I met my current boyfriend over a year ago, but we started going out a year ago, and talked about formally being a couple this past January. I really like him, we get along ok. I told him I was in love with him about 6 months ago. Sometimes I think he's too cold and distant, though, and I don't know how long I can put up with it. I understand the way he is and accept him that way, but he hardly ever says I love you, and I'm not sure about this, but I think he's only said it in bed a few times. Whenever I say it to him, he sometimes just smiles, and sometimes says "me too." Another thing that I find strange, most times when we hug, he lies still and puts his head on my shoulder while I'm the one holding him in my arms. Do you think I'm being needy, or what should I do about this. Whenever I've tried to talk to him about this, he answers, well, that's the way I am, but sometimes I think that's not good enough. I want things to work, but how? Thanks!

Okay, so I'm writing a story. Here's a basic outline of the plot.-Girl and best friend (aged 18 - 21) are studying at uni and living on campus.- Friend sets girl up on date with someone 10 or so years her senior as a joke.-Guy drugs girl at date and kidnaps her. Friend had no idea the guy was dangerous.-Guy rapes and does other really horrible things to the girl at an abandoned building where he is keeping her.-Guy tells friend all about what he's dong to the girl (over the phone) but won't tell her where he's keeping her.-Friend is terrified and asks for help from her boyfriend.-Boyfriend finally cracks mystery and rescues girl when they get home after gruelling police interviews and so on they find the friend dead in her bathtub. She commited suicide because she could not live with what her joke had done to her friend. Boyfriend had not been able to get through to her and tell her he'd worked out where the girl was being held.How's that sound? It's just a rough plot idea but what do you think of it?Also, I need names for each of the characters.Girl who is kidnapped: She is hard-working, serious and responsible at school but lets her hair down on the weekends (within reason, that is).I AM THINKING OF ANGELA OR SOPHIE. Friend who sets girl up on date: She is fun and wild, almost a total opposite of the other girl. She is always happy but she comes from a tough background. Dad sexually abused her. That's why she is so distraught when she finds out what the man is doing to her friend (rape).WHAT ABOUT LOU? SHORT FOR LOUISA.Man who kidnaps: He is a really creepy guy, obviously.STUCK FOR NAMES. CRAIG OR JASON MAYBE?Boyfriend of friend who saves girl: He's studying criminology in uni, coincidentally. He's fit, strong and very able to look after himself.I'VE GOT NO IDEA ON THIS NAME. ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME.If you have any ideas - let me know! Thanks for your help.

I am a graphic artist and I have been asked to do a pretty big project. Unfortunately, I don't have any real editing software, and what I have been using to "wing it" with won't work this time for something this professional and important.I have been looking at a couple G4s for Mac and Photoshop software (was able to use those items for free at school and can't anymore) to buy, but I truly can't afford it now that my car has broken down.This CorelDraw software is on sale for less than $100 instead of being over $400 and I was thinking about getting it. Would anyone recommend it or am I wasting my time? I am going to slowly save for a used Mac and the program Adobe Illustrator CS3.I would buy the Illustrator CS3 now, but I can't afford it AND afford the MAC since it would be a waste to buy the expensive software for a PC.Right now Academic Superstore have the Illustrator software for about $200...and I hope that it's on sale again by the time I can afford it because the MSRP is about $600!!!HELP PLEASE! Thanks in advance.

I'm talking about Obama picking Biden for his running mate; McCain picking Palin for his running mate, the Democratic National Convention, or anything else you feel is noteworthy.The one thing that really impressed me is Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC. Specifically talking about how Washington needs to work together to solve America's problems:•I liked his points about Disagreeing on abortion but agreeing on reducing unwanted pregnancy. •About the realities of gun control being different for the rural hunter and the city person faced with gang violence, but agreeing that we need to keep AK-47 out of the hands of criminals. •About American soldiers not fighting for red or blue, but fighting for the United States.• About education being affordable if you agree to serve your community or country (I forget the exact quote).Most importantly, I liked his overall message that he is talking about politicians working together and compromising to resolve problems - despite party lines.Regardless your party affiliation, I think these are issues that all of us can agree upon.

I NEED CRITIZISING ENJOY I blinked awake to the low growl of my small dog Berry; he crouched on my chest ready to attack. Berry was facing the part of my room I couldn’t see, because it’s blocked by my large armoire. I quickly grabbed for my work cell phone and flipped it open. Its light barely lit up my large room. I looked at Berry and started to panic. He was clearly distressed. I was scared, my heart was racing and I couldn’t quite breathe. I pushed Berry off me and slid out of bed, trying to be brave. With an open cell phone in hand, strangely I felt armed, more confidant. I moved stealthily to where Berry was staring, barely making a sound. When I turned to peek around the large armoire, I blinked and to my horror, met the large sunken eyes of an old black man. His thin lips curled into a sweet familiar smile. I was morbidly astonished. His high cheek bones became more defined as the dim light of the cell phone flashed over them. My focus shifted to the motion behind him, in the corner of my window the screen was leaning off the window sill and through the small holes millions of maggots wriggled through dropping to the old man’s feet. I looked at him, mouth open in disgust, I tried to run or scream but all the muscles in my body resisted, my mind became blank and tears streamed down my face. His mesmerizing yet frightening face mimicked mine and became blank as well. As the light from my cell phone dimmed and blacked out, I suddenly became aware of what was happening. I jumped back in a state of panic into my other dresser. I looked around violently in the dark as Berry continued to bark hysterically. I pressed my body closer to the dresser almost sitting on it. I could barely see, I felt him shift and he slowly stepped closer. I felt my vase digging into my back, on reflex I quickly grabbed it, sliding my finger into the top of it. With all my strength I swung it around, smashing it into him, shattered pieces of glass cut into my hand. I ran and I winced as broken glass dug into my bare feet. I cradled my wounded hand quickly passing my barking dog. I grabbed onto anything to push myself along, when I looked behind me the only thing following me was my bloody footprints. I ran down the hallway and staggered out the front door. THANKS:D

