First of all, this happened about 3 to 5 years ago and I live in Buffalo, NY.

I got this bug bite one day that was bigger than normal, but it itched like normal. Everything was fine except the size. The next day, two faint marks were visible where it appeared that a spider had bitten me. It stayed like that for a few days, but after that five little red circles appeared on the bite. They were all the same size and were arranged in a perfect trapezoid (two on top, three below). It was like that for a couple days, when the circles started to very gradually rise out of the bite. Once again, it was like that for about two days, when I woke up the next day and everything was gone: the red bumps, the fang marks, even the bite itself. I was perfectly fine (showed no symptoms other than itching). I just remembered this the other day and I really want to know if it was a spider or something else that bit me, and if it was a spider if anyone could tell me what type it was. Thanks!

I know it sounds strange, but does anybody have any bets you will always lose? I want to purposely lose a bet and I can't think of anything I will surely lose.

I'm signed up to do a dictée tomorrow, but I don't really know that much. I know I'm supposed to copy what is spoken, but that's it. The information says that it will take less than an hour, but how long in general are the actual passages? Any other information would be helpful also.

I've only got Benn on the bench because he hasn't signed with the Stars yet. Any trade possibilities, possible waiver additions, and where am I light?

Current players only. Here's mine:

I've heard that Ken Whisenhunt, Lovie Smith, Jay Gruden, Andy Reid, and Mike McCoy could all be the future coach. Personally, I'd like to see McCoy or Lovie come here. Who do you think the Bills have the best chance of hiring and why?

I'm looking to buy a Seahawks jersey. I'm going wolf grey but should I get Rice or Wilson and why?

I am currently a freshman and I want to start high school football next year. I weigh about 170, but I'm not very fat. Sure, I'm not the smallest guy for my age (I do have some fat), but I am pretty strong and muscular. I am not fast at all. I'm about 5' 5" right now but I still haven't hit my growth spurt yet. Just wondering what position you think I would be good for.

In the hockey movie Goon, a man who looks like Tim Thomas steps off the St. John's Shamrocks' bus behind Ross Rhea. Could someone please clarify as to who that was?

In the background behind Ross Rhea as he is getting off the Shamrocks' bus, it appears that Tim Thomas of the Bruins is also a Shamrock. I don't know if it is him though can someone please clarify?

I'm leaning toward Dalton, but I don't know if I can bench Brees. What should I do?

I can start 9 players this week, but I don't know who to start I can play 1 QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 D/ST. My team is:

Drew Brees, QB

Andy Dalton, QB

Miles Austin, WR

Danny Amendola, WR

Cecil Shorts, WR

Golden Tate, WR

Jamaal Charles, RB

Marshawn Lynch, RB

Mikel Leshoure, RB

Rob Gronkowski, TE (definitely not in)

Scott Chandler, TE

Connor Barth, K

Adam Vinatieri, K

New England, D/ST

I am looking to pick up Brandon Myers (OAK, TE) for Chandler to replace Gronk, but who should I start?

I don't know who to start at RB this week. I have Marshawn Lynch, Jamaal Charles, and Mikel LeShoure. I am definitely starting Lynch, but who else should I start?
