Thanks in advance!

I recently was at a business that a friend of mine works at, and I left my phone inside at closing by accident. It was locked safely in the business and I had no worries about it going anywhere, and I was going to pick it up the following day.

The employees get there at 11am, and open for business at 12 noon. I arrived at the business at 1pm, and asked about my phone. The employee I was speaking to said she had found my phone, and put it behind the register. She asked me questions to confirm that I was the rightful owner, and then went to retrieve said phone. She returned to me and said she could no longer find the phone. After contacting her coworker, she said they both didn't know where it went.

Though it was my mistake for leaving the phone, the girl I was talking to had recovered it, and then "lost" it. All I wanted was my phone back, but now I'm thinking about going to small claims for this. There are no posted disclaimers or warnings about lost/stolen property. Since the property was retrieved by an employee, and then lost or stolen while in possession of the business, do I have a chance at filing a suit in small claims for the fair market value of my phone, or its replacement?

Thanks in Advance,

What does the saying "Men and Ships Rot in Port" mean?

I'm about to go to LA with some friends this weekend, and I've been craving some carne asada fries.

Thing is, where we in the Bay Area, its hard to come by.

So if anyone, especially an LA native, can point me in the direction of some amazing carne asada fries, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mace

I know where it is, sorta.

I'm looking more along the lines of the areas of the L.A. River seen in movies like Terminator 2 and Gone in 60 Seconds.

Also, is there any way to get into it?

I am going on a few day trip to SoCal and I would love to take pictures there.

Any help is much appreciated, especially in terms of maps & or directions.

Thanks

The love of my life, broke up with me two months ago, to the day.

I've never loved anyone like I love, present tense, her. Even though it has been two months, not a single moment passes where I do not think of her. Replaying memories like movies in my mind, thinking of what was and what could've been. I seriously would've married this girl, and I would've happily fathered her children, and supported her every endeavor, and grown old with her. The whole nine yards.

I've grown severely depressed. I don't ever sleep, it seems that every third or fourth day without sleep, I'll finally crash, and I'll sleep for a few hours and then I'm awake again. Even then, my dreams are filled with her, and her alone. I haven't had much of an appetite, but I try to force myself to eat. I haven't been very social, I just sit in my room, or lie in bed all day and cry. I cry a lot. I've lost all of my motivation to do anything.

Everything reminds me of her. Every sight, sound, smell and touch, has an association with her. I close my eyes and I can see her face and smile, hear her voice and laugh, feel her warm embrace, taste her lips on mine. I feel like I'm, losing my mind.

I've never loved anyone like this. I've dated plenty, and have had my share of girlfriends, but none compare to her. She is everything to me.

I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to get over her, but part of me knows that I should. I love her so much, but it hurts to much at the same time.

What can I do? What should I do? I'm so lost.

Personality, Character Traits, Physically...

what do you like?

Just like the question says. If you got a reason why, let me know.

Best answer wins.

I want to know who you all think are the best old school hip-hop/rap artist(s) and their best song(s). Artists must be pre 1995 to even be considered.

Simple as that, best answer wins.

Name the most epic 80s song of all time, in your opinion. I'll consider your answer more if you persuade me, or give a reason to back your opinion.

Any genre, rock, rap, r&b, metal, glam, goth, I don't care.

Name it!

In your opinion, what is the best 80s film? Please explain what about the movie makes it the best, and why you enjoy it/what is your favorite part about it.

it is in this video:

first person w/ correct information wins 10pts

What do you look for in the opposite sex. What matters most, and what matters least to you? Do you make exceptions? List 5-10 w/ or w/out explanations.

Mine:

1. Brains before Beauty, she has got to be smart. She doesn't have to be a genius, but she needs to be intelligent, well spoken, is aware of current events in the world, but a the same time knows her history and popular culture. I just don't want a dumb girl.

2. She has to be funny, a good sense of humor, and the ability to make me laugh and laugh with me, is a great thing.

3. Beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile. A lot of people are so concerned with the physical aspects of a person, and I'm not going to lie, I like beautiful, but beautiful only goes so far. As long as she has great eyes and a great smile, I'm happy.

4. She has to be honest & trustworthy. I don't want a girl who is going to lie to me, or cheat on me, someone I can't trust is someone not worth being with.

5. She has to like food. I hate picky eaters, I hate going out with girls that only eat certain foods because others are gross. I'm what people call a "foodie". I like all kinds of foods, from all over the world, and I'm never afraid to try anything at least once, if not twice.

6. She has to have good taste in music. I don't have to like everything she likes, and vice versa. It just makes it nicer when you can put on some music and not have to skip songs because you both enjoy the same kind of music.

