  • Why doesnt my friend call me?

    Yesterday I contacted him in the morning to hang out, he sounded like he wanted to but he had to wait till he was out of work. He told me that he would call me. Well, I waited until later that day till about 8 and contacted him again, and he never responded, I called him again at 10 and he said that he had to work early in the morning. I told him that it was alright and that he should get a hold of me when he ans some free time. He then replied, "how about tomorrow after work?", I agreed and he said he would call me.

    Now, its the next day and its 10pm, no sign from him again...

    He has always been known to shrug off scheduled things with friends, but I feel like he is trying to avoid me. This doesnt make sense though because he offered to meet me today. And now for the second time, he is going against his word.

    Maybe he sees me as a backup plan, if his other friends dont pull through, he can just hang with me, mostly because I will put up with it and not be too mad because we have been friends for so long.

    the past 48 hours all I have waned to do is hang out with a friend and really, I dont have many, it just make me feel so bad because he must have forgot about meeting up with me.....when all I could think about for the past two days is hanging out.

    Its 10pm ish right now and its not unheard of for us to hang out late at night, but its during the work week so I doubt that will happen, should I contact him? knowing that he will prolly say..."my bad" again? or should I just not bother?

    I feel like if I just ignore it, it he will further use me as a backup plan, if I confront him about it, it could add enough negative connotations to make him remember better or something idk.

  • Caffeine and Melatonin, is it dangerous?

    I pretty much am a caffeine junkie, I consume around 300-400mg per day at my peak, then I always wean myself off of it dealing with the headaches for a few days. Today I have had two energy drinks, which is normal, but I am taking melatonin tonight to help me sleep better, is it dangerous to mix the two? I will have 2-4mmg tonight, which isnt that much really.

  • My dog bit my ear, what to do?

    Right now I have multiple puncture wounds on my ear, only one, maybe two are visible from the front, but you can see 3 big puncture marks on the back of my ear. Also, I am worried about how cartilage heals, I know that i could have a bump there or something, but are there any necessary precautions for puncture wounds into cartilage? They are bleeding but it stopped after a few min. Of course, I do not want to put my dog down so I am reluctant to seek medical advice. Also, it seems that my dog and I have some dominance issues. He likes to pee on my bed, however, he does this because he thinks its his territory or something, and he normally goes to the back door and scratches if he needs to go out. I also have this bad habit of trying to make him growl, I will taunt him by pretending to grab him or something similar, and once in a blue moon, he will go beserk. He has bit me previously and it was from the same ordeal, he was resting, and I taunted him and got too close.

    You would think I would learn the first time. But its obvious that this is a major behavioral issue, what changes do you guys recommend to eliminate another scenario like this in the future?

    Also, in case your wondering, I didnt hit him or anything, Right after he bit, he was calm and he knows that one good bite will make me stop, I just felt the back of my ear, saw blood and cleaned it up in the bathroom.

  • How to know which outlet to use?

    Hello, I am installing a few 3 prong outlets to replace our really old two prong outlets. The problem is that I have no idea how many amps the breaker is. I have found the breaker for the room we are installing new outlets in, but the label is faded so I cant tell if its 15, 20, or 40 or whatever.

    I have a digital voltmeter and I tried testing it, but I think amperage is just the amount of electricity the breaker can handle.

    Will I be fine installing the 20amp outlets?

    Would installing a 15amp outlet cause any problems?

    My mom is rather ocd about electricity and she doesnt want it to start a fire.

  • Help, I am not eating!?

    Ok, so I have been battling depression for the past few months and most recently I have gotten over it and learned how to enjoy life again. However, my appetite is HORRIBLE!

    I wake up aorund 10am everyday and I try to eat at noon, but I can only get a couple bites down.

    A few hours later around 4pm or so, I will try to eat again, but usually I can only get half a sandwich down.

    Then later at night, I get really hungry, and our school cafeteria is closed, so I opt for fast food or something else laying around.

