It's your life, not theirs. Criticism like this is usually sublimated insecurity about one's own decisions. Good luck, and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful future having made your own choices.

The Internet is not private. If you post something in public, whether in a blog or elsewhere, it means EVERYBODY can see it in the whole goddamn Internet world. That's the attraction of it, and that's why people put stuff up for everyone to read. If you're unpublished and are working on something that you don't…

Japan's unique ability is that its units continue to fight at full strength even after taking losses. This is especially powerful in the small fights in the early game. Also, the powerful Japanese samurai swordsman comes into play fairly early. If Japan is not doing well now or at least in the near future, it…

There's already games that are approaching that: Europa Universalis has hundreds of nations. Admittedly, many are small and are just fodder for the larger powers, but conceivably any nation can rise to ruling the world. It hammers my relatively modern CPU, but it's still playable and goddamn it's fun. It's also way…

Sometimes you can get a dud, they're just volunteers doing their best. Please try again, or seek professional help if you can afford it.

A lot of other people have made some great suggestions here. The only thing I can generally suggest having raised a couple of teenagers. is to do your best to make it clear to her that you support her in what she wants to do, except when it can hurt her. However, she's also probably cuing off of your fear and…

It's really OK to be sad. In fact, if you weren't sad there'd be something wrong, because you say you still love him dearly and I'm sure you do. Hang in there; you will survive and thrive. Good luck.

Seems a bit extreme ... Do you agree?

That's not really a question about suicide; that's a question about how to change your life, which would be OT here. Please post about it though; There are people here who really care and can offer a lot of helpful advice about how to change that situation.

To anyone out there who is thinking of committing suicide, please know that you are not alone, that there are many other people have had, are having, and always will feel like you do. It's an universal aspect of humanity that no one has figured out yet. There are people who care about you whose lives will be worse…

Wait, what?! You got yelled at for watching a (from what I have heard) good move? Any particular reason?

There are many ways to make sweet music together; sometimes a little imagination works wonders.

Euck doctors who string out their patients. If you need the meds, they should give at least 30 days' worth so the patients are constantly freaking out. That goes against the Hippocratic Oath because they're causing their already-stressed out patients to stress out even more.

Yes you can Rih. You could work a paperbag or a potato sack better than most of these people wearing the finest haute couture. And no one hates you because you're so beautiful. Really.

The shoes would be fine with another outfit. It looks like she was running late for the Grammys, fumbled around in her shoe closet in the dark (because the had lightbulb burned out) for the first pair that felt like they matched, and dashed out the door. Once in the limo, she realized that not only were the shoes…

It's gorgeous. Just ignore the mismatched shoes and toenail polish.

It's only too full if you spill some. (Which means that as the night goes on, each glass should be lower the last.)

Despite 2+ decades of vodka-free sobriety, I still instantly spotted that the vodka label is backwards and so the picture is flipped. After all the years, Stoly babe, still miss'n ya ...

If you're leaving for a better opportunity, that's it. End of story. TFB if others think you couldn't cut it; you've done so well for yourself that you found a better place to work, and you can say that to anyone who asks. ThereIsNoFluffy completely summed it up: take care of yourself, because no one else will do…

Since you've already checked out of your current relationship, it's natural that you are looking to your next one. It doesn't sound like you've told your current boyfriend how you feel, and maybe it's time to do so; he already knows something is wrong. You can't always get out without hurting people, and the best…
