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...

How does that make you feel?<br /><br />Could you provide us with more details?

Oh, I see... okay... wait, it doesn't distinguish between new and old feedback?!! Damnit! ...wait, there's no more ratings??!! DAMNIT! Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:08:51 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8515922 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8515884 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<br /><br />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...

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...

I have tried EVERYTHING! Is it me or is it her that can't climax?<br /><br />Have you asked her? 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...

Yes I know it&#039;s circular -- you don&#039;t believe because you don&#039;t believe -- but it&#039;s the simple truth. One&#039;s personal experiences with religiosity, one&#039;s brilliant rational faculties, these are reasons people often...

My head consults my heart, it&#039;s not like I ignore my heart, but I&#039;ve learned to depend more on my head. My heart gets me into trouble.

Praise God! your decision. God's will be Done!<br /><br />How will praising God result in me coming to my senses? Edit: Wait a minute, this isn&#039;t a question. This is AB: it&#039;s not for any old post, it&#039;s for questions and answers. -1 I hope you understand that I&#039;m not DRing you for your faith or proselytism, just for not...

I'm 19 btw so an adult. How should I calm down<br /><br />I totally empathise with you. I used to tell lies and get exactly into this kind of anxious state. A number of years ago I realized that if I stopped telling lies I&#039;d stop getting into these messes, and it&#039;s true. Now this kind of shit never happens to me. There&#039;s no way to calm...

Maldon salt (the best of the best) and whole peppercorns.

Little things like last week, I was sitting in class and suddenly...

Just wash your hair regularly (shampoo, conditioner), and it will come out. If you don&#039;t mix your weed with tobacco the smell won&#039;t hang around as long or be as potent. Don&#039;t know the science behind that but from 15 years experience I can say it seems...

Actually, I thought it was poisonous or something. So I&#039;ve just googled it and I found this http://www.drlam.com/opinion/rawpotato.asp which says raw potato is toxic and can damage your body in large amounts, but I also found a bunch of...

(ex:Instant mashed potatoes, premade hashbrowns, the Cheesy potatoes you bake in the oven. OR make your own hashbrowns and mashed etc.)<br /><br />I probably consume more pre-made, because the vast majority of potato I eat comes in French fried form at restaurants or fast-food joints. I&#039;m assuming that counts as pre-made? But any potatoes that enter my home are actual potatoes. Outside of that brief stink when you first move out of...

I was living in a city at the time and had never heard of anything but flickering power, very brief power outs, etc., but some areas were out of power for weeks if I remember correctly -- in the city! My neighbourhood was lucky because our lines were...

Sounds more like fat cat relief than job relief to me. Whose side is Obama on?<br /><br />Whose side is Obama on ... America&#039;s, of course, and since when has America been a socialist nation? Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:31:42 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8493661 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8493654 Do you like congratulating other Answerbaggers on whatever feat they may have accomplished? Or do you think it is a waste of time?<br /><br />I don&#039;t do it, it would certainly be a waste of *my* time, but hell if other people get something out of it that&#039;s none of my concern! I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s a waste of *their* time: how would I know whether it&#039;s worthwhile for them or not?

It annoys me and upsets me and angers me that people don&#039;t have the resources (well, aren&#039;t aware...

When I go to the salon these days I insist on no flat iron (they always want to use the flat iron). They can blow dry it or diffuse it I don&#039;t care, just no flat iron. I think I look better...

(Assuming he's someone you would date)<br /><br />Well, I would consider that an attractive trait, yes. But I mean if he was an ugly ass-hole, his financial situation wouldn&#039;t make up for it and make *him* attractive: it would just be a single attractive trait within an unattractive person. Edit: I re-read your question and see you said...

What is the difference between your outside temp. and mine?<br /><br />Wow it&#039;s that cold for you already! We&#039;ve been hovering around zero for awhile now. I don&#039;t know about wind chill though.

I don&#039;t find his recent ventures funny though.

(They do the shopping and deliver)<br /><br />I think in most places there are ways to get your groceries delivered. External organizations do the deliver, not usually the grocery stores themselves. But anyway, no I wouldn&#039;t have my groceries delivered because when I go grocery shopping on Sundays that is sometimes the only time I...

