PEOPLE, what should I do about this situation?!?!?

okay so my close friend and i have been working together for 6 weeks. The first 3 weeks, she and i have been texting everyday, flirting and hanging out and stuff.. i really like her and ive been pretty obvious that i like her.. she has been flirting back and showing some interest as well.. after the first 3 weeks, she breaks up with her BF of 3 years and then stops acting like that towards me as she did in the first 3 weeks. I stop flirting as well as i know shes emotional at the moment. 2 weeks after the break up we were hanging out with work people and she was all flirty again.. then the next day, a waiter at a restaurant asks for her number, she laughs it off but he then gives her HIS #, and she calls him. they text and call now and stuff and met up twice (just standing around and talking for 20 min each time).. she says hes really cute and all that stuff and talks to me about him a lot in my face.. I mean she prolly knows how i feel about her but shes doing this.. i ask her if she likes him and she says ';idk maybe, im just happy i have someone';... what is going on? is this guy a rebound? what should i do?



thanks.PEOPLE, what should I do about this situation?!?!?
Its just my opinion she sees you as a friend...thats why she stopped flirting with you immediately after her break up,...................PEOPLE, what should I do about this situation?!?!?
It seems like you are in the friend zone, pardner. Shes talking to you about guys she likes, and flirting with them in front of you.



If you really like her, and believe she is just trying to make you jealous in order to prompt you to make a move, you should do that. Its just my opinion she sees you as a friend...thats why she stopped flirting with you immediately after her break up, when she could have made YOU the rebound guy.
she may also be doing it to get your attention and express your feelings.

only you can make that call.

How many people work at top global warming establishment the Climate Research Unit?

You may have heard of the CRU - The Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. The establishment there is custodian of one of the only original data sets for global temperature, even institutions like NASA GISS rely on.



A vast amount of the science of global warming is based on the work carried out by the scientists at the CRU, so you probably imagine a large, busy establishment with hundreds of scientists and researchers working around the clock on this crucial issue.



The reality, however, is rather different as an ongoing Parliamentary Inquiry into the Climategate scandal has just uncovered [QUOTE]



--------------------------------------鈥?br>
';';Next to [Dr Phil Jones of the CRU], holding a metaphorical hand, was Professor Edward Acton, his vice-chancellor, who interrupted at intervals to tell the committee what a splendid fellow Jones was and how his unit was doing magnificent work warning the world.



Which made it all the more astonishing that it turns out that the unit has only three full-time members. Given the importance they claim, it's as if the British army consisted of half a dozen men and an officer.';';

--------------------------------------鈥?br>


JUST THREE MEMBERS OF STAFF!!



That's it. Not hundreds of top scientists with all the latest equipment. Three people run the institution on which so much of the science of man-made global warming emanates.



But are you really that surprised at this revelation?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/鈥?/a>How many people work at top global warming establishment the Climate Research Unit?
Conspiracies are best kept to the minimum size in case a disgruntled member of the team leaks incriminating evidence to the media. They wouldn't want that happening - the kind of things Phil Jones has been been doing are so shameful, he'd probably be suicidal if they ever got out.

Also it's habit - communist sleeper networks have always been organised into cells of three.How many people work at top global warming establishment the Climate Research Unit?
%26lt;%26lt;But are you really that surprised at this revelation?%26gt;%26gt; no.



how many folks does it require to maintain a computer database?

one would hope that you're not thinking that they do all of the research that's maintained in the data base.
Well, what do you expect? Specialized University departments are often quite small. Question, how many people work with John R. Christy and Roy Spencer at UAH to model the satellite temperature record?
It's important to keep the staff small. Keep the possible leakers to a minimum.

I've seen Phil Jones recently. He's looking pretty bad. Almost as if he's contemplated suicide. I wonder if he has. Hmmmm...
None of the actually work or do anything except live off the government teat.
Global warming is about greed. With only 3 people they get to keep all the research grants in their own pockets.
No that does not surprise me.

It only takes one person to start a myth anyway.

It may take money to help spread the myth, enough to help brainwash the public and they certainly have had enough of our tax money to do just that!



I love it!

Hearing another nail being driven into the coffin, Aghhhh, music to my ears.

Maybe there is still some justice in the world after all.

And the fact that you were only trying to be helpful in your quoting and the way you changed 'him' to '[Dr Phil Jones of the CRU]' may not have been the proper way of handling the quote, (I am not an English major and don't know myself how I might have done it) does not change the issue in the least.

