Answer to:
Have you ever had a relationship end or suffer severly because of other people sticking their noses into your business? How badly did that person / persons interfere?
Of course.
It boils down to the maturity of your boyfriend. They are more influenced by their friends, and cannot take the harassment as we can- like turning our backs on our families and friends for a guy. They are not as strong.
Many men prefer women w/ a little meat on them- even young guys- but fear of ridicule by their friends makes them avoid it until they are much older.

Barely 2 weeks after our breakup when he said he loved me, I find out the ex is dating again.crazy part is she has my name and looks just like me but is in his town. do you think this is coincidence?if he loved me why is he dating so soon
You must be young.
He didn't love you. He was and is a liar. They say that, get into your pants, and dump you.
she looks like you, because you are his type/ SHE is his type. The name thing is a coincidence. Johnny Carson married 3 Joanne's.

If you could choose one person on earth, to get stuck on a deserted island with (for the rest of your life) who would you choose?
Depends:
Can I be as young and hot as I used to be, or now?
Are we ever going to get rescued, or be there a few years?
Do we have food, or going to die in a matter of days?
Can it be someone from the past, or do we have to choose someone alive now?
Good question. Too hard for me, tho'
Now, if you say foods: popcorn shrimp and yogurt. And water.

My 1 year old cat wont use the litter box! We got him from a family that let their cats go anywhere (and he was taken away way too early). We thought he wouldnt use it because of our other cats, but now that hes alone he still wont! What do I do!?
Cats are not stupid. Even at a year old, if you place him in the litter box, and take his paws, make them scratch and paw the gravel, they usually take the hint.

Too much pushing the sexes towards each other-- here they have dances at the jr high for 12 yr olds. They don't even dance. They hang out on opposite sides of the gym, because they are too young and not ready for it.

Be prepared w/ alot of personal info- otherwise anyone could get it and have keys made to your vehicle. Also, vin # is in the very corner of the dash - front window and can be seen from the outside near the driver. It's also on your title.

I'm freaking because I'm such a worry wart with pregnancy. BF didn't have condom and I let him anyway, but he didn't come. I've been on pill for yrs. How worried should I be? He thinks I'm crazy. Says he was w/Catholic for 4yrs and only withdrawal method.
Says he was w/Catholic for 4yrs and only withdrawal method..... WHAT? Some BF.
The pill should keep you safe but there is no guarentee. I got pg on the pill- and took it faithfully. Some of us are just fertile. Thankfully, I was married.
Your BF-- HE'S an ass, and a liar, and NOT a doctor. ASK ONE....

What do you think of the credit card company giving credit to Illegal Aliens?

How do they get fresh food on cruise ships?
I agree with both, and that is one impressive grocery list.
BUT sunniebgi has it correct for the fresh.
"supplies are replenished as necessary at the individual ports that the ship stops at." NOT.
There is no way possible in a town of 10,000 ppl that we could EVER hope to supply up to 6 ships a day of the things they may have run out of. When you consider the pop of one...
Answer to:
Are luxury cruises dominated by older people due to their expensive nature?
Not any more.
Used to be for "The Newly wed and Nearly dead". No more.
CL's are targeting entire families and diverse groups- money is the name of the game, and we have more disposable income now than ever before in history.
I have seen Water slides, kids programs, rock climbing walls onboard. The shore excursions offer zip-lines, rough jeep rides, kyak and canoe...
Answer to:
Do I have to dress up for dinner every night if I take a luxury cruise?
Things have changed. Jeans are OK, but NOT torn or shabby looking clothes. NOT to a formal dinner. In port is best, and nice, stylish.

Answer to:
What happens if I miss getting back on board the cruise ship while in port?
HOWEVER, if you are not on a shore excursion offered by the line, and you KNOW you're going to be missing the boat, you can get a small boat to take you out to the ship, provided it is not too far away.
I have seen ppl get choppered out, and also fly to the next port and meet the ship, having missed all the dinners and evening's festivities.
It will cost you.
Answer to:

Answer to:
How late are the bars and clubs open on cruise ships?
Clubs close earlier than bars. ppl get tired, and they pull into port at 6 am, so everyone is getting up early to go do stuff.

