If you could, send a special prayer up for my mom. Her husband (not my dad) told her last night that their marriage was over & that he wasn't willing to try. They have been through counseling before & while they were having trouble this time, she thought that they were going to work on it...

Anyone ever heard of the stuff? My mom invited me to a "taste of gourmet" titled home party so I figured it was like tastefully simple? Come to find it's a product line for cleansing or detoxing and it has claims for fast weight loss in 9 days or 30 days. Any one have reviews with it?

I have a really hard time with planning dinner. You guys, I seriously feel like such a flop whenever I think about the fact that I'm a PC consultant and I rarely cook dinner! Not because I can't cook, because I can, but because I lack discipline in that area (let's not mention the other areas...

I'm doing a show in Alabama for a working mom of 4 kids who would like me to prepare an easy, quick recipe she can put together to feed her family for supper. Got any ideas? I thought of the Taco Ring, but I've done that already for some of the people in her group. Would love to hear your...
