Gf Problems! Please HELP! Does she feel the same way I feel about her!?
This pretty long but please I need some help… Ok I met this girl about four months ago and I recently lost my virginity too, were both 18. She had an ex boyfriend who she loved very much and may still care for a little. They promised each other when they were going out that they were gonna go to prom together. Eventually they broke up. I got with her about three months later. About a month ago I asked her to go to prom with me and she said yes, prom is about 3 months away. Anyways yesterday morning she told me that her ex texted her, saying that she broke their promise of going to prom together. She told me what he said and she said that she didn’t know what to so. The way I see it is that when you break up all promises/deals or anything like that are broken too. I got mad because she actually has to think about who she’s going to go to prom with, I’m her bf. Anyways I left and didn’t speak to her the rest of the day. Later at night I got a text asking if I was still upset, I told her how I felt about her having to choose, that is shouldn’t even have to be an issue. She then told me that she wanted to go with me, but Im huting inside because she had to "choose". it should have been an obvious desicion. For example, if you are married and you have the opportunity to cheat on your spouse, let say you won’t do it, me I won’t cheat not because it’s the right thing to do but because I love the other person too much. Anyways, she told me yesterday night that she wanted to go with me, but in a hollow voice that basically says that she dosent care. I told her that I want to go with someone who wants to go with me, she said that she wants to go with me. But again in an unenthusiastic voice.

What's a more challenging Metallica song to learn?
I’ve pretty much learned how to play all of Metallica’s easier songs, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, and I’ve learned some intermidiate songs like one, sanitarium, master of puppets, and battery, but I want more of a challenge, anyone have any ideas of more difficult Metallica songs?


I will suggest you "one", but i see that you already learn it. i suggest you "cliffs of dover", it’s not from metallica, but it’s very hard. It took me 4 months learn it
Edgar | Feb 04, 2010


I would have to say Blackened. Kirk’s solo is VERY hard to play. this is my favorite song by them. its fast, raw, and aggressive. i think you will have fun with it…check out this guy..he does a lot of Metallica "How To Videos"…http://www.youtube.com/user/m169marroqui n

Also, Dyers Eve is hard. it has difficult rhythms and a tough solo. have at it…Keep it metal!

What are the reasons that women sign up for mail-order bride services in russia?
or china? If it is for love, why cant they find sum1 compatible in their home country? If it is financial, I thought china doing really well financially? If it is big money scam, how does it work and why does it continue to work if the scam is known?
Also, why are there (that i know of) no USA mail order brides?
sorry if this seems naive, but poverty is all relative to whatever the local economy is isnt it? So exactly how poor can the russians and chinese be?
They have clothes and they eat and they have jobs and home dont they?
please tell me what you think poor is and what is not poor please thanks.


The comments made above are correct regarding poverty, but those looking for American husbands to escape poverty are few. We hear about them only because they play to American ideas of "it is all they want – a green card and money.

The "poverty escape" for a visa and money was prevalent up until around 2002, when the US government cracked down on "easy visas". I can assure you that by the time a man and woman recieve a visa these days, they know if there is true love or not.

That said…

Women are no different in other countries than they are in the USA. They want love, respect, and a stable life. I can not speak to the Chinese, but I can speak to the Russian point of view (since I am married to one).

There is quite a gap in the population of men vs. women, due to WWII, although it is growing smaller (one of the reasons Russians pay families to have children). Also, health there is poor, and the lifespan of a man is shorter than in the US. Because of the shortage of jobs, caused by the economy, men tend to not be able to support a family, and they often fall to drinking. It is also "acceptable" for a man to treat his woman like property. Women there look for an older man who they expect will be more stable in how they treat a woman, their jobs, and family life. No offense, but young men tend to drink and party, and are less interested in family life.

American men (Western men in general) tend to pay a lot of attention on a woman, they pay attention on children, and they accept a woman that is divorced with children (this is not accepted in Russian culture so much).

There are no US "mail order brides" because they have what these other women are looking for already.

Complex question, complex answer.

