I have a 96 Mazda B4000 truck - want to go from Maine to New jersey and am curious about gas mileage - At what speed do I drive on the highway to get the most out of my buck?
Also anyone know a good site to get the current gas prices between here and there?
Any advice would be great!! I just had a oil change and all that, wasn't sure if that made a difference - have good tires, too.
Thank you!Advice on getting the best Gas Mileage?
1. Make sure you have a clean air filter. A dirty or clogged air filter causes your engine to run very innefficiently.
2. Check your tire pressure while the tires are cold the morning before you leave. Tires that are low causes increased rolling resistance. It wouldn't even hurt to Increase them to the maximum pressure on the sidewall instead of what's listed on the door. The pressure listed on the door is for ride comfort and handling. Just remember not to fill them to a pressure higher than what's listed. NEVER UNDERINFLATE TIRES. The tires are more likely to get over heated and blow up. It sounds wrong but it's true.
3. When's the last time your trans fluid, differential fluid, and power steering fluid was changed? As oil gets older and breaks down it's viscosity increases (gets thicker), robbing you of fuel efficeincy. And yes, changing your oil not only gives you better mileage, but it also gives you more power. Besides, having a properly maintained truck gives you piece of mind.
4. Don't carry extra weight. Take out the golf clubs and bowling balls. All that extra weight uses more fuel during accelleration and maintaing speed.
5. When accellerating do it slowly and keep your speed as constant as possible. Drive as close to the posted speed limit as possible. You get the best mileage in the highest gear when you engine is not under a heavy load(not having to push down much on the gas pedal to maintain speed). Speeding KILLS gas mileage. That is what they mean when they say speed kills isn't it? ha ha.
6.Go to gasbuddy.com and check your route. Click on the prices and it'll tell you the name of the station.
7. Drive at night when there isn't a lot of traffic. Less speeding up and slowing down saves gas.
8. Last but not least, drive safely.Advice on getting the best Gas Mileage?
Avoid hard acceleration and braking, and keep your speed between 60-70mph (preferably on cruise control so your car just sips enough gas).
Make sure your tires are properly inflated and, at that speed, turning on the a/c burns less gas than rolling your windows down.
For gas prices check www.gaspricewatch.com for good deals between Maine and New Jersey. Also make sure all your tires are well-inflated or between 30-35PSI. Use the Cruise Control, avoid excessive breaking and taking off, drive between 60-70MPH. Do service maintenance and check your air filter, gas filter, make sure you have enough fluids and put some fuel injeector carburator cleaner in your gas tank to help maintain optimum engine efficiency.
Have a safe trip.
Go at about the speed limit would be good, but not above.
Make certain tire pressures are good.
Good gas price site is autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations
Use your cruise control if you have it, drive at about 50 mph at a steady pace on the highway. Change the Air Filter and fuel filters before you go. Check the air in your tires and during the trip. Leave them a little under, say 30 lbs if it says 32 lbs. They will build up heat and pressure in long distance driving. Good Luck

What was the best advice that you have ever gave someone or that someone has given you?
Don't care about what people think of me.What was the best advice that you have ever gave someone or that someone has given you?
That when you are dating, you have to remember that it only needs to work once. It isn't like your car that has to start everyday. It is the only thing that just has to work once in life. And if you found it the first time you tried, it wouldn't be special.What was the best advice that you have ever gave someone or that someone has given you?
dont try to change him. one day at a time. wear clean underwear. and my fav dont eat yellow snow. ha ha

Expect the unexpected, love your self.
There is one saying that I have always help close to my heart, and it says everything.
'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference'
This is a wonderful advice and prayer and has helped me alot.What is the best advice someone has told you?

Well my bff has given sooooo much good advice for the past 2 years that I don't know which one to choose! It's as if she has an answer to all of my problems!
DNT WAIT 2 TELL SOMEONE U LOVE THEN BECAUSE WHEN THAT TIME COMES IT MIGHT BE TO LATE
if something is meant to be then you don't have to force it. It will happen for you the right time.
The best advice someone told me was to serve God to the best of my ability. To live a life that is holy and just. To stay away from sin. To love my neighbor as my self. I think that is some very good advice
It doesn't matter how much crap the world throws at you, just keep going.
Once a whore, always a whore.
They cheat with you, they will cheat on you.
My mother in law constantly gives me great advice. She's like my free counselor and sometimes even therapist :)
In life, hold the candle with one hand, and grab with the other.
It's great to have knowledge, but we have to work, too.
Be yourself; those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

What's your best advice for divorce recovery?
My divorce is final this week. My STBX has moved on--literally and figuratively. Despite being blessed with virtually sole custody of the kids, I continuously find myself bitter, angry, or depressed (at my disolved hopes for my family's future, the betrayal, his happiness and his girlfriend, my overwhelming responsibilities, our failure, etc.) I'm tired of these negative emotions, but I've not a clue how to shed them. Please don't advise me to get a hobby, as I've plenty to do already-- on none of which I can concentrate. I'm tired of my own self-pity and stagnation. I feel like I'm living each day just to get through it, and yet I know I deserve better and so do my children. What steps must I take to snap out of it? Please bombard me with your best wisdom!What's your best advice for divorce recovery?

What's the best advice you could give to an aspiring author?
As was told to me by James Patterson once, 'Just keep writing.' It seems obvious now - but you'll see once you get started and may even cling onto that statement.What's the best advice you could give to an aspiring author?
Don't ever stop.What's the best advice you could give to an aspiring author?
Aspire to write profoundly meaningful prose. The author part is the icing.
good tips for writing could be to base some things on personal experiances but make it more dramatic.... other things to help write are to read a few books by your favourite author :)
Speaking from experience, you shouldn't aspire to be an ';author.'; You should aspire to be a ';writer.'; That's who you are. It's what you do. And keep doing it. Write every day even if it is totally unrelated stuff. Hone your skill, develop a style, and learn about characters. Read lots and lots of books. Make drafts, don't accept anything for perfect. Most importantly, do what YOU like, for yourself. If someone else likes it and you end up being an ';author';, then that's a great perk for doing something you love to do. Good luck!
Never give up.
Believe in yourself %26amp; your writing abilities.
Let others (family/friends) read some of your writings %26amp; ask for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism from them.
Find out what circumstances (time of day, settings etc.) when you feel as if you produce your best efforts %26amp; utilize these times/places etc.
Carry a notebook %26amp; pen with you always so you can jot down ideas when you feel inspired (sometimes these moments can strike at the most unlikely times %26amp; places...I find that I have to get things down spontaneously when it strikes, but others feel they can make short notes %26amp; return to it later %26amp; expand ~ find out which method works best for you)
Research the subjects you choose to write about thoroughly.
Enjoy your skills %26amp; have fun writing.
If you get knock backs from publishers etc.
Don't despair ~ keep sending the manuscripts out there til you find someone willing to publish etc....You may be able to self-publish if you want instead.
Don't give up.
Don't make your story confusing.
Make your characters interesting.
Purchase ';On Writing'; by Stephen King. Even if you are not a fan of his. He gives excellent advice in this book. It tells you things like ';show'; don't ';tell,'; don't use too many adverbs, don't over describe a person or place, don't use the passive voice, etc. It is written in novel-like fashion. It isn't just a list of things not to do. He gives reasons for his advice. It only costs about $8 and it is well worth the price. I went in to more detail in this answer to somebody else: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
Do good work. Don't butcher the language. READ GOOD BOOKS. Don't read crap. I think that about sums it up.
Try writing on something you feel deeply or have personally experienced and that you think is different.Also I personally feel that while writing you should not think about how readers might receive what you are writing. that might cramp your narrative and the flow of what you have to say.
Mahatma Gandhi - “Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.”
Listen to constructive criticism and never give up. There will be a lot of people who will tell you that what you are doing is nonsense, to get a real job, that what you are writing doesn't sell... don't listen to them. Keep writing, keep trying.roc bloom-

