What's the difference between a dash and parenthesis? @BACzero - is a hyphen, not a dash " " are quotation marks, not parentheses

Answer to:
What's the difference between a dash and parenthesis? They both work to set-off parenthetical statements. A parenthetical statement is a kind of dependent clause; specifically, it's a digression within a sentence that is set-off from the sentence with punctuation marks. There are three different kinds of punctuation marks that can be used with parenthetical statements: dashes, parentheses, and commas. E.g. My brother -- Joseph -- is a really...

I havent been circumcised and when i was washing my penis the other day just lower than the head of my penis inside was lots of white stuff, (not smegma) i dont know if this is natural or not and there is loads of it, also it hurts when i masturbate You should see a doctor. Pain and white stuff are not good signs and if you let the problem continue there could be serious results. You may have a yeast infection (penile thrush). It's not serious, but if you don't treat it there can be serious complications. It's easily curable with over-the-counter products, but you should look into why you have it. Yeast occurs naturally on our bodies...

Do you think we should at least give the new AB design a chance, since it is so new? I'll give it a chance, see if I adjust, but at this point I am not happy. It seems like a lot of features I enjoyed are missing (all of them mentioned in other answers). I don't think it was wise to switch it up so suddenly like this -- they should have done a gradual change so that we could get used to it. Instead it's just like, WTF?

Does she orgasm when she masturbates? What about with previous boyfriends? Basically, is it only with YOU that she can't orgasm, or is this a normal thing for her? Only she can answer that question. You say you've tried everything, but what is everything? Does she communicate with you during sex? Does she tell you what feels good, what doesn't feel good; does she ask...

A sentence will only tell you how to use the word: eloquent is an adjective so it can go in any sentence that calls for an adjective -- "His speech was eloquent," "His speech was boring," "His speech was short" -- it doesn't tell you about what "eloquent" means.

How can I get a girl friend? I'm in 7th grade, and I would like to get a girl in the same grade. These things just have to happen naturally.

There are things you can do to improve your interactions with girls, and things you can do to meet more people, but these don't guarantee a girlfriend. As for...

With the exception of sparkling wines like champagne, which are always so festive, is there such a thing as a "romantic" wine? I mean, isn't wine wine? You have a favorite perhaps because it is so smooth. But it is still just wine. What do you think? Well, what makes sparkling wines festive? There's nothing inherently festive about sparkling wines: it's how we use them, the tradition of it, that makes them festive. Tradition can also make a wine romantic: maybe the wine a couple had on their first date, they have it ever anniversary and it is romantic for them. If there was a widespread tradition of a certain wine being romantic,...

It's hard to say with the limited information, but I think you could be coming off as desperate. Don't go to clubs/bars alone: go with friends. Women need to see you playing nice, acting friendly, and well-liked by your peers. If you do go alone, consider bringing a book or magazine. You don't have to hide yourself in a corner or always have your nose in it: just bring it...

Your goal shouldn't be to force him to stop calling this woman: it should be to understand why he is calling this woman, what that...

According to Wikipedia, Mozart had 6 children, 4 of whom died within a year of birth, 2 whom survived to adulthood: Franz Xavier Wolfgang Mozart, who died at age 53; and Karl Thomas Mozart, who died at age 74. Why did you choose to ask this question on AB rather than googling it? That might sound snotty but I'm not being backhanded: I'm simply curious.

There's nothing offensive about that statement.

Why do schools teach evolution, but say we do not teach any one belief or religion. i myself am christian, and i do not uderstand why they teach evolution. all the stuff that humans came from apes, i dont belive it and i dont want them to teach it. Schools teach evolution while claiming not to teach any one belief or religion because science is not a belief or religion: it's a methodology for examining the world, and evolution is a theory about the world which has arisen from this examination. That's not to say belief doesn't come into it, because belief in the findings of science is predicated on the belief in...

What would you do if you were walking along the street and someone pointed a gun at you? Based solely on the responses I've had to past experiences (and not on what I think would be the right or good thing to do), I bet I would raise my hands, step back, and say something like "Please sir/mam, don't hurt me." Anytime I've felt threatened in the past, I've always fallen back on the same attitude of extreme politeness and passivity. My mother, on...

If Jesus was God in the flesh, who resurrected God when he died? Simple math. Trinitarian Christians (which is most Christians) believe God is 3-in-1: 3 parts in 1 whole. As Jesus is only 1 of the 3 parts of the whole, his death would still leave 2 parts available to resurrect him, right?

