My teacher(100.00%)
Hon, you are playing with fire. If you do accept his offer to be an assistant than you will have to maintain a certain professional distance. If you don't think you will be able to do this than this is something you should walk away from; this is bes...
Bush administration's policies affected your personal freedoms?(100.00%)
None of his policies have affected me personally yet. I refuse to say everything is ok just because most of the people who's civil rights were abridged were a different religion or color.

Who likes the show queer as folk?
I thought the show was entertaining but it wasn't my favorite. I thought "Tales of the City" was better. It was a PBS miniseries that depicted gay San Francisco culture in the 1970's.
euphoniums and tubas!
I used to play baritone/euphonium. I started on that in 6th grade anyway. Got really good at it. In high school I switched to trombone so I could play in the jazz ensemble though.
Which are you?
rickd, while it is reassuring to think that people succeed or fail on their own merit the truth is that many honest hard working people fail and many lazy dishonest people succeed. The whole paranoia of redistribution of wealth comes down to a fear th...

Who was Around in the 60s or 70s Era?
After thinking about I remember a few more things. There was the moon landing in 1969. I remember watching the first steps on the moon live on TV. There was the bicentenial in 1976 which was a huge celebration. Much of the clothes were awful. Bell...
Who was Around in the 60s or 70s Era?(100.00%)
The 60's and 70's were cold war years. We worried about a WWIII between the US and USSR ending civilation as we know it. To understand the fear we lived under think of the threat of global warming and then increase it 1,000,000 times. We pondered if...
Is it true that there are more women than men in this world.
It is very close.
105 boys are born for every 100 girls but the mortality rate for males at every age is slightly higher than for females so it about evens out.
In the US there are slightly more females than males but worldwide there are slightly...
Will Hillary overshadow Obama ?
Looks like both President and Senator Clinton are doing everything they can to get Obama elected. Both of their speeches were compelling. In fact if Hilary spoke as well on her own behalf as she did supporting Obama she might have been the Democratic...
Is it bad that I slouch?
Try to figure out why you slouch.
If it is because of weak trapezoids and/or tight pectoral muscles? Do you have a skeletal deformity? My wife slouches but her vertebrae are wedge shaped rather than rectangular so she really can't stand straight, ...

Performance enhancing drugs?(100.00%)
For the most part athletes want drug testing and clean sports.
Athletes who use performance enhancing drugs usually only do so because they believe that other competitors do and they must do so in order to be competitive. This becomes a viscous cir...
Comebacks for vego debate 2
1) There are lots of good sources of iron other than meat like leafy vegetables and legumes.
2) Whole grains, vegetables, and fruits are very healthy. Meat has lots of artery clogging saturated fats and cholesterol. On the average vegetarians live...
John McCain announces his plan to end the housing sell off.
Everyone seemed to think that home prices would keep going up without end. While home prices had gone up for a long time it was pretty unrealistic to think that this would continue forever with no blips.
Everyone thought of a home as something you ...
How do I download and play videos on a psp?
I use a program PSP Video 9 to convert downloaded videos into the format playable then load them on my PSP. Every now and then a video I convert won't play but in general it works very well. One tip I'll pass on about this program is with the defau...
Feeling like your fallin, whilst trying to sleep.
A doctor told me that when you jerk yourself awake because you think you are falling it is because you are experiencing sleep apnea. When you stop breathing in your sleep this is your body's way of quickly getting you to breath. I'm not 100% sure thi...

Loosing 20 lbs in a month is a pretty tall order. Remember that the last few lbs are the hardest.

calorie intake? Can this be right?
I was reading that Lance Armstrong measured his food and based on how much he trained he ate just the right amount. Perhaps to be an athlete at his level you have to count calories like that.
When I was a competitive bike racer I thought nothing of...
I am a veggie, advice me some protein supplement(100.00%)
Eat a varied diet of healthy foods and you will get all the protein you require.
Eat your whole grains, legumes, potatoes, and vegetables and you won't have any problem.

how many glasses of milk should I drink a day?(100.00%)
I'd say zero.
What other mammal drinks the milk of another species? What other mammal drinks milk into adulthood?
The way I see it dairy is the most unhealthy thing we consume.
Milk does have calcium but it is also high in protein. Processi...
vegetarian tacos (urgent!)
The only thing you can do is ask. Traditionally refried beans are made with lard but many people use something else to make them healthier or so vegetarians can eat them. Another potential problem is rice. Some people use chicken broth when they mak...
nickelback-rockstar/annoying!
Not really a nickelback fan myself. Rockstar is a pretty catchy tune but it has been massively overplayed. My 5 year old daughter is obsessed with that song and knows most of the lyrics. Suffice it to say that I've heard this song way too many times...
too strong
That sounds like a bizarre explanation to me. Bones grow when the growth plates on the ends of bones lay down more bone; the strength of the bone has nothing to do with this. After adolescence these areas thin and growth stops. Most women reach thei...
A view on Life? Religion or Not?
Reading about your worldview brings to mind two faiths that have parallels.
The general view of Unitarian Universalists is that each individual should embark on their own search for truth. There is little in the way of core dogma here; just a frame...
too much carbs
Carbs are the body's preferred fuel. Carbs got a bad wrap durring the Atkin's craze.
If you are eating 100% whole wheat bread and brown rice these are in fact very healthy. Of course too much of anything is going to keep you from loosing weight.

The thing you have to consider is that religion only makes sense to believers.
For those outside of Christianity, Christian claims seem as bizarre and unlikely as the claims of other religions seem to Christians.
When a Christian tells me that I'...

Since you are still young there is no reason to panic. Most doctors advise women in their 20's to try for at least a year before seeking help for their infertility. If you are still unsuccessful after a year of trying than consider seeing a fertility...
vegan and vegetarion?
There are all kinds of vegetarians.
The most common type of vegetarianism is lacto-ovo vegetarians. They don't meat meat of any kind (including fish and fowl) but they do eat eggs and dairy.
Veganism is more than just diet. Vegans in addition t...
Gender neutral policies

abortions right or wrong?
So long as we are talking about 1st trimester abortions the decision is the woman's.
what do you think of racism?
Few people will admit to racism or publicly defend racism but the truth is that most people are racist to a certain extent.
I can't always fault people for their racism, people who grew up when it was a widely held view often can't get past it now. ...
does biking burns a lot of calories ?
Like all exercise the amount of calories burnt depends on duration and intensity.
Puttering around coasting most of the time won't burn many calories. If you go a demanding speed and keep at it than you will burn more.
What would it be like if the internet wasn't invented?
When I was younger we didn't have widespread access to the internet. At one time only universities and defence companies were on the net. I still used word processors, spreadsheets, etc. It was just more difficult to share information. I remember i...

Being Vegetarian: I have to point this out.
I've been a vegetarian for 28 years. It's been good for me. I have to admit that I didn't really see any improvement in my health as long as I was still eating lots of eggs and dairy; only when I started to avoid dairy did I see my health improve.

Sore throat??
Salt water can work wonders, do it several times a day if necessary. Chloroseptic also eases sore throat pain.
Naturally, go to a doctor for a severe sore throat or one that doesn't clear up in a few days.
Nursing
There is some math involved in nursing but nothing too complex. You will have to be very precise and accurate when figuring dossages, rates, etc. but it is more detail oriented than anything else.
Quietness is something you will have to overcome. ...
