Answer to:
Who knew that Mary Shelley, the creator of Frankenstein, is considered to be the originator of science fiction? I did not. Did you? I wonder who came up with that one.....I think varieties of science-fiction were evolving before the name sci-fi ever was coined. It used to be called witchcraft...or magic....perhaps? There are stories in the bible and in the torah and in the koran which could fit into the category of sci-fi these days!

If a man disappears on a woman he's seeing, is it safe to say that he's just not that into her? And if he's not, why would he reach out to her again? Best guess: he is shopping around still. Not to say he isn't interested, he simply may be checking out the others to compare and contrast before making any commitments. Just don't be too eager to take him back....let him voluntarily give you his reasons for disappearing....

Can boredom be a mental disorder? I really have nothing to be that bored about, but yet I can't remember the last time I woke up excited for something. Boredom is not a mental disorder. However, if you find you feel very little joy, happiness, excitement, you might want to consider looking up 'dysthymia'. That is a form of mild, but persistent depression. Chronic boredom is a symptom.

My girlfreind is having a affair with married man , i want to tell hes wife , or do i confront him ? i ask her and she denies it and tells me im nuts !! what do i do. the problem is , is that i love her ! Love is not enough for a healthy relationship. If she is having an affair (regardless whether the guy is married or not), she is NOT worthy of you. She is messing with you...she is not ready for a monogamous committed relationship. On the other hand...you'd better have proof...not just a hunch or a feeling...the next time you confront her. What if you are WRONG?

Answer to:
If you just started dating someone and there seemed to be mutual interests, but the other person is not active in pursuing further, is it wrong to date others? If you just started dating, then it is not a monogamous committed relationship. So, date to your heart's content!

Biblical archeologists have been working for years looking for good evidence if Jesus. Have they found any? Yes. Jesus was very likely a real person...a charismatic leader and teacher.

There really wasn't anything you could have done besides knocking on HER window and giving her a phone number of a local women's shelter.

There is a bill under consideration that would allow BO to shut down the internet if He thinks there is an emergency. That's what the Chinese did during Tienenman Square. Are you conderned? I think that under extreme circumstances your 'powers-that-be' should do whatever it takes to protect you. The internet was a fledgling entity at the time of Tienanman Square and not used to nearly the same degree for terrorist activity as it has been and could be today. My humble opinion, anyway.

They should have the authority to protect your money....and pull the carpet out from under any business receiving your taxes if the contracts and agreements are not met.

No....it is simply cleaning out the uterus of material not needed as no egg attached to the uterus wall, so it is redundant.

If my nose doesn't feel right for most any reason, I usually plug it shut for a second at a time. Just a few minutes ago, I plugged it again and started bleeding from it once I let it go. Why might this be? The inside of your nose is a mucous membrane...and should always be slightly moist. If your nose "doesn't feel right" perhaps it is too dry. As you hold your nostrils together the 2 dry membranes stick...and can irritate...and may bleed. Perhaps take a look at remedies in a drug store for dry nasal membrane...or try applying a tiny bit of Vaseline or some such ointment.......

Identity is such an important thing. Memories, community, experiences, family, friends...they form the sum total of who you are. What happens when memory is erased through accident or disease? Could you function? How hard would it be for you? There are documentaries about this kind of thing...and it seems really hard for the individual who is 'starting over' in a new life with 'new' family....but I think it would be much harder for the loved ones.

When you accuse someone of being gay/homosexual/lesbian, is your intention to flatter, insult, or simply to attract attention? If I were to call you a "homo" would you be flattered or upset?

If it were meant as an insult I would give you a piece of my mind regarding your ignorance. However, I rather feel you would never do anything like this?

I hope he got the message that the secrecy was even worse than the 'emotional cheating'....and he is skating on thin ice.

These betraying cheaters do what they do because they're getting old, long in the tooth, and need to test out their virility, desirability and attractiveness. They lack confidence,they're insecure and immature! They're scairdy cats. What do you think? Sure. That may explain the mid and later aged ones. What about the ones who have a life-time habit (it seems) of cheating and betraying? Is it a dash of sociopathology, plus a dab of lack of integrity? Plus extreme arrogance? Plus never ever having to face real consequences? Plus having no heroes who don't also have mammoth flaws in character? Plus...no real solid male role models?...

What purpose does asking for first and last months rent serve at the beginning of a tenancy? Where I live it's not legal to ask for a damage deposit so what's the point?

