- I've had so many bad things happen in the last few weeks - I feel cursed. Haven't had a working shower in 8 wks, (even tho I have 2), one working toilet (even tho I have 3), out of 4 sinks only 1 without some kind of problem - and none are clogged....
- I have some questions about social security. I tried looking online - but it didn't exactly give me the answers. I thought I knew the answers - but now I'm not sure.I am currently getting social security benefits for my daughter and know that they...
- I had to take my dog Max to the vet yesterday for follow up after an infection. She said he appears to be suffering from anxiety and stress. The vet two weeks ago (when my son took him for the first appointment) said he was possibly suffering from...
- I went on a cruise with my sister - it was wonderful. Everywhere I looked, however, I saw couples and families and that was hard. For years every one told my husband and I that we needed to take a cruise - but figured we'd always do it "later" -...
- After reading about another member being somewhat "taken in" (maybe that's not the right words) I wanted to update my own comments.I always thought I was the last person to be taken advantage of by a scam - but 8 months ago I was. I wasn't in great...
- It has been 14 months since my husband died. Many of my former friends apparently don't seem to want me around and months after he died I looked online for widows support groups/activities - but I don't recall finding a lot. (I do have a few other...
- My daughter has a friend (17 years old) who committed suicide yesterday - hung himself at home. His mother found him. To make things even worse - my dtr said last time she was at the house the mother had been crying. Apparently his other brother...
- I was just watching the new show on Oprah Winfrey's network called Miracle Detectives. They talked to a widow of a man killed on 9/11 in the Twin Towers who has written a book called Messages. After receiving "signs" from her husband she found...
- Most of us probably have good days and bad days. Yesterday (and today) have been bad days. The fact that I am overwhelmed with work and endless problems hasn't helped.So - I was feeling pretty bad yesterday and I went on the internet to look at...
- I was looking forward to xmas break - off of work for 2 weeks - decorating the house - hoping the kids would be happy about the new TV I was going to get - then - what a disaster. Flat tires with no spare at midnight - alone - car accident in one...
- Just read something online that I didn't know. For the first two years after a spouse death you can file as a "Qualifying Widower" if you are caring for a dependent for more than 1/2 the year. These taxes are at the same rate as a Joint Filer. It...
- I've heard people say and write that reaching the anniversary of their loved ones death was a hard day - but for me (tomorrow is the day) - I was going to make it like any other day. But as I left work tonight, I couldn't help but think about one...
- December 1st it will be one year since my husband died - seems hard to believe. Yesterday I got a xmas card in the mail from a Long Lost Friend - I say long lost because I haven't spoken to her in over 1 year. So - in the xmas card she wrote, "I...
- I teacher US history to bilingual high school students with a cognitive disability. We have recently been learning about the Pilgrims and here are some things I never knew - The English distrusted water (for both drinking and bathing - thought it...
- A 20 year old marine from my hometown area was buried yesterday. He had only been in Afghanistan for one month and left behind a wife and baby. The marines provided the motorcade, etc. from the airport to the cemetary. I was just reading the...
