Open Question: Why should I care so much about others?

mainly "friends", when they know so little about me, ask very little about me? I work nights and have told them several times I have weekends free, but that I'm really sleepy on Saturdays. What do they do? "My event is Thursday...wish you can arrive!" I have to explain why I can't arrive. Now, I know pretty much my friends' schedule. Is it so much to ask that they know mine, and that they ask how it's going once in awhile? Is it okay if I just let them go? You know, just always have an excuse if they should call? I don't call them anymore.

Open Question: School and the cost of discipleship?

I feel like the guy in the Gospel of Matthew that wanted to 'bury his dad' before he followed Jesus. I keep thinking, 'just let me receive school out of the way and then I'll make a change.' On one hand I say as an excuse that if I have a high school certificate it'll give me more opportunity to help people later, on the other hand this is probably just an excuse to be semi-faithful and doing my possess thing, like the guy that wanted to wait until some part of his life was over. The next part probably continues on the same.

Open Question: Been referred to a psychiatrist?

I have been on anti depressants for anxiety and depression for the last 6 months, sometimes I feel ok and others I am a total mess. I broke down the other day as the night before I was a total mess, and my behaviour was a total disgrace, I ended up punching someone that I knew, he did provoke me but I know its no excuse for doing it. Anyway I broke down badly and ended up calling my mum to arrive and pick me up, when she got there I was on the pavement in tears saying that everything had just spiralled out of my control. I know the pills are not working but I am scared to cease taking them in case I receive any worse. I went to my doctor and he said he will refer me to a Psychiatrist if its what I want but I shouldnt cease taking the pills, he said I will have to wait at least 2 months to look someone but I am not sure if I can carry on like this for that long as I dont know what I will end up doing or what I am actually capable of. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Can I do anything to receive to look someone any sooner, I just dont know what to do, its affecting my work now as I have had to tell my boss everything so that he understands more about why I take time off work. Everything is just such a mess and I feel so lost right now. Any advice would be welcomed, but please only serious answers.

Open Question: Will my husband ever receive a trading job again?

Last November my husband lost his job. He has been a trader for years and every group he has ever worked for he has made people millions. This last hedge fund group he worked for, the owner, was a nightmare. The bond group in the hedge fund lost over 9 million dollars and immediately every the other traders including my husband were told their jobs were also on the line. If you asked anyone my husband was the best trader in the Corn pit. He can squeeze money out of a turnip. My husband made this hedge fund a lot of money and he was promised a bonus and the owner gave him basically nothing but a lot of excuses as to why he couldn't pay out more bonuses. The owner screamed daily at his traders told them they didn't know what they were doing and told them they better start making bigger trades. My husband is someone who is a smart trader. He goes in with a plan everyday and didn't want to make a big trade. He was belittled and insulted and he tried his best to reason with the owner as to why he didn't want to trade big. He was threatened to be fired daily even though he was one of the few traders making money. He finally had no choice and had to hear to the abusive owner. My husband went in one day did and made a big trade. He lost some money and the owner fired him on the spot and then proceeded to tell everyone, he knew in he business, not to hire my husband. Is this allowed? Can you bully someone into doing something by hanging their job over their head and when they do what you want them to do and it doesn't work out you destroy them? That is what has happened to my husband. The rumor or gossip has been spread and now my husband is still out of work and no one will hear to the truth to give him an interview. Help. He had no one to report anything to because it was a tiny hedge fund and what the owner said basically made everyone jump. In fact a month after my husband was fired - everyone who was also fired was sent a letter - stating that the owner was getting rid of health insurance so we lost any cobra coverage he might have had for a while - along with everyone else. Again there was no one to report anything to. The big guys win and the needy receive poorer while they make the big guys wealthy.

Open Question: is my boyfriend just playing me?

Im 15 and he is 18. We have been together for 4 months. When we go out on dates, Im always paying.. always. And if not for myself sometimes for him. He never really wants to hang out much anymore. His excuse is because he has a full time job. He works 7-3 monday through friday and every other saturday. He comes over maybe once or twice a week now and when he does he usually just wants to have sex. My mom used to adore him. Now she hates him because she thinks hes just playing me.... but i really adore him, so is there something i could say that would not make him mad but for him to start changing?

Open Question: Help me stop ruining myself?