i met this girl when i was 25 and she was 15. i worked with her father on his ranch. me and her dad became good pals and i was invited over for dinner and family gatherings all the time. she would talk to me all the time and i knew she had a crush on me, her whole family did. i was never attracted to her though. she was a child and i treated her as one. it's been 6 years since then and i no longer work with her dad but i've always kept in touch and drop by occasionaly. i even come over for thanksgiving dinner. so it's been 6 years and she's 21 and i'm 31, and she's no longer a child, she's almost finished with college and very grown up. we've always been friends and really good together. i think i'm started to have feelings for her. we go together so well, i mean a perfect match, everyone tells us this, not just my opinion, although i do agree, and it dosen't feel weird at all, until i think of the age difference and i remember her having braces and giving her a lift to sleep overs at her friends houses and giving her advice about life. she admitted she still has a crush on me. her dad thinks it's ok even though he's suspicious of me but he's been that way with all her boyfriends in the past. her mom thinks im the greatest thing, and says her husband really likes me and dosent mind, he's just being protective. is this weird or am i perverted. i didnt just see a cute 21 year old and go for it. i mean i know her really well and want to be with her because of who she is. i even thought she might just be going through a phase, i never thought a 21 year old could be "in love" but she's had a crush on me since she was 15, a 6 year crush. that's pretty good. also a side note, we even have the same birthday, june 19 i was born in 1976 and she was born in 1986. isn't that weird? so am i a bad person? is this weird? is this normal?

hey there...i am a sixteen year old Indian male, living in Dubai and will be going over to vancouver,BC in 2009 for higher education purposes.The institution I'm planning to go to is in West Hastings, Vancouver ,and apparently, from what I understand about this place I'm gonna have to work long and irregular hours there. So i guess I might have to find a place to stay in pretty close to West Hastings /Downtown.Now could any of you please tell me what you know about West Hastings? I mean, I would mainly like to know about the crime rate.Is it one of the safer areas in Vancouver or can i expect potential danger?Apart from this, how are 15 - 25 year old people in this area? I mean what are they like in general? Thanks.

Im 39 have dealt with depression for over 13 years. Am trying to do all the right things. Still feel hopeless. Have family that loves me. Have supportive workplace. Lost good friend I used to work with. He doesnt respond to my calls or emails. He said he was a friend. Had me sign up for IM with yahoo. My messenger crashed and I re-requested to add him as a contact. Guess I got declined. Also had me sign-up on tagged. Listed himself as female. I sent a few emails and left messages. Havent got much response. It hurts a lot. I feel stupid, useless, worthless. I feel like my so-called friend would be happy if I killed my self. He probably piss on my grave. Its hurts so damn much. Im taking the meds Im suppossed to take, but have a hard time sleeping. Dont feel any hope. Im sick of the hurting. I have this urge to call him, but realize thats probably a mistake. Im feeling really bad right now. dont know what to do. I just want the pain to go away. I feel like I dont matter anymore. Why do I care so much about whether Nick will contact me again or not. I've always been supportive of him. What gives him the right to hurt me. Im sorry to not be stronger

Me and my gf have been dating for 8 months now and everything has been going well except for the last few months things have felt different. I am 18 and she is 17. When we started dating it seemed like all she wanted to do was be with me. we would go out on weekend nights and her parents would expect her home at a certain time. she would never want to go home and would tell me that she wish she didnt have to go when it was time for her to leave. She would always text me and call me. now it seems like she doesnt want to be with me. She texts me like twice a day and wont call me. If she is at my house and she needs to be home at a certain time she will be anxious to leave at like 15 or 20 mins before she needs to be home. she also hangs out with her friends and seems to forget about me. We both work at the same place and instead of waiting for me to go on break so we can talk she goes with her friend. This year i had to go to a different school. I asked her why she doesnt text me during school and she said it was because she sat in the front of the class and that she was afraid the teacher would catch her texting. i kinda beleived her but i got curious so one day i decided to look through her phone messages and what do i see? she had sent like 2 text messages to her friends during school. i confronted her and asked her why she had lied to me. at first she tried to deny it then she said "why were u looking through my phone?" i simply told her i was curious. she got mad and started saying things like "i think we need a break" and saying that i had changed and that i was jelous of her being with her friends and that i was too over protective and worried too much. sometimes i think her stupid friends tell her to leave me because they are jelous of her having a bf and they dont have one.I really love my girl and i am very confused. i try talking to her and i tell her my feelings and release my emotions and that seems to make things worse. If i ask her why did you lie to me she will just say "I dont know" no matter how many times i ask her. Ill ask her "seriously what do u think of our relationship?" i get tha same i dont know anymore answer then she starts saying that ive changed and that she doesnt know me anymore. I think i have changed but i partially blame it on her. for one she says im jelous but she is the one that comes and tells me so and so was flirting with me today so i get mad or so and so was doing this and she seems to say it like if she isnt bothered by it then i get mad and tell her well tell that person to back off u or ill do something and she will be like "dont get jelous" or "dont get mad." Now she seems bored to be with me. The thing is i ignored my social life just to be with her and now she ignores me 4 her social life with her friends. could she be acting like this because i spend too much time with her and she is simply getting tired of me? Sometimes i try to kiss her and she will say no...ill poke her and tickle her and she will get mad and yell STOP! when we first started dating we would always kiss and make out and she would like it. She says she loves me and i know i love her so much i dont want to loose her! She is very special to me and means alot to me. I never planned on loosing it to her but it happened and thats because i saw something about her that is different from all the other girls. Im a really shy guy and for me to of felt confortable around this girl was strange because i never feel comfortable around other girls. We had a fight about the cell phone thing and we were about to end it but we talked and decided to try it again. I told her it was not worth it to break up over a stupid text message. Today we were together all day and we were happy. i thought maybe everything is back to normal but she did it again. We were just laying on my bed and no we werent doing anything. just cuddling then out of the blue she says " Ok lets go" i looked at the clock and there was still alot of time left before she had to be home. "I asked her you want to go home already and she said yes" Inside me i felt kind of bad because she makes me feel like she doesnt want to be around me anymore. I took her home then i came back to my house and called her. she answered and i tried to start a conversation but she said she was getting ready to go to sleep. there was a long pause then she was like "so yea im going to sleep" i told her im sorry i didnt know...i told her "ok then i luv you, good night then she said Me 2 bye" I cant get this depressed feeling out of me...it feels like butterflies in my stomach but not of happiness but sadness. I can never tell when she is mad or sad because she doesnt show emotions. She is very sensative and her mom has told me the same thing. If someone here can please help me out i would appreciate it. If she doesnt like being with me no more i dont want to waste my time nor hers and might as well end it and let the pain start so that my heart can eventually heal from

