My neighbor and I were talking about this yesterday. He is in the service and in good shape at almost 30. I am 47 myself and in good shape also. And has the conversation continued, we spoke about healthcare issues and people saying that they have a FAT GENE. And I think it is sad because the real reason for weight problems, and soon to follow high blood pressure, diebeties and heart disease! American people in general eat to much, and excercise too little! And now we have children coming up with very litttle excercise in schools now! When I was in school, we had gym everyday for 45 minutes. And now, kids are lucky to have PE once a week!
I guess the bottom line really is accountability from each person. If you are heavy and want to lose weight, excercise and eat less, and include better foods in your diet. Eat because you are hungry, not because you are bored or depressed! What are your thoughts on this epidemic problem that we in America have?

Someone once told me that you can tell a lot by a persons car inside, if it's messy, their house will be messy and so on. So what's the inside of your car like?

I know that most people do it right after dinner--HOWEVER--I find that many people leave (elderly) or completely miss the photo op since they're socializing. My Photographer suggested to do it pretty much right when we arrive at the reception so that it will be done (and you can relax & socialize after the bouquet/grater toss and no longer be pulled from your festivities) and the hall can work on cutting & plating it for right after dinner. Opinions??

I have been married for 10 years to a wonderful man. He has his flaws but over all he is a great man. 6 months ago I was contacted by my HS sweet heart. We were together for 7 years and I thought we were going to marry. Instead one day he was gone. Just like that. Needless to say I was devestated . I had more questions than answers. Although 20 years have come and gone and I went on with my life. I always had the ligering question "why". He is now a very wealthy man, in my eyes very cocky and quite arrogant. I can hear him when he talks about others and how he conducts his life. My dilema is I think of him alot. I wait for him to call. I feel like a headstrong teenager. I don't want to Jepurdice my marriage but I can't stop thinking of him. I obviously don't like him but the memories I have of him seem to be stronger than the reality that is before me. I need to know why. What can I do to help it.

If you are not familiar with the Video game, it has all these Elements:

1.) Zombies, Evil Spirits and Monsters - a' la 28 Days and Resident Evil.

2.) Arcehologist - Mix in Indiana Jones as the main Hero.

3.) Bad Nazis - Gotta have some Bad Guys in an action movies!

4.) Cult and Black Magic - A bit of Evil Dead story line.

5.) World War 2 setting - Some Saving Pvt. Ryan and Band of Brothers action sequences!

I know the transition between the Video Game World and the Movie World can be tough. Few Movies that were a hit was Tomb Raider and Resident Evil. And the ones that were a flop were the likes of Doom and Silent Hill. I just thought of this might be a hit since it has all the elements of a Blockbuster.

Does anyone else get annoyed that the default avatars look like metrosexual men? I only say metrosexual b/c he clearly looks like a man, but with a stylish haircut. lol. It even appears to be an Adam's apple. Yes, it could also be a woman with a short haircut...but if you are going to have it used uniformly, then it should look uniform! Like stick figures or somethng that doesn't identify with a particular sex.

Seems like a sight as huge as Y!A would have a default woman and a default man...or nothing pic at all. Just put a phrase there or something.

I am 38 and remember having quite a few insecurities when I was 15. I think I handled them pretty good, never talked back, never needed to express myself rudely. My parents were very disciplinarian (which today I realize was good) and still loved them. We were not rich, but I was involved in many activities in school. I loved to learn and just "cared" for the little things I had.
I observe "teenagers" now, with iPods, cellphones, good clothes and many are well mannered but the "rude" ones always stand out ! I went to College, graduated, made someone out of myself. Does "today's generation" even think about "College" ??

In our house and my husbands house while growing up Santa would bring the one big toy and then the stocking stuffers. We're doing the same for our children.

How do you explain that to your child who's really good and has the one gift from Santa and was happy with it until she hears that Bad Girl Suzy gets the Barbie Dreamhouse, TV and Holiday to Disneyland and now your child views her Barbie Computer which she was originally happy with but now views it as dinky from Santa?!!

Do you think that the belief of Santa would exsist longer if we all had some sort of unspoken rule?!

I'm thinking of getting a portable DVD-player. I've already done research on MySimon, and have obtained the following pricing (sans shipping): 7" = $70 (Dynex), 8" = $97 (Mintek), 9" = $140 (Mustek) and 10.2" = $150 (Mintek MDP1020).

