Open Question: Lg neon time and date reseted?

I had my lg neon for about a year, and then about 3 weeks ago I got grounded from it so I had to keep it in my mom's room for a while. So I take out the battery pack and keep it just to make sure my mom doesnt go snooping around my phone when I'm not looking. But when I got it back about a week ago I turn my phone back on and I noticed that the time and date shown on my phone has reseted to Janurary 1st at 12 am. Everything is still here, my music, photos, contacts, etc. But it's kinda bugging me whenever I check my phone for the time but it's way off. Is there a reason why my phone got reseted? And is there a way to fix it? more

Open Question: Do you think I can go Pro?

I am getting ready to turn 23 and I want to know if you think I can go Pro in Golf by the time I am 25? Say I shoot an average round of 77... on a course where the conditions are not that great (some putts should go in but the greens are bumpy and not always true.) I can drive the ball around 310 (again with better fairways I would get more roll) My iron game probably is what needs the most work but when I was playing every day I was a lot better... closer to par (a few under, a few over) Do you think that there is anyway that I could improve my game to get on the NationWide or even PGA Tour within the next 2 years? How about before I am 30? Bubba Watson is 31 right? when did he start? I really love the game so I would like to know. Don't be shy with the answers I am good with constructive criticism. more

Open Question: Am I transgender, or do I just have crazy anxiety?

I'm a gay man. I've known I was gay since I was around 14 years old, and I've identified as a gay man since. I'm pretty comfortable with my identity, and enjoy being gay and living the life that I lead. However, when I was a kid, I frequently used to think things like, "I wish I had been born a girl." I don't recall ever thinking things like, "I AM a girl." My suspicion is that I wanted to be a girl when I was a kid because I had a lot of feminine interests as a kid (knitting/crochet, hated sports, played with Barbies with my sister, whatever). I'm wondering if these thoughts were expressions of my "true" identity, or if they were products of having my interests rejected by others. I haven't really had thoughts like that since I was in elementary school, and I've always been pretty happy with who I am. Then, I watched RuPaul's Drag Race, and Sonique came out as being transgender. For some reason, that stuck in my head, and now I've had to deal with anxiety about being transgender since watching that episode. I'm a makeup artist as my profession, working for a beauty store called Ulta. I wear makeup, I style my hair feminine sometimes. Outside of work, I don't necessarily wear makeup. Usually, I'll wear it if I go out. I don't dress like a woman, nor do I really desire to do so. But I kind of find myself curious about what it'd be like to be a woman. Is it innocent curiosity, or delving into something deeper? This issue has been plaguing me for months, and I'm tired of feeling anxious. Yet whenever I think of being transgender, everything in me says, "NO! Resist it! Fight it! You're not transgender!" Am I anxious, or in a gender crisis? Am I fighting my "true self," or fighting my own mind? I've also experimented viewing different forms of pornography to see which elicits a response from me, and heterosexual (and even transgender) porn does nothing for me, while gay porn turns me on. Please help me figure out if I just make things up to worry about (which wouldn't be the first time), or if I'm really a woman and just refuse to accept it. more

Open Question: depressed suicidal need help asap?

I left my bf's house around 12 o clock. i did it bc he was cleaning the bathroom and i felt like he wasn't paying me enough attention. Well than I call him and accuse him of cheating bc i'm petrified he will cheat on me... i keep calling from 12 until 2:30 and then he turns his phone off, so i continue to call, this is weird to me bc his phone was off from 3-3:30 am and i'm wondering why he is ignoring me. He says he was sleeping, but if he was sleeping why would he turn his phone back on randomly??? What is wrong with me? Is he cheating on me? I road by at 2:30 am and his truck was there, it makes no sense why he would just turn his phone back on at that random time. Am i going crazy? What the hell? I feel suicidal and concerned of the unknown. What is happening? Am i just losing it? I called probably around 40 times since i left and can't stop more

Open Question: Why do girls behave this way in my presence?

Lately I've noticed that girls have been acting strange around me and I'm not sure why. I never get this kind of response from men so someone please hear me out. First off I'll explain some events which occurred today. On the train to university today, I was sitting next to this girl, and I was doing some university work, Illustrated in the following figure. http://yfrog.com/jwtrain1p When the train stopped at one of the stations before my destination, the girl stood up and I assumed she would be getting off here, so I moved out of the way and let her go. However she didn't alight from the train but instead moved to a seat away from me, next to someone else, as shown in figure 2. http://yfrog.com/9gtrain2p I didn't think much of it at the time and just completed my university work. After-wards I was looking out the window and the train entered a tunnel, at which point in time I saw that same girl in the reflection in the window, looking at me. I looked back at her and she looked away. This continued for the rest of the journey and made me feel quite uncomfortable. That wasn't the only time something like this has happened. Earlier, at a bus hub I was waiting for my bus so I could go home. Figure 3 (yes, it's necessary) http://yfrog.com/0ostationgp In my peripheral vision I saw another girl sitting on a bench, her body facing away from me but her head turned towards me. As I mentioned before with the other girl, I'd look at her and she'd look away. Then I'd look away again and in my peripheral vision I'd notice them looking back and we'd just look at each other making brief eye contact for no more than a few seconds. This all happened with blank facial expressions so I couldn't determine what was on their minds. These two events were ones which I felt were most relevant to this question. So I'd like to know, why does this happen? The incidence of this type of thing has increased lately. To clarify, these girls are most often around my age, give or take a couple of years (I'm 18). The reason why the girl in the train example moved away was definitely not due to BO, since I put maintaining hygiene as a high priority. Although today I guess my face had a bit of stubble since I didn't have time to shave lately with all this university work. I'm just going to append this one other event but it's probably irrelevant. This following figure (the last one I promise) will help describe what happened. http://yfrog.com/6lbusexamplep I entered the bus and sat on this seat behind this one woman who was probably in her 40s. All of a sudden she yells at me "CAN YOU NOT SIT SO CLOSE?!", so I did so and moved away. When leaving the bus I made sure not to look at her and I haven't had any conflicts with this woman since. This is probably a unique example though since I've seen this same woman yelling at other men at the bus hub for silly reasons, and I quote "YOU HAVE A REAL STARING PROBLEM DO YOU KNOW THAT?!". I guess that quote is relevant to my first two examples though. So if anyone can answer this for me, I'd appreciate it. TL;DR: Girls have been staring at me strangely lately. Could someone please tell me why?@Sugar: How could someone be interesting to look at? more

Open Question: Will a doctor/fertility specialist prescribe clomid if your BMI is greater than 30?

