My partner turned 50 this year, I am 37 and the age gap has never been a problem between us.  He does not look (or act) his age, people are amazed when they find out.

We are now at a stage of thinking about babies, but the thought of a 50 year old father does bother me slightly.  My friend at school had an older father (55 when she was born) and she had a hard time with people assuming that he was her grandfather.

But I love the guy so I'm not going anywhere.

I have a 2005 Black V5 Sport beetle and I absolutely love it. 

I have had no problems with it at all, but I do low mileage (it's just gone over 21,000).

Hi,

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will chip in but basically you are not eating enough.  Have you used the tools on this site to gauge how much you need to eat per day?

1500 cals per day is a minimum for a man and it depends on your height and current weight as to how much you need.  Eat more if you are excercising as your body needs it to keep your organs and muscles going.  It seems strange but eating more can actually help you to lose weight because your metabolism shuts down if you don't eat enough, or worse still it will start using your organs for fuel instead.

As for the black spots - again no expert, but could it be toxins coming out as blackheads?  Hopefully this should pass as your body gets used to a healthier diet.

Good luck

I would recommend a cat too.  My 14 year old cat passed away in March and I have just got 2 RSPCA cats who are 4 and 10 years old.  I work full time so they spend the day on their own.

I have owned 6 cats in total over the years and all have been outdoor cats using a cat flap to let themselves in and out.  As they got older they spent less time outdoors but still went out to have a look about - there was no way any of them would be house cats, the pull of the outdoors was too much for them.

I do keep them in at night though, for 2 reasons:

1. So I know where they are and don't worry about them getting run over.

2. I was told that most small birds are caught in the early hours as dark mornings provides good cover for predators.

Rescue cats (3 of my 6 have been) are the way to go but see if you can find out as much about them before you get them and get into a routine with them as soon as you can - they are creatures of habit.

All my cats have loved having a routine and were put out if it differed - although I have often wondered who decided on the routine, me or them!

aaaaaggggghhhhhh!

I have just adopted 2 rescue cats.  Max is 4 and Isobell is 10.  Their previous owner's marriage broke up and she went to live in South Africa for 3 months and couldn't keep them!

The rescue centre were amazed that we would take on a 10 year old cat because most people won't, but she is so cute and friendly, and who knows she may well have another 10 years in her.

I think it could be the effects of coming off the pill.

I stopped taking the BC pill on 28th July after being on one brand or another for almost 20 years.  I had 2 weeks of sore nipples and a week of bursting into tears for no apparent reason. 

I would give it a bit more time before you start to worry too much (and worrying in itself can cause your cycle to mess up).

Best of luck

My cats used to love the airing cupboard.  Second shelf in with the towels, all warm and snuggly.  I just had to remember to leave the door open a tiny bit.

My friend had a camper van and their cat used to get in there and sleep.  One day they went away in it not knowing that he was still in there until they got to where they were going.  From then on he went on holiday with them in the van - he loved it.  I would be too scared that he would get out and not come back but he always did.

I think I would do aerobics and see how many people joined in.

Or just curl up and go to sleep for the hour.

Wow, fantastic that you have something that great to look forward to.  Hope it's everything you want it to be. 

My answers are:

How long since your last vacation? 18 months (Portugal)

Do you prefer warm or cool destinations?  Warm

Best vacation and why? Paris 1990 - La Defense Jean Michelle Jarre concert - amazing!  Unbelievably 19 years ago to the day! How time flies.

Worst vacation and why? Camping on the Isle of White - it rained all week.

Anywhere you want, what location would you choose for vacation? Italy, not fussy where exactly

On vacation, do you diet or splurge? Bit of both

Currently would you prefer vacation as relax/chill or fun/excitement? Relax/chill - a get away from it all and wind down holiday

That's great news.  Let us know how it goes.

Has anyone tried the snore spray that is supposed to shrink the nasal tissue?  I've thought about picking that up for him, but it's kinda expensive to just try.  May try the vaporub trick, though.  Maybe it'll help moisturize his feet, too!

My Mum uses the spray and it seems to work for her.  It may be a short term solution for you to try, however I think there are underlying health problems with your husband that need to be looked into rather than masked over. 

So, I'm afraid I am with the consensus here, he needs to get a professional check done.  It's time he takes responsibility for his own health.

Best of luck.

And Molly Sugden, although most of you won't know who she is

 "how do I make my thighs not touch?"

duct tape a piece of sandpaper to each inner thigh and run until they are sanded right off.

 or you could just stand with your feet farther apart.. it's less bloody

 and quieter

Oooh that's exciting.  Go for it and have fun.  But make sure you eat properly - you want to look your best and have some energy don't you?

Sometimes you just gel with someone and you find things to talk about, others it just doesn't happen with.  I'm a very shy person so when I meet someone that I can have a good chat with it means a lot.  Just enjoy it for what it is and don't rush into anything.
