Bloody Diarhea PLEASE HELP?

OK so 25 minutes ago I took a crap, and it was normal, the same as any other day.





Then as i was trying to release gas, about 15 minutes ago, i released a little diarrhea, to my horror it was blood red





This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and somthing worth noting -


2 days ago i had a japanese steakhouse dinner, where i had lobster and shrimp - somthing did not settle with me that dinner and every time i took a bite of the lobster my entire body became very very hot, to the point where i started sweating, and i felt like i would need to throw up - but i didnt throw up i just sat through it





please help me understand what is going on right now i am very very worried





- i feel completely normal right now





i have had lobster in the past and i am not allergic to it|||Bloody diarrhea is serious, and usually is a sign of internal hemorrhaging. Definitely see a doctor if you can, especially if it happens again. You might have some form of food poisoning; some of them, like Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, etc can be pretty serious.





I have a question though... Why did you continue eating the food if it made you feel sick?|||It could be a simple hemorrhoid. If it continues or if the blood is dark in color see a dr. Brief periods of expelling red blood could simply be the result of some small injury in the intestines or anus that will heal itself. Continuous or dark blood or more than a day warrants being seen.

Boyfriends 18th Birthday?!?

Alright, we have been together for almost 9months. I plan to do like a lil scavenger hunt (seems kinda lame but if you knew him you know he would like it) Im doing riddles and hiding little presents around his house (his favorite candy, new hollister shirt, sun glasses, new wallet, teddy bear, etc) and then taking him to a Japanese Steakhouse and on a Ghost tour.





I need to know a few things, is this enough? I would think so...neither of us really come from money but i don't want him to think im cheap.


Does anyone have any other ideas for little gifts that i can hide around his house?!





Im also doing streamers and putting balloons everywhere that he has to pop to get the first clue.|||That's an important one...

If you are questioning if what you are doing is enough this place might be a good start http://www.adultfriendsocial.com/Forums/鈥?/a>

Six Month Anniversary Idea?

My girl friend and I are about to celebrate our six months of being together. My idea for celebrating it is to replay the night I asked her out. I asked her the night of our senior prom. I had her find envelopes that gave her words to the question "will you go out with me?" but the "me?" was written on a shirt i was wearing. she came upstairs to find me and the shirt with a rose. So for our six month, first I was goin to take her to the same place we ate that night, a japanese steakhouse. Following that, we will go back to my house where I will have her find evelopes that tell her where to find a surprise, a dress and a final letter that tells her to meet me in the other room. i will be there with the "me?" tshirt and a jacket and slacks. I will then play a song or two that we dance to. then i will give her either a scrapbook or book of poems (that i have gone through and picked the ones i feel i can relate to) and while she is goin through that, i will bring her a promise ring to promise that i will continue to love her and no one else and that i will always be there for her. What do you guys think?|||depends on your age. but it does sound all very sweet|||Well, I have to say that I think that idea is very very very good! I think that she would really like that and the scrapbook/book of poems/promise ring really seems to make it even better because you are doing that from your thoughts and feelings, which should make her really happy and feel special.





I also think the idea of getting her to remember the night of your senior prom was really good. What girl wouldn't want to remember the night her boyfriend asked her out? I, personally, think that you should do what you planned above because I am sure that would make her feel really special to know that you did all of that for her. Great idea!





Good luck and happy 6th month anniversary! :D

Is he still interested in me?

Alright, so last night, this guy and I went out on our first date together. He picked me up, then we went to see Little Fockers. He paid for the both of us and saw a friend in the movie theater. He told him that he was just 'taking a lady out to the movies', and then they talked for a little bit before we were making our way to the room. Throughout the movie we both laughed a lot, and then when it was time to go, he checked his cell and told me it was about time to go pick up his roommate and his roommate's girlfriend, cause we were going out to dinner with him. He was a total gentleman, he held doors open for me, pulled out my chair, and even picked up my glass and carried it over when we had to switch tables. (We were eating at a Japanese steakhouse and the table we were sitting at didn't have a working grill.) Anyways, we talked a bit while we waited but him and his friend did most of the talking. Just joking around and such. Then we left, and went back to his place to watch a movie. He had his cousin come over, her ex gf, and a friend. We had to share a recliner chair, so we were pretty much smooshed together but it was nice because we cuddled. He put his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. Even kissed him on his cheek. When the movie was over, I announced that I had to get home because my curfew was nearing. He seemed really sad when I told him that, and got much quieter after. On the drive home we conversated a bit and when he finally pulled up, he parked and kind of looked at me so I leant in to give him a kiss on the cheek and he kissed me on the cheek back, hugged me, and told me he had a fun time. He made sure I got inside before he left, and we talked a bit on facebook last night about the night. He told me I'm his girl, ect. Told me I should message him tomorrow when I wake up because his phone is turned off. He needs a new SIM card for it. Anyways, what do you guys think? And sorry it's so long, I just really need advice. Do you think he'll ask for another date? I thought it went pretty well.|||YYEESSS!!! He will ask for another date...silly. Obviously he was into you. He also sounds like a great guy!

I have a friend issue.. advice please?

2 months ago I invited a friend if mine to eat at a japanese steakhouse for dinner on my birthday. We had a great time and everything. I've been friends with her for the beginning of the school year and now everytime I ask her if we can hang out, its always "Oh i'm busy babysitting." " I'm grounded." Then on facebook I see that she always put statuses about hanging out with her other friend at the mall etc on the day she told me those exuses. Then I think, well aren't you grounded and aren't you babysitting? I'm not jealous but sometimes I think she is lying. In school she talks about having a pool party in the Summer. She talked about everyone she was invtiting but she never asked me. The reason why I know for sure is because right in front of me, she said to someone else " Yeah, I'm done inviting people." I thought.. well I invited her to dinner and she never wants to hang out. Can I have advice on how to talk to her about it. Maybe she's not a true friend and she could be using me. -__- Oh and she talks to me in school and acts nice.. so thats whats really bothering me too.|||Some people do that, they act nice and all and promise all kinds of things

to do together and such to no avail and then it never happens.

These people are just "talkers" they have chosen their group of friends or acquaintances

and will not be bothered with whom they have not regarded as part of their choice, putting up

just a front.

Do not let this bother you. You don't need someone like that, people like that it's all about them. Pay no more attention to her and find yourself some nice friends you can relate to that will walk the walk and talk the talk.|||I think you should just stop talking to her at school and she questions you about ask her how her pool party was and then walk away.|||I would just go up to her and be like, "listen, I had a really fun time when we went to that japanese restaurant and I know that you did too, but now I feel like you are trying to avoid me. If you don't want to be friends, that's cool, but tell me now so i don'tt have to keep guessing"



I had the same sort of thing happen to me with my BFF. We went out for my b-day and then she kept making up all of these excuses to avoid me and hang out with her other BFF. then, i told her the same thing i told you and she said she didn't want to hurt my feelings by saying she was with the other girl. Now we all go places together|||She ain't really your true friend, real friends don't treat people like that. She should have the decency to at least ask if you would like to attend this party after you have taken her out to the Japanese meal. I should still converse with her at school but would also look for someone else for a friend and make sure she is a friend before you splash out on treats like a Japanese meal for two. And on fb don't acknowledge that you have seen her posts or have read them, you should move on to new friends both at school and at home she will realise after awhile that you have other friends and want to know why you don't associate with her anymore, then you can tell her how you feel or how much it upset you when you found out she wasn't grounded or baby sitting and didn't get an invite to the party if you like. This will hurt her more than it hurt you so good luck and hope you make new friends.|||She is flaky and doesn't want to be your friend and it's easier for her to lie to you than tell the truth. Middle school is the worst, and I can't imagine going through it again with facebook being around. Find someone who appreciates your friendship-you will have a lot more fun.

    Interracial dating conflict with my family?

    I love my family very much but when it comes to me and my happiness and my own choices I have problems with them.I was talking with my aunt about me dating and she says "She better be black".I was upset and I told her the truth that I really don't care what race my wife will be as long as she is beautiful to me,makes me fill complete and loves me.My cousin will get at me all the time too and I don't like it one bit.





    My mom and aunt are even rude at oriental and mexican restaurants.My aunt literally made unrelenting complaint after complaint about not wanting rice in her noodles at a Japanese steakhouse restaurant on my birthday(my grandmother served them it so much she hates it).My mom says all of the time that if I bring a asian girl home she isn't sitting on the floors.It angers me so much that they say these things considering we are black and my grandmother,their own mother is half black and half native american.My aunt and mom will not except the fact that the themselves aren't just black.My aunt even said no about me liking a girl I know from Africa.





