Open Question: Help.. what are these school learning games from back in the day?

Ok, back in the lost days of the mid to late nineties there were a few computer (learning) games that were floating around. All of a sudden I have a desire to play them. The unfortunate part is that, although I sustain a rather vivid image of the games themselves, I cannot remember the names. This could be a fun trip to yesteryear for some of us. So, without further stalling for time, here are some brief descriptions(I will try my best): 1. The first and possibly the coolest was a game in which you started as a little boy on a cruise ship your parents. You were all on vacation through the Bermuda Triangle when suddenly you hit some time warp or something crazy. Next thin you know, you're stranding on an island inside the body of a weird looking doll. (I recall a creepy image of a swirling circle inside the mouth of the doll and you fall into it) After that, the whole goal is to explore the island and figure out puzzles and collect parts to some magical machine. I think there's a witch who dod all this to you some where in there. I also remember a game with music records lying on the beach and you had to pick the correct one or something. There was a big pot in which you mixed your collected items too... 2. This is a rather brief one, but still awesome none the less... There were multiple levels in a shoe making factory where you had to manage the shoe making line with all kinds of widgets and gadgets and whatnot. I believe there were workers. 3. This one rocked... I was a game based on spelling... in the amazon. There was a super old and wise shawmen with a robe, was bald, held a staff and asked you to spell things. At the end of every level you were asked to spell a ton of words that you learned or you couldn't advance. This took place on, you guessed it, the Amazon river. You were on a crude wooden raft and whatnot. 4. The last one is going to be vague... It was a game that was based on pulleys and physics. You was to figure out the push and pull of things to lift objects. I believe there were goofy characters and not great graphics. This one (unlike the rest) may have been on a Macintosh floppy disk. Man I feel old. Anyway that's it. Some games that I actually do remember are... Snake, Oregon Trail, Oregon Trail III (2 went missing somewhere...) and that horrible Mac math game that everyone chose lat on computer game days.... Huzzah for getting old! Peace be with all. more

Open Question: I got drunk at a party, I am only 14!?

So hey, I am 14 years old and my name is Courtney. This girl I really don't like named Jane invited me to her party last night. She asked me to come early because she was making all of the food herself and she wanted help. OK.... I went. She made me come at 5:00 two hours before the actual party. She was making pizza and lasagna and cupcakes and salad, and mini burgers and fajitas. HOW IS SHE GOING TO DO IT ALL in 2 hours!?!?! She already bought a lasagna and we just had to cook it so I put it in the oven. It would take two hours to cook. I was like ok Jane what do you want me to do? She said make the cup cakes. Then she takes out like 3 cupcake trays and says I need to make 200 cupcakes. WTF! I told her I am leaving and she said she will give me twenty dollars if I help her. So I decided to stay. She already made the icing and I made the cupcakes and put them in the oven. Then I pulled them out and I decorated 200 cupcakes and put sprinkles on them. Then I tried one and they were soooooooooooooo delicious. I asked her what is in the icing and she said She PUT RED WINE IN IT!!!!!! She is getting these recipes from her moms books or something. Then she told me to help her make these mini fajitas. When we were frying the chicken she poured vodka in it!!!!!!!!!!!! She said it adds flavor (MORON!) Then the lasagna was done and I took it out and put it in the table and cut it up. The hamburgers were ready made and all you have to do is fry the patties and then put them in the bun. So she opens the freezer and takes out 4 BOXES OF MINI PATTIES! And she made me cook all of them. Then I had to put 50 patties in the buns. Then I had to open them all up again and put ketchup and mustard inside. Ok a lot of people started coming inside now. She took out this huge bowl and threw lettuce and tomoates and onions and a ton of other crap in there and she is like this is the salad. I opened the fridge and there was cesar and french dressing inside. I asked her what one she wants. She said she is going to make one. So she opens her her moms recipe book inside and she goes to this salad dressing page. She pours vodka into the salad (A LOT) and then in a separate bowl she mixes in lemon and other stuff. Then she puts it into the salad. IT actually looked good. The pizza was in the oven too. YEAH WHEN IT WAS DONE SHE SAID SHE COVERED THE BAKING TRAY WITH VODKA SO THE ENTIRE PIZZA WAS COVERED WITH VODKA NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORON! And she put 80 cups on the table (she invited almost 100 people! the party was inside and outside) And she poured vodka into each cup and then poured coke and pepsi into them. And she also put ice cream into some of the cups (vodka coke float she calls it) I wasnt eating anything but everyone else was and they were REALLY enjoying it. I asked Jane if I can still get drunk and she said that she only put a little inside and it makes it taste better and also when u cook it u cant get drunk. I WAS STARVING! So I grabbed a plate and I put a fajita on it, a mini burger, and a slice of pizza. Then I grabbed one of her vodka ice cream coke floats and I went out to the backyard and ate. I was still starving and no one really ate the lasagna so I took two slices and put hot sauce on it and I took some of the salad and another drink. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. But I did feel a little drunk so I left and this morning I have a headache and I feel really hungry. So I took an advil and I ordered a pizza (I am staying home alome cuz my parents are on a business trip) Was it dangerous for me to get drunk like that and also can you really get drunk from the food even though she put vodka in it then cooked it? more

Open Question: Do you like the beginning of my story?

