Some guy on a message board posted these, and to tell you the truth, we don't have the brain to figure them out (ecept for two which are not here). It's for his school project, one of the is not finnished, so i wouldn't blam you for saying you don't know or just a guess.
Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, these are poems by Shel Silverstein. (He wrote The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and lots of other books.)
Do you mean that you literally can't figure out what the poems are about, or that you're having a hard time figuring out any "deeper" meaning? Because, basically, they're meant to be funny/silly. The first one is making fun of those really, really long stretch cars -- the author is imagining a car that's so immense that it's actually longer than the distance you need to travel. The third one is about someone who invents a machine to do his homework, but it doesn't work as well as he'd hoped. So they don't hold up to any kind of deep analysis, I think -- they should be enjoyed for the fun of the rhymes and the rhythm, and for their slightly nonsensical, off-center perspective.

if u r younger and hav a friend who is only few yrs old, not too much of difference but can it bond more than a friendship and become somthing more? (link)
|
I'm really hoping you mean "only a few years older," not "only a few years old"! Because very small children, obviously, should not be getting involved in anything more than friendship.
The importance of the age difference totally depends on how old the two of you are. Three years is a huge difference between a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old, because of all the changes that happen to a person between ages 12 and 15. The difference is nothing at all between, say, 23 and 26. Basically, if you are at pretty much the same stage of life and have the same interests, concerns, etc., age isn't a big deal. If not, you should be looking for someone closer to your age.

I'm afraid I have no relevant experience in these matters, and I'm not sure if there's anyone here with expertise in the law. But you might try looking for information on this website:

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.

Actually, I like bits of each, though I prefer #1 overall. They're both quite lovely. If I were allowed to put them together, I'd probably wind up with something like this:

my boyfriend has erectile disfunction. i know this as we have only had sex once in four yrs .
he wont go to a dr, i have tried everything to stay faithful to him including masturbation . it is not working that great. my question is how patient am i to be i do love him we have been together for 4 yrs so this is no passing teenage thing. we are well past our teen yrs anyhow he says he is trying. we have talked about it. but he can prove it by me.that he is trying. well please someone tell me what to do short of leaving him i have done everything i can think of,i do not know what else to do
sincerly, going insane. i know everybody thinks this is not a big deal but i have a very high sex drive. (link)
|
I have to say, I don't really see what good his "trying" is going to do if he doesn't see a doctor. If he thinks he can fix this problem by his own strength of will, he's wrong.
Why doesn't he want to see a doctor? Is it because he's embarrassed? If so, then there are things you can do to help him get over that. Do some research on erectile dysfunction on medical websites (there are a lot of them devoted to it). Better yet, encourage *him* to do it. Then you'll both have a much better idea of what's going on, physically. This is a mechanical problem more than anything else, and he has to learn to see it that way. It could, perhaps, also be a sign of other medical issues, and it would be too bad if he ignored it.
If the problem is something else -- like, he doesn't have health insurance -- then I'm not sure what to tell you. I can only say that there's a lot he can do to satisfy your sex drive even without actual intercourse. :)
If, ultimately, you don't think he is really motivated to solve the problem, then maybe you should leave him -- not even necessarily because sex is so essential, but because you might prefer to be with someone who listens to you and takes your concerns about *your* needs and *his* health seriously.

i few months ago i made a pact with my friends that we were going to leave because things were really bad but things are starting to get better but i dont want to break my pact, and i still want to go but i also think i should wait a little bit.....what should i do (link)
| |
More information, please! What exactly are you talking about? (Running away from home? Going on a trip? Quitting your school?) How have things been bad? How old are you? If you could explain the situation a little more clearly, people will be able to give you much better advice. Thanks!

