How do I overcome the 'boys only' divide in my boyfriends group of friends. I have been with my boyfriend nearly 2 years. Their girlfriends don't seem bothered about joining in but I'm used to mixed groups. I managed to join in on comedy nights but I think this resulted in the boys feeling like they had to invite their partners which did kind of change atmosphere. Now they have decided to have 'boys only' nights which will clash with comedy night and also seems to be the plan for most meetings. How do I remove this boys only stamp without alienating myself! It's not that I will always want to join in but it bugs me when I'm openly excluded. This is 2007 right? It's obvious they want to get away from their partners & have secrets but me and my partner very open. I'm not the sort of girl who likes apologies if someone swears because 'a lady is present'! I think that sort of thing just highlights unecessarily that I am different sex.

The plumbing in my apartment (and my other neighbors on the first floor) keeps backing up. It's disgusting, unsanitary, annoying, and unacceptable. Today is the 2nd time it's happened this week, and the 3rd time in the 5 months I've lived there. Is this good reason for me to terminate my lease? In this case would I be fined for the termination, or not?

Lets say under 16, I just saw a girl in school uniform about 12 smoking, my girls were horrified but they are 9 and 6. I hope they never do it. But if they do....?

That most Americans are fat and overweight?I've never been there so I can just rely on what I keep reading here and there.
It seems funny to me since I'm used to see well shaped people in USA movies.
If yes,is it due to a bad diet or what else?

My bf and I have great hygiene, but I find myself not attracted to his "scent" moments after intercourse. Even if it's a faint scent, I don't really like it. But I have often heard that many people are attracted to this, though. I know that what I'm about to reveal may sound vulgar and intensely personal, but the scent I'm talking about is "down there". Mine doesn't smell as strong as his, even a few hours after sex. In fact, I often feel like showering after sex. Is anyone attracted to their partner's scent after love making?

General Macarthur led the military defeat of Japan then ruled over them for years. But instead of abusing or humiliating the Japanese, his occupation set them on their feet as a new democratic society. He taught them the importance of that great American invention, separation of church and state, and showed them how to build a secular society and make it work, as James Madison had done for the USA, Kemal Ataturk for Turkey and Benito Juarez for Mexico.

Japan became prosperous and free, thanks to the good start given to them by the American occupation under Douglas Macarthur. Do they appreciate what he did for them? What do they teach in their high school history classes? Have they ever thought of erecting a statue of him or putting his image on a postage stamp?

Plus if we wanted, we can choose the slot's available and what suits us best. i would say this would be convenient for people who may not have the time to ring the surgery. This can be the case whilst working in an office. what do you think?

Superficial...yes, I know...but I regret not joining a mainstream sorority while in college because of the networking and meeting the "right" kind of people. I was even recruited several times and told I should join one, but did not because my family was not supportive of it. Now I feel like I don't have the friends and networking I want. How do I go about befriending these types?
Thanks

It seems that we are going on and on keeping data of the past to evaluate the future and we also have plans to store the future data, where we are going? Is our dependancy on data in increasing in every aspect of our life and controling our hope and expanctancy?

Mine was given to me by my father back when I was sixteen or so, and I have found it to be incredibly true:

"When you fall in love with a girl, remember: If you marry her, you marry her entire family. Keep that in mind."

Bangladeshi and Pakistani women have the lowest economic activity in the UK, especially those who are married. I would be grateful and extremely appreciative of your responses for the question below. Thank you.

Western discourses of Muslim women are “they do not want to work” or “they are not allowed to work”. Do you think any of this is true?

How does the family and society have different perceptions of young Muslim Women in terms of educational achievement and employment?

Do you think the education system has helped or discouraged Muslim Women to get jobs? Teachers having low aspirations of them, do you think this is true?

Do you think it’s more to do with cultural values?
