For every single mom there is a single dad giving away his pay to child support. But you never hear I'm a single dad
OK not every but a lot
Why do single moms always say I'm a single mom?
I hear it from people who have custody of the children. If you are the parent at home with the kids saying you are a "single mom" implies that you have little time without the children, and, that you are their primary provider.
I have heard dads say it also, and it is also when they have the kids the majority of the time.
Reply:i agree with DUE ANY DAY. its a hard job and gettin abit of money off child support agency is like a drop in the ocean.. thats if ur lucky to get it at all. my ex won,t pay me a penny for his 4 children.. wont and does.t want to have anything to do with them unless i get back in2 a relationship with him... and that will never happen. so hats off to all single parenst they need all the praise in the world
Reply:not sure--guess I've never thought about it-- yea, you are a single mom - but, the dad is also single.
maybe they are trying to get picked up?
good question!
Reply:Why shouldn't she say she's a single mom. She is a mom, and she's single. I actually know a few single dads who are raising their children by themselves. I also know some single dads who have shared custody and who pay child support and they consider themselves single dads. There are lots of single moms who don't get any child support from their ex's. I also know of a couple of kids who have deadbeat mom's. It goes both ways.
Reply:If a father is the primary care giver to the child, then I've heard them frequently call themselves single dads or fathers. I think claiming to be a single parent is done by the primary care giver. Yes, a father who is also single might provide money ... and that is a great and needed thing. But it is much more day to day investment and work to provide actual care to the child.
Reply:What the ? Because being a single mom is a hard ******* job, dumbass. Boo Hoo, some dad "giving away" his pay to "support" a child. Cry me a ******* river.Just because you pay a snippet of your salary for child rearing hardly means you are " supporting" your child. I can guarantee you that what I get in child support ( when I get it, if at all) is not nearly what it takes each month to pay for even a third of expenses of caring for my child. "Giving away his pay" ? That's the very least a non custodial parent should do. Try being a single parent for awhile and doing everything from being mom and dad, working full time, cleaning, shopping, paying bills, getting a child to school and home each day, taking care of them when they are sick and not being able to buy groceries because you had to miss 2 days of work because of that sick child,etc.What a stupid question!!!
Reply:I hear single dads say it as much as women but i guess that is just me.Although i havnt actually met many single dads it always seems to be women
Reply:the problem maybe the dad have never give birth.
Reply:Dont know about going around just blurting out that " oh, hi I'm a single mom" and no not alot of dads or moms give child support because my children had two different fathers and neither one paid child support even though the judges only was having them pay one was suppose to pay ten dollars a week the other fourty dollars a week...It took ten years to get the 10 dollar a week to pay up thanks to a different judge and the other never paid a penny. I have a male cousin that has custody of four children and his ex-wife never paid a penny either. so being a single parent raising a child by them selves even with child support coming in still there is more to it . the single parent has to raise that child and cover being the mom and dad every single day of the child's life. the missing parent has weekends or what ever was agreed upon in court. the missing parents might love their children enough to be involved in afterschool activities, and some of the child's social life. but that parent isn't around twenty-four seven. good luck on making your point across. their are alot of guys and gals out their that are defently not going to agree with this.
Reply:coz they r single.
Reply:It identifies them. I never refer to myself as a married mom, but that is a different issue. My issue with your question is that of "giving away" your pay. WHAT? You are financially contributing to the financial support of your own child. I would suggest you take measures to prevent any more children until you are responsible enough to understand what goes into raising a child.
I have heard men refer to themselves as single dads. Problem is that usually the dad takes off and leaves the child with the mom. Mothers think of themselves as mothers 24/7. Unfortunately not enough men think of themselves as dads in the same way. Too many men think of themselves as men with kids not as dads. Maybe that is why there are so many dysfunctional kids out there today.........
Reply:I guess I am a single mom then because my son's single dad doesn't give him a single dime!!!!! No diapers, clothes, shoes, food, nothing. But complains about how much his new truck costs or how his nice new home costs so much. He makes more than twice as much as me and doesn't even pay for a doctor's visit. But still has visitation rights. Sorry, had to vent.
To answer your question, probably because the mom usually has primary guardianship. I am a single mother and my man is a single father. He has custody of his.

Any Single Christian Fellowship Groups in Montgomery County, MD?
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any independant Christian single's groups in the Montgomery Country (Rockville, Potomac, etc) area...I am a single Mom, 44, Jewish Believer, would love to meet other single Christians/Believers for fellowship, friendship, etc. Thanks for letting me know.
Any Single Christian Fellowship Groups in Montgomery County, MD?
I am not from your area. We are trying to start one here in Roanoke, Virginia, through our church (Journey Church). Hope you can get one started in your area. I am finding that there are plenty of people here that are excited about this ministry opportunity. There is just no place to meet other singles that are Christian, and really, noone wants to do the bar scene. Let's pray for each other!! For the first time in the history of America, there are more single adults than married adults. It is time!!! God bless!!!!!

Dating single dad, too soon for his kids??Please help?
I've been friends with single dad since Feb of this year. We've been dating since April. I've met his kids 5 %26amp; 12, once; last week we went to the movies and dessert with the kids. I really like him, but know that I need to consider what's in the kids best interest along with what we want.
I was supposed to be getting married on June 30th, the engagement was called off I've been single for 2007...but single dad wanted to do something fun with me on this date, which I think is cool.
That's a kids weekend and his parents have asked to have the kids. But he will need to transport the kids to his parent's city (5 hours away) on June 29th.
He's asked that I go with them, so we can drop them off and go on our own afterwards which I'm fine with, but now he wants us to stay the night at his parents house with the kids...I've met his parents and they actually want us to stay the whole weekend, but we would just stay 1 nite
I'm just worried about it being too soon for the kids...what should I do?
Dating single dad, too soon for his kids??Please help?
Stina, I think that you are right. If your new guy friend has been recently divorced, it seems too soon to introduce a new woman into the picture. You should speak to him about your concerns. After all, you have only been dating a short while. You said that you liked him, and that is great, however, what if things just don't work out and the kid's form an attachment to you? I am by no means saying you might not develop a great relationship with this man, but it is a bit fast. You have not been single for very long either. Why is he in such a hurry to have you stay over at his parents? I am sure you are a nice person, otherwise you would not be concerned about the children first. Make sure he is not looking for something more from you, like an instant new wife and mom. I would pass on the weekend invite or see if he can meet you at a half way point the next day. If you are uncomfortable,tell him how you feel, and if he is a good guy, he should understand your reasoning. I think that going out with the kid's to a movie and dessert was fine, but he really is moving a bit fast. He is probably a little over anxious because he cares about you a lot.
Reply:play games with them, and get to know them.
if they like doing stuff with you, then its not too soon.
take them places etc.
show them that u are their friend and it wont be too soon.
Reply:do you love him?
if u love him i think u have to accept his two kids.
u can try to be friend with his two kids.
kids are cute if u can control them.
about this weekend.
u can try to stay for whole weekend. it will not bored i think. for his kids of course. if they feel comfy with u. they will love u as their mom.
Reply:I was the kid in this situation LONG ago... I loved my step mom to pieces, and could not have cared LESS! the one I'd be worried about is the 12 year old. Make your decision based on vibes from that kid. And may I say, what a lovely person you are to be considering the kids first and foremost... Also, be sure that YOU will be comfortable. Don't use the kids as an excuse if you are less than perfectly cozy with this idea. There's no rush. He probably really likes you and want to gage how you jive with the kids over a weekend, see if he can see you all together as a family. I gotta say, HAVE FUN if you go. Play with the kids, take them shopping, bake cookies, do art projects, get messy! Above all be confident, you're lovely, I 'm sure. Good luck whatever you decide.
Reply:Go with you gut feeling
If you don't feel comfortable then don't, I really believe its too really for his kids to have met you you and him barely know each other
Reply:That is actually very respectful of you to think of them. Maybe the night at the parents you two could sleep apart if you are worried about it. Or, maybe you can talk to the father and see if he would talk to them about it (in a very PG way of course) I think those are your only two options. Hope you have a good time though!
At least his family seems to like you, that is good news ;)
Reply:I think you should go and make the best of it . they obviously like you enough to invite you and that is a good thing if you dont go they might think you dont like them and that would hurt them ,so just go and have a good time . good luck to you .
Reply:You are right to consider the kids. Just talk to the dad and tell him your concerns. If for ANY reason you think this may not work out, it will really hurt the kids if they get attached to you and then you guys break up. Keeping things low key with them is definately the way to go if your unsure at all. Could a hotel also be an option? I understand you don't want to offend his parents either, but they are adults and if you tell them your concerns about the kids they will probably be very understanding.
Good Luck

