I love,love,love,love this girl, and until recently, we really got on, but now she is ignoring me, help please, she is perfect...

Answer to:
I stored tea tree oil in a glass jar with a rubber pipette cap for 3-4 months. I see no signs of corrosion but can I still use it? When you squeeze the rubber tip, does it feel like the two sides of the squeeze top stick together? In that case, you'd probably want to replace the pipette... but it can still be used, so long as you don't draw the oil into the rubber top. This sort of depends -- the gas can dissolve the rubber -- I'd only be worried if the bottle was on it's side, and tea tree oil got into the rubber top,...

I don't believe anything I read in commercial news sources -- if you're really concerned about peace between Israel and Palestine -- go work for an NGO, and find out for yourself what's going on there. You can be sure that America, Israel, and all other countries make up lies to fortify their domestic and foreign policy.

A balanced diet, healthy food, and normal exercise will get you a healthy body -- counting calories is okay -- but a little obsessive -- since calories don't tell you the ratio of carbs/protein and fat -- and you need some of each -- fat is good for the brain, so make sure you get enough.

But the crafty small book shops, that innovated, by specializing on just a few subjects succeeded. Now Borders is faced with new innovations in it's business -- but, it failed to innovate.

My wife has been in menopause since 27,now 40, she has issues with intercourse (bleeding, dryness. Is it wrong for me to seek sex elseware? You should be truthful to your wife. I have to say though, I'm not sure she's being truthful to you -- menopause doesn't usually start at 27 -- so she probably has PMS related issues, which the two of you should be able to cope with if you felt like learning about it. Bottom line is -- don't believe what the doctors tell you -- our bodies can be wonders of recovery, if you are willing to do...

Why would someone have drunken sex after a break-up if they are going to feel guilty about it afterwards? Yes... it's none of your business -- though you at some level probably still love him -- but you should let go of taking anything he does personally.

I brush my teeth twice a day and floss occasionally but my teeth seem to get yellow easily and my gums bleed a little when brushing....I also use mouthwash twice daily? I'm seeing a dentist in 2 weeks. But I need to know what's wrong? Teeth feel 'soft'? You should floss every day, at the end of the day -- some people are born with difficult teeth, and they may have to floss after each meal, and that might not even be enough, so those people have to go get their teeth cleaned by a hygienist ever 4 or 5 months... well... that's if you want your teeth to last at least an extra 10 years.

You might burn some fat, but you won't burn all of it -- also, the toxins end up in your organs after you burn them out of your fat, so these other answers have it right -- burn those calories, drink lots of water, and sweat the toxins out... I'd also use a blood cleaner, kombucha...

Sperm can survive inside you for as long as a week -- it has to be alive when you ovulate. So if you're moontime came just a few days ago, it will be about 2 weeks before you should ovulate...

Also, compared to other parts of India, there is less poverty, and it is less crowded. Goa might make a good starting point -- it's a great place to visit for...

I don't think you need to take him to a hospital, but you definitely want a doctor to take a look. If it's near the spine it should probably be removed, but I doubt you'd have to go to a hospital to have it removed. If you're into more natural healing systems, It can probably be treated with acupuncture, or an herbal poultice.

Had unprtected sex 2 times on fri Aug 6th, 2010 and my last period was July 23, 2010. 29 day cycle What are my chacnes of becoming pregnant? pretty high... for most women, ovulation is 14 days after your moontime starts. Sperm lives 7 days -- unless you ovulated way ahead of schedule -- that sperm would be there waiting for the ovum to pop out... if you did get pregnant, I predict a boy. That's assuming you and your partner are *NOT* in the 25% of couples that have fertility problems these days.

You can't be pregnant and on you're your moontime at the same time.

Why does my vagina bodily fluids & mo. cycle fluids make my partner of 19+ years, the tip of his penis burn? What could the problem be?

