Open Question: i am "too nice" .. it is hurting me! i need help?

ok well i am 20 and im a waitress and im not shy, i would say, though a couple people said i was. i dont think i am shy. im not soft spoken and i initiate conversations and at work i tell people, your closing! i dont want to! im sleepy.. but if they arrive up with an excuse... like, i have to wake up at 6am for my other job! or i dont feel good or whatever they arrive up with, or if my boss comes to me and asks if i am closing, i just say it doesn't matter... i dont care anymore. i dont think i am shy, i just think i am too nice. i don't know how to say no. whatever anybody wants, i give it to them. there is one dude that works with us he is 100% LAZY whenever he goes on break, he just hangs on his iPhone and he tells me what he ordered for dinner and i serve it to him.. when he can!! ... i feel like i dont know how to say no. he calls me over when i am on my phone or doing whatever just so he can be lazy. i dont know what to say, because i dont know what is causing this... but people even tell me that I am too nice!! and i just want that to end. I want to be respectable like everyone else. I mean, people respect me... But, i dont know... maybe you understand where i am coming from? Any advice? I appreciate it! :)

Open Question: why are people in the USA,Australia and the UK like this?

people in these country's are self-centred and expect everything and do nothing, they also complain about everything and alot of them are overweight and make countless excuses for being overweight and hate on the fit and healthy people out of jealously and demand that fit people find them attractive when fit people worked difficult to be fit and healthy and we have a RIGHT to find who we want attractive! i have a few mates who live in europe and when they arrive here they are very surprised that australians are like this, they ask me why but i do not have a answer for them, do you have a answer for me?

Open Question: Will it be too late for me to learn the violin?

Ok, so I adore the violin and I've always wanted to play. The problem is I can't find a teacher. I've advertised in the paper more than once and received no replies. There is NO ONE in this pathetic excuse for a town that teaches violin. However, after year 12 I'm moving to the city where no doubt I'll be able to find a teacher but by that time I'll be 18. Will I be too old to master the violin?

Open Question: Why isnt he chasing me? Is he dumb?

I approached this guy drunk one night and asked him why he never talked to me. He asked me out but I made up excuses the first 2 times so he started ignoring my texts. I went to him and said I was sorry and asked him to meet me for a drink. He did and we went out but I had my friends with me. Anyway we had fun, and he later asked me out again but I told him I just wanted to be friends. He said that was fine and wished me well. So I look him at this bar on Fridays sometimes and 1 night after I said we should be friends I went up and told him I was drunk, but he didnt seem too impressed. So I went home with another guy and made sure he saw me. I actually slept with this guy that night which was a mistake, but I just wanted to receive my real interests attention! Anyway I fully expected him to chase after me but he hasn't called back since that night I went home with the other guy! It's been 3 months now, why hasnt he called? I look him around town and he just waves at me. Its driving me crazy! Is he stupid or something? Didnt he realize I was playing difficult to receive? What should I do?!

Open Question: my friends parents really don't like me....advice?

this is really difficult to explain so here goes (sick call my pal 'm')....... ok one of my friends (m), she doesn't have that many friends so, you know how when your at home and your like to you parents 'oh um (insert friends name here) did this today and she went here etc etc' well she obviously does that but mainly just about me and another pal. also i receive good marks for tests and M doesn't always do that great, so M used to call me up sometimes and i would help her revise and study but you could hear her parents shouting at her in the background to cease talking to me and receive off the phone. also i know that i have things or am allowed to do things that M and her sister aren't, they are only tiny things but her parents are quite strict, they are things like i have 2 ear piercings (she was barley allowed to receive 1), i have an iphone (i paid for some) and they think that its stupid, a laptop that i use for assignments and work, and im allowed to go places and stuff she isn't, i think that they think that if i want something then i receive it (which i don't). the other day my M and i were sitting in class and she was telling me how she wanted to use the camera to take picture of something to show me and her dad asked what for, and she said for olivia (me) and he then said definitely not! and she told me that she reckons that he thinks she looks up to me as a role model and i agree with her. she also said that her parents don't really like me much. it's not like im rude or anything, i am very nice and polite when i go over there and she always comes over here when her mum can find no one to look after her. so any idea on how to receive back on her parents good side (i don't look them very often) without going 'oh excuse me but um why do you hate me?' so do you suggest me doing anything?