Im a straight A student and I have never really cared much about my grades. It isn't hard for me to get a A at my school. I am in 6th grade and I know this isn't very serious but I'm worried. I have gotten a B+ on my test in math...yeah I know no big deal...and I know it isn't. I just took it as a sign to pay attention in class, which I do. I recently got a A+ on my math test so everything is fine in math. I'm not worried about any of my other classes except language arts. For the past two quarters its been a easy A. I got a B or a B+ on one of my tests and I was like alright, that was just a mistake I made and I'll be sure to pay more attention. Well we did these powerpoint presentations on the book 'The Cay' and I got a C on it. I was at a 92% and I'm not sure how far this will drop my grade. I really don't want to have to get a b+ on my report card. I know I sound pretty preppy or whatever but it's not that. My dad has been having 'trouble' letting go of me lately because boys have been asking me out and my friensd are trying to get me to go to the movies with the boys and I've been buying shorter skirts...and I know he isn't exactly the happiest man in the world. I just know he would be dissappointed if I came home. The real question is , is there anything I can do to bring my grade up? (link)
|
Your teacher probably thinks you aren't working up to your potential. I'm sure you're totally capable of doing A work, but it seems like you've been coasting for a while, and it's starting to catch up with you.
The only thing to do is to go talk to your teacher, ask him or her where you stand grade-wise, and see if there's anything you can do to raise your grade. You may need to do some extra-credit work, or maybe if you work hard for the rest of the term, that'll be enough -- but whatever suggestions your teacher has, you should listen.
Theoretically, you should be able to wear short skirts, go to the movies with boys, AND get good grades, but only if you put enough mental energy into your schoolwork and reserve the distractions for your free time. Your dad may be worried that you're having trouble keeping it all in balance, so talk to him about it: see if you can get a sense of what his fears really are, and find out what you can do to reassure him that you're quite a responsible, together kid.

Yeah, so I don't usually ask questions, but I'm curious as to what you all think I should do.
I've been thinking about, er...going all the way with my boyfriend. I'm sixteen. He's seventeen, turning eighteen in late May. I know I'm young, but...eh. He hasn't been pressuring me at all, so that's not an issue. He loves me, I love him, we're planning, if all goes well, to live together when we graduate. I trust him and everything, but I'm concerned about the risks involved. I could get pregnant...I'm not worried about STDs because no one in either of our families has ever had one. Oh, and we're both virgins, in case you couldn't tell...Lol. I'm also just thinking...my mom has always told me "if you ever want to become sexually active, you should come to me so we can get you birth control. I wouldn't be happy with you, but I'd get you protection. If you ever got pregnant, I'd make you have an abortion." I can't imagine actually talking to her about it. It would be so horridly awkward, and she'd be so unhappy with me...My mom and I are fairly close. I'm also not sure if I'm ready. I mean, we've come close a few times, and I sorta panicked. I've just been thinking about it more lately and it's starting not to freak me out so much. What should I do? (link)
|
Sex always has a lot of potentially awkward things associated with it. (No matter how old you are.) You have to ask yourself whether you're ready to deal with all the stuff like procuring birth control, the possibility of accidental pregnancy (which can happen even with contraceptives, of course), etc. And of course, talking about that stuff with your partner. If you think you can identify those issues and handle them, great, but if not, you probably should hold off a while.
(Oh, and I might have misunderstood what you were saying about STDs, but whether or not your family members have ever had one has absolutely nothing to do with whether you might get one. If you're both virgins, you're probably safe on that count, though.)
Finally, your mom may take it better than you think. (If you've been dating your boyfriend for long enough, I'd guess that she's been mentally preparing herself for the possibility for a while.) If you can be honest with her and show her that you're handling the situation maturely, she just may surprise you. :)

I'm 25/Female and stuck! I'm in a serious relationship, but still haven't completely gotten over my first relationship back in high school. That guy and I don't talk anymore, but he constantly visits my website, so I know he's at least thinking of me too. My question is, is it a bad idea to make contact with him, or am I setting myself for more trouble by just being silent? I guess it depends if you're practical or whimsical, and I'm a little of both. (link)
| |
It depends what you're hoping will come of this. If, in your heart, you're hoping to rekindle your relationship with your high school boyfriend, I think there are clearly problems with your "serious relationship" that you need to address first. I mean, how would you feel if your current boyfriend tried to get back together with his ex behind *your* back?

