~What To Do...Keep Waiting I Guess~

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85498) • Valdosta, Georgia 22 Jul 17

Hey everyone, hope your doing well today. We were supposed to look at a house today but I had a feeling my husband should ask about the requirements before we went. I'm glad he did so we saved our time and gas. They do a credit...

Marty I don't know if this would work but you could try it: When we were looking for a house, the house was going to be in both our names So they ran the credit check that way. But this was my girlfriend.(16 years later, we're still together.) She didn't have bad...

What makes life worth living?

TheScupp @TheScupp (102) • Finland 6 May 13

Hi. I'm in a some kind of crisis now, because I don't feel like life is worth living anymore. I don't know what made it worth to live before, but as I get older I feel like it's not worth it. After school and all the things that I...

Marty You may not be able to do this right away, but if all the fun things arn't enough, try to find some new things to do. But no matter what, there will always be things you have to do. I own my own house. I have to cut the grass every week. I have to go to work....

When did the last time you watch movie in movie theater?

ibuemma @ibuemma (2953) • United States 7 Apr 13

Two weeks ago, I took my daughters to watch The Croods at the movie theater near by our house. I found out I still had the gift card for Regal Movie Theater that I got from Christmas time, and plus I had the coupon too. Nowadays,...

Marty I believe the last movie I saw in the movie theater is "He's just not that into you." It's been a long time. First of all, I don't think there are many movies out that's good enough for me to get in my car, drive to the theater, pay the price of the ticket and...

Marty I would definitly not completely stop talking to her. Since it's been getting a little better, I would wait for awhile, maybe a month. It may continue to improve. It might be even something she's going through. but if it stays the same, where there seems to be...

Marty The money, whenever it comes is nice and I do see that there are people that get checks every month. I don't even make the $10.00 payout in one year. And I recently changed it to $25.00. It's been over a year since I got that ten dollar payout and right now,...

why would someone make a date then cancel without contact?

RandomnessPrincessx3 @RandomnessPrincessx3 (280) • United States 20 Apr 13

I basically got ditched today. Someone asked me on a date and I agreed. They were suppose to let me know a time and such three days ago and never contacted me. When I asked yesterday, they said they had to wait and see on their...

Marty I think it's pretty rude. I think that someone just changed his mind and rather then try and explain or come up with an excuse, he just decided not to contact you at all. So if he asks you out again, say no. And if he starts to explain, no matter what it was,...

Is it safe to consume a nutritional shake after it expires?

jenrl17 @jenrl17 (420) • United States 26 Feb 13

I just bought Walgreens brand of Ensure and noticed it has a 'use by' date of Jan 01, 2013. Is it still safe to drink?

3 responses

Marty Has it been opened yet? That could make a difference. it still probably is not good. I would taste it. If it tastes bad, throw it out.

Does it bother you to be older as the years go by?

desiree91 @desiree91 (515) • Malaysia 23 Feb 13

Marty I hate re-writing and I tend to not do them. I got so excited about coming up with new ones that I would just start new ones. By the way, I'm using the past tense because I have not done any writing in years but I'm getting that itch. Anyway, my answer is,...

Marty I think the aim was just off. They said it was 17,000 miles from the earth. They said I know that sounds like alot, but it's not as far as it sounds. But still, maybe it had been eight or nine thousand miles away, the gravity would have grabbed it. Remember,...
