I was told yesterday that I was spoiled! Should I be upset? Would you be?

I would say to just give her a little time to cool down, but eventually you guys are going to need to talk, she is going to need you. She’s just a little bitter right now that your life has turned out so much better than hers. I think the fact that your husband thought up such a nice thing to do made her jealous beyond her control and thats what provoked her tantrum. You still have time to make up, I would let your mom know its not set in stone that she is going yet so if your friend changes her mind, it doesnt upset your mom. Divorce is really hard (Ive never been through one but my aunt has been through a couple and my best friend went through one recently, and I was the one they talked to) sometimes they need someone to take their anger out on and it ends up being the person they are closest with, I think somewhere in the back of their mind they do it to someone they know will forgive them.

i want to use a song i downloaded as my myspace song. how do i do that?

princepatterson — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:01:55 +0900

i personally like to put mp3 players on my site. there are several site out there that make it real easy for you to do this. one of my favorites is myflashfetish.com - if you don’t like the ones there you can just do a search for free myspace mp3 player

you simply take the song you have on your computer and upload to a free file hosting place. i personally use fileden.com - you go to the site that has the free mp3 player - for ex. myflashfetish.com - find the player style you like - click create - type in what you want the song title to be under mp3 title - and then paste the mp3 url (this is the url that you get after you upload the song to fileden) - you can also do more than one song. one your done adding song it’ll give you the code to paste into your profile and that’s it.

you can also do a search on myspace music and add songs frome there.

Can you tell me what you think of my poem (honest opinions)?

princepatterson — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:57:41 +0900

It is very good, very heartfelt…which is what fuels all great writers. And no, it doesn’t “have to rhyme”….seriously now, that’s just crazy! Half of the poetry that I myself write doesn’t rhyme, and I just so happen to be a published poet from a junior poet competition I won when I was 17. Seriously Saz, hasn’t a “relative of William Blake” ever heard of iambic pentameter, a type of poetry that rarely rhymes. Another example, haiku is an ancient form of Chinese poetry, and it almost never rhymes! Were they not poets? I think I have made my point, but I veered off topic in the process, sorry. Back to the poem at hand, I don’t think you need to change anything. I would never tell someone that they had to alter the words that came from their heart. They are your words, and no one can make them any better than they are right now. You have a gift, so share and use it as you see fit, my friend. Feel free to contact me if you have any other poetry you’d like me to read for you, I’d be happy to read something that beautiful anytime!

Where are the best scuba dive sites in Indonesia?

princepatterson — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 22:58:38 +0900

‘best’ is subjective but I have dived in only 2 main areas in Indonesia - Manado and Bali.

Manado has up to 35+ dive sites including those near Bunaken, excluding the Lembek Straits. Since I dived in November, visibility wasn’t amazing but clear enough. I’d say average viz was about 15m. Most of the dive sites at Manado are suitable for beginners.

Bali was amazing as well and again I dived in December and thus visibility wasn’t great. Average viz was about 10m. Each dive was really amazing and i saw my first shark. in fact on the last day, I saw 1 white tip reef on the first dive, 2 on the second and 5 on the last dive. Really cool stuff.

I heard the Lembek Straits are really good too and I’m hoping to dive there soon. Indonesia has a plethora of beautiful dive sites and it’s really hard to say which is the best.

Question from a future first time horse owner.?

princepatterson — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 23:00:42 +0900

I have never heard of a mare’s udders needing to be thoroughly cleaned, but sheath cleaning is VERY important. The gelding can become extremely uncomfortable if he is not cleaned regularly, and it’s horrifying to realize how many people do NOT clean their gelding’s sheaths at all; they are putting their horses at risk for major discomfort.

Sheath cleaning is something the vet will do for you if requested, and I think if you’re inexperienced at it, it would be a great idea to have the vet do it the first time and show you how. Most geldings are pretty OK with it, but some horses can get upset, and so it’s good to let someone else with lots of experience figure out if your horse is going to be fine, or freak out. Plus, if the previous owner didn’t clean well, or regularly, the vet can do a good thorough job to make sure you start off with a “clean slate”.

Why do i let my controlling boyfriend come back?

princepatterson — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:03:04 +0900

Firstly, learn to say no. I get the feeling that despite him being a control freak, you might actually be helping him by saying, and doing what he says. I don’t know if you like to be the puppet but do your self a BIG favour. Say NO.

