I'm a guy, and I have this friend whos a girl, and she seems upset and depressed latley. I care about her, and im a little concerned. My main focuc is whenever i try to comfort her (when i try to hug her) she sorta pulls away. I dont think that its something i did, but does anybody have any advise, preferably from girls?
she never has been to fond of hugging, but latly she seems to be especially protective.
Pleez no dirty minds
Answers from girls would be helpful
My friend is depressed (not b/c of me) but she pulls away when i try to hug her?
There are ways to comfort her without touching her. Talking, looking into her eyes, showing you're there for her. When people are depressed, they want to be left alone. Their minds are working so hard that any kind of affection makes them uncomfortable. It's like having a toothache, it hurts so badly, but you don't want to be around anyone, you just want to be left alone to deal with the pain. Don't force it on her, she'll resent you for it and you may loose her. Just be there, and let her know that you are.
Reply:slap her up side the head and tell her to get her marbels in order life is waiting for her and needs her tuch
Reply:Usually when that happens, they may be afraid of physical touch, by a guy. haha. i know i was that way at first, i was scared to be hugged / touched by a guy. but once i got comfortable around that person, then it got easier.
just tell her the truth, make her comfortable, but dont get to close to fast, that could be bad.
Reply:hhmmm...evry girl goes threw that stage it just means that she think u are crushing on her and she needs somespace!
Good luck!
Reply:are you sure she does not have feeling for you. she could just be trying to get over you, i kno if it was me and i liked you i sure would not want to be hug by a person i like. just let her be for a while
Reply:It may be as simple as the fact that she just doesnt like physical contact. Its a defense mechanism. Be there for her, but dont touch her unless she is comfortable with it.
Reply:She proably heard a rumor that yous to r going out.
Reply:maybe she doesn't want to be touched. sometimes when you're in a bad mood you just want to be left alone. don't baby her, just ask her what's wrong and try to relate.
Reply:It is possible that something happened to her recently to make her especially protective. Send her a card, saying that you're thinking about her, that you care and want to be there for her, as her friend. Don't push to try to get her to talk; let her do so in her own time.
Reply:When people are depressed or distanced themselves, the last thing they want is physical contact. Give her space and tell her that you're there for her, to listen and talk to whenever she's ready to.
Reply:you are doing what you are suppose to do as a good friend just keep trying to be there for her but you should also get to the root of the problem that way you can help her better.

