I am concerned primarily about voltage and frequency. What should I do to make sure the console will actually run (I do not care about display)? I do not think that just a converter will suffice, but maybe it will.

I was recently referred to by this title jokingly (perhaps). I know it mean slightly different things to different people. Do you feel as though it refers to a casual intimate relationship or that it refers to a relationship in which the woman is older and possibly successful and is merely looking for an attractive younger man to have sex with who she may be able to control?

I had been traveling around with my dad to various places. I mean by car to different places near Dallas. (That is where my parent’s house is … I am in college.) I happened to be in boxers and was very nervous about people noticing. I didn’t really want to be with my dad and tagging along with him. Somehow (this is absurd) I felt as though if I was really discreet I would not be noticed with my boxers. Eventually we traveled to a community college. My dad is a high school counselor so he knows a lot of people there. I was afraid that someone would notice I was only in boxers while talking to him.

I still see the shorts (in real life) because my mom will wear them on occasion around the house. They are very unstylish and I refused to put them on in my dream (not to mention they are actually too small for me now). I suppose I was still carrying them as we walked onto the campus. I thought about them often as we were walking through the community college. My dad happened to run into one of his former students who I went to 6th grade with. We have not seen each other since then and have only had minor contact on facebook and from what I have seen she is fairly attractive. She is, honestly, of no significance to me, so I do not know why she would be in my dream. She gave something to my dad and I was nervous that she would see my boxers. She left quickly but then appeared out of no where (about 2 minutes later) to say hi to me.

. I forgot about my boxers … perhaps I then had the shorts on (I will explain later b/c I am not sure). We both were smiling except as I opened my arms up for a hug she put out her hand for a shake. I thought this was strange but I didn’t have much time to react because her hand went towards my neck. Finally after six seconds she released me from her rather strong grip. She put her hand out again and said “Let’s start over.” I consider her offering and said something that amounts to “F*** YOU, CRAZY B****.” She stormed off and I just stood there nursing my neck.

People were sitting down as I believe this was a social area. No one was near me, but people were looking at me. I was stunned; my father was no where to be found. She came back to within 20 feet of me and we exchange a few words to try to hurt the other persons’ feelings. I was going to apologize about only having boxers on, but I realize that the shorts were now on me; I did not remember putting them on. I did eventually apologized (I am not sure for what), but I believe I also made it clear that she should say away. A guy who was sitting down struck me as I was about to walk away with my dad. He said something like “you’ll get her back later.” I believe he may have been shirtless. I walked off with my dad and I said something insulting to her as I walked out the door. It was a good insult in a humorous way (at least to me), and I remember laughing to myself on the way out.

My dad didn’t make a comment on what had just happened, but I was just pissed off and ranting to him. I was asked what happened by one of my dad’s friends. I explained my story and she only had two comments. That the girl was very smart, but also a trouble-maker. Then she also commented on my use of the world "b****" and how it made me seem “bitter” (yes I know that is ridiculous). Another woman joined in to hear my story as my dad and I walked away towards our car. I assume we were heading home; the dream ended.

The girl is representative of my relationship with women in general. I cannot think of another reason that such a random person would be used for my dream. Perhaps, I am mistrustful of my relationship with women. I always end up trying to play it off like I never cared about the person and maybe even trying to hurt her feelings after things quickly go awry. I still do not quite get why she choked me so quickly. That doesn’t seem quite right for my interpretation.

Any ideas are appreciated. I also may have missed the details that were early in the dream. This is just the part that stuck out to me and that I remember best. I also had another dream before this one, I am not sure if they are connected at all.

Feel free to ask any questions. I promise I will answer them.

Two days ago my throat hurt a bit and I could tell I was going to get sick. The next day it hurt to swallow, but I could still eat food. Last night I was unable to sleep because of the pain caused by swallowing, and because swallowing was necessitated by large amounts of saliva and mucus. Now today is even worse.

