I am asking it cause I find it a double standard. I agree nooses and burning crosses are a symbol of hatred (and as such blacks dont go around burning crosses). But how can you say the N word is a hate symbol and then use it all the time among them??

Hi there,
I am hoping someone who knows a little bit about yarn can help me out.
I have a project that I have been working on forever with dry clean only fancy schmancy yarn. Last night I spilled red kool-aid on in while I was asleep. (I am a restless sleeper, and always thirsty) I totally forgot to move the yarn to a safe place before I went to bed.

Where I am not done knitting some of the yarn (read: most of it) is there any way to have it dry cleaned BEFORE I knit it, to get the kool-aid out?

If not, I am open to all suggestions about how to get the stain out!!! It was kind of expensive yarn, and I really really want to make sure it doesnt stain!

Thanks in advance!

I'm just trying to find out why you cheated? I walked the thin line of perfection with my guy, very virtuous woman, homemaker, bring home the bacon, clean, organized, chef, backrubs, footrubs, spicy sex intitated by me, gave space, took space.....His friends loved me, his family loved me, he "loved me" and we got engaged. We moved into together and then he cheated. So why did he cheat? What was it that caused you to cheat on someone that was the "right" one? Why would you risk the relationship for a 15 minute session?

I am an 18 male Australian, I got $4000 but not sure if I should go over to Europe at end of year to work and travel or work in Australia a bit more first, then go over next year when I am 19.

What to do you think?

I have no idea what jobs I would do and what jobs I should go for :(

I feel a bit down because I am wasting time now and I feel lost as I don't know what to do.

Since discovering this forum, I've seen way more "Bible-bashers" (Q's & A's representing intolerance, condemnation, and open hostility toward Christians), than I've seen the stereo-typical "Bible-thumpers" they are railing against. On the whole, Q & A's posed by Christians seem thoughtful, polite, and respectful of others' beliefs.
I also don't see anyone railing against other world faiths much. (such as Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and others.)
So what are atheists and other Bible-bashers so angry about? Could it be that they are having doubts about their own doubts, and looking for others here/elsewhere to help convince them that they are right and justify their anger and fear?
Let's say they're right & I'm wrong. I still get to rest in peace when I die, with probably have less regrets at my end for how I lived, or according to some, I might even get a "do-over." But if Christians are right? Even if I had no other reason to believe-why take a chance with eternity?

I have just logged on and saw that the BBC are being forced to apologise for Jeremy Clarkson and James May smoking Pipes on Top Gear - none of the audience complained, just someone with nothing better to do!

Do they moan when Dot Cotton lights up in Albert Square, after all that is a studio!

Did anyone see Sunday's Top Gear - class, especially when Clarkson burnt his mouth on the pipe!

I am a smoker, and I do agree with the smoking ban, but has'nt it gone a little bit politically correct! What do you think?

notice how Iran is on one side, and Syria on the other side of the southern border of Turkey, where it meets Iraq.
Now notice, how easily accessible UAE is for naval supply ships, or even Israel or Egypt to Iraq.
If you were a Gneral wanting to win a war, and considered Iran and Syria enemies, would you squeeze your supplies between them, making the supply route easily accessible to enemy combatants??

California codes particularly. My maid drove it into the pool about a week ago, and I figure it's pretty well shot by now. So instead of dragging out what is probably a worthless hunk of steel, I though I would stock the pool with some nice fish. I think the car would make for a welcome environment for them.
But I don't want the city coming after me for some violation.

I have been anticipating buying a particular house. My house is on the market for 3 months with no bites. Realtor from sellers agency on house I want is not communicating well with my broker. I Asked to be told if and when there are any bids on that house. Was told by my broker there isn't any interest from anyone on that house. . Last night my broker called and told me that the house is in contract. We weren't even informed that there was a bid. Had we known we might've put one in. Is there any recourse? ( I know we don't have a buyer for my home yet but there was interest in it and the potential buyer is most likely going to put out an offer). Didn't I have the right to be informed of the bid so that I could've countered? I am so disappointed!! I could only hope that the contract doesn't go thru. By the way how long does it take to find out if the financing doesn't go thru? Who is more at fault, my agent or the the seller's?What would you do?

Does it exist? Savants tend to have exceptional memory, yet they are usually socially ignorant. However, can you make yourself "smarter" by simply improving your memory? It seems like a simple question, I know. just curious.
