Open Question: What am I supposed to do when my girlfriend wants space?

24 years old and I have been with her for a year. For 3 months now we have been having issues in bed. She is really attractive and I am attracted to her, but I suffer from low testosterone. She wanted me to receive it checked back in November, but I told her this would work itself out... because usually things like this with men does. So finally in January I took action and saw some doctors to find out I have low testosterone which makes me not want to have sex. I was a runner in college and it stems from every the endurance training I did for the sport... and after that it has slowly been on the decline. I never thought I would have something like this. She tells me it is every my fault; I should have fixed it in November or December... I adore you, but I am not physically attracted to you anymore. I know you are the only one that can adore me for who I am and in bed. I like your big **** and now I'm not having it. If you were with someone else you would receive difficult. I need space because when I look you I receive upset with you and we battle because of what is going on. If I don't look you I can just think everything is okay until you receive it fixed. I gave her space and she started texting me or calling me so I started seeing her again and she got upset again with me saying what do you not understand about me wanting space? And then she will tell me we don't touch anymore... when I have been trying to touch her but she turns me down with the whole I want space bs. It is annoying. I adore the girl. She is my best pal. Things were going great until every this happened. I am beginning to feel a little better since I am lifting more and not running as much. I'm waiting to look the doctor again, but I'm worried a month from now it will be too tardy. What do I need to do? I usually give relationship advice, but this is a puzzle to me. I have never dealt with a girl like this. I know she still has some feelings for me because she remembers what it used to be like... she keeps telling me that she's hoping once I receive this fixed that things might go back to the way they were, but she is worried we have separated too much from this issue that once it is fixed we might not feel the same. Any advice? And do not mention give her roses or anything like that... because she doesn't like that stuff.

Open Question: What do you think of my new idea for a fiction story?

This is the first bit of a book i'm writing. Let me know your thoughts. I have a good few pages now, let me know what you think and if you would like a little more of the story ive written so far, or the plot. It is a lesbian adore story with themes around homophobia in sport, bullying, self hurt and gay marriage. It is, however, going to be light hearted in places. Leisha sighed as she tripped over the dog for the fourth time that morning. “OZZY! Move!” She screamed at the Border terrier panting happily at her. Walking into the old tack room, she scooped up Noah’s bridle and walked hastily back out, shutting the door on Ozzy and preventing him from irritating her further. She walked along to the board at the end of the stable block to tick off the names of the horses she had already exercised and read down the list quietly to herself. “Skye, done. Otto, Done. Ella, done. Noah...will be done in a minute...” “First sign of madness you know,” said a voice in her ear. That genial Irish voice she knew so well, Shannon, she thought. Closing her eyes to imagine for a second the messy dark blonde hair, with the slight curl at the front, always scraped back into a ponytail and her beautiful green eyes, tinged with flecks of brown, the perfectly straight teeth with full lips that covered them and, her slightly beaky nose. Her only imperfection, which in itself made Shannon perfect. “You would know, you went mad years ago!” Quipped Leisha, turning to look at her best pal. “You took your time getting home this morning!” she winked, with a knowing grin. “Well I had a nice night,” Shannon’s eyes giving Leisha a cheeky flash “and a wonderful morning,” she grinned. “Hmm, and how is Tom?” Inquired Leisha. Shannon plunged into a long description of their night together, but Leisha had already switched off. Walking down the musky stable block together, they were a perfect picture of two friends. Leisha, a tender eighteen years old and Shannon a more experienced twenty five. Both hid terrible secrets that the world was never meant to know. Shannon thought she knew every of Leisha’s. But there was one big secret that weighed her down more than any. Breaking herself away from her thoughts, Leisha glanced at Shannon and grumpily asked, “Are you actually going to ride today, or are you just going to stand about and tell me about your dirty escapades?” “What the hell has got at you today, PMT or just lack of sex?” bit back Shannon. Shannon knew she was a little out of order, but felt her best pal should be a little more supportive. “Neither, I just want to receive the horses ridden and receive home, and it could be done in half of the time if you rode every of the horses you should.” Replied Leisha. “Fine. I’ll just receive riding and you do whatever you have to do to receive home!” grumbled Shannon slightly put-out by her pal’s lack of interest. Leisha felt guilty as she slipped a bridle over Noah’s big grey ears and placed the saddle across his back. She was so stuck in her possess head that she couldn’t even hear for five minutes to Shannon. Her thoughts turned to her dark secret as she walked into the arena astride her big grey favourite. She patted his neck as he began to trot easily around the arena. She thought of the last Saturday night out her and Shannon had been on with some of the other girls from the yard. They had gone to Liverpool and finished up in a gay bar called Pink. They always went in there for some old cheesy music, but whilst some of the group had been at the bar, and others were in the toilet, Leisha had begun talking to a girl with a short crop of bright red hair. They had sneaked off to the back of the club and hidden behind the pink upholstery for a kiss. Leisha thought of the way the mysterious girl’s lips had touched hers, the way her skin felt soft as she had placed her hand onto the side of her cheek, and how gently she has parted her lips with her tongue and slowly kissed her for what seemed like an eternity. She had smelt so wonderfully like a lady as she pulled her closer, feeling her breasts touch her possess. It was wonderful, and yet caused her great anxiety. Her worst fears were confirmed, she was definitely a lesbian. She knew that if anyone ever found out, she would be ostracised from showjumping. The world she had worked so difficult to break into and she was working to the extreme now to maintain.

