Stanima dog?

2009-08-03T02:30:00.001-07:00

Ok, i want to get a dog that has a lot of stanima. I like to roller blade A LOT and the michigan weather get sorta hot and humid in the summer and wet and cold in winter. Im worried about maybe a huskey getting over heated while roller blading. And a dog that would be able to SORT OF pull me. ( I DONT make the dog pull me all of the way, as i am a dog walker) I just want a dog that will be healthy and happy and not get over heated or too cold. What is the best choice?

Stanima dog?
your best bet would be to look at your local shelters. they have many husky mixes or any other type of breed that suits exactly what you are looking for. since you can provide a lot of exercise i'm sure they have tons of dogs looking for a home just like yours. as long as you can provide vet care and training as well. try www.petfinder.com

there are hundreds of young adult dogs who would love to come home with you and be your roller buddy!
Reply:dalmations were bred to run with the fire carriages, so they have a lot of stamina. it wouln't get too hot b/c it has a short coat. there are plenty of breeds that want and need lots of exercise. just do some research to find which breed is best for you. good luck
Reply:have u look at Austrailanshepard they are very active an will go all day an are very loving http://www.tkaustrailianshepards.com/
Reply:I'd suggest a standard sized Poodle. The big poodles, I've seen a poodle compete in the sport where the dog (s) pull a skier in the snow, so I'm sure it could pull you easily on skates, also these dogs are high in energy so you can expect the dog not to get tired soon. For summer months you could shave the dog and for winter months you can let the coat lengthen. Huskies are fine in almost any weather, you see Huskies living in Florida or California, even Arizona all year round with no problems even though it can become intense heat in those states. As long as you allow breaks and keep the dog fully hydrated you should have no problems with getting a Husky.

They were roller blading. And the guy was from California or something. He meets this chick and they go into a plant house. He goes skating around the place, and surprises her. The one guy is like a total goofball and tries to get a date. Umm..he surfs then he tries to roller blade.

Whats the t.v. show?

How to rollerblade without falling?

2009-08-03T02:29:00.002-07:00

are there any links to tell u how to roller blade withoguth falling? or keeping ur legs balanced? cause when i roller skate i can go but cant stop and soemtiems fall.. or i think its too big for me so it makes it go to the side and thats y i lose balance but still what are some tips and tricks on how to be better at it?

How to rollerblade without falling?
Well the only way you can rollerblade without falling 100% is getting used to the rollerblade which means you gotta practice. If i were you i would try rollerblading with someone to keep an eye on you. Eventually you will get the flow, and you will feel like a natural with skates. If i were u i would check the size of the blades 2. It might be too big for u.
Reply:Hold on to something
Reply:keep your knees bent and don't be so stiff, if that doesn't work, you could always get training wheels lol.
Reply:Make sure you bend you knees and shoulders so that if someone was to look on you from above, your shoulders, knees and toes would all be equal.

When you are trying to stop, try a T stop. Keep one foot heading forward. LIFT the other one, and then gently drag it along behind you . Your feet make a T shape.

Also make sure that your blades are done up correctly, if they are too lose they are no good. When rolling make sure your blades are upright, as in you're not skating with the wheels on a massive angle.

Should I do this and fall to purposely get hurt?

2009-08-03T02:29:00.001-07:00

I'm thinking about going roller blading right now. I love roller blading, I'm really good.

I don't know why, but I'm thinking about going to my middle school to roller blade around the parking lot...and purposely fall, to get a big scrape across my arm. No one's there because its late, so no one will see. I don't know why, but I want to do this. I think I will at least try.

Is there some psychological reason behind this?

Should I do this and fall to purposely get hurt?
Well, there could be a lot of motives you may have that you don't realize.

-Perhaps (and this could be totally wrong.. don't worry, I'll give more motives) you wish to do this so you can show off the scrape? It'd make you seem more dedicated and hard core-- could that be it?

-Maybe you want a scrape to prove yourself to yourself. Someone who would get scrapes from any activity (accidentally) is the type who is dedicated enough to go through pain to get better at it.

I'm thinking the second objective for you. It's like this: visualize someone who feels like they've been through a lot, but maybe really hasn't in the big scheme of things. Maybe they want the "chip on the shoulder" of having a tough life to feel like a better person- would you have a greater respect for a man who opened his own ice cream shop and grew up with loving parents, or someone who opened his own shop and grew up with parents who were abusive and threw him out? Most would say the second man, because (although he did the same thing that the other man did), his achievement seems harder to come by because of his hardships. Someone who imagines their life to be worse than it is could be aiming for that same respect- even if it just comes from within.

I think you are looking for the credibility of a person who is dedicated enough to fall and hurt themself while blading- just so, what you do, and how you work, and what your life is like makes you feel better for being you.

But you shouldn't do it! Think about this: you'll feel really good about who you are for you if you start to appreciate what you already do awesome in life and your own hardworking capabilities. You don't need a scrape to prove anything to anyone else- or just yourself.
Reply:I bet you're thinking along the same line that Steven Krane was when he wrote 'Red Badge of Courage'. Not sure of the spelling of Krane.

In "Red Badge.." the main character needs a wound to prove to himself he's the master of the battlefield. No matter that the wound he gets is from being slugged by one of his own army guys.

Anyway, it's a complex emotion.
Reply:Have you ever gotten in an accident like that and in return gotten a lot of attention later on? Maybe that’s what you’re seeking for; the love and attention you get from people when you’re hurt.
Reply:Hurting yourself on purpose would be a psychological problem. Either you don't feel pain properly, or have a strange idea of how to get attention... Neither are good.
Reply:Attention! -- Or you want to see if you still feel?

Or you want to see what its like to get hurt doing that?

My knees and my ankles hurt? =S?

2009-08-03T02:28:00.003-07:00

it started this week, and it's really annoying. When i go down stairs my ankles will have pain in them and my kneez ( for kneez a bit) Like i use to be able to run perfectly but all of sudden i realized that my kneez and ankles hurt when i ran ?? im 16 years old, 5ft 8". I weight about 180 pounds, but this is normal i could run just fine with the same weight. Like when i ran i felt the pain a little but it's when i try to stop when it hurts. Just today i was running and after that there was alot of pain in my kneez and ankles. i just wanna know if this is something serious, like the pain is bearable, it doesn't hurt like mad or anything. It's just annoying. O and when i roller blade like even when i roller blade really fast, i dont feel that pain as often. It's only when pressure is put on it that it hurts. Going down stairs ect. pls hellppp!!! i dont wanna give up soccer, baseball, track, and ice hockey =(

My knees and my ankles hurt? =S?
possible strain, or even developing stress fractures?

With all your exercise, do you wear properly fitted athletes shoes? Different ones for all your sports? If you are getting pain running, that would be the first thing ti look at.

Where do I honestly go from here?

2009-08-03T02:28:00.000-07:00

So i had a guy I was dating for 3 years. and its been about a year that we have not seen each other. And well today we met up so he can get his roller blades..he asked.. and when i saw him he had his new girlfriend with him. But the only thing he could talk about was our past or about how crazy and weird the relationship was with her. now i dont know what to think but he spent about twenty minutes with me till she came out of the car and walked over. thatn he came in to my work to get a drink. and still stayed in there to talk to me. now the one thing that was a little strange was that he kept asking me how my newer relationship was. so i felt the need to lie to him and say great, when really it sucks. what do i do.i still love him and cant let go. where do i go from here?

Where do I honestly go from here?
he wants to reconnect to you, if you really want to hook up with him, see how he fully feels, do more investigation. He might be generally just nice and trying to find common ground to talk to you.
Reply:Send him an email saying it was great to see him again. End with Keep in touch. See what happens.
Reply:Well he is with someone, so its selfish to hurt that girl, but it sounds like he hasnt gotten over you yet. you shouldnt lie, u have to be honest. women do big mistakes, lying and going around a story to fit the other persons needs or if that lady is insecure but seriously, your doing more damage, to you and to him, especially both of your relationship, so.... be honest .. go for lunch as friends , without his gf and talk about things, youll be surprised what he might say, it is being self confident about situations and learning to deal with them in a mature way.

Why does mom love my older bro so much more ?

2009-08-03T02:27:00.003-07:00

for his 18th birthday she bought him a 1962 corvette stingray. and gave me roller blades for my 18th birthday. his college tuitiion was paid for plus she got money for living expenses, i had to take out a $50000 loan. now for his 30th birthday she is building him a house at Hilton Head. She is now allowing me to stay at home for my last year of college as long as i pay rent ($350/month + 1/2 of utilities and gas for the car). i'm much darker than the rest of my family...perhaps i was adopted...i need to look into this..any suggestions ?

Why does mom love my older bro so much more ?
haha with the difference in skin tone sounds like you were probably just a mistake from the mailman!! She probably can't stand you and wishes you never were...! Dude like seriously i saw this stuff on CSI and they can find your real dad... forget your mom, steal her money and run w/ it!
Reply:Woah. Ask her. Confront her.

Honestly, I would have.

Use your examples.

"Mom, we need to talk." Sit her down. "I want to be treated fairly, I would appreciate it if you listened, to the whole thing"

Pause. "I think you are treating me and _your_bro's_name_ differently. I feel upset you are treating him better." Let your mom respond. "For his 18th birthday, you got him a car. I got roller blades." Pause "His colledge tuition was paid for, aswell as living expenses. Why was mine not? Why do I have to pay rent for living with you? Why for his 30th birthday you're getting him a house?" Let her respond. "I want to be treated fairly.." That's what I'd say.
Reply:How old are you??

You said building him a home at Hilton Head for his 30th

but you are allowed to stay home for your last year of college.

So you are still in college...just wondered if your life style may be something that she does not approve of..have you ever had a big disagreement with her that she may still be holding

over your head. Do you and your brother have similar personalities? I just have questions because wonder what could be the reason..Is she closer to him . Like he visit more or suck up ??? Got to be something we didn't hear.
Reply:talk to her....be open and honest, its all you can do.

explain to her how you feel, be calm and genuine, and if she reacts badly then....her loss

dont let her favouritism ruin your life, make the effort to straighten it out and if she doesnt respond, try and move on...i know its difficult and you've got a right to be upset but dont let it take over your life

good luck xox
Reply:i say bring it up with her. it sounds like extreme favoritism. she should know how it makes you feel. and i guess you can look into the adoption thing
Reply:My god your mum sounds like a *****. You should confront her about this before you do something that you regret.

Am I self absorbed?

2009-08-03T02:26:00.003-07:00

OK so heres the deal I've just moved to a much smaller place which is hard cause I'm maybe used to a little luxury, but I'm still intact with the real world, I'm gonna start a new school. Naturally I'm nervous, and the place which I'm going to has UNIFORM, and its fugly. I have a little bro and sis which are great, and I do try and help mum when I register she might need help. Me and dad dont have the best relationship, he called me fat once, it really hurt. Mum agrees but she'd never say it to my face. While unpacking I thought that if I find my old roller blades me and mum could go out around the park or something, be healthy.

I told her about my idea and she started snapping at me telling me I was so self absorbed 'all I ever think about is myself' . I dont think thats true, can you people please tell me if I'm self absorbed and what the hell my mum is thinking? (and please leave out the whole stupid teen part, its quite offensive)

thanks!

Am I self absorbed?
no not at all.. idk what your parents are thinking, but anyone going through problems is going to be upset and want to talk about it w/ other people. and its great your trying to help your parents. i know personally with my dad too, he always thinks hes right, saying this and that, but he doesn;t understand at all. you have to be right there and go through exactly what your going through to understand. im sorry i hope everything gets better, but your deff not self absorbed!
Reply:Your mom might be stressed from the moving. But that doesn't give her an excuse. You aren't self absorbed at all for wanting to spend time with her. Give her some space then when things get less busy, talk to her about it and tell her she hurt your feelings
Reply:You're mom might just be stressed from the move and having to put you kids into different schools. Try sitting down with her and asking her if everything's ok, and just let her know you were only wanting to spend some quality time with her amid all the chaos you all have been going through lately.

Why are Segways so expensive?

2009-08-03T02:26:00.002-07:00

They cost an arm and leg

almost 3,000 for a used one! And 5,000 for a new one.

Honestly what is their purpose and why alienate the majority of the buyer's market to appeal to wealthier people?

I'd rather buy a very expensive skateboard set, a pair of roller blades, a pro mountain bike and even a used civic instead of those overpriced pieces of crap.

If you own a segway please give me 5 valid reasons to their purpose in society.

2009-08-03T02:26:00.001-07:00

I'm 5 ft 150 lbs but I hate working out on machines it's not fun!! I like to rollerblade, jump on my pogostick, ride my bike and take my dogs for a walk (all 3, with my mom) is this as good as exercising on a treadmill? I live in PA, and let's just say last weekend (Saturday) it SNOWED. Yeah...Pa is still cold. It's around 46-50 or something degrees here. So is it ok to go outside to exercise on my bike, roller blades, pogo stick...? Thanks and if I do one of those every day (well almost every day) will I lose weight thanksss

BTW I eat healthy

I want to be healthy but....?
riding your bike and stuff is just as good as working on a machine. on a machine its just a more constant work out. theres not point in wasting your time on one if your not having fun though. worrying about that kinda stuff just kinda ruins ur day though. enjoy yourself what ever your doing. if you worked out alllll the time and constantly worried about it sure you would be healthy but whats the point of having a healthy body if you cant enjoy it.
Reply:All of those are great exercises, and they'll help you burn off calories very well. Just eat healthy, and cut down on any red meats. Animal fat is the worst thing when you try to lose weight. It's why vegetarians always seem to be healthier.