Desperate to get out of their countries. Matchmaker type marriages are more acceptable in those countries as opposed to the US where people look upon them like, "What you can’t find someone on your own?"
Nika S | Sep 14, 2007


People have different reasons for doing that. Some feel its the only way out, for others it financial stability. Many of these woman actually have no family and are desperate to find a way to stabilize themselves in whatever means possible. China is doing very well but you have to remember there are over a billion Chinese in the country, even if only 1% lived in poverty the number would be horrendous. Its a shame my people from China have to put themselves through such a thing, but the reality is there aren’t enough well paying jobs for the +1 billion of people living there.

Also, believe it or not, this happens in the U.S. also. Its part of the black market which flourishes in cities like New York and Los Angeles. Although it is not done on a large scale as Russians or Chinese, American woman also go through it. The poverty in the U.S. is also horrendous. While the embezzlers (or "buisness men" and "politicians" as they call themselves) make the majority of the money and exploit their own people (and people in other countries) the poor stay poor.
Fulanito | Sep 14, 2007


Have you visited Russia and seen the kind of poverty the average Russian lives in? Many of us in the West have no concept of just how grindingly poor many Russians, Belo-Russians, Georgians etc actually are. It’s not about being unable to find love, it’s about hoping to find an escape from the almost complete poverty they and their families live in.

The sad part of all this is that a large percentage of these women never meet a husband but end up being a part of the sex slave trade that flourishes in Europe.

One family I know in Turkmenistan have a son working here in London to support a mother whose pension hasn’t been paid in 8 months, who also has an invalid sister to support. Their government pensions are paid only intermittently because the government is almost as poor as the people it rules. It is these sorts of things that often force these women to look for a Western husband so they can support their poverty stricken families in the Russian Federation.

Why doesn’t this happen in the US and England? Because we are fortunate enough to enjoy a much higher standard of living that allows most people a decent opportunity in life.

Don’t be sucked in by the images of the ”novo Ruski” – the new rich of Russia. They are such a small percentage of the population, whereas the rural poor are, by far, the greatest proportion of the population. Poverty always breeds desperation.
chris m | Sep 14, 2007


In Russia, there are strict government regulations and taxes that make life hard to live. Many Russians are poor and live in rural area without access to very much that we, in America take for granted. Many mail-order wives marry to get a green-card, making them basically an American citizen if they can stay married to the man for 7 years. Typically, the brides get very little of the cut and simply take a chance to live in this great land.
In China, although the country itself is doing well, the people have a much lower standard of living than over here (although I think most Asian mail-order brides don’t come from China proper). Also, in those countries, arrainged marriages are still commonplace, and women are treated considerably less than equal.
As to why there are no American mail-order brides….Why would there be? There is nothing than an American man has to offer that would make the condition of being almost a slave worthwhile…Americans are already citizens, and they can get money through other means that marraiges.
Gabe R | Sep 14, 2007


Simple: to get out of Russia, which is a horrible place to live at the moment. These brides don’t give a crap about their naive husbands-to-be. They just want to get in the country, establish themselves, and when they do, divorce their husbands 5 years later and go their own way.
The people who run these scames try to convince American & Euro men that Russians are an old fashioned, village minded, humble people, who put their husbands and families first, or that they’re basically "Caucasian appearance, Asian in character" — not true! Russian values are not very different from Westerners. Russian women are just as feminist and individualistic as American and British women. They have the same "do whatever it takes" attitude. If there were some major turn of event in the world and USA becomes as messy as Russia or Latin America, you would see American girls doing the same thing.
The scam is well known, but the desire to marry is strong, so many disilluisoned, lonely guys are willing to take the chances.

Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking (2008)

IMDB rating: 6.10

Plot: The drama follows an 11-year-old girl’s struggle to come to terms with her mother’s abandonment.

Directors:

Actors: Stahl Nick,Hopper Dennis,Harrelson Woody,Chin Simon,Ennis Mike,Rennie Callum Keith,Scoular Peter,Skog Troy,Drama,

My mother sometimes wakes up at night and is confused. Is this just a form of sleepwalking?
My mother is 56 years old and every now and then she’ll wake confused. She always knows who I am, but she never remembers what day it is and her eyes have a glazed over look. She doesn’t appear to blink either. This usually happens once or twice a month and she’s always fine the next day and she never remembers anything about these spells.

