Hello, i have a powder blue dwarf gourami, he is a male, and is in need of a mate. All i can find is a female dwarf gourami for him, im wondering if thats ok? (he’s the same size, all the smae things, except he is POWDER BLUE dwarf gourami and she is just plain dwarf gourami)

Can this work?

Thanks alot, i really appriciate any help!


yes, i should be fine. I’m not a fish-expert, but if dogs can breed and they’re not the same kind (like a Dachshund and Chihuahua for example), fish should be able to, too

In Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 (1993), is it true that Baby Godzilla is Fire Rodan's half-brother?


Yes
"Also making a reappearance is Rodan (who the English dub makes it sound more like Radon ). Again, someone who’s typically an enemy actually has more of a mixed role here. He (I call him a "he" since he was supposed to be the half-brother of Baby Godzilla"

What kind of lens should I buy?
I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and I want to get a new lens. Right now it has the lens it came with, but I feel like it doesn’t take as clear shots as I want it to. I also don’t like that when I get really close to an object it can’t focus on it to make it clear. So I think I’m looking for a zoom lens that can do nice macros but also can take a good picture from far away. Any suggestions? I’m also not looking for something too expensive, maybe something like 100-300?

Thank you!!


usually the kit lenses are goo lenses, as long as you know what you are doing and can accept the imperfections…

what are you looking for??? prime lens??? telephoto??? or a "one does all"??? 18-200mm might be what you are looking for… look for a sigma or tamron for lower cost..

Does my crush like me? (in your opinion)?
Okayy well I like love this guyy and I am wondering (in your opinion) if you think that he likes me! I also wanna know what I could do to let him know I like him without actually telling him.. basically what could I do to flirt but be subtle.

Heres what he does:
1.When we play football it ALWAYS turns into wrestle Shelby for the football.. me and him wrestle-like in the grass for the football rolling around on top of each other.
2. He barely stepped on my finger but I pouted to see his reaction and when I got up I sofly whispered my finger hurts and he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me and said I’m sorry.
4. I had me arms wrapped around him from behind trying to tackle him during football and then his mom pulled up in her truck and called him over and he wouldn’t let my arms go. He used his arms to keep my arms wrapped around him.
5. His friends took my camera and they wanted to play football but they wouldn’t play without him so I held him hostage with my arms wrapped around him and he didn’t resist and try to get away. He just stood there and walked with me.
6. I was sitting in my friends drive way when all of the sudden my friend say "here comes ******" so I quickly peek behind me and then act like I don’t see him.. then about a min. later he rolls over my back/shoulder then lands in my lap. He also jumps on my back when im not looking.
7. He went to high five my friend but she wouldn’t high five him so I high fived him and then he playfully hit my head so I playfully hit him back and then he smiled and then I started to chase after him but this one chick who also likes him kept giving me this dirty look so I stopped flirting with him before she said something.
8. When this guy Brad said me and ******* said we should go out he didn’t say anything but I said "no" because I don’t want my group of friends to know I like him."
9. When my friend said for me to kiss ****** he just looked at me and didn’t say anything.. but I really didn’t see his facial expression.
10. He shows off ALOT!(: this one time when I came over he said "shelby look at this" and then he kicked this christmas candy cane decoration up into the air really high!
11. and finally he always picks me to be on his team even though he knows I don’t do anything and could possibly make him lose even though he is really competitive and likes to win.

Please tell me if you think he likes me! oh and please tell me if you got any tips! thank you!(:
10pts for the best answer! I promise!(:


He likes you and he sounds adorable!
Britney | Feb 01, 2010


In my opinion he definitely likes you. Just half of the things you mentioned would have probably been enough to convince me so. When you’re talking to him some time just try and bring up the fact that you like him and see how he responds, find out if he done any other activities besides football and ask if he would like to do them with you sometime. Compliment him sometimes but not too often, whatever you can. Good Luck =)
someone | Feb 01, 2010


He definitely likes you.
Lady | Feb 01, 2010


This is cute :)
I’d try texting him or talking if you’re comfortable with it a confident, and be like, "so i sorta like someone…" if his reaction seems promising, say "yeah but I am sorta friends with the guy…" and then procede to either continue describing him till he guesses that it is him, or just tell him it’s him!!! Good luck!!!!!!