Stop your behaviour patern, cause it is going to take you down. You seem to be a very sensitive and amazing individual but he won’t hesitate to take you down with him.

Stop seeing him, talking to him, and every thing to do with him permanently. The sooner the better. The part of you that doesn’t want him around, that little voice, start listening to it.

Don’t you worry about anything other than ridding your self of him and listening to both your heart and head. A decent guy is just around the corner, someone that is looking for you and that will treat you right.

Good luck girl. Will be holding thumbs for you.

Could someone me give an UNbiased comparison of OS X vs. Windows?

princepatterson — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:06:40 +0900

I have both at home and I enjoy both.
PCs are cheap all around, fairly reliable, and not too confusing, can get viruses easy if you are not careful
MACs are a little more expensive, can be left up a bit longer, take some getting used to, OS-X is Unix based, so a little bit harder to get viruses (again, back to that careful thing)
You can run Open Office, Fire Fox, similar games, MS office, various widgets (Vista +), etc. on both machines. The difference is going to come down to cost for each. MAC software has typically ran more than your PC software. Hardware is also typically more expensive. The OS (can-be) more stable (this also depends on the user). If you plan on using this for games, do your games run on MAC, or are they PC only? There are applications to make a PC environment within windows so you can run windows apps, but it may not run as the creators intended. MACs are also better at visual effects and video editing.
PCs are cheaper, but may not be the most stable (again, this is based on the typical user), but most applications out there have a ‘windows-version’ of something out there. PC’s can run SQL without too much complaining.

Cost vs. need. = Your call.

Good luck!

3 1/2 year old girl who is no longer sleeping through the night???

princepatterson — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:03:11 +0900

I wonder and sure you ask, but what does she say is that scares her? I think the change in her room could contribute, as at this age their minds are developing so fast, with questions and wonder of all that they are experiencing each day. So perhaps the change makes her feel open and not so secure to what she was use to. Perhaps you might ask if she would want to go back to her old room, )if that is possible)…I just suggest that you ask questions, listen and even offer her to draw or paint what is making her feel scared. The music, night light and door opened are good, perhaps when you put her to bed, teach her to do relaxing breaths, she is not too young to do this, believe me I did this with my son from age two. At night we always would take a deep breath from our tummy and blow it out slowly..very good for going to sleep…

Why are us-americans proud on their country?

princepatterson — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:02:19 +0900

Patriotism covers such attitudes as: pride in its achievements and culture, the desire to preserve its character and the basis of the culture, and identification with other members of the nation. Patriotism is closely associated with nationalism, and is often used as a synonym for it. Strictly speaking, nationalism is an ideology - but it often promotes patriotic attitudes as desirable and appropriate. (Both nationalist political movements, and patriotic expression, may, yet need not, be negative towards other people’s ‘fatherland’).

Patriotism has ethical connotations: it implies that the ‘fatherland’ (however defined) is a moral standard or moral value in itself. The expression my country right or wrong - perhaps a misquotation of the American naval officer Stephen Decatur, but also attributed to Carl Schurz - is the extreme form of this belief. Patriotism also implies that the individual should place the interests of the nation above their personal and group interests. In wartime, the sacrifice may extend to their own life. Death in battle for the fatherland is the archetype of extreme patriotism.

TTC…keeping the swimmers in…?

princepatterson — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:56:54 +0900

I know exactly how you feel. It was one of my major concerns during TCC. While researching about it, I found this information:

The fluid coming out of the vagina after his orgasm is a portion of the ejaculate. But less than 5% of the ejaculate is actually sperm — over 95% is made up of other fluids. Leakage of the ejaculate from the vagina is highly unlikely to prevent you from getting pregnant. In fact, it’s totally normal for some of the ejaculate to come out of your vagina after intercourse. If he ejaculates deeply inside you, then you can be sure that no matter how much of the ejaculate leaks out afterward, enough sperm will reach the cervical mucus. If you stay on your back for the suggested 15-20 minutes after intercourse, hips slightly elevated, this leakage of the ejaculate is usually not a cause of infertility.

Hope this helps to lessen the anxiety. Truck loads of glittery baby dust to you!
