depo can be really really brutal. the idea of not dealing with a pill + no periods was very attractive to me. i didn't do any research at all, and i've regretted it for 8 years.
do the research, talk to your doctor, and by all means, utilize google. depo is very *strong* synthetic hormones that take a long time to clear your system and can cause permanent side effects. the...

the feminist attitude tends to focus on women having to do all the home care and child care while the man runs off and enjoys the 'glories' of the career world as if it's a vacation. i can tell you from my...

What happens when you 'stop down' the lens?
when you 'stop down' a lens, you close the aperture (to a larger f number, or stop) and it lets in less light to the film or shutter plane. it also increases your depth of field, or the amount of area of the frame that is in focus.

Does the size of the aperture in a film camera affect how much the camera "sees"?

Why do people always associate gay and lesbian relationships with sex?? Why can't people comprehend gay/lesbian love?
because gay/lesbian relationships are of the romantic/erotic type. a man can love another man as a friend and it's not gay love. once you throw romance and sexual attraction/sex acts into the mix it becomes gay.
Answer to:
Why does God find homosexuality offensive and wrong? Most sins cause pain or hurt to other people, which is a logical reason for a loving god to condemn them. Why would a loving god condemn any sort of love?
because romantic love between two members of the same sex goes AGAINST God's ordained design for human beings. period. marriage between a man and a woman was the first institution God created - before the church, before the law, before anything. He holds it very sacred and takes it very seriously.

i think the biggest thing is practicing a certain amount of self control that you get out of the situation before it escalates to the point that you are no longer in control. say this after me: 'i can't talk to you right now.' let that become your mantra. when you say it, leave the room, go somewhere else - whatever you have to do to relax to the point where you can talk again....

How to remove baby oil from a baby's hair?
baby shampoo or dawn... and please, if you must use oil on baby, use something like olive oil or another natural oil. baby oil is a petroleum derived product, and it's got more impurities than mineral oil, which is worse than motor oil when it comes to how well refined it is.

I have a problem with the book, "The Secret." Especially the video. I have never read or seen anything that bothered me in this sort of way. I'm a Christian, is that it? Does anyone else have any feedback?
generally, if it bothers you, don't read/watch it. it may be that the Holy Spirit is telling you that it's not good for you to indulge in that particular book, or it just may be your conscience telling you that the philosophy of the book is wrong. i doubt you'd be any worse off for not participating in that particular piece of literature/film.

Why do I get really drowsy and sleepy after I eat filling meals?
it's called food coma, and i believe it's caused by release of relaxing chemicals in the brain in addition to the blood flow being focused on the digestive tract to handle such a meal. certain foods counteract this, such as proteins like eggs, and others exacerbate it, like those that contain the amino acid tryptophan, which aids in the production of serotonin.

So overwhelmingly, people think forgiveness can be done without contrition (see earlier post). If we can do it, does God do it?
God doesn't have to.
we are bound to forgive (especially if asked) regardless, because we are sinful and have trespassed upon others. it's a humility thing.
God, however, is perfect, cannot abide sin(it's against His very nature) and requires some form of atonement, and that atonement (Jesus Christ) is not accessible without contrition and the action of asking for the...

i second the counseling that other posters have suggested. it sure sounds like a failing in both parts. porn is not the answer... it's considered infidelity by many and you need to get your satisfaction from your wife. however, she also needs certain satisfactions from you. perhaps you should investigate *why* she's withholding sex and what you can do to solve the problem instead...

your daughter is an adult. color has nothing to do with it. it sucks that she's shacking up, but you drove her away.
sorry it hurts, but maybe you should try and welcome the young man into your family. the age difference shouldn't matter either, they're only 3 years apart. if those are your only reasons to be displeased with him, then they're not great ones, honestly.