okay there is this chick I like who works at a store i go to. I Thougth she was flirting, flirted back etc.. well one day i went into the store and she comes up to me and says, " Just so you know if im not here anymore, its because I might be quitting." Like, I thought since she made sure I know, that she liekd me. So i called her up @ the store and said, " while i was there, i forgot to see if you want my number, maybe we can hang out sometime Or get the kids together and play. You seem like a cool person, so it would be cool to talk to you." and she was like, "yeah sure. I will let u know in a week or two when i know if im quitting or not." i was like "Cool." The next time i came in she started talking to me a whole bunch about her work probs and that she doesnt know if she is quitting or not. Well that was over a month ago, she never called. Since she never called i got paranoid i made a fool of myself so ive been avoiding going there while she is there. I finally went in while she was there like a week ago and she actted totally different than the previous time. she wasn't all chatty/talkative thsi time. My questions are: did she like me? did i mess it up by not going in for a month? did i freak her out? etc.. Thank you SO MUCH!

I was in a 6 year long, very serious relationship with someone I planned to marry and spend my life with. We had a traumatic situation happen to us and I broke it off because I felt that it was the only way things could ever get better, as we really took each other for granted. I thought I was over him and got into another relationship very quickly, and it got serious very quickly also. When I started seeing this new guy, I started changing myself into the type of person I felt like I should be with him and didn't stay true to who I am... and then I got pregnant. We got engaged and married within my first few months of being pregnant, and now I'm finding myself very unhappy & it's only been 5 months of marriage. I'm really learning who he is as a person and I feel like everything I loved (or maybe thought I loved) about him is going down the drain more and more every day. There have been times when I have confronted about the fact that our values and beliefs are so very different, and talked to him about issues that bothered me and the issues don't really change or get fixed. I also find myself feeling very resentful because I am losing myself..I rarely get a chance to see my friends anymore..or to do anything that makes me happy.. I wasn't ready to get married but I felt like it was the "right thing to do".. There is a part of me that is angry though because whenever I tell him about my feelings he just says something like "well if you want to leave, then leave.." and he doesn't fight for me or try to make me see that this can work. Also sex is becoming an issues. Because I know that as his wife, it's my job to have sex with him. But sex is a very big emotional thing for me, and I cant be intimate with someone that I don't feel like I'm in love with.. I also know that once your sex life goes down the drain, the relationship pretty much does to.. but I cant bring myself to feel attracted to him... Every single day we are slowly growing apart more and my feelings for him have turned plutonic. I do love him and I always will because he's a good guy... but it just seems like he isn't right for me. We are so different...Can relationships work when two people have totally different backgrounds, belief systems and values? How do you know when it's time to leave? How long am I supposed to stay unhappy?Edit: When I tell him about me having thoughts of leaving, he says if I want to leave then leave. He DOES say that he will be heartbroken if I leave, yet he doesnt show me that or do anything to work on the problems we have... therefore I'm feeling like "actions speak louder than words"... and his actions are saying a lot to me.

okeydokey, here we go.so me and this girl met over the summer at this camp, and we really liked each other. like...really liked each otherthe camp is in Midwest(about an hour away from where she lives) and i live on the East Coast, so it's something like 900 miles away.anyways so we kept talking on the phone like 2 weeks after the camp and then this camp called me back and hired me for the last 2 week session. this was cool because afterwards I got to stay at her house for like 5 days and it was like the coolest 5 days ever. we still really liked each other at the end and it was like a really really sad goodbye.unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to see her again probably until around Chriistmas. We talk on the phone almost everyday and text and email and all that, but I guess my question is do you think this long distance thing is gonna work out? or if you have any experience with long distance relationships what did you do that helped??thanks a buunchhmm so i probably should have mentioned we're going out, lol.

To make this simple, here's what's happening. I joined a new company in October 2006. Got my first increment in Feb 2007, was later promoted in June 2007 (another salary hike). My first annual leave was due in October 2007 (1 year completed). I went on vacation for Christmas 2007. When i received my leave salary pay cheque, here's what i got: 4 months calculated @ 2.5 days per month for the October 2006 - Feb 2007 salary, 4 months salary calculated @ 2.5 days/month for the salary between Feb 07 and June 07. And the other 4 months salary calculated @ 2.5 days/month for between June 07 and October 07. Summarizing, i've had three different salaries over the specified period and the company pays me as per what the salary was for each month over the last year to calculate my leave salary. Is this legal in the UAE?. Moreover, the HRA payable is also calculated on the basis of the rate at that month/period of the year. Should'nt all this just be paid as per what the current basic salary is, because had i been working instead of being on leave, i would be paid my normal wage. Again, is this legal according to the labor law in the UAE?

