should curling be in the olympics? why is it in the olympics? whats the point?

Yes it should and don't criticize it just because you don't understand it. Curling is very popular in many parts of the world, just not so big in the USA. But it was one of the best attended sports at the Turin games, averaging over 90 percent of stadium capacity for every single round. It was also pretty much the only sport to have every match shown on US television, even if it was buried on an smaller cable network instead of the main NBC feed.


This will be a joint mortgage between myself and my partner who are both in full-time work

the fact that you are a first time buyer has little to do with the kind of mortgage to get. more important is how much down, how long do you plan to stay in the home, how much is your income, how much do you need to borrow.

I have a myspace and i love it. But i have been hearing that a lot of people have been raped, kidnnapped or molested from it. Does anyone know any better websites?

Myspace is no different than any other place online. Don't give out personal information...and you won't have a problem.\n\nIf you or anyone else, goes to another site, it won't be any more or less safe than MySpace if you've given out personal info.


I recently read about some new product that goes inside of strappy sandals, etc. that protects your feet from rubbing.

Sometimes websites and retailers of wedding shoes and accessories will have what you're looking for.  Or as a cheaper alternative you can buy a product called "mole skin" (not actually skin, don't worry) that's kind of a thick foam with adhesive on the back.  I think Walmart should have it near the pharmacy with the bandaids and such.  Try calling a few places in your area, other stores should have it, too.

i mean i really like this guy and i only talk to him once in a while but i can think of tons of thing to say but went i finally start talking to him i run out of things to say

Same thing happens to me but I guess you will just have to take note of the things that you want to tell him and sort of lead the conversation there. Otherwise, you let him lead the conversation and just go with the flow.


my computer started to slow down everyday a littler more how can I fix it and find out the cause, trouble shoot etc... help

Sounds like spyware or adware that has taken up residence in your computer without your knowing. These come in secretly through the internet. One way to protect against it is to run a scan to find these and remove. One of the better solutions is Spybot - Search & Destroy [ http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html ] run that program and you may be suprised how much stuff is running on your computer you did not know about.

classes in the evenings after my husband gets home. I have wanted to do something to get out of the house for awhile now. But now that I am I hate it. I have no interest in the classes I take and I don't mind my job( I work one day a week)because I like the people I work with. But I feel so guilty and sad when I have to leave. It bothers me the entire day if I know that I have to go to school or work. I honestly feel depressed and it ruins my entire day. The days that I dont go I am absolutly fine. Why is this and what should I do?

my dear...i don't have that kind of feelings. from what you said don't waist your, your husband and your kids(if you have one) time and money by going to a class that you don't like. instead, go out with your girl friends(buddies) or find out what would you like to do with your husband, like go to the movies, walk the dog, drive to nearest city and have diner out....something like that  Good luck girl.


plese tell me antivirus softwares names.

There are many antivirus packages available for Linux. \n\nYou can always download the source code for the open-source antivirus packages and install them after compile them (./configure, make, make install).\n\nMost antivrus products offer a bin (binary) file which you can execute at the shell (terminal) by typing:\n./<filename>\n\nThere might be packaged versions available for your distro (such as .deb or .rpm)\n\nI would advise you to read the manual of the antivirus package you choose for installation instructions.\n\n\nClamAV is the my favorite - free and open-source. http://www.clamav.net/\n\n\nOther options include:\n\n* Vexira http://www.centralcommand.com/linux_server.html\n\n* Panda http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/linux/linux.asp\n\n* F-Prot http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/


I want you to actually think about this, not just a quick nope. First I want to define what a god is. By definition it is a being that is all knowing, all powerful, and perfect. You know, large and in charge. Sometimes it is also in reference to the force or aspects of this being. Pretty much anything more powerful or knowledgeable we bow eagerly and cry out praise to our new found deity.\n\nNow the sun and the moon both exist but I think we can agree they are not either all knowing or powerful but people used to worship them. In every faith system in existence there has been failure for one reason or another. Even the major religions of the world all claim heed to the same guiding hand of the creator yet they all ride into battle screaming their God wills it. \n\nWe know now that even though celestial formations are out there, they are not some supreme being. Now people have learned to “believe” in gods they cannot see, I assume so that they aren’t as disappointed when \n(continued)

hmmm. interesting question. \n\nmaybe, i guess i am afraid of the gods that dont exist. i am afraid of his followers stoning me to death for not believing in him. \n\nbut, in the meantime, while i am not being persecuted, but only prejudiced, i am not afraid. i am only angry, and my free voice allows me to fight back.

I've been carrying this awful belly fat since I had a c section about seven years ago. I want it gone once and for all. Has anyone had this problem.

Losing fat requires a change in diet and exercise habits. \n\nYou'd need to eat about 5-6 medium-sized meals per day to speed up your metabolism. The body has the tendency to store fat if it doesn't receive nutrients in a steady pace. So if you're always eating a little, little or no fat will be stored. As to what you should eat in each meal, the first basic rule is avoiding processed foods as much as possible. Try making what you eat out of natural ingredients if you have the time. Avoid products with "High-fructose corn syrup" or "Partially Hydrogenated Oils" as much as possible since those are probably the main factors hindering your diet. In addition to eating well, drinking plenty of water and a good sleeping habit (8 hours a night) maintains your body in good shape. \n\nTo burn off the fat you had before you (hopefully) started eating better, you will need to do some basic weight lifting and cardiovascular exercises. Focus on the major muscles in your body, like the legs, the chest and the back to burn the most fat when you lift. Contrary to some people's beliefs, weight lifting is appropriate for women as well, since it helps you tone your body out. You will not become a bulky bodybuilder type woman unless you take steroids. As for cardio, try performing some sort of interval training in whatever exercise you pick. For instance, warm up jogging for 3 minutes, then go fast for a minute, go slow for another minute, then repeat 4-5 times, then jog for another 3 minutes to cool down. \n\nI hope this information helps you, good luck on your endeavor.

He repackaged Christianity to make it more "consumer friendly" to the Roman's and Jewish converts..

The root of christianity is what Paul taught. It is scary how today's christians will quote Paul and Paul's rules to the church more than Jesus'. Jesus came to fulfill the "Law" not to change it. No where does Jesus call himself a "God" He refers to Himself as the "Son of Man" and reveers the "Father" God.Paul deifies Christ and defines the trinity.\nYou would think If such a thing as the trinity existed, Jesus would have told His diciples the truth of it. Paul walked the earth the same time as Jesus,He was present at the stoning of Stephen, He pursecuted early christians in the name of the Sanhedrian  His conversion would have been as prevalent had Jesus changed his heart while Jesus had been alive, but with Jesus having been crucified Paul conviently makes up laws for christians subverting the faith and deceiving the world


any information on the above from the State Constitution or statute or court cases

what jobs can i get with a bachelor in criminology?

