2 AnswersDesktops5 years agoForeskin will not retract?
I'll make this quick and to the point. Yes I have considered getting circumcised. Currently, I'm seeking other options due to money issues and that I rather just leave it alone. My doctor refuses to give me the foreskin cream for stretching for his own reasons, none of which I believe are backed by actual fact, just his own opinion. Three years ago I was able to retract, while erect, it about an inch or two past the glands with no issues at all. Now it wont even reveal my head completely. I don't have issues while flaccid, although it doesn't go past my glands. The tip of my foreskin has been red for a while (2 years or so). I read that it could be a bacterial infection, but I'm not sure (note that my doctor(s) have never said anything about it and said I was healthy down there). Could this have anything to do with tightness? I thought that this redness could have to do with masturbating too much or too violently (not in my case just in case). No it's not a STD(I). I'll have another doctor look at the possible infection. If the tightness is just Phimosis, I'll get the cream or start saving up for the surgery. Any answers are appreciated. Please keep your religion and pro/anti circumcised opinions out of your answers. Thanks!
2 AnswersMen's Health8 years agoBleeding my cars cooling system?
It's a '95 Mazda MX5 (Miata). At this point, I think there is some air caught in there. I had the thermostat replaced but no difference with my fluctuating temperatures (20-40 second overheats then back to normal operating temperature). They happen once a drive and sometimes re-occur on the same day if the car has been sitting for a while. I bled the system about 5 days ago and the problem vanished but it popped up again today. The system has been bled about 3 times now. This usually solves the problem for about 3-5 days tops. My mechanic thinks it may be a wiring issue with the actual temp gauge itself, but me bleeding the system shows that could be related to the cooling system. Could someone make a step by step guide for me? Preferably from taking off the radiator cap and starting the engine all the way to putting the cap back on for bleeding (just incase I'm doing it wrong). Thanks!!!! A few additional qs:
1. Could the thermo be stuck?
2. Could the thermo housing be beyond it's last leg?
3. Should I try running the car with out the thermo and see if the problem continues?
4. Could the actual hoses from the cooling system be bad or need to be re-attached?
PS: It's NOT a blown head gasket. I've had a few mechanics look at it just for that purpose.
Thanks!!!!!
2 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs9 years agoHow much is my laptop worth?
My buddy wants to buy my old MacBookPro off of me. It's got moderate wear from use and slight (VERY SLIGHT) body damage. It's an '06 and I upgraded it to 2 GB of RAM (which was max at the time). It doesn't have a battery and the AC adapter is heavily worn (still works though) but he said he has a new adapter so it didn't matter. I still have all the disks ect. Is $200 a fair price or could I go a bit higher, lower? Internally the computer runs great. Thanks for your suggestions.
6 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks9 years agoMy car's engine is overheating?
Hey guys! I just need a third opinion (other than mine and the mechanic's that I will be calling tomorrow). So about a month ago, my '95 Mazda MX5/Miata was eating oil like a mad man and eventually died. So I got a used 40k engine from this shop that does rebuilds, replacements, ect. At first it was all good. Suddenly the engine seemed to go about half way towards the H on the temp gauge.
I was in 5th (the car is manual tran btw) gear on the highway. So I put the clutch in and put her in to neutral and just let the car roll for about 10-15 seconds. Shifted back in to 5th and drove it anyways. About 10 seconds or so the temp gauge went back to neutral. My first thoughts were that the sensors are screwed up. Took it to the mechanic and he said that my radiator was on it's last leg. I waited about 4 days (didn't drive it) and then got a new radiator and had the temperature and radiator sensors replaced. The problem dis-appeared for a few days, all of sudden BAM! It happened again tonight. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? I had a new clutch installed the day of the emgine transplant, but I kind of doubt that would be the issue.
I find it very strange that the temp gauge just goes back to normal. Before the new radiator, this problem occurred only once per drive. Same story tonight. Once that temp gauge goes to neutral, it usually stays there or goes slightly towards the C. Not too mention that I can red line my car in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and run in 4rth at about 5-7 RPMS after this had occurred and the temperature never increases past the neutral point. I obviously can't red-line fifth unless I feel like getting pulled over, so that's a unknown factor. I have hit 100mph in fifth though before (was on a track).
Sorry for the long story. Help! Not trying to be an ***, but please make your answer detailed and know what you're talking about. Thanks!
6 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs9 years agoMy mx5 may be dead, any advice?
I'm in a pickle right now. I was driving her around last night and the engine died on me. The guy that took a look at it this morning said that I was out of oil and that the bearing in the crankshaft was screwed up and may have caused damage. I'm still waiting to here from them on the price range and what actually needs to be done. I had it in a month back for a broken spark plug, but that apparently wasn't the problem (I heard clicking and he thought it was a broken piece of a plug in there). So I was watching my oil pressure via the dipper since my gauge is lying to me. Help me out please.
