Open Question: Buying a wedding dress online?

Hi All! So I've found a dress I love but its out of my price range. I have found some sites online that custom make designer styles for WAY less money, but I'm a bit nervous to order a gown without knowing anything about the companies.

Open Question: Would you be your husbands DD while pregnant?

I was curious how other pregnant wives, girlfriends, fiances, felt about being a DD for their husband and his friends? I know some women feel the man should be kinda pregnant along with them, if i can't drink, nor can he, whereas others don't mind it at all. This week I'm going to be DD for hubby and two of his friends (maybe more, and all guys). It's not the best of situations since I can't just drop them off and pick them up later, it's far enough away I have to stick around for the night, and like I mentioned it's all his guy friends. They have a tendency to goof off and ignore me when they're sober let alone when they're drunk. So I'm probably ganna be lonely bored and frustrated that evening. Suggestions? I'm thinking about bringing a portable dvd player and blanket and curling up in the car, lol, would I be being a poor sport? more

Algebra 2 help.. I am soo grateful for anyones help? Algebra 2 systems help.. I am soo grateful for anyones help? Height-Mass Problem, Second Model The masses of similarly shaped people vary directly with the cube of their height. however, tall people tend to be thinner in proportion to their height than short people. Assume that the masses of people of average build vary with some power of their height, close to 3 but not quite equal to three. The following average heights and masses are published for boys and girls: Height Boys Girls 150cm 45kg 41kg 180cm 74kg 67kg a. Write the particular equation for boys expressing mass in terms of height. Since there are tow unknown constants (the exponent and the proportionality constant), you must substitute both ordered pairs into the equation and solve the resulting system for the constants. You can make the equations linear by taking the logs of both members first. b. Write another equation for girls, as in part a, above. c. Predict Sally Forth's mass. She is 173 cm tall.

Open Question: Karl Marx - A Tribute - what do you know about him?

Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818 – March 14, 1883) was a German philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist, and revolutionary, whose ideas are credited as the foundation of modern communism. Karl Marx is best known not as a philosopher but as a revolutionary communist, whose works inspired the foundation of many communist regimes in the twentieth century. It is hard to think of many who have had as much influence in the creation of the modern world. Trained as a philosopher, Marx turned away from philosophy in his mid-twenties, towards economics and politics.

Open Question: Where can I get a relatively small, low res, battery powered video image transmitter online or store: WA, Aus?

If I have a camera in one place, and I want to see live video (no audio) from a different location within a 800 meter radius of the camera, where would I go to get a video transmitter. It must be battery powered because the camera will be mobile and not within accessible range of a base power source, it must be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and it need not be high resolution. Can you help me? Even if your not from Perth, Australia, any suggestions would be appreciated!! more

Open Question: Would you like to read my tribute to a unique verbal stylist?

The Sentence of Sarah Palin It all starts out in such simplicity, But then it takes a turn, another one, And then so many more the mystery Is where we are; it’s like a gauntlet run Through endless tunneled words and cul-de-sacs Of phrasal adjectives and particles, And baseless clauses; yea, there is no lack Of convoluted syntax, articles, Or sadly, misappropriated grammar That rambles, though it’s aimed foursquare between Your eyes, a poorly crafted verbal hammer That claws its way to death without a peen, A thing that’s empty although fully crammed, And what is more, it can’t be diagrammed. more

Open Question: This Virgo guy is really confusing me, could I have some opinions?

So I'm a girl Virgo and me and this guy Virgo started talking towards the end of February. He gave me his number about a day or two later and after that, that was when we first talked in class. He sits behind me and the only thing we said to each other was hi in the beginning. He's really talkative and I'm extremely shy. My friend that knows him had a word with him and asked what he thought of me so he told her he thinks it's cute that I'm shy, but he's hoping I'll break out of my shell. I have no problem texting him, or talking when it's just the two of us because I have hung out with him before but when we talk in person at school or around others is when I'm at a loss for words. I have begun to talk a bit more to him in class but I'm still not fully there. The same friend that asked him about me found out from his brother that he likes talkative girls and that's just not me. What I'm not understanding is why he insists on texting me almost every day if he wants a talkative girl. I know he's a very friendly person to begin with, I'm just not sure if he's only being nice to me or if he has at least a little interest in me. We do flirt occasionally and I compliment him but I'm the one that usually starts. Like he's called me goregous, he told me I was cool and everything but sometimes it's just off and on and I don't understand. Now I know you shouldn't use astrology to base everything off of, I'm just hoping I could get a little more insight. My moon sign is in Scorpio, his is in Leo and we both have Sagittarius rising. more

Open Question: Help with paragraph fluency?

I am writing an argumentative essay on Euthanasia ... could you help with the fluency of this paragraph... There are many reasons for euthanasia to be legalized. In a recent survey by Sky News more than 75% of Britons agreed with Euthanasia. This shows its growing desire. The main reason for this many people have seen friends or family in a situation where euthanasia could have been an option. It is hard to watch loved ones in pain. Euthanasia would prevent unbearable suffering and would give the families hope. It allows patients to retain their dignity in dying; they can choose their own fate and gives survivors of the deceased some comfort knowing their loved one did not suffer any more than was absolutely necessary. It provides relief when the patient’s quality of life is low. It frees up medical equipment and beds for others who have a higher chance of survival. I dont mind if you put in multiple paragraphs ... Thanks Emma more

Open Question: Guys, why would you say you were a girl's boyfriend if you weren't!?

i was with my crush and some of our mutual friends at bar one night. while i was in the bathroom, a man walked up to my crush and asked "Is that your girlfriend" and my crush said yes! (My best friend witnessed this). So, here's the thing, we have been friends for a while now, so do you think he did that just to "protect" me or something? Later that night, he asked to kiss me for the first time! I thought it was great, but I'm not sure what his intentions were. I think he may be shy. So, would you say you were a girl's boyfriend to "protect" her or because you straight up like her? more
