I would like to respectfully say that the percentage of people who double dip is more than you could ever imagine, especially in administrative positions. One percent is nowhere close at least not in the public system that I worked and I am not just guessing.

Thanks for clearing that up. Actually my hubby had mentioned that he knew someone who had a used aluminum boat and he was going to check into that. It was my idea to get a new one because every time he buys a used boat from someone, it leaks (and he's back to sealants). At this time we have...

Thank you Brat. I appreciate the info.

I think you are right about this. She has two situations occur that I would normally be Johnny on the spot with an open wallet. Honesty, I had to stop myself from giving her money. Especially when she started on "When something like this happens, you know who your real friends are."

I walked this morning with my husband and related to him what was going on. He did advise me to leave her alone and that he had been telling me that. He told when she calls (and she will and has) to tell her if she can't speak to me with any kind of human courtesy to just not call back. I think...

Two happy campers here. I wanted to wait until later to when I had more time to post but I could not wait. I took your advice. I took hubby on a nice long walk this morning. (Thankfully the sidewalks are not as snow covered as it has been). I waited until we had both reached a nice mellow...

I could not have said it better. I realize the sense of loss my family would feel if something were to happen to me and feel a certain sense of responsible to take care of myself.

I could not understand either how we got from insurance to tithing. But I think her point was that if I had tithed, I would not have been in shape to not need insurance. I don't know. I'm just guessing. I think it really is about the tithing in some way. She seemed so bitter and angry.

I know without a doubt she is under a lot of stress which is why I have put up with so much shocking rudeness within the past few months. She has explained and apologized on each occasion and then turn around and do something else hurtful. Her family and friends do not hesitate to tell her...

This not a religious thread and not intended to debate tithing. It’s too exhausting and controversial. Anyway, a friend said she was looking to buy life insurance for herself because she wanted to provide for her son. She asked me who I was with and I told her I did not have life...

Yes. Can't wait to get started. I bought a few Spanish tapes but have not listened yet. I'm told that the internet is good learning source also.

That's kind of how he feels. He says that you got to go some way. He feels that way about himself but when it comes to me, he acts like an over protective father.

Thanks. That is really helpful info. I did ask him what the expense would be and he said it would be no other expense than what he is paying now. But I don't think he knows and I know for a fact that he has not asked my BIL. I kind of get the feeling it's more than my husband thinks. I...

That is my feelings exactly about living recklessly and it is through arrogance on my husband's part. I tell him all the time, if he hurts himself being reckless, he going to find himself in a nursing home because I'm not taking care of him. He just laughs and does not believe me. It's not...

Thank you, thank you. I've gotten some good info and advice. Though it is kind of scary hearing about the maintenance. I'm going to copy a lot of the info and let my hubby read it. I think he may think twice about his because he's just not the maintenance type of person. Although I...