If that is all they can come up with to try to somehow discredit you just shows how sad some of these true 'believers' really are.

Keep hammering!
3 'Academic Staff'

http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/



+6 'Research Staff', +2 managers/directors, +11 postgraduate research assistants, +4 backroom staff, +11 associate fellows = 37 total, excluding the other 7 visiting fellows who appear to be UEA CRU based.



They may also do work with Environmental Sciences which has 90 doctors and professors + pdra's + PhD students (one of the PhDs I looked at was climate modeling and was shared between this department %26amp; mathematics, rather than in CRU).





Number of papers published by CRU in 2009 = 38



Many of them with co-authors from different institutions:

http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/pubs/full/



Number of googlescholar hits in physical %26amp; earth sciences only for 'climate change' in 2009 was over 20k. Here are the references for chapter 2 (out of 11) for working group I of the IPCC report. Find out the proportion provided by CRU if you want:

http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data鈥?/a>
I'm guessing the list of 3 three official members does not include the frustrated '; I can just make it up so I have'; computer programmer.

http://voices.kansascity.com/node/6709

how much is 13 million pounds divided 3 ways?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/copenha鈥?/a>

if they had been willing to share, divided it 4 ways instead of 3 %26amp; included the frustrated programmer, cru's climategate might never have happened.

How Do You Feel About People With Children Receiving More Benefits Than You?

- Companies do holiday Adopt-A-Family for people With children. Yet a childless person isn't able to be adopted and may want gifts for Xmas also and can't afford them. Those parents need to teach their children that their are hard knocks in life rather than whining about not receiving presents at xmas.





-Habitat for Humanity only builds for families. Yet there are many childless working people who can't find affordable housing or afford a house.





-Children can also receive medical benefits from the government if their parents don't make enough, yet in most states childless people are not able to apply for medical benefits.





-My stupid company actually gave a children's party for employees with children under 12. And the children received a better gift than the adults who work for the company.





Oh, one family adopted for Xmas asked for the gifts to be held because they are taking a two-week vacation.





It's no fair to responsible adults.How Do You Feel About People With Children Receiving More Benefits Than You?
I feel the same way. People who cannot reproduce or have chosen not to should be compensated the same as people who have made the decision to have children. Maybe through taxes?





It also goes beyond parties. Most jobs allow employees with children more flex time when leaving work, leaving early, staying home when school is cancelled. Etc.





If the corporate world is going to treat everyone the same and fairly, they need to do so for people who don't have children and are single.How Do You Feel About People With Children Receiving More Benefits Than You?
This is life. You can let it bother you and you will suffer, or you can say screw it. Nothing you can do to change it, so who cares?
If you are a responsible adult then you don't have to worry about getting handouts from anyone.
People with children actually pay alot more money than you for health and other benefits.





Quit your whining.





Eat Funyuns.
its life. you can stress over it. or you can forget about it and just be happy.
I understand your point, LIbra, but do you have any idea how expensive it is to have children? And, yes, these people made that decision, but, believe me, you are way ahead of them financially if you have only yourself to support.


You sound kind of whiny when you talk about people with kids getting better gifts. And the ';no fair'; remark only makes you sound like a pouting little kid.
Screw habitat, i would never give them squat





It is all screwed up. I am totally sick of paying for someone Else's crotch-fruit. I tell them, I don't care about little Trevor saving his little league team from losing. I don't want that rotten stale candy your kid is selling to raise money. I'm working take your grand-kids pictures and flush them for all I care. And for God's sake don't even think of asking me to work for you cause little Kimmy has her school play. I don't have kids, don't want them and sure as hell don't care about yours. I smoke, drink and have a carbon footprint that will give Al Gore a stroke, do I care, no cause I'm not overpopulating the planet with mindless little rugrats from hell.
Of course it's not fair to childless co-workers. I haven't taken a sick day in years, but by golly, those same people are taking bunches of time because their little darlings have the sniffles.





My child is now 28, but I never took a day off when he was sick. Coughed up the huge fee to take him to a special day care center for sick kids so I could go to work.





I park in the prego spots at the grocery store %26amp; malls. Pregnancy and children are not an illness - I hauled water out of a well (another story altogether) until the day before my child was born.





Part of being an adult is learning to accept some things are ';no fair';.
You can choose not to participate. Adopting a family at Christmas is centered on children...not childless people...because we build up Christmas and Santa for the kids. As for children receiving medical benefits from the government, my kid gets assistance and she is healthy...yet, I'm not healthy and my benefits have been cut (now that I have medical expenses I can't afford). Your company having a party for kids is keeping with the season...sorry they thought more about the kids then the grown folks. As for the family that is taking a vacation and want's gifts held, I'd hold them long enough to carry over to a more needy family.





