Resolved Question: HS: What Horse accidents have you been in?

I have too much time on my hands at the moment. So I was just wondering if you have any stories of falling off a horse or any other horse involved accidents that got you injured or in hospital lol. I was at pony club one year, and I was borrowing a small green broken pony. I wasn't a very experienced rider then (I am more experienced now) and I was competing in E grade show jumping on the rally day. Anyway, I get to the 4th jump and the pony bucks a few times, jumps the jump sideways, then rears. I fell off and hit the ground with all my weight landing on my hip. So of course I cracked my hip, and a big chunk of bone came off it too. I was in hospital for a day and on cutches for 6 months :D That same pony bit a chunk out of my stomach while i was doing up the surcingle on the stock saddle I was using. Still have teeth mark scars :D Just this morning I was mucking out a 'quiet' horse's stable, it kicked out and just missed my leg by a few inches :O These things are what make horse riding fun :P I still ride today if you are wondering :D I'd love to hear your stories :)Isn't falling off horses the best? ;) LMAObtw, in my question where it says cutches, I meant to put crutches lol more

Resolved Question: How should i lead on from this?

Where was she? A vivid, radiant, bright light blinded her eyes. She thought of books she had read on earth about going to Heaven they describe a bright light that took you to the gates of heaven. Was this the light? In that moment she felt her stomach churn with a mix of nerves and excitement. Was she really going to Heaven? She expected that the next thing she would have seen would be the grand gates of Heaven surrounded by white fluffy clouds and angles making the most magical music she would have ever heard. She couldn’t believe that soon she may be in Promised Land. But as the light started to fade; there were no white clouds, no angles playing harps and certainly no grand gates. All there was the automatic doors to Morrison’s Congleton. As she walked towards the doors of Morrison’s Congleton she was baffled to why she was here! She sat down under the green canopy outside the door on the small red brick walls. She had spent her whole life trying to get away from this life. She looked towards the metal bench inside where she saw what she was would call ‘old biddies’. The women sat there with their tartan shopping bags on wheels. The men were sat with very little hair and peachy age spots covering their worn skin. As she looked down she now realised that she was an ‘old biddy’ too. She no longer had the body of an 18 year old; she had the body of an old women. Her stomach showed the scars of child birth and neglect while her legs were no longer slender muscle, they were cellulite hams. At that moment she felt a voice inside her head telling her to go in. When she did this she felt a pull towards one particular isle; the narrow Isle. This isle as she remembered caused a lot of confusion it was about one metre wide and usually filled with mothers fighting over who gets the last bottle of Heinz tomato sauce. As she approached the isle, she could hear a familiar voice that she hadn’t heard in a lifetime. As soon as she turned the corner a women clung to her; she felt completely bewildered. However this women’s hug felt familiar. She smelt like a mixture of cotton and coffee. There was only one person this could be, Nanny. As her nanny let go her eyes were instantly drawn to her Nanny’s leg, she couldn’t believe her eyes she was wearing the grey tracksuit bottoms and the cream body warmer. The grey tracksuit bottoms drowned her small frame. ‘’Nanny!’’ she exclaimed, overjoyed but confused. ‘’Sarah, how are your children?’’ Nanny replied. Sarah was now really flustered, how did her Nanny now that she had children, she died when Sarah was 21, 10 years before she had children. ‘’What? How do you know I have children?’’ ....... Sorry there are probably a lot of mistakes i am just not sure where to go next? Thanks in adavance for your help :) more

Resolved Question: How does this sound so far for my novel? Also how can i expand it to hold suspense a little bit?

