if all sins are forgiven by the loving jesus, and that forgiveness still means they go to heaven..that means sinning is without consequences...i was always taught that the right punishment can teach the sinner to become a better person.\n\nhow does that work for christians? how do they become a better person after they comitted a sin?

sin is a stupid concept created by ignorant peasant men who wrote this archaic fascist book called the bible, if you Muslims,Christians and the like dropped your prehistoric notions and adapted your belief to one of spirituality, which embraces all people in the love of god, then you would realise that there is no such thing as sin. god is love, not judgement or punishment, i am god,you are god,we are all god, and its only these books and there outdated forms of control which are destroying any hope of us all living in peace in this planet. God does not put us on Earth in order to be judged, if that was so true, then Christians and Muslims wouldn't behave the way they do then use their faith to justify there actions of hate and murder. GOD IS LOVE NOT HATE!.


I think a lot of people just view hippies as lazy, weird, drugged up people. Hippies are fun and eccentric, the world would be a better place if there were more hippies!


I would welcome your open and honest opinions.  No judgement here. I am willing to hear all sides.


UFC-60  The week before the fight, alot of people told me over and over the Gracie would submit Hughes, and the fight would be over.  Gracie did not look like he was even in the same class as Hughes.  At no time during the fight did it seem that Gracie had the chance to submit matt.  Hugned rolled on top of gracie and proceeded to pound Gracie's head in.  I wish the ref would have not stopped the fight, so hughes could have beat him some more, then rolled him over and submit the Brazillian Champ. Gracie could not Beat Hughes if they fought 10 more times.  Now I hope we do not have to hear anymore about how dominant Gracie Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is.  Gracie would not shut up about Gracie Martial Arts, saying over and over that his art is the best and he could submit anyone.  It was gracie that was absolutley DOMINATED by Matt Hughes.  Screw brazillian Martial Arts. USA USA USA USA USA!

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu changed the way we trained for fighting in the US.  If you pick up a copy of the first UFC you'll see that Shamrock, who was at the time a champion Japanese shoot fighter, was the only fighter prepared to fight on the ground besides Gracie.  Royce shut all of his opponents down within minutes because of that advantage.  Fighters like Matt Hughes are as rounded as they are because of that Gracie influence.  They've stepped up their ground skills to be able to survive on the mat.  But that's also created a need for ground fighters to step up their striking skills as well.  You probably noticed that Royce looked a little more prepared to strike on his feet than he has been in previous matches.\n\nThe Huges vs Gracie fight was disappointing, though.  If you've ever trained in BJJ you'd know that Royce made an amateur mistake when he gave up his back to Matt.  People have brought up that he is past his prime, but he didn't lose because he wasn't physically prepared.  He lost because of a critical error that gave Hughes and incredible position.\n\nI'd like to see a rematch.  I'm not saying that Royce would win.  I would just rather see him lose a better fight than that.


i have paul lo duca on my fantasy baseball team and there are certain days he does not catch...does anyone know what pitchers he does not catch for?

Catchers usually catch only 4-5 days a week.  Look for their stats, you will find that most of them only have about 350-500 at-bats per year, even they don't go to DL.  La Duca is actually one of the most durable catchers.\n\nAs far as I know none of Mets' pitchers has any preference about catchers, so the best way to tell his schedule is to see if he has catched 3-4 consecutive days.  Or you can check Mets lineup 10 minutes before the game starts.

Okay I have been going with this boy for 1 year and a half. We broke up because he cheated on me and got the girl(whicj is his ex girlfreind) pregnant. So we stop talking for about 2 months and then he called me. We have been talking for the last month and now all of a sudden he acts as if we are together. I take him to work everyday and now he expects to to treat as my man and do things for him. But why should I help him when he can not even help me out. I still love and although he has hurt me we have also had some good time together. We got into it this morning and know I really ant to leave him alone but I still love and what to be with him. What should I do?

let him find his own way to work --- no wonder he assumes he's your man ---he got another girl pregnant and he's working on getting you back into his life---what a player ! Stop catering to him --- he don't deserve it ---respect has to be earned--- go for a guy that isn't a player --- the hunt is well worth it!


My grandma is making it a newspaper-like cake because of my recent reporting internship. It is the perfect set-up for her to write something gay, which is not something I want to deal with. What's something funny to put for the headline? 10 points to funniest ****. Some things we thought up are "Watti Ta" from Pootie Tang or just simply "Keg Stand". Or "Intern Arrested," but see, that's a little too fruity. That's the kind of crap she'd put?

He told me that he wouldn't pick his kids up cause he didn't want me to go out and meet someone new....even though I have not been out in the last 4 years...HELP!!!

file for child support immediately and use the money to get a babysitter! he's trying to leave you but still control your life, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN, find another way to go out, ask your parents to babysit, trade babysitting with other mothers, you watch theirs they watch yours, stuff like that. once he figures out that his idiot tactics aren't stopping you from moving on he'll get over it. also make it clear to him how absolutely absurd the whole thing is! he's willing to desert his kids, his flesh and blood just to keep you from dating??? its ridiculous and DO NOT STAND FOR IT! you have a right to your life and it sounds like he's run yours for long enough, stand up for yourself. he's not the only one that can watch the kids while you go out. once you put a stop to this silliness and show him he can't run you anymore he'll stop, not to mention being totally stunned that you finally stood up to him! if someone was doing that to me i'd find a date this weekend, right now, even if it was a date i didn't really want i'd go just to prove my point!!

It doesn't hurt all the time just when I am drinking and eating. And when it does hurt it isn't that bad. I got my cavity filled 3 days ago.

I am a dentist.\n\nYes.  This can be normal.  The absence of spontaneous pain, especially three days after treatment, is generally an encouraging sign that the tooth will get better.\n\nPlacement of a filling requires drilling on the tooth.  Drilling on the tooth is a traumatic experience to pulp of the tooth.  In response, the pulp becomes inflamed.  The pulp of your tooth is like any other area of your body: when injured, inflammatory mediators are released which potentiate the activity of the nerves in the area--in the case of your dental pulp, there are only two types of nerves, both of which transmit to the brain all stimuli as pain.  Apply cold to the tooth, and these nerves are going to more readily transmit "pain" to your brain.\n\nWhen the inflammation goes away after a few days, the cold-sensitivity will go away.  Keep in mind, however, that the situation could get worse, and that your tooth could start hurting spontaneously.  If that happens, then the nerve may be dying.


some1 asked to me meet her and said lets not meet in the ghetto.what does that mean?\n\nand i just wanna know watz the best thing 2 say when some1 sayz a word u dont know the meaning of??

What you should say is "what do you mean?" The word "ghetto" is used differently by different people. It means something different to older people that it does to many young people and I'm not sure if all young people have any idea what it means at all. If you are not sure where your friend wants to meet, seek clarification. \n\nIf you want to enlarge your vocabulary and possibly know more about the word "ghetto" than your friend, the Wikipedia article gives a pretty good insight into the origin and various uses of this word.


