I left w job because I was put in the uncomfortable position of knowing that one of my coworkers (we were both managers, she was the wine master/bar manager) have began an extra martial affair with our Italian head chef. I'm friends with her husband, ans go to church with all of her family, including her kids. I left the restaraurant after knowing about this affair, and another affair a married bartender was having with another chef. I am invited to the anniversary party of the bar manager and her husband, which I have to decline, and now her husband has been texting me asking me why I left the restaurant and if I know why Canton (the woman I've been taking about) has been spending the night at my place so much lately...apparently she has been using me an excuse for spending the night with her new.boyfriend. its not my place to ruin her marriage, and when I brought the issue of her using me as an excuse to persue her affair, and she threatened to slander my name in the restaraunt community in my area, saying she could definitely claim that I had been stealing from the restaurant and that's why I had left, that they pitied me and let me leave rather than be fired. I'm so uncomfortable. This blackmail if she did it, could ruin my chances to manage at a new restsraunt I've been applying for. What should I do?

My moms always been a pack rat, and a bit of a hoarder.recently due to.finances and my.fiance and I breaking it off I moved back in with her. She has gotten worse, and can't.go a day without buy knickknacks, and little presents for me (i know its sweet) like make up tools, mirrors, decor, etc. Well the problem is all these present have covered every viable surface in ky room and bathroom...I don't want to hurt her feelings but I can't live like this, I myself and a neat freak. And the bathroom...I am a minimalist and really don't like materialism of having too much syuff, well its covered in every beauty product you could imagine or want. Well I don't want....hlp please.

I love my mom very much and treat ber respectfully, she went through a lot to raise my brother and me. Recently I moved back home with her. The problem is...she hoards...I can't really deal with it. She brings ne little presents every day, which I know is very sweet and thoughtful, but I'm a minimalist through and through and her gifts have cluttered all of my space and my bathroom impossible...there'd not a single inch of surface space to find. How do I go about getting rid of these "presents" (make up, decorations, lotions, perfume etc" without hurting her feelings?

North Korea has been a "hermit nation" since the cease fire of the Korean War in the 1950s. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the sole benefactor holding together the support financially and substantially for NK, the people who are not among the elite have been starving in record numbers, with various reports claiming their famine in the 1990s took from 250000 to 3 million lives. A givermeny of a small elite brainwashed the people that they live in the happiest place on Earth, rewriting history to support their claims and imprisoning/murdering anyone who dares question their leadership. Now, with continued pursuance of nuclear testing, the UN gave NKS newest leader Kim Sung Il a choice, back off or be cut off (from food providence) and this poor struggling coubtryd dictator chooses to spend millions on missile testing rather than feed its people. This month reports of cannibalism as result of hunger have risen. What can the world do to intervenr and what will be the catalysts to make it happen?

Teens what is your opinion about the state of our government, and what changes need to made? Also, would you consider voting for a party other than the democrats or republicans, and what do you know about these other parties, such as the federalist, green, libertarians, etc. I'm excited to know your thoughts and insights, as you all are going to lead us someday.

This question is meant for Koreans and Chinese, as I believe you would have greater insight into the world most secretative country than those of us that live in the West and have a more propaganda infused and negative information of the country social totaltarian government. We are aware of the Songbun caste system, secret prisons, the elite living a better and "show life"for visitors in Pyongyang, the famine in the ninitiee and the current nuclear research thst supposedly is aimed to reach the US, North Korea's sworn enemy. Is life really as tough as it's made out to be, are there really so many secret prisons that people can be born into and punished for their ancestors crimes? Please provide Mr some insight, I would love to know more than the possible propaganda I've Bern fed.

I am curious about what teenagers think about our current political state. Also, I would like know what you teens out there know about the other political parties (not democrat and republican) and what theythink about them. Please this question is only for teens, I'd love to ser your insight and political views.

Ok. A fourteen.year old was with her grandparents,.who were talking about the changes in our military, and she disagreed with them on a pint. They asked her why she agreed with a change in policy and returned with (im paraphrasing and making a synopsis of her response) "no, I don't care if more people are in combat. Why should I care if people go to war. If they are stupid enough the chose s job where they could knowingly and likely be injured or die, why should I care or feel sympathy for them. It's their dumb decision to get killed. Why should I care for dumb people that want to get themselves killed in war for no reason?" I want to address this properly, but thie teens apathy towards our military astounds me. I was raised to respect our troops whether or not I agree with the war our government has put us in (my father is a Vietnam vet, and I am aware of how badly our troops who served whether they were drafted or not were treated by Americans when they came home) because they are the people who enable and protect my lifestyle and my safety. Is this apathetic view common among teens nowadays? How do we change that? How do I react to this (honestly I wanted to slap her) or try to inform her of how to be respectful of our troops.

I know our nation was founded by immigrants, and diversity is what has made it so great. However, I think times have changed since the eighteenth century, and I would like to stop immigration. I think we need reform in a better way than granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, especially those who have committed Amy crimes, even a driving violation. I live in a border state and actually see the problems associated with illegal immigration, the drugs, the crime, etc. The best answer will get five stars. Please don't be racist and if you're not familiar with the amnesty plan, don't answer. I don't believe in the whole "let us build a 24 ft electrocuted fence" conservative ideal, but I do want to close our borders and deport illegal immigrants from any country, as well as stop their ability to abuse our welfare system. They should have to be legally accepted into our country before reaping any of the benefits our citizens have and our taxpayers pay for.

