I am 15 i have been datin for 2 years and my bf is starting to act differently. We go to different skool and i have alot of boys tryin to talk to me. But hes mad that i am gettin thick and developin my woman physique and lookin like a young lady what should i do. Why is he actin like dis.

The ugly head of jealousy has reared itself.He is insecure that you are maturing and catching the eye of other guys.Going to different schools makes it worse for him because he can't keep an eye on you.This is normal behavior for your age group.All of you have feelings you are not used to and you have to go through them to be an adult.These are tough times but also the best of times.Reassure him that you only care for him but you want to be able to have friends without him being upset about it.If he still acts mad and pouts about it to the point you're sick of it,tell him you need to be free to see others.You are too young to be this tied down to an insecure kid.


Men are 10 Cents Each... \n\nWoman are 2 For 5 Cents... \n\nKids Are 10 For a Penny... \n\nyou have to get them all in \n\ndoes'nt matter how you do it...just as long as there is 100 people total and you have Men,Woman and kids.. \n\nand you have to spend the whole dollar

M + W + K = 100\n10M + 2.5W + .1K = 100\n\nYou need a third equation to be able to solve it.  Who your family members are doesn't change depending on what you need them to be.

The way I see it if there is a god, I have really pushed the envelope.\n(my next question what the heck does that mean,"push the envelope" mean?)\nReally if you had said a tenth of what I have said to god, to me personally I would be all over you and I am wiry.\nSo really I am to take it on "faith" that i am offending "god" just because some eighteen year old can "cut and paste" scripture.\nSo my question, if there is a god, does he/she/it really care what I say.

well i think so. if you said to your parents "f_uck you" even if you were like 60 and they were 85 or something they would care, so yeah i think god would and does care


Lets say u put salt on ur skin and u press an ice cube inot it for a min. will it cause frostbite or any injury? please describe the effect it will ahve on the skin. both temporarily and long term.

temporarily it will be cold and if you have sensitive skin it can itch and turn red since salt makes the temperature go wayyy down, long term is bad because the tmeperatures can get to the negative dgrees, you can definitely get frostbite


I am white, 52 and my wife passed away. I am successful financially but feel out of touch. I have not dated in many years but am very active socially: country club, travel, etc.

you are never too old to date!!!!  it keeps you young, healthy and not being alone!!!!


Morally it is wrong...but emotionally it's hard.  As much as you know right from wrong, it's hard when your heart feels something for this person.


im 19 and the woman im seeing is 31. my mum is 41 and i think she might freak out about me bein with a woman so much older. also i think she might wonder why my girlfriend is with me. wot shall i do

If you are serious (really in love) with the woman you are seeing, then eventually your mom will see that and get over her freak out.  It is not for you to worry about what she will think of the woman because she is not dating her-you are.  If you are not in love and have no future plans of staying with this woman, it would probably save you some drama if you just keep it to yourself.


does your head get dizzy and you always think about that person ..

not the head dizzyness but you think a lot about them


. How does energy flow through the biosphere? Where does it come from and how many trophic levels can it pass through

The solar constant for Earth is sc = 1360 W / m2 = 1.36 GW / km2 [1]. Assuming that the radius of the Earth is RE = 6,366 km then the total rate of energy flow (power) on Earth is equal to: \n\n\nPE = sc    RE2  1.7  108 GW (1) \n\nSome of this energy accumulates in the Biosphere, but most of it is radiated back to space in the form of electromagnetic radiation. \n\nThe temperature of the Sun's surface is TS  5800 K. Assuming that the Sun is a black body at temperature TS = 5800 K and that all of the energy impinging on Earth from Sun is radiated back into space in the form of black body radiation it can be shown that the Earth black body temperature TE is [1] : \n\n\nTE = (0.25) 1 / 4  (RS / RSE) 1 / 2  TS  280 K (or  7oC) (2) \n\nwhere: RS  7  108 m - radius of the Sun, RSE  1.5  1011 m - average Sun-Earth distance \n\nThe Sun is the major energy source for Earth. Geothermal energy is comparatively minor, since ice caps formed on the Earth's Poles where the average intensity of the Sun's radiation is low.

this is one of my questions on my poster board and i need help

Actually-\nbecause every living thing is made of atoms (science)\nand every atom is affected gravitationaly by the motion and position of the moon, planets, sun etc. (science)\nthere is more science involved in astrology than you might think.\nExample:\nStart with two people.\nLets say that you (the atomic system that makes you) was concieved or developed in utero when the sun was closest to the earth.\nAnd I was concieved or developed in utero when the Sun was farthest from the earth.\nHear me out.\nYou will be more physically in your element, or operating at optimum performence, so to speak, when the sun is closer than when it is farther away.\nI will be the opposite, I will feel at my optimum best when the sun is farther away.\nThis is basically the same reason that people will feel slightly heavier (not visibly noticable, but still felt) when the sun and moon are somewhat aligned and you are on the side of the earth opposite the sun. This is because the gravitaional forces of the sun and moon combine (attempting to pull you through the earth) with the earths to pull resulting in a gteater force downward towards the earths surface.\n\nOne of the biggest misconceptions is that astrology is not related to science. \n\nI am not an astrologer, nor do I advocate astrology, in fact, most astrologers have not made this connection yet, but I do see the science in planetary location as it relates to atomic systems.\n\nFood for thought.

She also has a 5 year old daughter born in Australia with an Australian father who has contact rights under a Family Law court order. Can the daughter immigrate to America with her mother if she is allowed to leave the country with her mother on hoiday. If her mother recieves citizenship what is the status of her daughter under U.S. law.

Spouse - If you are an American citizen you have two ways to bring your foreign spouse (husband or wife) to the United States to live. They are:\n\n    * Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR1 or CR1)  - An immigrant Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130 is required.\n    * Nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3) - Two petitions are required:\n          o Petition for Alien Relative, Form 1-130; and\n          o Petition for Alien Fiance(e), Form I-129F\n\nIt is important to note that application for the nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3) who married a U.S. citizen must be made and the visa issued in the country where the marriage took place. After visa processing, and the visa is issued, the spouse can travel to the United States to wait for the processing of the immigrant visa case.

I have an old Toshiba laptop, but it keeps freezing up and resetting itself, and it keeps saying Wrong configuration and memory details every time after i fix it!\n\nanyone?

If it is a brand new laptop or if it is under warranty then the easiest solution is to take it back.  \n\nHowever, if you fell it is overheatingcheck to see if all the vents are clear, if not try unblocking them.  Aquick blast of air or vacum cleaner should do the trick.  If still overheating then the CPU cooler fan will be faulty.  Usually when CPU overheats it shuts down.  Not freezes.\n\nFaulty memory seems like a culprit.  Did you change anything  recently? Install software etc??\n\nCheck to see from the Windows Task Manager what processes and programs are running?  Stop unnecessary ones and monitor CPU memory usage.\n\nUse or run Anti Virus program and program like SpyBot or AdAware to see what they report.  whether there are malicious programs running without your knowledge.


Why do you feel being a Goth makes you stand out from society when I see the same eyeliner, black nail polish, same band t's, same HUGE pant legs, etc... How do you stand out as different when all the other kids are doing the same thing?

You have to realize that high school goth has nothing to do with real goth.  For them it's a fad and a fashion.  Real goths don't have a set way of looking.  But I have to agree with you that teen "goths" all look the same.


The events that occurred while he was with his disciples...etc.

- Jesus sweated blood in the garden; He sweated blood in a garden and prayed: "My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt"(Matthew 26:39) His disciple, while Jesus was praying, took a little nap, which did not please Jesus, "Could you not watch one hour with me?" (Matthew 26:40) Jesus then asked his Father again, "My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done." (Matthew 26:42)\n\n- Judus the traitor turns in Jesus for thirty pieces of silver; "Behold, he that will betray me is at hand." (Mark 14:42) "...the thrity pieaces of silver, the prize of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel" (Matthew 27:9)\n\n- The high priests question Jesus, but Jesuses reply was, "I have spoken openly to the world I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews Resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing. Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them; behold, they know what Things I have said."(John 18:19-21)\n \n- Peter denys Jesus for the third time. "And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said:'Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.' And going forth, he wept bitterly."(Matthew 26:75)\n\n- Jesus is delivered up to Pilate by the high priests. "Pilate therefore went out to them, and said:' What accusations do you bring against this man?'"(John 18:29) They replied: "We wouldn't have delivered him up to thee if he wasn't a malefactor"\n\n- Pilate sends Jesus to King Harad. "When he understood that he was of Herod's Jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod. And he questioned him in many words. But he Answered him nothing. And Herod with his army set him at naught, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, amd sent him back to Pilate." (Luke 23:7, 9, 11)\n\n- At the will and pressure of the crowd: "...Pilate took Jesus and scourged him" (John 19:1)\n\n- The crowd then cried out "Away with him!; Away with him!; Crucify Him!" (John 19:5) Pilate then declared: "I am innocent of the blood of this just man" (Matthew 27:24)\n\n- After Jesus was made to carry his cross as long as he could: "They laid hold of one Simon of Cyrene, and they laid the cross on him to carry after Jesus" (Luke 23:26)\n\n- "And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary" (Matthew 27: 33) The place where Jesus was Crucified.\n\n\n\n\nWheew!

