Answer to:
My sister has a fairly disturbing/convincing photo of a ghost or spirit or something. Is there any way that she could sell it to somewhere to make some money? There are sites that ask for images like this. I am not aware of one that pays. Most ghost hunters do it for fun rather than financial reward. I do believe that there was once a chap who offered a cash reward for definitive proof that there is life after death but I think he must have popped his own clogs because I can't find a trace of him now! You could try selling it to a newsgroup....

What are the chances of getting pregnant if your man pulls out slim to non or highly possible? You can get pregnant without even engaging in full intercourse.

His brother was 14 months before he walked, His sister was 10 months, his other sister 16 months, they're all different. It would be unusual but I also don't think it's impossible.

Sunshine - The Film - Is the science flawed about reigniting a dying star with a bomb?

Lately there have been comments on AB like "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". What ever happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all"? Do you agree with both, neither? Why? I think it's good to be able to agree to differ. In any society there are going to be a number of differing attitudes and opinions.It's unrealistic to expect everyone to agree but it is unnecessary to be pety and small minded with each other also. Things will settle down again, I hope.

What is the hardest thing to explain to a toddler? That one action leads to another. eg. eat your dinner and your dessert will follow, pick up your toys and THEN you can have a bubble bath, put your fingers in the plug and you will be poorly. I've spent an entire day without my two year old, it was the first one for months. I missed her, so I drew on the wall with a crayon.

Answer to:
Are SATs a good measure of knowledge? UK SATs are not very reliable im my opinion. I think they're more an indication of how good the teacher is at implimenting the minimum levels of education. I think teachers, on the whole, do a fantastic job, I just think there must be better ways to judge a child's progress. I particularly don't like the publishing of school league tables.

When you were a kid, was your Dad really bigger than my Dad? My dad had popeye muscles. He wasn't very tall though. He thought he was lovely, he used to lean with one arm out of his car window on summer days, winking at the girls. My mum used to pinch his leg every time he did it. I'm surprised he didn't damage his skin on the one arm and opposite leg with all that winking.

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion? I think we're on seriously shaky ethical ground deciding who has the right to bear children, regardless of the criteria.If her practitioner has not already advised her then I'd be very surprised. I suggest she knows the risks but desperately wants a healthy child (or perhaps she just wants ANOTHER child). I personally don't see that deafness is particularly a disability. I know...

If you are concerned you could see your community nurse/general practitioner who can reassure you.
