    Are you for or against plastic shopping bag bans?

    I've always wondered about contamination in reusable bags...seems I was correct to worry about it...

    What is the worst purchase you ever made?

    Total Garbage!!!! I got rid of mine after 3 compressor replacements(each requiring a week with no fridge waiting for parts) Lasted for 3 years. Never again for GE GE in this house.

    pillow suggestions for a side sleeper that has neck and shoulder pain?

    I've spent decades looking for the perfect pillow. The Sleep Number one(you can choose your inner core type and then the outer cover type) is amazing. I've had the same one for years now and it's still like brand new. Worth the investment.

    OK, Am I doing something wrong here??? Beware: medical insurance related!

    A Medicare supplement plan rarely covers more than the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover. If Medicare denies, they deny also. Medicare part D you have to be very careful what plan you choose, since they are not all created equal. Get the formulary for the plan you have and bring it to your doctor...

    Have you started taxes yet?

    I'm concerned for my employees discovering their withholdings don't cover their tax obligation. I did warn everyone, but the response was "but we're not going to have to pay such high taxes with the changes so I'm fine"...sadly they may find out the hard way.

    Whats the most expensive prescription medicine you have gotten?

    Then stop advertising drugs(which are always the highest priced drugs on the market) and let the doctor decide what's best for their patient. At approx 6.5 BILLION dollars annually spent on advertising that's a lot of money for R&D.

    Whats the most expensive prescription medicine you have gotten?

    While that may be part of it, it's far from the whole story. Pharma reps push the most expensive drugs. Doctors who don't keep up on drugs(which is almost impossible these days) fall for the line and order the new drug, when an older drug could resolve the problem. Then they are forced to play...

    New appliances - opinion please

    I had all new GE appliances...never again. The refrigerator ended up needing 3 new compressors, the dishwasher doesn't clean and the stove temperature isn't anywhere near accurate(randomly can be 100 degrees off). The fridge is now dead and replaced and can't wait to replace the rest. That said...

    Mother of the groom dress advice

    As one who was just the MOG a week ago, thank God for my daughter in law! She couldn't care less what color I wore. Her mother and I spoke and both picked colors that we liked, end of story. I'm not one to "wear beige and shut up"...that ain't gonna happen! In this day and age, the beige thing...

    Effexor advice

    Effexor is one of the hardest of the antidepressants to stop taking. It has a very short half life and the capsule(with tiny pills inside) makes slow weaning difficult. DO NOT COLD TURKEY EFFEXOR!! My DH was on it for years and we had to stop it when he was unable to swallow at the end of his...

    Mothball Neighbors Making Me Miserable

    This always blows my mind....when did it become a huge problem that dogs pee outside? It's not as if you can control when they pee. Ground hogs, squirrels etc are all peeing the yards also. Poop, I get it. Pee...really?

    I brought this on myself..how do I stop it?

    Hire someone and take the money out of whatever money they get for the week. I have no patience for those who don't pull their own weight.

    Boardwalk Inn - considering staying there for first time, some questions, hoping for comments!

    I love the "look" of Boardwalk but tried it 2 times and both times moved to other resorts.Once due to a horrible pull out couch and once due to a room that was so far away from things that DH, who had some trouble walking long distances at that time, couldn't do the walk to get out of the...
