Good beginner dirtbike?

Like Kevin said, you don't buy a full sized dirt bike based on your height. 125's do tend to be taller than a 450F, but they are all within an inch or so of being the same height. So here's the deal, forget about how tall you are, that makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. Obviously at 6'3" you need a full sized bike which means 125/250 2 stroke or 250/450 4 stroke. First off, no 2 stroke race bike is a good beginners bike, there are in fact horrible beginners bikes. A 450F is only for very experienced racers or someone over 200 pounds. Since you are neither of those things your choice is quite simple...a 250F. You should not even consider a 450F in your wildest dreams. I own a RM125, CRF250R and CRF450R and ride a YZ250 on a very regular basis so I am very familiar with the power characteristics of all 4.

Wii Online Gaming 91010?

How can this mysterious sound come out of a D guitar chord? Sounds like a high-octave FA.?

I was trying to play (trying because I'm no good) the Zephyr Song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and noticed that I emulated that last chord quite well (just an ordinary D)... But that high FA sound isn't in any of the simple D chord I struck? WTF? How can it happen? Someone explain this to me? Not really good at acoustics (or music for that matter)

How can i get a 'hazy' or diffused effect on photos?

i have a canon FTb QL, in case it matters. I also don't want any photoshop tricks...i already know how to use that. I wan to get that hazy soft glow purely out of film. Either black and white or color, both would be phenomenal. i have a 35mm a 50mm and i believe a 100 or 120 mm. I think a lot of it, besides lighting of course, is depth of field, but getting it explained would help a lot. Thanks in advance to everyone who answers =]

I am looking for a lot to build a home. I found two lots. One in Middle County (East Brunswick) and the other is in Somerset County (Bridgewater).

Let me know. Thanx.

(T-Mobile) Blackberry vs. Iphone question.?

Quick question. I use to have the Iphone with AT&T. I switch to a Blackberry with T-mobile cause they offer a UMA network that works only off WIFI. The reason I need this is because at home I have no service due to living in thew middle of nowhere. So on my Blackberry i can still send and receive texts and make phones calls and such. A friend of mine was telling me that his Iphone can do this to but when I had mine it never did? So can you use an Iphone on just wi-fi send a receive texts and make phone calls with out an app?

Need some help with weaning?

You poor thing, its more difficult than it sounds isnt it...if it were me, id leave the jars for a couple of days if its upsetting him...end of, if he's still ok with breakfast give it to him at lunch time, and dinner as well if your worried about him not eating enough, also try baby yogurts...and plenty of milk, or otherwise...after a couple of days hopefully he'll have forget all about the 'wrong food' incident! my baby did exactly the same, he's 7 months, and i changed his food from stage 1 (totally pureed) to stage 2, (lumpy)...well, he gagged and cryed and cryed and gagged....i thought i'd better leave it for a another week or two so went back on to his stage 1 jars...nope, he cryed and wouldnt eat it! so i just left for a couple of days....like yr baby he would eat his breakfast so i gave him that a lunch time as well, if its for a day or two till theyve recovered from us changing everything on them, then what does it matter....my boy still wont stage 2 food...so now he has breakfast, finger food for lunch (which he throws everywhere!) and a yogurt for afters...and a stage 1 jar for tea and an afters....all babies are different, obviously, and youve honestly got to do what suits them....just for the time being stick to your jars, introduce finger foods as soon as he's sitting up well and holding things....before you know it he'll be eating your dinners with you...good luck with it all, its not easy, this is my 5th baby and i'm still working it all out! x

So Atheists: What excuse do you have for ignoring the voluminous archaeological & historic evidence of Bible?

I have no intention at all of ignoring it, indeed I use archaeological evidence to attack the relevance of the bible constantly if you notice, I would suggest that you read some of the work of Israel Finklestein if you seek enlightenment as to the completeness of bible fabrication and its so called supporting evidence

How to catch big flathead cats in a farm pond?

Should I fish the deepest part of the pond (8ft) or should I fish in the average depth (5ft)?.Should I use large chunks of shad or herring or something else?

Would an SIS-style police unit be effective in other departments in the US?

The LAPD has an elite detective unit called the Special Investigation Section (SIS) which conducts surveillance on habitually violent criminals. One of their key methods is to wait until the actual commission of a crime, and then apprehend the suspect(s). The idea is that unless an actual crime is committed, the perpetrator is much less likely to be convicted. Sometimes, SIS officers are able to use deadly force should the situation call for it. Does anyone think such methods are effective in fighting crime? If so, would such a unit prove effective in other police departments around the country? What are your thoughts?

I'm gonna ask a series of 3 food questions....?

i was just thinking the other day what six (sorry - I know you said five) food/drinks I would like to have if I was stranded on a desert island. the three drinks would be: (1) hot Earl Gray tea with cream and sugar, (2) ice cold pitcher of Canada Dry Ginger ale, and (3) a big goblet of Beringers White Zinfandel. The three foods would be: Chinese Chicken with walnut sauce, (2) a bag of Tootsie Roll Midgees, and (3) a bag of those new all-naturalkind of Sweet Potato Chips made by "TERRA - EXOTIC VEGETABLE CHIPS". Needless to say if there was a mirror or bathroom scale on the island, I would toss them both into the wild blue yonder (AKA the ocean)! Then I'd go back to eating and drinking !!

Pax Romana --- Question??!!?

It wasn't really a policy, but more of a name for the age. Augustus brought stability to Rome and sought to consolidate the empire's borders rather than continued expansion. Rome saw itself spreading too thinly and determined that it would be stronger if it made itself stronger from the inside rather than through military conquest. Consider it as the Renaissance of the Roman Empire. It was sort of a golden age for Roman society because there was much civil progress made and there weren't any major conflicts during the time.

Would you eat a Woolly Mammoth burger?

I mean, it's been frozen for ages. If it died of natural causes or people who have been dead as long as the mammoth, would you eat one?

What are my chances of getting into Columbia, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, of Tufts?

I think you have a very good chance at all of those schools if you can raise your SAT score, or if you simply don't send it since it's so much lower than your ACT. Also, you don't have any leadership positions...that could pose a problem. Is there anything unique about you that would make you stand out? Have you proven that you're very pionate about any of your extracurriculars? Bronx Sci is really competitive, and colleges know that, so your GPA is very impressive. Columbia may be a bit of a reach, but the other three are good matches. Good luck!

Can you give an nco a counseling statement?

NCO's get counseled all the time - counseling is an integral part of the Army. It is how you let someone know they need improvement and give them a plan for doing so or you counsel them for a job well done.

Looking for Criticism for the opening two pages of my novel?

Okay...I think you've got a good idea, it just needs to be..fuller? I think would be the best word. The bit about being raised to worship the American Dollar, good. I like it, I like that you're not saying it's a good thing. Mentioning abortion, also good, 'cause unless you're trying to publish teenie-bopping trendybooks, I say push the controversy. Peoples' minds are stagnant, and as a writer it's your job to smack them out of that complacency. My only real problem with it is that your language gets kind of weird, it almost reads like a gossipy story at points (mostly in the first few paragraphs). Hope that helped and didn't hurt to much, I'm not trying to be a , just trying to be honest.

