Did anyone else catch this story? A man awoke in the middle of the night to find his house being burgled. He confronted the intruder and backed him towards the bedroom window. The burglar attempted to escape by climbing through the window - and fell. Now the VICTIM - the man whose house it is - has been arrested!

Do you agree that this is absurd? What do those of you from other countries think?!

Me and my girlfriend are both 16 and have been going out for just over 3 months now.

I really like her and im quite sure that she feels the same way.

The only thing is that shes quite shy meeting new people and stuff like that, but once shes got to know you a bit, shes all good. Her being bit shy is not a problem at all.

The thing is that because of it she doesn't like to call my house because she doesnt want to have to speak to my sister or parents becuase she says it would be embarrassing.

She also doesnt want to come to my house i assume because she would feel a bit shy meeting my parents and the like.

Its been three months already :|

What can I do or say that will make her see that all will be good if she just trys it. Ive tried telling her before that theres no reason any of my family wouldnt like her and that theres nothing not to like, as i think this is another worry of hers.

What can I do to at least make her try it so she can see that theres nothing wrong?

Ok. So you've got this thesis leader back in college who was a bit. gay. He was the leader of your group and he was often seen wearing what was seem to be "blouses for women". He graduated suma kum laude from your college and you graduated with average grades.

fast forward to the future.

Both of you are working in the same company. In 6 months you have worked there, he has yet to be promoted yet other people that starts out as he has were already promoted. Your boss then approaches you and tell you that he will promote you. You ask him, why not the "other guy" (your friend). He sniggers and say, "You're just better". Your promotion will grant you 20,000 pesos increase in salary and you are paying your way through your masters course. You are barely making ends meet. Is it ethical to accept the job? knowing that there is a huge evidence of discrimination to your friend?

I have a colour laser printer and am wondering if it would be cheaper for me to do my own business cards. I am running Office 2007 which has some pretty decent designs on there and I can't say I need 1000's of the things. What do you think? Will decent card cost me more to buy than doing a run of business cards at a printers?

Thanks for your advice.

There was an old lady named Grundy
who was a fanatical fundy.
In her house she kept crosses
and kischy colloses,
for the Rapture she waited for one day.

There was a fat white man named Karl Rove
who, to quite smoking sucked on a small clove.
He twisted opinion
for Bush's dominion,
While angels wept in heaven far above.

If you don't like the style of my verse,
I'm sure you can cry and me curse.
What I don't hear can't hurt me,
or even alert me,
so go right on & do your best worst.

Do you need to read the books (Vampire Chronicles ) in order, or can I start from any place. So, do I start with "Interview with a Vampire" or can I start in the middle of the series. And which book was your favorite? Thank you in advance!

So I asked a question wondering if other girls started to think about what kind of a husband, provider, father etc... a guy would be when you really start to get interested in him.

NOw I want to know if guys do the same thing. Do you think about your future with her? Consider what kind of a mother, wife, provider etc...she would be?

cladding philosophy in supernatural trappings?

Wasn't the human mind still developed enough (even if the science wasn't yet) to handle pure philosophy without extra packaging?

As far as putting fear into people for misbehaving, there were enough people then to handle that the same way the legal system handles it today -- without divine intervention.

Even with supernatural trappings, we STILL don't have answers to all of life's mysterious (answers being things that don't require "faith"), so what did this ill-conceived addition of mythology to philosophy accomplish?

A church in TX canceled a memorial service for a gay man 24 hours before it was scheduled because they said they didn't know he was gay when they agreed to host it.

How do you feel about this? And what are you going to do about it? I am telling as many people as I can about it. I want to raise awareness and change attitudes even if that means only one person.

What is it with the man that can't commit? Been in love with same man for 20yrs, we have 3 kids together. When all is good why does he bail out on us, but when we try to patchup and move on without him he returns for another go. Have forgave and forgot for 4 leavings of this family over the last 10yrs, he's just gone again. I consider myself a good worthy partner, look after him, don't nag him, have good intimacy between us, don't push or put him under the thumb. So what gives with this man. I want to move on and find a good man that will stick around and return the love I'm able to give on a deep and real level. But still he says if he wants he will return when he's ready again no matter where we end up. So what to do?

We are having a BBQ with some close friends... only 20 people... we are happy to provide the meat, chips, and some beer and wine (not enough for 20 people to get drunk, but enough to have a couple drinks)... but we would like to "suggest" the guests bring something like a salad, side dish or desert of their choice, and not assign or "tell" them they HAVE to bring something. How can I word that on an invite?

Or do I just put RSVP on the bottom and when the call me, I just hope they ask if they can bring something and plan on providing all the food?

P.S. Also, should we put BYOB if they want more than a couple drinks?

Thanks!

some form of mental health issue?

About 25% of people will experience some form of major depression.
Panic/anxiety disorders are common as well.
Personality disorders add up - who doesn't know a narcisist, borderline, histrionic, avoidant personality, anti-social, etc?
Bipolar and the schizos are another 4%.
Then there are the officially neuro problems like Asbergers, Autism, etc.

Normal is a statistical average. It is an ideal, not reality. Since no one is perfect, the discrimination against mentally ill folks is absurd and borne of denial and ignorance.

Your thoughts?

I'm going on holiday in september, and I know if i want to look nicer in my bikini I need to lose some weight.
I eat healthily, Im vegetarian and I've removed all fatty foods and junk foods out of my diet, and i use my exercise bike or i walk for 30mins every day.(but only been doing this now for about a week)
But i was just wondering if anyone has any good tips or advice to help me lose as much weight as i can as soon as i can?
Thank-yooouuuuuu!! X
