I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

ok well my friend max is an athiest. he doesnt belive in any kind of god. hes like a science nerd so that probably has something to do with it. well i really want him to belive in God but i dont know how i can talk to him about it. we arent close enough to talk about that stuff. what should i do? (link)

Although you are a Christian, it doesn't mean others should be. I understand if you want your friend to share your beliefs but you just can't force a person to do that, which is why more wars have been fought over religion than anything else.
You can try and explain to him why you believe in God but believe me, any attempts to convert him will merely offend him and will not end happily for either of you. You have to learn to live and let live and allow other people to believe in an alternative God or no God at all, whatever they choose to believe or not believe in. You will have a much happier friendship that way.
Please also try to remember that although religion tries to lead people into being better, that does not mean non-believers cannot be good people or lead good lives. Living without religion does not make someone a bad person, it purely means that they choose not to believe.

Ok so I met this guy last week. He's a regular customer at work, he's very good looking, very nice and he asked me out to dinner.
Here's the problem: I can't understand a word he's saying. It was easy to sell him stuff because he would just buy everything I showed him and if he said anything, I'd judge his facial expressions and words and just laugh or or moan accordingly to what he conveyed.
This is where it gets stupid: He's from the United Kingdom. He speeks English but he just has a thick thick British accent that I can't understand. I had to keep saying "What?" when he asked me out and I feel bad, because it must have been pretty embarrasing for him. Usually, I just blame it on the music on the store but what do I do if he calls me on my cell or we're talking at dinner.
I am totally stumped as to what to do. It's not like I can tell him I can't understand what he's saying, I've had people say that to my parents and it's just insulting.
This thing seems to be doomed? Any ideas on what should I do? They should start giving courses in understanding accents. (link)

I acutally live in the South of England and I must admit, I know how you feel!! I used to work in a call centre and when someone from up North called, I had great difficulty in understanding what they said!!! The truth is, straight forward British accents are easy but each part of Britain has a different dialect (Cockney, Glaswegian, Dorsetshire, etc) and some accents are stronger than others.
You need to explain to him the difficulty you have understanding him. Once it is out in the open, he will understand if you have to ask him to repeat himself a couple of times and he will be able to slow himself down so he can make what he is saying clearer. The more time you spend together, the easier it will become to understand what he is saying, but for now, if you at least tell him there is a problem, he won't be left wondering why you keep looking at him a bit oddly and it will save you the embarrassment of accidentally misunderstanding what he is saying!

I got married young... while I was still in high school. Shannon wasn't pregnant, we just thought we were ready... probably because we both wanted to get away from our parents. We've had it good and we have a few kids now... but I'm not in love with Shannon anymore. I'm in love with one of my best friends, Tonya, who is also now married. I know things between Tonya and I won't work out, but if I'm not in love with Shan anymore, should we get a divorce? Am I just leading her on? Should we get counseling? I'm ready to let go. I'm done. But I don't want to break her heart... and what about the kids? They'll hate me. Please help me! (link)
|
I'm actually going to disagree with the advice given so far, because I personally believe it would be more detrimental to all those involved for you to stay in a loveless marriage.
Let's look at this as a What If scenario. Say you stay married to Shannon, even though you don't love her. Eventually, you will come to resent her because you will feel trapped. You're ready to move on but won't feel able to because of your obligation to her and your children. At 23 and with most of your life still ahead of you, the chances are you will eventually meet a woman you could love and will be lured away by the prospect of real love. At the same time, Shannon will probably be picking up on how you feel and depending on whether or not she feels the same way, you will end up arguing a lot of the time, which will upset both of you and the children.
The way I see it, there is no benefit to staying in a loveless marriage, as it will all be about illusion, deception and will inevitabley lead to a significant amount of resentment on both sides of the relationship. However, if you separate and/or divorce now, you have the opportunity to part on amicable terms. Children will ALWAYS find the transition difficult and I'm not saying your wife will necessarily take the way you are feeling calmly. However, if you part now, you have the opportunity to both go off and find the people you are meant to be with, rather than living a lie. It also means that your children can grow up seeing Mummy and Daddy apart but happy, rather than together and miserable. Also, separating on good terms now, before all the fighting starts means the children have a chance to get used to it as they grow up, rather than dropping it on them when they are old enough for it to have a serious effect on their lives.
I really hope that helps and I'm so sorry things have turned out this way for you. However, I'm sure if you take this leap now, you will find things improve in the future. Good luck to you both.

