My heart goes out to you, your friends and their family. It is so very hard on the family & friends of those who get terminal cancer. I am so sorry. If your friend choses to not continue chemo, Hospice can be such a blessing. My spouse did weekly chemo for over 7 months and then 3 treatments 3...

Thank you all for your condolences, thoughts and warm wishes. We were fortunate to have hospice come in the past 5 weeks so he was able to be at home. It is a blessing that he is out of pain and in peace now. Cancer is a horrible disease. He had prostate cancer that wasn't caught until it was...

Stories like this irk me to no end!!!! It is national news when a person that earned $70,000 a year ends up at the food bank and does not qualify for food stamps. It is every day life when my minimum wage co-workers end up at the food bank regualarly even with food stamps. I tend to look at...

Too funny!!! My full blooded Italian father-in-law's crowning moment was showing this German mutt how to make pasta sauce "correctly." Little did he know that I still prefer the sauce my dear little Oakie Mom taught me how to make

A topic dear to my heart!!!! This year we tried some new things - cabbage, brussel sprouts, beets, and green onions. The old tried & true included zucchini, tomatoes - cherry & beefsteak, snow peas, green beans, bell peppers, hot peppers, cantaloupe and yellow squash. Unfortunately due to the...

Thank you for your help!!!! I do feel better now. I've been on a fairly strict 5,000 mile oil change interval with this car. The oil change today was closer to 7,500.

Due to health issues my husband can no longer change to oil in my car. Today I decided to get the oil changed on my way home from work. Fortunately I called my husband before I went to the local quick oil change shop. I found out that I use synthetic oil in it - 2003 Mazda Protoge with 80,000...

I am sorry for your loss. It is not easy to face cancer and/or death at any age. But, I know that it is difficult to face it so young. My Dad Tony (Bio-T) passed away as many of you know in January after a 7 month battle with lung cancer. It was extremely difficult on my daughter - now 17 - to...
