I'm in a biracial relationship...My husband is Latino and I'm white. The other day, we went out to dinner and there was a girl sitting a few tables away from us. She was in my line of vision and I noticed that she kept staring at us and giving us weird looks. She was there with a guy (who had his back to us) and even though they were talking, she would continue to look over at us constantly. While what she was doing wasn't anything blatantly rude, it kind of annoyed me. I've been in similar situations before. I know there are biracial couples out there who have faced a lot worse than what I described. I'm just curious about what other biracial couples' experiences have been. Has it been your experience that people tend to ignore the fact that the two of you are of two different races/ethnicities, or have other people made an issue out of it? Serious answers only please.

Car used no oil (had 37,000 on engine), but noticed that suddenly at the 2 year mark, it needed 1/3 of a quart.

Was the engine harmed (no leaks, so what happened to the oil?)??

Car is a 2002 grand Prix.

My friend married a non-US citizen almost 2 yrs ago. His wife is applying for permanent residence or citizenship (not sure which one). Anyway, he requested me to write a letter to support that their marriage is not a sham. I know that their marriage is for real. But I'm not sure what kind of details should I write about?

Is he serious ?

I mean, come on. If the US invaded Pakistan without Pakistan's "permission", don't you think an even larger war would follow. Considering the fact that right now, the US is fighting terrorist cells and not doing that well, what makes him think he could take on a million-strong Pakistani army?

Aside from that, the international response would be atrocious. How would the UK view the States if they invaded a Commonwealth country?- Queen Elizabeth is the "Queen of Pakistan" after all. Oh and you'd piss of Canada, but thats not very important...

Who here SERIOUSLY thinks that Obama is willing to invade yet another soverign nation, fight an even bloodier war and deal with the consequences?

I attended a funeral for my boyfriends nephew, although I arrived alone and stood at the back, so I didn't see any of the family. It was an Indian funeral, and as I've never been to one before I didn'y know what to expect. After standing in a line to do something, I was told to walk to the other side of the room, I assumed it was to stand in another line. I didn't realise until I passed my boyfriend that it was to acknowledge the family, and I had walked past them all. Is it worth an apology when I see the family, or better not to bring it up?

In designing rotating space stations to provide for artificial-gravity environments, one of the constraints that must be considered is motion sickness. Studies have shown that the negative effects of motion sickness begin to appear when the rotational motion is faster than approximately 2.25 revolutions per minute. On the other hand, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the astronauts' feet should equal the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on earth. Thus, to eliminate the difficulties with motion sickness, designers must choose the distance between the astronaut's feet and the axis about which the space station rotates to be greater than a certain minimum value. What is this minimum value?
I'm not even sure how to get started on this! Please help!

my 6 year old son is actually a very soft hearted, sweet, caring little guy but he's usually so hyper. If he doesnt get his way (like going outside to play or what have you) he throws a fit. Sometimes his fits are to the point that he will slam doors-his mouth gets out of hand also. He doesnt cuss but he will definately talk back. He is constantly climbing on the furniture and doesnt really give me all of his attention very often. HIs mind seems like its running a million miles a minute. I am a young mother. I had him at age 17. I dont know if its my easy going parenting or if my son may have adha as my little brother had it and I didnt know what I should do. I dont want to see my son on medication and drugged up like my brother, but I want to do the best for him. Do I just need to be more disciplining and strict? He listens to his dad well. But not me-its like he doesnt take me too seriously

I'm 24 and I've been with my boyfriend for about a year now. I thought I was pregnant like 4 times but out of those four I only tested positive once...but I guess I had a misscarriage. Is it possible that I could probably have trouble getting pregnant if I really wanted to in the future.....although I have tried the old fashioned way to not get pregnant by counting 14 days after my first day of period and then 5 days of ovulation
