| The Lounge | What are your views on this...(really need your opinion) | Jul 25 2008 02:58 (UTC) |

| I think that the only way you're being fair in your friendship with her is to be honest with her. Tell her that it makes you uncomfortable even though you want her to be happy. And if you're still close with the guy, tell him that you're uncomfortable, too. Doing that can be difficult, especially depending upon your ages, but you have to be true to yourself and I think that means also being honest in dealings with the people you choose to be close with. | |||
| The Lounge | Should girls take the initiative in dating? | Feb 17 2008 01:27 (UTC) |

| I realized the other day that I've never been asked out on a first date. I have always been the initiator. While I'd like to be asked out sometimes, it's nice to have the power of doing it yourself and knowing that you didn't miss out on something because you thought he would say something. Go for it! | |||

| Because if she's so spiritual, why is she doing drugs and drinking excessively the rest of the time? As if a biannual fast would make it all okay. | |||

| I can't help but point out the hilarity stemming from the fact that you're going to fast, not only from food, but from drugs/alcohol for "spiritual reasons." Ah, yes, very spiritual.
The irony was just too much to ignore. |

| Health & Support | Sick : eat MORE or LESS ? | Feb 04 2008 03:24 (UTC) |

| I'm sick right now actually. I don't worry about counting calories when I'm sick. I eat however much of whatever appeals to me. Your body is working harder than usual to recover, so I think it's fine to listen to what your body wants for a few days until you get better. | |||
| Young Calorie Counters | How old were you when you had your first kiss? | Jan 22 2008 01:35 (UTC) |

| I was 16 (20 now), and I was eager to finally kiss someone too. Kissing, like most things, is fun, but not the beginning or end of the world. Promise. | |||

| Check your facts, sara, before you post false information about candidates. Some people don't actually know that what you're saying is false and misrepresentative. | |||

| Also classically trained, with a few years of study in jazz. Def recommend (re)developing a classical foundation because it will allow you freer range when you become skilled enough to try other genres, i.e. jazz. Good luck! | |||

| Leeser- I'd be interested in what edition you're referencing because when translated directly from Hebrew and Greek (the original languages of the first and second testaments, respectively), there is no "hell." It may be that editions you are familiar with have included it in order to convey certain messages that they deemed important.
Oh, and just to clarify, I wasn't trying to say that Sheol is there in place of hell, but that it was a different concept altogether. |

| Didn't have time to read all the posts so I don't know if it's been addressed, but I'd just like to point out that there is no "hell" in the Bible. Sheol is the closest thing, but does not involve eternal damnation. Our concept of hell actually did not arise until Dante's Inferno.
The more you know... |

| Young Calorie Counters | i was wondering if i could bust in here for help with my 15 year old daughter? | Jan 14 2008 02:21 (UTC) |

| Hi, I'm 20 years old, and my opinion is that yes, you can let the younger girl come back home. That being said, I would insist on her only activities being school, homework, and family time, no contact with the boyfriend, and absolutely no staying anywhere but home overnight. No exceptions whatsoever. (That will be easier if your home has some sort of security system that would make noise if she turned off to sneak out etc.) She has to understand that there are consequences for her actions. You are not there to be her friend. Good luck, it's obvious you want what's best for your girls. | |||
| Vegetarian | Fish Eating "Vegetarians" | Jan 13 2008 02:15 (UTC) |

| Technically I'm a pescatarian, but if it comes up, I say I'm a vegetarian simply because most people don't know meaning of the word pescatarian, and I don't like to get deep into my eating habits with most acquaintances. It's just a term I use out of convenience, not because I'm trying to lie about what I do and don't eat. | |||
| The Lounge | Anyone know where I can find a Belly dancing class | Jan 12 2008 18:17 (UTC) |
|
| Don't know about where you are, but if anyone in Orlando, FL is looking for belly dancing classes, I have 3 class passes for Orlando Bellydance that I can't use because I moved away. I'll give them away free to anyone who can use them (they don't expire). | |||
| The Lounge | Has anyone had success with CashCrate? | Jan 09 2008 20:26 (UTC) |

| I used to have a Cash Crate account, and I created a separate email address to use and used a fake address for all of the offers I filled out. I actually did receive one check, but when I told my family about it, they thought it wasn't a good idea because the information I was giving was false, and it could be considered fraud. Aside from that, yes, it does seem to be real, as I deposited the check I got and had no problems doing so. | |||

| This is exactly why I love Jewish people. Jewish people are never going around worrying about trying to save my soul from anything. They couldn't care less, and frankly, don't really want you to convert. That's how it should be. | |||

| The Lounge | cheating boyfriend | Dec 03 2007 02:22 (UTC) |

| If she doesn't believe that she's worth more than that, neither will anyone else. Also, it's obvious that there was a good chance he wasn't going to tell her at all. It's not like he came to her immediately and told her. He waited three months and (I'm assuming) continued to have a physical relationship with her which means he was putting her at risk for STD's whether he thought he had gotten anything from the hookups or not. |

| The Lounge | Revenge on inconsiderate neighbors. | Nov 29 2007 06:59 (UTC) |

| Ha, I couldn't think of a better term for it than "violence." I get what your saying, but I intend to be an advocate for children, so I can't support it. Not saying it wasn't well deserved or that it even hurt him. | |||

| I can't support violence against kids, but I am extremely curious as to what happened after you kicked him. | |||

| Trainwreck: I tend to be pretty easygoing, and if I think there's a possibility someone is joking about something, that's usually the assumption I make. But in this case I feel certain he wasn't doing it to flirt. And yeah, I can understand how he might think I was socially awkward, but when I talked to a couple closer friends about it, they chalked it up to my dry sense of humor not going over with him.
Bluestreak: I agree with what you said about it not being his place. I guess my main complaint isn't that he thinks I'm socially awkward, but that he actually said it to me. And thank you for saying I seem nice, and you're right, we pianists tend to be :) Sun123: It's funny you should say that, because there have been times I've thought he was being socially awkward, the difference being that I would never say that to a casual friend lol |

| I guess I don't really think I'm socially awkward. Which perhaps is the bigger problem :p
I don't have a million friends, but I have close ones, and they seem to like me alright. And smwhipple, you're right about getting rid of him for different reasons. I had already told myself I didn't want to be physical with him anymore because that isn't who I want to be, but I was actually just trying to talk to him as a friend. But maybe he's not looking for friendship. cellulitedelight, I generally don't like violence, but the shin kicking does seem like the best route to take at this point |

| Ha, well I used the word "friend" in a loose sense. As in we've hooked up, but other than that we don't hang out or anything. He def wasn't trying to be a good friend by saying that.
I have to say the whole thing was a lot funnier when I thought of it this morning. But thanks everyone for being sympathetic. I appreciate it. |

| I mean, I may be weird, but I'm pretty sure it's socially awkward to unexpectedly say that to someone. | |||
