What would you do if you were me?

so basically I have been with this guy for 8 months or longer. a month or so in our relationship his ex calls and says she is 3 months pregnant. he cried when he told me and said it didnt matter he still wanted to be with me and to have a baby with me some day. so we continued our relationship until they could talk over some things and after a month she finally says she wants to be with him so he said for the babys sake he will be with her. I understood even tho it hurt but 2 times during our split and we hung out he cheated on her with me but he immediately both times said he was sorry but if we couldnt stop then we would have to stop being friends. It hurt me bc both times i thought we were gettin back together but the next morning it was different so my sister deleted my number out his phone and we didnt talk for awhile but i txt him after a month just to say merry christmas and then next thing he callin me to hang out and he is apologizing to me sayin he was done with her and everything was like it was before the baby thing came out. but not even a week later he started treatin me different. and when i asked him about it he said i wanna be with you its just complicated. and we have had this conversation multiple times. so then i make a fb and add his baby mama and see that he talks to her like they were in a relationship. I made up every excuse cause i thought he did care about me but its like he said complicated. i never told him what i saw or what i knew. but i just was at least informed on things more. cause he would hangout with me but then i wouldnt hear from him so i found out he was taking trips to see her. which is 5 hrs away from us so i again was like if you dont wanna be with me just tell me and he said he loved me and i am for sure what he wants just complicated right now now cause he tryin to figure out what gonna happen when the baby is born. I also didnt want to keep bugging him cause i knew he had enough stress goin on so i just told myself things will get better for us just gotta stay strong. but then the baby was born. and thats when my feeling really got hurt bc he wrote as his status that he loves his girls and says her name and all of our friends that knew we were together were asking me wat was up and that embarrassed me so i said to them that he just said that bc she gave birth to his child of course he loves her i said and i was believing myself. so the baby was born and he would go visit every weekend but as soon as he came back he would come see me. I had in my mind he was only visiting her cause the baby. but then one day i see him get tagged in a photo of him kissing her on the cheek. that is not ok! so i cried and thought to myself why is he kissing her if he wants to be with me? whats his purpose of using me like this? and just when i was making excuses again for him i thought to myself what is so complicated? he says its complicated cause he has a baby. but that baby isnt going anywhere so what is he wanting me to wait for? if he loved me he would just make the decision to be with me right? I have been in this for basically the entire pregnancy and 3 months of the childs life. and its still complicated? I told myself it was done and i have been ignoring him. do you think i made the right choice? i mean i just dont know what men think when it comes to kids. i know it must be scary but i think its time for him to make a decision already. I love him but its time right?

National Guard and moved.?

I would be surprised if you did not get an honorable, but I'm just guessing. Here's an idea. If you get moved into the IRR and DO get an honorable, go see a Guard recruiter after the smoke clears and see if you can rejoin. It won't be a interstate transfer then.

What are examples of how war diminishes men in the Iliad by Homer?

I cant really answer that because I cant remember The Iliad very well, but i can say that war "diminishes" men both literally and figuratively. Im sure you can figure out how literally, but for the figurative aspect i can only explain it this way. War brings out the worst parts of human nature, for those who are doing the fighting and the killing and even for those who are being fought and getting killed. The ones doing the killing show an almost demonic dispassion and disregard for human life and liberty, killing with abandon and without any mercy, that diminishes men on a moral level, shows us just how despicable a human being can become. And on the flip side those who are being killed, will abandon hope, will beg for their lives and are willing to do almost any level of depraved thing just to survive.

FIRST RELATIONSHIPPPPPP?

Ok me and my boyfriend have been dating for a while and he says i love you to me and says he cares for me all the time. We were skyping one time and i thought he was being kindof aggravating because he was just acting a little disrespectful. we got off and i wondered if he had a problem with our relationship and if he was annoyed with me or something bc he was acting differently. i couldnt skype him back so i messaged him asking him this and he said that he was sorry and that he wasnt annoyed with me. i replied oh ok do you have a problem being in a relationship with me then...and he didnt reply back. i feel hurt bc i dont know whats wrong or if he still wants to be in a relationship. should i just let it go and move on from this and let him come to me? or should i be kind of clingy and tell him that i would like an answer from him? this is long distance in different countries so i cant text or call him.....

He sounds like one of those guys that care & just hasn't found a way to tell you that he has a fiance because he thinks that you would take it a type of way .... that's how alot of men act also he probably doesn't want you to meet his fiance that's why he walked so far behind her because it would create an awkward moment for him

I think I'm crazy.. relationship problems.. help me?

Today it is hard to find someone like you who still understands the purity of being faithful. I don't think you should read too much into it, but I do believe you are correct that he should not be doing that in any form. Have you spoke to him about this? If not then if he truly loves you and cares for you then he should listen to what you have to say. Good Luck :P

How can I contact the makers of the Sims games?

Just email them at support@ea.com. Better yet write out all you can think of for the future game. make a copy of it in print and digital then mail it to yourself, don't open the package then contact them with your ideas. Then if they make the game you described to them without giving you funds or credit you can prove you came out with it first. I knew a writer who sued another writer for stealing her work and won the case with the proof she had mailed to herself.

How do i get him to stop talking to me!?

alright so my parents are originally from mexico and every year we go for a visit for about a month, and there are teenager guys to whom i dont talk to but i can tell they want to talk to me because they tell my brother and just show signs of interest ive never really paid attention untill this year, that some guy finally talked to my uncle about me, and yes ive been teased from my family some what but i havent even talked to the guy in person just from chatting on facebook since i came back. and he seemed like a nice guy at first hard worker etc, but recently hes shown signs of being disrespectful like he cusses in messages, on his status he says the beyond stupidest things and recently he got my uncles into some kind of argument and i just want out I dont want anything to do with him especially since my family doesnt like him even my extended family ( yeah big deal) I guess you could say we had something sparking between us but then we just turned off, once he turned up at my aunts with hickies all over his neck and hes told my uncle he has bitches ( sorry for the language) all over ( meaning girls) which isnt my thing it just isnt the way it works with me. hes sent me messages but of course i ignore them and hes asked me if i dont wanna talk to him no more but im scared of responding no becuase he could start rumors and talk crap about me back in mexico so what do i do keep ignoring him or just tell him the straight off truth? any advice i also dont want to hurt any feelings?

Ramadan: Are you also having a difficulty with this?

If they're learning in a Madrassah that is disrespectful. They're not patient enough :P i used to study Qur'an and learn Surahs by heart in classes at the Masjid..when i used to just chit chat instead of learning it i used to be sent to sit/stand against a wall (pillar) in the room and learn it - it actually worked quickly as well. These people need to be more patient, and need like a teacher to help them. I guess those words just 'accidentally' come out their mouth and they don't think before they say it.. so they need to be taught patience and manners ;)

Do you care what people think and say about you? Please be honest?

care a lot about what people say about me. I get criticized a lot for being "ugly" although, I don't think that there is anything wrong with me. People give me such a hard time for this. I am an african american woman and I only deal with this criticism from people of my own race. A lot of the time when I am out in public they feel a need to embarrasse in front of other people by constantly making disrespectful remarks about my physical appearance. This is not just from younger black people either. Most of these people are in their 30's and older. It just makes me feel so uncomfortable being around my own race.

