I was recently deployed to Iraq. Before that I was deployed to Cuba, both for a year plus. Because of the deployment, i was forced out of my gym contracts with Bally's Total Fitness. Both times Ballys first refused to stop my automated deductions but then, after threating lawsuits, they let up. Now because of this mess with Bally's, my credit score has dropped 130 points since my last credit check 2 years ago. Its the only negative score on the report. Now because of this, when i refinance in a month, I will be getting a horrible rate. Is there anything i could do about this?

Every oatmeal cookie recipe that I've come across calls for quick oats. What will be the outcome of my cookies if I use the regular oats instead? Is there really that much difference between the two? Other than cook time, I mean.

She has kids who are young adults. I am concerned for her, and for them. No one seems to know why this happened, and I think that not knowing is going to be a huge problem for them.
Also, on a practical note--will the husband's life insurance pay off on this? I have heard that most will not pay for suicides. Anyone know if that is usually true?

In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty"
Every year 15 million children die of hunger
For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years
Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children will die from illness and starvation. Those 100 million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the world spends on its military in two days!
The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving- Since you've entered this site at least 200 people have died of starvation. Over 4 million will die this year.
One in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of 5. United Nations Food and Agriculture

The infant mortality rate is closely linked to inadequate nutrition among pregnant women. The U.S. ranks 23rd among industrial nations in infant mortality. African-American infants die at nearly twice the rate of white infants.
One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night.
Half of all children under five years of age in South Asia and one third of those in sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished.
In 1997 alone, the lives of at least 300,000 young children were saved by vitamin A supplementation programmes in developing countries.
Malnutrition is implicated in more than half of all child deaths worldwide - a proportion unmatched by any infectious disease since the Black Death
About 183 million children weigh less than they should for their age
To satisfy the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only US$13 billion- what the people of the United States and the European Union spend on perfume each year.
The assets of the world's three richest men are more than the combined GNP of all the least developed countries on the planet.
Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger
It is estimated that some 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition, about 100 times as many as those who actually die from it each year.

I see a lot of answers in here where women are saying their husbands aren't having sex with them (one was even for 6 years!).
How can these men have any interest in sex and not make love to the one available person. I have low testosterone (i am supposed to take medication) and I want to have sex with my wife every day! After 11 years! My wife is not a beauty queen or exceptionally hot but I still want it. Not that she ever really wants it, but that is a different question.

Hi all. I’m trying to find my ideal job. A contract IT position overseas but earning American wages. I live in the United States and I’m looking for anyone that may have some advice or reference to a US based company or Gov. Agency that deal with contracts overseas. I did the military thing, and I also did the GS thing. If anyone knows a name of a company or a web page that deals in overseas employment contracts, please let me know.

Make up your mind now
Make up your mind now
Before you run away
Make up your mind now
While the sun is still up over us
Don’t’ make it any harder
Try not to fade away from me
Still got time to turn it over
So that we don’t cry
Make up your mind now
Before you run away
Make up your mind now
When it’s still raining
There’s no more space for you and me
I have done hurting much
I can do hurt to your heart
Make up your mind now, (make it up now!)
Before the setting of the sun, (setting sun)
I don’t wanna do this no more
I’m on my knee crawling to you
Make up your mind for me, (just for me)
Before it’s too late, (it’s too late!)
