Does he take full and complete responsibility? Is he truly sorry? If so then yes, it can survive. Don't listen to the "Once a cheater, always a cheater" and "men are dogs", and "It's just in a man's nature" and all those others who have nothing to offer but silly one liners. You have to BOTH want to get past it and you…

You bumped a thread from MARCH to post something completely incoherent? :noway: How many pages deep was this buried anyhow?

Muppet Christmas Carol A Christmas Story Scrooged

We owned a home in MI that we rented out for 1 1/2 years before we decided to sell. We currently own a home in AZ that we've been renting out for 2 1/2 years. If you can afford something decent I'd recommend it. Both the houses we rented out were our former homes. We left MI to move to AZ and we left AZ when hubby got a…

I think if you are OBVIOUSLY over 21 you don't get carded. I'm 43 and haven't been carded in about 6 years (I am the one who was carded for cigarettes on my 32nd birthday.) Looking young is a great thing for the most part but even at 43 it still causes me some problems. I was 27 when my first son was born. I was college…

We bought our first house when I was 24. One day a girl came to teh door selling magazines and asked if my mother was home. :laugh: On my 32nd birthday I ran out to the store. Hubby had a friend over and he asked me to pick him up some cigarettes so I did. I got carded. :laugh: I can laugh about it now but there were some…

My only problem with home schoolers is when the parents are ignorant, lazy, or teach the Bible instead of fact. I've seen some wonderful homeschooler parents and kids. I've also seen some 10yr olds who were illiterate because mom did an "unschool" and let the kid learn what they wanted and the kid only wanted to learn TV…

I was. Born and raised until age 9 in Allen Park. Then moved to Woodhaven until I went to college at EMU. Lived in Superior Twp after I got married then moved to Canton. We left MI in 2004.

I'm 43 and would still be a bit creeped out if my parents hired a stripper for me. :noway:

Just when you think people surely couldn't get any stupider...

In Germany there is a store called Globus. For Americans imagine Walmart sold Trader Joe's products. It was wonderful! In a typical American grocery store the cheese section is maybe 5 steps long. Maybe. In Globus they have a cheese counter that was mind boggling. I decided to walk it out one day. 52 steps. FIFTY FREAKING…

DAYUM!! We are financially well off (compared to the average American anyhow. Romney would still totally snub us and call us "those people" :laugh: ) I have a husband and 2 sons (12 and 15). We spend about $400 total for our entire household for Christmas and more often than not just buy some larger item that we were…

She deactivated her account. I guess she couldn't handle the truth and didn't like looking like an ungrateful idiot who prioritized her want of a fast appointment over the health of 30 million people.

True, but the cost of COBRA for someone wit all those health issues would be astronomical. If she loses her health insurance because of losing a job that alone could bankrupt most people. The average American is 1 month of income away from financial disaster. She'd have to decide whether having health insurance is more…

Plus without Obamacare it is quite likely that she'd reach the lifetime cap for medical expenses at which point her insurance would no longer cover her or they'd decide she costs them too much money and drop her coverage. If either of those happened all of those health issues would then become pre-existing conditions and…

Wrongo. Approximately 26,000 people in the US die every year because of a lack of health care. Someone with insurance who has chest pains calls 911. Someone without it pops an asprin and a Tums and lays down to rest. Guess who doesn't survive?

:huh: :noway: <---- me reading this thread. Wow. Just. Wow.

Don't go back. Don't. It's not worth it. I worked the 1990 census in college and had to go door to door. The manager was ticked because I had a boyfriend so he sent me to a crappy area. DH (then just BF) knew the neighborhood and told me to get a different assignment. I did. I thought the next one was just a working class…

Who are you counting in those "casualties"? Because a heck of a lot less of our guys have died under Obama. They are also better equiped.

Honey? Is that you? I handle all the money. We have only joint accounts for savings, checking, stocks, and mutual funds. We've been married 19 years. When we got engaged my mom went to DH and asked "Are you going to let Bahet (not my real name :wink: ) handle the money?" She was concerned because I am very good with money…

Oh, meant to add that I also have no problem with parents who don't help their kids out financially. I actually have a bigger problem with those who do. It rarely ever works out. More often than not the adult kid doesn't learn to manage thei finances and the parents end up bailing them out over and over and over again. We…

I do I do! FIL's favorite hobby is arguing. We paid to fly them down here to visit before hubby went to Afghanistan. FIL argued about EVERYTHING. I understand where VKaylor is coming from but that's just not always the case. Some examples: FIL was sitting at the table. He asked MIL to make him a sandwich. She did. He then…

bumping for later. :)

Completely and totally incompetent. I thought everyone knew that. 2+2=4 too. Oh, and the sky is blue, bears crap in the woods, and ducks quack.

I wish they would run together on a 3rd party ticket. They'd get my vote.

You think Louisiana was surprised when Katrina suddenly appeared out of perfectly calm waters?

Christie earned some of my respect for the way he's handling things. He is doing his job. He's not grandstanding or playing politics. He's working as a bipartisan to cooperate and work together for the betterment of the people. Sure would be nice if the rest of the GOP saw how much can be accomplished by doing that. I just…

Huh? What righs were lost when women were allowed to vote or blacks were allowed to marry whites? What rights will be lost if gays are allowed to marry? You still have the right to be an *kitten*. You just don't have the means to impose your hatred on others anymore (general you - not addressing any specific person unless…

Is that the Amway stuff?
