Open Question: Does he like me?????? Long!!! EASY 10 POINTS!!!!!!!?

this is my nieghbor/friends brother and we have known eachother most of our lifes.And this summer my appearance has changed.....ok we went bike riding again then he is making up every these jokes then he comes down the road with his shirt over his head being weird.He starts teasing me to. Then there was this hot kid coming down the road and when he left I was like he's hot and he asked do you like him? Then i was going to go find the kid but he's like im going to go Then we were in the pool and he was joking and telling me every these silly stories he would look me deeply in my eye when he talked to me to. Then every time I looked over at him he was looking at me and we would keep eye contact for about I don't know 2 or 3 seconds. Today him his sister and his pal were outside, and then he goes Jane we did this really awesome thing... then he told me. Then we go over my home and we are just sitting there and he looked at me almost every time he said something and we'd hold eye contact (btw his pal was gone) Then in church his pal kept looking at me and when we went to the alter he looked at me really weirdly? but yet he never texts me why doesn't he text me? What does he mean by doing this, I am also terrified to text him just because of rejection and it be awkward because his sister is sorta really close to me plus i have no idea what to say. Im pretty sure he hasn't acted like this last summer he is two years older than me to. oh yeah we were in the pool once and they were going to take a trip to receive frozen yogurt him and his pal and probably his sis and hes like do you want to arrive?? but it wasn't like right then and now they were planning it for a day to arrive if that makes sense? Me and his sister were on their trampoline and i was talking about these really hot guys and i look up and look him looking down at us not even saying a word just staring. Then we were on creeping on our neighbors hot friends he was just looking at me and idk the way he looked at me and it made me actually unhappy. Then I text him glad birthday and no answer....? but his sister mentions him alot more plus my friends that know about him think he like me but idk And I have like this kid for idk how long its been a long time and he always acted a little odd but this summer its really noticeable. Also it seems like one day I look him its soo obvious that he might like me. But on others its like im just a a person who knows him. Also this is weird but we were playing mash on my ipod and his name comes up randomly for the guy and I show his sister and she starts freaking out like OMG ITS A SIGN YOU GUYS WILL receive MARRIED!!!! but I never told her I liked him?? this stood out because if she didn't know something wouldn't she be just like omg thats silly!!!!! and btw My other pal is gonna make me text him soon so i don't want to feel like a fool if he doesn't like me? then i text him FINALLY got the nerves to with my pal this is the convo Me: Hey Him:Who is this? (my pal texts him for me0: Hey its jane im over my friends home and i just wanted to say sup hommie? Lol (but i didn't want her to say that to him)Me; Oh my Im sorry that was my pal no answer from him So we were in the pool with his sister me him and his pal well his sister is like me and Jane were playing this game in the pool today. And then hes like me and Jane last night hooked up....? Then we were going to the pool and hes like Jane don't look I'm naked.... he seemed to have looked at me some what and was sorta squirting me with a squirt gun

Open Question: LOOKING FOR BMX SPONSOR?

I am 17 I've been riding for a year and a half and I'm really good, i can 360 flat, do bar spins, i can almost do tail whips, i can 360 off pretty much anything in road, i go quick and really high, can do foot jams and foot jam whips, i have a lot of tricks. I'm looking for a company to sponsor me and give discounts on parts. i really need this, this is my dream to ride bmx, but my parents don't support it at every so if i need something for my bike or if something breaks they wont buy me parts, so i have to work really difficult just to ride, and sometimes i cant ride for weeks because something is broken, i ride every day everyday and i really need this :(

Open Question: What can I do with a broken Ipod Touch?

About a year ago I found an Ipod Touch in the road while biking. The glass over the screen was cracked in hundreds of pieces yet still intact. There were few dead pixels. I used it up to a month ago where the headphone jack quit working. (which defeats the point of an ipod) so I opened it up to try to look if I can fix it but broke the electronics in the glass which made it unresponsive. So basically I have useless piece of metal and glass. What can I do with it? Can I sell it or recycle it in a way to receive money?

Open Question: I started to write a book.. Is my writing any good? Should I continue?

