Are you the sibling who takes care of your parents? It seems like it comes down to just one, who does all the work. Case in point. This was the obituary of a 94 year old Tampa woman. It read, "She is survived by herson A..J., who loved and cared for her; her daughter, Ninfa, who betrayed her trust; and son Peter, who broke her heart". I take it A.J.'s the one who also wrote the obit. Who's carrying the load in your family?

Do you suffer from nomophobia? That's short for "no mobile phobia". You've got it if you can't stand being away from your phone. Test yourself. Do you get anxious when you don't have your phone? Do you worry about losing it? Do you take your phone to bed? I must confess that, if I leave home without it, I'll turn back around. I wish I weren't so connected. That's why I like to fly. That Airplane Mode setting gives me an excuse for not answering my phone or checking for messages.

Are you tired of your tattoo? Mark Wahlberg wants his gone and he makes his kids watch when he gets his ink removed. He says he wants them to see how painful it is and hopes they stay away from the tattoo artist. How do you now feel about your tat?

What are you sneaking into the movies? The average ticket was $7.93 last year, the highest price ever. Because of that, almost half of all movie goers sneak in their own snacks and drinks, rather than get gouged at the concession stand. I don't know if it's just an urban legend, but I had heard about a woman who actually took in a bucket of KFC. What have you gotten away with?

I don't get the cult of celebrity. If you want to take a bath in the tub Whitney Houston died in, then you're going to have to wait. The Beverly HIlton says that room is booked for the foreseeable future. Someone is even staying in it right now, at $375 a night, and the hotel is getting tons of requests for it. Would you spend the night there?

I need you to settle an argument. Jeff and I were behind a car with vanity plates that read, "tic doc". I thought the driver must be a heart doctor. But Jeff disagreed. He figured it was some chick who repaired watches at a kiosk in Oak Park Mall. Why? The car was a Miata. He says there's no way a doctor, especially a male doctor, would drive a Miata. What do you think?

I loved it when my parents read to me, especially the classic fairy tales. But check this. Two-thirds of parents today won't read the famous classics because they're "too scary". Seriously. On the scary list are "Hansel and Gretel", "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Cinderella". I would agree that reading toddlers an excerpt from "In Cold Blood" would be over the top, but "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"? That's a great cautionary tale about breaking and entering. Are parents being over-protective here?

I'm not condoning his crime, but Iove his optimism. A 300 pound, one-legged drug dealer was pulled over by cops in Jacksonville, Florida. He got out of his SUV and tried to make a run for it. He was actually hopping down the side of the road. The cops didn't even bother chasing him. They just yelled at him to stop, because he didn't stand a chance to get away. He realized they were right and....he stopped. He even looks happy in one of his old mugshots. If he promised to go straight, would you hire him to work for your company?

I don't believe this survey. 27% of people don't know how much their partner earns? Really. Are you telling me you don't know how much your husband or wife makes? Now I get that Kris probably didn't have a cluehow much Kim Kardashian made but I think he's the exception. What about you?

I have to say this is a first. I was asked to wrestle in jello. The invite came from Facebook friend Faith Marie. She wrote, "Would you be interested in jello wrestling this friday night at Aftershock Bar & Grill. The winner gets $100. We're a bunch of amateurs and I'm looking for two more girls." I told her that, while I appreciated her thinking of me, I didn't think it would be wise to skip Sterling's band performance for a round in the jello ring. If you're interested though, here's the link. http://www.facebook.com/SirenzKC I'm curious. Who eats the jello after the wrestling match?

Do you ever keep cash in your bra or socks, while you're wearing them? Apparently enough people do, and that forced one grocery store to post a sign that reads: "We will no longer accept money out of undergarments". Have you tried to pay out of your "bra wallet"?

Have you ever accidentally flipped someone the bird? British rapper M.I.A. gave the middle finger to 111 million people, while performing with Madonna during halftime of the Superbowl. (Is she mad at us because we're not buying her records?) She blamed it on adrenaline and said she didn't mean to to do it. Do you believe her?

If your marriage lasts less than 3 months, should you return the gifts? Kim Kardashian's ex claims she's hoarding the stash, including a Ferrari. Who gets a Ferrrai as a wedding gift? But I digress. He wants to return everything they got but Kim apparently doesn't. Does that mean he has to write all the thank-you notes, even though he didn't get any of the swag?

Why do the relatives of rich people think they deserve their money too? Tracy Morgan's mom is losing her home to foreclosure and she's mad because Tracy won't pay her bills. They've been estranged for years; in fact, they haven't seen each other in over a decade. I don't know what happened there but do you think he owes her anything?

Do you like to vacation with your spouse? My Facebook friend Susan Powers wanted me to ask that question. She travels quite a bit and has noticed that a lot of couples, upon leaving a resort, look unhappy and get into arguments, boarding the bus for the airport. She overheard one husband screaming at his wife, "where did you put my #@! passport"! A new study found that the key to a happy marriage is taking two vacations together every year. Apparently, it's not working for everyone. Do you travel with your spouse or do you have more fun on your own?