My mom hates homosexuals, can I change her mind? Only your mother can change her mind -- but about things like this, people tend to be pretty set in their ways. Hatred is based on ignorance -- while you can't call your mom ignorant, you could, in a non-confrontational way -- try to educate her. On the other hand -- even that is problematic, since most people who hate homosexuals, also don't believe people are homosexual -- they consider it...

How long do I dehydrate okra and at what temperature? Not much on the internet about this... recommended temperature is 100F. If you don't at least cut it in half first, it will take a long time to dehydrate ... you'll just have to put some extra pieces in there for taste testing... it will take a day if you cut them open first. If it were me, I'd cut the okra in half (from point to stem) before I laid them out in the dehydrator -- and make sure...

Answer to:
If your partner told you that the person he or she has fallen the hardest for is one of his or her ex's, how would that make you feel? Why? In my experience, the older you are, the less you "fall" for somebody -- while I might at first feel a little crestfallen to hear that my beloved didn't fall the hardest for me -- I'm just reminded that infatuation sucks... when you finally wake up and realize you've fallen for a jerk, it is such a disappointment... you can file this under "M" for male.

Can i take ashwagandha if I am already taking lexapro, lorazepam for anxiety and a high blood pressure medication?

Then slowly wean yourself off that, so that you only use a few drops a day. (You still want to wash but just with water -- except after using a bathroom -- always use a little...

Why are there two months with 31 days back to back?( July & August) It used to be that February was the last month of the year, back in the days of the Roman empire -- as well -- February had 30 days back then during a Leap Year.

So Augustus took the last day of the year, and moved it into August, so August...

I'm the primary beneficiary on my husbands life insurance. He died. Can I have the pay out go directly to the secondary beneficiaries? If you can forego the payout, you can afford an accountant to answer this question... my guess is no -- for two reasons -- 1) it's your husbands directive -- 2) I'm pretty sure the IRS would consider it "a gift" from you to the secondary -- which has it's own tax implications, as it is seen as a way to avoid estate taxes.

Mutual fund is being switched to another financial institution. Should I just accept the automatic transfer? I doubt ML (or anybody) would make an investment decision about your money without your permission. But are you sure the funds are being closed and not just transfered?

I have a HTC Aria phone that drains the battery like crazy. If I get a 1400 mAh as opposed to 1200 which is the stock, will it be better? 1400 mAh is about 15% more charge than 1200 mAh -- the phone will therefore take 15% longer to drain the battery. It's probably the wifi that's draining the phone -- turn it off when you're not using it... in fact, turn off all the radios when you're not using them. Also try lowering the display brightness.

I'd probably consider those in that order too, but it doesn't really make a difference...

Can the same pure HCG formula that is used in injections also be taken orally? probably not... the purpose of injections is to bypass the digestive system... I don't know the dosage involved... but you could mix the HCG into a skin cream, and apply it to your skin -- or administer drops under the tongue -- that would also get it into the blood without the filtering that would occur via the stomach. Best to discuss this with the individual that supplies the HCG.

A developer bought a large block of condos, took control of HOA + changed the rules so I can only rent out one of my condos and have to wait up to 60 days for their approval of a tenant-what can I do? I'd just sell it -- sounds like the new owners are either stacking the deck in their own favor -- or trying to convert the building to "owner occupied" -- either way, it sounds like it interferes with what you want -- but if you're a minority -- all you can do is either create a huge legal battle that you might win -- or move on to easier pickings -- I always go for the easiest pickings myself...

(both happened back in the 80's) This is a tough one... how old are the kids, and how is it, that tou know all the facts? Abortion is one of those things that stirs up a lot of emotions. Some people are extremely judgmental and self righteous about it... that's a good reason to "avoid the subject". I hate being around people who wear they're intolerance of other peoples views on their sleeves like that. It could just be...

