before you answer reflect on these scenario's:\n- The people who jumped the twin towers on 9/11 (most likely to keep from suffering from the burning flames\n-Cancer patients, who want to take the ass'td suicide pill because they know they are going to die and can't handle the pain\n-chemical imbalance in a persons brain, that doesn't allow them to think right.

Committing suicide I believe is a sin. God put each person here for a reason and He will take each person out at the time He wants them out. I don't believe there are exceptions. The twin towers... what if they could've saved another person's life just by not jumping. Cancer patients... God sometimes allows you to go through spiritual tests. Even if you were going to die, what if someone needed to hear something they needed to say... hey you never know God's plans. The chemical imbalance thing can be controlled no matter the circumstances even if its straping them down to a bed and making them live on injected "food". Committing suicide is taking your life into your own hands and pretty much spitting in the face of God saying that He is powerless to do anything about the current situation. I don't know if it will lead you to hell. I heard once that every single person has that split second to make a decision before they die if they believe in God, but who's really to know but God.


Like, how do you tell the difference? I've lost a lot of weight, and am still pretty heavy, but can't tell the difference between fat or loose skin?

well loose skin is just hanging out and fat is not loose and is very heavy and loose skin not


if you are looking to eat health/loose weight i recommend..\napples, grapefruit  and bananas.  grapefruit is supposed to boost your metabolism while the others are good sources of vitamins without too much natural sugar.\nveggies.. dark green is good.  spinach leaves for salads, broccoli,asparagus, green beans (not canned).  no carrots or corn, too high in sugars.  things like tomatoes and bell peppers are good too.  yams are great, they are a super carb- great for abs!


When women drees Hot...it is assumed that they want to impress and maybe catch a man....But I think women dress to out do or impress othere women....the man part is secondary. Is this true?...WHY?

It's true WOMEN tend to be too judgmental with other women when it comes to dressing up... Men, are easier to please because they are very appreciative about women who dresses well and look good and sexy in anything they wear.\nBut as for me, thats not true.....\nI only dress up to please myself because i want to feel good and confident in what i wear or do. Nothing else.


LEAVE HIM ALONE- WHAT YOU SEE HIM DOING TO THE OTHER GIRL IS WHAT HE'LL DO TO YOU WHEN HE GETS TIRED OF YOU


"Wragtig" (actually "wragtag") originates from "waaragtig" which means "truly" or "really". ("Waar" = "true".)\n\n"Hy is wragtag hier!" translates to: "He is really here!" - in an expression of surprize.\n\n"Wragtag" has the feeling of a slightly crude word. It is normally used to express surprize, in a strong way.


The charges are "Fta" and "minor in possession of alcohol" in Worcester county Maryland. In 2003 i got busted with some of my friends for possessing boose in Ocean City, MD. We all got fined $40 and 20 hours of community service. Twice i wrote a letter asking for more time and got it, but i still only completed 17 hours of the 20 hours. So i let it go and almost completely forgot about it. I don't ever remember receiving any more letters about it, but the Sheriff's office claims they sent two. 3 years later, I have since changed addresses(same state, PA). the other day i got a latter. They want me to turn myself in, pay a $500 bond and get a new court date. \nWhat should i do? Can i write a letter asking for a new court date and pay the bond via mail(check /money order). What are my options here? Side note: the officer that issued the citation made us pour out the boose, but not all of it. He allowed us to Keep two cases of beer. does this create a chance the case could be dropped or ?

A 500 dollar bond is going to cost you 50 bucks to get out.  Call a bail bondsman first and have him meet you at the police station when you turn yourself in.  Show up for your courtdate and then pay whatever fine they give you then.\nYou HAVE to turn yourself in, that is what the bond is for. Otherwise you will get pulled over for a traffic violation sometime and end up going to jail.  \nTrust me, call a bail bondsman.  This will be NO BIG DEAL to take care of.\nGood luck!


the actual scrpit mainly the v monologue where everythibg v says begins with the letter v

V\n\n"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vangquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.\n\nThe only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."


Is there any clinic or hospital in U.S would be able to make the operation to change your fingerprint? How you find them?

How many continents did Earth have at the time Pangaea?

One. It was called pangaea heres some more info:\n\nPangaea or Pangea (derived from Παγγαία, Greek for "all earth") is the name given to the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, before the process of plate tectonics separated each of the component continents into their current configuration. The name was coined by Alfred Wegener, chief proponent of Continental Drift in 1915.\n\nThe continents apparently first coalesced to form Pangaea about 300 Mya (million years ago), giving rise to several prominent mountain ranges by the process known as orogeny. Several of these ranges still exist, although they have become much lower by means of erosion. The Appalachians of eastern North America, the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, and the Urals of Eurasia are prime examples. The mantle under Pangaea's former location seemingly remained very hot even after coalescence, convection currents within the underlying magma pushing the centre of the supercontinent upward. As a result, the area that is now the continent of Africa was situated tens of meters higher than the surrounding continents.\n\nIn configuration, Pangaea was a C-shaped landmass that spread across the equator. The body of water that was enclosed within the resulting crescent has been named the Tethys Sea. Owing to Pangaea's massive size, the inland regions appear to have been very dry due to the lack of precipitation. The large supercontinent would potentially have allowed terrestrial animals to migrate freely all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole.\n\nThe vast ocean that once surrounded the supercontinent of Pangaea has been named Panthalassa. Pangaea, it seems, broke up about 180 Ma in the Jurassic Period, firstly into two supercontinents (Gondwana to the south and Laurasia to the north), thereafter into the continents as we understand them today.\n\nPangaea was not the first supercontinent. From the evidence available, scientists reconstruct that a predecessor, termed Pannotia, formed about 600 Ma, before dividing again some 50 million years later. Another, Rodinia, apparently formed approximately 1,100 Ma and divided 750 Ma.


If you believe it is the latter, will you change your belief (faith) if it is unreasonable or ludicrous (bordering on crazy) ?

Another great question.Faith is not blind because it is just a concept like love, etc. Ah.....but the faithful! They are not blind. They are so intelligent and reasonable. Consider these:\na)Mathematicians say that it is highly improbable for order to come out of disorder. But, the faithful has found ways of convincing us that complex things just evolved.\n\nb)There is only one true and Almighty God, says the Bible. But the faithful is so ingenious they have convinced us that He is 3 in one.\n\nc) God is love and mercy. In fact he gives rain and blessings to the righteous and unrighteous. He sent his son as ransom for us. But, the faithful is more intelligent than their creator. They have made us believe that God would make or even allow eternal torture in hell.\n\nd) God is love. He told us to love one another. But, the faithful is better than God. They are able to convince us to slaughter each other in war--in the name of that God.\n\ne) God told his true followers to preach the good news about his coming Kingdom. When they do, the faithful has successfully branded them as cult members.\n\nf)Love God with all your minds. Yet, when somebody is reasoning with us the folly of our beliefs, the faithful is so eager to shut him up. Mind your own beliefs, they say.\n\nShall I go on...or is it too much for you?


Dress appropriately for the job you are applying for - if it's in an office, wear something professional; if it is a fast-food restaurant, wear a nice skirt or nice khakis and a sweater.\n\nDon't wear a lot of jewelry.\n\nDon't wear perfume/cologne - it will probably offend the interviewer (he may not like perfumes, may have scent sensitivity, or may not like the scent you've chosen).\n\nWear a watch - a sign that you care about punctuality.\n\nBe pleasant and conversational, but still be yourself.  Ask the interviewer specific questions about the job - but, on the first interview, don't ask about salary, benefits, vacation time, smoke breaks, etc.\n\nGood luck!


Since 1993, about 10,000 otherwise qualified servicemembers have been forced out, including those in crucial occupations such as code-breakers, intelligence and medical specialists, air traffic controllers and translators. At a time of tight budgets and stretched-thin forces, the Defense Department has spent $364 million to recruit and train replacements for those discharged, says a blue ribbon panel that includes former Defense secretary William Perry.\n\n\nThe U.S. ban on openly gay servicemembers is an archaic and hurtful assault on people who want only to serve their country. The Supreme Court did what it had to do. Now, it's Congress' turn to do what it ought to do and repeal the ban.