My parents want to kick me out of my house?

actively work twords getting a therapist or physiologist. If you feel like there's anger brewing inside you, leave the house quietly and calmly as possible tell them you're going on a walk or something. I'd try to keep things superficial with your parents, keep to yourself a little while and confide in friends even if you're embarrassed. See if you can get a ride some how to and from your physiologist. Good luck man, and I wouldn't tell your mom about anymore flashbacks.

Boyfriend issues pls help?

I don't think he will wake up. I know these are hard times and most good men who have a good woman to support them will go and get any job to put food on the table until they either get rehired at the job they were fired from or until they find a better position somewhere else. Get out of this relationship. You sound like a smart woman do not settle for less. Our father of mother above is trying to tell you something. Why should you work hard and have problems and he not be there for you. I like the fact that you let him stay with you and your mom. That was thoughtful to help him out. But do you really want him to use you and your mother? I don't think you do. And i believe one day you mamma gonna wake up and say, "To hell with this hobo, if he don't get out my house, some body got get buried six feet below zero!"..lol.. Also, have him sign a contract stating that he said he will pay you and your mother back and all the things you both are doing for him. Also, have it notarized with each of your signatures on it. Make a copy and mail the copy or two and put them up for safety. Every time you help him in anyway make sure you have it written, signed by all parties involved, and notarized. Good Luck.

Why do so many Christians seem to think that..?

If you know that only a small minority of Christians believe that why would you say in your question "so many Christians"? You do not address your question to the small minority, but rather the general group. As such you are making the beliefs of a small group as representative of the body of Christians. There is a small group of atheists who have said at various times that while they do not believe in God, they believe in a spiritual afterlife and in miracles. Would it be correct of me to assume that these beliefs are representative of all atheists?

Photographing graves at cemetary?

You would have to ask the managers of the site first, as there might be rules about that, regarding insurance, photos. Ask about capturing the names on the graves. If they are recent graves, you never know where the pics will end up and the rellies might be upset. Especially if they ended up used on a horror c.d. cover or something.

In book 4 of the Iliad, why does Hera want the fighting to continue rather than Zeus' plan of ending the war?

Her judgments were clouded by the grudges she holds against the Trojans. First, the title "fairest of them all" was given to Aphrodite(who supported the Trojans) instead of her. Then Zeus favored another Trojan prince, Ganymede, to be Olympus' cupbearer instead of Hebe, their own daughter. She has invested so much in the Achaean(Greek) cause that she is afraid of losing it all for some peace-treaty. Keep in mind that Hera was a highly vengeful goddess, quite an irony considering she is the protector of life.

How do I live with my mom when she hates me and i hate her?

no im not lying. She really does hate me. There is something mentally wrong with her (professional people have said this) and anyone can see it. She left my dad after 18 years, and they are in there second year of getting divorced. She kicked my sister out and me and my twin brother are living with her every other week, and my dad the rest of the time. I mean i love my dad. But my mom is trying to make up a ton of lies about him so he cant have custody of him, like saying he was abusive (he never EVER hit her!! He would not even think about doing that) even though honestly if any of there many fights could be considered abusive it would be because of her, threatening to throw my dads laptop out the window, throwing pans across the kitchen and indenting counters, throwing fans all right in front of her children. she also claims that he raped her? which i know isnt true. and its rediculouse. i mean i know i would never be able to truly know but really my dad isnt like that, and from what ive always heard her taking to her many friends on the phone about is that he wouldnt have sex with her, but she was the one that wanted to have it :P she tried homeschooling us but didnt do anything. she locked herself in her room all day watching Dr. Phill and Opera and sleeping. She left us kids to do our schooling by ourselves. When she did come down-stares she would stop us doing our school to get on facebook or check her email, or to clean for hours. because our house was never clean enough for her. she literally had us scrubbing walls and doors and floors and toilets. my bestfriend carly remembers me never being allowed to play because i would be cleaning. my mom got our whole family caught in an awful cult where they made me feel even more worthless than i already was. i was only seven at the time. i didnt understand why i didnt get gold teeth and get "drunk in the spirit" like the other people (it was all fake. little creeps) I thought there was just something wrong with me. my mom has always treated me like crap on the floor, and like im nothing better than a servant. she had our whole family pretending we were happy too. so everybody thought we were a perfect family though i cried myself to sleep every night and never felt good enough. always trying to prove that i was worthy of her love, always trying to find a way to be happy .but sense my parents decided to get divorced i was really able to see everything for how it is. I'm done pretending. I'm done trying to make her happy when that is something she will never be. She is hollow inside, and everything she has isnt good enough for. She is manipulative and i believe she is truly just a bad person, and she poisons everyone around her with leis of happiness and her being a healthy person when she is far from it. Now that i have refuse to pretend, im her least favorite child (my brother used to be because he was apparently the least perfect) and she hates me even more. everything i do has some evil motive behind it. she wants me to be her best friend. she wants us to have a fake happy jolly relationship. its not going to happen. because thats just complete bull ****. how do i live with her when she just keeps taking my things a way and punishing me for things im not even doing? she will punish me for being "disrespectful" when i really only get truly disrespectful after she punishes me, cuz well who wouldnt get pissed if their mom took their phone away for trying to talk about something, not even being rude? she is just an evil person. and after her leaving me last night outside at her apartment with no where to go (she knew my dad was dropping me off at her house) in an awful neighborhood at 10 at night for an hour while she ate at waffle house with my brother (he wanted to come home and help me) any love i did have left for her is now gone. and i have a bladder infection and really had to go pee and i couldnt get inside to the bathroom. everytime i see her i have a sudden impulse to say "**** you. I dont love you. I hate you and your ugly over-tanned skin and awful cigarette smelling breath. I'm going to live with my dad and there is nothing you can ******* do with it. Go to hell because i could honestly give a **** about where you go. Goodbye. Oh and by the way, your worst mistake was thinking i loved you." I know its awful, but its what i feel. after her breaking our family apart, her dating a man who just lost his wife to brain cancer and I KNEW HER! lying through her teeth on a regular bases, breaking my siblings and my heart over and over again by completely degrading us as people and treating us like ****. but im forced to live with her, and i have no choice. my dad tried to aply for custody but hes worried shes going to say theres parent alienation involved. cuz he doesnt want us kids to have to deal with the courts. how do i live with her and make my life not as awful without pretending that im happy?

What can my mom do about my disrespectful brother? he always stresses her out and makes me uncomfortable?

She needs to kick him out--he will never grow up at this pace. Talk to your school counselor and a very good friend or relative. If he doesn't go she can call the police. They will move him out.

How do I convince my Mom to let me do age appropriate activities?

I am 15 years old. My Mom wants me to act like a toddler. She took me to Disney World and made me take pictures with the characters like Micky Mouse and Goofy, and made me ride the merry-go-round. She won't let me watch the Twilight Series, saying that I am not old enough for that. She doesn't let me order for myself in a restaurant. She tried to get me to sit on her lap. She won't let me listen to rap music or anything that I like. How do I get my Mom to stop treating me like this? I am tired of having to act like a baby all the time.

