You're not.

My friend's husband has gotten himself in some trouble. My friend keeps getting a message on her cell phone that has her husband's cellular number followed by:
"+1001082001"

What does this mean?...

Is it possible in Illinois to have a case for reverse discrimination? My supervisor, I believe, is jealous of my performance and rapport with co-workers and clients. She had my job previously. I...

The Funny Company

I just write both names -- Like Ms. Suzy Snowflake and Ms. Spring Sunshine. The same way works for men. I have used this method successfully for several years and have not received any negative...

I am sorry for your pain, but I think you should put him in the past. It would be too hard for both of you at this time to continue to communicate. I believe he did not respond for that reason. ...

Only time can restore trust and sometimes it's a very long time. If you are sincere, live your life in a manner that will prove you can be trusted -- don't gossip, tell secrets, or be dishonest. He...

My apartment complex in Grundy county Illinois just informed me that they are changing the way the water bill is assessed for each apartment. Instead of prorating the water bill based on occupancy,...

I've never heard this concept before. I was taught that these were angels sent by God, not a "pre-carnate" form of Jesus.

Isn't this Indiana Jones? Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

While your friends were partying, you were learning a real life lesson. I went to community college for two years while living at home with my mother and sometimes felt that I was missing something...

Fiend Without A Face

FMLA allows qualified employees 60 days (12 weeks) of absence. This time runs concurrently with a medical leave. Sounds like you were off work for more than that amount of time in a 12-month period.

I'm not sure I know why, but my Mom always used the "most" holes for the pepper shaker. I think her logic was that we shouldn't use as much salt.

I wonder if he diagnosed himself and is writing his own prescriptions. The long-term treatment of bi-polar disorder (knowledge from experience) is an effective medication regimen; this regimen is...

The only TV show that's "real," is the one you're starring in right now!

Do you have a job description of the work she is being paid to perform? I would meet with her and do a performance evaluation while reviewing her job duties. Point out that her duties do not extend...

Apocalypse 10.5

I agree that only you know everything about your relationship with your daughter. Sometimes kids get involved in their own lives and leave us behind -- and it is important that they learn to lead...

You are right. Lord of the Flies. 1990 I think.

To be eligible for FMLA benefits, an employee must:
• work for a covered employer;
• have worked for the employer for a total of 12 months;
• have worked at least 1,250 hours over the...

He said she didn't explain which I find hard to believe

After everything you've been through, it is not hard to believe. Some things don't require an explanation. He doesn't appear to be able to...

I, too, was a child of older parents. This is sometimes difficult, I know, but your father loves you. Don't miss this special opportunity to have a special relationship with him. It sounds like...

Okay, it's been a long time, but I believe it is "Portrait of Jenny" and starred Joseph Cotton.

There was a great old Twilight Zone episode about aliens who came to Earth "to serve man." It wasn't until a spaceship of humans were on their way to the alien planet that someone deciphered their...

I agree with the others. You already know the answer or you wouldn't be asking. Let me just say -- been there, done that. It seems like a good idea for the moment, but it's a lifetime of regret...

As a follow-up, I was not referring to Catholic catechism, but Lutheran (LCMS). I believe that the reason I was given was that we cannot ask for God's forgiveness once we have committed the sin of...

First of all, this can only be your decision. I can share a few facts that I know from experience with my own children. Journalism will lead to work as a news reporter (for a regular paycheck) or...

This will happen when the cake is not completely done baking. Please check for doneness by either lightly pressing on the top of the cake and making sure the cake "springs" back OR insert a...

Please talk very frankly with your husband about your wants and needs. If you don't tell him, you won't know the truth about his sexual and personal feelings. Even if you don't get the answer you...

Please seat her with some people that she knows so she can enjoy the dinner. After the dinner, toasting, and bridal party dance, the best man can join his wife at her table. Even though she is not...

Contact your Human Resources Office and tell them you need to change your direct deposit. I am sure there will be a form for you to complete. Bring your new account number and bank routing number...

I think I was taught in catechism that suicide was the unforgivable sin. I don't agree, but that's what I remember.

Enemy Mine

You cannot control what your friend does... only what you do. You are right to protect your child from a bad environment. Good luck!

Thank you both. It's very nice to have someone else let me know I'm going to make it through this!

Unable to drive. Stuck at home. I guess I'm feeling sorry for myself, but I've always been there for other people. My son hasn't been to see me and lives just 45 minutes away. Am I just feeling...

The first step would be to talk directly with Human Resources. It is possibled that no one told them to retain your higher rate of pay while you were training someone. Start with that step and...

Where do you live? Are you between the ages of 16-24? Most community colleges offer classes for preparation and testing. Testing is done by he state in which you reside. You could also check out...
