Hand Meat Grinder Knowledge Base

At what retail store(s) or restaurant suppliers around central NJ can I buy a good quality hand meat grinder? Hi guys, I've recently found the advantages of grinding your own meat, but I don't got the cash to go for something like a Hobart grinder, neither do I want those flimsy ones that cost around a hundred bucks. Therefore, I'd like to buy a hand grinder. However, I haven't been able to find any retail outlets where I can buy one. Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma don't have it, so I was wondering if anyone here knows if I can buy one at a retail store or even a restaurant supply place around central New Jersey. If you have any information, kindly share it with me. Thanks!

Converting a hand crank meat grinder to electric? I've got a smaller hand crank meat grinder. The kind that clamps onto a table, not the kind that bolts on. I also have a 1/3 HP electric motor from a dishwasher. It's label says it does 3450 rpms. I know that a small pulley wheel is needed on the shaft of the motor and a larger pulley wheel is needed on the grinder with a belt connecting the two. I just wondered what diameter wheels are needed for the best rpm's to operate the grinder. Also was wondering what would be the best surface to mount the two things. A piece of plywood, a 2 x 12, some 3/16 steel plate, or something else. The motor also has a black, yellow and white wire. I take it the black is hot and white is neutral.

Recommendations for a good meat grinder? Recently saw the Jamie Oliver special where he talked about how U.S ground meat now sometimes contains something called Pink Slime (leftover meat generally used for dog food and contains e coli etc is washed with Ammonia and then added to ground beef). It got me to thinking I'd rather grind my own hamburger but am not sure which meat grinder to get. I initially wanted to get a meat grinder attachment for my kitchenaid mixer but saw a few reviews of people saying they were getting metal shavings in the meat. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone else have any recommendations for a good meat grinder ( not interested to buy a super expensive professional grinder ). I am not opposed to the hand grinders if it isn't one that will rust. Thanks!!!

Looking for recommendations for a meat grinder? We raw feed our pets. Raw feeding requires grinding meat, including the bones... mostly chicken... occasionally turkey... no beef. And I'm getting REAL tired of our old-timey hand grinder. Two models we are considering are: 1. Deni Commercial Food Grinder model 3500 (1HP – 800 watts) 2. Sam Baere model SB-810 (1HP) Does anyone have any experience with either of these two grinders... Why you like (or dislike) it? Any other recommendations that won't break the bank in cost? Thanks for your advice. Mike: Our vet is the one that encouraged us to do this. Pets do fine with RAW bones. It's the cooked ones that cause problems. Our pets are all gorgeous and thriving on this diet. And when you look at the cost of high quality commercial food and are careful where you buy the meat (we shoot for about $1/pound), the cost is about the same.

Are all meat grinders, electric/hand operated, capable of grinding chicken bones? (leg)?

A LOT MORE I'm on a roll there are going to be more questions about favorites and why so hold on because this is my favorite topic of conversation!! will get to gadgets later.

Does an a/c motor need a capacitor? I'm trying to convert a hand crank meat grinder into an electric one. I know that the motor and grinder need to be connected by 2 pulleys and a wheel. The motor I have is a 1/3 HP and comes from a dishwasher. There is some kind of coil in the wiring before the current gets to the motor. Do I need this coil/capacitor for the motor to work or can I just splice the motor to an electric cord and add an on/off switch?

I Need to know where I can get a "manual" meat grinder in Cebu? Ok, guys help please...I know they must be here but for the life of me I can not find any. It is "manual" (hand operated) They are the kind you either fasten to the table or heavey enough you set it on the table...They have different size attachments for grinding meat, or vegatables and such...

Why should I bother living if I hate life? I always have, like would you want to put your hand in a meat grinder for 80 years just because it's all you can do? I am pretty much worthless, and I'll never find anyone who loves me, they don't exist. I'm just an outcrop of this planet, I should save the space for those who could actually enjoy it.

Hair Canada Nash is not a good all around player when half the game is spent on the other side? Derrick Rose is a very good basketball player who has the quickness laterally to play defense. Nash does not, therefore he sucks at D. Get off his d*** and stop commenting on how Rose is an idiot. He makes 100 times more money than you. I live in Phoenix now and you are so annoying with Nash. Basktball isnt played only on offense. Go get your hand stuck in a meat grinder.

I feel bad but I really got freaked out by your mangled hand!? I am a math instructor and one of the few that likes to meet all the math tutors. The other day I went to shake a new math tutors hand and as I was about to grab his hand I realized it was mangled and deformed. I was taken off guard and jumped a bit and said something like "argh". I realized that this was a birth defect and tried to pretend like I didn't just do that, but the guy looked a bit upset and kind of walked away looking disgruntled. Now I feel bad, but I don't know what to say to him. On one hand, I am always nice and have such a reputation of being tolerant and cool to everyone. On the other hand, why was he shaking hands with his messed up hand? It was like grabbing an exploded hot dog. Seriously, you can't expect people not to jump when they see a hand that looks like it went through a meat grinder. Any tips on how to handle this guy? One instructor said to just ask him about it and the other said to mangle the other hand. All good advice, but what the hell?