Open Question: Do I have low testosterone levels?

I am 20 years old and i feel i may have had low levels of testosterone for many years now! I have a range of symptoms that I'm not sure if are connected to this but i would like to know.... since i hit puberty (which i felt was quite tardy in comparison to my friends) i have always been last for most things... last to obtain hair.... i still don't have a hairy chest at every ... and i am 20!!? i only have a light amount of hair on my stomach although my groin and below my arms are grand. i sometimes feel i have a smaller sized penis compared to some of my friends although i think the only friends i look naked have larger than average sized penis's anyway... i have always had weak tendons and ligaments ... i seem to always have tendinitis in my elbow although i do do a racket sport ... recently i have felt sleepy but this could be down to over commitment to college / friends / girlfriend. i am still a virgin and i can achieve an erection for foreplay but lose it when it comes to having sex... i think this may be performance anxiety or fear but it still begs the questions about testosterone levels... i don't have any acne in comparison to my friends which although is a good thing i wonder is it also related to this... what are the tell tale signs?? will testosterone levels increase themselves over time... can masturbation affect it ... i would probably masturbate once a day.. never more but most days once. how can i increase my testosterone levels ?? supplements etc... any info would be appreciated ... cheers

Open Question: how do you deal with not making a sport team?

i am a sophomore who tried out for my high school baseball team. i really did not care if i made it or not, but when i saw some of the freshmen who were making the team i said to myself "if they make it and i don't, i am going to flip." then i started to care whether i made it or not. then every of my friends started making the team and i am just as much talented if not better than most of my friends who made it. i got called in and i did not make the team. i know in my mind that the players that the coach chose for the jv team or not any better than me. some of them i was absolutely SHOCKED that made it. how do i deal with my friends making the team and not me. how do i deal with this. i had a great tryout, probably one of the best tryouts i ever had. i definitely should have made the team this year. i am just so mad of some of the people that made and with the coaches decision. please give me some tips of how to deal with this depressing stage in my life. thanks.

Open Question: How should I do my hair for sports?

I'm doing tennis this year and right now we are conditioning which involves a lot of running, P90X, and working out in the weight room (I usually bike or use the elliptical). I hate when I sweat and my bangs and pieces of hair I leave out of my ponytail stick to my face, but I have to leave them out because I look so bad with a ponytail! I feel so ugly with my hair up because my ears stick out, I have a long, oval shaped face with a long nose and eyes that seem too tiny for my face. I look fine with my hair down but once I put it up I look weird. I've pushed my ears back before and I look a lot better like that so I'm considering getting them sewn back (my dad has had it done before) but I'd have to wait a while before anything like that happened. So what I'm asking is, do you have any suggestions as to how I could do my hair? Or do you think people probably don't even care what I look like? I just need some opinions haha thanks for any input! :)

Open Question: First date...scared to disappoint?

So I've been talking to a really nice guy online for about a month since my pal "introduced" us via facebook, and we're going to meet up soon for a date in a local cafe. The thing is I'm really worried that I'm going to disappoint him somehow. We receive along SO well online and never run out of things to talk about, and although I'm trying not to receive my hopes up, we seem to have some good chemistry going on. Basically, I'm worried that he's going to think I'm too fat (i've gained 10 lbs from a sports injury recently) even though we talk a lot online and like each others personalities. He's the first guy that I've really liked and who has also been really interested (in me as a person) for ages and I'm really scared of being rejected or something since it isn't just a case of "I like the way you look, lets date" but more personal and would hurt a lot more. The main issue I have is my body which isn't in great shape at the moment although it isn't awful either, but looks different from my pictures online, (went from skinny to "average") so I really don't know what to wear as my confidence is so low right now! I don't want to cancel but I don't have much time to improve myself either! I don't want to be a dreaded "blind" date! What should I do?

