I mentor young professional women, and the advice I give them is to never, ever date a coworker. It just does not turn out well. The general perception by others in the company of the employees involved when such an event occurs, is that the guy is a stud/player, but, the woman is perceived as a slut (regardless of…

I kept wondering who it was that EM reminded me of, and then it just hit me....

If each of our “Hells” is personalized to suit how we lived our lives, then this guy will understand the meaning of BOHICA pretty damn quickly.

The temptation was simply too much for me to pass on this, as I love plants of all kinds, though, I don’t really need more, but, I will probably share them with family, and Mothers day is soon to come.

I agree.

As in all things, practice makes perfect, so do some role play negotiating with a friend, and then you will feel more confident (which always shows!) going in to the real deal.

I am somewhat discouraged that we have gotten no answers here, and I think I am going to consult an attorney about it. On the life insurance note, make sure she is actually paying for (or has some proof of-and who is the beneficiary) it as some people don’t realize that when they quit working, the policy they had…

If I have to support the parent (who was set for life, but gives out money in exchange for “love” from family members who won’t support themselves) then my worst fear is that any savings I have for my golden years will be wiped out supporting her, and I will then have to roll that onto MY child to support me (which I…

Do you have any advice on how to protect your own future financial stability because your parents give, give, give to free loading siblings who have no intention of ever repaying them, and/or helping out when the parents run out of money due to sibling irresponsibility? I have tried talking to the parent about it and…

I downshift to slow down, since that does not result in my brake lights coming on, which just acknowledges to the police that I knew I was speeding and hit my brakes only when I saw the cop car.

Just vomit on them. Works every time.

Its all about respect for yourself and respect for your team mates. Disagreeing does not automatically mean fighting. More than one viewpoint promotes problem solving, and if you disagree ethically, and use emotional intelligence, it opens doors you never knew were closed.

Since he is only 1, maybe you should just give him the really big BOX that these come in right now. He/you can draw wheels on it, make doors, mod the hell out of it and its a lot safer. Save the actual wheels until he is at least potty trained.

I order my cars from the factory since I want a manual and no one stocks them on the lot. The salesmen always tries to stop me and warns “It will hurt the resale value, since no one wants them” but the last one I resold (after a good long run with me), I advertised as having a manual and I got a ton of calls from…

I can’t blame you for not being able to process that. I fear that loss of healthcare will effect a lot of people and one of them could also be me, so we are indeed in this together.

Then don’t read it (and yes you do care or you wouldn’t have bothered responding to my comment, which by the way, is 4 years old).

I made this original comment in 2012. I did not vote for our current president elect, and I cant think of a single thing that I agree with him about. I don’t know why you would blame me for killing you. Even 4 years later and a whole president later, the sentiment of my original comment is the same. We are all in…

I am teaching my daughter to drive in my manual transmission vehicle, and while she doesnt like it (and her drivers ed teacher told me to buy a new car with an auto transmission for her to learn in), she is doing pretty well and I feel confident that the knowledge will serve her well for a lifetime.

The cause of the divorce has no impact on how you have to treat the children.

Another useful tip to keep communication open, even you don’t ever want to see that bastard/bitch again, is to have a notebook that the child(ren) carry back/forth with them, so Mom/Dad can make notes (upcoming soccer games, some scheduling oddity, other issues, etc.,) that both Mom and Dad look at, so everyone is one…
