I like this guy and I think he might have liked me to.We always say hi when we pass each other and he occasionally stops by to join in me and my friend's conversations. Recently, one of my friends(who knows I like him)told him to stop hitting one me.Now whenever he sees me he totally turns the opposite direction and ignores me.My friend really hurt his feelings and I feel sorry fot him.What should I do-any advice?

well being a guy i think i can help when someone tells me to go away or "stop hitting on them" i do but when they say that its okay i hang out with them again. \nHate cannot turn out Hate only Love can do that\n-Martin Luther King Junior-

If I take 2 classes a day is that considered full time school

I think every high school is different, but 2 classes is definitely not enough. Most community colleges require 12 units to be considered full-time.


My son had an injury to his eye during a major surgery several years ago.  Since then he has lazy eye and vision problems.  We tried patching for a while and I think it helped some but not a whole lot.  The doctor wants us to try it again, a year after we stopped the patching, to see if it helps again. Have you had success with this?

I actually spoke to my doctor about this recently regarding my own eyesite. The answer is it depends on the age of the child and how far along they are in development. \nPatching assists the lazy eye in becoming less lazy. At a young age children's eyes still have the ability to become stronger. However as one eye (non-lazy) becomes more and more dominant, the lazy eye becomes lazier. Patching forces the lazy eye to work. It is a forced trick on the brain, not the eye. Once your child gets used to focusing that eye again, you take the patch off.\nIf your child is still young it does help, if he's older you have to patch it for longer to see the effects. It doesn't fix the vision of the eye, but it helps the communication between the eye and the brain.

Once oersted was performing his regular experiments with electric currents. He had accidently kept a magnetic needle nearby. At that time there was no relation known between electricity and magnetism. But when oersted passed a current through a wire, he saw a deflection in the needle. When direction of current changed, the deflection was in the opposite direction.\nSo Oersted's law as stated in 1920 is :\nAn electric current flowing through a conductor produces a magnetic field in its surroundings. The strength of the field is a function of electric current and depends on the nature of conductor.\n\nThe further relation between electricity and magnetism was given mathematically be Faraday and Lenz.\nYour question is very much conceptual and related closely to Electromagnetism. I suggest that you check out other internet sites giving indepth info about these topics. It will be helpful for you.\nI hope this answer satisfies your query.


I don't know what's up with me...I love meat, but I'm starting to believe maybe we weren't really meant to eat meat at all. Our bodies don't seem to be all that adept at digesting meat and hearing that it sits rotting away in our intestines...slightly icky. \nWhat do you think?

Beats the heck out of Tofu. If I'm going to have something rotting inside me I want it to taste good going down. Don't get me wrong, I like my veggies but I gotta have my meat. Come to think of it, might just go and grill me a big steak right now. I'm hungry.


If you look the amount of qestions that are repted,you'll see a pattern.\nEighter its should the US go to war with Iran?\nor is Bush to blame for everything?\nor is Bush mad?\nor Why is Pakistan not attacked by the US?\n Comeon its boraing!\nAnd its mostly people from the US! whats wrong with you guys?

Well, I think that the US people are mostly to blame. We always get fixated onto our own 'domestic' issues, and hardly ever look outside the box. Our media giants never feed us the true news, and we have to spend hours searching on the internet to find the true story, but I still think we are too naive. There ARE much more important things than Iraq, like the genocides in Africa, but we never really care. Sometimes, it just gets me so mad. Then again, i'm only 13... PS.

My sister makes beautiful jewelry, but she only gets $10 - $25 a piece at craft fairs.  I have seen jewelry that looks just like hers in an art gallery asking $l,000 or more.

First off it all depends on how you market your jewelry. If you want to sell this for $1,000 or more you need to make your customers precieve that kind of value on your product. \n\nFirst if you know that your jewelry is one of a kind you need to show that it does. Your own style and label. Labeling your jewelry is your name to fame. Especially the ones you see in the art galleries. Make your jewelry unique, creative, your style, your design. Make your name as a Brand. Market your name as a Brand. So when people hear your name they know it's your jewelry.\n\nExample: When you say McDonald's...people think of Big Mac\n\nI'm gonna give you a tip that I learned from my father he used to buy old cars and resold the car himself. This is what he used to do to get more money for his car. He used to place flyers in local stores sending customers to my brother's house, to see the car for a high price, which didn't say how much the price of the car this flyer states that we accept any offers. Then in a few days later he place another ad which sent customer's to his house, which this flyer has a lower price on the same car advertise.  So in the end he was selling his car for more, but price was cheaper than from my brother's house. Without Negotiating any pricing on the car.\n\nKnow you can use the same system to resell your jewelry. For example you can set up a website selling it for really high. And you can set up an account on Ebay where your going to sell it for less. Now remember whatever price you sell on your website your going to sell it on Ebay for 1/2 of the price.\n\nYou can also create a blog about jewelry art. And you can talk about your designs. This will increase your Branding.\n\nGood Luck and I hope this will help you in your jewelry business venture.\n\nLuis Galarza,  Business and Telecommunication Consultant\nfor communication tips go to http://www.cogni360blog.co.nr\nand for free business tips go to http://luisgalarza.blogspot.com


11 is nearly 3.5 pi, which means the sine value ought to be nearly -1 (at 0.5 pi, 2.5 pi, 4.5 pi etc. it is plus one, at 1.5 pi, 3.5 pi, 5.5 pi etc. it is minus one).


Trish has a shooting pecentage of 85%. that is she makes 85% of th shots she attempts.  if she attempts 400 shots this season, about how many goals will she score?

In order to figure out this problem, it's 85% of 400. Which means, you take....\n\nYou know 85% is of 100% total--right? So, you turn it into a fraction:\n\n85/100 of 400/1 \n\n400/1 equal to 400 ... cuz 400 divided by 1 is 400.\n\nThe word "of" means to multiply... so you take:\n\nYou multiply top by top numbers and bottom by bottom...ok?\n\n85/100 x 400/1 = 34,000/100....\n\nNow, you take 34,000 divided by 100, which gives you 340, as your answer.\n\nIf you have anymore questions, feel free to email me anytime at Luvs2Write16@aol.com.\n\nTake care.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMichelle

Yes, especially if they REFUSE to switch places with someone that would want to sit by the window, and that would keep the blinds open.  What's the point of having windows if you cannot see out of them?

I know the pathophysiology for the cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but I am not sure of this problem one of my friends is having. They have always been pretty healthy, but are currently in school and very busy with school, stress, exams, etc. They have mostly always followed a very healthy diet and used to jog and exercise daily for years and years, but now it is different.\nTo the point, sometimes when they eat alot of sweets, for instance like a cupcake with lots o frosting, their face becomes minorly flushed, and the cheeks feel very hot and  slightly tingly. I am aware that wih insulin resistance, and my hypothesis is that the sweet glucose from this cupcake would not be able to get into the cell, and is just in the interstitial spaces, or whatever, and that is what is causing the flushing. \nDo you think it sounds like the possibility of the beginning of type 2 (insulin resistant) diabetes mellitus? Or because of the strict diet, their body can't adjust to high amts of sugar?