There is got to be a way? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I am 22 years old. I am trying to define myself, but I am scared of taking the wrong road.
My father and family want me to be a doctor since I was a little kid---I could never imagine being anything else, but a doctor. I actually went to science highschool to become a doctor. Unforetunately, I did not like math and science.
In college I was majoring in Political Science (IR) to become a diplomat---I very much love the subjects. Luckily, I had a great opportunity to do an internship at an embassy. I found out good and bad about the life of diplomats---I do not want to be a diplomat. Therefore, I am now doing my Master in Public Administration (HR). I will graduate in May. Honestly, I am now scared to find out that l actually do not like to work in this area and waste my time go to college.
What should I do? Please advice. Thank you very much.
Sorry for the poor grammar ---English is my second language.There is got to be a way? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I would just like to say that you sound extremely accomplished for a 22 year old, and I find the fact that your taking the time to test the water to be a very appealing trait. I know a guy whose parents told him unless he majored in law or medicine they wouldn麓t pay for his education. So he became a doctor and now there are days when he麓ll just come home sobbing because he hates his work so much (husband of a friend). And that麓s no way to live.
If you major in Public Administration, and it turns out not to be your thing, it麓s not necessarily a waste of time. It麓s just one more thing that you know. After all, knowledge is the one thing that cannot be taken away from you in this world. I麓m sure that you麓ve done your research and have found your niche. If not, then there麓s really nothing you can do about it right now. There麓s no point dropping it if you麓re going to graduate in May. So what I would suggest is, if you take a job and don麓t like it, explore other jobs in which you can use the same major. I麓m sure there麓s something out there.There is got to be a way? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Continue to try different things, eventually you'll find something you love. Many people like the idea of a job better than the job itself, so try something you normally wouldn't go for.
Nothing is waisted. All of it is the perfect set of steppingstones for becoming what you came here to be.
Don't worry, just take life one day at a time and everything will work out fine.
Trust me.

Allow LIFE to take it's course , life will show you the way if you let it ... And how you do that ? is by taking and trying doors that present your way , when you less expect it . Let's say ... an opportunity to go to Africa to help out in some obscure country appears out of the blue ... don't refuse by finding excuses , just go for it as your life opens up , you see we are hear for a reason , and we all have a destiny to fulfill , let life guide you and good luck .
Follow your passion. Nothing is ever a waste of time. Detours in life always serve a purpose. You might meet someone on one of those detours that will give you directions for the continuity of your life.
You are young and you already have accomplished a lot more then the majority of people your age. It's normal to feel a bit confused. It's only by trial and error that you will identify what you feel the most comfortable with. Don't be scared. Fear will be your enemy and will close the doors of opportunities.
Life is like a treasure hunt. You have a map, and you have clues, then you are on your own.
I think at some point you have to buckle down and settle for something you won't be completely happy with, but know you have to do it.
I can't see how anyone ever likes to work, but they all buckle down and get it done.
i sure the advice everyone else has given you is good but it sounds like you need a break. Time to relax and get your thoughts in order. If you don't like a certain field then by all means don't stay there but remember finding your dream job shouldn't be stressful.
I'm 20 and have no idea what i want to be but i do know that i want time for my family and time to travel. If that means i only make 50k a year that's okay cuz i'll be happy.
Regardless of what you become or how much you make if your not happy then it's not worth it.
Ok. Your family's opinions do not count. It is your life, you must choose what you want to be, and what you are the best in. However, if you mastered one subject, but don't like it, DO NOT continue with that career. Why? Because throughout your life, the hate will spread over and it will mess up your career. It will have been useless, messed up all your time of hard work. You must choose which career you want to do? Don't be a doctor if you don't like math and science. And certainly, don't be a diplomat, it will mess everything up later in your career, even if you don't think so. You have to take a little try in every class. The one you like best, and leads to the job you want to be, do it. It mays take a few more years, but it is way worth it. Think about it. Would you rather take..5 to 10 years to find your match? To master it? Or the rest of your life living in a miserable world in a job that you don't want to be. Be what you want, that's what is important.
With that masers degree you can always teach you first language to the rest of us.
I wonder why we don't call it XXXX as a second language ?
Well, have you had any actual work experience in the HR area, yet? If not, don't worry about just now. You'll have to try it before you'll know whether or not you'll like it. As an intern at an embassy you were able to see what was going on. You probably haven't yet experienced the HR thing yet.
We all have to do things we don't want to do. Unfortunately, our jobs are sometimes some of those things.
With a Masters degree you can be a teacher, if you think you might like that. Heck, where I live you only have to have a high school diploma or a GED to be a substitute teacher!
It's really up to you. Just because you've spent time trying to learn in one area and you don't like it doesn't mean you've totally wasted your time. It shouldn't take long to figure out if you like it or not. If you don't, it shouldn't take long to get education to do other things. Remember that some classes will overlap with other concentrations. If you want to do something else, you could continue to work in the HR field while you take classes to do other things.
Don't fret about it right now. Just wait until you know for sure.
It is not unusual, at your age, to second guess yourself - or to be concerned that the path you have chosen is, in fact, the path you will be happiest with.
My advice - don't worry about it until you give it a bit of a ride. Let the first few experiences set your course.
And remember, the road to happiness is not always smooth. There will be bumps (and a few bruises) along the way. Still, if you find that you love it, keep at it.
Well first...DON'T BE AFRAID! If you don't try how will you know what you want? My advice is to do whatever interests you now, and if you are disappointed of that decision later... well you still have time to change your mind. After all isn't that what life is about...taking chances, changing, growing...and yeah having fun.
Good luck!

My advice - don't worry about it until you give it a bit of a ride. Let the first few experiences set your course.
And remember, the road to happiness is not always smooth. There will be bumps (and a few bruises) along the way. Still, if you find that you love it, keep at it.
Well first...DON'T BE AFRAID! If you don't try how will you know what you want? My advice is to do whatever interests you now, and if you are disappointed of that decision later... well you still have time to change your mind. After all isn't that what life is about...taking chances, changing, growing...and yeah having fun.
Good luck!
What is the best advice your parents ever gave you?
Mostly by setting an example with their own lives. My father was a quiet man who would answer any questions, but once we reached age 12 or thereabouts, we had to approach him. He did this to maintain our curiosity. Many times he or my mother's eyes would be dancing with mirth, and we would know to ask a question.
I never began asking for advice until I was on my own, and my father's was always ';Stay thrifty. You never know when it's going to end. Fashions change every year because they want your money.';What is the best advice your parents ever gave you?
Leave and never return.What is the best advice your parents ever gave you?
If he'll leave someone for you, then he'll leave you for someone else. I didn't think it was true until it happened to me.
Never Be a quitter, keep moving until you beat whatever you are beating and challenging in life, DONT QUIT, THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME QUITTER NEVER WINS AND A WINNER NEVER LOSES, AND ANOTHER THING THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME WAS, DONT DO AS I SAY OR DID IN THE PAST
Go to college right out of high school and get a degree (I didn't listen, and now it's really hard to do college, full time job, and have a social life...so I regret not going right after high school...my mom was soooo right)
Oh....
....and don't eat the yellow snow!!! :)
they dont talk to me
the only time they do is when they are mad and they take it all out on me
im reading all the advice and i wish my mom would tell me that
no matter what NEVER give up on what you really want in life
To try my hardest, don't make the same mistakes as they did and never quit on something just because it is difficult.
My father told me ';forgive everybody everything'; -
my mother told me not to trust anyone................................
so I guess both.
To do as they say, not as they do; and not ALWAYS as they say.
my father on his deathbed just days before he passed away looked me in the eye and said: ';This gift of time is valuable. Once a moment is gone it will never come back.';
may Allah forgive him his sins and give him Jannah, ameen.
do your best so u dont have any regrets in the future..and also to choose friends that dont get u in trouble lol
you can fall in love with a rich man just as easily as you can with a poor man.
xD awkward advice but i remember it...xD