Is there a difference between men's and women's skates?

2009-08-03T02:25:00.002-07:00

Is there a difference between men's and women's in-line skates? I was looking at roller blades, but I want to buy the ones that will fit my feet the best.

Is there a difference between men's and women's skates?
There is a difference in sizing, but the best way to find skates that fit you (no matter what type of skates you are buying) is to try them on. When buying roller blades/in-lines specifically, just make sure that your ankles don't bend inward. You should be able to EASILY stand straight up with your ankles and knees directly over your skates. If they are too big, you can cause yourself some SERIOUS ankle problems! Not to mention that skates that are too big will cause blisters (from the friction of your feet moving inside the boot)!

GOOD LUCK!
Reply:men and womens skates have totally diffent sizes.

mens skates are wider and spacious

womens skates are tighter and have a smaller size.

Does anyone know of this cartoon?

2009-08-03T02:25:00.001-07:00

Ok I remember there was this 2d cartoon in the 90s where the main character was a boy with a team of robots that fought a team of evil robots. Each robot was different there was one that was a ninja, one on roller blades etc. And they rode around in these huge vehicles. Also I think it was integrated with 3D portions where they would say "Time to put on your 3D shades" and you could watch the action sequences in 3D.

I hope I'm not just imagining this... Anyone know what it was called?

Ceaser Milon?

2009-08-03T02:25:00.000-07:00

My brother watches dog whisperer and all of a sudden he thinks he knows more about dogs than I do. Who pleaded to get a dog for monthes? Me! Who did research on Google for three hours a day? Me! Who looked up the best breeds of dogs? Me1 Me! Me! ME! He also makes up common scense rules. My parents don't do anything, so what do I do? I keep my feelings bottled up which I know is not healthy. How do I tell my brother that I know more about dogs than him? How do I tell him ceaser (salad) only helps the owners to show the owners how to teach their dog new tricks?Added note- Ceaser's roller blades are weird!

Ceaser Milon?
Here's my analogy of Cesar Milan.

A few years back the Atkins Diet craze hit. Many jumped on the bandwagon and got temporary results. Meanwhile, nutritionists stood by and shook their heads - knowing that this was INSANE.

Same thing with Cesar Milan. He has no education or credentials. Anyone with any actual knowledge of dog behavior knows he's a hack. His methods may work temporarily, but in the long run - all you do by training a dog that way is create a ticking time bomb.

Glad to hear that most of you are seeing this guy for what he really is.
Reply:Yes, his methods are old and generally ineffective. Also, none of the dogs on the show seem to like him, which amuses me since he is apparently the "Dog Whisperer." He doesn't even have a graduate level education, which obviously shows through his methods. He is not technically a dog behaviorist or psychologist (he would need a master's or doctorate for that). Rather, he is a dog trainer that got his own tv show and seems to make the pet psychology field look ridiculous.
Reply:first of all i think the dog whisperer is a load of bull b/c the same friggin thing happened to me. i've been workin my but off @ a pet store since my parents opened it. i learned ligitamate ways on how to train your pet and what chemicals work and what doesn't and my grandparents started watching that stupid show and know they think they know the best way to train my dog. The "dog whisperer" does have some good, proven ways of training but also aloyt of them are just crackpot things that he films when it works and doesn't film when it doesn't work.

that bitter apple spray incident, that stuff does wirk, if you use it the way your supposed to, and your deffinately not supposed to spray it on there face, tell your genious brother to read the back label! but finding a way to prove to your brother that he's kind of an idiot, just let him read all of your responses to your question!

have fun proving him wrong
Reply:tell him to research Cesar, that he IS being sued for a dog that was injured on his premisis (he was not there, but staff used the treadmill, the dog now has 20000 worth of damage, and the owner is only suing for vet costs!)

he gets bitten, OFTEN. They don't show all of the cases on the show.

MOST dog behaviorists think that his ways are bad, they were used 20+ years ago.

There is a group here on yahoo. dogbehaviourscience look it up, then start reading about Ceasar. But don't ask about him, its been gone over a billion times, just look in past postings!

I could go on with this, but tell your brother to read the disclaimer at the beginning of the "Dog Whisperer".
Reply:Ceasar Milan is a hack, and his methods are abusive. If your brother thinks he knows everything about dogs because he learned it from Ceasar, he is wrong. You could do better by going to Pet Smart and buying a book than by taking advice from Ceaser Milan.

Note: If anyone ever sprayed chemicals in my dog's face for any reason other than self-defense, they would leave on a stretcher.
Reply:You seem to have more of an issue with your brother than with Ceaser. Your brother is just being a brother....a pain in the butt....that is what they are for. Yes, it is annoying when they are being show off, know it alls. Think of it this you will have the last laugh. Don't keep you feelings bottled up either......punching bags are a good way to release anger. By no means does this mean that you are to string your darling brother up by his neck and punch him!

I have heard what Ceaser has said, I have seen a part of his show once. I saw more than I needed or wanted to. I didn't agree with what he was doing, in fact many years ago (long before he was on TV), I tried exactly what he was showing on TV and it failed....in fact that was the point I turned off the show. From what I understand Ceaser has a good personality and he is a very charming man, therefore good TV. If he stops only ONE person from beating on a dog that is a good thing.

I have met several people who watch the show, some have never even owned a dog.....but they are now expert dog trainers.

WELCOME to the world of dogs!!! This is how is it. You take everything with a grain of salt. You learn to smile.

As far as that Bitter Apple goes. Product end use is not spraying it in someone's face it is meant to be spray on something. I believe you all ready pointed that out. Don't do it. I do not personally believe in spraying anything in a dog's face to stop a behavior. But that's me. If you feel the need to do this, plain water would to the trick. Throw the stuff out or instruct your brother to use only as directed on the label.

Maybe you can try to get your brother interested in those home repair or car repair shows. Then he maybe just start being master carpenter or mechanic and stop being a dog trainer.
Reply:the main thing about the Dog Whisperer is that he is teaching people you don't have to beat, choke, stave, or kick a dog to teach it. The Dog Whisperer sees dogs under almost crisis situations. AND do you think they will televise any of his mistakes or dogs his methods don't help?

I think he is great! BUT! The Dog Whisperer does not give the dogs enough credit for intelligence. He purely views them as animals. I have one dog who is so smart I can take him anyplace with out preparation. He has not been trained. He is just very intelligent. He really understand about 60 words, not commands. He even talks back with snorts. ( all he really wants to talk about is food though)

The Dog Whisperer is good. You should recognize that and adopt some of his methods But dogs are like people, all different. Your brother should recog nise the The dog Whisper is after all a TV program. NOt total reality.

MY GOD that is abuse!! REAd the directions they say not to spray on th edog!!!! BAth your dog quick! The poor thing! Tell your parents!!! And he does not spray his dogs in the face with anything!!!! TEll your parents we will poison your dog!!!! Of blind him!

Look kid if this is how you rbrother is you need to find a good home fo that poor dog. Find him a place where he is not abused. If I lived near you I woul report him to the Humane Society! If you rparents are allowing him to torture this poor dog they need reported to childrens services. Any child who tortures animals is very ill. Your brother needs help! And if you rparents don't get i tof rhim they need reproted to the proper authorities!
Reply:Just say "just because you watched the dog whisperer you don't have to pretend you can talk to them to. What do you really beleive in that stuff you loser"
Reply:Caesar has several good methods, however I do not agree with all of his methods. I do not feel holding a dog on the floor is right, that's just being a bully. I have used the 5 finger touch to redirect my dogs attention or to let him know I disapprove (as a pack leader or momma dog would do). Most of his methods are to show people you don't need to beat your dog to make him listen.

I know they don't show failed cases, but I have seen him tame the beast in many dogs.... of course they don't show you everything they had to go through to get the dog that far.

My father-in-law bought his book "Ceasar's Way", and yes, I've read it.

I've never heard him say, seen him use nor did I read it in his book anything about spraying a dog in the face with bitter apple. He doesn't use any chemical deterants, he uses "redirect". If the dog is chewing something they aren't supposed to, he redirects to something they are allowed to chew.

As far as his roller blades, yeah they do look a little weird. I rollerblade with my doberman every morning, and it helps expell energy and is great exercise.
Reply:Cesar Millan. Don't blame your brothers stupidity on Cesar. I was lucky enough to get Cesars help with a problem my dog had.Cesar is a very cool guy and knows his SH!T.He does not spray bitter apple on barking dogs, his methods are totally different than that. He would find out why the dog is barking I.E. aggression ,anxiety ,fear etc. and work on the issue more specifically.Bitter apple is to be sprayed on items to prevent chewing, not to be used as a weapon.More to point you and your brother need to be on the same page as far as how you train your dog, two different people and two different approaches will most likely make your dog 'Crazy'. Really put your dfferences aside for the sake of your dog. I suggest joining a group obeidience class together so you both learn and teach in similar ways.I also highly reccommend you watch the Dog Whisperer. Cesars methods do work and quite well. As far as the Law suit, it has nothing to do with his methods. He was exercising a dog that was very out of shape and had a hidden heart defect and had a heart attack,no one felt worse than Cesar..
Reply:Does it really matter who knows more about dogs? Caesar does not only teach dogs new tricks. He also helps dogs who have behavioral problems. If you really feel that way just tell him, or you could be the bigger person and just let him think that he does.

P.S. Was the "Added note" really necessary?

Facts of Life .................................

2009-08-03T02:24:00.001-07:00

If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

A 3-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. (It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20X20 foot room.)

You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh", it's already too late.

Brake fluid mixed with bleach makes smoke, and lots of it.

Historic Ice Hockey Stage show?

2009-08-03T02:23:00.002-07:00

I heard of a high school or university drama club putting on an original show about a small town hockey team winning a big championship. The show included re-enactments of crucial plays during the game (the actors wore roller blades and recreated the game situations on stage). Has anyone ever heard of such a show? What was the name of the production? Where was this show done? What was the team portrayed? I saw this on CBC out of Canada .

Dear santa.......funny??!!?

2009-08-03T02:23:00.000-07:00

Dear Santa,

You must be surprised that I'm writing to you today, the 26th of December.

Well, I would very much like to clear up certain things that have occurred since the beginning of the month.

When filled with illusion, I wrote you my letter. I asked for a bicycle, and electric train set, a pair of roller blades, and a football uniform. I destroyed my brain studying the whole year. Not only was I the first in my class, but I had the best grades in the whole school.

I'm not going to lie to you, there was no one in my entire neighbourhood that behaved better than me, with my parents, my brothers, my friends, and with my neighbours.

I would go on errands, and even help the elderly cross the street.

There was virtually nothing within reach that I would not do for humanity.

So what balls you have leaving me a poxy yoyo, a lame whistle and a pair of ugly f**king socks. What the f**k were you thinking, you fat pr*ck, to think you've taken me for a sucker the whole f**king year and to come out with some s**t like this under the tree.

And as if you hadn't f**ked me over enough, you gave that little w**ker across the street so many toys that he can't even close his front f**king door.

So don't let me see you trying to fit your big fat asss down my chimney next year.

I'll f**k you up mother f**ker. I'll throw rocks at you retard reindeer and scare them away so you'll have to walk back to the f**king North Pole, just like what I have to do now since you didn't get me that f**king bike.

F**K YOU SANTA.

Lots of love,

Little Johnny

I need your best advice!?

2009-08-03T02:22:00.003-07:00

Ok so theres this dorky kid who lives down the street and my brother is having a lot of trouble! His name is Brenton and my brother tries to be nice but all brenton does is steal stuff from him! My brother came in and hes like "Brenton probly stole a game (from his gamecube) and we checked madden '07 wasnt there we checked everywhere for it! Im very ...pis$ed at Brenton all he does is be mean and rude! list of things he does

1) Steals

2) Kicks people with roller blades

3) swears

4) cheats

5) shoves

and a lot more.... i think u got the point!

I think we need to call the athorites with this kid! HELP MY BROTHER!!

