nowadays, I think most people cheat their spouse. \nif you think you've got true love, from who? and it was first love?

I'm sure I do. \nlove is all about faith, knowing something without any proof. so i cant say why i feel this way with my husband but i can say without a doubt it is unconditional because i will always love him in one way or another, whatever happens in the future...\nI haven't cheated on him, and he's not cheated.\nAnd also some say the truest love is the love of parent to their child.\nLove comes in different forms....


Y2K cost businesses millions of dollars to have all their computers adjusted so they wouldn't all crash at the turn of the century. Year 2000 came in with a whimper--nothing happened. Are businesses angry about it?

I think it had positive ancillary effects.  Businesses had to examine their practices in detail and evaluate what their risks were.  Doing such things is always good, even if it was because of an unknown threat.  Businesses were forced to become focused and efficient.


You can find a lot of hot spots in the world looking on http://www.jiwire.com/ \n\nEnjoy.


Which do you think is more powerful...\nfear or love \nand why?

We all fear rejection, it's normal when experiencing something new. You have nothing to worry about.


it's only a half of a teaspoon... or 2.5 ml in metric.


i want serious well thought out answers. this is not a joke ballots so please answer accordingly. i want answers concerning predjudice most of all.

Humans are not perfect and can never be perfect. We are never fully in control of our own emotions, and the more opportunity we have for acting on our emotions the more likely we are to cause trouble. Therefore, all our ills stem from our imperfection and therefore prejudice, discrimination, and violence will never be eliminated.\n\nThat being said, they can be minimized. Prejudice, descrimination, and ultimately violence are expressions of the same problems: greed and a perception of differences, be they racial, gender, social, wealth, handicap, etc. Everybody has essentially insatiable wants: greed. To satisfy these wants, one group of people will inevitably resort to trying to take advantage of another: discrimination. The struggle of one group against another for dominance ensues time and again: violence.\n\nGreed is an immutable facet of the human being, as natural as hunger. Though greed can't be effectively curtailed, one might instead minimize differences between groups of people and thereby reduce the number of targets for prejudice, discrimination, and violence. To do this, one would have to create a single class of humans that is as all-encompasing as possible. The only way I think this is truly possible is for all governments and religions to be united as one (or, alternatively, eliminated) and either all wealth and means of attaining wealth to be as equally distributed as possible or hoarded for the state's exclusive use; either way, people are equally well (or poor) off. Attempted methods for creating a single group of people are myriad, ranging from Nationalism (allow only a single ethnic group to exist) to Communism (ascendancy of one all-encompasing economic class) to Anarchy (eliminate all major classes so everyone is equally insignificant) to various forms of utopianism too varied and unlikely to count.\n\nObviusly, these solutions don't seem very palatable to a democratic people, but prejudice and violence is the price we have to pay for diversity and freedom.


It seems like the places that advertise are all in collusion, and once you order, you are a returning custome and pay three times as much!

Go to your bank, tell them you want to know what the cheapest check you could order would be.\n\nI just recently changed banks and the old bank would charge you around $20 to order a box of checks. But at my new bank, it cost $10. So you may want to shop around and check out what the average price of a box of checks from surrounding banks would costs.


http://www.oksenate.gov/news/press_releases/press_releases_2006/pr20060120a.html\n\nWould this be ethical?  Should the State have the power to murder it's citizens?  Isn't this more harsh than an "eye for an eye"?  Wouldn't this represent too harsh a sentence?  Or is this totally appropriate?  Should other crimes be listed under the death penalty?

I was molested by my brother when I was 13 and while I would like to say yes, I can't. I've forgiven my brother since then, but my forgiving him doesn't mean that I've suddenly forgot about the entire incident or that I approve of what happened. I think this is not the corse to take. I do think that harsher penalties should be in place though. There was one case that I was watching on Court TV and this guy raped a minor and only got 6 months for it. That's a slap on the wrist. I don't this would be grounds for you to use the word murder though. These child molesters in a sense have murdered their victims, because I and many others will never be the same. I use the word murder because that is exactly what it seems like because they kill your soul and any hope you had for the future.


do you do it because you really think you gave the best after reading the others, or do you do it just to give yourself more points??

If I honestly think that I have given the best answer, then I do. I admit it. I have often voted for others' answers though.


i am trying to find a site that will give me lots of information on medical marijuana

i just found this sites. Hope it helps.\n\nthe site you mentioned seems to look reliable, i just went on it.

i just need to know the risks of wearing a pad for long periods of time

yeast infections and odor issues.\nwhy would you need to do that?\nsounds like you need to go to the doctors...\nor try panty liners.  you can wear those daily without\nhealth risks.


I would love to write prrity, lovely, funny, and fascinating essay.\nPlease tell me what kind of essay interest you? \nAny answers are welcome.

Essay composition is a very good tool for the expression of the person/writer as it affords the opportunity to write about issues that may be only better presented by an essay instead of verbal speech. Although the wording and positions of the writer are indeed statements such in Rhetoric I find that I can express myself better when I write than when I deliver a speech on a particular subject.\nWhen I write my opinion and have the opportunity to edit my work then I take my composition and present it personally and in spoken form.\nTry it and you will enjoy it. Research and jot down your notes carefully as you prepare you thoughts.  Jose


I need a site if possible or something.. ;[


Sometimes prefer funniest answer to the obviously correct one?

there was once this situation rite,\n\nsomeone emaild me asking for a change of his email username, so like from 123@abc.com to 456@abc.com - ok so i did that.\n\nThen again after a few weeks he emails me from 456@abc.com asking "why on earth i havent changed his username!"\n\nim like whoaaa... he shud b some computer crook or something...


I know how to research, including the websites.  What I'm asking for here are real-life stories - how do YOU like YOUR laptop?  Would you recommend it?  Do you wish you had something different?\n\nI'm looking for a business-use machine (gaming not desired), but I'm interested in whatever YOUR experience is with a laptop.  Which has great service?  Which crashes all the time?  Which is too big, too small, too heavy, just right?  What do YOU think is the most important feature?\n\nYour songs of praise and your tales of woe with your laptops, please.

I have a Toshiba M45 - S359\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BKABC6/002-9371304-9284833?v=glance&n=541966\n\nIt is a work horse. I have been using it for the last 7 months and it has given me no problem at all. If you are sitting in a "quiet" room, you can hear your hard drive spin. That is fine with me. \n\nThe computer is pretty fast. I've played CIV 4 on this system without any problem. The fan is working great. Overall, i've had no problems.\n\ni hope it remains the same way.\n\nHowever, there is one thing that I really did not understand. Toshiba pulled the sales of this laptop 2 months after I bought mine. I'm not quite sure why Toshiba would do that. They replaced this series with the A100's. \n\nYou asked for my experience with my laptop, and here it is!


Im interested in this woman who I dated briefly, everything was great, but she decided that because we work together we shouldnt date.  She wants to be friends.  Well, she leaves the job in may.  Should I friend it up until then (phone contact and such), and ask her out again or keep my distance (friendship on a budget so to speak) and then ask her out again... I like her a great deal and find myself caring for her very much, I would love to be with her, but I fear getting pegged in an "I don't see you that way anymore" position.

I feel you should be friends with her even if it means she's leaving work in may. When she leaves, you can show or tell her how you feel. At least your work will never get in the way. But it's always best to go with the flow. Don't push it. You can ask her out on a date but don't tell her that. Treat it as you guys are hanging out as friends. That's all I can think of. Hope it helps!

