Ok. Well I met this guy online about 7 months ago-We've been talking ever since the night we met. The thing is he lives in Tennesee and I live in Alabama. We met in a chatroom. I kinda like him and vice versa with him. I would go out with him but I would feel very stupid becuase I don't need an internet relationship. We could see eachother sometime because he travels with his family to auburn to watch their football games and I go with my father. I'm so confused and I have no earthly idea what to do.
Signed,

Hello there,
I like this:
"I would feel very stupid because I don't need an internet relationship."
... Well count me as a stupid person then. My wife and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary in March. We met on-line in 1996, and were married about 3 months later.
You know right this very minute if this guy is for you. You can feel it in your heart, I am sure.
If the guy is just a fling, cut it off.
If the guy is right, then go for it. You only get one happily ever after.
I got mine,
DangerNerd.
P.S. She is on here as DangerWench

Hello there,
Please keep us all posted. You can e-mail me anytime at: dangernerd@gmail.com
We are praying for him, and that's all we can do.
Internal injuries are always serious, but you simply would not believe what the human body can pull through and be ok.
Now, I would like to thank you. Thank you for being the "mother hen." Had you not taken the teasing they gave you, your sister would be right there with him in the hospital. It is likely because of you that she thought twice about doing something that dumb.
Our prayers are with him,
DangerNerd.
Yahweh(God)will work it out.

I'm trying to do a report on the foster care system. I've heard some aweful things about it and I've heard some wonderful things about it. I've already got the researched facts on the system and what the states have to say about but I'm looking for people's opinions on it. If anyone has any stories or opinions on the foster care system that would be a lot of help. Please share your thoughts. As I said I've heard some horrible things about the system and I'm hoping that my report will bring about some changes. So does anyone have any thoughts, opinions, ideas, stories, etc. about the foster care system in your state or any state or just in general? Thank you so much for your help. I will rate 5's.

Howdy Mike,
I was taken away from home when I was eight years old for "abuse" that never happened.
I got in a fight after school, and they simply would not listen at school the next day. They insisted that my Dad did it.
My parents thought we lived in America, home of the brave, land of the free, so they went the court route.
At the first hearing, the lawyer my dad hired said that for $50,000(1978 dollars) they could have me back for breakfast in the morning.
My Dad was SHOCKED! An hour later he walked into the courtroom and told the family services judge what the lawyer said, and demanded he be arrested.
They never saw me even for a second in the next six months.
The lawyer of course denied it, and one can only assume that the judge was to be the owner of some of the suggested bribe as well.
I was then placed in a group home, and then another, and then a foster home with a 70 year old woman who drank herself to sleep every day lying on the couch listening to Lawerence Welk records.
Another group home.
Relatives... Bad... Better in the group home.
This was followed by another group home where I was almost killed. (Beaten near to death.)
Then perhaps the one honest social worker on earth found my case. A woman named Janet Hills.
She made my return to my family possible and layed it on the line for my parents:
CPS is a money grubbing profit wonder. "You will not get your child back until you no longer have the ability to pay the monthlies."
If you didn't know: The state doesn't pay for the child's "care" if the parents are working.
The parents pay every month for their child who, in this case, was being held hostage.
In the end, my parents business folded, they lost the house and equipment and ended up in an apartment.
Then, from hillcrest receiving home in Hillcrest, CA I was shown the door. A 12 year old boy was put out on the street without a word to his parents who were 20 miles away.
My dad didn't believe Janet. But as soon as the money ran out, they chucked me right out the door.
There is a great deal more to tell, but I don't think I will here and now.
DangerNerd.
P.S. They said that my dad beat me in a rage and tried to kill me. He is an Army Ranger Pathfinder formerly attached to the 101st Airborne division. If he would have beat me in a rage, I would be well and truly dead. There was no basis in fact for any of it, and $50,000 would have saved 3 years of our lives and everything we owned. My Dad just wouldn't believe the system was that corrupt, top to bottom... He believes now.

this summer my parent told me that we weren't going anywhere for summer because they didn't want to then they told me that just my mom and dad were going to chicago for a week and i have to babysit my brothers grandparents and my dog! and now i cant even hang out with my frinds because they have to work and i wasnt even allowed to go see a concert of my favorite band because they didn't want to now i got upset after hiding all this in me and and my dad has the nerve to say "becca its not all about you" i was soooooo pissed.