    It sucks so much how they are so discriminate and they themselves are discriminated against and I don't know why they care that I marry someone who isn't like them.It's like they expect me to marry a relative or cousin.|||your life is your life. Anyone not accepting your happiness is not worthy of being in *your* life.|||I'm really sorry, but in the end you'll have to do what makes you happy. You can't please everyone and they are wrong for being like that. I can see where your coming from. My parents and grandparents want me to stay in my race. It's stupid but if you find someone that you really love and they aren't in your race then don't listen to them. It shouldn't matter what they look like as long as you love them. Hope things work out for you!|||Yeah, some people are like that. My family doesn't want me dating a White guy at all, but at the same time, my mom wants me to have kids that carry on my dad's look, which is green eyes and red/blonde hair! Whatever. Anyway, I think you should date who you want. Just don't act like all Black women act like your family. I get so sick of having to hear Black men stereotype Black women just as bad as racist whites.





    Also, I personally think Black Americans who date out should at least educate themselves on AA culture. I see many Black people who are uneducated and know NOTHING about where we come from. What will their biracial kids think?? Thats the problem though, because too many Black people have no pride in our ancestors or what they struggled for. We've become a group of people who only want to make our individual selves happy. Thats terrible and its breaking apart our community.|||Just do yourself a favor and date who you want. I know it might seem like that will be hard but date who you want and when you come across someone you really like then warn them of how your family is. The truth is it sounds like you are surrounded by alot unhappy women within themselves. A mother and aunt should accept and love any woman you bring home as long as they are respectful. But there is no reason to worry about it till there is a woman you are serious about in the picture. Who knows you might fall for someone who they will like and if not then the truth is you have to live your life you can't do that trying to make everybody else happy. After you are an adult you make your own decisions. I'm white and have a similar problem with my family since I date latino men but I don't care what they say I'm going to do what makes me happy and if they dont like it then oh well my life and my happiness not theirs.

    Is sake a shot or a drink?

    im going to a japanese steakhouse tonight for sushi and my boyfriend and i are going to try sake.. neither of us have ever had it and we are going to ask the waiter for his suggestion of the brand we try that will best compliment our dinner... i have seen it served in tiny cups so i am wondering if i am supposed to take it as a shot or sip it? is it low in alcohol content?





    and just out of curiosity... to those of u who drink sake what brand do u like? what would be ur recomendation?





    thanks guys =)|||It is a drink.





    Sake is considered a "rice wine" although it's made more like beer, which is simply fermented rice. It is clear, has a mild but boozy flavor and is often served warm in a small, individual carafe.





    It is poured into a tiny ceramic glass that looks like a shot glass, but it is supposed to be sipped (and since it is served warm, like would not go down very easy anyway).





    It doesn't have the same flavor variations and pairing complications of regular wine; most sakes complement all Japanese cooking since its flavor is rather neutral.





    Ask your waiter/waitress for sake brand recommendations as it varies between restaurants and many only serve one type.|||sake is rice wine. it's not low in alcohol content. it gives you a pretty good buzz. it's normally sipped and you can have it hot or cold.


    I don't have a favourite brand but I do really like unfiltered sake. I find it tastier and the texture is milkier.|||It's a drink. Sake is rice wine, you can get and "hot" sake or "cold" sake.|||You rather take a shot, that **** is strong like a **********.|||Sake is rice wine. It's not so good..|||Sake is rice wine





    In Japan sake is served chilled, at room temperature, or heated, depending on the preference of the drinker, the quality of the sake, and the season. Typically, hot sake is a winter drink, and high-grade sake is not drunk hot, because the flavors and aromas will be lost. This masking of flavor is the reason that low-quality sake is often served hot.





    Sake is usually drunk from small cups called choko and poured into the choko from ceramic flasks called tokkuri. Saucer-like cups called sakazuki are also used, most commonly at weddings and other ceremonial occasions. Recently, footed glasses made specifically for premium sake have also come into use.





    Another traditional cup is the masu, a box usually made of hinoki or sugi, which was originally used for measuring rice. In some Japanese restaurants, as a show of generosity, the server may put a glass inside the masu or put the masu on a saucer and pour until sake overflows and fills both containers.





    Aside from being served straight, sake can be used as a mixer for cocktails, such as tamagozake, saketinis, nogasake, or the sake bomb.

    Do you think I should quit my job?

    I work at a Japanese Steakhouse as a busboy. My job description is



    1. Clean grills

    2.reset tables

    3. light grills





    The past two sundays I have gone off on two of my co workers. This is the synopsis



    The past two sundays that I've worked we have gotten extremly busy which is abnormal considering that they only have me as the busyboy on sunday. When we are busy we usually have two busboys. Anyway last Sunday, I was cleaning grills when people kept coming over fussing with me for not lighting the grill that people have sat at the table. I replied that I've been busy cleaning the other grills that were dirty. One of my coworkers who is a server walked to the grill I was cleaning and starting fussing with me that I'm not doing my job and complaining that she had been cleaning the tables I wasn't at. I replied that I had 5 tables I'm constantly being told to clean then when i go to the tables people tell me to go light a grill. She walks to the back. I pick up the bus pan and carrry it to the back to give to the cleaners. I hear the server Natalie saying "Shaun has been sitting on his a** doing nothing while I've been doing his job." Not being the kind to let anyone run their mouth about me when I hear about it I walk over and say "Sitting on my a**? If I remember correctly I've been cleaning tables and other sh*t. I've got 5 different tables I'm doing and every two seconds someone is fussing with me for not doing something else." Then she starts her response and we go back and forth in incomprehensible yelling and cussing and The Cleaner tells her to stop cussing at me and I leave and say "Sitting on my ***? F*ck that sh*t" we come into contact again and she says "Well apparently ur not doing your job good enough, All the other busboys can handle it. I told her "Well get another f*cking busboy to come then" and she goes to the back and I go to empty the pan again and the manager is back there fussing at her. then everything was alright, I apologized to the manager saying that I'm srry things aren't getting done quickly but I can't do 20 tables at one time. He says its fine and he knows we are busy.||| It takes two people to have an argument if you care about trying to do a good job put your job before your feeling do not cuss in a place where the public can hear. Management will notice you are the one making effort to be polite in front of costumers they will want to keep you more than someone willing to cuss in front of their customers.

    Doing a good job goes hand and hand with self-respect.

    Good luck

  • What do I have? [sickness] Please help, I'm scared..?

    Well, on Saturday I went to Busch Gardens Europe. The weather was miserable. It was freezing (When we would get off of a roller coaster, we couldn't feel out hands, face, etc.) I sounded kind of stuffed up that night, as was pointed out by my mom over the phone.


    That night, at a fabulous Japanese Steakhouse, I began to feel sick. My hands and face got clammy, and I couldn't really breathe out of my nose.


    The next day, the day when we went home (back to Roanoke) I was feeling worse. I had the same symptoms as before, but alot worse. Plus, I had nausea and dizziness. When I got back to my house, I took ibuprofen and mucinex with some water to help with my congestion, then went to bed.


    The next day, I was a million times worse. My eyes had swollen to where I couldn't move them, I had an everlasting headache, and my back had begun to hurt on top of all of the symptoms I had before. My mom let me stay home that day, and called ever so often to check on me. She even told me that I was sounding worse every time she called.


    Yesterday, I went to school for a half day. (Every Wednesday I have counseling. Usually after our appt, my mom takes me home and lets me stay home for the rest of the day) I was feeling better. My congestion was a little bit better, my eyes were still swollen, but my back pain was gone. I thought I was getting better, but I was wrong.


    Today, I woke up and my old symptoms were back, and with a vengeance. This time, I felt as if you had taken how I was 2 days ago, and multiplied that by about 4. I woke up gagging, and ten minutes after I woke up, I was bending over the toilet, trying to keep last night's dinner in my stomach.

    but valentines day is coming up.. last sunday he took me out to dinner and a movie which was nice ya no? But I keep saying valentines day is coming up I wanted to go out to dinner then.. I wanted to go to this japanese steakhouse and he said that was to much money. I offered to help pay but he said no.. for me and him both would be like 60 dollars which is basically what he spent on the movies and dinner on sunday... Hes going out and buying these things and I feel like hes not even thinking about valentines day. I mean I would just be happy with a handmade card. I just wanna know that he cares.. but I dont think he does. what do I do.

    b-cheerios


    l-ham %26amp; cheese on light wheat bread


    d-chicken fried rice at a japanese steakhouse


    snacks- i was hungry when i got back again.

