Family / Re: Anything Wrong With Allowing My Wife To See A Male Gynecologist by minute(f): 4:59pm On Oct 28, 2012 |
I am sure that there is a VERY small percentage of Doctors that are not professional and things do happen for the worst . . . ever see 20/20 or 48Hrs? For the other 99.99% of the professionals, they are just that! Medical malpractice is so expensive that they cannot afford not to be. These Drs are required by law to have their nurses with them during an episiotomy not only to protect the patient but also to protect themselves as there are some patients out there that assume that the Drs are doing what they should not be doing and can and often times, make unbased allegations. As far as using a male OB-GYN, if you could see some of the things that I have seen, one would be a fricking fool not to use one. As a woman, having an episiotomy repair is not an overly pleasant experience whether it is being done by a man or a woman Dr. I guess a lot of it is modesty more than anything just as a man having his penis handled by another person other than their sexual partner. |

Family / Re: Does The LOVE For The Neighbor Still Exist? by minute(f): 11:55pm On Oct 25, 2012 |
Neighbor on one side is a fundamentalist Christian who has nothing good to say, nor has any charity to offer any neighbor who is NOT of the same fundamentalist mindset. Mrs. Neighbor takes great delight in sticking her head out the door with a bullhorn and letting the whole neighborhood know that my other neighbor, a gay man, is doomed to hell for his wickedness,every times he walks past her house. Based on that, I'd say not a chance. |
Religion / Re: How Do You Cope During A Boring Church Service? by minute(f): 2:17pm On Oct 14, 2012 |
Have you ever seen the services at a charismatic church? Some of them get rather active...people hopping around, speaking in tongues,tossing snakes back and forth, breaking out into song... Studied them a bit back in college. |
Religion / Re: Fertility Expert: 'I Can Clone A Human Being' by minute(f): 2:12pm On Oct 14, 2012 |
Leaving religion out it, because it has no basis in scientific facts, cloning can be defended or reviled based on how threatened you feel by it. Are you secured enough in yourself to face the prospect of another you? Are you secured enough in yourself to face the prospect that your clone might be engineered to be superior to you in many ways? Are you secure enough in your sex life to accept that sex is no longer needed for reproduction? I, for one, have no problem with meeting another me, even if it is a new and improved model. |
Romance / Re: Are Christian Brothers Less Interesting Than Other Men? by minute(f): 2:18pm On Oct 13, 2012 |
Christian brothers are sexually repressed and brainwashed to believe some guy in the sky will be pissed at them and not let them into heaven. Who wants to hang out with someone like that? |
Family / Re: Pls Help, My Marriage Is Killing Me. by minute(f): 1:55pm On Oct 13, 2012 |
You are either extremely misinformed or posting this to gain sympathy from others. Divorce is no fault. There is no contesting it. Even if the only place you have to go is out of state with family, then go. It's not illegal. You need a lawyer. Call the legal aid office in Nigeria and ask for legal assistance. Attorneys who work with most of these agencies work at no cost to you. |

Celebrities / Re: Home Alone Star: Macaulay Culkin Not Looking So Great by minute(f): 5:21am On Sep 30, 2012 |
Hollywood is what is wrong with Macauly Culkin. They take a regular kid with a bit of talent then they turn them to performing puppets. Meanwhile, they are busy making as much money as they can out of them which usually turns their families into money grabbing leaches so the poor little darlings end up completely dysfunctional. After a while the kid has grown up and no longer looks cute so they get dumped and all the hangers on fall away so they're left wondering why no-one loves anymore. At this point, the drugs and booze become a crutch and they usually either fade away or we get the high profile death in a hotel room somewhere . . . . 1 Like |
Health / Re: Watching TV Shortens Life Span by minute(f): 1:52pm On Sep 28, 2012 |
The headline is for shock value. The study said the problem is sedentary behavior. They could just as easily said that reading books shortens your life, because it also involves sitting still. The problem isn't watching TV, it's spending a certain amount of time without any physical activity. |
Family / Re: My Dad Has Been Detained 4 Two Months, Pls Help by minute(f): 12:21pm On Sep 25, 2012 |
Recieving stolen property is a crime so he will have to defend himself against that. He has no right until the law proves he is innocent. |