2 single layer DVDs vs 1 dual layer DVD?
Hello!
here is my question
Is there a size difference between 2 single layer DVD+R, and 1 Dual Layer DVDR? I was burning recorded TV Shows, and they would not fit on a dual layer dvd (it was just about 350 megabytes more), but they did fit onto 2 single layer DVDs, with about 200 megabytes to spare.
I have always though that a dual layer dvd was comparable to 2 single layer dvd.
Can anyone explain the difference in disc capacity?
it might be worth mentioning that I used Nero 7 to do the burn. Not the Nero express
2 single layer DVDs vs 1 dual layer DVD?
single layer 4.7 GB dual is 8.5 GB so there is a 900 MB difference between two singles and a dual
Reply:There is no size difference -- they are both 12 cm. The capacity is different ...
DVD-5 (12 cm, SS/SL) = 4.70 BB
DVD-9 (12 cm, SS/DL) = 8.54 BB
DVD-14 (12 cm, DS/ML) = 13.24 BB
DVD-R 1.0 (12 cm, SS/SL) = 3.95 BB
DVD-R 2.0 (12 cm, SS/SL) = 4.70 BB
DVD-R 2.0 (12 cm, DS/SL) = 9.40 BB
See the FAQ for the facts ...

Do single women find married men more attractive than single men?
I am a single woman that's not yet 30 and not the kind of woman that would break men's marriage but just wondering if single women actually find married men more acttractive, especially if they have not much dating experience.
Do single women find married men more attractive than single men?
yeah, its a jealousy thing - wanting something that someone else has got
Reply:Yes they do, which is why I always wear a wedding band when I go to a bar.
Reply:Yes, but it's really unattractive if you find out that they don't know the meaning of a monogamous marriage. It's weird it's like their sexy, but you know you can't have them, and if you can then they are no longer sexy (to me anyway)
EDIT:
more thoughts... actually to me it's not a sexy like omg I need to have that man, it's like wow I wish I had a man like that (but one of my own that is not married to anyone else), am I making any sense?
Reply:women say the good ones are already taken. so that is why they are on the market for single women(another form of stealing) but then again a man not yet married at that age is either golden age pimpin or damaged goods lady but then again they probably can't find none because they are out chasing the married man. to sum it up we all love adventure.
Reply:only if they have a big bank balance,
and thingy..!!!

Reply:Yes honey! Try it - more reliable - more dependable strange as that may seem - and the sex is great to!
Reply:i think fantasy wise most women wud love to go and have an affair with a married man, but me personally i wudn't actually do it, cos i wudn't wanna be in the guys wifes position. it's jus the risk and excitment at the thought of it. but reality, no
Reply:"the good ones are already taken"?
There are plenty of bad ones taken too!!
Married men are not any more attractive than single men.
Married men have just learned how to keep a woman. Most single (and divorced) men have yet to figure it out, which is why they're still single.
Reply:I do, the guys I find attractive always have a wife/girlfriend!
Reply:Strange but true. My friend and I had been going to the same tavern for several years. Not particularly to meet women but we're always open for it. After he got married and had that gold band he was suddenly approached constantly. And these women we knockouts! I considered buying myself a ring just to get in on the action! ( My dog is a pretty good babe magnet though) So yes to your question and I have no idea why...
Reply:Yes some do and I think it's because married men appear to be more stable, committed and serious (for obvious reasons!)
Women who want to get married are after a particular 'type' of man who is mature enough to say 'I do' once and for all and is able (financially, intelectually, emotionally, spiritually) to enter into a serious life-long relationship of equal give and take. Whether a marriage is actually like that or not is another thing all together but 'marriage' suggests these things and I think that's the main reason that to some single women married men can appear quite attractive.
Reply:With me the opposite is true, I am really put off by married men, I find people who purposely wreck the relationships of others weak and pathetic! A married man making any sort of move on me, makes me cringe, sleazebag is the word that comes to mind...
Reply:I dont........but there is a lot out there with no self respect and will do any married man!
Reply:i don't think so, they are no different
Reply:Yes. It is an odd one though.
Reply:Yes. I'm single, thirty years old, and find married men much more attractive than (most) single men. To me a ring on a finger symbolises that they've evolved, and are mature enough to commit to a woman, and to therefore take the good with the bad. To me there's nothing more attractive than a man who is prepared to face reality head on, and recognise fantasy for what it is. Right or wrong, a wedding ring on a man's finger symbolises that to me. But I would NEVER have an affair with a married man.
Reply:I sure don't. Married men are off limits.
Reply:Not at all.Im 28 now but i must admit when i was a lot younger,eg 17 i thought married men were more attractive but obviously never lived out that fantasy !
Reply:some times not really , they can be sexy but , when you get to know them they are PIGS ,(Some Times)
Reply:It's just the challenge and the forbidden fruit thing.
Reply:Yeeesh.
Thats nasty.
I always figure married men will be worse in bed, because they don't get to practice so much anymore!
Reply:All the good men have been snaffled up, and just the dross is left, that's why they are single
Reply:God I hope so!
Reply:yes i think so, as theyre more experienced and unavailable makes them more interesting
Reply:In my experience when I'm attached Loads of girls give me their attention (the hypothetical wait for a bus and 3 come along syndrome)
This is mainly to do when I'm single I'm not as I'mmaculate and in tune with females as is necessary to attract their attention.
So what im trying to say is the reason why most ladies may covert a married man is that he seems more well kept and behaved and a much better catch as he is already proven to be marriage material
Reply:no, i am close to ur age, but married men attract me only till the time i dont know they are married. in my dictionary, they are a definite no-no

Why do single women not want single men? but single men want single women?
I tried an experiment once: I posted an ad of an average-looking girl. The ad said that she was looking for a man to come over a few times a week and massage her back, and that’s all (no reciprocation). Lo and behold!—Hundreds (that’s no exaggeration), yes, hundreds of men responded to the ad, wanting to come over and give the woman in the ad a massage, and they would get nothing in return. Giving her [platonic] pleasure would be their pleasure.
In the next part of the experiment, I posted an ad of an average-looking guy who was looking for a massage partner. That is, the two would get together and trade massages. Guess what? No one—not a single girl—responded to the ad.
What baffles me is why, whenever a girl wants a guy to do something for her (even without reciprocation), she gets hundreds and hundreds of men to chose from. But when a guy wants a girl to do something for him (even with reciprocation), no one wants him.
Why do single women not want single men? but single men want single women?
Because guys think that if they do somthing for any reason, that maybe one day things will change and there may be somthing for them later, i.e. relationship, sex etc. Now the girls think that the guy is only want ing to get them there for sex and hook up, regardless if he is offering somthing in return or not. It's pretty much true, but the women dont want to put themselves into the situation. SUCKS!!!! Cuz we all want it anyways so why cant we all just get along and DO IT!!
Reply:cos men are hunters and women are the hunted. it would be interestig to find out where women are in the world who are less timid than British ones though as i find them a bit scared from trying anything.
Reply:I think it is because when a woman is looking for something like a massage it seems more innocent than a man asking for a massage. Girls are going to be a little more weary about a guy wanting to find a "massage partner"...Sounds a little iffy to me. Maybe if you changed the wording around you would be more successful.
Reply:those men were married with families and all.when a man does that he is looking for more than just that massage.and vice versa,with the female experiment i am pretty sure those men were looking for more than just giving that lady the massage! Personally myself, i would prefer to have a man that is single so that means that my time is not divided.Plus i am not a homewrecker!

