My wife has several family members who are very lazy and have no ambition. They are on welfare and use everyone around them. I have stood tough to try to protect us from them using us - but little by little my wife gives in to their sob stories. She gives any amount of money they want in cash with no explantion. She buys endless gifts that they demand. Usually they guilt trip her that she doesnt love them if she doesnt do it. I have tried to explain that she is not doing them any favors - that she is enabling them. We also talked about how giving all that we earn away will cause us to never get ahead in life. Through all this - I am starting to look like a bad guy because I dont buy into the guilt. I'm getting the vibe that I'm seen as insensative and heartless. What do you think? What should I do? I'm an honest hardworking guy - I'm finding it hard to be in a world of guilt and using, negative people.
I'm afraid my bleeding heart wife is going to bleed us dry?
End this now. If need be, take her name off the checking account. She will ruin you financially. If she really wants to help these people, she should say no. What she is doing is like buying a drunk booze.@
Reply:If it were me--put a stop to it right now.If your wife respects you and loves you she will respect your wishes.its one thing to help family, you are suppose to do that.but when they start taking advantage thats it STOP.

My bleeding heart plant has yellow on some of the leaves...?
Some of the leaves have yellow discolored areas, almost like ragged yellow stripes. The areas are not raised and there is nothing visible inside or below the leaves causing the change/damage. We just had a couple of dry weeks followed by a few days of heavy rains, is it related? Otherwise the plant, a red variety, and my white one are full and doing great, no discoloration on the white.
Thanks for all serious replies!
My bleeding heart plant has yellow on some of the leaves...?
They are moderately ephemeral, so I think the dry weather made it think about going dormant for a while - packing it up for a few months - which they will do when it gets hot and dry around here. So I would simply cut the yellowed leaves back for looks and it should be fine. You could give it some fertilzer with a little iron in it - the only other thing that comes to mind that would yellow a bleeding heart - but I think that would be uncommon, normally they just like to die back for a few months if the conditions are too dry - next time you move it, place it in a lower, moister part of the yard to reduce this tendency in the future.

My bleeding heart plant is not blooming as much as it used to,?
is there anything I can do to encourage more blooms?

Yeah, you need to divide it. I had one huge one that quit blooming, and I was able to divide in to 3 plants that all have tons of flowers on them now.

Do bleeding heart liberals realize that Terrorists will never be peaceful?
Maybe if the suicide bomber sat down with them!
How would anyone believe that you would be able to have a dialog with people like this?
It goes beyond reason and comprehension to think that there may be a way to resolve this peacefully. Do they think we should all now praise Allah?
Even praising Allah would not be the answer as they look upon us as infidels to be destroyed!
I cannot possibly get into the liberal mindset, to even get an idea as to how they can think the way they do on this war on terror, and call it logic.

Attention Bleeding Heart Liberals! What would you do if the war was being fought on our own soil?
I'm so sick of hearing all these people say how the protest the war but support the troops, that’s bull ****. What would you do if they detonated a nuke on U.S. soil or turned our own streets into a war zone. Would you stand and fight (for once in you life.) or would you or continue to cry for peace as they kill and rape your families? None of you seem to see that eventually its going to come down to us against them. So what are you going to do when they come for us?
Attention Bleeding Heart Liberals! What would you do if the war was being fought on our own soil?
At first they would be in favor of defending ourselves.
After a couple of days they would see that 2 or 3 people had died defending the country, then they would say it's not worth it and call for immediate "redeployment" to Canada.
Then they would start inventing conspiracy theories about how it was Bush that attacked us for oil.

There are very few countries in the world that have the capability to "come after us" and cause us serious harm. Thankfully, most of them are not agressive.
Who is the "they" that can detonate a nuclear bomb on one of our cities? The only advanced nuclear programs are in Russia and North Korea - they have delivery systems that can actually reach American shores. Quite frankly, it would be North Korea I would be worried about - especially with the moron in the white house...who refuses to negotiate with "evil-doers"...
So - why are we not invading the countries who present harm to us.
Bush invaded Iraq for the oil. Al Queda was not in Iraq - bin Laden was not in Iraq - terrorist training camps did not exist in Iraq.
And - as for "us against them" in your little speech - that is what negotiations do. Countries of the world don't have to like each other - but they do have to agree on certain things in order for the world to keep turning. For hundreds of years, our country has negotiated. What kept the "Cold War" from turning hot was negotiations..We simply have a madman who is incapable of negotiation, doesn't have the intelligence or the language skills, doesn't have the interest. He only wants what Iraq has and that is the oilfields.

The issue is over who is the legitimate heir to Mohammad. How do you propose we solve that disagreement? When Saddam threw out the U.N. weapons inspectors, we were justified in invading Iraq. The Congress and the American people supported that action. The time has come to recognize we won and to leave. I've already fought for my country "(for once in my life)" as you put it. I would do it again. How have you served your country?
Reply:Probably what the people of Iraq are doing when invaded by what they see are infidels troddin on sacred land. What would anyone do when their home is invaded. Unfortunately those who last invaded this are dead and their bosses are still on the loose. If we had spent as much money and manpower going after Osama Bin Laden as Saddam Hussein who was no threat to us we would not have to worry about it.
Of course, the one who posted this question is coming to us live from Iraq. Or is this just another chickenhawk finding the war the greatest thing as long as their little behind is not over there? And therefore full of conservative radio hate talk.

He only wants what Iraq has and that is the oilfields.
Reply:While I'm not a liberal, I must say that your question has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on in Iraq and is totally irrelevant.
And if you can't understand the idea of "supporting the troops but not the war," then I can't explain it to you. Maybe if you were in uniform and over there you'd understand, but right now...nope.
Reply:You seem to underestimate our ability to fend off a violent invasion.
WHY ARE OUR BORDERS WIDE OPEN TO BEGIN WITH?

Reply:Liberals...? Fight?
You lost me right there...
Reply:No wonder you have 0% best answers. I honorably served in Vietnam. Some of think the war in Iraq was won when Saddam was deposed and his weapons destroyed. Why can't you understand the conflict between the Shiites and the Sunnis cannot be solved by anyone except the Islamic people? Their dispute is over 800 years old. The issue is over who is the legitimate heir to Mohammad. How do you propose we solve that disagreement? When Saddam threw out the U.N. weapons inspectors, we were justified in invading Iraq. The Congress and the American people supported that action. The time has come to recognize we won and to leave. I've already fought for my country "(for once in my life)" as you put it. I would do it again. How have you served your country?
Reply:Probably what the people of Iraq are doing when invaded by what they see are infidels troddin on sacred land. What would anyone do when their home is invaded. Unfortunately those who last invaded this are dead and their bosses are still on the loose. If we had spent as much money and manpower going after Osama Bin Laden as Saddam Hussein who was no threat to us we would not have to worry about it.
Of course, the one who posted this question is coming to us live from Iraq. Or is this just another chickenhawk finding the war the greatest thing as long as their little behind is not over there? And therefore full of conservative radio hate talk.