Its a whole lot like a business degree, it doesnt mean very much. The jobs where you would think it would count the most dont really care if you have one. Take police, for example. That job is experienced based, and tho it counts a bit (in that it will give you an edge over someone who doesnt have one) they need so many people that it wont matter in the long run and in the end the knowledge you get in the Academy is much more important than class-room learning. Keep in mind, any degree is good... very few people actually end up doing what they went to school for, and companies who care about college degrees generally do so becuase of what the degree SYMBOLIZES (perseverance, desire to learn, punctuality, etc.) much more than what that little peice of paper says. Hope this helps


I mean how can someone say I love you one day and just leave you the next? What's wrong with people why can't they just tell the truth?

This is reality. People lie. In a relationship, there has to be honesty or it will never work out. It's best that she is gone. You will find someone new. Learn as you go along in life and always watch your back ...


my modem downloads at a snails pace, sure its not my 3gig p4 on asus p4p800 e delux cant find answers or control over speed anywhere in control panel under various(device manager,nettwork conections etc can anyone help I'm only on the net for drivers to make music and cant update primarily because of speed problem "thanks for any effort much appreciated"

If this is a dial up modem, there's not a lot you're going to be able to do, as the speed depends on the quality of the wiring from within your house to the outside, from the outside of your house to the phone co., and from the phone co. to your internet provider.  If this is a DSL modem, and you're speed is that slow, I'd suggest checking into cable modem service, or contacting the phone company providing your DSL service to find out why your performance is so bad.


OK, now that i know how to reward those customers that have stayed with me for the last 5 years, how do i get back the ones that i've lost?  (that have decided to go elsewhere.)\n\nand how about those that have tried my company and never returned, what do i do with them?  do i try to keep them, or let them go??\n\nthanks!!  you guys are a great help!!

Have a 10 question survey that you hand to every customer.  Once they fill it out and drop it into an annonymous bin they get an entry for a contest that is put in a seperate bin.  You then use the surveys to see where your business is failing customers.\n\nIf you know specific people who have tried your business and never come back, and you see them in public by chance ask them honestly why they never returned.  You may find that there was some oversight that they felt was huge but was really something small.  You can offer discount cards for them to try you again.


I realize we get goosebumps when we are cold to kinda 'puff out our fur' and keep us warm... but why after a sneeze??

Please be serious about answering this, it'll take a while to get to the real problem I've got.\n\nRecently, as in about a month ago, a boy who moved down here late last year asked me out. We had already met eachother on -- yes -- the internet. Anyway, he's two years older than me, and really wants to be serious about our dating. This is techically my first boyfriend, and I don't like being really clingy. To top it off, I've always been horribly touchy about skin-to-skin contact and he's wanting to always hug and things like that. (He knows the strict limits, though.)\nThe thing is -- I really LIKE him. Like. L-I-K-E, not L-O-V-E. I can't imagine six months, a year, two years from now, being able to smile and tell him -- or anyone else -- I love them. Therein lies the problem. I can't imagine spitting out 'I love you' to any man or woman alive that I'm not related to, even years and years from now. Is that something to be worried about?

No, it is not something to be worried about. When the time is right with the right person you will be able to express your true feelings.


Im working on an assignment for Model United Nations and this is my topic if any body can help thanks!

I believe that 'illegitimate rule' is simply the situation where a country/state/people etc is/are ruled by a person or regime that does not have a democratic or constitutional right to rule. I.e. they have taken over government by force without an election or without the support of the existing constitution.\n\nNew Zealand, as a supporter of democracy, does not support unconstitutional or undemocratic actions. However, in normal circumstances, its reaction to such governments is determined by the resolutions passed within the United Nations and/or the Commonwealth. It rarely acts unilaterally and believes that the UN/Commonwealth is the appropriate vehicle through which sanctions or other actions should be channelled. To the best of my knowledge New Zealand supports and complies with every UN mandated sanction. Some recent examples of NZ actions include:\n\n(i) Iraq. While in no way supporting the previous Saddam regime, and being wholeheartedly in support of international efforts to democratize Iraq, NZ nonetheless did not support the US led invasion, because it did not have UN approval. However, it has subsequently sent forces to Iraq to support a UN resolution to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure.\n\n(ii) Fiji. Historical links, significant trade interests, and Fiji’s influence and strategic position in the region had made the bilateral relationship with Fiji among New Zealand’s most important in the South Pacific.  However, after the May 2000 coup, relations between Fiji and New Zealand cooled and sanctions were imposed.  \n\nFollowing the CMAG decision in December 2001 to lift the Commonwealth suspension on Fiji, New Zealand followed suit and lifted the sanctions it had in place.  New Zealand fully normalised its bilateral relationship with Fiji in December 2003.\n\nHope this helps in some way. Good luck.


I wear a lot of different styles. I also wear jelly braclets and wristband with many of my favorite rock band's names on them. When ever he can he likes to walk by me and whisper "Goth" in my ear. At times like that i seem to really dislike him but then he'll do something that makes me laugh. Plus almost every time I Look at him he is looking back at me. He spreads rumors about me and then bumps into me whenever he can. He also seems on edge when I seem to like some one he knows. Some times i just want to slap him and tell him what a jerk he is and others i want to kiss him! Please help me with what I should do!?

OMG! that's wat a guy does to me!!\nHe liks u, and u no it! The question is DO u lik him? \nThe only reason he wispers "Goth" is because he wants to get ur attention.

How Well Do You Know Your Bible\nContradictions In The Bible\n\n1.Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel?\n(a) God did (2 Samuel 24: 1)\n(b) Satan did (I Chronicles 2 1:1)\n\n2.In that count how many fighting men were found in Israel?\n(a) Eight hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9)\n(b) One million, one hundred thousand (IChronicles 21:5)\n\n3. How many fighting men were found in Judah?\n(a) Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9)\n(b) Four hundred and seventy thousand (I Chronicles 21:5)\n\n4.God sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine?\n(a) Seven (2 Samuel 24:13)\n(b) Three (I Chronicles 21:12)\n\n5.How old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem?\n(a) Twenty-two (2 Kings 8:26)\n(b) Forty-two (2 Chronicles 22:2)\n\n6.How old was Jehoiachin when he became king of Jerusalem?\n(a) Eighteen (2 Kings 24:8)\n(b) Eight (2 Chronicles 36:9)\n\nThis is but a sample, I have just about 100.

100? There's a LOT more than that- don't you use the Skeptic's Bible list?\n\nSo- of those listed, how many affect doctrine or the central lessons of the Bible? No denomination I know of bases any doctrine on the age of the varius kings, or the numbers of soldiers.\n\nYeah, you can make the arguement that it somehow destroys the integrity of the Bible... but it really doesn't when two different authors over a period of time disagree on relatively minor issues, especially when the oral history element is facotred in.\n\nThe only REAL issue is that it invalidates the idea of inerrancy of the Bible... but for that to be an issue, you have to believe in a pretty 'stiff' and formal definition of inerrancy- the idea that God's hand moved the pen and protected each translation... which is so obviously untrue that it amazes me anyone believes it.