7. Movies! She has to like watching movies, 'cause I love to watch movies. I'm not a huge TV person (like television shows and stuff), but I am huge on movies. As long as she has a good taste in a variety of genres of films, that makes it better for the nights we stay in.

8. She has got to love going out as much as she loves staying in, and the other way around. I don't want to sit inside every night, but I don't want to go out every night either. I find as much fun in going to a bar or club, or to a movie or for a walk, as much as I like watching a movie, or just lying in bed talking the night away.

9. She has to have great style. I mean this in her clothes and hair. I take pride in dressing myself and I don't dress out in collared shirts and high priced threads, but I make sure I don't look like a slob either. Also, I've got really great hair, for a guy or a girl. I get compliments on my hair all of the time, and since I'm a guy, she better be able to have as good or better hair than me.

10. She has to be loving, otherwise there isn't a reason to be with her. I have a huge heart, and I wear it on my sleeve. If I give my heart to her, she better be giving me her all as well.

My girlfriend broke up with me a little over a month ago. I still can't function; I haven't been sleeping or eating, not been motivated to do anything but sit in my room for days on end. I've become super depressed, an insomniac, and a recluse.

I can't stop thinking about her. Anything and everything reminds me of her. Everything I look at, listen to, smell, and even foods I eat remind me of times with her. She was- IS- the love of my life. I love her still with all of my heart, and I don't want to let her go.

What can I do? What should I do? I know that I DO NOT want to forget her, as not only is she the greatest love of my life, but I consider her to be my best friend in the world.

My girlfriend of seven months broke up with me, and I've never been this messed up in my life.

Some background information: We met six years ago, freshmen year of college, where we quickly grew fond of each other. We never dated, we were just friends. We sorta drifted apart for a year, but then became even closer. We were in the same program at school, so we had tons of classes for our major together. Although we never dated, we always flirted, and all of our friends could totally tell that we were into each other. Then after she graduated (I stayed in school to do another major) we drifted apart for about a year, still friends, but didn't see much of one another.

Fast forward to October 2007. She randomly calls me, and asks me if I wanted to hang out. We hung out and it was like old times. We went for a walk and just talked and caught up. She had broke up with her long time boyfriend and it had only been a few months. I asked her to my birthday, which was only a couple days after we hung out and she came. We were totally getting great vibes from each other and started dating. After a couple of months of dating, we became exclusive. It wasn't hard falling for her, as I've always liked her and I instantly fell in love, head over heels.

I have never in my life felt that comfortable with a girl. With other girls in the past, I'd be nervous to be myself, and be accepted for who I am. She never judged me, and loved me for who I was, and who I am. We were super supportive of one another in life. We are so much alike; we like the same foods, movies, music, art. Her friends loved me, her best friend of 11 years told me he thought I was the best guy that she has ever been with, and that he was happy that she was with me. My friends and family love her. My family really does love her; my family has never been fond of girls I've dated.

I've never felt a love so pure. In fact, looking back on past relationships, I almost question if I ever loved the girls I used to be with, because none compared to her. Whether we stayed in or went out, it was like heaven. We could watch a movie, play games, talk for hours on end, cook together, go out to a comedy club, take walks, go dancing, go shopping, it didn't matter, everything was perfect. We only had two arguments the entire time we were together, and after talking about them, we worked things out and the same problem never arose again.

The thing is, about a month and a half ago, she broke up with me. She is going through a lot of stuff with her family, and her job/career, and she is in debt and has some legal stuff to take care of as well. I understand she has a lot on her table, but she told me she just needed to not be in a relationship at this point in time. I totally respect her decision, although it hurts like nothing I've ever felt. She said she still loved me, and that she wanted to be with me, but knew it wasn't the best thing for her at the time. We agreed to be friends, and for the first week afterward, we were and still talked. She told me it was hard for her, because her heart told her she wanted/needed to be with me, but she knew she had to get her life in order before she could fully commit herself. Since then, she has talked to me less and less to the point where she won't talk to me. She won't answer my calls, respond to emails or messages. I'm pretty sure that the aforementioned reasons for it being hard for her, is why she isn't talking to me, because we didn't break up on bad terms.

I still love her with all of my heart. I think about her day in and day out. There isn't a single moment in the day that I'm not thinking of her; where is she, what is she doing, does she miss me as much as I miss her?

