I have a tall, 2 door white cabinet in my kitchen for storage and only the doors have yellowed...not the rest of the cabinet. If I paint them I think it would streak. I've thought of contact paper but am a bit leery. Does anyone have any good ideas? I live in an apartment so I cannot sand them. Thanks.

I'm in a quandary whether to buy 4 or 6 drapery panels for my sliding doors. They slide from right to left and I've measured them at 106 inches. The drapes I want are 54 inches wide. I will be hanging them with drapery rings. Will someone with more knowledge about this than me please help me with this. Thank you so much.

I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive, just picky or what. I have 2 grandsons age 7 and 10 and every time they come over they go right to my refrigerator and begin asking for things and eating whatever they can find. I live on Social Security and have a VERY limited grocery budget. Many times they have just eaten, but they still do it. They also go into my bedroom and it makes me nervous because after they leave, I can see they've been in my drawers and other things. I disciplined them once and my daughter in law didn't speak to me for almost a year. It took me a very long time to finely find out from my son that it was because I disciplined the boys. I had them over for dinner, spent a LOT of time making a meal I knew the kids and adults would like and my younger grandson wouldn't eat and kept asking for hamburger. When I said I didn't have any, he said "YES you do!"....(I didn't) What I said was "when you go to someones home to eat, you should eat what's put in front of you." Evidently this made her angry. I have never, EVER given her advice on raising the boys or said anything negative to her at all about disciplining them. I never do that to them or my daughter's children. It's THEIR children and I've already done my job...it's their turn now. That is the only time I've ever said anything, but it was just getting very irritating. We never even got to visit that night because the youngest one grabbed all the attention by wanting things I didn't have.

Maybe it's just me and a different generation, but my children knew NOT to get into other people's things, go into other rooms and NEVER, EVER to open someones refrigerator.....even their grandmother's. It's gotten to where I almost hate to know they are coming over with my son. I live in a senior citizen building and they ran through the halls, went up and down the elevator and ran up and down the stairs. I know because they came back in and told us what they'd been doing and their mom just smiled. There are rules here and that's not allowed but I was afraid to say anything for fear I'd make her mad. I just don't know how to handle this delicately, but I think I have a right to have rules too. What do you all think and how would you handle this? Thank you.

I watched the movie "Suburban Madness" based on the true story of the woman who ran over her cheating orthodontist husband several times with her van and killed him. I was under the impression it was either made into a book by Nora Roberts or the movie was based on a book by her. I can't find any info on the anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, what is the title of the book. I'd love to read it. Thanks

I watched "The Passion of Christ" last night that a friend gave me. He told me it starts in the Garden of Eden and goes all through Jesus' life and through His crucifixion. He said the movie he saw began in the garden, showed the serpent talking to Eve, Jesus' life as a boy and went all the way up through his crucifixion....but that's not what the movie by Mel Gibson was that I saw. My friend said he knows it was all one movie because he went to the theater to see it and it was so long they had to have an intermission in the middle. The one I watched was only 2 hours long.

Does anyone know of a movie out there that is like the one described to me? I would love to get it and watch it. Thanks.

Hello:

I've been in an intimate relationship with a man for almost 6 years...I'm 68 & he's 81. It's been a very fun time and we've been very close. But, we've taken a bit of a break...I've been a bit bored with doing the same things all the time. We were talking on the phone last night and his daughter-in-law called through. He called me back to share the Super Bowl on the phone together and he told me what they said on the phone....she called to see how he was doing (he said). He said he "was kidding" with his daughter-in-law on the phone when she said she saw him at Walgreen's and what was he doing. He said to her "I was buying you a bra and panties for Valentine's Day."....and he laughed. I am not a prude in ANY way....but I don't think this is appropriate conversation for a father-in-law OR between him and ANY woman really....especially a family member. I would NEVER talk this way to my daughter's husband. I've also heard him say things to his grandson's wife that I would NEVER say to a family member....not 'dirty'....just suggestive kidding (in my opinion). I've known this man for years, so it's not like I've only known him for this 6 years. Am I just being jealous or 'choking on gnats' or am I on target? Just wanted some other opinions...and I haven't said anything to him about it. I laughed too...but really didn't think it was funny. This is really bugging me. I want a man with values....not a 'dirty old man'. But, his daughter doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of talk....she says it's just in fun. Maybe I've just had a different way of having "family fun" than talk like that. I think my kids would definitely REALLY say something harsh to me if I EVER joked in this way to my family. What do you all think about this? Thank you!!!
