You run Blessing Box. It's the reason you chose to leave teaching... it's what you do, and part of who you are. Have you looked into becoming a 501(c)3? If people could claim their donations, more people may be willing to donate.

I always love to hear about others playing Zombicide! My husband created his own scenario for a convention we attended, which he ran as part of their scheduled games. When my character searched a room, she found a fire axe and an engagement ring. <3

I'm glad you aren't going to see Mr. Car again. The first time he meets you in person, and he's pointing out flaws in your appearance. That's one of those things that's not going to improve with more dates, he would just get more critical of various things as time went on. Toss in the...

As I said in my last post, earlier this afternoon... Troop has brought up the topic of opening our relationship again, and we've discussed it. One thing that he has always made sure to tell me is that he loves ME, he is married to ME, he has children with ME, and he will always, always, be...

So, I haven't updated here in ages... I'll update the last few years in bullet form, I think. Sunny left on schedule. Troop moved in with me in early March 2015 Sunny and Troop ended things amicably in spring/summer 2015 Troop proposed in summer 2015 Got married in spring 2016 Reactivated my...

I hope your daughter's recovery goes smoothly, and that you start feeling like yourself again soon. Was this by chance the game that you were looking for on Amazon and couldn't find? I've played it several times, I really enjoy it. Tasty Minstrel Games Colosseum Board Game...

Regarding changing the locks on the new house, depending on the type of locks that are currently on the house you may not have to spend a bunch of money to replace them. I didn't realize that when I bought my house, but my locks are Kwikset SmartKeys. You can buy a kit at Lowe's or Home Depot or...

A note on the trim and removing the carpet... you may end up deciding to remove the trim and reinstall it (or just buy new trim). We are putting in new flooring, and there is a visible gap between the bottom of the trim and the floor that was beneath the carpet in the room that still has trim...

But... you aren't a couple with Sam. He's shown he has ZERO respect for you. Why do you have so little respect for yourself, that you allow him to treat you this way and actively seek him out so he can continue to treat you so poorly?

Why do you want to pursue a friendship with someone that has little-to-no respect for you as a person, let alone as a friend? I don't think I've commented on your blog before, but this sounds SO familiar to me. I insisted on trying to stay friends with someone after we broke up, because, like...

Depending on what part of Indiana, I have a lender (and a realtor - not the same person!) that I HIGHLY recommend. I worked with her when I bought my house, and I've referred a few friends to her since then. :) I'm glad to see that you are giving yourself time to grieve and be sad, and that...

I am so sorry that things did not work out the way you had hoped. But what you said above, is so true. When I ended things with my ex-fiance three years ago, I kept telling myself the same thing. He had combat-related PTSD, was an alcoholic, and was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic before I...

I am so sorry. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I think it's because blood attracts sharks, and for some women, cramps can feel like they are being attacked by a shark. My coworkers and I (team of females) refer to it as looking at changing insurance companies (because Aunt Flo = Flo from Progressive, and we have a coworker named Flo so it...

Ouch, your new diet is even more restricted than mine! I'm allergic to dairy, soy, yeast, beef, and banana. I've found goat milk and goat cheese to be a reasonable dairy alternative. Bison meat is good, but it is expensive. Maybe see if there are any bison ranches in your area that direct sell...