Well i'm english and so is my husband, and that is definately NOT how I would describe it ,  More like a toy drill


my boyfriend of 3in half years does nothing i mean he has a job but we also have a son and one on the way. when i ask him to take our son on the weekend he will say yes but then take it back or give me an additude. i feel i need a break.\ni know he loves me but he drives me crazy sometimes. what can i do

Don't let him get away with this.  When he says he will do something, make sure he follows through with it.  Stand up to him, TELL him he will be doing what he said he would do.  For every promise he breaks, take something away.  (IE..golf with the buddies, sex, watching the game, surfing the net, that magazine he likes to pick up every month-my favorite)  Something that he will miss.  Then when he asks for it, just say NO.  You did not do.....  Once you have done this a few times, he will learn that breaking a promise to you is unacceptable.  Good luck.  (and try this, it works wonderful)


i have regular periods i am verey healthy and ive been on the pill for a year and a half now with no complications\nthis week though i had two really heavy days and then my period just stopped on its own. it went from heavy to nothing in a matter of minutes. whats up with that?\ni had a pregnancy scare the last couple of weeks but decided that i wasnt cause my period started. but as its now gone do you think i could be pregnant and it was just a withdrawl bledd or an implantation bleed! please im worried!

Either get a pregnancy test, see what it says and go talk to a doctor, or go to a doctor immediately. S/he'll be able to help you further.


What is the best English saddle to ride a horse on?

It depends what kind of riding you want to do and your horse's and your body shape. If you wanted a brand I would say Wintec. They make all-purpose, dressage, jumping, close contact, ect... All of their saddles are made of synthetic leather so they aren't damaged by the rain and can be cleaned with the hose. They also make synthetic strapping to match the saddles. All of their saddles can be used with the easy change gullet system. To get the instructions and the complete set of gullets it usually cost extra, though not always. This lets you change the width of the saddle to better fit your horse without changing the size of the saddle's seat. They even have wide width to fit bigger breeds of horses. Most Wintec saddles also come with the cair air panel system. Instead of stuffing the bottom of the saddle they fill it with air so it will fit your horse even better and evenly distribute your weight. Between the cair and the gullet system a Wintec saddle will be very comfy for your horse. It fits so well that Wintec only recommends a thin saddle pad to be used with the saddle. The Wintec saddles are also very very comfy for the rider too. Especially the Wintec 2000. I rode in that one a couple times, and I liked it so much that I will be getting one in the near future! :) Yea! The Wintec 2000, (and maybe the other models) come with blocks that Velcro under the flap so you can adjust the amount and position of the knee roll. All in all Wintecs are very high quality and very comfy for both horse and rider, they are even easy maintenance, light weight, and matching bridles, girths, and other strappings are available.


I would like to wear halter tops and so on sometimes. I wear 38C cups and I haven't any children or men friends to wear them down.

Push ups work great. If you cant do them on the floor, try doing them against the wall. Place both hands flat against the wall, making sure that they are paralell to your shoulders. Slowly push down and release making sure to engage your muscles. \n\nAnother good exersice is the chest extention. If you dont belong to a gym that has the machines, just get two dumbells, hold them in each hand. Sit in a chair straight. Bring both your arms up to the level of your breast with your elbows out (kind of like u are doing the funky chicken dance) Then move your arms back toward the small of your back, like you are almost pinching the area between your shoulder blades. Move your arms forward, but take care not to lock your elbows. Do three sets of 10-15 of these.\n\nYou can also try chin ups or french presses. These excersizes may not sound like they work your breast area,  but they tighten up the muscles AROUND the breast area, making them sit up tighter and firmer.


I have always had sensitive nipples. 4 years ago I had a child. I gave her up for adoption, so I never breastfeed or did anything with the milk...But shortly after I stopped lactating, I lose sensitivity in my nipples. They still get hard, but don't feel as sensitive as they used to. I don't know anyone else who has this problem. Any ideas or solutions?

I am not joking\nTry using a 'Cupping' set, these normally ensure nipples can be come hypersensitive, you may also like to experiment to make something else very sensitive too <smiles>\nMessage me if you want the url of the net supplier who sells them


Why can't my life be easy just for one day?


I'm buying tickets for my husband and I want to be on the home dugout side. I just don't know the answer...


recharge battery in the sense the mechanical energy produced by the running bike or car should be converted into electrical energy..

my dear, hope u r big enough to under stand my answer.\nok i appreciate ur idea to conserve all the mechanical energy produced in a car, but the problem is c if the battery can run a car which requires 100w power that means the power delivered by the battery is 100w now that power is exactly sufficient to run the car but if u want to recharge the battery again u need 100w of more power which will increase the load on the same battery which is to be recharged. which is absurd. so my dear it is practically IMPOSSIBLE to manufacture a car of ur kind. hope u got my answer if u dint understand u go through it once again then also if u face problems do not hesitate to write to me ok bye.


And do you think it's true? Does it work on anything and everything? Elaborate.

i've had about 5 hrs sleep lastnight, i'm at work now and going out tonight with the girls. i'm sooo tired just closed my eyes for 15 mins on my break now i feel worse. \n\nany tips to help me wake up and feel engergised because i don't have time to have a nap when i get home from work today. i have to go home shower and get ready and leave.

perhaps you have some face mist? they really do work! if not, just pack along a facial wash in ur bag. Go to the toilet to give it a refreshing wash if you feel like sleeping during the outing with ur girlfriends. although it might look wierd to some, there's nothing wrong to wash your face in the toilets outside but make sure u bring a small towel or you'll be dripping!\n\nStay Awake!\n=]

I grew up religious but it wasn't for me when I got older.  Now, looking in at Christianity from the outside, it seems that some of the meanest, most judgmental and hate filled people in the world are people who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Whatever happened to "love thy neighbor as thyself" and the idea that God is merciful?  It seems that today Christianity is all about supporting "conservative" values, judging people (gays, muslims, black people), and forcing Christianity on people who don't want it.  Why??

Because you are painting with an intolerant brush. All the Christians I meet are the opposite. So how do you explain that? \nAnd also, do not take the Bible out of context. The word for "judge" in that scripture is "condemn to hell". \n\nWe, as Christians, are commanded to judge (as fruit inspectors) each other to make sure we do not behave as you describe--we are not to judge the unbeliever. \n\nI suggest you stop doing the same thing here on Yahoo.


If someone cheats on you, and dogs you out to the fullest do you belive that, that person will what thy deserve in the futher. <someone will do the the same way>

Yes i am a firm believer in you reap what you sow.If a person treats another person in that kind of fashion with a maliceful heart,they will reap that harvest.It might be tomorrow,then again it might be 10 years from now,but that person will.However,you don't wish it upon them,then you would be in the same range as that person.Another thing,people that treat others like that,don't deserve to have you,so go and hold your head up high and move on,don't let it bring you down,even though this can and is hurtful and heartbreaking,you be strong,but most of all,be grateful that the truth is out and you did not bring this fault to your life.Best of wished to you!


Ok, here's more info. It's for a business presentation for a leadership conference. I have to give one 5 min presentation on "Me outside the office" and one on "why I like working for my company". The thing is NO POWERPOINT ALLOWED. It will be judged on creativity.

