what are these small yellowish beetles with black spots that are all in my house?
they do not seem to fly. They are on the wood of the sliding glass door, the dining room walls, on the clean clothes in the laundry basket.


They sound like ladybugs (see link, below) and they are actually a beneficial insect, so don’t kill them, just shoo them away and they’ll fly away home. ;-)

Good luck!… O

who’s best?


Although this is a hard one, I actually think they picked right on this one. That rape scene with Jodie Foster..I liked that her character wasn’t necessarily super-likeable. She had issues for sure, but you wanted her to get justice.

meryl streep!
maricar | May 27, 2006


Once again, Meryl Streep. With Sigourney Weaver a close second, maybe tied with Glenn Close.

Monster
Monster (2003)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: A dark tale based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, one of America’s first female serial killers. Wuornos had a difficult and cruel childhood plagued by abuse and drug use in Michigan. She became a prostitute by the age of thirteen, the same year she became pregnant. She eventually moved to Florida where she began earning a living as a highway prostitute—servicing the desires of semi-truck drivers. The tale focuses on the nine month period between 1989 and 1990, during which Wuornos had a lesbian relationship with a woman named Selby. And during that very same time, she also began murdering her clientele in order to get money without using sex. This turned the tables on a rather common phenomena of female highway prostitutes being the victims of serial killers—instead Wuornos, herself, carried out the deeds of a cold-blooded killer.

So, do you think the government can't do anything right?
So, you don’t want the government "running" health care because it can’t do anything right. Facts you missed when you were getting your C in history and civics: the gov inspects your food to keep rat droppings out of it; the gov enforces safety rules for hundreds of devices such as elevators and cars; the gov makes sure doctors have to actually have a degree in medicine; the gov keeps cocaine and heroin from being sold over the counter at the drugstore like it was in the early 1900’s; the gov runs a first class postal system – try sending a letter via UPS if you don’t think so; the gov makes sure airliners fly in regulated lanes to keep them from crashing into each other; the gov make the guy in the other car have car insurance so you can get remuneration if he runs into you; the gov is the reason you have paved roads to wherever you go; the gov has mine safety laws to reduce the large number of deaths that used to occur in mines; the gov makes sure the drugs you take actually have a safe drug in them; the gov runs prisons to keep the monsters of society from victimizing you; the gov runs a first call military; the gov runs first class police; the gov runs first class fire fighting; the gov regulates the electrical industry so you have power in your home.

An old friend, a desperate girl, a smile, a laugh, first time she had fun in a long time. What next?
A long time ago (May 2009) I had a Yahoo account. I got logged off. So, I got a new account. One of my questions were, ”Bob” or ”Bill”? Which boy is right for me? Most people picked ”Bill”. Shortly after that question, I decided to give up on boys. Many months passed, I never smiled or laughed, I was in a deep depression, seven months later, ”Bob” (Connor) came into my mind, should I like him. or not, he destroyed my heart, my life, everything!!! I couldn’t like him again, right??? We were close friends until February 13, 2009, when he was asked if he could go out with me. He said no. Our friendship ended, I still liked him, I mean that was 2 full years of being with CONNOR, no one else, smiling, laughing at the weirdest things! I saw the new Indiana Jones movie for HIM! We walked around the playground talking, telling jokes, etc. Last month one night, I went crazy, crying, hitting my bed, I was mad at Connor, I couldn’t take the loneliness anymore, someone called me a stalker!!! I started liking Connor again. I see him every single Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, we go to the same middle school and church. I told my friends. They were truly shocked! That ”Bill” turned out to be a real jerk. He follows my friend around everywhere, steals, lies, and almost raped a girl my age (12) while playing a horrible game of truth or Dare. Someone asked me, ”Have you ever liked ‘Bill’?”, I had to say yes, because I am a strong Catholic and shouldn’t lie. It’s a huge dread to say I’m Polish, because I am and ”Bill’ is too. Today Connor was joking around with me at CCD (Catholic Bible School), it was fun for me to talk with him. What should I do about connor? Feb. 13 is coming up, to celebrate that terrible day! Oh I’m mad and sad!!! Sorry it’s so long, I had to tell the hole story!!!

