The Question:
My wife clips coupons, lots of them. There are so many that they take up every inch of space on our refrigerator, fill up several “junk” drawers in our house and fill up her purse and every nook of our family car. She snips them out of magazines. She sends away through the mail, [...]

Question:
My eldest son is a very honest person, the kind of person who returns cash he’s found on the floor in the mall, but he downloads movies off the Internet. He justifies it by saying most are ones he owns already (but in a different format), or that he’s already seen it in the theatre. [...]

Question:
I attended university more than a decade ago, but fell several credits shy of my engineering degree. My current boss hired me while I was still a student and doesn’t know that I never actually graduated. Now I’m up for a big job with another company and I’ve been asked to submit my resume. I [...]

Question: My husband and I are having a boy in a few months, and my husband wants to have him circumcised. He has a number of reasons, from religious beliefs to aesthetics, and is quite adamant about it. He says it’s safe and our son won’t remember the pain. I’m not so sure. And I [...]

Question:
My husband loves dogs, and has had one since he was a kid. When we married, his beloved pet was right by his side during the ceremony. Then we had kids, and the dog grew older. In addition to being a stay-at-home mom, I became official dog walker, dog taxi driver for vet appointments and [...]

Question:
My mother passed on about two years ago, but before she did, she spoke to my siblings and I individually about what things she’d like us to have. I didn’t take away my inheritance, like her formal china, as it seemed disrespectful to my dad to clear out their house. We still gather there for [...]

Today’s Question:
I live on a street where we all have small driveways, and those with a second car often park on the road out front. It’s a tight squeeze. While backing out of my driveway I recently hit my neighbour’s car. We are good friends, so I didn’t confess that I was the one who [...]

At 7:30 in the Battersea United Church Basement, I’ve been asked to tell twenty minutes of stories (as though you could measure them out and cut them off after so many inches). There’s a great poster which I’d like to post here but I’m not technically able though maybe someone will help. Anyone?
Anyway I’m [...]

The Question:
I’m in my 30s and my circle of mostly artsy friends knows that I am (because of my family) financially set. I have a nice condo and car, but no mortgage or monthly payments. Unfortunately, several of my pals think that means they have carte blanche to walk away from the bill when we [...]

The Question:
My 10-year-old daughter is absolutely terrible at the one sport she absolutely loves: soccer. She doesn’t seem to notice that her coach left her on the bench most of the last season. As we live in a small town, the younger league lets anyone play. But this spring the players will be evaluated for [...]
