Thousands dead because of YOU.  \n\nGo ahead and try to justify yourselves so I can have a good laugh at you sectarian scumbags.

Interesting (and nauseating) to sift through the illiterate anglophobic rants of the terrorist supporters who've contaminated this perfectly legitimate question with their hateful bile. The truth is that just about the only silver lining to the horrific atrocities committed against innocent civilians on 9/11 was that it did indeed awaken many Americans -- including Irish-Americans who had previously supported the IRA -- to the ugly truth about terrorism. It matters not what your cause is nor how legitimate your grievances, terrorist acts committed against individuals or states, civilian or military, are absolutely unacceptable. While it is doubtless true that there are still die-hard IRA supporters amongst America's Irish-Catholic population, they are very definitely a rapidly shrinking minority. The very fact that the IRA finally renounced terrorism and has moved forward with their own commitment to the Good Friday peace accords is proof of the fact that their support from donor organizations in the States and elsewhere has been evaporating. \n\nIn summation, I am not interested in hearing any further rationalization for the armed struggle (read terrorist activities) of the IRA against the British government and people. I am thankfully not alone in this view. Whatever your cause and however sympathetic it may or may not be, the use of terrorist violence to achieve your aims is condemned almost universally. The horrors of 9/11 directly contributed to that viewpoint and that is the only good thing to come of all that tragic and unnecessary carnage.\n\nAs to the issue of a united Ireland, take it from this American of mixed English, Irish and Scottish heritage, it is inevitable but it will happen through peaceful means only. The IRA has finally figured that out and it's high time the rest of you did, as well. A negotiated peace, an end to terrorist campaigns, the cessation of sectarian violence and a common will to live in peace and harmony will ultimately achieve what a vicious and violent chapter of Anglo-Irish history failed completely to achieve: a united Ireland and lasting peace. \n\nEnd note: Being a student of history who comes from a long line of English, Irish and Scottish Catholics, yet being an American no longer affiliated with any religion whatsoever, I feel well qualified to state my case in an impartial manner. Feel free to disagree if you wish, but peace, understanding and reconciliation will accomplish what hatred, violence and terrorism so abjectly failed to. If we've learned nothing else from 9/11, let us at least agree on this much.


Will Criminal Conviction ruin a people's life? I personally think so, but what evidence do I have to support my view? \nI have no ideas, but I have to write a 700-words with this topic. \nWhat do you guys think?\nThanks a whole lot!

only if you insist on working for someone else the rest of your life.\ni used to be the guy with the suit & tie. i got busted at a legalize pot rally when i was 22. the court scared me into going allong with whatever they said. later, i was in county jail, bored, my choice was bad romance books or legal research. i became a jailhouse lawyer & got pretty savy on texas 78th legislature. i stopped including my info on resumes & nobody seemed to care. it hasnt affected me at all since 1998 when my probation let out. i had the  most trouble with day to day life during probation because im expected to be at meetings, classes, service, ect jobs be damned. there alot of cliches but its all excuses to keep me in their loop. my po would revoke because he felt like it saying i was behind on payments or didnt go to a class. ive since stopped asking people if i can work for them & work for myself. not because of my convictions but because its a better life.


I've seen some questions claiming to be from former islamists who have left their religion after discovering some alleged pecadillos by the founder. \n\nI thought embracing Islam was like joining a bikie gang, the mafia, or the CIA--the only way out is in a pine box. \n\nWill these people be tracked down by some Iyatollah and disappear, like their questions have from Yahoo Answers?

Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them nor will He guide them to the right way. (4:138) \nThis verse proclaims that persons who renounce Islam have the opportunity to re-enter Islam if they so choose. This verse disproves the assertion that according to the Holy Quran an apostate should be put to death. Were death the automatic punishment for an apostate then there arises no question of having the opportunity to join Islam again. This verse mentions apostates who again accept Islam. \nThere is no mention in the Holy Quran or anywhere else of any punishment for an apostate which may be meted out to him by any other person. The consequences of his apostasy in this world and in the next life lie solely in the hands of God. Man is free to accept or reject whatever beliefs he chooses. God says in the Holy Quran: \n\nThere is no compulsion in religion. (2:257) \nIt is the truth from your Lord; wherefore let him who will believe and let him who will disbelieve. (18:30) \nIslam recognizes the right of freedom of conscience and freedom of belief and that as far as one's religious belief is concerned one is answerable to God alone. No man has the right to punish another for his choice of belief. There is absolutely no compulsion whatsoever in Islam and no punishment of any kind permitted in the Holy Quran for apostasy. \nHuman rights are laid own in the Holy Quran which guarantee man the right of perfect freedom of faith and conscience. In such matters God is the Judge - not man. Our constant prayer is Guide us on the Right Path. (1:6) - Amen.


i have never felt comfortable with this guy. i can be myself to this guy instead of someone im not. i feel comfortable and i love to talk to him. what is that mean???? idk is it like best friend and stuff or what? im confused


Don't you think it would be easier for "those people" to skip your question if they don't like it?  Do you think they have some kind of complex that involves bossing people around and this is their only opportunity to feel better about themselves?  Do you think it's appropriate to tell them to go to hell?

yea, what gottianatomy said!!! what moron would come on here to ask medical or legal advise???? nurse:"doctor...what should we do?!!" doctor:"nurse, hold on, i'll ask on Y!A!!" i'm on here for fun, i have enough stress and bull$hit in real life! why can't these miserable people, with their bad attitudes try to be "big boys and girls", skip the question that gets their panties in a knot, and find a question suitable to their liking??? they are so miserable, it makes their day to lash out, and it makes them feel superior to ABUSE the report abuse button.the only things i find offensive on here is the scum child pedophiles, and the evil racists. life is too short!! i'm here for fun!!! i think your questions, and gottianatomy, bad karma, dj meirs, and many more are a blast!! you guys make my day!! KEEP ASKING!!!


Anything will help i just need some hints

I would start off by thinking about the specific reasons a person might want to go back to college. This depends in large part on where the person is in their life and what they seek to accomplish. \n\nFor example, Madeleine Albright raised her entire family before she decided to go back to school and finish her PhD (I believe Political Science). In her example, we can say that she put off her career goal in order to raise a family. I think many of us will put off something like college or graduate school because we wish to have a family. Or, we might simply never have had an opportunity to go to college because of financial reasons. Many older Americans who are just now becoming affluent are finding that completing a college degree- even if they really don't need it- is still something rewarding. A college degree confers a unique and honored status to most people.\n\nAnd of course, some people just want to have a new direction in life. They discover- perhaps through a separate career- that they would like to go into a new field. Perhaps a nurse who seeks doctors every day decides that a medical career might take her in a new direction that she never before contemplated but now believes would be rewarding to her.\n\nOr, a person is not satisfied that their current job is not very lucrative, and a college degree offers upward economic and social potential.\n\nTo sum up:\n-People might postpone college because of family responsibilities or financial reasons.\n-A college degree confers a certain uique status; sometimes it is as much symbolic as it is practical.\n-Many people find out that they want a new career, and a college degree (often a second degree) will allow them to do this.\n-A college degree allows people to move up, economically and possibly also socially.\n\nI hope this helps.


can anyone help me with these math problems\n\nwrite an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is perpindicular to the graph of each.\n\n1.(b,-2),y=3/5x-4\n\n2(3,7),y=3/4x-1

1. perpendicular to the graph means that the slope will be the negative reciprocal. \n\nso the slope will be -5/3\n\nthen just use the point slope equation y - y1 = m(x - x1)\n\ny - (-2) = (-5/3)(x - b)\n\nthen clean it up to get...\n\ny = (-5/3)x + (5/3)b - 2\n\n\nand the same process can be repeated for the second


I never had the chance to tell me how I feel and I don't intend to do that. I just wanna carry on with my life as if I have never met him while the happy memories with him can be with me forever. My heart is breaking. I know it's naive but I just cannot control.....what should I do now?

