Have you had such an experience?<br /><br />Sometimes - it&#039;s called an auditory hypnagogic hallucination.

The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse."?<br /><br />Sounds like war-time propoganda.

In my job I frequently have to wear things that weigh fifty pounds, or leave huge red welts from corset boning or just plain smell bad. When I get out of that crap I&#039;m all about the comfort, baby!

" There are two defining forces which have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ, for your soul, the American soldier, for your freedom."<br /><br />It sounds like bumper-sticker propoganda to me.

Sure it&#039;s got some major flaws in the portrayal of medical practice (have YOU ever seen a doctor draw blood? Hello! Why are they doing the work of nurses and lab techs?). But it&#039;s still far more interesting than GA, IMHO.

She said she wanted it too and felt a gushing forth of emotions, and a sudden deepening of love. Is this a normal response?<br /><br />that&#039;s pretty poetic - are those her words or yours? Who&#039;s to say what&#039;s normal? I think when you realize someone feels as deeply for you as you do for them, a little gushing is to be expected. Don&#039;t get weirded out.

It&#039;s like a compulsion. When I see them I want to give myself a hair cut.

I don&#039;t use male ob/gyns and it&#039;s not because I&#039;m shy about exams. A male ob/gyn is like someone who has an owner&#039;s manual for something he doesn&#039;t own.

Now if the words &quot;Endorsed by Noam Chomsky&quot; were on it I freely admit that I would buy it without putting any thought in to it. It would be an almost Pavlovian response.

I have come home unexpected several times to him masterbating while looking at porn. This hurts me that he feels this need, we have a great sex life. So why does he do this?<br /><br />I agree with Wasp but, as a woman, I can understand why you might have hurt feelings about it. 1. Watching porn is what guys do. I bet if you look at the cave paintings at Lascaux you will find stick figures having sex somewhere. 2. It&#039;s entirely possible that you have a great sex life...

Whose business is it what consenting adults do in private? Why shouldn't it be legal?<br /><br />It&#039;s against the law because government wants to legislate what goes on in the bedroom as well as crawling up inside a woman&#039;s uterus afterwards to legislate what goes on there. As far as I&#039;m concerened objections to prostitution are pretty religion-based which, of course,...

Were you wearing a pinkie ring at the time? Or did you powder-up? Backhand or forehand?<br /><br />I thought a pimp slap, by definition was a backhand. Never done it myself. I box. If you manage to anger/threaten me in to using physical violence you will likely recieve the following combo: jab jab cross jab uppercut jab cross jab hook. Good night.

If people are already using you as a babysitter and you charge them money for it, I think you just need to make sure you are only taking care of the legal maximum and not advertising yourself as a &#039;daycare provider&#039; Fri, 19 Jun 2009 09:19:59 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6856961 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6856653 What group of writers are ernest hemingway and f. scott fitzgerald associated with?<br /><br />The Lost Generation, also, Hemingway hated Fitzgerald&#039;s guts.

I tried to express my frustrations but he laughs and keeps going. I know he's just joking but it makes me feel like he doesn't take me seriously. What can I do?<br /><br />There&#039;s a little bit of truth in every jest. If you are not getting what you want from him now, you&#039;ll be not getting it from him for the rest of your life. the biggest mistake women make when picking a partner is thinking that they can change them or that, over time they will change...

He is financially stable, gives the kid money all the time for anything she wants, and get's along with the parents (they like him for the money). Is this ok? Or am I the only one who sees something weird here?<br /><br />This is straight up pimp&#039;n.

I think people who put forth the effort to get out of doing anything are not exhibiting laziness but rather are engaging in a power struggle...with perhaps a dash of sloth.

We born alone we will die alone, why need people in between and be unhappy over it? Is this a stupit question?<br /><br />Because we&#039;re pack animals. We may express our individuality more than other species, but we&#039;re pack animals. Our lives are made easier by interconnectivity and so, for ease and self-preservation we form symbiotic relationships with other humans.

They get pissed, ticked, testy and upset. So how do you know which questions to avoid entirely because the questioner only wants agreement?<br /><br />You can avoid a good majority of those questions by never responding to a question about either politics or religion.
