I agree with you that the climate is changing. I was cutting my lawn in January, and it was about 20C earlier in the week. It is only going to be government action - globally - that will change things, but national interests will always outweigh global good.
2 :
Um.. It's March and through out time March has always been unstable. Also how would global warming start an Ice age???
3 :
I'm not with you. Nothing stays the same ever. Change is inevitable.
4 :
Its a lot worse in Texas, I remember it blowing strong winds and the temperature was extremely cold. Later on, it became 97 degres out. We can make a difference, but we would be screwing our economy over.
5 :
yes, it's making me sick and i mean literally...when i woke up one morning it's 20 degrees hot, then I came home the next day i was surprised it's drizzling and suddenly became chilly. nature is telling us, "you have been warned of the consequences, now either you tolerate it or do something about it"!!!
6 :
What's changed?? It was that way when I lived there 16 years ago. You keep believing and supporting global warming your just going to give the government another excuse to pass more laws and taxes that are going to hurt use.Who do you think invented it in the first place??
7 :
i think its too late. we can not give back what we have token. its too late
8 :
Man start cutting the prozac pills in half. Nature changes constantly without our input. Get a grip on reality
9 :
i seen the affect of global warming. i live in ohio and had a christmas where it was sunny and 50 degrees outside in the dead of winter. if that aint proof then i dont know what else there is.
10 :
i think brazil is ahead in the ethanol game. so we need their input. weather changes/patterns in a month arent that telling. anyone can start immediately. just figure out how to cut bills, save money, quit buying every product out there. GO SOLAR. and i dont mean solar cells. theres other methods. look into batch heating of water for one. search for ideas, theyre out there. of course you realize by everyone doing this the economy is going to get rocked and rocked hard.
11 :
I usually try to avoid making the connection between unusual weather and global warming because I'm afraid that it will perpetuate the misperception that climate and weather are the same thing. And global warming deniers will always say on a cold and snowy day: "Where is this global warming that everyone is talking about?" It's an irrelevant point, because the real risk of global warming is the 2-4 degC increase in average temperature that wouldn't be that noticable to us on a day to day basis. But even I can't help but think that this winter's high temperatures are related to global warming. In Michigan, it was like winter didn't even begin until February. And several day's ago (3/13) Detroit was only 1 degree shy of the 1990 record high temp of 73F. Alone, these things might not concern me. But when added to the melting glaciers, severe storms, climate models, and the fact that the recent Dec-Feb period was the earth's warmest in 128 years of record-keeping..... It's almost impossible not to see the effects of global warming.

yes some people have seen some effects ? : i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico , the negative effects are much faster today because the sun is hotter in many places on earth we cannot sit as long on the beach any more as we used to do and everybody is wearing sunblock i live now by the side of a river in Mexico where,in 30 years 5 species of fish have become exstinct . and part of the year the river is dry this is for longer every year because of over use of water by agriculture and as a result of deforrestation. there are natural cycles in the planets life but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France, deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them . and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result (are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico) ,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts. collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers, as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people , and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production , and there are less and less farmers to do it.. who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification , because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing RISING SEAS The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times. this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter. Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen, At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where. SOLUTIONS if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc. the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta. the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies. the protection of existing forrests. stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet. education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens. education on environmental awareness education on family planning to curb over´populaion Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management. more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks ,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine recicling wastes,limit water use Source(s) Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE , his little book--a planet under stress , Plan B has been trans lated into 50 languages and won the best book award in 2003.

How hard should one still keep trying to make a marriage work?

How hard should one still keep trying to make a marriage work?
I feel that I'm the only one working hard to make it work. Been married for 7 yrs now. Honestly, I've been a good wife, cook, clean, wash, worked outside the home, saved money, etc. In Aug2006 we decided to move to Brazil (where I'm from), my husband stayed 2 months and got back to the U.S. He left me in Brazil, hardly called me. Then in Feb. after 6 months I made a mistake to sleep with an ex bf, it wasn't good at all. I regretted immensely. I called my husband the same day it happened to say I'm sorry. He accepted apologies and went got my ticket. He seemed so calm about it, I was the one freaking out. THen I got back here in March 2007, we bought a house together and things were going good. Then he finds this job (he's a truck driver), he said he'd be home every night. He's gone 3-4 days at a time, and I'm here by myself. I keep telling him I'm lonely. He said he likes his job. I don't know if he cares or not. I'm unhappy, lonely, feel left out. Am I overreacting? I don't have boyfriends. This guy was a one night thing. I said I regretted it immensely. bssd... it's not that I didn't want to come back with him. He left because he said he could not find work down in Brazil. It was a lie. He was offered a job but he refused. He said he'd rather come back to the U.S. and work here. So he said he didn't have money to bring me back, but he would later. Then he disappeared. He got a cell phone as he got here, gave the number to his mother. I called her one time asking for the number, she lied saying she dind't have his number. This went on for 6 months, I could hardly talk to him. So? For some reason you guys are thinking I don't have anything else to do, but I said I work and I take care of the house, so I did down there in Brazil. It wasn't a matter of being unoccupied and looking for men! I was ok for 6 months, I mean, not ok, but I didn't go around sleeping with guys. Then this ex bf came along, I was very vulnerable emmotionally.