Hi so I started to write a book. I know along the lines of where I want it to go, but I'm only a couple chapters in. I wanted to know from a readers point of view if it is any good so far and what I should change or add to make it flow. It is the first thing I have attempted at writing so any feedback would be awesome :) I don't know if I'm good at writing.. but I thought because I adore to read I should try. so my main question is, should I continue with the story, or stick to reading? Thankx for reading here it the first couple of chapters.. I don’t know what I am. I can’t remember who I was. every I know is that if I cease running he’ll find me. 1 I go to Westchester High, in silent country town. There are close to 400 kids, every of them have known each other their whole lives, except for the few outcasts like me. But it doesn’t really matter where I am now; tomorrow I’ll be somewhere else, somewhere far away from here. I don’t know where I’m going, but I know that when I receive there I will be safe. Safe. A word that people take for granted. But I’m on my possess. Got my bags packed, actually bag, I don’t possess too much, I can’t. Becoming attached, means being weak, I can’t afford that. My reflection catches my eye as I leave my apartment for the last time. I look a stranger. She looks young and beautiful. Her hair is pulled up into a messy bun with a black clip, offsetting her blond hair. She looks distant and icy. But her eyes, you can look everything in her eyes. She quickly covers them with her black sunglasses. I turn towards the door. I don’t need to look this girl. The one who wears black; the one who made everything happen. She is not me; I have disappeared a long time ago. I head out the door and look the newspapers still sitting on the doorsteps in my hallway. My neighbours aren’t up yet, except for Mrs. Hallaway. She wakes up when the sun comes up, reminds me a bit of my mom. She has four kids, every of whom are troublemakers. I would help out when I could but she won’t be surprised to look me gone. No one ever is. I’m not the friendliest person, I wish I was, but it’s too difficult to say goodbye. I put Mrs. Hallaway out of my mind. It’s time to forget her, and I will sooner or later. I head down the only staircase in the building, which is only two flights to start with, and then I’m outside. It’s beautiful right now, the sun came up only shortly and the birds are already singing. I won’t have to head over to the school, like I normally do. Yesterday, I walked into the administration office and simply asked for my records. The secretary gave me a quizzical look but she couldn’t do anything about it. In this town I’m known as the emancipated minor, or in other words, I am legally on my possess. Who would she call? My parents? I receive on my motorcycle, turn on the radio, and head for the open road. I steer a Softtail bike called cross bones. Just came out this year, and while away in Atlantis, I crossed paths with a jerk who had a sweet ride; long story short I wanted the bike and he got a broken nose. I reach the interstate and make a quick decision. I’ll go north. ***** It’s a little over a day and I’ve reached where I’m content with staying. I crossed over the border tardy last night, not like they would know that or anything. You look I don’t really have the right ID. Anyways, I stopped in Kentucky to eat and snooze but I didn’t waste time, I wanted to keep moving. I’m now in a town in the Southern part of Ontario. It’s not nearly as tiny as the last one. It has close to one hundred thousand people. Tomorrow will be my first day at a new school. More questions though, since it’s nice of a weird time to start, schools been going for a couple of weeks now. I guess I better turn out the light for tonight, I’ve already stayed up later then I should have since I couldn’t find a place to stay and now I’m in a motel. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. ***** Beep Beep .. Beep Beep. I sigh as I rollover. Why do I do this? I wish I could skip today, but skipping means more questions. “Uhhh! How I hate this. Ok, I got my keys, bag, money for food and.. Aw man, I forgot to receive school stuff,” I say to myself. I have a habit of talking out noisy. Tomorrow I’ll have to go to the store, but for today I’ll have to borrow from someone, again. I take my time getting ready and picking out clothes. From what I saw yesterday, this town has a bunch of different styles going on, which means I can finally where something I like, instead of something that everyone has to have. I toss on black skinny jeans along with a loose fitted red v-neck shirt with a white tank underneath. I toss my hair into one of my messy buns and decide that it’s probably a good idea to where my helmet to keep up appearances. I know I’m running tardy but its better this way to receive every the curious stares out of the way than to have to suffer through conversation after conversation. When I arrive at the school,

Open Question: Is there a better alternative than helmet laws for cyclists?

let those who ride decide. what cyclist really need are proper cyclist lanes. instead of having to share the road with every the other traffic narrowly passing by swerving into the other lanes by way of a follow on effect. i have nothing against cyclist. in fact i want to ride one but not with a helmet on. i have something against a law that is in effect designed to prevent a manslaughter charge to the motorist by fining the cyclist for not wearing a helmet. the bicycle riders need their possess special lanes next to the road and not be on them sharing them especially in a 80klm/hour zone with no where to go for them if 2 cars happen to pass at the same time. cyclist need their possess lanes to commute on,thats much safer than a flimsy helmet. and just in case you every start read below. (as a kid i got hit by a car while riding a bike ,a helmet would not have safed me from hurt as i did not wear one,nor was it required,a cycling lane would have prevented the collision.) Ashley,in effect yes and money is only something that is printed. if i could pick between cycling with a helmet in buzzy traffic or travel without one on a special lane then i would pick the cycling lane. there is nothing better than a proper cycling lane.

