Yes, it’s totally a pain to return stuff with coupons, I am very careful in what I buy.

I would gladly use it. Thanks.

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.)

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.

The vacation in Florida for the winter, I have no idea where to order from. Thanks.

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.

Thanks everyone, & for the person that asked, we do not have Netflix. Just pray, pray, pray for my dh.

She is a believer & attends a church that welcomes all.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks everyone. When would you recommend going ahead and getting things rolling by taking the ASVAB?

Hey went and talked to a recruiter today and I have no clue what I need to be prepared for. (I did not go) When should he plan to take the ASVAB if he graduates mid May? What am I going to need besides a transcript? Anything? He's talking Military Police, so we'll see, I know they can try and get you do to other things. Any advice in this would be great. Thanks,

No suggestions??

I am just copying and pasting the sections,sorry, it really didn't come through well, but you get it gist, it's more about the wording anyway. I already had the Administrator section and then added the first and last to cater to a job that I would like to apply for. (Part time in the WIC office so that's why nutrition is emphasized as much as I can.) Anything that you would add, or wording to change?

We've been at our church and with our pastor for 20 years, but things that are issues have never changed (even though some issues have been addressed) and we are feeling like it might be time to move on. It's a small church and there are not a lot of people involved in the church, so this would be VERY hard and noticeable. The lack of organization and care of the overall property and building is becoming a problem and we're just tired of being one of the few families that actually does things. We are not taking the consideration lightly and I know that it takes people like us to run things, but when no one cares that the floors are dirty or that things don't get done, it becomes a real problem. We don't live like that at our house and don't want to see it like that in a church. My husband runs the sound board and he's tired of things being thrown together before the sermon for him to have to deal with, it shows in our service. Sunday was the first time EVER that he was so frustrated over a few things that when I said "have you thought about leaving." He actually said yes, I have. I thought years ago that we should leave, but he did not feel that was what we should do. For him to say that it's BIG and maybe it will just pass and he will realize that we need to stay, I told him we should meet with the pastor, I think he just thinks nothing will change, there is a board, but the pastor sometimes does what he wants anyway. Right now there's plans for a big neighborhood picnic/outreach and with the building/grounds being the mess that it is, dh is really upset that anything is even being planned. I really wish he would say how he felt, be praying for him, the men meet this Saturday and maybe he will. I dunno. The thought of going to another church kind of overwhelms me, but I'm just burnt out.

Refried beans should be done as whole beans and mashed later, they are not safe to mash and then can, as the heat does not penetrate enough. Please anyone that is canning, make sure that you follow safe recipes, people can become extremely ill if things are not properly canned.

Things that are low acid must be pressure canned.

My friend just posted on FB that it is a no go for her children because of reviews. Thankfully I have all teens and they've seen everything. Everyone needs to do what's right for their family though.

hubby mentioned getting one for each bedroom this morning, he's had terrible allergies the past year or so and is wondering if it might help with that. Any suggestions on brands? Thanks!

Thank you, I did some more research and there are various practice areas and even help at the community college.
