Is it true that watering the grass on a warm or hot day will hurt the grass?

its about 89 degrees and I want to water my grass but have heard that it is not good to water the grass when it is hot. I have st. augustine grass if that matters.Is it true that watering the grass on a warm or hot day will hurt the grass?
I see we have a new batch of garden/landscape people that need to learn better watering practices...(never water at night, early morning only)





';Carl'; and ';Martha'; have the only legitimate answer so far. Evaporation is the only thing that will happen in this case... Good Job!

Yes
Don't water when it's hot because the water heats up quickly and its not good for the plants





Water early morning or night when its cooler outside
You should water it in the morning or evening when the sun is not at its peak. I've heard that it stresses the plants and grass??
yes...water left on the leafs of grass will act like a magnifing glass and burn the grass. So water before sun up or after sun down.
That sounds silly to me. It could waste water with the evaporation.
Do it after the sun goes down. Watering at that temp in the peak of the day..the water evaporates. Also..the water beads act like little magnifying glasses and can cause damage to the blades of grass.
It wastes water, because the water evaporates more quickly before sinking in the ground to hydrate the grass.

Is it true that I can claim back fuel surcharges from British Airways? If so how do I claim the monies back?

I have been travelling with British Airways on long haul flights for approximately four years.


I have kept my boarding passes.


I still have flight numbers from previous flights.


Is there a website for customers to claim?Is it true that I can claim back fuel surcharges from British Airways? If so how do I claim the monies back?
BA and Virgin Atlantic were found guilty of conspiring to fix fuel surcharges and are required to give refunds to passengers who flew between August, 20004 and March, 2006, this website explains how to get your refund or try contacting BA, good luck:

i have never heard of this before
Never heard of it either and I work for one of BA's biggest competitors...


Sounds kind of strange to me, are you sure it is not an urban legend or something like that?


The airline I work for had to implement a fuel surcharge last year and they had to contact every single customer, who had purchased a transatlantic ticket to ask them for the additional money...

Is it true if I get a job at Giant Eagle I'll have to start off as a bag boy?

I applied for a job at Giant Eagle stocking shelves. I have an interview next week and I am just wondering if this is true? My friend said I'll have to be a bag boy for like 90 days before I can stock shelves.Is it true if I get a job at Giant Eagle I'll have to start off as a bag boy?
Smart guys can often start out as managers and only have to work 2 days a week while earning about $40,000 a year.Is it true if I get a job at Giant Eagle I'll have to start off as a bag boy?
Probably, to be completely honest. They always start you off doing a crappy job.

Is it true that a 10-inch flowerhorn can take down 3 full grown oscars?

My friend has a tank divider, he said although flowerhorn is smaller, broke the tank divider and took down 3 oscars whose size twice the flowerhorn at once. Is flowerhorn that strong?Is it true that a 10-inch flowerhorn can take down 3 full grown oscars?
Flowerhorn can take down 3 full grown oscars when it reaches 10 inches, but chance increases when it is at 12 inches. Some flowerhorn owners have taken good care of their flowerhorn, thus, they grew up to 16 inches, but is rare. They reason flowerhorn can take 3 oscars down at once is because oscars are not aggressive, but big in size.Is it true that a 10-inch flowerhorn can take down 3 full grown oscars?
they can get up to 16 inches and they're territorial (like pure cichlids) so if one is breeding, it will likely be abusive to others in the tank who come into it's area. As far as ';taking out 3 full grown oscars';, this isn't a martial arts movie, so it's not likely he'll be walking down an alley and get jumped by 3 mean tattooed oscars. As with any man hybridized fish, you don't really know what any one's ancestry is (and there's so much debate as to what the real fish are behind the flowerhorn) so who knows how the one you get will react. Because it's a fish mostly popular (and bred) in asia, there's very little control involved in how they're bred, or under what conditions, or even what the parents were! They're known to breed with a half a dozen fish (because that's where they came from) so who knows what'll happen if you add em to your tank. Never mind taking out an oscar, one could mate with it!
Anything is possible. Oscars are not the most aggressive fish in the waters. They're actually a bit shy when placed in environments where they aren't the biggest fish. They are more aggressive with each other when kept in an environment to small for them than towards other fish. My Convict at 6 inches pushes my 15 inch Oscar around all the time.

    Is it true that both Yahoo and Facebook are totally biased against President Obama?

    Every poll i've seen in the past 6 months is worded as an anti - Obama statement. I find this bias to be most offensive. Am I wrong? Prove it.Is it true that both Yahoo and Facebook are totally biased against President Obama?
    Are you talking about the web sites themselves or the people who uses those sites, I, myself, always saw Yahoo users more of pro-Obama. I don't know about Facebook as I rarely venture in it. Earlier on in the year after Obama's election you would have to really look to see anyone biased against Obama, but now it is beginning to look like those pro-Obama has either finally understood what Obama is about, or went into hiding not to be seen as pro-Obama.Is it true that both Yahoo and Facebook are totally biased against President Obama?
    anyone not blindly singing his praises is biased against President Obama. anyone paying attention is biased against President Obama. Anyone who owns a calculator and comes to different numerical conclusions is biased against President Obama. Anyone who thinks that asking questions is within our rights is biased against President Obama. anyone who did not realize fundamental change would be embraced and implemented by anti-american forces is biased against President Obama. anyone who thinks that the dictionary is where words are defined and not the white house is biased against President Obama. anyone who thinks that transparency is different that complete and total secrecy is biased against President Obama. Did you ever think that when he stops seeing us as the enemy things might change. or when he realizes that he works for us or that what we think should matter or that dishonesty is not a quality that brings us closer. Anyone who has not come to suspect this man is not worthy of my respect or time. I'm not telling you to hate. I'm telling you that if you were not raised by heroine addicts in a carnival, simply opening your eyes to see him objectively see him, would be enough. You would come to realize that you have been played by an anti-american socialist. Just open your eyes.
    If you disagree with Obama then you are labelled anti Obama. Its that simple.

    Is it true that small dogs are often meaner than large ones?

    I've seen some small dogs with some pretty bad tempers!Is it true that small dogs are often meaner than large ones?
    yes i lived next door to and evil chihuahua with the most raspiest bark ever it is so funnily evilIs it true that small dogs are often meaner than large ones?
    Neither large or small has to be mean. it is in the way the dog is raised and trained or the lack of. Many dogs have special needs that need to be addressed. Little dogs are in the group. I had a pit bull and my wife a chihuahua and both were friendly and loving. It is like having a child the way your dog turns out is a reflection of how you raise it.
    Small dogs are very often not trained properly. Lack of size does not mean they should lack discipline. Big dogs must be trained well to survive. If they bite, they can do serious damage and the owner and the dog are in trouble. Small dogs are often overlooked in this aspect. When they bite, they don't do much damage, so people are more tolerant of it, though they shouldn't be. Little dogs are often spoiled by their owners, leaving them to be aggressive, anxious, obnoxious, little biting machines. So I would say it's not that they are meaner than big dogs, they are just never taught better.
    yup because they compensate this for their size. They are small so they are more careful and protective of themselves.
    smaller dogs can be more aggressive but a lot of times this is really the owners fault...see being as the dogs are soo small %26amp; cute they tend to get away w more.....as in they are allowed to jump up on people because it doesnt bother the person as the dog only weighs in at like 10 lbs versus a 75 rotty or something.....people tend to disapline smaller dogs less so in the long run thye turn out ot be ill tempered or unruley because they were allowed to get away w it form the get.....bottom line ALL dogs need dicipline %26amp; rules, they are pack animals %26amp; are MUCH happier being a follower than trying to asume the role of pack leader, which should ALWAYS be YOU in your house
    yes that is were the term lil dog syndrome comes from. the fact that they over emphases their personality to make up for lake in size. you will find that the smaller dog will rule the house when their are large size deferences
    Yes people tend not to train them because they are small.


    Go figure!!
    From my experience as a dog groomer I have found that small dogs are more fearful. They seem mean but I think the main reason is that they are smaller then everyone else so feel that they have to be dominant over everyone and other larger dogs. it's called small dog syndrome. It's all in the training. i beleie a lot of owners let there small dogs get away with things because they are cute. so they get spoilt.
    no, it doesnt matter how big they are it matters the way you trained him. my dog is so nice she lets Everyone wake her up when shes sleeping and she'll just wag her tail.
    Do all short people have a napoleon complex?


