Does this give the website some benefit that I'm not aware of? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/351410 Why is it that sometimes a website will disable the "Back" button? Does this give the website some benefit that I'm not aware of?<br /><br />Most likely, the website has not disabled the back button, but rather has opened a new window or a new tab. When a new window/tab is opened, you cannot use the back button because there is nothing to surf back to.

(not meant to be a bigoted question....only to get ideas as racism and "homophobia" run rampant in this country)<br /><br />I couldn&#039;t care less about a candidates sex, race, or sexual preference. It simply doesn&#039;t matter to me. If she represented my own political ideologies, then yes, I would vote for her.

Asking too much of them? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/293931 Do you think that the administration is stretching the US troops to far? Asking too much of them?<br /><br />Yes, I do. Apparently the administration thinks they are stretched too far too, as Bush is about to announce the deployment of approximately 21,000 more troops to Iraq in his upcoming State of the Union speech. Sat, 20 Jan 2007 00:08:50 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/293931 Answer to When a gay couple decides to marry or have a commitment ceremony, who pops the question? Is it just whomever gets to it first? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/293911 When a gay couple decides to marry or have a commitment ceremony, who pops the question? Is it just whomever gets to it first?<br /><br />I suppose it&#039;s the same as when a hetero couple decides to get hitched. This isn&#039;t 1950. Men and women don&#039;t have such clearly defined roles anymore, so the task of proposing marriage really falls at either partner&#039;s feet.

I would follow up with an email soon after the interview if at all possible, and maybe call after two or three days, to make sure your potential employer knows you are interested, and to keep your name in his/her mind.

They do contain scents, however, which women (or men for that matter) may find appealing (just not any of the women I know.) If you want to wear a scent, pick a good quality cologne, not some garbage you pick up at the grocery store.

Like when your b/f g/f gets a phone call and goes into another room to talk.<br /><br />No, actually, I usually appreciate when someone (including my girlfriend) goes into another room to talk on the phone. I personally find it a bit annoying and rude, for the most part, to be forced to sit and listen to one side of a conversation. The only reason I would be suspicious is if she...