Merry Christmas.
I do agree. I resented all the dang baby showers I shelled out money for and no one remembered my birthday! So, I stopped that nonsense and only went to the first shower of someone I knew well.





The office party for children 12 and under is bad, that also left out teens. It is not the companies duty to deal with the kids, they are to care for their employees. Having said that, do many of the employees have financial worries? Then it may make sense the company wanted to help--but give the money to the parents!





There is definately maritalizm in our culture, leaving out singles. We just need to be more vocal about it, I know I am.
yeah, its uncool. As it is, being single is hard enough. I hate it during tax season when families get 10grand back in refunds just becasue they have 20 kids and i make the most and get 2grand. But it evens out at times I guess because they have alot more spending to do than I do. Course the whole idea of staying single was to enjoy my money and the benefits of being single but you are right, they get better treatment.


now in the holidays, I used to be forced to work so that some dude could spend the day with their family..totally unfair! I used to quit on them all the time..that showed them!
Heard the old adage ';Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.';





The problem with giving children and people in general all these gifts is that they come to expect them, not considering working to better themselves to earn them themselves.





Where is the incentive? If we keep giving handouts to those who have the exact same opportunities that we have, why should they do anything other than demand more?





Its a sad, sad world that we are in today.





I heard it said that Oprah, when asked why she chose to give to African children instead of American children said that needy American children asked for IPODS. Needy African children asked for shoes.





Let's help the ';underprivileged'; by realizing that with ambition and a little ingenuity, they can be the next Bill Gates.





I think more than anything we do them a disservice by teaching them to depend on others.
Im sorry but christmas is more for kids than adults. imagne you being a kid and on christmas day you dont get no presents. quit whining. there is help for people that cant afford thier rent if they quialfy for it
Tour correct it's not fair. But who said life was fair. I think some folks in the U.S.S.R. held a little experiment on treating everyone the same. As I hear it from friends who lived there it was not so great. People reach out to kids during the Holidays because the can not help themselves. Hard for a 6 year old to get a job so he can get a present. As for the folks that said hold our gifts till after vacation, do you have the full story?


Now put your ';they treat them better'; whiny attitude back where it belongs and see that true Joy is not what I got, but how can I make others feel better.
it seems really selfish to be jealous of kids receiving government assistance. i doubt needy children grow up to be ungrateful adults. if you want to be jealous of someone, be jealous of the greedy and filthy rich that give nothing back to their communities or those in need, some of whom have done nothing to deserve or earn their good fortune (like the spoiled billionaire heiresses or heirs to daddy and mommies fortunes).





i hope you have a good Christmas, and remember what things you have to be thankful for.
Children are completely dependent on their parents. You cannot compare a child's need to an adult's need. As a parent, yes, you should teach your child about the ';hard knocks'; in life, but heck, you don't want them to go through it if you can help it. Children cannot go work full-time for health benefits. And unless they are rich, they also cannot go out and purchase their own gifts. Personally, I would rather see an adult living on the streets than a child - so yes, Habitat for Humanities should build for families. Why are you so upset about it and what's up with the ';it's not fair to 'responsible' adults'; comment? Are you saying that only irresponsible adults have children? It sounds like you are jealous of the kids because they received better gifts than you received.
If you were a ';responsible adult';, you won't be crying, because kids are getting more than you are. Adult who can't manage by themselves, have their own faults. But imagine, trying to survive with your salary/pay. while raising 2 kids, going to the doctor every time they're sick to assure that they won't die from their illness, feeding that growing human. Paying extra utilities, to comfort them, and then try being the best parent you can, while having to work all day, being away from the greatest thing you ever got, just so you can assure that they will grow up, healthy and happy.





Basically, your not a Responsible adult, your a spoiled child, upset that you can't get a hand out, when you don't need it.


You'll remember this, if %26amp; when you have kids, and you'll be looking for a little help, to assure your the best parent you can be.





If you need a little convincing, go to the store, and look @ formula for babys. Those run about $15 a can, you'll need at least one a week, and then look @ diapers, and see how much those run. Then Maybe you'll understand why doing somethin for people with kids makes a little more sense.