What baffles me is why, whenever a girl wants a guy to do something for her (even without reciprocation), she gets hundreds and hundreds of men to chose from. But when a guy wants a girl to do something for him (even with reciprocation), no one wants him.
Why do single women not want single men? but single men want single women?
Because guys think that if they do somthing for any reason, that maybe one day things will change and there may be somthing for them later, i.e. relationship, sex etc. Now the girls think that the guy is only want ing to get them there for sex and hook up, regardless if he is offering somthing in return or not. It's pretty much true, but the women dont want to put themselves into the situation. SUCKS!!!! Cuz we all want it anyways so why cant we all just get along and DO IT!!
Reply:cos men are hunters and women are the hunted. it would be interestig to find out where women are in the world who are less timid than British ones though as i find them a bit scared from trying anything.
Reply:I think it is because when a woman is looking for something like a massage it seems more innocent than a man asking for a massage. Girls are going to be a little more weary about a guy wanting to find a "massage partner"...Sounds a little iffy to me. Maybe if you changed the wording around you would be more successful.
Reply:those men were married with families and all.when a man does that he is looking for more than just that massage.and vice versa,with the female experiment i am pretty sure those men were looking for more than just giving that lady the massage! Personally myself, i would prefer to have a man that is single so that means that my time is not divided.Plus i am not a homewrecker!
Can single parent students claim housing benefit?
Full time student who is a single parent can they claim housing benefit? As there seems to be some confusion with the regulations which state "that in July and August single parent students can claim benefits". However, does this rule for housing benefit apply when the student is a single parent of a child still in fulltime education and under the age of 18?
Can single parent students claim housing benefit?
housing benefit and council tax benefit should still be covered. Income support and unemployment benefit will no longer be paid.

New single coils for Fender Strat?
I have a Fender Standard Stratocaster that was originally equipped with three single-coils. I swapped out the bridge pickup for a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails pickup. It's an amazing pickup, but I am now looking to replace the other two single-coils. I want to keep the single-coil sound, but I want a lot of output without the hum. Should I go with Lace Sensors or Fender Hot Noiseless pickups?
I play mostly metal, noise, alternative, and blues music. I'm very experimental.
New single coils for Fender Strat?
Go with the Fender pickups...for metal (esp.), you will find they will respond better.
Reply:The Lace Sensors really sound nice driving a bank of effects!

Hey single folk (who are still single or previously single folk), what's your take on this?
I've heard it said that the longer someone remains single (usually after being married/divorced) the slimer the chances of them getting remarried.....(or said another way..married again) Answer/opinions?
Hey single folk (who are still single or previously single folk), what's your take on this?
You can't put a time frame on finding the right person. Some people remain single by choice. Others fall for the first available person. Smart people, shop around, know what they want and don't fall for the first available person. Have faith in God that he will bring the right person to you.
Reply:Yep. It's true. And it seems that guys are opting out of the game of divorce that "you cannot win, and you cannot quit" altogether.
The truth is that more than 67% of marriages will end in divorce. 92% of the time it will be initiated by the woman for no other reason than she is “unfulfilled” – oh, and because she gets the kids, the house, at least ½ the assets and most of his future after tax income for the next 18 years. The man will get raked over in family court. He will lose the house. He will see his kids 2 out of 14 days (if the ex doesn't level unsubstantiated "abuse" claims.) He will be forced to hand over 40-50% of his take-home pay. If he loses his job due to illness or downsizing, the State will toss him in jail. While jailed the arrearage will grow and the state will charge interest. The State will revoke his driver's and professional licenses, make him virtually unemployable.
If you were to take up sky-diving, and the instructor informed you that 67% of the parachutes were defective, would you take the plunge?

Reply:Well I'm not single due to a divorce or anything. But I say that is true for some. I mean look at Halle Berry for quite some time she said she wasn't going to get remarried. And soon as she got a bit more involved with her current boyfriend, she has changed her view. Btw they says she is preggars from the guy now. But anyway, I think it really depends on how much the person has grown and healed themselves over the time they have been divorced. If someone is still holding a grudge about their ex they will naturally say they never wish to be married again. And in a way that is kind of understandable but eventually you have to get past it to make any progress in a new relationship, rather it ends in marriage or not.

Single or In a Relationship (Women Only)?
I am 21 years old and sometimes I am afraid to ask a girl out because I am not sure if it would lead to be "just friends" or more than just friends. Would a single women rather be in a relationship or not? Another words; would women rather be "just friends" with the opposite sex or be in a relationship?
Single or In a Relationship (Women Only)?
There is no generalization like that about women. Some women want to be in relationships, some don't.
By not asking, you are choosing to stay single. Why not just ask the girl out? If she isn't interested in a relationship then you are no worse off than you are now...but if she is, then you two might be a good match.
Your reasoning not to ask, makes no sense if you desire to be in a relationship. By not asking, you are definitely not going to be in a relationship unless you luck out and a chick approaches you, that you are interested in.
The above assumes you want to be in a relationship. If you don't want to, then don't ask a woman out just get to know her and hang out and let a friendship develop. Asking someone out on a date, is typically an indication of someone who is open to a relationship....or hopes to get sex....but not so much someone just seeking friendship.
Reply:personally i love being in a relationship as long as im attracted to the guy other wise theres no point in being in one. Having the oposite sex as a friend is great as well as men dont ***** as much as women and say things to your face rather then behind your back.
It's best to start off as friends, but dont become like BEST friends! If you do that then your never get that women. Earn her trust first and make sure you reasure her that your be there for her when things get tough and try and compliment them once in a while.
I gave this advice to a mate....and we're now together. So he used my advice against me and got me.
So I know it works :P
Reply:it all depends on the girl you are asking. geez. stupid question. not all women want to be in a relationship every second of their lives and not all women want to be single ever second of their lives. thats why there are so many freaking people. we're not all the same.
Reply:um, why don't you talk to the damn girl first instead of trying to guess what they want? if i like a person, i'll want to start a relationship.
Reply:Only one way to find out, by asking a girl out. You'll never know unless you try.

Is he single or taken?
First he says he can't believe he going on 30 years old and still single.
Then another time he says he a single guy in his 20's.
Then a week before Christmas Break,he passed around a picture of,what people say is his girlfriend,and ask him how come he never talks about her,
Then on Tuesday,people asked him, "how is your girlfriend"and he responded with "which one?"
Then on Thursday he said that he would like to date Jessica Alba, I can't ask him about his situation because he says that he doesn't like to talk about his personal life. So do you think he single or taken?

Do single mother feminized their own son?
I know this is a generalization but I have seen many instance of this in real life..
It seem like many single mother out there feminized their own son, as a result many young boys raised by single mother get push around by women once they grow up.
Why do many single mother do this? Do they care about the well being of their son at all?
Do single mother feminized their own son?
lol I haven't met a single mother's son who let everybody push him around.
Reply:i am a single mum. and i will teach my son not to hit women and to respect them but also not to take anyshit or be under the thumb. i will tell them treat her how you would like to be treated. with love and respect.
if he turns out gay then it will be the same advice but towards men......
Reply:ok, time for me to get slapped probably.
i half agree with your statement / question:
i have a 10yr old step son with my fiancee who separated from her hubby when the boy was just ove 1yr old - and he has turned into a right mammy's boy - soft as can be!
now this isnt to say that he will grow up to be pushed around by women, but he has never been a boys' boy - he's always been 'girly' - odd phrase.
our son is the complete opposite - he's already started to be a 'proper' little boy - cars, rough %26amp; tumble etc - cant help but think that this has something to do with the amout of time we / me play with him?

