iv recently fell in love with taekwondo mma but my parents say its to expensive.. what is the average prices of taekwondo mma, or how can i get things to train cheaply. mine is $90 monthly and $40 every level up test and then i bought the uniform but i havent gotten all my sparring gear yet i still need $30 more worth of essential stuff. is that normal? what are some muscle drills that work faster n so on? anyyy help on that subject would be perfect thanks!
Many MMA gyms that are considered "legitimate" enough to use a belt system will cost you in that price range. The MMA gym I go to, however, teaches Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and boxing, but doesn't have a system of ranking. They just teach you at whatever level you're comfortable with and move along as you decide. This gym only costs me $45 a month. I won't be officially recognized for anything I learn, but I don't particularly care. I'm just doing it for the health benefits. If you don't care about having a belt or gi, you could do what I did and find some hole-in-the-wall gym with a small but close-knit group of students.
I bought my gear on clearance from mmawarehouse.com, and my bag gloves, handwraps and mouthpiece cost me all of $30.
I suggest attending any aerobic kickboxing classes you can find. That will kick your ass in the most positive way possible.

So I am a freshman in college and I've been on a couple dates with this guy who really likes me a lot. I think hes adorable and sweet and stuff, and it's not like there are any other guys in my life right now, it's just that I don't want to be tied down in a relationship, at least for my first year in college. Is it selfish of me to want to continue dating him but not be labeled his girlfriend? and even so, i have a feeling hes going to ask me to be his girlfriend soon, so how on earth do i tell him how i feel without hurting his feelings?
The best thing to do is to tell him now. You need to tell him you want a platonic relationship before he decides he wants to take it farther. It may not seem like you are leading him on, since you've never told him you wanted a relationship, but you are. It doesn't have to be harsh or disappointing, but it has to be direct and straight-forward. Don't beat around the bush.

How does one achieve a level of "coolness?"
There are several key factors into achieving coolness.
1. Some people associate being cool with how many times you've been beaten up in your life. Pick the biggest, baddest mutha you know and piss them off. Get slaughtered. Heal. Tell everyone the story of how you got each scar. Repeat.
2. You need to know some party tricks. The more dangerous, the better. Learn how to juggle flaming knives, or pull honey out of a live bees' nest.
3. You need a cool nickname. Make it complicated and long, and when people ask about it, tell them it's a long story and you don't want to get into it. This makes you seem mysterious and deep, instead of shallow and retarded. Try Fluffersnuffers. That name has always worked for me.
4. You need a cool vehicle. I hear mopeds and segues are in style this year. Get one of them. Make sure you wear a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads. Safety is cool.
5. Fashion is A-1. Wear the most trendy, modern clothing you can find. Emulate Lady Gaga's style as much as possible.
6. End every sentence with the phrase "in accordance to the prophecy." When people ask what prophecy, pretend to be horrified they don't know, then laugh and walk away. Also, when telling stories in the past tense, always end with "there were no survivors." You'll be a bad-ass storyteller.
If you follow these steps, you'll be the coolest person in your town by the end of the month.

I have been on and off with my husband for almost 9 years, we have been married for one of those 9. We have a child together, our own home, and a happy life for the most part. Recently, my husbands ex, of just a few months, has gotten in contact with me to tell me that he told her everything that he tells me now. That they were engaged and still together when him and I got back together this last time. I asked my husband about this but he swears up and down she is lying just to start problems. She told me he bought her a ring and everything, and that she broke it after she found out he was with me. My husband has been known to lie, but so has this girl. I am not really sure who to believe at this point. I am so hurt and confused.
If this woman has no substantial evidence confirming anything she has said, I would not believe a word of it. What tips me off the most is that she "broke" the ring. I would think any vindictive female would do the smart thing, and SELL IT. Overall, she must have something to gain by attempting to break you two apart. Either she's looking to make him hurt in order to make herself feel better, or she naively believes she can get back with him if she takes you out of the picture.
Put this in the back of your mind and do not hold it against him. Right now, all you've got is some crazy woman's claims. If she cannot prove anything, ignore her.

