  • Ever heard so much BS come out of someone that you didn't know where to begin to rebut it?

    This happens to me all the time. A person is just talking, or is involved in a discussion with you and they say so many things that don't make sense that you can't even argue with it because your mind is tied up wondering where to start? Sometimes I can recuperate, but other times it ends up making me look like I've been beaten, even though I was trying to figure out how to begin and in what order to address them so the person understands that what they said is ridiculous.

    This ever happened to you? How do you deal with it if it has? Ways to buy time to straighten your thoughts and maintain your calm? Let me know. Please!

  • How can I run farther without trouble?

    I used to not exercise at all, I've always had a fast metabolism even though I consumed about 4000 calories a day (I used to eat king size triple whopper meals myself) so I maintained a steady healthy weight (135 at 5'3 1/2) but I began resistance training a year ago and I'm building a lot of muscle but I'm trying to get ripped. So I cut my caloric intake to no more than 1800 calories a day but usually 1500. And I run a mile a day in a hilly neighborhood (the sub division I live in is a mile long circle). But I can only do one circle, I feel like it's a little easier now than the first time (I run it in under not 10 min just not sure exactly) I just want to be able to do the mile without getting winded or fatigued so I can maybe do 2 miles in the summer. Is there a way to guarantee my cardiovascular system gets stronger? Is what I'm doing enough? I'm very bad with cadence which causes me to get a stitch every time (I run through it). Sorry to talk your head off, any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Vista style folder organization in Windows XP?

    I went back to Windows XP from Vista a little while ago after my Sidekick couldn't connect to it and I've been trying to replace everything I liked about Vista, which wasn't a whole lot. Anyway what I liked most was the folder organization, the ability to sort by keywords and stack the groups of files, is there a way I can get this kind of functionality in Windows XP? If there was I'd never need to upgrade to Vista again XP is far more stable at the moment but even with increased stability all Vista would bring to the table is a little more flash and better security (which can be a curse).

  • DVD-RW shows as DVD-Ram?

    I have 2 lightscribe DVD1040 DVD-RW drives. Today they changed in My Computer to DVD-Ram drives. And give me this error when putting in a burnable disc: E:/ is not accessible Incorrect function. (So you know, the Icon for the drive changes to CD-R whenever a disc is inserted) I reinstalled my OS in frustration trying to fix this problem. But the problem is still there. If it helps my Hard Drive and Backup Partition switched drive letters as well. Any help would be appreciated.

  • String of Comedians dying lately?

    Anyone notice that Brad Renfro, George Carlin, and Bernie Mac have all died within the last year? Even Heath Ledger who wasn't a comedian but had played the Joker right before he died. It's creepy to me but more than likely coincidence. What do you think?

  • Pirate Bay down for you?

    Three questions:

    Are you unable to access thepiratebay.org?

    Are you with Comcast?

    And if you frequent it, do you know a way to connect to it?

    I ask this because I believe Comcast is blocking my access to this site, which violates the supposed, "net neutrality" that says they can't restrict or remove access to any site on the net. Let me know if there's a way to connect I know I'm not the only one because there was a forum discussion on the topic.

  • No tech options while playing Blitzball?

    In Final Fantasy X I am playing the first Blitzball match, I've never beaten this match. I have the Jecht Shot, but even after leveling to 3 I don't get the option to do the Jecht Shot or the Sphere Shot. I'm just supposed to select shoot with Tidus and it should give me the tech options, right?

  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma: Army soldier with throat slicing ability, how do I block it?

    This was the same in the first ninja gaiden and it's extremely frustrating, I haven't found a way to block the thing short of staying on the other side of the room (lol, just away from him until I can get the chance to attack) but that's not always possible when you have so many surrounding you (I'm on the airship in a room with what I believe to be an unending swarm of army soldiers and a scarab). If anyone can give me some tips on handling these bastards I'd be much obliged.

  • How do I talk on Gears Of War Online?

    I have play Halo 3 online and I found from a friend that if there are more than 4 players in a game you have to press the d-pad to talk. Well I got on Gears for the first time online yesterday and I couldn't figure out how to talk so I could ask them how I tell who's who (everybody looks freakin' identical unless you're up in their face, and I end up shooting teammates while the enemies put the hurtin' on me). Anyway question was what is the button to talk?

  • Items not displaying properly in World Of Warcraft?

    I just bought World of Warcraft and my only problem playing it was that the items in my back pack and other places would show only partially, overlapping with items that aren't in the slot, or not at all. Is there a patch to fix this? What can be causing this?

  • Renew Forklift License?

    My father has a forklift certification for New York state. We recently moved to Georgia and now to get a job as a forklift operator he needs Georgia certification, how can he get re-certified? All I have found is full company certification services. Is there a way to certify before getting a job? Because it's hard to get into the jobs without the certification.

    Thanks In Advance .\/,,

  • Why doesn't God speak to people who don't believe in him?

    I'm agnostic, but the nagging question for me is, why wouldn't God speak to people even if they don't try. I personally have never "spoken" to God, even before I gave up on faith, back when I used to pray. I've heard people say they've talked to Him/Her but never tell me what He/She sounds like or explain how they knew.

    I'm only one person and I represent only one viewpoint that I try to keep unbiased, but I'd like a believable answer to this question. Why doesn't God speak to the people he wants to believe in Him?

  • Trying to build large muscle.?

    I'm 5'4 I was 135 pounds last time I was weighed. I have broad shoulders which has always given me a built look. I do basic weight training (Curls, Lat Pull Downs, Rows, Leg Curls and Extensions, Bench Press etc.) I have muscle building just not going as fast as I thought. I was wondering what the best exercises and weights would be for someone like me.

    I do standing Barbell Bicep Curls, Preacher Curls, Chins and Shrugs all at 30 lbs.

    I do Skull Crushers and forearm extensions at 20 lbs.

    I do lat pulldowns at 45 pounds (most I can fit, I use a bench at home).

    Narrow grip Bench Press, Bench Press, Incline Bench press at 50 lbs.

    Leg extensions and curls at 30 lbs.

    All of them for 4 sets of 12 with 10 sec rest in between.

    My routine is probably flugged by any standards but I don't really have any guidelines to go by so I've just been lifting and lifting, but it hasn't been getting any easier which brings me here.

    I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help. Peace .\/,,

  • What can cause trouble breathing through the nose?

    I have always had difficulty breathing through my nose either one side or the other and have been plagued by sneezing fits that last for days on end. More often than not it's on one side of the nose and it gets quite annoying trying to breathe out of it and eating is especially difficult since I can't breathe through my nose while I chew. I've tried blowing my nose vigorously to no avail and usually ending in another sneezing fit which usually last about three days sneezing every 45 sec min and up to 3 min. I know of deviated septum's causing difficulty breathing in one side but they have to be repaired surgically. I'm going to stop before I rattle on. Thanks in Advance. Peace .\/,,