what are the symptoms of having a yeast imfection. and how do you treat it? (link)
|
The most common symptoms of a yeast infection (also known as Thrush) are as follows:
- Itching/burning sensations inside
- Burning sensation when you to go the loo
- Pain or discomfort during or after sex
- Discharge that produces a yeasty-smelling odour
- Discharge that is of a cottage-cheese like texture and a whitish-grey colour.
It can be caused by anything from poor hygiene to the use of antibiotics, which can destroy good bacteria in the body, as well as bad bacteria, causing a fungal infection such as a yeast infection to occur.
The best thing to do really is to see your doctor to confirm it is a yeast infection and not anything else. However, if you are certain it is a yeast infection, take a trip to your local pharmacy and pick up some medicine. Although you can obtain creams and so on, the best method of treatment is usually an oral capsule, as this ensures all yeast infections are removed from inside your body, which gives it less of a chance to reoccur.
If you don't visit your doctor, do ensure that if your symptoms don't disappear after treatment or if they come back, you speak to someone about this. Problems with the reproductive system should never be ignored.

I'm really scared for my friend, she's going out with a guy who is like WAY older than her! SERIOUSLY OLDER by like, EIGHT or NINE years! well at least that's what she told me she might not REALLY be going out with him, she does lie a lot to get attention, but please i need advice to give 2 her (link)
|
Have you told her how concerned you are about this? If not, you really do need to talk to her about it. If she is not just doing it for attention and she is younger than 16 or 17, this is a cause for concern and you need to talk to her about it. However, that being said, you shouldn't expect that it will necessarily make any difference. If she likes him, she won't take your concerns on board until something happens.
If she is sleeping with this man and she is a minor, stress to her the position she is putting herself in. Unfortunately, other than this, there is precious little you can do. You may feel this age gap is a problem and you may be concerned about what is happening but if she really likes him, nothing you can say will make her stop seeing him. If this is the case, the only thing you can do is tell her you don't feel it is a healthy relationship with such an age gap, so that she knows how you feel and then you will have to be there to help her pick up the pieces when things go wrong. It's a horrible situation to be in but if she is like most people in her position, the more you try to convince her he is unsuitable, the harder she will dig her heels in.

Hello,
Recently, I have been searching for a dog. I definitley want to go to a breeder or an animal shelter. My question: I do not know what breed to get. I am gone for about six hours a day, so I need a dog that can be alone for some time. I plan on giving it extensive obedience training along with classes. I have a medium yard and when I get home I plan on exercising and spending time with it. I am leaning towards a medium sized dog. It is also important that it does not have a long coat, does not shed that much, because I really don't think I can spend that much time grooming it. (I am prepared to do it once a week.) Do any dog owners or dog lovers have any suggestions of breeds? Thanks! (link)
|
A Golden Labrador might be a good option. They are widely known as one of the easiest breeds to train, are very loyal and have shorter fur than their bouncier friends, the Golden Retriever. The downsides are that retrievers do need a lot of exercise and they can get dirty quite quickly if you take them out in rain/mud/on a beach.
Bassett Hounds - Absoloutely beautiful dogs who require quite little exercise due to their short legs. Usually very friendly, very short haired so need little in the way of grooming. However, they can be prone to back problems due to over-breeding through time and although relatively sedate dogs, if you get one that wants to make noise, they have one of the loudest barks I've heard!
Beagle - Relatively small-medium sized dog with short hair. They usually cope quite well with being left alone for a time, as long as you leave plenty of toys to occupy their time and they get out enough when you are there. Because they are small-medium sized dogs, they don't need a massive amount of exercise, although at least one walk a day is always recommended with any dog. They are also very friendly.
Hope that helps with your decision! Personally, I would recommend the Bassett Hound. One of my favourite types of dog and I always wanted to have one named Melville! Don't know why...! Anyways, hope you decide which one you would like.

