Q&A: What are the lyrics to this line of a KT Tunstall song?

By on Sunday, January 29th, 2012 | No Comments

Question by imsiedaisy: What are the lyrics to this line of a KT Tunstall song?
In her song ‘Hopeless’ off the Drastic Fantastic album, she says something at the end of the chorus that I can’t quite understand! The line goes – “Hopeless, clinging to a feeling like a fish on a line ???”

I’ve looked at lyrics websites and they all say different things! One said something about ‘sublime’ and another said ‘so blinded by the lately”. But when I listen, it sounds different! Is this correct and it’s her accent or is it something else?

Best answer:

Answer by cherry r
Hopeless
Everybody says its just another decay of the soul
But I know I’m hopeless, thought about anything to take me
Away from this hole in the ground
I found it’s hopeless clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line, so blinded by the lately
Hopeless, no more saying that there’s no more time.

I’ve was trying far too hard
To be what I thought I should be
I was playing wild cards and
Seeing things that weren’t in front of me
Like a little tiger, played far too long,
Until I was hurting myself, again and again

Because I’m hopeless.
Everybody says its just another decay of the soul
But I know I’m hopeless, thought about anything to take me
Away from this hole in the ground
I found it’s hopeless clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line, so blinded by the lately
Hopeless, no more saying that there’s no more time.
That there’s no more time.

Well I’m just discovering I’m living in a different body
Caught a little insight into everything thats happening to me
Like a little spider, I’m climbing the insurmountable
But I’ll never hold myself accountable, no.

‘Cause I’m hopeless.
Everybody says I’m hopeless
But I got a bit of hopelessness
Oh and you can never bring me down
Even though I’ve got some silent ground
Oh because I love it so
And I think you should know

Because I’m hopeless.
Everybody says its just another decay of the soul
But I know I’m hopeless, thought about anything to take me
Away from this hole in the ground
I found it’s hopeless clinging to a feeling
Like a fish on a line, so blinded by the lately
Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless
No more saying that there’s no more time.

What can I expect for recovery for ACL surgery for a dog?

By on Saturday, January 28th, 2012 | 2 Comments

Question by mary_beth_blum: What can I expect for recovery for ACL surgery for a dog?
My dog had ACL repair surgery today (not the TPLO, the one with the “fish line”.) She’s a 90 lb. lab. She seems very uncomfortable/whining, her injured leg is shaking, and she is having trouble getting up herself…she needs a boost from the hind end to stand. Is this normal immediately following surgery, and when will “the worst” be behind us?

Best answer:

Answer by timmy44221
I am not sure about that surgery specifically, but my dog was hit by a car and shattered half its right hip.

They cleaned it up and after a few months he was doing well, and within a year, most people could not tell he was injured. However in old age, he now requires pain meds and is not a strong as before.

Q&A: 50lb Braided line? Too Excessive?

By on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 | 6 Comments

Question by loserr: 50lb Braided line? Too Excessive?
i was thinking of ordering a 50lb spool of braided line, is this excessive. i usually fish for bass and catfish, and recently i have seen a few catfish jump out of the water at the local pond who’s heads were at least a foot and a half across. and with 20 LB line i would hate to hook it and have it get off. Also i was wondering which brand of braided line is the best to use at 50lb. Its between “PowerPro Braided Spectra Fiber Micro Filament Line”, “SpiderWire Stealth Braided Fishing Line”, or “Berkley FireLine Braid Fishing Line”

Best answer:

Answer by Backwater Charlie
I don’t think you would need 50 lb. line for that fishing area, but I don’t think it would necessarily too heavy. But think, just set your drag and the fish won’t break your line. Don’t set it too light, or you’ll risk stripping out your gears, and don’t set it too tight because a fish larger than that 20 lb will break your 20 lb. line. It’s all in how you play your fish. I’m pretty sure that 20 lb. Berkley Big Game mono-filament should work. But do as you please and use the 50 lb. braid …

Some bass fisherman use 65-lb. and 80-lb. braid for top-water frogs …

What is the imagery in “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop poem below?

By on Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 | No Comments

Question by blank: What is the imagery in “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop poem below?
Please help:
I caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
He didn’t fight.
He hadn’t fought at all.
He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips
like ancient wallpaper,
and its pattern of darker brown
was like wallpaper:
shapes like full-blown roses
stained and lost through age.
He was speckled and barnacles,
fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
–the frightening gills,
fresh and crisp with blood,
that can cut so badly–
I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,
the dramatic reds and blacks
of his shiny entrails,
and the pink swim-bladder
like a big peony.
I looked into his eyes
which were far larger than mine
but shallower, and yellowed,
the irises backed and packed
with tarnished tinfoil
seen through the lenses
of old scratched isinglass.
They shifted a little, but not
to return my stare.
–It was more like the tipping
of an object toward the light.
I admired his sullen face,
the mechanism of his jaw,
and then I saw
that from his lower lip
–if you could call it a lip
grim, wet, and weaponlike,
hung five old pieces of fish-line,
or four and a wire leader
with the swivel still attached,
with all their five big hooks
grown firmly in his mouth.
A green line, frayed at the end
where he broke it, two heavier lines,
and a fine black thread
still crimped from the strain and snap
when it broke and he got away.
Like medals with their ribbons
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
trailing from his aching jaw.
I stared and stared
and victory filled up
the little rented boat,
from the pool of bilge
where oil had spread a rainbow
around the rusted engine
to the bailer rusted orange,
the sun-cracked thwarts,
the oarlocks on their strings,
the gunnels–until everything
was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow!
And I let the fish go.
Can you explain?

Chinese Fishing Nets

Here you can see three of the many nets suspended out of the water. All the kelp you can see in the foreground is the reason why it’s not fishing season – it chokes up the water leaving the fishermen only really operating the nets for the tourists.