I need your best advice!?
if that were my brother, i would be straightfoward wit the little b@$t@rd. i would say; look kid, your really mean to my brother all the time and all he is is nice to you, but next time you steal anything of ours, we wont be so nice next time." and then if his parents ask you about it or something just say " well your child is bulling my little brother and i told himi to stop" or if you dont want to come in conatact with the family leave an anonymous letter on their doorstep at night saying what he does addressed to the parents.

these ideas are reasonable but i would kick the little b@$t@rd myself. oh and also go to the parents and ask for your game back, otherwise ask them to buy you a new one.
Reply:If you can prove he stole tell your parents if not than get evidence of his behavior and takeit to your parents so they can have a sitdown meeting with the offending twerps mother and father.
Reply:Tell your parents and your parents will take them to his parents. Or if this doesn't work do what he does and see how he feels like. If he does that at school he can get suspended. Or stop being friends with him.
Reply:Its only a matter of time before your brother is beat up,talked into doing something stupid with this kid.Get rid of him,talking to parents is cool,but often you find their just as foolish as their kids
Reply:You need to talk to your parents and see what they can do for you. They can go to Brenton's parents to see what is up. If the problem persists or gets worse, go to bigger authorities like the police. If he is stealing stuff from you, that is theft, which is a CRIME! good luck!
Reply:maybe hes trying 2 fit in but he doesnt know how to do it!
Reply:I guess Brenton`s parents will be no help, so you will have to keep him at a distance, til he is no longer a friend.
Reply:eat him!

or u could just tell him off and tell his parents and ur parents
Reply:Well, certainly sounds like Brenton is a problem.....I would suggest you talk to your parents first about all the things Brenton has done. Then ask your parents to go with you to Brentons house, to talk to his parents about his behavior. Bear in mind if he has been provoked, you and your brother will have to own up at that point and get the air cleared. See if his parents will check his room for the items stolen, and let them know you didn't trade those items, or give him the stuff. My son had thiefs for friends sometimes, and I did the very thing I am suggesting. It does work and we retrieved many items. Good Luck.......remember.....his parents may not know what he is doing....you can stop him....and this helps his parents know more about him.
Reply:Leave this dude alone.
Reply:have your parents talk to his parents and don't associate with him any more, the kid has serious issues and young people don't need that stress in their relationships.
Reply:Duct tape him to a wall.
Reply:brenton, brenton, brenton....you won't need to do much, it looks like. you could tell his mom or put him in a box and let all the kids throw rocks at him. pay no attention to the screaming! bet you are going to see him starring on juvie.com in the next couple of months.
Reply:Tell him (Brenton) that he is no longer welcomed on your property. You'd like to be his friend but he is preventing that from happening.
Reply:Give him a wedgie...lol
Reply:i'd tell on him but do it so he won't know its u and try to move away but if those don't work call da cops.....

Reply:I hate to point out the obvious, but if you need the best possible advice, you've come to the wrong place.
Reply:WOULD BRENTON PLEASE REPORT TO THE POLICE I REPEAT WOULD BRENTON PLEASE REPORT TO THE POLICE!!! what a flippin STUPID kid. u whip his *** casey!!!
Reply:talk to his parents!
Reply:contact the parents.

fightin is the worst answer, first tell ur parents, who will talk to Brenton's parents.

i dont think the authorities are needed, but get in touch with a guidance counselor at school, and his parents.
Reply:Just stop you're brother from hanging out with him.

Have your parents talk with his parents.

Do you remember back in the 90s,80s,70s or whatever decade you wish to remember, wanting something because it was "cool." For example in the 90s, everyone wanted a scooter or roller blades. Earlier this century, everyone wanted the livestrong bracelets. And now its i-pods it seems. Our past has shown that these things are not important.

Name a "must-have" item from your favorite decade.?
Well, first let me say, all the "must -haves" that I wanted, I never got. And I still survived. My teen years were all spent in the seventies... in high school, I remember wanting a pair of Thom McAnn (sp?) lace-up granny boots. I saw them on other folks. I saw them in my favorite magazine (Seventeen), and I really, really, really wanted some for myself. Whenever I saw them at the mall, they were just way too expensive. Eventually, they went out of style, and I went off to college.. and eventually got into my 40's, and never did get those boots.

I had a nice pair of Roots Earth shoes, though. :-)

I envied my friends who could afford record albums, too. I never could afford records, but I did invest in a tiny transistor radio and enjoyed it most immensely.

"Teenager's Complaints

My son came home from school one day,

With a smirk upon his face.

He decided he was smart enough,

to put me in my place.

'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,

that's taught by Mr. Wright?

It's all about the laws today,

The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,

don't have to cut my hair

No one can tell me what to think,

or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,

and regardless what you say,

I don't have to bow my head,

and I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,

and pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.

I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,

get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,

I'll charge you with a crime.

I'll back up all my charges,

with the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,

my body's only for my use,

not for your hugs and kisses,

that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,

like your Mama did to you.

That's nothing more than mind control,

And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,

so you can't influence me,

or I'll call Children's Services Division,

better known

as 'C.S.D.'

Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was

to toss him out the door.

But the chance to teach him a lesson

made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,

I couldn't let this go.

A smile crept upon my face,

he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping

at the local Goodwill Store..

I told him, 'Pick out all you want,

there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D .

who said they didn't care

if I bought you K-Mart shoes

instead of Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment

to take your driver's test.

The C.S.D. is unconcerned

so I'll decide what's best.'

I said 'No time to stop and eat,

or pick up stuff to munch.

And tomorrow you can start to learn

to make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,

and wait till dinner time.

We're having liver and onions,

a favorite dish of mine.'

He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,

to watch on my VCR?'

'Sorry, but I sold your TV,

for new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,

you'll take the couch instead.

The C.S.D. requires

just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,

I'll choose what we eat.

That allowance that you used to get,

will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,

dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.

Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',

It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,

Why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out,

instead of C.S.D..?'

Who wants to share this with me?!?
Some people just can't take a joke can they? Boo hiss to them!

Yes it comes as a shock to the kids when they realise that all the stuff mum used to do for them without question, they now have to do for themselves. When my daughter left college and got a job was aghast when I refused to give her pocket money as usual and when I said I was kind of expecting some money off her now I was the worst mother in the world!

I dunno. I coughed up my board to my parents every week without fail and I was still expected to do chores etc. Wouldn't have it any other way. It's only fair. My daughter realises now just how expensive it is to run a home as she has her own home now and her attitude is exactly the opposite of what it was. Do we do too much for our kids these days? Think we might.......

I'm glad you grew up in a family that supported you, but some kids don't have that luxury. Your parents worked hard to give you what you have.

Don't be so judgemental of others. especially if your going to be a journalist. You must be Objective in your reporting. not bias. Tell the truth, but do not put your slant on it. just report what the event was.

As for the Poem by MOM

I thought it was splendid.

When you show them what it would be like out in the Big Bad World on their own, they sing a very different tune. Nothing wrong with taking away the comforts as a punishment. After all that is the only recourse the courts and Liberal Congress have allowed us as parents. Everything else is considered child abuse.
Reply:That's true, to me it imply's this generation doesn't think twice.
Reply:To answer your putative question:

No, I would not like to share this with you.

As a *gasp* teenager, I realize that I'm not exactly the target demographic for this, but seeing as you don't seem to have attracted a plethora of responses, I figured I'd chime in.

First, I thought I'd respond to your statement that this piece is considered "newsworthy."

I'm currently in journalism school, and I've learned in my classes that there are several characteristics that make up the quality of newsworthiness:

Very obviously, I would think, for something to be considered newsworthy, it must be news. This is not news, as it does not actually relate any event. It's just an arguably cute poem (other arguments may include "nauseatingly awful").

Another important quality for newsworthiness is timeliness - that is, a story should be current and relevant. As

a) Parents have been complaining about their children since the Ancient Greeeks

and

b) This poem mentions "VCR"s, which are no longer commonly in use

I have to conclude that this standard is not met either.

So, let's conclude that this is not exactly a piece of newsworthy, hard-hitting journalism, shall we?

Now, to the actual points that are being presented. First of all, many of them do not seem to be to be particularly radical. Hitting someone who is smaller, weaker, and unable to fight back constitutes child abuse. I don't know anyone who thinks that spanking a teenager is acceptable. Forcing physical affection on someone who does not want it constitutes sexual abuse.

By the time your children are teenagers, they have the right to form their own political, moral, and religious opinions, and to choose how they wish to behave in these arenas. If you've failed to convince them that your ideas are right, perhaps you're not a particularly effective teacher.

Children do indeed have freedom of speech. They are not excluded from the Bill of Rights on the basis of their age. As for the idea that children should be allowed to have their own THOUGHTS - that someone would think that is unacceptable is horrifying. Parents are supposed to be guides, not dictators, and the American ideal of freedom and independence should begin in the home.

Of course it is a parent's right to discipline a child by taking away privileges. However, I find the idea of a parent purposely spiting a child in a childish attempt to exact revenge for his or her declaring some measure of independence revolting, rather than amusing. I can't imagine what sort of mother would take smug pleasure from reducing her teenage son to tears.

To top it off, the poem is not exactly a masterpiece. If your message is that weak, you should at least stick to a rhyme scheme. Possibly, the writer's teenage son really was smart enough to put her in her place.

Sorry to rant for so long, but treacly tripe like this touches a nerve in me. I'll end with a positive thought and thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to have parents who respect and appreciate me, and who have treated me so that I respect and appreciate them. They are truly a source of inspiration for me and two of my best friends - and I'm glad that my mother is nothing like the one portrayed in this poem.

To end with a few apropos quotes:

"Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me." - Anna Quindlen

" Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them,

but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children

as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

and He bends you with His might

that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,

so He loves also the bow that is stable."

-Kahlil Gibran

Poem to MOM

My son came home from school one day,

With a smirk upon his face.

He decided he was smart enough,

To put me in my place.

"Guess what I learned in Civics Two,

that's taught by Mr. Wright?

It's all about the laws today,

The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,

Don't have to cut my hair

No one can tell me what to think,

Or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,

And regardless what you say,

I don't have to bow my head,

And I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,

And pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.

I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,

Get tattoos from head to toe.

A nd if you ever spank me,

I'll charge you with a crime.

I'll back up all my charges,

With the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,

My body's only for my use,

Not for your hugs and kisses,

that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,

Like your Mama did to you.

That's nothing more than mind control,

And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,

So you can't influence me,

Or I'll call Children's Services Division,

Better known as C.S.D."

Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was

To toss him out the door.

But the chanc e to teach him a lesson

Made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,

I couldn't let this go.

A smile crept upon my face,

he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping

At the local Goodwill Store..

I told him, "Pick out all you want,

there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D .

Who said they didn't care

If I bought you K-Mart shoes

Instead of those Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment

To take your driver's test.

The C.S.D. Is unconcerned

So I'll decide what's best. "

I said "No time to stop and eat,

Or pick up stuff to munch.

And tomorrow you can start to learn

To make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,

And wait till dinner time.

We're having liver and onions,

A favorite dish of mine."

He asked "Can I please rent a movie,

To watch on my VCR?"

"Sorry, but I sold your TV,

For new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,

You'll take the couch instead.

The C .S.D. Requires

Just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,

I'll choose what we eat.

That allowance that you used to get,

Will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,

Dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.

Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',

It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,

Why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out,

Instead of C.S.D..?"

ok i am 19 and i was wondering i started a job last monday it was a ford dearlship as a porter i was makeing 8.00 per hour i never had a job like this i was always running i needed roller blades to keep up with this job did i do the right thing by qucking i did that today

Job change?
What? Can you use spell check? I would like to help but I dont understand the question
Reply:Although the job turned out to be something that is not for you, you should always give a notice before quitting. You will need these employers as references in the future. Never burn any bridges behind you when you leave a job.
Reply:Different people are cut out for different types of jobs, so if you quit, you simply felt like it wasn't working out for you, which is the best thing to do instead of sticking to a job you hate. Good luck to you!

What's the point in wearing heelys? Do they skate like regular skates?

2009-08-03T02:21:00.000-07:00

Do kids and adults wear them or just kids? Can you skate fast like roller blades? Are they fun? I'm 30 am I to old for heelys?

What's the point in wearing heelys? Do they skate like regular skates?
i personally think they are annoying. i don't think i have seen adults wearing them, and you can't skate that fast (most stores and malls don't allow kids to use them inside) and yes i think your a bit too old.
Reply:I don't think any one's too old for heelys, if they make them in adult sizes, then anyone can get them. You can skate fast or slow, it depends on if the the wheel is abec 1, 3, 5, or 7. The higher the number, the faster they go. They're a BLAST.
Reply:I'm 33 and I would love to wear them if I found a pair. They're not as fast as regular skates because you only have a single wheel on each heel. But the cool thing about Heelys is that you can skate when you want and walk otherwise.
Reply:Heelys are mostly geared towards kids. Basically it's a shoe with 1 wheel in the heel so you have to use your heels to skate. I don't think they're as fast as roller blades and I think you might be too old for them.
Reply:well i got heeleys i never got to get used to them. no they do not skate like regulare skates

Subject: Fw: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SON'S

Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2006 18:27:03 +0000

For people who have sons…

And you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like

1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room. !

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4 year old Boy.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject "PB %26amp; J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

80% of ! Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

This is what makes America great! If you want to see the pictures with this e-mail me at wrwoodall@yahoo.com?
rofl....those are so funny...it's amazing what you learn being a parent!