    I'm short... LOL
    yes this is true most of the time...
    yes......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!鈥?br>




    I don't understand why so many people want these ';tiny'; ';teacup'; things...they are barely dogs.....high strung, more often than not have what I call ';little dog syndrome';, which is rather a ';best defense is an offense'; mentality...and the owners make it worse by not correcting, spoiling, not training....not treating them as dogs
    It seems to be true.. I think it's partly breeding, but I think alot of the reason why many of them are so nasty.. is cause they are tiny and people laugh and think it's adorable when a tiny wee puppy acts aggressive.. By not correcting the behaviour and teasing the dog to get him to act that way to show off to friends, or pretending that it isn't a problem.. People make the dogs into aggressive neurotic little dogs..
    definately!!! i have a fox terrierXjack russell who weighs in at 7kg who when we have a visitor onto our poperty he transforms into a man eating pitbullxsatin dog, snap snap go the jaws. hes my 5 yr olds best friend when with him theres not a mean bone in him. xlnt guard dogs go for the ankles unlike the bigger rotty ect that can be kicked or beaten to the ground
    Depends, their bite is nastier then their bark, however big dogs are pretty mean

    Is it true, food stamps can be used to purchase seeds?

    I would like to know where you can purchase these seeds. And is it only vegetable seeds, or herb seeds also?Is it true, food stamps can be used to purchase seeds?
    Good for you. The government takes enough money from some of us. At least you convinced them you need money for food. Good job and keep up the good work!Is it true, food stamps can be used to purchase seeds?
    The only seeds I know of that you can buy w/ food stamps is bird seed. I haven't heard of buying veggie or herb seeds w/ them!
    You sure can. According to the USDA, they say:

    Is it true that guys care about justice while girls just want everybody to be safe and feel good?

    I've heard that psychologists say that men care more about meting out punishment and upholding fairness, while women just want everyone to be safe/healthy.Is it true that guys care about justice while girls just want everybody to be safe and feel good?
    Define justice. Can you have justice if most people are not safe and healthy? Do you need to meet out punishments or remediate problems in order to bring about fairness.


    I think everyone is concerned with justic and fairness. I think we all wish for everyone to be safe and healthy. The way we go about it may be different by gender, by ethnicity, by religion. I think we all want the same things regardless of how we go about achieving it.Is it true that guys care about justice while girls just want everybody to be safe and feel good?
    no way! I'm a woman, a therapist, and i care a whole lot more about justice than safety/health. Don't believe stereotypes - not even from a psychologist's mouth. All research studies must be reviewed by peers, but even then, that book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, is now being challenged by the neuropsychiatric community since brain scans show men may not be that different from women.
    ***and NO, it's not true. You say you ';heard'; this.


    You need to find more trustworthy sources, because whoever told you this, is pretty much clueless. Remember, there are female lawyers and judges in this world. Their entire profession is based on fairness, so there you go.











    That's a grossly misleading generalization. I don't think that any modern-thinking psychologist would ever say something like that.

  • Is it true people regret not going to University because they feel they've missed out on love?

    I heard on BBC Radio 2 that most people leave university with a partner. And that people who don't go university regret it because they feel they've missed out on love.





    Is this true?Is it true people regret not going to University because they feel they've missed out on love?
    I know of some people who went to University, failed their degrees and left University in huge debt because they spent all their time screwing around instead of studying.





    Is that of any help?Is it true people regret not going to University because they feel they've missed out on love?
    Well...my parents didn't meet in college. They met at a pizza place lol.


    And none of my friends' parents met at college, either...I guess it depends what you're going to college for. People who go for school (like you're supposed to) probably find a partner, because they're not looking for love...But you shouldn't take out a ton of loans (or have your parents pay major $$$) just so you can get some booty...
    I think that's an outdated opinion. Most people today go to a college/university to get an education. If you meet a special someone along the way and it works out then great.


    But most people are having fun and partying and trying to pass their classes.
    Seems plausible to me just cuz in college you meet people of similar intelligence and with similar interests (like if you are in the same major).





    But idk, I'm in college so I can't really say if I regret not going haha.
    GO to university to get a damn education.
    Only if you're going for an MRS. degree.
    i dunno i m 17 n havent finished school yet
    i don´t think so.
    thats stupid.

    Is it true you start to show earlier on your second pregnancy?

    Yes, because your muscles have already been stretched out.Is it true you start to show earlier on your second pregnancy?
    Absolutely.Is it true you start to show earlier on your second pregnancy?
    1st - 7 months


    2nd 5 months


    3rd 3 months
    yes, yes, yes. I my second pregnacy I got sooo much bigger. My husband had to help me with so much more my second pregnancy. I think I started showing about 12 weeks, When I was 30 weeks pregnant I was sized like 35 weeks. My son was also a big baby he cam 3 weeks early and was 8 pounds 13 ounces. When my husband was born he weighed 11 pounds 13 ounces.... it must run in the family
    Most people say they do.


    I wouldn't know because my first pregnancy was with twins and the second was only one so I was showing earlier in my first pregnancy than I was in my second.


    This time (the third) I started showing earlier than with my second pregnancy but I started off weighing four kg more than last time.
    I started showing much earlier my second go round. I was plus size both times i was pregnant (almost the same weight at the beginning of both) and I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until 7 months w/my first one...but I was in them at 4 months w/my second one.
    I didn't, and my babies were pretty close to the same size at birth too.

    Is it true Hermione gets killed in the order of the phoenix?

    Has anyone read the book and can answer that? I have always loved Hermione's character so if she is killed I don't want to see the movie. Is it true Hermione gets killed in The order of the phoenix?Is it true Hermione gets killed in the order of the phoenix?
    No she dosnt


    she almost doesIs it true Hermione gets killed in the order of the phoenix?
    She doesn't... It's Sirius Black that dies.
    no
    no she goes unconsious but that happened in the second book her character is too important
    No, she doesn't.


    But, a deatheater almost puts the killing spell on Hermione, but Harry distracts the deatheater, forcing the deatheater not to finish the spell.
    No, she doesn't, but she does get hit with a spell that looks like it kills her. She's fine by the end, though.





    If you're a fan of certain people whose last names are a color, though, you might want to watch out.
    No, she is not the one who dies, though (i think) J.K.R. said that there will be at least one person who dies in every book/movie after GOF
    She doesn't, Trust Me!!
    no, but she almost gets killed. I love hermione too. :)
    almost, but no, she doesn't. And then ron has to carry her back (i hoped that they would kiss, but they didn't **sigh**)
    No hermione does NOT die in book 5 or 6.
    No,iHermione only gets injured but not killed,its sirius who gets killed
    No, Hermione does %26lt;i%26gt;not%26lt;/i%26gt; die in Order of the Phoenix. There are rumors that she will die in Deathly Hallows, but no one will know till July 21.
    NO!!! She's to clever to gets killed!
    Absolutely not. You should read the books-they are really worth your time.
    You should try reading the books as well, however, the answer to your question is no, Hermione Granger does not die in Order of the Phoenix or The Half-Blood Prince.
    Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in the seven book series and a living Hermione will be in the seventh book. So no, she does not die in Order of the Phoenix. Nor does Harry, Ron, Ginny, Malfoy, Neville, Snape, Dumbledore, McGonagal, Hagrid, Crabbe, Goyle, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Lupin, Fred and George, Fudge, Flitwick, Percy, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Dean, and Seamus.

    Is it true that California has tuition waivers for dependents of veterans, but not for veterans themselves?

    I'm a veteran and would like to attend at online program at Cal State. Everything I've read (even the CA VA site) said there's a tuition waiver for certain dependents, but I can't find anything about a waiver for veterans themselves. Do they really offer it to the dependents but not to the actual people who served? An answer from a veteran who's attended recently would be appreciated!Is it true that California has tuition waivers for dependents of veterans, but not for veterans themselves?
    I am not a Californian veteran but I looked around and there is a fee waiver for veterans, but not for residency at a college.

    Is it true the Earths poles will swap polarity in the near future?

    As in the magnetism will switch so compases point in opposite directions.





    And as a side point will we turn maps upside down?





    Please tell me I haven't made this up...Is it true the Earths poles will swap polarity in the near future?
    Yes, as it has occurred before, and ';near future'; is a relative term, it may take a few 1000's of years.





    Why would we need to turn maps around? North being ';up'; is a totally arbitrary decision, which is not based on the magnetic field. As for compass, we will simply have the red end point South and the green North and that would not make much difference3--either that or you buy a new compass with the magnetic bar labeled the opposite way.





