I love to polish my nails when they have reached a length worthy of color. I would touch them up when the color on the tips would wear off or if the polish chipped away. They always looked neat. When a touch up was not enough,...

JanieJetz I think if you work in a service-oriented field then you shouldn't wear polish at work, unless it's clear. When I was a teenager working as a waitress, I wasn't allowed to wear polish. I like wearing it as an adult, but it definitely is high maintenance...

I hate mopping. We have an old tile floor, that is white, discolored, and scratched up. No matter what I do, it never looks clean. What is your worst household chore and why?

JanieJetz I'd rather do dishes over laundry! I dislike laundry because next comes ironing, and I don't like to iron either!!

OK, does anyone else find issues with the way foods are being packaged for convenience? On the one hand, yes, they are convenient, but on the other, why? I love yogurt and eat it almost every day for breakfast, but I refuse to...

JanieJetz Good one. I think I heard recently on the news about a debate over whether to put refrigerators in cars!

JanieJetz Some strong statements, but I appreciate your intellect and willingness to start such a debate. I am not religious and do not have a denomination. What I find ironic, though, is a story I'm about to tell where not knowing about religion hurt my schoolwork...

I think many of us have aspirations to write a book based on our experiences and our imaginations. I've always wanted to but for some reason can't sit down and write much past an outline of what I'm interested in pursuing. I...

JanieJetz I like the idea of blocking out an hour and just writing. It might help me get through some writer's block and focus my ideas. They are so scattered right now because I'd love to write a fiction book, but draw a lot from my own personal experience so much...

JanieJetz Thanks for your comments! Really makes me think. I have a friend who said she never wanted children (has been married 10 years) and accidentally got pregnant, and decided to keep it. She is due in about 3 weeks and is very nervous. I'm anxious for her, but...

JanieJetz I saw a great quote that went something like "if your dog is fat, then YOU need more exercise". I thought that was great, being that I have a dog, and I could stand to lose a few pounds! Really hit home.... and I am now taking my dog for longer walks than I...

JanieJetz Do you think he would be open to the idea of you walking the dog? Maybe you could tell him you "need some exercise" or "want to feel protected" while you are walking in the neighborhood, and could you borrow his dog while you walk? Just an idea.... good...

JanieJetz Good question! My liberal heart wants to say no, a dress code should not be imposed on students or employees. But my practical mind feels a little differently. Dress codes maintain a standard, allowing a person to focus on something else (like school, work)...

Lets say I am rich and that I wanted to help the poor. I want to help 1 million people or families. I would give them each $1,000 a month for 12 months for the next 3 years. That comes to a total of $3.6 billion. Do you...

JanieJetz This is a complex question. While the poor need money for basic needs (shelter, food, school fees for their children), giving them i.e. $1,000 each could very well backfire. I have worked in a number of under-developed countries in Africa and can pretty...

JanieJetz I like soups with a clear broth base. It just FEELs healthy going down! Beef vegetable, chicken, minstrone, italian wedding, etc. But in winter, sometimes I crave something more hearty. I love brunswick stew, and broc/cheddar when it's cold outside and my...

JanieJetz I like both, but I really like responding since it's not something I dreamed up, but am reacting to, which is more of a challenge, and more fun! It also makes me feel like an advice columnist (wannabe, anyway!).
