Open Question: impending apocalypse?
i’m sure everyone has heard the idea of 2012 being mankind’s last yr. i for one though skeptical would not be thoroughly opposed to it. i love my life but i know i’m not going to live to be old. i dont want that. i’m sure something will knock me off before im 50.
anways, even if that isnt the end i feel like something has to happen. the world was running like clockwork before humans came along. the world has changed alot since man stood upright. but, the world has changed so much in the past 100 years. we’ve messed up so many things, changed the weather etc. With the way we have advanced our technologies and the extent the world is deteriorating, i dont think the earth can handle having humans for another century. In my opinion something has got to give. does anyone else feel this way?
also i feel like the makings are right for 2012 to end it all. the economic meltdown of the world’s economy, nuclear testing by NK, global warming: i feel like the timetable could be lining up for us.

Open Question: Side effects of testosterone?
Basically me and my friend are having an argument. I take testosterone tablets at the gym. Normally when you take testosterone you get harsh side effects such as spots, acne, hair loss etc. I take very expensive tablets (£50 for 30 days instead of £10 for a month of the cheep stuff) which boast they have no side effects and still increases your testosterone naturally.
This is because it’s a herbal remedy, the product I use it the 3rd best seller in gym supplements in the world.
Now…Taking testosterone changes your personality etc, all are reasons you take it, you get a higher sex drive a higher drive to get big meaning you will do a better work out and it makes you feel more pumped after the gym. These are all reasons for taking it. He’s trying to say although it doesn’t give you spots, acne, hair loss etc it still has side effects. He says the side effects are the changes to your personality.
I say no, that’s an effect of taking the tablets seeing as that’s what I take them for (that’s the primary effect). It has no side effect (secondary effect).
His argument was that because increased testosterone can regulate the flight or flight response that makes it a side effect (he just chose a random effect from wikipedia).
I say no, that’s a primary effect of taking it, it’s all a change to my personality which is the reason I take it. (changing your fight or flight isn’t even a bad thing)
Thanks is you answer this btw.

Open Question: Is this site an official meeting place for weird outcasts?
Average people in real life act more civilized than the ones that say a lot of weird things here.
Some of the things-
EVERYBODY should embrace homosexuality. (the fascist mentality)
A 50 year old man can look at a young girl. It’s normal after all. (Pedophilia)
Animals have shown to have gay acts so humans could. (they also eat their own dung, drink own urine, etc.)
It’s racist if you date your own race and only “traditional” people do that. Hello, it’s the 21st century. (inferior complex)Just wondering. Is this site must be crazy????

Open Question: What kind of dog do you think I have? ***PICTURES*** 5 stars for the best answer!!!?
C:\Users\Jessie\Pictures\New Folder\100_0026.JPG
C:\Users\Jessie\Pictures\New Folder\100_0239.JPG
C:\Users\Jessie\Pictures\New Folder\100_0037.JPGType these into the internet bar thing and then press enter, and then a little box should apear, then press Ok. And then, just wait and the pictures should apear. But if the pictures are lite in blue, just click them. I don’t know how it will work.
I can’t figure out what dog she is. If the pictures didn’t work, shes also my profile picture. I know its small. But I know she has Lab and Spitz in her, but her dad was a stray. He was big, scruffy, and he almost looked like a wolf\dog- Spots first owner said. But I see none of that in her. Do you? What kind of dog do you think she is? Please help. Shes– Lab\Spitz\?\?\? I will give five stars to the best answer. Oh and her first owner said- “Her father was very sweet but skiddish. He was always wondering around at night and sometimes he would just… stare at the sky…” If that helps at all. And he was big, like 80 pounds and Spot is 30. Her mother was around 40 or 50. That just confused me even more. How they weighed so much and she weights about half. ??????? Spot is very fast, LOVES to run and play. Very loyal, scared of thunder storms. LOVES the snow. Not very good with other dogs. It kinda seems like they pick on her, they like nip at her, and growl. Shes kinda like an outcast. But she has a few friend dogs. Like her buddy- Molly, and Katey, and Buzz. And kinda a pooch named Tony. And our other dog Pikachu.
Please help. -

Open Question: first draft of the beginning of my novel (not even the whole first chapter though). Opinions?
I know Jocie seems like a bitch here, but as the sotry progresses, she gets better.
Opinions? What should I change?
The first time I stepped through those French doors of The Mauve Spot, on the starting day of my new career as a waitress, I was proud. Everything around me smelled, tasted, and felt like a fresh new start on life. After that first week, it became a regular thing. I no longer used my senses to describe a “fresh, new start”, but used them to describe “same old, same old”. I miss those days.
It’s not that I hate my job or that I am bad at it, it’s mainly because there are so many other places I’d rather be. I actually love serving those kind people that come by every so often—you know, the ones that tip a little extra and don’t complain. It’s the unsatisfied, rude costumers that I loathe, who fight with you when you are just doing your job. I couldn’t count the amount of times I’ve had trouble with one of those costumers. I can’t stand them. Ever since those first, obligatory jackasses I ever dealt with, they have become my biggest pet peeve. Sometimes I just snap at them because I’m so irritated. I’m the worst if I’m already having a bad day. I know this is a problem, and the manager has had to consult me about it a few times, but I say: If someone deserves it, it should be given to them.
“Did you enjoy your meal, sir?” I asked the man whom I was serving.
He raised his eyebrows and replied, “Meh. It was fine.” He looked disappointed, which was strange because he had scarfed it all down and he had ordered two of the same thing.
He had placed his money down. It was a messy pile of bills. The guy sighed a deeply annoyed sigh when I began to count aloud. The total only came up to twenty-five dollars and fifty cents. He was missing two dollars.
I smiled my sweet, waitressy smile. “This is only $25.50.” He groaned exaggeratingly and slammed down two more bills. I faked a smile again and put them into my hands. The man had just began to get up when I realized he had forgotten to give me a tip.
“Excuse me, you forgot to tip me,” I informed him of his mistake. He groaned again. What was with him.
“You aren’t getting one, pretty girl. Now can I go?” he puffed. This man suddenly reminded me of gluttonous, brute pig.
“OK, I’m sorry, are you kidding?” I was starting to use my pissed-off voice. He just rolled his eyes at me. “Or do I have to stick my foot up your ass?” I continued, not regretting what I had just said at all. “You-you have to tip.”
He scowled at me. “What did you just say?” he growled.
“I think you heard what I said.” I breathed in, attempting to cool myself down. “Just give me the tip and you can leave without a problem.”
I haven’t even read it over yet. :O i like doing that after i get some feedback.I know I didn’t put a ? after “What was with him” accident.
i’m fixing the beginning. kinda messed up .:O
Jocie has been my biggest problem. I have story perfectly planned out, but she comes off as a jerk. I’m going to have this kind of scene in some other situation with when she yells at someone, but someone who really, REALLY deserves it. I was gonna write two versions of the beginning. One where she fights with a customer and the other where she hates “slow days” at her work. She leads an elderly couple to their seats. When she gets back to the greeting table, her friend comes through the door who’s been on vacation… That would make her seem like a better person, not like someone who get pissed off easily. i even hate people like that. :p
I felt like it was alright to post it. I read it over, thought it was fine, and posted it. I just didn’t really d o my usual editing process : read it over twice, use a thesaurus on weak words, and change what ever I felt needed to be.I just wanted to see what people thought about it, and what they thought i needed to change.