Oh come on, seriously, Jillian kept Wes again?

I think the producers are making her keep him around for good television. I mean they're paying for the whole show, the crazy dates, everything, so what they say goes. Like another user said, I think she's already picked her guy, but she's just keeping Wes because it's what the producers want.

Do I have any chances of getting into McGill University?

Yes, your GPA meets and is above McGill's requirements. Canadian universities are definitely much easier to get into than US universities. I'd think you'd have no problem getting in since McGill is not that difficult to get into for undergrad programs. Knowing French is good, but it really isn't a requirement to get into McGill and is not an advantage either.

Country/Pop Fans: What is your most listened to song from Shania Twain?

I change my answer from your previous question to Shania Twain. I really like her music. As for what song. She had so many good songs. "UP".."That don't impress me much".."Who's bed have your boots been under".."From this moment".."Home ain't where the heart is" and so many more.

Where can i find crepe paper?

This is kind of a strange question but i need help soo, for my fashion cl we are making dresses out of paper. Each of us are, and my teacher encouraged us to use different types.

So any store suggestions, even something generic like a art supply store would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Magistrates courts UK, duty solicitors and legal aid...please help!?

You have no standing in this case, he needs to inform them if he is going to change solicitor, he's very unlikely to get a barrister at mags court any local solicitor will represent him. He might be better sticking with whoever was duty, as they tend to be the ones that regularly appear at mags (when not acting as duty solicitors) they know the mags, the prosecutors all the other defence solicitors and all the court staff. Nobody is going to accept instructions from you, this is his case, he needs to get off his backside and do this himself, it's not hard. Address it to the, Clerk to the Justices , at whatever address court is (that is where the office will be)and start Dear Sir.

Which should I read for my summer project? The Chosen by Chiam Potok or Nectar of a Sieve byKamala Markandaya?

For honors English 10 this summer I have to read 3 novels and write about them. I'm going to read Pride and Prejudice and A Thousand Splendid Suns, both books I have been wanting to read. For each book my project is to find the deeper meaning, identify literary devices, define quotes, topics, themes, irony, and things like that. And I can't decide between The Chosen or Nectar in a Sieve as my third choice. Any reviews on either that would be best to do a project on?

How difficult is it work in a deli?

I've worked as a stockboy for a few years at a place that's only open during the summers. I want to work deli because I'll get paid more and it would make the job there less menial. Only issue is, I have no idea how to work a slicer and I have no idea which meats are which - I don't really eat much deli food so I don't know what people usually get. How steep is the learning curve? By deli, we make egg sandwiches, ered/toasted bagels, regular sandwiches, coldcuts, almost everything.

What do you dream as your future house?

My dream house is isolated from everyone, I hate having neighbours that can look through your windows or see everything you do in your backyard. Preferably in the woods next to a lake, somewhere where the winters aren't harsh. Ideally it would be a very large mansion, but I would consider it a dream home even with a normal size home as long as the surroundings are beautiful.

Barbados return/onward ticket necessary?

Ok guys. I'm flying with BUDDY PES (a cheap ticket you get from people who work at an airline. You fly stand-by with the airline. And you can only confirm your flight 3 days before.)

Please answer according to experience. Thank you!!!

I just got a new atiel and it's untamed?

I just got a new atiel today. My family member knew a man that wanted to sell it to us for a cheap price. When I went to the place, the bird was in a cage that was too small for it. There was no food and water in the cage, but the man said thats because he just got the bird in today. The cage was disgusting and dirty. The birds feathers arent in great condition from being rubbed up against the bars of the cage, and near the nose it looks like the bird got scratched and theres a little blood. So, I immediately bought it a new, much larger cage and filled it with toys, food, and water. The bird hasnt been handled before and needs to be trained. The man says once the bird gets acquainted with the home that I should leave the cage door open so it comes out, but it bites and I don't want it flying wildly around (it's wings arent clipped yet). Also, since I put the bird in its new cage it seems very frightened and it hasnt even eaten or drank anything yet. It just stays in one spot. I feel so bad, I wish there was something I could do. How can I train it to come on my hand and feel comfortable with me? By the way, its about 3 months old.

Do you care about 2nd Amendment Rights?

In a way I hope they do try to pursue this because this could send many moderate democrats further away from Obama and his Neo-Marxist ideologies. I'm in the central wheat belt of mid-America and the Democrats are already getting uneasy about Obama and his focus on urban interests to the detriment of rural America. I can't see this happening, but there again, I would have never guessed that I would have seen what has already happened in the last six months. I'll write a letter to my reps anyway.

I was given an independent project for the breadwinner by deborah ellis?

hi. in grade 7 we have literacy groups in my cl and the book my group read was the breadwinner by deborah ellis. now that we're done, we have to do an independent project. for example, pretend that the book is being made into a film, and make a movie poster for it, or read a part of the book to the cl and tell them why you chose this section. stuff like that. it also said if you can think of your own idea, you can use it. I dont want to do any of the suggestions on the page, because they're all a bit boring. so does anybody have an idea of what project I can do? please give a lot of detail. the best one I'll pick as my favourite, because I dont want people to write nonsense or be rude because that sometimes happens. thanks!

Can anybody explain what this is!!!?

All of a sudden last thursday i felt my heart begin beating very fast like 160bpm which only lasted about a minute or so and went back to normal suddenly. The it happened again later in the day while I was still at school. Then when I got home it felt strange like it was jumping around in my chest and I thought I was gunna die. Then since that day I haven't felt rite and my heart will skip beats when I walk around or take a shower and then if i do even minimal exercise it will beat very fast again and feel like it flopping around in my chest. I saw a cardiologist who told me it was pacs and svt and it wasn't anything serious but it just doesn't feel rite at all. I can't do any exercise or even shower without it pounding and feeling strange. I've never had any medical problems before and no heart problems whatsoever and this literally came out of the blue. Can someone please explain what this could be?

Acura website and radio/navigation codes help plz?

if anyone is familiar with the acura website about getting radio/navigation codes can anyone help me. so i just recently bought an acura tl and the batteries died so i had them replaced and since the battery was disconnected the car is asking me for navi/radio codes. i went to the site and did all the things i could to retrieve the code but for me to get the code i must enter the phone number and zip code. and i tried mine and it wouldnt work. so i was wondering if it'll take awhile for it to convert into my address since i just officially registered the car today or would i have to use the original's (very first buyer) owner's phone number and zip code?...thx in advance for any help possible. also no other acura/honda site will give out codes anymore since it would put an employer at risk for losing their jobs...(some website owner told me this)

No they are talking about the little tax-dodging companies set up by the top execs of Bechtel that they use to hide all their house, boat, ect purchases, and use to launder income to make it look like investment income.

HELP!!! My girlfriend is having issues that I don't know how to help her with!!! Please help!!!?