My friend is having an elective c section. why?
it's her first baby, she's 32, the baby weighs only 5 lb and she's due this week. i asked her why in an email and she chose not to respond. what are some reasons why one would want an elective c-section?
My friend is having an elective c section. why?
Nothing is wrong with that, don't knock it until you tried it. I prefer a c-section over vaginal because I don't know if I could have pushed my babies out like that.
Reply:well most doctors will not do an elective c section unless you go private and have lots of money to pay for it or maybe there is a good medical reason for it for instance if the woman has herpes then she can pass it off o the child so they will do one then incase the trama causes and outbreak and passes it on etc
Reply:Because she is a chicken sh**. That is so lame if you ask me, don't get pregnant if you can't handle giving birth.
Reply:sounds like she dont want to go through labor and that is the easy ticked out
Reply:You obviously have not been pregnant - or maybe yo had one of those easy no complication pregnancies...
I do not agree with elective c-sections (because it is a surgery) but if I could I would have elective inducement the day i turned 37 weeks ...
The last 2-3 months of being pregnant are hard as hell on the body, your tired, have heartburn , cant sleep, you get puffy hands and feet, it hurts to walk, roll over in bed, get in and out of bed, sit down or stand up - you look like a walking house, you feel like a cow, i feel sickly everyday - I'm tired, cranky, one minute i am hot the next i am freezing, i can pee every 20 minutes and that after holding it for 10 minutes and feeling like i am gonna pee my pants any second..my knees hurt, my hips hurt, my crotch hurts...every couple of hours I have my babies head bounce off of my cervix (which is very very very painful)
Who wouldn't want to have that over as soon as possible if they can...
Hope that helps
Reply:Elective C-sections are on the rise and why anyone chooses one is completely their own business. If your friend refuses to answer your question of why she is, then leave it alone. She may be too embarassed to tell you the true reason why she is taking this route for the delivery of her baby or she may think it a private matter that only she and and her doctor discussed. No matter the reason(s) just be happy for your friend that she is becoming a mother.
Reply:Maybe there is a medical reason and she is afraid and not telling everyone.
Don't be so quick to judge.
I have 15 year old twins and a 7 month old and I am pregnant again.
I chose to have a 2nd c-section instead of trying to deliver........and I am going to have a 3rd. It's my business - and it's your friends business too.
Reply:Umm..... I begged for a c-section the 2nd time around. First of all, anyone who wants to say women are crazy or stupid for wanting one have obviously never experienced the joy of having their 8 pound, 11 ounce baby's head stuck (you know where) for over two hours, pressing down on a nerve and causing pain like you wouldn't believe. Oh yes, I had an epidural but as it turns out, sometimes the epidural can make u hyper-sensitive. So, after two hours of the worst pain EVER I have the M.D. tell me if I don't push him out soon, they will need to use the vacuume. I was well informed and knew that it can cause brain damage, so hey!! new stress.
Then, when I finally did push him out (after 19 hours of labor, mind you and over two hours of strenous pushing) I had a pain so bad in my vagina that I had to sit on ice packs for weeks. It barely touched the pain, even with the Percocet.
Anyway - after that I began to lose control of my bowels. Yup - whenever they felt like it, they came. #2 was the biggest problem. I am 29 now, my son is 5 and I am in need of surgery to have my bladder tied up.
I loved my C-section and would do it again in a heartbeat!!!! The first was so traumatic!!
So, give her a break. Maybe she doesn't want you to know she craps herself........you never know.....
Reply:i dont know but i think they are crazy it takes longer to recover and its harder to get the stomach muscles back into shape
Reply:I dont know. I had a c-section but it medically necessary. I am surprised her doctor is allowing her to have a c-section if it is not medically necessary. The baby is very very small if he/she only weights 5 lbs and she is 40 weeks though.
Reply:it depends on whether the C-section is for maternal request or whether there is an actual medical reason, as the baby is small. Placental dysfuction, where the placenta is not functioning well %26amp; therefore the baby would become distrssed if labour was induced, gential herpes ( risk to baby being born naturally), breech position or other abnormal position. Don't keep harping at her for a reason, she may not know, ot want to discuss it with u.
Reply:Possible reasons are 1)Onset of pregnancy after long time of marriage 2)Fear that i will not conceive if pregnancy will lose this time 3)Listenings about the death/deaths of someone during normal delivery,especially of some relative or beloved one. 3) Risk of death of the baby due to conversion of normal delivery to emergency C-SECTION.
Reply:some do it to 'schedule' the birth at a convenient time. some don't want to get stretched out, if you know what i mean. with her, who knows.
Reply:Maybe its has to do with a personal medical reason she doesnt want to disclose to you. Im with you I would not elect to have a c-section.
Reply:Maybe she has some kind of STD...like herpes that could be transmitted to the baby when it's born naturally and she doesn't want to tell you that...it's delicate...
I understand you're probably concerned why would she want to do something like that...but there could be more than one reason why she's not saying it.
I am so AFRAID of the pain I have thought of a c section but I also have not had any surgeries EVER, so I don't want to damage my body like that, unless it's totally necessary.
Reply:She is probably too afraid of going through with labor and doesn't want to admit she is scared. She may have heard a horror story or two about those women who labor for 48 hours straight then have an emergency c because the baby or the mom is in danger. Who knows. Is she a close friend? I don't see why she wouldn't tell you if she was a good friend. I don't see what the big deal would be in admitting her fears. I think we were all scared at some point that we wouldn't be able to handle it. I am scared now and I have already gone natural for my first! lol Don't listen to the others who say its "her business" like you are being some busy-body. While it IS her business and her decision, you being pregnant are just trying to get as much information about delivering (maybe she knows of some risks that you don't know about).... Congratulations and good luck!
Reply:Fear of pain or the birth itself?
Reply:There are many medical reasons for this to be done, and if she doens't want to share this info with you, you should accept that. She's probably pretty stressed about it too. Maybe she'll tell you after the baby is born.
Reply:Maybe, there is something she is uncomfortable about wanting to share with you. It's her body and her choice, she will need your help after the surgery, just be a loving friend to her and be there for her.
My sister had 3 C_ sections, not by choice, her pelvis was shattered when she was 6, another friend who also was in her early 30's had one and got her tubes tied.
To each his own.
Just love her after all she's your friend.
Reply:She's probably just afraid of the actual birthing process, but she should know that C-Sections are much worse. It takes much longer to recover, and there's a lot more recovery pain. A lot of women completely lose feeling in that little bit where they cut. She may be afraid of *pardon me for saying this* losing vaginal elasticity...she might be afraid that sex won't feel the same.
Reply:if it's truly elective (for non medical reasons) the only reason to do it is convenience. maybe her partner is going out of town, maybe she wants the baby born a certain day.
i dunno. but it's not the smartest decision, imo. c-sections are VERY risky for the mom and risky to even the healthiest of babies.
"A cesarean section poses documented medical risks to the mother's health, including infections, hemorrhage, transfusion, injury to other organs, anesthesia complications, psychological complications, and a maternal mortality two to four times greater than that for a vaginal birth.
An elective cesarean section increases the risk to the infant of premature birth and respiratory distress syndrome, both of which are associated with multiple complications, intensive care and burdensome financial costs. Even mature babies, the absences of labor increases the risk of breathing problems and other complications.
Cesareans can delay the opportunity for early mother-newborn interaction, breastfeeding and the establishment of family bonds.
Cesarean sections are sometimes performed for other than maternal or fetal well-being, such as avoidance of patient pain, patient or provider convenience, provider legal concerns or provider financial incentives. "

