Step one: move out of Little Rock. In fact, anything above 38 degrees North would be preferable. Contact me when you've completed step one and we'll move on to step two.
Lodi makes a good point. Statistically, most women cannot orgasm at all during intercourse, so I would say you have the exact opposite of a problem. Enjoy the fact that you have a position that works so well for you.
It is your room, true, and you should do what makes you feel comfortable, but there is almost no way to stage a mattress on the floor without it looking cheap. A mattress with no frame or headboard makes a room look unfinished, not large. 9-foot ceilin...
If you want truly scary and not just 'jump out and startle you' films, I would really recommend that you move towards Japanese horror. American films either employ BOO! tactics or gross-out bloody slasher methods to get a reaction, and for me, that get...
I think you are vastly overestimating the amount of power generated by such a simple generator. The kind of generator you are talking about would put out enough wattage to light up a small light bulb if it were turned constantly. And you seem to think ...
Maybe the teacher is 'hating on you' because you're messing around on the Internet while you're in class.
What are you planning to use as an energy source? Hand or foot cranking, solar? A little more guidelines in what you were looking for would help narrow the search.
"2.Discuss whether you think the compromise reached was a fair one and why." How are we supposed to tell you what you think?
The printing press did more to further the advancement of humankind than any other single invention in history. The rapid dissemination of information caused an explosion of ingenuity and creativity that has not been seen since.
If your husband is unable to to cut down on his drinking without help but you are not willing to cut down on yours, congratulations, you're officially an enabler. But I won't judge your hypocrisy. Not my place. I will, however, judge your bizarre r...
If you did nothing but lie in bed, at your height and weight, you would need around 1500 calories per day to keep your organs in working order and sustain life. For an average day with little or no exercise, you need around 2000 calories a day.
That's The Bodyguard you're thinking of. Celine Dion was Titanic. And I Will Always Love You was originally Dolly Parton's anyway.
In defense of television, if you're watching mindless television, it's not the fault of the television. There are any number of engaging, thought provoking programs on TV at any given moment. You merely have to be discerning enough to bother to find th...
MacAfee Total Protection is a good all-around preventative suite. It's pretty strict about what it will and will not let access your machine. Sometimes too strict. If you've already been infected, check out HijackThis. It's not very user-friendly, a...
So, what, you're expecting a modeling agency to sign a 13-year-old with no legal guardians? Exactly how many child-labor laws are you expecting people to break for you so you can have a career? Unless you are legally emancipated, absolutely no one i...
matt, you have some very strange ideas about how wings developed. You also have strange ideas about how it's impossible to create a phylogenetic tree with anything but humans. On the contrary. There are many examples of elephant and giraffe ancestr...
Usually I'm pretty indulgent when it comes to people posting their homework questions on here, but come ON. If you can't think of any ways 'rivers are good' by yourself, you need to think seriously about withdrawing from school and joining the circus, ...
I love it when posters make their original post anon but not their own responses. The 'kind of gay' rule that simmo is referring to generally has to do with social networking sites that directly compete with FunAdvice (not Friendadvice, thanks). Those...
I've taken the liberty of editing your post into sentence case. If you would like me to direct you to a computer-repair shop in your area so you can get your Caps-Lock key fixed, please let me know. Otherwise, stop shouting. Thanks.
I'm not sure how it works these days, but when I was in school, there were these buildings that cities and towns used as repositories of knowledge on a wide array of subjects. In the Olde English of my day, they were called Lye'Braireys. What would ha...
Maguro nigiri. I've been dreaming of it alll day, and I'm almost there.
You're broken up. That means you're not beholden to the emotions of the other person anymore. Most likely, he got tired and irritated that you kept burdening him with your feelings long after the relationship came to an end. Move on. Your feelings are ...
What other explanation would a child come up with for the creation of the universe? The point to be taken from this study isn't 'Belief in God is universal and natural' but 'A belief in a Creator is childish and simplistic.' I also read an interview in...
I met a girl with elf ears once. She was a stripper, so she had no problems with self-esteem, clearly, but that aside, they were the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I say keep them; if you get rid of something that unique and beautiful, it could be an eno...
