We are all 17 except one of us who is 16. There is hopefully going to be a group of 10. 6 are girls and 4 guys. Three of us have California drivers licenses, and we are all pretty responsible,and we will be taking two large trucks. We are not unfamiliar with camping as we have lived in a mountainous region since birth or at least 10 years old. Camping is a regular thing to us. We have the location, but not exactly sure about the supplies or how to find out whether there is a legal age limit or permits for fire and what not. We will be staying at a place 2 hours from home, for about three days two nights. We really want to have an awesome time as to it is our last spring break together before Senior Year. So any suggestions, questions, warnings, ‘you better not do that’ s, haha, all comments welcome. Also we are going to camp in California in the Sequoia National Forest.
Should I tell him how I feel?
Posted by: | CommentsAlright so I guess this all started when I joined a volunteer service January 2010. To my excitement, I was assigned to work at a children’s camp in Virginia (I am from Pennsylvania) for a year. It turned out to be one of the most life changing experiences of my life. I started working there February 15, 2010. I remember because it was the day after valentines day. lol So a few months later once summer rolled around the counselors started coming for our training which is about two weeks long.
Thats when I met him. He was the first person to show up and it hit me like I was struck by lightning. I have never felt this way about a guy before. You know how you kinda have somewhat of an image in your head of the person you will end up with? like “the one?” lol i hope i’m not the only one who has done that at least. It was like the universe took him out of my head and made him real… only more real than I could have imagined.
I saw him every day… all day… for a whole summer. I fell hard and I drove everyone else crazy because i couldn’t shut up about him. Every time he was near it was like my body went into hyper sensitive mode. Our hands would accidentally touch and it was like i touched fire. My friends would catch me watching him play with a group of kids and I’d have this stupid smile on my face like i was looking at the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. Also some family matters were going on back at home that had me really stressed out. There were times where he’d hold me while i cry and he’d try to make me laugh to make me feel better. It didn’t take much effort. He’s such a good guy, a good friend, and i have so much respect for him. And I know he’s not perfect because no one is, but he’s the closest thing to perfect i have ever seen. that’s the best I can explain it.
Well after a whole summer of flirting with each other and becoming good friends… it regrettably was the last week of summer camp. I had decided that i had to tell him how i felt because i knew i would regret it for the rest of my life if i didn’t. I asked my friends about it first because i didn’t want to ruin everything. My friends insisted that he liked me and i took courage from that. I also asked his brother and he told me that “the guy i’m talking about” just got out of a 4 year long relationship back in spring and he wasn’t sure what he would say, but told me i should try anyway.
So i told him and it was the hardest thing to do. I was so nervous, but i felt relieved to finally let him know and have it out in the open. He said he liked me too, but he just got out of a relationship and he wasn’t ready to date again so soon. I had expected that answer so i wasn’t surprised, but it still hurt nonetheless. The following week went smoothly like nothing had changed between us. Maybe less flirting but our friendship was just as good. Summer ended then and we all went back home.
Now it’s October 15, 2011… i’m back in Pennsylvania and he’s still back there. I have tried so hard to forget about him. I’ve tried dating other guys and they never last longer than a few weeks which is odd for me because i’m a long term relationship kind of girl. I keep dreaming about him, I draw pictures of him, every love song makes me think of him, i write stupid poems about him, and he’s the last thing i think about when i go to bed and the first thing i think about when i wake up. We don’t talk very often. i start conversations every so often and they are always very brief like he’s just being polite when he’s actually busy or something and he never initiates a conversation so i stopped trying. I’m very careful about what i say so i don’t let my feelings show. I don’t want to be the crazy girl that’s obsessed even though that’s what i feel like. It’s been a few months since we talked and i think he may have forgotten about me. he might even have girlfriend. i have no idea. i swear though, i would drive all those miles to him right now if i thought i even had a chance. what should i do?
What should I do with my hiking/camping equipment while in college?
Posted by: | CommentsThings like backpacks, waterbottles, first-aid kits etc….. I am not worried about. But I am worried that equipment such as knives, hatchets, lighters (the “dangerous” stuff) will cause problems because I will live in on-campus housing. Does anyone know of any rules that specifically prevent me from bringing this kind of stuff into a dorm room? Any New York State laws that prevent this kind of stuff from being on campus? I really like hiking, and there is even an outdoors club on campus, but I wouldn’t feel prepared for a hike in REAL wilderness without that gear.
Long story, confused, I want this to work with this girl I like, what should I do?
Posted by: | CommentsOkay well I’ve been asking a lot of questions about my love life on here, and it’s always been about this girl I met at a church camp in colorado, who is beautiful, shy, funny, and kind of nerdy and I’m also only able to see her at church, she’s goes to a different high school so at the moment i see her only once a week.
And she used to give me a few good signs recently after camp, which included asking for my number, insisting to meet my mother, always used to come up to me, inviting me places and being so happy in my presence.
Sadly things have faded since camp which was a few months ago; she hasn’t been as outgoing and fun with me like before, in fact she sometimes comes and goes without greeting me anymore. :/ She now seems awfully shy and always sits in the back row at church. Honestly I’ve been busy with school lately so I never had time to contact with her for like 2 weeks, but I was hoping we catch up on things. Practically all the signs she once gave me are gone, I just hope I’m not becoming boring or anything; her happiness isn’t as much as it used to be, and It’s quite concerning.
I just hope I didn’t wait too long, she means a lot to me and i didn’t realize this would happen. I mean, I didn’t think she be the type to date, since she’s awfully shy, and she doesn’t even have that many guy friends at school. I’m like the only guy she really knows at church and she’s the only girl i really know since I’m kinda shy as well. I talked to her recently after the church service ended on our way out, and as I explained she didn’t seem too enthusiastic as before, but she seemed average lol, and we’re planning on hanging out again soon. But I need you help!