Reply:i am a painting contractor and the person who suggested using binz was on the right track....I would suggest an even better primer called X-I-M ...it is about 50 dollrs a gallon but it will give you the adhesion you will need to bond to the pvc, if you use the x-i-m you will be able to use any paint for a topcoat you want but i would suggest an industrial enamel...Valspar makes a good one.good luck

My friend has backed up his C drive to a usb travel drive. He is afraid that Windows XP is not backed up on it
If the C drive fails can the computer be booted from the travel drive?
My friend has backed up his C drive to a usb travel drive. He is afraid that Windows XP is not backed up on it
Unfortunately, no. The C drive failing is like your hard drive failing. In order to re-boot your computer after a hard drive (or C drive failure) you would need to get a new hard drive. Also, I don't believe it's possible to back up the operating system itself, but you could surely backup everything else.
Reply:No, you cannot install XP on a thumb drive without a lot of configuration and setup work. If his hard drive crashes, he will still have to reload the entire system, but at least you'll have copies of any documents, favorites and such backed up.

Reply:There is no way you can make a copy of windows XP.
Reply:The only way to also back up XP is to 'clone' the C: drive onto another HDD using True Image 8 or higher. ~
This will also backup all your programs (on C:) in a useable fashion
Reply:If you backed up all the files which I doubt you did, b/c windows is such a big file. A usb flash drive MOST likely wouldnt be able to hold that. I would suggest an external hard drive. You prolly backed up your files.....not XP
Reply:No, windows is not backed up.
Although its possible to make an .iso of your current windows installation, it is too big to fit on a flash drive, and you have to know what you are doing and use special software to do so.
Also, you have to use bootable media for windows to work. Flash drives are not bootable media.

