Wow! I think you misunderstand what kind of aunt I am. I spend money on my nieces and nephews because I want them to have nice gifts. SInce I am a teacher, I work very hard to give them cool,...

I guess I'm looking for people to weigh in.

My sister did not ask me to be godmother of her child. Instead she asked her best friend. This is her third child. We have one other sister who was...

I started dating a shy, successful, sweet man. I liked him very much. He was very busy so we were able to get together about once a week- always on a weekday. (no-not married- I've been to his home)...

I've met a lot of guys like this. I'm not sure of their motivation. Do they just need an ego massage? Next time he texts, just reply that you had a great time on your date and hope you can do it...

I've been dating someone for a month. I taught his kids many years ago and he's now divorced and asked me out when he saw me online. We were having such a good time, but we were supposed to go out...

Is this at school? If so, does he have an aide? I think you need to ask him very directly if anyone has hurt him in any way. I'm not saying they have, but you want to rule it out. Make sure he knows...

Ack! You need to get the hell out of this!! You are not at fault, but you deserve a girl who gives you the attention you deserve. Run, don't walk. Cut her off as quick as you are able. When she says...

It sounds like she didn't realize all the feelings she was stirring up. Do not contact her and when she tries to contact you again- TELL HER NO!! She sounds like she is confused or toying with you...

It sounds like you could benefit from seeing a therapist. Sometimes when someone is dealing with depression, that person's significant other can feel overwhelmed. You may also need to start...

He's 34... I think that's what I'm scared of- that he isn't thinking it. I don't talk about it much, but he brought it up.

After many dating experiences- some bad, and some just not right, I have fallen hopelessly in love with this guy. He is ridiculously nice, funny and smart. I am a little nervous, however, that I...

Also, he is a 25 lb min pin mixed with some type of terrier. Tall and skinny...

Hi,

I rescued a dog we'll call Fred a year ago and already have another rescue. Fred is almost 2 and my other dog is about 9.

Fred has... issues. We went through a very good training at anti...

I've been dating someone for two months and for the first time in a very long time, I'm really happy. We've been seeing each other a couple times each week and we chat by phone or text a couple of...

Hi,

I'm 38 year old woman and I am dating a new guy for about 5 months. He's nice, gentle, kind, generous. I'm not attracted. He has an extra amount of weight and it turns me off. I'm ashamed of...

I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. For the past 2 weeks I've had diarrhea. I am waiting for the results of the culture, but they gave me antibiotics in the meantime. It's been 3 days and I'm...

I met a guy on a dating website. He was nice and we had a nice time and he kissed me goodnight and arranged for his cab to drop me at my house. Then he called and asked me out for drinks again....

I have slowly allowed my dog to be more like a human than a dog. He sleeps in my bed, under the covers with me. He follows me wherever I go and lately, he's underfoot and I've tripped on him. (He's...

Would it be smart for me to get a new garbage disposal when I replace my sink? Money is tight, but if it will save me money in the long run I'll do it. Old one is about 8 years old.

Hi Smitty,

You are not alone, but you do absolutely need to talk to a doctor. I take something for generalized anxiety disorder and it changed my life. The reason I started was a fluke. I was...

Got it. Going on a date with someone else tomorrow. I'm going to give him a real chance. I've been searching for flaws (with the new guy)and realized its because I'm scared. I've realized the allure...

Talaniman, you are always spot on! : )

I did end this... but for the doubters, his 'wife' has been in a relationship for over a year. Geez. Jaded much? I'm not stupid or naïve. He is my friend. Whether I'm dating him or not, he is a very...

Okay, let me have it. A friend of mine since childhood is getting a divorce. They haven't been intimate in several years, but stayed together for the kids. I'm crazy about him. We've been hanging out...

Clickaus,
You HAVE to work on your self-esteem. Also, take care of yourself and work out! You will feel much better about yourself and the endorphins will provide a way to deal with your negative...

