Question #1:

I am in love with a christian woman?

I have been separated for 6 months now and I have 2 kids (3 and 5 years old). We have both been seeing someone serious now and have moved on. We both get along better now than when we were together as a couple. The woman I am dating is very special to me, she doesn't have any kids and is well aware of my responsibility to them. Just recently she has distanced herself from me because she wants to focus on God like she used to. What ever we did intimately in the past 5 months really frustrates her because she feels there will be consequences. I was born into a catholic family but I never practiced it and now after all these years I have been feeling so empty. My girlfriend tells me that I am not right for her because I am not Christian and that it means so much to her family. Nobody knows about us because of my situation. The other thing is that I am working towards a divorce but it's just going to take a little time and some money to get it done. Even after my divorce she worries that I will not be able to provide for her and our family if we were to get married. I do have a well paying job and yes it's going to be difficult for a little while but it's not forever. The thing is is that I trully do love her and I never felt so complete with someone like her. She talks about god and her church and how good the messages are on Sundays. I have an interest but I feel like I need her guidance. I am willing to accept god and I feel like maybe this was some kind of calling why her and I should be together. She makes me feel bad sometimes because she she feels like I am doing this for her and not because I want to. Yes, I do want to be with her and yes I want to learn more about god too. If it really makes her feel so happy I wonder what it will do for me? How do I prove myself to her that this is for real and that this can work or can it not? Can you help?

Question #2:

Is my son strange for doing this?

My son eight years old is very obsessive of the way he looks. He'll go to bed early because he doesn't want tired bags under his eyes. He'll place a warm wash cloth over his eyes when they're puffy in the mornings. He washes and then splashes his face with cold water to close up the pores. Takes his shower. He applies lotion so his skin won't dry out then he'll comb his hair for about fifteen minutes until it's perfectly done. Then he'll brush his teeth for near to ten minutes (he loves it for some reason) floss. Then he'll iron his already ironed polo and khakis (my son will wear nothing besides khakis dress pants dress shirts and polos). Then after getting dressed he'll polish his shoes (he refuses to wear sneakers the only other shoes he'll wear are his basketball and football shoes and that's only to games and practice). I think it's great he does all of this. However, isn't it a bit strange. My other kids hate waking up and could care less about how they look. Not Julian though he's always up on time and ready for school ten minutes ahead of time polishing his shoes.

Question #3:

what do you consider torture?

i see this word thrown around a lot when people explain why they don't eat animals. i figure i may have a different definition, but i'm not a vegetarian. be specific about what practices of farming/hunting/etc you consider torture.
not trying to start a debate, just getting opinions

Question #4:

What exactly is Wicca?

I learned about Wicca through the television. I was watching "A Haunting". The woman was attacked by something connected to that cult or religion yet I noticed that a lot of people still practice it. I'm not trying to bash this belief I just want to know more about it. Are there actual repercussions for practicing Wicca? What exactly is it all about?

Question #5:

I want to sex her up...?

i realy love her and im sure she loves me..problem is some people have used her for sex...(wham Bam thank you mam)..
soooo shes cautious about sex.. how do i show her that i wont use her for sex and that not only do i express my love through affection but also through making love?



is it so hard to believe that not all guys will use women for sex?

side note: guys are always being accused of this practice..but there are many women who would use guys for sex as well...we are all the same..its just that guys are more aggressive and expressive about sex then women are.

Question #6:

How can I get video clips,movie clips, footage to practice editing?

How can I practice nonlinear editing. Along with footage I shoot where else can I get clips to edit. Can i rip dvds and edit movies. Is that possible or where do people on youtube get thier clips from movies?

Question #7:

Years of hit after hit, has led me to be socially inept. What do I do?

It will be long, because there are a lot of things that I feel have contributed to the way I am now.

