I'm not worried about the professional side of things. We haven't had any trouble separating it from the personal stuff, and in a few years when I'm done with school I'll be moving on to another line of work entirely.

 A few years?! That's a long time to think that this kind of relationship can sustain or if not sustain, be amicable after it's over. Good luck is all I can write, you'll need it.

 The only difference, in my opinion, is that one is still socially acceptable and one is not.

Just my two cents.

 No, the only difference is that cigarette smoke affects everyone around the smoker. Besides drunk drivers, you can't get killed by 2nd hand alcohol.

I do want to note that many of my friends are smokers and that's fine, but not everyone wants to breathe that in, so I know where the OP is coming from, I still find it funny when you see Doctors smoking (funny sad.)

so I know this thread has been asleep and burried for a while, but TOO BAD:

to #17, yeah we called it the beast too, but it's dirt cheap. Hence the "good" quotes, ha ha. Like the silver bullet (Coors) not the tastiest, but always on sale!

Oh. I usually just assume there's more members.

 no worries. I hope that didn't come off as rude in any way, I just love music!

Anything by Iron and Wine or City and Colour

I like a few songs by Iron and Wine but I haven't been able to get into them like some of my friend have.

 Iron and Wine is one guy, like Badly Drawn Boy and Bright Eyes... I love Badly Drawn Boy and what I know of Iron and Wine ("Naked as we came", sigh, great song)

Best song ever? Too hard,  but...I do love me some "How Deep is Your Love" by The Bee Gees and Journey's "Faithfully."

 EDITED: Bright Eyes may not be just a solo act?

Kevin Barnes is amazing. The first time I saw them, he walked out on stage in a gold metallic shirt, red mini skirt, fishnets and red boots. haha
I actually think The Sunlandic Twins is own of their worst. I still enjoy it but it's their album I listen to most. Satanic Panic in the Attic is actually my favorite because it was what got me into them but they have like 12 albums so it gets a bit tough to pick just one. :)

I'm glad someone else on here loves them. haha

 Yeah, I blindly saw them at bumbershoot about 3 years ago and immediately fell in love with them. I appreciate most any musician/band that can sound that good live. My biggest pet peeve is a disappointing live performance.

If you are a teen, you may not be ready to have sex.

I waited until I was 20 (happily). It's a weird rule to stand by, but I think it's good to wait until high school is over.

Now, you may be out of high school and still a teen, but using a phrase  like "don't feel normal" is a good indication that you may want to wait longer if it's a mental thing. 

If it's a physically painful, it may take the first couple (or in my case handful) of times to get comfortable enough to start enjoying it.

What's your background? Are you in a monogamous relationship? For how long? How old are you? How long have you been sexually active?

The simplest advice I can give is stop having sex if you'd rather cuddle/kiss.

Artist/Group: Of Montreal

What you like: They put on the most amazing live show. I've seen them three times so far and it's always great. For me, the music is something I never tire of hearing. They've remained my favorite band for three years... hard to do for me.

 Ali, I also saw them live, best energy at a show ever! Plus, guys in dresses, always a good time! (I prefer thier album The Sundlandic Twins, though, new one is good too.)

In high school, I had many awkward moments, here are two for you to enjoy:

1. I was shopping at a grocery store with a group of gal friends. We were shopping for ice cream to pig out on and I decided it would be cool to eat the ice cream with baby spoons, like tiny plastic ones for, well, babies. So I go galavanting off in search of spoons, when my friends called to me that we didn't need them. I turned my head to shout "ok" but continued to walk forward and I knocked over a GIANT display of speed stick. It came crashing down and everyone is the store looked at me or came running to see what the fuss was. grrr.  My friends thought this was hilarious and for many a birthday after, I'd always received a gift wrapped speed stick to commemorate the memory.

2. Some friends and I were driving somewhere and I had horrible (still do) allergies, so my nose was constantly running. I begged everyone else in the car for a tissue, but no one had any. The only thing I had on me was a pad, so naturally I ripped it open and blew. Everyone thought I was so gross for it, but it was clean and sanitary and better than any shirt sleeve! But I am still ridiculed today for it.

I always remember my dreams, every morning, in vivid detail. My goal, someday, is to go to a sleep clinic and be studied. I think they are hilarious and entertaining, even the scary ones (less hilarious, but definitely entertaining!)

I even remember what I believe was my first nightmare ever:

I was no more than 5 years old, probably younger because ghostbusters (I) had come out on vhs and my parents must have rented it....anyway, in my dream I was walking down my scary wooden basement stairs. Like many kids, I was petrified of my basement, it was unfinished with a red concrete floor, steel grey cinder block walls, cobwebs, dark corners, etc... As I reached the bottom step, I see none other than Slimer, from the ghostbusters, flying high up, around and around the basement ceiling. I started to shriek and he, of course, attacked me- but instead of getting "slimed," I became him. Well, my head was on his body and I was the one spinning/flying around and around the ceiling, unable to stop...and then I woke up.

That dream pretty much sums up most of the crazy in my head at all times, ha ha.

Walk the Line

"Hey Mikey, you gotta go to the bathroom?"

hmm, looking at some of the requirements, those might be a little difficult to get too.

You can always try sallie mae, www.salliemae.com or if you or your family members have a good relationship with their bank of credit union, you might be able to research their loan programs.

for someone who thinks nobody is listening to her, you sure don't listen to anyone else, thebled.

Who said any of this was easy? Which post, where? And inhumane? where is that inference?

I think the majority of the posters agree that it's tough situation for both sides.

And your reactions to most of the differing of opinions in this post is why many of the problem exist in that region. You're fueled by emotion and not common sense. You're almost too proud to take a second and empathize, your ego is bruised and you're in battle mode. Yes, your people are sufferring, you have every right to be sore and angry, like Palestine. But until the welfare of the people is put above ego and above the past, nothing can change.  And there are many groups/people trying to bridge this gap and live side by side, it can be done.

But hey, both nations could continue to blast each other to bits, make it completely uninhabitable, since it's "impossible" to co-exist in the same land.

at #84, hmmm, that's true. gross. Besides all of the ones advertised are pretty bulky...

Oh, I have a great idea, I'll invent a collapsible, 100% recycle-able, disposable funnel thingy!!

Just pee and toss, less work (not as noisy) as those awful paper seat protectors and guaranteed to be hygienically efficient!
