When will the government require people to enter the workforce only after they reached a certain age? Say 40 or 50 for example? Hell, you only live once!

I can understand the thought process of a person trying to get through a green light before it changes, but why do people floor it (like 65ish in a 45 mph zone) when traffic is stopped ahead? The light is going to be red for at least the next 30 seconds, so why do people weave in and out of traffic and try to get ahead of each other when everyone is going to end up at the same place anyways? Would you be wasting gas by constantly doing this?

My ancestry is mixed African-American and Native American. The term griffe describes a person with mixed ***** and indian ancestry. If someone calls me that, should I be offended? Also, I consider myself a Black Indian because of my dual ancestry, and I acknowledge both parts. Should I be discouraged by African-Americans who think that I should just focus on black heritage alone and think it traitorous to focus on another? Should I be offended by the opinions of American Indians who are narrow minded and think that there is no such thing as Black Indians and think that I am a "wannabe?"

Please, no silly or disrespecful answers. I'm in the middle of a "culture shock".

I don't want to buy a dress that I won't use again, and I don't really have an LBD in my closet. JCrew has one for $99, silk, boat neck, sleeveless, A-line, to the knee. I was thinking with some pink or yellow open toed slingbacks? Is it really neccessary to adhere to ridgid rules if I brighten it up?

I am a member of a local homeschool group. Most of us have each other's email and I send out a monthly newsletter for the group. That is pretty much the only time I send emails to anyone unless I have a question or other business with the group. The problem is that a few of the other group members send forwards to our group. Some members of the group are also members of other groups and the result is that I will sometimes get 3 or 4 copies of the same email forward from different people, all in the group. I would really like to ask the group to NOT send email forwards to the homeschool group, but I don't want to upset anyone. I usually just delete them, but when I get multiple copies it get annoying. Should I suck it up and keep deleting or say something at our next meeting?

Last Halloween I went to a party dressed as a hooker. I went all out with the shaved legs, makeup, wig etc. I really looked good (if I say so myself) after allot of drinking I was being hit on by this rather good looking guy. One thing let to another and the (bottom) line is I had se% with him. I have been thinking about that night ever since. It turns me on when I do. It hasn`t happened since that night but I sort of wish it would. What do you think?

Not a question just a request! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT STICK ANY PART OF YOUR BODY OUT THE WINDOW OF A MOVING VEHICLE!!! Unless of course if you want to lose it! Don't you know that our roads and highways are like human chopping boards? When cars pass each other there is a small chance that they might pass to close. Having your arm out the window means theres a chance it can get chopped off if another car side swipes you or if a motorcyclist who is lane splitting decides to pass you too close. In any case the window frame of your car can become like a huge guillotine if your arm is out the window and another vehicle side swips you too close. Try using your imagination. This sort of thing happens all the time. Remember now the more cars and people there are the higher the chances of this sort of thing happening. There are over 300 million people inside the United States alone.

Also it's illegal to do in most jurisdictions and carries a minimum fine of $500.

My girls are 1 year and 3 weeks apart. Every year we throw one large family/friends party at our house on a day that falls between our girls birthdays. On each girl’s actual birthday, we do a small-scale day catered to them, with immediate family.

This year my daughter wants to go to Chuck E Cheese. How do we invite grandparents and her closest cousins/parents to come hang out and have fun, but make it clear that if they come, they will need to pay for their own food/drinks/game tokens?? I'm not being cheep, I just can't afford to throw 1 HUGE dinner party (usually around 60 people come) and two small parties every year (grandparents and sister/brother-in-law+their kids come)

I learned the hard way last year, I was stuck with the bill at Chuck E. Cheese for $200.00 plus the large party costs on top of it. I'm not made of money!

How is the most polite way to tell immediate family they are welcome to come join, but pay their own way??

Thanks in advance! :)

or it is best to just try to forget about them? Stalking, while maybe not ideal, at least would get old after a while AND THEN I could more easily lose interest.

What do you think?