Do you believe third world barbarians will inevitably overthrow and enslave the current civilized nations, only to repeat the cycle later? Have you ever been to the third world? Jeez -- I think you have this question completely backwards -- it's the people in the "civilized world" that are enslaved to lifestyles that prop up companies like Macdonalds, Coca Cola and BP -- barbaric poisoners of both people and the planet. I hope somebody can save the planet from our barbaric ways.

Sometime a very casual decision made years ago turns out to be the smartest thing you could have done. What was your smartest decision? Great question -- never realized how serious I am. I have to click back all the way to 1996 to find an interesting "casual decision" that changed my life. Long story short: My mother faced a housing crisis in a small town she had just moved to.

If intelligence has so many advantages why aren't apes evolving towards it and if no need then why did we?

Evidence is bullshit -- it only measures what we can see -- but every day scientists find new evidence about things we've always known, but nobody has bothered to measure, because it can't be monetized. When I die, I will know for sure whether all of me is gone -- until then -- nobody can prove it's an impossibility for something of me to be leftover.

Saying something for which you apologize doesn't get you off the hook. You had to think it before you said it, right? Not really -- people are different, and think differently, and might just be ignorant about what's important to you. Some people are also impulsive, and don't think before they speak.

An apology that is given immediately without prompting is worth something. One that is delayed/scripted by others is a farce. Do you agree?

Most likely -- the tooth that is next to the lost tooth will start shifting into the space created by the missing tooth, and the two bottom teeth will just have a lot less chewing power.

You say that like there's something wrong with being a prostitute -- just because it's against the law doesn't make it a "bad thing". I'd say -- you have to get over it -- and I feel sorry for your S.O. to have such a judgmental partner.

Answer to:
Is it really possible to spot a weed smoker by just looking at someone while they're currently not high? I think so -- when I go into town -- I'm always solicited to buy pot by dime bag pot dealers -- this does't happen to any of my friends -- somehow those dealers can sniff me out, even though I don't smell or look like someone who's just had a toke. And it's not just here in town -- I've traveled all over the world -- this happens to me in other countries as well.

Answer to:
SHORT: After being stopped at a red light it took me 15 sec. to start driving I got ticketed (VC22400A) On what grounds can I fight this? If you don't have grounds to fight it, I'd forget about this -- and story you concoct will surely be torn apart, unless you are a particularly accomplished liar. The only reason I can think of for not crossing an intersection on green is if emergency vehicles are approaching, traffic blocked the intersection, or my car was malfunctioning. If your car was malfunctioning, you should be able...

Answer to:
I got a ticket for making a right turn on a red light at a "no turn on red" corner. The sign is hard to see, and it was nighttime. Can I fight the ticket on those grounds? If you think you can prove to the judge that the sign is hard to see in the night... then go for it... you'd have to present a chart of the intersection to demonstrate what you saw, and take photographs in day time and night time so the judge can see how hard the sign is to see at night.

When can you throw out the stuff your roommate left if they still don't pick it up? My suggestion: give final notice -- tell your friend you're dumping the stuff tomorrow -- tell her where your dumping it and roughly what time, so that if your ex roommate wants it, she can go get it where you're dumping it. If you think there might be trouble around this -- I would dump it *after* you've move... that way you're ex-roommate won't be able to harrass you while you're getting...

Answer to:
does a guilty conscience cause a man to lose his erection? A lot of things could keep a man from standing up... including a guilty conscience...

Do women enjoy receiving oral sex while standing, while the guy kneels in front? sounds pretty kinky to me -- that's the thing about kink -- to each their own -- but the way I see it... if god wanted us to have sex standing up -- he'd have given us four legs. I don't see a lot of women chiming in here -- but it sounds like your girl was more interested in public sex than anything else.

Everyone has a history -- there's nothing wrong with keeping an old lover as a friend. The fact that she didn't want to meet afterwards might mean something -- but it might mean you are thinking about this too hard. You have to work out your feelings about this platonic friend by discussing it with gf directly -- it would probably be best if you all three could be "platonic" friends. It...

