Casey

She is independent, smart, educated, career oriented, really sweet, really pretty. She has had me over to her place three times and she is about to be here in 30 minutes.

We have gone to informal dinner twice, she has cooked for me once, and we have had a great time. This last visit to her place we both expressed some concerns. We both were okay with the concerns. However, I feel guilty and ashamed and I feel horrible that she is getting the short end of the deal.

I am 37, possess a Masters degree but I am just now finding a career. I am literally just starting as I finished my internship two weeks ago. I am by no means financially stable. I cannot afford to take her to dinner, buy her flowers, cards, absolutely nothing. I hate it. I feel guilty and I feel like I am robbing her of romance. She is just so cute, so sweet, great conversationalist, everything that I can definitely go for. She is on her way here and I am ashamed and embarrassed because I have nothing to offer.

When she hosted me for dinner she cooked, offered beer, we watched Netflix, and all I have is Netflix. We planned this over the weekend but I was really hoping that I would have something to offer her but plans failed. I told her this afternoon when we were discussing her coming over that this is what I meant last week about me having nothing to offer. I have nothing to offer.

What am I to do? She is accepting of this all. I feel guilty because I knew the situation before we started.

Advice?

She found me on Facebook and I am excited. She was my junior high crush, 7th grade to be exact. I had asked her to be my girlfriend but she declined because she was moving away. I never thought anything of it and sure enough she did; that was back in 88/89.

In 2000 I found her on classmates.com and I emailed her. She told me she was married with 2 kids and doing well. I was also married at the time and living in CA. I never emailed her again and had not talk to her since. A month ago I had this know in my stomach and I thought it was because I was going to get up the nerve to ask a lady friend out on a date. But as I sat and had dinner with my son I got a friend request on Facebook and I could not believe my eyes. I smiled, laughed, went outside and jumped around like a little kid at Christmas. The knot went away and life has been great.

Since then we been seeing each other. I know my feelings for her. I am aware of the social norms to new relationships. But is it possible destiny brought us together? Is it possible that my feelings are because she is the one? Is it possible that I was never successful in relationships because God had his plan? I felt the spark and instant satisfaction when I seen her name. We are doing well. I like her. Is she my one after 26 yrs of not seeing her?

Would explain more but I am out of room. I know that there is "shiny" aspect but I am very realistic about my heart and feelings. I need opinions as if there really is a destiny here?

I have dated plenty of women, generally older than me. But I have a huge issue with myself. I have a hair chest and I am afraid to take my shirt off in public. I have heard women say that a hairy chest is gross and disgusting. These remarks have me extremely afraid to take my shirt off in front of people in general honestly.

I know this is to target audience that is very small but I am extremely curious. I have laid out in the sun this week without a shirt on at noon when I know most people are at work so that no one sees me, I want to tan up so that maybe the tan will curve the hairy chest fear or something. This issue is holding me back from dating again.

Thoughts?

I am in Week 5 of my 6 Week Course. I am earning my MA degree on-line through the University of the Rockies and I am in Statistics and Research Design. I have asked my professor for help many, many times and all he does is answer my questions with one sentence and gives me more questions to answer. I have begged him in email and on "ask your professor" board for help. I have asked him several times to please speak to me in the smallest more basic language he can so I can try to grasp anything he is saying. I have gotten nothing accomplished. I have emailed with him time after time and spoke with him over the phone and I am still lost. I am still clueless as to what Standard Deviation or Variance is. I need desperate help in understanding what this SPSS Output thing is. I don't even know what SPSS is.

I see 15 charts and 4 graphs and I have no idea how idea how to read them. Last week I didn't submit this assignment because I have no idea what I am looking at.

I am begging for help. I cannot express how lost I am. I have tried with the professor, classmates, every link he has provided us with, and every youtube help video I can. I am very desperate at this point to try and save myself from failing.

If you have any suggestion as to what I can do or get help please tell me. To make things even worse I am unemployed and have been since Dec 31, so paying a tutor is not an option; if it was I would have done that 5 weeks ago.

Thank you,

I bought this laptop refurbished back in June/July and it has been great. About three weeks ago the battery would not charge but as I used it it held at 89%. I spoke with a co-worker and he informed me that the battery was wore out and buy a new one. I purchased a new battery from Dell, 9 cell something or other. As soon as I hit the confirm button on the purchase the 6 cell battery started charging like a champ and has been doing great. Today it wouldn't charge again. Well I got the new 9 cell in this morning. I put it in and it is only at 36% but this battery will not charge either. What is the next step?

