So simple, yet true. You will be like those whom you hang around. I tell my daughter that when she is complaining of a mean or selfish "friend".

Pack the sliced apples in a quart jar and put tap water in with the apples and also two 325mg aspirin, put flat and ring on the jar. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SEAL, BUT SOMETIMES THEY DO. It can be hot or cold water, doesn't matter. I have tried this and it works. The apples are nice and pretty, you can keep them from one year to the next and no problem....

Always sacrifice for your husband's career. An unhappy breadwinner is not fun to live with. 2. Always encourage him to call his mother. It is unselfish and they will both appreciate you for it. 3. Never buy a piece of clothing that doesn't go with 3 other things in your closet. When I got married, My grandma gave me three peices of advice.

Thank you so much for the beautiful advice as well as the tips on freezing apples. I just wanted to add to one about money not equaling status... Just because people may have money, doesn't mean they are better or worse than another. I've been on both ends of the spectrum and people really do judge both ways. The fact is that we're all equal no matter what we have or don't have. =) Beautiful! Thank you so much for the beautiful advice as well as the tips on freezing apples.

She taught us that God's plan for us was decided long ago, and we can struggle against it, or we can go along with it. Being a bit of a control freak, I tried at times to struggle against it. Then one day it hit me. God led me to the most amazing life partner, he gave me the responsibility to love and care for 4 precious children, he is always there when I need him most. The struggle is over. Following the leader is so much easier, you don't step in near as many puddles.