OK
here's my problem:
I'm one of the youngest cousins on one side of my family and it's getting depressing for me to watch them all leave for college. 2 of them I don't even know! Part of the reason being that I have 10 other cousins besides them and a second cousin. I miss them so much and they don't even know it! I used to like one of my cousins when I was little before I knew he was my cousin, and I'm pretty sure he found out. I don't know what to do because now he might still think I do, but that was 7 years ago, everyone says I should tell him before he leaves for college too, but isn't there an easier way? (link)
|
The best thing as far as the cousin you used to have feelings for go is to not say anything. All kids get little crushes from time to time and then grow out of them. You don't need to explain anything about your past to them because you have nothing to explain. After seven years, I'm sure he will have realised your feelings have changed and I doubt he's worried about this. However, bring it up and it might worry him.
As for missing your cousins, it's always difficult to watch people go off and leave you but why let them leaving be the end of everything? You should try contacting your Aunties and Uncles and getting addresses or telephone numbers for the cousins that are leaving or have left. Write to them letting them know you feel bad for not having made more of an effort to stay in contact and ask them what college is like. Tell them what your life is like. The only reason to truly miss someone is if they are in no way in your life. Once you manage to communicate them, you will have no reason to miss them.

So, I've been friends with this guy for about almost 3 years now and we've been dating almost for 2. I'm really in love with him and I trust him and he's the only one I can turn to knowing he won't let me down. He's always been there for me, except recently he mentioned something that kind of scared me, he said he wanted sex. This really surprised me, we're both virgin and I know that sex should be with someone you trust and love and he feels the same way, but at first we both wanted to wait for marriage. I'm positive 100% he's not only dating me for sex because if he was he would've asked a long time ago, right? Well, I really don't know what to do and we both agreed that we want our relationship to graduate to a higher level and we want to give each other our first time but I don't think I'm ready. Any help would be much appreciated! And thank you in advance! (link)
|
If you really care about him then you need to feel comfortable talking to him about this sort of problem and if talking to him means saying you aren't ready, then so be it.
You say a while ago, you both agreed you wanted to wait for marriage. How does he feel now about that agreement? Would he be prepared to honour that or would he rather have sex now? If what you want doesn't match what he wants any more, then it may be time for you to go your separate ways.
The only think you can do is discuss it with him. Once you know what he wants, that gives you an opportunity to think about what you want. Do you still really want to wait until you are married? Whether you want to or not, it is all moot if you aren't ready and that is something you really do have to explain to him. If he truly does care about you, he won't have a problem waiting until you are ready and if that happens to be sex before marriage, he needs to decide whether he cares about you enough to wait that long or if he would rather have sex before then.

My father in law (who we live with) will not allow anyone else to work on the house. The house needs paint, new carpet, all around remodel. He sits around and discusses all the plans he has for the doing this. But, I kid you not he has projects around this place that he started 20 years ago, and they aren't done. My poor mother in law deserves to have a nice home like any woman who works like she does. I've asked her why doesn't she just hire people to do the work, and she says that will make him mad. The problem perplexes anyone who sees this house. They can't understand why someone would rather have half primered walls carpet that has come up from the floor because the padding is completely worn away, etc. It's so frustrating to know this man and try to explain him to others. What can this family do? Is there a name of for this problem he has? (link)
|
As the last person has said, it sounds as though he wants his house to be his Kingdom and in such typical fashion, insists that he do all the required work to maintain the Kingdom in good condition. I highly suspect your Mother In Law does all the cooking and cleaning?
You can try talking to him about this but I don't believe the chances of success are very high, as I very much expect your Mother In Law has tried talking to him about it previously and if that hasn't worked so far, it's unlikely to do so now.
Your Mother In Law needs to take a stand about this. At the end of the day, his male pride is getting in the way of resolving bigger problems and if the only way to resolve them is to hire someone professional and risk him getting in a state about it, then so be it. Perhaps getting someone in to finish something he started 20 years ago will kick him into gear and make him realise he can't just leave the work and make your Mother In Law suffer as a consequence.
If she doesn't want to go the whole hog and actually hire someone, it might help if she talks to him and tells him the name of someone she has picked out to do the work because she can't stand living on a building site for 20 odd years. Hopefully, this should do the trick. She just needs to be prepared to deal with the consequences. He may well kick up a fuss about it but he WILL come round when he realises what he has put her through. Living under those conditions is more stressful than he seems to realise. Maybe this way, he will realise and finish everything else.

