Dear Rocco, I just turned 18. I have had one boyfriend for 3 years (we broke up a month ago). The strange thing is that I didn’t really care when he broke up with me. Ever since I was little, I have had crushes on boys. It has always been that way… Well, about three months ago, I watched a lesbian porn movie with my boyfriend. Since then, I have not been able to get it out of my head. Just thinking about lesbian porn turns me on! Is it possible that I have been a lesbian all along? How do I know if I’m a lesbian? The strange thing is that I don’t feel particularly attracted to any woman I have met in real life. However, the movies drive me crazy… What is going on? MR

Dear Rocco, I have a situation with my husband, and I’m not sure how to handle it without making him embarrassed. The thing is; he gets up earlier than I do in the morning, and I have often caught him relieving himself against the fence in our backyard. By relieving himself, I of course mean urinating (there is nothing sexual going on as far as I can tell). Our toilet is not broken so why would he do that? SB

military personnel are killed in active duty. The fact that the Chattanooga victims were unarmed and serving in a typically safe environment undoubtedly affected Obama’s decision. That and the huge public outcry for action on the matter…
1015… …I remember attending a conference in Washington, D.C. the months after the 9/11 attacks. Security was tight. I thought about canceling my trip but a) I figured the airports were safer than ever; and b) I didn’t want to let the terrorists “win” by taking me out of my normal routines. We here in Chattanooga have to take a similar approach. Things may not feel “normal” for a while. Maybe a long while. If ever. But we have to try to do our normal things the best we can through this painful time. Sunlight will pierce the darkness someday…

CAMPBELL RIVER, British Columbia (UPI) - Residents of a British Columbia town said they are afraid to let their cats wander the neighborhood because someone keeps shaving them. Jo-Jo Yarjau of Campbell River said her 12-year-old cat, Tabby, came home with a square-shaped patch shaved into her belly in January and the feline has since come back with patches of hair missing four more times. “The first time it was the base of her tail as well,
and under her belly,” Yarjau told CTV News. “It looks like a razor did it because it looks like her nipples were cut, and that’s a pretty defining factor of what’s going on.” Neighbor Vance Assu told the Campbell River Mirror he started noticing patches of fur missing from his 4-year-old cat, Twilight, “in February or March” and the incidents became a regular occurrence. Assu said his family has tried keeping Twilight in the house, but the feline refuses to cooperate. “He doesn’t want anything to do with being in here,

other than to eat and have a nap,” he said, “but even that is very rare. We’ve tried keeping the litter box inside, but he simply won’t use it.” Yarjau said Tabby is too old to change her behavior to become a strictly indoor cat. “She’ll go crazy. She’s 12. You can’t just do that all of a sudden,” she said. Yarjau said her family only lets Tabby out at night to avoid the shaving, which thus far has only occurred during the day. She said she fears for the feline’s life. “We only let her out at night now,” she said, “because

it’s never happened at night. She’s not allowed to wander during the day anymore, because one day she just might not come back.” ADOR, Spain (UPI) - A Spanish mayor has become the first in the country to issue a proclamation creating an official afternoon nap time for the entire city. Mayor Joan Faus Vitoria of Ador in Valencia declared 2 to 5 p.m. as the official time for the city’s res-
idents to take their afternoon siestas. The edict asks residents to keep quiet during the siesta hours and the mayor recommended children be kept inside to prevent noise from traveling into open windows. The mayor said the nap time was chosen due to the high afternoon heat making 2 to 5 p.m. the ideal time to take a break from working in fields. Vitoria said there will be no penalties for violations, and the edict should be treated as “merely a suggestion” rather than an “obligation.” A study published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in February espoused the health benefits of an afternoon siesta. “Our data suggests a 30-minute nap can reverse the hormonal impact of a night of poor sleep,” said study author Brice Faraut of the Universite Paris DescartesSorbonne Paris Cite in France. “This is the first study that found napping could restore biomarkers of neuroendocrine and immune health to normal levels.” MEXICO - Sure, you can go to Mexico for cheap drugs, cheap dentistry, even cheap surgeries. There was that famous story of the woman who went to Mexico to have her breasts enlarged to 36 double-Hs (or something ridiculous) because no licensed surgeon in the U.S. would do it.
But you might want to draw the line at baby deliveries after you read this story. A baby in Mexico, was rushed to a pediatric specialist after medical students cut off his private parts, thinking they were cutting his umbilical cord, according to a complaint filed by the parents. The father of the boy, Diego Rangel Izaguirre, said that doctors tried to cover up the injury by keeping him away from the newborn for hours. Because apparently that is accepted medical practice in Mexico. The mother of the boy said that he should have been left in the care of professionals and not medical students. But never fear; the little tyke had his wee winky sewn back on and hospital officials insist that the baby is healthy and that the operation was minor...even if he ends up with a crooked pecker later in life. The couple filed an official complaint with the hospital, which has launched an internal investigation.
who snapped photos of the incident and posted them to Facebook, said he saw the man being pursued by two women. “A man held a sword and appeared to be playing keep-away with two women. When one of the females shouted for security I realized the moment was serious,” Chapman wrote on his blog, TumbleweedTourist.com. “Before onlookers could intervene, one woman ripped the stolen sword from the man and another woman (dressed as a wench) tackled him to the ground, quickly applying a headlock. I photographed the incident from the time of the take-down to when the suspect was led away by authorities.” The woman who tackled the man was soon relieved by a knight in shining armor — the woman’s husband. The suspect, identified as Connor Ward, 22, was charged with attempted assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and theft. Police said Ward was drunk and is a friend of the performers who LARKSPUR, Colo. (UPI) - A man tackled and held him. who allegedly tried to swipe a jouster’s sword at the Colorado DELAND, Fla.