    The major problem would be for the migratory birds who have a bit of magnetite in their head to feel where the North is. They will be a fit confused for a few years.Is it true the Earths poles will swap polarity in the near future?
    Yes it is true. Although i don't know everything on the matter i do know that in the past 30 or so years the earth poles have moved about 20-30 degrees further away from true north and south. And that when the poles do switch we could be plunged into another ice age, for reasons which i don't know
    I'm not sure about the ';near future'; but it will certainly happen - has done quite a lot in the past.
    As polarity switches, a process that can take roughly a couple thousand years, the poles begin to spiral away from the true north and begin to weaken as a couple previously alluded to. Then the poles will completely disappear. There will be no ice age caused by this but the earth's magnetosphere that helps protect us from cosmic rays will be neutralized and therefore the cancer rates will probably increase. The magnetic field is thought to be caused by eddies of convection currents in the outer liquid metal (mostly iron) outer core. This spinning eddy forms a kind of dynamo. As the earth spins, some eddies become aligned with the earth's axis and form a net magnetic pole. During reversals, that net effect is missing. There is still magnetism generated by the earth's outer core, it is simply random in orientation.
    There hasn't been one for a while and the indications are, due to polar wandering and an increasing weakness in the Earth's magnetic field, that it won't be long before there is another one.





    There are two theories -





    The first states that the magnetic polarity reverses, the second that the Earth actually tilts on its axis so the North Pole actually moves to the position of the South Pole.





    Should be pretty interesting when it does happen in either event!
    well, in fact i don't think the earth will swap polarity!! indeed, the axis the of earth has been rotated due to the 1994 event!!! i.e when an asteorite was abt to hit the earth but instead hit jupiter due to its much larger gravitetional field than the earth!!!





    then, the impact of that collision made the earth tilt a little!!!





    but to swap polarity, well, that seems quite impossible, at least for the near future!! lol......(jupiter will hav to suffer a lot


    :-)...
    It is certainly true that the Earth's magnetic field has reversed itself many times in the past (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_m鈥?/a> I've never heard of a predictive model for it though.


    Most likely the only consequence is that the labels on a compass needle would be swapped.
    Very likely, but ';near'; is likely to be in terms of geological time, not next year!


    There seems to be virtually a new subject, I'd call it ';computational geomagnetodynamics';, which does indeed predict reversals of the field due to processes within the earth, and there is geological evidence that this has happened in the past (from magnetism ';frozen'; in volcanic rock). You didn't make it up...


    But we won't turn maps, because the earth's geographic north pole is defined by its rotation, not its magnetic field, and won't change.
    Near future in geological time. Longer than anyone reading this will be able to wait, though.

    Is it true that Bag Balm gets rid of human stretchmarks?

    Please tell me if it is true.My friend told me that some women use it to get rid of strtch marks, but I never heard of it.I just hear that it is form animals.Is it true that Bag Balm gets rid of human stretchmarks?
    bag balm does NOTHING for stretch marks.


    it does help prevent them if you use it on your stomach while you are pregnant, but after the fact, it is useless.Is it true that Bag Balm gets rid of human stretchmarks?
    Bag balm probably could help smooth them and make them less noticeable, but it is doubtful that it would get rid of stretch marks completely. Many people use bag balm as a moisturizer, it is not just for farm animals and can be found in most drug stores.
    No, only on monkeys.

  • Is it true that Market Makers will pin an option between strikes?

    I have been trading options for 7 years now and have noticed that sometimes options with high open interest on the calls and puts will be pinned down until the position expires. Is this true or just circumstance? Either way it seems suspect.Is it true that Market Makers will pin an option between strikes?
    %26lt;%26lt;%26lt;Is it true that Market Makers will pin an option between strikes?%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;





    Yes it happens sometimes but not as an intentional manipulation by anyone. It can happen as a natural consequence of the way market makers hedge their delta risk.





    Option market makers buy and sell shares to hedge risk. Sometimes, but not always, their positions will require that to hedge they sell the stock when the price goes up and that they buy the stock when the price goes down. That can result in a stabilizing infuluece on the stock price and the price being pinned until expiry.





    At other times their positions will require that to hedge they sell the stock when the price goes down and that they buy the stock when the price goes up. That can result in an increase in the volatility of the stock price, particularly close to expiry.Is it true that Market Makers will pin an option between strikes?
    Market makers are tightly regulated and closely watched. I highly doubt that a market maker would risk his career and going to jail to manipulate the price.





    Market makers can make plenty of money in legal ways. They don't have to risk jail time.

    Is it true that Chlorinated water is good for planting?

    I found an asnwer on here before but i can't find it any more. Any helps? It's for my science fair project. Also, is chorinated is in sink water too?Is it true that Chlorinated water is good for planting?
    Fluoride is in tap/sink water it's supposed to help your teeth





    Chlorinated water is used in swimming pools it help kill bugs and bacteria, it makes some people ill, I wouldn't put it on my plants.


    Rain water is best for plants.Is it true that Chlorinated water is good for planting?
    I thought that it was swimming bath water.. and i wouldnt use it on my plants..
    I don't know where your previous answers came from as all water used for public supply in the UK has to go through a chlorination process. I work for one of the biggest water companies in the UK and have personally worked on a chlorination plant to treat raw water. In conjunction with this all new mains laid have to be chlorinated before they are put into use. So yes it is used for planting, and drinking and washing up, washing the car etc etc so long as you don't have a water meter. Then if you are eco friendly you use rain water.

    I heard on the radio today about plans to build a Disney World or Disneyland in Frisco, Texas. They said they were planning on announcing it on Super Bowl Weekend. Does anyone know if this is true? They said it would be around Highway 380 and Dallas North Tollway. Is there even an area around there big enough to build a Disney World? Thanks for any help!Is it true there is going to be a Disney World or Disneyland in Frisco, TX?
    I often read up on the Disney Company's Official Press Releases, and I've heard nothing of this. A lot of other people have asked this question, though. There are websites that list all of the current works of the Company and none of them list a new Park in Texas. It's very possible they've purchased land in texas, but it definitely doesn't mean they're building a Park. Maybe they're just building a store, or maybe they're making a new destination for their new vacation program ';Adventures by Disney.'; Unless you heard it on Radio Disney, I wouldn't believe it.





    I guess we'll know for sure sometime this weekend, though.Is it true there is going to be a Disney World or Disneyland in Frisco, TX?
    they keep on saying that but too tell u the truth i think they are not going to build one cause they have been saying that for along time already and i havent seen or heard of it yet....well i hope this helps
    Because the radio is always right...........
    First, Disney had their annual stockholders meeting last week. If something was going to be announced, it would have been then.





    Second, Disney has a lot of land in Florida and California. Their focus is bringing people to these parks by adding attractions, and ';fixing'; California Adventure to be more Disney-like. If there's rumors about adding another park, it would be more likely to be in Anaheim or Orlando.





    Third, although attendance has been good at the parks on both coasts, a third park in Texas would draw folks from either existing park. While it might be more convenient for you to visit, Disney doesn't want their existing operations to lose money.





    Fourth, Disney has been rumored to be buying property and building parks in practically every state of the union, plus Canada and Mexico. It won't happen for all the reasons above.





    So no, there will be no Disney park in Texas anytime soon.
    I used to work for Disney in Florida for 4 years. It would be unusual for them, but not improbable...They have them in other countries, maybe they've decided to expand in the states, but I doubt it, unless they've planned something with a different type of theme. And you know how much Disney loves theming...... It would be great if they built something in my home state....
    No
    WE WERE SHOPPING FOR A HOME IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS ABOUT YEAR AGO. WE WERE TOLD BY A REAL ESTATE AGENT THAT KNEW ANOTHER AGENT THAT HAD SOLD A LARGE AMOUNT OF LAND TO THE DISNEY CORPORATION IN WESTERN SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO. DO NOT KNOW HOW RELIABLE THIS IS TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH. TIME WILL TELL SAN ANTONIO WOULD BE BETTER THAN DALLAS THE WEATHER IS BETTER.
    hey, i heard that 2. there are some discussion forums where they talk about that! yeah i have heard that. lets just hope there is becuz i love disney world. who doesnt, its a place for all ages. by the way go to google and type in disney wordl in frisco texas! lol


    hope ive helped!

    Is it true that a woman defecates every time she has a contraction?

