A lot of companies, especially smaller business, are having issues absorbing the cost with the increased cost of healthcare due to Obamacare. I didn't talk at all about birth control in my post.

That isn't what I said. I said that businesses, especially ones with razor thin margins, are going to have trouble absorbing the cost of Obamacare and will either have to hire less or pass the cost to consumers.

I agree. I think unfortunately hiring will be affected by Obamacare and companies will end up hiring less workers and make the remaining workers responsible for more. It is a basic economic model and with hiring stagnant, this is not a good thing.

A lot of companies have franchises that run on super thin margins. I can understand why some companies are upset. The taxes that go along with Obamacare are going to be substantial and some companies may not be able to absorb the cost without passing it on the the consumer or cutting other employee benefits. I cannot…

I loved the Switch.. mostly because of Bateman. Him with the kid was incredibly genuine. The picture frame plot made me ball my eyes out.

Maybe not in adults but there have been numerous studies that conclude that a balanced breakfast helps school aged children pay attention in class.

Eh. You don't know what a person deals with internally. And you don't know what type of pregnancy she has. It could be high-risk.

I agree with others about the tax fraud. Tip with what you can... you aren't responsible for the tipping policies at a restaurant. People who don't pay taxes affect us all, at the high end of incomes and at the low end incomes.

15-20% pre-tax according to Emily Post.

1. A lot of times restaurant managers can be super dismissive and if you ask to see them, it takes them like half an hour to go to your table. I don't think it is on customers to have to write corporate or complain to restaurant managers if there was bad service. A bad tip should show it and you know what? the server…

I do not tip for carryout unless it was curbside. My husband, a former pizza delivery boy, also only tips for delivery, not for carryout. Tipping for carryout at pizza hut would be the same thing as tipping at subway for your sandwich.

I disagree... I think with more prenatal genetic testing, there has been less Downs children born now.

agreed.

Ew. Most women if not all women don't want to be in a situation where they have to have an abortion. Best age? How about none... it can be an invasive procedure, super expensive, and can be emotionally scarring. It is there if you need it but hopefully you will never need it.

I think they are also testing for personality disorders, mental illness, and other issues that crop up and could be difficult in serving a large parish. I'd rather them test than just take someone off the street, though like they did in the 60's and 70's. But I agree, it isn't a perfect system... any organization that…

Every person going into the priesthood or going into a convent has to take a huge amount of psychological tests administered by psychologists outside of the Church. I am not saying it is a fix.. but they have implemented it since the 90's I believe. Before, you more or less just had to sign up for seminary but it…

Just because Brand and Perry had a short marriage doesn't make it automatically a fake one for publicity. It seems they rushed into marriage and couldn't make it work.

It was a decision that my husband and I made together. We also have made the decision for me to get another graduate degree in a couple years and when he retires first in 14 years, for me to be the main breadwinner of the family. I think a lot of people think of this in black and white and in reality either partner…

I agree or you know, having a spouse in a less stable career. My husband is in the Air Force and we will be moving in a year and be moving every three years till he retires. His schedule shifts drastically every month and it would be a childcare nightmare if I worked full-time. We are also not around family to help.

I see a lot of dual-working parents and almost ALL the childcare and household managing still lies on the shoulders of the mom. And I have to say that I'd be unwilling to be in a situation like that. Not that everyone has to be a SAHM, but if both partners work, both take care of childcare and chores equally.