My girlfriend and I have been together for seven months. We were friends all last year, too. I'm in grade 12 and she's in grade 10. I'm two Since september, she has had to go through some pretty rough issues. Her grandfather got really sick and she missed a month of school going down to see him. She has had to do school on Saturdays and Sundays to get caught up. Then her grandmother was put in the hospital, too. She went to go and say goodbye and you can imagine how hard that would be, but her grandmother hasn't died yet. When she came back from seeing her in the hospital, her uncle died. She is also a straight A student and for her its heartbreaking to get a "bad mark". She is the ultimate people-pleaser. She has four parents due to divorce and has to live with four set of rules and expectations to live up to. For her to make one happy makes another frustrated. On top of that, she is competitive in a certain sport and has to train 7.5 hours a week, plus at home daily. She is running for 'Miss______' (our city) and that is another five hours in her week. She doesn't get a whole lot of time to rest and relax. She has been getting 6.5 hours of sleep if she is lucky and hasn't been eating a lot. She often skips meals, but she isn't an anorexic. She forgets to eat because she gets so absorbed in what she is doing. She is a really good actress. I can be talking to her and she'll be on the verge of tears. Someone will walk in the room and ask her how she is and she answers like its one of the best days of her life. It scares me to think how when I ask her how she is doing she could be playing me. She is really open with me, our communication skills are great, but she is tired of people telling her to eat and sleep. Two years ago, there was a similar situation she was in, but less intense. She had suicidal thoughts, but thankfully she has given help before going through with them. I didn't even know about the suicidal part until a few days ago. She had plans of writing it all out in a letter and then reading it to me, but her friend told me first. I asked her about it and she said as bad as everything looks, she has no suicidal thoughts and enjoys life too much to stop early. She still smiles, but its not the same as before. It doesn't go all the way up to her eyes life it used to. How can I be an encouragement to her and help her? I'm leaving this week for about a month and won't be able to contact her at all. Not even with snail mail!! Please help! Any answer is welcome!!!!

Can you find out if your fingerprints are linked to a crime?

I have a friend friend that was arrested and used someone else's name, address, DOB, etc. She then violated probation after she served her time. That was 5 years ago, and now she is afraid to apply for a job that requires fingerprinting, because the arrest will come up and connect her true self to the past crime under someone else's name. She is willing to complete the terms of her probation to make it go away, but doesn't want to mix the identities of the two people. So is there anyway to "run your fingerprints" without incriminating yourself?

You wrote a nice bio, but let's not forget that Marriot (RIP) went on to form Humble Pie. SmallFaces were one of my favorites back in the day and their many incarnations deserve many accolades.

Can you tell my growth as a poet?

Daniel, you are a talented writer. There is no doubt of that. Your poetry tells very vivid stories, with an excellent eye for detail. My only critique would be that you get a bit wordy at times. One of the main differences between a poem and a short story is that a poem is condensed. I'm wondering, have you tried writing short stories instead of poems?

Poll: how many of you know about agenda 21, and if so, what is your opinion?

If you don't know about agenda 21, you might do a search, and quickly too since time is running out. president Obama will sign the codex alimentarius bill on December 31 of this year. Thats an ademdum to Agenda 21, written by the UN, proclaiming all vitamins are toxins. vitamins in foods will be removed, it will be illegal to purchase, or possess vitamins of any sort or herbs, or growing of herbs in any fashion or you can be jailed unless its with a doctors precription. does this sound like the beginning of the end? Well check out agenda 21 and you tell me.

My sister and her boyfriend got into a fight, cops were called and now they are charging her and her boyfriend with Felonies, his for Felony Battery & hers for felony child endangerment. This is not the first time she has lost her kids, the last time they also stayed with me, but she got them back. Now the cops are going to give them to me again and she has agreed to sign over custody. But what do I do now? How can I raise her 3 and my 2 in a way that's good for them all? Also, this just happened so I don't understand if it is permanent this time. Any suggestions to help? Thank you.

Bumps on head of , burns to urinate?

Fungal infection maybe. Keep it clean, it will go away. It's no big deal. If you don't have and he hasn't slept with anyone else how the hell could it be or any other STD she's been checked for. A urinary tract infection wouldn't cause bumps outside the urinary tract, one would ume.

My 3 yr old just got stung by a bee?

I pulled out the stinger, squeezed out the wound, iced it down, put baking soda and water on it, gave her acetaminophen. We have an epi-pen for other allergies, as far as I know she isn't allergic(do they test for bee's when testing for other things) What else should I do, when will I know that she's in the clear and not going to have a severe allergic reaction? She is a little swollen on her finger where she was stung but nothing drastic.

How does one go about finding a tattoo artist they would like to tattoo them?

I was just wondering. first off do you simply just walk into the shop ask to look at some of the artists work then just leave if you don't like it? It seems quite rude, but on the other hand if you dont like their previous work I wouldnt just have them tattoo me anyways out of politeness. I dont know how to go about finding an artist i like. and what should i look for when looking for an artist? how do i know that they are clean safe and do quality work?

No - African Americans have dominant genes and East Asians have recessive genes and Caucasians don't have as dominant genes as African Americans so they just look black.

What would you say about my indoor subwoofer setup?

This is for indoor use? And you need 1000w why? Car audio subs are way different than home theater subs, look at the freq response on the JVC, are you putting in an adjustable crossover? because having your sub pump freqs over about 80hz is making it work too hard and you will have a tough time blending it with your main speakers - I understand the fun of making your own gear but I don't understand your choices. I own an HSU Research VTF-2 MK 3 12" Subwoofer , 250w amp that goes to 18hz and I could literally knock down walls if I wanted to and it sounds great and can be tuned to blend naturally with my main speakers. Anyway, I would be interested to hear your response to my questions. Good luck

If I get married in about 5 years from now, should i tell my future wife then about my bi polar disorder ?

I'm wondering if any wife can tolerate a bi polar manic husband ? I mean when I'm calm, I'm the nicest guy on earth but when one of my episodes come on, it's like Dr Jekyll and my Hyde. I'm on medication prescribe by my family doctor, I just saw him today for depression.

How does MIP on an FHA loan work?

I have been reading a lot about the MIP insurance on FHA loans, but I am not clear on how it works. I have read that you can pay the premium (1.75%) up front or have it paid through out the life of the loan at .25 - .55%. From my understanding, If you choose to do the monthly payments you have to pay it for the entire life of the loan but if you pay upfront then you only pay until you have paid off all but 78% of the home. Is this correct? Please someone clear this up for me?

Women and engagement rings?

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head about many of the posters on yahoo answers. I get the impression that most people posting on here are extremely young, unestablished in their careers and from a lower socioeconomic background (aka they have no money/savings to speak of). Unless you're trying to have a low budget, DIY wedding on here, don't bother posting any questions because you'll just be told you're materialistic, shallow, selfish, etc. My family is not wealthy. I am, but I work very hard for my money and if I choose to spend my earnings on a large diamond ring for my fiancee and an expensive wedding, so be it. I happen to work in sports management and many of my friends are professional athletes. We live a lifestyle that most people on Yahoo answers have no clue about and expect certain things when we attend events like weddings, parties, etc. Maybe it sounds superficial but whatever. That's the lifestyle that I live, whether yahoo answerers agree with it not.

I might kill myself over this... should i and if not what should i do? (Part 2 of 3)?

