I think maybe I gave her space to avoid having to address these issues with her. That worked well huh! My aunt swears that her husband uses that method for problem solving and that it works just fine for HIM. Drives her crazy. But he seems to find that most problems go away on their own and that the

Friendships never remain constant so why should one's relationship with siblings? I think that relationships move in waves or cycles. People need to be free to move away and come back to a friendship or anykind of relationship. To expect things to be constant between two people is unfair to them both. If it bugs you, then when you are having a calm moment at the same time as her, then address it. Harboring feelings to mai

cool sounding remedy Dharma. I love essential oils. I think they really work. You should try them pseudo. Seems like the cable thing didn't go too well for you (written as a MAJOR understatement). Hope next time you have to do this you can get a better harness. That falling flat on your back business can be very nasty. Hope that days 2 and 3 after don't prove too hard on the bod.

If he's going to even think about firing you, which would be bloody unfair and cowardly, you should ask him how he expects you to do your job and whether the rules that he established should just be ignored? Excellent point FS. And that kind of thing really enables people to avoid growing up. Why bot

I consider myself very fortunate to have a wife like you. I'm glad for your wife that you feel that way! It's a really wonderful sentiment (not that she'd like me but that you feel fortunate to be with her). And just to continue on the communication thing, I hope you tell her and not just assume she

hey, thanks for looking!!!! Yay! I see what you mean about the colors. For articles it's kind of icky to read white. But I think the pictures look better on the black background. I will fiddle with the HTML (a big step for me) and see if I can change it some other time. I will definitely keep blogging at JU. Can anyone stay away??????? Thanks again for checking it out.

Sometimes you wanna knock some sense into their heads just to make them see reason. lol you have no idea.... but I'm really against that kind of stuff. so I took it out on a piece of paper (which in a way is not good either) <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class

I swear, try to do something nice... I am going to a wedding in Canada this summer. I want my husband to go as well but I KNOW that he has work and that he is leary about asking for time off. But when I went to buy my ticket today, I enquired about how much his ticket would be. We are not going at the same time. When I found out that there

No, I don't find this surprising. My sister met a man and they will get married in July. The met in October. Granted, she didn't have some heavy relationship before. I know quite a few people who have done this actually. So far, they are all still married. I don't know how old you are. Maybe you are in your early 20's. The people I know who did this are in their 30's and are quite clear what they want in a relationship and when

Funny article, but I'm going to feed your paranoia by writing this-- The TV show "America's Most Wanted" works (worked? Is it still on?) because people phone in suspicious activity. I like neighbors like you. It makes me feel safer (as long as you're not freakin out if I park my bike in front of my house or something) when I know that people are vigilant and willing to get involved.

It will be great. Scary but great. I moved to Japan not knowing a soul here and not knowing the language. It was scary, but it was great. Living overseas was something I had been working toward. You are about to achieve something you have been working towards. It will be scary. It will be great. You will be fine and you will do well. BTW others gave some good advice about getting to know an area and real es

Electrical poles or light poles often win, too. I saw a drunk driver one time. It looked like he meant to accelerate and wrap the front end of his Nova around an electrical pole. He didn't but it sure looked like it. Car definately lost that one.

No sources for you, but I taught at a Fujitsu company (in Niigata, Japan) that produced ATM's. My students said that they broke down the styrofoam that accumulated due to shipping and receiving components with a concentrated acetic acid of some sort and then made poker chips out of the remnants. Anyway... something to do with styrofoam. Cheers

the thick Yellow Dust (annual affliction due to de-forestation in China's Gobi Desert) We're getting that here, too. Not so badly, but enough that it was on the news. Must be worse over there before it crosses the Japan Sea. Ick. I can't imagine. I hope you got a chance to go to Kyoto and

I have a Korean student who told me that all the commercials are in between the programming blocks. She also told me that one time the/a (?) network tried to do commercials the same style as in US and that people rebelled and sent HEAPS of angry letters etc. protesting this and the programming went back to the original format. Maybe someone can give more light on that situation.
