QUESTION:
Boy or girl baby gender prediction test by Gendermaker?
I just ordered Gendermaker gender prediction test, and wanted to see if anyone else used it before? I usually dont believe this kind of tests, but I came across their site and see that they have money back guarantee if the test is wrong, so I figured I have nothing to lose, plus they have a cool promotion now, they give you free Amex card. Did this test work for anyone else?

QUESTION:
For the women who know the gender of their baby already...Baking soda test?
I have a strange request.
I have been doing a lot of reading online about the baking soda gender test, and on a bunch of different sites it's proving to be pretty accurate (I saw one board that had 85% accuracy with it). I'm not one to buy into the old wives tales, I see the major flaw in the chinese gender chart (That not every single 26 year old who conceived in a certain month has the same gender child) or intelligender or other scams for predicting, but this one is nearly free and weirdly pretty accurate in many forums.
So my question is, if you know your babies gender already, would you do this test to see if it is accurate? It's very simple. You put about 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a container and pee on it. If you hear it fizz, then it's supposedly a boy. If you hear nothing, it's supposedly a girl. Foam does not mean fizz, it would have to actually bubble and you can hear it if you listen.
If you did this already, please let me know! I'm really curious!
Also no interested in anyone who wants to remind me there's a 50/50 chance, or that they're all a crock, or whatever. Just for fun!!

ANSWER:
This test is not really that uncommon, When you are having a male child your hormones tend be raging vs. a female. There are lots of other ways to tell also. If you crave a lot of sweets you are having a girl & salty foods for boys. If you carry the baby really low its a boy, or extremely high it is a girl.

Description
The Intelligender Gender Prediction Test
IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test (G.P.T.) is a simple in-home urine analysis similar to an in-home pregnancy test which identifies whether an expectant mom is having a boy or a girl.
First morning urine is collected in the collection cup provided in the G.P.T. kit. A measured amount is added to the test cup and the result is read within minutes. A yellow to orange color represents girl and a "smoky green" color represents boy (see examples below).
Laboratory tests have an accuracy rate of 90% (in-home results of 82%), depending on the stage of pregnancy.
The test can be performed as early as eight weeks of gestation (10 weeks of pregnancy). A simple instruction sheet is provided with the test as well as a toll free number should you have any questions.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! We hope that you will be blessed with a happy, healthy baby and you have great fun along the journey to delivery!
My sister in law is trying for a baby...she isn't pregnant yet but I thought when she does get pregnant I would surprize her with this. What do you think? A waste of money or the real thing!
Princess Nicki-If you do it let me know lol i'm excited.

ANSWER:
haha i actually heard about this the other day.... i think it just sounds like fun whether she wants to kno the sex of the baby or not (because it could always be wrong) and if you really do want to know she could always get the second opinion from her dr when shes far along enough. im 34 weeks and know the sex of my baby but i think im gonna go out and get one...it seems like fun =)
But i wouldnt mind getting one if i did or didnt know its just always something fun to do

QUESTION:
Who wants to help me with a little experiment?
I saw a previous question on here about gender prediction. I was skeptical, so I found a website where they claim to be accurate in determining the gender for free. I went on the website, and tried it. I used my parent's birthday and mine, and it was right! I then tried my sisters, it said both of them were gonna be girls and obviously they were so I was amazed!
At this point, all of the predictions to all the birthdays I put in said that they were gonna be girls. So I thought "Hm, maybe it just says girl for every one," so I put in my boyfriend's parent's birthdays and his, and what do you know! It said it was going to be a boy!
Does anybody want to try and see if it was as accurate for you as it was for me? I know you can always just wait, but I'm a skeptic and it turned out to be accurate for the already living people that I know! Let me know if you get an inaccurate answer, because that'll prove it's BS. Thanks!

