I cannot stand the taste of coffee. I love the smell of it, I love coffee flavored things like coffee ice cream, but I cannot manage to get myself to enjoy it as a beverage. I really want to learn how to like it, though. I enjoy most foods and drinks, but coffee is my next culinary challenge to surmount. Any advice for a coffee novice like myself? I know that the key to liking foods/drinks that you dislike is constant exposure, but I was wondering what is considered "mild" in the coffee world and something from which I can...

I'm looking for really in-depth resources about the Revolutionary War for my own personal knowledge. Documentaries, books, etc. Thanks in advance. :)

A friend of mine just tried killing herself tonight. She's in the emergency room and we're still waiting for news. Her name is Kylie and prayers are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So I am writing a paper for my PoliSci class on the "right of revolution" and I plan to use John Locke's writings as my main supporting evidence.

I keep finding vague answers about monarchs, but no one who has actually spoken/written out against the idea. Any suggestions? :) Thank you!

I am seriously considering doing so, but I am wondering what exactly is going into these vaccines. Does anyone know where I can get an accurate description of the vaccines' contents? Thanks. :)

Hi, guys. I've been trying to solve my issue for hours without any luck. So any suggestions are appreciated.

My laptop can, however, detect my iPhone. Both my phone and my laptop are connected to the internet. I've tried updating my phone, Windows, and associated drivers with no luck. I have restarted my phone, my laptop, and iTunes several times. I have uninstalled all Apple programs and...

I am doing a paper for my college health class about Euthanasia and the right to die, and I am supposed to discuss Terri Schiavo's situation. My textbook doesn't give much information and the information that is given paints her parents as horrible for wanting to keep her alive "against her wishes". While I was pretty young when this situation occurred, I have heard snippets here and there over the years and the whole situation seems fishy. I tried Googling information, and all I come up with Wikipedia and MSM articles talking about her "right to die". Does someone have...