It bothers the other people in the library where i usually study. Go figure...

i am selling my farm property and i would like to know if i have to pay capital gains tax in the state of michigan? it is 56 acres and i have to pay the ex wife 50,000 dollars for divorce settlement, any info would be appreciated,,\n\nthank you

No, you don't need a tax accountant.\nYou need Turbotax for $20.\n\nhttp://www.turbotax.com/\n\nIt will determine if you pay capital gains by asking you a bunch of questions about the property.\nThen it will print out all your tax forms all neatly done for you and you can even send them in on the internet with it. I always do that.


Who were the first geologists to study Hawaii and what did they find?

Before the pineapple plantations, a geologists discovered the large aquifer(Maui Oahu?) and drilled for the artisan well. It is dry where the plants are, wet on the other side of the mountains where it feeds the groundwater.


i am sick to death of bills for this and tax for that and working for years for very little gain,everything i do it seems costs me money..i love the outdoors and am wondering if i could survive outside being totally free maybe living in a tent moving around the country (england).i would have enough money from the sale of my house to feed me for the rest of my life . the life i lead right now is just work , work ,work and after work im just too exhausted to do the things i enjoy...i dream all day of being free of everything, waking up by the side of a river,or watching the stary sky at night,or walking in the mountains.... i aint a criminal/junkie/wierdo im just an avarage 35 yr old male who wants freedom!!...is this possible nowadays to live like this? i say to live in a tent because if a camper van then i would need insurance and therefore an addresss....\ndoes anyone else think like me or is my mind just screwed up from the daily grind of working in some crappy job for years?

YOu can have anything you want. Make a plan, do some research and go for it. \n\nAfter my divorce, I had no job and no idea what I wanted tod o with my life. Someone reccomended this book on getting what you really want and it changed my life. It taught me how to set up goals and brainstorm. I wrote a "dream day" for myself and a few years later, I experienced many features of that dream day. I also made a goal of getting a house for myself. \n\nYou can drop out of society and live in a tent, I would take some time off and figure out what that would REALLY be like. You might just want to downsize and live in a lower cost place, do a more enjoyable job. Just ask some questions of yourself and your friends and family. If you've tried it, love it and explored all your options..... GO FOR IT.


Multiplying by 12\nImagine your number to be pre-pended with a zero. Each digit (including the prepended zero ) but the last has a neighbor, i.e., the digit on its right.\nRule: to multiply by 12: Starting from the rightmost digit, double each digit and add the neighbor. This gives one digit of the result. If the answer is greater than 1 digit simply carry over the 1 or 2 to the next operation. Example: 0316 × 12 = 3,792:\nIn this example\nthe 3 is neighbor to the prepended zero.\nthe 1 is neighbor to the 3.\nthe 6 is neighbor to the 1.\nthe last digit 6 has no neighbor.\n6 × 2 = 12 (2 carry 1)\n1 × 2 + 6 + 1 = 9\n3 × 2 + 1 = 7\n0 × 2 + 3 = 3\nInstead of pre-pending a zero, you can think that the first digit only needs to be copied, adding any carry.\n\nMultiplying by 11\nRule: to multiply by 11, recopy the last digit. Then, two by two, add digits next to each other. Recopy the first digit.\n\nExample: 3,422 × 11 = 37,642\n\nRecopy 2\n2 + 2 = 4\n4 + 2 = 6\n3 + 4 = 7\nRecopy 3\n\n\nMultiplying by other numbers\nThe 'halve' operation has a particular meaning to the Trachtenberg system. It is intended to mean "half the digit, rounded down" but for speed reasons people following the Trachtenberg system are encouraged to make this halving process instantaneous. So instead of thinking "half of seven is three and a half, so three" it's suggested that one thinks "seven, three". This speeds up calculation considerably.\n\nIn the same way the tables for subtracting digits from 10 or 9 are to be memorized.\n\nMultiplying by 5\nRule: to multiply by 5: \nTake half of the neighbor \nAdd numbers up, two by two \nAdd 5 if number is odd \n[edit]\nMultiplying by 6\nRule: to multiply by 6: \nAdd half of the neighbor to each digit. \nIf the result is odd, add 5. \n\nMultiplying by 7\nRule: to multiply by 7: \nDouble each digit. \nAdd half of its neighbor. \nIf the result is odd, add 5. \n\nMultiplying by 8\nRule: to multiply by 8: \nSubtract last digit from 10. \nSubtract 9 from the other digits. \nAdd result to the neighboring digits on the right. \n\nMultiplying by 9\nRule: to multiply by 9: \nSubtract the last digit from 10. (Ex.: 10 - 3 = 7) \nSubtract the middle numbers from 9, and add to the number to the right. \nTake away 1 from the first number.


1. Black Man + White Woman\n2. White Man + Black Woman\nWhy do the two scenarios above spark so much controversy?\nAs you answer, please specify which category (1 or 2 above) you are speaking about.

Both categories seem to upset alot of people!  WHY?  because they r ignorant and completely stupid is why!  I am white and I can honestly say these people need to get a life and stop worrying what other people do with their lives!  Pretty soon the population will all be a mixed population!  I know I have a 15 year old son and his girlfriend is Mexican and people even look at him wierd!  She is the sweetest most caring girl I have ever met and I know I would be proud to call her daughter in law!!!!  I would rather my son marry someone Mexican or Black and be happy then marry someone white who treats him like crap!


I am learning and would love to talk with someone who is on the same journey that I am on.

Yes.  As in the Gospel of Thomas, or Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching, or James Carse's Finite and Infinite Games, or Elain Pagels' Beyond Belief.\n\nI searched long an hard as a kid, and I'm still on my journey, though much nearer the end now.\n\nLook up some of my recent answers and see what you think.  Skip the math, of course.


If the day after tomorrow's yesterday is a Thursday's yesterday, what day is six weeks and one day after today?

a Thursday's yesterday is Wed.\n\nso, saying the first part differently:\n\n  "If the day after tomorrow's yesterday is Wed....."\n\nTommorow's yesterday is today.\n\nSo, revising the first part again:\n\n  "If the day after today is Wed......"\n\nSo "today" must be Tues.\n\n6 weeks and a day after Tuesday is a Wed.\n\nAnswer: WEDNESDAY\n\nAt least I explained it!


new interns and resident have difficulty following the rules of the unit.  HELP!!!

Residents get geared up when their problem solving switch gets flipped. Promote a cooperative exchange by bringing them in the unit and showing them the present procedures, enlist their help (hehe) by soliciting comments on possible improvements, or benefits gained by following current procedure.\nThat way they have a clearer perception of why you do what you do. (yea). And your department can benefit from the input too.


I don't want to get fired, so make it harmless.

IDEA #1: Hopefully he has a tape dispenser.  If so, holding it upside down, gently remove that thick tape on the bottom of it.  Put a piece of paper over it.  Gently turn it over and put it back on your boss's desk.  Then pull out the piece of paper slowly.  \n\nThen sit and wait.  The next time he/she picks it up, the sand inside of it will fly everywhere.  That's a classic.\n\nIDEA #2: Change the darkness of his/her monitor so that it's completely black.  Then sit and wait.  It's on.  He/she can't see anything.  They call I.T. for help.  I.T. gets there and they fix it and look at him/her like he/she's an idiot.\n\nIDEA #3: Remove the ink from EVERY pen in his/her office.  I love that one.\n\nIDEA #4: Turn his/her phone all the way down so they can't hear it ringing.  He/she will wonder all day why all the messages keep going to voicemail.


