That would normally be your best bet, and if that&#039;s the case there&#039;s no distinction -- each child is an exemption on the joint return. If you&#039;re not filing jointly, why not? If you&#039;re divorced, the divorce settlement should specify who gets the...

If they are both giving birth within a few days of each other, who should I be with?<br /><br />Wow, what a problem to have! I guess if you can afford lots of last-minute plane tickets, you can do both.

You&#039;re just asking for arguments :) But of course, we&#039;re free to define what is meant by &quot;strongest&quot;, yes?

In fact, the notion of self-sufficiency is mostly a delusion. Nobody is, or ever has been, truly and completely self-sufficient. For one thing, there&#039;s no way you could have made it to adulthood by yourself: at a minimum, somebody else had to...

What are you upset about? The more specific you can get, the more likely you can make some progress.

Works with his dad a couple days a week. His sister doesn't work (30s) had 1, but quit b/c panic attacks. . I am wondering can this improve? Has porn affinity too.<br /><br />Yes, it can improve... the question is whether or not you should be hanging around hoping for that. If he&#039;s not sufficiently engaged in life to be a real partner for you, what&#039;s the point? It really doesn&#039;t work for a couple to wrap themselves up entirely in their own little...

How do people afford it out there?<br /><br />Salaries also tend to be higher... but not high enough to make up for the housing prices. A lot of people cannot afford to own a home, they live in smaller or less appealing housing than they would in a cheaper area.

Once in a while there&#039;s a rough landing or some strange sinking during takeoff, but I think I&#039;ve only been alarmed by turbulence once. But &quot;relaxed&quot;!?

Some things have been tough, but I&#039;m getting pretty good at it now. I think this is a really important thing to do -- it&#039;s very hard to forgive others if you can&#039;t forgive yourself.

Then I made some changes in my life and it was incredible, but now I lost everything; my confidence, my strength. I feel empty and lonely, what should I do? I don't know if I want to be the one I was before.<br /><br />Life can only be understood looking backward. It has to be lived looking forward. We&#039;ve all made mistakes, we all have situations in life which are the result of what we did (or didn&#039;t do) in the past. And some of those situations can be pretty tough.

I&#039;ve never heard of anybody being entitled to be compensated for their dog&#039;s seed given willingly :) Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:38:31 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2159984 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2159938 Who else thinks we need to do more to get rid of those people who say bad stuff about other Abers like Crystal Clear of blue,Eric ,BabyCakes etc?<br /><br />The only practical solution is to pressure the staff to appoint more Community Leaders so that these trolls can be dealt with swiftly.

Am I wrong?<br /><br />Yes, there&#039;s a big difference. Human / pet relationships have mutual benefits, and pets can (usually) opt out if they want to. Most do not. Also, humans typically love their pets, and do their best to care for them and make their lives comfortable. By contrast, slaves are simply...

Often women stay with men who are domineering and abusive, because that relationship...

I am on meds but I have alienated everyone with this disease. I want to move closer to my grandchildren but scared I will let them down. Any advice? I am very alone without them.<br /><br />My suggestion is to take up meditation. The daily discipline to practice awareness helps to work through anxiety, and having deeper understanding of yourself can help with depression.

Yep, of course it's about sex! To heck with trains and tunnels! I want the real thing!!<br /><br />&quot;Lucid dreaming&quot; is the phrase for what you want -- being able to control your dreams while dreaming.

What could be the cause of this, and what should I do to stop it?<br /><br />Keyboards are manufactured in an alternate dimension of reality to save costs -- basically in the Z-Theta Dimension (ZT dimension), labor costs about 1/3 as much as it does in ours.

Currently in the U.S., I think we do a reasonable job of striking that balance, given the complexity of some cases. There are no easy solutions which can...

You're supposed to answer "I work too hard," which I hate. What do you say?<br /><br />Actually, you&#039;re supposed to be honest. So the answer will vary for each individual.
