Open Question: My personality and looks?

I never thought I'd do this, but being single can make you feel crappy. I'm 15. I play guitar, cook, watch (and quote) fantasy/comedy movies, listen to classic rock... I have blue eyes if you can't tell and a teal hair streak, I wear natural makeup and neutral colored-clothes. I never wear skinny jeans or studded belts, no designer anythings, I just want to be down-to-earth. I'm pretty silly at times to lighten the mood and get some laughs, but I need to sing to release my stress. I have a very hard time saying "no" to people. Others will always be put before myself.

Open Question: I'm a 28 yr old Ambivert, I'm a crazy blend of introversion/extroversion. What career should I have?

I enjoy being alone during stressful situations (like my kids screaming in my ears, a big task needs to get done and I have someone watching over me, public speaking and delivering a "selling speech", ect) but I also enjoy being around people in relaxing situations (like birthday parties, carnivals, movies, ect). I can think of jobs that would be cool like Accounting, Computer Programming, Math Teacher/Tutor, Small Business Owner, Restaurant Cook, and Web Development but I'm scared to go to school for any of them because of the high risk of failing because I'm an ambivert and I seem to have no control over when I'm introverted or extroverted. I'm also scared to have responsibility, every time I do, I end up getting held accountable for something I felt was out of my control or I forgot because I have a terrible memory. Any advice would be helpful. more

Open Question: Is it becoming more than friends between us?

We've been close friends for a year at university, and recently we've got closer since we saw each other with other friends in a small summer get-together. Nothing happened but afterwards since we've parted again, for about a week since, we've been talking by msn, facebook and texts more and more. We talk alot about things we want to do next year, she's going to get me to cook for her alot, every time I joke about letting her down, the amount of times i have to cook goes up and up. I'm also going to teach her the piano. We both want to spend more time together. Cooking and spending time together, but i would of thought 'just friends' would have had other friends being mentioned and plans more for the whole group kinda thing? No? Anyway, she was going out with someone last couple of terms but broke up when university ended. We weren't as close when she was with this other guy, but still friends. I never told her why and we've both put the less hanging out thing behind us. Back to the present and we're both looking forward to spending time tog. I'm texting her alot at her request (inc. morning texts) , we have nicknames for each other: silly private names, I call her 'my girl' or similar by text and she seems to like it, she'll text me for company not as if she has anything really to say. One text tonight (I've just said that I probably won't be in Soton at the same time as her so we probably couldn't see each other down there.) She wants to meet up some other time: " Damn, don't think I can do friday the 10th - ### and #### are taking me to ironbridge You free any other time? We can always go out sometime in freshers if not" I’m gonna text her today during her train journey for company. We said earlier: Me: "Yeah, drop me a text later when you're on the train then my girl. X" Her: "Will do ma boy" I love her, we know each very well and this feels like something new. What do you think? Still friends or something more? She's so genuine, beautiful, playful, great to be around, someone I truly get along with. It now feels like something new. more

Open Question: Wedding reception venues near Portland, ME?

Hello all, My fiance and I are having our wedding mid December of this year and are having trouble finding a reception hall. We don't have a huge budget and were lucky enough to have a cousin offer to do our catering for us. This means that we need a hall that has a large enough kitchen to cook for 120 guests and that actually allows outside catering. We are getting married just outside Portland, Me and would rather not have our guests drive more than 30 minutes to the reception site. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. more

Open Question: Giving my brother the silent treatment...?