I find it appalling that Homosexuality was only recently taken out of the DSM... The big book of mental disorders.\n\nI find it appalling that I cant donate blood because im gay.  The Red Cross has a ban on any male that has had sexual relations with another man since 1977.  Having sex one time in  33 years disqualifies you from ever donating blood.. amidst huge blood shortages.\n\nI find it appalling that i cant get married.. or even a civil union.\n\nI find it appalling that religious extremists are out there actively boycotting companies that show equality to gays.\n\nThe suicide rate among homosexual teens is the highest proportionally in the entire country.  Those bastards are KILLING them.. Killing them with thier "reparative therapy" and hurtful accusations, and outright lies.\n\n\nEDIT:\n\nI am actually quite suprised by the answers here... Actually suprised!\n\nThere seems to be a common misnomer running rampant in the minds of a few of you on here.  A gay male isnt some immoral being, with uncontrollable sexual tendencies.  I have successfully lived with/showered with/eaten with straight males all throughout college, and yes.. in those tiny tiny dorm rooms.\n\nThere are those that seem to think that just because there is a gay male in the room... he is automatically staring at thier crotches... and YES, of course i think there are a lot of straight males out there, and yes i glance at thier asses from time to time.. but, other than that, i keep the romance, and wishful thinking geared towards OTHER gay males.\n\nThere is a line that eventually every gay male comes across that a lot of straight males come to also.  It is when we become attracted to someone that is not interested, for various reasons, to us.  We can either A) press on reguardless, incurring wrath/disgust/criminal charges... OR we learn to let it go, and move on.\n\nA similar situation occurs for Gay males.  We have to realize that the "playing field" is a bit limited.  Sure.. there are many many males out there... but only a small percentage of them are even like us.\n\nWe have to train ourselves to mentally "cross them off the list"  before we become attracted.  This saves a lot of anger/misunderstanding/criminal charges. :P    \n\nAssuming that we are not in controll of our sexual drive is preposterous.  Assuming that we are not mentally capable of being "gay men in a straight society" is a common, hurtful misconception.\n\nOpening up your minds occasionally couldnt hurt :)


what are the parts of the cell phone and what is its significance when we study it???

An amazing circuit board containing the brains of the phone \nAn antenna \nA liquid crystal display  \nA keyboard \nA microphone \nA speaker \nA battery \n\nSignificance when we study it?\n\n\nThe analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion chips translate the outgoing audio signal from analog to digital and the incoming signal from digital back to analog. You can learn more about A-to-D and D-to-A conversion and its importance to digital audio in How Compact Discs Work. The digital signal processor (DSP) is a highly customized processor designed to perform signal-manipulation calculations at high speed. \n\nThe microprocessor handles all of the housekeeping chores for the keyboard and display, deals with command and control signaling with the base station and also coordinates the rest of the functions on the board.   \n\n\nThe ROM and Flash memory chips provide storage for the phone's operating system and customizable features, such as the phone directory. The radio frequency (RF) and power section handles power management and recharging, and also deals with the hundreds of FM channels. Finally, the RF amplifiers handle signals traveling to and from the antenna. \n\nThe display has grown considerably in size as the number of features in cell phones have increased. Most current phones offer built-in phone directories, calculators and games. And many of the phones incorporate some type of PDA or Web browser.     \n\nSome phones store certain information, such as the SID and MIN codes, in internal Flash memory, while others use external cards that are similar to SmartMedia cards. \n  \nCell phones have such tiny speakers and microphones that it is incredible how well most of them reproduce sound. The speaker is about the size of a dime and the microphone is no larger than the watch battery beside it. Speaking of the watch battery, this is used by the cell phone's internal clock chip


Do you go to hell? Us talking about the bible mean we are all going to hell?

Interesting question. A lot of people say that in order to avoid hell, you must accept (insert religion) as the truth. To them, I say, if God can't understand why I have my doubts about (insert religion), he's as stupid as...well, you. (You, meaning them, not you.)

I downloaded my pictures at 2,400kb onto my computer, but now they are too big to email or send to an online photo processor.  I need to know how to make them smaller, I've tried everything.

I don't know what sort of programs you have on your computer, but if you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can resize the photos very easily. Just go to the Picture menu at the top and go down to "Resize..." or "Compress Pictures..." If you select Resize, you can choose how large you want the picture to be. If you choose Compress Pictures, you can choose to compress the pictures for certain uses like e-mail or web pages.\n\nIf you don't have a photo editor on your computer, you might try the suggestion from the other guy!


Iam looking too get the money a person lost in a court case and dose not want to pay back too me looking too garnish his income tax or welfare .\n\nin canada

You have to have a written contract to be able to garnishee his wages. it would be of benefit to have a lawyer and you may be better to launch a civil suit.\n\nv. to obtain a court order directing a party holding funds (such as a bank) or about to pay wages (such as an employer) to an alleged debtor to set that money aside until the court determines (decides) how much the debtor owes to the creditor. Garnishing funds is also a warning to the party holding the funds (garnishee) not to pay them, and to inform the court as to how much money is being held. If the garnishee (such as a bank or employer) should mistakenly give the money to the account owner or employee, the garnishee will be liable to pay the creditor what he/she/it has coming. Garnishing wages is a typical means used to collect late child support and alimony payments or money judgments. Often the order will be to pay installment payments to the sheriff until the debt is collected. Then the sheriff pays the whole amount or payments to the person to whom the money is owed.


I think there is a sex offender living behind my sister and she has 4 kids that are under the age of 14 yrs.


I have a 5mm Kidney Stone. Is there any chance it will come out pain free or will I cry like a bitch?

The discomfort of a kidney stone's passage - is most apparent when it passes from the ureter, into the bladder.  The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidney.  Passage through the urethra - tube that carries urine from the bladder to the toilet, tree, or alley wall, is often not noticed with a stone of this size - and when it is noticed.  The discomfort can be great in passing through the ureter and generally pain meds are prescribed to take as needed.  A stone that fails to pass in a reasonable amont of time, is accompanied by fever, chills, or uncontrolled pain, requires the attention of a Urologist.\n\nBest wishes - I hope you don't feel a thing and pass the stone with no trouble.


the men in my dreams are no particular men. currently, i just feel less love and angry to my husband. he didnt do anything wrong except we have been not making love nearly 2 months now. now, i cant look into his eyes anymore. what happened to me?

Not making love for over 2 months is not normal behavior.  Feeling anger about it is justified but not healthy behavior.\n\nTalk to your husband.  Find out the cause of why you two haven't made love in 2 months.  Let him know you feel resentment about it.  Later on you can worry about how to spice things up.\n\nSuggest counseling or seeing your pastor/priest/spiritual leader.\n\nGood luck!

Was talking to this guy long distance. I went there once and we went out. Then he wouldnt call as much as I wanted him to, he said it was because of his job(cop). I ended things through email. He told me that he liked me very much but distance was a problem. I asked him about distance before and he reassured me he can handle it. Afterwards, I wanted to get back together with him and asked him but he said no.\n\nIts been 6 months and we contact through email and text messages. I called him once but he never called back but we still communicate. I hadnt heard from him in a week so I text him yesterday and asked if everything was ok. he responded with Yep in class. \n\nWhy is he still contacting???\nSince I havent gotten an email from him in a week, do you think he is seeing someone else????????

How far is the distance?  It doesn't mean that he IS seeing someone, just means he is either busy, trying to let you down easily or maybe he is seeing someone.  If you aren't together, then he may feel it's ok even if you don't.  Are you seeing other people?  I would suggest telling him how you feel and see where things go from there.  Long distance is hard and unless you are both committed, it won't work.  You need a lot of trust for a long distance relationship.


I am looking for information on St. Nicole for a young lady who has chosen Nicole's name as her patron for this sacrament.  I'd like to be able to give her a brief  biography of the saint.

I suspect that her patron saint may then be St.Nicholas, although I have found medals of a Saint Nicole for sale on-line, but no information as to who she was.  I was able to find one reference to a St. Nichole who was the abbess of the convent of Almenenches, but no other information about her.  No other listings of saints had a St. Nicole.\n\nSorry I couldn't be of more help.


I have left him twice fro being a butt and he still wants me back, we have two kids together, but he is one state and i am in another. He says he loves me but I don't know if I feel the same.

If you don't feel the same then no, if he does not really love you or you do not love him chances are things will not work out, and there's no reason for you too be hurt again f you was. It takes two remember to make a relationship work. Just follow your heart. Good luck


I want to reduce a JPEG photo from 850Kb. down to around 100Kb. I don't have Photoshop. Is there any way of doing it. I don't mind the fact that I will lose quality.

If you are using a digital camera, you sometimes can change the settings right on the camera. If it is scanned or you can't change the settings, open the file in something like paint and choose edit, select all, and then you can resize the picture. Another option would be to go to image and then attributes and change the width and height.


