Thank you for the EXCELLENT advice!!! A weekend away...ALONE is overdue and would be very therapeutic!! Thank you all for putting things into a wonderful new perspective for me. I'm sure we've all been in a place where we are so mired down in it, I think we just stop thinking!! I think I...

Hi Shelley, I'm so sorry to hear about DD. Unfortunately, I did have a plantar wart about two years ago. I think I got it from the locker room at the gym. I bet DD got it at school, maybe in gym class. As you probably know, it is actually caused by a virus that you pick up through any...

Hi Marie...thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me. I do plan on finding a therapist this week. I know it will help. As for your question was it a gradual change...I would have to answer no to that. I noticed right away when we got married and were living together that DH was...

Thanks so much Nancy, and all the wonderful Ladies who took the time to respond to me with such thoughtfulness. Thank you and ((((((HUGS)))))))) right back at you. And you know what...even though I'm only beginning my new journey, I feel a little relieved already. I know I don't have to...

Thanks, Ladies. I'll definitely try the letter idea. DH is big on writing me notes and they do "stay" with you so to speak. And I'll definitely read Dr. Laura's book. Sounds like I could definitely use that! I don't know if anyone had a chance to see Oprah last week or so when she had on...

>My husband also does absoloutely nothing! His version of >yard work is to write the gardener a check. He also loves to >write wonderful notes and give me flowers. I keep telling him >that emptying the dishwasher says I LOVE YOU more than a note >or flowers! If you made a list of all the...

First...thank YOU all for the hugs and advice. I am so grateful!! I truly am. DH and I dated for over two years before we got married. We each had our own houses (I had my own condo for six years). We both worked full time. DH seemed to love my independent nature. He seemed to love my...

Oh, NANCY...I'm taking those big, fat cyber hugs!!! Thanks. Wow, you saw this coming, huh? I had NO idea!! Isn't that amazing? It may sound silly, but that actually makes me feel a little bit better. I am far from perfect, but I am a kind person. DH thinks I'm too kind. I am kind, but...

Ashley...I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and care to respond to me and elaborate on what has worked for you. God bless you! I completely appreciate your advice and am so happy to hear that these things have worked for you. I do feel that I am already a great time manager. I...

"That being said, what do you think will happen if you just STOP doing everything for him? For instance, if he leaves his laundry on the line, take it down and put it in a basket. Don't fold it and put it away. When he runs out of clean underwear, he'll have to get it himself. Don't cook...

Okay..I'm crying now but it's a good cry for a change. THANK you for the much-needed hugs and advice. I was an independent, strong, happy woman just a few short years ago believe it or not!!!! You are all so right. I think you all hit the nail on the head. This is my second marriage and I...

Thanks Ladies. You know intellectually, I KNOW you are both right. And I would have given the same advice if it were someone else. You are so right that we teach people how to treat us. I do plan to get some counseling for myself. I feel like I've lost myself in this. Thanks so much...

Hi Ladies, I'd appreciate any advice with regard to this issue. I am so tired, sad, frustrated, confused and disappointed and I honestly don't know what to do. DH and I will be married four years this year. I do love him very much, but frankly I am EXHAUSTED. I recently cut back on my...

I don't particularly care for the hammer punches, scoops and scoop turns.

Hi Rhiannon! I am pretty fair and I use Neutrogena sunless tanning lotion year round. It gives me a little color that is not orange. I have no problems with it streaking or coming off when I sweat, and I do sweat daily :) I apply it after I shower and exfoliate, and I use rubber gloves for...

Charlotte..I heard this on T.V. while doing the dishes and rushed to the forums to see if there was a post about it and here it is. I immediately thought of you when I heard the news. I think they actually re-did a show last year because the numbers were wrong? I know I've had trouble getting...

You Girls are so creative. Here's mine.. L-loved I-inspiring (to my clients hopefully:-) ) S-spunky A-assured (most of the time)- Hope you don't mind me borrowing that one :)

Wow...I've never even heard of some of these combinations..haha. This has been enlightening. For me, I'd have to say my downfall was Nacho Cheese Doritos, Sun Chips, Cheetos, Cheese nips...etc. I would eat the entire bag or box at one sitting, and I'm not talking about the snack sized bags...
