Make sure you have all your facts straight and discuss it with him/her in private before doing something publicly. You stand a better chance of getting agreement or a reversal than if you challange publicly right off the bat. Ive handled it both ways and not putting the boss on the spot...

Coins and Stamps. My brother and I used to collect both as kids and it was a something we never out grew. Its a bit more expensive now, but I still collect them when I can.

We had a Zentith 100 and a Compter Based Processor (CBT), back in the mid 80's. It was basically a huge word processor with a printer attached. Thing used to rumble when we printed anything out, but it worked like a charm. The Zenith was a piece of junk compared to it! I also had a...

The present. Its what I have the most control over, what I do and how I act NOW. Doesnt mean I dont try to prepare for things that might happen in the future, but your decisions and actions now can have a big impact on what occurs later.

Im not sure the answer is so simple as frustration. There are conditions like depression that increase the risk of suicide and medications that can definatle cause suicidal tendancies. I find it sad that some people are in such a dark place that they cant see that things can get better and...

Put a pot of coffee on! Then shower and brush my teeth. But the coffee has to come on first. I need that first cup pretty quickly!

I use an exhaust fan. Thankfully, it doesnt get hot enough here to need AC more than once or twice during the summer. When I lived in So Cal, Riverside area, though, AC was a must. Too hot for a fan and too humid for an Evap cooler.

I dont know that we are in the effects of global warming. We were supposed to have global cooling in the 70's, so Im skeptical. You should be a good steward of the environment regardless. I do my best to buy organic and local foods, it supports my local economy, conserves fuel, cuts down on...

For some things, yes. Ive used homeopathic remedies, herbs and aromatherapy with some success. I couldnt tell you why homeopathy works, scientifically it shouldnt, but I use it for sinus and allergy issues and it works like a charm. My son uses aromatherapy for sensory problems and...

Character! That and does he have a job! I prefer smarts to looks (they fade anyway), but really I wanted someone that was going to be around for the bad times as well as the good, someone that made me laugh and challenged me, someone with good values. Im happy to say I found him!

Im a firm believer that children are a privelege, not a right and you shouldnt have kids if you cant afford them. I dont mean just money either. Its about investing time as well. I wasnt ready for that commitment in my 20's, so I used birth control. I was ready in my 30's, and we were more...

My blue jeans. Id rather be wearing jeans than anything else! I also have a flannel shirt that Ive had for years. Its my comfort shirt.

Cant agree with eachother all the time. We argue, but after 20 yrs of being married, its more about the small stuff, little things that irritate each of us, than about matters that really count.

The only thing thats worked for me long term is to reduce calories and increase exercise. It took me 10 months to lose 40 pounds, but Ive kept it off for two yrs by watching my calorie intake (I stay at 1500) and doing moderate exercise at least 3 days a week for 30 min.

Depends on what you are buying. I buy most clothes online, though I stick with brands that I used to buy in stores, so I know they'll fit. Shoes I never buy online. Even with brands Ive bought before, the fit always seems different. I pretty much buy everything else online. Its much more...

Just because they are natural doesnt mean they cant be harmful. We use a lot of herbals and other alternative meds, but do alot of research first. Some things like Uva Ursi and Goldenseal should only be given for 5-10 days at a time and only a few times a year, otherwise it can stress the...

Ill share them with my husband and one or two friends I trust, but generally I try to deal with it on my own. Most of the time, I just need someone to listen and get another perspective.

I have a 7 yr old, so I watch them by default. I like the Disney movies and my son loved Shrek, but Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep are my favorites.

The only way you'll really know is to ask her. As a mom myself, I find it hard to understand, because I would never leave my son, unless I thought I was a danger to him. My husband and I have had our ups and downs in 20 yrs of marriage, but our 7 year old son comes first and he needs both...

I think everyone has the capacity for violence. Some have better control over it than others. For some its simply a matter of exerting some self discipline, but there are those that arent equipped with those controls, because of mental illness and other conditions like dementia and autism.