Let him sweat it out for days on end as he is waiting for the shoe to drop. That may sort him out.

In love with a great man who says he loves me but doesn't really act like it. He's only affectionate when he wants sex. Is it my fault? Should I dumb him? Does he really love me? What can I do to make him more affectionate? If he doesn't meet your needs NOW...he certainly won't in the future. You cannot MAKE him more affectionate...you can ask him to be...you can show him how.....but if it isn't his nature and he isn't willing to change....you're either stuck with this and you will have to accept him just the way he is - or dump him.

I was thinking about an awning to attach netting but that can be pricey. Any ideas? Find someone who can attach a panel of plexiglass the whole length of your balcony..about 14" wide and attached at an angle leaning toward you. Pussy cat may jump up but will bang her head a couple of times....and learn that altho she cannot see it, there is something there which hurts!! Problem solved.

I have a 5-month old Yorkie that I've had for about two months. My biggest problem is that he still poops inside instead of outside! How long did it take other owners to fully potty train their Yorkies? Tips? There are soooo many books available on training puppies...it should take about a week if done correctly. I take it your puppy is not crate trained? Confine the pup to one room.....do NOT leave it unattended..whenever it eats or sleeps, immediately pick it up an take it outside to a particular spot....have a little pen, if possible, so he is always taken to the same spot and cannot run...

Sometimes, it is necessary in order to make a message really clear for someone. We all understand that....the apology and the brevity is what keeps the boundary between politeness and rudeness clear.

Im bothered over this friendship my bf has with this girl, he told me shes flirted with him, but she stopped, now i dont think so and i send my bf a msg tht im not ok with it, and its depressing me.. i havent heard from him yet,buti feel weird&embarrased? If he is worth anything as a bf he will take into consideration your discomfort..as they are valid feelings. If he changes nothing in his behaviour to respect your feelings, it follows that he is not worth your attention. Pay attention to how a bf makes you FEEL. Respect yourself enough to end a relationship where your needs are not met or your feelings are not respected. It won't get...

Anyone need rubber bands? I can't seem to throw them away. So I save them in plastic bags...from newspapers, vegetables, whatever. I can't remember ever discarding one. So if you need them let me know and they're yours. Anyone interested? Ha! I just threw out a big bag of rubber bands which I must have had for 20 years....they were all so brittle that they broke. Bought another big bag of mixed sizes to replace them. You want my collection of cardboard boxes...from small to extra large...all dry and stored for years in case I need them?

Answer to:
Assuming one's belief in something is very strong, why would it be harmful to listen to opposing views? Interesting question.....my response is that it is a benefit to listen to opposing beliefs so that one can formulate informed opinions etc. What comes to mind in relation to that is that the powers-that-be in many religious organizations, who forbid the dissemination and exchange of ideas obviously agree with that....they do not want their 'flocks' to HAVE other thought-provoking...

Is it true that people of higher IQ find it harder to relate to average people? If so, do people of higher IQ relate better to each other? This is not a scientific answer..just my opinion...but it makes sense to me that people with higher IQ may relate better with people of similar gift. NOT TO SAY that this is a factor in relationships ....we make friends for many other reasons...but to have a profound intellectual "meeting of the minds" must be very satisfying and therefore a cognitive relationship would be established...

I do NOT consider this walking away from a problem in a negative or cowardly way. It takes WAAAY more courage to walk away that to get caught up in a fight..or a screaming match.

We go out of our way to state our opposition on specific things when we disagree with others...do we ever go our of our way to find commonality in other areas with these very same people? Do you suppose we might really like them if we got to know them? Sure. It is the process of getting to know the similarities and differences with people which makes 'making friends' so interesting. This forum isn't really about making friends though, so looking for the commonalities isn't a priority.

One of the purposes of going to College is to be exposed to a variety of ideas..stretch your mind/brain...widen/broaden your world. That way you can have a variety of ideas from which to choose what makes sense to you and what doesn't. Agree or not? Absolutely agree. You can learn the content of a course from books...from being shown...from experience...from life situations...but the beauty of education and the institutions of higher learning is that you learn to really think objectively, deduct, induce, debate, argue constructively..and develop theory. The ability to discuss with others, especially those with differing opinions, values,...

My son who is 8 just told me he saw his older sister get raped but she said he is lying who should i believe? How old is your daughter?....no matter the situation, if she is a minor (wherever you live) it was rape.

