I am in so much pain right now, but I have no one to confide in. This other girl (lets call her M2) had seen me at my lowest points several times. I dated this other girl (M2) for 5 years and I broke up with her. We were also friends for a long time, but the relationship turned toxic after a while and it needed to end. After eight months or so, I started seeing this woman ( lets call her M1) that I genuinely connected with on a different level. The problem is that she is seven years older than I am, and she can t get over the age gap. I understand what she is saying, but the pain is still excruciating. I feel like its rude of me to go to M2 seeking friendship and a shoulder to lean on in this situation. Im not looking for a relationship with M2. I just need someone to talk to about what I m going through now. Is that wrong of me?

There is a girl at the gym that i find attractive, but i don't want to bug her. So if she happens to be at the gym at the same time I am, I try to just stay focused on what I'm doing to not seem like a creep. the thing is that when i cave in and happen to look at her (once or twice at most ), she was already looking at me so we make direct eye contact for a few seconds but thats it. No smile, no reaction, neither positive or negative, from her at all really. One of us just breaks eye contact eventually. I just see her look every so often and its gotten to the point where I really want to just meet her and find out, but I don't know how to approach her. I don't really like to be disturbed when I'm at the gym, so I try and assume the same about everyone else, but we rarely end up there at the same time. So what could I do? I get that some people say the gym is not a place to meet people, but it honestly seems like people say that about every location or social event now, so I don't want to hear it. Thanks in advance for any help you could offer.

I've had a a soft bump on my head since birth. It's a about an inch and a half higher than where my temple is located but it's on the back of my head. It's never really been an issue. I've been healthy all my life, it's never been painful. For the most part I forget it's even there unless I touch it or lay on a hard surface. Yesterday I noticed that it is a little tender at the tip of bump. It worried me so I asked my mother what the doctors told her initially and she said that they had to rupture the sac I was in during my birth and that they may have cut me a little and that is the reason why it is swollen. At all of the pediatric physicals, they would check it and say the same thing, that it was nothing to worry about and that there is no reason to remove it. It's a little alarming that it is tender. Like I said I'm 21 years old now and I've had it since birth. Is there anyone else that has something like this? Any ideas as to what it might be?

I purchased a discontinued distortion pedal off eBay and paid immediately after the sale was completed. The seller sent me an email thanking me for the speedy payment, but in so many words said that he will not send the item until I pay a 9% sales tax of $12.78 for "taxes/shipping/eBay/paypal fees". The seller does not have his tax license number listed anywhere, lives in another state, and i really doubt he has a store in my state. It is never stated that I agreed to pay this tax by purchasing the item, but apparently it was in the description, so did i technically agree to this "tax"? I don't know how to handle the situation without turning this whole deal into a mess. would i be in the wrong for pointing out that he cannot collect this "tax" and that is a crime to do so? as it stand, i do not have my $142, my item has not been shipped, and more money is being requested. What do i do?

This is what I think I know:

(I will need the turntable, a pre-amp if the turntable does not have one built in, a receiver and active speakers.)

I am looking at a Pro-ject rpm 1.3 genie ( http://www.project-audio.com/main.php?prod=rpm13&c...

What brand makes good pre-amps, are there any specific types of pre-amps, what makes a good pre-amp. What is the difference between tube amps and solid state, which is better

what exactly is a receiver? what are the better brands?

what are some good active speakers. I listen to a lot of rock if that makes a difference when it comes to speakers.

I want to buy a blazer off of a website, but it is priced in lira (I'm not sure if I phrased that correctly). Could I just complete the order the way I normally would or is there some sort of process that I have to go through? Is it something the receiving party would take care of on their own?

I currently have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It's a good phone but it just has too many little bugs that samsung needs to clean up. I've noticed it in my girlfriends s3 too. the build quality isnt too good either. I babied my note 2 since the day I got. It has never touched the ground, never been bumped, scratched, bent or been through any abuse, but somehow the plastic back cover got some weird cracks. You cant really feel them or see them, but I know they are there. they're almost like pressure cracks. it just looks like a spider on the back of my phone but its barely visible. I took it to the att store and they told me that it's normal wear and tear (girlfriend and best friend having same problem). I like the phone but I dont at the same time. is there a way I can trade in my phone at the att store for another phone? maybe put some cash up along with the trade in? I've had the iphone plenty of times and I really like the feel of a solid phone. I like the weight and the organization. Has anyone done this before? did you have to hassel them about it?

ok so her brother accidentally took his night medication twice, but spaced few hours apart. His and her mother was obviously a little concerned but more upset at her husband for not being a little more responsible. He took seroquel twice in the same night. its just a pill to make him sleep at night because he is very hyper and has downs syndrome. Her father called poison control, explained the situation, and as I expected, poison control informed her father that their son did not take a leathal dose and that he would only become a little drowsy. They also mentioned that since the doses were spaced out by several hours that he may not even feel any effects. My girlfriends mother explained this to her several times during the phone call but she was adamant about taking her brother to the ER. She calmed down after the call to poison control. An hour or so later her father walks into her room to make a little remark about a bet we both have going so she decides to ask how her brother was doing. Her father informed her that he was doing fine and that he was even yelling along side him at the basketball game they were watching. Remembering how badly she had reacted to the initial news, I said "see?, I dont know why you were so worried." She immediately raised her voice going on about me saying that she is stupid and that she shouldnt care about her brother and that I dont care about anything. I asked to her to keep her voice down because it maked me feel uncomfortable when her parents know about our arguments or anything like that, because then it almost seems like they already have opinions formed about subjects they don't fully understand. I explained to her that I did not mean that she shouldnt care about her brother and that I was in no way calling her stupid.