WOW... I think your husband deserve a lot better than you... Good wife... PFFT... You slept with another man, that has BAD WIFE written all over it. If you're lonely, get a hobby, not a BF, a HOBBY. Get a job, take some classes, start scrap-booking, learn knitting, paint... There are a MILLION things you could do to keep yourself from being lonely. Find a friend. He is out there providing for his family, let him do so... he enjoys it.
2 :
Well you should be happy he has a good job he likes and honestly it sounds like he is the one that is working hard to keep it together with you-he could have just left you when he found out you slept with your ex....you should appreciate that you have a good husband.
3 :
You are expecting him to be your everything. One person cannot be that for someone else. You need other things in your life too. Reach out and find something special just for you. My livin fiance is a truck driver. I know it can be lonely. You have to find others to fullfill your needs too. And I do not mean sexually. Your affair was a reflection on your lonliness. Fullfill yourself and enjoy him when he is around without smothering him. tyou may just find he is around more. Find a hobby if you can that you can consume yourself with and maybe meet some other people. Best wishes I woudn't call it quits on a commitment thats suppose to be for better or worse, not until things get rough. You can do it. Its those that stick it out that gain the true fruits in the end.
4 :
In a marraige there has to be 100% effort to make it work. If your spouse is say only giving 5%, you are supposed to give 95%. You are supposed to carry each other in times like this. That is what they say. I don't honestly believe that God would have us be unhappy for forever. I believe the right thing to do is to keep putting forth every effort you can, try to get counseling and see if he will get some also...that way if things don't work out...you will know you did your best. I am divorced. I got sick of being the only one working on it. I didn't even try counseling. I just left. I don't regret any of it except that I wish I would have tried harder.
5 :
you can only do so much to ssave the marriage, but if your partner has no efford, you cant do much in that aspect. at least you know you tryed your best. talk to him, and clear things out, afterall comunication is a marriges best friend!
6 :
You messed up and now you have to live with yourself and do the best you can to keep your marriage intact....whatever happens in the future is up to you........
7 :
1) You are not a good wife, you cheated...that's not good, no matter how much you regret it or how much he forgives you. 2) He LEFT you in Brazil...BIG clue here. 3) He is gone half the time, another BIG clue. Lets be frank, neither of you are really committed to this relationship. It takes a lot more than cooking and cleaning to keep a marriage together (a maid can be hired for that). I suggest you actually talk to him about the problems and see if he is willing to work on them or get out.
8 :
Yeah kinda. A truck drivers life is exactly that...gone for days. Although he left you, YOU cheated on him and he gave you another chance. Yet I still am concerned about him being so calm about it all. You need to make a serious decision here. Truckers lives are different. Different cities, different women, etc. I can't get into it. If you are truly unhappy then leave. You have to talk with your husband though. I wish you luck...
9 :
no look me up and youll never be lonly again get rid of him and ill spend every night with you making your dreams come true
10 :
he doesn't care..he probably has another woman, in another state or maybe he has many women...you were better off in Brazil...U R NOT over reacting dear...Gary
11 :
I think that if he has a job he likes, leave him be. You cheated on him and you sound a little selfish, if you had my husband, he would have left you when you called and told him you cheated. You sound as though this relationship has always "let you down"....but realize that it's your fault for being in this situation, you should work on yourself before making demands on other people.
12 :
My husband was gone constantly during the first year of our marriage. I believe he was home a total of 3 weeks scattered through out the whole year. I didn't get a boyfriend I got a hobby. I started taking college classes at a community college. Inexpensive, interesting and helped me grow as a person. Yes your husband should have communicated when he went back to the US while you were still in Brazil. You have to understand though your husband isn't your everything. You have to have your own life too, but a life that doesn't mess up your marriage. So instead of boyfriends find books. 6 years we've been married, I'm still in school. Taking classes that are fun and interesting to me. Husband is also in school getting his degree.
13 :
I don't think you are over reacting I think he is under reacting. He also may have cheated on you and that is why he is so calm. He is willing to take care of you. Work, have a home and when done come home to you. He even accepted you back after you cheated on him. I think you should find some friends, go to school, get a job if possible and talk to him as to why he told you he would be home every night and now he is gone 3-4 days at a time. It may just be that his job demands it. He may be still angry inside and just not expressing it. If you want to stay married to him then you need to talk to him. Not crying, yelling or screaming. Just logically. Why did he leave you in Brazil and then get a ticket for you later? You could come to the states Brazil and the states are on good terms. Why did you not come with him? There is more going on here than just you being lonely. There are ways to combat lonliness without cheating. I suggest you find some friends, or take dance lessons something to help occupy your time while encouraging your brain to grow.
14 :
Your husband has forgiven you for something most husbands would of kick you to the curb..... Go get you a job.... stop whining..... you might feel lonely .... get up and do something .... get a hobby..... get busy....do you think you are the only woman that has a husband working out of town....happiness is a state of mind .....you are not happy with yourself.... you are trying to blame it on your husband.... shame on you....
15 :
With the job portion I can feel for you. My fiancee and I have been inseparable for the past 4 years. Now we are thrust apart due to circumstances and he is now going to truck driving school. He however discussed with me the different options he had. We discussed what each company offered, how long each one was going to have him on the road for and how long each one allowed for home time. He also had to find a company that would not require me to move out of state. After a lot of comparisons we found a company we were happy with. Tell your husband your not asking him to quit driving all together, but to look into a company that both of you can agree on. Understand though 3-4 days out is a relatively short amount of time. We are looking at a company that he can be out anywhere from 3-4 weeks to 12 weeks at a time. The money and the benefits are good and I have friends to keep me company if I feel lonely. We will talk every night on our cell phones. He calls the kids and I nightly.
16 :
This is not a good marriage. Sleeping with someone else does not make you a good wife. You guys will need a 3rd party interventions. Try marriage therapy.
17 :
Well you seem to have your answer. YOU are trying to make this work, he apparently isn't. Compatibility issues aside, he seems neglectful and concerned only with his needs and wants. There appears to be little compromise in your decisions, only you doing what he wants, even if he has to resort to deceit. File your papers and move on with your life. Focus on getting yourself to a happy place THEN concern yourself with a mate.
18 :
Don't let these a------- get to you. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good a person you are,it just isn't enough. Sounds to me as though he had and has other things on his mind. You don't get married to be alone all the time,and when that happen then bad things are likely to happen as well whether you mean for them to or not. Is there any way you can go on the road with your husband? Would he let you if you could? If not then maybe you want to reconsider your marriage. Sometimes you just can't please some people.Good luck to you.
19 :
Your Trying to make a marriage work shows that it is failing.. and above that you are cheating on your husband.. what do you think of youself, that being a good wife , cooking, cleaning ,washing ,working outside allows you to play the Marylen Monaroe? You better look within yourself and do not try to impose yourself upon your husband too much.. You need to be respected and loved.. but at same time you have to be faithful to your man who is toiling for you and your home and may be Kids are there.. You do not get trapped in to the Hollywood Heroine life style.. they are not to be Idealised or worshipped... look at the life of some of them.. you are better than them, why worsen your life...
20 :
I think that your Husband was no Saint, himself when you confessed your infidelity, to him, why, did he decided to move with you to Brazil! Why did you decided to come back to the United States again, what made you think that he was going to pay more attention to you and will be here for you.The biggest mistake you made was in buying a house between both of you, and he still is not there for you. This Guy does not care for you not even a bit, so if I were you I would try to have a talk with him, and tell him how you feel, and to please tell you if he Loves you or not, because you feel like he does not care about you , since you are seeing it with his actions, so if he says he does not care anymore make arrangements to sell the house and move from there, Do not waste your time with someone who is not going to be there for you, and treats you like you are not worth nothing to him. Have some dignity on your part, maybe in the future you will be able to Love again, and find someone who Loves you and cares about you, and above all else will be there for you.

