Wow! Thank you once again for your compassion and some great nuggets of wisdom. I made an interesting observation about my mom and I'm not sure if its just a total coincidence, but she the doctor who treated her at the ER gave her a muscle relaxer and I noticed a huge turnaround in her...

Thank you so much! Your kindness overwhelms me. I did get my Perfectly Snug topper today, I paid a small fortune for it as well as expedited shipping so I wouldn't have to wait 15-20 days for it to be built and ship from Canada. I put it on my bed and tested it and I think its going to work...

Thank you so much. Your kindness and compassion never ceases to amaze me. I'm already post menopause after my hysterectomy even though I was left with one ovary. The whole nighttime temp thing is that I was used to sleeping in a house where the a/c was set to 71 at night. When I arrived...

In a few days, it'll be 3 months since I moved in with my mom and step-dad after a violent verbal altercation with my husband. And from what I understand, in 3 months there has been no change in him. Yes, he's seeing a counselor and reading books about marriage, but he is still not doing...

Thank you so much for your beautiful, caring response. You hit on so many points that have helped me immensely. Each day gets a little better. I had my first virtual group counseling session on Monday night and I'm the newbie in a group of 12 ladies. I'm finally able to start processing...

I actually have the 552's that I bought from Amazon back in 2016. I've never had a problem with the plates. When I was getting my things out of my house, and my stepdad was helping me load all my weights, he said I wish your hobbies were arts and crafts instead of being an athlete!

Its been awhile since I've been here because I've been so busy over the past few months. But my life took an unexpected turn on June 17, 2025. Things at my household were already tense and when we got the foreclosure notice back in March, that just intensified matters. The closer we got to...

I've been super busy and wanted to post an update as to what's been going on. First of all, after my husband reached out to a bankruptcy attorney, he was advised that if the only reason he was filing was to buy extra time in the house, that was not a smart idea. The attorney did however talk...

That made me think about my mom's Debbie Reynolds workout VHS tape! It was set to big band music and supposedly was based on a the training she got to be a dancer from MGM studios.

I loved Turbo Jam but liked Turbo Fire better . I’m actually cleaning things out in preparation to move back home and put my turbo jam dvds as well as two Jillian Michaels box sets in the little free library across the street from my house. My mom and stepdad set up a daybed in a spare room...

Well we found out today that the brothers aren’t going to accept our offer to prevent the foreclosure. I’ve already talked to my parents about the situation and they even called me back tonight to see if they needed to come pick up Luca and me. I had to pretend it was a wrong number and then...

I am finally done with Kevin, once and for all. On Sunday we were texting and I've been trying to figure out what's going on with very limited communication and he finally said he's just about settled on going back to Wales as he doesn't think he can live in this country much longer. And I...

I get my weightlifting gloves from academy sporting goods store. They’re affordable and decent quality but always and up tearing apart at the fingers.

My husband had a conversation with the brothers who hold the note on the house and they said they don’t want to throw us out, they want money. They also said they would feel more comfortable if the house was deeded back to them. So my husbands idea is to deed the house back to them, pay rent...

Thank you! I found out this morning that I got the job! Except our house is supposed to be auctioned off the day after my training starts.
