How can I help an ex marine friend who seems like he wants to talk about his negative military experiences?

He says he's "seen things" but he was never in combat or any thing like that. Can someone tell me what he means by he's "seen things"? Can someone give me an idea of what these things would be exactly so i can better understand him I know little of what men see being in the marines for several years. He seems in pain.I want to help him.

How can I help an ex marine friend who seems like he wants to talk about his negative military experiences?
Just because he has seen things doesn't mean it is a negative military experience.





No one can tell you what "seen things" is that is his memory or visions. If you think he needs help encourage him to go see a professional. If not offer to listen to him without being judgmental.
Reply:I am a Nam vet living on disability. The training and experience a Marine goes thru, there is no such thing as an ex marine, along with the mental exercises required to prepare yourself to kill people takes a serious toll. I was never in real combat in that I fixed fighters and we took a few mortar rounds here and there but that is not what civilians consider combat although I new the next one might get me.





The best advice I can give is shut up and listen. After a while you can make your own decision.
Reply:Maybe he is BSing.
Reply:Only he can explain what that means. And you do not have to be in direct combat to see what a mortar round can do to a person.





Tell him you would like to hear what he has to say, and you will be there for him. Do not judge anything he says or speculate on anything. Just let him know he can talk to you when he's ready.





Learn about active listening.
Reply:Just talk to him. More then likely he doesn't want to talk about it. Just engage in normal conversation and when he feels comfortable, he will open up on his own. Its hard to talk to civilians about a lot of it because civilians just dont have the experience to understand it in general. Just talk about sports, girls or whatever until he feels like it. Forcing him on it isn't usually a good thing. Just be there for him, be a friend, not a councilor.





As for what it was, it could be a lot of things. Even in a base, you still occasionally get rocket attacks, see wounded or dead, or just hear the reports or stories of others.
Reply:Even if he wasn't in combat, he may have seen some criminal, violent, or corrupt acts that have compromised his worldview. You sound like a good friend--the best thing you can do for him is tbe there for him and listen if he decides to open up. If you can, without pressuring him, see if he would be willing to visit his nearest VA (Veteran's Affairs) clinic where counselors are available to help with post-traumatic stress. He can also call Military One Source at 1-800-342-9647 to speak with a counselor 24/7. If his chain of command did a good job, he should already be aware of these resources.

Can you all help me find some great love poems?
The Deepest Love I Know Friday, April 11, 2008








When you look into my eyes,





Its a feeling I just cant describe.





You never have to say anything,





because I know just what you're thinking.





I look back on our time spent together,





and I see myself with you forever.





Someday I would love to go through life,





with pride knowing that I'm your wife.





We have gone through alot,





and the memories we share will not be forgot.





I find myself in love more and more each day,





which is why I'd be crushed if you ever went away.





I've learned that life is too short to be sad,





but through our happiness together, I'm glad.





The love that we share is great,





which is why I would forever wait.





Wait until the day comes when you're ready,





to be something more than just going steady.





Cant wait until the day I can go to bed at night,





knowing I'll wake up with you holding onto me so


tight.





To be yours forever would be a dream come true,





which is why I want to marry you.





Your eyes have captured my heart,





and that is something I will never part.





Your smile brightens up each day,





which is why I'd be so sad, if you ever went away.





After all of this I'll say it again:





When you look into my eyes,





it's a feeling I just can't describe.





Please promise me we'll stick together through and


through,





and that our love will always be true.





I love you, now, tomorrow, and always,





and I will never ever go away.











I DIDENT WRITE THIS POEM BUT I LOVE IT!!


What can I do to help the bride to be to get ready for the 1st day of wedding dress shopping?

I am her best friend and maid of honor. We do know where we are shopping, and we do have an appointment, but I just wanted to know if there was any idea's of something extra and special I could do for her

What can I do to help the bride to be to get ready for the 1st day of wedding dress shopping?
get your camcorder and video tape her every move. she's sure to appreciate it! LOL
Reply:I agree with Nice Girl's post. Take lots of pictures and video for her to have some memories to look back on.
Reply:If the store allows it, take pictures of her looking at the dresses and trying them on. That way she can put them in her wedding album
Reply:Just give her your advice/opinion when she asks for it and be honest. :)
Reply:Welcome to the club!!! I am a best friend/maid-of-honor for a wedding this summer. I took my camera, just in case. And it turned out that the bride's mom forgot hers, so it came in handy. I just took lots of pictures of each dress from different angles, so when we were talking about them later, she had pictures to refer to. Be honest in your opinions, but nice and tactful.
Reply:Go online to David's Bridal. They have a great website where you can actually color coordinate the entire bridal party. You are able to add accessories and all! This is great especially if the bride already has an idea of what colors are going to be used for the wedding.
Reply:Be honest and helpful. Also, wedding dresses tend to run smaller in sizes, so be prepared to make her feel better if she is the kind of person that would let that get her down. Make the day fun so you will both remember how great a time you had..and pictures always help.
Reply:If you go to a good place where there will be associates there to help with the tieing and buttoning of all sorts, there's free time for you to take pictures and video's of whatever. If you go to a place where you have to pull dresses off the rack, keep in mind that the dresses do not look flattering when they are on a hanger. Pull some that she may think that she may not like. I know a couple of dresses that I thought I wouldnt like ended up being some on my tops list. This day is going to wear her out. She will be extremely exhausted once all of the fittings are over. I suggest going out to a nice relaxing lunch/dinner afterwards with not a lot of hype. Just something to relax and wind down from all of the hoop-la. She will be mentally drained as well (from trying to figure out whether or not she likes or doenst like).
Reply:If she gets tired from trying on dresses, stop, take a break and go and have lunch. Trying on too many dresses is confusing. Give her honest feedback but in a positive manner. And have fun!
Reply:I agree, if the stores will let you (and this policy varies by store), make sure that tons of pictures are taken.