Happy Singles Awareness Day! So why are you single?
You see, sometimes I do have urge to get a girlfriend, but it's just that I don't understand how people have time to do that! I mean even if you're single I'm sure you can still do something for other people and other people care about you. I mean, when I was in elementary school, I asked this old woman why she didn't marry and she said she was OK with not marrying. I don't know, it may be a bad influence, but we still need to be aware that life is not just about love! You can still be happy. You should realize, if you haven't, how much of an irony the name Singles Awareness Day (SAD) is.
Happy Singles Awareness Day! So why are you single?
Because its drama free and no one tells me what to do.
I can date who I want, when I want and meet who I want without anyone getting mad, jealous or threatening to break up with me.
I can be free.
And I love it.
Reply:i m single bcoz i m a muslim n dont want to date any one before my marriage as my religion does not allow me to ...n i m happy..tats more important...
Reply:Why bother with a Girlfriend when you should proud of your Single its only Valentine's Day If you are Married, In a Relationship or LGBT, otherwise Its (SAD) as in Singles Awareness Day so Just Enjoy the Moment will you.
Reply:In my opinion people who stay single for long periods of time do so for one of two reasons. One, they can't find a partner, usually b/c they are shy or ugly... realistically a combination of both. (The most attractive people usually aren't very shy b/c everyone fawns over them like the second coming of Christ.) The other reason is b/c they're so popular w/ the opposite sex that they can literally play the field and sleep around w/ whoever they want. So, they don't want to settle down b/c they'd rather just party and hook up w/ a different person each weekend.
As for not having the time to date, that's a lame excuse. Consider that if you average 8 hrs of sleep per night, then you're looking 112 hrs per week when you're awake. Even if you work like crazy and do two jobs and all of that, most people aren't topping 70 hrs. So, what are you doing w/ the rest of your time?? Video games? TV? Mountain biking? Hiking? Skiing? Snowboarding? Playing cards? Chess? Going to the gym? You get my point. If you find a girlfriend who's interested in some of your same hobbies, then you can do them together, as dates, and enjoy each other's company while doing an activity you both love. Yeah, you'll see your friends less and see her somewhat often to sustain a relationship, but honestly, all the sex usually makes that more than worth it. That's not to say you HAVE to desire a relationship, but lack of time is not a good excuse for being single if you want a girlfriend and that's the only barrier that's holding you back from getting one.

Do single, never been wed, childless men look for single mothers for a serious relationship?

Do single, never been wed, childless men look for single mothers for a serious relationship?
i honestly believe that dating a single mother is not that big of a deal but marring one would be different...
1 i personaly would like to start a family fresh
2 i would not want to attach myself to anothers child...
i think there is a stigma to it but i also believe for every guy there is like me there is another that would love to date marry you.... and help raise your son....

Reply:Guess what, I was a 27 year old,divorced, single mum to 2 children until I got into a relationship with my now boyfriend - he has never been married and has no children of his own. He is fantastic! He's also great with the kids. We've been together over a year now, he hasn't moved in with us or anything yet - we're just taking it slow and it's working out great! so, yes they do!

i honestly believe that dating a single mother is not that big of a deal but marring one would be different...
1 i personaly would like to start a family fresh
2 i would not want to attach myself to anothers child...
i think there is a stigma to it but i also believe for every guy there is like me there is another that would love to date marry you.... and help raise your son....
another thing
i would never disreguard a woman because she had a child i would just want to be very careful not to hurt the child...
and slow....
Reply:yes they are..
i'm single and i know therr anre ppl who wanting u..
even i want but not now...
gud luck in finding one..

Reply:A lot of guys date single Moms. I don't have children %26amp; I'm getting married but my fiance has had two serious relationships with single Mothers. One of them had 3 kids so that was a little overwhelming. Also, my best friend who is male dates single Moms A LOT.
Reply:YES they do..
After my divorce, for 12yrs i was single thinking no one would want me than just realised hey I want a partner so I joined a dating site and eventually found a great guy and we have been married for 6mths..
don't give up, you will definetly find someone special in time
Reply:well, i won't say they look for but it can happen.
i have a friend who's also a single mom, she has 2 kids. she had a wonderful relationship with a single guy who is even younger than her. they are happilly married right now. the guy is really nice, good-looking, responsible and most importantly-loves her children very much.
Reply:Guess what, I was a 27 year old,divorced, single mum to 2 children until I got into a relationship with my now boyfriend - he has never been married and has no children of his own. He is fantastic! He's also great with the kids. We've been together over a year now, he hasn't moved in with us or anything yet - we're just taking it slow and it's working out great! so, yes they do!
Should Single Women be able to get IVF on the NHS?
Kamran in current events ealier asked "should gay couples be able to adopt" and I said no, not until Single women are able to get IVF on the NHS.
Single women are the only group who can not get IVF on the NHS. Lesbians %26amp; hetro couples can, but not a single woman
Is this unfair. If you think it is why and if you think it isn't why not?
I think it is utterly unfair.
Should Single Women be able to get IVF on the NHS?
I don't think married women should have it, especially the bible bashers who come on here and start to throw insults at everyone else who doesn't lead the immaculate life that they do.
Reply:I don't think anyone should get it on the NHS. There are many kids awaiting adoption, and the population of the planet is already reaching critical mass.
Reply:I actually don't think *anyone* should be able to get IVF on the NHS. I feel genuinely sorry for those who would like children and can't have them, but I don't see why the tax payer should fund their treatment, especially when there are huge waiting lists for other forms of medical and surgical treatment which are actually necessary. So, I can see why you think it is discriminatory that single women can't get IVF treatment, but the short answer to your question is that no, they shouldn't be able to get it.
With regard to adoption, I'm not actually sure of UK laws but I know that in most countries, the biological mother of the child can have quite a lot of say in regard to who she allows to adopt her child. I know that I personally, if I were to give a child up for adoption, would not want to allow a gay couple to raise it. I know a lot of people might say that this is homophobic and I suppose to an extent it is, but that would just be my own personal choice. Now, if gay couples were allowed legally to adopt, you might find that many mothers would choose not to allow them to do so anyway.
Edit: I am unsure why you bothered posting this question if you are only going to write sarcastic responses to those who disagree with you. I thought the point of this forum was that people could share opinions and ideas.
Reply:I don't think it takes TWO PEOPLE to raise a child.
I think there should deffinately be an intestive screening processes but if a woman wants a child and is single then she should be able to.
I was a single parent for many years and a damn good one, had a great job - bought my first home ....and my son was happy. I would rather one really great parent that two average ones.
So yes I do think it is totally unfair also.
If you are able to love, financially care and support the child for the long run than you should be able to do this process - it only makes sense.
So again I will say it doesn't take two ppl to raise a happy well adjusted child!
Reply:Women shouldn't be discriminated against in this way but you would have to take on the whole of society to make the change - a mammoth task in any ones eyes.
Life isn't fair and having had children in both states (single and married) I can say there are benefits to both but there is far more stigma for a single mum.
Society is full of silly preconceptions many based in myth and misconception but people hate change.
Its a bit like suggesting we should change the mainly female workforce of teachers in infant schools to mainly male....Imagine the up roar.
There is so much suffering in the world it overshadows things that are closer to home.
Reply:I don't think that anyone should get IVF on the NHS. If it was an endless pit of plentiful resources, then fine, but we all know that it isn't. Not having a baby is not going to kill you. I appreciate that it may have a serious psychological effect on people, but at the end of the day it isn't going to cause you to drop down dead. I have serious asthma and have to take a large amount of drugs everyday to stop me, to be blunt, dying. Despite this, the NHS will not fund these drugs and I almost bankrupt myself every month when I get my prescription. I therefore find it highly irritating when I see people receiving non life saving treatment on the NHS at the expense of people like me. What on earth puts their right to have a baby before my right to life?
Reply:I tend to agree with you. This practice discriminates against single women and discrimination is wrong whatever group we're talking about. I don't think the question of gay adoption is dependent on single women getting IVF on the NHS though. Again, there should be no discrimination and provided a child can be brought up in a stable and loving environment people should be allowed to adopt whatever their sexual orientation/religious beliefs/ethnicity etc. etc.
Reply:No...I don't even think married women should get assisted conception on the NHS. It makes no sense to me to spend significant sums of public money on this while we can't even afford to keep the hospitals halfway clean and staffed.
Reply:If you want a baby you can have one. Why whine about things?
Reply:No, personally I don't think it's unfair, look what all the single parents on the estates have done for our youth?
There's a reason it takes two to tango.......
In nature, it takes one male and one female to make young, that is so one can look after baby the other can earn, both give guidance from their own perspective.
A child needs two loving parents, unless circumstances make that impossible, a child should not start out live at a disadvantage!
Reply:I didn't realise gay couples could get IVF on the NHS, it does seem a bit unfair doesn't it and I think your point about people who go out of their way truly do want children and make fantastic parents (single or otherwise). It reminds me of all of those debates about whether or not women should be able to use their dead husband's sperm to conceive.
Reply:Really unfair I think. Who's business is it to judge peoples parenting skills. I know a few women who want to bring up children on their own, without men and they are fantastic parents and strong women. The same should go for a single man wanting the same, although obviously the route to having a child would be different for them.
Reply:I agree it's unfair. While I don't think women have a god-given right to have babies even if the state has to support them, I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman wanting to have a baby but not a partner.
A woman who finds it easier to conceive could just go out and get herself knocked up by a total stranger... so a less fertile should have some way to conceive as well.
Plus, it makes good social / economic sense. The average age of the population in the UK is increasing... the only way to make sure that when we're old there're enough young people to support us %26amp; pay our pensions is for people to have more babies. Or import them (another reason why immigration is a good thing).

