Should I Tell Agent
Posted Friday November 17 2023, 1:45 pm
Hello. I was looking to buy a house with my family so we contacted a real estate agent "Reba". She was friendly and I had a lot in common with her so we kind of became friends. However, I felt like we weren't getting anywhere because she was very laid back. I did most of the house searches myself. We even took a break from looking for a few months, and she was very patient and kept in touch. The last straw was when we had some problems with the broker she worked with. Frustrated, I told her I wanted to take a break again and that I would contact her when I was ready to start looking. She said ok. We were new to the area, so out of curiosity I contacted a different real estate agent to see what else was out there. He was very helpf...

How do you handle men & management talking about your clothes/body at work?
Posted Thursday May 7 2020, 2:05 am
I'm a female. I work for a home health agency and I visit clients at an assisted living facility. Some guys were gossiping about my uniform/body and the executive director made a complaint to the home health agency I work for. Some of the guys referred to me as the girl with the big _____. Wth, isn't that inappropriate?
They didn't even get in trouble for talking about me. The executive director called my agency to tell them that I'm a distraction, and he's not sure where I get my uniform from, blah blah. I wear scrubs to work everyday, nothing inappropriate. I'm a modest person. I bought some scrubs that were elastic/stretchy. They were good quality scrubs. I don't have to throw them in the dryer and they don't wrink...

My manager flirts/compliments me a lot & then acts weird. What do I do?
Posted Thursday April 9 2020, 12:41 pm
I work full-time for a healthcare agency. I am 26 years old and I have a boss that is 34. This guy is cute, close to me in age, and has a really laid back/sweet personality. I am sort of attracted to him. I do know, however, that he is my boss first and foremost so I know that he is off-limits and I can accept that. The thing is, though, that he seems to flirt. Quite often. From what I have observed he does not act the same way towards other female coworkers. Sometimes in between the flirting, though, he becomes very formal/distant so it just leaves me feeling confused or like I did something wrong. Not saying that he should necessarily be flirting in the first place, but why would he do a complete 180 like that?

Extravagant Bachelorette?!?!
Posted Sunday October 28 2018, 10:51 am
To whomever can give some advice,
I am the maid of honour in a wedding and am trying to plan the bachelorette. I am currently on maternity leave (but was smart with saving before going off), and the other two bridesmaids do not have a ton of money and are currently saving for houses.
We know our bride would like an extravagant trip. One reason being that our husbands are the "go big or go home" type and have had their last two bachelor "parties" down south because it cost less than when they did a weekend bachelor on the town. Our bride is a BIG fan of down south. She has also let the word "trip" slip in conversation about her bachelorette. Furthermore she has said she may want to...

Is it fair for our dad to hold us to this bet?
Posted Tuesday November 21 2017, 7:32 pm
I should begin by saying our dad is really good at sleight of hand tricks and stuff like that. That's how he was able to pull this off.
On Sunday, my sister and I were having fun racing each other from one side of our backyard to the other. We were catching our breath between races when our dad said something and made us jump. We hadn't realized he'd come up behind us. He said he'd been watching us race and that he wanted in. He bet us that if we won, he'd do all our chores for us for a month. If he won, we'd do even more chores than usual for a month. We agreed and took our mark. When our dad yelled "Go!" we took off running as fast as we could. We were halfway to the finishing point and ahead of him when we both ...

Your thoughts?

I was wondering what you thought do you feel it is really that big of a deal nowadays to have a nude image of yourself online not a sexual one but like just of yourself nude on a beach or similar?

my wierd habit
Posted Thursday October 8 2015, 3:36 pm
usually when I am in a long conversation with someone I start feeling that my nose gets itchy. it appears weird to me as a part of my brain remains busy scratching the tip of my nose. my mom suggested it may be because I don't feel confident. but it even happens when I'm talking to my friend about my usual self.is that because I'm an introvert? what can be the possible reason? how do I get rid of it especially at social meetings, presentations , interviews ?

