Hello all. Little problem (again) with my parents, though it left me more confused than anything...I'm 26, with a hubby and nearly 11 month old son. For Halloween, we dressed up our son as a 60's peace activist, as we found some cool grungy camo trousers, a linen shirt and a khaki overshirt in the bargain bin at the Baby Gap. We made a little sign saying "Make Cookies, Not War!" as a funny joke and took him trick or treating with the neighbours and their kids. Everyone thought he was cute, and our 80 something year old neighbour loved it, and gave him a hug and a tangerine.

Yesterday, I sent the pics to my mom and dad and family as I do to keep them in the loop of our lives as I am an American living in Scotland. I got an email from my dad this morning saying that he was offended by our costume and pretty much said, live your life keep us out of it. I fail to understand where a simple Halloween costume can cause so much offense. Sure, I can understand if it's Hitler or a

We hit rock bottom six months ago, and financially we are really down and out pending a court case. We refuse to borrow from friends, and I need to see a doctor for painful joints but we cant afford it. Does anybody have suggestions. I live in RSA. I would rather be dead than a burden to anybody.

I think some of the woman I work with think I look at their chests when I'm talking to them, but I'm absolutely not. Womans chests have defintely got their uses, but they're not that interesting, especially with a woolly jumper on.

I think my problem is when someone asks me a question, man or woman, I tend to look downwards a little when in reflection mode.
I kind of stare into infinity, when I'm thinking, not really looking at anything, but more inward reflecting. I think this is rather than be distracted by their stare. This is not a problem with men, but is with some woman. I'm becoming conscience of them raising their arms or papers to cover their breasts.

I don't like people to think I'm some sort of pervert. What the hell do I do about these self conscious woman? I don't really want to raise a debate about it in work, and it's much too a subconscious reaction on my part to change. Any ideas?

You are a member of a minority group and you look for a better paid job. Someone from the majoritary group sends you a job offer that targets specifically people from you minority group (they want to hire someone from that group to work with problems occuring in that particular group). Would you feel that the person that sends you the job offer reduces you to you minority group identity and feel offended by this?

It's almost deer season in Georgia.I don't have a problem with hunting if it's for food. What is the psychology behind guys who strap a bloody deer to the front of their truck like a gruesome hood ornament or trophy? It disturbs my children and myself when we see this out on the road.

Why can't billionaires be content with being millionaires? Look at how much better the world's econmies would be. Prices would be lower and more people would be able to survive and have dignity?

My wife is too good.She wont tell lie. But when she comes to know any one telling lies she gets very angry and she will start scolding them. She gets angry even if they do some small mistakes like telling lies, showing partiality.
She is unable to forgive and forget others mistakes.
Because of that she always complaints about others daily. I really dont like that. When I say leave it she gets angry with me too. She could not even forgive and forget her mistakes also. Because of that she is always finding faults on others and she is not enjoying her life.
So I am very upset, I dont the way to change her or suggest her

Please give me some suggestions