Ice is water but in a solid form.  Water consists of H2O.  The bond between the H-O is a special one because of the difference of electronegativity is great enough but not enough to affect other water molecules and form a weak intermolecular H-O lattice, but not enough to form ionic bonds out of these.  So, this H-O lattice causes water to have properties such as this where at around 0 degrees Centigrade, it intermolecular forces and the lack of vibrational forces for the molecules cause them to form a solidified network latice of water molecules (ICE).  When rock salt is introduced, this lattice network is broken because salt (ionic compound) dissociates upon the impact of water.  Water is highly polar and the salt has a positive and negative charged ions associated to them.  These ions disrupt the network of hydrogen bonding that has faithfully held the water molecules together, thus changing the exterior requirments to solidify them.  Either pressure has to increase or temperature has to decrease in order to have intermolecular forces that are great enough to cause rigidity.  And there goes your reason why salt melts ice and the need for salt to melt ice from time to time.


If your boss keep saying you will get better benefit (for salary & position) since last Oct but until today you didn't get the cfm for anything. Just wait for her top boss who always keep busy in business. Then you are keeping work as a slave. Dreaming of your boss's word.\n\nIn the same time, you are thinking for other work experience or better atmosphere. But it's also a risk to grab an empty air or your future career might worst than the present one. What should you do?

Obviously your work doesn’t include the need for being able to write clearly.  \n\nQuit dreaming, focus on your job, find ways to do it better.  If you want advancement you must earn it.  Waiting less than six months is not a very long time.  Demonstrate to your employer that you are the best at your job and necessary to the operation.  Not by saying it but by doing excellent work.


Please check out my open questions on child molesters, murderers and sex offenders and give me your feelings and opinions. I need more opinions for the paper I am writing, and still think that the people on Yahoo! Answers are the best people to get opinions from on the subject. I can reach a larger and more diverse audience in the shortest period of time. Thank you!! I appreciate any help you can give to me.

I was 23 when I had a hysterectomy , I was blessed with 2 boys before this. I'm interested to know anything on this matter . Wether it is in the U.S. or not .

A hysterectomy is not reversible. After a hysterectomy, you will no longer be able to bear children and you will no longer menstruate. You need to think about the impact these changes would have on you.  In order to carry a pregnancy, you must have a uterus.  The uterus is not an organ that is thought to be amenable to transplantation, hence there is no research in this area. Even in the most ideal circumstances it would be extremely unlikely that a transplanted uterus would be able to carry a fetus to maturity. Although organ transplantation is very successful today compared to the past, it is still only accomplished throught the use of toxic drugs that poison one's immune system and cause numerous side effects. Unless one has a life-threatening disease or is reliant on a technology like dialysis to go on living, a transplant is not worth the risk. Until immunosuppression is perfected, a uterus transplant would not be imagineable since the risk would far outweigh the chances of carrying a successful pregnancy.

I'm in the 7th grade and at the begining of the school year I was perfectly fine.. I always acted myself (goofy and as if i didn't really care what anyong thought about me) I had a good friend who was in 8th grade... we acted exactly the same but she stopped hanging out with me and ever since i've just not been my hyper self where i laugh a lot no matter who i'm with. no im afraid to be myself in front of even my cousins friends.. i'm really confused.. can u please help!?

It is normal to change personality.  While you are growing up, your personality is affected more by outside sources than your own inner sense of self.  This is because you haven't found yourself yet.\n\nYou probably acted like your friend because you were around your friend a lot.  People tend to act like their friends.  When you lost that influence, you became like an asteroid that has broken free from orbit.  Your personality sailed around out of control until something else picks it up.  It's not a bad thing and is completely normal.  It gets better over time.\n\nJust make sure that it's not too extreme.  By this, I mean make sure you don't go from being really hyper one minute to suicidal the next.  This could be a sign of a mental disorder and you should talk with your parents or a counsellor about it.  I'd say, though, that you probably have nothing to worry about.


Currently I am volunteering at a non profit agency and receiving a monthly living allowance. I cannot support myself and my four children. I need full time employment that will help us to live above the poverty level. We are from New Orleans by way of Hurricane Katrina. My boys are attending school here in Baton Rouge, LA. Our house was flooded along with all of our worldly possessions. We will probably by living here for some time.If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. My dream is to attend LSU, get my MFA in Creative Writing and become a successful author.  Please help! ASAP

I would recomming making a stop over by http://www.laworks.net/ \n\nThey should be able to help you find work in your area, and provide infomation of grants/scholarships for LSU.\n\nHave a great day

i am treating the depression but the root cause of my depression is the OCPD. what should i do to treat THAT?

Assuming you mean OCPD and not OCD (as they are distinct diagnoses), there is no real treatment for the personality disorder, however your specialist should be able to advise you on how to deal with the effects so that you are able to focus on overcoming your other problems and maintaining a healthy and happy life


then talking to him but never mentioning the school that i'm transfering to then he calls and tells me he just got accepted into the same school.  I actually still like him but am not sure of his intentions so any advice on what i should do?

its bound to happen - its probably coincidence, don't read too much into this until you see his next move


5' 10", blue eyes, medium build. Loves dancing, light social activities, dinner parties, and a light ammount of gambling (were talking $40-50).


Just curious.  It drives me crazy when my boss "forgets" that she already told me to do something.

That they always want to blame the staff for their decisions.  They expect us to remember stuff from three years ago without having to look it up, they will change how tings are done on a moment's notice, and will tell three differnt employees three different things on how they want something done.  They cut us off before we can tell them something then ask why they were never told.  They say there is "no money" for raises, then buy $50,000 vehicles for their salespeople, then blame the office staff that their profits are down.  They also sell products at lower than they pay for them and blame the staff for them showing a loss on it.


I need to put together a semi-casual kilt & suit on a budget. Also, do I really need Gillie Brogues, or can I wear normal dress shoes? Normal dress with spats? Also also, are the awesome socks (with the little hose flappy things) acceptable if I'm not wearing Gillie Brogues? If you need an idea of how semi-formal this is...my jacket will be brown courdoroy.

A casual kilt is most often not pleated in the back but the front only. You might look for a local seamstress or couture to design one for you.


Do you guys have any racial experiences? It can be about your family or somebody else. The racial experience could have happened to you or, you or one of your family members  might have said something racial. Some examples are that my grandparents call other races names.I'm just wondering. If you gave details it would be great.

One time I was in a store and I saw a little boy point at a black manaquin and make a little gun out of his hand.  He said something to his dad that I couldn't hear, but it made his Dad very mad.  I heard his dad saying that he had plenty of black friends and where would he get an idea like that.  \n\nI wonder where that little boy got those racist ideas.