I know how you feel.  I am going through that right now.  I just graduated college and I never got a chance to tell the guy I liked for 2 years that I liked him.  Our relationship is confusing.  Sometimes it seemed like he liked me other times it seemed like he hated me.  That's why I didn't pursue the relationship.  Like my friend tells me, "If we are meant to be together, we will be together.  God will see to it."

These crimes should all be given the death penalty or life sentences without the possibility of parole.  I can't understand why we let these people out.  It makes me angry when I see on the news a criminal who kills people or hurts children getting arrested and he has already been arrested previously for the same crime.

ACLU, defense lawyers, and the psychiatric profession.  They have convinced many people that these sick freaks can be reformed.


I was invoved in car accident 2 years ago and the other driver was at fault. Her insurance company paid me for the damages for the car and all was settled. I got a notice hand delivered from the other drivers lawyers. And basicaly she is sueing me after like 2 years. Can she win?

In most states the statute of limitations is 3 years. If she was marked at fault and she is sueing you, then she has a fool for a lawyer.  Turn the papers over to the insurance company you had at the time of the accident. You are nothing more than a witness in the insurance company's case.  they will call you if they need you.\n\nEven if she does win, you don't pay the insurance company does.


i have looked all over, and apparently it's a great video....but i can't find it, so i need a bit of help

I live in the state of ca.  Also, does someone have to pass a credit check to be added to a lease and who do you file a complaint with against an apt manager. any answers or suggestions would be appreciated

If you mean can a landlord ban someone from the premises without legal action, then you bet they can.  They can also back up their assertions with legal action on the person that violates that order and/or the person that harbors them via their lease. As for the credit check that would be the landlords discretion. If they don't want the credit check they don't have to have one but they can't be added to your lease without one if you want one either.\n\nTo file a complaint use the better business bureau for your area.


No subject in particular, just generally.

Unless there's not a lot of material, never study the day before. split up the material over a time period that would allow you to study for it without feeling overloaded. What worked for me is reviewing all the material 1 or 2 days before the exam after having studied it all. \nSay you have 5 chapters for an exam. \nDay 1 study chapters 1 & 2, highlighting the important facts. \nDay 2 study chapters 3 & 4. \nDay 3 study chapter 5. \nDays 4 and/or 5 review the material that you highlighted. \nSometimes writing important notes while studying helps you remember.


why the idols are robbed and where they are used and what is the logic behind the older the idol the more demand in the international market

the older the idols, more the value it fetches illegally or legally... so if you have 1 you are considered rich. idols are stolen and then sold in black market to the person giving the highest price for it. then that person keeps it in his private collection for his own viewing.. many famous people have done that with rare paintings too.

Is it possible to get an interview before Oct 01, 2006 since the start date of the H1B status would be Oct 01, 2006

This is a tricky one, Your not supposed to be able to get an interview until Oct 01, However if you call the US embassy in you country of residence, they may give you an interview.\nWhen getting mine, I applied for an interview in May, got an appointment for Aug, and the H1b was also issued in Aug, 2 months before it should have been valid. This made the visa 3 years and 2 months. \n\nGood luck, it's tough to get into the US LEGALLY.

There is a cream which reduces the sensations and retards the male orgasm.  If that is your problem, go visit a drug store.


The snow in my town melts the same time it always did and the spiders in my yard are still the same size.  Is this like another y2k scare?  Or ducktape story?  Or the end of the world?  Or.... you get the idea.

The spiders in my back yard have reached the size of small cats.  I'm not sure if it's global warming or the steroids my wife dumped out last year.


Hi, my birthname is Zoah.My mother cannot remember where she got it from, but the vicar who baptised me told me it means "fighter".I've never met or heard of anyone else with that name, except for on a gravestone near where my greatgrandparents are buried, and there its the middle name of a woman called Harriet.Can anyone shed some light on the meaning or origins of this name for me?

It probably comes from people asking expectant mothers, `so ah, what are you going to name it?'.


Too many teens are getting into trouble and people have been jailed for rape b/c they met a young girl on MySpace.What do you think.

i dont think everyone who is associated with myspace should be punished because of the basic stupidity or immorality of others. myspace should be treated as a simple website where people meet new friends and reminisce with old ones but instead it is used by perverts and young people who want to explore things they know they shouldnt. for me myspace is the only way i can communicate with most of my out-of-state friends since im an army brat who moves around alot so i need it. people just need to teach their children how to stay safe. we also need to find and keep perverts off the streets.

Ronaldinho is the best athelete that I've seen i a while.I mean...the guy can do anything and makes people look stupid..who doesn't love that?

He is the best of the current players. For mine, Pele is probably the best ever. Pele is often considered the complete midfield and attacking player, he was completely two-footed, a clinical finisher, exceptionally skilled at dribbling and passing, and a remarkably good tackler for a forward. He was famed for his speed and kicking strength and scored 1,281 goals over the course of his career. Along with Maradona, he was FIFA player of the century but Pele was the better sportsman for mine.

which country's behavior is like a gay now?\n\nand which country is doing things now as masturbating?

I take offense to this question. *reported*


what do you wish men would do for you,and what do we do right in bed.and what can we do to make you feel more comfortable,with us and yourselves? i believe it has to do with more heart and listening,than with looks and penis size.am i correct?i know each woman is different,just want to know your feelings and opinion on these questions.

Many questions here.\n\n"women what is your biggest complaint,about men when it comes to making love?"\n- take your time, enjoy it, don't stress, the more foreplay the better for both. Don't do all the work, let me satisfy you too.\n\n"what do you wish men would do for you,and what do we do right in bed"\n- I need the connection, i need to know it is more then just sex, I need it to be lovemaking. I love kissing, I love eye contact.\n\n"what can we do to make you feel more comfortable,with us and yourselves?"\n- accept our flaws, accept that we have a few extra pounds, tell us we are beautiful, tell us you love our hearts. Spend extra time loving each other before making love.\n\n"i believe it has to do with more heart and listening,than with looks and penis size.am i correct?"\n- Very Correct (for me anyways) feel the connection... enjoy the bonding, enjoy the loving.\n- to me penis size doesnt matter, I have been with a large sized man and an average sized man... to be honest I find more enjoyment with the average sized man for many reasons. \n\nI think alot of your questions have to relate to the circumstance. What someone is looking for in a 1 night stand and what a person is looking for in a long term relationship will be completely different. I have based my answers on Long Term.\n\nGood luck to you!


In Bangladesh Muslims traditionally slaughter one goat for a baby girl and two for a baby boy during a feast arranged for the new born, usually within a month of the birth, which they say - "AKIKA".\n\nIf this traditions is in accordance with Islamic Laws? Or, this is something that was generated locally in Bangladesh for whatever reasons?\n\nIs there anything in Islamic Laws similar to this tradition, which has been made obligatory for all Muslims that have the solvency?\n\nAppropriate referral to Islamic books would be appreciated.

There no law about it. You do it if you can afford it. I guess your desire to celebrate the birth of a child is only normal, right? And the slaughtering of a goat or cow is done on everyday basis, right? The reason for Aqiqah is basically to buy a goat,  and feast with your neighbours or even given to the poor. Its not a must, just a celebration. Of course centuries ago, people dont call the catering service to have a feast, they would have a sheep or a cow to prepare for a feast. People now just follow traditions.


I'm looking to import sugar to the US market, New York City specifically. Thank you.

You are unable to buy one pound of sugar at wholesale. The quantity you would need to purchase would be much greater than that.\n\nFor true wholesale prices on raw sugar check out the commodity markets and sugar contracts.\n\nThat is a place to start.


the same song loops over and over until it switches to a different one.