Open Question: Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore!!?

I'm at a really low point in my life although I'm only 16 and have barely experienced anything. That, in fact, is the problem. I don't know what to do, I think I'm stuck. I have two best friends and that's every. I'm not completely stupid but I'm not a genius. But I've also been practicing for my SAT coming up in two weeks for two years now and I took a practice exam two days ago and got fourteen hundred something. That's terrible. The last boyfriend I've had I broke up with last March and even then I only had my first kiss. And the only reason I really accepted to go out with him was because I was desperate to live life.. to experience things before it was too tardy. I realized I was wrong and should just wait. Now, I feel like a ghost in my school; I feel like my life is lagging big time. I stay up until at least 12 every night on homework. I don't have time for anything else. My brother... I don't know what to say about him... okay, I do know.. I hate his guts. Every day he pops out and startles me when I wake up in the morning. He makes fun of me for everything, he's just perfect, speaking socially (he's not the best looker and he makes terrible grades). He hits me for the fun of it.. he doesn't know how much he hurts me. I receive along fine with my parents. I'm really out of shape: every single sport my parents have put me in growing up I quit either because I didn't like it or it's too difficult. Now the only exercise I receive is Zumba, and that's if I can go... even if, it's only once or twice a week. I don't have time for ANYTHING. I mean, if I had time, I'd either hang out more with my friends or I'd practice more for the SAT. I don't have any specialty, meaning I don't know what I'll major in, don't know which career I'll go for... Everyone's life seems like it's set for them. I just feel like I'm completely worthless, like I'm useless on this Earth. I feel like there's nothing for me here.. like the only reason I'm still here is because I have a family and friends that adore me. Nothing else. I don't have any specialty.. anything I want to do with my life... I've never really been serious about any guy.... nothing. I guess my main problem is that I don't know how to balance things out good enough... school, SAT, a social life, exercise...... plus I hate my brother. I suck at everything and I just want to know what you guys think I should do. What do I do? Do I need a psychologist or something? Because I wouldn't have time for that either. Please help me! First, thanks for y'every's answers so far! :) Second, Alexa - I'm in 11th grade.. like I said, my SAT is in 2 weeks, which is a major thing colleges look at, and I'm hoping to go to a good enough college to expand my options of what I will do in life. I am in SAT prep and they go over vocab. Math is okay (670) but the relax is terrible. Everyone's pressuring me to be amazing, and I can't do what everyone expects of me. Jorden - My overall question is how do I balance everything in my life?

They say what everyone else says - balance out your priorities, put more effort into SAT prep.. etc etc. But how do I balance everything out? And I've constantly talked to them about my brother... even THEY sometimes can't deal with him. They've punished him sometimes.. nothing works though. And most of the time they're not even at home. And my weekend goes like this - Saturday is 1.5 hours of Zumba, 2 hours SAT prep, 1 hour piano.. by then it's already 6:30 PM. Sunday is 2 hours tutoring 2 little kids.. sometimes I babysit Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights.. and the relax of the weekend is homework. So nope, no time for anything else. draxxus0018..... I tried "giving him some of his possess medicine" today... he LITERALLY kicked my ass.... difficult. And he's not in karate.. but boy.. does that kid kick difficult. (He's 14)

Open Question: Am I a good fit for the University of Wisconsin?

Hello every, I already got accepted to this school and it was my first choice, but the more and more I read, the more I think it won't be. I am my HS valedictorian and got a 31 on my ACT. The stats at the schools seem pretty good. The average ACT is 29.5 and the average GPA is 3.8 unweighted, but the culture seems very superficial and party-oriented--even stupid. I consider myself to be more intellectual. I like the relative prestige of the school, the tuition, the sports, and the on-campus activities at UW but I really don't want to go out partying every other night. I want to try to go to med school or grad school so it's very important that I keep my grades up. Do you think I will fit in at this school or should I consider transferring elsewhere?

Open Question: Sports to play in highschool?