This question is not intended as an insult in any war shape or form, honest. I truly am curious and would like an answer to this question.\n\nI mean, fan fiction is becoming increasingly popular I realize, as fans of various television series write stories about their favorite programs and the characters in them.\n\nBut, honestly as humble as I can put it, why exactly do people do this? It would be different if the stories were a part of the cannon storyline, but mostly they are not. Fan Fiction is usually not in sync with the cannon storyline of the show, and the storyboard writers of the original show oft-times would not use the ideas found in some of these fan-fiction stories. Sometimes a lot of unusual sexual behavior is created in these fan stories, sometimes placing the characters in situations that would be absolutely unthinkable and intolerable in the cannon storyline.\n\nSo, really, why do people read and write fan fiction? It's not really part of the series, is it?

Have you ever read a book or watched a show and wished the writers would make something different happen in the storyline?  It doesn't mean that you don't like what DOES happen in the real storyline, but that another way would be cool too.  That is what fan fiction is all about.  If you write fan fiction you can make things happen that would never happen.  It's not all about sex but it is often non-cannon.  \n\nIt's also a way for a movie or book to live on.  Take Harry Potter for instance.  There is one more book left.  After that the Potterphiles will be done (especially once all the tie-in movies have been made)  Fan fiction is a way to tell stories with great characters beyond the imagination of just the writer.  People will continue to write Potter fan fiction way beyond the publishing of the last book.  It just means there are more stories to tell.  \n\nNot all of it is good, but I have read some fan fiction written by teenagers who have very well developed writing styles.  Writing fan fiction hones the creative and written talents of these kids.  It certainly can't hurt! :)\n\nHope this gives you some kind of explanation.


I just wonder if sea salt provides a person's body with any nutrients? Is it good or bad for you?

Sea salt is considered by some to be a healthier alternative to table salt, since it lacks artificial chemicals used in processing. Despite the iodine content of seawater, however, sea salt typically does not contain as much of the essential nutrient iodine as does iodized table salt. However, iodized sea salt is available. Diets with little seafood (e.g., ocean fish and shellfish) should include some source of iodine, and this is customarily supplied via iodized salt.


I have ovre 1,500,000 k.b.s in my old compressed files?

If you have a CD or DVD burner and Windows XP, you can just drag and drop them onto your CD/DVD drive and then burn them that way.  If you don't have XP, you'll probably need a third party program like Nero to create a data CD or DVD.\n\nIf you're using CDs, you'll need 2 (each holds 650 MB, and you have 1500 MB, if I'm reading your numbers above correctly).  If you're using a DVD, you only need one - they hold 4.7 GB, although there are other DVDs (dual layer, double sided, etc.) that will hold more than 4.7 GB.


I'm getting a pair of trail running shoes to prevent too much wear on my road running shoes. I have a neutral foor type, I don't over or underpronate, and stability shoes, shoes that are made for those types of feet (most athletic shoes it seems) hurt my feet and take my concentration away from my breathing and running. \n\nI love the Asics gel cumulus VII shoes I have, they are a perfect fit with heavy cushioning in the heel and wide flexible forefoot, but not built for stabilizing. \n\nAre there trail shoes out there similar to these shoes in this regard? I'm having a hard time getting a fit.

Check out what they have available at www.mec.com . They probably have what you're looking for. They always do.


I usually have some panic attacks, & feel anxious & my heart just beats too fast on some types of grass & especially on a bit higher doses. I dunno why but I'm nervous even before starting to smoke. & after using, some bad thoughts crosses my mind & I feel somewhat feared. I have to add that this does not happen all the time but often on higher doses. & the thing most bothering me is feeling my heart beating fast & hard that i could feel it in my head. can anyone please help me out?

First off, I know exactly what you mean!  This happens to me as well.  I actually, take a tranq to reduce the anxious feelings.  For you and these will sound goofy.  After smoking and u feel those feelings, go sit on the toilet to attempt taking a crap.  The muscles used help relax you.  A doctor recommended this, not something I made up for laughs.  Also, breathing in deeply through the nose like ur smelling a rose and out through your mouth will help.  Do it until you stop your heart from racing...which it is not.  You are just hyperventilating.  Try taking the weed a diferent way besides smoking it ciggy style...sometimes if they are rolled too tight it foces you to take in a deeper breath and works towards hyperventilating.  Try a bong or brownies.

i have cloned fungal gene in the said plasmid and now i want to express protein. can i use this plasmid for overexpression. what precautions are needed  for this?

Yes, you can use it for over expression.  Make sure your plasmid has the proper self cloning sequences, one plasmid per cell won't do you much good.  \n\nPrecautions?  \n\nMake sure your gene is pure, as in not having anything that might ruin your experiment. Test culture your target bacterium first to weed out the non functionals and then cultivate the good ones, the ones that produce your targe protein.  You might need to assay for this stuff though, unless there's one of the specialized agars that will detect your target protein.

We lived by a girl who had given birth to a baby girl. The hospital sent her home in 24 hours with the new born. I was going to bed when she came banging and screaming at our door. I opened it and she was screaming, " my baby! my babys not breathing ! ".She shoved the baby into my arms and went into a total panic.My friends were over and we all began to franticly pray and called 911. The babys face was black from not breathing. The ambulance took 30 minutes to get there. The baby convulsed and collapsed in my arms as soon as I opened the door to the mother. We prayed and cried,begging Jesus to save her.I was on the phone with the 911 operator-After 30 minutes of praying and a limp baby I had to tell the operator she was still not breathing.I was in total shock with a dead baby on my kitchen counter. Then I heard the voice of Jesus say to me. " pray this-Jesus, Son Of David...have mercy on me ". I did and the baby suddenly sneezed 3 timez and opened her eyes.She now is perfectly well.