I hope this isn't a serious question! Are you trying to get a debate going? If you ARE serious..... Under the law in most civilised countries what you are doing is child abuse. He is probably peeing because he is being frightened and humiliated...it is an automatic bladder release...and he cannot help it.

It must be in HIS parole conditions that there is no contact. If you haven't broken the law then there would be no reason to set conditions on you.

Who is more likely to destroy America, liberals or terrorists? As an interested outsider I am really surprised by number of folk who seem to equate the word 'liberal' with a dirty word. I don't get it. We're not talking Marxism or communism here....we are talking about stemming the greed that got your country into such an economic mess. We are talking about saving jobs and helping the everyday Joe with a hand up (not a hand out) to tide...

I have been constipated for a 24 hours now, what do i do!? Prunes or prune juice is a gentle natural remedy. 24 hours of constipation is nothing serious....getting to 48+ hours is a little more worrisome. Take a stool softener capsule (available at the drug store)right away.....stools get hard as they sit in your colon...and can hurt or even create a fissure when passed.

Why does the world hate women so much? Everywhere I look, there is so much violence against women. Even in porn, a lot of it these days is about humiliating and hurting women. Why? The world does not hate women. Some people do....some men do...but even the oppression in other cultures which we see isn't about hate...it is about fear of loss of control. Porn is about power and control oth for the men and (weird though it may seem) also for the women. Assault and violence is about power and control. Rape, too.

When a gay or lesbian couple marry, who wears the dress and who wears the suit and tie? I havent never been to a gay wedding and wouldnt know. Also who stands at the alter and who gets to be given away? Two women will often both wear female attire...and the men both wear tuxedo's or suits....but anything goes, really. Perhaps both are given away by a family member or a good friend...or neither....and both stand at the altar. The 2 weddings I have attended had the couples both walk down the aisle together....wrote their own vows. One wedding, the women both wore a simple, yet formal white...

How do i deal with a friends death when im afraind to open up to people about it? I wonder why you are afraid to open up to friends...could it be that if you do it will be truly real at last?

Those people are safe to talk to, certainly understand what you are experiencing...and can be very helpful in this process.

Your friend will insist it was a joke...but at least you have 'called' him/her on it. If it continues...consider it a serious potential problem.

However, don't raise your hopes too high....it will feel awkward and fake to him if it is not in his nature to be reomantic...and that is aversive.

If you dated someone and they had things from other ex's around their house, clothes, cards, etc...how would you feel about it? Would you ask them to remove those things? No...the only thing I would comment on would be if there was a framed photo prominently displayed. They are all from before you....therefore not to do with you. Rise above it.....

How did you honestly feel about Answerbag, specifically in 2008? It was an interesting place to kill a little time in between life events....and continues to do so.

My bf hangs out with his friend thats a girl more than he does with me? what does that mean? & he told me they were talking once but he said he was just kidding to make me mad? Do not show jealousy...nothing will turn him off quicker. It may mean nothing....if it does good you've found out early. If it doesn't and you back off from the judgement, you will rise in his estimation. Don't take the bait......he may be testing to see if you are a possessive girl.

Answer to:
Why is the non-custodial parent of a divorce required to support a child after high school. The child is now an adult who is electively choosing to go to college, and the non-custodial parent is an adult who doesn't have the right to electively pay? Because education is of significant value to the kid's future....if a child wants to go on to college, it is common that both parents share the costs. Instead of your money being child support you can now call it education support and pay specific costs of post sec. schooling. It is healthy for all 3 of you to contribute...the mom, you and the kid (by taking a part-time job - or getting a...

We have three grand boys ages 10, 7 and 3. They are nice kids while at our house until their parents come to get them. Then they turn into little monsters fighting each other, yelling, roughhousing, etc. Why do they do this? Any ideas or advice? The kids are competing for their parent's attention. Negative attention is better than none. There isn't much you can do, as it isn't about you. It is about the dynamics between the parents and the kids....they can get help with those behaviours if they want to do the research.....lots out thee!

I heard anti-depressants cause weight gain. I asked my doctor and she said the only thing that causes weight gain is what you put in here (pointing to her mouth). Which is true? SOME antidepressants increase appetite.....Welbutrin is one. It boils down to self-discipline, naturally...but when one is depressed one has very little self-motivation, self-discipline, energy....those are hallmarks of the condition. So...it isn't always about choice...the illness controls even that.