My sister really doesn't like me. When we were little, she would tell me I was fat, stupid and ugly. I really looked up to her, so I believed her. I had horrible self esteem as a result. Through the...

Just talk in a firm voice and say 'NO!', yelling is useless. Also, sometimes, I put my dog down on the ground firmly, but gently to show him it's not okay. Now that he's nuzzling next to me, I can...

Sheltie-beagle is my guess too!

Since this was two years ago, I'd like to know what you decided to do. I'm non-judgemental since two of my friends were in similar situations with different outcomes.

This reminds me to get one for my sweet baby. Thanks.I'll order it in the morning. I haven't yet and it chills me to think of what could happen in an auto accident. Also, I know that since he is well...

Since many have viewed this post, I wanted to add that while I'm currently single, I have NEVER regretted leaving this guy. If anyone is in a subtly controlling relationship, trust your instincts. I...

If montessori adheres to the NCTM (National Council of Teaching Mathematics-I think) standards I can help you. The NCTM is designed to basically keep up with other nations in mathematics. They...

Just curious how everything turned out. As an experienced teacher myself, I'd love to hear. I had many ups and downs my first 3 years and would very much like to hear about your ups and downs. The...

Send him some kibble&bits for Christmas.:D[/QUOTE]

Kitkat, you are wicked, wicked, wicked! I love it! :p

After leaving last weekend, we never spoke again. I am relieved. I will not ever try to contact him. He's not as bad as the guy who kicked the dog (terrible), but clearly I am a dog person and he is...

Okay, I've been with my new boyfriend for about 1.5 months. It's been good, but we live far from one another, so I have to bring my dog to his house. It's been tense. At my house my dog is allowed on...

This depends. I'm a teacher, with an M.Ed and also just completed a gifted course. Some things to consider: Do you know much about the gifted program at your school? How often is it offered per...

Hi,

I'm doing an experiment with sodium alginate. Food grade sodium alginate is much more expensive than S-A for art. I'm just wondering if it will still work to make polymer chains. Anyone?
...

It sounds like you know already, but are hoping you are mistaken because it's easier to be straight. I am wondering where you live because some communities are more accepting of gay people than...

Okay. Thanks... Gemini, I think you hit the nail on the head. I have developed a nasty fear of rejection lately. I'm just used to a guy saying something like 'I'd like to see you again' or something...

I had a great date today. Everything seemed to be going great. He hugged me hello, we had tons in common, he's cute, and our coffee date lasted over an hour. The weird thing was how we left it. He...

I recently was going through my debt. I'll admit I NEVER balance my account. Now I saw a charge each month for 35.00. I looked into it and it turns out, they have me down as receiving a credit card...

I was involved in a year and a half relationship that I ended 6 months ago. My ex was controlling. He never raised a hand to me, but when I would try to leave he would always try to talk me out of...

Thanks. Your post was really thoughtful and made me feel better! I guess I do question myself. It seems I'm always seeking approval. I do think I'm trying too hard. It's funny if you met me you'd...

Hi, I'm hoping you all can help. I seem to be very lonely. I have friendships, but none that are close. I am trying to figure out why this has happened and how I got to this point so that I can be a...

I feel like such a dummy on this one. I was driving home and got a flat. I was about a 1/2 mile from home and so I drove it back (I've heard that was a bad idea, but I didn't know it at the time).
...

Dude, how do I get this through to you: I'm SINGLE. And I looooveeee it. I thought there might be something with a guy a couple months ago, but it didn't pan out and that was cool. And last I checked...

Hmm. I guess you are entitled to your opinion. Dating so soon after? When I wasn't happy for months on end? When I hadn't been kissed in about 6 months. No, I do not feel bad about that at all, dear....

Thanks for clearing things up Tao. I do feel like the two posters were being extremely critical of me. It also seemed they were using their own painful experiences and putting themselves in my ex's...

Hi Janet,

I just thought I'd pop on this site as I have a new problem with that ex (which you will see in my next post). I just want you to know that I DON'T REGRET MY DECISION AT ALL!! I had to...