I think the power of prayer is tremendous!\nI myself had a very similar experience!\n18 years ago May 9,1988 at 1:32 pm I had been doing laundry and my three yr old daughter kept insisting I stop what I was doing and make her lunch.Finally I said ok.I made her a sandwich and a cup of juice.I had them in my hand and I heard the most ungodly sound coming from the living room.My newborn son was in there in his baby basket.I step around into the entry and I saw him,his face was a bluish redish black .his eyes were starring upward and white foam was coming out of his mouth.I knew it was crib death and did not know what to do.within seconds I was screaming and begging God not to take my baby from me. before he was born,my dad had bought several items for the baby.this included a set with comb brush etc and there was an ear syringe in it.It was as though I was standing in a corner watching all this take place.I had Ben in my arms running to the bedroom and I saw myself get that ear syringe and suctioned out his mouth and then again.Then I blew into his face.He screamed loud as he caught his breath.I called a neighbor,and my voice was gone she barely could make out what I was trying to say.When I said the baby's dying she knew then it was me.We lived 70 miles from the doctor.She drove us to the doctor and we were told the Baby had been in the second stage of crib death and we were very lucky!No one will ever convince me that God wasn't there that day!

hospital grade o2 is 99.5% or greater..so why does the hospital say we are breathing pure o2 there when we are sick

First, the oxygen in a hospital is mixed with normal air, so you end up not breathing 100% oxygen all the time. Yes, the supply lines to the patient's rooms contain 100% oxygen, but by adjusting the flow rate to the mask or nasal cannula the patient breathes less than 100% O2.\n\nSecond, 100% oxygen really isn't that toxic. If you breath it for a week you may have problems, but for short periods it's not an issue at all. \n\nFurther, at reduced pressure you can safely breath 100% O2 for long periods. The atmosphere inside a space suit is 100% oxygen at about 1/4 of an atmosphere. This minimzes the pressure differential across the space suit yet still provides enough O2 for the astronuat without any significant side effects.

Like the advantages of school lockers, can stop the backpain for carring the books through the school.

You have a point there about the backpain associated with carring those books everywhere! Without a proper backpack these day's you can actually do some pretty great damage to your back that will follow you later in life.\nWhen I was in High School I did use my school locker especially if certain classes were close together as well as scheduled back to back that tended to help when it came to carrying my books.\n Besides they are great to sneak notes into from one person to another *laugh*.\n\n Seriously it can have it's advantages if you have your locker near two or more classes that are back to back on your Course Schedule. Either that or have your folks invest in one of those wheeled backpacks that I see the kids using more and more these day's. ( Plan to get one for my daughter when she hits Jr. High; she's going into 5th in the fall. )\n\n\n Hope this helps

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociation\nDissociation\n\nDissociation is a psychological state or condition in which certain thoughts, emotions, sensations, or memories are separated from the rest of the psyche.\n\nThe French psychiatrist Pierre Janet (1859-1947) coined the term in his book L'Automatisme psychologique; he emphasized its role as a defensive manoeuver in response to psychological trauma. While he considered dissociation an initially effective defence mechanism that withdraws the individual psychologically from the impact of overwhelming traumatic events, a habitual tendency to dissociate would, however, promote psychopathology.\n\nThe American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition considers symptoms such as depersonalization, derealization, and psychogenic amnesia to be core features of dissociative disorders. However, in the normal population mild dissociative experiences are highly prevalent, with 80% to 90% of the respondents indicating that they have had dissociative experiences at least some of the time.\n\nAttention to dissociation as a clinical feature is growing in recent years as a concommitant to knowledge of post-traumatic stress disorder, and as neuroimaging research and population studies show its relevance. Dissociation most often makes the news with regards to soldiers' responses to wartime stress, rape victims with amnesia for details, and in occasional criminal trials where the question of whether a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) can be responsible for his or her actions.\n\nWhat is depersonalization?\n\nDepersonalization is the sense of being detached from, or “not in” one’s body. This is what is often referred to as an “out-of-body” experience. However, some people report rather profound alienation from their bodies, a sense that they do not recognize themselves in the mirror, recognize their face, or simply feel not “connected” to their bodies in ways which are challenging to articulate (Frey, 2001; Guralnik, Schmeidler, & Simeon, 2000; Maldonado et al., 2002; Simeon et al., 2001; Spiegel & Cardena; Steinberg, 1995).\n\n
What is derealization?\n\nDerealization is the sense of the world not being real. Some people say the world looks phony, foggy, far away, or as if seen through a veil. Some people describe seeing the world as if they are detached, or as if they were watching a movie (Steinberg, 1995).

If I buy the home at $175,000 (that is a starter home in my area) and put no down payment down, the mortgage would be about $1140/month using the interest rate in my area(6.9%) when I add in property taxes and insurance and maintenance plus my profit (25%), it would be about $1850/month. Who on earth would pay that for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house with no basement and 1/4 acre? How could anyone put no money down for an investment property and still rent it out for profit? FYI- our starter home in this area has gone up about $40-48000 in 2 years. The area is very hot. What to do?

Since the interest that you pay on your "Owner Occupied" home is tax deductable (even 2nd mortgages and Home Equity Lines of credit) where investment properties (Non-Owner Occupied) interest is not, I personally think it would be better to use the equity in your current home to put money down on an investment property. Plus, putting money down on the investment propertey will most likely lower your interest rate.\nBUT, with all that being said, I don't know full details of your financial situation and strongly suggest going to your financial planner for further information. If you don't have a financial planner, I know that Ameriprise Financial Advisors is a fantastic, safe company to deal with (formerly American Express Financial Advisors until they broke away from them last October). \nAnyway, best of luck with all this.

i am trying to send internet to my daughters house 500 ft away. i have my wireless router hooked to a 18 dbi parabolic antenna. i also have one on her end. the computer says i have a excellent connection, but when i try to connect to the internet it says i have little or no connectivity. i also have a little linksys external wireless card, when i plug it up to the usb port and unhook the 18 dbi antenna at her house the computer says i have a low signal but when i try to connect to the internet it connects but it is slow. why won't it work with the big antenna and an excellent signal and will work with a small one with a low signal. thank you

Linksys has a toll free help line. I think your best bet is to contact them.


I am an art teacher now and live for the summers when I go to art shows and sell my work.  I just can't support myself on the sale of my artwork alone, yet.  I could really use any suggestions that anyone has to change this.  I do not have the money to hire someone to market my work or set up a business plan but am more than willing to do the work myself, I just need to figure out where to begin.  Help me reach my dream, please give me ideas on how to make enough money selling my artwork that I can support myself solely on making and selling my artwork.  I love teaching but need to spend more time creating because that is where I am happiest.  Thank you very much for all suggestions!

A person in a size 16 jeans is how many inches in the waist and hips. Sometimes jeans only have the inches and not by size (like 16) and don't know what size to get.

I think 16 is around 35in. in the waist and 42 in the hips. Lands End has size charts in inches on their internet site.\n\nwww.landsend.com


Religion and the teaching are today all about emotional appeals. All logic and reasoning is lost yet the book that these teachers and preachers say they use clearly says, "Let us set down and reason together" The teacher they say they are trying to imitate did reason with all. WHAT HAPPENED?\n\nA wake-up call  from cjkeysjr@yahoo.com.ph

I agree. Many times on this site, I'll see a good question, and then some well intentioned Christian say, "you just have to have faith," or "faith isn't about logic."  It's quite irritating.  I know I have so much to learn and am ignorant myself, but it seems like some people check their brains at the door when it comes to faith. God wants us to love him with all our minds as well.  \n\nRejecting worldy wisdom doesn't mean we're supposed to be ignorant.


for my friend, he has a difficult time finding a girlfriend. Do you thinkhe will be offended?  Where can I find such a doll?