I would guess some kind of food allergy before diabetes.  I am not aware of hyperglycemia causing the symptoms you described.  Having to drink fluid and pee frequently is a sign of diabetes, among others.  If DM is a concern, a fasting blood glucose level could be taken in a clinic.

When the weather gets warmer in the North East, and the bass start to feed, What bates do you use,and colors.Lures only, in a decent size lake about three to nine feet and structure such as pads, under wated fallen trees, some rock ledges.Sore fishing only. Will they be in the open before spawning, or hold out in cover? I usually go with white spinnerbaits/pastel colored plastics. Should I go with crank baits? Whats your take?

Bass will be coming up to the shallows looking for spawning areas and food, try a plastic worm with a small weight in and around the lilly pads (texas rig style)hook point in the worm to prevent hooking the pads. Try green spinner baits around the timber letting it sink close to bottom. Most people reel crankbaits so fast only the most active fish will bite, slow down :D

My roommate and I cant remember the name of Appollo's sister, the one in greek mythology who followed Appolo across the sky bringing nighttime after Appollo brought daytime.  I remember that it wasnt Morpheus.  He brought dreams and nightmares.  He was the start of the Sandman tales.

Artemis (Diana) was the daughter of Zeus and Leto. Her twin brother was Apollo. She was the lady of the wild things. She was the huntsman of the gods. She was the protector of the young. Like Apollo, she hunted with silver arrows. She became associated with the moon. She was a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She also presided over childbirth, which may seem odd for a virgin, but goes back to causing Leto no pain when she was born. The cypress was her tree. All wild animals were sacred to her, especially the deer.

breaking hearts is bad Karma. respect yourself and your mate by giving full attention. if you yearn someone else then you must make a honorable escape or dont be a future woman complaining why men are so whatever. if he finds out your boinking someone else and his heart is in love, like so many of young men (to tough to admit) then he'll probibly take it out on his future mates.

I don't understand. Wouldn't there be less problems, in today's society, if we just did what we knew was right for a change? I mean we know when we are doing something wrong. But for some reason we get some sort of thrill out of doing what's wrong. Why????

i think no one wants to do wrong on porpose at all times. One reason people do wrong is because they react out of impulse of the moment or out of insticts without taking the time to think things over first before acting. Other times they do something wrong because they let themselfs convinced and draged into action by so called friends. \nIs in nature of human beeings to feel attracted by forbiden things (which in most cases are wrong) and is in human nature to feel it hard to resist temptations ( we got an example from old times in Adam and Eve who although were aware they were not alowed to touch the forbiden fruit Eve still did it and then convinced Adam to do it also).\nWe can never expect someone to do only the right thing cuz no one is perfect , we are submited to mistakes. The only way we can  make up for the wrong choises we make is to learn from them and dont repeat them.

than a tube of tennis balls. How much did the tennis racket cost?

let one tube cost 'a' dollars. then the racket costs 'a+108'\nand four tubes cost '4a'\nSo total cost is 4a + (a+108) which is $143.\nOr,\n5a + 108 = 143\n5a = 143 - 108 = 35\na = 35/5 = 7\nSO a tube of balls cost $7, and the racket costs 108+7 that is $115.\n\nANSWER: $115 for the racket

I believe that having a felony is grounds for deportation if someone is not a citizen of the United States.  Driving under the influence is a felony.  Non-citizens who commit felonies are usually required to serve their sentence here in the U.S. before being deported so it is not unusual for someone to be picked up by INS after they have finished their sentence (in this case, community service).

Lately i have noticed how bad i want to marry this guy. all my friends are married and have kids. I think this guy is the one. but how do i tell this guy i might want to marry him? and how do i know if this is too soon? Please help i am confussed!!! thanks a lot :)

First off, make sure your not being blinded by that early part of a relationship where everything is all roses and wine.  Take some time to be realistic about really look at the relationship closely.  Liveing together will give you some idea about what it would be like to be married to someone but it won't give you the whole picture.  If after all that your still feeling the same way, just start by mentioning little things about marriage to him to see if it will start a conversation that will reveal his thoughts.


He's at my school....and ya...do i say hi to him or not? Oh he also wants my phone #...im confused...

Well hes a dork if hes waiting for you to say hi to him.  If he has any balls he will come say hi to you.\n\nIf you think he only wants sex than you are probably right.  \nJust hang out with him but dont give "IT" up.\nIf he sticks around even after you deny him sex than hes probably not that bad.\n\nIf you just want sex yurself and could care less.  Than damn, go say hi to the lucky guy.


If so how are we any different from other totolitarian police states?

Ask Sen. John McCain...\nHe has first hand knowledge about the use of torture having undergone it while a POW in Vietnam.\nNO!!!!  We are the United States of America... and that USED to stand for something! We used to be leaders in world efforts for human rights and against the use of torture.  Now we do it ourselves!!! If we are lowered to the level of those we appose, then what does that make us?  \nAnd finally, it has been proven that information gained from the use of torture is not reliable and other means of interogation that do not use torture are more effective! So why are we using it?????


Bush this , Bush caused that, it's all Bush's fault, blah, blah, blah. When will we tire of this parrot pablem. First off, it's PRESIDENT Bush. You don't have to respect the man, you must respect the position. He worked his a** off to become our leader. NO President has as big an impact on our day to day lives as some would like us to believe. That distinction belongs to our Senators and Congress-persons. Governors, Mayors, and state legislators have a much greater say in our lives than the President. He's only the "punching bag" for the dissatisfied. \nDid you vote? Did you volunteer for your favorite candidates? Do you even know who your elected officials are? Are your opinions based on one issue as you cast judgement on a man's character? Ever ask yourself, "What can I do to improve my city, my state, or my country?" If any one of you can do a better job than anyone currently in office, I suggest you throw your hat into the ring, don't just whine about it.\nYour comments please.

You are right, many people don't respect the president (or most other authority figures, police, teachers, other government officials.)  \n\nI also wholeheartendly agree that many people simply espouse others views without thinking, let alone thinking critically.  That said, they have an unfettered right to express thier opinion, as ignorant as they may be. \n\nI venture to say many citizens (and many on this site) could not explain the difference between the authority vested in Congress as compared to the President.  But, they do know how to hurl insults and call names  (Bush is retarded, for example, as on another "question") \n\nIt's healthy to question policy decisions.  Debate on these questions is necessary in a democracy. Unfortunately, many simply want to insult, criticize and, as you say, make the president a "punching bag.  Too bad people don't take the time to educate themselves on the issues. \n\nIn answer to your final questions - Yes. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. And, I did and won.


my bfriend and i basically have a roller coaster relationship where we av ups and downs but mostly downs.I use to think that it was natural for persons who are in love to have these little fights but i seriously think it's happening too regularly.

