I still cant get over my ex-girlfriend. why?
she broke up with me 6 months ago, and i thought i’d be over it by now but im not. i literally have her on my mind everyday and it just hurts me so much. she dumped me because she thought i was only into her for the sex, which was not true. she was a virgin, and i didn’t know she was feeling uncomfortable having sex multiple times a week. i was pretty dumb, and i wish we never had sex so i could show her how much she meant to me.

i tried my hardest to explain to her this, that i didnt mean to treat her like that and didnt know she was uncomfortable, but she refused to take me back. even 6 months later when we talked about the break up and my feelings for her (after starting a friendship a month and a half ago) she says she cant be in a relationship with me. says she doesn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone. i can tell she is serious, cause she said the same thing after our break up and she still hasn’t been with any guys since then. well she hasn’t talked to me since then, and i dont think she wants to be my friend anyone despite saying we’re still friends after that talk.

i just really cared so much for this girl, i loved her. i been dating a lot lately, been talking to girls. even had this one girl i talked to all night up until morning, but even then it still made me miss my ex so much. i want to stop remembering her. i keep my mind occupied, been going out almost everyday, started an instrument talked to old friends. everything i could possibly do to keep my mind busy, and she is in my every thought. will i ever get her out of my head?

You have the most common disease known to man, one-itis. You keep think that she is the only one this and the only one that. This happens to a lot of guys. The cure is to date a ton more women. I went through something very similar and I cured it the same way.

You need to get back on the field and realize what is possible. Playing music is cool, but something tells me you only write songs about her. That’s not gonna cure you. It makes you addicted to sadness as it becomes your muse.

So you need to decide to change you life and start taking action. You can read all about my journey on my blog. I posted the link below if you’re interested.

Yeah…it stinks. I know. Trust me. I’ve been there man. But it gets better. You’ll find another person who’ll make you forget about her. I know this seems crazy now but when you find her, you’ll see.

My friends all said I wouldn’t get over my ex until I met someone better. I was with him for almost 3 years. I still have days where I get sad about it, but making new friends has helped a lot.

Yes, you will eventually lose the feelings for her. It’s not like she’s the only girl in the world. There is bound to be someone that will fit your criteria. You just have to give other girls a chance. That’s all.

i’m so sorry hun:( i wasn’t going to read this cuz it’s so long, but the more i read it the more i felt for you cuz i’ve been through that myself. i’m sorry babe but you just have to give it time. it sucks i know, but i promise that things will turn out ok. just give her space and deal with your feelings instead of pushing them down. it really helped me to write it all down so i could get it out and deal with it. it won’t go away if you try to forget it. i’d suggest a notebook to write it in and then just let it heal.

Man, I know what you’re going through. Last may my girlfriend broke up with me and like you I couldn’t get her out of my head. Seeing her every single day(we live in a small town) hurt. I wanted to get over her, I thought I NEEDED to get over her. I ended up going out wit a different girl for a few months but ended up breaking her heart because I still wasn’t ready. I told her I still needed time to get over some one and she took it to mean there was another girl involved.. anyways, my first ex, the one I couldn’t get over, was there to comfort me about the break up. It took 8 months for her to realize that she did want me. maybe, your girl is getting there as well. Tell her how you still feel, if she’s anything like my girl, or most girls for that matter, she’ll give you a second chance.

When should I go to his flat and what will the signs be that he doesn't want to see me?
This question applies only to the men.

Met this guy who I think is called Steve Cullen from Ballymun in Mayo in Ireland before December outside a night club in Sligo where I was looking for the man who I was with in the nigtclub from Galway, so I asked if he knew him but he said no and we got talking. He said "Wait a second do I recognise you, you look kinda familiar, I said maybe at the Halloween party! "Maybe he said. I was dressed up as catwomen in the Clarence!. Ya thats you he said. I followed him that Wednesday night because I thought he was getting taxi but then I realised that his home was near by so I said I was gonna get a taxi home. "Come in for a few minutes, so I did, we talked and I liked him and that was the first time I spoke to him, then he was tired and he lay on the sofa but we still talked and he asked me to stay the night there in his flat but I said no I don’t do that when I first meet a guy but he explained that it would save me getting a taxi and I would get more hours of sleep because it was almost 3 am at that point. "Fair enough he said, I asked him to walk me to the taxi so he did and he was disappointed that I didn’t stay longer, anyway I forgot my umbrella. "Great he said you forgot your umbrella, now you will have to come back, its great that he left somethingf in my flat so it delays you from leaving too soon. Went back to the flat and we cuddled on the coach and he put his arms around me as I relaxed from walking back and forward making him nervous, we talked and he didn’t force sex on me, he didn’t request it or hint or even try to kiss me or ask for a kiss, he just wanted me to relax beside him and he liked my body warmth against him. Got a taxi home which he was dreading coz I didn’t stay any longer than an hour after being on the sofa or coach for an hour.