Fourteen Years Earlier... Toddler Heather teetered, giggling, as she ran around the house making the walls splash with water with a flick of her finger. She found it very funny to make the water swirl around and make beautiful whirlpools. It was a game. And Heather loved winning, even though she was the only one playing. She laughed and screamed joyously often. Her roars filled the hallways of her home and she barely heard the front door open. Her green eyes widened and suddenly the house she had flooded was back to normal. Everything dry, no wet stains, nothing. Her daddy came in through the doorway with a very amused smile. Heather ran towards him, smiling and nearly tripping over her own feet. Heather's sister, Autumn, sauntered behind him with slitted eyes and a scowl. Adorned in all black and that bright cropped blonde hair made her look even more scary. Heather shivered and feigned innocence, climbing on her father's back. "Daddy, Brian was s'posed ta play with me. But, he wen' in 'oom and would'n' let me in," she tattled on her brother. Her daddy smiled and went crinkly-eyed. "So how did you have fun by yourself?" he asked, fully showing that he knew how Heather had entertained herself. Heather was silent. "You know you can't just do that by yourself, Heather." Heather dropped her head and started sniffling. Her daddy reached over her shoulder and squeezed her in a partial embrace. His shoulder was muscular and felt good to lean onto. "DON'T LET HER GET AWAY WITH IT!" Autumn screeched making Heather full-out wail (which also caused the walls to pour water) and her daddy turned on Autumn. A vase fell off a table and broke into nine pieces. "Give her time. Calm down, Autumn. That was Mom's favorite vase, you know." he sighed. He looked at it a bit sullenly and the shards floated back on the table. Satisfied, that all that he could do was accomplished, he faced Autumn and gave her a meaningful look. Autumn unclenched her fists which had started to make stabs in her palm. She breathed deeply and her face lost the redness. The walls kept pouring, the carpet was drenched and all three people were sopping wet. Heather found it very difficult to see what was happening when her long, dark hair flopped over her eyes. She grasped at it, trying to push it out of her vision. "She's three, Dad. That's not normal. If she's going to be ahead that she needs to control it." Autumn confronted her father in a normal voice. "Watch." He turned to Heather. "Honey, it's okay. Can you make the rain stop?" he nudged Heather. She nodded, and it stopped the downpour. And all the carpet was dry. So was everyone in the room. Heather was glad she could see perfectly without the obstacle of her hair. "Good girl," He patted her head. "See?" he challenged to Autumn. She sighed. "She's just jealous," Daddy whispered in Heather's ear. Heather giggled. Mommy walked in looking at her watch. Heather thought she was very pretty. "Jack, Robert is going to be here any moment now. We better--" "MOM! DAD!" Brian called from the top of the staircase. He was sweaty and his light hair was matted down on this forehead. His blue eyes were wild. They scared Heather. He leaped over the banister and Heather was worried something bad would happen when he hit the foyer. But, Brian landed perfectly on his toes. Cool. "Daddy, I wanna try! Dat!" Heather cried excitedly. Daddy frowned. "Nice going, Brian," Autumn snickered. Brian ignored her. "Dad!" He gasped, he pointed at Heather staring up at him with watering eyes, "Coming for...homicidal..." he swallowed. "NOW!" He bellowed. Now, Brian wasn't as mean to Heather as Autumn but Heather couldn't help being frightened by his words. She didn't know what "homicidal" meant. "Daddy...?" she whimpered. His face grew fierce. "Autumn, Brian. Take Heather. RUN!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter One I jolted awake. I sighed when I saw I was in the same bus I had been in when I fell asleep. I had hoped maybe something had caused me to be relieved of this horror. Apparently not. I yawned slowly and my eyes began to water. I wasn't crying, definetely not. I once heard that yawning was your body's way of releasing tension in muscles. Which doesn't make sense because I spent a week and bed and was just napping on a bus seat. The yawn was probably just because I woke up. I chastised myself for thinking such frenzied, stupid thoughts. I just couldn't help it. Ever since...uh, last Tuesday...was it last Tuesday?...I avoided all possible hurting thoughts. But, that thought led to another and I ended up thinking of it anyway. I sighed. I didn't want to think about where this bus was takingsoRRY! it got cut off! just help me with what got on. copyright 6/30/09 LiveLaughLove30i mean copyright, 6/30/09 LiveLaughLoveBumblebee.

This is my story: so I just broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years in Febuary becuase he never really treated me right and dramatically lowered my self esteem and I just got tired of it. So obviously I have been out of the dating scene for awhile. Well I went on a Canoe trip with my best friend and a few of her friends last weekend and there was this really nice, charming, very cute guy that one of her firends brought with them.

Well the canoe trip went well but I could never tell if he actually liked me or not. Well I've texted him a few times in this past week and he is always really nice but flirty i'm not sure. So I really don't know if he likes me or not but I really like him allot. Well me and one of my friends who was also on the float trip were planning on hiking a mountain in our area and this guy is really active so I invited him to go. Well he said yes and we should be going Sunday. Now my friend just found out she will not be able to go and I haven't told him that yet (kinda afraid he will cancel). So my question is what do I do?

Voting Question: After I smoke meth and come down, I see smoke floating around me constantly. Why?

I don't smoke that often or that much at a time. But ever since the first time coming down/once I was down, I see smoke out of the corners of my eyes, or just looking straight ahead. It's a trip. Has this happened to anyone else? more

Resolved Question: Where is the best place to do a float trip near St. Louis, MO?

I live in south city. I don't need to rent tubes as we own our own, but we'll only have one car, so we will need a ride back to the drop-off point, so I want to go with a company. I would like as long a float as possible (say 5-6 hours). I'd like pretty scenery, but I don't want to travel any more than necessary. In the past, I think its been a little more than an hour and a half, which is fine, but if there's something closer, I'd love to know. thanks! more

Resolved Question: Why don't Mormon girls live up to their moral values?

