I tried to respond to an old thread on home alarm systems but it was too old. We now need a cellular based system and ADT will increase our monthly rate from $35 to $50/mo and also charge for additional installation. Simplisafe looks like a decent deal on their website and there is...

I haven't been on a road trip since I was a child going out to the Midwest in a Winnebago. I would love some ideas about itineraries for maybe a 2 week trip in early fall. I live in the Seattle area, so could leave from there, or would be open to flying to another area and renting a car. I...

I'm not sure where to put this. This is motivated by DH being a butthead over the last 6 months or so. My 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up next month, so for my first 37 years I was single. We have no children. No, there are no plans for divorce right now, but I did threaten, not an...

I am 47, have a 20% service connected disability and live in an area with a VA hospital and a contracted VA clinic within 5 miles of my house. I have never received any healthcare through the VA since I have always had employer based health insurance. Now that I am on a high deductible plan...

We are looking at a trip next September flying Icelandair. While my first choice is always Munich, I do not want to go to Oktoberfest so we will choose different cities. Icelandair also flies into Frankfurt and Hamburg. I have always wanted to go to Luebeck so I was thinking of flying into...

I quit my job today. It wasn't the way I planned it, but my time line kept getting shorter and shorter. First I wanted to work until next September, then April, then January, then November of this year. I just couldn't do it. A wise former coworker once commented "nurses can take "b***h to a...

Hello! I have been following this forum off and on for several years. DH and I actually did a "trial" ER 7 years ago but we got scared and went back to work. In retrospect we really weren't ready then and it was for the best. Fast forward 7 years and we think it's time. Here are the stats: Me...