    You also get quite abit of exercize so you're burning most of what you ear.





    You don't eat that much, and some of these people whom have commented are just messing with you, and some just extremely unknowlaged.





    You're eatting under 1,300 calories .. which usually is for weightloss- i'd reccomend that you acctrually increase you're intake abit while adding some fruit/ vegetables and calcium!





    Ex: - Adding a cup of 1% milk at breakfast with you're cearel and 1/4 cup dried fruit, 1/2 cup berries, or 1 medium fruit- banana, apple, orange, etc..





    - Adding an apple with you're lunch





    - Instead of the baked lays/ wheat crackers consume 1/4 cup nut's or 1/2 cup trail mix for healthy fats/ protein.


    - Try adding a yoghurt/ cottage cheese in as a snack too!





    Hope i'v helped, goodluck|||No not at all. I think that its perfectly normal.

    Why does society try teaching you that there's certain things you HAVE to do to be "normal"?

    I.e. I just turned 21 five days ago, and I'm not big on drinking...I'll probably have like the occasional glass of wine now that I can buy it, but I have absolutely zero desire to go out to clubs and get trashed or any of that.

    So in the weeks before my birthday, several of my friends told me that I "HAD" to drink on my birthday because it's "just what you have to do when you turn 21." When I responded that I'd much rather have a nice dinner at a Japanese steakhouse or something instead, I got the "awwwww come on"s and "but you have to"s.



    I also have I guess "unusual" views on dating...I don't date guys unless I feel an extremely strong connection with them because otherwise I just feel like I'm wasting my time trying to convince myself I'm into a guy that I'm really not that crazy about, and I also avoid relationships I know are going to eventually fail because, frankly, I'm not a fan of heartbreak or spending months with someone just to have him exit your life one day.



    And my sister is the complete opposite; she dates every single guy who so much as looks at her because she has to have a boyfriend all of the time. So she's constantly making fun of me for it and trying to make me look bad in front of her friends...not just with the dating thing, but like her friend asked me to buy them alcohol, and she said "she's not like us" in the most condescending voice ever.



    Why are such shallow things supposed to define our worth in society? I don't mean shallow in the sense that everyone who drinks to get drunk is "shallow"..I mean shallow in the sense that it sounds rather silly to me to say "if you don't drink this beverage, you're a loser."|||I sometimes think people want you to drink to reinforce their own behavior.

    If you went out and was the only one drunk all the time you might wish to question your behavior, however if EVERYONE around you was the same there would be no reason to confront your behavior.|||Normal is anyones definition. Give yourself a pat on the back for being more socially cultivated and mature than your peers.|||Good for you. Stand your ground. I am one of those such people.

I never once went out and got "trashed" on my 21st Birthday. I spent it with my family, and relatives at a nice restaurant. Continue to be the "Loser" they think you are. :) It's the best thing to be, as far as I'm concerned. Your friends are NOT Friends if they want to FORCE You to drink, just because you are 21. I am 43 and I still get carded trying to buy wine for my husband. Give me a break.|||I'm trying to figure out the exact same thing. I just don't get society. Why are people going out, getting trashed and going home with a different man every weekend? Why do we have to make ourselves look like matchsticks to be beautiful? Why are men treating women like sex toys?

    Really, it is pathetic and shallow. What about manners? Where have they gone? What happened to chivalry? Where has having a bit of class gone?

    Call me old fashioned.|||It is viewed as a rite of passage in college-speak. Basically they are trying to encourage you to be more outgoing when that may be in fact outside of your nature. You have every right not to participate in this rite because it is designed for the cultural norm that doesn't befit every individual. I understand exactly where you're coming from as I didn't feel it to be relevant to partake in that either until a bit later in my years when I was with a more comfortable set of friends(the real kind).



    Don't take it so hard, they're just trying to get you to be outgoing and they cannot comprehend anyone being anything but. I'm sure you are smart enough to think of something clever to weasel your way out of an awkward situation of refusing a drink ;).|||You are *SO* right. I'm a 20 year old guy and I have never had any alcohol, alcohol is the reason I don't know my Dad, it's pointless and it destroys lives. But my friends don't try to get me to drink or take drugs because they know it will NEVER happen, not in a million years. Remember, most people are idiots. Every time I speak to a new person or watch television I become more assured that humanity is a pile of dolts. Don't ever give in to peer-pressure.



    I agree with you on the dating thing as well. I don't really like promiscuity. I have never asked a girl out, but luckily in the last four years or so a few girls I know have taken an interest in me and they have asked me out.



    You're right, don't do what you think you're "supposed" to do. Just stick by your morals.|||Wow, you sound just like my son.



    Your sister needs to learn to accept you for who you are. There's a lot of pressure from society to be like everyone else (which always makes me think they'd be the kind who'd jump off a bridge if all their friends were jumping off bridges). You don't need added family pressure.



    Be who you are; people who don't accept you are jerks.

  • What kind of noodles and cooking sauce/seasonings do hibachi/teppanyaki chefs use for stir fry?

    I am absolutely in love with teppanyaki meals at out local Japanese Steakhouse restaurant. I am trying to recreate the dishes at home, but I am struggling with the stir fry noodles. I bought udon noodles last time, but they are definitely not the same taste or texture. I realize that all the places might use different noodles, but I was hoping that someone knows what kind of noodles I need to buy to make this awesome stir fry for myself.





    Also, the noodles they used at this restaurant were yellow. Oh and maybe someone might know what kind of cooking spices or sauces they use? Thanks!|||Go to this site. meltingwok.com I use peanut sauce. Check the site out.

    Did i really GAIN 4 lbs overnight?

    I AM A RECOVERING BULIMIC.





    Last night was my 15th b day and i had a dinner party to celebrate. We went to a japanese steakhouse called Wasabi and i had grilled shrimp, teriyaki chicken with fried rice. After i ate that i felt really full and my stomach was sort of sticking out and i didnt like that. But, i was STILL HUNGRY. So after we left Wasabi we decided to walk our city's towncenter and go shopping. It was hard for me because there are so many thin girls where i live and im medium sized. But anyways when got home me and my sister decided to go up to Publix(grocery store) and get some snacks. I had a bag of skittles and two medium sized bags of Cool Ranch Doritos. So after that, I had high hopes about not gaining weight and that i will be able to keep my food down[I'm a recovering bulimic remember?] So this morning i woke up and i weighed myself and i went from 139.5lbs to 143lbs OVERNIGHT!


    I'm really panicking right now, im so scared of becoming fat because ive suffered from that already.





    Note: I WORK OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.[ 1 MILE RUN, 100 CRUNCHES, 50 JUMPING JACKS.]





    Maybe my metabolism isnt high enough???? or, my scale isnt right??





    im thinking about not eating anymore.





    i dont care, but i just want to know, did i really gain 4lbs just from eating dinner and some snacks???





    REMEMBER, I AM A RECOVERING BULIMIC!! i was bulimic for 6 months and ive been recovering for about 3-4 days now.|||These things happen when you weigh yourself everyday. I've noticed similar things during my weight loss. When you weighed yourself yesterday, you're scale may not have been set to "0". Also, you may have been dehydrated when you weighed yourself.


    Believe me, there's no way to gain 4 lbs. in one day. You're fine, stop stressing.|||gee. don't eat soooooo much junk food at once...|||Do not weigh yourself every day. Always weigh your self at the same time every week and wear approximately the same thing.





    Remember muscle weighs more than fat. Take measurements/





    Make sure you are working with a mental health professional that understands eating disorders.|||it's really only 3.5 lbs... not 4, u can lose it again

    Six Month Annivesary Idea?

    My girl friend and I are about to celebrate our six months of being together. My idea for celebrating it is to replay the night I asked her out. I asked her the night of our senior prom. I had her find envelopes that gave her words to the question "will you go out with me?" but the "me?" was written on a shirt i was wearing. she came upstairs to find me and the shirt with a rose. So for our six month, first I was goin to take her to the same place we ate that night, a japanese steakhouse. Following that, we will go back to my house where I will have her find evelopes that tell her where to find a surprise, a dress and a final letter that tells her to meet me in the other room. i will be there with the "me?" tshirt and a jacket and slacks. I will then play a song or two that we dance to. then i will give her either a scrapbook or book of poems (that i have gone through and picked the ones i feel i can relate to) and while she is goin through that, i will bring her a promise ring to promise that i will continue to love her and no one else and that i will always be there for her. What do you guys think?|||you Should wait for your 1st year anniversary, if you celebrate every month of each year the only thing your going to do is to spoil her and when you are not able to give her something she is going to be really upset.|||I think that is a really sweet idea/ My (now) husband and i celebrated our 6 month. it is a milestone. Enjoy it and don't let anyone put you down for it.