QUESTION:
anyone know of a web site where i can get a good psychic reading for free?
i am 16 wks pregnant with my 3rd and final baby. i already have 1 daughter and 1 son,,and i have been taking all of these gender predictor tests online just to see how many say boy and how many say girl..and so today i was just thinking that it would be fun to have a psychic reading and see what would be said about the gender..i go for my 20 wk ultrasound sometime in the end of Dec. but am just curious to see how accurate each of the predictors are..anyone know of any sites that i could check out? or does anyone on here have a gift for knowing things before they happen? anyone care to guess what my last baby will be? i personally believe that it is a another girl,and so does my husband.but the rest of my family says its a boy...

QUESTION:
Would you pay for a 3d/4d Ultrasound at 15 weeks?
My husband and are are so impatient and were thinking about paying the to get one of those 3d/4d ultrasounds in 2 weeks to find out the gender of the baby. That would put me at almost 16 weeks which they say you can "usually" determine the gender at 15 with these ultrasound machines. My regular OB doesn't tell us the gender till 20 weeks when they do all those other anatomy tests. If the 3d/4d place is unable to determine, we can go back for free retesting. Do you think I should hold out the extra month or give in and pay a little money to know early (but possibly not get an answer)?
-
ANSWER:
I would wait. I have an appointment in a month and will be 19 weeks. I am still well aware of the fact that it is very possible they will not be able to sex the baby at that time. I know, the waiting is hard!!! I want to start shopping and telling people, but I just have to wait.
The likelihood of error in sexing the baby will be greater the earlier you have an ultrasound. With my first child I had one at around 24 weeks. It was beyond obvious what we were looking at.

QUESTION:
Should a 15 year old have to pay child support to his Rapist?
The Columbus Dispatch has a story about a 15 year old Boy. Who was raped by a 19 year old Female an Adult. She has had a baby, he must pay Child Support. Is this fair?
Boy's parents sue to get his baby from mom, 21
Saturday, August 16, 2008 3:12 AM
By Mary Beth Lane
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
LANCASTER, Ohio --- A Pickerington couple and their son are fighting for custody of a baby born to a Lancaster woman charged with having unlawful sex with the boy, who was 15 at the time of conception.
A paternity test shows that the teen is the father of the baby born April 7 to Jane C. Crane, who was 19 when she became pregnant. Now, a judge has ordered him to pay a month in child support and set visitation at seven hours a week.
Crane, meanwhile, faces criminal charges. A Fairfield County grand jury indicted her last month on two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a fourth-degree felony. Conviction carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and a requirement to register as a sex offender for 25 years.
Crane is living with the baby and her family in Lancaster.
The boy's parents say they can provide a better upbringing for the baby than Crane can. Her household includes her stepfather, David L. Jacobs, who was convicted of domestic violence last year for hitting, choking and pointing a gun at Crane's 17-year-old sister and was placed on two years' probation, court records show.
"We don't want to have our granddaughter abused by these people," the boy's father said. "We are trying to do the right thing.
"The child support was the icing on the cake. I couldn't believe that our son has to pay child support to his abuser."
The Dispatch does not identify victims of sexual abuse.
Crane is scheduled for a pretrial conference before Common Pleas Judge Richard E. Berens on Aug. 21. A hearing and a status conference in the custody dispute are scheduled for next month before Domestic Relations Judge Kathy S. Mowry.
Crane, now 21, is not a suitable custodial parent in part because she may have committed a felony by having sexual intercourse with a minor younger than 16, the boy's parents argue in court papers seeking custody.
Crane declined to comment. She is free on a ,000 recognizance bond pending trial. Her attorney, Sandra Davis, did not return calls. Lawyer Jennifer Strunk, the court-appointed guardian ad litem representing the baby's interests, said through a spokesman that she could not comment.
That a 19-year-old woman had sex with a 15-year-old boy might seem like no big deal to some, but it is a serious charge, said Assistant Prosecutor Julia Dillon.
It makes no difference that it is an adult female charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor boy rather than the more common instance of an adult male charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor girl.
"It is an age and maturity issue, not a gender issue," Dillon said. "He's a young boy coming into his own, being taken advantage of by an adult."
There could yet be a plea agreement. "I have made what I consider to be a reasonable offer, but I have not received a response," she said.
The incident has had lasting affects on the boy, now 16, his mother said.
"He has nightmares, he is stressed out," she said. "He is a father, even though it was a crime for him to be a father. His life is changed forever."
Crane got to know the family while she worked at a local movie theater with the boy's older sister. When Crane said that her stepfather was abusive, his family allowed her to move in with them.
The boy's sister later bought her own home and Crane moved in with her. It was there last summer that Crane had sex with their son at least twice, his parents said.

