Open Question: Help! I didnt pass the stupid MCA MATH, what can i do to improve?

Fine...go ahead and laugh, say its soo easy how could i not pass it. Well God gave you a smart brain so quit being a $$^^%...The MCA MATH is completely pointless and worthless. Its just making me feel like a stupid idiot. I passed the Writing and Reading already. Im a good student, with mostly Bs. But the stupid MCA MATH is killing me. I went to summer school and I attended a MCA MATH/ALG2 class and got an A in that class. BUT HOW COME I DIDNT PASS THE STUPID MCA? Im so mad. I got the results and I went down four points! My first score was 46 and after taking it again in the summer, I got 44. Im so mad. Can anyone help me?? Im going to be a senior this year...I feel like an idiot. UGH. It makes me so mad, I want to go commit suicide and kill myself so I wont have to take this stupid test...And why do we even have to pass it anyway?? Its just a waste of my credits. At school its like we're given three chances to re take the test and if we dont pass, we still graduate from h.s. at least it showed that we try, but Im still not happy about taking it. I dont want to be a failure.i hate it when my brother always bring this up..he says im stupid for not passing it because its so easy...and if i cant even pass this test then i shouldnt even consider into going to college...is this true? more

Open Question: I think I failed my math quiz?

We took our first math quiz of the year. It was only worth like 15 points but I think I failed. I didn't get much time to study because of sports and when I took the test I forgot how to do several problems. I'm really worried right now cuz my math class is 2 years ahead of my grade level and equivelent to an ap class and the teachers always find ways to kick you out of the class if your not doing well. I'm also worried cuz it was a review quiz which is supposed to be easy and I feel like an idiot. Other kids make me feel bad about myself cause there always like "oh man i did so bad, i can't believe I got a 97%". I'm a good student, I get straight A's in everything except math, and I'm already worried that this will put me in a hole. more

Open Question: Pregnant possibly?????????

I'll make this short and sweet. I am no idiot to pregnancy, I have a 4 year old little girl and a almost 3 year old little boy, so I've been there done that. I have been on the Mirena IUD (the one that lasts for 5 years) for 6 months now. About a month and a half ago, my breasts swelled up a cup size, my nails are awesome (only happened while pregnant, lol) and my sense of smell is amazing all of a sudden. I took 3 pregnancy tests one a week for the past 3 weeks and all came out negative. I am honestly confused. I "feel" like I might be pregnant due to signs, but on the other hand I know this might be Mirena side effects, maybe? Any thoughts?The part I am having a tough time with is when to take a pregnancy test. My periods stopped completely, I'm not even spotting. So I can't exactly "miss" a period to know when to take it!! more

I'm not a complete idiot... i just feel like one right now. more

Open Question: What score do you need on a Programming Aptitude Test?

I just applied to work for a software company and I had to take an online programmer aptitude test. Like an idiot I took my sweet time and only managed to answer 25 of the 40 questions within the hour time limit. I'm pretty sure I got those all correct though, that's about a 62 score. Do I have a chance of getting an interview? more

Open Question: Is an IQ of 195 bad or good?

wasn't einstein's iq somewhere around 160?!?! i keep taking different iq tests on the web and they all shut down from processing my results. everbody including my parents thinks im an idiot but websites and especially my pets think im special............ Lol....it makes me laugh to see questions like this on yahoo answers. I think we all want to stand out someway but this is ridiculous! Fools offering advice or criticism to more fools like some mutual online orgy. HAHA! Pseudo-psychology websites offer their own IQ tests with ridiculousely high standard deviations to flatter people into spreading their disease, and the EQ test, bah. Oh, and for the sake of the asking and answering movements, just TELL ME IF 195 IS AN ACCEPTABLE IQ!! lol. more

Resolved Question: Chemistry and Biology Year 10 GCSE IAAs.. Help?

Okay so I decided, like an idiot to do mine after the summer holidays, I was expecting to revise the whole time but being as weak minded as I am, I spent the whole time playing video games and watching movies. So I have a worksheet on the chemistry, it's based on a practical I paid no attention to but I still have a few notes telling me about patterns in chemical formulae and stuff about the melting point of a solid, checking the temperature of it and what I could do to the liquid that's boiling it if the solid where to change. With the Physics, it's mainly about rays, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Stuff like how Alpha rays can't pass paper, Beta can't pass tin or something and Gamma can't pass lead, I honestly don't know what to revise on this stuff despite telling you some of it. I really don't wanna screw these tests up because I need to get at least B's in Science to take on biology as an A level to get into Medical school. What should I revise on? All help is extremely appreciated, and please, if you have nothing useful to say, don't say anything, this is really serious to me, I can't take any piss takes. more

Open Question: Algebra Honors Help Please?

Okay, so I just started Algebra Honors, and my teacher just gave us homework without even explaining anything. Literally. I pay attention in class (especially that one) and all he did is call role, assign seats, hand out text books to take home, and gave homework. I think he's just testing our abilities, but I don't want to seem like a complete idiot, so if you could explain how to find the answers to this problem, That would be really nice. First, what is the decimal form of 3|-0.2| ? If you could explain how to answer that, and what the "|" 's mean, that would be great. I'm not stupid, I didn't pay a lot of attention in class LAST year, because I've always been good at math, and I didn't think I'd see anything too new. Thanks!, LionnThanks! Wow, I do remember learning the absolute value thing, I just never remember that. more

Open Question: what to do if you have a problem with a teacher.?

My wife has a professor for Geography that is a complete idiot. He is not teaching geography, he is using the class to impart false information on everything but the actual class. When he does begin to teach Geography he is incorrect about he majority of what he is teaching, and the other part is only partially correct. the obvious fear is being handicapped by this teacher in future classes, and the immediate fear is failing this class because of reciting the correct information on tests and homework. are there any bureaucratic steps that can be taken to have this corrected? cite sources. more

Voting Question: Have you seen these bumper stickers anywhere?

