    very flat feet - no arch

    Hi Doria, I'm sorry about the feet. My husband has a similar problem- one of his feet has almost no arch, and the other has no arch at all. We found this great shoe store called "The Walking Company" that sells all kinds of shoes, and many are specifically for these kinds of problems. The...

    Money & single women

    Tell her exactly what you said in your post- stop spending YOUR money. If she is as wealthy as you state, she can do one of the following: 1. Remodel her own house as she sees fit, on her own dollar, because clearly she sounds bored and maybe remodeling gives her something to do 2. Do all...

    Is this reasonable?

    I say wear what you like and are comfortable in. The only way this guy can ban you from wearing something is if you are at HIS lake. If this is a public lake or in a park, he really has no authority to tell you what to do or not to do. You're an adult and presumably a reasonable person. I...

    Adult only weddings

    My friend Rachel is in the process of planning a wedding, and another friend just recently got married. Both weddings: adults only. Rachel actually dislikes children, but her biggest reason for keeping the kids away is that her fiance's family has a number of small children, all of the kind...

    Pregnancy Etiquette Please!!

    Ok, I need some imput. I was out shopping with a very pregnant friend the other day, and this older woman, a complete stranger, just walks up to her and pats her belly, trying to feel the baby (I guess). My friend and I were totally appalled, and she told the woman to get her hands off...

    Moral Debate

    Wow, I am so sorry this happened to you... I would certainly be creeped out. You definitely need to share these pics with someone- like the police. They may recognize the guy. Hey, if he did this to you, he may have done it or will do it to someone else. You may be able to help catch this...

    New peeve

    Couldn't agree with you more, Marie (red mct). I have to say that one of the reasons I read Cathe's forums religiously is because everyone is usually so encouraging and supporting. I'm overweight and am at this very moment wearing a sleeveless tank top. I'd hate to even think what might...

    Why do people have more than 2 kids??

    Hi, I'm currently childless (but will be trying in the near future) so I must throw in my overblown opinion. I can understand the arguments about multiple children and the bonds and love and all that, and I certainly don't intend to demean that in any way. However, considering how...

    Question for all dog owners

    Hi, Just wanted to say sorry about your poor dogs. You sound like a wonderful pet owner, staying up all night and caring for them the way you did. Your vet sounds kind of inept- it might be time to look elsewhere. I have no veterinary training whatsoever, but I'm an immunologist and can...

    Is there a shrink in the house??

    Hi, I'm no therapist, but I've just read your very sad posting and it got me thinking... First of all, because you stayed in this marriage for 24 years, we can all assume that at one point you must have loved your husband even if you do not now? I just find it sad that the only positive...