Christinas, will you agree to course correction?
happy holiday
and, blessed family gathering,
let me point some facts
there ARE true line still of all prophets aka the Straight Path
christmas was pagan holiday of sun,
we were born sinless:
Ezekiel18:
17 He withholds his hand from sin [c]
and takes no usury or excessive interest.
He keeps my laws and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.

19 "Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live. 20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.
early Christianity was correct:
http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind ex;_ylt=At9fEqSs1WZDQ8.LxD6ZOqezFQx.;_yl v=3?qid=20091222114855AAsZaEv
Saint Stephan was murdered by paul and his gang
then, the followers of Jesus were forced to follow paul
Mark10: Jesus taught salvation by submission to the Law,
Jesus said he was prophet, said 19 times= follow me, and, in Matthew15 that he was sent to Jews only, and, in John 16= a prophet to follow him


Nicely said, I totally agree with you. Good quotes from the Bible by the way Jesus was a prophet for how can he be God when He died and God does not die. Also God has no sons and is in no need of sons is he not the almighty so can he not forgive sins? Is not one of the 10 commandments the one that says you are to worship one God yet we find Christians worshipping Jesus and God or just Jesus like I used to before I became Muslim. I’m not here to judge Christains but please study the Bible more it accuses itself as to what falsehood is in the Christain religion may. Islam believes in all Prophets from Adam(AS) to Muhammah(SAW) and we also believe in Jesus(AS) as prophet.
We believe in one God the true God who there is nothing like or comparable to him in fact he is so grand that words fail and everything fails to describe him. If God had a body than that means he could die because bodies die, and get sick, and hurt so please people really think, and may Allah(SWT) arabic name for God guide u to the truth.

St Stephen was killed by Roman pagans not by St. Paul.Also the true faith is the Church founded by Christ Himself which indeed is the Catholic religion
denise t | Dec 25, 2009


Yes, I will agree,but as you can see, it may take thousands of years for all to agree.
General D. Ypsilanti | Dec 25, 2009


M.S. — I am agnostic, not really Christian, but I think most Christians will NOT accept a "course correction" from Muslims.

I would imagine the same is true the other way around: I believe most Muslims will NOT accept a "course correction" from Christians. Not if Christians ask you to give up beliefs that you think are central to your faith.

I wonder if it would be more useful to ask what Muslims & Christians can both agree on. Or better still, what Muslims, Christians & Jews can all agree on.

Or even better than that — what all people of good will can agree on.

I’m not saying you should abandon Islam, or that the Christians should abandon Christianity, or the Jews or Hindus or Buddhists should abandon what they believe.

But might it be possible for each of us to encourage all the others in following the good — for example, in embracing certain values such as righteousness & mercy that people of many different religions would agree are sacred?

how many of you people think that they should air another kim possible movie where she is pregnant?
they could call it the pregnant sitch or something clever like that and they could start a whole new season for you guessed it nine months kim and ron having a baby good idea or bad idea


bad idea.

Like how can she do all her kung fu stuff while shes preggo? She just graduated from HS too, and theyre not even married. And how would ron and kim look now?! If ever disney ever asccepts to do this, they should prolly do a version where theyre old and die in the end.

But still, I like your imagination. Besides, seeing Kim giving the baby and ron holding her hand would look real good. Keep it up, youll never know.

Would you care to rate my lyrics? Need opinions.?
i wrote these new lyrics.
me and my band already got started with the most important instrumental parts for the song.
read my lyrics (please) and tell me what you think about them. also, the song is going to be screaming all the way, similar to job for a cowboy and as blood runs black.

Everyone Must Die

locked inside their coffins,
buried six feet deep,
they will hear my calling cry
that will make them see the light.

they’ll take back all they said
and regret they ever harmed us.
so sink your teeth inside them,
take in all their blood.
bring the worst upon them,
not just their demise.

Chorus: on this night,
everyone must die!
the graveyard’s grounds will lift
as the rousing decayed breathe.
and tombstone’s words will fade
for lacking any meaning.
yes, tonight,
everyone must die!

sever their skin apart,
feed off their insides.
gouge those eyes out,
there’s no room for crying.
pull out their jaws,
dismember the limbs.
break their faces open,
they’re disgusting to the sight.
grant our victims death,
motherfuckers need it early.

[Chorus]

rise! rise! kill them all, they’ve ruined us!
rise! rise! kill them all, they’ve ruined us!
rise! rise! kill them all, they’ve ruined us!
rise! rise! dirty bastards fucked us up!
erase their exsistence,
they never deserved it.

