I've read multiple articles giving the impression that one could find out what one's ethnic makeup is via a genetic/DNA test. For instance, one could find out if one if he is a mix of Eastern European and Native American ancestry. My mom may have some ethnic mixture on her side. However, much to my dismay, I spoke to one of the larger DNA testing firms and they said that's not the case??? They can only verify the "single origin" of the direct line (mother's mother's mother's...) w/ no influence from any spouses - so that doesn't help me! Anyone w/ expertise on this have any comments/suggestions to help us find out what the mixture might be? (we don't need to know %, which I've been told is not possible anyway - we just want to know whehter there is a mix and what that might be - Spanish, European, etc.?)

At times life goes fast, but sometimes it goes so slow....why do we feel that or think that? People are always saying "Oh! you're growing up so fast!," but you feel like you've lived forever. When you have nothing to do and you suddenly start doing something you can pass 1 hour just like that and it feels like 1 minute. Why is that? It seems like we can't keep track of our own time but time just keeps getting faster and faster. Maybe you can help me understand how time slows down or gets faster.

I'm in high school and all my parents do is yell at me and my brother. We are really good kids (don't do drugs, we play sports, have good friends, do well in school, etc) but all they do is find our faults and exploit them. Lately, they've been fed up with us not doing as many chores as they think we should do (nevermind that we don't get allowance) and so if they see we don't do the dishes or something automatically they start screaming. And it's not that we don't see where they are coming from, it's that they don't bother to talk to us about it. Also, I've found that I can no longer speak to my mom because she takes every word that I say as sass. I don't try to sass her because I know i'll be punished but she just thinks I have a horrible attitude. I really don't know what to do anymore and I really want to find my parents help with their anger issues because my brother and I can't take it anymore. We're afraid that if this continues that family will fall apart.

I am writing a book and I am wondering if people like swearing in books. Do you like swearing in books? How would swearing affect the reader?

he said it in his speech containing this quote, "A house divided against itself cannot stand". I am just wondering what he is referring to when he says house. Does he mean the government or the country? I want definite answers, not just guesses. try to list the source if you can so i can verify your answer

Socrates said that "true knowledge is knowing that you know nothing"


Does that make Yahoo the most knowledgeable entity to ever exist?

also considering what types of people fought in the crusades and how ill-prepared they were the first time and also since their finances were pretty much covered, why need the nobles?

They can be living or dead.
My pick would be Benjamin Franklin for a couple of reasons.
A) He discovered electricity! [I mean, c'mon. Ya gotta love a man who discovered a thing that changed the world!]
B) He had a sense of humor. [A good one, at that!]
And finally,
C) He was loyal to America. [God bless us all!]

see i play piano by ear and i find it interesting, i mean, its not something i would totally admire but thats me. I find alot of people either totally discriminate about it by saying "you too cheap to take lessons or something? you cant be a pianist until you take lessons" and some say "omg its amazing! how do you do that?". Its just so annoying considering the fact people assume me to be terrible cause i cant read music. in 8th grade i did 2 songs on the piano for chior for a little group project and the concert was in 2 days!, i learned "im already there " from that country band and "if i saw you in heaven" by eric clapton. the day after the concert people were like "wow you were good" and asked how i learned those songs and i told them i did it by ear and they were like "ya well it actually sucked" i shouldnt go by what people think but its such a downer and i feel cheap since everyone percieves me as "cheap"
