I had a dream where I broke by.... gums? And I woke up, and it hurt in the same place, and I swear I tasted blood.

Ok I am in college and I like my racquetball coach. I think he likes me too because whenever we play.. he will play me the most and the longest out of 4 ppl, me being the only girl. He shows me how to hold te racquet by putting his hand almost on mine. I work at a gym and he is an athletic trainer there and off the court, when I am working out, I catch him always glancing at me when I am on the treadmill usually. In racq., we make fun of each other and stuff like that, I guess thats flirting. When I watch him play other ppl, he always looks at me and has that face like hes trying not to smile. Oh yea and the other day we had to do evaluations for the school and put the papers in an envelope and seal them by licking that sticky stuff and he told me he wanted me to lick it...it seems like he wanted to watch me lick it or something. I think he is real hot and I want to ask him to give me some personal training. Does it seem like he likes me back?

Various social outings never work even while being extroverted. The people I try to talk to always end up flaky so a social life isn't for me. How can I rid of lonely feelings and just focus on studying?

Intelligence changes in definition from person to person. Our life experiences shape how we think and define things. Furthermore, it also depends on the context. For instance, some of the things we do in our culture is considered stupid by someone who grew up in a different culture. How can I not be hurt when someone thinks that I am stupid. That one person I care about. They appear to be intelligent because they have more knowledge than me, meaning a more powerful memory. i don't have a great memory, but I can always work on it. How else can I defend myself? To me, intelligence is using what natural abilities you have in a useful, creative way. Intelligence is when you can make a person go WOW!!! Intelligence is hard work and using words to make people stop and question themselves and society.

Consider a remote town in which two restaurants, AllYouCanEat Caf and Good Diner operate in a duopoly Both restaurants ignore the health code, but they continue to have customers because they are the only restaurants within 80 miles of town Both restaurants know that if they clean up, they will attract more customers, but this also means that they have to pay workers to do the cleaning.
If both restaurants do not clean, each will earn $8000 alternatively, if they both hire workers to clean, each will earn only $5000 However if one cleans and the other doesnt more customers will choose the cleaner restaurant; the cleaner restaurant will make $12000 and the other restaurant will make only $3,000 If the two restaurants do not collude, what is the Nash equilibrium of this game?
AllYouCanEat Caf does not clean but Good Diner cleans AllYouCanEat Caf cleans & Good Diner cleans.
AllYouCanEat Caf cleans but Good Diner does not clean
AllYouCanEat Caf does not clean, and Good Diner does not clean

Purely from a hypothetical persepective, (not all people want to be parents, naturally) what would change in our society if every adult was an involved parent to a son and a daughter? Would certain practices change? For example, would it change the way people view child support laws or other laws that might effect teen daughters or teen sons? Would we come to agree more often on gender issues, or not?

If you have a child or children of the opposite gender, do you find that it makes you more interested in the rights of that gender?

There is a girl who is 10 years old and probably she is a victim of incest or violence. She lives with her father. The parents are divorced and the mother is living in another city.

She denies to tell that her father abuses her. I know it. Because she behaves really strange and sometimes her reactions for usual things are so extreme.

A couple days ago I wanted to hold her hair. She yelled at me like "Don't touch me!" and then she apologized for her strange manner. She also really hates her father but denies to tell me the reason. She always says "He may go to the hell!" or something similar to this. She also said that her father told the girl that he loves her very much since she resembles her mother.

As a matter of fact I want to do something for her but I don't want to force her. How can I make her tell me the truth. Maybe I can do something for her and help her get rid of this father. But since she denies to talk, I can't do anything and I don't want to break her heart. Of course I'm not so sure about those. But I want to be sure then do something.

I know this is something too serious for me to handle alone but I need some suggestions about this issue. What do you think I should do?

I dont feel like getting out of bed in the morning and when I do I am tired most of the day. I feel like people are criticizing me all the time. And I just sit at home and never go to friends. I sometimes feel like a failure and just want to stop everything and take a break. I feel stressed all the time.

in 1986, our economy suffered a deflation or depression, and there was debate about gold and silver coinage. Sticking more toward economic explanations instead of political, can anyone explain to me what went on? What happened to make the fuss about gold and silver coins start? Who wanted to have gold currency? Who wanted silver? Why?
My research has been confusing me...can someone please just explain this to me because I am an idiot! Thanks =]

I have a stressfull job and i do realise i am not the only one but in my case i just can't finish work and forget about it. On my way home, and in the evening, even sometimes at night, i keep worrying about what happened during the day. How do you manage (and don't say alcohol!) to forget about work when you finish work?

I really need to find a way to chill out or it makesl me feel like i work 24/7.

If women do not make up 50% or so of the world's professors, doctors, scientists, (or any other occupation), does this automatically point to discrimination? Are there other possible reasons for varying percentages of female workers in each field?

I'll give one to start - chefs are overwhelmingly male - perhaps women prefer jobs which require less hours to excel, since chefs often work 70 hours a week. This could be because they want more time with family.

I am not an adult. Maybe, you can tell already.

School, home, I think of those places as prisons. You have no idea, how much I love the sky, the air. When the clouds come, I feel so sad. When it rains, I feel like I'm about to cry. But, I've only seen those things from a window. I live with my grandfather five days a week.

He does not do fresh air.

Saturday, I have babysitting duty. In the city. And I don't have a drivers license yet. I can't get out of the building. Sunday. Church school. Something I'm forced to do, even though, I have no faith in god. Perhaps, I will ask a question about this later.How I'd love to kick a soccer ball. Or run around all day. Friends, are there. But nature is something that I like to appreciate in solitude. It's peaceful that way.

Control of my life. No one can tell me what to do. I don't have a mother. She's in Japan somewhere. My dad works, all the time. That's why the grandfather is here.

Just I love my life. Though truly, how much?
