  • I killed a tree today. Consumed by guilt!?

    Okay, today while out with my 2 boys on a hike I came across this very beautiful tobacco plant. It was probably 7 feet tall, so healthy. Well I brought with me a little pick axe thing from the house to dig some holes with the children. And for some reason when I walked passed the tree I got the bright idea to chop it down. So I did. And threw the cut down tree in the way of the path. At first I did not feel much, then another local saw the cut down tree, and asked if I had done this. I lied. And began to reflect immediately on what I had done. He replied,"some people are so destructive" I immediately began to feel terrible.

    The thing is, I don't ever do anything like that. I love nature. I love trees and wildlife. I acted out of character and I don't know what got into me. I feel even worse because I set such a horrible example to my young children. They know my thoughts on animals, and that they are never to be harmed. Only admired and respected. But there should be no difference when it comes to plants either.

    All day I have been thinking about that beautiful tree I killed. What can I do to feel better? How do I get rid of the guilt. I'm going to apologize to my children tomorrow and tell them about respect for nature. I was thinking of buying another tree, and replanting it in the same spot. Or maybe some seeds.

    Thanks guys.

  • My friend is collecting Unemployment but not looking for a job?

    Okay here's the story. I have this friend, aged 30 who lives with his parents and collects enemployment. He has been on UI for over 2 years now, and for some reason the state keeps extending it! I wish the day would come where they put a stop to it so he is forced to do something with his life!

    And does the state not monitor what the person spends their UI money on? I know they put it on a Debit card so there is some paper trail. He buys subscriptions to music steaming services, roller blades, even a marijuana smoking device!!!!

    Yes to make matters worse he smokes pot all day. How? Because he has a marijuana card. How? By paying for the evaluation with the money he gets from UI!!!!! Agh!

    I can't take it. He used to be really cool and filled with ambition. Now he has totally lost all drive to change his shitty situation. He claims he doesn't want to live with his mom and dad anymore, but he sure as hell isn't doing anything to change that. If I found myself in that situation my *** would doing anything to get out of mom and dads house. I mean 30 years old and still with parents, it's totally absurd.

    Oh and he can't visit me sometimes because his parents won't let him use THEIR car. That's right. He doesn't have car either because his is non operational with 1,000 in total road worthy repairs. I know because I have worked on getting the cheapest prices using my connections.

    But why try to fix your car when there is so much rollerblades, weed, pipes, music to buy!

    What do you guys think I should do?

    Leaned out to low BF 133lbs before beginning to lift.

    Then bulked to current weight. Seen solid gains but starting to taper off at 164 & want to try 1 - 2 cycles.

  • Can I become a werewolf a second time in Skyrim? - Dawnguard-?

    I have begun the Dawnguard quest, I chose to become a Vampire Lord. However, when I entered the Vampire castle I was a werewolf. I really liked being a werewolf, no weaknesses (aside from lack of restful sleep). Being a Vampire is awesome, but I don't really like the burdens it comes with (weakness to fire, sunlight damage, constant need to feed).

    My question is, after I finish the Vampire quest line, will I be able to go back to the Companions camp and become a werewolf a second time? Or will I have to just reload a previous saved game before I took the Vampire blood?

    Thank you!

  • What would happen if you unloaded a car or motorcycle off of a ramp of a moving car?

    Let's say someone is driving a truck going forwards on the freeway, and in the bed of the truck you have a motorcycle that you roll onto the freeway using a ramp.

    What direction would the motorcycle travel in once it hit the pavement? Would it roll backwards in the opposite direction of the truck? Or would it continue rolling forward along with the truck?

    If it would roll forward in the same direction as the truck at what moment would the wheel change from rolling in reverse when you initially rolled it off the ramp, to forward on the same direction as the truck.

    Thanks!

  • Saltwater fish hiding when I installed new lighting?

    I have a 29 gallon rectangle tank. I used to have a single T8 10,000k bulb. I believe it was only 17 watts.

