I have a food sensitivity to vinegar. Any time I eat anything that contains vinegar (it is very hard to avoid), I break out on my chin about four days later. It's hard but I recommend an elimination diet to make sure that you don't have an undiagnosed food sensitivity. If something that you are eating is making you…

I don’t understand. How do windows keep them safe?

I wonder if his wife took it in? When I moved away from home the first time, I took my car to the dealer for service. In my defense, I was young and didn't know to get a referral to find a good mechanic. Anyway, they kept my car for a week and never found anything wrong with it. They didn't charge me, but I was out…

The issue with the surveys is that they ask you to rate on a scale, but management penalizes the staff for less than a perfect score. They should just make the answers yes/no with a field for comments. Otherwise the surveys are just a waste of time.

I have a rule about never asking a question that I may not want the answer. My brother will sometimes bring up some family stuff. I always ask him "Do you really want to talk about this? " before I chime in. Mostly the answer is no.

My mother used to ask me about dating all the time. I used to tell her "We're notgoing to talk about that, Mom." She would say something and I would repeat it. Generally, after five or six tries, she would give up. Eventually, she stopped asking. I was always nice about it, smiling, having an even tone. The trick…

I would find the idea of open marriage to be deeply personal. Open marriage is much bigger than non-monogamy.

OMG! Did you reply “How about you pretend that you want to be paid?”

I agree with you.

Seconded! One with actual Bible scholars, historians and archaeologists as consultants. There are so many complex and dramatic stories in thevBible that most people don't know. Also quite a few comic ones.

Kelly, the "what is truth" line is from the Bible. The only thing I liked in the first series were the mixed race warrior angels kicking ass so I skipped this one.

Can you cite that? I remember it as God telling Saul to kill everyone, all ages abnd both genders, and their livestock too.

I don't believe that Jesus was particularly handsome because his looks are never remarked on once in the entire New Testament. Contrast that with David in the Old Testament.

If you decide to color your hair, start asking around. It's an art that not everyone has mastered. Most people don't know that I color my hair because I like natural looking color. My neighbor argued with me for fifteen minutes about whether or not I color my hair. It's very hard to get natural looking color,…

I have a great tip for sorting out the accidental assholes from the true assholes. It was the only HR directed training that I have found consistently helpful in my career. When someone says something to you that can be taken two ways and you aren’t sure what they meant, you say “Ouch!” Someone who meant it the nice…

Well, I think all mother-daughter relationships have their ups and downs and if I am depressed or tired, some memories are more painful. The trick of it is to think about how you feel about it now instead of just allowing the hurt you felt then to overwhelm you. This is not to deny the hurt. When someone is unkind to…

My schizophrenic brother takes the best pictures of anyone in the family. In person, he is dirty and unkempt. In photos, he is handsome. It's all in the bone structure. Also, he never cares how he looks so he rarely has a strange expression in the photo.

My mother only had four pictures of her own mother because her mother hated having her picture taken. Grin and bear it and let them take your picture! If you aren't photogenic, your loved ones know this and don't care.

Well, if this story was the only thing I knew about my mom, I would probably think poorly of her, too. I can't speak for all moms, but my mother was afraid that I would never find the happiness that she found married to my dad.

I don't think most mothers have any idea how very hurtful their stray comments can be.
