These are the questions you must ask yourself. &amp;nbsp;If you are still having problems trying to secure your identity, another stiff drink is in order!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;~Arlee&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352014297108423991-7535775487323876827?l=askarlee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/feeds/7535775487323876827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7352014297108423991&amp;postID=7535775487323876827&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/7535775487323876827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/7535775487323876827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/2010/08/dear-aholic.html' title='Dear ?aholic'/><author><name>Donda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07067890201157046546</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0V7AhDqZ9EM/TAQb6W30C5I/AAAAAAAAAGI/qYL2id1vrj8/S220/d.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352014297108423991.post-8270744219599409323</id><published>2010-08-11T22:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-11T22:00:24.372-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Amorous</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Dear Arlee,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;My husband is a construction worker. He came home today, went to the grocery with me, worked out in the yard and didn't clobber me when he found out I bought a playhouse for my kids. All these things leave me feeling amorous towards him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Why, Dear Arlee, does he ruin the mood (as usual) by making a comment such as this: "C'mon, let's go have sex.

style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;I can sympathize with your dilemma. &amp;nbsp;Mr. Arlee has been known, on occasion, to sabotage the mood by saying such things as, "Can I hit that tonight? &amp;nbsp;I mowed the lawn".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;To understand your Husband's statement you must first be able to put yourself into a man's psyche. &amp;nbsp;Males are a visual creature and are often times clumsy with bedroom talk.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When he says, "C'mon let's go have sex" what he actually means to say is, "You are sexy perfection. &amp;nbsp;My body aches for you. &amp;nbsp;I want to slide roughly into your loveliness." &amp;nbsp;When he refers to his anatomy as a "big, sweaty weiner" he really means "massive, dewy, love stalk". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;In most cases, if you can hush him quickly enough the mood can be salvaged. &amp;nbsp;I would suggest giving him a sneak peek at the girls as soon as he looks like he is going to utter a word. &amp;nbsp;There's something about boobage that will drop a man's jaw to the floor leaving him speechless. &amp;nbsp;This technique will work for a woman with even the most unfortunate rack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

The&amp;nbsp;growth grew in length (about 8") rather than width (4") so I went to the doctor to ask what it was. He told me it was a condition called&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Penisitis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;. In other words I was developing a new penis from my forehead. This amazed and concerned me and I&amp;nbsp;said&amp;nbsp;to my doctor "I don't want to see this penis hanging there". My doctor&amp;nbsp;replied " you wont see it because&amp;nbsp;your balls will be hanging in front of&amp;nbsp;you eyes"!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-collapse:

men in the world. &amp;nbsp;Penisitis Cabasa first came to be discovered in Hollywood but has traveled the globe and has reached epidemic proportions. &amp;nbsp;Fornicatias Penisitis Cabasa, or more commonly known as Fucking Dickhead is the most extreme form with symptoms such as grandiose behavior, arrogance and the feeling of entitlement. &amp;nbsp;It often goes undiagnosed because the sufferer is unwilling or unable to see his own condition. &amp;nbsp;I believe this denial can be attributed to the scrotum obstructing the eyelids. &amp;nbsp;More research needs to be done but "HEAD" or "Helping Egotistical Arrogant Dickheads" has had difficulty finding willing participants for their clinical &amp;nbsp;trials. &amp;nbsp;If you would like to participate in this study, please contact

-webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"&gt;There are a few reasons that your friend is acting the way that she is. &amp;nbsp;Not knowing your friend's particular circumstances, I would say that there is a good chance that one of these scenarios may be fitting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse;

class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"&gt;There are some people that like to portray themselves as perfect, with their perfect picket fences and perfect home-baked cookies. &amp;nbsp;This type of person will focus on the problems of another because their own situation is not so "perfect". &amp;nbsp;Rather than dealing with their own issues, they will work to tackle yours. &amp;nbsp;It is easier to "fix" someone else's problems than to even so much as admit that you have your own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"

-webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"&gt;There is also the possibility that your friend may see how badly you are being treated by your loved ones and feels helpless to do anything about it themselves. &amp;nbsp;So, in an effort to help you, she angers you to the point where she thinks that you may take action yourself and demand the respect and courtesy that you are entitled to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span

style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"&gt;There is also a chance that your friend is a flaming idiot. &amp;nbsp;One who could care less of whose feelings she hurts. &amp;nbsp;In this case, dump the heifer. &amp;nbsp;You are better off. &amp;nbsp;Like you need someone insulting your intelligence on the daily!! &amp;nbsp;Find a new friend that will value you for all of your strengths and flaws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family:

style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"&gt;, commonly known as boogers, may actually contain all of the daily nutrients needed by the human body. &amp;nbsp;A clinical trial involving 100 participants over a one-year period has shown that the consumption of one's own &lt;i&gt;Rhinocrudula&lt;/i&gt; has healing benefits. &amp;nbsp;One third of the participants reported no illness during the study. &amp;nbsp;No placebo control group was studied during this trial. &amp;nbsp;This highly controversial organic healing has

