Why does my husband call me a bitch? Because he lacks respect for you, which, by the way, is HIS issue, not yours. Just because someone doesn't respect you doesn't mean you are not respectable. It just means that you have someone in your life who is trying to control you through the tools of oppression. My suggestion, not that you asked for it, is to COMPLETELY ignore him when he talks to you that way. Respond to him...

One last question before I hit the sack... have you ever heard this... ''Good Night, Dont let the bed bugs bite''? Anyone know if this actually has a meaning? Yes it does. You have a lot more company in bed than you could ever possibly imagine. That's why it's good to wash your bedding at least once a week or more often and those sanitized mattress bags are a good idea to suffocate/starve the little critters. Your mattress goes inside the bag, you seal it up and hopefully all the little blood suckers stay trapped inside where they...

Answer to:
Why do people say, "OK", to themselves when they position themselves in front of something they are about to handle, such as a sandwich or a small task or the beginning of an important conversation, as though the world had better pay attention? I think it's because they have made a decision to take some kind of action and giving it the "verbal" "okay" is a self-actualizer that the commitment to action is about to commence. Sort of like we say, "Ready, set, go!" at the beginning of races.

Or even worse - flirting with another woman and acting on a return of flirtation from the other woman. Some men like to "test the waters" just to find out if they "still have it" and it's a...

What is this about?: WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans born after Dec. 1, 1964, will have to get more secure driver's licenses in the next six years under ambitious post-9/11 security rules to be unveiled Friday by federal officials. It's so easy to manufacture fake ids in the United States. Each state has a different format so someone using an "out of state" fake id has it even easier yet. I think we should have gone with a Federal driver's license/id years ago, but the individual states did not want to give up all their DMV revenue. In a few years even people born before that Dec 1, 1964 date will...

Is it a fashion for girls to wear your watch on the right wrist nowadays? I see more and more teenagers do this? My parents gave me my first watch on my 6th birthday and I've always worn it on my right wrist even though I'm right-handed. (Right-handed people usually wear their watches on their left wrists.)

I have gotten nothing but honesty @ AB which is why I'm gonna ask this question. Would all of you be more or less critical of O.J Simpson if he was Caucasian and not African-American? O.J. is a murderer, plain and simple. It doesn't matter what his race is and I would be every bit as critical of him if he were Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian or any other ethnicity you care to name. I knew Nicole Brown and she was a truly sweet person.

Do you like or dislike the Walt Disney Company? Why? I'm luke-warm on Disney. I like some of their stuff, but, overall I think they are guilty of overmarketing themselves. I have to say that Disneyland in CA is, in my opinion, getting pretty run down. And, I think it's fair for me to say that because I first went there over 30 years ago when it was in better shape.

Our recycling bins have always had more in them than our garbage can. We also do green waste too so that doesn't get added into landfills either.

If promiscuous women are "sluts", what is a promiscuous man called? The same thing, if you apply the same standard to both. In either case, both are probably unable to bond and become emotionally intimate. Having sex is not the same thing as making love.

Women in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona, world-famous for its ferocious bull-running festival, are demanding their own version complete with cows instead of bulls. Is this a case of equal rights or animal cruelty or a bit of both? Oh, why shouldn't women have an equal right to participate in a classic case of animal cruelty? It's such fun. Plus, some obscure female writer would have the opportunity to launch her literary career by writing about it, just like Hemingway did with Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises. Now, back in the day, this was the method used to lure the bulls down to the bullring where they were...

Veteran human rights activist Judith Todd has revealed she was raped on the orders of Robert Mugabe's government. Why is rape an accepted political tool? Is rape ever really acceptable? I think it's an inhumane behaviour practiced solely to humiliate and dominate the victim. I truly believe there is something seriously, sadly and unfixably wrong with any person who would debase another human being in such a manner.

Answer to:
Muscular young men are likely to have more sex partners than their less-chiselled peers, researchers at the University of California Los Angeles said on Monday. Do you agree with this? I agree to a degree. I think being muscular along with having other physically attractive traits (ie. a handsome face) would be part of a package that would attract sexual partners. I don't think that sexual partners go for just the body alone.

Is it true that Islamic women have to cover themselves because it's believed that all men are inherently rapists, and therefore the women must take control of their chastity because men can't control themselves? That's pretty much my understanding. A friend left years ago to work in the United Arab Emirates. While there she dated a man, converted from being Catholic to Muslim, became a 2nd or 3rd wife (no one ever really knew for sure), had three children, returned to her family and secretly had her tubes tied with their help as this type of operation is apparently illegal in Muslim countries...

If you had a teenaged child (over 17 years of age) that confided to you that he is gay and your spouse threatened to disown him and kick him out because of this, would kicking this spouse to the curb (out of the house permenantly) be a bad thing? I would hope that your family would consider counseling. It is hard to have families come apart. No one should be "kicking" anyone out of their home and hearth. However, if your spouse is unable and/or unwilling to love and accept your son as he is and forces you to make a choice between him and your child because your child is gay -- as a mom, I believe that your chioce is your...

Do you regard someone who was raped as "Damaged Goods"? Rape is an act of violence -- like any other crime against a person.

The survivor of the attack is deserving of consideration and positive support -- absolutely no negative labels at any...

I wouldn't pay off anyone's debt as a general rule with the exception being if debt was incurred due to medical or catastrophic circumstances.

What is the most insulting gift a woman can recieve from her mother-in-law? Mother-in-Law gifts are the worst.

Should women change their names when marrying? To what purpose? It's not like they need a "new" identity when they get married any more than men do. Brides are the same people before and after a wedding ceremony same as Grooms. When two people get married they remain separate individuals who have chosen to form a union as a "couple." (Couple is defined as "two" of something.)

Depends on what your body's normal elimination rhythm is, but from your reference to constipation it sounds to me like you are experiencing distress. If your distress level is low, try Colace (an over-the-counter stool softener) and lots of water. If your distress level is moderate or high, get to your doctor.