    I try my best to eat healthy when I do eat, I avoid bad carbs like chips and french fries, and I eat multigrain bread, brown rice occasionally, and whatever protein I can find. I also take vit C supplements.

    But I never feel hungry except for late at night, and most of the time I just go to sleep because im out of money to buy food.

    I have lost quite a bit of weight too, my mom thinks I have anemia, because she is anemic, however, I think I am just out of the loop.

    How can I get my eating schedule back on track? My health is very important to me.

  • What alcohol should I mix with Diet Pepsi Max?

    Hello, well it is the end of my semester and I have decided to treat myself to a nice refreshing drink. The only problem is that the only thing to mix with is Diet Pepsi Max...

    I usually mix juices with vodka because it tastes 10x better, but I am not sure how DPM would go with vodka.

    I do like rums, but they tend to get too sweet after a few drinks.

    Then there is whiskey, a drink I prefer with ice, but it might be a bit over the edge for pepsi.

    What would you mix it with?

    Also, I am open to any recommendations of cheap drinks that also might be good.

  • Friend wants me to smoke weed......again.?

    Well, I am a freshman in college. I started smoking weed in the fall, and have up until a few days ago.

    A few days ago I decided that enough was enough, weed was hurting my life, financially, socially, and romantically. I also have an addictive personality and I became dependent upon it. I had to smoke before I ate, I smoked before anything, and before bed, and every excuse I could find to smoke, I would. I ended up going into a deep depression and I have finally gathered the strength to stay sober now.

    My friend originally agreed that he was going to quit with me, but I just found out that he started smoking again, he couldnt handle one day without pot. I told him that I was done for good, forever.

    He doesnt believe me. He thinks that I am not serious about it, and he is always asking me to smoke and he even offers free weed, but I refuse to go against my will this time.

    Is he doing this because he wants to feel better about himself relapsing?

    I just cant tell.

  • Would Wellbutrin work for me?

    Hello, so right now, I am doing quite bad in college. Time after time, teachers have told me that I should go see a doctor for ADD. Well, it took long enough for me to do it, but anyways, I was prescribed Wellbutrin. This is because I also took a depression test, I am infact depressed and it is an issue aswell, but I was expecting something more along the lines of adderal. I have taken it once and I found that it worked well for me. I wanted to ask my doctor about this, but I dont want her to think im just gonna be a amphetamine abuser.....I just want my life back, and I cant do it if I cant focus in school, or if im depressed laying on the couch all day. Will this drug work well for both symptoms? Has anyone taken it or anything?

  • Will I fail out of college?!?

    Hello, I have a big problem and I need advice...

    In high school, I never did my work, just enough to pass. Really, people think of me as really smart, I just lack lots of enthusiasm and commitment. Now in college, I finished my first semester. I did really bad. 2.1 GPA. That...however was enough to get me off of academic probation because a 2.0 or better is good standing. Now into the second semester.....

    There is a new enemy, marijuana.

  • Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!plz!!?

    Im 18 and I have been smoking for like only 2 years but I feel just as shitty as the next weed fiend without bud. I currently have no job, only babysitting for my parents which only gives me about $40 to spend on the weekends. Every time I get paid I end up spending it all on weed that day and smoke most of it that night. The day after that is all hell because I spent all my money and smoked all my weed so Im stuck dwelling about how much my life sucks and how bored I am without bud. Its like i dont enjoy any of the things I used to and the only real thing to do for fun is to smoke weed. I lost so many of my old friends that I had before I started and all my friends today are people who smoke weed and they only want to hang out with you if you have some or want to buy some. So when I dont have bud I just get pissed and bored out of my mind. I spend the weekdays soaking in my own depression hoping someone will smoke with me. I dont know what to do anymore I want to quit but every time I try I seem to just get sucked back in. I was hoping someone would have some suggestions or something idk.

  • Urgent Dental Help! Infection in Wisdom teeth.?