Ive already posted a question with the details of my problem but for background purposes ill give the details again.......... Im 22 years old and I haven't had a period for 3 months now, Before then they were always regular, same time every month etc, its really getting me down as my partner and I were hoping to try for a baby. To start with I took around 5 pregnancy tests but all came back negative, I then had a pregnancy blood test done which also came back negative, Ive had various other blood tests done now, progesterone, thyroid, liver function, diabetes, different hormone tests and they have all come back normal, except one which gave a slightly higher reading for testosterone level, this made my doctor think that my problem was PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) however after having a scan around 4 weeks ago now this was ruled out, they did however say that I had one 3cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary and that they couldn't get a clear picture of my right side however all looked normal. At first I though this was the cause however the doctor told me that even if the cyst was causing there to be enough pressure on my left ovary to stop my period the right side should have kicked in as they take it in turns every month. So again I have no answers as to whats happening with my body, I am overweight, I weigh around 16 stone, therefore I thought this could also be the reason but the doctor has told me that im not in this category yet as im not morbidly obese and that the fact I have always been big and my period has always been normal suggests otherwise aswell and I am not under any serious stress. Im due to go for another scan in 2 weeks time to check if the Cyst on my left ovary has shrunk or gone completely and they will hopefully be able to get a clearer picture of my right ovary this time, when I go back to the doctors I am going to ask him to refer me if ive still not got any answers i want but Im not sure whether clomid would be an option for me at the moment as my BMI is higher than 30 more

Open Question: Should I move schools?

Okay please read its a lot to explain! Well, at my school at the moment I have 'friends' (if you should even call them that) they backstab me alot. I mean expect it from two of them but my so called bestfriend I wouldn't but she does, she just wants everyone to like her even if that means making me feel like crap in the process. If someone bags me she doesn't stick up for me she just goes along with it, and she sucks to the other two because they are seen as popular or shes scared of them I am not sure. I use to get along with them great, I would hardly be home at all on the weekend even on school nights I was always doing things NOW I do nothing but sit at home big turn around hey? So anyway when one of the friends who everyone sucks does somehting mean or bullys someone else I get the blame! So all the boys give me crap just cause they are in a fight with that friend, they give me more crap than the friend themselves. Pretty much all the boys hate me, one because I went out with one and dumped him so he just holds a grudge so his friends copy him and treat me like crap pretty stupid hey? Than theres a guy that just in general likes to ruin my day constantly saying stuff. Than today I get bombarded by five people yelling at me :S Is this worth staying at this school? I mean I am doing fine academically even though I am starting to find it hard to concentrate. The other school is known for great academics and students get great results! But I know absolutley no one there... and what happens if I don't make friends? At the moment I am pretty much crying all the time, in the last 4 months I have pretty much cried every night... Do you make friends when you move? Or do some new kids have no friends at all! And I am worried if I move, that even in the future if I don't make friends there I nnever will what do I do? more

Open Question: Christians who's at fault here..God,Satan, parents or the son...?

This teenage(19yrs) boy cared so much about his health and do anything to keep him going, very open,friendly and just fun to be around with and He is a stay home boy. his friends hang around a lot with him at his home and got no girlfriend.you see this boy have a huge plan and dream in front of him,his expecting to move forth and wait for the right time for him to move those plans of his in actions..... both of his parents are strong saints of their church and prayer warriors too, they claimed that God is always with them and their prayers never go unanswered. but their son, refuse to go with them in their beliefs.He decided to stay away from any religious teachings of any faith when he turn sixteen.and yes he was in college and still staying under his parents roofs too. but the sad thing is that one morning the boy never see the sun again(RIP+)he died in his sleep... and it can't be anything for this boy is well socialize and his relationship w/his parents are cool,like best friends. the parents are strong believers of Christ. and their son is a godless one-he moves forth according to what he feel is best for him. so tell me who is at fault here, why did the boy died..? did God killed him or allow his death to take place just b/c he refuse to be involve in any kind of deity...? a lot of you Christians believe that death is cause by the sins of the individuals parents or generation pass(decease like cancers,aids and any incurable decease) death of a baby or any innocent child.I find it hard to believe this crap.. so who is at fault here God, Satan,parents or the dead person.....????? his parents are full charged believers, why did he close his eyes on them... don't worry his parents are still the same,strong and faithful they've tried dealing with that kinda death once so it didn't make them step out for good..actually they are happy that their sons on his resting place. how sad for the dead person,he buried his dreams with him :( more

Open Question: What do you think of my story?

