Here's how I see the difference
Happiness is derived from a sense of accomplishment or achievement...it usually involves a skill or talent. It is something you usually work toward. Very much akin to enjoyment.
Pleasure requires no skill or talent. It is usually physical.
What's the difference?
You say, "That's the difference." Can you clarify?
You are correct, I didn't phrase a query. I told them what I wanted them to do, and I told them in a calm and respectful manner. I didn't lecture them about what they were doing, I just told them that I would like for them to leave. In our township, school property is not open to the public. It can only be used by permit after school hours, and I am the permit holder. I am within my rights to ask others to leave the property during the times when I'm designated the responsible party for the property.
So I didn't ask the teenagers to leave. Had I asked, "Will you please leave," the answer could be yes or no. That was not my goal. Therefore, saying "I'd like for you to move off the property," clearly states what I want done.
Still, I don't understand what you mean by "difference" in your post. The difference between what and what exactly? Are you saying that I should have asked them a question and then abided by whatever answer they gave me? And that since I didn't offer the opportunity to decline a request, they were within their rights to be disrespectful and shout obscenities?
difference -- sm
The lady who posted on MySpace also, if I remember right, had sent personal emails to this young girl. There was a deliberate attempt to hurt this child and progressed over time. The woman is not being punished for her posting on MySpace, she is being punished for her deliberate attempt to deceive and hurt someone else. Nothing would have happened to her, I believe, if the child had not taken her own life. Once a crime happens or is committed, her intent changed from bullying to involvement in a crime.
the person who wrote her opinion about another person has committed no crime against that teacher whatsoever. If a student can be suspended for calling a teacher a name, then perhaps EVERYone who calls someone else a name, should be punished in some way, shape, or form, but the last I knew, our country was still a free country and we were able to express our opinions about another if we chose to, even negatively.
What is the difference in that and them

age difference
Actually, I married a man 17 1/2 years older than I am. Outside of his kids (his oldest is 5 years younger than myself), things have worked out quite well for the last 32 years. He raised my kids and they love him and treat him better than his own kids. Depends upon what you are looking for in a relationship.
Difference here in what you and I say
You said busted your butt to pay for. I did not have to do that, never paid a house payment in my new home, husband does that for me.
well I think the difference is
mentally challenged is a PC word to describe anyone with a mental illness - (does it also mean, or instead mean, someone with mental retardation?)
Autistic is specifically someone with one of the autistic spectrum disorders. They may be mentally challenged, but all MC are not autistic.
Then there is physically challenged, the PC word for the physically disabled, which I personally hate... because I am physically disabled... disabled will do just fine....
What difference I see
Pork skins are sold in the package and can be out of the shelves, usually in the potato chip section. Cracklins which are fried bits of pork are sold in the meat department and need refrigeration, otherwise they spoil. Skins need no refrigeration.
There is a difference between ...
supply and demand and "inflation". Just look at the over supply in houses and cars now and you can get a great deal now. There is a fear of the food supply becoming scarce (whether that's true or not, I do not know), and scarcity or fear of scarcity increases the value.
Please tell me the difference in you
being a working single mother as opposed to a working divorced mother. Does it make a difference in your marital status or lack of some kind of way that a guy would talk that way? I just wonder how that plays into it?
Age difference...sm
My hubby is exactly 3 weeks older than me (we are both Virgos, but he doesn't act like a Virgo...he's too calm, cool, and collected).
I can't tell the difference when something has MSG and when it doesn't. nm

