He's just about the coolest guy I ever met. He's kind and intelligent and pretty good-looking but...he's missing practically all his front teeth. And it's not like they fell out, they're all broken off and...well it's not pretty.
I'm usually not superficial but...no teeth is...well, something new. I've gotten used to it but the burning curiosity of how his mouth came to be that way is eating me alive [not to mention the fact that I also want to beg him to go to an orthodontist as soon as possible].
So really my question is how can I ask him about it without offending him?
He's really open-minded but I'm sure even the toughest people might not like a question about a negative aspect of their aesthetic appearance so I need to figure out a way for him to end up bringing the subject up and telling me himself.
I can be pretty manipulative but I can't do that.
Help please?
Jobs!
If you have ever worked at an after school care program, did you enjoy it? Would you recommend it?
I'm trying to find a part time job because I have a lot of free time until the end of October, and it's always good to earn extra money. There are certain amounts I would not work for. So if I were at an interview and they said "You're hired! You'll make $_ an hour" and it's not enough, what is the best/most polite way to decline the job? Last time this happened I panicked, and pretended I was going to take the job. They set up when I was supposed to go to training and everything. I never bothered to show up, and I didn't answer their calls. Obviously there is a better way.

what are some tv shows you love that no one seems to get? the kind of shows that you fess up to watching and people either react saying "why?".
I watch MXC and Golden Girls. Why? MXC is like Jackass, only some how less Jackass-y, and The Golden Girl is just hilarious in general. Shady Pines, TQC, Shady Pines.

...in a work environment?
Like... ideally we would all like to be perfect and never make a mistake, and it's annoying to have to remind somebody that they made a mistake.... but do you think that somebody has complete and full control to NEVER overlook things? Even if you are being as careful as you think you can be?
What if somebody overlooks tiny things EVERY single day, but always a different thing. Is it justifiable that this person may potentially have attention issues and despite their efforts, still easily overlook things?
Is it reasonable to assume that you can simply ask somebody to pay closer attention and that they will then be able to pay full attention?
In short, is attention and awareness something we have 100% control over?
How is your attention and awareness?

My Question of The Day
I have a community on Livejournal and a group on Facebook for the nonprofit organization I've started - The 3C Foundation of Canada (providing support, services and programs for those afflicted/affected by Crohn's, colitis and colorectal cancer and eradciating the social stigma attached to having one of those illnesses).
Anyway, my question is....how do I get both groups to be more active? I really would love to have both groups thrive and to get more active members. Any ideas?
Thanks so much! I appreciate any ideas.
EDIT: deleted the links - sorry, didn't mean to start any "flaming" or whatever you guys call it...thanks - fixed.

why are most girls catty bitches who spread rumors about their friends?
so let's say three girls (mallory and jenn and danielle) were hanging out with these two guys (vince and zack), and they had alcohol and etc. vince's seriously fucked up, and the rest of them are pretty tipsy except for jenn, who was mostly sober. mallory hooks up with zack, except she's on her period so they don't actually have sex. danielle ended up sleeping with vince, and then danielle hooked up with zack a few hours later (pretty much everything but sex), except mallory was asleep on the bed next to them.
turns out mallory was actually awake, and was pissed at danielle for that. mallory is now spreading rumors about danielle, saying that she slept with both vince and zach, and that she knew vince liked jenn, and that mallory liked zach. danielle knows almost for fact that vince doesn't like jenn, and that mallory doesn't like zach. so why's mallory spreading rumors? she claimed to not be pissed at danielle anymore. also, shouldn't she have also been pissed at zach? he was hooking up next to her too.
this are hungover post. i apologize if it's incoherent.
eta to add names, and also to say that mallory tends to be the slutty one of the bunch, the one that always gets super easy when drunk. danielle's usually the mostly sober one who drives everyone home in the morning, and jenn's usually just odd, and will go to parties but not drink, and spend the whole night texting other people. and two weeks ago, none of us were being catty bitches. i dunno why everyone's being like this all of the sudden.
Eep!

- When did you change your major? Multiple times, just once?
- From which major to which major did you switch?/How big of a shift of subjects was it?
- Did things work out better or worse after the switch?
- How did you know you wanted to switch?
I recently got to campus for my first year, and over the past 10ish months I've been gradually realizing that I just took my major as a given, even though I'm only slightly interested in the topic; earlier today, when browsing through my books, it suddenly occurred to me just how disinterested I am. As such, I want to gather some personal experiences and whatnot so I can figure out when/how to talk to an adviser. Additional advice would be appreciated.

kinda weird
It was played on the commercial for that Princess Diana made for TV special that TLC (was that it?) did for the 10 year anniversary of her death.
It was also played in season two of Grey's Anatomy, I forget what episode.
It sounds like they start out saying "there's no sign of light" but it could be "life." And it sounds like they end up saying "I tried."
It's seriously stuck in my head, and I've tried googling the combinations, but cannot get it right. Help?
Edit: it's sung by a woman with an almost Sarah McLaughlin (sp?) voice.
EDIT2: It's called Modern Love by the Last Town Chorus, it's a cover of a David Bowie song. Here are the lyrics, if you're interested; kinda morbid for a Princess Di song.

It's all underground, aside from the entrance that is pictured (as a reference, the doors you see can allow a semi truck to pass through). You can see where the dirt has been displaced behind it, forming a slight arc on the surface of the earth. The underground facility is approximately the size of a football field, extending back to the white box-type object pictured (which is a vent).
NOT pictured is the actual compound they have, which is separate from the vault facility. There they have regular living accommodations and such.
My question to you is: What do you think is REALLY in there? Is it just documents, like they say? Or something else...?

Help-Jack THEN refers you to a "Recovery Blog" (shown here http://helpsavejack.blogspot.com/), which provides links to two MORE blogs about Jack: http://jenaveveandpeter.wordpress.com/ and http://jenaveveandpete.livejournal.com/. All 4 sites are asking for donations so they can reimburse themselves for the medical bills that they paid for.

Anyone who's familiar with programming Unix I/O operations might get a chuckle out of saying such a project is a "pipe dream". I intended it and amused myself, but it didn't seem to amuse my co-worker.

EDIT:
My answer
I stayed the night at an old co-workers house last night to help her with her business (she's kind of a motherly type to me now) and I'd been awake for like 20 minutes this morning and when I got up I'd put the clothes on the bed that I was gonna wear today, including my bra on top. About 5 minutes later I went to grab my clothes to get in the shower and the bra has magically went away...so I'm looking everywhere! Under the bed, around on the floor, behind the bench, and I can't find it! I went into the living room wondering if I'd somehow dragged it in there when I glanced out the side door. She has a 5 month old Dalmation (and an older one) and they are playing tug of war with my bra!!! So I run outside yelling "puppies! NO!" and then I look around and there are like 5 people just looking at me. I'm in my pajamas, yelling at dogs for playing with my bra and she'd wanted me to meet her neighbors.
I was muchly embarrassed, and this would have been a better story if I wasn't so tired.
So yeah, come on people, amuse me!