What is the best advice you've ever been told?
If you do it right the 1st time, you wouldn't have to do it again. My moms.
Be the best in whatever you do, If you pick up horse ****, then be the best one. My dad, when leaving home at 17 to join the Army.What is the best advice you've ever been told?
after becoming a mum it was confusing with all the advice from people and there point of views it was over whelming.
then in a book i was reading it said a mother knows her child the best trust your gut instincts when it comes to your child. plain and simple i know but it helped me and i now have 3 kids and continue to do soWhat is the best advice you've ever been told?
My Mom who told me about credit cards saying ';It isn't money you have, it's money you owe'; after I received my first one...and got into tons of trouble after that and now remember what she said and today I only have one card that you have to pre pay before you can use it and that way no more trouble.
learn from your mistakes. Every mistake u make is a lesson learned
be your self dont let anyone push you around and step on you stick up for your self dont listen to what ppl say and if someone is saying nagitve things to you its 90% that their just jealous
An education is something no one can take away from you.
Don't let family members use your credit cards or your good credit to get the things they need!
i think it is
scoldings of our confidrants are better than the well wishes of envious people.
anything dont kill you make you better
Wrap it up and no kids before marriage
That people can't take advantage of you, unless you let them!
We are all born insane.
yes leave my bf of 15 years but ive took no notice lol
never quit to any problem only face it
Trust no one
You're you, not them...told to me by a very wise man.
to keep my mouth shut

What's the best advice you ever received from a friend that you didn't take?
my father said to me : do not consume all the fun in your life,spare some for boring times and he laughed ha ha ha...
I stopped thinking 4 a moment but I realized that he was absolutely right somehow...
now in the summer I always feel bored...What's the best advice you ever received from a friend that you didn't take?
Be honest with yourself. If you're really not too good at doing what you do, don't do it.
My career SUCKS now... If I had only listened to him...What's the best advice you ever received from a friend that you didn't take?
Don't marry that jerk!!.....I didn't listen....wish now that I had.

it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

small ad in local newspaper, flyers, craiglist, post cards.
make friends with real estate agents. They will refer their buyers to you if you are good to them... figure out what that means and learn the term RESPA
Get a real estate license. You will work with the same people but make much more money. Real Estate agents use Mortgage Originators to cull out the people who can't buy a house so they have more productive time. You have to be careful cold calling with the do not call laws.
There are many ways to find real estate clients.

Need advice on what hairstyle would be best for me please?
right basically i have a side fringe and where my hair is parted at the front my fringe naturally flicks up. I blow dry it down everyday and within about half an hour it pops back up.
Ive got long blonde hair and a side fringe, i want to keep it long and i still want a fringe although preferably not a full one. Does anyone have any suggestions of any hairstyles or techniques of how to make this flick go away lol ?Need advice on what hairstyle would be best for me please?
sounds like you just need to train your hair. Before you go to bed each night try weting the part that flicks up and then pin it with a hair pin or clip in the direction that you want it to go , after about a week of this it should stay where you want it to when you style it!
hope this helps!

Some of the best advice you can give?
just in general, about life?Some of the best advice you can give?
Ignoring a problem does not make it go away.
Pray about a problem for two weeks. After two weeks, is there still a problem? If there is you will have the answer. But usually the problem has resolved itself.
Most times it's best to keep your mouth shut, listen and smile, smile, smile!Some of the best advice you can give?
if you don't know where you came from, you can't tell where you're going.
When life sucks, just dance.

My computer. 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I bought new labtop a year ago. I just added more memory last summer. I never have problem with it. However, it has been shut down itself two times. When it shutted down I had to wait for 20 minutes because it was not start.
What was it problem? How can I solve this problem. Thank you.My computer. 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Likely overheating. Clean the vents. Make sure that it is sitting on a hard surface when using. Not your lap or atop your bed.
If it is still under warranty and cleaning the vents doesn't fix it, have it checked out under warranty. The time from shutting down and being able to restart is what I am basing my advice on.My computer. 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I was capturing a video with Pinnacle Studio and capture card to my laptop. Suddenly, my charger was making noise, I stopped the video, but it wouldn't respond and made the laptop shut down by itself. I was trying to capture a video but the pitch was changing. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Windows often shuts down you PC after an update. It then takes forever to come back up because it is installing the updates. Nothing to worry about.
Sounds like an overheating problem. Make sure none of the vent holes are obstructed when you're using the laptop. You also may want to check for dust build up in parts of it that you can open, such as the memory expansion port. If you find dust there be sure to ground yourself as you remove it so you don't ';zap'; the RAM with static electricity.
Its either your battery or your computer is overheating.
TO fix overheating problems, oopen up your laptop according to the service manual from your manufacturer and remove the dust from the vents and fans in the PC. Your heatsinks and heatspreaders may also be clogged with dust. Once removed, your computer should also run faster and have more battery.
OK - I have had this issue before and it drives you crazy!
My issue -- the battery is not getting charged. This could be your problem. Worse part is - your battery might be fine - the power cord/charge may be faulty.
The true way to test this is to have a second power cord/charger to test with -one that is just like what you have. If it charges the battery, then you know your battery is OK and you need a new power cord/charger. If the battery still does not charge - time for a new battery.
I believe this will solve your problem. Hope it helps.
You picked up a virus. It is probably in your start up routine. Run your anti-virus now. Don't wait.

Whats the best advice for a high school freshman?
like what not to do and what to do. Or things you wish you knew about or should have done or advice you wish you had had.Whats the best advice for a high school freshman?
i wish i had known not to mess with the upperclassmen. just leave them alone. dont act like your the best thing that hit the planetWhats the best advice for a high school freshman?
Do NOT fall behind on your work because once you do, it will be difficult to catch up with credits.
have fun but never forget your studies. I think High school is one of the best phases in life, you will definitely meet your lifelong friends there :)
Watch your back......The seniors may be out to get you!
Try to maintain good averages in your freshman classes so your GPA would look good and don't slack off
know who your friends are. a lot of people's real personalities come out then. i lost a lot of friends but i realized who my true friends were. just keep your head up and trust your instincts
oh, and don't do drugs or drink =)
DON'T take high school seriously.
DON'T assume your life is going to be like a teenage movie.
DO try to get involved in things like at least one club.
freshman year is the easiest grade wise so do well and boost your GPA up then and don't mess with the older kids, but don't be afraid of them either, they are just kids, have fun, don't take anyone too seriously, choose your friends wisely and hang around the ppl that make you happy high schools not supposed ot be miserable its supposed to be educational and a great way to form long time friendships
Be yourself.Don't have sex unless you know you are in love.
If you fall behind you can make up the credits later but it ruins your GPA so I suggest you don't, but you should also get to know your way around the place as soon as you can. Don't think that much about things, like if you go into the Senior area they will throw you in a cupboard, 'cause that most likely wouldn't happen. Make sure you know who is there for you and don't let people get you down by saying stuff about you (rumor wise), just keep being yourself and try to have fun.
Freshmen are the enemies, Sophomores are just there, Juniors are the allies, and Seniors are the oldest so there special.
A Senior I know had said something along the lines of this to me and her younger sister but I don't remember if that was the same thing she had said or not, but if you can't tell she was a Senior in high school that year.
DO NOT JUDGE ANYBODY IF YOU DONT KNOW THEM!!. SERIOUSLY! lemme tell you a story. there was this kid gustavo. he looked like a herb to me, and me and my friend would always grill him. one day, me and my friend was suppose to chill wit dis gurl but she ditched us for him. so we confronted her in front of him and we just stared him down. the next day, this dude shows up with 3 of his friends and they had a gun. they kept staring at us. then some 3 gurls that were with gustavo and his frends jumped this gurl dat we used to chill wit. when one of my frends tryed to stop it, the kid pulled the gun out and sed, wachu gonna do?!then security came and they ran. so now i gotta watch my back everytime i see that lil *****, simply cuz we thought he was a pussi before we really knew who he was.
Don't slack off grade-wise. Do your best, because if you don't do good, it will come back to haunt you once you are a senior applying for colleges.
buy heaps of condoms. nice pic
A swirly is not a ice cream desert
stay on track. u only have probably six chances to make up for 4 years
seniors juniors sophomores are gonna say freshmen suck mostly in pep rally's
i wish...throught out all my 4 years...i wish i hadnt have been so shy..that turned al lot of people away, not wanting to talk to me...and i wish i would have been more sponanious in high school, but in a good way!...and i wish that guy hadnt have likes me a told his friends stuff! i wonder how things would have been different for me
Instant runoff voting (IRV) guarantees a majority in ONE election. Middle and high school elections would have all presidents, vice presidents, treasurers, and secretaries elected by majority in one election with IRV. IRV allows students at MIT, Harvard, Stanford and other top universities to rank their choices. By ranking your ballot it becomes a proxy for a series of runoffs, but the students do not come back, again and again.
The easiest way for us to get IRV is to help your school to adopt it for your class elections. Our legislature will propose instant runoff voting when a majority of our high school students use IRV for class elections.
You have more power in high school to change Presidential elections than your teachers and parents who are registered to vote!
i wish i had known not to mess with the upperclassmen. just leave them alone. dont act like your the best thing that hit the planetWhats the best advice for a high school freshman?
Do NOT fall behind on your work because once you do, it will be difficult to catch up with credits.
have fun but never forget your studies. I think High school is one of the best phases in life, you will definitely meet your lifelong friends there :)
Watch your back......The seniors may be out to get you!
Try to maintain good averages in your freshman classes so your GPA would look good and don't slack off
know who your friends are. a lot of people's real personalities come out then. i lost a lot of friends but i realized who my true friends were. just keep your head up and trust your instincts
oh, and don't do drugs or drink =)
DON'T take high school seriously.
DON'T assume your life is going to be like a teenage movie.
DO try to get involved in things like at least one club.
freshman year is the easiest grade wise so do well and boost your GPA up then and don't mess with the older kids, but don't be afraid of them either, they are just kids, have fun, don't take anyone too seriously, choose your friends wisely and hang around the ppl that make you happy high schools not supposed ot be miserable its supposed to be educational and a great way to form long time friendships
Be yourself.Don't have sex unless you know you are in love.
If you fall behind you can make up the credits later but it ruins your GPA so I suggest you don't, but you should also get to know your way around the place as soon as you can. Don't think that much about things, like if you go into the Senior area they will throw you in a cupboard, 'cause that most likely wouldn't happen. Make sure you know who is there for you and don't let people get you down by saying stuff about you (rumor wise), just keep being yourself and try to have fun.
Freshmen are the enemies, Sophomores are just there, Juniors are the allies, and Seniors are the oldest so there special.
A Senior I know had said something along the lines of this to me and her younger sister but I don't remember if that was the same thing she had said or not, but if you can't tell she was a Senior in high school that year.
DO NOT JUDGE ANYBODY IF YOU DONT KNOW THEM!!. SERIOUSLY! lemme tell you a story. there was this kid gustavo. he looked like a herb to me, and me and my friend would always grill him. one day, me and my friend was suppose to chill wit dis gurl but she ditched us for him. so we confronted her in front of him and we just stared him down. the next day, this dude shows up with 3 of his friends and they had a gun. they kept staring at us. then some 3 gurls that were with gustavo and his frends jumped this gurl dat we used to chill wit. when one of my frends tryed to stop it, the kid pulled the gun out and sed, wachu gonna do?!then security came and they ran. so now i gotta watch my back everytime i see that lil *****, simply cuz we thought he was a pussi before we really knew who he was.
Don't slack off grade-wise. Do your best, because if you don't do good, it will come back to haunt you once you are a senior applying for colleges.
buy heaps of condoms. nice pic
A swirly is not a ice cream desert
stay on track. u only have probably six chances to make up for 4 years
seniors juniors sophomores are gonna say freshmen suck mostly in pep rally's
i wish...throught out all my 4 years...i wish i hadnt have been so shy..that turned al lot of people away, not wanting to talk to me...and i wish i would have been more sponanious in high school, but in a good way!...and i wish that guy hadnt have likes me a told his friends stuff! i wonder how things would have been different for me