This sight has the best quality out there. I personally have the John Holmes doll.


my boyfriend and i have not had sex in over a month and he never has a need or desire for intimacy.

Well romance goes both ways.  He could have other problems - stress, money concerns...\n\nA month isn't much for a lot of married couples.  Sometimes people just take over people for granted.  Try to spice up the relationship some.  Sexy outfit, some candles at night as a suprise.  Knocking at his door in a trench coat..only a trench coat.\n\nIf none of that works, well could be cheating, could just not be into you.


Hello,\nMy boyfriend put in his resignation and asked a manager if he would be paid for his 6 days of vacation he did not use. The manager said yes, then later said no since the employee handbook states employees are not allowed to redeem unused vacation days once they put in their resignation? Is this legal for a company to do?

Federal law has no requirements on non-wage pay, such as vacation and sick time. The company voluntarily offers it and can take it away. However, if the contract specifically states that he can get paid for left over vacation after resignation, then he must get paid. Your state may have stricter laws about such things, but most have no laws about sick or vacation time.

When I was at Knotts with the guy I like (it was a sadie hawkins thing), he started holding my hand and putting his arms around me. I didn't know what to do, so I just moved his hand from mine and linked arms with him. He looked at me with a sad look on his face and now i think i just ruined my chances w/ him. What do I do?? I see him everyday at school and hangout with him. Now it's going to feel awkward.. Please help me!

Give him a big show of affection. Surprise him with it, that will keep him guessing.

i dont understand why people have to say "your religions is so and so..." dont they understand that different people (esp here) have different beliefs and that if u really is living what your religion is teaching you,you should have known how to respect others religion?whats your thoughts?

i think i understand. your right, it would seem this is supposed to be an open forum to discuss various religions openly without hosility, but some people just can't keep it friendly. debate is natural, but bashing is just silly. it would be nice to be able to learn about others beliefs with out having to weed out the slurs.


I know i may get some moronic answers but i feel i NEED to ask....i went to church when i was younger but never really paid too much attention because of course when youre young your attention span is not there ANYWAYS i still believe that i do NOT have to go to church to worship God/Jesus because i believe in my heart that God is all around me and by even coming on here and asking about religion im showing my faith...my question is (please forgive me if i sound dumb) why exactly did jesus die for our sins?? what was going to happen that made him want to die for our sins??\n\nnow im not one of those people who want others to believe what i do so if you are athiest thats fine with me you have a right to be that way and i feel nothing different towards you...but please dont come on here and give me some dumb answer okay? thank you all, and may you all have happy healthy lives!

Because he loved us and wants all mankind to be saved...\n\nOne day about 2,000 years ago God stepped out of heaven, came down to earth, and took the earthly human form of Jesus Christ. The reason that the Son of God took a human form is very beautifully stated in Hebrews 2:17. "Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people."\n\nHis love for each of us was indeed great because when the Son of God left heaven he gave up all his glory and all his power. No longer did he sit at the right hand of Almighty God. Instead of having the glory and honor of being the Son of God, he had voluntarily reduced himself to a mere mortal. Stepping out of paradise he left all that and instead took the earthly form of Jesus Christ. It is truly incredible but the Son of God allowed himself to be born into a world that he himself had created. That is why the term "the only begotten son of God" is used.\nBegotten simply means born of flesh.\n\nLuke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you; wherefore also the Holy One which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.\n\nIt's incredible but God is telling us that he loved us so much that he became one of us. And he did all this just for the privilege of welcoming you and I into heaven.\n1 John 4:10 "That God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through Him."\n\nJesus was an ambassador, a divine emissary from Almighty God himself. He had many objectives on his mission to earth, but the main purpose was twofold. First he was to tell the entire world about God the Father, and the second purpose is spelled out so very clearly in 1 Timothy 1:15 "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners".\n\nBut in accomplishing this second goal, Jesus was going to suffer and die. But before he died, he was going to have every single one of your sins and every single one of my sins placed upon his soul. With those sins in place, he then allowed himself to be horribly tortured and murdered.\n\nGiving up his existence as The Son of God, stepping out of heaven, taking the human form of Jesus Christ, and going through a horrible and painful death, was his main goal for coming here. For had God in the form of Jesus not paid your sin debt and my sin debt, then nothing else that Jesus did would have mattered very much because none of us would have ever had the chance of achieving eternal life and be able to spend eternity with him and his Father.\n2 Corinthians 5:21 "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God".\n\nTruly, it was Christ's obedience that canceled out Adam's disobedience.\n\nHaving our sins placed upon Jesus didn't make him sinful. He was still God and therefore was completely sinless. At the time of his crucifixion Jesus simply "carried" our sins; a sort of temporary stand in for our sins. There was a transfer of sins; from all of us, to him. This is why the wording of 2 Corinthians 5:21 is so very important. That verse says, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Christ was sinless, but willingly accepted every single sin, from every single person, that was or would ever be committed.\n\nThis transfer of sins was unseen by everyone but God because as he watched his Son hanging there dying, he could also see all those many sins piling up on his Son. It makes no difference that you would not be born for another 2,000 years. The sins of every human being that ever lived, or was going to live, had their sins all transferred over to Jesus. Not one single sin, regardless of how small, was left unaccounted fo

We would build a jumbo cart that could hold many kids and put lawnmower wheels on it or bigger wheels if we could find it and a bunch of us kids would hop on and some would take turns pushing it down the hill....it had a steering wheel of course -taken from a scrap car...and reflectors for that matter. Later on we learned how to put lights on it hooked up to a car battery. We built tree houses and my dad helped us run the wires to have electricity (we didn't have water though)lol We played a lot of ball games and if we didn't have a ball handy we would just use a 500ml juice box rinsed out and squashed.... condensed milk cans attached to a string made for a nice racket if you walked it down a bumpy rocky unpaved street...steel drums made for good 'pan' drums and I can play quite nicely on a good set of pots and pans thank you very much :-) I'm a girl but I was the biggest tomboy ever...I always thought guy things were more fun and toy trucks etc were pretty easy to build. (I designed and made a working car engine for a full size car at 16) Today kids are stuck in front of video games and don't use their imagination or get physical exercise nearly as much as we did. I don't know what intellivision is and I've heard of Atari but never played it-granted I live in a different country from you and also grew up in another country where there was no Atari etc.

This question is miscategorized.\n\nSpecial Education refers to the education and parenting of children with special needs.


but i don't want to fire for a divorce.What should i do?

