Question #3:Did Your Belly Button Go Back To An Innie After First Pregnancy?Cause i'm kind of a fitness freak and after i get my abs back in shape (which i'm thinking will be my biggest challenge yet! lol) i thought i'd celabrate by getting my belly button pierced (im 19 so i have a couple more belly-shirt years ahead of me,i hope,lol!) but im 36 weeks right now and my belly buttons totally popped out,lol! i dont think a belly ring would look too cute if i had an outie after this since i wanted to get it pierced on the top part. Anyone get their innie back after their first pregnancy? Thanks a ton! ^-^Question #4:Getting over a friend?It's been two months since I cut contact with a male friend I made at work before I moved. He wanted to have a date with me, but I wasn't interested. I didn't know him, and I was moving anyway. I wanted to stay friends, which I meant because we worked in the same space. I couldn't avoid him at all. We were friends and flirted very lightly. I wanted to get to know him anyway, but he knew I was moving away. Well, he was the one who said to keep in touch, so I did. I really left it up to him to keep in touch since I was the one moving. We kept in touch a couple of months.Well, I'd flirt with him and stayed friends. Then, he kinda changed his tone near the end. He revealed on the social site that he met a girl he liked. I kindly wished him well and cut off all contact like deleted his cell phone, so I wouldn't remember and removed him from my social site without telling him. I just disappeared from his life. He was free to see other women, but what really irritated me was that he didn't tell me directly before that he was seeing a girl. I thought he should have told me before and felt he was rude to tell it on the site like he was letting me know but in a general way. I'd have stopped flirting with him simply because I respect that he was seeing someone if he had let me know. Also, when I asked if he was looking for someone serious or just dating, he told me he didn't want to be in a serious relationship 'till the end of the year. Well, he told me this a few weeks before mentioning this girl. He said I should I let him take me out. Why date if I was going to move anyway and we were co-workers? He wasn't concerned with dating in the workplace, but I was. He's done it before at work. I wonder if he was on a rebound or something to enjoy my flirting and frienship while dating other women. I never asked him how long it's been since his last relationship, so I don't know. I don't know why it still hurts me after 2 months. I just feel sad. He hadn't contacted me since. I should probably change my phone soon, so I never have that "hope" that he'd text me. I know time heals all hurts, but I hate that when I seem to have moved on, the pain still lingers back. I sometimes shed tears. Sometimes I just want revenge, but I am not the type to do that. I hate it. I don't know what else to do to make this hurt disappear. Question #5:NO I DON'T WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, I JUST WANT TO EXERCISE!!!!!!?I DO NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!DO NOT SEND ME ADDS FOR WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS!!!! I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT Due to getting answers only from people trying to sell me weight loss drugs that I do not need, I must once again post this question and hope for the best! ***Please read all of the information alone before posting an answer, and please do not post anything unhelpful or rude, AND ABSOLUTELY NO ADDS*** I have hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism, and I'm on medication (atenolol) to slow my heart rate which gets quite high when I'm not on my medication. I had a little sniffle a few months back and was warned against certain over the counter medications because they would counteract the atenolol and raise my heart rate. A friend of mine just joined a gym and signed me up as part of her group. I would like to do a bit of exercise to counteract the possible weight gain I might experience due to my thyroid medication. However I'm worried about raising my heart rate since I'm on medication to slow it. I enjoy walking and some light swimming, I'd like to check out the exercise machines the gym offers and even though I'm not the type to act like I'm in an Olympic race I can sometimes go a little overboard (my usual "walking" pace would probably be considered more of a power walk, or even a light jog if I lifted my legs higher, since I don't much like going slowly). So, should I stay with the light stuff or am I safe with a bit of cardio? Do I have to worry about working myself to hard? What other exercises are possible if I do have to worry? (Posts from other people with hyperthyroidism, or even hypothyroidism, and health professionals are preferred, but posts from anyone who knows what I'm trying to say are very welcome) Question #6:Hey, I'm trying to find alot of songs (any type) that I want to listen everytime. Can you name me a few?I'm trying to make a list of songs that I'll remember and listen to it sometime. I'm hoping to hear the best song you know :DQuestion #7:The top ten misunderstandings about ISLAM! :D RAMADAN?Click Here1. Muslims worship a moon-god Some non-Muslims mistakenly believe that Allah is an "Arab god," a "moon god," or some sort of idol. Allah is the proper name of the One True God, in the Arabic language. The most fundamental belief that a Muslim has is that "There is only One God," the Creator, the Sustainer -- known in the Arabic language and by Muslims as Allah. Arabic-speaking Christians use the same word for the Almighty. 