What is the best advice you have ever received?
My old history teacher told my class before we left that we are more likely to regret the things we don't do, than the things we did.
That is honestly the best piece of advice i've received, and it's so true. The things i regret are almost all (about 99%) things I didn't do.What is the best advice you have ever received?
Don't ';always'; try to be the one to finish first, sometimes it is the one who takes life in stride that realizes the true meaning of it.What is the best advice you have ever received?
';The world is fuc*** up, I know, but that doesn't mean you have to be sad about it all the time and ignore life. You have to accept it, and move on.';
The secret to living is giving.
';You've been brave enough for one day.'; Quote from Reservoir Dogs for dealing with hard times.
Always be true to yourself,you're responsible for your own happiness.You only live once as you are,so make it count.
When I graduated H.S. my favorite teacher gave me a glass ruler with this saying etched on it...
';Follow your conscience every inch of the way';
There are two rules for success in life:
1. Never tell everything you know
2.
aLWAYS WEAR CLEAN UNDERWEAR IN CASE YOU'RE IN AN ACCIDENT
Do not be afraid to fail.
J-Jesus first
O- Others Second
Y- Yourself Last
Then you will be successful
Don't burn your bridges...
Don't poop your pants!

Has anyone ever tried Open Office 2007 on their laptop? 10 points for best advice.?
I was going to purchase Microsoft Office Home and Student for my laptop, as it doesn't have it already. I've seen similar software called ';Open Office 2007'; which is much cheaper and claims to do the same job. Does anyone know if this software is reliable? Would I just be purchasing Microsoft for the brand name?Has anyone ever tried Open Office 2007 on their laptop? 10 points for best advice.?
Open Office is actually free. I use Open Office on 4 computers right now. Its great!
You can get it here:
http://download.openoffice.org/Has anyone ever tried Open Office 2007 on their laptop? 10 points for best advice.?
The latest version of OpenOffice is 3.0 I believe, compatible with , but not comparable to, Microsoft Office 2007. Whereas Microsoft has the new ribbon interface and has lost the conventional toolbars save for Publisher and OneNote, OpenOffice still retains the toolbar area. However, though compatible and the programs are not bad if you don't use the programs beyond basic level and expect to use all Microsoft shortcuts. However it falls down very badly with the so called publishing - Impress, package. If you are used to using Microsoft, then you will be disappointed, but if you don't use any of the programs to advanced or indepth levels, then it will be OK.
Hello,
I have used Open Office for about two years now, and have been very happy with it's features. I can also download templates off the Open Office website. I really like being able to export my documents as Acrobat Reader files (pdf format) without any other piece of software or addon.
But you can read what one CNET Editor's review is @ http://download.cnet.com/OpenOffice-org/鈥?/a>
%26lt;clip%26gt;
A credible rival to MS Office, OpenOffice.org includes powerful applications for making text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, diagrams, and databases, as well as HTML and XML documents. Not only does it let you edit basic documents, such as letters and faxes, it also handles equations and complex and multipart documents with bibliographies, reference tables, and indexes.
%26lt;/clip%26gt;
What is the lowest legally priced Microsoft Office Suite price..?
Open Office for free @ http://www.openoffice.org/
Its excellent I use it all the time its free and does as much as MS Office.
It was previously called Star Office from SUN Microsystems one of the worlds biggest software companies.
I got
OOo
Office for mac
iwork
on my apples and take it from me, there's no need to pay if you don't want to OOorg is as good as any.

I need advice-what is the best way to make friends!?
I moved from the Midwest to the east coast last year. And I am really having trouble making friends. I am very outgoing, funny and nice-in fact I have never had trouble making friends before. I am not sure if people are colder over here. But I talk to girls at work but they exclude me from all there activities together. It is starting to get frustrating. What is the best way to make new friends?I need advice-what is the best way to make friends!?
Offer to help them with whatever activities they might be organizing or you can come up with a type of get together and be the host. Invite them and see how they respond. Bring them all an inexpensive treat to work. Make yourself more visible and reach out more.I need advice-what is the best way to make friends!?