Plans for my life: get a million dollars, like that’s going to happen. My life started to be a disaster when all the adults and parents died out. It wasn’t very quiet, I mean. Kids were breaking into shop and hurting each other. It was terrible. I have to say, I was one of those people. I had to survive and not lot of kids went to the supermarket. Didn’t they know that game consoles and skimpy dresses are going to help them with the future years too come? I cut and died my hair and drew markings on my face. I grabbed one of my big bags and threw food, my tent and other essentials into it and then I was off. I figured the safest place to be would be the forest; the city would be filled with kids, trying to get their hands onto food. So I set off. It was scary at first, sleeping in a tent at night. The woods rustled and once or twice, I thought I heard voices but I was mistaken, I think I ended up in a casino when I was sick of the forest. I needed a tribe who knew what leadership and respect meant. Not those cannibals that thought of themselves as ‘leaders’ The casino was loud and people stared at me when I came in but soon they got back to their games. People were playing cards, roulette and other games. People had been gambling on cock fights, dog fights and even human fights outside and drunken girls and boys were laughing and singing loudly. I hadn’t been in the city for three months but in that time I stole books and learnt how to hunt and survival. It will be good to get my hands on some water, even if had to trade for it. I sat on the stool near the bar and leaned forward. My brown bangs fell in my eyes, shielding them from the outside but still allowing me to see. “What do ya’ want” the guy at the bar asked me. “Just water” I said still looking down. His eyes stared at me like I was crazy. My black eyes returned his gaze as I raised my head. A minute passed and we stared at each other until I got sick of it and raised my eyebrow “Is there a problem?” I asked. He reached under the counter and brought out a bottle of water. I reached in my bag to bring out something to trade with but the barman held his hand out. “You seem like a good kid, on the house” he pushed the bottle of water towards me and I bowed my head in thanks. I got off the stool and walked towards the door. That guy. Why did he act like an adult? I don’t know. He seemed nice enough. A set of hands wrapped round my waist and swung me around in a circle. A voice behind me laughed. “Cleo, what are you doing in a place like this, I thought you went all tree hugger on me.” I turned my head to face the person who had grabbed me. “Why, hello Arrow. Miss me?” his face spread into a grin and his white teeth gleamed. His red hair hung limply in his eyes, which were still blue. He had grown a lot taller and stronger than I last saw him though “You do remember me!” He swung me around again and then set me on my feet. He turned around to a group of guys who were laughing. “You owe me a drink Ace” a boy with blonde hair was sulking in the corner. He stuck his finger up at Arrow but Arrow just laughed. “That’s Ace, he can be a pain sometimes” I laughed. “Come on and meet them, they are really nice once you get to know them” He grabbed my hand and dragged me to the chairs they were all sitting in. Four guys sat on each chair. Ace was sulking but had moved closer. A guy with blue hair looked me up and down until another boy hit him over the head. more

Open Question: What is she trying to prove?

Me and a girl (european exchange student, if that is even important) work together at our student job on campus, and we HAD been friends for over 2 years. So LONG story short I fell for her but she wasn't interested. After I asked her out the first time and got rejected, about a month later she started being really friendly with me eventually she asked me to help her look for a car. Well a few weeks and a lot of my time later she had a car and I had helped register it smog check the works. Well I stupidly saw all this time she was spending with me as a sign she liked me so i asked her out again, WRONG. A close friend pointed out to me that this was just one time out of MANY where this girl was just using me because she knew I liked her and how when ever I needed something she was always busy. I am more ashamed that I let myself become her personal lap dog and let her walk all over me. I could deal with her not reciprocating my feelings but I was angry that she abused my kindness like that because she knew I liked her. I have learned a lot about her since then that i did not realize before that would probably turn any guy off of her (she is a user, a tease, manipulator, future gold digger,etc..). So now skip forward a couple months and believe me I am no longer her 'go to guy' for everything thing. I don't even speak to her outside of work. she probably still thinks we are BFF's like we used to be but she is strictly a co-worker to me now. we are back in school and all of a sudden she is dressing really 'scandalous', 'revealing', 'trashy', 'slutty', whatever you want to call it. I know she is doing it to attract attention from 'whoever' at school but the way she dresses in completely inappropriate for work. and no matter how much I don't like her now it is hard not to stare when she dresses like that. Why would she even dress this way around me, especially with the awkward past we have? (she can dress however she wants at school but I don't appreciate her being that way around me at work) Besides would you dress that way around a guy who probably still has unresolved/mixed/confusing feelings about you even though you don't like him? P.S. I may not have to worry about it though because I have informed my supervisor about her inappropriate work attire. more

Open Question: Can someone take a look at my Common App essay?

I am planning on only sending this to a New Jersey college or two. Probably TCNJ and Saint Peter's. I don't think my second paragraph is that great though. the topic is: 1)A range of academic interests, personal perspectives, and life experiences adds much to the educational mix. Given your personal background, describe an experience that illustrates what you would bring to the diversity in a college community, or an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you. -- -- Diversity, the very core of the United States of America, is an important aspect of life. Diversity is respecting and understanding that each individual is unique, and that everyone has their own individual differences. Everyone should strive to be a distinct and unique person, not a doppelganger or a copycat. The United States is a country that thrives upon its ever increasing cultural make up. The people have differences in ethnicity, religion, race, socioeconomic classes, gender, sexual orientation, and/or physical ability. Everyone has their own beliefs and traditions. When different cultures clash, rites and traditions of each group are perceived as barbaric and is cause for wars. If we are not aware of these differences, prejudice grows. I feel that by being diverse ourselves, we can get along better with each other. We should all embrace our heritage and not just shrug it off as ancient. By embracing one’s own culture, one becomes understanding of other cultures and as a result, less prejudice, hate, and cultural clashes occur. Diversity is important everywhere, especially in school. It allows students to have a greater respect for those who have different beliefs or points of views than themselves. School is where many children first meet at an age where they don’t really care about their differences. As children grow, they begin to notice and understand different cultures and being friends with different heritages encourages the exchange of ideas, which overall enriches the student body as a whole. Furthermore, this opens minds to new experiences, which greatly helps students with college in the future. The internet, one of the greatest inventions of man, has greatly helped me understand and learn about different people and cultures. Each and every time I turn on my computer and enter the cyber world, I learn more and more about people. Through the internet, I have access to the vast knowledge people around the world and throughout history have gained. I have the opportunity to interact with people around the world with websites such as Yahoo Answers, Facebook, MySpace, and Formspring. Through those websites, I have gained an understanding of how people react when they cannot be judged in person. With the use of the internet, I am able to be myself without judgment and see others for who they really are. Thanks to the internet, I have been able to interact with a more diverse community, with people who have different views and beliefs, and learn about them while sharing my own views. -- -- it's 415 words long. more

Open Question: What can cause a car to not start?

I have a '97 Chevrolet Cavalier. So I clocked out from work today, and happily made my way to my car. Wouldn't you know it, it wouldn't start. It wouldn't turn over or anything. Just dead silence. I got a friend to help me jump the battery, and was able to make it home. I got the battery about 2 years ago. I know they should last longer than 2 years. There was a tiny bit of corrosion around the posts, but I've seen cars with far worse corrosion than mine. Besides the battery, what else could cause a car to not start? more

Open Question: Need help with the laaddiieeeees?