okay well at school and well practically everywere i go i turn red when im talkin to someone like whenever im doin projects i turn red in front of the class and next year im startin another year in highscool and people are gona start callin me like blushy or 'hey its the girl tht turns red ' and laugh and please someone HELP how can i stop turnin red i hate it please help
thank you

My best friend always used to have the same problem until recent years. Any time anyone looked at her, spoke to her or spoke about her near her, she flamed bright red and she was so embarrassed about it!
The thing is, most people with this problem go red because they lack self confidence and therefore always feel shy or embarrassed whenever attention is drawn to them.
Unfortunately, only time and building your self confidence will rid you of this problem, because you need to feel more secure in yourself before the blushing will stop. Remind yourself two or three times a day "People like me. People like to talk to me. I am worth talking to and I cope well being the centre of attention." You will probably feel a little silly saying it at first but make it your mantra and every time you are the centre of attention, take a deep breath and remember the affirmation. Over time, this should make you feel more at ease with the attention and in so doing, should make you blush less.

Me and My husband have been trying to have a baby..For 3 months. Whats the best fertility things we could do..Or whats the easiest way to get pregnant ? Thanks i will rate high! (link)
|
Three months is really a short time in terms of trying for a baby. Most doctors advise that it is not until a period of two years has passed without conceiving that you should start worrying about the possibility you may be having problems. If you were on the Pill, you also need to remember it takes some time to completely get out of your system and get your body kicking itself back into gear.
As for tips on increasing your chances - a major one is relieving stress and learning to relax. Stress plays a massive part in preventing conception so try doing some gentle exercise, making sure you have a blanced, healthy diet and maybe try getting your husband to give you a sensual massage before you make love, to increase your chance of conceiving.
Also try making love every other day. A lot of couples who are trying make love every night to try to increase their chances but a lot of scientists believe you stand a better chance if you limit it to every other day.
Give it at least a year. If you still have not conceived, try speaking to a doctor about it and they can run tests to make sure there are no problems. For now, try not to become so enveloped with the idea of conceiving that you fall into the trap of forgetting to enjoy sex!

hey ok well lately i've been itching down there and i'll get a couple bumps. they are there for a while and then go away and other ones come up later. i'm not really sexually active but my b/f has fingered me a couple times i dunno if that has anything to do with it but just in case. i really need to know if anyone else has had this problem or if anyone has any ideas what it is and if there is a way to treat it...thanks!

Is the itch inside or on the outside? If it is on the inside, it could well be thrush, which can be easily treated with an oral tablet or a cream. If you go to your local pharmacy, they will be able to provide either one of these. Normally thrush is accompanied with a discharge that is yellow in colour and has a yeasty odour.
If it is on the outside, as someone has already said, it could be that your boyfriend has just irritated the skin. If you have had the symptoms for a week or longer, you will need to see your doctor to make sure there is no infection there, as you may need antibiotics.
If you don't think it could be either of these, please bear in mind that if anything changes in your reproductive system anywhere, you should ALWAYS see a doctor about it, just to be on the safe side.