What do you think of my Characters?

Very impressive. I love how you fleshed out the back stories of the characters, adding to their believability. The naming is well done too, some of which seems symbolic or seems to hold a thematic significance.

Help me remember the name of this movie please?

All I remember is that there was this psycho fourteen year old who was in love with an older man, but the man wouldn't be with her because of how old she was.She becomes jealous of this woman and later ends up trying to make it look like the man was hurting her at a wedding which leads to him being confronted for a bit by the police and them asking him some questions.Near, the end of the film she has a girl who is a friend of hers I think tied up to a merry go round in an upstairs attic.The man knocks her unconscious and frees the girl the movie ends with her possibly in some kind of place for teenagers and staring at the camera.

"You had no consideration for my pure reverence of your thighs, ungrateful after all our frequent kisses." Achilles says of his fallen lover Patroclus.

Atheists: are you saying “God doesn’t exist,” or are you saying, “You have not proved your god’s existence”?

And are you also saying, “Since you haven’t even come close to proving your god’s existence, I’m also going to determine your “holy book” is nothing more than a collection of garbled myths and legends that have no more relevance than Homer’s The Iliad”?

Sounds like my feelings dont count in this marriage?

My hubby of 3 yrs gets really mad at me when I say anything to about the way he treats his kids. His kids are 19, 18 and 16. The two oldest ones have quit coming around unless of course they need something or money. We still get the youngest one every weekend and the weekends revolve completely around him. My hubby takes him fishing, hunting, knife throwing, to shoot pool or whatever and I sit at home. My hubby and I both work full time and during the week we have no time together, maybe 2 hours per evening. My hubby pays child support faithfully and yet still buys the kids whatever they want, when ever they want it. We spent over $500 between Jan and May on the youngest one alone. When I said something to my hubby about this he got really mad and didnt' talk to me for 2 days, usually when the child is here with us. Even though I dont say anything to him in front of his kids. I am tried of us not having our time, him spending so much on these kids and him ignoring me unless his kids arent around. His youngest is very rude, disrespectful and says things under his breath to me. When I brought this to my hubbys attention he told me he wasnt going to say anything to his son about this because he sees how jealous I am of him? I know this makes no sense but thats the answer I got. I feel like I have no say so or that my feelings dont count for anything????

How did "humorless *****" become synonymous with "feminist"?

I've seen this a lot even when it's an anti-feminist strolling into safe spaces where feminists are *surprise surprise* making jokes and being merry. I'm a feminist and there's tons of things I find funny; especially when approached from a new angle. In fact the very minute I self-identify as a feminist, I am suddenly stripped of my humor. I'm no longer to talk about what I find or didn't find funny else and why or why not because I'm now a humorless *****. It's weird and annoying.

What star does Homer compare Diomedes to in the Iliad?

Begining of book V. "She(athena) caused his helmet and shield to blaze with tireless flame, like that bright star of late summer that rises from bathing in the stream of oceanus and outshines all others." I didn't think it was sirius because it is easily seen in the early summer.

I'm 21 years old and my mom still wants to treat me like her little child. I have my own job, pay for school and all my bills on my own, and help out around the house when I can. Yet still thinks that she is entitled to make decisions for me. And decisions about everything, from whom I'm friends with to how much money i spend on clothes. And any time that I disagree with what she says, she claims that I'm being "disrespectful" even if I am polite and logical about it. How do I deal with this? I'm sick of getting angry about this, because nothing seems to be improving.

I don't think that would be disrespectful because you aren't trying to make fun of them, and feathers are very popular lately. Feathers can be worn by anyone so there shouldn't be a problem.

In the picture, He hug the girl around her shoulder and the other picture is my boyfriend siting at a certain height the girl standing on the ground inbetween my boyfriend leg and with his arm around her neck. And they look very happy in the pictures. When he's with me, i seldom see him smile although i treat him good. I am really flare up and It makes me feel disrespected. I cant contact him through phone call I thinking to confront him through email. We planing to get marry but i feel he's been disrespectful after i saw this pictures and am rethink should i marry to this guy or not? i chose to forgive him in the past if he did anytime wrong.

What is the concept of the human person presented by Homer in the Iliad?

Your question is not clear to me. What is the concept of man? That he is mortal and the gods are not? Man has destiny, free will, fate or free will but he is always mortal. His actions will come to an end, what goes around comes around as fate. Man is punished yet he can learn. But there are fated people. You can look it up online because there could be many answers to this. If you are in school, the answer is whatever your teacher or prof taught you or wants to hear.

Should I try to make this work, or end things with him?

I like him so much and we have done everything but sex and we were going to but he said I'm too obsessive and emotionally attached to him and that it pisses him off so he told me that we aren't going to talk for three weeks and I asked why and he said "because you need to stop being obsessive before I **** you..so you better not text me for three weeks or we will never talk or hangout again..and I know you don't want that" I feel like that was really disrespectful and mean to say. Idk what to do because I really like him but I feel like he is just using me :( What do you think I should do? I like him so much and he knows I like him so I don't understand how he can just hurt me and not care :(

Books based on the story of Romeo and Juliet?

I am sorry if this is useless to you, but I know a similar story (nothing to do with Romeo and Juliet) about a forbidden romance between two families. It is based on a real feud and is called The Coffin Quilt. If a personal reading book like the Romeo and Juliet story is what you are looking for you should definitely check it out.

If you have any other book suggestions then by all means go for it.

My husband insults my parents to me and then is nice to their face?

My husband repeatedly has made awful comments regarding my parents. I am an only child and my parents have been good to me so I am very close with them. My dad does have a drinking problem so he is an easy target. It is a subject that I am very sensitive about. He will say mean things about me and about them over and over. When I try to address it he just says quote "let it go" but it really hurt my feelings. Then he will go and be nice to their face like he never even said those things. I have NEVER said anything disrespectful about his parents. This is just a small issue that just happened. We have numerous problems and we are already on the verge of divorce. And I have about had enough...

Some good korean dramas to watch?

My favorite Korean drama I've watched is "Full House". It's sooo cute and hilarious! If you like those types of dramas, I'd recommend it. Currently, I'm watching "Choon-Hyang", and it's made me laugh a lot so far as well. :) There are so many good ones, and the ones I mentioned have decent English subtitles too. "Kim Sam-Soon" and "I Really, Really Like You" are good dramas to watch also.

How can Christians look at Zeus and determine it's a fake god and yet believe the Christian god is real?

I just don't get it. There is no more evidence for Zeus than there is for the Christian god. Zeus is an older god than the Christian god. Books mentioning Zeus like the Iliad are older than the New Testament. A lot of Christian dogma is actually based on old Greek religions. So all the truth verification standards Christians apply to their religion can be applied to Zeus and Zeus actually comes up as more plausible than the Christian god. Yet the Christians casually dismiss Zeus, claim Zeus is not real and then go on believing an even faker god than Zeus. What mental defect cause such a warped mental process?

Why would my ex do this?

He obviously still loves you... even if he did cheat he probably regrets it now that he doesn't have you... like the old saying goes, 'you don't know what you have until it is gone'. Anyway now it all depends if you want him back.

Why isn't any political figure or candidate fair game for all of our comments, left or right?

