Tampon question?

i am on my period and i have never wore a tampon before. i have always wore a pad but i am starting the cheer team tomorrow and i want to be abel to wear a tampon by then so today i went to put a tampon in and i put it in where i though it went and pushed it up and it hurt a little bit so i took it out because i didn't know if i had it in right. so i just barely tried again and i think i did it right again but i can still feel that it is there and everyone says you shouldn't feel it and it still hurts a little and is kind of uncomfortable so everyone said that you have to push it in farther so i did and the same thing is happening. what am i doing wrong? is this how its supposed to be???

I have a question about Oak Trees on Real Estate...?

And you actually believed that idiot?! Oak wont harm the house for at least a hundred or more years unless the roots are within a few feet of the foundation. Oak are beautiful stately trees and your parents are right to want them. leave the trees, or just dont buy the house. Some one else will buy it and treat them the way they should be treated, and they will get decades of great shade from them

Is this stupid or what?

...I think your friend just ruined my childhood memories. I LOVED Ed, Edd, and Eddy but now... God, that was terrible. And that part about the green thumb and then 'a beast at my desire inside out you'll find the fire', what does that even mean? Your friend seems to have an unhealthy obsession with thumbs too, by the way.

Will an insurance company pay more than the policy limits?

My daughter and I were injured in a motorcycle accident a few months ago. (I was NOT at fault). The at fault driver ran a stop sign and was cited by the police. The insurance limits he has is a 50/100/50. My daughters medical bills were about $5000, property damage is about $3000, but my medical bills are about $75000.00... I am seriously injured. Since his limit is $50k per person I'm not sure who is going to pay the difference of the medical bills not to mention pain, suffering, lost wages, etc. My medical insurance is paying the bills but they want to be reimbursed. My auto insurance is not going to pay because I made a stupid decision to drive an uninsured motorcycle. Will the at fault driver's insurance company pay more? I know I could sue, but you can't get blood from a turnip...If I were to sue, what would be something reasonable to ask for and expect to get? We live in Tennessee. Any advice would be appreciated.

Are these the words of a peaceful religion addressed to Muslims living among us right now?

A long time ago the Muslims were attacking Austria. Their king told them to beware lest they awaken the great dragon of the north. He was referring to the monster he considered the Christian world. Seems the Muslims are at it again. They want this monster to rear up and strike and it will but in its own time. It has been woken and is not still about it. But it has its own mind and it will do what it has to survive. What the Christian monster wants is to be respected and to be left alone. It will acheive that but all in its own time. If this has to be God's war so be it, let it be. Let no rationality rule the day and let the dogs of war go at it. Nobody is going to be happy with the outcome and all of us will be begging God to forgive us and let us live together in peace.
