why should you know?

I adopted two pet baby female rats last weekend that were born back in October or so. They will eat oats, tortilla chips, and crasins. I got a bag of rat mix in pellet form, but they aren t willing to touch any of it. Any advice on what to do?

I know that the US has the biggest team in the Beijing Olympics (behind China), as well as the most metals (so far). My question is this: Are their any sports/competitions in specific sports in the ongoing 2008 Olympics that the US does not have a team or individual competing in?

It looks like a freaking fishing worm! Why is it a snake?

I tend to get really bad sunburns on my forehead if I don't wear sunblock. However, I also tend to sweat more through my forehead than any other part of my body (or so it seems), and when I put sunblock on my forehead, it mixes in with my sweat and causes eye irritation at the most inconvenient times. Any suggestions?

It's been going on about a week now. Any ideas as to what I have?

I've never flown on an airplane before in my life, but I'm getting ready to go overseas on a missions trip to Poland and Slovakia, and I leave on the 15th of this month. We're flying out of Salt Lake to JFK where we have a short layover, and then onto Budapest in Hungary, and we fly the same way back... I'm excited, but nervous as heck. What are some security precautious and such I should take while flying and while at JFK (and the other airports).. Anything else i should know?

I'm not a Muslim, but on this campus their is a growing minority of Muslims on this campus, particularly from Saudi Arabia, and I have become good friends with them, as has my sister and some other people I know.

And, as a Christian, I also believe in the principles of prayer, fasting and self-sacrifice for the sake of others and so that God can work through us. All of those principles seem to be reflected in the (Islamic) practice of fasting during Ramadan. A few of my friends from a Christian fellowship (about 20 or so of us) are considering joining with the Muslims on campus and fasting for Ramadan in support of them in addition to the reasons above.

Would my friends, who are Muslims find this offensive and hypocritical or mocking because we're not Muslims, but Christians? Or would they find it supportive and good that we decided to join in with them and support them during and for the fasting in Ramadan?

This May/June, I will be going on a trip to Poland and Slovakia with a college group, and I was wondering what are some things that I could do to get ready.

I seem to develop canker sores every four to six months or so in the bottom of my lips, between my lips and my teeth, and it's a pain. Anything I could do about it?

Is feeling pain the only true way to tell if you are awake or that you exist?

What about the notion/belif that their will be no pain in heaven? Does that mean that in heaven, we won't actually exist?

I borrowed this book "The Best Buddhist Writing 2005" from a Buddist friend of mine, and it had a section in there from the Dali Lama, and he was talking about the emptyness of emotions and the emptyness of mind. I thought it was quite insightful, and I liked it. It really piqued my intrest, and I was able to draw some connections with my Christian belifs.

What do you think of his (The Dali Lama) writings?

I've seen it alot on chatrooms and forums and such, and I used to think it was cool. But now I think it's dumb, because it really doesnt't seem to mean anything.

Chocolate syurp for ice cream.

I'm sick of buying hershey's. That stuff is getting expensive.

I'm just asking hypothetically (for now).

I like her and I've taken a shine to this certian lady, but its not to the "flowers and candy" stage, so nothing overtly romantic. I'm wondering what I should use to give the boxed pen in, and I dont want it to be cheesy (like comics), but I feel that gift bags are over used- and bulky. Any ideas?
