This is no way is a comprehensive list of all of the Disney movies. I've merely going through the Disney movies that I am most familiar with, and making observations about what I thought while watching them as a kid versus watching them now.
Snow White
I never realized as a child that Snow White is meant to be 14. Maybe Disney decided to change this fact when adapting the movie from the book. Anyway…
The thing that mostly bothers me about this movie is that we, as the audience are expected to accept the universe for what it is: so, magical mirrors, and potions that can change appearances, but the main conflict between a Queen and child is an argument over who is more beautiful? Even the magic mirror, who's mere existence is unexplained and fascinating, is used to answer dumb questions? I guess, being a mirror, or having your existence trapped within a mirror (see, I would have been more interested in exploring his existence… maybe if he tricked the Queen into trying to kill Snow White, or something… ) you don't really have any say in what you are allowed to do.
Let this be fair warning to thee, mirror.
It seems like for many fiction stories, it's not uncommon for the beauty of female characters to be their biggest achievement (and perhaps in real life, too?). The prince knows nothing about Snow White, except that she seems to be some kind of servant. But, she is beautiful, so that's enough for him, apparently.
There is also a theme that is within literature: evil, or mean women are always ugly. Meaning that good-looking people must therefore be good. There have been studies that prove that people automatically will think that good-looking people are more successful, more trustworthy, etc… Maybe this is why princes seem to fall in love with pretty girls at the drop of a hat?
I'm not even going to delve into the Adam and Eve/apple bit…
I'm giving Disney a pass on this, because the movie was made in 1937. So, not a lot of feminist headway was being made.
Erm. Ok, firstly, zexxy lady puppets. Right. Is the wooden cleavage really necessary?
The Blue Fairy.
She doesn't have a name, and is very beautiful. Perhaps she is more described within the book? This is a common theme in fiction: good = pretty. This applies to men, as well. It's an unrealistic, and archaic thought process that comes from the 19th century, when people thought that there was a correlation between good looks and morality. This is a damaging concept for everyone.
Because Pinocchio is lacking of female characters I'm going to focus on something else that bothers me about the film. Be warned, those who are still scarred from the donkey transforming scenes – avert your eyes!
Firstly, my issue is that the Blue Fairy promises Pinocchio that he will turn into a real boy if proves himself brave, truthful, and unselfish. So, at Pleasure Island, Pinocchio doesn't stop his bad behavior because he has learned a moral lesson: he becomes afraid of the consequences when he sees his friend begin to turn into a donkey.
This seems like a cop-out on the morality lesson that Pinocchio is supposed to be learning, but I suppose the Blue Fairy isn't actually there to help him in this instance. It seems unfair that the boys and Pinocchio are doing the exact same things, but Pinocchio escapes, and doesn't return for them! I really wish that there was a sequel, so that Pinocchio and Gepetto are able to free all of the donkey boys.
This is one of the only Disney movie where everything isn't 'solved' at the end, and frankly, my heart can't really handle whatever has happened to Alexander, and the other donkeys that could still talk.
The Coachman: And what might your name be?
Alexander: Alexander.
The Coachman: So you can talk?
Alexander: Yes, sir. I wanna go home to my mama!
The Coachman: Take him back! He can still talk!
Alexander: [pleading with the other rejected donkeys] Please, please, I don't wanna be a donkey! Let me outta here!
The Coachman: [cracks his whip] Quiet! You boys have had your fun. Now pay for it!
I can't be the only one that thinks that this is one of the most upsetting scenes ever.
Firstly, why are there so many naked lady-types within this movie? I guess fairies are always female, and are unable to fashion themselves clothing of any kind.
I always loved the centaur scenes when I was kid, but now… these are clearly lady horses, because they are taking forever to get ready for their dates
I'm also not OK with the idea that the ladies are the ones being pursued and presented, like they are at a cotillion.
Also, the fact that they are all 'paired up' reaffirms the idea that someone's appearance is the only thing that matters is a relationship.
… Although, it would be really nice if it were this easy to spot your potential love.
I do really appreciate that the crocodiles like the hippos over the ostriches, though…
This movie has some terrible qualities for some pretty obvious reasons.
A crow named "Jim Crow." No big deal…
You know that old idiom of when a group of women gather, they are like a gang of clucking hens? Because women couldn't possibly have anything of value to discuss amongst themselves, of course. This is picture of females portrayed within Dumbo, except they are a group of elephants and not human women (… or chickens). I did a quick search on the Disney Wiki page, and according to it, their names are: 'Elephant matriarch,' 'Prissy,' 'Giddy,' and 'Catty.'
Cool. So, Disney isn't trying to mask their intent on this one. Also, the meanest elephant, the matriarch, is the ugliest elephant, and has a deep voice. Again, the theme of the idea of femininity surrounds being beautiful.
Other than the group of elephants, there is not a female role. Dumbo's mother is absent for most of the movie… possibly one of the most emotional Disney scenes of all time.
Alice in Wonderland
I love pretty much everything love everything about this movie, except for AGAIN, the Queen is mean, and therefore, must be ugly.
The King is so meek and tiny in size, compared to the Queen that it is ridiculous. To me, this means that there is no middle-ground for females within the Disney universe. Either they are kind and beautiful, or evil and ugly.
On a separate note, I really appreciate that unlike most Disney movies, Alice looks her age, and isn't a perfect singer.
Peter Pan
I didn't actually own The Little Mermaid, which is probably my favorite Disney movie when I was growing up, so when I saw the mermaids in Peter Pan, I was excited to get a mermaid-y fix! I was so disappointed, even as a kid, that these girls were catty and mean to Wendy, and even then, I was annoyed that all of the girls that were in the movie had a crush on Peter.
I never thought that he was cute, so I couldn't see what lure he possessed to them. Maybe that he was the 'leader,' and that all of the other boys were like, eight years old? I'm not sure…
And Tiger Lily. Sigh. Peter Pan is probably the worst movie for females (and ethnic sensitivity). They already have one main female character, Wendy, so why bother developing another character, or even giving lines to another broad?
Tiger Lily seems to only exist within the movie to be rescued – her only partial line is "help."
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
Roger is such a delight, and is never included in any 'Disney prince' lists. I suppose he's not technically a prince, but Roger…
(… You'll always be a prince to me!)
… Onward!
Cruella's character falls into the realm of demonic, as one might assume by her namesake. This tiresome theme, which is again that of ugly women must be ugly. Wouldn't it be more interesting if a character was neutral-looking, and the audience had to determine for themselves if they were a villain or not? Wouldn't it be more educational, and encourage children to develop more complex views on their world? Is this asking too much?
Jungle Book
Ok, ok, the first book was written in 1893, so female empowerment is not going to be a huge theme within this movie. The girl singing at end of the movie (she doesn't need a name) was always sad times for me. Mowgli thinks she's pretty, which is good enough reason for him to follow her, and she sings a song that is still fairly accurate for many young women:
My own home, my own home….
Father's hunting in the forest
Mother's cooking in the home, I must go to fetch the water
'Til the day that I'm grown
'Til I'm grown, 'til I'm grown
I must go to fetch the water
'Til the day that I'm grown
Then I will have a handsome husband
And a daughter of my own
And I'll send her to fetch the water
I'll be cooking in the home
Then I'll send her to fetch the water
I'll be cooking in the home
Um. This is awkward.
Also, the mom cat is a hot lady cat, so of course she has to be refined and fancy (her name is Duchess… go figure.)
The Little Mermaid
I've read about a lot of different criticisms for this movie, because people think that Ariel changed herself simply to be with Eric. Were you people not paying attention to like, the first 20 minutes of the movie? She talks about how much she loves humans and wants to be A PART OF THEIR WORLD.
(There is even a song about this!)
My criticisms for the movie is are that Ariel's body are unrealistically proportioned. Her waist is ridiculous, and we are entering the era for when Disney got all… sexual.
Really, I think that Ariel's sea shells could have been a little bit bigger. But, I suppose Disney wanted kids watching, and re-watching the movie, because of reasons that children wouldn't understand yet. This is a creepy theory, I know, but it's about to get creepier as we go along.
The Rescuers Down Under
No real complaints here. Bianca is a strong and independent character. Me likey.
As a child, I always thought that this movie was kind of intense, and I couldn't really put my finger on why. Looking back, this is one of the only Disney movies that I ever saw to show real violence towards children.
Also, because of the lacking-in-consequences movies that I was watching, I did NOT get that the animals that were trapped were going to be killed for their fur or skins. The scene where one animal is making fun of the other, because he will be turned into a purse when straight over my head.
Or, maybe I was just a dumb kid to not get that… who knows.
Finally! An awesome female that we can all get behind:
Beauty and the Beast
I love, LOVE the music in this movie, but unfortunately, that isn't enough to stop me from complaining about a few things…
So… Gaston turns down triplets for someone that doesn't want him? They and Belle even look alike, other than their hairstyles. This makes no sense to me.
Also, I know that this has been discussed before, but Belle 'fell in love' with the Beast, or at least started to have feelings for him while she was being held prisoner. I don't care if that is technically the definition of Stockholm syndrome, or not. Either way, this is not real love or friendship.
So there!
I think that Gaston only wanted Belle because she was a challenge. He doesn't want the triplets, who were throwing themselves at him, and he's mean to LeFou. In my perfect ending, Gaston would come back to the village after being beat by the Beast, and realize that LeFou has been his only friend throughout their lives, and they would end up together
<3. Tee hee. The happy couple.
Ha. This movie is the epitome of inappropriately-sexual Disney for me.
I'm not even going to comment on the size of Jasmine's waist (except that I just did), because you all know that it is entirely too small.
This is not appropriate for children. Jasmine in a bikini, in chains? This scene was most likely the root for many people's BDSM fantasies.
Also, Jasmine is a strong female character, and she still needs rescuing from Aladdin.
And yet, Aladdin can rescue himself from perilous situations throughout the movie…
This scene is cray.
The Lion King
All right, here's another leader that I can get behind.
Shenzi (centre) is the leader of the hyena pack, and is a female! She's also voiced by Whoppi Goldberg, so that's awesome. Also, Nala is a decently strong character. But AGAIN, everyone needs to be rescued by the prince. Huzzah for anthropomorphized monarchy.
I think that Pocahontas is one of the only Disney movies where I can't find fault in the female character. Maybe because it's based on a true story, rather than male writers throughout history, who sat at their desks, twiddling their mustaches, worrying about the town blue-stocking. Haha, just kidding… kind of. How and why does she learn to speak English so quickly, though?
Mulan is based on a legend, so again, this story hasn't come from natural storytelling of a writer within the entertainment industry. It seems like there is always a 'catch' for female roles: girls can't just be there, a part of the group. They seem to fall on one side of extremism or the other.
The Emperor's New Groove
I think that this is one of the funniest Disney movies everrr.
But, again, and older, mean women means ugly.
And this ugly woman is the butt of many jokes throughout the movie.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
This is… more or less a Disney movie.
I love this movie, and Sally is a strong character. But inevitably, she still needs rescuing…
And finally, it's not Disney, but it is perhaps my most hated movie of all time that I didn't even finish:
The Princess Bride
Useless female alert 10: her name is Buttercup. Unless she was under some kind of spell to make her stupid (seriously didn't finish the movie), she is the worst of the worst for me.
When I turned it off, the prince (or whoever he is) and her were in a forest, and these rats start to attack them. The guy asks her to pass him his sword while he is being attacked, and she couldn't even manage that. Uh huuuh. Don't even tell about me how funny/great/awesome you think that movie is.