1) My mother was/is a recluse, and because of that, while I lived with her (till I was 14), she did not let me do anything but go to school (she drove me) and come home. I couldn't play baseball because she wouldn't take me, I couldn't go to friends houses because she wouldn't let me. There was never a reason to it, besides the fact that she was a recluse and wanted me to be the same way.
2) I remember, one day, one of the girls in my middle school class, put a "i like you not" in my desk. I didn't see it, and it was the day of the parent teacher conference. My mother found it in my desk, and made fun of me for it. She put it on the fridge, and made me feel like I did something wrong.

- I moved out of my moms house to stay with my father when I was 14.

3) My father immediately made it clear he didn't want me. Claiming, "I don't have the time to deal with you". He was more focused on himself (still is) than me. He is a wealthy man, and did nothing to "raise" me, but provide me with a room. In fact, he refused to take the time to buy me a bed, so for at least 2 years, I slept on the carpet floor. I had to walk to the high school on my own to register myself. I was 14. He did nothing but throw money at me and demand I wasn't home when he was. (He would constantly bring home dates).

At this point, because of the way my mother raised me, I was terrible in social situations. I had no practice. I had one friend in my freshmen year in high school, and the only thing I remember about him, relating to the only girl I had ever asked out in high school. It was because of my friend saying "just do it". I still remember her face, clearly thinking I was a joke. She said no. That was the year before I moved in with my father. I kept in contact with my friend for a little while over the internet. The thing I remember was, the girl I had asked out, asked him for his camera, and took naked pictures of herself and sent them to him. He got all the girls. I was clearly the weird friend. I was depressed, and almost killed myself.

Now at this new high school, (sophmore year), a few people befriended me, but then turned out to just do it as a joke. I made one friend over the entire next 3 years in that new high school, it was a girl. I some how, got her to go out with me. She was my first kiss. A day or so after that, she called me, and said "i am sorry" and long story short, one of those guys who "Befriended me", went up to the girl, asked her out, and did everything with her, just to make me look stupid and bad. He succeeded. She apologized to me, after realizing why the other guy did what he did. I immediately hung up and never talked to her again. I remember walking by her in the hall ways, and she would try to talk to me, and I couldn't look at her, or say a word. I even remember her crying because I wouldn't even talk to her. I met her my sophomore year in high school. I didn't talk to another person at that school in any context but something to do with class ever since. All I did was study, praying I could get away from those people, my father and mother.

I got into a out of state college, (Ohio state) with a full ride. My father didn't even come to my graduation. My mother wouldn't leave to make the 4 hour long drive. The only person who came was my brother.

At college, I kind of felt like I could start over, and it worked. I made a few friends and had one girl friend. For some reason, (Probably lack of social training), I screwed it up with the girl by saying something that pissed her off, and I ended up just drifting apart from the friends. I remember on several occasions they would jokingly tell me "we thought you died" because for months at a time, I wouldn't leave me room for anything but class and I ate nothing but chips in my room.

I transferred from Ohio state to go to USC (this time I had to pay), and didn't talk to a single person for the entire time I was there. I went 2 years without getting a single persons phone number. The only person I ever called was my brother. I gained around 70 pounds over that time, and did nothing but study and eat.

I took the last year off, and lost all the weight. I also made it into medical school, and that is were I am now. A few people here have kind of befriended me, but I already feel myself drifting apart.

I know, years of bad/neglectful parents and bad memories of every friend I ever made had led me to be really socially inept. I fear I am either going to just go back to being antisocial, or piss these people off to the point where I don't have a choice but to be antisocial.

How can I get over 22 years of terrible background.

Question #9:

I think Yahoo is practicing religious discrimination what should I do?

I have had all three of the questions I asked in R&S about Pastafarianism removed and appeals declined. Other religions may ask about their holidays why may I not ask about Ramendan? I think Yahoo is discriminating against me because I worship FSM (sauce be upon Him). What can I do about this?

This IS the serious question so please no reporting or making fun of it.

Question #11:

Pleeease please help, tense legs!?

Okay, so I play field hocky and usually take a summer camp to get in ready before trying out for the team. But this year I went to a sleep away camp and missed it. I tried out yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I'll make it (8 cuts and most people haven't played before.) but our coach made us do so many workouts (I've never done this many in one practice with her) and my muscles in my legs are killing me. I could barely walk in school today. Tryouts start again on Friday and I'm afraid I'll get cut because I can't run (and for those of you who don't play field hocky it's 99% running), someone PLEEEEASE help me! :(

Question #12:

Help on domains? 10 pts first answer!?!?!?!?