    Legal Advice; I think my boss is wrong?

    Ok, I am a server. I work at a Japanese steakhouse.


    This is what i think is illegal:


    At the end of the night we have to tip out (yes thats normal not a problem)


    however


    for the dining side we tip out 30% (for the sushi chefs even though they make much more hourly than we do, and they have a tip jar out on the counter)


    and for the Teppan Yaki we tip out 10% to house and then split 50/50 the rest for the teppan chefs... (even though they are on salary too....)





    but he is taking the money we tip out and using it to pay all the employees...


    So when I have worked a 12-13 hour shift, when I should have walked out with $155, i leave with $70.





    Is it legal for him to make the servers tip out so much and for that to go to our paychecks?


    I'm sorry but I'm pregnant and I work hard to make large tips from customers, but at the end of the night I'm barely walking out with anything.





    Any and all help and advice would be great thanks.|||It sounds odd; but the Local National Labor relations Board office could tell you for sure if it's legal or not.





    I'd start there|||Its not illegal based on his resaurants method of paying people with the tip money. If you don't like it, go work somewhere else where they treat your tip money more in your favor.|||Sounds like Obamas plan already at work.


    Good luck.|||it doesn't sound right. might be time to find another place to work at.|||I dont think there are any laws about what goes on with tipping other than you have to claim it on your tax return. I think since your tips are created by you working at the restaurant the owner can make any rules he wants about tipping...





    It sounds like this isnt a great place to work.. find another job where your tips are your own...... its sounds like many people are benefitting from your hard work for sure.....








    Added: okay if you cant find other work than you should have a meeting with all other servers and see if they feel the same.. if they do approach the owner as a group and tell him your concerns.... explain why you all feel this is wrong.... that is about your only option... even if there was a law... as soon as you try to use it, you would most likely be let go..... if the discussion doesnt work... then you either have to accept it or walk....|||Most bosses take 50% of the tips.


    You waiters and bussers split up the rest between yourselves.





    It is the American way.


    The boss does what he wants.


    If you don't like it leave.





    Our society is really unfair, huh?|||Well make sure that you are first getting your minimum wage minues taxes. I'm sure you only claim yourself right now, right? So they probably take a lot of taxes out. If you're getting paid under the table than they can pretty much do anything they want to you. But say you make $8/hr (CA min wage) than you should be getting about $96/night if you work 12 hours and don't take a lunch and than subtract your taxes. BUT... they shouldn't take your tips. Maybe you should talk with them about the tips and how you should get them for your tables. And/Or look for another job. You may be able to work in a store, get benefits, have less work, so you can sit more and even possibly better pay. :)

    How to politely phrase HS graduation/Army "send-off" party invitations?

    My daughter is graduating from high school and then leaving for the military within two weeks. We do NOT want my in-laws at our house AT ALL, for a variety of reasons. We do, however, want to invite them for the sake of their grandchild. So, to be equitable, we want to make it clear that we are meeting for dinner, and then going to a play. We will pay for dinner (NOT alcohol) at a Japanese Steakhouse close to the theater, but they have to pay for their own hotel and (reduced) theater tickets.

    How do we make this clear,without being rude? Also, no one is needy or can't afford it--in fact, we are probably the lowest income of all of them. We don't expect them to completely cover everything, but the dinner is seriously all we can afford.



    Any suggestions?|||The invitation should be for the dinner only. You can add a note telling them that after dinner you are taking your daughter to a play and informing them of where they can purchase tickets if they'd like to attend. Enclose information on hotels in the area and maybe mention the ones you think they'd enjoy most.

    There is not truly polite way to tell someone they aren't welcome in your home, but I hope this helps.|||Please join us on May 17th to help us send off (daughter) in style. Dinner will begin at 6:00pm at (name) Steakhouse, located at 123 Main Street in Chicago. In respects to (daughter) this will be an alcohol-free evening.



    If you wish to join us, we will be attending (play) play after dinner at (name) theater. Tickets are $40 and can be purchased by calling 800-123-4567.



    The Hilton Garden Inn has rooms available for $139 a night. Please use discount code HSA when booking. 1-800-123-4567.|||This is simple to do.....



    We, (Your names) are inviting you to join in the graduation celebration and going away party for (daughter name) on (date ) at (location.)

    We will have dinner at (time.)



    Please RSVP by (date) with who will be attending.



    Please be advised that all alcohol will be on a cash bar basis.



    After dinner, we will be going to (local theatre). If you wish to join us at the (theatre name) you can purchase your tickets by (insert how to purchase and cost).



    Thank you.|||My dying grandmother and I are taking a trip to So. Africa in June. She will be wearing a bracelet around her neck. I am to purchase one 4 miles East of the Chinese Embassy. Should I get a spear for her? If so, are they heavy? She will need an extra hand to carry her oxygen.

  • Can I throw a bday party for my husband and not pay for guests dinner?

    I want to take my husband out for dinner at a Japanese steakhouse for his birthday. I thought it would be fun to include his parents (we're close with them), and a couple friends. We don't really have the money to pay for everyone, since that type of meal can get pricey. Is it ok to invite people to meet us for dinner if we aren't paying for them? If so, how can I invite them and make it clear? I don't want to be cheap, but we're expecting our first child and really have no wiggle room financially, but I don't want my husband's birthday to go unnoticed/celebrated!


    Thanks!|||You are exploring uncharted waters. Why not have a traditional tea party?|||Yes it's fine not to pay for them! I mean you're not at a sweet sixteen or anything, where everything is paid for the guests. Your friends should understand that money is tight and though they may think you're a bit stingy for a week or so, they'll get over it. Don't worry about it, it sounds like a great plan and I bet your husband will love it!|||





    Yes, of course.... and a great way to give the head's up that you're not paying for everyone is this:





    let your guests know the restrauant you're going to, the date, etc,


    and then let them know the average entree prices on the menu...





    "you'll love the food there, and i wanted to keep the price down for everyone, and their entrees only run about $15.00" (for example)|||ofcourse why not, my friends threw a party for themselves two weeks after their bdays and we paid for ourselves even tho the resturant sucked|||No, if you throw a party you should pay for the people you invited. If you don't want to pay, then consider having a potluck at your house and take your husband out another night.





    The only exception I could see is if your friends and parents do the same to you... do they invitie you out and then make you pay? If they pick up the tab you should too. Otherwise it's tacky.|||Tell them it's a potluck party or dutch dinner. Don't mention the birthday or they will think you want gifts.|||I would say if you are inviting them to a "party" then yes you should pay but if you just let everyone know that you are going out to eat to celebrate with him then no you need not pay for everyone.|||It is not expected that you pay for everyone's meal.





    That is more taboo when it comes to children's birthday parties, but you will be fine.





    Everyone expects to pay for their own meal.





    Have a good time!|||I went out with friends a few weeks ago. Same situation. They did pay for the drinks and we paid for the food ourselfs.|||Once you invite them tell them what the average meal cost there, and say that is his favorite place to eat. This way they are not going to suggest going some where else. Your friends shouldn't assume that you will foot the bill. Invite them anyway and if they show they show, or get to RSVP you back by a certain time. More than likely if people come, they will pay for his Birthday dinner if they are good friends. Good Luck|||Ok, It may just be me, but normally in my experience when someone goes out for dinner with friends to "celebrate" people pay for their own meal. To be truthful, I know many friends who sneak around and steal the bill and treat the b-day person with a free meal and some alchol.





    I'd say that if you want to make it clear, you could just say... Everyone is paying for themselves... Or if your really tight for money, maybe it's better to have a BBQ, you provide the meat and drinks and ask everyone else to provide some side dish, deserts, and beer (if your into that). Personally, I like the BBQ and have more food than some of teh fancy places I've been to.

    My bf belittles me and I have a secret I have been keeping?

    My bf has been belittling about not being a succeeding woman and wanting to know if I was going somewhere with my life. He said "Had I known you were living with my Grandmother and didn't have a job I would of never spoke to you." He also always says his ex is this or that and always had a job.





    So I got tired of him saying this and decided to fill my entire about me out. This is what he didn't know about me.