Open Question: Jumping on a trampoline to lose weight?

I jump in the morning before breakfast, before lunch, and after dinner for 30 minutes each time. It really gets my heart pumping, and I like it. I stick too a pretty strict diet of whole, natural foods, and I also go for a twenty minute bike ride, do 200 crunches and 30 leg lifts twice per day. Is this good? I consume somewhere between 1200 -1500 calories per day, and I drink 8 cups of water. Does this sound like a good plan? I've been doing this for about 3 days so far, and have lost about 3 pounds.

Open Question: Do grapefruit juice diets actually work?

I've put on abound 17 pounds this summer (I lost around 80 pounds between summer 2008 and summer 2009, and stayed the same until this summer). I don't like how much weight I've gained, and I was just wondering if grapefruit juice diets really work. For example, if I were to eat extremely lean meats in very low quantities, paired with a cup of grapes and nothing but grapefruits and grapefruit juice (and 45 minutes of biking on rough terrain and hills), would that induce weight loss? Thanks! P.S. school starts for me on the eleventh, so I'm wanting to try to slim down a couple of pounds before then.

So i have a schwinn stingray bike. I put oringial in quotation marks because its a new bike, but in the original design (not the chopper version). The bike I have came with the 26" springer fork, which means i have the 16" front wheel. I want to receive new bmx wheels on my stingray but obviously, i dont want a two different looking wheels. So i found Schwinn makes BMX forks that can fit 20" wheels. So can i receive rid of the 26" springer fork and replace it with a Schwinn BMX fork without any problems?

Open Question: '99 Honda Shadow VLX 600 push button start?

"Headlight won't arrive on and starter button won't start the bike. It will push start though. every other lights work. Runs fine if push started. Battery fine, fuses are fine, starter turns so that points to the starter button switch as the culprit." I took it every apart and sure enough the contact points were worn and dirty, so I cleaned them but I think they're still worn to the point of replacing. My question is do you have to replace the entire right side handlebar switch box? every I really need is just the push button with the contact piece. http://www.hdlparts.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=177034&category=MOTORCYCLES&make=HONDA&year=1999&fveh=4020

nothing really special, just looking for something me and my girlfriend can cruise around the city during the night having a good time. i don't live in an area with a lot of steep hills but we do have a lot of traffic lights and cease signs etc. i really like the way fixed geared(or fixie) bikes look, the style of frame and rims but what i don't like, is the fact that they usually don't have brakes and you really can't cruise without the pedals constantly moving and generally receive a lot of hate from the cycling community. so my question is, Is there any bike that has the style and frame but isn't a fixed geared? if so whats the name? and some websites i can maybe receive some pricing. thanks for every your serious answers.

Open Question: opinion: man wants to sue for teenager for 120 thousand..?

so "tod" was 13 when he was riding his bike on the sidewalk. he was crossing in the crosswalk when a professional-looking biker ("Larry" - 35) riding alongside cars in the road came up and they crashed at the same time. Larry broke his collar bone in the incident. before the accident, larry was having problems with his shoulder and was given the option to have his problems corrected through a very expensive surgery. since it wasnt absolutely necessary, he didnt go through with it. after the biking accident, larry's doctors said the shoulder surgery was NEEDED, since the collar bone breaking somehow made it worse. anyway, larry is trying to sue tod for $120,000. what do you think? tod saw larry when larry was 20 feet away and assumed he would slow down. but larry didnt. tod wasnt injured.

I'm looking for a sport bike with the greatest storage space. By that I mean seat storage. I already have saddle bags, a tail bag, and a tank bag. But as far as bikes go which sport bike has the most below seat storage space. I have a Ninja 250r and I can barely fit my hand in that space. Also, I'm looking to upgrade from my 250r to a bigger bike, I was considering the GS500, but if there is another sport bike with more trunk space I'd like to know.

Open Question: Am I antisocial........?

