If you would mention your age, that would be great because the younger you are I imagine the younger your answer will be.

This epitaph is found on a lot of graves in the American South from the 1800s. Does anyone know what it's from? A hymn or the Bible maybe?

My spouse takes Clonazepam and on the days she takes it she is very noticeably meaner and more easily provoked than on days she doesn't take it. Has anyone else noticed this with someone they know? I also have a friend that takes it regularly and she tends to be mean too.

10 gallon tank, one fire belly gourami (2 inch long), 4 live plants. Had 5 cardinal tetras and an oto but the oto died and the ammonia spiked. The rest died except the gourami. Ammonia has been in the 4-8ppm range the past month. I've used Amquel, API AmmoLock, StressZyme, Biozyme all at different points in the last few weeks. Done partial water changes every couple days. Replaced all but an inch of water today, vac'd the gravel really good, and immediately tested with API Ammonia test kit and I've got 4ppm still. I change the carbon filter every 2 weeks, never the little plastic "bio filter". Am I doing too much? Why won't it go down? It was fine before the oto died (didn't find him right away and he decomposed a bit). Help?!

The only way I can think of to say someone is being merciful is to say exactly that, but merciful is an adjective. Does anyone know of a verb in the English language that means "to be merciful"?

I lift weights and I do the deadlift, which I especially like, so I don't think my back muscles are weak. In fact, sometimes when I stand in one position for a while, it's like my spinal erectors seize up on me, like they're actually too strong. What could be causing this? Bad posture? Weak abs?

I was buying them a few years ago when they had a fixed rate above 0 and looked at them today to see the fixed rate is 0%. These are US Treasury bonds. Why would buying one of these be a good idea? I know there's a variable rate so you would be earning some interest.

Isn't that discrimination based on national origin and illegal? The company and I are both located in the United States and I am a citizen. The foreign worker would be working from their country. Does anyone know?

Yesterday I saw someone on TV say you can't buy a pig's head anymore. They implied there was a reason we should be familiar with why you can't buy one anymore, like it was illegal or something. Then today I saw a guy in a restaurant (on TV again) de-boning a pig's head to make something to serve in his restaurant. Now, I have no desire for pig's head, I'm just curious why buying a pig's head would be prohibited, and curious to know if it is actually prohibited. Does anyone know?

I have an 8 year old female black Lab named Fisher who over the last couple of years has become very afraid of all clicking. If you cluck your tongue she leaves the room. She will no longer come into the kitchen because all the sounds there scare her. The computer now scares her when it dings. She was never clicker trained and I don't know what could have started this. She's starting to fear the house in general because of all the noises there. Anyone have this experience or know what I can do?

I know "cuillere a cafe" is a coffee spoon, but what is "cuillere a cafe bombee"? It's in a French recipe.

Or is Moses considered the first Jew? The first Jew couldn't have been born of a Jewish mother so he would have been a convert in a sense. Right?

I don't think most masses are conducted in Latin anymore. Does the Catholic Church still prefer Latin to other languages for religious purposes? Does it encourage or educate its members to learn or at least understand Latin? Is it considered better to pray in Latin or does it not matter? I'm just curious because languages are a hobby of mine.

I have my own copies of Artscroll translations of the Babylonian Talmud. Is it okay to highlight in the English translation and footnotes and to write brief notes for my own benefit? It would make study a lot easier but it feels like marking up a holy book. What do you think? Is there a law on this?

He's fed, so he's not hungry. I thought this might be entertainment for him, or is it just a tease? Please give me your thoughts. Once he fell asleep with his face pressed against the glass when I accidentally left them where he could see them.

Are non-Hindus who are open to Hinduism welcome at Hindu ceremonies/worship? Are they allowed to participate at all or only to observe?

Nothing against him, I just get a Spock vibe when I see him on TV. I wonder if it's just me.

Any suggestions of quiet beach spots for people in their 30s-40s?

Does Islam forbid the use of the occult, things like fortune-telling, astrology, talking to the dead? Does it express any opinion on it at all?