Open Question: My ex resents me, because he can't find anyone better. What would you say to them?

My ex left me a couple months ago (without giving any excuse) but I later found out it was because he decided that he wanted to go back to his on and off dysfunctional relationship with his ex girlfriend. Now he just sent me a message on Facebook saying that I ''set the bar too HIGH'' and now that he is back with her, he hates it. I have not even replied, but I really want to say something witty and straight to the point. He left me without a word, we were together for a little below a year, I would do anything for him and his family. I really went every out in that relationship by trying my best to be a good person to him. I can even say I tried too difficult, I cooked for him, I was a shoulder to sob on, I helped him receive a job, I even picked him up from work b/c he didnt have a car (it was WAY out of my direction) and did so much more every because I just wanted him to be glad, ...in fact I could go on and on about the things I did while I was with him but there is no need living in the past. I did those things out of the kindness of my heart and even though I didnt receive much back from him, I can never regret being a nice person. I tried talking to him about why he just clip me loose and he would not give me a reason. He only gave me one word answers. I had never been so hurt before and I reached out to him one more time, just asking to talk and he said I should "Leave him the f*** alone" just like that, in the rudest way possible. Now he has the audacity to tell me that he is hurt and mad because he thought that him and his (ex or gift girl) could have worked it out, but he can't help but to compare the two of us. He says he would like to talk to me and explain what happened. He is mad because he thought the grass was greener! I really want to curse him out, but I don't have the energy. What would you say to that or would you even respond?

Open Question: Theists, atheists are often mentioning how it's wrong that God causes suffering of babies...?

...and theists then make excuses for God. So which of us are the true moral relativists ? Ok, atheists say that IF God existed, then He'd be a bastard for causing the suffering of babies. Better ?

Open Question: Excuse me, what is the answer to this?

Greetings. This afternoon I was speed walking down the road and overheard a youngster say "damn blood those are some weak ass motha fuckin jeans" I bobbed my head to the left and my eyes sent a message to my brain revealing the sight of a young black skinned boy. He was approximately 18 years of age and slumped up against the light pole. The youngster was fitted with a jean that could fit 3 extra legs. I thought to myself "does he think his legging is superior to my legging because of the difference in width?". My brain thought "What are the advantages of a jean with that circumference? Do the several inches add some nice of beneficial ability that slim fit can't achieve?". His statement was so bold it was audible to everyone in a 15 foot radius, surely there must be something that I am missing out on. My question is, what are the benefits of wearing a very loose fit jean?

Open Question: When excusing themselves to the W.C., why do SOME feel compelled to DETAIL which business they will perform?

This may have been one motive behind the distinction language invented to designate which personal elimination business was No. 1 and which was No. 2 -- i.e. so the audience would understand fully what was about to happen. But my point is -- when one is excusing themselves, say from the dinner table or an evening out in public with others, to go the W.C. to take care of their personal business, why do some go the extra step of TELLING you which business they will be doing in your absence? Doesn't this fall below the category of TOO MUCH INFORMATION? Yet some people obviously think these are important details that others must know or else something significant will have been missed. WHY!!!??? Do you somehow LOSE STATURE if your personal business includes something more complicated than a quick trip for No. 1, i.e. you may take longer since there is more serious No. 2 business to be dealt with? Is THIS why some people PRONOUNCE what they will be doing in the W.C., so as to not disappoint with any expectations for your speedy return? I have always been perplexed by this habit of some to share these personal details with a polite group of adults. I sense that some people believe they are so incredibly fascinating in every regards, that the world WANTS to know these details so they will not be MISSING A THING in terms of what is going on with you! And in the age of Twitter, does pronouncing which business you are about to perform (or have performed) in a Tweet to your Followers qualify as something valid they really want to hear about? (i.e. "Just did No. 2 -- back now.") Or are there some things we really don't need to share with others?

Open Question: Why is he ignoring me?

A really close of pal of mine won't talk to me anymore every of a sudden. He tries to find out my faults and stuff to try to cease talking to me. I try to talk to him and he says he won't talk to me cause I'm spoiled etc but that's not even a good excuse. I think he's just making some excuses up. every I know is that he really likes me, so I don't understand why he's avoiding me by ignoring me. He even deleted me from his friends list :/ I liked him at one point and he knew that. I think he still thinks I like him and I don't.