Family / Re: Rebuilding A Relationship After An Affair by minute(f): 3:06pm On Sep 15, 2012 |
When your arm is completely mangled beyond repair and hanging on by just a thread of gristle, the sensible thing to do is amputate and go on living without it. This is your relationship. |
Family / Re: Is It Disrespectful To Read Your Spouse's SMS? by minute(f): 9:33pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
No. That would be odd for me. I wouldn't do that to him, and I wouldn't expect him to do that to me. But at the same time,there's no secrecy between us, if for some reason he wanted to use my phone and happened to look at some messages, I wouldn't care, and i think he probably feel the same. |
Family / Re: How Do I Deal With An Annoying Father-in-law ? by minute(f): 8:30pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
Perhaps being as you do not feel comfortable to talk to him in person, why don't you use the ole back door?(MIL) If that option is not available then send him a card or better yet demand that your husband grow some balls and talk to HIS father about this problem. Insist that this be done before you go around the fil again and if the fil mentions it in an embarrassing or mocking way then don't go around anymore. Option 2 would be to tell him to stop being such an **** as no one enjoys being around when he is like that. GOOD LUCK as this is an extremely touchy subject. Remember that you do not have to learn to tolerate that type of behavior, just don't go around it! |
Family / Re: What Has Kept Your Relationship/marriage Moving? by minute(f): 8:03pm On Sep 02, 2012 |
Not taking every little thing seriously. Keeping your sense of humor intact. Fighting only the battles that really need to be fought,and choosing wisely which battles these are. Understanding that it's never EVER a 50/50 in marriage, and that one person always gives more. It does balance out over time,i think, but someone is always doing more at any given think. Not keeping score, like, "i took out the trash last time, so he has to now and I'm not doing it no matter how bad it stinks in here". That's just petty and silly, and in the meantime the house smells. Just do it. Finding little ways to say "I love you" without saying it. Keep the fires burning. Leaving little notes where you know he'll find them telling him what you're gonna do to him that night; walking up to him in the supermarket and whispering something hot in his ear accompanied by a discreet little grope;surprising him in the shower at a time neither of you is in a hurry to get dressed and go anywhere after the shower; sending him an email saying "I am going to ha.ve sEx tonight at 7, whether you are there or not", while you're watching TV, just reach over and go for his fly,and don't stop until he does; send him a really raunchy about how fantastic he was last night and how much you loved it when he did that thing he did . . . . I'm sure there must be 500 other things that you can do to keep him wanting you and no one else. Accepting him as he is, without always wondering "what might have been". Having what you want and wanting what you have. Remembering why you fell in love in the first place, and reminding him why he fell in love with you. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: After Romney's Speech At Republicans' Convention. What Do You Think Of Him? by minute(f): 6:56pm On Sep 02, 2012 |
As a wannabe Republican, I was dismayed with Romney's speech at the convention. There were some rhetorical crumbs to women,immigrants, Cubans and ulra right-wing evangelicals, it left me scratching my head. The biggie was, a criticism of how President Obama had almost no business experience when he took office. How many years of experience does Paul Ryan, the man who would be VP have? Zilch.None? |

Family / Re: Should A Pregnant Woman Go Clubbing? by minute(f): 4:17am On Jul 28, 2012 |
Seriously how many pregnant women do you see at clubs? Clubs have a few things in mind: drinking, one night stands and possibly drugs. Is that the kind of place a pregnant woman should be? It's not only incredibly trashy but socially wrong. Dinners,BBQs, family affairs are great. Those are the kind you need to be going to. But clubs, yeah right. 1 Like |
Family / Re: Lack Of Intimacy With Hubby by minute(f): 3:59am On Jul 28, 2012 |
She? Is this about you? You may be the craziest person I've encountered here. What would be the harm in leaving your marriage before begining an affair? That's what I wonder. And the harm is, if you think your marriage sucks and is abusive now, wait until you get caught, then you'll be in a whole new world of drama. Why be with someone who ultimately doesn't give a damn about you? For sex or otherwise? I mean she. |