Here are a few things I've learned having girls:

1. Changing a girl can require more finesse than changing a boy.

2. Safety scissors WILL cut hair.

3. There are approximately 1,743 common household objects that will fit in the human ear.

4. Most of those take a doctor and two nurses 4 hours to remove.

5. Toddlers love to finger paint and given a full diaper will gladly paint you a mural.

6. All humans are born with the natural instinct to dump a bowl of spaghetti on their heads.

7. Taking a 3 and 5 year old to Toys-R-Us can burn more calories than a Marine Corps PRT.

8. When taking a child to the home improvement store never lose site of them, especially in the plumbing department near display toilets.

9. Angel fish do not like Doritos.

10. A dog is indispensible for accidental food spills and baby clean-up.

11. Little girls can get little boys to play the dumbest games....this ability only improves with age.

12. A child who is awake and quiet is up to no good.

13. Beanie babies do not flush well.

14. Never accept anything edible from a child.

15. A crayon is not a suitable pickle substitute on a sandwich.

16. Nor is shaving cream a suitable sundae topping.

17. TV remotes rarely work after being submerged in the aquarium.

18. At the age of puberty you suddenly see the nice little boy down the street for the son of satan he really is.

19. In fact just keep him home until he has graduated from the seminary and has been ordained.
Reply:omg uer soo weird just to spite u im not gonna pass it on loser moron weirdo.
Reply:I guess I was lucky because My 2 boys didn't do this stuff. My nephew hid in the dryer once and my son turned it on for a sec and scared them both...and me! It was louder than tennis shoes going clunk-de-clunk,especially when he started screaming!! Most of the time my boys took apart every electronic device they had! One is an electrician and the other is a tech with machinery,computers,lasers,etc. So I guess their self-education at home paid off!

Children's Bill of Rights

My teenage son came home from school one day,

He had with him a smirk upon his face.

He had decided he was smart enough,

And just knew he could put me in my place.

Guess what I learned in Civics Two,

Oh, just save your raging appetite,

Also your dirt bike %26amp; roller blades.

Check out the "Parents Bill of Rights,"

It is still in effect today!

Hey hot shot are you crying,

And why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out?

Instead of going to C.S.D..?"

I just got rollerblades and I'm ok but how do you stop when you are going down a hill at SUPER fast speed?

2009-08-03T02:19:00.003-07:00

I have been rollerblading forever but just took a bit of a break, so I know how to do pretty much everything. The problem is 1. these are new roller blades and I'm not use to them and 2. I have never skated on hills before so i don't know how to stop on them when I'm going really fast.

I just got rollerblades and I'm ok but how do you stop when you are going down a hill at SUPER fast speed?
I don't know much about blades, but I have skated down hills on quads. My recommendation is not to let yourself get up to a "super fast speed." We would always just weave back and forth to keep ourselves from going to fast. Of course, if your goal is to go fast, I'm afraid that I cannot help - just take the advice in James J's post and PRAY! :)
Reply:You PRAY....

2009-08-03T02:19:00.002-07:00

They opened an amusement place for the summer some way off. I went there and they had little boats to ride on inflatable boats with motors, and I wanted to have one, too! They usually have an adult and a child per boat, parents with children.

So, they sold me two tokens - I wanted double time - but looked at me as if to ask "Why are you here, it is a thing for children"?

And it's not only there, it's everywhere. One must be a child to have fun, if one is an adult, one must have fun in a bar or something.

It's the same if you try to rent roller blades or a bike, and with toys. We once had a toy, a dragonfly on batteries, with remote, and it was such fun! But adults had to pretend that it was below them to enjoy it.

Why adult are discriminated against and can't amuse themselves?

Why does the society discriminate against adults?
Some people think adults are irresponsible if they are "acting like kids" and wanting to play with toys. I think it's because they never have any fun on their own, and society teaches us that "toys are for kids," and "grownups should work all the time and be 'responsible.'" That's all I can think of.
Reply:That's because they only a few of them. If they had

sufficient then they would smile and let you have it.
Reply:We are supposed to be off doing more important things I guess? It's bunk. I think we should have more fun. I think we would be more productive and happier as a result. Let's start a movement. Let's create something for adults to have fun. I am so open to doing something.

To All Parents having problems with their Kids.?

2009-08-03T02:19:00.000-07:00

Don't Mess With Mom

My son came home from school one day,

with a smirk upon his face.

He decided he was smart enough,

to put me in my place.

"Guess what I learned in Civics Two,

that's taught by Mr. Wright?

It's all about the laws today,

The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,

don't have to cut my hair.

No one can tell me what to think,

or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,

and regardless what you say,

I don't have to bow my head,

and I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,

and pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.

I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,

ge tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,

I'll charge you with a crime.

I'll back up all my charges,

with the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,

my body's only for my use,

not for your hugs and kisses,that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,

like your Mama did to you.

That's nothing more than mind control,

and it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,

so you can't influence me,

or I'll call Children's Services Division,

better known as CSD."

Of course my first instinct was

to toss him out the door.

But the chance to teach him a lesson

made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,

I couldn't let this go.

A smile crept upon my face,

he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping

at the local Goodwill Store.

I told him, "Pick out aal you want,

there's shirts and pants galore.

I've called and checked with CSD

who said they didn't care

if I bought you K-Mart shoes

instead of Nike Airs.

I've cancelled that appointment

to take your drivers test.

The CSD is unconcered

so I'll decide what's best."

I said "No time to stop and eat,

or pick up stuff to munch.

And tomorrow you can start to learn

to make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,

and wait till dinner time.

We're having liver and onions,

a favorite dish of mine."

He asked "Can I please rent a movie,

to watch on my VCR?"

"Sorry, but I sold your TV,

for new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,

you'll take the couch instead.

The CSD requires

just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,

I'll choose what we eat.

That allowance that you used to get,

will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,

dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.

Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',

its in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,

Why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out,

instad of CSD..?"

Send to all people that have teenagers or have already raised teenager, or have children who will soon be teenagers or those who will be parents someday OR ANYONE WHO"D JUST GET A LAUGH...I love this one!!!

sorry to change the subject

My Grandson has to live with one.

well did you know that if something happens to him (like molestation) you could be charged for withholding info on a child whos in danger? you should do something about this immediately...im sure you have tried everything you can think of but this is your grandson (im not ragging on you in any way) i just hate to hear things like this. you should dig really deep into this...for one child molestors are not suppose to be around children...well here in my state anyways...please,please look into this more. i know its none of my business and i mean no disrespect in any way,but please save this little boy before its to late. apparently his mother doesnt see this as a threat,so you have got to do something about this even if it pisses off the mother...

Im 14 is it too late to join hockey next season??

2009-08-03T02:18:00.003-07:00

i played road hockey on roller blades for several years now.ive always wanted to play ice hockey but never was able to until now but im wondering if i should just find another sport due to the fact i would be starting in midget hockey.so the ? is should i join or would it be point less???

Im 14 is it too late to join hockey next season??
No its not too late to join Hockey-with alot of hard work and practice and the right attitude You will do great.
Reply:the honest answer is - find another sport - life's passed you by.

try lawn bowling
Reply:It's never too late to join, but you might find that their skill level may be higher than yours since most kids start when they're really young.
Reply:It's certainly not too late..

Most youth programs will place you into a development program first anyway.. and you'd likely play your first season in a Midget house program or B league..

Doesn't mean you can't play travel hockey in the A or AA or even AAA, but more likely, you'll find the B league to your liking, as it's players developing a skill level..

Given you are a brand new player, occaisonally, house programs will allow you to play down a couple of levels for a season in part, so you don't get discouraged.. even tho you are 14, you might play with a Peewee B team (11 and 12) (you are ineligble under USA Hockey Rules to play below your age group in the A, AA or AAA level, you can only play up, but you are permitted in certain circumstances to play down for development purposes in B levels)

Nothing wrong with playing down, and many of them will challenge you to develope.. Bottom line is if you want to do it, do it now.. by the end of your first year, if you work hard, especially on the drills, you can make up alot of ground, and could be ready for high school hockey...

Good Luck and prepare to work your butt off...
Reply:Well, its never to late to join, and hey, you never know anything until you try it, you might be a born natural...and I'm sure with a little practice you will get really good
Reply:It's never too late. My son just got on skates 10 months ago. He is playing on a Squirt B team and is doing great. Practice and get as much ice time as you can. Sometimes coaches on other teams will let you practice with their team if you ask politely and they see you are willing to work hard. Good Luck
Reply:Join and work harder than everyone else.

It's NOT too late!

Trust me.
Reply:no most people dont until high school anyways.
Reply:If you have already been playing roller hockey that is a positive right there. I played roller hockey growing up because my parents could not afford for me to play ice hockey until I was about 14. Once you get adjusted to playing on the ice you will realize that you are not that much further behind the other ice hockey players. By the time I graduated high school I was good enough to play college hockey but decided to work instead. I do however play in adult leagues now that are comprised of ex-pros and college players. Anyway, the answer is NO, it is definitely not too late for you to start. Your body is still adapting and growing and you will be amazed at how quickly you pick things up. You have to remember not to get discouraged in the beginning and continue to work hard throughout. One more thing, don't stop playing roller hockey. It is a great alternative to the ice and an awesome training aid.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are those boots called?

2009-08-03T02:18:00.002-07:00

The ones that you wear for jumping, they're kinda like roller blades, but instead of rolling you jump really high, they have a part that's like a half c from your calf to the ground.

Is it easier for an adult to learn to skate with heelys vs other skates?

2009-08-03T02:18:00.001-07:00

I never really learned to skate very well as a kid (with the 4 wheels kind) and it surely didn't get any better when roller blades came out. so, my question, i'd love to learn to skate, but i don't want to fall, so is it easier to learn to skate with the new heelys? thank you.

Is it easier for an adult to learn to skate with heelys vs other skates?
probably not, heelys are a single wheel in the heel of a skate-shoe type sneaker. they are not good for skating at all, in fact, they are a completely different type of activity. (apparently good for use in malls and supermarkets, when little old ladies come out of no where and almost get plowed down)

learning to skate is best with Rollerblades. don't let the single line of wheels scare you, they are surprisingly easy to use, and much more fun than roller-skates or any other skate

you also use them differently than a skate, you push off with one foot, while gliding with the other, it is almost like glorified walking.

I'm thinking of getting myself a new pair after answering this. heh
Reply:Depends on how good your balance is.
Reply:I don't own heelys but I would think it would be easier. Regular skates you have to learn balance well or fall. Heely's are like shoes.
Reply:skates are better because on heelys adults fall to easy so skates can be hard but their easy to use

What is an Olie?

2009-08-03T02:18:00.000-07:00

I heard it, while a group was riding scooters, roller blades, skateboards and bikes.

What is an Olie?
it's the most basic trick you'll ever learn on a skateboard and is the one trick you NEED to know to learn anything else.An ollie is when you jump upwards on a skateboard.
Reply:The "Ollie" was invented by Alan Ollie Gelfand. It's is a skateboarding trick involving a leap into the air with the skateboard staying flush with the feet. Basically it's a jumping with your skateboard. Invented in 1970.
Reply:is when u get air on flat land
Reply:making a skateboard jump! but thats for losers, rollerblades 4 life!
Reply:on a skateboard or snowboard it is when you get some air by raising the nose and using the tail to spring off of. a nollie is the reverse, using the noise to spring off of.

Any ideas?

2009-07-31T04:36:00.002-07:00

I want to be able to practice at least some of my ice skating moves at home, because sometimes I can't make it to my local ice rink and I lose a lot of valuable time this way. I heard that there are some 'portable' ice rinks but I've got no idea whether it's true or not. Also I'm not sure how much it would cost to build my own ice rink at home so this is also an unlikely option. Are any roller-blades for figure skating good to practice things people normally do on ice? Any ideas totally appreciated...wild or not wild ^_^

Thank you once again Yahoo people! x

Any ideas?
Actually, there is a product call synthetic ice. It isn't actually ice and can be used in the summer too! Its great for practice and there is actually a synthetic ice area at my real ice rink. There are lots of websites but this one seems self explainatory: http://www.superglideskating.com I dont know how much it is but I think it depends on how big you want the surface to be.
Reply:Theres no such thing as a portable ice rink but there is afew things you can get. I suggest investing in a spinner, on those you can practice your spins at home. Also, I recomend MaxiFlex. It improves your flexibility which helps in all areas of skating. You can purchase these at Rainbo Sports in Illinois, Wisconsin, or Michigan if you live close by there.
Reply:well i dont know about a portable ice rink (???) but im assuming high quality, sport roller blades should do the trick.
Reply:try this website http://www.icerinklink.com/
Reply:I think the best and most practical thing to do would be to practise your moves in the back yard of your house, the loops,etc. with roller blades, no reason why they wont work.GOOD LUCK.!!!

That seventies Girl...?

2009-07-31T04:36:00.001-07:00

You had that Fisher Price Doctor 's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked. You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket it plastic flowers on it. You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels. You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!). Or Poncho from CHIPS.You had Moon boots for snowy days. YEAH!

You owned a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on a sprinklerhead more than once. You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill". People sometimes thought you were a boy. Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession. You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers. You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer or one of Charlies Angel!

