Is there a higher being watching over us or is religion just an instrument that guides us to "righteous behaviors"?

I would say that "broken heart" is a subclass of "lonely heart".

I find that it's mostly night highbeams. It's SUVs which are higher than you, or their rear suspension is broke from all backseat romping :p A better question is why do morons drive 50 in the fast lane.

It depends... are you good friends w/ said girl? If you're good friends with her than it's already established that it's a friendship but if the relationship is open to something more than I would consider it flirting. Especially if she's messaging you back as much as your messaging her.

nice effort....

ENR used to have full cost indexes online, but looks like they took them down. You'd have to have the paper copy. I think what you found is the recycled scrap prices. Good try though!

MIKE

to reach pluto? 16 years 5 months going 25,000 mi/hour. How long we'll actually create technology to do it? 100 years sound reasonable?

I met her maybe 4 or 5 weeks ago. Have talked to her a few times since. Saw her at a club last Tuesday, she was drinking with me, said that if I ever needed someone to drink with, she'd come drink with me, and then she gave me her number.

being agnostic, we will never know for sure. Religion can be good if one does not have direction, but most people have their head on straight don't need believes such as religion.

so you want to know if she's flirting with you or if you're flirting with her? If she gave you her number that's a green light baby. The ball's in your court, take her out for a :beer: or some :wine: and see where it leads. (watch the rebound of course notfred)

LOL, because the temp. of the burrito is greater than the temp. of it's surroundings therefor by law X (I don't recal which law) of thermodynamics, energy flows out.

Yes, when I bought a iPod mini, remote, and iTrip (er... wait I used a $25 off coupon).
um... do groceries count?

Yes

I buy groceries for myself, no more than $25 a week. So yes, I have paid retail. I bow down to you, you want me to rub your ear lobes? ;)