Man Butchers Girlfriend; Leaves Chilling Messages On Machete Used
June 13, 2012 – Man Butchers Girlfriend; Leaves Chilling Messages On Machete Used
According to a report from the daily mail, a 50-year old man named Prince Hepburn in the Bahamas recently butchers his girlfriend, Nellie Brown-Cox for allegedly cheating on him. www.naijagists.com
Investigators found the above blood-soaked machete with chilling message along side the body of Nellie Brown-Cox (pictured above).
The machete used in the murder was left with this haunting message
'This is what cheaters get'
42 years old Nellie Brown-Cox's body was found mutilated
Another chilling message was scrawled onto the other side of the blade that read 'Your Next George Sawyer'.
Hepburn, believed to be Miss Brown-Cox's boyfriend, was found at the scene with slash wounds to his wrists and was arrested on suspicion of murder.
He is now believed to have admitted to the slaying of the secretary in the Bougainvillea Boulevard area of the Bahamas.
The grisly scene was found by police when they attended reports of a stabbing at an apartment in the area at 9.20pm on April 7.
A report filed by detectives in the Bahamas read: 'As a result a team of homicide investigators and crime scene investigators were dispatched to the scene.
Upon their arrival on the scene officers observed the deceased was lying face up on the kitchen floor near the door with her head in a western direction and her feet in an eastern direction with a cutlass under her right foot.
Police claim the self-employed contractor had admitted to killing the deceased and had attempted to take his own life by cutting his wrist and taking some pills.
He remains in police custody, after hospital treatment, on suspicion of the murder (credit: daily mail)
God have mercy!

