Let doctors treat patients in their homes again before laws prevented it. Europe does this- and you pay cash for the visit. Quick-in/out-prescription in hand and off you go to the pharmacy. Serious cases are referred to the hospital where the doctor works during the day.

Answer to:
why are the teabaggers against free health care, when they are too poor to afford health care at the current situation?

It now limits what they can get. (such as eyeglasses)
It's driving doctors away.
And that worries them.

Ever since my family's housecat has been allowed outside he's turned from fluffy and adorable to scraggly and a little frightening. Will he ever be the same cat again?
Outdoor cats don't live as long as indoor cats.
They are exposed to fleas, ticks, bigger animals that may injure or kill them and vehicles that may run them over. Not to mention the crazy kids that like to torture them for the fun of it.
Before you let the cat back in, you may have to take it to a vet to make sure it's free from the many parasites that may have latched on....

My cat is clingy and needy and follows me everywhere. I love him dearly, but is it wrong that sometimes i want a few minutes of "alone time" from my cat? He is always crawling all over me and it's cute but sometimes it's overwhelming/distracting.

I think your husband is being picky about a non-issue. The fiance didn't want to sit alone in the back...nor did they want to sit next to someone they didn't know. Your friend probably felt that you as the friend would understand it, verses the mess they may find themselves in for abandoning their future mate by sticking them in the back.
To be offended by this innocent action is...

The battles are within the soul...and find their way out to strike others first. Since we are talking billions of "souls" in the world, something difficult to "fix" it will be close to impossible to have world peace.
I would settle for something much smaller!
Peace in our extended families!

Women, have you noticed that how you dress, attracts different types of men?
I never had a problem attracting men from all walks of life and of all ages. I don't think my dress had anything to do with it. It was my smile and hair and perfume that drove them wild.
Answer to:
Is there an exact type that women are usually attracted to?
For me there was. I loved the brown hair, slightly overweight guy with glasses under 5'10. He had to be smart and funny too. Love his mom, and be generous & sweet with those around him. But that's just me.
This didn't mean some tall dark and gorgeous guy didn't change my mind at times.
But I ended up marrying what I was orginally attracted too.
Answer to:
From a woman's point of view how can you tell that a man can give you lots of children?
Looking at him?
Does he have kids around him that he fathered from other women? You can't tell "by looking at him". Of course, I wouldn't want a man who fathered lots of children with several different women. He lacks control and judgement. He is robbing those kids of a father by stretching himself too thin between houses.

Why do women turn a compliment a guy gives them 180 degrees on him? E.g. "You look pretty/nice/beautiful, etc." Response "What are you trying to say? that I don't look pretty/nice/beautiful any other day." Around those lines if you catch my drift.
Because they can. Some even like to see their s/o squirm. Some are just ready to argue with a fence post. I try to avoid those ladies, because they will eventually turn on their best girl friends. Been there, had it happen and walked away from what I thought was a good friend. I have enough family drama without her adding to the misery. I don't miss her at all since she is so toxic.

In a relationship, who is more important?...your partner, her parents, her brothers and sisters, her friends, etc. in priority sequence. I think my partner is the most important person, but she doesn't think that way, her parents are #1, then family.

Answer to:
Barack obama is now saying we will have to keep 50,000, troops in iraq maybe indefinatly, did he lie about iraq to get elected, cause most sane people new that he couldnt pull out as quick as he "promised"( and he said he would pull all troops out)
I think Trump had the answer. Bring all the troops home immediately and throw a party in Time Square for them and call it a success. Sure, it would ruffle feathers, but we would be out of there by now.

To all cat owners, can u tell what your cat wants just by his actions?
Yep.
My female cat brings me a plastic bag and wrinkles it with her paws to make a sound when she wants fed. The boy cat walks up to me and touches my face with his paw when the water bowl is empty. They will sit at the top of the stairs when the litter box needs emptied.

I trust Christian Children's Fund. Most of the money sent there, does make it to the child and their family. I've been a supporter for 15 years.
Another one is your local homeless shelter- kitchen. You see the food being passed out, (since you are the one doing it) and can donate your own canned goods. If there isn't a homeless shelter, there is probably a food bank which can...

Have you ever been scammed by donating to an individual or "group" that didn't have legitimate non-profit status? I see many requests by "groups" and individuals that don't mention their tax status. Smells like scam to me!
Yes. The ones that got me were the Highway Patrol Widows Fund, who then sold my name to the Police Orphan's Fund, who then handed it off to the Injured Firemen's Fund. Of course, none of the money went to those they said it would. I just hang up on them now, and donate through my local church, who personally supports those in the community with such needs.

He told you he doesn't love you.
Men usually mean what they say.
You need to find someone else.

Why isn't Michael Connell's death as suspicious as Vince Foster's?
It's not uncommon to die in a small plane that crashes. As for Foster - it was confirmed a suicide after the examination of his shirt and blood stains. The most interesting thing about that case was a "possible" affair between him and a certain lady.

