Dance Upon the Graves of the Dead

Good morning! I am learning to sew, and while I do very well with cotton blends that are heavier, I am having a problem with sheer and silky blends getting sucked into the sewing machine where the bobbin rests, which is frustrating because those are some of the more fashionable blends. I believe my problem is attributed to the needle size and/ or throat plate I am using. What size would be best for these blends?

i've been on mirena since february of this year, and i was told that it would, over time, reduce my period and could even stop it all together. the first few months i had regular bleeding for the expected time, but this time, for the past week and a half, i've had spotting for the first week, and now heavy bleeding. is it normal for my period to go this long, even if it was spotting at first? thanks.

I'm in Florida and I tan VERY easily, but I want to use sunblock to prevent damage. I want to tan, though, and I used to not use sunblock, so I was wondering if I can still tan well with sunblock.

i heard a song in hot topic yesterday, it sounded something like an emo song, and it said something like i've got butterflies in part of it. there was some screaming too. does anyone have any idea what this song could be? thanks

i am 36 weeks pregnant with our first child and up until a few weeks ago things were going nicely. except for the occasional bout with sciatic nerve pain and sore back, i didn't have much to complain about. however, the past few weeks, i've been very tired, almost exhausted, and i've been getting enough sleep. my body feels tired too. i don't do anything strenuous, but it gets to where getting up to go to the next room can be tiring. also, my hips hurt a lot more, almost every morning i wake up with sore hips and it hurts down my thighs. i've been getting a lot hotter, and everyone in the house complains that it's cold. my ribs are sore, which i'm sure is because she kicks me in the ribs. my stomach is also sore. it also feels like she's hitting me in the pelvic region. it really hurts sometimes. also, she moved and it hurt on the inside of my right leg, and it shot pain down my leg. i was wondering if all this is normal pain or if it's something to call my doctor about.

I let our baby listen to music with headphones on my belly while she's in my womb. we also listen to music fairly loud in the car. if you did this with your child, what did you let him/her listen to and how did she react? also, did it become something that he/she found familiar when born?

our baby listens to disturbed, from first to last, metallica, and coheed and cambria, and when she listens to it she falls asleep. for instance, a few hours ago she was kicking me and it was hurting, so i put on disturbed and she went to sleep. i took the headphones off and she started kicking until i put them back on.

So Halo: Reach is coming out tonight at 12:01, and my husband and i are really excited. So i've concocted a list of things that will signal you know you like Halo too much. My question is does anyone have anything to add to it?

1. You go to the midnight opening to get the game.

2. The first time it is available, you reserve it.

3. You have two Xbox 360s, two copies of Halo: Reach, and two flat screen TVs in one room just so you can play system link.

4. You keep looking for the reviews, updates, and the countdown till it's released.

5. You have every Halo book.

6. You keep glancing at the clock.

7. You're willing to stay up all night even though you've been up all day just to play the entire game.

8. You actually entered the contest that is giving away the life sized spartan.

9. You actually believe you are a spartan. (fun joke about my brother in law)

10. You bought a knife from cold steel, because it looked cool, and because it was called the spartan.

11. You threaten to kill someone if they accidentally sell your reserved games.

12. You're going to stand in line for at least an hour though you're 8 months pregnant. (yes, that's me)

13. You were infuriated that IGN only gave Halo: Reach a 9.5, even though that's a really really good score, and suggested that the only reason that IGN gave it a 9.5 instead of a 10 like GTA 4 was that something less than reputable was going on. *coughcough*

14. You're reading this and nodding along the whole way.

yes the majority of this is based on me and my husband.

now, add yours.

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first child, and am wanting to get an epidural for the birth. i'd like to know how safe this is, and if it will affect the child in a negative way, as i want to do this instead of being put under when she's born so i can be awake to hold her.

i don't mean pro-war or pro-government, those are different things. you can be against the war or against the government but still support our troops, like disturbed, which is fiercely pro-soldier. i've noticed that on the disturbed site they kind of support fellow bands, like avenged sevenfold, and avenged sevenfold supports papa roach, another pro-soldier band from what i've heard. but what about avenged sevenfold?

if so, did you like it? would it be worth going to the theater to see? for further information, my husband and i both hate the twilight series, and this is supposed to be a spoof isn't it? so would we like it?

in the midst of all the twilight knockoffs it's hard to find a good erotic vampire novel. as if that wasn't bad enough, a lot of the books i've seen online are about same sex couples or group sex. i simply want an erotic vampire novel, where the male is a vampire, the female is human, and there's no third party that has to be entertained to put it nicely. any suggestions?

I am going to start a blog, and I hope to turn it into a financial income if it is successful. However, I would be using the free website format. Is it legal to even use a free format to make money like that? Also, if it is, what steps would I take to even make the blooming thing? For example, I need to know how to add forums and how to make a member registry. Basically I know what I want to do, but have no idea how to go about it.

When I first though I was pregnant, I noticed that almost every time I checked my email and yahoo answers I would get an ad on my computer on the side that was about babies. This was frequent too! Did anyone else have anything like that?

I am thinking of making a blog, hoping to have merchandise if it gets a certain number of followers, and I was wondering if anyone would actually find this interesting. Keep in mind that I'm not asking anyone to join or go to this blog, I don't have it made, I just want to see if anyone would find it worth going to. My idea is to make a blog where people can go and rant about the stupidity of certain people or people in general. It actually makes one feel better when they can do that. Of course, there's a "respect other user's opinions" policy to keep things cordial between users. For instance, did some idiot cut you off while driving and practically make you run into the back of him? Then rant about it. What do you think?

I love looking at this magazine, and I was wondering if anyone had any old issues, preferably a lot of them that i could buy? If not does any one know where i could buy them?

i've been looking at the electro stimulation packs from fetish fantasy for my husband and i to play around with, but when i went to buy one online i noticed something. almost everywhere i looked, it's sold out. this leads me to believe it's either very good or it's being pulled off the shelves for not being safe. does anyone know if this brand of electro stimulation is safe? i don't want to buy something that's not safe. please no immature answers this is a serious question. thanks.

i'm 14 weeks and 5 days pregnant with baby number one. (i just heard the heartbeat a few days ago!) i'm excited and so is my husband, but i'm so scared that i will hate my body more than i already do. i've always had an inferiority complex, but now i'm getting bigger and bigger and i feel so unattractive. my husband is extremely supportive and tells me i'm still as sexy as always, but i'm afraid that's just to make me feel better. now it's swim suit season and i love to swim, and i love getting tan, but i'm so hesitant because of my belly. my husband insists that i buy a bikini and i settled for one only if i could get the shorts instead of the small bottom, but that'll only cover it for so long, and i'll be pregnant all summer. what could i do to feel more comfortable in my belly and feel sexy even though i'm already big and getting bigger each month?

my husband and i are pregnant with baby number one, and we were reading things on what happens to your baby week by week. we learned that in week ten it swallows fluid to learn to breathe. i jokingly said this, "what if it tastes bad?" then i thought this, "do baby's even have taste buds at that stage?" so when do baby's in the womb develop taste buds?

My husband wants to have some alcohol shipped to the house for personal use. we live in MS, but he's not sure about the laws on shipping alcohol to this state. i have no clue either. one is vodka and the other is a type of champagne. is it legal to ship it to MS from say somewhere in FL ordering it online or will he need to buy it at a store in MS?

I'm about 9 weeks pregnant, and am very constipated. drinking water and all the other things that i've been told to do don't work, so i've resorted to taking dual action colon cleanse. my question is, will that cause a miscarriage?