Carter sat in her tree-house reading an elegant book. It had a smooth earth-green cover made of leather. It read on the front in gold letters “Magic and how it works”. Carter was in the middle of it. She wanted to used magic, but her father and mother would torture her if they found out she was studying magic. One time Carter tried the subject with them and it went from calmness to bizarreness! They reacted horribly! Although she didn’t know what she did, Carter developed an interest for magic. She still had school throughout the year, but she wasn’t worried. Carter was home schooled. She had been since she was only seven-year-old. Carter always knew her parents were hiding something, but nothing came to mind. She did really well. A’s in all classes. Her parents always bought her, her favorite thing she wanted most once the grades were all A’s. Carter knew there was something with her parents, but she didn’t ask. She continued reading: Many people think that dragons and dwarfs are myths. Is this true? No. They are real. As real as can be. They are hidden in books. If you’re a traveling wizard you will be able to do this. If you are a potion wizard you won’t. If you are a mortal you can change into a traveling wizard by trying this experiment. My name is Katie. I was a mortal once but I changed into a traveling wizard with one flick of a wand. First you have to go and get a wand at the wand shop in CENT CAVE. There are thousands of shops in the dark cave. You’ll need a flashlight even in the day time. You’ll also need robes, a pet, and…I’ll send you a note secretly and directions. You see, I have a scanner so I know who is reading this. Thanks for reading this entry. Turn the page for the next one. Carter put the book down completely frozen. She guess she was going to “Cent Cave”. Carter went into the door as it swung open and hit her across her cheek. Her cheek was full of blood and scrapes that would be too bad to disappear. They would turn into scars. “Ha, Ha!” laughed Carter’s little brother, Joey in her face. Carter looked at him eyes turning red then back to the regular shade, green. Joey ran for dear life screaming. Carter had chestnut-brown hair and emerald-green eyes. She was funny, nice, calm, adventurous, courageous, and fun. She loves to read, write, and go on her “missions”. Carter felt like running after Joey, but she would just get in trouble so she had to let it go. Carter took grasp in her hands and became stronger. She may’ve been made-fun-of in school, but Carter never gave up. She may’ve gotten in trouble for things she didn’t even do, but she never ever gave up. Carter wasn’t a quitter. “You go, girl.” said a voice in Carter’s mind. “Yes and then she made scary red things with her eyes.” came Joey’s baby’s voice. He was only five-year-old, but he could’ve talked a little bit more maturely. “Ok, let’s go talk to her.” came Carter’s mother’s voice. Her mother’s name was Isabella. They came up in front of Carter and Isabella crossed her arms tapping her toes on the ground. “Care to explain?” she asked sternly not paying attention to Carter’s scratch on her cheek. “Well I was coming up to the door and Joey flung it open making scars on my cheek. Then I did this uncontrollable thing with my eyes and he got scared and ran off.” explained Carter politely. “Your grounded. Don’t scare your little brother like that. He doesn’t know any better.” said Isabella pointing to the stairs. Carter glared at her brother and her mother. Then she ran up the staircase. The upstairs hall had red carpet and red walls. Elegantly brown doors hand-carved. Carter ran down the hallway to the right and up another staircase to a third floor. She went to the third door on the left-side and opened it politely. She closed it quietly and went to sit on her bed. more

Resolved Question: I'm going to a Formal Dinner in 2 weeks and need a quick fix to cover up purple scars on my ankles?

I have them on my ankles from when I first started boxing 3 years and and they are both on the inside of my ankle, I also have them in the same place on the back of my ankle where I've had blisters that continued to not heal properly. I'm now going to a formal dinner in January and can't wear skin coloured stockings as I have open-toed heels and because I'm now self-concious of them, I want to cover them, but don't know how..Yes I get Foundation might help, but they are such a dark purple it wouldn't cover them properly. :( I asked my mum, she said try Green make-up? - So if anyone could give me more information on that (If it works, what tye of make-up to buy...?) - Or just give me information on how to cover them, I've given u trying to get rid of them permanently, so don't try suggesting those as I no doubt will have used it. Thanks for everyone for their support and help! :)There are also on my knees as well, it's just the same principle I take it? more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this? Just wrote it...do I have any potential as a writer?

Important memories are kind of like photographs. When I was little I tried to capture my memories. Maybe I thought I could laminate them and keep them on a special shelf in my head. I would stare wide eyed until the image I wanted was ingrained in my skull and printed on the backs of my eyelids. My effort didn't stop the colours from fading and the corners from curling, but the memory would still be there, safely tucked in the photo album within my head. Just like any photo album some of the memories slipped out from time to time. Most of the time they slipped out when I looked at the 6 inch scar on my sister's scalp. The skin was taut and shiny there, glinting smooth and hairless beneath her frizzy brown waves, not the result of any horrendous accident, but of an operation. Most of my 'laminated' memories were to do with my sister's epilepsy. I couldn't tell you much about the technicalities of frontal lobe epilepsy, but I could tell you what happened every time my sister had a seizure. Most of the time it happened at night. For some reason or another Sinead would wake up having an epileptic fit. I would wake up too, finding her jerking and grunting beneath her heavy quilt. I would sit on her bed, close beside her, and envelop her quickly with my arms. I would keep her head still as she caught my neck and arms, her breath hot and uneven on my neck for about a dozen long seconds. She gripped my arms tighter than what seemed possible for a seven year old. I kept my cheek close to hers so I wouldn't see her little face, the reddened skin and wild dark hair nothing in comparison to her terrified and terrifying eyes. Her pupils were like huge black holes, swallowing up the sea green of her irises. I whispered in her ear, hoping to God that I could coax her out of the unknown hell she was writhing in. 'It's alright, Sinead. You're alright. I'm here. It's alright,' I chanted over and over until her stiff muscles stopped spasming and the choke-hold she had on me relaxed. Sometimes she fell asleep straight away and others she tried to talk. 'A..Aisling. I...I'm scared,' she would stutter before I shushed her and told her to go to sleep. I'm a year and three months older than my sister.I'm 16, and this is based on personal experience so..be nice haha. more

Voting Question: which home facemask should i use?

which one do you think is more effective, i got them of youtube. putting slice of tomato in sugar and rubbing it over my face, then waiting 10 minutes then wash off with water. Or mixing green tea, sugar and honey in a bowl, spreading on face then waiting 20 mins then wash off with water. I have spots, so i don't know if using any of them would make me breakout more or not. Afterwards i'm just going to put some lemon juice on my scars to lighten them a bit. more

Resolved Question: Glowing green eyes??! help!?