Married for 6 years and I have a step daughter who is now 22 who has never liked me. We hardly say hi. Probably because she did not want any one with her mom and her dad never was around. She also does no chores. Should I stick it out?
It is up to her parent to make her do anything. You are the outside party. If you are patient, the parent may get tired of the moucher and kick her out soon enough. You can help by making it appealing to "live on your own". I was out of my parents house by that time and the independance was worth the sacrifice. Of course, that was my parent's plan- to make it so restrictive - I...
Answer to:
What can i do about my 30 year old married stepson with 3 kids who lives 13 hours away but is coming home an average of 6 times a year to visit with various friends and relatives and always stays with his dad and I,never anyone else.
I would be grateful he has a good relationship with his dad and not keeping the grandkids from him. He is only coming over 6 times a year, this is not excessive. If you feel it is, ask your husband to ask "another" relative to house HIS son, but be warned-your husband may develop a poor opinion of you if you ask.
Answer to:
My bf doesn't understand me. When kids r with their dad, I need his company, I need to go out with him, I need him. He is always tired.. He doesn't like going out. I'm going crazy. I can't stay at home all by myself..I cry for my kids non-stop..
If you can afford to seek therapy for your fear of being alone, do so. The quickest way to drive a man away is to be a clinging vine. (and crying all the time)

Ok, I've been married 20 years - HAPPY YEARS.
You have to develop a "win-win" ending. You give a little, they give a little. It's all about compromise and realizing you can be "right" or you can be "happy". We chose happy - as the other person was never going to see it our way anyway.

How do you know whether you should be going to and OD or an opthomologist? I'm 57 and my OD said I had a "pre-cataract" condition. Do I need to see an opthomologist instead of an OD?
It will take an Ophthalmologist who is an MD - eye surgeon, to remove the cataract when it's time. But usually, cataracts are slow growing and just an other prescription may do the trick. Once the cataract is obstructing your vision beyond 20/40, then it's time to really consider having it removed. But that may be some time later. (years or decades later)

Never be rude. If you are in a bad mood, just don't go around anyone. If you must be in someone's company- you still don't have the right to ruin their day with grumpy emotions. How do you know they aren't having a rotten day too? Chances are- they are disciplined enough not to show it.

I think highly of him- that he loves her for all the world to see and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. I figure she knew something the skinny gorgeous women didn't and was able to make him feel like a man.

How much would it offend you if a guy put on extra strong cologne?
I ask my husband to put his cologne on in the car so I don't have to smell it first thing in the morning. I am sensitive to most smells anyway - so it is hard for me to be around men or women who drown themselves in a scent.

Think of Frazier and Niles Crane on the TV show - and that is the perfect definition of a metrosexual. They are straight, yet love the finer things in life.

They feel different on bare feet. It took awhile for me to get use to walking on laminate, it was like walking on plastic. The sound is different too.
It looks like wood, until you go from a home with the real stuff and then you realize your floor may look "cheap".
But I'll take laminate over carpet any day.

Answer to:
Of the following, which kind of flooring do you prefer in a living room, hard wood floors, wood laminate floors, carpet? Why?
If I could afford wood floors, I would have went with that. Instead, we purchased laminate- and I'm pleased. So many accidents that just wiped away was a time saver. Also, easier to keep clean and the kids haven't had breathing problems since the carpet was ripped out for most of the house. One bedroom is without carpet and my son stopped having mucus in his throat every morning.

Answer to:
Does your home have hardwood or carpet? Which do you prefer?
Wooden floors.

Food is outrageous now. Thank goodness for Aldi's!

You are fortunate if the food is falling where you are. Here, it is going up Up UP! (eggs/milk/cheeseburgers)
House prices falling hurt me, I own my home and if I need to sell being a military family, I won't get near what I paid for it. I will be out tens of thousands of dollars.

BUT then it occured to me you may not like crowds and being tight with money (or not having any) may not have anything to do with it. If you trying to avoid the whole alcohol thing, there are coffee houses.
As for meeting a girl, I would volunteer someplace, or take a community class. Going to the grocery store after...

Pantyhose are so LAST TWO DECADES AGO. Fashion authorities such as Tim Gunn even gasp when they see them anymore..not a good gasp mind you!
Working for a podiatrist for a very short time cured me from wanting to wear heels. Women required surgeries on their toes & foot because of HIGH HEELS. That was 80% of the man's business!

What is the difference between a love relationship and one that is just based on attraction?
Attraction has another name- LUST.
Attraction is something that dies after 2 and a half years. It's hot and heavy in the beginning, and then just dies.
Love is a slower burn, but can last a lifetime. You become in love with the person's character, their soul, not their physical looks.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative.

I'm not thinking he is gay, but perhaps you need to quietly watch him looking at other guys to find out.
If you are going to ask him anything, ask about abstinence first, virgin second and then the gay question last...only if he has said NO to the other two. Good luck.

And he doesn't feel guilty about it either.
He has just moved on to another model! (the g/f)

Do you think the people who spread the rumor that Senator Obama was a Muslim believed it? Were they mistaken or lying?