If it is true that one "cannot prove a negative," then how can the IRS "prove" in a courtroom, that someone NEVER filed a return, or NEVER reported an income source, or NEVER sent them a payment? ALL of those things are indeed "negatives," aren't they? You're right, those things are negatives. I couldn't find the source of 'you can't prove a negative' (a particular philosopher?), but I did find lots of explanations of why/how it isn't true and context for it. This came from Skepticwiki: "The claim 'you can't prove a negative' is often used as a shorthand in discussions to refer to the...

Do you prefer using gift bags or the traditional gift wrapping? I like to use both, depending on the gift.

I also like re-using gift wrap and bags -- the bags stand more re-usings so I like them for that. Also I sometimes make cloth gift bags with fabric scraps and stuff ......

But some people will never build up that kind of resistance because their system simply...

Different cultures do have different calendars. Christianity, however, is the dominant religion in the West, and western culture is the dominant world culture, hence the universal calendar being based on the Christian calendar.

In the morning, your partner wants sexual relations. If you agree, you will be late for work. What do you do? Depends on many things. Am I often late for work? Does my boss take particular issue with lateness? Am I in the mood? Etc.

Answer to:
Every time i have sex my vag feels swollen and it hurts. Is that normal? Well, if it happens to you every time, I'd say yes, it's normal for you. It's not normal for me, but then you and I are different people so there's no real reason to assume we'd experience sex in the same way. Is this sex with the same guy every time? It could simply be he has a big penis and you have a small vagina. Or it could be he has a rough lovemaking style....

I can't remember the last time I drank one.

What makes a person sleep with their mind remain alert? Or is it something else? Well, I'd say there is such a thing as a super-light sleeper -- you yourself prove it! I don't know about the reasons why, but I have observed during my life that some people do sleep more deeply than others. Perhaps it's tied to a general awareness (or lack thereof) of the world around them. You can observe this kind of thing in waking life too, on a busy sidewalk for...

Answer to:
Is gender identity, like life itself, a gift from God? If so, didn't God give you a life complete with the gender best-suited for His purpose for you? I don't think so. I think there is a distinction between gender and sex. Gender means our ideas of how women and men should act, look, think, and feel. Many people believe gender follows naturally from sex, but different cultures have different ideas on gender so how could that be? One culture may say women should enjoy domestic labour and should be subject to the men in their lives....

If you think it was a positive thing, try to spark up a conversation with him soon, because he may be interested in you (assuming you are interested in him, too).

How can i prove to my ex I still love her and win back even though she is dating someone else? Proving to your ex that you still love her isn't going to do anything but make her pity you.

I doubt you can win her back by any grand gesture.

Do you think those spankings/beatings/punishments really made you a better adult? I did get some: some spanking, slapping, shoving, etc. I don't think it did me any good ... they were instances of my parents losing control and becoming violent, things which neither were advocates of generally, so it only made me disrespect them and also not learn anger-control skills of my own.

I mean, at the extreme end of the spectrum, if a parent has been, say, keeping her child locked in a room strapped to a potty with minimal contact for 13 years -- search Genie (feral child) on Wikipedia -- she loses all of her parental rights. So, no, I don't...

Answer to:
How can I go out with a boy who my friends dislike? You try to keep things separate. I was once in a situation sort of life this. I'm not saying you should keep it secret. You might have to abide a little lightheartedly teasing from your friends -- but if they get out of line, just ask them to back off, you like him, it's none of their business. Just generally don't talk about him with your friends, or your friends with him.

Answer to:
Does daily sex cure a low libido? I have read time and time again that, especially for women, the more you have it, the more you want it. But daily sex isn't a cure-all. How to cure a low libido depends on what the cause is. If, for instance, it's the side-effect of a medication, daily sex likely won't help a bit.

Have you ever broke up, or divorced a significant other because their family was the problem?

BUT if they were to ever start treating me like that again, I think I would have to consider a divorce, to be fair not just to me but also...

Squirrel ate dute tape. Will that cause him any harm? It could. Was it a very large amount? With any luck, it will simply pass through his system.

Is it ok for the woman to work while the man takes care of their children? Absolutely! There may be trends about gender-specific jobs (like, say more women than men would rather take care of the kids), but trends don't mean every individual will fit that trend. If it works better in one family for the woman to work outside the home and the man to stay with the kids, then that is how they should do it!

Why do men over 60 have trouble ejaculating? Because there's no evolutionary need for them to.

How do you take an idea for a greeting card, (ie cards funny cards for single women) and make it an actual commerical greeting card that can be sold? Do you take the image to a printer? How do you protect your intellectual property? You'd take your idea to a publisher of greeting cards, and they would take care of your rights. Or, if you wanted to sell them yourself (i.e. small scale), you'd bring them to a printer and likely not worry about your rights. Or you could talk to a lawyer.