Thank you

I bought the laptop about three weeks ago and I guess it is okay thus far. I have a concern though about the video player I guess it is. Some YouTube videos spend a long time buffering to play. If I let if just play it plays for 3 seconds the rebuffers for about a minute, so on and so on. It also does this with video that are linked to my college homework, or news reports on Yahoo and other sites. My son has watched a few YouTube videos without fail but most of them stall out. How do I fix this. This is my first laptop and I am not computer literate, obviously, by much at all. So please make it simple and then make it more simple for me.

Thank you.

I started running 4 miles a day, 2 a.m. and 2 p.m., and I severely cut back on my food intake. I have went to pretty well all greens and a little meat but not much. I eat a lot of yogurt, dried fruit, water, and regular fruit. I lost 10 pounds in a month, each day I seen ounces turn into pounds. I have had to tighten the belt since my waist, face, and neck have slimmed quite well. Here is my problem. My tummy won't get any smaller. I have noticed that my gut has shrunk some, but it won't leave. I am now up to 2.5 miles in the a.m. and 2.5 in the p.m.

How do I lose the gut? I have a calorie burner counter thing on my phone when I run my mileage. What is the deal with the calorie burner intake counter thing? Is my running 5 miles a day really burning the fat or just building a more stronger heart, lungs,and muscles over all? What do I do to burn the fat off of my tummy area, love handles I believe they are called. My ideal weight is 180 with a 30/32 inch waist. I am stuck at 188-190 and my 34's have gotten a little big, but I see myself stuck at said weight. What can I do?

Thank you,

I just took everything out of plug and blew it with a can of air. I then removed the side of the tower and blew out all of the dust inside. I put everything back together as it was and I get nothing on the tower. The button won't light up and the fan things inside won't turn on. I found the manuals and opened up the Trouble Shooting guide. The green light is on on the back and flashing. The 115/230 volt watt thing is set to 115.

According to the manual:

Power supply is good

Green power supply light on back of PC is on

Monitor is not connected or is not on.....will not turn on. I have checked the power supply and it is good. When I turn it on, I get a "no input signal' so the monitor goes to sleep.

Line voltage selection switch is not in proper position for country/region....115

Wall outlet is good. The power surge Protector is lit up and so the monitor, the printer, and the internet modem are all on.

Wrong memory modules used in upgrade....N/A

Hard disk drive is damaged.....Press the ? button on the keyboard to open the Help and SUpport Center....done it and nothing happens

After an upgrade or repair, the drive power, data, or power supply cables may not be properly connected....re seat...done this several times

I wanted to download the pictures and videos off of my phone to my computer. So I plugged my USB cord thing from my phone to the desktop tower and I got an message saying I had to disconnect the card thing. So I went to Sprint and they told me I had to use the SD reader in my SD slot in my tower to do everything. What is the point of having USB cord/connections for the this phone if we have to use the SD reader to download the pictures and and for me to download music to the phone? Is there anyway to download music and my pictures to and from computer to my phone without having to use the reader and utilize my USB cord?

Thank you

Sprint told me to put the SD card the SD reader into the SD slot and download and upload from there. So I googled how to or where the SD slot is and I did it, but it takes a very long time for it to do anything. I finally just stopped and by this I mean I just pulled the reader back out because that window would flat stop doing anything. I opened another window and sent an email just to see if the whole computer was slow or if it was just the F drive I read to use. I never got to see everything that was on the reader. The F drive never opened up. I have had my computer about 7 years. It is and HP with WIndows XP. This is the first time I have used this drive or used an SD card reader before. Is this normal? Why does it take so long?

Thank you for your help. If you have advice please break it down to stupid level. I am not computer savvy.

I know you can follow people and when they post a tweet it shows up on your homepage and vice versa. My first question is this: If I am reading tweets that are on US Soccer homepage since I follow them and I see a comment by soccerhead that I would like to comment on; when I comment on this posting will soccerhead see it even though we are not following each other or will only my followers see it?

I guess the bottom line is, when I tweet from my homepage who sees it? And if I comment on a tweet from someone that is not on my 'followers' will they see me tweet?

I want to help kids do good in life. I have read the LCSW job duties and it sounds wonderful and that there will be lots to do. I have also read and talked to one on one face to face with an LPC. I have set in my mind that I want to help gets get through the thing that got them to counseling, get an education, and be a great person in life. All all of these things will complete Maselows pyramid and make life so much easier. From what I gathered from the one LPC I spoke with I think the LCSW would be a better choice for my heart and soul. I want to get deep in the kids and really help them out, which is the LPC side. The education, job, and self-schema thing is where the LCSW plays in. I will be graduating in a year with a double major bachelors in sociology and psychology so either direction can be taken. I need to decide which Masters program to get in.

