A freind of mine wrote this : ( I was having trouble with my passive-agressive and controlling mother in law)

"...you should never complain about your mother-in-law, especially to your husband. Why? because although your husband is an adult and is officially his own person, he was ultimately raised by his mother and is technically 70-80% mentally connected to her and has the same charateristics as her. So, basically by saying that you dont like/agree with this or that about her, your are saying you dont like/agree 70-80% of him. Might be a scary truth but it also cannot be denied.."

Umm I think that's bull sh*t. What do you think people?

For my science project i am seeing what color of drink people will prefer to drink more than others.

Assuming that all of the drinks are non-toxic and all taste good, would you drink:
A: yellow
B: orange
C: blue
D: purple
E: green
F: dark brown
G: red
H: clear

and for the reason you picked it was it because:

1) you like the color
2) you expected a good flavor
3) other

thank you for your help!

PS i figured i would get more responses in this category than any other in case you were wondering...

i knocked a volleyball under a trailer during a school trip and she climbed under knowing that it was full of rats and weird things to try to get the ball and prevent me from getting in trouble. Does she like me or is she trying to be helpful?

okay, well i have been dating this guy all of last semester, and we went to Winter Formal together and made out and stuff and now he asked me to sleep with him(well in so many words) and i said that i won't sleep with anybody until i am married. He said he understood and was really nice about it and didn't bring it up again until yesterday when he mentioned something about "when we are married" i thought he was joking and laughed tha he hadn't propsed. Then he acutaully got serious and said that he was getting his own apartment in the hollywood hills in June after we graduate and that he was thinking we could get married this summer. He was really expecting me to agree to it and i said we would discuss it another time. He is 18, I am 17.... I know this is alottle young and to tell the truth I never thought about marrying him. I was just having fun and i thought he was too. I care about him a lot and i know he rally cares for me. Does he really want to in bed that badly?

So there was this guy who I found out liked me on my birthday and he got me two chocolate covered prezels as a gift because he found out it was my birthday during luch that day and it was the only thing he could buy for me. I thought it was sweet because of the thought not because of what it was. So after that day we began talking a lot and whenever something would happen like if he got into a fight with his parents he would text me about it and I would make him feel better and we would text each other until really late at night talking about stuff. Then all the sudden he stops texting me and he began to make me feel ignored around his friends. We went on two dates and told my friend that he was going to ask me out soon and he also told me that and said he hadn't already because he wanted to make sure we are confortable around each other. Then my friend talked to him and he said to her that he never saw us together and that I was moving to fast (which I wasn't). What should I do???

I have a friend who was friends with a man who's married. Next thing you know, they became sexually intimate. The guy's wife found out about it and he broke it off with my friend without a word (he did send her one email saying he promised not to ever talk to her again).

However, my friend still cares about him and did not want to wreck his home. She just wanted to be friends with him without it getting this deep and causing problems.

Since the guy won't talk to her anymore, she's trying to find closure and regain the self-confidence and personal power she once had so that she can move on with her life and make better decisions, including being careful who she chooses as friends. She's taking steps such as devoting herself more to her job, strengthening her spiritual life, and going back to college to get her degree.

What other suggestions do you have for her to move on with her life,regaing her personal power and get past this nightmare? Thanks so much.

My relationship with my mom was kinda icy for some months. I made some mistakes, nothing realy bad, and it took her some time to forgive me, though I didn't get any harsh punishment. But she hurt my feelings. Yesterday we had a long talk, she tried to explain why she acted like that, she sais she had forgiven me and agreed I didn't do anything realy bad, but she was hurt because she felt I didn't trust her. Anyway, she agreed she had hurt my feelings, asked me to understand she is human and can make mistakes and apologized. For more than a month she's been trying to get my love and my trust back and I've been resisting, but I had to agree I was being stubborn. My mom was sad, I finally realized I was hurting her, then I decide to forget about this thing. I ended up acting like a child, stared crying, gave her a big hug, she cried too, gave me love like I was her little girtl and we promised a from now on we'll always trust each other and have a close and loving relationship.

What would you do if you had a guy friend who tried to kiss you but you only saw him as a friend and nothing more? Would you make it clear right there that you will only be friends and there is no possibility of anything more or would you just reject the kiss with your cheek and let him assume this?

I asked how many Caucasians have Asian friends earlier.
Few Caucasians answered.
Mostly Asians who have Asian friends.
Ok.
But, that doesn't put me at ease in regards to my research.
So, now I will ask this new question:
IF you are ASIAN (ONLY!!!): Do you have White friends?
PLEASE NOTE: a FRIEND is different from a classmate or an acqaintance!!!!! Don't answer unless your friend is a "FRIEND!!"
Thank you.

My son's father and I are planning our wedding and would like to incorporate our son somehow into the wedding party. At the time of our wedding, he will be 18 months old. He is a little too young to be the ring bearer as he can't walk down the aisle on cue. Our flower girl will be almost 3 at the time, but we are not sure if she would be able to walk with him down the aisle and keep him focused should he get nervous or distracted, as they are cousins and my son tends not to listen to her. Would it be appropriate for him to be accompanied by one of my bridesmaids (which would also be one of his aunts, so someone he knows very well), as I have one more bridesmaid than my fiancé does groomsmen? Or are there any other jobs I can have my son do to be part of the wedding party?