Recent studies have cast some light on the phenomemon of\nsong-stickage. Although the 'why' is still under investigation, the\n'where' seems to be the auditory cortex of the brain. There is even a\nname for songs that tend to stick in your head. They are called\n"earworms."\n\n"If you've ever gotten a song stuck in your head, you know how\nannoying it can be. Researchers at Dartmouth University can't stop the\naggravation, but they do have a good idea what parts of the brain keep\nreplaying the music.\n\nUsing brain imaging techniques and a good CD collection, they found\nthat the auditory cortex, the same part of the brain that passes\ninformation from the ears to the brain, also holds onto musical\nmemories.


You said i nthe atheist questions that we are "jealous of your strength." I find all my strength from within myself, I know that when someone dies, I have the strength to cope, not some creator who is there to solve problems for me. Why do you look down on us, instead of getting along? Even after such an offensive question, I can look past it, get over it, and still respect your views, so why can't you give the same respect by not stereotyping someone who you know nothing about further than the fact that we don't believe in god. ; )

please answer this question as more formal as you can because i will use your answer for an excersise in my university...thank you

Dear Giorgos,\nYour pertinent question and urgent curiosity has unfortunately, been buried under more legitimate concerns. If you don't get an answer within 24 hours, it is best to delete your query and ask again.\nGiorgos, I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal opinion. You have been foolish, Giorgos. Very, very foolish. Anyone can see that the purpose of Yahoo! Answers is to serve as a modern chatroom. More and more, Java programming is becoming less and less supported, there is no other method of bringing people together in a social environment than to create PHP scripts where the "thinking" can be done on the server rather than on your machine. With that in mind, Giorgos, you should interrogate the shallow-minded participants of Yahoo! Answers with matters that appeal to their common denominator. Questions such as, "How long is the normal tally whacker?" or, "My boyfriend says I should dump my hubby, what you think?"..., would get you a substantial number of replies.\n\nGive up your pursuit of truth and petty wonders, Giorgos. Quit asking bland, colorless questions. Are you naive? No person who is capable of giving you the answer you hoped for can last while reading though a heap of puddings, pies and pastry. I'm only doing you a favor, Giorgos, by giving you a proper admonishment you can now begin to formulate an apology. When you are ready, send your atonement to http://surveys.yahoo.com/user_ad_feedback\n\nAnd Giorgos, if you insist upon asking serious questions, remember that a few good jolts from a peace officer's tazor should bring you around to your senses. Please, check your spelling and throw some slang into the mix so you don't offend any of the egos lurking, waiting to pounce on you with crass, thoughtless one-liners.\n\nThank you Giorgos, and have a great day! -Zack


Please include a short explanation of why you see them as a success.

My father.  He is a preacher,and a special education teacher.  He cannot teach Christ at school, but he is retiring this year and somehow just by how he is all the notes from kids and teachers has commented how much they have learned about the love of Christ just by watching him as a person, a gentlemen, and how he deals with the events of every day.  That's success - letting Jesus shine through even when in an environment Jesus has been banned from.


I could see if it was to get back at someone you know, but why do it to random people? Causing problems isn't funny, it makes you look like a really big a**. What is your opinion

Well why do some people enjoy stealing? It's pretty much the same thing! Why should I pay for something when I can hack it to work?\nIf you're refering to those that hack into govermental websites to substract secret documents, or fake something, they are not doing this just for the fun of getting caught!

When ever I test anything there, it's always really faint and really fast.\n\nAnywhere else, it is normal, clear and decently-paced.\n\nI'm not fat, my arms are pretty muscular.\n\nIs it possible that my arm just... sucks?\nThanks!

It depends on where on your arm you are taking it.  You may just be pressing to hard if you test on your wrist.  Try the inside of your elbow, this is the same artery used to test blood pressure.  Hope this helps.


I have a friend over, that has one of those foam poles from the basketball games.\nhe keeps whackin people over the head with it, we all told him to stop, but he kept doing it.\nso after the 50th time he did it to me i took it from him and beat the sh*t out of him with it\nhe finally stopped.\neven though I know violence isnt the answer it made him stop\nwas i wrong to do this\n\nPS this guy is like 28

Why did you tolerate 50 times?  Yes it was the right thing to do.  But why wait for the 50th time. Why?


CPU temperature 53c at start up and quickly rises to 60c....\nCausing system to run slowly. Many thanks in advance for assistance!

liquid cooling systems are good, there is also an a/c unit that will fit into a spare 5 1/4 slot if you have one @ www.thinkgeek.com. but never ever run the computer without all panels/covers in place this will cause the fans to work harder and they can burn out faster. computers are designed to be enclosed.


I have read a lot of questions on here from very young girls asking "My boyfriend wants me to have sex, but I am a virgin", "Does sex feel good? - I am a virgin and don't know" Has the world really gotten this bad that girls who are 12, and 13 are having sex? Where are their parents? This really shocks me...

There has been a decline in general American morality that is especially evident in the media. Millions of people watch Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, for example, including children. These shows abound with adultery and the fallacious concept that being in love merits sexual activity. It's really disheartening to know that many girls as young as fourth graders regularly wear thongs and watch Sex and the City. And I don't even want to get started on pop and rap...


I'm working on a research paper about John Dalton. If you know anything about the following questions, please tell me. Thank you =)\n- Who was John Dalton?\n- What historical or cultural persons, events, or factors influenced him?\n- Besides chemistry,, what other scientific areas were studied by him? What are of some his major contributions in each study?


I argued w/ my husband the other day because he said he wondered if there were more Catholics than Christians? I thought a Christian is anyone who believed Jesus was the son of God? \n\nMy hubby isn't the only one, a lot of people don't include Catholics in Christianity....why?

You can't lump all Catholic into the same catagory.  Jesus said, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."  John 10:16.  He was talking about true believers in Christ, no matter where they are found.  He is bringing them into one fold with one shephard, which is Jesus Christ, not a man representing him.  It is true that if the head is corrupt the whole body is corrupt, but doesn't mean God still can't find sheep there and bring them out. Some have never made a commitment to Jesus Christ, but Christ's Holy Spirit is still influencing their heart toward him and will eventually be in that number when Jesus his people.  There are those who say they are born again Christians but will find themself outside heaven, because just counted one that one time experience, and falsely thinking that was all it took to get to heaven.  They never took the time to know him or serve him.  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Joh 15:2.  If you are not bearing fruit you get taken away and burned. .


? is how old are you if he is in his teens or early 20's he is too young to take on responsibility.\n\nThe proper way for you to do this is to have your boyfriend go to your father and ask your hand in marriage.  This way this shows that he is a man and is asking not just doing which will only piss your father off for you are his little girl.\n\nThink very clearly the consequences of marriage it all looks fun but if you and your boyfriend fight now and no communication then you are just in for disaster.  Also get your careers going first.  If I could do it all again I would have finished college, traveled with my husband and then decide to have kids when that right time came.


OMG I just walked out on my husbands friend pissing in my kitchen sink!?\n\nHe didn't se me, cuz I ran back down the hall- all quiet like--, then waited a minute, made my door squeak-loud, and went back out to only then to catch him drinking out of the milk jug! I dont know if he was sleep walking or what!!! But should I tell him I saw it after already acting like I didn't?


