5 fights this holiday season
#1.) WHY'D YOU DITCH ME AT THAT PARTY? If one of you is more clingy than the other, this question is bound to be asked. Holiday parties don't always involve mutual friends, and if one of you runs off, the other person might feel abandoned.
--So, if you're at a party with just YOUR friends and family, make sure everyone's relaxed and having fun before you leave your date on their own . . . and even then, don't wander far.
#2.) WHY ARE YOU DIFFERENT AROUND YOUR FAMILY? If he's acting strange, he's probably not even aware of it. People often revert back to their childhood personalities when they're around family, so bring it up gently. And DON'T call him a "mama's boy".
#3.) WHY DO WE ALWAYS SPEND THE HOLIDAYS WITH YOUR FAMILY? If you've both ALWAYS spent the holidays at home, there's bound to be a fight. So make sure things even out. Decide which holidays are most important to each of you, and compromise.
--If you try to hog every holiday, he'll end up resenting you . . . and so will his family.
#4.) WHY DO I DO ALL THE SHOPPING? Guys often get to stay in kid mode during the holidays while women shoulder the burden. One reason . . . guys HATE to shop. But don't let him off the hook. Make a list and divvy stuff up, or spend a few hours shopping together online.
#5.) YOU NEVER GET ME THE GIFT I HINTED AT. Guys never know what women are thinking, so why would the holidays be any different? If you want something, don't drop hints. Just TELL him. Getting what you want is better than being surprised by something you hate.

FAVORITE BABY NAME REVEALS PERSONALITY
All American -- Names like Scott, Melissa, Emily, Andrew and Michael fit this title. You're a laid-back, down-to-earth person who speaks your mind but rarely gets ruffled. Your positive nature is a quality you will instill in your child.
Biblical -- Choosing a name like Aaron, Cain, Tabitha, Carmen and Leah is the mark of an honest, diligent person. You also have a strong dash of sentimentality in your makeup. You prize traits such as kindness and you teach your child to be empathetic.
Unisex -- Choosing gender-neutral names like Alex, Dakota, Glen, Kerry or Payton indicates you firmly believe in equal treatment for everyone. Your hope is that a strong name will instill self-confidence in a girl while encouraging creativity in a boy.
Tried and True -- Charles, Carolyn, Mary, Alan and William are traditional monikers that practically guarantee your kid will fit in with others - something your considerate nature desires. Your dedication to family makes you the center of their world.
Geographical -- Arabia, Eden, Houston, Phoenix, Vegas - these are names chosen for what that particular place means to you. You're an adventurous sort, and you're likely to pass your passion for the unknown and sense of wonder to your child.
All the Rage -- Bali, Jaguar, Sahara, Aaliyah and Mahala are trendy names that show you're happy to be leader of the pack. You're a hard-charging person who prizes getting ahead in your career, and you do your best to make your kid ambitious, too.
Namesake -- Choosing the name of one of your loved ones is a way for you to honor that relationship. Traditions are also an important part of your life, and you delight in passing on the homey rites you learned as a child, along with deep family pride.

5 situations and what to do when you fall into them
#1.) YOUR FRIEND'S SPOUSE COMES ONTO YOU. Should you tell your friend? Well, if it happens more than once, you might feel obligated to spill the beans. Just remember, your friend might already know what's up, and may not WANT to confront it.
#2.) YOU GOSSIP ABOUT SOMEONE IN AN E-MAIL, THEN E-MAIL IT TO THE PERSON BY MISTAKE. Start groveling . . . then own up to what you did. Seeing something mean written about you in cold, hard TIMES NEW ROMAN is tough.
#3.) YOUR 12-YEAR-OLD SON IS GETTING VERY SEXY TEXT MESSAGES FROM A GIRL. Do you talk to the girl's parents? . . . YES! . . . But make sure you talk to your son about it first. If you go behind his back, he'll be even angrier.
--And be delicate with the parents too. They probably won't take kindly to hearing naughty things about their innocent little angel.
#4.) A CO-WORKER KEEPS SAYING INAPPROPRIATE THINGS. Make a joke about the inappropriateness of the comment, but if it continues, take the person aside and talk about it. Just make sure you critique the REMARK, not the person.
#5.) YOUR FRIEND ASKS WHAT YOU THINK OF HER NEW BOYFRIEND, AND YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY. Honesty's NOT always the best policy. Often, people ask for your opinion, but really just want your praise and approval.

Rik burns lip acting like John Davidson
Rik talked about how, as a 5th grader, he burned his lip when he was acting like John Davidson - pretending the lamp was a microphone. In honor of this, here's some John Davidson singing a duet with Julie Andrews.
A couple quick tips on when you can't just say "NO"
YOU'RE OFFERED A PROMOTION THAT YOU DON'T WANT.
--TELL YOUR BOSS . . . "I'm flattered, but I'm just not in a situation where I can take on the extra responsibility. Can we talk again if my situation changes?"
--IT WORKS BECAUSE . . . Your boss will understand that your personal life is a priority.
YOU'RE ASKED TO VOLUNTEER AT THE BAKE SALE . . . AGAIN.
--TELL YOUR FRIEND . . . "I just don't have the time this year. Is there any chance one of the other parents can help out?"
--IT WORKS BECAUSE . . . You're clear and honest. If you've already done your fair share, it's okay to let someone else step up.

Trick or Treating tips
Straight from the Kennewick Police Dept.
• CHOOSE bright, flame-retardant costumes or add reflective tape to costumes and candy bags so children are easily seen in the dark. In addition, carry a glow stick or flashlight.
• PLAN a trick-or-treating route in familiar neighborhoods with well-lit streets. Avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods, streets that are isolated, or homes that are poorly lit inside or outside.
• NEVER send young children out alone. They should always be accompanied by a parent or another trusted adult. Older children should always travel in groups.
• ALWAYS walk younger children to the door to receive treats and don’t let children enter a home unless you are with them.
• DISCUSS basic pedestrian safety rules that children should use when walking to and from houses.
• MAKE sure children know their home phone number and address in case you get separated. Teach children how to call 911 in an emergency.
• REMIND children to remain alert and report suspicious incidents to parents and/or law enforcement.
• Wait and children eat their candy after they are home and you can inspect it in a well-lighted place. One way to keep them from eating candy on the go is to feed them a meal or snack beforehand.
• DON’T eat unopened candies and other treats that are in original wrappers and inspect fruit and homemade goodies for anything suspicious. Remind children not to eat everything at once or they’ll be feeling pretty ghoulish for awhile!
Last, parents and children can avoid trick-or-treating trouble entirely by organizing a home or community party as an alternative to “trick-or-treating.”

John: I couldn't tell you my scariest movie of all time is, but I can say that this scene in Superman 3 where the lady turns into a robot was traumatizing for me when I was younger.

Woman arrested for killing online ex-hubby
A 43-year-old woman from Miyazaki, Japan (--in the southern part of the country), learned that her 33-year-old "husband" was planning to divorce her. So, to get revenge . . . she KILLED the guy. Sort of.
"Maple Story", they were married to each other.
And the woman didn't ACTUALLY kill the guy. She just killed off his avatar in the video game. Anyway, on Wednesday, the woman was arrested for illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, because she used the guy's login information to gain access to his "Maple Story" account . . . in order to kill off his character.
According to the police, the woman hasn't been formally charged yet. But if she's convicted, she could be fined up to $5,000 . . . or get FIVE YEARS in prison
