Fri, 21 Dec 2007 03:25:08 -0800

Anyone here like horse racing, do you go to the track to watch/bet, what's the most you have won on one race, remember the horses name?

When I was working at Churchill Downs back in 2001, I can remember wanting to bet on several horses. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to and the rule was enforced. I would pick horses by names I liked and I can still remember one in particular. Hocohantas. I wanted to place a $2 to win...

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 06:27:12 -0800

Bi-sexuality among women seems to be more common than it once was. and I'm curious about the reason. Is bisexuality a common female tendency or is it just considered fashionable?

When I first realized I was bi and "came out" back in 93, it wasn't cool. Trust me. Over the years I've seen the taboos diminish greatly. I don't really know if there's a greater tendency amongst females to be bi, or bi-curious, but I think more people are at...

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 06:06:50 -0800

What is your favorite poem?

My favorite is Invictus, by W.E. Henley. I re-read it during hard times. The last two lines have become a motto of sorts for me. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. It's a very empowering poem.

What comic strips see its characters age?

I thought of two more. Funky Winkerbean goes back (at least) until Funky, Les, and a few others were in high school. Now Les is married to Lisa (who, I believe, was the first unwed pregnant teencomic strip character.) Funky was/is an alcoholic, I haven't read the strip in a while. Cindy...

My boyfriend looks at Internet porn. Does this mean he'll cheat on me? Is it normal? And why do they hide it?

Most guys look at porn on the Internet. It doesn't mean that he'll cheat. Of course, it doesn't mean that he won't. I'd have to say it's very normal. As for guys hiding it, most guys I know hide the porn stuff for various reasons. Maybe he doesn't want to...

Answer to Why were female officers in TNG (and DS9, methinks) addressed as "Sir" instead of "Ma'am"?

Wed, 10 Aug 2005 12:53:41 -0700

Why were female officers in TNG (and DS9, methinks) addressed as "Sir" instead of "Ma'am"?

All of the ranks used in Star Trek are based on Navy ranks. The reason for that is because Gene Roddenberry was in the Navy. In the Navy, all officers are addressed as "Sir," regardless of gender (or species, since some aliens may have more or less than 2, in this case.) The...

Answer to Is the Force passed on through blood-lines? If so why would the Jedi Council prohibit sexual relations of the Jedis?

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 07:01:12 -0700

Is the Force passed on through blood-lines? If so why would the Jedi Council prohibit sexual relations of the Jedis?

It's possible the Force is passed through bloodlines. Perhaps there's a predisposition to having a high midichlorian count. I can't provide much insight however, because the only family of Force sensitives I'm aware of (right now) are the Skywalkers. However, the Jedi...

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 08:00:21 -0800

My boyfriend wants us to get married in a Catholic church. I am not Catholic and I am divorced. Can we get married in a Catholic church or is it forbidden?

Most Catholic churches don't have any problem with performing a mixed religion marriage. In fact, when I got married in 2000, the non Catholic partner didn't even have to convert. (They used to only allow/perform the marriage if the non Catholic converted.) I don't think that...

Tue, 16 Nov 2004 13:11:02 -0800

Why do some people gain weight as a result of quitting smoking?

Most sellers ask that payment be received within 10 days after the end of the auction. This is a reasonable amount of time. Usually, they also request communication (e-mail) within 3 days so the buyer can give them information. IE, method of payment, name and address. This also gives the...

What happened to musician Seal that caused the extensive scarring on his face?

I actually wondered the same thing about him when I first saw him. And apparently he's been asked the question many times. According to Seal, the extensive scarring (mainly on his cheeks) was caused by lupus. He had the disease when he was younger (I believe he was around 14) and...

Thu, 29 Jul 2004 07:54:12 -0700

Answer to Can a woman get wet just by thinking about having sex?

Thu, 29 Jul 2004 07:48:49 -0700

Can a woman get wet just by thinking about having sex?

That would be a yes. I don't know if all women do, but I do. So there's at least one who can. The fact is, most females I know get excited and/or wet thinking about sex. But with everything dealing with sex, some things will get some people majorly turned on, and others turned off....

Wed, 28 Jul 2004 20:08:28 -0700

Sat, 24 Jul 2004 08:27:24 -0700

Is it possible to get a ticket for impeding the posted speed limit?

Yes. I know in my state (KY) the rule for impeding traffic is going 15 miles under the posted limit. However, it isn't enforced as heavily as going *over* the limit. Also, police will take circumstances into consideration. For example, if you're driving 25 in a 55 zone because...

We were invited to our family reunion and to stay with my significant other's parents. At the last minute, we were told they "preferred" another couple to us and that we had to make other arrangements. Was this appropriate?

A simple answer: no. If your significant other's parents invited you to stay with them for the family reunion, they should have at least told you to make other arrangements before the last minute. I'm not quite clear on whether the parents told you this themselves, or had someone...

Fri, 09 Jul 2004 06:10:01 -0700

Is it possible to get pregnant from pre-ejaculate?

Is it necessary to have your wisdom teeth removed?

If your wisdom teeth aren't causing any dental problems, then the simple answer is no. It used to be done no matter what. Most of the time now though, if there's room in your mouth for them to grow (normally) in, dentists will leave them alone. If they're growing in crooked, on...

Wed, 30 Jun 2004 07:35:27 -0700

I have seen many new publishings by Christopher Tolkien entitled 'The History of Middle Earth' Volumes 1-12." How are these related to the Lord of the Rings books?

They're related in the sense that they're about the same place. The later books have more of the characters from Lord of the Rings that we know and love. Basically, JRR wrote a lot of stuff about Middle Earth and its inhabitants. He never felt that drafts were good enough. So he...

In a nutshell, it turned out that Peter/Spidey wasn't the clone. Ben Riley was the clone. Once Ben found out, he left New York for another city and became the Scarlet Spider. The Aunt May who died in this storyline was also a clone, I believe. The real Aunt May was held prisoner. I...

Thu, 20 May 2004 22:35:39 -0700

When I tape over something and go back to play it, the image flicks around, but the sound is fine. If I use a new tape, it works fine. What could be wrong?

I've found (over the years) that taping over things tends to wear the cassette down more. Also, the taping quality might come into the equation. Then again, it could just be the tape itself. For instance: One night for a series finale I discovered that I only had a very cheap brand of...