QUESTION:
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES I CAN GET CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTERS OVER MY GIRLFRIEND?
Alright here's the pickle i'm currently in.
I'm with my girlfriend right now but want to leave her and keep custody of my 6 month old daughters. While im under the impression that family courts all over the country have adopted a "gender neutral" policy, im sure it would be an uphill battle to get full custody. Not really sure what to do. Here's a little background info:
I'm 27 and she's 23. We aren't married. She was actually cheating on her x-husband( whom she has two OTHER kids with and is technically still married to) with a few people (one of my friends included) and i happened to be the one that got her pregnant. When she told me she was pregnant i told her i would give her the benefit of the doubt since the days matched up and all that. I was there for her during her pregnancy even though she had moved 5 hours away (her x-husband kicked her out after he found out she was pregnant by someone else) We planned on moving in together after the babies were born but i had to be 100% sure they were mine before i did this and took a paternity test. The paterinity test said i was the father so that set aside any worries i had about that and we started planning a move for her to come back to my city. It would end up being me and her, our daughters and her two boys from her x-husband.
It's been 3 months since the move and i completley miserable. My girlfriend is overbearing, controlling, violent and has these awful moodswings and i just can't take it anymore. I find myself believing that the only reason i am with her is because of our babies and out of fear that should i want to break free from her, i would get so f**ked over initially by her, because she would move out of the state (ny) some 5 hours away from me and that would really limit how often i could see my babies and then by the courts who would try to squeeze every penny out of me to support her.
Also, she is a stay at home mom and has no income outside of what she gets for child support from her X.
I work full time and make about 60k per year.
If i were to leave and fight for custody, would i stand i good chance of winning? Would the fact that have a full time job negatively impact my chances?
I don't know what to do. I think i may start seeing a psychologist for this as its adversely affecting me every single day.
Thanks in advance.
Tess:
The married woman got involved with me, not the other way around. The day we first met she was out celebrating her "divorce" which hasn't materialized after a year.
Crone:
I portray myself as the victim because i feel that i am. I moved in her under the following circumstances:
a) She has a promiscuous sexual history- (she slept with my friend and i within hours of each other the first day i met her)
b) She has two kids that aren't mine that also now live with me. While i like them and all, i dont want to repalce their real dad.
b) Her way of dealing with things is with anger or lunacy. She either physically attacks me (i had to call the Police on her once) or threatens to do harm to either herself or some of my belongings (tv, laptop, etc).
From my vantage point, she is just going to jump from one guy to another because nobody will be able to stand her and the kids would be in a much more stable environment if they were with me. I mean, if i break up with her, aside

