Use those dish washing pods and bleach....fill up the tub past the jets, close off the jets then turn jets on. They jets get nice and clean! I use between 6-8 dish washing pods and quite a bit of...

Redfox,

I think no matter how old the child is seems to always sway toward their mother, no matter how unhealthy the relationship may be. I've seen this time and again that the mother will smear...

Are you saying you find your Asperger daughter unable to follow a conversation appropriately? Sounds a lot like my Asperger son. We will be talking about one thing and he will just interrupt or...

Sylvia,

i hear ya! With summer off you want to have a little fun money. I can relate to that! I love the idea of doing lots of fun and free things during the summer. Quite a few people have...

Socks! My eldest son has huge feet! I have tried big and tall stores and their socks, but to no avail. He needs extra wide socks at calf and foot.

I have to buy him special socks at $9.99 EACH...

Just got home from a benefit some friends and I helped put together. It was for a friend with MS. I was so thankful we were able to help a friend in need get a stairlift and hopefully other...

My kids wear sweatpants a lot! I like them because my two youngest can share them, whereas in jeans/khakis they wear different sizes. Anyhow, the seams come loose, the pockets get torn so I mend...

LilyB I taught myself to knit about two years ago. What do you make? Sweaters, socks?

I have one simple baby blanket pattern that I've been making....it's my trademark :~) I never get the...

I got some of my linen organized from my list. I do so much laundry and ironing weekly! I could do several loads a day and still not be laundry free. It makes me anxious...that huge pile taunting...

i love that idea, Fidgie! However, I think if you do start the thread I will work on the many unfinished household tasks I never finish! It would be a great challenge to me! Start the thread and...

Hi, gang! :D

Now...

Wow, beautiful! Love the walrus!

Jilly,

i totally get it. I'm much the same way, as is my mother.

As for my mom and myself i often wonder if we have Asperger's syndrome. A light version compared to my sons, but it could...

Yum! I'd love them! :D

I find myself praying at night in bed. Not the most formal, but I feel that's when I can relax. I also try to pray The Divine Mercy at 3pm when I am able, along with the meditations of the rosary....

Tradd,

i think it was classy of you to acknowledge the person in the hospital with flowers, card with a message wishing them health. You can't help who you are related to, or control how they...

((Hugs)). I'm so sorry you are going through this, frugalone. I wish there was something I could do or say that would help you. All I can do is give you support and friendship. Life is so hard...
