The time may come when you will have to step up and take over for your parents...take away the car keys, involve yourself in their financial affairs, and guide them as they guided you long ago. Are you prepared for that and can you handle that? The time has come -- it actually started coming 8 years ago when my mother was diagnosed with fallopian tube cancer at the age of 62. Not only was my mother very sick after the surgery and during the five years of chemo before she died but my dad had a tough time coping with it -- he was 17 years older than she and had never imagined he'd have to take care of her, more the other way...

Im 16 coming up 17 and my mum has never gave me any 'talks' about sex, drugs or anything.

How do you spell the name of the autocrat of Russia before the communist revolution in 1918: should it be Tzar or Czar and I don't care what any dictionary tells you either?

You have to resort to a phonetic approximation, which is then up to interpretation, which tends to change over time. Beijing used to be called Peking -- the name of the city didn't change, just the accepted English...

Mom died almost three years ago,...

It's probably why she doesn't have any friends -- if we knew who she was she'd have to kill us.

Is there any way to estimate how much my car insurance will go down when I turn 25? You could call and ask your insurance broker, but it doesn't usually go down a lot for women -- it's guys who pay through the nose because it's assumed (based on claims data, of course) they're doing stupid maneuvers in their youth. About the only plus to turning 25 in the US is that you can rent a car with no problem.

Is it a "member's only" benefit of membership or a "members only" benefit of membership...apostrophe or no? If you're follwing the phrase with the word "benefit" in the sentence (or implying it) then "member" is -- acting as an adjective -- modifying the benefit, which would make it a member's (for one person) or members' (for all the members) benefit. If you are saying that something is for "members only" then there is no apostrophe because then members...

My recourse of last resort (i.e. when I just want to remove the body part to make the itching stop) is to put ice on it. The cold blunts the itch sensation, as well as numbing the area for a while. It also reduces the swelling and inflamation a bit, which makes the itch not as...

As biological matter will decompose no matter where it is (the dump or the compost pile), is recycling biodegradable material worth the effort that some cities put into it?

While future archeologists won't be thrilled, recycling is the only way to reduce the volume of stuff in a landfill.

If he refers to the monies paid out of the business to himself as a "salary", that's fine -- he's the one that who's personal finances are on the line if the...

Everyone always says, "I'll do this when chickens fly". Do you think chickens will ever fly? I've also heard "when donkeys fly", but more often the pigs. My dog has seen a pig fly -- a slice of honeybaked ham accidently flipped off the counter and landed on her back, much to her great joy. And we had just been telling her (and her sad puppy dog eyes) that she'd get a slice of ham when pigs flew!

It is considered one of the triggers for migraine -- I don't know how common it is among all migraine sufferers, but it is known to happen.

Answer to:
Which oft misspelled word annoys you most? Two big ones which can be either a misuse or a misspelling (depending on whether or not I am giving the benefit of the doubt) that drive me nuts are: 1) affect/effect -- you affect something, and the result of that is an effect; and 2) breath/breathe -- a breath is the thing you take into your lungs when you breathe.

Could you live for a long time in any city of the world, if you knew the language? Even more importantly than the language would be how the culture of that city felt about the role of women in the society.

If I were a man, I think I could live most anywhere without problem -- language can be learned when you're...

Guys: given a choice, what do you prefer on a woman - natural breasts even if they're small, or larger fake ones? I'm not a guy, but I'm a lesbian so I'll chime in...natural is always better. Fake, for reasons other than reconstructive surgery, are a huge turn off for me. Breasts should not be a chin rest!

That is the theology that all people (since the fall of Adam) by their human nature are born as sinners. This, however, isn't sin in the sense that they have actively done something wrong, but sin defined as being separate from God.

If you were offered eternal life but you had to give up your sexuality, would it be worth it? Could you live without expressing such a prescious part of yourself?

I can't give up a part of me -- I can't give up being right-handed, or Caucasian, or an introvert. Even if I never had sex again I would still be gay and I wouldn't give that up for anything.

I've known a lot of straight parents who had no business raising a child, but by the default of biology were able to reproduce to their hearts'...

Answer to:
Do you use the terms "gay" or "retarded" to describe things or people you think are dumb, stupid or inferior in some way? I did in grade school, because they were just words to me -- I didn't really think about what it meant. But now, as an adult, I would never use them -- not only because they're inappropriate, but because 1) I'm gay, and 2) my nephew is mentally retarded. That would be insulting myself and my family!

What is the relationship between height and shoe size? For women, it's not necessarily true. It's not unusual for a woman's feet to grow (lengthwise) after giving birth. I know my mother was a size 9 when she got married at age 29, but sometime in her 30s grew to a size 11. She was 5'8" tall. I'm also 5'8", but I wear a size 8. I've never been pregnant and am almost through my 30s, so I think...

Answer to:
I'm sixteen. Will I grow taller than I am right now? Is there anything I can do to increase my height? It's possible you still have growth to come. Both my brother and I were late bloomers (we took after my Dad). At age 16 I was 5'3", but didn't finish growing until I was out of college -- now I'm 5'8" (I'm female). My brother was probably about 5'5" at 16 and now he's over 6 feet tall (he also didn't finish growing until early 20s)....

Have anyone noticed that gasoline prices are lower around holidays? Why? In many states the refining requirements change from summer to winter. Demand for gas is greater in summer because of vacations and must be refined in a more expensive manner to reduce smog in the warm weather and is therefore more expensive. Winter has 1) less driving and 2) less expensive refining requirements, therefore cheaper gasoline.

Are aluminum cans really worth what each can's top claims in Michigan? The last time I paid attention, Indiana's aluminum scrap metal was 65 cents per pound. What am I misunderstanding here?

For example, if I buy a soda for $.65 in California I'm really paying $.60 for the soda and 5 cents as a refundable deposit. When I bring the can to be recycled, I get my 5 cents back, so the $.05 isn't the value of the can, it's just the deposit amount (which could be 1 cent or 1...

Also, counting for inflation, gas isn't any more expensive than it was in the 70's -- it's actually been artificially inexpensive for a number of years.

Do braces make your teeth weak? No, but not taking care of your teeth while you have braces will weaken them.
