  • Blood pressure and exercise?

    Okay, so I know your blood pressure goes up when you exercise, that's a given, but at what point does it become dangerous?

    I'm not very active, honestly and about 10 or 15 minutes of cardio/toning (from an xbox game >.>) Put me at 150/100 which, under normal circumstances is right at the beginning of hypertension. Is that okay to do since it's just exercise? or should I wait until It's gone back down to continue?

    I am female, by the way. Blood pressure measures are different for different genders, right?

  • New gerbil is biting. Need ways to teach it to stop?

    I recently got three new gerbils, from a petstore, so I know they're going to bite a little. Two of them have already pretty much learned not to bit me, after I blew on them a little after they did. But one seems to bit harder when I blow on him.

    And nudging isn't working either.

    I think he has almost learned no to bite me (unless he's scared), but sometimes he still does it anyway.

    Does anyone have any other ideas on how to teach him to stop?

  • Camera decisions.... Anyone?

    So I have a Jazz HDV178 camera. Video and pictures, all that.

    it wasn't mine before and it needs a battery a charger and possibly a battery cover :| That part's not entirely necessary for it to work, but whatever.

    As far as I can tell, it's in good shape. All the buttons press and move and the screen doesn't have a scratch on it.

    BUT my question is. Do you think it would be worth it to find a battery and charger?

    As far as I've found the battery alone can be about 20 bucks.

    I don't want to spend that much if this isn't going to be a very good camera

    Help please? ---{--{@

  • Nesting instinct, but not pregnant?

    I started my period yesterday and today I just wanted to clean and clean, do something, rather than what I normally do.

    Seems like a nesting instinct to me lol!

    I thought it was because of my period. I've been eating healthier and making myself healthier, so I thought that maybe that gave me more energy on my period. But I looked it up online anyway! and I came across a 'nesting instinct during a full moon' thread and then I remembered Aug the 2 was a full moon!

    Do you guys think that has anything to do with my 'nesting instinct'?

    I've never had any children, or sex at all, just interested in reading some opinions! ^_^

    Also, fun fact This month has a blue moon! ^_^ 2nd full moon is on the 31st

  • Ideas on where to take my plot?

    So, I roleplay a young version of Loki (The Norse God of Lies) Online, and I usually have a small plot running through the backscenes. My problem is, is I am not sure where I want to take it right now and I could use some inspiration for other ideas!

    So about the plot:

    Young Loki had been battle training in with a new mentor one morning, but the mentor wasn't actually a mentor. Rather he was an assassin. He stabbed Loki and was about to kill him before Thor jumped in and saved the day. Odin had the assassin thrown into the prisons until he could be interrogated and they could find out who he was working for. But before he got the chance to, the assassin escaped and managed his way out of Asgard.

    Now Loki, being the sneak he was, was spying on Odin when he was informed of this. Ended up arguing with Odin because Odin would not have the Einherjar go off to the other realms to find the man.

    Loki got in trouble and had his lips sewn shut for a few days. He eventually was able to undo the knot himself and set himself free from his own punishment. Now, Odin has found out and sent him to do double training as punishment for breaking the first punishment.

    Now I wish to know what to do with the assassin. He is still somewhere in one of the other eight realms. I /think/ what I want to do is have him come back and make another attempt on either Loki, Thor or Odin. And that would give reason to why Odin chose such a punishment the second time (He'd probably see that coming.)

    But what I do not know is.... Who should the assassin be working for? Any Ideas?

  • Help with beginner Archery?

    I want to take up archery as a hobby. Something fun to do in my free time that can help improve my aim/depth perception. I have been looking around at different bows for the past few day (mostly online, I've yet to speak with any professionals).

    I came across one in particular called the "Genesis Original Bow"

    The description for it is as follows

    "Ideal for kids, beginners and adults, the Genesis Original Bow ensures that the beginning archer won't develop bad habits caused by an ill-fitting bow. The Genesis System combined "zero let-off" with light-draw weights to create a bow that covers all standard-draw lengths and fits virtually everyone.

    Genesis Original Bow:

    1 cam, which means no tuning problems

    Much less recoil

    More accurate shooting

    Less noise

    Ideal for kids, beginners and adults

    No specific draw length requirement

    Simple to buy because there is no need to measure and fit for draw length

    Easy to shoot because the draw length is always right

    The beginning archer won't develop bad habits caused by an ill-fitting bow

    Great for families because everyone in the family can shoot the same bow

    Adjustable weight: 10-20 lbs

    Draw length: 15" to 30"

    Axle to axle length: 35-1/2"

    Brace height: 7-5/6"

    String length: 94-3/16" "

    Would this be a good beginner bow? And does anyone have any other suggestions maybe? I want something good and not difficult to deal with.

  • How to act like an advanced alien race?

    Okay, please no dumb answers like "paint yourself green and tell everyone your ship landed in Roswell." some thing realistic. I'm creating an imaginary race of Aliens that I call the Vollorians, and I can't figure out how an invader from Volloria would act on planet Earth. Volloria is a lot like Earth and Vollorians look a lot like Earthlings except for maybe the eyes, which I figure would help an invader invade Earth... I wanna make the invader more or less a scientist, just studying the Earth and it inhabitants for now any help would be greatly appreciated. oh and maybe and idea for an insignia (symbol) for Volloria