    I recently purchased the Coralife lunar aqualight. Its an amazing light system but I noticed as soon as I turned it on my fish hid behind the rocks. And during feeding time my two clowns dont even come up to eat the food. I am worried that the lighting may be too bright for them.

    Has anyone experienced this? What would you reccomend?

  • What is a quiet hang on back protein skimmer for a 20 gal tank?

    I have a 30 gal saltwater FOWLR tank. My set up looks so amazing as it is. However I know that a protein skimmer is a vital part of a healthy aquarium. I also know that a lot of models produce HUGE amount of noise. Which totally takes away from the serenity and relaxation an aquarium inspires.

    So please let me know of any HOB protein skimmers that are quiet. Quiet as possible.

    Thank you

  • To all Hindus. Why do you believe in in Lord Shiva?

    I am not asking to persuade you of his existence our non existence. I am an atheist. I am just curious to know why you believe what you do. Here in America we are not exposed to many hindus.

    How firm are your beliefs in your specific gods? Do you feel as though they are real, or metaphorical?

    Do you feel that Shiva cares about you? And has your best interest in mind?

    What would some of the things you would tell a person contemplating practicing Hinduisim to convince them your beliefs are correct?

    Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions.

  • What is this book called?

    There was a book I remember reading as part of our required reading when I was in the 5th grade. However I cannot remember the name or any major details. Just that I really liked it.

    This is what I remember:

    It was set some time in the late 1800's maybe early 1900's. It followed a little girl and her family as they traveled across the country to the west. They endured many hardships along the way. Such as extreme heat. And to cool off they would place a sugar cube in their mouth. The little girl also had a doll that she would carry with her.

    If I am not mistaken I believe my teacher said it was a true story and the little girls doll was located at a museum someplace.

    I know its vauge but please help. Thank you

  • Should I wait to get the new Macbook Pro?

    I am going to purchase a new Macbook Pro soon. But before I do I was wondering what you all thought about holding out till the next gen comes out.

    On macrumors.com the buyers guide is at neutral. It's half way through it's current life cycle. If I do hold out to get the next one how long do you think I will have to wait? And do you thunk it will even be worth the wait? Look at the design difference between last gen MacBook pros and the current one. Phenomenally different design! The unibody steel made it look beautiful.

    So. What do you think?

  • Do you feel that Humans are the smartest that life could ever get in the Universe?

    From an intelligence stand point it would seem that there could be no other greater intelligence than us. That this is as smart as life could get. I know it doesn't help that we do not have another intelligent life form to compare to.

    There seems to be no limit to our knowledge. That all information if available to see and understand. Just think of what we are doing with Quantum mechanics, and the particle accelerators now. We are learning about, what looks like, the most complex theories of the universe.

    What do you think?

  • What will happen to all of the earths current religions?

    The size and age of the universe is undeniable. As well as the age of the earth, it truly goes beyond human understanding and experience. We have trouble imagining time measured in the billions. But, like I said, this is undeniable. Life, and the earth will continue it's seemingly unceasing course into the frontier of time.

    So my question is what do you believe will happen to all of our many religions thousands of years hence. How long do you believe it will take for humanity to abandon religion when the claims made in their holy books never substantiate over the course of time?

  • How do I tame a super scared Iguana? And by scared I mean petrified.?

    I got my iguana when she was very young, about 2 months. I have always taken very good care of her, making sure that she was never exposed to loud environments. I try to hold her as often as I can, but whenever I go to hold her she runs for her life in her enclosure. Whipping me with her tail and wiggling violently, anything to just escape to horrible experience of me holding and petting her. This is my fist iguana so I am no expert on their behavior.

    And yes, her diet and enclosure are perfect. Humidity and Temperature are Correct. Thank you

    Does every animal contain the markers CTGA, just with varying sequences of each?

    For example "All humans are CTGA, GATC, TGAC...etc..

    Or are there other markers in addition to the four G. T. A. C.?