Is it best to file each charge individually,around 5 of them,or maybe 6. DO they consider how its been onging for years,or only the last infractions?  Do I need a lawyer to win this? Should I wait to file? until lawyer get.

Was your union your employer?  If not they're not responsible for ADA problems at your employer.  They could support your employers view or not, and if they support the employers view it will be harder to complain of ADA discrimination by your employer.  There is time limits for each complaint so anything past that timeline can't be argued, but anything within that time can be.  You need to get a good lawyer to fight this.  If you file yourself you could end up saying something that could be used to validate the employers claim.

While she is quite verbal and expresses herself very well at home and with relatives that she knows and feels comfortable with, she refuses to speak with her teacher, does not do lessons that require her to speak out, At sunday school, she will not say her bible verse, her mother tape records her saying it so that she will get credit for having learned it. The kid is like every other child at home..but take her out of her comfort zone and everything verbal stops. 2 other things that bother me are 1) she doesn't like to eat and 2) she doesn't like to sleep.  Anybody out there know where we can go for help?  I nor no one I know has ever dealt with another child like this.  Thank You

She's probably just not good with a group over a certain size.  That may change, or it may not.  Have you asked her, at home, while she's comfortable, what's not comfortable about school and church? \n\nAs far as the eating and sleeping goes, nobody 5 likes to eat OR sleep.  Give her a routine and the food she needs, and quit watching!  When she's hungry, she'll eat.  And if she doesn't want to sleep, that's fine too--just put her in the same room every night at the same time and tell her she can do anything she likes in her bed with her eyes closed in the dark.


Do you even know anything about the Nazis because "hurr nazis bad hurr"? Are you so blinded by your own stupidity and hatred that you can't see the world of difference between the National Socialists and the US Repuclican party?!\n\nDo you honestly think Pres. Bush would allow you to continue living if he were truly a Nazi?!

IMO, the Dems have more in common with the Nazis than the GOP. Don't forget, the political spectrum isn't perfect- the Nazis were, after all, National SOCIALISTS.\n\nSome other similarities between those on the left and Nazis:\n\n- Hitler (and many other high ranking Nazis) were violently anti-smoking. Most of the anti-tobacco legislation does seem to come from Democrats.\n- Hitler was a vegitarian. Just call him a nice tree hugging PETA member.\n- Even though the Nazis paid homage to Christianity, many top secret Nazi memos showed they despised CHristianity and longed for the day ater the war when they could bring back German paganism. The nazis were wiccans ?\n\nBut in reality, I don't think the Dems are Nazis. Fascism is a terrible thing, something which is a strong accusation. Whenever the Dems call the GOP "nazis" it belittels how terrible Nazism really was.


I have a project for school to first come up with a "burning question" and then research it to put together an oral presentation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! :)

A burning question has always been a question that someone is dying to ask. IT is something that you or someone else really wants to know the answer to. "I just have one burning question,- Are you pregnant with the milkman's baby or were those just rumors?"


You can't. That's the point of it being 'invisible'.\n\nThat person can contact you if they want, and then you'll know they're on-line (that is - if you're not invisible...)

What are the latest developments in stem cell technology?

Stem cells are primal undifferentiated cells which retain the ability to differentiate into other cell types. This ability allows them to act as a repair system for the body, replenishing other cells as long as the host organism is alive.\n\nMedical researchers believe stem cell research has the potential to change the face of human disease by being used to repair specific tissues or to grow organs. Yet as government reports point out, "significant technical hurdles remain that will only be overcome through years of intensive research."\n\nThere are three types of stem cells: embryonic, adult and cord blood. Right to life and many religious groups have ethical problems with embryonic programs because it involves destroying surplus embryos from IVF programs.


My crush Cameron and I have been friends for almost a year.  We flirt, but he's pretty held back.  He's hinted around that he likes me, but when I put it to the test, he leaves me looking like a fool.  I need to know how to reel him in.  Gosh, when I put it like that it sounds so weird.

He's one of those guys who likes you but gets scared when it comes time to risk his heart. He likes you, trust me. He's just scared. If you are more direct and aggressive then you will scare him off. And i also think that if he was more aggressive then you would not be so interested in pursuing him.\nTo reel him in, write him a love note with his name in a heart on it and then accidentally let it fall out of your binder in front of him. Or do something like that. Make him know that you like him but in a way that you aren't aggressive. \nOr do something, manipulate him, in a way that makes him believe that he is pursuing you. Tell him that you think he's super cute and you wish that he was your boyfriend but you know that he's too hot for you and that you're thinking about asking out (insert name here). Should I?\n\nJust manipulate him. You should already know how. You're a girl aren't you?

It's up to you if you want to wait a year or not. If you and the friend have sparks, go for it! What difference is it going to make with your ex anyway? You didn't cheat, right? You need to do what makes you happy, and if your ex has a problem with it, too bad! Ex's are ex's for a reason!


i am trying to install my video card right? so i put the cd in and it wont install. i get an error message that says "List index out of bounds (0)" if you know how to help me please tell cuz if i dont get this fixed then my life will be a living hell.

I'd say that Windows 98 is the problem.  Well, whatever the problem is, download the latest drivers from the manufacturer, for nVidia, http://www.nvidia.com/ and for ATi, http://www.ati.com/ it could also very well be the case that your card is not supported under Windows 98.


After Katrina, I would not say they are batting 1000.  I don't know about you, but I am thinking about stocking up on duct tape and plastic.

It is my understanding that several US government agencies will be involved in handling the bird flu virus, contingent on how widespread it ultimately becomes. I don't believe FEMA is one of them. The most obvious choice is the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. In any event, under the present administration, I wouldn't trust FEMA to handle the common cold.


When I say I say decent, I mean absolutely no rodents whatsoever, preferably hard wood floors, and in a safe neighborhood.

well, that could go anywhere from a $1,000 to $2,000 bucks easily.\n\nhttp://newyork.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/search?areaID=3&subAreaID=0&query=&catAbbreviation=aap&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max&bedrooms=1


I work with the beer store, have a university degree in business.  The company is stagnant, and refuses to hire any more management, even though we are struggling to keep up with the bare essentials in our day to day work, let alone getting anything meaningful done.  We ahd 10 mangers, only 7 remaining, and yet they don't promote or hire anyone.\n\nWhat are my options?

Start shopping the job market, and I don't mean sit on the computer. Get out and go door to door. Companies like to see what type of person you are and how well you handle yourself. See what is out there. See if you get some job offers. If they look good, then I'd use that as leverage in your current job to advance or get a pay raise. If they aren't willing to do it, then go to the new job. Don't waste your time in a company that isn't going anywhere, or is not willing to treat their people well, when that is time you could be investing in an up and coming company with a better atmosphere, and promotion potential.


how high do u think gas prices will b once "dub-ya" decides he wants to start bombing iran and the hurricanes hit this summer? just curious


I met the perfect guy, but his exwife and kids take up so much of his time that he cannot have a sensible relationship with me, one that is fair to both of us.  It has infected so many parts of our relationship.  It has made me slightly bitter to the point I broke it off quite hastily.  Now, I am left picking up the pieces and longing for him.  I am sure I will compare every other guy I meet to him and they won't measure up.  I adored everything about him.  Plus, there is guilt because I hurt him, when I was suppose to be there for him.  I just often felt he couldn't be there for me.  I was suppose to be his fun, but sometimes I just wasn't having any fun.  I feel perminently broken.  I know this guy was special, why couldn't I just accept the circumstances I was handed.  I tried to be the bigger person so many times.  I guess I just failed.  That is always looming in the back of my head, what could I have done differently?

Hey girl...this sucks.  Been there done that.  Questions, questions, questions...  You should always know that when you date a guy that has baggage like that to be prepared to sacrafice.  I am impressed with the fact that he was still into a relationship with his x and kids because that shows his willingness to still let the kids have some normalcy.  I can understand how hard this was for you, and maybe it just wasn't meant to be.  Now, if he was just keeping in touch so he could be close to his x, then you are much better off pulling out of that fight, than staying and losing, which would've happened eventually.  Maybe you should give him a call if he is as great as you say he is, and thoroughly explain to him what's been bothering you.  Tell him exactly how you feel about him, and THEN, go on to how you were feeling when you broke it off. If you guys try to repair the relationship, ask if maybe you two could do some things with the kids alone...no x involved.  Start building a relationship with them.  The kids are going to be there always, and the x too at times.  But, you two should be building a relationship outside of the x with the kids. That is respectful to you, and your relationship with the father. I believe in honesty.  It has bit me in the rear a few times, but at least I could sleep at night.  Best Wishes.


askin for a friend who's always bugging me about it 24/7

i wouldnt i mean you kno i wouldnt do that lol oh yeah nd .. ARGH i can't change who i am arghh grrr


I translate that as "all puns intended."  I tried to form such a group back in the 1980s, but it fell apart.  I figure the crazies who inhabit Y! Answers might be just the ones to start it up again.  Know a good graphic artist who could create the logo?

