What is love? Well...

Or alternatively,

kinda surprised it took that long to be posted

So I have a friend getting married (already happened as a destination wedding) and the reception is back here in the states. How much do I gift in cash on top of a gift I made? (I blow glass and made her and her husband a wine carafe.)

also should i go for legendary status and bang the bride (we've got history, I know she'd be down)

And that whole dying thing has been one of my biggest reasons I've never loved anyone before. I've done exactly that. Kick them to the Curb before I do or when I get that feeling I don't have much time left and I've had long discussions with my current girlfriend about that. She's a Nurse with Crones so she's pretty understanding but I still feel like shit knowing that if this does continue for some time that I will hurt her badly.

Haven't you heard "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"? An approach to life should not be full of "what ifs", because, while some things are more probable than others, nothing is ever really certain. Don't push away people who want to be with you just because you're afraid of hurting them. Love especially should be about "now" rather than "later" (although birth control is still a good idea, you know...bare minimum planning is usually a good idea >_> ). Looking back at lost love, for someone who has truly loved someone else without any bitterness attached, is a warm feeling, even if it hurts that the loved person is no longer with them.

Incidentally I was just reading this: "Many people...seem simply not to understand love, burden its beauteous simplicity with preconceived notions and unrealistic expectations. Honest love is a selfless concept..."

If it's love, you ought to know it, and embrace it. It really is very simple. The only thing that might complicate the extension of that love (dating and what have you) might be, um... if she's already with another guy? lol XD

The playlist bar should be at the bottom, and near the bottom left should be two buttons next to each other. The one that looks like a circle is the "Turn autoplay on/off" button. Click it so that it's not pressed in.

No, it's not anymore. I turned that particular playlist thing off several months ago. This is what the new thing looks like:


I tried clicking on the word "Playlist" on the top left corner, and nothing happened. The other three buttons on the right don't do anything either, except I guess I can shuffle my favorites if I want to ...

I also looked through settings and help, nothing, and Googled the shit out of it. Does YouTube really think I want this shitty feature?



I do like how it makes it easier for me to go from one favorite to the next, but why do my favorites have to be a playlist, and why can't they just be my favorite videos like they were before?

It's pointless to over-analyze emotions unless you see value in always ending up at:

She's a Nurse with Crones so she's pretty understanding but I still feel like shit knowing that if this does continue for some time that I will hurt her badly.

She is on my mind a lot and I greatly enjoy being with her. She makes me happy and isn't intimidated about me or my angry personality. She seems to like my humor a lot and I can tell she has very strong feelings for me. Neither of us have said "Love" to eachother yet but that's only because I expressed my concerns about that word. I don't believe "Love" should be tossed around like so many early couples do and it should first be said when both parties do love eachother.(Aren't I a fucking romantic). And yes, even after all those ever so romantic discussions, she still wants to be with me.

But this is why I'm asking. I have no idea what love is or even how to approach it.

It really depends on how selfish you want to be. I don't mean that in a bad way, everyone deserves to be happy. You want to experience interpersonal relationships, and that is absolutely reasonable. It's unfortunate that your time is cut short, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't experience what you are entitled too. I don't think you should worry about whether or not you love someone, but you should just enjoy the relationships you have. Love is relative. The degree of love really varies, and there is no dissection of it to determine quantity or potency. Just be happy, don't look back. Some people find love a lot sooner than others. It's a trial and error that can take any amount of time. You have a drastically shortened time here, and you should just enjoy it without second guessing yourself. I don't know if this helps at all, but it's what I got. Me personally, I feel like love is when you get frustrated with yourself when you can't find the words or actions to describe your feelings towards someone because there isn't a word or action that satisfies that goal. There are times when I would say "I love you", and become frustrated that I know they can't understand what that means to me.

This is best description of that word, the one you can't seem to find, that I've ever heard( or read).

Hey kids, how would you search for if someone has a felony? And not have to pay anything to those freaking shady websites?

[Cream Soda]

I'm not sure about whatever state you're in, but I'm sure they'd have something like this (this one is Florida)

http://dc.state.fl.us/InmateReleases...onID=480968919

Meet my uncle by the way lol

For that site it's just prison though. My county jail has its own site as well for local arrests

ik if 6souls even checks GD, let alone the RQT, but since hes the go-to for all the movie scoop, whats going on with boondock saints 3, if anything?!

[Apelila]

It's Texas, and all the county sites I've looked at are about as well designed as a 1996 geocities page. Ideally I'm looking for whatever all those "Free background check lol pay us 30$" sites pull from.

[Aksannyi]

At work we pull up the particular county and run them through there. For example:

http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/PublicIn...ArrestInquiry/

This is information that we need on a regular basis, so I'm constantly on this type of site looking up people's priors. If its a county we don't have a link for (we are expanding), I usually google "_______ County Sheriff's Office" and go to their main page. If I can't find anything for that looks like "arrest records" or "arrest inquiry" or "prior arrest" or anything similar, I go back to google and add "_______ County Sheriff's Office Arrest" and it will usually come up.

Some counties will be limited on what you can find, though. Volusia, I believe, only lets you search inmates who are currently in prison. Some sites will not allow you to search for warrants but will show an arrest history. Etc. But usually googling the county Sheriff's Office will do, failing that, you can attempt individual jurisdictions, though I'll be honest, I don't even know if (for example) Tampa Police has a search database, since HCSO encompasses all of that and we've always just searched through there.

Hope that helps.




Keep in mind that as this is public record, anything done as a juvenile won't show up, so if your target is under 18, don't even bother.

This would be your problem then I guess? I can't even figure out how to make my favorites/likes look like yours. Why'd you turn it off?

I mean I turned off the autoplay on it. I can't stand autoplay. The bar would (before) still be there on the bottom of the screen but it was always in the "off" position.

Basically what happened is I accidentally logged out of YouTube, then when I logged back in, the format had changed and now my favorites look like this. If I had not logged out I can only assume that it would be the way it was before. I am really mad now that I did that. And nothing I can find anywhere shows me how to turn the autoplay feature off.
