Ever since I started eating organic foods, exercising and practicing a beauty regimen my skin and overall health is amazing. I can not cease looking at myself in the mirror.

Open Question: She wont pay me for this. Should I charge?

I work part time for a disabled lady who lives close me. I am supposed to be her PA, but she has been asking me to pick up her shopping before I receive to her home. At first it was just a bottle of soy milk and bread etc; but now it is a massive list of specialist vegan food that I have to go to about three different shops to receive and I'm not joking, it takes me about 2 hours (she wants things like Dr Ryan cracked organic hemp seeds, and a certain size water bottle because she has weak wrists etc). I didn't mind doing little extra bits here and there, but it's just too much now. I said to her the other day that I was going to have to be paid for the time I spend shopping, and she looked really offended and surprised. I jokingly said that I wasn't doing it for pleasure and that although we are friends it is also a job and she just couldn't receive her head around it. Should I charge her? I know this sounds horrible, but I have a family, a depressed husband who doesn't work and two other jobs I do from home. I don't have time to be nice and do things for free. Although this lady is disabled, she has money coming in because she is a well known author, so it's not like she has to scrape the barrel from her benefit cheques.

Open Question: Please correct my essay?

Nowadays, climate change is the famous argument in the world but in this essay we want to investigate individual actions to control and limit climate change. Main question is: "is there any action that we can do it alone?" Some people agree with this view about climate change. They believe to social actions and don't trust to personal struggle. They think climate change is a big problem in the world, so every people especially governments must give a world solution and must responsible to do it. On the other hand, most experts disagree with this view. In their opinion everybody can be effective till one person. They think that there are several thing people can do themselves without any government control for example using public transportation instead of private car. Another thing people can do is using organic food. In my view, every person can be useful to control climate change, although governments and expert can be more effective than other people. I think the main role of experts is giving information and describing the roots of climate change then the main role of government is passing suitable laws to omit or control roots for example according to experts reports greenhouse gases are the main reason for climate change, so in this case governments must pass a global law to control CO2 and NOx emission and finally everybody must respect to new environment laws and try to decrease these gases. To sum up, every person can be play effective role to control global warming till with tiny actions, so everybody must notice to her or his daily activities and expert warning.

Open Question: Why do fat people always try to buy "fat free", "healthy" food but still stay fat?

I work at Walmart and a lot, I'd say almost every, of those fat/obese people that store here always try to receive anything that labeled "fat free", "reduce fat" or "healthy". I got a bunch of them asking for fat free butter, fat free whipped cream, sugar free cake mix, etc. Yet they are still extremely overweight. Alternatively, I saw many thinner people who purchase organic, full fat, full sugar, "real" food and they have WONDERFUL abs. Why is that? Note: I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just curious so don't take it wrong.
