Question by Sarah: Boyfriend admitted being an alcoholic, wants to fix it. What can I do to help?
We live together. I am NOT an alcoholic. We’ve been dating for a little while now, both in our mid-20’s. He cracks open a beer (or a mixed drink if there’s no beer in the house) when he gets home from work and doesn’t stop until bed time. He will have anywhere from 6-8 beers on a week day (or mixed drinks) at home. On the weekends, it’s typically mixed drinks and it’s much more than during the week.

It’s hard for me to “accept” that he is an alcoholic because he doesn’t carry a lot of the traits. He does not “hide” bottles, he has a steady job (doesn’t drink before or during work), he ONLY drinks after work or on the weekends at night time (meaning he’s not drinking in the middle of the night, in the morning, or during the day), he doesn’t get “drunk” during the week often at all, he does not become abusive in any way/shape/form, he does not drink and drive.

Question by Rachel: How to school an academically advanced but mentally behind child?
My son is 3 yrs old.

He is smart and eager to learn. He reads & writes & calculates before he turned 3. And, no, I didn’t give him classes. I only answer his questions. He taught himself phonics by surfing YouTube. He likes to spend time reading his books or read them to me. He is interested in elementary-level stories as well.

However, he’s mentally behind. He can’t recognize thirsty & hunger & tiredness, etc. and when he’s frustrated, he hits his teacher or disturbs others. I’d ask why he did that, he’d say ‘I don’t know’, then I’d give him water, he’d drink a lot, then come back to his normal self. Or I’d take him to bathroom, he’d pee, then calm down.

Question by : What is the best wrinkle cream/serum out there?
Meaningful Beauty? Crem de la maire? Etc. Ok crem de la maire is probably the best so which is the best and also somewhat afffordable. (crem de la maire runs in the thousands for just a tiny tube!) I hear meaningful beauty is a scam. What about Oil of Olay or Avon? Give me your thoughts/opinions!

Best answer:

Answer by Nayi
Keary, this is what I use: Preve by Isabella Pelle. It’s an anti aging lotion, been using it for 3 yrs now, I use it in conjunction with a mild facial cleanser like Olay foaming. Hope this helps.
note: there is no way I would pay, even if I could afford it, thousands of dollars just for a tube of anti aging lotion.
