So When Can A Man Cry Now?

I expect lots of jokes ( I know what site I am on) but I am seriously wondering as how, in this day and age men in their 40-50s generally seem to be more hands-on as father in terms of raising your children, doing housework, etc. That being said, does anyone know what the right code is as far as whe...

Pet Owners Question

I have never owned any pets and I've heard that for example, a dogs unconditional love is something really special. I don't doubt it. So my question is this: i know that most people-I guess all? Will talk to their pets and say things like, " Hang on!", "Do you want to go outside?"...

A Question For Any Historians

Hi there. I am wondering if any fans of history can tell me what we should all expect in the next 10 years or so. As most of us can see, almost nothing is "working" properly anymore. Not the dollar, not Government, jobs or Marriage. I could go on and on. My point is, what times in history ...

Question About Elvis for the Ladies..

Anyways, not just to justify it but if were say 14, 15 years old and Elvis wanted to do the horizontal mambo with you? Would you ...

Re: Does Anyone Pay Attention Anymore..?

In a nutshell, it is what many in America see and believe. That a lot of the media-not all- but a lot-skew and distort things to fit their angle. Rather than report the truth, it is oftentimes, not really the whole truth and so the public gets it wrong or doesn't see both sides to a story. Many are ...

Hey, the economy is doing great! We only owe 20 trillion dollars. The dollar is worth less and less and the price of things keep going up. Is that a sign of how well things are going? And when I think of all the jobs that are out there with livable wages...well..I can't think of many.

Not that I like it or want it, but I have believed for quite some time now, that the actual national unemployment rate is double digits. I was shocked when I called a local food bank to help out and someone told me that their needs went up 65% in 2 years time. I see so many "for lease" sig...