How can i make my wiccan talisman?

Wiccans and witches are two different things. Google the word talisman. This will not really help you however unless you have fasted 3 days and know how to consecrate said talisman. The country is usually full of witches. You just don't know any of them. If you are wiccan, I doubt you ever will.

Even though, he has a girlfriend, he flirts with me like crazy at work?

I'm not really sure what your question is exactly, but I will try to offer some advice. You should attempt to tone down the relationship if he shows no sign of wanting to separate from his girlfriend, and you aren't even interested in him. Some people say flirting is harmless, but it could lead to something else at times. I would be pretty hot if I knew that my husband was flirting with someone else at work, so the girlfriend probably wouldn't like it either. If you do find yourself attracted to someone who flirts with you and has a girlfriend, be the bigger person and let him know that there is no chance for a relationship as long as he is with another woman.

My new husband wants to go out without me. I have no desire to go out without him. We have no kids.?

I discussed this with him before marriage n even though we argued he agreed it wouldn't be an issue and that there is nowhere he will go beyond work without me. Now a few months into the marriage the argument comes up. It is more of a hypothetical argument he hasn't said hey I am going out it starts with something like a family memb or friend may ask me to go out with them and I say no thanks. He says why don't you go? I explain I have no desire to go If I wanted to go out I wouldn't have got married n secondly if I did say gp to a movie n lunch with a friend I am afraid he will want to go out while I am Gone and I would not mind if he n a friend went golfing or fishing or hung out n play video games but his friends even though they start out with something simple as that almost always end up in a bar or at a party. I kno cause i with them! I trust him not to cheat but I feel it is disrespectful to our marriage n plain out wrong for either of us to be in a social setting where there is alcohol and single people without the other one. Not only does alcohol cloud judgments n bars and parties are the most likely place people put themselves in situations likely to tempt or cause problems plus I think the pure presence of either of us at a bar or party without the other is disrespectful to our marriage! First I have no desire to do anything with anyone besides him he is my best friend n I like being joined at the hip! However , if he must have the need for some male bonding, I told him if we could compromise and set some guidelines I could live with it. My offer is: we make plans ahead of time so neither of us is "left" at home pondering or bored. For example: next Saturday during the day he goes golfing and hangs out at his married best friends house n they play video games and maybe go out to eat while I go shopping and to a movie. But he says I am trying to control him and he can't promise they won't end up at a bar. Help! Am I being unreasonable or is he?

I've finally met with the woman I've chosen to court; how did I do?

Go ahead & pop that cork!!! I'd say you had quite an enchanting encounter with your old/new found friend. I believe the ONLY situation you're going to regret is your "cabin in the woods"...But with your way with words, I'm SURE you can come up with some fancy type of interpretation of your description being that of what you perceive/perceived in your mind...the best to you...:)

Help!! the guy I thought wasn't into me asked me to be his girl?!?

HE LIKES YOU. That's a given. I've been in a situation just like this. And you like him so say YES. The whole girl thing with the movie..he could be making it up to make you jealous? This same thing has happened to me. You should just ask him about it. And obviously he cares about you and this other girl is probably not even on his mind. Believe me. You're probably the first and last one he thinks about when he goes to sleep at night.

What do you think of my poems?

Strong endings on both. I like that. As far as content, I think you're trying too hard to rhyme. All poems dont need to rhyme to sound good. I think you're trying to be vivid with your details but you need to be a bit more dramatic. Sell me!! I like how it flows. Your ideas clearly go from one place to another without confusion. All-in-all I think they are good, but work in progresses. I feel you can do better.

Is the iliad a really long sonnet?

Hi there-- it's cool that you are interested in the Iliad and the you know that a sonnet has 14 lines. The Iliad is an epic poem, and no, it's not a sonnet.

FIRST RELATIONSHIP HELP???????

Ok me and my boyfriend have been dating for a while and he says i love you to me and says he cares for me all the time. We were skyping one time and i thought he was being kindof aggravating because he was just acting a little disrespectful. we got off and i wondered if he had a problem with our relationship and if he was annoyed with me or something bc he was acting differently. i couldnt skype him back so i messaged him asking him this and he said that he was sorry and that he wasnt annoyed with me. i replied oh ok do you have a problem being in a relationship with me then...and he didnt reply back. i feel hurt bc i dont know whats wrong or if he still wants to be in a relationship. should i just let it go and move on from this and let him come to me? or should i be kind of clingy and tell him that i would like an answer from him? this is long distance in different countries so i cant text or call him.....

A guy I'm talking to posted on FB that he went out with another girl?!?!?

At no time does it say in here that he is committed to you as a boyfriend. Sounds like you are assuming he is your boyfriend and that he does not think of you as his girlfriend. It sounds like all he was trying to do is get you to have sex with him. I would not make a big deal out of it, just do not trust him or pursue him. I am glad you had the sense not to sleep with him. Just because a guy is nice to you and does a few things with you does not mean you are special to him. Something like that takes time. The way to know how true, caring and honest a guy is to you is to save it for marriage.

How can I get him back?

If he's told you he's done with you, and he's asked you to accept him bringing other women back....then what can any of us tell you? You said it...he's DONE with you. You need to try and rebuild your life...for your own sake.

I can't deal with my dad, help?

I don't know why but for a long while now I just don't feel like leaving my room because leaving my room means dealing with my dad. It's not that I hate him, I like to think I don't hate anyone but honestly he is unbearable. When I had my friends over every single time he would unlock my door and just pry himself into my room and start talking to my friends. A lot of you must be thinking "oh that's nothing" but I don't even talk to my dad and the reason he came into my room was because people were there and he likes attention and talking to my friends but they aren't there for him. He is embarrassing and doesn't leave me alone. I tell him to leave my room and he tells me to shutup? Really? I've been nothing but a good girl for 17 years. I've never done drugs, smoked, had sex, nothing. I never really hung out with my friends because he is way too strict, I feel like I'm in prison and I feel so depressed because of it. I remember I was going to have a sleepover with my friend in elementry school and I'd been friends with her for over a year and we were the best of friends. My dad was like if you sleep over her house I'm calling the police.......Really.................Also another thing is during the school year I would hang out with my friends after school for a bit and he would tell me you can't go to their house. I'm freaking 17 years old, there's kids who have sex, do drugs, smoke, drink alcohol, get tattoos, get piercings, dye their hair weird colors, and I can't hang out with my friends........? I've never done anything to betray his trust and you know I'm starting to think I should do whatever the hell I want because I trust and know myself as a person and he doesn't. Don't tell me his intentions are good because you don't know my dad. All he cares about is money and if I'm doing good in school and that's it. He is a raging alcoholic in denial and verbally abusive to everyone especially my mom. He used to beat me and my brothers as kids with belts. He's the only person whose ever been so disrespectful to me in my life other than my brothers but they take after him. I just can't even talk to him, have a normal conversation, he just doesn't know how to act or be a dad. I don't hate him of course not but I just can't bear this situation right now. He makes me depressed. When I was focused on School and I had to sleep early he would argue with my mother late at night very loudly while he was drunk and it angered me because I wouldn't be able to sleep on time thus resulting in me being late to school the next morning. There's only so much a human being can take with all this fighting, verbal abuse, and nonsense. :\

Richard's got a point, but in ye ol' times, warriors and soldiers were held in high regard, being given great rewards for their 'feats of bravery' etc. elevating them to a higher caste level than say a farmer

I love to read historical fiction, and I love ancient Greece. Why not put the too together. Any suggestions on a good book? That isn't the Iliad and the Odyssey (I have read them). I always get those answers when I ask these questions. I want something written in this century please. Thanks!