What do I do? I need some advice, I am engaged but am very attracted to my girlfriends best friend. ?
She is extremely good looking and smart and I think she knows that I'm attracted to her. Me and my fiance have been having some problems and I';m not for sure if I want to go through a marriage right now. I need advice please. What do I do? I need some advice, I am engaged but am very attracted to my girlfriends best friend. ?
You are not ready to be engaged because there are a trillion attractive girls just like that one who will even flirt with you from time to time. Break it off tell her you are not ready and come visit NYC.What do I do? I need some advice, I am engaged but am very attracted to my girlfriends best friend. ?
do you really need to be asking someone else for advice. If you are having doubts now then do both of you a favor and GET OUT! Marraige will only make things worse for you think of your feelings now x10. You shouldn't have feelings for another girl especially at this point in your relationship. You are obviously not in love so be honest with yourself and her. Also, think about the fact that this is your girlfriends best friend. If she is really a friend than she most likely will think you are a creep for even trying so find someone else to hook up with if you break it off!
It sounds like you are not ready to get married and that you probably are not meant to be with your girlfriend. One would hope that your girlfriend is the most beautiful girl you've ever met and that you feel lucky that she's marrying you. It sure doesn't sound that way to me. The grass is always greener on the other side so I wouldn't settle down until you aren't tempted by other women. I'd be mad if I was your girlfriend -- I bet SHE knows you're attracted to her girlfriend too. Not good......
dotn get married yet, obviously if you are thinkign about other women, especially her best friend, this will create problems, and can lead to affairs in the future . im in gr. 9 and even i know thta i couldnt go through a mirriage with a guy with this problem . think of how your girlfriend must feel, i mean dyou honestly think that it would be okay to get married with this problem ? try andd get over it, because marriage is a huge deal, and ask yourself if you really think you can see yourself with her bestfriend instead of her .. think about that . try going to a counsellor or something, to help get over this other chick .
Well if you're engaged...then it's actually your fiances best friend. That's besides the point though.
Ask yourself a few basic questions. Do you love your g/f? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with her? Why did you ask her to marry you in the first place? Do you really want to lose her?
Also, thought I'd mention...attraction to anther woman...is normal. But you shouldn't confuse attraction with lust, or love. You must KNOW who you love, and the commitment you have made to that person. If you're not ready for that, then you should sit down with your g/f and have a talk.
step back a bit and give the engagement a break. get to know this new girl a bit and see if you are even compatable. i know i was engaged and had a longtime crush on a guy and it was mutual and i regret not giving him a chance since the engagement didnt work out and by that time he was already seeing someone he eventually married.
well if its ur gfs bff shes prolly not goin to date you.. because its an unwritten law... also.. how can u be engaged to someone your not completely and fully in love with?.. i would say that as bad as this is.. ur going to have to take a break and think about the wedding.. just some inner conflicts with yourself.. nothing she did.. etc.. and maybe give it a week just to calm down.. even talk to her friend then and be like. im just not sure etc.. and see what her bff has to say about it.. then if she starts saying that you and ur fiance are meant.. she doesnt like you.. if she starts saying .. well idk.. maybe u need to think on it.. she likes you..
please help me with mine please please pleaseeeeee
I think the best thing that you should do is tell your fiance the truth, that way there wont be any confusion and mistrust between you two.As far as the other woman goes,think about if its really worth ruining their friendship or not and the lingering feelings of anger and jealousy between the two friends.
You need to take some time away from your fiance and from the other girl and think about what you really want...you're probably just getting cold feet cuz you're having issues with your fiance and are looking for reassurance else where...just take a few days to think about it all and don't say anything to either of the girls...just think about what you really want...
Hi..u r going to marry veri soon,ask yrself if u don't love yr fiance y u ask her 4 marry? i think u n yr fiance hv been thru' alot den both of u will come to tis status...a wife n a girlfriend r veri diff,a wife can help u pull thru' alot of thing that is bad.a girlfriend can't reali do much 4 u..think back. u say u r veri attracted to her rite? ask yrself hw long can it last? in tis world no matter hw much u love each other or wifout him/her will die,NO. every couple hv problem,is d matter hw u both face it n slove it nt avoiding it..Don't do thing u might regret B4 u do anything think twice.
I would talk to your fiance! its important you talk to each other because if you start out bad it will end bad. don't waist your life with someone that makes you unhappy! you should talk to your fiance before the wedding and before you start a family. Also talk to the person you like. know where shes coming from then you can prioritize.
hope this helps good luck, remember to always follow your heart %26lt;3
you and your fiance are engaged for a reason. there is obviously something there. your getting cold feet and think its cuz ur attracted to her pretty friend. you need to focus on ur woman, you cant do that to your relationship, or ur girlfriends and her best friends.
If you don't feel you are positive you want to go through with your marriage, don't. You should be completely in love and devoted to the person you are marrying. Talk with your fiance too. If she loves you, she will wait.
couples counseling would probably be a good investment, I'm thinking. presonally i'd say it just looks like you're getting cold feet. don't do anything you'll regret.
you should only get married if you feel like she is the love of your life and you want to be with her forever. no questions asked.
i dont think people on yahooo can help you out on this one...its sort of a personall issue that you need to figure out
SEE WHAT I MEAN%26gt;%26gt;DID THEY HELP YOU NOOOOOOO
Baby you will ALWAYS be attracted to other woman . Get use to it. You dont end it with who you are with if you love them.
mmm before you hurt yourself and your fiance get out of the relationship..seems like you didn't relize what love is untill you met your fiance friend...lol wish you good luck..
take your time and think carefully.
Don't get married unless you know you are in complete love.
if your not all for the marriage, dont do itroc bloom-

I am willing to visit munich in july pls advice me the best places to visit, the best shopping area with good?
prices, what to do in weekends, and the best store for toys and children gamesI am willing to visit munich in july pls advice me the best places to visit, the best shopping area with good?
Munich is a fine place! I really recommend getting Rick Steve's book which will help you around and even give you tours. Here's what I would recommend, but should also be in the book:
Deutsche Museum (give yourself a couple days--well worth the trip)
Visit the Olympic stadium and view the city from the radio tower
Walk the Englischergarten and grab a bier in the biergarten
Walk the Marienplatz and see the Frauenkirche and Glockundspiel.
Just behind the S-bahn and the Glokundspeil is St. Peters church. Climb the spire and you'll get some amazing pictures of the Frauenkirche, Glockundspiel, and Rathaus. On a really clear day you can see the alps in the South.
Just on the edge of the Marienplatz, there's a lot of tents with knick knacks, and also a really neat biergarten, that sells weißwurst (white sausage).
Check out Jodelwirt (small yodeling pub--really fun and with locals). One guy plays the accordian and sings/yodels and everyone usually claps and sings along. warning, though--It can be very smoky!
Take a commuter train to Dachau, one of the concentration camps. It's sad, but very informative and moving.
Take a commuter train to Andechs monestary for some amazing beer and a really nice nature walk.
Take a commuter train to Nuremburg or Rothenberg, which are really old but near towns to see.
Salzburg Austria isn't too far away, but gives yourself an overnight stay there as there's plenty of shopping and if you're into it, a Sound of Music tour is really nice!
You also don't need to rent a car. Everything is just a short walk to a train station (Bahnhof) or main train station (Hauptbahnhof) and parking is a lot of trouble. Trains are always so clean and timely. Word from experience, keep your feet off the seat across from you unless you want some German to yell at you. It's just part of their customs.
There's a mall right off the Marienplatz that has German toys, but I forget the name of it. It has everything German, including toys and children games.
Macht viel Spaß!! Prost!!!
BSOD
P.S. When you need a break from bier, the Volvic Apple water is my favorite flavored water, which you can't get it in the states :-(I am willing to visit munich in july pls advice me the best places to visit, the best shopping area with good?
Munich is a friendly place with people that seem to party all year round. I visited Deutsches Musuem - world largest Technology museum. English Garden, Olympic stadium... nice! My blog on Munich -%26gt; http://travelerfolio.com/places/europe/g…

Trains are always so clean and timely. Word from experience, keep your feet off the seat across from you unless you want some German to yell at you. It's just part of their customs.
There's a mall right off the Marienplatz that has German toys, but I forget the name of it. It has everything German, including toys and children games.
Macht viel Spaß!! Prost!!!

Are there sites that i can take advantage of to learn new techniques of graphic design.I want to a graphic design artist. Which applications do u advice me to practice to be the best in dis field?
If you want to be a graphic designer, first you should have a computer with a graphic design programs like Adobe Photoshop or CorelDraw installed. You can start by trying out some basic tutorials.
You can check some tutorials here: www.pixel2life.com or you can google it.
Get to know the tools and look for inspirations online or ask those who are in the business.I want to a graphic design artist. Which applications do u advice me to practice to be the best in dis field?
The field is VERY competitive. At a minimum you should know and Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign plus whatever you can pick up about typography and color separations.
In addition, with the amount of practice you will need to start making a living at it, you will need 24/7 access to all those packages, at least. I therefore recommend taking courses. Community Colleges and Continuing Education courses are not TOO expensive, and with the right school you will be eligible for Adobe's educational discount which can cut the price for the above drastically from -- up to a thousand dollars or more for the professional work.
Buy Adobe Photoshop.