Okay, so lots of my friends are good at hanging out with girls as friends, and are just good with them and funny. But me, I'm used to hanging with the boys and I'm not good with hanging out with girls one on one, and I've never kissed a girl, well actually I've never had a girlfriend. NO, I'm not gay at all!!

Open Question: Frank breech presentation at 30 weeks?

Hi guys! So I had an ultrasound done today at 30 weeks 2 days. The doctor wanted to check my son's growth and how big his head is. Im pretty petite so if it looks like Im going to have a big baby then we might have to start throwing around the "C" word. His weight was perfectly average (as was the size of his head thanks to my genes and no help from his dad lol) but the little turd had turned in to frank breech position! Not only did he have his feet up above his head but he had his hands covering his face. It was the last ultrasound I will probably be getting so I was very disappointed that we didnt get better pictures of his face but it is WAY more important that he is healthy :) I had an ultrasound done at 27 weeks due to decreased fetal movement and he was in vertex presentation and I got really excited that he was already in perfect position. How common is it for little one's to flip flop at this stage? I know that he can but at a certain point he becomes to big, right? When is that point? And, is there anything I can try to do to change his position? Thanks for all the comments in advance. I swear, y'all know more than all my pregnant and mommy friends :) more

Open Question: Someone explain this girl's behavior - I'm so lost?

Ok so there's this girl that is funny and outgoing and loves to make jokes but the majority of her classmates don't like her because she has an attitude 90% of the time She never noticed me and in order to get her attention I tried annoying her; it worked, she started to make funny insults/comments only to me. The entire year was our antagonism against each other and it was fun. Then I made a freshman gf near the end of Junior year. Suddenly, Nicky ignored me, or it seemed like she tried to; some days she would completely disregard me. Then on other days she would go back to her old self. Sometimes I look at her, both when I'm with and without my gf. On both instances, she just stares at me angrily. Then Homecoming came about. During the dance, one of my friends [let's call him Bob] is very emo. He came only out of pity of his gf and sulked the entire dance. Literally, he just sat outside of the dance floor. Nicky sat with him. She looks up. I wink at her. She glares at me. But before either of us say anything Bob says: "How're the freshman?" (he meant my gf but I didn't realize it then.) I look at him but don't respond, and then I turn back to stare at her. Nicky: "I'm gonna ask the same question he just asked." Me: "What was that? I didn't hear it." Bob: "How're the freshman?" Me: "I didn't hear that." Nicky: "Then you're death and go to Hell." I don't remember much of the night after that but basically, it ended with Nicky throwing her shoe at me. It was when she kept ignoring me and when I missed her frank jokes that I realized I liked her. I was single by then so it shouldn't have been a problem right? Wrong. Now situations are like: Day A [her regular self]: I'm talking about who to vote for senior awards. She'll run down the hallway and steal the paper from my hands. I smile and try to take it away from her [she is laughing too btw]; I hug her from behind and tickle her. She laughs and says she'll give it back personally tomorrow. I let her go. Day B [not her regular self]: Day after A. From the start, I'm looking for her out of the corner of my eye. Finally, after first period I hear someone calling her name and I turn around in the direction fast as lightning and smile at her. Calling: "Nicky, where's my paper?" As soon as she see's me her expression turns horrified like she's seen a ghost and she runs down the hallway the other direction. I'm confused and shout jokingly: "Oh sure, run away like you always do." But she doesn't stop. Second period I go to my locker and my friend who has the locker next to me gives me back the sheet saying that Nicky asked him to give it to me. Things keep going on like this. One day she's nice and the next she's all weird and frightful. Does she want me or not? She once said, I recall vaguely, that she wanted revenge for "the Hell" I put her through junior year but I put it off as another one of her jokes. Now, I'm not too sure, was it all a game for her to get my attention and then reject me? I'm going crazy here not knowing.Any advice on what to do? more

Open Question: I've been seeing things lately?

Lately I've been seeing weird things, I don't know if either I'm hallucinating or anything. Last week, I was at my cousin's house. We were just having a normal day, just sitting around and talking. When I looked at her yard which was right in front of me I saw someone or specifically a man walking. Then he disappeared. And today, I was getting nail polish out of my drawer and I turned around to turn on the lights, I saw a black bubble. I brushed it off for a few hours, a while later my sister came into my room and I saw two bubbles or balloons it just floated and disappeared. I'm not depressed or anything. I'm happy, really, I would just like to know why I'm seeing these things. I'm almost 13, anyway. Please help, ASAP. Thank you. more

Open Question: Does this guy like me?

Here are the details: 1. Whenever I'm in the room or within earshot, he seems to get louder and more obnoxious-sounding. He will laugh really loudly, talk really loudly, and will even rough house with his pals. This only happens when he knows I'm there because I've observed him from a distance, and he seems to be very laid-back in his regular group of friends. Only when I'm around will he start to act up. 2. When we are alone, he will attempt to start some random conversation or tell a joke, but every time I start something (like if I ask him a question) he will barely make any eye contact. 3. When I'm walking in the halls, he will stare in my direction. (But only for about two seconds because I look at him right in the eyes and he looks away.) 4. An outward hint (this only happened once): He was standing with his group of friends when I walked by to go to the bus stop, and from out of nowhere he says "See ya later, [my name]" in a sort of shy and hesitant voice. However, he was WAVING while doing it and he wasn't even laughing with any of his pals. He looked embarrassed. Any advice would be helpful please :) I'm unsure because I've already asked this guy out twice in the previous years and he's turned me down. more

Open Question: Should I date this guy, or is he too controlling?

Ok...so just to give you an idea of how controlling he is. He is 17 and he lives on a farm. There is a helper dude who works on his farm, and the helper dude is like 35. Well the guy I like is completely the boss of him, lol. He simply gives him commands and the guy listens. One time my guy even made the helper dude carry him around on his shoulders...lol. My guy was seriously sitting on his shoulders telling him what to do. Well he is this way with everyone, but it really turns me on. Should I go out with him or just resist the urge?? more

Open Question: Rehashing something that happened at a range a few years back?