With that said, she recently informed her lawyer that she wanted to relocate to FL. We currently live in NY. Can she do this? Considering the situation you're in, you must also have a lawyer? If not, you really ought to get one: you need a professional looking after your interests. Then, ask your lawyer this question -- do you really want to trust this issue to strangers on AB?

If I stopped using words just because other people misuse them, I'd have an extremely limited vocabulary.

If it doesn't bother her, if she thinks it's all fun light-hearted teasing or something, then I don't see anything bad about it. But if she feels insulted, hurt, and demeaned, then yes, obviously it is bad.

Why do ex boy or girlfriends often stalk their previous interests? Why don't they just move on with their love life? Do they often do this? Maybe in your life, but not mine (or any of my friends, and we've all been actively dating for more than a decade now). If this keeps happening to you, I think it's time to consider why: do you go for the same kind of girl all the time (i.e. crazy), or do you instill craziness during the dating? Consider it.

Has the 2nd series of Twin Peaks ever been released on DVD? I have never seen it anywhere online or in a store... Yes, it has, both separately from season 1 and as a box set. The box set is best because you get both versions of the pilot, both seasons (with log lady intros) and neat-o postcards.

David Lynch is a brilliant man. Why can't I get anyone to watch his movies? (Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Twin Peaks, ect...) Well, surrealism and sexualized violence aren't for everyone. Everyone seems to think Blue Velvet is so amazing, but in my opinion it's like a first draft of Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks is absolutely amazing, and I also really liked Mulholland Drive. Eraserhead, Lost Highway, they're okay. You'll have to find someone with a slightly dark taste in movies to watch them with!

Should I feel bad for slapping my ex-boyfriend (when we were together) in the face when he would constantly say mean things about my family and verbally abuse me and in arguments calling me really bad names? Well, I can't say if you should feel bad or not, but I don't think it was the right thing to do. If someone is treating you poorly, the answer isn't to treat them poorly back: it's to walk away from them, disassociate.

Why do women always say "lets just be friends''? after u were dating for a while? I don't agree with your basic premise. As a woman, I've never said this; as a person who dates women, I've never had this said to me; as a friend of women, I know of few who've told me they said this. If women always say this to you, I think the question is why do they say this to YOU. It sounds like a classic easy let-down line to me.

How to avoid rude, arrogant co-worker? Alone he is nice but among others very rude. Today he did it again, I asked him"Do you have to be this rude all the time or its just your personality?" in reply he changed the topic and said "Nice shirt". What to do? I think you'll have to confront him again, but this time instead of pointing the finger at him (you are rude), point it at yourself (I am offended when you act like this). If that doesn't work, go to a higher up. Don't gossip amongst the other staff, or change your behaviour toward him: just be simple and honest and hopefully things will be fixed!

ABers with jobs: Does it bother you if you see a co-worker obviously goofing off while your working your a$$ off? Would you report it to your supervisor, or do you just figure, "If they get caught, they are the one who will have to answer for it."? Yeah, I think it's their own problem to deal with. The exception is if their behaviour makes my job harder. Usually, because I really hate confrontation, I just accept it and move on -- but if it REALLY makes my job impossible, I speak to them once. If they brush me off or don't change, I go the supervisor.

I need an alternative that says, "Thanks for asking, but since you are just being polite and don't want to know enough to have a real conversation, I will just say XXXX". I think you need to accept the simple fact of small talk. Actually, I think it would be very rude of you to do what you propose in your question.

If you don't trust him, there's no way to know for sure if he's cheating on you, unless you want to hire a private investigator or do the dirty work yourself ... which, in my opinion, says just as much about your character as cheating would about your boyfriend. Whether he's cheating or not, if you feel that crazy and distrustful of him, then the thing to do is break-up!

Answer to:
Do you truely hate someone? It is a harsh word. Right now I don't hate anyone, although I have hated a boss I used to have in the past. I don't even hate him now, but I don't at all respect or like him, and I think if I had to be in daily contact with him again, I would start to hate him. But as it is, he's hardly worth the energy!

It is just me, or do some people seem to dwell in their own reality, a magical place where they get to argue with themselves over petty things? Well, I guess some people do that. It sounds like a high-functioning autism or something. I don't know anyone like this, although I do have an active imagination ... could be considered my own reality. But I don't argue with myself ... why do that?

Answer to:
Do girls like bad boys or is it just the confidence that they possess? Neither, at least in my case. I don't like squeaky clean, I'm not squeaky clean myself, but I don't like self-centered, insecure assholes who can't treat others with respect and kindness. So it might depend on the definition of "bad boy."