I don't think that he was.  None of the obituaries seem to mention a wife.


Well, what I know is that it's infected to the eye and it can be transmitted.  So is it related to massage?

Well the only way I can see it being related is if the massager rubs his/her eye and then touches the client or the clients rubs his/her eye and then the massager massages the hand.


i'm 14 yrs old and i have to study for exams help!!!\np.s i am really stupid

Wayyyyyyy back when, my biology teacher led us through procedures that pretty well guaranteed decent grades.\n\nHe had us keep notebooks with at least five sections. Notes, daily work, drawings, tests, and another which I forget.\n\nNotes were taken in class. Daily work was homework or free study work where we had to answer questions. Many of the questions could be answered right out of the book, but we had to rephrase them. Drawing, for biology, explain themselves. It wasn't art, but developing the ability to see what we were looking at and reinforcing it by making a labeled sketch. Tests, so that we could review right and wrong answers for future tests. Everything saved was corrected so that we had the right answers.\n\nThis notebook, along with the memory aid "SQ3R" carried us through what we couldn't discipline ourselves for or invent on our own.\n\nSQ3R was for reading our text information: Survey (skim it first), Question (what questions does the skimming raise), Read (look for answers to the questions while reading the text), Recite (find some way to talk about the new information. Relate it to something), Review (look over all the materials in notebook and text before quizzes and tests).\n\nOne other tip he gave us for science classes was "learn the vocabulary. You will have mastered half of the subject if you learn the special vocabulary and understand what it means."\n\nTo show how effective what he taught was, here I am repeating what he said 45 years later.


Bible Zechariah 11:12 This might not be it, googled it


answers should be in form of a term paper

There's a few of them on eBay.  You could set your price around theirs or go higher and hope you get a better bite.


can I check the html to see the program used to create my webpage?  It is on a disc, and I need to know which program was used to create it. What is the easiest way to find this out?

Some programs will use the META tag with the content-generator attribute to tell what program created the HTML. Look for it in the HEAD section of the HTML.


Definition:  Body Spam - n. slang for unsolicited physical contact.\n\nI was body spammed last week at a bookstore.  The clerk kept touching my arms when she spoke.  Drove me nuts.

Egad! I do not allow strangers to touch me other than a handshake. That would drive me nuts too!


What conventions should they observe?  What rules?

Important things to be aware of are:\nResumes might require different data than what you are used to.\nH1B work permits are bound to the employer that applied for it; green cards are not bound to an employer but will not be renewed when you get unemployment benefits at the time the green card is up for renewal.\nAvoid giving information that could be used for discrimination. \nBe prepared that employers ask for a drug test, even if this is illegal in the country you come from.


Hey Dallas fans, are you okay with Owens playing for Dallas?

im very pleased.  Bledsoe will do better,  Terry Glenn is now more* of a deep threat, Julius Jones will see less 8 man fronts because of the double coverage on Owens, and you cannot forget about the best TE in the NFC, Jason Witten.  This pick up will create mismatches galore for the Cowboys on offense.  The opposing Defense will be less wanting to blitz because that could mean 1 on 1 for Owens,  This could be a good year.

what is it and how can you test it with a child?

Inferred reality I would say is a term for another persons perspective. I really doubt that you could actually test such a thing because you would have to have a standard to test by, therefore in the case of reality everybody will have thier own definition of what it is. The question of why reality exists is sometimes taken to be unanswerable or meaningless: reality "just exists", it is held, and no further explanation can be given. Alternatively, it is sometimes held that reality exists because it was created by something outside of it. Were reality to lack an explanation, it would be acausal and could not sustain itself, whereas were something outside of reality to have created it, it would be relevant to reality and therefore inside reality by definition.


You see LVN program only takes a year and Nursing is four years. But I am currently working full time as a Nurse Asst.

Hmm, definitely do nursing...any program that takes longer will have better opportunities for job employment cause it requires longer investment of time.


I ask because it moves through space and my understanding of time is that it's really just matter in motion.

By black hole and singularity we mean two different things: \nA black hole is just the area around a singularity, where the escape velocity is equal to or greater than the speed of light. The event horizon itself forms before the singularity. \n\nIf you use Schwarzchild coordinates, you'll also come up with a singularity at the event horizon, but that's only because of the coordinate system. With a different set of coordinates - Kruskal-Szekeres or Eddington-Finkelstein - the singularity at the event horizon will disappear and the math works out to singularity at r = 0.


other 2 siblings have to pay final bill.this person said god told him where to give the money.i think god want us to pay our sibling's funeral bill 1st then do what we want after getting a gravestone too.what do you think?what would you do?we tried so hard.did't work out.now these people have kicked our sibling out because the money is all gone and he is in a men shelter. we won't give him money out of our share.why should we.we have helped him in the past.everyone says don't give him anything as that would not help him.he has caused this on himself and now he has to face what he has done.

You're either referring to "intendance", having to do with the care, handling or management of funds, or you mean "inheritance".  None the less, this individual showed immense selfishness, simply using "God" as a scape goat in order to "justify" his own actions.  All you can do at this point, is move on and take care of business.  When we lose a loved one, it's unfortunate that there are those in the family who reflect such thoughtlessness.  Very sorry to have read of the sad and frustrating time you are going through.  I would definetly avoid enabling that particular individual by giving him ANY money out of your share.  So don't use any energy towards "should we?" or "shouldn't we?".  You can certainly be there for each other without enabling anyone.  Take care, okay?  You will be fine.  Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.\nPS. PLEASE,...DON'T make your brother's failure to pay taxes ANY of YOUR concern!  It sounds as though he is "making his own bed".  You lay in YOUR own bed and let HIM lay in HIS own bed.  You're gonna have all the hair pulled out of your head by the time it's all said and done!  You don't wanna do that?!  We CANNOT make ourselves responsible for anyone elses actions.  I know you love your brother, but please remain separate from pickles that he gets himself in to.


I am thinking to open an online store selling my handmade soaps and skin care products, but not too sure about the legal regulation. Do I need a licence to do so?

Looking for Good hotel for a couple of city folks and their 13 year old boy. We're looking to do some rafting and ATV rentals. Any advise will be appreciated. My wife is scared of rafting but she's going to go, words of assurance would help.

I have done some rafting and kayaking with Natahala Outdoor Center.  Their outpost is on the south side of the park like 50 miles from Pigeon Forge.  This is a top notch outfitter that can put you on a half dozen rivers in the area.  While I have no experience with their lodging I know they do have a lodge and cabins available.  They cant help you out with ATV's but they can set you up with mountain bikes. This is a world class outfit which pays a lot of attention to safely.  They will ask about your skill level and preferences and put you into something that you are comfortable with.  You will be hard pressed to find a more professional, experienced and safety conscience outfitter.  Their web site is www.noc.com .\nI hope this helps.


If the the JW religion is the true one than what happens to the church Jesus founded 2000 years ago?  How does that work into things?  Are the JWs considered the church that Jesus founded and if so why did it take 1800 years after to start?  If they are not then what do the JW people represent?\n\nWhat is the Jehovah's Witness stand on this?\n\nCan a Jehovah's Witness please explain what the reality is here?