Also, she's likely to be excited, so try to have a handle on things- make sure she's wearing a strapless bra before she leaves the house, maybe bring a pair of heels, if she wants, though this is less important since most of the dresses she tries on will be too long even with heels, unless she's very very tall. Bring a bottle or two of water - running around with big heavy dresses on can be dehydrating, and she'll be distracted enough that she may not notice. On another practical note, be ready to hold "bustles" at the back of her dress, to fix linings and make sure the dress is falling well for all of those pictures (assuming someone else is holding the camera).





Also, keep an eye on her - you are her best friend, and you know if something's wrong, so be a little watchful and be ready to make a suggestion or ask her how she's feeling if something seems off. I went to stores where sometimes I didn't 'click' with the salesperson very well, and I didn't really feel comfortable (enjoy) having her help me in and out of dresses. My bridesmaids picked up on this, and they stepped in (without actually saying anything) and soft of took over - which made that particular experience much nicer.





Going out for breakfast beforehand, or lunch or dessert after, with whoever is going shopping with you ladies, can also be a really great way to kick back a little and enjoy the day - instead of acting like you're on a mission. This is her first trip, she does not have to make any decisions today, so just have fun with her. Play.


I need help writing a letter to my child's teachers?

I need help writing a letter to my child's teachers about homework.

I need help writing a letter to my child's teachers?
I wrote a nasty letter to my child's teacher, assoc. principle, and counselor today


You know what


No one really cares.........................
Reply:Why don't you set up a meeting with them and talk face to face. Letter writing is a waste of time compared to what can be accomplished in a quarter of the time in face to face discussion. In addition, you are more likely to get your point across if you show that you care enough about it to come in person!





cheers!
Reply:You will get much futher with the teacher if you give her a call or email. Be kind and you will be treated the same way. Being nasty just makes the teacher or any other human being feel angry and disrespected. The Golden Rule should reign in this situation: "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you"
Reply:Just express your concerns and questions honestly. If you have too much trouble writing a letter, it would be best to go in yourself and talk to the teachers, so then you know that they understand.





What about the homework is it that is a problem?
Reply:write them and email, and express your concerns honestly, but do not be rude. say things like "I understand that..... but I was wandering why....." do not blame anything on anybody. If you offend the teacher, that's really bad. don't say anything that might suggest that they are a bad teacher.
Reply:Lack of homework? Too much? The subject? Whats the problem exactly?
Reply:What is the situation exactly?
Reply:just expreess your true feelings

How do you help someone that is thinking about committing suicide?

my boyfriend had his ex-girl friend ask him back ut and he said no thats cause he is with me so anyway she went and killed herself know he is saying that he made her do it and all this stuff and he is saying that he is going to commit suicide.

How do you help someone that is thinking about committing suicide?
Nobody can make somebody else commmit suicide. In the end, its their decision to make, and only theirs. You can start by telling your boyfriend how important he is in your life, his family's, and his friends. Life has the opportunity to get better, whereas death is forever and never changes. His ex-girlfriend might have had a lot of things going on in her life and in her head that had absolutely nothing to do with your boyfriend. She made a decision that only she could make, but that decision shouldn't pull other people down with her. Remind your boyfriend that he can't make everybody happy, and that he didn't want his ex to do anything drastic, so its not his fault. All you can do is comfort him and be there for him. Don't be so callous about his ex-girlfriend's death. Its a sad thing, and bound to affect him.
Reply:aaaw darling, i'm so sorry that this has happened to you and your boyfriend, it's just not fair....both of you must be going through so much pain and guilt, and you need some advice which can help you...i wish i could help, but i've never been in this position, so i strongly advise that you get some professional help, counselling, as soon as you can. both of you must be feeling so bad, you need to talk to people, other than each other. Please find someone to talk to, right away, maybe the samaritans to start with? you got everything to lose, so do something!
Reply:Go out with him and do things together and point out all the values of life. Take him to see a priest maybe or a minister. Just let him know there is reason to live.
Reply:what! that is sad,like my mum always tell me do not love with your whole heart leave room for disappointment.i hope this is a lesson to you.

THE TRUTH OF THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD (VIDEO)


http://api.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDe...








Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.


People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.


If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?


People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.


In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.


The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:





http://fs.harunyahya.net/popup/Download....





you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbeliefe," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.


So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.


We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.


They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.





Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)


(Qur’an, 13:28)





On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:


(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)


This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.