Answer to:
If your husband tells you ha has to work on business on Sunday, the whole day....do you believe him? I would, yeah, because there'd be nothing much unusual about that (except I have a wife, not a husband). But if it was very unusual and she was acting oddly about it, and if I had other reasons to suspect her, then no I probably wouldn't believe her.

They say that marriage takes "a lot of hard work." If it takes that much work, do those two people even belong together? Yes, sure. No matter who we love or whom we're loved by, we all have our petty tendencies ... whether we're jealous at times, spiteful, selfish, critical, overly sensitive, etc. For a marriage to be long-term and fulfilling, there has to be love and trust, but if we aren't able to curb our own petty moments (hard work), and we aren't able to avoid or overlook our...

When did you know that you were ready for marriage (if you're married)? How can you tell if you're ready or not? I didn't know I was ready for marriage until I fell in love with a girl I knew I wanted to marry. I was 18, and I was very lucky, because 10 years later, we are very happily married. I think, if I wanted to be logical about it, I would say you can tell that you're ready to marry a person after you've lived with them and shared your life with them for a year or two and still...

Can a couple stay together happily for life without romantic love? With just a commitment to stay together no matter what. I think they can, although it's not common (at least in western culture), but I think they would need a good reason to make that commitment, and they would need to believe in that reason and have a kind of passion for it just as strongly as two people in love love one another. The example I'm thinking of is actually in a novel, but there's two characters who don't love...

If your boyfriend is out of town, how many times a day should he call you if he is really in love with you There is no set rule. It's not like there's one right way to do a relationship. Relationships are between two individual people, so they must be suited to those people. Personally, I don't enjoy talking on the phone, at best I feel uncomfortable but more often I feel annoyed, so why would I want my boyfriend (if I had one) to call me multiple times a day?

Did you lose your virginity to another virgin? If so, was that what you wanted or would you have preferred someone experienced? If you haven't lost it, which way would you prefer? I lost my virginity at 14 to a 20-year old, he was not a virgin. I think it was great: he knew what he was doing, he was calm and patient and gentle, he went slow and made sure I was comfortable. I've never regretted it, although everyone told me at the time I would. (I am now 27 so I think it's safe to say I won't regret it in the future!)

What he SHOULD do is finish the dinner, finish the date gracefully, smile, laugh, thank her for her company, and then never see her again.

I have one million dollars to give you, but you have 24 hours to spend it and you get ten million to spend on what you wish. The catch is that you can not buy cars, real estate, boats, property or planes. How would you do it? I don't get it ... 1 million, or 10 million? Either way, I would buy some clothing, I would put some money into savings and RRSPs, I'd fly to NYC (only 1hr away) and go to dinner at the fanciest restaurant I could find, and the rest of it -- most of it -- I would give to charity.

If he doesn't leave of his own accord after that, you'll have to step it up: either leave yourself, or, if this is legally your home, call the police and get him out of there!

We are also bound by our human nature, which is social, and as such we have responsibilities to the...

Some people find great satisfaction exploring these thoughts and fantasies in role-playing sexual scenarios. This might not sound good to you, but either way I think you would profit from connecting with other people on this issue. By that I mean, like, seeing...

Me and my girlfriend are fighting hardcore right now. My friend who is a female, is driving 500 miles to see me. We both take our turns driving to see one another every other month. Do I need to tell my girl we are going to hang if we are just friends? Yes, you need to tell her as a matter of course because people in relationships are honest with each other. If your girlfriend can't handle you having a close friendship with another female, perhaps now is the time to break up with her -- lying to her is not the solution, not morally, or even practically because surely she will find out and your secrecy will not put you in a good light.

Why is Alcohol legal? When everything you do impaired so like being is public is illegal? on that same note how can you legalize pot for the same reasoning?

She said we need to live apart so we can get the relationship back to how it was and so we can grow stronger. What do you think? Well, I think there's no way you can "get the relationship back to how it was." Life changes, and when something is gone it doesn't come back, at least not exactly like how it was. Relationships can't stay the same all the time: they grow like people grow. If your girlfriend is being honest about her reasons, I think you need to realize that what she hopes to attain...

Is your rabbit an unaltered female? This could explain the fur in the corner -- they pull the fur from their bodies, mostly from their belly and dewlap, in preparation of having babies (they often do this whether pregnant or not).

We have equally done each other wrong and are in counseling and church. It is possible. You have admitted to wrong, you are committed to improvement, you are still in love -- these are the only things you need. It is possible you will discover in the process that you no longer want to be together ... sometimes people grow apart, sometimes hurts are too much to put behind. But if this doesn't happen, and if you work hard, you will meet with success!

