Should you do tasks you dont want to?
You should do tasks that will benefit you the most. If you don't want to do a task, then you're doomed to only put forth half of the effort. So, the best thing for you to do is to complete the task and take what you can from it.
What is the difference between an inside linebacker and an outside linebacker?
To get things started, the outside linebackers are just that...they cover plays on the outside to prevent plays along the outer perimeter, thus the inside linebackers play witin the inside to prevent a blast and to blitz. It really all depends on which defensive play you are running....i.e. 3-4, 4-3, 46. If a 3-4 is called, you then have 3 very big linemen, and four linebackers. But within this formation, you have a strong side and a weak side. This is usually used to disguise where the fourth rusher will be coming from. The two inside LB's, one will cover the run while the other will drop back if needed. Hope this helps.

What is the usual shape of a tornado?
Tornadoes come in different shapes, and the shape changes during the life of the tornado. Some tornadoes are like thin tubes or ropes, some look like large wedges.

After the mobile home is repossessed they will try to sell it. You will be liable for the difference of what you owed less what they got for it. They can sue you for that amount and if they win a judgment against you they can place liens on property or your person, sieze bank accounts and garnish wages. Wages cannot be garnished in TX, PA, NC, or SC. No debt EVER just 'goes away' and its presence or absence from your credit reports does not alter attempts to collect a debt.

Does Texas have the most tornadoes?
The reason for Texas having so many tornadoes, (just like Oklahoma, Kansas......) is because those states are in a region that is prone to collisions of 3 air masses: a warm moist one from the Gulf of Mexico (which is essentially the "fuel" for the storms) a cool air mass from Canada, and a dry air mass from the Rockies. When these winds collide they create thunderstorms. Then wind shear, another condition common over the region in which wind speed and direction change with altitude, sets any storms rotating. Finally, a layer of stable air called a cap allows only the strongest storm to develop, this allows these strong storms to gain strength without having to compete with weaker storms for energy.
