    In early 2007 I was walking through a park and someone punched me in the head. I was unconscious for Im guessing about twenty minutes.
    I have no idea why or who just a nightmare of brain problems. Fatigue, balance, headaches, inability to travel in a car far and the list goes on and on. Little things like not being able to write poetry, financial worries, and having to let go the person Ifelt the most for all add to the pressure.

    I'll get to the point. Im not a violent person not even a real temper yet I keep having these thoughts of hurting and torturing and even ending the life of the person who did this to me. This won't happen as I have no idea who.Im just caught up in this need to let the person know what they have done and to know what it feels like.

    Your probably say let this go but I find the fact hes out there somewhere being violent to others just so frustrating.

    A close male family member recently died who has been molestering quite a few preteen girl relatives. And although he never had to face his victims at least hes dead and that has some satisfaction.

    Sorry Im just getting tensed up by both these situations.

    Tia xOxO i get up on my own: Guys who only want one thing (sex) and/or drugs. Don't get caught up in what others are doing, just because a majority does something doesn't mean that is cool, just remember to stay yourself and you'll be just fine.

    Austin: As I like to say, "Never under estimate the impossible."

    Who is to say it is an unstoppable force? Who is to say it is immovable? The titanic was supposed to be unbreakable...was it? No.

    SweeT pOisOn: Three simple words, follow your heart. However, I must say you are still very young and still have many oportunities not just in your love life, but in your career as well. The choice is yours, not others.

    Never let others tell you what to do. Don't be a follower, be a leader.

  • Italian Stallion

    Carrotgirl: You say you can't write poetry, well why don't you take these thoughts and turn it into poetry and let that "person" know what it was like and or did to you? Or even just get your feelings out, on paper or the computer screen.

    This is what I propose you to do, on the computer or paper I want you to just write and write as much as you can for 5 minutes, don't think about what you are writting or how to word it, just keep writting untill the 5 minutes are up. Then I want you to look at it and read what you wrote, you will be releaved and feel much better after you do this little task.

    P.S. Let me know if that helps. If it doesn't I have other solutions, but that was my first one.

    Joe, riddle me this:

    I have two coins that add up to 30 cents when put together. One of them is NOT a nickel. What are the two coins?

    No googling the answer.

  • Italian Stallion

    RickyH: That is not for me to determine, that is up to you and her to figure out together.

  • Italian Stallion

    Austin: I've heard this before Austin, one coin is a quarter and one is a nickel, you said one of them is not a nickel, but you never said the other one couldn't be a nickel.

  • Austin

    Damn. Well then Joe.

    Will the Earth end on December 21st, 2012?

  • Italian Stallion

    Austin: That is what the Mian people believe, however; I doubt it will end on that day.

    Joe has there even been a German Comedian

    And

    Did you think the ending to the Sopranos was weak

    And

    Why do male seahorses give birth

    And .........................

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

    Soso: There comes a time in everyones life where they come across a bitter relationship that they regret, however; take all those feelings that have gathered up and use them as inspiration as to what you want in a relationship. As I always say, "Everything happens for a reason." This is basically the same thing the Jewish people said during the Holocaust, "Never again" They told themselves it would never happen again and they fought towards that goal and achived it.

    I'll finish with a quote from Dr. Napoleon Hill - "Whatever the mind can concive and believe the mind can achive."

    Arisen Insurrection: Humans are imperfect, with imperfect minds, therefore we do not understand all levels of the true complexity of pure mathmatics, therefore the lazy mathmaticians who are dealing with these equations, unable to grasp infinity declare it "off limits" .

    In all seriousness though, I have no idea to be honest.

    Carrotgirl: There are plenty of German Comedians, here is a list of a few:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_language_comedians

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I never watched the Sopranos so my thoughts on that wouldn't be the best.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The male seahorse has a pouch on its stomach in which to carry babies as many as 2,000 at a time. A pregnancy lasts from 10 to 25 days, depending on the species.

    The reproductive process begins when a male and a female seahorse do daily pre-dawn dances, intertwining their tails and swimming together. Eventually they engage in a true courtship dance, which can last as long as eight hours. It ends with the female depositing her eggs in the male's pouch.

    Fewer than five infant seahorses in every 1,000 survive to adulthood, which helps explain why the litters are so large.

