What should I do about this sidewalk? (see picture below)
My boyfriend and I just moved into his house that has been rented out for the past four years. There's a sidewalk that goes around the house and is terribly crooked. It angles down towards the house, which raises concerns about water running towards the foundation.
I've considered taking a sledgehammer to it, leveling the ground and planting some flowers and herbs where the...

You can't convince him, and you shouldn't even try. First of all, you sound like you know very little about marijuana. Plenty of people smoke pot and don't "destroy" themselves. Pot isn't illegal because it's dangerous (look at alcohol, we all know how dangerous THAT is but yet it's legal...) it's illegal because back in the day some douchebag...

Has anyone had a relationship where they had a strong connection with partner and had telepathy with each other?if so what was it like?
Not sure about telepathy, but my boyfriend and I always seem to know what the other is about to say before they say it. Maybe it's just because we think alike and have a lot of the same tastes or maybe it's ESP.

You can't "fall in love" with someone to whom you've never spoken. You can feel physical attraction for a person you've never really met, but it's just lust.
Falling in love takes two willing people, who actually KNOW each other and speak to each other.

Do people believe when they get married that it will last forever or do you think they hope it will last for ever or do they not expect it to last. After all they only have to look around them to see the many failed relationships and marriages.
I think that if you go into a marriage convinced that it's not going to last... it probably won't.
People get married because they truly want to be with that other person forever. And if not forever, then as long as humanly possible. Sometimes things get in the way of that and people divorce, sometimes not.

My husband is an alcoholic and I believe a coke addict. If I go out of town, he binges on Coke and normally takes $ 600 to $ 1000 out in cash. On a wkly basis, he spends $ 800 in cash, which he can not account for. Am I crazy to think he is an addict?
No, but you're crazy to let him continue this downward spiral.
Your husband needs HELP, and you need to restrict his access to the bank account until he straightens up - unless you want to wind up in the poorhouse because of his addiction.

No, it's not really possible to use a drug like cocaine every day and still "function" (in the normal sense of the word, anyway). This person will soon be living only for the next high, which I wouldn't really consider "functioning" and neither would most people.

Every time I've eaten LSD or ecstacy, for starters.
Aside from that, I can't recall an exact moment of self actualization. I'd think of it more as a gradual process in most instances than something that just suddenly happens, like the flip of a switch (although that happens frequently, it's usually in hindsight so it isn't really self actualizing).

If antidepressants made you feel WORSE, than either they weren't the right type of antidepressant for your particular disorder OR you've been misdiagnosed with depression when what you have is something else entirely.
If the meds don't work, you tell your doctor and you try something else. You also have to be COMPLETELY honest with your doctor when it comes to your symptoms....

Hi, I have virtually no friends and some serious depression issues; I snap at everyone around me and I'm constantly getting into arguments with family. I have no one to talk to, and let's say that getting a therapist isn't an option. What should I do?
Sounds like it could be more than just depression. Sometimes depression is a symptom of a much larger problem. Therapy would help, why isn't it an option? Even your family doctor can evaluate you and recommend a course of treatment (which will likely include therapy).

Is there a post-abortion syndrome?
I'm going to say no.
A woman who has an abortion does so because she doesn't want a child at that point in her life, or under the circumstance she may be in, etc. A woman who WANTS a child typically is not going to have an abortion. It's far more common for a woman to feel relief after an abortion than to feel regret or experience depression. The reason for this is is that...

When I start a new relationship I include my new partner into my CURRENT life (introduce them to friends, family, etc), I don't run out and start a whole new life that revolves around this new person.

Answer to:
Why do some people hide their friendships with those of the opposite sex at work?
Some workplaces have fraternization policies, meaning coworkers aren't allowed to have relationships with each other outside of work. That may be the reason. Another reason may be that they don't want the workplace gossip mill churning at their expense - especially if their relationship is strictly platonic.

Answer to:
My g/f is 17 and she is graduating High School this year, she won't turn 18 until November, her Mom wants to keep her at home until she is 18, does this make sence to anyone else?
Makes perfect sense to me. Her parents are responsible for her until her 18th birthday. Maybe they're afraid she'll run wild and they'll end up paying the price for it, or maybe they just want to keep her under their wings for as long as possible.
Either way, it's their say and there's nothing you can (or should) do about it.