Hey all, i kinda need someone to explain what i am feeling. I had my first real girlfriend at 19. I am now 22. I date a girl for about 9 months until i could not take her attitude and selfishness anymore. I met a new girl in the mean time, we are not dating and we are taking things very slow. My ex keeps calling and messaging wanting to meet up for food and i keep putting it off and so i don't hurt her anymore cause she still thinks we can work it out. She now seems to be over it all because she does not really message me much in the past few days but i feel like i want her to, i feel discusting feeling like this because i should not expect her to be running after me but why do i?

my partner and i broke up about 2 weeks ago, we got into a pretty bad argument and i ended up realizing that he wasn't the person who i wanted to be with. i spent the past weeks thinking about how negative of a person he was to have in my life and so on. any who, i started seeing one of my old friends alot more, like going out for coffee and talking, and we also went out to the bar one night with some of my friends. i ended up beginning to like him and our connection was really good and i ended up kissing him that night. through my perspective at the time i was planning on never getting back with my ex again, and i was keen on beginning a new phase and a new relationship. the following day after the bar, he invited me over to his house for a movie and we ended up spending the whole time kissing passionately. but that's really all that happend.some stuff happend and i was busy with work for about a week, as was he.. so we didnt have much time to speak. also, i begin speaking to my ex during that time also and he got all open and emotional with me and made me re-release the feelings i once had for him again. so i decided it would be best for me to tell this new guy that it would be better for us to not speak right now because im too emotionally sensitive.i ended up telling my ex that i kissed another guy, and now that we've begun talking more and gotten back into the whole flow of like..speaking and partnership connection in a way, as we used to be.. hes really hurt and upset by the fact that i did that. but through my perspective at that point in the i wasnt planning on speaking to him ever again. so now i feel as though im in a rut and im not sure what to do about either my ex, and making him feel better about the whole situation, and if i even should.. and about the new guy, because i still do have a bit of feelings for him and a part of me craves to be with him instead. im not sure.. ugh.. relationships..let me tell u

I met this guy in class last year. I had an insane crush on him, but I didn't know if he was gay or not, so I never told him.I had a hunch that he might be because he would always stick up for me when the kid sitting next to us would make gay jokes.But anyways I saw him working a Freddy's (Fred Myers) and so I messaged him on this website that we both kinda use and he told me he is gay.So I admitted that I had a crush on him the year before. :)Its been a couple weeks and we've been talking a bit over IM, and playing wow together.He hasn't really dropped any hints that he might be interested (or at least I'm not picking up any, but I am horrible with hints.) We never see each other in person nor do we talk on the phone or text. But we don't live that far away from each other. ( we go to different schools now)I wanna tell him that I like him. but I'm not sure if its a good idea.I'd be risking losing him as a friend, and I don't want that.I guess I would rather have him as a friend. Then lose him because he doesn't like me.I feel like a loser for having to ask for help.But whatever,what do the great peoples of the interwebz think I should do?(sorry about the lack of proper grammar but hey its the just the internet)

"Governor Murkowski appointed Palin Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she served from 2003 to 2004 until resigning in protest over what she called the "lack of ethics" of fellow Alaskan Republican leaders, who ignored her whistleblowing complaints of legal violations and conflicts of interest. After she resigned, she exposed the state Republican Party's chairman, Randy Ruedrich, one of her fellow Oil & Gas commissioners, who was accused of doing work for the party on public time, and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail. Palin filed formal complaints against both Ruedrich and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who both resigned; Ruedrich paid a record $12,000 fine."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_PalinLiberals should love her for that.Since its completion in 1977, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System has transported over 15 billion barrels (2.4 Tl) of oil.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Alaska_Pipeline_System

i am due the end of november to have my first baby, i am a hair dresser and i pay rent each month to rent my space in a salon. my boss has told me she will give me 6 weeks free maternity leave but anything over i would have to continue to pay rent. i originally wanted to take 3 months and my husband says to do what i want. so should i pay $600 for the longer maternity leave and save my spot or should i just take the 6 weeks free and work only on saturdays so my husband can care for our child. i plan on breast feeding and have concerns about going back to work after only 6 weeks. what should i do?

I need some help. I have acne all over my nose, but no where else. I have that astringent stuff, lavender face masks, fruit face masks, and a foaming face wash, but nothing works. My mom won't let me use proactive because she doesn't think it works. This acne has been going for two years now.

I joined a popular dating sight and met a wonderful woman. We have been talking fo about 3 weeks getting to know each other. We have both been cheated on by our exes and divorced. She is very attractive atleast from the neck up..She has in her profile "a few extra pounds" I can't ask her waht she weights but 10 maybe even 30 pounds over weight is fine but 100# pounds over weight probably won't work. I'm not shallow but I do need some physical attraction to her body, sorry if this offends anyone, just me. What does a few extra pounds mean..I'm skinny pushing average 6'2 195#..