If I ever knew that a girl was obsessing this much over me, I would get in a car and drive very quickly in the other direction. I don't mean to be overly flip or dismiss your problem, which I've no doubt seems very real and important to you, but I t...
An hour ago, you said you were going to 'cop a feel' from your girlfriend. Before that, you were wondering how to finger your girlfriend. Now you say you don't have a girlfriend. So... which is it?
I don't believe that friendships require you to have a 'I don't think is working out' conversation. Especially so in this case, since it sounds like you were friends in name only. If your story is accurate, you've made a number of gestures to work thin...
Is this really how friends treat each other nowadays? Everyone involved in this situation sounds heinous.
More like a heat sink than an air conditioner, but yes, drinking cold liquids will cool your core. Also apply ice packs to areas of the skin where blood flows close to the surface, like the wrists and back of the neck. This will pull heat from warmer b...
If I dream something, and several months later something happens in reality that resembles the dream, I do not think one thing had anything to do with the other. Considering the enormous number of things that you dream about in any given period of REM ...
Depends. Where in Pennsylvania to where in China?
It doesn't make a lot of sense. The short answer is that many of our laws are hold-overs from when religion held a much more powerful influence on the maintenance of Western civilization. But keep in mind that it isn't illegal in every US state or in e...
You can see people that live in your area by clicking the Home tab on the upper left of your screen.
I think many of them -- or most of them -- post 'am I pregnant' questions for reassurance that they _aren't_ pregnant. There are not many teenage girls who are hoping to get pregnant, and so instead of facing the possibility that it's true, they come h...
Not to be confused with entomology, which is a different animal altogether. Many different animals, actually.
You could be curious regarding the word's etymology, pronunciation, usage, or you could be a ESL speaker looking up the word in order to learn it. Not everyone who uses an English dictionary is necessarily a native English speaker.
Oooohhh, SNAP, amlyam.
First, the H1N1 strain of the flu that everyone has been talking about lately is not technically swine flu. It's similar to previously known swine flu strains but has never once been found in an actual piggy. Second, it's important to remember that wh...
Jody, Iraq had no terrorist camps before the invasion. That was not the purported reason for the invasion anyway, and so is moot. Jody, Iraq last fired a missile at Israel in 1991. So a retaliation a decade later seems pathetically silly. That was n...
Can you put your parents on here for a second? I think most of us would have a few words of advice on how to deal with a bratty 15-year-old. Mine involves hammers.
'Explain what will happen to the uptake of mineral ions by root hair if the roots are immersed into a solution containing metabolic poison such as cyanide.' No thank you. It was sweet of you to offer though.
No, jody, we were not supposed to do nothing. We were supposed to eliminate the threat, which was in Afghanistan. Instead, we ended up invading a country that had nothing to do any terrorist activity against the US, which is the point adviceman was mak...
Do I personally think all Arabs are terrorists? No, of course not. No more than anyone else, certainly. I think the IRA gives Arabia a run for its money as far as terrorist production goes. I wouldn't go so far to say that the US government holds that ...
A very vocal religious minority coupled with a century of government-sanctioned pro-war films has left America with a dangerous combination of attributes -- we're rabid for a good war and also think our overinflated morality is also right for the rest ...
Racism exists when when there is a belief that someone's traits are determined by their race, not when you acknowledge another race exists. 'White' is an acceptable shortcut replacement for 'Caucasian' or 'Anglo-Saxon' or the like. If it was phrased ...
'Moist.'
It's not as uncommon as you would think. The BBC produced a documentary not long ago, Brothers and Sisters in Love, that recounted several stories of adult siblings meeting and falling in love, the German couple included. Personally, I think the law...
An optimist sees the glass as half-full. A pessimist sees it as half-empty and also thinks he has colon cancer. A realist knows that if he hangs around too long, someone's going to make him wash the glass.
It's famous for being stolen from Mexico and executing mentally handicapped prisoners. The coolest thing you can see in Texas is the interstate to New Mexico as you get the hell out of Texas.
Easier to link you to a list of things you AREN'T allowed to bring rather than list all the things you are allowed to bring. A complete list of prohibited items can be found here: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibite...
