 I set goals for myself but never make New Year's resolutions. It puts too much pressure on a person, I think. My goals have no deadline, no date to be done by. When I set goals, I begin working on them right away and they'll get done when they get done. Life is short and I don't want to be stressing over reaching deadlines. I'm just happy to be alive each day. I try every day to be the best per... |

I would be terribly hurt. There is nothing that could ever come on TV that I would have to watch if I had something special planned with my husband. I'm a firm believer that we have to mentally go back to the time when we were dating and think about what I would do then. I doubt anyone would cancel a special date because of a special TV event with their significant other early on in their relat... |

 Hi Neil. Oh, I feel so bad for you! That must be awful. I've never had this particular problem but I've heard plenty. I can offer a suggestion that might help, though.
When my sister was alive, she got sties on her eyelids quite often. She also got boils under her arm. We treated her, aside from the antibiotics she got from the doctor, with a warm tea bag. Something in the tea, most likely t... |

You know, I noticed my husband's cat's coat has gotten incredibly thicker, much earlier than normal. My cat, Bean, is such a large cat anyway that I didn't really notice his coat getting thicker until I just looked at him. Yep, his is thicker, too. I guess I'll just look at the cats from now on to determine how the winter will be. |

 You made me remember a picture I saw of Laurel and Hardy where Laurel has a handkerchief wrapped around his jaw/head. I think there was an actual reason for that... like a poltice or something. Maybe I should have done that with my son. LOL
Anyway, the tooth is history now... and so is $514.00! I can't believe that oral surgeon charged so much. AND, that was with a 10% discount for paying in... |

Don't teeth suck? Well, especially wisdom teeth but, generally speaking, teeth almost always cause problems. And dentists are right there to take our money.
I assume he's feeling better today. I haven't heard from him. But, not hearing from him is better than getting a phone call asking me to take him back to the dentist or the ER, I suppose. He's probably been sleeping off and on today with... |

Hi indahfth. Erma Bombeck wrote a book entitled, "Life is What Happens When You're Busy Making Other Plans." I LOVE that title because it's so true! Plans often go awry. The trick is to enjoy the journey, not the destination. You have the right attitude, in my opinion, anyway.[em]thumbup[/em] |

One more thing I almost forgot. I have a friend who is very similar to the person you mentioned. She'll buy new clothes, shoes, go to expensive restaurants, etc. and then complain about having no money for her bills. This is a constant thing, too; not just one or two times.
I try to tell her that she has to tighten her belt and pay bills first, but she never listens. Every now and then, when... |
