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)
| |
I have no idea what your site is about. Is it possible it's got good content, but content about something no one really cares about? It's possible no one is looking for your site (or one like it, containing the info yours has) and that's why no one's found it?

I'm dating a guy who's nice, but I'm just not feeling a "spark" or anything. We're comfortable together, that's all. Like really good friends. Is that enough for a lasting relationship? I'm just not the "fall head over heals" type. (link)
| |
By asking this question, it leads me to believe that you are more than just a little "not into him," you know? I know it sucks for guys to hear the "let's be friends" speech, but that looks like what it's coming to. When you're not into someone, you're not into someone. The best thing for both of you is to cut it off without letting him think this could work out. It's very easy to stay in a rut, and while it may be more comfortable than breaking up, it makes it all the harder to leave when you know it needs to stop.

I work in a cinema and part of my job is to make sure that people don't talk or mess around because it disturbs the other customers.
It would help me a lot if you guys would say how you think I should react in the following circumstances.
1) Group of people talking,throwing popcorn.
2) Two people making out.
3)People walking up and down the aisles a lot.
4) Little kids sitting in the aisle because they're too short too see over peoples heads(against fire regulations)
5)People with their phones on(messes up the sound)
6)Teenage boys wanking in the back row(has happened to me before)
7)People waiting outside banging on the doors to come in whilst a films on.
8)People making obscene gestures/giving me verbal abuse.
9)Having a queue, knowing we are going to run out of seats.
10) Babies crying.
Could continue but I think I've given you the general idea-my job is hard work! (link)
|
1) Group of people talking,throwing popcorn.
1 warning, then throw 'em out!
2) Two people making out.
Are they disturbing people? If they're being loud, chances are it's gone past "making out" throw 'em out! If they're just kissing, people should stop looking at THEM and look at the big ass screen in front of their faces.
3)People walking up and down the aisles a lot.
"Sir/Ma'am, you'll have to take your seat or I'll have to ask you to leave." They keep it up or get irate, throw 'em out!
4) Little kids sitting in the aisle because they're too short too see over peoples heads(against fire regulations)
"Sir/Ma'am, your child cannot sit in the aisle, it's against fire regulations." "But Ms. Usher of All Power, little Jimmy-Bob can't see the screen!" "You can move closer (if there's room)" or "I'd consider bringing a booster next time."
5)People with their phones on(messes up the sound)
Okay, I didn't know phone use had any ramifications other than the annoyance factor. Good to know. Anyway, 1 warning, then you guessed it, throw 'em out!
6)Teenage boys wanking in the back row(has happened to me before)
Throw those nasty little perves out! Turn on the lights then call out (or use the PA if you have one) that the boys in the back row exposing themselves need to leave immediately! Then clean the seats! Or make THEM clean the seats!
7)People waiting outside banging on the doors to come in whilst a films on.
"Sir/Ma'am, it is too late, the film is already in progress. Please wait for the next showing at blah-blah time." Putting a sign on the door that says it's too late to enter would probably be good, too.
8)People making obscene gestures/giving me verbal abuse.
Throw 'em out! Tell them Cinema Myjobsucks will not tolerate harassment of it's employees.
9)Having a queue, knowing we are going to run out of seats.
Tell them to move closer to each other. If they give you the "I'm saving these seats" tell them that you are running out of seats and whomever they are waiting for will have to find their own. You cannot give them special priveledges, your hands are tied. Then start directing people to the seats. They get bitchy - throw 'em out!
10) Babies crying.
That's a tough one. I don't believe women should have to abstain from movies because they have babies, especially young ones that don't just cry for no reason. I'd ask the woman if there is something you could help with. She'll probably say no, but get the message that the baby is becoming a problem to others. If she says something like, sure my baby needs a new diaper, or some other dumb thing, direct her to the bathroom. If she has to breastfeed, leave her where she is. Do NOT suggest the bathroom for that. You'll have LLL on your ass in a hot minute.

i normally get my period every 21 days like clock work. I was supposed to have it 4 days ago and haven't gotten it yet. I'm really worried that something is going on. To be possibly pregnant right know would not be good. My parents would not take it well at all. Me either actually. I don't feel any different,except no period. Tell me what you think? (link)
| |
Well, when I got pregnant I knew it. With every fiber of my being I knew. Something just wasn't right. But then, some women know, some don't. Your best chance for answers is a test. Buy two, take one today and the other in a week. Unless it's +, in which case take the second right away.

So I have this plant. I can't identify it, trust me I've tried, but I know it's common... big green waxy leaves, one flower on a long stem that's white with one petal and this white spiny thing in the middle? But that's not my question... the problem is that this plant is just perpetually dying, it a really awful and depressing way. I water it almost every day, I repotted it, it's by a window where it gets a decent amount of light I think, but 80% of the time it's just wilted and sick looking. I don't know what to do. It could be a nice plant, I feel really bad that it's so crappy looking. (link)
| |
I'd take it to a nursery. Not for babies, for plants. Ask them what it is. If it's some weird kind of plant, maybe desert, it's possible you've overwatered it. I'd definitely try to find someone with knowledge in plant life, and a manager of a nursery is probably as close to a botanist as you can get. Unless you can get a botanist.

