My D1 student-athlete background aside, I Love Casual Gaming. period.

One thing that confuses me endlessly is that why do people spend so many hours playing MMO's, FPS, RPG, knowing that spending all this time doesn't help us in real-life; and later only to be discarded.

I know few people who I used to team up and play with, and lost themselves in games like WoW (I'm sure some of you heard this a lot). They just spend all that time grinding endlessly for some *epic* cyber-gear. This is what happened to one of them = half of his raid t5 raid set, dropped out of HS, parents left him to pay back every cent of his 2+years WoW subscription, compy got taken away, miserable.

Of course, not many people end up like that; he was just hardcore at the wrong time. Some people function normally, but to the hardcores, WHY?

Does anybody else notice that everytime Serena Williams is losing a match she seems to get injured? She is the poorest sport in tennis and there is no room for her there. I wish we could turn back time and there be 2 Venus Williams instead of the poor loser Serena.

Addy was turning twenty today. There was nobody at her home, no presents on her table, not even a card for her in the mailbox- at least not yet - and for this reason she had been sitting in the same place for roughly an hour now, dreaming her future as she cuddled up with a book. It was a romance novel, her favorite actually, and although she’d read it at least five times it never seemed to grow old to her; regardless of the way the beloved always died at the end. And as usual, it amplified the melancholy feelings she always felt, which had already grown worse with the somber winter.

An odd question, but not a joke question.

I am an ordained Minister through the Universal Life Church in California. I currently reside in Kentucky. I got my ordination and have done nothing with it in the 7 years since i got it. I was wondering if anyone knew if i could sign/officiate my own marriage? Such as, my fiancee and I are planning a large wedding of our dreams for a few years down the road, but we do not want to wait to get married. Basically we are going to the courthouse and eloping, and then when we have the money, we are going to have a wedding/vow renewal. So yeah, just wondering if i can do that or if i have to get another priest to do so.

I am sick and tired of hearing how a student is in trouble for hugging other students. Or how about the coach that got fired for kneeling down during prayer with his team? It seems that everyone throws a fit about EVERYTHING if they don't like it. Why do people not believe in freedom anymore? Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to make our own choices. Cany anyone answer that for me?

I have had a very foul smell in my laundry room (also where my furnace is) that resembles sewer gas. I have had six plumbers leave scratching their heads. I have had all of my toilets professionally replaced, drains snaked, and a even had a smoke bomb test done today, so I know that there is no crack in a visible pipe or a blockage in any vent pipes. The next step is to have my basement floor ripped apart to proceed with a very expensive camera test. This is getting awful pricey. I was asked if I use "electrostatic furnace filters" today and I do. Could that be the cause? Anyone? I am at my wits end. It is no longer comfortable in my own home. I can't run the furnace and it is getting colder. I would be so grateful for any light that could be shed on this very frustrating and puzzling matter.

Somehow I think not.
Someone once said those who believe in nothing now, will believe everything later and how sad it must be to know that every breathe you take is a Sin according to God.
Your very being disgust me to the point of sickness, you must glee with happiness to live your life in abomination.

How Sad.

Wheelock's Latin translates "per" as "through" (from which we get words like permeable). But in English, the word is usually associated with a rate: 50 miles per hour, or 30 per cent ( per centum in Latin.) It seems the meaning would be " for every". You travel 50 miles for every hour elapsed, or you select 30 things for every 100 things. Was this a later meaning in Latin? Or does the english meaning have a different origin?

can you tell me and others what the first and second laws are of "thermodynamics"? And since energy can neither be created or destroyed but despersed or used in different ways, can you give me any examples where energy, instead of despersing, has regenerated naturally to a measurable viewable charge?

Clinton sold out to China.

"Clinton Launches All-out Effort For China's Entry Into WTO" http://english.people.com.cn/english/200001/11/eng20000111W137.html

Clinton took money from China. Clinton also gave U.S. military secrets to China. That action put the U.S. at risk for a nuclear missile attack from China. Two foreigners pled guilty but for some reason they didn't go to jail. Also, China secretly helped fund Bill Clinton's legal defense. Democrat politicians don't want the public to know the real facts about the Clintons and China.

This is a few of some of the U.S. government's documents. I am sure Democrat politicians don't want you to see them.

I will be starting school in the next semester to become a funeral director. I would like to try and get a job with the medical examiner as an assistant or as a diener in a hospital morgue. I am currently working in a cemetery office. There are no positions open in the funeral home at this point. I'm looking for more experience than what I'm doing now-which is office work.

Like goldfish that are in tanks are usually pretty small.

Whereas goldfish you sometimes see in
larger ponds are sometimes very big. I saw some recently in an outdoor pond that looked to be about a foot long or so.

Anybody know why this is? Thanks.

Cattle would supply the largest amount of meat per animal. 1 animal would suffer as opposed to say 50, if it were chickens.

Does that register with vegers or is it irrelevant?
