I recently answered a question - on a subject I know quite a lot about - by telling the poster that no-one could sensibly answer her question without more facts. She responed by sending me a nasty email - to which I couldn't reply since she's blocked emails. Why are so many people online such cowards that they feel free to make ad hominem attacks on people who're trying to help, and then hide behind Yahoos mail blocks ?

I am having back pains and mild cramps in my lower belly. I've been trying to time them but am somewhat unsure how to because the pain never really ends. It gets relatively sharp every 3 to 4 minutes and then dies back down but never really quits. Can someone help me with this please.

I'm 39w1d so I'm somewhat freaking out and think it may be labor..

I have a strange feeling on the top of my left foot, where it joins my leg. It does not hurt at all but i am just aware of it, almost as if someone is laying their hand on the area. A slight pressure. This has been about four days and it is getting more intense. Today there is a faint tingle, like the beginning stages of a body part falling asleep. I am in no discomfort, only conscious of the feeling. I am a male, twenty-five and pretty fit maybe a little on the skinny side. Thanks

I don't know if anyone's heard of this site before, I saw a card like this today though and I'm desperate trying to find it.

It was a Christmas Card someone made online, and on it she got to choose faces and make them look like the members of her family by choosing their facial features etc.

It was really cute, but I can't remember the website! If anyone knows of it please let me know!

Thanks :)

OK, so I got a betta male on Thursday. This morning, he made a bubble nest and I started thinking that maybe I should try breeding once. But my head is spinning and I dunno where to start:
My betta male is pretty small and not very colorful, so he's probably pretty young (right?). And he made his nest pretty quickly, which means he's probably being fed well and in good water condition (right?). Also, he's in a bowl, not a tank, and I also need a tank size.
On the 26th (because stores are closed tomorrow) I'm most likely going to buy a female for him. I'll put them in the same bowl (is that safe? Or should I buy a tank and put them together and put some toys in for her to hide?). After they've chased each other, gotten her eggs fertilized, etc. I'll take her out and put her in a separate bowl. Here's where it gets tough: I don't want THAT many betta babies. I'm going to have to take some of the eggs out. How many is safe if I don't have too many people to give them too? More in a sec.

First of all, let me start off by saying this, I AM A CHRISTIAN 100%. I love my Savior with all of my heart and soul! God has given me the gift of evangelism, however I do not push on anyone that is not a Christian that they "WILL GO TO HELL" if they aren't saved. I show everyone the compassion, comfort, and care that Jesus Christ did. After reading several post on here, Atheist/Agnostic/ any other religous, or not religious people, does it bother you that some Christians shove "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL" down your throat?

obviously i need to find out for myself.
but how do we know the bible isnt one big book?
i really need the proof.
and yes. i know if i pray for it...
but i cant pray to something that i dont know even exists.
its complicated.
