Correct Grammar (possessive) for a long Title?
Is my grammar correct if I write, "The North American Director of Logistics' Assistant", or is the apostrophe supposed to be in a different place?
Note: I realize I could reword this in a better way, but please tell me if there is a correct way to do this without changing the word order. Thank you!

6 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoHow are Germans taught WWII?
I'm American, and throughout my education in public schooling, I was taught a very americanized story of WWII. What do the Germans learn about it, since they lost. It's been over sixty years, and Germany is such an upstanding nation, but I'm writing a paper, and this topic has popped up into my head.
Any germans out there, or people who know what they are taught about it??
Anything would help, Thanks in advance.
1 AnswerHistory1 decade agoMy Professor wants me to do a speech on being gay...?
It's for my interpersonal skills class. It's gotta be 5 to 10 minutes, and I feel like it'll be a good oportunity to open peoples eyes up to gay people in a more realistic way... Do you guys have anything I should talk about... Ideas, Topics.
I'm REALLY masculine, and nobody can EVER tell that I'm gay, so maybe something on how not every gay guy fits the "Just Jack" stereotype??
What else?? It's a pretty open format, since we're not a culture.
7 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoWishful Thinking, or Something Happened?
Ok, so there's this straight guy at work. He has a girlfriend, and he's a little younger than me. I just started there, and whenever I meet new people, my gaydar turns on and begins to search. This guy has a best guy friend at work, and they are inseparable.... both fricken gorgeous. Their closeness through me off, so I had Dar right away from that (that can usually mean that ONE of them is).
Anyways, I knew one pretty well, but I hadn't gotten to know the other one, we'll call him John. So John, his best friend, another guy coworker go out after work for a drink and some food. The whole time, we had this hilarious conversation about girls, sex, (guys in my case, cause I'm gay), and all other sorts of hilarious guy talk.
They're all pretty cool with me being gay, and John seemed to LOVE when I would talk about being gay... he couldn't stop laughing at some of the jokes I had about it, and my philosophies, and blah blah blah. The whole night was a blast, and I could tell that we all had an extremely good time (but i especially noticed his good time).
So the next day at work, we both pulled a double, and it was just me and him. We hung out the whole day, had our tables in the same area, and we were just goofin around being guys and what not. ANYWAYS, in the middle of the second shift, something happened.
We were in the kitchen, and it was just me and him, and he began talking seriously. I could tell he was hesitant on what he was trying to say, but he was basically saying (stuttering a little) that we definitely need to go back and have dinner again like the night before, because he "loves... like... learning... i dunno, about like, other peoples views and stuff".... lol, really cute, like he couldn't admit something or WHO KNOWS!
So my guy immediately sinks, and I try to act like i'm half listening, and totally agreeing with everything while I was doing something... like, "yea, for SURE, last night was hilarious"...
So then after that, my gaydar was on full blast, but I tried not to show that it made me glow. I needed to break change, so I asked him if he could do it for me, and he could, so I was being goofy, and was like, YAYYAHHH, Teamwork! (something gay, i dunno, its a restaurant, we all do crazy stuff to stay upbeat)... I went for a highfive downlow, and he highfived me, but got real awkward, and he said something.
He mumbled it, and it was out of place, but what i'm almost sure he said was, "I'm seeing somebody", under his breath a little.
It was out of nowhere, and the wording was weird to me, not "i have a girlfriend", just "i'm seeing somebody". And then for the next hour, it was like a 180 with me and him. We didn't make any eye contact, he backed off of me, and I backed off of him, and i felt so sad about it, because I wasn't even hitting on him, I was just having a good time, and really enjoyed how receptive he's was being towards me. After about an hour and a half, he finally went back towards normal, and we've been fine ever since.
Anybody have any type of analysis on this? It confused the hell out of me. Do I have a decent case at maybe thinking he could be bi or something. I'm not gonna persue it, but it would be good to know I guess.
4 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoIs he gay, or just an attention whore?
So I've met this guy. He's not perfect, but he's SOOO fricken cute, has the nicest wrestler body, and his face/smile make me melt. I'm actually friends with his older brother, he's a wrestler at the college I'm going to, and known to be a womanizer, but we love him anyway.
So i'm out to all these people, and this kid comes to visit his brother every other week or so. Since I've met him, he's done some pretty gay things with me, but he claims he's straight.
The second time I met him, where we actually got to know eachother, was at this "dress to impress party" at one of the wrestlers house. I was looking pretty good that night, and I wore a vest 'to impress'. This kids older brother came up to me and was like, "dude, if you looked this good all the time, I could find you some MAJOR (gay) ***", in dis-belief. I was pretty flattered by the compliment coming from a really cute straight guy.