When I was a younger man, I went on a road trip to Utah to meet a girl I knew in high school. She was a practicing LDS member who had just come back from a yearlong missionary trip to Chile. When I got to her place, she seemed really happy. TOO happy, if you know what I mean. That's when she lit up a freaking hookah and put a wad of honest-to-God hash in there. She said a guy who had done an LDS mission in Turkey had a hookup straight from there, and brought in hash and opium on commercial airliners into the US. After we hashed for a while, she told me she was ready to "party," and then out came the little baggie of polvo. She set up some bumps for us on a mirror. I was shocked. Oddly enough, she had an aversion to drinking alcohol or even coffee, even as all these totally ILLEGAL drugs were floating around. After the bumps got huffed up, she started taking off my shirt, and we spent the next several hours in a haze of hash smoke and sex. She is hardly the only LDS chick I have partied with, but she is definitely the first to bust out hash and chalk right on the first meeting. Why don't Mormon chicks live up to their moral values? more

The return trip in which were grazing the palm on the knee, cried floating and disappear On the after schools corridor at the time we and the beloved girl missed each other The sparkle grew hazy The tears that falls, at our feet the rainbow raises struggle on to the paradise Struggling just now, the cellphones alarm calls me back to the reality Sometimes theres a part in which people got wounded Getting wounded is a natural thing to attempt Sometimes theres a part in which people love someone Loving someone is a natural thing to attempt one after another, only the reality passing the dream, we continue progressing to the future The rough, lonely return trip leading people to continue walking with the beloved one scattered in the road here and there With little good cause we run on our tiptoe never too late to be not too late do you believe in those words? Its difficult to not consider it With the reason outside theres a motivation to leave something undone Until now Ive never been so alive without those wonderful things At least from now lets sing the light As for now yet to fit the space there doesnt have to be a beautiful brilliant light more than weve sacrificed The darkness escapes from the side door No rain no rainbow, lets raise our hands to the sky No rain no rainbow, lets raise our hands to the sky No rain no rainbow, lets raise our hands to the sky No rain no rainbow, lets raise our hands to the sky The prayer played across the cleared up sky more

Resolved Question: I asked this in another section, no response (it is in regard to me and my gf) canoeing ?

My fun summer with my mate is in jeopardy. Help with float trips!? Went on a float trip with my partner this weekend. It was ucomfortable to say the least. I need help! Last year, she took me on my first canoe trip. She sat in the back, I in the front and she did all the work, no problems. Fast forward to now. We took a trip on a river that was running pretty quickly (lots of rain). We were with many other boats. We were the only ones who tipped (twice). Note, my mate is an extremely experienced canoeist, I don't think it was her fault at all. So, I did notice that our canoe was extremely tippy most of the time. No other boat seemed that way. It was a constant slight rocking back and forth. This was even without any rapids or anything. She said I needed to relax, that I seemed stiff. Honestly, I felt totally relaxed and I didn't feel off balance or stiff. Any suggestions? I hate to waste my summer and not go floating with my partner again. I think it will drive such a wedge between us. She lives for the river. I'm not sure what the problem is? Maybe I'm just not meant to canoe. I feel like a failure and that I ruined her day. What would cause our boat to slightly rock back and forth like that? more

Voting Question: whatdoyou thinkof my story so far? is it alright or is it rubbish?

Chapter 1 Rose The sun finally set and now the blackness started to slowly seep in like a lion waiting to pounce on its prey. I walked across the vast green field, the razor sharp grass itching my legs. I stared at the nothingness all around me, it was perfect not ruined by man, just the glorious nature. I like it here, I come every year to gaze at the sparkling stars that look like thousands and thousands of diamonds that have been crammed in a cluster in the sky. I feel safe here, I like the way the trees surround the desolate area, as if they where protecting it from the safety of being ruined. I smiled, it was beautiful this place, it’s a place where I can be alone in peace and think without any disturbances. I liked being alone, I was used to it. When my beloved husband sadly passed away, I never found anyone that I would love as much as I loved him. When my husband died I just gave up and trapped myself in my own little world, where I can imagine myself walking hand in hand along a sun lit beach and staring passionately in his eyes. My own little world is my thoughts, it’s where my secrets and my precious memories are locked up away from any one else. Moments passed as I stood in the middle of the grassy land, the wind blowing in my face. Soon my eyes had to adjust to the darkness that now completely covered the land. It looked very different almost spooky at dusk; in the pitch black you could just see the outlines of the trees that enclosed this lonely place. The trees also looked eerie, they where crooked and bewitched and bereaved. Sometimes I would here a snap of a twig or the rustle of the branches and jump with fright. Sometimes I could swear I saw something lurking in the depths of the trees, or maybe it was just my eyes tricking me into thinking that. In the gloomy night you could hear everything. The only light was from the shining full moon that floated way above me. I looked up at the midnight sky and closed my eyes. “Please god let me know that my life isn’t going to be filled with emptiness anymore, please give me some sort of miracle” I whispered. That’s when I heard the most bloodcurdling, spine-chilling noise in my whole life. It was a noise so hard to describe, it was un-natural and deafening. It was noise that shouldn’t even exist. It was a noise from some sort of animal, or from a wolf? Then I heard it again this time it was closer, and ten times more deafening than before. I could hear it more clearly, it was too loud to be a wolf, and wolves didn’t even exist in this country. So what was it? 1 Suddenly I heard another sound, not the same as before but a high pitched scream coming from the other side of the trees. I stood still, terrified. What was I meant to do? I thought of the situation, slowly and carefully weighing up all the things I could do. My left part of my brain, the more cowardly side told me to run away as fast as my legs could carry me until I reached the safety of the village. But my right side of my brain, the more adventurous side told me to find out what the new sound was. Without warning my legs started to carry me towards the eerie trees. I scrambled across stones and fallen trees, tripping over here and there, my eyes searching for anything dangerous mainly the thing that made that horrible noise. I reached the edge of the gathering of trees and could see another large green field smaller than the other one but still the same desolate and un-ruined. I stood as close as I could to the trees making sure that nothing could creep up on me and surprise me. I stared at the misty land, my eyes looking for anything out of place or unordinary. more

Voting Question: Loose bit of bone/cartilage at the top of my shin/top of tibia?