Why is it that when everything has been going bad, something GOOD happens?\n\nBecause we are all starting from imperfection and zero experience.  And there are temptations and pitfalls that accrue from not heeding the true basic tenets handed down over the ages, just about everywhere (including different cultures and religions).\n\nLife is a struggle, we have to team up and cope with the challenges.  There will be some disappointments along the way, you cannot control what others do, only yourself, and even yourself not always...\n\nAll the most needed things are free.  As for those things that require effort or money, be satisfied with what you really need as opposed to what you want.\n\nEven when we are old we must continually remind ourselves about this.  \n\nYou see some people who are unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably UNHAPPY and may even do crimes because they WANT SO MUCH, they are never satisfied.  Also, comes from living too much for ONESELF and not enough for others, helping others, working with others, sharing with others.\n\nHappiness is doing what is right and being satisfied with it, even when the surroundings are messy, all $%^#$&^^ up.\n\nIt is possible for heaven on earth if you think about this.  Meanwhile, you can have heaven in your own little spot, for sure.  There are ups and downs for everyone, even perfect visitors.


I told people i was in a band but i rele am not but i can sorta ply but not so well and i like the  drums but i lyk never have time to get lessons and other stuff because of skool work and me trying to make money.  If people ask me to paly for them if they have a drum set what should i do?  I dont want to let people no that im a lar or any thing so what should i do?  Also people think that i can play rele well so i think im pretty much screwed and yea?  I need some suggestions badly!

Be honest, they will find out eventually anyway, then you are screwed. Practice, practice, practice. Establish your priorities, if drumming is last, you will never do it.


I am a Downhill Skier,very good, and hoping to be on the US Ski Team in Vancouver in 2010.

You should contact the United States Ski Team and/or the United States Skiing Association and maybe they can assist you.


should i buy madden 06?\nhow good is the 360\ncan you save mp3 cd to the hard drive

Ok. Whether you should by an xbox 360 depends on what kind of games you like. I am an rpg kind of guy and I was really disapointed when they didn't release ANY rpg's when it came out. However, if you are more into first person shooter or sports games an xbox 360 is a must have especially if you have an HD tv. My xbox 360 downloads all my music cd's.


I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the main ingredients of bar soap are.

The manufacture of soap is based on a chemical reaction (saponification) in which an alkali acts upon a fat to form a metal salt (soap) and an alcohol (glycerol).\n\nYou can get more information in the link below.


Sorry I just thought this was funny... I have adderall XR and when you take the capsule apart, there's tons of little peach color beeds inside and I had one that crushed and I had it all collected in the medicine bottle cap, some spilled on my table and I saw an ant crawling away trying to eat the little beed. Isn't that funny???


Before surgery I was pretty fit so it sort of worries me. I now look like I'm pregnant. Is it just a temporary thing after surgery? I had surgery 3 weeks before to remove my perforated appendix.

If you had your appendix removed Laproscopically, it is probably the co2 they used to air your belly up to visualize and remove your appendix. The air will eventually work its way out. If you had it the "old fashioned way", where they cut you open to get it out, it could be that your muscles were stretched some during the procedure. You should be able to resume your exercise routine as soon as your Dr. releases you, and get your tummy muscles toned back up.


Aren't these cases just breaking IOC rules?

Doping is illegal and since the athletes and the Olympic games are in Italy, their police are getting involved. Just like the police here in the US would get involved if it was here.


Why am I stupid? Why can't I do anything right?

You're just going through a hard time right now. You wouldn't be here with out your parents and God all mighty as your creator. and you are surely loved by all of them ! if you are having suicidal thoughts PLEASE don't do anything like that. your family and friends then suffer for the rest of their life aching for you missing you and wondering WHY. I Know I have lost siblings to suicide. talk to a teacher a minister.your parents your doctor or anyone who can help you. given medication and time you will feel TONS better. Get moving as hard as that may sound get up and get busy go hang with some positive influence friends or family. do anything except sit there and let depression win. You are stronger than that.need a friend to talk to ? email me @ granpamma@yahoo.com Lots of people who don't even know you care. LIFE DOES GET BETTER !!! you are still young and haven't even got to really make your own life what you want it to be. the possibilities are endless and LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE OF IT ! if you are doing drugs or alcohol STOP IT ......that causes major depression and Life does suck when you put that kind of crap in your body ! Love to you ! I will pray for ya !Best of Luck !


I really, really dislike President Bush.  I feel he has done our country a great injustice while in office.  I do not believe there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and I feel Bush used his presidency as a means to settle a personal vendetta.  Am I alone of does anyone else hate George Bush?

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

I know that the SOIR is on the internet in French. But I like to be able to translate into English..

You can't.  It's only in French.  Their web site is very simple because the newspaper has been in bankruptcy for several months.


I made a bet 25 years ago. But i still could not settle it. I was rooting for dolphins.

What is your definition of smart? Smarter than what? A rock? Amoeba?\nAbility to make controlled sounds that could be used in oral communication? Dolphins.\nAbility to manipulate the environment with one's extremities? Chimps.\nSocial behaviour? It's a draw.\nKilling of members of the same species? A draw again.\nAbility to change the environment, produce artifacts and a lot of rubbish. Neither. \n\nIt all depends on your questions.


with everyone taking pay cuts to keep their jobs-have any presidents,congressmen,etc. taken pay cuts? wouldnt it help us feel better if they would do it too? instead of congress and senators giving themselves pay raises wouldnt a little pay cut help too?

You are right on. \nDr Gene Harris, superintendant of the Columbus public school district, once refused a pay increase. I'm sure there are other examples of budget consious legislators and adminisrators doing the same.


I know this is a lofty question, but sometimes new ideas....

I think that peace must be had.  The Isrealis and the Palestinians need to be seperated.  There is too much hate for them to live together and sing "cume bye yah".  Both sides must agree to recognize each other and agree to total peace.  \n\nThere should be a barrier built, at mutually agreed borders, and Jeruselum must be free of all weapons and a free city, supported by a multinational security force.  The East should be the capital of Palestine and the West for Israel.  This would be VERY difficult because both sides want it all.  \n\nAll of the Gulf nations, with their 7 star hotels, should throw money and influence to the Palestinian Nation, while the West would continue to support Israel.  \n\nThis is the only way I can see that it will work.

