My girlfriend told me her top came off at the beach, and a whole bunch of her guy friends saw her tits. Me as her boyfriend how should I react?For some reason I was pissed,its not her fault... but I acted supportive and ok. why is it still bothering me?
It seems to be rooted in the feeling that she's 'yours' and the vision of her naked breasts should fill your head only. That can lead to jealousy issues!
Good for you to act supportive, it can be embarrassing to unintentionally flash people.

Tons of junk, I used to make a statement 'I'll probably be dead by 26.'
So now I have no plans for life as I'm quite a few years older! Geesh I was a wild child, never thought of the consequences. If I hadn't had such good friends I would definitely not be around today. The hubby probably had a hand in it too. :)

I do my best to notice good things about people and point them out.
When people are unable to give them out it's usually for the following reasons:
-insecurity, you don't want to give someone an 'edge' over you
-jealousy/envy, makes you unable to pay out a compliment
-depression, when you just can't SEE the good things

I am a college student who ended a long relationship 4 months ago. my ex BF got a new gf in 3 weeks. She keeps tracking me down and wanting to talk to me. I do not want to talk to her...what could she possibly want to say to me?
If it was a good guy she probably wants to check out his taste in women, possibly he has said some stuff that's made her curious.

News is sensationalized anyway so I'm always looking for the spin. I guess I'm just an optimist that way. ;)

Last week this guy was head over heels for me and wanted to be with me but i said i need time and he said he would wait as long as it takes, he lost his football game and now it seems like he just wants nothing to do with me right now, what should i do?
Wait it out or just be supportive. It sounds like he's bummed and doesn't have the energy to put into a new relationship. Even if you had an established relationship together he may have withdrawn, I would just give him some time. Maybe now is the time to get him a favorite protein bar and slip it to him?
Good luck!

Tell them you appreciate their enthusiasm and don't want to burn out their ideas. Let them know after a probationary period (60/90 days maybe?) you will give them a project or something else to head with a submitted agenda/project synopsis for your approval.
Many times if you let them know they will be appreciated it will tone down that burning need to make an impression. If they are...

I just saw a Celine Dion Concert. It was spectacular and widely viewed. Why do people make fun of her? I don't get it?
It might be partially because of her style (she's not "pop") partially because of her accent, partially because of her citizenship. She also has made it clear her career is just that, a career, and doesn't play into her legions of fans so I think some of it is sour grapes.

If it might take too long to get corrected I'll tell my kids that's the reason and try to reach a compromise, like switching some food or saying we'll get a dessert somewhere.
Usually I will say something because it teaches the child how to ask for something they want and how to deal with a potentially negative situation.

In Alabama from date of filing it only takes 30 days to finalize (with complete agreement between parties). Sometimes it can take months to be able to file depending on the current case load. If you have to mediate or are fighting over division of property or custody of course it can take years.
For the actual laws in all...

Is it true that every night you don't wash makeup off, you age your skin 18 days?
No, in fact some make up helps protect your skin overnight. Many people actually strip protective oils from their skin when cleaning their faces.
Remember makeup goes on the epidermis which is provided by diffusion from the dermis, the layers underneath. The top layers slough off naturally in about a month's time.

As salt lowers the freezing temperature of water (hence why salt is used to melt ice in roads and walkways, etc) with all other factors being the same sugar water would freeze faster.

Sometimes I blurt out something without building it up.. I really have no sense of timing for humorous stories.

If he cheated there were underlying issues of some sort, and if he decided to OD then there were other issues involved whether it was a chemical imbalance or some other reason for depression.

Answer to:
Do you believe that negative thinking is an unproductive habit that may be directed by a different personal awareness? If so, what types of techniques and/or methods have you employed to 're-script' these?
I literally re-think them, halting in mid-stream or following it by a positive thought.
IE: "Can't he leave this alone, I'm taking care of this project!" Followed by "It's good to know he cares enough about the customer to go over every detail." Usually right between the two thoughts is what makes the most sense but banning the wholly negative thought...

If you are invited to a "dinner" and you get to the restaurant and everything is "a la carte" and the prices are crazy and people will be drinking like fishes and then will "split the check at the table", what is a graceful way of bowing out?
If you have a friend or partner with you tell the group something came up that you need to speak with the other person about and you need to be seated separately. At that point it would only make sense you have a different check.

I always got the drink straight from the bartender or server, then usually had a short conversation with the buyer. Every once in a while it was a long conversation :)

Do you think about the one your having sex with, or is someone else on your mind?
I am all there with my lover. I may have flashes of an erotic image or a side thought to something else but I like to concentrate on the person I'm having sex with.
Otherwise, I mind as well bust out a Mr. Rabbit and fresh batteries, what would be the point?