3 kinds of people: those who can count & those who can’t. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. I love cats … they taste just like chicken. Out of my mind. Back in five minutes. Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools. Laugh alone and the world thinks you’re an idiot. Sometimes I wake up grumpy; Other times I let her sleep. Don’t blame me, I’m from Uranus. Your kid may be an honor student but you’re still an IDIOT! It IS as bad as you think, and they ARE out to get you. When you do a good deed, get a receipt, in case heaven is like the IRS. Friends don’t let Friends drive Naked. I took an IQ test and the results were negative. When there’s a will, I want to be in it! Okay, who stopped the payment on my reality check? If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? It’s lonely at the top, but you eat better. Warning: Dates in Calendar are closer than they appear. Give me ambiguity or give me something else. Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot. He who laughs last thinks slowest. Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy. Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. Why is “abbreviation” such a long word? more

Voting Question: I am so stressed out with school!! Please help!!?

I have ADD, and this year I am going to a new school. The school I went to last year basically spoon fed everything to you, there was only 5 hours a school, and no homework. They helped people with ADD and it was more 1 on 1, and there were only like 10 students in the entire school. (Yes, I know it's crazy). Now I'm at a more traditional private school. Here is how their grading scale works-40 percent is tests, 30 percent is quizzes, 20 percent is homework, and 10 percent is classwork. I am really bad at studying, and I forget most of the stuff. I think I am an idiot for real. I have a hard time in pretty much all of my subjects. Everybody else understands everything and I don't, and I have a hard time keeping up with the teachers in class. I have homework every night, usually about an hour to an hour and a half. I know that is not a terrible amount compared to some other schools, but it is still a big transition from my other school with no homework. Every time the teachers tell us there will be a test or a quiz I always stress out. Here is an example of how bad in school I am-Last year I took Spanish 1, and this year I had to take Spanish 2. I forgot pretty much everything I learned last year and now I am in Chinese 1 for a fresh start. I know Chinese is a harder language and I am afraid the same thing is going to happen again. I am in my junior year so I have to take the SAT or ACT soon, and I will probably do bad on that. I know it doesn't sound like the greatest attitude, but it is how I feel. My parents know that I am trying my hardest, and when I get bad grades on quizzes sometimes they understand, but I feel like an idiot. I am also a procrastinator and I blow all my homework to the last minute, and I have been trying to do better, but it is not always working. It's not just the academic part of school either. Socially, I am terrible. Most of the people seem nice, but I am really socially terrible. I a very shy and only have a couple friends. There is this really nice girl that I think likes me, and I like her, and I have been talking to her a little bit, but of the lot of the time I don't know what to say or I am scared of making myself look like an idiot. Sorry for the really long post and thanks for reading, and thanks for any advice you can give me. more

Voting Question: I need school advice!! I am so stressed out!!?

Resolved Question: Question towards religious psychologists; what do you do in the case of a patient hearing your God's voice?

I've always been curious as to what religious psychologists would do in the case where one of their patients claimed to have heard the voice or have seen "God" or "Allah" or whatever religion that psychologist believes in. Would you let your religion take over and say "Good, you are finally communicating with [insert religious figure]"? Or would you follow the protocol of your profession and have the person tested and treated for possible schizophrenia and epilepsy? Knowing that the first signs of schizophrenia is hearing voices of people/imaginary figures you know of or read about ie: God, angels, demons etc. I tried asking in the religious section, but only got trolls, idiots and people pretending to be psychologists. more

Resolved Question: I'm confused as to what my body is doing? Am I pregnant?

OK, so before all you "smart ones" out there decide to chastise me and tell me to take a pregnancy test, my period ended on the 20th of august this month, so it's way too early to take a test even if I wanted to. My husband and I want a baby, but we are not trying at this moment in time. We don't use condoms and I don't take the pill, because if it happens it happens. But for the last few days or so I've been getting nauseous right after eating or while eating. We had sex the day after my period ended the day after, and then again on the 24th of august (today is the 25). I have an app on my phone that tells me when I have high fertility when my next period ends and so on. According to this app I had sex on1 of the days that I was highest in fertility. However my husband doesn't ejaculate in me, and I know you can get pregnant from pre, plus we usually do it twice in a row, and he doesn't really wipe himself off well. I have cramping like my period is going to come within the next couple days kind of cramping, and I just started getting cramping in my left ovary, indicating either implantation or just an egg dropping down. Here's the catch. A week or so ago, I got a wasp sting on my leg that turned into an infection, and I had to take stuff for it that your not supposed to take if your pregnant (which I knew I wasn't at the time). Now I don't know if I am, and some of the side effects of the meds are nausea, headaches etc. so it could be just from my meds, but I haven't really been taking them regularly because I'm really bad at remembering to do that, however if I am pregnant I don't want to continue taking them and harm the baby, you know? So could it be my medication, could I be pregnant, or could it all just be in my head. I really hate going to doctors because most of the time they aredumb, give me a pregnancy test (which I know will be negative cause its too early) and say umm ahhh it's negative (and then continue to look at me like an idiot) so does anyone know whats going on, I've never gotten this nauseous feeling while eating, and it's literally ANYTHING i eat or drink. please help! thanks more

Resolved Question: What is wrong with American society today?

I am 18, and in my lifetime, I have never seen so many people pissed off at everything- themselves, their families, the U.S. government, the President himself, even innocent people like the guy behind the cash register at the grocery store. Not to mention you used to be able to keep your doors at your house unlocked without having to worry about some idiot trying to steal from you to fund his drug addiction and killing everyone in your house if you are home. There are weirdo pedophiles running around everywhere in this country and parents can hardly even take their eyes off their kids. Kids are now hardly going outside and spend their time watching T.V. or playing XBox, if they have not already gotten into smoking pot, having unprotected sex, or drinking. Kids are adults alike in this country are generally pretty unintelligent when compared to people in other countries; our test scores rank next to the intellectual superpower Slovenia and 24% of Americans don't know what country the U.S. fought in the Revolutionary War if you want to know how bad the situation is. Parents oftentimes don't even act like parents anymore because they are so afraid of being accused of child abuse if they lay one finger on their kid, and they let their kids run the show. I know there were a decent amount of weirdos in basically every generation of American history, but it was never as bad as it is today.And you can watch Jerry Springer or the Maury show to get a glimpse of what I am talking about. On the Maury show one time, there was a 15 year old girl who had unprotected sex with over 300 men. I am pretty sure that didn't happen every day in the 1950's. more

Voting Question: should obama dem voters be allowed to have children...God I hope not?

you people still defend your idiot action of voting for them and still ignore that you helped ruin our country and lives a law must be passed for people to take a test that asks you who is the currant pres, vice, speaker, 1st thru lets say 5 amendments. you idiots ruined our lives and you ignore it so you can get up in the morning...it would be better if you stayed in bed where noone can see or hear you more

Resolved Question: Im so scared to take an HIV Test! Please help!?