Food for Thought! A daily dose of history, Where did food Originate?..? 1890 George A. Bayle Junior, a St. Louis doctor and owner of a food products company, has developed peanut butter. The doctor had been looking for a nutritious protein substitute for his patients with bad teeth who can't chew meat and he had experimented by grinding peanuts in his hand-cranked meat grinder. Now he has mechanized the process and is selling peanut butter out of barrels for about 6 cents per pound. A young Pole, Marie Curie, joins her sister Bronia in Paris studying at the Sorbonne. As a student in Paris young Marie is so poor and absorbed in her studies that she finds herself fainting through lack of food. Often her meals consist of buttered bread and tea. The first cafeteria has been set up in the Y.W.C.A. in Kansas City, Montana. It provides cheap, sel-service meals to working women and is modeled on a Chicago luncheon club for women where some aspects of self-service are already in practice.

How can I split dry dog food kibbles in half without grinding them into dust? OK so I've got these kibbles, see? They're too big. They're round, and about twice the size of a pea. I need them at least half the size they are, but all attempts I've tried to break them down results in them being ground to dust. Now I could sit for hours with a butter knife and split each kibble, but I'd rather have an easier way to do it. I've tried a hand-cranked meat grinder and a food processor, and they didn't work.

Grenade Machinegun (Fallout: New Vegas): Because who doesn't want the ability to hurl volley after volley of high explosive grenades at anything that moves? 2. Pulse Rifle (Dead Space): Functional as a hand-held meat grinder, that gun would rip up anything you pointed it at. 3. .357 Magnum Revolver (Half Life 2/HL2 Ep:1/HL2 Ep:2) Near-perfect accuracy, one-hit headshots- the only thing holding this gun back is its slow rate of fire and small ammo pool

What does my dream mean? I had a dream last night that Adam Lambert got his hand stuck in a meat grinder and died. (I think it was at McDonald's). I didn't see it happen but it was really sad. I don't love or hate him.

Do we have grounds for a lawsuit involving an on-the-job accident with a defective piece of machinery? My husband was hurt on the job 2 days ago, which required emergency medical care and surgery. He came close to losing his entire hand in a meat grinder accident. The grinder was supposed to have a safety mechanism, where if you lifted the lid, the machine would cut off, but it was not working. I am guessing he will be receiving workman's comp. benefits, but is this safety malfunction grounds for a lawsuit? It looks like his hand will never be fully functional. I'm afraid his career as a meat cutter is over. He doesn't have any other trade that he can do and his age is a factor (58). I'm afraid that he will be unable to work sufficiently after this accident.

does anyone know this movie? watched it when i was maybe 9, so can't remember much. Was a horror/thriller about a teenage boy(he has longish dark hair) who was made to live in a basement, think he becomes a serial killer, the only thing that sticks in my mind is when he is in a kitchen he attacks the man there(think he's a butcher) and puts his hand in a meat grinder, then tries to eat his face. Its been haunting me for years! :P think the movie was made in the 80s,but i remembered he bites the guy in the neck first then grinds his hand, and im sure he sleeps in a box in the basement. Thanks for all the answers, but none of them are right

I'm OCD and I can't deal with my brother anymore.? I don't know what to do. He' visiting, and everything he touches, I have to sterilize. I have to wait until he leaves the room because mom told me not to be rude. I can't deal with him anymore, this feeling is worse than putting your hand through a meat grinder. I hate it. I'm so angry and frustrated with him and his nastiness being here that I can't stop crying, and my ears literally hurt. I can't go into my bedroom because we're redecorating it, and my brother keeps walking through every room. I don't know what to do, I can't deal with this anymore. I HATE my brother. I really do, he's so disgusting. I've locked myself in a closet but I know I can't stay in here forever. I shouldn't have to, I have a mental disorder. I don't know what to do at this point. I can't wait for him to leave tomorrow morning. I'm so agitated. What should I do? He also has no respect for my boundares. I'll give you one example: I was reading a book and he walked into the room. I told him to please leave, that I can't concentrate with other people in the room(AKA his loud obnoxious breathing). He said "No". I told him again, that I really want to read, and he says "Go read somewhere else". I also told him not to come in the game room while I'm sleeping, but he does all the time, and that's frustrating too. There are only three TVs in the house, my mom uses one, mine, and the one in my in-construction bedroom. He needs to find something else to do so I can sleep. He won't leave the game room! I'm really just tired, I really need to sleep.

Why doesn't anyone talk about the abuse employees have suffered at the hand of deregulation? In this latest financial crisis quite often the abuse of finances is what has taken center stage. Why doesn't anyone talk about how these corporations run their blue collar workers threw a meat grinder by under paying, over working and treating them down right abusively ? Do you know that large trucking corporations as a result of deregulation leading to poor pay and abuse of it's workers-drivers has 130 % turnover rate? And right now there is what is being refereed to as a driver shortage crisis ? These companies show earnings increases year after year giving dividend increases to their stock holders while at the same time not giving a dime pay increase for their workers loyalty or in many cases cutting their workers pay.. This is going on in most American corporations. Why is nothing ever said about it ? Now I am a pro business conservative and I am in no way suggesting that when a company make a penny it has to share half a penny with it's workers. But is this really fair ? Oh and funny enough the largest share holders of these corporations who usually benefit from these dividend increase I mentioned above are the executives sitting on the board of directors who voted for them in the first place. Is this fairness ? Quite often I can be found arguing against those who want minimum wage increased and are for unions. Are not some of these companies in the way they are treating their workers giving fuel to those in favor of these things? Think about it. If companies treated their workers in such a way.. There would be no argument. People would say " Unions? Min wage ? Are you crazy? " American companies treat their workers great ! " But unforunately that is not the case.... Thanks for your replies..