When moving out of a month to month rental property what is considered normal wear and tear when it comes to security deposit refund. We have been in home 2yrs 3mths. Home will be left clean and ready to move in with exception of possibly needed interior paint. ( It will be cleaner upon moving than it was upon moving in ). Please provide me the legal definition as per landlord/tenants rights and responsiblilites for california.  Thank You, Kelly Dolin

This is the best link I could find to answer your question ... the term "wear and tear" is extremely vague but it offers some guidelines  http://www.santabarbaraca.gov/Resident/Home/RHMTF/security_deposit.htm\n\nI've also post the law which does not specifically "define" wear and tear but you can look that over as well.  Usually if there is a dispute you would have to go to court or mediation services to resolve the definition of "normal wear and tear" as it applies to you.


Will they refuse Turkey to enter the union even if Turkey does the "homeworks" very well? Why they will accept or not?

The EU doesn't want Turkey in. If they did, Turkey would have been a member many years ago. \n\nI find it strange that the Eastern European States are entering the EU so easily, while Turkey, a very powerful country, that would add much to the EU, is barred from entry.\n\nI am also surprised that the Turks still want to join the EU, it's such an insult to Turkish Pride, I mean, this IS Turkey afterall, the Ex-Ottoman Empire, being insulted by Europeans who refuse it entry into a regional union. \n\nWhen countries like Slovenia get in so quickly and Turkey is left out like that, I'ld look elsewhere for friends.\n\nEurope is confused and hypocritical.\n\nSad sad sad.

can anyone help me please? im getting mary in 20 days but my fiance ex girlfriend cant face the reality. she still count him as her boyfriend. infact, they brokeup since 13 months!! she studied psychology and after she broke up with my fiance, she was depres and for that, ahe is under  psychiatrist treatment. but she never stop calling home and even email both of us with a nasty language. threat sometimes. she clearly mentally sick, and so very hard to deal or communicate with her. she is very weird. what should i do whithout involving police ? thakns a lot....

I had the same problem with my ex.  You should block her number and emails.  If she cant get to you that way though she will probably have to come to you. Getting a restraining order is you best bet to get rid of her. If you have that on file then if she comes near you she will be in trouble and if she gets hurt it will not come down on you.  If you get the restraining  order nothing will happen to her unless she violates the order. Please get the restraining order that is how I stoped it.


why are different stars seen in different seasons and why do they move everynight although the pattern of stars stay the same.

Because planets are actually moving in relation to stars.  They are orbiting the sun.  They are also a lot closer to us than stars.  For example, when you drive, you see mountains in the distance.  You are passing those mountains at 65 miles an hour.  They appear to be going by very slowly.  But when you pass a light pole right next to you at the same speed, it appears to whizz by really fast even though it's the same speed.


Could you please tell me how can we evaluate the company and the finance manager

Economic value-added (EVA) is ameasure of economic perfomance of a company that uses the firm's net profits less a charge for the consumption of capital. \n\nI can not tell you how to evaluate the company, because I have no idea what kind of company you want to evaluate.


Is there any shape or colour difference?

If you are culturing someone who is sick - say someone who has pneumonia - then chances are the colonies that are all alike and have the greatest number on the plate are the ones causing the problem.  You run biochemical tests on them and determine if they are known pathogens.  Stuff gets complicated when you have someone with a bad immune system and the bacteria that are normally good are actually the bad ones.

Whats a Good, Easy to Use, Flash Slideshow creator? It would be nice if it was free. I would also like it to generate the HTML for inserting the File into a webpage. I don't want it to be a plugin to another program.

I am sorry for the above answer - while we know that things are difficult over there, it is difficult for us to remember the Iraqis when we have troops so far away from home getting injured or killed.

Not worth the effort. Guessing u want to dump "trashed" computer rather than get rid of the "horse". I'd get rid of the horse and save the computer. The other optionis "scrap" the hd (as thats only place the horse lives) and stick a blank (cheep used) ("F" disc it first and don't put anything on it) drive in it, and sell it for what ever....

i graduated about 10yrs ago with a degree in the social sciences. i have taught in a school, worked in an oil company and a bank but in each case, i get fed up after about a year and resign. And it has nothing to do with the wage which was always good. Now i'm on my way out of a telecomm firm.why do i always feel unfulfilled with these jobs?

I feel you.  I am the same way.  Most of the time its because I learn the position and get bored.  Then I move on to the next challenge.  In my mind, there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this.  You are getting all you can out of an employer and building up your resume.  One thing that I know is that in the corporate world,your expendable.  You could be the best worker in the world, enjoy what you do everyday, and be canned tomorrow because the co. didn't make the profits they thought they would. Your best bet is to continue to move on until you really find your calling or open your onwn business so you are your own boss.


I bought a 20 Gb Ipod and filled it with all of my music.  To make a long story short, I lost the music files from my PC, and one day, witout any reasonable cause, ,a all I got in the screen of my Ipod was a sad face.  I've taken it to the Apple service center and they told me it cannot be fixed and I might as well throw it in the garbage, but Some other people have told me that it's possible to fix it.  Please help!

i had my ipod give me the sad ipod icon twice.  first time i recovered it by sending it in.  the second time, i didn't get it fixed for three months.  i went to the local apple store and traded it in.  i have a mini.


i care about this man alot hes so sweet but am scard of getting hurt again.

Time will tell.. if he respects you and seems to have a decent history with relationships then hopefully he's sincere.

Who will win it all this year? Is the WBC worth having?? Who will win the WBC? The series??

Who will win it all?\n- If the Yankee pitchers stay healthy they will win easily.  That line-up is unbelievable.  \nIs the WBC worth having?\nThe WBC is a great idea; it's the timing of it that stinks.  So many great players are refusing to play, choosing instead to stay with their major league team.  Those that are playing risk a major injury. I would like to see the WBC take place right after the World Series.  More players would participate, and they would play harder knowing that they had the winter to recover. \nWho will win the WBC?\nAll along I thought the USA would win, but than I saw the rosters for Venezuela and the Dominican Republic and now I'm not sure.  Venezuela has GREAT pitching, and that's what usually wins in a tournament like this.


When you answer a question, the spell check is right at the top of the answer box.  Is it just that hard to see and click on?  For example, its sense of humor, not since of humor or sence of humor!

You are right !\n\nI use it , but the spell checker can't find everything, so I think your example wouldn't fail the test.\nWell, my English is really bad, I know this, and so it bothers me , if somebody uses letters instead of words. For example : How R U ?

I am looking for pink softball cleats for my 7 year old.  I've seen them before but I can't figure out what brand they were.  If anyone could help that would be wonderful! Thank you!

Nike might have some, or a local sports store, and places like Galyan's Sporting Goods and Dick's Sporting Goods. They have both of those stores at malls usually and you can look up the locations on their websites. If you do an internet search I am sure you could find where one is somewhere near you. Good Luck!


