I have a friend who says he is bisexual. However, after discussing it with him, it seems its not really a question of either/or. Its seems he really wants both at the same time in a 3some. Is this actually bisexuality or is there a different term for this. I'm well aware that labels do nor define a person, yada- yada-yada. I'm just wondering if this something that deserves its own word.

9 out of 10 giraffe pairings occur between males.
75% of sexual activity between female Bonobos is homosexual.
Of 3168 sexual encounters, 37% were same sex acts between Seahorses.
A quarter of black swan families are parented by homosexual pairings.
1 in 5 Mallard pairs consist of male-male homosexuals.

Yet studies of human homosexuality claim the number's near 10 percent. Doesn't that seem a little low, in comparison to animals? (Aside for social and religious pressures, the actual number of gay people, including those in the closet.)

...person that is now gay. I just wana know if it's true, because there is this guy I like, but he's EXTREMELY homophobic. And I know people always talk about homophobes as insecure gay guys, but I've never known one.

I am only able to get on here for 1 to 2 hrs in the evening, Which is great! Only trouble is, there are about 50 Q's from the night before ( which just goes to show how popular SC's is) and I don't have time to read them all and only answer 1 or 2. No wonder I don't have many points.
Question is, should I start at the most recent and work back, or start where I left off and play catch up all the time?

I am asking this question out of curiosity since I have problems saying that I am Indian, which I am not, since I'm not from India. I feel comfortable saying I am Native American; however, there seems to be alot of people out there thinking otherwise.

i don't know what to think about the top contributors to yahoo answers, i mean is that really something to take pride in? on one hand you have lots of great answers that help people, i'm assuming they must have intelligence but on the other are they unemployed? how do you find time to answer so many question? are they shut ins? is their life just the internet? i'm really curious to who these people are in real life. i can honestly say i will never be a top contributor.

One year on Christmas Eve, my husband and I delivered a Christmas meal to a needy family. We were so excited about giving them a turkey, dressing, all the trimmings for a nice dinner. When we got there, the recepient seemed disappointed. She said "But I told them I need a refrigerator."
It took a lot of the joy out of it. I'll admit I get a high from doing that type of thing but not that time. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Ornaments, scratch up the meal, presents if any at all, and muster up cheer and joy for everyones sake?
My children and I had several like this when they were young. We had love and each other and it was okay by us.
We made phonebook trees and spray painted them gold. Paper garlands, popcorn and cranberry garlands, cotton ball snowmen, a borrowed silver tree that was old even then (it even came with the colored light wheel), and Christmas eve enough of a pay day for a chicken. Luckily we had plenty of corn syrup and tons of pecans to shell for pies.
My older kids bought the youngest dollar store baby buggy. I think one child got a pair of sweat pants and the other a sweat shirt.
I was pregnant and working one of these times with a cord running to my neighbors for electricity. But it was all good.

Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, "Dad, why are you doing that?" His father replied, "Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Johnny, looking worried, said, "Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy mom

It seems to me that our culture makes nudity shameful and nasty and disgusting way too much. If you associate being nude with sex then this is a problem, but the two do not automatically go together. The body is beautiful and natural, it is only peoples minds that make things shameful or disgusting.

Yesterday was memorable, the cat for some reason came down with diarhea and there is a mess all over the house, cleaning it off the hardwood floors is the easy part, the area rugs and furniture is going to be a challenge. :-(

He also messed all over himself so wrestling him to the floor and cleaning him was not pleasant. It makes me gag. It isnt even my cat, really, its my exe roommates so it really ticks me off. We have a real love/hate relationship because he is so badly behaved. Not that he did this on purpose but --

THEN to put the frosting on the cake my tooth broke off. I know you Americans pay as much for dental work as we do. This is just a nightmare.

Its very demoralizing, its bad enough being on social assistance but to have to start to look the part of what most people have a stereotypical image of: "people on welfare" is really hard to accept.

Recently, in my state, a 20 year old male beat his girlfriends 4 MONTH old baby in the head so badly that the baby's skull was mush. They also found older fractures that were starting to heal. His excuse was that the baby wouldn't stop crying. The infant may survive, but with severe disabilities. Though I know we aren't suppose to play God, I can't see wasting tax payer dollars to keep this (man) piece of garbage alive.

I got it for three dollars at the salvation army, it is in excellent condition, no rust, but a little sticky, I want to clean it up, but the ladies there, said no soap, no water. They said to just grease it. Will some stranger has used it and I first want to sterilize it before I cook in it. Someone said I could burn it, I guess heat it up until red hot and then put oil in it. Also I have a smooth top stove, afraid if I heat it to red hot, it will cause my stove top to break. I know some of you seniors have used iron sklllets to cook in. What do I do?
