I'm sure there's someplace you can find a good guide in your area, but here's something the Center for Nonprofit Excellence in NM developed that might help.

Well, that takes care of the "something borrowed" thing in a big way.

While you are true that people can do with less, there is a huge span between living on less and full independence. The article is more about not having any financial pressures, "It allows us to quit jobs we hate, travel, and visit sick relatives across the country at a moment's notice."

Yea ...I disagree with it also.

Seriously, this woman blows me away. Every time she has spoken publicly, she has done so from a place of strength and positivity. I endured a trauma of my own, and it lasted for a day - one day, and it took me years to gain the kind of perspective that she seems to have had since the time of their escape. I hope for…

Seriously, where do people get the idea that it's good for these things to happen quickly? If you want a not guilty verdict, fine. But remember that there are time constraints after indictment (constitutional), so you really have to have your shit together as a prosecutor BEFORE then.

Better to take a year building a solid case than to rush it into court and lose.

You can't put a price on love!!! the nerve!

I would lie about the worth of my dogs, too. Then again, my dogs are shelter mutts so they aren't worth mutts. Still, they could take anything I had - but NOT my dogs.

I so badly want to be like, "yes!" But all I can muster is, "it took to this effin long to get your sh!t together and I'm supposed to be proud of you?" Come on people, lets get serious about taking this seriously.

Excellent. That is just exactly it. Not only is the law a teacher, but teachers and adults are supposed to be, well, teachers too.

Pervs respond: " G-g-g-ghost!!!!"

Pets are property, so yes, you must declare pets with monetary value as assets in bankruptcy. Thoroughbred horses, for instance, could be a major asset in a bankruptcy.

I, for one, was surprised that it was a female architect, and that the comparison never occurred to her.

When that person is digging up your daughter's corpse (almost literally) to do it and posting it over the news... I'm giving her a pass here. Open letter appropriateness sustained in the courtroom of LaComtesse.

Yeah, Madoff's wife lost all her horses and ponies when the pozi went belly up. Granted, she was breeding/selling hunter ponies so they weren't straightforward pets but it still freaked me out.

My first thought was "busted football" and then "super chapped lips" and THEN "sideways vagern." Of course, it's the vagina that always sticks.

Quick! Somebody get that woman a hand mirror!

Puns! I better leaf before this becomes a tea party.