I was playing basketball on my friend's driveway with a couple of friends 2 weeks ago, and my friend accidentally tripped me and I fell pretty much full force on my left knee. It hurt so much I had to sit out and I limped for a few minutes afterwards. Then a day after the injury, I realized it hurt getting up, putting pressure on my left knee, etc. I basically couldn't run well or do any leg exercises. Fast forward 2 weeks later and I can move around almost as well as before the incident, but I cannot kneel or put any pressure on the left knee. It almost hurts as much as it originally occurred. There's also a loose bit of cartilage or bone at the very top of my shin, or the top of the tibia bone I think. It's annoying and somewhat irritating having it move around if I kneel. What should I do? Is the pain going to go away with time? What about the loose bit floating around there? Does it have to be surgically remove or does it eventually find a place to situate in? more

Resolved Question: i have two 12v batteries i want to put in car but they are slightly different?

I have 2 batt's i am considering hooking up in parallel.. they are as follows Odyssey 12v pc625 drycell CCA 265A MCA 350A PHCA 625A Reserve 27 min cyclic charge voltage 14.4-14.8v float charge voltage 13.5-13.8v no initial charge current limit next is my main batt Eveready grp 65 12v CCA 650 CA 810 Reserve 130 and that's all the info i got... I thought if I hooked them up for my camping road trip that I could run stuff off my trucks 12v power outlet (super mini fridge mostly) for much longer without worry of starting problems or draining issues....would they be compatable? I have 0 funds to enhance the install or even get another batt to do it proper so sorry there...they both hold 12.3 on my multimeter...just wondering if it's safe and would i see a benefit? also considering just leaving the smaller Odyssey batt charged but disconnected for if the main goes to drained...then connect the smaller one and let it trickle charge the main>would this wokr?

Resolved Question: ideas on cost to repair motorcycle... '82 xj 550 yamaha 4 cyl.?

Just wondering if i am going to have to sell everything I own to get this bike running reliably... Basic, It has 4 carbs and seems to need a carb clean and balancing. With a full tune job (carbs, floats, valves, etc) minus plugs and wires, how much would i be in for? More details... I bought the bike for $900. It ran and rode just fine when I first checked it out.Like a week and a half later I went to pick it up. Had a hell of a time starting it. At first it wouldn't stay running. Then it ran but at insanely high rpms. When throttled the rpms would hang (not drop to idle position) which, of course, made shifting gears a bad experience for me. Rpms would drop only after a quick but wide open throttle rev. Finally the bike stalled on me and I couldn't get it started again. The smell of gasoline told me it was definately flooded as it was when I had initially had the trouble trying to start it. Anyway, pushed it 2 miles down the road to a shop and they said its definitely going to be a carb job. Said they'd get it starting and running right for me. Told the guy, "if it is something you'd trust not to break down on you mid trip, I'll be a satisfied customer". It is a 1982 Yamaha XJ 550 with only 8970 actual miles on it. The original owner had tipped it and hurt himself so he stored it for like 7 years with little maintenance and no riding. The second and last owner before me rode it but seldomly. But they did store and maintain it properly.And please, people... don't give me frivolous answers. If you don't know, don't answer. This is definitely in response to the NON-answer I just got... someones opinion on the amount of passion I have for a bike I obviously haven't been able to experience does very little for me. more