Any information that I can read more into either or both careers is greatly appreciated.

I got called by the ex-wife this morning to inform me of the news. Her concern is about our son who really loved his grandmother. But my concern is this.

Am I allowed to attend the funeral?

What floral arrangement do I get for her and her family, (husband, and five kids; [2]his, [1]hers, and [2]theirs)?

We all are friends and get along very well. They used my tent this weekend to go camping. I watched his daughter with my son one day so that they can take care of some personal stuff. Obviously I won't be hugging her for her loss, I will restrain my tears in front of them all, but how do I gently send a 'sorry for your loss arrangement'?

I remember hearing it a few years back on Pimp My Ride as he was showing the customer their new stereo system. As I do not listen to rap music so I can only assume that it is his music that he was playing for obvious reasons. As far as lyrics I remember, 5 words.

"Oh no, here we go"

I think I remember there being a hard bass sound to this also, but I am not too sure. I do apologize for there not being much to work with here.

Thank you

I removed the Adobe X thing. I downloaded it because I needed to fill out and application for employment. When I did I noticed immediately that if or when I tried to open an attachment or anything in Microsoft Office Word 2007 it was tremendously slow. So this afternoon I removed the Adobe X thing and now I can't open an attachment in my Outlook email. When I say to open it I get the error message something like, "FIle does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."

I was able to open an attachment from an different person using my Outlook.

Any suggestions? I noticed that one file I was able to open is using Microsoft 97-2003 I use Microsoft office 2007.

I can only assume that I totally deleted the Adobe thing so I can not open anything associated with Adobe.

I am obviously not computer literate, so please be as basic as basic can get. THANK YOU!

I have no idea how to categorize this question.

I have completed 82 hours of courses for my Sociology degree, BA. This includes all of my basics and the required Sociology courses. I am now in my first Psychology course. I am earning a double BA for Sociology and Psychology.

When I last spoke with my academic adviser I chose to take the route of the double BA versus a single BA and two minors. I am very curious as to if I have completed my BA for Sociology so that I can tell employers that I HAVE a degree in Sociology.

When I last spoke with my adviser he told me that I needed to complete X amount of hours for a BA degree. The only courses I have left to complete my full college experience are the psychology courses and 3 courses that I needed to fill a void. These classes I chose at random and because they looked pretty interesting.

Am I done with my Sociology degree? Do I have a BA in Sociology? When I apply for a job and the employer asks if I have a four degree, can I tell them 'yes', I have a BA in Sociology and I am currently working on my BA in Psychology?

I have utilized Office Word for all of my final papers in class. I only used powerpoint and excel for a computer class. I want to do up a resume I can save here on my computer and email it when needed. I have tried the Microsoft Works, but it shows that it can not be opened when the receiver tries to open it. Is it possible to do a resume in Microsoft Office 2007?

1) What is the difference?

2) Which is better for work, college, and play?

3) Do PC Tablets need any hardware/software added to it?

4) Are the tablets internet friendly?

I know nothing about laptops or these PC Tablets. I am searching for a job to where I can utilize my college. My degree will have me working with stats, information, emails, etc. What is the best route?

Thank you!

I am currently attending college online. I am finishing a class on Social Welfare. Starting Tuesday January 18th, I will be starting my capstone class, Social Science Capstone. After that I will roll right into my Psychology classes to start my second bachelors degree. Now, I will not be completely done (graduate) until June 4, 2012.

My current job is whithering away very quickly. I got to work 5 hours Monday, I have not worked this week, and I was just informed that I will not be working tomorrow. I work in a refinery. I am asking or wondering if any of you thought that maybe I could work for a Social Service company without being completely graduated from college.

I am hoping that since I am all but completely done with my Sociology degree that I maybe just maybe may have a chance to do so. I have been wanting to work with children who have the possibility of becoming juveniles or at risk youth. I want to work children in need. I have eyed CPS pretty heavily.

Thank you for your time and thoughts.

I am getting my butt kicked here. I am supposed to be arguing whether social workers should have more or less autonomy in their day. I am supposed to find an article to support this. I have used bing, google and yahoo to look for an article. I have tried: social welfare autonomy, social worker autonomy, autonomy issue for social work(er), and a bunch of others. All I get for my results are classes offered by universities offering different social degrees. If I could only respond with, I am already in college! Any advice on how I can redo my search or any article leads, or a current issue in the world of social work or services.

Thank you
