• I find it difficult to understand the Bible
  stopandsmelltheroses... ...dozens of things in the bible are inconsistant :) Some parts of the new testament say one thing - others, another. Depending on which version you read (king james? new international?) you get different meanings from the...
  
  
• If Warren Buffett says the US is in recession, does that make it so
  I'd agree. The economy does seem to be headed into a tailspin or at least a bit of a recession.
  
  
• How do this Reverend and his wife pull demons out of people? (0%)
  They do this by a trick called "pulling wool over your eyes"...there are a lo of religious leaders that do this. "Speaking in tongues" as an example, what are they saying? Did they record it, and can they prove that they were really speaking another...
  
  
• What's your favorite fairy tale?
  Favorite fairy tale? I think I like the "sword & the stone" if that counts, the disney one.
  
  
• Who stood in line for Halo 3?
  "I think the ads don't give you any reason to buy it". That ad with the plastic figurines makes me think the game is riding on the popularity of the last two in the series, and not doing something original.
  
  
• Bush wants war, not health care for poor children
  I don't know quite where to begin with this one. I read that 9 billion dollars of tax payer money went missing in Iraq just last week. I have a hard time believing that's OK while paying for children's health insurance is not OK.
  
  
• How do I go on without ever catching a break? (100%)
  Well, I've been bankrupt. Twice. With a kid to buy food for (which I couldn't) and couldn't find a job either. There are agencies - tons of them - that will help you out if you need it. Get help from those social services agencies, and focus on what...
  
  
• Who will win the 20 World Cup Final?
  I don't watch much sports, but my guess...the country who wants to win more ;)
  
  
• Why isn't there a FunAdvice community on Orkut?
  Um, well - FunAdvice has a groups feature: http://www.funadvice.com/group/all And, you can communicate in more ways with people here, on FunAdvice, than you can on Orkut. Though if you're obsessed with them...by all means, hang out there :)
  
  
• Brand new site, can you let me know if you see bugs?
  Hm, somebody said you can't edit your answers when you add them. Is that true? If so, you should add an "edit" feature for people like me who can't spell.
  
  
• How can I get my older sister to treat me better?
  For a few years (literally) I didn't talk to my bother. However, we get along reasonably well now. We're much closer in age than you & your sister are, however, with family it can be hard, no matter what you do. "You can choose your friends, but you...
  
  
• Is this a good size?
  HI there! There is this incredible "site search" in the upper right hand corner of the page...looking for some of the obvious questions "eg, is my $$$ normal?" or "is it normal to have a $$$?". Then you'll find out yep, it's pretty normal. The ni...
  
  
• What does it mean when a hamster cries?
  It means they are upset, and might need: food cleaning water OR if none of the above, check to see if they have a temperature or are sore in any spots. Even if they aren't, you might consider calling a veterinarian to get a professional opinion.
  
  
• Do horoscopes come true? (100%)
  Sometimes, I've read one & it seemed very accurate. Perhaps it was the way they put things, all general & non specific, that made me think they were on something. Er, on to something. However, it's also highly dependent on your interpretation, if yo...
  
  
• Are there any work outs that will boost my stamina?
  All of the above.
  
  
• How should you give two weeks notice? (100%)
  One time, when I left a job, I waited till payday & didn't give notice. The company had fired a few people on the spot in the past when they had given notice, so I didn't feel like I owed them anything. Another time, I worked for a company that I wa...
  
  
• Is it possible to read minds?
  I've read something in live science's site that suggests it's possible to learn how to read minds or that we can do it "naturally". lol. However, I don't think it's really possible. If it was, I'd make my wife happy 24*7 and never get yelled at ;)
  
  
• who wrote rip van winkle?
  Washington Irving wrote rip van winkle.
  
  
• Would blonde hair suit me?
  Imho, dye jobs always look bad, unless they are done by a colorist with good experience from a high quality salon. If you do get it done, they also offer consultations when you go in for your hair coloring appointment, so I'd strongly recommed asking w...
  
  
• What if my Mom watches me shower and makes me uncomfortable?
  Ok man, talk to her about it. Tell her your uncomfortable, and it should pass. Otherwise, it might continue to be an issue, and could grow into something you'll need therapy for later on, if you continue to have this fear, if it's warranted or not.
  
  
• How can I add video on Dreamweaver?
  What I'd do: embed the HTML code from youtube into my dreamweaver template (I use dreamweaver to build pages too when I'm building one) and then that way you can embed the flv file into your page before you upload, preview, and test locally. The youtub...
  
  
• What is this story called?
  Hm, I don't know if anybody would be able to give you the name of the work & author. With a book that's potentially forty years old...well, even people that read it when it was published or popular might not know any details. Sorry :(
  
  
• Is anyone interested in this business?
  You didn't mention where it was located ;) From what I've read here, there are members from all over the world. From past experience, it's hard to find a "good" business partner that you're compatible with. In a way, it's almost like finding a good ...
  
  
• How can I lose 30lbs by the end of June?
  Watch what you eat, do lots of cardio exercise, and drink plenty of water. Also consult with a physical trainer or join a gym if you can. But the most important thing is a very strict diet high in whole grains, veggies, and fruits, with a moderate amou...

  Relax, for some, it happens later than others. Enjoy life & don't worry over things you can't control, honestly. You'll be far happier that way. Cheers, Steve

• Would anyone be interested in a writing contest? (100%)
  I don't know if that's enough money to bait the hook...lunch costs five bucks really. If you want people to get excited, it might take more money. Also, take a look at what helium.com has done...they've attracted a growing pool of aspiring writers, ...