This is REALLY long, so don't complain if you don't want to read it. I'm 17 and my brother is 15. Our parents are divorced and we live with my mom, her husband, and his two daughters. We don't see my dad very often, so I guess it's true that my brother didn't have a strong male influence for a while. But he is quite possibly the most disrespectful person I have ever met. He talks to everyone like they're stupid, especially my mom. He think he knows everything and that everyone else in the world is just an idiot. So, he will tell me and my mom ALL the time that we "have no idea what we're talking about." It's okay that he does it to me, I think, but I really don't like that he talks to my mom like that. He doesn't obey anything my mom tells him to do. He constantly complains and screams and throws a fit. And my mom can't do anything. He's a big kid and she's a small woman, and if she were to pop him in the mouth or spank him, he would definitely retaliate. He seems to think he's entitled to everything. He think he's king. He's always demanding that my mom come to him whenever he says. He tells her what to do and expects her to do it. Most of the time, he expects food to be made and served for him, rather than doing it himself. He tells her to shut up and listen to him all the time. He always insults and starts fights with people. He calls me names all the time and always verbalizes how much he hates my mom's husband and his two daughters. They're not bad people either. But he has no consideration for other people's feelings. Yesterday, he was yelling at my mom and I told him to stop and he started screaming and getting into my face. So I smacked him in the face, which I really shouldn't have done, but I couldn't help it. So then he pushes me into the stove(which was on, because my mother was cooking) and then he says "I sware to god, next time I will punch you in the face." And that's not the first time he's hit me. And he's a looot bigger than me, as my mom points out all the time. He never apologizes and always expects people to get over it. So one day he can call you an idiot and 5 minutes later, expect you to be well over it. The funny thing is, even though we don't see our father very much at all, he acts JUST like hin. When my parents were together, my dad was just like thsi(except he wasn't physically abusive.) But I wasn't affected by my parents splitting in the way that he was and I'm actually a really calm, nice kid. I know he needs therapy and my mom says she knows, but nothing happens. So I'm just going to ignore him until he starts talking to me like I'm a human being. I've tried so many times to reach out to him, but he's just a jerk. As a matter of fact, the only person in the house he actually talks to and carries out regular conversations with is me. No one else wants to talk to him because he's so mean. So I haven't uttered a word to him for about 2 days. I just don't know how effective it's going to be. And more importantly, I just don't know what else to do about him. If you read, thanks. I just neeed help! more

Open Question: What can I use overcooked potatoes and carrots for?

I cooked a couple of chickens in a crock pot yesterday, then when they were done I took them out and put some potatoes, carrots and onions in the drippings to cook, but I forgot about them and the cooked overnight. Now I have some overcooked potatoes and carrots that aren't very appetizing by themselves. The potatoes are sort of creamy, I guess they absorbed a lot of the chicken fat, and the carrots have the texture of cooked carrots but they just taste like chicken. Is there something I can use them in so they don't go to waste? more

Open Question: Does anyone use a recipe/cookbook software? One that comes with a disk and you can add your...?

...own recipes also?What do you like about it also the cons? Is it easy to use and add your own recipes too it? That is what I am looking for is a recipe software that I can add my own 'scraps of recipe papers' too and possibly make a cookbook of all of them.I use allrecipes and I also use Rachael Rays website and recipes. But I find that sometimes it is hard to find something I have used before in online sites since I use more than one site. I am thinking of one to buy from a store and put on my computer then I can transfer if necessary to another one later in case I don't have internet available, also is a reason. I have had one suggestion for 'Now Your Cooking' but that one seems too much like Master Cook and I did not like that, I found it too frustrating and difficult to use. I have it.Would love to hear what you have done with all your 'favorite family recipes' and how you keep them organized to find quickly. I am trying to get better organized so need some help! I am using Windows XP now more

Open Question: I'm eating healthy, I ate dinner just then but I feel like I'm starving and tired. Why?

I cooked just chicken and onion and after I finished I felt tired and still hungry. Why? I didn't eat a small portion. It was enough, one whole chicken breast. I'm not allergic because I've been eating chicken all my life. When I eat heaps, like 2-3 plates and get extremely full, I don't feel tired or hungry. Is it because my body is not used to this portion, though it is enough for me? more

Open Question: Why is it that most of the Latino eateries I have tried are so terrible?

I have lived in Westchester,NY and have visited Long Island frequently. As the Latino population has exploded in the past 20 years, there have been a lot more Latin American restaurants. The so called "good ones" are mediocre at best and exceedingly expensive , and the rest, are just plain horrible. Judging by the food they serve, you'd think that they just pulled some hobos on the street and asked them to cook for spare changes. The meats and veggies are always cooked to death but still tough as hide, there's mostly no subtle seasoning or decent flavoring, and as far as the appearance of the food, well, fuhgetaboutit....is it the culture in these countries(Mexico, El Salvatore, Guatemala, Ecuador..) that they don't value fine cuisine, or is it that the ones who know how to cook are all back home? more

Open Question: Is this still just friends or is this starting to be something more?

