I mean is our country really getting told the truth about good sexual health or are we all being lied to by the media and school education and overcensorism. We have more higher divorce rate I think that any other nation and probobly more STDS and over consumption of drugs and should I mention an Obesity problem. How come the Europeans and other countries in the world can get it right and we can't?

I was thinking of reuniting with my ex-husband. I was talking to an elderly friend. She recommended that I don't because my ex-husband was abusive and controlling. So, I ended up not moving to another state to be with my ex-husband

Well, I just found out that this elderly friend was telling others that "I will never find anyone because I did not go back to my ex-husband." In other words, who would marry me?

This elderly friend used to tell me to be strong and not go back and these were "tests" for me to learn to take a stand.

Now, she says that I will never find anyone. I have stopped talking to her.

Some people are so gossipy. I guess that I just have to ignore it.

To Whomever drank my drink,

I was extremely surprise to come to
find not only one, but both my
energy drinks opened and consumed in
the break room fridge. I will give
you the benefit of the doubt and say you
either didn't see my name/receipt or didn't recognize
it's existence. The bottom line is, it wasn't
yours; I know myself and most of us here work
hard to get what we want rather
then take from others. Notifications have been
made, so you'll never know what or who's items
are in this fridge (beware). I can't seem to
understand what was so hard of purchasing it yourself; it
was on sale for all sake! Anyway, I would
appreciate if you didn't eat my stuff.



`````````````
If not tell me what I need to change/add/delete.


PS: I work grocery store with plenty of people. I'm not someone people hate, I do my job. They were two Mtn Dew Amps (energy drinks). I'm also at the bottom of the job options there.

All advice appreciated.

While I think I know which one of them is senior, he isn't the person who hired me. Should I give in my notice to the person who interviewed me?

It's pretty casual employment, being front of house at a theatre, but I want to get this right...

The truth is, we get a portion of the delivery charge. It's about half of it. It almost pays for gas at the price gas is running these days; it does not pay for oil and tires, or the danger we're in, frankly. (Pizza drivers are in the top 10 most dangerous professions.) The store keeps the other half. Is this a matter of education, or is it a way for people to absolve themselves from tipping us for good service?

Servers in restaurants take orders, fill drinks, bring food, bring dessert, take care of your needs (if they want 20%) for the course of your meal. A pizza delivery person just brings it to you. Yet, people are saying a 20% tip is "normal". I'd like to know why.

Is it rude not to invite certain children to my wedding reception?

Currently, I have 15 children invited to my wedding. They are all family members; nieces, nephews, first cousins of my Fi and I.

My friend (w/ no children) says it's rude not to invite the children of our friends and co-workers.

The cost of a child's plate at my reception site is $30. If we invite the children of friends and co-workers I'll have to add 20 kids. Having 15 kids will cost me about $500, but having 35 will cost me $1000. That's a huge difference. Our wedding already costing us A LOT b/c we have 130 guests. We orginally had list of 150-160, but we had to cut 30 adults b/c the cost was getting crazy.

This is really an issue of cost. But, we need to have our family there. My family is very important to me. Our neices and nephews are very close to us and we are huge figures in their lives. Our friend's children, not so much. We see them, but we're not close.

they look for some shoes right? you ask them if they need help and they say no. but they still keep looking in the same place and you ask them again and they get a B!TC#Y attitute when they say "I said Im just looking".

now if they have to keep looking then obviously it is important for them to find whatever size they want whether they really plan to buy it or not. otherwise they would move elsewhere. so why do they do this and not accept help when you offer it?

dont get me wrong, I dont give a rats @$$ if they find what they are looking for since I dont work on commision. but if they are struggling and Im just standing around cause they refuse help then it makes me look bad.

Yes i do work at a shoe store and it is customer service.

I like going for a walk/jogging on streets every night. Today, while i was jogging a car stopped by and some one threw a bottle of beverage at me. i was showered with the full bottle. I could not even note down the licence plate as it happened in split second. Now, why do people enjoy doing things like this and what would you do?

One of the employees at the gym I go to is really annoying and likes to talk to me for some reason. I don't want to sound rude because I go to this gym frequently and see this person almost everyday. I don't want to change gyms or anything like that but what should I do??

Has anyone noticed this also? People who ask normal questions are put down. The people who answer questions get thumbs down just because someone didn't agree with the answer they gave. I can see where the thumbsdown is needed, but if the answer is completely opinionated, there is no need whatsoever. Not everyone thinks the same way as you. If you think a question is dumb, don't answer it...and try to spell correctly if you're over the age of twelve.
Does anyone agree with me? Just wondering

He and this person were just transfered to another job site. At first they thought it would be a good idea to carpool. The problem is, this guy is not dependable, leaves work early sometimes (which would leave my husband stranded without a ride). He turns the air conditioner on full blast and freezes my husband to death. He is a terrible driver and doesnt watch the road and slams on his brakes all the time. He talks jibberish non stop all the way to work (25 miles) My husband's nerves are so tore up after dealing with this! He doesnt want to hurt the guys feelings. What to do or say?