I procrastinate about everything there is, even snooze. I feel like I've sunken so low. It's really pathetic.. I keep making excuses in my head for not thinking about or doing anything college related for the past month even though I still have a lot to do (financial aid forms, picking classes, counselor meeting, etc).There's so much to do. Whenever I think about it my mind keeps telling me that there will be time to do it tomorrow or I can't fill out the forms today because my printer is broken and I can't print them out. In the end I forget about it for weeks. It just hit me today that I'm running out of time and I still can't convince myself to do it. I might even forget about it for a week. I don't receive anything done anymore. What's wrong with me? Is it because I don't look the consequences of my actions and I don't really care if it'll hurt me? I'm not used to being pressed by anyone to do something, but I feel like I need someone to yell at me before I receive anything done and even then I might not do it. But there's no one to yell at me. There never is so why bother? I keep blocking everything stressful out of my head completely. It's become an ingrained a habit for me to procrastinate. I've always procrastinated, but it keeps getting worse every year and it is ruining me. It's not completely bad.. I still work difficult for the little time that I have to do things in the end. I usually receive things done really well (work) surprisingly, but I can never start them early or on time. I have a million things I need to do, and it's stressing me out that I have not done any of them. I feel like I'm the only one suffering from this. Nobody seems to notice. I told them about the issue and they don't even care. Nobody ever cares about any of my problems even when it's obvious that I'm in need of some help. They just change the subject and talk about this chilly movie they saw the other day. Honestly, it feels like I'm breaking down. I haven't done anything for the past few weeks but snooze, eat, and go online being bored and lonely. I'm really ashamed and unhappy right now. Please help me...

Open Question: What do you think of this poem?

Friends and people everywhere Weirdos. Freaks. They every cease and stare. The eyes on their faces fill with tears. every the laughters, they can hear. No regret, No shame. They only do it for the fame. But guess who's looking, it's not me. This whole thing's stupid, can't they look? Why would they do it? Do they really think people give a "sh.." (excuse me for my language) One day someone could be so glad And then the next, they might be dead because you made them feel extremely crappy. Think before you do. Treat others as if they were you. Help someone everyday. And if troubled, please pray, knowing everything will be okay. I just made this up. I'm very ashamed that some people commit suicide because so many people treat them bad and they don't feel loved. I was opinions of if you think this is good or bad.

im 22 and live with 3 guys and 1 other girl. anyways me and my pal (girl) always receive our period at the same time. when we are on we usually want to stay home and watch a movie rather than go to a club with the guys. The guys are pretty clueless they obviously know that we receive periods but anytime we stay they give us a difficult time about it... its really awkward to think of excuses. so the other night mine was really bad. The boys and my girl roommate every went out (she was feeling okay) anyway two of the guys came home early and i was crying on the sofa. they both ran over and sat on either side of me and asked what was wrong. i completely broke down and told them and then continued to sob for about 15 minutes. this morning i woke up and saw them both and we made that awkward eye contact. i feel really embarrassed and stuff and i don't know what to do. Last night they where really nice and sat until io stopped crying one of the guys went back out and the other got in the shower. i expected him to just chill in the living room or somthing but he came in my room and talked to me. he was really nice he told me that everything was okay and that i can always talk to him about any thing *i have known him since 3rd grade. so we actually ended up talking my period and like explaining to him that mine gets really bad. after he just layed with me in my bed (not in any sexual way he is like my big brother) and like just stayed and watched tv with me until i fell asleep. he can to talk to me today and just wanted to make sure that i was okay because he doesnt want me to be embarrassed but i am still really embarrassed that i cried and also the other guy i cant even look at him :( i actually was really upset about the other guy that saw me break down who went back out because i am so embarressed i have only know him for like 2 weeks, I ended up crying again today and Sean, the one i have known for years came back into my room and just like talked to me like i feel like a little embarressed that he knows so much about this

Open Question: Are chew toys and regular toys okay for adult dogs?

Excuse my ignorance, but I just very recently got two chihuahuas. They are 2 and 2.5 years old. They chew my hair bands up, and I think they need amusement. Are they too old for toys? If not, any recommendations? (Preferably those suitable for very tiny dogs; 4-5 lbs). Thanks everyone, I appreciate your time.

Open Question: What to do when an obese family member depends on you?