To read the stories of people who have converted to Islam, please visit





http://www.al-sunnah.com/stories.htm





At this web page, you can read the thoughts and feelings of these people, who are from different countries and have different backgrounds and levels of education.





In the Holy Quran, God (Allah) has said:





125. Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.


(Quran,6,125)

Why does the American flag represent freedom? I need supportng details! help, pleaseee?

I only need one more paragraph--freedom and i guess that should be the most obvious one, but it's not. So can someone help me out?

Why does the American flag represent freedom? I need supportng details! help, pleaseee?
It isn't the "stars and stripes" of our flag that makes it represent freedom--it could have been anything, and has been many things.





But for each flag we used, we stood for freedom. So when our flag was seen--no matter which flag--freedom fighters were somewhere nearby. After WW I and especially after WW II, who could argue that Americans meant freedom; and that our flag meant "America"?
Reply:The USA flag represents Freedom because of a well organized propaganda machine has exploited the minds of the masses who enjoy the luxury of lazy thinking.





Such a machine is necessary for those unwilling to read the Declaration of Independence, USA Constitution and its Bill of Rights, and reflect upon the essence in the spirit of Freedom so that it can be applied for the greater good of the government that is acoording to the USA Constitution is purported to be "OF, BY, %26amp; FOR THE PEOPLE.





Symbology is a basic and powerful tool that when employed properly can introduce or enhance a concept. If used for nefarious reasons in skilled hands it result in a well disguised tyrrany that operates like a thief in the night abscounding with the precious Liberty of those whom haphazzardly dared to neglect it.
Reply:It is the symbol of our democracy...the white represents purity and innocence, the red, hardiness and valor, the blue vigilance, perseverance and justice. The stars represent heaven and our divine goal...all together it is the essence of our freedom.
Reply:It represents freedom because some people say it does. That's all there is too it. There are no data which state that the proportion of stars to the degree of bars somehow translates to freedom.

Would you help me find the dimensions of this rectangle and square?

The combined area of a square and a rectangle is 32 sq in. The width of the rectangle is 2 in. more than the length of the square, and the length of the rectangle is 3 in. more than the rectangle's width. Find the dimensions of both.

Would you help me find the dimensions of this rectangle and square?
Let x equal the square's length.





x^2 + ((x+2)((x+2)+3)) = 32


x^2 + ((x+2)(x+5)) = 32


x^2 + (x^2 + 5x + 2x + 10) = 32


2x^2 + 7x + 10 = 32


2x^2 + 7x = 22


x = 2





Therefore the square is 2" by 2" and the rectangle is 4" by 7". 2 * 2 + 4 * 7 = 4 + 28 = 32 square inches.

Can someone help me understand what these two sentences mean?

Some people could be carried off by a team of angels and shown the cure for all human suffering and they would still look for drawbacks. For you, it would be better to be trusting of what is looking so right.

Not sure on the second one. Maybe trust things that sound true. In other words, trust the scenerio/facts that make logical sense?

How much do I not have to make to get help from FAFSA for college?

My daughter my princess wants to go to a private university. My husband is disabled with kidney disease and a recent kidney transplant. I work at a high school and make nothing. My child was denied FAFSA. Why?

How much do I not have to make to get help from FAFSA for college?
The amount of financial aid you get is based on your tax return. I would re-file/contact FAFSA and see what is wrong. You aren't really denied FAFSA, it is just a way to determine the amount of aid you are eligible for. Maybe you mis-read it and your EFC is 0? If so, that means you are not expected to pay anything towards college.


Is there any volunteer groups going to China to help out with the Earthquake disaster?

China is very capable of helping herself. 20 thousand troops have been deployed and 5 thousand airborn will be dropped into the isolated areas by tomorrow. The way they are handling the disiasters are much better than what U.S did during Katrina time. Due to bad weather and damaged roads, it is not a good idea to send untrained volunteers to China. All we need is to pray for them

Is there any volunteer groups going to China to help out with the Earthquake disaster?
oh i am sure they are but unless you belong to one those groups and have the special training you will not be going!!!


BLEEDING, HELP! What do I do, my toenail was pull up and it's bleeding, and hurts?

I was moving a sofa and I accidentlly hit my foot and my big toenail was pulled up and seperated from the toe, and it is only attached a little at one end. It is bleeding, hurts, and the nailbed is purple. What can I do to stop the bleeding? Do I have to remove the nail if so how do I do that? I put on some Neosporin spray and bandage? What else can I do to help it heal?

BLEEDING, HELP! What do I do, my toenail was pull up and it's bleeding, and hurts?
Cut the detached part of the nail off and throw it away. Put cold on your bloody toe and prop your foot up to stop the bleeding. Just think, you will grow a brand new beautiful toenail.
Reply:just put a bandaid on and keep it clean.That's all they do for that
Reply:Better cut the unattached portion with nail cutter. Then just wash it with soap and water. Do not put bandage for it will not dry. Let it be exposed and do not wear closed pair of shoes. Do not eat poultry products, beef, pork, fish, shrimps, crabs, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes and mangoes. Drink 10-15 glasses of water per day so as to help in the healing process.