Tried to form what kind of group? Yes, I would wear a shirt that said that...\n\nI'll make that logo for you if you want...ask around, I'm good!\n\n\nExamples of my work (I hope you can view):


The only remedy that comes to mind are nude pictures of really unattractive women. I suppose all the pointing and snickering at the hospital might have the desired effect too.\n\nAny ideas? Does anyone have any experience?\n\nI'm not planning on a visit but do you have to use your real name at the hospital?

I hear cases such as this one all of the time. It is now common practice at the hospital to insert a video of "Golden Girls" and allow the patient to view Bea Arthur in action. However, it has been found that Rue McClanahan was actually having an adverse effect, so this remedy has now been nixed. \n\nIt has now been determined that watching Hilary Rodham Clinton's speeches have had the same effect in relieving post Viagra'tic Stress Syndrome. \n\nHowever, do note that stealing your roommates wallet and posing as him in order to avoid recognition is fraud and is punishable by having to actually BE in the same room with Hilary Rodham Clinton. My advice to you? Be the bigger man (no pun intended) and stand tall (no pun intended) and rise to the occasion (no pun intended)!!\n\n:)


There are at least 6 or 7 different entries in my taskbar at the lower right hand corner of my desktop, however when I right click for the properties, I don't see any way to remove the ones that I don't want....it looks so cluttered.  Hopefully one of you mighty fine computer gurus will be able to assist me......smiles

you are talking about those programs that start up when you turn your pc on ? if so go to start> run> type in msconfig then so to the startup tab you will see all the programs that load up when you start you can disable them from there, just double check which programs you are disabling :) then click apply and restart and the programs you clicked off are not loaded...


My teacher give me much assignment that make me cannot sleep for two days. Any suggestion to help me?

face that circumstances, that is your challenge and training because someday when you'll finish your studies and you will have a job for you, and then you will have so much work to do so you'll have to work it over time, you can be easily adjust it because of your experience. don't just give up...that's normal. i'm also studying in a university and i already experienced more than that, i wasn't sleep the whole week, i thought that assignment could kill me but after all, i learned so much in it. i was happy when i got my high grades and now i'm ready to face the next challenge being a student. so, good luck. always think that the more you work hard the more earnings you will have. GOD BLESS


So my house just burned down. The last time he called was from his work. I tried to find him on the computer through a peole search but it all costs money. We are going to have the same number when the house is rebuilt, but her has no way to get ahold of me. I haven't seen him and was going to send him a letter and some pictures but it won't even find an address. I don't know what to do. All of the sited costs money to just get eh infromation tha tincludes humdreds of peole with the exact same name. That won't help because he doesn't have aphone. I was just wondering if there was a site that would actually narrow it down a lot so that I could find his address. I understand why they costs money so that people don't go steal his identity. I really don' tknow where to begin. If anybody can help an any way. That would be great. I understand that it is going to be hard to find a person. It gave so many names. In hipanic culture, you have more than one last name so that makes it even harder.

Is not that bad two last names make things easier for you. If have a social security number the SS offices can help you.


check out this i site i found it online when i was looking to make a site becasue as you all know if you have it built for you they can charge you what ever they want because they know how to do it and you dont. this site even gives you 15 days free with out credit card information it's www.webpiston.com    check it out

That sounded like an ad. The only difference is that it looks like a 5 years old wrote it! Good job!


You know the one that was in the pool and the one that the investigation was about.


I don't have my "save as" option any more when I right click on a link to download from the Internet.  It used to be there, now it's just greyed out.  Any ideas??

Because they put in the script to disable the saving file function. You may need a webpage saver. But since they don't want you to make a copy, just let it be.


i am doing a science proj and i need info or websites on stuff about the constellation virgo. . . . i NEED your help


im not really sure what i want to become , likw what i should go to college for any help?

This has to come from within not from a website.  What are your interests.  You can go to college and get all the major subjects out of the way til you decide.  BUT, if you have NO idea and you are ready for college......well, what have you been doing with your life in the past ??? yrs. instead of dealing with your life?  Think about it and stop wasting your life away and do something with it.  Go with your heart and soul.


I was going to meeting about yr ago but stop going.. I would real like to chat with some sister older or younger.. I have some ??? I would like to ask you all.. I trust you all more then I do the brother.. I left B/C the brother did want to listen to me all that well..

Assuming that the person asking is female. It is absolutely fine for YOU to speak with a sister. Make sure that this sister is mature. Maturity does not always mean in age. An eleder that you feel comfortable with could point you to a sister that might be of help. Or simply look for a sister that has a smile and seems like a caring person. Woman are valued in Jehovah's eyes. In Jehovah's organization, they a a beauty to see. Woman are leading the preaching work worldwide with all there energy. A precious gift from God woman are. This is how the Watchtower Society views woman. As you know, there are woman of the annointed class. So, why would Jehovah hold you back from confiding in a woman? We are all tools from Jehovah God. HE ALONE chooses who his spirit moves through. As far as Bills comments, he  has been around. He is a good man, but not sympathetic as he should be. This is why he is not an elder himself. Elders are shephards. Many sheep are wounded from this wicked world. Although not perfect in any way shape or form, they do want to help. This is why there is an elder body. All have qualities that are differant. The idea is to be as balances as we can in this old world. Seek the mature christian sister that you want. Jehovah will guide you.


No it may not be the exact car you are looking for, but be thankful.


To my knowledge, this has never happened.  What do you think would happen?

If it was an assassination attempt, then I would presume that Dick Cheney would assume the role of president, and more importantly, Commander-in-chief, under the 25th amendment.  \n\nImmediately afterwards, Dick and the joint chiefs and NSA/CIA/Homeland Security and others will try to figure out who is responsible for the hit.  Then I would assume that a bunch of missiles and bombs will start to drop on whoever was responsible.\n\nThat would be the scenario if it was a faction or a terrorist group.  If it was a sole gunman in, say, Germany, who just sniped the president, then that is a little more complicated, since I doubt they will bomb Germany for that.  (They might if he was in Pakistan, see the disparity).  If the secret service didn't kill the sniper/gunman then, there would be an allout search for him.  If they ever found him, he'd be extradited to the US, tried in the most publicized trial ever, and if convicted, he'd be executed.\n\nIn any case, if the president died, the VP is president, and they'd have to nominate someone to be the VP (probably a senator).


Why does this catagory even exsist? them two words don't even go together.. ones about money and the other is about telling the truth!. I've YET to see any ethics in LAW

I don't believe they go hand in hand, like cyanne claims, but they are certainly not polar opposites as you seem to claim.  Law is not about money, it is about ethics.  The problem is that law is written by politicians, and politics is about money.  You can group together law and ethics, you can group together law and politics, but you cannot group together politics and ethics.  Law is that which is torn between the two.


okay so i am a sophmore in high school and i have always been good at math. well this year i am taking "Advanced Algebra/Trigonometry" Academic when i am used to honors. This is a junior/senior class. so for the first half of the year we were doing algebra. it was my 4th straight year of an algebra so i was good at it and then when we took a test, i could do 20 out of 23 questions in my head so i just put the answer. and i got half credit on the test, even though i would have gotten a 100, because i "could have cheated" even though i sit right by her desk. \nso anyway i wasnt doing my homework and then finally, last week we moved into Trig and i LOVED it. but then since we first started, i have had 1 homework assignment and have been ASKING her for more book work and she isnt giving it to me. \nis there something wrong with this picture? a student being able to do problems in there head and getting half credit?and a student basically pleding for homework and the them?

