Hi, I've been married to my hubby for 9 years now and yes we still love each other. For the past 7 years, we've slept in separate rooms, in separate beds. Reasons: 1. he likes it warm, I like it cool 2. he snores and I'm...

AuntieEm721 Good sleep is a precious commodity and sleeping separately and awakening refreshed is surely more conducive to a good marriage than both of you not getting the sleep you need. Seems to me your marriage is "real", perhaps realer than some, since you have...

At the moment my partner is sitting here with three fractured fingers. He fractured them when he was play fighting with my 15 year old son. They both went for the same move and my son got there first. All you heard was a loud...

AuntieEm721 More than once. For a time it seemed that I forever had a Hot Wheels, Tinker Toy or a Lego piercing my instep. I like to think it was an accident and not a series of carefully planned booby-traps.

For those of you who are pro-choice, could you perform an abortion? Every woman has a has a right to a choice in our country. I am pro-life. I could never perform an abortion. What if the law says if you want an abortion, you have...

AuntieEm721 What happy little planet are you from??? In the real world you have to do hard things. Comparing a doctor who performs abortions to John Gacey is over the top! Perhaps instead of "hardening his heart" to the babies...he has OPENED his heart to the women who...

AuntieEm721 CherylsPearls, Thank you! I have a feeling that the only answers this asker will accept is total agreement with their own narrow viewpoint. Good to know :)

AuntieEm721 How cold? Seems to me that you aren't really interested in asking a question about abortion. Seems to me all you are doing is posing an inflammatory statement and then insulting anyone who doesn't fall into line with your own way of thinking. How childish!

AuntieEm721 Back in the bad old days women did in fact perform abortions ON THEMSELVES and each other because no other option existed. Professional help wasn't available. It wasn't a solution obviously as abortions still exist. I think you have the erroneous impression...

Do you believe PMS is real? How bad is it for you? Do women use it as an excuse? For me I have it terribly, I am a whole other person (I hate that person) and I have talked to my GYN about it. She recommended zoloft to take...

AuntieEm721 Thanks, but really I was just kidding. What I really do is bear in mind that I am hearing and experiencing through highly sensitive filters and behave with restraint. I appreciate the sympathy and the link...but it IS a perfectly natural function of my body...

AuntieEm721 I haven't ever tried the tea but it might could work! Try putting the witch hazel and/or the wetted tea bags in the fridge so they are cold and it should help with the initial stinging. I feel for him 180 miles sitting on hemorrhoids is surely a circle of...

AuntieEm721 I feel his pain...hard to not whine when your hiney is aflame! Here is a home remedy that works. Take several cosmetic cotton pads..the square or round ones. Soak these with witch hazel. Fold the pads in half. Wedge a good size stack of these into the butt...

I just spent all day at the hairdresser. I went with my mother to her favourite hairdresser so I thought it was safe so I handed over my 'past my waist length locks'. I told him that I wanted a nice deep blood red with lighter red...

AuntieEm721 I'm sorry! I used to have very long hair that I was very protective of and I had a few nightmare treatments in my time. First, yes the hair will grow. Second, even if you paid them you can still write them a letter and include before and after digital photos...

Hi There, I have an interesting habit. I always put my fan on at night when I go to bed. It could be freezing outside but I still always put it on. I just can't seem to get to sleep without it. Even when I go away on vacations...

AuntieEm721 I sleep with a fan running summer or winter. Not to help me to get to sleep...but to keep me from getting woken up at the crack of dawn by my crowing roosters!

AuntieEm721 I was in the past, and I'm sure I still am today, upon occassion. The difference is....now I don't care! Worrying too much about it just made me more shy and uncomfortable back then. Now I just be who I am at any given moment and accept that I will win some...

AuntieEm721 The hormones that trigger your cycle to start are probably causing your emotional upset. This is normal. What isn't normal is to actually go so far as to hit your boyfriend. If you have symptoms that are making you lash out physically you really need to see...

AuntieEm721 Yes, I believe PMS is real. I also think that what can give it the appearance of not being real is that the things that bother you so intensely during this time period are the same things that bother you the rest of the month. But the ability to ignore the...

It's always an uncomfortable situation when you're with say, two other people and all of a sudden a mysterious smelly odour wafts through the air. What do you do? You can either say something and deny so no one thinks it's you but...

AuntieEm721 I would ignore it. I have no problem with being the suspect so I don't feel compelled to set the record straight. Now, if this is family we are talking about, I may just crack a joke about it. You know, the old, "jeeeez, what you been eating, roadkill"?
