5 AnswersHair1 decade agoMy cat went missing on the same week(a year later) as my previous cat?
Last year, a week before halloween, my adorable black kitty named Shadow went missing. I was so heartbroken but I eventually moved on and hoped that another family had taken her in. I then adopted another kitten named Veruca and she just went missing. The only problem: she went missing the same week as Shadow, just a year later. I checked all the local shelters, put up sign, but nothing has worked. This has to be connected. There has to be some scum-of-the-earth kid doing this in my neighborhood as a Halloween prank. I'm 17 years old and I know most of the kids in my neighborhood; it's a really expensive place to live but all the kids are snotty and rude.
What do I do? My house has surveillance cameras but I'm not sure if they work (I'll check soon). Is there anything I can do? Is this normal for cats to go missing this time? Are the cats normally tourted and killed?
4 AnswersCats1 decade agoMy finger has peeled in the exact same spot, and in the exact same way for over 6 years?
For the longest time, my finger has peeled in a straight line on my index finger. The peeling comes out in a perfect,single flap of skin (ew lol sorry). It runs down from almost the tip of my finger to my knuckle on the side of my finger. It peels like, once a month and I have a permanent scar because of it.
Why the heck does this happen? It's super gross.
1 AnswerSkin Conditions1 decade agoDoes a family history in the military increase your chances in getting in to West Point?
I have a long family history of military service and I would love to attend West Point. Will it help me? For reference:
Grandpa: in the calvary. Some of the medals received: Purple heart
Grandpa's brother: Died in a Kamikaze attack in the Battle of Okinawa
Uncle: Fought in Vietnam. Recieved a Silver Star.
Grandmother: Worked in military intelligence
Uncle: ROTC
Cousin: Died in Vietnam
Aunt: I have no idea but she served at some point.
Other grandpa: Normandy Beach storming, second wave. He has a bunch of medals, including a Purple Heart.
Etc.
My dad skipped the draft for Vietnam so neither of my parents are vets, oh well. Anyways, will this help? Some of their military records are pretty impressive, does that hold weight?
5 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoWhy do I turn in to a Schizophrenic before I go to sleep?
Every since I was a child I've had strange things go on in my head before i went to sleep. It started as music playing in my head when I layed down to go to sleep. Soon after it turned in to a bunch of voices. It sounded like a giant group of people mingling at a party; each with their own conversation. I'm was able to focus on a single conversations and normally, it's was either just semi-coherent small talk or someone saying my name constantly.
Now that I'm older, I've been having more trouble with sleeping. Instead of music and voices, I just get extremely depressed. It's absolutely horrible and makes me afraid to even lay my head down because I get anxious and scared about everything in my life. I feel like I've fallen in to a pit every single time I try to fall asleep. Recently, I've begun to see horrible images of things that I can't find the right words to describe (monsters sort of), which only makes me less eager to go to bed. I'm a very happy person during the day with no problems but at night I just crash.
Anyways, why do I turn in to a Schizophrenic before I go to sleep because I really don't like feeling crazy? Is this normal? Should I see someone about this?
3 AnswersMental Health1 decade agoWhy can't they make sugar-free cereal?
Sugar free cereal would be amazing! So why don't they just make it? There's a giant market for it and people would definitely buy it. Is there something wrong with the sweeteners or does sugar free stuff taste different than regular sugar?

7 AnswersRap and Hip-Hop1 decade agoWhy do most people in the black community hate W.E.B Du Bois?
I remember reading in history about how he encouraged blacks to keep their own culture instead of conforming to white customs like Booker T Washington. Although, this was a while ago so I may be wrong but...
Why do most black people dislike him then? I say most, because recently I've been watching a lot of tv and african-american characters that suck up to the white guy are usually name "Du Bois" or they mention an organization made by Du Bios (besides the NAACP) that was made to keep blacks "down'. Any experts care to enlighten me?
1 AnswerSociology1 decade agoWhat's that called when you print a design out and then you fold it to make a 3-d model?
I saw some people print out a picture of a fiddler crab from this website and it told them where to fold it. Eventually they made a 3-d crap that stood up-right. Do you know what that art is called? I',m not sure it's the same as origami but maybe.
Also, could you show me a website with some free templates of that sort of stuff?
2 AnswersOther - Visual Arts1 decade agoNervous about playing my first tennis tournament?
I'm 17 and I'm going to play in my first tennis tournament in order to get state ranked (so I can hopefully get a scholorship). However, I have NO idea what to expect at all. I'm an okay player but I fully expect to get my *** handed to me by the girls there. So in order to lessen my eventual humiliation...what should I expect at my first tourny so I'm not clueless?
-who will I play?
-who will be watching? Parents? College scouts?etc(it's a USTA local tournament thing)
-what happens if I lose? I just go home? Is it countted against me in some way?
Thank you!

1 AnswerChemistry1 decade agoI think my black cat was stolen because it's almost Halloween. What can I do?
My poor solid black kitty, named Shadow, has been missing since last week. This is the first time she's ever been gone and she's an outdoors cat. It's almost Halloween and I worried she was taken because she's a black cat and some sicko wants to use her as decoration or maybe even in a sacrifice ritual. Is there anything I can do? I've been to many shelters and put up signs but nothing works. Is there a chance she might be dropped off at a shelter after halloween?
