Somebody, Anybody, Please ='(?
I was with my boyfriend sense 11/1/08 its been 2 years and 10 days. Im a young adult I have my life very planned out. we broke up because we had very different views of things, probably because he's 19 and im 17 so our minds are at a little bit different stages I understand that. I feel like were suppose to be together. We were always faithful, we had alot of respect for one another, he wasn't a nasty guy only wanting sex, he was a very non sexual guy and that's very rare and we trusted each other 100%. we had everything going but we broke up last night because we just weren't happy and he felt we were to different to ever agree we were raised different he was raised by a strict family with alot of money and I was raised by my single mom moving from appt. to appt. his grandma is royalty from norway. So you see the differences. I never had the opportunity to go out and ski or snowboard or go wake boarding like meeting him opened up a new way of life and more experiences for me. and i feel like everything just got taken from me we still love eachther. the only thing that prevented us from being together is that we would argue about things like little things that we just veiwed differently, like our careers i want to model and i know i would get far, he wants to be an airplane machenic, I rely on my looks he works very hard for his money, like were just different. We were highschool sweethearts and i know there was a study about how highschool sweethearts end up married if they run into eachother later in their 20's. do you think that can be us? I just basically want to know if i should hold on like keep my feelings for the future we left on pretty good terms and were going out to dinner tonight i just dont know my limits. can we still kiss? do I still say I love you? although he did make it clear no sexual activity at this time because it might be to hard on us. but how do I act I've never had a guy friend. I'm the girl all the guys want a peice of and he was one to respect me and not act like that. but i just dont know how to act like a "friend" after 2 years of such strong and pure love.

It's gonna be okay. This must be hard on you both. People change as they grow older, and they can grow together or apart. Anyways, you've been with him for over 2 years, so you must be pretty comfortable with him. Tonight at dinner you should talk to him. Don't try to act different, I act pretty much the same around my girl and guy friends. Talk to him about what you two can and can't do now. You don't want to confuse yourselves by being too physical with him. Only you guys can figure out if its okay for you guys to kiss, say I love you, etc., or if you'll just end up confused. Don't fight with him, be mature and understanding. Just figure out with him what's right and what's not for you guys, and do it calmly. Also, talk about if you would want to get back together at some point later on or not. Things change, so don't hold it against each other if something changes, but just get it all out there in the open about what is going on in both of your minds right now. Are you guys really broken up? Does he want a break or a real-deal breakup? What do you want? Is it okay to do things with other guys? Will you be upset if he's with another girl? You guys need to talk about these things. What is best for the both of you? Make sure you don't leave confused, get it all out there so you both understand. And stay calm, mature, and understanding. Try your best not to argue or get mad. I would atleast stay friends with him. You guys invested a lot of time into your relationship, and he is probably one of the closest people to you. Maybe you guys could still hangout and have fun together. Definitely stay in contact. But also focus on other people. You're young. Do you want to just have this guy on your mind? Do you want to see what it's like with other guys? You need to think about all of these things. I would suggest hanging out with your girlfriends a lot and making some friends too that are just guys. Not romantic, keep it strictly on a friend level. Guy friends are great! Focus on school, modeling, family, religion, whatever makes you happy. But yeah, definitely stay in contact and stay friends with this guy. It's definitely possible that you guys could get back together later on in your 20's, especially if you stay in touch. Trust God and Christ that if it's meant to be, it'll find a way to work. If not, something better is in store for you. So don't count on getting back, but remember that anything is possible. To sum it all up, talk to him and get it all out there. And it's possible for you two to be together, but don't count on it. Explore your other options as well. But definitely stay friends with him. But focus on other people and parts of your life too, don't invest all of your time in him. It'll be hard at first because you're probably used to constantly being around him, but you'll get used to it. Good luck!

Who is to blame for the financial crisis in the US (pls see details)?
Who is to blame for the financial crisis in the US (pls see details)?
As we have been told time and time again, statistics (supposedly) show that women are the ones who make purchasing decisions in the US whether they work for wages or not. I have seen numbers as high as 80% when it comes to decision making, decisions such as new home, new floors, new appliances, new countertops etc. Having worked in construction/design, I can tell you there is some truth to this. Men don't care what they put on the floor or the counter tops except in very rare instances. In addition, there are plenty of women who have spending issues - Prada purses, Gucci watches, Coach wallets and other useless crap. We've seen many of them on TV seeking help for spending addictions, but not so many guys. According to common belief here in GWS, feminists don't participate in this sort of spending since they are "butch." So. IF I were a feminist and this was true, then, I wouldn't even waste money on razors since I don't shave. Right? An exaggeration, but I think you see what I mean. Now I'm not trying to start a fight between all of you, and I chose to remain neutral like Norway when it comes to feminism and masculism, but, you have to admit, certain women are starting to look bad in this economy if the stats are correct. So I ask you - who, in your opinion, is responsible for this spending that doomed the entire country? Men or women? And can we come up with a profile for these individuals? Thanks Gaspari, take a number. Tracey (clone?) has already approached me about 5 min ago. ;-)

I'd like to start by saying I agree with R. Gaspari (except for his last sentence, thank you). As far as to the people who are doing the spending, that actually helps the economy - not hurts it. That is, if they only spend what they have the money for; not tacking everything on their card. I do spend more frivolously than my husband does (ie. candles, gifts for people for no particular reason). I have already cut back on doing that. Funny you should mention construction, specifically counter tops. We are in the middle of a kitchen rehab. My husband wants our top to be granite - I said that it was way too much and would be happy with laminate. We're still haggling. ;) I don't see the small purchases in life to be the blame for the economy. It's more the fault of people who purchased a house with 0 money down and interest deferred for a period of time. I know someone personally who did that and have lost the house in less than two years after signing. Very foolish. And banks never, ever should have allowed that to happen.