    One of my friends is trying to tell me that this is true, but I asked my mother and she says it isn't.Is it true that a woman defecates every time she has a contraction?
    No, but many women defacate in labor when they are pushing, because the same muscles are used in each task.Is it true that a woman defecates every time she has a contraction?
    Gosh, no. Many women are given an enema as part of the ';prep'; once labor has begun after they have been admitted to the hospital, that's all
    U know i freaked out about the same darn thing when i was pregnant. I was reading all kinds of pregnancy books and all of them said that you were likely to poop on yourself during labor. I was scared because i thought that would be embarrassing. Well i wound up using the bathroom all the time the week before i went into labor, and the most embarrassing thing that happened was when my husband turned to me after i had given birth a shouted out in front of everybody ';Honey good news you didn't crap all over our baby, believe me i was watching for it.'; everybody had a good chuckle over that.
    I've never heard of that. My mom had 6 children and never defecated during giving birth or contractions. I'm sure that some women defecate while giving birth as I actually knew a women to do so. I believe you may have heard a weird rumor or tall tale because many women have had contractions without that side effect.
    Not true. Contractions use different muscles.





    In the early throws of having a baby, women usually try and do a number #2 (or have an enema as informed above) because the process of pushing a baby out of that tiny orifice requires the support of every muscle a woman can exert towards it... except for her pelvic floor which she must release as much as possible... and that is why sh*** happens... if there is some remaining in the bowel to release on exertion.





    The whole process is meant to be beautiful etc etc but really thats a crock..... it is the most exhausting experience a man can make the unfortunatel mistake of being involved in... and with the modern age, we get roped in there solid - as the fall guy! It is much better portrayed in the movies where you hang around in a waiting room with a pocket full of cigars.





    Strangely parents are programmed to forget this fact and often anti-up for another.
    i had a baby not that long ago and i didnt defecate at all during labore but i had to really bad after i was done
    no, but she may feel pain in her belly or lower back.

    Is it true your breast grow larger if you go to sleep in a bra?

    I did this untill i was 13 i was wondering if its true or just a myth.Is it true your breast grow larger if you go to sleep in a bra?
    NO. But, I heard a very suprising medical study on the radio that some dr's believe wearing a bra 24/7 may attribute to cancer. They believe the bra band and elastic interfers with the body's lymphatic system and it stores toxins in the body. I was really suprised by this and I can't believe they aren't making more women aware of this. I've always heard stories of women wearing bras at night to prevent sagginess, but you could possibly get cancer by doing this.(if the study is accurate)Is it true your breast grow larger if you go to sleep in a bra?
    yea, what the first person said
    that sounds like a horrible myth, plus it seems very uncomfortable and unnecessary during sleep, it takes age, hormones and body fat to create bigger breast....
    it is a myth. your breasts are controlled by your horomones and your body fat. sleeping in a bra has no control over either of those things.
    No sorry to burst your bubble but it is a total myth. The only way your breasts grow is naturally or if you have implants.
    no, it is the complete opposite! think about it.... do the breast have room to grow when they are shoved in a bra 24/7? nope
    Lol....no. I fall asleep in my bra every other night and I think my breasts are shrinking...
    no it will just keep them from sagging when you get old
    Try sticking the bra over your head, who knows, it might make your brain bigger.
    You should read your question and see if it seems goofy before posting it.

    Is it true that if you support neither a Democrat nor a Republican you are a terrorist?

    It is the case in Missouri. I wonder if it will spread throughout the U.S.





    Does this mean that Third Party supporters/candidates are terrorists?Is it true that if you support neither a Democrat nor a Republican you are a terrorist?
    How sad that we've come down to this. Our Founding Fathers didn't even envision political parties as part of our government, and now look at us.





    Actually, to me it's just the opposite. I went the third party route because I believed that neither major party had the best interests of America in mind anymore. If wanting the best for my country makes me a terrorist, so be it. It just proves what I've said for years now: If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, the government jackboots would be hauling him off to Guantanamo, on charges of insurrection.Is it true that if you support neither a Democrat nor a Republican you are a terrorist?
    If you are referring to Glen Beck's comments, he was talking about how these are ';guidlines'; for profiling domestic terrorrists.





    Yes, 3rd party supporters are considered possibilities. But the methods used to calculate the possibilities are left-wing skewed because we have a left-wing government.





    As for ';Missouri,'; the report was prepared by an institution in Missouri; it is not the case only in that state.





    WATCH what it was all about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoQhyRXCT…
    Missouri believes that you are a terrorist if you oppose any of the following:





    The New World Order


    The United Nations


    Gun Control


    The violation of Posse Comitatus


    The Federal Reserve


    The Income Tax


    The Ammunition Accountability Act


    A possible Constitutional Convention (Con Con)


    The North American Union


    Universal Service Program


    Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)


    Abortion on demand


    Illegal Immigration





    So basically they are under the impression that you, as a citizen, should lay down and let the government make your decisions and you better like it or you are a traitor. My hubby is from Missouri and I'm waiting to hear from him on this. All I know is that I don't think I could ever live there. I was thoroughly upset during the campaign when Missouri law enforcement officers were harrassing people who spoke, advertised and/or vocalized their opinions of Obama. Or should I say...negative opinions of Obama.
    I remember glancing over an article posted on a libertarian news website. I dug up the link, and it's here below. So, to answer the question, it appears that if one supports ANY libertarian candidate, he/she can and might be classified as a 'terrorist' to Missouri's statist regime.
    No, it makes you an independent or a member of the Green Party or someone who does not think that the policies of either party are going to save the mess our nation has become. Being able ot hold that belief is part of that silly thing most people forget. You know, the First Ammendment?
    Well, some states seem to be more likely to have home grown terrorists it seems but I'm not seeing a nationwide trend.


    I think a lot of it has to be due to the local culture and social expectations in the communities.
    I say get rid of this trivial ';party system'; that says: if you're not red or blue, then feck off.





    I support the yellows, greens, and occasionally the purples.





    do we even have any purples?
    It is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. I don't see why they even do that in Missouri - if this is true.





    Edit - People like Andy are nuts. Not agreeing with or supporting republicans does not make you a terrorist.
    I think that if you support neither a Democrat nor a Republican you are SMART and don't conform to the socially accepted political parties.
    how does that work?


    Americans are free to their viewpoints and if theey don't agree with one of two things that's fine. isn't freedom of choice part of the legacy in America? how no one can tell you what to think?
    I know people who are third party in Missouri. I am not sure where you are getting your info.





    He is very verbal about this and would have been taken in long before now if Missouri considered him a terrorist.
    If you have a Ron Paul bumper sticker your part of a militia to take down the United States. HAHAHAHAHA, I saw the same thing on Glen Beck last night.
    at this point in time there is not many republicans or democrats I do support.


    We need a middle eastern guy to copy that red neck comedian.


    You might be a terorist if..
    There are no terrorists in the Obama era. They are now refered to as ';Man-Made Disaster Engineers';
    At this point in time if you are neither you are a patriot, and you care about the constitution.
    Not at all, I belong to the American Independent Party and I certainly am not a terrorist.
    I've voted thrid party for president ever since I could start voting which was in the 2000 election.
    As an independent, I've been told that on here several times. Like it's unAmerican not to choose one of the ';only 2'; sides.
    I'm a rebel!!!
    no everybody else is a separate group i forgot what the group is called
    Not true.
    No it isn't true.
    No. It means you've been paying attention.
    Thats just not true
    no. it means you are an independent.
    Where did you hear that? If it's true, then I must be a terrorist.
    NO
    It's true that if you don't support Republicans, then you don't consider terrorists a threat to the nation. Which by my standards, makes you no better than a terrorists.

  • Is it true that computer engineers can't become professional engineers?

    I heard this from someone and I want to confirm it and if possible the reason why they can't. Thanks!Is it true that computer engineers can't become professional engineers?
    I'm not quite sure by what you mean as ';professional'; engineers. Certainly, computer engineers typically find a ';professional'; career. Some go into hardware design, software design, etc. Others sometimes move into more of an electrical engineer-related field.





    Here are some other areas they go into:


    * Artificial Intelligence -- Develop computers that simulate human learning and reasoning ability.


    * Computer Design and Engineering -- Design new computer circuits, microchips, and other electronic components.


    * Computer Architecture -- Design new computer instruction sets, and combine electronic or optical components to provide powerful but cost-effective computing.


    * Information Technology -- Develop and manage information systems that support a business or organization.


    * Computer Theory -- Investigate the fundamental theories of how computers solve problems, and apply the results to other areas of computer science.