Underground Railroad, in U.S. history, loosely organized system for helping fugitive slaves escape to Canada or to areas of safety in free states. It was run by local groups of Northern abolitionists, both white and free blacks. The metaphor first appeared in print in the early 1840s, and other railroad terminology was soon added. The escaping slaves were called passengers; the homes where they were sheltered, stations; and those who guided them, conductors. This nomenclature, along with the numerous, somewhat glorified, personal reminiscences written by conductors in the postwar period, created the impression that the Underground Railroad was a highly systematized, national, secret organization that accomplished prodigious feats in stealing slaves away from the South. In fact, most of the help given to fugitive slaves on their varied routes north was spontaneously offered and came not only from abolitionists or self-styled members of the Underground Railroad, but from anyone moved to sympathy by the plight of the runaway slave before his eyes. The major part played by free blacks, of both North and South, and by slaves on plantations along the way in helping fugitives escape to freedom was underestimated in nearly all early accounts of the railroad. Moreover, the resourcefulness and daring of the fleeing slaves themselves, who were usually helped only after the most dangerous part of their journey (i.e., the Southern part) was over, were probably more important factors in the success of their escape than many conductors readily admitted. In some localities, like Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Wilmington, Del., and Newport, Ind. (site of the activities of Levi Coffin), energetic organizers did manage to loosely systematize the work; Quakers were particularly prominent as conductors, and among the free blacks the exploits of Harriet Tubman stand out. In all cases, however, it is extremely difficult to separate fact from legend, especially since relatively few enslaved blacks, probably no more than a few thousand a year between 1840 and 1860, escaped successfully. Far from being kept secret, details of escapes on the Underground Railroad were highly publicized and exaggerated in both the North and the South, although for different reasons. The abolitionists used the Underground Railroad as a propaganda device to dramatize the evils of slavery; Southern slaveholders publicized it to illustrate Northern infidelity to the fugitive slave laws. The effect of this publicity, with its repeated tellings and exaggerations of slave escapes, was to create an Underground Railroad legend that correctly represented a humanitarian ideal of the pre–Civil War period, but that strayed far from reality. The pioneer study is W. H. Siebert, The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom (1898, repr. 1968); for an extensively revised account, see Larry Gara, The Liberty Line (1961).

just broken up from a relationship and i need a guy who will love me for me

don't go looking, you usually find the right one when you least except it.


you know when you are on the internet and you get a email telling you that you won a New cell phone .but then they want you to do a survey? they ask you like 200 questions but has any one ever really one ?if so please tell me what you did .

My friend is with this guy for about 1/2 year(s). shes 21 years old and hes 29 she doesnt no what she saw in him and she said that she was drunk when they met. Every single time she thinks about braking up with him she cant shes been saying the same thing for about for half a year and nothing happened some edvice please??

If she can't break up with him I believe that only means she has developed feelings for him, or else it would have been a lot easier for her. Otherwise, she might be feeling sorry for him assuming he might get upset and hurt, which also means she's with him for the wrong reasons. If your friend has no feelings for him, and is not attached to him emotionally, then she should leave him and be fair to him,  and most importantly to herself.


explain what it means and some of what soldiers went through

Yep I think they hit it right on the head. I think the great war had a very deep and tragic meaning to the British, much like the Civil War to the Americans. I took a tour of Flanders given by a British Army officer. Early war it was Chlorine, burns up your lungs...It doesent kill you right away and they put the guy in the cart and watched him die slowly. He didnt get his mask on in time.Remeber at the start of the poem it talked about how tired they were and they really wasnt paying attention to to gas shells being fired at them. Gas shells usually are not as loud as regular high explosive shells. The early masks were basically chemically treated sacks with cellophane "glas" to see out of.Not easy to put on in a hurry.


I've heard that if cops catch you they can arrest you. So is it illegal to kill yourself?

Illegal to kill yourself.  And if you do, how exactly will you be prosecuted?\n\nOkay, I can only speak for California (but if some state out there really, TRULY has a law against someone taking their own life, I'd love to read it):\n\nIn California, it is not illegal to kill yourself.  You can do it as often as you like without fear of being arrested.  It is not illegal to *try* and kill yourself, either.  In both cases, (trying and/or succeeding), making it illegal would be about the most ridiculous law I can think of.  \n\nIt *is* illegal in this state to encourage someone to kill themselves.  I've had the pleasure of arresting a local idiot for repeatedly yelling "jump" at someone who was on the 4th floor of a building, looking to do just that.\n\nAttempting to kill yourself in California, assuming you are not sucessful and are discovered by the police, will most likely land you in a mental health facility for up to 72 hours.\n\nIllegal to kill yourself?  Seriously...I want to see that law.


I don't really know her at all. She plays on the softball team at my school. She seems like a nice girl, but i have been wrong about that before. I bought her a pink carnation and the school is going to give them out on valentines day. I have been told that that could be a good way to break the ice with her. The only time I see her is in the lunch wave that comes in after mine. For me to really talk to her I would have to either skip class or have a really quick conversation with her. Anyway I just wanted to ask what I should do and what to talk about.

Make some plans like\nGet two Movie tickets in advance and have them with you.\n\nWhen you're on your break ...\nFeel confident & strong ... Be sure the tone of your voice is not shaking :)\nGo to her and tell her that you want to tell her\n"SOMETHING" ... but you can't say it there ...\nThen take her somewhere where no one will stare and listen\nto whatever you say to her... So if anyone tries to make any\njokes she won't feel embarassed ...\n\nThen DON'T tell her stuff like ...\nYou are so beautiful and i like you so much ... bla bla bla WUSSY\nstuff ... Girls like strong and confident guys ... (not necesary with a ton of muscles)\nAnd also dont keep smiling like a retard ... :) Try being natural and don't overreact ...\n\nSay to her ... I have 2 tickets for a great movie and I would like you\nto go and see it with me ... (you can show her the tickets while talking and then put them back in your pocket) ...\n\nDon't give any details unless she asks ...\nIf she sais ... I've seen that movie you can tell her ...\n"Okay, than I would like to hear the story of this movie from you ... "\n"Let's go out, have a pizza and you can tell me all about it ... "\n\nJUST ONE WAY OF BREAKING THE ICE ...\n\nAnything else is good as long as you MAINTAIN your CONFIDENCE\nand don't act as a WUSSY ...\n\nLet me know if this worked out!


okay everyone is talking about wet dreams and i have no clue as to what they are sometimes i think that they are when people have dreams about doing it then other times i think that it is when they have a dream about water which is it?


I'm so bad at procrastinating...making schedules doesn't work, I don't have any motivation, but I don't want to fail college...what do I do?!?

If you want to stop procrastinating take small steps to overcome it. Instead of maling a day long to do list just pick one thing to do by a certain time. A few days later add a second thing to do a certain time. Using the same approach, every few days add an additional thing. Before you know it you'll be getting a lot of things done on time and you'll feel better about yourself and your future. Good luck.


I should know this, George is my little brother, he's both actually, Our dad is a chimp and our mom is a monkey. George lost his tail in Nam, poor guy.