My ex invites me on a date.....with his girlfriend? And she doesn't know about us going out???HELP?

first of all how can you be very close to a guy who according to you cheated and lied and disrespected you? you also say you are gay, so i am a little confused, maybe you are too, however, i feel this guy is basically a dishonest person and i feel he is using you to play games with or to try to make his now GF jealous, i also think that someone should tell his GF that he is bi sexual, with all the inherent risks to her health, even if he practises safe sex, i found out my ex husband is gay after many years of marriage and 3 children, which left us all devastated at the time, if he is so sure of his sexuality then why hide it. I definatley think his GF has a right to know, if you do decide to go with them you could always drop it casually into the conversation , say something like didnt we have a good time when we went to such and such, or if your brave enough ask him in front of her ifn her has checked out the lastest gay club or whatever, if she doesn't get the message then god help her?,, but seriously i would cut this guy out of your life for good, dont answer any texts or calls and tell him to stp discusssing your past relationship with everyone, he is too dishonest for my liking and i do feel his GF should know what he is like before she gets in too deep at least if she knows and stay with him then at least she has an informed choice and is not totally ignorant about his past hope this helps you

The actual trojan war occured this many years before homer wrote the iliad?

As the war assumed to be over Troy happened in 1250 bc, and the poem was written sometime between 900 to 600 bc , it would be safe to guess about 300 to 400 years passed between the two. Check wikipedia for more information.

Why does he listen to his mum more than me?

Because his mom kept him in her stomach for months then finally gave birth to him. Then breast feeded him for another couple of months then took care of him and brought him up until he is a grown up man that you see today. Thats the reason he and most of other men or women love their moms and listens to them. In most of the cases to their moms more then any other person due to the reason that they value the effort, hard work and time spent for their up bringing.

How long is a proper time to mourn my estranged husbands death?

There is no proper time. It's not your fault what happened and those people who talked just have nothing better to do with their lives than make nasty comments about others. Just ignore them. If you want to go out and dance then you go and dance. Who says you should be at home mourning? It doesn't mean you'll ever forget him just means that you're getting on with your own life as you should be. Love and grief is funny like that. It works different for everyone so if you feel it's time you want to go out and do what you want then it doesn't matter what those kinda people think. They're sad and pathetic. Just do what you feel you're up to and forget about others. Only you'll know when it's time to move on and if it feels right then just go with it :) X

Merry go round angular acceleration?

This is a conservation of angular momentum problem, not a conservation of energy problem, so use the angular momentum equation (angular momentum = moment of inertia * omega), not the rotational kinetic energy equation. Otherwise, though, all your logic and computations look correct. BTW, alpha is usually used to denote angular acceleration while omega usually denotes angular velocity (you used the right numbers in the right places, you just used the wrong symbol when you wrote out the basic equation).

Theme in Homer's Iliad?

I'm doing a crossword for the Iliad and the question is: Theme announced at the start of the Iliad. It has to be 4 letters long and start with a. Any ideas?

Help! This guy I talk to might not be into me anymore?

Whoa at first it sounded like the same situation I'm in. I work with the Guy we've been to the movies and out to eat. Now he's been acting weird lately. Hardly texting me, not as much as he used to. Checks out girls in front of me And told his friend he can't just have one girl. I say drop the boy. Drama isn't worth it.

Atheists, are you a reader of pagan literature?

Your criteria for calling these books "pagan" is peculiar to your own religious prejudice. I am 50 years old so I am outside of your arbitrary age grouping, but yes I am literate. Therefore I read books of all kinds without prejudice. I have enjoyed reading literally thousands of books on every topic including politics, religion, poetry, literature and every kind of non-fiction. Why should I not? I read for various reasons, sometimes some friend or family member has recommended a book. Sometimes I just need to look something up, sometime out of pure curiosity, or because a book has an interesting title. Sometimes I read books for pleasure and sometimes in the course of my studies. Sometimes I will become fond of a particular author and I will read everything they have published. It depends largely on the quality of the writing and the depth of the material.

Which novel in this list should I read for summer?

"Emma" by Jane Austen is a great read! Well, honestly, any Jane Austen book is a great read. If you've ever seen the movie Clueless, you'll love reading Emma and noticing all of the little similarities between the two. I believe that Clueless is actually loosely based on Emma, as a matter of fact. Read it, love it, then give Pride and Prejudice a go!

I'm a 13 year old girl and I told my parents about a boyfriend I've had and I told them how long I've been dating him.

Hi! Its me Daniel. The fellow who you supported and help him grow as a poet. I am pround to say I am on the staff of my school's poetry magazine the Iliad. Plus I have some pretty good poets preparing to go mainstream and some old ones here online. But besides that: who is one of the greatest rookie poets here online? I was just wondering. If you think you are a good rookie poet, let me know. If not just please give your opion. I wish we could start some type of club and writer ranking/support group here on answers. Well peace-Daniel. (And I have so many thoughts going through my head at the moment sorry for getting off topic!) :D

What does helen symbolize in the Iliad? Is she a person and why would they fight over someone they don't know?

In the Iliad, Helen is a woman of immense beauty for whom thousands of men are willing to fight and die. But is she really a woman? Would 50,000 men really be willing to leave their homes for 10 years just to fight for one woman whom they do not personally know? Most literary scholars believe that this is highly unlikely. So, if there wasn't a woman named Helen, and she is just a symbol, what does she represent? The Iliad is full of clues as to what objects and concepts that Helen represents. I have to write a persuasive essay to convince the teacher of three objects/concepts that I believe the character Helen symbolizes in the Greek epic but I don't understand what she is, what is Helen?!

The illiad.. help please!!?

Greeks often say, to go beyond your limits, to rise above the ordinary, to be a hero, is a dangerous thing. It may excite the jealousy of the gods and bring your to destruction. How do you see it applied on Iliad in several occasions? Comment it supporting with clear evidences from Iliad.

What do you think of my Characters?

pretty good so far but I wish you would list more personal traits about them, what traits draw them together. Nathaniel seems like a boring rational person who has no interest for love at all when he is described. Also I'm confused about how hes a diligent church goer why is he atheistic, it would be fine except he meets his love at a place that he doesn't really enjoy. But maybe thats a good thing, good job anyway

From the Iliad by Homer. What does Agamemnon want out of the war in terms of greed? Like does he want land or the satisfaction of defeating the Trojans or what?

Sweet 16, it's been vamped up and showcased among all of us teens. Although I know that's not how it happens to most of us teens. So I wonder what was the role your parents play in getting you a car?

a long while ago i started getting into greek mythology. i read the iliad and was surprised that it ended with hectors funaral games. Then i went onto reading the odyssey where a few questions were answered but not all. Now im reading the Aeneid. I just finished book 2 and the most ive seen is achilles son killing prium.