    ~My goals and successes~





    I have been in many art shows in the past and have won a few awards in 2nd and 3rd placing as well as a Commercial arts medal and certificate degree. I have a few travel painting that are all over in different places and have a few copyrights on some of my paintings that were signed over to traveling art shows and fairs. I am currently dedicating a painting to Japan relief and collaborate with other artist in group projects that contain both cash prizes and winnings that are split and shared among the attenders. I am apart of a few meetup groups and show case some of my artwork in meetings that are held a few times yearly. The current art show I am attending will be held in November where I introduce the completed Koi painting dedicated to Japan and those who passed away in the tsunami with a hidden prayer wall within the painting. I worked as a patch designer for clothing and accessories in 2008 at Sew N Sew Designs. In 2010 I worked at Yamato Japanese steakhouse as waittressing. I have been offered teaching art as an apprentice in the College of Arts at USF, but have been continuing education myself in the art field with in mind teaching as a career choice. I have 18 hours community service in the arts and creativity for educating children for the arts. Currently listing and rating my artwork I enjoy dedicating and giving to charities and causes selling my art





    Will my background in art put a shocker on him or at least make him stop thinking of me as trash. I have no clue what to do anymore. I told him I was an artist and he never asked me what it is I did or was good at, just belittled me.





    What do you think?|||WOW. You're amazing from what I hear, you have something going in life %26amp; your boyfriend is a douche. Sorry, but he is. If all you told him was "I'm an artist :)" %26amp; his response or thought is similar to a *shrug*, a "oh ok.?" Or no response or something similar along those lines AND he's STILL belittling you then he doesnt really care much.


    If I were you I'd tell him what you've done %26amp; all of your good work %26amp; end it with "oh but I'm an 'unsuccessful woman' right? Yeah, were done" (but I'm kinda harsh so if your not comfortable w/this then don't do it lol) If you tell him now then he might take advantage of that %26amp; then see you doing all of this good AMAZING stuff %26amp; then belittle you even more. If he's doing it now %26amp; not caring then imagine when you tell him %26amp; he sees that as a competition or a "oh snap, she actually does something, let me put her down even more"





    Sorry if my answer was long, I just don't think women should be put down by anyone. Lol





    Hope I helped :]|||Honey, with your background you don't need the Bozo.Kick him to the curb and keep on being successful,my hats off to you Good luck.|||Tell him, if you think it will give you satisfaction, but honestly, I think breaking up with him and finding yourself a much nicer guy would be a lot more satisfying.|||leave him, no one should put up with comments like that from anyone.


    if he doesn麓t know all of this about you already what kind of sad-sick relationship are you having?|||Find a new boyfriend. Now.|||no it will ( sadly ) not make one ounce of difference --- because his smalll little mind will not comprehend your ability and indeed --- because he didn't bother to listen to your abilities or anything you wanted to tell him --- he will push you aside --- because he has grown used to pushing you around --- you need to walk this fool to the kerb and apply your talents in the best way you can and for others to appreciate --- you will find some connection with someone who has a similar goal as you --- instead of a dead - beat that cannot see the forest for the trees --- good luck|||i think that you need to find a new bf. because a real man like myself would appreciate you for who you are/that 's a beautiful woman.your bf ought to shower you with encouragement .as you've stated you told him that you're an artist/so it's not like you're hiding anything from him.i think that you need a guy that will make you feel special like a real woman should.|||Honestly you might want to break up with this guy. Seems to me that nothing you say will help your situation, you might want to break up with him and then tell him what you do. If he treats you bad now, I doubt he will ever change. Especially when he talks about his ex, he might even still have feelings for her or something if he mentions her often, Best advice is to get rid of him and do your own thing and succeed in life. :) Good luck!|||You should find someone who loves you for you. Not for what you have done or what you will become. I will pray for you :) P.S. Listen to this song I am linking for you. I hope it helps you.|||There is a good deal about art here, good job ! Maybe even too much ;)


    Anyways, i think you should keep it secret. He shouldnt treat u that way. IF you cant stand him anymore, than leave him after telling him about these accomplishments.


    By the way this would probably shock him. =)

    One month anniversary dilemma!?

    This coming Saturday is my girlfriend and I's one month anniversary and I am completely stumped on what to get her. She has already told her best friend, who I do not like very well, that we were going to double date and go mini golfing or something like that. I don't know if I should tell her I've changed my mind and want to go by ourselves somewhere nice (like a Japanese steakhouse) or to a more mellow restaurant (kind of area like a burger joint).


    My second problem is that I Don't Know What To Get Her!!! I've read many other topics on this and many say get something nice but others say that getting her something too nice will push her away. I was thinking some flowers/roses or something like that but I'm not completely certain. Also, she's already stated that all she wants is flowers. Please help I'm completely stumped....|||Since she said all she wants is flowers I think you should just get her flowers and make her a card. One month isn't that long so you should save the nice gifts for anniversaries like 6 months. You can tell her you think your anniversary would be more special if just the two of you went on a date together and you can compromise by suggesting that you go out on the double date a different night. Tell her you want to take her to a nice restaurant and just want to spend quality time talking with her on your anniversary and I think she should be happy with your suggestion.|||Why are you celebrating ONE MONTH??

    I need the exact recipe for Goody Goody and Yummy Yummy Sauce for Arigatos in Tampa. Chefs only please?

    I have seen some questions here similar to this but the answers were only copycat recipes. I would like to know if ANYONE knows the EXACT recipe for both Yummy Yummy and Goody Goody Sauce that they make over at Arigato's Japanese Steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. I will appreciate answers from anyone, but I prefer that an actual Arigato's Chef answers this. I know it will be difficult because the sauce is a closely guarded secret, but I have a way of knowing if a real Arigato's Chef is answering or not b/c I already know the copycat recipes by heart for over 10 different websites and copycat chefs. I just know that Horseradish is used somehow in either recipe and that was not shown in the recipes I have seen so far. Thank you so much for being patient with my question and I can't wait to see what the REAL answer is! Thank you!|||If anyone DID know the EXACT recipe, and they published it online, they would most likly be sued by the restaurant. That is why you find "close" recipes.





    It's called a business. They do not make money if you can cook it exactly the same at home. That is why you GO to their business, because no one else makes it as good...|||I am sure you could of figured that one our for yourself...hopefully the next person will reply with a useful answer.

    Why does society try teaching you that there's certain things you HAVE to do to be "normal"?

    I.e. I just turned 21 five days ago, and I'm not big on drinking...I'll probably have like the occasional glass of wine now that I can buy it, but I have absolutely zero desire to go out to clubs and get trashed or any of that.

    So in the weeks before my birthday, several of my friends told me that I "HAD" to drink on my birthday because it's "just what you have to do when you turn 21." When I responded that I'd much rather have a nice dinner at a Japanese steakhouse or something instead, I got the "awwwww come on"s and "but you have to"s.



    I also have I guess "unusual" views on dating...I don't date guys unless I feel an extremely strong connection with them because otherwise I just feel like I'm wasting my time trying to convince myself I'm into a guy that I'm really not that crazy about, and I also avoid relationships I know are going to eventually fail because, frankly, I'm not a fan of heartbreak or spending months with someone just to have him exit your life one day.



    And my sister is the complete opposite; she dates every single guy who so much as looks at her because she has to have a boyfriend all of the time. So she's constantly making fun of me for it and trying to make me look bad in front of her friends...not just with the dating thing, but like her friend asked me to buy them alcohol, and she said "she's not like us" in the most condescending voice ever.



    Why are such shallow things supposed to define our worth in society? I don't mean shallow in the sense that everyone who drinks to get drunk is "shallow"..I mean shallow in the sense that it sounds rather silly to me to say "if you don't drink this beverage, you're a loser."|||Your only talking about one type of society, and that's the type of society that likes to go out and get waasted. If you meet different people they will have different views on whats normal



    In awnser to you saying shallow things define our worth id say no, theres alot more important things that do. However the fact that you dont do these things makes you seem closed minded, reserved and a bit "boring".



