maurs99 It's absolutely disgusting. People who can be this cruel to animals obviously have no respect for life at all. It's a total act of cowardice as I believe people like this would never confront someone or something that would take them on for their outrageous...

How do you handle someone flirting with your spouse/significant other?

julialaurene0206 @julialaurene0206 (1262) • Philippines 29 May 07

He never seems to know that other woman are flirting with him, so he never flirts back. Therefore, I've never had a reason to be jealous. I'm actually flattered that they find the person that I'm with attractive. My husband knew...

maurs99 I don't wear much make-up at all. Not even lippie. I will make the effort if we are going out somewhere nice or even maybe a job interview but that's about it. I am too lazy to apply makeup every day and my skin doesn't like makeup anyway.
