with my husband always trying to help out one of "best buddies."  I went through this twice, with two different useless house guests.  The second time, I told hubby to go and take his "friend" with him.  After he had a little time to think it over, he realized that home and his family were lot more appealing.  Your husband will come around, especially if his family is supporting you.  Just go on with your life and let him think it over.  One word of advice, and this is what we did, when my husband wanted to come back home, we made an agreement NO MORE HOUSE GUESTS unless it was immediate family in a dire emergency, and then there would be a time limit set when they came to stay and it would be enforced.  Be strong and Good Luck!

Get a new one or else clean it out with a vacuum or one of this spray cans for keyboards. When my keys start sticking especially the spacer bar, it's usually a sign that it's ready to be replaced.

It's amazing how much junk you find between the keys. Slide a little business card through your keys and see what you come up with. LOL

This is probably one of the HARDEST things you'll ever do in your life, but YOU'RE WORTH IT and so is your family!!!

How wonderful for you!  It's so nice to hear about someone who isn't already rich winning like that.  I agree with the other posters about not going crazy spending, but do enjoy yourself.  Life is short, so have fun!  Oh, I would probably quit the job.  Explain your reason and I bet they'll wish you the best. 

WOOHOO!

I emailed out over 137 resumes in one weekend and got a job from those.  There is a better result when you send out lots of resumes, I think.

Congrats!  So excited for you!

how did you get so lucky to find a man that can actually voice his appreciation of you to you!!???  there aren't many out there like that.