There are many religions (as an example - Gal.1:13 below), but one faith (Eph.4:5 below).\n\n\nEph.4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,\n\n\nWhen we are baptized into Christ by the Holy Spirit we BECOME a “new creature” (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15 below).  We become, individually, as well as collectively, the living body of Christ (Col.1:24 below).  We become the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below, 1 Cor.1:2, 1 Cor.15:9, Gal.1:13), the one faith (Eph.4:5 above).\n\n\n2 Cor.5:17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he IS a new creature (Gal.6:15 below): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.\n\nGal.6:15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (2 Cor.5:17 above).\n\n\nCol.1:24Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which IS the church (1 Cor.10:32, Gal. I:13, 1 Cor.1:2).\n\n\n1 Cor.10:32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God (Eph.2:16 below).\n\n\nEph.2:16 And that he might reconcile BOTH (Jew and Gentile - 1 Cor.10:32 above) unto God in one body (the church of God - 1 Cor.10:32 above) by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: \n\n\nGal.1:13For ye have heard of my (Paul's) conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the  church of God (1 Cor.10:32 above), and wasted it.\n\n\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

Is it safe to pass through scanners. x-rays or other screening devices at the airport while in one's first trimester?

They don't use x-rays on humans at the airport. The scanners are metal detectors, and yes, it's perfectly safe to travel when you're pregnant (as long as you're not on bed rest, etc...). Just make sure you drink enough water on the plane so you don't get dehydrated and walk around a little (to and from the bathroom) every hour or so to get the blood circulating to your legs.


how can we make budget for a product(shoe),an example

In the beginning it is so much different b/c you are traveling to different places to network with people and figure out who's going to make what parts and then how they are going to get paid and when.  There is so much work that is done even before budgeting.  There surely needs to be some funding that can be tapped whenever to support the idea/business.  Depending on how big your funds are is what really determines your budget most of the time.  But when your looking to make money with a quality product, and not nesseccarily NOW (LOL), you have to sink what you have into it and then wait for it to catch on......word of mouth and from peoples peers are the top ways.  Plan out a time line of what you want to be and where in the next year and then break down your steps.  ex: Get a bunch of friends together and brain storm, search net to see where products can be ordered/made, plan trips accordingly, etc.  Planned things usually work better.


Not that I know of.....But she is a model/actress wanta be, Which may explain the pics.


Im asking because i have this friend who is a cool guy but has no qualms whatsover about asking for money, or smokes, or for people to get him high. i wouldn't have a problem providing these things if this guy only had a way of paying me back or being able to help me out in the future, but he has no money and i feel like i am being used.

The healthiest friendships are selected and maintained based on criteria that matches your beliefs and lifestyle.\n\nYour friends should not exist just to receive benefits from you. Obviously, situations are rarely this clearcut. However, you may wish to deemphasize this friendship and put more effort into mutually rewarding friendships.


I'm making a sclae model of a tank and I need to know what are the bands made of, and where could I find the materials or the band itself.

You mean the part that gives the traction?  It is essentially a large chain like device made of steel plates linked together kinda like a bicycle chain.  The wheels have teeth on them that drive and guide the track.  Often the plates of the track will have a section of hard rubber tread attached to them also since a tank is made to travel and not push like a bull dozer which have the steel treads that bite in deep.  A tank travels much faster and often on roads and the rubber prevents excess damage to the road and allows higher speed and better handling.  Google up some images for "Tank track"


Don't answer if you haven't or don't know what I'm talking about.

Yes, I have. Is that all you wanted to know?


The past two years all he does is stand and look aroung then hops a few feet and stands and looks again. He does fly, but not too often. Do you think that he could be selling realistate and is checking everything out?

No, I don't.  I think he is getting old just like I am.  Maybe that is all he can manage to do at his age.  I know I am limited anymore as to what I can or cannot do.  Sucks, too.


It has been happening for about two months.  I eat like a normal American (which doesn't say much)...I don't somke...don't do drugs and probably only have two drinks a year. I am 37 and within a normal weight range.

You should see a doctor. It could be polyps or cancer or a fish bone. No telling! It isn't worth wondering, best go get it looked at.\n\nI felt like someone was choking me so I went and asked my doctor, as it turns out, my thyroid had grown back over the last ten years since it was taken out and it was filled with nodules. Go figure! No one expected that answer.


Water level can  be lowered for long genitals and balls.\nOver in europe it is quite common in German private homes, sitting men,  can even catch the last drop with toilet paper.\n makes carpeted bathrooms,  snugly and odour free.\n\nMen can easily pee outdoors on grassy  lawns,  walking along , so that grass is not killed by the  concentrated strong ammonia residue.\n\n Most women prefer using grass, there is less leg splash. Some women can direct the flow as well as men.... they are not asked to  often.\n\nIn Britain , some club urinals  are equiped with lower glass shield=  to save men's shoe.\nIn italy all angles  are built up with bricks or  iron curve with spikes, to keep alleys smelling nice. \n Now, all bars, let you pee for free.\n\nSome men aim at water drains   very neat... sewage gets it anyway,\nIn America=USA , the phone booths are where they pee.... surrounded by grass! Unused,  because of local  prudery.

Ok, maybe I am just stupid, but didn't you just answer your own question with all that?\n\nMen stand to pee 'cause they can.  And quite frankly, I am jealous when they can just whip it out and whiz while we women have to wait, and wait, and wait till we get to a restroom.


American is For Sale to the highest bidder!\nTESTIMONY:\nSubcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy.\n\n"In recent years, important capital flows are coming from emerging markets, including Asia and the Middle East. These flows are expected to continue – and not just because of oil.

No, wars will not end in our lifetimes.  Don't make the same mistake made by Karl Marx, in assuming that all human social activity is influenced by economics.  There will still be people in the world who want to conquer us solely because of our religion (or lack thereof), our culture, or just because they're idiots.\nKeep your (gun)powder dry.


There aren't any Roman Deities that start with the letter "W" because the ancient Roman alphabet didn't have that letter. The letter was added later for languages other than Latin.


Do you think that puerto rico should be a stae of u.s why I think so because we already pay taxes for them we defend them all the dont do is pay taxes for us.plase say yes are no i wont this to be a vote and state your reason why you said yes are no. thank you

That's a good question.  I don't think Puerto Rico should become a state; most Puerto Ricans agree with me.  The average per capita yearly income in Puerto Rico is about half that of the US national average.  I'm not an expert, but I do know that different tax, wage, environmental, and various federal laws apply to Puerto Rico that are not uniform with those in the 50 states; integrating the island into the US law system would be difficult.\nA higher percentage of Puerto Ricans have served in the US military than almost any other minority ethnic group.  Puerto Ricans have fought valiantly in all of America's wars since PR became part of the US.  Their loyalty is unquestionable.\nI'd like to see a study that shows how much Puerto Rico's economy benefits the rest of the US, versus how much money we lose each year because Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income tax.  I'd bet we don't lose much, if any.\nPuerto Ricans have been given the chance to change their island's legal status, but they have freely voted time and again to maintain the status quo.  I'm fine with that.

I received the tickets for parking in a No Parking space, however the spot did not have a sign and the yellow curb was covered in snow. I need help, some information to fight the ticket, proof that they cant do this. I mean they gave me 2 tickets in a 15 hour period for the same offense.

You can try to protest the tickets, but they may say that ignorance of the law is no excuse.  You don't say where you live compared to where you got the tickets (If you live within a few blocks, they will say you should have known).  It also depends on why the yellow curb was painted (Was it near a hydrant or an intersection, in which case, the ticket will probably stand).\n\nYou may at least be able to get one ticket tossed and the other upheld.


I'm not going to give where it came from people would say I delusional, but the word is.....Capiss. Or it might be Capriss.


