I give out the most logical answers to those who seek answers to their question. I give my e-mail, AIM sn and ICQ # for those who have questions they'd rather not share with everyone who looks at this site. I also enjoy joking around. I feel if a situation is dire, a little humour is medicinal. Even if you're stuck in a serious dilemma, a little laugh to take your mind off is good for you. Enjoy my humour.

P.S.- I may not have a favourite category, but certain questions I will not get involved in due to stupidity, or the fact that some would not like my answers because I say what is moral and right, not what society views as okay.
P.P.S.- I would like some non-relationship questions to come my way, I do welcome them, but a little change would be nice. No one hold back a question, but anyone with a non-love-life question please send it to me. I mean, I know I'm not really a gardener or musician or etc., but anything'll do.

I have been an athiest for about four years, and I have begun to feel lacking in that area. I looked up many differnt religions, and took trusted belief tests to see what would best fit with what I really want and believe. The tests all pointed to Pagan. I have looked up on it, and it just seems to fit. I feel so happy, even just going through a normal day is better now that I have found it. However, I do not think my parents (catholic and athiest) will accept it. Anyone who has had a similar "coming out" (be it of religion or sexual orientation) care to help me form a plan, so they might see my view?

I'm a tad intersted in what these 'tests' are. I really can't see why you should be so worried about how your parents feel. If you truly believe in this you shouldn't let them try to make you believe somehting else. However I want to know what these tests are. Just so I can be sure you're aren't doing something stupid.


I think my big toe is interesting. I know that's weird, but I can't help staring at it. What should I do?! (link)
I fail to see where you need advice on this issue? So you have a little quirk, why bother me with it? No one cares, you shouldn't either.


My parents smoke pot and I've always known that but I have been taught in school that POT IS BAD. I want them to stop but I'm afraid to tell them. Is it really that bad?
~gir with pothead parents~ (link)
Marijuana is bad, granted, quite bad indeed, but people seem to have misconceptions about how bad. I won't get into it now, it will destroy your life (not in the sense some people think of it), and just talking to your parents is not necessarily going to work. They'll need rehab and counselling etc., depending how addicted they are. Start by talking with them, but they could be more dependant on marijuana than that.


Which do you think is better?

1)



The Moon

The moon whispers nightly prayers
before the sun awakes to overflow the day with light

The moon is the stars storyteller and
sings a lullaby to bring all children to a slumber

It witnesses all night activity
as a sliver of silver in the sky

The moon brings restless animals
to their hunting hour and
see all lowering their sleepy eyelids.

It's hard to choose, I really like both, but I'd probably go with he first poem, although I cannot rightly say why, just something about it.


Polar bears are attacking! What do I do? What do I do? (link)
All I can give you is this wise Elbonian proverb:
'In a race between a rock and a pig; don't butter your clams.'
I'd say this is a waste of my space, why did you ask this stupid thing?


I know this sounds weird, but my gf wants to have sex. I don't think I'm ready with because it's only been 2 weeks. She says she has be horny for the past couple of weeks. What do I do????Im 23.She's 22


Confused!!!!! (link)
If you aren't ready don't do it. I believe you should wait until after marriage, but people don't like to listen to me. Tell her you don't feel ready, you two definitely need more time to work on your relationship and get to know each other much better. It doesn't matter how horny she is it's wrong if you don't feel you're ready and you really like her. You need to be sure you feel comfortable and that you actually care for her. Of course, I'd say wait until marriage, but as bad as premarrital sex is it doens't make you Satan, so I'm not going to go off on a big tangent about it. Don't let her force you into doing it though, you shouldn't EVER have sex if you aren't ready and if you don't really care about her.