Is he single or taken?
First he says he can't believe he going on 30 years old and still single.
Then another time he says he a single guy in his 20's.
Then a week before Christmas Break,he passed around a picture of,what people say is his girlfriend,and ask him how come he never talks about her,
Then on Tuesday,people asked him, "how is your girlfriend"and he responded with "which one?"
Then on Thursday he said that he would like to date Jessica Alba, I can't ask him about his situation because he says that he doesn't like to talk about his personal life. So do you think he single or taken?
Is he single or taken?
And don't ask me why do I care,I care because I like him more than a friend.

it seems to me he is one of those funny guys that you can't seem to get a serious answer out of. i know those guys well and honestly i can see why you probable like him, i fell for a lot in the past.

Still single in NYC?
I'm turning 30 next week and I'm still single. I'm Ivy League educated, have my own apartment, work, I do yoga, travel often,I'm very creative, honest, and have only been intimate with one man. I was with him for 6 years and it's been two years since he left me for someone else and I have not been even on one date. I go to concerts and try to go out as much as possible but nothing. I'm fit and most people think that I'm attractive. Have you ever been single or know someone who's been single for more than 2 years? Do you think that's normal?
Still single in NYC?
I was single for almost two years at one point in my life. NYC is a rough town to be single in too(been there, done that!); and it is even harder when you have not been in the dating scene for a while. Think about it: while everyone was out there playing the field in their early and mid-twenties, you were in a relationship. I think it is also somewhat smart of you to have been on your own for the past two years. You find yourself again and if you are not grounded, then what good would another relationship be?
And as for "normal" . . . your fine. I have given up on that word and concept . . . especially in NYC. To each his own. No one is normal. we all have our issues and we all follow our own path in life whether it looks like the next person's or not doesn't make it necessarily the wrong or odd path to walk. Did that make sense??
Good luck and enjoy yourself, above all else. Everything will fall into place. It may not be when you want it, or when you expect it.
Reply:baby, that perfectly normal. there's nothing wrong with being single at 30. its just a matter of time until u'll find somebody. all good things happan to those who wait. hey, add me to your msn if u have one or just email me back. would love to knw more about u.
Reply:There is nothing unusual about being 30 and single in NYC for two years. While I applaud you on your accomplishments, nowhere in your piece did you mention any of the emotional qualities important to being one half of a romantic couple. If your only consideration and focus are the things you mention in your story, is it any wonder you 're still single. Although a good education, your own apartment, and a job are important, they are not the emotionally bonding qualities necessary for a relationship. My suggestion to you is to: 1)Indulge in some introspection and discover the qualities you want in a life partner. 2) Find out your qualities which you are going to offer the other person in your life 3) Discover the compromises you are willing to make to have a happy romance, in what areas and how much; for example educational, monetary, and physical accommodations you are willing to make. 4) The goals you want for that romance-- does it include marriage, and children(how many), religious needs and so on. The minute you have the answers to some or all of the questions above, then focus on them and start going out on dates in order to meet guys with whom you could build that relationship. I wish you the best and please do not forget to send me a wedding invitation at the appropriate time.
Reply:Hello? I lived in NYC for 12 years and didn't move out until I met my husband there; I was 35, he was 29.
NYC is the WORST place to meet committed men. Oh yes, they are around; all the really cute, determined, hot, men.
I learned when I was there (and I continued to sleep with men there all through my 20's and into my early 30's, then I gave up a little); that men in NYC are there for mostly one thing: career.
Oh yes, they like women, but they don't want to settle down. NYC doesn't foster marriage or commitment, it's too crazy and fast-paced. LIke you, they are ambitious and have a huge pond of pretty women to pick from. They have left their core families and don't value marriage, etc.
Don't mean to be negative, but been there done that. The only reason ONE of the men I finally ended up with wanted to marry me was because he was born there and his parents lived there and it was a HOME situation.
And yes, I've gone as much as 3 years without sex; we're smart and we get picky.

Filing Single/0......?
My filing status was changed from Married/0 to Single/0 back in late January (I don't remember changing) and didn't realize until now on my W-2. Problem is no taxes were taken out ALL year! Isn't Single/0 the highest deduction or am I mis-informed? How can this be????? I am a single parent and normally get a large refund and now I feel doomed with probably owing an enormous amount.....Help!?
Filing Single/0......?
First off, you're talking about your withholding status, not your filing status. If your withholding status was Single-0 the highest amount of tax would have been withheld from your pay.
Your employer can show you the copy of the Form W4 that you signed. It will reflect the withholding status that you claimed.
If no tax was withheld from your pay your income must be quite low -- low enough that you wouldn't have any tax liability anyway. You probably qualify for the EITC which would account for the large refund that you are accustomed to receiving.
Without knowing what your income was and how much if any tax was withheld it's not possible to tell you much else. If you wish, post the amounts in boxes 1 and 2 on your Form W2 and maybe I can give you a more complete explanation.
Reply:yes it is the highest paid tax rate you just have to file then you will know what you will get back or if you will owe them but good luck as being a single mom big hugss and lots of love to you for being a single mom
Reply:Single/0 is the highest rate of tax withholding.
Maybe you just didn't earn enough?
If you think you owe, then for the next year see if your employer can keep the single/0 and then take MORE out. You will have to specify exactly how much more.
Did you owe taxes last year when you filed? If not and your income didn't change much in 2006 from what you earned in 2005, then most likely your tax due won't change much.
Reply:If you made that much, and your W-4 said single 0, then they should have been taking taxes taken out. Didn't you notice when your paycheck suddenly went up a lot? It's possible that your W-4 was filled out wrong, or that the person putting it into the payroll system where you work messed up. In any case, it's too late to change that for last year, although I'd check with them right away and get it corrected for future paychecks.
This year, don't count on a large refund. Since you're a single parent, you are probably eligible for the Earned Income Credit, which will help some if you owe taxes. The EIC would probably make up for what you might owe, but you won't get a lot back.
If you owe (unlikely) but aren't able to pay it all right now, then file anyway by April. The IRS will contact you about a payment plan. They do this all the time, so you won't be in trouble except for having to pay what you owe.
Good luck.
Reply:You will probably not owe much if anything. You are a single parent and I am guessing that if you got a HUGE refund in the past, you should have enough child credits etc. to end up not oweing. Plus you do not have to file single/0. File Head of household and with your dependent(s) this should take care of it for you. Also, it is possible they didn't take anything out because you haven't made enough this year. Sometimes job places can be funny with this. We have experienced this in the past without any pending doom looming over our heads and without anything in oweing. What about earned income credit? Child care? Any other deductions? Unless you are of a higher income you can take advantage of these things and come out fine, maybe even a little ahead. We didn't have much taken out this year and have a nice, little, return. Blessings
Filing Single/0......?
First off, you're talking about your withholding status, not your filing status. If your withholding status was Single-0 the highest amount of tax would have been withheld from your pay.
Your employer can show you the copy of the Form W4 that you signed. It will reflect the withholding status that you claimed.
If no tax was withheld from your pay your income must be quite low -- low enough that you wouldn't have any tax liability anyway. You probably qualify for the EITC which would account for the large refund that you are accustomed to receiving.
Without knowing what your income was and how much if any tax was withheld it's not possible to tell you much else. If you wish, post the amounts in boxes 1 and 2 on your Form W2 and maybe I can give you a more complete explanation.
Reply:yes it is the highest paid tax rate you just have to file then you will know what you will get back or if you will owe them but good luck as being a single mom big hugss and lots of love to you for being a single mom
Reply:Single/0 is the highest rate of tax withholding.
Maybe you just didn't earn enough?
If you think you owe, then for the next year see if your employer can keep the single/0 and then take MORE out. You will have to specify exactly how much more.
Did you owe taxes last year when you filed? If not and your income didn't change much in 2006 from what you earned in 2005, then most likely your tax due won't change much.
Reply:If you made that much, and your W-4 said single 0, then they should have been taking taxes taken out. Didn't you notice when your paycheck suddenly went up a lot? It's possible that your W-4 was filled out wrong, or that the person putting it into the payroll system where you work messed up. In any case, it's too late to change that for last year, although I'd check with them right away and get it corrected for future paychecks.
This year, don't count on a large refund. Since you're a single parent, you are probably eligible for the Earned Income Credit, which will help some if you owe taxes. The EIC would probably make up for what you might owe, but you won't get a lot back.
If you owe (unlikely) but aren't able to pay it all right now, then file anyway by April. The IRS will contact you about a payment plan. They do this all the time, so you won't be in trouble except for having to pay what you owe.
Good luck.