The Pope speaks for the Holy Roman Catholic Church.  The Dalai Lama speaks for all of Tibetan Buddhists.  Who can speak for all Christians or all Buddhists or all Muslims?

It is such a broad term "Christianity" that no one would listen to just one person.  Just the history of Christianity shows that as soon as one person starts to speak they're followed by a group of others all trying to speak louder.\n\nThe Bible, since it's the basis of Christianity, is the only thing that covers "all" of Christianity but even quoting from it leads to much confusion and disagreement.\n\nSo, the answer is, No body is speaking for all of Christianity.  Just individual speakers for parts of it.


I am 25 years old and my blood count for the past 2 1/2 years has been about 15,ooo - 17,000. the doctors never say anything about it.

Clinical and Physiological Links Between Diabetes and Heart Disease." \n\n"In a large seven year study, for which over 12,000 patients were screened, cardiovascular risk was demonstrated to be associated with an elevated white blood cell count (WBC) ..."\n\nI'm not a doctor, nor am I suggesting you may have heart disease, but the study is an interesting read, nonetheless.\n\nI hope you find the answer you're looking for.

Diamond is carbon in its most concentrated form. Except for trace impurities like boron and nitrogen, diamond is composed solely of carbon, the chemical element that is fundamental to all life.\n\nBut diamond is distinctly different from its close cousins the common mineral graphite and lonsdaleite, both of which are also composed of carbon. Why is diamond the hardest surface known while graphite is exceedingly soft? Why is diamond transparent while graphite is opaque and metallic black? What is it that makes diamond so unique? \n\nThe key to these questions lie in diamond's particular arrangement of carbon atoms or its crystal structure--the feature that defines any mineral's fundamental properties. A crystal is a solid body formed from the bonding of atomic elements or compounds in a repeating arrangement. Often, crystals possess smooth external faces. Due to their symmetrical and finite nature, the building blocks of crystals are limited to relatively small numbers of atoms, and their chemical compositions to simple numerical combinations of elements.\n\nA neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons surrounding its nucleus. Four of the electrons in a carbon atom are valence electrons, which are electrons that are available to form bonds with other atoms. In graphite, each carbon atom bonds only 3 of its 4 valence electrons with neighboring carbons. The resulting structure of these bonds is a flat sheet of connected carbon atoms. Though individually strong, these layers are only weakly connected to one another, and the ease with which they are separated is what makes graphite so slippery.\n \nIn diamond however, every carbon shares all 4 of its available electrons with adjacent carbon atoms, forming a tetrahedral unit. This shared electron-pair bonding forms the strongest known chemical linkage, the covalent bond, which is responsible for many of diamond's superlative properties. The repeating structural unit of diamond consists of 8 atoms which are fundamentally arranged in a cube.\n\nUsing this cubic form and its highly symmetrical arrangement of atoms, diamond crystals can develop in a variety of different shapes known as "crystal habits." The octahedron, or eight-sided shape that we associate with diamonds is its most common crystal habit. But diamond crystals can also form cubes, dodecahedra, and even combinations of these shapes. All of these shapes are manifestations of the cubic crystal system to which the mineral diamond belongs. Two exceptions are the flat form called a macle, which is actually a composite crystal, and etched crystals, which have rounded surfaces and, sometimes, elongated shapes.\n\nReal diamond crystals don't have completely smooth faces. Trigons are triangular growths that reflect subtle changes in height on a diamond's face. The trigons shown here are slight indentations that were most likely produced by a natural etching of the crystal. However, raised trigons, which point in the same direction as the crystal face, may also occur from etching, dissolution, or as part of the natural growth of the crystal.\n\nDiamond is renowned for its hardness. Hardness is the measure of a substance's resistance to being scratched, and only a diamond can scratch another diamond. Diamond is the hardest substance known.\n\nHardness is not the only measure of a mineral's durability--the relative resistance to fracture is another. Although diamond is not fragile or prone to breaking apart, all substances including diamond can fracture or shatter. Due to its particular crystal structure, diamond has certain planes of weakness along which it can be split. Diamond is said to have perfect cleavage in four different directions, meaning it will separate neatly along these lines rather than in a jagged or irregular fashion. This is because the diamond crystal has fewer chemical bonds along the plane of its octahedral face than in other directions. Diamond cutters take advantage

and how about if your shy,another thing im not trying to brag but like a lot of girls would like to talk to me there always looking at me and i just ignore them and write you age?

No if the girl really likes you then it shouldn't matter about your sexual experience. IF you do not have a lot then it might be a turn on for her(some girls like that) but as long as you is into you and who you are then it shouldn't matter. I am 18 years old!


Im a student at 1st stage in medicine college,I like Genetics soooo much but the problem is we dont have genetics classes or labs in our country!!Iwant to read genetics but I dont know how or what to do .I have noybody to help me can u help me ,guide me,please?Thank you

Do refer to websites, such as Wikipedia, Vivisimo or Google; you will find countless articles, links and so on. Start with any scientific term, such as 'chromosome' and it will get you somewhere. Kimballs Biology Pages are a wonderful bet too.


I`m thinking that it has to do with Spain, but I can't seem to figure out.

The spaniards colonized Mexico and its indigenous peoples starting in the 13 - 1400's.  They slaughtered a great many natives which established their political and cultural dominance.  Since Catholicism was their primary religion and they were devout.. the religious influence spread throughout the land and into what is now Mexican heritage.


I am currently in Spanish 101. It is a pretty simple class, but fast paced. I am in search for a program that will help me learn. My daughter used to have a game that tought spanish, but I cannot find it. I need and will take all suggestions on programs and sites that are of great help, easy to understand and learn from, and would receive a five star rating. I would like to find a site that has sound wavs so I can hear the words. Thanx.

The first link has audio that you listen and repeat. \nThe second link is a spanish-english dictionary.\nThe third link is a spanish placement test to see what level you are at and also a audio site that teaches you words and even the spanish alphabet!   Good luck.

I am doing some homework and i wanted to know what your favorite invention is and who it was invented by, did it cost money?

My favorite invention is women, invented by Nature and costed my heart.


I never thought i'd ever like any of my friends "that way" until one day i gave her a ride home. She fell asleep on the way because it was late and she was leaning against me with her hand on my arm and i liked it. i liked her being that close to me. is that wrong? After that i realized 'i'm into this girl. i think i love her' but i knew i was probably never going to be with her and that hurt so much. it still does. a part of me feels like i have to tell her and i was wondering even though there might not be a chance should i still tell her? should i go on secretly loving her? or should i tell her, risking our friendship? i'm so lost at what to do

Well are you also a female if so I have got the t-shirt for it....  DON'T DO IT!!!!!!  B/c if she don't swing that way than when ya'll get together it will be a very strang feeling in the room.  And more than likely ya'll stop being friends but the again it you still feel very strong about it after a long time the take one hell of a deep breath and go for....Good luck!!!


