The US sends about $3billion a year to Israel. What does the US receive in return? Please explain your answer.
In theory, we're buddy-buddy with Israel because we backed the movement to return Israel to the Jewish people after World War 2.
That was supposed to be out of remorse for the horrors of the holocaust.
Of course, in doing so, we basically kicked a bunch of other people off of that land. So, they're all pissed at us. And at the Jewish people.
And then you throw in the fact that Israel is...

I consider myself a bit of a loner.

Generally, I enjoy other people's company. Particularly when I'm in the mood for it.

newegg is legit.
They usually have pretty good deals, and from what I understand they do a good job of taking care of their customers.
It's a big, popular site, and it's been around since at least 2000. You don't get that big and stay around that long unless you've got something going on.

The most obvious answer:
Talk to him about it. He could well be feeling the same.
As an ex-Navy guy, I can tell you 2 things:
1)This situation is not uncommon for military guys.
2)Long distance relationships with military guys rarely work.

Popularity is a funny thing: You think that the popular kids have something special going on, when you're in high school, and then later, you realize that they're just as neurotic as everyone else.
For the most part, "being popular" means letting your social group decide what you can and can't do. Sounds like hell to me.

Why do guys always go for the girls who are sluty and not the girls who are classy and dont have there body showing
On the most obvious level, because a girl who's showing off a bit turns us on.
Also, a girl who's showing off a little bit seems available.
Also, there are other factors to consider too. Most of the girls who are "slutty", are used to dealing with guys, and don't make us feel wierd when we talk to them. More conservative girls often tend to put up this...

What are the secrets in becoming the guy that women fall for in an instant?
Silly question.
Women spend most of their life doing things to try to get our attention. We drive them crazy in two ways:
-Not making a move.

So, a "normal" guy, who is not at all smooth, but has the balls to talk to women, without making too much of an ass of himself is pretty much golden.
There's no magic bullet or secret formula. Turns out...

So, when my girlfriend loses her cool, I tend to dismiss it as craziness, and assume she's off base.
Also, I tend to act pretty ambivalent about it, and tend to make her feel a little silly for doing it. She's actually a little paranoid about acting over emotional about...

She's probably got a reputation for talking shit.
Don't tell her anything you don't want repeated, and don't let her talk shit when you're around. Call her on her bullshit. Some girls really get off on starting drama. If she's one of those, you really should avoid her.

I think in a totally honest relationship, you should be able to call him out on it in a way that will imply that you're not threatened by it. I can tell you, for what it's worth, that it doesn't mean he's dissatisfied, just that he's (gosh) attracted to women...

Answer to:
I feel as though one of my friends has betrayed me, she comes round in the morning to my house and gets a lift to college, but then she ditches be at college. At the end of the day she comes all sweet and gets a lift home - what should I do?
Take a little social initiative, and hang out with her a bit. If she seems to be INTENTIONALLY avoiding you, the friendship is over, and she's just using you.
The chances are, though, that she's just gotten busy.
Part of the process of going to college is finding new friends. Sounds like your friend has done that, and you have not. This is another place where you may need to put...

Everytime I see my ex-gf with her new bf, I physically want to collapse it hurts so bad. The pain is so intense and it's driving me crazy. Is this the worst inner pain you can experience in life? :(
Anything anyone can tell you right now, will probably seem callous and distant.
I can tell you that the pain you feel is the pain of clinging to something that's gone.
Until you can let go, you will hurt.
Unfortunately, the process is that of grief, and there's a road you have to walk before you can let go.
It is a cold and lonely road, but when you reach the end, you will...

Why is love so difficult to understand?
What is love?
Love is reveling in the presence of another.
If no two people are the same, then it follows that no two relationships are the same. It would then follow that love may be cast in a myriad of forms, and is not a static concept.
It is completely unique, and changing, moment by moment. The more you try to analyze it, the more any definition slips away.

The guy thinks you're attractive, but unavailable.
You missed the boat, because you weren't friendly. Did you smile? Did you say hi?
Chances are, he found a girl who was a little easier. If there's a lot of tension between the two of you, but you're both too shy to break that tension, it's not going anywhere. Such is life.

Is it just your boyfriend, or is it guys in general?

Hell, maybe you're a lesbian, and you're just deluding yourself.

Which should you trust more — your head or heart?
If you always lead with your head, you miss out on a lot of what makes life worthwhile.
If you always lead with your heart, you tend to be very wishy washy, undependable, and have a hard time keeping your mind made up.
So you have to strike a balance between the two extremes.

You can actually damage your engine by putting the plug wires on in a wierd order.
This is particularly true with certain overhead cam import cars, where the valves, when open, occupy the same space in the head as the piston does at top dead center.

If you give your consent for them to enter, their powers are pretty broad.

Another possibility is that he's fidgeting with his phone, something...

How is it we very infrequently get a piece which is in C Sharp Major? I'd like to know because it would mean Low C would become known as Low B Sharp.

The way I understand things, you are exactly right.
In C sharp major, the 7th (one half step below the octave) would fall on C.
But, because you can't have two 'Cs' in one scale, they conveniently rename the note to Bsharp --But, the pitch is the same.

Has anyone ever had to deal with a break up where the man said he still loves you,and that his feelings for you didn't change. But he doesn't see that you will work together?It's not the same as when your s/o says to you, they have fallen out of love!
When he says he still loves you, it's probably true enough, in a sense. He still cares about you enough that he doesn't want you to be hurt, but at the same time, you are not fulfilling some need that he has.
I can't tell you what that is, and only you can take a good look at your relationship and figure it out.

All depends on the girl.
If she's giving you lovey dovey eyes, and you don't try to kiss her, she's probably gonna get her feelings hurt.
There's a little art to the kiss. Just make it a sweet kiss, and not a deep, passionate, I want to rip your clothes off right now kiss, and see how she responds.

If you don't have any feelings for her, you're just stringing her along. When you eventually break up, (and you will) it will only hurt her more.
