Okay, I just learned to use this glucose reader that a drug rep gave me. I did a test to make sure I am using it correctly. My number is 129. I ate dinner about 2 1/2 hours ago.

Is this a normal number? I cannot find anywhere on the directions to this thing what a normal number is.

I will not eat/drink tonight and will do this again in the morning. What "should" normal numbers be then?

Is swearing very offensive to the majority of Mormons? It seems like I can't say anything around Mormons. I don't mean to offend anybody or anything, but that's the way that I talk. It's what I grew up around. I just get this feeling that some people want me to live in fantasy land where we find positive ways to express ourselves, which I'm for to an extent. It's ridiculous when someone is breathing down your neck about everything you say. Sorry to say this, but I wasn't raised in no fantasy land. I feel like I'm being looked down upon for using street slang when it's part of the environment I lived in.

Okay... so I am trying to decide on my wedding date. I have finally decided that it will be in June...but I don't know if it should be 6/6/09... or 6/5/10... The reason I'm thinking in 2010 is because I am in my junior year of my b.s. degree and will graduate april 2009, so I don't know if I will have time to plan it. But I'm in school right now, and I've been doing some extensive planning and research. I already have my guest list pretty much made, I have found some locations that I need to visit, I have a budget planned out, I have found invitations I like, and flowers and favors picked out... I also have a menu picked out... Do you think going to school full-time and trying to plan a wedding (while working 20ish hours a week) will work? Otherwise, if it was in 2010, I would have that full year of planning. Other things to consider is that I will be moving to Chicago from Michigan after I graduate...so I can either plan a MI wedding from MI or from Chicago... ask for more info

I'm only 17, but in the last year I've gained about 30 pounds. That is such a great amount in such a short time that I know my weight gain is not just the result of "growing" into my adult body.

Last year I was 5'6" and 115lbs. THEN...I started working at burger king. I thought my metabolism was invincible, so I took advantage of all the free food. Burger king food wasn't the only junk I was eating, however. I began eating crap whenever I got bored. And now...30 pounds later...I weigh about 145. It's sp depressing because I can't fit into ANY of my clothes anymore. I'm no taller than I was last year, so I know it's not a height issue.

Is it possible to go back to my 115lb. self? I lost 15lbs. once; but I was on a juice fast and gained it all back once I had a full-sized meal. I want my super fast metabolism back! I promise I won't abuse it again! Please help!

In the movie Matrix, when a flying bullet is shown in slow motion, it emits some kind of rings behind it. Does a it really do that in real life, if the bullet is seen in slow motion, or is that just an “imaginary” effect for movies only? (And if it is real, then what makes it do that?)

Also this is a random question, but do you have any idea why this special effect (for the movie) is named as “bullet time?” I was just curious if anyone knew.

The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 1,000 rubles. Being frugal, they bought the cow from Minsk.

The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. Then they would never have to worry about the milk supply again.

They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.

The people were very upset and decided to ask their wise rabbi, what to do. They told the rabbi what was happening. "Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.

When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side."

The rabbi thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy this cow from Minsk?"

The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they had gotten the cow. "You are truly a wise rabbi," they said.

"How did you know we got the cow from Minsk?"

The rabbi answered sadly, "My wife is from Minsk."

First off, do not misinterpret my meaning before you read the entire narrative.

In light of the recent loss of the child in Portugal belonging to the English parents, made me think of children that were murdered by their parents. I am in no way implicating the parents in this case but brings me to this question.

I know that one can put a child up for adoption at the time of birth, but can one put a child up for adoption when the child is 4 years old? Certainly children can be removed by Children and Family Services for abuse, but what if a parent just doesn't want a child of 4 years old? Can they give the child over to an agency for adoption without being charged with abuse or any other thing that would make the parent subject to criminal charges?

I bring up this subject because we hear about a parent being found guilty of murder of their children. Could they just give up that child and avoid such a unspeakable crime? Is there a way out for a parent that just doesn't want a child?

There's a long straight line of bubbles going to the top of my tank. I don't have an airstone in there lol. It is heavily planted. I'm having trouble deciding whether it's co2, or oxygen? How can you tell? I'm having trouble telling if it's coming from the substrate itself, or if the gas is coming from the anarcharis?
Any info is greatly appreciated!

I remeber it from when i was alot younger. So it was probably made from mid 80's to early 90's. Its about a man who fights enemies with different themes. He fights some electricity guy who has lights all over the suit he is wearing and drives a dirtbike or go-cart. I think he fights a man that has a chainsaw, and i cant remeber the rest.

A basketball player, standing near the basket to grab a rebound, jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time does the player spend (a) in the top 15.0 cm of this jump and (b) in the bottom 15.0 cm? Does this help explain why such players seem to hang in the air at the tops of their jumps? Show and explain your work. Thanks and good luck! :)

I'm 18, 5'11", 142 pounds and I'm a runner. My resting heart rate is around 52-68 and my blood pressure is anywhere from 140/70 to 160/80. My doctor said not to worry since my diastolic(?) is normal. It's not a matter of diet, exercise, or weight. What's causing this? I had some tests done and I have a large left ventrical. Apparantly thats nothing to worry about either..
Also, I get tunnel vision when I stand up, almost to the point where I pass out..I thought that would be more of a low bp sort of problem. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Why was he allowed to testify without taking an oath? That is most unusual.

I remember that they let Gonzales testify that way, too, and what a liar he turned out to be.

HMMMMMM.... Listening on C-Span - did I just miss the swearing in or are we definitely being lied to?