The Greening Of Brussels
By THEODORE JAMES Jr.; Theodore James Jr., who lives on Long Island, is writing a book about landscape gardening for homeowners.
Published: July 5, 1987
The people of Brussels will tell you that their city has more green space than any other major European capital. A partisan view, perhaps, but an understandable one. In this city of parks, the biggest one -the 12,000-acre Foret de Soignes - is nearly six times as large as the sprawling Bois de Boulogne in Paris.
Credit for establishing virtually all these extensive parks goes to King Leopold II, who amassed a personal fortune in Africa during his reign from 1865 to 1909. Leopold was determined to make Brussels as imposing a capital as any in Europe - no matter what it cost him, his rich friends, the Government, the taxpayers and the people of the Congo Free State, which he ruled personally from 1885 until scandal forced him to turn it over to the Belgian Government in 1908.
So now there is parkland in Brussels for everyone: huge forests, intimate pocket parks, formal gardens, people's parks, an impressive arboretum and one of Europe's two most extensive Botanical Gardens (the other the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew outside London).
As the Bois de Boulogne is to Paris and Central Park is to New York, the Bois de la Cambre, or Cambre Woods, is to Brussels. Rain or shine, the 272-acre park is a favorite rallying point throughout the year for strollers. Originally a part of the adjoining Foret de Soignes, or Soignes Forest, the Bois de la Cambre was annexed by the city over a century ago. The elegant, mile-and-a-half-long Avenue Louise, the city's main shopping thoroughfare and promenade, leads to the park.
In addition to the meticulously maintained greenswards, the allees of stately oaks and weeping beeches, the gently sloping hills, the woodland paths and the serpentine bridle trails, the Bois de la Cambre is dotted with diversions. It is a park for people, a refuge for Belgians from the busy cityscape. And apparently the people respect and cherish their park; the landscape is not marred with graffiti or refuse. Here you can find the elderly walking their dogs, equestrians winding their way along trails, bicyclers pedaling past woods and scores of fishermen, under umbrellas on rainy days, sitting along streams and ponds in search of dinner.
One of the most popular gathering places in the Bois de la Cambre is the outdoor roller-skating rink and the adjoining cafe and restaurant. There, under the shade of scores of alder trees, you can watch people, have a snack or a meal and enjoy studying the antics of those on wheels. The restaurant-cafe, the Chalet du Gymnase, is open seven days a week year-round from 11 A.M. to 10 P.M. Cheese, sausage or cold meat sandwiches cost about $2.50, and a full lunch or dinner costs $8.75 to $21.50. During summer, reservations are in order. Telephone 649-70-02. The roller-skating rink attracts people of all ages; an instructor is on the premises. Admission is about $1.50, and you can rent skates for about $3 a day. A taxi from the center of Brussels to the rink costs about $5.
Another popular attraction is Le Lac, a lake with five geyser fountains that periodically spew up great columns of water. In the middle of the lake is an idyllic little island, Ile Robinson, which is reached by a small cable-drawn ferry. This is a favorite picnic area. You can bring your own food or stop at the island's small restaurant, the Chalet Robinson, for sandwiches at about $4 or a full meal at $13.50 to $27.
For dining in the grand manner, the Michelin two-star Villa Lorraine is in the park at Avenue Vivier-d'Oie 75 (374-31-63). Closed Sunday and during July, lunch and dinner costs $50 to $90, with a cab ride from the center of the city costing about $9.
For avant-garde theater, the Theatre de Poche is in the park near the skating rink. Check at your hotel or in the local newspapers for current offerings. Just outside the theater is a seat by a sign stating ''Bench for Conversation'' Here, day or night, anyone who wants to talk to others - for loneliness, curiosity, nostalgia, whatever the reason - can sit down. Before long, another person strolls by and stops, and a conversation ensues.
The riding stable, open from 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. year-round, is at Avenue Chausee de Waterloo 872 (telephone 375-34-08). A private lesson costs about $8 for half an hour; for a group lesson, the cost is $9 an hour.
Another park, the Geographical Arboretum in the suburb of Tervuren, was created in 1902 from crown land given by Leopold II to the state. Some mature plantings date from 1908. The arboretum, a small part of the vast Foret de Soignes parkland surrounding Brussels, maintains a series of ''green environments'' resembling forests of different temperate areas around the world. In the arboretum, there are 40 different ''forests'' that you can explore. The 20 Western Hemisphere forests cover an area of around 150 acres, and the 20 Eastern Hemisphere forests cover 85 acres. More than 400 woody species are planted. The arboretum has been designated a ''silent area'' - that is, no automobiles, motorcycles, mopeds or portable radios are permitted.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I live in Washington State. My husband's job is relocating. He has raised my 9 year old since she was 3 and loves her as if she were his own. My daughters biological father has only been back in her life for a year. He has no job and only comes around when it's convenient for him. There is no parenting plan. Can he stop us from moving to Texas?He is on my daughter's birth certificate.
Legally speaking, you can move. Parenting plans are required to contain a summary of the relocation act which is found at RCW 26.09.430. Under the act, the custodial parent is required to give written notice to the non-custodial parent 60 days before a proposed move. Since there is no parenting plan in this case, there is no requirement that you follow the act.
Can he stop you from moving to Texas. Yes and no. Bio dad can file a Petition to establish a residential schedule/parenting plan, which he is entitled to do. Once the court adopts a schedule, that schedule will contain the relocation act summary described above. You will then be obligated to provide 60 days notice and the child's bio dad can file an objection to relocation and seek an order restraining your relocation.
The fact is that bio dad can slow down or delay your move, but based on the facts as you have described them, he probably cannot stop the move.The relocation act has a built in presumption that a custodial parent will be allowed to move. The party objecting to the relocation has the burden of proving the the benefit of the move is outweighed by the detriment. There are eleven factors to be considered under the statute. It would be tough for even a very active dad to prevent a relocation request made in good faith and for good reasons.
Given bio dad's limited involvement, your daughter's attachment to her step-dad, the fact that there is a job waiting for your husband in Texas it would be highly unlikely that he will be able to meet his burden. Even if he challenged you in court, it is unlikely that he would win.
The larger moral question is, will you give him notice before you move or will you tell him after the fact?
Good LuckAsk a similar question
WA has a Relocation Act (in RCW 26.09) that requires the primary parent to provide formal written notice of relocation to the other parent at least 60 days (or when find out you need to move is that is less than 60 days before an intended move IF the other parent has court-ordered time with the child. A "parenting plan" is usually the court order governing the nonprimary parent's residential time. So technically you could move without the Relocation Act applying if the father has no court-ordered time. However, if you do that and the father is upset by it, he can petition the court to establish a parenting plan and request an immediate hearing to compel you to return the child to WA pending entry of a parenting plan by this state. Thus you should seriously consider giving the father the "notice of relocation" on the prescribed mandatory state form even though he does not have court-ordered t"child time" yet: if you did so he would have only 14 days to file a petition objecting to relocation prior to trial, as well as a legal action to establish a parenting plan in order to even obtain access to the court to request an order restraining the relocation pending trial on his petition(s). If he did not timely file such a motion, but later complained, your having given the notice would likely be in your favor at a hearing if he sought to get an order requiring you to return the child to WA. These are very important and somewhat complex legal decisions you need to make and you should certainly at least consult with an experienced WA family law attorney before you do so.
Janet Watson
You do not have custody if there is no parenting plan!! WA has subject matter jdx and personal jdx and will continue to have it until you have been gone for 6 months. The problem is this: you can leave, but if you do, you run the risk that the bio-dad will make you come back or make you hand over your daughter. Don't risk it. Get the parenting plan worked out before you go. Bio-dad can agree, but if you sneak away you are risking the loss of your child. If you do it correctly - establish a plan, become the primary residential parent, and THEN do a relocation properly, bio-dad cannot complain and get any sympathy. But if you just up and leave, you could really lose.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth PowellAsk a similar question