She has to get help on her own, you can't force her to, but you can sit her down while she is sober and tell her, if she doesn't stop drinking, you are going to end up ending your marriage, because you just can't live with a drunk, and if you have children, tell her, you will also take the children, tell her she needs help, and you can't be with her until she gets it.  If she still refuses to get the help she needs, then you have no choice but to FILE for a divorce.  I wish you all the luck in the world, being married to a drunk just isn't as easy as everyone thinks it is, you need to seek councelling too, you are what is called a co-dependant of an alcoholic, and believe it or not, you do need help too, stay strong and good luck, I will be praying for you  and your family.

i was just watching the news and they were talking about how june 6 06 is coming up next month  i kinda believe in it cause you know june is the sixth month

666 is real and is the mark of the Beast. Know one can tell you the time and place for what is going to happen to his world but what I can tell you as a child of God, you must be ready. The fact that you believe means you believe that there is a God. Start reading the bible it will help you get a better understanding without people giving you what they want you to know. \n\nRevelations 13:11-18\nThe Beast out of the Earth \n 11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. \n 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.


Last month I presented and idea to my mother of buying a house together... and I still would love too but trying to get financing for a house big enough for both of our families is hard. I can't seem to get anything going, for both of us... however, I can get something just for my family. The real problem is my neighborhood. There are people selling drugs on the corner, they stole my 5ft cactus, rocking chairs, shovel, potting soil, table, purse(for crack I am sure) my kids can't ride their bikes anywhere. The schools are horrible. I have had drug addict bang on my door at 3am begging for change to buy a hotdog!? I don't know how much more I can take!

Tough one...BUT maybe you should try to get two smaller houses or even two apartments in good areas? That way you and your family would be in a good neighborhood but also you'd be able to help your mother.. because if you buy a house for your family only, no matter how good the neighborhood is you would always feel guilty for not helping your mom too... So, talk and figure out a way to help both of you! There has to be a solution. Maybe it would be smaller but in the end you would be happy.

you can store files in your yahoo email, and it saves you the hassle of saving everything to your pc...just make a new folder and then move all the emails to it. ( you will see the "move " button above the email) if it is your pc you want to store them on, then you will have to download and save them all to seperate folders on your pc..make new folders in your documents and then save the files to there.

How can you burn calories in your thighs but, keep your rompe? Any ideas???

This is my personal opinion, but I like big butts and I cannot lie. Thighs to me are sort of like an accessory to the booty. I know this may sound perverted, but thick thighs aren't nothing to be ashamed of. Now the waist, that's a different story. ;)\n\nFat is something that is used to store energy. Calories are a form of energy that will be stored as fat if you don't burn them. Everyone needs fat or else we would be freezing all the time. Besides, if you've seen someone without fat, you would love it like it was your best friend.


P.S. leave your state too to add a cooler survey.

great question.\n\nsadly, though i am black, i do not know what i would do.

Why did the senate vote last night to give social security benifits to illegals even if the employment was obtained with forged documents?  I think that if we allow these people to stay they should start at zero in the social security system.  I won't retire until after social security is out of money and this new plan by senitors that passed yesterday will drain that fund faster than the President.  It seems like amnesty for the illegals.

It IS amnesty for the illegals. This is corruption at its worse. The government is selling out American citizens in favor of the lawbreakers: both illegal immigrants and the companies that hire them.\nThe illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.


Think of it this way, be comforted in the fact that u love eachother. Neither of u would want the other to be suffering. So u have to lead a full life where u r. Keep in contact if it makes you feel better, but sometimes its not the best for some couples. Just remember that anguish and suffering will get you nowhere, and it would hurt him to see u hurt.

Last week I started doing 30-40 minutes of cardio on the eliptical trainer plus about a half hour of weight training.  I am attempting 4 days a week.  Do you have any better ideas for me?  Thanks.

You are on the right path.  I recommend doing a full body weight training routine 3-4 days a week consisting of exercises for the following bodyparts:  quads, hamstrings, calves, upper chest, lats, mid-back, lower back, shoulders (deltoids), biceps, triceps, abs.  Best exercises to start with:  squats, leg curls, standing calf raises, low incline dumbbell press, lat pulldowns to the front, low pulley rows, deadlifts, shoulder presses with dumbbells, biceps dumbbell curls, triceps pressdowns.  Use a weight that will allow you to do no more than 12 reps and no less than 8.  If you can do more than 12, increase the weight next time.  If you can't do 8 then decrease the weight.  Make sure to concentrate on each rep, control the weight and perform a full range of motion just short of lockout.  Start with one set per exercise for a week or two then increase this to 2 sets per exercise, then when you are ready to do three sets per bodypart split your exercises in half and do the first half one day and the second half the next workout and repeat.  This should get you started on a very good routine to up your metabolism.  You can add cardio a couple of times a week to help burn some extra fat, but put more focus on your weight training as this is much better at burning fat while you are doing the exercise and also burns calories after your workout and all day long (muscle burns calories, not fat).  Cardio only burn calories while you are doing it.  Also, make sure to eat a healthy well balanced low-fat diet, don't skip breakfast and don't eat within 2 hours of going to bed.  Good luck.

Well, if you put alot of butter on the corn then its both.

my stepmother had the flu 2 days ago and now this morning when i woke up, i got really sick. and i have plans for tonight..how long does the flu normally last?what can i do to make this awful thing go away..before 6 tonight?

Flu, if that's what it is, can last several days to a week. On top of that, if you are running a fever, you are contagious...it's neither polite nor ethical to go out with your friends while you can spread the flu. Stay home, watch TV or read a book, go to bed early and take good care of yourself. You'll get better and you won't give your friends the flu.


It's been twitching for over ten minutes now. What can be wrong? O_O

Occasionally, your eye may twitch at random. This involuntary twitching of the eyelid muscle usually lasts less than a minute. But it can be bothersome. The cause of eyelid twitching isn't known. However, it's often associated with fatigue and stress. You may be able to relieve the twitching by gently massaging the affected eyelid.\n\nAn eyelid twitch is usually harmless. Rarely, a twitching eyelid can be a symptom of a muscle or nerve disease. But if that is the case, it's usually accompanied by other symptoms.

When by christian mythology, heaven is reserved for only 144 000 angels, Jehovah and Jesus Christ, why billions of people expect that they would go to heaven after their death. If billions of people go to heaven reserved for a very limited number of persons, will that not be converted to a hell even for the angels and Lord Jesus? Can some one give some authenticated proof as to where the heaven is situated and also, about the correctness of said statement, which I think is merely an age old superstition which still persists, while in the olden times most of the people were not so educated and analytical?

Okay two questions...\n\n1) What is your defanition of a church?\n\n2) Is someone not a Christian just because they do not go?\n   If so why?