Hello Becca,
Is it possible that your parents need some time to themselves? Just wondering when the last time they got to be "just them" for awhile was?
You know, people sometimes need things for themselves. You sound like you would like some things for yourself... So why not let them have this ONCE to themselves if they need it in order to stay married and happy?
Think about it... If they came back happy, it will only make your life better, no?
How did I get this idea? Well two things:
Generally in my experience, when someone says "it's not all about you..." what they are really saying is: "It is about us. We need this." Rather than feeling like you are being slighted somehow, try to see it from their point of view. If you make an issue of this and they don't get the alone time they need, you could be choosing which parent to live with if you get my drift.
I always felt like my parents were in my business all the time... Then lately I realized that my parents didn't even get to have any business after I came along. I was their life.
Reason two:
My parents never left me behind, and it was very rough on them. I always wished they had taken some time for themselves but they never did. It was very sad. Now that I think back, it just seems like I was being selfish even though I didn't know it at the time. Wish I could go back in time... :-( I would buy them the tickets to Chicago myself if I could.
I hope you make the right call on this one, I wish I had.
DangerNerd.
P.S. My parents are still married, but it might be better if they weren't. They aren't very happy.

Does your child have to be a certain age to let them stay home alone for about 2-3 days? Just wondering because me and my husband's 25th year anniversary is comming up and I want to get out of town for a few days just the two of us. I was wondering if it is legal for me to allow my 14 year old to stay home alone for a few nights. (link)
|
There is legal, and then there is wise... ;-)
This really depends on your child. Are they good in the kitchen? Self sufficient?
If they depend on you for every little thing and are too lazy to get their own socks out, then you can be sure disaster would ensue.
Me, I was really quite capable at 14. I would have been lonely, but I could have managed a month by myself. :-)
Some kids I grew up with couldn't manage a single meal on there own until they were 20-something. :-(
In my opinion, if you can arrange a sleep-over with another person you trust (best friend for example) it would be better. Your child will also probably enjoy it more that way. Home alone only seems fun until you have tried it for awhile... ;-)
Here are a few references that may make your decision easier:
http://www.yourfamilyshealth.com/kids_health/latch_key_kids/
...that one specifically cites some applicable Texas state law.
This IS the Texas law:

this kid IM-ed me and said bad stuff to me. is there any way i can find out who it is..maybe by finding out his address or something? if there isn't, that's fine but if you know anything, please tell me. thanks! (link)
|
Hello there,
Yes and no. If you are VERY computer savvy I can tell you how to discover his IP address, but you will have to get him to talk to you again while running a special program called a packet sniffer.
The best way to handle it: If he said something like: "I am going to kill you!" or "I'll put a bomb in your locker" something like that, just take note of his screen name, go into the chat history, copy and paste the chat into a text file, and turn this over to the local police INSISTING that they DO something.
This falls under federal and local laws, and there are plenty of reasons to turn him in... Columbine would be a good one. There were lots of signs when these guys flipped out. Nobody took it serious.
Now, on the other hand, if they said something like "You're fat" or "I don't like you" then it is best to blacklist (block) them, and move on with life.
Without knowing which kind of situation it is, that's about the most I can do for you.

*************** I AM NOT A DOCTOR! ***********
I hadn't seen this before I answered the other, so please disregard that.
Now that I read why it hurts here is my advice:
You should DEFINATELY go to the doctor.
It is quite possible you have dislocated your shoulder. It is also possible you have fractured your collarbone (clavicle.)
This is also a possible blood clot injury.
Do NOT move your arm any more than you have to. You may want to tie it up in a sling if you can.
If you haven't told your parents about it yet, you should. That way if you pass out or anything, they will know what is going on.
You MUST SEE A GOOD DOCTOR IMEDIATELY. This is not a joke.
DangerNerd.