What else

That seventies Girl...?
You hung around at school with that seventies guy. You know him: He had the Six Million Dollar Man action figure with the bionic grip. He listened to KISS and even tried to put on makeup so that he could look like Gene Simmons.After KISS, the greatest album he ever bought and still owns is Frampton Comes Alive. At night, he watched "Emergency" with Johnny Gage and Roy Desoto, and his other favourite shoes were SWAT, ADAM 12 and the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour. He wore the elevated pepsi shoes and tried to make his bike with the banana seat into a chopper by extending the forks. At one point, he tried to "feather" his hair but failed terribly.Once, when you went to his house, you noticed that he had a Farrah Fawcett poster on his wall, and TEEN BEAT magazines all over the place.You borrowed his skate key for your roller skates and never returned it....I'd like it back please.

i wanna buy some roller blades ( inline) nut they only have mens sizes. There's no adjustable ones. so i need to know before i go skating with my uncle and cousins HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP PLEEEEEEASE

Wat is the difference between womens sizes and men sizes?
if you are a women your shoe size is one size bigger in mens.

For example: if you are a womens 7 you are a mens 8
Reply:Mens sizes are sized big so if you are a size 10 (shoe) in womens you will probably be a size 7 or 8 in mens...
Reply:Women's sizes are larger.

A size 5 Boy's is a 6.5 Women's.
Reply:Just go to a sports equipment store and buy girl skates in your normal size. If you need to rent them, they should have girls. If you can't get girls, then pick up a boy size that looks like it would fit and try it on. If its too small, get bigger. If its too big, get smaller. When you find the right one, remember the boy size, so if you rent or buy them, you will know.

You could pin cash all over it (you are such a good waitress, you have your tips billowing out of it?). You could also get the play money and do the same thing. Sounds like fun- spirit week. Enjoy!

Sexist mini jerk on wheels...?

2009-07-31T04:35:00.002-07:00

So yesterday I went to my friend's party at the rollerskating rink.

So I'm warming up on the edge of the rink and this one boy who is going THISFAST swerves around me and is all, "HEY GET OUT OF MY WAY!!" And he insulted my bf at the party too, AND there were races and the boy was like "Girls are first? Why?"

Oh, and I saw him keeping on doing the same thing and I heard people going "DAMMIT!" under their breath.

AND, when he was getting his roller BLADES on, he was laughing at poor birthday girl... "They're so stupid, sticking their arms like that." And his dad SMILED!

He's spoiling the fun for everyone. If I see him again, should I tell a staff member to make him leave?

Sexist mini jerk on wheels...?
hai,

i think he's having the problem,..

All i can remember is there were several robots, one of which had roller blades and carried sports equipment. Their base was under a big grassy hill. I can't find the name of it anywhere, but I know it came on tv after I got home from school in elementary school. I think that there was a boy who lived with the robots.

My 14 yr old son and I want to get fit, where do we start?

2009-07-31T04:34:00.003-07:00

My son approached me about wanting to get into shape. He is 5'10 and weighs 186lbs so he is now a small kid. I don't want to start with a drastic change, I'd prefer to do it gradually over a few weeks.

Right now our eating habits are horrible and we would like to get into a better routine. What are some good breakfast choices? It's a meal we miss often and I know we need to eat in the morning.

Also, we're going to work out starting with cardio. What would you recommend so we don't over do it? We have access to roller blades, stationary bikes, treadmills and a home gym type of weight machine.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

My 14 yr old son and I want to get fit, where do we start?
aww this is nice, i wish more parents cared enough about their kids to care about their health.

first of all yes, it is very important to eat breakfast. even if its just a slice of toast with peanut butter and an orange or something. you could also buy healthy cereals (look for whole grain, low sugar...no more than 200 calories per half a cup)

oatmeal is great too, just pop it in the microwave and add a small amount of brown sugar and its deeelicious

lunch should be healthy too. things to eat are:

carrots or celery

apples

oranges

bananas

grapes

turkey with mustard on whole wheat

peanut butter sandwhiches (but watch portion size)

lowfat yogurt

small lowfat granola bars

dinner:

chicken or fish - grilled, broiled, or baked NOT covered in cheese or butter

brocolli steamed with lemon and a little salt

brown rice (watch portion sizes)

small baked potatos with salsa

whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and vegetables

things to GREATLY reduce eating:

fried foods

sodas (diet and regular)

white bread

sweets (u gotta have some tho ;) )

fatty meats (chicken, fish, and turkey are better choices)

cheesy buttery whatever (you need some dairy and fat, just watch it)

exercise is good too

assuming u've never exercised (or its been a looong while) start out walking briskly...

aim to do 20-30 minutes of cardio 4 -5 times a week.

start out slowly, like a said, a brisk (but not killer) walk, biking (again, be comfortable, you should be able to talk comfortably)

start with small weights. a general rule i guess is to do 2 set of 12-15 reps of whatever you have.

two good websites, one for you, one for your son

these will give u work out and diet tips and help:

www.sparkpeople.com (for you)

www.sparkteens.com (for your son)

good luck! be healthy and safe! don't hurt yourself!!
Reply:With all mum-son routines I think its important to keep it fun. Rather than focus on one particular activity, why not make an agreement that at a particular time each day or on set days each week you will do something active together.

Being active doesn't have to be a chore, and by doing a variety of activities each week will keep it interesting and memorable.
Reply:well, start on a balanced diet.. i mean eat oatmeals and fruits........ it will help you a lot..because oatmeals have also long been a staple of many athletes' diets, especially weight trainers', given oatmeal's high content of complex carbohydrates and at least exercise f0r 1 hour everyday....... go dancing.. find videos on workin out..

hope this will help you lose weight....
Reply:roller skates are just fun, good for ankles but i dunno about weight that much.

breakfast is a must im sure you know that.

good with cardio very good.

well, i don't know the age of your son so i don't nkow what to tell you about length time. but i can tell you, you need to run for about 30-60 minutes at a steady and comfortable pace. keep your heart rate at 160-190 bpm. you can start at a jog and slowly go to a run. after that lift some weights. NOT EXTREMELY HEAVY really light and easy weights (but enough so you can feel it lol) 3 sets of 10 for a start to work on endurance and toning your muscles.

great breakfast choices would be picking off of the food pyramid. get some healthy cereals with whole wheat and grain. change your bread from white to multi grain. NO SODA/JUICE/CANDY (...candy every once in a while IN MODERATION.)

ps gradually is good.

maybe mon wed fri cardio and light lifting

tues and thurs only lifting and strength (push ups crunches abs)

if you want to do it gradually only run for about 15 min and lift weights for 20. as the days/ weeks go on, increase the time.

go on runs! hikes! bike ride! go swimming!

Losing weight after baby?

2009-07-31T04:34:00.002-07:00

I had a baby 6 months ago, my third and final and I still need to lose my baby weight. I am having a really hard time. I have started walking every evening with my husband and in the morning after my son's breakfast and bottle, I put him in the stroller and hike. We go on a really long, and hilly walk. He sleeps and I listen to the 80's on my music thing. I have asked for roller blades for Mother's Day too. I need to lose about 100 pounds, but 70-80 would be a blessing and a miracle. I have also started weight watchers and given up any and all chocolate. I am just feeling so down on myself and impatient. Any advice?/ THanks for reading.

P.S. I have had two c-sections and a regular delivery. The c-sections were emergency's and this last one was a bit traumatic to me and baby but we are both thankfully fine.

Losing weight after baby?
Loosing weight postpartum can be difficult. I got a double jogger and ran mostly every day. That burned it off for me. That took about 7 months postpartum. Just the fact that you are getting your excercise is a step in the right direction no matter how frustrating it can be when it seems the scale doesn't move.
Reply:If your hiking everyday and getting your heart rate up, then you should lose weight. make sure to only drink water and keep the sweets to a minumum. the main thing is that you dont stop while your hiking and keep your heart rate up because that is how cardio works. i do a 45 min cardio workout 4-5 times a week and its helping. dont be impatient, it takes time to lose weight. good luck
Reply:sounds like u are REALLY on the right track! i once did the bally's challenge, which was trying to do like biggest loser and win $25K. i did it very seriously.... went to gym 2 1/2 hours a day for 5 weeks and only ate 1200 calories/ day. i didnt have more than 30 lbs to lose, but i lost 17 lbs in 30 days and the frustrating part is that i didnt start seeing weight loss until the end of 2nd week.

try to eat about 1500 calories a day... whatever u like, but when u get to your limit, simply drink no calorie drinks, like hot tea with splenda, or water or the like. if u stay to 1500 a day, as hard as it is the 1st 2 weeks, u WILL lose weight! and that's the healthy way to do it. if u want chocolate or something bad, eat it, but include it in the overall calories. by the biggest loser calorie counter book on amazon used for cheap or something if u need help counting calories. it covers everything and i found one for $5 myself. u will be hungry the 1st 2 weeks, but amazingly your stomach will become used to it. with the exercise u are putting in, it will be IMPOSSible not to take off the pounds pretty quick. week 3 and beyond is when u really start seeing weight loss. weight about twice a week, always in the morning and before u shower or eat. that way, it will be more steady than if u way at end of day. write it down if it helps u keep track. keep doing what u are doing... and give it 30 days to see how u progress. giving up is the easy way out.. staying with it WILL make a happier and more importantly healthier U for U and your family!
Reply:Even if you are a full time mom make sure there is at least half or one hour only for yourself. Join some sporting activity or try to use the bike, go swimming etc. Check on everything you eat. Don't let depression or time factor overpower your desire to lose weight again. Get some old picture of yours enlarged and hang it on the wall. You want to look like your old best self always. Once in a week treat yourself with very small amount of favorite items which you keep away to lose weight. Try to imagine yourself in small size clothes when you are out to get motivated. Note the weight changes every week so you know where you are going. Positive thinking and strong will power will help a lot. Good luck!
Reply:Why the hell do you have to ask your hubby for rollerblades? Take the family credit card and buy them yourself.

How degrading is it that you have to ask for things from your own husband!!! And, mother's day shouldn't be a time to get presents, it's a time to get a cute flower or card just as a reminder that you are a mother and how thankful he is etc.

Anyway, as for your question, you're on the right track. I doubt you do the hike everyday or else you would have seen results by now.. so.. keep it up and do it EVERY DAY. It's that simple.

Tanning Beds?

2009-07-31T04:34:00.001-07:00

I'm 14, and a girl, and I am fair skinned. I already have freckles, under my eyes, like on my upper cheeks, and on my nose. They fade away every winter, which is understandable. You can still see them, but only when your up close. I have those tiny, cute freckles that everyone likes and wants, and not the huge, looks like you got splattered with brown paint freckles. I wanted to bring those freckles out a little more this week by going to a ?tanning bed? Can tanning beds work like the sun? They are both UV lights that cause tanning right? (and sun burning) I just love my freckles, haha. I want them to be a little more bolder a little earlier than Summer, if you understand. I don't really know how to explain it.

Oh and to let you guys know, I get them pretty dark in summer anyway cause I have a swimming pool and I'm always outside in it, and I love to skate--on roller blades-- and so yeah. But I just want them EARLYYY.

Tanning Beds?
It will work but be careful you can get sunburned too.

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas...

Things I've learned from my boys (honest and not kidding):

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 ft. room.

You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

Super glue is forever.

No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

VCR's do not eject "PB %26amp;J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

It will, however, make cats dizzy.

Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Those who pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without boys do it because:

a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!

b) For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.

c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.

d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.

e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control

I've had a fall on my bike- I caught the fall with my face and what concerns me is a blood blister on my lip.

2009-07-31T04:33:00.002-07:00

Usually I just read these questions, But now I have a question to ask. I've fallen a lot of times on my bike (and roller-blades and skateboards and scooters and just plain running) but this concerns my face (it bounced off the cement).. So I guess you can call me pretty worried. Well, my face is bruised all over with a favor to my left side.. my nose is sore and I have a nasty bruise on my forehead. But my top lip: it has been getting bigger and bigger and when you lift up the lip you see deep red where it is swelling. (So.. blood blister) I thought it would be down by the time I woke up this morning (the accident happened yesterday) but it's bigger and now I cannot shut my mouth. What should I do about it? Should I pop it? Leave it alone?

I've had a fall on my bike- I caught the fall with my face and what concerns me is a blood blister on my lip.
well.. contact a doc... if it's that bad, then a doc should be able to drain it properly without risking infection.
Reply:No, I wouldn't pop it but I think you do need to see a doctor as soon as possible. I've never seen blood blisters that were serious but then again, I'm not a medical professional. By all means, see a doctor. It may be expensive if you don't have insurance but it's worth it. Good luck!

Relationship issues...what to do?

2009-07-31T04:33:00.001-07:00

I've been going out with this girl for 2 years now and we've been through so much. Lately, an ordeal we've been dealing with is that a close friend of her's has a crush on her. He claimed that it's gone...but he spends farr too much time with her. He messes with her hair, buys her movie tickets, dinner, and even buys her a pair of roller blades. He claims it's out of a brother and sister relationship...but I suspect something..

My girlfriend finally acknowledged that she has to tell him off, and the fact that I accused her of cheating on me, because I was so mad has made her feel so bad and she wishes to break up with me.

