Kate

I need to know if it's reasonable for me to be angry at him. He claims it's not, but I think it is.

About 3 years ago he had a fling with a younger girl (by about 5 years) behind my back (yes, he cheated). Long story short, I forgave him and we moved on. They didn't talk for a while. He recently started talking to her again "as friends" and she has a serious boyfriend now. I just found out they were talking again and asked to see their conversation. He said no, and that it's "none of my business."

I'm pissed and suspicious. Am i overreacting?

My cat is about 6 months old, and he is male. He has been described as "a big baby".

The downside is, he won't eat his food unless I am staring at him. Yes, staring. He turns around and checks, and if I leave the room or look somewhere else, he will cry until I look back at him. He has done this since I got him at 9 weeks old. He also cries outside of my door at night, but I can't have him in my bedroom, unfortunately.

The problem is, 2 days out of the week, I am gone for upwards of 14 hours a time. During the rest of the week, it may only be 4-5 hours at a time. He gets plenty of attention. But during those 14 hour days, which are unavoidable, he doesn't eat until I get home, and cries if I go to bed right away, because he "can't eat".

Recently, he has started doing this with his litter box as well. He will paw around in it frantically, scoop litter out of the sides, and scratch at the walls next to it, until I come watch him. Then he will relieve himself.

If I'm not home to do this, he will pee on any clothes or pillows that are lying around, rather than use his box. And before you suggest it, I keep the litter meticulously clean.

I love him to death, but I need help with this picky and neurotic cat, please?

I am getting a little desperate here. For some background info, I have medium-long dyed hair (it was dyed by a professional so the damage is minimal), and I use a deep moisture conditioner every time I wash my hair, which is 3-4 times a week. My hair is fine, but I have a LOT of it. It is naturally wavy, bordering on curly, and I straighten it maybe once a week. I also condition it with coconut oil occasionally, but I have to only use it on the ends and wash it out completely because my roots get naturally VERY oily.

My problem is, I have tried so many different products and nothing seems to make it seem "skinnier", smooth, and visibly shiny. It always seems like I'm in the middle of a humid summer, even when the air is dry.

Hoping someone can offer me a tip on how to make my hair soft and manageable.

I am a 21 year old female working at a fast food chain restaurant. I have been working there for 8 months or so.

Lately, I have been really bothered by my male coworker's comments and flirtations towards me. He is around 40 and was previously married and has two kids. He is well-liked in our workplace and has a very friendly/flirtatious personality. However, most of his flirtation seems to be directed at me. He will hug me or put his arm around my shoulders (for way longer than is ok) when I first get there and say "Hey sexy, how you doing?" I have been responding lukewarmly. He will also make comments about my appearance if I come in on my days off, like "Wowww, you look great, where you going after this?" (I will tell him the truth--I'm going out with my boyfriend). I mention my boyfriend at every given opportunity, and he still hasn't gotten the picture.

I think part of the issue is that he doesn't mean anything by it...but it still makes me extremely uncomfortable because I am in a relationship, he is older, and it happens every day.

I want to know if I should address the matter directly with him (if so, how should I word it?), or if I should go directly to my manager? I don't want to act unfairly because I haven't directly told him I don't appreciate the attention, and ultimately, he is a nice person. (Yes, I know I sound like a pushover but it's because my personality is completely different at work..I don't like making waves. if it was outside work, I would have chewed him out already)

Please help. I am on the verge of quitting my job, and I can't afford to do that.

I got a $105 ticket in Michigan (Kent County) for expired registration. I already tried having a hearing to have it dismissed because it wasn't my vehicle, but they didn't dismiss the ticket. They said I had 10 days to pay the ticket before I would be charged a $25 late fee, but I don't have the money to pay it right now. I've heard that my license can be suspended if I don't pay my ticket for a certain amount of time on top of the late fee, but I need to know how long that will be. I would rather wait and pay the $25 fee when I can afford it, but I want to avoid having my license suspended (obviously).

I have a Toshiba Laptop with a Windows 8 operating system. The Sims 3 has been running fine for the past week since I installed it, but just today it has stopped opening when I put the disk in. The disk will spin and make noise in the disk drive like usual, but when I click the icon or right-click and click "Open", the game will not launch. Nothing even comes up. What can I do to make the game come up again? I didn't change anything in the game settings.

I have a phone from Straight Talk through Wal-Mart, and I want to use a prepaid plan from another company (Cricket Wireless, something similar, I haven't decided yet) because I don't need unlimited minutes and several other companies I've seen offer unlimited text and data and limited minutes for less than I'm paying. Will my Straight Talk phone be compatible with any other carriers?