She goes to bed pretty early around 7:00-7:30 pm as she still has a full time job so I would say these spells usually happen between 9:00-11:00 pm. She’s absolutely fine and healthy otherwise but she is on blood pressure medicine as well as potassium and water pills.

Could her prescriptions have anything to do with this or is this just some form of light sleepwalking? This really, really scares me to my core folks so any advice would be appreciated.


that is just regular old sleeping walking. I know what you mean though. My brother is always sleep walking and its so creepy. her starts talking to me about weird people he knows :S

Dreamgirl42 | Feb 03, 2010


Sounds like normal sleep walking to me. Perhaps she is under more stress at work than she was previousley?

As she already is on medication she should mention this to her Doctor. If you can pinpoint when the sleep pattern changed it may help. Also perhaps keep a diary between now and when she finally gets to see the Doc. Note what time her lat meal, drink were and what time she went to bed. If she takes any of her medication arounf that time that should be noted too.
Al Scusi | Feb 03, 2010


I am a nurse. It is very hard to evaluate your Mom online, impossible really. But yes, I would look and see exactly what her meds are and the possible side effects. Just Google the meds and see what the side effects can be. Now remember this, all drugs have side effects and it may just be that the side effects do not outweigh the benefits she is getting from the meds, but meds can be changed too if they are the issue. The glazed over look and not blinking are also some concern. I certainly would have her go to her doctor and report these issues, perhaps you can go with her. The sooner you get to the doctor the better off. He may want to run some tests and possibly a sleep study and get to the bottom of this thing, that way maybe you both will sleep better.

What do I need to know about the zombie apocalypse?
my friend is giving me a 50 question test about it on monday, and she said if i don’t pass with at least a 95% i get punched.

i already know a lot, but what are some key details to know about it?


Read this it will probably help you.

The zombie apocalypse is a particular scenario of apocalyptic fiction that customarily has a science fiction/horror rationale. In a zombie apocalypse, a widespread rise of zombies hostile to human life engages in a general assault on civilization. In some mythologies, victims of zombies may become zombies themselves if they are bitten by zombies; in others, everyone who dies, whatever the cause, becomes one of the undead. In either scenario, this causes the outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis: the spreading "zombie plague" swamps normal military and law enforcement organizations, leading to the panicked collapse of civilian society until only isolated pockets of survivors remain, scavenging for food and supplies in a world reduced to a pre-industrial hostile wilderness.There are several common story elements that create a zombie apocalypse:

Zombies, whatever form they take, are unprecedented in the setting of the story; the event that created them is unknown or has never happened before and it is not generally known how to effectively suppress them. The zombies cannot be controlled easily with available technologies.[1]
Initial contacts with zombies are extremely traumatic, causing shock, panic, disbelief and possibly denial, hampering survivors’ ability to deal with hostile encounters.[2]
The response of authorities to the threat is slower than its rate of growth, giving the zombie plague time to expand beyond containment. This results in the collapse of the given society. Zombies take full control while small groups of the living must fight for their survival.[2]
The stories usually follow a single group of survivors, caught up in the sudden rush of the crisis. The narrative generally progresses from the onset of the zombie plague, then initial attempts to seek the aid of authorities, the failure of those authorities, through to the sudden catastrophic collapse of all large-scale organization and the characters’ subsequent attempts to survive on their own. Such stories are often squarely focused on the way their characters react to such an extreme catastrophe, and how their personalities are changed by the stress, often acting on more primal motivations (fear, self-preservation) than they would display in normal life.[2][3]

Generally the zombies in these situations are the slow, lumbering and unintelligent kind first made popular in the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.[1] Recent films, however, have refeatured zombies that are more agile, vicious, intelligent, and stronger than the traditional zombie.[4] In most cases of "fast" zombies, creators use mindless human beings (as in Zombieland and Left 4 Dead) instead of re-animated corpses to logically counter the "slow death walk" of Romero’s zombies. According to a 2009 Carleton University and University of Ottawa epidemiological analysis, an outbreak of even Living Dead’s slow zombies "is likely to lead to the collapse of civilization, unless it is dealt with quickly