I'm 14. I asked a girl out and she said yes but we haven't gone on a date yet. I'm not sure when to kiss her. How long should I wait? You don't have to kiss, or you could go European style, a peck on each cheek when you say hello. You can see how those pecks go -- if not too bad you can do two more when you say goodbye. If you're not comfortable about kissing, then the kiss probably won't be comfortable -- so first you have to figure out how to get comfortable with touching gestures, and moving from there to holding hands...

what's the point of getting married? You might find somebody that's not boring, then you might want to have kids -- in that case, in most countries, marriage grants you and your children certain rights that people living common law have to go to the courts to fight for.

Answer to:
Why do guy asks girl out only to tell her that he wants a "casual" thing but then also tell her he wants to get to know her better? This is two different things -- "casual" means no commitments, take it one day at a time -- "getting to know you better" -- means he likes you. I don't see any conflict here. Just because somebody likes you, doesn't mean you have to get married.

Answer to:
What causes a man to take so long to ejaculate even when he’s with a very sexy woman? At moments like this -- sexy doesn't help -- and if he's having trouble coming -- he's probably also worried about it -- which means it will take even longer. It could be stress from work that distracts him, performance anxiety, or who knows what secrets he's keeping -- maybe he's not being completely truthful with you about something, and it's effecting his sex life.

I have no time for the scientists -- though I like some of the toys they've invented.

When pointing out parenting mistakes a bad parent makes, why is the first thing out of their mouth always "are YOU a parent?" Because people without kids think they know what they're talking about -- even though they haven't a clue how frustrating a little prince or princess in the middle of their terrible twos can be. Unless there is something to report to the police -- it's probably best we mind our own business.

Is it safe to put cats on a vegan diet? No -- cats are carnivores. You could put it on a vegan diet -- but you should discuss it with your vet -- you really need to know a lot about nutrition and food combining, to give your cat the nutrients from vegetables that it would ordinarily get from mice, birds, insects, and any variety of cat food.

The State of PA has created a statute of limitations of 180 days for discrimination, but cruelty to animals has a statute of limitation of 2 yrs. The 2008 census shows blacks represent only 10% of pop. Why do animals have a stronger statute of limitation? Just guessing here -- but animals can't represent themselves -- victims of discrimination can. I think the objective of this limit is to get people off their asses, and deal with discrimination complaints as soon as they happen.

You can't wish you're girlfriend to be somebody she's not -- accept her for who she is, how she is, or look for a new girlfriend that communicates the way you want a girlfriend to communicate with you. The first red flag in a relationship is when you're partner wants you to change.

Also -- flash forms are different from web forms -- your browser probably remembers things you enter on forms, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have access to things you type into a flash form.

If it's neither of those -- then you're diet has too much mucous producing food -- only drink milk in the morning, minimize the amount of bread you eat, and pay attention to what you eat -- if you find certain meals...

I have a sherwood amplifier stereo. i have two small speakers hooked up to it and one big one. the problem is that every time i turn it up loud it turns off and it goes into standby why is this?? the sherwood is brand new. Just guessing -- it's either your amp detecting your speakers can't drive the load, or your speakers are drawing too much power, and your amp can't drive the load. Where did you get the amp -- you should probably ask them about this -- because -- it could also just be that the amp is malfunctioning.

I have heard that an individuals DNA is 3 m long. Is your strand of dna broken up and then assigned to certain proteins to carry it on chromosomes? I know it gets unzipped but how does it know where to cut it? I read about this on wikipedia -- but now I can't find the reference... the cuts are random -- that's why DNA testing works: you have a random mix of strands of your birth father and birth mother's DNA shuffled together, none of your siblings will have the exact same mix of strands you have (unless you have an identical twin).

He said hold on to it as we were going to play that weekend; I couldn't go. He's upset b/c he had to pick it up - am i wrong? I think so -- if you couldn't go -- you should at least have offered (again) to return the club. Though I think he could have been clearer -- if he didn't want to pick up the club -- he should have told you, instead of coming over to pick it up -- and then be mad.