Can you use electronics at all...or just not Powerpoint, because I'm sure other people will probably use music/video clips and pictures. People today need massive visual stimulation. \n\nMaybe use humorous "illustrations" of your points by using clips from popular songs, t.v. shows, and movies. Make sure that most people would get the reference. \n\nIf you can't use electronic stuff... I did I speech once about Hillary Clinton's life, where I pulled "random" people from the audience (ok, i admit i had told the first 2 people about it before the speech to help along volunteers) and told them they were going to statues of points in Hillary Clinton's life. I told them that I would do the positioning of their hands and stuff... not telling them or the audience what exact position or its relevance to my speech until I got finished. The first person I put in fetal position, the second I had like they were thowing a bridal bouquet over their shoulder, ... and so on. I had the statues stay there in a line, in position, while I proceeded to the next, so that my conclusion would be easy to do.. just point to the statues to demonstrate your points. You could utilize a similiar idea for "me outside the office" by posing people in the activities you do outside of work.

Who encoded us with the ‘software’ to evolve? You have to admit, that unless you install the right software for your computer to ‘learn’ and ‘adapt’, it would not be able to do it on its own. The ‘seed’ must be planted for ‘intelligent’ evolution and not ‘toss and miss’ chaotic ‘trials’ of it. EVERYTHING is PRE-encoded genetically to give all living organism the ‘predisposition’, the ‘capacity’ to survive. Please kindly discuss and share your opinions with civility. This is a FRIENDLY exploration and is not meant by me to prove or disprove anything. Thank you all kindly in advance :)

We re not genetically encoded with a predisposition to evolve, bt a predisposition to survive.\nTherefore any advantageous features that allow survival would be retained...an accumulation of these factors result in evolution, and is done purely on the basis of chance/mutations hence it taking millions of years to occur.\nIt does not prove the existence of God as science doesnt prove anything just supports hypothesis, but supports the evidence of chance and survival of the fittest.\nt\nps if u like u can say how this amazing coincidence that all these "chances" have culminated in striking concordance to produce the human, which has such a minute probability...may have something to do with the wonders of god...if u want ;)

If I burn a CD I bought onto a work PC into a non-shared folder, is this violating fair use for the CD I bought?

No. You are creating a backup copy in case the hard copy is damaged. *wink, wink* Seriously though, as long as you're not making it publicly available I don't think that would be considered copyright infringement.


I was wondering about how benefits work,my husband is disabled and I am the representative payee for our 2 sons who get a benefit check because he is and we are about to separate, will our sons still get benefits? \n\nSS says they want to know if I change addresses and I'm afraid they may lose their benefits if their dad and I split up.Also, how would I change my banking info to be sure  I get the check for the boys instead of my husband getting it, we've already discussed it and he's fine with continuing to support them, we'll be moving out of state and I want to be sure and get it all straight before we go.\n\nDoes anyone know?

If you and your husband split up, you will still be the representative payee for the 2 boys.  Just notify the local SS office and provide them with your bank details and new address.

Just found out that 3 months after my separation with my ex-wife that she borrowed 2,000usd from a Loan Company and never paid them. Now it affects my credit score. Is there a way to take that bad credit from my credit score?

Been there-the law states the debt incurred while still married is both of your responsibilities'.  The only thing you can do is to send in the details to the credit bureaus, and ask them to take the negative off of YOUR SS# record.\nRepeatedly.  You need to get the documentation from the loan company to show you did not apply nor sign the application for the loan.\n\nTHEN, go to Small Claims Court, and try to get the amount assigned to you to be paid.  Include that paperwork with the info you are sending to the credit bureau.

I always hear that the economy is STRONG from the Administration. Is this really the case? Where can I find some real numbers? Is Bush padding the numbers?\n\nSome random thoughts: \n\n1) I live in Colorado where last March we were #1 in forclosures\n\n2) The FED is printing dollars like there is now tomorrow, this can't be good.\n\n3) Gold is at $640+/- per .oz\n\n-- ok... that's it.

America's economy is a house of cards waiting to fall. if HALF the foreign investers cashed in their Treasury notes, the country would  go belly up. We are the largest debtor nation in the world, and lately foreigners have begun curtailing their buying of more Treasury notes as a result.\nI'll believe this current administration about their claims of a robust economy the day AFTER weapons of mass destruction are found in Iraq!

DON'T DO IT!  It is likely a pop-up ad that is either spyware, or will take you to a spot and tell you to buy this special software to fix a non-existent problem.  These pop-up ads are total rip offs.

i'm a diabetic living in the az desert and need a sugar free sports drink to make it through the HOT summers. something like gatorade.

SUGAR-FREE “SPORTS DRINK”\n\n1 packet or container sugar-free drink mix (to make 2 qts)\n1/4 tsp table salt\n4 potassium tablets (99 mg each)\n2 quarts water\n\nTake about 1/4 cup of the water and put in a cup with the potassium tablets. Heat in the microwave until the water gets close to boiling. Stir to dissolve the tablets. Add the salt and stir. \n\nPut the drink mix in a pitcher, add water, and stir until the drink mix is dissolved. Add the salt/potassium solution and mix thoroughly. Chill.\n\nPer 8-oz serving: 5 cal, about 75 mg sodium, 50 mg potassium. ZERO POINTS.\n\nIf you’d like less sodium, use a 1/8-tsp measure, and do one level measure plus 1/2 of another. This will cut the sodium to about 55 mg/serving instead of 75. (FYI, 1/4 tsp of salt contains 590 mg sodium.)\n\nThis drink tastes just fine… it has the characteristic slight saltiness that one associates with the commercial sports drinks, but it’s not objectionable at all.

Ok.\n\nI am from Australia. Soon, i will be filing for an adjustment of status to US resident..then of course..the waiting game..the.. i will have my greencard. \n\nMy wife and i have been talking and i was thinking of joining the Army after i receive residency status. Most of my life i spent driving forklifts and working in a storage environment.\n\nWhat are your experiences with the US Army? Would there be..say..room for people like me?

There's room for anyone in good shape.  I was in recently but was medically discharged before I could go to Iraq unfortunately.\n\nFirst of all, when you talk to the recruiter, ask him about something called the "trail blazer" during basic training.  They change the name occasionally.  It basically involves being able to max out the AIT PT test at day 1.  You want to do that.\n\nSince you're married, you'll probably want to get a non-combat MOS.  (Although I took a combat MOS because I'm married) Try for something along the lines of supply clerk, mechanic, or something of the like.  Don't worry if you aren't trained, they'll teach you everything.  Mortician is a messy and unpleasant job, but if you can handle, it usually has a great signing bonus.  DO NOT GO 88M!  Those are truck drivers.  They have the highest mortality rate in Iraq and they need everyone they can get.  It sound good and easy, but it's not cool.\n\nSigning bonuses are paid after AIT, as much as 6 months later depending on the MOS.  Married people should stay away from counter intelligence since that could keep you away 10 months out of the year, but it's my number one suggestion for single people.\n\nJust so you know, Basic Training is all about messing with your mind.  When you get on base, just turn your personality off for about 3 or 4 months.\n\nInjuries in the Army.  The Army is mean on this one.  If you get injured during anytime you get handed your orders and taken to the airport and the end of AIT, THEY WILL TRY to pass it off as a prior injury, no matter how stupid.  I saw guys getting general discharge on collapsed arches.  Not a pleasant thing, but I did see an honorable on a hernia.\n\nWell, the first few months are hell, after that, it's sweet.  It's good job, you're taken care of, and if you learn well, you have plenty of potential.  If you go to Iraq, you can still get free college there.  And you should take every opportunity for college credits possible.  A degree means eligibility for officer training and a good position in the army.\n\nAnd finally, make sure you fill out the paper work correctly.  Take your time, especially when calculating income.  Being married, I made more than the lieutenant as a PVT.\n\nIt's a good life, but it is the Army and the Army is about war.  For some reason a bunch of kids these days forget that when they sign the papers.  They think about travel and college and easy money and forget that it's about fighting.\n\nWell, I encourage it and wish you luck.


I know that earning up to 80,000US while in NZ means i do not have to pay any US taxes.  However I have a new venture.  A web business based in the US, I want to keep the money in the US and live off of that in NZ.  I assume there is a dual tax agreement so i will not be taxed twice.  If I am taxed in the US how much money can i then bring over to NZ without NZ taxing me?  For example can I bring over 50,000NZ a year 80,000NZ?  That's if it has already been taxed in the US..  Thanks!!

