Human Resource (employment) managers believe "the past is prelude". This means that they believe a person will always be what they have been. That we cannot change. Do you believe that we can overcome our failures and become...

nameerf I think our past is what makes us who we are today. Our failures shouldn't define us but help us to grow. Hopefully we can reinvent ourselves if we feel the need to prove ourselves to others.

With today's world of two working parents or just two working partners, balancing household duties becomes a chore of monumental proportions. When both my husband and I had over 40 hours a week jobs, it became quite a struggle to...

nameerf Wow I just can't imagine having to do it all. Different cultures are very interesting. Half the time you don't know any different so it's just the way things are. Thanks for the response.

My husband, two kids and I are moving to England for 10 months from the US for his work. I'm frantically trying to pack everything and was wondering if anyone here at my lot has done this before? Or if anyone has any advice for...

nameerf I did some of that. Fortunately when I got here the Boots right next door carries the Dove shampoo and conditioner I've been using. Oh, and Cadbury Eggs still. I think by next year I will definitely be sick of Cadbury Eggs. Benedryl is a good point. I was over...

Alright, help me out here. I think I missed something, or did I? When they were walking through the woods, didn't Juliette say something to Jack about how she dragged Austin (kate) into the jungle, handcuffed herself to her...

nameerf Pregnancy is the one time that the female body will deny itself key vitamins and minerals and actually deplete the body for the baby. In some ways it is an invasion of sorts.

I have hit a block in a piece that I am working on and my old buddy who reads all my unfinished writing is away in mushy mushy land with his girlfriend. Whenever I hit a block I have him read what I've written and critique so we...

nameerf Fortunate for us, we all get along and take our time going through crits. Everyone is on the same page. It's better to get the opinion from someone before it goes to the editor.

nameerf Sheffield area. I was aware of the lack of air conditioning. We are working with a relocation specialist, but even then the company doesn't tell you everything. We went over for a trip in January and I broke out in the worst hives (allergic reaction). It took...

nameerf Poor Betty's father. She is a crazed lunatic, isn't she? It'd be nice if they would just go through the last bit of the season, but it always seems that first seasons have a lot of repeats as new viewers come on.

nameerf My husband is the same way. If he didn't earn it, he doesn't want it. Mansions and expensive cars are expensive to maintain, but with the amount of money that you would have would definitely cover the expense. Thanks for the response.

nameerf That is the rub isn't it? Yes, your financial problems will probably be over, but it opens this whole other can of worms. With the Powerball lottery, you can choose either an annuity over 25 years or the cash value of the annuity now which generally is about...

nameerf I agree and disagree with your statements. While I agree a home should be a place where everyone does their share of the work without being asked, I do not believe that happens in most homes. Unfortunately, resentment can come on rather fast if someone feels...

nameerf I've found that to be very true. But even while working, things had to get done at home too. So maybe there just isn't an end to work.

nameerf I think that's why my jaw dropped when my sister in law said she doesn't do the dishes or his laundry or several other things. When I decided to stay home, I knew that I was going to be taking on the responsibility of taking care of the household. I'll fold my...

nameerf The picking up after himself and put stuff where it belongs seems to be a major problem with my husband. I think that would be the most helpful thing. If when you are done with something you put it back where you got it from. There are a lot of little things...

nameerf Wow. You are one impressive woman. I know that when I was working during our busy season, I basically work up went to work, worked all day, came home and ate dinner, then went to bed to start all over the next day. All our chores lagged while my husband dealt...

nameerf Very funny. I agree about the nagging part. It can get a little overdone if someone thinks the other isn't pulling their weight. In a perfect world, we would be able to work as much as we liked and still be able to make the amount of money to live the way we...

nameerf Ah, but how do you balance it without someone getting the short end of the straw. Should it be based on time worked? I worked more than my husband most of the time. Or should it be based on pay? My husband made more than me. What about those times when you...