I do not need the answer of you should keep them filed, he deserves this, this is a serious legal question. I filed assualt charges against my ex fiance in November, and then a month later called the detective on the case and told him I no longer would be pressing charges. However, I understand the state of Texas can and will still file charges against him. He is now in jail, and I've been researching how to dissuade the state from pressing these charges and have the case dissolved. Any advice on this matter?

We've been together threw years, recently moved in an engaged after a minor setback but I can't live with the way his mother acts. I treat her respectfully mind you, but that's bot reciprocated. She has disrespected my mother, who will not speak to her bc of it, as well as my brother making fun of the house have (my mother's house is small but she's worked her whole life to own it and retire) to the way she raised me. She lives off of welfare with her "husband" ( a guy my fiances age who got fired from Dennys 6 months ago) and refuses to work except to do taxes (she did mine and charged me 500 out of the 1300 I got) and live off my fiances dollar. Now that we live together, I see he pays 800 to 1000 a month to her, which she demands (literally she calls him on the fifteenth each month and says where's my money? You didn't deposit Moms money. Call me when it hits the bank.) I'm not ok with that, he wants to go to college again, and buy a car but he pays for her to live. And her house...she lives in the country in a house that's falling apart with 30 cats. I'm going to school to be a vet and it bothers me that she hoards cats and doesn't get then shots or fixed, and they are inbred, they all live inside with two dogs, another dog out side in a 24 sq foot dog run and one horse, two other horses she had died of colic. She's trying to legally adopt her friends kid to collect more welfare, but that environment is not safe for a child. She behaves like a child in public, yells at waiters (i wait tables and model to pay for school and can't stand people who don't tip and mistreat waiters) and cashiers, claims to be discriminated against to get things for free, and has no manners whatsoever, whilst I aim to be polite at all times. I can't stand her. I don't know what to do. It's almost a deal breaker. I refuse to pay for her to live, and have thought more than once about reporting her to.animal control but I think her house would be condemned and then shed live with us. Help

Why does every single teenager on here talk about suicide and depression or cutting themselves, or that their fat or insecure or etc. How do you address that? Why are these people so depressed, I was happy I had so many opportunities when I was a teenager, sure I was insecure, but really, what is wrongs with America's youth? I can't sign on Answers without seeing a kid post about cutting themselves. Why?

I've done all my piercings myself, tongue, belly button, three in each earlobe(the belly button I used ky friends piercing tool and he guided me through the process, and the tongue was under supervision as well) and I want to know where is the safest place on the ear's cartlidge to pierce, and what gage needle should I use? Just professional answers please, I like to do my own piercings because if anyone's going to touch or alter my body in anyway but surgery, its going to be me.

Okay. I've dates men of different races, that doesn't matter to me. Lately a coworker has been hitting on me and asked me out. I said no, I'm not attracted to him or interested, I said it nicely but he took it badly. He called me rascist against hispanics for not dating and told other guys at the restaurant that I won't date any Hispanic men because I'm racist. What?! I'm in no way rascist, in fact rascism makes me angry as a black woman and has affected my life personally. Why does he assume that I'm rascist because I won't date him? We have literally nothing in common, I'm not attracted to him at all and he is teen years older than I. How do I save face in addressing this, I don't want to be called a fascist but at the same time I can't help.who I am and am not attracted to just like any one else.

My EVO simply will not pair with the Iphone. Well actually, it says it will pair but the IPhone won't accept the device. Every other phone pairs fine with it, and the Android bump works fine. Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I want to share videos over 25 mb to ny brother but can't email them, and Bluetooth or android bump has worked for it with other phones, but not his iPhone. Do iPhones just suck that much?

Okay. I live in a nicer neighborhood, work hard for living,but stay up late due to my hours. I'm often outside on my phone to not disturb my roommates and lately a neighbor has been wandering the alley late at night, drunk and stammering to himself. I don't find him harmful, he's pretty nice, and I don't want to have to call the cops but this behavior is really weird and creepy. How should I address it? He's older, drinks a lot, retired and lives down the street from me. Were not close but I always say hello to him in the mornings. I'm worried he may be up to no good.

I broke up with my boyfriend of threw years, and have kinda lost a lot of mutual long term friends as a result. how do I go about making new one?

What purpose does it serve, for me it seems counterproductive as it's darker earlier.

Who was your favorite friends character, and why?

Does anyone else find the insecurity of this ridiculous? I think all women are beautiful, but women berating each other with oh only a dog likes bones is stupid. I'm a tall thin woman, and have been called anorexic, too thin and twig my whole life, so I don't want to hear oh now you know how it feels to be mocked about tour weight. I think its a dumb trend to get women to hate one another. My question is why do they feel so insecure? God made us beautiful the way we are be it skinny, curvy, tall, fat short and everything in between.