Why would God murder innocent people, children elderly, all the animals, and just safe same random dude named Noah? That sounds pretty F'ed up.
there's plenty undeniable evidence in creation, plus faith does come into play. He also showed Himself through His Son.
truthfully, even those who will not believe now, won't believe if He were to come down to this earth and scream, HEY I'M GOD! simply because they're so blind. they won't after He returns for His church. most people will just continually reject...

Why would God murder innocent people, children elderly, all the animals, and just safe same random dude named Noah? That sounds pretty F'ed up.
God killed off humankind becuase they became so depraved, that only one person, named noah, even thought of Him. people were so bad in noah's time that God regretted creating people in general. He did it to start afresh and allow humans and animals to start with a cleaner state.
it might seem screwed up to you, but God is God and He is sovereign over all we see. He understands far...

How much would a decent digital camera cost? I need to cover my butt to get another one since my dad wont get one for my birthday.
that depends on what you want to do with it... do you want to take snapshots for 4x6 prints or sharing on the web, or are you wanting to pursue some serious photography?
for snapshots/4x6 prints, most point and shoots will do. i recommend canon's elph or powershot line. they run between 100-500 clams.
for wanting to pursue serious photography, i recommend starting with the canon...

I'm 44, he's 21. We clicked and had feelings before anyone said their age. We can't find any problems with our relationship. Is this age difference that bad?
it's an enormous gap, and you may run into some maturity differences (i myself would have a hard time not thinking of him as a 'kid' if i were your age) but if you're prepared for the garbage you'll get from family and friends, and your maturity levels match, i don't see why it's bad at all. diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

Is love really true when you are in your teenage years about 13 or 14?
i'm not sure.
i don't think, in most cases, that it is though. it may *feel* true... but it's not. because you don't really learn for real what love is until you've had to stick with someone for a long time.
mostly what you experience in early teen years is lust and infatuation. infatuation is a heady, intense feeling that causes people to sometimes make...

well, consider why he won't stay in his bed. most children that young will come into their parents' bed for security. they wake up in the middle of the night and get scared, so they come in to mommy and daddy's room for comfort. there's nothing wrong with that. when he's older, i might be a bigger deal, but for now, he's only two, and it's a part of...

The skin on my hands and lower arms is red, very dry, and flaky and it hurts. I've tried lotions and hand crèmes but they only make it hurt worse. Can I try something else, or make it go away?
it sounds like eczema, which is an autoimmune condition usually aggravated by allergies. you can try steroid creams, hydrocortisone, etc, and it's good to explore one's diet and get allergy testing done too. if you can find the culprit and eliminate it, it will make your skin much happier.

they're a curse in that they enable lazy parents to be even lazier. it kind of irks me to see...

What's your opinion of this statement: If a man works a full-time job to support his wife and himself, no kids, and his wife does not work at all, he's within his rights to expect his home to be clean and a hot meal being prepared when he gets home.
managing a nest for a childless couple is not difficult or demeaning. it's actually the sweeter end of that deal.. because it takes about three hours per day on average to keep a home clean and maintained and make sure that food preparations are made when it's just two people (the responsibilities and time increase significantly when children are introduced into the picture), so the...

Answer to:
If I had sex with my girlfrield 3 days before she was going to get her period, and then she missed it, what are the chaces that she's pregnant?
still pretty dang good. a girl can get pregnant any time between ovulation and the end of her period. it just depends on when she ovulated and when you have sex and the longevity of that particular egg.
best advice: birth control of some sort. her on the pill, and you using a condom. or better yet, don't have sex. that's the ultimate pregnancy preventer.

My 15 year old intelligent, self confident grand daughter is vain. She won't pass any reflection of herself w/o remarking how pretty she is. She is pretty, but she is obsessed with peoples looks or lack of. Is this a phase or is she just shallow.
it could be a phase, or it could be the development of a severe character flaw... the only way to get through it is to try to instill some humility in her, regardless of where it stems. i think most teenage girls are hypersensitive about looks, and can get a big head if it's encouraged.
