RebeccaScarlett Men want their lovers to wear skirts... I assume this is because jeans are considered to show off body shape too much and tempt other men? Let's think about this: In a dangerous situation, with a man who wanted to "have his way" with a woman against her...

RebeccaScarlett Many parents are so afraid that their children will suffer; either they will not have enough money, will not be treated with respect, or will be hurt emotionally that they only see the negative in a potential partner and not the positive. This is the way...

My husband and I love to eat out, watch movies and shop. But with the increase in the prices of goods plus the economy not doing so well, we both decided to start to live a simple life and save. After all, spending too much on...

RebeccaScarlett If you have many different grocery stores in your area, always check out which store offers certain products the cheapest, and keep an eye out for sales. Remember that libraries can rent out movies, too, so it will be cheaper to stay in and watch a movie than...

The other week while shopping in Tesco's when I went to buy the week's shopping I noticed that the value squash bottles have changed!! Instead of buying 1 litre, you now buy 1.5 litres, it states that it is double concentrated and...

RebeccaScarlett Oh you always have to be careful about this! Companies make it very hard to compare prices...for instance toilet paper there are different numbers of rolls in different packages. You think more rolls for the same price would be a better deal, but read how many...

Are you frugal?

TrinityDownpour @TrinityDownpour (790) • Liechtenstein 12 Feb 13

These days economy is bad. So you have to save every penny you had. Of course you would still pay for good quality stuff that you really really want. But at the same time you still want to compare prices of the said item and maybe...

RebeccaScarlett I do not have any loyalty to certain brands. For most things, I will buy whatever is cheapest, usually the store brand. If a name brand is on a good sale for cheaper than the store brand, or I have a coupon that will make it cheaper than the store brand, I buy...

RebeccaScarlett Like everyone has said, it really depends on where you live. My family of 3 can survive on about $1900 CAD per month if we do not buy any extras -- we make our own meals from scratch from cheap groceries, and never order take out, go out to the movies or to do...

RebeccaScarlett A mother's milk does not usually come in fully until the baby is 3-4 days old. Before that it is pre-milk that is very high in protein. A baby does not actually need to eat that much in the first few days--he or she saved up some body fat while in the...

RebeccaScarlett This is wrong, and good for you for resisting when she is an attractive woman. I agree that maybe you should tell your former boss, but you need to be careful how you tell it. Perhaps just hint that his wife seems lonely and maybe she needs something to keep...

RebeccaScarlett Are you sure it is eczema and not baby acne? Babies and young children can get pimples too, and although hydrogen peroxide will help with pimples, it wouldn't help eczema because it is drying. It is likely to make eczema more itchy and painful. Eczema can...

Swearing

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 2 Oct 12

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...

RebeccaScarlett Words are just words to my husband and me. It's context that is important. It is possible to hurt or offend someone very deeply without every saying a single "swear" word, and we should be teaching our children to avoid saying anything that is meant to cause...