Do you believe in unconditional love when it comes to your significant other? People love unconditionally in families & tend to work their way through any hardships because of this. If you love someone unconditionally, why would you leave them?
Not at all. I think the term "unconditional love" should only apply to your offspring (children). I may love my partner, but not unconditionally. There are plenty of "conditions" that may arise that would make me stop loving them entirely.

Answer to:
How is love possible? i understand how our bodies pump blood, and breathe, and things like that, but how do emotions work? how are we capable of feeling things? it is so weird to think about!
Emotions are really just what we feel when the body produces certain hormones and chemicals which react with certain parts of the brain. The initial feeling triggers the body to produce more or less of certain chemicals in our brain, which causes the feeling or emotion to be sustainable rather than lasting for a split second and disappearing.

Get out of this relationship, pronto! This man obviously needs to have the upper hand, which means he doesn't love you at all. He just wants to control you.

Just because your relationship with him ended, doesn't mean that he can't have a successful relationship with another woman.

Totally blew me off on Valentine's day and bragged to his friends about it, forgot my birthday, and told me (in front of his mother, his whole family, and all our friends) that I'm not good enough to sleep in the doghouse with the dogs, then proceeded to try and break my arm off my body.

Whats going on if a girl keeps bleeding during sex play? i thought virgin's only bleed once after their first time. no?
What kind of foreplay was going on when she started bleeding? You might be too rough, causing small tears in her vagina that can be quite painful. Try being gentler, or use some kind of lubrication (like KY).

Answer to:
Are you in a relationship that you "know" you just need to get out of but you can't bring yourself to do it?
Yes I am. It's complicated because we have kids together (well, WE have one and I have a child from a previous relationship - but my current boyfriend is the only father figure she's ever known). I don't want a messy break-up because I don't want to hurt the kids, and I don't want to hurt my boyfriend because I still care very deeply for him. It's just that...
Answer to:
Is a guy not interested in you if he doesn't call you everyday?
I don't think it means he's not interested. I think it probably means he doesn't want you to think he's too needy.

That's tough.
Do you really want to stay with this man and end up miserable, because you want a child that he's never going to give you? Do you think you can be happy without a child? Do you think he'll change his mind about children at some point down the road?

Of course he's hiding something! How does he expect you to start trusting him again when he's not being honest with you? It's obvious that he doesn't want you to see his phone bills because he's STILL CHEATING ON YOU! Trust isn't something you can just "get back", he has to EARN IT.
Get rid of him, he isn't worth your time OR trust.

How do you know if your husband really loves you for the right reasons and isn't with you for the kids?
Talk to him about it.
If you feel like your relationship is lacking true, romantic love, then chances are you're probably right! It might not be that he doesn't love you anymore, maybe the spark is just dying out. Talk to him and see if you guys can find a way to reconnect and bring that spark back.
Answer to:
You are just home from work / night out, whatever. What comes off first? How do you start "getting comfortable"? Do you start from the bottom (shoes, stockings and up) or top (shirt/blouse and down)? I think about these things. People interest me.
I lose my shoes as soon as I walk in the door. Then the jacket comes off. Once I make it upstairs to my bedroom, it's usually the pants that hit the floor first, followed by whatever else I happen to be wearing.

Probably not.
If he isn't willing to communicate with you, then this situation is going to escalate. The only way to solve problems in a relationship is to TALK about them and find a solution that works for both of you. His solution (which is ignoring the problem altogether) isn't working. If he's not willing to compromise NOW, then he's not going to change his mind...

I have been going out with my boyfiend for 9 months and he has moved home for the summer, i was to follow a 3 months later and we were on a 'break' but decided to move after a month, during that month i cheated, should i tell him? though still on break
Definitely not.
Do you want to hurt him? That's the only thing that's going to come from telling him. That, and he'll probably break up with you.
Answer to:
If you are on a break with someone(due to long distance) and you fool around with someone else should you tell them?
I'm a strong believer in "what they don't know can't hurt them".
Unless you WANT to hurt your boyfriend/girlfriend, don't tell them. Nothing good can come of it. You did the deed, now you need to live with the guilt. Telling your partner is only going to make YOU feel better at the expense of their feelings.
Not the way to go, in my opinion.