What do you think of this parody of "Take a Bow"? I made up this parody of Take a Bow by Rhianna. It's very funny. And it's called "Don't Have A Cow" _Don't Have A Cow_ How bout you stop annoying me to close death? aghaghagh! pain! pain! pain! pain! I hate you 'cause you are Tryin' to kill me! I chuck you to our own star! But a catapult cant be that free Don't go cry to me. _[Chorus]_ Don’t escape from torture cause it'll hurt yah! I'm gonna know I'll put your hands in a meat grinder! Tu ce scimio bruto Et retardissimo But now it’s time to go Time to go to hell When I put you on a spit-roast. Or knock you on a church bell. Cause you're done for now. God damn it don't have a cow. I'll shoot you and you're gone You got mad when I sprayed pepper-spray in your face. That is why I had to spike you with a mace. You were on the floor. But my eyes hurt more. [Chorus] I've tortured you enough. I have realised that you cannot resist. My torture and what I had done like this: I stabbed you to death. You took your last breath. [Chorus] Don't have a cow.

What movie is this? My cousin and I have been trying to figure it out for years? I've been trying to remember the title of a movie I saw 15+ years ago. I don't have a lot of details, but hopefully this will be enough. There are the bits I remember: A couple is driving to the home of the man's parents when they get into an accident. The son disappears and towards the end of the movie is rescued from a coffin. I think the son's dad wants to impregnate the son's girlfriend/wife. A doctor is tortured/killed by a butler using some hungry rats. Before this happens the butler is admiring one of the doctor's scalpels before telling him to get undressed. Towards the end of the movie there is a fire and someones face gets pressed up against a piece of hot metal (maybe a lamp?) and burned. The end of the movie could be that the whole thing was a dream. Also, someones hand may go through a meat grinder, but end up not being damaged in some sort of short dream sequence, but this may be a different movie. Kind of a random collection of points, and they may not all be accurate, but hopefully that's enough to spark someones memory. The movie may have the word "house" in the title, but I'm not sure about that either. It's not Pet Cemetery. Just to clarify, when I say "son" I mean the son of the guy who owns the house they're going to. The son is an adult, and the one driving the car when they get in an accident.

I hate this one chick at school and i want to shove my hand down her throat and chrush her trachea and then i want to dig down deep and grab her lungs and strangle them until she has no more oxygen then i want to rip the lungs out of her and blow them up with air and beat her to a pulp with her own lungs then i want to jam her lungs up her butthole and grind her body with a meat grinder thing.

GUYS! Is this really that funny? Why?!? I have really dry skin on my hands(I used to be a germaphobe in middle school,washed my hands way to much,and in those two years managed to pretty much ruin the skin on my hands and wrists..now they look/feel normal all summer and spring,but in the winter get dry again). Tonight at a Christmas party I was sitting with my younger brother (who is friends with my crush), who was sitting next to my crush, and my crush leaned around my bro from a couple chairs away and said to me, "what happened to your hands?" I was embarrassed.I try to moisturize my skin but its too late, "nothing." then my brother broke in with, "oh yes, somethin happened. You see, (crush's name), she got her hands stuck in a meat grinder.While making hamburger." THEY BOTH STARTED LAUGHING! AND I SMACKED MY BRO ON THE LEG AND WAS LIKE, "NOT FUNNY GUYS! NOT FUNNY AT ALL! And my crush was like, "that's okay, (my name), my mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby." and kept laughing. SO.....WHY WAS HE MAKING FUN OF ME? WAS HE NOT REALLY TRYING TO MAKE FUN? Even more interesting...WHY WAS HE LOOKING AT MY HANDS TO BEGIN WITH!?

Not a glare, but I glanced at him while we were putting the tree on the car and he just looked me in the eye with this look like…IDK. This guy is 17.He is also the same guy that commented when I darkened my hair one shade (even my own father didnt notice) "you did something to your hair,didnt u?". And has commented on a fav. pair of shoes of mine, "sparkley shoes, Cool."

Have you ever had a weird urge? Whenever I'm around something like a chainsaw or a meat grinder I always have an urge to stick my hand in it for some reason O_o

What is the origin of soda, pop, cola, etc.? Also, where did hoagie, sub, hero, grinder etc. come from? With the holiday coming up I thought it would be interesting to share the differences in our local lingo. What do you know about the differences and origins of the popular terms for carbonated beverages like soda and sandwiches on buns/bread? I know it depends on where you live but, why do you call it by a certain name? I had a weggie in Pittsburgh that was actually a folded pizza crust, stuffed with meat and cheese. BTW, if you don't want it heated you better ask for cold or they automatically put it in the oven - lettuce, tomato, mayo and all! And Primanti Brothers has their own crazy idea (http://www.primantibros.com/) and puts the slaw and fries right on the sandwich! I understand it helped the local workers eat with one hand - fast, efficent, and clean. Did you know why sliced pickles are rippled - for traction! A fast food chain came up with the idea which made the burgers easier to eat and not slide and was a great way to distrubute the pickles. Tell me what you know

Kitchen Aid mixer attachments? I have a kitchen aid mixer. The attachments i got with it are a meat slicer and a meat grinder.

What is with this cat? She's biting me? My gray cat will constantly try to get in my lap and if i'm busy I'll put back on the floor. Eventually she'll win through sheer persistence and I'll hold her in my lap for a while and pet her. When I stop petting her, she will growl and bite my hand. Hard. I'll start petting her again, but eventually my legs need stretching and I again stop petting, only to earn another bite. Why does she do this? My hand is starting to look like it went through a meat grinder with all the bites and scratches she gives me.