PLEASE READ ALL PARTS!!! She said everything other than dating me. I told her the reason behind it. I said that she knew that I had never been affected by anyone else before and that I was completely in love with her and that the only person I could imagine myself with was her. She tried and tried to come up with a reason that completely avoided what I had just said for two months after. Then her ambition for it somehow died out for the most part. She asked me if nothing she was proposing was mattered to me then how it was that I was still alive. My answer remains the same today, the thought of me and her together. That’s what drives me even today. The year ended and I was distancing myself from her in an effort to get her to either spill or to evaluate the past year and come up with an answer. I came up with one, due to the fact that she knows that our relationship would be serious and that she wants the fun of dating random people I predicted that we would start dating at around either midway or late senior year of high school. Little would I know at the time I was only a few weeks away from snapping. Before I tell you the next part I need to tell you the “inside” story. Only Angela herself knows anything of this, until now of course. My soul has always been a Yin-Yang of Light and The Darkness. Yes, The Darkness. In 7th grade when Angela said that she used to be a suicide cutter and that she had tried to kill herself a few times before, I felt like dying myself. The war from there on had erupted. Light verses The Darkness in my soul. They used to be at neutrality, but at that point they were no longer. As time progressed, I noticed that what happened with things regarding me and Angela, affected the war within. Over the summer of my to 7th to 8th grade year The Darkness started to get the upper hand. I think that was because I hadn’t seen her in months. Not long into the next school year, It overtook my soul, or at least what was left of it, and corrupted me. With Angela only talking about her current and ex boyfriends my soul was being mutilated. At the end of the year my soul was not only nearly completely taken over by The Darkness but also it was almost dead. Only my love for Angela still remains. That is the only light part of me left. Now over the summer last year, and I don’t know if it was a dream or not my friends think it was but if it was it was a hellish one, literally, but I had a major asthma attack and had to go the hospital. Once there when I woke up from being ped out, I noticed a scalpel on the table next to me. There was no one else there so I slit my throat. I died there. The next thing I knew I was in Hell and I would come to spend just over a year there. In that time I went through indescribable torture, but I was not broken by it. I know what part of me that didn’t break. That was my love for Angela. Not even the hell of Hell can break that. The next thing I knew while I was undergoing hell I awakened in the hospital. Only 3 or 4 minutes had ped. My throat was glued shut and I was sitting on the bed surrounded by my parents and a few doctors with that thing that doctors use to shock your heart started. I told them a lot of information that would throw them off and make them think that it was accidental. That I reached over for a drink and my arm gave out making it drop and hit the edge of the scalpel, launching it up and across my throat. I went home and fell asleep but when I awoke it was the same day I died. I was confused but I didn’t argue.

Why wouldn't it matter if a college football coach was an atheist?

On the Paul Finebaughm show, a caller alleged that Alabama football coach Nick Saben's atheism is unquestioned. That issue was entertained, but not taken seriously on this forum. Some are asking whether it matters. Of course it matters. We cannot have a religious litmus test for staff at public universities, but Athletic Director Mal Moore should want not only a winning coach but also someone who will be a good moral influence upon college students. Very little is more important in this life than a strong moral comp. Those who deny the existence of God also reject the author of truth. Rejecting God leads to the rejection of moral truth so evident in our perverse society. I'm thrilled about Nick Saben go to the Tide, but I would love to hear conclusively that the atheism rumor is untrue. It does matter because he stands to have such a strong influence on students. As for those of you deny God's existence, God doesn't believe in athiests (Romans 1).

Is drinking tons of tea bad?

Tea is generally good for you.. 4 cups a day won't hurt you. I don't think splenda is very good for you, but a little bit isn't going to kill you. As far as I know the only bad thing in tea is caffeine, but I doubt there would be any in the tea you described. Tea is actually a pretty good substitute for water, but I still try to drink some plain water everyday. Your constipation issues might be due to the fact that you aren't drinking enough water(or water substitutes), but I doubt it will get any worse by drinking tea. Hope that helps, good luck :)

This guy is drving me crazy.. Please help! thanks x?

I'm sorry if what I am about to say is a bit harsh. I think this guy is only using you as an option. He maybe using you to get his ex jealous. So when he and his ex got back together, you are basically 'dumped' by him. I think you should try hard to forget him.

How long does a Feline flare up last?

I adopted a 3 month old kitten from the local humane society last Saturday. He was sneezing a lot and the person working at the shelter said that it could be stress and it will go away shortly. By Monday, he was getting worse so i took him to a vet. The Vet said that there is a 97% chance that he has feline and prescribed some antibiotics and L-lysine in a paste form. Since then, the kitten's nose is completely blocked up which forces him to breathe using his mouth. Then this morning, it sounded like he was wheezing and coughing. I was wondering if this all sounds normal and if so, how long it would last. He is still eating and drinking, not a normal amount by any means, and is using the litter box. I haven't seen any diarrhea or vomiting yet. I've also been reading that taking him into the bathroom and steaming it up would help but he really hates it. I just feel so bad for him. I know its a mostly non-lethal condition, but is there anything else i can do for him to help make him feel better? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

So why are Muslims chanting death to America... because one Church planned to burn a Koran on 9/11?

Like I've said before, the "moderate/peaceful" Muslims use the threat of the violence and retribution of the extremists to gain favor and expand. Rather than saying, "Oh you have to allow this because extremists will see it as an attack on Islam" How about the so-called "moderate/peaceful" followers stand up in m against the alleged minority extremists? Won't happen. They need the fear to move forward.

Chance me For UPenn Wharton and other Ivies?

Great academics and great extracurriculars - you obviously seem committed and consistant with your extracurricular activities. Your SAT is great relatively compared to most students, but a 2100 is hovering just below average at Ivy League schools. Don't get me wrong, a 2100 really shows you're a great student, but it's not going to make you a shoe-in at an Ivy League necessarily. The average acceptance at UPenn this year is around 17%, but since you seem to be an above average student for the most part, I'd say you have about a 30% to 40% chance at admissions, which is way above the average Joe at UPenn.

Do you fellow Police Officers also believe that "accidents never happen"?

As pessimistic as it sounds, there is no such thing as an accidents - only careless people. Cause and effect are always going to be there. I believe our subconscious is aware but the fact that we are subconscious, we aren't yet aware on a conscious level which leads to an "accident." I mean we only use 10% of our brain at a time right? ;-)

I told this guy i liked him, and i think it ruined everything??!?

well maybe not a problem, but idk. im not sure what to do. i liked this guy and i told him i liked him, but we dont go to school together so i only talk to him on internet or phone, but i see him on sundays bc he is in my youth group. well i told him i liked him 6 days ago or so. and then he like quit talking to me and i was so confused and didnt understand. so i figured he didnt like me so i just sent him a message saying i regreted telling him bc i didnt want to ruin our friendship and all kinds of things like that. well yesterday i found out that he has been grounded so there was no way of him responding to that. then this morning i went to church and i wasnt sure if he knew i liked him or not. i think so but i didnt ask. well we were talking and that was fine. and then this girl came around and iver never seen her. but im uming by the way they acted they are dating. now idk what to do. bc i told him i liked him, then got a bit upset at him bc he wouldnt talk to me, then told him we should just be friends and now he is dating some other girl and i have no idea what to think. or if i should be mad or upset or omgg im, im just not suree. helpp. pleasee. =]

