Cultures & Groups - 20 November 2007

I was in Sociology class tonight and our lecture was on aging. This question came up (I am the only person over 30 besides the teacher) and I said I would ask you guys and come back next week with some answers. My answer was that I can enjoy more things because I am not so worried about what others will think.

I've been bi curious for far too long and I really want to act on it. Where or how can I find other bi curious women? I'm a bit shy about it so how would I go about approaching them?

When you find that a person contually answers your question with rude demeaning remarks, I think it is fair game. If you don't agree with the question, agree, with class and manners. Or just go on to the next question.

I went to Jacksonville Florida and Houston and Dallas TX and I noticed white women have back there I was use to seeing white women with flat butts in Los Angeles. But I saw something on TV where a lot of white women hated the fact they have a big butt. If your a white woman with booty are you cool with it?

I cannot even answer her questions that she posts. I have a person that stalks me and is very rude in answering my questions but I can't get rid of them. I have no idea what I did to "JUST ME" and she has the power to block me. Is anyone else able to do this to other people?
It upsets me to know I have to tolerate it.

i get urges to masturbate about every other day, sometimes every other two. I enjoy the stimulation but after orgasm feel ashmed. I regret doing it but manage to repeat the action again. im not a loser. i have friends, hobbies and i used to have a girlfriend. sex doesn't control my life. it just is a part of it. the last relationship i had was about two years ago with a girl i really liked. in the end i was crushed and havn't been the same about dating since. do you think this is a possible reason why i reach towards masturbation. as a balance for the intimatacy not present in my life. and i dont see any place in the bible that says masturbate and go to hell, but why do i feel so ashmed after the action but not before?

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline,diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is tempe rature-compensated so that the indicated gallon gage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof'membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting,thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'

Not what do you want to be remembered for.
Be honest, be realistic.
When gone, what do you think those closest to you will remember the most about you?

Ok she always talks about how she is part Cherokee Indian and Sioux Indian. [1/16 of each] I'm like okay wow I'm part Cherokee 2 wooohooo. It's like she's ashamed of being White. I feel sorry for her cause when she tries to tell other people this they laugh at her. She is very pale, has blonde hair, and blue eyes. Now she has come up with this new theory that if your part something that if it is the dominant gene you are half that. When she told me this I said hmmm interesting guess I'm half Hispanic then. [Cause I am about 1/4 anyway. I am also 1.4 Cherokee Indian]. Then she said to me well if I was I wouldn't tell noone. Then I was like WTF? It's like she thinks shes full Native American or something. WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THIS!?! She always talks about White people like they are dogs when she is one. I guess the thing that makes me the maddest is that if anyone should be saying something it should be me, cause I'm as much white as not white.

We aren't dating, but she's a close friend of mine. Admittedly, I don't know if she's bisexual or lesbian or anything like that, but I do wonder sometimes.

Still, I've already decided that I'm not going to ask about her sexual orientation. I guess I'm one of those people who believes that "love knows no gender", so it's kind of irrelevant in my eyes.

I know that it's impossible to make someone fall in love with you, but also think it's very possible to lead someone in that direction. Love is a psychological thing, after all.

Any fool can say "I love you", but I want to be able to show it through my actions first. And I don't want to screw this up.

Any advice?

Meeting a girl to have a one night stand is the same as with a prostitute, the difference being that with a prostitute you have 100% chance of getting laid. Also, many times you have to spend more money on a date(or dates) then you would on a prostitute. You pay for it either way, only difference is that with a pro you know what you are getting from the start. It is the purest sex of all because there are no motives; it is simply a business transaction.

I myself have never been with a prostitute, but I am pretty sure I will try it sometime. I am not talking about morality here. I am also not talking about some ugly crack whores on the street, but professonals who charge a little more.

Again, I think this kind of sex is the purest form of sex. I am also not talking about long relationships, just one night stands.
