Is it possible after a break up , to get back together and for it to last a long time? It can but rarely. From experience the relationship never reaches the same depth of feeling or intimacy and so it eventually wanes. Usually when getting back together, the relationship goes through an on , off pattern until the final parting. Only when both acknowledge and work on the issues can a different outcome arise. If one wants to get back together but not fix the problem, it wont work.

In the rare instances it works, its when the friendship is very well established before the romance started, and when the relationship ended mutually.

I was in the newspaper a couple years back (see inside) for donating money and toys. What is something you have done for the community? For 18 months I took many many landfill sacks outside of shops, recycled the contents properly, gave stuff to charity, got 25 shops to take up cardboard recycling and in the same year planted hundreds of trees. In the end the council jumped on me and put a stop to it, but the change in attitudes with shopkeepers was already done. Even now years on, the 25 shops dont put cardboard in landfill.

If you're about to be rammed head on, is it better to accelerate into the other vehicle or just stay still and take it? (Barring any other possible options) accelerating is bad, it increases the impact energies, if possible slam on brakes and spin around 180degrees and try going the other way. if you cant do that, and theirs noone in the front passenger seat, turn that side of the car toward the oncoming vehicle

I used walking poles horizontally to bridge deep drifts and practised making snow holes.

A mother dying from terminal cancer begged her daughter to end her suffering. The daughter took an electrical cord, showed it to her mother and strangled her. Would you end someone's life in a mercy killing if the person was suffering terribly? Its worth bearing in mind from a Buddhist point of view that by accepting the suffering - it can reduce ones negative karmic balance. If one assists in a mercy killing, one takes life, and this has karmic consequence, though maybe not as much as killing in general.

I have feelings for a guy w/ gf. she seems to love him more than he loves her. hes not the kind to cheat (and im not encouraging that either), but should i still wait for him? how can i tell if he has feelings for me? Never try and develop a relationship with someone who is not available. Its not right, and if the situation was reversed it wouldnt be comfortable for you no doubt. The other thing to bear in mind is people need 6 - 12 months between relationships, so even if he left, he wouldnt be able to be with you for some time anyway, by which time you will probably have moved on.

Given that all we ever perceive of the universe comes in through senses which are ultimately mental impressions, nothing can ever exist outside of mind, or if it does - it is permanently unknowable and unperceivable.

In chess, the Bishop and Knight are of roughly equal strength. But on the whole which one do you prefer? The Knight is more useful in the endgame as it can do different moves. the bishop is confined to one colour of the game throughout and thus the other player can avoid the bishops threats by bearing that in mind.

Not all questions concerning race are racist or offensive! Often it can be very helpful to open a discussion. Why are some ABers quick to judge or get offended if a question even mentions race?

I'm a vegetarian, but I also REFUSE to eat fish. I like it, but I think it's wrong eating animals. Is there a name for someone who is vegetarian and won't eat fish, or am I just a vegetarian who won't eat fish? If someone eats fish they are not a vegetarian by name. Their diet maybe predominantly vegetarian, but the eating of fish makes one a carnivore / a meat eater. Its as clear as that. A fish - vegetarian is a name for someone that wants to call themselves a veggie whilst still eating animal flesh, but they are still a meat eater.

How does a person wake up dead? When you die your consciousness is momentarily lost as most of us do not have the spiritual ability to maintain awareness through the moment of death. At the time it will feel like you are simply being extinguished, like a flame snuffed out. Moments later your awareness will return, and you will be in the after life dimension.

I live in florida and need to leave my husband. We have a two year old and I am having a baby girl in two weeks. I can't afford a lawyer right now but I am worried about who legally gets the kids while we are working toward a divorce. How do I find out? As a general rule custody cases tend to favour the mother, with a ruling for access by the father though it has to be done through a family court. You would do better to come to an arrangement with your husband, unless he is violent and abusive, in which case if that is proved full custody will undoubtably be yours

I have an 88 honda accord. It has 204,0000mi. I have been very diligent with keeping up maintenance. It runs good and smoothe, BUT, over the last year the gas mileage has dropped from 27 to 20 mpg. what could cause this. It could be it needs a new air filter, or the carburettor parts are worn, letting too much fuel into the engine. Float needles wear and do not shut off the fuel properly when the float bowl is full, sending excess fuel into the cylinder. Try a carb overhaul, after having tried carb balancing techniques. Do a compression test. Worn piston rings or valves can also contribute to poor fuel economy.

What happens to dooms day cults after their "dooms day" passes without incident? They probably disband or come up with a reason why the day passed without incident, and maybe reinvent the story to come up with a new date. In extreme cases some cults may be so disillusioned and their view of reality so challenged that they are unable to cope and they may take their own lives.

