Re: Where should we be? No man's land?

Re: Soooo Miserable here!

I had to go through this recently for my medical bills when me and OH separated.

Re: I can't believe

I'm on a 12 step prog. Just got a new job, horses leave on the 19th and I'm trying to save.

Re: I wonder what the future holds....

Re the phone calls. I have VOIP (Lingo) It's about $20 a month for unlimited calling to the UK. It's so advanced you can have a UK number so that when people call you it's a local call charge.

Re: I wonder what the future holds....
