Rebekah replied to Experimental Wife's discussion Lady Blogger Wants to Know: What Do Men Actually Want for Christmas?"Elsewhere on that site, it says NJ has access to the business records of out-of-state businesses.

And I…"
Carl Monster replied to Experimental Wife's discussion Lady Blogger Wants to Know: What Do Men Actually Want for Christmas?"Correction...the state does not collect tax on such purchases, but says we owe it anyway, honor system.
I have no idea what we did that tax season. If we owe anything they have no way of proving anything, that's why nobody pays those…"

Margie said… I so miss those times when my son was still a baby. Enjoy the moments because they fly by. As for the pictures, there was a discussion thread a couple years back that prompted me to post those; it had something to do with keeping your inner child alive. But no, they're not of my son. They're just fun random pictures that my sister had 'forward e-mailed' me. Except for the family; that's my mom and dad, sister, and baby me.

Hi, Alison. I spent some time checking out your site this morning. It's very impressive! I read 'The Perfect Housewife: A Great American Myth'. I went through that type of phase shortly after I quit my job to stay home to care for my baby boy (he's 14 now) and fully devote myself to family. It's a long story, but that phase nearly killed me. lol
I'm going to have to read more of your articles.