If you have a problem with long questions, stop now and leave. A few years ago I was at a range. One rangemaster didn't quite grasp the fact that single action revolvers do not have a cylinder that you can open, So on this occasion, I was shooting a couple pistols. The people shooting next to me, were a man and his teenage son. They had two revolvers. One was a Ruger Super Single Six .22 single action revolver; the other was a Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum single action revolver. The father/son team had the worst time with this rangemaster. The Dad emptied the guns, half c o c k e d the revolvers, and then opened the loading gate, and placed the revolvers on the table. The rangemaster was angry; it turned out, this range master wanted ALL CYLINDERS opened, whether they swung out or not. So if you owned a Ruger Single Action, he wanted you to actually remove the cylinder. I guess this guy wore suspenders with his belt, because he kinda overdid the safety thing. Anyway the Dad left to go do something at the range office, and left the 16 or 17 year old son to shoot the .22. The problem was the son was not quite sure how to put the cylinder back in. You kind of have to finesse it, and put it in just so. He was trying to put the cylinder back in, and was having no luck. My first .22 revolver my father let me shoot was a Ruger Bearcat, which although smaller was basically the same gun. I was very familiar with taking the cylinder out and putting it back in. So as the guy was fiddling with it, I asked him if he needed help putting it back in. He said "Yes," so I started helping him. I was at first trying to show him how to put it back in, but apparently he was one of those people you can't teach because they don't listen. I think he just wanted me to shut up and put it back together. So I did. As a courtesy to him, I put the .22 down, and then picked up the .357 and put the cylinder back into that. That's when everything when wrong. I looked up, and the son was suddenly yards away, acting like he didn't know me. And the Dad was standing right there, and looked furious. He snatched the .357 out of my hand, slammed it back down on the table, and then screamed at me "Keep your G***** hands off my gun!" I think he assumed that I just walked up to his guns without anyone's permission He then totally shocked me by pushing me. The guy must have been at least 250 pounds. I went flying. I am five foot four, 118 pounds. I hit one of the ancient tables, got an enormous splinter in my arm, and then fell down like a ton of bricks, tearing my elbow open on the disintegrating blacktop. I couldn't believe it. This place was surrounded by guns. A shoving match there could turn into blood and brains flying everywhere. Apparently this guy had never met people with a temper or he never planned ahead. I have a cousin who gets so mad he loses his mind. If this guy had shoved my cousin like that, my cousin would have simply shot the guy and his son, no if, ands or buts. I assume the guy didn't realize just how skinny I was. I think he MEANT to push me back. I don't think he intended on knocking me to the ground. It was a cold day, and I wear really bulky clothing when it is cold and windy. I think he thought there was more to me than there was. OK, so guess what? Remember the fussy rangemaster who was MR. SAFETY? Well, SUDDENLY he is struck blind and can't see anything. . I was so angry tears welled up in my eyes. I wanted to grab my gun, slap a clip in, and well, I will leave the rest to your imagination. What I actually did, was quickly load up my guns in their cases, and then rapidly walk out. I felt I needed to get out of there. The man showed me he was insane/crazy. The rangemaster showed me he was suddenly a coward who didn't want to get involved. And I was enraged and humiliated that 1) I was shoved and thrown bouncing around so easily 2)Embarrassed because some people there assumed I DESERVED this by touching another man's guns without permission. 3) I have this rage issue regarding being bullied by people bigger than me. I had literally been bullied and picked on my entire childhood due to my size. My face turned brick red, my mouth got dry, my heart was racing, I suddenly had a raging migraine, and had tunnel vision, and didn't see or hear other people until I got to the car. I didn't bother to get my targets to return them for the deposit. I just left. I felt I wasn't going to win no matter what. All the conservatives would just take the side of a good old boy. The rangemaster was a coward who didn't want to get involved. And the guy who pushed me proved he was crazy. Craziness and guns make a bad combination. I felt I had nothing to win and everything to lose by staying. But I am ashamed and humiliated every time I think about it. But what else could I have done? more

Open Question: My skateboard question?

Ok so I have been skateboarding for a week and I just made my trucks loose.With my trucks being loose I found it easier to turn and have fun cruising around.I may even invest in a long board later,I have heard they move much faster. So I want to learn tricks on my skateboard but I was having problems with the Ollie and I was out side and met some kids a little older then me who told me I should start off with the manual first and also get used to the popping motion of the board.One of them even let me try his board which had mob grip tape and I loved it,I wanted to steal it lol thats how good that grip tape was to my generic grip tape.I want to know what order should I learn things on a skateboard, I know to ride the board but after that what order should things be done.I just want a second opinion more

Open Question: So I am 19 years old and I need some advice.?

I have never had a girlfriend. I never go out and am not a very social type of person. I am kind of a loner. I don't no why. I have always been this way. I have only had feelings for one girl and this was in high school. I don't think she felt the same way about me, more just a "friend" relationship. I'm turning 20 in a couple of months and really don't know what to do. I mean, aren't you supposed to have your first kiss in junior high? My father has never been around, it has always been just me and my mom...i don't know if that has anything to do with this...and advice is welcomeI do have a job, just everyone that works there has a boy friend already... more

Open Question: Um... this is acward, what can I do?

Im a 20 year old college student living at home... My dad is having his girlfriend over, and its turned into a make out fest on the downstairs couch. Now... generally I wouldn't mind this with anyone else, except its my dad... I'm trapped inside my room upstairs and Im hungry, but the only exit is downstairs which goes through the living room and walking in on them once was acward enough, I don't want to do it enough even if I get a clean getaway through the garage afterwards. This whole thing is just surprising... 50 year old IMT director at a local college makes out with hot professor from USC on living room couch... just... wow. What are your thoughts? How can I navigate around this situation. more

Open Question: What do I do about a noisy upstairs neighbor?

I just moved into this nice apartment complex about 3 weeks ago, for the first week and a half it was great, I had no noise problems from anybody. Then all of a sudden, around 7 p.m. every night somebody would go STOMPING up the stairs and a short time later the person upstairs would turn on some loud horrible bongo type music. It wasn't that bad for the first few days because he'd turn it down or off after a short while but lately he's been turning it on and just having music on for hours and hours. He also keeps opening and closing his patio door repeatedly, like 5 times in just a couple minutes. He stomps around in his apartment and sometimes things just BANG to the floor VERY loudly to where it seems like something is just going to come through the ceiling. Sometimes he runs around up there, slams cupboards, slams doors... and I don't know if it's him or somebody else but somebody keeps running up and down and up and down the stairs and dragging things up and down it every night. In the morning and during the day everything is super quiet and it's really nice and peaceful, but once the sun goes down, the guy upstairs just goes nuts. What should I do? more

Open Question: what did i do wrong? ahhhhhhhhh!! (girls and guys welcome)?