I am a 23yr old gay black male, and I had unprotected sex a little over 2 weeks ago with another gay black male! I know I am such a stupid idiot for not protecting myself but it's not like I CHOSE not to, I just forgot to use a condom; my mind was in another place at the time and I didn't bother telling him to wrap up before we had sex! My friend has convinced me to get tested tomorrow but I heard getting tested this soon is pointless because the test can not detect HIV within the first 3 months of contracting it! My throat was a little sore yesterday but maybe that was because I always sleep under the air conditioner! It didn't last long, it went away pretty quickly! Now today my muscles are kinda aching... my knees and my neck/shoulders! I heard those are early signs of HIV! I dont have any lymp nodes or a headache. I dont have a fever or diarrhea... im just feeling a lil drowsy lately and my mind playing tricks on me.... the fact that i have anxiety doesn't make it any better! Im just so scared they're going to say im HIV positive! This is the first time I had unprotected sex and it would be a bloody shame if i've contracted HIV because you have people who are much more promiscuous than i am and haven't contracted anything! What should I do... is it too early to get tested? I mean if the results say negative it wouldn't prove anything because even if i do have it the test will still come back negative because its too soon for the test to detect anything! more

Voting Question: Is it possible that Im Pregnant? I need lots and lots of answers?

Well this is how it goes. Im gonna try to be as detailed as possible. Im very good with my dates btw. So on August 3rd my bf and I had unprocted sex that night and the morning after. Must I remind you we had much more sex before this but protected. I had taken a pregnancy test a week later, because I was feeling a bit tired and I just wanted to make sure. It was negative...then on Aug. 11th we had unprotected sex once again. I was having no signs or symptoms of pregnancy until a week later on Aug. 18th I started what I beleived to be my period it seemed normal until it completely stopped after two days. I was period free for one day then I started having a brown discharge. It freaked me out a bit but I figured it was nothing but gross blood? It resembled nothing like blood at all. This was on the 21st I believe and has been going on for a few days now. I have been having horrible lower back pain. I have strange cramps not horrible just out of the blue cramps. I have sharp side pains and I feel as if Im getting the flu body aches. I'v also been having dieareah for a few days now, my breast were sore, not so sore now though. I really do believe I am pregnant? Everyone think Im crazy, but somthing is telling me somthing is not right...Could anyone tell me what I am experiencing? Has someone experienced this during pregnancy? I want to see a doctor, but I have a pretty busy lifestyle, plus I am afraid to look like a paranoid idiot. So alot alot of answers would be great! more

Resolved Question: My mom is having heavy painful menstrual bleeding for like a year now and shes 42?

The way she describes it, she says it's like a huge rush coming out at once. Then it goes away. Then next week it comes again and its for like 2-3 weeks of heavy bleeding. She went to the doctor and they prescribed her Corvite and Prometrium. Corvite is what i think is just iron b/c shes loosing a lot b/c shes bleeding. I don't understand what the Prometrium is. My mother doesn't want to use the Prometrium b/c it increases you risk of uterine cancer. Her doctor kinda seems like an idiot she hasn't been able to tell her whats wrong for like a year now. My mom is going to take more tests tomorrow. Is menopause anything like this? Should my mom take the medicine? more

Voting Question: Was I Ever Pregnant?

Ok... soo two weeks ago I realised that I was a week late on my period so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. It was a total shock as we have a 9 month old son and we are not trying for another baby and just one night we was a bit stupid and didnt use any protection so gathered that I must have fallen pregnant then; depsite it taking me 15 months to conceive with my son. I took another test the following day just to be sure and that was also positive. So anyway.. I was booked in the following week to go into a private hospital and have a scan done to see how far gone I am etc. The morning of this appointment i woke up with very very bad stomach cramps and shortly after this i started bleeding quite heavily and was really upset and thought that I was misscarrying. So i phoned the hospital and they said that it was best to go in anyway as the baby stil could be ok so they just wanted to see what was going on. So i went in and had an ultrasound scan done but the woman said that she couldnt see anything but put this down to the fact that i was probably only about 5 weeks pregnant. She then asked me to do a urine sample for her which she then tested with a pregnancy test. She said to me 'you're not pregnant'. So i was a bit confused and said so you mean i have misscarried? And she said i dont think so i think you have just come on your period and this is why you are bleeding. She was very very hard to understand as she was foreign. I explained to her how i didn't think you could get a false positive pregnancy test and she told me that you cant and that I must have read the test wrong and sent me on my way and told me to contact my gp if i needed any further assistance. I was really annoyed and upset because im not an idiot an definately did not read the tests wrong and showed my partner and my mum who both said they were positive. I was then bleeding for 6 days but it was the heaviest,clottiest (sorry) period i have ever had. Do you think I was ever pregnant? x more

Resolved Question: What are the signs of real maturity?