I know a man have stretch mark in his shoulder. But all my girlfriends have them in ass and areas inside legs and knees. why man will not develop them in these areas?

girls store fat in different areas than men do because of child birthing capabilities


Lately I've been drinking an insane amount of water, maybe 30 cups a day, and I still feel constantly thirsty. I have worked out more than I used to, and am also going through some spinal adjustment with a chiropractor. Can either of these be causes of  thrist?

This could be a result of a medical condition such as Diabetes, I would consult with my medical Dr. soon. Be sure to fast before seeing the Dr. to get an accurate blood sugar reading, you can almost guantee that is one of the first things they will check first.

Who cares? Does her opinion really matter any more than a neighbor, or some random person in a city 200 miles away? She has a right to her opinion, whether it be educated or in the mainstream view.


If you can do it discreetly, sure why not?  Just don't dig in so conspicuously that someone would be offended by it.


I am taking a college level alegbra class and hate it. I do not understand many of the concepts. Can anyone help me find a website that will assist me in learning?

Try http://www.math.com\n\nThey have many informative tutorials for all levels of mathematics.


error message appears.  i have to close and another signs in.

Let me try to understand. First you sign-in and then you sign out. The another person enters his login-id and tries to signin but it fails. You have close Yahoo Messenger and then restart to signin?\n\nThats very strange!! Because if you enter the password and user-id clearly it doesnt matter how many people sign-in one after another.\n\nMaybe you should uninstall YM and re-install it. It could be some installation issue...\n\n.:Fishie:.


My son has had 7-8 ear infections since he has been born in 2005.  The doctors are going to put tubes in his ears.  These tubes eventually fall out on their own so how do tubes help in the long term?

Here is some info.  You can find more on the site...\nEar tubes are small tubes made out of plastic or metal that are placed into the ear drum to ventilate the middle ear. The middle ear is that part of the ear between the ear drum and the hard bone surrounding the inner ear. The middle ear is, under normal circumstances, filled with air at the same pressure as the surrounding atmosphere. The pressure is maintained at this normal level by a natural tube called the eustachian tube. When pressure gets greater or less in the middle ear (for example, when changing altitudes in a plane) the eustachian tube opens, causing the ears to "pop" and the pressure to equalize. The eustachian tube also opens during swallowing, chewing, or other jaw movement without producing the pronounced popping sensation.\n\nIf the eustachian tube is not functioning properly, it will not open. This causes the pressure in the middle ear to drop. High negative pressure in the middle ear will draw fluid out from the surrounding tissue and cause fluid to accumulate in the middle ear. This fluid can become infected, setting the stage for recurrent ear infections (otitis media). The infection causes swelling, making it even more difficult for the eustachian tube to open.\n\nEar tubes are placed to break this cycle, allowing the ears to drain and to ventilate. The drainage acts in the short term to remove any fluid in the middle ear. The ventilation function is the more important long term benefit of the tube. With ventilation the lining of the middle ear can return to normal. Since the pressure in now equalized with the surrounding air, there is no accumulation of new fluid and the chances of additional infections is reduced.\n\n \n\nThese are examples of two type of ear tubes. The diameter and the width of each tube is about 3 mm (one-eighth inch).\n\nEar tubes can also help out in those cases in which there is negative pressure in the ear but no fluid. The negative ear can lead to feelings of discomfort or fullness and hearing loss. If the symptoms do not improve with medical treatment, an ear tube can equalize the pressure in this case as well.


This is not a question for you lovely golddiggers out there. I have to give her something every day without getting a pout from her. She tells me in the saddest tone of voice, "its okay, I still love you". She is very pretty and she thinks that if I stop giving her stuff then I will stop loving her.

U have a big problem on your hands. Spoiled and pretty don't mix in a relationship. You should WANT to give her something not HAVE to, i.e. if you feel pressured to give her something all the time, sooner/later you won't WANT to do nothing for her at all. Nothing wrong with asking, but girlie needs a reality check. You can't always get what you want (unless you're filthy, stinking rich). Tell her how you feel and her reaction will better help you make a decision. Oh by the way, try and drop out of her manipulation 101 class.

My husband died and he had no will. We had a car and there was credit life insurance on the car. They paid off the car and there is $6000.00 left. I filed chapter 7 after he died. Can I claim it? He had two adult kids and we had 1 adult child together. I filed in Oregon.

Ask your bankruptcy lawyer, they will know.  It won't hurt to try.


Answer the three questions. \nThere were 7200 cars. Each car drove 31% of the occupants lives. Out of all the cars, 3,200 are four seaters. All the rest of the cars are 6 seaters. 38% of the people lived to be 53, 2% to be 54, 12% to be 55, 18% to be 56, and the rest lived to be 57. Out of all the drivers/passengers, the cars are 80% full and the 4 seaters are 100% full. How many people are there? How many 4 seaters are there? What is the combined driving time of all the cars? How many people are there of each age group?

set up variables for everything.\n\nFor example: 7200 cars.  3200 four seaters.  then the rest is 7200-3200=4000 six seaters.  the 4 seaters are 100% full so 40000 people.  the total is 80% full thats 80%*(4000*6 + 3200*4) etc


I recieved a check from United British Lotto with a check from Quaker Window Product in my name it by the letrer is intended to pay fees and taxes on my lump sum winning. I'm sure it is a scam but, What could be done legally if I cashed that check and kept the money?

Often these kinds of things have print on the check saying that if you endorse this check you agree to xyz.. Read it carefully.

I heard that u can enlarge ur penis up to 2 inches...but how?

You can stretch it by fixing weights to the base of your schlong, little weights can be bought you tie them with some soft thread, (there is a website that sells the equipment) you need to avoid stopping blood flow of course. once you have the weight on it must be enough that you feel the pull then gently swing the weight, you must do this every day for at least 15 to 20 mins if you dont feel a pull then you should add more weight, the way it attaches to you is the dodgy bit it must be right, I saw a guy who could hold the weight of a guy and also saw him pull a microbus full of people which was attached only to his dong, if you dont have weight then you have to pull it with your hand at the base, you must pull hard and I dont mean jerk off just pull it and keep it pulled for as long as possible.


Have you been on Medifast? Did it work for you?

No.  It sucked.  I was hungry all the time.  I only lost 1 pound the first week then nothing for two weeks.  I gave up.  It doesn't help you make the actual changes you need.  I found its diet and exercise that work the best.  I did the body for life thing and it worked for me.  I lost 50 pounds in 6 months and have kept it off for 3 years.  good luck!


I'm in the process of losing over 100 pounds with great success (yay me!) but it looks like the loose skin I now have is not going to bounce back, even with the exercise I'm doing. Has anyone out there been in my situation and had plastic surgery such as breast lift, arm lift, tummy tuck, buttocks lift, etc.(or all of the above!) and what has your experience been? THANK YOU!

I have had a tummy tuck also a breast lift after losing a lot of weight it was a great success and my advice if  it makes you happy do it.\nthe only thing with regards to surgery is that it can become addictive.\nAt the moment i have some back fat that i am trying to get rid of and if it does not shift i will have surgery to get it removed well done though on your weight lose keep up the good work


just had a stray thought while i was filling out a form today.  social security numbers have been around a long time.  when all the possible numbers have been used up, do they recycle them and re-assign numbers of deceased people?  or will they do something like the phone companies did when they ran out of  x0x and x1x area codes, and change the system?\n\nplease answer if you know, the guys at work don't want to hear any more about this!

