That's what I do, too.

Hence the reason for so many people being on prescriptions when they might not need to be. Obviously, you HAVE to be on some medications in order to continue to live. There are a lot of people who are simply addicted and others who take meds that aren't needed because their doctor has prescribed them and never rechecked. Case in point: my dear, long time friend is morbidly obese (I'm talking close to 400 pounds), diabetic, has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Well, the high blood pressure and high cholesterol and even the high blood sugars are questionable. Her last BS was 90

Everyone is just so thankful to have a job they won't report it. Then again, there are a lot of people who really have no idea about what they really get paid. They could be getting paid minimum wage and not realize it, thinking it's minimum wage AFTER taxes that they have to be paid (it's not).

Nope, I don't need dogs. Not yet anyway. Heading to Home Depot to pick up a small supply of boxes and tape. It's a cold day, too cold for me to enjoy getting out and the daughter and her family are sick with a stomach virus so I won't be visiting them. Might as well pack some things. Maybe it will tire me enough I can fall asleep before 4 a.m.

I told my husband that I was really glad we had twice the speed now because it takes three times as long to do anything. I've also lost my connection just about every day at 1:00 p.m.

It will be skin off his back if the DOL finds out. It is mandatory that employees, even servers, get paid $7.25 an hour. Employers who have servers aren't required to pay them more than $2.13 as long as the difference is made up in tips. If the employee doesn't make it up in tips, the employer still has to pay them $7.25 an hour. That isn't debatable.

Nope! Going to the Florida panhandle. The problem with that (the expense of staging) is that I don't think we can do it on the $150 we will have left after we buy the house. Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration. We will have $175 left.

We have everything in neutral colors and removed the gaudy wallpaper years ago. Even our sofa and chairs are neutral. I couldn't tell you a thing about the furnishings in the one house we looked at recently. I can tell you that seeing their furniture helped us "see" ours in the same space. I'd go see the grandbabies while the house is being shown, for certain. I don't even want to be here when it's shown. That's one reason I prefer to wait until we've moved.

Why wait? Logistics actually. We've been here 34 years and it will take us a little time to get everything packed and ready to go. Not long to do the actual "going" but the packing is the problem. And we haven't got the other house just yet. Once we close on it, we can be out in a week or less. Since we have back and knee problems and the move is going to be physically difficult for us, we don't want to have to move things twice. We prefer doing it once. We did come up with a solution to the storage of the packed boxes. A solution we both can live with and one that won't loo

I ask this question of those of you who have recently sold or purchased a house. My husband and I are getting ready to put our house on the market. Only problem is we can't decide whether to do that before we move or wait until we have moved out and cleaned up everything, not that it will take much, just the carpets really. We have been in houses that were vacant and that has a definite advantage in that you don't feel like you're invading someone else's space. It's also a disadvantage in that you don't know what furniture looks like in the house and how you can arrange it. We

Insurance. They weren't nearly as expensive when there was no such thing as prescription coverage.

I hope to high heaven that we're settled in by a few months. We hope to be moved by the end of April.

YIKES!! It would have to be REAL bad for me to *want* to go shopping. Though I do need boxes.

There are people on blood pressure meds who would kill for a BP of 110/78.

New Horizons Outdoors on Veterans Memorial in Douglasville. From Paulding, go 92 to downtown Douglasville. Cross railroad tracks, turn left. It's a couple of miles on the right. Google them for more contact info. Just add .com after their name.

Yep, they probably would. I avoid those devil cookies. I just cannot eat ONE.

Yes, from our church. We were so stunned, we didn't know what to say or do. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and just assumed they gave the tip directly to the server.

We don't know if they did or not. We thought we saw them pay the bill in cash. Since the server was not in the area when we left, we find it difficult to believe they handed her the tip. We never asked them about it because quite honestly, we didn't want to associate with them after that. That was our second time going out to eat with them and my husband said he was pretty sure they didn't leave any tip the first time we went out even though we did.

Then Mama June needs to support the Scouts by buying cookies, not by selling something her child is not even supposed to be doing. It's about teaching the girls business skills, sales skills and marketing skills. It's not about selling the most cookies. And just WTH is a "Facebook" badge? FWIW, I was a Brownie and went to Scouts until I was a Cadette. Middle daughter went for about the same length of time. Youngest daughter for about 3 years, during which time I was a part-time leader and Cookie Mom.

Not what Girls Scouts says: http://www.girlscout...cookies/faq.asp Although Girl Scouts of the USA does not currently allow online sales of Girl Scout Cookies, we are presently researching how to make it possible for girls to engage consumers in online sales, while continuing to help them develop critical and relevant entrepreneurship skills in the process.

Hubby and I went to dinner with a couple from our church. We went to our favorite place--Cracker Barrel--and had a server who knew us well. We placed a tip larger than our usual tip on the table. We noticed the other couple stayed behind a minute or two, as we went on to the front to pay. As we got near the front, my husband looked back and saw the man take our tip off the table and put it in his pocket! Now, whether or not they gave the server a tip of any kind, we don't know. But to say this embarrassed us is not even describing it well. We KNEW the server. We had gotten great servic

My husband flew a lot in his job. He always dressed nice because he never knew when he might be on the same flight as a customer or another vendor going to the same paper mill. He flew so much to the same places on the same flights that he got to know some of the flight attendants because many of them work the same flights. Once he left a mill and knew he had just barely enough time to get to the airport in time for the last flight of the day back to Atlanta, so instead of going to clean up and change clothes, he just went to the airport. They held the plane a couple of minutes to give him

The first time I flew was from Milwaukee to Atlanta. My mom and I both dressed very nice. We both had on outfits that my oldest sister had chosen for us (she had a clothing boutique). We were in coach but still had a full meal. I remember how most people looked like business professionals on that flight. That flight got a bit bumpy because there was a tropical storm or the remains of one somewhere around TN or KY. Difficult to eat when your food is flying up in the air. The next time I flew was 2 years later round trip from Atlanta to Kansas City. Again, we dressed very nice and had

No wonder you don't feel "worthy" of asking him for $140. You don't feel you're worth that, to him or to yourself. All I gotta say is your ex must have done a hell of a job when it came to destroying your self worth. If it were me, I'd go back to or call the health department and tell them I was on my own and got zero help from anyone and that the person I lived with was "kind enough" to keep a roof over my head. Sounds like you might be better off without him than you are with him.
