and I remembered about a year ago, at a Cracker Barrel in Knoxville, they took 20 minutes to bring our drinks, another 10 to take our order, and then the waitress messed up the order and got snippy saying we ordered wrong. We were nice and polite about it, manager offered to buy us dessert, which we declined.

So, I was thinking I'd email the Rev. Al Sharpton and see if he'd pay for my lawsuit against Cracker Barrel, I mean we were only offered a free dessert, not a free meal like the black lady was. That sounds like discrimination doesn't it? Think The Rev will pay for my lawsuit being a blonde hair blue eyed white female? If not, I could sue him too huh?

So, is everyone getting sick and tired of everything being made into a racial issue?


(By the by, I'm not rascist in any way, shape, or form. Got friends and acquaintances from all kinds of backgrounds that I love dearly. )

I like you ask the most ridiculous and disturbing crap just to get a reaction out of people
you learn a lot about people when they are in a circumstance where they're uncomfortable. in this day and age the more you know about people the better off you are. Its kind of a crappy way to find out about people, i could really care less because if a response or question on some internet website really disturbes you, your a dork, and you need to step out into the real world and stop being a hermit crab.

Some people have a very strong conscious mind which can make all the connections necessary for criticial and abstract thinking. Is it possible that someone could not have such a conscious mind but could be subconsciously genius making all the connections without being able to consciously describe them?

I asked a while ago about this, but I there was still some confusion in my mind. My ultimate goal is to use power electric heating coil from human powered bike. I was wondering, I will I be able to create enough power to power the coil?

Here's what I have so far: I took the motor out from an old fan, and I was thinking about directly connecting that to the bike. My question is would that work? If so, about how much power will I be able to get out of it? Am I going to need anything like an inverter? or can I just connect to the two end terminals to the coil, and that would work? Also, am I going to need a diode? Basically, what I am trying to ask is how would I put everything together? I have bits of info, just need to figure everything out.

Also, as for the coil, how does the wattage rating work? I am thinking of using maybe like a teapot coil..

Thanks in advance!!

I figure I might get a few answers here.

I'm currently 10 weeks 6 days preggers. I'm having the worst case of insomnia(3-4 times a week) I've tried most tips I could find online regarding warm baths. Cutting out caffeine after lunch, No naps during the day. Chamomile tea before bed.

I've currently moved out of our bed, been sleeping on the couch last few days and even pulled out the bed in our other couch this evening. I lay there. FOREVER and cant get to sleep.

I had my first Midwives appointment this past Monday all all I remembered to ask was in regards to my wicked nausia. Of course I had decent sleep sunday night so insomnia was not on my brain.

SINCE finding out I was pregnant 5 weeks agoI've called in sick at least once a week. AND all last week.

I really cant afford to be taking more time off. Maybe I should call back my midwifes to see if they can suggest anything

I am a Catholic who is just starting to read about Islam. Please forgive me if I sound ignorant, I am truly asking this with respect.
My question is: According to Islam, the angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammad many times. You say that Muhammad is the last prophet that God will send to the world. You also believe that there were other prophets before him, like Noah, Moses, David, & Jesus. According to our Bible, God spoke directly to Noah, Moses & David & spoke through Jesus (becuz we believe Jesus is the Son of God). Does Islam believe that God spoke directly to some of these other prophets like we do? If so, I was wondering why Muhammad would be called the greatest prophet if God didn't speak to him directly, that an angel did? I would think that the prophets that God spoke directly to would be greater than one that a angel spoke to. Also, in Christianity 'angel' means 'messenger of God'. In Arabic, doesn't Muhammad mean "messenger of God"? Would he then be thought of as an angel? Thnx