My boyfriend says he wants space, yet he has been calling me and texting me an we used to live together so when he needs something he texts me an calls me to come over my parents house to get it, like the slightest thing like today his trimmer and to show me his new dog, like the whenever i ask him or other people ask him what we arehe says he doesnt know yet he needs time & space, okayyy so why if you need time & space do u keep calling me and texting me an then why would he want me to tell him what i thought of this new dog he got? im so confused please i need advice
The info I am given is that you are 18, so I'll assume that this is correct, and your boyfriend is the same age. Having once been a 18 year old boy, and being the inherit pessimist I am, as well as having been a terrible boyfriend in the past, I have come to what I believe to be the most likely conclusion.
Your "boyfriend" is cheating on you.
Allow me to explain. "Time and space" is his way of saying "I've been having luck with other girls and I don't want you around when they're here." Him texting and calling and wanting you around is his way of saying "I struck out today but I don't want to be alone so please come to me."
How can you confirm? When you notice he's not trying to contact you at all, try and contact him. He'll probably shoot you down. Now, I could be terribly wrong; you know him a lot better than I do. But I know how guys his age think sometimes, and I used to do the same thing. The fact that you used to live together only helps solidify my reasoning. After living with my girlfriend and subsequently moving out, I would seek out other girls, but use my ex as a last resort to keep from being alone. It's sad and pathetic, and I'm glad I'm past that stage, but I'm not the only one who has been there.

this saturday i have to take a psat test and have karate level testing. they overlap times and i cant be late to either. i cant decide i wud prefer karate but i shudnt miss the psat n i cant miss either! what do i ??
Let me put it this way. Unless you're vying for an ivy league school with plans to become a lawyer or something equally difficult, the PSAT is useless. I didn't study for my SAT. I didn't take the PSAT. I did no preparation for it whatsoever. I got a 1300, back when 1600 was the max. That's a decent score, more than enough to get me into the college I desired. Am I good test taker in general? Yes, but had I stayed up every night studying the dictionary I don't think I would have done much better on the verbal. People put so much emphasis on this test, but unless you're shooting for the top, it's not that big of a deal.
Now, if you ARE having hopes of Harvard, then yes, go for the PSAT. Otherwise, fuck that and go get your belt. That's what you apparently prefer, so go with your gut.

my mom left for an hour so i smoked alone in my room.
i didnt realized it smelled until 30 mins later when i got up to go to the bathroom. i sprayed deodarent and went into bed. just as i was shuttign my light off my mom came home. she came in my room and i was fake sleeping. she asked my why it smelled so i told her i sprayed deodarent bc i didnt shower. (bc i just got a haircut) and she didtn believe me. shes like i know it smells like marijuana.
i denied it and kicked her out. she left and i havnt left my room since. it is 11:30 am and i am so scared to leave my room and face her. what do i do? i already denied it and i dont want to come clean to her because this is the fourth time she caught me!!!! yes i know im an idiot and stupid so spare me the repremanding comments. please just help me out or tell me what to do! my mom thinks weed is like heroin. im scared to even look at her because shell say somehting to me.
I like PurdyBurdy's answer cause it's really dumb. It basically said "tell the truth to your mother, then lie to her, otherwise she won't trust you."
STOP SMOKING AT HOME. I've never smoked weed and even I know the basics. You must have a friend somewhere that smokes and doesn't live with their parents. Go over there! Go to an unpopulated area and smoke outside! And easiest of all, don't wear the same clothing you just smoked in. My dad used to try and get away with smoking outside and then denying it. Non-smokers can smell you. Axe spray and incense is not enough.
If this is case #4, she's not gonna trust you for a long time. Stop smoking, period, for a while. It's 1000 times harder to hide when they are suspicious.

is it bad to write my college essay on how i got caught with weed?
What most students don't tend to realize is that college is full of adults. Professors realize this, and are more lenient on controversial topics than high school teachers are. I used the word "fucking" in an essay once because it was a direct quote from the source I was using, and I didn't feel right to censor it. My professor had me read the paper aloud and it insisted that I did not censor it, telling me that using the word really brought the point home.
Point being, if you can use this subject and create a mature paper, I highly doubt you will be docked points for your choice of subject.

Well, I decided to wash the bathroom rug last night. I put it in the washing machine because I figured that would get all that nasty grime out of there. Now the water in the washing machine won't come out because the bottom, rubbery part of the rug is stuck in the machine somewhere. I've looked in the machine everywhere but I can't find that rubbery white bottom from the rug! The water just sits in the tub though and I'm afraid I've broken this washing machine for good! My mom bought the washer back in 1996 and it's worked so well every since.
I've washed the bathroom rug in the washer many times now and have never had problems with it before. I just need to know how to get the rubber stuff out, I guess, or should I start saving up to buy a new washing machine?
Most likely, it's clogging the drain hose. There are 4 things that should be coming out of the back of your washer: two hoses for hot and cold water, the plug, and the drain hose. On most older models, the drain hose may not be disconnected from the washer so easily. If it is only connected by a round piece of metal that can be opened with a pair of pliers, like most front-load models today, you can pull the hose off and examine it. Most likely, you'll see the bottom of the rug sticking out of it and you can just pull it out. Make sure you have a bucket to catch all the excess water.
If you can't see the rug piece, lay the hose flat on the ground. Put a flashlight or another light source on one end, and look through the other. If you can see through it completely, the clog is inside the washer and you need a real technician. If you can't, the clog is inside the hose. It's probably wide enough to use a broom handle or something similar to unclog it.
If you can't disconnect the hose from the washer, you probaly need a real technician. It'd be far cheaper to fix it rather than buying a new machine, provided you don't think the machine is likely to go out soon anyway.