2. Muslims don't believe in Jesus In the Qur'an, stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (called 'Isa in Arabic) are abundant. The Qur'an recalls his miraculous birth, his teachings, and the miracles he performed by God's permission. There is even a chapter of the Qur'an named after his mother, Mary (Miriam in Arabic). However, Muslims believe that Jesus was a fully human prophet and not in any way divine himself. 3. Most Muslims are Arabs While Islam is often associated with Arabs, they make up only 15% of the world's Muslim population. The country with the largest population of Muslims is Indonesia. Muslims make up 1/5 of the world's population, with large numbers found in Asia (69%), Africa (27%), Europe (3%) and other parts of the world. 4. Islam oppresses women Most of the ill-treatment that women receive in the Muslim world is based on local culture and traditions, without any basis in the faith of Islam. In fact, practices such as forced marriage, spousal abuse, and restricted movement directly contradict Islamic law governing family behavior and personal freedom. 5. Muslims are violent, terrorist extremists Terrorism cannot be justified under any valid interpretation of the Islamic faith. The entire Qur'an, taken as a complete text, gives a message of hope, faith, and peace to a faith community of one billion people. The overwhelming message is that peace is to be found through faith in God, and justice among fellow human beings. Muslim leaders and scholars do speak out against terrorism in all its forms, and offer explanations of misinterpreted or twisted teachings. 6. Islam is intolerant of other faiths Throughout the Qur'an, Muslims are reminded that they are not the only ones who worship God. Jews and Christians are called "People of the Book," meaning people who have received previous revelations from the One Almighty God that we all worship. The Qur'an also commands Muslims to protect from harm not only mosques, but also monasteries, synagogues, and churches -- because "God is worshipped therein." 7. Islam promotes "jihad" to spread Islam by the sword and kill all unbelievers The word Jihad stems from an Arabic word which means "to strive." Other related words include "effort," "labor," and "fatigue." Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator. Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not "to spread Islam by the sword." 8. The Quran was written by Muhammad and copied from Christian and Jewish sources The Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of two decades, calling people to worship One Almighty God and to live their lives according to this faith. The Qur'an contains stories of Biblical prophets, because these prophets also preached the message of God. Stories are not merely copied, but the oral traditions are referred to in a way that focuses on the examples and teachings that we can learn from them. 9. Islamic prayer is just a ritualized performance with no heartfelt meaning Prayer is a time to stand before God and express faith, give thanks for blessings, and seek guidance and forgiveness. During Islamic prayer, one is modest, submissive and respectful to God. By bowing and prostrating ourselves to the ground, we express our utmost humility before the Almighty. 10. The crescent moon is a universal symbol of Islam The early Muslim community did not really have a symbol. During the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Islamic caravans and armies flew simple solid-colored flags (generally black, green, or white) for identification purposes. The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years, and wasn't affiliated with Islam at all until the Ottoman Empire placed it on their flag.

Thanks againnn :) Question #9:Manipulative ex still trying to contact me...?Long story short: I'm 21 yrs old, a college senior, & a virgin...I met an East Indian gentleman who I presumed to be 30 yrs old & we began to go out... 3 months later..I asked him how old he was when 9/11 occurred & he said he didn't want to talk about it. When I asked why, he claimed that he was not 30 but in his thirties...then my mother conducted a background check that said he was in fact 40 yrs old, it had his income, university, former addresses, etc. He said he wanted to "tell me in person" but everytime I would see him, he would bring me flowers, Indian sweets, etc. etc. & also I had mentioned previously, assuming that he was 30, that "ten years was my cutoff age in a partner."He was also very jealous, he'd ask me who my friends were, whether or not I "partied", etc. we would have arguments but the point was that he lied to me from the beginning, 1st he told me he was 30, then that he was in his 30s when the background check accurately revealed his true age :( I broke up w/ him in September & then 2 weeks later, I contacted him to see if I could get some closure & he asked me for a second chance. I saw him in October & we got together & basically, he STILL did not tell me his age or show me his Driver's License...he also pushed me when we were having a semi-argument. A month later I have ignored his phone calls/texts & then he text messages me asking me "How u been? Can I call?" & i said "I don't think we should talk anymore." & he said "I'll respect that. However, why are you giving me the cold shoulder? I hope u'll answer that...thanks..." & I said "U don't respect me enough to be honest with me. I cant trust you & it would be best for the both of us to move on & find more compatible partners. Happy Thanksgiving." & then he said "I'm sorry I left u with that feeling! I hope u'll give me the chance to explain...at least for all that we shared...Happy thanksgiving to u & ur family!" & I said "No. There is nothing more to explain. When u had the chance to answer a simple question, u refused. Why should this time be any different? There's nothing left to say & life is too short.

