What is the "appeal"?

I am going to scream if I read one more question from a woman who's shacked up or married a guy (and had 1-4 kids) that plays WOW, lives on the sofa watching TV, drinks too much and/or smokes weed, etc.

Seriously ladies, he did these things BEFORE you married and/or bred, what made you think (if you did think) he would magically turn into a responsible adult?

Why create a prison for yourself when it is so avoidable?

I need to send a letter to company that designs our website. They never return phone calls on time, ignore our e-mails, never update our site in a timely manner, constantly make excuses for never completing requests, complain and make our company feel like we are too demanding.

I need to send them a letter that objectively states why we no longer require their services. I need the letter to be thorough yet kind without "beating them down".

I searched the Internet for a "boilerplate" type letter but the only thing I came across are resignation letters.

Can anyone suggest verbiage that is kind yet thorough?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, as I have never written this type of letter before. Thanks!

Some people complain about the shop minimum being $40-$60 (depending on the location of the tattoo shop).

Does everyone understand that besides paying the artist's commission, we have bills to pay like:

rent

electricity

Internet

heat

liability insurance

renters insurance

supplies (gloves, disposable needles, needle bags, tube bags, ink caps, lap clothes, stretcher sheets, pillow cases, meat pads, tape, paper towels, etc.)

copier lease

autoclaves ($7,000 each)

ATS (contract and tests for autoclave)

Office help (who does payroll, payables, inventory, ordering, etc.)

Art supplies

Purchasing new flash

Marketing/Advertising

Computer upgrades

Office supplies

And a million other things?

We have overhead. There is a minimum set to justify our overhead.

Does anyone have a spouse that spends too much time watching TV and/or video games and/or the Internet?

If so, do you think he/she could give up one or more?

At all my family's parties/holiday gatherings, we always have a pickle/olive tray. It consists of:

gherkins

sliced bread and butter pickles

pitted black olives

green olives

kalamata olives

The reason I ask is, this past Christmas, my brother's girlfriend was intrigued by this pickle/olive tray. So was my friend from Montana.

Do you have a pickle/olive tray at your parties/gatherings?

And how important do you think having age appropriate chores are to raising a responsible adult?

When I was growing up, I had a list of AGE APPROPRIATE chores to complete on a daily and weekly basis. As I aged, more responsibilities were added such as assisting mom with budgeting, meal planning, creating the food shopping list and going food shopping. On the weekends I had to complete my chores before leaving the house.

Of course as a normal teenager I was annoyed at the time with mom, but in the long run I feel that the structure and chores can make a responsible adult. My husband is very proud that the house is almost always clean, I cook home made meals about 95% of the time and our bills are paid in a timely manner.

Your responses are greatly appreciated.

How much do you pay in federal and local taxes?

What country are you from?

We pay 30% in federal and local taxes and we are from the US.

Why do some people insist on showing off poorly done tattoos AND boasting about how little money they paid?

I work in a tattoo studio. Sometimes after quoting a tattoo for a potential client, the potential client gives a shocked expression at the price. He/she then proceeds to show me a large existing tattoo. Their existing tattoo is just AWFUL. Crooked lines, blow outs, faint lines, colors that just don't blend, lines that don't connect, etc. Then he/she proudly boasts, "Yeah. And I only paid seventy bucks for it!"

And I'm looking at their tattoo and thinking, 'Yes. And it shows. I can't believe you actually paid money for that.'

I remember collecting these when I was a young girl. They used to be laying all over the train stations in Philadelphia. I specifically remember the one above because I had Mormon friends.

And this one didn't sit well in my parent's (Catholic) home!

I was trying to answer the question about crime and race and it was deleted.

Instead of emotional, subjective reactions, why not try a rational, objective response?

Do you know how to gain all this extra time?

Stop watching so much TV. I asked how many hours per day people watched TV. Fourteen people answered. The average time was 1.75 hours per day which equals about 26 days. That's over THREE WEEKS! Feel like you are too busy for this and that? Stop spending 12+ hours per week infront of the TV.

So, what would you do with this extra time?

On average, about how many hours per day do you watch TV?

Thanks!

Is there a commercial or advertisement that makes you cry?

Mine is the ASPCA commercial. I get a lump in my throat and cry. It catches me off guard, no matter how many times I've watched it. It shows a series of rescued animals with the song, "Arms Of An Angel" by Sarah McLachlan playing in the background.

Too frequently in Yahoo Answers, during social events and just overhearing polite conversations, I hear that spouses are not allowed to attend functions, engage in activities and/or purchase items because the other spouse won't "let them".

It's disturbing to read a grown man type (in another question), "...I have asked wife several times to go out, and she refuses to, but she also refuses to let me go out and join her best friend and her husband."

Your spouse is your spouse, not your parent! What is this persmission thing? Does this apply to your marriage? Is this really that common?

If my husband wants to have a drink, go fishing, hunting, hang out with friends, etc. he doesn't ask my permission and vice versa!

Anyone?

And yes, your private island will have electricity and a DVD player!

You can only take 10 movies to watch forever and ever. Which 10 movies would you take?

Do you have a suggestion for something that sounds gross but actually tastes good?

Mine is toasted bread with peanut butter, a slice of ripe red tomato and sprinkle with a light coating of black pepper. Trust me, I know it sounds awful, but it's REALLY good, especially if the tomato is garden fresh.

Your ideas?

If so, are you married? How long have you been married? Do family, friends and aquaintences still ask "When are you going to have kids?" How do you respond when someone patronizes by saying, "Oh, you'll change your mind."?