Church is a people who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.\n\nJust because a person does not go to a building to worship does not mean they are not a Christian, but we are to gather togather in order to uplift and encourage one another.

i have asked questions before about getting a divorce or not because im having problems with my hub...well i was just thinking about something yesterday and i think i have serious case of depression ...im always crying about anything...and sometimes OMG i cry about a show, movie or a cartoon and dont know why i stay at home with my 2 boys under the age of 3. and i dont like for them to see me cry...my hub always calls me stupid or telling me why am i so dumb for any little thing ...sometimes he is the one who doesnt get what im talking about and still i end up being the stupid..his fam. tells me not to listen to him that its stress from work BUT they dont know that he is also taking steroids for workout its an every day thing that he does...every time he does this we argue a lot...its not the 1st time that he uses this..i tell him it causes us to argue but he doesnt listen... what to do about the steroids and the depresion situation...

I would suggest you see a doctor soon and get a check up. You mention you have 2 boys under 3. Could be your hormones are out of wack which is why you're often depressed but reading about your home life is another cause. Your husband is not helping much by taking steroids either. I recall reading somewhere recently how it can effect men's hormones or whatever it is that men have....testosterone??, anyways it can cause them to have serious mood swings, mostly abusive mood swings where they're like angry all the time. See if you can find something about steroid abuse on the internet and show it to him. Hopefully it won't set him off, but will make him see the error of his ways. Only you know how he will react, it's worth a shot. Good Luck!


do you believe it's bettter to shut off the computer in a storm?

A good surge protector will normally take care of any problems. However, I had a lightning strike in my back yard and it blew out my entire pc even with surge protector. I recommend shutting off your pc during a thunder storm.

1.Why do you think there are hairs in your nose\n2.How is the fustion of the lymphatic system related to the function of the cardiovascular system\nThe best answer will be chosen in an hour

1. Nose hairs are to filter any atmospheric dirt in the air from entering entire your air passage and into your lungs. That's why it is not advocated that you breathe through your mouth.\n\n2. The lymphatic system acts as a secondary circulatory system, so it backups the cardiovascular system (which is the primary circulatory system).


its just one tooth and its yellow inside(IN FRONT<ITS THE BOTTOM TOOTH>) the tooth, is it fixable?????

As long as the decay is not into the root & jaw, they can save it, or cap it. If it can't be saved, they can bridge the teeth, put in a post and cap, or implant a new tooth!


What exactly can she expect. She is extremely nervous.

It is a clinical procedure and all women must face it. There are many problems that can only be discovered by a female exam. Assure her that the person performing the exam is a professional and there is NO personal link between healthcare professional and the patient...they have seen it all too many times to count.Just think about something else relax during exam.Its no big deal,but do it it is impt to her health


I am 14 years old 5'3" and 123 lb's ..most of the weight is in my thighs and i hate it..my stomach is thin but i feel fat...am i overweight?

you are 14 years old!!!!!!  you're body is changing each and every day!!!!  you are growing mentally, emotionally, and physically!  you're body is still growing into itself!  don't ever put yourself down and believe that you have to fit into the size 2 our society deems perfect!  if you feel uncomfortable with the way you look then you should talk to you parents, your doctor, or someone else who can help you make healthy decisions and maybe even start doing specific exercises...but do it for yourself, not for everyone else! Good luck!!!

I know it depends on what happened and what is being asked to be forgaven but I just wanted an overall opinion from you.

Forgiveness in its true sense is an awesome thing to practice. It not only shows character, but allow all offenses to be left and not control your life. The power to engage in forgiveness lies with Jesus. His example is one we should look at every time we are hurt or offended. He was beaten, crucified and left to die but still forgave those who did this to Him. How little it takes to forgive others who have wronged us, and how much reward there is for us when we do.


is there a master control for a limit on the puter

most speakers on your computer also have a volume control, as well as the player your using to play what ever it is your trying to make louder.\nyou also have a control for your computers settings, click on the small speaker looking thing next to your clock.\ncheck all 3, I bet you have at least one turned way down, if your using windows media (get something else it sucks) often it plays default at 50% volume until you change it.


Can Suns or Mavs keep up with this allstar team named the Miami White Hot Heats? As we see now that the team is n'sync they are one of the strongest forces to be messed with. Pistons can't come back because Heats is not Jokey Lakers all we want to know now is who are we going to play Suns or Mavs. Gimme your feeback. N.B. No haters please

Yeah, the Heat are doing really well, and I believe they are going to win the title.  The Mavericks and Suns look too ambivalent, on one night off the next.  Neither one seems to have the competitive caliber to knock off the Heat.  \n\nI have been impressed with the Heats' lineup: Shaq and Wade your stars, but also Payton, Walker (who is an extremely valuable, all-around player), Mourning, etc.  \n\nAs far as I am concerned, who really cares who wins the West.  Good basketball but nothing above and beyond.

Okay so I live with a roommate who apparently had a big huge mess, I work during the hours that our apartment complex is open, they are turning into condos and when they changed the locks about one month ago they lost the key.  Well they had left notices stating that they needed a copy, but since I work while they are open it was up to my roommate to get it to them.  He never did so yesterday they just changed the locks again.  When I went to pick up the key they said that his room was horribly messy and that it was unlivable, he is just my roommate so I don't go in his room.  Well so then they informed me that they are giving us a 7 day notice to move, I think it is just because they want all of us out so they can continue becoming condos.  What are my rights and what are the laws.  Can they do that?  Also how long do I really have before they can make me leave, also once they give the notice can they change the locks again after 7 days, what are the laws on that?

You need an attorney and need to act fast.  If you don't move out within the 7 days (or convince them to change their mind) they will file suit for posession, sometimes called illegal or unlawful detainer.  You'll only have a few days (typically 5, but can vary from state to state) to file your answer with the court.  If you don't file an answer, they will get a default judgement against you which they will turn over to the sheriff (after the legally prescribed waiting period) who will physically remove you and all of your property from the apartment.\n\nIf you do file a response, you'll get your day in court and may challenge the eviction.  If you win, it's over and you can stay put.  If you lose, see the above paragraph.\n\nSee an attorney or tenants rights organization for further information.  You can also google "Florida Eviction" and see what pops there.

Does blood flow maintained constant in the brain at all times?

Blood flow is not constant in the brain at all times. If you're taking an exam, your cerebrum is going to be more active than if you are just laying down and resting. \n\nIn terms of exercise, the sympathetic system kicks in...increased heart rate, pupils dilated, dilation of bronchial passages, and more blood going to certain parts of the brain to be more alert and active.


Teams in other sports - basketball, soccer, football- are always shown high fiving, shaking hands and hugging their opponents after the game

The aftergame "handshake" or "high-five" is a ritual adopted by little leagues and schools to teach sportsmanship to the youth. It's a way of saying "No hard feelings, the score doesn't matter because we're friends." MLB just hasn't adopted this "tradition" for its teams. Besides do you honestly think the yanks and Red Sox would shake hands after one of their games. Well maybe only for Johnny Damon....this just in...\n\n3.09\nPlayers in uniform shall not address or mingle with spectators, nor sit in the stands before, during, or after a game.