Geeks,\n\nAs learned from the book, application is designed to talk to database if you want to record/manipulate data. They show you how to connect to access db, MsSQL, and so forth.\n\nBut if I purchase a standalone software like quickken, they don't even care if I have any db in the machine. Does quicken already have a built-in database? \n\nOr if you write a business application to manage invoices, this application should work on the Cust machine, regardless they have db or not.\n\nNeed to understand that concept. Any thought?\nThanks

Normally private software have their own way to store data through proprietary format files.\n\nAn Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server can do the same thing (and often better) than those proprietary format but you need to buy them (and they are expensive).\n\nIn fact, Access and SQL Server is normally used by business to keep their information about their customer. I won't tell you the difference between all those databases but if you really need something to work with, I suggest you SQL Server 2005 Express which is totally free.

eating ice damages the enamel on your teeth or can break a tooth.  The ice turn into water and doesn't change your body.  There have been some studies suggesting a deficiency of a vitamin or mineral in the body but I think it is mostly habit.


new technology devices or computers aiding to better healthcare

new technologies such as increased point of care testing enables nurses to perform lots of testing that would normally only be done in a medical laboratory. Before you know it they will have a box kit lab and lab technitians will no longer be needed


i'm an american who went to university at McGill (montreal).  i finished my degree in three years because of AP credits, but my overall tutition bill was about $21,000 canadian dollars.  at the time (2001-2004) the exchange rate for the u.s. dollar was much better than it is now, and it was only about 15-16 grand total.  my housing was off-campus, but was still pretty reasonable (maybe another 5,000 canadian a year).  in terms of a part-time job, you can get one on campus, provided you check the right box on your student visa (i would recommned checking the box whether or not you plan on getting one right away, as you may change your mind, but if you don;t check yes it's too bad).  to get a job off campus you have to have a worker's visa, which would be much harder to get.  if you'd like any more info, feel free to post as such in the details, and i can get in contact with you.

My dad disowned me as a child and now that I am grown and is a professional. He's going around telling everyone "This is my daughter". A few weeks ago he had called me asking me for money to help him buy a car and right now all I can remember is me, 11 years old, listening as he is telling some folks outside his house.

In a situation like this you personally need to talk to your father and tell him that you don't appreciate him taking advantage of you. Tell him that you forgive him for disowning you as a child and that you love him even though he missed out on the finer points in your life. Give him the money because you cant put a price on love. If you don't then you may regret it for the rest of your life. I cant guarantee that this would make you feel better because i don't know. This is coming from a 16 year old and the way I see is either you could take the advise and run with it or leave it to rot for eternity.


I am from Kentucky. I live in the city. It's pretty wild here.

San Diego California, It's beautiful here. The ocean, palm trees, great sunny weather, lots of fun stuff to do, great cultural diversity. You should come visit sometime!


We know each other for th past 1.5 years bt it has been only 4 mnths tht my BF proposed me.My BF said tht he loves me but his behaviour is not wht i expect. He does nt call me up and only waits fr my calls. Does nt SMS me, even if I SMS him he never replies back. He does not feel like meeting me or takes any intiative for the same. Its always me to tell him "Lets meet up". He is 1 year younger to me. On my question of getting married he has very clearly told me tht he will get married at the age of 30 and nw that he is 25 and I am 26. So more 5 years to go. I said i don't mind waiting. So he said that he does not want anybody to wait for him and thats why accrdng to him if there is a nice proposal for me then I should gt married. And if I am still single till he is 30 thn he will surely approach me first for marriage. He has family problems and his dad will be the biggest hindrance for our marriage due to religion differences. Please advice.

First of all, religious differences are a major concern. If his religion forbids marrying out, you won't have a happy marriage as far as his parents go... Take that into SERIOUS consideration.\n\nNow the way he treats you, I mean, I know you love him but he really doesn't seem that interested in you. Why would he want to wait for five years? He thinks his parents will somehow approve of you in five years and now they just can't see the situation clearly?\n\nSend me a private message if you want to discuss this further. Just give this some really serious thought, marriage is forever and the last thing you need is a divorce a few months after getting married AFTER waiting years and years!


everytime in front of collegues, he speaks to me like crap. 1 on  1 he's fine, i'd like to know to handle him in front of others, putting him in his place without being at his level. i need some assertion. help

Train yourself to be ready to be good with comebacks and do it confidently.  It's hard to do but well worth the effort.\n\nIf you don't like the job, find another job and give this jerk the snubbing of his life!  That will REALLY put him in his place!


For real, who do you wish to? Do you just say it to yourself or do you say "Dear God, I wish that blah blah blah"?

A little bit of all three and hope for the best.


What does it mean when a you aska guy if they have a girlf friend and the say they dont(but they really do) and then their friend tells you that they really do i am so confused

They probably dont want to admit it. Or because they are "ashamed" to admit about their girlfriend that is a stupid guy if a guy is like that.

Ive always been the kinda person that takes critizism/rejection very seriously.Not with love but with every day situations,work,school...etc.. What can you do to react without being so sensitive and just be normal about it ?

Study comedy and then stand up and try to make people laugh.  It's very hard and people won't hesitate to sigh with boredom or boo out loud.\n\nWhen you can handle that, you've mastered the skill of takiung rejection lightly.


I like riddles, they make me smile. :) \n\nIf a farmer has five haystacks in one field and four haystacks in another field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in a third field?

it would take more than a riddle about a haystack to make me smile.. you must be easy to please HAHA :)


I have lost all sense of community, familiarity, and place.  The older you get the harder it is to make new friends.  Do you agree or disagree?  Tell me what to do somebody!


people think their little brats but their really nice \nyou just dont know what they go through \nyour not the one bustiing your butt at the gym 7 hrs a week r u no

No way not at all! From reading your question, I can tell that you are probably not one of the cheerleaders that do it for the popularity. There are two cheerleaders:\n1. People that do it to get a boyfriend and to be more popular\n2. People that work their butts off everyday at practice, and that know that it's not all about the skirts and cheering for hot guys\n\nSo type 1 cheerleaders might be a little bitchy, but I am betting that you are type 2 cheerleader, so no I don't think you are mean. I DO however think that you are probably the best cheerleader on your team/squad because you take it seriously. GOOD LUCK!


I was told he had pneumonia last month they saw it on a cat scan of his abdomen when they were trying to diagnose his stomach pain. he was treated for it with antibiotics but still has cough and stomach ache. He has had this problem off and on for about 6 months now he vomits mucas often and is woried about going to school when his stomach hurts because he is embarrased to vomit at school. His lungs never sound bad when we are at the dr's but his dr said they sounded fine when he had the pneumonia. any ideas would be great.

It sounds like he could have some type of food or environmental allergy. Try bringing him for a second opinion.


Where can I find premade ASP.NET Master pages that I can use as a template for developing ASP.NET Web applications (ASP.NET 2.0)?

I have children, and I recently got married.  I want to become a police officer.  I entered the academy, but left...I want to return after I graduate from college, do you think its rigth for women to become police officers?

Absolutely!  I may be bias, but I am going through recruit right now and I love it.  Some of the best officers I know are women, some of the most intelligent to.  \n\nWhen it comes to policing, women can do what men can do.  \n\nGranted I don't have children and am unmarried, but talk it over with your spouse and if your children are old enough, with them.  Get their perspectives, tell them this is what you really want, and go for it if they agree.


If so will it produce a full 20 horsepower of tork?

The answer may be yes or no.  The 20 HP steam engine either exhausts to atmospheric pressure (wasting the steam) or to a steam condenser (which recovers the steam for reuse and produces a much lower discharge pressure).  Onboard seagoing vessels, triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines used the lower discharge pressures produced by a condenser to extract more mechanical energy from the steam.  Almost all steam turbines onboard a ship also discharge to steam condensers to extract more energy.\n\nTo be comparable to a steam plant with a steam condenser, the "air-driven" steam engines would have to discharge into vessels maintained under partial vacuum by huge vacuum pumps.  Therefore the air and steam driven engines might produce similar amounts of mechanical power (and torque) but would likely differ because of the thermodynamic properties of air as opposed to steam.\n\nThe steam engines derive power from water heated in a boiler fired by an oil-consuming furnace.  The "air driven" steam engine would require a huge air compressor and vacuum pump to operate (but that was not your question?).\n\nAnother important consideration is that the steam is very hot and contains more energy than air at the same pressure (unless the air is also heated?).\n\nYour question is very interesting but the answer is not all that simple.  Hope this helps a little.