QUESTION:
I just found this and wish I'd have known it a few years ago?
Sex Only Reason for Cohabiting
By Cheryl Wetzstein
"I didn't know how to be in a relationship and not have sex. That was how I kept men interested, how I kept them with me. It's why they liked me. Or at least that's what I thought."
This comment, from an unidentified 25-year-old woman, is both familiar and pathetic. She wants love, so she offers sex. He, not surprisingly, takes it but runs.
"While it's possible that a couple having sex before marriage will one day make a lifelong commitment, it is statistically more likely they won't," say Dr. Joe S. McIlhaney Jr. and Dr. Freda McKissic Bush.
"In fact, the likeliest outcome of premarital sex is simply more premarital sex," they write in their book, "Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children," which included the quote from the 25-year-old woman.
Cohabiting is growing in America, and young women should not kid themselves. It's all about the sex.
If a woman doubts this, she should suggest to Mr. Might-Be-Right that she is willing to move in with him if there are separate bedrooms and no sexual activity until marriage. She should not be surprised if he says that if there's no sex, there's no reason to move in with her.
In focus groups on cohabiting, women defend it as a way to study a potential mate and experience the relationship 24 hours a day. Cohabiting reveals personal habits — does he (ever) hang up his clothes? — moods, noises and smells, women say.
But whether guys say so or not, cohabiting to them is primarily a bedroom test. If a woman gets a passing grade there, she moves on to the nuisance test. If she's too moody, demanding, ditsy, picky, boring, weird or obnoxious, bags will be packed. After all, this is just a test drive. Good times, but see ya.
Some may think I am a little too glib here, so let me quote Francis Fukuyama, who wrote "The Great Disruption, Human Nature and the Reconstitution of Social Order," a 1999 book about the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s.
"One of the greatest frauds perpetuated during the Great Disruption was the notion that the sexual revolution was gender-neutral, benefiting women and men equally," he wrote. "In fact, the sexual revolution served the interests of men."
Birth control and abortion may have freed women from worrying about pregnancy, Mr. Fukuyama explained, but it also meant "men felt liberated" from social norms requiring them to take care of any woman they managed to impregnate. Men became less attached to women and children.
Virtually all men have benefited from this new sexual paradigm, Mr. Fukuyama added. Throughout history, only powerful, wealthy, high-status men enjoyed sexual access to many women — in fact, that was a major reason men wanted to be powerful, wealthy and high-status, he wrote. Now millions of women are giving ordinary men (i.e., men without power, wealth or high status) sexual access.
I find it inexplicable that women think cohabiting is in their best interests. How many times do we hear about a woman who has gone through life collecting boyfriends, house keys and bedroom experiences, only to end up at a sperm bank in her 30s because she (still) doesn't have a husband but can't live another day without a baby? And yet that is the fate for many female cohabiters. Single women, not married women, are using sperm banks in ever greater numbers, according to a recent article in the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender.
Divorce brings heartache to both men and women, and cohabiting has been portrayed as a way to avoid divorce. But here's another way to look at it: Divorce is like having your childhood home burn down because of an electrical fire in the furnace. Cohabiting is like coping with that tragedy by living without a furnace and using space heaters instead.
Marriage education can rescue us. In fact, as relationship-skills programs spread through U.S. schools, houses of worship and communities, men and women will see they can create satisfying, lasting, healthy love relationships.
When that happens, they can both get off the merry-go-round of cohabiting and kick the "divorce revolution" to the curb.