A Novel Soybean Germplasm with Elevated Saturated Fatty Acids
- Shaikh M. Rahman *a,
- Toyoaki Anaib,
- Takehito Kinoshitab and
- Yutaka Takagib
Two soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm lines have been identified for unique fatty acid content. The very high content of palmitic acid in HPKKJ10 is controlled by the fap2 and fapx loci, and the very high content of stearic acid in M25 is controlled by the st2 locus. If the fap2 and fapx loci are independently inherited from the st2 locus, soybean germplasm could be developed with more unique and useful combinations of these fatty acids. The objectives of this study were to combine the loci of high palmitic and stearic acids, and determine the effects of altered contents of palmitic and stearic acids on other fatty acids. HPKKJ10 was reciprocally crossed to M25. The data from F2 seed indicated that the fap2 and fapx loci controlling high palmitic acid were independently inherited from the st2 locus controlling high stearic acid. Thus, the germplasm (HPS) with the very high palmitic acid trait from HPKKJ10, and very high stearic acid trait from M25, was easily developed. The increases in palmitic acid due to the fap2 and fapx loci in HPKKJ10, and the increases in stearic acid due to the st2 locus in M25 were individually associated with changes in oleic acid. The combined increases in these two fatty acids in HPS were associated with decreases in oleic and linoleic acids, and increases in linolenic acid. The development of HPS with high content of saturated fatty acids could open new markets for soybean oil.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Im poor but im young and beautiful so according to gag men like young and pretty women.
Im in school and i want to use my looks to marry a guy just for money. I want to divorce him because my goal is not to get married but i just want to do it to get monthly divorce checks.
At what time in the marriage do i divorce him so the lawyer can give me half of what he owns? Also i do not plan on having sex with a guy, i want to marry a guy in his 20-30s
How do I find a way to be secure and set for life by marrying a rich guy just so I can divorce him?
Im poor but im young and beautiful so according to gag men like young and pretty women.
What Guys Said 19
Even if you succeed he'd probaby retaliate and it would be very hazardous to your well being and you may not survive. I heard of stories where rich and powerful businessmen will have their wife killed or something if they ever tried to divorce or leave them. So do it at your own risk. If they are rich they may also be really really bad guys, who knows? Who knows what kinds if connections they have and how they are able to have so much money and assets amongst their finances.
And then what is the point? You may not last long or live long enough to enjoy what you had taken from someone else that is rightfully theirs in the very first place.
At first everything may be ok, you may get to enjoy the large sum of money you won in divorce court, assuming you even get that far. But then you'd always have to look over you shoulders and be careful whenever you sleep and eat, and wherever you go as it may be the last time you would ever sleep, eat or go somewhere if someone connected to the guy you had divorced really is coming after you in retaliation or seeking retribution.00|00|0

You know what I have girls in my family telling the exact same shit and my mom could already tell 3 stories of wealthy guys one of them rejected (not even ugly!), willing to pay her education and her livings. If you find me a wealthy woman who's pretty and willing to marry me (and is not the most anyoing person I know) whisper me cause I am single and trust me if this shit exists I ain't divorcing.00|00|0

Even if she's not a troll which for her hope she should wish she'd is. She's not very bright if she thibk her plan would work. No man is gonna marry her without sex and he ain't leaving her everything is he dies, and if he does it'll take years for that to work
We know you're a male user registered as a female. You can say otherwise but your pink account doesn't prove otherwise. ;)21|10|0
If you don't plan to have sex with him, marry a guy in his 80s or 90s... that way if you're able to work up your magic he may give the entire estate to you when you'll die... also it's easier getting checks once you have kids with him, so maybe you have to rethink that no sex part10|10|0
sorry I meant when *he'll die
I didn't bother reading this, fail attempt at troll21|10|0
I doubt you will be getting a guy to marry you without having a lot of sex first, especially one smart enough to be rich and has lots of choices in girls, etc. You don't sound very smart if this isn't obvious to you, so I question whether you are actually good looking as you think you are.00|00|0

This is why men should not get married, period.20|20|0
In Florida, you would need to be married approximately 15-20 years before you were entitled to permanent alimony. You would be entitle to half of the assets (and you would be responsible for half of the debts) accumulated during the marriage. However, if you have no intentions of consummating the marriage, he will probably file to have the marriage annulled. Then you get nothing.00|00|0

