Good grief, a bit over sensitive? People are reaching for some comment, granted what they're saying is kind of lame but I didn't read anything THAT offensive. I've got news for her, if she's 7 months pregnant and is NOT fat she should discuss this with her OB. She's got a baby in her belly, of course she's fat.If she doesn't watch it people will be commenting on her hormonal mood swings and not her pregnant belly.

I have one thing to add to Eden and TychaBrahe's comment:

Buy a gun and learn how to use it.

I don't need a man to install a chain lock. If I couldn't do it myself, I could hire someone. I want someone to care enough about me to worry about me and to want to install the chain lock for my protection. See?

My dad was in hospice (in Florida) and received wonderful care. I would recommend them to anyone dealing with the imminent death of a loved one.

First of all, you don't need a husband to install a chain lock or check your tire pressure. In case you didn't already know, women are not helpless and are fully capable of doing anything we men can do so please do not look at us as built-in tradesmen. Sex life - well that is a serious concern so don't bring irrelevant things like handyman chores into the mix.

If you and your ex get along as friends, keep it that way. You've committed adultery in the past and you will probably do it in the future - it doesn't seem to bother you at all. Why your ex wants to reconcile is beyond me because adultery is, IMHO, a deal-breaker. As for sucking the life out of each other - that's also a deal-breaker. Couples are supposed to enhance each others' lives, not suck the life out of them.

If things are great with the new guy, go with it. And stop worrying about the old traditional men's and women's work - that no longer applies. Besides, chain locks are useless when it comes to preventing a burglary or worse. Go for a reinforced door and frame with a dead bolt lock - installed by a professional.

I have heard many negative reports on Hospice. I have no personal experience myself--that's just what I've heard from numerous people who sought their help with a terminally ill loved one.