(go here to do so: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvTWNe_xWf2jPTKP4M2ZFXXsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090612034336AANWFN8) anyhow, my story is called "THE LEGENDARY WARRIORS AND THE GEM OF HAZAN" so as you can tell, it's a fiction story. it's full of fighting, as i like fiction and fighting. but i couldn't just make a bunch of senseless fighting, that would suck. so using my characters that i created five years ago when i was eleven, i created i new story with a new challenge. There are some new characters involved obviously and the story is more exciting and well, better in every way. trust me, if you give it a chance instead of just going off of the first paragraph or so that you read, you will enjoy it. i will post a part from what i just finished (a fight filled chapter) and give yo a link to read it all. i just want you to read it and tell me what you think. if you're interested, you can follow this link (http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2605306/1/THE_LEGENDARY_WARRIORS_AND_THE_GEM_OF_HAZAN) and read it all to get more info. the beginning is mostly sad without fighting but it had to be that way, i had to get people into it and prepare them for the big surprises that folow. so, without out further ado, here's a selection from "THE LEGENDARY WARRIORS AND THE GEM OF HAZAN": __________________________________________________________ “I'll try and distract him,” Black Lightn' shouted to Thunder as he began floating up into the air. “You try and get these people out of here. “Damn man!” Thunder replied. “I always get stuck with that stupid job!” “Just go!” “Damn it!” Thunder flew off with a trail of dust and gray energy. He flew through the streets shouting and guiding the people to a way out. “Come on people, move quickly!” he shouted as rushed through the streets flying past the people. “There's a giant monster destroying the city, come on people! Get moving! Come on! I can assure you, getting crushed isn't fun! Move along!” The sky darkened as rain clouds moved in to cover up the sun. The streets were almost cleared of the citizens. Some people weren't fortunate enough to make it out and were killed in the rush. Some people were killed by the monster, some were trampled by the crowds or ran over. Thunder did his best but even he couldn't manage to save them all. From helping people out of buildings to catching flying cars that whirled by, Thunder had his hands full trying to save as many people as possible. Black Lightn' was busy himself trying to keep the monster under control. He caught it's swinging tail as it tried to slam the ground. Next he had to blast a large billboard that fell after the monster's second tail cut through it's legs. As Black Lightn' flew through the crowd to rescue a little boy who'd fallen, he noticed a familiar face. It was a thin, young teenage girl, around the age of 17. She had light skin, long blond hair with beautiful bluish gray eyes. She was running alongside another girl from Matt's past. This girl had long curls of brown hair. Her eyes were a dazzling greenish blue and she had a smile that could light a room, even with her braces. Black Lightn' was so stuck on those two that he'd forgotten about everything around him, including the monster. As Matt watched the two run from Seven Eleven store, he was smacked out of the air by the monster's crushing tail. He was slammed into the ground with great force, creating a large crater and making a loud boom. When he looked up, Black Lightn' noticed the brown haired girl had tripped. He hopped to his feet to run over and help her but was beat to it by her friend. “Come on Lynn,” her friend shouted as she helped her up. The two ran off and Black Lightn' stopped in his tracks. It was them, he thought to himself. In the next instant Black Lightn' was smacked again by the other tail of the monster. This time he crashed through the Seven Eleven walls. When he stood up he looked around the empty store. “Where the heck is Tariq?” he said aloud to himself. “He was just here! Dang it! Whatever, that monster's all mine now, I'm gonna' destroy him!” Black Lightn' blasted through the wall and flew through the hole. “Hey ugly!” came out shout from the sky. Black Lightn' looked up at Thunder as he charged up to use his his Sonicrevolver attack. “Have a little bit of this!” The blue energy gun shot out several large energy blasts that zipped through the sky creating a large boom sound that shook the buildings nearby. The blasts all exploded on the monster and knocked him down on the ground, even putting holes in his metallic skin. The ground shook, tossing cars and small buildings into the air. Black Lightn' was almost hit by a tractor as he flew up as as to avoid being thrown into something by the street as it tore up and shook about. Several buildings were now set ablaze, filling the sky with smoke, making it hard tobreathe and see. The sky was dark with smoke and flames, the streets were torn and filled with debris. Black Lightn' created an energy field around himself as he flew up to find Thunder. Lightning struck past the hero as he flew up and rain began to pour. The loud boom soon followed while Black Lightn' looked down at the mess. He witnessed the horror of the scene with regret. I never saw this coming, he thought to himself. We don't even know why he's here. And nothing we throw stops him. Maybe we do need all of us to stop him. Maybe with help from Tariq we can finally win. But where the hell is Tariq? “Well, that didn't work out how I'd hoped,” Thunder admitted. Black Lightn' had made his way next to his cousin up in the sky where the smoke was thin. “So what now? Do we call Adam and R.J now or what? Hey what happened to your brother anyways?” “I don't know,” Black Lightn' said as he crossed his arms. “But this is not gonna end well. Even if we manage to somehow win,this is gonna' cause serious damage. This whole city is gonna' be blown to bits before we're even halfway done. And as you saw, we're not able to save everyone. Too many people are gonna' die.” “So quit floating around and do something,” Blue Phoenix shouted as he dashed past the two heroes. With a trail of blue flames, Blue Phoenix spiraled forward to attack the monster as he stood up. Black Lightn' and Thunder looked at him and back at each other before they sped after him. Blue Phoenix changed his energy to the form of a large phoenix as he neared the monster. He stopped about thirty feet away and the flames flew off as a speeding blast. The monster stood after the blast knocked him back. He opened his mouth and green energy started to gather. “This is trouble,” Thunder said as he stopped beside Blue Phoenix. Black Lightn' charged his two hands and placed them together to form a diamond. The monster released a blast of hot energy that destroyed everything it came near.The blast split and shot rays in multiple directions, destroying several things at once, even creating large craters in the earth whose lowest points could not be seen. One of the rays shot out towards the three heroes and it was moving at an impeccable speed. Blue Phoenix and Thunder prepared for impact while Black Lightn' was still charging his blast. The ray of burning green energy flew ever closer to end the fight. But in a last second attempt to save his brother and cousin Black Lightn' flashed in front of the blast and swung his arms out to the side, stretching his blast until it was a large wall that blocked the blast. But even in Hyper Warrior level two he was struggling to keep the awesome force of the compelling blast at hold for long. His own blast was far stronger than anything he'd ever done, and it was putting a strain on his body. His muscles ached as every ounce of his energy was poured into the energy wall he was keeping up. ______________________________okay, so that's all i can give you for now, wouldn't want to spoil it for those of you that'll actually read it. anyhow, what'd you think? aside from whatever grammar or spelling errors my computer and I missed, was it good or what? please feel free to go read the rest of it to make an even more sound judgment of it after you have finished reading all of this. thank you all.i didn't give much because i posted it on a website, i doubt it'll get published....although i would really like that! hahaha, you're funny charlotte.........anyhow, last time i posted a lot of info the people said i posted waaaay to much and there was no way in hell they'd read it all....so i didn't want a repeat of that............sorry about that. if you'd like, i could email the rest to you........charlotte, did you read it all? if so, give me like a three sentence summary of just the fighting scene real quick....... and also, you should read from the beginning, it'll make more sense that way....go to the link and read to make more sense of it...........yeah i guess it does need more details...i was in a rush cause i wanted to write another part but i needed to move the timeline along with that part......again thanks and i hope you enjoy the restthank you Brooklen...i hope others feel the same.......and i hope you will look it up on Fictionpress............btw, wat's the name of your story.i might check it out since right now my comp won't allow me to upload my new chapter anyways...........huh?????????????????????okay, so i just checked the link out and it'll say the site is forbidden when you click it.