Okay so tonight for Halloween me and my family thought it would be spooky and funny to go for a scary walk in the local wood near a pond and my sister was really freaked out and I kept making her jump it was quiet funny :L so we were having a laugh. But then we spotted a pair of green glowing eyes staring at us and it was a bit weird because it didn't move when we shouted and clapped to try and scare it off, shone a light at it and it was just there staring at us! So we were a bit freaked out and thought we would just turn around and go back and there was a short cut so we took that.When we were walking back we saw in the field to our right about 3 pair of these glowing green eyes and it was just really weird. Then they started moving towards us and they didn't scar off even when we shone a light at it =S.. We just ran off after that. I would be grateful for any information, similar experiences or anything like that thank you xxx more

Resolved Question: I have written this poem, could you give your opinions please?

The following poem recounts a terminated era plagued by post-war deprivation and poverty. A bio-chemical war, involving billions of deaths, has recently concluded. Resulting in a radiated, baron and unknown planet spawning from the mushroom clouds of past. Five and a half billion lives were lost. 90% of the earths surface was simply melted by the radiation and chemical weapons. Species were driven to extinction at the push of a button. Radiation poisoning is more common than rain and the average lifespan is 34. However, one child was born into this mess. A planet which represents all that is wrong with mankind. Hate. War. Pollution. Massacre. This child knows nothing more than to hate and to kill. As he grows with one aim in his life, survival, he questions the reasons behind war, and why mankind is so insistent of destroying the planet they were born into. Bleak Future Burning. Stinging pain of blackened sun, I feel I am the only one, Simply nothing here remains, Born into a world of pain. Dreaming. What happened to the turqoise blue?, Or rolling emerald hills I knew, What happened to the urban life?, My comfort's gone, replaced with strife. Tears. Streaming green they burn my skin, The only man who lacks a sin, What problem's has this war now solved?, The only change is I grow old. Wasted. The world was at it's peak before, In the happy world of '24, Urban cities grew and learnt, Yet now they're simply old and burnt. Help. In North Korea this hell broke loose, Iraq's the home of Hussain's Noose, If only then they realised why, They couldn't hear the world's faint cry. Time. If I travelled, a millenium dawn, I would shout an early warn, Avoid the future wars so far, and focus on the global scars. Heal. I'm speaking back at you my friends, Avoid a future's darkest trends, Global warming and petty wars, Should be avoided, any cause. Gareth Evans, 15Actually, REALISE is spelt like that. I'm British and that's how it's spelt here, unlike in America where they decided to change it. more

Resolved Question: Large Boils in pubic area/butt?

Hi, I'm a 29 year old female and for the last number of years I've suffered these horrendous boil-like swellings between my legs, on my upper inner-thighs, near (but not on) my vagina lips and on my butt. They start off as a swollen painful lump (they can reach about the size of a grape, but sometimes only half that size) and eventualy I can "pop" (ew) them and they are filled with dark green/brown/yellow thick pus and blood, they are painful for another few days, then subside. I've been prescribed diferen acne cream which helps but hasn't erradicated the problem whatsoever. These boils are painful an embarrassing. Anyone suffer the same or have any sugestions of what they may be? The scars remain for months after I've had another outbreak and they're really ugly. They are not like blisters (associated with herpes) and they do not itch (thrush) I do suffer from thrush quite a bit also but that is another seperate matter. I've also had suspected polycystic ovarian syndrome but that was ruled out. I'm at my wits end and doctors don't seem to take me seroiusly about it at all :(Sorry....um 3 ..... It isn't AIDs or Herpes.....both ruled out by doctors :)um 1 I did see countless doctors and um 2 why did you bother replying? more

Resolved Question: My Story Beginning. Please read and comment if you like?

I have recently started to write a story, I'm not sure as to what length it will become, but I would like some opinions on my beginning. Be as brutally honest as possible. This is the beginning: The golden light of the mid-morning sun sparkled magnificently off of the valley’s only lake. On it’s surface the brilliantly azure sky was reflected, several birds hovering lazily below the downy clouds. Victor could not help but to smile as he stepped from his tent into the gloriously inviting sunshine. The dew drenched grass crunched under his feet as he made his way up the hill he and his war band had camped on, the sparse trees providing him little shade, but he didn’t care. As he passed other camps, he nodded, saluted and waved at his comrades, most of who, like him, had just woken to the morning. The tantalising smell of crispy bacon wafted towards him from a large fire that was burning near the top most point of the hill. He couldn’t repress a smirk as the thought of fresh bread, crunchy bacon and a few succulent sausages made his mouth water. But he knew that breakfast would have to wait. He had arrived at the tent he was needed at. The two guards outside recognized him immediately and raised their halberds to admit him access. He poked his head through the tent flaps to see the creature of which they had captured from their previous skirmish. It was one of the Orc’s legionnaires, a veteran of war. It was immediately obvious that the beast had been beaten upon discovery and capture. The bruises and scars that covered his face, naked torso and arms gave testimony to that. It’s green skin had turned almost grey after the many lashings it had received, driven to the point of death. The Orc’s final humiliating punishment was being nailed to the very Earth by his hands and feet. Victor felt a stab of pity in his stomach. Shaking his head to rid himself of this feeling, he entered the tent completely. Staring down he saw that the creature was asleep. Kicking it sharply in the head, it stirred, opening a bloodshot eye, swivelling it to Victor’s face. “What punishment… am I to…. endure now…. human?” Grunted the Orc, injecting the last word with as much venom as possible. It was clear to Victor that the Orc was struggling with every syllable, it’s breathing unsteady and laboured. “You have no more punishments coming your way, other than Hell itself. No, I am here to gain some answers. If you tell me the truth, I will order a swift killing. If you lie to me, we will leave you pinned to the ground and feed you to the vultures. You may be lucky and die of unbearable hunger before they swoop down and feast upon your eyes. Then again, they may be too quick, and you may be eaten alive, living long enough to feel each and every peck from their pointed beaks.” He paused, watching the dawning understanding breaking through on the Orc’s face. more

