You will be okay
[Read the article: I'm a suburban husband in my 40s and I think I'm getting depressed]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]really. Live through it. It is not that bad. You have children, and a wife. Just deal with it like the rest of us. Use your music hobby, have fun with it. Appreciate your children and your wife. Love the taste of your dinner. Live. Stop worrying about the rest of it. Just live. Smell the air, watch your children. Stop looking at your naval. Really, there is so much beauty out there,....right under your nose. Just see it. Open you eyes. Remember how gorgeous it was when your baby was born? Every moment is that gorgeous.

This is typical of these right wing nut jobs
[Read the article: "We're all fascists now"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This guy is nothing but an extremist right wing Jewish Ann Coulter. Guys like this invoke Hitler whenever and whereever they can because they think they own the rights to the Holocaust. I'm sick of it. Other people died too, they just don't exploit it over and over for cheap shots.

Please leave with your daughters
[Read the article: My husband and I are fighting bitterly over our failing restaurant]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just do it. Something is really wrong. I have worked in restaurants and my gut instincts tells me that your husband has a substance abuse problem that you don't really know about because it is happening at the restaurant. Leave. He sounds dangerous.

I can't stand my cat's
[Read the article: What I wouldn't do for my cat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As soon as I had my child I no longer felt the same for my two cats. In fact I can no longer even stand my cats. They are needy, obnoxious, shed everywhere, occasionally pee on beds, (yes the litter boxes are clean) destroy my antiques and rugs. What I ask myself do I get out of this relationship except spending money for vets, food, litter etc? I get nothing, and if I could go back in time I would not have the damn animals. As for forking over thousands of dollars on a pet? Ridiculous. Animals are not children. I don't care what any PETA freak who thinks animals are holier than children has to say. I would put my damn cats to sleep if I found out they were ill and it would cost more than a couple hundred bucks to cure them. It is infinately more important that money be spent on my son, not some shedding, peeing caterwauling beast. That said, my cats lead a very cozy life, they sleep with me, they are fed well, they get to sun on the roof of my house...I'm just not going to get a 2nd mortgage on my house to keep the idiots alive.

go ahead and insult me personally Reilly
[Read the article: What I wouldn't do for my cat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I really don't care. If I were psychotic I wouldn't be just complaining about my cats, I would have had them turned into ovenmitts already. My point is, a cat is a cat, and I don't give a shit what tree hugging Peta celery saving crap you have to say about that. Geez, maybe you should try to get some legislation passed that forces people to mortgage their homes and their children't future so their cats can have gold plated healthcare. Yeah, that is a great idea! Forget funding for healthcare for humans! Cats are much more important. Yeah Reilly, you should try to run for office with a platform like that!

Keep typing away Reilly
[Read the article: What I wouldn't do for my cat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]there in your ugly little dark room while your pasty skin get's pastier. My husband and I are going to have a lovely time tonight at a play while you eat a frozen dinner and troll around the internet looking for people to insult.

Hey Pamela and Reilly
[Read the article: What I wouldn't do for my cat]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I simply agreed with the article and I was attacked venemously by the pious sanctimonious insane animals are people too crowd. People like you are intolerant idealogues. I find it appalling that you people get your panties in such a twist about someone complaining about thier cats yet don't bat an eye when you read about live children being tossed onto bonfires in Darfur, or little girls being sold into sex slavery, or senior citizens dying from oozing bed sores in nursing homes. Your values are totally twisted and backwards, and I hope one day you have to choose whether to spend your money on your ailing cat or your ailing child.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I feel the same about "Shrimp Scampi" (redundant) like ATM Machine! LOL:)!

I agree with annoymous
[Read the article: Help! I'm a prisoner in a big suburban house!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When will the knee jerk Salon reaction of Suburb bashing stop? I have lived in both NYC and it's suburbs and they both have their positives and negatives, they are just different. As for the prisoner in the big house: I suspect he is just financially over his head and is having constant axiety. He should try to ride out this housing slump and then sell. Next time he ought to buy a house in a town that actually has a village. That takes care of the itch to walk to the hardware store, go out to dinner, or walk in a park without ever getting into a car while at the same time having decent public schools and low crime.

WTF!?
[Read the article: My ex wants our 14-year-old daughter to witness his new wife's childbirth]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is wrong with this woman's ex-husband? Her daughter should NOT be in the same room as her step-mother gives birth! Oh, and Salon readers who have twisted this into a home birth vs. hospital birth debate I suggest you go back and re-read the letter.

I'm impressed with Samantha Power
[Read the article: Getting through these dark times]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am very impressed with Samantha Power, however I wish she would also talk about our domestic problems ...we have a rapidly decaying infrastructure, a class structure that is becoming ossified, a healthcare crisis, and a majority of Americans who read at a 5th grade level. I realize she is Obama's advisor on foreign policy, but when I read about repairing the world's hotspot's infrastructures all I can think about is that bridge in Minnesota that collapsed, or the levies in New Orleans.