I have friends...17 to be exact, but most of them, like 98%of them are just the ones who i know just in school, and out of school, they disappear. those 98% aren't super great friends either. They are just one of those people u have to talk to. Some are better then others. The other 2% are my best friends, Amy and Christine. I look them on weekends on on summer break. They always want to hang out, but i make excuses, saying im busy, because i'd rather be alone. I never want to be around people, i try to avoid them. I deliver news papers with my mom, and when ever i look people, i ask if she can do that home for me. I dont like to go to the store alone. I dont like to go to a different part of the store without someone with me. I cannot be alone. I feel awkward. I cannot do anything alone, it feels awkward. I dont like to talk at school. I dont like to answer questions, even if i know the answer to them. When they randomly call on me, and receive very nervous, and talk very very VERY silent. When we gift things in front of the class, im am SOOOO silent, thay hardly anyone can hear me. My voice is noticeably shaky, and i can feel my body shaking. I dont like to ask questions in school either. My mom and dad always tell me that they have never met someone as shy as me, because whenever they tell me to do something like, go to the store myself, or talk to someone, i wont. I will only go to the tiny market down the road, because i know the people there. I still feel awkward though. I wont even go out and receive the candy on the road during the 4th of July parade. My mom yells at me when i wont go ride my bike to receive something from the big super market. She always tells me to go ride my bike, or go to the park, or go for a walk, but i cant. I dont even feel that glad being with my friends. Only on certain times when i feel like it. Am i antisocial???? by the way im 13 and no, i dont usually talk this much, i just had a lot to explain to receive my point

Open Question: Burning more calories at a gym or outside?

I like to work out outdoors more than at a gym. By working outdoors, i mean running, playing intense tennis, riding my bike. And i don't just run or bike and not sweat. I like to run, bike, play tennis until im sweating profusely. lol I feel the more i sweat, the better the workout. And plus if im having a good time, i dont mind not stopping. But sometimes temperature may have an impact on how much i sweat. But that makes me more motivated to sweat even more because its so hot! (don't worry i stay hydrated with water) when i work out at the gym, I like to use the equipment for about 20-45 minutes using either the treadmill or ellipticals. I burn between 200-400 calories in one workout session. Sometimes i wanna just receive off the machine cuz its kinda boring. I don't like listening to music when i workout, i know its kinda odd but I like the natural surroundings. Especially when im outside. Anyway Do i burn more calories in aerobic sports in 75-90 degree weather or is it the same as working out in the gym? I usually run or bike for 30-60 minutes but i do it intensely so i work up a really good sweat.

Open Question: Is this a Healthy Schedule?

This is what I usually do on an average day. I wake up at like 12:30PM and I have a smoothie with strawberries, a banana,low fat milk, low fat yogurt, and a bit of protein powder. Then I go downstairs and I usually watch some TV for 30 minutes, then I will lift some weights for 30 minutes or so. Then I relax a little bit. After that, I run on the treadmill for around 7-10 minutes, usually 4-6minutes of jogging and 3- 4 minutes of walking, after about an hour of watching some more TV or Playing some games, I will go on a 20 minute bike ride, some days I go swimming sometime around those for like 2 hours. Then at like 4PM I have a little snack, something like applesauce, an apple, some blueberries raspberries and grapes. Then I relax a little bit and I lift weights while watching TV or listening to music until it is dinner time. For dinner I don't really know what I always have, but it is usually like 500-600 calories, maybe a little less, I am not %100 sure. Then I go and either go on another bike ride for like 5 minutes to 10 minutes, or I lift weights, do push ups, and crunches. I try to do tug ups but I can only do like one, so I am trying to receive stronger by lifting weights. I am 5 feet tall and I weigh 130 pounds, so I am trying to lose weight, I am 12 years old, almost 13 and I am a boy. Only serious answers, if it is a good schedule, please say so, if there are anything i could improve on please tell me. thanks! :) PS: If anyone could tell me how many calories I would lose on average from this diet without the swimming please let me know :)

Open Question: Do you know what I need?

I've have knee pains in both knees, and on several occasions I'd be running in sports, and I would just collapse, I'm 13 years old, so quite young for having my bones worn down like when you receive older. Where I used to live, I went to the doctor, and the doctor just put a temporary bandage on one of my knees (the one that hurt at the time, now both of them hurt) And I've been reducing the pain by ice, but after the ice, they just sting (not from being numb, from pain) and because I don't have medical insurance yet (I moved to America 4 weeks ago) And 2 weeks ago I was swimming every day, but I took a 2 week brake, and the pain is just the same, I haven't gone running or biking yet, but usually my knee will start to hurt about 2 minutes into the run, or 30 minutes into the bike ride... I've been attempting to research knee surgery, but I can't find a lot of information on it, can someone also send me links about it, or information?

Open Question: What kind of character does this sound like?