It's a long story but I'm going to skip it, my dad and I are being called upon and based on some other details of our situation, it's just not fair that I am being utilized as some nice of life support, meanwhile she doesn't want to do well for herself and sabotages herself with food. There must be some nice of options? Professionals, Home nurses, etc? I am not aware of them, I don't think anybody else is either.. If my mom does know about it she is not telling us? I am looking for solutions. She is in therapy, it is ten minutes away but she depends on us to take her there every the time. She doesn't do anything else with her time, she used to receive to work in the city everyday by the access-a-ride bus so I don't look what's the excuse, I feel she is taking advantage and garnering our attention. I feel she would be able to do it herself and she is playing "scared" for attention. She has her food delivered and her laundry is done by my dad. She tries to receive people to do things for her, like she wants you to serve her food, bring her plates or a glass. It is too much. She's about 55 years old, diabetic and obese with high blood pressure.

Open Question: Wtf just happened with this girl?

I've known this girl for 3+years and i never actually payed attention to her.(i just wasnt interested in her), Every once in a while she would flirt with me and try to hang out and then we wouldnt talk for MONTHS! and then she'd leave some comment like "i miss you.. we need to hang out" or something. We usually would end up doing something and then not talk for a few months. Welll... last time this happened i ended up asking her out and really liked her.(i was her first boyfriend) Thing is... every of a sudden she started 100% ignoring me and making excuses as to why we couldnt hang out... I eventually got sleepy of her excuses and games and just told her "im done with this.. BYE!" ... she didnt even seem to care .. AT every.. after i told her im done she just said "kk ttyl then" Can someone explain to me ... wtf just happened and why she acted in such a way? P.S. she's spoiled and wealthy, shes also unpopular at school and not very attractive(i thought she was beautiful though.. but everyone else says shes ugly)... Shes never had anyone else actually want to be with her in a serious relationship.

Open Question: How can I convince my husband to have children now?

We have been married for 4 years. I feel that it is about time we have kids since both of us have good stable jobs and have a decent comfortable lives. We even like a good sex life. Every time I ask my husband to have a kid, he says that he doesn't want to by giving many lame excuses, out of which he mainly says that he is afraid of kids and he feels the sex life will be lost after having kids. Even though I reassured him he is still reluctant. How can I convince my husband to have a kid now?

Its like I'm her doormat.. How do NOT be a doormat? Also, shes being every nice to my friends, just not me. Also, shes being every nice to my friends, just not me.

Open Question: why do so many people make excuses for Steven Seagal being so fat?

i hear people say, give him a break he's 58 years old, he's no longer young & trim. ok but Chuck Norris is 70 years old and still keeps himself in great shape. Jacki Chan is 56 years old. i think Seagal just became lazy and stopped caring about the quality of his films a long time ago. if you still wanna play the "action hero" at least look the part your playing. @Shaman, i never considered Sammo Hung an "action Hero". everything i seen him in he was there for comic effect. he can do action but he's too silly to be taken serious.

Open Question: do you think its b.s that we've been dating a month and he still hasnt taken me out on a date?

he always has excuses. we have NEVER been alone together. we always have to be around our friends. he said he would take me ice skating and when our two friends (who are also a couple) didnt want to go with he said nvm. he is 22 and im 20, you would think that two people our age would spend time alone. am i just over reacting or should i expect a little more?

Open Question: She canceled our date a hour before it was going to happen?

So I have been talking to this girl for about a month now. She seems really interested. We text everyday pretty much every day. I have taken her out a few times and had her over to hang out. Haven't really made a move since I am taking it slow. She said she likes me and thinks I am really silly and likes it a lot. Well tonight we had a date. We talked about watching a movie and cuddling. Well she tells me she can't make it tonight, because her ex bf has been acting crazy. They are friends and she said something like... He is being crazy and she needs to fix it because it is going to steer her crazy and she doesn't know what else to do. She says she likes me and wants to hang out. She said she felt really bad and not to take this the wrong way. she also said she has to do something about it or it wont cease. I didn't really know what to say back to that, but I like this girl. I didn't make it seem like it bothered me and told her to do what she has to do. Told her to let me know when she is free and that sick just make other plans for the night. I mean it doesn't sound like a excuse to me, because I don't think someone would go that far to say something like that. Do you think I should just let her receive back at me to look if she is interested or just clip it off?

Open Question: I get uncomfortable when my mom touches me in anyway, what's wrong with me?

