My dentist appointment yesterday was interesting. The dentist, who was very young and cute, was double-booked; but he did refill my tooth. Unfortunately he cannot handle a re-root canal. I have to go to a specialist who is over...

I feel like making some chicken tonight. That is the one food that everyone in the house seems to like eating. Thank goodness. I need some new ideas to cook the chicken though. Usually when I cook chicken I will either put...

Shar19 I've actually put some vegetable cream cheese inside the chicken breast before. It is so delicious and is always a hit in our household.

As an older person, I'm trying to find a new career change so that I can retire with some peace of mind. Unfortunately, I do not have a degree. Has anyone changed their career later in life by taking an online course to gain a...

Shar19 Ideally it makes sense to save as you're younger which I was able to do for a time. However, things come up and life happens. Then you're back to square one. Oh well, one day at a time.

I do not know why I expect the weather to be anything but changeable, it is Spring in Kansas. We have cool temperatures but not much precipitation. Hail fell sometime in the night Tuesday night. My houseplants would like to go...

Shar19 I understand about having plants that want to go outside. I have two hibiscus plants that we bring indoors every fall. Funny thing is they bloom indoors beautifully in October and November. I can't wait for warmer weather to transition them back outside.

I am seeing that many people are concerned over the thought that the world will end on December21, 2012, which is just sixteen days away. Some are even starting to panic which is a very sad thing to see happening because there is...

Shar19 I'm not concerned at all. If you think about there has always been a year and a date where people have said "it's the end". I think it is just a bunch of hype to get people to buy things and panic. Just live your life the same as you do now and don't worry...

My Son is coming for a week to help us get the ranch ready for the winter. The problem I have is cooking for him. He is a 52 year old man who is very active in bike riding, so he is on a strict diet for the races he rides. He...

Shar19 Hi Pat, I haven't been on in a long time. It's good to hear from you. One of the things you can do is chili in the crockpot. You could do either ground beef with kidney beans or ground turkey with white beans. Also pork chops with BBQ sauce or cream of...

Did either you or your children take a SAT or PSAT Prep class? I never did and I really wish I had, I felt completely unprepared when I took the SATs. My daughter is taking a prep class this weekend for both tests. She will be...

Shar19 When I was young I took the PSAT tests and they were required. Now I believe you can opt out of your children taking them. My children do take them in school though. I think it starts with the third grade. I do know a few parents who are totally against the...

Guess what!?! My little Miss Keely Jenn arrived after a very long labor on 6-26-12. My daughter had a tough time with her. She went in to be induced Sunday night/Monday morning at 12am and didn't have her for 24hours. Poor...

Shar19 So true, both people have to want to make it work. It makes no sense to me why some people will make things work with the "new" ways but then they fall right back into the "old" ways. I think they get lazy and don't try hard enough. I guess in a way it's our...

Shar19 Counseling can be a great help as long as both people are willing to go and do the work that is required to make the relationship better and stronger.

Shar19 I agree. It does take two. Both people have to want to make the changes for the better. If someone goes back to their "old" ways then obviously the counseling didn't work because they didn't stick to their "new" ways to make things better.

Shar19 You are lucky to have a strong bond. How long have you been married? I hope that it stays that way and you keep that bond. At least your friends tried the counseling so that was a step in the right direction even though it didn't work out for them.

Shar19 It takes two to make it work. If one person doesn't want the help or even try to fix things then it isn't going to get any better. I'm glad that in the end it all worked out for you.

Shar19 You were so smart to get out of that marriage. Some people have so many warning signs but still don't get out. You're right both people have to want to make it work and they have to be honest with each other.

Shar19 Marriage will always have it's bumps in the road but it's really how the couples handles them and gets through them that matters. If it hasn't been working out for a long time and is not getting better than it's probably time to move on. Both people have to...

Shar19 It is nice to be able to get advice from an elderly person who has been through marriage and tough times. They can sometimes give a lot of good advice. Although I believe that at times people need to seek the advice of a professional.

Shar19 That is a big problem right there - when one person doesn't or won't go to get help. It is like they are saying they don't care enough to save the marriage. You are better off being without a person like that.