I work out every day. 2 days out of the week Its not to strenuous but the other 5 days I do 30 minutes of weight lifting, and 30, 45 or 60 minutes of cardio. Question: 3 meals, plus 3 protein shakes at 110 calories each low fat low carb. How does that sound? Is this good or bad? I’m not over weight but would say athletic looking, maybe even too much muscle. But I want to drop 10 pounds, so maybe I’m taking in to much protein? Help!Haha ya… and I also take the following supplementsXtend blend recovery, CLA, Chromium, Q-10, OPC-3, B12,B-6, biotin, Joint supplements, Redline, slim quick (not often) . and I forgot all the rest

I live in Northern NJ. EVERYTHING is New York... My football team is the Giants. My Hockey team is the Rangers. (Sorry Devils fans, I was a hockey fan long before the Devils- I date back to Ron Dugay and the Espo brothers) My Baseball team is the Mets. I get the Daily News. I spend weekends in the Museum of Nat'l History and the Met. Museum of Art. I love Greenwich Village, love Central Park Zoo, love the Bronx Zoo, love the pizza, the bagels, the attitude. I am a New Yorker who lives in NJ.I worked at a bar in NJ where one of my regular customers and friends just got a hot new job working in the World Trade Center. He was there for 2 weeks. We raised a few beers to toast his success.He was incinerated. The only thing that remained of him was his company ID badge that was found 2 months after the tower collapse almost 1/4 mile away. His widow buried an empty coffin. The service was magnificent. 500 local NJ people overflowed the church onto the streets.I never ate at Windows on the World. I never got to stand on the observation deck. I have one picture of the Twin Towers that my boyfriend took over 9 years ago from a river cruise and I have never seen one better. My daughter will never know what those icons of America actually meant. How do you explain to a child that people hate and want to kill you simply because you disagree on beliefs that no one can prove are right or wrong?What I don't understand is why patriotism in citizens and politicians is so viciously attacked in the name of 9/11. I suffered more than a lot of people in this country. I lost a friend. I watched other people freak out until they knew where their loved ones were. I worried about my own father, who is an EMT, that he might be deployed into NY while the towers were falling. (His company responded, but was turned back before they reached the city)So why the hate on Dems, Repubs? Why don't you think we were outraged and traumatized as well as you? Why don't you think we want the perpetrators punished?I say "we" even though I am a registered independent. I vote Democrat about 90% of the time. I have twice voted Republican, both times in local elections.But don't question my patriotism or my principles.EDIT: Sorry, Rangers fans, I meant Espo and the MALONEY brothers!EDIT: Sorry, Rangers fans, I meant Espo and the MALONEY brothers!Shradel: I have no idea whether to give you a TD or a TU. I am not a douchebag. Yes, Republicans have hemorrhoids. Now what?BOB: Bush is way too stupid to pull off an inside job of this magnitude. He couldn't even manage a losing ball team.kcitsin: WTF do North/South Dakota have to do with anything else you mentioned? Ever been there? Protecting the natural resources of a state like South Dakota and standing up for the rights of the American Indians that live there is one of the reasons I always find myself voting Dem.

I have been seeing this guy for a little over a month. We work at the same place just in different departments. Everything's been great until last week when I tried to call him to confirm plans and he had his phone off all day and all night. I tried to call the next day and his phone was on but he wasn't answering. The day after that he came to my office and wanted to talk. I kinda gave him the cold shoulder but wanted an explanation of why he was avoiding me. He told me that it was making him crazy because he had heard through a friend of his that I was seen talking to another co-worker. He automatically thought something was going on and that's why he was avoiding me. Tonight I was waiting for a friend after work to return something of their's. He pulled up to my car, got out and asked me what I was doing. I told him that I was waiting for a friend to return an item. He said who you waiting for. I tried to explain but he kissed me good night and left. I tried to call a couple times but he wasn't answering and not returning my call. I'm guessing this is the same game he was playing last week.He told me a couple weeks ago that if he sees me doing something that he doesn't like then I need to forget about him.I find out today that when I was talking to my friend he was somewhere close by watching me. Today he proceeded to tell me I was lying about my whereabouts.Does he really love me or should i break up with him?

I have gotten into this discussion many occasions and figured I would bring it here to the yahoo answers community. Here's my theory.A person being 'romantic' is cheesy. To me romantic is doing something rather text book, like bringing flowers, candle light dinners, rose petals leading to a bed, etc. basically stuff u see in the movie or romance novels. Being thoughtful is doing something for someone that you took time to be creative or attentive enough to take note of and do for them.I feel like people use the romantic route just to get what they want from a person because its traditional to be known to work, its safe. The thoughtful route is more i really want to impress this person by doing something they never would have seen coming without expecting something back for it.i think the two can cross and blend a bit but for the most part i think most actions can be classified in one or the other. I would much rather prefer the thoughtful person over the romantic romeo cheeseball.Thoughts? Comments? I'd love to hear.