It has gotten to the point where I am not sleeping for days on end. I have become severely depressed. I'm not eating, I am not motivated to do anything but listen to music and lie in bed all day and all night. Even when I'm lying down, I can't sleep. I haven't slept in maybe five days this time. Last time I didn't sleep for six days and then slept for a few hours, and was awake for another three before my body crashed and I slept for almost a full day. I don't ever leave my room. My friends aren't being supportive, and most don't bother to even ask if I need someone to talk to, and when I ask for an ear, few will lend it, the rest don't want to trouble themselves with my problems. And ever since we broke up, all of these girls have been asking me out and asking if I wanna go on dates and stuff, but I don't want them, I honestly believe in my whole heart that she is the one for me.

Everything I see, hear, smell, EVERYTHING reminds me of her. I don't even need to close my eyes to see her smile; I can hear her laugh, and smell her skin, and if I think about it long enough I can taste her lips on mine.

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm pretty much a softy as far as it goes. I'm secure with my sensitivity, but it is kinda ridiculous. I keep thinking about everything we've been through, and everything we had planned together (getting our own place, traveling, life plans). I think about her, and I miss her so much, and love her so much it hurts. I cry a lot over her, and I just don't know what to do anymore.

I can't move on. I refuse to. I know how much I love her, and I know I want to be with her and nobody else. I still believe in us, and I still believe we can be amazing with one another, like it was before. My heart says to never stop fighting for us, and to my heart I will listen.

What should I do Y!A? What can I do? Should I write her a letter and leave it for her? Should I show up and just talk to her? Am I fool for holding on? Is there still hope?

"hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

I've noticed, more and more every day, that people who are religious are becoming more and more intolerant of others. I'm not intentionally going to generalize, but for the sake of the question I am going to.

People of all faiths, Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc seem to always question people who are Agnostic or Atheist. Asking questions like "why are you?" or "how could you not believe". I don't ask you why you believe in the crap you believe in. I don't ask why you choose to wake up at the crack of dawn every Sunday to sit in front of some goof in a dress talk to you about how you should lead your lives to become a better person.

Then there are the people who are religious and attack people who don't believe, like they have the upper hand because they're religious. "You're a bad person because you don't have God/Jesus/Muhammad in your life" or "You're going to hell because you're gay/had an abortion/disbelieve." Again, who the hell do you think you are? You think because you are a patron of some of the smartest money makers in the world, that you're better than me?

Have you ever stepped back, and taken a long, hard look at what religion does to people? It brainwashes people. It makes people believe that no matter how bad of people they are to others, if they do a few "Hail Marys" and pray for a few minutes each day they are absolved of their sins and that their Lord will forgive them. It makes people think that if they write a check to their church or temple, that giving money is going to make them a better person. Religions that are supposed to be based on faith, and good, and peace, and love, and everything that isn't evil, IS. Religions like Christianity and Judaism and Islam that causes people to be at war with each other for thousands of years and kill hundreds of thousands of people, because "their religion is the right religion." Especially when religions like these are founded on PEACE.

I see this every day, and everywhere, and then I joined Y!A, and here it is, again. Everyday when I come on here to answer questions, I see tons of questions, questioning people who are Agnostic/Atheist why we are how we are. If you're still searching for an answer, I give it to you now: Organized religion is bullsh*t. I refuse to go to a mass, where people are taught how to live their lives instead of living it on their own. Making their own mistakes and learning from them. I refuse to be a part of something that promotes hate for people, while at the same time, acts like they're perfect and they're sin free. I refuse to believe in stories that come from the Qur'an and the Bible because MEN wrote them, not Gods or Prophets. Examples: Turning water into wine, walking on water, turning a staff into a snake, getting two of every animal onto a boat, burning oil for days on end, rising from the dead, Moses writing his own death, etc etc. Then you have the great ones, "Religions" known as the Unification Church where the Reverend believe he has spoken to dead Presidents, and Communists, and Philosophers in his dreams and tells people to join his church. "Religions" like Mormonism, which has been around for only a couple hundred years, and is super elite to the point that they have their own temples and their own Universities. "Religions" like the Church of Scientology, which was created by a science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who said, "`If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be start his own religion."

I know that it is called "faith" for a reason, and I do not disbelieve in a higher being, but I also don't believe in anything written by men.

Again, I ask, why are religious people so pushy when it comes to people who aren't religious?

I don't even know what to say. I just barely joined just for the sake of joining. I'm not going to lie, I enjoy my time here and answering questions. I find it relaxing and enjoyable.

My problem is: I spend time giving great, valid answers, that are helpful, and true. I even go as far as to write PARAGRAPHS about information people are requesting, and then I check out the resolved answer, and it is something like, "I like turtles." and they get chosen for correct answer.

Why is it that you ask a question, and are desiring a good answer, and you choose some tool over someone who spent time giving you an AMAZING answer?