Saw him again near my breakoff for the christmas holidays but he didn’t recognise me until I mentioned my costume on Halloween night and maybe more, then he asked me to come inside and appologised for not rembering me and for acting clingy and wanting me to stay the last night and he said I was right to go, after a while of talking he said before you go to the hairdressers could I have a kiss first please, I said no which he accepted and was okay with and responded "But there is an attraction, you do feel an attraction towards me, okay he said. Before I went I explained that I would love to go on a date with a man and he replied "We must go on a date in the future see what happens. What did he mean by that?. He said he would be around later if I wanna stop by again later.

I left a few of my belongings in his house and I am wondering when would be the best day to get them back? What signs should I look out for that he doesn’t want to see me or hear from me or me to see him?

---

Well, he didn’t remember you & he probably should’ve.."/ maybe you should just go over & get your things & just say goodbye… him not askin you on a date right then,.. is a sign that maybe he’s just not wantin a real relationship right not. i’d cherish what memories you had on his couch but move forward & find a guy that will immediatly wanna take you out and remembers you. )))))

Looking for some outside advice….10 points!?
Ok so here is the short form of my story.
I have a 3 month old baby and my bf and i are living together and raising our son together. Him and i have been toogether for almost 2 and a half years off and on.
Our relationship began rockey and my bf has never been affectionate or able to say he loves me. He has serious mama drama with his mother and other family issues that he has had all his life.
During my pregnancy my bf and i were better than we were ever before…almost on cloud 9. Than the baby was born and the xmas season is hard on my bf cause his mother is very mentally ill. He started abussimg me physcially and mentally and i left him and told him if he wanted to be with me and our son he needed to get some help. He has started therapy and has really improved and we have since moved back in together.
But i feel very insecure still in our relationship. He never tells me he loves me, i have to beg for hugs and kisses and i feel like he treats me like one of his buddies. I had a talk with him the other day about how i felt and he kept saying he does love me but i dont believe him i think he is trying to love me so he can be with me to raise our son together. I dont want to be in a loveless relationship and i dont know what to do. I am seeking counselling as well but that is taking a long time as i am on a waiting list.
I want to believe my bf that he truely does love me but i just cant see it. I have asked him to be more affectionate for the last 2 years and have seen no improvement. I feel that if he did love me he would be able to tell me and that he would respect the fact that i need more affection even if he is not an "affectionate guy".
I told him that one day he will want to ACTUALLY be in love and if he ever find it he will leave us. I dont want that to happen as i feel my son will be old enough to understand by than and resent his father like my bf resents his dad for doing that to his mom. I keep telling him we should end this before my son understands but he keeps telling me we are gonna make it work but i continue to feel unhappy.
Any oppinions on this are very much appreciated and if there is any advice you can give me on what i can do please let me know.
Thank you

Sometimes it can be a great thing to put in lots of hard work to make a relationship work for the sake of your child – but other times, it can be more damaging for the child than it would be to end it. If you’re able to actually make it work and have everyone come out happy, then bravo! But if you’re miserable in the relationship, and especially if there is abuse or a lack of love/affection, it will be a hostile environment in which to raise your child. Only you can decide which situation you’re in – but think it over very carefully. Good luck!
Schmeh | Feb 01, 2010

The bottom line here is that you’re not getting what you need from this relationship. Your concerns about how this is going to affect your son are also very valid – people learn how to relate to their life partners by watching their parents together. Maybe he really does love you, although it doesn’t sound like he does. Even then, your feelings count here too and this relationship is clearly damaging you. It’s great that he wants to help raise your kid but that doesn’t mean you have to do it as a couple.

My advice: break up, move out, and come to some sort of shared parenting arrangements that will suit you both.