Hey I am guy who falls in love too easily. But this time I know I like this girl a lot. But the problem is this other girl likes me a lot too. What should I do???
Ps. I'm 14.
your friend

Shawn P. (link)
Sadly, there's no logical solution in which this 'other girl' won't be hurt in some way. All you can do is tell her how you feel about that girl. If you like her, be with her. You cannot be with the other girl just because she likes you. If you don't like her, you can't lie to her. Follow your heart. She'll be hurt, I know, but she'll get over it.


please will any girl that is 13 or less call me

p.s you must be hott (link)
I'll start with the 'you're not a pedophile' situation. Why does a 13 year old boy need a hot (misspelled) girl to call him. Because he's a perverted moron.
If you're a good deal older than 13 I'll probably have to kick your sick ass... so I'd say either way you're wrong.


how do i get a girl friend (link)
Simple. First become her friend. This usually works when you aren't a stupid idiotic pervert like most men are. Look for someone you have common interests with, and use those to start a friendship and build on that until you think you want to ask her out. Or do the stupid thing: ask a random attractive girl out, be together for a week and break up because you're both stupid. I reccomend the first way. You really need to spend a whole lot of time with the whole friendship thing, but you need to start with some common interest and build up a relationship.


hey im 20 and i need a girl friend anyone (link)
No one needs a girlfriend, looks aren't everything, and stop being stupid.


im 13 and my penis is like 2 to 3 inches is that about right for my age
(link)
I'd say you shouldn't be measuring and why the crap do you care? You shouldn't, you're 13, and if you continue with this perverted mind-set you'll screw your life over. Don't make me come over there.


I have a boyfriend that i love alot but he hits me.But he say he sorry and he won't do it again but he keeps doing it. He said if I leave him then he will kill me.I'm so scared that he's telling the truth .He's already put me in the hospital 2 times I don't know what to do.So I need help ASAP if anyone can help me please.My life is on the line!

Love Apple (link)
Call the police, or go to your parents, or ANYTHING to get away. Your boyfriend needs help, and you can't be with him unless he gets better. Right now you need to leave him. I would suggest calling someone so he can get help, you cannot COMPLETELY abondon him, though it may be necessary. Even if he does love you he cannot stop, and you need to get away. Stay with a friend or relative, and I'd say call the police or someone to deal with this. And do it quickly, too.


I have a boyfriend that i've been going out with for almost 3 months now, and he is slowly making him way to making me feel comfortable with him "sexualy". I love my boyfriend, and i would hate to lose him, and I want to but I was taught to wait until you have sex. What should I do? (link)
You're right, you shouldn't have sex until you're married. I understand it may be hard to resist the temptation, but the moral, logical, intelligent thing to do is to wait. I'm sure he'll understand. If he doesn't he's an idiot anyway. The world needs people with principles, look at society today. Shot down the crapper, eh? Why, too many people forego morality and intelligence. And I seem to have babbled a lot. Farewell for now, and please heed my advice.


I have ran away and im typing this on a computer in a cafe in Oregon. (im from california) Im pretty fucked up right now, im 13, and ive been gone for 2 weeks. What the hell should i do? I was mad at the time i ran away and if i go back im fucked. I'm trying to reach canada... what should i do... should i go back or keep moving? (link)
Be totally honest, did you really believe anyone would tell you to keep running? You're just a stupid teenager (no, not stupid as in you're an idiot, as in you're a teenager who makes stupid decisions based on over-dramatic emotions). So you were angry, big ****ing deal. Five bucks says it wasn't any real problem. If it was, fix it. You're not going to make it to Canada. You're screwed over enough as it is, and your parents are probably worried-as-hell about you. Go back, another fiver says the miss you. There's nothing to be so angry about as to run away. You should've thought more about this, anyway. You're totally screwed over for the rest of your likely much shorter life is you keep running. Go back. I implore you to return home.


i have a boyfriend but he dont give it up to my satisfaction but there is this other guy and he is so georgous i mean drop dead georgous he has a girlfriend but she is a flake she is my boyfriend's daughter got it so far ok i would love nothing more than to have a fling with the mr drop dead georgous one i no i probably should not but i can hardly contain myself when he is around which is often my current relationship is not going anywhere in the sex department i dont think the drop dead guy has an interest in me at all how can i let him know that if he wants to have a fling it is ok maybe some of you are thinking this is wrong but if it wrong i dont wanna be right (link)
Looks and sex are least important in a relationship. My advice, break up with your boyfriend, you don't seem to give a **** about him. Then, completely forget about the other guy, he has a girlfriend. If you think with such a lack of morals or intelligence you're simply going to ruin your life. I've heard enough stories like these (some much worse, I assure you) and I'm sick of them. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!! So you don't wanna be right? I don't give a crap, it's not about wanting something, it's about making the right bloody decision. If I were you (and this goes for if you TRULY CARE for your boyfriend), I'd talk to your boyfriend about it.