Inconsistent Voyager: Voyager of the Seas Cruise Review by lasportsnut
Overall Member Rating
Inconsistent Voyager
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
I had a room overlooking the Promenade and loved it. No noise at all (I was in the noise when it happened so it didn't bother my sleep). The room was large and the bed very comfortable and housekeeping outstanding.
I took the shuttles into Dubrovnik(via a tour)and Ravenna. My concern was that anyone from the boat could get on the shuttle going back free as tickets were not checked.
Koper, Ravenna and Bari are nice quaint old towns where you can get great pictures but little else. History is their main existence- beautiful cathedrals, basilicas and many statues. Venice was beautiful and I was told to wear a hat b/c of pigeon droppings. Fortunately when I was in the square many tourists were keeping the pigeons on the ground as they fed them so there were no pigeon bombs to avoid. Walking around Venice was wonderful, hot and at times confusing. I saw what I wanted to see and returned to the ship really happy but somewhat tired.
As a Past Passenger I was afforded the opportunity to relax before dinner in a special lounge that had excellent service. But no one told me where it was and it took me 2 days to find it (Cloud Nine on Deck 14).
The Ice Show was the best entertainment on the boat. All major productions were lip synced. The Beatles presentation was so loud people left well before it was done. I felt the Cruise Director, Mercedes from Argentina, was not good. The Lounge entertainment was excellent especially the gentlemen in the Schooner Bar and the Pig and Whistle Pub. The Promenade shows were good but the crowds were very selfish about allowing everyone to see comfortably. There was a group of children (about 8 of them) who ran uncontrolled throughout all parades colliding with people watching the parades.
On the last night when people wanted and needed to get boarding passes, confirm reservations etc the computer system went down. But Customer Service allowed the passengers to use a computer at the front Desk to get any passes we needed.
Disembarkation was a piece of cake as it usually is on cruise ships but Marco Polo airport is poorly marked for people checking luggage and getting to the right carrier and their ride home. Less

I had a Promenade room overlooking the Promenade. It was like heaven. Big bay-window with a sofa bench so I could sit at the window and look out over the happenings on the Promenade. I had a sofa bed and the usual twins put together to form a queen. Closet space was adequate for me but might have been tight if I had a companion traveling w/m. Drawer space was so tiny I left underwear, T shirts, shorts and sox in my bag until I used them. The bathroom was adequate and very clean. The standard desk was adequate for me. There was a small table in front of sofa bed that probably didn't need to be there as it took up valuable space. I was in Rm. 7609. Oh the noise level in the room- Well can't tell you cause I was down on the Promenade making the noise when it was happening. Not much noise at 2 am on the PromenadeRead All Promenade Stateroom (PR) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Dubrovnik was outstanding and the Wall walk was extremely beautiful if not exhausting from stair climbing and inclines both up and down. I felt I was in good shape but the walk kicked my butt. Fortunately others grew tired and the guide stopped so we could rest occasionally.
Venice was hot but beautiful. Didn't get hustled by vendors or panhandled by locals. The pigeons, though numerous, were grounded by a large group of visitors who were feeding them thus the "Pigeon Bombs" were not dropped on unsuspecting visitors. St. Mark's was beautiful inside and out. The wait at noon was not bad except it was in the sun. Men and women who did not abide by the directions not to wear sleeveless tops, shorts or other non acceptable wear for a church we "rented" a shoal to wear to cover themselves up appropriately.
Winding your way thru alleyways could get confusing but signs on buildings lead you to the Rialto Bridge and back to St. Mark's. Water Taxis were great and you could board w/o a ticket as no one checked you when you boarded.

"Husband on excruciating pain"
About: Royal Preston Hospital Royal Preston Hospital Preston PR2 9HT
Posted by Jayne
My husband was taken in today at 3.30. He has received several doses of morfine and a diagnosis of muscle spasm in his back.To see a grown man cry and practically beg for help was distressing enough.He was moved to ward 14 at 7.30 I left him at 9.30 still crying in pain and I have just phoned now at 11.40 to ask why the doctor has not yet been to see him and my response was (this is the nhs what do you want me to say)?!

Introducing Your New Dashboard
A few months ago, we have arrived at the conclusion that the design and the underlying technology behind our dashboard no longer fits in the future of Gemfury. Since then, we've worked with many of you, our customers, to develop a better way to manage your packages. Today, we're happy to share the product of this collaboration – the new Gemfury Dashboard.
Version Badge for Python and more
Although Gemfury Package Repo is our main vocation, we believe that it's part of our mission to give back to the hacker community through code contribution, guides, and value-add services. So while we are putting the final touches on some major updates to Gemfury, today, I'd like to note a couple of recent improvements that we have made to the Version Badge service.

Kapil Sharma, the King of comedy and the host and producer of Comedy Nights With Kapil, celebrated his 34th birthday yesterday, 2nd April, but unlike the previous year, he chose to celebrate rather privately this time and there was not much revealed to the outside world.
Kapil Sharma's Happy Birthday: Comedy King Turns 16.. Naa, 34!
It is a known fact that Kapil is a very private person and goes an extra mile to keep his private life a secret. Including his love life there is not much known to the outside world about the popular stand-up comedian. While the entire world celebrated Kapil's birthday last year, including Amitabh Bachchan shooting with him on the very same day, there is no noise about his birthday this time around.
While there was one picture of him cutting a birthday cake posted on a micro blogging site, there was nothing else spoken about his special day. Compared to the previous year, Kapil's interaction with the fans has taken a nosedive too. His tight schedule managing his show, film shooting, events, endorsements might be the culprits to blame and though it is exceptionally good that he jam-packed with work, it would have been nicer if he took out more time for his fans like he used to previously.
Anywho, here's wishing the King of comedy yet again and a year full of success.