&amp;nbsp;In an effort to test this hypothesis, I ate a bowl of corn pudding, waited, grunted, collected and put the specimen through a vigorous filtering system that I devised with the spaghetti strainer and a hair-dryer. &amp;nbsp;I was able to collect enough corn to dump into the flux capacitor. &amp;nbsp;I successfully made it to 1989 whereby I found myself laying on a picnic table at a golf course under some dude named Petie with a "Milli Vanilli" tune blaring from the speakers of the DeLorean! &amp;nbsp;So in conclusion, yes you can reuse your poop-corm!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;~Arlee&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352014297108423991-5276219101943633065?l=askarlee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/feeds/5276219101943633065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7352014297108423991&amp;postID=5276219101943633065&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/5276219101943633065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/5276219101943633065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/2010/07/dear-eco-nut.html' title='Dear Eco-Nut'/><author><name>Donda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07067890201157046546</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0V7AhDqZ9EM/TAQb6W30C5I/AAAAAAAAAGI/qYL2id1vrj8/S220/d.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352014297108423991.post-8322264907073139700</id><published>2010-07-11T19:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-11T19:53:33.633-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Shitface Hyphen Smellybreath</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Dear Arlee,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;My parents christened me James Shitface-Smellybreath and my name has been the source of much ridicule and laughter, all&amp;nbsp;at my expense.

perhaps an undiagnosed personality disorder. &amp;nbsp;It could stem from childhood. &amp;nbsp;Being raised by parents that were also "blamers" passing on the "blame gene". &amp;nbsp;Growing up with alcoholic parents where it may have been necessary to adopt an "I didn't do it" mentality so as to not rock the boat. &amp;nbsp;It could be caused by low self esteem or fear of the loss of control over a situation. &amp;nbsp;Or it could just be fear to admit he may play a part in something he regrets. &amp;nbsp;There is a good chance that accepting responsibility means admitting failure. &amp;nbsp;The first step to resolving things is probably going to be the hardest part. &amp;nbsp;Having your husband admit that he does not accept responsibility for incidents as he should. &amp;nbsp;Next, I think you should identify the reason that he blames you for incidents that he clearly has had some part in. &amp;nbsp;Communication is key. &amp;nbsp;If he cannot be honest with you, then you should encourage him to at least be honest with himself. Tell him when he feels like he is going to blame you for something, walk to the mirror and ask himself does he really believe you are at fault for whatever the current gripe is about. &amp;nbsp;If this doesn't yield results, I would recommend marriage counseling to get to the bottom of this complex issue. &amp;nbsp;As for blaming you for a miscarriage, it is unacceptable and I would like to say to your husband, "You are a little peckersnot"! &amp;nbsp;And Dear Blasted, keep your pimp hand strong!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span

If you are waiting for the perfect time to have children, I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that even with the most preparation and planning there will always be bumps in the road. &amp;nbsp;I don't think you have to find a &lt;i&gt;real young&lt;/i&gt; woman but rather you should be looking for someone who you would be proud to call the "Mother of your children". &amp;nbsp;That is not to say that you could not adopt as a single man. &amp;nbsp;This kind of thing happens all the time and is not as uncommon as it was decades ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;~Arlee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352014297108423991-5874227022820371648?l=askarlee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/feeds/5874227022820371648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7352014297108423991&amp;postID=5874227022820371648&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/5874227022820371648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/5874227022820371648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/2010/06/go-forth-and-multiply.html' title='Go Forth And Multiply'/><author><name>Donda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07067890201157046546</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0V7AhDqZ9EM/TAQb6W30C5I/AAAAAAAAAGI/qYL2id1vrj8/S220/d.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352014297108423991.post-8747977596149001529</id><published>2010-06-21T21:48:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T21:49:12.140-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Conflicted</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Dear Arlee,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;When I was 24 years old, I found out that my "biological" father wasn't my real father. It was a man my mom had an affair with which happened to be her husband's best friend. I caught up with him many years later and we did a DNA test and found out he was my real dad. I tried having a relationship with him and all it did was cause problems with my "biological" father and also with my real father and his wife who was my mom's best friend at the time. 14 years later, I still don't have a relationship with my real dad and my "biological" father passed away 5 years ago! Was it selfish of me to want to know who my real father was? I have regretted it since the day we got the DNA test results back and feel like I gained nothing by it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Dear Conflicted,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Biology is just that. &amp;nbsp;Biology. &amp;nbsp;It doesn't determine anything about your life but the natural color of your hair. &amp;nbsp;And, L'Oreal can easily erase that genetic marker if you so wish. &amp;nbsp;You were not selfish to want to know what genes formed you. &amp;nbsp;That is totally natural and you should not be regretful that you wanted to know. &amp;nbsp;Medically speaking, it is important to have a complete family medical history. &amp;nbsp;But it doesn't have to define you. &amp;nbsp;Does it change the way that you live your life? &amp;nbsp;Maybe. &amp;nbsp;While you may not have gained a father figure or a desirable relationship, you gained truth and knowledge. &amp;nbsp;Knowledge of your who your biological father is. &amp;nbsp;A life experience that you can draw from. &amp;nbsp;Perhaps, one day you may encounter someone who is in a similar situation. &amp;nbsp;You could share your experience with them and in some small way it could help that person. &amp;nbsp;Everything happens for a reason but it may not be until much later that you realize the value in finding your biological father.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352014297108423991-8747977596149001529?l=askarlee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/feeds/8747977596149001529/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7352014297108423991&amp;postID=8747977596149001529&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/8747977596149001529'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/8747977596149001529'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/2010/06/dear-conflicted.html' title='Dear Conflicted'/><author><name>Donda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07067890201157046546</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0V7AhDqZ9EM/TAQb6W30C5I/AAAAAAAAAGI/qYL2id1vrj8/S220/d.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352014297108423991.post-7814415484382503161</id><published>2010-06-21T15:05:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T15:05:48.137-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Husband</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Dear Arlee,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;I'm 84 years old and find it difficult to concentrate and my wife insists on talking to me during sex.