Three things are to blame: 1. Greed 2. Stupidity 3. Lack of education From both men AND women. Can't blame a gender on this one.
7 :
Unregulated markets, trading and lending pure and simple. When these are allowed every person's greedy whim is indulged. This time it's hard to blame it on simple market fluctuations. There's no point blaming it on poor people for trying to lend and spend out of their range, the markets have been offering this for 15+ years as a way of making 'markets enrich everyone'. Now it has proven itself as a failure. House ownership is too idolized and sought after, yet impossible for some. If the citizens of the world are happy to sit back and pay for this mess to be temporarily fixed then more fool them. It will take 5+ years for the economies to pick up and then governments will sell back the companies they bought to private investors at a loss. As they generally do. I've seen it before. And then we are back to the same old business. Give it half a decade and another crisis will ensue. The economic system is rotten and trying to rescue rotten things is a failure.

It isn't retail spending that caused the financial crisis. It's overspending on mortgages people couldn't afford.

Once again I agree with Gaspare..I have to watch, this could become some weird habit... Both sexes are to blame for the current economic state.

Both sexes were stupid enough to buy homes that they couldn't possibly afford. Get a grip, start watching CNN or Fox for explanations rather than trolling on Yahoo Answers.

As a Christian Man, I would say we have replaced God in exchange for Idols (Houses, Cars, Cloths). We have increased our possessions, while reducing our value.

Loosing belly fat over the summer?
Loosing belly fat over the summer?
Hey everyone! I'm 13, weigh 60 kg and I'm 1.60 cm. Over the summer I want to loose my belly fat. I don't have a lot, but just a little bit. I think I'm 30 inches around my waist or so.. I'm not sure, maybe less. But I was just wondering - how can I loose it? My plans were to eat less and exercise. Jogging and eating healthy. Problem is, I am only thirteen - so my parents make my dinner and breakfast - of course I can choose to eat something else, but it's hard to buy your own dinner and all that with only a little money. I come from an asian family (haha!) so we always have rice for dinner and I heard that rice have a lot of carbs? What do I do about that? Can I eat very little rice? And then it's the exersizing. What can I do about that? I was thinking about jogging, but that alone can't do much. I can swim, but not everyday - I think they take money for getting into the pool, and everyday is such a pain! And the nearest beach we have to drive to (My family doesn't have a car, and we live in Norway... the water is not the hottest). So ... can you please give me some tips? This means so much to me, as I want to look pretty and FEEL pretty and good about my body. :) Thank you, so much if you answer. I'll be grateful!

Eat healthy: eat 3 whole meals a day. For your meals, you want something healthy and that fills you up so that you don't get hungry again for a long time. You need to also make healthy choices like eating whole wheat bread or whole grain bread instead of white bread and brown rice instead of white rice. Cut all junk food. They are bad for you and cause weight gain fast. Cut fast food as well! If you get hungry in between your 3 meals, eat a piece of fruit/vegetable, low-fat yogurt, skim milk, or fruit juice. THey are all good and healthy and will burn fat. As well as eating healthy, combine with exercise and you will lose the weight healthfully and easily. Diets don't work in the long run. When you consume too little, or deprive yourself of certain foods, you are also not getting the essential nutrients. That's why everyone gain the weight back and more in diets. Diet's are a plan for fail. INstead, just focus on eating healthy. You will feel better, look better, and perform better. Opt for a healthy lifestyle, not a fad diet. that's how you lose weight and keep it off for good. For the exercise, don't overdo yourself. Just walking, jogging for 1 hour each day will be more than enough. Rememeber to rest for 1 day of the week. Also, if 1 hour is too long for you, you can BREAK IT DOWN thorughout the day. Nobody said you have to get it all done in one shot, just do some after you wake up, some in the afternoon myabe, and sometime before or after dinner. It's more managaeable that way. Walking, jogging, running or swimming are aerobic/cardio exercises and they burn the most calories and fat. They will make you strengthen or build your muscle and keep you burning more calories and fat. eat healthy and exercise is the golden rule of losing weight. Good luck hun :)

changing your diet to only healthy foods is the best thing you can do and will ensure you will lose weight if combine with walking everyday especially. you can eat how much you like if you stay within these 3 guidelines and still lose fat naturally and gradually. You should lose 10lbs each month on average. 1.eat only steamed lean meats, eggs, healthy fruits ,vegetables, nuts, grains (Asian basmati or jasmine rice gives lots of energy and can be found at your local oriental/asian market or some super markets), & yogurt..2. drink only water, juice, & milk..3. walk or do some physical exercise 1-3 hour every day. (btw, recommend you also to buy an electronic food steamer ((Very cheap)) and a rice cooker as makes it very easy to prepare healthy meals ,,add a bit of olive oil and pepper, spices on top of steamed vegeatables, fish or chicken to add more taste if wish as these are healthy too.)

Why is there concrete on the ground?
Why is there concrete on the ground?
Hi, I have been traveling trough many cities before, but when I went to places like Thailand & Norway I saw huge areas of land that had no buildings or parking lots, no concrete at all (not even wooden boards, gravel or nothing!) I am not sure what an area like this is called, so I will name it gigantic-park and it had some beautiful things to look at. Why can we not have more gigantic-parks around? I am sure that we can make a effective public transport system with modern technology that goes together with nature. They could make it free and people would not need their cars. Humans could live in gigantic-parks and work with nature, not for power, money and personal gain.
