Brava imho!!

I completely agree with your response to vasumurti (sp?). Who are these people that always want to tell females what to do and how to do it? The assumption by groups such as these is that we (women) are so lacking in intelligence and common sense that we could not possibly have any idea what to do with our bodies. We must be so stupid or a Stepford Wife and lacking any brain cells whatsoever.

There are a large number of men that I think should never, ever have children, I do not walk up and say, "Hey, you should have a vasectomy for the sake of society and your family. Please, please do not pass on your defective genetic matter for further generations. There are some things that should not be inherited, such as the fact that you have unpleasant facial features, too short, ass too big, back acne, balding, too many blackheads, and the fact that you smell really bad and are missing some teeth. Good luck to you!!!".

No, I mind my own damned business and keep my unwanted opinions to myself.

To those who feel that there are large numbers of women who wait until the 7th month of pregnancy and then decide to just get rid of it - you are a liar.

Enough ranting, but for all men out there, "Good luck to you with all of that breeding". Stay out of my business and my crotch.

Remember: Personal Information Is Just That - Personal

There is not a company in this financial environment that wants to hear about your "treatment" or "personal issues". This is just the cold clean facts. Your alcoholism is just that - Personal. They also do not want to hear about any illness in your family. Especially, a wife or children with any medical or mental issues.

All it might mean is that the company or Library will incur higher expenses for any further "treatment stays". I have an enormous amount of knowledge about alcoholism and drug addictions. Expensive. Difficult. Ongoing.

Keep your mouth shut. Not everything in your life is public information. I do not understand the need to tell everyone everything about your life. Also, for those who tell you to be "honest" - your information is to be discussed in your AA group sessions and with your sponsor. That is why it is called Alcoholics Anonymous...

Butt too skinny!! Not his butt!!

You are all hysterical! If this article were to be played out on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart you would be laughing yourself into a coma. Rush Limbaugh is called entertainer, political pundit, new head of the Republican Party, etc.

My mother has always said that when someone shows who they are: believe them. Do not keep making excuses for someone who is consistently rude, ill-mannered abusive, etc. I could go on and on forever. Believe him. This is not an act.

Also, when I saw that ass I knew immediately that it was Photo Shopped (sp?). That ass is way too skinny. There is no way that there could possibly be any space to spread his legs. Can you really imagine him wearing tight jeans? Have you looked at his face? If his ass is similar in any way to his face....Oh,no, I taste vomit in my mouth...Time for bed. I do not need for this to be the last thought before sleep.

Screw the money - You are wasting your life - Get moving!!!

Your husband probably has a cash stash of his own. He probably has accounts parked in different names, different companies and different places. You need to document him and all of your assets. I agree - Forget the ring. You may need to use it later. One of your options is to have a cz installed in the setting and hide the diamond.

Your husband is in punishment mode. I'm certain that he has hidden much of the assets. He is anticipating your leaving.

Whether you stay or go now, you need to know that it will be rough. When you get away (hopefully, far, far away) I hope that you will establish the independence necessary to put together a decent life for yourself and your daughter. You will be surprised that after a while that money just won't seem to matter as much.

I wish you the very best of luck....Go!

Move your brother out of there, now!!!

Removing your brother will more than likely publicly open up these wounds. Ask your brother if he wants to come and live with you, even if your living conditions are difficult. It will take time for him to reach any sense of calm. It may take years, but if he remains his overall situation will only decline.

If he will move in with you or a sibling then you will need to get a court order and obtain guardianship. Believe me, your mother will most certainly feel you are out to get her. Obtain custody of your brother and at least one life will be enriched.

By writing to Cary you have already taken the first step. Good luck and don't back down.

Get your brother out, now.

Does Anyone Mind Their Own Business Anymore???

I think every day that others should not be allowed to procreate, drive, work, dress themselves or make any decision whatsoever.

I look about and see men that I believe should immediately have a vasectomy for the benefit of society.

But, I hold myself back and understand that it is not my business. I take care of myself and mind my own business.

I am not interested in what you do with your crotch - so stay out of mine.

Sorry for the vulgarity, but this is the time for plain speaking.

Did not have to hear the name "Anna Nicole Smith"!!

Although there was a great deal of media coverage, at least the media coverage was concerning a person of talent. I am thankful that it was not someone of Anna Nicole Smith's "talent".

Stevie Wonder did not play at Anna Nicole Smith's funeral.

Where is the perfect person?? I have yet to meet one.

There is no such thing as a perfect person. There is no such thing as a normal family.

Grow up.
