Sanity or no sanity?I am currently unemployed, live with my sister, and am her primary caregiver. She is terminally ill from ovarian cancer. My focus is taking care of her. She is at the point she needs someone to be in the same room with her at all times.

Repair or replace????So my son killed his laptop (hard drive)....It's 18 months old, originally $1000(he purchased it himself). I can't figure out if I should repair it at a cost of between $200-$300. Or just buy a new one for about $500-600. Or another option is to get him a notebook instead but I've heard good and bad things about those. So my AO friends help me out. What's your opinion? He uses the computer for school work and of course for facebook, playing games and downloading music. - Asked by youngfuddyduddy, Female, 36-45, Who Cares? |

Does anybody besides me feel a little down around the holidays?I used to love Thanksgiving, but now find it a bit depressing. Most of the older members of my family have passed on, and their children (my cousins, nieces and nephews) don't think of inviting me to join them, even though they know I am usually home alone that day unless a friend invites me to their home. I also have been dreading Christmas because everyone expects a gift and I just don't have the money. Plus it has become so commercial and not about the birth of Christ at all. Anyone else going through something similar? - Asked by Female, 46-55 |

The Swine Flu VaccinationYesterday my daughter's school sent a slip to sign if I want her to be vaccinated against the swine flu. They also provided info about its side effects. They're terrifying! Besides, it's a relatively new vaccine and I've heard about some death cases after the shots. Please, note that more than few people contracted the flu here in Turkey and 3-4 out of whom died. So my question is, did you have your child vaccinated?

I'm having a hard time forgiving my brotherOur mother recently passed away and I discovered that a few months before she died, my brother had her sign away the majority of her estate to him. I have seen a lawyer. Since she did it during her life -- it is considered a gift. I could go to court, but it would be very expensive with little chance of success. She had brain cancer and I'm sure she did not know what she was signing. But, there is that glimmer of doubt there also. I have always been good to everyone in my family and have a clear conscience. This came as a complete shock to me and I'm extremely hurt. It has destroyed any relationship with my brother for good. My mother always said that everything would be split 50/50 and she had organized her estate for that to happen. Anyway, it is not only him cheating me out of $100,000 or so, but I found out that he sold his house a month ago and divided our mother's things without telling me or letting me help. Friends tell me to let it go -- to forgive him, but I'm having a hard time with that. I never saw this coming -- he and I always had a good relationship until my mom got sick. Forgive him? Or do you have a suggestion for some other form of revenge? - Asked by Female, 46-55, Los Angeles, Executive |
