For the first time in our history, the Pentagon and Elected Officials are considering a decrease in the pensions for US military retirees. As those of you who know me would suspect, I have a huge problem with this! But not...

samrat16 I am strict & firm, but very much loving. My children mean the world to me and I love them with all of my heart. Sometimes I wonder "Do other parents love their children as much as I love mine?" However, I also expect my children to be obedient &...

bobosusanwang I spank her on the bottom and yelled to her only when I can't control her.I'm not sure if I did the right thing,so I'm confused and feel guilty after I did that.Older people told me that kids need to be disciplined by force sometimes.But it also broke my heart...

Jenith I do time out with my son but its rare to happen since he was still a toddler but it doesn't mean that because he was young I just tolerate him. I punish naughty behavior and speak firmly to him.

Heather Echola It seems to me that there is a time and a place for paddlings and raised voices, but not all the time. A well applied swat when you tell a two year old to stay away from the street gets his attention, and possibly prevents him from getting hit by a car. Kids...

jpso138 Well, what I consider comfort food is pizza. I love pizza and is crazy over it. There are even times that I make my own pizza. I buy a bread and pizza sauce, from there, I get to choose the toppings that I like on top. Well, maybe this craving for me was...

wilsongoddard My comfort foods are things like (chicken or turkey) meatloaf, veggie loaf, pizza, tacos, Indian cuisine (just about anything), macaroni and cheese, and, of course, Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Oh, and then there's mashed potatoes and gravy; can't forget that....

Heather Echola In the weather we are having right now, anything warm will make me sluggish. Brisk Iced Tea should do the trick for staying awake and getting stuff done. Now to collapse at the end of the day, hot cocoa would work, or a hot fudge sundae, since it is summer.

Chevee Hi GardenGerty, I agree with you. I don't know much about these programs either. I have been unemployed since 2008. I live in a very small town in the south and there just aren't any of these programs that I am aware of. Here there have been a lot of company...

kelly10 You need to budget, budget, budget. $2,300 a month seems a lot of money so I'd suggest you see what you can cut back on and then do a budget and stick to it. Can your husband not work more then 30 hours a week, surely this would be a great help or could you...
