dksemke The beauty of your situation is that you don't have to put up with dirty dishes in the sink. You say your housekeeper has a habit of doing that? Unless that "housekeeper" is your husband!!!!....then make it clear that the dishes are part of her continuing...

There is this guy that I started talking to online a month ago. He thinks he's in love with me. How do I get him to fall out of love with me. He's really nice & all. I just don't want to date him. I'd just like to keep him as a...

dksemke First of all - anything written on the net is just "talk" so the gift thing is meaningless unless you give him your mailing address or agree to meet him. I hope you don't intend to do either. Guys like this are not interested in friendship. In fact they are a...

hunterkim_07 @hunterkim_07 (458) • Philippines 29 Apr 10

How would you react to this statement? When I received this as a text message from my friend, I paused and thought for a moment. Then suddenly I realized the true meaning of the message. It's hilarious and pretty 'true'. Because...

dksemke It's a little bit of truth in humor and is an amusing quote. That is all it is - nothing to look to for deeper meaning.

dksemke It is hard to be away from someone you love and there is no "cure" for that. But letters are such a slow way to communicate. Do you both have computers and internet service? You can make long distance phone calls thru the net at no additional charge, if you...

dksemke Once a person matures beyond the bed wetting stage, their body will wake them if they have to go. An alarm shouldn't be necessary. Setting one to purposely get up and go is creating a habit that interups sleep and that is not a good thing. Usually, the older...

dksemke It looks like the general sentiment is the same as mine - that making a gift of your wedding ring to another couple is not such a good idea for a number of reasons. Another-from the man's point of view....you are giving him the ring to give his finance. Poor...

dksemke You seem to be spending too much time trying to figure out how NOT to say what you really feel. How simple to just say " I miss you", or "I have really missed your company". It doesn't sound weak or foolish or whiney and needy. It sounds sincere. Any other way...

dksemke Mow lawns, babysit or get a job at a grocery store or fast food place for a few hours a week. You'll be better off, get a pay check you can count on, have time with friends, time for school and a LIFE. The internet is not the way to get where you want to go....

dksemke The way to accumulate more money is not to work hard for it, but to let it work hard for you. You are doing just that by investing. If you consider that a person investing just $2000 a year in a IRA starting at age 35 would have aprox. a million dollars in...