Open Question: I told her I love her. I've never been more afraid of life than now. Did you feel the same?

A few nights ago, my girlfriend and I had a battle. We fought about us not being able to receive a place together. She cries and leaves. Turns out, her dad passed and she wanted to tell me, but because of our battle, she refrained. I went to her place to apologize where she then informed me of his passing. I try to comfort her as we talk about his death. He had a 4th heart attack. Having experienced losing my dad, I sympathize with her the best I can. It eases her to some degree, but not much. However, she asked me if I loved her. I told her I liked her very much... We've only been together 3 months. I really liked her a lot, but that was an excuse I have learned to recognize. It upset her when I told her, and I think I was being greedy. I asked a question previously, and a lady named Margaret K pointed out a few things that I didn't recognize that I was doing. My dad died of alcoholism. My mom cheated on him and I didn't want the same to become of me. I didn't trust women for the longest time. I am 24, and this girl was my first girlfriend. I thought I was doing everything right by taking it slow. She is exactly like me in every way -- I guess I was just scared. I had a long talk with my mom about my dad and her after Margaret K mentioned certain things I was doing. It felt really good -- as if the world was removed from my shoulders. I learned to accept that things happen when you live life -- just try to do your best and not let the mistakes of others dictate your future. It took me 24 years and the help of people on Yahoo! Answers to learn that. For that, I thank you every. All of you. I do not let the past decide what I do for my future anymore. After realizing this, I became closer to my mom, and I am actually starting to like life. I am not a p_ssed off person anymore. I feel absolute. After talking with my mom, I wanted to do for my girlfriend what every Czech boy does for the girl he announces his adore for: a cherry blossom held high over her head as he kisses her, preserving her beauty forever. I bought a waxed-preserved cherry blossom to take to her. When I got to her place, she was nice of hesitant to talk to me. She actually just told me that I should just leave. I was feeling great, even though she told me to leave. I told her I had something to say, and she should hear. I told her how I truly felt about my dad and mom, and how I was afraid to end up the same. We talked about everything. It was about 3 hours before I was able to do what I came to do. When I did, I stood up and removed it from my hoodie. She asked what it was, and I told her there is a Czech tradition that every Czech boy does for his girlfriend. I held it high over her head, and I kissed her for the longest time. Then, I handed her the blossom, told her beauty is preserved forever as the blossom is preserved within the wax. I then told her that I loved her. I am not a sadist, but when she started crying, I couldn't help but like it. I don't know. I guess it was because she was crying out of joy rather than sadness for a change. It has been pretty difficult on her the last few days with the loss of her dad. I don't know. But now, I feel like my skin is tightening around my bones. I feel so very scared to lose her now. I never thought I would actually be able to adore a girl like I do her. She is just like me -- we share more commonalities than the ocean shares with the sea. I know what she is thinking without her even telling me...same with her. Did any of you feel the same when you announced your adore? This is my first adore, and I am more afraid to lose her than my possess life. I feel so free, yet so attached... Is this a normal feeling? I know I am inexperienced, but it took me a long time to receive here to this point. Also, thanks to every of your for your help in every of my previous questions. I have gained more knowledge from you every than those dearest to me. For that, I thank you and am in your debt forever.

Open Question: Would this be considered a date?

So, a little background: we've been friends for a while and went out a few times over a year ago,but have been good friends since then and we go to lunch/dinner every the time. Last night, we went to dinner (because he works until 5), but instead of meeting at the restaurant, he picked me up (because he just bought a new car) and then he paid for me (only because I didnt have change for a $20)... So, do you think these excuses, in parenthesis are valid excuses, and it was just a pal dinner, or do you think it was a date?

Open Question: How to hack someones WoW account if you know the password buy not the username?

I need to hack into my ex's WoW account and completely screw it up, i know his password for it, but not the username and I need to know if there's anyway I can figure that out. Oh, and this is why... He cheated and lied to me our entire relationship, only went out with me because he enjoyed trying to steal me from someone else, tried to snooze with my friends, tried to receive his friends to snooze with me so he'd have an excuse to break up with me (which didn't work) oh, yeh and I'm having hi baby in two weeks. Basically WoW is every he has other than weed, an I'd rather not do anything illegal to receive back at him, thanks.

Open Question: Bad cramps, Typical signs, No period?

