So I work 11 miles from home, and the last 4 miles of the trip is all uphill. In addition, No buses service the last 4 miles of the trip either. I have to be at work each day by 7:00am. I live in Huntington Beach, a suburban city in Southern California in which there is no light rail or subway to be found.

I have been riding a motorcycle to do this, but wonder if there are more effective or environmentally friendly ways? I rode my bicycle once or twice but I felt fatigued the rest of the day. I walked the last 4 miles a few times but it takes wayyy too long.

Because with my mother it'd be really akward and with my close friend she's taught people before it'd still be akward but maybe not as much. I dont know she offered tonight but i was sorta scared i guess you could say? I really need to start wearing them i just dont know where to start. [i want to also.] Have any advice or anything about all of it?

And FYI my mother is like really weird about sex, tampons, and all that stuff, she like avoids . And my friends are all open about everything.

I will be flying to San Diego in August for a 10-month stay as an exchange student.

Let me explain my situation a bit. I will be going to San Diego State University and am in the middle of applying for on campus accommodations. I can't drive so I'll either travel using the local trolley and buses. I'm also thinking of ride a bike.

I've never been to the US and I don't know what to expect in terms of anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if your advice includes which side of the road I should be walking on. Actually the smallest things might be the most helpful. Hope you get my point.

My best friend is turning 40. Her husband & I are trying to plan this. Actually, he's kind of put this all on me, but I don't care. I plan - he's paying (but tight on money) Nascar theme - huge JG fan! Huge! It's at a hall - we have to bring everything, right down to silverware. Got people who will help decorate, but I only have 2 1/2 hrs to do it. Got the cake all set, I think.
Any suggestions? It's in 1 (one) month !! Any help would be appreciated!

There is a major issue at my place of work regarding scheduling. I do not typically receive my schedule for any given week (Sunday-Saturday) until the Friday before the week starts. Thus, I only have one day of notice as to when I work on any Sunday. Surely there must be some sort of labor law that dictates how far in advance employees are supposed to post schedules for part-time employees with variable shifts. I have tried searching online, but haven't been able to find any information. I live in Oregon, if it's any help.

I'd like to build something like this:

http://www.askthebuilder.com/B181_Dry_Stack_Barbeque_Plan.shtml

Here's what I have:

1 big concrete patio slab.

500 bricks leftover from the house (veneer)

Questions:

Can I use regular bricks, like the ones I have? Do I REALLY need fire bricks?

Can I use my concrete patio as a base, or should I make a new base?

Will a mortarless BBQ be able to withstand heavy winds (I live in Houston)?

Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Have any mortarless BBQ plans?

Thanks!

My dad is telling me to at least look at a few, and says he has not had any problems with his Amanti in the 2 years he's had it. He bought it brand new, and that's what he's recommending to me, to buy a brand new Kia.

Might this be the word for describing those who deny Zeus, Odin, and countless other gods yet believe in the Christian god?

Note: Much to my chagrin, I DID NOT coin this awesome word! The credit for this wonderful word goes to 'farien3' - you rawk, dude!

I've heard that changes in the Earth's ionosphere can greatly extend the coverage of AM radio stations, but 800 miles? Talk about coverage. I tuned into a radio program tonight, had the wrong affiliate, and found out I was listening to the NM feed here in LA instead of my local station.

Do you like a man to be more agressive and take control or do you like to be more gentle and just kind of go with the flow and both make moves?

I'm not saying de rouhg at all.. but just lead.. and tell you what to do most the time and not be sooo gentle and whimpy...

Or do you like to take control most of the time?