Always be very extra careful. GOD BLESS THE CHILD.
Reply:Start by icing the heck out of that thing. I had the same thing happen only I got it ripped off by a door. I wouldn't try to pull anythng off while its still bleeding and hurting so much. Ice it, soak the blood, then after the bleeding stops, wash it you can stand the pain. Your not in a huge rush here, you can take it easy. bandage it up with neosporin and whatever is clean and works for you. In my experience, the rest of the nail came off after a few days on its own. Be careful later when you wear socks. The surface of where the nail was can get gooey and your sock can stick to it.
Reply:same thing happened to me.


i was moving the outside trash can %26amp;%26amp; it fell on my big toe.


so i removed the remaining toenail %26amp;%26amp; wrapped it up in whatever i could find.


i didnt put anything on it but it burned like hell!


i suggest putting ice on it to keep it cool.


it took about a year for my toenail to grow back.


now i have a toenail. :]

It is bleeding, hurts, and the nailbed is purple. What can I do to stop the bleeding? Do I have to remove the nail if so how do I do that? I put on some Neosporin spray and bandage? What else can I do to help it heal?

BLEEDING, HELP! What do I do, my toenail was pull up and it's bleeding, and hurts?
Cut the detached part of the nail off and throw it away. Put cold on your bloody toe and prop your foot up to stop the bleeding. Just think, you will grow a brand new beautiful toenail.
Reply:just put a bandaid on and keep it clean.That's all they do for that
Reply:Better cut the unattached portion with nail cutter. Then just wash it with soap and water. Do not put bandage for it will not dry. Let it be exposed and do not wear closed pair of shoes. Do not eat poultry products, beef, pork, fish, shrimps, crabs, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes and mangoes. Drink 10-15 glasses of water per day so as to help in the healing process.


Always be very extra careful. GOD BLESS THE CHILD.
Reply:Start by icing the heck out of that thing. I had the same thing happen only I got it ripped off by a door. I wouldn't try to pull anythng off while its still bleeding and hurting so much. Ice it, soak the blood, then after the bleeding stops, wash it you can stand the pain. Your not in a huge rush here, you can take it easy. bandage it up with neosporin and whatever is clean and works for you. In my experience, the rest of the nail came off after a few days on its own. Be careful later when you wear socks. The surface of where the nail was can get gooey and your sock can stick to it.
Reply:same thing happened to me.


i was moving the outside trash can %26amp;%26amp; it fell on my big toe.


so i removed the remaining toenail %26amp;%26amp; wrapped it up in whatever i could find.


i didnt put anything on it but it burned like hell!


i suggest putting ice on it to keep it cool.


it took about a year for my toenail to grow back.


now i have a toenail. :]


Need help with dodge durango.thinking bad gas is causing this chugging and transmission jerking?

i have taken it to the shop ,(never fixed),including,starter,nuetral safety switch.O2 sensor,replaced trans w mopar fluid,computer has been reset,but everytime i get gas at somewhere other than wal-mart or kroger it starts the problems again?help?

Need help with dodge durango.thinking bad gas is causing this chugging and transmission jerking?
you may be getting bad gas,these days stations buy it from the cheapest place they can,if its only doing it when you buy it at certain places its probably the gas,you might try adding some gas treatment to it the next time it does this and see if that helps it,if you have no cel light on it and it runs good on that brand of gas then it almost has to be the gas,i have noticed a difference in the gas here lately also,it seems certain brands do better than others,for me its raceway that does the best,try adding some gas treatment to it,that may help it,good luck.
Reply:try QT or do anyother kind of gas like unleaded or the highest price not diesel
Reply:Take the car to a local AutoZone they will test it free for yu, it sounds like a bad sensor to me

Should they raise the gas tax somewhat more to help conserve gas supplies?

That I think would be a more effective way of dealing with high gas prices than lowering the speed limit to 55.

Should they raise the gas tax somewhat more to help conserve gas supplies?
Mr. Talking Sense (first poster above) - is talking NON-sense.





We have all these environmental problems and he wants to encourage even more gas usage.





WOW !!!





===





I don't know exact what will help. But I know we all use less gas now then last year (due to higher prices). But the problem is complex so the solution is complex. It is not going to be just any one thing.





Just raising taxes (prices) will also slow down the economy.








Good Luck.
Reply:No, they should lower the taxes so WE can decide how WE want to spend OUR money.





We need more oil production, let them drill in ANWR and the gulf of Mexico (before Mexico pumps out all the oil).





The only way to solve the price of gas is to find more oil and we have plenty.





We don't need more government regulations. Stupid government regulations killed the sensible stationwagon and gave us the oversized SUV. We don't need government taxing us to get us to stop using gas, when it gets too expensive we will stop. When it gets too expensive it will become profitable for someone to come up with a better solution like the hydrogen cell.





Government manipulation always has unintended consequences like when we subsidised ethanol and now food prices are skyrocketing.





The free market will always work.

I have hired hoe workers in the past and Have way over 100 real referrals for you from companies that hire remotely.