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!

Apple, you need to leave him, and you need to get help right away. Talk to someone who has experience helping battered women. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233 (or 799-SAFE), and that would be a terrific start. They can give you good advice about how to get out of this situation and keep yourself safe.
What he's doing to you is horribly, horribly wrong, and it's only going to get worse if you stay with him. Please take care of yourself. You are not alone.

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)
|
Three months isn't that long, when it comes right down to it. You're still basically getting to know each other.
Usually, people feel physically ready to have sex well before they're truly emotionally ready. Having sex will certainly change your relationship, and you want to be sure it's strong enough for that.
I'm a little concerned because you mentioned how you "would hate to lose" your boyfriend -- as though you think you have to have sex with him to keep him. Is that true? Because if he's made you feel that way, that's just not acceptable. He has to respect your feelings and your values -- if he truly loves you, he won't pressure you to have sex until you're ready.

I Was cast as puck in act five for the school play. I really hate that part. I really want to be in the school play but I really don't want to be puck, especially in act five. I don't understand why they cast me as puck since I'm a girl and auditioned for Titania and the lovers. What should I do? (link)
|
I know it's not the part you wanted, but Puck is a really fun role to play, and a terrific showcase for an actor. (In most of the productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream I've seen or acted in, Puck pretty much stole the show.) And it's not a typical masculine part, at all: it's basically gender-neutral.
Probably they cast you in that role because Puck's monologue is the end of the play, and they need someone who's got a very strong stage presence to wrap it up. It's hard to find actors who are good at monologues and addressing the audience -- if the actor is uninteresting, the play ends on a blah note, and nobody wants that. You're going to be the last thing the audience sees, so make it memorable.

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)

Please, please call the National Runaway Switchboard at 1-800-621-4000. It's toll-free, available 24 hours. They will not tell your parents where you are, but they will help you develop a plan of action that's right for you. (If you want it, they will even arrange a free Greyhound bus ride home.)
And you are probably a lot less fucked if you go back than you think. I don't know anything about your family, but I'm pretty sure they care a lot more about getting you back safely than they do about why you left.

It doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't want to have sex with you. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that he has erectile dysfunction and has a lot of trouble getting or sustaining an erection; he probably hoped he could that last time, but (maybe because he was really nervous) it didn't work.
He's probably incredibly embarrassed about it, anyway. You should talk to him about it, but be as tactful and loving as you possibly can. He may be humiliated because he thinks it's some kind of reflection on his manhood, but it's actually a very common problem among older men. And there are a bunch of different treatments that a doctor can tell him about. Here's a good website, if you want more info to start with: http://www.sexualhealthchannel.com/erectiledysfunction/index.shtml

I have 2 questions. First, I know my husband will never do anything to hurt me, but i've been through so much in my past relationships and I've put my husband through so much in the past four years. And I am so insecure, I know he won't hurt me, but how do i get over being insecure and let myself be happy and learn to trust him?
second, is it right for a married man to talk to other women via email? (link)
|
You learn to trust him by communicating with him. Just be as open with him as you can, and encourage him to be the same with you. The best way to make sure you stay close is not to keep things from each other.
And, to some extent, trust is always a leap of faith. You have to actively decide that you're going to trust him, and that unless you have hard evidence to the contrary, you're going to assume that he's doing right by you. It's totally normal to have twinges of insecurity, but the trick is not to give in to them.
Don't allow your past experience to define your view of relationships, but do use it as a guide. Where do you think things went wrong before? What could you have done differently? What were some of the warning signs that might have tipped you off?
As for whether it's "right" for him to talk to other women via email -- well, I guess it depends who they are and what they're talking about! Married men are certainly "allowed" to have female friends that they correspond with. If he's using the internet as a kind of virtual singles bar, though, I think that's inappropriate. Again, this is something that you should be able to talk about.

my mom has babysat for her friends for over a year or 2 and this one of them has hardly paid her for it and still owes her like $300. one night i babysat for her and was supposed to get $10 for it. but i never did. how can i get the money without being rude or asking for it? (link)
|
You just have to ask. Don't be embarrassed: you're totally within your rights, and sometimes people need a little polite prodding.
But it doesn't sound, frankly, like this woman is a really reliable employer. If she doesn't come up with the money, I would suggest that you and your mom not babysit for her again, unless you're willing to do it for free as a favor to her.

