Divorce Details
I am in desperate need of advice. I have an attorney representing me in my divorce proceedings, but I would like a second opinion on certain matters as I am not sure my attorney is doing everything he can.

Or, if you have gone through a recent divorce, I would love to hear about your experience with the process. Many thanks. |
By a Hair
Over the past few years, I have started to notice thinning around my hairline. Before it gets any worse, I want to see if there are measures I can take to prevent further hair loss. Have you been to any doctors or centers that have been effective? Or, are there any products that address thinning hair that you have had results with? I appreciate your replies. |
Along for the Ride
From Ellen Heredia: REPLY Does anyone know of a local car service that can transport people to and from the airport and around town for evenings out? It doesn't have to be a limo, just a nice, reliable driver who can take us to Miami Beach when we want to have a nice dinner and drinks and not worry about having to drive home. Your recommendations are much appreciated. |
Hostess With the Mostess
From Cheryl Miller: REPLY I recently found out that my husband and I should be hosting a rehearsal dinner for my stepson's wedding. I am not very traditional so this has caught me by surprise!