In anwsering your question. Most of them are not real honestly and only the trained can refer you.





some of the real ones still do charge for your background checks. I know how to get you hired if you have a home computer and home phone and internet. It would still take you a few weeks for a real compny to hire you for true online work because just like real companies test you. remote ones do to even more extensively you need toget certified for top money you can do that for free I can tell you where too.. Some online testing centers save your scores and offer certificates to email the emplyers. Applications ask are you certified if you are looking for Admin or IT etc., Its simple if you know the ropes many dont. So they are left in the cost to become frustrated and ripped of. For anything worthwhile there will be at least a small investment involved sometimes. Never pay over $25- $30 for information or background checks. red flag anything under $25.00 is to cheap anything over $30 maybe too much .

Hay fever question : where do I get local honey from in London to help ease my symptoms?

Hi, I hear that eating local honey is meant to help alleviate hay fever. I am guessing that I can't just buy any old honey from Tesco! I need to get some locally produced honey, that is not too processed. But where can I buy this stuff if I live in London (few farmer's markets around here)?





thx

Reply:I heard that the benefit of eating local honey is a wives tale. If there was a benefit, it would be in eating local honey as opposed to "remote" honey. The chance of finding local honey is very low. If you think honey is the culprit, try eating no honey at all.

Good ways to help me remember to take my birth control?

I set an alarm on my phone, and if i'm out at the time it goes off, i just cancel it, and make a mental note to take it later, which i often forget.





I also don't always sleep at home, so having it by my bed doesn't really suit me, and i don't want to have to carry it around with me?


Anyone have any good ideas?

Good ways to help me remember to take my birth control?
Well, I carry mine in my purse which I hate to do, but it's the only way I'm going to be able to take it everyday when I need to. I can't really think of any other ways for you to remember. Is there any time of day at all that you're ALWAYS home? Maybe the morning? Lunchtime? Maybe you run home just to check your mail? Anything? If you know there's a time you will definitely be there everyday, just leave the pills next to the fridge or where you put your keys. I hope that helps!
Reply:I always carry mine in the zipper part of my purse with tampons and all that. I also have an alarm set on my phone, but I had the same issue that you did with being out and attempting to remind myself to take it later. I set another alarm on my phone for like an hour and a half or two hours later and now I never forget.





Try that.

What kind of things/activities should I do IN college to help me get into grad school or get a job later?

I will be going for business admin with a focus in finance. I am going to try to do an internship each summer to get experience, and I am going to possibly minor in Spanish to make myself more employable, but what else can I do? I was thinking about joining a sorority or something. Any advice would be great.

What kind of things/activities should I do IN college to help me get into grad school or get a job later?
You're definitely on the right track! The best things to do, aside from those interships would be to get involved in campus - especially in related fields. Most colleges have many organizations you can get involved in, business club, finance club, greek/honors societies for students in business/finance with exceptional GPAs. Even outside of that though, join other clubs that interest you! Spanish club, a sorority (I love mine!), Campus Activities board, or whatever, they all look goode on your resume. And every club is required to have a treasurer! Join freshman year especially, and work towards getting treasurer positions in some of these (though it's a BIG job, which is why it looks so good to employers).





Especially try for positions with business/finance groups, campus activities board (and if your college is like mine, that's not only a big, important position, it also is a paying position), and a sorority (deals with a lot of money) if you find one you want to join. And if not treasurer, fundraising chairs would look good on your resume too.





Other than campus involvement, keep in contact with advisors and professors in your college (even if you are put into the non-specific college to begin with) so you can glean some of their wisdom. And, one idea you could always play around with - is starting your own business. Even a small time button making business, or something on a bigger scale, shows a lot of initiative - and experience - on all those applications. They would definitely make you stand out.





Good luck! :)

Me and my friend will start a research about proving that viruses are living organism and i need some help?

1- Will we need any tool , what are the names and all the details about it.





2- Where to start the research ?





3- Any other peice of advice

Me and my friend will start a research about proving that viruses are living organism and i need some help?
i can't see how you can manage conclude something that brilliant scientists have disagreed upon.
Reply:get a textbook and look up the seven signs of life





compare the known properties of a virus to those seven signs





you will find that viruses are not alive!
Reply:OK, existing dogma says that viruses lack the necessary biological organelles and biochemistry to be classified as living systems. You first need a hypothesis (a testable idea) that supports your argument that viruses are indeed misclassified. Start with the premise that all life originates from other life. What is the origin and evolution of viruses, the different kinds of viruses?





We know that viruses can carry the primary molecular components of all living systems, RNA and DNA, and an array of genes, enzymes, and proteins necessary to make use of their genetic information. How did these genes necessary to support viruse structure and activity come about? What was their origin and evolution. Consider researching "Jumping Genes" and "Bacterial Phage".





It may be that viruses played a "lateral" role in the evolution of species and of life diversity. Life comes from life. Viruses are very much smaller than normal somatic cells, but there are a type of bacteria cell that approach the size of viruses---microplasma--- .... See: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma





I have seen articles on diploid somatic cells not much larger than mycoplasma.





So, your approach (hypothesis) is that if life comes from life, then viruses came from life. If that is true, viruses are alive. If it isn't true, then life doesn't always come from life. It may be that we need to redefine just what life is in a far broader sense.