Hey im 13 and I dont really want to get a teacher for Japanese but i wanted to learn. What would be the easiest way?

Select Run  3. type  "cmd" (without the quotes).  4. select ok.   5. type "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes)  6. write down the ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS information.   \n\nNow go to the computer needing the computer repair.  1. Select Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Network Connections  5. Right click and select properties on Local Area connection.  6. Select Properties on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 7. make sure the ip address is 20 more than the good pc.   So if the good PC is 192.168.1.20, make yours 192.168.1.40 -- type the sub net mask -- type the default gateway -- type the preferred DNS.  Select OK | Select OK again.  Power Down your computer and reboot.   This should help and correct your headache.

I have a cabinet with an angled face.  The depth of the angle is 6" on the long side and 5 3/8" on the other.  In effect, I have a right triangle, the legs of which are 6" and 5 3/8".  What are the two corresponding angles.

use the tangent ratio ( trig function ) or inverse tangent of (6/ (43/8)) OR iNV TANGENT (1.116) = 48.14 degrees and to get the other angle, just subtract it from 90 degrees or 41.86 degrees. hope it helps how I got it. go over the trig function or cohsahtoa rule


Now I am working in a Mortgage Company in Chicago with stable salary and I own a condo and a car. Our company is expanding to Las Vegas, I'd like to know if I shall move to Las Vegas to start a new branch office over there? I will be the office manager, but my income will be commission based with totally new market. I have no idea Las Vegas's real estate industry and mortgage market, and what will be my new career future in Las Vegas? I m a single  girl. Just seperated with BF. Shall I sell my condo in Chicago before I move to Las Vegas or keep it, in case later, i can come back Chicago if the market is not good in LV. How can I keep my condo here in Chicago, rent it out, who take care of the rent and maintainence? It is a big challenge choice for me. thanks and look forward to getting your instant response.

Either way you go. Move or stay. Make sure that you are putting money away for a rainy day.  The mortgage industry goes through some slow downs just like the real estate market.  Where ever you end up make sure you build a network of people that can provide you lenders.  Stay in touch with realtors and builders.  \n\nFrom what I hear, there are a lot of new developments going in around the Los Vegas area.  Sounds like a great opportunity.

Posted an earlier question about how to make a good first impression. now that that's over, now i can't help but ask this question

You really shouldn't kill yourself over a question like this. If she was laughing, if she had a good time, then it went well. It's obvious. There are no trade secrets. If you get yourself worked up over worrying about how the date is going, you'll ruin it. Lean back, treat her like you've known her for years, tease her, be funny. If she laughs and responds, it goes well. Simple.


my friend got diagnosed with parkinsons disease 2 years ago and compared to michael j fox his shakes are alot worse do u think he could be on the wrong kind of meds

Well, there are 6 different types of Parkinson's disease.  Times of stress, illness, and fatigue can worsen symptoms.  I would suggest that he/she speak to their physician regarding what type they have and what all medications are available.  I know that there are many different types, but some can cause pretty bad side effects, so they can be used as a last resort.   Best bet it to check with his doc, if he doesn't get the info he wants, its always a good idea to get a 2nd opinion.  Good LucK!!


Some of the lyrics are "is that enough to take me fishing"  it's about this little boy that gets some money to pay his dad to take him places because his dad is always working.  I THINK that jamie johnson sings it, but I'm not sure.

It's called "The Dollar" by Jamey Johnson.


THE QUESTION :Would that same person that won still win?

Most likely, yes.  Unless you bought the exact same kind of ticket from the exact same role before them in the exact same store, it wouldn't throw it off at all.  The odds of one person buying a ticket and throwing off who won the lottery, let alone winning it themselves are very very slim.

my teacher told me to go to a club but i don't feel to go there because i don't have time and my friends didn't want to go with me. the question is to write something about how they look at you and how is everything there.

Now teh shoe is on the other foot. This is how gay people feel when the walk down the street expressing affection to their partners. They get stares and whispers. Basically they feel out of place. Go to a gay club and see what it feels like to be discriminated against, even if the differences are not so apparent.


the new york yankees have to be the most popular / famous baseball team in the world followed by the LA Dodgers. With the number of top players and world series appearances and being in the two largest media markets, I can't imagine how any other team would be better known around the world.


Not all fish do die when taken out of water. Some fish can survive indefinitely out of water provided they are kept moist with rain or dew.\n\nOf those fish that do die the most common cause of death is suffocation. \n\nFish mainly extract oxygen form the water through their gills. The gills of fish consist of hundreds of thousands of tiny strands, almost like hair. Have you ever seen someone with long hair underwater and noticed that the hair floats out from the head? Well underwater the gill filaments behave the same way. In the water those strands float apart and the fish is able to to extract oxygen from every one of them. \n\nWhen the fish is taken out of water the gill flaments collapse.  Look at a perosn with striaght hair when they climbs out of the water and notice how the hair all sticks together in a sheet? The gills of a fish behave the same way. On dry land the gill filamens of the fish all stik togather. Instead of being able to extract oxygen from each one it can only extract oygen form the ones in the surface layer. That just can't provide the fish with enough oxygen and it suffocates.\n\nContrary to popular belive fish don't technically die because they can only extract oxygen form water. Fish could breath air just fine if the gill filaments didn't collapse. \n\nIOW fsh die on land because air can't support their bodies the way that water can.


a ram, snake, swan, bull, red lion, or a mouse.

The activities of ancient Indians were woven around the animals. Therefore, they knew the happenings of animal world as much as today's ardent student of zoology. This vast knowledge has been recorded in the scriptures of the time. The Upanishads contain detailed descriptions of horses and cattle. The Garudapurana contains life-histories of fishes and turtles. There are also religious books dedicated to a specific animal. Nagamahdimya, Nandi-purdoa, Mayiratrahimya and Pashu-puriltia are only a few of them. These writings are older than other scriptures of the world; they contain very modern concept such as, origin of life, organic evolution and environmental science.\n\nRam- The goat-vehicle of Agni(fire)\nSwan- Vehicle of Saraswati & Brahma\nBull - Vehicle of Shiva\nLion -Vehicle of Kali & durga\nMouse - Vehicle of Ganesha

REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE TARDY FOR CLASS OF WERE JUST ALL OUT BAD IN SCHOOL? I REMEMBER OUR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS WOULD MAKE US COPY A DOCUMENT CALLED, WHY DISRPUT? OR WHY BE TARY? SHEET AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO BEING SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF ANYONE HAS A COPY OF THESE FROMS TO PLEASE POST IT, FOR OLD TIME SAKES!