I do not feel as though I have a fever. My throat is swollen shut and my neck is huge and tender. My lymph nodes have ballooned in size. I do not feel particularly weak except for my sore neck and my lack of sleep. I do not feel as though hard food is really an option for me right now and I have a lot of pain swallowing just about everything. My saliva and mucus production are on high gear. Still, my nose remains relatively unclogged and it is what I am breathing through because of the lack of room in my throat.

So I have been living in a place with some other college students and I want to cook a meal because everything I eat is typically cooked in an oven from frozen, I already know what I want in it but I am a little unsure about some of the finer details. I am using lean ground beef, green and red peppers, onions, microwavable rice, mexican spice, and cheese. I will spell out my process here and see if it sounds alright.

Warm pan to med-high and put olive oil on it. Put beef in the pan and proceed to cook by moving beef around with spatula for the next ten minutes. Chop up onions and peppers (during these 10 minutes) but never let the meat sit for too long. Turn burner on low add spice, and then, add the peppers and onions. Microwave the rice and mix all this around for 2 - 3 minutes. Turn off the burner, and add cheese on top and add the rice, then mix all together and serve.

I have seen some articles lately talking about an historic agreement that will take place in Lisbon. I haven't been able to find any background info in these articles though. Could someone give me a summary of what has been happening the past few months and the basics of the treaty?

I will appreciate a summary or a link or as many details as you care to give me.

Ok, let us assume that God is infinite and all-powerful.

We (humans) have no real concept of God except that he transcends time and space.

We realize that God must be able to view time from a fourth dimension because time (change) does not apply to God. (think Slaughterhouse-Five).

Therefore because this is God's creation he must know exactly what will "happen" according to our human perspective of time.

How then can we have free will? Our path was determined with his creation of the universe (if he is in fact all powerful). It is silly to believe that God could actually change something in our present time because that would be so trivial to him. Prayer serves merely as self-reflection.

And if we do not have free will why then is there suffering in the world? Does it not seem sick to create a universe and then have millions of people suffering when you knew it was going to happen?

I was at pub/club/bar with a group of friends/acquaintances. There I grinded with a lot of girls most of whom I knew. My dancing was pretty random except I was focusing on this one chick trying to spend longer amounts of time with her . I spent about 50% of my time with her, mostly dancing. I thought that she liked me before we ever went to the club. Our faces got very close multiple times and I tried to make sure our lips touched while talking and dancing. I never kissed her and certainly did not want to make out in public (like a drunken couple). Everything was going great from my perspective. She would look over at me if I was talking with someone else. She had no problems holding my hands while dancing.

So I did what any reasonable man would do, I asked her to leave. She said no and I though she wanted to dance more. But as the night got late, she kept saying no even when she said she was tired (I probably asked 3 - 5 times over 3 hours). She could have left me at any time with only slight resistance. I was getting annoyed with her. We ended up leaving with several other people; she didnt walk next to me, I didn't want to be clingy and accepted my fate for the night.

I would not change a single action from the night except I might have kissed her once. I only have a slight theory and I wonder if you have any others. She was very drunk that night and may have been nervous about doing something she would regret. I do not think she has been very sexually active and perhaps I gave off the vibe that I was pushing her towards sex. She did tell her/my friends that she would make out with me early in the night. I think that there is a very small chance that she didnt know I wanted her b/c of the dancing with other girls. I was drunk but certainly much less so than was she.

Do you think it is time to just forget about her or should I give her a little bit longer to warm up? I tend to want to give her another chance b/c I like her, but perhaps we just dont match-up. I will see her many more times with my friends, the only time we could really be alone would be if I could get her to leave on a night that we partied somewhere. I really do like her as a person but I am not going to put up with that behavior for much longer b/c I could spend my nights talking to other girls that are interested in me.

Just curious if anyone has any insight into why she acted this way.

I am an accepting person who is calm on the inside and out most of the time. But, whenever I see someone with Bible verses as their favorite quotes on Facebook, Myspace, or wherever and/or if they talk about how they are saved, etc, whether or not I know the person or not I instantly judge them as someone I do not want to be around and I just think "Yuck". I just found it funny how it gets me so ruffled (when it is so hard to do so). I know I feel as though people should keep it to themselves, but it is striking how strongly I react in my mind.

just my own example

Past: I think about it a lot the same day, but it quickly stop thinking about it.

