60 DAY NO CONTACT RULE!!!! I need Advise and questions?
I was broken up with, and we went four days without talking, at which point I couldn't take it anymore. When he ended things, it was very wishy washy, and I like decisiveness, so I called him (LDR) and got a decisive answer about everything. He said he'd like to be friends if and when I was ready, and I said I needed time, which he understood. So 9 days after I called him, 2 weeks after he ended things, I was supposed to go visit him, at which point I knew I could absolutely not talk to him. The following week, I was still thinking too much about that weekend and what I had tentatively planned. But I wanted to see how he was doing. The days following that, I was sort of putting it off and didn't really want to text him, but at the same time, I did want to be friends with him. So one day, I was out and about to head back home, and I sent him a text just before I drove home. My timing was such that I wouldn't be able to check my phone constantly and think about him texting me back or ignoring my text. He texted me back about an hour after I sent him the text (he was busy, as he normally was), and we had an awkward conversation (in my opinion, no idea what he thought of it). After that though, we have had much more normal conversations. That was 23 days no contact. At this point, we're good friends, and we have hung out as friends (just the two of us) twice. One time it was exactly what we did on a date, minus the kissing. That also happened to be 6 months to the day that we had met and went on our first date.
Muslims advise me of these prayer questions. Shukran?
haha hey i can answer this now...My friend has faith, but she is just too lazy to pray...so i gave her encouraging words, and offered to have a "Buddy Prayer" system...we'll pray zuhr, asr, and sometimes maghrib in school together, and as a plus for the first week of her doing her prayers again- ill pay for her lunch every day! lol It's kind of like an exercise regimen- u know, they say work out with a friend and you're more likely to stick with it? =) eventually she'll get into the groove of prayer and be able to do it on her own! =D
Not a question just a thank you!?
God Bless you. If you slide back don't take it too badly. You must be kind to yourself. We all make mistakes..and as long as you realize that you are human and don't put too much pressure on yourself you will make it. I am not saying that to give you an option of falling back...but most addicts do. If you go to AA meetings they tell you to be careful not to relapse..but if you do...it happens and where they don't encourage it....you should not be too hard on yourself. Most addicts do slide back at least once. It is hard. You are not a failure. Never are you a failure. You just need to take baby steps and take one day at a time. Remember one thing....you are God's child. You are good and you are capable of so much. One minute does not define a lifetime. There is always the next minute and the next day and the next week. Just go forward and don't look back. Someday you will be able to look back and say...I did it. We are pulling for you...and your husband. Are you going to AA meetings and counseling? THAT HELPS...and it will help your husband too. There is so much to understand about addictions and the dynamics of a family during this process. You should consider it and so should he. It is imperative for making it together. Understanding this situation is a family problem..not entirely yours. Not that he had anything to do with it...but it is the way the family works that is important and it will change. Good luck...and God bless you. I will keep you in my prayers.
Is saying "please advise" in an email request polite or obnoxious?
Personally I don’t like seeing it, but I do use it myself sometimes in cases where I’m a little frustrated, for example about:Someone made a request to me (or to nobody in particular) that’s unclear or lacks sufficient information that the person really should have provided.I received a comment that’s not even a request but more just stating a fact of some kind. I’m now wondering if action should be taken and if so, what action. I’m frustrated here with the lack of clarity, so my reply may end with a ‘Please advise.’A lot of discussion without any clear next steps or task assignment.Another advantage of using it is that it establishes very clearly to a casual reader on Cc that an issue is not with me, it is with the other person and I’m waiting for his/her input.For me personally I would never use it out of the blue in a first polite request for information.So yes, I do intend to be a bit more direct (possibly not crossing into rude) when I use it, although I see it enough to know that not everyone uses it that way.
Which one is correct? “please let me know if you have any question” or ”please let me know if you have any questions”
"Question" is not ungrammatical, but "questions" is much more usual. It's more a matter of logic and courtesy than grammar: "question" presumes/implies that the listener is allowed only one question, which is a bit imperious.
I need some advise.?
1. Never accept rides from strangers. 2. Never turn your back on your drink at the bar as someone could spike it. 3. No means No. Maybe means Maybe, and Yes means Yipppeeee! 4. Never live in a pineapple under the sea. 5. Don't accept mud wrestling invitations. 6. Never laugh at strangers when they open their door. 7. Laugh, love, and live with gusto. 8. Stay as sweet as you are now. 9. Always keep your rose BUSH well trimmed. 10. Show off your PUSSY cat to others so that they can enjoy looking at it as much as you do.
"If you have any questions to raise, let's continue to communicate." Is the sentence of the words acceptable in colloquial English? Should it be changed to, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, let's continue to communicate."?
If you have any questions to raise, let's continue to communicate.This sounds really awkward in colloquial English, I can't imagine anyone ever saying this outloud. I don't think that sentence makes sense logically. And “questions to raise” isn’t a common phrase.Should it be changed to, "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, let's continue to communicate."?It should definitely be changed to the above. With one difference; you don't need to say “let's continue to communicate”. That’s not a common phrase, and it will probably sound weird to anyone who speaks English.So just say;"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."This is a very common colloquial sentence, that is worded perfectly grammatically and logically.Or use any of the below statements that all communicate the same idea.[1]"If you have questions or concerns, just let me know.""I welcome your questions.""I am available if you have any questions or concerns.""Please let me know if you have any questions.""Please email me with any questions or concerns.""I am happy to answer any questions.""Any questions? Just ask.""Got questions? Just give me a call.""If you have any questions, just ask."“Please feel free to raise any questions.”Footnotes[1] "Got Questions?": How to Invite Inquiries Concisely