**NEED HELP ASAP** I'm so confused, should I talk to him and try to explain?

So, about a month ago, this guy started talking to me on FB. We went through the whole "what's up" "nothing much" thing, then he asks me oh-so-subtly how me and my bf are doing. Well, I've never had a bf, even though I'm probably pretty enough to get one, but I'm so shy and no guy ever seemed willing to break through the shell. Then he said "as cute as you are, I thought youd be asked ot everyday :)" and it was impossible to not be flattered by that, y'know? Okay, so I met the guy when school started back, and I had a mini-heart attack because he is this ridiculously cute football playing sopre, and I'm just an uninteresting freshman. He walked me to all my cles for a couple days, and I thought he was amazing and sweet. And my friends asked his younger brother, who's in our grade, about it, and apparently he was crushing on me A LOT. But then he insulted my best friend And I got more upset than I should have, mostly because my life was being crap, I was confused, lost, and felt utterly hopeless, and this whole situation was just a lot to take in. Then I did something stupid--I avoided him. It's been a while, but I really think I've got my life back on track. I was an unconfident, quiet, nervous girl before, but I really think I've grown up some, and am not as shy and reclusive. So, do you think I should talk to him? I really want to, since there will Be that irritating "What if" there if I don't, but I'm not sure if he'll want to listen and consider starting over like I want to. Do you think he would? How should I go about doing it?

What do you do if a stranger threatens your life?

Sometimes, people are crazy. And sometimes people are serious. The guy sounds mental. You should've told the security guards he threatened you and that he's a pervert. But not out loud. Well it's too late now isn't it?

Why are Creditors ogous to parasitic leeches?

In my opinion, they suck the financial life blood out of people after people allow the Creditors to attach themselves to the person. The leech is to be blamed as well as the person allowing the leech to attach itself. Reject credit offers, just as you would reject a leech.

No one has answered! Please Help! ankle problem!?

If it is a chronic ankle sprain then surgery might be the best answer. You would first want to get an MRI to see if there is ligament damage. Some of the pain also might be coming from scar tissue caused by rolling your ankle. There is a surgery called a Brostrom where the doctor connects your ligament tighter so you will not roll your ankle. If there is scar tissue then you may also want to have an ankle arthroscopy where the doctor will remove all the scar tissue in your ankle. You should also see a orthopedic doctor just to make sure that your trainer gave you the right diagnosis.

Should I get a new PC?

You should be fine with just replacing your RAM and GPU; I still have a 2GB memory but an NVIDIA 8800 GTS. All of the games I've thrown at it so far (Crysis/Far Cry on High which ran fairly well) have worked fine and there's hardly any load time lag. If you have money to throw around then go ahead, those specs should last you a while. I have a dual core 2.42GHz processor, and it still works like a charm. As for the motherboard, you should be fine.

Do men find it hard to call a woman they really like?

I recently started communications with a guy. He says I'm super cool. We text each other regularly, the the call are not as frequent. I'll call and leave a message, but he doesn't return my call. We haven't talked on the phone in over a week. But, he is in college in a doctoral program, and he's in the middle of finals.

Need some advice for life changing decisions?

I need to buy a car. I would like to buy another truck but the last few I had were either cursed or haunted -- they were always breaking down, falling apart and getting me in trouble with the local law enforcement. I can no longer depend on my wacked-out GF to let me drive her car. She is acting so strange that I decided to stay at my trailer tonight. I can't stand her whining and blubbering any longer. I almost wish she would go back to throwing things at me and screaming when I p****d her off. I still have money left over from my lottery winnings (I wisely ate my GF's cooking and drank her beer for the last few months to save money) so I can afford a decent ride. I need suggestions -- pick-up, SUV, sports car or motorcycle?

Girlfriend bought me a thoughtless Xmas gift?

For Xmas I bought my girlfriend of 6-months -- a new watch, earrings, and salon gift certificate. I also took us to NY. She got me chocolates and one of those shaving kits you get at the pharmacy. I'm not mad, but the gift seems quite thoughtless. And I know she isn't suffering financially so her gift choice wasn't because it was all she could afford. Could this be a sign that she doesn't really care about me? An ex-girlfriend who is now married even got me something more thougtful.

What do we do about such high birth rates?

The world is seeing a population increase like never before, and it is putting tremendous strains on our environment. I am from Serbia, but I currently live in Canada. I was looking over population growths of Serbia for a project, and looked at Kosovos as well. It is unbeleivabley high, and the population is so small. In other words, they are popping out babies by the dozens. If the birth rate of one country is much, much larger than that of another country, what's to stop that country from taking over? Countries that have a high birth rate can simply move into neighboring countries and make dozens of babies, and in 100 years or so, drastically change the ethnic divisions of that country, like with what happened to Kosovo. This will only continue to spread, so what can a person do to cope with this in todays world?

If someone was going to give you a free piece...?

I want to do something nice for an American Missionary nurse in Tanzania. I am an artist and thought a small painting of some kind would be a nice gesture; one that would measure about 11x 14 or little bigger because it would be plain canvas with no wood; therefore, it could be rolled up. There's people from the church going over there to visit her and could take it. we are sending essential things, as well. But I thought something nice to look at could be nice also. If you were in Tanzania, first off, would you want a painting and if so, what would you like?; I thought maybe a nice big sunflower or an Outer space painting, supernova, nebula, etc. what do you think? any ideas? thanks.

100% URGENT! PLEASE ANSWER!?

The first paragraph is needed, but lengthy. Try to remove some of the description while still keeping the point of the speech tied in. You should also mention early on that there is only a Senior Prom at this high school. The second paragraph is good overall but could be slightly condensed. I believe it does prove a good point though. Very persuasive.

Audition song - Mary Lennox in Secret Garden?

"I Know Things Now" from Into The Woods is a good child's song, and of course anything from Annie (plus Annie has the nice orphan parallel). "Where is Love?" from Oliver! is a good child's song as well and can just as easily be sung by a girl. "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music and "Goodnight My Someone" from The Music Man are also good choices, and would be in the appropriate age range.

I am thinking Nikon D50. What is the best deal in used dSLR cameras?

Who has the right to be upset? Myself or my fianc�?

Sounds like he's a jerk as well as he does not realize he is NOT YOUR DADDY. You might want to think about wasting a chunk of your life with him. Remember your son is watching and getting his cues about respecting women from this jerk that seems to use you like a hooker is for 2 and both need to want it when only 1 does and just satisfies themselves it means your a sperm receptacle and hookers get treated better and then to punish you Honey you and your kid deserve better!!!!!!! Close up shop for a few weeks and point to the baby oil because you just cant put out he's on punishment for being a Male Chauvinistic Pig. Be MAD hes a selfish jerk and is probably laughing about right now and brags to his buddy's about how you know your place and are in check? Forget the white dress and run you cannot change or fix that kind of guy!

How can I Gan back respect from the police if I am different and am sorry for what I done as a teenager?

I was not a good teen ager. I was a;way igorant to the police. I was rude and direspectful. Now that I am out of school working and see life in a differnt light maybe because I with adults now not teens everyday I want to be a good law bying person. But, I think it is to late.