I'm an atheist, but I'd be willing to change my opinion if there were physical evidence of god.  The problem is, I can't see how god could prove his existence, short of appearing before me and teaching me how to create the universe myself.  I was wondering what other people would regard as proof.  PLEASE DO NOT SAY THE BIBLE, I was hoping for more original answers than that.

There is no more proof that God exists then that he does not.  Let those who need their faith have it.  It is their security blanket in a very large and lonely universe.\n\nEdit:\n\nYes, very lonely.  I refer to the prophet Yakko:\n\nEverybody lives on a street in a city\nOr a village or a town for what it's worth.\nAnd they're all inside a country which is part of a continent\nThat sits upon a planet known as Earth.\nAnd the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains\nWhich is out there spinning silently in space.\nAnd living on that Earth are the plants and the animals\nAnd also the entire human race.\n\nIt's a great big universe\nAnd we're all really puny\nWe're just tiny little specks\nAbout the size of Mickey Rooney.\nIt's big and black and inky\nAnd we are small and dinky\nIt's a big universe and we're not.\n\nAnd we're part of a vast interplanetary system\nStretching seven hundred billion miles long.\nWith nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one\nThat has life on it, although we could be wrong.\nAcross the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids\nIncluding meteors and Halley's Comet too.\nAnd there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons\nIn a panoramic trillion-mile view.\n\nAnd still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars\nIn a galaxy we call the Milky Way.\nIt's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other\nAnd still that's just a fraction of the way.\n'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky\nFilled with constellations, planets, moons and stars.\nAnd still the universe extends to a place that never ends\nWhich is maybe just inside a little jar!\n\nIt's a great big universe\nAnd we're all really puny\nWe're just tiny little specks\nAbout the size of Mickey Rooney.\nIt's big and black and inky\nAnd we are small and dinky\nIt's a big universe and we're not.\n\n<insert Carl Sagan voice correcting math here>


i wanna know also is it for example my delivery date is july 29 is it exactly that im pregnant since october 29?

Your due date may be July 29, but it may not be right on the nose.  If this is your first then chances are it will be late.  The pain is very intense, one of the worst I have ever endured.  They do have medication now that will help you, but still expect intense pain before they give it to you.  While it is true that once you see your baby the pain  is worth it, but you will never ever forget.


i have seen many muslim/arab woman, cover their face, with a veil. i agree to cover entire body, but not face. since if a lady cover her face, she gets more change to do adultery. because she sure no one can identify her, hence she will be able to go with Mr A and Mr B, and more simultaniestly. i think no one can procecute her, b-cos no one identify her. MY QUESTION IS, IS IT ALLOWED TO COVER HER FACE. IF YES, WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD MAY HAPPEND, IF No "Y" ?

I think it should be a womans choice. Noone should tell them they have to or they can't. I think the adultery point you mentioned is outrageous compared to other possibilities if you are taking that angle. They do not cover their face to get away with adultery, but for religios and moral reasons. If they could get away with adultery, who's to say they could not get away with robbing a store? Or kidnapping a child? Or murder? But I honestly feel like none of these are serious issues to be concerned with, and having the right to cover your face if you want should be protected.

The shows about The Anti-Christ,The Devil and Hell?? \n\nHow do they make you feel about the origins of the Christian church?How does it make you feel about organized religion in general?Does it make you feel a lot of skepticism about the origins of the Christian faith,i.e. ; CONSTANTINE?Has it shaken your faith down to it's foundation and made you wonder if all the paradigms that you've been forced to carry around all your life have been all for nothing??

Between "South Park" and the "History Channel" I realized that these jokers understood my Faith better than I did.  \n\nThis curiosity brought me back to Church ... further it lead me to re-take my RCIA classes ... further it lead me to enjoy a year long class about "Salvaion Fullfilled" and discusses the major points of History pertaining to the Catholic Chuch.  I am nearly complete with my course, and I've come to the realization that Public Schools teach CRAP about History ... How can you teach about History without introducing GOD???  No wonder I'm so messed up and the writers of "South Park" are smarter than me ... \n\nAnyways, Nicean and Constatine as portrayed by the "History Channel" has some valid points and some invalid points.  If you're really curious, may I suggest to contact a Church to see if they offer any free classes?


Not looking for a "social bookmarking" site...  I have thousands of bookmarks and I want to be able to organize them with a drag & drop interface.  I realize Firefox's built-in bookmark manager will allow this, but I'm looking for something a little more robust.  Ideally, something that has a preview screen of the bookmark's corresponding web page, a built-in link checker (finding bookmarks that link to dead pages), and maybe some kind of "optimizer" that will check my bookmarks on-demand or automatically & alert me to duplicates and newly-deceased current bookmarks.  I know there's an extension that will alert you when you try to add a new bookmark that already exists, but it's not really what I want.  \n\nIt can be web-based or stand-alone, but if it's web-based, I want the ability to keep my bookmarks private.  \n\nTHANKS!

I see you're a man who knows what he wants!  :)\n\nTry Netmarks Manager.  I think it prolly has everything you want.  "Dirt cheap" is relative, but it has 45 day evaluation demo.  After that it's $24 to register.


My skin is usually clear,but i got a minor breakout on my cheek.I have an important event to go to on Sunday. Is 4 days enough 4 my skin to clear...i use makeup but i still want back my smooth cheek!!

keeping your skin free of makeup will help more than covering it. i haven't worn foundation for over ten years. liner and mascara and lipstick but no foundation or powder to clog pores. my skin is blemish free and smooth. i don't look my age (40). i can blend with the younger thirty somethings.  keep your hands away from your face except to wash it. the more oils that touch your face the longer it will take your skin to rid itself of that pimple. mild soap and water twice a day. keep it fresh. don't cover it. that'll clog it.

? the shift depends on the velocity of the source of the light, not the velocity of the light. Or distance of foreign light can show you how fast an object something is moving away/towards you thanks to red/blue shift.

The red shift depends on the relative speeds of the source and the detector. It is simply an example of the Doppler shift, which occurs in light whenever there are such differences in velocities.\n\nIt is not true that everything a certain distance away will be moving at the same speed. On top of the expansion of space, there is the peculiar motion of the object itself. So, for example, the Andromeda spiral galaxy is actually moving *closer* to us (i.e. has a blue shift)! The point is that it is close enough that the velocity of expansion is overwhelmed by the particular velocity of that Galaxy. In fact, one of the hard things about estimating Hubble's constant is exactly trying to deal with these peculiar motions.\n\nSo, it is the velocity that determines the red shift, not the distance alone. As you go further out, the velocity of expansion is larger and so the peculiar motions aren't as relevant.


Now that I've got your attention, tell me (only if you've worked in retail) some of the stupidest customers that you've had to deal with, or the stupidest things they've done.

