I feel that my metabolism has slowed down. I excercize each day, try to eat healthy, take a walk for 45 minutes every nite after dinner, etc...Yet, I don't seem to be losing weight. I would like to lose about 20 lbs.
What suggestions would you have to put my metabolism on "speed"..that is, to help it work better?

Jorgensen Ford Detroit, Michigan is the new car dealer and they have had the worst service department in the United States. I am having problems with my 2002 Taurus and they have not even attempted to get the issue resolved. I was told by Ford Motor Company that they did not have any control over the dealership. Since the dealerships are authorized Ford Agents, it appears as if I cannot get my extended warranty enforced. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I like to think that everyone has a sense of humor, though some more than others. I would like to know what comic strips you like and find funny. You can also say which ones fall flat with you, if you like.
My personal favorites are Get Fuzzy and Pearls Before Swine. I do not care for Andy Capp.

A male friend of mine really likes me, but I don't fancy him. I don't want to hurt him, or damage the friendship, but I can't have him believing he has a chance to take things further when that isn't going to happen.

Help! I don't want to be a ***** over this, what should I do?

Cheers guys!

I had an abortion 2 years ago,and although i was upset at the time, it wasnt about the fact that i thought i might have been destroying a life, it was the fact that it was what people might think of me if they knew. I do sometimes think about what might have been but i know i made th right choice, and there was never any question of me keeping it, i have never felt guild or regret about what i did, but i sometimes feel guilt about not feeling guilt and also about the fact i didnt tell the dad. Am i inhuman for not really being bothered by this?

I just bought a new road bike a few weeks ago, and I am used to riding alot on my mountain bike. I've been going about 30 miles per ride on my new road bike, and I noticed that there is much more discomfort in forward unmentionable parts of my anatomy (as a woman). I already had the seat adjusted from tilting forward to slightly tilted up. It's less uncomfortable now than before, but I still get rather tender. Am I not riding in the right position or is it the saddle's position? Or, is it just something I have to get used to, like my rear end did when I first started going long distances on the mountain bike?

I had one when I was a little kid, but I haven't used it since I was 11. I have since moved and was wondering, would any late fees or other fees be a factor in getting a new card, even if they weren't my fault, would there even still be a record of that 10 years later? Can I continue using my old card?

Hi, I have two networks, one is connected to the internet and has 3 or 4 computers running off of it, the other network has my work on it and has no internet connection. Currently, I have a printer hooked up to the internet network, and have to keep switching the network cables around when I want to print out things via different networks.

What I would like to know is if I bought a second network card for my printer and hooked both networks into the printer, would this provide any kind of security problem? Basicially, could anyone work their way from my internet machine, through the printer and "into" my secure network? I dont think this is possible, but I just want to make sure before I go ahead and do this. Thanks

Dan

What made them so special that they could withstand cosmic radiation and the extreme temperature shifts between shadow and full sunlight while they were being used on the baldly exposed surface of the moon? I've read an interview with a Hasselblad spokesman where he mentions that although they were barely modified from the Earth bound versions, they each had a few coats of aluminum/silver paint (?)... but that doesn't strike me as something which would offer a considerable degree of protection, or in fact virtually any protection whatsoever. Also it's been stated by authorities that they used a "special emulsion" with the film... but as far as I can tell they've never ever said what---exactly---was so special about it.

So what was so special about it? Or is it a trade secret and therefore unavailable to the public? I just want a basic explanation that isn't totally vague and useless in the vein of "Trust them, they're experts."

Anyone?

All she wants is my money, and if I do not give her enough she will not have sex with me. I got angry and called her a whore. Seemed fitting in relation to the context.

My sister had bulemia for several years and is trying to beat it. My mom has taken all of the snacks, cold cuts, peanut butter, etc, and put them in her room whenever the rest of the family is not using it because my sister asked for her to do this. She used to binge eat and then throw everything up. This just doesn't seem healthy to me because it seems like she is trying to avoid certain foods, which you certainly can't do your whole life!

She also won't eat meals with the family. She will make her own, which usually consists of some fruit, and a little bit of meat.

Do you think is an effective way of trying to beat bulemia?