Are the rooms on cruise ships incredibly small?
Depends on the ship, depends on the price, depends on the # of ppl you book for, and inside or outside cabin [view or not].
As with everything on Cruises, it boils down to the $$.
Answer to:
What happens if someone needs emergency care while on a cruise?
There is an infirmary on board all the larger ships, staffed w/ nurses. Often a Doctor's trip is comped if he agrees to be the 'trip doc' [on call].
Helicopters are often called when needed. If it isn't dire, there is an ambulance waiting at the dock, and the ship will pull in early to accommodate the pax.
Sometimes, the ppl even pack up and go home in the middle...

How can owls hunt in pitch darkness, like when there's no moon?
When small rodents leave the burrow or den to go look for food at night, they tend to stick near a wall, rocks, or same path, leaving a little urine trail as they go.

I'm 13 and my boyfriend is 16, and we live in Alaska. Is it okay for us to date with no sex involved?
You are barely out of puberty at 13. The idea of dating was started as a way for young ones to get to know others of the opposite sex, a way to 'scope out' potential mates.
If you're not old enough to have babies, get married, even socialize with no one else's financial help, then why not play it safe and stick to group situations?

I've been with a guy who has another girlfriend who lives out of town. She doesn't know about me. Should I tell her I know about her?

Do you have to use a special pot to can foods or can you use a large pasta type of pot with water in it?
It depends on WHAT you're canning. It's called a Hot water bath to just use a large stock pot w/ lid. Keep in mind, the water has to remain at a steady boil for the allotted time, and the water must be covering the jars the whole time.
A pressure cooker is recommended if you do meats or fish. Get a canning book or check out more online.

Is it normal for a guy's testicles to hang lower and lower as he gets older?
YES.
Good question I might add.
My brother told me years ago that you'll also hang lower faster if you have a vasectomy.
Apparently there are 2 things inside (tubes? I am SO not a Dr...) and when one is cut, the other is all that's left to "Hold the weight up" -- with exception of the outer skin...

People were sitting at a table. 21 appetizers were passed around from person to person in order around the table. MARIE took the first one. Each person took one each time the tray was passed around. Marie took the last one.How many were at the table.
good one. you didn't say they all get an equal share, so I'm guessing there were 4 people and each got 5 apps- except Marie-- she got one extra.
Or there were 5 ppl and each got 4-- except M- who got one extra- the first AND the last?
If I'm wrong, were they each to have gotten an equal amount? Do I have all the facts? :)

I live in Alaska and many ppl here eat seaweed.

The kids munch on it while watching TV, the adults crunch it up and sprinkle over food. Loaded w/...

So, WTF is your definition of a friend?
This person is no ones friend. LOSE HER.
Your BF should have put a stop to it long ago. I'm guessing you're in high school, as anyone older is a HUGELY immature ass to allow his GF to feel so insecure. They count on you not saying anything.

What is your favorite letter in the English alphabet and why?
I always liked E- because you can use it in so many words. But L might be more useful, as when it is not capitalized- you can use it as a #1, a line, an L, a little pole, and the basis of all stickmen and gun drawings.

Some people are ugly without it. We know it. We know ourselves, our insecurity levels, and are really good at applying it.
Besides, you met me when I was wearing it, you were attracted to me in it, you fell in love with me in it, so why do you want me to stop now? Not going to happen. [OK, that was 25 yrs ago to my late husband when he decided he wanted the more natural look-- on ME]...

Has always been that way, will always be. Only time and age can take care of them, and more teens, more questions will take their places.

Moral issues, yes- but add legal issues too. Many people bend the law a little-- like going 3-4 mph over the speed limit. But not 10 or 20. BIG $ ticket, on your record, could kill someone.
Same goes for most crimes. I especially impress on my boys [5 of them] NOT to do anything they do not want to spend YEARS in prison for, so as NOT to risk meeting a 'girlfriend named Bubba'...