You should consult a tax professional in NZ for the specifics.  I would assume that if you pay all the taxes due in the US, you shouldn't have to pay anything over there.  INCOME tax should be paid where you make the income, which is a business in the states.  NZ shouldn't be able to tough it.


she's reslly upset! her bf hurt her by going out with other girls and cheating on her! i really want to cheer her up, but i dont know how! i'm a girl...and shes a girl....but i dont feel that way a bout her, we r just friends! she was helping me snag a guy and it almost worked until she completely forgot about her own relationship! now i feel bad cuz it's all my fault! how can i help!?

It is not your fault that she was ignoring her boyfriend and going out with you to trap guys.  Odds are he probably thought that she was trying to get another one for herself.\n\nShe should be taking care of business at home instead of carousing about . . . trolling for some men.  If she is upset . . . you look for another guy for her . . . and your new bf would get jealous and leave you . . . and repeat and wash.

The US is currently rated #4 in the FIFA rankings behind only Brazil, Chech & Netherlands. Do they really deserve to be so highly ranked....I know they had a good string of games a couple months ago but recently they lost to Germany 4-1 (although it was in Germany...but that will be the World Cup location so that shouldn't matter) and tied 1-1 to Jamaica. \n\nAre the people in FIFA stupid or are they thinking that the US is resting their for sure starters in order to see who of the bubble people they want to keep?

Well for starters, the US (as stated before) played HOME MATCHES against teams like Panama, Jamaica, the Bahamas, etc.  So its easy picken's for them.  Just look at their pathetic 1-0 win over Poland in germany (which i was at) and the terrible 1-1 draw AT Scotland.  They cannot play away a/g top Euro competition.  They get points from home games versus easy regional teams, thats it.  Its the FIFA system thats flawed.  They WILL NOT have a good world cup, i guarantee it, they should be ranked 15 at best.\n\nAnd by the way, the MLS doesnt "suck", its only 10 years old, give it some time.

sachin tendulakar first 100 made against who & where

He went to Sharadashram Vidyamandir School where he started his cricketing career under coach Ramakant Achrekar. While at school, he was involved in a mammoth 664 run partnership in a Harris Shield game with friend and team mate Vinod Kambli. In 1988/1989, he scored 100 not-out in his first first-class match, for Bombay against Gujarat. At 15 years and 232 days he was the youngest to score a century on debut.\n\nSachin played his first international match against Pakistan in Karachi in 1989, facing the likes of Wasim Akram, Imran Khan, Abdul Qadir, and Waqar Younis. He made just 15 runs, being bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match. It was an inauspicious start, but Tendulkar followed it up with his maiden Test fifty a few days later at Faisalabad. His One-day International (ODI) debut on December 18 was equally disappointing, where he was dismissed without scoring a run, again by Waqar Younis. The series was followed by a non-descript tour of New Zealand in which he fell for 88 in a Test match, John Wright, who would later coach India, pouching the catch that prevented Tendulkar from becoming the youngest centurion in Test cricket. The long anticipated maiden Test century came in England's tour in 1990 but the other scores were not remarkable. Tendulkar truly came into his own in the 1991-1992 tour of Australia that included a brilliant century on the fast and bouncy track at Perth. He has been Man of the Match 11 times in Test matches and Man of the Series twice, both times in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.\n\nHis first ODI century came on September 9, 1994 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colombo. It had taken Tendulkar 79 ODIs to score a century.\n\nSachin Tendulkar is the only player to score a century while making his Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy debut


Now-a-days I say the old south has not changed its slave,racist mentality ways...only newer and newer outsiders come into the south all the time.

I think the confederate flag represents a terrible part of america's history and those who fly the stars and bars should be looked at as traitors.  The confederacy stood for slavery yes, but more importantly it stood for a government that ceceeded from the United States to become their own country.

How do I declare the variables to convert inches to centimeters and declare the constant 2.54 for the converstion factor?

You could try and make a public const in the general declartions area ( I think its still called that ) , something like so\n\nPublic const convert = 2.54\n\nIm not sure if it will require quotes around it or not and you may have to also assign it afterwards ( Not sure on that either, I havent really used vb.net much.\n\nSo it may be \n\nPublic const convert\n\nconvert = 2.54\n\nor it could just be a simple matter of putting quotes around it ie\n\nPublic const convert = "2.54"\n\nLet me know what works :)

His lying. When I realized I was willing to share my heart and soul and he was still lying. I remember the moment well. I knew of information he didn't know I had. As we talked, I prayed in my head "Please don't let him this time Please!" He lied again and I had proof of it. Falling out of love felt like it did when I fell in. The moment went just as fast as it came.  I don't regret having had loved him. I do regret the time invested in a relationship with someone who lie just for the hell of it.  The postitive side of it is, when meeting new people I am not apprenhensive about things I want to know about.  If they feel I am invading their space, I chalk it up to they are wasting my time.


So is there something I could do or something I could take.

You should really get a good vitamin, If you are taking a vitamin you need to get one that works. The reason your body is so tired all the time is because your body isnt getting what it need to be NOT tired. The Human Body is not supposed to be tired. Because of the foods we eat these day, we are not getting the nutrient because the food lacks the vital minerals and nutrients need for normal healthy life. You may need to change your diet as well.If your eating too much your body expends a lot of energy to digest it, then you get tired. If you eat too little your body doesn't have the energy to do everyday functions properly.\nCheck out this website below it talks about this in greater detail and has a great vitamin called Vibe.\nP.S. you shouldn't take a vitamin in pill form, it has glues and other binders to keep in the shape it in and you get very little nutrients from it because ot that.\nEmail me if you have other questions.\n\nhttp://www.enivamembers.com/?id=brandon

There is this girl I like and talk to.  I told her how I feel but I don't no how she feels.

Ask.Talking in a relationship is very important. Communication. So you find out if somebody likes you by talking to them. Don't worry most people are scared to talk to people that they don't know.


Just this morning when I opened up my Express mail, it pops up with an error message asking for my password. It has NEVER asked me for that before as the "save password to this computer" was checked. It had some password in there (of course I can't read it as it is just black dots) but I do not remember what it is or even that I put one in there when I established this email 2 years ago. How do I satisfy this screen that is asking me for the password that I don't know? Please help. Thank you.

This happens from time to time. Close out Outlook then reopen and try again. Also go to accounts and properties then click on servers. Here put a check mark just below outgoing mail server then click apply. Worse comes to worse just download a free program called SIW this will show you your password.


I have been "seeing" this guy for many months now. It was a friendship turned relationship. Neither of us have had many long  gf/bf, cause we are picky. Things between us have been moving forward. We act like we are dating, and everyone thinks we are. He has told other people that he likes me alot, and he knows i like him from other people. We both know that there are no other guys/girls we are seeing either. He just hasn't ever brought up that fact he likes me, or anything of the sort. The chemistry between us is crazy, but i'm just waiting for him to tell me he likes me or say we are dating. We both are not the type to use each other just for a hook up either, so thats not the case. Things are great with us now, and we have so much fun together, but i just want to move on like know we are "dating" or what not. We have never even kissed. Should i be worried that he hasn't brought up the topic of "us" or should i be happy its going slow? Should i just let things happen?

Straight up ask him something like this. "How do you feel about us being boyfriend and girlfriend"


I have a week supraspinatus that I am having trouble localizing to excercise because my trap has been doing the work for 14 years.  Anyone have any suggestions on what position I could use to isolate this muscle?  This is post shoulder surgery for labrum fracture.  Blogg site: shoulder.eponym.com/blogg

well i have more questions than answers so i'll get those out of the way first.  1. why has your trap been doing all the work  2. there's no way it could justttt be your supraspinatus that's weak or irritated or overworked like your trap. how is your infraspinatus? how is your neck? how are the scm, scalenes,etc? your supraspinatus being weak would affect your shoulder and vice versa, but you don't say which came first, or when. when was your surgery?\n\nokay. i asked all that because i don't care for bloggs, but i might go to yours, maybe. \nyou need to get your trapezius muscle to relax and "cease and desist"  it's been on overload for too long and is in that cycle.  A good massage therapist who is good with chronic pain and soft tissue injury work, neuromuscular therapy (trigger points are just a part of the work, but a huge part if done correctly. not every knot is a trigger gggrrrrrrrr point).  Ask the therapist how they would work on the trap, would they unravel, would they spress? would they pinch whole and then unravel--which can make you see crosseyed if it's a major trigger point, the pain shoots through eyeballs and jaw, depending on the trp. ask if they work the scalenes, then kindly ask where the scalenes are exactly and know, yourself, ahead of time that there are three parts, one attaches to the first rib,andthey attach directly on neck vertabrae, scm stands for Sterno Cleido Mastoid (all one word, no capitals--it's really just all the attachment point names). it's the muscle that if you make a grimace in the mirror stand out on both sides from behnd your ears to your inner end clavicle. it's got two heads. if you're going to have your traps workd, then you have to have your infraspinatus, lats, and multifidi (little muscles, close to the spine that cross other little muscles aaaaaand blah.) make sure you get the occipitals and ghost muscles worked --the traps, as you know, connect like a stingray's body, every where from shoulder blade ends, top o' the neck at the occiput, and then tapers down to t12 ish. superficial muscle but important. so have it well worked, then get to the supraspinatus and do some gentle massage, see how it stands and do whatever it is you do toget it strong and a working part of the system again. \nit just sounds like it's been a long time since it worked so a lot of muscles would be involved and probably some structural issues,  a DC or osteo could help. \nadios and good luck to you. it sounds like it's been painful, and this will help you get relief.

