The only way to actually be good at poker is practise or be some sort of probability calculating machine.
However, being a poker innocent but being inevitably roped into playing now and then, I am skilled at not looking like an eejit. Learn what a good hand is and only play when you have a good one. The people you're playing with will cop on to this quite quickly, but use the assumption that you only play on good hands to your advantage. The key to poker (from my limited experience) seems to be giving people a false impression of your playing style and exploiting that by playing against their expectations. If you're a novice, the easiest impression to give people is that you only play on good hands.
However you could just have fun and play like you don't know what you're at. People will fear your unpredictability. Couple this with a basic knowledge of what a good hand is, and you might get lucky.
Very simplistic, but it works for me.

Glad it all turned out alright! You did keeping a level head like that, and it seems to have paid off.

I would just google for "cartography software," and a combination of MS Paint, Gimp, Inkscape or Paint.Net for the flag.

Still sort of really jealous of this guy though, the way she talks to him... ehh seems too flirty, I know she has the whole 'making his ex jealous' thing going on but still... am I wrong for doing that? And what would you do? Maybe she's just friendly with him because he's a fun guy. Maybe I'm too much of the jealous type. Trying to give space, hoping that works.

I remember a long time ago, seeing Eric Cartman from south park saying that the movie "Contact" had seriously pissed him off.
Is there a reason why?

It's from an opinion that either Parker and/or Stone have, because other characters have also pointed out their own distaste for that movie (Mr. Garrison).
Something about sitting through the entire movie to see the aliens, and it was a huge disappointment when the alien turned out to be her father. Plus I speculate that the movie had too much of an emphasis on religion, which I can imagine them getting fed up with (see: other episodes they lampoon religions).
Being the jealous type is bound to scare off any girl worth wanting to keep, but you really do have good reason to continue to be suspicious. You seem to be taking the right line of not ranting at her, but still being concerned.
From what you've said, I'd guess that she's not quite as seriously into things as you are. If it were me, I'd give her a chance to back out of the relationship before continuing. I'd do my best to convince her that now would be best if she's not into things, in order to save myself even more heartache later.
Of course, when you're in love you don't want to give up even the chance of 'winning' a girl, so that you wouldn't give a girl a chance to leave if things are a bit unbalanced because she might fall in love a bit more slowly than you.
That's all fine and reasonable, because you haven't told us much and my guess could be hugely out. But if she's flirting with an ex-boyfriend either she's a very grounded sort of person who assumes that you can trust her because that's just not something she'd do for real, or she's like most women (in my limited experience of relationships and not quite so limited experience of discussing them) and has unresolved 'issues'.
From what I've heard of such things, these can be 'being torn' and having conflicting emotions as much as simply wanting a old boyfriend back and not the new one at all, but depending on your relationship and how much you talk about this stuff normally, you might want to pick a moment to give her a chance to let you know about them too, if they exist.

And being concerned sucks! It seems like I've won her, she said "I love you" first, but well they are just words, and if I had her I'd probably be a bit more confident with what we have. I may have to bring up that chance to her, though it'd be rough, it's something that I'd need to think about and build up to. Also it's not an ex she's flirting with, but just another guy, its HIS ex she's trying to piss off, because apparently she's crazy and wants to help him out. But all the smilies, winks, and hearts are a sad thing to see sometimes, but that's stupid, and knowing how jealousy pisses girls off (though she gets a annoyed when I talk to girls- she's openly stated that she's a hypocrite when it comes to that) I'll keep things how they are for now I guess. There's something between us, it's just hard to figure out. blaghdf!
As in the very basics?

otherwise it's 90% about what you're doing not what the cards are, just remember that and try and keep them tells to a minimum.
I don't watch South Park; did the characters say anything else about the movie? Contact is my favorite SF movie, btw.
But the alien wasn't really Ellie's father. He just took that form "to make it easier." In the novel, where Ellie wasn't the only person to go in the Machine, everybody was visited by an alien who took the form of the person each Earth scientist loved most. In Ellie's case, it was her father.