Yes, you should go to work Friday and Saturday. If I were you, I'd speak to my supervisor and find out why I'm not scheduled for the following week.

I don't understand why you're giving him money.
Either he is interested in you or he isn't. Giving him money isn't going to make him interested in you.
If you'd like to get to know this fellow better, then why not ask him out on a date?
(Hey, maybe he can use that money you gave him to buy you dinner?)

I'm a 38 year old woman and have always had trouble reaching orgasm. I have tried finding the g-spot but it seems to make me want to urinate. What else can I try?
I think the feeling that you need to urinate means you've got the right spot! You just have to find the right amount of pressure and endure the need to urinate (it WILL go away after a few minutes and you'll be REALLY happy that you persisted).

My boyfriend (of over four years! AAARGH!) won't go down on me. If he DOES (which is like, less than once a year since we've been together) he only does it for like, a minute... and of course he's always wanting ME to go down on him. Yeah, right!

For the women: In your opinion without foreplay is sex really any good?
Nope.
See, we aren't wired the same as men. We aren't as aroused by visual stimulation as we are by physical stimulation (kissing, touching, etc).
If a man tries to stick his willy in me without so much as a kiss or some kind of fondling first, it's going to be like rubbing his penis against sandpaper (in other words, I'll be dry as a bone).

However, they are kids and that's what kids do. I remember doing the same thing with my boyfriend when I was 14.

Maybe he felt like you weren't into him? I mean, it's obvious the boy likes you, hello! Just keep in mind that guys aren't good at picking up subtle hints. If you like him, you're going to have to spell it out for him.
I'm 99% certain that he probably thinks you DON'T like him, which is the reason why he has stopped being affectionate towards you....

I'd read the books and articles and also SPEAK directly with my partner about what I can possibly do to improve the sex.

When I am searching websites sometimes I get a child's giggle sound, what does that mean?
That child's giggle is one of the default alert sounds that comes with Windows. Something you're doing must be assigned this sound, which is why you keep hearing it.
You can see and change what sounds are assigned to what events by going to START>Control Panel> Sounds and Audio Devices> and clicking on the "sounds" tab.

It sounds as if everyone's rights have been trampled on here.

Instead of looking for alternative answers, why don't you just go get a pregnancy test and find out for CERTAIN whether she is pregnant or not. There are numerous factors that can affect a woman's cycle. The most likely in your case is pregnancy, since you've had unprotected sex.

We had unprotect sex on day 3 during her period. We had unprotected sex for the second time just 2 days after her period, again. She has a 28 day cycle and she was supposed to have her period on the 22nd. She is 7 days late. Does this means she is preg.?
It's unlikely that she'd have been fertile DURING her period, or 2 days after - especially if she has a predictable 28-day cycle. A woman usually ovulates between day 12-18 of a 28-day cycle. During this time, a sperm can fertilize the egg and pregnancy can occur. Most women do not ovulate during their menstrual cycle, but whenever you have unprotected sex there's a chance of...

ping lets us determine how long it takes for packets to travel from the source to the destination and how many stops they make along their way. Ping is also a way to check to make sure computers are connected to the network (if you ping them and don't get a response, they aren't on the network or some network component is blocking transmission).

What are some other ways to optimize your pc beside defragmentation?
Get rid of any installed programs you don't use, trim down your list of startup programs and remove any nonessential programs that are set to run on startup, keep your registry clean of "broken" entries, keep your computer clean of spyware and malware, add more RAM, get a faster processor....
These are just a few that I can think of right now.

My son got a DUI in May of this year and of course his license was suspended. He continues to drive what will be the penalty if he is caught by the police in Nashville Tennessee where we live?
Driving on a suspended license is a misdemeanor here in Virginia. You can serve jail time for your first offense and second offense (up to 6 months I believe) and the third offense labels you as a "repeat offender", is a felony, and carries a mandatory one year jail sentence. You can also have your driving privileges revoked temporarily or permanently for driving on a suspended...

It MAY be in violation of the custody order IF the judge specifically disallowed nighttime or overnight visits from members of the opposite sex while the child is in the home. Normally, daytime visits are fine but some judges make provisions about night time visits.
If your custody order says that you are prohibited from having male visitors after a certain time of...

