    Elder Care Questions

    I'm dealing with the same issues with my parents. Here's what I found out in the last few months: If they are in a nursing home and have Tricare for Life, Tricare will pay the amount Medicare won't pay for the first 100 days. They will also pay for unlimited days as long as skilled nursing...

    I need to vent! Not to happy with a coach!

    My daughter, who is a freshmen, plays three sports, volleyball, basketball and softball. She's played basketball and softball since she was 5, but just started volleyball in the 7th grade. So this is her third year of playing. 7th grade and 8th grade she got very little playing time. I mean...

    Anyone's kids play volleyball?

    My 8th grader does. She played for the middle school during the Fall of her 7th and 8th grade and she plays "club" ball this Spring. Most girls start at 5th or 6th grade playing club ball. Yes, it is very expensive. We paid $1600 just for her to play (which included uniforms...

    Farting Etiquette

    When I sneeze, I also tend to fart. My family calls it the sneeze-n-fart. At home, it's okay, but not when I'm at work. I always try to stand up against a wall or sit down. Consequently, I try to hold my sneeze and everyone's always laughing at my pitiful sneeze. I've never had enough...

    Do you know anyone with a controlling spouse?

    My sister was. Luckily, she finally got rid of him a few years ago. A few things I can think of. While they were visiting, I needed to run to Kmart to pick up something for my kids that they needed for school. Kmart is less than a mile away. She had to ask him PERMISSION if she could go...

    Am I the only one who thinks Scott Baio is an idiot?

    It was taped back in October/November, but they are new episodes that are being shown. Everyone knows it's a girl, but he's not allowed to give out her name until the episode airs.

    Has anyone ever put extra $$ on your ressie?

    You definitely can. We always do it and it works out great. We like having EVERYTHING paid for and not having a bill when we leave.

    Job offer - should I negotiate salary?

    I'm sure the amount towards the daycare is much more than $500. So in total, it sounds like you're getting a raise. I would be happy with what's been offered and just accept the job as offered.

    Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

    Actually, you might want to start looking now. Good breeders usually have a waiting list or the puppies are "sold" as soon as they're born.

    Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

    Well, when we got our puppy, he was four months old and completely housebroken by the breeder. He never has any accidents unless he's got an upset tummy. He knows to go to the back door and wait. He'll be 9 this April. I know it sounds crazy, but he's just a perfect dog!! The other two...

    Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

    I have one and he is the most wonderful thing!! I also have a chihuahua (sp) and a shih tzu, which I've had about a year. I really wish we had gotten other cavalier. He has never even looked at anybody wrong. We have all kinds of kids running through the house and he just lays there. Go...

    has anyone driven from around Georgia to Alabama?

    From Atlanta to Birmingham is about two hours. It just depends on where in Alabama you're going. Are you going to need to rent a car when you get there? Four hours driving is probably at least a tank and a half of gas. 1.5 x 40 a tank is $60.00 x 2 (each way), it's costing you $120 just...

    Have you ever dreamt of something and then it happened?

    It happens to me all the time. It's really freaky. The first time I remember it happening was I dreamed I got off an elevator, came to brown wall, couldn't decide to turn left or turn right. So several years down the road I started working at this place and had been there a while when it...

    Preteen Friendship Drama! What can I do? (long)

    I really feel sorry the girl. I was raised by an evil stepmother who hated me and told me so every single day. I would get in trouble for the slighest thing. Using (what she thought) was too much toothpaste, walking too fast or too hard, being in a good mood, talking to friends, getting a...

    My Pants are too Dangerous...!

    When my son was about 5, I had a dental appt. He wanted to go and I explained to him that he couldn't. (You can't watch a 5-year old from the dentist's chair). He kept insisting and said he wanted to see the dentist. So I told him that the doctor had enough PATIENTS that day. He said mommy...

    What is the penalty in IL for killing your kid? It may be worth it!!

    Mine left her North Face jacket and Merrell's (which she got for Christmas) at a basketball game last night. We knew where she left them. So I told her that I would call the school to see if they had them and hopefully no one took them. She said that was embarrasing and I could just buy...

    Question for anyone over 30

    Well, until I was 10 I was raised by my mother. There were definitely no boundaries for us. We did whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. I remember stealing and smoking cigarettes at that young age. We walked wherever we wanted to go. When I was 10, we were sent to live with my father...

    Sticky family situation............(LONG POST)

    I would definitely talk to your dad about your concerns. I agree to either just give her the house or sell the house and she gets the proceeds. When my dad died, he had a very evil wife. (Whole other story). She had four kids. (They didn't marry until her kids were adults and she never...

    Honda CRV

    We have a 2006 Camry and a 2007 CRV. We traded in my husband's truck for the CRV. The Camry was mine to drive, but when we got the CRV, I took it over. I refuse to drive the Camry now. I love, love, love the CRV. We have only had Toyotas for 20 years. So it was hard to convince DH to...