A. (g+f)(x)
B. (f/g)(x)
C. (g-f)(x)
D. g(f(x))
E. f(g(x))

These are practice for a test, so I'm not cheating guys. I think the answer is C, but I just wanted to check.

Question #13:

Paranormal? Unexplained? Am I going crazy?

We moved into our new house July 2009. There was 1 previous owner. They still live in the neighborhood so I intend to talk to them soon about the events we are experiencing.
Beginning in Feb 2010 I started noticing little things. I would see something move out of the corner of my eye, or see shadows, but nothing would be there. It would happen often, enough to make me think I was going crazy. At night I would hear what sounded like someone walking down the hallway (we have wood floors, no creaking sounds, but just the sound of bare feet on the floor). I would always get up to see if one of my kids were up, but nobody would be there.
Starting in June of this year I started seeing the shadows and hearing the footsteps more frequently.
One night in July I was sitting on the couch and thought I saw my daughter running behind the couch down the hallway. She was almost 2yrs old at the time and I can usually only see her head as she passes by anyway. I got up to see where she was going and she was in another room deepy involved with a toy and her sister and I honestly believe it was not her.
My son (who is 8) started telling me in August that he was hearing voices at night. He said that it sounds like 2 people having a conversation. The only words he can ever make out clearly are his name and "ok". He's never had an issue with darkness or doors being closed, but as of a couple months ago he begs for a nightlight or his closet lights to be on because he says he feels like someone is watching him at night when he sleeps.
I've had the dvr just pause itself while watching a show, when nobody is around the remote. This has happend a handful of times and I'm sure can be chalked up to a glitch.

The experience that has me a little uneasy happend last night.
We returned home from my son's football practice at 8pm. I told him to get in the shower. I put my youngest child to bed and my middle child got on the couch to watch tv. I ran to my room to change into my pj's. As I came out of my room and looked down into the hallway I saw a perfect shadow take off running to the left (towards my son's room). It was the exact size/frame of my son. I got a bit angry because I thought he was goofing off instead of getting in the shower like I asked. I walk down the hallway and sure enough, my son was in the shower. My dog was outside, my other 2 kids were in bed or on the couch. There was no explaination for the shadow.
Then cut to this morning I walk out of my room to get breakfast ready, I walk back in and my Wii is on. I think nothing of it and turn it off. Walk back into the kitchen, start packing lunches and then go back into my room (roughly 5 min later) and the Wii has been turned on again. 2 of my kids were sleeping and the only other person who was awake was not in my room. I'm sure it could have been a glitch in power that turned it on but given the events of last night I was/am shaken.
I don't even know what to think. Is this paranormal? A ghost? I just don't know.
I'm a big believer in ghosts, but I don't like the thought of one possibly being in my house.
I've had people tell me to check the land documents for our area to see what was there before the houses were built and I've even had people go so far as to tell me a ghost is trying to attach itself to my son or someone in the house.
I just don't know what to think.
Any insight from those in the field or with experience?
I also wanted to add, for the past 6 months I have had a weird habit of looking at the clock at exactly 10:26 (either am or pm, sometimes both) every day. It never fails, it always happens at least once.
My birthday is Oct 26th, which is why it is so weird. I know it could just be a cool coinsidence. But given all the weird stuff that has been going on its beginging to weird me out.

Question #14:

Do you think there are some things that are so unforgivable that people may want to take revenge?

I'm mostly asking this because I know that the events of 9/11 was so terrible that it is unforgivable. But seriously, is it really necessary to take revenge against the Muslim community as a whole by calling for something like burning the Quran and not allowing them to practice their religion? Not all Muslims agree with the goals of Al-Qaeda.