I started using pill about 3 weeks ago. My boyfriend and i had sex without a condom on the 17th day of my cycle. I know you're most fertile from the 8-19th day..if he didn't "finish" in me do you think the chances of me being pregnant are high?
No, the chances of becoming pregnant on the pill are extremely low (less than 1 in 100).
The hormones in the pill prevent your body from ovulating (releasing eggs). Unless you have missed multiple doses this month, you don't need to worry. I've been on the pill for years, never use condoms, and have never gotten pregnant while using the pill.

Chance? The birth parents signed their rights away when you adopted the child. They can "want him back" til they are blue in the face, but they're not going to get him back. You have been this child's parent for 13 years. No court is going to give a child back to biological parents that gave him away 13 years ago.

I am going to buy a duplex and I want to occupy one side. Can I legally evict one of the tenants whom is still under a lease agreement with the previous owner. There is nothing stated in the lease agreement concerning evictions and new ownership.
A lease cannot supercede the law. Most states require new landlords to honor the leases from previous landlords when they purchase a rental property. Search your state's website for the landlord/tenant codes.
Answer to:
Can I evict a tenant solely on the cause of me being a new landlord of a property and wanting to occupy their residence?
No. You have to honor the lease the tenant had with the previous landlord. Even if it's a month to month lease, you cannot evict a tenant simply because you wish to occupy their residence. You must have a good, legal reason to evict a tenant (ie: nonpayment of rent, etc.). Even having a good reason to evict a tenant doesn't mean you are going to be successful with your eviction,...

Of course you can! An overweight person who develops an eating disorder will be fat, obviously... it doesn't mean they aren't anorexic, it just means that they haven't lost any weight as the result of their eating disorder - YET.

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, or The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion... Or numerous others. Most conventional RPGS have a standard set of character types, which usually includes a rogue or thief-like class of character. There's a relatively new game called "Thief: Deadly Shadows" which is the latest installment in the "Thief" series where you play, you guessed it, a thief!

They've been doing this steadily every weekend for probably ten years.

I had sex 2 days after my period.. I have heard that typically, women ovulate the 14th - 16th day... I have also heard they ovulate the 7th - 10th... and heard the 10th - 13th. I know it's different for everyone, but what is average for a 28 day cycle?
For a 28 day cycle, the average time for ovulation is day 14.
Sperm can live in the vagina for as long as a week, so having unprotected sex in the seven days before ovulation can result in pregnancy if the sperm find a cozy place to hide and wait for the egg.

When working on a shop till, and you are given a cash note by a customer, should you say out loud what it is, ie if its a 20 you say twenty , then give change?
Yes, you should always say out loud the denomination of the bill they give you and then count back the change.

Why do some skinny girls have cellulite (cottage cheese looking stuff) on the backs of their thighs but some large women don't? Is it related to fat or not?
Cellulite is fat, but the formation of cellulite has nothing to do with HOW MUCH fat a person has. Underweight people and people of healthy weights can all develop cellulite.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulite
It isn't really known exactly what causes cellulite, but the general concensus is that there are several factors that come into play.

Answer to:
My girlfriend is on birth control ("Othro Evera" 0.75 mg ethinylestradiol 6.0 mg norelgestromin ). Weve both tested negative for STDs/STIs. Occasionally (following her cycle) we will engage in coitus without the use of a profilatic, how risky is this?
If you're both clean and free of STD's, and you are monogamous (meaning neither of you sleep around), then there's no need to use condoms if you don't want to.
The pill is effective by itself at preventing pregnancy, up to 99% when taken as directed.

I'd interpret it as meaning that there's some burning conflict going on in your life, and you're relying too heavily on someone else to end it for you (that someone else is the captor in your dream). Breaking through the window would signify your ability to resolve the conflict yourself, which is further reinforced by the captor setting you free.

A four year old should have no concept of what's "sexual" and what isn't. If she DOES, then you may need to consider that someone has been inappropriate with this child.
4 year olds aren't sexual, and they shouldn't be. Kids who have been molested often display sexual behavior at an earlier age, because they are affected by what's happened to them.

