My sister is expecting a new baby girl, and has already named her Addison. She has a two-year-old daughter, who my kids (and my nephew) still refer to as "Baby Ashlyn". We've asked if Ashlyn will still be a baby when Addison is born, and they've already decided she would. Go figure.

Anyway, the kids all call Ashlyn and Addison both something that sounds like "Baby ***-in".

My sister hasn't suggested using a nickname, and refers to the baby as Addison. When I'm talking with my kids about their new cousin, do you think it would be okay for me to teach them a nickname, like Baby Addie, even if my sister and brother-in-law both use the longer "Addison"?

Does the IRS patrol Ebay looking to collect income from sellers? Does anyone have any first or even secondhand knowledge of sellers being pursued by the IRS? Does Ebay cooperate in giving out this information? Exactly how much do you have to sell to be considered a “business?” I am assuming they would not be interested in the sale of a few old purses and Grandma’s old quilt. Or would they…..

I've been going out for 7 months with this guy I know at the company I work for. We both are rather old fashioned. He's 43 and I'm 35. Nothing romantic has happened yet, no hand holding, hugs or kisses! At work, we walk together every day for half an hour. On some weekends, we go out. He treats me to movies and dinners but seems he's sloooow!! He checks out my boobs but never makes a move!! We get along well, have an intellectual connection and lots of common interest. I want him to look at me as his girlfriend. He hasn't had a girlfriend in over 4 years. He's shy and is Catholic A COMPLETE LATE-BLOOMER, if you know what I mean. What is going through his mind? How do I transition from pal to girlfriend? I don't want him to think I just want sex. But I like to have a tender romantic relationship with him and not just be his movie pal. How do I do that properly? He never calls me on a weekend to do something spontaneous, it bugs me...want him as a boyfriend. HELP. Read more below.

I have a serious passion for golf and usually end up watching every single shot on Sundays whenever a tourney is on. I've always wanted to become competitive in golf and eventually go to Q-school or try out on the Nationwide tour in the future. I have a good situation right now where I have a lot of time that I can spend on golf right now and I would like to take advantage of it. I am thinking of getting a part time job at a golf course so that I can play golf for free and hit balls.

I want to set up a five year plan where I can get to scratch in two to three years. In the 3rd and fourth year maybe start using a swing coach to get me over the last little hump and then in the fifth year start trying out in competitive tourneys.

I feel like i have some natural ability and I like to learn about the game and my game. I have shot in the 80s before but I haven't had an 80s round in the last few years. Does anyone think that this is completely idiotic or is it a possibility?

It seems to be common practice for telemarketers to keep trying to sell you on something after you already said no. Do you hate that? What can we do about it?

Tipping guide
The next time you're out eating at a resturant, look at your server. Do you think they are really happy to be doing that job? The answer is no, they are not, but it's what we do, and we do it for the money so please help them out. Its a tougher job than you think and you should pay them accordingly!

There are SO many people out there flooding the restaurants w/o any knowledge of how to tip. Here is a short guide for the general public to follow. Feel free to print out and store in your wallet and/or purse.

1. CHILDREN "THE LITTLE DEVILS":
If you have children, DO NOT let them, open and dump anything on the table (ie; salt, sugar, etc). IF YOU DO, you must leave an extra $5 for the server to clean up YOUR CHILD'S mess & to restock the now unusable wasted items. We are neither their babysitter nor their parent. The least you can do is pay us for the extra work. Also make sure you control your kids and don't let them scream or run around the restraunt. It's very distracting not to mention dangerous if they get ran over by a server with hot food in their hands.

2. "THE CAMPERS":
If you feel the necessity to stay for longer than 15 minutes after you pay, its an extra $3 every 30 minutes. We make our money from the tables. If you are in one and we can't seat it, we don't make money.

3. COMPLIMENTS:
Telling a server they are the best server they've ever had is not a tip. If we are good, let us know by leaving us more money. We cant pay our bills on compliments. Its not that we don't appreciate the praise, its just that if you say that and then leave 10% it's an insult.

4. THE SALVATION PAMPHLETS:
Prayer cards and any other religious pamphlet is NOT a tip. It is insulting that you assume we are w/o religion and must save us. Again, like ..3, we cant pay bills w/prayer cards. We'd go to church on Sundays if it wasn't mandatory to work on Sundays because EVERYONE who goes to church follows it by eating out.