No one else when they are ticking my block gets pulled over for it. They call me by my name and say here that gone get you everytime I see you for your remarks. However they were said as a teen and I was wrong. I respect the cops how can I gain their trust back in me or is it to late? I was a young [unk now trying to be a good man.

Why are Lebanese people white?

I've noticed the majority of Lebanese people I've met or seen tend to look white (kind of italian looking). Some even have blonde hair and blue eyes. Its not just Lebanese people but also Syrians, Jordanians, and some Iraqis and Palestinians. Please don't be offended but you guys tend to look different from other Arabs. For example the majority of Arabs from the gulf are dark and you have a few who even look like Somalians (espicially in countries like Yemen). And then the Arabs from Algeria and Morocco are mixed and they can be any colour ranging from white, to brown, to black. For example I know a black Algerian and a white Moroccan and they both are North Africans. Can any Lebanese people give me answers please. Is it because you lot mixed with Greeks and Turks or something?

Fixing up a rabbit cage?

I recently bought a new cage for our bunny and we wanted to use the old wire walls to set up as like a playpen out side of his cage. Now the problem is the bunnies chewed some of the coating/epoxy that is on the cage. I don't want it to get rusty so I was going to spray paint it or something but I don't know what I could use that would not heart the bunnies if they ate it. Any ideas on what I can use to re coat the wire cage???

What's the difference between a LCD projector lamp and bulb?

In my clroom, the LCD projector image says, "Replace lamp". As of now, I can use it, but a yellow light is blinking on the projector, so I"m not sure how long it will last. Of course our head custodian is gone (for a good reason) and no one else knows what that means. What exactly does "replace lamp" mean? My bulb burnt out about a month ago, so that should still have lots of life left in it. Thanks!

Dream herp collection?

I have a bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and a crested gecko right now. I used to think I wanted lots more pets (a corn snake, hermit , tarantula, chameleon, fat tailed geckos, red eyed tree frogs, fire salamanders, and so on...) but I'm realizing how much time, money and space it would require (I have to sell my beardie due to moving and I won't have room for her anymore) and now I realize I really am happy with just my two geckos. Having only two I'll be able to take better care of them and spend more time with them anyway. I also have a dog, a betta, and 6 guppies though. I have to keep all my pets in my bedroom at my new house because my mom doesn't like them (right now I have the whole basement) so it's going to be hard enough finding room for them. I'm nearly 18 so I'll be moving out soon enough though. I know you said if money and space were no object but I just can't help thinking like that..

What is with girls shaving pubic hair?

I'm twenty years old and have been dating a girl steady for over a year. Neither of us shave our pubic hair, even though both of us in the past did. We both have had in the past with other people while we were shaven, but we agree that with that natural padding of hair is so much better as it increases the potency of her pheromones as well as increased sensitivity to the mail genitalia. The question I have is, why are so many people afraid of leaving it natural? It feels so much better that way and to me looks much better, as it is a sign that a man is making love to a woman, not a girl. Why do so many young teenage girls feel that they need to shave their pubic hair off? It doesn't make much sense to me.

Why do black women have such great behinds?

I guess I might be a little bias, but I have always wondered why they have such perfect behinds.(Halle Berry, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Lauren London, Iman, Tyra Banks) I am not into, big booties, but I love nice and round ones. I am trying not to come of as a pig, because I am far from that, I am just wondering why they have the nicest behinds. Don't get me wrong other races do to, but not quite like that. Is this just a gift from god?

Can a rocket from a rocket launcher explode if pointed at the ground?

Can a soldier die if he points a rocket launcher at the ground in front of him, fires and the rocket detonates? I play Operation Flash point and I fire a rocket at the ground in front of me, and it explodes. Would an RPG explode if that happened in real life?

Why is my printer is not printing my doents on my computer?

Ok I have homework that I receive from my email online and blackboard, and everytime I try to print it out, the paper does goes through, but the ink does not come on the page, its like its printing out blank ink. Then when my mom test to see if it is the ink on the internet, it either prints out certain words or print the page of words and pictures in multicolor ink. Its it something wrong with the ink or the printer itself, because it prints, its just the ink or the words on the page is not showing?

My bob iz 27-11-1985tim12:10pm karachi,pakistan (female) i want 2 know about 9 house in my birth chart.?

Ninth house lord Mercury is vargottama. A planet posted in the same sign in lagna and navansha is called vargottama and is considered strong. Mars is in 9th house and owning 4th house which is occupied by Rahu. During Rahu dasha, Mars in the 9th will effect bhagya in some way. Rahu should be propitiated to have full benefit of vargottama lord of 9th.

Who was really in the tomb that day?

Matthew 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.Mark 16:1-2Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.Luke 24:1-2Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them,came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.John 20:1Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

What am I doing wrong?

Ok so my husband and I have been married since August 08 and its been amazing with him. We met in April 08 and knew it was love. Anyways, his sisters act really nice to me over the phone and things but when I met them in person they were snooty to me and talked bad about me behind my back. Honestly? Come on now. I'm 20 and they are 26 and 30. I met them when we were just dating and they still talk crap even now that were married. Like saying I won't be around for long and that he should still be with Kayla (their best friend, who he pity f**ked). And they say I'm using him for his money..... He's a Marine....he doesn't have money. When I met him he was a grand in the hole. but they just don't get this. They have only met me twice but insist they "know me" it just really bothers me because I love him with my entire being, I pretty much wait on him hand and foot and he is just my world. But they don't see that because they live so far away. Well I guess my questions are, am I doing something wrong? And How can I confront them about it and make them see who I am without a huge argument?

Why Do Japanese Adore Young Girls So Much?

Okay the thing is females in Japan has this thing about being cute and portraying themselves as children. They try to talk with high voices, try to make cute facial jesters, and even act totally immature for their ages. Many not most. This is so ingrained into the culture that even the work "Like" in Japanese is made of the Kanji for female+child....suki or 好. Not only that but a child like mind set overwhelms the culture in m media. 24/7 in every form of media you will find a childish toon-ish character, the morning News will probably have some cartoon character, milk ads, phone ads, everything everywhere all the time.

The refs and umps do a great job. No one can say they don't until they actually get out there themselves and see what the job insists of. The game is played at such high speed and to make some calls on the spot, of course some will be wrong but that's part of every sport.

In your opinion, what is the most annoying political stereotype?

All political stereotyping is annoying. Very few people are 100% liberal or 100% conservative. Most Americans are a combination of ideologies, ie moderates,and most Americans don't watch cable entertainment networks 24/7. 99% of all Americans want what is best of our country and our citizens. I do not have to agree with someone to acknowledge that they might have a different opinion, but that they still do not hate our country.

You know what, I don't think blacks should pay taxes?

I actually agree with you. If we are going to give one race special treatment then we should give the other's some too. But, it will never happen because there are wayyy more blacks than native americans. I actually believe that the native americans shouldn't have special treatment. They can live wherever they want now and were not affected by me now. Any native american living now was not personally affected.

Religion simplicity complexity etc.?

