jmessina Sounds like this guy is not very mature. The way the economy is going he may be resting for a very long time. Many years ago you could quit your job and find another one with not too much trouble. You can not do this today in this economy. Like I said,...

jmessina I once bought an Ipod Nano and it did not work properly. I could not transfer music to it so I sent it back to Amazon for a full refund. Amazon is very good with their return policy. Buying accessories in a wireless phone store is also very expensive. You can...

Those of you who take pain killers have you ever stop to wonder if the pill you take is killing you or saving your life. I ask this because every time you pick up a pack or a bottle there are so many different side effects....

jmessina Any medication you take is no good for you. It's a question whether you want to live with the pain or not. Chronic pain should never go untreated and taking pain medicine is only masking the real problem.

jmessina Children should not be banned at the church ceremony. Don't know why clergymen want to change anything. This is part of life and some children are noisy. If they get out of hand just escort them out of the church. This is how it works and should remain this...

jmessina It's common to give money at a wedding. Money will help the couple pay for all their wedding expenses. Gifts are given at the bridal shower and the couple usually gets everything they need at the shower.

jmessina When the lights go out, which is not often in NY, I light a candle and read a book. Or I may just listen to my mp3 player and fall asleep. Hopefully when I wake up the electricity are back on.

jmessina I can spend $60 and not by any food at all and this is only for two people. It just keeps getting worse. There are only going to be two classes of people in this country, the poor and the rich. You know which class we all fall in! I blame this government...

jmessina LadyT1208, I agree with you 200%. I am also involved with the AARP and the petitions to NYS Senator to keep Health care Cost down for Seniors. This government is always picking on the middle class people instead of the rich people who can afford to pay more...

jmessina There is no such thing as a cheap lawyer. Have you tried Family Court? That would be the best route to go if expenses are an issue.

jmessina I know the feeling of power outages. I went through a few of them myself. There was only one thing I could do and that is to sit outside and talk to your neighbors. The house was too hot to sit in front of a candle and read a book. Some people may not even...

jmessina For some people, $4 for a cup of coffee is more important that gasoline. For me it's $4 for a gallon of gas. I would never pay more than $1.00 for any cup of coffee. As for gasoline you don't have much of a choice when you have to use your car to go to work...