Answer to:
How much rejection can a person take before giving up on dating? Should I just give up on finding love altogether? I'm 49, should I just resign myself to life alone? You could resign yourself -- or you could get help. You have to find out why the rejection is happening -- and work on that. I consider the time in between dates as "preparation time" -- don't go out looking, like the Sheriff said -- just prepare yourself. Someone will come along. If you're really prepared when that happens, you might not face rejection again. Or, when...

But I am very attracted to Italian men, am I wrong to think this way? In my experience, inter-cultural relationships are hard work -- they're also very intersting -- but if you find Italian men attractive -- beware -- I've heard horror stories about philandering mommies boys -- just follow the biography of the current Italian president. His latest girlfriend is a teenager. If that's your type -- go for it -- otherwise -- do your homework -- I...

It's a good time to go wild too -- going wild when you're young is just hormone driven stupidity -- often not even consensual... now you can use your brains, and have fun too.

You might have to redress the wound several times the first day -- basically put on as much gel as the burn draws.

These answers aren't completely correct -- It takes the earth slightly less than 365.25 days to go around the sun, so a Leap Year is *not* every 4 years. It occurs 97 times every 400 years... the next years divisible by 4 that will not be a leap year is the year 2100, 2200 and 2300 after that. The rule is, if a year is divisible by 100 but not by 400, then it is not a leap year.

All other Planets in the universe (that we have found so far) revolve around a sun do so in an elliptical pattern, is this too close to home? I think it's going to take about 5 billion years for the earth to be swallowed by the sun -- can we wait a few more years to worry about this?

I had an unforgettable one night stand while I was on vacation. We did not have sex but did everything else. He is 14 years older but he excites me in a way my boyfriend has never. Now all i can think is of that fantasy to be with him again. What to do? I had a similar experience -- the "hottest" 1-N-S with someone I didn't have sex with -- and I continue to fantasize about it... 8 years later... I think part of what made it so "hot" was thinking about what else could have happened, and also the sort of 'forbidden' nature of what happened... I've built a myth around it -- a lover from a previous life...

How to report a car stolen if you are registered owner and allowed your daughter to use the vehicle but she wont make the payments or return the vehicle? I don't think the car is stolen -- this is like any car loan, if the payments aren't being made, you have to repossess the car. If you are the registered owner, then you should be able to get a replacement key for it from where you bought the car -- or you can have it towed from where ever it is parked.

Ethiopia planted 700,000,000 trees in 2007. In how many square miles can you pack 700 million trees at a fair, ideal forest density? There's much debate about the ideal forest density... but it's somewhere around 500 seedlings per acre... 700 million seedlings planted at 500/spa would cover 700,000,000seedlings / 500spa / 640acres per sq mile == approximately 2200 square miles. Ethiopia's land mass is 425,000 square miles.

Do I report as income, and/or pay taxes on a Certificate of Deposit that was paid to me upon death from a deceased family member?

The estate of the deceased family member would report the income from the CD, and that would be taxable income.

However, that same cold sore could transmit genital herpes to a sexual partner.

Depends how sick it is -- but if it's really sick, and you have gut wrenching pain, and your heart rate is higher than normal -- then you'd end up with sepsis within days and die within a few more days. Antibiotics should be able to treat a sick appendix, as would Chinese herbal remedies, without requiring surgery. However, it does depend how sick it is, doctors might want to...

Did Guliani drop out to become Vice President alongside McCain? In my opinion, no. He dropped out, because he doesn't have the support he needs to keep raising money and to continue his campaign. My bet would be that McCain picks somebody younger and less hawk like as VP -- we don't need another Cheney.

I live in california, and my employer posted a list of every employee's personal phone number with all of our complete first and last names. Is this legal?