LOL!!! OH MY GOSH!!! I HAVE A MOUTHFUL OF STORIES LOL!! I did inbound customer service, that is funnier than actually dealing with a person face to face. \n\nRoadside assistance: An old woman calls me up terrified. She had pulled her Cadillac Deville over on the side of a busy freeway because both turn signals were on. I had to stifle my laughter and tell her "Mam, you tripped your emergency blinkers, push the button below  your steering wheel that has the orange triangle on it and you are good to go"  That call was not uncommon, I dealt with a lot of older folks who were not used to all the fancy stuff on cars. \n\nI had a tow truck driver call me who was scared to death because he was at a customer's house who had a flat tire. The guy lost the key to his tire, the car had to be towed into the dealership because the tire could not be removed without the key. (it was Thanksgiving day) of course nobody was opened on THanksgiving. The guy was trying to hold the driver hostage and you could hear the guy yelling in the background. I'M NOT LETTING HIM GO!! BESIDES I THINK I LIKE HIM IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY!!" \n\nI worked for Nestle consumer services. A woman calls in a panic asking me what to do because her kid snuffed coffee mate up his nose. Don't call me, call your doctor. \n\nI had another woman call because her kid was throwing up severely after drinking some of our Juice, the woman said the can was rusty and when she gave the kid the juice. I told her that is why the child was sick. She then said "well I am not a bad mother, I just didn't want to waste the juice" :S  HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S YOUR SIGN. LOL\n\nAnother time some guy called screaming at me because his daughter fixed herself some hot cocoa and the cocoa had little worms in it you know the ones that get into flour and oatmeal and stuff. SHe drank it anyway and was sick I began to question WHY She would drink cocoa with worms in it and all the guy could say is he took a drink of her cocoa after she got sick and he was a little sick himself. He wanted to sue NEstle > LOL the dork had the stuff on his shelf for over a year with the excuse that they only drink it during the colder seasons. LOL HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S YOUR SIGN ! LOL!\n\nI can keep going LOL BUT ISN'T OUR WORLD A CRAZY PLACE.


do you think ther is another speices out there or do you think we are all alone?

I do too many nice things for people... and it always comes back to me but not in a good way. How can I say no to people without feeling like crap, and I want to learn how it is ok to say no and not be a bad person.

I tell you I could have wrote this question about 15 years ago.\n\nYou can say No in a nice firm way without people getting upset, and just because you say No doesn't mean you are a bad person.\n\nIt means you have some control over your life.\n\nI am giving a very odd example but lets say your friend want you to help them move, and wants you at their house at 5 am to help.\n\nYou want to help, but you don't want to get up that early, after all it is your weekend and you want to sleep in. You say yes and you are going to be hating yourself the whole weekend and your friend too for making it such a early start.\n\nHere is how you say No...I'm sorry I would love to be there at 5 am but I really need to get more sleep lately..I will be at your house at 9 am and am committed to 5 hours to help you on one day...the next day I will come by and help you for X number of hours.\n\nThe point is you have set a boundary. They want your help this is what you are offering them...take it or leave it...most people will be happy you can help at all.\n\nIf it something you really don't want to do and don't want to feel like a bad person tell them "You know I would love to but....\n\nMy grandma is in town and I promised my parents I would spend the day with her.\n\nI have a final I have to study for and if I don't ace it this will affect my grades.\n\nThink of situations that apply to you and work from there.\n\nIf it is something you want to do but it is not a good time for you just say something like...\n\nIt's not a good time for me right now can I get this back to you within the hour? (If desperate most people will say yes)\n\nI am on a deadline for Mr. X and if you need these copies I can do them for you but you may not get them until late afternoon. (I find most lazy people don't want to wait that long and miraculously figure out how to use the copier themselves if they think they have to wait. :D)\n\nAnyway I am sorry this is so long and I hope this helped some.


This new legislation is mentioned in a yahoo story about people defaulting and being late on payments.\nMy question is how much more can I expect minimum payments to be?

A quick Yahoo search came up with this.\n\nUnder pressure from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (which regulates national banks), the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision, some national banks will soon be increasing minimum monthly credit card payments so they are closer to 4% rather than the current average of around 2%. Some major banks have already increased the minimum payments and others are about to follow suit.\n\nTherefore, if you have a $5000 balance, you used to have a minimum payment of $100.  Now it's increased to $200.

Conditions include Heart, Ulcerative colitis; \ndepression.

Very very hard, not only in Ohio but any state for that matter.  Of course it is always a matter of money, which in your case can become totally out unless you have millions.  Contact Blue Cross/Blue Shield or simiar in Ohio for guidance and more IMPORTANT contact your state Department of Health.  In most states there is a set up that provides "private" health insurance through a pool for people that have conditions not acceptable through the regular companies....of course its expensive.  In most cases they are set up by a pool of health insurance companies.  For example Texas has that set up.


What started the feud between slipknot and fred durst?

I don't know slipknot most probably told durst that caps have a peak to stop the sun from getting on your face so maybe he should stop wearing them backwards.  He most probably got the shits with them then and ripped them off about the stupid masks they wear, to cover up their faces(because they were all geeks at school and they don't want people to really know who they are). and then that started the slanging match.


My Love will get sooooooooo upset at almost ANY decision I make, albeit some are not the best, i don't feel she has the ?right? to question/criticize/repremand me for (damn near) every decision i make????

You need to talk. Women are more emotional, we wanted to be a big part of your life. Not only in your everyday life but most specially during the decision making time. You might think that she's just your girlfriend and just a flower on the wall, or someone to show to your friends. Women wanted to feel special, like we are a big part of your life. Someone you can talk to and discuss with when you have to make a decision.


I have this bf his name is Adam and im really sure im in love, but everyone tells me its just puppy love. Does anyone else believe that you can find love at 14. Tell me please.

I suppose it is possible to find love at 14.  Girls were married at that (your) age, in our culture and other cultures as well along time ago.  So, they had to grow up really fast.  Growing up is not as great as it might seem to kids.\n\nThe better question is WHY do you want to rush things?  You are only 14, and have the Blessing of being a child for a while longer.  Enjoy the simple things that being a kid offers, and save the Complexities that come from love, and adult life for later.  \n\nYou will be an adult soon enough.  Trust me, (even though you won't listen anyways), but trust me, you will have PLENTY of time to have Grown-Up love in your life.  \n\nStay being a kid, and wait to be an adult until uh,, when you actually are an adult.\n\nI wish I were your age, just so I could quit worrying about all the grown-up decisions I have to make EVERY day.

I'm looking for an online nanny "college"

i went out with a nany she went to nanny school i dont think you can get a license online i believe you have to go to school for it


well i just turned 16 and im with the love of my life he's my first love and i want it to last forever but my mom tells me it's just like water in cupped hands it will fade away is that true?

dont listen to what your mother says i been with the same guy for 7 years. we started dating when i was 15, and we have a child together. if you bith love each other that much and want the realtionship to last then it will....


i dated this guy for two years then we broke up last yr since he was going off to college and didn't want to neglect me while he was there and i was still stuck at high school. We both knew that we still loved each other. We'll finally after a year i am dating this new guy he has waited a yr to date me. but the thing is i still very much love my ex who now has a girlfriend himself. but he still loves me. what do i do? next yr we'll be at the same college together and hanging out. do i forget our love and what we had together and stay with the guy that i just like or what?

Date the dude you like still.  This will lead you into a new direction in your life.  You are young, experiencing all you can is what life is all about.  If the dude you love will be hanging out with you then leave it at that.  After all being just friends is achievable.  Maybe that is why you love the one away at college, you miss his friendship.


What is the  NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission?

To put simply, they regulate the taxi and limo business in NYC. They make sure that all yellow taxis have a medallion(business lisence) and things like that.


But do not understand that someone who is gentle and thoughtful can also get hurt very easy when his feeling are not returned or betrayed by the one he trusts ?...and also being sensitive thus not mean being weak, it is just a way how someone relates with others and his perception of the distinction between right and wrong, his responsibility to someone he cares about and harm that he can cause to others…Has nothing to do with acting like a wimp in need of attention who just wants a someone to unload the responsibility for himself on her…What do you think ???

