Looking for the wisdom of long-time married men, if possible who've already passed the 10 year mark and are happy with their marriage...

What are the key factors of your relationship with your wife that made (and keep) your marriage successful? (examples: family, career, hobbies, love, sex, etc). Are there any that you think are critical to support your couple for the long term?

...A single guy wondering about a successful married life :) Thank you.

Why are there people who are Pro McCann? Who are these people? Where do they come from?

I know the McCanns have not been charged with anything, and innocent till proven guilty. But even the biggest McFan must admit something does smell fishy. No smoke without fire, i dont need to reel off the facts as im sure you are all aware.

And even if they are innocent they still left thier 3 beautiful young children alone, in an unlocked apartment, in a foriegn country.

How could you possibly be a McFan?

Thanks for all points of view.

I am going on an international business trip and were going to have a gift exchange with about 10 attendees from all over the world. I need to bring a cultural gift that would best represent the US. Any ideas?

I have been having braxton hicks for the last week off an on (I am now 37 weeks)....today they got stronger and a little closer (few hours apart....not consitant)....now it's 4 am and all night in bed I have had harder contractions for a couple hours.....minimal break in between. I also have had back cramps (uncomfortable) all day and during the contractions.

I went to the bathroom and peed.....then sat there for a minute and some clear fluid trickled out....I wiped and it was completely clear......my pee is usually noticabley yellow.
I have no clue whether this is amniotic fluid, if my water broke or what??
What do you think? I'm not sure what to do. It trickled out a couple more times when i was in the washroom and i did pee a little in between the clear stuff (I hope this make sense!)

Contractions have stopped, but I still have a slight back cramp.

Also, this may be silly but....does the fluid come out of you where the pee does ?

My apartment complex is several blocks down from a grocery store and my neighbors have been bringing home their groceries and then leaving the carts in the complex.

There's one lady in particular that I think uses them to cart her laundry around and after she's done, she leaves it right by the elevator (which happens to face my living room window). There are currently two upstairs by the elevator and one under the stairwell on the 1st floor. The other night I went and pushed the cart in front of her door and left a note asking her not to do it anymore and mentioned how trashy it makes the complex look. No dice, the next morning it was back by the elevator.

The next day, I called the office to complain about the lady and see if they could remove the carts. The manager said OK but now it's 3 days later and all the carts are still there! What do I do?

What is "web 2.0" or where are the specs? Is is just by applying and using AJAX?
I read many comments saying that "tables" are "old fashion". What is to replace them? "Div" ?
I develop a lot with AJAX, Divs and tables, but I believe that a table, using % instead of width, are better for any screen resolution.
Advices ? Comments ?

I heard someone say "One speaks good English" recently, and was wondering if this was a correct usage. I've always thought that "one" refered to either a person, or people in general. So I would have thought that "If one speaks good English..." would be correct, but not just "One speaks good English" because people, in general don't speak good English. I was just wondering! Thanks for answers!

I do the best I can and I believe that is good enough... Most of the time, I recognise that I can't be perfect, and that is why Jesus died for me... He makes up the difference.

But why is it that when I remember that my friends (or other people) are suffering... why does that make me feel nauseous? Why do I sit with my family, feel so grateful for the love I have... then feel sick that my friends don't have the same happiness?

Why is it that sometimes I feel sick when I see TINY little imperfections (like, I scratch my head, because my daughter has given me head-lice). I've done so much good... why do I feel WRONG when I've done all that I can do... and I really can't do any more than that?

It's almost as if I feel remorseful for not having divine power to make all things right in the world. I'm only human!

Is it hormonal, or is it spiritual? What is wrong with me, to feel this way? Do you feel like this sometimes, too?

Based on the answers I got, i have checked and found that there are no leaks, the oil looks congealed. How much would it cost to get a head gasket changed? I am now certain that water is leaking into the engine.

I have no name and have not seen
but. the places I have been
Thoughts of you and why you are
a mystery, a hidden sin

Another time and place perhaps,
a face to face to see that laugh
a smile I’ve carried in my mind
could I be warm, my distant half?

I could be wrong, I could be right
delightful wonder in minds eye
always wishing it could be
sadly come to and deny

A peaceful time I cherish much
although, knowing it’s a crush
someday, if not real I will see
the day when we just simply touch...

Bide the Wiccan laws ye must
in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust

Live and let live
Freely take and freely give

Cast the circle thrice about
To keep all evil spirits out

To bind the spell every time
Let the spell be spake in rhyme

Soft of eye and light of touch
Speak little, listen much

Deosil go by the waxing moon
Sing and dance the Wiccan rune

Widdershins go when the moon doth wane
And the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane

When the Lady's moon is new
Kiss thy hand to her times two

When the moon rides at her peak
Then your heart's desire seek

Heed the northwind's mighty gale
Lock the door and drop the sail

When the wind comes from the south
Love will kiss thee on the mouth

When the wind blows from the east
Expect the new and set the feast

When the west wind blows o'er thee
Departed spirits restless be

Nine woods in the cauldron go
Burn them fast and burn them slow

Elder be ye Lady's tree
Burn it not or cursed ye'll be

When the wheel begins to turn
Let the Beltain fires

I just started it, and I'm a little scared because I keep hearing that it makes you gain weight..
Is it a chemical in the drug that makes you retain water or put on pounds.. or is it because it makes you hungry..
I've heard it makes you hungry, but i've been pretty normal so far.. but it's only been a few days..
:)
if anyone knows please tell me?
thanks..

I mean, parents are suppose to be there to love you and to be there for you. But they always seem to be the ones, who i feel most distant from, who yell at me, who are over controlling, who make me miss out on good times with my friends because they are selfish, and who won't accept the fact that im growing up to be a good young lady. I dont understand why, they want me feeling this way towards them. I love them, but i don't like them no longer.