I've opened a trial account at www.mtext.net for sending and receiving sms. Now I want to buy credits. I found through the help side that I should go to the purchase credit link, but can't find it!!! Can you help?

Amazingly, I dom't think there is one.\n\nI would contact them directly and ask them how to purchase credit. There must be a way as they have a table of pricing!


ex. "yellow cocktail music". obviously the music is not yellow but the color just FEELS like it describes what the music feels like. I cannot remember what the figurative language device or rhetorical device that this is. It is something like a metaphor or simile... just not.

Do you mean imagery? Imagery is language which evokes one of your five senses. This would give a visual image of something which you normally hear.


What was in it? Why did the Germany disagree?

Treaty of Versailles as you know was signed between Germany and the allied powers. According to this treaty A League of Nations was formed of which Germany wasn't made a member initially. The borders with countries like Austria, France, Poland, Luxembourg was well defined. The Saar basin of Germany consisting of mineral resources was handed to France for compensation of war. The union of Austria and Germany was banned. The colonies of Germany were handed to other countries for administration. The Rhine valley was demilitarised up to 50km from French Border. The military of Germany was severely curtailed. Apart from this many other sanctions were imposed causing Germany to disagree with it.


Right now I feel so tired and sleepy but I'm still in front of the computer.  Why is that? I want to go to bed but I can't move my ass from the chair. I hate it when the computer beats me in these kind of situations.

Feels like my ears are perpetually blocked.

A number of herbal treatments for otitis media have been recommended, including eardrops made with goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), mullein (Verbascum thapsus), St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), and echinacea (Echinacea spp.). Tinctures of echinacea, thyme (Thymus vulgaris), and elderflower (Sambucus nigra) are often recommended for oral treatment of otitis media due to chronic congestion. Warm garlic oil can be instilled directly into the ear. Steam inhalation infused with eucalyptus or chamomile may reduce the congestion of the URIs that often accompany otitis media.\nHomeopathic remedies that may be prescribed for middle ear infections include aconite, ferrum phosphoricum, belladonna, chamomilla, lycopodium, pulsatilla,or silica.


my best friend (ashley) has a brother that is very hott how do i tell her without creeping her out.

You know, like if you wanted to dig a hole or a tunnel, or say a mine there...what would you run into and what would you want to use?

More than 4.5 billion years ago, the surface of the Moon was a liquid magma ocean. Scientists think that one component of lunar rocks, called KREEP (potassium, rare earth elements, and phosphorus), represents the last chemical remnant of that magma ocean. KREEP is actually a composite of what scientists term "incompatible elements": those which cannot fit into a crystal structure and thus were left behind, floating to the surface of the magma. For researchers, KREEP is a convenient tracer, useful for reporting the story of the volcanic history of the lunar crust and chronicling the frequency of impacts by comets and other celestial bodies.\n\nThe lunar crust is composed of a variety of primary elements, including uranium, thorium, potassium, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, calcium, aluminium and hydrogen, as determined by spectroscopy.\n\nA complete global mapping of the Moon for the abundance of these elements has never been performed. However, some spacecraft have done so for portions of the Moon; Galileo did so when it flew by the Moon in 1992.[7] The overall composition of the Moon is believed to be similar to that of the upper parts of the Earth other than a depletion of volatile elements and of iron.


I want some REAL answers! Not some lame shit about how hes stupid or blaming him for 9/11 or hurricane Katrina. And if your answer is b/c of the war, explain to me the better solution you have? The reasons people usually give have to do with him being republican. I'm Republican, and i don't consider myself ignorant, prejudiced, or closed minded. The people who assumed tolerance for everything are those who only tolerate those who think like them. I want some real answers here.

1) He was voted, and depends on the support of, by the "Religious Right". As an atheist, well, I'm wary of supporting someone whose dad said atheists shouldn't be citizens.\n\n2) He opposes gay rights, affirmative action, and abortion. As a liberal, again, these go against my philosophy.\n\n3) He invaded Iraq needlessly, and without waiting for the rest of the world. And for what? WMD's were non-existent, and Iraq wasn't much of a threat anyways.\n\n4) Under the Bush admin, privacy has decreased dramatically. AT&T has already confessed to giving the NSA authority to monitor Internet communicatons, and by saying "protect the children" from porn, the Justice Department got search records of most of the Internet prooviders.\n\nAs far as what he did do right, he invaded Afghanistan after their gov. attacked us. He strengthened the economy, or at least didn't make it weaker. And I guess he handled 9/11 ok.\n\nSassyk : Wow, way to be detailed ;) Bush may be a crook, but then again, just about every politician, left, right, or middle is dishonest. That's just how politics was and probably will be 'til the Earth blows up.\n\nEDIT2 : thanks for the compliment, cadbury :)\n\nbuttercup : Whoa. I never got the "Liberals allow terrorism" memo. And DUH, of course liberals and Democrats hate Bush, it's called politics. Remember how much Republicans hated Clinton when he was in office?

I Think Relationship Issue Is Not Working... Should I Wait TO The Right One To Just Turn Up One Day? Please Share Ur Experience..

For relationship I met my bf online, he IM'ed me one day and we started to chat and found we had a lot in common. We exchanged pics, phone numbers and talked online and on the phone for months before I gathered up the courage to go out on a date with him. This June we'll be together for 4 yrs. And hopefully many more years together. \nAs for you get out there and let it be known you exist. Date, go have fun and who knows you might actually find the one like I have found the one and don't expect her to be perfect either. Everyone has flaws and make mistakes as well. And don't be picky either. If a girl comes up and asks you out give it a thought before you turn it down.


Because i ask him was he cheating on me and i was playing with him and he got mad and he still want to talk to me but he is mad

Show up at his house in a trench coat and high heals and nothing under, when you go inside give him a GOOD time, make him regret or forget why he was mad with you.


Suppose you started out with a bb sized magnet in the shape of a sphere and it kept growing. How big would that magnet have to be so that the magnetic pull was the same as the gravitational pull? Maybe bigger than Saturn?

Not that big!\n\nMagnetism is stronger than gravity by order of thousands.\nThe earths magnetic field is bigger and stronger than the earths gravitational field.\nMagnetism is stronger than gravity otherwise you would not be able to pick things up with a magnet


The main part of the bunker ended up underneath the Berlin Wall. After the wall came down, the bunker was searched by historians and then destroyed. A new apartment complex was built over top of it.


All this he says..she says crap back and fourth between the US and Iran..I want to know..since i have never been there.. what is life really like in Iran? From a lifestyle perspective.

Look at it this way, before 1979 Iran was the most developed nation in the region, it had the highest standard of living and was a major importer of American goods and services. Being larger and having a much greater population than Kuwait, which at the time was not friendly with the U.S., it represented our staunchest ally in that part of the world. \n\nFast forward nearly 30 years since the revolution. Poverty, violence and international irresponsibility now wrack the country. The population has been decimated by a senseless, bloody war with Iraq and now what little government there is happens to be playing nuclear brinkmanship with the rest of the world. Things are bad.

THere are gold mines throughout the world. The largest mines are in Russia and So. Africa. There are many mines in the US West, and now, with the price over $700 per ounce, there is enough incentive to start digging again. \n\nThe problem is that the "easy" gold has largely been extracted already. The remaining gold is such a small proportion of the mined ore, that it's getting increasingly expensive to process.