    You might not be but thats the stereotype that will come with it. If you think about it, it makes sense because your reluctant to try things. On the other hand, in another type of society, one that wants to settle down, you sound perfect! Your behaviour in that society would be normal and someone with a clubbers mentality would seem weird.

    |||I don't think its about drinking. I think its about your ability to have fun. Going out, drinking a few, dancing, listening to music - well some people find it fun. And its a way to connect with others. Since many people do that, its a way to be like other people or at least connect with them. Going out to eat may be nice, but its short lived and if you run out of things to talk about - it can be a little boring at times. You don't have to be a drunk but having a drink with your friends and dancing with them is a way to show them you care about them because THEY like to do that. And they are just trying to get you to loosen up a little. Because dinner can only last so long. The dancing/club scene just keeps the evening going. As for guys, some guys are a lot of fun. They can be like a new great friend to chat with. And if you pick the right kinds, they won't leave, they'll want to stick around.|||Heck if I know. I have noticed things like this my whole life, and they never made sense,





    When someone says, "i'm sorry, I can't drink, I am an alcoholic" why do have the people in the room INSIST that it is OK for him/her to have just one drink? That's insane. But i have seen it a lot.





    I really have thought about this. and the best i have come up with is that these insisting people


    1) do not value you, or your right to be yourself, different


    2) they may be OFFENDED that you want to be yourself, not one of the crowd


    3) they flatly don't count you as a friend if you don't drink with them, or follow their lead in whatever they are doing.





    For some reason , they see different as either insulting or as a threat.





    Part of it reminds me of classic mob behavior, part of it reminds me of lemmings.|||Yeah Mob behavior is powerful-I bet a lot of people may feel the same way but don't really stand strong in their grounds because of the other individuals. So really its a small percentage of our society that has control over these majority of behaviors...merely by influence.





    If that makes senese..I know it sucks you should keep to your grounds though and you will meet worthwhile people that respect you and maybe feel the same.|||i know, i know.





    its liek when i turned 17 everyone said to me "are you learning to drive" i was liek "no." and they looked really appalled and asked me why not? i said "because i have no money to leanr how to drive!" and now they get all above themselves because they're learning and i'm not. its like a i said to my friend "we've got to go over the main road to get to __" and she turned to me and was like "you think thats a main road? you think you can go 50mph on that?" really mockingly





    soem people just feel the need to mould into whats "normal" and by doing it they force it on everyone else.





    its a strange world :)|||hi there!


    Hey we also have almost the same experience !Well , my classmates in college said that it is good to have a good time like drinking in a pub, spending all night partying but actually I don't like parties. I rather eat in a fine restaurant or eat fish balls at the street or stay at home watching movies or reading books than going out and spending the night with people who only think is drink drink until you drop! It's a waste of time! My classmates said that it's good for me to go out to meet new people. Hello! It's nice to have many friends but it's more nice to have a real friend who will stand by you even if millions are against you. What I mean is partying helps you meet new people but not all of them are real! I'm sure some of them are fakes! I don't think not going out or not hanging out at a club is abnormal. Hello! We have a choice. It's a yes or no. There are so many ways to gain friends or meet people. You can join any organizations or a church choir or just hang out with your friends to keep you busy. It's not also bad to be alone some time. If you friends are insisting you to drink and you don't like to drink, tell them frankly. If they disagree maybe it's time to talk to them seriously or maybe you just have to avoid them slowly. For me, I don't call a friend a friend if he/she insist me things I really don't like to do because it only means he/she does not accept you. An effective friendship must also have an element called acceptance. hahaha Oh my gosh! I called it element! hahaha..





    My bestfriend before also makes fun of me because I'm single and completely NBSB or NO BOYFRIEND SINCE BIRTH! She's making fun of me and made me look bad! Oh I really hate it! My mom also teased me because I'm single. I'm also like you I don't like to date guys that I don't have feelings because it's a waste of time. I want a guy who have deep feelings for me. It's not that I don't want to be heartbroken but because I want to have a real relationship. I mean if I'll date someone again it must be someone special.I'm 22 years old. I think it's time to be matured and think of the future. I don't want to waste my time dating a guy I don't like. I tried once before but it didn't work.





    You don't have to do the things that people told you. You have to stand for yourself or be independent. You must know first what you really want to do in life and be focus. Doing the things you hate will make your life miserable! Believe me! You will not be happy. You have to get out of your shelf. You must also be proud and confident to face life's challenges. There's more important things to do than drinking,dating and partying. Think of your future because if you don't think today ,it might be too late tomorrow.





    I remember what my friend said ," SUFFER NOW, ENJOY LATER".

    I want to starve myself, but i love food and i cannot resist it?

    im just turned 15 and 5'4


    back in august i was 196lbs


    then i decided to start working out[running a mile every single day]


    and i became bulimic along with that and i still am today.


    i REALLY want to stop being bulimic, but you know...its hard.


    whenever i would eat, i really would try and hold my food down, and not throw it up, but i keep giving in.


    so i decided that if i cant stop my puking, i'll just starve myself.


    but the thing is, i siad that like a week ago and every morning i woke up and i would be like "okay, no eating today" then i would just give in to large amounts of food and puke it back up.





    see, i think that everytime i eat something, ill gain 4-5 pounds.





    like i remember one time i went to this japanese steakhouse and before i ate i was 139lbs, i wake up the next morning and im 143lbs!!





    so yea, everytime i eat, i gain weight.





    so please help me, how can i avoid food and start starving myself????





    im tired of puking, starving is so much easier.








    NOTE: MY PARENTS ALREADY KNOW IM BULIMIC.|||Ask your irresponsible parents to get you some help.|||I'm in the same situation. I'm 5'5 and I weigh 135 though. I haven't lost or gained any weight. Bulimia sucks. I want to starve myself too. I know it's bad but it's better than bulimia. And, you lose weight when you starve yourself. I can't seem to do it either. I used to be able to. I don't know what happened. =( I don't know what to tell you though. It's all about willpower I guess. Stay strong.|||your going to have trouble switching you are used to binging and throwing up anorexic starve themselves and exercise sooo much.|||don't starve yourself. if you do, you'll get sick.|||the next time you have a craving for something, buy a reasonable amount of it, smell it, and eat it really really slow. focus completely on your food and try to listen to your body to realize when you should stop. people eat what is in front of them so don't allow yourself to buy a ridiculous amt of food to begin with.


    also drink a glass of water every hour to help with the fullness feeling. don't worry about your weight too much for a week or 2. just try to get yourself used to eating normal servings and get over wanting to vomit. you should be eating 3 major meals and 3 snacks in between those meals. doing this will speed your metabolism up so that your body stops storing every little oz of fat you put in it. do strength training once or twice a week. you can use your own body or you could get weights or try pilates. but 20-30 min twice a week with a break in between, no more than that. doing this will make it so you burn more fat throughout the day and when you are doing cardio exercise. if you eat anything you want you'll end up gaining all the weight back so hopefully you won't get cravings too often. when you aren't eating something you crave, eat healthy foods - unprocessed raw veggies and fruits and lean meats; low calorie filling foods.





    i had to add that when you lose weight without eating and doing strength training you lose a mix of fat, bone density, and muscle mass. it's really unhealthy.

    Bloody Diarrhea PLEASE HELP?

    OK so 25 minutes ago I took a crap, and it was normal, the same as any other day.





    Then as i was trying to release gas, about 15 minutes ago, i released a little diarrhea, to my horror it was blood red





    This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and somthing worth noting -


    2 days ago i had a japanese steakhouse dinner, where i had lobster and shrimp - somthing did not settle with me that dinner and every time i took a bite of the lobster my entire body became very very hot, to the point where i started sweating, and i felt like i would need to throw up - but i didnt throw up i just sat through it





    please help me understand what is going on right now i am very very worried





    - i feel completely normal right now|||Bright red blood is an end-of-the-digestive-tract problem. It could be caused by an internal scratch from having had a hard poo previously.





    I think I'd avoid lobster in the future if you were having any sort of allergic reaction to it. It's unlikely to have caused the bleeding problem though.





    Wishing you well.|||i was going to say you probably just have a scratch in your anus but because of the lobster, i seriously just suggest you go see a doctor. noone here will be able to correctly diagnose you and you should get yourself checked out to make sure its nothing serious. good luck|||well it could of been red because of something you ate. Like beets will make your poop red. Maybe the lobster or shrimp caused it.

    How to deal with an annoying boyfriend?

    Okay, so my boyfriend and I have been on and off for a little over a year now. We have a lot of physical connection, but when he talks....he never stops. ever. He will talk about the exact same things over and over and over again. He repeats himself constantly, and is always telling me the same stories he tells me every day. Worst of all, he never lets me talk. I never get to say anything to him, because he never shuts his mouth!! When we are on the phone, i could literally set the phone down, go make a snack and come back he would still be talking, not even noticing that i am gone.



