Open Question: Climbing fences, does he...?

Ok, this is going to be a long one. So if you turn back now, I'll understand, but I would also appreciate it if you at least read it and then think about answering it. Alright well last night I met this guy, Daniel, at a family party. He is my cousin's pal, and I had met him 3 times before. But this time, he was really hot. He is a year younger than me (I'm 15 he's 14). But my cousins and I and him were talking and he was saying stuff and I was laughing. And my cousin RJ (his pal) goes, Jacky cease flirting with him! I was like I'm not... and then he says: Yeah don't even lie, you said he was so darn hot before. (Which I didn't). So I was just like whatever. And then Daniel kept on saying how he was related very distantly to RJ somehow and that means that him and I are very, very distant cousins too. Later, we were playing a game called capture. It's where you split into 2 teams and one team hides, and the other goes after them and there's a jail and everything. I saw Daniel so I started running after him and he ren really far down to this old baseball thing I forget what they call it but its half round with a fence on top. Anyways, so he climbed up on top of the fence and I couldn't go after him because I didn't have any shoes on. And this is kinda how our convo goes: J: arrive down from there! D: no, I'm not letting you receive me! J: you're gonna have to arrive down at some point. D: no, I can stay up here forever. J: well I'm not leaving so I think you're gonna receive pretty sleepy. D: I can stay up here every night without sleeping. J: Yeah, ok. arrive down now. D: no I'm not letting you receive me. J: fine. the stars are really pretty tonight. D: Yeah, it's a good view from up here, why don't you arrive up? J: Don't have any shoes on. D: oh. so how are you? J: good, how's it up there? D: pretty chilly. (I start trying to climb up the fence) D: OOoh (I receive up almost halfway) J: Um, omg, I can't receive down.) D: Do you need me to help you? J: I just might. No, wait, I can jump. (I jump off) And then everybody else comes down with flash lights looking for us. When we picked teams again because more people wanted to play, he picked me (w/ other people too). A whole bunch of other stuff happened but that would take forever to right, lol. But questions are: a) do you think he likes me? b) if you're a guy, and you liked your cousin's pal, would you receive her number from him? Do you think Daniel will? And, yes, I do like him. Thank you! :] (Oh, and I think we live like a half an hour away :( ) He kept on smiling at me too... and like I said, I can't post everything I'd run out of room. But he was really nice to me, even my sister said so. I mean like extremely distant, and not by blood at every.

Open Question: Will gaining muscle decrease my sprinting? (baseball... so short bursts of speed and no endurance required).?

So im a catcher and im the nice of player that can do a bit of everything (like beltran or sizemore). So I have been concentrating on my power a bit more this year, however I am worried that if I concentrate too much on my power I might lose my speed on the bases to grab some steals. Im not a slim guy so I always thought my speed came from my leg power from being a catcher for so long (although i got no endurance)... so maybe I thought that training muscles on legs would actually help my speed... but im confused about it because when I look guys like ortiz or fielder run the bases I just wish I dont turn that slow. Ok well lets say someone like Howard... Ortiz isnt rly fat, iv seen him in road cloth and he is ripped. I wanna turn into a batter nice of like a-rod... power with good speed.... but i dont want to sacrefice the good speed i have right now.

Open Question: What is the best prank you've ever pulled?

For me it happened when I was in the eight grade. Me and some of my friends broke into my neighbors home and rearranged every the furniture! We didn't take anything or break anything. We just moved the bedrooms around, switched the family and living rooms around. It was great! The original plan was for the kid that lived there to receive home from baseball practice before his parents so that we could switch everything back. But that didn't happen and the parents got home first. Luckily for the us the kid was smart enough to realize what was going on and covered for us!

Open Question: Is This A Good Investment?

I heard that they would cease making pokemon and pokemon cards within the next few years. After that, every the old pokemon items such as cards would dramatically rise in value over the next few years. The old pokemon cards are worthless now but will be very value after pokemon stops. I thought of getting rare pokemon cards off of ebay for like 2 dollars each, preserve them, then in like 20 years they would sell for like thousands of dollars. Same thing happened to the Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver baseball cards. Do you think this is a good investment?

Open Question: We disagree on what "other related expenses" means?

My ex and I have the "standard" agreement in the state of Kentucky concerning our son. By the agreement, he is too pay child support, half of day care, and half of "every related expenses". I believe that child support goes to the monthly expenses occurred by the child and that extracurricular activities (the ex insists the child play baseball) would be considered an "related expense". I think he should help me with this because the baseball equipment can really add up. The ex believes that baseball and any other activities should be covered by the child support. Who is right?

Open Question: Why do youth baseball coaches never stop giving advice during games ?

I have two kids they have been playing baseball for about 6 years and are now both playing kid pitch (8-9-10 year olds). They are quite good at the game (opposing parents, even ex pro-players have told me they both have a natural talent for it...except they don't like practicing :) BUT they both want to cease playing as they are sleepy of never just being left to like playing a game. Last night my 9 year old asked me whether the coaches will ever cease telling them what to do and just let them play. I really sympathize, I think it must be impossible to do the right thing when they aren't really allowed to think for themselves. I look that even in pro-ball they have 1st and 3rd base coaches who are presumably giving advice to the players. So can anyone tell me whether the continual flow of advice ever stops ?