A merry-go-round rotates at the rate of 0.15 rev/s with an 85-kg man standing at a point 2.0 m from the axis of rotation. The new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0.6 m from the center is 4.6 rad/sec knowing that the merry-go-round is a solid 25-kg cylinder of radius 2.0 m. Calculate the change in kinetic energy due to this movement.

Isn't it surprising that Obama and liberals are actively trying to assassinate Quaddafi with the US military?

If you hide a bomb under someones chair that's assassination. If you drop a bomb on someones head that's an act of war. Either way, that someone is just as dead. But one way you're a hero, and one way you're a creep. Go figure!

Casey Anthony Innocent of Murder?

Unfortunately, I agree with everything you said. Just pray to God that when she gets out she doesn't have another child or we'll be right back here again. If she gets off do you think George and Cindy will take her back home like nothing ever happened?

Does anyone out there think its ok for a person to leave the home for hours on end and not let anyone know whe?

this is someone who never has time for the important things like making doctor appointments and such but sems to find time to move other people from one house to another or visit friends for hours,please give your thoughts on this subject because we fight about it all the time.

Is it disrespectful to our daughter if we as parents are civil to her boyfriend during a breakup?

My daughter and her boyfriend were in the process of calling it quits and I told them both to keep their chins up and move on respectfully and end it civil. I don't dislike him because he works, pays his bills and we were told he was good to her and her two sons. He did things as a family, took them all fishing, did boy things and now my daughter thinks that being nice or civil to him is disrespecting her. I told both of them the same thing by writing to both of them at the same time to prove the relationship is not one sided. Money was borrowed to them together but we are waiving that just to have closure and end on civil terms because we always try to make the best of any situation because we never know when we will meet that person again. Now we received an email stating we disrespected her by talking civil to him.

What do you do when a girl starts treating you bad?

This girl I know used to be really sweet and nice. I think she had a crush on me. She started dating some other guy and now she's really rude. She won't return texts or messages, she's disrespectful, has insulted me and flakes out constantly. She never did that kind of thing before.

Why can't 'christians' understand that the same kind of imagination that created the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey"?

and all the fanciful 'events' in those epic stories could not have been operating with the writers of the gospels? People have been writing fiction for a long, long time, and the narrative style of the gospels is fiction, not history.

Family advice please help?

Okay well I met my cousin when I was four years old. I only met her once in my life. She lives about 7 hours away from us. When my aunt (her mother) died we did not go to her wake because her body would not be there. Her daughter had her cremated. I had not seen my aunt since I was four years old. But I did talk to her over the phone and so did my parents. My cousin never kept in contact much only sometimes over the phone. She never returned calls or told her daughter to say thank you for a birthday gift we sent her. She sent me a message over facebook asking how everything was ect. Last Christmas I sent her a message on facebook wishing her and her family a Merry Christmas and she never responded. Well my cousin has three children now. I have never met them but I wish to. I do not understand why. My mother said that I am the furthest thing from her mind. I agree with her. Other family members besides her had children and I want to meet my other cousins too. For some reason I feel that someday I won't have family because I'm the only child. Why do I get upset that I can't meet them?

I have to write dramatic stories for scriptwriting, and I completely have writer's block. Can anyone help think of a great, dramatic idea? Maybe something original but usable. The more, the merrier. I need to write a bunch in order to pass. Thanks so much in advance.

Help!! This guy asked me out but I thought he wasnt into me!?

Why not ask him (or text him) to ask if he hasn't confused you with the girl he took to see the Green Lantern? Give him a chance to explain that, and you'll get a clearer picture if it is you or your pants he is interested in. Don't give in to his needs, though. That would be a big mistake.

How successful or helpful are dermatologists?

I personally loved seeing a dermatologist for my acne. Yes a doctor has to give you a referral to go see one but that's fairly simple if you just tell them you want an acne solution cause you hate the stupid buggers. I went and they were super nice. They look at your skin closely and never say ANYTHING mean to you or make u feel uncomfortable. They ask you about your diet, how much you exercise, etc. then they prescribe you some stuff and you're good to go! My acne has gone from moderately-severe to mild almost. I just have scars and even those are fading with time and some medication/home remedies. hope this helps!

What are some good book recommendations?

What should I be when i'm older?

I really have no idea what I am going to be when i'm older. The things I enjoy are usually hands on activities, like joinery, but when i started researching fine field work like that, I noticed their wouldn't be much work in the future for it, so that is most likely crossed off. I enjoy wearing suites also. In school, my best subjects are science, math, wood-shop, and computer programming. I don't want to be a programmer though since I find it pretty boring. Do you have any suggestions? The more the merrier. I also want to have a good paying salary. If you post a job, putting a average salary with it and schooling length would be awesome! Thank-you :D

The Iliad vs The Odyssey?

I am going to be a sophomore next year, and we have to read Watership Down, another book(?), and The Iliad or The Odyssey. I was just wondering which should I read? I like books that delve into characters and have strong plots.

How do I live with my mom when she hates me and i hate her?

Your story really moved me. Im sorry your feeling like this. When you dont "pretend" everything is perfect, its reminding your mom, that everything is a mess. Thats why shes taking it out on you, because she wants everybody around her to pretend that everything is okay. She knows deep down inside, that she has failed as a mom. (Well im sure she hasnt failed, but in some aspects she did) But the one thing im sure she did right, was raise a good daughter:) You seem like your a very caring and smart person. When your 18 you could decide where you want to live. I think its best you live with your dad. Your mom seems like shes depressed, ya know i kind of feel bad for her. Even with bad people, their behavior isnt acceptable, but its understandable. You cant spend your whole entire life trying to fix your mom's life. But you can improve your OWN life. She needs to fix her life, she cant be living this way any more. She sounds like shes being selfish but when your depressed- you can be very selfish. When you are allowed- you should move out. Hopefully in a few years this divorce will be over and smoothed out. And dont say that your not worthy of her love- of course you are. :) Hang in there, everything will be okay.

Should I try to make things work, or end it now?

I like him so much and we have done everything but sex and we were going to but he said I'm too obsessive and emotionally attached to him and that it pisses him off so he told me that we aren't going to talk for three weeks and I asked why and he said "because you need to stop being obsessive before I **** you..so you better not text me for three weeks or we will never talk or hangout again..and I know you don't want that" I feel like that was really disrespectful and mean to say. Idk what to do because I really like him but I feel like he is just using me :( What do you think I should do?

Just got a filling instead of root canal...?

so not been dentist for a LONG time yep had the lecture today and feel adeqately scorned and stupid..... anyway a tooth chipped so i had a temp filling 4 weeks ago had no pain/infection etc just a cusp broke off my back lower molar. anyway today after my telling off my dentist cleaned my teeth for me :) and then removed my temp filling as well as the amalgam one that was in the same broken tooth and then said the decay was "quite deep" and may need a root canal but once she got in there she said i could chance a filling or go for the root canal being agorophobic as well as not to fond of the dentist i obviously opted for the filling she said it had a 50/50 chance shes put what i think is a clove oil cotton wool ball in there as that is all i can taste! and then put a white temp filling on top and sent me on my merry way she says if i have no pain in the next two weeks when i go back on the 16th june she will put a permanent filling and that will be that. what im now wondering tho is should i have just had the root canal done are these type of fillings successful? i havent had any pain so far..... she said there was no infection just that the decay was close to the nerve..... am scared im going to get pain and knowing my luck it will be a friday night or saturday morning when my dentist isnt open until monday..... would love some advice from a dentist or anyone else thats had this done and it worked or unfortunately didnt work... thanks in advance

How do you stop a pit bull from attacking or charging?

