Graciously accepts!

Tink, my oldest is 31 and has been living at home with his dad and me. He is supposed to be moving out soon though. He works, makes a fairly decent salary but it is much easier to live with us rent, utility free. Once he is on his own he won't have the money to play like he wants to. You know go out to restaurants, the movies, shopping, etc. The stuff hubby and I can't afford because we are paying for a mortgage and utilities.

To be honest I just moved out of my parents house a couple of years ago. So in retrospect I have never truly be on my own. I went from my parents house to my husbands, and then back to my parents after the divorce.

What's sad is every year I make more money and every year I find myself in this same pickle as the year before.

It's time to stop this vicious cycle.


I've had to live with family members before. I never got to live rent free though. Unless your wages are going up at the same rate or better than inflation, you'll have financial struggles.

I have to say I have received a raise every year and while they haven't been substantial they haven't been meager either. Make sense?

I emailed my life group leaders and she replied last night. She's going to talk to her husband but she's pretty sure they'll be able to help so that's good.

This is going to be very hard as I'm going to have to take a look at my life and how I live and I'm sure there are going to be some things that I'll be smacked around from...figuratively speaking.

I'm ready though...I'm ready for some change and I'm ready to actually have something to show for this amazing job G-d has blessed me with.

And funny thing. When she emails us sometimes it sounds like a mama bear scolding her cubs so I've started calling them Mama and Papa Bear. When she emailed me she called me "little bear". That's so cute.

Inflation typically is about 3% per year. So, if your pay raises are less than that (unless there's a cost-of-living adjustment) then you're losing ground against inflation.

It's rather common everywhere...that doesn't mean I'm ready to jump back on that bandwagon.

I'll settle for eating Mac & cheese and PB&J before I move back in with my parents. *shudders*

I would love to move out. Especially on a bus line and I would get myself a doggie.

Oooh! I want a doggie too! I want a choodle. They're adorable. Part poodle, part chihuahua. I want two of them; a boy and a girl, both fixed. Then I can put bows in their ears; pink for the girl and blue for the boy.

I'll name them Fred and Ginger or James and Lily. Haven't decided yet.

FG thinks I'm positively insane but I think it's adorable.

Oh! And I'll get a handbag to carry them around in.

LOL!

My parents have a needy dog but it's well behaved so I don't mind.

My sister's dog only likes her but its not mean. My grandmas dog was attached to her and growled at everyone else.

I'd like a dog but I rent and I'd need to not commute in order to have a dog, plus dogs in apartments bark a lot due to all the different people.

I couldn't help but giggle.

#1

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he didn't buy her a gift. When she asked him why, he replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....

#2

My wife walked into the den & asked "What's on the TV?" I replied "Dust".

And that's how the fight started.....

#3

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'

And that's how the fight started.....

#4

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale.

And that's how the fight started.....

#5

I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?' It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. 'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said. So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'

And that's how the fight started....

#6

My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying 'Yes.' So I said, 'Then I'd like to phone a friend.' And that's how the fight started....

#7

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive. So, I took her to a gas station.

And that's how the fight started.....

#8

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.

And that's how the fight started.....

#9

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' says my wife. 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

And that's how the fight started.....

#10

I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it. He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!!!' So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?'

And that's how the fight started.....

#11

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. 'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.' He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?' 'Nah, she can order for herself.'

And that's how the fight started.....

Wife: "You never compliment me anymore."

Husband: " For a big girl, you don't sweat much."

Wife: Honey, does this dress make me look fat?

Husband: No honey...it's not the dress.



And that's how the fight started.....

So we're studying Song of Solomon now in life group. It's going very well minus a few of the immature giggling of people when he talks about sex.

Okay...so sorry I got tickled about something. *sigh* I'm just one of the few in there to have actually experienced, and enjoyed sex so some things strike me as funny.

One thing I learned though was how important a woman's head was to her husband. The speak, Tommy Nelson, talked about how it was completely inappropriate for a man to touch the head of another man's wife. Interesting. I did not know this.

So I've been reading about head covering, conviction about covering the head and stuff like that.

G-d and I are talking about it and I think I have a direction but will have to wait until I married to see how it works...LOL

I can honestly say that as a single woman I do not feel convicted to cover my head while in public or church.

But you aren't married so it's okay.

And he was referring to married women.