I found out from her friend that she's first gonna deal with the guy who has a crush on her..then talk to me...but she was really...upset...angry and wantin to break up because she basically "betrayed me"

I don't want this relationship to end like this...any tips or advice?

Relationship issues...what to do?
Well, if I can be frank I can understand where the wrong impression has come from but I think you overreacted and definitely jumped to conclusions. The first thing you need to do is apologise sincerely - I think that there's a possibility that her friend is still interested but that doesn't mean that she is back. You need to tell her how much you love her, how you don't want it to end. You don't want to lose her - she needs to know that. You need to tell her that she has every right to be angry and upset, but you reacted without thinking and you feel bad about it. Good luck ^^

I was at my wits end when my son came home from school.Do you think i'm being unreasonable when i gave him ---

2009-07-31T04:32:00.002-07:00

these choices? Can the D H S have me locked up?

My son came home from school one day,

With a smirk upon his face.

He decided he was smart enough,

to put me in my place.

'Guess what I learned in Civics Two,

that's taught by Mr. Wright?

It's all about the laws today,

The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,

don't have to cut my hair

No one can tell me what to think,

or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,

and regardless what you say,

I don't have to bow my head,

and I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,

and pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.

I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,

get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,

I'll charge you with a crime.

I'll back up all my charges,

with the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,

my body's only for my use,

no! ! ! t for your hugs and kisses,

that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,

like your Mama did to you.

That's nothing more than mind control,

And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,

so you can't influence me,

or I'll call Children's Services Division,

better known

as 'C.S.D.'

Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was

to toss him out the door.

But the chance to teach him a lesson

made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,

I couldn't let this go.

A smile crept upon my face,

he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping at the local Goodwill Store..

I told him, 'Pick out all you want,

there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D .

who said they didn't care

if I bought you K-Mart shoes

instead of Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment

to take your driver's test.

The C.S.D. is unconcerned

so I'll decide what's best.'

I said 'No time to stop and eat,

or pick up stuff to munch.

And tomorrow you can start to learn

to make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,

and wait till dinner time.

We're having liver and onions,

a favorite dish of mine.'

He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,

to watch on my VCR?'

'Sorry, but I sold your TV,

for new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,

you'll take the couch instead.

The C.S.D. requires

just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,

I'll choose what we eat.

That allowance that you used t! ! ! o get ,

will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,

dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.

Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',

It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,

Why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out,

instead of C.S.D..?'

Send to all people that have teenagers or have already raised teenagers,

or have children who will soon be teenagers or those who will be parents someday

OR ANYONE WHO'D JUST GET A LAUGH. I love this One!!!

(Mean Old Mother.)

Wonderful! So true! So ironic.

Kids today have so much unearned power these days. Far too many kids use this "power" to manipulate their parents. If a kid doesn't get what he/she wants the kid will use this power to HURT their parents by telling school or Child Protection Services a big lie about what happens at home. The CPS people are supposed to believe the kids, yank them from home and investigate the innocent parents.

Your little poem is true.

I'm at my wit's end with my stepdaughter. It's never enough for her. We don't have oodles and oodles of money to try and satisfy her every whim. I want to go swimming. When we are ready to go, nah. I don't want to go. I want to go see a movie. I want to go ice skating. I want a new snow board. I want to go to Friendly's. I want this. I want that. Nah. Yeah. Nah. Yeah.

I don't know what is with kids' but they are very hard to please and difficult. There is no compromise. I'm glad that I don't have my own kids because I would be the mean old mom because I don't have millions to spend and lots of time either.

What I have is some time and creativity.

14. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.

15. If you use a waterbed as a home plate while wearing baseball shoes, it does not leak. It explodes.

17. Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year-old.

18. Duplos will not.

33. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

34. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

35. A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life. (....unfortunately, mostly in retrospect). :-)

Want To Know What Kids Can Teach You???
This one is not mine, but I wanted to pass it on.

Why do we spend the first year or so of a child's life teaching them to walk and talk, then the next dozen or so telling them to sit down and shut up?

I have heard that new studies indicate insanity is hereditary... --we get it from our children.

And a lesson learned from one of my own: Did you know that a pair of tweezers looks like it will fit perfectly into an electrical wall outlet?

Actually, at my age, I have raised a lot of children...

In fact I am still raising one...

--He's 35 now.

Those of you who have tykes still in nappies (diapers), know the joys of children... Like when your boss or someone you wanted to impress is visiting and starts bouncing your tyke on his knee.

You suddenly realize that even though you just changed the child, they have already explored the best thing to do in a clean nappie...

Which is better ABEC-9 bearings or bones swiss bearings?

2009-07-31T04:32:00.000-07:00

im trying to buy speed skates not roller blades any suggestions i don't want any skates over $150

Which is better ABEC-9 bearings or bones swiss bearings?
You are NOT going to find "speed" skates for under $150.

In the $150 and under range, you will find RECREATIONAL skates. If you are really lucky, you might find a fantastic deal on a closeout FITNESS skate. Expect to spend over $500 for racing (aka speed) skates.

Rollerblade is a brand, not a style of skate. You can buy Rollerblade racing skates but that would be the lower end of the racing skates. The bigger brands in the speed world would be Bont and Simmons.

The bearing is way down (almost at the bottom) on the list of things that will affect your speed. The wheels are way more important.

Swiss and ABEC are not actually related to speed. ABEC is just a tolerance spec for high speed industrial bearings.

It became important early on for inline skates because the early ones tended to have what the bearing industry calls "precision" bearings, which are anything but precise.

Any bearing that could meet any ABEC standard was significantly better. Then the makers found that they could advertise ABEC numbers as a hype method.

Swiss is just a marketing term that has no meaning except as part of a specific bearing name.

You will find that the top of the line bearings like the Bones Swiss, TwinCam ILQ-9 (www.ilq9.com/), Zero Drag Demon and Pro (www.rollerbob.com/cat-8.html) do not have an ABEC rating. They can shape the races differently to have more clearance and move faster but hold to similar runout by violating the particular tolerances required by ABEC.

The fast people (those racing in pro classes) will try out different bearings and find the ones they like.

I am not a racer but have friends who are (by the time they get their custom boots set up with wheels and frames, they are well over $1000)

My skates are at the fitness level. They were (no longer made) around $350 but I got a great deal on them.

I typicaly (except when I win some good bearings) use the Zero Drag Demons and 84.5mm 84A (medium hardness) Zero Drag Racing wheels (www.rollerbob.com/A08.html)
Reply:Try going to www.lowpriceskates.com for some really decent deals. Report It

Reply:abec is not a real rating for skate bearings its a rating for industrial bearings and has nothing to do with speed in the first place. abec 9's could be worse than abec 3's you just never really know. Swiss on the other hand is a real rating and is way better than any abec bearing, you can never go wrong with a swiss rated bearing. Swiss bearings are smoother and longer lasting even if it's not bones brand it's still a good bearing. People will tell you anything in order to sell you something don't let skate places fool you into buying these "faster" abec rated bearings. No such thing.
Reply:listen to this livewire guy.

cuz that is so true.

abec does not mean isht.

you can buy abec 9's and not take care of them and all of a sudden they are abec 1's.

also, where the hell did you find abec nine's.......it only goes up to abec 7 and there is no 2, 4, or 5.

How to properly tie rollerblades?

2009-07-31T04:31:00.003-07:00

i have mission roller blades and every time i play after about 5 mins i have very sharp pains on the bottom of my feet and i cant stand up any longer is like my circulation is cutting off in my feet anyone know how to fix this? thanks

How to properly tie rollerblades?
You are probably tying them too tight. I tie mine loose every except up by the ankles.
Reply:I am assuming that this is not the hot spots of blisters being formed. That would be your feet moving inside the skate.

Look really close for anything that is not smooth inside the skate in the area. Apply pressure in case there is something hiding under the liner. Watch that you don't bunch up your socks anywhere.

Most men's socks are designed for up to size 12 feet and will be loose on size 8-9 feet.

Most stores don't carry the smaller sized men's socks but it happens that the larger women's size is equivalent to the smaller men's size.

Local pains are likely from boot shape pushing on parts of the foot.

If it is in the arch area, the footbed's arch may not match your foot's arch. If the mismatch is small, the two can adjust to each other with time but getting a footbed with less arch may be a faster solution. The ultimate of this is to go to a skate or ski specialty store and have them make a custom footbed for you.

It is also possible to use a few lacing tricks to loosen them for parts of the foot.

If you lace a pair of eyelets up along the side instead of crossing, that will loosen that spot.

You can also use multiple sets of laces so you can tighten large sections of the foot independantly.
Reply:do you even need to tie up rollerblades? JK, yeah the only time I had sharp pains in my foot was when I was learning to walk again after I broke my leg...so unless you've broken your leg recently I would venture to guess you are tying your blades too tight. If you need more support use some clear tape (sock tape) around your ankles and area.....hope this helps
Reply:tie the laces together so that you can skate on one rollerblade.

I'm a HUGE craigslist fan! I've come across the greatest deals there! I bought a Cannon XL2 (2 years ago) for $2,500. I've sold guitars, amps, and mixers... I even bought a pair of roller blades for $10.00 (I used the wheels for a DIY camera crane and dolly system)

A word of warning to everyone?

2009-07-31T04:30:00.003-07:00

RAISING BOYS:

a. For those with no children - this is totally hysterical! b. For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious. c. For those who have children this age, this is not funny. d. For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning. e. For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.

the Facts:

1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house

4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 ft. room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a

36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a

4 year old boy.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject "PB %26amp; J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

Reply:24. When a male three-year-old is chewing on something, and walks up to a 16-year-old female babysitter to hand her half an earthworm, she quits.

25. If a running five year old trips and hits the padded front of a sofa with his face, the force of impact will split his face open.

26. If a screaming five year old has a split open face, it takes 120 seconds to make a round pool of blood with a diameter of two and a half feet.

27. It takes a scared father 120 seconds to use half his left hand to call the ER to tell them to prepare for his son's arrival, start the car, grab three paper towels to stop the profuse bleeding of his five year old son's split open face, and carry him to the car.

28. If a four-year-old boy hears you say the word "pianist" he hears the word "penis" and he repeats it as often as he can.

29. When your son is learning to walk on roller blades, he always turns his feet inwards and walks on his ankles.

30. When your son is finally getting the hang of walking on the wheels of his roller blades, and you give him a hand to help steady him, he will always grab a thumb with one hand and a pinky finger with the other. Then, when he loses his balance, he lets go of the thumb and spins in a circle.

Is a size 14 Girls considered sm, med or lg?

2009-07-31T04:30:00.002-07:00

I know this is kind of a silly question, but I have no idea if a 10 year old girl who wears a 14 Girls for pants %26amp; 14/16 Girls for shirts would be considered small, medium or large. I'm asking because at work we have "adopted" several underprivleged families for Christmas. The girl I will be shopping for wants roller blades. I know her shoe size, but I would like to buy her protective gear to go along with the skates. I need to know what size to buy %26amp; most sets of pads I've seen are labeled as sm, med %26amp; lg.

Thanks for your help!!! :)

Is a size 14 Girls considered sm, med or lg?
I would say medium as well, although, it would be on the edge between medium and large, so if something looks like i runs small, then you might want to think about going up a size.

One idea, go to the clothes department and grab a shirt in that size that isn't stretchy (not a t-shirt) with long sleeves. Then you can use that to judge how big around the arm would be. You could do the same thing for the legs with a pair of jeans.
Reply:Medium, a beautiful MEDIUM.

Why not get her knee pads and a helmet and a gift card to a store to pick out whatever else she needs ?

Reply:When u make the purchase, do not forget to consult the sales girl or the tailor who does fitting. But fittings r not same in the same age group. U have to decide about that when u dole out the dress. The girl herself will help u in deciding, what's the right size for her.

Reply:Large
Reply:big girl for a 10 year old, but the size is med
Reply:14/16 girls is considered a large. But as far as protective gear for roller blades, that would be totally different. You would be safe to get medium, I would suggest. At 10 yrs old, it is pretty safe to say the girl doesn't have large legs yet...

Suggestion: ask a child you know that is about 10 to try a knee pad on...most 10yr olds will have about the same knee/leg size. It is when you get into the teens that the children start to develop larger thighs and caps.

Reply:since protective gear is going to fit differently than regular clothes its hard to say.

As far as regular clothes go it all depends....Some sizes run smaller and some run larger.

For example when at size 8 at store A could be a size 9 at store B. and could be a size 7 at store C.

You could always but in a gift receipt just in case it don't fit right.

And thank you for thinking of other this Holiday Season. I wish there were out there who did this with out expecting something in return.

Is it okay for a person to be Very Sexual?

2009-07-31T04:29:00.002-07:00

"Oh no, it's my husband!", she said to her boyfriend on hearing the front door slam. "Quick hide in the wardrobe!"

He grabbed his clothes and dashed from the bed to the wardrobe. After a few minutes, another voice said quietly, "It's damn dark in here, isn't it?"

The man, shivering in the nude, said, "Who's there?"

The little voice replied, "Give me $50 and I won't yell out to Dad and tell him who you are."

In no position to argue, he handed over the money, and at the appropriate time made a quick dash out the window.

