  • I had to find gloves for my husband a few weeks ago. He works outside late at night. I went to Lowes (hardware store) and found some West Chester gloves for him. They're insulated and great! You can find them over by the snow blowers and shovels. Home depot (another hardware store) does not stock them (save yourself the…
  • We're in Haskell. Upper Passaic County.
  • My Nana eloped and had a good marriage. My hubby and I didn't elope, but we kept it quick, small and sweet. In the middle of a freak snow storm, we said our vows, in front of my mom, dad and town mayor. Then, we crossed the street for a nice meal and an awesome cake that my mom made us. That freak snow storm made the day…

  • Age is a number. My husband is 13.5 years my senior and we're doing well. I say go for it and if the chemistry is there, keep it.
  • Until recently I thought I had a nice mother in law. Apparently, she hates my guts now and is trying to get between us. She yelled at my hubby something horrible for getting me pregnant last year and then told him how happy she was that the baby died because now it can't be an additional burden on him. She also goes on and…
  • My biggest pet peeve is the person who shows up late to class and then 'squeezes' herself in right on top of me. Oh and she also needs to take up the space of 3 people. One gal almost got punched multiple times in my last class because I was concentrating on the moves and not watching her.
  • I haven't seen too many girls out yet...it's a little too cold for them to be out and selling here. When they come around, I buy some for my Dad and my lil brother (currently serving overseas in Japan with the USMC). I may give in and get a box for our house, but between my kids and hubby, 1 box lasts about 5 minutes.
  • $16/month at Lucille Roberts Fair Lawn, gold status. Includes all classes and I can go to just about any other Lucille Roberts if I want.
  • I have 2 living (ages 5 and 6) and 2 angels (3/03 & 12/12).
  • I use cans of veggies when my kids hide my weights. Weight is weight, doesn't matter what you're holding in your hands.
  • Stop taking that one and try another brand. I had the same problem with the Centrum vitamins. I switched to a generic and now I'm fine.
  • I walked in and the manager asked me if I was my mother's daughter. Told him yes, and he said that I could start the next day. No other questions asked. That was 8.5 years ago and I'm still here.
  • For the fresh stuff, not really. I find them to be a tad overpriced, but when they mark down their meats, they mark them down to like $.35/lb (even the boneless skinless chicken). Most of their other bulk stuff is decently priced and their coupon policy is really nice. I've gotten a lot of my son's snacks and drinks for…

  • If my husband knocks my foot again, I'm gonna shove said foot where he doesn't like it. (I was a tad bit grumpy this morning, not sure why though.)
  • I've been an emergency medical technician-basic for 12 years now. 319 was my first handle after I became an EMT.
  • I refuse to call myself an extreme couponer because of the show. It gives all couponers such a bad name and rep. Blatant coupon abuse and misuse and the show still goes on! I do coupon a lot for mostly non food things. It's nice to not have to worry about certain items every week or every month. And I love having things on…
  • I don't know if it's helping me lose weight per se, but the more water I drink, the better I feel and the less crud I drink and eat.
  • I'll be honest, I didn't care about my weight until recently. It didn't matter to me because my husband likes me no matter how I am (and he's a big butt guy too), and I'm Italian. My Mom and Nana used to show me pictures of my ancestors and they were all hefty, as they should have been/should be (according to my rail thin…
  • Been there, done this, got hit by a car by my ex for walking away from him. My advise, get out and get out now. Take the kids and call the police to file a report against him. The police report will be a big help to you later on when you go for custody. Also, sit down and write down everything he's done and when. I know…
  • The horrible tachycardia that I was having did me in. It was so hard to sleep every night because of it and I was worried that I wouldn't wake up. So, I got my but into gear and just losing the first little bit helped out so much.
  • You need to stand up to him and tell him flat out that if he wants a beer after work then he can have one from the 6 pack you have in the fridge. If that doesn't work, do what I did to my ex-boyfriend and one of my former in-laws. Call PD and tell them that every day around a certain time, the same guy goes to a certain…
  • The longest journey starts with the first step.
  • I'm an EMT and dispatcher and I work for a nursing home. I refuse the shot every year, signing the religious conviction thing. IMO, the flu shot is a crap shoot. It may or may not protect you against a strain or two of the flu that might be around this year. If you want to protect your patients, wash your hands and take…
  • I just got done reading Fit for Life Not Fat For Life and I'm making the transition to a mostly raw diet. I'm probably nearing 50/50 now. Night time seems to be a weakness of mine, but I'm sure it'll get better in time. I've already noticed a big difference in my sleep quality and my energy.
  • The no frills gyms in my little corner of NJ are about $10-$20 a month. This does not include any of their classes. The parent friendly gyms (with a room for the kids) start at $40ish. The really nice ones with classes and everything included cost over $60 with some just under $100.
  • Not NJ (and yes I live there, grumble grumble). SC is nice, but if you're worried about being accepted then head towards the bigger cities. I have family and friends in SC and they can't stop talking about how nice and affordable it is. Personally though, I'm a snow girl and I would love to move back to central PA. It's so…
  • Men just don't get it. Just banning my hubby from the market saved us almost 50%. And nice deals, btw.
  • Only buy meats when they're at their rock bottom prices. Case in point, last week, nice chicken sale, so my freezer is full of it and it'll last us about a month or so. Also for the veggies and all, hit up your local farmers. I found a nice farmer's market near me and I pick up good veggies and fruits cheap and on sale.…
  • lots of water and eat some fruit
  • I'm American and my hubby is Peruvian. Sometimes we get stares but we shrug it off. At the beginning of our relationship, I got pulled aside a lot because people wanted to know if we were a real couple or only looked like one to get his papers. (We're a real couple btw, he did the immigration stuff on his own.) When our…