Sounds to me like your new trig teacher is stupid and doesn't see your potential and she might be afraid that you might actually be smarter than her.  As for algebra alot of the teachers do require showing your work on test is shows that you understand the problem and are able to preform all steps to get it.  I know in your case you can do them in your head but the work always needs to be shown.  Keep at it and try going to a tutor or when you turn old enough take a higher math course at a community college and get your extra homework from them.  Good Luck and i hope all goes well.


well were 2 start i fell inlove with this lad who i was really good mates with before but then one thing lead to another on night and we started seeing each other for about 4 months. things were going great untill to many people got invole and i found out i was having his baby. when i told him he didt no how to take it so he asked if i would give him time to think . as before him already told me he didt want anymore as he has 3 already with a girl he love to bits and fucked his head up big time.i already had 2 of my own on my own so this was the worst thing to happen but i was looking foward to having it. then all my mate and his mates told me to  get rid . i was listening to every1 but my self. not that i got rid!!!! the lad say he would be there 4 the baby. then i started bleeding and thought i was losing the baby so when i found out i was`t i just keep up that i lost it as every1 lefed me alone as my life was back to normal. but no the lad who i care a lot about keeps ask question.

First of all, winning his heart has nothing to do with having that baby.  To do with winning his heart.  I am assuming that you know him well enough to know what his feelings for you are.  If not just talk to him about it.  As for the baby I sure hope that the decision you made to keep it was for the right reasons and that you are prepared to raise it without this lad.  Don't mix the two together and start telling the truth and to hell with both of your mates or so called mates.


I'm an interior designer by trade and haven't been able to find a job in almost a year.  I am looking/have been looking for a job the entire time, but when it comes down to the interview, the same two questions always comes up.  Why haven't you worked in the past year?  Why did you leave your last job?  Then I never hear from the employer again.  Truth is I quit my last job because I didn't like the way management was running the store (was a retail sales position) and I wasn't getting along with the assistant manager.  So my question is what is the best response to these questions?  I'm hoping to recieve a well qualified answer from someone who has been through this or from someone who would be hiring in this field.

Go get this book, either at the library or at the bookstore.  It's awesome.\n\n"How to Answer Tough Interview Questions" by Martin John Yate.\n\nYou'll sail through your next interview.


I deffinatly would. She did so much for Mexican-Americans its unbelievable! She should American who we are and what we can be. I'd bet money that if she were still her there wouldn't be as much violence and bad crap in the world. Everyone loved/loves Selena. She was so nice and caring that you couldn't not like her. She will always be apart of me and who I am.

I would definitely say she was in the Hispanic world, even Mexico accepted  her, and that's not easy for any American artist, but she hadn't quite made the English crossover yet, which I'm not saying she wouldn't have, unfortunately, she was horribly murdered before she did.

I recently got a shot about a day before my period came. (it was for an eye infection) and, my period didn't come know for a fact I am not pregnant, so if anyone could verify is this is due to the shot?\n\nThanks!

Sounds to me like, yes its from  the shot, however missed periods occur for many reasons.  Your age, your weight, activity, sex, and medical reasons all play a part in missed periods.  I think it best to consult your doctor, and check on the side effects of the shot you took.  Best of Luck to you!!

If you want to use another word to replace the word idea, what word will you use?what is an idea and where an idea come from?

thoughts, concepts, brainstorms, inspirations, inventions, memes.\n\nThe ancient Greeks believed that ideas came from one or another Muse; a group of demigoddesses who acted as patrons of the arts and were responsible for inspiration.\n\nThese days, the more prevalent belief is that ideas arise from the subconscious.  Your brain is constantly busy collating and cross-referencing information, looking for patterns and relationships.  Every now and then, a "hit" is made that's exciting enough to get the attention of your conscious mind.\n\nCreative people recommend that when you're trying to find a solution to a problem, gather all the pertinent information you can get, study it and think about it in as much detail as you can; then drop it for a while.  Let your mind roam free and play around.  You can even "sleep on it," and often when you wake up your mind will have found a solution to the problem.\n\nRichard Dawkins invented the word "meme" to describe how ideas often act just like living organisms; how they are born, reproduce, run their lifespan and/or mutate.\n\nA couple of good films on ideas, if you can find them:  "Why Man Creates" and "The Creative Spirit."  The latter was on PBS a few years ago, so it may be possible to find it on video.


first nite of honeymoon was great ! the next 4 weeks she refused me sexually.\n  one excuse after another.these last 12 years have been the same i have to beg like a dog.\n  She just does not like it at all.

If it has been the same for 12 years why did you marry her.  You knew what you where getting into.


My husband likes to eat raw spaghetti noodles. I remember my mother telling me as a child that it isn't good for you and you can get worms from eathing them. True?

No, raw pasta isnt the direct cause of worms. But it is true that if you ALREADY have worms, parasites or ameobas, they will feed themselves from it and make them harder to dissapear. Doctors recomend not to eat pasta or bread when you have parasites untill you are completely rid of them.

They have a lot of great young talent and a few veterans. Paul Pierce is in his prime and will probably only have another 5 years of greatness.

No. The Celtics did a good job in getting Wally for Ricky Davis, however, Wally makes alot of money for what he does. The Celtics have no interior defense or offensive post presence what so ever. The Kandiman isn't exactly going to get the job done. Paul Pierce can't do everything by himself. Now there new gm has done a decent job. I hope he can do better at building a team than he did as the Suns head coach. Danny Ainge was a good player, he had alot of heart, I hope he can do something with the Celtics. The Celtics are in need of a point guard and a power foward big time. The problem they have is I doubt they can attract free agents. They do however have two first round draft picks.

You were born under the sign of Libra which is very good. Although indecisive. You weigh things in the balance before commiting to anything. Nursing or teaching would be good career wise. Libras are sometimes misunderstood and are underestimated to what they can achieve. I know all this because I am also a Libra. You will do well. Have confidence in yourself. Good Luck''

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a specific strain of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium that has developed antibiotic resistance to all penicillins, including methicillin and other narrow-spectrum β-lactamase-resistant penicillin antibiotics. It was first discovered in the UK in 1961 and is now widespread, particularly in the hospital setting where it is commonly termed a superbug.\n\nMRSA may also be known as oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) and multiply-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.\n\nNon-methicillin resistant strains of S. aureus are sometimes called methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) if an explicit distincition must be made.\n\nMicrobiology\nMethicillin resistance is conferred by the mecA gene. Expression of this gene yields PBP2a, a penicillin binding protein with reduced affinity for β-lactam rings (the primary active-site of the β-lactam antibiotics).\n\nSome strains of S. aureus over-express β-lactamase and appear to be resistant to oxacillin and, rarely, methicillin despite being mecA-negative. They have slightly raised minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and may thus be described as "minimally resistant". Other strains express modified PBPs (not PBP2) and exhibit varying degrees of β-lactam antibiotic resistance.\n\n\nClinical presentation and concerns\nS. aureus most commonly colonises the anterior nares (the nostrils) although the respiratory tract, open wounds, intravenous catheters and urinary tract are also potential sites for infection.\n\nMRSA infections are usually asymptomatic in healthy individuals and may last from a few weeks to many years. Patients with compromised immune systems are at significantly greater risk of a symptomatic secondary infection.\n\n\nTreatment and infection control initiatives\nVancomycin and teicoplanin are glycopeptide antibiotics used to treat MRSA infections. These drugs are administered intravenously. Several new strains of the bacterium have been found showing antibiotic resistance even to vancomycin and teicoplanin; those new evolutions of the MRSA bacteria are dubbed "vancomycin intermediate-resistant Staphylococcus aureus" (VISA). Linezolid, quinupristin/dalfopristin, daptomycin, tigecycline are more recent additions to the therapeutic arsenal, generally reserved for severe infections which do not respond to glycopeptides. Less severe infections may be treated by oral agents including: linezolid, rifampicin+fusidic acid, pristinamycin, co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole), doxycycline, and clindamycin.\n\nAt the end of August 2004, after a successful pilot scheme to tackle MRSA, the British National Health Service announced its Clean Your Hands campaign. Wards will be required to ensure that alcohol-based hand rubs are placed near to all beds so that staff can hand wash more regularly. It is thought that if this cuts infection by just 1% the plan will pay for itself many times over. Health care workers in the United States are reportedly largely neglecting the simple-yet-effective practice of hand-washing, despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s report that hand-washing alone would save the lives of roughly 30,000 patients per year, not from MRSA alone, but from all nosocomial infections\n\n\nEpidemiology\nBecause cystic fibrosis patients are often treated with multiple antibiotics in hospital settings, they are often colonised with MRSA, potentially increasing the rate of life-threatening MRSA pneumonia in this group. The risk of cross-colonisation has led to increased use of isolation protocols among these patients.\n\nIn the US there are increasing reports of outbreaks of MRSA colonisation and infection through skin contact in locker rooms and gymnasiums, even among healthy populations. MRSA causes as many as 20% of Staphylococcus aureus infections in populations that use intravenous drugs. These out-of-hospital strains of MRSA, now designated a

I know there are urine tests and hair tests that can be done to test this. Additionally I know the various symptoms but what I am loooking for is something different. Is there something people who are high or have used it allergic to or any home type of tests that can be done without the person you are testing knowing what you are doing?

