What do you think should be done to the Mothers or Fathers who abuse there Children?
I hope there is a hell for my own father to burn in forever for molesting me as a child. Sadly he believes he has been saved. He does live in his own hell, no adult children call or visit, none tell him they love him, he has a lonely and solitary life. This is after he did prison time for sexually abusing another child (not me).
Answer to:
Why are we so tired in the winter?
The metabolism of all animals slows down in the winter, some so much that they hibernate. The lack of sun and our distance from the sun has a lot to do with it.
Instead of heeding our bodies and semi-hibernating, or getting the rest our bodies crave, we create all kinds of holidays to give ourselves a focus outside of ourselves. When the artificial holidays are over, we just crash from...

Answer to:
Should You Let Your Child Cry It Out?
Each cry is different - I'm hungry, I'm lonely, I'm sick, I have gas, I need my diaper changed. Sometimes the cry is "I'm too exhausted to sleep and I can't figure out what the problem is." When you are sure that's the problem, you can let them cry. Their needs are being met. If the cry means something else, you are just teaching them that their needs will not be met.

For my own sake, I am polite and remove myself from the situation as soon as possible. They have to suffer living with themselves; it is their own punishment.

We own 6 acres of property, on which we live and conduct our business, I was told that when we go to sell our property since we live on it we will be exempt from paying capital gains tax. Is this true? Thank you so much.
It depends on how you handle your business exemptions. If you are a C Corporation and you rent office space to your company, then probably you are fine. If you are an S Corporation, LLC or other and claim a business deduction on office space you may owe taxes on the office space.
See a CPA or tax lawyer for advice BEFORE you claim office space for your business.

Maybe the dad senses that you are "ready to leave."
I'd change my position and say "I'm not going anywhere, I don't care what you say." Other people can say anything but it won't affect the relationship between you and your husband unless you let it.

Although your hormones can affect your weight, most weight gain as you age is due to simply becoming more sedentary. Exercising 30-60 minutes every day will help reduce the effects of fluctuating hormones. Note that all activity counts as exercise, even cleaning, vacuuming, shopping, mowing, garden work or running errands.

If she really was so "mature" (cough) then she could have proven it by being emancipated, living on her own, working and supporting herself. It's not likely that a 16.5 year old "girl" who is legally emancipated and self-supporting and has an adult b/f who would go to jail. She would have been judged equal to an adult by being emancipated.

You are fighting because it's the only way you can connect with your mom right now, but you can suggest other constructive ways.

What are some problems that could occur by defaulting my student loan in NY? lost my job, got new one with 50% less pay. can't afford these bills. never got my degree, but the cost is too much. My credit sucks too, so I'm not worried about it going lower.
There's no such thing as defaulting on your student loan, the interest simply piles up forever and you have to pay it some day. They don't care if it's 30 years from now, you'll pay it WITH interest.
Better to officially defer your loan, you can do that for 12 months and may be able to renew it an additional 12 months too.
OR go back to school which officially defers...

2 teaspoons of baking soda mixed with 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide, mix to the consistency of toothpaste. Brush on your teeth and leave on for a few minutes. Rinse (do not swallow) and brush your teeth with regular toothpaste to get rid of the whitener. Use only once per week.

Are the eggs used to make mayonnaise cooked at any point? Meat can be cooked if it's sliced very thinly and placed on a salt rock, traditionally called curing. But does the vinegar used to make mayonnaise have the same effect on the eggs used?
I've made mayonnaise from scratch before, it is not that difficult and it uses raw eggs. You want to use it up within 24 hours when you make it fresh.
Some recipes call for blanching the egg yolk so it's not raw, and some manufacturers actually cook the egg at a low temperature.
Vinegar helps preserve it somewhat, but cannot make a bad egg good.

In a week-long romance both people are probably pretending to be other people, and they think they...

Within the realm of the possible, if you really want to do something, and you are able to do it without hurting others or yourself, should you? Do you have any obligation to yourself or does obligation only extend to what you should do for others?
If it doesn't hurt myself or others, of course I'd do it. I would research it thoroughly and be sure I knew how to do it safely, taking a class if necessary.

I've learned to really dislike the term "illegitimate children." To me it suggests some kind of criminal activity or shows no regard for life. What say you?

"Love Child" is better.

You have an ABS sensor on your driver's side rear brake. The sensor could have come loose, and the pads you had put on in January may not have been seated properly.