    * Operating Systems and Networks -- Develop the basic software computers use to supervise themselves or to communicate with other computers.Is it true that computer engineers can't become professional engineers?
    I think, the computer engineers can become professional engineers, because the computer more technology than manual work.
    No its not true as i m an engineer i dnt think so


    they are many professional jobs in each an every field like lang,operating systems etc........

    Is it true in Central America there are howler monkeys who love to pick coconuts and throw them at people?

    I heard these monkeys are way up in a tall tree and they see tourists walk by and they will pick a coconut and deliberately drop them on people's heads. And a 3 pound hard coconut lobbed from a 30 or 40 foot tree can smash your skull and kill you! I also heard that the local people think it's funny when this happens.Is it true in Central America there are howler monkeys who love to pick coconuts and throw them at people?
    I am Brazilian and I was never in Am茅rica Central, therefore I cannot tell you if it is true. but in the Iraq journalists they throw shoe in the people.Is it true in Central America there are howler monkeys who love to pick coconuts and throw them at people?
    well i live in colombia, which in not in central but south america, and i've never seen this or heard about this happening. this probably wouldn't happen because there aren't monkeys everywhere you go, just in zoos and jungles. also, coconuts grow on palm trees, and i don't think that monkeys usually climb them.
    Not true in costa rica
    I really don't think so, may be in the deep jungle but not in cities

    Is it true that there are laws against domestic noise in Germany at the weekends? if so, what are they?

    I'd heard that you're not able to use a lawnmower or hedge cutter in Germany after noon on Saturday. Does this apply to other domestic appliances? Loud music?Is it true that there are laws against domestic noise in Germany at the weekends? if so, what are they?
    I'm not sure if it's law exactly but it's certainly ettiquete. There are kind of unwritten rules about when you should and shouldn't make noise. I lived in Germany for six months last year and when I moved into my room (I was renting a room in a German woman's flat) I wanted to put a nail into the wall to hang my calendar. It was about 10pm in the evening on a weekend, possibly a Sunday, and I asked my landlady if she had a hammer. She was so shocked that I wanted a hammer at 10pm and asked why. I told her and she said but you can't use it now it's 10pm! Do it tomorrow morning but after 7am. Really weird! It was one nail and would have taken all of 5 seconds to bang in!





    Our German teacher also told us of a guy who went on his placement year to Germany. He had an apartment in a small town with a balcony that overlooked the main town square where the church was. He was in the habit of hanging his washing over the balcony to dry and was surprised when he received complaints from the townspeople who, on their way to church on Sundays, were confronted with his underwear flapping in the breeze! Obviously ein grosse Fehler!! =DIs it true that there are laws against domestic noise in Germany at the weekends? if so, what are they?
    My brother lived in Germany for several years. He couldn't use his hoover or washing machine after a certain time during the week never mind the weekend and as for loud music forget it!!!! the Police would be called. The Germans aren't shy about complaining about bad or antisocial behaviour no matter who or where you are. When my brother wanted to have a party he and his friends would go to an outside enclosed area (which was like an garden allotment) with their kegs of beer and food and party undisturbed all night long They had a large wooden building with cots and sleeping bags where they slept and everyone cleared up the next day. Great in the summer forget about it in the winter.
    I don't know about Germany but roughly the same thing applies in the UK, and quite rightly.


    If the neighbours persist in making a row they are eventually sorted out, who wants to hear loud music and banging about at all hours, this is one law I am in favour with.


    Another one I would be in favour of, is banning these kids that drive their cars around with the windows wide open and the CD on full blast so the populace can hear, and enjoy ? their choice of 'Hip Hoppy' cra* music, I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to hear how great their engine sounds with half the exhaust missing, so that will be the next campaigning bit on my part.


    Apart from that enjoy yourselves, don't invollve me in it. Remember there will always be miserable old far*s like me watching you! And you will be one yourself one day, if your ear drums are still up to it!
    Yes, it's true that there are laws against ';excessive'; noise during quiet hours. Germans love their quiet time and their right to enjoy it. Though most of the larger towns and cities aren't quite the stickler for enforcing these days, the small villages will, and do. Sundays and legal holidays and late hours are times when noise is supposed to be held to a minimum. Everyone understands that it's impractical to have unlimited quiet hours, otherwise no work would get done. But usually, each community has a certain standard or unofficial agreement and tolerance level that most neighbors abide by.


    Flagrantly ignoring quiet time can result in a visit from the polizei and a nice fine to boot!

    Is it true that Navajo Native Americans do not buy or sell animals?

    I am looking to rehome my dog and I was contacted by someone who says he is native american, specifically Navajo, and that they do not believe in buying or selling animals. He said this to let me know that if I had a rehoming fee that he would not be interested. Is this true?Is it true that Navajo Native Americans do not buy or sell animals?
    sounds strange. i'm native..not navaho, but i've never heard such a thing. i know a lot of natives in the southwest are ranchers. i'm sure they don't give their animals away. beware when someone says they are native. most aren't. they are called pretindiansIs it true that Navajo Native Americans do not buy or sell animals?
    Well if he actually said that he won't be interested then he's not interested so that really has nothing to do with being Native ';American';. Then again him being Native ';American'; also helps his statement because they are usually more respectful to nature. Also noted by the fact that they don't believe (this is just according to school textbooks, not real life experience) in the ability to own land so the same must be for those who inhabit it. Since you have gotten some real life experience with a supposedly real life Native ';American'; then I guess that means that they don't buy or sell them. Yes there was a story not to long ago about the Navajo and NASA. You see NASA was working near a Navajo community and decided it would be nice to see if the Navajo had anything to say so that they could send it up in a space shuttle in a recorder and play it out there. So the NASA men went to the Navajo community and asked some random person what he wanted to say. He said it and when the NASA man asked what he had said the Navajo man wouldn't tell him. So the NASA man asked all around town only to be turned down by everyone after they finished laughing so he paid someone to tell him. It said ';Be careful they come to take your land';.
    There are PLENTY of Indian Cattlemen, sheep raisers, etc.


    HOWEVER, PETS are FAMILY.





    Would you sell a family member?





    I do know a dog breeder that is Dine (navajo) and she does charge for the dogs she sells, BUT she also gives about the same amount in food, shots, etc for the dog.
    I have been married to my husband for quite a while now and he is dine(navajo) traditionally it is not right to buy or sell any animals used for pets they will buy to feed the family cattle, sheep, chickens and most of the time they trade for other items we beleive animals need to be respected and only used for food protection or herding many dogs that we have are treated like family members so it just isn't right to buy or sell them. i hope this helps... good luck!

    Is it true Ritalin is chemically similar to cocaine and Adderall is chemically similar to methamphetamine?

    I currently take Adderall for ADD (it works well for my symptoms) and am slightly curious/concerned. I used to take Ritalin and it didn't work as well. I take it for adult ADD (I am 35 years old). Tried Strattera as well, and it was ineffective.Is it true Ritalin is chemically similar to cocaine and Adderall is chemically similar to methamphetamine?
    Yes it is chemically similar, but that doesn't mean you are a meth addict because you take it. I took a similar drug for several years with no negative real negative side effects but switched to a non-stimulant just because I wasn't a big fan of the idea either. If you are really concerned, you can talk to your doctor about other options. There are some medications for ADD/ADHD that are not stimulants, but like you said, they can possibly be less effective depending on the person taking them. Your best bet would be to do a little research on the topic and then go to your doctor with what you find and have them help you get a better idea of what it all means.Is it true Ritalin is chemically similar to cocaine and Adderall is chemically similar to methamphetamine?
    It's chemically similar like how oil is chemically similar to protein. It doesn't really mean much of anything to be chemically similar.
    no METH makes yu all bugged out and adderall makes you focused so way diff

    Is it true that after your vehicle inspection expires, you have a month to get an inspection?

    My inspection sticker expired May 31. Is it still legal to drive for a month afterward? Someone told me this, but said they weren't sure.Is it true that after your vehicle inspection expires, you have a month to get an inspection?
    It needs to be done by your Birthday or the tag office will charge you a fee..Is it true that after your vehicle inspection expires, you have a month to get an inspection?
    The rule is not the same in every state. Some states have a grace period. Some do not.
    Not true, you have to get inspected by that date. The month you're refering to is only *if* you fail the inspection, then you can still drive it for 30 days, but you have to get it reinspected within those 30 days.


