Education & Reference - 2 July 2007

I was attending a seminar the other day on cockroachs, the speaker used the word egmotatic or agmotatic (spelling?). He said it was used to refer to cockroachs, it meant they like to be touched on four sides. I could't find it in the dictionary when I got home. I am unsure of the spelling

I'm training to be an exotic dancer. I'm really skinny, double-jointed, and agile. Do men mostly go to strip clubs to see big-breasted women, or skinny, humble-chested, energetic, medium-tall heighted females? Also, what advice do you want to give me, as I"ve never been to a strip club before? I'm going in for an interview this weekend. Need help. Thx!!

I work with preschoolers, there are two children who I believe have ADHD.
In the group of preschoolers are 3, 4, and 5 year olds. Both of these children are in pull-ups. Both children are the older ones in the group. They often have toileting accidents. How can I handle this situation more effectively.?
Sometimes I can not understand what the two children are saying.

The parents bring toddler food in for the one child.
We have lunch served and he is given a choice to what he wants to eat.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just finished a year of university, and within that year I managed to pass all my courses but one.

I feel ashamed and depressed ever since I saw that F. I'm not going to stop trying, but rather continue to year 2 retaking that course and trying my absolute best to get it.

But now that it's summer, I don't really want to constantly dwell on the fact that I did so poorly. But my parents consistently remind me of how I failed that course, and every time my heart drops and I feel like I shouldn't even bother continuing on because I feel like a failure.

I usually end up feeling miserable and angry at myself and at whoever bothered to remind me that I suck.

Should I always be feeling bad? because I'm at a point where I hate my parents (especially my father) for reminding me how stupid I am and how I failed.

I get enough of that hatred from myself. I don't need my dad to tell me he doesn't care about my feelings and that he likes to make me feel bad reminding me of my failure.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs inthe air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Can you give examples?

My husband thinks it means riding in a car while wearing dirty underpants. I say it means driving with drugs or possibly driving drunk. Who's right? There's a foot massage riding on it.

I'm wondering if i got what it takes to be a doctor, only as far as intellectual skills to go through med school go. I'm not talking about motivation or other human skills. Is there a test i can take online that checks the areas of intelligence required to be a doctor (e.g memory, language)? Something similiar to MCATs, but that don't require any studying?

I applied to a University of California school for the fall semester and I got in. Problem is: the school requires that all prospective students earn grades of "C"s or better. I got a "D" in a history class, which to this day, is heavily disputed.

The teacher initially gave me an "F" but changed it to a "D" so I could graduate on stage, but even this "charity" grade is far below me. I turned in everything and did everything I was supposed to do. I even counted the work I got back and discovered that I had a "B" average. He gave me the bad grade BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE ME! I've appealed this grade a few times already and I've had meetings with teachers, but according to my principal, "by law," she "cannot force a teacher to change" my grade.

I just called the UC school. They told me that my imminent rejection is highly likely and that there's nothing I can do about it. Deadlines to submit final High School transcripts are on July 15.

WTF CAN I DO?!!