Now to explain how I meant it, I am going to go on a bit of a tangent... Whenever you or a friend or family member are going through something that is stressing you or them out, your not thinking clearly, your automatically assuming the absolute worst, and no matter how much people try to calm you down or put things in a different light, you wont let go of the bad thoughts. You get passed the ordeal and come out on the other side without a scratch and finally relax. Whoever was trying to comfort you or counsel you might say somthing like "see? that wasn't so bad right?" or something along those lines. In no way is that person calling you stupid or saying that your emotions were completely irrational. The statement can almost be seen as words of comfort. It's just of way of making someone look back at an experience to see how they reacted and possibly chuckle a little at they memory. That is exactly how I meant it. now back to the story...

While she is yelling at me, I can't help but sit there in disbelief at how she was taking the statement, and apparently it showed on my face. Again, I never thought she was stupid or anything of that nature, I was just shocked at the situation. I was literally speechless. She ends up yelling over and over for me to get out of her house. she followed me to the door and pushed me in full view of her father. I exit her home and she follows me and starts yelling at me outside saying that she was tired of the face I was making (the disbelief face) and started to act like she was swinging at my face. I took a few steps back and tried explaining everything once more but she stuck to her guns. she pushed me once more and kept yelling. At this point I was finally mad that she actually got physical with me and that her parents now had a horrible idea of me. Conveniently, her neighbors were right outside watching me walk away. Her parents talk to all of their neighbors so I know this will eventually be talked about between them eventually. And I know it will because she used to tell me that whenever her exes used to argue with her, her neighbors always asked or mentioned something to her parents.

So now I am angry because there is a very awkward feeling floating around her house. She made it seem like no should care about her brother and that I thought they were all stupid. I honestly dont see a way to smooth things over with her family. It makes me mad that she would even take what I said in such a wrong way considering that she was my best friend for 5 years and we have been dating for almost two years. And what makes it even worse is that I actually had a relationship with her family. I would always joke around with her parents, I've baby sat her brother, I've watched their house while they were out of town, I've gone on vacation with her and her family and we were literally about to go on another one in three weeks. everything just seems ruined. So who was wrong?

I got him or her on sunday. The first two days he ate anything that went in his viv. Including his vegetables which actually surprised me. Yesterday he ate a few crickets in the morning but he didn't eat any in the evening so I offered him 2 wax worms to get him going. He just stared at the worms and stayed on his rock. This morning I tried giving him more crickets and still nothing. I made sure that he was awake and basking for at least an hour. When he finally started moving around he was more interested in his reflection than his food. Is this normal for a baby. Its my first one. He has everything he needs in his viv. He has his basking spot at 104 - 109, he seems to like it a little cooler. I had a taller rock in his tank but he mainly stayed halfway up in the 105 temps. He has his uvb light, reptisun 10.0 he has a temperature gradient from 95 to 79. I dust his crickets in rep cal calcium and multi vitamin. I have an exo terra ultra fine calium with d3 that I plan on giving him once a week. He has fresh vegetables everyday. I give him romane lettuce and squash. He has never had mealworms in my care. He regulates his temperature with his mouth open frequently, and from what I've read, that is what they do when they are at their desired temp ( correct me if I'm wrong) he has been eating 1/2 inch crickets and smaller. They're smaller than the space between his eyes. Ive been wanting to bath him but I want to wait until he gets used to his new home which is a 29 gallon tank. He will get a bigger one as he grows. He has reptile carpet for his substrate. Am I missing something that's making him not eat?

I just got a notice that I was placed on financial aid suspension. I'm not blaming anyone but myself but I was never even placed on financial aid probation. Im not sure if this is a mistake or not. I wouldn't be surprised if it was. They made me miss an entire semester because they messed up all my paper work multiple times. It literally took them 7 months for them to get the entire situation sorted out. After they awarded me the financial aid, they told me that I couldn't use it because it was awarded to the wrong school code. Since I needed the financial aid to pay for school, I was not able to enroll as a full time student. I could only afford three courses and that was by making payments. The Fafsa department finally got me reimbursed several weeks into the semester. I did very well in all of my classes, but I was completely stumped on an assignment I had in my art appreciation class. That one assignment is what caused me to flunk the course. I aced the other two classes. I knew that failing one of my three courses was going to have major impact on my GPA, so I spoke with the staff at the fafsa department several times and they assured me that I would only be placed on financial aid probation. I spoke with several counselors and the told me the same thing. They told me that since it was only my first semester in school that I would be fine since they didnt have any records to go off of. So Im not sure what to do. I know that the fafsa department would just shrug their shoulders and tell me to appeal, but I dont think that I'll stand much of chance by saying that I ****** up... I know that if this is a mistake, it will not be taken care of in time for my fall semester to begin since the fafsa department at my school doesn't seem to like doing paper work. Im still going to save money and try and take as many courses as I can but if there is anything I can do to get this straightened out please let me know. And if I cannot do anything about this situation, how long will I be on suspension? Does it ever go away or will I eventually have to appeal?