I'm really worried. every night last night, and this morning, I've been having very bad stomach cramps. I took some ibuprofen a few minutes ago, and that helped slightly. I barely slept last night due to the pain. I think this may be just a stomach ache, but I'm not sure. Last month, in February, my period didn't arrive. The last period I had was January 17 - January 23. I had rather heavy bleeding, and minor cramps. There's NO chance that I'm pregnant. Also, I had the flu a few weeks ago, and took nyquil for it. I went to the doctor, but she said not to worry. Any idea what may be wrong? (Also, excuse my grammar today. As I said, I barely slept.) Also, I'm about average weight, possibly a few pounds extra, nothing big though. My periods usually arrive every month, sometimes twice since I'm very irregular.

Open Question: I feel like I am being forced to tell my employer I am pregnant.....?

I am 8 + 5 with my first. I have only been in this job 4 months. There are a lot of nosey backstabbing unreliable people that work here and today it's every arrive to a head! I am suffering from severe morning sickness and nausea which has resulted in me having a day off work, being tardy into work every morning and obviously me not being myself. I can hardly talk because it makes me want to toss up and people are now looking further into this than what it is. Last Monday I had my first midwife appointment. It was at 4pm for an hour. I do not work anywhere close my Doctors so would have to take at least 3 hrs off work to attend that appointment. As I was feeling green around the gills I decided I would book half day and not rush about. I did tell my manager I was having the half day to attend an docs appointment. I was told I was entitled to attend the Doc appointment without taking holiday but really didn't want to rush about. I think that because I said I would rather have the half day they didn't believe I was attending a Doc appointment as now there is a rumour being spread around that I am actually attending interviews and looking for a new job - which could not be further from the truth. It's every blown up today, I mentioned to my manager that this person was spreading rumours and asked her to have a silent word for me with the colleague - that turned into the lady coming down after and having a go at me about going to my manager when it wasn't her that started the rumour. My doctor telephoned me at work to discuss my sickness (as I couldnt receive an appointment) - he said there and then he wanted to sign me off - I am coming in to work everyday to avoid causing disruption to my colleagues but feel now that I don't know why I am being so nice - every I am getting is stress!! I then got told off for being on the phone to my Doc!! I can't win! I don't want to tell work until I have my scan in April but I feel like I am having to justify my every move! I know that it will not be kept Private if I tell my manager as there are two administrators in HR who adore to gossip and they do it in such a way that no one would think it came from them via them working in HR - as one of these women is the one who started the rumour about me attending job interviews! I don't know how much I can put up with. Can anyone offer me any advice? I am desperate. I didn't want to use my pregnancy as an excuse to be off work - I wanted to continue to work as much as I can - I arrive in after I've thrown up - toss up at work - work - go home - I am even having nosebleeds.

Open Question: Relationship Advice ..really needed.?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost three years. He’s my best pal and the only guy I’ve ever loved. When we first started dating, he won me over by doting on me and being very attentive with lots of phone calls, IMs, and e-mails, thoughtful little gifts, etc. Every time we were both online, he would be sure to send me an IM, even if he couldn’t talk, just to tell me he loved me. Now our relationship has stagnated a bit. He still treats me well but never IMs me or e-mails me,. We talk a couple of times a day and look each other a few times a week. Recently, we’ve been fighting about Instant Messenger. He works at a desk much of the day and is almost always signed on to his Instant Messenger. I guess I’m still stuck in our past and I always expect a sweet IM from him, but it never comes. I’ve talked to him about it and he always has an excuse. Every day, he gets on MySpace and God knows what else but can’t find the time to send me ONE IM (because that’s every I ask for, just so I can know he’s thinking about me). The thing is, I feel so strongly about this that we’ve fought about it the past several days. I’ll wait for him to send me a message and he never does, so I finally IM him, usually with a pouty message. Then we have an argument where he makes excuses and I accuse him of not caring. I push the issue and push the issue and it drives him nuts and stresses him out. We’re both miserable right now. I know I’m pushing him away, but I’m not having my needs met. He’s not living up to the standards HE created in the beginning of the relationship. I also keep demanding that he break up with me. I tell him I know I’m making him miserable and he should leave me. I don’t think it’s because I really want to break up. I just want him to chase me like he used to. I just want to feel WANTED. Am I being ridiculous? Do I have unreasonable expectations? I know I’m probably being self-destructive in the way I’m going about this. How do I receive what I need without making him miserable? I adore him so much, he’s an amazing guy, but I just don’t feel very loved or even wanted right now. The thing, I just.. I don't know, and I hate admitting this but I am ..so, terribly stubborn that I don't know if I can approach him to apologize. I kept on pushing him away, telling him in every way to break up and move on and today, I guess he did. He said, "fine, this is obviously what you've wanted this whole time, so I wish you're glad about it. I don't understand why you did this and I don't think I ever will. Just leave me alone, then. Goodbye." This broke my heart. I had it coming. I brought it upon myself- I literally, quite literally drove him to those exact words. So I just.. let it end there? I just let him go? I know I've made a horrendous mistake, I just don't know how to put aside my ever-gift pride and to make things right again. And well.. judging from what he wrote, I think it's too tardy anyway, isn't it?