QUESTION:
What do you consider my political views?
I tend to think I am mostly Libertarian. But not sure.
- I think gay marriage should be LEAGL, although I feel gays have a right to be happy as well(Gay marriage can also boost a states economy), I am also not for a "gay-centric" society, I think we should accept them as regular people and lovers just like us, although not get "politically correct" about it.
- I 100% support the legalization of marijuana, another economy booster(every small boost helps).
- I think the drinking age should be lowered to 18, if you are old enough to fight a war, you are old enough to drink, IF you want.
- I support the repeal of gun bans in ALL 50 states, the constitution says everybody has the RIGHT to bear arms. I also feel the crime rate will drop(criminals will ALWAYS have guns, only NON-criminals can legally get a gun).
- I support the death penalty in ALL 50 states. If you take a life, you do not deserve to live among the rest. Also saves tax payers a bunch of money that we pay for dirtbags each year
- I think we should only fight wars that we drastically need(World War 1/World War 2) and I AM in favor of a military draft if man-power was needed in a World War 3 like event. Although I do agree with the War in Afghanistan, being a New Yorker, I knew way too many people who died young in those towers. Terror is something very real and something we need to put a cap on to prevent it from coming to us and another 9/11 EVER happening again.
- I feel there should be free-trade with EVERY country, there should be no "protection" on it. It should be open 100%. I also feel "travel bans" should be taken out of effect, especially the "limited" one with Cuba.
- I feel we should be able to cut in every organization, including the DOD, we spend about 100x as much as the 2nd country(China), a few billion will not hurt.
- I am for drug testing in the welfare and social security systems. If you test positive you should not be accepted for the government program for AT LEAST another 5-10 years and then if you REALLY REALLY need it, another drug test and if you pass it, random drug tests should applied.
- I am TOTALLY against the banning of any type of religion(Such as banning Christmas trees, slogans, etc). We need to respect everyones race, religion, gender, sexuality and creed. This is America.
- I think we should make gym at least twice a week, a requirement for every student from Pre K - High School. We should also induct them in mandatory health classes and focus on how to keep the body healthy. Vending machines should also be banned in schools. This will help America's obesity issue.
- I am 100% against illegal immigration and so-called "anchor babies", if the parents are deported the kids should be too. We have enough issues in this country then to worry about people who did not come here legally. I AM for building a "super-fence" on the Mexican-American border and I feel large amounts of National Guard troops from each border state should be guarding it along with the Border Patrol agents. I am also for "limited" legal immigration until the economy gets back into full swing, we already are jammed as a country, it is not helping to keep accepting more and more people, illegal or legal.
- I am 100% against Government run health-care, anything the government runs turns into a huge mess, it may work in other countries but it will not with our country. I am for "privatizing" health care, allowing consumers to purchase AND choose the company that fits them best.
- I also should be given courses in Religion in schools. Learning about religion is always good and expands the mind, not like a "Catholic" or Jewish school, but just a non-biased teacher teaching about the many different religions and beliefs in the world. It will allow children to choose what THEY want as they get older, not just what "science" or their parents tell them.
- The pledge should be mandatory in ALL schools(private or public) and said every morning.
- Affirmative Action should be illegal and never used again. I believe it PROMOTES racism, as the employed is looking at the persons skin color rather then the qualities about them. It's 2012 now, its about time we all moved on.
- I feel the same way about college scholarships, this needs to be MADE illegal as well. Scholarships should be given to people based on financial issues(regardless of race/religion) and how well they did in High School. One must EARN it.

QUESTION:
microeconomics... I don't understand the answers to these questions in the book...?
1. How is it that unplanned, “market” economics operate at all? What aspect of human behavior puts bread and meat on the shelves of groceries?
2. It is apparent that most of the time, goods are not wasted, or thrown away because no one wants to buy them. How is that approximately the “correct” amount of goods get produced in each market, and what mechanisms are there for correcting erroneous decisions about production levels?
3. Why is economics considered a science? What types of statements are to be avoided if the subject is to be scientific?
4. Is “scientific” the same thing as true?”
5. What is it that makes some proposition scientifically interesting and useful?
6. Can theories be “proven?” Explain what it means to have “confirmed” a theory, or theoretical explanation of some event.
7. Can propositions be “good in theory but lousy in practice?”
8. Make up some explanations of events, which seem to happen together, but for which neither event causes the other.
9. Make sure you understand the concept of positive and negative slopes. Explain the meaning of supply and demand curves and the meaning of the slopes of theses curves.
10. People in the Pacific Northwest consume more water per person than people in the southwest. Does this mean that north westerners like water more, or are in general thirstier than south westerners?
11. Distinguish “scarce” and “limited.”
12. “If only people learned to love other people more and to respect differences of opinions, we wouldn’t have to live in such a competitive, unpleasant world.” Do you agree? What is the fundamental reason what competition for goods exists?
13. “As a matter of public policy, the government should promote a more equitable distribution of income.” How would you define “equitable distribution of income? Is it capable of scientific determination?
14. What is the cost to you of going to college? Is it just the tuition, or is there something else involved?
15. In some countries, a test that can determine the sex of a fetus (amniocentesis) is being used to abort female fetuses. As a result, 60% or more of the babies born in some of these areas are male. What do you suppose will be the long-term effects of this on a traditional gender and marriage roles?
16. A survey once showed that 70% of married men are bald. Does this mean that marriage leads to baldness? What general principle does this illustrate about the problem of inferring causality from correlation?
17. Can a good be scarce for some people and not for others? If you think so give some examples.
19. What does free enterprise mean?
20. Some define economics as the study of the proposition, “there’s no such think as a free lunch.” Do you think this is a good definition?

do any of these sound like fun to you?

