The only reason DD got into private school after being rejected everywhere is UB advice. Numerous work tips. Gazillion tips on having DD in the first place. Husband advice. Sympathy after numerous IVF failures. I've been here for 20 years - this is really my primary source of advice. Yeah, you got lots of crap, but also, in almost every thread- that comment that made all the difference. Thank you everyone [ Reply | More

This is where I always come for advice too. I have been through hell in the past five years and UB was here for me when no one else was. My mom died and UB became my surrogate mom. So many smart women here, and even the tough love is absolutely what I've needed. I'm so sad! [ Reply | More

UB got me through three kids, cheating husband with alcohol problems, advice as I was setting up my first real home. It also occurred to me that this site could have been a goldmine if it had been set up correctly. One simple way are the favorite things posts. I have bought SO many things from those, and they have been awesome. If there were a simple product recommendation link that listed different products, I am sure the site would have paid for itself. Almost like a "oprah's favorite things" but instead "UB favorite things" [ Reply | More