Ex GF moved out of a house I stayed at and took all my stuff, what can I do?
Her and I and another female rented this house in California but my GF and I broke up and she stayed somewhere until i moved out. So i shipped stuff back to the Midwest where I am from and was going to come back to Cali to get my furniture and other things well this roommate, whether she is lying or not, told me my ex moved out 2 days ago and took all my stuff with her. Now I called the police and wanted to file charges, guess its hard since I am out of State, but they toy me around saying to contact States Attorney, but they tell me contact a Civil Attorney. How can she get away screwing another guy over after several years and run away with his stuff? How can the police not file charges against her or contact her about the matter? I don’t get California. Where I am from they will follow through investigations. I know, I should have gotten a Uhaul from the getgo, but couldn’t afford it. I wanted to wait until I get my tax returns. I have no contact with her, I don’t know her number, she changed it, rebounding with a new guy I gather.
I’ve called the police, they’re no help, they told me to contact a States Attorney they won’t do anything unless the police charged her with something which the dispatcher told me the police don’t like getting involved in stuff like that? lol, seriously? Then States attorney directed me to a civil attorney. All I want is police to contact her and tell her its my stuff and work something out.
So pretty much I am screwed. The only person who knows her number is the roommate. My ex is being all paranoid and has her emotional wall up, trying to erase me from her life which is odd if she was doing that, why take my furniture and other stuff of mine?

Get new stuff, the cost of finding her, filing a claim in her new state, than actually getting paid will supersede the cost of your original belongings.

Well u don’t have much to go on, the other room mate said she took it, but you yourself didn’t see her take it, so if the other person is willing to go to court with you, you can take it to court, but again you don’t have anything to work with, no Address nor phone number.. you may just want to write this one off as a lost dude..
.. | Feb 01, 2010

---

Although you owned that stuff, you left her in legal possession of it. So when she took it, it was technically not the crime of larceny. She does not, however, have a right to keep your stuff. You can sue her, in small claims or court, for civil damages under the theory of "conversion." You can also try to get the furniture itself back instead of damages, but it’s usually easier just to get the cash equivalent and buy new stuff.

But, before you can sue her, you have to find her. And if she’s stealing your furniture, maybe she doesn’t have much money to give you even if you win. It’s a bad situation, but there may not be a cost-effective way to get your stuff back.

why did god create humans with a reptilian brain?
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sumer_ anunnaki/reptiles/reptiles14.htm

The reptilian brain is the most ancient of the brains. It has two hemispheres, just like the neocortex, and it may be that they relate functionally to the left and right hemispheres of the neocortex. The reptilian brain consists of the upper part of the spinal cord and the basal ganglia, the diencephalon, and parts of the midbrain— all of which sits atop the spinal column like a knob in the middle of our heads.

It is thought to represent a fundamental core of the nervous system and derives from a form of mammal-like reptile that once ranged widely over the world but disappeared during the Triassic period having provided the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and mammals. All modern mammals have this reptilian complex, including humans.

At least five human behaviors originate in the reptilian brain. These have been denoted as isopraxic, preservative, re-enactment, tropistic, and deceptive. Without defining them, I shall simply say that in human activities they find expression in:

obsessive-compulsive behavior

personal day-to-day rituals and superstitious acts

slavish conformance to old ways of doing things

ceremonial re-enactments

obeisance to precedent, as in legal, religious, cultural, and other matters

responding to partial representations (coloration, "strangeness," etc.), whether alive or inanimate

and all manner of deception

Why is cross-breeding with feral dogs considered part of endangering a species?
In my opinion it has been for quite awhile now that cross-breeding with feral dogs should not be considered when looking at how or why an animal is endangered. If that is the only reason numbers are declining, I don’t think it should be marked as an endangered species. This is not including animals purposefully bred to wolves or dingos to produce hybrids as pets – I by no means support hybrids as pets, only as they exist in the wild. Animals live and choose by selection to pass on their genes to whomever they consider a worthy mate – if feral dogs are more successful in Ethiopia, it would be natural for an Ethiopian wolf to choose the dog as its mate versus another wolf who was doing poorly. The same situation can be applied to dingos and North American wolves. Species eventually move on and plenty of animals don’t even look the same today that they did 100 years ago – the negative affects of those animals breeding with the dogs is that in doing so they may become less wary of humans and become harmful to the communities that they live close to, but as for the wolves interbreeding with the dogs at all, that’s just a species moving on.

Would we call a variant of a particular bird species, say, a blue jay with a slightly lower crest than average, endangered and protect it if for some reason higher crests would advance the species and improve their chances of survival? In one hundred years as far as we know, blue jays could have considerably higher crests, but protecting those with lower crests and preventing them from accessing the gene giving them higher crests would simply cause them to lose their ability to survive as well as the higher crested blue jays.

Since that’s a bit smaller scale, I’ll give a larger scale example. Horses. If two separate horse herds developed in Mongolia over time, forming two different species, and then began interbreeding, would they both be considered endangered and prevented from breeding in order to save the two separate species? Or would it be allowed to continue on the pretense that the two horse breeds interbreeding actually gave them an advantage in their environment that the two separate breeds would not have?