Can single people celebrate Valentine's Day too?
Most people think of Valentine's day as a couple or Love thing. Well a lot of us single men and women don't have a special someone in our lives, but that doesn't mean we can't get or do anything special. Any advice?
For instance I'm single, but I really like this guy, we're friends and all and he knows how much I like him. So the sweetest thing he could do is to ask me out on Valentine's Day. Take me out to eat or just come over and watch a movie. I don't think that's too much is it? But I'd be really shocked if something like that happened. Shoot I be happy if he just called to say happy Valentine's day.
What is the best Valentines day gift to get or do for a friend??

Can single people celebrate Valentine's Day too?
I think you should ask him out! Maybe he's interested but not forward enough to ask you out. Ask him over for dinner, make a nice semi-romantic dinner, nothing too over the top cuz you don't wanna scare him. If something happens, cool, and if not, you're in no worse place than you were before.
I think that the best Valentine's Day gift is to simply tell someone how much you care about them. Tell a friend how much their friendship means to you... send them a card or an e-card with your feeling. Everyone loves to be loved and appreciated.
There's absolutely no reason singles can't celebrate Valentine's Day. If you don't have a date, hook up with other single friends and have some fun. Or just treat yourself to your favorite meal, your favorite movie, buy yourself something you've wanted for a long time...
I hope everything works out for you!
Reply:OF COURSE!! You can celebrate even if your single(like me).
I think a good v-day gift is something that really came from you not some expensive thing.....Be creative!
Reply:I would if you dont have no one to spend the day with or a bor or girl driend
Reply:Of course "Singles" can celebrate Valentines day. It is just that our way of celebrating is a little different. A few friends of mine would go quackers over the spring solstice planning season, but i always enjoy mocking couples, and reading books on tragic deaths of couples with a few of my close friends over a fireplace with hot chocolate or tea (depends on the weather). Thus, after all that mirth, we huddle over a birthday cake, and drink to our heart's content. ^_^

Reply:I am always single on V day, and I always look cute for it. Dress in red/pink, and wear something you love. Then, you will feel great about yourself with or without someone else!
It kind of depends on the friend as to the gift - but creative ideas are things like donations in their name. Or, if there's a lonely older woman you know, send her roses anonymously. It will make you feel great knowing you brightened her day! Or decorate your desk with a few hearts - buy some Hershey's kisses and leave them in the staff lounge.
Instead of worrying (which everyone does) try doing some random acts of kindness to show your love this v-day!
Reply:yes.
Reply:OFCOURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You love your dog, Love your mom, Love your best friend right then why do we have to someone. we cant miss out on a fun night waiting like damsels in distress.
Reply:Of course. For the past 10 or more years I've given cards and chocolates to everyone near and dear to me ... my parents, kids, mate and siblings. I think it's the one day out of the whole year, where you can freely express your love and adoration. Spread some love 'round tc22 .. everyone needs some on Valentine's Day. :)

Single and Double Replacement Paper help?
I have to write a 2pg. paper on single and double replacements for chemistry class. I need suggestions for what to talk about in the paper.
When and/or when single/double replacements occur
What is a single + double replacement
etc.
I just need more ideas (topics) to mention in the paper.
Thank you so much for you help!
Single and Double Replacement Paper help?
Okay, here are the topics I would cover, if I were writing this paper:
(A) What are two types of single displacement reactions (look up "cationic single displacement" and "anionic single displacement", and be able to explain the difference)? Give a few examples of each kind.
(B) How can you predict when a single displacement reaction will occur? Make reference to the activity series of metals. Use it to make specific predictions.
For example, you might predict that aluminum displaces copper ions from solution. But why? How is that information displayed in the activity series?
(C) Explain what a double displacement reaction is and give a few examples. Explain how a double displacement reaction is different from a single displacement reaction.
(D) Can you use diagrams? A nice diagram showing the two reactions illustrated would add much to your project. At least, it would if I were grading it. Ask your teacher.
(E) Explain what makes a double displacement reaction occur. What has to form in order for a DD reaction to occur (and as a hint, there's more than one possible answer to that question)?
(F) Reference a list of solubility rules and weak acids. Use it to back up your predictions.
You should be able to get 2 pages out of that. Good luck with your project!
EDIT: Oh, and I'm sure you figured this out, but displacement=replacement. Just in case you were wondering.

Single Mom Roommates? Is it Bizarre or Convenient?
Don’t mind me, this just popped in my head. I hear how single moms struggle...etc. Is it crazy to have some kind of program or site where a single mom finds another single mom to roommate with (if you don't have family or friends)? Teamwork and work around each other schedule? But than again maybe unsafe, huh?
Single Mom Roommates? Is it Bizarre or Convenient?
http://www.coabode.com/....... it pretty much exists....
Reply:Some areas have apartments setup for single parents ( I say parents because they have gotten fathers as well) where they work together as a support group. The parents I believe go through background checks and aren't allowed to live in the apartment complex if they have a violent or drug history. I don't know of many places like that but there are a few that i have heard of before on tv or in the papers. They seem to be working. Also I do know 2 woman that are single parents that just couldn't make it on their own so they rented a 3 bedroom and live together with their kids and it works for them.
Reply:Convenient. If the two mothers were (or became) good friends, it could work really well. Of course, entering into such a program would be risky, and possibly too much work so it wouldn't be too convenient. If the two mothers were already good friends I think it could be good for them to consider the idea.
Reply:I did it for several years after I was divorced. It worked out very good for us. We rented a nice house shared expenses, and many times covered each others babysitting needs. It is probably best to share with someone you know because you do each have to be responsible for expenses and it is a big plus to be compatible.
Reply:I actually did this gig for 3 years and it was the best deal for both of us...moms that is! We pooled our resources and rented a 4-2-2 home and raised our kids together for 3 years. Kids had the best of schools that we could offer and neighborhood was great for all. When it was time to move on (I was getting married), we made plans so each had time to react and regroup.
Reply:I think that would be a wonderful idea, but only as long as both parties were willing to pull their own weight, financially and with housework.
I also wouldn't want to be stuck living with someone who has the toddler from hell, lol!