    Get it inspected asap.
    You can still drive and if you are pulled over, which is highly unlikely, you will usually only get a warning.
    Most states will give a 5 day grace period but it is the officer's discreation whether or not they write a ticket
    Yes it is true. I live in New Hampshire and you have 30 extra days to get your vehicle inspected. They don't broadcast it but you do. I was a service advisor at a auto dealership. Yes, you can drive until you get your new inspection sticker. But remember each state could vary in that rule so please check with your department of motor vehicles.


    Rule of thumb.. get it over with and do it when it's due.
    yes get it done

    I would like to colour my hair for the first time and someone told me not to wash it for at least 3 days before my appointment.Is it true that is advisable not to wash the hair before having it coloured?
    I think it is better to not wash it for a few days. Your hair will catch the dye more if it is unwashed and you will like the results more. Wait more than just 24 hours. Three days is about right. Unwashed hair will also protect your hair's sensitivity to the dye chemicals.Is it true that is advisable not to wash the hair before having it coloured?
    no you should wash it just dont use conditioner. shampoo strips ur hair then conditoner puts that silky coating over it. the dye will come out with a more brilliant colour if you dont condition.
    lol it's true, but you don't have to wait 3 days.


    Id say 24 hours.


    If you washed it right before it could turn green/uneven colors.
    You should wait at least 24 hours, just so you have a layer to protect your scalp from harsh chemicals. 3 days is too much.
    3 days is cool.
    no you dont ha\/e to wait 3 days. just around 24 hours.
    no.

    Is it true Obama is paying gang members to intimidate old whites into voting for him?

    My teacher told me, it just does not seem fair.Is it true Obama is paying gang members to intimidate old whites into voting for him?
    YesIs it true Obama is paying gang members to intimidate old whites into voting for him?
    My advice to those who say ';my spouse wants me to vote for X, but I don't want to';. Stop discussing or arguing about your vote-the polling booth is private, your spouse will never know how you voted.


    So, it is a waste of money to pay gang members to intimidate ';old whites'; into voting for Obama. In any case most seniors vote absentee ballot.
    Another person who is taking a page out of McCain's slander and lie spreading rule.


    It is accually helping us showing the people the true side of McCain, his camp, and supporters!!!
    Yes, and McCain is paying old whites into driving to the polls with their turn signal on. Causing traffic jams, accidents and restricting access to the polls.
    Does your teacher wear a white hood to class?





    Sounds like it.





    No - O'bama isn't sending the crips to the old Majong players in Miami to intimidate them for votes.
    No, but a right wing nut killed the head of the Democratic party in Arkansas, and Democratic headquarters have been vandalized.
    That's pretty funny. If gang members are hassling seniors, it's just for their sadistic entertainment.
    If your teacher is McCain, tell him to change his Depends. The odor is getting horrible.
    it's his future policy: ';one bullet, one cracker';
    as an old white i can tell you NOBODY CAN TELL ME HOW TO DO ANYTHING.


    just look at that other old guy mccain, nobody can tell him anything either. he already knows it all.

    Is it a myth and do you have to be pregnant while taking them?Is it true that taking prenatal vitamins are good for growing hair?
    No it is not a myth. However, there are a lot of vitamins in there that you don't need.





    You can get the same effect by buying GNC's Women's Hair, Skin %26amp; Nails Formula vitamin. Then you aren't getting all the extra vitamins you don't need from the prenatal vitamins.

Is diet coke or diet pepsi bad for your bones?Is it true diet coke or diet pepsi is not good for your bones?
    Yes, but it isn't the caffeine, it's the carbon dioxide. Drink a few glasses of low-fat or non-fat milk a day instead, and maybe cut back to just one can of soda a day. Don't overdo it on the milk, though, as that can be bad for you as well. Usually a lot of any one thing isn't good for you.





    If you are lactose intolerant, then you can always try drinking soy-milk with vitamin D and calcium added.Is it true diet coke or diet pepsi is not good for your bones?
    No, it's not the carbon dioxide in the soda that's bad for our bones. We BREATHE carbon dioxide! It's phosphorus in soda that depletes the calcium in our bones.

    all soda period is not good for your bone caffine is not good for you. Yes you do need to drink milk and other products bc milk is the best for your bones if you dont you will regret it when youget older. so what your mom said is true
    Try this: Get yourself a small chicken bone, like from the wing or something and drop it into a glass full of Diet whichever you want for 3 or 4 days and see what happens to the bone then. That'll be your answer.
    True





    The poster ahead of me is correct. Also the sweetener in Diet is very bad for your system
    I drink Diet Coke too. Always have.


    I've heard it draws calicum from your bones.


    But who knows.


    I think it's better to drink fewer calories than to drink all the calories in regular coke and gain more weight.


    Which we know is unhealthy.
    3 or 4 a day won't hurt you. The tests she's probably heard about or read about were on rats that were force-fed the equivalent of 2 CASES a day or more. There's a web site by a guy who went into all that, you can search for 'diet coke' and it'll come up.
    If it wasn't, I'd be crippled by now.

    Is it true that Ronaldinho struggled with alcoholism?

    I heard this somewhere a few weeks ago. I don't understand how being one of the greatest players in the world and being an alcoholic could go hand in hand, although I guess it could be true.Is it true that Ronaldinho struggled with alcoholism?
    I don't know specifically about Ronaldinho, but I think most people would probably be surprised by the amount that professional soccer players drink, especially overseas. While I was playing professionally several years ago, it was relatively common for players to drink (and smoke) the night before games. I wouldn't say everybody did it, but a significant percentage. Further back in history, it was even more common. It seems weird, but it does happen. Hope this helps.Is it true that Ronaldinho struggled with alcoholism?
    i don't think so





    but maradona did have a severe alcohol problem (i don't know if he does anymore)





    so just because u are one of the greatest players in the world does not mean u cannot have these kinda problems





    no i do not think Ronaldinho has an alcohol problem
    Its juz a rumours dun trst it............
    No wonder he dribbles so well. Might be falling over in stupor not faking.
    I dont think so.
    as far as I know
    no rumor
    ITS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!
    ive actually met Ronaldinho, stayed with him for like 2 days, honestly, he does NOT have a problem with alcohol, he invited me %26amp; a few mates to go bowling in Barcelona few months back, why he invited us? he said you %26amp; your freinds are slim tall pretty %26amp; said he wants us to spend a few days with him, trust me this is true, honeslty, he was a gentlemen, never told us to do this or that, never asked anythign from us apart from inviting us, i got his MSN add hehehe, he helps me with financial things, as in buying me things when i need them, gives us tickets for some matches he plays in, Domestic %26amp; Internationally, oooooops, sorry i dont think im meant to be saying this,, lol, its just i get carried away sometimes, i just feel like telling these stuff to ppl, even if i dont know them, sometimes it feels like a dream but i truly know for fact Ronaldinho does not have a alcohol problem as i talk to him on a regular basis %26amp; meet him quite a few times now, and i can again honestly truly say he does not have many people like me %26amp; a few mates from outside where he plays, we live in the UK,%26amp; he plays in Spain %26amp; all over the world sometimes but he keeps us as his girl mates which as i have stated he does not have much as for footballing %26amp; personal reasons as u can understand, maybe as fans he does but not as me %26amp; my freinds are with him which is actual regular contact, helping us with our lives, buying us things, holidays etc, sorry i cant mention more then that as Ronaldinho will think im telling the whole world which quite frankly he does not really approve of as you can imgaine how much fans these International famours stars have %26amp; how it can become if one was to say they knowq him etc etc, so am not gonna give out more, but we must be the luckiest girls in the world lol, i know being slim, tall pretty makes life for us girls easier but Ronaldinho as our freind? wow still cant believe it, but im soooo happy, %26amp; again no he does not have a drink problem, he's such down to earth guy he can never any problems like this, am gonna chat to him in 6 hours when he comes online sometimes he's going to go to tour with his team Barcelona for his pre-seaon practice, traning %26amp; matches, sorry if am rambliing on its just that i feel like sharing my experiance of what am having, its sooo coooooool, anythjng thats it no morel lol, but he buys me all sorts of stuff, truly, got to go before i reveal more, lol byeeeee.
    who the hell is he? i'd never heard of him until earlier this week when he was matched up against kobe bryant on ESPNs 'whos now' segment.

    Is it true diet coke or diet pepsi is not good for your bones?