When he and I locked eyes, nothing else in the world mattered.
He landed on my patio, in the middle of the day, out of the blue, as if having appeared out of thin air. A sauntering walk, shoulders swaying, left to right, left again, like one of those "diddy" characters in the rappers world. Cooler than cool, neither pretty nor ugly, neither sneaky nor fearful, only he couldn't be bothered to walk a straight line, couldn't be bothered, with anything straight or linear.
I wandered briefly if he had jumped down from the hulls of a helicopter, or something equally sky worthy, perhaps the wings of an eagle. But no, his legs seem intact, no rolling around to gather his bearings upon landing either. As soon as he stepped on scene, my whitish gray patio that is, he looked in place, perfectly balanced in his imbalanced walk.
The brown and tan neighborhood was utterly silent. No lovingly hurled insults on speaker phones through the open windows of the Karmichkovs living across the walkway, no industrial sized shop-vac sucking up that last ounce of dust on Michael's patio, not even a heated debate from the Wangs next door on the merits and follies of the current political systems. He and I stared into each others' eyes, and our souls met in the space in between.
The experience left me injured. It turned out he had a hole in his belly, and I never saw it. Not that it would have made a difference. Would I even know what to feed his kind? They are supposed to be omnivores, which should have made things easy. But when the answer is "everything" it often feels like no answer at all. None of these mattered. I didn't know, and didn't make an attempt to feed or rescue him. He sauntered into my flower field and stayed there for a day or two, starving as his fatal wound prevented him from hunting nor gathering. He stared into my eyes as if nothing else in the world mattered, as if the piece of soul hanging in the space between us was the only thing he cared to leave behind, in my care.
Despite of this, I gained no insight into the pain of death by starvation, let alone the pain of an open belly wound. Like all creatures with no voice, he endured it in silence, nothing more than that fixated, beady black eyed stare to remember him by. On the third day, though his eyes remained alive, burning a mark into my mind whenever I turned his way, he had began to smell. I had no choice but to admit to myself something had been terribly wrong with him, and asked for the removal of what had become his decomposing body.
Days and weeks passed, something of him lingered between the rosemary bush and the aloe spears. He was a special animal, the first rat who locked eyes with me, and the last, I hope.

Two Layers Of Filling (Ganache And Smbc) Between Cake Layers
Decorating By drakegore Updated 8 Oct 2010 , 12:03am by TrixieTreats
Can I lay down, between each torted layer, both a ganache frosting (the frosting from the "dble chocolate layer cake" http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Double-Chocolate-Layer-Cake-101275 ) and then smbc on top of the ganache?
will it be a mess?
will they bleed together?
will it make my layers unstable? (not stacking, this is just a 10" round torted into four layers)
i'd love to have the combo of the soft ganache frosting and the smbc between each layer if i can get away with it
I have done this with fruit filling and also american buttercream. I don't use SMBC, but it has been fine when I have done it. I use a thicker ganache, and spread it on the top of the bottm layer, then the next component, then I spread the ganache on the underside of the layer that will be sitting on top...to sandwich it if that makes sense... So, cake, ganache, buttercream, ganache, cake
It is a little slick, but if you dam appropriately, especially since it is a single tier, I think it will be fine. It is a great way to combine flavors and textures and looks pretty when cut. It should stay fairly separate unless you are using a ganache that is looser...
Sounds yummy...

It has consistently been the position of the government that we recognise the importance of the technological advancements and their potential in moving our country forward.
We've maintained that information-sharing via the electronic web, or as it is alternatively cyberspace has revolutionised our world and the way in which we interact with each other. It has brought exciting opportunities in developing our economies, improving our health care, education, agricultural production, the provision of services to name but a few.
These opportunities are endless.
Electronic computing and communication does, however, bring with it some of the most complex challenges the world has ever faced. They range from protecting the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information to deterring any compromise which could have devastating consequences for individuals, companies and governments.
At the individual level untold suffering is experienced as a result of cyber bullying, phishing, young girls being lured by sex pests posing as "blessers", defamation of character and others. The extent of this is not known as many choose not to report their harrowing experiences.
In addition, the upsurge in "fake news" and "photo-shopping" of pictures to create a negative narrative that affects individuals and organisations alike adds another alarming dimension.
Corporates have not been spared either, with billions of rands being lost through cybercrime and cyber espionage. More often than not, the net effect of such incidents is largely not being communicated for a variety of reasons which could range from potential reputational damage to loss in share value.
Last year alone, a number of critical government databases throughout the world, which hold millions of personal records and sensitive information were subjected to hacking. Such attacks, if successful, can bring untold catastrophe to governments around the world. South Africa has not been spared this either.
Read also: EU privacy proposal could dent Facebook
When we consider all these events, from a personal to corporate and government perspective, I am confident we will all agree that not everyone who traverses cyberspace does so with the noblest intentions such as promoting development, economic growth or good relations amongst people. There are those who have nefarious intentions and sadly they are slowly but surely plying their trade.
It is against this background that the government has sought to comprehensively deal with measures to secure our cyberspace and to create the necessary conditions for individuals, corporates and the government to do their business with increased security in place.
The Cybercrime and Cybersecurity Bill is but one measure the government is introducing to deal with this phenomenon. It is a legal framework which will help secure our cyberspace better. It is therefore incumbent on all of us to participate in the processing and finalisation of this bill by parliament in this current year.
The views I expressed around social media and dealing with "fake news" and other negative narratives must also be viewed against this background. Social media is but one of the sub-sets of bigger cyberspace infrastructure.
I have noted that some have expressed an uneasiness with our involvement in what they consider to be an area that should be foreign to us. Perhaps it's worthwhile to remind readers that in 2013 the cabinet approved a Cybersecurity Policy Framework for the government and charged the State Security Agency with the mandate to co-ordinate the government's response to this area of concern.
Since then a great deal of work has taken place with various government departments developing policies that focus on their area of competencies. A number of co-ordinating structures have been set up to manage issues such as training and development of home-grown solutions.
The launch of the Cyber Centre by the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services, working together with CSIR is one such product of the work done by various government departments.
We were given this co-ordinating responsibility precisely because in terms of our counter intelligence mandate. My department is essentially the security risk manager of SA Inc and therefore we cannot sit idly by when the advancement in technology present both opportunities and threats which we have to appraise the government of.
We have real work to do in ensuring that South Africans have only positive experiences whenever they do their business in cyberspace, in all its facets. We have a collective responsibility to find home-grown solutions to the challenges we face.
While we can differ on the approach we must be united in one thing; a safe and secure cyberspace is a non-negotiable.
David Mahlobo is Minister of State Security.

