First Wives Club

I must say that Dr. Phil and Robin are such a good team when it comes to helping others out. What they did for these women, by doing the group therapy and role playing too, that is awesome. I praise the women for being a part of it.  After reading what each one of them went through, you talk about Hell. My goodness. My heart just broke when I read about what happened to each one of them. Like Dr. Phil and Robin said, you are worth so much more.

MR. MOOCH

Whoa! I am shocked at what I just read. Whether engaged or married, you both do things to help each other out. Its not a one way street, as my mother puts it, its a two way street. 

I feel sad for both of the women.

Stress at work

When it comes to stress at work, I do not handle it very well. I feel like taking the day off and going somewhere thats peaceful where I can clear my mind and get rid of the tension I feel. Clients who come in to the office and start cussing or complaining and questioning procedures or they start telling me how to do my job, thats what stresses me out. They cross the line when they start that nonsense. Another thing, I have been working as a receptionist for almost 5 years, and my last raise was back in March of this year when I was asked if I wanted to be the full time receptionist. I would like to be making more money and doing something else that can challenge me or where I can learn a new skill. I also talk about what stresses me out. That helps out alot.

Hurricane Katrina

What happened down in New Orleans is just as tragic like 9/11 was. We do not understand things. There are lots of unanswered questions that everyone has. Blaming President Bush is not the right way to go. He is human just like everyone else, and to be honest, even the president himself makes mistakes, noone is perfect. People handle things differently. Yes we all are heartbroken over what took place that day in New Orleans. There is alot of reconstruction to be done and cleaning up to do. Everyone should pitch in and help those in need, out with what they need done. Without faith, everything is nothing but chaotic and messed up in this world. Instead of gripeing about everything and blaming someone, get out there and be of help yourself.

Possessive people

My goodness! I would have to agree with some of the different people who say Granny, get a life! That reminds me of my own mother who questions mine and my fiances' decisions about eating out, going to a movie, going out of town, you name it, she does that. It is so annoying! I am about to be married here soon and I for one do not need that and will not tolerate that kind of behavior! I feel for the parents. I agree with them 100% and with Dr. Phil as well. Let the parents do what they need to do and you stay out of it!

Quote From: mssylady1

The President is the head of the country.  The buck stops and starts with him.  Did you not hear what Mayor Nagin said when he cursed on national television and then broke down and began to cry.  Or have you chosen to forget that?

 

That is when things began to happen.  Do you remember how many days that was after the flooding?  Bush is the only one with the true authority to transend red tape.  He could have called an emergency session of Congress and had the necessary monies and National Guard there to attend to the emergency.  Is that not what took place in New York after 9/11?

 

You state, "everyone should pitch in and help those in need...".  The question I ask you is, What have you done to help those in need.  Giving money to the government...Red Cross included is sometimes not the answer.  Take that money and get a group of people from your church and travel to New Orleans and pick two houses and repair them (as your home is) so the people can live in them and help them find a job.  Then go back to your home and I can guarantee you, your heart will sing with joy a year from now.

 

You stop griping...get out there and be of help yourself!

Yes I am fully aware of all of that. Did you not read where I said, even the president makes mistakes, himself, he is not perfect. He is working harder to make things right. I am involved in community projects with the Police Department and a community emergency response team that prepares for emergencies and goes out when called upon and we help those victims and their families. I know everyone is wanting to go postal, but we all have to have faith that when we set our mind to it, anything is possible. We have to ask God to help us be better people when we do wrong.

Hi everyone out there, not sure how or even if this will work but hay why not give it a go... ok so i am 22 years old and i have had a pretty hard couple of years, my parents were very happy together and then literally over night my family was torn apart and my mother has moved to America and gotten married to someone there and my father has moved to the other side of the country, i am about to graduate from University and should be getting ready to start the rest of my life instead i am dreading the new year because i dont know what will happen, i cant seem to think of one positive thing about myself every time i look in the mirror i only see negative things, and i am to affraid to get into any kind of a relationship because i cant imagine relying on anyone...how do i change this? any suggestions anyone out there
From what I have read, you have been through some tough trials. You seem to have something great going for yourself. Graduating from a university is awesome and a positive thing to look forward to, and starting the rest of you life is another positive thing to look forward to. You being concerned about not knowing what will happen or take place is normal, I know the feeling too. What are you passionate about? what is something you would enjoy doing for a career or even a hobby on the side? I think because of what your parents went through, you are not real sure about a relationship because you are afraid the same thing might happen to you. Well, you cannot predict what will happen in a relationship. You just take it one step at a time and one day at a time. Do not rush things. No need to. Just be yourself, enjoy life and stick with your support group of friends and they can be of help as well.

cheapskaters and big spenders.

ok, here is what I think. I think this couple, needs to sit down and talk about everything. They need to put the cards out on the table, yes even the jokers. This man needs to not be spending on himself, but using money wisely for the right things, food, bills, medicine, medical and dental and health visits, not a motorcycle, thats a want, not something he needs. They also need to consult one another on what they will be purchasing before going and doing the spending. I would never go out and buy something without talking to my husband about it first. You need to know needs, versus wants and has to have right away. The young lady who likes to spend, yes dear, almost all girls like to do that, however, you need to come to a realization that money does not grow on trees, and you need to work to pay off debts and get that done first and for most, otherwise you will be in even more debt along the way. You need to be careful about spending and the credit cards. In my opinion, you should get everything paid off, close the accounts, and cut those credit cards up!

Quote From: noraann

You are22 yrs old. You are graduating. You were strong enough to get your education. What your parents do with their life is their concern. Yes you love them, yes they are your parents. BUT, you are not responsible for their happenings. They are. You can still love them and be there, but they have their choices to make. Be supportive of both. This is about them, not you. Get off the pity pot and start looking inside of your self. There are great things there......if you don't waste your time in not looking.

PS.

I think you may be posting this on the wrong board. This one is for cheapskates and big spenders.

I think that this person maybe has some other issues that went on in the home and that maybe relate to the topic of cheapskates and big spenders. Noone knows this person's life story. If they wish to post something on this one, even if it does not go along with the topic, it should be ok.

Plastic surgery

Plastic surgery is costly and can be dangerous. The outcome results might not be what you wanted to begin with. Once its done, you cannot take back what you had removed or implanted in. You have to live with the choice you made. I saw on the Oprah show, a young lady who was very beautfiul and gorgeous, and she had several plastic surgeries and she now looks like a barbie doll with a terrible makeover. She did not need any of that surgery, she was beautiful the way she started out. It ended up costing her lots of money. Some of the results were not very good. I think that having breast implants or lip injections is just not good for the body. Its costly and not really a good idea. Those who have breast implants are just not pretty at all. I think the media has alot to do with it.