When we do hang out, I’m planning on being more talkative, funny, and flirt more and be nice. I want to see her laugh again, and show interest again like during the good times we had, cause she means everything to me, she’s like no other girl I’ve met. I’m positive she once truly liked me but now she seems as shy as she was when I first met her. and let me explain this, I happen to know her back in 7th grade and I used to like her then too, so seeing her come to my church was miraculous for I never knew I’d see her again.
And the reason I actrually don’t really want to tell her how I feel just yet is because I don’t want to be like most highschoolers whose relationships never last, so if we were to go out, I would want to be sure that we wouldn’t have to deal with typical drama, trust issues, pressure, and crap. I was planning on asking her out sometime next year when I’m a junior but seeing how things are currently going, I’m just so confused now.
I just want to know how can I still keep her interested in me, and how I can possible spend moments with her as special as the moments we had at camp and recently after. I liked seeing her so happy in my presence, since no other girl has ever been that way with me in my entire life. Alot is going through my mind right now as you can tell lol, so please give me positive answers. thank you 
Btw, sorry if I may spam this, I just really want this answered soon cause I need some help with this. :/
Harold Camping should pay all off his followers their money back.?
Posted by: | CommentsSo many people poured their life savings into this end of the world gibberish, I know they were dumb for doing it, But Camping swore to them it was true. Here is how much money Camping has
“As the day drew nearer, followers reported that donations grew, allowing Family Radio to spend millions on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the doomsday message. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.”
Harold Camping is a liar and an extortionist, he stole all of this money from people. He should give it all back, to his followers, like the guy from New York who dumped his life savings (140,000 dollars). Its really terrible what he’s done.
What do you guys think?
Which group should have governed the behavior of the soldiers in these camps?
Posted by: | CommentsRattlesnake Springs was one of the stockade camps where Cherokees were initially collected after being forced off of their land. It is located in the far southeastern corner of Tennessee, near the North Carolina border. Six hundred Cherokees camped at Rattlesnake Springs in July 1838, waiting to leave for the West. More than 4,800 Cherokees waited at camps in this general area before relocation. The final council of the Eastern Cherokees was held at Rattlesnake Springs. Lamentations were pronounced and the council determined to continue their old constitution and laws in the new land.
Many of the deaths attributed to the Trail of Tears happened in the kinds of stockade camps described in the case study. Most of these were caused by brutality from the soldiers in charge.
Answers
The military: few of the camps were close to any other government groups and the Cherokee were powerless to protect themselves.
The Cherokee: they were still on native land and the Cherokee had their own laws and the means to enforce them.
The state governments: most of the laws broken by the soldiers were enforceable only by state officials.
The Congress: the removal acts were passed by Congress and its members were responsible to the Cherokee people.
Should Israeli spies without visas be allowed to build military camps in NYS?
Posted by: | CommentsThe suspicious activities of young Israeli men and women who aggressively push Israeli cosmetic products at mall kiosks around the United States is not only tied to gathering intelligence from nearby military and government facilities but also to recruit American Jews for specialized “counter-terrorism” training at a militant Jewish training camp in the Catskills in upstate New York.
I incorrectly poured RV antifreeze (green) fluid into my car’s windshield fluid tank. Should I worry? Or should I drain it out and use the correct (blue) windshield fluid.
Should I get a nice RV or an awesome camper trailer?
Posted by: | CommentsI don’t own a truck, but my dad has a 2010 Silverado 3500 with the 6.6 L diesel and heavy duty tranny. We can trade cars and I can use it at any time.
The website says it can trailer a maximum of 21,700 lbs.
I’d to have a shower in either.
I do not want to spend more than $100,000
Where should we move to in Western Washington State?
Posted by: | CommentsMy wife and I just visited Western Washington state and were AMAZED at the natural beauty there and the friendliness of its inhabitants. I just finished my Master’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in MIS (Management of Information Systems), and my wife is a newly graduated RN (registered nurse) who works for a local pediatric clinic here in Omaha, Nebraska. We have been contemplating a move lately. We are entirely too sick of the winters here. We are looking to move some place that has milder winters. Omaha’s are 5-6 mo long and we get way too much snow and often wind chills far below zero. In addition, the summers are often too hot and humid so the kids end up spending too much time indoors. We have three children ages 12, 7 and 5 and we would like to move some place with a community feel to it. We don’t mind rain instead of snow and even some snow is perfectly fine, just not as much as we get now where the 50 degree below zero wind literally takes your breath away. We want an area with good schools, safe neighborhoods where outdoor recreation is easily accessible. We want to be close enough to a somewhat bigger city so we can enjoy typical city advantages such as concerts and live theater, as well be close enough to drive into the wilderness for a weekend of camping and “getting away from it all”. We need an area that can serve both of our professions and where home prices aren’t extravagant and the people are friendly. Omaha is incredibly friendly and the cost of living is wonderful and our kids go to great schools in a smaller neighboring city but we just can’t stand the weather. When we visited Oregon and Washington in early September, we went as far South as Portland, OR and as far North as Port Angeles, Forks, and Cape Flattery in WA. Downtown Seattle was too big and scary for my wife to live there on a regular basis, especially at night (though I loved it) and Forks was too far from a big city for me (though my wife loved it). Something or somewhere in between would be nice. Someone suggested Bellingham to us but we just don’t know much about anywhere ourselves. If anyone would have any good suggestions or other websites for us to aide in our research, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, our family in Omaha