What most women are really saying is they want a man that is sensitive to her needs.  A woman LOVES  man that can read her especially when she is not an open book.  If she isn't giving back, then keep her waiting.  She doesn't deserve your attention if she isnt willing to meet you half way.


Exercise. Do not let people define who you are. Do not use words like a "pig" when referring to yourself, if you do you'll become that pig. Look in the mirror and say "I have beautiful eyes". Build your own self esteem, the world is not going to do it for you, especially when you do not fit in what is consider beautiful. So you have to build up yourself. Walk around with your head held high. Show confidence and believe.


won't things just eventually balance themselves out? Isn't this a lot simpler than building a huge wall around America?

I am Mexican and I lived in the US, but I was not illegal. Most illegal immigrants have a bad way of life and for them the US is the only opportunity to have a better life. I know that it is illegal and wrong, but for most of them, life did get better and it makes me feel good because I HATE seeing anything suffer. The reason why illegals go to the US is that they see the American way of life, and they wish they had such a good quality of life, and unfortunately, in Mexico, many people have a bad quality of life.


I'm bored and doing laundry...got any entertaining ideas? heck even if you don't answer with something random and i'll just have to be entertained that way.

Top 30 Chuck Norris facts. \n\n1. Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. \n\n2. When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you. \n\n3. Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard. \n\n4. Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull. \n\n5. Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement. \n\n6. Chuck Norris's girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't fuck with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf. \n\n\nHope this helped.

im a begginier and i want to start this wonderful sport

Start slow! That is the first thing. Condition your muscles to get used to this activity you are about to start. Get out and ride, get on a bike! Start slow, maybe you can only do a couple miles, maybe you can do 15. Don't sprint your practices, this is a distance race, you won't sprint until the end.\n\nAlso, do some hill workouts on days you feel good for it. They are intense, and will help you a lot in the races to more efficiently use energy that you have for that final sprint if needed.\n\n-Tom


their music is just awesome! does anyone know any similar bands?

I can't exactly say if they are similar, but you may try to listen to "Amorphis", " Apocalyptica", " Children Of Bodom", "Nightwish", "Rhapsody", "Sentenced", "Sirenia".\n\nI hope you'll find something for your taste of music :)


looking into buying rental units.  what exactly does the estimated gross income based on?  is it beyond mortgage payment or annual rental income only?

Gross income is simply the amount you receive from renters.  If someone is trying to sell you rental property based on estimated gross income - BEWARE- You want to focus on NET INCOME - the amount you have left after expenses.

How do we know that the color we are seeing is actually the color that you are seeing? From when we were little, we have been taught that a specific color is that color no matter what. So, how do we know?

We don't know that your subjective experience of the color green is the same thing as my subjective experience, anymore than we can know if your experience of the taste salty is the same as mine.  What we can know is that, if we were to show pictures of the same object to a number of people, and asked them to identify its color, there would  be a great deal of agreement in the answers.  But it would not be 100%, because one person might consider a color between red and orange to be red, another would call it orange.  It's interesting to me, as someone who is red-green colorblind, to see people, usually ones with normal color vision, insist that there are rigid definitions of colors.  Like, they will insist that the colors of the rainbow are, precisely, red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet. (Roy-G-Biv, the physical science teachers call it.)\nIn fact, the potential frequencies of visible light, in other words the colors of the light, vary continuously from just above infrared to just below ultraviolet; there is no hard and fast definition of "yellow". And different cultures divide up that spectrum differently.\n\nGetting back to your question, I suppose scientists could do experiments with the chemical receptors that detect color in light.  People with normal color vision have three different kind of receptors, which are sensitive to three different colors of light.  (I only have two kinds of color receptors.)  It is the levels of excitation of each type of receptor that determines what color is being perceived.  That is why we can model any given color by mixing together just three colors, as in a TV set.  Scientist could probably determine if chemically these receptors were the same in various individuals; for all I know that research may have already been done.

Now what/ can I appeal/  retaliation and Harrass. inhabil. I had a really strong case that wasn't even heard\n I know I can sue and plan to. Is there anything I can do to buy more time NOW to find a place and/or appeal? My LL has broken over 10 Civil codes and I had proof of retaliation, harrass. and inhabil. I was so prepared but the Judge had no interest in even hearing me and sided w/ Lanlord who had absolutely no case. It was as if I wasn'tthere by going PRO_PER. I have a 3 year old and am not prepared financially to move in 5 days. I'm freakn. My case was so strong I didn't prepare for this result.Why do we have civil Codes if Judges can just choose to ignore them completely and get away w/ it? My LL lawyer didn't even present a case. didn't even try to say I was a bad tenant, Just said I didn't pay last 2 months so they want me out. When in fact he refused rent and I had a lease, written proof of retaliation a

get someone you trust to watch the child on the day you are to be out and don't leave until you are arrested. sounds nuts i know, but if you believe you are in the right then the courts need to see it. don't be bullied because you are a single mom. defend yourself and your 'rights' as you would defend your child and his/her 'rights'. have some of your friends watch the house and once you are arrested your friends trash the place. it will end up costing the l.l. more than the 2 or3 months rent he lost.\n\nmy ex's x-wife did this (not leaving) and ended staying free for 6 months (and a couple of court datees), but in that time she was able to save enough for down payment on a house.

disrespected if we show a little leg or a little cleavage from time to time...you think our bodies are art right...you should know a lot of us would wear less and show more if we were still respected while wearing something sexy...there is a time and place for every thing but i'll be d*a*m*n*e*d if i cant wear a short skirt in the summer!

I know I am a woman but I have to agree.  I love dressing sexy.  But every time I let a little leg or a little cleavage show I feel like guys ogle me.  In fact, I went to a party this weekend.  It was a theme party and I dressed really sexy.  There were three guys maybe three feet away from me and I heard them say, "She needs to be the bartender she has such nice tits."  And they proceeded to talk about my boobs.  I said something to them of course but why should I be made to feel this way about my body?  Women are beautiful and it's a shame we can't be more respected for our bodies.  I'm not saying we should be able to go naked everywhere, but I'm with you, I want to be able to wear a short skirt in the summer without some guy trying to see what kind of panties I am wearing.


Do you think the lions have taken the right steps to improvement or are they setting up fans like myself for another disappointing year. If so what would you do to improve the team?

Well for starters don't listen to that idiot above me  hollisterdude57'. He's been asnwer all the questions like this. And all he talks about is CHuck Norris. \n\nALLEN PARK, Michigan (Ticker) - Coach Rod Marinelli watched Shaun King have some success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now he's hoping King can do the same for the Detroit Lions. \n\nKing, who did not play at all last season after spending 2004 as a backup with the Arizona Cardinals, signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Friday. \n\nIn Detroit, King will compete with Dan Orlovsky for the backup job to Joey Harrington. \n\nThe Detroit Lions now head into Phase Three of the rebuilding process. Having solidified the coaching staff and the new aggressive philosophy, they now have to weed through their 53-man roster and look for three types of players: playmakers, role-players and dead weight. \n\nOf course I think it may take a couple of years for anything be to be noticed.

Would you vote for President Bush again?

YES AT LEAST HE HAS THE GUTS TO FIGHT OUR ENEMY


Someone asked me this earlier tonight..and itmade me really wonder too. I know cars are pretty much insulated with their tyres.