If you want to keep that job, you need to do it. Also, it depends on if you are an hourly employee or salary. I am amazed at this question though. In my employment history, we stayed until the job was complete knowing we weren't getting paid overtime. It made us a valuable employee..and that was priceless...especially when we went looking for another job and needed the recommendation.

But if things were getting serious, and he didn't seem to want to go down that road, I would wonder about it.

Ladies: You need to pee in the middle of the night, you leave the lights off so you don't hurt your eyes. Which is worse...your man had left the seat up and you fell into the bowl OR he left the seat down but sprinkled the seat and now you sat in it!
Falling in the bowl is awful. I'm a mother of boys, I always look before sitting on the seat.

Answer to:
Do you know the names of all planets in the Solar System, and how they align?
Yep. My mom taught me a saying to remember their order.
Mary (Mercury)
Very (Venus)
Easy (Earth)
Makes (Mars)
Jam (Jupiter)
S-U-N spells "sun" (Saturn/Uranus/Neptune)
and that leaves Pluto out in the cold.
Now, I have to leave the Pluto out, since it's not a planet anymore.

If you're married and have kids, know this will be the poorest time of your life and sex isn't a top priority.

Happy Birthday!
Answer to:
For those that have moved from one country to another - What advice would you give for someone considering the same?
Read up on the customs & cultures. It will save everyone embarassment. Also the laws, don't think you can't end up in jail - you have no rights there, you are not a citizen.
Enjoy your chance to experience something most people don't get too. Eat what the locals do, go to the places they do and learn about their holidays & festivals.
So...where are you going? It would...

Need to know how to find out about person after found name and address
I'm guessing you found a number on a piece of paper your s/o had hidden somewhere? IF this is the case, don't waste your time trying to find out about them. Just lose the number.
Only married couples get to go down that road.

Nope. They will just wait around for someone to help them, and I'll probably have to contribute to their financial hole...somehow.

Answer to:
What do you think was the worst aspect of living during the Great Depression?
The people I personally knew had two answers. The women hated to see their kids starve and had to ask the older ones to live on their own since they couldn't feed them. The men hated the fact that they were unable to support their family financially and lost what few possessions they had worked hard for.
Answer to:
Do you think living through The Great Depression made a difference in the rest of those people's lives? if so how?
Yes. I lived next to a retirement community in the 1980's and everyone I met had lived through that time. They valued the dollar bill, not the credit card. They took care of what they had- it had to last because they weren't so sure they could afford to replace it. They lived within their means and most didn't trust the stock market. They saved and had money stashed in jars,...

Two thoughts on this one. #1- he is trying to drive you away. #2-your time is too valuable to spend with someone who sounds like a combative fool.
Move on and get some peace in your life with someone who respects you and doesn't have an anger problem.
Answer to:
I think people who don't accept the theory of evolution were either poorly taught and indoctrinated or are stubborn and close minded. Or both. Do you think I am intolerant or close minded myself because of that?
Your key word there is "theory". In the 80's, that word "theory" was prominent when evolution was being taught in schools. It wasn't "fact", it was an idea, a belief of how something came to be. An IDEA - that could be plausible- yet unproven.
But in the last 15 years, the word "theory" has been replaced by "fact". People believe it...

What will happen to America if after Obama gets elected?
Stripping the FICA tax cap off every worker making more then $97,500 will increase MY taxes. I won't get the Bush tax cut either if Obama allows it to expire, which he said he would do. If his plan goes through, that is less money in my pocket. So, my family would end up paying higher taxes. This is a sure thing.
He also supports bans on the manufacture, sale & possession of...

I am going on a 3 month trip out of the country. I am very nervous about being away from my boyfriend for so long. We miss each other after a few days, and 3 months will be horrible. How can i get past this anxiety?
Are you nervous because you think he won't be there when you get back? Or be with someone else? If your relationship is a strong one, there is no need to be anxious. Enjoy yourself and bring him back something, and write often. This is a chance for you to grow into a better stronger person, don't pass it up!

I would like to know how many people out there in the work place, feel like they could just explode or do something else from all the stress and are just tired of all the negativity coming from coworkers? I know I'm not the only one.
The best way to deal with a grumpy co-worker is to blow them a kiss. They usually leave you alone after that.

If airlines start to charge passengers by their weight, will that make more people take the weight-loss initiative?
Here is my problem with the weight issue.
At 5 foot 3, if I were 170 lbs, I would be considered overweight. But 170 lbs is STILL LOWER then a skinny 6 foot man. So...if the TALL skinny man weighed in at 200 lbs , then he too should have to pay extra since he would weigh more then me.
So a better question would be, what is the common number EVERYBODY must not exceed? 300? 400?
And maybe...

Some people laugh out of nervousness. As for your friends not asking about your problem, they probably thought it RUDE to PRY. I don't ask my friends about their problems, because most of them would be embarrassed about things in their life they can't control. (and if I can't help with the outcome- don't burden ME with them- I've got enough going on in my own life)
