You are presented with 2 fuses (lengths of string) each of which will burn for exactly 1 minute, but not uniformly along its length. Can you use them to measure 45 seconds?

Ok, so me and my friend have an unresolved debate about one's self and self-esteem/worth. He claims that he has gotten to the point in his life where he feels as if he can love himself as if he was his own significant other (but he's not a cocky person, at the same time). Now my side of the argument is that one can't love themself to that extreme without being overly egotistical.

So, I want your opinion. Are we just blurring the lines between self-worth and egotism, or are they separable? And also, where do you draw the line between these two?

I hate feeling the way I do, but I am really resentful of my bf's 3 children. I am really a good and giving person who loves children, but I feel used an abused by him and his kids. Could all you ladies out there please tell me what you think of this situation. First of all he lives with me in my house. I would be lying if I said he pays his fair share. he doesnt make as much as I do, so doesnt contribute half, but trys to make up for it in other ways. (ok, maybe he does). His 3 children come every single weekend from Friday thru Sunday night and they pretty much take over the whole house, and boy can they eat! Not to mention all the other expenses. Sometimes he doesnt have money to buy food for them because he pays his ex wife child support almost his whole check because he wont get it reduced. Now comes the real kicker. He ignores me when they are there showering so much affection on them its a little extreme. I love my daughter but this guy is obsessed with his daughter

I know this isnt a question but Im a hard working waitress who gets paid minimally per hour, I know thats not the customers fault, but no matter how old or young, cute or ugly, fat or thin, smart or ignorant your server may be, she/he is not there to attend to the every whim of of her/his customers and not getting anything in return. Waiting tables is not a public service its extremely hard and strenuous work.Ok, Ok, I know you sometimes come across a terrible server here and there, but be a decent person and put a buck on the table. If anything write him a nasty note with it and go complain to the manager.Youll probably get a free meal out of it anyway. Please just realize they are their to pay their bills and feed their families, just like we all are.I work my butt off trying to make a pleasant dining experience for my customers and most of them just dont care.Just too cheap, and some leave me bibles(no kidding) Appreciate the thought but bibles dont pay rent Comments? Feedback?

My 6 yr old son is very energetic and intelligent. But he gets provoked easily. I hear that he does very well in school but he also fights with other children, only those who fight with him and not with silent ones. When I ask him how his day went, he lies and tells me that he never misbehaved. He is also very careless about his things. Please advise as to how I can make him realize that fighting is not allowed and that truth is very important. He does not fight with his cousins at home.

This is the character that is played by Denzel Washington on Man on fire. Suppossedly a CIA assasin who lived in Mexico and was employed by a rich guy to look after his girl so that she is not kidnapped. I always wonder if this movie is based on a true story and if so if there is anything that can show the real identity of the real John W. Creasy.

Feel free to add other RPG's to the list, but make sure to list all the Final fantasy games you have played. If they are not listed it will be assumed you have not played them.
Also, feel free to leave out FF 11 as its hard to compare it to the other games.

You wonder why I never ask, where you've been, where you're going, what you do. Because I know that if it were up to you I'd just be told a lie. So you just do what you wanna do, and when I get tired of playin' the fool, I'll just go out & find me someone new.
