I'm back in the US after 3 years in Korea... Moved AGAIN...I now live in the strange 'country' of Texas.
Out of curiosity, what IS this?

My hubby and I saw a spider that looked like this (pic is from someone else's Flckr account-not taken by me). All I have found as far as what type of spider this is, was 'cool', 'it looks similar to (fill in a different type of spider here)' and 'Oooo! Lots of eyes'...not very helpful...
So, does anyone know what THIS spider is? (BTW, my hubby and I saw 'our' spider in Ft. Huachuca, AZ)
1 AnswerZoology1 decade agoVegans and Vegetarians...why do you claim that Vegan and Vegetarian diets are the only way to eat healthy?
So maybe there is proof that red meat and milk may be slightly 'bad' for you, but there is also proof that both have many benefits, insofar as human health, as well. Why is it that you can only find the proof that meat/milk are bad, but not the proof they they are good, too? Why can you only find the proof that that soy is good for you, but not that it has MAJOR jhealth risks associated with it? Didn't you know that soy can cause brain damage and that, when fed to small boys, can act similar to hormone therapy due to the similarities between soy and estrogen? If you want to claim health reasons, then PLEASE do all of your research. Otherwise, you look like an idiot to the more well-informed people of the world.
I'm not telling you to change your dietary choices, just to realise that others may have information that makes them want to eat a more balanced diet that includes meat and dairy products. No one food is perfect. That's why variety is the key.
26 AnswersVegetarian & Vegan1 decade agoI need to find some info. on homosexuality and genetics...?
I've been looking and I can't seem to find any medical journals on the subject, except for sites that mention having journal related to this subject...for a fee.
I had a discussion with a few people who say that if gays/lesbians are allowed same-sex marriage and adoption, the children will be brainwashed into BECOMING homosexual themselves. I know for a fact that this is not true. (I've known homosexual couples with straight children...) I also know that research has been done on searching for a gene that may predispose some people to preferring sexual relationships with the same sex.
I would be most appreciative if someone could help me find a site (no blogs or opinions-I need a site on PROVEN research on homosexuality and the role of genetics) that actually has official research papers, but without the cost to view or a price for buying the individual paper or periodical, preferably the 'latest and greatest', so to speak.
3 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoFor Wiccans: What is the most common 'system' for the elements?
I'd like your opinions on this. Earth, Air, Fire, Water? Do you count Metal? Or maybe Life or Energy instead?
I'm working on a project...nothing will come of it for a long time, but I'd like to start some of the planning now.
For other religions, I'll be asking questions about some of your symbology soon. I don't want to leave anyone out. ^^

19 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoHow would I sell this and would anyone buy it?
I made some images and I think they might be good for using on coffee mug sets or as posters.
First off, does anyone think they would be likely to sell (URLs to smaller pics of the images attached)?
Second, if I sell something like this on Amazon.com or on my own website that I may make in the future, what would I have to do? How would I copywrite my images, what kind of paperwork would I need to grant permission to a company to reproduce my images on mugs (or any other product), would it be legal for me to resell them, and what would I need to do for a business license and for keeping track of the money flow for income tax purposes? I don't need the IRS knocking on my door and asking about unreported income...
1 AnswerSmall Business1 decade agoDoes anyone know where I can find Omar Sharif Tonique Au Fleur for sale in the US or anything else that works?
Or anything that might work... this is what I used for moisturizing my face while I lived in South Korea. It was the only thing I could find that did not make my face break out worse, but instead made in look better. I have moved to Arizona and my face is worse than it has EVER been (I'm 30). I have been scrubbing my face to get rid of the bits of dry skin and excess oils with Oil of Olay foaming face wash and trying to calm down the skin irritation from the scrubbing with Omar Sharif Tonique Au Fleur by moisturizing.
PLEASE HELP! I'm open to suggestions for other methods if no one knows where to get this moisturizer outside of South Korea...
1 AnswerSkin Conditions1 decade agoDoes anybody know of any anime in which a female character wears a hanbok?
Name of character and name of anime, please.
For those who do not know, a hanbok is traditional clothing in Korea.
I am considering going to an cosplay/anime event coming up soon, but I have never cosplayed before, nor bought any cosplay clothing. I have a hanbok (top-white trimmed with dark blue, skirt-baby blue, shoes-mostly purple, tassle-white, baby blue, dark blue), so maybe I can match a character to the hanbok instead of buying an outfit to match a character. ...much more cost effective... Ideas, anyone?
1 AnswerComics & Animation1 decade agoWhat are some GOOD suggestions for the vegetables in BiBimBop?
I looked for some recipes for some vegetable ideas (I don't need instructions on how to steam rice, fry an egg, or get the hot pepper paste out of a package). I found recipes that involved sugar, chicken breasts, and other ingredients that I have NEVER seen in my over 3 years as a self-proclaimed 'BiBimBap addict'. Please, don't bother answering if you have never had BiBimBap made IN South Korea.
Keep in mind that the nearest Korean store to me is at least an hour away. I'm looking for vegetables that I can find in a store a bit closer to me.
4 AnswersEthnic Cuisine1 decade agoWhat does this mean?
I read summaries of a couple of Pychon's books...one mentioned a character named Oedipa Maas. It suggested that if you read this name in the mirror, you would find some additional meaning.
SAAMAPIDEO
All I can figure is:
SAMMA PI DEO or
? 3.14 god
I can't figure out 'saama', nor does the rest really make sense.
Maybe, trying to figure out the answer to this is like a parallel to Oedipa Maas? Searching for an answer that isn't there?
Ideas?
2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat does the Hanguel (Korean) word 'oppa' mean?
I've heard it translated as:
Brother
Good man
Husband
Father
and as a individual guy's name
I've also heard that Korean girls will use the word with their boyfriend/husband in bed to let him know that (ahem) he's really good in bed-like Oh! God! Yes!
What does it REALLY mean? (This is entirely to touchy to use babel fish on and everyone I've asked seems to have a different answer-I'm going to go with 'majority rules' on this one)
Languages1 decade agoWhy do so many people hate an entire nationality just because they don't agree with that country's leader?
Seriously...most people that I've heard bashing all Americans did so because they hate Bush. Not all Americans voted for Bush, many disagree with his policies. Yet, there are many people out there that hate all Americans simply because Bush is President.
Personally, I think it's idiotic to hate someone that you've never met or even heard of simply because of their nationality, ethnic background, sexual persuation, gender, etc. Get to know a person first!

