I got dumped yesterday by my first real girlfriend (of 8 months) I know its early to be looking but i'm worried cause my new job I work on my own for a week on week off. A lot of my m8s are stoners and dont bother socialising in pubs/clubs etc and just have a tight nit group so we dont meet new pepole.
Are there any good dating sites that dont cost a fortune? Or in fact free so you can e-mail people for free and see how you get on. I have thought of joining sites before, but if the person who tickles your fancy isn't a member they cant mail back! So seems like a waste of money joining. I kind of feel I want a relationship again as it will take some of the pain away.
I'm 23 but dont really enjoy clubbing, well I do when i'm there, but im not the sort of person to just go and chat someone up and I just can't dance so I tend to stick away from the club scene. Im worried it may take a long time to get over this girl, especially as I have a lot of time on my hands.

We don't know if you could be pregnant! Go get a test and figure it out yourself! COME ON LADIES! Isn't this the most ridiculous question women ask on here?

Millionaires are so last millennium. The new Forbes 400 list of richest Americans is billionaires only.

If you're net worth is a mere $999 million, forget it. A billion means a thousand million, and that's the Forbes 400 minimum -- up from $900 million in 2005.

Donald Trump and two of his kids grace the Forbes 400 cover, but ranked No. 94 with $2.9 billion, Trump's a long way from No. 1 Bill Gates with $53 billion.

The combined wealth of the 400 richest Americans is a record-breaking $1.25 trillion. That's about the same amount of combined wealth held by the 57 million households who make up half the U.S. population.

The economy is booming for billionaires. It's a bust for many other Americans.

A record 400 Americans are billionaires -- and a record 47 million Americans have no health insurance.

America has 400 billionaires -- and 37 million people below the official poverty line.

The official poverty line for one person was just $9,973 in 2005 (latest data). That wouldn't cover the custom-made men's shoes ($4,128) and Hermes purse ($6,250) on the Forbes Cost of Living Extremely Well Index. The official poverty line of $15,577 for a three-person family is lower than the cost of the Patek Philippe men's gold watch ($17,600).

The Forbes 400 minimum is up $100 million since 2005, but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $5.15 an hour -- just $10,712 a year -- since 1997. GOP leaders in Congress have been holding a raise for minimum wage workers hostage to more giant tax cuts for wealthy inheritors.

Wealth isn't trickling down. It's flooding up -- from workers to bosses, small investors to big, poorer to richer.

The heirs to Wal-Mart founders Sam and Bud Walton have a combined $82.5 billion -- while the children of Wal-Mart workers swell the ranks of state health insurance programs for the neediest.

In today's corporate America, workers see gutted paychecks and pensions despite rising worker productivity, while CEOs get golden pay, perks, pensions and parachutes. The pay gap between average workers and CEOs has grown nine times wider since the 1970s.

The number of billionaires is a record high, but the share of national income going to wages and salaries is at a record low.

U.S. corporate profits increased 21 percent in the past year, Market Watch reported in March. "Profits have been so high because almost all of the benefits from productivity improvements are flowing to the owners of capital rather than to the workers," said Market Watch.

The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans (minimum net worth $6 million) owned 62 percent of the nation's business assets, 51 percent of stocks and 70 percent of bonds as of 2004, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances -- which excludes the Forbes 400. That's way up from 1989, when the wealthiest 1 percent owned 54 percent of business assets, 41 percent of stocks and 52 percent of bonds.

Our growing economy is not producing a growing middle class, but a richer aristocracy.

The high point for median household income -- the income of the household in the middle -- was $47,671 in 1999, adjusted for inflation. In 2005, median household income was $1,345 less at $46,326. In the same period, the Forbes 400 gained more than 100 billionaires.

Government policies are fueling rising inequality. Taxpayers with incomes above $1 million will see their after-tax income grow by about 6 percent this year thanks to tax cuts the nation can't afford.

In an economy where money is flowing up to the very top, even college-educated workers are going backward. Inflation-adjusted median household income was lower in 2005 than 1999 even when the householder had a bachelor's degree, master's degree, professional degree or doctorate.

The problem is much bigger than the rich getting richer, while the poor get poorer. The really rich are getting richer at the expense of most everyone else.

Solutions include restoring the link between rising worker productivity and pay, raising the miserly minimum wage, narrowing the obscene pay gap between workers and CEOs, rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy -- and stop taxing income from work more than income from capital gains.

Two men were scuffling outside a pub when along came a huge Irishman - fists like hams - who started taking his coat off.

'You're fighting about Ireland, aren't you?' he demanded.

'No, no,' said both men in unison. 'Honestly, it's a personal matter, nothing to do with Ireland at all.'

'Huh,' muttered the Paddy, and shuffled off. Two seconds later he was back, tearing off his coat saying:

'So Ireland's not worth fighting about, eh?'

Approximately 10-12 days past ovulation, I started spotting. I spotted for about ten days and then got a very heavy period (passing clots--terrible cramps) for two days. It then subsided into a 'regular' period flow that lasted longer than normal (7 days).

I tested during the spotting twice and got negative results. I would assume it was an annovulatory cycle BUT my breasts were extremely tender and sore during the pre-menstrual spotting. I usually get tender breasts before menstruation but these were out of this world sore.

So, do you think I had an early miscarriage or an annovulatory cycle? I'd love to hear your experience if you you've dealt with either...

Why is it so hard to speak up for some men? Express they are angry, hurt, sad, not happy........why all the pretending? It gets them nowhere.......its like........when you ask a question or are talking about a breakup, some are such mutes.........they dont talk and show no emotion.........is that normal for men? Or was it just my mute of an ex? Heck, I cried my eyes out infront of him, and he sat there and watched tv! Even a gorillia would have patted me on the head or given me his banana or something. Are most guys this way?

I am 21, my best friend is 28. When we first me about 6 months it was the best thing to happen in my life. We did everything together. One night at a party while she was sitting on my lap she leaned over all the sudden and started kissing me. We fooled around for a week or so, this was about 3 months ago. We thought about getting together, but she decided that the age difference was too big. We are still best friends, but when I go on dates all I can think of is her. I think she knows how I feel, but I truly do want to be with her... I'm stuck and I don't know what to do.
