17 yr old son dating 30 yr old woman?
My 17 yr old has been dating a 30 yr old woman. He's been lying about it to us, but we heard from a friend and confronted him with it and he admitted it was true. We made it clear that this was not an appropriate relationship and it would stop. He'll be 18 later this year and has asked us to give him permission to marry her, which we've denied. Once he is 18 of course, he can do what he wants. We've made it clear we will not pay for college if he is to get married as well.
We are at a loss as to what to do. He isn't supposed to be seeing her anymore. We've also not grounded him as I don't want to push him any closer to her.
The relationship was sexual and it's a statutory offense, but I'd rather not get the police involved.
Any real advice anyone can offer? He's a straight A student and has been accepted into a top university already. But I am afraid this could really hurt his life.
2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships8 years agoProblem ejaculating during sex, but not masterbation?
I am having a problem ejaculating during sex, but do not seem to have an issue when masterbating. I am almost 40 and have been married for about 15 yrs. I am able to maintain an erection during sex, although the hardness varies and isn't consistent, but consistent enough that it doesn't interfere with intercourse. I don't think its an issue that I need viagra or something like that as erection doesn't seem to be the issue. I've gone for a long time, long enough that my wife tires out and we stop before I've ejaculated and it also frustrates her. Any ideas?

I downloaded the new IOS for my Iphone 4s and set the Do Not Disturb function up to come on at 9 pm and go off at 7:30 am. I see the moon symbol on the screen so it shows the DND is on, and I have set 3 numbers as favorites, but the favorites are still not ringing through. I missed a call the other night from a favorite, didn't ring, didn't light up the screen, nothing.
Am I missing something?

I put a new battery in today and hooked up a hose to the jetski and it fired right up. I let it run a little while and am planning on taking it out on a lake to run it later today. Should I drain the gas that is in it or leave it and top it off with new gas?
2 AnswersBoats & Boating9 years agoCan't get pool pump to prime?
I was swimming today and the pump was running. I turned it off to change the filter cartridge, cleaned it, put it back in, maybe 15 or so minutes from the time I turned it off to turning it back on. I could not get a prime. This is typical when a little time goes by. I put the water house in the basket area of the pump, let it run a bit. Put the lid, and o ring back in, turned it on. Water initially came out of the pipe area, but then stopped. Repeated this several times, same result. Occasionally no water would come out though. I tried turning the valve so that only the top line was coming in, then the bottom, same results. I also ran the water hose in the pipe and checked the line at the pool and could feel water coming through. I can't figure out why I can't get the prime. I took the cartridge out as well, trying it that way. Same result.
Pool is inground. Any help would be appreciated.

1 AnswerPlayStation10 years agoMy XBOX 360 freezes on certain games, but not others?
I bought a new XBOX game yesterday....NCAA Foot ball 2010. Played one full game, then the game started to pause during plays and eventually froze. Turned it off, did the same thing again. Took the game back to gamestop, they exchanged it....brought the new one home, same thing. My son then played Call of Duty and had no issues.
Later on I tried to play a Madden Football game I've already owned and never had issues with. Same thing happened. Froze up.
Any suggestions? None of this is happening on XBOX live, its on regular 2 player games.

2 AnswersSkin Conditions10 years agoWhen do used car prices drop?
I am considering buying a used car. My question is when do Used Year Model prices drop? For instance, if a 2006 is $15000 now, will it drop at the beginning of the year with 2010 models becoming more available on the used market? Or does the price hold steady. Basically, when is the best time of the year to buy a used car?
6 AnswersBuying & Selling1 decade agoMy wii won't connect to the internet?
I use my Wii to watch Netflix. Recently, when I put the netflix disc in, I get an error message that says it can't connect to the internet. I go to the internet settings and one of 2 things has happened:
1) I run a connection test and it says I am connected.
2) I run a connection test and it says I am not connected, so I have deleted the internet settings and inputted them again. Then I get a positive internet connection.
In both cases, when I go back to try and enter the Netflix area, I get the same error message saying I don't have an internet connection. Any suggestions?

3 AnswersTiVO & DVRs1 decade agoNeed help with potty training my daughter?
She will be 3 next month. She has done very well with the urination part of potty training. She's been going for several months on her own, takes naps in panties and only wears a pull up at night. Most mornings, the pull up is dry.
Our issue is getting her to go #2. She has gone a handful lof times, but no consistency. Most of the time, she goes in her panties and tells us after. We recognize the signs of when she has to go, and will put her on the potty, read to her, encourage her, but she won't go.
Any suggestions?
2 AnswersToddler & Preschooler1 decade agoPool pump not staying primed?
My pool pump is not staying primed. I noticed yesterday when it came on, there was bubbling in the pool. I turned it completely off as I had to get to an appt. Today, I filled the filter area on the pump with water, put the lid back on and started the pump. Water started flowing and I bled the line to get rid of the excess air.
I let it run for about an hour and decided to turn it off and come back later to see if it kept the water. As soon as I turned it off, the water quickly left the filter area and the pump no longer as primed.
Any idea as to what is causing this and a solution? It worked fine a few days ago?!?
7 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade ago1975 Corvette shuts off after running for about 2 hours.?
My 75 Corvette shut off today after running for about 2 hours. Fluid levels were all good, it wasn't overheating. I pulled off the side of the road and sat for about 5 minutes, tried to crank it and it started after turning over a couple of times.
I stopped and checked everything again, spent about 20 mins. Drove about 40 more miles and it did the same. Its like its sputters and shuts off. It did this off and on for the next 2 hours. I made it to my destination. It runs and sounds fine other than the sputtering and shutting off. Wait a few minutes and it cranks back up.
Any idea what this could be? I have about a 6 hour drive back home in a few days, can I drive it home and deal with my local mechanic or does it need to be looked at immediately?

My son just got a new laptop and the wireless signal is low in his room. On his old laptop, and on my laptop, the signal is fine. He also has to go to another room to connect to the wireless and then can go back to his room.
Why would the signal only be showing as low on the new laptop? Any suggestions? The wireless router is in the center of the house already and I'd like to leave it there.
