We have a 2-year-old son and my husband is with him full-time while I work full time. I'm in the military and work long and irregular hours. When I come home I'm exhausted and our son would far rather his dad hold him than me. I feel like a third wheel. How can I still have a close relationship with him?

I'm studying Arabic in school and want to be able to watch real-time Arabic news to practice. What's the best way to do this? My internet connection isn't so good so I can't stream it on my computer.

If you live in a country other than the U.S., what do you think of Fox News?

Does anybody know why, or why would you wait that long and still not have gotten it fixed?

My family is replacing most of the meat we eat with beans. I have never really eaten beans and don't know which dry ones to get. We are trying lentils and kidney so far. What are some other healthy beans and which ones should we avoid?

My family has always eaten mostly meat but we are interested in eating healthier and not supporting the meat industry so we are going towards a mostly vegetarian diet. Vegetables are mostly new to us and I bought a bunch of random stuff to throw together. Can someone tell me how healthy these are and if any should be replaced with healthier ones? We don't want to gain weight so I am trying to avoid heavy starches.

-Green and yellow bell peppers

-Eggplant

-Carrots (we eat them raw)

-Cabbage

-Lentil beans

-Baby kidney beans

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I have met all of 2 girls my age (20's) who identified themselves as Republican---one called herself a Liberal Republican (conservative only fiscally) and the other was just really out of touch with most things in life.

Why do you think a young person would opt for Conservative Republicanism?

My cat follows me into the bathroom, watches when I shower, stares at me when I undress... it's starting to really creep me out. He's a boy and I'm female. He never seems to be around until I take off my clothes.

Has anyone else experienced this and what could it be??

Why or why not?

My hair is beautiful but it's thinner than I'd like. I'm a bellydancer and would love to wear it long and loose for performances but it's so fine that I can only wear it short. Can someone tell me how extensions work or is there another option? I'd like to have new hair added in to make my hair fuller and thicker.

How much does it cost? What are the problems you've experienced? How long does it last? Is it hard to wash and wear?

I need some good bellydance music but i really don't like the vintage stuff much... Can anyone recommend some that sounds halfway western?

Trance stuff is fine too and i don't care how fast or slow it is.

I want to do a podcast about languages, I will talk about interesting facts relating to communication. What should it be named? HEEELPPP

My lower abdomen has felt tender and hurts when pressed on since my son was born 16 months ago. It hasn't gotten any better since then and I'm starting to worry. Recently I've been exercising more and standing more and it's been hurting at times when I turn onto my side in bed.

Has anyone else experienced this? I lost my job and then my medicaid health insurance was discontinued by the county, so I can't afford to go to a doctor.
