Melanie Brown Sometimes, it's tough to get through those hard weeks. I know for me, I have had to take on jobs that were killing me. I hope that he finds a job that he loves and pays the bills soon. Even if it's for a short time.

How many hours do you sleep? Do you think you get enough?

snowy @snowy22315 (180703) • United States 16 Aug 16

I sleep about usually between 5 and 6 hours. I think I could sleep a bit more..but I guess I get enough because I don't generally feel tired the next day.

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 11 Aug 16

I stopped by Costco this morning to pick up a few things and there, just before you get to the noisy, expensive three witches Halloween display, was a row of these huge stuffed bears. Yes, they are almost eight feet tall and have...

Melanie Brown . I personally believe in true separation of church and state. It doesn't bother me at all if gay people get married, and I completely support it. But I understand why certain denominations do not perform gay marriages, and they should not be forced to do...

Spending free time reading

Kerry @lovebeingmummy2 (806) • Aberdeen, Scotland 13 Aug 16

I love to read and it's a great hobby to have. I often read books on iBooks now but still prefer the old fashioned book too. Do you read books or prefer the online version?

Melanie Brown I prefer printed books. I'm not sure why I think it's because I work on a computer 8 hours (or more) a day! I also like the smell of books.

My eldest son brought home his tomato plant that he grew at school over the holidays. It grows so fast and is very thirsty! Have you grown tomatoes before?

Melanie Brown I have never had much luck in growing tomatoes. My mom usually gets these huge plants. No idea what she does. I think she cast a spell on them. (I'm kidding of course).

A noble profession no more

solxee @sol_cee (38219) • Philippines 13 Aug 16

Melanie Brown I completely agree. In Ohio, where I live, there are currently about 500 applicants per position. It's far too competitive especially when teaching seems to be a legacy situation.

Melanie Brown Wow that is a very scary situation! I know one time my mom texts me when I'm at Target (she rarely texts) and says "Taking your dad to the ER" that is all it says. I call her, and call her about 20 times. No answer. It just rings and rings and rings. I...

Melanie Brown Well, certainly he can move on to the next place in his life. He's a married father now so sometimes that changes your priorities. Also, I mean there is allure to him going out on top. At a certain point your athletic career can only go down. I hope he is...