I was chased this morning by a loose pit bull in the middle of my morning run of 4.2 miles. He appeared out of nowhere from a side street and approached me full speed while barking and growling. This was not a puppy. It was full grown muscular pit bull. In a moment of panic I broke from jogging into a top speed run. Thinking back I know this was wrong but it was either fight or flight so I chose to fly. I crossed a busy two-lane road and continued running. He crossed as well and gave chase for about 60 yards of course closing the gap but not quite catching up with me. Surprisingly no cars passed at this time. To my surprise and good fortune he stopped chasing turned around and went about his merry way. I noticed he had on a collar so he was obviously someones pet and had apparently gotten loose. I've run this route without fail for 3 plus years and have never before encountered any loose dogs. I was terrified for my life and was thinking if this dog had actually gotten to me what the heck would I have done or could I have done? I see on the news all the time where pit bull attacks are often tragic and even fatal. As I ran I scanned the ground for some type of brick, rock, stick, weapon, etc., but found nothing so I just kept running. I had to pass the same area to return home or run an additional 7 miles just to get back. I armed myself with a brick and a stick I found on up the road upon coming back. Fortunately on my return jog home the dog was nowhere to be found. I had to shower and make it to work so I didn't have time to go looking for the dog after wards but I have called the proper authorities (animal control and local police) to let them know. This is a common route that other walkers, runners and kids follow as well. I'm concerned for their safety as well as my own on future runs. Though terrified. I'm not willing to give up my morning run. If found in this position again what's my best move? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Why are the Gods in the Iliad Roman Gods instead of Greek?

It is a Greek epic. You may have a certain translation of the Iliad which replaces the Greek god's names with the Roman equivalents. The Roman gods were basically the same as the Greek gods only with different names, i.e Minerva is actually Athena, Juno is Hera, and Jupiter is Zeus.

Can I get Food-stamps of my own when I move out of my insane mother's house?

I am a 20 year old woman in California and I currently live with my mom who gets Food Stamps for me. I am going to be moving in with my fiancee as soon as Fall semester starts for College because my mother and I don't get along. I was wondering if once I move out, will I be able to get Food-stamps for myself and what will happen to the Food-stamps my mother is now receiving for me? I am also worried that she will be angry with me once she is not receiving any financial support from me anymore. She gets enough money for disability for both her and my disabled sister, yet she is very careless with the way she spends the Food-stamps and her own money. She is in debt which is her fault but I just cannot live with her anymore even if that means she is going to have to suffer financially. I feel bad, but I have no choice, and I am bound to leave her anyways once I am married, have children and start my own career. She is just SO controlling and anytime I leave with my fiancee and spend the night at his place she throws a fit and tells me that I am ruining my reputation because the neighbors will think we are engaging in intercourse out of wedlock which is really none of her business and this is 2011, not 1911 but she is EXTREMELY religious and judgmental. She also has the potential to become very angry to the point where she becomes violent and a danger to others. She has in the past proven to be with me and others. She accuses me of being a whore, a lesbian, unfaithful, a satanist, mentally ill, and abusive which none of these accusations are at all true. She also performs unwanted "exorcisms" (Or so I'd like to call them) on me. I will be in the kitchen or anywhere and she will out of nowhere grab me by my arm and scream in my face for the devil to come out, and put praying oil on me. It is very scary and it disturbs me very much. I believe in God, and I am a Christian but I am not crazy religious like THAT. I'm getting sick of her constantly putting me down....I don't have the devil in me and I am a good person. I am never disrespectful to her even though she says I am but only because I don't let her control me and I visit my fiancee which I have the freedom to do. She has threatened to call the cops on him if she sees him around even though he has never done anything wrong to her. The only thing is because his step-mom and my mother got into an argument over the phone after he picked me up and took me to his place for Easter. My mother threatened to harm them if they did not bring me back so they agreed to take me back for their safety which I understand. But, my plans with my love and his family were ruined. She is not as aggressive anymore when I leave to go see him but she is unpredictable, especially because she is schizophrenic (literally) What do I do? Please help. :(

What can be done with a very unruly disrespectful boy in Toledo Oh?

It has been 10 years since the divorce and this boy is still acting this way? He definately has big problems and I would suggest beginning to see a different counselor and perhaps even a psychologist instead. His issues are more than can be handled by the mother or the boyfriend. Get him to a psychologist before he gets physical or he may end up in juvenial hall! (Kid jail).

Who is in the wrong here?

My fiancee smokes pot and I HATE it, I mean, I have nothing against smokin' folk, but when he smokes, he becomes negligent, ignores me, and gets dependent on it and if he can't find any, he resorts to spice (incense K12) and that makes him downright disrespectful and careless to everything and anything that pertains to me. I asked him ( this was like 3 months ago) if he would be respectful enough to ask me before he just goes off and does it since it is something I really hate. I said "if you have the respect enough to ask if it would bother me, it would really make things a lot smoother". I am not trying to control him, cause he knows he does whatever he wants, I just want him to realize that something that makes me uneasy, should be discussed, as if my opinion on the matter is valid in whether he does it or not. So for the past 3 months, just about every time he wants to buy some, he comes up, tries to manipulate me with hugs and kisses and of course I say it is okay, I have been so lenient and okay with it cause he has had the respect to ask me. Yesterday, he dawns on me that "it doesn't matter what you say, yes or no.. I am going to do it anyway cause I neeeeeeeed it, my job sucks" I said "so why did you ask me in the first place!" he said "cause you asked me to, so you would think your opinion is valid when it really isn't, you can't control me, I am going to do what I want, and when I want, you have no say" I said " I don't want to control you, I just don't like you doing it! What, you think I wanted you to ask me cause I just wanted to hear the words?" After all that, with no solution, we played the silent treatment, went to his moms for a feast, at this time he was starting to be nice to me, as if he was going to be sorry. On the way back, we drove to walmart and parked right along side his Cousins car (his cousin was in the car) my fiancee hands me a 20$ bill and asks me to go shopping for food, I look dumbfounded as to why we are here, then he gets out of the car to get into his Cousins car and I go "are you kidding me? After this huge, unsolved argument that took the whole day you are going to go smoke up in your cousins car and send me to buy milk and eggs.." he goes "yup, well if you want to buy cookies, go ahead, I told you I am going to do what I want, see you in a bit". So now I am infuriated by his audacity, who is in the wrong here, and who is in the right, if anyone, just be honest. I need someone to make sense.

FMLA, I received a written final warning stating that my leave was not approved, days later I get aproval help?

