I'm about as butch as the next girl. I don't shave anything, I hate make up, I have a mean left hook, I don't take any crap on the street. My husband is a sweetheart, I found a rare gem in him, but his bull dyke best friend hates me. I have tried EVERYTHING to befriend her. I have tried ignoring her, I don't know what else to do. She HATES me. She tells total strangers what a seething bitch I am (well, I am) and she has tried to break us up many times. She has even threatened me with physical violence. I don't tell him who to be friends with or not, but she just won't let up. It's making him take a 2nd look at his friendship with her, and I'm afraid he's going to leave her behind. What can I do? I think she may be jealous of me. Does she want him, or me, or both of us. She has a history of sleeping with his other girlfriends, but I'm not bi. I'm letting him sort this one out for himself, but I feel kinda bad about it.

I think you should be glad he is choosing you over his friend. That can't be easy. My (now ex) husband didn't make that choice. He chose friends at work over me.
Your husband loves you enough to lose a friend and keep his wife. Why not spend some quality time with him, just the two of you, without even mentioning her. If you bitch about her you become the bad guy. You're lucky, appreciate it.

I'm an athiest, but i don't try to force people to believe what I believe. I don't challenge other people's beliefs. I've had this one guy bother me for 5 years about being an athiest. (I go to a PK-12 school distict). He's always asking me why I'm not religious, why I don't believe in God, etc, ect, and so on. i've done everything I can think of, including inflicting bodily harm on him (well - I dropped a book on his head. But I don't even think that hurt him) but he won't stop. how do I stop him? (link)

I have the same problem at times cause I'm Pagan. I no longer tell people my religion when I meet them. Saves me a lot of explaining. If I do get into it I just keep it simple. But, when someone does go out of their way to convert me I keep my cool by letting them talk. As long as they are talking I don't have to talk. So let him tell you all he wants to about his religion. Eventually he'll run out of steam. At that point you can be polite and non-commital. Let him think he has given you a good talking to and then go on with your life. Just don't broadcast your religious beliefs in mixed company. It's great to be proud of being Pagan or atheist (etc) but when you know it's controversial just keep it to yourself. Unless you want to start something and then you've made your bed and you just have to live with it.

no one visits my website. i submitted it to the search engines and everything, and I think it's pretty good content-wise. any ideas on how I can get more visitors? (link)

Start an email list or newsletter about a relevant topic and get that listed in web directories too.
Make a blog and keep it updated at least a few times a week. Get that listed too.
Put your URL in your email signature.
Go to online community sites like http://www.backwash.com and join up with your URL in your profile. Then find out which columnist would be the best to approach about getting your site listed in their directory. At BackWash your site may be included in newsletters and communities once it gets listed the first time in a column.
Join email lists and when you make a relevant post include your URL in your signature line.
Check for newsgroups, you can go through Google News now and do the same as with email lists.
Trade links with other webmasters.
Consider writing and exchanging content with other webmasters too.
Make an eye catching, unique, cute, etc web graphic for people to take to link to your site in their blogs, and etc.
Apply to edit a category at Dmoz which is relevant to your site. That way you get it listed and you can compare your site to similar sites and see what works for them.
Good luck.

how do you know if you're addicted to the internet? (link)
| |
Stay offline for a week, unplug your computer. Don't even go online to check email. If you can do that without acting like someone giving up smoking or some other addictive habit, you're okay. If you start acting like a grumpy bear (or worse) you know you have a problem.

I have a friend who's about to be initiated into Wicca. I know what Wicca's about, and that's mainly why I've been hoping he wouldn't. He's getting initiated on Saturday, and I'm really worried. Is there anything I can do to talk him out of it in five days?!? (link)
| |
What do you think Wicca is about? Although your friend could be into some shady branch of Wicca I think you need to talk to him/ her and find out what Wicca is to them before you get all emotional about this. Get the facts from your friend. Don't go all crazy over rumours and second hand information.

is fear in religion a good thing, to keep morality, or is it some man made thing to control people? (link)
| |
I'm Pagan and I don't believe in hell and all the rest of that. I chose to be Pagan partly because of the whole control/ fear issue. How can you really value a religion if it's based on fear and how many dollars you donate to it? What are you really putting your faith in?

Does Anyone know any good, free chat rooms to go to to meet people around the teen age? (link)

I like BackWash. But, it's not usually busy. The boards are better than the chat.

I need to go out of town for like a week. Is it worse to give my plants tons and tons of water before I leave, just just give them the normal amount of water and let them wilt some when they run out and hope I can bring them back to life when I'm back? (link)
| |
Not sure what kind of plants or how big they are. But, you can leave ice cubes on top of the dirt. They melt slowly so the plant gets water a bit more gradually. This time of year they should be able to go without water for a week. Once spring starts they'll need more.

I have dedicated this poem to my plant that will not grow.
little little fern why dont u grow,
little little fern i want to know,
i sit here waiting for you,
i just dont know what to do,
i put you outside i pit you inside,
but every since my cat ate u it died.
should i keep my fern?

Try some rain water or melted snow and leave it in a sunny window. It could be dormant due to winter. If it doesn't perk up when spring gets started there isn't much hope for it.

Has everyone who posts here forgotten the basic rules of grammer?
Do they not know how to turn off CAPS LOCK?
Do they not know how to capitalise the letter I?
I refuse to answer any question that is unreadable because the author cannot be bothered to write properly. (link)

I work as an editor online. What I really get tired of is: This is the Greatest Website Ever. It's Full of Really Great Content. Geared to People Who Come to this Website...
It's a real nuisance to go back and uncap every other word. I usually just delete them all and write my own extremely short version. If you can't take the time to make yourself clear than obviously you aren't interested in getting help.
