I've slowly lost all of my youthful passions while trying to make a living...why?
You got old.
Old is not a date on a calendar, old is a mindset.
I think too many people get this idea that happiness is found in a large house, a large car, a job that pays too much and forget that real happiness is not found in the toys, but in the boxes that toys come in.

Are caged hamsters who run in circles getting nowhere as happy as other pets that can roam free? How do you measure 'happy' in pets?
I don't think they are has 'happy' - content, whatever they feel stuck in a cage 24/7 with a wheel.

I had my bottom wisdom teeth taken out about a year or more ago, and now they ache, like I'm teething or something. What is causing that?
Most likely since they were pulled they were putting stress on the molars in front of them. Now those molars are moving 'backward' as they have more room.
However there are several other things it could be, such as gum disease/infection - sinus infection, ear infection.

Depends on where the water comes from to your tap.

To manufacture an 8 oz. bottle of Baby Oil, how many babies must be killed & processed?
You can only get about 0.78 ounce of pure baby oil out of a baby. You do have to separate the fat of brat from the oil - which there is more fat of brat than baby oil to your given baby.
Thus you will need 6.24 babies for an 8 ounce bottle of baby oil. But you do end up with nearly a kilo of brat fat.
Brat fat, as all people know, is only of use if it comes from an unbaptized brat, and is...

"Boys" are as affected by these pressures as well, especially with more and more companies advertising thin boys as 'normal'.

Not unless you have direct sunlight on the glasses.
I believe they respond to the UV of the light spectrum, most cars have UV blocker in the windshield. While it doesn't block all of the UV, it does tend to do a good job of blocking most of the reflected UV, thus the glasses are less likely to be exposed to enough UV to darken.

Would you forgive a husband for receiving oral sex from a man because he said he didn't want to cheat on you...he says he is not gay/bi was just needing sex and was really feeling low because of unemployment. can a hetersexual man really go there.
Sexuality is a very, very complex subject. Society and 'tradition' and popular myth has really muddied the waters.
The simplest answer is 'yes' a heterosexual man can go there.
However this is not really a simple issue. There is a lot more under all of this than just his going out and getting a BJ from a guy. There is the matter of the betrayal of trust (cheating) there is his...

Depends on which straight people you are talking about.
If we are talking the ones who are telling you its ok to be gay, and that gays love and can indeed have affirming relationships and all of these other positive and very human connections, they thus speak from experience, human experience.

Does it follow that the bigger the star, the broader the 'Goldilocks Zone'? Or are they all the same size?
It all depends on how hot the star is.

While a giant M Class (Red Giant) can only pump out about under 3,500 - 6,500 Kelvin.
Light is not really an issue either, a 'dim' star can be producing a lot of infrared (heat) at its core and pumping out lots of heat thus its habitable zone based on temperature is...

Answer to:
Are jet skis dangerous to humpback whales?
Dangerous to whales, Not really.
However whales are dangerous to humans, especially if the whale is startled or 'scared' of human activity.
While most whales will dive deep to escape potential threats, a few will actually attack.
While I cannot find a specific whale attack on a jet skier, there are reports of whales attacking swimmers/divers and other vessels.

pls tell me any good exercise to increase height. i am a boy of 16 and hav a height of 5 feet 7.5 inches or so
Height is predominately determined by genetics. To a minor degree your lifelong diet can also have an impact, we see this with Asian people who move to the Western World - westernize and feed their kids a western diet - their children will be several inches taller than then.
That is a life long thing starting at birth.
Other than that there is no way to really change your height beyond surgery.

If are going to do that then we should brand all other forms of mental illness too. After all it is helpful to know who is bipolar, who is depressed too.
The behaviors you have decided to pick on are well known to be part of mental illness. Criminalizing the illness does not treat the illness.

I need Christmas decoration ideas, can you help me please?
When we used to decorate the house for X-mas, we would settle on a theme nearly each year.
Themes we have done:
Old Country Christmas where the tree was hung with apples, ribbon bows, strands of popcorn and cranberry - then we used greenery and ribbons elsewhere. Low usage on lights, all white, but dim.
Then there was the year of the Burgundy - the color, balls and tinsel, set against white...

Is the perpendicularity of a line through the diameter of Earth from the north to south magnetic poles relative to the sun a coincidence?
Neptune is the only planet that 'rolls' on its side in orbit. The rest are tilted slight, but pretty much perpendicular.

How much light does a cannabis seed need to germinate while in soil?
The answer to that is non.
Light does not play into the germination of a seed. Warmth and moisture are the forces that cause a seed to germinate. A seed contains all of the energy needed for a root and the first stem and leaves to appear. Then light kicks in for further growth.
You can start seeds in a dark closet, as long as the temperature is warm enough and the moisture is warm enough.

While for them these things weight millions of tons, for me they are as light as a feather. Far, far easier for me to carry those burdens.

"Wild" not actually wild, but free range, pure turkey stock, not the domesticated breed.
Those scary looking birds are a product of intensive breeding, they are breed for large breasts. Then dosed with hormones, antibiotics and fed a rich diet. To boost the fat content. We try to keep clear of dosed animals on our plate.

Carbohydates - flour, corn, potato, rice... Mind on that flour it should be a wholegrain type in order to get all of the other goodness.
A minor snack with a carb mixed with a minor protein will boost energy and get you over the 'sugar crash' that is most likely the real underlying cause of tiredness.
Splitting meals into 6 smaller meals spread evenly across the day also gives you steady energy.

As such, your 'scenario' can not be logically accepted.

If she has earned more than him, thus keeping him in a life style, then its only fair, and equal, that she cough up alimony.

Depends on the images. Assuming 'bad' thoughts, negative images etc.

If they are true sweatpants, you will not need to hem the material. Sweats do no fray like jeans would.

And the so called 'lack' of moral values and 'increase in violence' is in reality a myth.
The only difference between today and yesteryear is that we do not HIDE it.
If anything there is far less violence than in decades past. Look at the Ancient (Old) West with firefights, shoot outs and saloon brawls. Let along train robberies and the like.
