What's the next 3 #s? 243, 81, 27, 9...?
I can't find the pattern. I know it has to do with multiples of 9, but I'm stumped. Help!
5 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoLGBT: How would you respond to this?
Last semester I took World History with a pretty conservative teacher. He made sure to inject his opinion into just about everything he taught, and he made be absolutely furious by spewing nonsense and warping history to fit his own "Because it was God's will" point of view.
So one day, he was talking about Emperor Caligula. He said "Gosh, this guy was bad. He was bisexual, cheated constantly, slept with men, had numerous people killed, etc."
I'm not saying Caligula deserves a break- but what would you do if your teacher used "he wasn't heterosexual" as their first piece of evidence to prove that a man was evil and corrupt? Would you speak up? Talk to him after class and say he offended you?
I didn't. I didn't want to cause a scene, and he already targeted me during his rants, so I didn't talk to him about it. I think about it every now and then and it makes me angry that I let him trample over my life and my beliefs for 6 months straight. How would you feel and what would you have done in my position?

I fried some bacon earlier, and it got too crispy. And I hate any eggs that are liquidy. So, how do you like your breakfast?
20 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoWhat are your first thoughts on these names?
I'm not expecting, but I like to think of names. These would be my first choices:
Juniper Wren (My mom thinks it's too weird, but I love nature-derived names and Juniper is an actual given name with history, and Wren rhymes my name)
Gregory Simon (My father's name was Simon Craig, and I like it, but is it too outdated?)
8 AnswersBaby Names1 decade agoCan't do anything correctly?
I've had three or four dreams like this over the past few weeks- I dream that I'm doing something simple (Taking a picture, buying a movie ticket, others I can't recall but know I've had) but cannot seem to get it done. I either can't decide what to do, or something is malfunctioning. I always wake up before being able to do what I'm trying to do. I'm always in a situation where I 'm embarrassed for what I can't do. I dreamed I was trying to take a picture with a celebrity but my camera kept messing up, and a girl at the movies was staring at me rudely for not being able to decide what movie to see.
I'm fifteen and I used to have pretty severe anxiety disorder, and lately I've felt like it could be returning. This scares me a lot. Do you think my dreams (which are so recurrent it's beginning to take a toll on my nerves) are just a way of me expressing my fear of becoming anxious and scared of the public again? Or have you had/heard of dreams like this and have a different explanation?
Thanks :)
2 AnswersDream Interpretation1 decade agoWhat is normal? (Rather embarrassing)?
I can recall since about a year before I started my first period (About 6 years ago now) I've dealt with pretty heavy discharge. I have to wear liners every day, and cannot go without them. I absolutely hate it, I feel inhibited and embarrassed.
But I am wondering, what amount of discharge is normal, or does it vary person by person and I've just got the short end of the stick?
And if I'm particularly abnormal, should I see a gynecologist about it? I've never been before.
I'm pretty embarrassed, I've never talked about it before, but if I'm being too vague I'll add additional info.

3 AnswersOther - Health1 decade agoBisexual flag colors shirt?
For a while I've wanted a shirt that's split up into pink, purple and blue, like a bisexual pride flag. Not a shirt with a flag on it, but like a flag in in the form of a tee shirt. I just think it would be pretty cute, and a way to show pride without being too in-your-face. I've searched around for a shirt like this for a long time, but can't seem to find one.
Is there any website/store you know of that sells a shirt like this?
Or is there any site I could go to get one custom designed, that you know of?
Thanks tons. :)

http://tinypic.com/r/2w4a0wh/5
Those are both pictures of me from the side.. My neck doesn't cause me any pain. I'm fifteen. I've always felt that weird knot in my neck but only today have I noticed how strange it looks when I lean my head down. I'm going to my pediatrician soon.
Just want to know if there's anyone who knows anything specific that might be wrong.. or if you think nothing's wrong at all. Just a concern.
Forgive the horrible pics, btw.
4 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoHow do I get my chain smoking mother to stop smoking, or at least not as much?
I'm 15 and I live just with my mother. She's 46 and has been a smoker since she was a teenager, and has smoked several packs a day as long as I can remember. My mom smokes inside our house and causes everything I own to smell absolutely disgusting, and turns every white surface yellow within months of repainting. She coughs loudly almost every time she speaks, and causes herself to throw up from coughing so often she keeps a waste bin by the couch she never seems to get up off of. I don't have asthma, but I cannot play sports or run due to shortness of breath. Anyone with breathing problems literally cannot enter my house without choking.
I've tried to make my mom realize that she's killing herself and me for years. She's told me she would "try" to "do better" for just as long and never made any effort to smoke less or at least smoke outside. I hate it so much, I cry, scream, beg, and just tonight she made me so angry that I shattered a glass against the kitchen sink just to get her attention. She gets angry at me for "nagging" her when I just want to be healthy, she acts like I don't have a right to complain. She knows she's sick but refuses to see a doctor because she's scared.
My mother grew up without grandparents, my last living grandparent died four years ago, and since my father died and my mom is going to smoke herself to death it, looks like my children won't have grandparents, either. The thought of losing my mother before I have a chance to grow up and start a family makes me cry every time it crosses my mind. I'm scared to leave my small town for college in 3 years because I'm worried that my mom's health with spiral farther.
A few years ago she left her boyfriend and stopped heavy drinking every night. I know she can overcome addictions, and I know mom's smoking is stress related. She's unemployed, we just lost our health insurance, and though my father died 15 years ago (before I was born), she still mourns his passing. She has a lot on her mind.
Am I too worried, or do I have valid reasons to always be this upset?
Is there anything I can do, or anyone I can talk to to help my mom?