was wanting to drop a new engine(including transmission) in my car and was wondering what the most powerful fwd platform engine (which is what the stratus is) i could use. i was hoping the 07-08 acura tls (286hp) would fit, and if so, or if not, is there anything better? I would add just a few things once engine is swapped; intake, exhaust, maybe headers, and possibly (maybe) a supercharger/turbo kit of some kind. Then I'll get a safe tune. I need to have at least 315hp, but i dont need more than 400, but i'll take it if it works out. Also, I need it to be a reliable engine, as it will be my daily driver possibly. It's got to average over 20mpg as well. i know the acura tls already gets 16/26 mpg. anyone who can help me would be great, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm 16 almost 17. It seems like I can never get a break. I'm sorry if this comes off as a unnecessary rant, but I need to get it off my chest.I've been feeling really bad lately. I'm going into my senior year. I feel so bad, I've screwed up my high school years. I've gotten mediocre at best grades, I don't have any real talents or abilities worth mentioning, I feel as if I'll be a pass over candidate for college. My SAT scores were average and the only extracurricular activity I do is manage the lacrosse team.My friend took a college tour to Connecticut where he looked at Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell, MIT, Wesleyan, and some other schools. He got an 1920 on the SAT, he's really smart and he already knows what he wants to do in his life. Engineering. I have no clear vision of what my life ahead will be.I just got a new car last week. A brand new Honda Civic 2008. I didn't deserve it. The only reason I got it is because my mom won't have to pay 25 dollars a day for a transportation service to come and pick me up from school. We couldn't get a used one, because the monthly payments were higher. I'm happy I got it, but I feel like I really didn't deserve it. There are many kids who would love to have a new car...My family members, my mom and her sisters have been fighting often and I don't like it. One of them came to live with us and she's already created a web of lies. It makes me sick to think of it. I don't want to let my parents down, but I think I might. My dad wants me to be in the medical profession and have alot of money. My mom wants me to stay in state for college and go to this college near us. It's ok, but I would want to see what the out of state experience is. I really don't want to let my parents down, even though I feel as if I might be.I hate thinking about sex everyday. It bugs me. I'm trying to curb my attraction, but nothing seems to be working. I realize that sex isn't the only thing in the world, but sometimes that's all I can think of. It gets on my nerves. I might want to consider meditation so I can get a stronger mind.I feel so corrupt.There's alot more, but I don't want to bore you with my life.I remember when I was in middle school, I didn't have to deal with all of this. I really miss those days. That's it. Also, don't tell me I need Prozac or any other antidepressant medicine. I'm fine. I'm not depressed. That seems to be the only answer people give these days.I'm a Christian.I'm NOT 18.

I found someone that is 3 months behind and their mortgage and It's a cheep mortgage payment. They put alot of money down and got a good mortgage but for some reason just decided they don't want the house and was going to surrender it to the bank. They asked me if i wanted to take over the house through a quit claim deed. I have the money to bring the mortgage up to date and know i can rent it out for a good profit. But is a quit claim a good way to go. I dont know all the details involved. If they quit claim it to me can i keep the current mortgage in their name until payed off. Can they try to get the house back later or when its payed off. By doing a quit claim do they give up all rights and do i have total rights. I don't really want to put this mortgage in my name cause i want to buy my dream house when the time is right and don't want this to stop me. Will a quit work in this situation.

I'm 15, and I've been friends with this guy for (like) all my life but we're really become close friends over the past year, and I've told I like him. When I asked him if he likes me he said no. One other thing he can't date until he's 16 (he's 13) but he still flirts with me and he's admitted to leading me on in the past..............We talk on the computer and phone all the time, and we've talked about us dating and he says one of us (me) is going to get hurt.......and that even if we did date that it wouldn't work because we're to different. I don't know what to think. I am so frustrated. I could use some help. Thanks

I am on several medications for several different problems. One is Atripla for HIV, another is gabapentin for mild neuropathy, and the other is Pristiq for depression. I also take several vitamin supplements, along with a daily vitamin. I have a hard time sleeping so I take sleeping pills every night before I go to bed (generic of tylenol pm), and if that doesn't work I try some melatonin. I have been on the Pristiq now for about two months, I switched to that from Zoloft. I have been off work for a little over a month because of a worker's compensation injury, so I should be well rested. I am not! I feel tired all the time...I am still depressed...and now I feel like my body is floating along on a wave (how funny that sounds, yet how weird!!). Any one else ever have this experience, or have any suggestions??

I was thinking about buying the new Instinct by Sprint and taking it over to cricket. Now would cricket be able to turn it on with their network? Because I heard that Cricket can reprogram phones to work with their network. So yeah buying a new phone want to take it to cricket (Not even get it activated just take it straight to cricket and activate it there). Would that work? If you get what I mean, I know it's sorta confusing.

i love my bf. i really do. he is a great guy and i think very highly of him. he works in hospitality. and managed what was one shop he would finish work at 8.30 -9pm and then still be happy. now his bosses have opened up another shop. he drops me n bub off at daycare and work before i start at 7.30am like he always did and then goes straight to work and doesnt come home until 8.30pm. hes on 60k a year n has tues n wed off. well attempts it bcos chances are high that he will have to go to work probably on the wednesday. i am starting to feel lonely and im upset that the bosses depend on him so freakin much that i think its slowly but surely giong to break him , he comes home tired. grumpy watches tv and then goes to bed. we dont have anytime to spend together and i feel a bit irritated by the selfish bosses and irritated that he cant say no when someone flakes out at work. im wondering if we will survive , i dont want us to end. i dont want him to get hurt and i dont want him to get fucked over by 4 lazy people who cant bother to run thier own shops. i thought maybe instead of worrying so much i should study something as we are living together. and catch up with him at little bit later down the track i hve no idea

I take 8 200mg tablets about 3-6 or more times a day for over the past year. I used to take 4-6 tablets but my headaches just keep getting worse so i take 8 and then as many times a day as i have to but its usually 24 plus tablets a day. Ibuprofen is the only thing that will work for my headaches that i get everyday. Is it possible to become addicted to ibuprofen?I just feel that my body is addicted because when i don't take any i get severe migrains and feel crappy. Because trust me i am not mentally addicted because i would love to stop having to take so much because i heard they are so bad for you. But i dont want to live with headaches every fricken day all day long. My doctors perscribed me a migraine med. but doesnt work well enough

Hey guys,I'm in high school still, and it's been a dream of mine to become a legal computer hacker for the Government. Sound's kind've weird but I was curious if any of you guys can give me advice to get into this field of work. For example a good college, and also what degree I should try getting. Also, after getting the degree, how, and where would I try to get the job at. I'm really lost on where to start and it seems like I'm just thinking over my head, but this is something I really want to do for our country. Thank you :)

i need a new phone and my dad wants to get me one from america whan he is over there in 3 weeks.....i wanted to know is it posible for an american phone to work in australia with an australian network (optus) and and australian sim card.