This might get you started in the right direction. Good luck with your idea to overturn scientific dogma and throw new light upon the nature of life.
Reply:sorry- viruses don't meet the definition of life; they have no metabolism and can't replicate/reproduce unless they are in a host cell. They are basically a chemical parasite.
Reply:u cant prove its a living organism, it lacks so many of the main features that living organisms have

How does keeping your elbows up help in a motocross race?

A bunch pf people have beenn telling me to keep your elbows up when racing but what benifit does it have. will it help me?

How does keeping your elbows up help in a motocross race?
It is one of the most important things to learn while racing...Not only do you have more control from side to side but it also lets you get into attack position..Always" Always...Make sure when going into a corner that your outside elbow is up.and weight the outside foot peg...
Reply:It's called the "attack position" and it is very important. My motocross instructor, Gary Bailey, is fanatical about this. He will some times pop you in the arm with a big stick as you round a corner if your elbows are not in the correct position. Always remember, elbows up and chin over the bars.
Reply:Truthfully it only helps when doing a rythem section or the "whoops" because you get more control but if your on a jump i wouldnt advise it, only because you pulll it up to high and you head would be too far close to the handle bars giving you an easier access to go over them. I would advise keeping your arms loose and not tense, also keeping your elbows up makes it easier to dislocate your shoulders.
Reply:Get a copy of Gary Baileys book on how to ride MX. It explains that and many more tips. T-pod.
Reply:Having your elbows up gives you more strength and control over the bike as you are over the bars.





If you were push starting a car you would never have any power to do so if you pushed front on with your elbows down and the same applies with having them down on a bike. You have less power.





Have a look at a site www.motocross-racing-tips.com as this mentions keeping elbows up a few times and www.motocrossaction.com also has an article called leading with your face that talks about riding with elbows up
Reply:the benefit is that if ure elbows are up then your arms go with the suspension and you have more control. its hard to explain what i mean but if u leave ure elbows low then theres more strain on ure forearms and wrists although carmicheal and villipoto dont really keep there elbows up and there to of the best in the world so if ure find it dosent suit you just carry on how you are. one thing though is if you can get the techniques and body positioning right then add the speed you will end up beinga better rider


Help! How long before an empolyer can ask for a sick note?

I have been off work for four days.


My employer has asked for a sick note, but im a bit reluctant to get one as im going in the army and i do not want it to hinder my chances!


How long is it, that can i can self-certificate?

Help! How long before an empolyer can ask for a sick note?
Essentially it depends on your company's policy but the minimum is a week.





From NHS web site.......





2nd paragraph is the clincher.......





Whether or not you need a sickness certificate from your doctor depends on your company policy. This should tell you how long you are able to be off sick for before you need a doctor's note. For more information ask your supervisor or speak to someone from Human Resources.





Employers cannot ask for a doctor's certificate for the first seven days of a spell of sickness though they can ask you to notify them on your first day of absence.





When you return to work after being ill, you usually have to fill in a form saying how long you were off sick for and why. This is called a self-certification or SC2 form. If your place of work does not have any of these forms, you may be able to get one from your GP surgery or from your nearest Revenue and Customs (Tax) office. You can also download a form from the Revenue and Customs website (see the 'further information' section).





If you are off sick for more than a certain length of time (usually seven days), you will need to get a sick note from your GP.





To get a sick note you will have to make an appointment with your GP. In some cases you may have to pay for the certificate. Your GP practice will be able to advise you of their charges.
Reply:Your employer can ask for a "sick note" whenever they want. If you mean "Doctor's Note" they they can require you to get one if they want it. If you work for a large company check your employee manual. Small companies usually don't have one. If they have it in the manual that they can ask for a sick note after X# of days then you will know the answer.





Small companies don't ask for a note unless they think you are abusing their good nature, and want a reason to fire you.





Don't be reluctant because of anything you are afraid the army is going to be concerned about, they will send you for a physical exam and if you pass they will not care about your having been sick 3 or 4 days. They might be concerned if you have your employer down as a reference and they call and find out you were off "sick" lots of the time, because it will look like you use sick time off to get time from work when you are not sick. If you are really sick a lot, they will find out in the physical exam, and not accept you.





Good Luck
Reply:There is no law on this. This would be whatever the company policy is. It is normally three days and then a note might be required to return to work and/or excuse the absences. Without providing it, your company can most likely:


1. Not allow you to return to work until you provide it


2. Administer disciplinary action


3. Terminate your employment for cause (in which you will not qualify for unemployment benefits)
Reply:If you are in the UK then you can self-certificate for the first 5 working days. If you are absent with something that is gone within this time then it really won't worry the army. If you are going to be off work for longer then surely you have been to your Dr anyway which means the army will probably find out through your medical records. No sense upsetting your current employer over something and nothing.





An employer of mine once asked for a sick note from the first day of absense. My GP refused to give me one because I only needed to be off for 5 days and could self-certificate.
Reply:you have seven days under statute law. thereafter you must produce a sick note. The employer has to know who he can rely on so he may want you to get a sick note. He may think if you are genuine you dont have a problem with getting one. I would see my doctor in any case just to show i am not skiving. The fact you are joining the Army is not in the knowledge of your current employer is it.?


