superpowerish thing that a human can possibly do? And how can I put my weird and pointless abilities to good use. Like I can jump 4 high. Uh...oh! And I can like "detect" in a way like radiation froma certain distance with like a weird buzzing in my head. And I'm all like do you hear something? And everyone's like no. And I can sense or sometimes even feel another person's emotions even when they're hiding it. But I can't control any of my abilities they just go on by themselves. I'm trying to teach myself to jump 5 feet. But then it'd look stupid if I fall that high.

Your love, dear man, is as lovely to me
As sweet soothing oil to the limbs of the restless,

As clean ritual robes to the flesh of Gods,
As fragrance of incense to one coming home
Hot from the smells of the street
It is like nipple-berries ripe in the hand,
Like the tang of grainmeal mingled with beer,
Like wine to the palate when taken with white bread.

While unhurried days come and go,
Let us turn to each other in quiet affection,
Walk in peace to the edge of old age.
And I shall be with you each unhurried day,
A woman given her wish: to see
For a lifetime the face of her lord.

What kinds of inferences do you make about the speaker based on the things to which she compares. Also, How does the concrete language contribute to the speaker's definition of her love?

I've had big pupils practicly all my life.
Somtimes they'd get small then they'd get big.
Is this a bad thing or somthing?
Cause Today my friend Abraham told me i had pretty eyes,because my pupils were big .
[my eyes are Blue/gray]
But last year we had this testing thing.To check if your spine was straight and the lady noticed i had big pupils and she asked me
"Do you do drugs"
Stupid ***** pissed me off.
So what does it mean when your pupils get really big.Randomly.?

I read somewhere it was a sign of great youth.And that some people in asia,and other countrys,they try to make their pupils big.why?

that would mean that He is there in the flesh literally according to the Catholic Church. BUT the Word says in Mark 13:21 that if Anyone says to you "LOOK! Here is Christ! or Look, there He is! Do not believe. Matthew 24:13, If anyone says to you BEHOLD, Here is the Christ or there He is, do not believe them.

For any Catholics who want to deny that the Catholic Church teaches that Christ is literally in the wafer and in the wine, you need to pay attention, because they do teach His literal presence.

He will not come in the flesh literally until He steps foot on the Mount of Olives and in the Temple in Jerusalem when they annoint His feet with the only annointing oil that exists of that kind which is not in the hands of the Catholic priests but of the Jewish priests.

As usual, things were not going well at the United Nations.

Thus, many visiting ambassadors had to room together. It just so happened that Vladimir, the Russian Ambassador, and Umballa, the Zambian Ambassador, were sharing a suite.

To pass the time, Vladimir introduced his fellow dignitary to the Russian game of roulette. He produced an antique Soviet revolver, and a single bullet. It took a while, but he was finally able to explain the gist of the game to Umballa. Intrigued and excited, Umballa loved the game.

By the time the U.N. meeting was over, the two had become fast friends. As they parted company at the airport, Umballa told Vladimir, ''One day, you must visit my country, and try our version of your roulette.''


A year later, Vladimir was in Zambia, and looked up his old friend. Umballa remembered him, and welcomed him with open arms.

''I have come, my comrade, to try your game.''


''Very well. Come with me.'' Umballa took his friend before six, buck-naked bush women. ''Pick one. Any one. And she will give you a bl0wj0b.''

"But my friend, where is the danger in this?''


Umballa replied with a toothy smile, ''One of them is a cannibal.''

I feel overburdened with stress I feel to anxious most mornings to get up and deal with the world, I can’t sleep at night because I feel guilty for not going to school, and I feel stressed because I don’t know how I can survive in the world without an education, but getting one seems pointless to me, In fact this life seems pointless to me, I want so bad to believe that there is something more but I can’t seem to find it. Every job that is out there has no appeal to me because I don’t feel like I’m helping anything this is problematic because without having the motivation to work towards something I can’t go to school it’s a never ending circle that I don’t know how to come out of I feel upset all the time, and the only thing that has ever kept me going is love, but I feel so unloved lately that I can’t deal with it, I feel like I have nobody to talk to about my true nature, I’m alone in a city and I know people but I don’t want to open up to them because I don’t want to burden them.

A news report today says that one in twelve people living in Phoenix, Arizona is an illegal alien. Utterly amazing. Although I have nothing against our major immigrant population, one is compelled to wonder at the social ramifications of such a large group of people from this background. What have its effects on the economy been? On other aspects of life? What are you thinking?

A retired gentleman went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asked him for his driver's license to verify his age.

He looked in his pockets and realized he had left his wallet at home.

He told the woman that he was very sorry but he seemed to have left his wallet at home. "I will have to go home and come back later."

The woman says, "Unbutton your shirt."

So he opens his shirt revealing lots of curly silver hair.

She says, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me," and she processed his Social Security application.

When he gets home, the man excitedly tells his wife about his experience at the social security office.

She says, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.
