I read an ad in the paper for a job I think I'd really like.  The
problem is that I'm not really qualified.  I don't think I'm so

I'm 40, married for 6 years (2nd marriage) and my wife has 3 kids by
previous relationships, which I support.

far as decent, feminine, well-mannered people go.

HELP !!
This is the first group I have ever made a post on. I have read post

I have been married for a little over 10 years and have 2 kids and for
all practical purposes we have an OK marriage. However, there are
