SS--BLOWN

Just my $0.02: I am 40 years old and I've been through some breakups and a divorce. I agree with the posters above that your giving up family, friends, etc., if it was done to make/keep her happy, was a mistake. But you can correct it. It sounds like, as much as you love this girl, she uses your loyalty against you so that she can get what she wants. Your best bet to try and get her back is easy to say, but much tougher to do: START MOVING ON. If she sees that she can't control you anymore, it just may bring her back to see why you've stopped pursuing her. If she does, she'll see you as a challenge. How can she get you to do what she wants? RESIST with all your might! If you can take a step back and not cave in, she'll respect you as a man. She may be more attracted to you than if you just roll over all the time. More importantly, if you can see that she's only returned to make sure she can still try to manipulate you, you may decide that's not the kind of life you deserve. Either way, you need to take care of what's best for YOU. In the process, if she sees that you are a stronger person and not one she can control in such a one-sided manner, she may decide to stick with you and you'll respect yourself a whole lot more.

That's pretty funny, but IMHO, there are VERY FEW things that are better than sex, and trick-or-treating ain't one of them. Might better be called, "Top 10 Reasons It's Easier to Trick-or-Treat Than to Try and Get Laid." M

Here's a few:

OK, let me make a few contributions..

I only use "lines" when they can totally tell I'm joking. "If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you take off all your clothes and dance around?" "I'm incredibly wealthy and kind of gullible." ("The perfect man.") "Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?" (Use a cocktail napkin) "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put 'I' and 'your sister' together." (Lick finger, touch her shoulder) "Let's get you out of those wet clothes." And so on. Get 'em laughing and you're halfway there. Just don't seem too desperate: Michael

You need to give us some more hints here. A few random thoughts from my list: Progressive Metal: "The Origins of Ruin" by Redemption Progressive Rock: "Systematic Chaos" or "Octavarium" by Dream Theater New Rock: "One Day Remains" by Alter Bridge New Rock: The new Evans Blue album Michael

A few questions earlier it says, "Remember" and then a sequence of four colors. The answer to that question is "OK" You have to mean it, though! Remember the colors in order and then move the (hidden) mouse to those colors and click them in that order. M

I have gotten into the 90s but there are a few I always skip. Is there an answer to the horseshoe one? What is up with 81 and the lightning? Or 88 and the guy pulling on the leg? Thanks for the help! I hate the bombs! M

If anyone gets past 66, let me know how you did it...

Solve it yourself. Do you go to sleep at night dreaming of a dry truck bed, or of a FAST MF'ing truck? I voted. It wasn't for the bed cover.

John Petrucci of Dream Theater: plays a custom 7-string. Birlliant and just about untouchable. A true musician. My ringtone: Universal Mind. That really grabs people's attention, especially considering that I am a fairly prominent business attorney in Charlotte. Steve Vai: Haven't heard much out of him lately, but he took things WAY over the top when he hit the scene. Tony MacAlpine: You've never heard of him, but you should. He shreds.

Funny but false. This one has been circling the internets for years. http://www.snopes.com/critters/cruelty/dynamite.asp Behold the power of Snopes.com!

My first answer, after much thought, was a HELL NO. Then it dawned on me. Step ONE: Admit that we’re car guys. I first imagined this scenario EXACTLY like putting a car on a dyno. Frictionless rollers cancel out acceleration so that wheels turning 90 mph and speedometer reading same still results in zero mph in the real world. Step TWO: Reread the riddle. It says that whenever the plane gains speed, the conveyor accelerates to match the speed. If the plane isn't moving, the belt isn't moving. Once the jets start thrusting and the plane gains speed, the belt moves at the same speed/opposite direction. Get it? If the plane is MOVING 90 mph, then the belt has accelerated to 90 mph in the opposite direction. It doesn’t stop the plane from moving—the jets are still thrusting and there is nothing stopping or counteracting that thrust. It’s just that the wheels against the belt are not like the car on the dyno. There is no forward torque or other resistance behind them--they are freewheeling. The wheels are simply being ARTIFICIALLY accelerated to twice the speed the airplane is moving. In reality, the plane is moving 90 mph but if the wheels were hooked up to a speedo, it would read 180. The plane would take off but the wheels would be rotating twice as fast as they otherwise would need to be.

I changed my answer. See page 12 of the clubGP forum discussion. I logged in as Mdog.