So last night I was walking down the stairs with my friend in the science building talking to her, when a guy turns around and jumps into our conversation. It wasn't weird... it was like he overheard us talking about something he was interested in. Anyway, he was really nice and the three of us were walking out of the building, talking, when my friend realized she needed to go somewhere, leaving the guy and me alone. We had a great conversation, and nothing was over the top... just relaxed and talking about things I hadn't had a chance to talk about in quite a while. When we got to my apartment building, we exchanged names and I told him it was nice to meet him, when I said something about how I was in my 2nd year and he seemed caught by surprise; he's a first-year. I really expected him to ask me out or something... at least exchange means of contact, but we're only on a first-name basis I guess and we know what building the other lives in, but I doubt I'll ever see this guy again. I'm so confused... did I accidentally scare him off or something? How should I deal with hiim if I do happen to run into him again? What could I have done differently to get a date or some means of contact with him? Was he waiting for me to give him my number? I'm SO confused!!he's really really cute and tall :D more

Open Question: do i have a sleep disorder ? :\?

Open Question: Was my behavior wrong? This is really, really bothering me and I need to know! Thanks!?

So today my friend needed help finding some books in the library, and I helped him find them on the catalog and by call number, etc. He had about ten gigantic books, so I was helping him carry them to his car(we go to a commuter’s college), but he kept walking really far ahead of me. I asked to please slow down so I could walk next to him, and he laughed and said, “You walk too slow!” So, as a joke, I put the books down and I was like you can take them to your car yourself!” while laughing, but he got really mad and just kept walking. So, I just got the books and started walking to his car, but I still said, “Bryan, can you please slow your *** down,” and he turned around, mad, and said, “Here give me the books. You’re a strange girl.” He left, and I didn’t know what to do, so I left too. He texted me like twenty minutes later saying, “I’m sorry I got mad but I was in a hurry, and it’s not like I wouldn’t have talked to you after we put the books in my car. You’re a real cool girl but our argument last week over text creeped me out, and you had the same sort of reaction tonight. Has anyone ever told you about those tendencies you have?” (He was referring to an argument we had last week over something petty, which we worked out). But anyway, I said, “Thanks for texting, I apologize as well. It’s kind of hard to talk about it over text, so would it be cool if I called you later tonight?” he didn’t respond, so I called him an hour later, and he didn’t answer. It’s been three hours and I have not heard from him. I understand it may have been my fault that he was carrying heavy books and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, and may have wanted to get back to homework, but is what I did really so bad that he couldn’t even talk to me tonight? We’ve been close friends for a year, we’ve had a lot of good times together and I’ve been a great friend to him. He is 30 and I am 22, if that makes a difference in your answers. Thanks! more

Open Question: Know a link of template for a person turning around?

Hi.I'm currently trying to finish a 2D animation. I'm only a beginner in animating. Finding the "girl spinning" part a bit hard though. Do you know of a template of a person spinning around? or even better a bunch of animation templates (i.e. walking, spinning, sitting, etc) Thanks a lot! more

Open Question: Twisted my ankle....?

I was at work and didn't see when i turned around that there was a bucket right where I was about to step, I kind of stepped inside of it and twisted my ankle. Now it doesn't hurt a lot when I put weight on it, it only hurts when I bend it or walk. If I try to walk I get a limp. I have a tensor bandage around it at the moment just to try and straighten it out while I walk. What could I do to make it heal faster? Should I get it checked out or do you think it'll be fine? more

Open Question: I've had a crush on my neighbor for years, what should I do?

My neighbor is Hot! Every time I see him around the farm, on the tractor, or by the barn... whatever I can't help but look, he is eye candy! He's dated in the past but it never works out. He's always been single. I hear he has a bad temper, jealousy, possesive but he does not hit women. When my friends and family come over and happen to see him, they talk about how Hot he is too! I'm in a perfectly happy marriage and have no complaints. But I'm not dead and damm he's hot! What should I do? How can I turn the feelings off when I just want to go over there and do him? Hunting season is coming up and he looks good marching off to the woods in his camoflauge with his gun. I've been avoiding him like the plague. So he proably thinks I hate him. I need to stop it! Help!wow! you are so wrong. I am a woman and this is a serious question. I thought it was against the rules to Insult people on here. and your wrong accusations of me are insulting. more

Open Question: horrible roommate ahhhh!!?

Hey, So I have this roommate and this girl is possibly the worst roommate anyone can ever have. She's totally anti-social and it really seems like she has a phobia of being around people. She does not want any visitors in the room, and shes bit of a messy person. These couple of days i've noticed that on her MacBook the webcam light is turned on when shes out to class. I found this out while I was changing my clothes and it definitely made me feel really uneasy. I really want to try to get this girl to be forced to change rooms...I don't know forsure if she is recording me, but if she is...will something be done if I take this to the housing dept? Thanks in advancebtw I don't want to switch rooms, I want her to switchRAs don't do crap more

Open Question: I miss him so much... What should I do?