Resolved Question: What are some fun things to bring on a float trip?

Resolved Question: Is this a good preface for my story?

Please read this and tell me what you think of it? Does it catch your interest. Please, don't be mean. Last time I asked this a while ago people just answered that it sucked or they cussed and they got the points. Here it is..... please no copying this and making it your own. “Do I know you?” I said in shallow breath. The boy stared at me longingly. “No.” he answered, quite afraid of me himself. I thought back to as why he would hurt my family. “Did my mom or dad know you?” I asked, hoping for an answer that was more than one syllable. He shook his head and I frowned. “Why have you done this to me, to my family?” I questioned with whimpers breaking through. His bleached blonde hair hung in front of his face, revealing a little of his shut eyes. “I’m here to protect you.” he replied, scared of my response. And he should be. Because I wanted to kill him right then and there. “Well, you’re doing a hell of a job!” I screamed. He cringed from the sudden raise of volume in my voice. “I’m sorry. It’s just that-” he was cut off as flashing red lights were blinking in my front driveway. He grabbed my hand and his hand felt warm, not extremely hot, but warm. Like a cloth that had been wet with hot water and then the water had been squeezed out of it. He was the warm, muggy day when the clouds floated above in the sky while the temperature was in the ninety’s. “I’ll come back later and explain.” he comforted me. He took at least five steps away from me and he disappeared into the forest. Suddenly, a hand was on my shoulder and I screamed in fright. To my surprise, it was just him. He grinned at my little scare and he leaned down to whisper in my ear. “Please, please don’t tell the police.” he whispered and he darted away finally. As he ran, a question murmured in the back of my mind. “Wait! I don’t know your name!” I hollered and my yelling filled the forest and I realized I was alone in the black forest. I shut my eyes tightly to shield the darkness as I stumbled out of the forest slowly. As I finally made it out of the forest, I tripped over a rock. My eyes snapped open and saw that a note was attached to the stone. I picked it up and unraveled the wad of paper that clung to the granite. I spread out the wrinkled piece of paper and began to read it. The name’s Shane. Last name? I don’t have one. That was what it said. Then, the wind hovered and rocked around me, picking up the paper with it as I staggered to sit down and realize that I had finally met the person who had murdered my parents and I hadn’t killed him yet. Kk, please tell me what you think of it! Thanks, <3, Madison BSorry, everyone! You prob need explanations! The boy, shane is an angel who was meant to protect her from everything. And he killed her father and mother because they were drug dealers and they were going to sell their daughter to a prostitute company and make money to get more drugs. This is kinda like Hansel and Gretel. When the parents dumped the kids in the forest. her parents were evil and coniving. The boy is an angel who is meant to be her soulmate but it turns out she doesnt love him. so, they end up friends in the end. Years later, the girl is alone and she realizes she actually did love him and she will never see him again. Kk hope that helped! more

Resolved Question: Please have a look at my story and comment?

Blueberry was looking wide eyed at his mother from his bed as she recounted what was going to happen on their holiday tomorrow. “…and we can see the sights at the city of Atlantis” she finished. Blueberry was still feeling excited about the trip they were taking tomorrow. Ignoring his mother’s words of “go to bed”, he closed his eyes but lay awake thinking of what was to happen the next day for a long time before finally drifting off to dreamland. But when morning came, Blueberry was reluctant to get up and was very grumpy as they started swimming to their destination. With his bad mood slowly disappearing with every minute, he soon began to enjoy the journey and was soon looking with interest at everything that he passed. After a few hours, they could see the remains of Atlantis and stopped for a while to have a closer look at some of the statues and the remains of the old town. Even though covered with moss and algae, it still looked lifelike and realistic. Leaving Blueberry to play with the statues, they went for the tour with other Loch Ness monsters that, like them came from different parts of the world to see Atlantis, and all leaving the young ones behind to play by themselves among the statues and old foundations, being eager to enter the houses, the Lochlings crammed themselves in one of them, the old foundations could not withstand the pressure and fell. They ran away, frightened by the sudden collapse as well as feeling the roof on their heads. After that, most of them went to rejoin their parents who were with the other adult Loch Ness monsters. The adults were astonished to see the house which the Lochlings had demolished earlier but thought very little about it, thinking that it was like that all along even though it looked very out of place next to the still standing walls of the other buildings. But they still had a good time later in the day where they had a big party with all the Loch Ness Monsters in the area and a buffet of corals. Blueberry floated around making conversation with the other Lochlings trying to convince them not to tell their parents about how the demolished specimen came about. more

Resolved Question: Being 30 weeks pregnant can I....?

My husband and I were thinking about going on a float trip the weekend of july 4th, but I will be almost 30 weeks pregnant by then. We were just talking about renting some tubes and floating, just wondering if this would be okay with me being that far along? Is it safe to swim while I am pregnant, like as far as my head being under the water and things like that? This is my first child, so I am just unsure about things I guess. Any input would be really helpful. Thanks ladies. more

Voting Question: Accurate guitar tab for acoustic version of "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs?