Can I fit carnaval 2007 in Salvador into my vacation?

Can I fit carnaval 2007 in Salvador into my vacation?
Hi, Simple question - I have off from Feb 10-18, 2007 for vacation from work, and I've always wanted to go to Salvador for carnaval. It looks like the main part of carnaval/ Mardi Gras day is Feb 20. How much action would be going on from Feb 11-17 (I live in atlanta, and all the flights I can afford take about a day each way, so I'm giving myself a day for travel on either side). So my question is : is enough going on to make it worth the money, or should I go some other time when I get to spend more of actual carnaval in Brazil. I've already been to salvador twice, so I wouldn't be going just to visit the city.

I would save your money, or plan to go to somewhere else in the area, not focusing on carnaval. The action happens on the 20th and the next few days, rather than the days before that. You could instead do a trip further north and do an Amazon tour that perhaps even takes you into Venezuela. But my choice would be go to Argentina and you could spend the entire week in Buneos Aires. It is an amazing city and you will have fun. Check out my Best Answers and you can get some other ideas about things to do in Argentina and Brasil. Have a great trip wherever you go.

Depends what kind of experience you want. Brazilians joke that Carnaval in Salvador starts in December, and things really heat up the week before, so your dates would be fine. Of course, if you go during another time, it will be cheaper. It all depends on your budget and your priorities.
