| You can still get a flu shot. I had the flu a couple weeks ago and got tamiflu and antibiotics and was fine. Most people won't die from it, and the flu shot doesn't prevent every type of flu that's out there this year but you can still get one. Antibiotics are worthless for the flu. Influenza is a ... |

| Cleaning is something I'm excellent at, as I have basically been a housewife for 31 years. I can give you some tips and tricks and a great schedule for getting things done if you want. It will actually take less time and your place will be cleaner. |

| A vasectomy isn't emasculating, it's only tying off the tubes that release the sperm. It doesn't remove the testicles nor does it interfere with sperm production. I can see her point if he is unable to take care of or support a child. If he were to get someone pregnant then he could be sued for chil... |

| People who insist that it's just a personality difference and not a medical condition never seem to be able to explain why a personality difference has so many comorbids and physical symptoms. |

| I knew someone like that and she said that she always thought of the "Island of Misfit Toys". Actually she said that watching that was when she first noticed it because she would cry and get so upset over the toys. She wasn't autistic though, although she did wind up as a hoarder later in ... |

| Turn off the water behind it, clean out what's in it, snake it, then for good measure use some Drano. Clean it well and turn the water back on. Throw all toilet paper into the garbage can by the toilet except for maybe two pieces when you use it. |

| People don't always hear their phones, or they turn them off when busy. That usually doesn't mean they are dead or trying to ignore you. Try again in a bit. If no answer then try tomorrow. Sometimes I'm too busy to deal with phone calls, texts or fb messages and it doesn't mean anything. |

| Any clue where I can find one? Amazon has them starting at two hundred something but I can't pay that. It needs to be the actual star trek kind and not that similar one. It's for a gift. Any ideas? |

| NT's are different. A couple times a month just talking (and not going out) or online is just like a co-worker you work with or a neighbor that you say "hi" to because you are neighbors. The only time you can snap at someone is if the friendship is solid and the person really knows you, o... |