Hey, so I'm an 8th grader (on my sisters account) and local highschool reps&counselers have been coming to our school, and orientations are next week, and our teachers are really starting to pressure us about highscool. I'm not really worried about my academic classes because I'm qualified and recamended for every honors classes. I think that for my electives I will take spanish and AVID. I'm debating my extra-curricular activities though. I've done cheer since I was 8, and my sister is on the JV cheer team. I nice of want to do cheer, but at the same time I want to try something new. My school doesn't have a gymnastics or dance team ( just colorgaurd). The chances of me making the softball or soccer team is slim since those are the two main club sports for grade 8 down where I live. I'm considering the following: Volleyball (tried it in gym, not very good- but I aim to receive better over the summer) Field Hockey Lacrosse Track & Field (I sprint well, and I like jumping the hurdles) Tennis (my best pal is really good and bound to make the team) Golf (ehh?why not haa.) I'm asking anybody with expirience with any of these sports which I should do. Are they difficult? What can I do to better my chances of making the team?

Open Question: Is This A Bad Thing For Him?

I have a pal who I think has a problem. My pal has a certain way of doing things in life, and I'm worried about it. What he does is when he plays a game he picks the main character, but it doesn't cease at that point. Everything he chooses has to do with that main character, like he will start to pick the main guy in everything ,shows, games, etc. He once played an online game and even though he likes a different character, he picks the main guy! Even when it comes to sports since he picks every main character in every game or show, he wants to be the main position in every sport (i.e. in football he wants to be QB even though he's not good at it. Or in baseball he's always the pitcher when he can't toss, and in basketball he wants to be the "Star Scorer" when he can't shoot that well. he even does with console games. he thinks that the PS3 Slim is the best gaming console ( not that i disagree), but he will only buy PS3 exclusive games! I fear that my pal might be crazy can you tell what would you do to receive him to cease doing what he's doing? By the way, just so you know I am not gay, i'm just concerned for my pal's mentality. If this continues I'll have to find him some "help". I'm not being mean, but if this is the right thing to do, please let me know.

Open Question: How to stop hating my body?

I have been dealing with body issues ever since my awkward preteen years. I am now 22 years old. I am in a very loving relationship with an amazing guy who tells me he loves me and thinks that I am beautiful every day. I was pretty active in high school, and played sports-but I had three siblings and a mom who liked to cook big meals, and so I never learned how to eat right. Now after almost 4 years of college, drinking more than I did in high school, a study abroad trip in Rome, and not involved in sports, I weigh more than I did before. I am not heavy by any means-I am 5'4 and weigh between 124-127 depending on the day (I fluctuate). I feel FAT though. I absolutely DESPISE my body. I am literally so self conscious, I cannot cease dreading how I look in clothes, how much bigger my legs have gotten (I used to be teased for my "chicken legs") and how my stomach is so flabby and not flat. My self esteem regarding my body has gotten so bad it has affected my relationship with my boyfriend. Not only does he feel bad I'm sure that he says I'm beautiful and I still hate my body, but getting intimate is difficult for me because I'm constantly embarrassed about how I look without clothes on, and have a harder time getting into it, and think he must think the same thing. I have tried to take steps to change it-I started working out more intensely almost 2 months ago, and saw a nutritionist to figure out goals for me. But it seems like the more I think about it, the more I obsess and that either leads to me over eating because I'm so sick of caring about it so much that I want to just do the opposite but then I feel so guilty and disgusting after, and send my progress way back. I just don't know what to do. At this point I just want to learn to accept my body the way it is, and really start to LIKE how I look. For my possess sake, and for the sake of my relationship. Any advice as to how to finally accept and adore my body? How to feel beautiful no matter my weight or clothing size? I'm sick of feeling so down on myself, and hating getting dressed because of how I look. Even though I've been exercising and eating much better, I cannot help obsessing over the issue. I just want to be glad and healthy.

Open Question: Colleges similar to Loyola University Maryland?

im a sophomore in hs and i just looked at loyola as a steer thru way. i really liked the school i mean i liked it so much but they don't have a football team which is big for me being because i like to watch college football games. loyola isn't really a reach for me. i have around a 3.5, 3.6 unweighted. i want to go to a nice looking school. LOOKS IS EVERYTHING. and same as sports. like a division 1 college and a well known name. and a good business/law school would be good. my mom said villanova would be a reach but i should definitely look into it. im also applying to Boston College because it's my dream school no matter where my grades are. but what schools should i look at in the east coast (with the exception of like the mideast (michigan, tennessee, etc.) thanks.