The following week, Junior came home with a brand new set of roller blades. His mother queried, "Where did you get the money for those?"

"I had $50", he replied.

"Where did you get that kind of money?", but Junior wasn't telling.

Convinced her son was up to no good, she ordered him to go to Church. "Confession will fix you up, my boy. You'll have to tell the Priest", and she pushed him into the confessional box and shut the door.

"It's damn dark in here", he said out loud.

"Now, don't you start that shi*t again here!”, said the Priest.

What games did you play when you were a kid?

2009-07-31T04:29:00.001-07:00

Red Rover? Dodge ball? Stick ball? Kick the can? Hide and go seek, cowboys and indians? Hop Scotch? (games)

Did you own a pogo stick? A hula hoop? Metal roller blades? A home made wooden downhill racer?

What games did you play when you were a kid?
I played all the games you have mentioned.

So much fun playing with all the kids in the neighborhood.

We also had wooden guns, with a cloths pin attached and shot each other with the strip of rubber cut from old rubber intertubes.

The hula hoop came to late for me but my kids always had one.

Cowboys and Indians were fun. We made stick horses out of a tree branch and tied a string on for a bridle and left a few leaves for the tail.

My cousin and I had fun, until one day we got into a fight because, I wanted to be Tex Ritter and I wanted her to Chief Joseph.

Well that didn't do cause she wanted to be Tex Ritter.

We really were having a knock down drag out, when my uncle dicided he would teach a lesson.

He put my cousin tom's boxing gloves on us and made us fight it out.

After that we swore to him that I would always be Tom Mix and she would be Gene Autry or The Lone Ranger.

Times will never be the same.

Technology has taken over the lives of all children these days.

They can't go back have the joy in simple fun that we had as kids.

We have our memories of a wonderful world.

I'm so thankful that I conducted my life in a manner that I can live on those memories.

My favorite song to listen to is, "What a Wondderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

Great Question.
Reply:We played tag, Red Rover, hide and seek. We pretended we were all kinds of things. We rode our bikes all the time. I learned how to roller skate on a pair of skates that had metal wheels, adjustable to fit your shoes. My dad made me a pair of wooden stilts and I learned how to walk on them (and I still can to this day). We played house in old cardboard boxes, and when we got tired of that, we flattened them and used them to slide down grassy hills. I was a tomboy, I didn't care for dolls, but I loved my stuffed animals. I loved everything about nature, and I used to catch bugs and turtles and frogs and garter snakes. In the summer I played outside from sun up to sun down. Any kid that stayed indoors all day back then must have been ill, because no healthy kid in there right mind would voluntarily stay in the house in good weather. I also remember decorating my bike on the Forth of July with crepe paper streamers that were red, white and blue. And I remember clipping playing cards to the wheel forks so they flapped against the spokes and sounded like a motor. When we had sleep-overs, we'd tell scary stories and scare each other silly! I had the time of my life (And yes, I did have a hula hoop!) =)

We didn't have roller blades. We had roller skates that you needed a key to fit them to your shoes, but we could only use them on someone's sidewalk (not our brick walkway) and couldn't use them on the unpaved road.

Another one I enjoyed was "Annie -- Over!" (How it got that name, I don't know.) One kid would be in front of the house and the other would be behind it. The one with the ball would yell "Annie!" and the other would yell "Over!" and the ball would go sailing over the house. A variation on catch.

There was also "Giant Steps." The one in charge would tell each of the others to take a certain number of "baby steps" or a certain number of "giant steps," but before you could proceed, you had to say, "Mother, May I?" If you forgot to say it, you had to take a step back. (A good game for six kids to play.)

And, yes, there was softball and croquet, and we had a basketball standard, but that was for my brothers. I never got the hang of the game. (Still bores me, almost as much as football! But I love hockey and baseball.)

PLEASE HELP!? I have a horrible fear of...?

2009-07-31T04:29:00.000-07:00

Every time I see rollerblades, I freeze....?

Let me start from the beginning. I use to rollerblade every day for like 2 hours. One day I went outside and was just standing there on roller blades and fell. I broke my leg and had 2 screws put in my leg almost a year ago. (I was 12 years old at the time. Now I am 13.) I have to have the screws taken out in May.

Everytime I see someone rollerblading I just freeze and stare at the rollerblades. The brake just replays over and over in my head. I am like iin a daze. Is that possible? What do you think is wrong when I see rollerblades. It freaks my friends out. Today my friends dad thought I was sick and hadn't eaten all day when the truth was it was the rollerblades. What is happening. It's is almost like I want to rollerblade but I am sooo... scared. What is happening?

PLEASE HELP!? I have a horrible fear of...?
After experiencing something traumatic (and that incident you described definitely sounds traumatic to me) you tend to associate the cause of the incident with that incident. It's completely natural for you to fear what hurt you, and I really don't think you should be worried.

I crashed into a stationary car when I was riding my bike when I was 10 or so, and I scraped some skin off of my back. I was so scared, and refused to ride a bike ever again. Then about a year later, I decided to try again. I was so scared I'd get hurt again, but I didn't. My advice is to wait until YOU think you're ready to rollerblade again. Though you might want to try rollerblading again now, wait a while first... then try again. But since you react badly to rollerblading now, trying now would be a bad idea.

Good luck!

It does not have to the Titan or some big ride, but a medium size rollercoaster. Hold on to that person and have some fun. If you freeze then do not look at the rollercoaster, just think that if you do not get on this rollercoaster someone u love will be go forever.

My friend wants to take up figure skating but she is too old. Advice?

2009-07-31T04:28:00.001-07:00

my friend is 17 and wants to take up figure skating. i think she is too old. she dreams about skating in competitions. she has been skating for 8 years now, but hasn't taken any lessons. she is graceful and skates smoothly, but doesn't know any tricks. although figure skating is also one of my passions, i don't know what advice to give her. on one hand, i would try to take some lessons too and encourage her, but on the other hand, i think i am too old too. i don't think she could become a star and compete (don't get me wrong - i want her to), but i don't want to get her moral down. she really wants to do this. how can i help her? she doesn't have many ice rinks in her city and lessons could be expensive. she spends a lot of time on roller blades, but it's not the same thing.

My friend wants to take up figure skating but she is too old. Advice?
You're never too old to skate!

I presently have two adult skaters that I coach: one in their 40's and one in their 50's.

Ice Skating Institute (ISI) has numerous competitions throughout the U.S. that caters to recreational skaters. Events exist for the traditional freeskate performance to spotlight and other artistic events for all age groups.

She definitely needs to take lessons, so she can correctly learn all the elements and not pick up bad habits. Adult skaters are a growing breed and there is plenty of opportunity for her to shine!

I would suggest she start in learn to skate program and supplement with a weekly private lesson.

Good luck in her future skating achievements!
Reply:My coach Practiced and practiced after he had spiraled downward in his twenties but at forty eight he came back and won worlds.Unless you plan on going to olympics at age 28 you just have to go into adult worlds. or even Masters!!! Report It

Reply:Shes not too old! I only started getting good when I was 12. Tell her to take some lessons and try it. Do a few adult comptetions. She'll really enjoy it. Remeber, she doesn't have to make it too the olympics, just have FUN!
Reply:She is not too old. She is too old for the Olympics and such. But there are lots of other competitions. She should find a local skating school and take some classes. They offer adult classes, which may be more comfortable for her then taking lessons with very young children. She will definitely learn a lot of skills (jumps and spins) in no time. Heck, maybe she'll get good enough to coach others in order to make some extra cash for college (or to pay for her own lessons).
Reply:I don't see why she can't. At 19 I went from never having been on skates in my life to, in 6 months playing hockey in a league full of Canadian Junior Hockey and American College Hockey players..If she has the athletic ability and the willingness to work at it, I would not sell her short. Anything is possible.
Reply:age 17 is not too old to try something new. who gave the idea that your friend is too old????
Reply:No i dont think its too old. I started skating at 12 and that was considered old but I learned a lot in only 2 years. I'm 25 now and still skate competively. I discovered synchronized skating and I love it! She might be too old for competing Olympic level but its never too old to start competing locally. If she wasts to become an olympic skater (I dont care how old you are) she better be skating 7 days a week 5 hours a day.
Reply:ive been figure skating since i was 8 and im now 12. i just had to quit because of how high the costs are. shes not too old to figure skate. i used to coach people twice as old as me and even 5 times as old as me. but just make sure that shes ready to face high costs. just for an example - my skates cost $900, all private lessons are expensive but can come to be over $60 an hour. and not only that you have to pay to be a member of USFSA (US figure skating association) and you have to pay to be a member at a club. you also have to pay up to $15-20 to even skate on their ice. i had to quit last week because the money was insane. i only skated twice a week too. sometimes i wish i never started. so keep that information in mind.
Reply:It depends on her goals. If she wants to be an Olympic figure skater in ladies' singles - yes, she is too old. But if she just wants to learn to skate and to be able to compete - she dan start at any age. 17 isn't too old for that at all. If she works at it, she can even get quite good.

It won't be a waste of her time.
Reply:Get her a walker with those little plastic skis on them!!
Reply:No she is not too old. She, if she is good could still go far with it. Trust me, encourage her, she needs it. Let her have her dream.
Reply:I am a figure skater. You're never to old to start any hobby. Maybe it feels weird to you that she is starting at such a late age, but don't let her know that you might get her hopes down. But, I started at 3 and I was the oldest one so it does feel a little weird. Just tell her how you feel and maybe it'll help her get the courage to start and you will get the weird feeling out of your system. Hope this information helps you. :-D

How do i know if he really likes me or leading me on?

2009-07-31T04:28:00.000-07:00

my best guy friend who was also my ex a year ago has been having on and off feelings for me, says my other friends.. and i still have feelings for him too. and he always flirts with me and lately about a month ago he`s been calling me at like one or two in the morning just to say good night.. n` he`ll freakin` roller blades all the way to my house late at night (crazy) just to hangout.. but i`ve been waiting for so long for him to make a move and i don`t know if he just felt like callin` or if he wants to hook up again... whadda i do ...

How do i know if he really likes me or leading me on?
The first question is - why is he an ex? What caused you two to break up? Have things changed since then? Maybe you could ask him for a favor and see how he responds. If he's interested in getting back together he should jump at the chance to do something nice for you. If he's just using you when he feels lonely he might not be as eagar.
Reply:Man, I tell you...guys can be something else! You know what? I would straight up ask him. What is it that he wants? If he gives you some bogus answer I wouldn't be so available for him. It'll drive him crazy if he really wants more than just friends with you and it just might make him crack! :)
Reply:Life is too short ask him.
Reply:well just ask hima nd i do think he does want to hook up again just ask don't be shy.

Physics Question.....??????

2009-07-31T04:27:00.003-07:00

You are on roller blades on top of a large hill. Your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules. Your mass is 60 kg.

What is your weight in Newtons?

What is the height of the hill?

Any help would really be appriciated. I really don't understand this stuff.

Physics Question.....??????
Your weight in newtons is related to your mass by this equation:

W= mg

So you weigh W=(60kg)(9.8 m/s/s) = 588 N

PE = mgh (This is the formula for gravitational potential energy)

1000 = (60)(9.8)h Solve this for h, and you'll have the height of the hill in meters.
Reply:Using Newton's Second Law of motion, Force=mass times acceleration (F=m*g), where g is the acceleration due to earth's gravity, the weight turns out to be F=(60kg)*(9.81m/sec^2)= 588.6 Newtons. And using the gravitational potential energy formula E=m*g*h, solving for: h=E/(m*g), the height is h=1.699 meters.

Hope this helps.
Reply:Potential energy = mass * gravity * height

you know potential energy, 1000 J

you know your mass, 60kg

and you know gravity, 9.8 m/s²

so

1000 = 60 * 9.8 * h

solve for h to find the height of the hill

For your weight in newtons, it is just

force = mass * acceleration

force is measured in newtons, and acceleration is the acceleration of gravity (9.8)

f = 60kg * 9.8m/s²

f = 588 kgm/s², and kgm/s² simplified is newtons, so 588 newtons

What do you think???

2009-07-31T04:27:00.000-07:00

all the reasons having a son can be challenging!!!!!!!!!!!

1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft.

house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with

roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded

restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not

strong enough to rotate a 42 lb. boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman

cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint

on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.

When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times

before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball

hit by a ceiling fan.

7)When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's

already too late.

A 30kg girl and a 20kg?

2009-07-31T04:26:00.003-07:00

A 30kg girl and a 20kg boy face each other on friction-free roller blades. The girl pushes the boy, who moves away at a speed of 1.0m/s. The girls speed is _____ m/s.

a. 0.45

b. 0.55

c. 0.83

d. 1.2

A 30kg girl and a 20kg?
While momentum seems a logical place to start, if one uses the definition of momentum being m*v, it looks like the girls speed would be 2/3 of the boys (unless I totally misunderstand the whole issue, a definite possibility) however, 2/3 of 1, (0.66) is not a choice.