Question #14:textbook buyer - how to tell if scam?I half my textbooks up for sale through the Facebook Marketplace, but any time I get an interested buyer, it's the same format.. this is one I got in my inbox today:"Hello, Good Morning to you,I'm getting in touch with you regarding your item for sale. I'm willing to purchase the item from you Upon request.Be aware, there is a serious commitment over this purchase. I will like to know your final asking price Of the item and Some of its recent pictures (its okay if non is available) and your opinion about the condition of the item and also Do you accept a (Certified Cashier Check /Us postal Money Order ) as a mode of payment? Will you let a shipping company to come to your location to pick up of the item? kindly get back to me with the full name you want on the payment and the address you want it to be send to and also your email address and your cell Phone Number. Hope to Read Back from you soon? PLEASE REPLY ME TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS HERE : tammylien001@gmail.com" It's always the same format, a foreign guy who never specifies what he wants to buy but just says "your item" and always asks if cashier check/money order is okay, always says someone else will pick it up, always leaves an e-mail to contact outside of Facebook. Since it's always the same format, I've been assuming it's a scam. Is it safe to assume so? Otherwise, I'd feel bad if it's just some foreign guy who doesn't speak English very well and is just trying to buy a textbook for himself or to re-sell it himself. I don't want to just ignore every message from someone foreign, but they all same fake. So my general question is, how can you really tell which are scams and which aren't? Whoa, didn't even notice that silly spelling mistake. The first sentence up there should say "I HAVE" not "I half" haha :P Question #15:i'm italian, can you correct my report?This is for school. You helped me out a lot last time.Dear Michelle, Thank you for your last letter. I’m very pleased to hear that you’ve decided to visit Como: I go there almost once a month therefore hoping to be helpful I’m giving you some advice. First thing first, you should rent a bike. Maybe you’re thinking I’m a little old fogey as nowadays none would rent a bike, but I grant you that the city is better-worth visiting with a bike as most of the places aren’t reachable by car. Then when you’ve seen the area surrounding the lake, you can take a ferry to the opposite embankment: on the ferry, you have a nice view of the mountains. Oh, it has just occurred to me that you can also take a chairlift to the summit of the mountain. Como has also a baffling amount of monuments, for example the Dome. But I’m not actually sure you are keen on monuments, I’d rather say that you’re wondering if there are any malls. Well then, not exactly. Como is made of tiny old streets but it doesn’t lack of shops: if you leisurely stroll through the streets you can see a wide range of shops. After your shopping make sure that you have a rent sitting on a bench nibbling an ice cream or sipping by far the best coffee in the world. Here you can see the flow of hectic people and watch the world go by. When you’re fresh, there’s a last place to visit: George Clooney’s villa!! I know for certain you’ll fancy so much Como that you’ll decide to stick around a little longer: let me know! Kisses, Stefania. Thank you:] Question #16:Is he into me or am I over-thinking this?Okay, I've asked all the people closest to me and they are split down the center on if this guy's into me or if I'm over-thinking what's going on. I met three people a few months ago that all happen to be guys and all best friends as well. For the sake of this question I'm gonna label them Friend A, Friend B, and Friend C. I really enjoy hanging out with them, however, the second or third time I was hanging out with them I noticed Friend A left a conversation we were having abruptly and asked another friend (We'll call him Friend D) if it would be cool if he asked me out. The person he asked that of is like a big brother type that's pretty protective of me, he also happened to say "No. You can't ask her out." to friend A, which suited me fine since I wasn't into Friend A at all. Everything seemed to be fine for a couple of weeks then Friend D was telling me that he wants to set me up with someone, I asked him why he was so intent on setting me up with someone and he replied that he wants someone to take care of me. I said I didn't someone to take care of me I just need someone who does housework (I really hate housework) and all of the sudden Friend B mumbles up "I do housework." Sticky moment right? I'm thinking "Oh, well maybe he's just saying that so I don't give up hope or something.", but he then proceeded to argue with Friend D whether or not he does housework. I should mention I was kinda speechless by this point. I brushed it aside and acted like nothing had happened, but was keeping a closer eye on Friend B. Since then, I've noticed him (Friend B) moving in kind of protectively if we're walking or agreeing with me when I don't think he normally would. Also, he's very talkative if Friend A isn't around and he also offered to help on an insanely large house project and has done almost half the work on his own, wanting nothing in return, it's just out of the kindness of his heart. He's also hugging a little more tightly than I remember and trying to beat out other people to get a hug from me first. There are other things that have happened but that's the general gist, Am I losing what's left of my mind or is there something extra going on?What is Degrassi? Question #17:Membrane sweep on 'thick' cervix?Hi everyone,I'm 40+4 days and have just been to see