I love writing poetry, but all my poems are free handed. Meaning I don't rhyme them or count out the syllables for lines.
I recently became a member of this poetry website. And a lot of the people there are always talking about the number of syllables in this line don't fit with the line under, or the rhyming scheme is wrong, or the stanza, or inversions, or inverted syntax, and etc. And I have NO clue what they're talking about! But I would sure love to know so I can become a better poet. So can someone please clue me in on this writer/poet talk and what it all means? Maybe give me a few pointers to writing better poetry?

I have a blank 702MB CD and a 161MB playlist in itunes. But when I try to burn the disc it says that there is not enough room on it and ask me if I want to burn it on to more than one disc. Does anybody know what's up?
Thanks.
NB It's not just that disc acting up either, i've tried 3 CDs all from diff brands.

People talk about rights in this country at great lenght. I have come to realize that I take exception to the notion that everyone's rights are sovereign. And I do realize that there are times when the rights of the one, are outweighed by the rights of the whole. However, The right to disagree has been trampled upon at great lenght without so much as a whimper. Now I, as a Black Man in this society, have some perspective with regard to alternate points of view. I actually respect the right of 'certain members of society' to feel that I am 'less than an individual'.
Which brings me to my point. What is it about society that has brought about the notion that a persons right to disagree is only valid insofar as it doesn't conflict with the 'politically correct' view of the population at large? And also, why is it that a particular point of view is seen as 'politically correct' when it clearly does not reflect the views of the popular majority?

Mutation that deletes or adds on DNA nucleotide..need answer ASAP!!!?
A mutation that deletes or adds one DNA nucleotide is much more serious than on that substitutes or replaces one nucleotide with another. Why is this?

I've always wondered this. Is it strictly people from the military that the government handpicks or do they approach common citizens that meet a certain criterion? I would love to become a spy and rat out some Al-Queda or whatever.

I used to work for a department store that offered gift wrap, I worked in the customer service area & have wrapped many gifts & have picked up some great bow skills. All my gifts look professional. So now I have somehow become the go to girl for gift wrap in my family. I have expressed to my family that I don't like them putting all the gifts on me to wrap. A lot of times I don't have enough space to wrap the gift, or I haven't been home and they have been home & could have wrapped the gift themselves. I even asked them to wrap the gift & I would put all the bows on them. Still no they want me to wrap everything! So I am asking how can I no longer be the designated gift wrapper since my family hasn't payed attention to my wishes.

My dog is VERY protective of me. I live in a shared house with one of my friends and 2 other males. One of the males has been very aggressive and threatened me more than once. He's also been violent.

Normally my dogs the most placid thing you'll ever come across but when this guy threatens me he's a totally different dog.

IF he ever bit this guy it would be in my defence and would be in our house, so not on public land. I can also prove he's been threatening and I have police reports against him.

Where would I stand?

Common that is all we heard from liberals and democrats that Kerry was better than Bush because he served in Vietnam and same for Al Gore.

Well McCain is running and there are no vets on the DNC side so you guys all must be behind him right?

Or have the rules now change yet again?

My almost 4 month old has been taking a big sleeping period of 5 hours at first, then goes to 4 hours for the rest of the night for over a month now (she eats every 3 hours or so during the day). She had a viral cold a few weeks ago, and every since then (she is over it now) she has been waking up every 3 hours at night again. Last night I tried to just give her a pacifier thinking that maybe she wasn't really hungry, but she was because I couldn't calm her any other way. Does this mean she is ready for cereal? (She has her 4month appoint. next week so I'll ask him then, but I wanted the opinion of some moms.)

I got remarried last year. He's 11 years younger than I am, making him 28. I strongly suspect my 19 year old daughter is sleeping with him. There are many many clues that I wont go into detail, and I've tried to confront them but no luck so far. We haven't had sex in over a month and I have a feeling this is why.
Can someone please give me some more info.

I have a six year old who is becoming extremely adept at passive resistance. I pretty much have to physically move her through the entire process of getting ready for school, moving her from the bed, dressing her, brushing her hair, dragging her downstairs, finding breakfast, putting on her coat, guiding her to the car and buckling her in. I obviously can't just let her stay in bed until she's late, or not have her go to school at all. How do other people deal with that?