I'm 17, and I like to think that I'm pretty mature. I've been through a lot in my life, probably more than a lot of 20 or 30 year olds have been through. For example, my father passed away when I was 6 years old, and my mom completely "collapsed". The house became a COMPLETE (and I mean, COMPLETE) mess, she let herself go physically (teeth started falling out, etc.), debts started piling up.... I was only 6 years old, but as I grew older, I helped out to the best of my abilities (more and more, over the years). We've been able to finally straighten out our lives in the past few years (just for clarification). I still recognize that my mom is sensitive, so I do my best to be there for her, and to be considerate. I try to do this with most people, including my other family members and my friends. I care a lot about my school work, and I try to really work hard. I'm going to be taking a few AP classes this year, and I'm going to try to manage a club or two. I don't have a job, and because of that, I really don't pay any of my own bills, but I do plan on getting a job once I plan my road test (and when I see that having a job is actually possible with all of the classes I'm taking this year). I don't use drugs, sleep around, that sort of thing. I have respect for myself, and I try not to deal with people who don't also show me basic respect. I would say that I've gotten a lot figured out for myself. I'm still confused about life at times, and what I should do, but isn't everyone? I'm still working on it, but I'd say I'm in a good place. I feel like, after what I've been through, that I'm pretty mature; more so than most other people my age, and even more so than many people in their 20s. And yet, people insist that I'm just some idiot kid, and that I'm "clearly" not mature, as I'm 17. Noone takes me seriously. Help?That's exactly what I mean. I mean, I think there are a lot of twenty-something year olds out there who continually get wasted and go out having sex with people they don't know every night. I think I'm in a better position than they are. I'm not saying I'm so much more mature than ALL 20 or 30 year olds, but I do think that I am more so than a lot of them. more

Resolved Question: How can I prove to my ex that our baby was not taken by CPS because of drugs but because of his abuse of me?

My ex the baby's father will not admit that he was the reason they took our son and has been blaming me. He says that I was doing drugs (which I wasn't) during my pregnancy and that our baby tested positive for drugs when he was born. Well if that was true why wasn't I told about it? And instead of the domestic violence classes why didn't CPS send me to a drug rehab or put the "supposed test results" in any of our paperwork? Those aren't my question. My question is: How can I prove to my idiot ex boyfriend that I was not doing drugs and our baby did not test positive for drugs and that drugs are not the reason they took our baby? This case has been closed so I don't know if CPS would help me with something so ridiculous. Maybe the hospital records? Please help because my ex is just absolutely wrong about this and I am being punished by him for something I did not do.We both had to go to domestic violence classes parenting classes and therapy. I finished everything they asked of me and have the certificates to prove it and he didn't finish anything. Even though I did everything they still took our baby and I appealed the case and lost and my son was adopted. It breaks my heart because I did everything they asked. I am bi-polar and sometimes I am depressed. But who wouldn't be if your child was taken away and the father was beating you up physically and mentally. Then on top of that telling me that I did drugs when I didn't just so he doesn't have to face the fact that he caused us to lose our son. He is pure evil I think. more

Voting Question: Just Moved and pending Soon to be Suspended License?

Resolved Question: The three tests ! Where is that......?

A man walks into a bar, notices a very large jar on the counter, and sees that it's filled to the brim with $10 bills. He guesses there must be at least ten thousand dollars in it. He approaches the bartender and asks, "What's with the money in the jar?" "Well..., you pay $10, and if you pass three tests, you get all the money in the jar and the keys to a brand new Lexus." The man certainly isn't going to pass this up, so he asks, "What are the three tests?" "You gotta pay first," says the bartender, "those are the rules." So, after thinking it over a while, the man gives the bartender $10 which he stuffs into the jar. "Okay," says the bartender, "here's what you need to do: First - You have to drink a whole quart of tequila, in 60 seconds or less, and you can't make a face while doing it." "Second - There's a pit bull chained in the back with a bad tooth. You have to remove that tooth with your bare hands." "Third - There's a 90-year old lady upstairs who's never had sex. You have to take care of that problem." The man is stunned! "I know I paid my $10 -- but I'm not an idiot! I won't do it! You'd have to be nuts to drink a quart of tequila and then do all those other things!" "Your call," says the bartender, "but, your money stays where it is." As time goes on, the man has a few more drinks and finally says, "Where's the dem tequila?!" He grabs the bottle with both hands and drinks it as fast as he can. Tears stream down both cheeks -- but he doesn't make a face -- and he drinks it in 58 seconds! Next, he staggers out the back door where he sees the pit bull chained to a pole. Soon, the people inside the bar hear loud growling, screaming, and sounds of a terrible fight -- then nothing but silence! Just when they think that the man surely must be dead, he staggers back into the bar. His clothes are ripped to shreds and he's bleeding from bites and gashes all over his body. He drunkenly says, "Now..., where's that old lady with the bad tooth?" more

Voting Question: What's wrong with my 2004 Dodge Stratus (battery tests "good" but won't operate the vehicle)?

I was picking up some prescriptions at the pharmacy's drive-thru yesterday and I turned the engine off. I don't drive it that often (about 5,000 miles/year) but previous to this, there had been no problems (except for normal "consumables" maintenance) with the car whatsoever. Anyway; when I went to start the car and drive away, it wouldn't turn over. It took a few seconds for the dash lights to come on and the power windows wouldn't budge. The wife and I pushed the car into a parking spot and called for a jump-start. Jump-starting the car worked (to a certain extent). The radio made a horrible noise (sort of like "alternator noise" but more like a popping) so I turned it off. It was then that I noticed that the (digital) odometer and the "idiot light" for the electrical system were flickering. When the car was idling the flicker wasn't noticeable but when the tachometer read above 1,500 or so it would flicker faster and seemed to be stronger (as if the alternator was feeding the car unregulated AC power). ' We made it home and then the car wouldn't start; it was as dead as it was at the pharmacy. We got a battery charger and left it on the car for about half an hour. When I tried to turn it over I heard about five rapid clicks coming from the vicinity of the starter motor and then it was dead again. The charger has a "jump" setting so I tried that. No dice. The funny thing is that the "battery tester" on the charger says the battery is good and my multimeter reads in the vicinity of 12 volts at the battery terminals and when I follow the wiring to the alternator. Yet there's not enough power to operate the power windows or door locks and it takes several seconds for the dash lights to illuminate after I turn the ignition switch to "on". Before the wiseacres chime in; all the fuses and wiring seem to be (or actually test as) good and I've cleaned the battery terminals. I should be getting a code reader over here tomorrow so I'll see what that tells me. For the time being, though, I'm confused by these conflicting symptoms. Any ideas? more

Resolved Question: Does this constitute shoplifting under Scot's Law?

