head on your shoulders.  Your little one is lucky to have you.  I don't wish ill on anyone and hope I didn't come across as sounding as though single parents don't deserve the EIC.  They certainly do.  Public assistance is another story though and that's why I distinguished between the 2 in my statement.  Too many get it that shouldn't.

It's not stressful to have the savings; for me, it's stressful getting it in there.  We also do a lot of pre-tax savings, but I still like a refund.  Thanks for the well wishes.  We're hoping to start rebuilding this month.  Houses cost a lot more now to build than they did 10 years ago and we've got 2 kids more than we had then, too.

no one wanted to hire him.  He was a steel mill worker that was laid off when the mill sold to China.  I was in 8th grade.  I remember he went to a temp agency and they found him quite a few jobs. 

Can you call your Dept. of Labor and ask if there are temp agencies or anyone who has posted work there?

God Bless you and good luck...

We have a Corian-type (manmade, not granite or quartz) countertop and we have tried just about everything, including what the manufacturer recommends and even car polish. Our house is only a little over a year old, but the countertops are already starting to look a little scratched and dull.

I love the color - it is a deep brick red - but if I had it to do over again, I would get a lighter color. This dark color shows every little scratch.

Any suggestions?

How long do you bake the muffins and at what oven temp?  These sound wonderful & so much easier than making pumpkin bread.   Thanks!

I had a hankerin for a coconut a few weeks ago so I bought one.  Hadn't had one since I was a kid.  I drilled the holes in the 'eyes' and drank the coconut juice inside.  Then I pryed out the meat, meticulously peeled the brown junk off it with a knife, and ate a whole bunch.  Okay, my husband and I both at the whole thing in one sitting it was sooooo yummy!  The next day...well, all I'm gonna say is that I am thankful we have 2 bathrooms and were fully stocked on TP.  We weren't sick mind you, just incredibly cleaned out.  The coconut juice, which only I drank, acted like a diuretic and I think I peed every hour on the hour--and incredible amount each time at that. 

I have chronic constipation too because I hate to drink water.  I tend to stay borderline dehydrated myself.  The chemical laxatives just plain wreak havoc and are very painful and inconvenient to put it nicely.  I'd go with better diet, water, and fruits before I'd go with pills if at all possible.  Hope she feels better soon!

were in, the 8-year-old was mouthing off the 11-year-old.  I said "That's enough."  He continued to mouth and my 11-year-old stopped.  He then called his 11-year-old brother "A big fat wussy."  I told him again to stop or he would be on timeout.  My 11-year-old was walking away.  My 8-year-old then started after him and pushed him as hard as he could.  He's about the same size as my 11-year-old. 

I don't tolerate the instigating on either end.  But when I said to stop, it should have stopped.  My 8-year-old refused to stop.  He then escalated it to something physical, which is why he ended up on the chair.  I've told my kids time-and-time again to tell me if someone's doing something to aggravate them and they won't stop after they've been told.  They know that I will stop it and the one doing the picking will be punished.

I try very hard to dole out my punishments evenly, but in this case, he should have stopped when I told him to.  I gave him 2 chances to stop and he still didn't.  The pain he inflicted on my 11-year-old was enough punishment.  He left a large red area on his thigh and up the side of his back from being pushed into the wall/table and landing on the floor. 

I lie, I covet, I am jealous, I sometimes swear when I am alone, I have stolen when I was younger, I have anger and lash out, I am moody, I am materialistic, I feel hatred sometimes, I have used God's name in vein, I have had lustful thoughts.... the list goes on and on.  I am a sinner. 

But thankfully for me, what separates me from my sin is Jesus and his death.  Since I took his gift of salvation, I am free of my sin.  I can be forgiven, it doesnt all stay on top of me.  I will be sinless when I stand before God.  So everyone sins and telling someone they have sinned is not being judgmental because you are also a sinner.  Being judgmental would be pointing out someone's sin and thinking you were better than they are.  As Christians we are supposed to tell others about God and what he expects, his love, his rules and all of that. You dont just preach a message of love and tolerance or you are only giving half the story.  There is no accountability in that.

That's what my husband did for both our computers, although I made him unhook one of mine because the two fans were so loud when the computer was on that I had a hard time transcribing.

Hopefully they have quieter fans now....

up doing for the same reason.  I talked to my insurance company and he made me promise that I would go to the ER and tell them that I was in a mentally critical condition.  They did give me anti-depressants although it does take a while for the full affect. At least you'll have something on board in the meantime.  You should also be able to go to your PCP and get the same results.  Whatever you do, go see a doctor.  Either your PCP or go to the ER.  They do understand and will help. 

You will continue to be in my prayers.