What's your best advice for a new relationship?
Neither of us has dated seriously in a long time (a year or more.) We're mature, financially stable and have our own lives going. Never married/no kids. What's the best advice you can give me? I really want this one to work.What's your best advice for a new relationship?
Read ';the Rules';What's your best advice for a new relationship?
****************************************鈥?br>
Enjoy the sparks, and enjoy each and every single moment.
Life is too short
Don't let it last too long. Don't expect too much.
Just continue to treat each other with love and respect and don't pass judgment on each other. So far this has worked for me. And just spend as much quality time together as you can. But do remember that we all need our space sometimes.
Good Luck to you both!
Go slow and have fun.
Try to do something he likes then he should do something you like
Most important test the communication lines and get to know each other as friends first before sex.
Just do what feels right. Try not to second-guess yourself too much. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.
you did not say how old you are,
so if in low 20's,, take your time, go on some adventures,, keep your friends, spend time with them, dont spend all your time with each other, you will get sick of each other, it is human nature,
Communicate and never lose who you are. Always take time out to appreciate each other.
Make sure your both going the same speed.
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.... leave the rest to God.
Amen Sunflower. Don't stress the little things, and be willing to give the relationship your all.
Being that you both don't need each other, make it a want each other. To me that's the best way to be in love, always wanting the other person.
Go slowly, be realistic in your expectations. Give yourselves time to get to know each other before getting in too deep.
WORK AT IT... ALL OF THE TIME..
Be friends first, don't let outer appearances fool you, look deep inside the person, look for the qualities and the character of a person on the inside, just because someone may look nice on the outside, they may be rotten on the inside, and don't be so quick to have sex, anything worth having is worth waiting for, after two or three dates sex enters the picture, and then you fall in love, and the other person isn't as into you as you thought. So again don't be so quick to want to hop in the sack, if a person really cares for you they will see that there is more to you than just sex. Let the person know what you expect, that way there will be no surprises later
Communicate Communicate Communicate!
Even if it seems silly or unimportant, it must be important to an extent if you're thinking about it.
Like others have said, communicate. Be honest and open. If you don't want to go out because you are tired or your favorite TV show is on then tell him so. Don't make up some excuse that he won't believe. If he asks you a question that you don't want to answer don't make up something. Tell him that you are not ready to answer that yet. It's also important to make sure he knows that you want to be with him.
Be best friends.
Make time for each other
Have common activities
MEET each others emotional needs!!
Each of you Take some SERIOUS time to understand how the opposite sex works Emotionally. --- Like what do men want, and what do women want. If you both understand this it will solve most marriage problems down the road.
Don't just read about these things. Make them part of your lives.

When I first came to Y!A, I was doubting my Christian faith, so I went to the Religion %26amp; Spirituality section to challenge my beliefs. I think the climatic point of my spiritual journey was when I asked a question, ';How do we, Christians, justify condemnation of atheists?'; The best answer I received was entirely unexpected and shocking. It ended with these words:
';God will be just in His judgments. In this I have faith.';
-Schneb
Those must be the wisest words I've ever heard anyone say here on Y!A. He taught me that as long as we know that God is a loving God, everything else will fall into place, so we don't need to worry about it. God has it all covered.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... thats a tough one too answer because most of the advice given to me.. ive followed them all and they all helped.. i need a couple days to think about this one..

:-D
Is my dad a typical chinese dad? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you
My dad always compares me to his friends' children. I am 23 years old and have Master's degree (I earned my Master's at age 22). He helped me pay for my undergrad degree. I got a scholarship for my grad degree. I earned both degree in the US. I always appreciate his kindness to spend tons of money for my education.
I am a recent graduate and now seeking for a career. Since I have Master's degree and bilingual, my dad expects me to make 3X more than other people my age. He said, his friend child makes $$$ and she does not even have Master's degree.
It hurt to be under so much pressure. Of course, I don't want to let my dad down. Of course, I want to get a good job and make decent income.
***
Please reply in English. My dad is a chinese immigrant to Thailand. I don't know Chinese. I speak Thai and English. Thank youIs my dad a typical chinese dad? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you
Yes you father does sound like a typical Chinese dad. I heard that Korean parents always liked to compare there kids..
However having a master's degree does not mean you will earn 3 x as much money as other people your age. If does require some luck to get a good job. You may earn 3x as much as the average non-educated person on the street.
Even so your wage will depend on what your masters degree is, a master in English is not likely to earn you as much as a masters in business.
楝煎.... Ouch I'm really sorry that happen to you.....
Is my dad a typical chinese dad? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you
yeah,it sounds like your father a typical chinese dad.
same thing happened to me.after i graduated,i'm under huge pressure for a decent job.he always compares me to other kids.i know he spends tons of money on me but i really work hard and try to find a good job and don't expect to let him down.so we have bad relationship,we nearly have little time to talk with eath other
maybe we should have a conversation and let him know what i'm feelings .
no, he doesn't act like that because he's a ';typical'; chinese dad. it's just his personality. dad of any race could be like this. you don't have to find an excuse for you dad. just admit that is the way he is.
you don't have to feel obligated to fulfill his dream because he paid for your education. i wouldn't let other people (not even my parents) to alter my life. do whatever you want to do.
Typical chinese...hmm. I'm actually not sure. Probably a mixture of strong, traditional Chinese beliefs mixed with his personality and a good helping of over-protectiveness. Don't worry, remember to do what you want to do... don't loose yourself to your father's dream. Money isn't anything.
lol yea very typical
its all bout money with chinese ppl. i know cuz my dads chinese too and like ur dad and i live in the US too
i mean jst try ur best and dont give a care bout wat he says. ur 23 already. u make ur own choices
jst try ur best and try not to rely on his money.
but i hate it when my dads like ';go be doctor and make 300000 a year.
Your dad is a typical old fashion father. He wants his son to be better than others so he compares his friend's children to his own.
The offspring especially the male needs to make the father proud. That's the way it is for the tranditional chinese
of course its normal. Most asian parents are like that. Just chill. Just do the best you can and be proud of what you have done.
It sounds typical although he could be more extreme than others. The important thing is that you are legally an adult. Make sure that he does not run your life. By no means am I advocating not honoring your parents. But you have to live your own life.
Am i allowed to answer this? lol I have several chinese friends whose dad's are similar but none are 23 yet, my guess is yes but I'm sure you'll do fine even if you don't make 3x more than everyone else hope this helps...
Yes, he's a very very typical Chinese dad.
yeah , he is a typical Chinese . All Chinese are just obsessed with money . They don't think anything except money . heheh... Tell him to take some chill pill ..lolz
No, It's not typical Chinese
Your dad is typical chinese father. There are many reasons why chinese parents have such high expectation for their kids:
* Chinese tend to compare their lives with the people that they know. There kids is one important factor in comparison.
* Chinese parents spend on a lot of money and time on children, especially for education. They don't want these efforts wasted, thus they look for results.
* By many people, wealthiness is one of the most important metric, if not the most one, in judging how ';successful'; an individual is.
* In history, most Chinese take full care of their parents, because of the lack of social security and retirement system. With the income of many city residents increasing and the modernization, the situation might be changed a bit for some people, but overall it will be the same, at least for several more decades.
Therefore, parents want their Children to be ';better'; than other people's, because that reflects how much they would be take care of when they are old.
Yes, he's very Chinese, I have a same dad, we used to have a very close relationship before I entered elementary school, but after that he got strict with me, pushed me to extreme, if my grades dropped under 80, I didn't even dare go home feared my butt would be whipped , I begged my mom to divorce him, hoarded sleeping pills, slit my wrist, they didn't work.
Finally I accepted that I couldn't prevent him, I rarely talked with him after that sliting wrist incident, that was 1997, I was 14, I found that the best way to keep me safe is to avoid him as possible as I can. our relationship dropped to ice cold. I don't want to mention what he did before the National college entrance examination.
After I entered a top 10 University of China, he seemed to be a little nicer, I never worried about money issue coz he took care all of it, but I think our relationship is already ruined, and I want to leave here, never wanna see him again.
EDIT: Aileen I heard you, my dad already checked what kind of guy I was dating, he doesn't know I'm dating a divorced German guy, otherwise he'll be insane~~~every time a male calls in, he asked who that guy in the other end was, OK I'm going to Shanghai, I can date 10 guys at the same time without informing him
Yes, he is a typical old fashioned Chinese Dad.
Before I went to Tokyo, I didn't see or talk to my dad for 2 years, so in total we didn't meet each other for about 6 years. My mom supported me in those days, certainly with his permission. It was he picked on me too much that I couldn't get along with him. I didn't like my dad but then I forgave him. I know he loves me just he doesn't know how to express it.
We are fine now, my work keeps me busy all the time + we both are aging, ... lol, however, I never earned more money than my parents, they know it but they have another expectation that I cannot fulfill at the moment. They envy some others' daughters who married good guys and have nice kids. I'm also under pressure but I just ignore it.
After you have found a nice job, I guess, your father would start to check what kind of guys you would be dating and he may set up some guidelines for you.
Your dad is proud of you, that's why he has high expectation about how much you would earn.
Edit to Tamahome :
Yes, when come to dating matters, my dad is annoying too. I never let him know! sh~~~~~~~.... meow!
Your dad sound very Chinese. Perhaps you should tell us what your degree is in then we can tell you if you'll get 3 times as much money as other 23 year olds. All Chinese are obsessed with money.
Pressure like this is what causes many young Chinese to commit suicide. He probably doesn't realize the amount of pressure you feel.
I have seen the best method of dealing with such disparity is to have a close family friend intervene and discuss the issue with the concerned parent. This is also very Chinese just like matchmaking.
Speaking Thai and English will get you work with any Chinese or Thai trade company that does business with the USA. It will also get you an interview with the Thai Embassy in the USA.
I am a recent graduate and now seeking for a career. Since I have Master's degree and bilingual, my dad expects me to make 3X more than other people my age. He said, his friend child makes $$$ and she does not even have Master's degree.
It hurt to be under so much pressure. Of course, I don't want to let my dad down. Of course, I want to get a good job and make decent income.