No kids at a wedding?
Posted Wednesday January 7 2015, 5:04 pm
Hi, I'm 26.. getting married in May. We're having a small wedding (40 people) in a church, followed by a very formal reception in a historical house.
We made the decision a while ago to have it an adults-only affair, as it's going to be a very late night (finishes at 12) and there's going to be a band and alcohol. We didn't want to put it on the invites (as weddings we've been to have) so we're just telling people. Everyone has expected so far not to bring their children, except my fiance's sister.
She hit the roof, saying that if her 7 month old baby can't be there neither will she. We said we can't make exceptions, it's not fair and she's far too little for the wedding. She said that she can't possibly leave her, eve...

Hair-puffy, thick, and frizzy
Posted Thursday August 21 2014, 3:14 am
My natural hair is really thick, frizzy, and puffy (not curly) making it really hard for it to "look good." It takes me a long time to straighten my hair, even with having had the keratin treatment and when I wear it natural it just looks messy and tangled. If I had really curly hair I could just wear it curly but it's not curly at all. What's a way if can wear my hair or products I can use that's easier to do than straightening?

Am I being selfish or rude?
Posted Saturday August 16 2014, 1:40 pm
My fiancé and I have two young daughters (under the age of 3), we've been engaged for a long time (4 years) and have decided to start planning our wedding for next year. My future sister in law just got engaged and already has a wedding date picked. She sent me a text earlier and stated that she hopes her nieces can be flower girls in her wedding. Problem is, I wanted my daughters to have their first flower girl experience in my wedding. Is it rude to tell my future SIL that and decline (and possibly make family upset) or just hate the idea but agree to it anyways?!

How to handle roommate messing up clothes?
Posted Tuesday March 25 2014, 7:18 pm
My GF and I got a new roommate because we have extra room in our apartment and it lowers the rent. He loves to cook and is really outgoing. He makes big breakfasts, lunches, dinners and delicous desserts. He also insists that he will take care of shopping, errands, etc. if we just sit back and try one of his pies or something.
But he has also been doing all the laundry and over the past few months my GF said a lot of her shirts and pants were getting tighter and a lot of mine were too. We think he might be accidentally shrinking them in the wash. How can we go about doing something about this nicely?

European vacation packages
Posted Monday March 10 2014, 7:28 pm
Hi!
My family is looking at vacation packages heading to several European countries and I have a couple of things I could use advice on: We are Canadian, so we really don't know much about Europe, since we have never been. I mention this because we don't want to offend anyone, or leave them thinking that all Canadians are stupid or something. LOL! Is there some crash course in how not to offend people when you travel to 14 countries in 21 days?
Also, if you were packing for a trip like this, or have been on one at all, are there things you wish you had brought, or left behind?
This is our first family trip abroad, and I would really love any advice you have about travelling or Europe in general.
Thank you!

No Reply to Email
Posted Saturday August 31 2013, 5:27 pm
I have a question regarding email etiquette. I am the type of person that responds to emails fairly quickly, same day or next day for the most part, unless I am extremely busy or forget. I try not to get frustrated when others do not respond in a timely manner, as reasons for delayed or absent response are varied. I still wonder sometimes whether no response means the other person is just busy, or disinterested.
I recently went in to speak to a speech pathologist regarding volunteering at her office. She let me observe one session, and when it was time to leave, I was trying to figure out which days I would be available to volunteer in the future. There was some back-and-forth talk and misunderstandings, so she told me to ju...

Is it too much ?
Posted Wednesday May 1 2013, 11:41 am
For the last few months, I have been reading various articles on etiquettes. Obviously, I have tried to employ them in my life. I have tried to make my family adopt them too. I would like to ask, are those etiquettes to be followed in my own house too. For example, it is mannerless to sit in an awkward position with one leg on the sofa and other one on the floor. But, should I overlook the etiquette at home because I would like to relax. Will I be cheating myself ?