Why is it that they don't mind all the satanist crap out there? I'm not aware of any satanist crap in the pledge of allegiance. I don't think it's the christian religion people have a problem with -- the problem is that if separation of church and state is expected, than god doesn't belong in the pledge of allegiance. You shouldn't have to espouse faith in god to make a pledge of allegiance to your country.

Once stomach bugs and viruses are gone, are they gone for good? Maybe -- you'd have to get tested to show they were gone, and even then tests aren't 100% true.

Blood tests only test a very small amount of blood.

My dad sexually abused me and i havent told my bf yet, should i tell him now or wait You shouldn't keep this a secret indefinitely, as holding secrets can affect trust -- he might find out by accident, then you'll have a lot more explaining to do -- "what else haven't you told me!?!?" I would only tell bf your secret, if you're sure he will keep the secret to himself.

Answer to:
What is the difference between a hyphen and a minus sign? Are you talking about typesetting? There's "en-dash" which is used as a hyphen or a minus -- the same character is used in both places -- an "em-dash is a double width "en-dash" and is used between words to separate text in a sentence.

Is 3/4% enough to avoid a global reccession? Maybe, maybe not -- but if it's any indication, Canadian stocks recovered almost everything they lost yesterday... still the fed has another chance at the end of the month to sit it right, should 3/4% not be enough.

Answer to:
My cat seems to having headaches every once in awhile is there anything i can do to help ease his pain You should talk to your vet about this -- cats are so small you'd have to give a very low dose, and I'm not sure what pain killers work for cats -- BUT! How do you know your cat has a headache???? Also -- Most headaches go away if you make your mind still and relax for awhile, I think cats are pretty good at this.

Answer to:
How can i stop my pit bull from eating chickens and turkeys? If it's any consolation, my border collie killed a chicken once. No matter how well trained a dog is, sometimes they get so excited that nothing will stop them. That's not entirely true -- any dog that lives in fear of not pleasing their alpha, would stop. You would have to be hyper vigilante for a long time to get your dog to develop that kind of respect for your command... I...

I have a 5 year old Labradoodle who has developed a bad habit of snapping at other dogs and tonight when I took her for a walk she went for a puppy. What I do to change that behaviour? A friend of mine had a similar problem with her female poodle, that became more aggressive around this age... my theory is that the dog is more protective than it needs to be... and, she has allowed the dog to assert alpha status as other dogs approach. You simply need to be able to redirect your dog when she becomes protective... praise for protecting, but at the same time, release from the...

Answer to:
Do cheaters deserve a second chance? what if it was a accident and they were drunk? IF they were sorry and wanted to earn back the trust? Being drunk is not an accident or an excuse -- that individual has a drinking problem, so long as that's there, anything could happen... the only way I'd trust this person is if they stopped drinking.

Answer to:
Why can't i say 'i hate black men' here? Say whatever you want -- the kinder your words -- the better AB will be. Personally, I don't like it when someone "pukes" their hatred on AB -- I don't see how anything good can come of it -- so I'd probably downrate it because it's not useful... Though -- I have been known to mirror back the hatred when I find the hypocrisy particularly appalling.

Does anyone know if I can legally sue a guy who had an affair with my wife. I have 2 little girls and do I have the right to legally go after this person? The pain and angst that I have suffered is so great Did your wife have a choice in the affair? In that case I would focus on her. You two have to work out how you will proceed -- and the more you think of this third person the farther away from your family you will be -- let it be your wife that thinks about him. I think you should clear your mind when the third person comes up, and stay focused on what's right for you and your...

