My theory is because girls have more of a tendency to "care." Girls "care" more because they have the natural instinct to "care" for children..... If anyone could tell me a better theory or explanation, that would be cool. I don't need to do this for school or anything. It just came up out of my own curiosity.

She is that kind... opinionated, uploaded and downloaded, multi-tasker, ahead of the curve, high profile, wireless, and tireless girl. Should I pretend to be a sensitive new age guy or just my regular macho self? I know nice guys never get any, but if you tell me its gonna work, I'll do it. I have successfully pretended to be so many things before. Please dont judge or moralize, just tell me what to act like to ensure some action. Thank you in advance ladies...

p.s. i cant believe they suspended me!

It seems that whenever I have a dream about a big event, I always wake up before the climax. For instance, the other night I had a dream about being in a race and right before the race started I woke up. The same goes for sexual dreams; I have never had a wet dream. Does this signify anything or does anyone else experience the same thing? Any answers would be great.

Ok I have a friend and she was my past college teacher. Well I have been to her house and we have gone to lunch and all that.. we have become closer friends. Well I have gotten her new baby a couple of outfits and since we only talk through email, I emailed her and told her last week and asked when a good time to come by was and she told me anytime, but to tell her when and what time I decided.Well she never answered me so I didnt go over there. Then I asked her again this week and she emailed me today telling me to come by at 6:30 tonight but just a few min. ago, she called me on my cell and told me thier AC was broke and they are getting it fixed right now and she asked to reschedule AGAIN for next week. These seem like excuses to me.. I dont know what the problem is but it is getting me very annoyed and frustrated with her and it actually kind of hurts my feelings. I feel like next week it will probly be another excuse. What do you think?

Hello,
Dry ice and water make a large bang sound when mixed together and so does Pop Rocks candy mixed with soda. Of course these 2 parts are contained in a bottle.

I'm tryng to make some noise bangs for airsoft wars. I have a two (divider) in a bottle that easly breaks so the two parts can mix together to react. My problem, neither dry ice or carbonation of soda lasts long enough in the field all day.

Is there other types of long lasting materials (non firework) that when mixed together, it'll make a bang?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

This article (^) ran in the Houston Chronicle yesterday. It is a real eye-opener and I recommend everyone read it .

These hedge fund managers are making $12.6 million dollars a WEEK. This brings up an array of questions in my mind:
-Where is all this money coming FROM?
-What are they doing with the money they earn?
-How is it possible for the wealth of the people to be divided in SUCH an uneven distribution? How is it possible for one individual to make "22,255 TIMES the U.S. average annual salary"?
-Why isn't more money being donated?

Due to the limited number of characters given to input my question. Please visit http://kawaii-rin-kun.livejournal.com/135363.html for my full question.

A couple of examples from me:
Putting petrol in the car - nothing to do with the cost
Making my packed lunch, to take to work
Washing my hair and many more besides!!

What tasks do you find necessary but very tiresome?

Wondering about archaeological digs in the future, say 2000 years from now.

If future archaeologists found symbols of McDonald's everywhere, and since the symbols are so prevalent all over the world, would they think it was a WORLD RELIGION?

Would future archaeologists see company names like, "Mercury" or find police badges with the star (pentagram) on them and determine that we still worshipped pagan gods, 2000 years after we supposedly stopped? Would the police badge be seen as a petition for protection from a pagan god?
I do understand there are neo-pagans (whose spirituality I respect) but most people of Western civilization identify with the Christian religion (for the record, I do NOT).

Would they be in a heated debate over whether Christianity completely wiped out the "old gods", or would the overwhelming symbolism that is still in existence in our culture, be seen as a sign of the survival of their worship with more prevalence than it actually is?

In this dream she gave me head and I kept telling her no, and she kept wanting sex but I said no, because I liked this other girl and didnt want to mess with any other girls. Why cant my sexual dreams be about the girl I like? lol

I was dating a man who was a recovering alcoholic - who early on told me he was falling in love with me, but wasn't ready - he felt he had nothing to offer me, and that I was at a level within myself that he was not even close to and that intimidated him. I didn't listen. We ended up involved and both fell in love with each other - He started to get closer when we got physical, but he had a relapse and started drinking again. He came to me through struggles with sobriety, reaching out to me and not the people he should have and relapsed. After ending up in the hospital and maintaining sobriety again, he pushed me away because he wasn't able to commit to an emotional relationship. Do you think that men who are "unable to emotionally commit" are like this to any woman who comes in their life or if its no

Please contribute to this idea by suggesting what one or more of the steps might be. (Just to be politically correct, leave "God" out of it.) Oh, and I, of course, prefer funny!! I'll start:

Make a list of all persons you've flamed or trolled and be willing to send money to bribe them into forgiving you.

The dreams are so realistic. One was soon after her death, and the other was just recently. The first dream, she told me she was happy because she doesn't remember the past, and she got to choose at which point in her life that she could be( she was now in her 30's ). It really helped me dealing with her death. The second dream, I was back in the house that I grew up in, my father was there ( also deceased ) and he led me up to their bedroom where my mom was. I climbed into bed with her and put my arms around her and held her- then my noisy husband woke me up. It was so real and peaceful. It's like she comes back to comfort me. We were always very close-

What does it mean. It looks very strange and it is definitely not a disability. His eye balls seem to also roll upwards when he is talking and blinking. He has always done this and I find it very irritating. Does anyone know what this is, please? What causes it. In body language terms it usually means that the person is being dishonest, but this isn't the case. It seems more to be a habit than anything else. Is there a name for it and a cure?

Okay. I'm ready for some silly answers here. The funny ones will be okay but I still want some sensible ones please. I'm really interested to know why some people do this when it is definitely not a disability or a kind of twitch because it doesn't come across like that. Anyone medically-minded might know?

I've been blocked by someone - ME! Someone who leaves horrible, sexist posts has blocked me! Oh GOD - I am laughing too hard.

Have you blocked anyone ever? If so, why?

You don't have to give me names, just tell me what makes you block someone.

Do they realize just how much pain and suffering some people go through? Just because their own lifes are so fantastic they become narrow-minded and have the empathy of a kid with autism?

The most important thing: IT'S THEIR OWN LIFE therefore it should be their right, it would be different if they were to blow themselfs up and take several others with them.
