My mom has this idea that Halloween is the 'devil's holiday', and I haven't been allowed to celebrate it since I was 7 years old (I'm 17 now). I was reading up on the history of it at history.com, and it mentions the devil nowhere.

Where do people get this notion that its the 'devil's holiday'? Is it true? Or is it some silly myth?

My cat lives in the garage. All day she has been crying for attention. It's almost bedtime so I went into the garage to get the last of the laundry and decided to let her get on my lap.

She doesn't like to be held. She was sitting there purring and kneeding my pj's with her paws while I petted her. Suddenly she whipped around and bit me real hard. I was bleeding all over the place. My husband cleaned and wrapped up my finger for me. Now I can barely type. What's the danger from a cat bite?

I told my BF I don't care about his money because I love him and I would never take his money. He is an Asian and I wonder if he cares if my family has more money than his family. I am afraid to ask him because I don't want to let him think I care.

To begin with, I'm 17 and have had my license for half a year. I have ridden dirt bikes since I was 5, enduros since I was 13, and a 2002 Suzuki Intruder 800 for the entire 6 months, as well as a 2007 Ninja 650r for a week, amassing almost 400 miles on it. I was also the passenger on a gsx-r 750 for more than two years. Giving my experience, or lack thereof, I was wondering which motorcycle I should get; a Honda Cbr 600rr or a Kawasaki Zx-6r? The Ninja 650r felt rather slow, and within the week I outgrew it(thankfully it wasnt mine). Can anyone help me? I will use the bike mostly for day to day city driving, but my father and uncle both own Gsx-r's (a 2003 750 and a 2007 1000 respectively), and occasionally we go riding, if you know what I mean. Which bike would be better suited to my needs?

My wife and I know a girl that is 5 months pregnant and suffering seizures. She is taking the word of her OBGYN that it is merely diabetic seizures and that there is no harm. He doesn't have her tested and she takes his word for it. We are telling her that she needs to see a real neurologist (I have seizures) and not someone who has no experience in this field.
She's trying to tell us that her having seizures will not hurt that baby in the slightest. Somebody out there tell us every hazard possible that this baby will and can suffer as a direct result of her neglecting to see a neurologist.

I think that I might be smothering my boyfriend a little bit, he doesn't think so. He barely hangs out with his friends and rarely does stuff by hinself. He spends every waking minute with me and every time I ask him he says he likes to spend time with me. I'm just scared that I will smother him or push him away by trying not to smother him. Am I smothering him? Am I pushing him away? Or am I just over reacting and should take a chill pill?

I swear, If I was told that the ocean was rising and that part of my country was going to be consumed by the ocean, I would consider trying to build some sort of barrier to keep the ocean from consuming land. wouldnt building some sort of barrier to keep the ocean at bay be a wise choice? it may cost a lot but wouldnt it be worth it.