Open Question: Can someone help me with my problem?

My agenda for today is basketball, at school we play basketball at my school for about 40 minutes, i like the sport, but everytime i receive the ball i either shoot open or pass it away (this is at school btw on the road or at home with my friends i'm good) i have the nice of mentality where i'm a bit scared to try to dibble or try to do something i normally don't do( i.e. like driving to the hoop, or creating shots off the dribble) i do this because i don't want to be ridiculed by the big guys that are far better than me to make fun of me or something. I'm always picked because of my defense usually, but i'm also known for my jumpshot, i just want to do a little more other than hear "Justin! Pass Me The Ball!" Is there any advice anyone can give so i can receive the courage to show my stuff?

Open Question: What are good videos for me to play?

I adore animals and books like Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Lord of the Rings, and the Inheritance Cycle. I don't know of any good video games for me to play. I don't want to kill other people or zombies. Stuff like war with goblins in Lord of the Rings (or something like that) is okay, I guess. I also adore yoga. I possess a x-box 360 (kinect too), a Wii, DS lite and a 3DS. Oh, and I don't really like sports... I meant video games...

I'm not THAT shy, but I am very silent most of the time. There is only one or two friends I have that I can be my complete self around, Not sure why, but those are the two friends I can just be fun and have a good time with. every the others I'm boring around and don't say much to.

Open Question: Really good hardtail or decent FS?

So Ive narrowed down my choices for $1000 and below. It can either be a higher end sport trek (4000 series to maybe up to starting 6000 series) or a Giant Yukon FX (which is the only $1000 FS i could find) both from my LBS. I ride trails that vary from light to rugged and do some light jumps and my local park has some pretty big jumps but nothing big. Which bike should I receive and which would be worth it in terms of components, quality, durability, and versatility. Or should I keep up a couple more and receive a trek Fuel ex 5? Thanks!

Open Question: Omg, does this guy like me? Is he just being friendly?!?

There's this guy I've known for ages and I'm not sure if I like him or not... We are actually quite good friends and we text practically every day. The texts he sends have a lot of winky faces, kisses, hearts etc. He also says a lot of stuff that could be interpreted as more than friends or just friendly... Like for example, I said I talk in my snooze and he was like what do you say? And I said I don't know, I'm asleep but probably something to do with my dreams. And he was like 'I wonder what you dream about'. And he compliments me a lot. He says I'm really pretty and constantly asks me if I want him to be my bodyguard against other guys that flirt with me. He's usually the one to start off any text conversation. He teases me every the time, about not being good at video games and sports and stuff. But then he compliments me on things I like, like dance or art. He calls me by my personal nickname (he's only just started doing that). I have a teddy, and he said I should name it after him... Which freaked me out a little bit. If I tell him I like something, he agrees usually. He also says (in these texts) we should do this together or whatever... with a winky face. We often text tardy into the night as well. He told me that his parents approve of me and when he found out we were doing the same subjects, he suggested we help each other out. He said he would adore to share a dance with me and also said I would look beautiful in a dress. He calls me sweetie, honey, beautiful, darling etc. He also says I adore you quite a bit. But I reckon that may just be like a friendly I adore you. He is sometimes off with me though, which I can't understand... He'll just be a bit quieter or whatever. I have no idea if I like him, or whether I'm imagining stuff or what... Please help!

Open Question: Is this girl perfect and really pretty?? I'm SOO jealous :(?

So theres this girl in my grade that the 5 most popular guys are fighting over She kinda seems perfect: She's AMAZING at sports, she got accepted into this realllly competative choir, she won a few awards last year for best artist, she's veryveryvery smart- she receive's perfect grades and she has a great sense of humor. The guys also think she's the prettiest girl in the grade, regardless of her personality. I have to admit, I'm super jealous of her. And the worst part is, it's SO difficult to dislike her. She is the only one of the 'popular girls' who is a good person. She volunteers at an old people's home, and she's always the one to stick up for people. She has a record of never saying mean things about people behind their back, and she is just so sweet in general. She's just that girl who is always there for everyone, and I don't understand how she is so perfect!!!! I have some pictures that her friends posted on her wall from when they were video chatting....do you think that she's pretty?? http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/5052/photoon20120222at17272.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6799/photoon20120221at1825.jpg http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/3632/photoon20120208at1604.jpg http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/6923/photoon20120130at19532.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/8199/photoon20120129at1204.jpg http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/1206/photoon20120127at1931.jpg ps.

