venicebloom Sounds to me like it is time for change! Kids need to do everything that has to be done in a home, and to share responsibility. They need to learn to give of themselves. So, my suggestion would be to teach them how to do laundry and tell them they are on their...

venicebloom I think the househunting part is the most fun for me right now. When I get frustrated because we haven't sold our house, I go cruising around the neighborhood where I want to live, in S. Florida. The resolution is great, and I am getting to know my way around...

venicebloom I recently bought a Canon Powershot A530 and I love it. I had another digital camera and never got along with it. With the A530 you can use it on automatic if you are a beginner, like me, or you can do all the settings yourself once you know what you are...

venicebloom I would unplug the telphone before going to bed. There is no excuse for that kind of behaviour. If you leave the phone unplugged at night for a while, hopefully she will give up trying to call you. Just be sure to leave the phone line draped across the phone...

venicebloom I agree with some of the other responses - this is far, far too soon for them to be deciding they want a child, no matter how it is conceived. I think he is asking too much of you, and creating what could be a very difficult, heart-breaking situation. If I...

venicebloom Yes, I think the legal age in the US should be 18 years old. I grew up in England, where the age to purchase alcohol is 18. Keeping the drinking age at 21 does not discourage teens from drinking, but just makes drinking more attractive as it is "forbidden...

venicebloom Absolutely he should have a curfew! Teenagers so want to be adults, but they do not have the judgment to behave as one. No matter how well they have been raised, their emotions (and hormones) overrule their common sense in most cases. 9pm is plenty late...

venicebloom Yes, I always wear a helmet. I have ridden all my life and in my opinion, not wearing a helmet is just dangerous. If you have a fall, not only can you hit your head on the ground, a fence or whatever, but your horse could accidentally step on you or kick...