Answer to:
My son recently accidently plugged a 48v cisco systems server adapter into my laptop. Now the laptop will not boot. The power light comes on and the HDD light comes on (but solid), but the HDD does not spin nor do any fans run. Is the laptop fried? Take it into a repair shop -- the system might be dead, the HDD could could be dead, or maybe just a cable or connector is damaged. I am sort of surprised that a 48V system would have a connector that could accidentally be plugged into a laptop. Hope this story has a happy ending... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

If Buddhism is a non-theist religion, does that mean Buddhists are also atheists? I wouldn't call Buddhists athiests -- they believe in "Devas" -- which are not god's but "beings" that have attained spiritual levels above gods -- the Christian idea of god is a 4th level deva. Buddhists also believe in the Hindu style creator of the universe "Great Brahmā" -- they also believe the universe is an infinite cycle, each cycle ends with a...

I have a friend that never douches how would I tell her in a nice way that she needs to use one. Any suggestions, I feel she needs to keep her thing clean. Tough one -- really it's just bad body odor -- you have to tell her you're not sure what it is, but when you are around her, there's a smell, and you think it's her... and that you figured she'd probably want to know.

Well my last question that was answered someone told me that I might have to take a shower, well i did. And my dog sniffs around down by my penis, and then would turn around basically and start humping me, like she wants some. anything i should do? I saw your other question -- I think your dog is engaging in foreplay... if you want the behavior to stop, then you need to show dominance at times like this... flashing your teeth, a stern growl, should be enough -- but if it isn't -- you'll have to act like a mother dog for a moment, pick her up by the scruff of the neck and remove her from your space, and ignore her for a minute......

Answer to:
How to get my dog to hunt? The most effective way to train a dog is through positive reinforcement of desired behaviors. Having said that, some breeds are better suited to hunting, because they have been bred for that i.e. their nose is smarter, their bite is softer -- and, they won't eat the kill. I assume this is what you're talking about, or do you mean, how do you get a dog to hunt rats and kill them?...

Mike Huckabee: Homosexuality goes hand in hand with(and leads to) pedophilia and bestiality. Piss anyone else off? No -- even if it were true -- pull anything out of context and it can sound idiotic. Huckabee has a lot of support, that's my greater concern -- he is simply one of many pulses in America. Don't get pissed off -- do something... work for the campaign that represents you -- you could help change the pulse of America.

I'm preparing to go shopping in China. Should I be buying knock-offs and saving lots of money or should I just look for bargains on brand names? I'm not sure you can trust brand names in China. Why don't you buy Chinese things in China? Seems like a long way to travel, just to find bargain prices for things you can find at home here. In China you will find authentic Chinese antiques, which you can bring home and resell for quite a profit.

Answer to:
Why are different types of memory used in computers. as opposed to just one? What would be the drawbacks, for example, of using only cache memory, or only hard disk? Different types of memory make computers faster. For example, disk drives are *very* slow -- so manufacturers put a "cache" in the drive, using statistical methods, software predicts what parts of the disk will be accessed next, and pre-loads them into cache, so that the next time you make a request from the disk, there's a chance the data has *already* been retrieved. The...

Definitely, don't try to be like her -- that's her show -- you do your show. And as you know -- nerds don't need to know how to dance -- if they just flop around on the dance floor looking stupid -- they are succeeding -- because they *don't*care* what anybody...

All these relationships ended over issues that grew out of the cultural diversity; expectations were simply different. Things are going well with...

How can I convince my wife I"ve been 100percent faithfull since the day we met. She insists I've had affairs although the only time I ever leave the house is to go to work? This has been an 8 year thorn in our marrige and even counseling When I was married, my wife was like this too -- she imagined I was screwing every girl at the office -- and especially on business trips. She was one jealous insecure woman, and for this, and several other reasons, we finally stopped trying and got divorced. I went through this for 14 years... since then, no one has ever suspected me of cheating. You know what's really screwy about...

No, though if he asks you better have a diplomatic answer ready... for e.g. "I'm not ready to talk about that yet" -- good answer -- "None of your business" -- correct, but bad answer.

You have to get involved with social activities, either co-ed team sports, political clubs, student organizations, the college radio station, hiking club, skiing club, theatre club -- something -- if you are interested in something -- people will find you more interesting. This is important: go where the girls go. Chess clubs and computer labs don't usually cut it. All that failing --...

