    Why does Amercia lose when it comes to paid Maternity leave?

    I have to really wonder if you don't get this. It's about pooling money. You put in over your lifetime of work an only take when you need it. It would be extremely difficult and impossible for most people to save max pay out under the Canadian system. Especially when they are in the early low...

    Can adults go to bibbidi bobbidi boutique?

    It's based on averages, so if kids under 12 on average spend $150 per session and adults spend $50 they are going to try to maximize the number of guests under 12. It doesn't matter if there are a few adults who may spend more of kids who spend less. See I made you a chart. Age groups...

    Marriage Issues

    There are a lot of medications out there, I wouldn't give up just because Zoloft and Prozac didn't work. I take medication for my anxiety and depression but I really feel CBT helps far more with the anxiety than the medication does. At least to get it to a manageable level. When you go to a...

    Borderline Personality and/or Bipolar Disorder

    I agree with you on that, I hope she looks into dialectical behavior therapy it has been shown to be helpful with BPD. And if that is the issue with the daughter (and the mom) early intervention is the best thing.

    Anyone take Cymbalta for fibromyalgia?

    The brain zaps are a common symptom when stopping SSRI's or SNRI's it's not painful just weird. I know it's recommended to use Prozac when stopping Cymbatla and then wean off the Prozac.There are less side effects that way. I take Cymbalta for depression and anxiety and I do have to take it...

    Brian Banks exonerated

    This is completely untrue, the rate of false rape accusations is low and victims of rape are generally treated horribly in our justice system so many times sexual assault is never reported .

    Is anyone following the Veronica Rose story?

    What that actually says is Court records show that the Cherokee Nation initially denied Brown's membership, because Maldonado's attorney misspelled his name and provided an incorrect date of birth. The birth mom's lawyer gave the Cherokee Nation and incorrect name and DOB so they said he...

    Is anyone following the Veronica Rose story?

    Custody (physical custody) and parental rights (legal custody) are two different things. Custody is about who child the child lives, Parental rights are about having a legal say in the child's life. Since the adoptive parents are arguing that he gave up his right via non support he may signed...

    Car Accident - who's at fault?

    There have been studies that show that people who use hand free are just as distracted as drivers using a non hands free phone. If someone is in the car with them having a conversation they are much less distracted than both types of phones. The article I read about it was saying that when...

    did your son in law ask your permission to marry your daughter? and how?

    My husband didn't ask permission, my dad did not walk me down the aisle and I did not change my name. I did wear a white dress, I almost wore a red one but did change to white for my Mom. We also didn't do a bouquet or garter toss. I wouldn't have been dating someone who thought I would have...

    Is "I really care about you" the same as saying "I love you"

    I agree with the above. Is she waiting for him to say I love you first before she will ? If she isn't saying it why is she upset he won't. And saying I love you won't prevent him from braking up with her sometime down the road. They're not magic words that make a relationship last forever.

    Hunger Games books

    The Tortall books by Tamora Pierce are really good. They're fantasy and have a lot of action in them. There are, I think 3 series, set in the same world. There are some reference to sex but nothing more than was in Twilight. You might want to check out this site...

    Woman sues bar for not carding her

    In the train case the woman is not suing the guy's parents she is suing his estate. If the estate has no assets she won't get anything. I do think if he was living with his parents this will be covered under the liability portion of their homeowners insurance. The guy acted negligently crossing...