Second time around? I Need to know where I can get a "manual" meat grinder in Cebu? Ok, guys help please...I know they must be here but for the life of me I can not find any. It is "manual" (hand operated) They are the kind you either fasten to the table or heavey enough you set it on the table...They have different size attachments for grinding meat, or vegatables and such... I live on Cebu and only get to the city once a month and really don't have time to just look around to see who sales them...if you can I need to know exactly the store that sales them or at least "what kind of store" sales them. "co2" That is exactly what I am looking for....I did not think about taking a picture around with me, but since nobody seems to know what I am talking about maybe that is what I will do...Thanks...(you would think here they would be easy to find like the foot pedal sewing machine). "Coy" I heard that before but I was not sure it was the same thing...I will ask about a Tablea grinder. Thanks

Do I still have a chance..? with this girl who said to me she would like to see me dead and rip my heart out and run it through the meat grinder. she was yelling at me at the time and had a very long knife in her hand trying to plunge the knife into me. The last thing she said was that she hopes I burn and rot in hell . Do you think she likes me?

How to end an unhealthy relationship? I am in a relationship that can be best compared to an emotional meat grinder. I feel a little silly asking for advice here, but I feel as though relatives and friends are biased. I need to include a little background information, so bear with me. He and I met a little under a year ago. I am 19, he is 24. There was an immediate connection and incredible passion from both sides. He and I both had fiances in different countries whose visa applications were in the process. He lived with his fiance for 5 years, while my relationship was not as serious. Quickly, I broke things off with the guy overseas, only to find out a few days later about his fiance's visa being approved and her coming in 2 weeks. He was extremely regretful and justified it with "I promised her, and after all these years I can't just give up on her. It wouldn't be fair. I will probably send her back after a couple of months anyways." He broke things off three days before she flew over. I was completely destroyed, very immature of me considering the three months of being with him. Very slowly I started to see my friends and eat normally. Exactly two months after breaking things off, I get a text message at 4 in the morning asking to see me. I saw him and he told me that his fiance was lying to him and having an affair with her boss. He told me how much he wanted to call me and how he spent the night in my parking lot in hopes of seeing me get in my car. Everything seemed genuine and I couldn't wait to get back into having a relationship with him. I couldn't trust him for a while, but then I decided to stop and just forgive him. It's been seven months since, and our fights became more frequent and damaging. This relationship is an extremely new experience to me. I never let someone in so close and I feel like I am paying for it big time. Our fights usually start when one of us doesn't live up to the expectation of the other, or when things are taken out of context by him. Very simple things that presumably would be resolved between people who truly care about each other. We can't seem to solve them because we fight not about the spark of the problem, but by how we react to each other. He is used to being with a woman who sacrifices her emotions and pride for his, allowing him to feel in control even when he is absolutely wrong. I have never been like that and I feel like I am turning into that image. He is the kind of man that will guilt trip, accuse, and use sarcasm in a fight without ever for a second thinking about how much it hurts me. He can only stop until I am bawling my eyes out from feeling so cornered. Sometimes it seems as though he is trying to achieve exactly that. When I ask him to see things from my point of view and be considerate, he says ok, and answers with an accusation. For me, fighting is an extremely stressful and unnecessary task. I would rather sit down, figure out whats wrong and fix it. For him on the other hand fighting, mind you fighting that ends up with me in tears and him in rage, ain't a thing. He denies this, but to be honest, its obvious that while initiating an argument (the initiator is 95 percent of the time is him) he does not take into consideration the emotional implications it will bring. Its not so much the fact that there are little things to argue about that bother me and discourage me from continuing this relationship. Its his complete lack of consideration for my feelings and the need to be right at all costs when we fight. I sometimes stop and listen to his words, thinking to myself - "How did you ever end up with someone that makes you feel so low?" There is no proving anything to him. I broke up with him multiple times, but always came back after being guilt tripped and convinced by him that I am running away from the problem (while he, the good one, is trying to work it out) The problem is not something that can be worked out. Its his aggressive, controlling personality that keeps making me feel like I am mentally unstable. He demands to see me every day, which I was okay with until I realized that I lost literally all my friends. Now if I don't see him for a day because I want to hang out with old friends, he gets angry and suspicious of me. When we are not fighting, things are great, nothing short of perfect. One insignificant thing, like me not wanting to have sex in the morning will set him off and he will have no problem initiating an argument to prove how selfish it is of me. He stops at nothing until I hit complete hysteria and start doing physically self-destructive things. The jealousy and suspicion from his side has been ridiculous lately. I know I am not a perfect girlfriend. But to set off my temper and pride takes some real effort. I realized that I can't change his self-righteous attitude. With every fight I feel like I being pushed further and further into a corner. He is not a man I want to have a family with.