    Scientists are not sure what evolutionary advantage male pregnancy gives seahorses. One theory is that it enables a shorter cycle of reproduction by distributing the costs of the process between the two partners.

    While the male is bearing the young, the female can prepare more eggs to implant soon after the male has given birth to the last litter.

    I am taking a psycology class and i dont feel comfortible in it.

    why do you think that is?

    i get all the work done.
    i am getting good grades.
    i follow the information.

    is it because the teacher is tech. a psycologist?
    is it cuz i know i have lots of issues and dont want him to figure them out?

    *sigh*

    im not sure.

    i just feel like i am constantly being judged in there.....and i get peranoid (sp).

    what can i do to stop that feeling?

    please help!

    Joe: Can you give me three integers that, are consecutive in an arithmetic progression, and their product is that of a prime number?

    (And yes, it can be done. Do you know what three numbers they are?)

  • Italian Stallion
    16 years ago

    Sweet escape - I can almost asure you everyone has issues in their lives, weather it be family, relationship, school related, etc. Therefore; your proffesor technically doesn't have the time to evaluate each given person. Instead he/she gives her utmost attention to teaching the class effectively as a whole.

    William The Last Foolish Child T - To answer your Question read this other thread that I created a long time ago...

    Arisen: I think it is 3,5,7.

    But I could be wrong seeing as I have not been in a math class in a long time...

  • Austin

    Joe, how did the dinosaurs become extinct? And why were there so many UFO 911 calls in the mid 1950s??

  • adriaan
    16 years ago

    Joe: Nope. 3 times 5 does not make 7, alas...it is -3, 1 and 3.
    -3 times 1 equals 3, which is a prime number. Just wondered if anyone else could get it, cos it confused me just as much when I read about it.

    When did electricity first come into use?

  • january friend
    16 years ago

    Can you prove that (.999999999=1) ?

    Or maybe Arisen could answer this, seeing that he is so good at math...

  • sweet escape
    16 years ago

    He is actually wrong.

    -3 times 1 does not equil 3, it is -3, the one would have to be negative also.
    and he didnt say it....so he is wrong.
    also the #s tho in order are not exactly consecutive. cuz you skiped 1 or in his answer's case -1 was skiped....and thus they are no longer consecutive.

    =P

    hehehehehehehehe

    and BTW:

    you can NEVER prove that .999999999=1 because it doesn't equil 1 it is exactly .000000001 away from being 1.

    =)

  • adriaan
    16 years ago

    Actually I didn't say the numbers had to be consecutive, I said they simply had to be in an arithmetical progression.

    -3, -1, 3 ...and my misprint, i meant to say -3 times -1 is 3, which is prime.

    Also 0.9999999999 can theoretically converge to 1 if it is an estimate of a sequence or function in terms of one or more variables. Theoretically. But true, it isn't 1. :)
    Same reason why 0.66 is not two thirds. It's sixty six hundredths.

  • january friend
    16 years ago

    ^^ yes it is and i'll prove it to you with a simple proof

    x=.9999
    10x=9.9999 multiply both sides by 10
    10x-x=.9999 -.9999 we've said that x=.9999 so
    subtract .9999 from each side
    9x=9
    x=1 divide both sides by 9

    and there you have it .9999999=1

  • january friend
    16 years ago

    Want another one??

    we'll use .333 or 1/3 first to simplify things a bit

    .3333 = 1/3
    3 x .3333 = 3 x (1/3) = [(3 x1) / 3]
    ^ simplifys to (3/3) or 1

    you can do the same thing with .9999 afterall it's just a fraction. yes i'm a math nerd

  • january friend
    16 years ago

    Okay i have one more one then i'll quit. this one is the most simple of them all:
    punch .99999 into an advanced enough caculator and you will get 1

    ...i think i've made my point...

  • sweet escape
    16 years ago

    Your guys are really big math nerds.... just so you know.....but i'm glad someone cares about it...cuz i dont.

    have fun with your numbers.

    Austin: There are many theories as to how the dinosaurs became extinct. No one knows for certain exactly why and how the dinosaurs became extinct, since there is no proven theroy.

    There are many theories about UFO's and why there where so many calls during the 1950's. However in many documents and Top Secret documents, it states that UFO's are nearly a natural phenomena and that it wasn't US or Soviet made.
