RetiredArmyMan In this day in age, cell phones are a vital part of our lives especially when it comes to safety. If my car were to break down, I can call for help without ever leaving my car. I won't have to walk and take chance of someone grabbing me. Instead, I can wait in...

Do you prefer to buy a house or stay in a rented one?

Naxous @Naxous (973) • India 18 Jun 10

I always had this thought in my mind that it is better to live in a rented house.You can get rid of the hassles of maintaining the house just by paying a monthly rent and the owner takes care of everything.Whereas in a house owned...

RetiredArmyMan I like the idea of owning my own home because I can do what I want when I want without having to ask a landlord. However, there's an upside and a downside to either owning or renting. Just as you said, you don't have to worry about the repairs and such but you...

greenline @greenline (14838) • Canada 11 Aug 09

RetiredArmyMan I do most of the shopping because my wife hates to shop. I don't mind besides, I'm able to look at some things that she's not interested in such as tools and such. I'm always into something and need the tools to do them with. lol

RetiredArmyMan Friend, you really need to put your foot down in your own defense. It's shows time and time again that you're not going to get their support and it shows. I could not be like this all the time and neither should you. You have done so much to help them. Where...

CatsandDogs @CatsandDogs (13963) • United States 21 Dec 08

RetiredArmyMan I would most certainly talk to my spouse about it for he could've or had to be the one who put it on there. It was probably meant to be a joke OR a test to see if you'd come to him about it. So go talk to your husband about it and see if he's the one who did...

How do you keep your cat from biting you while he's taking a bath?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 8 Jul 07

RetiredArmyMan Cat's clean themselves and they don't like water. It's mean to give a cat a bath as we do. They don't like water and they clean themselves. I've never given my cat a bath, I've given my dog a bath but never a cat.

RetiredArmyMan Yeah I was and it was because of a friend being too rowdy in a bar. I tried to stop him or calm him down but it looked like a fight and we both were kicked out and barred from coming back. Oh well. There were others and other friends.