Open Question: Relationship advice needed?

So, for the past couple of years I've known this beautiful lady. We're best of friends, and deep down inside I know we know each other on a more intimate level. She admits she knows we're perfect for each other as well as continually stating how much she adores me, but when I bring up a relationship between us she comes up with excuses of why she doesn't want to date me. I think she doesn't want to date me NOW because she knows when we receive together, we will stay together for a very long time. Other people I talk to say I just need to let her go through her trivial, fly-by-night relationships until she realizes what she could have with me. What do you think, should I wait it out, or push the relationship idea on her?

Open Question: are these problems too much to overcome? confused about this man i dated.?

ok, here's the thing. we appear to share the same spiritual beliefs. he's very tender, nurturing and treats me like a queen. we could talk about anything. relationship for 4 months, and i broke up with him. he hasn't stopped sending poems, adore songs, roses, etc...he continues to proclaim his adore for me.....here are the problems: 1) i walked in once and caught him with my wallet in his hand. he had taken it out of my purse when i was in another room...had a lame excuse for the reason (but i honestly don't think he was looking for money)....2) he had a sexual dysfunction that i couldn't figure out....3) he was very quick moving with the relationship. i miss the wonderful connection we had, but can't receive past these other issues...what's your take? i really did feel adore for him. he definitely talks a good talk, seems very sincere, desperately wants to be with me...maya angelou says "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." should i give a second chance or no? sidenote: he's in his tardy 40's.

Open Question: Ahh, friend problem...?

Hi! This may be a little long so thankyou for reading if you do. Well I've known this group of girls for so long now, like my whole life. And I made friends with another girl in highschool. Let's call her A. I eventually came back to my old group as I realised I needed them. At the end of that year, A's friends ditched her. I thought this was so bad, and I brought her into our gorup. Worst mistake. I have a best pal, B, in the group whom briefly became besties with A for a while. There was me, A & B in our little separate group but still cojoined to the other 3 girls. I got to know B a little better & wished I hadn't. She is the most terrible pal. Backstabbing, lying, undreliable. She ditches you whenever she has a better 'offer'. Just plain mean, really. A and I have had several big battle in the past year due to this. But she keeps coming back begging to be my pal again & I am too stupid & nice to say no. B knows this too. In fact, every of my group does. Just recently, a girl my group (inc. me) knew from when I was little came back to our school (let's call her C) & I guess this gave B an excuse to receive away from A. So B doesn't talk to A much, and A is basically clinging to me 24/7. I'm in a lot of her classes so I can't just ditch her. But tonight, she said something that was not necessary. She just passed the line & I let every my feelings for her from the past year out. She disagrees that she treats me like dirt. She doesn't agree with anything. She thinks she is the best pal ever. Then she pulled out the 'i adore you, you are my best pal blahhhhh' and I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I jsut can't. She has hurt me so bad,and I feel so bad for saying every this but she treats me the wrong way, I've never done anything to deserve this. So basically, B & I kinda want her outta our group. I know that's harsh, but we ahve given her so many chances and she continues to stretch our trust too far etc. We have had enough. I am not the type of person to ever say anything mean to anyone or express my feelings, so this is obviously pretty bad. Please help! Thanks :)

Open Question: Shouldn't my sister be punished too?