It every started when I was a little girl, every time my mom would even touch my shoulder or do my hair, or just touch me at every, I'd receive a strong feeling to just tug away. Even now that I'm 24 years old I receive the same feeling. For instance just awhile ago she was helping me fix my hair and I made up an excuse so that I could receive away. I adore my mom you know, but I'm not sure why I receive like this, is something wrong with me: Well the problem is my mom has never really tried to show me affection. Except when i was an baby, but when I grew up, I can count on one hand how many times my mom has tried to hug or kiss me. I never got any affection from my mom growing up , I'm 24 years old and on my possess now. I've tried to break the cycle and every once in awhile I try to hug and kiss her but she seems really uncomfortable as well. Its like my mom has to force herself to show me any affection.

Open Question: What should i do with my BF?

I and my boyfriend are going out for about two years now. Since the beginning he told me he has trust issues and that i should be honest with him. Which i didn't, as he installed a key-logger on my computer and he found that i was (only) chatting with some guys i used to date and been intimately with (quite a few as I had some nice of hippie period. We got over it and i made everything possible to regain his trust. Then I discovered he has a password on his blackberry, which he wouldn’t share (gave me stupid reasons for it) plus he always hides his phone from me and that it is nice of embarrassing when other people are around. Before our 1 year anniversary he told me that he wants me to move out of his home and after our planned holiday we broke up for good. 1.5 month later he made efforts to receive back together, which we did. And then whole new fights about moving together and then we came to a settlement: we would nice of live together (he is referring to his home as "our place") but i would spend every Wednesday at my place. I forgot to tell you that the dude has a little bit of an alcohol problem: he drinks every day, but he gets drunk only in the weekends when, if i say something that he doesn't like, he becomes verbally aggressive. So our last Wednesday apart, he called me (we talk a lot on the phone in “hisfree day") and he was really drunk. I've asked him how the heck can you receive drunk on your possess....it's so lame, but let's say that what he told me, didn't make much sense then. Now i look that he's changed his Facebook password.... PS after he found about my chats, he left his computer on and i found that he was doing the same thing and he excused himself by saying that he did it because of what he saw on my computer. Then i found out lots of bad stuff about him..Like he basically used to be a cheater and assume he still is. So my questions are: 1. I know everybody values privacy but what the heck is this guy so afraid of? 2. Does every this mean he just doesn't care about me that much and that his extreme pride and self-adore are so much more important than my feelings? As right now i feel like his facebook account and f* phone are more important to him than me. 3. How can I ever trust him? I want that so badly!!! 3. What should I do when he swears me when he is drunk and the next morning says that he doesn’t remember 1 thing? 4. Is it a mistake that I have gotten back with him or that I am continuing this relationship knowing that I don’t ever what him as a husband or as the dad of my future kids. I am 24 and he is 30. Although i might have pictured him as a really bad guy, whenever our Egos are not involved, we receive along awesome: making each other giggle and basically resembling so much to each other. Sorry for my long post but these things are tormenting me for so long. I want to snooze at night and wake up not worrying about what do to anymore. Thanks guys.

Open Question: Isn't the New Age typical of man taking credit for something he didn't do?

The Book says the Holy Spirit would be poured out on us, and we will prophecy, have visions, and dreams. And Christ said there is nothing we will not find out about before He returns. We will be without excuse. No one will be able to say he or she didn't know any better.

Open Question: I can't connect to my nephew, he annoys me and I feel guilty about this, help. Can anyone relate?

