Do you ever IM or email someone who is sitting a few steps away?

My husband and I do this at night when we are trying to get our daughter to sleep, nursing, quiet time etc. Yes...I love that modern technology sends my message so far, so quickly and right back again!

The answer to this question is different if he is 3 vs. 23. Your approach to discipline should be age appropriate. If you are worried about your sons ability to remember things like his zipper, you should look at information about cognitive development and specifically look at development in boys...the fact is, boys have trouble with this kind of stuff sometimes!...

I had my menstrual in the beginning of april, then i started getting sick in may. then i went to the hospital the day before mothers day may 10th & i found out i was prego. so when did i conceive?

Conception (or the sex act that leads to conception) would be a day or two BEFORE ovulation, the day off ovulation and possibly a day after. So, depending how "early" it was in April, you would have conceived in the middle towards 3/4 of the month. It depends,...

When I blow my nose my front teeth hurt so bad. I can't even stand to touch them. What could be causing this and can it be fixed? It sounds like sinus pressure - yes - you feel it in your teeth.

If the pain persists, worsens or is accompanied with bleeding from the gums etc - see a dentist. Could be an infection in your gums (far less likely than sinuses).

I couldn't get along with my in-laws hence we moved out from there, was it a wrong thing to do. had i stayed there I know they would have broken our marriage. My husband still feels guilty that he left his parents for the sake of his wife and kid. I have to add my voice to the chorus - you and your husband did the right thing. Unless there was some special, extenuating circumstance and his family NEEDED your help and support at home, and you had agreed to it before marrying, there is no reason for him to feel guilty. This is the natural course of growing up. You marry, you move out, you have children and build a family of your own.

I have a direct debit coming out of my bank, say 1st July, but I have insufficient credit at 9.00am in the morning. I bank more than sufficient funds, say at 2.30pm in the same afternoon. Would my bank return my direct debit unpaid? It depends on your bank and when they pull Electronic Debits out - at midnight going in to the date or at the close of business that date or somewhere in between. Also, it depends on when they credit your deposit. One of the two banks/credit unions I use cut off deposits at 2:00 pm (after 2:00 pm, they are credited the next business day). Call your bank and ask.

Simply informing the court clerk before you testify that it is against your beliefs and asking for other arrangements to be made should suffice to protect your civil liberty of religious freedom.

Why are women of all types able to compliment other women so easily, but guys of most types could never compliment a guy? It is just in our nature - women are nuturers. We know how good a compliment feels and we are sort of programmed to give them. Men don't "observe" each other in the same way women do and paying compliments to one another doesn't come as naturally to them. But I do know plenty of men who pay compliments.

Other than filling it with "I love your magazine" quotes, they often have interesting anecdotes, suggestion etc. I think they should fill the pages with CONTENT.

Would you rather gas prices drop to a more reasonable price so you can continue to drive a large vehicle, only to face this enduring fuel shortage later, or would you alter your driving habits and get a significantly more fuel efficient car?

In the DC area, where I lived at the time, they were selling for more than $3,000 OVER the MSRP. I would LOVE to buy a fuel efficient vehicle, but I also can't do with a tiny little bity car.

Answer to:
Can couples in Junior High really be in love? or are they too young to know what love is? They can be in love to the extent that they have the capacity to love. But, no, it is not the same as older couples who have a broader and deeper scope of experience. You need perspective to really love another person and most of us don't have that as adolescents. And those raging hormones tend to cloud your judgement.

Would you let a homosexual babysit your 12 year old boy No. Not because the sitter is homosexual, but because I wouldn't get a sitter for a 12 year old. This question panders to the old myth that all homosexuals are pedofiles. Would you let a heterosexual male babysit your 12 year old daughter?

How do you play tough love in a lesbian relationship? The concept of Tough Love originally had nothing to do with romantic relationships. It was a parenting technique. It evolved in to a family discipline. Even in a romantic relationship, being gay or lesbian would have no impact on it whatsoever. It is about family dynamics and honesty and discipline and difficult choices and consequences for actions.

Honestly, how difficult is it for government officials and people with extreme wealth to stop being so damn selfish and start helping people who are losing their homes to foreclosure, dying due to natural disasters and disease, and otherwise in poverty? If the gov't does a massive mortgage and loan bail out, be aware taxes WILL go up - it has to get paid for somehow. As for people dying in natural disasters??? The Gov't nor the wealthy can impact Acts of God or Nature. I understand your frustration, but just blaming the Gv't an wealthy people isn't enough to affect change. What, realistically do you propose?????

Can a 12 year old date a 14 year old? Most states do not include childen of this age in their consent statutes, but it would depend on the state you live in. Generally, though only 2 years apart - a 14 year old is already in high school and, as such, is more "mature" than a 12 year old. Really, how much "dating" can they do at that age, anyway? As long as they are not having sexual contact with one...

The pelvic sensations felt in the very earliest days of pregnancy are not described as "cramps". Usually, your missed period is the first sign, because earlier signs are so subtle that they are most often overlooked....

Since Obama has apparently basically won the Dem. nomination, will we have to wait ANOTHER 4 years for the LGBT to get their right to marry? Marriage is a states issue.

But that said, I doubt all 50 states will make sweeping recognizations of Gay and Lesbians right to marry anytime soon.