Hey guys, I'm looking for an accurate guitar tab of the acoustic version of "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. So far the only one I've been able to find floating around the internet cops out and just gives me the chord names for the chorus. I can't quite play the original version of "Maps" because the tremolo picking trips me up, but the acoustic version is just my speed. Does anyone happen to have this tab, or would anyone be willing to transcribe it? more

Resolved Question: Do you believe my dog has powers?

I have my Chihuahua for 13 years. She is my baby and I am only one she wants to sleep beside. She always has to be in my lap. So here it is. My husband witnessed this and has no explanation. We came back from a float trip with our kids. I was sitting on the couch and my foot was aching. I looked at the bottom and it was black and blue with a big white spot in the middle. It was late and I told my husband I was bit or something and wanted to go to the er. He said to wait until the morning, about 20 minutes later Nikki licked my foot for 5 minutes and it all disappeared. Other incidents with Nikki include me asking her questions and she licks my face and she is always right. It could be normal questions or something that may happen the next day. I have even tricked her with false questions and she gives me a look. The last thing is that my daughter self harmed her self Sunday evening. I was holding Nikki last night and I asked her to lick me where my daughter self harmed herself and she licked my down below my thumb knuckle. (My daughter used an eraser there to erase the bad feelings) What do you think? and yeah I may be crazy... I do have PTSD and GAD but she has done this in front of other people and they have no explanation.*oops I have had... more

Resolved Question: HELP! I think my milk is drying up, what can I do?

My baby is 8 weeks old this week, last weekend I went on a float trip, we left sat morning early, I fed her before we left, we were gone for 24 hours. I couldn't pump because we were camping but I tried to manually express some milk every few hours. It didn't really help much. Sun morning I woke up super engorged and we left right away. I got home and pumped 16 oz, normally I would get about 4 oz out of one boob and 2oz out of the other. I picked up the baby and fed her normally that night. The next morning though my boobs felt light and the baby was not satisified after feeding for an hour! I know my supply was messed up so I nursed her pretty much all day for 3 days, pumping when she was sleeping, drinking milkmaid tea, eating oatmeal..its been a week and I still am having problems. She doesnt seem satisfied after eating and acts hungry soon after. I only get maybe one oz out of both boobs when I pump now. Has anyone else ever had this happen? Is my milk ever going to come back? I really didn't want to give her formula but I don't know what else to do! How long is it going to take to get regulated again IF it even comes back? Thank you so much if you can help me!! more

Resolved Question: Long distance relationship without a long term plan?

Hi there Ok here is the deal.. my girlfriend of almost 4 years and I split up last June. She has some issues stemming from her past which lead to her lying about them to me. But we tried to resolve and we got back together about 3 months afterwards. When I was with her, she was working in international development but when I got back with her she moved into a role that was more about responding to international emergencies. We planned a trip overseas and she ended up cancelling it 3 days beforehand because her boss wanted to send her out on a 'field' visit to the solomon islands. She made it up to me by taking me away for the week-end to a hotel. Then she was back no longer than 3 weeks and she told me she has been offered a job in AFGHANISTAN. She also said she needs to decide within 2 days or so. She said it was a very good opportunity for her to get field experience and felt that she won't be able to progress in her role if she does not have this nitty gritty experience. She then went on to say that after this she can do a comfortable head office job in Europe somewhere (where I want to go soon) so I won't have to float around with her in developing countries. We ended up fighting as she did not tell me enough in advance about this job being important to her and still seems to have openess issues. She wanted to do long distance with me and continue in our 'getting back together-ness' and plan to see me for holidays this year. So we got back in contact and she still tells me the same thing. Only now, she doesn't know what she wants yet in the future...where she wants to be after Afghanistan. So- what happened to coming to Europe for me afterwards? and then she said she also just wants to plan short term right now as that is likely to show more results and we should just take it holiday by holiday this year and not plan the long term yet. I want a simple thing- for her to say she wants to be together again after she does this stint in Afghanistan! She cannot say this to me. She can say she loves me and does want me and would like to make things work with me for our future- but she is trying to be 'realistic' about what she can offer right now. Do you guys think she is unsure about me? that perhaps she will be using the holidays as a test for her to decide if she still wants me and how I fit into her life if at all? do you think I should tell her to go figure out what she wants in life and if she wants me? more

Resolved Question: Is it a good idea to take a floating island down the Salt River in AZ?

I am thinking about buying a Coleman party island or similar product for the salt river.

Can a party island survive the trip without getting damaged by rocks in the shallow parts? more

Resolved Question: Do you have any idea what this dream means x?

One day me and my mates were joking about on the computer, and were looking at clips fromthe film Stephen Kings 'IT'. Well, that night, I had a dream that all three of us (My friends and I) were taking a school trip to a childrens hospital. When we got there, they were ushering all the children into one hall - us with them. We managed to sneak out, and when we did, we just saw a balloon floating at the end of a hallway (like in the film IT) Then, just as it approached me, it turned into Pennywise the clown (when he is the monster, with sharp teeth). He was about to eat me....then just as he opened his mouth, thats when I woke up from my dream, sweating and shaking! Any idea what that dream means? Much 'ppreciated! x more

Voting Question: What do you think of my life story? (long)?