I haven't been paying attention to the news lately so I have no idea what is going on. Why is Obama being investigated and why do people want him impeached? I've tried looking on google but I'm only finding a bunch of hate sites against Obama and Democrats in general. So if anyone can fill me in on what is going on, please do. Try sharing as much unbiased, factual, information as you can please.

what would happen if I had my cruise control set to 75 mph, but after being stopped at a light reactivated the cruise control while in first gear? would I have to shift gears for the car? would it even work?

Im looking for a detailed explenation. Im planning on buying a pastel bearded dragon. I just bought a 20 gallon tank, food bowls, lighting, Thermostat, the substrate, and this rock thing for him or her to stand on. So my question is how do I properly take care of the little guy. How often do I feed. Is there anything I need to do with the water he drinks. How long should the bulbs be on. How often do I clean his tank. Temperatures he needs to be at. Vitamins. When will he need a bigger tank, what foods are best, what brands are best, exorcise. Please be as detailed as possible. I want to make sure he's well taken care of.

Ive been looking for a while but all i can find are universal shift boots. Im looking for the oem leather shift boot. I just bought the car, but I honestly don't know how the guy wore it out the way he did. Its a 2000 Celica GT. I was replacing a switch in the console so I had to move it off to the side. It looks like it needs a very specific sizing.

So I sold my car today. Everything went well, the money was counted out and checked for authenticity, and the bill of sale was signed, but my dad accidentally gave the buyer both copies of the bill of sale. So when I was trying to submit the vehicle transfer notice (texas) I realized that I didn't have any of their information anymore. Can I still submit this form with a number to contact the buyer at? Will it have the same effect? Is there any other way to release all liability with the car? Please help

So a good friend of mine told me he was gay a few months ago. At first I thought he was joking, not because I thought badly of those who were, but because he was always just one of the guys, nothing that stood out, checked out girls with the rest of us, car fanatic, talked trash all day long, nothing that even hinted to his sexual preference. I expressed my disbelief but he reassured me that he was being honest. I was very happy for him, I know it must have taken a lot of courage to tell me, but I let him know that it didn't change anything. And things didn't change, except that occasionally we would discuss what he planned on doing next, telling his family members and all that stuff. But over the last few months he has been really down. And I can't even pinpoint what the problem actually is. He wants to be with someone, but he doesn't want to come out openly because he doesn't want to deal with the people that would reject him and ridicule him. His parents are religious so he doesn't want to even attempt to tell them. He has already tested those waters and it doesn't seem like it would end well. And lastly he doesn't want to be gay. He wants to be "normal". Ive tried explaining that there is nothing wrong with him and that being gay isn't wrong or weird. At first it was a religious struggle for him, but eventually he got over that hurdle. But then came the question "So whats the purpose of my life". His logic was that if we are only animals, and animals are meant to reproduce, whats the point of his life?This is when things started to get hard to talk about. Its hard to convince someone about any opinion, but I tried anyways. He understood what I said and for the most part agreed, but he couldn't and still can't let go of the idea that his existence is useless. He wants to be attracted to women, he wants to have children and all of that stuff. Its almost as if he personally thinks it is wrong to be gay. I dont know what else to tell him. Its hard to give him advice because Im heterosexual. I cant tell him were to find good guys, I cant tell him what its like to be the father of an adopted baby, I cant give him good advice on very many things at all. so thats just a little background on the situation. Today we were just having a regular conversation when all of a sudden he says that he wont be around for a while. Out of curiosity I asked why that was and he went on to say that he cant stand his sexuality. I didn't fully understand what he meant by that so i asked what he intended to do. He replied "I don't know, I just don't care anymore". He then went on to say that this life was not meant for him to live. He said he wast going to commit suicide. I wasn't going to sit there and press the guy for more information so i left it at that. Does it seem like this might end in suicide? Which is really the only question. If he feels that he needs to figure things out away from everyone, then great. I just dont know what to tell the guy anymore and he keeps asking for advice. Things seem like they're heading in a pretty dark direction. So any advice would help. Thank you

Ive always been a car guy so i never really looked into them. So im just looking for information on engines, weights, recommended fuels, maintenance: oils, tires and anything else that needs changing. how the weight affects the engines performance, Im assuming there has to be a happy medium. Too light and powerful seems like a dangerous combination. Are there different kinds of bikes for various uses? Im considering buying one so be as detailed as you can. Thank you

Im not too sure if it matters but I am 19, 6ft and weigh 170lbs, Active. I do not plan on using it for transportation, the bike would be used strictly for MX