I got approval letter from our home office after my District Manager gave me a written (final) warning. I have been with the Company for 3 1/2 years & have never been wrote up until taken my fmla leave. Since then I have had an additional write up for something that was not relevent. My boss now treats me very disrespectful & I was just wondering is this how fortune 100 companies treat everyone that take FMLA leave? I love my job & have always gave 110 percent but, it seems since I was out those 3 weeks that now they are trying everything they can to terminate me. So is fmla really worth all the trouble it causes?

Then our employers started asking us to do household chores and were exremly rude to us on top of it, so we decided to quit. I quit in the middle of the week I was supossed to be working on a tuesday night, and I offered to work the rest of the week so they could find a replacement but they were disrespectful and rude to my parents and I. I waited a week after I quit to get a paycheck and they never sent it, so i talked to them and they were rude once again, and told me that they refused to pay me. I am 15 years old and no contract was signed but the payment of 125 dollars a week was agreed upon. Is there any way I can get them to pay me, legally? Please help, I feel they are acting unjust and unmoral.. expecially to a 15 year old..

Girls flirt with my boyfriend in front of me. What am I doing wrong?

You shouldn't have to do anything, your boyfriend should say something. That same thing use to happen to me. so I know what your talking about. Come to find out he was eye(ing)ing or in better words checking them out. It is very disrespectful when other girls do that but there is no need to egg them on. But he was the main cause. And he was also disrespectful to me doing that. It seems like every where we went this was happening. And the worse part he wouldn't say anything to them, which made me feel like an idiot. I guess his ego overrode my feelings. I'm not saying your boyfriend is doing that. But just keep an eye out. Good luck.

Did you know the Bible has more manuscript evidence than any other ancient writing?

Yes, it was popular, but that doesn't make it true. And does your internal consistency include the difference between the Codex Sinaiticus, the Textus Receptus and the Septuagint?

How do you live holy and receive the holy spirit?

Living Holy as a human does not mean being perfect, because we are human. We are bound to make mistakes. But thats where God's grace steps in. He loves us and forgives us even though we mess up again and again, even when we sware up and down we'll never do it again and eventually do the very thing we said we wouldn't do. We can pray for the victory over our sins however. GB

What are some examples of epic poems about love?

When I say epic poems, I don't mean poems that are epic, I mean epic poems, like the Iliad and the Odyssey. I'm doing a poetry project and we have to choose a topic (I chose love because it seemed easy) and find a variety of poems about it. I have to have two epic poems pertaining to love in some way. Please help; English is almost my worst subject, and if I get an F on this project there's no way I'll be able to bring it back up!

Girls flirt with my boyfriend in front of me. What am I doing wrong?

You should never start a fight. NEVER. Apparently you boyfriend only has eyes for you, which is good. However, maybe these women are trying to get a rise out of you. Are you secure in your relationship and do you have a reason to suspect that he is cheating on you. If not, then you are good. This is a dog eat, dog world and the woman who has the man has to work that much harder to keep him. As long as he know whose home waiting for him when he get there or who will arrive at the same time as him you should have no concerns. BUT DON"T LET DOWN YOU GUARD AROUND OTHER WOMEN! Most well get the hint others will do everything in their power to take him from you. Also, talk to some people you know who are dating- rather its a guy or a girl- see what they say too.

Should i move on from this and let him come crawling back to me or should i keep trying to figure this out?

Ok me and my boyfriend have been dating for a while and he says i love you to me and says he cares for me all the time. We were skyping one time and i thought he was being kindof aggravating because he was just acting a little disrespectful. we got off and i wondered if he had a problem with our relationship and if he was annoyed with me or something bc he was acting differently. i couldnt skype him back so i messaged him asking him this and he said that he was sorry and that he wasnt annoyed with me. i replied oh ok do you have a problem being in a relationship with me then...and he didnt reply back. i feel hurt bc i dont know whats wrong or if he still wants to be in a relationship. should i just let it go and move on from this and let him come to me? or should i be kind of clingy and tell him that i would like an answer from him? this is long distance in different countries so i cant text or call him.....

Why did the war in the book "The Iliad" begin?

It started with a wedding. The wedding of the mortal king Peleus and the Nereid Thetis was attended by almost all of the gods. Eris, goddess of strife and mischief, was left out. Outraged, the goddess appeared at the wedding and threw into the air a golden apple. Inscribed in the apple are the words: "To the fairest of them all". The goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all tried to take the apple and claim the title. They turned to Zeus to choose between the three of them who should have the apple. Zeus asked the counsel of the prince Paris. Hera bribed Paris with the power in the world to conquer everything he likes. Athena offered him wisdom and knowledge. Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful mortal woman in the world, Helen of Troy. Paris chose Aphrodite. Aphrodite told him that if he would go to the land of Troy and abduct Helen, she would choose him over her husband Menelaus. Paris then traveled to Troy pretending it was a social visit. When Menelaus was away, Paris abducted Helen and stole half of the king's treasures. Menelaus, of course, was outraged. He waged war against the Greeks.

My boyfriend brought up how upset he was about something dealing with his ex-girlfriend..HELP?

Me and my boyfriend of 3 weeks were walking and talking, and he brought up this one festival (that was like a month and a half ago) that he went to that was in our town and he said that he was very angry that day, and was angry about it for days and he had to vent to his friend Andrew about it for hours. I asked him why he was mad and he said that it was something his friend John said about someone. Right as he said that I knew what he was talking about, although he didn't know that I know. I know from another friend that he was angry that day because his friend John said something really disrespectful about his then-girlfriend, who is also one of my good friend's. So, I pretended to not know what it was that John said that made him angry that day and I'm just like "Tell meeee" and all that and he's all like "No no, I mean I'll tell you one day.." And I'm just teasing him sorta like "Come onnn. Will you ever tell me?" And he's like "Probably not!" And I'm like "Well, why can't you tell me?" and he's like "Because, I don't think it's something you would feel comfortable discussing." And with that it ended. Ugh, do you think he's still into his ex because he brought it up and was very upset about it back then, and still kind of annoyed that his friend John would say that? Or am I just reading into it too much? thank you!

My dad is so disrespectful to my mom, I can't take it?

Everyday for my whole existence (17 years) my father has verbally abused my mother. Where to begin........My mother is honest to god the sweetest person I've ever had in my life. Everything she does it's for her kids and never for herself. She cooks, cleans, does everything and doesn't expect a thank you. My father is an alcoholic but in denial, he has gotten drunk every night for the past 17+ years. He yells at my mom all the time, calls her stupid, dumb, even calls her a cow....Which is so freaking disrespectful to say to the mother of your 3 kids. The woman who does your laundry, cooks your food, cleans your house, does everything while you sit your butt down and watch tv. I have an anger problem because I can't deal with him saying that to my mom, I feel the need to defend her because I can't see this happening but no matter how much I scream, curse, or whatever, the process repeats day after day with no change. I obviously can't sit down and have a conversation with him because he won't change his ways, he is how he is and that's how he's staying. I just can't imagine the impact he's leaving on my mom that's why I try to be as nice to her as I can and tell her not to listen to my dad. She's NEVER done anything bad to him and while me and my brothers were litte kids he would leave my mom worried sick at home while he was out partying very late at night. I just don't have any respect for him as of now. I don't know what to do. Someone help me. :(
