My grandma and grandpa live on the other side of the country, I haven't visited them in 7 years due to being a poor college student.


I found out today that my grandma (78 years old) has leukemia and may not benefit from chemo.

My entire family in California (where I live) booked flights for Thanksgiving for an entire week since it may be my grandma's last Thanksgiving.

I went home and booked the same flights for me and my wife without asking my boss first.

I am going in tomorrow and telling my boss that I have the vacation time and I never ask for time off so I need to take 3 days off during Thanksgiving week. (I get two days off for the holiday that week).

I work in accounting and me and one other person handle the business accounts. The other person already requested Thanksgiving week off to go to the desert and I think my boss will tell me no.

What do I do?

I plan to go even if my boss says no, but I don't want to lose my job!

I have a friend who's labeled a nerd, but for a good reason. I also have some other friends who I joke with about...well, everything I can't joke about with the first one. My other friends tend to pick on the other one. What the crap should I do?

I know people say that with such passion and understanding, but I never could understand why that is...I ask, cuz I read someone ask if I've asked God for forgiveness for sinning. So I don't know...

Republicans wave flags, claim they love their nation, etc.

BUT when it comes to paying taxes....well that's another story.

I thought good citizens always paid taxes without endless complaining? Not if your a Republican though!

Let's pretend that you will be dictator of the U.S. for a day, and any law you make can never be revoked. So think carefully because 50 years from now, the laws you pass will still be in effect. You can only be dictator for one day only and cannot extend your rule, but otherwise, any law you make will take effect permanently

What laws would you make here in the U.S. and why?

If a guy drinks or gets high wouldn't that effect his sperm? How often does a man produce sperm? I was under the impression he made it as needed. Thus, after he ejaculated he'd produce more. My husband says it is constantly reproducing. Then my question is where does it go if it isn't used? you can't just pee it out.

we did a stoichiometric experiment with CuSO4 (copper sulfate). so what would happen to the percent yeild if 1)the product was washed with water instead of acetone,2) not all the acetone was removed when we dried the product, 3) the beaker was not rinsed with the additional 5 mL of ethanol, 4) more then 10mL of water was used to dissolve the anhydrous copper sulfate

If you had a choice, which would you prefer? I pushed for 5 1/2 with my son and ended up having a c-section because he wasn't coming. Turns out his head was so big that it wouldn't fit. They even had to use a vaccum in the c-section. My next baby, I was glad when they wanted to do the c-section. To me it was easier and I didn't have a long recovery. I was at the mall when the baby was 3 days old. (the baby was home with daddy) Just wondering how others feel.

I mean come on christians leave other peoples lives alone.

FACT: Abortion is a LEGAL and Safe Medical procedure in the United States of America. Meaning it is a LAW.

If you hate American Law then why dont you leave America??? get out?

You cant pick and chose the laws you have to follow.

I have a ZERO Tolerance for Anti Choice people. They want to control people.

My Wife gets her abortion tomorrow morning. IT will cost about $450 but it will only last a few minutes. The fetus is removed, and we go home and live out life. We prefer to live our lives without christian extremsits interfering in it

I believe that we're winning the war on Terrorism.
And, I believe there were wepons of mass destruction i Iraq.
And, I believe Saddham Hussein was in cahouts with Al-Queida.
And, I believe we should be able to turture people in Gitmo.

And, I believe Christians should vanquish the Muslims -- "W" called it a crusade, and goddamm it it's a crusade!

Any questions?

I am asking this question because I just don't see asian guys being as sexual as other guys. I just see them as being nerdy. Is their sexual drive not as great?

L. Ron Hubbard was friends with Jack Parsons who was the student of that well-known Satanist Aleister Crowley and that L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology cult is just a sci-fi version of Crowley's Satanism? Scientology is evil! Don't take their free personality test, you could lose your soul.
