Some people shout, curse, hit a SOFT inanimate object, talk with someone,...

Meat only gets tough when VERY lean and not cooked right or tenderized, or when cooked too long or at too high a temperature. Otherwise ANY kind of meat can be moist and easy to eat.

What makes you not like someone? Above all, insensitivity toward others generally, or being a bigit or prejudiced. I also will not ever get close or stay close to someone who cannot laugh, including laugh at themselves, who is very intolerant, very impatient, rude, very critical, arrrogant or snobbish. I'm not THAT picky, but I have my standards. :)

How could a young teenage girl go about getting a vibrator without her mother or father or anyone else finding out? Buy through the mail online, (eBay sell them) or at a local sex shop and just hide it well. Most will come in packages that will not tell what is in them. If asked, say it is a Xmas gift for someone. None of their business anyhow, IMHO.

Why does your nose turn red when it's cold outside? Is this similar to how a flower's colors are brighter when grown in cold weather? (Can't find this online, HELP! I need to know this for tomorrow) Blood flowing to the nose to keep it warm. But you are losing blood from the extremites (hands, feet). Over time they will all lose color and then frost bite can set in quickly because blood is going to the heart and organs instead of the face and other areas like ears and nose.

When intoxicated, people do all kinds of stupid or otherwise foolish things they would never do sober. As a former "almost alcoholic," I would suggest you monitor your alcohol intake, so things like this just don't happen again. Instead of making out with a guy it could have been a car crash or a much more embarrassing...

I would venture to say that most men feel the same way. If we like someone it is not fun and can be frustrating, irritating, depressing and a real ego deflater if someone we like is ignoring us on purpose. Especially if we already have established even a small friendship or relationship with them and we thought everything was headed in the right direction! Yes, it can be a bummer. But there...

What is the steamiest or hottest love scene from a movie you have seen? Descibe it. What has to be one of the steamiest in recent years I can recall was when Diane Lane and Paul Martel (the artist) got it on in the movie "Unfaithful" (2002). If you recall, Richard Gere was the husband who found himself being a cuckold for awhile. There were several steamy scenes in that movie actually.

Have you ever broken a window? ( smashed, shattered) I have broken windows with rocks, a baseball, a BB gun, a bullet, a rifle butt, my hand, a ladder, my elbow, my foot, and once I fell through one. I broke a car windshield with my head and body once. I try to stay around tempered glass as much as possible. Positive note: I have only had 10 stitches as a result of any of those events. The glass came out on the losing end most of the time.

The other my boyfriend and I got into a fight. He told me that he hated me, that he didn't love me anymore, that he never wanted to see me again. We have recently made up, but should I be worried?

I remember telling my parents "I hate you" many times as a child when I was very angry. It's not that different as an adult, although unless the person is drunk, on drugs or having a...

I carry a 9mm Mossad Tanfolio handgun. Is it OK to fully load a 9mm cartridge or should I leave a couple bullets out to preserve the spring in the magazine? I was always told to either alternate clips or keep 2-3 out of the clip so as not to put full load on the spring. That said, I agree that the newer metals used are stronger and it should not be a big issue. Personally, I keep 2-3 out unless I am going to be using it. Maybe I don't need to, but it gives me piece of mind and I HATE jams.

What does the saying, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" mean? One of my parents favorites. It means doing something that is NOT in your best interest, just out of spite or to be a martyr. You think you are making others feel sorry for you or punishing them, but you really aren't. Generally, it is considered childish or at best, not well thought out behavior.

If we had I am sure we would have been deported and maybe worse! We even took photos which I still have!