Is it healthy for a guy to want to have sex like 3/4 times a day? Is there a healthy average amount for a couple to do...both aged 37?
Just curious. He says I don't fulfill his needs. (link)
|
Well, it's not exactly abnormal, but I'd think it would be difficult to sustain that kind of frequency for long!
There's no such thing as "average," really -- every couple is different, and every couple varies a lot over time as well. What feels right to *you*? Could you work out some sort of compromise? And how long have the two of you been together? The activity might settle down naturally to a more manageable level after a while.
(I think, incidentally, he would be hard pressed to find many other women who were willing to have sex 3-4x/day on a regular basis. I mean, people have other things to do with their time, you know? And at his age, he must realize that. So I wonder if his complaint about sex might not at least partly related to other issues -- do you have good chemistry in general? Is there a healthy level of general physical affection? Does he know how to be intimate in nonsexual ways? If not, he may be focusing on sex because it's the only way he knows how to be close to you. Just a thought.)

I am Juliet. My Romeo is gay. At the end of the play there's a kissing scene. So as not to offend his homosexuality I need to learn how to fake kiss. Any ideas? (link)
|
I don't really get why a stage kiss would "offend his homosexuality." It's *acting*. If a scene called for you to kiss a woman, wouldn't you just deal with it and kiss her?
This is the director's call, ultimately. Just go about it however he or she wants you to.

Hi, I'm "Joanna" and my two best friends "Martina and Danielle" have been friends since 4th grade(we're now in sixth). But since the beginning of this year, Martina has left me and Danielle behind. She never talks to us, and we haven't made any friendly contact with her for ages. But now her and her (new) idiotic friend "Lorey" have been kinda harassing me. They've called my house before, saying they were Danielle but I knew better and wouldn't talk. I've had skittles thrown at me. Her and her new cooler friends were sitting at a table next to us one day at lunch, and they kept pointing and whispering about who knows what. I try to just ignore them, but it doesn't seem to work at all! What do I do?!
Hating change,
Joanna (link)
|
The best thing to do, of course, is to keep ignoring it. A person who will treat an old friend like that doesn't deserve attention.
If you want to take a more active approach, though, you should talk to Martina and tell her that this is bothering you. I wouldn't do it while Lorey is around, and I wouldn't do it over e-mail (she might just forward it to Lorey). If you want to call her at home, or if you happen to catch up with her while she's alone, just ask her, as calmly as you possibly can, what's going on, and why she's been acting like this, because it doesn't make sense to you. You can say that you realize you guys aren't close anymore, and that's just the way things go, but you've never done anything mean to her and you'd appreciate being treated with the same respect.
Maybe she actually does have some reason for being mad at you that you don't realize, and maybe she'll tell you. Or maybe she'll feel ashamed of the way she's been acting, and change. Or maybe she'll just be nasty about it (you have to be prepared for that possibility). But whatever happens, be strong and proud of yourself -- she's the one who should feel uncomfortable, not you.

Every time I go to my friend she always jokes with me saying that "Oh here comes lil miss christian girl" and "Oh great your going to preach to us are'nt you." I know she is just playing but I wish I could witness to her without being made fun of. (link)
| |
Think of it this way: if you truly want to spread your faith, the most effective way to do it is by the example of your life, rather than by repeating the same words over and over. I personally would be a lot more impressed by someone whose spirituality gave her strength, purpose, and inner peace, than I would be by someone who kept trying to tell me what to believe. If she wants to know more, she'll ask you.