Does this constitute shoplifting under Scot's Law? Ok, I've been an idiot and I know that so please no lectures. A few weeks ago I was really drunk from a night out and went into the supermarket for food on the way home. I'd been having a discussion earlier in the night about whether or not the little security tags on DVD's set off an alarm if removed. For some reason I decided to test the theory and broke the tags off two cases. Being a reckless drunk I then thought I might as well stick a couple of these discs in my pocket. After walking around for a few minutes I came to my senses and put them back before going to the till, buying some food and leaving the store. I was in the process of considering whether to go to the cash machine and go back to pay for the cases I'd damaged although I'm not certain if i would have actually done so as I was bricking it anyway at this point. Now obviously I had been seen on CCTV and was aprehended by security whilst trying to leave. They demended that I follow them to a back room, to which I refused and asked them to discuss the problem at the door. At this point I was physically dragged off by eight security guards with my arms held behind my back, nearly breaking them in the process. The police were called and I was arrested for shoplifting, despite the fact that I hadn't actually made any attempt to leave the store with any goods that I hadn't paid for. Following a trip to the police station, I was bailed out and am due to appear in court on Friday. There was no interview taken at the station and I was not there for long enough to even see the duty solicitor. Now as I understand it under Scottish Law, I should only have been charged with shoplifting if actually trying to leave the store with goods. Otherwise the only offence I had committed was criminal damage of the dvd cases. I believe under English law, concealment of goods is enough so please only offer advice if you're familiar with Scot's Law. Where will I stand? No goods were found on me during the five or so police searches. Perhaps the CCTV never saw me put the discs back down again but either way there were no stolen goods on my person at the time of leaving the store. This will be my first offence. Wont be able to speak with the duty solicitor until the morning of my court appearance so any advice is appreciated.Just to confirm, when I broke the security tags off the cases, the cases themselves actually broke. It was then I decided to take two disc out and carry them in my pocket before realising I was being an idiot and putting the discs down on another shelf. more

Resolved Question: Algebra- probability questions.?

I take an online school for Algebra, and I took a test on Probability. But I only got one answer right. Can someone explain to me why I got the rest wrong, and perhaps tell me how to do it for the future? 1. How many ways can you roll a die and flip a coin and end up with heads and an odd number? 3 6 12 21 I guessed 6 and that was wrong. 2. What is the probability of rolling a die and flipping a coin and ending up with heads and an odd number? 1/2 1/3 1/4 3 I guessed 1/2, that was wrong... 3. Two cards are drawn at random with replacement from a deck of cards. What is the probability of drawing a queen and then drawing a king? 2/13 1/26 4/9 1/169 I guessed 2/13, wrong. 4. What is the probability of selecting a black marble and a yellow marble from the jar below with replacement? (there is 9 marbles: 2 black marbles, 2 yellow, 1 red, 2 green, 1 white, and 1 blue.) 1/18 2/9 1/3 4/81 I guessed 1/18. Wrong again. 5. What is the probability of selecting a black marble and a yellow marble from the jar below without replacement? (there is 9 marbles: 2 black marbles, 2 yellow, 1 red, 2 green, 1 white, and 1 blue.) 1/18 2/9 1/3 4/81 I guessed 2/9 which is wrong. Now what the heck is the probability that I get 5 out of 6 answers wrong?? ...Rhetorical question^^ Yah I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to math, and my teacher is a total jerk so I can't go ask her for help. Can someone explain to me a better way how to answer questions like this so I don't fail the next test?

Voting Question: how soon can i take a pregnancy test?!?

I really messed up on the pill at the beginning of the month. I totally forgot about it for like 3 days and then started doubling up on it.

I feel like an idiot and I just want to take a pregnancy test but I still have about a week before I'm supposed to get my period. When can I take a test!? Also, I had an extra pill lying around that I just took the day I had unprotected sex because I figured hey it couldn't hurt. Do you think that could have helped me? more

Resolved Question: Why did Obama pull the plug on NASA going back to the moon in 2020?

Alright then everyone who called me an idiot for being skeptical about the first moon landings. I was very excited when I heard that NASA was planning to return to the moon in 2020 and begin establishing bases.. and suddenly I read that they are no longer allowed to do so? What gives? From what I've read it sounds like Obama wants to skip the moon and direct all funding toward going straight to Mars which could take who knows how long. I just don't understand why they should skip on the moon. Shouldn't the art of establishing human colonies on a body other than Earth be at least tested in a place where supplies and help can arrive in relatively short time periods of days rather than months? Maybe it's just me but it seems like a moon base is a no brainer...The lack of a competitor and the risk of human loss doesn't explain why he would pull the plug on the moon and say "put all your money and effort into going to Mars now..." more

Voting Question: Do I need an upgrade?

About three years ago I built a gaming computer that was ran and continues to run very well with many games usually maxed out. Recently I have begun to notice my performance starting to taper off which is always inevitably in the computer gaming world. My current system can't take metro 2033 like I had hoped it would, I know most comps. chug with that game but mine can't quite muster it with all the bells and whistles on like I want. The recent mafia 2 demo which I am a huge fan of the series, tested my system. It may be to early to call it for mafia 2 considering most games gain performance after the release of a patch or driver or too. Anyways let me cut straight to it... I have the following Windows Vista 64bit home premium ASROCK X58 deluxe mobo Intel core i7 920 at 2.66 quad core SLI'd EVGA nvidia gtx 260's (216 superclocked model) OCZGXS 700 watt PSU 6gb of ram 10000 rpm raptor hdd Now my big question is, performance wise, what is my biggest bottleneck/weakest of the above components in terms of gaming performance? Is my PSU to underpowered for SLI'd 260s? Is my CPU to weak? Are my 260's getting too old? Now what I have in mind is a upgrade that will allow me to achieve the most increased performance than what I have now. Ihave had a few things in mind, 1.) would be to remove my SLI 260's and drop in a single highest end nvidia 480, (btw I am not an ATI fanboy) 2.) Would be to replace my PSU with a 1000 watt one which I think may be causing a bottleneck due to not enough voltage atm (probably wrong though) and 3.) change out my processor (which I don't think is easy, nor is changing out a PSU) for a beefier i7 or what ever else is on the market. I would prefer to keep my upgrade down to 1 component. How would the highest end nvidia 480 (single) compare to gtx 260's , specifically the ones I have (216 core)? Would this be the bump I am looking for? Anyways any opinions would be great. I know there are many reading this saying I am an idiot because I got more than enough comp. as it stands but I just want solid performance on some of the newest games I really love. Thanks more

Voting Question: Receptionist trainee job NOT going well!?

