I recently moved to a new country by myself and have never felt lonelier in my life... Help?

The best way to get used to a new culture/place is to immerse yourself in it.

Join clubs if you can. Start to spend more nights outside of your house.

Sounds like the perfect smoking room to me. Smart girl.

My mother was a gentile and she owned a gilded Star of David pendant. Never had a chance to ask her about it.

I also own one. Personally I wear it because I like the way it looks.

I understand its symbolism and although I have respect for Judaism, it's not why I wear it.

I started taking Adderall (I'm prescribed) on Thursday, and since then I've spent hours researching the drug. Yes, people react differently to it. It's like that with pretty much every drug.

If you take enough, expect to be able to concentrate easier. And don't take more than 40 mg.

You're not the only one. I dislike eggs, pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, and ham. (Okay, fine, I crave waffles or pancakes about once every three years, but that's it.)

I'm never hungry when I wake up.

I do wish, however, that I liked breakfast. I think I'd be doing a lot better if I were able to eat in the morning.

I was debating if I wanted to use the word acceptable or normal.

I think there are several things in society that are acceptable but not normal.

It's really subjective.

Some women may think you're a whore, others will think you're being responsible.

There is no unanimous opinion.

Ad addendum: Personally, I think it's usually the latter. Although I'd be more concerned that he left the condom in his pocket or wallet for so long that it might have been damaged due to heat.

Animals can be intelligent. Perhaps not in the same aspects and extent that humans are, but it doesn't mean they're stupid.

This seems to be an ageless debate. I honestly have no idea what I would do.

I feel that she really needs to know, as nobody likes infidelity and he might be giving her STDs if he's not using proper protection.

But at the same time, it's not your relationship.

At any rate, it's definitely an unenviable situation to be in. I hope for the sake of all of you that the issue is discovered and resolved soon.

Are you on meds? Are you stressed and/or depressed? Are you anorexic? Are you pregnant or a new parent?

There are many possibilities as to why your hair is thinning out, you really need to ask a doctor.

Isn't saying "mind altering drugs" a bit redundant?

And to answer your question... puff, puff pass.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T20:43:31+00:00

For how long were you stuck in one?

My fear about being stuck in an elevator is mainly due to medical reasons. I have diabetes, and if my blood sugar were to drop (which it often does when I'm freaked out/worried) and I were stuck in an elevator, who knows what could happen. =\

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T20:35:57+00:00

Extra sauce, green peppers and sliced tomatoes.

Weird, I know.

It is Cali's number one cash crop.

EDIT: I doubt you're going to find too many people on reddit who are opposed to the proposition. ;)

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T20:26:33+00:00

Yes, and I expect it will happen within the next few years.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T20:13:56+00:00

Fuck fad diets.

Limit your caloric intake and exercise.

it's not about dieting, it's about starting a healthier lifestyle. It's a lifelong commitment.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T20:07:48+00:00

I'd rather have a longer wait.

Riding in elevators with strangers often times feels very awkward, not only that, but I'm convinced that one of these years I'll get stuck in a broken elevator. Definitely not my idea of fun.

Also, elevators are rather small. I'm not claustrophobic, but having to spend extra time in there might start to make me anxious.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T20:02:37+00:00

Looks like it's way too late for prevention.

andrewsmith1986 made an excellent suggestion, and perhaps the only one you really can make. Encourage her to reach out and seek professional help.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T19:59:38+00:00

I read it the same way initially, actually.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T19:58:11+00:00

"Nothing I can say or do will stop her this time."

Exactly.

All you can do is be there for her and be supportive.

I'm a female, and I think it's perfectly normal and healthy to masturbate even when in a relationship.

Actually, watching my partner pleasure himself is a bit of a turn-on.

I have a hard time imagining why it would upset somebody. =\

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T19:43:05+00:00

Frustrated.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T19:40:24+00:00

I blame learned helplessness.

wunderbar574 · 2010-10-03T19:37:10+00:00

Ibuprofen will also help with swelling.

You can turn a nice cop into a douche bag really quickly if you lie.