Open Question: How do I get this popular guy that I like to like me back or at least just talk about ANYTHING?

He is EXTREMELY popular among almost every crowd, he's really cute and I like him! Okay, well (I know this sounds conceited) but I think I'm pretty cute, I receive A's and B's only....(I am in a program for advanced students which is new at my school so almost nobody is in it, plus I have 9th grade science and 9th grade algebra, I am in 7th btw). I know that may sound like bragging but me being in a program is nice of essential to this you'll find out soon. It's pretty difficult to receive popular guys if you're not AS popular, and I have popular friends but me MYSELF isn't popular. So i'm what the schools call "semi-popular". I don't curse...I don't swear... I'm nice of a "goody two shoes", lol, yeah. Never gotten a detention in my life! every HIS friends are noisy...they are always in detention... always talking back to teachers and never doing their work. So he's nice of unaproachable. And it's even harder since he's always hanging out with about 10 people at a time. I'm serious. I only look him in the hallways, before I never used to look him but now I'm seeing him constantly in the hallways. It's pretty easy to spot him since everyone is like HALF HIS SIZE, lol. Everyone says he's cute, much like "OMYGOSH HE'S SO CUTE!" or "OMIGOSH HE'S SOOO TALL!" or, "HE'S SO HOT." Welcome to my school, lol :) Anyways, what got me interested in him is that I was tardy to class one day.... (because my teacher switched rooms and I didn't really know where to go),so I was just walking like whatever you know, lol. But then I look HIM with two other guys walking to class and then this other guy goes like,"Oh so that's the girl you like, huh?" The guy I like didn't say anything but then the OTHER guy (not the one that talked before) ssaid,"I KNEW IT." Then they went in the class and MOST LIKELY they were just playing around but i've been starting to notice how awesome he is lol. I don't know I just REALLY like him for some reason...you guys know what i mean O.o I can't cease thinking about him...how do I approach him?? I only look him in the hallways (NOW because before I never did)...I mean..I'm not expecting him to ASK ME OUT or anything (if he did, I'd die!!!! In a good way!!! <<<<), I just want to talk to him...about WHATEVER...i just want to talk to him, you know! By the way, he DOES do an afterschool sport and that's football, but I'm never gonna play football so don't say afterschool sport ^.^ Help me please? Thank you :)

Resolved Question: Which box would be the best choice for my two JL 10w3v2 subs?

I'm getting two 10" w3v2 JL subs. I have a jeep wrangler and i have very limited space for subs. I don't want to take the back seat out or take up the whole seat, so i'm putting a box in behind it. From everything that I've looked through, I have 3 top options for enclosures. 2 of these boxes are exactly the same, except one is ported and one is sealed, which brings me to my next question... should i receive a ported or a sealed enclosure. Like i said i have a jeep wrangler and i will be taking the top off in the warmer weather, however the box will still be crammed between the backseat/tailgate, and floor/soft top (folded back/down). Which sounds better or hits harder or what? tell me everything you know/suggest. The other box is sealed but much smaller in airspace, which might fit my subs better. ONE SUB AIRSPACE SPECS: (2X FOR BOTH) Sealed volume: 0.625- 0.75 cu ft Ported volume: 1.00 - 1.25 cu ft HERE ARE MY OPTIONS FOR ENCLOSURES: bigger box (sealed): *1.25 cu.ft. per chamber* http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-WRANGLER-CJ-YJ-TJ-SPORT-2-DOOR-10-DF-GREY-SUBWOOFER-SUB-ENCLOSURE-BOX-/310361288182?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&vxp=mtr&hash=item4842f96df6#ht_2472wt_951 bigger box (ported): *1.25 cu. ft. per chamber @ 38Hz* http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-WRANGLER-CJ-YJ-TJ-SPORT-2-DOOR-10-DF-PORTED-SUBWOOFER-SUB-ENCLOSURE-BOX-/310361288234?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&vxp=mtr&hash=item4842f96e2a#ht_2471wt_951 smaller box (sealed): *0.82 cu.ft. per chamber* http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-WRANGLER-CJ-YJ-TJ-SPORT-2-DOOR-10-GREY-SUBWOOFER-SUB-ENCLOSURE-BOX-/270860136356?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&vxp=mtr&hash=item3f1085afa4#ht_2453wt_951 also, is it better to have too much or not enough air space... :/ SO WHICH SHOULD I receive PLEASE NEED EXPERT OPINIONS THANK YOU

Open Question: Trade in my Honda fit for a Camry ?