1. Should just abandon the car? (It's eating oil anyway or has a bad leak somewhere)
2. If I were to abandon it, could I sell the car with a "broken" engine (how much around do you think, everything is in excellent condition but the engine >.>)?
3. Should I get it fixed and deal with the oil issue, assuming that the car is eating oil, since it's an old car (1995).

5 AnswersRap and Hip-Hop9 years agoGetting over my first gf?
It's an extremely long story but I will make it short. So about a month ago, I went on a break with me gf and it just led to a break up. It was mutual and we are still really good friends. We dated for about 10 months or so. I never really had time in the past to have a relationship so I'm experiencing this at a late age. I must say, it's better experiencing now rather than at a less mature age. I was 18 at the time and I recently turned 19. So, no I don't think it's the end of the world and yes I know there are a lot of other girls. The main problem I'm having is that she and I sometimes catch each other checking each other out. Sometimes we even lock eyes for a short moment. On my part, I sometimes just want to do "relationship" things with her. I have complete control over this but sometimes my mind just says "hold her hand" and other stuff like that. When I'm alone, sometimes my mind runs wild with memories of her and I. I don't want to cut communication with her because we are actually really good friends and I feel that letting this end or create tension in our friendship is just childish. The part that misses her just wants her personality, morals, and beauty back (yes I mean her body). The thing I miss the most about the relationship was that sex never happened...well, the bee never went into any type of bird.....but we did do other things but "sex" never happened. I just miss the girl that would lie her head on my chest while we watched tv and I would play with her hair until she fell asleep.
1. Could the eye contact mean something? Sometimes it lasts up to a minute.
2. How to I control my mental urges?
3. Since a part of me wants her back, should I go for that or respect the fact that she doesn't have time in her life for a bf right now?
Thanks! Oh and sorry for the thought stream.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoTaking a break with my gf?
Serious answers please. Here's the situation. My gf is feeling like overly stressed with everything and feels like she just needs time to herself to figure everything out. I fully respect that, yet it hurts. I feel like NOT having her in my life is more distracting than having her in my life. Mainly because it's like up in the air right now. Both of us have very busy lives and neither of us wanted like super committed relationship (like hanging out everyday ect.). We've been together for almost 10 months now and we love each other. We both agreed that we would get back together during the summer or sooner as long as nothing is in the way of it. I guess I just need someway of dealing with the side of me that misses her. The other side just tells me this all the time, "She'll miss you; just watch her come running back to you after a month or so. It'll work out." Her and I made it clear that we DONT want to break up at this point because there's still hope for us. Her and I agreed to stay faithful to each other during this time. I know her and she knows me, we're not gonna crack and go with other people during this time. So don't mention that as an answer. Suggestions? Tips?

2 AnswersOther - Music9 years agoMy gf and her purity ring, what do I do?
Okay look, I know exactly what the ring symbolizes and all but there's something that I need to address here. Her and I get into extremely heated make out sessions, rolling all over the place ect. Her and I have so much passion for each other and we enjoy holding each other and looking into each others eyes for long periods of time. Sometimes I feel like it's gonna happen while we are making out.
I'm Christian and I fully respect the ring, but sometimes I get the feeling that if a couple has so much passion for one another why not take it to the next step and make love? I'm currently going through that feeling again and to be honest, I feel kind of ashamed of myself because my personal values and religion tell me to respect the fact that she wants to wait, and I do, but my heart is telling me otherwise.
In no way am I the kind of guy that is after sex. Hell, I searched for 4 years of my teenage life to find the right girl for me, if that isn't proving that I care for the girl with my heart and soul, then I don't know what is.
Any suggestions on how to rid of this feeling?
What should I do concerning sex? Her and I have talked about it, but more in general not pertaining to our relationship.
I'm extremely lost in my already very confusing life, any help is greatly appreciated.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoHad a dream about breaking up, but she wasn't herself, what does it mean?
Ok so, strong relationship going here with her for about a month now. Like really strong, we have so much passion for each other. Last night I had this dream that I broke up with her. Basically what happened is that she went back to her ex (which makes no sense because he was douche bag and cheated on her and is long distance). During the process her whole entire personality just flipped and she turned into a *****. She never told me why she broke up with me and when I called her she just kept on saying like "sweetie," "baby," and "honey" as I was yelling into the phone asking why she was leaving me and she just kept on saying those words and then just hung up on me. Then I woke up.....
So...in any case. WTF!?!?!
I have the feeling this dream may have been triggered by a discussion I had last night with two of my friends that just broke up. Could've that done the trick? Am I just worried about losing her? Do I care for her a lot? I rarely have dreams. There's a chance I will be leaving next year, but she is aware of this and knew about it before we became a couple, so that's not a problem for her or me.