Open Question: What are some good, quiet toys that a four-year-old could play with independently?

The child cannot yet read. His fourth birthday is coming up. What would be most useful is something he could simply pick up on his own when the adults are cooking or cleaning, without having anyone set it up for him.Legos - yes, good idea. Actually, this child has the large type of legos, and doesn't seem to enjoy them. I have known two year olds who were able to get them into interesting shapes, and enjoy themselves doing it, but this child seems a little behind, if not in his actual skills, then in his confidence. more

Open Question: My boyfriend says he needs space?

My boyfriend (who is a gentleman) and I have been dating for almost two years. We've been best friends before we started dating. Right now we both are in the 11th grade. During mid summer, we've been doing lots of hot stuff, such as anal sex, fingering, humping (cuddling and kissing not included), but we've also done it before. But during the last week of summer, he started getting busy with his relatives and his youth church camp and we didn't get to see each other, we would only text or talk on the phone when he has time. When school began, he wanted to have a talk with me. He explained and told me since he had his church camp, he has been thinking about what we've been doing with hot stuff. He told me that at first he gets excited with all the hot stuff, but then he starts to feel like its wrong and sour to do so. He also told me when he replied to my "I love you" text messages (during the last week of summer), he said he realized that it feels like those words just come out automatically and he doesn't know if they're actually true or not (because of what we've been doing) nowadays. He told me he felt bad because he thinks he loves me for my body, not for who I am and he also told me he wants to be very faithful to me. He also said that I have always, always been financially dependent on him all the time, and during the summer when we go out with friends or when we both see each other. He also told me that I've been changing and annoying him and his best friend (who also happens to be one of my friends). I always change their plans whenever I go out with them and I overact... He told me at first he was planning to have a break up, but he changed his mind because he thought the problem was TOO minor to have such a BIG decision. The things that he said, are actually true... He felt really really bad because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. And I felt so ashamed of myself when he told me about this... I asked him if he still wanted to be together with me, he said yes.. And then I asked him if he can give me another chance. He said doesn't know, he needs space to clear his mind and handle things.... He's pretty busy too... he has a strict dad, and he has been pretty busy with community activities and home... Since I haven't told him how I felt, I didn't want to call him or come and talk to him, because he will get annoyed. So I wrote him an understanding letter to him to tell him about my thoughts, how sorry I am.. and how I still want to be his girlfriend. I told him that I still love him and I told him that I felt so heart broken-ed and ashamed of how I've been towards him... I told him that I'll wait for his answer and also that there are still lots of things I would love to do with him, such as picnics, beach parties, hiking, going to the hills, cooking a meal, baking... etc, and him having to escort me to my Cotillion Ball when I turn 18... Right now, we're taking a break.. and it just hurts me because of this.. I don't know if he'll eventually break up with me... I don't want him to, but if he does, then I guess I'll have to take it... Right now I'm going out with my own friends and doing my own stuff. I miss my boyfriend. Ever since we had the talk, he's been quiet and serious at school, sometimes I see him looking at me. And he also smiled at me.. I want to know what you think will likely happen.... Help...? .... :]Well... girls in his church aren't very good... most of them are taken, most are not his type.Well... girls in his church aren't very good... most of them are taken, most are not his type. more

Open Question: Possible food poisoning?

Today I woke up with a very strong pain in my stomach, so much that I can barely stand up straight, I just vomited a few minutes ago and it seemed like I was vomiting black chunks of something. I also woke up to find that I had urinated during my sleep (very embarrassing, never happened before) Now I feel very nauseas as if I'm going to pass out, does this sound like food poisoning or anything more serious?