For my Sociology class we have to break a social norm. For example: wearing fake super long fingernails, or dying your hair.. etc.. I have to do this for 5 days. Can anyone come up with some really creative ideas!? :D thanks! Oh and btw im a girl, so keep that in mind as well!
The thing I ended up doing when I took that class was eating all food with no utensils, whether at home, in a restaurant, etc. Go to an Italian restaurant, order spaghetti, then dig in with your hands and enjoy. Your server and fellow diners will be mortified, but what can they really do or say? "Umm, ma'am, here's a fork..." "NO THANKS MOAR WATER PLZ"
It was great fun seeing the reactions of others.

I have a nine month old daughter and i'm 19. I am married to the father of my baby. When we got married 11 months ago i told him that i wouldn't marry him unless he stopped smoking weed. since then, he has stopped and has done many good things, such as get his GED and be a great dad and show a desire to go to school. recently however he told me that he didn't see a problem with it, and that it wouldn't hurt anything if he smoked weed 4 times a month. I told him that it would hurt me, and he said well if you don't love me enough to let me do it then i guess we can't be together. I need to know if I am being too strict and i just need to deal with it, or if I do need to leave him. Please help me.
I saw the phrase "if you don't love me enough to let me do it then I guess we can't be together."
He's a fuckin douchebag. He's putting this drug in a higher priority than his relationship with you or his daughter. Regardless of yours or his feelings about the effects of the drug, it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't need to be around your daughter.
My guess is, he's finding a way to smoke behind your back anyway, and just wants to be able to do it with your permission as well. If he's not able to overcome a drug that's not even addictive, there's probably not much hope for you guys.
Give him an ultimatum. If his response is hostile and he threatens to leave, call him on his bluff. If he leaves, you're better off.

For 15 years I was a happily married homemaker with a wonderful husband. "Duncan" and I attended church together, frolicked through the fields, even exterminated rodents together. He was my best friend. It was bliss.
Last year I found out my father had had an affair with Duncan's mother the year I was born, which makes him my half-brother! The news was too much for my husband. He had a fatal heart attack not long after.
What should I put on his gravestone -- "Loving Brother" or "Loving Husband"?
Obviously you need to acknowledge both. Something along the lines of "Loving Husbather" or "Loving Brosand". Or, choose one and only refer to the other. "To my brother, the best lay I ever had." "To my husband, who never let blood relation get in the way of a good roll in the hay." Yeah, that last one. It rhymes, and it gets the point across.

why do ppl say not to room with a friend?
I'll answer with a personal example. I'd been friends with D since 8th grade. No, that's not a nickname to protect his identity, his name was Daniel and we all called him D. He lived two blocks down and we were typically both at either house at the same time, so much that when either of us said the word "mom" we had to specify which of our mothers we were referring to. In the second semester of my freshman year of college, I decided to move out of my parents' house. They had me paying so many bills under the ruse that "you live here too, pay your fair share" that I calculated I could live in an apartment and pay the same. So why wouldn't I?
My girlfriend and I had been together long enough and had stayed at each other's places enough times we felt safe moving in together, but we needed a third party to split the rent more. We chose D. We got a 2 bedroom apartment, split the cost of everything 3 ways, divided up the chores evenly, and et cetera et cetera.
At first, everything was great. We all did our chores without having to be constantly reminded. Living in the same place as my best friend had a lot of potential for gaming nights and movie nights. We played the same online games together as well. But as time went on, he got lazier and lazier. He paid his third of the amenities, but lacked on his third of the chores. Honestly, the only real chore he had to do was wash dishes. They piled up to the ceiling before we could convince him to do them. All he wanted to do was sit in his room, play games, and smoke inside. We weren't smokers, and we didn't appreciate him doing in his room. That smell permeated the rest of the place.
When he moved out, we were ecstatic. However, we really haven't spoken since that time. That was almost four years ago. The moral is, you don't know what kind of person someone is until you live with them. I honestly never expected any problems, but he became unbearable. Everyone has a story about an asshole roommate, but it's a lot better if it's not a friend.

