ahansen This sounds bigger than your man having a problem with this one friend... Your man has an insecurity in your relationship. Whether he feels that you may leave him for this guy because he knows that you deserve someone better or maybe he's doing his own dirty...

ahansen My 9-year-old son and I carve pumpkins every year. We enjoy it so much that, even though there's only two of us in the house, our front steps are covered in carved pumpkins. We do about 6-8 every year and try to be as original and creative as we can be. If you...

About 2 years ago, I started a Freecycle group for our local area. When I first heard of Freecycle, the concept of passing items on and ridding myself of the extra clutter, finding items we may need, keeping items out of the...

ahansen I'm glad your experience with Freecycle has been as good as mine! I did have an instance where one member offered up a refridgerator. After the couple picked it up and got it plugged in, they discovered that it didn't work, despite the listing that said it...
