I don't run enough giveaways to give a good review - do YOU use Rafflecopter? What do you think about it? http://theblogfrog.com/1362952/forum/146788/do-you-use-rafflecopter.htmlThu, 09 Feb 2012 02:18:12 GMTHey all. Since it's the "month of love" and I've already asked about your childhood crushes, how about another question about your current (or maybe even past) crush? My blog post a few days ago was called Will You Marshmallow? about my husband's lame, lackluster, and (yawn) downright boring proposal to me in the car on the way to the mall. Did you have either a WOW proposal or a "yawner" you would be willing to share with the crowd? C'mon. Don't be shy! http://theblogfrog.com/1362952/forum/146786/was-your-engagement-proposal-as-lackluster-as-mine.htmlThu, 09 Feb 2012 02:09:05 GMTWe hadn't really started any yet. I hope to this year. http://theblogfrog.com/1362952/forum/146725/what-are-your-valentines-day-traditions.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 18:55:05 GMTHi all, I am cross posting this on Happy Wives Club community as well, as I just feel so strongly about doing what I can to help moms in marriages that are in trouble. While I am so blessed to be in a happy marriage, I have friends who are not who have decided it is just time to call it quits, and I recently wrote posts for them. My humble request is that if you would be so kind as to share these two posts however you like-twitter, facebook, even via email or whatever-so that wives and husbands who believe there is no alternative but to divorce will step back and continue to turn over every rock to find their way to a truly satisfying and happy relationship. My goal is to save at least one relationship from divorce. I will probably never know if I achieved it, but I know I will have given it my best shot. My previous post was Rescuing your marriage, looking back from the future. If you missed that you can find it here: http://www.toodarnhappy.com/2012/02/06/rescuing-your-marriage-looking-back-from-the-future/ The follow up is: Rescuing your marriage-reaching for resources. http://www.toodarnhappy.com/2012/02/08/rescuing-your-marriage-reaching-for-resources/ Thanks so much! http://theblogfrog.com/1362952/forum/146696/helping-transform-stormy-marriages-into-strong-relationships.htmlWed, 08 Feb 2012 15:03:46 GMTGirl 13, given contraceptive implant at school in attempt to combat teenage pregnancies!

So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried, No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