I have a 7 year old nephew. I also have a child of my possess. I used to adore my nephew when he was a baby, but as he's gotten older he annoys me now. I feel guilty to admit that but it's the truth, because he's just a child and I realize that this is not his fault. Part of this stems from the fact that his mom (my sister) constantly pacifies his bad behavior and reinforces it. He would toss fits at my daughter's birthdays because he wanted it to be HIS birthday, he wanted to blow out the candles, he would always try to open her gifts, etc. Instead of calmly telling him that it wasn't his birthday, or that those were not his gifts, my sister would giggle it off as to not upset him further. This has pretty much been the jist of his whole life -- she will do whatever it takes to NOT upset him, even if it means that it affects other people. To give you a further example, she showed up tardy to my wedding ceremony, and only stayed about 10 minutes into the reception because my nephew started acting up. Again, instead of dealing with the tantrum in some form or fashion, she just bolted. For years she never even went out with him because of his tantrums. I'm sleepy of constantly hearing excuses for his behavior. I know it's none of my business because he's not my child, but I admit that his bratty behavior makes me feel distant from him and I don't like to hang around him. My daughter on the other hand loves to be with him. She's 3 years younger and she follows him around and wants to play with him. Many times he'll blow her off, or tells his mom he's bored and wants to leave (after we just got there), or again just acts bratty towards my daughter. My sister just down plays it and says "oh he's in a bad mood." Well he's been in a "bad mood" since birth according to her.....literally, she says that every the time. So how do I handle my possess personal feelings about this? I know I'm the adult and I know better. And I do understand that he's the child, and it's not his fault that his mom can't set limits or tutor him manners. I don't expect a child to act perfect 100% of the time, but if that were my daughter, I would (and do) tutor her how to behave in public, or around other kids, or around family etc. She's younger than he is, yet can handle her emotions better because of it. What do I do about my feelings?

Open Question: This girl IS CRAZY!!?

haha thats just the title. Okay so im taking this class at a local college and found this girl i thought was really cute and sat next to her. I talked to her a little bit however, I discovered she had a boyfriend so that was pretty much the end of that. I mean it that it just came up in conversation. i didnt ask her out or anything although if i didnt find that out I would have asked her out. There's another girl who sits on the other side of the room that i think is cute but im really not sure how to talk go up and start a converstation with her. Its not like i can just go sit next to her because everyone pretty much sits in the same seats. The class is just a boring lecture with everything outlined on the syllabus and nothing more so i really dont have any excuse to go talk to her. Im in college and and have never had a girlfriend and im not really every that great with talking to girls which is in part due to my shyness. I really dont want to be single anymore. So any advice on how I can approach this girl and start a conversation and possibly receive her number. There are only 3 classes left then the exam so i need to act quickly.

Resolved Question: Ramadan: What are 10 things that nullify ones faith?

As-Salaamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh brothers and sisters, I was reading this one Islamway so i thought id pass it along :) The Things that Nullify One’s Faith Brothers and sisters! You must be aware that there are things that nullify your Islam. We will mention here the ten most common ones. Please be mindful of them. The First: Associating partners with Allah (shirk). Allah, the Most High says: {إِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ} “Truly, whoever associates partner with Allah, Allah will forbid him the Garden, and his abode will be the flame, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers” [Surah al-Maa`idah (5):72]. Invoking the dead, asking their help, or offering vows and sacrifices to them are every forms of shirk. The Second: Setting up intermediaries between oneself and Allah, making supplication to them, asking their intercession with Allah, and placing one’s trust in them is an act of unbelief (kufr). The Third: Anyone who does not consider polytheists (mushrikeen) to be unbelievers, who has doubts concerning their unbelief, or considers their ways to be correct, is himself an unbeliever (kaafir). The Fourth: Anyone who believes that some guidance other than the Prophet’s guidance is more perfect or a judgement other than the Prophet’s judgement is better has become an unbeliever. This applies to those who prefer the rule of the taaghoot over the Prophet’s rule. Some examples are: (a) To believe that systems and laws made by human beings are better than the Sharee‘ah (legislative system) of Islam, for example: i) That the Islamic system is not suitable for application in the twenty-first century. ii) That the Islamic system is the cause of backwardness of Muslims. iii) Or that Islam is only a relationship between a man and His Lord and does not have any relations with other aspects of life. (b) To say that the implementation of the commands of Allah in regards to the fixed punishments (Hu-dood) prescribed by Allah, such as cutting off the hand of a thief or stoning an adulterer, is not suitable in this day and age. (c) To believe that it is permissible to rule by a law other than what Allah has revealed in Islamic transactions, matters of criminal justice or other affairs, even if he does not believe that such rulings are superior to the Sharee‘ah. This is because by doing so he would be declaring as permissible something which Allah made impermissible. Anyone who regards as permissible something that Allah has made impermissible, such as adultery, drinking alcohol, usury, and similar things whose prohibition is common knowledge; such a person has become an unbeliever according to the consensus of every Muslims. The Fifth: Anyone who hates anything that the Messenger (peace be upon him) has declared to be lawful has nullified his Islam, even if he were to abide by it and act upon it. Allah says: {ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ} “This is because they disliked what Allah has re-vealed, so their deeds are brought to nothing.” [Surah Muhammad (47):9] The Sixth: Anyone who mocks Allah, His Book, His Messenger (peace be upon him) or any other aspect of Allah’s religion has indeed become an unbeliever. Allah says: {قُلْ أَبِاللهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ * لاَ تَعْتَذِرُواْ قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ} “Say: Is it Allah, His Signs and His Messenger that you are mocking. Make no excuse: you have disbe-lieved after your (profession of) faith.” [Surah at-Tawbah (9):65-66] The Seventh: The practice of magic, which includes the act of separating between a husband and wife by turning his adore for her into hatred, or tempting a person to do things he dislikes through devilish arts. Anyone who engages in such acts or is pleased with it is outside the circle of Islam. Allah, the Most High says: {وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولاَ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلاَ تَكْفُرْ} “The two angels (Haaroot and Maaroot) did not tutor anyone (magic) without warning them: ‘In-deed, we are a trial, therefore, do not disbelieve.’ ” [Surah al-Baqarah (2):102] The Eighth: Supporting and aiding the polytheists against the Muslims. Allah says: {وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ} “He among you who supports them becomes one of them. Truly, Allah does not guide the people who do wrong.” [Surah al-Maa`idah (5):51]. The Ninth: Anyone who believes that some people are permitted to deviate from the Sharee‘ah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is an unbeliever, due to the saying of Allah : {وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} “Anyone who seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he will be among the losers.” [Surah Aali ‘Imraan (3):85]. The Tenth: To turn away from the religion of Allah, or those aspects which are necessary in order to remain within its fold, neither learning its precepts nor acting upon it. Allah says: {وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَمَّا أُنذِرُوا مُعْرِضُونَ} “But those who disbelieve turn away from that of which they are warned.” [Surah al-Ahqaaf (46):3]. It makes no difference whether such violations are committed jokingly, seriously, or out of fear, except if they are done below a state of compulsion. We seek refuge in Allah from those deeds that entail His wrath and severe punishment. (I dont know why the tenth did not post!) quite annoying and i only just noticed lol.

