    I apologize in advance if this doesn't make sense.

    However, does anyone know of/have links to/can direct me to the statistics of homelessness around the East Bay (Berkeley in particular) area?

    Many thanks.

    At army funerals, what do they play? I know at police and firefighters' they play the bagpipes, but I'm not sure about army.
    Also, what's the song called?

    ^ The song is called "Taps" and it's usually played on a trumpet or a bugle from a distance of 30-50 yards from the grave site.

    As a Berkeley/Oakland resident, I can tell you our homelessness rate is very high. VERY high. I don't have copy and paste on my phone so I can't link you, but I'd suggest Googling it.

    Does anyone know the actual process of removing cancer and preventing its return?

    I understand that, if it's a tumor, it involves surgery to remove it, but is it always necessary to have chemo and radiation afterwards?

    Ahh! Thank you so much. :arms:
    That was what I wanted to hear (story-wise not reality-wise).
    I will do.
    Thanks for your help. :)

    I don't know too much about this subject, but I believe that chemo and radiation are generally used. There are also hormone therapies that are used for breast cancer patients [I'm not sure about other types of cancer] to prevent its return, or to preempt cancer in people with a high genetic disposition towards it.

    My school prom is usually at the end of April beginning of May
    but I think it's different for every school.
    Here's a site with prom dresses.
    Some of them are like kind of slutty. O__O

    Does anybody know how old you have to be to get into a strip club?
    Like could a twenty year old get into one?
    And is there like any type of poision that somebody
    could swallow and it start to eat away at like the insides?
    Like it'll start burning a hole through somebodies stomach.

    What's the average age at which children begin to speak grammatically correct?
    On average, they learn words at two (more, mummy, no, ball, up), extremely simple sentences at three to four (want more, please mummy, gimme ball, pick up, love daddy) and begin to learn grammar at five to six (I want more please, I love you daddy, pick me up). By ten they can speak as well as an adult, though their vocabulary isn't as advanced and therefore they sound less educated. And their voice is still pretty high, so they sound little.

    My source was dodgy, listen to them.

    O_____o.

    That doesn't seem right. A lot of my little cousins are about three or four and they speak perfectly fine sentences. I mean, apart from the fact that you can tell that they're 3 or 4, their sentences are pretty correct, grammatically. Like, they say "I want more." "Turn on the TV" "Where are you going" etc.

    Cuz I talk to four year olds a lot.

    Generally, by four they are completely and one hundred percent understandable. By two you can understand what they want even if the sentences aren't up to par. And some two year olds are advanced. A family friend had a two year old son who could correctly pronounce the word suffocate. It also depends on the parents. If they always get the kid whatever it wants when it just points to something and squeaks, the child won't learn to speak as easily. My aunt didn't talk until she was three because she never needed to.