So then I meet his hot *** little brother, and he's a little womanizer himself.... great body. So, he comes up to me, all straight, and is like, "dang man... If I knew it was a dress to impress party, I woulda worn something nicer... I wish I had a vest I could wear....." .... So he seemed pretty easy going, so I flirted a little, and was like.... "I mean... you could wear MY vest... but you gotta take your shirt off when you put it on.... (cause I wanted to see his body (he was ripped). So he winks at me, and he's like, I'll do that. So he did it, and wore my vest (looked SOOO hot in it). So then me and this "straight" kid are talking the whole night. joke, laughing, having a really fun time. There were like two or three times that he grabbed my shioulder and massaged it really good.... more that you would touch a shoulder if you were just patting it if they walked by, so I knew something was up. So i decided to invite him back to the place I was staying at, to play some beer pong. He took the invite right away, and couldn't wait to get out of there. So I told him that I'd meet him outside, I just had to rally some friends up to go back.
I met him outside, and I was like, do you wanna wait for all of them, or should we just head over now. He was like.... welll.... why don't we go now, cause I'm really cold in your vest..... you might wanna put your arm around me.
(I was like, NO FUKING way is this happening, he is WAY too cute for me).... so we go back and play beer pong with some friends. There were a few comments he made that were ambiguously gay when we were on the same team, and were deciding who should start throwing... he was like... "should I lead, or should you lead", and kinda raised his eyebrow. THEN some girls walked in........ the whole night he was at a party with girls, and NOW he decides to go straight. So he slowly stops paying attention to me, and goes after all these broads.
I was fine, I was like whatever, your typical dousch, and I went to pass out on the couch, cause I wasn't getting any. A little bit later, as he was leaving, he comes and wakes me up, and was like.... don't worry man, LOTS of gay guys fall for me, it's totally cool.....
....... So I opened up my eyes and said.... "who said I even liked you though???" ........ (lol, you shoulda seen his face!)
****************************************************************************
A few weeks went by and I obviously forgot about it, but I saw him again last night. Me and him gave eachother huge smiles, because we both remembered what happened last time, haha, and there was no awkwardness, I called him a douchbag, but that was it.
So I didn't hang out with him at all at the party again, but I ran into him a few times, and my friend Kat said that he said some really nice things about me. So I went over to him later in the night, and invited him back to my friends place again (cause I just KNOW this kid is gay)... he accepted the offer REALLY fast again, and then I went back to socialize. He kept comming up to me after that... are we leaving yet, are we leaving yet...... So I finally left with him. It was snowing, so me and him ran really fast. We got inside, and I was like, damn I gotta Pee.... he was like, "dude, me too!!! can we sword fight"... lol, so I was like, definitely, and we went pee to gether (it was actually semi cute).... So i figured he crossed the line there, so as he was finishing, I kissed him on the cheek to see how far this straight guy would let me go at this point..... he didn't do anything. Alls he said was, "i'm ok with that".
So then his brothers friend (and my friend) comes to hang out and pick him up. (his older brother was sick this night). We're in the hallway smoking a cigarette with my best friend Reggie. This kid doesn't smoke, but he insisted on having a cigarette, and took my friends as I was lecturing him about how stupid it was, and I hate that I do it.
I maneuvered himself on the stairs to cuddle in between my legs (it was SOOO cute), and leaned his head on my crotch. His brothers frie
9 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoGay People! In what ways are you an exception to stereotypes?!?
I've noticed, from the many gay people I meet, to stories from straight people, that gay stereotypes tend to hold true to a majority of openly gay people... how do you separate yourself? What makes you uniquely yourself?

13 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoLGBT: What annoys you most?
.... about the way people of your sexuality act.
It's ok to semi-generalize on this one, as long as you see it as a reoccurring pattern.
My biggest pet peeves in the gay world:
** -excessive drama with 80% of guys
** -inability to socialize or relate to str8 men... or lack of attempt
** -tendency to act like they gays you see on tv... be yourself!
** -tendency to confuse being gay with being one of the gals
Those are a few... what about all your guys'?

3 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWhat heartrate should I be at?
Ok, so i'm 21 years old and I weigh between 185 and 190lbs. I've been working out regularly for like two full weeks now, but I want to make sure I'm burning fat. I generally stay on the treadmill and power-walk at the highest incline for 45 minutes, or yesterday I did the Elyptical.
When i'm on the treadmill, i usually keep my HR around 180, and on the elyptical it's about 170 or 175... is this good for fatburning??? The machine told me to go between 130 and 160, and that just felt rediculous. ... I've been burning about 500 calories each workout.
Any advice is highly appreciated (lost ten pounds so far!!)