My cats are so darn greedy! It's driving me mad. Any tips to curb their appetites?
I have two neutered males, one is about a year old, the other about two years old. The younger male used to be trim and fit, the older one has always been on the heavier side since we adopted him, but not as bad as now. The younger cat is beginning to pick up bad eating habits from the older cat, and he’s losing his slim, physique fast. It’s disgusting to me to see how much gut spills over the oldest one when he lays down..he looks pregnant. Actually, I saw a pregnant cat this past weekend that was due any day and she was not even as fat as my oldest cat. I feed them high quality cat food (Wellness Core) and raw meat, the same cuts of meat you or I would eat. No fatty meats, just lean cuts when they get meat and it’s a modest portion. I can NEVER leave the food bowl empty of dried food, or else the oldest will mew and look at anyone eating anything in the house…even if he has just scarfed down his share of dry food and a few strips of raw meat. I tried to put him on a diet, and that involved cutting back on the dry food left out. That led to him pissing in the utility room along the door out of anger at me. They are both healthy. No parasites. All of their shots are up to date. The vet advised cutting back on the food, I tried that, and the pissing deal happened, and I know it was the oldest one who did that. Now, I am really starting to despise their eating habits. It’s disgusting how much food they go through in a day. I have to feed the oldest one alone nearly 3 1/2 cups a day if I am not supplementing that day with raw meat. The cat is close to 17 pounds. The youngest is 12 lbs., but he has a gut starting on him, too, and is following the eating patterns of the fat one. Even when he is not hungry, he will go eat if the fat one is in there eating. There are plenty of toys, cat castles and scratching posts to amuse them both…plus we all play with them, especially the kids. What can I do about the fat bastard? Also, what can I do to stop his habits from ruining the health of my younger cat?
So Jeff, you are suggesting I should not fed him so he can piss all over my house in anger/retribution for no food being left out? I think I am just going to sell the cat. If i was a mean person I would just put him on the streets. I am tired of him begging for everything.
How can I cut back without making the fat one mad to piss in my utility room? That really makes me mad. I know he is not starving at all.


I have a similar problem with 2 females, but you are feeding them way too much! Cats don’t need an insane amount of exercise to maintain a normal weight, but if I were you, I’d set up a feeding schedule and do it separately. You need to cut the dry food in half for the bigger guy, and stop with extra meat for now. I know it’s hard, but I had to go through this in a one bedroom condo, and I also have a dog who will eat their food. But I had to do totally separate feedings. Try twice a day.

PS – Also, be sure not to let him get thin. Seventeen pounds is about average for a very large framed cat, so he may just need to lose a few pounds.

Messykatt | Dec 23, 2009


Three and a half cups of food is way too much food for a cat. My German Shepherd dog only gets two cups a day. You have caused this problem yourself, by ‘free feeding’ them. Never leave food out all day and night. That is how they got fat – eating whenever they wanted. Cats don’t know how to regulate their intake of food. Raw meat is not necessary, either. Give each cat 1/2 of a small can of cat food, once a day. The pounds will come off and they will be much healthier for it. A fat cat is not healthy.
Jeff | Dec 23, 2009


Ok, calm down, you are too obsessed with this and are now calling the cat’s names and disgusted by their eating habits.
The older on is not influencing the other on to overeat. Unfortunately, you gave in to the cat when he was younger and he just expects more.
Arer your cats neutered? If not, this will help curb the spraying, but it may take a month before it stops. Some cats will continue spraying even after neuter, but many stop.
Feed the boys, 3 or 4 small meals a day. Each cat does not need more than a third of a cup at each meal. ( just cat food, water and nothing else.) They will lose weight slowly which is much healthier for them.
Now, has the overweight cat has his thyroid checked and a complete blood panel done. If not, he may have an underlying condition that can be corrected or helped if treated.
