Voting Question: We want to travel by sea from Canada to Puerto Rico. Not a cruise.

Not looking for a cruise. We are considering buying a summer home in Puerto Rico. For many reasons it would make sense for us to travel there and back by sea, with our van and pets. Is this a possibility and what would such a voyage cost? We're okay to leave from anywhere in Canada - probably each January to return end of April. How long does it take? There are two of us - one Canadian/Brit dual citizen, one Canadian US. Anyone's help and advice will be much appreciated. We could also leave from Florida and the van is not a deal-breaker. Thank you, Alan M. Smith It doesn't matter about the vehicle - the main thing is that we would like to receive to PR by sea but we don't want to go on a cruise. We could also leave from a Canadian east-coast port.

Voting Question: Dealership wouldn't even talk to me. Why?

Let me start off by saying that I am trying to rebuild my credit. Yes, it's low. I need a new car because the one I have is about to break down on me. I've been shopping around going to dealership after dealership and used car lot after used car lot. The car lots want too much down and the dealerships, even though they are trying haven't arrive through on a deal yet. I went and looked at the Mazda3 yesterday and I really liked the car. It was only like $15k but I though it would be a lower priced car to rebuild my credit on. I didn't want to receive something too expensive to push my budget to the limit. silly thing is that this car still had hand crank windows and didn't even arrive with remote entry or even cruise control. Features that arrive standard on other cars similarly priced. Anyway, I told the sales guy what I was working with and he literally told me that Mazda Finance is so tight right now that sometimes they require people to have credit scores in the mid to upper 700's just to put them in a car. I think he just didn't want to try when I told him my score was low. Again, at least the other dealerships when I told them what I was working with tried. They ran my info and asked if I could put a down payment or even receive a co-signer. This guy leaned back on a car and directed me to the Hyundai dealership that I have yet to find which he said was, "right down the road." Why, if you are working on commission, would you not even try to look what nice of deal you could make for me? If for nothing more, I'd send others to your dealership to say, "hey, they will try to receive you into a car." OR maybe it was my low credit score that he didn't look much of a sale if any coming from me. Personally, I don't want a car with hand crank windows and no cruise control. I have a 1994 Chrysler and it is at least every electric and has cruise as well as a remote entry. What's the deal with this 2008 Mazda3 not having some of the basic features most if not every cars do? When's the last time you saw a new model car that still had crank windows? My girl said it was becasue maybe I was black he didn't want to try. I'm not looking at race as an issue now but as a long shot there may be some validity to her statement. I was nicely dressed and spoke very well. No road slang or anything cause I don't talk like that. What do you guys think?

Resolved Question: How to make him say I love you?

I've been dating my boyfriend for 11 months now. We work together, and are going on a cruise to the bahamas for his birthday in september. We hang out whenever we are not working or taking personal days, we receive along great, and other than a 14 year age difference, we are much the same. He still has not said I adore you. Is it really that big of a deal when he shows he loves me and just doesn't say it? I haven't said it either but he is not the scared or shy type. Very masculine, sarcastic and extremely confident, not narcissistic. He always does the right thing, not always the nice thing but the right thing. Very high morals and would do anything for family. I definitely have my looks going for me, but he also rarely wants to have sex. He is 32 smokes and drinks every the time. He never lies, and says it has nothing to do with me. I dont receive it. Any help any one can give? I am the younger one, and I know he has no one else on the side. What do i do? He was greatly hurt before me, and completely closed himself off from everything. But I cannot handle being this close to him, but still being this distant. We do not live together which I have no problem with, but we are getting a family phone plan. Does it mean he is getting that serious? And if so why not say I adore you? Or have sex with me when I want it?

I'm canadian and I say ABOUT not ABOOT. Yet when I went on a cruise, I was the only canadian other then this boy in the teen lounge.

I have never once heard a Canadian say 'aboot' but I'm sure there's some who do. My question is, why is it such a big deal, and why do Americans find it so silly that some of us Canadians say 'aboot'. They say some things differently too and you don't hear us making it public. This isn't ment to be offensive to Americans, but I'm just wondering why some of them find it so hysterical. Oh, and I'm not directing this at every Americans..I do realize some of them understand. But to the ones who do..I mean c'mon... can't you hear a difference between "out" and "oot"?

Resolved Question: Does hating Tom Cruise, when you don't even know him, show a pesonality flaw?

i don't understand why Tom Cruise gets so much abuse. I hear people make things up and RANT about him! He seems like a pretty decent member of society. Very little scandal, so what's the deal? He doesn't hurt anyone or anything, gives to charity, his kids aren't on drugs running around giving crotch shots. People say his wife is abused without ANY PROOF. I mean there are enough crazies in hollywood to fill any need for gossip so why the constant attacks on cruise? Well what could that be? Why do they hate him? Sounds like politically correct discrimination/ bullying to me. Really, it frightens me to look a mob mentality. The hatred is real, and powerful, for a man that personally hasn't done a thing to these people! "Likely, they don't like his personality or his politics or his views on life." ahhh, he is an actor, do you actually know his personality or his politics or his views on life? He has 3 kids I have an example.... His 2 year old is photographed with a bottle. I have seen message boards with thousands of comments on this. It seems odd to me that people care about the fact that his daugther is still on a bottle. THere are kids being beaten and burned and starved. Being fed a bottle seems pretty darn harmless to me.

