I am a Jew. I love a good sale, and I will be damned if I am lending anyone a dime. Oh, and my nose is a little large, but I believe that it helps me find good deals....kind of like a Jewish radar system. I think it is cool that I embrace this stereotype. Nothing wrong with being frugal. What is a stereotype about your culture that you are down with?

I am getting a new Wesite puppy but have a dilemna. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and work a normal 40 hour/week job. I've heard about people training their dog to use a liter box but I've always taken my dogs outside since I've always had big dos. I'm just afraid that the dog will not be able to hold it through a normal work day (at first I will have someone come at lunch to take it out). So I'm torn, do I train it to use puddle pads, liter box, or teach it to take it outside when they have to go? Or any other great ideas? I need advice... quick!

I am just being a "mom", my daugher leaves 8/16 for Naval bootcamp. Not so much for her, but for me as well....
What will her first day, week, month be for her? I picture the worse case senario: getting screamed at in the face, and her break down, just as they try to do. I told her to do EXACTLY as she is told. What thoughts, advise or actual experiences can you share with me? Thank you!

I remember seeing somewhere on the internet that Mattel would make a variant edition of Superman and Supergirl in Wave 2 of their DC Superhero toy line. But I have not heard anything since then, and that was a while ago. They were supposed to be switched in with the later shipments of wave 2, but I've not seen anything. And now wave 3 is starting to come out in some places, does anybody know what happened?

Then what do you christians think will happen to the people who believe in other religions? Don't tell me that they won't be able to go to heaven too. Your God and the other God from the other religions are one and the same.

Hi,

I have an auto g35 coupe. Recently I've been hearing some kind of grinding/buzzing noise at 1500-1800 RPMs (accelerating slowly from a full stop) after I have been driving in sit and go traffic for 20 minutes. It happens before I shift to second. I don't really hear it in other gears. I don't hear it until the car has been driven for a while. I especially hear it in my deck garage at work, but maybe that's because it's quiet. The noise lasts for 1-2 seconds. I think it's coming from the engine. Maybe it has something to do with the heat because I just started hearing it in the 95 degree weather. I never hear it on the highway or when I'm at a higher gear. I know that my fan belt is squealing a little bit so I want to get that replaced but don't think it has anything to do with this new sound. Anyone know what it could possibly be? I'm still under warranty and want to take it to a dealer, but I have no idea what to say to them. Any suggestions? Thanks so much

My fiance and are are getting married the problem is his mother and father are divorced. His father is remarried and has been for a long time. My fiance just recently started speeking with his father and his wife. How would we go about introducing them at the wedding reception because even though she is step-mother it would offend his real mother if she was intorduced as his mother but would it sound tacky if she was introduced as step mom?

My previous question got deleted with no good explanation, just saying I had violated the rules. So I am rephrasing the question. All the cussing and nasty talk that goes on here, but my asking if there are any other firefighters here gets censored. I am confused.
