Busy mama

I have been doing hair for ten years. I recently moved to a small town (25 thousand) in Nebraska. I applied at the most high end salon in town, I am also the only newbie so I get all of the walk ins. PROBLEM is I only get 2 to 3 walk ins a week. :( Thankfully I am pretty good at retaining clientel, ive been working for 6 months and although I am starting to get regular clients I am loosing money working here... I don't want to go to any other shop but I don't know what to do,. how much longer do I have to endure this??

This weekend I am buying a 7 year old paint horse for 350, hasn't been ridden in two years so I guess that's why he was so cheap. Anyway, I am not very experienced with horses/horse ownership. I have scheduled a dentist/farrier.. Can anyone give me some advice on how to be a good owner? Also tips on working with her so I can get her to ride? Any information on Paint's in general would be helpful :)

My brother in law is 32 years old and has been a sever alcoholic for the last ten years. He drinks whiskey/pop all day every day. 2 years ago he almost died from esophageal varices and needed a blood transfusion. A few months after that he was hospitalized for something with his kidneys... Now he stays at home and drinks all day, he doesn't work and sleeps most of the day. He is taking vitamins that the doctors prescribed. His teeth are turning black and rotting out. He wont talk to us about his medical condition so I really don't know how long he has. Recently he developed these white spots on his arms and I don't know what they are... Can anyone give me information about his life expectancy and what his last months will be like?

I was given an OTTB (off the track thoroughbred) male horse that is four years old. He is very healthy and VERY fast but I am an inexperienced rider and he is too much horse for me. I would like to sell him so that I can buy a different horse but I dont know how much to sell him for??

When we were little, my sister was the pretty popular one and i was the little geek in the corner. As i grew up things changed, i blossmed and married a successfull handsome great guy. She has cheated on both of her husbands and is now divorced. I barely see her but when i do she CONSTANTLY throws herself at my husband. Laughing loudly giggeling, talking to him about anything she can to get his attention. Yesterday hit hard though, because he was flirting back. They sat on the couch eating dinner/drinking while me and the kids sat at the table. She was saying things like "why did you marry Kiara shes such a geek you could do so much better," and he didnt stick up for me. He just loved the attention. We have never had major problems in our marriage but i feel so hurt and betrayed i cant even look at him. They were all over eachother. Im devestated. Question1 how do i handle this? question 2 why does she do this to me?

My twins just turned eleven and I have been getting alot of "sass" any time I ask them to do things.... Their still obedient loving children, but they have been being very rude and complaining alot!!! I have tried talking to them and explaining this behavior is innappropriate, I have tried punishment but nothing is working. Is this normal for kids their age? I dont remember ever speaking to my parents like this. :(

I was given a quote for 6900 for braces and too me that seems really high. I am getting the clarity braces and my teeth are pretty crooked, but not horrible. I live in Nebraska... no insurance. Any thoughts?

I cant find it online :( I need to know the average monthly property tax on a 300,000 dollar home. I saw one website that said 700 a month but that seems really high for colorado..... Please help :(

Thinking of moving to Castle Rock next summer. Can anyone let me know the pros and Cons of the area? Property taxes>..... Budget 280,000 Large family.. Are there any cities closer to castle rock that would be cheaper?

We are planning on moving to Colorado next summer. So far, we love the castle rock area. I am graduating college as a paramedic this Spring and was wondering if it is hard for first year medics to find a job. Also, are there any jobs as medics that I dont have to be a firefighter as well??

Today is my 30 birthday, i was at my mothers house when the smallest thing set her off and she threw my sons wooden baby gate at me nearly missing my child. I immediatly left, i did not yell or scream infront of my four kids just calmly walked out. Later she sent a text apologizing and i finally confronted her over the years of physical abuse i suffered from her as a child. She called me a liar, (among other even worse things.) and now i feel like i never should have said anything at all. I have wanted to confront her for years but never had the guts.. i told her i dont want her to be around my family anymore, Im starting to have a panic attack and i feel so guilty and ashamed. I dont know what to do.

My husband and i were raised in small town Nebraska. We are planning on moving to colorado next summer. We have four small children and are looking for a nice, family based town that has low housing costs. Our main concern is a safe neighborhood. We are contemlating fort collins and colorado springs.. Could you please be as detailed as possible in your response? Thanks!!

Sometimes i get incredibly angry for no paticular reason at my husband. I then feel like i dont want to be with him and i want a divorce. The next day ill feel totally fine and cant believe i even used the word divorce... could this be a touch of post partum depression?

We are going on a cruise in less then a week. My travel agent entered my husbands name wrong on BOTH our cruise and flight. On the flight she put his first AND middle name as his first name and did not add the hyphenated portion of his last name. On the cruise she got the first name right but did not add his legal hypenated last name. The cruise ship wants fifty dollars to change this Im not even sure about the airport yet. I had to go get a legal copy of marriage license just so we could go on the cruise but im not sure about the flight as she is not in the office today. I didnt pay her to book this vacation, the office i guess gets paid through the cruise but what do i do?? Demand she fixes this and pays for it?

Hi i am a mother of four trying to go back to college and i am REALLY BAD at math. I was wondering if the ACT or COMPASS test was easier as far as math goes...??

I have four children and my youngest is ten months old. (Will be 11months at time of cruise) This is for sure our last baby (had the surgery) and for some reason i feel very hesitent at leaving him. This is the only baby i have got to stay at home with and never had to take to daycare. Grandma offered to watch him while were on our cruise (Gone 9 days) and im really scared about leaving him that long. He has stayed overnight with grandma before but not this long. I cant take him on the cruise because he has allergies and im afraid the heat would be too much for him. Not sure if im being a baby or if i should cancell my plans...

NO RUDE COMMENTS PLEASE

I used to have a very regular peirod. For the last few years (Im almost 30 now) my peirod has changed dramatically. I bleed severly for the first 2 days. Then it comes back 4-6 days later and slowly finishes. Sometimes it doesnt come back at all and ill have a brown discharge weeks later that comes and goes... Is this just the normal aging process?

Does anyone know of any REAL coupons or discounts for cruises? EMT?

We want to take our kids on a cruise this June and we were wondering the discount rate for third and fourth passangers?? Also, does carnival offer an EMT discount? Can someone tell me about any additional fees or ways to get coupons or discounts on cruises??? THANKS

My son has had breathing problems since he was 4 months old and has had on and off breathing treatements. Last week we took him to a specialist that said he has tracheal malascia and asthma. On Friday he was diagnosed with pneumonia. I have seen LITTLE improvement with the antibiotics and breathing treatements, and his cough is getting worse. I have been using a warm steam humidifier (since 4 months) at night and now im starting to wonder could warm steam make it worse for him? Should i switch to cool?