Resolved Question: What do you think of the prospects of a sequel to Top Gun???

I heard today that there may be in the works a sequel to Top Gun. It take place in the gift, 22 years from the original, with Tom Cruise reprising his role star-making role as Mavrick. This time he's an instructor at the Navy Fighter Weapons School having to deal with a cocky, hot-shot female fighter pilot. Personally, I think the idea sucks. This is no-discredit to women in the military, but how many female fighter pilots are there in the Navy or Air Force??? And plus, it wouldn't be believable because if you know anything about fighter pilots, they are the most cockiest people in the world and a girl couldn't arrive off with the right devil-may-care attitude towards life. Top Gun is not closed...it just moved from NAS Miramar, California to NAS Fallon, Nevada. It is now official known as the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (SFTI) program. Basically, different jets doing the same stuff. The F-14 has been retired by the Navy and now the F-18 is top dog in the fleet.

I have no record, and i am pretty much pleading guilty, and really just hoping i dont receive my p's suspended. i can handle fines or any other consequences, i just need to know what im dealing with, and how to deal with it appropriately to avoid getting my license suspended. any help is appreciated are you sure? i have a pal in the same position as me, except he tried to receive away from the cops. he went to bootcamp, and now his record is clear and and can receive his permit

Open Question: dreams,dreams......?

so I have this sexy supervisor who every the girls like, but he’s interested in everything I do and say. And I guess hes trying so difficult not to look at me anymore because every my guy workers like me and I gave one of them my old cell number(since I don’t like him)and every the girls were making a big deal out of it. So 1 wk b4 work ended, he went on a cruise and wasn’t coming back until nine days later. I had a dream that he came back to work for me when I was hanging with my pal and he sat next 2 me then asked if I was working here again next yr and my pal said hell no! And even though I didnt wanna work there anymore, I said “yes definitely” to make him feel better and he started blushing and came real close to me and started checking me out and thats when I awoke. What does this signify?

I won't be doing if they want to give me negative equity

Resolved Question: the meaning of bombay?

THE MEANING OF BOMYBAY ====================== DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF BOMBAY? THERE ARE MANY ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION AND I wish THE RIGHT ONE WILL APPEAR FROM NOWHERE. SOME SAY THAT IT IS A GIFT FOR KING CHARLES II MARRIAGE TO PORTUGAL PRINCESS CATHERINE OF BRAGANZA. ETYMOLOGY: NAME FOR THE BOMBAY BECAUSE THOUGHTG OF AS RESEMBLING THE BLACK LEOPARDS OF INDIA. SOMETIME BOMBAY IS DEFINE AS BAMBA? BOMBAY WAS FIRST below PORTUGESE RULE AND LATER THE BRITISH TOOK OVER IT AS PART OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. The name of the island and city of Bombay is derived from Mumba (a form of Parvati), the goddess of the Kolis, a race of husbandmen and fishermen who were the earliest known inhabitants, having occupied the island probably about the beginning of the Christian era. South of Gujarat nearly the whole of Bombay is covered by the horizontal lava flows of the Deccan Trap series, and these flows spread over the greater part of the Kathiawar peninsula and extend into Cutch. The palms of the presidency consist of cocoa-nut, date, palmyra and areca IT IS silly THAT PALMYRA DEAL WITH OIL? SOME SAY THAT THESE TREE arrive FROM THE MIDDLE EAST ESPECIALLY IN SYRIA AND DURNG THE TIME OF KING SOLOMON. BOMBAY FURNITURE. " Bombay blackwood furniture" is a term applied to a rather extensive class of articles manufactured in the city of Bombay and in the towns of Surat and Ahmedabad in India. The wood used is Shisham or blackwood (Dalbergia), a difficult-grained dark-coloured timber which with proper treatment assumes a beautiful natural polish. SHISHAM REFER TO SHECHEM OF ISRAEL WHERE THE HEVITE LIVE AND MODERN DAY VIETNAMESE. The name Bombay comes from the Portuguese Bom Bahia, meaning Good Bay. The Portuguese, who controlled much of India in the 16th and 17th centuries, ruled over Bombay until 1661, when it was given to the British. IT IS A GOOD BAY ALRIGHT "WHEN" IT CAN PRODUCE 6,000,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL WORTH US$ 600 TRILLION OR US$ 1,200 TRILLION DOLLARS WHICH IS THREE TIME THE WORLD TOTAL WEALTH. The city of Bombay originally consisted of seven islands, namely Colaba, Mazagaon, Old lady's Island, Wadala, Mahim, Parel, and Matunga-Sion. This group of islands, which have since been joined together by a series of reclamations, formed part of the kingdom of Ashoka, the famous Emperor of India.

Voting Question: Am I a thief? I'm not exactly sure, so please read?