The Social Security Administration says the numbering system will provide enough new numbers for several generations into the future - despite the fact that more than 400 million have been used, with 6 million more issued a year.\n\nThe number of possible combinations is 10 to the 9th power.  This equals 1,000,000,000 possible combinations.  There are approximately 600 million left.  At the current rate that would leave enough for 100 years.\n\nUnfortunately, Social Security is predicted to remain 100 % solvent only until 2041 and then only be able to pay out 74% after that.  There will have to be some reform in the future if Social Security is to survive until the numbers run out.\n\nSee the source below for some other interesting Q and A on Social Security numbers.  Te secod source addresses the solvency questions.

i have a lab test and im not sure what its for. i have been ill for a long time and have had lots of tests. but im not sure what a cortisol test is for. what illness or medical issue is a cortisol test used for?

Diseases\nHypercortisolism: Excessive levels of cortisol in the blood result in Cushing's syndrome. \nHypocortisolism, or adrenal insufficiency: If on the other hand the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient amounts of cortisol, Addison's disease is the consequence.


(he was very rude and was getting mad at me because I honestly could not understand half the questions he was asking me!) He could barely speak english and I'm a US citizen

Yeah most of those people are bunch of rednecks with over inflated egos (probably that's why they get picked for the job). They are rude with most people so don't take it personally. Personally I wouldn't bother with it cause nobody will care unless you really fell strongly about it, in that case check out: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/customerservice/handle_complaints.xml\n\nIt's kinda hilarious to read their "Pledge to Travelers":\nhttp://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/customerservice/pledge_travel.xml


When I see him on wednesdays at church, I always K.I.T it were he does, and his always looking at me then he smiles at me all the time. Does he like me?

If he is smiling at you that sounds like an invitation for conversation. You should accept his smile as an approachable opportunity to introduce yourself.


We've known each other for a long time, and we're friends. I've asked her out twice. the first time, she said yes and then canceled at the last minute. the second time, she said she was busy. I have a bad rep, as a player, but I really like this girl, and in spite of what everyone thinks, I really want to change and settle down.

The best answer is to be there.  Let her know that you are interested, and that you are there for her as a friend at the very least.  You can't "make" anyone change their minds... but if you demonstrate your ability and sincerity, then they at least have the option.

im hosting a youth baseball tournament and would like it to be unforgetably fun ,still competitive.

Make sure you have enough facilities. Create some sort of tournament format. Try to promote the kids as much as possible. Have a Public Address announcer. Make MVP's for games/tournaments. Keep obnoxious coaches under wraps. They're kids not pros so the more annoying Bobby Knight type fathers that are there, the more problems that you will have.


minutes, would you favor unleashing the U. S. nuclear arsenal upon the attackers?\n\n*Question taken from a book.  Not my question but curious to hear your answers.

No, that would just mean the extinsion of human kind, we would just need to defend us and destroy the arsenal of the enemy.

My name has been slandered on my job in a way that my integrity has been under attack. Now every person that I come into contact with on the job treats me this way. What kind of legal action can I take?

You can file a civil lawsuit for defamation of character, or for slander.  But it's a difficult one to prove, and therefore you may have trouble finding a lawyer willing to take the case.  The chances of winning such a case in pro per (that is, being your own lawyer) are vanishingly small.  For one thing, you must prove detriment: that you have been harmed in some economic way.  If the harm is just emotional, then you must have medical expenses for treatment, or something which can be calculated as economic damages.


I currently work for a company.  I would like to start my own consulting business on the side.  My question is, how should I set up my company?  As a separate entity?  What is my best tax strategy?  Is there a way to keep my personal income separte from my consulting income so that my tax rate doesn't go up or keep my from contributing to a Roth Ira etc? Finally would I be able to set up a SEP plan for my consulting company while still particpating at my employer's plan

You may want to read the article "Balancing Part-Time Business with Full-Time Job" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol114/balancing.htm\n\nRegarding tax rates, unfortunately I don't think there is a way for you to separate the two. Even if you do an LLC, you will need to file a K1 form to reflect your business earnings.\n\nOne tax-saving measure you may consider is Self-Employed 401K. From the article "Self-Employed 401K: A Retirement and Tax Savings Tool for Small Businesses" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol149/401k.htm \n\n"The Self Employment 401(K) plan allows a self-employed individual or business owners with no employees other than a spouse to open and contribute to a Self-Employed 401(k) plan and receive a tax break from the contributions."\n\nIt would be best to consult with a financial/tax advisor to help you plan ways to control your taxes.

And what would you change about the team if it needed changing?

Picking up those three defencemen doesn't seem to have been the solution.  I think that this season is a lost cause for them.  However, Mika Noronen is an improvement over Cloutier.


I'm bowling in a tournament coming up. There is a male bowler, bowling in this tournament also who is a 200+ average bowler. He is going in with a 160 average because he did'nt bowl last year. How is this fair to the other bowlers in the tournament?

If those are the rules of that tournament, then don't compete. It will be difficult to beat him if he is handicapped at 160.\n\nThis is probably not an ABC sanctioned tournament, else he would come in with no handicap.


What measure of central tendency would be most appropriate for a measurement of salaries when there are a few people in the sample who make over one million dollars, but most of the employees sampled made under $50,000, why did you choose the measure that you did

As with any sample, you generally discard the highest and lowest extremes to reduce the rate of error. Millionaires can be found in any field and are atypical of the population anyways, unless you are talking about Wall Street :)


I was treated badly by a Wiccan waitress at a local restaurant. I kindly asked for more tea. She told me to shut the f**k up. Then she flipped her middle finger at me.\nHow are we to believe Wiccans are kind and gentle people when some of them get so combative.

don't leave a tip ..maybe she will learn some manners...


I lost my yahoo password for a different id, and could not remember the answer to secret question too. However i keyed in my correct birth date. \n\nHow long will i have to wait until i that ID is removed from Yahoo server so that i can reuse it again.

The id will not be deleted from server, it will just be deactivated, so you wont be able to create the same id ever again.\n\nAnd, u could possibly try one thing, contact yahoo (help@yahoo.com) and tell them ur situation and ask them to let u communicate with an admin or a higher grade official who has more powers. Give them all the details u have got about ur account (like, approximate date when it was created , ur registration info provided, what mails u have on ur account right now etc.) and they MIGHT help u...

I am in class XII in India. My SAT score is 2070. I wish to join for undergraduate engineering in the top univ in either USA / UK. I need guidance please.

