When Info-mercial Shopping Becomes Hoarding.

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 19 May 11

My family runs an estate liquidating company. When a loved one dies or needs to move to a rest home or just downsizing into a smaller house, they hire us to come in and sell your antiques etc. More and more I see houses that older...

watch out! mom has a new book.

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 18 May 11

My kids hate it when I get a new book. Especially when it is one I have waited to come out. I guess I do spend a little more time reading than cooking or cleaning but for the most part I wait until after dinner and dishes. When I...

My dogs are getting fat.

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 12 May 11

The older my dogs get the more weight they are putting on. Of course I still walk them at night and we have a big yard for them to run. My Vet gave me a great idea I thought I would share with you all. I give them half the food I...

Not close to my a parent?

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 11 May 11

I am very close to my husbands family. Yes, while that is a good thing, they don't understand how I am not closer to my mother. I can't say that there is a good reason why, just never really was. I left home when I was 17. I have...

Awkward dog moments

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 11 May 11

This kind of goes along with the discussion I just left in "Life" called awkward neighbor moments. But the dog version is funny too. So when my husband got up to check on the rustling noise in the driveway last night, he called...

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 9 May 11

I love doing fun things with my kids. Anytime they want to hang out with mom is special now that they are teens. We have a theme park close by and it is sooo expensive. Without flying to California, it is more than going to...

Are you close in age to your step kids?

About 6 years ago I married a wonderful man. He has 3 kids 25-35 years old and 2 grandkids. I have 3 kids in the 14-21 range. He took in my children even though it was starting over for him. Yes, there was an adjustment period but...

Age Difference: Is it an Issue?

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 9 May 11

It's interesting how age is an issue earlier in life than later. When you are in your 20's society tells you that dating or marrying someone in their 40's or 50's may be unacceptable. But if you are in your late 30's or early 40's...

Those infamous words from Alan Jackson. It has been several years and my kids brought this up last night and it got me thinking. Over September 11th, when the towers came crashing down, I was stuck in Houston Texas. My kids were...

Would you or are you "Waiting for Someone"

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 27 Apr 11

I was surprised to hear the stats on how many people are "waiting for someone", to get out of prison or jail. Love or married to someone who is in prison and some may never get out. I'm not saying they don't deserve love also, and...

Here I am a college educated person. While I currently have a job that pays me a "not bad" salary, I am puzzled by the circumstances of the past. When I was looking for a job several years ago I was told that I had the experience...

Integrity in your work

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 11 Apr 11

How come nowadays a lot of people do not seem to have the integrity in the workplace like they used too? Do we just not expect as much? Here is where I am coming from. I have worked for the same company for over 10 years and in...

Are you unlucky enough to have it happen not only once but twice?

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 6 Apr 11

I was listening to the news last night and this poor lady was walking through a field and fell into a sink hole. Luckily she still was in range of cell phone service and could call emergency services. When they were interviewing...

When I was going to school and starting my family, if you had an associates degree, you were going to do quite well for yourself. Now as my kids are in high school and we are discussing colleges, if they don't go really far,...

Crime - Someone broke into a house

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 28 Mar 11

This totally infuriates me. In my local paper today, there was a guy that broke into a house. The elderly couple that was home at the time shot the man. He didn't die but fell back outside onto the porch. Now his family and him...

Do you fix your dogs when they break a leg or a bone?

snyderblog @snyderblog (82) • United States 25 Mar 11

Anyone that knows me knows my dogs are my furry babies. I love my kids more than anything in the world but my dogs are always glad to see me and never talk back. So my oldest dog broke his back leg while we were out flying a kite...
