Is this an example of an Idiom?
I'm looking for an example of an idiom in The Joy Luck Club... It can be a Chinese idiom or American.
Would this work?
"After the gold was removed from my body I felt lighter, more free. They say this is what happens if you lack metal. You begin to think as an independent person."
or this?
"And below the heimongmong, all along the ground, were weeds already spilling out over the edges, running wild in every direction."
2 AnswersHomework Help8 years agoWould lighter blonde highlights look weird on dark blonde hair?
i have medium length dark golden blonde hair (similiar to lauren conrad's color) with natural 3/4 in. curls
i want it to be a little lighter colored like it was when i was little but i don't want to dye my hair so i was thinking lighter blonde highlights might look good. But i'm worried that putting the fake blonde by my natural blonde might look weird
what do you think?
thanks!

4 AnswersFashion & Accessories9 years agoWhat types of horse trainers are there and which would be best for my horse?
my mom got me this mare two years ago when she was 3 years old. (She's a POA but she's tall-about 15 hands). My mom intended to train her but once we got to a point she stopped. (I do trail riding only)
My pony saddles and bridles easily and knows her commands for running and steering, but she is far from being perfect and bomb proof so I'm planning on bringing her to a trainer.
The problem: she's stubborn and needs professional help. When she's not with the other horses she likes to back into ditches and she has become hard mouthed. And when she runs (canters or trots) or even when she's just walking, she always wants to go faster, so I feel like i'm ruining her.
Since I don't have an arena at my house I'm going to have to bring her to the trainer. Right?
How long will she have to be there?
How much will it cost?
Are there different types of trainers that I need to consider?
How do I find a good trainer in my area? I don't know anyone else with horses to get recommendations from so...?
thankyou!! :)
5 AnswersHorses9 years agoHow can I work on keeping my knees straight while vaulting (gymnastics)?
When i'm vaulting (front hand spring) I always bend my knees! I've tried tons of stuff like looking for my toes and pointing my toes and I do both, but i can't get it!
Also, on my front hand springs on floor I think i bend my knees on those too.
Do you know any exercises I can do to work on keeping my legs straight?
3 AnswersOther - Sports9 years agoMy naturally blonde hair keeps getting darker, should i just dye it? brown or blonde?
When i was younger my hair was naturally bleach blonde and it keeps getting darker and darker. Right now it's a darker blonde (almost a golden color) which isn't too bad except I have curly hair so if i try to use anything like mousse in my hair it gives it a really dark ugly color.
my eyebrows are brown so i might look okay with light brown hair but i'm more tempted to dye it blonde or get blonde highlights.... I'm 15 though and i've never dyed my hair before so i'm not quite sure if i really want to or not
What do you think?
2 AnswersHair9 years agoI can't get my horse to stop trotting and listen to me?
ok so this is kind of a backwards question because usually people have trouble getting their horse to go faster, but my horse won't go slower!
She does good when she's by other horses but terrible when she's alone. (She's 6yrs old)
First she backs up because she doesn't want to go but i can handle that and get her to start going down the driveway (i do trail riding). The problem is, once she starts going she wants to trot the whole way! By the end of my ride my hand was hurting from pulling back so much trying to get her to walk! She knows what i want but she just chooses not to listen and ignores my commands. Its like her month can't feel anything but i know she can and i know she knows what to do because when she is with other horses she listens fine.
i've tried making her go in large circles until she walks but it's like she never gets tired because she still wouldn't walk after like 10 circles.
i'm not sure what to do... Should i try a sharper bit?
I'm thinking about taking her to a trainer in the spring but in the mean time i want to work on it myself.
6 AnswersHorses10 years agoFlat, ugly, wavy hair that doesn't "flow" HELP!?
i have wavy blonde hair that's about 4in. past my shoulders and its hideous!
i've tried to put links to pictures but then my question doesn't show up so i'll try to describe it to you.
Picture this: its flat and frizzy at the top. Then instead of having nice flowing, beachy waves my waves just form in 1cm size sections so they don't all flow together at all. Then at the very bottom, each section of hair gets a little curl at the end.
any ideas of any ways to style it so it'll look good?
Do you think getting layers might look good? (i keep it in a pony tail everyday anyway so it wouldn't hurt to try right?)
Or should i just cut it to shoulder length and straighten it every day
2 AnswersHair10 years agoIs there a certain way layers for curly hair should be cut?
my hair is wavy with curls at the ends. Its about 3 in past my shoulders and i want to get layers (the shortest layer will have to be long enough for a pony tail though)
is there a certain way i should ask the hair dresser to cut my hair so it doesn't look like a frizzy triangle?

1 AnswerHair10 years agoShould i get layers (ugly/wavy hair)?
my hair is blonde and 3 inches past my shoulders. Its wavy but its not pretty, loose, beachy waves. It's more like frizzy chunks of waves with a little curl at the ends. (i'd put a picture but my questions never appear when i add links...)
so i need a new haircut! i'm thinking i should get 1in. or 2 cut off and then add layers. Since my hair curls at the ends i get a little bit of a triangle head so the layers would fix that right?
please help me!

2 AnswersHair10 years agoBetta fish's face has colored spots?
What could this be?
he is acting really funny too. He floats near the top of the tank and if i tap on the glass by him he goes crazy running into everything.
He's a dark blue fish and the stuff on his face is tan and light blue. It sorta looks like he's loosing color.
The stuff goes by his gils too and it looks like he has a hard time breathing
any ideas and ways to treat it?

3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans10 years agoHow do i get a straight body when doing a handstand?
my back (mostly the lower back) curves when i try to do a handstand. Like this (except my arms are straight obviously):
http://media7.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/29_20...
So how should i go into my handstand so that doesn't happen/ how do i straighten out?
Also, do you have any tips for balancing? and should focus on balancing first and then the straight back or should i learn straight-back and balance at the same time?

2 AnswersOther - Skin & Body10 years agoLayers with wavy/curly hair?
ok so my hair is mostly wavy but it curls at the bottom and its about 3 in past my shoulders when its natural. when i straighten it, it's about 5in. past my shoulders.
For my (almost) everyday hair routine i go to sleep with it damp. Wake up and comb through it in the morning (and it poofs up). Then i spray it with water and slightly scrunch.(and the poof goes away)
My problem is that its not interesting enough. i want to get layers but i don't want to end up looking like a tornado hit my head. So i'm wondering what type of layers i should get and how far apart each layer should be.