I do not believe any religion got it right. I believe(after rational thinking) that all religions are absolutely wrong simply because of the fact that they are way too simple!! I mean they are too simple to be right (check maths of m theory), they give god almost human intelligence(hmmm) which is at least unintelligible, yet i do believe that there could be a concience which u could call god and emerges from the almost infinite complexity of the universe(our concience emerges from the complexity of the connections of neurons in our brains) (check emergence theory). Am i an atheist?

Freak...or not so freak?

In reality, these days, there's no such thing as a "freak". Everybody dares to be different and everybody is unique in their own way. A lot of teens your age do go through said "phases", but I don't think that your friends and family will disown you because of it. Good luck!

Is Business and English education a good mix?

I have a BS degree in Business and I am thinking about furthering my education by getting a Master's in English rather than a Business related field. I enjoyed my English courses as an undergrad, and figured that an English background could help me employment wise in the future (looking for work in the business field is pretty hard now because of the economy). Any insights and if anyone has any recommendations for grad schools with English programs? Thanks.

Is Jamaica dangerous?

Im going to Jamaica in December with my family of 4. We are staying in Negril and venturing out daily. We want to visit all the towns like Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio and MAYBE Kingston since I've heard Kingston is dangerous. We rented a car so we could do it at our own pace. But I've been hearing so much about how its dangerous there. Can someone who has been there fill me in on the truth.

Cat jumped out of the window?

It sounds that he might have been a little dazed after landing. Since he is acting like he normally did he probably did not injure anything. Make sure that he is walking straight and eating and drinking and grooming himself as normal. Bring him to the vet if anything seems weird though. He might have internal bleeding or something.

LDS raised, haven't been to church since Aug 06...?

You don't need anything but yourself hun. You're probably just used to having a support system, and trying to feel things out on your own seems foreign. It takes some getting used to, but you'll be fine. Follow your heart, not a "belief structure."

How old is Old Testament? As old as Sumerians?

The last book was written 800 years before Christ was born and we don't know when Job was written. Job was the first book written before Genesis. This is the book that has dinosaurs in it. It might have been written in 4500 B.C. or earlier on the side of a cave, or on old parchments. God is real and he is a God of miracles. One of his greatest miracles was preserving the Bible for us to read today.

What could possibly be causing the noise that I am hearing in my 08 Ford Fusion?

I have an 08 Ford Fusion. I keep hearing this whirring noise when I accelerate and decelerate usually during around town driving. It sounds like a faint fire engine siren. It does not do it however when I am driving on the highway at a steady speed or when using cruise control. I have ask the mechanic about it and of course they said it was normal engine noise. I am not sure but it definitely appears to be coming from the engine. Does anyone know what this noise might be. Other than this the car drives very smooth and with little road noise. It's a 4 cylinder Duratec engine and it's kind of loud at idle and otherwise, but I can get over that. HELP!!

My Allstate insurance guy is trying to tell me that Pleasure does not cost less than Drive to Work for our car

I'm in the same situation (new stay at home mom no longer driving to work) and my Allstate agent told me the same thing. As a former customer service rep for an independent insurance agency, I saw many companies changing the old hard and fast rules that governed vehicle usage cles. It used to be that companies had between 1 and 5 rating tiers based on your age and driving record alone, and in each tier pleasure use was always rated lower than driving to work. Now companies have many more tiers, maybe 10-50 or more based on all kinds of crazy criteria (like whether or not you went to college, puh-leez!), and changes in usage don't necessarily merit lower rates anymore. In fact, sometimes changing from work use to pleasure would actually increase someone's rate! No insurance company could ever give me a decent reason for this, it was "just part of the rating software that can't be changed". This is just one of the many reasons I'm so glad to be out of the insurance business! FYI - I got an online quote from the insurance company with the cute little lizard (you know the one I'm talking about!) and it was way less than Allstate. If you decide to shop around make sure you get quotes wth at least the same limits you have now. The lizard initially gives you basic limits but you can increase them to match what you currently have if necessary.

My eyelids are creased the wrong way, making my eyelids look lopsided. How can I fix my eyelid?

The same thing is happening to me too! My theory for this is sun exposure. The sun makes your skin dry, it makes your eyelids dry too. Next time you go in the sun, apply sunscreen to your eyelids as well as your face. For now, you can moisterize the area with aloe vera, facial lotion, or vaseline. It'll get better in a couple of days and go back to normal. I wouldn't suggest putting make-up on your eyelid, because that'll make them more dry. I hope this helps! good luck.

Are my friends jealous?

Sounds like you're neglecting them. It doesn't sound like they're jealous. You're the bad guy here. Girlfriends will come and go, but true friends will stay with you forever.

Child Support Non-Payment?

How long do I need to wait before I report my X for non-payment? He is a well-educated man that has been out of work drawing unemployment BY CHOICE! He has a Master's in Civil Engineering and is MCSE/MCNP certified (I paid for those courses and tests) and can find a job, but chooses to stay at home and do online stock trading which I'm MORE than positive he's not told them about. He found out about my husband going out on Workman's Comp (60% pay) and his upcoming back surgery (funfunfun) and decided he wants to take me back to court to fix it to where the support is alot less or stopped because he wants to go back to school to get his Doctorate. He has stopped payments as of 2 weeks ago so he can afford an attorney...so who knows how long it will be. I'm do not want to wait around and I have no sympathy for the man, so I need to know how long I am required to wait because I'm tired of his garbage. His kids shouldn't have to suffer because of his selfishness!

Why are my results still inconclusive?

It is odd and very unprofessional. I would get the reports and take them to another doctor to read them. It is cruel to make you wait this long. I don't think it is cancer because they are so slow in responding.

Can A Panic Attack Cause A Problem With Swallowing?

Ok so I had a panic/anxiety attack the night before last and I had all the usual symptoms. About an hour later after I was given the drugs to help calm me down my throat still felt tight and blocked. The doctor kept reuring me that I had 99% oxygen and that I was breathing fine. It took me forever to get to sleep that night and when I woke up I was anxious and had the same feeling of suffocation again so I went back to the hospital and told the exact same doctor that I had seen the night before that I still didn't feel any different and that the panic attack had reoccured 3 times again so far because I was scared that I couldn't breathe. I also told him, yet again, about how my throat felt blocked and and clogged with mucus and how when ever I drank or ate something it felt like it took longer than normal to go down. He seemed to not car about anything that I was saying the most he did was tell me to make an appointment to get my throat checked out. What do you guys think it is?

Fears in my pregnancy..?

I'm pregnant again and we are so excited. My first pregnancy I lost my little girl in utero at 21 weeks due to a large cystic hygroma we watched grown from my first sonogram at 10 weeks they are a sign of turner syndrome we did an amnio and she did indeed have turners. My first appt for this pregnancy is on the 23 of this month. I really can't wait bc I don't even know how far I am yet but I am terrified of finding that there may be anything wrong with this one. My dr said there is only like a 1% chance that this would ever happen again but I'm just hoping for a perfect healthy baby I can't lose another one we were devastated. I had a dream last night that I was at my first apt and they showed me a video that they had recorded of my birth of my stillborn baby. What I told you about the turner baby. I didn't know they had done this (they didn't really this was my dream) and I saw how my baby looked born so early and with such a large cystic hygroma it was 10 cm in diameter. It was horrible dream and jus put me in a state that I am scared of anything being wrong with my baby that I'm pregnant with now. Does anyone have any words for comfort or ever experienced such a loss and now have a beautiful healthy baby. I just need some uplifting words I'm worrying myself too much

Mali Uromastyx- How old when full grown?