this is the begining of my current story its long and has bad word; lots of them enjoy.My apartment was warmed by a summer breeze passing by. I’m surprised we even get wind downtown. The buildings are so tall and they seem to lean over you as you walk by them. I looked around, the dim light of the lamp consumed only a portion of the living room, beyond the light of the lamp was darkness; I should turn some lights on. Then again the living room does look good in the dark, you can’t seem to see the mess and dirt, the oatmeal colored paint was peeling off the walls and underneath that there was rotting wood. But the living room was relatively nice, if you get past those factors, fairly new tan colored couch, thirty-four inch TV, couple side tables, lamp and a book shelf with shoes on it. Not bad considering I either found it on the side of the road or a second hand store. The kitchen in this apartment is a mess, there’s water stains on everything, the fridge looks like it was pulled out of a dumpster and is as old as I am, most of the cupboards are nearly hanging off of the hinges, and the tile floor is stained and rotting. Above all this apartment is not worth shit, and it smells rotten. I can’t believe I pay a good 150 every two weeks for this. Why am I sitting in the dark again? There was a knock at the door. I looked at it. “Who is it?” I hollered at the door. There was no reply I got off the couch and turned on the lights I looked at the door curiously, and walked up to it. I stood on my tipi toes and took a peek through the peep hole; there was nothing, no one. There was another knock at the door; I jumped about ten feet into the air, I took a big breath and unlocked the door, I paused. The handle turned I backed up, ready to punch whoever it was in the nose. Someone walked in. I pulled my hand back and threw my fist into his nose. He cupped his face in pain.“Aghhhh, SHIT Alex, What the fuck is your problem?!?!” shit I hit William! Fuck!“William?? Shit I’m sorry. Shit! Shit! Shit! Fuck William are you ok?”He looked at me, he was pissed. His nose bled and it was a little off center. Opps. “Shit Alex, what’s your fucking problem?” he said holding his nose. It started to swell like a fucking balloon. “This is a bad neighborhood people have tried to break in before. I didn’t know who you were I couldn’t even see you in the peep hole! What do you want anyways, its 12:30 in the morning?”William held his nose with one hand and with the other he held his wrist, he squeezed his eyes shut and took a breath, shit! He was going to put his nose back in place! I looked away and squeezed my eyes shut. I heard him crack it back, I looked back at him, he scrunched his nose around, and I bet he did it with a lot of pain. I scrunched my nose as well without the pain of course. Blood trickled down to his lip and into his mouth, I saw him smack his lips together, he stuck this finger in this mouth, and pulled it out, exposing the blood on his finger. He looked at it, and sighed as he whipped the blood on his jeans, creating a new stain on his pants. “Where’s your cell? Mac has been calling you non stop for an hour. So he sent me to get you.” William questioned me. William is basically Macs’ bitch; and Mac, well he’s the big guy himself. He runs most of this cities night clubs, bars and strip clubs as well, and the weed market of course. My father is how I got into this group of people. Four years ago Mac found out my dad was growing and got pissed, (Mac owns the whole weed market, if you sell you work for Mac) Mac had said to my dad “grow and sell weed for me if you value the life of your children and your life” my dad agreed, even though he only gets twenty percent of the profits from it. But two years ago my dad couldn’t pay Mac the weed money ‘cause HE, himself smoked most of the pot. The profit from the pot that he did sell was needed to pay the rent (the rent was a few months over due).Mac was gracious enough to let him have the money (only so he wouldn’t have to move his weed garden). But Mac wanted something in return. So my dad practically signed my life away to the devil. My dad could have just lived with me, if he got kicked out of his house. I haven’t talked to my dad since. William was the first guy I met on my new job, we hit it off. He’s there for me, and I’m there for him, unless I think he’s breaking in. William has the blondest natural hair id ever seen, and the brownest eyes. His eyes were kind of like the eyes of a lost puppy dog, when you look into them you think, awwwwe I wanna take him home. His body, wow smoking hot, he looked like he had toned every muscle in his body… at individual times! Let’s just say, he’s adorable. “Um, William today is my day. MY DAY.” I pointed at myself and emphasized the words MY DAY! It is not Macs’ day to waist away at one of his clubs.“Alex, you have to, Jillian, Sarah, and Megan called in sick.”“Oh their prob

My best guy friend and I have liked eachother on and off ever since 6th grade. He's like my older brother in a way. When it is just me and him on the phone or in person he is totally cool and sweet but when he is around his friends or my friends he acts completly different. I know how guys tend to be jerks around their friends jsut to show off but this seems different. we hung out with a couple friends downtown and he hid my friends cd that she just bought and didnt ever say he had it not even when we were leaving. Luckily his friend told us that he had it but he made us chase the car to get it back. and when we finally got it back he stole my friends bracelet. At the time he said he liked me but was he really crushing on my friend. After al it was her her stuff he was takin. He asked me out a while later and i said yes but it became to awkward and it jsut didnt feel right. The problem is that although I have claimed i am over him he keeps popping up again and i start to like him again!!!!!!!! It drives me crazy. We talk on the phone alot and txt and people keep saying we are going to end up together. What do i do? Will it work out or should we stay just as friends?

