I was reading another board about sneaking purchases past their husband's. I know I use to sneak before we started doing our finances together. I would actually come home during lunch to get the mail or unload packages. I was pitiful. Even now, I will bring things in the house and wince thinking how upset Devin would be with me.
So, have you ever hid purchases or not told your DH the whole picture of your finances? We use to horrible fights about finances. I would do the weekly budget and e-mail him it. We would discuss it and everything was fine. Then, he would tell me two days later that he was doing a marathon that cost $75.00. I had to actually ask him before we did the budget-Do you have any marathons? Do you need shoes? Do you have any equipment you need? Can you tell I

Which is one of the many reasons I'm not a lawyer. I REFUSE to be conformist when there is no functional basis for the conformity.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
the situation is similar in Anne Arundel, Montgomery and Prince George's counties, all of which are part of the Baltimore/DC Metro area.
Bullchit. I wore a white sweater with a khaki skirt recently to a meeting that was filled with *gasp* lawyer, bankers and accountants. Heck, I wore the same sweater to a meeting where I met with politicians. And the same sweater to a meeting the one of our state's highest paid lobbyists.
They must not have gotten the memo cause I wasn't shunned. I was welcomed ... even hugged by a few.

My kids ARE with me every day. I work 2 NIGHTS a week-yep, they are sleeping for most of the time I am gone. Not to mention they are with their FATHER. Yes, I work set days, but I also work for some great people who have no problem with me taking time off whenever I might need or want to-my *waiting for approval* consists of about 5 minutes of checking with my boss on her schedule (since she does my job when I am not there) and writing it down.
What is this about being *disqualified*?? Is this some kind of competition for you? Again, why do you seem so embarassed to call yourself what you ARE-a pt wohm??????

And see ... I don't see the point of swimming with the tide when there is no positive benefit of doing so. What would I gain by not wearing white? Or by carrying a $500 purse? Or by wearing short sleeves only from June to August?
If anything, I would *lose* something by doing so .. that something being money and comfort.
