There are no short cuts, and there's nothing that will strengthen you fingers for playing faster than actually playing. Also, practicing regularly is better than practicing now and then. Practicing 10 minutes a day will do more for you than practicing an hour every 6 days. To...

The Federal Communications Commision (FCC) in the United States passed regulations requiring that 95% of all cell phones in use in the USA be 911 locatable by December 31, 2005. To be 911 locatable, the phone must have some form of GPS active. That...

Missing one or two pills increases the chances that you will get pregnant, but it's impossible to say how much. You can get pregnant as soon as you stop using this birth control, and a measurable number...

I am uncomfortable with this and told him but he doesn't want to stop. Will he ever stop talking to her? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/66625 We are in a intense casual relationship, and he has a 2 year long phone relationship with another girl. I am uncomfortable with this and told him but he doesn't want to stop. Will he ever stop talking to her?<br /><br />Maybe, but probably not. If you're not comfortable sharing him this way, you have a problem, because you have to assume he isn't going to change. If you can't accept his phone relationship, you should consider finding a man who respects you enough to make you his one and only.

Will you get mad??<br /><br />No. I make it a practice never to get mad over rumors, gossip, and things people tell me about others. All too often, things get blown out of proportion, taken out of context, or manipulated for reasons I can't understand. Depending on the cirucumstances, I might or might not ask my boyfriend...

There will never be an oil shortage, just more difficulty in tapping it. Is this logical?<br /><br />No. It assumes that oil won't be pumped out faster than it can &quot;regenerate.&quot; To use your analogy of oil being the blood of the earth, let's consider a human who wishes to donate blood. A single pint can be taken regularly without causing distress to most humans, as long as they are...

Probably not. It almost never matters WHY you were going over the speed limit, just that you were. However, if you show up for the hearing dressed fairly nicely and politely offer your side of the story, you may well get a reduction of the fine.

It simple means that the &quot;profit&quot; is channeled into specified uses, rather than treated as actual &quot;profit.&quot; For instance, the money that Goodwill makes is used to support their social welfare... Wed, 14 Jun 2006 15:03:24 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/64470 Answer to did not smoke pot for 10 yrs and took 1 hit may 28. Am I safe to take drug test?

I am 6 1 250lbs.<br /><br />A single hit like that will not register in urine tests for very long. I don't think anyone can say exactly how long it might cause a positive test, but I would hazard to guess that within a week to ten days, you'll probably be safe to take a drug test. As for hair tests, I have no idea...

As for how long it will take once you get off the pill, there are many factors: your age, how long you were on the pill, what pill you were on, whether there are any other factors that might make conception more difficult... and on and on....

It's also pretty hard for the insurgents to pass themselves off as westerners.

However, if your state requires a front license plate, it almost certainly also specifies where it is to be mounted, and inside on the dashboard almost certainly isn't one of the approved locations.

I am not on the pill<br /><br />There's no way to compute the &quot;chances&quot; of you being pregnant. With any luck, you're not pregnant this time, but the fact that you had to ask tells me you engage in sexual practices that will result in pregancy if you don't change your ways. Here's a simple rule of thumb that will...

But his ex now says they're not divorced because she didn't sign.

Also, the judge signed the final decree. I say: divorced.

The TV recently went through a move and was screen down for about 2 hours. Could this have caused this problem? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/64251 My 35" RCA home theatre television has poor color quality on the left and right of the television. The TV recently went through a move and was screen down for about 2 hours. Could this have caused this problem?<br /><br />The best suggestion I have is to make sure there aren't any speakers (or other strong motors/magnets) near the sides of the television. Speakers use magnets that will distort the tv's color if they're placed too closely. Fans will also do the same thing.

Do the cords all connect the same way? My computer is working just fine. I do not need a new one but I want a flat monitor. anything I should look out for when buying just the monitor?<br /><br />You need to know whether your computer's video capabilities will support a flat screen. Depending on how old your &quot;old&quot; computer is, it might have trouble with a flat screen. If you can't contact the computer's manufacturer and ask, you'll need to get someone who knows a bit more...

Now my betta is hanging at the top, not eating and looks like a film is on him. What's wrong?<br /><br />You're going to need to medicate his water to get rid of the film.

First, giving up a 6 year relationship for someone you met a few months ago &quot;through work&quot; is stupid. Especially if you've done nothing to try to resolve the issues in your current relationship. At this point, you need to focus entirely on...