My husband and I are currently living in two different states (since July). He originally decided to move back home after getting out of the military, to 'be there' for his mother who is going through a nasty divorce. We ourselves had been having problems. Yesterday while I was at work, I received a text message from my husband and to give the very basic details, the end of it read: "were done". I'd like to find out others' views on breaking up / announcing "it's over" via text message, in regards to serious relationships/marriages. I myself believe I deserved, at the very least, a phone call. If not that, e-mail. Text message? What is he, in the 7th grade still? On a scale of 1-10, I give his balls a size -5!No, I take the e-mail part back. I feel completely justified in wanting to have received the news straight from his mouth, over the phone.

i've known this guy friend of mine for a long time. we engaged in sum personal things(if u know wat i mean) but he is truly a great friend! he is always there when i need him too! the problem i have is i dont know if he truly likes me or not. i mean he gives me great adivce all of the time and i came out with the truth about a month or so ago and told him i was attracted to him. so now if i date other guys n talk to him about it and ask him his opinion on the guy that im dating at the time it doesnt sit to well with him. it was a guy he worked with who wanted to take me out but my guy friend(who im talking bout) didnt like it at all and he told me not to go out with that person. so i went out with that guy he works with anyway but i had to confess to my guyfriend because thats the type of relationship him and i have we can talk to each other bout anything. so when i told my guyfriend bout it he got mad. but he says he is over it now. anyway he tells me all of the time i will be ok and for about two months or more he keeps telling me to wait that right one is coming. no matter who i ask him about dating that person is never good enough for me he says. when he first told me that i ask him how did he know that and he told me to just wait that right one is coming sooner than i think. i got opinions from some of my friends and they told me he liked me but we are just friends with benefits and i really want to know what that statement means.... Wait that right one is coming? can anybody answer that for me?.................

Do you have any experience using ultrasounds on pregnant bitches? Have you found them to be accurate in telling you how many pups the mom is carrying and if the size of the pups is too great for her to deliver naturally? I have a female who might be pregnant and I'd love to know for sure but it is far too soon for an x-ray. Everyone seems to only use x-rays, but I had a breeder friend come over from Europe who only uses ultrasounds. I like the idea of an ultrasound more because it doesn't expose the mom and babies to radiation but I'd like to read about some pros and cons from people who've used it. Mainly, if the puppy count was accurate. Thank you,

Is he just horny or something? Here's the story.My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost 6 months, but like I've known him a lot longer. He's 19 and I'm 18 so it's not a huge age difference.He knows that I'm a virgin and all, and that I'm not completely ready. But lately he's been like really horny lol. He spends the night at my house a lot and stuff and we sleep in the same bed, but he never tries anything, but he was over a couple nights ago and yeah. We were just lying in bed, and then we started to make out, and he started to lift up my shirt. I stopped him, and he said sorry, but he didn't talk to me until we woke up. He's been really touchy feely lately and I'm ok with that, but I'm not ready to have sex. I have a feeling he wants to have sex, but I'm not completely sure. And why did he start doing this all of a sudden? What do I tell him besides just saying stop, cause that's not working.

ok, for the first 3 yrs of high school, ive been really shy, taking hard classes, and totally focused on schoolwork, and the friends ive been with were also like that and weve been really close throughout the years. now that im a senior, ive decided that ive worked hard enough over the years and to just take easy courses and have fun this year. lately, i've been hanging out with a different group of people, who are sooo much more fun than my old friends and i would prefer to hang out with them. although i dont wanna be mean and completely ditch my old friends, but everytime im with them, i get bored to death and i feel like they act immature. its like ive changed a lot and they havent....hopefully im not being too mean, i still consider myself a nice person, but i just want to live life u know... what should i do???

I am a graphic artist and I have been asked to do a pretty big project. Unfortunately, I don't have any real editing software, and what I have been using to "wing it" with won't work this time for something this professional and important.I have been looking at a couple G4s for Mac and Photoshop software (was able to use those items for free at school and can't anymore) to buy, but I truly can't afford it now that my car has broken down.This CorelDraw software is on sale for less than $100 instead of being over $400 and I was thinking about getting it. Would anyone recommend it or am I wasting my time? I am going to slowly save for a used Mac and the program Adobe Illustrator CS3.I would buy the Illustrator CS3 now, but I can't afford it AND afford the MAC since it would be a waste to buy the expensive software for a PC.Right now Academic Superstore have the Illustrator software for about $200...and I hope that it's on sale again by the time I can afford it because the MSRP is about $600!!!HELP PLEASE! Thanks in advance.

I just graduated from grad school, and I took a job offer across the country that sounded good at the time. The firm was large and it seemed to have areas to expand in once I got experience. Now two months later I really dislike my job and going into work in the morning. The reasons for this are that my supervisor is too busy to sit with me and go over results, and told me that he can see how I'm frustrated. He said that he is more behind now than ever, and now I can see the situation only getting worse, which would not allow me to get the time with him to answer questions that I need being new. My problem is that I have only been there two months and I don't know if it is bad to leave/quit that soon. In the two months working, I've probably only met with my boss about <4 hours. A job offer that I was going to take and I really liked (which now looking back on it seems like what I really wanted to do) is still open. My question is should I quit my current job after 2 months and try the job which I wish I accepted in the first place? I'm lost and opinions are welcome!

I made an Ouija board based on the one available from Hasbro, nice size and everything. My pointer is a CD with no artwork on it, just some words. The hole in the middle would be used to point to the letters and such. I tried about a half an hour ago, midnight my time. My friend and I are sitting in a room with the lights off and flashlights shining towards the board (no candles, unfortunately). We said our prayers and opened the seance saying we were looking to hear positive things and that please no negative things be said. Our questions were: Do you believe Jesus Christ is our saviour; If you'd like to, could you tell us your name; Is my boyfriend the right guy for me; and What is the name of the man I will marry?We have had nothing. We placed the fingertips of both of our hands on either side of the disk, with the disc first positioned over the word OUIJA over top and centre of the board. We don't know what we are doing wrong. PLEASE help me! Thank you sooo much =) **Please do not tell me Ouija boards don't work, I'm looking for someone with experience and knowledge on this. Thanks! =)I don't believe in demons =)Did I check the batteries? :S Haha.Please I'm looking for any help.