I bought a Honda fit in 2009.... Its 2010 Sport 27500 miles on the car. I still owe about $6000. I adore this car but it's just a 'bad luck' car for me. It's in good condition. And the blue book value is $12000- $13000. I want to receive a normal size car. Im 5'4 so the car is good for me but my parents and brothers are very tall and they hate to sit in the back seat of my car. Ive noticed a lot of people don't look my car on the highway (where I spend most of my time bcos I commute to school mon- fri) and it scares me. One major problem that I had with the car is that the mastor cylinder was damaged and Honda paid for the damages in full and fixed it, but now I'm completely turned off that the brakes might fail again. I want to receive a new 2011 or 2012 Camry-- the basic LE. Should I make the trade... Or not..?!

Open Question: do you like my diary book, chapter 1?

MY MIDDLE SCHOOL DIARIES: Dear diary, a snotty couple in seventh grade homeroom class who were meant for each other consisted of Holly and Jared. I met Jared once again at the YMCA after high school when he was around 19 years old and more mature. He was really chilly. Yet that was way after high school. In junior high Jared was a major asshole that wore the expensive name brand sweaters and jeans. Naturally he was the object of affection for stuck-up Holly. I hated that bitch. Someday I will tell her how stuck up she was since third grade. THE MYSTERIOUS MIDDLE SCHOOL Dear diary, middle school sucked big time. It was way different than the good ole days of elementary school. In elementary school the majority of us students got along well. But middle school was simply horrible for me. every students from multiple elementary schools gathered together into one tiny but very tall Junior High School. I remember we had to use the stairs to receive to the third floor. every of a sudden groups were popular and if you did not belong in one you were considered very weird. There were the jocks, preps, smokers, and nerds. I HATE GYM CLASS Dear diary, there was a little spot of water on the long bench where every of us had to sit down before gym class started in seventh grade. Ironically, I was the one who sat on the water. I sat next to my pal, Kevin. Anyways, the jock said I sat on my pal Kevin’s piss. There was no piss, just water. Where the heck did that sentence arrive from? The silly thing is that no one was listening so I was not embarrassed. SUICIDE Dear diary, one of the biggest shockers when I was in school was the suicide death of boy in middle school. He was an older brother to a female classmate of mine. I heard he shot himself in the head but I was not certain. I always wondered why he would take his possess life. Did his parents pressure him into getting good grades or becoming a great athlete? I remember my parents talking about this when they read the newspaper article on the suicide. Our conversation that night was really awkward and uncomfortable. JAKE Dear diary, while I was going to the bathroom after gym class during seventh grade I heard Jacob say my name down the hall in the locker room area. I could not make out the relax of his sentence but I knew my name meant something very bad. I felt horrible on the inside. I wanted to beat the shit out of that popular blonde midget classmate of mine. How arrive short students can become popular, yet a tall kid like me cannot LOL? SHANE Dear diary, Shane and I used to receive along well in grade school. However, during junior high school he nice of sided with the preps some of the time. We would still receive along once in a while but I could tell the difference. You know, he was one of those friends that would be every chilly with you but if some preps were nearby then Shane would belittle me or ignore me. I remember in seventh grade health class one time Shane just looked back at me and stared for like ten seconds. It was one of those stares where he is looking at me because I did not fit the ‘middle school masculine boy mold” since I was skinny and sucked in sports. I felt pissed off and wanted to smack his ugly face. CHRIS: Back in middle school I heard a rumor that Chris had the biggest dick in middle school. I overheard a conversation my brother was having with his classmate Darren outside in the steer-way. I thought it was nice of odd when Darren said he saw how big the penis was in the shower. Now why would you mention that to another guy? But during this time every of us boys are going through puberty and every had to take showers during after-school sports or in middle school gym class. I wish I had a huge dick at that time. I bet I would have been more confident with the girls. UGLY DAUGHTER Dear diary, when a mom sees her daughter grow up to be a beautiful teenager it is never just a good thing. The mom sees her attractive fifteen year old as something wonderful, but also something of potential danger. Since her daughter is so hot she realizes that she will have sex much sooner than other girls. And this worries a mom because of diseases out there such as Aids, HIV, and Herpes. On the other hand, a mom of an ugly fifteen year old girl does not have to worry because she is less likely to receive laid in high school. JOSHUA: Josh was not a pal of mine in reality, simply one of those buddies at school only. Looking back, I think now I know why. Usually stuck up boys are snobby for a reason, whether it is their good looks or tremendous athletic ability or high grades. Josh had none of those positive attributes and still was arrogant many times. Granted Josh was not as cocky as our fellow preps and jocks and jerks. It is no surprise though because if some people are not popular they are going to take it out on others, including their friends and classmates.

