When we hit upon certain subjects, my boyfriend clams up. He simply refuses to talk. I have no idea why simply discussing something is so difficult for him. If I press the issue, he tells me to 'drop it,' and if I press again, he gets angry.

IT'S JUST TALKING. Why is that so threatening to him? It frustrates me to no end that I have to censor myself because there are certain things he simply will not discuss, and I never find out what those things are until I ask about them.

What are the touchy subjects, you ask? Past conflicts that we've had, his ex-girlfriend, and the one time I heard him say the word 'marriage' when speaking about our relationship.

I'm looking for a new apartment as I just got a new job. I called one such place that was on my list, and was told (rather rudely, actually) that they wouldn't lease to people with pets OR children. (I have one daughter, she's 5.) Now no pets, I can understand...but no children? Isn't that cutting out like 80% of the population? And moreover, isn't it a bit discriminatory?

Given how rude the guy was to me, I suspect he was just busy and wanted to shake me off, but still...

When I saw the commercial for I'M Instant Media, I immediately went to the website (www.im.com) to check it out. Their premise is you can subscribe to all kinds of channels and download your favorite shows automatically. After checking it out, I'm skeptical. I'm not sure if it's free. The download for the software is free, sure, but do you have to pay when you 'subscribe' to a channel? Also, I'm not sure this is the internet version of cable TV. I took a look at the channel list...and I don't think I'll be finding the episodes of Sopranos that I missed on any of their listings.

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm hesitant to download.