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't believe in tittles? Like as in boyfriend or girlfriend
Put simply, it means "I want to put my penis inside of you, but I don't want to be associated with you, so that I may place my penis inside of others too."
It's an age-old guy thing. There has never been an innocent way to use it.

do you find people to really be any different under the influence of alcohol from personal experience? (maybe it depends on amt consumed)
Well, people really don't become any different when they are drunk. Basically, the filter between brain to mouth crumbles, and they say things they may not normally say. These things they say do not come out of thin air. A man may tell his girlfriend he's tired of her shit and wants her to move out. You can accredit his brutal honesty to his inebriation, but he's most likely felt that way for a while, and never felt comfortable saying it while sober.
A drunk person may become more sociable, talkative, flirty, angry, physical, philosophical, reserved, depresssed, adventurous, suicidal, destructive, brave...any number of things. Personally, I become more talkative, which is hilarious because I lose the ability to form coherent sentences.
In short, people do not become someone else entirely under the influence. Typically, what lies beneath the surface tends to rise and shine.

hey this is the same girl with the lifeguarding question:
i just wanted to add, on his last day working i said something like, "this is my last day working with you and then i don't see you for a year!" and then he answered, "thank god!"
also, the last time i saw him he told me not to be the "village bicycle" and then he walked away! it just seems so insensitive/an assholeish thing to do to me if he liked me! wouldn't he have been just a little bit affectionate since he wouldn't see me for awhile? especially since i gave him a hug i would expect him to hug back...sorry it's just difficult to fathom it all.
Sounds like a "if I can't have you, fuck you" kind of thing. Be glad this guy is taking off. He'll only complicate things and confuse you. Move on.

i am lifeguarding this summer and this guy jake who is 18 and my manager keeps teasing me. i always thought he kind of liked me because my first day of working he would do almost ANYTHING to get my attention. he started teasing me about little things (ewww gross what is that you are eating?) but now it's gotten a lot worse (i heard you gave tim a blow job!) he also orders me to do stuff and clean things and says i'm "whipped" aka his bitch. He also asks me if i'm a virgin (which i told him i am) and if i think he's hot and asks things like, "would you rather have sex with matt or me?" now other guys who i work with start teasing me, nothing as intense as that but still bad like, "i heard you had sex with josh!" or other things. this girl i work with says for me to not listen to him or other guys and that they just want to get reactions out of me. i'm not fat and i'm definitely not ugly so i don't see why they are doing this! jake doesn't act like this with any other girls (even girls he likes) so WHY is he doing this to me?
also on rare occasions he actually talks to me and tells me personal stuff (haha like how many kids he wants...what he is doing the next day...how it bothers him when he hangs out with some girls they don't put forth an effort to look good and don't wear makeup because they see him as a friend and only that) and is nice to me but what is up with the random mood swings??
another thing that has happened is i asked to take off of work and he demanded why and then i told him i was going on a date with this guy and he kept asking who and i finally told him. the date wasn't for a few days but he kept asking "how was your date?" everytime i walked in.
p.s. he left for college today and i was like "bye, jake have fun in college!" and gave him a hug and he didn't hug back he just left his arms open and was like "AHHHH!" (like in disgust) and then as i was walking up to the stand he said, "BYE KELLY!"
he came in later that day and saw me sitting on this guy's lap who was really into me and he was yelled at me "you whore!" (the whole time i was mouthing "help" because i really was not interested in the guy at all and wanted to get away from him) i explained this to him later and another guard was listening and said, "she's your girl why don't you do something about it?" this same guard earlier today told me "i bet in college he is going to find someone just like you to yell at and mess with!" i am sooo confused with what he thinks about me, and why he and other guys mess with me! advice please?
From what I can tell, the guy likes you but he's a fucking idiot. He's got too high of an ego, and some serious jealousy issues. Basically, he thinks he already has you, and will react as such when in a situation such as when he saw you on that guy's lap. On the other hand, he can sometimes tell he's being aggressive, and will back off and try to be more passive. This is what seems like a mood swing. Being aggressive is his nature. He'll see that it is not working, and will switch gears...but, he's switch back because that's just who he is. Does that make sense? It kinda did in my head.
In other words, he's immature and does not know how to express his feelings towards you. Even in a better situation where he would not be leaving for college, I would advise against dating him. His jealousy and possible dominance issues would be too big an issue. If he comes back and seems to have grown up, then maybe.