Some teachers in the school where I work use a system like this.  Instead of having a late student disrupt a class, the student has to fill out a short form before coming into class and leave it in a box by the teacher.  Then, the student just sits quietly and the teacher can record the tardy later.  Saves disruptions from explanations ("I had to go to the bathroom really bad and I didn't know if I could get here in time so I decided to just go since asking you first would just take more time and I didn't want ot miss more of your class than I had to but I really had to go and please don't mark me late again because I'll have detention OK Ms.D??")

i have a basketball that i got as a gift that was signed by a chicago bulls player, but he wasn't a big name player so now i don't remember who it was that signed it, and the only distinguishable part of the signature is the number 31

I had to look around awhile, but on page 96 of 136 (it may say 302), I found this:\n\n31\nJim Fox (1970-72)\nBill Hewitt (1974-75)\nSam Worthen (1980-81)\nGranville Waiters (1986-88)\nBrent Barry (1998-99)\nNorman Richardson (2001-02)\nRoger Mason, Jr. (2002-2003)\n\nHowever, in scanning the team photos, it also looks as though there's a "John Laskowski" wearing a "31" warm-up jersey in the 1976-77 photo.


My dad has been smoke free for 8 years, why has this taken so long to show its' awful self? Our dad has always been our rock and this has really stopped us in our tracks, however he is extremely up beat. We are not asking for a handout just to see if we can find some help. My dad worked for 30 years in the coal field in Eastern Ky. So we know how important it is to support ourselves, but sometimes good people need help.

I am so sorry to hear of your father's diagnosis. All I can think of would be to possibly look into clinical trials where most if not all of the costs for treatment are covered. I wish you and your family well.....

I am doing a study on the effects on teens with peer pressure, both good and bad, I am trying to find some answers, and maybe even some questions.

Removing peer pressure would not provide for an effective working structure.  Here is my thoughts on why...\n\nThe two types of peer pressure are negative and postiive.  Negative seems to be the primairy one that is discussed and that is peer pressure that tears people and situations down.  Removing this, although impossible, would be a benefit.  Even limiting it would be a bonus for students.\n\nThere is also positive peer pressure and this is one of the things that gives students drive to accomplish things.  This is also one of the primairy things that helps adults to innovate.  Positive peer pressure is part of competition. Peer pressure to do better and excel.  Often, we limit ourselves in what we do while what we can do it greater.  positive peer pressure helps overcome the limitations we put on ourselves.\n\nThis is also a big thing for boys.  Since, boys are by nature more agressive than women (multiple studies have shown this to be true at a basic biological level), positive peer pressure helps to feed that and mold it for good purposes.\n\nmy 2 cents.

Ok, I was reading Dan Brown's, "Angels and Daemons", and the driver of this novel was the Matter vs. Antimatter aspect.  Usually good fiction takes the true and twists it ...  so I was wondering if testing on matter and antimatter was really going on, and should I be concerned?

Dan Brown always starts his trash novels with a "disclaimer" that all things within the book are true.  Unfortunately, he misleads a lot of readers with this fake claim.  The part dealing with matter and antimatter is that antimatter is strictly theorectical.  The reason antimatter was theorized was to explain why the observable universe is chaotic and why there is too much measurable energy to equate the creation of planets.  The ever changing antimatter/matter chaos tries to explain this.\n\nThere is real use of magnetic fields to capture sub atomic particles though, but these would still be considered matter becuase they do indeed have atomic weight.  Don't worry too much about it.  The technology to create an antimatter "bomb" will kill many more scientists developing this psuedo science than an actual terrosrist utilizing this drummed up fictional bomb.

Please give me answers because it's for our english project.............PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...................

If it's for your English project, the least you could do is ask a question that makes sense in English.


I get:F.Cordero:Closer,TEX.\nAnd J. Lackey:SP,LAA.\n\nHe gets:T.Gordon:RP,PHI.\nAnd I.Suzuki:OF,SEA.\n\nWho got the better deal. NOTE:I have 4 other outfielders and only 7 total pitchers out of 21 players.

well, Gordon and Suzuki are no where close to Lackey and Cordero, and since you said you have 4 outfielders, I guess you are set. You are gonna hurt a lil in AVG and Hits, but if Ichiro has another off year lik '05, you'll end up looking like a very smart man. Gordon is nothin but a set-up man. If your league counts Holds as a category then he's fine, but other than that K/9 and ERA is about it.... You come off on top.

30 cents for a trip to school and 30 cents back adds up to a lot when you think about it.  It's ridiculous.  He has a job and I don't.

It depends on how your family is structured. If your mom and dad ask you if you've paid him, then that shows that your parents feel that it is right for him to ask you to pay. Are there alternative methods for you to get to school that cost less? \nYour parents should really be paying the 60 cents or subsidizing him for taking you in some way. I never charged my parents or sister and she went to a different school.

This is the definition : "One who believes in the existence of a God or supreme being but denies revealed religion, basing his belief on the light of nature and reason.

No. Deist believe that some power started the world up, but afterwords the deity had no contact with humans. There are not that many Deist left. Most of them switch to atheism or agnostic when more science came out about the beging of the world. Some of our founding fathers were Deist, example George Washington.

My son is applying for the fafsa, but since I was umemployed last year because of car accident, and didn't make any money. So I did not recieve a W2 for to file my taxes ;therefore, I don't have any informations to put down on the 2005 tax return section on the fafsa. Would they deny my son's federal aid. What should I do.

no, he shouldn't be denied. as long as he's registered for the draft (which won't happen) if he's over 18 and has never had a felony, he should be fine. fill it out as honestly and completely as possible.

I'm attractive, it's like the boys repel from me.

First off, congrats on realizing beauty. Most ppl overlook it. Second, you don't really want a guy who only likes you because of how you look. But I'm sure you knew that. To answer your question, it differs from person to person. In my experience, if I have one particular guy I want to notice me, I smile at him, and try to be friendly, and make lots of eye contact. This shows that you're into him, without being creepy. Guys don't generally like girls who hang all over them. If he shows similar signs, then I know he's interested. If you are just trying to find somebody, and don't know how to start, then my advice to you is, STOP! If you just go, and have fun, and make sure that you look great, no matter what, guys will come to you. But if you seem like you're trying too hard, it's not a good vibe. Desperation will call unlikely characters, and those aren't the ones you want hanging around. I hope this helps you're question, and don't give up hope. Mr. Right could be right around the corner! Good Luck!

My sister (I'm her twin brother) got married 3 yrs ago. Before she was married we used to live together and were best friends. Now however, after three years of marriage and the birth of my niece, we don't really talk like we used to. Don't get me wrong, I've been supportive and have helped her care of my neice whenever I can. But I can't help but feel I've been relegated to second class, or that her relationship with me isn't as important as her relationship with her new immediate family. Is there anything I can do or have I lost her to her husband and kid?