Using calculations for kinetic energy, I come up with 0.816, which also isn't a choice, but is sort of close to (c) 0.83

Maybe the links below will help you, or maybe someone who actualy knows will answer.
Reply:use momentum to figure it out
Reply:When you are talking about friction free surface, there are no 2 ways about it. It is conservation of momentum.

m1v1 = m2v

Use this equation.

Being a man i am useless at ironing.Whenever i iron something it somehow ends up more creased than before?

Wait until the iron is hot.

Reply:use steam
Reply:Don't let your stuff dry really creased. If you have a really super duper spin on your washing machine, hang the clothes up to dry straight away. At least then you have a fighting chance! Iron things slightly damp too......

Even I iron in creases and I hate ironing as well....... or join the army, they teach you to do it properly!
Reply:Just wear the clothing that you need ironing then go and sit in a sauna for ten minutes.
Reply:Don't ask me, I have the exact same problem. I can't iron woth sh*t. It sucks!

Although, I have figured that if I spray my clothes with water and shake them hard it too gets rid of wrinkles.
Reply:Your question isn't sexist or anything.

Get your butler to do it.
Reply:First, set the temp according to the fabric.

For a shirt, do the collar first, then the sleeves, un-button the cuffs and lay them out on the ironing board and get them as smooth as possible before putting the iron to it, then do the other sleeve. then do one side of the front of the shirt (unbuttoned) then the next, flip over and do the back. For pants, do one leg at a time, don't bother with creases it will just aggravate you.

If it is just too much of a hassle, take you clothes to the dry cleaners and have them laundered and pressed (not dry cleaned) they will be perfect every time.

No seriously, look at the instructions on the care label of the garment and check you have the right temperature for the item and make sure you use the steam setting - much easier.

I'd offer to help, but I have enough ironing to put a chinese laundry to shame.
Reply:I don't think being a man means you can't iron.
Reply:I feel so much more "comfortable" talking to Jeremy Clarkson than I do Kenny off South Park, anyway I digress.

Listen I could never iron until I joined the army years ago and I then realised that woman are having us on, its a piece of pi ss. Just stretch out you clothing spray it water from the iron and iron straight away, don't burn the fcker, common sense mate if its silk keep the temp way way down (what am I doing writing about ironing...god I must be drunk) anyway mate keep at it

6. It's hard to relate to any character in the game.

7. You must start missions over for stupid reasons.

8. A complete de-evolution to San Andres short of the graphics.

9. No bicycles.

10. No skate boards.

11. No roller blades.

12. No jet packs.

13. No chain saws.

14. No swords.

15. You cannot drive every vehicle you see. (to include jumbo jet)

How do you make your dog walk side to side with you?

2009-07-31T04:25:00.002-07:00

I have a dog named April.. She's is two years old and is a Pure yellow lab . So i was wondering how would i train her to walk side to side with my rather than run or try to run ahead while on a leash. She was probably trained to walk ahead since, i usually took her out with my roller blades in the past, but now it's really irritating to have to always pull on her collar or like using my muscles the entire walk. I rather have her stay side by side or refrain from pulling so much. Btw she is super energetic and goes out about 3 times a day for at least 40 minutes a trip.

How do you make your dog walk side to side with you?
well a gentle leader would help. its the thing that kinda looks like a muzzle but its not so dont worry. She wont like it but she will get used to it. Anyway or you can carry treats with you and hold them in you hold them in your hand next to the side. It will take time and practice. oh and always praise her when she is listening to you.
Reply:well i got something called a Sense-ation Collar. its actually a special kind of harness that keeps the dog from pulling. you can check it out here! it really works!

http://www.softouchconcepts.com/

oh and i would also beware of a Gentel leader..i had one before my harness and it upset my dog and eventually led to an eye problem. you can also check out this website for pros and cons of the two products. just so you can decide for yourself.

http://www.downtownpet.com/blog/2007/05/...
Reply:get head halter for the pulling and just train her to walk beside instead of ahead.

tell her heel or whatever command word you want and pull her to side when she gets ahead. relax the leash when she is where you want her.
Reply:have her on your left side and keep her lead in your right hand. with your left hand also on the lead, you can control her and tug her to stop and follow commands like heel and sit
Reply:Try holding treats at your side. I haven't tried it yet but I read it in a book I bought on puppy training. Sounds like a good idea to me!

Ok, heres my problem, our nieces bday is coming up here soon. But her mom, has sent out invites saying this... NO PRESENTS UNDER $50.00 WILL BE ACCEPTED!! Now this is a 8 yr old little girl whose poiled rooten, gets ANY %26amp; EVERYTHING she wants, %26amp; can do whatever she wants. No one tells her no, %26amp; NO ONE punishes this little girl at all. She bad mouths everyone, including her parents.

I refuse to go, %26amp; even more my soon to be 11 yr son is NOT allowed near her at all. But now I have grandma %26amp; grandpa on my butt telling me I'm not being fair to their granddaughter, %26amp; her parents wishes.

I refuse to even think about gettign that little brat anything for her bday, because she dosnt deserve even a card. Plus, my son thinks that if his cousin can act %26amp; talk like that its ok.

Also I heard last year on her bday, she got a IPOD, MP3 player, sterio, bike, roller blades, a trip to see MT. Rushmore. And then to top it off, she got to go to Disney World!! And this was all from grandparents!

LOL. I would send the girl's mother a $50 note of Monopoly money and instruct her to buy herself a clue with it.

What goes around does come around and these parents are going to be paying for increasingly expensive presents to buy this child's affections. But that doesn't mean that you have to buy into the farce if you choose not to.

The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'

It says I need not clean my room,

Don't have to cut my hair

No one can tell me what to think,

Or speak, or what to wear.

I have freedom from religion,

And regardless what you say,

I don't have to bow my head,

And I sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,

And pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.

I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,

Get tattoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,

I'll charge you with a crime.

I'll back up all my charges,

With the marks on my behind.

Don't you ever touch me,

My bod y's only for my use,

Not for your hugs and kisses,

that's just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,

Like your Mama did to you.

That's nothing more than mind control,

And it's illegal too!

Mom, I have these children's rights,

So you can't influence me,

Or I'll call Children's Services Division,

Better known as C.S.D."

Mom's Reply and Thoughts

Of course my first instinct was

To toss him out the door.

But the chance to teach him a lesson

Made me think a little more.

I mulled it over carefully,

I couldn't let this go.

A smile crept upon my face,

he's messing with a pro.

Next day I took him shopping

At the local Goodwill Store..

I told him, "Pick out all you want,

there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.

I've called and checked with C.S.D ..

Who said they didn't care

If I bought you K-Mart shoes

Instead of those Nike Airs.

I've canceled that appointment

To take y our driver's test.

The C.S.D. Is unconcerned

So I'll decide what's best. "

I sa id "No time to stop and eat,

Or pick up stuff to munch.

And tomorrow you can start to learn

To make your own sack lunch.

Just save the raging appetite,

And wait till dinner time.

We're having liver and onions,

A favorite dish of mine."

He asked "Can I please rent a movie,

To watch on my VCR?"

"Sorry, but I sold your TV,

For new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,

You'll take the couch instead.

The C .S.D. Requires

Just a roof over your head.

Your clothing won't be trendy now,

I'll choose what we eat.

That allowance that you used to get,

Will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,

Dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.

Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',

It's in effect today!

Hey hot shot, are you crying,

Why are you on your knees?

Are you asking God to help you out,

Instead of C.S.D..?"

Joke: Things you learn in life!(U HAVE 2 READ THIS!)?

2009-07-31T04:24:00.001-07:00

Things I've Learned from My Children

1. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

2. A 3-year-old is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

3. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a large room.

5. When using the ceiling fan as a baseball bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year-old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year-old man says they can only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.

10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a six-year-old.

11. "Play-Doh" and "microwave" should never be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCRs do not eject PB%26amp;J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. foot house 4 inches deep.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise in a moving car.

18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

21. Cats spit up twice their body weight when dizzy.

Please!i need to know what movie is this!!!!!!!!!!!?

2009-07-31T04:24:00.000-07:00

i dont know if it is the wizard of oz or not.and i guess it is an old story.but still,the movie is not in black and white and it is very enjoyable to watch.

in that movie,it has the tin man which a girl has to spin something at its back so that it can move again,

and then she discovers a castle where there's this wicked lady whose always changing heads.and the girl that was trapped in a room build something and sprinklesome powder so that it can fly??

and the men/soldiers of the queen have legs like roller blades.

if it is indeed the wizard of oz,which one??

there are many movies of wizard of oz right??

please!!

i need to know what movie is this!!!

free ten marks for the right title!

Please!i need to know what movie is this!!!!!!!!!!!?
...that was Disney's 1985 very dark fantasy/adventure, "Return to Oz"; it was based upon author L. Frank Baum's second and third Oz books, 'Ozma of Oz' and "The Marvelous Land of Oz', though the writers of the film took several liberties when paring down the two stories into the film's screenplay (...for instance, in the original stories, Princess Ozma WAS helplessly enchanted, but was turned into a boy named Tip by the witch Mombi, with no knowledge of his previous life; at the end of the story, Tip's true identity was revealed, and he resigned himself to be magically transformed back into a princess...which might have been just a tad bit too contraversial for Disney to depict, on one of their family-friendly productions)...
Reply:I don't know what that is, but it's not the Wizard of Oz, even though it sounds similar.
Reply:big story
Reply:Not sure what that is. It is not the original Wizard of Oz.

Might be the one later version the Wiz.

Who here thinks that curling is an underrated sport?

2009-07-25T17:52:00.001-07:00

It's like bowling on roller blades with the strategy of football and the humility of baseball.

The sport also requires strong abs.

Who here thinks that curling is an underrated sport?
i find curling is pretty boring to watch. it might be fun to do and stuff, i just think its very useless. just my opinion

At what speed is Bill moving?

2009-07-25T17:51:00.003-07:00

Margie (of mass 49 kg) and Bill (of mass 69 kg), both with brand new roller blades, are at rest facing each other in the parking lot. They push off each other and move in opposite directions, with Margie moving at a constant speed of 14 ft/s.

At what speed is Bill moving? Answer in units of ft/s.

At what speed is Bill moving?
Since the momentum that Margie picks up has to be equal to Bill's momentum, set the two equal to each other and solve for the unknown. All you need to do now is find out what the formula for momentum is and plug in the values you know...

Help!! i really need it?

2009-07-25T17:51:00.002-07:00

Help please!!?

2009-07-25T17:51:00.001-07:00

you are on roller blades on top of a large hill. Your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules. The last time you checked your mass was 60kg.

a. what is your weight in newtons?

b. what is the height of the hill?

c. if you start skating down this hill, your potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the hill, your kinetic energy will be equal to your potential energy at the top. What will be your speed at the bottom of the hill?

2.A 1kg ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the ball have?

b. how much potential energy does the ball have when it reaches the top of its ascent?

c. how high into the air did the ball travel?

Help please!!?
Hints

1a F=MA

A is just g

force is your weight

1b Energy = force times displacement

displacement is height of hill

1c KE = 1/2 MV^2 rearrange to V = SQR[2KE/M]

2a 1/2 MV^2

2b Since it stops at the top it has no KE. Since energy is conserved, KE converted to PE

2c see 1b

Find speed?

2009-07-25T17:51:00.000-07:00

You are on roller blades on top of a hill. Your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules. The last time you checked, your mass was 60 kg.

a. What is your your weight in newtons? ( I got 588N )

b. What is the height of the hill? ( I got 16.7 meters )

c. If you start skating down this hill, your potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. AT the bottom of the hill, your kinetic energy will be equal to your potential energy at the top. What will be your speed at the bottom of the hill?

Find speed?
a) you are correct with g=9.8

b) 588*h=1000

1.7 meters

c) 1000=.5*60*v^2

5.77 m/s

===============
Reply:a) w = mg

w = 60kg x 9.80 m/s^2

w = 588 N ANS

b) P.E.g = mgh

1000 J = 588h

h = 1000 J/588 N

h = 1.7 m (Are you sure the P.E. = 1000 joules?)

c) P.E.g = K.E.f

1000 J = (1/2)(588/9.8)(Vf)^2

Vf = sqrt[1000J/(1/2)(588/9.8)]

Vf = 5.8 m/s ANS

teddy boy
Reply:a. 588 N is correct

b. PE = m*g*h therefore h = (PE) / mg = 1.7 meters

c. We know that PE = KE

Since PE = mgh and KE = 1/2 mv^2

we have

mgh = 1/2 mv^2

cancel the 'm's

gh = 1/2 v^2

solve for v

v = sqrt (2gh) = sqrt (2*9.81*1.7) = 5.77 m/s
Reply:Energy and work are basically the same thing.

a) Weight is force of gravity on you. So:

Fg = mg

= 60 * 9.8

= Some number

b) Height of the hill. Eg = mgh

Eg is gravitational potential energy, m is mass, g is 9.8, and h is height.

h = Eg/mg

h = 1000/(60 * 9.8)

h = Some number

c) Ek = Eg

Ek = 1/2mv^2

v = sqrt(2Ek/m)

Ek is kinetic energy. Since all of your potential E is converted to kinetic, equate Ek = Eg and solve for v.