Right now, we're taking a break.. and it just hurts me because I've changed to a kind of bad girlfriend that I wasn't like at the beginning ... I don't know if he'll eventually break up with me... I don't want him to, but if he does, then I guess I'll have to take it... Right now I'm going out with my own friends and doing my own stuff. I miss my boyfriend. Ever since we had the talk, he's been quiet and serious at school.. Help?I am not always up his a55, there are lots of times I don't call him, or see him or go out with him. Its just that doing the summer, when we see each other, we did those things. I've seen him like only 6 to 8 times during the long summer.And we were not done talking yet the time when I gave him the letter. The letter was just ONE TIME... it was just to let him know how I feel and that I respect him. more

Open Question: What do u think of this married man? Do u think he is interested in me the least? PLS HELP ME?

There is this guy i saw him at work once in a meeting and the next day i was told to meet him for business. I was attracted to him from the first meeting because there was so many ppl from my dept and he was making a lot of eye contact with me. The next business meeting i was told to meet him because my manager doesnt like the way he talked to him. I went to his office and told him we need ur help with this business, i knew from the start he can't help us(and my manager is nonsense) so he told me sorry i dont deal with so and so. So i didnt want to leave and wanted conversation going, i saw he is wearing a ring. I was like explain to me what u do as i am trainee. He said i will send u by email. I was like can u give me now? he said ok i will print for u. So he asked how old r u? i was like 24. He gave me the paper and i kept talking. Anyways i told him i resigned which is true. He gave me his cell no. That was a month ago. I proposed to have dinner two weeks ago and he agreed. We had dinner together and i noticed his wedding ring was not there. Even tho i am very much attracted to him i didnt want to look desperate. So I kept the topic general and there was a couple eating next to us but the shock and horror was that they kept staring at us. He asked me why the hell are they looking at us, and i was like most probably they are free and are weird ppl but he told me may be because of our age gap which most probably was the case because he is 49. I dismissed that and said well i think they shud mind their business. Overall the dinner was ok and he paid for it and the funny thing was he didnt even shake hands with me or anything. I am going to another city were i will work and my sister is not well so i will be with her. I asked him if he was married by text msg(he told me to guess) i knew 100% he is married coz of the ring at his office so i said may be single or married and he said no i am married. So i met him five days ago for coffee. Again under the pretext to give him a book he likes it and i have it with me. I was late for 30 minutes, anyways we were having coffee and asked me to eat and said he have migraine so he doesnt want to eat, i told him i dont want to eat as well. He told me to take some ice cream or sweets, and i was like are u eating ice cream and he said no and i was like well i dont like ice cream really(which is true). So i asked for water and orange and he asked for orange as well. He opened the water for me and pour the water in the glass. We were talking for one hour and he asked me do u like sushi( i hate sushi) but i was like yeah, can u cook? he said yes, so i was like how come u never cooked for me? He grinned and said i have some visitors for a week now so after that i will cook for u. I was like well i am leaving to another city after 3 days but when i am back that is after 3 months then may be and he was like yes sure. So while sitting we discussed about work and we had something in common that most of the staff are total shamble. And i noticed again he wasnt wearing his ring. After we chatted one hour we left to the parking and i gave him the book and some chocolates(i got the chocolates as a gift from my friend), however, i dont eat chocolates so i gave him and it was really expensive chocolates with deco and some books of mine which he borrowed. So he told me thank u so much, when we meet i will give u the books, thanks a lot and that was that. why did he remove the ring both two nights i met him( does that mean he is little interested). And do you think he knows i am attracted to him even though i never told him? Pls help me Plus today I sent him my pic and asked him if I look ill(cause my friends n mother) thinks I do and he answered me with a text saying " forget it u look good" So i called him to say good bye today as im relocating to another city: he tells me sorry katy i didnt give u much attention as i was busy at work and i said it is okay; he then said i want u to join a gym;;;;;; at that point i went along with him and said yeah i am planning to be skinny and he answered yeah i love skinny girls; he went on to say katy i want u to go to the gym everyday and after 3 months i will see you and say wow katy great figure; even tho i was gobsmacked i went a long with his talk and said yeah i will definitely join the gym n go everyday: he said yeah u will wait for me in that city? and i wanted to say wtf but i said yeah i will: So now just wondering to be honest; do u think he is interested in me the least or attracted to me? I dont want rude answers: just different opinions: thanks more