She's working with me in a different department but her office is close by. She already has a BF/partner I believe but I like her so much. We may not end up together but even a 1% chance of possibility would give me much hope.. I tried  to kind of go out with me slowly, it may not seem enough. However, i just have to try... Thx for the feedback.

If she has a boyfriend already then you just need to back off.  How would you feel if a co-worker was trying to get with your girl?  As for the work relationship, keep in mind that even a friendship would affect the work relationship, so a romantic relationship will affect it more deeply.  Move on and try someone else.

Flip is now on the hot seat? WOW. Why don't these bozos blame themselves for losing? First they ran Rick Carlisle out, then Larry Brown, now Flip? What did Flip do? Flip is actually the best thing to happen to the Pistons! He's stable, halfway likeable and a solid coach! Why do the Pistons players always blame their coach first? Why don't they look at their apathetic play, their lack of cohesiveness and communication, among other issues?\n\nIf Flip is run out of town, that's a strong indicator that something is either wrong with the players or the front office. Three coaches in what, 5 or 6 years is crazy. That's expected in Golden State, the Clippers or Toronto, but not a winning team!\n\nI think the Pistons are full of it, and that's from a fan.

You gut to the bottom of it yourself. Its the Players and the Organization that has problems. There is nothing wrong with the coach at all. But I dont think Flip is in the Hot Seat. You know why? Because if they get rid of Flip....he will just earn more money and the Pistons Organization would have dug themselves their own grave. Nobody would want to come and coach the Pistons if this is how they treat coaches.

or do you not even have to worry about inspection?

In California our lendor did not require it, and we ended up not paying for an inspection.  We had no problems.  Most home builders will provide a pretty decent warranty that you can use to fix things that come up (and they will) during the first year.  \n\nA walk through is generally required and you will probably find somethings and they will probably point out some things they are aware of....if something makes you think an inspection is needed go for it....but I'd save the money.


We have used 35 mm cameras, and other items we would like to sell.

You can use ebay Trading Assistants to sell your items for you. You can find them here http://tradingassistant.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?TradingAssistant&page=main\n\nOr you can use third party such as iSoldit.com which offers sells on ebay for others. You can bring to their stores your merchandise and they will sell it for you on ebay. You can find the list of iSoldit.com stores in your area on this page: http://www.i-soldit.com/locations.asp\n\nTheir commission is basically 30% of the amount the item's selling price \nhttp://www.i-soldit.com/fees.asp \n\nPlus, they will deduct from you the selling fees incurred as well as payment processing fees. \n\nSimply put, they are not cheap. But if you don't have time or dont want to be hassled taking pictures of the items or learning how to sell on ebay, they can make you better money than downright throwing the items or giving them to charity.\n\nFor example, you sell through them a scrapbook kit that ends for $20 -\n\nTOTAL PRICE = $20\n\nLESS:\niSoldit Commission (40%) = $8\nListing/Gallery photo fee = $0.70 \n5.25% fee = $1.05\nPayment processing fee $.30 plus 2.5% of the total transaction value (sales price, shipping & handling and sales tax) = $1.10\n\nSo you will end up with $10.20 more or less. Think if this is something you'd want\n\nAlso try the following:\n\nhttp://www.quikdrop.com/getstarted.php\nhttp://www.auctiondrop.com/TheUPSStores/TheUPSStores.aspx

I know a guy asking a female question is corney but I am serious. My wife has vaginal farts. I can't tell but she will break wind and then tell me wow that was from my vagina. Is it normal for the uterus to produce gases like that for them to escape out the vagina in the form of a "fart". she is not too self conscious about it but I was wonderign if there was somethign infected or not right inside that would create the gas, she also has a very strong oder most of the time. She said her uterus is tipped wrong so That is why I wondered if her monthly flow was not completly cleaning out.

Vaginal "farts" are actually very common, however they are usually not produced by gasses from the uterus. It's simply air that has gotten trapped in the vaginal canal. Sometimes the labia forms such an airtight seal, that air accumulates until there is enough pressure for it to break the seal and escape in a fart. \n\nHaving said that, you say she has a strong odor. There is a possibility that she has some sort of vaginal infection. The growing of the bacteria in the vaginal canal could be producing even more gasses than normal. I'd have her checked for that. \n\nI don't see the tipped uterus being connected to this. \n\nBTW, you seem like a very caring hubby. Good for you.

hi, what is sysprep installation and what is the path to install winxp with unattended installation

The sysprep tool (from my win2000 knowledge), is run on a fully installed windows system, to strip it of all identifying information, and the hard drive can then be cloned for use in different machines. \n\nWhen the cloned drive is placed in the target machine, and booted, it would perform a mini setup and ask for your name company etc, and then within a few minutes, windows would be ready for use on the new machine.\n\nThe installation procedure for unattended install, I cannot remember, but I know you have to create a special disk of some kind and make an unattend.bat file or something, though that was win2000, not sure about XP. You could read through the winxp documentation that comes with the CD it might be of help.


haha.  it could either be making fun of karmic and dogmatic beliefs, or in a literal sense it could mean that the person's karmic beliefs are more important than dogmatic beliefs.\n\nThe person may have switched from a very strict practice to something like Buddhism.

Give different answers for the two champs....

fristly thanks for ansering my questions.this is sandy.i think rey and cena can surely retain their titles for a long period of time . as they have enough experience,excellent moves.for rey i think his reign as the heavyheight champ would not be that much long as a match with khali or any other big wrestler can place him in trouble. and for cena he must step down as the wwe champion so as to regain his lost respect among the wwe fans and in future after he regains his lost dignity, for sure he would be able to win back the championship for any wrestler.

Can you answer this??????\nHello, I was wondering I went to my dentist about a month ago, and he took some xrays, and told me I have 2 chronic abscesses in my left top/bottom wisdom teeth, and a sever cavity in my right wisdom tooth. Would this be the cause of my swollen glands, and fatigue, and general ill feeling ALL THE TIME!!!!!!???? At some points throughout the day I feel dizzy, like I am gonna fall over. I dont have dental to get these teeth pulled, and treated so I dont know what the hell to do. I just want to feel good again. I feel okay one minute, and then the next feel like I am going to die. Anyone else experiance these sypmtoms with a TOOTH ABCSESS??? It has also been a little harder for me to get over my usual colds, and my allerigies seem to be ALOT worse. I need some help PLEASEEEE!!!! My left wisdom teeth have been decayed for about 2 years now, and just simply dont have the money to get them fixed. Can you die from this? Any suggestions?