Don't be mean...My little sister wanted me to post this question...

Yes, if you're born in Africa you're African American. That's why some people prefer to be called black because African American classifies anyone born in Africa.


i originally have pink nipples, but today, i looked myself at the mirror and saw my nipple are turning brownish. i'm just curious. is it a temporarily thing or i would never get my pink nipples back?

maybe you got too much of a tan, but if its seriously bothering you go to the doc


There is this girl in my school who is so annoying. On my third day of school she sent me a note saying im a loner and a freak when she didnt even give me a chance to introduce myself! Is it me or is she mental. Shes one of the "popular"(but dumb, in the way i see it) girls. Need info NOW!

I wasn't popular in High School. They called me all kinds of names. But they can't but notice that I ended up better off then they did, Mush Allah. I got out of High School, went to College, and had a Gorgeous Kuwaiti Guy fall in love with me (better looking then any guy I went to school with). I have women making fun of me in Kuwait too, because they are jealous of my marriage too. Calling me retarded, even though I finished College and she didn't even finish High School. After what I went though in High School, I just laughed. We have been married for over 12 years now. He is wonderful, caring, good father and more. Mush Allah, our daughter is Beautiful. I love his family as my own, and he feels the same about mine. I wouldn't trade my life for anyone I went to school with.\n\nYou have more going for you then those girls do. She will realize how dumb she is acting after she gets out of High School. Having 2 perspective of life is better then one, just ask my husband.\n\nI know it doesn't seem like it now, but High School and below are temporary and life doesn't really began until after.\n\nOh, you asked what to do about her. Well it is hard, but just ignore her. Talking to her just makes it worse. Learn from her though, see how not to act.


The complete details of your question are in the site i mentioned below. Thank You.

It was on the OLN TV station.  We missed it and have not been able to find out the results.

I believe it was Austin Meier.  The following link will give all the results.

Jesus seems like he was a wonderful, beautiful person. He was kind and non-judgemental. He walked with prostitutes and the poor, all of the lowest levels of society. He loved uncontidionally. Why, why, why is EVERY Christian I have gotten to know (I do NOT use the word "every" lightly, I literally mean every single last one), judgemental and they feel above everyone else. I would think being in awe of Jesus would make someone humble and kind. But I see people that go to church once a week and they think they know everything. They make fun of gay people, people in other religions. I was under the impression that all of us were sinners in the eyes of God. If that's true, any Christian who has ever felt jealous or sinned in every other way is equal in the eyes of God to a pagan homosexual (or whatever). I heard some quote about how Jesus says all of our debt to God is equal. Why are all the Christians I get to know so unlike the savior they adore?

I reckon that it's only the people you KNOW are christian that are like this. The LOUD christians who shout about their faith like it's some sort of medal to be proud of.\n\nThe quiet, humble Christians (and I'm now using the capital "C") have a personal relationship with God and don't need to shout out about it. They do exist, and you probably meet them every day, you just don't recognise them as Christian. But you might know them by their actions, rather than their words.


Come on people define your faith;\n\nHave heard that some Christians no longer believe that Jesus is the son of God, or God incarnet on earth; if people do not believe this then can they still consider themselves as Christian?

Christians are people that believe in and worship God the Father and his son Jesus Christ. \n\nI look at this way, if you want to call yourself a Christian go right ahead my friend, that is your right. Call yourself whatever it is you want to call yourself. :)


It is my understanding that the words are not in the constitution.

The phrase itself was from a letter to the Danbury Baptists by President Jefferson, in response to their worries that their state would give a rival Christian sect tax money and special privileges by law.  He told them not to worry, because the First Amendment was designed to form a wall of separation between chuch and state.

For example, i found this anti-perspirant that said it expired in augest of 2004, would i still be able to use it?

You will be able to use it after the expiration date, No problem.\nBut if you use it after 10 or 20 months that will be the problem...\nPlz choose me as best answer!!


I just read a book called "The Blood of Abraham" by Jimmy Carter. It has insight into the problem and possible solutions. There are chapters regarding the other nations involved views: Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Jordon, Syria, Libya, USA, etc...Politics usually bore me but I found the book interesting and informative.\nYou can get it at the library.


I get a pain in the right (my right) side of my chest every time I burp. It feels like somthing is pressing on somthing else thus causing pain. This pain is just below my breast.. Silly answers not appreiciated.

Sounds  like gas pains due to the pressure.  After you burp I bet the pain is gone!


I see Crespo, not help the team much. Frank Lampard , midfielder also can score 20 goals this season. Will they find a new striker to get along with Drogba?

Why not.\n\nThey have the money.\nThey can keep him on the bench that way no one else can have him.\n\nChelsea is cancer.\nWhy Ballack or anyone else would want to play for Chelsea (sit on the bench) is beyond me. I'd rather start first team football with Aston Villa.


it's sort of like sho-beam, but the sho has a little bit of a z sound.


The parking lot is paved and edged with concrete so there is no dirt border. It's been raining for a couple of days but I cannot believe the worms can move that fast. They are the common earthworm. How did they all get out? Why would they pick a parking lot? Most of them were dead.

earthworms, which generally live in the soil are unable to properly respire when the soil becomes too concentrated with water.  since water has 1/10 the amount of oxygen that air has, the worms must come to the surface, which in your case, is the concrete parking lot.  they are able to locomote by peristalsis (muscle movements that run around their bodies and well as longitudinally)


This was told to me by a physics student. Can it be true?

It's a bit of a philosophical question.  The number of moves is roughly 10^134 (ten to the power of 134).  Since the universe is basically infinite, and 10^134 is definately fininite, then nope it's not true.  \nAnother approach is to consider that there are roughly between 10^12 or 10^13 cells in every human on the planet.  Roughly 12 persons contain as many cells as there are moves in chess.  That *cells* not atoms.  Each cell can be millions of atoms, so as you can see chess moves are no where near the number of atoms in even a dozen human beings!


Guys have you ever had sex with a lady that used the female condom?  If so how does the feeling compare with using a male condom?

Actually gay men use this too. More pleasurable for the guy as you are still uncovered. Probably less sensation for the woman/man(bottom) And have heard it compared to F***ing a ziplock bag. But you can use oil based lubes as opposed to stictly water or silicone based with latex condoms.


I need to take the GRE to get into graduate school. How hard is it? What do I need to study? Are there any ways you can suggest to prepare other than the Kaplan study guides (I already have those)?

Just grab a guide.  If you were up on your academics during your undergraduate studies it will be a breeze.  The math section is actually (from a math standpoint) at a lower level than the math they expected you to know on the SAT.  The "reading" sections should also not give you much problems, they just want you to demonstrate that you have a college level vocabulary, and can read and analyse readings at a high level.\n\nNow the subject GRE's can be absolutely brutal, but the general GRE is not that rough.

I got bit by a tick 4-5 days ago now it is red in that area. I also have the same type mark elsewhere I think it is a tick bite also. The first one I saw the tick and pulled it out. It was a very tiny tick. The other spot I think he is buried in to where I cant see him.

Not all ticks are carriers of lyme disease.  It depends on where you live.  I live in Missouri and got bit by a tick.  Ten days later I got really sick and almost died.  The doctors had no clue what was wrong with me.  Then some intern goes "Maybe it's a tick bite."  They thought I had the flu and a UTI at first.  Ten days after the tick bite I felt like I had the worst flu ever.  I felt like death.  Every inch of my body hurt like heck.  And I couldn't figure out why.  It was the middle of summer, why would I have the flu?  Best thing to do is to go to the doc before the ten days are up (ASAP) and get some meds to prevent the painful attack that is coming.