hey all i asked a question about my arm before and i don't know what to do about when i try to turn my shoudler hurts and my arm is shaking thanks :( (link)

*************** I AM NOT A DOCTOR! ***********
*************** I AM NOT A DOCTOR! ***********
*************** I AM NOT A DOCTOR! ***********
It could be a number of things, among them:
Dislocated shoulder
Blood clot
Pinched nerve, etc.
Having freshly read about someone dying from a blood clot in the shoulder region, I would waste no time in getting to the doctor.
There have also been cases of people dislocating shoulders just rolling over at night.

i was gonna visit my dad whos in jail but he cancelled my visit i dont know why. any way he rang me after and i asked him he didnt tell me but his coming out in a few months and asked me and my little sister if we wanted to live with him. i wanna but my foster family am telling me he ay changed so i dont know what to do? anyone help. plus i do love my foster family but i wanna live with my dad (link)
|
Hello there,
You could just ask your Dad outright, again, what happened to the visit. He may not want to tell you because he got hurt or in a fight in jail. If he really doesn't want to tell you I am sure there is a pretty good reason, otherwise he would just tell you and it would be no problem.
Get ahold of him and see if you can get another visit with him all set up.
Send him a letter, just to say hello and all. Ask for a visit.
As far as living with him goes, I would have to ask this: What is he in jail for?
Did he hurt you or your sister?
If the answer to the last question is no, then I would be likely to want to live with my dad.
He is in jail. That is a problem. But if this is the only time he has been in jail, it may be the last time.
Everybody makes mistakes, and it doesn't sound like you are mad at him, so you should be able to forgive him for going away.
You could stay with your foster family for a while after he gets out, and you will see if he has changed or not. Think about this idea.
DangerNerd.
P.S. Where is your mom in all of this?

I have a friend named Felicia and she's 16/F...all she likes to talk about is beer, boys, parties, people she hates..i don't know..she tries to act like she's all grown up now or whatever...well this morning i wanted to go for a scooter run with my other friend hannah...she was like, "umm no, that's ok i don't wanna smell like sh*t" so hannah and me went for the scooter run anyway..we had tons of fun! we came in and felicia was like "eeww you guys smell get away from me.." and she avoided us the rest of the night..(but at least we had fun! all she did was stay in and watch court tv with the judges and stuff..grrr..it's like she's trying to impress people by acting that she's not 10 anymore..(this is just an example of how she acts *all that* and *grownup*...trust me, there's tons more! she always acts like she's better than us and i really don't know what to do..please help! (link)
|
Hello there,
I am sorry she treats you like this. When you are a kid, sometimes you wish you weren't.
You think all your problems would be solved if you were grown up... So you act more grown than you are, start doing things you shouldn't and pretty soon your childhood is over.
That is what she's doing. She may be "acting" cool, but you know what? It shows that she has big problems she is trying to overcome by growing up as fast as possible.
Most of the people that post on this site are in the same position. There was a question posted just the other day asking how many of a certain brand of booze they would have to drink to become drunk. Several people answered, and the people who sounded like they had the most experience were an average of 14!
They say that this is what they want out of life, but I just don't buy it. If they can't solve problems now, they will not solve them later.
Things don't get better when you are grown up. Right now you might be sick of your Mom in your business, but, in just a few years, you will miss her, and wish she was in your business again.
I know, I know, you don't believe me. Talk to me again when you are 35. I am 6'4" tall weigh in at 350 pounds, look like the entire defensive line of a football team, ride Harleys, have 19+ years in a disciplined martial art and I will tell you right now that I miss my Mommy.
You will discover that there are about 10,000 new problems that are just WAITING for you to grow up so that they can apply to you.
Here's my advice: Be yourself. PLAY! Nobody plays anymore it seems. Take your scooter out with your other friends. Goof around. Play games, do whatever.
While she may yell at you, here's why she is doing it:
She sees that you aren't bothered by the problems she is trying to overcome by acting grown up. She thinks you are dumb for not acting like her... However:
She wishes she was you. That she could just go and play and have fun like you.
Something happened to her, and she doesn't know how to deal with it, so she is doing what she is doing.
Be yourself and maybe she will come around, maybe she won't. Either way she isn't being much of a friend right now. Be nice to her, and continue to invite her to play. Maybe someday she will wake up and realize she should play while she can. :-)

