Did you know? It's legal and some employers and universities are now looking to see what you've been doing / saying on the world wide web. Nothing is secure, so please be careful with the pictures and rantings that each of you may submit. It could mean the difference between your dream job and standing behind that Taco Bell counter.

It seems everyone is confusing what I meant. Darn pronouns. I did not mean should I tell my ex. I mean should I tell the new girl of what has just recently happened. Should I tell her right away or wait a while and see what develops?

I've been with him for a year and a half, and we've only held hands twice, both at amusement parks. Is this odd?

We've been going out for a year and a half. He has a demanding job,every free moment he'll spend w/me, but he's always too tired to go out or even have sex. Is this a problem or am I ungrateful?

Do you get annoyed if you don't receive a "thank you" wave or gesture?

I just recently got out of a relationship that lasted two years. (Ended july 3rd) We were engaed since Dec 05 and now are splitting up. We live together and she has not even moved out as of yet. - she will be by the end of the month. We have been more like friends for a long time, and we were hardly ever intimate at all. Like not even in the last six months. We are still going to be friends though. Personally, I did my crying; drove home to see my mother and family etc. I am not distraught at all anymore, although it still hurts slightly I suppose.
I posted a profile on a web board and a nice young lady responded to me. I added her to my favorites and she could see it, so she emailed me. My question is, how long should a person wait to date again? Aren't these things rather difficult to explain? I have not told her as of yet, but I feel to hide it from her would be wrong. I feel the need to tell her, but I don't want to ruin it with the truth. Any thoughts?

I don't understand. It's simple. It takes only a few minutes (technically, a few seconds), So, why not wash your hands?

Of course, everyone gets to leave on their floor.

If you are a man, do you still wait for the women to exit first? If you are a woman, do you expect to exit first? Or do you go by the "closest to the door" rule?

Do the same rules apply for entering the elevator as well?

I tend to be non-gender-specific but I wonder if any women get offended. Your thoughts?

Of course I just want to bi%ch slap her mouth off her face, but I can't that would get me fired. What can I do to get her to mind her own business and leave me out of her gossip? She is about 45 years old and doesn't seem to have anything better to do then spread rumors and lies about me, I'm the only other girl that works here. I confronted her once but she denied it and lied to me about it. I would love nothing better than for her to get fired for gossip.

I was in her first wedding & it was a big deal, and now she is having another one. I am sure she wants to forget about the last one, but I have a lot of expenses and really dont want to spend all that money again, plus it's out of state, so there is the cost of gas. Even though she lives in another state, we are still close.

Several times, when I IM someone who is in "On Line" status, they do not respond and a few minutes later they go off line; there is never a mention of that next time we talk. As for me, I atleast type "later" if I am unable to continue when someone IMs me. So when people do not respond, are they trying to tell me to get lost.. ??

My office has a single toilet rest room. Several times when I go in to wash my hands, I notice that the toilet is not flushed. My predicament if someone goes in immediately after me, they might think that "I" did not flush it; at the same time I don't want to be flushing for someone else. There is already a 'Please Flush After Use' board displayed. Do you think I should go ahead and flush it whenever I see it .. though I did not use the toilet?

This is a stupid question but no one really asks this. This question is not for you women that just throw it in a guy's face. This question is asking ladies who like a guy and do give "hints" and use body language to show they are interested. Any info would be most helpful...

For our vacation, my boyfriend and I are traveling to North Carolina (from NJ) to visit with a couple my boyfriend has been friends with since high school (he's now 31). Since we're going to be staying for about five days, I felt that we should bring them some sort of gift for their home...My boyfriend feels that that will seem out of place and just like we're following etiquette rules (and therefore won't have any real "meaning"), and plus, he says, we'll take them out to dinner one of the nights to a really nice restaurant.

I know they aren't expecting anything, and we are both very broke, but I don't like the idea of showing up empty-handed...

Any suggestions?

So... my wife walks our dogs every morning at around 7:45am. The temprature is cooler then and it is generally the most convenient time for multiple reasons. There is a house in our neighborhood that has two dogs in the back yard. Every time anyone walks by (particularly someone with another dog in tow) they begin yapping. This morning the fellow who lives there came out and ask my wife not to walk in front of his house because it upsets his dogs and they wake his baby.

Personally I find this to be the height of arrogance. It is, after all his dogs that are waking his baby, not ours, it is a public sidewalk, and while 7:45 is admittadly early it is not exactly unreasonable.

Generally, I would not worry about it. However, my wife will continue to exercise her right to walk our dogs and I have no way of knowing whether or not this guy is some crackpot who might cause some other problems in the future.

Just curious how y'all would deal with the situation.
