Its often easier to relate with online friends, because you see their attitude in their typing and you don't have to guess by their looks if they are freind material or not. I'm not sure why otehrs would see online friends as "bad." I've had online friends for a while, and they are easier to talk to then "real" friends at time. They're also more avaliable. I guess it depends on what a person is used to and their life experiences. You can't make an online friend if you don't trust any part of the internet.

Norton = not good! My in-laws had it and had viruses every month! Ever since having Panda Internet Security installed, they had few to no problems. Once or twice a season something may try to get in but it doesn't get through. And this is with a 30-day trial that expired. Imagine if we had actually bought them a yearly subscription?

Some are controlling because they are trying to help you. Like perhaps your parents did when they didn't want you to overeat candy. They didn't want you to end up sick with diabetes or a tummy ache.Others are controlling because they think they know what's best for you and are trying to make sure you understand this. Remember the pushy Christian/Catholic/Jehova Witness that is trying to recruit you? They are a good example. Maybe what works for them doesn't work for you and they can't understand it.Others just don't know how to research their opinions and don't know research is necessary to make sure one is right. They then push what they know, unaware that there may be a study that says otherwise and has proven them wrong. But ignorance is bliss, right?

I was a stranger my first year, and I had to learn to step up my effort at three different times to face three different difficulties of classes. It is stressful, but its better to stress a few years in college than work in McDonalds stressed out for the rest of your life. I've learned to clam down, and try to find help when I need it. I didn't look for help and managed to do very well, but I never had any time because I was trying to figure things out myself. Now that I'm a tutor, I wish I had gone to the college's tutoring lab to get help. I would have saved myself lots of stress! As for remedial classes: This occurs when a student remembers stuff for a test and forgets it afterward. Students like these end up in lower classes because they didn't really learn and didn't study for the placement exams/ACT/SAT/CLEP/etc. Just keep working hard and you'll make it!

Although I agree that a person should learn the language before moving to a country, I have become aware that it isn't that simple. Many people in foreign countries cannot access the internet or other valuable resources that can help them learn the language. They can't access tutors because they don't have the money to. The lack of money sends them to the United States to get a better life.Now imagine you're in their shoes. You can't afford to live or send your kids to school. Someone offers to take you to a better country to make you a citizen in the next few months. You don't know the language but you decide to agree. After all, you can barely live with what you make in your current residence.Once you get there, you find you can't communicate with people, and it frustrates you. You want a job but can't get one that pays bills under 60 hours a week without knowing English. You have to work to death to live in a slum, but at least you have a home and some food, unlike in your native country. You want to learn English but are afraid you don't have the money for services to learn, you don't have the time because of work and your kids, and you may even be ashamed because you are barely literate in your language. Maybe if you find a family to help, you can help them get to these ELL services? With the support they may be able to convince others to learn. Then they can learn together. In other words, you can make a difference and help people, but remember to first find a family that wants the help. You can't change some that is afraid to change.

I've learned that even when you work hard and get things done properly, your mind still needs time to relax. If you don't get a bit of relaxation time very week, you will stress out and forget things. Plus you will have health problems like ulcers and high blood pressure. I've learned that games, along with movies, television, and reading can be beneficial ways to relax, so long as you make sure to keep your life straight and don't overdo anything. Perhaps there is a certain reason you dislike games in general?

According to Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark, cancer is caused by creating an environment for a certain fluke (parasite) to live. If your body gets too many of certain alcohols, like ones with "propyl," you will be more likely to develop cancer. Keep in mind this research isn't "mainstream." However, I plan to study cancer in the future. If I find the answer and I remember to, I will get back with you on it.

If at all possible, you could have told your father that you were waiting for it to cool. You could tell him how long you had been waiting. Next time, prove that you will do this in the amount of time you said you would this time so they know you aren't lying. Often, some people come from cultures that don't trust or believe their children. I've seen this problem with my husband's family but not with mine. There also may have been times when your parents didn't judge you as responsible, so they may have been less likely to believe you this time. I've seen this as the case with my husband, who tends to "forget" his responsibilities often. No wonder his family didn't trust him to get things done! Also, communicate with your family! Find out what they want you to do for the week and get it done early. This way you have your chores done and can spend the rest of the time on yourself. Note that getting everything done early may not be fun at first. But once you see how it feels to not worry about getting things done, it'll become addictive to get your work done early.