This isn't going to be your typical "Ohh, he broke up with me, but I still love him" type thing... There's a bit of a story here, and I'm going to tell you: I've been going to this summer camp for seven years, Camp Hart. This was my last year as a camper, at 15, and I stayed for the entire summer session, 7 weeks. While I was there, I met the most incredible person, and his name was Alex. Alex was a counselor at the Nature and Wilderness program, which I chose during the first week. The second we saw each other, there was a definite connection. At first, he avoided me, which confused and saddened me. Alex was a fascinating person, and I wanted to get to know him (being hot helped too, haha). But as the weeks progressed, we became closer and closer, until by week 5 or so, he was one of my best friends. At Nature, my favorite thing to do was make teas and cook different plants I found around camp, and Alex would regularly help me with this. One day, while gathering firewood in the forest, a good deal away from camp, we found a tree that had fallen half down, and that looked easy to climb.... so we climbed it. While we were high up in the branches, he kissed me. It was the most incredible kiss I'd ever had, and we stayed up in that tree for a long time. He explained that he had avoided me at first because I was a camper, and he was afraid that exactly this would happen (camper-counselor relationships weren't allowed). Alex made sure that I would promise to not tell anyone about our kiss until the summer was over... The rest of camp was wonderful and terrible... I got to spend every day with Alex, but I couldn't be with him the way I wanted. And finally, it ended. I found out that he lives 2 states away from me, but before I left, he took me back to that tree and kissed me goodbye. He told me he would always remember me, but he couldn't work as a counselor next year because of college. It's been a few weeks since we said goodbye, and I can't stop thinking about him. We chat on facebook almost daily, and he says the sweetest things to me and it only makes me love him more. I can never forget him, but I'm afraid that I can never see him again. In November he'll turn 18, so not only will we be separated by 2 states, but we'll be separated by statutory rape laws as well... Please help me figure out what I should do, I can't let him go but I need to move on... more

Open Question: Please answer seriously... what's wrong with me?

Answerers, I have a serious problem. I want to apologize for making this question too long, and for being an absolute freak of nature. I'm sorry to all of you. I truly am. I'll try to be as clear as I can. I've just started college. I'm roomed up and everything and I'm going to start class in the morning. I haven't had much luck getting a girlfriend, and I'm told that college will be a great place for it. The whole summer, I've been banking on getting a girlfriend in college. But, also over the summer, I've been getting a lot of doubts about whether I deserve a girlfriend. I suppose I'd better show you the heads and the tails of the coin I'd like you to flip for me. I know that "all my life" is usually used as a euphemism, but literally all my life, the one thing I've wanted most of all, enough that I'd be willing to forsake everything else for, is a girlfriend. I want a cute, kind, funny and intelligent girl that I can relate to, who isn't afraid to be herself around me, and I don't have to be afraid of being myself around her. My idea of a nice date is to go out with the girl I'm dating, show her a good time on the town. Maybe a movie, and dinner. I like the girls that I date to feel like I'm treating them fairly, the way they deserve to be treated. I want romance and a loving relationship. But I can't do that when I'm afraid to leave my dormroom for anything other than class. But, the flipside, and problem with this is: I have been having some fantasies about girls... Sexual, mainly. Sex is constantly on my mind, and I wish it wasn't. Everywhere I turn, "Latin roots homework. Sex. Sex. Se- Where's my- Sex. Sex. I need to make sure that I have my iPod- Sex. This is delicious. Sex. Sex. Sex. Oh my! There's a pretty girl! Sex x 6." This may not seem like it's a big deal, but I've also been having really kinky fantasies of girls all tied up, at my mercy, not being able to stop me from having my way with them. The thing with this, though, is that it's not something I want. I mean, I want it, but I also don't really want it. My body is what wants sex, not me. I want to have sex so badly that I find myself having to have private time and get myself off in the most inconvenient times of the day. But that's not even the half of it. Lately, I've had the feeling that normal sex won't be enough for me. That I won't be turned on enough by just my girlfriend alone, and that I'll have to strap her to something in order to do anything. I also read this erotic story of a boy and his girlfriend who get caught up in a horrifying sex scenario, and it did not have a happy ending. It turned me on a great deal, but I've realized that none of the things I fantasize about are morally right. All of the things that I think about, make me feel that I don't deserve a girlfriend, let alone sex. Because of this, I've gotten really depressed. I got so depressed today that I couldn't even find it in myself to get off the floor of my dorm room. I'm actually breaking as I type this. This is all really kinky stuff that I think about, but if anyone tried to do that to me, or to a girl that I love, I would just... die. Lately, I've been wishing that I would die, so that I don't have to worry about whether I'm going to hurt someone or not. I can't take having sex on my mind all the time, and wanting badly to have my way with the nearest thing without a Y chromosome. I don't want to be some sex-starved monster. I want my urges to die down, because it's not doing any good right now to have urges and no outlet. I think that if I can just get a girlfriend, then sex may come eventually, but as stated, I want a girlfriend more than I want sex. I can't find a girl when I look, but I can't just wait around for a girl to walk into my life. However, I'm also too afraid of putting myself out there. I'd personally like to get a girlfriend by the time I'm thirty. Just so you guys know, I *have* had a girlfriend before, I just haven't had a girlfriend in three years. I want to say one more time that I'm truly sorry for what a freak of nature I've become, and that I want to be a good person, a good friend, a good boyfriend, and anything else I hold a title to. Could somebody please help me? Offer me some advice? more

Open Question: Why is my behavior like this?

I have low self esteem, and sometimes when I'm around I don't know my brother I think he's trying to cheat me on something like trying to steal from me, or my sister or something. But when I'm around friends I'm energetic and stuff, and at the same time I feel like I'm less than others, and I'm really sensitive about what people tell me and sometimes even turn kind of aggressive towards some people. Why is this? Why am I like this? more

Open Question: Will Republicans make Obama also ride the coat tails of the GOP Congress and Senate into legitimacy?

Its almost identical of what is going to happen in November when the GOP wins both the Senate and House, this time by a much bigger margin than in 1994 when Newt was named speaker of the house and Dole the Senate leader. Now this took a tremendously failed president in Clinton who would have no doubt gone down in flames in his second election (put the 3rd party Ross Perot factor aside for a moment which split Dole's victory for President in Clinton's second election)..............but will Obama start looking more like he is actually competent after the GOP begin to turn things around one year after they take the house and senate this November?

Open Question: There is a strange star in the northwest sky what is it?

It seems to be pulsing like a pulsar neutron star. I looked at it for quite sometime, the object turned yellow to orange to blue to white. I showed other people, and they saw the same thing. Can pulsars be seen in our night sky, I have never seen one before. I saw it around 12:52am Eastern Time Standard.9/02/2010 more

Open Question: This is making me bawl my eyes out nonstop..PLEASE HELP!?

Open Question: I need a mans opinion. Girls are welcome too! :)?