Gloucester Buoys

While in Boston I visited Gloucester which is by the Sea and came across these worn-out but colorful buoys taking a break before the fishing season starts again. Day 86. March 27, 2010.

is there any personification in this poem? if so where and what words?

Best answer:

Answer by libby l
The fish is vaguely personified in that he wears the medals of victory in battle and he sports a five haired beard of wisdom.

“He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely.” Here the fish is again described in the terms one would use for an old man.

Q&A: Advice on how to deal w/fiance while living w/future in-laws?

By on Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | 3 Comments

Question by : Advice on how to deal w/fiance while living w/future in-laws?
My fiance & me are living w/his parents while we save up for a house. His parents are nice people, but definately having trouble letting go of their little boy. For the most part its not so bad except for when his mom intervenes in our lives by speaking to him privately about what we should do with our money, even when she knows it’s directly in conflict w/a decision we’ve made mutually. Worst part is, he genuinely belives his parents always know what’s best, so after we’ve made a mutual financial decision, he’ll change things w/out telling me b/c his mom told him we should do something else. And when I tell him i’m upset about his mom intervening (behind my back especially), he says “they’re just trying to help”. Any Advice on this issue?

Also, he recently started a new job & is gone 12 hrs a day for 5 days a week, and 6 hours a day on saturdays. I hardly talk to him b/c he mostly only sleeps & works (which I COMPLETELY understand). Of course it sucks not having our own space, but it’s a sacrafice i can withstand for the end result. However, this weekend I REALLY felt like I needed to get away with him. Just do something with JUST him & me. I made a couple of suggestions….the beach- he said it was too much money right now (its a few hrs away+hotel), i understood…. the lake- he said “what are we going to do at the lake?!” And I said “fish, swim” He said “we don’t have any fishing poles!” so I said we could drive to our friends house & borrow theirs. He said “I don’t want to drive to Friends house AND THEN have to drive all the way to the lake (40 min drive to lake). I was upset by him not being willing to do anything, so I just went driving around by myself, b/c I HAD to get out of the house.

When I got back I cooked super, and he was watching a movie w/his dad. He asked his dad “Dad, have you seen I am Legend yet?” and his dad said no. So he’s like “Ooooh! If I go rent it will you watch it w/me?!?!” (In a very exited tone). His dad said no, he had to go to bed soon. I then told him “besides, I want you to take me out tonight. Dancing, a bar, just out!” And he was like “No…I don’t want to go out, we don’t have the money” But it’s only a couple of bucks and we CAN afford to spend a few bucks to pay a $ 5 cover to go dancing. I told him that and he just said “I just don’t want to go & SIT there with you for an hour.”

He totally blew me off. I’m really hurt, and just feel like we need just a LITTLE time alone. Any time we spend “together” is with his parents & that’s always them visiting with him. When he gets home from work he goes & sits & visits with his parents until he goes to sleep, and doesn’t spend ANY time just visiting with me. I’m becoming jealous of the time he’s spending with his parents, b/c I feel like he’s focusing all of his time visiting with them & I’m just here in the house alone. I’m glad that he has a healthy realationship w/his parents, but it’s really begining to come between us. I tried to tell him about this tonight & he just blew up & said “I guess I just shouldn’t talk to my parents at all & I should just kiss you a$ & all day long!” And ended the conversation there. How can I make him understand how I feel???

(BTW, we’ve been together for 5&1/2 yrs, living together for 4 yrs, sharing bank accounts, thus financial decisions for 3 years, and living with his parents for 3&1/2 months)
***I do want to add- I’m not going to just leave him. I’ve already promised him the rest of my life, & won’t walk away over an argument. If this issue sticks around for long enough I may re-asses, but a few weeks of rough waters isn’t enough to make me want to LEAVE him….

***I also know that it’s POSSIBLE to save up to buy a home w/out living w/parents. However- living here we can buy a home in 3 or 4 months, vs. a year or much longer on our own. We made a mutual decision to sacrafice & try to survive living here. He’s already said (multiple times) he’s prepared to get an apartment if I say the word. But I’m trying to tough it out. Like I previously said- the sacrifice now is worth the pay-off to us (and me). I AM reassessing if I can REALLY stay here or if we will just have to wait on a home. But for right now I want to keep saving. Just wanted advice on how to handle the issue, and diff. perspectives on ways to address the issue. Thanks for all advice I’ve rec’d already:).

If everybody is “exactly” the same except for skin color, why do we need “Affirmative Action” type things?

By on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 | 4 Comments

Question by : If everybody is “exactly” the same except for skin color, why do we need “Affirmative Action” type things?
150 years after the end “Slavery” , 40 years of special treatment, other social programs, ETC. Is it possible, just possible that it is not just “skin color” that is the difference in the races? I just look at much of black Africa, they haven’t advanced to the “Stone Age”, let alone came with something as complex as the “Wheel”. Don’t give me that B/S “The White man stole their riches” Gold and Diamonds” those are just trinkets, the White man didn’t steal their farm land, water, sunshine ETC. They just can’t figure out to use them. “Give an African a fish, he will eat for a day, teach him to fish, he will EAT the bait” Yes I will be attacked about grammar, and some can’t wait to cry-baby to Yahoo….”Fred said the truth, we can’t have this, he hurt my feelings”.
Wyn..potential, yes…results no.

Best answer:

Answer by Raquel
Why are ‘slavery,’ ‘wheel,’ ‘stone age,’ etc. in quotes?

Anyways, “I” think it’s “there” to ensure “that” equality “remains” preserved in the “work place.” You “see,” some “people” make ignorant, “generalizing” statements like “They haven’t advanced to the ‘Stone Age,’” and we just “assume” racism is still very “prevalent.”