Open Question: periods and GUY roommates soo embarrassing :x?

Open Question: Question(s) about a non Jew regularly attending synagogue?

This might at first seem like an odds question, but I'm sure it will make sense to those who are reading and could provide a good answer. I've been going to a synagogue fairly regularly for about 6 months (though not over the summer, as there aren't enough people around to have services) most of the people there know I'm not Jewish, and defiantly the lay leadership does, and they have been very welcoming of me and supportive of me. I even found myself the only lay person at one service! I make my way around well and had been studying Judaism generally for the last year or so before I went. Over the summer I have/am beginning to learn the alpeh-bet, to read (and hopefully eventually talk) hebrew. You might ask 'What are your intention of attending?". Well- I'm not exactly sure. I feel a strong attraction and agree with Jewish Theology- and most of every, philosophy and tradition and try to make parts of it a part of my life. When I don't go, saturdays feel empty. As much easier as it would be to just go to a church- I don't feel at home and I don't agree with them. The synagogue, oddly, feels much more like a welcoming place. That being said, I don't know if conversion is right for me. As much as I try to think of reason and excuses not to- I have many strong feelings against them and know deep down that there is a very special attraction for me to the religion. The main reasons I don't want to being the process right now are because I am currently single and want to receive married. I need to think strongly over such things before I make a jump- and would rather not convert if it meant having a 'half jewish' family and not Jewish kids. Anyways- after every that- How do you/your community feel about non-Jews regularly attending synagogue? Any suggestions for me to grow in my journey? I don't have any Jewish friends and I don't really have anyone to talk to about my situation, so it would be nice to receive some general advice. Thanks everybody! :)

Open Question: How come whenever me and my boyfriend come close to having sex, I get too nervous to do it?

It's happened over 3 times. I'm sure he's getting annoyed by now. We talked about it today, and he said he'd wait as long as I want..but I don't WANT to wait. Don't say I'm nervous because I'm not ready, or because I'm too young, or anything of that. I know its not that. I know its normal to be nervous, but I receive so nervous its impossible to receive myself to do anything. If its not the nervousness of losing my virginity, its my self-conciousness, if its not that, its that people are in the home. I always think of an excuse and can never relax. Help? What the hell am I doing wrong to make me think these things?

Open Question: Have you met a guy who is completely devoted to you?