Any body can get gastric sickness. at least the army will see you are genuine. any way they need recruits so a bit of sick time wont bar you from joining.
Reply:I feel sorry for your boss. If you are going into the army then why not just do it and don't sit around taking money for being "sick" like 90% of the "sickies" do in the UK when there is nothing wrong with them except laziness.





Sorry you were truly ill - it's rare in the UK so I guess you are an American.
Reply:get a fake sick note from http://www.doctorsnotestore.com - they sell sick certs that are identical to those given out by private or NHS doctors in the UK, I used them before. Some websites in the USA sell dowloadable printable ones, in my experience these are not good enough for the UK
Reply:5 working days is self certification, over that you will need a sick note from your GP
Reply:7 days before you need a sick note, self-cert for this length of time. Good luck in the army!!!
Reply:In the US, he can ask on day one. Being ill won't keep you from the army





Self certificate? right.
Reply:There's not statute - they could ask for one for every absence.
Reply:A self cert covers you for 7 days.





The Army won't refuse you for throwing a sickie!

Reply:Not more than two days on avg. but being sick won't keep you from joining the army. As long as that's the only problem.

Why do we really not help victims of natural disasters?

A not very nice question, but something that has been preying on my conscience.





I am not talking about the odd donation here and there. I donate but I am sure I could donate more by sacrificing my car, buy cheaper/ less food, not go out, not buy clothes, or gifts etc. So why don't I? Why do we carry on as if nothing has happened on the other side of the world where there are people trapped in earthquakes and cyclones?





Aplogies to those who have been offened by my question and those who who really are not in the position to give.

Why do we really not help victims of natural disasters?
Lack of empathy, an unconscious (or conscious) feeling of superiority and entitlement toward people in developing nations, but mostly...laziness.





Why else do you think sloth is included in the seven deadly sins?
Reply:We aren't really constantly reminded of what happened. Sure, we hear it on the news every morning.





But then we have to go to work, or to school, or wherever else. And other, more present, issues take up our time and push that issue out.





My guess would be when you donate, its generally right after one of the news channels told you where; and you did it immediately. Most people do it that way, because the issue is fresh in their minds right then and they do feel bad.





But we do have our own lives to live as well. If we dwelt on every bad thing that went down in the world, we'd never stop being depressed. If people dwelt on it all the time, we'd probably all be suicidal. There are just too many bad things in this world.





Kind of the reason for religion. It is to provide a hope for the future and a reason to fight for today. Too bad really that it has been used instead to grow the power of the few at the expense of the many.
Reply:Doesn't directly effect you and it's happening so far away that you don't want to put in the effort to help.
Reply:i think awful as it is you have to keep it in perspective there is no point in making yourself destitute and being over whelmed, my theory is it is better to give something than nothing, i am not going to tie myself in knots and realistically i cant help everyone. It sounds like you already give to me that is enough. and it certainly is not an offensive question :)
Reply:I know where you are coming from - I feel just the same BUT if you put yourself out of pocket by donating then its you then who is worse off. I dont donate simple because i cannot afford to - in my own words "at the moment charity begins at home". If i can only afford to buy cheap products for myself and my family, I cant afford to donate aid that might not even reach its destination.





I dont have anything I cant afford and that includes donations. If and when I have the money I will consider donating.
Reply:Is it not a simple case of me first and others second.

Where could I find help to pay off debt that is in collections?

I have about 2,000.00 worth of debt that is in collections. How do I go about cleaning this mess up and getting it off of my credit report?

Where could I find help to pay off debt that is in collections?
Talk to them and set up a payment plan. Make your payments every month until it's completely paid off.
Reply:What kind of debt?


Credit cards? Loans?





you'll want to pay on secured debt first and foremost before unsecured-- meaning youll want to pay auto loans and mortgages before credit cards-- they can take your vehicle/house away from you first, credit card companies dont have any collateral.





2nd, if it's mainly credit card debt, talk to CCCS- They will be able to get you on a payment plan to get you out of debt.





If the reason you're running late on your bills is due to something unexpected (like a death in the family, natural disaster, medical bills, loss of income {while collecting unemployment}) you may qualify for a month deferment on any loans. Just call and talk to the agency, most are more than willing to help you.
Reply:First of all, your choice of action would depend on the type of debt and the age of the debt. If these are old debts that are "time barred" from legal action, then only time will get them removed from your credit report.


If they are newer debts then your best bet would be to either negotiate for a settlement with them or work out a payment plan. REMEMBER this, if you make any arrangements or payments, then you have re-set the statute of limitations in your state for taking legal action against you. If they agree to settle for less, GET IT IN WRITING first before payment is made!!





Or, you might consider credit counseling, you can get it from various firms that are recommended by the FTC (many of those not-for=profit outfits just take your money and don't really help.

You don’t say what type of debt it is; you don’t say who is doing the collecting and you give no information about your personal resources or other financial situation.





It is hard to answer your question in such a vacuum.





However, just because someone is trying to collect a “debt” is not good enough reason to pay it, unless you know a few things.





1. Do you know the collector? By that I mean, is it the original creditor or is it a collection agency? It makes a difference. You need to be certain that, if you pay the collector, the obligation will actually be satisfied.