I mean, I'd never take anything right out of a store, but ... every of my shampoos are from Marriott and Renaissance hotels (and some from Holland America Cruises) I have 2 pairs of nice slippers from the Marriott Most of my towels are from Marriotts and Renaissances I have over 50 jams/jellies from Marriotts and Renaissances None of these were ever paid for. I mean, the shampoos, they don't care if you take them from the room, but sometimes I take extras from the carts, because the shampoo quality is great, and I don't feel like paying for something that I can receive for free. Slippers-No big deal, only 2 pairs and those hotels would've charged me if it was against the rules, I think that they only charge you for the robes Towels-No technical rule on this, I think that it's okay jams/jellies-again, no technical rule, I think that it's okay to take a few one time on a cruise, though, i was taking teas for home, (only like 20-30) and this guy told me "NOOO, you don't take them, only take a few", and I don't look the big deal. I would've used them, and I didn't look a sign that had the limit. but, once someone said to me after I told them that I take towels that "That's where the negative stereotypes about Jewish people arrive from, from Jews like you" and I was starting to rethink this taking things from hotels.

Voting Question: I need help dealing with gay/bi guys?

Help! I'm a very good looking gay guy and this makes other guys too scared and intimidated to approach me. This is fine with me, my problem is that after two different guys(on seperate occassions) flirted with me and cruised me, I asked for their numbers and when I called them and asked them out, they rejected me saying that they're not gay. However, their body language and facial expressions when they cruised me told me otherwise which is why I got their numbers in the first place. What does this mean? This is my first time asking guys out.Please tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I don't repeat the same mistakes. any suggestions?

Voting Question: What's the big deal with boobies?

I mean in Texas (where I'm from), its not a state law that girls cover their boobs in public. There are only city ordinances against it in a few places. And its legal everywhere to breastfeed in public. So why are they still "naughty parts"? Me personally, I don't really care when people look mine. I mean, I don't cruise around naked every day, but I'm not embarrassed to tan topless when some friends and I are on the beach, or change out of my swimsuit top in the car, or anything else like that. (btw, i'm 18. I don't have saggy baggies) its like the whole country has nipple fever. idk. what do you think?

Resolved Question: MSC The Orchestra???

Hi, I was looking up travel ideas for Spring Break and I came across a GREAT deal... its 550 for an adult but kids 17 and below are free??? (I know that the deal is 1 adult = 1 free child and each additional child after the adults are $199) Ive went on many cruises and I was just wondering why the rates are so cheap? Last spring break I went on a cruise and the cost was a meir 1000 however it was grand princess. But it was over the exact same dates? This fall for my birthday we are going on a Royal Caribbean cruise and it was around 840. And that rate was during hurricane season. Anyways back on track... Its a new boat called The Orchestra. The line is called MSC. It leaves March 28th 2009 Disembarkation is out of Fort Lauderdale and calls to Cayo Levantado (Samanà - D.R.), Philipsburg,St. Maarten, St. John's,Antigua, Nassau,Bahamas, Then returning to FFL April 4th. Its suppose to be an italian fleet. I was wondering has anyone been on this boat? Is this deal too good to be true? Is there any catch? Is MSC a representable Cruise line? What are your general reviews on the boat? ANY HELP WOULD BE WONDERFUL! I'm traveling with my bf, my pal, my mom and I. I definitely want this to be an unforgettable experience. Thanks for everything =] Some times the website doesn't serve any justice ya know. I just wanted to look some reviews before I book away. P.S the pictures Ive seen of the boat, are stunning the boat is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for reading and helping me out with this LOONNNG question.. ~!Stay Groovy!~

Many of the 'deals' on travel packages are for 2 people, so as a single I would have to pay more. Same thing with cruises. Looking for interesting, safe, fun places to travel that I can go by myself and not break the bank. Michael - adore the Kerala Houseboat tours, I'm totally going to do this - but not really an "alone" activity. Much more 'couple' oriented. But I'm very grateful for this resource.

Resolved Question: Is it wrong the only thing I look for from girls is fun?

And I'm not talking only about sex, so don't receive your knickers in a bunch. But like, I don't want to deal with a girls drama, neediness, or emotional baggage, keep that BS for your girlfriends and whipped boyfriends. in high school, I always had a girlfriend, and most of my relationships were very long lasting, one even lasting two and a half years. But I'm 19 now, and I'm just done with girls emotional trash, and don't need their help dealing with mine. I have plenty of female friends who I help out, but I'm talking about girls I'm involved with sexually. This attitude has sort of turned me into a player, I have a few friends with benefits at any given time, and a 'line up' of girls who either want on my nuts, or are just confused and I don't want to invest the time. I'm not just banging these girls and walking out the door. Fun is priority #1, going to parties, being spontaneous, sex, one girl even took me with her family on a cruise. I'm sure it's just my age, but I couldn't care less about anything negative a girl wants to drop in my lap, and I'll gladly show her the door is she does it every the time. What do you think about this? And don't just be like "omg you azz!" or something equally immature That's the thing, I'm upfront and these girls know we aren't in an 'actual' relationship. i don't lie
