Who else was impressed with Sam Querrey’s performance today in his semifinal match against Tommy Haas in LA? Sam the number 6 seed took out Tommy the number 1 seed in straight sets 6-3, 7-5. It was a fairly close match with Sam breaking Tommy once in each set and not being broken at all. Sam’s only real problem on his own serve came in his last service game when he had to come back from 0-40 to hold and win the match.

I was impressed with a lot of things today with Sam. He played a very clean match with a lot less errors than Tommy. He served really well and had several key aces in big points in the second set. He returned excellently and really put pressure on Tommy’s second serve. This caused some errors and double fault.

Probably the best improvement for Sam is his movement and conditioning. For such a big guy he was covering the court out there really well today and made some really great gets.(Although Tommy did have the shot of the match with that between the legs forehand smash). I think Sam has really played well so far in the U.S. Open Series and is in his third straight final.(Let’s hope he does better than he did in the first 2 finals).

So what are your thoughts on the semifinal match and on Sam Querrey in general? Do you like how he has played? Do you think he will win the final tomorrow? Do you think that he is on his way to becoming a top 20 or even top 10 player? Do you think he is going to be a contender for this year’s US Open?

Let me hear your thoughts!

One time when I was in Grade 2, I had a spree of wetting my pants, at school. I had already done it once, and got away clean. The second day was less comfortable. Usually the urge comes just after lunch. Me, being stupid, had 2 chocolate milks, and a box of juice. I went for recess and felt fine. Then at 1:15, in class the urge came, but I would have to hold it because it was only just after, lunch and we were supposed to go at lunch. At two o’clock, the urge was becoming stronger, but instead of going to the washroom, I decided I could hold it, because my friends were playing tag, and I wanted to waste no time. I laughed a lot, and then I was suddenly thirsty. The bell rang, and I went inside, and forced myself to have a long drink from the fountain, in order not to die of dehydration. I was almost to the bathroom when my teacher said we had to go to class, I had to wait. I am scared of asking, so I was doing, my work, with the desk pushing on my bladder, which was not helping and then I hear a dripping noise, and oh god it is raining. Now I am desperate. That morning, I had three glasses, of apple juice, then at lunch I CHUGGED 2 chocolate milks, and another box of apple juice, then I had laughed, then drank more water, then the desk was pressing into my bladder, and now the rain not to mention all the water bottles. I was holding myself, under my desk. I am afraid to ask, so on breaking point, I was about to ask when the teacher announced she had to make some copies, of a sheet AND NOT TO MOVE UNTIL SHE GOT BACK. After she left I assessed my situation, I had a bursting bladder, a tucked in shirt, pressing on my bursting bladder, tucked into a belted pair of flood {When I thought of that word I almost let loose} pants which put pressure on my bursting bladder, and then white socks and shoes. I realized I might have to pee myself. I held on as long as I could and then let loose. The floodgates opened, as a torrent of pee rushed down my pant legs, soaked my socks and then formed a puddle on the floor. The pee was hot as it rushed down my leg, I sighed relief. I was fine till the end of the day, when we had to clean up. I went about my business and then THE TEACHER SHOUTED IN FRONT OF EVERYONE “Clean up that puddle of water under your desk. I was embarrassed and then my crush and girlfriend Whom I was sitting next to at the time, came down to help me and smelled pee. It was embarrassing .

And now I am wondering if you have any similar pee stories if you do post them up

I got a 95 honda accord with 75000 miles. Auto transmission. My d4 light was flashing the other day. So I checked it. It blinked 8 Times, which is, replace solenoid B. So I replaced both to be safe. I also replaced the transmission computer and engine computer. The reason this problem is annoying is cause every once in a while it wants to start in limp mode. Which if I shut it off and restart it it drives fine. Do you know what the problem could be? I have been told to get a transmission pressure clean. And get a new transmission. But it drives PERFECT nothing wrong when I drive it. So you guys know what could be wrong?

My 4 month old puppy was spayed 10 days ago (7/17) by the rescue group that had her. We got her a day after she was spayed, and by day 6 it was swollen to the size of my fist and oozing. We managed to get the swelling down by applying pressure and getting most of the pus-like ooze out. She went back to the vet on day 7, and got put on 250mg clavamox twice a day. Vet said we didn’t have to restrict activity, and that she could still have a bath 10 days from the original date.

It is now 10 days afterwards, and today she started oozing really bad again - to the point where she was dripping by just standing. But this time, it was less pus-like and less oozy, and more just blood. We were going to give her a bath tomorrow, but will now wait.

We cleaned it with alcohol and iodine, and then put some neosporin on it and bandaged it up. She’s also restricted to her crate.

Is this normal? What should be done? Should I just wait until we finish up the course of antibiotics (4 more days)?

First start of the day is fine, takes just a couple seconds of cranking. After I’ve driven it for awhile and stop the engine, and let it sit for 30 minutes or an hour or two, it takes a lot of cranking to start. The cranking is not slower than normal, it just takes a lot of it to start the car, like 5-10 seconds. I find that if I give it a little gas while cranking it will start faster. It starts up just fine if i let it sit for just a couple minutes after running it.