Are most people single in their adolescent stage, compared to those who aren't?
I mean, are a majority of young people under 20 single compared to those who are in relationships? Were you single for the most part? What were your reasons why? Is it possible to be single forever, is it unhealthy?
Me, the reasons was because I didn't trust girls, many of them were bad (mean and probable wanting kids in the future), I had too much schoolwork to do, my addiction to video games, and being uncomfortable around people. And based on my childfree status, its hard to find a good girl, since a majority of them are bad.
So basically, are a majority of people of the younger generation single, compared to those who aren't?
PS: People can say I'm f'ed up in the head for my personal preference and perspective. Sometimes I'd rather stay single, since most girls want kids and are making impossible for me.
Are most people single in their adolescent stage, compared to those who aren't?
I'm 16 (17 in August) and I am single (Never been on a date once). I am single because I truly don't think I am ready for such a relationship. I have so much going on in my life right now (Stress, school etc) and I don't think I'd be able to give the attention to my boyfriend that he needs.
And another reason why I am single........ over protective Mom. She honestly doesn't seem to care of thinking of me and the opposite sex.
But I honestly don't want to be in a relationship, the way I am right now. I wouldn't be able to handle it, I'm sure I would end up just hurting or pushing the guy away, and best to know that now, rather than after starting up a relationship.

Reply:who knows?my friends are all single but they get bfs all teh time. im always single because im in a majority Caucasian area and so the guys here don't like me.
Reply:It's just based on who they are and how they want it to be like that.
Reply:I think it depends more on your personality. I was usually single because I just wasn't interested in guys. I didn't want the drama that came with dating and I preferred to hang out with my friends. I was never truly "serious" about a boy until I started dating my husband at 16 (married him at 18). Once we got serious, I wanted to be with him, but I think that was only because I felt like he was the "right" guy. To be fair, I did have trust issues when it came to the opposite sex.
My husband, however, seemed to be born with a girlfriend. He was always dating or "seeing" someone, even in elementary school. He's just the type of person that needs someone around. That being said, he'd break up after 4 months (wierd, eh?). So getting him over his 4 month hump was a huge emotional step for him (married 10 years now, lol). Some people just need that emotional connection, even if they are 10 and its a completely chaste relationship.

have less or no static but sound "muddy" at high distortion because of added bass and output. So, is it possible to get a single coil to have high output or vice versa? Humbucker get clear sounds, alotta highs. I dont mean stacked or railed single coils either.
Single coils and humbuckers?
Only cheap hums will sound muddy at high distortion. Humbuckers were first constructed to handle heavy distortion and to give a warmer sound than squeaky clean, bright singles. When singles are heavily distorted, they often start to cut out and make noise. Even nice ones do this, unless they're Fender's vintage noiseless pickups. While they still don't do great with distortion, they handle it much better than other singles do. So no, single coils can't really be driven hard, although they do well with a nice, smooth overdrive, à la SRV or Clapton.
To answer your other question, humbuckers handle clean, low-output signals better than singles handle high output, dirty signals. While you will still want a Strat for boutique clean tone, a Les Paul or other guitar with good hums should do okay for clean tone. Single coils actually handle high pitches better than the more bass-oriented humbuckers do. That's why all the lead guitarists used to use Strats, while lots of punk guitarists who just play distorted chords like Pauls. In later years, humbuckers have been improved to better handle highs. (Slash of G'nR and Velvet Revolver played and still plays a Les Paul with humbuckers; so did Jimmy Page, Joe Walsh, Joe Perry, and many others--after the pickups had been improved.)
Humbuckers are better all around, unless you're dying to play some electric blues that require some slightly dirty blues drive and lots of clean highs. Single coils just aren't built for heavy distortion, not even those on Jacksons, ESPs, and other metal guitars (which occasionally have singles coupled with hums on them.)

Reply:My personal take on this: I like single coils for clean sparkly things , and i rarely use them for heavy distotion settings cause they are too brittle and weak sounding, plus the "Static" sound you describe , which is the 60 cycle hum that is associated with those. The humbucker types are almost "A Must" for me and heavy sounds, cause they drive the amp well, and give all the smoother yet big clarity sound for me. Humbuckers (especially the rear position) sound unclean and very dark with a clean setting. A lot of it also depends on your amp settings too, don't forget that. Don't pass of the stacked or rail coils, you get the best of both worlds with those, and noiseless single coils? i don't believe in such a thing. LOL!
Reply:I think you have 2 options: either put "coil taps" on humbuckers (effectively making them the same as single coils... sort of) or use the "P-90" style of single-coil pickup, which has massive windings compared to the standard single coil pickups. However, the P-90 style pickups don't sound the same - some people like them and some people hate them, so you should listen to a guitar that has some good ones on it, like Seymour Duncan "Phat Cat" P-90s, or something similar.
Reply:I will tell you how to solve your problem . Just but a FENDER TELE with 2 Humbuckers ( They make them ) I think it's called the Tele Deluxe. That way you will get the quietness of humbuckers, but also a more single-coil sound, because I know as a fact that Fender HUMBUCKERS retain that fender sound and clarity. I know this because I use a '74 Tele Custom ( and original CBS, not a new one from their "vintage" line) with a single-coil in the bridge position, and a humbucker in the neck area. It still sounds Fender, but when I gotta do Kiss, Black Sabbath, or Ramones.......It CRANKZ !
It is GREAT !!!! for blues, especially when I toggle the switch to the rhythm ( Humbuck) position. get what I'm talkin' about.
Squier makes one with with Seymour/ Duncan pick-ups, I think. Check it out.
Reply:if you want the best of both then ,,,,Put a double at the bridge and the a single at the neck
that will solve your problem

Single parents and Barracks soldiers?
I was wondering, if a single parent is dating a barracks soldier, is there a reg against the single soldier basically moving in with the single parent?
Single parents and Barracks soldiers?
I see that only one person addressed the issue of the housing policy and the rest worried about the barracks persons status. Every post I have lived at housing policy has stated that a non- dependent pperson can only stay in the house for 30 days. As the other erson said id you nabors don't call the chain of command or housing and complain you could get away with it longer. It is up to the local command to let soldiers under the rank of E-6 live off post and collect BAH most of the time this policy depends on the space available in the barracks, The persons rank, and if they have had any disciplinary issues. For instance while at Fort Leonard Wood the barracks were being remodeled so the post Moved all E-6's off post, moved the E-4's and E-5's in the houses that the E6's were in and left it up to the chain of command to decide if some of the E-4's could receive BAH and move off post. The E-5's were allowed to make the choice. So as some others have stated Yes in most cases he has to keep a room in the barracks and no he is not allowed to stay in you house as a resident. only a visitor for no more than 30 days. it would be wise to read you local housing policy
Reply:the only thing is that it states that you can only have a guest for a period of 30 days.............and I am sure you are well aware that you have neighbors with little else to do but watch what others are doing......and they will see him coming and going..............
whilst I am sure that for a period of time you will be able to get away with it at some point you WILL get turned in to base housing for it, sad but true.
regards and just make sure that you cover your bases as best as you can...............
Reply:wellll.. regs state he must maintain the Barracks room. Lots of people do so as well as live elsewhere, its done all the time.
the biggest snag is the on post housing. you are NOT authorized to live there, and the Single Parent is NOT authorized to have long term guests/roomies/partners.
they could get kicked out of MFH if the Housing office got wind of it and decided to make an example of them.
Reply:It depends on the rank. If the soldier is in the army, for example,...and he/she is an E-4 or below,...the 1st Sergeant will sometimes restrict "junior" soldiers from living offpost. In some cases the 1st Sergeant will give a soldier a waiver to live offpost. The prob is single soldiers (in the army in this case) have barracks duties and surprize inspections to deal with so if the soldier decides to live off post without the permission, he/she can face disciplinary action if an inspection occurs,...for example,...and he/she isnt there to make that inspection. So sometimes you have to deal with curfews as well. Best course of action,..in my opinion, is get with the 1st Sergeant and let him/her know you want to live off post and go from there. Hope this helps.
Reply:I am a bit confused. Is this single parent military because how else is she living on onpost housing? If she is a soldier then becareful with regulations.
But yeah I don't see why you couldnt move in with her.
Reply:In my company, it wasn't allowed, but it wasn't strictly enforced either. My roommate was dating a single parent, and he'd spend nights there. As long as he shows up in the morning for PT on time, or is able to be contacted (we all have cellphones) in the event of a 3am piss test, he's fine. It's not allowed, in the sense that single soldiers below a certain rank can't receive separate rations, housing allowance, etc. Even if they get a place off base with their base pay, they still have to keep a barracks room.
Reply:As long as he is maintaining his barracks room no one is going to care. However he is no going to get paid for living off base