2. Does the collector have proof of the debt?





a. Whether it is the original creditor or a collection agency, it is important that they have the ability to prove that you actually owe them something and how much you owe.





b. If a collection agency that is attempting to collect the debt, they also have to prove that the obligation has been assigned to them.





c. Collection agencies also have to prove that they have the legal right to collect it in your state.





You have the right to require them to validate their claim.





Talking to the collector is generally not a good idea. You permit them to create a “record” of the conversation, based on the notes they take of the conversations you have.





Those conversations are almost never recorded. Consequently, their version of what was said becomes the “official” business record. Since it is a record they keep in the ordinary course of business, it may become admissible in court (if it goes that far) and it won’t matter what you say actually happened, their record will paint the picture.





You don’t want to give them the paints and the brush and let them paint whatever picture they want.





Your best bet in dealing with collectors, is to insist that everything be done in writing. The writing then creates a record of what actually occurred. You get to paint too.





The amount in question, $2,000, is not a lot of money (although it may seem like a lot at the moment). Most original creditors won’t actually take you to court over that amount. It costs them too much in time and legal fees to do that. They usually sell their claim to a collection agency.





Most collection agencies will call and harass you and make you feel guilty for not paying the debt. Some will threaten you with all sorts of horrible consequences, if you don’t pay up. There are actually severe penalties against COLLECTION AGENCIES for engaging in certain harsh collection practices under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a Federal law.





That is another reason why requiring them to put everything in writing is important.





Over the phone, where it is your word against their official “business record”, they might overstep the bounds of what they can legally do. They will stick to the law if they have to put everything in writing.





Ordinarily collection agencies purchase the claims they are collecting for pennies on the dollar. So while you may have had a $2,000 obligation, the collection agency may have $50 invested in the claim.





They may be trying to collect the entire amount (or even more, if they are adding a “collection fee” to the claim), but the truth is, they really do not want to invest too much time and effort into collecting the debt.





Also, because they buy these claims in bulk and so little is involved financially on a per claim basis, it is not at all unusual for them to be collecting claims they do not have a formal assignment transferring the obligation to them. (In other words, they frequently are not able to “validate” their claim.)





If you properly demand that they validate the claim and they are not able to do it, they are legally required to stop collection activities and remove their collection from your credit report.





Also, if the claim was assigned to them, the original creditor has charged it off and moved on. It will not want to go through the effort of documenting a claim it no longer has an economic interest in collecting. Chances are, even if the collection agency asks for the proper documentation, the original creditor will not provide it.





In a nutshell, what this means to you is that, if you are dealing with a collection agency, you should be able to settle for far less than the $2,000 they claim you owe, if you choose to settle at all.





Since the obligation and the late payments are on your credit report already (as would be both the “assignment for collection” and the collection itself), you will need to make sure your credit report is cleaned up.





According to the Federal Trade Commission, you should be able to do remove derogatory items yourself.





However, it is not as easy as it sounds. You may want the help of a reputable credit restoration service. Some of them have excellent track records and have been able to remove, not only collections, but inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, repossessions, judgments, foreclosures, bankruptcies, student loans, child support, tax liens and more.

Good luck!

How much did an electric guitar cost from around 1930-1950 HELP?

This is for a report, so please leave date answered, name, and PLEASE, NO JOKE ANSWERS OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED!!! Thank you!

How much did an electric guitar cost from around 1930-1950 HELP?
They didn't cost anything because there WERE NO ELECTRIC GUITARS in the 1930 to 1950 era. Les Paul invented them and he didn't build his first one until the mid 1950's.


Juice Diet: what is the best freshly squeezed juice to help me with losing a little extra fat?

I am trying a juice diet in August, I eat other things , too, of course, but I watch what I eat and I drink a lot of different juice: apple, orange, grapefruit, pear, rhubarb etc.





I heard grapefruit and its seeds can be helpful while dieting.


- Is that true?


- What do you know?





THANK YOU ALL.

Juice Diet: what is the best freshly squeezed juice to help me with losing a little extra fat?
Hi there- Juice isnt all good for you. Some fruits contain a high level of sugar beleive it or not.. Now fruit is definetly better then choclotates and cookies. Here is my recommendatiosn for you- dont do a one type diet- have a healthy approach. But not all fruits are good for you when you are on a diet, believe it or not, grapes, watermelon have high sugar percentage; Banana are a solid carbohydrates- you have to be careful, You have to get online and research fruit, veggies etc... I recommend that you get up inthe morning, boil some water, squeez a lemon in it and drink it- do this for six weeks straight, it will do wonders- it will clean you up, your skin is gonna look great too! Next=- try to avoid starchy food, and fried food, opt up because it is summer to eat grilled meats and vegggies- lean meats.. PLus its all about moderation and portion control. Another hint: take your hands and make a fist- this should be your portion sizes in regards to meats/chicken as well, your rice service shouldnt be bigger then a medium sized light bulbs, be careful whats inside food. You can still get great food and filling food. Oh- As well, Lettuce, cucumbers and those empty fillers are great way to curb your hunger. Oh- by the way- drink plenty of water- the more you pee, the clearer the pee, the better..