Not that an entirely new species could be formed, but there could be changes to the species. The number of dingo populations are described noting only "pure" populations of dingos. However, few species should be considered completely pure. There are variations within every species, and because of those variations species may be allowed to advance, separate into completely new populations and so on, depending of course on environmental or other conditions. A species is defined using specific traits, and subspecies are decided amongst one another as using only a few different traits. Dogs, dingos, and most wolves are all of the genus Canis. Dogs, dingos, and most wolves are all of the same species, lupus. They are then defined as subspecies – dogs, Canis lupus familiaris, dingos, Canis lupus dingo, and wolves, Canis lupus lupus. The only separate species mentioned is the Ethiopian wolf, Canis simensis. However, even different species may be noted as having bred with each other, Canis rufus, the red wolf, and Canis latrans, the coyote, as well as various types of jackal and so on.

If a wolf breeds with a coyote, it may be noted that perhaps smaller animals are doing better within the region than larger animals, and it would be to the wolf’s benefit, or rather, the benefit of its offspring, that the parent would breed with a coyote rather than another pure wolf. Breeding with another so called pure wolf would mean that the offspring would still be rather large as opposed to shrinking slightly as they would with a coyote parent, and be denied the advantage of a smaller species.

So, after all this. Why would an animal of the Canis genus be considered endangered and then protected against cross-breeding with feral dogs if it might benefit the species overall?
Yes, it is an opinion that cross-breeding with feral dogs shouldn’t be considered endangering a species.

It’s shortened in the question. The long stuff is a bunch of examples.
And I am not talking about any particular case, it does not focus on any case. It is a general question.

Yikes. I’m not in the business of deciding what canines get to mount other canines. You seem impassioned by the matter. I suppose I would agree that imposing man’s will upon nature is sometimes ridiculous. I suspect it all comes down to that fact that sometimes man has too much time on his hands. Don’t forget that much of our "science" is motivated by ideology and grants.
Lee B | Jan 07, 2010

To restate your question simply- you don’t see genetic purity as important when trying to conserve a species.

Part of your question also seems to be why conserve sub-populations when you have plenty of a species overall (you include domestic individuals as equal to wild individuals in your example).

Genetic diversity is actually LOST not GAINED when hybrids are created. The argument that introducing foreign DNA improves the diversity of a species is flawed.

A dog/wolf is not a wolf genetically, behaviorally, or physically, despite a possible superficial resemblance, and cannot replace a wild population of a genetically distinct sub species.

The label "Species" is messy and human imposed for the purposes of classification, biology isn’t as simple as saying anything that can interbreed and produce viable offspring is a species, with all members equal. When do you say two distinct populations are now officially different enough to be separate species, and now deserve to be protected? It is far better to look at genetic diversity when making decisions about conservation of populations, rather than classifying a teacup poodle as the genetic equal of a genetically pure dingo or wolf.

Every time a purebred wolf (for example) breeds with another related species that is not its exact species, the percentage of their wolf blood is sliced in half. Doing so creates hybrids. In the southern states, there used to be many red wolves. But they began to breed with coyotes because not enough of their species were available in their area to breed with. Thus, hybrids were created. I do agree, that if something breeds with a mate is healthy but not the same species, then it is okay, because the offspring will most likely do well. In some cases, the offspring will not be able to reproduce, though, as in the case of the liger, and there will not be a third generation. The entire point of a healthy mate would be destroyed. I think it is mostly humans who are to blame for endangered species. In Florida, red wolves were hunted so much, that the animals had no other wolves of their species to mate with, and so turned to another similar species. The offspring, no longer being purebred, are not to be considered a red wolf, although they may have many similarities. Then that hybrid breeds with another hybrid, whose offspring breed with other hybrids, until there are almost not any red wolves left. In 1983, the last recorded purebred red wolf in in Florida was shot, and then a few years later the last recorded hybrid in Florida was shot as well.Other times, it could be confusion. Some animals may mistake another animal for its species. For example, a coyote does not know what it looks like, and it could spot a wolf that it thinks is its species, and mate with it. But in the end, we really have ourselves to blame for extinction. Of course, we can’t forget the dodo birds, right? If we had more respect towards the animals, we would not kill them for the fun of it, eat them, or tease them. And they should only be in captivity if being rehabbed or for captive breeding, and that the offspring along with their parents are released to the wild.

