Mitch, a hard-shell Southern Baptist, loved to sneak away to the race track. One day he was there betting on the ponies and nearly losing his shirt when he noticed this priest who stepped out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, this horse - a very long shot - won the race.

Mitch was most interested to see what the priest did the next race. Sure enough, he watched the priest step out onto the track as the 5th race horses lined up, and placed this blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Mitch made a beeline for the window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race. Mitch collected his winning and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest bestowed his blessing on for the 6th race.

The priest showed, blessed a horse, Mitch bet on it, and it won! Mitch was elated! As the day went on, the priest continued blessing one of the horses, and it always came in first. Mitch began to pull in some serious money, and by the last race, he knew his wildest dreams were going to come true. He made a quick stop at the ATM, withdrew big money and awaited the priest's blessing that would tell him which horse to bet on.

True to his pattern, the priest stepped out onto the track before the last race and blessed the forehead, eyes, ears and hooves of one of the horses. Mitchell bet every cent, and watched the horse come in dead last. Mitchell was dumbfounded. He made his way to the track and when he found the priest, he demanded, "What happened, Father? All day you blessed horses and they won. The last race, you blessed a horse and he lost. Now I've lost my savings, thanks to you!!"

The priest nodded wisely and said, "That's the problem with you Protestants... you can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and the last rites."

For example if it cost you $31 to drive to your destination yet only $30 to fly, would you still rather fly than drive?

This is purely a logical type question so please remove any moral belief from it please. Back before legal abortions on demand there was a phrase called "if you play you pay" meaning if you had sex and the girl got pregnant then both parties would be stuck with the baby, either by marriage or child support. The US Supreme Court said that women are the only ones that can chose to have an abortion or not because it is their bodies and is a matter of privacy. It is HER choice to have a kid. If the man wants it but she doesn't the man has no choice if she aborts. So why then, if it is HER choice to have the baby, does the man have to pay child support for her choice? It was HER choice to have the baby so why should the man be stuck with the ramificatins of HER choices, after all, it was a private matter and HER CHOICE?

I. You ran two chromatography tests, using the same dye
a. In the first experiment you used a strip of paper ten cm long, and the second 20 cm. Will the Rf value be the same or not?
b. In the first experiment you used water as a solvent, and the second ethyl alcohol as a solvent, will they be the same or different?

II. You ran two chromatography tests, with different dye
a. with the same size strip of paper, and solvent. Same or different?


I would appreciate help, and I would appreciate thorough answers more. Thank you very much.

I want to be able to be more natural in conversation, because I'm always tense and I have to think over my words three times to make sure I won't offend anyone. I'm always worried about what people who don't even notice me will think of me, I'm extremely tense ALL the time, I can't even have a normal conversation with my friends anymore because I have to think and think over what I'm about to say.

I'm overtly analytical, and while sometimes this is a good trait, it's getting in the way of even speaking sometimes. I don't trust anyone at face value and I'm continuously worried over little things that will never happen.

I think WAY too much about things that might happen and it stops me from being spontaneous or, well, fun.

I want to be more comfortable, relaxed in public, when speaking, even when I'm just thinking. Is there any way?

I have taken in 2 dogs. They are both female and both pugs. They have been together forever but they have been really depressed since I've brought them home. They don't want to eat, they don't want to play, they only want to lay around and sleep. How long until they are acting normal? I know they miss their family. Do they make doggie paxil??? (J/K)

This forum to me really emphasises the difference in our cultures. In Australia we are very competitive when it comes to sport, and alot of times we are fighting out of our division, in terms of population.Whinging is never an option, its just the way we are brought up. You fight and you try beat them , if you lose, you gave it your all, but you were not good enough on the day. ... credit to the other team, its that simple. Im not saying Aussies are perfect by any means, but if someone starts whinging, they are very quickly left standing on there own.
This Sri Lankan mentality of whinging and complaining, along with accusations is just so foreign to us. Take the focus off the other team and concentrate on yourself.
Indians may be bias but I think they are fair and appreciate talent of players that aren't Indian. I think the English take losing the best, and with good humour, I guess they have had plenty of practise.

whats your opinion?