So - my question is, for those WHO HAVE a portable DVD-player - what is a good viewing size? I don't want to get a 7" - and then wish I got a bigger screen size... Thanks for your thoughts! :-)

'where do you see yourself after 5 years from now' in a job interview

AS we all know life is so uncertain.how can they ask such a stupid question?

2007-11-30 04:41:03 · 18 answers · asked by __________ 1 in Religion & Spirituality

Alfa
Passionate and romantic, you fancy yourself. A bit unreliable, and can be eccentric too. You hate BMW drivers, but think and act just like them.

Audi
You would like to believe you are part of the new generation that is caring, environmentally conscious and family-orientated. Actually quite boring; nothing more than a glorified wuss. Will one day probably drive a Merc, but you still sometimes wonder if you shouldn't have bought that Bee-Em.

BMW
Self-centred, ambitious, dynamic and assertive. Can be a big show-off pig. Likes impressing too. Buppies and kugels past sell-by date. You think you will be CEO one day. Actually an office weenie who thinks you are God's gift.

Daewoo
Faceless, subservient and demure (except for Matiz drivers). To you, a good deal is to work from nine to five, get nothing for it, and still say thank you. And then you wonder why you don't have money for a time after hours.

Ford
You still live in the 70's, trying to cope with the 90's (don't even mention the millennium). A loyal, diligent worker, but baffled by office politics and labour policies. Next car will probably also be a Ford.

Holden
You are the ultimate on-road idiot. You think your 80s model Commodore is a V8 supercar, OR you think by owning a Barina you’re a true Holden fan. You’re either a redneck or a way-too-standard family parent – but either way, you most likely drive like you’re the only person on the road. You’re even ignorant enough to argue that the new Commodore is better than the new Ford.

Honda
You aspire to drive a BMW. You are an opinionated pain-in-the-butt. The ultimate suffragette, or the boss's girlfriend (male or female!).

Isuzu
You like the smell of diesel and have secret fantasy of being a truck driver.

Hyundai /Kia
Quite progressive, intelligent and practical. But misguided. The kind of person who will suggest a sub-committee to find solutions to what the committee couldn't. You will always maintain that a Korean car is better than any Japanese model.

Jeep
You would like to believe you are living the American dream and just love the great outdoors. The closest you get to it is by watching Days of Our Lives and the Adventure Channel.

Land Rover
You are a designer person with a designer life, who always pays too much for everything. Designer mud comes free with the badge. You're a closet colonial racist and have fantasies about the Queen. If you have a Freelander, it was probably a break-up gift from your ex.

Mazda
A Ford driver with less money. Mostly staid boring with no image and less imagination. Lots of retired people drive Mazdas. You're in the way and should get off the road.

Mercedes-Benz
Responsible, immaculate and conservative. Boring CEO clones with too much money, or the office super-geek who can't remember what it's like to have fun. Definitely not dating material.

Nissan
Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder. You like to travel and maintain that you can sell ice to the Eskimos. Favourite answer: "It's a company car."

Mitsubishi
Not as label-conscious as your Land Rover counterpart, but still suckered into believing in the ultimate Paris-to-Dakar, African adventure. You drive through puddles to create your own designer mud. You believe you've made the grade, but everyone else knows you've got a long way to go.

Peugeot
Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne.

Porsche
Small dick or mid-life crisis.

Renault
An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around. Usually the one who asks all the silly questions at staff meetings. You fervently believe you have flair, but it's less than that of a French cookbook. Most probably gay.

Ssangyong
A make-believe fool, because you'd like a Pajero but can't afford it. Don't actually know that the engines are made in India and not in Germany.

Toyota
Although there are thousands of them, you mostly can’t spot them in their zero-image cars. Toyotas are good, reliable cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have zero personality to go with their cars and are basically chicken-**** scared people who will never take chances and will therefore be driving Toyotas forever.
The most zero-image car in the world?, ... a white Corolla

Volkswagen
Highly overrated for dependability cars since the days of the Beetle, but they do have a good re-sale value. Usually practical, sensible people who like to drive fast where nobody can see them. They are usually loyal to their brand to the point of irritation due to the fact that they lost their virginity on a Beetle's back seat.

Volvo
As square and safe as the car
