  1. Yes, it’s totally a pain to return stuff with coupons, I am very careful in what I buy.
  2. By Sunday I spoke with her again & told her it wasn’t something that I could keep hidden, as it was tearing me up & she said that I could tell him, but that she wasn’t going to be the one to. She knew how he would react, hence why it’s taken over 6 years. My dd is usually not awake when dh leaves, but Wednesday- Friday she was up & sitting on the couch & he didn’t say 2 words to her any day & yesterday we were visiting with the neighbor & though he made comments regarding things we were talking about, he still really didn’t directly talk to her, other than telling her what good is a job that only lasts 3 months. (She’s finishing up Accounting major & has a 2nd interview for a tax season position. She wants to start on her Masters right away & will have 3 months if school paid, so it makes sense to me.)

  4. After a week my dh hasn’t directly spoken to our daughter, I know he spoke with our pastor Monday evening & today after church is the first time we’ve even spoken about things. Our pastor said he’s willing to meet with us (I think he meant as a family.) My dh said to me on the way home that we need to talk to dd at some point (basically so he can preach to her & tell her she needs to repent & that she’s not making the right choice) but he said we need to be united, which we aren’t. I’ve only said we just need to love her & pray for her. I really don’t know what I am supposed to do other than pray. I told dd that dh plans to talk to her at some point. Life is so messy. Please keep praying for us, he will never be supportive, I think having a relationship is going to take a miracle even. I plan to have one with her no matter what.
  5. The vacation in Florida for the winter, I have no idea where to order from. Thanks.
  6. I believe main things will be hard wired & I would expect to spend at least $4-500. I would make a trip to Best Buy & talk to them. Do you already have a tuner? I have no idea if it’s necessary, but I know we have one.
  7. Thanks everyone, & for the person that asked, we do not have Netflix. Just pray, pray, pray for my dh.
  8. She is a believer & attends a church that welcomes all.
  9. I was blindsided and shocked(she seriously hid it very well and is a great actor) she didn't do it in a nice "mom, I need to talk to you about something" way either, she just started spewing words and oh by the way "I'm a lesbian." Take that and my first response was "we aren't telling your dad until you move out." Ultimately though after being a wreck the rest of the day and on into Sunday, I told her he had to know as well. I told him Sunday evening after we got done with a "beer & Hymns" at the local taproom, I told him that she didn't want him to know, (because she really didn't) and that she was afraid we would kick her out. His first response was "geesh" and he said we would never kick her out and then we prayed and when we prayed his said we failed as parents, which I totally DO NOT believe. I'm sure in his mind he thinks that this is a "choice" that she's made, she has several friends that are gay that she hangs out with and he probably thinks they are the reason as well. I know all of that is false. I have one close friend that I have told and yesterday was the first day that I did not cry. I guess the reason I need to share this more is to ask for prayer for my family and definitely for my husband. We haven't spoken of it since and he's not said a word to her (which is not that uncommon, he is gone all day long and she's usually sleeping when he leaves and then he just comes home and vegs for the rest of the night.) She currently lives at home and will finish her bachelors here in about 2 months and will continue on her masters and live at home until she finds a full time job that she can support herself and move out. We are a very conservative Christian family and I know the thought of all of this is very hard for him, he does have a lesbian cousin and I have a cousin that is married to his partner, but when we got invited to his wedding my husband wanted to send a letter to him as to why it was wrong. (over my dead body) Anyway, please be praying for my family and if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it. I love my daughter with all of my heart no matter what and do not want the relationship to be ruined.
  10. Ok, thanks, I'm going to skip the objective. I read more last night to do that as well. I do have a degree and am skilled in MS Office, the only thing I don't really have is the PHR certification. I hate resume writing!
  11. This! I find nothing wrong with going the GED route, especially if he is seriously interested in pursuing personal training. I've known several homeschoolers that have chosen that route and done just fine for themselves.
  12. I drink wine and my neighbor and I will split a bottle probably 1-2 nights during the week and drink 2-3 bottles over the weekend. We don't buy really expensive wine, usually Fish Eye with runs about $13.99 for the box or about $5-6 a bottle if we buy bottles or Aldi or Walmart cheap wine. Between dh & I we easily spend $100-$200 a month on alcohol
  13. First I am wanting to change careers so how would you word all of this or punctuate? and do I put objective? career summary? or something else? Any help would be appreciated. This is what they are looking for: Associates degree required Proficient in the use of MS Office programs Strong computer skills Time management skills Customer/Client Service Focus Ethical Conduct Personal Effectiveness/Credibility Teamwork/Cooperation 2 years of human resources experience or in a similar field Can work well under pressure PHR certification is a plus I came up with: Dedicated team player with proven time management and computer skills seeking an opportunity to use my education and eclectic background to start a career in human resources.
  14. I used this company last year for my ds and was very pleased with it, he learned a lot in just a short time and I plan to have him take classes this coming winter as well. He's working right now and likely will into October, so I'm going to wait. He's a senior now and just needed some reassurance in his writing.