Yes,...or if it hits a tree it can split it down the middle, and should you be in it's path it will kill you more often than not; though, I have read that a few people have been hit more than once and survived; however, their clothing, shoes, etc. were burned.  For the people fortunate enough to have survived a lightening strike,... seems it just wasn't there time to die,...pass on,..meet their maker,...!  Lightening is facinating to watch, but do so from a safe place.  Inside a car is safe because, as you stated, the "rubber" tires provide insulation.\nVery powerful, this thing called lightening!

Where to take  ur boyfriend when things arent going to good but u wana get things back on track and what are some of the things we chould do together

Essential to any relationship is the ability to communicate to each other.  If you are on bad terms with your boyfriend and you care enough for her to try, your best bet is to talk to him about what is going on between the two of you. You have to get things resolved, one way or another or you will find yourself having a break-up and resolving things then or worst, an unresolved break up (bad break up); this means that you won't get closure at all. \nWhen you finally get things settled, whether or not you are having some space, you should do something like inviting him to your house and baking for him.  Or surprise him with a game that you both could play that will keep him enthralled, excited, and anxious to see the next step (a game that involves meeting at restaurants, and could end with a kiss or whatever - something you plan).  On the other hand, if you take the initiative and he decides to proceed by being romantic, it's fine too.\n\nRestaurant after the talk.  Before the talk, I believe you should do it away from prying eyes - problems should not be resolved in public where if there are any tears, it increases the akwardness.


The Great Chain of Being \nthe theory that living things were divinely created and exist in an infinite and continuous series of forms, each one grading into the next, from simple to complex.  This view goes back to the ancient Greeks and was popular from the Middle Ages through the 18th century in Europe.\n\nhttp://anthro.palomar.edu/evolve/evolve_2.htm

Christian Science was an attempt by Mary Baker Eddy.  However, I think that the rational world and religion don't have a common base at the present.  Maybe someday rationality and a sense of the deeper, spiritual side of humanity will find a common home. Spirituality and religion are not the same, however. Religion plus Science: no.  Spirituality plus Science: yes. I think the Great Chain of Being describes the potential, rather than the actual.  Everything is possible, every kind of being, but only some have been realized.  \nI see where you're going.  Is this an alternative to "Intelligent Design?"  Perhaps.  Evolution is real in the physical, material sense.  TGCOB makes sense on another level, that of alternate realities.  \nStay with it. I like where you're going.

tips and technique.. we want to improve our kissing session.and just enjoy.. please tell the details..tnx alot.

slow, soft and easy.........If you are kissing now...I think you can figure it out on your own.


I brush my Aligners and my teeth at least three times a day. But when I put them into the box and wait 30 minutes, they begin to smell. Have you a tip, what do you against it?

Soak them in a denture cleaner in addition to what you are doing and hope and pray that 2 weeks past fast so you can get your new pair.


nowadays i saw every one is selfish and want to avail every opportunity with someone else. Can we change the stragety of this world and the people whose thoughts are always selfish.

You can't change other people, especially if they don't wanna be changed. Good people are out there, and true unconditional love DOES exist, but nowadays people are really selfish and out for themselves.


3-5 for breakfast, Lunch, Dinner? work? How much do you think I could lose in one month?

Nope, I can guarantee that you will gain back any initial weight you might lose.  Your body will eventually go into starvation mode (because you will not eat nearly enough calories) and start storing every calorie as fat.  Then, when you go back to eating normally, your body will still store most calories as fat because it is still afraid of not getting enough food...and then you gain.  Plus, you are unlikely to be able to stick to this for one month because you will get sick of eating the same thing every day.  Also, you will not be getting enough nutrients.  Not to mention the fact that calories provide you with your daily energy and so if you don't eat enough, you will be exhausted all the time.  In researching this, I came across this story from a 2004 study:\n\n"A 51 year old patient complained of a 15 lb weight gain over the last year despite beginning a strenuous triathlon and marathon training program (2 hours per day, 5-6 days per week). A 3 day diet analysis estimated a daily intake of only 1000-1200 Calories. An indirect calorimetry revealed a resting metabolic rate of 950 Calories (28% below predicted for age, height, weight, and gender). After medications and medical conditions such as hypothyroidism and diabetes where ruled out, the final diagnosis was over-training and undereating."\n\nDon't do this to yourself!


Do you admire professional repossession agents or dislike them altogether?  If you are for them and like what they do, would you still like them "if" they repo'd something of yours, such as - your car?

It's just a job.. Just like telemarketers... no one will admit to being one cause everyone hates telemarketers. You dont have to like what you do for a living as long as it puts food on the table for your family then it is a good thing.\nI would not appreciate it if they repo'd my car (since it is payed off.. not that they would want it since it is so old) but if I was behind in my payments I would kinda expect it.. nothing in life is free and you cant live on credit.


Abortion is murder! Innonecnt lives! but....many of the same people have no interest in programs that help the parent(s) of the children in severly depressed economic situations.

Rewrite:\n\nArgument still stands for all to read.\n\n#1 The brain and heart don't start beating until way after the time for an abortion.  So technically, it's not a life yet.\n\n#2 60% of all children within the system never get adopted.  I'm sure if the number was much better a lot of people might consider it a real alternative.\n\nThey prolifers do it because it's an ideology thing.  They don't actually want to adopt the kids or help out the poor/underprivileged people.  It's much easier for them to jus preach about what they believe is right.  That way, on Sunday then can think back on all the times they've tried to spread the word of God - and not on how many times they've actually tried to live by it.\n\nYou show me a good person who gives himself honestly to his fellow man for the good of everyone but himself, and I'll show you someone who wouldn't call himself a religious person.


I'm like really slow and in track we run for like 12 min and it feels like hell!! any tips??

Hey! I am in track as well. Sure, I am kinda fast...but not super fast. \nIf I were you I would stay after practice and do more running. Be sure to drink lots of aqua as well! Even if your sides hurt keep running. That way you will build endurance. \nI sure hope you improve.


I'm looking estimate price for repair "Transmission" for Ford Explorer Sport 1999.

The mechanic has to pull the transmission, then take it apart, in order to find the problem with it..You will be charged with the labor, even if you decide not to have it fixed..But, your best bet, would be to have it fixed, while all the parts are checked anyway..It probably will cost between eight hundred and fifteen hundred dollars..You need to make a decision, if it is worth fixing, or to buy another vehicle..Good Luck..

I have a phobia of needles in that I feel faint whenever the subject of veins, particularly blood tests, etc are mentioned, never mind when I actually have to go near a needle! Is there any way for me to feel more relaxed because in actual fact I only find the sensation mildly painful really.

Let your doctor/dentist/whoever know before hand...I am terrified of needles recently i've had several for tooth fillings, a blood test and a jab... I'm always completely honest with the person administering the deed, explaining that I am terrified... The medical staff are experienced enough to ensure that its as gentle and pain free as possible...They'll monitor you, explain whats happening, get you to lay down if you are more comfortable there etc....

And is it possible to research a corporation's liabilities--like debts, liens, etc. What if the corporation is no longer registered as such--is it still a corporation?

