I am considering upgrading my stereo system's wiring and many of the high-end gold, silver or copper audio speaker or connector cables require a 'break in' period apparently.

Just what is this 'break in' stuff all about? Why is it required and just how am I supposed to break them in? Can the cables be damaged if I don't do it right or at all?

I'm listening to the Hawks come back against LA. This weekend’s 2 Hawk's games could be real confidence builders or real demoralizers, setting their pace for the rest of the regular season ...for better or worst.

So Hawk fans, just how important are this weekend's two games?

On a first date a couple decided to go to the mountains skiing. They had drinks before they began their journey. They started out on a wilderness road which would eventually lead up to the chalet. Half ways up the mountain the girl had to relieve herself of those drinks she’d had earlier. She was in dire need of relief, so he pulls over and waits while she gets out and goes to the back of the car out of sight. It was wide open country, so she went for the cover of the vehicle. She squats and does what she had to do, but when she tries to stand up again her butt was frozen to the bumper of the car …ya know like your tongue on a snow shovel.

To make a long story short, the guy ended up politely relieving himself on her and his rear bumper to free her …yes that’s right. It was a happy ending. They apparently had a good laughed about it. Now that’s a girl with a sense of humour.

This is a true story by the way! What would you have done ...if you were the guy or the girl?

There have been many debates over the existence of God and the existence of ETs ...two very different and conflicting concepts. Many religions they are waiting for their deity to make a 'second coming' and many other people are expecting an announcement that ETs are here on Earth.

Who would you expect might reveal their presence on Earth first ...'God' or ET?

... and I don't so much mean legally, as I do emotional, socially, etc.

I know this age does vary individually, but at what age do you believe teenagers reach ‘age of maturity’ so to speak, in these faster times …for both guys and girls? We all hear how fast the kids are growing up these days!

and what really makes them an adult rather than a child at this 'age of maturity’

...for those girls who are in this situation.

Honestly now!

And remember, for those ladies who reply ...he will never know.

I live in Toronto, Canada and not long ago the Mayor passed a bylaw allowing women to go topless in public if they choose. Men were always allowed. However, in the bars and pubs only women were allowed the option of going topless while 'hanging out' at the bars and not men. I believe this bylaw applied to all bars that wanted to advertise as such ...forget the 'free drinks for girls nites'! To be honest I'm not sure if this bylaw is still in effect ...it didn't seen to catch on with the ladies …gee, I wonder why?

Could someone explain this discriminatory law and the reasoning behind it? What's the difference if men are shirtless or not, if women are allowed to go topless …and more importantly, how would this affect the ‘dating scene’ for you?

I would also be interested to hear as to whether or not you would encourage or discourage this bylaw in your city and for what reason?

With regards to male circumcision, from a woman's perspective, I would be curious to hear from any ‘experienced’ women who have had the 'best of both worlds' so to speak with their male partners.

Which best describes how you feel about this issue...?

1 - I enjoy men more ...if they are as they were born

2 - I enjoy men more ...if they have been altered

3 - I enjoy all men and find no difference

4 - I do not have enough experience, so to speak

Comments are encouraged, for those you would like to add extra insights into this topic.

I never thought about it much, but I'm a little curious about the percentage of ya's and na's on this one. With regards to circumcision guys, are you...

1 - as born?

2 - lesser a man?

The girls could answer this one on behalf of their husbands, if they wanted to. Any comments are encouraged ...this should be good!

I recently had severe tendonitis in both my shoulders. I waited four months to see a doctor …that was a mistake. I had physical examinations, ultrasounds, x-rays and an MRI done. I was given cortisone shots put on anti-inflammatories or two months and went to a deep pressure message therapist. I am 90% better than I was four months ago, but still have limit range of motion in both shoulders, especially to the back.

Are there any physiotherapy exercises that I can do myself at home? What about light dumb bell exercises? Would one of those Dr. Hoe muscle stimulators help?

This is an English prog rock band from the early 70's and are virtually unknow by many. They had a unique sound! I am a music collector and have obtained many rare albums through the years, but these guys have eluded me.

Anybody heard of The Enid? This could be a tough one for all you music lovers ...but any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for the exact name of this hardest human tissue. Most people think they know. Do you?

And by the way guys ...it's above the waist!

The UFO phenomena has been covered extensively since 1947 in the media and in scientific and social circles. It comes in many forms including; crop circles, cattle mutilations, human abductions and both ET and UFO sightings. The military and governments are accused of a 'cover up'. What do you think?

Most people fall into one of the categories below when it comes to this mystery. Which category best describes your views on UFOs and ETs:

1 - there is no way they are for real

2 - it is a possibility ...but I doubt it

3 - something is going on ...but I've never seen concrete proof

4 - they are out there somewhere ...but have never visited us

5 - of course ...they have been visiting us for ages

Addition comments are welcomed and encouraged ...I'm open!

In '79 I was watching a TV show on UFOs. I am sceptical about stuff like this. Near the end of this program they ran a short (maybe 40 sec.) black and white movie.

It was taken at the Groom Lake base ... area 51. The footage shows a plane (like a B-52) taxing down the runway towards a hanger or something. The camera followed the plane. As the plane taxied behind a rock outcrop, the camera continued to pan to the right, to a scene (I would say less 50' away) of a jeep parked on the tarmac with military guys standing near. None had side arms!

An ET was walking across the tarmac towards them and 2 or 3 other ETs stood further back beside 2 parked saucers. The Et stopped when it reached the jeep and stood face to face with military. Footage ended shortly after. I have never seen it again ...and believe me I have looked over the years!

I also recently hear a radio interview and a film director spoken of this exact footage and said it has never aired publicly ...someone is lying!

If you were choosing a partner for a serious relationship, which would you consider more important and why:

their Smarts?

or

their Physical Appearance?

This one should separate 'the herd' ...and lets be honest!

Whether you're a guy or a girl ...this is an 'age old' question (excuse the pun). Guys are welcomed to answer too.

I'd also be curious to know whether you would prefer an older or younger partner?
