It's an age-old mindset: if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself! And because your business is your baby, you make all the decisions pertaining to it. You see it as your responsibility to protect. You believe if you are not there, the building might just come crashing down… so you scramble around your office, half possessed.

If this were a psychological disorder, it would be paranoia.

While you have a handful of staff who diligently report for duty, you refuse to delegate work because you cannot trust that they will do a good job, or at least do the job as well as you. In turn, they hesitate to take charge because you will rue the day they were born if they do so. What we end up having here is an overworked boss and very relaxed staff.

Mouthy Middle Schoolers

A Massachusetts mother of two middle schoolers is extremely distressed after finding out that a survey administered in school asked students about their sexual behavior and more specifically about their involvement with oral sex.

Disgraceful, this mom says. She does not believe that this topic should be addressed with her kids without her consent.

Oral sex does appear to have become a more frequently engaged in sexual behavior according to what teens and pre-teens report.

Many of them see it as even less intimate than sexual intercourse. They see it as one step away from going "all the way."

There was a time when "mouthy" meant talking back or being disrespectful. At this point, it appears that it will take on all kinds of new connotations for the younger set.

I'm 60 years old and have had my hair professionally colored for years. I noticed my grow-out is really a pretty gray/silver and my stylist says I am "white" through and through.

Related: Hot Hair- Why Your Brush Matters

My hair is styled in a shoulder length bob and I have NO IDEA how to transition to my natural color. My stylist thinks going natural will age me quite a bit. I am torn...

How does a woman make the transition????

(And if you're 20, 30 or 40-something, do you plan on coloring your hair to cover the gray? For how long?)

In the beginning, just the sight of your partner made your heart pitter-patter. And yet these days ,you're feeling totally flat-lined. What the heck happened? And can you get back that lovin' feeling once the attraction's left the building?

We asked marriage coach Susanne Alexander of Marriage Transformation.

"The initial chemistry between a couple is definitely affected by a wide range of factors," she says. "Our hormones fluctuate, childbirth, child rearing, work, exhaustion, weight variances, illness, money challenges--all the realities of life affect our libidos and interactions."

But though it's natural for attraction to start to fade, admitting it to your spouse may cause detrimental aftereffects.

"It can be a very hurtful and potentially a fatal event in a marriage to hear that our spouse isn't attracted to us anymore," says Alexander. "This is a last resort. Taking multiple

I was flipping through some teen magazines to see what the teens are reading about these days. YIKES! The titles that caught my eye included:

1.Weird Things He Thinks at the Beach.
2.A Little Girl Peed On Me.
3.I Sat in A Puddle of Puke.
4.I Went to Class Without My Pants.
5.I Sneezed on the Principal.
and finally
6.They Said I Smelled Like Rotten Fish.

At this point, I became even more concerned about not only what teens are reading, but also about how rough things have gotten for them since I've been a teen. I worried about many things as a teen. I certainly was not carefree, but I really don't remember being peed on, smelling like rotten fish, or even going to class half-undressed. I do confess that since high school I have had a recurring dream about going to take a test without being prepared.

As warm and humid conditions increase so does the ability for mold growth. Mold grows in damp conditions where it reproduces and sends spores into the air. Inhaling these particles may trigger allergy like symptoms and nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation, according to the CDC.