Present: I tend to live in the present

Future: Don't think about the future all that much, except on the rare occasion I set a goal for myself.

In terms of the Myers Briggs personality test, I have pretty much no aspects of the Feeler (F), I do not feel sorry for people and I make all of my decisions very logically. I am almost completely a T.

This is a trait that I absolutely turns me off in the other sex. She basically must be an F or I just become uninterested. Even though I may scoff at her F statements as being stupid, I realize that I may secretly appreciate them. Maybe I have an appreciation for how friendly these people often are. I love someone who is able to get passionate about her interests and such. Also, perhaps I consider it is easier to "manipulate" these peoples emotions.

I quit watching the game at that point but I saw on Espn that Ron Artest was ejected for fouling Pau Gasol.

I watched the replay on youtube. It is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. He went through the ball and Pau's arms. Thats not even a flagrant foul, even in the regular season. Its just a hard foul, it not Artest's fault that Pau went down after his weak drive to the basket. Maybe a flagrant 1 if the officials are calling the game extra tight. I am not a fan of either team, but that absolutely made me sick.

I slept from 2 am to 5 am and then had some really crappy sleep from 7 - 8. I was tired all of today and passed out in my bed from 7:15 to 11:15 pm. I obviously wont be able to sleep for a while. So my plan is to study for my finals until 3 am and then sleep till 10:30 (when I have to wake up). Thanks for any answers, I am just bored and pissed.

I knew this girl liked me for about a month or more, I was not too sure about her. I like her as a friend and would definitely date her if she lost about 15 pounds. I am in college and she is one year older than I. She is very popular, I am not so much.

I was over there a week and a half ago for a party and I was wasted (like the third most drunk I have ever been in my life) and I ended up in her bed. I am not sure exactly what happened but I believe we had sex (and it probably sucked because I am sure I must have passed out and she was wasted on her birthday).

Anyway I felt really weird about it, and I didn't talk to her much over the week. So the next Friday, I ended up in bed with her exept I remember most of it and we did have sex. That night I was a ridiculous flirt and I used a lot of mixed messages that made her go crazy (she said I confused her, which is basically the most amazing thing a girl could say to me who I was flirting with) before we went up to her bedroom.

So I felt a little better after this night and I felt like I should at least talk to her a little more. But then on Monday her facebook status said "possibly I am falling for you." Now I just feel very weird. And she has started texting me.

So here is my problem. I dont want our relationship to go too far (especially since we are two weeks from the end of school) but I do not want to hurt her feelings. And I still like hanging out at her place

So my solution is to lead her on but very slowly for two more weeks until it is time to leave.

And yes you can call me selfish and give me other titles ... but I am asking for a reasonable way to handle this.

I have had problems lifting recently reaching a sort of plateau that has been very frustrating for me. It has been 4 months since I have put any time into cardio and I think it could benefit me on my lifts. I have decided to take time off and do some cardio. This week and maybe another half of a week, I am doing intense sprinting and other explosive cardio to try to increase my endurance (concerning short periods of time like lifting) significantly. Whenever I resume lifting, I do not want to interfere with my lifts too much; is twice a week enough to keep my cardiovascular strength?

How did Arizona make the tournament?

There is no argument for Arizona except that they were a storied program. There are three mid-majors that had much better resumes that Zona.

How did Wake receive a 4 seed? This team was number 2 in the ACC and they get a 4 while Syracuse somehow receives a 3. There is no excuse for their seeds not to be flipped.

I was around my relatives who are very religious Lutherans and religious topics often come up . They often seem to have a negative view of other religions, especially my grandmother. I try to not talk at all so I won't offend them (but I dont see how one religion can be more correct than another). Also it really annoys me when people give credit to God for something they accomplished because it really makes no sense (but thats just a little side-note rant). Just curious on your feelings and also wondering if you subscribe to a particular religion.

This question is not necessarily about if you believe in God or gods.

Explain a little why or why not.

Do you know why it doesnt quite make sense?

I just hear it all the time from politicians.