You are not authorized to make copies of and distribute those materials, so if you do so you&#039;re doing so illegally. File sharing of your own creations is not a crime.

I can&#039;t stand by this kind of thinking. That is just not the God I know. God&#039;s Creation is beautiful and true and reveals things about the divine: it&#039;s not deceptive.

A lighter? That could light the cigarettes. Or something to concentrate the sunlight, like a magnifying glass? That could light the cigarettes too (or so I&#039;ve been told). Or two...

A person who can&#039;t consent to sex can&#039;t be blamed for it: the adult gets in trouble.

I&#039;ve also warmed up on dogs; I could see myself owning a couple of small dogs. (If I had the space, time, and money anyway.)

He hasn't visited his home town in 15 years and they send him pictures all the time?<br /><br />That does not sound especially believable, no.

I&#039;m not saying they definitely don&#039;t exist, I just don&#039;t know about it. A handful of people I know do believe in ghosts, but it doesn&#039;t sound especially credible to me.

I don&#039;t always speak up, in fact I usually don&#039;t (in person I mean, I usually do speak up in AB), but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s because I&#039;m intimidated.

I also fooled myself into thinking I couldn&#039;t confide my feelings to her, that I had to have a private self, I guess. Those reasons, and because I wanted to. Why I...

He said that no girl would ever ask her boyfriend to wear a butt plug so I decided to ask you girls on here, do you think he should wear it for me?<br /><br />I can&#039;t say if he should wear it for you, but I *can* say that plenty of girls *do* ask their boyfriends to wear butt plugs. There&#039;s a sex advice column called Savage Love, it&#039;s widely syndicated but it&#039;s also published online. I&#039;ve been reading this for 10 years now...

For example I am on the tall side and my wife is quite short: there&#039;s no way I could EVER fit into a dress of hers, no matter how much weight I lost. My very bone structure -- my shoulders, rib cage, hips...

They don't realize that you can hate a black dude without being racist. Any suggestions?<br /><br />You hate him with a passion? That&#039;s ridiculous. Or excessive, anyway. A waste of emotion, at least. But aside from my opinions on passionate hatred, if you can justify your own opinion on Obama then you don&#039;t have anything to worry about. If someone calls you a racist simply say... Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:12:12 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8440970 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8438289 Im so pissed off right now. People never tell me ANYTHING and usually hear about something way after everyone else. WTF!!!!! What can I do about this since EVERY ONE IGNORES ME!!!<br /><br />I think you have to stop caring so much whether you&#039;re in the know or not. Easier said than done, but I think it should be your main goal. There&#039;s really only so much we can do to control our external environment and the way other people act.

Nutritionists, caregivers, ECEs and teachers, chefs/cooks, and probably other people could give you very good advice on this issue also. I am none of these things but I will still suggest a healthy breakfast: oatmeal. (I&#039;m talking...

What does that mean?<br /><br />It means you need to talk to your wife -- and this might be difficult because if someone&#039;s been lying it can be a great struggle to start telling the truth (to expose yourself).

Is it to get him off or to get her off?<br /><br />You mean finger, right? It could be for either reason or for both. It could also be a mistaken assumption (perhaps his last girlfriend liked that, so he figures this one will too). You&#039;d really have to ask the guy in question. I mean who knows why anyone does what they do? I did have a...

From what I can tell, you read about people with undisclosed STIs (meaning secret Sexually Transmitted Infections) having unsafe sex and thereby exposing their sex partners to their STIs and possibly infecting them? Yes, that does happen and it&#039;s terrible....

But whatever anyone here says, you MUST find the official information. Not only might we ABers be wrong, but these kinds of rules vary from place to place.

Do you mean her: the unmarried girl? Are you asking if it&#039;s okay to have premarital sex? In my opinion it is okay.

(Unless you made it up yourself.) But being slang, and relatively new slang at that, there&#039;s bound to be plenty of people who haven&#039;t heard it before.

Here&#039;s my theory: Your mom thinks you&#039;re too young to have a boyfriend because she&#039;s thinking about what having a boyfriend represents, instead of thinking about the specifics of you and your...