However having a master's degree does not mean you will earn 3 x as much money as other people your age. If does require some luck to get a good job. You may earn 3x as much as the average non-educated person on the street.
Even so your wage will depend on what your masters degree is, a master in English is not likely to earn you as much as a masters in business.
楝煎.... Ouch I'm really sorry that happen to you.....
Is my dad a typical chinese dad? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you
yeah,it sounds like your father a typical chinese dad.
same thing happened to me.after i graduated,i'm under huge pressure for a decent job.he always compares me to other kids.i know he spends tons of money on me but i really work hard and try to find a good job and don't expect to let him down.so we have bad relationship,we nearly have little time to talk with eath other
maybe we should have a conversation and let him know what i'm feelings .
no, he doesn't act like that because he's a ';typical'; chinese dad. it's just his personality. dad of any race could be like this. you don't have to find an excuse for you dad. just admit that is the way he is.
you don't have to feel obligated to fulfill his dream because he paid for your education. i wouldn't let other people (not even my parents) to alter my life. do whatever you want to do.
Typical chinese...hmm. I'm actually not sure. Probably a mixture of strong, traditional Chinese beliefs mixed with his personality and a good helping of over-protectiveness. Don't worry, remember to do what you want to do... don't loose yourself to your father's dream. Money isn't anything.
lol yea very typical
its all bout money with chinese ppl. i know cuz my dads chinese too and like ur dad and i live in the US too
i mean jst try ur best and dont give a care bout wat he says. ur 23 already. u make ur own choices
jst try ur best and try not to rely on his money.
but i hate it when my dads like ';go be doctor and make 300000 a year.
Your dad is a typical old fashion father. He wants his son to be better than others so he compares his friend's children to his own.
The offspring especially the male needs to make the father proud. That's the way it is for the tranditional chinese
of course its normal. Most asian parents are like that. Just chill. Just do the best you can and be proud of what you have done.
It sounds typical although he could be more extreme than others. The important thing is that you are legally an adult. Make sure that he does not run your life. By no means am I advocating not honoring your parents. But you have to live your own life.
Am i allowed to answer this? lol I have several chinese friends whose dad's are similar but none are 23 yet, my guess is yes but I'm sure you'll do fine even if you don't make 3x more than everyone else hope this helps...
Yes, he's a very very typical Chinese dad.
yeah , he is a typical Chinese . All Chinese are just obsessed with money . They don't think anything except money . heheh... Tell him to take some chill pill ..lolz
No, It's not typical Chinese
Your dad is typical chinese father. There are many reasons why chinese parents have such high expectation for their kids:
* Chinese tend to compare their lives with the people that they know. There kids is one important factor in comparison.
* Chinese parents spend on a lot of money and time on children, especially for education. They don't want these efforts wasted, thus they look for results.
* By many people, wealthiness is one of the most important metric, if not the most one, in judging how ';successful'; an individual is.
* In history, most Chinese take full care of their parents, because of the lack of social security and retirement system. With the income of many city residents increasing and the modernization, the situation might be changed a bit for some people, but overall it will be the same, at least for several more decades.
Therefore, parents want their Children to be ';better'; than other people's, because that reflects how much they would be take care of when they are old.
Yes, he's very Chinese, I have a same dad, we used to have a very close relationship before I entered elementary school, but after that he got strict with me, pushed me to extreme, if my grades dropped under 80, I didn't even dare go home feared my butt would be whipped , I begged my mom to divorce him, hoarded sleeping pills, slit my wrist, they didn't work.
Finally I accepted that I couldn't prevent him, I rarely talked with him after that sliting wrist incident, that was 1997, I was 14, I found that the best way to keep me safe is to avoid him as possible as I can. our relationship dropped to ice cold. I don't want to mention what he did before the National college entrance examination.
After I entered a top 10 University of China, he seemed to be a little nicer, I never worried about money issue coz he took care all of it, but I think our relationship is already ruined, and I want to leave here, never wanna see him again.
EDIT: Aileen I heard you, my dad already checked what kind of guy I was dating, he doesn't know I'm dating a divorced German guy, otherwise he'll be insane~~~every time a male calls in, he asked who that guy in the other end was, OK I'm going to Shanghai, I can date 10 guys at the same time without informing him
Yes, he is a typical old fashioned Chinese Dad.
Before I went to Tokyo, I didn't see or talk to my dad for 2 years, so in total we didn't meet each other for about 6 years. My mom supported me in those days, certainly with his permission. It was he picked on me too much that I couldn't get along with him. I didn't like my dad but then I forgave him. I know he loves me just he doesn't know how to express it.
We are fine now, my work keeps me busy all the time + we both are aging, ... lol, however, I never earned more money than my parents, they know it but they have another expectation that I cannot fulfill at the moment. They envy some others' daughters who married good guys and have nice kids. I'm also under pressure but I just ignore it.
After you have found a nice job, I guess, your father would start to check what kind of guys you would be dating and he may set up some guidelines for you.
Your dad is proud of you, that's why he has high expectation about how much you would earn.
Edit to Tamahome :
Yes, when come to dating matters, my dad is annoying too. I never let him know! sh~~~~~~~.... meow!
Your dad sound very Chinese. Perhaps you should tell us what your degree is in then we can tell you if you'll get 3 times as much money as other 23 year olds. All Chinese are obsessed with money.
Pressure like this is what causes many young Chinese to commit suicide. He probably doesn't realize the amount of pressure you feel.
I have seen the best method of dealing with such disparity is to have a close family friend intervene and discuss the issue with the concerned parent. This is also very Chinese just like matchmaking.
Speaking Thai and English will get you work with any Chinese or Thai trade company that does business with the USA. It will also get you an interview with the Thai Embassy in the USA.
What is the best advice someone gave you?what is the worst?
Knowledge is never to heavy to carry. (Compared to carrying your knowledge in books, heavy to bring with you at all time.) And, you are never to old to learn. That you have finished school doesn't mean that there is nothing more to learn in this world.
The worst is hard to remember since I most often discard them since they are useless. To never mix with people that are ';lesser'; than you are has to be one of them. To think that you are superior and better than some people and that what you think about yourself gives you the right to treat others poorly or ignore them.What is the best advice someone gave you?what is the worst?
the best advice that was given to me was calling other people (women friends) to talk to, other than my chinese female friend whenever she's busy and can't come to the phone to talk to me. nothing worse.

