		<description>I think that askers deeply know what they should do in their situation.  Personally, I came here with some issues and used the search tool to find out how other people addressed similar situations.  No big decision though.  But I remember one day I was really angry with my husband and by reading one of my contact's comment, I backtracked on what I planned as a reaction.</description>

		<description>These are the items you will need to have below. And the instruction how is described below.

Aluminum foil 
Water 
Salt 
Soft cloth 
Small jar or bowl (depending on size of jewelry) 

1)Fill the jar or bowl about half full with hot water. 
2)Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the jar or a couple of tablespoons of salt to the bowl and mix to dissolve. 
3)Add a few strips of aluminum foil to the jar or cover the bottom of the bowl with a sheet of aluminum foil. 
4)Now simply drop your silver jewelry in the water. 
5)You can shake it around in the jar or swish it around in the bowl. The aluminum with the salt acts as a magnet, pulling the tarnish off of the silver. 
6)Allow the jewelry to set in the saltwater/aluminum foil mixture for a few minutes. 
7)Remove and rinse under running water. 
8)Repeat as needed until the tarnish is removed. 
9)Dry with a soft towel.</description>

		<description>I have not made my relationship decision. The input I have recieved so far has made me feel less crazy though!!! Sometimes people think they want answers but when they get them they don't want that answer and do not realize they are justifying a decision they have already made or avoiding a decision they do not want to make.</description>

		<title>Comment on Here&#8217;s the situation.. my boyfriend and I are 27 and 28. We met three years ago and have been in a relationship for two years. We are very much in love and have a very honest and healthy relationship. We both know that we&#8217;re going to end up getting married. I really don&#8217;t feel the need to talk about it or have the &#8220;where is this going?&#8221; conversation with him. We already know about our lifelong plans, ambitions, our stance on children, etc. Even though we&#8217;re completely honest with each other, I just DO NOT want to have the talk about getting engaged.  I just feel needy or pushy by doing so, and I don&#8217;t want it to seem like I&#8217;m putting pressure on him.  Having this talk just stresses me out!  Any ideas on how to bring it up?  If you want, share your experience about how you brought it up.. Thanks for your help by megan</title>

		<description>You and me both =/ we've brought it up a few times about actually doing it. We both know we are going to get married. I don't want to give him an ultimatum, but I'm also not planning on waiting forever. I love him and I want to get married. We've been together 2.5 years and know each other very very well. Hopefully somebody else will answer this. I guess I'll keep checking back because I would like an answer too. Good luck and hopefully he proposes soon!</description>

		<title>Comment on The more I think about it the more I like it.

Let&#8217;s divide the US into Liberals and Conservatives. 

We&#8217;ve become like a party of hikers stranded on a mountain slope. Half want to stay put and wait for rescue, and the other half want to get as far back down the slope as they can. Both sides could be right, both are willing to stake their lives on their ideas, and both are ready to kill the other side for resisting what must be done. So, let&#8217;s split up.

The Liberals get the Northeast and both coasts: the blue states. If we get all the blue states from 2008, that includes New Mexico, Colorado, and Florida.  Also, Hawaii. I&#8217;d throw in Florida for the Conservatives just to sweeten the pot. I suggest we name ourselves the Social Democratic States of America. The SDSA. 

The Conservatives get the big center of the country and the gulf coast states. And Alaska. I suggest you call yourselves the Christian Confederation of America. The CCA.

During the partition there will be some messy splits, and a lot of dramatic exoduses and ethnic cleansing. Most of the city of Austin will be Liberals trapped far behind enemy lines, in the very Capital city of the Christian Confederacy! They will have to evacuate to North Carolina. Conversely, the entire population of Western Michigan will have to make a run for Missouri. A lot of Wall Street guys will be flying their private jets one - way to Dallas, while a lot of Liberal millionaires will say goodbye to their Montana ranches forever.

We have to split the federal debt and each pay off half, because both Rep. and Dems have borrowed all that money. Right now national debt is 12.9 trillion. A little less than half of that added up during the administration of Pres. George W. Bush (sorry, just had to point it out).

The Christian Confederation will eliminate income and business taxes, but they still have to find a way to pay back $6.5 trillion without that revenue. Take State revenues in Texas, the capital of the CCA. They make $21 million a year in sales tax and $26 million in income tax. Without income, sales tax will go to around 20%. Then, to pay make their federal debt payments, they may have to double that, maybe to 40% sales tax. Also, a lot of that is Social Security, which red - staters have been paying all their lives. I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;re going to just tell all those would - be retirees that their money is gone, or pay them all back their money in one lump sum (in which case you&#8217;ll have to borrow trillions more) or keep paying Social Security, but that&#8217;s pretty Socialist.

Meanwhile, in the SDSA, taxes will be roughly like those in Western Europe. Most will pay 25%. The wealthiest pay a lot more income tax than now, up to 50% in the $1 million/ year income bracket. However, no one will have any medical, prescription, or education expenses.

We each get half of the military, because we both paid for it. So we each have enough nukes to keep us from invading each other. 



Social Democratic States of America
 
SDSA

all blue states; northeast and coastal states.

Multicultural, secular, republic, dedicated to ideals of mutual tolerance, freedom, and human rights.

Member and foremost donor to United Nations.
Signatory to all major international treaties on human rights, disarmament, and environment.

Secretary of Science and Technology is a cabinet position. Congressional Office of Science is established to review policy proposals. Science research receives high levels of funding, technology progresses.

Open immigration, open guest worker passes. Guest workers put downward pressures on wages for labor.

High income tax. Most Americans pay 25% federal income tax. Over 50% for those earning over $1,000,000/ year..

Single payer health care for all.  No medical expenses for covered services for citizens. Some procedures deemed unproven, cosmetic, or futile, not covered.
Entrepreneurs and businesses pay nothing for employee medical insurance.

Free public college education for any who pass entrance exams.

Few energy reserves. Large fuel imports. Intensive investment in renewable energy and later generation nuclear reactors.

Military spending reduced to a level needed to defend SDSA territory, plus expeditionary forces for UN. 

Strong ties with Europe and Asia lead to increased trade and financial investment.

Blue states had average incomes about $10,000 higher than red states at time of partition. High educational achievement, international trade and investment, and technological innovation, lead to increasing household incomes.

Women choose when and if to start families.

Homosexuals granted full marriage rights



Christian Confederacy of America
CCA

All red states; south, central, and gulf coast states.

Christian confederacy of states. Dedicated to Jesus Christ, to freedom, and to the heritage of America. All non - Christian citizens and houses of worship are required to register with local govern by Captain Awesome</title>