OK, January 27, 1995. Out came little Sarah. 12 minutes later, POP! Out came little Adam. When they got to 1 or 2 they got put into preschool. They were best friends. They did everything together. They wore the same clothes, had the same friends. They developed fast. Both their parents were mathematicians. But Adam was a little different. Sarah didn't notice. Adam didn't talk for the longest time. He wasn't the first to walk. He wasn't the first to laugh, or all of those other milestones. He reached them, yes, but always late. They began to develop. They both showed exceptional development. They were both reading small books in kindergarten. They both excelled in that respect. Up until 3rd grade they were best friends. They fought, sure, who didn't? Their mom took primary care of them. When she was in 3rd grade their mom told Sarah that it was possible that things might not work out between her and Sarah's father. It became increasingly obvious to Sarah that her brother was "different". In 3rd grade they did reading and math with the 4th graders. It was a very tough year for Sarah, a lot of new feelings. They ended up not going to 4th grade, and going straight to 5th grade. By this time Adam and Sarah were not so close. They still hung out and had mutual friends, but Sarah started liking boys and wanting to hang out with girls. When they went to middle school for 6th grade he became a social outcast. He danced in the hallways singing "I'm a pretty ballerina" for amusement. He go picked on. Sarah defended him. Nobody dared make fun of Adam while she was around or they would regret it. She met a friend, Tarah, who would become her best friend. In 7th grade she began to take a dislike to her dad. Her parents had moved into different houses. Adam started to keep his mouth shut. He no longer said weird things, but people still picked on him, calling him "retard". Tarah and Sarah would both scream at them. Everything turned bad in 8th grade. People would say "hi" to Adam in the halls because they knew he would run away from them, scared. The only way Adam felt safe was being by his sister's side. When Adam would get scared and run into a hallway and nobody could get him out the teachers would call Sarah to calm him down, and get him out. Everything turned bad with her father. He started to say horrible things about her mother. She couldn't take it anymore. She began to dread going to his house. Tarah started spending all her time with boys, and becoming distant and bitchy. One day, at her dad's house she was working on her science project. She was using a snap blade box cutter. She did what she never would have considered. She dragged it across her wrist. The relief was immense. Everything just floated away. Later that night she cut more and more, she cut up her wrist, inner elbow, shoulder, and leg. She still has scars from that first day. She confided in Tarah about this, and made a promise she never planned to keep, that she would never do it again. Later that week her mom told her that she wasn't going back to her dad's that week, and that her mom was going to press for full custody. She KNEW the **** would hit the fan. She freaked and made a cut on her hip. When she called Tarah to talk to her about it Tarah screamed at her. She made a vow to never talk to her friend about it again. Over the next weeks she went to court mandated meetings with a therapist and her father, which were very stressful for her. She cut on those days. By this point she had sunk into depression. She decided on May 31st that she was never going to cut again. She has never since. She went through about a month after that of self injuring, but not cutting. Eventually she stopped that too. She was extremely depressed, lowest point of her life. Then she went on a 2 week trip to Colorado, got away from everything. When she came back she had a fresh start. She was taken to a psychiatrist to get Prozac. She had a therapist session scheduled. Then the bomb was dropped. Her mother confided that her father had been reading EVERYTHING she posted on postsecret.com. She wasn't legally allowed to tell Sarah because she found out in a private therapist session with her father. He knew everything. They both knew about her cutting, and everything. They knew she posted pictures of herself, sometimes risque. She had lost her privacy. She had lost her security blanket. She had lost her home. Needless to say she was pissed.He had showed these to her psychiatrist and personal therapist. Now, almost a year later she rediscovered this story. Tarah has moved away and Sarah has moved on. The Prozac has helped immensely, and she is becoming happy. Though she has her rough points life is better. She has many classes with her brother, and he is a pain but she still loves him... she is almost done with her freshman year in high school and life has changed a lot. She began some light drinking and not-so-light sex with her boyfriend of two months. Life could be wor more

Resolved Question: PLEASE help me with some names for my float trip BACHELOETTE party!!!!!!?

Resolved Question: I am looking for a website to help me plan a camping trip to eastern WA. I want to go tubing down a river.?

I went a few years ago with a large group, and we drove a car down a few miles, then came back up, tied a bunch of flotation devices together, and floated down to our car. I can't remember which river it was though. It might have been Columbia. I'd love to do it again, if someone could recommend a river, and how to find where on the river to start and end from. more

Resolved Question: What about these then for my american fans?

Why is an astronaut like an American footballer? They both like to make safe touch-downs. She's always late. Her ancestors arrived in America on the June Flower. A old man was sitting in the front row at a town meeting, heckling the mayor as he delivered a long speech. Finally the mayor could stand it no longer, so he pointed to the heckler and said, "will that gentleman please stand up and tell the audience what he has ever done for the good of the city." "Well Mr. Mayor," the man said in a firm voice. "I voted against you in the last election." There was a very self-sufficient blind man, who did a lot of traveling alone. He was making his first trip to Texas and happened to be seated next to a Texan on the flight. The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything is bigger and better in Texas. By the time the blind man had reached his destination, a large resort hotel, he was very excited about being in Texas. The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the bar for a small soda and a light snack before going up to his room to unpack this clothes. When the waitress set down his drink, it was in a huge mug. "Wow, I had heard everything in Texas is bigger," he told her. "That's right,"she replied. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After drinking such a large amount, it was only natural his next stop was going to have to be the restroom. He asked the waitress for directions. She told him to turn left at the register and it would be the second door on the right. He reached the first door and continued down the hall. A few steps later he stumbled slightly and missed the second door altogether and ended up going through the 3rd door instead. Not realizing he had entered the swimming area he walked forward and immediately fell into the swimming pool. Remembering everything he had heard about things being bigger in Texas, as soon as he had his head above water he started shouting . . . . . "Don't flush! Don't flush!" A new wagon designed for LA rush hour traffic is called the Stationary wagon. A banker fell over board from a boat. His friends couldn't find a life preserver. One asked, "Can you float alone?" You should be ashamed," the father told his son, "When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he used to walk ten miles every day to get to school." "Really?" the kid said. "Well when he was your age, he was president." more