Resolved Question: What do you think are the costs of having energy-efficient light bulbs?

Isn't it tragic & contradictory that an industry that promotes itself as being a friend of the Earth, depends on a highly toxic mercury that poisons workers? When British consumers are compelled to buy energy-efficient light bulbs from 2012, they will save up to 5 million tons of carbon dioxide a year from being pumped into the atmosphere. In China, however, a heavy environmental price is being paid for the production of "green" light bulbs in cost-cutting factories. Large numbers of workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the fluorescent light bulbs. A surge in foreign demand, set off by an EU directive making these bulbs compulsory within three years, has also led to the reopening of mercury mines that have ruined the environment of a remote and beautiful part of China. Doctors, regulators, lawyers and courts in China are increasingly alert to the potential impacts on public health of an industry that promotes itself as a friend of the earth but depends on highly toxic mercury for its core product. Making the bulbs requires workers to handle mercury in either solid or liquid form because a small amount of the metal is put into each bulb to start the chemical reaction that creates light. Mercury is recognised as a health hazard worldwide because its accumulation in the body can damage the nervous system, lungs and kidneys, posing a major threat to babies in the womb and young children. In southern China, compact fluorescent light bulbs destined for western consumers are being made in factories that range from hi-tech multinational operations to sweatshops. Tests on hundreds of employees have found dangerously high levels of mercury in their bodies, especially in the cities of Foshan and Guangzhou. A court in a suburb of Beijing has just broken new ground in industrial injuries law by agreeing to hear a case unrelated to light bulbs but filed by a plaintiff named Gao, who is seeking £375,000 in compensation for acute mercury poisoning that he claims destroyed his digestive system. The potential for litigation may be greatest in the ruined mountain landscape of Guizhou province in the southwest, where mercury has been mined for centuries. The land is scarred and many of the people have left.Edit: Yes Michael, i remember Bhopal, i was in school then & a classmate of mine whose family lived lost her sister. : ( more

Resolved Question: Constructive Critisism For My Story...?

I wrote a story and i wrote around 15,000 words. I printed it and read it to myself and found that i had little description in it at all. I've started a new one to practice but now i'm starting to like it. Please can you read it and tell me if i need to add/change or get better at anything... thanks I gasped as I shot up in the bed, sweating and shaking vigorously. My heart would have leapt out of my chest if possible. It thudded, echoing in my ear again and again, and again. My black nightgown burned against the contact of my skin, and I shook against the flames setting fire in my head. My blood was boiling, my face flushed and my body quivering. Another nightmare, same story. I slowly got out of the bed and into the bathroom. Pouring water into my hands and on my face, the sudden change of temperature reacted with my living corpse and coolness rushed through my veins. I stood frozen in place, my numb feet standing on the black and baby blue tiles on the ground. The room was silent, well, I was the only one there. The hallway was also silent, which was odd as there were normally drunk people coming back to their rooms around now. Three in the morning, I could tell by the shadows next to the window. It was open, bringing a brief breeze and stale air into the room. Walking back into the main room – a lounge and bedroom in one – I noticed certain things around the room, finally taking in the surroundings I’d been living in for the past two weeks. There were three paintings on each of the walls, all of single women in an overcrowded city. The cars passed by, and there they were, posing as if they were in a trance. Moving on was a dark green rug, not matching with anything in particular. It was stringy and longer rather then wider. The wallpaper was torn near the bed, a message written in the corner from maybe a lonely guest. Bored out of my tiny little skull, how about you? No one had yet to reply to her message. The room was dark but still easy to see, and most of the light came from the window which helped. The rest came from the crack in the door; the hallway was always lit at whatever time. I rubbed my arm, mainly out of boredom. I was not sleepy, nor did I intend to be. Three o’clock had slowly begun to turn into a routine for me, the nightmares, all a routine. What was in the nightmares however was far from the same. They were all different, scaring me in ways I couldn’t imagine and ways I didn’t think possible. I envied the sound of silence in other rooms. It would mean that they are sleeping peacefully, without seeing vultures and death in the night. I sighed, the sound of my heartbeat slowly becoming steady and quieter. Often, on any one of these long and isolated nights, I would imagine myself dying. There was always rope for the curtains in these kinds of hotels, easy. I always imagined tying it to the curtain rail, the hard strong pole. There I would hang, until the hotel man found me wanting to get rid of me, he had other customers who would pay for this dump. I wouldn’t care, I was dead. I wouldn’t care about the other customers, they got gossip to spread after my existence had ended. I wouldn’t care about the hotel man, after al, I had paid him, this would attract more customers – maybe – sounds perfect for everyone, even me. So why don’t I do it? The answer is simple really. It’s because I’m a chicken and scared of the process. What if someone finds me in the middle of it? I could end up damaged and scarred for the rest of my life, maybe brain damage. That couldn’t make my life any worse, would it? I shivered at the thought of backing out at the easiest escape, the escape for wimps so everyone says. Is life just a game to se who caves in first? The questions circling my head made me feel nauseated. I sat on the end of the bed breathing steadily to myself. Do it. The door violently knocked three times. My breathing techniques did nothing and I choked out of surprise. I walked over to the door and opened it, meeting the eyes of a short and chubby man in his late forties. Larry, his name was. Larry the hotel man. I heard friends of his call his name as I walked through the hallway and into the darkness. The stains on his cream coloured shirt captured my attention, reminding me of my father. My fathers face through the eyes of a four year old was not very clear, but the stains stuck out nonetheless. “Stop screaming kid.” He spat at me, his eyes narrowing in fury and looking down on me. “You’re waking up the customers and loosing me money. It’s the same thing each night, and they’re cancelling the rest of the nights. I told them you can’t do that but they’re not having it, not having it at all. They said they would have the bill let decide, and I can’t have anything to do with the bill, not after the last few years when my son Jeffery ran the place while I was gone. So no more screaming or you’re out.” I looked at him wide eyed, wondering why on earth the Larry the hotel...hotel man would be telling me all of this. Surely, ‘No Screaming’ would be enough? I watched him, looking aggressively at me, purposely trying to scare me. Like scaring me would do the trick and make me not scream. Did he have any common sense? I decided to reply, he wasn’t moving to leave. Should I apologize? “I’m sorry. I’ll be leaving in the morning.” I told him, my voice squeaking and determined to say the whole sentence. I hadn’t spoken in days, the last to buy some food. Even then I merely nodded, muttering thank you as I left and shuffled out the room. This is Just the start so there will soon be action / romance etc! more