I got home the other night 10 minutes after curfew (My curfew is 12) because I accidentally lost track of time at the party, so I got home at 12:10 am. I ended up getting grounded from my car for two weeks for only breaking curfew by 10 minutes ! Here's what I find unfair .. My sister who's only a year older (she's 17) got home 30 minutes after curfew (Her curfew is 12:30 and she got home at 1am) because she had to wait around for someone to arrive and boost her car since the battery died and she didn't receive in trouble at every ! Shouldn't she be prepared for that ? I think it's a lame excuse to miss curfew. Like, I break curfew by 10 minutes and it's only the 2nd time I've ever done it and I'm grounded, she breaks it by a half hour for the dumbest reason ever and my parents don't care. What do you think ? Shouldn't my sister be grounded too ? Oh and worst of every for my punishment, I'm not even allowed in my sisters car to receive a steer to school - I have to take the school bus.

Open Question: Regarding all I hear of God or godly "entities,"?

I have not found "one," in any holy words that has behaved in perfect "adore." When we kill, it is wrong and we are punished for it, but when a "God" kills, it is not "wrong??" I don't receive it.... Explain to me, why I should excuse it's behaviors or "forgive" them, or that of it's godly peoples throughout the centuries who have killed in it's name, so I too can become a "believer." H - You said, and I quote, "god only loves --he doesn't kill anythin' you've heard to the contrary is in mistake." So you "admit" that what I heard is in "mistake." Where did I hear this? The "Old Testament." Sodom and Gomorrah, the plagues of Egypt, every the people of the world except for Noah and his family. Was it not GOD who "killed?" the peoples in these stories?

Open Question: Abortion... More an essay. But how did you get through it?

Ok, so I'm 16. I fell pregnant in November and I didn't know who to talk to it about, i only realized i could be pregnant mid December. I felt alone and scared about what was going to happen, i had told my best pal about it but she didn't like to discuss with me about an abortion because she didn't feel it was right (bad pal behavior yes.) I wanted to have a pregnancy test but going getting one my self i felt ashamed. me and my best pal were meant to be going to Parallel (a group associated with the NHS) to receive a pregnancy test, but each time she said she would arrive, she would always bail on me with some lame excuse. However I told another pal who had been with me before, that time it was negative though. Me and her went and this time it was positive. I had to go back the week after, so me and her went again, and I had to call a number. The abortion clinic was quite far from home and quite difficult to receive to, and i couldn't go with just a pal, i needed someone who could steer. I would never have told my mum, for i was scared of her reaction. when I was 15 weeks gone, and starting to show, I managed to tell my brothers girlfriend who could steer, and we called the number and arranged an appointment, we went and I had a scan, by then I was 16 and a half weeks gone. They then arranged another appointment the week after for me to have my abortion. The night before I was sat at my PC and my mum came into the room, asking me when was my last period. I began to panic abit and just replied with 'I don't know'.. She then sat down besides me asking me 'is there something you're not telling me?' She wasn't mean about it though, she was very calm. But yet I replied with 'I don't know what you're talking about'. A few minutes later I went up to my room, and listened to my iPod. She then came up and lay beside me saying to me 'You can tell me anything you know'. I didn't answer but she knew anyway so there was no point in me denying it. She asked me how far gone I was and I began to sob, but I tried not to show it because I always act so strong. We was then talking about it for about 20-30minutes. She was really supportive. *I'm even crying as I type this* She asked if I wanted her to go with me but I said no, just my brothers girlfriend. I felt bad, I felt like I was telling her I didn't need her, when I did. She packed me some things and went to bed. I didn't snooze that night, I was too scared about what was going to happen. I got there and then they called my name, I was so scared. They took me into a room with bed like chairs, and then made me take some pills. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to though. 3 hours passed and I got took into the room where they do it. They lay me on seat and I started working up a sweat. I was petrified, and then I saw him stick a needle in my hand and that's every I remember. I came back round, got sat down, had a drink of water and I had to run to the toilets to be sick. This happened twice but the 2nd time I didn't quite make it to the toilets -haha. Also my mum had arrive to the centre, she said she 'didn't want to be too far away'. Anyway, Today it has been 2 weeks. and I'm still crying over it and wondering if I shouldn't have done it. and it is killing me - it was worse in the 1st week though. I just receive into those moods where everything p*sses me off, and I sob over nothing. and when I receive upset I think about that, and what may have been in the future. I wasn't in a relationship with the guy whose baby it was, and we hardly even talked. He is now with a good pal of mine anyway. I don't think I will receive over this for a long time, I've also tried committing suicide before, but obviously, that failed. I know suicide isn't the answer it's just stupid, but sometime I just feel like I want to receive away from every the hurt, for good. I was just wondering if anyone else had felt like this, and how they got through it? Thank you for spending your time reading this, and sorry for wasting your time. for that douche there. I wouldn't have been able to give it up for adoption. because i wouldn't be able to give away my possess child. but i wouldn't be able to bring it up, without a dad. i'm too young for a child. oh and if you're just guna be dicks about it, fuck off. can't be arsed with dicks like you. my decision.