I have been finding blood - quite a lot of it on the hutch floor and spattered around - I cannot find any trace on my bunnie - what is it? Are you sure it is blood, and not urine? It is common for rabbits to have shockingly bright red or orangey-red urine. It is due to the production of certain plant proteins and something called porphyrins. It is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about. Also sometimes I've noticed my rabbit's urine turning this colour if it sits out for awhile. Give your rabbit...

Why do so many atheists hang out in the Christian catagories? I think because they're looking for a fight. But by "fight" I mean a whole spectrum of things. At one end is people truly full of aggression and looking to cause upset. I know those people exist! But they aren't really that common. For most people, what I mean by "fight" is really just conversation or debate. Humans are social people and we work out our...

Answer to:
Is stupidity bad? I don't mean mental retardation, or other illnesses, I mean stupid behaviour in the absence of such illness. I wouldn't say stupidity is bad, in and of itself, but I would say it's no excuse for destructive or hurtful behaviour. So, in a way, stupidity isn't bad, but the consequences of stupidity may be bad. Stupid is also a very indefinite word. What do we mean by it, exactly?

If I had a metal snake thing and pushed it through an open top maze, guiding it along the same path every time- After millions or so # of times could the snake develop a 'brain' to eventually learn its' route without having to be guided? A metal snake thing ... do you mean a robot of some kind? I think whether the snake would learn its route or not would depend entirely on the programming. I'm pretty sure it is possible to make such a snake, though. Whether that means it has developped a brain or not is questionable. Technically-speaking, the answer is no, because a brain is the centre of a nervous system, so to...

My doctor reckons we are all Bisexual to some degree, do you agree with this or not? Not really. But then, I don't agree with most people's idea of sexuality. I think a person's sexuality develops and changes over the course of their lifetime -- it especially develops in the early years, as all aspects of personality do (or so I believe), but it can change even when you're an adult. I don't think the strict divisions between gay, straight, bisexual...

I am having feelings for this guy but he is kinda related... he is my step mom"s step mom's sisters son... is it like way wrong? No I don't think this is wrong. The relation is very distinct. Certainly there's no risk of genetic problems with your child -- you're not even related by blood, are you? I think you should follow your feelings. You might encounter resistance in your family at first, and maybe in strangers now and again, but who cares? Good luck!

Ive always had low self esteem,but adults r always calling me beautiful.I notice grown men always check me out.I was at a restaurant & a waitress told my mother ''wow, she's beautiful.'' Apparently I'm an exotic beauty. How come no guys in school like me? Well, the classic answer to this question is: they're intimated by you. That might explain why older men check you out -- older men are generally more secure in their sexuality, and less intimated by the objects of their desire, than teen boys are. But there may be other reasons why the boys in school don't seem to like you. I think this is a perfect opportunity to give...

If your bf says he wants to kill himself what do you do? If you're a minor, tell a trusted adult. If you're an adult, host an intervention. Choose only his most intimate friends/family members that you know will not judge or condemn him or gossip, and will have only his well-being in mind. These would be the final step, I think. Beforehand, you could try talking to him and urging him to get medical help. If it is obvious to you...

I don't know if this is weird or not.. I'm 13 1/2 and my penis is roughly 7' in length.(Really close to 17") Is this normal? I've seen my friends penis and it's the same size. How big will my penis get by the end of puberty.(I started at around 11 1/2) 7' is 84", not 17" (' means foot, " means inch), but either way, I don't think your measurements can be correct. You should be measuring along the top of your erect penis, from the tip to where it just touches your belly. 5-7" is most common, but penises do exist in smaller and larger varieties ... but 17" is very hard to believe.

I am aware that the penis, when flaccid, is supposed to hang pointing downwards. Mine on the other hand, even when flaccid, points straight out at a right angle with my body. It looks erected or semi erected even though its not.How do i correct this? I think you probably can't correct it without having surgery. And I think surgery would be a waste of money and an unnecessary risk to your health. Instead, put your energy into developing your self-esteem -- stop comparing yourself to the "ideal," and be happy with who you are. And, if necessary, figure out what cuts of clothing best hide it (others have suggested tight...

I know of eunuchs in ancient times -- they were castrated for cultural, social, and/or religious reasons -- but I don't know of eunuchs in modern times. I suppose a man who's undergone castration for medical reasons (like cancer), or as a punishment for a sexual crime, could be considered a eunuch, but I don't think that is the...

Sex, however, can simply be a physical-emotional meeting between two people. Humans have a sex drive that goes much...

What is worse for your long term health, smoking 5 cigarettes a day or drinking 5 alcoholic drinks a day? Well, I think to really answer that question, you'd have to be a medical expert and you'd have to do an in-depth study. Anything short of that would be mere guesswork. But I think it would depend on the alcoholic beverage. Some have health benefits that you could say would offset the health risks. Red wine for instance has good effects on the heart.