You can buy a corporation in many different ways.  \n\nThe simplest way to explain this is to build up the amount of stock you own of that company, if it is publicly offering stock.  After you own more than 50% of the stock of the company, usually you will be able to make all of the decisions of the company.  Thus, you have bought the corporation.\n\nAlso, you can be another corporation that offers a deal to the corporation you want to "buy" by offering a merger.  This way, your company will merge with the other company at their own will.  The two corporations are normally friendly to one another.  You haven't really bought the other corporation, but the two corporations are now working as one.\n\nYou can also have a friendly takeover.  This is when another company actually buys a lot of a corporation's stock, but this buying is agreed upon.  After a while, one company owns the other.\n\nThere's another way of buying a corporation which is called a hostile takeover.  Basically, you and others from one corporation decide to buy stock from another corporation.  After you own a large amount of stock of the other corporation, you have a large say over what the company does (even if you don't have over 50% of the corporation's stock), even if the company doesn't like it.  One thing you can do is called "greenmail".  Basically, you tell the other company that you won't try to buy them, but what you do is sell the stock you have of their company at a very high price back to them, so you get profit from buying and selling their stock.  Normally, companies can be so fearful that another company is going to buy them that they'll pay you the higher price of stock you are selling back.\n\nHowever, there are tons of strategies for preventing hostile takeovers, and some people dedicate their careers to this sort of job.\n\nNow to answer your subquestions.  It isn't really possible to research everything about a corporation, and some corporations try to be more transparent than others (that is, they tell you more about their thoughts and debts and so on).  And a corporation that isn't registered as such is no longer a corporation.


this aint right, i feel discriminated, they have no clue what our latino families are in for.. do they know that without us, there will be no hard workin men? incase u didnt notice, latinos ae really WILLIN 2 suffer just 2 get a lil paycheck each month. you dont see americans doign what we do, and once they supposedly do get us all out of here, they will regret it because we move the nation forward, we do jobs that not most people do. i feel like discrimination against blacks is coming again, but not towards african americans but to all latinos. us latinos DO want a better life here in america, thats what we come for. but they cant just single us out, why dont they do this 2 any other races i ask myself? i think that the idea of helpin an immigrant, makes u a crminal is totally stupid, and people who do vote YES, u oght 2 be ashamed...

I"m doing a debate, and my job is to prove that advertising doesn't affect obesity. And that they shouldn't ban advertisement or limit it. So if anyone has any information on this kind of thing please let me know.

I'll just give you one for-instance.\nLook at advertising aimed at children--sugary cereals for instance. (I read the label on one the other day. The first four ingrediants were: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Wheat and Honey--3 out of four of those are types of sugar!) The commercials make this cereal very appealing to children, with bright colors and favorite cartoon characters and free (junky) gifts in the box.  Kids beg mom for cereal, mom buys cereal, kids eat it, get hooked on sugar.\nSame thing with fast food.  Free toys, usually tied into a kids' tv series or movie, cool playgrounds.  Kids want the free toy, want to play in the playground.  But the meals offered with the toys are full of fat, and few parents chose the option of milk or juice; they take the soda.  The five minutes the kids spend running around doesn't begin to use up the calories in their "happy" meal. \nWhen I was little, we didn't even HAVE a Mcdonald's in our town (now we have 3).  We had to drive to another town to have it. It was a HUGE treat and I got it maybe once a month. Now there are fast food restaurants everywhere and kids go all the time--more than once a week if not every day.\nAnd of course the whole video game industry-xbox, play station, etc, encourages children to stay inside and sit still instead of burning off some of those fast-food calories playing outside.\nI won't even get into all the fear spawned by media which makes parents think there are child molesters everywhere and better to have the kid inside and visible than outside in the fresh air.\nWhew.  \nLots of ranting like this on my blog.\n(spell check is down, sorry for any errors.)


I need some facts on how much is too much, and what exactly would make a person be considered sexually overactive.

when you start to ask questions like this...that's how you know


My friend (good friend, but not best friend) is getting married in May and his fiance (who I've hung out with before but don't know that well) is having her wedding shower next month. My friend said he wants me to go, but I don't want to because I won't know anybody else there at all, except my friend's fiance, so it will be really uncomfortable. Someone recommended that I just buy her a gift off her registry then stop by her house to hang out and give it to her. What do you guys think I should do?

Go to the shower.  You may meet some fun people that you can party with at the wedding.  If you find that it is really boring at the shower just say that you have to leave a little early and excuse yourself.  This way your friend is happy and you may have some new friends at the wedding.  Have fun!


Where did saying "how come" instead of "why" come from?  I'm from Va and I don't ever remember hearing it but, here in AZ, my boyfriend, his daughter, I hear it on TV now!  Where did it come from and why is it accepted?  I mean, it's supposed to be "why did you do that?" instead of "how come you did that?"  Right???

Technically yes,you are correct. However there are many words that have slang words or phrases also depending on where you live.  For example: Y'all is you all; A bubbler is a water fountain;a soda is a pop or sometimes a soda pop!  To each his own!

Probably disposing because you can get charged with something like "getting rid of evidence"...


What can i say do or act to let her know \nand if I do will she come talk to me ...

For God's sake! Talk to her! Simple thing- sometimes hard to do, but most girls don't have a clue if you suffer in silence. Find out what her interests are so you have a safe topic to discuss and then have a conversation. Don't be a show-off or try to impress her with what you've got or who you know. Make it all about her and you're sure to get her interested. Good luck!


I have been with my husband 5 years married for 1 (6 total) have 2 children together. He hasant worked for more than 1 1/2 years total in 6 years. I have been working for one year (2 jobs) paying the bills. I have told him I love him no matter what but I need his financial help. Recently we got into a argument he overheard me complaining that he took the car and was gone all day on my day off without asking me if I wanted to go anywhere. He said my communication was terrible and I should have asked if I wanted to go somewhere. I did not know he was leaving for the day (so I couldnt ask). He said I dont satify his needs for sex and more housecleaning  and if his needs dont get met we should discuss "other arrangements"! He said there was no point in us both being miserable. I cook, I work, I go to school, I try to support him. He says I am materialstic, and messy,and should initiate sex more! Should I divorce him? We have kids!I am so hurt I cant feel the love for him anymore.

wow, that guy sounds like a very sexist pig. first of all, he shouldn't care about sex. he should be worried about overworking you. he needs to get his lazy @ss off the couch and get a f*cking job. or at least cook a meal and clean up once in a while. what you need to do is divorce him, take your children and, as a personal favor to me if for no other reason, leave. take the house, the car, the dog, and make him pay child support. i'm not trying to be mean, but alot of people don't grasp the meaning of life and living it until they're forced to do so. if you need to talk to someone neutral, you can email me or get me on yahoo messenger at poetic_disturbulance@yahoo.com. be strong and get rid of him.


would you say something or mind your own business

i would mind my own business UNLESS the kid was getting a beating. I would have to interfer then.


Where can I find a video of "The Impossible Return"? The Cleveland Indians vs. Seattle Mariners 08/05/01 -- I looked all over the place on mlb.com but they don't have it... Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure, but I think ESPN might have that. I remember that as soon as that game was over, they called it an "instant classic" and re-played it on espnclassic.


I'm a saudi who graduated from the states in 94, and thinking of going back for vacation for the first time since graduating, and was woundereing how it would be

I think the government is corrupt and supports terrorist but I don't blame the people in general. The exact same thing can be said of america. I'm no more responsible for nor do I support my countries actions any more than most of the saudi citizens. So in other words come on over brother.


Im having real problem with some of my teachers in my high school!

Try asking your teacher for a one on one conference. Ask what your teacher's expectation are of you, and let the teacher know your expectation of him/her. Then come to some consensus of how you two are gonna to work together. Because, it is your education.
