    Money talk

    How often do you and your wife talk about the finances? When money is on her mind, my wife wants to talk about the bills every single day. I don't feel this is positive thinking and believe we should only talk about it every week or every other week.

    Well, it looks like the show is going to be cancelled. We really enjoyed watching it because it was something different and not about cops, doctors, or reality television. Anyone else going to miss this show?

    My wife is already planning what she is going to do for Halloween. I use to help her, but it has gotten to be a really big project and I don't enjoy it as much as she does. I was wondering how many people decorate as a couple and how many have just one person that do it all on their own?