In fact, for some people I think it isn't until their 30s that they blossom -- at 19 they still look a little awkward or gawky, or babyish, they haven't come into their features yet. On the other hand, there are some people who, at 19, encapsulate that certain youthful beauty, and they'll never top it again.

Why is white bread white? Wheat bread last longer and is much more nutricious. So why white? White bread is wheat bread. It is white because the bran and germ have been sifted out of the wheat flour before baking.

You are incorrect to say that whole wheat bread lasts longer, although a certain loaf of whole wheat bread may very well last longer than a certain loaf...

They can refer you to someone, and if you have financial restraints, they will at least be able to tell you about your options. Good luck!

When you watch a murder mystery/police show they always question neighbours, co-workers, friends, clients, etc. Have you ever been questioned about a crime? Feel free to to elaborate Not personally, no. But my friends and relatives were questioned about me. I'd run away from home. My wife was also questioned as a teenager because a friend of hers had run away. But I've never personally spoken with a policeman, that I can remember.

My guy friend told me to wait for him until we're in uni next year. However, after two weeks when I asked him if he liked me,he said that it doesn't mean anything even if he did,so take the answer as a no. I don't understand how he really feels towards me I'm sorry to say it, but this guy is not in to you. If he was, he wouldn't postpone the relationship (asking you to wait till next year). And he definitely wouldn't say that he did not like you. Although he said it in a weird roundabout way, that is what he said: "no." This person is not your friend. I think it would be best for you to walk away, take your time to...

I have birth control pills and my b/f doesn't want to use condoms anymore....he says its a waste of money to buy condoms but it not a waste if i dont wanna be pregnant. what should i do/say? When it comes down to it, only you are responsible for yourself. If you don't want to get pregnant, you have to take your reproductivity, so to speak, into your own hands. If you take the pill properly, your chances of getting pregnant are significantly reduced, but not by 100%. As I said in a comment to someone else, my best friend got pregnant when she was using the pill properly....

Answer to:
Do you say goodnight to your significant other? And if you do how so? (Ex: by text or phon e or e-mail or etc.) I do say goodnight to her, and I do so in person because we live together, she's my wife. Usually we go to bed together, and at some point before falling asleep I will say "goodnight," but when we don't go to bed together I say "goodnight" when she is going to bed or when I am.

I'm thinking about getting a degu. What do they eat, what kind of cage do they require, what colors are there are, and what's their lifespan? And do they make good pets in the first place? I very strongly recommend doing your own research. Just google "degu" and read every page that pops up. Compare the different websites: you don't want to rely on one person's incorrect or incomplete information. Also find an appropriate vet before you buy the degu, and make an appointment right after you get one so you can ensure it is healthy and so you can ask any...

How many lines are in a finger print? I think it must depend on the person. My wife's hands are much, much wrinklier than mine, for instance (we are the same age) -- I haven't seen her fingerprint, but it wouldn't surprise me if it had more lines than my own.

I'm a lesbian who does not like penetration. I know many lesbians masturbate with dildos and have sex using a strap on with their partners. I'm just not into that. Is this uncommon for a lesbian? I don't know any statistics for how common it is, but I do know you're not alone. And it's not just lesbians: there are people from all walks of life who don't like penetration. Probably a higher degree of lesbians, though. Of course in no case is it the majority, but who cares? There's nothing wrong with you, no matter how many others like you there are (or...

Answer to:
I haven't had a girlfriend in a while, and I'm feeling a little lonely. Almost all my friends have companions. Should I 'get out there', and go find a girl, or should I wait until I find one that I feel is just right for me? I think the answer depends on how lonely you are. If it is really affecting you life, be proactive: join a dating service, or a club or sports team, or go out to bars -- wherever you think you might the kinds of people who interest you. But if it's just a little lonely once in awhile, don't worry about: pretty much everyone feels that way sometimes.

Do you flirt with the people wh delivers your pizza? No, the guy who delivers my pizza (because I only order from one place, and it is a small independent place with apparently only one delivery guy) is not my type in any way. Also even if he was my type, there really is no opportunity to flirt, he barely makes eye contact let alone talks.

Have you ever dated secretly without letting anyone know, including your parents? Well, it wasn't 100% secret. I didn't go out of my way to keep it secret, so my best friend knew, and his best friend knew, and my mother knew, but I didn't advertise the fact or really go out where I might be seen with him. He was a nice guy but kind of funny looking, that is why I kept it a secret. I was a kid at the time: I'm not saying it was a nice thing to do!

And, of course, there are degrees of socialization: different people have different opinions on what degree is adequate...

