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)

It's none of your business. Seriously. It's his life to lead. Unless he waves a smudge stick around you, back off.

What's the big deal about organic foods? Are they really better for you, or do people just feel better about buying them? And what on earth makes a food like rice organic? The rice was talked to nicely and allowed to roam freely throughout its life? help me out, I don't get it. (link)
|
Any fertilizers or pesticides used to grow organic food must be of animal or vegetable origin. Organic meat means that the animal was Raised or conducted without the use of drugs, hormones, or synthetic chemicals.
I have no definitive evidence that organic food is healthier than other food. I find it tastes much better. Especially organic meat.

I'm not really a social person, even though I do like having friends. The problem is that sometimes they call me up and I just don't feel like going out, and they get all insulted about the fact that I'd rather curl up with a book than party with them. I have a lot more "me" time than the average person, and I like it that way, but they don't get it. I've lied to them about other stuff going on but feel bad about that. How can I tell them I'm not in a going out mood without hurting their feelings? (link)

I used to feel like that when I was in middle/high school. Whenever I felt like saying no would hurt somebody's feelings, I'd say my dad wanted me to stay in that day, or do some chores, or focus on my grades. Even better is when you can get your parents in on it, and have your friend hear your parents say they want you home, and you say "come on dad, please?"
The thing about turning people down for plans most of the time is that eventually they're going to stop calling. Definitly you can say no once in a while, if you make a compromise more often than not (going out during the day but home early, making plans for the day after) the invitations will keep coming in.

Last week our school had a dance. I went and we all had fun, just hanging out, talking, laughing, and then we decided to dance. At first we were just dancing, but then the slow songs came on. All my friends have boyfreinds/girlfreinds, and my freind, whom we will call bob, and I were just standing there. We are very good friends,he asked me to dance, so I said sure, why not? He thought we were dancing as friends, I thought so too. We are just friends. There is this girl though, and now she is totally pissed off at us for dancing. When she's talking to a group, and I try and say something, she'll just say: Nobody cares, Hawley. I just give her a dirty look and start talking, I don't care what she says. BUt she's really being a total bitch to *Bob* and I, and it's pissing me off. How the hell do I get her off my case when she won't even listen to us? (link)

Ignore her. Seriously. You owe her no explanation, and she's acting like a bratty kid. If she's mad about you dancing with your friend, then she'll calm down when she sees that you two are obviously not together. Plus, the more she baits you and you don't respond, the more obvious it becomes to everybody that she's the unreasonable one.

ok i've been studing tons of stuff on phycis and all this other stuff and i think i'm an empath now but i'm not to sure how can i tell if i am? (link)
| |
what am I thinking right now?
|
I have to think of questions to ask 'Camillo Cavour' (Italy 1815+) and radicals from Britain in the 1800's. Henry 'orator' Hunt in particular.
Has anyone got any ideas? (link)
|
I would ask Henry (because due to our close friendship we're on a first name basis) something about the power of the press, and what he thought they stood to gain from not reporting certain speeches he gave.
Also I'd ask if he ever suffered from stage fright, and what his cure was.
|
I have been divorced for almost a year, and have been seeing a guy from work for almost a year, but used to he would always want to be around me, touch me etc., now i almost have to force him to do anything. he says he still has the same feelings for me and the thing is that when we get into an arguement he always tells me to shut up, that I am f-ing stupid, or go to He@@. He always opologizes and I know he has had a really rough childhood, both parents dying, his dad shot his mom right in front of him and his grandad used to beat him, I can deal with thie emotional rollercoaster with him anymmore, should i try to work it out or kick him out?????

If I were you, I'd dump him. Having had a rough childhood doesn't absolve a person from terrible abusive behaviors as an adult.
But if you really want to make the relationship work, and he does too, I would say get into counseling, individual and couples. Maybe there the two of you could figure out what's going on in your relationship, why he doesn't want to touch you, insults you, etc.
But nothing excuses abuse, nothing. He can apologize until the cows come home, but if nothing changes, or he isn't willing to get help I would get out before you get hurt any more.

I don't know what it is but as soon as i get in the car with my brother, I'm ready for him to crash. He has this thing where he takes his hands of the wheel to get something or he starts looking at his cd and the car will start to slowly head for the shoulder or whatever else is at the side of the road, including other cars... he also drives fast but even other fast drives I'm fine with (i don't eve mnd taking a turn fast, unless I'm with him), just him. something about him makes me brace myself no matter what, even if he's got both hands on the wheel looking out to an empty road going the speed limit, i feel like were going to crash, and only with him... could this be like postdramatic stress thing since last year at about this time we got into a pretty nasty accident due to ice on a bridge, Is there anything i can do to relax! anything!!! i really need it, i only try and grab the wheel from him all the time when he takes his hands off it... Its horrable! HELP! (link)
|
I'm always more frightened by my brothers' driving than anybody else's. Even when what they're doing isn't so terrible. And when they do do something dangerous, I'm convinced we're all going to die. The way I deal with it is by wearing a seatbelt and trying not to pay attention.
I also like those handlebars they have on the roof by the passenger door. whenever I want to take control of the car I grab on to that instead. Definitely don't reach for the steering wheel, because then if you veered and crashed it would be your fault and not his.
I was thinking about this some more today, and I think it would help if you offered to read his cd for him, or change the heat, or whatever he's reaching off the wheel to do. When I've got somebody else in the car with me it's so nice to be able to ask them to change the station, or pick up the map from the floor, because then I don't have to risk having an accident. Just an extra 2 cents.

My friends and I sometimes make ourselves throw up like if we eat a really big meal and don't want to get fat from it. It's not bad, we're not anorexic or anything, and I know a ton of people who do it. But this one girl at our school found out and is like freaking out about it... how do we let her know it's okay? (link)
|
She'll never think it's okay. And the more you try and convince her, the more she'll think you have an eating disorder.
I think there is a big difference between people who make themselves throw up and bulimics, mainly why and how often you make yourself throw up. You sound like you're doing it mostly because your friends are, which isn't terrible but it's still not the greatest reason to do things. my friends and I used to carve boys' names into our skin to prove our love for them, which is probably equally as dumb as making yourself throw up, so I'm in no place to judge.
The thing about doing stuff like cutting up your arms or making yourself throw up is that they can easily become something you need to do instead of something you just do sometimes. And it can be hard to tell when you've crossed that line. So I can understand why the girl is freaking out. And I don't think there's any way to explain it to her that will make her think what you and your friends are doing is okay.
I also think you should stop throwing up, because doing it regularly is bad for your digestion and your teeth. You can be fat and pretty, or skinny and pretty, but rotten yellow teeth is never, ever attractive.

My best friend Joleen has been dating this guy Tom for a month now. Tom and my friends Allison and Grace go to the same school, but Joleen and I go to a different one.
Well, Tom, Allison, and Grace's school had a homecoming festival. Allison, Grace, and this other girl Mary were hanging around a fire pit, when Tom comes up and sits on Mary's lap. Then, he says "Oh, no. I'll crush you, you can sit on my lap." and Mary did. Apparently, that wasn't all that happend, either. They were flirting a LOT.
Should I tell Joleen what Tom did? Or should I keep it to myself? (link)
|
I wouldn't tell her. Especially because you didn't see any of this yourself. It's like that old game telephone, where each time someone passes on the message it gets crazier. Telling your friend gets you caught up in her relationship with Tom, and you don't need that drama.
Now if Allison or Gracefeel like they should call up Joleen and let her know that her boyfriend was flirting, that's their choice.
