So, I am a 5'9" female. I've always been tall and thin and about a year ago I lost about 20 lbs and was down to 113 for my height. I was always told "wow you are so thin!" "do you eat?" "you are a twig" etc. Well I had problems with my period cycle and was told to gain weight, and also had my parents and family and friends on my back about gaining weight. SO, I gained some weight back and now weigh between 125-130. I feel bigger now, and people will still comment on how thin I am, but every once in a while a guy co-worker will joke around for example the other day I said I needed to get something and a guy I work with said "get your fat butt up there!" Well that HURT! Really bad! I got upset and he goes "YOU KNOW you aren't fat, very far from it!" but people do not understand how one comment can hurt someone's self-esteem that much more. SO, my question is, why do people feel the need to comment on others weight to them?

As an avid hunter, I am astonished by the amount of people who think that I am a sick and twisted person because I like to kill "bambi." Many of these people think hunting is wrong due to flat out ignorance. They do not understand that hunters are in fact the most active conservationists in the world. In the early 1900's, the wild turkey was only found in 3 states. Now, due to hunters and hunter groups like the NWTF, they are now found in all 50 states. The Turkey population is millions greater than it was even before Columbus had even set sail. It aggravates me to be treated like an outcast because the mojority of society has abandoned there ways of the past and now leads a blind life thinking that the burger theyre eating was just grown out of the ground that way.

Hypothetically of course ... so no need for anyone to get on their high horses! I've sort of come to the conclusion that he/she is one or the other. It's basically two ancient ways of communicating that have some sort of structure to it.
Or according to 5-element theory (Yin/Yang) it would be the two with a bith of both in each.
The spoken word can nowhere reach near the emotional experience that the musically accompanied spoken word reaches. (i know very little on harmonics, ancient chinese medical texts states that for organs are tuned to the tones of the pentatonic scale.) Neither can it (spoken word) explain the complexities of mathemathics without going into some almost archaic world where rules are almost like the rules that govern the physical world itself.
So ...?
Musician ...
Mathematician ...
or a bith of both with a bit of both in each?
Answers on a postcard if you please :-)

Isn’t that true that Rai knows that some stage in her acting career she would need to kiss on scene, so she made a choice to kiss an Indian actor 1st before kissing a foreigner? What do you think?

She exposes more skin as she gets older (Dhoom 2), don’t you think she sometimes acts like a C- grade actress?

I am reposting this question because I got to many responses from people that are pro-life. I only had 2 people that were pro-choice, but thats not enough to make a decision on. I don't care about their opinion. Before you answer my question please state in your answer whether you are pro-choice or pro-life. If you are pro-life please don't bother answering my question because I really don't care what you have to say. If you already answered my question then their is really no need to answer again. I will tell you a little about myself. I am 27 year old. I am getting older, but I still like to party and love my weed. As you will see I have no time for a child in my life. After all it is my body and not even my boyfriend can tell me what I can or cannot do with my own body. I will post the question under details, so please don't answer my question until I have the details setup. thanks!

do you ever go? I sometimes go to one in a neighboring town, it has private rooms, with big pools you walk down into, and a big pool outside at about 95 * I love diving into hot water, it feels weird but good.

Maybe someone you've talked to on the phone or heard on the radio that you've never met before or even saw a picture of? And, do you find that when you do finally meet that person or see a picture of them, you're more often than not somewhat surprised that they don't look at all the way you imagined?

for example, do you think less of a person or their answer in yahoo answers when they misspell something (and don't even use the spell check?)