This guy won't leave me alone...? There's this one guy that won't leave me alone. I'm not going to lie, and say that I'm not being a little shallow, because I am. He's exactly what you picture when you think of your stereotypical nerd/geek and he's really not my type... well ok, a lot of people aren't my type but he's pretty low on the list of people I'd be attracted to. He came up to me the other day, told me his name and then proceeded to ask me if I like yugio cards. What? He follows me to class, and at one point it was at an uncomfortably close range... I told him to stop touching me unless he wanted to get his face put through a meat grinder. (All right, tell me what a horribly mean person I am, but the threat was necessary at the time, and also I'm just that kind of girl) He complied,and laughed nervously. A couple times when I've decided to skip school he'll run to try and catch up with me yelling for me to wait... do I wait? yes... yes I do. Because I can be nice. The other day when he finally caught up to where I was standing he just wanted to hand me an invitation to a video game convention, and then told me I have a nice name which was pretty amusing considering I never did give him my real name... I tell him that I think he's seriously delusional, and maybe a little blind considering him and his friends keep asking me to cosplay as their "goth alien chick"(who apparently wears a metal bikini, chain mail, with leather boots, and this spiked bondage collar...) because I'm 'beautiful'. I'll also point out a bunch of other girls he could pick on, and yet he still doesn't get it. They're all prettier? More social? Not as misanthropic? They're all people people and, I imagine have a lot more in common with this guy then I do. I feel a little bad that he's got this weird impression of me. I mean, it happens, I don't talk so people's impressions range from she's just really quiet and harmless to that she's mean, and psychopathic, and will kill them with my telekinetic mind powers. But really? It's a little sad that he thinks I'm someone that I'm seriously not... but also creepy. Very... creepy... I'm not going to lie to him, I'm going to tell him what I think. It's harsh, yes, but that's just me. Anyways what should I do?

Why do people say Rotten.com is the worst shock site when b0g.org's offensive section is worse? Okay, I'm not a wierdo or anything but I have seen these things, and haven't really though any of them were to bad but why do people say Rotten.com is the worst shock site? Like a persons hand that's gone through a meat grinder isn't that bad compared to someones head and upper torso going through.. Also, BestGore is worse than Rotten.com and b0g.org (If you wanna go to b0g it's a zero instead of an O).

Do you think we should start buying more crank up products? I'm at a point now where with climate change and reducing energy usage, manual, do-it-yourself cranking products are becoming attractive to me. I have no clue how I did not grow up with them in the first place! I'm talking products like manual crank-up coffee grinder, wind-up radio/cell phone charger, hand crank paper shredder, hand crank meat mixers, ice cream makers, etc. These things are great since they can be used anywhere, eco-friendly and it's cheap/affordable. Anybody else out there a big fan of anything hand crank or want to add something to the list of products?

My suicidal brother.. URGENT help.? My brother is 14. He has been really depressed for the last year, he has also been cutting, burning, stabbing himself. At first we thought it was just an attention thing and now it is getting worse. Every time he cuts himself and goes to the hospital my father has taken him to an mental heath center. The issue is that my dad is living on very low income and his insurance doesn't cover more than a few days at the center. So my brother goes for about a week and he comes home and he's good for a few days and he goes back to cutting. The last few times he has cut he had to have stitches, My dad just recently called me and told me that he cut himself twice and split his arm open. We have been constantly searching for some type of free/good help that will actually work. We have tried getting to the root of the problem but once we do my brother just makes up another problem for his excuse to cut. So as far as relating and being there for him is hasn't changed him at all. Also he has been making things up. He made up that he had a girl friend that died, and now he really believes it. He stays up all night crying, writing poems, and cutting about it. His arms/legs/hands look like he put it through a meat grinder. My dad is a single parent of four and I live on my own with my husband so I am trying to do whatever I can to help. I cannot help much financially but I really wish there was something I can do to save my brother.. I've looked into wilderness camps/ boys clubs/ etc. But they all cost money and my father is living paycheck to paycheck right now. Can anyone offer any assistance?! Please.

I am experiencing a lot of sexual frustration, help? Alright, well I am 16 and so is my girlfriend and she is my first relationship and I am her first relationship. We have been dating four months, almost five. However, I have had many sexual partners before her, and I am her first sexual partner as well, anyways; I am really becoming sexually frustrated, because 90% of the time I come onto her, she pushes me off, and the other 10% she doesn't push me off, she only really gets into it about .05% of the time. I mean just making out and stuff, and we haven't done anything past that. Also, she really only feels comfortable doing things with me around her best friend (Actually, she really doesn't like to be with me if other people aren't there) She will get sexual with me if her best friend isn't looking (Hands in pants and stuff) then if her best friend looks she will taking her hand(s) out immediately, and she is a really big tease and I spend a lot of energy trying to do stuff with her and it is almost always in vain. It is really starting to piss me off, she is a huge tease too so that is even worse, actually she has teased me so bad I've gotten blue balls a few times. Also she will say really contradictory, borderline retarded, condescending oxy moronic things such as: "I want to have sex, but I won't because I am not married." "I would have sex with you, but I am not into that, but totally know I would if I was!" Stupid things like that, and I never ever have brought up the conversation of sex with her, ever! No pressure at all. She will ask things such as "What if I wanted to have sex with you, what would you do?" Etc. Tonight, I was knecking with her and I tried to move a little further down into her shirt with her mouth and she jumped a full foot, stared at me like "WTF?" then smacked me almost hard enough to leave a mark, but not quite. It is really getting to me, because sometimes she wants me all over her, and other days my nuts are grinder meat if I even try to go past giving her a little kiss. Pulling me back and forth and what not. What should I do? I am so sexually frustrated, I am about to go pick up a freakin' playboy and whack it till I am shooting blanks! HELP!