I heard this ad on the radio for these parties... they're like tupperware parties, where women get together and buy stuff... only we're buying sex toys instead. Since I've got all these boring married coworker gals who are always inviting me to their make-up parties and kitchen selling things, I was thinking of setting up a sex toy party.
I'm totally serious.
Would this be a bad thing to do with co-workers? What exactly is a sex toy party? If I call the shop that's offering this thing will I get suckered into some awful deal my friends will never forgive me for? (link)
| |
I've been to one. If these girls have any kind of humor, it'll be fucking hilarious. And just say no to deals, that way you can't go wrong.
|
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?????
(link)
| |
Dump him. He needs more care (and THERAPY) than you have time to give. Tell him that (probably in a nicer way...). Maybe it'll spur him to get some help before he becomes more than just verbally abusive, which appears to be the direction he's headed.

So, I'm a drummer, and I need some new equipment. Should I go for a new hi-hat stand, crash, ride, or double bass petal? The hi-hat stand is probably the most needed, the ride would round out the sound, the crash would make me even louder than I already am, and the double bass would just r0x0rz. So, if you were in my fuzzy blue slippers, which should I (or you I guess) get? (link)
| |
Prioritize. Hi-hat first, ride next, then double base, then crash. Why Dbass before crash? Because if you don't rock it, who wants to hear it?

What's the best thing to mix with vodka? (link)
| |
Definitely no cinnamon schnopps. That tastes like varnish. I'm a stickler for the classics, I go with OJ.

Why do women whine about equality but still expect guys to pay for stuff and open doors and all that crap? (link)
|
Oh, yes I know how annoying it can be to hear people whine about equality. Back in the 1950s all the african americans did was whine, whine, whine. White supremacy this, abolish segregation that. DAMN people! What do we have to DO? Treat you like WHITE FOLKS???
What do these feminists want, anyway? To be treated like they're just as good as MEN? Whine whine whine. Male supremacy this, no means no that. I mean hell, you didn't pay for dinner for the pleasure of her company (how silly would that be?), you didn't ASK her to dinner (did you?), the least she can do is rip off her own dress without screaming date rape. Honestly.
|
|
Do you feminists hate gay men as much as you hate straight ones? (link)
| |
Well, that's a pretty broad question. Do I hate straight men that believe their penis gives them magical powers of supremacy? You bet your dick I hate those men. Do I hate gay men who believe the same? I have yet to meet one who thinks like that, but he'd be held to the same standards.

so after watching tv today, i saw a slew of comercials that were the final straw. i've had enough of the idea that sex and stars sell...so i'm going to ween myself off pepsi and coke, m&m's and lays, colgate and oral-b, and go for non-commercial stuff...not because i think it's really going to make a difference...but just so i have a clear concience or w/e...so living in a small town, what is there for me to buy? i'll probably end up eating healthier, since there's really only healthy food here that isn't comericalized with all that shit...so suggestions on what i can do for food, without traveling, and without freeking out my parents would be nice...thanks
oh and i guess it's possible i'm going a bit over board, but i do that...did that with carl's jr. and one of their commercials too...ya... (link)
| |
Buy generic brands. No matter how small your town is, there should be generics available. They're cheaper because they don't advertise at all, let alone use sex. Kudos to you for boycotting!

I'm 20 years old and I still live with my parents while I'm in school. They are driving me crazy. I want to get out but I can't afford to so I'm stuck in this situation. Anyway, my birthday is coming up and they're throwing this huge party that I don't want. They already sent out the invitations, so I can't get out of it. Is it wrong to fake an illness so I can stay the entire night in my room? (link)
|
If your parents aren't listening to you, there are some definite communication problems that should probably be addressed before said party.
However, if the invitations are already sent and you aren't in the mood to look like a huge ass completely insensitive to what your parents do for you, I'd suck it up and go. Otherwise, no matter who says what, it's going to look to everyone that it's your fault and you're a horrible ingrate. In the future, make it clear to your parents that you won't be attending anymore of this stuff if they don't clear it with you.
|
I'm not sure if this fits in the right topic, but....
there are hairs growing inside my ass. Is this normal? (link)
| |
Possibly it is normal for you. Have you talked to your doctor? I promise he won't say you're gross.

me and this kid really like eachother. we cant go out though because this other kid likes me and we dont wanna hurt him (we are all friends) i need this kid to get over me. he has liked me for 2 years and i have tried givin him a chance but it never worked out. HELP (link)
|
Okay, does he know you know he likes you? Because if he thinks his crush on you is pretty secret, go out with the other guy and pretend everything is cool.
I know, that is kind of mean. The truth is, if he ignores that you are not into him, he isn't being very fair to you. If he doesn't consider your feelings, why should you consider his? It's not like you lead him on, right? Tell him bluntly that you are not into him and if he likes you so much he will be respectful of your feelings.

I'm on my period and have really awful cramps. What's the best drug to take? Aspirin? Tylenol? I'm tempted to just take them all. (link)
|
Yeah, I'd go with Motrin if you're looking to pop a pill. There's also a tea called Moon Cycle that really helps me.

That's the one I use.