Open Question: Why can't I see his activity on my Newsfeed or Recent News?

Well my bf still lists himself as single on facebook and his excuse is that his ex gf makes fake accounts so she can look his facebook, and if she finds out he's taken she will receive really jealous and won't cease bothering him. But I've noticed that my bf will comment on girls' photos and then delete the activity on his profile page. This is because my cousin friended him on facebook and saw him comment on a girl's photo, it appeared on her newsfeed but not mine. Why can't I look his activity on my newsfeed? Isn't it supposed to show up even if he deletes it on his profile page?

Open Question: I WANT TO SCREAM AND DIE?

i was in a relationship with my gf and best pal of 10 years. she cheated on me and left me for an older lady. we stopped talking. she moved in with lady, has lived there ever since. it's been two years..and she strung me on and off lying here and there during that time. but i clip her out of my life...more than once because no matter how many chances she gets, she never changes. for the last 6 months, we started talking again. supposedly they hate eachother. my ex wanted to leave and was supposedly saving to do so. Still wouldn't take my calls when oldwoman was around, and did some other suspicious things. For the last 2 weeks has been swearing to receive out now. and on move out day always has an excuse. Today, after 2 years of bullshit from my ex...i overheard her graveling for the lady "i adore you baby why won't u talk to me, etc". Called her on it. She hung up the phone on me and said it was like that, pulled the usual excuses. Livid, I drove over an hour to go to their apartment. Stupid yes, but I wish I had the balls to do it 2 years ago. She wouldn't open the door. Called my family (who doesn't know im gay, but thinks she's bad bc they know her antics and how I fall for them). I yelled through the glass door at her to just tell me she made her choice once and for every and she picks oldbitch. Mouths to me I pick you, laughs and slams the door in my face. Obviously I leave and steer back home. every the while she texts me that she doesnt pick old, is so sorry for everything and cares more about me than i'd ever know and said if she left with me or opened the door to talk to me old would have stabbed us both. Apparently Old called the cops. Eventhough I didn't do anything. Now if she meant what she said, she'd do whatever it takes to leave now, right? She was so sorry that she booked a 2.5 week vaca with old to FL to visit Olds family. I WANT TO SCREAM. I WANT TO DIE. I AM SO mad. HOW COULD A PERSON BE SO MEAN? every SHE HAD TO DO WAS LET ME GO, INSTEAD OF WORK HER WAY BACK INTO MY LIFE tO LIE EVERY TIME. Does this rage ever subside? How would you feel if this happened to you? What do you do? Does adore arrive again? This was an ABSOLUTE nightmare. I have never done anything ever to that girl except care about her. How can someone be so bad and treat a human like this? AHHH

Open Question: Why do men sometimes think sons are more important than daughters..?

I was watching this show and this man was going to look hes son and daughter he hadn't seen in years and the whole time on the train he kept saying "I'm going to look my son!!!!" and forgetting the daughter even existed. Why do some men do this? Please don't say "He carries the family name" A name is a name. Hardly any women take the man's last name anymore so wackass excuse I've NEVER heard of a lady who treats their daughter better just because she's a female and so is the mom Do they think the sons are more important because they are males or something? This is why I dread having a son incase my husband favors him, I would feel too bad for my daughter so I would rather just have every girls.

Open Question: Adopters, what excuses do you use to justify taking another woman's child?

Have you decided among yourselves that their real mom was "unfit"? And how did you determine unfit-was it based on the fact that she was young, single, needy? Are you truthful at every times to the child you are babysitting? Do you remind them to call you by your names as you are not, in fact, their parents? And how do you ensure that the child knows who their real mom is, and do they know it's acceptable and normal to adore her more than they will ever adore you?

Open Question: Why would they do this?