Are Love Calculators Predictions True?
Tsukimoon replied to delivi's topic in Dating And Relationships
These calculators don't look at true compatability. They don't know what you like or what your potential girlfriend likes. Instead of worrying about what it says, think about how you will approach the gir. Will you be polite? Will you communicate to the point where all akward moments are discussed in private so that nothing happens "in secret" that may make either of you mad and break up? Do you both believe relationships work the same way? As in, do you both think that you should be exclusive to each other or not? (Also, its great to research what you want to know. As in, look through resources from experts. Do love psychologists say these work? Why or why not?) -
It's hard to tell if they were right, since we're not sure how they measured this. However, I have heard that there will be some celestial collision around this date, and that bothers me. It doesn't absolutely mean the world will end, but then how do we know what will happen when these "things" collide? How about we come back January 2013 and discuss it, if we're still alive?

I was a homeschooled student. I paid to join a school by mail, and they set me two subject books at a time. I studied, did my exams, and sent them to be graded. Once I did that with all 8-12 exams, I would be sent a new subject. Then when I finished all of the subjects with grades of 77% or higher, I graduated. It was ridiculously easy! I joined a school-by-mail because I couldn't tolerate the kids at my public high school. Apparently being around the middle-aged and elderly made me as intolerant to immature behavior as the people I knew. Plus, I was moving to a country where no fully English schools were available so I needed to find a way to graduate for when I went back to the states.

World Of Warcraft Addiction Your view on WoW addiction
Tsukimoon replied to Picardim's topic in Science and Technology
In my opinion, something becomes an addiction when it interferes with the rest of your life. For example, if you don't go to work, clean, or do other things you're supposed to do because you're playing the game, then it's an addiction. However, if you can play the game and manage your life well, then it's not. Instead it's a hobby. I'll admit, I may be biased because I play World of Warcraft. However, note that I am also a 4.0 student graduating in my second year of college so that I may attend a four-year university. I am in most of my college's organizations and I participate in many of their events. I even have a job as a tutor at that college. I've seen other students that have jobs with fewer hours, an easier and smaller class load, and that don't cook for themselves that don't play WoW and are failing. So games like WoW aren't the only factor. (Personally I believe it's based on how well the child was disciplined when growing up.) And after all, it's nice to know you can get together with others if you're stuck at home on a rainy/snowy day. In fact, you can even take friends from life and play these types of games with them. You may plan to go to the beach but then a thunderstorm comes in. As a group, you decide to go on WoW and "run some heroics" or "do a raid" or even "try for some achievements." You'd still be spending time with the same friends just in a manner that the weather would allow. Another thing I'd like to note deals with psychology. The system has measurable goals, with exact rewards that can be accomplished. Everything is outlined for you so that you can get it done, and you have an enthusiastic group to do it with for awesome in-game rewards. In life, you have to learn to make plans that work, take time to find out if you have the ability to get things done, hope that you can do it alone or get a team to help if needed, and then hope at the end you get the desired result. If the world were more organized and we knew how to make plans to get things done, people would be getting tasks done instead of working on these games for hours at a time. Now to see if we can get the world to start planning piece-by-piece... (Sorry about the rant! I feel that these "addictions" are looking at a game as the thing to blame and not other factors!) -
It depends on what you did and what the girl(s) did. There are many actions that a guy can make to make a girl feel angry or uncomfortable. For example, a guy may whistle at a girl instead of telling her she's beautiful. Making a whistling noise is like calling a dog - it's disrespectful. Then you may also have said "yes" at a time when a girl wanted you to say "no." Like when she asks if her clothing makes her look fat. Perhaps you could elaborate on the event that made you post this?

I've seen bloomers for women, although I don't think that's exactly what you mean. It would be interesting to see boxers made for women. I'm not sure if they would sell well at first, though. Some would be skeptical as to how they would fell, if they're to baggy, and then what if the woman has a "womanly week?" How would that work with boxers? I have seen a girl wear what she said were women's boxers, once, as outershorts. Unfortunately I didn't take the time years ago to ask her where she got them. If a company did manage to make them, I would say they should try a "test sale" at a few Hot Topic stores.

Normally At What Age A Child Start Speaking.
Tsukimoon replied to contactskn's topic in Health & Fitness
I wouldn't say i have any medical proof, but I've heard anywhere from one to two years. A cousin of mine is starting to talk often, although her speech is garbled. She's a bit over two years old. However, I have heard from someone who was taking child care classes that different parts of different children develop at their own pace. If one child is developing faster than another, it doesn't mean that the other child is slow or going to become slow. It just means it isn't his or her time yet.