Resolved Question: Is my Navel Piercing infected?

Here is what I have been doing: I got my navel pierced Sunday March 22nd 2009. I have been cleaning it daily with the salt mixture and have been washing it with soft soap (Dial) in the shower (making sure to rinse all of the soap from the wound immediately after). I have not been swimming or tanning etc. Nor have I been putting anything on it (ex: Neosporin) I have not allowed anyone to touch it (including my self, except in the shower while using the soap) even while using the salt mixture i have been using Q-tips. As far as I can tell only normal things have been happening to it (first day bleeding, a little sore the first few days etc. Other than that it isn't green or bulging nor is there any pus. My problem is that, even now after 2 weeks the top of the piercing is dark purple (like a bruise). I have a mixed skin tone (think Oprah) so I feel like its just healing but I wanted to make sure. I scar very easily so if it isn't infected could anyone tell me what I can put on it so it doesn't scar (with out making it infected)? Thank you!Also I have been told 6 weeks to change the piercing. Is that correct? more

Resolved Question: low carb/ atkins 6 month plateau...i'm so depressed! Need advise?

Hey, I had a baby 14 months ago, and have managed to shift a lot of my baby weight by cutting down on carbs. I'd tried lots of other diets, but this really is the only thing that works for me... However 6months or so ago when i reached 12st (168 lbs) my weight loss has just pretty much stalled...it varied week to week from between 12st 4 -11st 13 (172-166 lbs) but i just cant seem to maintain any weight loss past 12st. I've had off days, around holidays and birthdays etc but i've always got straight back on the band wagon, so to speak, and i just dont know where i'm going wrong. I know i might get criticised for saying this but i hate my body since childbirth...everything is stretched, scarred and saggy...and the extra weight i carry looks so much worse on me now. I know there is more to life, my daughter is happy and an absolute blessing, i enjoy my job and have a great supportive partner (he supports my weight loss too) but i just feel really down about this.... OK...so just to detail what my diet/WOE is like.... i've done the low carb induction bit i drink loads of water (mainly in herbal teas) i've given up caffeine i eat plenty of fibre (in the form of salad and green veg mainly) i dont do any specific exercise...how i wish i had the time...but i have a pretty active job and walk a lot i tend to eat a big, low carb, high protein breakfast..then i'm quite full most of the day...sometimes skip lunch and if i do i'll have a low carb snack like nuts and olives...or have a fish salad of some kind...then i have dinner, which is usually quite high in protein and fibre and i guess i would have most of my carbs in this meal...like green beans and broccoli or aubergine and courgette (zuchini)...i sometimes have sugar free jelly with cream as a treat too. So where am i going wrong and any advise from you seasoned low carbers out there?I hardly ever ask a question on Answers and sadly all i got was one from someone trying to pimp their product and one from some silly bint who alleges to understand human biology but doesn't...hello fat can be turned into energy for the brain and i said i was depressed about my weight not depressed in mood or energy duh!!!!! I give up! more

Voting Question: New kid at school slapped me in the face in class and then THREATENED TO STAB ME IN THE NECK?

