SweetVTmom I think that is an awesome thing. My boyfriend's nephew is about the same age and is actually on his 2nd motor home. He bought a small one and his father helped him fix it up. Then John sold it, made a $200 profit and bought something a little better. He is...

I am a member of a club in our town. The lodge is right on the lake. Today is the family picnic and it ended up looking like it is going to be a nice sunny day. They have hotdogs, ice cream, games, relays, pony rides and much...

SweetVTmom I bet your daughter was really excited to win the $5. Does she have plans for all that money yet? I am glad it didn't rain where you were. Some pretty awful storms went through the Albany, NY area yesterday. They have been getting hammered. Of course we are...

SweetVTmom I have not read through all of your responses so forgive me and just ignore my advice if someone has already told you this. I had this happen to me and I called them directly. I just needed to verify some information because some had tried to get into my...

SweetVTmom Sounds like a fun time Sunshine. The weather hasn't been the greatest the last couple days. We have had lots of rain here in Vermont. We are just coming out of a night of thunder storm after thunder storm--with huge amounts of down pours. Today, my plans are...

Well as we all know energy costs are going up, up, up...But I still can't believe this. I just got my electric bill. Now you have to realize, I live in a glorified studio apartment. I don't have air conditioning, only one fan...

SweetVTmom I live in a mobile home and my electric bill is high no matter what. In the summer time--I pay about $165 a month (with A/C)--in the winter time the rates go up here--so I pay about $180-$190 a month. I'll trade bills with you if you would like?

Last Sunday Matt and I were supposed to go to dinner together. For those who don't know Matt is my boyfriend and we have been together as a couple for 9 years. We do not live together because Matt is taking care of his mother and...

SweetVTmom I do agree life is short--but you can neglect your current boyfriend/girlfriend either. In your case--I think he is doing the right thing being there for his children. In the case of my friend, I think he needs to be alone and cater to his ex if he would like....

Today more and more people have concluded that there is no longer any point in 'holy wedlock'. It is often viewed that without any formal marriage bond, any children of the union would be illegitimate, in law, and could face many...

SweetVTmom IMO--Children are children no matter what way they are brought into this world. I think being "illegitimate" is really something that isn't look upon nowadays. It is just away of life. Even Sesame Street teaches children at a young age--that a family is...

SweetVTmom I am assuming she doesn't want to see her ex husband and ex mother in law because she is dying and she doesn't want them to see her like that. Of course she would want her children there. I am sure she wants them to be able to have closing. I would be there...

SweetVTmom Of course I would give my seat to a pregnant woman. I would for an elderly person as well. There have been times where I have seen a child and I let them have a seat because it is easier for an adult to stand on a bus than to have a little child be thrown...

SweetVTmom I have never stepped on her in the dark, but I have done the trip and fall in the middle of the night routine. She is a dark cat--and pretty good size. She likes to stretch out across the hallway. I will come out of my bedroom at night and there she will...

SweetVTmom I use to work in a restaurant where we chopped many onions at one time. Our head chef went to cooking school at Johnson and Wales. When he came back he taught me a neat trick with an onion--as I always had eyes stinging and tearing because some of the onions...

SweetVTmom I do wish I could take a nap after lunch most days. I think if I have a carb heavy lunch then I tend to become very drained by like 2pm. When I am eating healthy--I can usually cruise right through the afternoon and am fine until about dinner time. My lunch...

SweetVTmom I really don't like when people are watching me cook. It bothers me. I also don't like when I am in a groove and someone comes into the kitchen and tries to take over--that really annoys me. It's my kitchen and everybody needs to stay out..lol

SweetVTmom My boyfriend and I started saving lose change a couple years ago. Last year we used it for vacation--we had about $100 in the jar. This year we have not touched it, nor have we counted it--plus we throw in dollars and occasional $5 bill. Also, when I turn the...
