The Voice of Reason Is Silenced
I live in Houston, Texas...I'm in a relationship and I have 3 kids (9 yr old son, and 5 yr old boy/girl twins). I work at a doctor's call center and I go to school part-time. As far as interests are concerned, I love to read just about anything, and I enjoy random internet research. ;0)
Is US Airways really that bad?
I booked a flight from Houston, TX to NYC, NY for next month on US Airways...I really wish I'd have checked the reviews before I'd booked because I've heard nothing but horror stories about them! Are they really that bad? I'm going up there for my birthday and I am praying that my trip doesn't get screwed up behind incompetence!
5 AnswersAir Travel10 years agoDreams about death...?
Hi, all...I have a couple of dreams that are slightly disturbing to me. I know dreams aren't to be taken literally and that death dreams are not necessarily bad, but the fact that I've had similar dreams about two people in the same family (a mother and son) make me wonder...
The first dream was about a man I used to date and still keep in contact with on occasion. In short, he and I were somewhere together and he ended up getting killed...I didn't actually see him get killed; it was almost as if the dream "skipped" or "fast-forwarded" to me only finding out what had happened after the fact; I was standing in a doorway and they (I don't know who "they" were) were walking out of the door carrying a coffin, and when I opened the coffin I found him inside.
About a week or two later, I dreamed about his mother; I was at my ex's sister's house getting ready for his wedding (he is actually already married and has been for about a year now), and we got a phone call that said his mother had been killed in a car accident that took place when she was on her way to the wedding.
I wish I had more details but that's pretty much all I can remember. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.
4 AnswersDream Interpretation1 decade ago'01 Olds Alero stalls while idling/making a turn?
Hello...I hope someone can help b/c I am at my wits' end with this! My car stalls out when I am idling and/or making a turn..it will cut right back on but it has happened twice while I was in traffic and most frequently when I am making a turn. Work done: tune up 2 months ago, thermostat replaced 2 weeks ago; most recently replaced my fuel filter and, in the hopes that it would fix the problem, an idle air control valve. That last part improved the problem only slightly. The MAIN issue I'm having is that when the car is hooked up to a scan tool/code reader, THERE ARE NO CODES. I've had this done countless times and get the same result. I don't want to have to continue to spend money replacing parts in the process of elimination, but that is what I'm doing. I know it could be the throttle position sensor, the mass air flow sensor, or it could be the idle air control position sensor, and a couple of other things; I'm just hoping that someone can please help me figure this out! And also if you could tell me why the scan code readers are not picking up any diagnostic trouble codes?Please help! Thank you!
1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoMy boyfriend doesn't trust me...(LONG)?
A little history/backstory: he and I met and began dating only about two months ago, but things moved fairly quickly and we both fell for each other very hard. We have so much in common, but at the same time, we are very different. I felt comfortable enough with him to tell him details of my past, and he's said things to me out of anger that make me think that he is judging me for my past, but he'd apologize and things would be okay. Now, he doesn't trust me. I've never cheated on any boyfriends or anything, but HE has been married before, and he recently disclosed to me that he did cheat on his wife, and even though they tried to work things out afterward, she never trusted him and was constantly at him about what he was doing or where he was, etc. THIS IS THE SAME WAY HE TREATS ME NOW. I can't do ANYTHING right. For example, I work nights, and even though I usually wake up when he calls me during the day, on one particular day, he'd called me and I didn't pick up. He made a huge deal out of that. There have been several other similar incidents, but now, tonight, he's tripping again because he called my cell phone while I was at work and I didn't answer. He knew I was at work, and on any other night, he'd call my work number. Tonight was particularly busy and I couldn't answer my cell phone, but I did text him and tell him that it was super busy and that I'd call him back when things slowed down a little. When I tried to call him about an hour later, he didn't answer, and I text him again. He finally text me back at about midnight and made a smart-*** remark like, "Oh, NOW you answer the phone. It wasn't that busy up there." How the hell does he even know HOW busy it was because he didn't even call my work number, he called my cell, and if he HAD called my work number, he'd have known it was busy because he'd have been on hold for a while before he was able to get through. Bottom line is, I'm tired of this. I love him dearly, I really do, but I can't take much more of this. I'm always wrong, can't do anything right, and I've tried to talk to him about this but he always brushes it off. Others I've talked to have told me to just let it go, but I can't bring myself to do it because I really care about him. This is so hard.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoBasically, my boyfriend thinks my sex drive is too high. No lie.?
I've always had a "higher than normal" sex drive, but lately, since I've turned 28, it's been through the roof. I jump his bones all the time. So, when he and I were on the phone tonight, he said that we were going to hang out tomorrow, but there would be no sex until next Sunday. My head probably did a 360-degree turn, and he could tell by my silence that I was a little flabbergasted about it. He says that since our relationship is basically new, we should step back and evaluate it on a non-sexual level. In other words, he's starting to feel like "a piece of meat". So what gives? He knew from the beginning that I liked to get it on, but I feel like he now has a problem with it or thinks there is something wrong with it. I'm not having sex with anyone but him.
8 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoHow much longer do you think I can last on 3 hours of sleep per day?
I just started working a part-time job in addition to my regular full-time job, and being that I work odd hours (overnight to mid-afternoon), you can probably imagine that I don't sleep very well. So...how much longer do you think I can go?
15 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoHelp me budget? Please?
Okay, actually, I'm debating. I have internet ($40/month w/wireless card), so should I keep my cable ($60/month) or dump it? I think it's a waste, honestly, since I can pretty much watch everything on my laptop. Also, since I have the internet at home now (and at work), I was thinking I should drop my Blackberry (not literally) and just go back to a regular cell phone plan, which I also plan on downgrading from 1500 mins/month to about 600 mins/month. That would save me about $40 bucks/month. Please help! Thanks!

2 AnswersPacking & Preparation1 decade ago$300 for 4-day stay in NYC...is it possible?
Hi,
I am going to New York City for the first time ever, and I am thinking of taking only $300 with me. I don't plan on doing any shopping, and I don't eat very much, but would that be enough? I know I can get a 7-day transit pass for about $40; other than that, the rest of the money is for incidentals. What do you think?

7 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoOffshore Jobs for Felons?
Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me with this (I'm expecting judgmental comments which will be duly ignored)! I'm looking to work offshore on an oil rig doing pretty much whatever I would be qualified for, but I am concerned that my background would prevent me from doing so. Long story short: 2 years ago I was busted for possession of a controlled substance (yes, I'm a dumbass) and was on felony probation (deferred adjudication) for two years. I completed my probation in January 2008 and have "kept my nose clean" since. I've made major steps in turning my life around and I'm not wanting this to hold me back. Does anyone know if this would hinder me in getting an offshore job? Any positive advice, tips, leads would be helpful. Thanks!
4 AnswersFood Service1 decade agoLadies...if you could stop your period altogether...would you?
I think I would. I'm 27 years old and have been having a period since I was 15, and I can't imagine having to deal with this for the next 20-25 years! I know a period is medically necessary to keep things "cleaned out" in there, but I have no need for ovulation (I don't want anymore kids), and my period is a literal and figurative pain in the you know what...it isn't regular at all, and my cramps...well...anyway...
...would you put an end to the monthly misery or just deal with it?

9 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoSerious question...(may be dumb, but what the hell)...?
Again, this is a serious question.
Is there any way that a woman can temporarily stop her period? I am seriously, seriously, seriously horny and my husband refuses to have sex with me during "that time." I have three more days and I don't think I can take it anymore. Isn't it kinda unfair that a woman is usually the most horny during the time when most men don't want to touch them????
