@GOINSTD12 asked for help or advice - she stated: How do I get him to open up about this stuff? He seems obsessed with installing security cameras (which is funny because we can't even lock our front door!) and keeps buying more and more stuff (most of which I hate) instead of saving his money. And it is HIS money as far…

@Goinstd - Tracy - I feel so hearsick for you my dear, what a rough time. Honey, you much consider, one hard concept, and ask your husbands doctor this, what is his mental capacity as far as his handling your money and finances; You may need to hurry and get an attorney and stop his spending your money ASAP. Nuff said.…

@Laurie - many prayers for the 3 most important men in your life tonight. I've been praying for your dad for a long time. I'm sorry to hear things have changed this week.

@Niki - were you a pathologist in a former life because your dissection of your bread is so very detailed I love reading about it. You bring succcch interest with your details. What did the pastors bread look like? I'm suspicious of his starter dough, thinking its the fault and not what your're doing, but honestly, I…

@Skinny - I forget how muscular you are, having transformed yourself into a top flight runner (20K) and thanks for your excellent explanation.

@Karen - I see what your doiing - I did look all thru you post and saw you were 6/7 all the time. Its the part where you say "If I burn a bunch of calories working out, I can eat more." and I thought that was more for maintenance. Now, if you were to burn those calories and not eat more, what would happen? Re that ornament…

@jt - Oh dear - sorry HHC did not work out for you - working with your dad as a putty girl sounds like you could make it a fun job, but wear a mask, dear, or you'll have breathing issues in 10 years....and one tip - at 1:45pm - eat a big dose of straight protein ....that has helped me a lot. I have been eating (and I know…

@Laurie - advice from me -As soon as you said poet I remembered a fellow that we started writing haiku back and forth to each other and he was also an excellent companion for going to art museums as well. Don't find guys like that often. But compliments? The only thing he complimented me on was the length of my ear lobes!…

Hey, there everyone! Haven't seen you in about 2 weeks and a few days and I do apologize for not sending word - but that I can blame on my sister.

Excuse me but there's 20 posts to read and comment on and I don't know what time amount I have at the moment so I'm gonna talk about my progress and surprise today.

Well ladies - regarding the bath mats I'm enjoying walking on them so much I want to carpet my kitchen with them! And these were NOT the super plush ones I've seen. I looked for 100% cotton so I can wash them , and bought 2 matching as they get set up in a T pattern when I shower - there's carpeting I need to protect and I…