I am deviding other interface in logical interface, I want 256 kbps on each interface.

easy, Use traffic shaping.  You create a access list with the traffic you want to limit.  turn on the traffic shaping command and refrence the acl.\n\nI warn you though.  If this is router is under heavy load your processor may not handle it.\n\nThats what i did.  cisco has many docs on traffic shaping and example configs.


got an email that i won 5,500,000.lbs from england on a msword office promotion.Ten people were selected.and they gave some names.?? And I am suppose to use an em add to contact them to pay up front fees for them to send a cashiers check to me.What?  THANK YOU

This is basically a lottery scam.\nYou end up paying for the fees with a fake cashiers check.\nThese can be faked as well as a personal check but make people feel safer because they are "cashiers check"\n\nYou cannot have an international lottery as the gambling laws differ in every country.\nThe scammers say it is "International" so as to cover every country.\nLotterys work like this:\n1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc\nThe lottery company now has 10,000\n\n2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)\n\nScams work like this:\n-1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)\n\n0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)\n\n2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)\n\n3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)\n\n4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )\n\n5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com\nEverything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)\n\nThe moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is\n\n\n\nThe money orders will be fake....very good fakes.\nYou can hand them to a 25yr old bank teller and they wont know the difference.\nThe checks go in your account.\nYour bank "HONOURS" the checks\nYou send the money to the scammer in Nigeria\nThe bank sends the check back to the issuing bank (can take up to 6 months)\nThe Issueing bank refuses to "CLEAR" the check.\nYour bank says"Hey...you put in a fake check ....wheres the money?"\nYou say" I sent it to [insert scammers name here] by western union money transfer(untracable) to that lovely man/woman/both in Nigeria"\nThe bank says"??? you robbed your own bank???"\nYou plead Ignorance..."Im innocent" etc\nThey say "But YOU put the check in our bank...." and you do jail time for bank fraud\n\n"419" scammers....dont ya love 'em\nwww.fraudwatchers.org\nwww.scamomatic.com


house is up for sale constantly having unwanted visitors and my rent wasn't even due till 15th.  have had plenty of repairs not done what can I do

It depends on where you live; each state has different renters laws and i suggest you go online and learn them. Typically, you should have signed a lease which is legally binding and will be your best friend or your worst nightmare.  Usually in a lease there is a specific date which is montly that is outlined for the rent being due and then an outline of late fees depending on the number of days you are late. In mostleases you have 3 days to get your rent in before it's considered late, and this also varies by the leasor who created the lease.  After that point the leasor is usually able to assign late fees to the lesee however there usually is not room until the rent is more then 30 days and in most places 60-90 days past due in which a landlord can take you to small claims court. \nYOu should also have something listed in your lease regarding visitors. Most leasors are required to give the lesee at least 24 hours notice for any visitors or before entering the property. YOu should not have people just showing up w/out you being notified 24 hours in advance, that should be in your lease.  In most places your landlord has a limited amount of time to fix any repairs needed as well, some it's within 24 hours, some it's w/in a week, depends on the location and your lease! \n\nI would really look at your lease and make sure you're covered. That's really all you can do at this point. It's your word against theirs... so i would make sure you have documented what you called to have repaired and when it did or did not get fixed. I would have your rent receipts handy and your lease handy stating the date it's due. Good Luck


Some surveys say 1 rat per person and others say 10

(m)\n\nEstimates on the city's rat population vary widely from about 8 million - or one per citizen - to more than 50 million. Charles Kourbage, owner of Kingsway Exterminating in Brooklyn, guessed there are seven rats per New Yorker, or as many as 56 million.\n\nIn recent years, rodent complaints to the city's Health Department have fluctuated from about 16,400 in fiscal year 2000 up to 19,400 in 2001 and back down to 16,200 in 2002. \n\nInspections have risen to 61,000 in 2002 from 42,000 in 2000, and exterminations are up to 71,000 in 2002 from 51,000 in 2000. \n\n"There have been a lot of improvements that have basically been reflected on the streets," said James Gibson, assistant commissioner for veterinary and pest control services.

In the problem (3x-1)^(4/3) = 16, the answer comes out to be -7/3 AND 3.  This is because you take both sides to the power of 3/4 and get 3x-1 = 16^(3/4). But, 16^(3/4), for some reason that I can't understand equals + and - 8.  Can someone please explain.  Also, is the answer to 16^(3/4), given as a single question without an equation also + and -8?  Thanks

16^(3/4) means take a fourth root of 16, and then cube it.  Anytime you take an even root (square root, fourth root, etc.), you always have +/- answers.\n\nConsider that the square root of 4 is +/- 2.  That makes sense because if you square 2, it is 4, and if you square -2, it's 4 as well.\n\nNow consider the fourth root of 16.  That gives you +/- 2.  If you reverse it, you'll see it makes sense: 2^4 = 2*2*2*2 = 16, and (-2)^4 = (-2)(-2)(-2)(-2) = 16, since all the negatives end up cancelling out.\n\nSo for your original problem,\n\n(3x-1)^(4/3) = 16\n3x - 1 = 16^(3/4)\n3x - 1 = +/- 8\n3x = 1 +/- 8\nx = (1 +/- 8)/3\n= 3 or -7/3\n\nAnd if you plug in either value into your original equation, it works out.


If the Chicago Cubs won the 2006 World Series, would you purchase merchandise that said "Chicago Cubs 2006 World Series Champions?"\n\nI would purchase it because it would be a popular baseball seller and I think it would sell all over the world and so much merchandise would have to be produced.

Absolutely, I would love to see the Cubs win the WS.  If they did I would buy as much stuff as I could afford, because they wouldn't likely repeat in my lifetime.

I need a financial report for walmart(2006).

I always order the paper copies from PRARS, but I also listed a website that has them available online.  You also probably can get it from the Walmart website.  However, the latest report may be a quarterly report, or it may be the 2005 annual report.  It is very likely that the 2006 annual report hasn't been issued yet.  I don't recall when their fiscal year ends.\n\nBest of luck to you.


your answer is 255.  I believe it works something like this (look at the one integer gaps), remove them at one integer spaces (2,4) (3, 15) (4,16) what do these have in common?  Whats the next chain to follow?  4 is divisible by 2, step up 15 is divisible by 3, step up 16 is divisible by 4 step up and the next number divisible must be whatever is divisible by 15, the only answer which is given and fits that description is D 255.  I hope you can follow the logic :)  I dont see any relation where three numbers can be sequenced in relation here.  I know that next you could say 224 is divisible by 16 but there is nothing left after that for a third answer to form a chain with what is left to choose from (19 and 20)  Note also that by using this method the number which divides into 255 by 15 is in fact 17 to continue your string 15,16,17.


i love my boyfriend, but hes not the most romantical/ intimate guy i know.the thing is, i love him not becuase of that but because of how amazing he is and how much he means to me i never really thought about the intimate part. is there any way that i can make him more romantical? or should i just go with the flow and see what happens?helpppp =(

If this is even a question ..... you're with the wrong one

I have had a UTI for a week now and am on medication for it but i was wondering if there were effects to having sex with my partner. Should i wait?

I had an UTI before. wait it out. if you have sex it will very much so prolong your infection and cause it to be more irritable. it will be painful and less enjoyable. believe me, it's not worth it. besides, sex is better with anticipation. \n\nalso, to help ease your UTI try drinking cranberry juice!


i feel so close to him because we're just good friends. i feel mixed up with him. i have a feeling like my heart's about to float everytime i think about him. what can i do?

I have been in that place years ago.  I felt something special with a good friend of mine and it was confusing.  I got the courage to tell him directly how I felt about being something more than a friend but I was rejected.  I cannot say that it is not painful but at least the situation was clear for me and we are able to keep our friendship.  Actually, he is one of my best friends now.  I suggest that you tell him directly but you have to be prepared that he may not be able to give you a positive answer and you can live with that!  Anyway, if you continue to hide your feelings, it may be quite painful and confusing!  Good Luck!