Instead, before getting on the passenger should be instructed to lean only with the bike, NOT with the driver. It is the ONLY predictable method.

Whats the secret to great Coffee?
Buy your own green beans, roast them in your own roaster to the exact stage of darkness desired, let cool on a perforated pan for 10 minutes and age for 4-8 hours. Now they have to be sealed or they will lose flavor quickly.
Now you need what's called a burr grinder to crush the beans evenly for perfect brewing. Set that to fine and grind away.
Lastly buy an expensive Italian coffee...

There's always a scar where it was broken. I can still remember my first love and how his parents broke us up for his own good so he would go to law school. Instead he got his next girlfriend pregnant and that was his life.
Even though I'm sure it would not have worked out, a little scar is still there from the broken heart.

Outside the law when/why do you believe a child is mature enough to: Have sex? Abortion? Have/Raise child? Divorced/Single parent to live with? Refuse visit to D/S parent? Refuse schooling? Decide family rules, if any, to follow? Live on their own? Marry?
There is no good one answer for all children, or even for an individual child. Children grow up unevenly, and even revert back and forth between maturity to immaturity sometimes.
By the time they reach the age that these questions need to be decided apart from the law, you can only hope you've given them a good foundation of common sense.

If you got up the courage to ask her about it, it is likely that she WAS worried for your own sanity and safety and felt that sending you to the hospital was the safest decision for you. It sounds as if you lived in a small town and she was protecting you in her own screwy way.

What is borderline diabetes? My doctor said I was borderline diabetes. He did not prescribed medication nor recommended a diet.
Depending on the doctor it means fasting blood sugar over 110 or 100. They keep upping the standards all the time, wonder why more and more people are becoming diabetic.
He should have prescribed moderate exercise to you, that helps burn off your excess blood sugar better than anything.
It means read up and learn, or you are on the short path to a permanent chronic illness.

If that still does not wake them up, I'll put on my turn signal as if I'm turning into a driveway up ahead and that will make them pass.

I often check behind the shower curtain, because once when I was a teen I was at a friends house that I was not supposed to be at, and the sister came home. I ran and hid in the bathtub with the curtain closed. She used the restroom without looking behind the shower curtain! And left. Odd how an experience like that will affect you the rest of your life.

Different tests have different false positive rates, example, in one study the ELISA method produced false positive results in about 21% of the cases.*

Take really good care of your health. Eat right, eat your vegetables, exercise and get 8-10 hours of sleep each night, and when they grow back avoid leaning your head directly over grills when you are lighting them.

I burnt my stupid eyelashes off trying to smoke out of a bong...how long until they grow back and is there anyway to make that process happen faster?
Sometimes they are gone forever... you can hope they grow back.
Seriously? Take really good care of your health and lay off the bongs for a bit - it causes your immune system to work overtime each time you toke. If it has to choose healing over eyelashes it will.

I live in St. Louis,Missouri and I was trying to find out if I would get in trouble with the law if I went and got my daughter who will be 18 in six months from her half sister in Kansas City, Misssouri, she visited for the summer and want come home?
When she is 18 you can do that just fine. Until then you need the court's permission. Note if your daughter runs away to your house, since she is 17 they may leave her alone to make her own decision. That is very different from you going to retrieve her.

What should you do if the police pull you over?
1. Pull over in a safe place.
2. If you are SURE it is a real cop, roll down your window. If unsure, talk through the window and ask to see their identification. No cop will hold it against you for doing this. Calling 911 to verify was right in this video, but once the identification is confirmed she needs to do what they say.
3. When they ask, show your driver's license, registration,...

Do you think it should be law that a woman cannot have an abortion until she *proves* that she has made the father aware of her pregnancy?
Why, because some abortions are done just for the hell of it and we need to reduce them? Or because we want to torture all the men that she has slept with who might be the father? How does she even know for sure who the father is - do we make her wait until she can get genetic testing to determine this?

I live in an upstairs apartment with OUTSIDE steps to get to my door. A whole group of minors have taken to smoking under my stairs. I know they are not old enough to smoke. Should I mind my own business, and let them smoke, or should I send them away?
If they are interfering with your or your guests' passage to your house, or smoke bothering you in any way, yes.
Otherwise you don't really know if they are minors or not without profiling them. Leave them be even if you think you "know one when you see one." Making them move will NOT stop them from smoking, just stop them from smoking where you live.