A bike seat shouldn't irritate your cyst at all. A pilonidal cyst is higher up, near the tailbone, and when you ride a bike you kind of perch on the lower part of your butt.

You can absolutely get pregnant in the first month after quitting the pill.
It only takes about 3 days for the hormone levels in your body to adjust to being off the pill (which is why they recommend backup methods of birth control when you miss three pills).
I got pregnant exactly 2 weeks after quitting the pill, so I'm walking proof that you don't need to wait.
Go ahead...

Let him know that even though you love him and want to marry him, you're not willing to compromise your own future for his ex-wife's debts. They need to reach some sort of agreement to get those debts paid off BEFORE the two of you get married. That way the two of you have a clean slate to start off with. Noone wants to...

Attached or detached garage? I suppose the attached is convienent, but I understand that insurance is less on the detached. Are there other considerations I'm missing?
A detached garage is probably the best way to go. You can cover the area between the house and garage, so you don't have to slog through the rain, and use it as a patio area, too! We have ours completely enclosed, and use it as a bar/hottub area. It's great for parties!

How do glasses correct vision in the long run (aside from when you wear them)? My uncle rarely wore his glasses and later his vision got better and didn't need them anymore. How frequent and infrequent should glasses be worn in order to correct vision?

Regardless of how deeply he penetrated you, there is always a chance of pregnancy when you have unprotected sex.
Even if he didn't ejaculate, there is still PRE-ejaculate fluid secreted from the penis during intercourse. This pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm. Since his penis was in your vagina, there is a chance that there was pre-ejaculate and a chance that you are pregnant.

I was diagnosed a few months ago as being bipolar. I really don't feel as tho I've had a manic episode. Does screaming at your husband uncontrolably, an crying, and hitting him, and feeling suicidal fall under manic, or depressive?
That would be the depressive side.
When you're manic, you'd be unusually happy, and probably have some illusions of grandeur, and you'd likely be very active and scattered.
On the other hand, when the depression sets back in, you'd be lethargic, irritable, stay in bed for days, and prone to suicidal thoughts.

You don't get your period until after the 21st pill in the pack, where the "reminder" pills begin, and if you began taking the pill on the first day of your period then your period should have stopped (mine does, anyway).

Yes, you should be very worried. If you read the packet information that came with your pills, you'd know that missing TWO pills in the same week means your chances of pregnancy increase and you should use a backup method of birth control for AT LEAST a week afterward. Missing two pills in the THIRD week of your pack usually requires you to toss that pack out and start a new one.

The old testament creeps me out. All the people lived to be several hundred years old, and apparently most of them were incestuous as well. I don't believe a word of it.

Did you make sure the adapter is the same voltage and current that the player requires, or did you just use it because the end of the adapter fit into the hole on the player?!

What proof would those who believe in evolution require to consider the possibility that Man was created after the extinction of other hominid species and did not evolve from them?
Let's put it this way...
There's proof of evolution. We KNOW that (or at least those of us who aren't "blinded by faith" do)
There is no proof of god. No proof that god created man.
First, I'd have to see some proof that god created ANYTHING, and that doesn't count some old book that came from who-knows-where written centuries ago.

Me and my bf had a date scheduled for today, so when i get off of work and come home hes not there waiting for me, i walk down to a gas station and call him, hes at his friends helping her w/something, wouldnt a date be more important? what do you think?
I think that if the two of you had already made plans, then he should have stuck to the plans. He could have easily told his "friend" that he'd have to help her another day because he already made plans. Him blowing you off for his friends is a definite sign that he doesn't care about or respect you.

Bottom line, if you say it makes you uncomfortable and you'd rather he not spend the night at ANY girls house (regardless of her supposed sexual orientation) and he does it anyway, then you know where you stand.

Eating more fat will also help keep you full longer, so you won't want to eat as much.

Anyone that can find the answer to this is a saint! I have a baby with a married man. Will my percentage change when he gets ordered to pay support for his son with his wife since they are married?
If he's married to the woman, then she can't file for child support (assuming they live together). Child support is for parents who are seperated and raising the child on their own.
Having said that, if his wife divorces him and THEN files for child support - she'll probably receive considerably less than what you do, since your child support order was in place first.

