We are friends with a couple who have a daughter who is 7. We have known them since she was 3. She is an only child & will remain that way. Whenever they come over they have no control of the child. They do not know the meaning of consistancy or discipline. The child will run shrieking throughout our house if she doesn't get her way. Then the mom usually gives in. Or she will send the child on a time out for 30 seconds & then apologize to the child after doing it. The father has tried disciplining the child but mom overrides him at every turn. I have told the mom she needs to be consistant with the discipline. If she tells the child there will be consequences for her behavior, then she needs to deliver those consequences, not ignore the child, etc. We have two teen children and have dealt with this age before. Any suggestions as to what to say? WE have given this child timeouts, stating our house, our rules, & we don't allow shrieking, screaming and running through our house.

Nutritionists are recommending that we all add more whole grains to our diet. Manufacturers try to mislead us all the time. Are these new whole grain breads better than wheat and rye?

My bf has a child that he's paying child support on, he's in arrears. We are about to have a baby of our own and want to get married, but if we get married will I be responsible for his back child support? His tax returns are taken, will mine be taken, too even if we file separately?

My parents moved like 1800 miles away from home and my husband and kids and I decided to follow to just try it out and because they wanted us to so much. Well it's been 2 yrs now and my husband has been miserable wanting to move back home and it's wreaked a LOT of havoc on my marriage. But recently I realized I also want to move back home and we have put our house for sale and told my parents and they had a very bad reaction saying I am making a huge mistake by moving so far away from them and now the subject is NEVER mentioned.. it's like a huge white elephant in the room all the time. I dont even really want to be around them any more because I dont feel comfortable... but yet I love them and miss the relationship we used to have. Any suggestions on how to deal with them? They just seem to be acting like it's not even going to happen. :-( And yet I dont really have the guts to bring it up because of how they are about it.

Is it a myth or true? please answer..?
I've been reading around at different questions on this website and a lot of people say that if you put a pillow under your butt after having sex, it makes your chance of becoming pregnant greater. Is that a myth or is it really true? Another question i have, is it true taking folic acid throughout the month and then having unprotected sex, can really increase your chances as well??... Let me know!

Am I able to do this, think for myself about what the word of God means?

Do I require an academic with a degree in theology or divinity to explain it for me? When I read the Quran do I require an arabic reading Iman to tell me what it means in English? Does it require that I say I accept Jesus as my savior and allow the holy spirit to enter my heart before I will understand the Bible? Does God not trust that I could understand what his word is without some intervention from man or God himself or herself or itself?

Everybody around me seems utterly uninterested in soccer (this best of all sports!!!). It's terribly frustrating.

If there are any Europeans, Africans, Latin Americans, or Asians out there --- this question is for you:

Where can one watch World Cup games living in the U.S.? Are there Internet sites offering videos of the games?

Any useful info will be appreciated.
