Or a whole turkey dinner? If not, the last thing I made by hand was a whole lot of crocheted sweaters for my daughters, nieces and grandsons. Christmas presents last year. I guess I am not crocheting anything this year.

He was a guide in the Maine wilderness, and the deserter happened to be hiding in a cabin when my grandfather came along. I didn&#039;t know him, this happened before I was born, but he&#039;s related to me. A girl I used to...

Would this have a significant impact on your brain?<br /><br />Lexapro can cause withdrawal symptoms, even after just a month. My daughter was on it for a while, and when her depression ended (it was actually a symptom of a more serious disease, Addison&#039;s), she had to wean herself off to prevent the irregular heartbeat she experienced when stopping...

Maybe you are paranoid, or ask questions that irritate other people, but you can&#039;t blame that on the number of points you have.

But when i was 23 I converted to heterosexuality when i became a christian and im now 26 and engaged to a beautifull girl and i was wandering should i tell her im an ex gay or not mention it?<br /><br />This question really hits home with me. My daughter&#039;s best friend in school declared to the world that he was gay at the age of 17. At that time he had never experienced any kind of sexual relationship with either a male or a female. A couple years later my daughter came to me to tell me...

Kitchen countertops and sink, is what I am considering having done.<br /><br />Another update on Lowe&#039;s installation service. At this point in time if someone asks my advice on who to use, I will tell them, DON&#039;T call Lowe&#039;s! After the installation guy finally got here to finish my kitchen, it turned out that he can&#039;t measure, and I would have a 10...

A woman has an abortion (killing her own child)... Not charged for murder... What are your opinions on this?...<br /><br />The fact is, an abortion is legal, forcing a woman to have an abortion is not, especially if the death of her baby comes as a result of her death. I would never have an abortion, but it isn&#039;t my place to tell anyone they can&#039;t have one. Scott Peterson (of Modesto, CA) killed his wife...

If you feel comfortable, give details.<br /><br />I have always been poor. My mother raised 7 kids on waitress wages without child support from my father. My clothes all came from older siblings, who got them from thrift stores. I never thought much about it, and no one really made fun of me for wearing hand-me-down-agains. My kids had it a...

I asked my boyfriend why he didn't defend me and his response was, "My father is just joking. He's always like that." What should I do?<br /><br />I tell my grandson all the time, &quot;It is only a joke if it makes everyone laugh. If you are the only one who thinks it is funny, then it is an insult, not a joke&quot; If your bf doesn&#039;t have guts enough to tell his father to keep his &quot;jokes&quot; to himself, then he is not going...

I have tried knitting, but I am so slow, I get tired of a project before I get it done.

My siblings spend their money and I read them when they are done. If there is a book I want to read and no one else has bought it, I go to the library. The books I do buy usually find their way to one of my siblings&#039; houses.

Doctors are highly educated, but they are not perfect. Sometimes they miss things, or take a wait and see attitude about things.

Some of them had life insurance on them, and were paid off with that. The ones that didn&#039;t were out the money, although they did suggest we should pay those bills. Her estate only consisted of household goods, which went to auction...

He lets me smoke cloves, but he quit smoking cigs about 18 years ago. it really bothers me and I feel like I'm lying to him everytime I light up. How do I tell him w/o him going nuts?<br /><br />I doubt that you are keeping it a secret from him. He is a non smoker, and he can smell smoke on you. Sure, you can eat a mint and maybe mask the smell on your breath, but the smell comes from your lungs, not your mouth. Smoke gets in your clothes and hair, smoking leaves yellow stains on your...

It turns out she had a brain aneurysm, and when they did surgery they irritated her optic nerve, and her eye looks to the side of...

The last one was a 1979 brown Ford LTD that my husband got for $300 at an auction. I told him not to buy it, but he did anyway. The transmission went out shortly after we got it, the starter went out, the passenger door wouldn&#039;t open. He replaced that with a 1992...

Maybe he just doesn&#039;t know what he needs to do, or how to do it. There are men who will never do anything in regard to caring for their babies. My first husband never changed a diaper in his life, or fed a baby. He was good for...

He promised to give me access to money until I get paid again on the first and he is withholding all of it from me. What can I do?<br /><br />I don&#039;t know what the reason is for seperate accounts, that is not something I would do in a marriage. Anyway, did you talk to him about needing the money? Is it something you need to buy for the home? Unless you are willing to give him an ultimatum and stick with it, there really isn&#039;t...

I don&#039;t treat him differently, but I do keep a better eye on him now that I know. He is on medication, so his seizures are controlled (unless he goes through a growth spurt and his dose is then too small), so I don&#039;t worry too much about him.

He wanted to spend all weekend drinking and getting high, instead of taking care of the kids while I worked. When he wasn&#039;t calling me fatass, he was ignoring...

I just am not that interested in tv. There were a couple of shows during the week that I liked to watch, and he usually watched those with me. Now I have my own tv, so if there is something I really want to watch, I can.

In 2002 he finally got up the nerve to contact mom and apologize to her for the things he had done, and then made plans to...

Would I recommend getting married at age 17? No, I wouldn&#039;t. Each person is different, and some 17 yr olds are mature enough to make that decision. He was 18, we were in love.

Kitchen countertops and sink, is what I am considering having done.<br /><br />I have used Lowe&#039;s installation service. While the cost wasn&#039;t unreasonably high, the service sucked.

This is a form of abuse, and is likely to escalate into physical abuse. He can&#039;t possibly have respect for you if he calls you those terrible names. Why would you want to be with someone who talks to you that way?