(to send straight to job/school)\n\n\nLonger Explanation:\n\nYour official scores will be mailed from the United States about two weeks after the test if you type your essay or five weeks if you handwrite your essay.  Please allow time for them to arrive by international mail.\n\nIf you need score reports to be sent to additional institutions, please complete the form in the TOEFL bulletin and return it with payment to ETS.  If paying by credit card, you may also call ETS at (609) 771-7267 to order additional score reports.  Scores are valid for two years.\n\nQuestions about any missing score reports should be directed to Educational Testing Service (ETS), the nonprofit organization that develops TOEFL and issues score reports.  An e-mail sent to the ETS customer service address—toefl@ets.org—usually will receive a response in five to seven days.  Test takers should wait at least eight weeks before contacting ETS about score reports.

iam using azureus and i made it download speed rate is (0) wich mean un defined download speed but it is rate it too slow  it cant exceeds 20 kb/sec  ?

The difference you report in DSL download speeds is due to the oversubscription of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the DSLAM to the Internet.\n\nTry to use the Speedtests below and select a test site within your own country.\n\nBe sure to run the Speed Tweak Test to optimize your computer first -- it made my computer download x4 faster.\n\nThe DSL modem will report the access speed (perhaps at the 512 kbps you purchased), the Speedtest will show the Internet download speed from different countries.\n\nAsk your ISP for a service with a different oversubscription rate -- and what is the additional fee?


What are the days like Friday, Saturday...etc.

I do it from 8:00 to 2:00 Friday and Saturday.  Most people do the garage sale in the morning because they have other things they need to do in the afternoon.  It's usually over by 2:00 just not enough people to keep it open.  Garage Sales are exhausting but you can make quite of bit of money.


specifically , court proceedings in lincoln,co. oregon, or charges filed.

Lawsuits are part of the public record in Oregon. If you go to the county courthouse, there is a public computer terminal. You can do a name search if you know the full name. The clerks  may not be able to help you search, you will have to puzzle it out yourself. However, there is an instruction booklet in front of the terminal. You won't be able to get the full record that way, but if their name pops up with a lot of hits, it ain't too good. \n\nGood luck\nLeigh \nPortland


Have talked with the company that supplies this datta to the back ground check companies and they will not remove it and cannot find lawyer that wiil take case,federal trade commission is of no help either! who can help me???

Is it just one company who does this? If so, call them and inform them that you are filing a suite for slander, then follow through. It can be tough to find a laywer, but it'll be worth it. Keep searching the yellow pages (or yellow.com) and press the company.

what do u do when some body likes u and u like them back and they was thinking that they was ment for each other what should they do?

Well I agree with "The King" \nYou should tell the person how you feel and then go from there and see what happens but remember just because someone loves you, doesn't mean that you have to love them back. So keep a strong heart and a smart mind but as always HAVE FUN!!


He's a whiner and can't win unless he has help or runs the best drivers off the track..His Dad was as rotten as he is.He caused more accidents and people became afraid of getting killed when he came near them...Cheating seems to run in the family..\n Well.. I guess Carrie didn't get that rotten,ruthless gene ! He's awesome and should take Jr.'s place...at least he drives by the rules and doesn't cry and blame everyone else when he doesn't win.\nRICHARD PETTY is the ONLY KING OF THE ROAD !!!\n They even tried to cheat Richard Petty of that title in a book about senior....

I haven't figured it out either. He's a jackass. He's overrated and his fans suck. His fans are the worst part of it, that and the extreme media bias.


About 2 or so in the afternoon-- I totally get tired and burnt out. What is  a good mid day booster?

eat some snacks. I think your digestion is fast. for that reason, you should short meal for about 6 meals everyday. This keeps you from sudden slowing down of energy. \nYou just consume small snacks in the mid-day.


the aunt jemima syrup bottle starts to talk to you??? Do you talk back or run??? What if she wants to kiss?? Do you make out with aunt jemima in the middle of your local supermarket while its crowded on a saturday afternoon with a blizzard coming on sunday???

I missed a few episodes (well, more than a few) and I was wondering if they ever told how the other group of people ever came to be on the island.

You mean Ana Lucia and Eko?\n\nThey were in the tail section that fell off first.\n\nTheir nickname is the "Tailies".\n\nIf you mean the "Others" like Henry, we don't know yet.


Is that true that Hurricane will hit New York City in Summer.

I used to live in Connecticut on the shore, and there were several hurricanes that came when I was younger. Of course, because the hurricanes had to go over Long Island (pronounce Lon Geyeland!), they were strong but not devastating. In about 1993 there was a huge hurricane that hit Cape Cod (pronounced Kennedyland) and did extraordinary damage, uprooting trees that had been planted 400 years ago and devastating historical sites.\n\nSo yes, there is every chance that an Atlantic hurricane might hit New York at some point.


Do you people think Schumi cheated @ Monte Carlo?  I don't...

I agree,what was the point of running the risk of being sent to the back of the grid,when the worst he would have been was 2nd for the start of the race in a car that would probably have won.Proved by the point he got Fromm 22nd to 5th some drive round Monte Carlo!


Here is something that might make you think again about saying that Kobe, Jordan or anyone else has had the best season average. Oscar Robertson once averaged a triple double in a season. \n\n30.8 PPG 12.5 RPG 11.4 APG\n\nOnly two people in the league this year had 12.5 RPG\nNo one in the league this year had 11.4 APG\nOnly three people had 30 PPG\nHe had all three in one season

I was sick of Jordan while he was playing, and I'm really over him now. Same with Kobe. Its overexposure, plus there are so many other talented baskteball players to talk about. People just like to concentrate on scoring. \n\nOscar Robertson is the best player in NBA history, if that's the point you were getting at. You'll hear no argument from me. He is completely underappreciated in this day and age.


I kept getting im's from men looking for sex. I like to make internet friends but not for that. So I posted on my profile (no sex, no flirting) hoping that would help. I am happily married. But now I am getting more im's than ever for sex. Is there a secret code or something that makes them think NO means yes ???

They probably search for those words. Since you have them in your profile, you come up in their search. Maybe you should say something more like, "Senders of inappropriate messages will be prosecuted for harassment, public indecency, and public use of obscenities." You probably can't actually do anything to anyone, but it might discourage some people.


i went back the next day for my money back but she said she spent the money. on my bill of sale she wrote she would fix the transmission for free and did not do it. so what should i do it has been 2 wks.

You should have sayed you LOANED her money. When you GIVE you don't get anything back! Sorry.\n\n2 weeks is probably a little late. You could try going to court and make her fix the tranny if you have that in writing, but a sale is a sale, sorry!


Shouldn't Yahoo have a non religion and spirituality question catagory for the atheists or does that make sense?  It seems to me that many of them probably get into the spiritual category because maybe they resent the 'Other' category under society and culture.  If they do not believe in God or eternity (which seems kind of strange because what else is ther after death to them ...being dead for non etenity?).  Or how about a non-thiest category?

Some atheists like to pick on believers because they enjoy mocking anyone who thinks differently than they do. That is why they Troll the religion sections of most forums.Even if they had their own section they'd still harass people who believe in God or gods. I'm a Christian but I have no problem with a person being an atheist if thats the way they want to believe. The only problem I have is when certain Atheists go and ridicule and condscend to people who do have some sort of faith regardless of what that faith is outside of some form of cult. I ignore most of these Militant Atheists because most there arent a lot of them around they just like to make lots of noise and make most people intimidated by them. Why even give them attention I say. Keep the faith I say To Believers


and if this particular guy has a temper and an obssession problem?

Well since that happened to me a yr ago, I suggest that u tell him that it's over and that u want him to be part of the baby's life. In my situation her and me have an understanding where I get to have him for 2 weeks out of the month and so does she. She just came out and told me, I wasn't so happy about it but I got use to it and realized that she really wanted it to be over. Anyways if U need some more advice on this e-mail at elguapo_v12@yahoo.com Well good luck and remember just sit down with him and tell him what u really feel...


Sometimes i feel it helps me but also it kills me...

