  • can i switch from a removable to a fixed retainer?

    so its been 4 years after i had my braces off (which had to be removed early because i was having excessive canker sores) and im still wearing a removable retainer. im supposed to have it in constantly but i still have problems with mouth sores and im a receptionist so i need to be able to talk freely. if i have my retainer out for more than a few hours my one bottom tooth shifts and it hurts. for the past four years.

    i am now considering switching to another orthodontist who could give me a permanent retainer. is that ok to do or is this guy trying to rip me off? im soo tired of having problems with this.

  • hess law problem, i need some help!?

    i understand how its suppose to be done, like make everything on the same side and changes the equations so everything cancels out right. but i just cant figure this one out =[, thanks in advanced.

    at 1 atm and 25 degreese celcius, dimamond changes to graphite so slowely that the enthalpy change of the process must be obtaines indirectly. deterimine the change in heat for

    C(diamond) ----> C(graphite)

    using:

    C(diamond) + o2 ----> co2 delta h -395.4 kj

    2co2 -----> 2co + o2 delta h 566.0 kj

    C(graphite) + o2 ------> co2 delta h -393.5 kj

    2co ----> C(graphite) + co2 delta h -172.5 kj

    my major hold up is not being able to get the C(diamond) and C(graphite) onto opposite sides to get te problem even started =/.

  • do you think this is offensive?

    i had to write a response to a section of reading out of text book for my comparative religion class. well it bothered me how the text defined things in this section it was a brief overview of the term religion and myth, and they made an example of hindus.

    the response i gave the prof was opened with this paragraph:

    Religious: being part of the oppressed masses while conforming to a set of beliefs and practices only to revolt during various states of unconsciousness. The believers goal at hand, to achieve a genuine feeling of reverence. Such phenomena is reviewed broadly, from an aspect of culture, all the way through it being an overvalued illusion. Vital issues and values that are amplified and used as allegorical scare tactics are myths. Sacred cows trigger commitment among Hindus, all the while uniting intellect and emotion, not to mention enshrining the teachings in a tangible way.

    now he is a pastor, and im not entirely sure he likes me. (i was the only person in my class to admit that i didn't believe in a god.) but i keep thinking i offended him by criticizing the text, it was his pick.

    do you think that this is rude? it was a written assignment.

  • Why do you think the government is going to help you?

    in the 80's household debt was 60% of the income

    now its 130%

    people need to take responsibility, and not spend money they don't have, because guess what, the government doesn't have it either.

    you people are fools for thinking the government has to fix the economic situation caused by society. Bush didn't tell you to take on a second mortgage, and Obama isn't going to pay it back for you.

    good riddance.

  • Whats wrong with me, and my life?

    I'm insecure with no religion, but only when people ask.

    I am embarrassed to be in college, because I'm only 16.

    I haven't consumed alcohol or used recreational drugs in over 2 years.

    I have been celibate for 15 months.

    I'm content looking like this:

    http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg230/roxyramon...

    I have 1 best friend, and no desire for friends my age.

    I want to be a pharmaceutical engineer, but I refuse to take pills.

    I work 40 hours a week, and LOVE my job.

    I get along with my rents, until we talk about politics, because im rather conservative.

    I eat an ital diet, because im lactose intolerant and i don't like the taste of most meat, (by no means am i trying to be rasta)

    My savings account is looking pretty fat, and i am happy with what i got.

    I judge people in the privacy of my own head, but it never interferes with my tolerance.

    I like to ride my motorcycle, and live the life I've worked hard to get.

    my goal in life is to be a victim to conformity,

    but right now I feel like a loner because I'm not suffering like everyone else. well, i did break my nail today =/