I thought I might have met such a guy but I am doubting him now... he's always looking at girls n surfs online sites to look various type of girls n escort website. I know in this cyber age you might think that this is passe n I am being sensitive. BUT as lady, none of us want these. We might 'accept' them and guys generally like to say it is normal because other guys do it too. For my personal conclusion, I still wish to meet an 'old fashion' man who actually devotes n spend his time n effort on his career or healthy hobbies. I am in Singapore and so far i have met many men but none is to what I really want. I don't want expensive gift but just a man who only has eyes on me; not a man who think of surfing porn, looking at other lady, surfing for women n women related sites online, flirting with any nice lady that arrive along etc. Many men would say that it is normal but what is normal? Normal is what most men define? I think it is no excuse. Maybe I am a dreamer but I wish to meet a guy who is devoted like in the stories (no i m not stuck in fairy tales) and i think this guy would do well in his career, family etc.

Open Question: Do I tell the nail technician to stop talking?

Sometimes when I receive my nails done, the technicians pause in the middle to either talk to each other or they look at the TV and giggle at something (they're Vietnamese, so I don't know what they're saying). They will sometimes pause for 3-4 minutes while holding my hand still - instead of continuing to work while they're dilly dallying around. It's not a big deal, but do I have a right to say something? Should I say "excuse me, I can't waste time here, can you please not take a break". what am I supposed to say when they just cease in the middle to talk to each other. Doesn't the client arrive first? It's not like it's a business matter, it seems because they don't receive up to fix or tend to anything - they just sit there talking to each other with blank looks on their faces. Should I say something next time or be patient?

Open Question: what do you think of my writing and how can i improve it?

Please note, this is just a first draft, so no my puncuation and capital letters and speech are not supposed to be right. :) Everybody loves their best pal right? Mm, so did I, a lot. We'd do everything together me and Laura, nothnig could seperate us and we vowed to be best friends forever and ever, I know that sometimes promises break and things change, but we'd been best pal for so long it was difficult for em to belive that anything would change betwen me and her. But things did, so much it breaks my heart to talk about soem of the tragic events that happened to her, and this is how it started. "Hey there! arrive sit down!" said an enthusiatic girl from the other side of the classroom, in a rush to receive away from everyone staring at me as my teacher introduced me i ran over and sat down, flushed. "Hi," I mummbled nervously, i could feel my hands shaking violently below the table as i sat there, staring straight ahead at some of the display work stuck on the top of some crumbling paint by bluetack in what i think was an attempt to cover up the needy appearence of the wall. I could feel the girl next to me staring at me, and i instantly felt paranoid, worrying i had something ridiculous on my face, or something stuck onto my blazer, i blushed ever harder. "Hey, are you ok? You look nice of nervous, no offence! Don't worry , i was scared on my first day too, what lessons have you got?" "Oh um.." I searched around in my bag in wish to find my time table, but there were to much rubbist in there, old drawings, pencils, rubbers, and a load of old treasurs i had forgotten about. I faced the girl once again, "I can't find my timetable, i'm not sure. I think i have um, english next," Obviously I had no idea if i was gonig to be doing english next, but i had to say somethnig didn't i? "Ah, i think you'll find you've either got science or maths next, haha," "oh...right." I said with a half hearted attemt of a giggle. "Excuse me girls, can we focus please?" Said Mrs May to us, great now everyones staring at me, AGAIN. I turned my seat round, facing directly at miss, hoping that the girl would receive the message to cease talking. Before i knew it class was over, as soon as Mrs May dismissed us everyone rushed straight to the door, getting quite painfully squished as i could look. every except one, one girl who stood right in the same place, her eyes on me. She was about my height (quite tiny) she had long chesnut brown hair that fell softly in loose curls down to her waist and had the most beautiful piercing blue eyes i'd ever seen, i doubt any boy would have been able to resist her.I walked slowly with my head down to the door, and i could look she was following me. Once i was out, she tapped me ever so gently on the shoulder, "Hey," she said quietly "You need some help to find your next class?" I felt so glad that someone was willing to help me, that other girl was off in a flash, obviously she took the message that i didn't want to talk to her a bit to far, "Actually, i'm not really sure what my next class is!" I smiled, " We better receive going then hadn't we?" and with one flick of her hair, she linked my arm tightly and pulled me along to my next lesson.