Hey my names Kevin Moore. I'm 16 turning 17 in May and I'm in grade 11. 1 week ago there is this new guy at our school, he came from another city. I'm not sure where. He's in my english class last block, I've already heard alot of rumors and talk about him. So this is what happened basically. We were doing this worksheet the teacher gave us, most people were all talking and stuff. My friend dared me and said he'd give me 20 dollars if I said "hey stupid" until I got his attention and turned around to look at me and then laugh about how he turned around but the bet was I had to get his attention somehow like flicking his ear lightly until he looked back.He dared me since he has a REAL creepy look about him but I didn't care. So I said I'd do it, its just a joke lots of people do it. I said "hey stupid" a few times but he didn't turn around. So then I sort of leaned over and flicked the top of his left ear. When I flicked it he turned around right away and gave me the creepiest look ever like he wanted to kill me. At this time like the WHOLE class was quiet watching. Then he said lets go outside right now to fight and see who the tough guy really is, I didn't say anything it was supposed to be a joke. Then like 2 seconds later he slapped me really hard right across the face and gave me a red mark. I was just playing a simple joke, I didn't think he was that '#%#@ED in the head. The teacher was out of the room when it happened and nobody ever talked for the rest of the class. Then when the bell ended we walked out of the portable and he came and stood right infront of me like 1 cm away and gave me the creepiest look on his ugly face and said "If you ever try pulling something like that on me again, I'm going to stab you in the neck" and walked of. Im not really sure what to do, It was all a little joke and he had to take it seriously. Do I tell someone? do I tell a teacher or my parents about how he threatened me? I already lied about the mark on my cheek. I've heard alot of things about him already, just about everyone at school is scared sh!tless of him, I've heard alot of rumors he deal crack cocaine to basically make all the money he has and he's gang related, and he has a huge scar on the back of his head and was supposbly shot and almost died. I even have a couple pics from a girl I have on facebook who made a comment, so I copied them but his profile is private unless you add him. http://s710.photobucket.com/albums/ww109/VanessaDale/?action=view&current=n640775284_6202926_5993944.jpg http://s710.photobucket.com/albums/ww109/VanessaDale/?action=view&current=n640775284_6202924_4694161.jpg And yes, he's only 16. He hasn't been held back or anything. Thats the look on his face he ALWAYS has, and I'm almost certain he's insane now. I almost have the feeling he wants to kill me. This is me, in the pic with the green shirt. I'm pretty popular at school, I have alot of friends, I joke around sometimes just for fun. I'm the captain of the hockey team and I play lacrosse. http://s710.photobucket.com/albums/ww109/VanessaDale/?action=view&current=n739183514_638107_792.jpg I don't know if I should report the threat, kick the s!#% out of him myself, or tell the teachers? I really need some advice, anyone would think it was just a joke on what I did to him.yeah and our high school is pretty huge, like 2500 people. Like almost everyone seems to know him, but he doesn't care about anyone there or talks to anyone he just looks creepy and probably thinks he's "tough" My buddy who bet me 20 bucks said I should knock him out after school tomorrow to show him who he's messing with.Its definately a gun wound at the back of his head. The scar goes right down from the top to the bottom and a long line where there is no hair. more

Resolved Question: modelling acne and make-up? ?

In a few days I'm going to be 'casted' for fashion modelling. I suffer from mild acne and have a bit of a break out at the moment! I have been told to wear minimal make-up - so I don't want the 'caked' look, but I want to try and make my skin smooth.. What is a good base to smooth/cover the pimples before I apply foundation? I currently use the maybelline Dream Matte Mouse, but it doesn't cover my scars very well. I don't have oily skin and my acne is caused by my in-balanced menstrual cycle (the joys of being a woman!)

Resolved Question: How does the beginning of my Harry Potter Book sound?

