    No thread on the Soprano's yet?

    I was actually relieved, if that makes sense. I wasn't loving this final season until the last 3 episodes. It didn't even feel like "the Sopranos" to me. I was worried Tony would get 'wacked', but when Phil got it, I figured he was safe. I would have been shocked to see him go into the...

Great restaurants (and not just lobster!), spectacular coastline etc. We went 5 yrs. ago and are headed back for what will in all likelihood be our final family vacation (my son heads off to Cornell...

    And Tucker Too... OT - Good bye to a great dog

    Christine So sorry for your loss. The loss of a beloved pet is hard to understand for people who don't have that relationship. Tucker was a beautiful dog, brilliant and loving. It's especially difficult because he had many more good years left in him. It will eventually hurt less, but the...

    well, you looked great! I was really impressed w/ how articulate he was. (A lot of surgeons, not so good w/ making the talk). He really presented his info. in a very easy to understand manner. Valerie

    Do You LOVE Your Job?

    LOVE my job. I'm a beside nurse for 25 yrs., the last 20 in labor and delivery. Incredibly stressful, on my feet most of the time, lousy hours etc. When it's sad, it's the worst. For the most part, the outcome is a good one thank God. I'm incredibly fortunate to work so closely w/ people at...

    How do you tell your husband you may NEVER want kids?

    RE: How do you tell your husband you may NEVER want kid... ((((Janice))))) Having children is the toughest thing. Someone else's needs ALWAYS come before your own. Someone is dependent upon you for their every need, and then dependent on you to teach them to be independent! You're never...

    Please Help Me - In major (emotional) pain..

    Dear Amy, So sorry for the pain you're in. Your ex-boyfriend sounds a great deal like my husband's brother. Dated a great girl who was perfect for him. We all could see it. They broke up and reconciled a few times before it was finally over. Bottom line was that he wasn't ready to get...

    In regards to the post on too many bathrooms...

    We went from 2 pd. off cars to 2 car payments 3 yrs. ago. It just was rotten timing. We'll do a BIG dance when both are paid off and plan to drive them into the ground after that (like our last 2). The big downside is having a 17 yr. old son who has a car. Insurance is astronimical for that...

    Flying Pig Marathon (VERY LONG)

    Wow Sarah! How great! I ran a 1/2 marathon 10 yrs. ago and can relate so much to your journey. When I ran, it really reminded me of having my kids: lots of hard work and while the encouragement of others helped a lot, I knew it was ultimately up to ME. I still remember that surreal feeling...