I know there are many things in history that are very unforgivable that echos of sorrow still echos today (from Pearl Harbor to the Nanking Massacre). I understand that people will never forgive such attrocities and those mental scars will never heal (I would personally will never forgive the killer and the killer's family if he or she killed someone I really loved and cared about). But do you think revenge because of a horrendous crime against someone who cared about (or some invasion, massacre, terrorist attack) can ever be justified? Even taking extremes for calling for genocide against a particular race or religion who were responsible for the act (I'm guessing this is what the Chinese government is thinking in regards to Nanking Massacre since the Chinese never forgave the Japanese for that and probably some Americans who lived through World War II may think of something like that against the Japanese as well)?

BTW, this question is not really relating to the controversial mosque near Ground Zero. Although, I personally think that building a mosque/Islamic community center near Ground Zero is very insensitive , because those who were responsible for the attacks were Muslims (and there is a good reason that you don't see a sushi restaurant, Shinto shrine, or an anime/manga store near the Pearl Harbor memorial or the Nanking Massacre Memorial). I think that building a mosque near Ground Zero would make a lot of Americans so pissed that some would want call for a nuclear strike on Mecca and Medina (of course, destroying the holiest cities of Islam is also very unforgivable to Muslims).
By the way, I almost forgot. Relating the killer/killer's family situation. I would most likely flip a middle finger in front of the killer/killer's family and say "Fuck you for all eternity, I hope you burn in hell for this murder." Then I'm forever condemned to hate the killer and his and her family.

Question #15:

Could you help me with my website please?

Hello!
I have a problem with my website www.castellanagrottelife.it It’s a cultural nonprofit project created with the aim to improve our little community and city, and also to restore somehow a contact with migrants from Castellana Grotte.
But we have a problem with google..it seems that at times people can’t see the website or enter in it, as if it doesn’t exist. Could you please check whether it works or not and tell me? Someone told me that if many people click on the site, there will be more possibilities for it to be seen immediately. I have checked and there aren’t other sites with the same name, so I don’t think this is spamming nor any danger for other sites. I will return the favor when you’ll need help. Thank you and sorry for my English…I’m out of practice.

Question #16:

Is my ex being too harsh/abusive to our son?

I have a 10 year old son. He is a stocky kid, but not fat. He is about 100lbs, but he's short. He gained about 25lbs since last year this time. He plays football with his dad as the coach. My son has been trying to get down to 95lbs in order to play on my ex's team. If he doesn't drop the weight by Saturday he'll have to play for another team. My ex has had my son on a low carb diet for the past month & making him run a mile a day in the morning...and 2 hours of football practice 5 days a week in the evening.

School started this week and he has him waking up at 6AM before school to run a mile, then practice 3 days a week...and on the nights that there is no practice he has him run another mile in the evening.

I think this is unhealthy and he is too young to be doing this.

My ex says that what our son is doing is voluntary, because he doesn't have to play on his team. He can "move up" and play in another division, but our son wants to play for him...and if that's what "our son wants" this is what he has to do. He says that our son wakes up on his own at 6AM to go running, but at my house he sits in the house all day and watches tv. He also blames me for not taking our son to run when he was with me over the past week, and not adhering to his diet...and blames me that he gained a pound over the past week. He says that our son was

My ex lives next door to his dad & his dad is the one taking him too and from the park, school, & practices because my ex works. When I talk to my ex's dad he agrees with my ex and feels that what our son is doing isn't harmful. I feel like it's two against one.

We don't have a custody agreement...I'm wondering if I should just keep my son with me and not let him play football to put a stop to this.

Question #17:

Terry Jones will also be burning the Talmud on Saturday. Surely the powerful Jewish lobby will stop him now?

"I was not surprised, therefore, when I heard Jones recently agree, when asked to do so in an internet podcast interview, to burn "a couple of copies of the Talmud" too."

"More than any other work of Jewish literature, with the possible exception of the Bible, the Babylonian Talmud has shaped the outlook, ways of thinking, practice and theology of Judaism over the last fifteen hundred years. To the Orthodox Jew it is the authoritative text of Judaism, and its authority can only be denied at the risk of heresy."
