It&#039;s a serious commitment and entering and exiting should not be as easy as it is.

We went to buy an old motorhome the other week but it was not a keeper. Instead we chose a caravan, hooked it up and drove off. The car broke down on the road side, water steaming from the gaskets.

I think he&#039;s slightly monkeyish, although he does have pretty eyes. I&#039;ve always had a soft spot for donald sutherland and I don&#039;t think many would fancy him.

I couldn&#039;t wear anything made from manmade fibres as a slip and couldn&#039;t possibly afford silk ones. I think if you wear good quality clothes they make the dress/skirt hang and wear better but...

NOTHING seems worthwhile. The ONLY three things that seems to make me happy is music, weed and my girlfriend...whats going on? depression? addiction? or just part of growing up.<br /><br />My fella was well into the weed in his early twenties and his lovely friends stuck around all through that period. They tell me now he was boring, uncommunicative and a pain in the rear when he smoked all the time. He lost at least one girlfriend becuase of weed. It doesn&#039;t upset everyone...

Musicians get a feel for music as their ability and understanding of it develops; they acquire a taste for various genres just as listeners do. It is the genre that they feel most drawn to that they usually end up trying to create...

My parents used to do this when we were small and on holiday, I wouldn&#039;t do it but it&#039;s really an individual choice. People lose children in market places and shops. Little Jamie Bulger was with his mummy when he was stolen...

What should I do? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/833941 I have a 3-4 year old toshiba projection 51" tv yesterday it shut off by itself and when i try to turn it back on the power light blinks. Every once in a while it will turn on but about 30min-1hr it turns off again. What should I do?<br /><br />I only know a small amount about such things but power shutting off after a short while and not turning back on for a bit would point to overheating and a safety cutout.

Sorry to be a sourpuss. In birmingham uk a lot of these bays have been turned into disabled/family parking bays. On a saturday most everyone is a family. Families need not...

What can I substitute? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/830121 I've run out of laundry detergent. What can I substitute?<br /><br />Don&#039;t use washing up liquid, whatever you decide, not unless you want to be mopping suds up. I think I&#039;d prewash and wash. If you really feel you want detergent you could handwash with washing up liquid and rinse and spin in the washer.

She has very bad teeth and cant eat dry food. We don't have the money to bring her to a vet. Does anybody know of anything that will help?<br /><br />Your cat is effectively starving. You have to find a solution, I&#039;m sure you realise how urgent this is. My first stop would be the pet shop/supermarket for some wet food. Kitten food is probably a good place to start as it&#039;s very mushy and has more gravy than normal cat food. If she has...

Regardless of how your ex treated you, you shouldn&#039;t be accepting poor treatment from your current beau.

I&#039;m sure you realise the worry with that as you&#039;ve already contacted your doctors. Even if it&#039;s not sinister you can have it removed safely at your doctor&#039;s surgery.

In instances where a father is a positive role model I&#039;ve often seen similarities in my friends&#039; partners.
