How to create a path for prom?

So this year, for our school's Junior Senior Banquet (prom), we are planning on a black and white theme- we're hoping it will seem like a walk through the park at night. We have everything rented and painted. And we had made a black fabric path. However, the insurance policy of the building we are using will not allow fabric on the ground (because of people tripping, etc.) So, we were thinking rocks along the sides to suggest a path. But now we're concerned that girls' dresses might catch on the rocks and drag them along. Any suggestions for a simple, safe, and practical way to create a path?

When asked does your insurance company have to give you with the name and contact info of their E & O Ins?

The State Insurance Commission, knowing we had concerns (complaints, actually) told us to ask for our local companys Error and Omissions Insurance Provider. Our local company first said they couldn't give it out, then a week later said they would call me in the morning, which of course they didn't.

How can I look older than I do, and at least look my age?

I know it sounds like I'm avoiding answering your question, but enjoy looking younger while you can. As long as you're not toting around a pacifier and your wardrobe doesn't consist of Blues Clues tshirts, there's nothing wrong with looking young.

How many flybys of celestial objects are due in the future?

I'm just curious. I'm also quite exited, this year in August, the Dawn probe is due to flyby the second most mive asteroid Vesta, if i'm not mistaken. Thank you!

What does this guy want from me?

I liked this guy, we'll call him Jacques, for almost a year. We moved in together (completely platonic friends, there were also five other people living with us! May I also say we're pretty much best buds). I stopped liking him because he found out and that might have been awkward. We sometimes slept/sleep in each others beds because we like to have someone there to cuddle with I guess. A month and a half ago, on a drunk night(they usually are), he started hitting on me. We kissed and not a whole lot more happened. This was a mistake, for both of us. We talked about it and said that it shouldn't happen again, he told me he didn't like me...fast forward to my birthday (March 4th). I slept at his place and I honestly just wanted to sleep. I thought he was asleep, but I guess not because the next thing I know he's trying to feel me up and tries kissing me, but misses TWICE! I sort of resist and about a half hour later I try kissing him, but I get no response. Help! I am confused..

Do you think that this paragraph about religion is true?

If we open any recent book on the origins of religion, we find that there is one point on which all authors are in agreement. They all agree in saying that religion arose in the world out of fear. Primitive forest-dwelling man feared thunder and lightning, darkness and storms, and various things about him that he was unable to understand or control. His method of avoiding the danger he saw in these phenomena was to demonstrate either humility and submission or homage and reverence, depending on which he felt was most appropriate. Later, as man's knowledge and understanding developed, this fear of the forces of nature changed into a fear of phenomena more difficult to apprehend. Religions based on deference to objects of fear such as natural phenomena, spirits and celestial beings, came to be looked down upon as unreasonable and ridiculous. And then man's fear became still more refined into a fear of suffering, suffering of the sort that cannot be alleviated by any material means. He came to fear the suffering inherent in birth, ageing, pain and death, the disappointment and hopelessness which arise out of desire, anger and stupidity, which no amount of power or wealth can relieve. Long ago in India, a country well provided with thinkers and investigators, intelligent people dispensed with all paying of homage to supernatural beings and started seeking instead the means of conquering birth, ageing, pain and death, the means of eliminating greed, hatred and delusion.

What is meant by the triumph of Manifest Destiny?

It was an excuse to force the Indians to move west. The American government didn't wan't to look bad so they said it was God's will for it to be that way.