I'm having a little bit of a problem with my husband and I's sex life. I have a higher sex level then he does, and it seems we're not on the same page. I've talked to him several times about this and he keeps telling me the same thing, "I don't know." I don't want to bring it up too much. I don't want to sound like I'm pestering him and pressuring him. I've done everything in the books. I've walked around naked in the house, I bought a school girl outfit, I've experimented with his body and know what turns him on and I'm pretty condifident in the oral sex. Its him though. He doesn't do foreplay, he hasn't asked about my fantasies and made them come true, he hasn't done oral sex on me in like 7 months, he rarely touches me down there. I look after myself. I don't smell and its not untamed down there. BUT, I know I have gained a little of weight over the course of one year, but he keeps telling me its not the problem. I have no idea whats up. What should I do? I want serious opinions please. more

Open Question: I cannot sleep and cannot stop crying! What did I do SO wrong? PLEASE HELP!?

Open Question: What to do about my friends?

Alright I took the adicve people gave me the other day. Well anyway the shy kid I was talking about I finally got ot talk to him. He is a real nice guy a little strange but real nice. Well anyway turned out we have so much in common you know. He told me about all these cool books I could read(I am the biggest book worm ever! I mean everything form Harry Potter ot Shakespeare!) So I was real glade. Anyway turns out he gets bullied a lot and he got beat a lot at home as a child. So that's why he doen't like to talk to anyone. Turned out I was the first person who talked to him since he came to town in a year!!!! Anyway this guy is kinda the school werido you know. So I have one problem...how am I going to get my friends not to be mean to him. (They are mean to him. I mean they have called him names before.) So what am I goign to tell them when I show up with him around? (No he isn't getting clingy or anyhting he just liked hanging out with me. He's in like 9th grade and has no friends what so ever. So he liekd having someone to talk to. Plus he spends almost all his tiem by himself since his flocks are never home.)No I don't care what my friends think. What I care about is them picking on him cause he takes so much crap! I mean this guy has come to school almost crying! I dont want them to be mean to him when he gest so much shit already!I do tell them to stop and that it isn't cool but they never stop! I have always been friends with these guys and they haven';t alwasy done it just to this one guy! more

Open Question: Does this boy like me?

This is kind of long. I need some real answers please. Two summers ago, the summer before 9th grade, I started volunteering at this hospital. I met this dude who introduced himself to me. He was going to be in 11th. It turns out we went to the same school too so that was a plus. We ended up spending that entire day together, just walking around and doing work together. Once school started, I saw him, but I'm super shy so I never said hi. I would catch him looking at me with my friends, but he never said anything to me either. It hurtt.. Then again this summer, he talked to me again. He asked me what school I went to and what grade I was going to. I told him I was going to be a Sophmore and he smiled. Then we were at lunch, and I sat with my friends, and I kept catching him looking at me. I was sitting in the office, and he was leaving and said bye to me. I asked him if he was coming on Sunday (which is another day I volunteer) and he said, "Most likely...are YOU coming?" and I said.."...no." and he frowned and went, "Oh." Then he left. And recently I went to the hospital on Sunday. I saw him again, and he gave me a hug. Then he walked off with his friends. I really want to know if this dude likes me. REALLY. Because I really like him and I think about him all the time. What do you guys think? more

Open Question: Could this dream mean something?

Okay, so there's this guy and he seems like a sweet kid. He's funny and cute, and I can tell he likes me and so can my cousin. Last night I was contemplating on the fact that I happen to be anti-love, anti-relationship, anti-crush, and anti-dating because I don't believe in that; I think it's all silly talk because I don't believe that love exists or that there is a such thing as "nice guys"... all they want, ever wanted and will ever want is to screw us over, and the ones that seem nice are the ones to watch out for. I'm scared because he draws me in, and I can't resist him. I swore to myself I'd never be interested in the male sex (or anyone), but I can't deny myself when it comes to this one. He flirts with me, he'll tap my shoulder and I'll look and he'll be on the other side, and he'll poke and tickle my sides when I LEAST expect it, and I like it. He's also undeniably good-looking (understatement, he's gorgeous!) and we're friends, we're always ALWAYS together and when I'm around him I feel light, like I can just float around in the air. The reason I plan to stay single for [the majority of my life] is because it seems that guys just aren't worth it and relationships always seem to be a waste of time. There was a girl who I used to be friends with, but she always went behind my back and talked about me, spread false nasty rumors... but the worst thing she did was set me up with two of her guy friends so they could screw me over, which of course they did, and she was behind it and I haven't associated with her since. I hate her for that. And I won't give myself the opportunity to be used and hurt again, I won't let it happen again. I had this dream last night, and I wonder if it's a psychological, sort of subconcious warning? This guy, and the ex-friend were both in it. The guy was with me, along with a bunch of other people on a trip in England in this really crowded cabin or whatever, and it was late at night and we were talking and chilling (We're both insomniacs in reality) while everybody else was asleep. It was crowded, everybody was sleeping but crammed together in this little room. He gave me a little hug, and I don't know what happened but somehow I wanted to kiss him so I did. He kind of backed up and said, "No... I already have someone..." and then I saw him sitting against a wall with me lying in his arms, with some type of wire (barbed wire? electric wire?) wrapped around my body with these lights on it that resembled clear Christmas lights. It shocked me every time I tried to get close to him, and he and his friends set up the wire. But then we decided to freak the girl out and make her mad by moaning like we were [faking] doing it, but it turned out that (it was in the dark, we couldn't see her) she had been recording our voices and playing it back to everybody, telling them it was a sex tape. I was angry, got up and stepped over the sleeping people, walked across the room to yell at her: "YOU STOLE MY EFFING EYELINER!" I used that as an excuse to yell at her, because I didn't want others to know why I was really mad. And she denied stealing my eyeliner and so did the guy. Whoa, was he in on it? Was this some kind of plan to frame me? This was in the middle of the night, maybe 2 or 3 a.m. The train to take us all back to California left at 5 a.m., and I woke up at 6 a.m. As soon as I got ready, the train had already left. I found myself and a few other girls left behind, in England with no money or cell phones. Nobody woke us up in time to go back home and they left us behind. Could this dream be a psychological warning, a sort of prophecy dream or something? What do you think it means? more