ok so here is the deal everyone knows i am Bisexual like everyone at my school knows. and i knew i was gunna get crap from people. But it has gone to far people are startin to make fun of me like way more and it gets more intense everyday. Not to mention people make fun of me because i watch wierd movies like "Hook" or "Aladdin" I mean sure i am male. but still why does it give people the right to say mean stuff i am also colored and people are being racial talking to adults doesn't help very much. what can they do. and i am out of ideas ignoring them doesn't help.
I know that being Bisexual is bad and i am trying to be straight and i am gettin close to just likeing females. and it seems that god isn't here for me i pray everynight hoping for a better life. and for god to send somone to know who i am. al i need is a friend. my dad lives in switzerland. and i never get to see him only in the summer. and it feels like my life is going down hill. my dog died we had to put him down. that still gives me tears. and all my friends seem to be going against me. because of rumors going around that i am dishonest. and what not i only have 2 friends. and i just don't know what to do it seems like i have run out of options.
can you help me like to find someway to get noy only my mind off but at least pray for me.
thnx a bunch

Howdy Monn,
I will start by saying this: Hook is an excellent movie. Robin williams was incredible in Aladdin. Have you considered that you just might be a Robin Williams fan? There isn't the slightest thing wrong with a man liking either of those. The whole men like only these things, and none of those idea is probably largely responsible for the problem.
Try out for the football team... Then tell them you like showtunes, suddenly you'll find yourself a male cheerleader instead of a star fullback. It is not fair, and it is not of God. What people at school have to say is irrelevant in the long run. What God has to say is important always.
I don't, even once, remember something in the Bible that would preclude singing Oklahoma in the shower.
Our society persecutes innocence. "If you aren't interested in girls at 14, you are queer!" Pardon me, but that is not true.
How much better off would we be socially, if only people who were ready for sex had sex?
Think about it. Better yet, read this board everyday and wonder why it isn't called www.sluts-by-13.com!
The happiest people I know are NOT the ones having the most sex. Generally the most miserable heartbroken wrecks are the most "experienced."
If you believe in Christ as your Lord and saviour, you will always feel as you do now, until you make a change. Your concscience is a wonderful thing in that it lets you know when you are in need of changing things in your life.
I can tell you one thing for sure: there are different kinds of prayer. If you are sincere about this, when any temptation strikes you, get on your face before God and ask for help.
It doesn't matter if it is a piece of cake when you are dieting or a lust that you know in your heart is wrong... When you are face down on the floor praying, everything else goes away.
Try it and see.

Good morning-
I have been working at a job I am happy with for 9 months, but my supervisor feels I demean her in front of her boss, especially during meetings. We are all asked for our opinions on what we feel might go wrong with a particular project my boss is in charge of (which has been behind on it's implementation), but I know that in the end the problems I currently see will be resolved. I give honest answers in these meetings (in front of the VP), but she feels I volunteer too much information on the problems we currently face in front of him and this embarasses her. There are bugs with the system, and we have several weeks to correct them. I have been told I have embarrased her twice before in meetings regarding this project, and I just want my questions answered, for I am the one responsible for the outcome once the project is complete and implemented. She feels since I question her in front of the boss, I am belittling her and she tells me I am out of line. She has held me accountable for this once in front of other associates not in my department, and once in a sit down meeting that I instigated because of the first incident. My review is due in less than 2 months, and am TERRIFIED I am going to get a bad review just because I am trying to get a better comfort level here. This position is close to home, pays very well, but I have to work some long hours due to this project implementation. The bottom line is that I don't want to leave and want to work things out. I get support from one other person on my team, who is not her supervisor. He doesn't feel I'm doing anything wrong, but I need to have an outsider's opinion before I go crazy. I am hoping that someone can assist me, for I feel that if I don't get a better handle on things with my own approach and attitude that I either will be fired or will want to leave (which is where I feel I am at right now). Thank you in advance for your assistance. (link)

