My parents are both one of 12. My mum is healthy and so are most of her brothers and sisters, but my dad isn't particularly and neither are (were) his brothers/sisters - heart disease, stroke and cancer have taken most of them. They both had relatively similar upbringings - poor with not much to go round. I have a similar look and body-shape (unfortunatley as I am a woman) to my dad so could that mean I have my mum's half of my genes in my physiological make up? Or am I just fooling myself?

At the end of the month the guy I have been dating is going to Iraq for the coast guard for two years and I am also moving across country. We would like to keep in touch as friends. I would like to send him care packages but do not know which items are allowed over there.

One of my favorite books in my collection is The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. When I first bought it, I expected that it would have interesting bits in it, but also (being a nonfiction book) be somewhat boring. When I read it, however, I found myself unable to put it down. For a nonfiction book, this is rare. That's because it has a rather unusual style to it; that is, it reads rather like a novel. There is actual dialogue between the participants in the story (and that's what it seems like; a story), and elements--such as foreshadowing--that are normally found in fiction. At the same time, though, it also presents the facts in a no-nonsense fashion. And that is why it has quickly become my favorite nonfiction work.

Now, it's your turn. What's the best nonfiction book you've ever read, and why?

to test my theory: Most of my friends are Italians and Italian is my second language. People always get interested when they hear me speak Italian and ask me from where in Italy I come from, when I say that I'm not from Italy but Mexico, everybody "disappears" and don't want to continue a conversation (usually at parties). My friends say that I shouldn't say that I am from Mexico but from Italy. I think that's pretty messed up and a big caca de perro...what do you think?

I just installed windows XP as the second OS on my laptop. However, when I boot to XP, I find that I cant connect to the internet at all...there is no "wireless connection" tab in the network connections area of the control panel and no wireless icon in the system tray. Now, my other OS on this laptop is vista, and its working perfectly...wireless internet driver came preinstalled..
SO anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew how I can get the XP OS to start letting me connect wirelessly? Any help would be appreciated.

My cat seems to be getting a chronic bacterial eye infection. It's come back 3 times in the past couple of months. The ointment the vet prescribed to treat bacterial infections clears it up, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help prevent them?

Guys......When you go out to the Clubs and Bars and buy a Lady a drink, do you do it because.......you think you will get lucky? or just because you are a gentleman and are being nice?

Ladies.....When a man buys you a drink, do you feel obligated to have even a small conversation with him or do you think its ok to just nod your head as a thanks and go on with your night? And when a man buys you a drink, can you tell what his intentions are? How?

Time goes only forward, not backwards. But in space, you can move back and forth, left and right, up and down. For each space dimension, you can go in two directions. If time would work in the same way, it would be possible to travel backwards in time. But how would it be the other way around: what would it be like if in all the three space dimensions there were only one direction, like with time?