the most disgusting dream i've ever had? why would a little girl dream about this!? so im going to describe my dream, as much as i can remember, and i was wondering why/what would cause me to have such a disgusting dream? i woke up crying and couldnt go back to sleep! it started as a skyline view of NYC...the sky was bright orange because it was sunset, and the buildings were all in shadows. helicopters were in the sky and guys in bulletproof vests were on ladders with guns and stuff patrolling the sky. then it showed a building with a gaping hole in the side where my family and some others were hiding. im going to call them cops, becuase they were dressed in somehwat of a SWAT team uniform. the cops dropped in and i can't exactly remember what happened, but we were all in prison next. it was me. my mom, my dad, my two sisters (one is a toddler) a woman, and a very old man. a cop came up and told us that he would let us go if we would like tear the old guys beard out or something silly. we started, but he was in so much pain that he started crying and we couldn't do it. we ended up in like this factory type building with 100s of people in rags standing in lines in front of machines. cops were standing by as the lines were moving forward. i looked in front of our line, and the machines were sorta like meat grinders, and it was disgusting. the 1st person in line was being pushed in the killing machines as the people behind him were crying and screaming. the line kept moving as people were being murdered, as my family and I were all walking ahead and hugging eachother. one by one my family members were pushed in as we were all crying. even the toddler. we all held hands as one by one went through, and i looked every single one of them in the eyes, and it looked so horrifically real. finally i went through the giant gears that would tear me to pieces and i woke up. this was when i was very young, about 11. there is no reason for me being the age I was to have such a dream, but it truly has haunted me my whole life. i probably had never even heard of the holocaust yet. can anyone try to figure out this madness? you know what captain planet, not that i think about it this is about the age when my parents were getting a divorce. *now oops typo lol ando, like the psycho chick in knowing? i hope the world doesn't end like that!

homemade baby food questions....? How long can i keep pureed food in the fridge for? is it 2 or 3 days? I used to make it all ahead of time and freeze it, well now she is older and just eating "table food" so i just use the babyfood grinder at dinner to grind up what we eat. but for lunches i still like to puree up some veggies or fruits but freezing them in the ice trays is getting annoying now cause she is taking more of them, so i just wanna make a little at a time for a few days and keep it in fridge, but for how long? ALSO, how often do you feed your baby meats? My daughter is 8 months now and i know she is needing to eat meat but how much and how often, and also what do you make for your baby? I've pureed chicken for her before but what else is good? I hate using the commercial baby foods, like gerber unless I have too, i do keep 4-5 of them on hand incase i need them. but can i carry some food i made from home with me in the diaper bag, in like a little cooler if i am at a mexican rest. or fast food?

Why does my friend lie so much? Sorry for so much info. Thank you so much if you read all and answer. Ok my friend Patrick will lie about stuff that can't even happen. He is 17 and dropped out of high school when he was 16 and has no job. He is 5 foot six inches, skinny and can't even bench 60 pounds and weighs 133 pounds. He says that everyone is scared of him and claims he can beat my brother up with one hand which is 6 foot 5 inches and weighs 300 pounds and can bench 250 pounds. He says he can get any girl and all the smokin hot girls like him and yet every girl friend he's had looked like they stuck their face in a grinder. He says he is going to get a job making $120,000 a year which drop outs usually don't even make $35,000 a year. He seems to believe his own lies like he is telling the truth. My brother gave him $50 one time and he promised to pay him back but never gave him a penny but that was when he had no job but then he got a job and had the money to pay it but he never did and said he had bills or something (which he lives with his parents and pays nothing) I really don't get this dude and I am a good friend to him. Below are a few of the many lies he has said. Lie1: When I got my permeant and I got all 20 questions right and he said he had 50 questions and got them all right, which is impossible cause there has always been 20 and I asked to see his permeant and he said he lost it in his other wallet. Lie2: Im 6 foot 7 inches and weigh 163 pounds. One time when he spent the night I wanted to show him how much I could eat and ate 5 big plates of spaghetti with meat in it and later that night he said him and his friend one time ate 50 pizzas exactly and I said "they must of been really small" and he said "no they were 3 times bigger than average size". I looked up the world record for most pizzas ate a week later and it said someone ate 34 average size pizzas. Lie3: When I graduated high school my mom and dad got me a really nice car (mitsubishi eclipse) and a couple months later he shows me pictures of the car he's getting in 2 months (which he never got) which costs over $50,000. He acts like my car sucks. Lie3: He says he is getting a job as a waitress at pizza hut making $800 a day ($292,000 a year) in tips. He says his friend makes $500 a day ($182,000 a year) in tips. Even if that was true he is still too stupid to know you pay taxes on that. Im going to a technical school to be a computer engineer and make at least $200,000 a year so maybe he wants to say he can make more but theirs a difference between saying and having. Lie4: He became a father with his girl friend kasey when he was 16 and now he's broke up with her and she has the baby I said when he turns 18 he will have to pay child support and he says that she won't go at him with child support. (The government will) Now he is saying that the baby is not his. Lie5: Most of the things I say about how good I did on something he will say within a week or two that he just did better than me. But he never proves it. I don't understand why he has to lie so much. I can't have conversation without him lying. I can tell every lie he says cause usually he exaggerates it to extreme levels that's impossible to beat. It's really starting to get annoying. I think he has mental disorders or in other words he's retarded, considering he dropped out of school cause it was too hard for him. I thought my school was easy (I get strait A's) but my school moved him to an easy school cause he was failing where the teachers would let you pass pretty much and you can be absent for two weeks at a time but that was still too hard for him. I got lot's of other friends (about 23 and are really awesome) from high school I hang out with and 24 others i could hang out with but I try to keep all my friends from knowing Patrick. In fact he thinks I have very little friends. The less he comes over the more I hang out with them.