I go on there hoping to get involved with discussions about anything but Christianity and there it is people quoting scriptures and saying how in "Matthew whatever, verse whatever" the bible said come unto and you will be saved! I feel as if it is a constant bible session there with people trying to recruit or something. \n\nBTW if anyone quotes scriptures at me or tells me about Jesus/God's divine power I shall delete this question. I'm not interested in hearing it. I just want an answer to the question

The Christians are a large group and even though they teach tolerance most have none, They did to religion what the white man did to native americans, at least they are trying. \n\nWell this ought to get things rolling lol! \n\nPagans unite! \n\nI don't need the 10 points I had fun answering this one, gotta love a dry sense of humor.


afther 16 years she got up and left with out saying a word son and me still rcrachen our heads

Sometimes you miss the clues that lead up to. Try talking to her when she gets in touch with you. Because more than likely she will.


I've taken money out of my 401k,went to credit councilors,remortgaged my house,tried bancruptcy was denied. I was told I should default on my loans and not support my 2 sons in college. My other son was going to sylvan learning center because of learning difficulties and I was told not to send him there I should be paying off my debt first. So now I've settled my credit cards off they sent me 1099c to declare on my taxes and now I have to pay $4000 which I don't have.

Yes.  You can scream, throw things, and stomp about the house.  Then you have to use the 1099C on your tax return and see what the actual result is.  If you owe money that you don't have, work out a payment plan with the IRS.  Difficult, but it can be done.


Does anyone out here actually believe that if you are an organ donor that paramedics and EMTs will not use the same heroic measures to save your life as they would for a non-organ donor?  I just had this argument with a co-worker.  Like the EMT will pull up to the scene of an accident and ask to see if you are a donor BEFORE they administer assistance???  Come on.  I find that almost IMPOSSIBLE to believe!  Ok Friends, I am looking for your opinions here!!!

I am a EMT and I am to use CPR/AED measures on anyone in distress, no matter whether they are an organ donor or not.  We do not know anything about organ donation until they are presumed dead and the family makes the final decision.  Even though some have requested to be organ donors, it is up to the family at the final minute.  We are required to help all those in distress.

I'm studying for my A-levels, but I cant fix the reactions in my head!

I made flashcards while studying organic chemistry.  Break all the reactions down into the different types of reactions, then make a flashcard for each reaction within all of the types of reactions.  If you want to, you could leave certain details out, like solvents or conditions, and put them on the back to make sure you are remembering them.  I would also write for what cases the reactions would work on each card (eg. primary and secondary alcohols only).  It might be a lot of work to write them out, but it worked for me.  Also, just writing them out will probably help too.  Good luck!!

you may seem to think this is a stupid question but i really want to know. i dont even want to swear when im close to my girl because im afraid it will ofend her in some way . i saw guys hitting there girl but i dont even want to hurt mine in anyway that y im askin this question

kick the guys ass for hitting his girl!!! We don't like it and the only reason she puts up with it is bc she either thinks that love has to hurt (she was abused as a child) or she is scared to leave him.. I was in a  14 month relationship and he beat me, yelled, and called me horrible names and on top of that he cheated with every girl he could...I stayed with him bc my father beat me and I thought love had to hurt...finally he broke up with me and my soon to  be hubby has shown me love doesnt have to hurt...that it feels good....cursing around her every now and then is ok, but NEVER hit her out of anger or to make yourself feel better!! Play wrestling is ok!!! I hope this helps, if not e mail me and I will try to help more...jss671@yahoo.com

Sometimes, out of the blue, our printer "revs up", but only for a second. It does this completely out of nowhere, when the printer wasn't turned on and I hadn't "asked" it to print anything. Any idea what might be causing this?

Perhaps its teh controller board going bad. has it always done it?


They're right. Yahoo! Answers isn't really the place to introduce yourself to other people. All you can do is keep your contact info in your profile and if someone likes your questions and/or answers, they'll contact you that way. The actual Q&A pages are reserved for just the helpful and informative that you mentioned.


Think about this carefully, this one's hard!

Taste for sure this way I can eat the stuff I hate that is good for you and I will feel and look better.


i used to shag once daily beacause of this my penis shape has gone curvy . and i m worried that i wouldnt end in satisfying my partner. how shud i straighten?? \nand i also experienced that my buttocks have gained size after excessive shagging how to reduce them??

Hello\nYour penis would by curvy even if you did not shag. It is not supposed to be straight as it does not have a bone inside. This question is used by quacks to earn quick money. \nYou don't satisfy your partner either by its length, thickness or straightness. You have to arouse first using foreplay, so that when you enter, the climax comes easily.\nTo a man, its tip is sensitive and not the balance of the shaft, similarly, for your partner, the opening is what is sensitive, and not the canal deep inside. Most even won't know whether its hanging there or reached fully inside if you were just to touch the uterus.\nButtocks have again nothing to do with shagging. Shagging is perfectly normal. Be happy don't worry.


Radio Shack sold me a product called a ground-loop isolator, but It does not eliminate the noise completely. Is there a way to eliminate the noise completely using another method?

Sort of depends on how you connected it. If you used auxillary RCA plugs on your stereo and an adapter cable from the PC to the stereo there should not be a problem. If you tried to go in through a phono jack or unused set of plugs that were intended for some other device you may have enough of an impedence or signal strength mismatch to be causing the problem. Phono jacks for example expect a very, very small signal to be input. a PC inputs a much larger signal and would cause a lot of noise.\n\nCheap cables can also be a problem. A third source of noise can be that you are processing the signal twice. If you are using a software equalizer on your PC and a hardware equalizer on the home stereo then you are overprocessing the signal and that can cause a LOT of Noise!\n\nA ground loop isolater will only lessen or eliminate 60 cycle per second AC hum - like the hum you would get on a badly grounded guitar amplifier with single pole pickups, or the hum caused by flourescent lights. It will not reduce or eliminate any other kind of noise. \n\nWith more info about the nature of the background noise and the input, output and cords you are using someone might be able to give a better answer. Good luck. Finding and eliminating something like this can be a frustrating experience.

How do i make her relize how mean he is and he's got to go!?

thats can be a tough one. maybe talk to some other people and of her family members that may have the same concerns. get together as a group...not a very large group. maybe you a friend and a fam member...keep it small so she doesn't feel like she's being attacked all at once. tell her your concerns. get some information ready on women in abusive relationships....ie: support groups or counsellors that specialize in that area. cause this sounds like its developing into a pattern that you want to nip in the bud now before she really gets in the deep end. explain to her that its out of love and concern for her and her well being. there are some obvious self esteem issues there for her if she feels she can't stand up for herself or let this guy treat her like that. all you state though is he is being mean. how is he mean. there is no excuse, but, what the situation is will have something to do with how to handle it. cause he may need help of a couples counsellor. he may not be aware of his behaviour and how its affecting her. and if they talk it out it may be able to resolve the problem. if he is hitting and being physically or verbally abusive......then she should get out. cause someone does not need to put up with that for any reason. he needs help no matter what...but if its gone to that then talk to her. maybe get feed back from other people phone a victim support hotline on the situation. i'm sure it can be anonymous if you call


beening in a war zone is stressful. So why can't a woman wait for their man. why cheat.

If a woman marries a man in the military, she should expect that he might go away someday. If she can't handle that, she shouldn't marry him. There are added responsiblities with being a military wife. I am one myself. When he is at war he shouldn't have to worry about his wife cheating, he should be comforted by the fact that she is at home preparing for him to come back. He has enough to worry about. I think all the women who cheat on their husbands while they're at war dodging bullets, ied's, watching their friends and comrads die, and stepping over dead bodies on a daily basis, are sorry bitches. If they can't handle the lifestyle they sould get out and let him find someone who wants to be there for him.


I have a few questions about Rapidshare. everytime i download something the download screen vanishes or my itunes opens. why cant i just download it and hear it? should i open the file or save it? whats the difference? Is there a way to put the music i download onto my ipod? that was the original reason i wanted to use Rapidshare. Ok, last question. is there a way to locate a song that i did download on my computer? the one time it actually worked i x'd out of the screen to never find the song again, i checked "my documents", "my songs" it was know where to be found. Sorry this was so many questions. any help would be good! thanks in advance!

I had a problem like that but now its OK .maybe its corrupt or some thing like that.try 2 download it again,if that doesn't work you should get something else like lime wire pro.just in case download any anti-spy-ware because Ur comp could be effected.


Met this girl 1 month ago and i been wondering is this fate or am i in this young lady life just for a season??