All of a sudden all of my besties are mad because I apparently spend too much time with him when they're around... what do I do? I can't ignore him! Okay, I have two principles to suggest to you: 1) Open and honest communication is beneficial when hurt feelings happen 2) Quality time is more important than the quantity of time spent To elaborate: It sounds to me like your friends are missing their alone time with you. Since you consider them your friends and want to keep them, you should listen to their feelings and try to do...

Or am I the only one who sees something weird here? Well, "weird" and "not okay" are different things. "Weird" doesn't carry any judgement with it: it just means unusual, uncommon, strange, etc. If I say something "is not okay," that is a negative judgement, and has nothing to do with how common it is. So, I think it is weird, especially that this is happening with the parent's blessing. ...

They also dig and bite me when they are out. How can i stop this? Some rabbits will never like being handled, but it sounds to me like these two are very insecure. I think you need to put some effort into building up their security, and their trust in you. (And as always, a good relationship with a vet is a major bonus.

You have two children. One is all sunshiny and happy, the other very dark and moody. How do you treat them equitably or can you? Equality isn't about giving everyone the exact same thing. It's about raising everyone to the same level by giving them what they as individuals require. You show them the same amount of love and give them the same amount of support and acceptance, but because they are so different, you will have to do it in different ways. You have to pay attention to your children in order to...

If you had to beat up two out of three of your bf's sisters because they were so rude, would you even want to deal with the third? Don't witches travel in threes? No one has ever had to beat someone up because they are rude. If someone is rude you avoid them as much as you can, and if necessary, you tell them straightforward and calmly how you feel they're treating you. You didn't "have" to beat them up: you chose to. Now, what do you mean by "dealing" with the third? How do you think it makes your boyfriend feel to...

Do you have a live-in mother-in-law who abuse you? what does she do/say? and how are you handling it? I've never lived with my mother-in-law, but when I first entered her family, she was mean to me and unwelcoming. She was passive aggressive, and some examples are she would disparage our physical intimacy, like if we chose to sit very close together on the sofa, or share a towel when I spent the night, she would mock us in a condescending and even disgusted tone; or she would have...

Answer to:
My girlfriend cheated on me and i put it behind me and gave her a second chance. she still talks to the guy that she cheated with everyday by phone calls, emails, texting late at night right in front of me.. i have done everything ican should i let hergo? Yes, let her go. I think it is good to give people second chances -- my wife gave me a second chance more than 5 years ago, and I don't think I've let her down since, and I am extremely grateful to her -- but it doesn't appear your girlfriend wants this second chance. Maybe she says she does, and maybe she says she is sorry, but her behaviour tells a different story.

Answer to:
Is there one person who came into your life suddenly, left unexpectedly, and made a lasting impact that changed you forever? If so, who and how did they change you? I wouldn't say lasting impact that changed me forever ... but I still think of him often, and I suppose he may have been a catalyst for certain thought and behaviour patterns

Answer to:
Who made a change to you? Do you mean, who changed for me, or who did I change for?

Answer to:
Have you ever kissed a married man/women or someone in a committed relationship? Yes, when I was 17 or so I had an affair with a girl (20 or so) who was engaged to a guy (23 or so) I'd dated three years previous. It lasted a few months. Eventually the guy found out through a mutual friend; there was a night of phone conversations, but I can't really remember the fallout.

Answer to:
Is it your fault if someone gets angry and punches a wall? Well, I think you'd want to look at your own behaviour and examine it for having provoked that kind of anger in someone, because people rarely get that angry for no reason. But ultimately, if someone punches a wall, that is their own fault, due to their own violent tendencies and poor self-control.

Answer to:
HOW CAN U MEASURE LOVE? I don't think you can. Some people talk about love like there is Real and True love and then there is the rest, as though there is a precise division, and as though there are some forms of love that don't count. I disagree. Love is what it is.

Answer to:
If a relationship deepens quickly, but yet feels right, is it wise to allow it to continue deepening, or to apply some kind of brakes? I don't think any brakes are necessarily required, but I think, to avoid unnecessary heartache, people should always be aware of their own feelings and thoughts and should communicate openly and honestly with the other person. People should also strive to keep in mind the general fact that life is forever changing and it's unreasonable to think that something one way one day will...

Answer to:
If your boyfriend or husband cant see that he's friends are using him how do you make him see it I think, if you've made your case, there is nothing more for you to do. I mean, he knows your opinion, but ultimately they are his friends and his relationships and his business. For the sake of peace, avoid those friends of his, and let him run his own life himself, and come to his own conclusions on his own time.