    My mother told me the other day to stop drinking so much diet coke and diet pepsi. I'm 21 years old. It is my favorite beverage and I drink diet coke's or diet pepsi's about once a day. I usually have three or four diet cokes or diet pepsi's once a day. My mom said it is not good for my bones. Is what my mom told me is it true? Is diet coke or diet pepsi bad for your bones?Is it true diet coke or diet pepsi is not good for your bones?
    Yes, but it isn't the caffeine, it's the carbon dioxide. Drink a few glasses of low-fat or non-fat milk a day instead, and maybe cut back to just one can of soda a day. Don't overdo it on the milk, though, as that can be bad for you as well. Usually a lot of any one thing isn't good for you.





    If you are lactose intolerant, then you can always try drinking soy-milk with vitamin D and calcium added.Is it true diet coke or diet pepsi is not good for your bones?
    No, it's not the carbon dioxide in the soda that's bad for our bones. We BREATHE carbon dioxide! It's phosphorus in soda that depletes the calcium in our bones.

    Is it true that Gainsville is a racist city and if so what parts should I stay away from?

    I only ask because I hear stories from other people and as you are aware of racism is something that still exist and will never go away. Also, because I'm from South Florida and it's very diversities. I could not image having to go through such an horrible ordeal like stories I hear all the time.Is it true that Gainsville is a racist city and if so what parts should I stay away from?
    You mean south Florida is very diversified... well, having lived there years ago Florida is a very racist state in the small towns still.... It may have changed since I was there...I have to say I love Florida...they say ';once you get the sand in your shoes you can't shake it out.';.Is it true that Gainsville is a racist city and if so what parts should I stay away from?

    Is it true that jogging is harmful in the long run?

    Despite its benefits, people and some doctors advise that since jogging has a tendecy to wear out joints, it should be avoided. Do you agree? Do you know anybody who actually suffered from joint problems after several years of jogging/running? Is it possible that such problems occur due to wrong way of jogging and can be avoided if one is cautious? Or is this unavoidable in the long run?Is it true that jogging is harmful in the long run?
    no excercise, especially jogging, brisk walking and cycling , is bad for health unless the person overdoes it. One must start excercising only under a good trainer and take guidance, as low long or for how distance can/should u run, hwhat should the durantion of excertice. The trainer will get the estimate of what/how long is to be done keeping the individuals health/body condtionIs it true that jogging is harmful in the long run?
    Too much is harmful
    yes,it is harmful.
    yes, my dad's joints was almost gone when the doctor advised him to cycle or swim. he likes to run. there's no wrong way or right way to jog.





    its only harmful if you jog too much.
    it is okay till u reach say 30/35. Then start other exercises.
    Long Run? Yes you should not run tooooo long.
    Not at all but there is an example for it like Orissa`s Bhutia.Government says he should not run.Befor he used to run for 40 KMs.

    Is it true about a Muslim conspiracy called ';creeping Sharia'; where Muslims are plotting to overthrow the US?

    Some neo-conservative politicians think so, people like Frank Gaffney and his ilk. What do you know about this?Is it true about a Muslim conspiracy called ';creeping Sharia'; where Muslims are plotting to overthrow the US?
    Nah that's just the same people who tried to sell us the Iraq war lies, all those dual citizen Israelis.Is it true about a Muslim conspiracy called ';creeping Sharia'; where Muslims are plotting to overthrow the US?
    It is true. The goal of Muslims in any country is to takeover that country and turn it into a Muslim state. They will wait generations for this to happen. They are much further along in their plan in Europe, as the cowardly liberal Socialists who control most European countries are appeasing these hostile Muslims. My prediction: Europe will be a Muslim continent before the end of this century.





    In Austria a member of parliament has been convicted for using hate speech, simply because she dared criticize Islam. Dutch MP Geert Wilders is now being prosecuted by Dutch authorities on similar charges. Here in America, critics of Islam are regularly smeared by Islamists and their apologists with epithets like “Islamophobe.” All of this and more is in response to Islamist demands that criticism of Islam be silenced and even punished.

    A former FBI special agent told law enforcement and Homeland Security personnel that a network of Islamic organizations are working to incrementally implement Islamic law in the United States.





    During a presentation at the Bedford County Emergency Management Agency, former FBI agent John Guandolo briefed members about groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, which he claims is working with other Islamic groups to slowly implement Shariah, also known as Islamic law, which encompasses all areas of life.

    First of all, Muslims aren't planning to take the world or whatever land they live in. Name one country they took over? It's going to be real hard b/c there arent any. It's the jews who took our land and stole the country. And, right now this isn't a war on terrorism, it's a war on Islam. Just look at the media. Media tells you what they want you to hear. I look at foreign news and it's totally differ. Oh and btw, everyone knows that 911 was a conspiracy.
    I know its happening in other parts of the world. Muslims are actively evangelising for their culture with a goal of converting the planet. There has been some evangelising in the US but mostly in prisons. I don't know how successful they could be with the US general population.
    Yeah because there is a well tended garden for them to be planting their seeds! When things hit rock bottom turn to Sharia to catch up w. the Chinese, who, er, didn't..


    Neo you say, sure they weren't bongo?
    Well, it seems to be working in Europe, why not here. They move in, then when they get a majority they screech for their sharia law system. Even Canada is putting up with this right now.
    Funny how Republicans hate for the media to be liberal when they say stuff like that

    Is it true that you burn more calories if you have longer hair?

    I have seen people gain weight when they get a hair cut after having long hair for a while. How much nutritions do hair take that go to our body otherwise?Is it true that you burn more calories if you have longer hair?
    There is no causal connection between hair length and body size. What you might be seeing is more of the optical illusion of what long hair HIDES and what shorter hair REVEALS. Shorter hair allows you to see a person's features since long hair tends to distract away from the face and guide the eyes elsewhere.Is it true that you burn more calories if you have longer hair?
    My mouth literally dropped open when I saw this question.





    No. Hair length has NOTHING to do with your weight.
    no i think its just coincidence that it happens like that. i have hair down to my butt and i need to work just as hard as anyone else to burn calories.
    Hair grows too slowly to have a measurable effect on metabolism. Also, only the roots of your hair are alive. The rest of the length from your scalp to the ends is not living tissue, so takes no calories to upkeep. Cutting or growing your hair will have no effect at all on your weight.
    don know


    when u are jogging the long hair creates increased wind resistance drag and forces increased muscle stress...leading to burning more calories.


    if u like more info on this stop by for a wind tunnel test
    Hair no matter what length grows at the same pace throughout your life, just a tad bit faster in winter though. I had long hair and then cut it short so I could have bangs and spike it in the back, the only weight I gained was from the inch or so left I had to grow. Hair is made from the same stuff fingernails are made out of Keratin, which is composed of Glycine and Alanine, amino acids.
    No it's not true and very silly. Did you make that up?
    Curious...No. Hair length has nothing to do with burning more calories.
    NO
    No. Hair is something that your body already designates nutrients for so having longer or shorter hair won't have any effect. Go ahead, shave your head bald. It won't hurt u, LOL!

    Is it true that all calico cats are female and all orange cats are male?

    Why aren't there other animals who have such weird correlation between color and gender?Is it true that all calico cats are female and all orange cats are male?
    I had a big orange tabby that was a female. She lived to be 23 years old. She was a great cat. The one and only cat I'll ever own. I'm a dog person, yet she was like a dog. Most orange tabbies are male, but some are female as well.





    There are some RARE situations where calicos can be males. It is if they have an extra Y gene. So their gene would be XXY instead of XX and a non calico. This is very rare. For the most part, you are correct, and calicos are female. This is a sex-linked genetic trait, that is why is only appears in females.Is it true that all calico cats are female and all orange cats are male?
    Colors in cats tend to be gender-led, though NOT all red cats (also known as orange, or ginger) are males (there are several decent Maine Coon cat breeders that specialize in the reds and have both genders). The 'Red Gene' needs to be in both parents for red FEMALE kittens to show up in a litter, and this Red Gene is needed for either calicos/torties or red/orange/ginger.





    Calicos/Tortoiseshells can be male, though this is rare, and the males tend to be sterile.
    Most calicos are female, and as one poster quoted...it's due to chromosomes. Calico is a mutation. Calico males are supposedly sterile. I myself have never seen a male calico, and I have a feral colony at work full of calicos.





    The orange cat theory is completely incorrect. While there probably are a greater percentage of orange males than females, I myself have an orange tabby female in the house, her mother was orange, my sister has an orange female, and I have seen countless numbers of them in the feral colony.
    ';Calico is a mix of orange, black, and white fur found on certain cats. Not all calico cats are female, but the vast majority are. Why? Like a lot of life's mysteries, it has to do with genetics.