But these grandparents do drugs &amp;amp; fight all the time &amp;amp; are constantly going to jail for domestic violence.&amp;nbsp;Two weeks ago her 3 yr old told her that she had been "Touched" by a friend of the grandparents. The childs father ended up going to the mans house &amp;amp; beating him up...Well my problem with this whole thing is that she never took her child to the hospital or called the police..I have recently stopped going around them because I am upset with her for not being the "Great" mother that I know she is. I think that she should have reported this. So now I am confused on what to do about it myself....I can not ignore the situation like she did...But what do I do?....Do I stay away like I have been?..Do I try to talk her into taking the child to the doctor?...Do I report it myself?...Please give me some advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;

I have two teenage boys (16 and 17) and they are out of control. They fight constantly and no matter what type of punishment I give them, they still do it. The 17 year old drives them both to school but they actually fist fight on their way. For example, this morning, they got in a fight down the street and the younger one walked home. I had to ride him to school, (which is not close). I have rode them a few times, but gas is an issue since it is so far and I use twice as much to get them there and then go back to get them. They have no respect for anything. Is there a bootcamp or something I can send them to? Thank you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;Dear Referee,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;I am sure that there are "bootcamps" or other similar groups for &lt;i&gt;unruly teens&lt;/i&gt; in your area and it would be as easy as browsing the Yellow Pages to find such a program. &amp;nbsp;You may be able to solve this issue in your home. &amp;nbsp;The first step to solving a problem is identifying it. &amp;nbsp;Sit them down and ask them why they fight. &amp;nbsp;Is there an issue of sibling rivalry? &amp;nbsp;When you have children so close in age, personalities usually clash. &amp;nbsp;Fighting while driving poses a serious safety issue and you should make clear to both boys that driving is a privilege and with that privilege comes responsibility. &amp;nbsp;If one or both of them cannot handle the responsibility then the alternative could be the school bus. &amp;nbsp;Although it may cause a temporary inconvenience, revoking the car privilege may prove to be enough to resolve this issue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;~Arlee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352014297108423991-222069271467738631?l=askarlee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/feeds/222069271467738631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7352014297108423991&amp;postID=222069271467738631&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/222069271467738631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/222069271467738631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/2010/06/dear-referee.html' title='Dear Referee'/><author><name>Donda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07067890201157046546</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0V7AhDqZ9EM/TAQb6W30C5I/AAAAAAAAAGI/qYL2id1vrj8/S220/d.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352014297108423991.post-4773089476202334083</id><published>2010-06-14T09:22:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-15T19:57:08.551-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Beholder</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Dear Arlee,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I have a woman who is wonderful.

&amp;nbsp;She is a pretty wise woman, my Mama. &amp;nbsp;If you are embarrassed to take your sweetheart out in public are you sure that you are not having an issue with your own self esteem? &amp;nbsp;That said, even the best relationships bred from friendship and chock full of love, trust and laughter will struggle to remain solid if there is not a physical attraction. &amp;nbsp;Life is short. &amp;nbsp;It is not fair to string your lady friend along if the courtship doesn't provide you (and her) with ALL of the components that you feel you need for a long-lasting, fulfilling relationship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

come from a chicken's butt. &amp;nbsp;We also know that a man will eat anything that is directly or indirectly related to where it comes from. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="UIStory_Message"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="UIStory_Message"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;~Arlee&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7352014297108423991-923432274113717605?l=askarlee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/feeds/923432274113717605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7352014297108423991&amp;postID=923432274113717605&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/923432274113717605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7352014297108423991/posts/default/923432274113717605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://askarlee.blogspot.com/2010/06/omelet-controversy.html' title='The Omelet Controversy'/><author><name>Donda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07067890201157046546</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0V7AhDqZ9EM/TAQb6W30C5I/AAAAAAAAAGI/qYL2id1vrj8/S220/d.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352014297108423991.post-3024747266024121201</id><published>2010-06-03T18:05:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-15T20:00:34.010-04:00</updated><title type='text'>When To Call It Quits</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Dear Arlee,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;I am perplexed about a situation that happened yesterday.