night when she felt a sting on her leg. She and her boyfriend cleaned up her wound in the restaurant’s bathroom, but not seeing any blood, they figured she must have been burnt by a firecracker. “My first thought was somebody hit me, slapped me open handed really hard on my leg and pinched me, but it did not make any sense because I didn’t see anyone,” Charlebois told The Daytona Beach News-Journal. Four days later, when the pain still hadn’t gone away, she visited a doctor, who ordered an X-ray and found a .38-caliber bullet embedded about 4 centimeters into her thigh, she told WESH-TV in Orlando, Fla. DeLand police are now trying to figure out who shot the bullet. “Well, it’s safe to say that at the moment we don’t know where it came from,” said DeLand police Sgt. Chris Estes. “There is no indication a gun was fired in close proximity to where she was sitting at this point so, another theory is that it was fired into the air from a distance.” In the meantime, doctors say the bullet is too close to a major artery in Charlebois’ leg, so they’re leaving it where it is. “I feel very fortunate,” Charlebois said. “I have four kids and we have been through a lot.”

Speaking during an appearance on BBC Four’s ‘What Ever Happened To Rock ‘N’ Roll?’, he says: ‘’In theory the internet and YouTube should be helping new bands get off the ground but it hasn’t - it’s got worse.

The Walking Dead And Its Impact On Geek Culture The walking dead really has shifted the modern view of zombies to one of a mainstream culture. I love to contrast different zombie media including World War Z, The Zombie Survival Guide, Resident Evil, Night of the Living Dead, and more. I own The Walking Dead Video Games and love them. I love to talk about them with my friends and analyze each scene for fun. I love zombies so much that I even have eaten many times at Zombie Burger in Des Mines Iowa! It's a completely zombie themed restaurant with Walking Dead themed murals, Zombie named burgers and food, and life size zombie figures. The Walking Dead stars with Rick Grimes, (played by Andrew Lincoln) a Georgia Sheriff Waking up in a hospital after he is shot in a standoff on duty as a Sheriff. He returns home and finds out that his son and wife are missing. He son realizes that he is in an apocalyptic world where zombies or the walking dead are lurching around and feeding on human brains and flesh. He goes to Atlanta to search for them. He is almost killed by a hoard of Zombies and hides in an abandoned military tank. He is then rescued by Glenn, a survivor who takes Rick to a camp just on the outskirts of town. There he finds his wife and son, along with his best friend and partner Shane. This sets Ricks first meeting with the group that Rick will eventually lead through the graphic novel and show. He must fend off zombie hordes, deal with internal politics, human diseases, and also the politics from external bands of survivors including a group led by the governor, a place called exodus, and

The characters personalities have changed over time as they are willing to do anything to survive. The comic was written by Robert Kirkman and published by image comics. It's the best zombie comic that I've ever read because of its realistic and intrinsic character interactions.

Have You Seen This Issue of Enigma?
The Walking Dead has a complex array of characters. The show also differs from the graphic novel. This often a great topic of discussion amongst fans.
Why not? The character conflict with Rick and Shane is a huge theme as Rick deals with Shane who took care of his wife while Rick was lost. Shane questions Rick's leadership and eventually draws on Rick who is forced to kill him. Darrell, plays the loyal bowman who is a natural survivalist who gets along with Carol who is also a realist who even trains the kids to use weapons. Hershel is a loving farm owner and Veterinarian who saves Rick's sons life after a shooting accident. His daughter falls in love with Glenn who was ENIGMA