This is for my English Exam and im only 13 and i go to learning support so dont say my spellings awuful and my first chapters are really bad, and before people say its illegal, its not unless i try to make proffit on it, and there are loads of websites that encourages writing you own version of Harry Potter. I have already posted a question on this but this is a better copy and i have written more so HERE GOES Harry Potter: His Last Adventure Chapter 1 the golden note Harry awoke clutching his scar, he let one sharp scream of pain and fell into unconsciousness. Ron had awoken with Harry’s shouts and ran over to his bed, Ron shook Harry to try and wake him but it was no use. Harry only fidgeted and started muttering, “who are you, what do you want,” Ron sprinted down to the Gryffindor common room and out the door. He went onto the moving stair case and bumped into Professor McGonagall, “Ronald Weasly, what do you think you’re doing out of your dormitories this late at night? Do you ever obey the rules?” the Professor moaned. “It’s Harry, it’s happened again.” “You find Dumbledore and I’ll help Harry” said Professor McGonagall. Ron ran through the hallways trying not to disturb the pictures. “Hey turn that light off,” said an angry man sitting in a portrait. “Sorry, but it’s urgent,” said Ron. Ron arrived at Dumbledore’s office and whispered the secret password, “Sherbet lemon.” The door magically opened and in barged Ron. “Ron what is it,” said a frail old voice “It’s Harry, I think he is having another fit,” “I will come immediately” sand Dumbledore. Harry woke up the next morning in Hogwarts medical wing, his head still aching and having no recollection of what had happened the night before. Madam Pomfrey swiftly walked in flicked her wand and a chair mysteriously appeared to catch Harry as he fell. “Your friends have been asking about you Harry,” said Madam Pomfrey. “Why what happened,” “Why can’t you remember Harry?” Madam Pomfrey went to her medicine cupboard and pulled out a bottle with a crucified witch on the lid and poured out a green, gloopy, slimy gunge onto a spoon, and walked towards Harry. “ wooooow, what’s that,” said Harry nervously “ This should help you remember,” “Remember what?” Dumbledore had sensed that Harry had woken and had come down the stairs swiftly, “Can you remember anything,” said Dumbledore eagerly “Can somebody please tell me what’s going on!” said Harry anxiously. “Don’t you remember Harry, you passed out on the floor in fits, shouting about a man maybe, or a pet, you were asking them, why and what they were doing and you were saying they were wrong, you hadn’t done anything,” said Dumbledore. “Well if that’s true why can’t I remember,” asked Harry “I’m not lying, Harry you could be in grave danger, do what we say, take the medicine,” Harry looked at the spoon with the green gunge wobbling around, Harry felt sick even thinking about it, putting his mind away from the sight he opened his mouth and bared the grim taste of gloop. “Now will somebody tell me the whole story,” Harry insisted “Harry, don’t be alarmed but when you were unconscious someone or something put a curse on you, we don’t know how, or who but, we know you would have seen, that medicine if a thought remembrance, it should help you see what happened last night in great detail, you can go to lessons if you want or stay here with your friends, it’s your choice, “said Dumbledore cautiously “Madam Pomfrey, please find me if Harry has any recollections and I will come as soon as I can and please keep an eye on him.” “Yes Albus,” answered Madam Pomfrey When Hermione and Ron had found out Harry had woken up they went to the hospital wing. Hermione ran through the door and hugged Harry, “ How are you, I was so worried ,” She asked “Yeah mate, you freaked me out up there, you were on the floor and everything,” said Ron “ I’m fine, and don’t make me out to sound like a freak Ron,” Harry chuckled “Malfoy has been making rumours about you Harry,” Said Ron “What’s he been saying now?” asked Harry “He has been saying that you’re trying to get attention and is just being a misfit, and being a suck-up baby Potter,” “Well Ron, you tell Malfoy, if I was trying to get attention, I would have beaten him up in front of Crab and Goyle and then pushed him down the moving staircase, oh-no I seem to remember I did that LAST YEAR,” “Hah and do you remember when I punched him in the nose just before we went to save buckbeak,” said Hermione “That was so funny,” said Ron “Yer the good times hey,” continued Harry “Harry you need to rest,” said Madam Pomfrey “How can you expect me to rest, I have just found out that I’ve got a curse on me, and we don’t even know what it is!” “I think you should go to class and take your mind off the whole thing,” said Madam Pomfrey. “Harry got dressed into his robes and walked to his lessons with Ron and Hermione. “What’s our first lesson more

But an August afternoon, with blue hazes scarfing the harvest slopes, little winds whispering elfishly in the poplars, and a dancing slendor of red poppies outflaming against the dark coppice of young firs in a corner of the cherry orchard, was fitter for dreams than dead languages. The Virgil soon slipped unheeded to the ground, and Anne, her chin propped on her clasped hands, and her eyes on the splendid mass of fluffy clouds that were heaping up just over Mr. J. A. Harrison's house like a great white mountain, was far away in a delicious world... Anne of Avonlea The shore was fledged with palm trees. These stood or leaned or reclined against the light and their green feathers were a hundred feet up in the air. The ground beneath them was a bank covered with coarse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered with decaying coconuts and palm saplings. Behind this was the darkness of the forest proper and the open space of the scar. He jumped down from the terrace. The sand was thick over his black shoes and the heat hit him. He became conscious of the weight of clothes, kicked his shoes off fiercely and ripped off each stocking with its elastic garter in a single movement. Then he leapt back on the terrace, pulled off his shirt, and stood there among the skull-like coconuts with green shadows from the palms and the forest sliding over his skin. He undid the snake-clasp of his belt, lugged off his shorts and pants, and stood there naked, looking at the dazzling beach and the water. Lord Of The Flies.

Resolved Question: Have you visited "Gordale Scar" in the Yorkshire Dales? Critique required please, kind and able people.