Background: I signed up for, and was accepted into (after jumping through many hoops), a program for people 55 and over (specifically) who are looking for work and not having any luck. The program offers PAID on-the-job training at an approved worksite. The so-called assessment tests one takes are to find out what one's strengths and weaknesses are, and what your interests and skills are. So, I kept getting nowhere/hearing nothing except "Are you sure you've never had any office experience?" (I HAVEN"T, and I am just plain NOT interested in that type of thing!) Well, I finally got a placement, and sure enough--it's as a RECEPTIONIST. I am so upset...they didn't even try to fit me to something I'm good at. I've been at this non-profit adult day service facility for two weeks now, and I hate it--I often go home crying because I am REALLY trying but I have bad memory problems, and a family history of Alzheimers (both parents). I told the program people about that issue a long time ago. I KEEP messing up! I can't even remember everyone's names--after two weeks!! I feel like such a loser!! People have been kind, but I know they must think I'm an idiot! It hurts so badly--I feel that you can't really truly be good at something if you can't stand it. I was GOOD at things with other jobs I've had...I can't just give it up because I desperately need the money. It's minimum wage. Any ideas, anyone? (I HAVE talked to the people who run the program, but they just don't care! Their job is to "place" as many as possible, so they consider their part done.) more

Resolved Question: Weird question about plab B and pregnancy?

So my best friend is not on any form of birth control. She had unprotected sex and the morning after I took her to planned parenthood to get the Plan B. She has taken it once before and everything seemed normal. It messes up yor cycles and your supposed to start your period not long after you take the pill. about 3 days after, she did it again (i know, shes an idiot but gotta love her) and she did not take another plan b--which might have been dangerous to take again anyway! Bottom line, she never got her period after the plan b like she was supposed to. and now she is starting to think she may be pregnant. Its really early to tell but she thinks its weird that her period is not coming and she is having really bad cramps and neasea. Is it possible she got pregnant the second time around or do you think her cycles are just messed up from the plan b? We went to wal mart and she took an at home test but the results were inconclusive because we think its too early. its only been about a week since she had the unprotected sex, but we were dying to know! anyone have any advice, opinions, ect on what may be going on?Correction-- she only took one plan b. and had unprotected sex after that. she did not take one the second incident.i have an iud and i keep telling her its great and she should get one but she dosnt have health insurance, cant tell her parents (shes 17) and dosnt have the money to pay for any form. thats why she USUALLY uses condoms.. trust me, im on her about this all the time. more

Resolved Question: plan b twice in a week...could i still be pregnant?

ok so heres the situation..my last normal period was around the end of june. so i took the first dose of plan b on july 6th, due to us being idiots. bled a little bit after that. then a week later the condom broke inside, so i took plan b again. light spotting occured. it's now august 6th and i still have no period. on the box it said that your period should come around the time it's supposed to. ive been having minor pain in my abdominal region, felt some kind of tightening or stretching right by my belly button yesterday, nothing today. some cramping, headaches, felt a little sick sometimes, and some pain when i sneezed in my abdominal area. took two tests last week and both were negative, took one this morning and it was negative too. i was supposed to start my period tuesday. and if i'm basing it off the plan b, i should start this tuesday. whats going on with me? am i pregnant? more

Resolved Question: What can I do to help my brother? (long read)?

Ok, my brother is 14, almost 15 years old. He is going to be a freshman in High School. He has ADHD, he cannot read or write. You would never know this by looking at him though, he functions perfectly normal in the means of walking, talking, thinking. My brother has gotten into some tobacco usage and things of that sort. My Dad and I have tried to help him by talking to him, but he just won't listen. He used to chew tobacco and he even stole alcohol a few times. As soon as my Dad found out he made sure it never happen again. We never punished my brother though, because we knew he would just rebel and do it again. We talked to him, but it didn't seem to help. (He does not do tobacco anymore because he has no place to get it) I'm afraid once we start school his friends might sell it to him again. One other thing, he always tells me i smoke marijuana. When he knows perfectly well that i never have nor will i ever smoke weed. Do you think maybe he is accusing me because he wants to? My brother has awful hygiene. He will go weeks without showering. My dad and I have to basically make him shower. He doesn't brush his teeth which results in my dad having to pay thousands recently for my brothers root canals and cavity fillings. I don't mean to sound stuck up, but we are a rather wealthy family so it's embarrassing to sometimes be in public with my brother, because he refuses to wash his hair, and/or take showers. My dad has thought about getting a psychiatrist, but I know my brother won't listen to anything they say, or answer any of their questions. As for his ADHD, he was on medicine for it, but he went to the doctors, and they made him take a urine test. The test came back saying he had none of the drug in his system. So, we don't know what he was doing with it (spitting it out? selling it at school?) but now he no longer takes medication because of that. I would think a boy who is almost 15 would be a little more mature than him. He does ANYTHING he can to annoy me. My dad works long days, sometimes 12 hours or more, and my mother doesn't live with us. Therefor, I am the one who does all the housework and laundry. So, during the day usually right after i get done doing the dishes, my brother will make a sandwich. He'll leave out the ham, cheese, mustard, pickles, and bread on the counter for me to take care of. I have tried to make him take care of it but he refuses, and I know i shouldn't break down and do it for him, but I can't leave that stuff out, for it will spoil. While i'm sweeping the floor, he'll say "Hey look, you missed a spot" repeatedly. He calls me his "maid" He tells me he hates me almost everyday. He says him and dad will be much happier when i move out. He calls me the following names on a regular basis: Retard, Idiot, moron, homo and so on... I used to think he was doing this stuff for attention, but the truth is he gets more attention than anyone i know. As soon as my dad gets home from work we all eat dinner together (he usually acts much better towards me when my dad is home) then him and my dad will go down in the garage, and work on his racing go-kart, or go hunting, or fishing depending on the season. I could go on and on forever but i think that is enough for now. Can anyone help me out, please? Thank you so much if you read all this, it really means a lot to me. more

Resolved Question: Lost in what to do about my son?

