Should I chase him or should I play "The Game"?

I am not shy and very upfront. I met a man online and we chatted and texted and talked and then he asked to meet me. We met and it was completely cool -- so much in common like obscure music and books, same thoughts on faith and politics. He kissed me when we parted and continues to text me every so often and Facebook me. I want to chase him -- he occupies my thoughts daily. Honestly, should I chase or play The Game of waiting for him to make the move? Is it desperate and stalker-ish to chase him? Should I ask him directly what his intentions are with me? I am too old to feel like I am being played but there has got to be something there. He does and says things that make me think he is interested. Or am I fooling myself?

Christians say that Jesus had to shed His blood for our sins to be forgiven. What if we hadn't killed Him?

God's perfect justice required a perfect sacrifice to atone for humankind's sins. Trouble was, we couldn't supply that sacrifice from among ourselves, because we humans are all sinners (imperfect). So God, in His great love and mercy, sent His own beloved, perfect, sinless Son to take on Himself the penalty for our sins.

Will a male dog not poop in a yard because a female dog is in heat?

Before everyone starts making nasty comments & asking me irrelevant questions. My female dog is in her second heat cycle and she will be breed once. They are both pure bred with Champion Lines. Yes I do know about bred, the money, responsibility & risk it takes. My cousin breeds pure bred dogs, that is where I got both of my dogs from, not they are not related, yes they will have all testing done before breeding. However, my dogs are kept in the home & not out in a kennel, therefore there are things that I will experience that she doesn't because of the constant contact with my dogs. Now for the question... I know its normal for a male dog to not eat for a few days when a female is in the climax of her heat cycle, however, is it normal for him to not want to poop in the yard where my female also uses the bathroom. He did not poop for almost two days even though I spent hours & hours outside with him trying to get him to use the bathroom. He is still eating regularly (for now) and was not bloated. He only wanted to "smell" my female, kept walking everywhere she walked & tried licking the spots she urinated. My husband took him outside by himself (we almost always walk them together) and he still walked around sniffing & whining, then he took him into the open field area behind our house about 25-50 ft out back & still he just paced & whined. Finally I bundle up very warmly & walked him 3-4 blocks away at the little fenced-in doggy park. We go there all the time & she had not been there in a few days so I figured her scent would not be so strong & "distracting" to him. As soon as we go there, I took off his leash, he ran, found a spot & pooped 5 times. He usually poops twice, mostly because he likes to poop a little, move a few paces then poop again. Is this something that anyone else has experienced. I have heard people suggest getting a water bottle with a little bleach & spraying the spot where she goes to the bathroom will take away the smell. Is there anything else I could do or should I just keep walking him by himself to the park every night?

Can you please, help me with this?

Ok, my best friend lost her mother 5 years ago. They were very close and it was a huge loss for her. I tried to help her a lot. She liked it at first until last year that I appeared uninvited for her mother's death anniversary. I just went to her city and emailed her that I was there if she needed me. She didn't like it at all. I apologized. I thought it'd be nice. I would like someone do that for me. Now, for this year's anniversary that they celebrate, she just took a vacation and went away. Is she that mad at me because of it? I don't want to complain but last year she warmly thanked everybody who remembered her mother except me! I had done the most. I kept emailing her because we live far away, I wrote all calming words and everything. Anyway, this year, should I send an email just a few sentences of sympathy? And then what? Why is she aviding me like plague at this time but generally, she tells me to keep in touch with her and gets worried if I don't email her. How do you deal with such a difficult person?

Is Israeli treatment of Palestinian prisoners in accordance with the international law?

Its been stated that at present Israel are holding over 9,000 prisoners many young children imprisoned for throwing stones at the IDF This must be against human rights . Do Israel, as occupiers, have the right to imprison anyone, not to mention the 1.5 million imprisoned in the Gaza strip As for Gilad Shalit he is just a prisoner of war and when a satisfactory peace deal is agreed by both parties he will be released . He will be a major factor when they finally sit down and try to arrange some kind of deal

Can you help me define the meaning of occupancy on a lease in the state of Minnesota?

I have a situation where I am trying to limit the amount of time my roommate can have his girlfriend spend the night. On my lease it says "OCCUPANCY AND USE: No person other than those listed above as Resident may occupy the Apartment without the prior written approval of Management. Resident agrees to use the apartment and utilities only for ordinary residential purposes and not in any way that would cause excessive utility use, excessive wear and tear, or damage. Resident agrees that this lease cannot be assigned or the apartment sublet by resident without the prior written consent of Management." I know that my landlord will stand up for what I say because of all the other problems we have had with this roommate. What I want to know is how often could his girlfriend spend the night at our house, by law, without it being considered occupancy? I don't want to destroy my roommate's life. I just want there to be a fair and lawful limit because otherwise I know it will get extremely excessive. Also, is there a law that states that his girlfriend cannot be at the house unless he is here? I really appreciate ANY help you can offer! I have spent hours trying to look up the laws in the Minnesota legislature to no avail.

What can I do to stop these bogus collection calls?

I've learned that if my caller ID doesn't show a name and number of the caller, or one of either that I can clearly identify, I just don't answer the phone. Yeah, they love to harass you, but, even they eventually get tired of calling and having no answer. It'll take a while maybe, but it's worth beating them at their own game. God Bless you.
