How will he ever propose?

whats more important is that you both love each other.. rather than throwing lavish party which will cost you a bomb and cost him his ego (do not underestimate the impact it does, him being financially inferior). i totally against you forking out for all the expenses.. have a small moderate wedding reception for close family and very close friends only.. it is more meaningful than having all the cousins, uncles, aunties and other distance relatives you only met once or twice in your life. let him pay for the party, hence the size would depends on how much he can afford. every body wants fairy tale like wedding ceremony.. but reality bites..

Doesn't the concept of prayer contradict the common Christian explanation of "free will?"?

no the concept of prayer does not contradict free will. What was your name again,, oh that's right, cynic.

Anyone ingested Belladonna root?

Just wondering if anyone has ingested belladonna root as looking for a psychedelic experience? How much did you take? I took about half an ounce and it knocked me out 18 1/2 hrs...comatose 10 1/2 hours. Don't recall a thing of the trip. Also contrary to the info, when you're comatose, you lose body functions. Just wondering if anyone has, how much they took and what they saw.

Any body else sick fed up of these racist B.N.P BIGOTS cluttering up the Great British democracy?

All right everyone should have there say but when it comes to violence and social intolorence does the people off Great Brittaun not have to stand up and remind these opressers what Great Brittain is based on...Tolorence after all if you look back not all of us originated from These Islands. And one more thing they use the Union Jack as a vehicle for there sordid ideas. I am British and very proud of my nation but that does not mean that i have to disrespect or nations, faiths or colours.

What to do when you regret your child's father?

My boyfriend and I were doing just fine before we found out we were pregnant. He has his own house, a steady job, and pets. I know he deeply cares about me and is excited to be a dad, but lately I seem to feel really trapped by him. Not by our kid, but by him. The house used to be his grandparents (who are still alive) and everytime I go to make changes he gets mad and tries to stall the painting or fixing things. This house needs a lot of work... his grandparents just let the house to go pieces and it smells like pet urine badly...and my boyfriend isnt exactly the cleanest person so a lot of dirty stuff doesnt bother him... and he keeps everything.... he has a 1983 paper mcdonalds cup on his fireplace. Not kidding.... and his dogs bark at everyone who comes in thehouse and they are not well trained. He said that this would be our house and our pets, but it seems like I cant ever do anything I want with the house without getting his approval but since its "his house" he can do whatever he wants without asking me...this isnt fair and I feel trapped by it. What to do?

So if the Republicans are whining that their taxes shouldn't go helping the less fortunate, then?

Why the heck are my taxes going to Iraq for? According to Republican logic, aren't the Iraqis lazy for not liberating themselves? Or is it because the less fortunate in America don't have any oil?

I cheated on a test and got caught?

Well, I was about to say that detention was more likely than suspension until I read your additional details. A simple cheat sheet usually doesn't result in suspension, a school-wide conspiracy might. Your midterm is toast, gone, it was once they found you cheating. The fact that it was a "larger cheating scheme" is going to raise doubt on your performance in your other courses and there's a very good chance that you'll find yourself in summer school because they'll most likely fail you in history all together. Cooperation is your best option at this point.
