I'm a school high school teacher. I'm here to excape from the busy world we all live in. I enjoy answering questions and putting in my opinion, even though I know some people will disagree. I really enjoy it when people respond and say that I've given good advice. I do it all day long at school and try to do the same here. Sometimes I know I give bad advice, but I sure as heck am not perfect. I look forward to your positive and negative comments about my postings.

  • HELP! iPhone 4 home button doesn't always work? Any ideas why?

    I have an iPhone 4. I really like it. But, about 1 or 2 times a week the home button stops working. Sometimes I turn the phone off and turn it on and it works. But if this doesn't work, when I plug it in to a power device, the home button will start working again. Does this happen to any of you? Any suggestions why this happens or how to prevent it? Thanks...

  • Bad Tires on 2009 Toyota Camry; what to do?

    I have a perfect condition 2009 Toyota Camry with 23K miles on it. The front rear well had a funny noise that sounded like a bering problem. The dealership determined that the noise is coming from the Bridgestone factory installed tires. They said I could do nothing. They called it "tired chopped" but safe to drive. Dealer said I have to live with noise or get new tires.

    I've had the vehicle 27 months and have taken excellent care of it. Now noise problem that nobody will take responsibility for. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Thanks.

  • South Asian Body Odor Question?

    I was on a plane yesterday and a man of either Indian or Pakistan culture sat next to me. He was nicely dressed and was an educated man. He was studying computer design and was a bright guy. The problem that I noticed was that his body ordor was horrible. I had to turn away not to continually smell his bad aroma.

    This is my question. What is it with that part of the world's culture that has no emphasis on it body odor? I have experienced the same before. This is not a racist question, this is a "want to know" question. Do the people not recognize that they have body odor? Do they not take baths? Is it their diet? What is it that gives many of them this body odor?

    I ask that only serious people respond. If you want to be racist I am not interested in your comments. I am sincere, I honestly have a genuine desire to know the answer to my question. If you think you have a correct answer, please respond?

  • How come Hillary gets to talk "BLACK"?

    Last weekend, Mrs. Bill Clinton spoke at a Black Church in Alabama. She gave a good speech, but all throughout the speech she attempted to mimic a Black Preacher. She attempted to not only talk Southern with a long drawl.....She used verbiage and a style of speaking that attempts to sound like a black person. I think this is pandering at its worse. How come if any other politician tried this he would get blasted and they would call him racist, but Hillary gets away with it? I can't believe so many good, outstanding, Christian Black people are so gullible.

  • From the Bears/Jets game, how come?

    How come when a guy scores a TD all the black guys get congratulated from black guys and the white guys congradulate the white guys?

  • What would you do?

    My wife has never cheated on me to my knowledge. I love her dearly. Currently, due to a job promotion, she's in a city 300 miles away. I will join her when our house is sold.

    So she calls me and says after work, people (guys and girls) from her office are gong to a bar for drinks. Should I be concerned? What would you do?

    I know how I feel, but I'd like perspectives from both guys and girls.

  • A question for people in France?

    I know sometimes the "media" is right, but often they are wrong. People in France get a bad rap in America for many reasons. If you are from France, can you please tell me if Americans are really disliked there or is it a myth. I have been to Paris two times and have found the people there to be nice. I was never treated bad. Have things changed and or we really hated or what?

  • I-Pod Nano or Something else?

    Nothing complicated here. All I want is to be able to listen to music when I go jogging. Most people I see have I-Pod Nanos. I went to Best Buy and they cost $149. I can buy something else for $50 that has just as much memory. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should buy and most important WHY I should buy one over the other. Thanks.