University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign is a fantastic engineering school in the US.  I go there for graphic design but over half of my friends are engineering students.  Its a large and diverse campus that can seem intimidating but once you find your niche (and it isnt hard to find it) you'll find the campus is very welcoming and entertaining.  It will give you, not only a good education, but also the "college experience" that so many students dream of.  \n\ngood luck on deciding a school.  in the end, the best advice i can give you is to find a campus that you love and that you'll be comfortable in.


i heard this from a freind says everytime he updates his pc it wipes out the hardrive and locked it up so you can not reformat it and reinstall windows xp. so is he lieing he told me microsofts new validation thing wipes out not valid key users. of its products. so how true is this and how can i tell him to stop it.

Any fantasy you have that you would NEVER want your spouse to know about?\n\nYou don't HAVE to list the fantasy (Esp not in detail). \n\nI'd like to know if this is the case and why you feel spouse would be shocked / unaccepting / judgemental.

I think, especially from a spouse, there is an unconditional acceptance of anything...including a fantasy, which taken correctly, could enhance your relationship. I know it would have helped mine.\n\nGood luck and acceptance is KEY.


what would you do at a party for fun????anything.

ok seeing as how you liked the last one....hmmm....well you can play quarters.  Make three shots in a row and make a rule like "no sliding the quarter" or "no saying drink, drank or drunk".  You can play "three man" with some dice everytime a three is rolled the "3 man" drinks, 7 = left, 11 = right, 5&1 = social...then make up a bunch in between.  You can play the "name game" you think of a famous person then the next person has to play off him/her.  Like I say George Clooney...next person has to start with the "C" from Clooney....Chris Farley....then "F"....Fred Flintstone...then because of the double "F" it reverses.  So the guy who says Chris Farley would have to go again real quick "Farrah Faucet" then it'd reverse again.  Then that guy would get stumped and have to drink.\n\nYou can play Kings if you're feeling extra dangerous.  Take all the face cards and the aces and put em all face down around a pitcher in the middle.  hehehe.  each person pulls a card (one at a time).  Oh and add the 9s too.  9 = ryhme.  That person starts a ryhem (can't spell) then each person goes around and has to keep it up.  10s are i dunno guy on left drinks...jacks guy on right drinks....queens every one drinks....King, the first three kings pour into the pitcher...as much as they want/have.  The last King has to drink it all without stopping.  Aces person who pulled has to drink.  That outta hold you over for a bit.

I had a hotmail account for a while, but I don't want or need it anymore because people I dont like or care about still send me crap.  I know I can block senders, but if theres a way to close it so that I don't have to keep going back in to erase new messages it would be better.  Does if close automatically if I don't use it for a while or something.

You can completely forget about your hotmail account. Whats going to happen is that it will close after 90 days with NO ACTIVITY. I've had this happen with one of my hotmail accounts and I got an email saying that it will be deleted if the account isnt activated. \n\nIf need be, you can always contact the folks at msn.com. But just leave the account alone and it will be closed by the Hotmail peeps.

I just got them takesn out about 5 and a half hours ago. my tongue is no longer numb but my bottom jwa is. When will the numbness ware off, and when will i be able to eat real food again???

One word of warning--no sucking (straws, cigarettes etc).  I ended up with dry socket and it was terribly painful.  My recovery was drawn out because of this.  \n\nThe experts say:\nFoods should be chewed on the side of the mouth opposite the extraction. Avoid hot liquids and alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours. In the case of difficult extractions, consume a soft or liquid diet for the first 24 hours.   http://www.medicinenet.com/wisdom_teeth/page2.htm


I really believe that when our so called leader was elected, he had a job that his dear ole dad could not finish. He went into office withone thing in mind and that was to start a fight with Saddam. Sure I believe that the war on terrorism is a part of our safety. But now even George Bush admits that Iraq did not have WMD's. \nNow our sons, daughters, husbands, wives are over there losing their lives in a war that we cannot get out of right away. My 20 year old son is in the army stationed at Fort Lewis Washington getting ready for deployment in August 06'. He has already taken out a $400,000 life insurance policy because he know that he has a chance of not coming home. If our so called leader was in this situation as I, things might be a little bit different. If it was his sons and daughters going off to fight a war that should have never started. So I will close with this, " May God keep his hands on our troops and bring them home safely to live a full productive life". Pray for them

When President George HW Bush was in office, it was a defensive war fought to liberate Kuwait from Iraq. The goal of the war was only the freedom of Kuwait, not to move into Iraq, although a number of US generals were pushing for it. Bush, Powell and other leaders decided it was not in the best interest to go in at that time - this wasn't an "unfinished war" despite what people want to say to demean the current President. The Kurds, thinking we were going to help them free themselves from Hussein, started an uprising. When we didn't come into Iraq, Hussein's army easily suppressed the rebellion and then proceeded to torture and kill entire villiages and towns, including through the use of WMDs (sarin gas), and then openly attempted to assassinate Bush after he was out of office.\n\nAs part of Hussein's surrender, they had to comply by UN laws and treaties. They did not for 12 years. Why would you fault Bush for taking a murderous dictator for task? And name one war that we "got out right away?" We still have troops stationed overseas from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. For some reason, Americans decided that wars can be fought during commercial breaks during sitcoms. Wars are drawn out processes that result in many lives lost, but for the hopefully greater good of society.\n\nGod bless your son, but don't trivalize what he is fighting for.


that I can expect to have? I have already started to feel light headed and irriatable

Lexapro should never be stopped without consultation with the prescribing doctor!  As a nurse, I do not feel comfortable telling you the symptoms of stopping it without medical intervention.  However, it is dangerous to stop this drug on your own.  Please see your doctor immediately.


what i mean is should all decisions that effect the public be put to a vote eg. going to war putting up taxes etc...\nthey are suppose to be working for us so why shouldn't we get a say what are your thoughts.

No.  The idea of a representative democracy like the United States is that we elect leaders to make these decisions for us.  While direct democracy (what you described) is great in theory, in practice politics is a full time job.  If people are going to vote on every issue they also have to discuss and debate every issue in order to make an informed decision.  If all citizens were expected to serve essentailly as members of congress (this is effectively what you are asking), society would cease to function.  Factories, resturantes, schools, and stores would have to close every time there was a political issue to be decided.\n\nHolding a general election is also extremely expensive and time-consuming.  You need people to supply the ballots, run the polls, and count the votes.  Special intrest groups spend huge sums on advertising for a bill they support or oppose.  Holding general elections more frequently is not economically practical.\n\nYou might say that direct democracy worked in ancient Athens.  However, direct democracy worked in Athens because slaves, women, and children kept things running while the male citizens were busy with politics.\n\nFurthermore, most issues decided by congress are far to complex for the general public.  You may want your say in abortion rights or gay marriage, or a politically charged war like the one in Iraq, but if you trust the general public to review budget proposals or redistricting measures you're insane.  Even matters like the Patriot Act are beyond the comprehension of the average American.  Try actually reading the thing - you'll see what I mean.  There are times when it is critical to raise taxes (like in the case of [legitimate] war) but asking the public to vote for it is essentially asking people to voluntarily hand over a larger portion of their income to the government.\n\nThe solution is not to switch to direct democracy but to vote for representatives who will make good decisions.