My cat can twist its head all the way around?
um i have this gray fluffy cat thing, and it twists its head around when it wakes up or is happy. im seriously not joking. im confused because i don’t think its physically possible for his "neck" to twist around like that without snapping. Also (like me) this fluffy demon seed is twitchy. REALLY TWITCHY. Im the only one who notices it, and it really creeps me out. it literally turns its head all the way around like you see in the movies. he doesn’t tilt his head up or down to make it LOOK like it twisted around. honestly its the nicest cat ever but i scares me.
no one elnse can see it but me im magical…. i wish
its not possessed, i don’t believe in that and that cat is so nice.


Well, you either have a cat that has been imbued with the soulless incarnation of Satan himself…

Or.

You have a young cat. Cats are *extremely* flexible, even in their necks. I had a young Siamese once that could bend her head backward and almost lick and itch on her back. Strange, but normal for most cats. Just be glad it is a nice cat. So many young cats turn into veritable finger-shredders. Best of luck!

You should definately post a video on YouTube or send it in to the Ellen Show. That’s too cool. Your cat could become famous! How cute. I wish my cat could do that. :)

Can someone tell me what I should do? Family problems….?
*repost*

Well for starters I live with a fat lazy aunt, a mean sister, and an unreasonable grandma. Today she offered to buy me new sheets and I said no thanks but she went and got them anyways. My door was locked and I was laying down about to sleep and I didn’t feel like getting up so I said that I’d put them on later. She kept beating on the door and threatening to take down the door. She NEVER lets me have privacy. And she threw the sheets at me and said "Someone tries to do something nice to you and you act like a b*tch, stupid wench" and then slammed the door. She’s been really mean to me ever since my father was murdered (2 years ago) for some reason. And now she’s always threatening me. I’m 13 in 20 days and they treat me like I’m 5 years old and not allowed to be alone for a second. I don’t know what to do. I really want to run away, but where I live, it’s winter time. So I’d probably freeze. Help?

Spoiled little brat? All I have is a laptop that’s at least 3 years old. I wasn’t even being mean to her and she starts it.
11 minutes ago

I have no friends because she made me be homeschooled online so I really don’t have a school counsler.
9 minutes ago

And this also isn’t the only bad thing she’s ever done. She’s picked me up by my feet and threatened to hit me with scissors, she’s slapped me before because i stood up for myself once, and she threatens me most of the time. So yeah. I’m so spoiled.
8 minutes ago.

I reposted this because most of the people were joking and calling me spoiled. This IS a serious question and I’m not spoiled at all. I sit in my room all day and do nothing.
Well, she doesn’t know my dad. She knows me and him were really close. And how the hell am I spoiled when I don’t get to do anything all day, the threatens to hit me, and shes always yelling at me?
I only use this account for serious questions. I have another account with my name on it, so I didn’t want anyone to know who I was or see my questions. If you don’t think it’s real/don’t want to help me, then don’t answer.


you were being ungrateful for not opening your door.

get over yourself and realize that your grandma misses your dad and is trying to the best for you and you’re only 12, she is afraid you’ll be hurt. chill out. by the way you’re talking you are spoiled your don’t appreciate your family for what they are.
Lindsay J | Jan 24, 2010


All kinds of people can ask questions on here. You don’t even let others ready your questions and answers or email you. Why? So I don’t know how serious you are.
But I will assume this is true and feel it may not be.

I see you have a smile on your face in your avatar so you don’t seem to be unhappy at all. On second thought I don’t think you are even sincere.

OMG IS THIS IMPOSSIBLE?!?!?
ok for my school we hav to build a machine thst peels a banana (im in 8th grade) and its supposed to be Rube Goldberg, so if you get the point, it has to be made out of simple machines and it has to keep the banana in tact (that means no squishing it till it comes out) so anyone got any ideas?


I reckon pretty simple – if you use very ripe bananas. It would involve a vacuum – I reckon it’d suck the skin right off.
