So, after a little over 4 years of being a stay-at-home mom I am finally trying to re-enter the workforce. It has been hard to even land an interview, let me tell you! But I finally have one coming up this week and I really don't...

Life can really suck sometimes. I just got in from a having a great day and got a message from my friend to call her. I used to work with her and her mother for years. And we were very good friends outside of work. Her mother died...

lbinkley Losing someone you love is very hard, and everyone deals with their emotions in times like this differently. I went through stages of anger and depression when I lost my brother. Really though, I came to realize that it's ok to be mad sometimes, and it's ok to...

So, I was getting ready to leave yesterday and when I went to put my dogs in the basement.. I see that there was at least a good 4 inches of water in there, because my sump pump quit working!!!!! It was awful! Problem is though,...

lbinkley Thanks you very much for your response jarves, but I DO have a drainage system in my basement! My home is only 4 years old, and I am pretty far up north, so when the snow melts it is pretty much mandatory to have something like this in place. HOWEVER, the sump...

lbinkley Thanks for the reply. Yeah I would have been VERY angry with that landlord for leading me to believe I could store things too!! I'm sorry to hear you lost everything! Fortunately... I think I might be a bit luckier than that because I had a lot of them...

Just heard on the news, that they are trying to pass a bill that restaurants are not allowed to serve obese people. What? If you are obese, you are not allowed to eat? Some people are obese due to medical conditions and reasons...

lbinkley I am so angry about this that I don't think I can even type a full response! I mean dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right, obese people can't eat? And that is supposed to help something. What if they can't cook? What if they are traveling? So no obese people...

lbinkley I am so sorry to hear about this and I am praying that she will be ok. I know how hard it can be with some children. Some teachers or aides or whoever in the education field just seem to get a better response out of children than others. My sister has Down...

lbinkley i usually wear jammies to bed. I am not comfortable without them really, because my 4 year old son just barges in in the morning... but when it's so hot I can't stand it I will still sleep in just undies and a tank top. It just depends. I'm kind of addicted to...

Do you think that the parent who does not have custody should be held financially resposible for the child still? What if they dont see the child?

lbinkley I think that the parent who does not have custody should ALWAYS have financial responsibility no matter what. If they have visitation, so what? That child still needs a roof over their head and food in their stomach when they aren't with the non-custodial...

lbinkley Yeah I am like that. I don't like to just blow large amounts of money on myself. I mean I would LIKE to, but when I think about it I always think about "well we need diapers, and we should stock up on more shampoo while it's on sale, and what if the car breaks...

lbinkley I think it would be hard to rent a property out to people, especially if you don't know them. It's like "I paid money for this, and put my own sweat and tears into this, and these people could just destroy it and not even care". I don't know if I would be able...

lbinkley I have had my eyebrow done twice, and I have 7 tats. Personally, I don't think tats hurt very much anyway, but I have one that goes all the way around my ankle and I do think that hurt a LOT more than getting my eyebrow done either time. I don't have it in...

lbinkley Don't be offended... but are you the wife pretending to be the husband? LOL! I am just kidding, that is a VERY sweet response though. I'm sure she knows all the time just how much she is loved. Hey, you should give lessons to those husbands who aren't as...