Friend found out has hepatitis c - what best way to offer support in a letter?
Ok, not sure how to handle this, but what kind of words of encouragement to offer someone who has hepatitis c - i just am having trouble with some of my letter
Friend found out has hepatitis c - what best way to offer support in a letter?
You are a good friend to be supportive at a time like this. So often people step away from their friends because they don't understand the disease, or they have fears of catching that disease. The best thing that you can do is to educate yourself about this so you won't have unnecessary fears.
As for your letter, many people live with hep c and live a normal life. Hep c is a slowly progressing disease (unless someone hurries it along by drinking alcohol or using too many OTC or prescription drugs). It can be managed by a healthy lifestyle, and most importantly, it can be treated. While the treatment is effective in about 50-80%+ of those who take it, even in those that fail treatment, the medication has been shown to histologically improve the condition of the liver. Hep c (HCV) is not a death sentence in most people. Encourage your friend to educate herself/himself so he/she can make the best health care decisions. And let him know you have two internet friends (Bayla and myself) who have cleared the virus on treatment and are living a normal life. Best wishes to you and your friend.
Reply:don't mention the disease directly, but offer your friendship and assurance that you will be there, should the need arise
Reply:I think you should just let her know that you're always going to be there if he/she needs support or feels down and needs an ear.
Let them know that they are strong and brave.
I guess its easier if you know the person .
I'd say write an uplifting letter that hasn't got a, "Oh i feel sorry for you" tone to it.
You just need to let them focus on the good qualities. Positivity is always a good start :) x
Reply:Trish..your a good friend..I have a letter to people from a person with HCV..I'll send it under seperate cover..it may help your g/f with her pals.

While the treatment is effective in about 50-80%+ of those who take it, even in those that fail treatment, the medication has been shown to histologically improve the condition of the liver. Hep c (HCV) is not a death sentence in most people. Encourage your friend to educate herself/himself so he/she can make the best health care decisions. And let him know you have two internet friends (Bayla and myself) who have cleared the virus on treatment and are living a normal life. Best wishes to you and your friend.
Reply:don't mention the disease directly, but offer your friendship and assurance that you will be there, should the need arise
Reply:I think you should just let her know that you're always going to be there if he/she needs support or feels down and needs an ear.
Let them know that they are strong and brave.
I guess its easier if you know the person .
I'd say write an uplifting letter that hasn't got a, "Oh i feel sorry for you" tone to it.
You just need to let them focus on the good qualities. Positivity is always a good start :) x
Reply:Trish..your a good friend..I have a letter to people from a person with HCV..I'll send it under seperate cover..it may help your g/f with her pals.
Reply:friend be a and offer support

My boyfriend was cheating on me w/ my best friend. I dumped but I always c him with my friend. :-(?
You POOR THING.
I usually don't answer questions like this, but I really feel for you.
You know what? DON'T let them get the pleasure of seeing that this bothers you. Just try and ignore them when you see them. You know.. act like you are having a great time.
As for in private, well what can I say. Crying ain't all bad.
Just know that you deserve someone a lot better than him and that one day, you will find him. Let these 2 losers be.. because they DESERVE each other! Don't worry.. their happiness will no doubt be short lived.. Bad Karma. It's the way of the world.
Good Luck Sweetie!

Neither of them have any consideration for your feelings nor respect for your friendship. Find new friends and forget about them. Karma will revisit them...Good Luck
Reply:I don't think that girl is no longer your "friend" if she was a REAL FRIEND she wouldn't of done that to you. Just forget about her and MOVE ON!
Reply:I can see how that bites the big one,especially if they seem happy but that happiness cant last. She isnt special and she,too will get cheated on. Good for you for having enough self respect and sense to ditch him. Theyre are meant for each other the world will unfold as it should.
Reply:stay away from that friend cause she really wasent a friend if she went behind your back. most likely you'll see less of them
Reply:ok be cleaver if you think it is sensy and he love her ok break up your conect and think it is very good you underestand very soon but first wait and look careful perhaps you go wrong! but look up very carefuly
Reply:She was not your best friend if she did that to you, remember that. And he isn't worth shedding a tear over, either! Be happy that you are now rid of two contaminated sources that would only poison your life. Hopefully you will soon realize that they don't deserve you, and find a way for you to be happy!
Reply:I would have to agree with the first person who gave an answer if he will cheat on you with your friend he will do it to her also and so on and so forth but when she comes back to you trying to apologize act like she did you a favor by taking him off your hands.
Reply:First of all, she is not your friend. You will be seeing them together for sometime... at least until he cheats on her with one of her friends... What comes around goes around. Sorry for your troubles. Get out there and meet some new people. It sounds like you have not had much luck in finding loyal friends. Take the opportunity to improve yourself instead of worrying about them. Then when you are ready there will be someone out there that will love you and be loyal to you. Good luck.