If a man has worked for the same company for 10 years is that a sign that he'd be a good bf? I think it shows he's dependable and stable.
Yes, it could show a dependable and stable person, or it could show someone who is stagnated with no ambition or drive. A lot of it has to do with the field and job, for example what if this 10 years was spent being the greeter at Wal-Mart? Not exactly the same picture as a CEO of a fortune 500 in the same circumstances.
Of course, that still has nothing to do with being a good boyfriend. :)

These are the questions you need to ask yourself. Everyone has an off day or just feels restless. If you are happy with the answers you give yourself you are fine.

How much do men like bigger breasts compared to smaller ones? I've heard some men say small breasts are cute, and it doesn't matter how big they are, but I've heard other men say that big breasts are "sooo hot" and they would prefer a woman with big boobs
I think visually men like bigger breasts, however when they get into a relationship it doesn't matter as much.
I have an 'average' C cup chest which most of the time is under wraps, but when I bring them out in a low cut top and a push up bra they get a lot of attention. It's just a matter of a big chest brings sex immediately to most men's minds.

I feel that my g/f's ex is conniving, and was upset that he sent her a msg saying "I had a dream about you, i hope all is well" and she hid it from me til she could figure out a way to handle it. Was that right for her to do?
I had the exact thing happen to me. When I first got married my ex sent a letter to me, not wishing my marriage well but saying he'd be there for me and wished things were different between us. My husband was very angry when he came across this letter and felt if I was unsure what to do with it I should have talked it over with him (at that point it had been a month since I received the...

Have you ever tried a polyphasic sleep pattern?
I love the 'Seinfeld' episode about polyphasic sleep. They showed the character (Kramer) acting goofy and sleep deprived plus clueless about how to use the additional time.
I looked into it recently because of an emotionally trying time. I slept for about 2-4 hours a night at most in 2 hour intervals. I really did have a lot of extra time but it made work seem so dull and the day...

>_< lol, actually, never thought about it. I think I'd find it interesting. Most people do it for the sensations so I'd be interested in finding out if it was true..

Answer to:
How do you get legal revenge on someone who abused you?
The best revenge you can get on an abuser?
Heal and be happy. Let them know by example they have no power over you. Most abusers like the control, to make another person feel powerless.
If you want to explore all your options consult a lawyer (all states have slightly different laws) however I would suggest you use your funds and energy on leaving the abuse/abuser behind.
Best wishes.

You have a good chance the seeds will germinate. The most common method of propagation is by separating the rhizomes or cuttings, although once they become established you may have the opposite problem- keeping them under control!
Lovely, sweet smelling flowers.

Would you stay with someone if you absolutely love them but you think that things may not work in the future (i.e. what you want in a relationship in the future... for example, do not want to work opposite shifts and want to see each other more).
Stay with them. Work shifts change, the future is not set in stone.
I would change that statement if the future item is a complete deal-breaker, and one person will not change.
For example, I have a friend who became a missionary and moved to Japan. That was his goal, nothing was going to change his mind. If his girlfriend wanted to stay Stateside, that would have been a deal-breaker.

Others? Yes. I'm usually the one people go to and say, "Can I talk to you about something I don't want a lot of people knowing about?" =X Mum's the word!

Answer to:
If you were a millionaire, would you still work or quit your job and live off the money? If you would quit, wouln't you get bored eventually of having no routine in your life?
I have a little saying I tell my kids when they whine to me ‘I’m bored!’:
“If you’re bored that must mean you are boring, don’t you have any thoughts in your head?”
Yes, I would still work but I could choose what type of work or entrepreneur project I would devote my energies. That is a very liberating feeling!
Answer to:
If you had not slept at all, would you still get up and go to work or would you phone in sick?
For the past few months I’ve been getting 2-5 hours of sleep with some sleepless nights. I’ve gone in every day, except one where I was sick, my first sick day taken this year.
I’m a machine, baby! ;)

Answer to:
Can anyone name a really good song that tells someone "I forgive you"??? (If possible, please provide the lyrics!)
Here is a slow R&B tune
"I'll Forgive You"
-Bobby Valentino
Lyrics :
[Verse 1]
I might as well admit it
That I still miss you
I know what I said but it's
Kind of hard for me
And it's hurting me
This is bigger than pride
And I wanna give it another try
I'm still torn in two
But love made me make this decision so
[Chorus]
I'll forgive...