i recently have been excommunicated out of a great church due to not following their rules i was happy there part of me wants it back but part of me wants to live the way i want to live how do i get it all to mesh together so i can be happy all the time i loved the church i really still do i miss it all what should i do if you need more details please let me know but i warn you it is long well if anyone can help let me know (link)
It does seem like you may need to find another Church, though I will need to know why you were excommunicated before I can make a decision.


My friend and I have been "friends" for about 4 years now but ever since the beginning, I've wanted to become more than just friends. Last summer I told him that I did like him in that way and I wished that we could become more than just friends and see what happens but he said that he didn't know me well enough. I've been trying to go everywhere I can with him and see him as often as possible because I DO want to get to know him better... last weekend (for the first time) he started hitting on me which kinda made me happy... ^^;; but after the weekend was over, he called me and said to forget the whole thing because he was just fooling around. I was totally crushed because he KNEW that i liked him... I don't know what to do any more. Should I move on? Four years is a pretty long time and we're both going to college in 2 years... is it too late to try and start a relationship? (link)
It's never too late to start a relationship, ever. If you're so comitted make a long distance relationship during college. Never give up so easily. Also, stuff like this happens all the time. You might not really like him as much as you think, you may just THINK you like him. But then again, I don't know exactly how you feel or what you're thinking blah blah blah.
If he's hitting on you, he probably likes you and doesn't know/want to admit it. I hit on my current girlfriend back when we were just friends (she wanted to be more) and then denied I meant anything. Later I realized I really cared for her.
So if you truly like him, it's not too late, long distance relationships DO work, and he likely likes you. Just keep trying (without being pushy, weird, looking desperate, etc.).


Fe aruto zao.
(I love you) (link)
Everybody does. Except the morons. But I have a tendency to yell at them. I threw I pen at one once. It wasn't intended to hit, much less hit a vein. Whoops. I love you too.


Is there a site or downloader I can download music but not have to pay to download it or get caught? There are so many songs I want but I won't download just to be careful. (link)
Drink [shivers with the fear of absolute evil from the darkest pits of hell]... Pep...si. Ugh, it's too almost horrible to think about, but that free iTunes thing is awesome.


My husband and I are in a dissagreement about this one. I think that there are a lot of phonies out there passing themselves off as psychics, but that are actually a few that are for real. But I don't know which ones. My husband thinks all psychics are phonies, and nobody could possibly have these abilities. He is very cynical and closed-minded, in my opinion, but he thinks I am gulible. I was watching this talk show the other day with psychic Sylvia Browne, and she was picking people out of the audience and describing their dead relatives and friends, and even explaining things about them that she couldn't possibly know. I saw people nodding their heads, and looking amazed and relieved to finally know what happened to their loved ones. Are all these people paid actors? I belive it was the Montel Williams show. He seems pretty decent out of all the talk show hosts, and they seemed like just regular people. They gave her very little info to go on. If this is fake, how is it done? If anybody has had an experience with a psychic, please tell me about it. Thanks! (link)
The idea of psychic powers is to simplify: horribly complex. Sherlock Holmes, I shall start with, was based on a real character who could tell almost everything that had ever happened to a person simply from looking at him. How? Studying every acute detail. Facial expression, clothing (colours, position, and generally what the attire is), attitude, etc. Some pyschics may appear real using this. Also, let's keep in mind stupid people exist. Pysichs and often weirdos who make one good guess and convince themselves they're really psychic. And notice how psychic always try to not predict the future, and when they do it's false, and how if they're REALLY psychic they should already know your credit card number, right? The truth is all 'professional' 'pyschics' are phonies. Yet there is the whole 'mass consciousness' theory, along with details of brain wave patterns, and tons more other stuff not worth getting into now. There is also the fact that psychics just make general (often lousy) assumptions about people and hope they can then spread GENERAL lies about the future. Nothing specific. Oh, and to save time and space, those people who say they can talk to dead people are such big liars.