No, you wouldn't. I might not know you good but I know enough to know that you wouldn't raise your hand against her
I had an incident simmilar to this. As you know, my relationship with my gf isn't known by many. There's this guy... this freakazoid who's apparently in love with my gf (I've mentioned him before in the R R/R threads) and he kept posting "I lovee you" on her wall and stuff. I didn't want to come off as a jealous git (we had had some fights already about related stuff) so I kept quiet. Then one day I asked her what she was going to do about it. She said that she wasn't going to do anything, that she was just indifferent and didn't care. I said okay, slightly upset but still not wanting to sound like a jealous git. She asked me what I wanted her to do. I try to be as honest as possible with her, so I told her that I'd like it if she told him to stop it and that it hurt me and made me feel disgusted just by reading it. This made her feel bad and she said sorry and that she was going to tell him to stfu. I told her that it was my fault for not telling her it. Eventually, we came to the conclusion that we were both bad, me for not telling her and her for not realising (I had told her before that it made me feel a little like puking to know that other guys were flirting with her and that she continued to speak to them) the effect it had on me.
I haven't seen that guy's declarations of love since then. Of course, it might just be that he's blocked me on facebook or something.
My point is that you should tell her your feelings, and that you'd like her to stop. Surely your feelings are more important than enraging a crazy ex of his? Also, if she really is crazy why hasn't he blocked her yet? Why is she able to read that stuff?
It's not really much to ask, at least not to me. You'd do the same for her.
I've no problem with the rest of what you say, but I really do dislike the justification of 'you'd do it for her so she should do it for you'.
There might be a few people in the world for whom I'd die, but I certainly wouldn't ask them to die for me.
Similarly, I might be fond enough of work colleagues to, for example, drive them across the country to see a dying relative, but I wouldn't ask someone who was just a work colleague to do that for me.
In a relationship there are some things that you both would do for each other and some things that you wouldn't. Each relationship is different and every person is different and the cause of a great deal of hurt, confusion and tension is people assuming that the other person has the same ideas about what's involved in a relationship as they do.
I knew a girl, a long time ago, who was supposedly going out with me and got upset because when we entered a party together she wandered away from a conversation as I was answering a question and I didn't chase after her, but continued with the conversation.
In my mind, if she wanted my company, she could have come back to me. In her mind, men should obey her every whim, even when she hasn't made it clear what it is. The same applies to asking a girl to stop chatting on Facebook. Your feelings shouldn't rule a relationship, and making demands about not talking to people who are just friends is quite controlling.

It has to be used with reason, and be used in the right context. It is one thing to say "Id die for you, therefore you should be willing to die for me" - that kind of emotional attachement grows with the relationship.
It is another thing to be forced to endure emotional grief over something that could easily be rectified, and be upset if she would refuse to tell the guy to simply to stop. Even though our relationship is under the wraps, I still want her to tell "persistent" (understatement) boys to go away, because even though it is a secret, I still expect her to act as if our relationship is real. It might just be me, but I dont appreciate guys writing "I love you _ <3333 my sweetheart" on my gfs pictures and wall.
She couldve easily said "no, I dont care. Just learn to freaking live with it Yared", but she didnt.
For the record, I told her that I wouldnt care who she talks to. It only bothers me when the dude is proclaiming his love to her and telling her of his wet dreams.
Btw, she considers him an acquaintance. He considers her his gf (he tells people that).

Why is Illbleed's soundtrack nowhere online despite the game being released so many years ago?
(The only exception is the soundtrack rips, and yet, those still aren't available on Youtube)
I guess some soundtracks don't catch on... unfortunate. The game truly is epic from what little I've seen of it.

I was trying to make myself some food on it when after a second all the power went out. I thought the fuse had blown and when I opened the thing to check they all turned back on, and the microwave began to go beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep and the lights were flashing and the glass thing was spinning even when I opened the door.
So I went to try it again and all the lights went out again. And then they came back on again. And the thing stopped spinning but now it's sporadically beeping.
What should I do? I remember having fuse problems with an old microwave but this is a different one. As well, there wasn't any metal in the microwave.

In our country, it isn't. Mind you I've often held that many beliefs that certain religious groups *cough* beardies *cough* hold would be jumped on if held by an atheist.

OK, so I moved the microwave (I'm not as wimpy as you think when it comes to lifting stuff
) so it's on a different outlet, and it stopped doing all these crazy things. Strange...- Status