I think it can be your enemy depending on how you handle the break up. If you are able to do stuff throughout the day, months etc that occupy your time you could be alright. If you spend all your time worrying about the break up then time can be an issue. Time does heal and time does give us chances we may never have had otherwise.


holla at me send me your email address so we can work something out!

where were you when i was taking AP Chem in high school? lol

a friend of mine told me his girl friend was jacking him off and when he reached orgasm it was bloody. He said it didn't hurt and he urinated after and the blood cleared while urinating. He came to work the next day all freaked out and says he's afraid to have sex now. He said he doen't have blood in his urine. I couldn't give him any advise or an opinion other than to see a doctor, but I am curious and don't want to ask him if his semen is still bloody.

Wow bloody semen? It could be something to do with the prostate gland. Tell him to get to a doc...prostate cancer strikes young guys...good luck...just leave him a note on his computer at work ...


I am looking to get a job at Babies R Us and i already have a job. Does any one know the starting hourly rate of pay? I live in central California, i dont know if that would make a difference. I am just curious if i would be making more money there or at my current job. Serious answers only please

Its based on production. The more babies you produce, the more you make.

Hi guyz,\nJust wanna know about the Natural treatments available for Correcting or Improving vision.I have a slight Astigmatism of less than 1 in both eyes. I am planning to have a career in Armed forces(may be flying). So i want to know about any Natural or Alternative treatment available for Rectifying this condition. I dont want to go for Surgical procedure like LASIK or PRK. I have heard about Bates method and Exercises, but dont know how much effective they are in correcting Astigmatism. Please advice.\nThanks in advance.

I recently started trying eye exercises to help improve my vision. I created a blog so that people can follow my progress\n\nhttp://improvingmyeyesight.com/blog/\n\nThe program I am using is called the Vision for Life Program. Actually, the founder of the program, Orlin Sorensen, was also interested in flying, which is what got him interested in eye exercises.

I can barley do anything. When will they fix this problem?

I dont have any problems and Im running IE 7.0. If it persists, then maybe you should downgrade back to 6.0? Or if you like the features that 7.0 gives you, then you might enjoy http://www.mozilla.com since the interface is similiar.


Consider religious contempt for "apes and pigs", not just Islam, many others refers to these animals in a bad way. Fleshy looking pigs that arent so stupid, and human like apes. Do you think that contempt for those animals is rooted in a subconstious recognition of the relationship?

since you didnt insult islam finally in a question, let me try to answer you as a friend.\ni dont think it is true, because if god created a monkey first, then monkey would have been mentioned in a good way, not in a bad way, you get my drift ?\nit would have been hollier if it was the first form of life.\ni think god created monkeys looking like us for a reason, i dont actually know it but maybe he wanted us to look at a brainless version of us and thank him for the brain and intelligence he gave us.


my bf is too possessive abt me b'coz of which he interfares too much which i dont like!! so...i have no option left than to lie..he loves me too much but this is the major drawback of his...i hv talked 2him several times but of no use.. he cant change!!!! he makes me cry too alot n i cant leave him also coz he wont let me do that n blackmails me too sumtimes.. so leaving him is impossible..pls suggest sumthing!! my life is hell

Girl, if I did it, you can too...you need to stop saying that you can't leave and say that you can.  If you want to get out, then GET OUT.  How in the hell does someone have that much power over you?  AND BLACKMAILING YOU?  WHAT ARE YOU, A POLITICIAN????  Leave child, because there isn't a man on these green planet that could hold me back from anything...and while you're at it, grow some backbone, cuz honey!!!!!!!!!!  Couldn't be ME!  \n\nSee, people like you who say they can't stand something and that it's hell and they want to get out usually want to stay.  If you really want to leave...let me give you the secret that has been passed down from generation to generation:\n\nGET THE F U C K OUT BEFORE HE KILLS YOU!  \nThen maybe you'll be satisfied!  Don't mean to be harsh on you, but you need someone to kick you in the behind...too many people in your life have rubbed your head and told you it's okay instead of telling it like it is!  Leave him if you really want to, or stay...it's your life...


I'll give someone a best answer vote and the points that come with it if you can come up with the funniest thing. You can make it up if you want to, but the more believeable it is, the funnier. Get them points.


This commercial played a lot during American Idol a few months back. It was a female with a soft voice singing: "...you've got this strange effect on me...and I like it...and I like it.."


i am really starting to think that my doctor is wayyyy to into me,what are some things that you guys would sugggest were ''over the line''?

Im RIGHT there with you girl!  I have a docotr and he NEVER EVER has a nurse in the room with me!  When my husband goes with me he is all business and very stiff and formal.  When i go ALONE this man laughs, giggles, touches my leg, arm and side when he talks to me.  Insists on walking me to my car- cuz of traffic!  And at the last visit he was putting stitches in my neck and he was actually BLOWING on my neck while he was doing this!!!!!  THESE r definetely over the line as far as Im concerned and now if I have to go my hubby goes with me.  Good luck to u!  Take a friend with you or find a new docotr unless you r into him too!


I am currently enrolled at a local community college earning my associates in Law Enforcement. Once I have completed my schooling (48 hours of law enforcement classes, and 12 hours of general ed classes) I know that I have to apply for the CPD and pass the exam. \n\nGenerally, how long does it take to get called back after applying? (Chicago typically offeres the exam twice yearly)\n\nHow long is the academy? Has anyone gone through this? And what is in store after I finish the academy?\n\nI have so many questions, so if you can help, that would be great....

contact the police patrolmans association about a ride along or a mentoring deal try to find a female officer to school you in what up its hard out there for a policeman or woman the union should hook you up


on my back handspring i have trouble keepin my arms straight and sometimes hit my head. any tips??

try lifting some weights or doing push ups to increase your arm strength. maybe if your arms get stronger you'll be able to push off harder instead of having your arms bend. weights and push ups may seem like a pain but it's better than risking a head or neck injury. good luck!!! =)


I have 'free rip' on my PC. Can I put 'mpeg' files straight on the DVD or do I have to convert them? If so, how?

Just copy it normally on the CD using nero express. i.e CD butning software. and you can easily watch on DVD player


wut do you do if a boy wants to no if you like him more than a friend and your not sure if u like him but would not mind going out wit him

i need the total yrs of college and total amount of money i need and the reason is cuz i am thinking about doing this got any tips?

When the oil business cratered in the 1980's, many engineers retrained into environmental. There were also gov't subsidies to retrain.\n\nAny engineering degree is a 4-yr degree, otherwise you are a Tech. \n\nThe amount of money depends on where you go to school. I live in Oklahoma, where the oil used to be, but where many colleges still have good curriculum. Private universities are ten times the cost of State schools, like OU and OSU, and the Junior Colleges are even cheaper.\n\nThere are many grants available. Check at your local library. At the very least, you can get low-interest loans. \n\nDon't worry about the money to get started. Just get started. You may need money to live on to attend school full time, but work on getting funding first. A free ride while attending school is what you're trying to do. \n\nThere is a reason some colleges cost more. You get what you pay for. The major schools employ the genius, while the lesser schools employ those who are just beginning, or haven't made a particular mark. You want to be taught by the best you can afford. Do not scrimp or cut corners on your education. Challenge yourself. It will reward you for a lifetime.


I want to become a Licensed Practical Nurse.  I want to know about colleges campus wise so that I can move to Atlanta and attend, not an online school.Because every school I found was only online.  It can be a community college or a tech school as long as it is campus based and not an online school.

contact GA Dep Of Health, state nursing board, state licensure, or even national nursing league via phone or email - you should be able to find phone number or email address on the internet.  They should be able to tell you. Also it depends on which state you practice, Nursing Board may have student loan assistance so that as long as you stay in the same state, they forgive some amount of your student loan in return. good luck!  we need more good nurses.