It would definitely be unsatisfactory. Possibly even harmful. I don&#039;t believe there&#039;s a moral code that says one must act upon one&#039;s sexuality, but it&#039;s a good principle to follow nonetheless.

Her dad is against it but I am worried she is wanting to have sex. She likes a 16 year old. Help what do I say to my husband to make him wake up?<br /><br />What worries me most about this isn&#039;t the thought of your step-daughter having sex (I had sex at 14, and at 28 I&#039;ve never regretted it), but how she&#039;s focusing on the pill. I mean I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like the implication here is that the pill is the only...

Of course, if you do something illegal or &quot;immoral,&quot; you risk getting found out by your parents or the law, and getting in trouble for it: so, either way you look at it, money doesn&#039;t really come easy.

I haven&#039;t heard that one. Good with money, that I&#039;ve heard. People stereotype out of laziness. They don&#039;t want to go through the effort required to judge individuals by their individuality so instead they lump them in a group and judge them by the group. People also...

Once alive, he will kill himself as a sacrifice to Himself to save us from the sin He originally condemned to us. Confusing?<br /><br />I don&#039;t know of any belief system that claims God created man and woman with original sin. Adam and Eve were pure, innocent, until they chose to sin (by disobeying God -- breaking his one rule). Part of their punishment was that their sin would be passed down to their children, so you can...

I know you said &quot;singer&quot; specifically, and I wouldn&#039;t really say either are great their singing skills ... but I&#039;d still say Dylan. His voice has a certain ethos ... Yoko Ono&#039;s voice, a certain flatness (not as attractive). BUT I also...

I don&#039;t think mentioning a politician in a prayer is appropriate. A prayer is spoken to God, and I don&#039;t think God has any role in the ascension or descent of any politician.

Morality, at it&#039;s base, relies on love. Although I believe love comes from God, I can also see it as an organic, emergent property ... something coming from the advanced development of the human system, which developed over time through evolution.

I suspect MRIs are more expensive than mammograms and that most insurance plans (private or public) don&#039;t cover them for breast cancer screenings. If they do have the option, I bet a common reason women go for the mammogram instead is because they...

Paganism wasn&#039;t really on the table for them: they were raised believing in the one true God and the coming of a future messiah, and in Jesus they saw that messiah....

Last I checked interracial dating wasn't against the law...<br /><br />First, you have to own your own feelings. No one can make you feel abnormal: outside of abusive circumstances perhaps, or mental disabilities, no one can *make* you feel anything. Your emotions, your internal conditions, are entirely within your control. I&#039;m not saying this to blame you:...

It&#039;s high in fibre and low in fat. That&#039;s assuming plain, natural popcorn. The ingredient list would be: corn; and the method of popping would be hot air. If you&#039;re talking popcorn at the movies, or that microwaveable crap, that&#039;s another story.

I jokingly told them to get back to work and he said maybe you would get more work done if you weren't staring at us. He seemed sorry. What's his deal?<br /><br />Sometimes, especially with jokey-teasing, people go too far accidentally. It&#039;s like with physical rough-housing, sometimes you hurt the other person because you don&#039;t know your own strength: you didn&#039;t mean to hurt them, you only meant to play around. So maybe this is like that?...

I'm not really liking how it came out (More green than blue. Yuck.). Is there anything I can do to speed up the washing-out?<br /><br />It doesn&#039;t wash out with shampoo? Huh, it always did for me! Well, white vinegar is a great all-purpose cleanser, you might try that.

You can also go to a hair salon. This costs more than doing it at home but it&#039;s much better for your hair (because of the quality of dye they use and because of their expertise). If you have blond hair you can...

A very basic example: a whoopee cushion prank would make my brother-in-law laugh because he likes fart jokes, but the same prank would not be good to pull on my wife, who does not like fart jokes.

I know you&#039;re frustrated and you may even feel desperate, but you can&#039;t simply &quot;get&quot; a girl friend. You have to wait until you like a girl and she likes you back.

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?<br /><br />Well, what makes sparkling wines festive? There&#039;s nothing inherently festive about sparkling wines: it&#039;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...