I had all of my money stolen from me and now I'm broke for X-mas. I'm going to manage to save up some money but not enough to buy my friends the wonderful presents I wanted to get them! I need some cheap/creative ideas for presents but I have no idea what anything is and I'm so stressed out the whole process is just giving me a headache! So could anyone please help with some cheap and/or creative ideas (that dont make it LOOK like I'm cheaping out, I mean they're gonna understand that I cant afford much but I still dont want to seem lame)? (link)
|
Oh dear that's terrible!! I'm so sorry.
I have a similar problem with lacking money this year so I'm making some presents too. I've been looking for some ideas and here's some I've found/come up with:
- Baking goodies. Brownies, cakes, biscuits, etc, which you can then make boxes or packages for and decorate the box/package so each person has a special treat of their own.
- A collage of their favourite things/family snapshots/etc. You can usually get large plain photo frames quite cheap. Either find some card to fit or don't use a backdrop and stick in loads of photographs or other pictures to make a collage of things that will make them smile when they look at it.
- If you're good with a PC, you could do the collage idea as a slideshow on Microsoft Powerpoint and put it on a CD. They can view their favourite moments, amusing moments and embarrassing moments, at the click of a button.
- If you have access to a video camera, do them a short video. You could do one about Christmas or about family, or about any other number of things, as long as it's funny and interesting. You could do a mock-up of something funny that happened to them once. Anything you can act out that will make them laugh.
- You could make a calender for them. On Microsoft Publisher, there is a Calender Wizard, which you can use to make a personalised calender for the people you care about. Simply put in pictures of things and people they hold near and dear.
- Make a Christmas decoration/ornament for them. This could be really cheap if you know where to get the materials. A lot of hobby/craft shops sell the stuff you would need cheaply. You could get clear plastic baulbauls you could decorate, you could sew together a star, make a Christmas tree from some material, any number of things if you can imagine what you would like to make. Perhaps even make a small photo frame out of fabric and sew the picture into it so it can hang from the tree.
Well, that's all I can think of. I hope it's enough to give you some ideas!

do you have to exercise every day to keep off the weight?? i want to eat what i want [only 3 meals], and exercise 4-5 days a week. would that be good doing that?? (link)
|
This really depends on what sort of exercise you're talking about. You should walk approximately 20,000 steps every day so it could be considered exercise if you make an effort to do this. However, if you're talking about muscle toning exercise or anything where the muscles need to be made stronger, you should only do such exercise 3-4 times a week so that the muscles have an opportunity to repair themselves.
Personally, I would recommend that if you vary your exercise, you should start off slowly, doing exercise maybe 3 times a week and then build up. There's nothing wrong with doing cardiovascular every day, as long as you don't overdo it but you have to know when to stop. If you're aching, give your muscles a chance to recover before you exercise again.

Okay i was taught that anyhting with seeds are fruits: examples: apples, oranges, kiwi, tomato(it is a fruit!) etc. and the foods without seeds are vegetables: brocolli, celery, zuchinni..etc. Is this right?
So then is a pickle a fruit?\IDK! (link)
|
Okay! The science bit...here goes:
Generally, the vast amount of people think that a fruit is defined as a fruit because it is sweet (peaches, strawberries, melon, etc) and vegetables are not. However, if we're going to be scientific about it, a fruit is actually the ovary of a plant. It is what is produed in order to grow a new plant. For example, if you grow a tomato and drop it in the ground, with nourishment, you could grow a new tomato plant from it. Do that with a lettuce or a cucumber and you would end up with a squidgy rotten mess!
A vegetable is the edible part of a plant. The broccoli we eat is the flower of the broccoli plant. Carrots are roots that can be eaten, spinach, cabbage, lettuce are all leaves that can be eaten.
So put simply, the difference between a fruit and a vegetable is that a fruit has the ability to grow a new plant from itself, whereas a vegetable is just an edible part of a plant. By this term, the pickle (as someone has correctly said, a pickled cucumber) is a vegetable.

i think i might be pregnant.... my guy friend just came back from nailing his girlfriend. we got drunk and he fingered me... i dont know if he had any juice on his hands... my last period was late august... and its now halfway through november... could i be pregnant? (link)
|
If that was all you did, then it is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant. Once outside the body, sperm can only live for a few hours at best. However, if he was having sex with his girlfriend (assuming this is what you meant by 'nailing'), it's first of all important to bear in mind that the majority of the sperm will have gone into his girlfriend and not onto his hands. Secondly, if any did get onto his hands, it's unlikely he would walk around like that instead of wiping it off and unless they were super-sperm, that's pretty much the end of that.
As far as the absence of your period goes, there is probably another explanation. You haven't mentioned your age but if you have not had your period long anyway, there is usually a fair amount of disruption over the first year or so. If, on the other hand, you have had a regular period for some time, you ought to see your doctor to make sure everything is working okay.

