I'm fifteen, and there's a rink nearby my place. At around 6, my father brought us [the kids] to the rink. He had been a skater.

I had been fascinated with skating but my parents rejected, citing that it's dangerous.
Since 11 I had been going to the rink occasionally and on my birthday. But the shocking thing is that I still cannot skate. Actually I believe I can, but I don't know how to fall and stop. Afraid of breaking bones, you see.

This year on my birthday my wrist suffered the impact and the bones crushed together. My mother did not want me to skate anymore.

My father offered to teach me. I accepted. I had been very embarrassed as I couldn't skate. After watching the Winter Olympics, I know I want to skate and learnt that rentals are horrible. I saved up to buy skates but I am afraid that it's only an impulse.

I feel that I really want to learn. What do I do? Do I sign up for a course or let my father teach or??? Am I too old? I'm not going pro tho.

would coleus bedding plants be a good choice in an area where squirrels always eat everything you plant?

My wife had a tummy tuck and breast lift three weeks ago. The doctor (in Colombia) has been using laser treatment to reduce scarring. Now that she is coming back home are there any good products for reducing cosmetic surgery scars? I just saw an ad on TV for Mederma. Has anyone used that or some other product? Were they useful?

I am so mad I wanna cut off all communication with my family!
I have a friend that I met a year and a half ago and mom hasnt met her, but she says" don,t go drinking or partying with her." and the like.

First things first I am 30 yrs. old. Should she just STFU?

And my friend, for starters is NOT a partier! She is handicapped and has to stay home a lot because of it. And drinking for here is RARE!I mean RARE!

I think mom is such a stuck up *****! That,s what I think!
Do you think she has any right to judge people BEFORE she meets them?

After his MVP season last year and winning MLB Player of the Month of May, Alex Rodriguez was booed after failing to get a hit in his first at-bat after his 2-run walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 12th inning on Wednesday.

Steve Phillips from ESPN commented on this, saying that A-Rod will not be able to reach his full potential with the fans jumping on his back and suggested that he be moved during the offseason.

I'm not asking whether or not A-Rod DESERVES to be treated as he is now, but do you think he can reach his full potential in pinstripes? Do you think he should be dealt before next season? Can the Yankees contend for the Division if it continues?

in 1979 i fell in the hallway of my school and broke my two front teeth off at the gums, I had temporary "posts" implanted into the bone but these posts have since loosened and fell out, leaving an open hole straight to the bone. I also had my wisdom teeth pulled a few years back and the Oral surgeoon chipped the 4 surrounding teeth next to the wisdoms and now they are broken off at the gums as well. I have learned to deal with the pain without using orajel or anything (which i have used an abundance in the past)
The companies I have worked for in the past didnt cover anything becuase it was pre-existing conditions and i do not have the cash to pay for Dental work but know this cannot be done without I.V Sedation and Gas. TODAY i woke up and my top lip is very swollen and I have pain up to the bottom of my nose and cannot afford to goto the dentist. My teeth have been broken off at the gums for years but I dont have insurance. Im afraid of bone cancer. suggestions?

I would like to know how people from different nations think about people of other nations 'using' their culture?
Like wering their liveries or making their music or food.
Best expample: how does a Japanese think about an European wearing a kimono
or an Indian thinking of an American wearing a sari?

I can't really say because I belong to two different cultures equally less.

so tell me what you think by seeing such?

Another person asked this question but the answers related to drywall, not plaster. Because plaster is applied on top of lath, I understand it is very difficult to put nails in the wall without cracking it. But there must be a way. Hanging pictures from crown molding is not an option here.

My wife has made out with another man over a while ago, yet when they even see each other today in a party and all, they look in each others eyes like they still like each other. the man stares at my woman's eyes and she gazes in to his as well. it may be months before they see, but they do gaze, and my wife observes him, as if i don't notice that. The other thing is the man emails my wife in myspace, in her yahoo, and at work about anything and everything normal, general, activity, and family related. my wife may reply sometimes 3 times to him in one day, other times she may just read his message and not reply to him at all for days. and sometimes she doesn't reply, but when she does reply, she gives him her daily schedule or whatever he asks for? why? and what is the significane of reading an email forward or general email sent at work by this man asking for a read confirmation. She always reads his forwards, even the funny ones, and she does read them.

He is 36. And since he told me he has either totally avoided me or has been acting strange. I told him that I loved him too. He suffers from mild depression, I thought that might be a part of it. Why is he doing this?

He's a square sponge. He lives in "bikini bottom." His closest friend is a starfish. (Starfish is a slang term for another bodily part). He works at the Crusty CRAB shack. His worst enemy is Squidward (who kinda looks like a sperm without being obvious about it.)
It just seems to me that all the evidence points to Spongebob Squarepants as being a contraceptive sponge. What do you think, and why?
