Q. I think my spouse is cheating and I just want my mind at ease. I don't want to leave not knowing for sure first. My spouse works 7 days a week, doesn't touch me at all in bed, ignores me and the kids. What should I do? We hardly spend time together. Please give me some advice, please be honest and nice? Thank you in advance.
A. He probably is from what you say but there is a remote chance that if he really is working 7 days a week he is too tired to do anything but work including touching you, or more, in bed. The problem with the spy gadgets is that they would do no good if you don't have them in the right places. You can go to a spy store and perhaps get something to trace where his car goes and that may give you a clue or drive by where he works and see if his car is there or not. You might even see how far it is to where he works, drive that yourself and watch the odometer, and then check the odometer to see if he has driven any further than that.
What is the name of the historical fiction book about the bomb?
Q. Me and my dad have been trying to think of the title or author of a book we read years ago. It was historical fiction about a boy during the first world war who lived with his dad. His dad was a scientist working on whatever bomb (atomic or nuclear I can't remember) they were building in New Mexico. At the beginning of the book the boy's friend falls off a building and dies. The boy becomes friends with a kid who's parents are Russian spies... their attack dogs come after the boy at one point and there is a man who gets seriously injured from all the radiation and gives the boy a pair of sunglasses, telling him the bomb is "the sun" and he should stay as far away from it as he can.
Anyone remember reading this book and can give me some clues as to the author or title?

A. You are definitely thinking of "The Gadget" by Paul Zindel, but it's WWII era, not WWI. The boy's name is Stephen, and the book opens with him and his cousin, Jackson, in London. They are up on the roof during a German air raid and Jackson dies when the roof caves in. Stephen goes to live with his father in Los Alamos, and there he befriends a boy named Alexei. Their fathers are both working on the bomb.

What are good stocking stuffer gifts for boys ages 12-14?
Q. Not too expensive, please. I can't afford all those electronic gadgets. Thanks
A. *They have the "lump o' coal" stocking stuffers at many retailers that have different gifts inside. Personally my oldest son collects cars. So what I bought last year was a pack of two that had the hotwheels inside.
*You can buy those small remote control cars ( I mean matchbox size small). Which seems to be a big hit with kids and parents alike b/c they are cheap and are not too space consuming. They can be found at walmart for about 3 or 4 dollars.
*Pack of Batteries.
*Finger Flashlights.
*One of their favorite cartoons or movies on DVD. I know it sounds expensive but relatively not. Walmart had ones like Spiderman 2 etc for 2.96.
*School Supplies( things you were going to have to buy anyway, its an even better idea if they are into drawing etc.) *You could get pencils, pens, colored pencils, etc.
*A Watch.
*Yo-Yo.
*Want to try something different and unique? How about going to a local museum or novelty store, you could buy some space food/drinks,lunar ice candy and funny gifts like talking pens or whoppie cushions.
*If they have a collection of some sort (rock, stamp, etc.) you could buy them something to add to that collection.
*You can buy those handheld games (starting anywhere from a dollar at dollar stores and walmart and on up. )
*Some cool Spy gagets/gear.
*If they like Harry Potter you could buy them some of those harry potter jelly beans in a bag for a dollar. They have many weird and different ones with burn toast flavor and many more. I bought several b/c they are very neat. They even come in a purple bag that can be reused. They also have choclate covered bugs, and Jelly slugs and range from 1.00-3.00.
*Socks.
*A Hat.
*I got Nextar 512 mb Digital MP3 players for 9.99 a few days ago.(TOYS R US)
*What about bath gift set ( or singles ) Like Axe or Bod. You can get body sprays, colognes, deoderent and body washes.
*Gloves.
*A small box of nascar shaped chocolate cars. (you can get their favorite racer if they are into nascar)
*Do they play a sport or an instrument? (get them something related to that, new knee pads etc.)
*If they already have some electronic gagets how about some accesories for it, like new earphones or skins.
*A book.
*A science experiment book.
*Video Games if they already have a system like psp, xbox, playstation etc. You could get them a new game or any one that you think they would enjoy.
*A new toothbrush.
*How about some nostalgic candy assortments like:
Candy Buttons
Candy Cigarettes
Wax Fangs, Bazooka
Jaw Breakers
Mary Janes
Candy Necklace
Cinnamon Fire-Pix
Atomic Fire Balls
Chick-o-stik
Sugar Daddy
Lemon Heads
Boston Baked Beans
Licorice Pipe
Root Beer Barrels
*Wallets
*Electric Toothbrushes
*Electric Razors (if its that time)
*Their Favorite magazine.
*Their Favorite Candies
I go to our Eveything is a dollar store, where I buy a huge stocking for both of my boys (you see these elsewhere for 15 dollars or more). They stand about 2 and a half to 3 feet tall. Not a bad deal for a dollar,and have good quality, they withhold all I pack in them and hanging up. Good luck and I hope this helps. Happy Holidays !