Answer to:
I have been having a lot of dull period like cramping this week and I'm not due to start for two weeks but had unprotected sex twice. is there a chance i could have gotten pregnant
Cramping isn't a symptom of pregnancy. Any menstrual like cramping during pregnancy is usually cause for alarm, and indicative of an impending miscarriage or some other serious complication.
Some women experience cramping during ovulation. Since you're not due to start your period for two weeks, I'd assume that's what this is.

Of course you could be pregnant. Any time you have sex (protected or not), there's a chance that pregnancy will occur.
By NOT using birth control, you're increasing your chances exponentially. Just because you don't have any STD's is no excuse not to use a condom, especially if you aren't on the pill!

I'm on the pill. I try to take the pill at the same time every day, but I forget sometimes to take it at the same time. So it's pretty much like 1 to 3 hour difference. My boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke. Could I be pregnant?
Taking the pill at the same time every day has nothing to do with how effective the pill will be in protecting against pregnancy.
The reason it's recommended that you take the pill at the same time every day is so it becomes part of your daily routine, and you're less likely to miss a dose altogether.

Some people say having sex during pregnancy is not good and some say it is,i almost had a miscarrige two weeks ago had have not had sex since.Is it a wise idea not to have sex during my whole pregnancy or just not to have sex for 4 weeks until i am well?
What does your doctor say? If your doctor says it's okay, then it probably is. If your doctor says you should avoid having sex, then that's what you should do.
In a low risk pregnancy, having sex won't harm the fetus in any way. However, if you had a threatened miscarriage, then your pregnancy is no longer low-risk (for the time being, at least) and different rules apply.

Low calorie diets generally take the longest to show a weight loss, because it takes 3500 calories to equal a pound of fat (if you're restricting yourself to, say, 1500 calories per day, then you won't see that pound of loss for a week, at least).

After eating pizza pretty much every day, it starts to taste something like cardboard with tomato sauce on it... near the end I had to load up my slices with red...

Do you believe its OK to bring small children and babies to an expensive restaurant
Sure, as long as the restaurant can accomodate small children and encourages parents to bring them along. If they don't have a kids menu, then it's generally recommended that you leave your kids at home.
The smart thing to do is to call ahead and ask if they have a kids menu.

My boyfriend gets and STAYS wet all day at his job, so when he comes home he STINKS from head to toe. I straight up told him he has to leave his shoes/socks outside the door and take a shower and change clothes before he even THINKS about sitting down on the furniture or climbing into bed with me.

If you purposely hit the dog, then yes.
If the dog ran out in the road in front of your car, then it's an accident. The dog should have been on a leash, anyway.

IF I'M NOT ON THE PILL I HAVE HAD MY TUBES TIED BUT I WANT TO POSTPONE MY PERIOD WITH BIRTH CONTROL (I'M 39) PILLS IS IT SAFE TO USE THEM JUST OCCASIONALLY?
Absolutely. In fact, there are pills designed to let you skip your period 8 time per year! It's called seasonale, and instead of the normal 21-day pack of pills with 7 "reminder" pills, you get 3 months worth of pills before you take a break for a period.
You can use regular birth control pills to postpone your period, but it's not going to be as effective to take them...

Sounds like you may have a corrupt boot sector on your hard drive. The boot sector is the sector on your hard drive where OS bootup info is stored. You can reinstall Windows, or try using a recovery disc (if you have one), or choose the "repair" option from the windows installation disc.

Sure, all the time when I was in high school. I actually didn't have a parent living with me at the time who could sign for things like attendance reports or if I needed a note to leave school early, etc, so I had to write them myself.

If you had to choose between medical care or public schools to receive more funds, which would you choose and why?
Definitely public school. Public schools are in lousy shape these days, with many not able to afford textbooks for the students due to budget cuts. Schools are also overpopulated, because there just isn't enough money to build *new* schools or hire more teachers.
It's sad when teachers are spending THEIR hard-earned money on supplies for the students, because the budget...

My last period was May 23/07 and I have still not yet started my period. I am not usually late like this. I got a blood test (hcg)done June.27/07 and it came out negative...is it possible that the blood test can be wrong? Has this happened to anyone?
Blood tests are pretty accurate. The only thing I can think of that may not show up on a blood test would be an ectopic pregnancy (that's any pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus). If you're still concerned, have the doctor perform an ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy, or they can also prescribe a medication that will bring your period on.

