That&#039;s why atrocities like these happen: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=7557222 Wed, 13 May 2009 08:11:58 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6482184 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6480664 I got an ectopic pregnancy and was operated on,my right tube was removed,is it true that when one of the tubes is removed,one produces only one single sex?<br /><br />No, that&#039;s completely false. The gender of a baby is determined by the man&#039;s sperm. An egg carries an X chromosome, and the man&#039;s sperm can carry an X or a Y. XX= girl XY= boy.

You don&#039;t wake up on your 20th birthday with the new found ability to fall in love.

The US doesn&#039;t care how many times you get married, it&#039;s the first one that counts. That means that you need to apply for a K3 visa for her. There&#039;s no way they would adjust her status if she comes on a tourist visa, they&#039;d simply look and...

If her throat is so sore she&#039;s having difficulty swallowing water, you&#039;re probably not going to be able to do that much, except perhaps take her back to the doctor. In the UK you can buy paracetamol tablets from the pharmacy which dissolve in water, she might...

I don&#039;t care whether you believe snowmen come to life, Jesus died to save humanity, pigs fly, or that homosexuality is wrong. You&#039;re entitled to your beliefs. But unfortunately, many (very vocal) Christians do not feel the same way with regards...

If I tell you will you still eat it?<br /><br />Many foods contain gelatin, which is what the skin and bones are called. There are some types of vegetarian jello, though I find it almost impossible to locate in the US. In the UK, just about anywhere sells it.

Your thoughts?<br /><br />How would they know if they were an illegal immigrant? Asking for proof of residency before treating somebody seems a tad unrealistic and impractical.

Everybody believes his story that says he watched me fall down the stairs. The police refuse to even question him. What should I do?<br /><br />The kids in your class beat you up and nobody believes you, your parents abuse you and nobody believes you, your teachers bully you, you suffer from fibromyalgia, borderline schizophrenia and you&#039;re bipolar ... your life really is just one long tragedy eh?

While my husband and i were engaged he cheated on me. He already has a daughter with her. We were broke up for one day. what should do<br /><br />Wait and see what the results are? Nothing has changed in your circumstances, not yet anyway. If he is the boy&#039;s father, then you might want to re-evaluate the situation.

I took 1 at 7am, and it's 10pm. I really need 1 now. Is it safe?<br /><br />The instructions on over the counter drug packages are usually extra cautious. I&#039;m pretty sure you won&#039;t suffer adverse effects if you take one more now. If you swallow a boatload of them or take more than the recommended dose regularly, you might run into problems.

But surely if you can't help being gay then thats just the way god made you so it's not your fault? thoughts<br /><br />The Bible says a lot of stuff is wrong. It says a rapist should buy his victim from her father for 50 shekels. It condones slavery. It condemns homosexuality and says homosexuals should be killed. The Bible was written by man a long time ago. That&#039;s not to discount everything in the...

I just don't understand how my parents can do this to me.<br /><br />If you&#039;re being abused, tell somebody you trust. Tell a teacher at school, call the police, call social services (Google their contact info. for your area).

I think it&#039;s healthy and good to have a variety of opinions about a topic, but if a question is presuming a belief in God, and you&#039;ve got nothing valuable to add to that, then don&#039;t bother trying. Some people think it&#039;s a sign of insecurity, that if...

It seems they are all artsy farsty, vegan feminists, who really annoy me. I think I am destine to be single because I cannot bare the whole process of hanging out with them to meet anyone. Is this normal/bad?<br /><br />Unless you change your attitude, I agree you&#039;ll probably be single for a while. I certainly wouldn&#039;t date anyone, male or female, if they said they hated all other lesbians or heterosexuals... they&#039;ve already stereotyped me before we&#039;ve started a relationship.

As far as I&#039;m aware, the country I come from requires that if somebody is named on a birth certificate, they&#039;re there to sign it.

I remember sobbing when I was 10 years old because I felt so fat, and to be fair, I wasn&#039;t skinny but I wasn&#039;t really fat either. Losing a bit of weight did me no harm.

Do you give permission?<br /><br />Of course, assuming her date isn&#039;t a drug dealer or something. An 18 year old is an adult, and completely capable of making his or her own decisions about their relationships, sex life and contraception. It&#039;s none of my business.

And eating plants wasn't an option, because you couldn't tell if certain plants were poisoness or not?<br /><br />I don&#039;t know. Morally, I&#039;m not opposed. I&#039;m a vegetarian, and I believe that people who can afford to be vegetarian should be, but if a poor family has to rely on food banks needs meat, I don&#039;t see a problem with them eating it. Likewise, it&#039;s ridiculous to suggest that a...

Unfortunately, it seems to be the dying song of someone who&#039;s clearly misinformed and has (usually) lost a debate but can&#039;t admit it. Obviously these people need a lesson in biology and ethics. Humans are a lot more like cows than cows are like...

She is adamant about it and says it is either them at the wedding or her. I am afraid my brothers will not come if I don't invite their wives. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?<br /><br />It depends why she&#039;s so adamant about your sisters in law not attending. If there&#039;s been tension in the past or the sisters in law have shunned your fiancee, then it&#039;s perfectly reasonable that she would refuse to let them go -- I don&#039;t think her behaviour in that situation is...

Blistex medicated ointment does wonders and helps my lips heal quickly and stay healed, it&#039;s much better than Chapstick or other lip balms I&#039;ve used.

You need to decide whether you can live with him and be happy, as he is now. It&#039;s no use trying to change him. Passion can&#039;t really be manufactured, and if you push too hard he&#039;ll probably resent you anyway.

So depending what she did, it might be that you can never trust her again. I spoke to someone who&#039;s husband has cheated on her, and she told me...

I have no idea what to say to her. What are your opinions?<br /><br />I think it&#039;s ridiculous that so many people seem to think a stay at home mom includes working (or rather, being idle) 24/7, and includes running around after the father too.

Staying isn&#039;t fair to you or him, you&#039;re both missing out on the opportunity to find someone you do love and who loves you back.

She told me all about her troubled childhood - abusive father, no friends - and then told me I was her BFF and that I could never leave her! What do I do?<br /><br />I&#039;d forget about it, for now. Being drunk makes people behave in all sorts of strange and embarrassing ways. If you&#039;re unhappy with her coming in drunk, you could ask her to stay at a friends if she&#039;s intoxicated. I&#039;d be more inclined to just lock myself in my bedroom though....

My lady does not feel that I can give her 100%, if I still love my deceased wife. I feel there is room for both of them in my heart, that I can love in the now and cherish the past.<br /><br />Yes, you can. You don&#039;t stop loving somebody just because they die. However, I can understand how your current wife might feel upset by this... but she should never have married you if she couldn&#039;t deal with it.

Seriously, she&#039;s 31 years old. Give her 30 days written notice that she has to leave. If she doesn&#039;t voluntarily move out, put her stuff outside and change the locks.
