I&#039;d cite (and make up, if necessary) &quot;religious&quot; reasons, saying that I&#039;d need to buy it at a lower price to offset the cost of a full-blown exorcism performed by a high cardinal from Vatican City and his retinue of Swiss Guards.

Then use that knowledge to change yourself for the better. For example, if you think on these events and realize you&#039;ve been intellectually dishonest with yourself or others, strive to be less so in the future.

I said I needed space , and at the end of the call, she said "oh well, il just carrying on feeling insecure then". How does one respond to that? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6611191 Girlfriend phoned wanting to meet saying she was feeling insecure. I said I needed space , and at the end of the call, she said "oh well, il just carrying on feeling insecure then". How does one respond to that?<br /><br />Sounds like she wants you to be affectionate to her, try ringing her again and asking if she wants to do something with you; or maybe send her some cute ecard or flowers or something if you don&#039;t want to be with her but want to make a gesture that says you care about her.

I&#039;d suggest you keep the relationship platonic (non-sexual) and wait at least until you&#039;re a legal adult (in most cases age 18).

You should use a splitter. If you don&#039;t have one handy you can either ask your DSL provider for one, or get an aftermarket one for around $10-20 or less.

If someone answers simply with &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;no&quot;, you can&#039;t tell nearly as much about the person than if they answer with several paragraphs or at least a complete sentence.

I&#039;ve &quot;felt&quot; that the phone would ring a split-second before it actually has, or known when a particular person was coming by to talk to me, but I&#039;m sure a lot of this could be attributed to body language, nonverbal communication, etc. Mon, 18 May 2009 07:54:12 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6529317 Answer to What cleans disks best http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6528875 What cleans disks best<br /><br />A soft cloth works well.

I bet the owner of the Nissan will still think of the car as their &quot;baby&quot; and won&#039;t floor it sufficiently to win. The owner of the Saab could probably care less and will just be hoping the engine doesn&#039;t blow.

I knew someone whose breast cancer metastasized to their lungs and bones. At one point she developed a couple of eruptions of extremely painful tissue which came up out of the bone on her shoulder blade, painful even on exposure to just air.

I'd like to know. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6471788 The concept of "child evangelism" is deeply disturbing to me. What's your opinion? I'd like to know.<br /><br />I think it&#039;s messed up. A child&#039;s brain physically isn&#039;t developed until they at least reach what, age 14 or so? They should be allowed to mature fully and then make their own determination about their belief system. Child evangelism smacks of cult indoctrination to me.

Just as we get accustomed to familiar smells at home, I think we get used to ourselves over time and lose sight of who we are. Unless we examine ourselves from both the outside in as well as the inside out, I think as Socrates said the unanalyzed life is not worth living.

A respectful statement of disbelief could turn into a full-blown argument, which depending upon school officials could lead to detention or worse. Getting oneself in trouble with the school would be going too far I think for purposes of stating... Tue, 12 May 2009 06:39:32 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6471715