Career / Re: Emotionally Abusive Bosses!!! by minute(f): 8:17pm On Jul 22, 2012 |
Human resources should not take sides. I would find out who they answer to and take it to them after going to the HR if they don't take you seriously. You can sue a former employer for saying anything derogatory if a prospective employer calls them. All they can verify is long you were there, what you were paid, etc. |
Religion / Re: Why Do You Attend The Church You Attend? by minute(f): 7:39pm On Jul 22, 2012 |
Sometimes church doesn't do anything for me at all. But then there are days that it does . . .there are times when I have a bad week and church puts me back on track. Otherwise you are absolutely right. Church does something for you that you might not get on your own. It guides you along,gives you thoughts to chew on . .Thoughts you might not come up with on your own. Also-if your church isn't doing this for you, if it isn't convicting you or anything, then I wouldn't blame you if you stopped going. Consider checking out other churches. |
Romance / Re: Are White Boyfriends Better Than Black Boyfriends? by minute(f): 9:51pm On Jul 09, 2012 |
To deny black men have a problem with women . . would be in MY CASE . . .very unrealistic. Every black man I've dated except one has failed . . . this means 5 adult men . .not the entire race. For the most part,they have either cheated, approached the issue of sex too quickly, did not take the relationship seriously, or were not as accomplished as I would hope. Even when I'm hit on by black men . . .I'm disappointed at how disrespectful they can be. In a professional setting, it's more than likely i'll be hit on by a white man than a black man. It's really quite sad. They go straight for the white women . . . NO LIE. The first flower i recieved . . .white man. The first man to take me to the orchestra. . .white man. Cook me dinner . . . white man. 4 Likes |

Fashion / Re: Wedding Gowns: To Buy Or To Lease? by minute(f): 3:03am On Jun 26, 2012 |
Ever been to a place that rents wedding gowns? The gowns get "pilled" after a couple of cleaning, not to mention the damage that happens in just the one day of wearing it: People stepping on the train rip it or soil it; things get spilled on the gown and leave faint stains; the hemline is impossible to get completely clean; visible snags get left behind from her bouquet, diamond ring,or the guests wearing beaded gowns. Gowns need altering 99% of the time to fit right, rental shops do not let you do any altering, so half way down the aisle,the 5"2" bride trips on the hemline when it comes unraveled that it's temporary hem. And heaven forbid there's a damage,it's going to be way more expensive than buying in the lung run. |

Family / Re: Couples Please Encourage Me With Your Financial Struggles Stories. by minute(f): 7:16pm On May 19, 2012 |
You two should seriously consider getting another part-time jobs to help you out of the hole. It is better to have a bad no fun year than a bad no fun decade. Here is a plan for you. 1.Make a budget. Make the budget a week before you get paid. A budget is not a punishment. It is a tool which will free you from ever having to worry about money again. Put everything thing in your budget. Especially those annual, biannual or quarterly bills like car registration,insurance ,etc. Give every pound you are going to bring home the name of where it's going.Add an "emergency fund" category to your budget for 40pounds and save up until you have 1250- 1500pounds. Your emergency fund will help keep from getting into new debt because of an emergency. If you can, set up a direct transfer to a savings acct for your emergency fund. That way it moves automatically and you don't have to worry about it. You must cut your spending and live on less than you make. 2.If you are in this much "financial struggles" then why are you both spending 25% of your total income on transportation every month? And you should stop using credit cards. They are like quicksand only the death is much slower. Be VERY careful what you spend money on,anything that is absolutely NOT NEEDED don't buy. 3.Pay off your credit card debts and use cash only. 4. After you pay off your debts,add to your emergency fund until you have 6-12months of income saved up. Put that emergency fund into a liquid money market fund or into a HSBC bank no-risk CD so that if you need the money you can take it out without penalty. 5a. When you have your emergency fund in place, add a category for "fun" to your budget. Save for a holiday,a vacation,a big screen,an i-pad or dinners out, whatever goal you want. Remember to enjoy life. 5b.When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for retirement. Join the 401(k) or 403(b)plan at work and contribute the maximum. Your employer probably matches at least part of the contribution so why give up free money. Open a Roth IRA and contribute the maximum on a monthly basis. If you start saving for your retirement now, you will probably retire a millionaire. 5c.When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving up for a car. Only buy cars or other things that depreciate, with cash. Save up for a nicer car. That way you get the interest instead of paying the interest. And always remember where there's a will there is a way. 3 Likes |
