Save up money to pay back your creditors in lump sums and then negotiate to pay less than you owe. Most credit companies will accept exactly what you owe them minus ALL of the interest they have added on. Before you pay them - this is important - make them give you a letter promising that when you have paid them the agreed upon amount they will clear your credit. Do not pay them without the credit clearing agreement.
If you are going to expose plots of movies and give away their secrets you are supposed to warn us! I had not seen Signs, now perhaps its pointless!
It is so tiresome how individuals try to make a name for themselves by making up silly theories about famous writers.
Why is this complicated interesting woman reduced to the fact that she "did not like sex?" This writer is creepy and sleazy - how can salon let such a loser sexist jerk write for their magazine?!?
You want this. Make the offer!
The minute some idiot guy says "we're pregnant" he has lost me. No, you aren't pregnant. Your wife is pregnant. She is the one whose body will never be the same again. She is the one who is going to have her pelvis ripped open. I know I should not be amazed my the recent effort of men to steal rights over pregnancy from women, but I am still disgusted. This guy is a self-centered dork. Who cares what he has to say!

If you use the term "pro-life Catholic" then you sound like you are anti-choice. Are you? As a writer you should think more about language. I am pro-life. Maybe Idi Amin was a pro-death person, I would hope that most people are not that way. People who support a woman's right to chose - people who are "pro-choice" are not also "pro-death." If you think that pro-choice people are "pro-death" maybe you should be writing for the Drudge Report and not for Salon.

As a woman this makes me uncomfortable. Too many men disempowering a woman. I once got duct-taped by some other girls at camp. It wasn't cool to complain too loudly, but it was still uncomfortable. This video seems creepy. I would like to know why they duct taped her.
Sorry, but your wife is nuts! What could possibly wrong with dipping your bread in your eggs? Enjoy your food! And tell her to enjoy hers.
That is not funny. That is just annoying.
Back when I was young and worked at a bookstore, I almost bought a book by this piece of crap. The assistant manager suggested that I take a closer look at the content first. The book clearly sold itself as something supportive of women. It was quite the opposite. What idiot at Salon thinks we want to hear from an anti-feminist scum like this? This pathetic creature is known for throwing chairs at students who disagree with "it." There is not one thing that can be respected about this creep. "It" should be writing for Drudge not Salon. Please, Please, Please get rid of "it" once and for all and STOP THE MADNESS. Everytime I see "it" on Salon, I vow not to renew my membership. I just got the note about your fees going up this year. I am not paying for this bull****. I am not paying the salary of a creature who is pure evil. In what world does "it" possibly represent a liberal or intelligent voice?
I am not only tired, but disgusted and sick of women (or anyone) who says "we are trying to get pregnant" or "we are pregnant." Only women get pregnant. Men never get pregnant. Women's bodies are changed permanently by pregnancy. Women go through terrible pain to give birth. Why are some women giving men credit for this? Where did this incredibly stupid, offensive, and new tradition come from? In a time when women should be increasing their power in society, this is one area where I see a huge regression and it makes me deeply angry.
One thing this woman needs to realize is that SHE had the miscarriages! I am not saying they did not affect her husband, but they happened to her. THEY were never pregnant. Only she was. To deal with the situation, she needs to own the situation. Her husband is not experiencing it as she is.
