How can I get my boyfriend to express his feelings more?

My boyfriend is a pretty closed off. When he's having problems he doesn't talk to me about them. He even has a hard time saying how he feels about me. What can I do to make him open up?

Update! ON the water kitten

A few weeks back I asked about kittens and do they really love water. Well, my water kitten has up graded the water supply from the water bowl to my bubble bath. This silly kitten will sit on the side of the tub and try to move the bubbles around. It is quite funny to watch her play with the bubbles. Will her love of water continue to grow?

...Me... no speak no EngliSh....

I heard this morning that a police officer somewhere in the U.S. had been giving out tickets to folks who are driving possibility doing a violation of some type...and they don't speak English, basically he wrote on the tickets more or less it was a violation due to them "not speaking English". Do you think he was correct?
His captain if you will, has suspended him, for the time being and there is an investigation into the matter. This is the one thing I am having trouble with, if you can't speak "English" how do you read the traffic signs??
I think maybe he is in trouble for not using the politically correct method......of writing tickets but then wouldn't that make him a bit untruthful??
What's your take???

Or when they don't answer...

I'd been talking..err** texting this guy for a few weeks. he would text me about every day asking how it was, etc and sometimes we'd text all throughout the day. Well, since this went on for a few weeks and he'd already asked me on a date but had not actually SET a date yet, I decided to call him (we'd never talked on the phone before) after a couple beers. And he let it go to voicemail, even though he had just texted me.

so i sent "really?" to him and he replied asap with Really? to which i sent that again...have not heard from him since, and that was 4 days ago.

Clearly this was going somewhere.

I have noticed guys would rather text than talk on the phone but what do you wish girls talked about

Beside asking how your day was , how you are and what you are doing?

Are you one of those *people* who wait until someone else responds to a post 1st, before you do ?

What are you so spinelessly neutral ?

Here's the deal? (and it sucks ass)

Ok, so a professor of mine gave me a failing grade because I refused to sleep with him. I told the dean nothing was done come to find out he and the dean are bff (like forever ago). Now the dean is pissy with me, what should I do? Who should I go to? Is there some sort of board to go to? I'm in MO btw...thanks

I think I have a social problem. I hardly find any connections with anybody anymore....

...and hanging out doing the same old thing the last group did bores me. It's all the small talk. I think im isolating myself. I love socialing but I get discouraged when people do not agree with me over some things and they argue. I don't get it. AND if I don't talk or say much it's still not cool. AND if I'm talkative and bubbly they don't get it either. OR they get all serious and quiet. I seriously dont like it anymore. maybe I don't like people anymore. I am a fiesty little one and don't find kissing ass appealing at all. So I DON'T KNOW my feelings are kind of hurt so I don't know. Yes you can say I'm insecure or I come off overly confident. I DON'T KNOW what's wrong with me?

Respond with a backhanded compliment about yourself.

Fighting over a baby's life

tinyurl.com/yby7kzq

The baby was born in England with a severe birth defect and now is about one year old. He has spent his entire life in the hospital on a ventilator/breathing machine. The baby has been taken off the ventilator three times, lasting 40 min, 30 min, and 5 minutes before requiring reconnection to ventilator.

Mother agrees with doctors to remove breathing support. This will result in the baby's death. Father disagrees and has taken the matter to the courts.

Who's right?
Who's wrong?
What do you think is the proper thing to do in this case?

Go to the tinyurl link I posted to read the entire story. There's more to it than I posted. Maybe you will change your mind, maybe not.

Do you ever have old memories that you just can't seem to move beyond?

It's been well over 10 years & it still hurts like it happened yesterday. Well good night all...I gotta go find some food & then a good movie to get me back in my usual bubbly mood. I just want to cry. (sigh) Pain sucks!!!!!
