Be honest, have you ever texted while driving? I just watched a news segment that said even though the majority of people know it is dangerous, they still do it. Have you ever done it? I try to stay away from doing it. I don't...

hmkoct5 It really hit home with me the other day when I saw what happened to a motorcyclist who was looking at a text. He ran in to a car that had stalled on the highway. He didn't see it because he was looking at his phone. This really hit home with me. I don't ever...

hmkoct5 I live in a big city and I can say that there are a lot of people who do text while driving. I see them doing it while going 70 miles per hour down the highway. It is so scary. We just had a motorcyclist drive in to a stalled car that was on the highway...

hmkoct5 It's so great to know that there are people like you! Driving is such a responsibility and we have to remember that we have to take it seriously.

hmkoct5 I would feel the same way if I hurt somebody because I was texting. I would never forgive myself either. I agree that dialing is the same thing. I try not to use my phone at all when driving. My husband sometimes calls me when he is driving and I always tell...

Pretend it is the old days (like 15 years ago -- lol!) and your car breaks down in a small, scary town. You only have one quarter to call for help. Who would you call and why would you choose that person?

hmkoct5 I'd probably call my husband no matter what because I would want him to know where I was and I'm sure he would take it from there with getting me help. It's so much nicer to have cellphones now.

hmkoct5 I am pretty sure 911 existed 15 years ago. I think it was even considered a free call. That would save you a quarter!

hmkoct5 I would call the person who knew me best too. It would definitely be my husband or if he wasn't around, it would be my Dad. I know they would know what to do and how to help me. It would be quite scary to be stranded in a small town where I didn't know...

I was born in Columbus, OH. I only lived there for about 5 years. I don't really remember much about it all. We then moved to a small suburb of Chicago when I was 5. I lived there for many years before moving about 20 minutes...

hmkoct5 I've only been to Michigan once, and I was so young that I don't really remember it. I can understand how you feel about wanting to get out and explore new areas. I think it's great that you are going to college and will have the opportunity to do that!

Would you want your friends to tell you if they knew your husband was cheating? The answer for me is definitely yes. I have a real problem with being lied to and misled. If I had a friend who knew the truth, I would really want to...

hmkoct5 Yes, I would definitely find out if it is true first as well. Some people do like to stir up trouble and aren't necessarily honest. I agree with you... there is no need to cheat. I think it is better just to end the relationship if you are unhappy. I know some...

My husband has a real aversion to swearing. He grew up with an abusive stepfather, who swore at him constantly. It made him feel terrible and really hurt his self-esteem. As a result, my husband never swears. Do you think it is...

hmkoct5 No, don't worry about it. It's not like he gets upset or anything. I let one slip now and then, especially if I am super upset or really stressed. Sometimes, it just happens! He really doesn't mind a bit here and there. I think it just really bugged him as a...

hmkoct5 No, my hubby is super sweet and very level-headed. I try to tell him all the time how wonderful he is. I think his self-esteem has improved since he was a child, but he still has trouble sometimes. I'm glad he didn't end up like his step-father either. Then,...

hmkoct5 I don't want to startle you, but have you been to the doctor? If you are gaining weight, only in your stomach, and it looks like a pregnancy, there is a possibility you could have a fibroid. It happened to a friend of mine. When she had it removed, it weighed...

hmkoct5 I think I am more a watcher. I like watching people play cards and such. The only thing I like to do at casinos are the slot machines, but that can get boring after a while. I do enjoy playing blackjack, but I wouldn't play for money, because I know I would...
