a holiday such as Christmas, which has been shown to have been adopted from a pagan holiday? Why do we continue to celebrate the birth of Christ when in the Bible itself, there is no mention of Christmas or of celebrating his birth? If we are to believe what is in the bible, how can we pervert the bible and make claims that are not biblical?

Does he let little girls get Raped? or young children be born with Diseases that let them live just long enough to realize what life is all about, then they die a horribly painfull death? Yet I hear Christians everyday say that God helped me drive through the snowstorm....or God was with me at my job interview and he blessed me with a job....so why does he bless you but he lets horrible things happen to innocent people. I have heard its to teach us lessons about life...but what lesson could an 8 year old with terminal cancer need to learn.

I have a new boss hired from the outside and what I believe management perceived he was and what he is is too different cicrumstances. I report to him yet I still do majority of the work and management still comes to me all the time. I also am being put in a position where I am training my boss on business not only our systems. I do not know why I am reporting to him at all and he is bad for the company.

I have a 6 year old male cat. He is a great pet except that he has completely destroyed a sofa and love seat. I have tried using sprays, but he ignores them. I have placed different types of scratching posts by the furniture and sprayed with liquid catnip to no avail. The biggest problem is his latest habit, which is that he uses the carpet. Problem is that he uses a different spot all the time. I am finding small pieces of torn up carpet everywhere. He ususally digs in after he wakes up. Trimming his nails doesn't seem to help because he does it more to sharpen them back up. HELP!!!!

1) The manual says that the use of cast iron cookware is "not recommended". It says not to use glass as it will scratch. It says porcelain-enamel cookeware "may" scratch the surface. All it says for cast-iron is not recommended. Do you use cast iron, does it scratch? My cast iron pans aren't completely smooth.

2) Do you use the conditioner on the surface after you clean every time? Sometimes? Never?

3) Any other hints? Stories? Experiences?

This was a Christmas gift which is why I am completely clueless. I only found out I was getting it two days ago!

I have really enjoyed (and hated) watching Brett play over the years. He has had some great games against the Bears and I respect him immensely and thats why I want to see him meet his end at Soldier Field. This is how I want to see it: Bears up five points in the closing seconds of the 4th quarter. Favre drops back into the pocket to pass and looks to his right and doesn't see Brian Urlacher rush around behind him from the left and gets hit so hard, his helmet fles into the stands. The crowd first cheers, then grows silent as he lie on the grass motionless besides a slight twitch in his right leg. The ref checks his pulse and looks up at the rest of the Packers and slowly shakes his head and all the players remove their helmets in respect and the crowd cheers as the Packers carry Brett off the field. A picture of him is kept in Soldier Field like Bill the Butcher kept a picture of the priest in Gangs of New York. I think its a good way for him to die. Is that really so bad?

Down the street, a manipulative neighbor who always snubs me when she is mad at our mutual friend. Our mutual friend is a very simple minded innocent person who doesn't really do anything wrong to Ms. Manipulative Hypochondriac. Eventually Ms. Innocent forgives Ms. Manipulative but now I am still being snubbed by the manipulative one and the mutual friend says I have to "be nice." Say what? How am I involved in this at all? All I am is associated with Ms. Innocent. Now even my child is being treated rudely... and honestly it is our association with Ms. Innocent who truly is dumb and innocent, that Ms. Hypochondriac does not like. I have to live on this street and it's getting very uncomfortable. I despise this hypochondriac now, just because of this stupid behavior.

I'm 13. My mom thinks I'm to young to date. Before you either A) say HELL NO or B) close the screen, consider this:
dating at this age is not DATING. A boyfriend is someone you go to the school dance with, a guy who you have feelings for who makes you feel good around. There's a guy who I like who likes me back who I was with. My mom found out and completely flipped out. She says she loves me and is trying to protect me, but I feel like 13 is the right age to have the beginning of a relationship as to gain experience for when I'm older. So, honestly: is it all right to 'date' at 13?

My boyfriend and I dated in 8th grade...then I moved away and we broke up. I never fully got over him which I thought was weird because I was so young. We lost contact and dated a few other people...but then some of my old friends started telling me that he was always talking about me and not staying inlong relationships because he was comparing them to me and try to find me....We ended up getting back incontact and have now been dating for almost 2 years. We are both now 19. I am working as a temp right now and moving around to different businesses; and planning on getting my bachelors degrere next year. He has a great job as an aprentice where he is paid good AND they are sending him to school at the same time (he gets paid to go to school!) We are talking about getting married in the next year, but are afraid that we are too young, and people will look down on us...I have no doubt that I want to be with him the rest of my life. He is the best person I have ever known. Advice?