Howdy Liz,
I would like to share with you something that will fix this once and for all.
Find and read a copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which was written by Dale Carnegie
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0671723650/103-6684159-1090226?v=glance
... If you read this once a year for the rest of your life, you will likely get something out of it you didn't the last time.
Contrary to most people, I would encourage you to get and read the new version, but ALSO the original. Written in 1937, the companies cited, in many cases, have long since vanished. Other than obscure references to days gone by, I believe that the spirit of the lesson is better presented in the original.
I know this is also available in audio book format if you are crunched for time.
What you will learn will change your life forever.
If you have decided to play the corporate game, and you haven't read this book, you will lose to someone who has, time and time again.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the lesson within: dangernerd@gmail.com

the mouse on my laptop broke, the one where you use your finger to move.. and it wont move at all and this has been happening for the past 2 weeks and everytime the mouse doesnt work, i need to press tab to get everywhere. i tried to plug in a mouse but there are no plugs for the mouse. i heard that all laptops had this but why doesnt this laptop have it? by the way this laptop is from dell and it saysinspiron | 1100 on the top ..can someone help me make the mouse work? (link)

Hello there,
It is unlikely that the part itself is broken unless you spilled liquid on it or smashed it with your hand.
If you do need the part, here is a VERY inexpensive source for the replacement:
http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=257&prevaction=category&previd=29&prevstart=0
... you are still going to have to get someone in a repair shop to change it for you.
Let us assume that the problem is in software for now.
Here is a link to download the synaptics touchpad driver:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/devices.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&SystemID=INS_PNT_CEL_1100&category=17&os=WW1&osl=EN
... oh, and it is called a touchpad, not a mouse. You will just confuse technicians of you use the word mouse as they will think you have an external mouse hooked up to your USB port.
Here is a link to the dell support forum for inspiron pointing device problems:
http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=insp_input&page=3
...from here you should try downloading the driver file from the link provided, then go to start/control panel/add-remove programs and remove the synaptics touchpad driver.
Then run the file you downloaded.
That should do it.
If not, post in the forums.
Also, this may still be under warranty, if so call dell and have them fix you up.
Worst case scenario: It is physically broken and dell will not warranty it.
In this case, order the part from the link above, and find a local technician to install it for you.
Either way, problem solved. :-)
DangerNerd.
P.S. Do you mind if I use your question in my blog?

Hello there,
The tip I have for you is this: You don't learn Aikido without at LEAST a partner. A school would be preferable.
Regarding the advice below: Anybody who learns what Aikido is really about would not show up at someone's place of practice looking for a fight. Aikido is non-agressive. I find ignorance of this kind painful.
Anyway, here are a few places you should look:
http://www.aikidofaq.com/
...use the dojo directory to find a teacher.
http://www.aikiweb.com/
http://vsa.vassar.edu/~aikido/techniques.htm
http://www.aikidoonline.com/
...at the last one here, please read the 20th century Samurai article.
Be sure you want to learn Aikido. It isn't about "kicking someone's ass." It is about having the knowledge that you are capable of defending yourself. You will be VERY good at defending yourself, but will not be skilled in attacking or, rather, starting a fight.
This bit about "...these guys saw the matrix..." well, I can tell you this much, I didn't feel really accomplished in Aikido for about 12 years.
This is not something you learn overnight, and it is more a way of life than anything else.
Good luck,
DangerNerd.

Is there a limit on the amount of keywords one should put in each ad?
Is it best to put ALL your keywords into one ad or do many ads with different categories of related keywords in them?
Advice on maximising CTR on campaigns?
Thanks (link)

I see you caught hell for asking a question that didn't start with: "There's this guy..." ;-)
My personal opinion is to build one ad around one keyword. Example: build one or a thousand ads containing the keyword/phrase: "panic attack" but don't try to work panic attack and anxiety into the same ad.
Just my opinion, but if the ads look like they are just a bunch of keywords, it tells me the person is trying to trick me into clicking something, so I never do.

P.S. Do you mind if I add your question to my blog?