thanks Jon-but I knew difference between the 2.
If you want to make a difference each
month you can give $30 a month to Worldvision and sponsor a child and also help the community the child lives in. They also have a way you can give gifts at Christmas with their catalog (which I did this past year made my family cry) where you give $13 for a wheelchair! OF course it is not a high tech wheelchair but one that works well for the child that needs it. I have been doing this since 2003 it is a blessing.
Only difference, is most were legal and
not anymore. I do not want to pay more taxes and they pay ??? none perhaps to cover them. I pay enough as it is without adding on extra mouths to my taxes.
Oh, please! There is a big difference between a cookout
and a massive fire unattended leaping into the woods behind your homes that can set all the homes on fire. We can cook out all we want but we cannot have bonfires going. We live in a county where there is NO outside burning, be it your old cars or your barbecue. Sorry but if I lived here or somewhere else, safety should play a part in whether you would like to keep your residence. Just common sense to me. I love my peace and quiet. Other can live in rat holes if they like. We have our swimming pools, our tennis court, our neat and manicured yards, no loud music playing and rocking your home, no kids running in your yards, no fighting, swearing and the like, just pure blissful peace. Cant beat it! Best place I have ever lived. I would go for these rules in ole day commpared to the posts I have read and how others have to put up with crap. Not this woman!
How do you explain the difference between...
a republican and a democrat to a teenager?
The difference is about $150 - yikes!
I checked out the website and a 3-week supply of entrees and shakes was $294 plus shipping. Thanks for the info, but I think I'll try NutriSystem.
Difference between us and the situation you described...
I would have yelled back at her instead of hiding my tears. When she hurts our feelings, we let her know it. (I know, I shouldn't be yelling at my kid, but hey, I'm human, too.)
There is a huge difference between ...sm
spanking and beating. My dad used to get out his belt when I was bad. And I mean, I deserved it. Those lessons stuck in my brain, and I did not EVER break that rule again, not out of fear, but respect and I always thought twice about breaking any other rules. Even after I was past the age of spankings. I do not spank my kids with a belt, I cannot bring myself to do that, but I do not fault my dad for doing it to me when I deserved it. I also am a very nonviolent person. I will spank my kids when all the time outs and talking to don't work and nothing else seems to make the lesson stick in their head. They do not have bruises, they are not scared of me, they are happy kids. I think if a lot of other kids would have gotten the spankings they deserved when they were growing up to learn those lessons, they would not have been out shooting people or beating others up and have the issues they do now. And no, I did not grow up in the 50s. I am only 30 years old.
There's a little difference with smoking, though.
Your second-hand smoke is harmful to others and the environment.
Alcohol kills more people than just those who ingest it.
Obesity only kills the person suffering from it.
Rude to comment on it? Maybe. Then again, everyone who has to put up with the butts on the ground, the second-hand smoke, the nicotine stains and the stench of it clinging to you as you walk into the building -- well, I guess they do have a right to comment.
people don't know the difference between... cm
"your" and "you're" including medical transcriptionists (even worse).
The difference is that you never did; these guys have already been doing it. nm

What difference does it make? --sm
it all comes clean in the wash anyway. Their bowls are not any dirtier than yours are, after having eaten off of them. just my opinion.
What is the difference in a dog eating
raw chicken and roaming around outside and eating an animal it kills????
Ten years difference here, been married
for 7 years, his first and my eeks, 4th but this is the last, I promise...
Not saying I care - makes no difference to me
one way or the other. I just have a mild curiosity what others think. This is a forum, isn't it?
Heck no sounds like you can't tell the difference.

Difference between judgment and discrimination
It wasn't 20 years ago that he murdered those 2 people.
Yes, you are wrong and I will be happy to correct you. Most restaurants, especially privately owned local restaurants - that are not part of a franchised chain for example - have signs up that say they have the right to refuse service to anyone.
Also, you are using discrimination in a pejorative sense. Before political correctness robbed this country of its moral fiber and backbone, discrimination was a good thing. It meant using common sense and good judgment in every aspect of one's life. I think we could all use some discrimination in our lives together.
I see no reason why any business owner should be forced to serve anyone, as long as they aren't basing that refusal on religion, gender or race.
yes, exercise will definitely make a difference