I would never give someone advice on how to kill themselves, and this is exactly what you are doing. Go to a doctor, get treated for this before your teeth rot, and you starve to death.

If this urinating is unusual, you should take your cat to the vet. Urinary tract infections are common, especially in older cats.

Unfortunately for you, if she keeps the baby, you will likely be paying child support for the next 18 yrs. I recommend you...

If they clean up their member area and get rid of inactive members, their numbers go down. Ads are more than likely sold based on number of members, and number of hits the website gets.

I suppose the same goes for rules. I am not sure what rule you broke, whether it was a school rule, a rule at home, or a rule at work. The thing is, you should always check to see what the rules are before you do anything. That is why most places (or...

I suppose you could adapt this by cutting the toes off some tube socks and wearing those over your elbows. I use Gold Bond Ultimate. It works pretty good, and if you have itchy dry skin,...

Dreaming about your grandma would lead some to believe that you had astrally projected to the other side and visited with her. I do not believe this, but I have read others who...

When my husband had his left leg amputated below the knee, they offered to just take the part of his foot where the bone was infected. He had dealt with infection after infection for 4 yrs. He said, &quot;Can we just take if off below the knee, and save me 4 more years...

I used business cards designed for the printer. I made a cover and inside pages with lines for name, address and phone number. Then I stapled them together. It worked pretty good.

They don&#039;t like the way it looks when you park on your lawn. Front lawn anyway, parking in the backyard is okay.

I had not seen him much during my childhood, and never heard from him when I grew up. Since he and mom divorced, I had seen him maybe 6 times, but once their spouses passed away, Dad got in touch with us again, and apologized for his behavior. Long story short, he and mom remarried...

If all advertising were to be banned, all the great websites (like Answerbag) would cost money. I&#039;d rather look at a few ads as I scroll by than miss out on this and other good websites. Edited to add: I can&#039;t seem to rate anyone right at the moment, sorry.

Are we not supposed to do anything for our own enjoyment if we are responsible? If one prefers to do AB rather than watch tv, it doesn&#039;t make us irresponsible. The answer is, I am responsible, and I do come to AB, so nothing would...

I feel trapped and find it difficult to say 'No,' especially if they act disappointed (even if I can see they are manipulating me.) Any suggestions for standing firm and not buying their product?<br /><br />Why let them in at all? If they are door to door, why answer? Door to door salesmen are not allowed in my city, so they call to make appointments for a salesman to visit. I don&#039;t answer calls that are obviously a telemarketer, or some company that wants to sell me something. If you...

You need to see a doctor, and see what your options are. You can have an abortion, carry the baby to term and give it up for adoption, or keep the baby. It sounds like you don&#039;t want to keep it, and the other 2 options are not an...

There had to be some give somewhere, and I went through all the...

If he is at home, he isn&#039;t at work. Mimes are not mute, they don&#039;t talk as a job. They are allowed to talk on their own time.

Now I am wondering "what if"? How many have had this type of feeling?<br /><br />I played the &quot;what if&quot; game a few times. &quot;What if I hadn&#039;t married the jerk to begin with... what if I could have hung onto him...&quot; To tell you the truth, that game is pretty unproductive, and only allows you to wallow in your self pity. The best thing to do is remember... Sun, 25 Mar 2007 21:05:46 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/581761 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/581726 Yesterday many new comers were begging me for points.Should I rate them up? Is this a problem?<br /><br />I wouldn&#039;t rate them up. The point of the scores is to make it easier (for people doing a search for an answer) to see which one most people thought was better. If the points are given instead of earned, there is no point to having the scoring system. Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:59:07 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/581726 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/581711 Do you proof-read your questions and answers before submitting them. I get put off by questions that have poor spelling on them, and rarely rate answers for the same reasons.<br /><br />I don&#039;t have to check my spelling. I am perfect. Okay, I&#039;m not perfect, and I do try to remember to check the spelling in my answers.

She's very underweight and no matter what I try she frequently refuses to eat. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try?<br /><br />What does the doctor recommend? Her doctor is the first person to discuss this with. Most likely, the child will not starve herself to death. Make sure you give her things she likes to eat, and try not to make a big deal out of her eating. My grandson has a seizure disorder and the medicine he is...

They would break the fence down and tear my laundry off the clothes line. He had some little ones, and they were just learning to butt, and used any available leg to practice on. Besides, they smell bad.

When it starts being more important than going to work, or spending time with your significant other, then you have a problem. I think at first AB is easy to be obsessed with,...

Be sure to read feedback to see how efficient and trustworthy they are. I find it helpful to see what feedback they have left others (it lets you see how they handle an unhappy customer). Never find an item on ebay and then deal...

He points and grunts and his mom figures out what he wants and gives it to him. I told her to make him tell her what he wants. She tells me that its no big deal. is it a big deal? should mind my own?<br /><br />She should have his vision tested. My nephew still wasn&#039;t speaking much at the age of 3, so his doctor said he needed his eyes tested. He needed glasses, and once he could see, his speech improved immensly. He also went to speech therapy where he learned sign language, which I understand...

I don&#039;t know if other places do the same, or if that has to do with how cops became associated with donuts.

I looked again and he definately had a penis?<br /><br />I don&#039;t know about rabbits, but I suppose it is possible. I had a cat that had 3 boy kittens. My daughters took 2 of them, when it came time to have them neutered, one of them only had one testicle, the other had one undescended testicle that was the size of a fingernail. The vet explored...

Either that, or he will deny you and he ever happened, that you made it all up and he barely knows you. That is what happened...

Just because you are not virgins doesn&#039;t mean you have to have sex with each other right away. It is good to take your time with the relationship, get to know each other first.