My best friend is like a sister to me. Is it right for her and her husband to go do fun things together with my ex-husband who they know was unfaithful to me? I am remarried now and they are friends with my husband now too. It is unfair of you to expect them to cut your ex out of their lives. You must try not to expect them to take sides here. Your ex was their friend too.... It is hard..but you must rise above it. They are not being disloyal to you....especially as you are married again and you are all getting on with your lives.

I'm fourteen years old and I have never had a boyfriend. I'm nice, funny, smart. What's wrong with me? Ask all of the questions you would like, I don't care what it is either, I need to know why guys don't want to go out with me. P.S. Take a look at the type of girls that the boys are 'sniffing around'. Are they nice...it the same way as you are nice? Boys of 13 to 16 are usually pretty horny...and will often gravitate to girls who are NOT necessarily NICE, SMART, FUNNY. If you get my meaning. There are exceptions of course....just stay nice, smart and funny....eventually, you will attract boys who are...

Ask all of the questions you would like, I don't care what it is either, I need to know why guys don't want to go out with me. Listen, ladies......this is not a race or a competition! You are very young and the guys around you of your age are much younger emotionally and cognitively. Take the time to 'shop around' in that you can see what you like, and what you do not like about a guy. Be very fussy and particular. Expect to be treated with respect.... Guys your age, generally speaking, don't really...

Is it o.k. for a husband to go on "party weekend" without wife, saying that she could not handle it, and that he deserves it, even though we do not get away just ourselves? No.....if it is something you 'could not handle'...then it is something you would not approve. Not good for a marriage...too secretive and menacing, if you ask me. He deserves nothing of the kind.....what a con!

How do you find the strength to leave someone you love very much if you know they are wrong for you? Do you follow your heart or be realistic, even if it hurts? Be realistic...the hurt is then short term. Following your heart when you know he is wrong for you will guarantee that the hurt will continue and persist...and accumulate. Do what is in your best interest - long term!

Should homeschooling be allowed if for all intents and purposes the parents just want to control their childs exposure to the real world in a manner that will negatively impact their adult life? In what way would it negatively impact their future lives? People I know who homeschool do not exclude their children from social and sports activities and the kids are all really well balanced and integrate well with other kids in their neighbourhoods. The parents believe that the negative influences are from the school environment...bullying, swearing, peer pressure, one teacher for 35...

I'm 16, I just started dating a guy almost 3 years older than me, and my parents think it's too big an age difference. I skipped a grade though, so all of my peers are 17-18, and that's how old I think of myself. What should I do about my parents? Understand their point of view....acknowledge that they are saying that because they want to protect you from someone who isn't going to settle for a handshake at the end of the date....and ask them to respect your choice enough to allow you to bring him home so they can meet him. Offer to have him come over regularly for family meals...family outings...etc. Let them find out he's a...

Do you agree that there is a fare amount of trust, in the the promise of a phone call ? If you have just started seeing someone new and they promised to call and didn't, could you trust them by there "word" anymore? Unfortunately, it is the most common 'kiss off' comment given after a first or second date. If someone says they'll call you - and they do not - the message is that they're just not that interested in you.

You MUST tell her....she will eventually find out anyway and then she will be angry that you weren't the one to tell her. Tell her a story about when you and daddy met...and how he fell in love with both mommy and her. That is sowing the seed. When she ponders on this, you answer her questions ...she'll be curious about why daddy isn't her 'real' daddy. Then you tell...

If a person cheats does that make them a bad person? I think so what do you think? I dont think a cheater is a good person. No. It doesn't mean they are a bad person. It means they are a human being - infallible - and they made a huge mistake. Some learn from the bad feeling they get, and don't repeat. Others make a habit of it. But even that person can be good on so many other dimensions.....just not a good spouse, perhaps.

There is this girl in my class that I sort of know. I might ask her out to go to a bookstore with me, but should we find a place to sit or just look around? Because I might take her to a coffee house afterwards. Sure. A bookstore is a good safe first date kind of place. Find one where there is a coffee shop close by - or even inside. One way to get to know someone is to know what kind of books they like to read, so wander around...and show her book YOU like and ask her to do the same.

How will you continue education?

You hardly know her, so buying her a Christmas gift is not appropriate anyway. You may have blown it. Do step gently now...don't harass her with texting and so on.....best to give or send her a little card with a sincere apology...and a mention of looking forward to your movie date.