5. TIPPING:
It is not 1960. Cost of living has gone up dramatically since then. 18% is the MINIMUM amount of what you should be tipping your servers. Just look at the tax line and multiply by 2-3, this gives you your minimum tip amount. Remember, our companies pay us minimum wage (minumum wage for servers is $6.75 in CA, $3.13 in FL, $3.09 in IA, $2.13 in TX) And we are taxed on 10 percent of your meal automatically anyway. So if your meal is $100 and you leave $10 and we tip out $4-5 to the busser, bartender, and whoever else then we pay tax on 10 dollars and we make $5. It seems small but it adds up. How many times do you eat out per week and do this?

6. THE COMPLAINERS:
If you get a discount because of your food was prepared wrong or something, do not take it out of our tip. We didn't cook it. The cooks get paid hourly regardless if the food sucks. However, we only make what you give us.

7. THE FREE STUFF:
If you happen to get anything for free and you did not have a problem with your dining experience, most of the time it is because the server thinks you will realize that they are giving it to you for free. There should be extra tip thanking the server for the free item. They could get in a lot of trouble giving away free stuff. You should give them hazard pay for it.

8. THE LATE ONES:
If you come into the restraunt 10 mins before closing or any time near closing hurry up and order your food and get out. Closed means closed, not social hour. It is so rude to sit there and take your sweet *** time. We can't leave until you leave because we have to do sidework and clean the table you are sitting at. We don't want to stand there waiting for you for an extra hour just because you don't want to go home. We recommend 24 hour establishments such as Dennys if you wish to sit into the wee hours of the night.

9. THE TABLE HOGGERS:
If you only come in for coffee or a dessert, to do paper work, or to have a meeting, don't sit there taking up our booths for hours. We are not Starbucks or a hotel restraunt. If you want to sit for hours, go there or else you better leave a good tip for us and camping fee included.

10. THE GREET:
When we come up to the table to greet you and we ask how you are doing please let us know. We honestly want to know how you are doing. If you are in a bad mood we want to know that from the beginning. A confused stare or complete silence does not suffice as a reply to "How are you doing?". Also most of us are REQUIRED to say certain things during the greeting, so please don't interrupt our greeting and say "I want coffee", "Can we get some bread?", or "What are the soups?"

11. THOSE DAMN CELL PHONES:
Don't ever talk on your cell phone in a restraunt. This is probably the rudest thing to do. If you must be on your cell, at least keep your voice down in respect for other customers. If you are on your cell phone when we walk up to greet your table we will walk away and not return until you get off your phone. Just show some respect and give us your attention for a couple of minutes.

12. TAKE-AWAY OR TO-GOS:
Always remember to tip the take-out order servers! They work just as hard as a server, and hardly ever get tips for it! WE DESERVE TO BE TIPPED TOO!

I am so sick of NASCAR all they do is make left turns! I am no tree hugger or anything but the sport is wasting all of are resources we can't make! If they don't stop NASCAR they will kill the earth because of polution and make it so no one else can get gas! I am also sick of left turns! Am I the only one who notices this. I put this in the Football section because if I put it in NASCAR they red necks would go after me. Star this if you think this is a good question.

Right dont get me wrong, I like having a laugh. Going out on a friday and sat night having a drink but it just seems like most of the people on here (dont take offense please) seem really desperate. Well yea its fun to flirt and that but some people just seem to like "need one" i see like 12 year olds being desperate for a date and things? like why cant you just wait until something happens or when your out and maybe try. I just think looking around everywhere including myspace is sad.
No im not niave. Im actually a bit crazy party student. Yes I have had my fare share of 1 night stands which seems contradictive but I dont like go out just to look. I go out for a laugh with my mates and what happens...happens.
So do you think there are too many people who are desperate?
I do understand that the answers will be biased.
Thanks, again no one take offense please.

I was just thinking about this the other day. Believers won't understand what I'm talking about, even though they'll think they do. :)

But for people that TRULY questioned their faith... do you remember that experience? The moment that you honestly, and wholeheartedly, considered the possibility that there was no god?

It scared the living daylights out of me. I remember, I opened my mind for just a moment, and let the thought come in. And terror overcame me. And I quickly closed off my thoughts again. I didn't revisit the thought again for weeks.

But I did it a couple more times, not being quite so fearful each time. And eventually, I overcame the fear and actually rationally looked at the situation. It was quite a feat for me. Anyone else remember this time?