    Ok, so I am 18, 6', 185lbs. I just went to the dentist for a consultation of the extraction of my wisdom teeth. He said that I had pericoronitis. It is an infection under the flaps of my partially erupted wisdom teeth. Now....on wikipedia, it states that pericoronitis should be absolved before the extraction of the teeth. This is because it can make it spread to the throat and cause serious complications. The thing is....my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow! Shouldnt this infection be resolved before the extraction of the teeth?

    Also, he noted my large tonsils, then asked me about how I slept. I told him that I sleep okay, but most of the problems come from the amount of caffeine I have. Should I be worried about this? He didnt seem to bothered from it, but he asked me about my sleeping. Could it be from the infection in my wisdom teeth? cancer? I really have no idea, and I figure that since this doctor cant comprehend that the infection needs to be taken care of before the extraction, he probably wouldnt be able to diagnose a proper reason behind my enlarged tonsils...

    Please help....im going under the knife tomorrow morning!

  • Cant get into video games - help?

    Hello everyone. I am currently a freshman at college and I am planning on going into video game development. I have always been a "gamer" but I feel that I go through games way too fast and get bored easily with them. Only a few games have really held my attention for a long time like world of warcraft, oblivion, and some of the halo games. Its like people spend thousands of hours playing the same games with the same content as the last time they played. I mean, I can only play a set of 10 maps for so long. I want to pursue a career in the gaming field, but I feel that most games dont quite meet my expectations...how do some people do it?

    Games like wow get old too, I remember being a noob and being immersed in azeroth, it was intimidating and mystic....now, its completely different, its just a giant chat room.

    Oblivion is fun and all, but after beating it, I found that there was no replay value in it. Also, the lack of online interaction made me feel "lonely".

    Halo had a compelling story and had a little replay value if you had friends with you. But the online play gets old and boring unless you manage to win every match.

  • I cant take it anymore!..........?

    Ok, my mom is an alcoholic. Around a year maybe two years ago when I was 16 or so, I remember that I could always tell when my mom was drinking. I could hear it in her speech, see it in her face, sometimes smell it. It was quite easy.....Well, I went off to college and its been going great. Now im back home for thanksgiving and for some reason, I find myself evaluating her...like checking her speech and gestures. What is the deal, I know she is not drinking, she hasnt for months and the last time she did drink, it was mouthwash and I caught her in the act. This humiliated her and she has never had any alcohol since. She also used to go in our basement and hide a bottle of wine, I even checked all over, nothing....The thing is...she isnt drinking, but for some reason, I can pick out slurred speech form her....its been like this for almost a week. Is it possible that alcohol can permanently damage her speech? Also, she is not having a stroke or anything for those wondering. How do I learn to trust my mom not to drink...and why do I feel responsible for it? Until I overcome this, I cannot have a normal relationship with my mom, I feel that every act of humor from her is fueled by alcohol, and sometimes it almost angers me....help

  • What is a good cheap alcohol?

    Ok, so let me start off by telling you what I like.

    -Beer - Mostly nicer beers like blonde ales, IPAs, some stouts, lots of sam adams, and if i have to drink cheap beer i usually go with miller high life, coors light (because its like water lol), or MGD.

    -Whiskey - I like nicer whiskeys too, ones with more complex tastes, cheaper whiskeys have too much alcohol flavor and little depth. I like nicer ones on the rocks or with water if theres no mixers available.

    -Rum - ill drink it if its available, generally i find it too sweet when mixing with pop.

    -Vodka - After a bad experience with it, I cannot stand it. Throwing up rubbing alcohol...blah, makes me cringe. Have had other flavored vodkas, but I really dont like it.

    -Gin - never had it, I heard it tastes like pine, which i love. But it could be bad because I heard its similar to vodka.

    -Tequila - Had it once, made me cringe, it was cheap and tasted similar to vodka.

    I really hate to sound like a snob in this post, but the reasoning behind the nice beer is because my brother brews. The reason behind most of the nicer liquor is because I hate anything that tastes like rubbing alcohol. Nicer liquors with more depth and flavor to them take my mind off the alcohol taste.

    So...What do you recommend I try, im a student on a budget mind you.?