I am 22 and last year I had a baby who is now 10 months old. It's a long story but I will narrow it down as much as I can. I come from a very rundown, mentally unstable family who have done nothing but belittle me and abuse me. My Mother is an alcoholic with other Mental Health issues and my Father is just an idiot with a foul temper who does not care about me. When I was 8 I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of functional Autism. Last year I was reassed and told that I don't have AS. I lived with my parents up until I was 18. An organisation called Connexions who I was in touch with through school helped me to get into a residential college course for people with behavioural problems and special needs. Whilst I was there in the beginning I went a bit mad. I had always had a self injuring problem but it got worse and I got involved in a few volatile relationships. I had only ever had one boyfriend before I started the college and he was more of a friend then anything and turned out to be gay. I met a guy who I settled into a serious relationship with. We were having unprotected sex because we thought that certain health conditions he had made him infertile. Then he started this wheat and dairy free diet and all of a sudden I fell pregnant. I was asked to do a test by the college nurse as I was being sick when I came in in the mornings. It was a complete shock because I wasn't expecting it to happen at all. Nonetheless, I decided to keep the baby because I don't like abortions and I was rather happy in one way because I saw myself being a good enough Mother. The college took the liberty in phoning Social Services and told them everything. It was standard procedure. Social Services came over to the college and offered me support. When they said support I thought that they mean't dropping into my flat once maybe twice a week to check whether or not I was caring for the baby. Instead they took me through a gruelling procedure of telling me why I wasn't a good parent before I even had the baby, where the baby might go if I don't get to keep him and pestering me all the way through my pregnancy. They completely ruined it and made it one of the most stressful times in my life when it should have been one of the most magical. It didn't help that my then boyfriend suddenly started acting up. Constantly on his XBox and doing nothing else. His Mother also hated me, which she made quite clear. She was a funny woman that no one liked. When I went in to have the baby I was made to stay in Hospital for 3 weeks. Then I was sent miles away to some fostering place with the baby out in the middle of nowhere. My family were useless. They wouldn't be there to take on me and the baby together if I lost him and Social Services would never give the baby to them. Wheras they kept on mentioning my exes family, who said they wouldn't let me live with them as well, so I wouldn't have gotten to bring up my son if that were the case. My ex who was supposed to be a Father and a Husband (eventhough we were not legally married by 'Husband' I mean my serious partner who also has a child with me) ran off with some young girl behind my back and she kept on answering his phone and acting all suspicious. I had only given birth 4-5 weeks ago. My ex was even too busy with this girl to come to the contacts to see his son and myself. I became depressed and tearful all the time and stopped eating. Nonetheless the baby was being taken care of by me. He was clean, warm, safe and fed. Social Services were horrible. I had no emotional support from anyone but one friend. He turned round and said that there was no chance I would get the baby and I should just quit. That's what I did. I don't know what posessed me to do it looking back on it but I handed the baby to social services. At first I was emotionally numb and didn't realise what I did but over the months it has sunken in and it is breaking my heart. I was already been to one court hearing since and I was told to give up there and then. I don't know what to do. I am scared that if I try to get my son me and him will bond properly and he will get taken away, making it even worse. That was also one of my fears when I gave him up. He is now in Foster care. I get upset every time I see a small baby and can't look at it. It is taking over my whole life and I am obsessed. It is all I can think about. How can I move on from this? more

Resolved Question: 1986 Plymouth Conquest TSi Vin N?

I own an 86 Conquest that i got for a steal at $1900 and it's pretty minty fresh. It only has 103,000 miles on it and everything is all original. It has a few minor spots of rust but nothing at all for an 86, the frame and underbody is solid. But down to the point:) I was driving it home from buying it and the guy told me it had a rod knock and that i should sent the crank out soon to get machined and then fitted with oversized bearings. Well aboot a half hour or so of driving, a tiny knock turned into a huge conundrum riddled with plumetting oil pressure, severe turbo lag, and the most ungodly knock ever. I pulled over to check what the hell was up. It managed to overheat because of a loss in oil because a quart or more was gone. Well i decided to spend the $60 to rent a uhaul trailer the next day to stop from hurting her anymore. So after that me and my dad thought the oil pump went out. I took off the valve cover to notice some adjustment screws missing but learned that these were just for the jet valves. We tried adjusting them and noticed that the passenger side rockers and one drivers side rocker weren't spitting oil. We further took the rockers off to find that the valve adjustment plugs (i like to call them spring loaded jelly beans) were solid and just knocking on the valve springs, this was the knock. So i bought 8 new ones for $20 a piece, thinking i had the problems all solved. They came the next day and i put them in. I put it all back together and noticed that it would knock, then stop, then knock again and so on. So dad takes the oil cap off to feel the pressure and it's like a damn exhaust pipe on the top end of my motor. There is a pretty plentiful vent of air pushing out of the valve cover. So, we boiled it down to either valves, valve seats, piston rings, or the pcv valve. I took the plugs out and they are all fouled black as hell from burning oil, but it isn't enough for the exhaust to blow smoke, but it does burn oil and it either leaks in through the valves or past the rings. I tested the compression on the rear piston but it was 75 the first time and then 100 the second time. I know that can't be right at all. I figure it's supposed to be around 200 but i'm not sure. Does anyone know how many foot pound of compression i should have per cylinder? I'd like input on this because I can't find any help online and i can't find a repair guide even though that wouldn't help much. Someone told me it could also be some worn seals in my turbo, causing air to run through the oil lines and come out in the valve cover, but i think my compression test shows it's a ring or valve problem. Also, what's the difference between the Vin H model and the Vin N? I feel like and idiot for asking but is there a difference besides a letter? Thank you for any help:) I just really need to know the numbers for my compression in each cylinder. I'm checking all 4 cylinders tonight. Thanksi am definately not selling it and i know where to look for parts. I can get them all but i just need to know the compression so i can pinpoint the problem. Mine just sat. And there is no reason to sell it because i recently bought it and it's worht over $4000 in its condition and i've always wanted one. I have no problem getting parts. I go to rock auto or advanced and even on forums and i could pretty much build a new one with parts lolz there's no way i'm getting rid of it it's too nice and rare that's why i want it to show everyone what's up and not to be every ricer kid out there with a civ, 240, or dsmExcuse me? SMD!!! I know exactly what i'm talking aboot and i want to see you find one of these in fair condition for under 3 grand!!! and it valves or rings, we have it all apart and they are both bad from sitting and then overheating. i bet you i could tear down my entire before you can change the oil. Why don't you learn how to speak to people instead of being an old wrench turning highschool dropout!! eat a dick more

