Four days ago I smashed my finger in my car door. I was leaning against my car to move out of the way of a passing car (with my hand on the front driverside door), my body shut the back door with my middle finger sticking out so that the hinge side of the door shut on it. It immediately pushed it out. And.. it was quite painful.
So far I've tried to continue to ice it, and take pain relievers. Today there has been no pain, but I can still feel the pressure.
At first it was a very light blue at the bottom of the nail, with a dark blue spot in the middle. As the days went by, the dark blue spot grew and is now just at the top of the nail and past it.. The rest of the nail is a bluish grey color. My mother says it will be fine, but my father says I should see a doctor.

Im trying to write a song. I know what I want to write about, I got my notebook ready to record the words. Only problem... I cant think of any words. Its like... Ive got writers block, and it is sooo frustrating! Its a good subject though. And I want it to be a pop song. But without the words...

This question is aimed mostly at writers who have experienced writer's block before, and Im not talking about just song writers. Book writers, poem writers, even journalists. Any one who writes. But everyone is welcome to answer the question.

How do I get rid of writers block and think of the words to this so far non existant song? Any advice on how I can think creatively again? Any answers appreciated, thx!

We had better prepare to see the worst times that this world has ever seen. In Mat 24 he is addressing believers. The scripture also states that there is a great falling away of the faith that takes place. The fire that is coming to try the world is the same fire that will purify the Body of Christ. The "rapture" and the raising of those who have died in Christ are an almost simultaneous event that will occur (at the last trumpet)at the return of Jesus to set up the millennial kingdom. Be prepared to endure until the end.
The "pretribulation rapture" teaching takes scripture out of context and is comforting to the flesh but we need to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.

One last note - If I am wrong and we are taken out before tribulation, I will still be ready. If we have to go through it, will you be prepared?

Our wedding ceremony will be outside March 8th. We are on a lake (the main reason we picked the location) however, the trees that are planted in the concrete of the facility are going to be leave-less since spring hasn't quite come about yet.

The ceremony is at 2pm, so lights will just look tacky.

I was thinking tulle? But have no clue what to do with it or how to wrap the dead looking trees with it.

Ideas?

i hear some say that they are not paying taxes, but i do not see how that is possible. their pay is taxed, or at least it is supposed to be if the employer is doing the right thing. if they are renting apartments or houses they are paying property taxes to the land owner who is paying the state.
i hear that they are using the "public health" services, if their employers offered group insurance they would not be using the public services.
every time the immigrant buys something in Texas he pays sales tax, every time he buys gasoline in Texas he pays gasoline taxes and road use taxes. the immigrant is not exempt from taxes, he is paying the same as you and me.
Texas is a big state and we hafve plenty of room for more people who pay taxes to the state, like immigrants do

Okay so here it is. I just graduated college with a huge amount of debt. The problem I have is not including the federal loans and and one private loan. I have two credit cards. One with $1700 and the other has like $5700. It was stupid at the time to use these credit cards to pay for books/tuition/rent/spring break but now its all added up and I can barely keep up with the minimum payments. the $5700 one has a minimum payment of $150 so as you can see its getting desperate. I don't want to open another card and try to transfer it b/c I've already done that once and I don't want it to hurt my score any more. What is everyone's suggestion?

another Bushy trying to delay this war for bush until he gets out of office.
"I will recommend we downsize our troop levels, but we should not keep them to a force so small that we lose what progress we have made up until now"

There is no progress.
We cant keep the positions we have because theres not enough U.S. soldiers, plain and simple.

Theres too much territory to shift around, that the enemy resorts to being mobile.
Heck, we take a positon and move, and look what happens they overflood a different position.

This who aim is to make it so there are permanent bases in IRAQ,,thats the entire goal here.

Its time to pull out..we can pull out 10,000 troops per month
and as far as civilian contractors.....that should be the responsibility of the contracting companies, and on their own bill.

Why should the U.S. government give out no-bid grants to civilian contracting comapnies, then pay every one of their bills?
Thats a sham!
The biggest sham of them all.

And we're paying for that

Hi, I was in a car crash in which my friend was driving and, I was a passenger. I had to go to the ER and get x-rays, and med's. My question is that will I get a check for my pain and suffering? I know her insurance is paying my ER bills and x-ray, but I was just wondering that because I was just a passenger, and it wasn't my fault. Thanks

We see it here all the time ... somebody asks, "What is wrong with my dog"? Then the inquisitor describes the symptoms. That's when the fun begins.

All the "licensed veterinarians" on YA are quick to chime in with an array of specific illnesses, as well as treatments for the afflictions. The only thing I haven't seen yet on YA is a valid prescription!
It's one thing when someone replys, "My dog has (had) ____, and these are my experiences ...". But folks here are quick to diagnose parvovirus, kennel cough, hip dysplasia et al, as well as treatments for these afflictions.
If I was a licensed veterinarian (I'm not), I would do a thorough hands on exam and possibly lab tests before I ever diagnosed a pet. You can't do that online!
So here's my question: What's worse ... people asking for veterinary advice (especially when it's obvious they should be at the vet), or folks offering veterinary advice (especially when they're not qualified)?