Help!!!
1 AnswerDream Interpretation1 decade agoIs it a good time to start french kissing with my gf?
I've been with my gf lets just say it's been a month now. We've already broken the physical barrier (as in holding hands, cuddling, and other non sexual forms of touching). We have kissed 3 or 4 times now. Yeah it may seem a bit soon, but her and I seemed to just click the moment we started seeing each other (we've had a long friendship, but it didn't really develop until a year or so ago). We are very intimate at times. LIke when we cuddle it sometimes lasts for about an hour and a half. So now to my question, is it time? What hints should I start with? Slightly opening my mouth while kissing, or should I just go for it and touch her lips with my tongue and see if she opens up? I've read other answers to this question and people have said to talk to her about it, but that seems kinda awkward, "what do u think about french kissing?" See? Any suggestions are appreciated.
1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoKeeping the relationship strong through the summer?
I know there are already similar questions, but mine is a bit different. Here's a brief summary:
I started to date this girl that I have known for ever, but I wasn't attracted to her until last year. She broke up with her bf a couple of months ago. I gave her sometime and then made my move. We went on a double date which somewhat flawed because my friends date didn't show up.... Regardless, her and I still had fun. About 2 weeks ago I invited her to my house to go to the beach and use the pool and then get a bite to eat. She enjoyed it and so did I. She showed all of the signs of liking me, finding me interesting, and flirting. I'm apparently the first one to ask her out and it is my first serious relationship.
Now the question:
I'm leaving for the summer this year and may not return next year (won't know till the end of the summer). I'm taking it slowly with her because of this. Now if I do come back, is there anyway to keep her "wanting me?" I have her number and I'm friends with her on fb. I'm leaving in 3 months and I see her on Mondays every week for class. I also invited her to my bday party next week.
Main thing I'm worried about is that I will kinda fade out of her mind because I won't physically be there and we will lose this closely bonded relationship that I want to evolve to into something a bit more serious. She's my first love. She's got the looks, the personality, and the soul. She's simply beautiful in every way.
So how can I keep this going even though I wont physically be there?
Any suggestions would help.
1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoHelp me out here. (In need of relationship help.)?
Okay to make a extremely long story short, I like this girl that I've know for like 8 years, but I recently started to like her about a year and a half ago. I invited her over today to hang out. She stayed longer than I expected (good thing right?). We didn't make love, because we are just friends and she has a purity ring; we didn't kiss yet either. That's normal though, only the 2nd time being together outside of our classes (we are both ballet dancers...I'm straight. (duh?)).
So we talked about everything, basically what we think about religion, music, ect. So we ended up talking about grinding...which I find is a sad excuse for "dancing." She said she did it for her first time during her formal and that a lot of guys were around her and she said it was weird. So first question, should I let this just fly, since she said it was basically uncomfortable? I told her I find grinding to be disrespectful to woman and that it just promotes the idea that women or objects. She responded with a "Awww." Idk, I think I kinda just said that, but when I think about it, I do agree with myself.
Now, I'm going away for the summer, and there's chance I might not come back next year. So, should I take it slower and just do group things with her instead of only hanged out with her alone?
If I do come back next year, she's 16 and I'm going to be 18 this Sunday. Her and I are a year apart, but like weird birthdays, her birthday is earlier than mine. So can I still date her legally? We're not gonna do anything since she has purity ring and I respect that.
She's not shy around me and I'm not around her. She flirted with me the whole time with the most classic technique girls use (playing with there hair and constant eye contact). When ever we are in dance and we are doing partnering class its like I'm in another world. Even when I just talk or look at her I have left Earth. I have the upmost respect for her and I treat her like a real woman (I'm very old school, ya know opening the door, paying for her food, ect.).
Yeah the purity ring doesn't really bother me. I hate to admit this (God forgive me), but my initial plan was just to have sex her. But I have developed feelings for her and I have no idea if that initial plan was just a joke that I told one of my friends, but it seems like a joke now. I'm not super religious, but I'm moderate. I'm still a virgin, but I rather wait and make love with someone that I actually care about. She's one of those girls that's beautiful and intelligent, which is what I like (ignorant people just stress me).
So along with those other questions above, is this love, like, or just a beautiful friendship, or any other ways you wanna put it?

I'd rather not look through albums on iTunes and buy CDs just to find what I don't need, if you know what I mean. Thanks in advance!
3 AnswersDancing1 decade agoComputer dj with records?
Im wondering if there are any systems that plug into the computer via usb and allows you to use actual records for scratching. So what I mean is, the records will be used as the "controllers" but no sound will come from the records, instead, the cuts would trigger mp3 files or samples that would be loaded through a program. I've looked around, but I want to cut with actual records, not just some fake plastic records. Anyone know of anything like this? I'm on a Mac by the way (10.6.4). Thanks!!