the midwife for a (very painful) membrane sweep. She said it probably won't work as my cervix is still thick and hasn't dilated. Has anyone been in the same situation and it's worked? Also, I now have little hope that I'll have had the baby before my induction date (in 10 day's time). Am I right to think that I'd have probably begun to thin out if the baby was going to arrive on his own before then? I am very worried as I don't want to be induced and the thought of waiting another possible 2 weeks is horrendous! Question #18:Have you ever gotten a response from the North Pole, what do they write?I hope USPS doesn't cancel the program!Click Here I sent a letter when I was a kid but I don't think I got one back lol. I'd remember it. I wish my parents had kept it for me to see later on. But I do remember what I wrote, I wanted a bike. And I did get a bike, my parents must've read it. You think? :) It was a blue tricycle. Ahhh, memories! Question #19:LeBron James will be a DALLAS MAVERICK next year?The term is "having your cake, and eating it too."LeBron has already said that the only teams he'd really consider going to would be: Cleveland - New York - New Jersey - Chicago - Miami - Los Angeles - Dallas Now obviously, he could just agree to stay in Cleveland and make 6 years/$125 million, but how competent is his GM? His big move this offseason was getting 40-year-old Shaq, who really doesn't do anything to help the team, and the Cavs are realistically only the 3rd best team in the East still. So it would make the most sense for LeBron to go somewhere else by A) Leaving B) Demanding a sign and trade so let's look at the other teams: New York and New Jersey: Neither of these teams can do much to sign and trade him, so they'd have to hope he just comes to them for 5 years/$91 million. Both of those teams suck though, doesn't seem worth losing $30 million to go to a worse team. Chicago and Miami: Both teams have the cap space to get him for $91 million, or could somehow miraculously get him in a sign and trade. The problem is neither team has anything Cleveland would really agree to for the sign and trade. They could be a great team, but still, if he does end up on the same team as Wade, he'll probably only be making $91 million compared to Wade making $125 million. If you're LeBron, are you willing to put your ego aside to make $30 million less and possibly not be considered the leader? His ego is too big. If he were to somehow get with Wade via sign and trade and they both make $125 million, the team would be gutted, and those 2 alone with scrubs couldn't win a championship. There will also be no "three headed monster" in Miami. If you honestly believe this is possible, you need to stop watching basketball. No way two of the three best players in the league take a paycut IN THEIR PRIME and no way 3 guys take up 95% of a team's salary cap. They'd still wouldn't win a Championship with 3 superstars and a bunch of scrubs. Los Angeles: I don't think Los Angeles really has anything to offer in a sign and trade except Bynum, but if you're Cleveland, are you willing to take on his $30 million over the next 2 years and see him get injured over and over? Plus do you really think LeBron could manage to co-exist with Kobe, much like the Wade scenario above? And that finally leaves Dallas. Dallas has the contracts to get Cleveland to agree to the sign and trade. (Instant cut from Dampier and Howard's contract = $35 million in cap relief to pick up another superstar possibly, or a few great players.) So if you're LeBron, why wouldn't you want to go to a team that's already winning 55 games, where you could get a max contract, play with another superstar in Dirk, play with Kidd who you're good friends with, and have an owner who has the money to give you everything you could ever want while you're playing for his team? Dallas is a top 5 media market, and he can still make his 6 years/$125 million, but on a good team. Cleveland has set themselves up where it would be pretty damn hard to get Bosh to come to the team and still be under next year's new Salary Cap, and they have nothing of value really to sign and trade Person with the clown picture, do you understand why a team would want instant cap relief over bloated contracts, especially for Bynum who's made of glass, and Artest who's an idiot? Do you actually have an idea how a sign and trade even works? Question #20:Girlfriends' sexual promiscuity = shorter relationship span?So I have this girlfriend whom I love so much; and she loves me too. We'd do anything for each other and have even thought about maybe getting married in the future.Anyway, something that has concerned me though is that, she very casually always wants to have sex. She's very um.. sexual with me. :P Even when we're alone at random times she would flash me her um... chestal region. :P [I hope this question isn't too inappropriate for yahoo answers. ] Not that I don't like sex, it's just that I just feel that maybe with all this, she might get tired of me sooner and maybe we won't last that long in our relationship... Maybe she thinks the only reason I love her is because I want to make love with her. Maybe she might want to break up with me when she gets bored to find another guy; I don't know.. I think maybe I think about this too much. I'm afraid of losing her; I love her so much... I know she doesn't do this with others; we're very faithful with each other, and trust each other. Am I right to think that there's a chance we may not last long together because of this? Or am I just overthinking? Or maybe it's just because I grew up in a very conservative family where sexual intercourse isn't allowed until marriage, and I naturally feel this way because of that. ** Powered by Yahoo Answers |