Does an a/c motor need a capacitor? I'm trying to convert a hand crank meat grinder into an electric one. I know that the motor and grinder need to be connected by 2 pulleys and a wheel. The motor I have is 1/3 HP, 3450 rpms and comes from a dishwasher. There is some kind of coil in the wiring before the current gets to the motor. Do I need this coil/capacitor for the motor to work or can I just splice the motor to an electric cord and add an on/off switch? I just want to make an electric meat grinder and want to know how to properly make the motor turn.

GUYS! Is this really that funny?! Why? I have really dry skin on my hands.Last night at a Christmas party I was sitting w/ my younger brother (who is friends with my crush), who was sitting next to my crush, and my crush leaned around my bro from a couple chairs away and said to me, "what happened to your hands?" I was embarrassed, "nothing." then my bro said, “oh yes, somethin happened. You see,she got her hands stuck in a meat grinder, making hamburger." THEY BOTH STARTED LAUGHING!AND I SMACKED MY BRO ON THE LEG, "NOT FUNNY!NOT FUNNY AT ALL!” And my crush was like, "that's okay, (my name), my mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby." and kept laughing. SO...WHY WAS HE MAKING FUN OF ME?WHY WAS HE LOOKING AT MY HANDS TO BEGIN WITH!? I saw him again today (his family went Christmas tree cutting w/ mine.) but he didn’t say anything 2 me.but I glanced at him while we were putting the tree on the car and he just He gave me this look, Not a glare, just a look I can’t describe. Keep in mind that this guy is 17, and he is the same guy that noticed and commented when I darkened my hair a shade (even my own dad didn't notice) "you did something to your hair, didn't you?" and has commented on one of my favorite pairs of shoes "oh, sparkley shoes! Cool! I like them!"

I think that African Americans inspired white musicians in a good way. Inspiring is a great thing, you see its not just black or white culture. There is no such thing as black or white culture, our culture is pure American. In my eyes we are all one race of human, no matter the skin color we are all homo sapiens scientifically. Homo meaning the same, so don't look at it as one color stealing from another. Look at it as the Human race inspiring each other.

See how this goes? Early rock and roll done by whites was equal parts blues influenced rock (black influence) and hillbilly music. Hence the term rock-a-billy. Like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and the like. Who was Nat King Cole immitating? Sammy Davis? Notice a pattern here? America is nothing but a cultural meat grinder and what gets fed out the other side is dependent on what gets fed into the damn thing.

I understand that there are many different people in USA such as country folk that live in the country...is that culture? Small differences in my opinion. I see culture as bigger differences such as American and German. Therefore, white people do have a culture. We're American and if you compare us to British or Germans or Mexicans we'd have the American culture.

I think what the problem is here is that you're not seeing your own people as Americans, which you most assuredly are. Remember that Europeans created Western classical music, upon which all the American musical notation is based. There are other classical systems worldwide, but the European one is the most widely used. 4 hours ago Choose as Best Answer 1 Rating: Good Answer 1 Rating: Bad Answer Report Abuse by U w Member since: July 21, 2008 Total points: 382 (Level 2) Add to My Contacts Block User Once an artist of any ilk completes a project (be it painting, architecture, sculpture, music or anything else) they release it into the world. People are free to appreciate it, criticize it, ignore it and not understand it. I’d guess from your tone that you feel people of other races appreciating what you do somehow invalidates it as an expression of what you suppose to be your own culture. Beauty is beauty. Just as ugly is ugly. If people didn’t or couldn’t appreciate art from other geographic “races” then there’d be a real problem. As to the question of racial culture there simply is no such thing. The natural forces that bred some groups to have red hair others black, some groups lighter and others darker is much wider than the forces that create cultures. Meaning that from one side of a given country to the other there are differing cultural mannerisms customs and speech patterns. Social class (rich, poor, middle-class) also carries cultural differences with it. In the states people who’ve lived in the same geographical area and who share the same social class are going to have a lot more in common than they would have differences with people of their ancestral homelands. 4 hours ago Choose as Best Answer 2 Rating: Good Answer 0 Rating: Bad Answer Report Abuse by Matthew P Member since: February 21, 2008 Total points: 4250 (Level 4) Badge Image: Contributing In: Boxing Add to My Contacts Block User Because its good...pretty much all music today has its roots in music created by Africans and Black Americans...even techno.

See how ridicolous this is? It's a pointless pointing the finger game. As for rock, rap & hip hop which are traditional music styles which started with perhaps heavy African-American influence. It's not really stealing, as much as appropriating is it? They took something they saw and added their own flavor to it. But if your miffed. Why don't you go and steal some traditional white people music. Such as country, techno, electronic, metal, heavy metal, classical, opera, etc...? I would say it is very extreme to say that "white people" have no culture. First off you will find no white person who will admit to a "white culture." The thing is. Most white people are not cultural bastards the way most black people are. We know our ancestry. Hence we are for example proud of our English, Irish or perhaps German ancestry. There is no such thing as a congruent sticking together on basis of race. Except perhaps in the US. If you go to a German and to an Englishmen in Europe and tell them they should both have the same culture and be bestest buddies since their both white. You'll get beaten up badly by both of them. Racial pride is almost non-existant in Europe. There it is a matter of national pride. And to think of what the culture of various European nations has brought us: Operas in big performing halls (the basis of all soap dramas on TV to come) Classical music (Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Strauss, etc..) Pianos, violins, etc.. Precise architecture. Paved streets. Cars. Planes. Motorized boats. Electricity. Television. Radio. Internet. Computers. Cameras. Video recorders. On and on. Yep what did whitey give us civilization in terms of culture? Absolutely nothing of course.......the world would have been absolutely the same if there would have been no white people on this world..... But don't take such an America centric attitude. You should never go to Europe and call someone there white. Call them Austrian, Swedish, English or whatever. Since all your asking is for a beatdown for insulting them by somehow stating to them their race is more important than their nationality. 42 minutes ago Choose as Best Answer 0 Rating: Good Answer 0 Rating: Bad Answer Report Abuse