I work in a pet store and have become attached to a Mali Uromastyx we call Zig and I'm considering buying her. We do not know how old the reptiles we get are, only that they're "Adult" or "Juvenile". We've had Zig in the store for a while now and she's definitely full grown, but I'm wondering on average how old they are when they reach full size, so I can get a vague idea of how old she is. I'd also appreciate any other suggestions or ideas you may have on keeping a uro as a pet. Thanks!

Friendship ruined by 50 pence piece?

I play snooker every week with my best friend Stuart. Every week I buy 3 of the delicious ham cobs on sale. Unfortunately I don't like er, and so each week I scape the er off with a 50 pence piece. I don't know how I did it, but I must have left the coin inside my ham cob. On my shot, Stu asked could he have a quick bite of my ham cob, and before I could reply, there was a sickening crunch. His face contorted with pain and he let out what I can only describe as an almighty man scream. It didn't take long for me to deduce what had happened. To cut a long story short, he broke 2 back teeth. He now needs emergency dental work, and believes I should pay for it. My argument is that, I didn't ask him to have any of my ham cob. It wasn't as if it was a prank or anything. What do you think? Should we fall out over this ?

Preparing for Object C, what should I do?

I am youngish, but in this economy we need to start out strong. I need to learn Object C, what do you suggest I should learn first (can oly be on the web, saving, see for what further in)? I want to be able to get enough money for a MacBook by next year. So even if they come out with something new, I don't have to buy a whole new program. Anyways, I need to know what programming I should know before I take on Objective C, and what are some good Objective C tutorials? Please be specific in what I need to know.

How do I help orphaned kitten??? PLEASE HELP.?

Yesterday, I found a stray kitten about 6 weeks old laying in rocks about to die, I picked it up wondering why the mother had abandoned the poor girl. Low and behold as I began washing her I noticed a huge tear at the crease of her right front leg meeting her back and appendage. I have no money, I don't want to let her go, and I don't know if she has more than that. I noticed that she moved slow but thought she could have been learning to walk or too starved. She eats and drinks now but is mal-nourished. It wasn't bleeding and I am not sure if it will be able to heal itself shut. What can I do? And as a LAST RESORT, do humane societies take kittens for free? What place does? Are there any products to help me at a Petsmart, Walmart, Petco? Is this natural for kittens?

Looking for a cute baby girl name?

Whatever you do, don't give the poor girl an alternate spelling of a traditional name. They will forever have to correct the spelling of their name and they will hate you for that! also, remember that names need to GROW with a child. A cute little girl name is going to have to be her name when she is a 30 something year old trying to establish herself in the world. So a budding lawyer named Kristalina is going to sound more like a stripper! lol! (I know that's not on your list, just trying to make a point) Congrats!

Teenager and big attitude?

i could give many examples of his behavior, but will give recent probs only. My son left college and didnt tell me, he is 18 i also have an 8 year old..He signed on for jsa and last week because millwall was playing, he went there for an allday party and didnt bother to sign on, now he may lose his money. He tells me he cant wait to leave home and he hates me. Bloody hell i may have not been the perfect parent but i havent been the worse. I brought him up alone, and gave him everything i possibly could, going without myself. I dont want a medal for it but some respect would be nice.. He is so lazy lays in bed all day i know he isnt putting himself out to get a job, and i just feel i have to keep my mouth shut as he gets abusive verbally.. why does he hate me so much, when i am in the right with regards to him signing on etc..

Hi, I'm considering going to Marquette next year, I've already been accepted. I want to join either their Army ROTC or NROTC - Marine Option while I attend. My question is, could anyone give me a perspective on which is better at Marquette? I have heard good things about both, but I'd like the perspective of someone who has actually been there. Thanks!

What do you think of this story so far?

My parents voices echoes loudly in my parents’ house. “How could I be so dumb to marry a ***** like you; you’re such a !” My dad screams at my mom. I can hear their whole conversation even through the thick walls of the rooms. I cover my ears with my hands. I begin to dig my sharp nails into the side of my head; begging for them to stop fighting in my thoughts. I can still hear their voices, but they are kind of muffled. I scream, and try to block out the noises with my pillow now. Why do they have to fight all the time? I don’t get; why can’t they just get along? I can still hear them screaming at each other, and then the next thing I know I hear the deafening smash of gl. I freeze; straining my ears to hear something. The voices stopped, but I hear a faint whimper and the crunching of gl; as if someone is walking on it. I slowly get up from my bed and walk in the darkness of my room towards my bedroom door. I open the door slowly and poke my head out into the dark hallway. I can’t see anything but the dim light coming from the entrance of the kitchen. I take a few steps out into the hallway, and make my way towards the kitchen. Being as quiet as can be I make it to the entrance of the kitchen, and peek inside it. I try to yze the scene, and make sense of it. There is blood stained gl covering the tiled floor, my dad is standing over my mom with a broken beer bottle in the air; braced to hit her again, my mom with blood covering her and she looks scared and helpless. I try to scream, but it doesn’t come out; it sounds more like a gasp. My father, still over my mom, turns his gaze towards me. His black eyes are filled with rage and anger. I’m backing away now; trying to run to my room. I reach my door and grab the door knob when I feel I big rough hand grabs the back of my neck.

The same day that the WH questions legitimacy of protesters, it gives legitimacy to Ahmadinejad - something ..?

So much for "mending the fences"... What are the re-election chances for a party that insults 47% [so far] of Americans polled who do not like Obama's Agenda? But the bigger question is while Social Democrats claim the GOP do not have a "plan" and accuse the GOP of hiring protesters to attend town hall meetings, if it were actually true, it seems while 371,000 more Americans lost their jobs in the month of July, the GOP is the only one CREATING them [by SoDem accusation]!

Sm/YG/Cube entertainment?

i would think you have a fair chance although you'd probably have to step up your game in the context of an audition. not only do you need the singing/dancing, but also the personality that the judges feel would be popular with the korean population.

I will be flying one-way to Taipei in 2 weeks and want to know if I should fly First Cl. Is it worth it?

I ask because it is a really long flight (16 hours) and I hear that you can get really cranky, and even sick in Coach because of it being uncomfortable and being surrounded by lots of people. How does it feel to fly First Cl? Will it be worth it?

Why is everyone a hypocrite when it comes to politics?

Actually I havent heard a Conservative praise Bush since 2002. The only briefly supported him after 911, but then seeing tech workers being laid off to be replaced by h15 visa Indians, that pretty much changed.

Can they chase me to Aus, even if it's the wrong name?

Name has nothing to do with it in UK, date of birth and national insurance number is what they use and they wont hle anyone else for the money but if they stay at your address they will send demanding letters to that address. If it was a joint account with your mum then she will be contacted for the money.

I agree..... and if you don't mind my saying, you don't seem like the type to be rummaging about in politics. With the avatar and name and all, I'd expect to find you in any other section.