We spread our wings and flew the nest, In Yorkshire's 'Dales' we came to rest. No longer young but game to play, three friends a creaking walked the way. Our pace was slowed by a medical anomaly, the handsome, fair chap writing this little homily. But Sir Wil' the Courteous at each little rest, took a chance at death by trying to jest. "Dangerman," said he-addressing me, you're holding us up, we'll be late for our tea. If you don't move faster, you'll find I'm the master, For my camera records each undignified slip. But disaster struck the master as he strode ever faster, he suddenly halted pain curling his lip. Our leader stuck down, only just out of town with feet throbbing, tormenting and giving him 'Gyp.' Sir Wil' was down but help was at hand, for Sir Roger had training in healing the 'creaky Brigand.' His forte was feet, but although training not complete, gave advice which did heal Sir Wil's 'plates of meat.' Onward we rambled in countryside still, Colin grimacing and shocked by fair Sir Roger's bill. For he charged Wil' twenty guineas, curses what a bitter pill. "He'll have me in debtor's court; What a scoundrel, what a rogue. We all know charging guineas was yesteryear's vogue." We ambled sedately in countryside fair. Lady Carole providing our sustenance there. She made delightful provisions so tasty and sweet, that after our hike we felt most replete. She carried our water, held open each gate. Such a kind, thoughtful lady, made our day such a memorable date. Janet's Foss, our first glimpse of nature's fine gift. The rock strewn landscape, our spirits did lift. The water cascading down with its life giving flow, onto moss laden boulders a short drop below. We all took our time to rest and gaze at the scene. Kindly Roger cupping hand in brook, to wipe his brow clean. For the walk did cause our faces to glow, the water cooling, scooped from the sweet passing flow. The three "SAS hopeful's" rounding a bend. Such a sight to behold, watching climbers ascend. The awesome, towering cliffs, seeming to surround, and inviting the adventurers, so many did abound. This titanic remnant of glacial flows of old; This heart stopping moment that we so longed to behold. The winding path we slowly ascended, Colin capturing moments that too soon were ended. His photographic skills ensuring moments sublime as we strode weakly upward on a gentle incline. Solitude amidst friends, private thoughts of awe. In such wild and rugged landscape, created without flaw. Each moment seemed extended, the grass green slopes aglow. With limestone pavement peeping through, our eyes on the sweeping valley below. And so the weary trio did walk homeward, Feet heavy but with hearts filled anew. "Gordale Scar" that we so long had dreamed of, a memory shared by so few. more

A man walks into a posh fish restaurant, (The kind where you pick your fish from a tank at the front.) He looked at the tank and there hiding at the back was a small lime green squid. He didn't think much about it till he noticed a moustache on the squid. So he called over the waiter and said "I want that squid." So the waiter took the squid out to Jervais the chef. Jervais looked at the squid and was about to cut its head off when the squid started quivering. When Jervais saw its little lip shaking he realised he could not kill the squid. So he called over Hans the German dishwasher. "Hans" he said "kill this squid." So the 7ft German grabs the little squid in his scarred hands and put it on the chopping board. He raised the giant clever up above his head as the little squid shook and started to cry. But when Hans saw the little squid crying he himself broke down and sobbed saying he could not kill it. And the moral of the story. Hans that do dishes is as soft as Jervais with lime green hairy lipped squid. more

Resolved Question: Advice on suspected burst abscess?

My mum had a heart bypass 4 months ago. After the procedure, she contracted an infection in her leg wound (where they removed a vein for the bypass). After numerous antibiotics and IV, this seemed to start healing, though it is still some way off. For the first 2 months, her chest wound (where the surgeon had split her sternum to perform the procedure) seemed to heal well. Only a slight scarring was visible. After 2 months, her chest wound re-opened by about an inch and for 6 weeks, large quantities of green pus poured from the wound. In the last 2 weeks, the pus has ceased, but this has been replaced by blood. Initially, she lost quite a lot of blood, though this has now slowed to more of a trickle. For 6 weeks, her GP was at a loss and for the past 2 weeks, she has been in hospital, but they have also drawn a blank after a CT scan and blood tests. They now hope it will sort itself out but I'm worried that the underlying problem remains or could re-occur. Can anyone help? more

One of these towers was right across the road from me and theyd test it once per week and believe me, it would scare the hell out of you when it went off. You see, if the Soviets fired nuclear missiles at the US they would be intercepted and shot down by the Americans over Canada, thus killing us. Every day I'd come home from school and the TV would run these "tests" on what to do in the event of Nuclear War between the US and USSR. I used to have nightmares about Nuclear War when I was 10-12 years old. Although I'm not emotionally scarred from it, my friends and I were talking the other day about how odd it was no one really talks about this period anymore more

Resolved Question: TB (Tuberculosis?

I am a 3rd yr student nurse who was recently on placement on a respiratory ward. There was a patient who had TB and was there almost all of my placement. I had the heaf test when i was 15 yrs, and got a reaction, does that mean i would not need the BCG (scar left on upper arm)? I do not have the scar, therefore never had the BCG. Do you have immunity for life? or do u have to get protected once every 10 years? i have had problems halfway thru placement, (i believed was chest infection, but 4 x antibxs later, have not cleared it up.) i now have sore throat, feels like lump further down, and an inflamed left lung. i did have sputum clear, but went green (meaning infection). i also have a uti, with proteins ++, and leucoycytes and appear dehydrated from the spec gravity reading. i have been to doctors and had xray, but no results yet. i am worried now, because for a few nights, i have had numbness down left hand and arm, when i woke up, then pins and needles when feeling returning thx more