I would like your opinion on this story I wrote.? I wanted your opinion on this story that i wrote. It is barely begun, and i still ahve alot more typing to go. Any suggestions for plots, grammar, or anything of this that sort is welcome. Here it is! Enjoy! Matthew Hershel The Red Sun The early morning light showed upon my head. It was barely 6:00am. The bird had not begun to chirp yet. The sky outside was a dark blue. The other men in my barracks were fast asleep. I was part of the 101st airborne. I was in the mighty Dog company. I had been in training to become an officer. Perhaps I might one day get the chance to command this company. I am sure I would make my family very proud. I also thought this morning would be unlike the others. I was to be proven very wrong. Our Drill Sergeant, Lieutenant Oliver cam bursting through the door. “wake up you maggots!” he screamed. “You are to go directly to the parade field as soon as possible!” Everyone groggily got out of bed. Basic training was tough, and six hours of sleep was not enough. This clearly displeased him greatly. He shoved one of the inmates off of the bunk. “Get up or you’ll do a night run up Curahee!” Why we were assembling at the parade field was beyond any of our thoughts. Lt. Wilkes a good friend of mine, got out of his bunk and sat down on mine. “C’mon Hershel, get up or he’ll put you into a meat grinder.” I slowly looked up and smiled. “He would do something like that.” I got up from my bunk. I was surprised to find that everyone else had already gotten dressed and was leaving. I hurried up and followed them out. All around the camp, the regiment was lining up on the field. They had the same look that I think was on my face. They all had exhaustion written on their faces. I also saw worry. We had all been assembled only twice before. I did not know why we were being assembled, but I knew it could not be good. Our company commander, Captain Truman lined us up. He was the complete opposite of Lt. Wilkes. He was young, short and muscular. He was kind and almost never got angry. I would do anything for him. Everyone looked to him almost like a father. I quickly lined up with the rest of my platoon. We weren’t wearing anything but our dress uniform, and the December cold was beginning to get to us. My teeth and body began to shake. I was shaking so much it was difficult to stand at attention. I saw a Colonel approach the front of the field. There was no pledge or salute to the flag. This was very un-traditional not to mention disrespectful. I now knew for certain that something was wrong. The other men took notice and began to whisper quietly. The Colonel began to speak. “Men, I know you are wondering why we have done things a little differently today.” We have received word that the Japanese have bombed the Navy base stationed in Hawaii. We are currently at a state of war with Japan.” All the whispering that had gone on before suddenly stopped. All had gone quiet. The birds could be clearly heard chirping in the trees. We could hear the American flag flapping in the breeze. I myself had a blank impression in my head. War? We knew Japan and the United States had been having issues, but we never expected something like this. I felt my stomach begin to hurt. My throat hurt as it felt blocked up. My brother Brian was stationed at Pearl Harbor was he going to be okay? We were dispatched back to our barracks to get freshened up. It was oddly quiet. I had expected for there to be a buzz of questions going on. I guess none of us had expected something like this to happen We had all seen the newsreels of the Germans taking France and the rest of Europe. We knew the U.S. and Japan were not on good terms. Perhaps we felt that we were safe. We were thousands of miles from the fighting, and it did not affect us one bit. Maybe we were surprised for some other reason. We did not want to get into another Great War. My father had lost his arm and was basically a raving lunatic when he returned home from the war. I had seen how he would shutter in fear when he saw anything that resembled a gun. We lived in the country, so there was a lot of barbed wire fences around the area. Anytime he would see one he would completely lose. He would either cry, or begin cussing at the Germans that weren’t even there. The other men around me had possibly seen the same thing happen to their fathers. Maybe we didn’t believe us going to war was a possibility simply because it was not what we wanted. Truman and me walked together over to the dining hall. Our conversation was obviously directed towards what had happened earlier. Another officer, 2nd Lt. Coolidge came over, He was this and short. He had recently volunteered and was put in my company. He was very reserved and did not talk much, but once he did start talking, it was very hard to get him to shut the hell up. “How are you doing today, buddy?” I asked him. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. I gave him a look of wonder. He handed me an

What are some good assets to trade for Fiat US Dollars? The G20 and APR15 riots are an eye opener. Especially after watching ZEITGEIST, MONEY MASTERS and MONEY AS DEBT. I mean, who I am going to trust? Mr. Obama or Mr. Schiff? Its pretty obvious to me that politicians have lied to us for so many years and that they are still lying to us now. It doesn't take a rocket scientest to figure out more and more people each day are going to wake up to the truth of the US dollar and these protests are going to get higher and higher. The APR15 riots were nothing probably compared to what is coming. Gerald Celente has a great track record and I have decided it is best to listen to this guy for the track record Ben Bernanke has is awful. Now that I realize this, the question is what are some good assets to buy for use and trade in a greater depression that can protect against the dollar collapse that is not on this list?