People enter other people's lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.  Perhaps you came into her life when she needed a comforting word or hand. Some one she knows is in her corner. Many great friendships and romances start out ths way.


do you think shes pretty even though shes really skinny?\n(guys too)

From what I've heard of people who've encountered her on the street, she seems to be nicer and more personable than a lot of the people in Hollywood, but I think she's far too skinny to be seen as attractive. She should put on fifteen or twenty pounds, and then maybe she'd be cute again.


each square of a chessboard contains the number 0 or the number 1. for each square containing a 0, the sum of the numbers in the row and the column containing that square, taken together, is atleast 8. prove that there are at least 32 squares which contan a 1.

Let z be the maximum number of zeros in any row or column. There must be some row or column with exactly z zeros in it. Let's say it's a row (otherwise reverse the words "row" and "column" in the following).\n\nFor any position in this row containing a 0: The number of 1's in its column must be at least 8-(8-z)=z by the hypothesis of the problem.\n\nFor any of the other (8-z) positions containing a 1: The number of 1's in its column must be at least 8-z, by assumption that z is the maximum number of 0's in any row or column.\n\nSo adding up the eight columns: the total number of ones on the board is at least: z*z + (8-z)*(8-z). The minimum value of this quadratic is easily seen to be 32 and occurs at z=4.


well we koreans have this thing called our first love it doesn't mean ur very first love it means she/he was the one u loved the most yet in your life and yeah i live in korea and i have my first love...i've been rejected from her...im trying to move on but....i still love her so much what should i do?

Don't forget.....Love does not mean possession.\n\nIf you really love this person then you would also want to see her happy in everything, even if it means a sacrifice to you.\n\nJust let her know that you care and want to see her happy. \n\nWish you well.

They think guys are my downfall in life and that I should focus on "AMY" right now. But in the meantime I met this guy at a restaurant and have been sneaking around to hang out with him.

My mom has congestive heart failure. My daughter and I had to move in to take care of her. Now I'm a 37 year-old single dad who lives with his mommy. And believe me, for a while she thought she had me under her thumb.\n\nThere's certain things your parents CAN tell you to do. No drugs in the house, don't burn the house down, don't kick the dog, and don't pee on the carpet are among them. Or did I get that backwards? Don't kick the carpet or pee on the dog? Well, you get the picture.\n\nThere's also certain things they can't tell you. Like who to date. But, don't say **** what they say, either. Be calm, but don't back down. If you stay calm, they know you are in control. No reason to get mad, it's not up to them. They can whine, cry and shout all they want. They know it's not their decision. And try not to keep secrets. If you have no secrets, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

I want to know what religion or path you follow, who do you worship, are men and women equal, do you practice it and how do you do this (church, reading, meditating, etc), and all the info you can give me about all the different path's.\nPlease do not bash other's beliefs and do not preach your's.

I've just asked a similar question, but I'll gladly give my own opinion.\n\nI'm pagan. I believe in a unified creative force that's too big for us to comprehend, just like the Catholics. \n\nI believe that communication with this creative force comes through various comprehensible agents, like Jesus, the Catholic Saints, Buddha, Krishna, Odin, Pan and Gaea. \n\nI believe that these avatars can teach you how to be yourself, and that their strength comes from your faith in them. Strong faith comes from strong people. Belief in a higher power won't help anyone if you don't believe in yourself.\n\nI believe that your actions have consequences in this life, if you do something bad you don't have to wait til you die for the punishment, it comes back threefold. Likewise, if you do something good, you'll be rewarded threefold.\n\nI also believe that if you're only being good for the payoff, like going to heaven or gaining a karmic reward, it counts as a selfish act and you'll be punished for it.\n\nI believe you can do whatever you like as long as you remember the threefold rule.

It wasn't a certified letter you had to sign for, was it?  If it was, you can't refuse it now.  If it was sent regular post you don't need to add any postage if you haven't opened it, just cross out your address with an arrow to the sender address and write "refused, return to sender"

Depends on your age... if you're in ur teens its normal becuase your hormones are wacky and changing.\n\nAlso, if your a gal, alot of girls tend to break out around or during their period.


Well, I'm 27 and he's 33. And I hadn't had sex for 4 months so I was horny. We met on the internet. Met up with him once in the afternoon, then went out with him again at night. Then I stayed at his place till the next morning. He didn't take me out for an expensive dinner or anything. Its been one month now, and things are going ok ...

thats fine i guess...I met someone over the internet as well and we slept together after seeing eachother twice! I was a bit messede up after that, but things are going ok...we are not together though, but things are slowly moving to the next level...Dnt feel bad about being attractive to someone...as long as you used protection tten i dnt see what the big deal is...I asked a similar question not too long ago. And see...you guys are still together... And dnt take what Khalidnm2003 said to heart...When guys do it it's great...But as soon as a woman enjoys her sexual self we are referred to as $luts! You dnt need people bring you down...Plus you are a grown woman so why the heck not...Power to you sister!!!


this has always kept me looking at the sky, looking at the news, but i just keep felling it's getting near

Pretty soon... anti-christ bush is here already.


I have skipped breakfast as a regular meal for the past decade. I generally do not feel hungry until 12 or 1 pm. \n\nIs skipping breakfast when you're not hungry advisable?\n\nIf I should eat at least something, what is light enough to be easy on the stomach and less than 100 calories?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Once you have eaten breakfast your metabolism kicks into life & starts running the "engine" that is your body.\nEat breakfast even when you think you aren't hungry. Even a couple of slices of toast or a lightly boiled egg or something like fruit & yoghurt is enough to get your metabolism going.


i met this guy through the net who is nice and friendly. we chat often but now i want it to stop. what should i tell him?

just quit responding to his emails and ignore his IMs.


ok, so we're there...u'r goin 2 dinner w/her...she wouldn't agree to come with u if she doesn't like u. now, LIKE doesn't mean, like u like u, she cld like to go out & hve dinner, she cld like to go out & just hang out 2gder or she cld like to go out coz she likes u as well. well, of course we r hoping its the last reason, aight?\n\nnormally, us girls, when we like a guy, we chase them..like we send mobile msg for no apparent reason, give missed calls or call...jst to tell u "hey, i remmber u...dyou remmber me?"\n\ngirls like to be noticed...when the girl of ur dreams does this...she could like u..now, we used the term could, coz there are a lot of reasons y girls like to be noticed....but at the end...if u keep being a gentleman & treat her right, she will surely like u..better yet, love u...\n\nenjoy ur date!


I was told a lot of times that some golf players made a wire-to-wire win of a game, but don't understand what's the meaning of "wire-to-wire win".\nThanks!

This means that you have the lowest score of all participants at the conclusion of each round.  Usually there are four rounds in most tournaments, so this means that you must shoot the lowest (best) score in round 1 (usually Thursday), then also have the best cumulative score at the end of rounds 2, 3, and 4.


why they seem to hate doing anything that you may ask them to do.  Now understand I am not talking about telling them, but asking the.

Hormones for one, and the natural process of becoming independent for another, which requires asserting independence. Rebelling is really nothing more than that - asserting independence. The unfortunate thing is that we don't realize how much we DON'T know until we get a little older. Another unfortunate thing is that this natural process can become VERY ugly if the teen has a lot of built up anger over past issues. We say that children are resilient, but what they are doing is bottling it up, and it WILL come out eventually. But, even perfectly healthy teens will rebel in some ways.

Hi!\nAmerica world's biggest economy today would continue to be big for many years. However, what may be particularly interesting that it may not remain there forever.\nLets look at the BRICs report, published by Goldman Sachs... http://www.gs.com/insight/research/reports/99.pdf\nI guess that kind of gives you an insight of the economies of the future; wherein China and India look promising. China, as a matter of fact is said to displace US in less than 50 years. \nA Giant like the US cannot become a part of a fleet of mice... So the way I look at it; US would continue to be a (mark the difference, "a" and not "the") dominating economy; but would have some good company of friends coming in from Asia!\nHope it makes sense to ya! :)\n\nEurope and Japan don't look very promising in long term... Their populations are aging fast which isn't a great sign for the next many decades.


Is it possible to find a job that lets me work only 12 hours a week? thanks a lot

Yes, it is possible to find a job working only 12 hrs. a week, whether you can doo the work is another question..\nA ticket to work will allow tou to work and make up to $540. a month for 9 straight months and still receive full SSID and SSI benefits after that you will be reviewed. You can always go back on SSID and SSI by re-applying.
