Friendship is Not Just For Christmas
Friendship is a wonderful asset. Friends are the confidantes of all the times of our lives; the people we shared our lollipops with as children; the girls we giggled with on ‘sleep overs'; the companions of girlish experiments with fashion and makeup; the boys we cycled miles with and the buddies of a dozen guilty adventures such as orchard raiding and skinny dipping. Those childhood friends should be forever but often they slip away, fading into memory when they move away in search of new jobs and following family commitments somewhere out of sight and out of mind. How sad it is that they become shadowy memories; no longer part of our lives except at Christmas or on birthdays when we might send a card, prompted by some entry in a date calendar we consult throughout the year to remind us of our obligations. It need not be quite so cold and unemotional. Friendship is one of the greatest gifts we have and it should be celebrated not just at Christmas and birthdays but all the year through. Like love, friendship should not be taken for granted; beautiful yet fragile enough to be broken by indifference over years of neglect. As we reach the final year of the first decade of the twenty first century, the true value of friendship has become under rated. We send our emails and put notices on social networking sites and congratulate ourselves that we have done enough to keep our friends ‘topped up' with a ‘Hi guys, hope you are all okay', when in fact so many of our friends are suffering financial hardship or family problems, struggling, unknown to us, to stay cheerful without a friendly shoulder to cry on. You cannot broadcast your most personal problems on a public network; you cannot type ‘remember when we did this…' and wait for three days to receive a reply and feel you have had some meaningful connection with a friend! Friendship just does not work that way. Friends are there; friends are real and touchable, even if they are far away, not just through Phone calls and letters but also through the gifts we exchange and the thought we have put into how we choose our friendship gifts. This year, as the planet enters crisis not only financially but environmentally, give a Christmas gift that may be kept forever; a gift that is earth friendly and comes from the earth itself. Think about ditching the impersonal Christmas card this year and try making a real gesture of friendship toward those you would like to be closer to; it's time for friends to celebrate every day of the year.

Astrology is racism! Who agrees?
I?m fed up of those ?Why are Scorpios so mean?? or ?Why are Leos so dirty and stinky?? and ?Urgh, I am fed up of wimpy Pisces men!? questions. ASTROLOGY IS NOT REAL. There are loads of types of Astrology (Western, Chinese, Mayan e.t.c.) and each country/race believed theirs was trued. What would make YOURS so special? I hate the prejudice all signs get. I hate getting called selfish, stinky, snobbish, racist e.t.c. just because I?m a Leo. I hate how Scorpios get called mean, violent, promiscuous, manipulative e.t.c. My dad is a Scorpio and he?s freaking awesome. A bit strict, stubborn and shouty but at his best he?s such a Troll Dad. And a bit immature as well :D My ex friend is an Aquarius and she?s not as amazing as they?re described. Astrology is racist. So many people are upset with their star sign and most people don?t even fit theirs. If you have a baby you?re expecting to be born on the day of an an attractive star sign but it?s born a month early, its facial features aren?t miracilously going to change! Your star sign doesn?t decide your intelligence.
Who else agrees? I?m fed up of all the hate star signs get. Read my answer for another question:
"Everyone needs to stop hating on star signs. I have came to a conclusion...horoscopes is a load of bull****. There are so many types of Astrology- Chinese, Mayan, Western (Aries, Taurus, Gemini e.t.c.) and you can't expect all of them to be true! Everyone has a Western, Chinese, Mayan and whatever else sign. If your personality matched all of these you might be a confident but shy violent, calm introvert, patient, impatient, outgoing extrovert. If your appearance matched all your signs' appearances you would be deformed and so would everyone else. Star sign-ism is just as bad as racism. My best friend is a Capricorn and she's the nicest, funniest, most loyal, smartest and most amazing person ever. We just click. I have never ever fallen out with her. Leos and Capricorns aren't supposed to get on well but look at us. We're very similar, that's why we click. My Dad is a Scorpio and yes, sometimes I hate him but he's very concerned, loyal, kind and awesome. He just has that Troll-Dad sense of humour. When he's in a good mood he's freaking cool. My ex-friend is an Aquarius but she isn't as amazing as everyone makes them out to be. I'm a Leo. I don't love the spotlight, love attention. I'm not a popular extrovert. I'm not snobby or whatever. I hate the spotlight. I'm shy in front of strangers- only my friends see the real me. I'm extremely unpopular. I'm an introvert- I prefer to hang out on my own and I hate big crowds.
My point is, there IS no worst star sign. Even if it was all real and true, every star sign has its bads and goods. They balance each other out. And I'm fed up of the amount of hate Scorpios get. I'm fed up of those 'WHY HASN'T MY PISCES BOYFRIEND TEXTED ME BACK?!!!?!?!' questions. Maybe he ran out of credit? Maybe his phone broke? Maybe he has a life and doesn't automatically text back and wait all day for a text? Maybe he left his phone at home or lost it?"
It's similar to racism. It's prejudice. It's like...I don't know how to explain it. It's prejudice, basically.

First time flying alone: I've booked the flight... now what?
I fly in June on my own, just to Europe, and I have hardly any clue on what I need for the airport. I have flown twice before but in groups and others sorted out all the details.
I have my booking ref and the flight times but I didn't recieve an e-mail confirming my booking, I phoned to check if there was anything wrong and they said they would just try resending it - it never appeared. Do I need this?
How do you "check in" for a flight? What do you need to show the person at the desk? just your passport and ref number?
I am flying from the same airport as the other two times so I know my way round roughly but the checking in bit is just a bit of a mystery... :/
thanks in advance to anyone who answers :)

He pulled out then went back in could I be pregnant?
My boyfriend and I had sex on the20th, 21st, and 22nd of this month. According to this app I have on my phone called "My days X" that I use to track my period and ovulation, I was fertile on the 20th and ovulated on the 21st. Now I an.net sure how accurate that is, but anyways. Each time we had sex, he pulled out to ejaculate, then went right back inside me without wiping. The first time, he pulled out for like 2 or 3 seconds and just went right back in and I didn't even notice he came until I noticed he was a little soft then he ended up coming again but pulled out. Everyone we had sex this happened. Is there a chance I could be pregnant from the sperm that was on his penis after he ejaculated and re-entered me? When should I test?? The app says I should start my period on the 3rd of June.
