Help! Man Overboard!DEAR SUSAN: I'm 43 and have never been married. At a night class I'm attending, there's a girl who decided to sit next to me. She says she has a boyfriend. I'm trying to find out (from her) whether she's interested in going out with me, but I don't know how. Also, I was recently approached by a girl who wants to date me but is living with a man under her mother's roof. — Glenn S., Long Islan ...

Trivia Bits, May 14Although the words "minestrone" and "minister" may seem unrelated definition-wise, they share the same pedigree. The name of the soup is derived from the Italian for "something served," and "minister" as a verb means "to serve." Speaking of soup, the Indian mulligatawny (literally "pepper water") has nothing at all to do with Mulligan ste ...

Who's To Answer For the Mortgage Mess?As the housing crisis and mortgage mess move off the front pages, some nagging questions remain. Many of those questions revolve around how so many smart people — not the homebuyers, but Wall Streeters — could have been so dumb or blinded by greed to the eventual results of what they were doing. I wonder how they can complain now that they're losing money.
Here are a few of my question ...

Why Did God Make Us?"God made us because he was tired of seeing dinosaurs on the world," says Austin, age 7. "He didn't like the dinosaurs," adds Colton, 6. Are you guys saying we're God's Plan B? Think again.

First Credit Card for a College StudentDear Mary: We have not been very diligent about the upkeep and maintenance of our home. In 14 years, we've not painted the exterior. We feel a need to do so, not only for aesthetic reasons but also because there is probably dry rot and termite damage, as well.

He advertised in the campus housing office, so she must be young, or younger than I am (my boyfriend and I are both in our mid 30s). I have an issue with him having a female roommate. What if we have a fight and he doesn ...

I Tube, You Tube, We All Tube for YouTubeWhen I was in third grade, I was beaten up on the playground for winning the spelling bee.
Back then, I thought of myself as a pretty tough kid, but I didn't have a chance in this particular fight: I was at least an inch shorter and 10 pounds lighter than she was.
Apparently by besting the odds-on favorite — a girl we called "Linda Blotnick" because that was her name, and because w ...