SCROOGE!!!
Life is not fair; but there are countless things besides gifts or benefits for which one can be thankful. Suppose you had to pay or wait in line to view the beauty of the earth.Thank God that the rain falls on the just and the unjust. Sunshine is for all; and there is no bill. Fresh breezes are still free. Have you viewed a sunrise or sunset lately?We receive so many benefits but we fail to take the time to appreciate them because the world is so materialistic. Everything seems to be money,money,money.People want to receive and they forget the maxim that it is more blessed to give. Anyone who wants to receive benefits designated for those with children can foster or adopt so that they will not be 'deprived' when it is time to benefit from them. I am childless but I do not bemoan that fact.Some of the material things in life I cannot afford; but I do give of my time and myself so that others may see life as a gift and appreciate the beauty of the earth.
Are you really that jealous of some kids gettin better gifts than you? It's the Christmas season. It's not always about yourself. Furthermore, You could start your own aopt an adult program if you feel so adamant about it. Start doing things for others and see what happens.
Bringing up children actually cost a lot.





Medical bills, school fees, tuition fees, food, books, clothing (children grow fast), etc etc.





I guess you're without children, thats why you don't get the misery.
It's life :) it;s how it is :)

Why does Britain allow people to immigrate into GB who openly HATE England and only want the free money?

It makes me sick. They want free money, free homes, free health care, free EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

When you talk to them in the street they keep going on about how evil the country is and yet benefit off the backs of the tax payers..

The questionnaire should read:

1) Do you Love England?

2) Are you willing to work?

If you answer ';NO'; to the above.... You are now a citizen, Welcome to Great Britain.

I Live in America and I would say almost all of our immigrants truly love this country. (With an exception of a small few) They are hard working people who actually contribute to our society and to our culture.

The immigrants in England are horrible because they go there knowing that they will get a free ride and the government will let them get away with it.

Hell, British culture is even suppressed in the schools in favor of other cultures under the guise of tolerance. My wife is British and she was not allowed to be a christian in school but had Hinduism shoved down her throat. Nothing wrong with learning other cultures and religions because it makes us grow as a people. But to have your OWN culture and religion suppressed because it might offend OTHER people? Why are the British becoming second class citizens in their own country?Why does Britain allow people to immigrate into GB who openly HATE England and only want the free money?
Same as in the US. It's a move toward one-Party government.



That's why the illustrious Obama and the Polosi gang don't have time to address the issue of the invasion on our southern border.Why does Britain allow people to immigrate into GB who openly HATE England and only want the free money?
Same here in the U.S. We allow any AntiAmerican to enter the u.s. and right away get free housing, healthcare, and FREE everything. AND they don't even have to be legal!
Because Labour wants more voters for them, and they LOVE lazy muslims.
they don't hate England they just hate the people that live there, they would love to take over the land and get rid of the natives, this is how Humans have behaved for thousands of years

Experienced people only answer my question..thanks?

Well Basically their is this man i really am infatuated with..i know hes into me as well.. but i feel as if hes only into me because he wants to get in my pant's.(Safe assumption?)I'm 16..and he is 22. i really want me and him to work..People would say im pretty mature for my age..(Not just saying that) Anyhow..



He has never brought up sex..in ANY of our conversations...hes only talked about himself..when id ask..or we talk about me...he seems really into me.. im just confused..how things are going to work out..IF they work out..you know? does this make sense?



to be truthful i do want to have sex with him..(Not a virgin) and i do want to hold a relationship with him..now that ive sorted out what i wanted from him..can i get some tips? or wise words of advice? from women or men who have been through something similar to this....thanks so muchExperienced people only answer my question..thanks?
He might like you, but only if he is EXTREMELY STUPID would he ever dare to have sex with you. Unless you live in a jurisdiction where sex is okay before age 18, he is looking at being charged with a crime---and worse, in many places, you get registered as a sex offender FOR LIFE---if he even touches you in the wrong place before you turn 18.



Most adolescent/young adult relationships do not go beyond 3-6 months, so consider yours to be special if it does. And it will be more than about sex if the two of you hang on. (Yes, there are such things as childhood sweethearts having 50 year wedding annniversaries, although they are more rare these days.)



Good luck, and be patient. By law he has to be. And it has NOTHING to do with you pressing charges or not.Experienced people only answer my question..thanks?
Well just becareful, you know how older guys are with dateing younger chicks but if you feel there is a connection I'd say go for it, take a chance cause if you don't you'll never know what would've happened, get me ?

Right now he's keeping a low profile but as soon he asks you to have sex or something you'll know to keep away from. I should know haha.



