3 Guys rent a room at a hotel. The desk clerk charges them $30.00 so each guy chips in $10.00.
After the 3 men go up to the room, the desk clerk remembers that there was a special and the room should have only cost $25.00. The desk clerk gives the bell-hop 5 one dollar bills & tells him to take it up to the 3 men.
The bell-hop, knowing that 5 one dollar bills doesn't go evenly into 3 (the 3 guys), comes up with a plan. He will give each guy 1 dollar back. The 3 men, not expecting anything back will be happy & the bell-hop will keep the other $2.00 for himself.
Now that the 3 men got their dollar back, it means that each only paid $9.00 for their share of the room. 3 x $9.00 = $27.00 + $2.00 that the bell-hop kept = $29.00.
Where did the other dollar go? They started with $30.00.

If the right six instruments are there and in the right order but the Turn co-ordinator is lower than the rest, is that still considered a standard six or would that make it non-standard?

the adoption was in 1955 when mom was preg with me without telling my father as they said she was unfit to be a mother and took my brother & sister from her but yet still left her oldest son in her custody. Her married name was Zimmerman, my father's name was marvin leroy zimmerman, i've seen the birth certificate's for my brother and sister, his name is terry lee zimmerman, and her name is pamela kay zimmerman at birth. from what i understand they were adopted and their name changed to Anderson. mom had a major stroke in the 90's,( laid on the floor for 8+ hours when i discovered her when getting home from work. my 2nd or 3td cousin tells me that the ol man is somewhere in wisconsin or minnesota, as for him i don't really care, i would really just like to meet my brother and sister, and have them mmet their mother while she is still around. I know this went thru D.A. Blodgett home in 1955, but they won't give me any info

Does anyone know how big the lhaso apso/maltese mix gets? Also, could you tell me where to see more pictures of these dogs online? DO NOT reply if you are just going to tell me to get one at a rescue shelter. Skip to the next question and go on. I don't want that, I want to spend MY money and BUY one.

Nightwish and Trans-siberian's orchestra's secular album, Beethoven's Last Night, are somewhat similar in my opinion with their fantasical-sounding music (as my friend puts it).

Does anyone know of any groups similar to Nightwish and/or that particular album by Trans-siberian Orchestra?

I'm 21 and don't look forward to a marriage and don't even have the smallet bit of desire to persue a relationship with anyone. I feel that I am better off alone. When I tell people I don't want to get married, especially my parents, I get nothing but wide eyes and the simple one-word question, "why?" -- WHY IS IT SUCH A BIG DEAL THAT SOMEONE DOESN"T WANT TO GET MARRIED? But most of all, what can I tell everyone for them to understand?
