I constantly update my appearance hair/nails, lost weight, wear make up etc....I constanly re-invent myself for my husband of 20 yrs..and for my sake- make me feel more feminine/confidence booster. I see many women in stores wearing sweats, tight clothes rolls of fat hanging out, no make up..generally slobbish...and I wonder what is the rush you couldnt make yourself attractive before you ran out the door?

I think its both fault if they are both aware of the situation..but as a society is it more acceptable to blame women more than the man

I see a lot of homewrecker comments in Marriage and Divorce and wonder why it seems the woman is blamed more.......................... just wondering out loud

if not when was the last time you did...I hug my kids everyday and hug my husband everyday ..doesn't it feel oh so good?

we have had a little grey mouse in our house for a month...it came from outside, mouse traps are not working and its now in my daughters room( 2nd time) droppings in the drawer ......help me

my husband wont let me get a cat...afraid the leather couches will get shredded by a cat...I think hubby is a chicken to catch it..wht can I do?

and what is the best way to catch one? 10pts to best answer

HOW DO I CASH A IOU FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA?

BETTER THEY PAY ME IN CHICKENS OR EGGS OR PORK BELLIES!!!

ARNOLD THE TERMINATOR IS RIGHT--

WE ARE PISSED ON/PISSED OFF CALIFORNIA TAX PAYERS!

I live in California....they are going to send us IOU"S instead of Tax refund checks.......usually we end up paying/oweing.......but heck ..I think I will be sending the Tax collectors a IOU ------at least its not evading taxes like these cheats Obama is putting in office.....then maybe I can get a govmnt high level position!.........what do you think?

From what I remember he was being called " The artist formerly known as prince" but no other name/title was given ...so what was that all about ?

I am debating when to toss out the Christmas tree.. My husband wants to leave it up till this weekend.....It is sagging,dried up and ready to go now......should i wait a few more days or just chuck it today ?

( I do have a small potted lighted artificil christmas tree on the kitchen counter)

My son 15 got out of school at 12;30 and i told him if it rained i would pick him up and if no rain for him to walk home - it didnt rain.. now Dad and i dont know where he is ? he is not home and i am freaking out he has been abducted/hurt/somewhere getting high ?

he is not a drug user ....I dont have his friends cell # and he doesnt have a cell phone.....I am trying not to think the worst..but gee.. you think he could have checked in ? I am at work and so is dad

everytime I e-mail my sister and I ask her a question, she will skip the question and never answer it directly if at all and talk about something else...which i find very frustrating and when I repeat and askd the question she says she answered my questions( which she didnt), and with a attitude too !............how more direct can I be ?

what is wrong with her...she is the only person who does this !

yesterday on YA ..some kid wanted instructions on how to smoke pot from a bowl and carb .....When I gave my reply ......asking people not to instruct him..stating he is a beginner pothead.....now I have a violation notice from him.......I guess he doesnt want to be labeled yet but its ok to ask us how to use drugs????????????

My husband has been missing money from his wallet on occasion

different amounts every time .. he insists he had so much money in his wallet ( i never checked )...Blames Son...Son denies it and on several occasions this so called stolen money has appeared in the laundry either in washing machine or dryer ( after he claims he checked )....I dont want to blame my son for stealing .. but on several occasions ,..his stolen money had turned up... sometimes it didnt...This morning my husband asked my son if he took $20 out of his wallet...My husband claims a few dollars were missing a couple of days ago and he didnt say anything to us. I want to believe my Husband .. but his lost money did resurface before ? I dont want to blame my son if he is innocent...( our son has been blamed before for stealing from other family members silly things and it came out he didnt steal anything ..their own child did and blamed him)...I dont want my son labeled a thief if every time he is accused it turns out he is innocent of the charge...do i search his backpak /wallet this afternoon?..............we had done this before when my husband was missing $$ and never found missing $$ in his posession.

help please..............our kids have always asked for money and we have gone out of our way to provide it when necessary and able to.They know if they need $ to ask and we will provide... my husband suggested maybe he is doing drugs? or is borrowing money from kids at school( the other day my son asked me for a dollar to pay back a friend and husband overared him/no secret so i gave it to him and asked him if he owed anyone else any money and he said no.....I have no reason to believe this at all and feel TRAPPED.......... THEY BOTH CANT BE RIGHT.............SOMETHING IS AMISS.......HELP