ANSWER:
I don't think the first one would be as big of a hit only because they are only bringing a gift and if anyone forgot change they would feel awkward and left out. The best bet would be to play the other 3 since you would already have the materials with you. Also you could play that last game with a twist. Like if you have a baby name already then take all the letters from first last and middle name and see who can come up with the most words.You could also have a notebook and any funny stories that the guests remember about you (that are appropriate) can be written down in the book and given to baby when it's older as sort of an idea of the funny things mom and dad had happen. It's not a game, but you could go around and reminisce and just get to having a good time.

What do you consider my political views?
I tend to think I am mostly Libertarian. But not sure.
- I think gay marriage should be LEAGL, although I feel gays have a right to be happy as well(Gay marriage can also boost a states economy), I am also not for a "gay-centric" society, I think we should accept them as regular people and lovers just like us, although not get "politically correct" about it.
- I 100% support the legalization of marijuana, another economy booster(every small boost helps).
- I think the drinking age should be lowered to 18, if you are old enough to fight a war, you are old enough to drink, IF you want.
- I support the repeal of gun bans in ALL 50 states, the constitution says everybody has the RIGHT to bear arms. I also feel the crime rate will drop(criminals will ALWAYS have guns, only NON-criminals can legally get a gun).
- I support the death penalty in ALL 50 states. If you take a life, you do not deserve to live among the rest. Also saves tax payers a bunch of money that we pay for dirtbags each year
- I think we should only fight wars that we drastically need(World War 1/World War 2) and I AM in favor of a military draft if man-power was needed in a World War 3 like event. Although I do agree with the War in Afghanistan, being a New Yorker, I knew way too many people who died young in those towers. Terror is something very real and something we need to put a cap on to prevent it from coming to us and another 9/11 EVER happening again.
- I feel there should be free-trade with EVERY country, there should be no "protection" on it. It should be open 100%. I also feel "travel bans" should be taken out of effect, especially the "limited" one with Cuba.
- I feel we should be able to cut in every organization, including the DOD, we spend about 100x as much as the 2nd country(China), a few billion will not hurt.
- I am for drug testing in the welfare and social security systems. If you test positive you should not be accepted for the government program for AT LEAST another 5-10 years and then if you REALLY REALLY need it, another drug test and if you pass it, random drug tests should applied.
- I am TOTALLY against the banning of any type of religion(Such as banning Christmas trees, slogans, etc). We need to respect everyones race, religion, gender, sexuality and creed. This is America.
- I think we should make gym at least twice a week, a requirement for every student from Pre K - High School. We should also induct them in mandatory health classes and focus on how to keep the body healthy. Vending machines should also be banned in schools. This will help America's obesity issue.
- I am 100% against illegal immigration and so-called "anchor babies", if the parents are deported the kids should be too. We have enough issues in this country then to worry about people who did not come here legally. I AM for building a "super-fence" on the Mexican-American border and I feel large amounts of National Guard troops from each border state should be guarding it along with the Border Patrol agents. I am also for "limited" legal immigration until the economy gets back into full swing, we already are jammed as a country, it is not helping to keep accepting more and more people, illegal or legal.
- I am 100% against Government run health-care, anything the government runs turns into a huge mess, it may work in other countries but it will not with our country. I am for "privatizing" health care, allowing consumers to purchase AND choose the company that fits them best.
- I also should be given courses in Religion in schools. Learning about religion is always good and expands the mind, not like a "Catholic" or Jewish school, but just a non-biased teacher teaching about the many different religions and beliefs in the world. It will allow children to choose what THEY want as they get older, not just what "science" or their parents tell them.
- The pledge should be mandatory in ALL schools(private or public) and said every morning.
- Affirmative Action should be illegal and never used again. I believe it PROMOTES racism, as the employed is looking at the persons skin color rather then the qualities about them. It's 2012 now, its about time we all moved on.
- I feel the same way about college scholarships, this needs to be MADE illegal as well. Scholarships should be given to people based on financial issues(regardless of race/religion) and how well they did in High School. One must EARN it.