Hope this helped
more mature teens tend to become infatuated with older men because they are more mature compared to the people around there age range.BUT SEX ,A RELATIONSHIP thats taking it to far Hun. just think about what your daddy or mom would do to him when/if they found out he was/is dating you. he's gonna be hanging on for dear life. and then if they discover you two slept together, HES K.O. oh or just in jail for a few years it called statutory rape if you have sex with him...and not all states have the statutory rape law but most everyone has a dating minor law...don't be jail bait. if he ain't 18 don't date him. '; he ain't worth dating, unless hes worth waiting'; but if you still wanna date him because hes the one for you then ask yourself if hes the one for me then can't it wait? if it can't wait it is'nt the one and there is no point wasting love and time on it!
yea, you feel right. he only wants to get in your pants, id be careful if i was u
No,no and no. Seriously, you are heading down a road you dont want to really be on. Have you any clue how much trouble you can get him in let alone how much trouble he can get himself in by accepting you come ons for sex? Having an older friend is fine but you have to not have sex with him. He could land in jail or worse, prison with a record as a pedaphile. Refrain for your sake and his.
Sex with you could mean big trouble for him and he knows this , so he is keeping it low key .

How do fraudsters work?

I have just discovered I have been a victim of fraud. Someone has taken the liberty of booking a flight with an airline in Antigua ay my expense. How did they get hold of my bank details? I always use paypal to purchase things on the internet. I know I will get the money back from my bank and have cancelled the card for the account but I just want to know how these people workHow do fraudsters work?
Phishing scams, have you had any e-mails from paypal asking you to log on through a link. If you have and you did thats how they got your details, no company will e-mail you and ask you to provide personal info as they already have it. If you are unsure phone the company. Otherwise they might have keylogging software or may be stealing personal info from your rubbish. There are loads of ways fraudsters can catch you out. Check out The Real Hustle on BBC3, it sets you straight on loads of different scams.How do fraudsters work?
Wow Thats messed up.. They work by watching you i guess the stealing you junk
Go to www.scambusters.org

This is a web site that specialises in frauds.

Sign up for their free weekly email and get all your friends to do so as well.



As for how they got your card details, almost certainly one of two ways.

.) You paid for petrol, probably on a motorway, and handed your caerd to the clerk.

.) You have a key-logger in your computer that stole the card details when you entered them.



Good lucj with that one
Ask the home secretary She`s an expert fraudster herself
I had similar to this when someone used my card to book on expedia with a card I hadn't even had!!! turned out that it had been stolen in the postal system
It is so easy on the internet but most scammers can be avoided. First, emails! When someone sends you an email, just by opening it you could be letting yourself in for trouble. There are services such as readnotify.com who inform you of when someone has received your email, when they opened it, where they opened it, if they forwarded it etc. Once you open an email, if it contains images these could contain spyware, links can lead to all sorts of trouble. Common ways of 'spying' are as follows: You receive an email, it say's you have won a fortune on yahoo lottery. You think no way it's a scam, but you click the link anyway which takes you to a yahoo sign in page and you sign in. First, the sender knows you have received the email because you opened it. Second, you clicked the link which may have installed a spy programme on your pc, these spy programmes are very good and enable a person to log into a web site where they can see everything you do on your pc, including everything you type! Next, that yahoo sign in page it took you to, is not a yahoo sign in page. You put your email address and your password and you've just sent that to someone else!

Phishing can be in many forms, say an email from your bank saying you need to update your account, or from paypal saying something similar. The best thing to do when in doubt about a web site which asks for your details, enter an email address and password which could not exist, say ytdfegrd@fgrtd.com and see if it accepts it...if so it's fake! There are many other ways of spying a pc including the use of cookies, and very sophisticated hackers could be impossible to avoid. Thankfully sophisticated hackers are not normally interested in the likes of me and you!

Do people really live with their heads in the clouds?

I just got off the phone with a very old friend. We have never made a habit of talking about money, because it never came up and our situations have always been different. Well, during our conversation she asked me if my house was paid off. I said, no we have only lived here for 12 years. I was shocked by the question. My husband and I are working people, and have a teenage daughter. We make a good living, but don't have money growing on trees. I assumed we lived like most average Americans these day. However, she was shocked that my house was not paid off already. I understand that she comes from money and has never had to work, but I don't understand how she can assume the rest of us in this world are like her..... I guess my question is, how many 40 year old people have their houses paid off??? I am still shocked to her reaction to our not being so.Do people really live with their heads in the clouds?
most people do