I know you can use saliva or blood.  Although, this is kind of hard to test for without the person knowing.  I have done a lot of research in this subject.  Any type of DNA sample works, it is just a matter of how much you are willing to pay to find out this information.  Urine is the cheapest at about $20 for a test.

Is it weird that I like guys? I mean isn't that just how i feel. Also if any bi girls see this. Where can I go to see gay porn? Whats the youngest age of people I can see?

There is nothing wrong with being gay, but there is something wrong when it comes to wanting to abuse a child. I think that you need help. If you are an older guy then why dont you just find a freshly turned eighteen year old, that is the youngest by law that you can be with.


This question is not about my marriage.It is pertaining to someone very dear to me.I am at a loss for words now.I don't know what to tell her anymore to help her through this.Would YOU stay with your spouse?I should note that she holds no anger or remorse against the baby.

It happened to me. My husband and my sister no less.  It ruined my marriage, even after 28 years I haven't forgiven him.  He ended up with a terminal illness- Multiple Sclerosis for 15 years. He passed away in 2004. I felt like I had to stay and help him.  His actions affected my relationship with my older son and my sister...not that she was worth a second chance. But, I did try.  My mother, father, and baby sister didn't talk to me for 15 years- yea, like it was my fault. My brother and I remained estranged until he passed away. All I did was stay with the guy.  Big mistake! My younger son is not really part of the family every one shuns him because he looks like my husband. My sister's daughter ended up being an outcast and tried to commit suicide twice. What should you do?  Move on...make a life for yourself, find someone that respects you and loves you for who you are now... don't wait it will only hurt you! I am 53 back in college and making a life for myself for the first time. I have never been happier. I plan on traveling and staying alive! With as much enthusiasum as possible..If you need to have someone beside you I am sure that there will be that certain someone around the corner.  For myself, I just love being myself. One day maybe I'll meet someone but, for now my happiness and peace of mind it what counts to me.


The rate Of EURO Agaist teh USD is 1.21 today. Is there any chances that the price will be down by next week. What are the Parameteres to guess it in advance ?

Follow the 10 year treasury bond.  If interest rates in the US go up, then this attracts $$$ to dollar denominated investments which makes the $$$ stronger against other currencies.  \n\nIn the last week, it has moved from 4.65% to 4.85%.  The trend is for higher rates, but anything can happen in a week.  You can follow the bonds on yahoo finance, symbol ^TNX.  When you get a quote, you move the decimal point one place to the left and you have the yield.\n\nGood luck!!


i've known this friend of mine for 6yrs. now and i've liked this guy for 4 of those years well every time i would mention his name she  would act grosed out . well today @ school he was gonna ask me out, and he told her , so she asked him out !! i guess cause she can't have me happy.. should i be her friend still?!?!?!

i would tell her how you felt and move on .


Would you perfer Italin, or Latino boys???

Have never known an italian....but have dated several Latinos.  My daughter's father is hispanic.  They can have their good and bads, just like any man.  Latinos, at least the ones I know, are very family oriented and loving.  However there are some that expect the woman to do woman things and the man to do manly things.  So therefore some have the expectation that you cook, clean, take care of the kids, etc.  If you are a traditional person you might find this comforting.  If you are more liberal....then I would try another race.\n\nI have also seen some that can very big asses.  Like I said that is in all races.  Try one of each and base your decision on that :-)


Hello, I have been dating my girlfriend for almost a year now and we have been getting really serious in our relationship. When I start to hug, kiss, and feel on her and after a while maybe one minute she says she starts to get this funny feeling. She said it feels like it starts in her stomach and ends up in her whole body and makes her want to do stuff. She said she likes the feeling so is this like an orgasm or something?

She really likes what you are doing to her and it makes her hormones run wild. She is lucky to have you. You must be a real stud to make her feel that way without the 2 of you actually doing it. I wish i had a guy like that.


So my computer's harddrive suddenly started clicking.  Not the standard random speedy clicks you normally hear but a very rhythmic click-click-click-click.  this goes on for a couple minutes then stops and works normally for a short period then. click click click click click click etc etc....  this just started out of the blue. its a relatively new computer..  anyone got any ideas?

The armature  of your hard drive might not be working properly and this generally leads to this clicking noise. \n\nSuggestion.\nPlease backup your data as your hard drive will stop working as soon as S.M.A.R.T monitoring in bios reports Failed and thisgenerally happens witing 3 to 4 weeks after the noise starts coming from the HDD(It actually depends the way and time for hich you use your computer).\nIf your had drive is in warrenty then give  it to you hardware vendor .. it will be replaced.

What are rosary beads used for?  \nHow are they used? \nWhere did the idea to use rosary beads start? \nWhat denominations primarily use rosary beads?

I think there's 108, and actually they stole it off the Buddhists. (mala beads) For Buddhists they're used to help with meditation, prayer, whatever you want! For Catholics they're used for a specific prayer, whatever you want to specify, be it a Hail Mary or the Lord's Prayer, you just close your eyes and rub a bead for each time you say your prayer.\n\nOh and of course they can be made! That would be wonderful. You should check out the manufactured ones first to understand how to make one. I think it's 10 beads and then one of a different color, and the one of a different color is supposed to illicit a different prayer (I think) I'm going to try to find the site that I got a few free rosaries off of, I'll let you know.\n\nHere's where you can get freebies: \nhttp://www.familyrosary.org/main/rosary-rosaries-contact.php

I've never been to a volleyball tournament before, although I enjoy playing and watching the sport on TV.  I live in San Diego and was planning to drive up to Huntington Beach for the AVP match there in late May.  It'd be nice to see some of the more famous players but I think I would have fun watching the high level of play regardless.  Does it get really crowded and do I have to camp out for a seat?  Can I see big stars on Saturday as well?

I went to the qualifying match last year at the tournament by sea world. (in San Diego) It was very crowded but the people i saw weren't really names I've heard of. I noticed Misty May and Kerry Walsh had go at like 8:00 in the morning. but that was the only time i went. it wasn't very crowded. just grabbed a seat in front of the court i chose to watch and had fun :-) I hope this helps.


Are bacterial infections serious if gone untreated and does anyone know what the underlying cause may be?

Clindesse is prescribed for bacterial vaginosis.\n\nThe cause of BV is not fully understood. BV is associated with an imbalance in the bacteria that are normally found in a woman's vagina. The vagina normally contains mostly "good" bacteria, and fewer "harmful" bacteria. BV develops when there is an increase in harmful bacteria.\n\nNot much is known about how women get BV. There are many unanswered questions about the role that harmful bacteria play in causing BV. Any woman can get BV. However, some activities or behaviors can upset the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina and put women at increased risk including:\n\n    * Having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners,\n    * Douching, and\n    * Using an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception.\n\nIt is not clear what role sexual activity plays in the development of BV. Women do not get BV from toilet seats, bedding, swimming pools, or from touching objects around them. Women that have never had sexual intercourse are rarely affected.\n\nI've included a link to tell you more about it and a link regarding the safety of Clindesse.\n\nI've also included a link to an alternative medicine method of treating this in the future (I don't believe in conventional medicine with all its side effects)


have spoke to him 3 times and i have also told that we had sex and i wl not marry other girl as i feel she is my wife. Though telling this her father is telling that he will take this issue to his relations and if they accept he will accept for our marriage else he will not. Iam unable 2 think a life without her and she loves me like anything. For the past 20 days they are not letting her outside(even to office) and not giving the phone calls to her. She also not made any call still now and iam getting mad. Iam a typical guy who always think only one girl in my life and i don't want to take my life with some other girl. Her father told to me that he will go to his native in april and let me know the output in the month of may. I think he will prob take her to native and live her there. I don't know her native place also. I want to talk to her but if they come to iam in the line the problem will explode much. Pls advice what to do in this regard. Thxin advance for ur help and advice.

Wow. Um, depending on where you live, if she's 18, she can do whatever the hell she wants, so if she' snot 18 yet, ride it out, and then run away together. Do what you have to do to be happy with the one you love.


