24prins, I mostly lurk, but I remember you from when I first started coming to SLN in 2002. Welcome back! I remember that your daughters played basketball -- are they still doing that?

For the record, property taxes in California, at least in the Bay Area, are cheap only for those who have owned their homes for decades. For most people in my age group (late 30s/early 40s), who...
A thousand times yes. DH and I are lucky in that we are even happier & healthier together now than when we married fifteen years ago (and things were good even then). Honestly, though, I can't...
As a former Downton Abbey enthusiast (got tired of the extreme drama), my opinion is that before a show airs, and in general-purpose forums (eg, Facebook), it's courteous to avoid revealing major...
Thanks for posting, redfox! That article was very interesting. The author also wrote a book on the topic, which I've requested from the library.
Remember that this stage does not last forever, and give yourself permission to do what works for now. If you are exhausted with a toddler and a 4-mo old (and who wouldn't be!), then an hour of TV...
Bayfield is a cute, touristy little town that is fun to walk around. And not only can you go to Big Top Chautauqua, there is a lovely ceramics shop called Eckels Pot Shop just on the outskirts of...
Iris Lily, I found that I also have already been tying my shoes correctly! DH, however, has not. He's going to try the "new" way. Btw, DH is the midwesterner in our family. :-)
Zoebird, I could have written your post myself. I agree with you 100%. Most children I know have WAY WAY more than they need already, before Christmas and birthdays roll around. For those who are...
I remember that, too, Lizii! So so glad your son did not leave his children.
Stella, I remember the woman you mentioned who had the two boys and lived in New Mexico. As I recall, she worked at a payday loan place. One of the boys had trouble at school and I think she was...
Stella, I am so sorry to hear about your sister.
Thanks, everyone! Very helpful info. I started a free trial of Moneydance. Will also look into Moneywell and Ynab.
Thanks for the suggestions!
What is the best kind of personal finance software these days?
I started using Quicken (on a Mac) in 1993 and loved it. Updated a few times, and then in 2003 got a PC, so switched to Microsoft...
WJSimon, how has the transition back to public school from homeschooling gone for your daughter? I bet you are glad you homeschooled while you were able...good for you for listening to your heart...
Not to be difficult, but is SoSimple still part of the SL forums? I checked the list of members and didn't see her name. While I understand why WJSimon was upset at being identified, I would hate...
WJSimon, thank you so much for gathering the energy to post. Every time I come to the boards I hope I will see a post from you. I'm so happy to hear that you are still here, breathing. That is a...
We have a HE front-loader that is 7 yrs old. It's a Frigidaire. I do not like it! I don't think it uses enough water to adequately clean the clothes. If my son wets his bed and I put his pajamas...
I have also been thinking of WJSimon and hoping she is OK.