I’ve put fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank and cleaned the TB with little or no effect.

It seems like i’m losing fuel pressure while the car sits, but I don’t know what would cause this.
I forgot to mention, once its started, it runs perfectly, other than a slight hunting on idle every once in awhile.

My best friend is named Ron. He’s a really good kid, but back in November, I found out he had been chewing tobacco. He eventually stopped. Unfortunately, his dad passed away, and that was really hard on him. His home life isn’t that great. He doesn’t get along with his sister and his mom comes across as a female dog. That’s the background information that might influence your answers. Here’s the problem.

Ron joined an organization at my school (along with me) called HUDDLE. We go to the elementary schools monthly and give lessons on drugs, tobacco, alcohol, etc. Obviously, you have to be completely clean. At this time, Ron was, and he signed a contract and everything saying he would stay drug free for the next year and would do HUDDLE. This was in May 2009. Well, Ron tried marijuana with his cousin (he’s a major pothead) on the 4th of July 2009. He said it was around 3am and he was pressured by his cousin. Ron said he had fun, he doesn’t regret it, and he would do it again. I really didn’t say anything, but I was pretty upset because he was being a hypocrite with HUDDLE and he had told me before he wasn’t going to try it. Since Ron and his cousin don’t really see each other often, I just felt like it wouldn’t be a huge deal if he only did it with his cousin now and then. Ron also told me he was done for the year with drugs.

Two weeks later, he is texting me that he’s at his cousin’s house and he’s smoking pot again. This time, I stopped being Mr. Nice Guy and I told him off how stupid he was being. He’s in HUDDLE and he can’t be doing this, he lied to me again saying that he was done with drugs, and he doesn’t need it in his life. He said he did it to relieve his stress, but you can use that excuse with anything. We went back and forth through texting and I kept my tone mature and I didn’t swear. After what happened with Ron and I when he was chewing tobacco, I just told him I’ve had enough and I’m done worrying about him.

We haven’t spoken since last Wednesday, and his birthday is coming up. I already got his gift and it just got here in the mail. I miss him as my best friend, but I realize that I have better friends and I’m better off without him. However, it still feels like there is a part of me missing because we were really close. I don’t know what to do. I don’t feel I did anything wrong. He lost my trust when he kept lying. I don’t really like pot and he doesn’t need to start doing drugs and getting stupid when their family can barely support themselves. I know he only did it twice, but I don’t have faith that he’ll do it moderately. He chewed tobacco like crazy.

Should I move on? What should I do?
I am also gay, and he knows that. I am afraid he’ll tell everyone I’m gay once we’re officially no longer friends. I told him because I trusted him, but now look.

I have been experiencing cramping that is pretty painful with pressure. They are not consistant or anything but today I was cleaning and out of no were watery discharge comes running down my leg and its still slowly going. I went to the hospital and they checked it and said it did not test as if my water broke. But i am still having excessive watery discharge!! What could this mean? They were actually pretty rude and didnt tell me much? Can anyone give me some relief?
O and i am only dilated to a 1 but 75% effaced.

so i hv this work issue. i’m 20 n currently just working again as a preschool teacher (i was working before for only three days and drop out bcoz i can’t stand the job). so bcoz the boss needed more teacher n she pretty like me, she always asked me to come work again.

i accepted her offer simply bcoz of my family. bcoz of global crisis, my fams who was before a rich family now became pretty poor. i had to sell my car n my house which i hv been living for 13years. i hv to, at least, work for a year or two.

but i can’t. i hate the fact i hv to clean and lift so many heavy equipments. i feel embarrassed. this job also very tiring, bcoz i hv to be so active and talk so loud. and one of the senior always saying bad things about me behind my back.

i always crying for this. i want my family happy and i don’t want them to be embarrassed just bcoz their daughter couldn’t work. but the pressure just keep coming. i think i’m depressed bcoz i always think i’m useless, i’m a trash, and i wanna die.

what i really wanna do is acting, but again, there’s money involved. i went to this audition and the juries like me very much and they said my acting’s pure and that i hv big talent in acting. but i hv to forget it bcoz of my family’s condition.

i wanna go to college too, but bcoz again of money, i hv to stop dreaming. meanwhile all my friends went to college. i was taking a very wrong step two years ago when i was graduated from high school, my parents asked if i want to go to college, but i refused it saying i only want to go study abroad, but my parents won’t let me.

tell me what should i do? how to keep the burden away from me? how to fix my two years ago mistake? at least how to deceive my mind?? how to enjoy my job??

P.S. i’m a christian and i prays everyday to God and always be positive about everything. but there’s just no spirit and the burdens keep weighing me. i always cries three or four times a day.

So at work they have a bunch of 5 Gallon oil buckets, all empty and going in the garbage. Is there any way to clean them out? I was thinking of using them with my fish stuff. I want them to store gravel. I can pressure wash them, use bleach and even dump really hot water and let them sit. They are made of a good hard plastic, and have solid handles. They would be perfect if they had never stored oil. I kinda think i am going to get a bunch a of no’s but what would be the best way to clean them anyways?