    He is very rude in public and has very bad table manners, so i am often embarrassed to go out with him. For example, one night we went to a Japanese steakhouse, and he was literally SCREAMING to the chef at a table across the room to do a certain trick, and when i told him nicely to stop and hold off until he came over to our table, he flipped out at me. He also smacks his food very loudly while we are eating and it bothers me so much!

    Also, i think he might be a pathological lier. seriously. he lies about the littlest things, things that don't even matter...for example, if we have a date he will tell me that he is picking me up at 7. at 6:55 he will call me to tell me he is leaving his house (5 blocks away) , at 7:30 i will still be waiting at my house for him. 8:00, i will call him and ask where he is, and he will say he is in my driveway, ill look out the window. he's not. if he was running late, he could have easily told me so, no hard feelings at all, but instead he has to lie and keep me waiting hours for him. this may seem like only something little, but he does it ALL THE TIME. and i have confronted him about it, and he never listens. Just the other night i invited him over to my house, but only if he could get a ride or drive, because my car broke down. His brother took his car for the weekend so he couldnt drive here either. he told me that his friend picked him up and i didn't think twice about it. later i was talking to his friend, and told him that it was nice of him to give him a ride, and his friend had no idea what i was talking about. he had walked here and lied about it. i just dont understand the point of lying about things so small!!!! (there are many more instances like this)

    lastly, he asks me questions he already knows the answer to. How, you may ask, does he know these answers? well its because he asked the same question 5 minutes ago. For example, today he asked what i was doing in the after noon, i told him that my friends and i were going out to lunch, movie, and shopping. a half hour later he calls me to ask if i wanted to go out to lunch and see a movie with him...???? as if the previous conversation never happened. weird. this also happens multiple times a week.



    I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP. I AM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! the only reason i havent broken up with him is because

    1. he does very nice things for me (buys me flowers, etc.)

    2. we have amazing physical connections

    3. he is very nice to me and never loses his patients.



    Do you think its time to break up or should i try to talk to him about for 100000billionth time?|||sounds like he is wayy immature.

    hun, break up wiht him.

    if you cant stand your boyfriend, then you dont need him

    and just cuz he gives you things and is good in bed, dont mean

    yall will have a great relationship. end it now, not worth it

  • Is it a date or what?

    I know this guy and he asked me to "hang out" with him and some friends at a hibachi grill on monday. if you don't know what that is, it's a japanese steakhouse where they grill the food in front of you and put on a show, etc. However, when I asked who was going, he told me his roommate and his roommate's girl, and possibly his friend and his friend's wife. He also told me he'd pick me up. it's evident that he likes me but I'm not sure if you'd consider this a date or just hanging out as he puts it. I'm really nervous cause I don't want his friends to dislike me and I've got butterflies and I don't wanna mess it up with him cause I like him a lot, too. :/





    besides the way, any ideas on what to wear? I know I'm gonna be wearing some skinny jeans and a studded belt, not too sure on the shirt yet.|||I would say its not technically a date since all those othe people are going too, but he definitly want sto hang out with you and possibly get to know you better, so then later he can ask you out and go on a real date :). Just be yourself and talk to him and his friends. Have fun|||Sounds like a group date, type of thing. But yes, a date! :) Don't worry, I'm sure it'll go great. Just be yourself! Wear a nice top to dress up the outfit. It's better to overdress then under-dress, because then atleast you look good! Definitely don't wear a t-shirt and flip flops.





    Have a nice time!

    Why does society try teaching you that there's certain things you HAVE to do to be "normal"?

    I.e. I just turned 21 five days ago, and I'm not big on drinking...I'll probably have like the occasional glass of wine now that I can buy it, but I have absolutely zero desire to go out to clubs and get trashed or any of that.


    So in the weeks before my birthday, several of my friends told me that I "HAD" to drink on my birthday because it's "just what you have to do when you turn 21." When I responded that I'd much rather have a nice dinner at a Japanese steakhouse or something instead, I got the "awwwww come on"s and "but you have to"s.





    I also have I guess "unusual" views on dating...I don't date guys unless I feel an extremely strong connection with them because otherwise I just feel like I'm wasting my time trying to convince myself I'm into a guy that I'm really not that crazy about, and I also avoid relationships I know are going to eventually fail because, frankly, I'm not a fan of heartbreak or spending months with someone just to have him exit your life one day.





    And my sister is the complete opposite; she dates every single guy who so much as looks at her because she has to have a boyfriend all of the time. So she's constantly making fun of me for it and trying to make me look bad in front of her friends...not just with the dating thing, but like her friend asked me to buy them alcohol, and she said "she's not like us" in the most condescending voice ever.





    Why are such shallow things supposed to define our worth in society? I don't mean shallow in the sense that everyone who drinks to get drunk is "shallow"..I mean shallow in the sense that it sounds rather silly to me to say "if you don't drink this beverage, you're a loser."|||these are people who cant think for themselves. but you better believe they are the one who live by contradiction. you have it backwards they want you to be as weak minded as them. so they dont feel like the loser.. my advice is keep thinking for yourself and watch in the next year or two the people that think that way end up on welfare or in jail. by societys standards. the jokes on them... as for dating when you think for yourself you can pick who or whats good for you and be happy.|||lol! i know what you mean, i'm also 21 and not big on drinking. unfortunately some people seem to think excessive drinking and sleeping around is some sort of rite of passage...|||Eh, tell your sister and all of your friends, who say you "must" go drink, to stuff it.


    Do what makes you happy, and don't worry about meeting society's standard of "normal." Its a ridiculous concept. None of us are really normal, we all do things someone else would view as strange.|||Right on.





    The quicker you learn how stupid our society is, the better!





    Edit: "...there own illiteracy..." LOL x 10|||yup and then again.|||It appears your dealing with people





    who judge a book by it's cover yet





    unlike the person you are, you have





    the full capacity to read what's between





    the lines in that book, safe to say who'll

    Did my mom gyp me or what?

    My mom forgot her purse one night when we went to an expensive Japanese steakhouse we frequent. I offered to put the $46.00 bill, with tip included on my credit card. I had written her a few checks that she had yet to deposit. One for $15.00 and one for $20.00. She offered to pay me half. But said that if I pay my part, she will pay her's and not cash the checks also.





    She did not cash or deposit the checks, but she has not paid the part of her bill yet. I am having to pay off that part of the credit card and I think she is being awfully greedy and "gypsy" in doing this.





    What do you think?|||Get over it for christ sakes. It's family!!!! How many things has your mom done for you!!!!!!!! You can't treat your mom to a dinner??? Thats being very cheap!!!!|||Well I didn't mean to be so harsh to you. But god??? it's your mom!!!! Not some bozo off the street. I'm glad you came to your senses.

    |||she's your mom|||My cousin has an on-going problem with his mother doing the same thing. He tries to avoid it at all costs (no pun intended), but then again, it is his mother and he gives up. However, he always gives her less than she asks and tells her he can't afford any more.

    - i feel completely normal right now|||Calm down. The fact that you feel fine is a good sign. Internal bleeding is usually accompanied by pain, so it probably isn't that. Are you sure you didn't rip anything down there? Remnants of blood from an anal fissure can account for the blood.





    If you have any Q-tips handy, carefully stick one up there after thoroughly wiping. If you get some remnants, you're good. If it comes back soaked red or black (another hue indicative of blood in stool/internal bleeding), cart yourself to the ER ASAP.

    Sashimi (sushi) identification help?

    For years I thought what I was getting in sashimi combos from the sushi places in South Florida was squid. The mystery fish is a square-cut rectangular strip of pale cream-color flesh, with a mildly buttery flavor. It is cohesive, but not at all chewy or flaky - you can bite right through it, with a very uniform melt-in-your-mouth consistency, like the more delicate cuts of raw tuna. It does not have a "grain" like raw salmon or shrimp. It does not have the glassy transparency of most raw fish.



    Then I ordered squid sashimi at a Japanese steakhouse in northern Virginia and it was completely different. It had a glassy striated appearance, and was so rubbery that if I'd had a paper napkin instead of cloth, I would have spit it out instead of having to chew, and chew, and chew. Very disappointing.



    So the question is, are there such radically different ways to prepare and serve squid for sashimi? Are the tentacles very rubbery, and the body smooth and delicate, or is the mystery fish not squid after all?|||Your description for squid at northern Virginia fits squid or ika perfectly. That mildly buttery pale cream color flesh which you could bite right through doesn't sound like squid at all. There're more than one type of fish that will fit the description.

    Possibility 1 - Whitefish (sometimes called white tuna): http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2192/2017鈥?/a>
    http://www.louwphotography.com/Asia/Japa鈥?/a>
    Depending on the cut and the size of the fish, the grains in the flesh aren't always highly visible. The flesh could look almost pure white sometimes with very fine grains.

