lutiien's suggestion of learning calligraphy is a good one. The italic font only requires you to learn a few basic strokes and once mastered looks very nice. If you want to improve your cursive writing than you best bet is to go back to the basics....
I'd say that she is an asset because her strengths and weakinesses compliment McCain's; where McCain is weak she is strong and vice versa. She appeals to a large portion of conservative voters without alienating the religious right..
Depends on your current diet. When I quit eating meat I was very much a meat and potatoes kind of guy so it took me a while to find new foods I liked. Since I didn't like most vegetables and wasnt' used to eating grains and fruits it was probably har...
Of course qualifications are just one part of the process. Both Obama and McCain had to pick running mates that were compatable on issues yet compliment them and fill in their weaknesses. I remember in the move Miracle where the coach said he was...
To me the $64,000 question is, will more people vote for Obama because he is black than won't vote for him because he is black. I suspect that being black is still a liability overall but I'll have to admit that I have no way to scientifically test this.
The short answer is stop eating meat. If you eat a varied diet of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits you will get all the nutrients you need with the possible exception of B12. If you are a strict vegan it is smart to take some kind of suppliment w...
Motorcycles are a lot of fun. Of course they are dangerous as well. Inattentive auto drivers don't always see motorcycles and when you are in an accident the outcome tends to be much worse than it would be in an auto. You have to decide for yourse...
You should not get a tatoo, then tell everyone you know that you have this awesome tattoo but explain that your artist used a special ink that only cool people can see. Then nobody will be want to be uncool so they will all say, "yeah, awesome tattoo,...
Well, I think politics became a lot more personal and a lot dirtier when the Republicans spent $millions of taxpayer dollars trying to come up with anything they could to attack Bill Clinton over. In the end they spent more more money investigating Wh...
So far the RNC has been as dull as watching paint dry. Same old rhetoric over and over. I forced myself to watch governor Palin's speech because it is historic but the Republican party seems entirely devoid of ideas. They keep pusing the same disast...
I think that this whole process of scrutinizing every person every political candidate has ever associated with is a stupid tangent. Who knows, perhaps Ms. Palin supports some of Buchanan's positions (even I support some of his positions) but not othe...
I went to college. I started out in jazz studies. That wasn't working out so I was thinking about changing to musicology. The best undergrad preperation for a career in musicology was music history so I majored in that for a while. To tell the trut...
I think the most important thing is to have the best person for the job. It would be cool to have a president of color or a female vice president but the overriding concern must be who can best execute their duty as president of the US.
I had physical therapy for a shoulder impingement. It seemed to help me. It was expensive because my health insurance didn't pay all of it.
I'm one of the most cynical guys you will meet and I normally hate platitudes but one pearl of wisdom I found is, "Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it." I would recommend that you see your counselor at school to help you put t...
Everyone has days that they dread. I remember at one job I got a new boss who obviously didn't like me. I got a notice that my review was in a week. I knew he was going to trash me by bringing up everything he could negative about me and not give me...
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." -- Karl Rove Growing up I considered the Republican party to be the party of the...
All carbohydrates have the same density of calories/gram. All carbohydrates, healthy and unhealthy have 4 calories/gram. It doesn't mater if you are talking about complex (good) or simple (bad like sugar) they all are 4 calories/gram. Fat on the oth...
Hard to say, lots of things can cause diarrhea. Could be food poisoning, stomach flu, parasites, etc. If you can't seem to completely shake it on your own see a doctor.
My favorite hero from mythology is Prometheus. Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Prometheus was the only hero willing to stand up to Zeus. Of course Prometheus pays quite a price for his theft, he is chained and his liver is pe...
People say that coffee is an acquired taste but I can't remember ever not liking it. When I was 12 I started drinking a mug of coffee with my breakfast. I always liked it hot, strong, and black. Sometimes I'll put some milk in bad coffee but good co...
I trim mine with a comb and scissors. I comb my brows and with the comb against my head clip what protrudes with scissors.
Burning food then measuring the amount of heat it generates will not tell you how many calories you will absorb. Our bodies get no energy from fiber in food but it will burn just fine in a calorimeter. There are numerous sites on the web where you ...
Since this is an open ended question I choose Dennis Kucinich. The only Democrat with enough of a background to start impeachment proceedings against President Bush. While the rest of our do-little Democrats in congress lack the backbone to stand up ...
I got interested in ADD when at my last job I found out that two of my employees had this disorder. My preconceived notion was that ADD was like what teachers called hyperactivity when I was a kid. One of the guys working for me was extremely intelli...
My favorite unhealthy breakfast is a couple very soft poached eggs over dry wheat toast, a big plate full of hash or pan fried potatoes, a bowl of grits, a tall glass of ice cold freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, a slice of apple pie, and coffee hot, ...
Organic foods are good but don't neglect the locality of where you food is produced. There are now large factory organic farms who produce lots of food that is organic by the letter of the law but profits large corporations and is transported thousand...
Mint Chocolate chip. The best version I know of comes from a little ice cream chain called Braums that has stores in South central US.
rickd, I don't hate Bush. I obviously disagree on most issues because he is an arch conservative and I'm a bleeding heart liberal. He seems like a fun person to hang out with. If he still drank he'd probably be a good person to have a beer with. ...
Obama all the way.
In general people get to choose what they will be called. Dan Quayle's real name is James Danforth Quayle. Mit Romney's first name is Willard. My dad used to go by his first name at work and by his middle name in his family. Whenever we answered th...
A lot of kids gain weight before they have a growth spurt. This could be what is going on here. There is no reason to be ashamed or to panic. If you are concerned try to adopt some healthy habits like eating less junk food, sugar and fat and more wh...
Kids who do strength training do need to learn how to lift with proper form and perform lighter weight/higher repetition sets to avoid damaging their growth plates. Strength training is good for you but until you are finished growing you shouldn't t...
Captainmunch, being a vegetarian really isn't about being superior to everyone else. In fact there are people that I've known for years and even ate lunch dozens of times who don't know I'm a vegetarian. I go about my business without fanfare. It ...
Of course the legal drinking age is 21 so you aren't really supposed to drink yet. Most of the problems with alcohol come from drinking it to excess. There may even be some health benefits to moderate alcohol consumption. People who drink one or t...
Seems like a cynical ploy to lure Hillary Clinton supporters over to McCain. I wonder if Clinton got the Democratic nomination McCain would have picked a black man for VP to lure Obama supporters over.
Depends on the person. Some women look great with short hair while others look better with it long. I have a preference for short hair because frankly I find women's necks to be one of the most sensuous parts of their bodies.
What are you eating? If your vegetarian diet is so unsatisfying that you are binging on meat you need to find hearty vegetarian foods that you enjoy and that stick to your ribs. You shouldn't feel constantly deprived as a vegetarian. I've been a veg...
Your dorm may allow aquariums. When I went to college fish were the only pet we were allowed to have. If you have to put your fish down they say the most humane way is to put them in a cup in the freezer.
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...
Yeah, what wildcutee14 said. If you are trying to hide that you were crying go to the bathroom and put a wet washcloth over your eyes for a few minutes.
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. Early after 9/11 when only the fringe left was protesting Bu...
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.
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.
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
