Puckered Up

I have some plants that look like they are ready to go in the ground, but I'm scared of frost killing them. Will covering with a tarp or bucket keep them alive? I live in Minnesota zone 4.

It seems a bit dumb to me, but then again, I'm 23, not 2.

I am going to clean up my debts with my tax return, and I want to make sure I do as much as I can and just knowing the total amounts I owe would be nice. A few years ago, I could remember them, but having kids and other life changes have me drawing blanks. Can a bank help me find this information?

If you read an article in the paper about this guy in your town who is in a wheelchair and waves at cars, and find out that he is a serious child predator, but the article is more about how many bad things happened to him in his life what would you think?

Would you be like, hmmm, I'm definitely not waving all 5 fingers at him next time, or would you think that it somehow justifies him being a high risk sex offender?

I'm trying to figure out why this article was even written.

I heard this on an episode of DaVinci's Inquest.

I just heard a lady say she would tell her little brother that if it go thot enough in summer, mirrors would melt, and all the reflections could come play with him.

If someone told me that as a kid, I'd be in a padded cell. I am still scared that I might see something that's not there in mirrors.

I've heard people call others a rat before, and know it means a tattle tale or snitch. But what is the fink part about? Where did it come from?

I have a suet cage and wooden feeders, and live in housing. I can obviously see the layers of bird crap on my wooden feeders, and sometimes see it on the suet cage. Children who live around me don't get supervised by their parents at all and it is getting to the point of ticking me off pretty badly. So HUD is having a meeting so people can tell the parents what their children are doing and the parents probably won't cuss us out or laugh at us like I have had done. I can't afford to keep replacing bird food because kids think its a snack or want to rub the suet into the siding on the apartments. I am trying to find something real to wake the parents up and remembered how birds carry lice and the ton of bird poo on the feeders and want to know if its a possibility for kids to get lice from messing with the feeders. When its calm out, I have at least 5 to 14 birds on my feeders. So I am assuming that the things birds carry can be hanging out there too. So when kids scare off the birds and then play with my bird things and their dolls, that the dolls and kids could risk picking up the lice. And the poo thats all over isn't clean because its white.

I'm sorry this is so long, but is there any real risk of catching something from playing with the feeders?

Perhaps I should have thought a bit more when creating the sims, because none have any creativity, and I am stuck not being able to make many things except for my original sim who I have had the longest. Is there any activities that will build creativity skill points?

Up until the last week or so, my nails have been pretty norrmal. But then they started cracking and flaking off and all I do is sit around the house all day. I'm not doing anything that would normally break a nail. I bet I'm difficient in something, what could it be?

I would guess either Marilyn Manson or on super happy days, they people responsible for the theme from the office.

Mine was being in the back of a car that was racing away from police. My mom was driving, and the radio had GNR's Welcome to the Jungle on.

I still don't know why my mom was running from the police, when I ask about it, she just says she can't believe I remember it.

Some people out there think a firing squad is too cruel for people who have raped and killed their way to state executions.

I disagree. Most of these convicts committed multiple murders, or otherwise killed the elderly or children. Most of these convicts also sit in prison for at least 5 years before they are put down because the legal system automatically grants appeals to them because of their execution sentencings.

Based on what you would have to be convicted of to be executed by the state, does it really matter?

I think not, because they have pretty comfortable lives on taxpayer dollars while exhausting appeals.

Ok, this may be long, but I just and dying for some type of information.

My ex and I are having a child, and back in the beginning of this year, he decided to try to find a house. I was honest with him about my bad credit, lack of savings, and then told him I was not going to get into any financial contracts. He persisted. I just ignored it. I did find an apartment, and if we were to share expenses, it would be about $300 a month each. He said he couldn't do it because he sometimes doesn't make that much in a month. He works 2 jobs. Is away from home at work average 16 hours a day, so I began to think he was lying. Then the day I found out I was pregnant, (Feb 19) he promised me he would pay the down payment on the apartment. He came over later that night and said he couldn't do the apartment because his stepfather (he lived with him) had asked for the money so he wouldn't lose the house in a foreclosure. I was mad, because he had promised me before hand that we could live together, and also had met with the landlord and said he would bring the money by.

Once I became pregnant, my dad did a background check on him, and found that he was a ward of a local charity for vulnerable people, and that on the same day he let me down with the apartment, there were annual reports filed with the court reguarding his finances and well being. I have no idea what was in those reports, because he swears up and down he isn't a ward of anything, its just some other guy with the exact same name and birth date. I told him I can't persue a normal relationship based on his lies and the unknowns about his abilities to care for himself. Since then, he has disappeared, and doesn't call. He did promise to come to the 20 week ultrasound, and I even consulted him before I scheduled it. He promised in front of my roommate that he'd be there. He didn't show up or call to say he wouldn't make it. He also never called since to find out anything about the baby.

I think that he doesn't care about the baby. But I'm worried that when the child support gets taken care of, he will get visitation. I don't think he is capable of caring for a newborn, since its been proven in court he can't care for himself. In situations like this, do they automatically lose parental rights or do people who are wards just get supervised visits?

It seems to me as though their crimes are worse than just being an average alien without all the right papers.

Ok, so this Rabbit character is starting to tick me off. Does anyone else get reminded of a fundamentalist complaining about homosexuality when they see Rabbit complaining about Tigger?

I am in no way saying Tigger is gay. I just find the behavior of Rabbit very similiar to the fundamentalists that I know.

I was pretty scared of Rocko's Modern Life when I was a kid. I couldn't really articulate why at the time, but now I can. There was this depressive cloud over Rocko' life, were things were bad and could only get worse. As a kid it bothered me.

BQ Do you have any early memories of watching a show, and then finding out years later what it was?

I had memories of David the Gnome, and for years, I thought I was just remembering a dream.

and you were in trouble for murder, but somehow got away, why the heck would you ever put yourself in a bad situation?

I believe he killed both women, but c'mon, I would have dropped off the face of the earth, and lived off the land for the rest of my life.

BQ, What other evil people do you think he ranks with?