    PetPlace.com gives a surprisingly detailed explanation. Half a cat's chromosomes come from the mother, and half come from the father. The gene that determines a cat's coloring is found on the X chromosome.





    Female cats have two X chromosomes, and each one can carry a different color. ';In calicos...one X has the black gene; the other X has the orange gene.'; At some point in the female cat's development, one X chromosome becomes inactive. The timing of this determines the amount of calico patches.





    So calico coloring isn't that uncommon among female cats. It's just a matter of the right chromosomal combination. In males, things are more complicated because they only have one X chromosome and ';it's never inactivated.';





    A male cat can be calico if it's created with ';two X chromosomes and a Y, allowing one X to be inactivated.'; This is a genetic defect known as XXY, and it's very rare. In fact, only one out of every 3,000 calicos is male.


    ';


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?鈥?/a>
    Male calicos and tortishells are very rare and when born they are sterile . Female oranges are less common than males. but not that rare, I don't think ( my shelter has had several lately). They are not sterile.





    I bet there are lots of other animals that have correlations between gender and color, but scientists study animals a lot less than you'd think ( no funding for it, so no one to pay the scientists to do that type of work). Did you know that no one really studies common woodland animals at all? . My son wanted to go into wildlife research and found there really is almost no such thing. Amazing, when you consider their impact on our environment.





    The world of feline genetics is complicated and bizarre, especially where color is concerned. White cats sometimes have a masking gene, which makes a black and white cat with it turn all white, and cats can also get vitiligo, and lose their color. I have a big red tom with this. He used to be solid dark red, but now half of one foot is very white. His color all over is fading, both fur and skin, so that the top half of his nose is now white and down near his lip it is still pink. He's developing a white lacy pattern on his tail. He also has two different lengths of long hair, with 6'; guard hairs ( so his arms look like an orangutan's). Plus his fur on his underside is curly, which isn't so uncommon, but it used to be on his head too, and his whiskers used to be so curly he chewed them off all the time. He's quite a smorgasbord of anomalies ! We never saw his relatives, because he came from an abuse situation, and was the only survivor ( when found the others were all taken to the pound and euthanized, but he slipped out of the box and was brought to the Humane Society). I've always been curious about what they looked like. Apparently he was one of a litter of 13, which is huge. He's super smart and loves water - always tries to flush the toilet, so unusual in that way too.
    No it's not true with the orange cats! It's most likely that they are a male though! I Had a female orange cat and known many others.


    but as for calico's it is very very VERY rare to find a male calico( I've seen one though)


    so there you have it it is not true that there is only female calico and only male orange cat its just rare to have the opposite!!!!! HOPE THAT HELPS!!
    A male calico or tortoiseshell cat is a mutation, XXY, and would be sterile. They are rare, but they do happen. As far as orange cats, they are predominately male, in a ratio of 3 or 4 to 1, but orange females are not all that rare, since 20-25% is not a small percentage.
    The color genes are only found on the X Chromosome, which leads to the calico/torie pattern (XX being female). Conversely there's nothing preventing a female from being orange, considering they have twice the chance of getting the orange gene.
    We have an orange cat and she is most definitely female.

    Umm...he's trying to freak you out. Everyones' hand is bigger than their face...
    Haha, no, that's not true.





    Its a trick people do. They tell you that if your hand is bigger than your face, you have cancer. You put your hand in front of your face, and they hit your hand, causing you to smack yourself in the face.
    Throw modern medicine out the window. This is a means of prognosis I can sink my teeth into!

    Is it true that if you watch movies like Paranormal Activity alone,you will get possessed by a demon?

    No, it is not true. Demons do not exist and are not real. Therefore they cannot possess anyone. They said the same thing about the Exorcist way back in the 1970's. By the way this question is better suited in the religious section.Is it true that if you watch movies like Paranormal Activity alone,you will get possessed by a demon?
    No dear. There is nothing like demons.So relax.You can try watching any horror movies online. For free online movies you can go to www.thefilmwall.com

    no, I watched it alone in the dark at about 11 pm and nothing happens, your sister is just yanking your chain most likely, you may get the chills or feel like your being watched but do not worry because you will be perfectly fine

    Is it true that you can download movies on your balckberry pearl?

    My friend told me that, i'm just wondering if it's true. Just if you need to know, she has t-mobile.Is it true that you can download movies on your balckberry pearl?
    Yes, you can hold short video clips on the blackberry pearl, and it does allow for playback on the phone itself, assuming they are in the proper format.

    Is it true you can catch pokemon from other versions on Pokemon Platinum?

    I bought the game 3 days ago because I was told that I could catch pokemon from other versions in the wild, but now I don't see anything different from the other version.





    Where do you find other pokemon are they after the pokemon league or what?Is it true you can catch pokemon from other versions on Pokemon Platinum?
    What do you mean? Like from your older games specifically or just other games in general? Like a growlithe or whatever? Well after the pokemon league there's this island place you can go to with a BUNCH of older pokemon, but you can get a lot of them just in the wild throughout the game O.OIs it true you can catch pokemon from other versions on Pokemon Platinum?
    You can catch many Pok茅mon in Platinum that are version exclusive in Diamond/Pearl, as seen in the chart on this page:

    Additionally, some legendary Pok茅mon not available in Diamond and Pearl are available in Platinum, but most are only available after obtaining the National Dex. You can see a list of the Pok茅mon available in Platinum that were not available in Diamond/Pearl on this page:

    You have to see all of the pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex at least once. After this happens, go talk to Professor Rowan. Professor Oak should come in and give you the National Dex. You can also get an item known as the ';poke-radar'; which allows you to find ';swarming'; pokemon in certain areas. When you use it in the grass, there's a chance that you may encounter a pokemon from one of the older games. Also, you can talk to a girl in Lucas's house once a day, and she'll tell you where certain pokemon can be found. She'll say something like ';route 212, it said there's a whole bunch of beldum there'; or something like that.
    When you have the national pokedex, go to the battle ground. To get there get on the boat in snow point city. There is tons of wild pokemon there such as raticate, weepinbell, pidgey, and in the volcano north of the battle ground, There is a lot of old fire types, and a legendary pokemon called heatran, level 50.

    Why can't some women tell the difference between true confidence, and a man who is simply loud and insecure?

    You see so many women who are running around with the guy who announces his presence in the room by belching, who wakes up everyone at three in the morning by cranking the pipes on his motorcycle, and who slaps the waitress on the backside at a 4-star restaurant.





    Men who act that way are deeply insecure, but there are a LOT of women who think those men are ';confident';.





    Why can't they tell the difference? Are they in denial?Why can't some women tell the difference between true confidence, and a man who is simply loud and insecure?
    I honestly think that some women think that they cannot do better than men like that. I myself, thank God have a very sweet, amazing husband who does none of those things, although I will not say he doesn't get on my nerves sometimes, but that comes with the package of marriage and relationships. Most women can tell the difference between obnoxiousness and confidence. It is not a curse of all women to marry/date redneck pond scum trailer trash, and that is meant in a complete over-all way, not a stereo-typical one. There are some men who just act like that, period. Some women are just..oddly enough attracted to that sort of thing, only God knows why, but they are plain and simple.Why can't some women tell the difference between true confidence, and a man who is simply loud and insecure?
    Ha thats me but I have come to recognise the difference with age... for me I have always been very shy and these sorts of guys will make the first move, keep the conversation flowing ect so it was easier for me to meet this sort of guy and took the attention off me and onto him which is good if your shy... but many times I have liked the nice guy but been to afraid to approach him... so I guess my lack of confidence matched theirs...
    More often than not, the one who is loud and insecure publicly demeans anyone who threatens his social position, as such the one who is truly confident finds himself relegated to a position of lesser attention because the one who is simply loud and insecure NEVER SHUTS UP.
    Not just in this situation, but throughout. Arrogance has become a confused synonym of confidence.





    And Pie, is it not that mothers have raised shallow daughters? I don't believe that, but it's the flip side of your remarks.
    women want attention.


    a truly confident man who only contemplates is never as appealing as an acting out insecure guy- for most women.


    cause women are just as insecure as the insecure guys they choose to like.
    Obviously our fathers did a very poor job of demonstrating to their sons what a man needs to be, and our mothers did a very poor job of raising boys into men.
    How many times are you going to ask this question?
