What are some methods of preventing delayed-onset muscle soreness when you're training with weights?

There seem to be a lot of random acts of suspension going on lately, and I'm starting to think this whole answers thing was a big mistake... If I get suspended, does it just affect my answering ability, or is my whole yahoo account going to get axed? I wouldn't be able to deal without my email and groups, etc. Is it time to give up answers?

what are you giving up for Lent this year? A friend of mine is giving up coffee. My mom is giving up bread. What's everyone else giving up?

Or is it just me? I decided to cut my coffee intake down to one pot a day and drink green tea instead, but it seems the more green tea I drink, the more I sweat! Anyone know why?

The market has a big discount on smoked salmon, sell-by date is today... I was wondering if it can be frozen? How to properly thaw to retain taste/texture?

I have a recipe calling for 'coconut water' - but I can only find 'coconut milk' at the store. Are these the same thing? Can I substitute?

I just realized I have 4 movies with actor Al Leong in them... *without* looking it up, name one of these movies (must be one of the 4 I have) - first correct gets the points

Ok, this is gonna sound strange... I'm hearing this chirping sound; it sounds exactly like a smoke detector when the battery is starting to go. BUT I think it's coming from the kitchen (where I have no smoke detectors) and of the smoke detectors we do have, all but one are hardwired (= no batteries) and I've checked the battery one and it seems ok. Any idea where the chirping sound could be coming from?

when I try to open the solved question "SOLUTIONS PLS" asked by anjie, it closes my browser window - why is this happening? is it happening to anyone else?

I'm looking for a recipe that a friend used to make for me. It contains sauteed garlic, eggs fried in a kind of thin omelet and then sliced into thin strips, noodles, a kind of Vietnamese "mystery meat" that I can't figure the spelling on (sounded something like cheloa?) and topped liberally with fish sauce. It may have had other ingredients, but it's been over 20 years since I've had it and I can't recall... can anyone help?

The song currently stuck in my head is "me and my arrow" - I blame Richard. Let's see if what's stuck in someone else's head is annoying enough to get this song out of my head...

Prove that a horse has an infinite number of legs

Could be Disney, could be porno...

who can tell me where the character name "Truly Scrumptious" originated

Have you ever noticed Whoopi Goldberg has no eyebrows? Where did they go? Does she shave/wax them off or does she just naturally lack facial hair?

INSANE ANGLO WARLORD

Earlier today I read answers to a question that went something like "if you had only a month to live what would you do?" One of the responses was from a gay man who referred to (among other things) making sure his accounts etc. were set up so that his "husband" had financial security after his death. It is obvious that, although he loves his partner dearly and considers him his husband, he does not enjoy the same rights and privileges that heterosexual married couples take for granted.

I would like to hear from gay couples detailing the disadvantages they face due to not being allowed a legal marriage. (personal experiences only, please - I can do a google search and find the HRC website on my own)

I'm hitting the used paperback store Wednesday, looking for something I haven't read yet... I'm looking for books that are fantasy or cross-genre rather than hard sci-fi, something that stands alone (or at most a trilogy) - I don't want to end up searching for book 8 of the series...

I had heard that it was coming out on dvd, but I can't find it for purchase.
