(Non-Christians could substitute "Gawd" for "Jesus.")<br /><br />I almost got crashed into the other day by TWO different idiots on cell phones. I don&#039;t do bumper stickers, but if I did, this might be one of &#039;em!

I do have a credit card, but I really only use it for the online safety features and auto-pays I don&#039;t want straight out of my bank account. I don&#039;t carry a balance or spend money I don&#039;t have.

There&#039;s a good chance that he&#039;s quite right and you DO have a big ego. (I&#039;d not suggest generally that a church leader approach someone in this way unless they are trying to alienate them instead of help them out, but that&#039;s another question entirely.)

He clears his history, and temporary files regularly. Is there any way I can recover the deleted info or monitor his actions from another PC without him knowing?<br /><br />I clear my history and temporary files regularly and don&#039;t look at porn at all. (I&#039;m also female, so you idiots out there can believe me.) He doesn&#039;t have to be hiding anything to do that. If you think he IS hiding something, why not just ask him?

My ring finger moves but is limited by pain. Help!<br /><br />You say in an answer that it went 3/8&quot; in... that is definitely enough to do some interior damage, and you should visit a doctor. If you don&#039;t, and it turns out there&#039;s ligament damage, which sounds possible, it can heal wrong and never be right again. If you do and it turns out...

Because they thought he didn&#039;t look old enough to be driving. When I was 23, I told a lady I wanted to get married and she said wasn&#039;t I too young?

Any advice?<br /><br />Of course he doesn&#039;t need you like he used to, but he needs you just as much as he used to. Just differently. Now instead of needing his shoes tied and a lap to sit on, he needs a good example, both limits and freedom, help figuring out his ever-changing place in the world, help learning...

Thanks for any help!<br /><br />Depends what the shows are. Many shows are available on the network websites or on hulu at www.fancast.com (or both.) A few are very limited by the network - CBS is the big irritating network that won&#039;t let its shows be rebroadcast on the internet. So if your shows are on CBS, good luck....

Or is it bad for your hair?<br /><br />You can, certainly. Hairdressers do it all the time. It is very bad for your hair though. Both of those processes damage your hair, and doing both at the same time certainly doesn&#039;t do much for the structure of your hairs!

I keep trying to read it, but always fall asleep when I get to the part listing all those names of people who never did anything on page 4.<br /><br />I recommend trying out the NEW testament... that&#039;s towards the back of the book. The Bible is not generally best read front-to-back the way a normal book would be. I guess really the question is... what are you looking for in the Bible?

The panties are of different colors, so bleach is not an option. It will spot the colors. Would love to get the stains out rather than throw out and buy new panties. Thanks!<br /><br />Always use cold water. I soak it first, then use bar soap, and then use hydrogen peroxide if the soap didn&#039;t get it all out. You can also try an Oxy product, but I found they never worked as well as Ivory soap!

One country will often arrest and hand over a criminal to another. This is no different. Would you expect them to arrest and hand over a terrorist if he were there?

I believe small children of 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 often do it because at that age it's considered educational. Any views from any of you, please? In my view it isn't OCD at all.<br /><br />It is not necessary. If you feel compelled to do it, it IS OCD, but not all OCD is damaging. It is, to some extent, normal to have mild OCD tendencies like counting or ordering items. However, if you are regularly counting letters in phrases, if you are taking extra time out of life in order...

I&#039;m decently good at ironing too, I just don&#039;t do it very often. I probably don&#039;t do it as often as I should, really.

Or maybe you like a money clip. What do you do w/ the change? Coins in pocket or in the wallet?<br /><br />Leather tri-fold, coins in the pocket. I am a woman, but I refuse to carry a purse (I&#039;d lose it and don&#039;t need all that junk with me anyway) so I keep my wallet in my back pocket most of the time. Coins make it too thick, bi-folds won&#039;t fit. I try to keep as little as possible...

(I think of myself as god when I'm playing "The Sims" and I wouldn't want my people I create to worship me, I'd want them to enjoy theirselves and learn from their mistakes).(just a thought)<br /><br />You&#039;ve been listening to too many fundamentalists. We weren&#039;t so much made to worship God as to glorify him and enjoy him. Enjoying God is the same thing as enjoying ourselves, except that it is focused on God instead of on ourselves. What&#039;s more, God did create us in a way that...

Do people actually like the taste or is it a speed issue?<br /><br />For me, it&#039;s a speed and cost issue. For the taste... each place has one or two objects I have found that I really do like the taste of. Often chicken, not beef, and in two cases, not even ON the regular menu, though if you ask for them, they still serve them.

But since your room is small and your furniture white, avoid dark colors and white. A 17 year old and a 14 year old are likely to have very similar paint colors. At 17, you are unlikely to be that much more mature than you are now. If you&#039;re interested in...

True? False? Why?<br /><br />You&#039;re missing a key point. God never gives you more than you can handle WITH HIS HELP. People commit suicide rather than accept/seek that help.

But all of a sudden I've started cheating IN MY HEAD with a co worker. What can I do to make myself stop thinking about cheating on my lovely husband? I feel so guilty<br /><br />I know it sounds horrible, but talk to your husband about it. You probably vowed to stick with one another in good and bad both, and he might just be able to HELP you. Consider asking your co-worker to stop flirting, too. Tell him he&#039;s making you uncomfortable. In this day and age,...

We tease eachother and just enjoy our marriage. People think I'm lying when I say I have a happy marriage.Are they jealous?Do they want me to be miserable just as they are?<br /><br />I think many people simply don&#039;t understand that it is even possible to have a happy marriage. Their experiences are unhappy parents, themselves being unhappy and unable to get along well, and a general dissatisfaction. Such people generally also believe that their unhappiness is a result...

Or at any rate, having sex with someone he finds attractive and who is not you. He&#039;s just trying to get you included because he won&#039;t feel guilty for cheating or because he wants to watch you with this super hot...

Critically injured cats purr in pain, too. However, most cats if they trust you will not mind if you pet and handle their kittens.

If she puts his name on the birth certificate as the dad will that give him visitation rights?<br /><br />Yes. Honestly, that might not be a bad thing in the long run. Kids need two parents, not just one. However, I can understand if she doesn&#039;t want to. It would also give him child support payments.
