You are standing in your kitchen. Imagine the time of day, the color of the countertops, the appliances, the cupboards. You hear the hum of the refrigerator. You notice a large, plump, juicy orange lying on the cutting board. You pick it up and feel its weight. You feel the texture of its dimpled, glossy skin. With a sharp knife, you carefully cut a large slice.

As you cut into the orange you notice the rich, liquidy, fragrant juice trickle onto the counter top. You see the bright whiteness of the pulp in contrast with the orange flesh. You see the small drops of orange juice forming on the cut surface. Now imagine lifting this dripping slice of orange to your mouth, and smelling its sweet, fresh scent. Your mouth begins to water as you slowly bite into the orange. It releases a flood of sweet tangy juice into your mouth.

If you started salivating star this question.

Excerpt from an article relating to a judge's decision to reverse an unconstutional ban on same-sex marriages in one Iowa county:

"House Minority Leader Christopher Rants, R-Sioux City, said the judge's ruling only illustrates the need for a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

"I can't believe this is happening in Iowa," he said. "I guarantee you there will a vote on this issue come January."

Translation?

"We need to discriminate against gays and lesbians some more!"

Same think also happened in Kansas. Anti-discrimination laws in effect for gays and lesbians in the work force.

I think it's over for the GOP. They are losing their hold against what had been driving them for decades into power: Xenophobia, homophobia, racial intolerance, and racial animosity.

Isn't Kansas and Iowa traditionally red-state Republican strongholds?

Does this happen to anyone else? I am almost 8 months pregnant and my baby girl is very active, but as soon as I tell my husband or anyone else to come and feel , she stops moving!! So far no-one except me has felt her move, it's like she knows when someone else is coming to have a feel!! I'm sure my husband thinks I'm making it up!

I've had fibromyalgia since 1991 and have been treated with P.T., medications (tramadol, elavil,clonopin, & lorab), stretching, massage therapy (when I can afford it), and some biofeedback. My neck and back are so tied in knots it feels like concrete. My current regiman barely gets me by. I have worked steadily since diagnosed, and done some pretty physical type jobs. I do believe staying active is much better than laying around feeling sorry for myself. It helps me take my mind off of the pain if I keep busy. I couldn't afford to live on disability even if I wanted to, lol.

The recent posts on love are somewhat disturbing.

Please offer any reasons of why one human should love another, or love all other humans.

P.S. are the Christian West and Muslim East loving each other right now? Is a bomb a way of showing your fellow man that you love them? Are republican and democrat Americans showing each other love with the vehemence of their politics? Are the majority showing the minority their love with their discrimination?

I am truly curious about this notion that people perpetuate called love.

Alright, quick background... This problem is a "look back" for my Calculus class & for some reason, I cannot figure out where to go...

Question:
"A cattle rancher has 2300 feet of fencing that will be used to enclose a rectangular feed lot. If one of the dimensions of the feed lot is x , find a formula for the area y of the feed lot (in square feet) as a function of x."

My proposed Answer (not yet complete, but this is what i have so far)
2x+2y=2300
x+y=1150
x*y= ?

now what??

Please help! Thank you!

Since the companies have to respond within 30 days, and some of them won't in that time period? Are there any negative affects this might have? Or does it depend on what I say when I dispute the items? For instance, if I say I never paid this late, what could happen? Is this risky?

This credit business is ridiculous.

Thank you!

A lot of household chemicals have that warning label. Apparently, it is not good to throw-up after someone accidentally swalled that chemical. Why?

Hello everyone,

I recently became a vegetarian and I've been having trouble keeping my weight on. Now I'm already a fully grown 23 year old who weighs 50kg so I don't really want to lose anymore.

I've always been rubbish with food and knowing what is good for me and what has what in it. Could you give me some advice of which foods to eat which would supply me with the substances to keep me healthy and keep my iron levels up (I always border on anaemic! Oh and I'd prefer to stay away from supplements or tablet vitamins.

Cheers

So, I'm not complaining. I know it's just habit/custom for people to say that, and there are plenty of situations where I respond to things with "I"m sorry." too.
But my mom died not too long ago, and that seems to be the one thing people say that absolutely drives me insane...along with "Are you okay?" but that's another story.
I just never know how I'm supposed to respond.
I usually just say "Thank you" and give an awkward half smile or "Thanks, I appreciate it."
But is that an inappropriate response?
I know a lot of people respond with "It's okay"...but that would be lying, and I don't really feel like that's an appropriate way for me to respond to such a thing either.
And it just seems to get so old. I've heard that phrase more times in the past 2 months than I have in the 18 years I've been on this earth. I mean how else do you respond to that?

I have a close guy friend of mine whom I 've known for over a few years.He happens to happily married, and from what I understand he and his wife have what you would consider an"open relationship"...they've even went so far in having relations with other people outside of their relationship.During the time that me and my friend communicated, his wife was very aware that he and I we're phone buddiesI even thoughhis wife and I hadn't met each other face to face, she invited me out several times and she would invite me to family outings, but then I lost my job, and my friend rented me out a room out of thier house from that point on everything changed with his wife, she didn;t really speak to me, I'd smile and say hi, she would like at me all crazy..then everytime I'm at home she would close her bedroom door for some reason, she was just very mean , you can tell she really didn;t care for me and I can't figure out why?

I got in this situation which got me into flirting with this guy.
My friend looked at the convos and thought he liked me.
She kept putting these thoughts in my head, about me and the guy, and I started to like him.
She kept trying to hook us two up. We asked him to hang with us, my friend and I, but then he couldn't go.
Then I left on an almost 3 week vaca.
When I got back my 'crush' and my friend had hung out alot, and then she started to like him.
So now she likes him, and I can't like him.
