I'll admit I'm not ready to get married. I've been with my gf for 9 years now and I think its really time to move on to the next step in my relationship. I've made her wait 9 years and its time for me to do it. She turns 30 next year and the pressure will really begin to mount. My father tells me I need a better paying job and be more financially stable. I'm not buying it I can fill in those gaps as I go. If I do it that way I won't get any more pressure from peers and family to get married and I can deal with debt behind closed doors. To me marriage isnthat hard I had cousins do it at 22 and they've fared fine. I want to give family and friends the illusion that I got it together but I really don't. I'm trying to prove I'm man enough to take the next step in my life and want everyone to be accepting of me. I'm 33 and running out of time. I could never live with myself I was given an ultimatum to get married. 

My girlfriends mom gave me a house key today for their house. I did not ask for this at all. Than my gf asked me can I have a key to your parents house? I flubbed, said no, than I'll think about it. Honestly I'm torn if I say no that comes off as I don't trust you, I say yes behind my parents back I feel guilty. What should I do?

I've wanted an honest opinion out of this. In a marriage if the wife works and the husband works does it emasculate the man? I've heard people say before if your wife works "it's not a marriage you are roommates". My cousins husband does all the work in their household even though he is stressed all the time I admire him for being a strong man and taking one for the team. Yes I'd rather be stressed and angry than emasculated as well as strange as that may sound. What are your opinions?

I just celebrated my fifth year anniversary with my girlfriend. Yesterday her mom posts a Facebook article stating that she's not happy I didn't give her a ring on our 5th. And her comments were terrible one was "she might have to start looking at other choices" and "you're not getting a real commitment from him. I than responded telling her I was upset long story short. Would you ever do what she did? Do I have a right to be pissed off at her?

I'm going to Cancun and I'm currently on the patch. How many can I bring I'm thinking 7 a weeks worth. Do I have to declare these in customs?

I'm traveling to Mexico and I'm on the patch. Is it OK to bring them with me? I hope it's not a problem at customs.

I m going to cancun and I m on the patch can I bring those from the U.S.A to Mexico? Just asking to make sure there is no ban down there.

I'm going to Cancun and I'm on nicotine patches now. Can I bring these into the country from the U.S. I know it's probably fine but never know if it falls under a banned substance or something to declare in customs.

I was thinking for baseball season coming up I want to make a custom made MLB quilt. As far as what I read as long as I don t profit off the logos I should be ok. Is this ok to do? It s just for myself no intentions of selling.

I currently have a keg of bud light on tap. The gauge on the left on my regulator keeps dropping slowly. The gauge where it tells you how much co2 is left in the tank. I went out at 5 turned the shutoff valve off. It continued to decrease. But the pressure in the keg remained the same at 10 psi. So if the pressure stayed constant on the low pressure side does that mean I'm ok or do I have a leak? I turned the psi up to 40 for a moment and heard no air escaping. I've heard that the gauge that tells you how much you have left is useless for the most part. Is this true?

Lately I have had an urge to start dealing drugs to make money. I feel working 2 part time jobs is not enough to get me things that I want. Society says in your late 20s you should own a house, a fancy car and living comfortably. People tell me I will loose everything if I get busted. I feel if I am very smart and careful I will not get busted. I'm just aggrevated being in my late 20s and being stuck being a wage slave. Is it worth a shot?

I have a double tap kegerator and the two faucets are completely stuck. I can't move them at all. What should I do? Is there any solutions to fixing this?

I am having some real Holliday anxiety right now. With everything coming up the stress of who I am going to spend what with is driving me crazy. Thanksgiving next week my girlfriend wants to spend the whole day with me. Her parents are doing there own thing up at her house. Than she keeps telling me I wish your parents could come up here instead of doing their own thing with my moms mother and brothers. I said well it's not that easy when I have other family over there too. I said well if you want to spend the whole day with me I said how about I come over to your parents house earlier in the day and eat than I'll ride you down to my families party than we can spend the whole day together? Who is wrong here me or her?

I was discussing plans for thanksgiving with my girlfriend this year. I said I'll come up to your house around noon or so to celebrate with your family and have dinner at 2 than I'll go to my families thing that will most likely be around 4. Sounding all flustered she said I was hoping to spend the whole day with you. Meaning stay up at my place all day and bail on my family which isn't going to happen. It seems like she doesn't care about spending it with my family too which is unfair but I won't let it happen. I'm thinking she lives like 30 miles or so from my family. I was going to say how about I come up to your place early eat dinner with your parents than follow me to my families place than spend late afternoon with my family which I think is fair as fair gets. Should I be aggrevated about this? She's saying I can tell my mom to invite your parents up as well but it's more complicated than that there is aunts, uncles, cousins etc. it's not like it's only a few of us that can easily combine and move to another dinner. Is my plan fair enough?

I have two corny pin lock kegs for my homebrew and was wondering how to relieve the pressure on the keg while the gas line is hooked on the keg. Earlier I tried to disconnect the line and the pressure blew off the gas valve luckily the beer still flowed out fine so the gas valve is working good. On a video I watched I saw its best to disconnect the gas line before changing the psi but he had a ball lock keg. So, how do I relieve the pressure WITH the gas line on a pinlock keg?

I'm 27 years old and work two part time jobs and simply don't make enough money to buy the finer things in life ( apartment, marriage, and a wedding ring). Also, I have about 6,000 in debt to pay off in credit cards. Ive been toying around with the idea for a while of maybe wanting to sell dope to make some better and EASY money as they all say that it is. It seems like a reasonable risk to take especially if it will help me grow up and become independent. If I made more money I can entertain the idea of buying a house, getting married, and getting a fancy car. Why should I do or not do this?

Recently I've been pondering the idea of selling drugs to make more money. I want to be able to move out on my own and the money I make working two part time jobs isn't going to get it done. I know people at work who do it and never get caught. I hate to say it but it feels like easy money almost too easy. If I'm careful I shouldn't get caught people just make too many mistakes. Why shouldn't i do it?

I have a business management degree and was thinking of going back to school to get my CPA. I have 120 credit hours and have taken all the core business classes. So its probably 10 more classes and the exam and I'm pretty much set. How much is the pay my friend told me 80,000 a year. What are some pros and cons?