Clove oil as a natural remedy, or Ambusol if you do not care whether or not it is a natural cure. You just have to put a drop where the pain is.\nIf you have lost a filling, there is a temporary filling you can buy over the counter as well.


me and this guy have been friends for a while. we were always close, hung out everyday. i had a baby 2 1/2 mts ago, and i've changed my life, to be a good mother. i've went back to church, and my life style has changed, glory be to God. but now we're not as close, it's not my child, it's that our life styles don't click anymore. it's that he doesn't want anything to do with church, and that i don't hang out in the same places anymore. but i've come to see him in a different way, more than a friend.  we're from the same church background, it's just that he doesn't want to go back to it. i'm not falling back out of church for NOBODY and i'm happy God's changed my life, but tell me how do i establish something with him since the situation is like it is.

I would fast and pray earnestly if you want it to work out with this guy. But don't be discouraged if something doesn't happen right away. Keep praying for him and yourself. Remember this: P-U-S-H = Pray Until Something Happens! Good Luck!


If you worked 40 hours a week, m-f\nand your husband stayed home, what would be your expectations he would need to meet to be happy providing for him.. He makes a little money, 2-300 a month... and we use it to party on... and goes to school 3 days a week for alot of hours... Im not good at house chores and terrible at cooking... I need help... job isnt really the issue here..\nshe doesnt mind me staying at home.. I ask her what she wants me to do everyday, and I dont realy get a response...\nclearly she is unhappy... I need a gameplan for getting this house straight...and providing for her as a stay at home counter part.\nShe makes 498 a week after taxes and rent is 690 a month..

She makes less than $500.00 a week and you make less than $300.00 a month?  Where are the kids?  I'd say she thinks you're getting a free ride and wants you to hurry up and get back to work.


What do i say to the lein holder, they already call 3 times for payment, and I just dont have the money this month.

Not having the money is not an excuse.  If you are sure you will have the money next month, tell them you will pay double next month and that you just forgot this month and made an error with your budget.\n\nIf it truly IS your first time, they will accept this.  Remember that you can only do this once.


I started seeing this guy and we went out the other night to get to know him. It seems that he really has no time for a girlfriend because hes a cop and if hes not working hes drinkin or sleeping. should i even attempt trying to make things work with him ? we both really like each other and i think i could change his ways of drinking .

It all depends on you.  If you do not mind him drinking or sleeping when he is off then it might work out.  If it cramps your style, then drop out.

Lately I've been eating way less because I don't want to gain any weight.I'm not underweight. I weigh 135 pounds and I'm 5'5". Is eating this little bad will it make me lose anymore weight?(It's made me lose 5 pounds in the last few days so far.)

I would not recommend an 800 calorie a day diet.  Especially for a 13 year old girl.  You are still growing and need the extra caloric intake for your body to stay healthy at this age.  1200-1500 calories a day with regular exercise and daily activity will keep you healthy and also help to maintain your weight.\n\nI need to mention that if you have never had your period yet,that this will be a factor also.  Girls slim down and go through hormonal and body changes after they begin to menstruate.  You body is going through hormonal changes anyway at 13 years of age,which requires that you need to have a higher caloric intake not a lower one.\n\nExercise is always better than dieting at your age as it promotes strong muscles and reduces fat. It will also help to tone your body,rather than lose weight and then still have the same figure and the fat to deal with.\n\nIt is also a known fact that your body will go into a fight or flight mode by decreasing your calorie intake.  What I mean by this is that you will actually gain MORE weight by trying to lose weight in this manner.  Your body will go into a mode that it thinks you are trying to starve the system and will start to store FAT.\n\nPut the scale away,eat healthy foods,get plenty of rest,and drink a lot of fluids to ensure a healthy body. And please remember to exercise.\n\nAt 5'5" you are probably like a size 7 or 9 juniors and there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of with that size at your age.\n\nStay healthy.  ~Z~

if a person says they believe in the Summerland, but not in reincarnation, can they call themselves Wiccan? Also, does anyone know of any websites that supports the claim that wiccans can believe in the summerland, but not in reincarnation?

I think so.  I know of other Wiccans who don't believe in reincarnation.  I personally do, because it make sense to me that the soul would need more than one go around before it's considered good enough to stay somewhere so nice (think of Adolf Hitler's soul, for goodness sake, and how many times it would have to do the go around!).  I see reincarnation as the ultimate consequence for not accepting the consequences of our behavior in this life.\n\nThis is an answered question on about.com: http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/whatiswicca/f/afterlife.htm  I'm not sure if it is saying that you HAVE to believe in reincarnation or that it is strongly believed throughout most of the religious community.  I will seek further.\n\nHere is a site that give a pretty good overview of Wicca, and it briefly mentions the Summerland: http://www.souldevice.org/wicca.html\n\nThe only site I could find that even remotely supports the Summerland without reincarnation is this one: http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/faq.htm  Even here, though, it's ambiguous.\n\nFinally, a site that seems to be more in tune with you, although a Wiccan probably didn't write it.  Still, it's usually not a bad site for information on religion: http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_beli.htm\n\nOkay, I have to revise what I was saying earlier, I suppose.  It seems that reincarnation is, according to most Wiccans, central to Wiccan beliefs because it is considered part of the cycle of life, death and rebirth that we believe, through obsveration, that all living things go through.  The Summerland is less of a "paradise" than a nice, comfy place to await the next life, maybe get a little rested and refreshed before starting it all over again.  I thought it was a little more open to interpretation, and maybe you could continue practicing that way if you want to without too much comment.\n\nPerhaps you could examine what it is about reincarnation that you are unable to believe in.  If you find that you can't reconcile your beliefs about reincarnation with Wiccan teachings, perhaps it would be better for your spiritual growth to follow another pagan path.  There are many, after all, although I think that reincarnation is a pretty big theme among alot of them.


what would you rather have .......a not so pretty girl with the best personallity or a super model who's a complete witch with a horrible personality????\n\nbe honest....and say why

personality...the longer you stay with a woman, the better she looks. the longer you stay with a snotty woman, the more you want to kick her in the teeth


I just recently learned that your family gets charged a tax on your estate when you die... they collect taxes on this state your whole life (property taxes, income taxes, federal taxes, state staxes), why do you get charged again for all of this when you die!!  I need some clarity!

Let's say you are running a small family manufacturing business.  You start it from nothing, by the time you die, it's worth $4 million.  Fact is, a lot of the $4 million of value which was built has never been taxed.  This is because the value of the business is not just the original historic cost of the physical assets owned, or cash in the bank.  Businesses often have a value far beyond what the Balance Sheet shows.  One, they are a going concern that makes money, and they have an established customer base.  Two, they often buy assets such as land or buildings that appreciate in value.  If these gains aren't taxed at death, when the property is transferred to heirs, it would NEVER be taxed - which death tax advocates would say is not fair.  Also, bear in mind that the first $2,000,000 of value transferred to heirs is NOT subject to the death tax (the amount exempt changes from year to year).  So this is a tax that affects only a small minority of the people who die in the US every year.