Single moms- is this the norm?
I was reconcilling with my now ex after a lenghty seperation (his past drug use- drug testing was mandatory to be back with his family) when he went out with some of his buddies, got really drunk and went home with some girl. This is a first (and last).
To make this short- she called me after being with him for a few months (her issues are she doesnt want him paying support to me plus she is starting to have the same problems I did with him etc).
She told me that "singles moms" (as she is with a 6 year old son) go to bars to "hook into a guy"... I am absolutely disgusted!
She said he cried when he told her he is married with kids. Yet, she stays...
I am not blaming her as he was 50% responsible.
I have always valued my rep and what others think. I have struggled in defining myself as a "single" and a "single mother" after being with someone nearly half my life (met when I was 15).
Single moms- is this the norm?
It's not the norm honey and you hold onto those morals of yours. You are doing just fine without the input of someone who is trying to justify her poor decision making.
He's her problem now. Be sure to tell her that the next time she calls and then stop accepting her phone calls. She can't fight his battles and he needs to grow up.
Until then, keep your chin up. You have my utmost respect as a single mom. It's hard work, tiring and stressful, yet you do it and make no excuses. I wish more mothers were like you! Your children will be proud of you.
Reply:you should not feel this way he owes you support too take care of the child you and he made as for him fulling around with the other woman he is 100% wrong for not telling her he was married or at least not honest with her..
Reply:If you were married, you are not a single mom, you are a divorced mom.
Reply:yes it is normal alot of mothers are single and raising there kids. she can want what she wants but in all reality you will get money because he will have to pay child support for you son. the girlfriend needs to stay out of it when it comes to you and your son making it and surviving
Reply:Why I earth would a single mom go to a bar of all places to met guys and actually want them to take care of thier children. When atleast 1/2 the population knows that people you pick up at a bar are looking for a screw and that is it....I was a single mom for several years and I never did that. Thats not the norm and the girl sounds just a trashy as he does.
Reply:With all that being said.. what is it u want to hear?
Your good.. and she ain't..?
Yes, I was divorced and had a child.. and yes,, I was like u..
didn't remarry for my child sake for many years.. until I knew he could handle me having another relationship..
we were like peanut.. and butter... really close..
I too valued my rep.. but I always have... strict up bringing
I am glad to hear u kicked him to the curb...
and don't take him back...
so she doesn't want u to have support.. to bad too sad.. it is not up to her.. and she is having the same problem with him as u did.... well , ....serves her right...
hold ur head up high.. and don't look back... take care of ur child 1st and foremost...

Single Mothers?
My friend is pregnant having problems with the father of her child. Me myself im not married either and pregnant. I have some problems with the father of my child and dont want to think that I could end up not marrying him and a single mother but me and my friend were talking about it. so our question is single mothers if you dont mind telling your story? How are it is? What got you thru? And how you keep pushing..My friend is scared to be a single mother and says she will stay with the father of her child no matter what...As for me I disagree my child will have his dad in his life but that does not mean I cant survive without him...Any answers would be appreciated once again thanks and blessings...
Single Mothers?
I'm a single (divorced) mom. My son is 8. Although I was with his father in the beginning, in my mind I've been a single mom all along because I couldn't count on him for nothing. He was in and out of the house for one reason or another (jail, stupidity, etc.). After I realized that our relationship was only necessary for the birth of God's child, I opted to let him go for good. Up until March 2007 it had been 2 years since he'd seen or spoken with my son. Even though he only lives 3 hours away. I don't get child support yet. I've filed and am just waiting for the court to order the amount because the amount was not stipulated in my divorce papers. He has other kids and other support orders. I can usually count on $100 per year from him ($50 for my son's birthday and $50 for Christmas).
My son last saw his "sperm donor" at his 1/2 brother's birthday party in March 2007. As usual, promises were made but not kept. I keep it real with my son. I've never talked down about his father to him, but I've always tried to protect his feelings when it comes to the let downs. In so many words I let him know that he can't take what his father says at face value. Because of this my son is strong in dealing with the situation. He knows he has me and he also has other men (grandpa and uncles) in his life. He spends a lot of time with my father, which is a good thing.
How do I keep pushing? I look to my child for strength. He needs me to be strong. I need to be strong for him to show him that you don't have to SETTLE for anything just for the sake of saying you have something. Staying with someone and putting up with B.S. could cause more harm to that child than good.
Most recently though, my son now has someone to call Dad. My wonderful fiance. He loves my son as much as he loves me and it shines through brightly. They have something in common... his father wasn't there for him either. They both have a yearning... one for a dad and one to be different than his dad ever was.
If the father is a willing participant in the child's life no matter what's going on in the adult relationship that's all good. If not, it's not the end of the world. It's his loss!
Look to God for strength and remember time heals all wounds. Financially, you can do it. It's not that tough. Just work with what you have and look for other benefits (child support, discounted medical, WIC).
Reply:im not a single mother, but i think that it is an awesome responsibility and can definitely appreciate what single mothers go through. it wont be easy, i know a lot of single moms, but it can be done, and there are a lot of children who turn out to be wonderful people- who only have one parent. good luck to you and your friend!
Reply:I am almost 4 mos preggy, and I will be a single mother most of the time. Just dumped my fiance, because of his legal issues and other issues. He will be there and hold the baby, but not like a live in mommy and daddy. It scares me but he will be in my babys life regardless. I will not take his father away from him, but if I dont get the money I want per week for my baby, clothes diapers, etc I will get him on child support. missbitchaverse@yahoo.com e-mail me. Due in November. We can do this together. Congrats and Good Luck

Most recently though, my son now has someone to call Dad. My wonderful fiance. He loves my son as much as he loves me and it shines through brightly. They have something in common... his father wasn't there for him either. They both have a yearning... one for a dad and one to be different than his dad ever was.
If the father is a willing participant in the child's life no matter what's going on in the adult relationship that's all good. If not, it's not the end of the world. It's his loss!
Look to God for strength and remember time heals all wounds. Financially, you can do it. It's not that tough. Just work with what you have and look for other benefits (child support, discounted medical, WIC).
Reply:im not a single mother, but i think that it is an awesome responsibility and can definitely appreciate what single mothers go through. it wont be easy, i know a lot of single moms, but it can be done, and there are a lot of children who turn out to be wonderful people- who only have one parent. good luck to you and your friend!
Reply:I am almost 4 mos preggy, and I will be a single mother most of the time. Just dumped my fiance, because of his legal issues and other issues. He will be there and hold the baby, but not like a live in mommy and daddy. It scares me but he will be in my babys life regardless. I will not take his father away from him, but if I dont get the money I want per week for my baby, clothes diapers, etc I will get him on child support. missbitchaverse@yahoo.com e-mail me. Due in November. We can do this together. Congrats and Good Luck
