do you rally think that the color black in clothes makes you look slim?

maria120883 @maria120883 (392) • United States 20 Nov 09

When I wear black I believe that it makes me look slim. It helps me alot. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it is black it helps me out. And plus black looks elegant on a woman. So how about you do the clothes that are...

Laurie1986 I can't buy the next size up because I'm 4'10". If I bought a B it would be up over my face. :P

Laurie1986 I think it does work, but only to a minimum--and you're correct: when faced with a choice, it's so much better to wear a properly fitting white outfit than a horribly tight (or baggy) black one. That said, when choosing between two properly fitting outfits,...

Partners who go off the deep end...how do you deal with it?

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 14 Oct 09

Some of you may know that my husband is a Viet Nam vet who has PTSD. He's on various medications that keep his mood level and, for the most part, he's okay and a good husband. But, then there's lately. His grown daughter and...

Laurie1986 And what if he doesn't see reason? You're talking about men in general, not men with PTSD and serious anger issues. If he is in a prolonged state of disturbed thinking, then his "heat of the moment" is going last much longer than the typical moment. It might...

There are men who do work on their marriage!

blue65packer @blue65packer (11826) • United States 1 Nov 09

This shocked me when i heard this but it shows my friend really loves his wife! His wife has health problems. The biggest problem is depression. To help deal with his wife's depression he sees a therapist so he can learn to deal...

Laurie1986 I agree completely. What a refreshing story. We hear so much about how nobody puts any value into marriage anymore, and nobody cares about relationships and they'd rather just give up, get divorced/break up and start a new one. Apparently this guy never got...

My Dad Has Prostate Cancer

Springlady @Springlady (3986) • United States 5 Oct 09

Hello, I'm asking for prayers for my dad. He has cancer on 3 places in his prostate. My dad and I have had a difficult relationship thru the years. He is a difficult person to talk to and to describe to you. He has lots of...

Laurie1986 I'm so glad he got a clean bone scan! A beloved uncle of mine just got the same results and we were so relieved it hadn't spread. I'm very happy that you got to experience the same relief and I hope that his treatment is very quick and over with soon, and he...

Can you love someone you hate?

careguarden @careguarden (5670) • Philippines 18 Oct 09

I have a friend who told me story about someone whom she truly hate, even the first time she met the person she didn't like him. She told me that they often argue with each other. But I was surprised when one day she called and...

Laurie1986 You make really good points about this. Many believe that you actually *have* to love someone in order to hate that person, because like you say, you have to care enough for their actions to bother you. If you didn't care for that person, you'd be indifferent....

oneidmnster @oneidmnster (1384) • United States 18 Oct 09

Laurie1986 It's a chain of hardware stores. You can buy anything for your home from a doorbell and a box of tools to sheds, holiday decorations, toilet seats, washing machines and refrigerators, carpeting and flooring, paint, faucets and sinks, you name it.

Uh-oh. Gawker Exclusive: "I Helped Richard Heene Plan a Balloon Hoax."

Laurie1986 @Laurie1986 (384) • United States 18 Oct 09

Gawker.com apparently has an exclusive from 25 year old Robert Thomas, a researcher who says that he was privy to the plans of Richard Heene, Balloon Boy's father. Gawker says that one of the ideas that Thomas and Heene were...

Laurie1986 True, especially since we got confirmation from their local authorities today that it was indeed a hoax. I am just so disgusted by these people. That poor child was vomiting from his guilt in being a part of this lie, and he probably got yelled at after the...

Laurie1986 Brilliant response, Hatley. Previous generations were worse about parenting in this way--I like to think that my generation is doing a better job of not beating into their sons that crying is "girly" and that showing their emotion is wrong, but I don't know.

Public speaking: do you find this terrifying?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 17 Oct 09

Many people I know are gifted conversationalists but when called to speak in public, they are paralyzed by fear. This results to mental blocks and difficulties in saying what they really want to say. Not all people are good public...

Laurie1986 I totally agree with this. Good for you for being responsible! I'm visiting your website right now and I think it's terrific. It's always great to come across someone who understands the value of a dollar, as well as what really matters in life.

Do you find that yawning is contagious?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 17 Oct 09

or maybe it's just me. Yawning is triggered either by fatigue or boredom or just by being sleepy. I notice that if someone yawns in a crowd, the other will follow suit. Can there be a scientific explanation for this one. any...

Laurie1986 Thanks, jbbelle. How weird! You could try forcing yourself to sing a different song. That works for me sometimes.
