I've been messing around with this guy since January. We didn't see eachother much cus he went to school in Madison and I was in Saint Paul. But when he came home we would hang out and stuff. Over the summer he had an internship in Chicago. He texted me quite often even at 2am in the morning saying what's up, that he's lonely, and complimenting me. Also saying he couldn't wait to see me when he came back to Saint Paul. He came back in August and we hung out once (like late August). We never had sex or anything but almost. He texted me two weeks later since the day we hung out saying that him an his ex are in a rough situation, apologizing, and saying that he doesn't wanna hurt anyone. He hasn't texted me since. And it's been almost a month! The on Monday he texted me asking me to come over....I told him i couldn't cus I had to get up early the next day. He hasn't texted me since Monday. I really like him and honestly don't want it to be over. :( But it seems like he doesn't want to date. Should I just get over him?

Thanks!

So this guy I've been fooling around with since Jan. He went to school in Wisconsin and I live in Minnesota. Everytime he came home we would chill in a friends with benefits type way lol. So this summer he went to chicago. He texted me quite a few times while he was there saying whats up during late nights like at 2am in the morning. He came back a last week. We hung out/hooked up last friday night. He hasn't texted me since. Has he lost interest in me?? Should I give up or give him time? Or does he want me to text him? Please give me honest answers! Thanks so much!!!

So this guy over facebook contacted me back in January. I've known him since high school. we never talked much in hs but he told me how much he liked me and found me attractive. We spent a day with eachother the next day. We had some fun but we didn't have sex. He wanted to. We almost did tho. Then he had to go back to school. He went to school five hours away. We would see eachother and would spend hours with eachother the few times he came home from school like during spring break. He graduated in May and now is in another state for an internship. He will come back home late summer. He told me that he just wants to be friends now because he is not exactly single. He told me he met this girl that he is kinda with but there are no exact titles. So I didn't get mad at him cause he told me before we started hanging out that he wanted us to hang out but there to be no strings attahced. But he would text me at 2am in the morning saying he hopes to see me in late summer and that I'm beautiful. He says when he sees me he wants to chill strictly platonic cus he's still taken. He compliments me late at night. He texted me at 5am this morning.

So this guy over facebook contacted me two months ago. I've known him since high school. we never talked much in hs but he told me how much he liked me and found me attractive. We spend a day with eachother. We had some fun but we didn't have sex. He wanted to. We almost did tho. Then he had to go back to school. He told me we would spend some time with each other over spring break when he comes back home. He goes to school five hours away. We haven't talked much. We had some nice chats on facebook and texted in the past couple months. I believe he got home from spring break yesterday or friday and hasn't contacted me yet. Has he lost interest in me? Has he forgot about me? Should I give him more time? :( :(

Thanks!

I'm 21. This guy is 19 (almost 20). I'm a virgin. He is NOT. I always thought I should save myself but but now I just don't care. He doesn't know that I'm a virgin. Do u guys think he'll look down on me or think that's sad. Cus he partys a lot and has been with a lot of girls. It just seems embarassing since I'm older than him and don't have much experience. I like him tho but my friends think he acts too young for his age. Advice?

Okay I'm 20. I'm 5'2 and weigh 133 lbs. I'm not fat but I'm thick for my height. I'm SHORT and have a jiggly stomach & thick legs. I want to loose all that fat. I prob wouldn't have a joggly stomach if I was like 5'5. I want to drop at least 10-15 lbs.

Can someone help me find diet that's long term and works. I've been on a lot of diets before where I would loose like 2-3 lbs but gain it back. I don't have much time to workout since I work 2 jobs and go to school full time

Thanks!

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in June 2003, a typical worker in the manufacturing industry earned about $26 per hour including fringe benefits. We can use this figure as a factory worker's total earnings and also as the output that an additional worker of this type produces when he or she is employed. (That is, we can also use $26 as an estimate of the worker's marginal productivity.)

Next, assume that the typical worker works 40 hours per week and that it takes an average of 20 weeks for a laid-off worker to find a new job that is comparable to the one the worker had in the furniture industry. (In fact, the typical spell of unemployment is far shorter than this, even during a recession. For instance, in September 2003, the median duration for unemployment was about 10 weeks.)

Finally, as an overestimate, assume that a total of 50,000 workers lose their jobs in furniture manufacturing and have to find new jobs in other fields. (This is more than the number of lost jobs cited in the article.)

Under these assumptions ($26 per hour times 40 hours per week times 20 weeks per worker times 50,000 workers), the job losses from the furniture imports cost the economy income and output approximately equal to:

A. $10 million

B. $10 billion

C. $1 billion

D. $5 million

E. $5 billion

Each initially prodcues 12000

Freedonia

Pataoes - 36, 000

Teas - 18, 000

Sylvania

Pataoes - 18, 000

Tea - 36, 000

Freedonia has a comparative advantage of __________ while Sylvania has a comparative advantage in the production of_______Together these countries can produce _____of tea and _____pound of potatoes.

Both Terese and Alex own 4 acre plot of land. Both farmers can choose whether to devote all 4 acres of land to producing rye, barley, or produce rye one some of their land and barley o the rest.

Alex

barely - 4

rye - 24

Teresa

barely - 3

rye - 12

Who has an absolute advantage of producing rye? And who has an absolute advantage of producing barely?

What is Alex opportunity cost of producing one bushel of barely? What is Teresa's opportunity cost of producing one bushel of barely?

Who has the comparative advantage in the production of rye?

Please help! Thanks!!