Is it okay to take paracetamols during pregnancy? If so then how much can i take in a day? Paracetamol is addictive, as a one off, it's probably harmless, still, you should consider that the dose you are used to taking is *way*too*much* for an infant that's less than 10 pounds. What would happen if you took 10 times more than you are supposed to??? I don't know the side effects... I'd say, go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist -- he can probably...

My boyfriend is really overbearing..especially at college! He always tries to pull my chair over to his so its really close even tho im sat nxt to him! It's really annoying! What shall I do...I love him..but he is just sooo overbearing! You have to talk about it -- probably in neutral territory -- like when you are driving in a car together, or when you are in a private space such as alone together in your home. I think this bothers you because he is controlling you in public... he is not giving you a choice in how close you sit to him, he is demanding you to sit as close to him, as he wants you to sit. Perhaps that's...

Do you support a law in the U.S.A. that make it mandatory for every governor or president to balance the budget?why do you agree or disagree? I'd support it -- a balanced budget basically means we pay our bills now -- if the states go into debt, they have to pay interest -- guess who collects the interest? The vast minority who are not in debt (i.e. the rich).

Why is there a black history month and not an asian history month or Indian history month? Part of the reason for Moving past Racism is to stop bringing back all the stuff that used to be.

It's awkward and I can't be myself around her because of the tension. what should I do? I don't think your father should expect you to accept his new wife. He picked her, you (presumably) had no say in the matter. You don't have to like her, but actually, since you are part of the package with your father, the step mother should take all efforts to manage the tension. I think you should compromise, but, you should get something you want, and father should get...

Answer to:
How often do you think a man of about 34 years of age hides his feelings for someone he cares for if he hides them at all? Would a man this age intentionally mistreat a woman that he cares about in order to keep his feelings hidden? Everyone is unique -- men learn to hide their feelings at a very young age -- only sissy's cry. Some men become truthful abuot their feelings at an early age, some never do -- it partly depends on how they were brought up. So to answer your question, any man can hide their feelings all the time. All men can act out by mistreating somebody they love... but that's true for women too.

If they couldn't get over their old love, I'd leave the relationship. That person obviously isn't living "in the present", the past is history, and mostly it's boring. I'm sure you can find somebody that will keep their mind on you.

What do you do if your engaged and you ended up falling in love with some one? do you tell the other person how you fill or just keep it to your self? Have you really fallen in love, or are you seeking an escape route? Or are you having doubt that you're not quite ready for marriage? In my experience, "affairs of curiousity" come and go -- it's not love -- it's temporary infatuation, and it's a distraction, an escape route. At times like that, I have to remind myself what I love my partner, and I recall reasons...

They edit as much info as they want into 1 hour, and you can't ask any questions. Reality Television? I can't think of any purpose that serves.

(we're gay by the way) and it seems this past year has been just imposible.. we fight, and argue but I thought that was normal... HELP! Fighting and arguing is normal -- but it is also normal to get over it -- sounds to me like your relationship is over -- it is possible to have a joyful relationship, if you and your partner aren't willing to do the work of joy -- it is time to move on.

My boyfriend confessed to me that while he was married he was still sleeping with ex-girlfriends. Should I trust that he won't do that to me. I am much younger than he is and he says we are soul mates. I would say watch your back -- when this guy "acts out" he starts screwing around. If you are "soul mates" -- maybe he won't act out -- but once the arguments start, and resentment takes hold in either of you -- there's no telling how he will rationalize what he does behind your back.

Is there a difference in taste between natural peanut butter and regular shelf brands (i.e. skippy) I doubt it -- but there's no chemicals in natural peanut butter -- so it will settle and harden a bit, and the will oil float to the top if you let it stand for some time. Also, some "regular shelf brands" of peanut butter add refined sugar.