There is a difference in not wanting to be in the limelight and
your spouse not knowing the details of your life. I don't particularly care about being in the limelight, either, but telling my spouse about my education (or anything else for that matter) is not the limelight. That's simply communication with the person who should be my best friend, my confidante, the one person I can always count on. I agree, your tax lady was wrong to imply that he was slow. I'm afraid if my husband hedged about something, it would throw a red flag for me and I've known him since 1977. He might not willingly tell everything that he did in his past, but where he went and how long he went to school is nothing to be secretive about. JMO. 
Is there a difference between DSL and cable modem? sm
I've been working at home for almost nine years and have been on dial up. We live out in the country and DSL/cable modem hasn't been available all this time. We aren't even on the DSL list. Found out yesterday that we are going to have cable run out here and we'll have fast speed internet via cable. Is that as good as DSL? I'm really excited about this! Just wondered cable is good and reliable fast speed internet. I think anything will be better than 45 Kbps.
Thanks!
Explain the huge difference please. (sm)
Is it between alcohol and pot, crack and mushrooms, crank and LSD? Please, explain to me the huge difference. To me, all drugs are drugs, but maybe some are more preferential to you.
elderly man/toddler any difference?
Would you leave your toddler unattended with 3 pitbulls? No I don't think so, and neither should an elderly person be left with that many big size dogs no matter what the breed!
Neutering also make a difference
Not immediately, but over a little time, they seem to settle in to a more serene frame of mind.
Does it really make a difference regarding the death
x
Yes - it totally made a difference
When I first moved here I set up my desk in the wrong direction (travel). The workflow dried up at my job and I was going broke, so I got desperate and changed MTSOs. For some reason I could not get released from 100% QA at the new job. Even more desperate for a solution, I remembered feng shui, and studied up on desk placement. I started working facing the career direction. I was released from QA immediately and ever since I've made more money than ever before. Call me crazy, but I'm never working from any other spot as long as I live here!
Just share with me what difference you think it makes
to share or not share?
Anyone who knows difference between type 1 and 2 diabetes?
My husband was diagnosed with diabetes about 4 years ago, never before, in his 50s. I thought being as not diagnosed in childhood this was type 2. Talking with my dermatologist this morning and saying diabetes of his not due to obesity and runs in his family, she told me then he has type 1. This is a little worrisome for me as I have heard type 1 is worse than 2. Anyone have any information on this?
What state you are in would make a big difference. sm
Maybe a local county health department? In my state, they do GYN exams for specific income brackets for free and then if over that bracket, it is based on your income.
Difference between cats and dogs
I've observed this with other cats and dogs, too, so it's not like my dog is a total moron (bless him - he kind of is).
I recently installed a 15-light door between my kitchen and living room because I was tired of the cats being in the kitchen and so I could block them ALL out if I wanted. It's the best money I've ever spent.
They hate it when I go into the kitchen and shut the door - they can see me but can't enter. They've all watched the process as I use the door handle to come in and go out, and the cats both understand that something about the handle makes the door open - the dog just doesn't get it. He'll look at the bottom corner of the door and WISH it open and the cats look at and try to maneuver the handle.
I can imagine the cats will eventually master the door, but the dog is doomed.
No babies at home, but still working, only difference
is I don’t have to do the wash, have housekeeper for that and other chores in the house. I would be willing to say a lot of high-powered women CEOs would never ever say they want to work from home so they can be little Miss Housekeeper. If they want to climb that corporate ladder, just how does that sound against the male. No wonder the other gender makes more than us.
Just one question...any difference in temperature between the right and left leg?
Not trying to scare you or anything, but my clot did not hurt at first.
Well, was he kidding, did he laugh? Makes a big difference.
Also, is he very attractive, and I don't mean in your eyes, I mean in general. That too makes a big difference. On the other hand, I'm with you; sometimes I wish mine would find someone else to run off with too! lol
also, what time in the day is the wedding? Makes a difference. nm

is there a difference between foil highlights and pulling through cap sm
I've had both these done to my hair before. I'm just wondering, does one dry hair out more than the other? Seems to me when I have highlights done pulled through the cap, my hair seems dry.
Thanks
Thank you Trose, so do I believe it will make a huge difference, NM

Chic Shaper really does make a difference.

Wellbutrin here, it's made a 200% difference in how I feel. (nm)

I guess the difference is people should choose what they want to do (sm)
I do like yard sales but would also like to buy some new things that we need. I think my whole issue is that people should have a choice in what they do and how they do them. No one else should be forcing upon you the way you have to do things. The fact that you enjoy those things is wonderful. If someone was trying to force you to do them even if you didn't want to, that is not so wonderful. For example, I love to cook and I decorate beautiful cakes for all occasions for my family. If I did not enjoy doing those things and someone kept trying to force me to do them, that would be wrong. Do you see the difference?
If you don't hear a difference, there is nothing I can say to explain it. - no message.
No message. :)
