Duh
[Read the article: My close friend has clammed up]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She was dating a girl and she didn't want any of you thinking she is permanent lesbian.
My friend did this, she would only tell me about the boys she dated. When she dated a girl, she didn't tell me about until years later.
Or she was dating a married man, your ex-boyfriend, whatever.
So anyway, friendships are also about accepting who your friend is and for whatever reason, she didn't want to involve her friends in this period of her life. Also, if you haven't seen her for about a year, how good friends can you be. I see my good friends more than once every 6 months! So if you want to be the good friend you think you are, stop thinking about what she owes you, she doesn't owe you anything, your letter seems very me me me, why won't she tell me! I haven't told all of my friends everything about me, the only person who gets that priveledge is my husband.

This reminds me of
[Read the article: Breasts at work]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The scene in The Office, when a woman was pumping right at her desk! It was so funny and I thought quite brave especially because the pervy character who's name I can't recall was just sitting there and staring. I think he even took pictures and used them as his desktop picture.
It's one thing when it's the kids head there, seeing it covered with the platic cup thing was a little odd!

One thing that is pissing me off
[Read the article: My husband won't do his laundry]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is that people think he should be allowed to be resentful at all that there are grandchildren in the household. Where are the grandkids supposed to go, foster care? It's called shit happens, shit like losing a job.
I'm sure the LW didn't plan for that little circumstance either. Who the hell are you petulant children, wah wah wah, a family member got really sick and now we have to watch the kids! Damn, some of you gringo's are freaking scary, what are the Dursley's your hero's?
Now onto the LW, first off, your language and attitude towards your husband is not acceptable. It's easy to see why you've already been divorced. I mean laundry, really fucking laundry? I do the laundry, I've been doing it since I was 12, it's really not that damn hard, I much prefer it to dishes which have to be washed every day, so my husband usually does those. And who the hell splits up laundry by who it belongs too? It's split by colors and temperature otherwise you are wasting water and energy!
Also, I think you shafted yourself in the original agreement, yard work and household maintance to you do all the cleaning inside? Does something break every day, I'm guessing no.
Now dear LW, I suggest you search your soul to find out what is really bothering you, what is the underneath issue because it can't really be that he isn't throwing clothes in the wash and he's obsessed with golf. Do you have a hard time coping with change?
So sit down, have a calm discussion with him about how his actions make you feel and then he can feel safe to discuss his feelings too. I really think it's sad when married people have to go to a counselor just to talk to each other about what's really bothering them and hiding it behind chores and golf.
Don't sweat the small stuff lady, it'll just give you a headache. So if the only problem really is laundry, oh, just do it. Is he cheating, beating you, addicted to drugs or other substances? Spending you into debt? Is he honest and kind and supportive? Is he helpful toward the children and supportive of your fears do to your daughters illness? If it's no, no and yes, yes to be pissed off about laundry, you know what that means? It means you enjoy being pissed off.

I agree with zydeco
[Read the article: TV Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen are nothing alike from the one or two episodes of Hell's Kitchen I watched. Top Chef contestants are given a food creation challenge, then the judges eat the food. The best and worst are chosen and they are asked why they did certain things and sometimes are given constructive critisism. Hell's Kitchen seemed to be about two teams told to cook a menu or ingredient chosen by Ramsey while he sits around and berates them and/or the customers.
Until I saw Kitchen Nightmares on the BBC I thought Ramsey was a total asshole.
Tom Colicchio and Padma are not mean nor do they call the contestants names and they rarely spit the food out, it has to be inedible for them to do that, not mearly bad tasting or bland.

I hate internet shopping!
[Read the article: It all goes back to trail mix]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The only things I buy on the net are books or music.
As for the food thing, I think it's silly.
All I know is my husband hates grocery shopping, while I don't. So unless he's shopping for tailgate or poker night food, I do all the grocery shopping. Oh and I don't really like pink! I like blue, it's my favorite color. So sometimes I paint my nails pink or wear a pink blouse, but that's because when I paint my nails turquoise or something I get funny looks.
I did the Safeway online grocery shopping once, and nope don't like it. What's on the site is usually less than what's on the shelves and the pages take forever to navigate through, to figure out which items cost less by volume, I can just scan on the shelves, an internet page is harder. I'd rather just walk up and down the isles. Plus I got better meat selection when I go myself. I took two hours on the internet, I can do it in the store in under a half hour.