I really didn't want classical.  I'm thinking about one of the Buddha Lounge compilations, something instrumental or with vocals but not distracting!

maybe some soundtracks? Howard Shore, hans zimmer, \n\nor some incendio?


The African Fighting Cats!!! hehe\nthat was the first thing that came to me. :)


What does the profession involve on a day-to-day basis, and how much does it typically pay per year?

Deacon Blues is correct, except that I would add that sometimes, they work directly with a company, such as a pharmaceutical company.\n\nThey advise companies on WHERE and WHEN to place their ads for achieving the communications objectives established.\n\nThe day-to-day work will likely be detail-oriented as there is a lot of quantitative research to be done. CARD is the reference book, it contains information on all the magazines etc. along with their readership details, demographics, etc.\n\nAt a higher level, a media executive will be involved in writing out a strategic media plan for the client. This is more interesting work, but still there is a lot of details.\n\nMedia work is quantitative, not creative like advertising work (i.e. creating TV or print ads).\n\nThis being said, some small media companies can be quite creative in creating new media opportunity (like the people who created a network of ad spaces in men's bathrooms!).\n\nRegarding the pay, don't get your hopes up because it's not fabulous pay. But if you like the work, it should not matter.\n\nGood luck!


life insurance policies on the deciseds joe g. ward

If you are trying to find a lost life insurance policy, here is some good information: http://www.findlocalinsurance.com/lostlife.html


I am allergic to over the counter medications, cough syrups, and anything with dibromo- something or other.  I take guafessin and sudaphed but, now my ears are all plugged.  Have had this cold for one month!

You should definately look into acupuncture.  It helps to resolve sinus infections speedily.  You can also take OTC immune boosters like Vitamins A, C, E, Zinc, Goldenseal (don't take it for more than a week straight without taking a week off!).  Bayberry is a decongestant and astringent.  Rose hips are a good source of vitamin C.  You can try eating a tablespoon of horseradish or some other extremely spicy food, this typically clears out the sinuses.  Ephedra (the herbal formulation is very safe if taken as recommeded) will help speed up the white blood cells and help them kill the infection faster.  I am not 100% sure it is back on the market and if it is, I don't know how easily you can find it.  As with any herbal or dietary changes make sure you read all warnings on the product literature and abide by the dosing instructions.


Happiness or money? If the richer and more powerful economies of the world, like the USA cut down on subsidies they put on imports and gave the money to Africa.. a lot less people would die.. a lot less will starve..  There are people in the world who eat lavish meals and throw away good food just because it either isn't nice or they just aren't hungry.. how about the rest of the world? They don't have food.. they live on dirty, contaminated water and little bits of food.. which we wouldn't ever touch.. is the world getting more unequal as we speak? Why do we crave money? Why do people go to ruthless measures just to earn money that we might not ever use? We all die in the end.. why are we all so materialistic? Why is human nature so cruel, so uncaring and so selfish? Odd..

Competition always makes for a better society.  Simply because people always are looking for cheaper, but better...and they usually get it.  \n\nProgress like I just mentioned has lead to transgenic foods...food that is genetically modified.  Americans are eating genetically modified foods faster than they can let their belts out.  Many countries in the world that have hunger problems won't readily accept genetically modified foods, no matter how fat Americans are getting from it.\n\nIn Africa for instance, genetically modified food sits and rots because the people think its poison.  Warehouses full of staples for preventing hunger.  Someone should go and educate these people.


why don't you try www.mythman.com? I have found it very interesting especially since it is humorous and gives a modern twist on old legends(not that the old legends were boring in any way!).


They have the best health care benefits in the world.  Must be nice.

People complain NON STOP about our President....Our countries REAL issue lies with our Congress and Representatives......Come on AMERICA.....make your elected officials tow the rope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Their Health Care Plan is only a tiny piece of the pie that our elected officials are ripping from each and every one of us, each and every day!!!


i have been wondering when the first music is born, where is the place, and how the first music is created also who was the one created it.. also what is the first genre ever made in our world..

It was a caveman named Og who first created music by hitting rocks with sticks. He created rock music.


i mean.. a hacker who does simple crimes like cracking or hacking mails .. so if he is caught then what are the punishments he could have from Police or will he be jailed or fined?

It would depend upon where the hacker entered and location of the computer and the age of the hacker.  There are both federal and state laws, many of which are very complex (see sites below for examples).\nAt best is a slap on the hand and probation.  Both jail time and fines are possible.  At worst is multiple felony charges and decades behind bars with no computer access.  Especially in these days of “terrorist activities” it is possible to be charged seriously for even the most minor offense.


He wqill not tell me anything. Im stuck on what could possibly be romantic for him and me and not be so mushy and girly, something that will make him feel the love I have for him. something where he would kno without a shadow of a doubt I did this for him and only him!!! HELP!!!!!!!!

it really depeneds on what type of person he is.  an almost sure way of doing it is something sexual because men a very sexual but it needs to be something special.  if he has a specific fantasy that you could fufil or a outfit you could wear...most men love black.  or if he is a more sensitive person you can always make him a bath or get him flowers, i know that might sound like something only a woman would enjoy however allot of men would respond to that.  also you can always cook for him or order in a catered meal if you dont cook.  the always say "a way to a mans heart is through his stomach."  but really you know him better than anyone else and whatever you decide to do will be perfect i am sure.  finally consider that sometimes men will give subtle hints as to what they want so try to pick up on those.


I am writing a defense half of a criminal case against Macbeth in the tragedy Macbeth.

In real life, you would have a state (or foreign country's)law that explained what the prosecution needs to prove for murder (so you could show how the prosecution will fail to prove one or more parts of the crime), and probably also laws that describe what you would need to show for various defenses (such as insanity) in case the prosecution proved Macbeth did it.  But I don't know if they gave you any laws to use for your project.  (Will there be an actual jury deciding the case?  If so, will they be given instructions about murder and insanity?  If so, you would probably like to see those ahead of time, so you will know what you will be trying to convince them of.)\n\nAnyway, in general, I think you want to think through what your case will be like (who will the witnesses be, and what you believe they will say), and give a good overview to the jury, so they will understand what is going on.  If everthing you say will be backed up by testimony in the case, you are on good footing.  (You can actually tell the jury about the specific witnesses they will hear from.)  And if you can also sum up your whole position in one or two sentences that give the gist of why Macbeth should be found not guilty, that can help a lot.\n\nSince you are going second with your opening statement, you can also listen to the prosecutor's opening statement first.  If you have good responses to some of his or her points, you can try to work those into your opening statement.  That's hard (because you have to think of it at the last minute, right before you stand up, and decide where to mention it in your opening statement), but it can be really impressive.  And maybe you can kind of guess what the prosecutor will say ahead of time, so you can get a big head start on that.\n\n-------\nSince you said it's all written work, maybe try (if possible) to do the analysis of the accusations first.  Then do the closing, based on the analysis.  Then do the opening statement last, when you will know what your analysis is and where it's leading.  Then you really can "preview" your case in the opening statement, as Uppity suggested.\n\nIt would still be nice to know what the exact laws are, but if there aren't any given, you can probably base the analysis on facts from the play, general knowledge about murder and/or insanity, and what seems fair and right.  If you were on a jury, what are the things that would make you want to acquit Macbeth?


My ex said he had been trying for years to get our address and the "State" told him that someone had filed papers preventing him from getting our address. He said a detective and an FBI agent had found us, but the government had told the agent and detective that a court ordered them not to reveal it. Is there such a thing? I did not file for anything other that the normal divorce and child support. I was on AFDC (welfare) and they eventually found him and started garnishing his wages. email me for more info if you wish. Thanks! :-)

It sounds like a "No Contact Order." Which can be issued against a convicted abuser. The Prosecution would need to fear for your safety.\n\nIf this isn't the case. . .


I'm begining to start a website. I want it to be full of music, movies, and games. The movies I will get episodes of Family Guy from youtube.com. The games I will get from my hosting service. \nBut for the music, I own a hundred CD's. Can I upload them onto my webserver and have people listen to them? (Not download, just online listening).

I think it's legal!  Disc Jockeys play mucic C.D.s at bars and clubs don't they?   The Librarian can copy copyrighted books for you at $.25 per page. You can sell a used paperback book at a yard sale and not be arrested!  That's copyrighted material.\n\nI don't see the difference.  But you may want to get permission first, just to be safe.


I normally rock back and forth in public when I'm overwhelmed and don't know how to handle the stress. It calms me down. I've been told this is because of my Autism. In your opinion, is rocking in public normal? And/or is rocking normal?