I am coming to the end of my probation period with my first job since leaving uni. I can't seem to do anything right by them and last week I had a formal warning given. I was given three weeks to improve but now my manager has emailed me to say that the review meeting will be next week. I think they just want an excuse to bag me but I am improving and could continue to do so if given the chance. The letter says I can take someone with me. I asked an employment adviser to help me but she has been on sick this week so has not sent my boss the things she promised. This is not my fault and I am trying to receive her supervisor to contact my boss instead. Any advice would be helpful.

Open Question: How is Israeli settlement expansion fair? and why do Americans and Israelis support it?

I find it very odd that americans dont find anything wrong with settlement expansions from Israel in the West bank. here is the deal 1- Every year on average 240 Palastinians homes receive demolished. No one gets compensated. 2-Palastinians have to ask Israelis permission to build on any land at the same time every Israeli applications are accepted. 3-Israels population last year grew by 1.7 percent, yet settlements grew by 5.6%. 4-Palestinians are not allowed to expand land in any matter they want or reject any Israeli settlement. To make matters even more disgracing The Israeli Priminister says asking Israelis to cease who be like a nazi like method used to prohibit Jews from certain areas!!!! And this is what Americans support? And please dont give me the "well they are terrorist" excuse, because unless you believe EVERY SINGLE palastinian is a terrorist than this is what you are saying: " If you or anyone the same ethnicity as you commits a crime to me or anyone related to me than I have the right to possess your land and demolish your home" And to those who use the "Israel owns the land" excuse than that technically means every whites should receive out of South Africa and Zimbabwie unconditionally WITHOUT reparations. http://www.smh.com.au/world/palestinians-denied-housing-as-israeli-settlements-expand-at-will-20090717-do9q.html Bethy you are a great example of Israel supporters who use anything to justify their needs. Why dont YOU and other anglo-saxon (im assuming) let every homeless Anglo saxons live in Canada? Why should their be homeless white Christians when there is a nation like Canada? Why dont whites in South Africa GTFO to europe and let homeless blacks take their place?

Open Question: Why do Christians say that God does not punish the wicked with AIDS yet believe similar accounts in the Bible?

What was the Great Flood then? Wasn't that God punishing the wicked? Why is that not as distasteful as God using AIDS to punish the wicked? Simply because the Flood was quicker? According to the Bible, didn't God cause disease and pestilence to punish the wicked? What's the difference? If you are going to have a superstitious perspective on God, rather than a rational one, then you might as well be consistent. It's like believing in good spirits and bad spirits (angels and devils). My favourite uncle is a devout Christian in the military who assists missionaries in Africa. He was telling me of a tribe that was afraid of a certain bad spirit that was supposed to be particularly active during a certain time of the year. He chuckled at this. So I asked him, "don't you believe in angels and the devil?" He said, "yes,but that's entirely different". Why is it 'different' or true just because it is in the Bible? Yes, there is much wisdom in books like the Bible and Quran but that doesn't make them the word of God. For the most part, they are the words of well-meaning but primitive and superstitious people, just like Christians and Muslims today. Only today, religious people no longer have the excuse of being primitive. Again, I believe in God. Just not at the expense of abandoning reason.

Open Question: merit increase in salary?

On Monday morning, I was given the news that effective March 10 I would receive a lift of __ percent. This lift came two months before my scheduled performance appraisal. My manager informed me that the basis for the lift was my performance over the past several months and my potential worth to the company. I was told this was a very considerable increase. On Tuesday, me and my co-workers were having our normal coffee break. The conversation turned to salary increases. One member of the group had received a performance review in January, but no indication of an impending salary adjustment had been given. I made a comment concerning the amount of any such increase, specifically questioning the range of increase percentages. A co-worker respond that she was surprised to have received an across-the-board 4 percent increase the previous Friday. A third individual had similar salary increase. Definitely astounded, I pressed for information, only to learn that several people had received increases of “around” 3 to 5 percent. I excused myself and left the group. That evening, I wrestled with my conscience concerning the discussion that day. My first impression of my lift was that it had been given based on performance. My second impression was decidedly sour. Several questions were bothering me. 1.Why did my boss gift the lift as a merit increase? 2.Was job performance really a basis for salary increases in my department? 3.Did my boss hide the truth regarding the lift? 4.Could I trust my boss in the future? 5.On what basis would further increases be issued?