[chorus] (sung differently at the end)
on this night,
everyone must die!
the dead are wide awake,
starving after a long sleep,
craving all the fresh flesh,
pissed off wanting revenge.
yes, tonight,
everyone must die!

liked them? thanks for reading!
To Adrian: the song is metal, i’ll be doing all the growling and screaming vocals.

Domestic violence/Mental child abuse?
I’m an Asian teen, and I’ve been wondering if my mother has been receiving domestic abuse. If she is, how do I fix this all up?and my brother and I aren’t doing much better either.

My dad has always been stingy with the money. All my mom’s friends [she doesn't have very many anymore...she told me my dad's coldness distanted her friendships] say so, along with my non-blood related aunt on dad’s side, and others that know my mom well. My mom’s a housewife and stays at home taking care of me and my brother. I know she hates her life, and the only reason she’s staying is for the sake of me& my brother[she told me], otherwise she would have returned to my grandma/grandpa’s house a long time ago. My dad doesn’t let us spend much money on extra stuff when he had a job [he got laid off a while ago], and he’s a total momma’s boy. I know, because ever since he got laid off, he calls his mom EVERYday and listens to the goddamned woman’s complaints and blathers. My grandparents on my dad’s side have had 2 caretakers, and BOTH of them quit; I’ve met both of the caretakers and they’re very nice according to me and all my relatives that have met them…but my gradnparents are jsut picky[mostly my grandma-you may say she's a lonely old lady, but I think she's a whiny b*tch]. Basically, my dad’s a control freak and a momma’s boy, I’ve witnessed many people saying that [behind my dad's back, of course] , which is not a very nice combination. My mom told me to never marry someone stingy and mean like my dad [no idea why they married in the 1st place-]

I’ve suggested divorce and for me & my brother to go to adoption agencies, but she says no. Help?

Oh, and my dad constantly insults me, and lately he’s been threatening me to get out if I don’t recognize him as a relative. Truth to be told, he can burn (BIG empasisis on burn) in hell for all I care since he’s jobless and there’s no need for him to be around. Say I’m cold, but just because he’s not happy doesn’t give him any right to threaten me-he’s never been nice and friendly like all my friends’ dads..he used to, when I was younger[like when i was 5], but not anymore. I am barely allowed to go to movies with my friends, and he discourages me from going to social stuff, like shopping w/ friends, and is "conservative" [AKA stingy, barely spends money on stuff] I want to report him to the authorities, but I’m worried about my future-and my mom. I want to stay @ the high school I’m at, graduate, and go to a good college-without him in my life.

Any advice? And if this got taken to court, what would happen to me/my brother/my future?


I truly do feel for you. Being in a situation like this has to be tough. Believe me I know. You have to put on a happy face for school and friends, and then when you get home, sometimes it is just hell. However, your situation is not really classified as domestic abuse. Your father is in no way physically abusing your mother. He is out of work..but his being stingy would not be considered abuse unless he is truly depriving you of your basic needs. I don’t mean to undermine your problem, but I am just offering the "court" viewpoint. On the other hand, this type of situation cannot be judged by an outside. We don’t know your father’s personality, or just how bad he may make your life. Maybe he isn’t nice or friendly because he is out of work. Truth be told, he IS your father. My father says the coldest things to me: "Your useless. I never want to see your face again. You cause all the problems in the house." –and believe me, there has been MUCH worse. But I would never wish for him to burn in hell. You said he was nicer when you were younger. If you offer him your support, maybe let him know exactly what is bothering you, maybe he’ll change. Explain just how bad he is affecting your lifestyle. Throw in some tears, cry! Get the sympathy from him that you deserve. If your mom is honestly in a situation that is psychologically harming her to the point of no return, a divorce is possible. Coming from an asian family myself, I know this is a type of faux pa. Your mother will ALWAYS do what is best for you. She may deny your idea for the divorce because she is so concerned about you and your brother. Whatever you do, DO NOT go to an adoption agency. You have loving parent(s). Move in with your mom if your dad and her end up getting separated. Just remember, there are people out there who are suffering a great deal in PHYSICALLY abusive situations. Don’t do anything you will regret for the rest of your life, and act selfishly on the behalf of your brother and your mom. Hang in there, I hope everything works out for you:]<3.

I don’t think this is domestic violence (or abuse) but your dad sounds like a miserable person. Stinginess is not against the law but it is a terrible way to have to go through life. Just remain close with your mom and it might be a good idea to see a therapist. Good luck.