My husband and I are relocating to another state however we are not telling our parents until a month beofre we go. They are wonderful people but a bit overproctective. We fully realize we have to leave and live our own lives and in order fot us to obtain a 2 bedroom home or a starter condo we need to live, How can we tell them with kindness compassion firmness and niceness? Pray for us as we need wisdom to know what to say what not to say what to do and what not to do.

First, you know you parents. If you feel that you shouldn't tell them until a month before, you obviously have your reasons. But I don't think I'd let  them know that we'd known it for too long beforehand....\n\nI think you should invite all the parents out for dinner. Tell them you have exciting news. \n\nWhen you tell them, make sure that you let them know that you and your husband are starting a new chapter in your lives, and that you are going to brave an exciting new opportunity that has opened up for you. And since change is not only exciting, but also intimidating, that you are really counting on each of them to give you the emotional support you'll need to leave your lives here and start your new lives in your new town. If they understand that you need them on your side, they'll be less likely to be negative about it, or try to talk you out of it.\n\nThen, if they're the kind of people who want to help, tell them exactly what you've already planned, and whatever else needs to be done so you can leave.  Mabie even take them with you when you go to sign the rental agreement, so they know what your town looks like. If they can be involved, they won't feel  so deserted.\n\nAnd make sure you underline your plan to keep in touch. Research cell phone or regular phone plans, or talk everyone into getting headsets and a pc to pc phone plan, mabie with internet cameras, so they know you plan to stay in touch, and that they arn't losing you.\n\nRealize that this move will help your marriage to grow. My family lives 700 miles away from my and my husband's families. Being so far away from help means that we have to depend on each other, and we're very close because of it.


Would you be the twin that stays on Earth or the one that flies at the speed of light?

The one that flies away will come back to see his/her twin 'AS HE/SHE WILL BE IN THE FUTURE'.  So, depending on your view of this ... you can decide if you want to know or not.  For example, if the 'older' twin is now sick with diabetes or Alzheimer's or some other 'environmentally driven chronic disease', it might be helpful and motivating to you, enabling you to 'change your ways' and reduce your risk for the same outcome in life!\n\n\nNote: this idea is based on the well accepted principle that most chronic diseases are not caused by genetics but are a result of a 'mismatch' between the individual's genetics and environment.  Therefore the returning twin can see that his/her sibling had a 'mismatch' in his/her environment that did not work well for their 'common' genetics.\nBest wishes.


I read that someone thought that those of my religion are too selfish to love their children or spouses, and don't care enough to raise their kids in a loving and attentive manner.  I'm just wondering how many people see religion, instead of the character of the parents/spouses, as having anything to do with loving your family and raising your kids to be loving and good.

Religion is ultimately irrelevant when it comes to love.  The instinctive love of a spouse or children trumps the man made concepts of religion most days.


i saw it on someone page and now i want it but i dont know the site. it plays music with the slide show it pretty cool

I have been working in a school for a year and have been offered a better job in a better school for next year. However, the director of my current school is now a friend and I feel that I will really let her down when I leave because I have always said that I wanted to stay. I'm too nervous to tell her the truth but feel that she needs time to look for a new teacher so the longer I leave it the worse it'll get. What can I do to overcome my fear?

You have to be honest and calm to talk to your friend, you are really nice to your friend, I'm sure your friend will understand. Friends should understand each other, that's what friends are for!!!!! If you are good to your friend, I'm sure that you can overcome your fear easily.


Well My school is going to mont cascades and I just wanted to know-anyone who\ns been there- if it's fun or not or if it's for little kids, because ive never been there.

its SOOOO much fun. I went there last year with my school and we had the best time. Its for any age group and i PROMISE you that you will have a GREAT time!!!!!!


I heard it was a joke but some people told me its serious =[

Yes but don't be suprised if he changes back if he's not doing well in that #. I think it's stupid if you win 3 championships with a # then keep it.


If the May 1st protest had worked as planned and resulted in major economic losses would it have fallen under homeland security? Would the U.S. government seen it as an issue of national security? Taking into account what happened with the N.Y. transit strike.\n\nA judge ruled a strike by New York transit workers illegal on Tuesday afternoon, while millions of commuters battled their way home in frigid temperatures.The strike brought to a grinding halt all Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses and subways throughout the city. The system averages about 7 million passengers on weekdays. City officials have said a transit strike could cost the city $440 million to $660 million a day. Bloomberg said the strike affects everything from the restaurant and hotel industries to working-class New Yorkers who could lose their jobs as a result of the strike."The economic consequences of the strike range from severe to devastating, depending on the business," Boomberg said.

Because illegal immigrants don't make on average $50,000/year plus full benefits...like the New York City transit workers do. It is also not forbidden by law like the strikes in New York. Besides all that, is everything terrorism? The guy next door sprayed some insecticide...is that eco-terrorism? We are so consumed by the idea of terrorism that we cant, even for one day, accept that free speech might not be terrorism. If we destroy liberty to defend what America is, then what are we defending?

i graduated in the class of 2000, and i can tell you, high school was a big change from middle school for me.  it was a long time ago, but things are probably just about the same as they were.  a public high school is going to have alot more kids at it who are poorer, so yes, they probably will try and steal your money.  my best advice, is to keep honest people honest, and keep your money in your wallet, inside your pocket.  dates will happen regardless.  you will find it alot easyer to find a guy you like, because again, there are going to be alot more people there, (and not all of them are going to be nesecarily poorer.  even then, sometimes the guys that dont have everything they want are alot less spoiled, and can be more sweet about guy and girl stuff.)  and you can make friends in homeroom, and in class, and durring gym class. find somebody that looks like they'd be a nice person to have as a friend, and say you like their hair scruchie, it looks like one you have at home, or say something about somebodys shoes (like: "oh, i love those kinds of shoes, i had some last year, and they were sooooo comfy.  where did you find yours?  i want another pair")  or while your at recess and you see somebody a couple lockers down from you, maybe there in another one of your classes, ask "hey, you dont know that guy that sits next to you in science?  my gosh, hes just so cute.  i dont know his name though." eventually you two will end up trying to track him both down together, and you'll become friends in the process most likely.  i'd sugest carrying your lunch in a smaller lunch box, that might fit in your backback.  you dont want to have to lug it around with you everywhere, but if you have to put it in your backpack, and it was in a paper sack, you'd smash your lunch, (flat sandwiches are no fun.)  i always found something like a little makeup bag, with a zipper, that was kind of thick, and was hard to smash, you know?  a regular lunch box was always to big to fit in my backpack, and i just didnt want to cary it around with me, and my school didnt give me a locker. (depending on what your schools bugdet is, you might not get one either.)  \n\npeople joke about everything there, just like they did at your school. where people are poorer, and had nothing better to do but insult people, it might be alot more violent, and rude.  they will say alot of mean things.  alot of them made me cry. (some of them were about me, and they wernt nice.)  but, (and this is for people who havent yet been to middle school or high school yet and not just people switching from a private to public school)\nrule number 1:  do not ever let people see you cry in public, if you feel like your going to cry, find a bathroom, and do it in there.  (as soon as they see you cry, they'll know your feelings can be hurt, and they'll keep saying stuff that they know will hurt you.) its ok to cry outside when your not at school\n\nrule number 2: as soon as you say mean stuff back at them, you are just as bad as they are, and just as mean, so dont do it.  if you cant be nice, then you should leave. \n\nand rule number 3:when you find some friends that like you for who you are, and dont make themselves feel better by making fun of someone else (there are alot of people like that, so choose your friends carefully)  \n\nif you act like you want to have sex, and you look like you want to have sex, and you dress like you want to have sex, more than likely, (it will probably take at least a couple weeks for a guy to get into you) but you probably will have sex.  but the girls that dress, act, and look like they want to have sex, often are taken advantage of, and its not very nice.  be warned.  dont dress, act, or look like you want it, unless you really DO want it.  \n\nthe oldest person in my high school was 19.
