What are your feelings about a married couple in love but not sleeping together?

CharRay7 @CharRay7 (1549) • United States 3 Jul 08

Hi, I've been married to my hubby for 9 years now and yes we still love each other. For the past 7 years, we've slept in separate rooms, in separate beds. Reasons: 1. he likes it warm, I like it cool 2. he snores and I'm...

AuntieEm721 Good sleep is a precious commodity and sleeping separately and awakening refreshed is surely more conducive to a good marriage than both of you not getting the sleep you need. Seems to me your marriage is "real", perhaps realer than some, since you have...

Have your children ever accidently injured you?

littleone3 @littleone3 (2063) 13 Jun 08

At the moment my partner is sitting here with three fractured fingers. He fractured them when he was play fighting with my 15 year old son. They both went for the same move and my son got there first. All you heard was a loud...

AuntieEm721 More than once. For a time it seemed that I forever had a Hot Wheels, Tinker Toy or a Lego piercing my instep. I like to think it was an accident and not a series of carefully planned booby-traps.

For those of you who are pro-choice, could you perform an abortion?

Yestheypayme2dothis @Yestheypayme2dothis (7874) • United States 16 Jun 08

For those of you who are pro-choice, could you perform an abortion? Every woman has a has a right to a choice in our country. I am pro-life. I could never perform an abortion. What if the law says if you want an abortion, you have...

AuntieEm721 Back in the bad old days women did in fact perform abortions ON THEMSELVES and each other because no other option existed. Professional help wasn't available. It wasn't a solution obviously as abortions still exist. I think you have the erroneous impression...

Hemorrhoids! I need to get to the "bottom" of the problem.

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 15 Jun 08

I can joke because this is my husband's problem, not mine. But this man does have a serious problem and might just be the world's most stubborn man! He's made an appointment to see a proctologist on July 18,...

AuntieEm721 I feel his pain...hard to not whine when your hiney is aflame! Here is a home remedy that works. Take several cosmetic cotton pads..the square or round ones. Soak these with witch hazel. Fold the pads in half. Wedge a good size stack of these into the butt...

Do you pay if you're not happy?

madebyrobyn @madebyrobyn (616) • Australia 15 Jun 08

I just spent all day at the hairdresser. I went with my mother to her favourite hairdresser so I thought it was safe so I handed over my 'past my waist length locks'. I told him that I wanted a nice deep blood red with lighter red...

AuntieEm721 I'm sorry! I used to have very long hair that I was very protective of and I had a few nightmare treatments in my time. First, yes the hair will grow. Second, even if you paid them you can still write them a letter and include before and after digital photos...

Do you use a fan when you sleep?

golfproo @golfproo (1839) • Canada 15 Jun 08

Hi There, I have an interesting habit. I always put my fan on at night when I go to bed. It could be freezing outside but I still always put it on. I just can't seem to get to sleep without it. Even when I go away on vacations...

Have you been dubbed "snobby" when you are really just shy?

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 15 Jun 08

I had that happen to me. I am not very shy now, but 30 years ago I was terribly so! I was looked down upon by people who didn't know me because they thought I was a snob. (They were actually the snobs by judging me without even...

AuntieEm721 I was in the past, and I'm sure I still am today, upon occassion. The difference is....now I don't care! Worrying too much about it just made me more shy and uncomfortable back then. Now I just be who I am at any given moment and accept that I will win some...

AuntieEm721 The hormones that trigger your cycle to start are probably causing your emotional upset. This is normal. What isn't normal is to actually go so far as to hit your boyfriend. If you have symptoms that are making you lash out physically you really need to see...

PMS.... is it real or an excuse?

spygrrl007 @spygrrl007 (112) • United States 15 Jun 08

Do you believe PMS is real? How bad is it for you? Do women use it as an excuse? For me I have it terribly, I am a whole other person (I hate that person) and I have talked to my GYN about it. She recommended zoloft to take...

AuntieEm721 Yes, I believe PMS is real. I also think that what can give it the appearance of not being real is that the things that bother you so intensely during this time period are the same things that bother you the rest of the month. But the ability to ignore the...

What parts of the Chicken do you like?

marciascott @marciascott (25529) • United States 18 May 08

What do you do when someone passes wind?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 12 Jun 08

It's always an uncomfortable situation when you're with say, two other people and all of a sudden a mysterious smelly odour wafts through the air. What do you do? You can either say something and deny so no one thinks it's you but...

AuntieEm721 I would ignore it. I have no problem with being the suspect so I don't feel compelled to set the record straight. Now, if this is family we are talking about, I may just crack a joke about it. You know, the old, "jeeeez, what you been eating, roadkill"?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 12 Jun 08

AuntieEm721 Instead of starting and then quitting why not set a "trial" period mentally on this job. Talk with your partner and agree that after 6 months if you still feel this way that you will stop working for another agreed upon period of time. Lots of people find that...

AuntieEm721 I'm afraid my first response would be to tell him "Okay, big shot, but buy a really big one and stuff it up your a$$" Yes, it was disrespectful, and he will ultimately pay the big price for this kind of interaction. He isn't just buying a pencil box he has...

AuntieEm721 I am living. I am encouraging my children to live as well. Survival is a basic level of existence that even a plant can achieve with a minimum of positive factors. The parental expectations you mention can contribute to the feeling of "just surviving"....
