My brother is living very dangerously, he's a drunk, and to my knowledge very deeply into cocaine.
He's been into drugs since he was 13 and he'd going to be 28 in Feb, but his life is just getting worst and worst. His personality is just disappearing, last time I saw him I barely reconzied him.
He has always had a problem with authority, he gets his back up when I've tried to talk to him before. And down plays and says things like "he used to do cocaine every few hours but, only rarely does it now" which I can't believe....of course." But you can't fight with him.
How can I approach him?? Any suggestions on what to say to reach someone like this?
If there's anyone out there that was steeped in drugs answering....what would you have listened to.
I KNOW I don't have much time with him......everything in me says he's almost reached the end of this lifestyle.....in the bad way. My heart breaks, he's the only sibling I have.

Im taking chem online and the book I have is awful. I dont understand reactions and how to predict them. Can anyone help me with this question. Thanks!

Predict whether a reaction is likely to occur for the following. If so, write the net ionic reaction.
a) MgBr2 (aq) + ZnSO4 (aq) 
b) BaS (aq) + CuSO4 (aq) 

I have a 2000 Chevy Cavalier. The cars temperature is fluxuating from very hot to normal. It seems to be completely random. Sometimes it happens when i Idle other times when I'm driving, usually happens when the a/c is on. I have replaced the fan which was broken, but the problem is still persisting. I plan on replacing the belt b/c it is worn, and also putting in a new 180 degree thermostat. Is there anyone out there that has had a similar situation and found out what the deal was. please respond.

Thanks
Kevin

One of my close friends [Cass], who I will not see in a long while, gave me a really cute/expensive pen as a goodbye gift.

My other friend[Dwight] got upset,because he doesnt like Cass, and when I was not looking he dipped the cover part of the pen into "white off or liquid paper".You know that white thing you use to erase mistakes made by a pen?

Anyways what he did only came to my attention a few minutes ago and the liquid paper is dry and wont come off.

I'm hurt not because the pen is expensive but because other than the memories I have of Cass this is the only tangible object I have.

I feel like yelling at Dwight but I am currently trying to control my anger as I had a problem with it a few days ago.Dwight is still over at my place and I am getting more upset everytime I look at him.

Will it be rude to ask him to leave?
Or should I sit him down and talk about it?

BTW-anyone know how I can get the liquid paper off? Water isnt working.

Thanks for your answers.

I can't help it.. one day I wore an outfit that I thought was really cool and I really loved it, and everyone said that I was trying to get a "boyfriend" and was trying to befriend the "popular" crowd by dressing "cool"... I went home for lunch, changed my outfit, and cried. I want to change this so much... how can a shy person do this?

in a remote post in the African desert.

During his first inspection of the outfit, he noticed a camel hitched up behind the mess tent.

He asks the First Sergeant why the camel is kept there.

"Well sir, as you know, there are 250 men here on the post and no women.
And sometimes the men have "urges". That's why we have the Molly the Camel."


The Captain says, "I can't say that I condone this, but I understand about "urges". The camel can stay."

About a month later, the Captain starts having his own "urges" and asks the First Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent.

Putting a ladder behind the camel, the Captain stands on the ladder, pulls his pants down and has wild, insane sex with Molly.

When he's done, he asks the First Sergeant, "Is that how the men do it?"

"No not really, sir... they usually just ride the camel into town where the girls are".

Some people believe that calculators have eliminated the need to learn the skills to perform mathematical operations by hand. State your position on this belief, and then support your position with real-life stories or examples.
