Some days, riding my bike to work seems to take more effort than others. Even when I'm just coasting down hills, it seems like I go significantly faster on some days than on others. It's not the wind. Could a higher air pressure cause this noticable difference?

He left me and 2 kids a year ago and he was the one having the affair and he is the one who filed for divorce, not me. We no longer can talk at all and I've tried and tried to just talk normal without bitterness and he can't do it. He is short, rude and for the 1st time in 17 yrs has called me names like loser & free loader and I don't understand why he has so much anger towards me. He is the one who brought on this nightmare we are going through. It hurts to hear him speak this way and it hurts to see what kind of person he has become. He is not the same man we lived with a year or so ago.

Think if you have a genitic diesease you are likly to pass it on to your kin and potentioally make their life a living hell. The same goes if you were to have other less noticeable effects eg weak immune system or bad eye sight.
To make everyones life better in the future surely it would be a good idea to encourage better 'breeds' of humans to reproduce more. Therefore making the future humans better.
It may be imoral, but would you want your kin inheriting your defects?

My friend is plus size and wants to completely change her look. She has asked me to help her out with ideas and shopping. What clothes are sexy and in style right now. What about shoes? She's a size 10. She is a very sexy woman-how can we let her sexiness shine through so that she can get back into the dating scene again.

neglected her and had an affair with her own cousin, which produced two step sisters (one of whom is semi-retarded) who were raised with the family. The mother beat the girl for asking for a bit more food when she was hungry, then as the girl got older, she had to help raise her 10 bros and sis. The mother rarely called and never wrote or visited (but visited other siblings) when the girl grew up and moved out. Other than being generally messed up, how would this affect a child specifically?

My parents chose to not circumcise me when I was born, and I'm now considering getting circumcised as an adult. I've heard good and bad things on both sides (circumcised you supposedly lose alot of the pleasure, uncircumcised looks smaller and has more risk to disease), has anyone here ever got circumcised as an adult or known someone who has?
I'm taking this seriously, I would greatly appreciate it if everyone else did.

Jibba Jabba always asks me who it is, and I don't have a clue so shall we name him? I suppose I better give this a religious slant so I will ask if he should be named after a Biblical character?