If nothing else, you've just got to remember these two things: 1) She will always be your sister and your best friend. Nothing and no one will change that. On the other hand 2) She now has a family. Just as you might one day have one, it is important that you accept that your sister has new obligations now to her husband and child.  If you still want to be a great friend to her, be sure to remind her of how much you are there for her and of how much she will always mean to you. Don't count yourself as being second class; you are in a class all your own and it is a blessing of a class to be in!

decadences, and at Walt Disney World where they run around naked and perform sexual acts in front of peoples families and children just to express themselves all in the name of freedom? If a heterosexual couple did a sexual act out in the open like that, they would be thrown in jail for indecent exposure. Neither to me is right, but why do they get to do this and it's considered ok because "we don't want to discriminate against them", please help me to understand this? Any crazy, sexually perverted answers, or cuss words will be reported.

wow, that's, WOW. where did you hear that?  I actually live very close to disney, and know many many people that work there. i have been there during "Gay days" though it was coincicidence. I saw alot of red shirts, and some intersting people, but NEVER anything lewd.  Being  local makes you very aware that disney does anything and everything to uphold their standards and reputation. they would NEVER allow anything illegal on their property, trust me, i would never be aware of all the inside info, if i didnt live here, like i said you have so many friends that work there, they talk and they know.\nand i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.\nif your information was correct, i would have to agree w/ your horror, but i would look into you source. keep me posted if you will,\nrespectfully,\nprego.\n\nSonsofthunder i must say, reading your words,\n"gay haters" & "gay lovers" i found that stated quite interestingly. should we be divided as Christians because some of us have a stronger need to accept those whos paths have differed from ours, just because we dont understand their love, and would rather focus on the acts they perform in their bedroom, than where their hearts lie? That is truly for God to judge. You say that Jesus loves their soul, i just think we need to think about how he would treat them.  If our hearts, as the arms of God, are not open to those who need him most, how will they ever feel they could possibly be accepted.  You must know there are so many homosexuals that find the Lord, and if you truly believe in ministering to others if its your calling, you can not judge or stereotype. people stereotype all walks of life, and understandingly despise some of their stereotypical behavior, however you must keep in mind, these human beings may not be where you are in your walk, grew in different soil, and who are we to think that they may never be, a faithful man or woman in Christ? as a minister they may be looking to you to understand themselves better. How can you categorize people based soley on their\nsexual desires, without looking into an individuals heart? Like pediphiles and homosexuals, when they fall into 2 different categories. categorizing them  together will only provoke a lot of defensive reactions. I respect and understand that we must follow the word, i just think we need to think about our approach. The things that the young bucks dont know about? you can trust me, i know, i am neither a young buck nor have i lived a sheltered life, i just find myself looking at the heart first, and trying to understand on an individual basis, why their soul is filled with what it is.\nThis is one of the best websites i have found on understanding the psychological aspects of homosexuality. \nhttp://www.pureintimacy.org/gr/getting_started/\nit is Christian based and in no way condones homosexuality.\nI believe if we can help people understand what they are feeling, they can start to heal, instead of finger pointing "nasty perverted sinner" in their face. as far as pediphiles do go, they are truly and deeply psychologically hurting people and ruining lives. My grandfather molested my mother for years and shes very mentally unstable, and chronically depressed from the anger and feelings shes had to deal with, even now at 67, shes still affected. my grandfather was not gay. he was a pediphile, and though i believe it is a very serious and sick disease, i believe with God and God only ALL things are possible, it would be ultimatley up to him to forgive either way, no matter what the sin. \nWe all want to make the world a better place, and spread Gods word, and Jesus' love for us....and we all may approach from different angles, we just need to think about who we might be hurting.


i have a freind that said they like me but the problem is i like her BEST freind and i dont want to hurt her feelings what do i do? how do i get her freind to like me?

Ignore her friend and just focus on the one you love. You control your life. And whoever loves you can't do anything about it if you don't love them so just ignore them and focus on the one you really love. However, you can't also do anything about it if she also doesn't love you.


Saruman asks this in the first scenes of Return of king. Theodin  starts yelling at Saruman about when they could have peace, and he says something about "Chimets". I don't even know if I spelled it right....whatever a Chimet may be. Can anyone help? It's kinda buggin' me. Hahaha.

Saruman asked King Theoden for peace, Theoden got mad and reminded him of all the deaths (murder) that Saruman caused to Rohans and all his people. Only peace Saruman was going have with Theoden was that he pay for all these deaths, if Saruman hang from the gibbets of the Hornburg's gates (like Theoden's Solders, who where hewn on it) and the crows have sport with him.  \nGibbets-  Turn on your subtitles on your dvd player or captions on your tv.\n\nGibbets:  \n1. A device used for hanging a person until dead; a gallows. \n2. An upright post with a crosspiece, forming a T-shaped structure from which executed criminals were formerly hung for public viewing.

I am on parole and can not enter into a program such as A.A without parole knowing. If they know , they will know I have been drinking over the past three years.The test that they give me only pick up drugs.They have  not picked up any drugs but I am still not allowed to drink.

First off, I don't know how your PO would know if you went to AA.  It's anonomous, that's what the second A is for.  They don't keep records of members, and they don't talk to the police.  Furthermore, I don't think they'll lock you up for going to AA given that it means you're getting your life together.  Besides which they couldn't arest you as attending an AA meeting does not actually prove you've been drinking - it would never hold up in court.  Also, I believe they are not allowed to use the information that you were attending AA meetings in court as that information is considered to be privileged.\n\nI think it's great that you want to stop drinking, and you should go to meetings.  If you're really determined, you may be able to find the 12 steps online and work through them on your own, but I think the support group aspect of AA would help a lot.


No charge to see the information after the person is located

Try Googling them. If they have a profession they might have a website.\n\nOther than that, it's pretty hard to find some. If you know their zip code you can use Google SMS to find people of their name in that area, or if you know their phone number you could also use Google SMS. \n\nApart from that, it costs you.


I have filled out several and all I get is a thank you , nothing else. (oh yeh e-mails lots of e-mails) Does anyone know a good one to do?

I think it's hard to make much $ from those.  I got a free subscription to Fhm magazine. That was my best "take." But good luck, it can keep you from bein bored. Some surveys offer reward points.  Surveyscout.com gets you started for a fee. Tons of emails will come if you answr.  You might try mysurvey.com but that just gave me a deadend. good luck.


As with all professions, there are people who really like what they do AND are good at teaching. There are others who like what they do BUT are not any good at explaining anything, or simply lack the knowledge (believe me, I work at a school for teachers and some are abysmally ignorant!! and still get to go out and teach). And there are others who don´t like teaching but have to do it (because of the pay, or academic requirements). Those are the worst, I think. \nBut luckily you'll have a good mix of different kinds of teachers. Next time that you feel like attacking a teacher, please stop and think that maybe he/she's just tired and disheartened, and needs some good attitude from the students. I know that a good response works for me!