Walking Down the road. Its concrete I'm walking on, sure the little black bits don't count, but the majority is called concrete. One step turns into two, then three, and soon I'm walking, its very common. Most people walk. The sounds of peoples different shoes on the difficult surface of the sidewalk, is very chaotic. No pattern, no rhythm, no grace. I walk with grace. No her name isn't Grace, I don't walk with a girl, or boy or anyone real. I walk with a type of walk that is graceful, full of smooth movements and naturally flowing footsteps. I have to walk, so I do it well. Then again, I could hop, run, skip, crawl, cartwheel, roll and... jump on someones back at yell at them to carry me where I wanted to go. At least if I did the latter my worn down old shoes wouldn't make that dreadful sound when I walked. No, no. I'll walk. Not on the road, that's usually for cars, and people with bikes, and people in parades. Walk on the footpath, that's why its called the footpath? People walk on it. There are joggers, business men (and women) who look important when they aren't, stylish groups of young people, far too slow old people, the occasional child and mom walking hand in hand to school. First step off the steps I am standing on. *Pompscrch* Ugh, I need some good shoes, like that business man is wearing, or that jogger; they look good. Oh, keep walking. Step after step after step, step, step. Yes I am walking with grace, rhythm and... tranquility. I can keep this up. There's something about these people walking past, about their attitude. They have something I don't have. That mom and child are entering an ice cream store across the road, a casually dressed lady sits down outside the cafe, on a blue seat. They are every going somewhere. Where am I going? I'm trying to achieve a unique state of mind. This will not fill up a whole book, that would be too annoying. But this is a characters perspective. Nice. Thank you for your time and effort. It's not supposed to be well written, its supposed to be written by a simple minded character who look's the world differently. On re-read, it does sound very awkward. It's not a story, its a state of mind of a certain, odd individual. So it's not telling a story, well. It's a wierd character trying to walk

Open Question: help me please!!!!!!?

I am 13. and one day we were at the school playground me and about 5 friends and we were taking pictures. these guys were playing football and 'accidentally' threw the football to were we were. we took the football hid it and didn't give it back for an hour as a joke. and after we gave it back me and my friends every left. then me and my pal (let's call her jenna) were riding bikes around my neighborhood and seen them driving (they are 18) they yelled the name of the school and told us to go there. so we did. then we started talking and we found out there names.. then when i got home i had a facebook request from one so i added him. well he started telling me i was cute and was like who do you like?? and i felt bad because earlier in the conversation he was talking about how no one likes him and that he feels lonely so i (outta sympathy) said i like him then he goes i like you! and i freaked i was like your 18!!!!!! and he goes so!!! and then he started freaking out because i wouldn't date him!! then when i was at my friends playing basketball they drove down the strett (twice!!) then kept texting me :( okay so here are my questions 1. is it my fault for saying i like him? 2. What would you do in my shoes? 3. Am i overreacting??

Open Question: Can some1 help??? 10 points!! Protest Song?? help (:?

Okay can some one analyze and justify sorta brief to how success-full this tune is in achieving its protest purpose "Hands Held High" Turn my mic up louder I got to say something Light weights step to the side when we arrive in Feel it in your chest the syllables receive pumping People on the road they panic and start running Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and Jump when they tell us that they wanna look jumping Fuck that I wanna look some fists pumping Risk something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater the wealthy and abandon needy Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque Asking you to have compassion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the relax of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing like "what did he say?" [Chorus:] Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen In my living room watching but I am not laughing Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen World is icy the bold men take action Have to react or receive blown into fractions Ten years old it's something to look Another kid my age drugged below a jeep Taken and bound and found later below a tree I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me Do you look the soldiers they're out today They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away It's ironic at times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside When the wealthy wage war it's the needy who die Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the relax of the world watching at the end of the day both scared and mad like "what did he say?" [Chorus x6] [x6] With hands held high into the sky so blue, As the ocean opens up to swallow you. its by linkin park this is what the sheet says: Select a protest tune thay has been studied in class or one of your possess choosing. use Deconstuction/ annotation of these texts as a scaffold to enable you to analyse and justify how successful you belive this protest tune is in achieveing its pourpose..... you must use quotes from the tune to provide evidence for your analysis

Open Question: someone please help me solve these 2 problems? i'm totally lost, thanks in advance?

Open Question: "I wanna ride." Honda promotion? Is it a good deal?

Ok so I'm looking into some bikes and this promotion keeps popping up in my face everywhere. is this a good deal i mean the "LOW FIXED RATE" sounds tempting. also my BIG question is could i even receive it financed if both my parents and me every co-singed, but their credit score is 0? could i show my pay stubs? also how "low" are these rates usually? say for an '09 230L would it be like $700/month or more like $50/month? (i know it depends on alot of things but im asking generally) and if you don't have an answer specifically to my question over, have you had a bike financed before? has it turned out well? has anyone here actually tried this new Honda promotion? AND is this even a good time to buy??? Thank You!