Resolved Question: ♱ Mars♂ in Capricorn♑ people: Have you been in your share of fist fights?

Many mars in Capricorn people I know have been in their share of fist fights. Many of them also were 100% willing and up for the challenge as well. Many mars in Capricorn people I know have this "bring it on" type of personality with everything they do. If you have mars in Capricorn, have you been in a few especially scraps in you're life and more importantly, did you enjoy it and where there times you even issued the fight just for the hell of battle and to prove test dominance? [This is a repost btw. It's directed most towards the men because I know most women are simply going to say they hate violence and end it there. But if you are a women with mars in Capricorn feel free to answer...I remove my last post because if got infected with a disease. Infected with a dirty stupid pushy illiterate idiot who decided to make assumptions and get personal. Driving me into a primitive rant so I'm sure i would have gotten deleted sooner or later. But here's the repost now that the infection was taken care. Unless the infection wants to make another accont and jump on my question again because they're sour about the email they got from me. heh ;] ).Sparrowbird don't worry. I saw your last answer on the original post and it was great. more

Resolved Question: Pregnancy with an IUD, or not?

I had my IUD place in October 2008, shortly after my second child was born. November 2008 (going on 2 years!) is the last time I had ANY speck of spotting or bleeding. I take pregnancy tests occasionally to rule it out. Last weekend I had some really really light brown spotting, and a little bit of pink spotting. Didn't even really need a panty liner for it. I got all excited and thought that I was having implantation bleeding. Then, on Tuesday, (2 days later) I had bright red blood come out onto my underwear, maybe 1/2 teaspoon. I put in a tampon just in case. I had just another 1/2 teaspoon of brown blood and then it stopped. (It lasted maybe 20 minutes). My fear was that it was too much to be implantation bleeding and that I miscarried. But I checked all the blood and there were absolutely NO clots. Normally I would write all that off as a strange period--but I have had absolutely no bleeding for like 2 years! On wednesday morning I woke up with a bad headache and nausea. I threw up once, and my nausea slowly began to subside throughout the day. I have been queasy off and on for the past few days, mostly in the mornings and late evening/nights. I thought I was pregnant, until Tuesday. Since then I haven't "had a feeling" that I'm pregnant anymore.:( So here are my questions: Are the symptoms of pregnancy the same with an IUD? Has anyone had NO PERIODS OR SPOTTING with and IUD for a long period of time and then all of the sudden HAD PERIODS OR SPOTTING and why was that? Could that blood on Tuesday still have been implantation bleeding? Even though I no longer "have a feeling" I am pregnant, could I still be? Basically, have you ever had a feeling you weren't when you were? I'm not an idiot by the way. I am taking a prenancy test in the morning so no "take a pregnancy test" nonsense. I have 2 kids, I know how this works. I know that's the way to find out. I also have doctor's appointment for a week from today to have my IUD checked out. I just want to know your personal experience/opinions any way. Thanks in advance!:) more

Voting Question: Am I screwed hard...?

I really did it. I screwed up pretty bad. Freshman year was horribly bad. D's and F's. Hardly an A on the report card. Sophomore year hardly differed. True, I did have a death in the family both of those years in high school, but that doesn't make up for the terrible grades. What can I say? I was a slacker. I learned this the hard way, and now have to make up for it. Junior year was actually very good. No more D's and F's. This time the lowest I had all year was a high C. But mostly A's and B's. Senior year was about the same, good grades, just slightly lower (mostly B's and more C's this time. One or two A's the entire year. My GPA is embarrassingly low at 2.58. And that's cumulative. I feel completely screwed. I took the ACT (my high school didn't require the SAT, so I didn't take that). My score was a 26, first time. Not too shabby, could be better though. But I thought it sufficed, so I said screw it, and never took it again. I'm not an idiot, not by any means. I'm actually quite intelligent, and was tested for a gifted class, which I eventually got into very easily, but quit the minute it got boring. Stupid mistakes, not stupid person. So here's my question. How the hell am I supposed to make up for this? I mean seriously? I'm moving to Boulder, CO. next year with my best friend, and he's attending the University of Colorado, a hard school to get into if you did exactly what I did. I don't even meet half of the requirements for admission. Not to mention you need 4 credits of English, 4 of Math, 3 of a foreign language, and I only managed to get the bare necessities to graduate, which was 3 of English, 3 of Math, and 2 of German. So right there, I'm already screwed, never mind my grades. I'm thinking of getting those classes taken care of at a local community college this year before my friend graduates in May, so that we may apply at the same time (and don't tell me that I shouldn't choose my school based on him, I know I shouldn't, but I am anyway. Plus, it's a good school. So there :P ). But my question is, even then, is it worth it? Do I even stand a chance? I'm feeling pretty darn bad about this whole thing, and I've disappointed myself completely.There is another college in the area that I'm really interested, actually about 4 minutes away from the University of Colorado. From what I've read, it looks like a good fit for me, and if I can get in there, I wouldn't mind having to bike my way to my friends dorm. Probably a 10-15 minute ride anyway, good for cardio! more