Thsi question is in my head for years now: is final fantasy a show? there's a game but people make music videos of it and in some videos have words on the bottom like subtitles so I wonder if it's a show too and they made it into a game? If there is a show can you give me a website to watch or download it? thanks! (link)
|
It's actually a film, the full title of which is "Final Fantasy, The Spirits Within". It's completely animated by computer and is the story of a girl named Aki Ross, who is trying to collect these eight spirits which are meant to protect the Earth from a terrible tragedy. At the same time, she keeps having these weird dreams, which all come together at the end.
Personally, it's not to my taste but my partner has it on DVD, so it is available in the shops.

i love my dog, and i know she loves me too, because whenever im crying she always comes and licks me or lays next to me. But most of the time she follows my mom around and i cant get the feeling she doesnt like me, even though she does, you know? How do i bond with her, or get her to like me and maybe even follow me around??
I need help. (link)
|
I expect it isn't that your dog doesn't love you but more that she feels a stronger connection with your Mother. Does your Mum spend a lot more time in the house with your dog than you do by any chance? I expect she probably does and this means she will be the one feeding her, playing with her, taking her for walks and generally keeping her company.
All you have to do is learn to spend more time with your dog, doing the things that she enjoys and you will notice the bond grow stronger. Start taking her for walks once a day, somewhere green if at all possible. Try to train her to sit, stay and so on, with some treats or take her to obedience classes. Get her some toys and spend a while throwing them for her or generally playing with her. Then, with any spare time you have, sit with her, pet her, cuddle her.
If you can keep this up, she will become more attached to you and you will have your "girl's best friend" back by your side.

i straighten and blowdry my hair everyday and it gets kinda poofy and has split ends.. so what can i do to get healthy hair again? (link)
|
The answer is in your question. You straighten and blow dry your hair every day and that is extremely bad for it. Depending on which straighteners you use, most of them operate at between 150 and 200 degrees celsius. That sort of heat will absoloutely ruin your hair if you use it that regularly. I used to straighten my hair just twice a week and after 2 and a half years, I had to abandon the straighteners altogether because my hair was getting shorter by itself from the damage!
The only thing you can do to get the hair back in condition is change the way you do your hair. You say you blow dry your hair every day so I assume you wash it every day too. This is also bad for it. You should wash your hair a maximum of every three days, as any more than this will dry out the scalp and increase the production of the natural oils your hair needs to keep it looking healthy. No amount of washing will stop this and instead you need to lessen how often you wash it.
Once a week, if possible, leave your hair to dry naturally instead of using a hairdryer. Hairdryers don't damage hair as much as straighteners, but they do cause some level of damage. If you really have to blow dry your hair each time, make sure you use a heat protection spray on your hair first and keep the hairdryer around 15cm from your hair while drying. Rough drying (using your fingers as a comb or allowing the hair dryer to work alone) is also less damaging than using a brush or comb while drying. (In addition I should add that you should NEVER brush wet hair but dry it slightly first so it is damp and then use a comb, which won't cause so much damage).
When it comes to straightening, try finding a heat protection serum or spray and apply that first. You should only use straighteners once or twice a week so if you have the sort of hair that needs taming, you will be better off looking for an alternative solution. Sweep the straighteners through the hair quite quickly and ALWAYS ensure the hair is thoroughly dry before straightening, as damp hair will be very easily damaged by the heat.
I would also recommend for now that you use a repairing shampoo and conditioner. Pantene do a good shampoo for this and I can't recommend Aussie Three Minute Miracle more highly for damaged hair. It really does work wonders if you leave it on for around 8 minutes, instead of three.
Finally, remember that healthy hair isn't just about the products you do or don't use or the way you do and don't style it. If you have a healthy diet and drink the correct amount of water every day (2 litres), you will find the condition of your hair will gradually also start to improve.
