Yesterday I found out my son has chickenpox. His little face is covered in red spots and it has spread down his neck. I know chickenpox is common and relatively benign but I'm still worried. Do any of you have any advice for kids with chickenpox?

Subway is certainly not healthy food. Wheat is in the top 3 worst foods you can eat, one of those subs contains a lot of wheat! Most of the condiments are not particularly healthy either. Subway is not good for you!

Why does she not go out by herself? Not going out by yourself is not healthy for anyone, we shouldn't be dependent on other people to go out. I wouldn't be able to cope with my girlfriend if she didn't leave the house, it would drive me crazy!

I don't like too many decorations, I think it looks tacky and cheap. I prefer to go with less decorations but nice pieces, like my snowman lights for the fireplace. I don't bother with decorations for Halloween, just a pumpkin will do.

Do you mind me asking what your respective religious beliefs are and how you handle it in your marriage? I think it depends on the individuals, it can cause problems for some couples and it can be fine for others. But marrying someone who is intolerant towards other religions would be stupid.

Is the traffic being caused by building works? The traffic should calm down once the gas station has been built. We have a problem with traffic where I live, especially when the kids come out of school. There are so many women picking up their kids with SUV's, it's a nightmare.

It is a tricky situation. Some men will never be accepted by the kids, especially if they are teenagers. I don't think that should stop you marrying the woman you love if that's what you both want to do. You should try your best to maintain a civil relationship, even if you will never be close.

I agree with Paradon. There is a big difference between having a cordial friendship and remarrying. I think it's great when you can remain civil with your ex and even have a worthwhile friendship, but that doesn't mean remarrying is the right thing to do.

Are you saying people who have affairs should think about getting married? I don't quite get what you are trying to say. My Dad had an affair when I was a young boy and it affected me badly. It destroyed the trust in our relationship.

I am an atheist and my partner is an atheist so we don't have any quarrels over religious differences. We do have different political beliefs, she doesn't really agree with my political beliefs even though she is not very political. I imagine it would cause friction if one wants to go to church...

Most men lose hair because they have a genetic predisposition to lose it. Wearing a hat will not have any affect whatsoever. There is no scientific explanation for hats causing hair loss, it's a myth. You can wear your hat without any worry.

I had a similar experience when I lost my job, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it gave me time to think about what I wanted to do with my life and I decided to become a personal trainer. Doing something you are actually interested in is great!

I'm not a fan of football. The game is too stop and start for my liking and I hate being bombarded with commercials every 5 minutes. I will watch football with my buddies if there is plenty of beer to drink and snacks to eat.

My son plays for his local soccer team. I will not give him advice at this age, he is only 6. I just let him enjoy playing and encourage him. I will save the constructive criticism for when he is older.

I will never spend money I do not have, I don't even own a credit card and I don't intend to own one. However, I am guilty of buying stuff I don't need. I have spent over 500 dollars on clothes in the past few months, I don't really 'need' the clothes but I like wearing nice clothes...
