Wouldn't have gotten married otherwise, or at least not at that time. Same problems exist that nearly drove them apart before (yelling, overreacting, rudeness when they don't get their way, taking the person for granted, unappreciative).

Is this a lost cause? Is it worth holding on to?

The Earth revolves in its daily motion an anti clockwise direction and orbits the sun in an anti clockwise direction
The Moon orbits the Earth in an anti clockwise direction
How fast would the Moon be moving if the Earth was not in motion in its daily revolution.

I tried setting most resolutions like 1024x768, 1280x1024 etc.. but fonts looks pixelated and not smooth. I found only 1440x900 resolution very good and optimal, but screen looks way too big. Can anybody recommend the best resolutions suitable for 19' LCD monitor?

I stay up at night watching the history channel...maybe I shouldn't, but the science revolving the "apocolypse" occuring in just 5 short years scares me...not because Im not prepared, but because of the possibility and not knowing for sure. Its almost like being diagnosed with terminal illness and knowing you will die before you are ready, and having to plan this last few years. What do you think?? What will you do??

For tracing TOF after corrective surgery, i accepted some tests. Though MRI and Tl-201 test, my doctor told me i have "single coronary artery". i often feel pain in my chest, taking almost one bottle of NTG per month (and rare Isorsobide) . Several weeks ago, i went to ER for my chest pain and heart palpitations, doctor gave me Oxygen for few hours then pain disappeared. Till now, the pain has been controled.
Is it dangerous?

The Russian Znamya 2 was a 20-meter wide (flat) mirror, launched in 1992. It was
designed to test the feasibility of illuminating parts of the Earth’s surface by reflecting
sunlight from orbiting mirrors. Znamya 2 was deployed (for a few hours only) near
the space station MIR, orbiting at an altitude of
∼ 390 km.
(a) Calculate what size spot on the Earths surface was illuminated by Znamya 2.
(b) Assuming the mirror was optimally positioned so that it was
∼ perpendicular to
light from the Sun, how much solar energy did it receive per second ?

Serious Question, so answer seriously.

Everybody talks about how great it feels when we orgasm and all, and I'm not saying I don't feel good after mastrubation or contact with my partner - I do get those pressure/tingle/blood rushing feelings - and feeling later on I cannot be touched anymore..

But i want to get that "release" relaxing feelings everyone talks about.

I feel i get it on the SMALL SCALE only that I need to be touched again later on, not too soon after,

but just an hour, a couple, or a few afterwards I need it all over again!!!

Doesn't make sense to me. It's like saying you don't want candy because you have a cold. Or like saying you don't want to watch a movie because you have a cold. What does one have to do with the other? I can understand that you might not have energy, but you can have sex without expending much energy. I could be half dead and I'd still have sex. I'm not being a jerk, I just don't understand it.

I'll list the top 5 in the BSC poll, but you can give your opinion on the best team in your eyes(within reason).
Ohio State
USF
Boston College
Oklahoma
LSU
Just something to think about:
LSU has 1 loss to Kentucky, but South Carolina beat Kentucky, but has 1 loss to LSU.
Oklahoma has 1 loss to an unranked Colorado
West Virginia has 1 loss to USF
Missouri has 1 loss to Oklahoma
Arizona, Kansas, and Hawaii, but ranked 8,13,18

My opinion: Just from the records as of now and who the teams have played. USF beat Auburn at Auburn and West Virginia. So in my eyes, they have had the best record of quality teams and an unbeaten record, so I think they deserve to be #1 as of now.
Your thoughts/opinions

I have a 07 Dodge Nitro and me and my husband (especially my husband) do not like dints and dings on our car. If it gets the slightest dent that maybe i can't even see, he hauls it to a body shop, pays the deductible and gets it fixed.

I work at a big company. About 900 or more employees. Now I get to work early and get a front row parking spot. I walked to my car a second ago and this car is parked extra close to my truck all because 3 cars down someone didn't park between the lines. They parked on a line!

so now i have to worry all day long if someone is going to hit my truck with their door. I honestly feel like moving my truck but i shouldn't have to.

BTW The same thing happens at my apt. complex. No one ever parks in between the lines!

I think I might make up some fake parking tickets and start slapping them on peoples cars!

Does anyone else hate this!?

My mom recently moved and asked me if I would watch her cat until she got everything in order and all moved in. Before she brought the cat over he had fleas. So she flea bathed him. Brought him over. It had been about a month and we finally took the cat to my moms. The same day, we noticed fleas. So we bombed our house with 3 (hot shot) flea bombs. Didn't work. By this time my son has been ate up by these fleas and has sores and scabs all over from itching. We bomb again this time using 6 bombs of the same brand as before. That day we didn't notice any, but next moring I gave my son a bath and there were a few in the bath water as well as jumping on me as I was getting him dressed. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM??? Quickly!!!
