So sorry for you. How scary for you to actually see it happen. . . . My prayers are with you. Valerie

Hi Susan Glad you're feeling well. Get some rest: it's amazing how general anesthesia 'knocks you out' even days after. And don't skimp on the pain meds! Valerie :-)

Laura, Are you married? If not, and you're attracted to each other, I wouldn't let the age factor discourage you. Several of my friends are w/ much (>5yrs.) older guys and it's working out well for all of them. Of course, if you're married, acting on your attraction only makes things worse...

Agree about it depending on the configuration of your dog's foot for nail clipping. (I've never owned a husky, so am useless!). Only one of our six (groan!) dogs needs her nails trimmed regularly and it's our corgi. She weighs 28 lbs. and it takes 2 people to cut them, w/ her squealing and...

DOH! I forgot, in my long winded dog post, to mention what dogs I have. Currently, we have 2 ten yr. old shelties, a 5 yr. old corgi, 2 yr. corgi mix, 5 yr. old and 1 yr. old border collies. If someone told me 10 yrs. ago, I'd have six dogs, I'd have thought they were insane! 3 from breeders...

Welcome to the world of dog people, Heather! Puppies are a lot of work but even more fun. You've gotten good advice here, and I'd like to add some that might be helpful. :-) The upfront expense of adding a dog to your life is pricey, but it's a long term investment. I'd definitely encourage...

you guys ROCK! thanks Valerie

thanks ladies! Valerie

I've hooked up w/ a personal trainer and it's helped tremendously in keeping me focused (my big problem when it comes to working out and eating wisely). I've had egg whites (1cup) just about every am for the past 2 wks. w/ vegetables tossed in to make an omlette. I'm starting to dread it and...

great! Valerie

I just remember that BOTH of my husband's sisters wore white to our wedding! (I must have blocked that out like the trauma it was!). We get along now, 23 yrs. later, but it really didn't help us get off to a great start. Valerie

Born and raised in Buffalo, lived and worked in Rochester and now live in Orange County, about 60 miles from Manhattan. Valerie :-)

I just filled up my Exlorer in NJ, where gas is 2.29/gal. 21.3 gallons cost me just shy of $50! I'm ready to put up w/ less comfort for more fuel economy. Valerie :-)

RE: Wicked My daughter and I just went to see it on Bdwy. last week and it is great! If you're in NYC to see a show, check out Ellen's Stardust Diner for a meal. Prices are very reasonable (for NYC), singing waitstaff is over the top fun. Here's a write up...

seriously tacky Valerie

Hey Lisa, I'm from NY too! Right over the NJ border, so I'm able to save 20cents per gallon in NJ. As a wise woman once said, "It's a good thing!" Valerie :-)

Hi Lisa just curious what it cost you to fill up your tank and what your MPG is? thx. Valerie :-) Ford does, I think, have the best deals out there for SUVs.

Jes, I don't have an exedition but an explorer. We thought we 'needed' it because my husband's commute can be treacherous in the winter (over a mountain etc). We have 3 kids and opted for the 7 passenger. After having it 3 yrs. (and still loving the way it drives), I can honestly say it's...

Denise, My autistic son, Ben, 19, is my oldest. I have 16 yr. old Nick (who's in Japan right now w/ www.studentambassadors.org) and 14 yr. old Audrey. Both are good students, athletes and musicians. Even w/ all they've been blessed w/ in terms of abilities, my heart aches for Ben and how...

Hi Heather, My oldest, Ben, is autistic. He turned 19 (impossible to believe!) in April and your post brought me back. It was 1st grade when B. started to 'get it' about the toilet but wasn't out of pull-ups during the day until 2nd grade. (He wasn't dry at nite for several yrs. later). He...