Your profile said you have high-functioning Autism so I would think that is where the rocking comes from.\n\nNo - it's not "normal,"  but I wouldn't worry about that if the calming benefit outwieghs the odd reactions you may get from people who don't know you.  \n\nIf you are around friends & family, don't worry about it.  They know you & shouldn't judge.\n\nIf you are dealing with new people at work,  I'd find another stress reliever, at least until you know them better & can explain that you might just have a few unique mannerisms.\n\nBut if you are around total strangers, why worry about what they think?  Do what ever works.\n\nPS - Your profile said "email me" but it didn't have a link or address.  I'd love to discuss autism with you.  My neice & nephew are low-funtioning autism (no speech) but I haven't known anyone (that I know of) with high-funtiong autism.


Lets just go to Washington D.C. and tell our leaders we want to have an Islamic Government. Lets topple the vatican and substitute it for The Dome of the Rock.Lets go to Vider, Texas and rid out the K.K.K. and re-establish the black panthers. Lets take our fort bragg and put up fort Osama. Every American woman can change their last names to Ra- Hibbi and have sons and daughters loyal to the quran. Lets admit it, we already get taken in by them and their sweet loving ways. Besides Muslims didnt commit 911 it was the Americans making it up. Come on you Americans know you dont want the constitution anymore- you want Islam as your laws. Come on, lets admit it !


has anybody heard of these twin sisters who sings these rasist (some might say pro white or nationalist) songs i never seen or heard anything like this in my life. have you? do you know any more singers like this?

I have heard of them and saw them perform on some news program.  They are purely racist--not just nationalist or proud of their heritage.  They are preposterous and they will live unhappy, unfulfilled lives.


I'm 28 and I have tried everything -I'm too old to be dealing with this anymore - I give up on believing its just going to go away on its own. So please let me know if it worked for any of you out there - I dont know anyone personally who has tried it

I've tried it twice and both times it has worked for a few months.  I'm not sure if my skin just develops a tolerance to it or what happens, but after a few months it just stops working.  I finally gave in and saw a dermatologist who prescribed Retin-A micro.  I've been using that for 4 months now and have seen a significant improvement.  (I started seeing improvement after 2 weeks.)


I'm doing a report and I can't seem to find any information on Filipino traditions, customs, or superstitions. I need to know what the tradition (custom or superstition) is, when they use it, and why. Is there any links to a website that you know of that contains info like this?

Filipinos are known for their hospitality and respect for elders!


I was wondering if anyone knew how to delete those sites?  I tried to right click to delete them but it doesn't work.  Is there a way or do they just stay they there for months?

This is an auto-complete option in Explorer.\n\nTo delete, select Tools - Internet Options - Content - Autocomplete\n\nUncheck the boxes you want to delete and they will go away and not come back.\n\nYou can also delete browsing history by selecting Tools - Internet Options - General ( Browsing History ) - Delete.\n\nThis will give you a number of privacy options you can delete.

My mom ate sushi today, and she feels really sick and pale. She says her stomach hurts very much. It seems that she is allergic to avocado because everything she eats that has avocado causes her to have big stomach aches and she feels really sick. How can I help her and what can help her! Thank you to everyone that can help me...today is my persian new year and i feel really bad seeing her sick..! It makes me cry. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!

Avocados contain enzymes called chitinases that can cause allergic reactions in people with latex sensitivities. Studies have shown a strong association between latex allergies and allergic reactions to avocado. The treatment of avocados with ethylene gas to induce ripening can increase the presence of these allergenic enzymes. Individuals with latex allergy should avoid eating avocados in cooked or raw form. However, if you really love avocados, some evidence suggests that cooked forms of this food may be acceptable for allergy-sensitive individuals since cooking can deactivate the enzymes that may be responsible for the cross-reaction with latex.\n\nYou really should get your mom to a doctor.

They've has medical robots able to perform simple tasks such as giving a shot since the 1970's. Today, they are being built to assist doctors in precision operations, which decreases risk to patients by reducing error and helping ensure a more rapid recovery. They cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, to millions, especially the new ones. Consequences, well back in the 70's it was felt people would never trust a robot, and demanded the human touch. The tasks robots are performing today are done in operations with a doctors direction and when the patient would be under anesthetize anyway. The result will be better health care, and less human error.


Does anyone have any tips on how to handle a micro-managing boss?

I just recollected that I read a query on this in career journel- then I found and now reproducing it for you :\n\nHow to Deal With A Micromanaging Boss \n  \n \nBy Deb Koen  \n\nQuestion: I'm a communications director with a major nonprofit group, and after a career change two years ago, this is a job I really enjoy. My commitment level is at an all-time high, but I have a problem. My boss is an extremely controlling person who micromanages every detail of the business (even though she's given me lots of autonomy). I truly respect, admire and like her, and although she's demanding, she's generally fair. She's got an open door and an open mind, and while I've been able to approach her about a variety of work-related issues, this one is much trickier. How can I approach her to discuss this professionally, without implying that she's both stifling and annoying?\n-- Angela, New York\n\n\n\nAngela: Most micromanagers, especially those who seem to be good bosses otherwise, tend to be perfectionists who simply need to be sure that you're doing your job at the same performance level that they expect for their own work. The best way to keep your boss from meddling is to keep her really well informed. If you both have e-mail, try creating an update that you send at the beginning or end of each day outlining where you are on various projects, and the results as you have them. This puts you back in control of the information and your projects, yet helps your boss feel comfortable that you're on top of your job and don't need constant oversight. Before you start these updates, meet with your boss to explain in a positive way why you think this approach will help your productivity and effectiveness, and ask for her input (perhaps there's an aspect of your job that your boss values more than you do). These updates will create a little extra work for you, but that's usually a fair trade-off for keeping your boss out of your hair.


I'd like to know if there's a law or rule (especially in California) regarding the time between the death and the life insurance payout.

Here is a link to the California Department of Insurance website specifically relating to claims payment issues:


That Some People pick the "best answer" on what they wanted to hear not really on what really is the best answer...\n\nI ask this here because I have seen this happen here.

Working on the basis of your question, you best answer will be one that agrees with you.\nBut if you are pointing it out because you disagree with this practice then your best answer will be one that disagrees with you.\nBut then you would be condoning the very practice you disagree with.\n\nWell, I will be waiting for your decision with baited breath!


He is from Morocco and my husband has a job waiting for him

You can't do that unless the job your husband has for him is in a professional capacity.  In which case he would file for an H1B visa (form I-129) with DHS.  \n\nThey aren't immigrants until they have an immigrant visa or have received status...until then they are aliens.


I have been obsessing over one girl and just now got over her.

Well first of all you should have told the girl that you like now that you like her. Or if u dont feel like telling her and make the girl tell her feelings to u then try to hang out with the girl u like and then increase ur relationship with her to make her know u like her.

I'm wondering if anyone can point me to other combined park/residential spaces in Silicon Valley similar to the park area near Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. Most specifically, I'm looking for small to medium-sized park spaces that are well-landscaped and reasonably close to residential neighborhoods.

I'm not familiar with that area, but I would search the web for your local Land Trusts, Greenbelt Alliance rep, Nature Conservatory, Audubon, or public Open Space District, and then pick their brains and get more referrals from them.  There are often preserved open spaces that are not publicized due to limitations in budgets for providing public access.  Some properties have public outings for scheduled access, others allow public access after docent or permit trainings, and some have all-access trails.  Good luck!

You have to solve for one and substitue into the other...\n\nLets solve for x...\n\n2x + 3y = 40 \n2x = 40 - 3y\nx = (40 - 3y)/2\n\nThen Substitute in the other.\n-2x + 2y = 20\n-2(40 - 3y)/2 + 2y = 20  (the 2's in the first set cancel becaue 2/2 = 1 so...\n-(40-3y) + 2y = 20  (then distribute the -)\n-40 + 3y + 2y = 20 (combine like terms)\n5y = 60\ny =12\n\nThen sub y into the equation to find x\n\n 2x + 3y = 40 \n2x + 36 = 40\n2x = 4\nx=2\n\nDouble Check in the other equation...\n-2x + 2y = 20\n-2(2) + 2(12) = 20\n-4 + 24 = 20\n20 = 20 These equal so x=2 and y=12!


Hello I just want to chat with someone who lives where it snows. I need help with my report on seasons on the snow!! If you can help me please do so!!!

I think Wisconsin qualifies?\nAll our snow is gone!\n\n\nTommy
