People don't like to make eye contact in a road rage situation out of self-preservation. If someone drives up cursing and screaming they are asking for a confrontation. People who ignore you don't want to get into a fight or provoke you. They (not just old white men )think that if someone is angry enough to drive up and scream, who knows what else they will do? What if they have a gun in the glove compartment? When someone is raging, why do something to increase the rage? Oh, and look into some anger management classes.

Your brother is extremely insensitive. This could be out of meanness or ignorance. I have food allergies, too (peppers and walnuts). Food allergies can be extremely dangerous. For instance, if I eat a cookie with walnuts in it, my tongue and lips begin to swell. If I allowed the reaction to continue I would have breathing problems. I could possibly die. I think it is extremely important that you find a way to educate your brother on your daughter's condition. Possibly some internet articles from reliable websites or newspaper articles. Does your daughter's doctor have any literature? It also seems that your brother shows some passive aggressive tendencies toward your daughter and you. Why did he get angry when you asked him to move the peanuts out of her reach? Adults must do their best to keep children safe - by putting covers on electric sockets, not letting them run with scissors, or not lettings them get foods that they are allergic to.

Bald is OK. I have dated many balding men and it didn't bother me. Many men look better bald! I think it's important what you do with your remaining hair. Don't go for a combover, grow it out long in the back, or do a "Donald Trump.'" Those looks make it seem you are embarrased and insecure about your looks. It nomally looks better if a guy just cuts his remaining hair short or shaves it completely.

The habits of many nuns (as well as monks and priests)are based on Medieval clothing from when the order began. They are often in rough, drab fabric as an outward sign of their devotion to poverty and service to God. Also, the shapelessness of the clothing displays a sense of modesty and humbleness - much like the hajib. Additionally, the habit is a clear sign, a uniform, that shows that they have taken the vows. I went to Catholic schools for 17 years (kindergarten through college). Most nuns I have dealt with do not wear habits - they wear 'normal' clothes. After the Vatican II conference, many things in the Catholic Church changed, including the requirement to wear habits. Some of the older nuns keep the habit (sorry for the pun), while some orders still require it.

I have been heavy all of my life. I understand how you feel. Next time you see your doctor, ask for advice. Many doctors have issues approaching weight issues with their patients and wait for you to bring it up. Learn about nutrition from the web and books. STOP dieting!!! Learn how to eat healthy foods and what a portion size really is. Talk to your brothers and see if they can help.

Growing up, all of the kids in the neighborhood referred to each other's parents as Mr or Miss Firstname (Miss Judy, Mr Tom, Miss Judy, Miss Karen, Dr. Joe). It is a southern tradition. Eventhough we were in Southern Indiana, my neighbors were from Louisiana. The titles with the first name method was a good in between solution between fornal and informal titles.

I am white and my ears (and my sister's) were pierced before age 1. I think it was a way to distinguish that we were girls. (We were bald babies with some wispy blonde strands.) Also, being so young, we don't remember the pain. My mom always has us with simple, conservative earrings, gold or silver hoops or balls on posts. I think parents make decisions on ear piercing based on their own parent's decisions. As for hispanics (I lived in a hispanic neighborhood), wearing jewelry (gold) is a way to demonstrate your wealth. I see many toddlers (boys and girls) with bracelets and necklaces. And infants with earrings. Many South Asians use jewelry in the same way.

I grew up in Indiana where 'Gay' is used as an insult (That is what I think the original poster is talking about). Examples 'That movie was gay.' The speaker did not go to a movie where two men kissed each other. The speaker was using 'gay' to mean : stupid, lame, dumb, boring, etc. I confronted a cousin about this usage. However, if the movie was 'gay themed' then what else would you call it except 'gay?' In that aspect the meaning is descriptive reather than derogatory.