Answer to:
Do you still think about your first love? if so how often? I'm not sure if you mean the first person I fell in love with, or the person I had my first "love affair" with. But I guess, in both cases, the answer is: yes, occasionally (say, fleetingly, every 6 months or so). We are facebook friends, but otherwise we don't keep in touch.

His daddy moved out because ... why? --because you and he didn't get along, because he wanted to live with someone else, because he wanted to live alone, because ... whatever the truth happens to be.

I have a two year old son and when he goes potty he always pees all over the place. I have already tried to get him to stand up, but that doesn't work. Please help, I don't know what to do. Little boys often sit on the toilet to go pee, and aim their penis into the toilet bowl. This is how my cousins and brother peed when they were 2 years old. By the time they are 6 they should be able to learn how to pee standing up without getting pee all over.

Is it possible to get an ex back if they dumped you but now they've apologised? is the apology just to make you feel not as hurt or could it be that they still want communication between you both? I think context is all-important in this case. Is there something specific he apologized for? I mean, did he break up with you in a particularly nasty way, and this is what his apology is about? If this is the case, I would take the apology at face value. However, if it's more like he expressed regret for the actual break-up of your relationship (i.e. not how he did it, but that he...

It sounds like a jealousy issue or an appeal for attention. I think you need to convince your son that he is special and wanted on his own terms. You should instill pride in him, so that he doesn't want to be like other people, but is happy and secure being himself. For instance, babies are special because they get taken care of, but 3+1/2 year olds are special because _________...

Have you helped someone today? Yes, but not specifically. I mean, I tend to hold doors for people -- I probably did do this at some point today. Also, my job is about helping people by note-taking for deaf/hard-of-hearing college students -- so I helped people in this capacity. Also I helped the woman who sells hot dogs keep her job by patronizing her hot dog stand. That's all I can think of.

I am a professional in my 30s and have a coworker who insists on calling me "little one". Would you take offense and is so, how would you approach your coworker about it? I'm not sure I would take offense, but I think it's entirely reasonable that you do (assuming you do). If I were you, I'd tell the person you find it demeaning when they call you "little one," and you'd appreciate it if they'd stop. Keep your tone light-hearted and friendly. You can even phrase it like it's your little quirk that you'd like...

So there is this girl i like for abt 4 months now. I had a chance with her but i fked up and deleted her facebook and wall posts.. I said sorry but she didnt accept my apology and never talked to me..She likes another guy now what can i do? I think her true colours have come through. Anyone who doesn't accept a sincere apology -- especially when it is for something as small as what you described (it's not like you mutilated her dog or anything) -- is petty, snobbish, and not worth your time. Move on, and be thankful you discovered this about her now!

Don't approach her about the 69 position specifically. Instead, talk to her about her waning interest in sex and your desire to try new things.

You slip it over your penis when you're soft, then when you get hard, it keeps you hard (and you remove it either by stretching it out, or with a quick-release mechanism, depending on the design).

It does sound like you're overweight. I think you're right to be concerned, because your health affects all areas of your life; and if you're in good health, you'll feel better, look better, and have an easier time reaching your goals. However, weight isn't a perfect measure of health. A thin person can be more unhealthy than a fat person. What really matters...

Why do TEENAGE girls hate eating, even the ones without an eating disorder? I think if someone "hates" eating, that is an eating disorder. I think you're wildly generalizing. I didn't hate eating when I was a teenager (I am female), nor did any of my female friends.

I've turned rather anti-Christian in a way that I don't think is right. The religion has some points of view that I strongly disagree with, but there's no need to be forming prejudices. How can I redirect these thoughts into something more positive? I empathize, I've kind of had this problem myself. I suggest learning more about Christianity. Christianity is a diverse religion. Two people or churches that both call themselves "Christian" may behave and believe very differently from one another. You may already know this as a truthful statement, but if you learn it in a deeper way by studying Christianity in its many...

What does this mean is it flirting? I think she was just asking you a question. I'm assuming your head was down? Or else, for some other reason, it looked like you weren't paying attention to the class? That's why the teacher thought you were sleeping, and why the girl thought you were using a cell phone. She could have been trying to flirt with you, but in and of itself, it was just a question. You could...

Answer to:
What does this phrase mean? "What does this mean? "you don't take yourself so seriously, that you would suffer for your feelings"? Whatever it means, it's not grammatically correct. Did you intend to repeat yourself (What does this mean? "What does this mean?...)? This doubly-confused me. My guess is that it means "You don't take yourself seriously enough to suffer for your feelings." It sounds like an accusation of shallowness, and maybe insincerity.

You pay as little attention to him as possible -- without being outright rude -- and instead focus your attentions on the enjoyable aspects of the event. You certainly don't let your dislike for him escalate into causing any kind, no matter how small, of a scene.
