My adorable sweet black and white cat Tuxedo has started pooping on the floor in my dining room. He has a cat box ten feet away and he can even go sit by the sliding door three feet away and I would let him out. So why is he stinking up my floor?? What should I do???

I agree with you on this one Lash, shocking, isn't it? grin. If this person were not a priest, he would be required by law to report any confession to the police and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But unfortunately, a priest has been give special privileges by the church and these laws do not apply to him. I'm not sure where Catholics get the view that a priest should hear confess...

me too elsa, I would rather be at home relaxing and recovering from cooking and stressful family gatherings than out in the madness of shopping the day after thanksgiving. I sometimes go out if I stay overnight at my moms since she lives in a small town. but lately that has gotten busy too cuz of new stores in town. I certainly don't want to be trampled by the crowds when I can probably find t...

stephwrites responded to a discussion called Is the marriage worth saving? in relationships.

From reading all the posts here, I would have to agree with everyone and put both your feet down. That means give them a choice, they change their attitudes and disrespect or they have no relationship with any of you. But that also means your husband will not have much of a relationship with his family. If he treats you well and loves both you and your kids than I believe that the marriage is w...

wow pat, I'm sorry to hear bout what hapened. Unfortunately, we can't make choices for other people and some of the time they don't make good ones. My dad was a drunk much of my life and I decided that I didn't want to drink because of it. besides the fact that I can get drunk after one drink! and I don't like the loss of control either. It sounds like you should skip it next year. for me pers...

rg, I can see how that would be annoying and she definitely has some problems. But I would probably do the same thing, not say much just put up with it. We're just too nice! It sounds like she was not taught good manners when she was a child. And you are right, she doesn't seem to care about anyone but herself and you and the family have to slowly put some limits on her behavior. I'm glad your ...

My husband does this for me and it shows me just how much he loves me! Just think of it as an adventure, a new challenge. The men in line might think you are 'whipped' but the women in line will smile and wish that their man would do it for them! There are times when I can't get to the store because I have five kids at home to take care of or not feeling well and I am very thankful that he woul...