When in your opinion should we lower the US flag, and for whom? The flag is to be flown at half-mast when the President determines that we are in a time of national mourning or when we, as a nation, need to pay respectful homage, such as during a national disaster. I think that IS when it is appropriate. ---- Good question by the way :o)

I bought a 2007 jeep compass last year. It's black and when the sun shines on it the paint looks all smudged, the color looks old and swirls are going though the paint almost like I didn't rinse off the soap. Can someone please tell me whats wrong! I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty in black. It has had the same issue with the paint since it was new. I think it is low quality of clear coat. You can take it to a paint and body place or a custom shop and have better clear coat put on, but be careful not to do anything that will void your warranty.

If in the olden days men were attracted to younger women, then why is it all so wrong now.(if it's natural). im not saying young young, i'm meaning 13+ 13 is still VERY young. But, in past history, it wasn't that men were attracted to young girls, but that the age disparity was greater because a man did not marry until he financially could afford to and he wanted to take a wife who had a number of child bearing years still ahead of her (particularly in agricultural areas where producing sons was a necessity). Our society now...

That said, because you are coming off the pill, it may take a couple of months to work like clockwork. You should wait a couple of months after being on the Pill to try to conceive anyway.

Is there anyway to help get this young man out of prison? He had consentual sex at 17 with two young girls 12 and 14. He was not charged until he was 20 and never was in trouble before. Now he is doing 8 1/2 to 18 years in a state prison for having sex? He isn't in jail for "having sex". He is in jail for statutory rape. A 17 year old having sex with a 12 year old is wrong, even if she consented. A 12 year old is susceptible to undue pressure from someone so much older than her. She is still a child at 12. As for the 14 year old, most states have a formula for the age difference between sexual partners under 18. Perhaps,...

Anyone else annoyed that 'god' and the 'bible' is brought into a court of law- (not an atheist) law is about fact so until proven fact it is fiction...right? Where God and the Bible is brought in to court has nothing to do with the Law. It has to do with the ceremonial and traditional aspects of "swearing to tell the truth". In many places now, you do not need to swear on a bible or to God at all.

Why is marrying a close relation against the law? Surely the only thing that should be against the law is having children with a close relation? There is a risk of undue influence - forcing children to marry within the family usually to retain inheritence rights.

Why do flights to & from Japan pass over the North Pacific, through Alaska and Canada, before arriving in the US? Why aren't they straight shots through the Pacific? There are a couple of reasons. Aviation routes are mapped based on jet streams and airflow so that there is less resistance and, in some cases, actually air flow assistance. Also, flying over land means it is possble to make an emergency landing - less likely over water.

I dive in, cut a very small first bite, act like I am trying to let it cool but really I stuff it in my mouth as soon as I can, get the taste and burn myself so badly that I have to wait a few minutes to eat the rest of the meal. And I never learn from my previous experiences....

Is it wrong for a woman to buy a man a gift after only one date? It depends on the gift. A small token would be fine. Nothing too expensive or with heavily romantic, serious or sexual overtones. If it connects somehow to the date - it makes sense. You told him about a book you read and thought he would enjoy or he told he loved cotton candy so you give him cotton candy. etc etc etc But anything heavier than that may be misinterpreted and/or may make...

True of false: If the US military took a month vacation, and didn't use any oil, we would end up with a glut of oil. The military is the biggest consumer of oil in this country. It would be a mere drop in the bucket. But, if you want to give my husband a month vacaction on the tax payers dime, that's fine by me. Seiously, yes, the military DOES use a lot of oil but 1 month abstinence from oil use would not only NOT give us a "glut" but would also set us back in so many other areas that it would be very costly to recoup from.

My dog is throwing up, more acidic, than food, 4-5 days. First it was carrots, then rawhide bone - those are gone, but he's still throwing up. 1st he was restless at night, now he's shivering. He's eating & drinking. Any ideas? Take him to the vet and have his liver enzymes checked. In the meantime, feed him a simple meal of boiled chicken (white meat) and brown rice. This is easy for them to digest. Avoid rawhide all together from now on. Not only is it chemically treated, but it can bind in dogs intestines and block them. Bad stuff. Try a Kong stuffed with peanut butter instead.

Not much lately with gas prices, but, yes - I do :o) When at song that really gets me going comes on, like an old John Cougar Mellancamp or anything Tom Petty, I will keep driving and singing at the top of my lungs til the song is over. It is a great stress reliever and sometimes I still need to feel that sense of freedom that a good drive with good music can provide. It is easy escapism.

Take the number of hours you work each day and set that aside as "no chore" time. She has her "work" to do then, too. But once you have met your work hours, then it should be shared evenly between the two of you. Designate certain times as work only and certain times as chore time.

I had recently used a clear nexcare bandage on my arm and my skin got irritated from the bandage and now my skin is lighter on where the bandage was. Is there anything I can do to get my skin tone color back to normal or will it come back on it's own? Wash gently with a mild soap like Ivory. Don't cover it again with anything. Give it a few days, the tissue needs to re-oxygenate and get blood back to it. It will be fine, but depending on how long you had the bandage on, it could take a few days. When people have bandages, wraps, braces and casts on for pro-longed periods, it often take a few weeks for the skin to refresh.

My boxer bitch has been spayed but male dogs still find very 'attractive' in fact today one tried to mate with her ,surely the operation would stop this type of behaviour ? Or does she still produce hormones? The "humping" action, mounting from behind etc is also a way for dogs to show dominance over one another. Female dogs will also mount another dog, cat etc when trying to establish superiority. It does not have to do with breeding or mating. Also, yes, while she no longter gives off the scent of being "in heat", she still is a female and males may still be attracted to her.