"My experience at the eye hospital"
About: Queen's Medical Centre / Ophthalmology Queen's Medical Centre Ophthalmology NG7 2UH
Posted by Aspire786 (as ),
When the bleeding occured at the back of my eye, I was seen on the same day. I thought this was one of the best things about how I was treated. But there is always a long wait. I don't mind waiting but a more accurate appointment time would make my childcare easier to arrange. The hospital should improve on this to make it better for the patients. I felt angry at first that I was "watchfull waiting" as no treatment was given. I felt my sight was getting worse, however I am now being given treatment so the issue has been resolved. I would like to thank everyone at the eye clinic. Their help and treatment over the last five yers has been invaluable, in particular Mr. Arrowaku, Mr. Browning, Mr. Foss and Mr. Tyldsey as well as all the nurses involved.

Jennifer Lawrence Won the Super Bowl with this 'X-Men' Trailer
Mutants > Football.
Most Popular
Other than being a platform for Beyoncé's world domination, the Super Bowl was basically an excuse for everyone to feast on chicken wings and watch commercials—including the trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse.
The 43-second trailer stars Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, and also features Jennifer Lawrence (aka shape-shifting Mystique) getting choked by Apocalypse.

The movie looks just as epic as you'd expect considering its cast includes Sansa Stark and Katniss Everdeen, so check out the trailer below.

The Wild Goose is the machine of choice for the highly-trained assassin, Pico. It was originally designed to be a machine of war by a high-ranking sergeant in the Polipoto army: Sergeant Lipo. Belonging to the organization known as Death Window, located on the planet Death Wind, Lipo designed this craft to withstand heavy enemy fire and persist against constant attacks with the ability to reach top speeds of over 900 km/h. After the heated battles amongst the Polipoto army had dissolved, the Wild Goose was retired from it's original military duties and enlisted as an F-Zero machine after it's structural and speed potential was recognized by the F-Zero Committee. Since this machine was designed for Polipotans, it can only be driven by this species and no other, which is how Pico ended up it's official pilot, wishing to enter the F-Zero after becoming a full-time assassin-for-hire following the war's end on his planet. This particular machine has marvelous acceleration and body power, but greatly lacks in the handling and boost departments.

The Wild Goose makes several appearances in the game. It appears as a collectible trophy with its pilot, Pico. In addition, the machine can be seen racing on the Mute City stage.

The Wild Goose returns once again in F-Zero U, and has been tweaked to feature the tremendous acceleration that it had in both F-Zero, and F-Zero X, but lacked in F-Zero GX.

So I just want to know what you guys would do in my current situation. I'm on my breaking point and exhausted. I'm taking 5 classes at college and I'm working full time, My schedule leaves no room for anything at all and its a bit much (i think).
But here are my options, I either stick it out and have no time and be exhausted for a full semester, or I drop one or two classes and go an extra semester at school. I am currently a senior and if i just stick it out i will be done my BS in April of next year. I'm not sure if i should stick it out and just get mediocre grades because of no time or drop the classes leaving more time but costing me more money at school and less time at getting paid for having my BS degree.
Thanks in advance.

I'm in my second year of a D.Sc. (Doctor of Science) programing and I feel your pain! I work full time as well as going to school full time. I have to take classes AND start my thesis this semester so I have zero time. I went into the D.Sc. right from a Master's program so I am in mt 3rd year of going at it full blast.
I'd say suck it up and finish....however of you feel like you're going to burn out or if your health is starting to suffer then back off.
i wouldn't worry too much about grades, i've never had an empolyer ask to see my grades. I was an okay student as an undergrad, less than a 3.0. i was still able to get into a master's program where i kicked it with a 4.0 which allowed me to get into the D.Sc. (3.85 so far)
The undergrad is the hardest degree to get due to the time, once you get past that you'll be glad you put the effort in. keep it up and if you need any help drop me a line.
Good luck!
Sep 23, 2011 at 7:03 UTC
Thanks for the advice. ya i think i have a 3.1 or something right now due to time constraints but i know if i had more time id be right up in the 3.8-4.0 range.
So employers really don't look at grades at all? I thought your first job after college they normally do look but maybe I'm mistaken. if that is the case maybe i should just stick it out and get what I get.
Sep 23, 2011 at 8:10 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
No self respecting employer will ever ask about grades. That's a universal sign of a failing IT department and HR filtering people. Lots of horrible companies do that but none that you should care about.
Sep 23, 2011 at 8:18 UTC
Hey I'm in the same situation. Full time student and worker. I'm sticking it out because I want to graduate in May, I'm not going to waste an extra semester with school, I'm going to get out of here.
Sep 23, 2011 at 8:21 UTC
Grades may not matter to the employer (at least they shouldn't), but if you wish to go back to college for a Masters or even a Doctorates degree - your GPA will affect whether or not you can get in.
I had a friend that graduated with a GPA of 2.3 (most of his classes were low C's), and he wanted to go back for a Masters, but the college required a GPA of 2.5 or higher. I guess he could re-take some older classes and pass with better grades to raise his GPA (I dont know how it works).
Bottom Line: Do it right the first time!
I personally went to college part-time. Yeah, it took about 10 years - but I stuck with it and finally graduated. It was a lot less stressful. I have a good GPA. And I also had time to gain some work-experience in an IT position for a small company.
Sep 23, 2011 at 8:48 UTC
Over the years I have had positions that paid none to a ton and I am here to tell you the whole point of life is to live it!
If the situation is really getting to you make a plan to finish and then drop a class or two, but stick to your plan and get back to class when you originally planned to. Sure it is ok to slow down a bit but at the same time you are planning the rest of you life.
Sep 23, 2011 at 8:54 UTC
I think I would do the best I could to just stick it out and get it over with. Think about how good it will feel in April to know that you are done.
Sep 23, 2011 at 10:46 UTC
I also was a full time student and had a full time job.. also a full time single parent.. I know how you feel!!!
I would say to stick it out and get it over with. My last day of college was the one of the best days of my life! haha! It feels so good to be done! no more homework, no more tests, and best of all, more free time!
i would definitely knock it out this semester and get that degree!
Sep 23, 2011 at 2:01 UTC
Truthfully, it will probably be your body that makes the decision for you. I'd do the extra semester just to keep from getting sick.
Sep 23, 2011 at 7:33 UTC
If you think you're about to break, take the extra semester. You can recover from an extra semester quickly. I might take years to recover from a health breakdown.
Sep 26, 2011 at 11:20 UTC
Brand Representative for ExamForce
I think John has it right. My first thought was to gut it out, but that can be recipe for disaster. Thinking big picture, you need to do what is best for your overall health and well-being. Adding a semester to take some pressure off would likely be good in a number of ways, not the least just reducing stress, which is a killer.
Either way, stay focused. You can see the finish line but you aren't in a race so all you really need to do is make sure you get there standing up.
Sep 27, 2011 at 8:03 UTC
I say stick it out I finished my Bachelors working full time and going to school full time. It's worth it. Work two full time jobs now and considering going back to school for my Masters now. But it is a lot of money.
Sep 27, 2011 at 9:37 UTC
That's a tough schedule. If you feel like the stress is going to be too much i would definitely extend it another semester.
Sep 28, 2011 at 1:58 UTC
Stick through it you will be happier sooner than later. taking an extra semester will just add to your student debt and prolong the diploma process. that being said I feel your pain. I am in a new position that is WAY harder than I was before and am taking 12 hours of classes and it's killing me. I can't imagine 15. good luck and stick with it!!
Oct 9, 2011 at 6:56 UTC
If you think you're about to break, take the extra semester. You can recover from an extra semester quickly. I might take years to recover from a health breakdown.
This. So true.
Oct 10, 2011 at 11:00 UTC
I concur that if you think you need a break - take it now. There is always a reason to put off time for yourself, but right now you really do have more options than you will appear to after you have been hired somewhere, start a family, buy a house, etc.
Smell the roses while you can.
And Scott is right; it's not that grades don'e matter at all, but I'd rather have an applicant who had a straight "C" average but knew how to work than I would one with a 4.0 average but thinks that getting to work by 8AM is rally pushing the envelope.
May 18, 2012 at 3:23 UTC
Depends, Do you have a job lined up? If not take 3 classes this semester and 2 the next or v.v. Going to school for 2 semesters but half the time and work put into it may be easier for you if you just want a break.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