Hybridizations between different species are rare, but they do occur. For example, coyotes and wolves have been hybridizing for a long time, and yet each species have maintained their distinctness because of the relative rarity of hybrids. Neither species is endangered by the hybridization events. However, when a species is already endangered, the number of individuals are naturally small. Hybridization between an endangered species and a more common one would further dilute the gene pool of the endangered animal, perhaps to the point that it may no longer persist as a distinct species. Remember, a species is defined as a group of populations that interbeed with one another. If an endangered species is interbreeding freely with another species, then the endangered species is no longer able to maintain its distinctness as a species. It is in effect become part of another species, and it is therefore on the way to extinction.

Simpsons Movie, The (2007) IMDB rating: 7.90 Plot: Homer adopts a pig who’s run away from Krusty Burger after Krusty tried to have him slaughtered, naming the pig “Spider Pig.” At the same time, the lake is protected after the audience sink the barge Green Day are on with garbage after they mention the environment. Meanwhile, Spider Pig’s waste has filled up a silo in just 2 days, apparently with Homer’s help. Homer can’t get to the dump quickly so dumps the silo in the lake, polluting it. Russ Cargill, the villainous boss of the EPA, gives Arnold Schwarzenegger 5 options, forcing him to choose 4 (which is, unfortunately, to destroy Springfield) and putting a dome over Springfield to prevent evacuation. Homer, however, has escaped, along with his family. Can he stop the evil Cargill from annihilating his home town, and his family, who have been forced to return to Springfield?

Why is there such a huge price difference on DVDs at Wal-mart vs Best Buy?
Star Trek fan collection at Wal-Mart $13, at Best Buy $34. Simpsons seasons 1-6 at Wal-mart $15 each, at Best Buy $29 each. Appaloosa at Wal-mart $4, at Best Buy $15. Why is there such a huge price difference on DVDs at Wal-mart vs Best Buy? Okay I know the quick answer is to say that Wal-mart demands lower prices from manufactures which is why everything there is so cheap. But there are two problems with this answer.

1. Wal-mart actually has very expensive prices on other products when comparing them to other stores, just look at the price of collectible trading card games at Wal-mart then compare it to prices at a Gaming store. Look at the price of a lot of Wii, PS3, or X-Box games and compare them to a store like Game Stop. Even groceries at Wal-mart are expensive compared to grocery stores that strictly sell food. Do you see the pattern here? Specialty stores that sell just one type of item usually sell it cheaper than Wal-Mart, certainly Best Buy qualifies as this type of store so it should follow the same pattern and sell cheaper DVDs and Blu-Rays.

2. I once asked a Wal-mart employee why it was cheaper to buy the three Jurassic Park movies separately than it was to buy the same three movies in a bundled pack. (The same is true for several movies series sold at Wal-Mart.) She told me that the prices are not decided by Wal-mart but by the manufactures of the movies. So the manufacture of The Simpsons decided it would be better to sell there DVDs for $15 at Wal-mart and not Best Buy?

Don’t get me wrong I think Best Buy is a great store but who is responsible for deciding their prices and how does a consumer like myself let them know how I feel? (The people who work at Best Buy do not care, it’s obvious when they themselves suggest I check out Wal-Mart first for a price comparison.)

I’ve noticed this and wondered the same thing.
My conclusion – best buy credit is easy to get
You’d be surprised how many people will pay double for something just because they can spend 5 years paying for it. (and then pay triple).

I think it may be in part because Best Buy has a lot bigger selection of DVDs than Wal-Mart, and their pricing may reflect the cost of keeping a lot of slow-moving inventory on hand. Wal-Mart usually just sells what I’d call ‘popular’, as in high turnover, items. But ever since Circuit City went out of business, Best Buy’s pricing is pretty much what I’d expect from a place selling DVDs that aren’t readily available elsewhere… pay the price or don’t get it. They used to have regular sales where the back seasons of TV shows would be half off… they hardly ever do now.

Walmart, by cutting their movie etc.prices attract a further section of the buying public who will frequently buy at least a few other items while there. One stop shop! There bye they increase their turnover and over-all profit margins.

why is Egypt considered "the jewel of the Nile"? at least five complete sentences are needed so as much info as you can possibly can is appreciated. thx =)
scottie- ive looking in the entire Egyptian section of my text book and googled it. nothing. this is my last resort.
best is sager

Well Egypt considered "the jewel of the Nile"becuase The Nile overflows its banks annually and floods surrounding land which is thereby watered; it is a form of natural irrigation, upon which Egyptian agriculture has always depended. Without that convenient source of water, agriculture would have been much more difficult and human civilization would accordingly have been much less likely to develop and flourish in that location. PLease give me 10 points? LAMO need it bad just started
