If your daughter was kidnapped by a street gang (that does not use guns, except for its wheelchair-bound leader), would you get her black belt knife-fighter boyfriend and the Converse sneaker wearing ninja who is boarding at your house to rescue her? Nope, I would get her ass-kickin, fire-breathing father to find her and deal with the kidnappers. No one would be better qualified to handle it.

Which is more necessary for the soul, giving or receiving, or are they equal? For me personally, giving and being of service to others brings purpose and a feeling of closeness to a higher power/God/whatever you choose to call it. I must admit though, that receiving love and compassion has literally helped me survive my whole life. Even little bits of it is huge. So I guess I believe an ounce of love received is equal to a ton of giving. Both are necessary for me.

Is there a trick to getting open an old bottle of hobby paint where the paint has dried on the lip of the bottle and sealed it shut. Should be the same as an other sealed bottle or can, you need to break the seal. Take a butter knife, turn it upside down and wrap the edge of the cap several times around the upper edge. If that doesn't work, then soak it in hot water and try it again. Good luck.

All winter I have a dry crusty nose. The discomfort even wakes me up at night. I'm not sick, just sick of this! I've heard Vaseline is a no-no on mucous membranes (petroleum-based). Any ideas for home remedies to stop this? Use a humidifier in your room at night and place a bowl of water near heating vents. Use saline nasal spray to moisten your nostrils and drink lots more water. Also, use tissue with lotion on your nose. Good luck!

By doing this you show her that she can come to you with something that she feels is important, and you will be able to show her support in a caring loving manner.

Are you a tidy or a messy sleeper? (messy meaning quilt tangled up and pillows pushed into partners face etc) Well, I'm somewhere in between. I turn from side to side all night long and have to rearrange pillows every time I turn. I don't really get tangled up, and I tend to stay on my own side, but I must admit that I'm a total spaz!

Even if she doesn't know what's going on, he is hurting her. He isn't/hasn't been fully present with her and sounds as if he is going to hurt her eventually anyway. Also, by lying to her in an attempt 'not to hurt her again' he is just dragging the pain out that much further....

Why would a person care so much about a friend even after finding out the friend wasn't a true friend? Why do some people take friendships more serious than others?

However, it doesn't sound like that's what you're talking about here. There are times in life when you have to remove yourself from a relationship (for whatever reasons) because you...

The only thing that I would change now if I could would be to move all my friends and family closer to me, so we could spend more time together.

Brewing coffee correctly in order to get the best results requires a specific recipe, brew temperature, brew time and turbulence. Brew temperature is achieved during the brewing process at the time the water is introduced to the coffee grounds. Using a brewer with a secondary heating element ruins the coffee by continuing to heat the coffee beyond the...

How about an "Audience Strike" - we don't watch until writers and the whole entertainment industry stop recycling stories and premises and start creating meaningful, well-written, acted, and produced shows and movies that don't debase our culture I would think that a public boycott of the advertised products might get you better results :)

When suffering from anxiety what is a good drink to have in a pub? Avoiding alcohol and too much sugar. Tonic water has sugar, but less than soda. It's good with a lime. This is my favorite to order in a bar when I'm not drinking alcohol. You could also have a seltzer water with lemon if you wanted to avoid sugar. Of course the lemon has natural sugars, but not much in a small slice.

How often do you go out? I leave the house several times a day, doing chores, running errands, playing with the kids, talking walks. We have a family out every Saturday and Sunday. We don't eat out very often because the little ones are too wild (our older kids were a lot easier in restaurants), so we just don't enjoy it much. As far as night life is concerned, we don't go out often. I will...

Should you have to "make" your relationship work, or should it just work by itself with little effort from those involved? I think that every good relationship goes through rough patches at times. Sometimes it's a lot of work and other times it just works by itself. We are flawed naturally, so we will make mistakes. I think a good relationship proves itself under the most stressful circumstances and on the other side you have a mutual pride of success. Last, a very good relationship is a work in...

In the morning, your partner wants sexual relations. If you agree, you will be late for work. What do you do?

I apologize when I realize that I'm wrong, despite the outcome, I believe that I have a responsibility to myself and others to admit when I am wrong, apologize and try to do things differently when possible. People do not always accept an apology, but that's not a good enough reason for me stay stuck in an angry or stubborn place.

Do you agree that sex outside of love is just sex? I would agree with that. However, my take on sex is much more liberal and relaxed than most that I know.

I feel like I'm discovering that no matter how things are going and how you feel, it always makes you feel better to help somebody in some way. Do you find that to be true too? I'm not sure about 'feeling better', but I consider service to others a form of prayer for myself. I would say that it does help me to feel connected, spiritually and emotionally to others and to my higher power.

There are no clear cut rules, but I think that most of us agree that it is acceptable to give some direction as to where someone can get homework help. For example, siting resources and web sites for research into the topic of the particular question. It is also acceptable to engage in discussion on such topics if someone really wanted to take the time to help. However, just providing answers...

What are some good jobs out there? I need a job and out of ideas. I once worked for an airline, in a land based position. It wasn't the BEST paying job (it wasn't the worst either), but you get to travel for free. If you work your way into management the pay does get better. I will mention this though, airline jobs can be very high stress, so they're not for everyone!

How do you break a curse? I'm feeling that I am either cursed or some bad karma moved in. I keep getting hit by problem after problem. It's hard to sleep & even harder to face each day. To break a curse, or bad luck: Release a live cricket inside your house. They bring good luck. You can also burn sage and let a bit of the smoke into each room. Last, in your mind, create a circle of white light around yourself, this is done for protection. As for Karma, you'll need to do good and selfless things for others, especially those in need.

Answer to:
From a man's point of view, what part of a women's body is the sexiest? and why. I think that womens breasts are incredibly sexy and just beautiful. They are just fragile and soft and very sensitive to the touch. If you touch a woman's breast just the right way, she will melt for you.

Answer to:
Does anyone here know or has met a famous person? If yes, who? I've had too many to count. Mostly, it's no different than an encounter with anyone else. I guess there are people who I'd love to be able to acknowledge face to face, and tell them how much I appreciate their work, but in the end, fame and fashion on it's own doesn't impress me a bit.

Answer to:
Do you respect people who go to bed with you on the first date? Sure. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with casual sex between two single, consenting adults, if both people understand that that's what it is.

Answer to:
How could men get away without paying child support? It just happens sometimes. Some men work under the table for years in order to avoid it, and learn how to dodge the law and the system, others just intimidate women into not enforcing it... Lots of ways... How can they live with themselves, or sleep at night? That is the thing that I will never understand!

Answer to:
What is the best thing for a headache? I agree with Nelson, it depends on what kind of headache it is. I'll assume it's nothing serious and give a few suggestions: If it's just a mild headache, then try massaging your scalp. If you think it may be the onset of a migrane, then take a couple of ibuprofen and drink a coke. This works to head it off! A sinus headache can be nursed with hot tea with lemon, or simply...
