Dad gets dibs...I have a small family, BUT I have friends who I call "family" and we mean it with all sincerity. We are extremely close, the kids call my parents grandma/grandpa etc...I feel wholeheartedly (that's not supposed to be one word, is it?) though that if I were in your shoes, Dad...

RE: new 'kay, said I wasn't gonna cry again!! Janie, you're right, I know, and thank you. I am a huge animal lover, and I was maybe getting a little selfish. Thanks Janie, you're so sweet and positive all the time. Brandi eta: I'm still going to post his adorable pic tomorrow IF I can...

RE: new Well 2 hours after I called her, she called back and had her son in law come and get him. :( I was sad, and I believe he was too ;) She called and told me that she made an appt to get him fixed, and thanked me profusely. She called herself his "mom" which made me feel like she loves...

RE: new Okay so his owner lives about a mile away from me. The Humane Society gave me her name and number, and 15 hours after we found her, the lady didn't even know he was missing!!! Ugh, that just makes me sick! Now I'm waiting for her to call back to see when she might be able to pick him...

I will post pics as soon as I can, but I have the most adorable stray laying at my feet right now. He looks like a german shepard mixed with something, but he's got to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen. My SO and his son found him outside when he almost got ran over. We checked with our...

For me it WAS spiders...well, I still don't want to see them, but a few years ago I HAD to face my fear...I lived alone and rented a house that had been empty for a month. It had many spiders!!! A few years before that, I was at my mom's house and was going to the bathroom. Her bathroom...

Oh and here I was feeling like the evil step mother...even though SO and I aren't married, I'm helping raise this boy, who is SO SPOILED by grandparents! They have a cell phone for him, which is fine, he's 12 soon to be 13. It's nice when we need to reach him too. BUT...his grandparents just...

I will 2nd or 3rd or 4th the importance of getting YOUR perfect shoe. Recommendations are great, but like others have said, what works for one person may not do a thing for you. If you have a chance to get to a specialty store, do so. I ran for 5 years before I finally broke down and went to...

I'm living in a small city now, about 20 minutes from Mt. Vernon, called Sedro Woolley. I grew up and lived most of my life in Burlington. I still work in Mt. Vernon. Brandi

I think that this is one of the most supportive places I have ever found. I've lurked/posted/lurked/posted for 4 + years...and yes, there are always some who come specifically just to stir the pot. But, if you stay awhile and really read what goes on here...you will see some really unique...

Ok, I'll let real mom's chime in here...but my first thought when you asked if it would be silly to buy stuff she may not wear for over a year was just think when they ARE able to fit into it, they will remember your thoughtfulness YET again. ya know? Here they will sit and have this adorable...

Caddyshack Chevy Chase's character to Danny the caddy: "you see Danny, to me winning isn't, you do." There are several from Dumb and Dumber, I probably quote that movie daily. "excuse me, Flo? what's the soup du jour?" "it's the soup of the day" "mmm, that sounds good, I'll...

anonymous, I remember reading your post from a little bit ago. I also posted about an abusive situation recently. I'm also still here in the same situation. I'm home, and he's out at the bar. So not the life I wanted. And when he comes home, I'LL BE THE RUDE ONE...in his eyes. For...

Ditto Pixiesis!! My sentiments exactly Brandi

I used to drink about 100-120 oz. and found over time that was too much for me. I would find that I almost had the feeling of having to go again right after going...very annoying. I cut back to 65-80, but I don't measure exact amounts. I drink water all day long, and spread it out. I also...

Thank you Vee!! I'll try that when I get home! Brandi