I never preheated the oven when I cooked pizza or something. So I ate a lot of pizzas with crispy outsides and soft insides.
Study hard. Didn't do it then and finding difficult to do it now.
Don't join the military.

Are you trying to make me feel guilty?

No sex before marriage.
finish your degree while we are paying for it(my parents)...cost me a lot, when education got expensive later, lol
Sorry to be a wet blanket but everything I've done got me here and to say I am glad about how my life is going is a gross understatement.
I believe all things have a purpose and I regret nothing.
When a mere child, I appropriated a canvas bank-bag of Morgan Silver dollars, about 25-35 pounds of them.
Kid at school: ';Go ahead and spend them. You can always get some more!';
I wasn't always endowed with Demonic intelligence.
don't marry him. He'll destroy you.
I told a friend ';Don't go out with that guy because he's a sh*t';. Then a couple months later I did the one thing that I asked her not to do. And, of course, he turned out to be a sh*t. Stupid me.
I wish I had served God sooner.

What's the best advice you've ever been given? Regarding...?
Faith.What's the best advice you've ever been given? Regarding...?
If you believe something to be true, whether it is or it isn't is faith. I can believe I am a king, for me It will be the truth. Belief in your mind makes it a truth for you. That is faith. Faith can be a self deception, but it can also be a source of self empowerment. If you believe you can do something, that belief will tend to empower you to the accomplishment of it. Faith is positive thinking. Anyone who has faith in negative things, is empowering the negative things to happen. A negative faith is self defeating. Having faith that God will be with you whatever you decide, is empowering to help to to avoid being indecisive. You have the power, faith is what you must have to use it.What's the best advice you've ever been given? Regarding...?
It is okay if your house is not perfectly clean... it is more important to spend quality time with your children. It is hard to follow sometimes, but I sleep better at night when I know I did something special with my kids, even if the kitchen sink is dirty.
Philosophy is about life, faith is about living it.
You can't give what you don't have. Stay true to your Faith!
Finish what you have in your plate.

for snack try some nuts and seeds, or make your own trail mix
Easy Chile Rellanos:
Ingredients:
2 large anaheim or poblano peppers (about .4 lbs total)
1/2 cup reduced-fat mexican cheese
1 Tb liquid egg whites
1 Tb cornmeal (optional)
1/4 cup enchilada sauce (1/4 of a 10-oz can)
Directions:
Note: Double or triple this recipe to make enough for your whole family!
Rinse the peppers. Preheat your oven to broil. Place the peppers on foil or in a flame-proof baking dish (not glass!) and place on the top shelf of your oven. Watch and listen closely. You will hear popping sounds and see the skins char and bubble up. When the majority of the skins are bubbled up, take the chiles out and flip them over. Be sure and use a potholder so you don't burn your hands! The more you broil them, the easier they are to peel, so don't be afraid to let them bubble too much! When both sides are fairly evenly charred, remove them from the oven. Wrap each pepper in a moist paper towel or place in a sealed plastic bag to steam.
Reduce oven to 400 degrees.
After a few minutes, check them. Once the skin comes off easily, peel each pepper as best as you can. Cut a slit almost the full length of each chile. Make a small ';T'; across the top, by the stem. Run under cold water and remove seeds and fibers. Stuff 1/8 cup cheese into each pepper.
Whisk egg whites in a small bowl. Dip peppers into the egg, then into the cornmeal, spooning over the top as well. Place peppers in baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or til peppers are tender.
Heat enchilada sauce in microwave or small saucepan. Drizzle over the top of the peppers. Serve hot!
Serve with Mexican rice and refried beans if desired. (Adds more points)

Portabella Pizzas:
Ingredients:

1/4 cup pasta sauce *
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
Garlic (fresh or powder), to taste
Dried basil, to taste
fat-free cooking spray (olive oil flavor is best)
* Points were calculated using Ragu Sundried Tomato and Sweet Basil sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wipe the cap clean of any dirt. Trim mushroom stem even with cap. (Or sometimes you can just pluck the stem right out!)
Place mushroom cap on foil and bake for 5-10 minutes before you proceed with the toppings. Remove from oven. If you find juice on the top of the mushroom cap after you take it out of the oven, just pat it dry with a paper towel.
(If you are using fresh garlic, you can either dice it very small or roast it til soft.)
Spray both sides of the mushroom cap with cooking oil. Place on a baking dish, gill side up. Cover generously with the garlic and sauce, and then top with the cheese and dried basil. Place in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is well melted. Broil for the last minute or two if you want your cheese browned on top. Serve immediately. (Most people prefer to eat this pizza with a knife and fork)

ENJOy!
Boca burgers are great to have on hand (frozen veggie burgers). They are higher in protein than most veggie burgers. You'll find that having a good amount of protein in each meal will prevent you from getting hungry too quickly.
Depending on the flavor of boca burger, they are 1-2 points.I like the boca breakfast sausage too. Again, very low in points.
P.S. Don't forget to include the point values! Thanks!Just joined weight watchers and I am a vegetarian. Looking for advice on what foods are best...?

those cuisine stuff
the best food to eat is steamed veggetables
you can steam all your fav veggs, and eat it with some white rice, you can buy a rice cooker and cook white rice, it's cheap like $20 for a basic one, and $100 for a kickazz one,
with rice maker, now you can make brown rice, wild rice, sticky rice, or make vegg sushi
i don't know point values, but i'm sure you can eat as much rice and vegetables and fruit as you want, dont' listen to people who tell you rice has carbs, it's not true, it's low in carbs and all of it its good carbs
for snack try some nuts and seeds, or make your own trail mix
Easy Chile Rellanos:
Ingredients:
2 large anaheim or poblano peppers (about .4 lbs total)
1/2 cup reduced-fat mexican cheese
1 Tb liquid egg whites
1 Tb cornmeal (optional)
1/4 cup enchilada sauce (1/4 of a 10-oz can)
Directions:
Note: Double or triple this recipe to make enough for your whole family!
Rinse the peppers. Preheat your oven to broil. Place the peppers on foil or in a flame-proof baking dish (not glass!) and place on the top shelf of your oven. Watch and listen closely. You will hear popping sounds and see the skins char and bubble up. When the majority of the skins are bubbled up, take the chiles out and flip them over. Be sure and use a potholder so you don't burn your hands! The more you broil them, the easier they are to peel, so don't be afraid to let them bubble too much! When both sides are fairly evenly charred, remove them from the oven. Wrap each pepper in a moist paper towel or place in a sealed plastic bag to steam.
Reduce oven to 400 degrees.
After a few minutes, check them. Once the skin comes off easily, peel each pepper as best as you can. Cut a slit almost the full length of each chile. Make a small ';T'; across the top, by the stem. Run under cold water and remove seeds and fibers. Stuff 1/8 cup cheese into each pepper.
Whisk egg whites in a small bowl. Dip peppers into the egg, then into the cornmeal, spooning over the top as well. Place peppers in baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or til peppers are tender.
Heat enchilada sauce in microwave or small saucepan. Drizzle over the top of the peppers. Serve hot!
Serve with Mexican rice and refried beans if desired. (Adds more points)
Yields: 1 serving (6 points per serving)

Portabella Pizzas:
Ingredients:
1 large (3-oz) portabella (portobello) mushroom cap
1/4 cup pasta sauce *
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
Garlic (fresh or powder), to taste
Dried basil, to taste
fat-free cooking spray (olive oil flavor is best)
* Points were calculated using Ragu Sundried Tomato and Sweet Basil sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wipe the cap clean of any dirt. Trim mushroom stem even with cap. (Or sometimes you can just pluck the stem right out!)
Place mushroom cap on foil and bake for 5-10 minutes before you proceed with the toppings. Remove from oven. If you find juice on the top of the mushroom cap after you take it out of the oven, just pat it dry with a paper towel.
(If you are using fresh garlic, you can either dice it very small or roast it til soft.)
Spray both sides of the mushroom cap with cooking oil. Place on a baking dish, gill side up. Cover generously with the garlic and sauce, and then top with the cheese and dried basil. Place in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is well melted. Broil for the last minute or two if you want your cheese browned on top. Serve immediately. (Most people prefer to eat this pizza with a knife and fork)
Yields: 1 pizza (3 points per serving)