3 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoWhy is, say, 20lb. paper called 20lb. paper?
What does the 20lb.s measure? I know the difference between 20lb. and 24 lb. is thickness-I once worked in a copy center before-but how does the manufacturer come up with the specific 'poundage'?
There is no catagory that this fits in, so I picked this one at random...
4 AnswersOther - Business & Finance1 decade agoI need the formflow version of DA Form 4856.?
I had the A4856.FRO file, but deleted it from my computer, thinking that I'd never need it again (I have the Microsoft Word version, now). It seems that I have a file full of counselings that I didn't realize were there before and I want to convert them to Word. I have to be able to open them before I can convert them...
Can anybody send me the A4856.FRO file (should be under My Computer, C: drive, FormFlow) or give me the site to download it from?
3 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoHas anyone heard *this* song? What is the name of it and the singer's/band's name?
It's about selkies...
"Over the waves, you call to me
Oceans of night, ancient mysteries
Oh, how I long for your sweet caress
Oh, how I long for your (?gentleness or tenderness?)"
...or something like that. I think the rest was in Gaelic, but I'm not sure. If it wasn't, then the language was at least something similar to Gaelic.
4 AnswersMusic1 decade agoWhere can I buy old copies of the literary publication 'Pennyroyal'?
I wrote a poem in 1994 and sent it in (I was a student at ENMU). My poem was published and I was sent a letter requesting that I read my poem at a poetry reading. I did not recieve the letter until a month after the reading. I was in the US Navy's Basic Training program at the time. I would really love to see my poem in print and to see the other poems that won.
*At least I THINK that's what the name of the publication was...it HAS been a decade. Any ENMU students out there, perhaps?
**I'm posting this question again in hopes of getting an answer or, at least, something that will point me in the right direction...
2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhy do many christians assume that atheists have no morals?
Morals are personal. The individual creates their own moral code, usually basing their morals on what they were taught by their friends and family, although many simply use logic to create their personal moral code. Why do so many christians feel they have a monopoly on morality? Why do they believe that morals come from the bible and how do they explain it when a 'good christian' performs an 'immoral act'?
21 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWho wants to see MyNameHere's photographs?
I mean, really. Considering everybody else's photos either suck or are 'normal'... What amazing new photos has this self-proclaimed 'pro photographer/painter' taken? I want to know what the extention of this person's conscienceness looks like (as opposed to a 'false reality'). I know I've had the cajones to post my pics for the world to see. Does MyNameHere?
...so much fluff from a 'pro' who doesn't understand that sometimes people are just having fun taking pics. Sometimes there is no plan to get them hung in a gallery. Not to mention, some people don't have the money for a professional camera and some people might get in a bit of trouble with the police/military if they made their picture-taking obvious by, say, bringing a camera instead of just a little cell phone 'for calls home'.