SUICIDE Dear diary, one of the biggest shockers when I was in school was the suicide death of boy in middle school. He was an older brother to a female classmate of mine. I heard he shot himself in the head but I was not certain. I always wondered why he would take his possess life. Did his parents pressure him into getting good grades or becoming a great athlete? I remember my parents talking about this when they read the newspaper article on the suicide. Our conversation that night was really awkward and uncomfortable. 5. JAKE Dear diary, while I was going to the bathroom after gym class during seventh grade I heard Jacob say my name down the hall in the locker room area. I could not make out the relax of his sentence but I knew my name meant something very bad. I felt horrible on the inside. I wanted to beat the shit out of that popular blonde midget classmate of mine. How arrive short students can become popular, yet a tall kid like me cannot LOL? 6 SHANE Dear diary, Shane and I used to receive along well in grade school. However, during junior high school he nice of sided with the preps some of the time. We would still receive along once in a while but I could tell the difference. You know, he was one of those friends that would be every chilly with you but if some preps were nearby then Shane would belittle me or ignore me. I remember in seventh grade health class one time Shane just looked back at me and stared for like ten seconds. It was one of those stares where he is looking at me because I did not fit the ‘middle school masculine boy mold” since I was skinny and sucked in sports. I felt pissed off and wanted to smack his ugly face. 7 CHRIS: Back in middle school I heard a rumor that Chris had the biggest dick in middle school. I overheard a conversation my brother was having with his classmate Darren outside in the steer-way. I thought it was nice of odd when Darren said he saw how big the penis was in the shower. Now why would you mention that to another guy? But during this time every of us boys are going through puberty and every had to take showers during after-school sports or in middle school gym class. I wish I had a huge dick at that time. I bet I would have been more confident with the girls. 8 UGLY DAUGHTER Dear diary, when a mom sees her daughter grow up to be a beautiful teenager it is never just a good thing. The mom sees her attractive fifteen year old as something wonderful, but also something of potential danger. Since her daughter is so hot she realizes that she will have sex much sooner than other girls. And this worries a mom because of diseases out there such as Aids, HIV, and Herpes. On the other hand, a mom of an ugly fifteen year old girl does not have to worry because she is less likely to receive laid in high school. 9 JOSHUA: Josh was not a pal of mine in reality, simply one of those buddies at school only. Looking back, I think now I know why. Usually stuck up boys are snobby for a reason, whether it is their good looks or tremendous athletic ability or high grades. Josh had none of those positive attributes and still was arrogant many times. Granted Josh was not as cocky as our fellow preps and jocks and jerks. It is no surprise though because if some people are not popular they are going to take it out on others, including their friends and classm

Open Question: Why are sportspeople often referred to as role models?

Those two boxing yobs this week really made me think, when someone stated it was regretful partly because youngsters look up to such people as role models. At the end of the day we are talking forms of entertainment which to say the least are pretty trivial and hardly admirable in terms of human affairs. In football for instance cheating is endemic and players appear in the press not infrequently for fighting in clubs, drunken driving and worse. Other sports too occupy the news with whiffs of corruption, immorality and criminal activity. Hardly fertile ground for admiration surely, but something that was once a sport corrupted by money. What about Nobel Prize winners and some of those who are awarded the OBE/MBE etc for good work, or the owners of a really successful firm like JCB if people really want to look up to someone? Are we really that obsessed and brainwashed with low grade mass entertainment even to the detriment of young peoples education as alleged by a schoolteacher to me? Early teenagers and pop stars to some extent maybe, but when I cannot hold a conversation in the pub for people shouting about sport 20 feet away I really do wonder what people's personal thoughts are and whether some give any real attention to things that really effect their lives and those of their kids, let alone more erudite entertainment.