For Hugh the dilemma is intensified by the contrast between their lives: Tom is tormented by flashbacks, jobless, with a broken marriage and two children he hardly sees; Hugh with what he regards as a blessed existence, a rewarding life as a jobbing solicitor and an intensely happy marriage to Lizzie, with whom he has two adopted children: Lou is away on her gap year, and fragile, sensitive Charlie who seems to have overcome his personal demons.
Then one night Hugh's life changes for ever. His happiness is snatched away, and he, like Tom, must face a lifetime of troubling memories.

Arizona has extra week to shake off another failed comeback
TEMPE, Ariz. -- If the Arizona Cardinals had better starts, those dramatic finishes wouldn't be necessary.
After another close-but-not-quite effort on Sunday at Washington, Arizona first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt thinks his players finally are getting the message.
"The one encouraging thing is I hear a lot of players talking about that," Whisenhunt said Monday, "especially after yesterday's game."
Arizona trailed 21-6 against the Redskins before rallying, but Neil Rackers' 55-yard attempt for the winning field goal at the finish was a few feet too far left and the Cardinals lost 21-19.
Arizona, 3-4 overall, is 1-3 on the road. Those three losses came by three at San Francisco, three at Baltimore and two at Washington.
In the first quarter through seven games, the Cardinals have not scored a touchdown and have been outscored 30-6. By contrast, Arizona has outscored opponents 71-47 in the fourth quarter.
"We're not starting the games fast enough, obviously," Whisenhunt said. "Some of it may be the calls we're making, or maybe it's just continuing to work on the mental aspect of it."
On Sunday, Arizona had to overcome Kurt Warner's two early interceptions, both of which led to touchdowns.
"We basically spotted them 14 points," Warner said.
But the veteran quarterback went 27-of-41 for 282 yards with two touchdowns despite wearing a bulky brace to protect a torn ligament in his non-throwing elbow. Because of the injury, Whisenhunt said, the game plan was designed for Warner to avoid handing off to his right.
The Cardinals have a bye this week before playing at Tampa Bay on Nov. 4. The extra time should help Warner, who came through his first one-armed effort relatively unscathed.
"It seemed like he felt OK," Whisenhunt said. "I talked to him coming back on the airplane last night and there was no mention of him being uncomfortable, and he certainly took some shots yesterday and came through it well. I think two weeks from now he will obviously be feeling better."
Arizona also might get linebacker Karlos Dansby back for the Buccaneers game. Dansby missed Sunday's contest with an injured left knee.
The Cardinals lost starting left tackle Mike Gandy to a right calf injury on Sunday. Rookie Levi Brown moved from right tackle to Gandy's left spot. Elton Brown moved in at right tackle. Whisenhunt said he was unsure how long Gandy might be sidelined.
Despite the 3-4 record, the coach was upbeat about his team's chances through the rest of the season.
"We were in a couple of situations where people had written us off, certainly in Baltimore and I know our first half yesterday, especially when it was 21-6," Whisenhunt said. "But our team kept fighting and we had a chance to win both of those games at the end."
In Sunday's wild finish, the Cardinals put wide receiver Anquan Boldin in the backfield for a direct snap on an attempt for a game-tying 2-point conversion. But Boldin's pass toward Larry Fitzgerald was well short and picked off by LaRon Landry.
Still, Arizona recovered the subsequent onside kick and moved into position for Rackers' field goal try.
Whisenhunt said from the outset he wanted to develop a tough, smart team. He's at least halfway there. The Cardinals committed several costly penalties on Sunday.
"Physically, we're playing tough, we're playing hard," Whisenhunt said. "The hardest thing to do is to eliminate those penalties, to be smarter and play better earlier in the game. But if we can keep the same physical style that we're playing and clean some things up, I think we're going to be a pretty good football team over the last nine games."

So I like this guy, and we don't hang out this often. I know I like him A LOT. I have never dated anybody before so I don't know what it's supposed to be like. When I'm around him I don't get butterflies. I look into his eyes, no butterflies. It all just feels neautral to me. Am I supposed to feel this way? We don't hang out this much so I thought since I'm not used to being around him it would happen. And I k ow for sure that I really like him. So why don't I feel anything? I also have depression so do you think that could affect it?
Is it normal to feel nothing?

It's okay if you don't get butterflies, butterflies is just another word for nerves. You may be totally comfortable around him, and that's totally okay!11|00|0
Maybe you don't like him as much as you think you do.00|00|0
I know for sure that I really like him though. I do get tongue tied around him and a little nervous but I don't get that feeling of butterflies and.. That weird feeling in the chest. You know?
