Ask a question, maybe you'll get an answer. It could be anything like, "How do you cook a turkey?" or "What's the best way to keep my lawn looking green?" We have a diverse group of people here and everyone seems to have an opinion on something so ask away.


I'll start.

Why do women ask men a question they already know the answer to?

Because they want us to feel like , we came up with the idea to solve the problem (question ):laugh:

Great investigative technique. It allows them to ask an intelligent question and feel accomplished when they get ANY answer. A correct answer will allow them to feel good they know the truth....... a wrong answer will allow them to call you a liar.

question (s)........

Why do people get upset when they get an answer to a question they do not want to hear? Why do they ask in the first place? To confirm fear?

[KCALB SIRAY]

I think they ask to see if you have the same question, hoping that you say "Me too".

You realize if you aren't getting any then neither is she. What sence does that make ?

They are asking to see HOW you answer. It really isn't that hard to figure out.
Take your time, it isn't a race. Make them wait, create tension and then release it. And remember, when asked a question, pretend youre a politician and NEVER answer directly.

[Bob_VT]

The other alternative is the way of the Jewish business man .........

Always answer a question with a question without giving an answer!

thanks guys for the great answers. anyone have a question

Why are we here?

[SIPNGAS]

ooooo

You guys...I dunno...all asking for trouble with the answering a question with a question and acting like a politician never directly answering a question...sheesh...

time for a women to speak up...

I take it the question was about a touchy subject...maybe something she suspected...maybe she thought she knew the answer but just had to hear it from you. We don't want to go around ASSUMING things...maybe we just want to HEAR it from you......guys don't like to talk about things, women MUST...even if it's something we don't want to know or hear...we still have to know. It's a difference between men and women...guys don't care..but sometimes a woman has to hear it to be able to process it and get over it.

Ahhh but that leads to the worlds worst sin...... recrimination. You are trying to corner a guy and his only defense will be to re-criminate you or a friend.

Have you been drinking? Well yes but, (now the recrimination :wink:) everyone was drinking and we ALL had a few. :biggrin:

[SIPNGAS]

But not always...we're not ALWAYS looking for long-winded explainations. Sometimes a straight answer works with us....

at least it's all I wanted.

[nemelek]

They really don't care what you think. They asked to bring up the subject so they can tell you what they think.

My wife always has the last word in all our arguments anything I say after that is the start of a new argument.

Anyone know how to get rid of moles? (the ones that destroy the yard)

[eTiMaGo]

pour liquid explosives into their holes, they are all interconnected then let it blow up. no more moles and instant landscaping ;o)

you watch too many cartoons :laugh:

[jclo3313]

Most common rodent poisons will work. You may also want to look into eliminating the food source.(I.E. Mole crickets, grubs ect.)

LOL, my husband actually did consider doing that, but he likes blowing stuff up anyway, fortunately I talked him out of it.

What's the meaning of life?

I think this question differs from person to person. I've learned the hard way on some issues but this question relates to my son. Making sure he is safe and has every opportunity in the world to advance in life and it's challenges. Searching for the meaning of life will not get you far. One day it will find you. In my case, it came in the form of a beautiful baby boy.

[KCALB SIRAY]

Yep, food source is the key to getting rid of them...or just buy a Beagle and let him do his thing, that's what mine does :biggrin:

[nemelek]

but what is the meaning of life?

I am trying to figure out if I am a human being having a spiritual experience or a spiritual being having a human experience.

[KCALB SIRAY]

^that's a bit deep for me. Do you have a real question lol

[jclo3313]

At the end of the 19th century, why was the last decade called the the "Gay 90's"?

[KCALB SIRAY]

At the end of the 19th century, why was the last decade called the the "Gay 90's"?

From what I read, it had to dpo with the fashion.

"In this period the fashionable man was called a "dude" and he was a dandy that would never let hair mess up the square modeling of his jaw. He wore super-exquisite clothes, felt undressed without his cane and if he had courage sported a monocle. The ordinary man dressed much like he had in the eighties except he felt fine wearing informal sack suits and soft hats for every occasion. The manly silhouette of the nighties man was rather square-shouldered, and straight-waisted. Men wore their hair parted down the middle or on the side just a little left of center and it was a little longer than modern hair."

even shows up in songs

"Christmas carols ("Don we now our gay apparel")"

My best guess at that one

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

I find happiness in pleasing others. That is my meaning of life.

[TheRealEnth]

I find happiness in pleasing others. That is my meaning of life.