Japanese researchers are looking for ways to reduce stress levels in tuna caught in nearby waters, so they taste better when they hit the plate. Do you really think that stressed fish taste any different from unstressed ones? There may be no physical difference in appearance, however on the spiritual and energetic level stress causes damage to ones aura or energy field. To then consume something with a damaged aura transfers the negative energies to ones own aura. It is worth noting that eating any dead flesh of any kind is harmful to ones spiritual energy / aura.

Why does the passion of a new romance inevitably drift towards 'being comfortable with each other' as time progresses? (in long term relationships) The passion and high is impermanent, as is the intense emotional feelings. Thus when they wane, you either split up or become best friends type lovers which is more common in long term relationships.

Do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and why? Yes, because the economy has a tendency of pulling all the wealth out of the system, and piling it up in banks, rather than circulating the wealth around.

This partly contributes toward the rift between rich and poor, as well as executives and managers wages increasing far faster than bottom end workers.

Why can we not see God? Because God/Divine/Atman/Absolute is hidden by our surroundings, which are simply projections and manifestations of the ego-mind or self. Once we realize the illusion of self, and the nature of mind and of our surroundings we can see / feel God/Divine/Atman.

Answer to:
Why is a crush sometimes considered love? because the infatuation is confused with love. The heady, intoxicating, giddy, cloud nine feeling is NOT love, it is physical attraction, hormones and emotions. Love comes in time , and is steady, calm and has a strong element of friendship and seeing the other person for who they are

Theres a guy i really like. But were just friends and he seriously doesnt even have a clue how i feel. How can i let him know without outright telling him how i feel? Express your feelings as naturally as possible within the context of friendliness. Telling him outright puts him on the spot. You could try a hug, or a hand squeeze with eye contact, or something like that.

Answer to:
Have you ever been really in love with someone, but for one reason or another had to let them go and it hurts cause they can move on but you can't, how do you get over it, and still have a friendship? You get over it in time, by processing the emotions, letting go and moving forward. Having a friendship, if he/she is over it and you are not will not work. Usually the desire to have a friendship, on a deeper level is about not wanting to let go. A minimu of 12 months no contact and being over the relationship are the requisites for friendship with an ex.

Answer to:
My boyfriend and I broke up 4 months ago. A month after we called it quits, he already had a new girlfriend! We were together for 3 years! I don't want him back, but it hurts me to know that he is with someone else and I 'm with no one! What can I do? All you can do is accept what has happened. Love has its seasons, and there will be a time when you will be with someone. It may be good to be alone for a while after a long relationship. Do what is right for you , and maybe try and let him do what is right for him. If you dont want him back, move on. It may be in another time, the situation is reversed. I have seen it in peoples lives....

I SMOKED WEED 14 DAYS AGO AND HAVE TO GIVE A URINE SAMPLE FOR WORK, WILL I TEST POSITVE? I NEVER SMOKE WEED EXCEPT FOR 14 DAYS AGO. Anything up to 90 days I believe, depending on the metabolic rate of your body. The slower it is, the longer it will take to break down and be removed from the body. If you eat a lot of fat, it will end up stored in your fat for a while. If you are athletic, and slim - I think the time will be much less.

These contain salts and sugars, and may well fool the test machine into not realizing your urine is overdiluted.

How can you tell if your in love if you have never been in love before? I think it is important and wise to be able to differentiate between falling in lust and falling in love. If you have just met them, its intensely physical and/or sexual and you are on a sudden high - then you've fallen in lust. If you have known them a while, theres a degree of emotional intimacy, acceptance, trust and a strong friendship then that could be love.

Why is e(ecstasy) made if its so damaging, is it just for the money and to get others addicted? As far as I understand, though Im happy to be corrected if wrong, pure ectasy is MDMA which is relatively harmless without alcohol. The main problems are when it is mixed with amphetamines, ketamine, and other harmful adulterants. Addiction is psychological, not physical if pure MDMA is involved, otherwise there could be physical addiction to amphetamines.

If an aircraft carrier is destroyed, the nukes do not detonate, as far as I understand it.

My rubber tree has grown so tall, that it touches the ceiling. Which is the way to trim it and can I replant the cuttings? Trim it with clean and NOT RUSTY secateurs. Make the cuts just below where a leaf of stem comes out of the trunk. If you cut the top, it will bush out. Cut out side bits and it will grow up. Using this information you can determine how you want it to grow and where to cut. If you just want it shorter by a few feet then just cut the main stem neatlyn and with care. Be prepared later to trim...