I always eat the fries first, so I didn't get around to the sandwich until quite a while later - even though it made me late for an engagment, I...

Why don't you ask her to get a job? Tell her you don't mind helping her through college, but she's got to pull her own weight. How did you think she was paying for college without a job in the first place?
Answer to:
I was recently engaged to a guy. we were planning to get married this June. It ended on a very bad note. and now we both want to get back together. my family hates him coz of what happened. How do I convince them or should i even get back with him?
If they don't like him, chances are it's going to take a LONG time for him to win them back - if it's even possible. I wouldn't worry about it. I know it's tough not to have your family's support, but you really have to make your own decisions. It's a bad idea to get your family so involved in your personal relationships, anyway.

I'd make him repay every red cent, plus interest, and have a long hard talk with him about how likely it is that he's going to wind up in jail at some point - especially if he'd steal from his own mother! Then I'd have him take random drug tests.

Do you know the real facts of Herpes? Did you know even a virgin can contract Herpes and spread it to others. You don't need to have sex or even oral sex to get it.
My doctor says it's possible to contract herpes through shared towels and washcloths as well as sitting in a hot tub with an infected person. It's not as likely as contracting it through direct sexual contact, but it's possible.

How can we sue for custody or emergency custody ourselves without the cost of a lawyer? How do we know which documents to use and how to petition for this? How do we transfer venue of case ourselves?
See if there's a legal aid office in your area. They normally specialize in these types of cases, and if you qualify they offer their services for FREE! Suing for custody is not typically something you can do without a lawyer, as it's a complicated process and one that requires a great deal of legal knowledge to pull off.

I was 15 minutes late for a pill and had unprotected sex the next day a couple of times.. is that bad?
Not at all. Taking your pill at the same time every day is recommended so that taking your pill becomes part of your daily routine and you're less likely to forget to take it altogether. Taking your pill a few minutes or a few hours later than normal has no bearing on the effectiveness of the pill.
Remember, when you're on the pill you're having PROTECTED sex every time,...

Tell her you're glad she was able to find some resolution, and leave it at that. There's no reason to drag her through the mud. She probably didn't realize she was being hurtful by saying that to you.

How do you feel about people smoking in public? Should this be restricted?
I personally don't care. It's not any more polluting than say, driving a car, so people who say it should be banned and then hop into their cars and contribute *more* pollutants to the air than a smoker could ever manage to need to STFU.
Littering is already illegal, if the police ENFORCED it then we wouldn't have to worry about butts all over the ground.

I am planning to get a new laptop and am wondering how to get internet connection with a wireless router? Can someone explain this to me?
I'd assume you need a wireless card on your new laptop. windows XP will automatically alert you if a wireless connection is available. After that, you just have to log in to your ISP.

Alternatively, you may have to reinstall the entire program.

The outer part of the female genitals is called the vulva and it's covered by a thong. The string is just in the back between your butt cheeks.

I think the harshest penalty possible is appropriate.

No. I honestly don't think it's going to get you out of jury duty, either. Your religious beliefs generally have little impact on whether you'd make an impartial juror or not. That depends entirely on the case you'd be sitting in on, though.

I've been on the pill for a while, & I just started my new package today.My bf & I had unprotected sex & then again a little while later, but I'm nervous about the fact that he came all over himself & then he went in me without washin afterwards. Chances?
1 in 100.
When you're on the pill, you are having PROTECTED sex. The pill is designed to protect against pregnancy.
Using condoms in conjunction with the pill will reduce the odds of becoming pregnant, AND protect you against STDs (which the pill doesn't do).
If you're that worried about becoming pregnant on the pill (you shouldn't be), then use condoms as well.

I suffer with cramps in my legs and feet at night. An elderly man in my town told me to put a bar of soap under the sheet at the foot of the bed. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but it works. I've had no more cramps. What about the soap stops the cramps?
the power of suggestion, mainly! Cramps in your feet and legs while sleeping (intermittent claudication) could be indicative of a serious underlying problem such as peripheral artery disease, artherosclerosis, and other cardiovascular diseases. People who experience intermittent claudication are more likely to suffer heart attacks than people who don't.
