This may just be me but to me when i hear the word "homo" it sounds offensive. Obviously I know that "homo" is short for homosexual, but to me it seems more offensive then calling someone a "hetero." For example if you were to call a homosexual person a "homo" does it sound more offensive than calling a straight person a "hetero." What do you think? Do you think they are equal?

interesting parallels birth stories include:

Both women conceived during a remarkable vision.

Both Maya and Mary gave birth while traveling away from home on a journey.

Both women gave birth "outside" of a home.

Heavenly wonders appeared in the sky.

Angels announced the newborn as "savior" of the world.

Sages came to visit the newborn and make prophecies of auspicious careers.

I want a phone that is loud when it rings, has a good calendar and does all the latest and greatest things without the price of the iphone.. Any suggestions? I don't want to change carriers either (although at times i think i should). I'm currently with Sprint. Any gripes about the Trio? Looking at that right now.

Most of my MP3s have a fairly consistent audio level (volume). However, once in a while one will play that's very loud compared to the rest. I'd like to be able to "adjust" the audio level of that specific MP3 within the file itself (not by turning the volume down on my player) to bring it in line with the rest of my collection. Is this possible?

A "Home Diagnosis Machine" that looks like a mini MRI machine in your home that you will use daily. First the machine takes a drop of your blood and saliva as a sample. Then you lay on the machine as it brings into the tube, just like an MRI machine. It scans you body for about 5 minutes, taking 3D images of your body and examining the blood. It would be able to tell you everything from your blood pressure, to cancerous tumors, to what vitamins you lack. Your results will be dispalyed on a touch screen. Everything that needs your attention will be shown to you. It will diagnose you and display what medication, vitamins, or medical attention you need. You select the medication you need to buy and the machine will send it to your local pharmacy.

There are a few earthquake scientists at my church who have been saying for awhile now that the "big one" is coming to L.A. at any moment. Obviously this hasn't happened yet. Does anyone have any reasons, scientific, intuition-wise, etc. that it may or may not happen?

My boyfriend of 2 years will say the words if I say it first but he cant say "I love you" first. I have discussed this with him. He says that he just doesnt say it all the time. The problem is, he NEVER says it. When he does reply, it is usually mumbled or very inaudible. He acts like he loves me. He talks about our future together. I am a very emotional person, and I am having problems with his lack of emotion. What can I do to soften him up? Has any one else had a similar problem?

email so that I will always have it. But when I try to pull it up because I don't have Word it's coming up as Word pad document and the resume looks different in font size kinda small. If I email it from my computer to someone else will they receive it in the size of the Word pad document or like regular Word?

Hello, folks.

FOUR times in my life, I've been taken aside by supervisors to tell me that coworkers have complained of an odor about me. One time, I believe it was because my plaster walking-cast got wet in the rain. But the other three stymie me.

I don't wear clothes that aren't clean. I shower every day -- sometimes twice! I frequently wear two pairs of socks, because I know that my feet sweat a lot.

I use deodorant / antiperspirant always. I don't always wear cologne -- my dad used to tell me I wore too much -- I might have issues still.

At one point, I was going to the gym immediately before going to work -- thusly, my dirty gym clothes were in a bag below my desk.

I can't afford to buy a lot of new clothes, but am afraid that there's something in my wardrobe now. I also can't afford to buy new shoes -- I need to make them last a long time.

I don't know what to do. It's demoralizing to here this from a supervisor. I need your thoughts.

Thanks, y'all.

I just got him a week ago, he is 1 year old beautiful He hides and sneaks around us. No toy or snack will get him out or close to us. I got him from the rescue leage. They said he was shy, I think he was abused. Any suggestions to get him to like me and trust me. He does play with my 7 year old cat. No problem there. I would like to get him to be my lap cat and I can't even get him near me. Help?

Me and a few friends are going to San Antonio soon and I was wondering where are some places to eat that are cheap, but nice? We're college kids and we're only going to be there for 3 days.
Cowboys training camp... we're really excited.

Also, we're looking at hotels that are cheap. Is the Red Roof Inn a safe hotel? I stayed in one in Missouri and it wasn't the Hilton, but it wasn't horrible. I was just wondering what you guys thought about the area. Know of any cheap hotels that are better?

Thanks!

I have particularly noted, especially from the latin community, that there is no hesitation to fly flags from their country (Cuba, Puerter Rico, and Mexico) as well as speaking their native language blatently in public.

What happened to the respect for the country you live in? My great, great, grandparents would role over in their graves if I was out in public blubbering Italian and hanging Italian flags from my balcony and car.
