Hi. I am interested in finding out what the best deals are to take a 3-4 day Carnival Cruise from Long Beach, CA to Mexico. I went online to do research and it is overwhelming on how or where to find the best rates, perks, upgrades, discounts, time to travel.

So if someone out here is an experienced cruise ship traveler and knows how to get the best deals, could you please offer advice/links? Thanks for your help

Go to a travel agent and let them find a cruise that suits your requirements. You might even get a good deal, but they do all the work, finding the cruise.
Once you have your dates and a price, it is then a simple matter of looking on-line and seeing if you can find a better price.
If you can’t find a better price, go back to the TA.

Ask her to try on one of your large shirts and tell her she has to have nothing on underneath. Bring home some handcuffs and some edible panties or something. If she isn’t, you might want to.

I asked the guy that I have been seeing for a month if we were in a relationship and he said that he didn’t want to be in a relationship for a while and that he wanted to get to know me better first. At the same time he told me that he was exclusively dating me and no one else? What is the difference between exclusively dating and being in a relationship? Does this mean we are boyfriend/girlfriend?

It means – don’t worry about it. Being "in a relationship" is pointless if you rush into it. Remember the saying "fools rush in"?

A month of "just dating" is nothing in the long run. It sounds like you’re pretty young, I’m guessing. I can’t tell my sisters this enough – pressure a boy into becoming your "boyfriend" and he’ll lose interest. When he’s ready, he’ll tell you – and it’s usually in a very romantic way because he’s smitten. And if he’s not, you’ll see the signs loud and clear and be much better off not in a relationship.

Best advice, just enjoy and make the most out of every moment with him.

While many people do go through times in their lives when they feel disheartened, sad and stressed. Depression is much more than feelings of sadness. If feelings turn into hopelessness, suicidal thoughts or last for more than a few days, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is a problem that affects the body as a whole and can lead to a variety of other problems, as well. There are a variety of medications and therapies that can help people who are dealing with depression, but, sometimes, it is important to identify the cause of the depression first. There are a variety of different causes for depression and different causes will require different treatments.

Genetics
One cause of depression may actually be in your genes. Many studies have shown that depression can be a genetic problem that is inherited. Often, bouts of depression will run in the family and if the genetics are studied, there are slight variations in genetic make-up that seem to correspond with the problems of depression and Bipolar Disorder in particular.

External Problems
Many times, there are external problems that are actually the cause of depression. Many times, depression can start out as grief for a loved one or frustration over a chronic illness. Often, dealing with losing a job or the breakup of a relationship can cause people to go into depression as well. Financial stress is another external problem that can lead to depression. It is important to note that, many times, it is a combination of these external problems with other problems that lead to an episode of depression.

Chemical Imbalances
Another cause of depression can be a chemical imbalance within the body. The chemicals in the brain are very important and having too much or not enough of these chemicals can lead to psychological problems, including depression. Two specific neurotransmitters that seem to be connected with depression are norepinephrine and
serotonin. Cortisol, which is a hormone produced in the body, has also been linked to depression and often, too much cortisol is found in people who are suffering from depression.

Depression is a serious problem and no matter what is causing depression in your life or in the life of someone you love, it is important that you get professional help. There is help available for those who are dealing with depression and often, the type of help will be determined by the cause of depression. It is important to know that you are not alone and that there is assistance for those dealing with this difficult disease.