    Possibility 2 - Yellowtail aka hamachi: http://www.sushi101charlotte.com/wp/word鈥?/a> Again, depending on the cut and the size of the fish, the grains in the flesh aren't always highly visible. The color could vary a little as well.

    Possibility 3: Various cuts of albacore tuna (binnaga maguro or shiro maguro or bincho maguro). The size of the slice, and the visible grains could vary quite a bit. Depending on the cut, the color could look very different.

    Possibility 4: Hotate. This is not fish. Hotate is scallops. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lWHaLIFkojo/Sn鈥?/a>

    PS: I still couldn't figure out what Number 1 fish really was. So far, I've been told that it was a kind of tuna, a kind of bass and a kind of perch. I don't think this fish cost restaurants too much because I've seen it at local, mid-price range Chinese buffets. But whatever it was, it tasted real nice. :)

    Added: I hope you didn't chew your squid for too long before you swallowed it. If you kept on chewing on a piece of raw squid, you'll suddenly feel the sliminess of the squid which will make the experience worse for first time ika eaters. LOL|||You are describing two totally different things. The first thing you describe sounds like hamachi (yellowtail), and is DEFINITLEY not squid. The second thing you describe sounds like raw squid, which is indeed chewy and rubbery. Most good sushi places will cut a little diamond pattern into the squid flesh to make it easier to chew.|||In Florida your squid or cuttle fish was prepared better, with the chewy outer skin removed. If the outer skin of squid or cuttle fish is not removed, you can chew forever and a day. The one you had in Virginia sounds like the outer skin remained intact and it was overcooked to boot.|||Sashimi and sushi are two different things.

    Sashimi refers to the fish.

    Sushi the rice.

    It is probably the place and quality of fish, or it may be a totally different fish, and the preparation of it.|||The "mystery fish" is definitely not squid. And yes, raw squid is chewy.|||The fish is octopus .

    please help me understand what is going on right now i am very very worried





    - i feel completely normal right now|||The two most likely possibilities are:


    1] You have a hemorrhoid, and the stress from the diarrhea made it break and bleed. This is not a dangerous condition.


    2] You got some germs or toxins from your meal, which caused you to have diarrhea with blood in it. This could make you sick, but is not likely to be life-threatening. You should recover just fine.


    Now for the least likely:


    3] You have cancer in your colon, which is bleeding.


    If you go to a doctor, s/he may want to do a colonoscopy to see whether you have cancer or not. However, if you can verify that you have an external or internal hemorrhoid, or simply got sick with gastritis ["stomach flu," but it isn't really a flu] or food poisoning, I think you can skip the colonoscopy.|||Go to the er! If you feel ok call the doc asap in the am!!!

    Does this sound like alot of food?

    Or does it sound somewhat healthy? Im turning 15 next month....and I have been trying to eat healthier. I have been questioning this plan for today though...


    Breakfast: A mini chocolate chip pancake and a green apple


    Some crackers and garlic dip (probably not very healthy....its made with sour cream and tomatoes)


    Lunch: Some pasta salad (shell pasta with dried cranberries, sliced almonds, lettuce, and lite caesar dressing [not the creamy kind]) water to drink.


    I think for dinner we are going to a Japanese steakhouse....I will probably just get some chicken or salad)


    I snack very often....any tips to stop this habit of snacking when unnecessary? Last time I weighed myself I was around 118 lbs :( Im 5'5 ish|||Your Still thin for your height.


    eat what you want.|||First I want you to know that your Body Mass Index is 19.5.18.5 is underweight so turn that frown upside down because you're in a healthy weight range.


    Now if you're trying to eat healthier, try sticking to high fiber and protein because you will get full faster.


    Your diet for the day is good and pretty healthy. The only thing I might switch out is those chocolate chip pancakes for a big bowl of cereal because your breakfast is supposed to be the biggest meal of the day! You can eat a nice big bowl of cereal that should keep you snack-free until lunchtime.


    If you're hungry, chew a piece of big red gum...it's proven that it curbs hunger. Also, peppermints serve the same kind of purpose. Ice (don't chew, but suck) is also good for that.


    Good luck!!! :) and be happy with your body!|||Its not bad to snack when you snack healthily like on fruits and veggies

    First dinner date?! Help?!!?

    Okay, so my boyfriend of almost 2 1/2 months told me part of my Christmas present. He's taking me to Shoguns on Christmas Eve (if they're open), and then he's getting/giving me something else there. I'm super nervous! I mean I love this kid, and we're really close, but this is so different! I went to dinner with his dad, his sister, and her friend the day before homecoming (we weren't dating yet, he was just my date to homecoming) and the only thing on the menu appetizing was pasta, and I think you know how that turned out. Lol. Anyway, this is a pretty fancy japanese steakhouse that prepares food in front of you. Like, do you dress up with heels and a fancy dress, or not. I love getting all dolled up but is it too much? What do you talk about? This wll be the first time me and him are in an intimate place like dinner just us. NO ONE else. Has anyone been to Shoguns? Any personal experiences. THANK YOU in advance:)|||Shoguns is pretty nice. It's not that glitzy tho. Definitely wear heels, either with a cute dress, nothing too revealing or glittery. U know something grown and sexy, but classy. Or u can wear a nice blouse w pants or tights and heels. It's a nice place tho. But sometimes u get seated with a whole other group or couples so that the food is prepared all on one table. Its laid back but u dont want to over do it. Just wear something ur boo would like, nice hair %26amp; light makeup. Have fun.|||No sorry! But hope you have fun

    Bon Appetite !!! @|||yes they are the best especially the habate|||i personally dont|||I love them...love sitting at the hibachi tables. However, I'm trying to make sense out of the second part of your question.|||not really, i find Japanese cooking more geared towards seafood and not so much steaks. Korean steak houses, on the other hand, are far supperior, bulgogi beef and kalbi pork ribs are not to be missed.

    I want to sing country and bluegrass, but I got heckled in the last few places I sang at...?

    Hello my name is Joseph. I'm 16 years old and I love country, bluegrass and folk. I live in a small town in Arkansas just outside of Little Rock where my parents opened up a Sushi and Japanese Steakhouse restaurant. Oh yeah, I'm also Japanese, though I don't think that should matter in this day in age, but tell that to those who heckled me the few times I've sang because of my race =(.





    I've only just started to sing publicly in restaurants and bars this year, but the few times I've sang I seem to always get a heckler or two. They're usually drunk and they make snide remarks and sometimes racists remarks too. I don't know what to do. I love singing, but sometimes these hecklers get to me. I know there are some Black and Mexican country singers, I wonder if they were heckled when they first started.





    I've been singing since I was in elementary school and fell in love with this style of music when I started listening to Johnny Cash and some of my friends listened to all kinds of similar music. Though I appreciate all music though, country, bluegrass and folk are in my heart.





    What should I do to persevere and continue doing the thing I love most, singing this genre of music?|||I'm not even an hour from you :D haha. Woo Pig Sooie!





    Anyways, I think you should sing your little heart out! :) Who cares what they think? Listening to people who say you can't will never get you anywhere.|||The trick to being "comfortable", is to Sing for YOUR SAKE",


    NOT for the approval of listeners.... So, sing CONFIDENTLY


    with no thought of others....|||who's a mexican Country singer?? not trying to be rude?? Darius rucker is black but idk of any mexicans?|||Wow that sounds serious... well keep trying, If the folks are usually drunk or out of mind. DON'T LISTEN TO THE D-AMN PEOPLE, don't let it get to you, Im sure the other famous singers have had simmilar problems, but pushed past those problems and continued to sing from their hearts. USE IT O YOUR ADVANTAGE you could maybe wright a song, illustrating your feelings about racism IN A COUNTRY TUNE HAHA it could work, you never know till you try :D|||Eminem was disrespected because he was a white rapper, now make a stand and be an amazing country vocalist! Even if you don't like Eminem, he's famous and has more money than 50 people could spend. You could be the next Kid Rock or Kenney Chesney!





    You'll always have haters (and fans), so now is a great time to learn how to deal with them. Just make jokes of yourself to show that you really don't care. Or just smile and ignore them. And, like you said, they're drunk.. So it really shouldn't bother you, sweetie. ^_^





    Haters Gonna Hate, hon. You'll still have more fans than haters so just ignore it. I wish you so much luck and I hope to see you in Hollywood one day...(;