Amazing

[TLyttle]

Careful, tehXfallen, or Gene will seek you out and destroy you. Personally, I find the same happiness, and come to the same conclusion: what is wrong with just helping and pleasing others? And that is what I have done for most of my adult life...

[blktiger60]

I am trying to figure out if I am a human being having a spiritual experience or a spiritual being having a human experience.

You are the later. Here's a quote for you.

"Let me remind you who you really are: You are one of the chosen ones. You're a luminous being. A primordial miracle. A resplendent avatar. You are a deity in disguise--not a Buddha or a Christ, but of the same lineage and made from the same mojo."

There is no meaning to life, only goals. My life goal is happiness and understanding.

I think you can just let it be. Unless you actually had piles of it. Just put the sprinkler on that area overnight. It might take untill next summer but the grass should grow back w/o reseeding, unless like I said you had litteral piles of it. Then you'll need to remove as much as possible and throughly water where the piles were.

Thanks, it's what I get for not use the fertilizer wheel. I just used a bowl and scatter method cause I was lazy and wanted to get it down before it rained the next day. No big piles though. I'll try it out.

I was joking.

Opinion answers should be honest and diplomatic - IE: Q - "Does my butt look fat in these pants" A - "No. But I like your 501's better."
Alternately, you can joke with her about it. Alternate answer to above question. "How about you take them off and let me spank you with something other than my hand, . . "

Non-opinion answer should be direct and honest, answering w/o fear of what others think. If your answers always have a tinge of worry about what others think of you then you'll appear, . . less manly.

[KCALB SIRAY]

why doesn't more people use baby wipes instead of toilet paper?

We use to have a thread on that at one point...ahhh the joys of having a baby, lol. I use them to clean my engine bay. As to your answers, I remember the poll showing it was 2nd highest on the list just after the traditional butt tape (toilet paper). I'm pretty sure most people are affraid it is not flushable, but in small quantities they are ok to pass through the toilet system.

Why is the sky blue?

[KCALB SIRAY]

Why is that whenever your in a rush, no matter what time of day it is, there is always traffic? Never fails:mad:

That falls under Murphy's Law, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

[KCALB SIRAY]

Why is the sky blue?

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.



The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colors of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colors of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths, giving us our color vision.

I'll start.

Why do women ask men a question they already know the answer to?

They want to know if you're paying them attention. If you tease them a little bit (Ie, Yes, those jeans do accentuate your butt, let me smack it once) it can lead to some fun.

Gene

[GeneW]

Why is that whenever your in a rush, no matter what time of day it is, there is always traffic? Never fails:mad:

Selective abstraction. You don't notice the traffic when you're not in a hurry, make no note of it and hence do not recall the times it was there when you were in a hurry. So it seems like the Universe is out to get you when in reality you just were not paying attention when you were cool with things.

In truth I cribbed this question from Trevanian's "The Main", where an old time French Canadian cop is teamed up with a kid who just graduated college.

One of the Cop's partners asks the kid the question just as I posed it.

What's the meaning of life?

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the class if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor picked up a box filled with pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly, and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full, and they agreed that it was.

The professor then took a bag of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students replied with an unanimous "yes". The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured them into the jar, effectively filling the spaces between the grains of sand. The students laughed.

"Now", said the professor, as the laughter died down, "I want you to recognize that the jar represents your life. The golf balls represent things that are most important to you- your health, your family, your children, your friends, your favorite passions- like your Yaris. Things that if everything else was lost, and only they remained, your life would be considered full."

"The pebbles are things that matter- like your house, your job, your other non-Yaris car. The sand is everything else- the small stuff."

"If you put the sand in the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. the same goes for life. If you spend all of your time and energy worrying about the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Mod your Yaris. Play with your kids. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter, Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple of beers."

Well, I've been to most every country in South America, and Central America so my top picks would have to be Puerto Vallarta for the food, Cancun and Cozumel for the clear water, and Cabo San Lucas for relaxing.

South America picks would be Tayrona beach, Columbia for beautiful beaches, and Tortuga Bay, Ecuador (freakin awesome beaches with sea turtles all around)

It will be slippery and not always resistant to the chemicals dropped on it. Even though it is rough, you'll need to clean it and prep it with a concrete cleaner, just like laying tile. Use a granulated product for garage floors only as it will outlast any other form of household paints

[yaris-me]

House paint will not stay on. Concrete breaths and moisture will lift off the paint. You need to clean the surface with muriatic acid, then use a flooring finish designed for concrete.:thumbsup:
