    Do men shave their armpits?

    During the summer I try to keep the body hair shorter, not shaved. More of it is exposed and in the case of the "pits" and other parts where body parts join up it can just get nasty when you start to sweat. I don't think I'd ever wax or totally shave but trim is ok with me.

    Would really love some opinions on this conversation!

    The players themselves need to police their own at some point. Years ago, I remember Paul Molitor asked to be traded because his home park had a Budweiser contract and every time someone hit a home run it was " "insert name" this Buds for you". Molitor had been raised in a family with...

    What impacts do you see re: economy?

    Did they replace the worker that got fired? If he was always calling in you might not miss him but if someone retires will they be replacing that worker as well? An economic downturn may force an employer to freeze hiring and cut through attrition. No one loses their jobs but those that...

    Skype and Vonage are cool but one warning.... When you call 911 you don't know where that call is going. Don't be so quick to dump the traditional phone yet.

    What impacts do you see re: economy?

    Whenever Bernanke and the fed drop that interest rate and pump more $$ into the economy the value of the dollar goes down. That makes the price of anything imported go up, like those gas prices. So if you're going to buy anything imported better now than later. The Wall St investor may...

    Some of those European countries have $10 gallon because their country taxes it to that level. I lived overseas and was taxed to death with VAT and a host of other taxes. For those wondering how to get rid of flourescent lightbulbs, any ACE hardware store will take them back for FREE...

    What never to say to a Police Officer

    Hunter S Thompson in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" had a parable about dodging tickets. He would get a police officer chasing him at high speed on the interstate. As he approached an exit he would hold off on taking the exit until right before the exit ramp ended. At high speeds even...

    Vent.....

    I was going to ignore the DH/DW issue and address the working nights issue myself. I have worked the graveyard shift 13 years. We have never needed day care, no one has had to take a day of work for a sick kid. It has worked out well for the family but it kills our social life Most...

    I'm so proud of my husband.

    Janie, Having "bottomed out" on drugs and alcohol as a young adult, I know truly that you cannot get anyone to change until they feel they have reached their bottom and are willing to change their life to climb out of the hole they dug for themselves. Your husband probably reached his...
