For any of you that have been cheated on and were unsure of whether to stay or go, do you have any advice on how to get over it?
You need to go go go go go. Keep yourself occupied mentally and physically and that will aid you emotionally. No one deserves to be cheated on. And no one should tolerate it. To remain in the relationship would be rewarding the cheater for doing wrong. Do you think that would be the right and smart thing to do?

Am I the only one who thinks that the saying "Once a cheater, always a cheater" is stupid?
It isn't a stupid phrase, and is accurate depending on how one interprets it. If you cheat, you have cheated and that can't be taken away. Therefore the cheater is a cheater forever, just as in the same case of a liar. Will the cheater ever cheat again? That remains to be seen but I'd say probably, due to human nature.

My mother swears that if she fills up with gas and people are sitting in the car that this somehow affects how much gas goes into the tank. What can I do to convince her this is not true? I'm tired of standing outside the car looking stupid when with her.

You committed a great heist and stole a player from another team. Who did you steal, and why?
I'd steal Jonathan Papelbon and Jason Bay from the Red Sox. Then I'd commit another heist of a Brinks truck so I could afford to pay them...
Actually the MLB Pittsburgh team got the name Pirates because they signed players from other teams and leagues (these were the days before free agency) and technically stole them away.
Great question.

Mel Gibson. The man can be very funny. Whitney Houston is a waste of humanity. Britney Spears does nothing for me at all. I don't need an airhead when I need someone to help me solve a problem.

Answer to:
Would you rather be trapped in a car full of large snakes or tarranchulas?
Tarantulas. They are not aggressive and won't bite unless they are mishandled. If you leave them alone they will leave you alone. If the car has poisonous snakes, their venom is potentially more dangerous than a tarantula's. And snakes can be more aggressive. Even a non poisonous snake will bite sooner than a tarantula.

Did you ever shoot spit balls at school?
I sure did. First you work up a good spit ball with a small wad of paper, then roll it around between your thumb and forefinger, then give it a good fling. Sometimes a soft toss with a slight arc provided more distance with less zing, but more accuracy, like throwing a dart. I was best when someone was doing an oral report. Hitting their chart or paper would usually cause them to lose their...

Once you heard a sound, where does the sound go?
Sound travels until it dissipates and no longer reaches someone or something capable of hearing it. If you hear a sound, it most likely continues to travel to other audio receptors. So you are probably not the last to hear the sound unless you are on the outermost fringe of the wavelength.

What is something that always occurs whenever your relatives come to visit?
My relatives never come to visit. Blessed am I. I no longer go to visit them. I'm twice blessed. Typically somewhere along the line something would be said or done by a sibling to destroy family harmony and for the umpteenth time I'd say to myself ," Why do I subject myself to this?" That has been rectified. My family members are very good people, but not around each other.

What do you do with a neighbour who's s/o beats her and she refuses to leave him but every time he beats her she gets you involved by coming to your house for advice and support asking you to phone the police then she immediately goes back to him.
If you care about her safety, and you obviously do since you continue to help her, you need to continue to try to convince her to leave him. Then she needs to seek protection like a restraining order. Then she needs counseling. She is suffering from battered woman's syndrome. One of the reasons she returns to him is that even though she may not like being battered, she is more comfortable...

You've done very, very, very well, for any age, but especially for someone your age.
