Why do men say sth nice to a lady and then have to end with "Just kidding"? It's just so annoying. They do not for what? Not to feel embarassed of the compliments?

I mean, if the answer to someone's question was "Yeah, my cat died three days ago" would a thumbs up indicate a "Kudos" or "Good for you" or maybe even simply "Yes, I agree that your cat died three days ago"? What are your thoughts?

place. Im 21 & i have a 3 yr old child thats not his but u wouldnt think so when theyre 2 gether. Her fathers in prison for 20yrs. my bf has done alot for me in the past 2 yrs. But we fight and argue more than we get along.He always throws all of the things he does for me in my face when we argue.(I think he believes i should kiss his ***). I feel like he wants to feel dominant or something. Is it right for him to make it seem like i dont contribute to anything because i make less money. I still contribute every month to the rent & i take care of my child. I was doing it alone before him. He has a tendency to put his self in the same category as my granny who raised me & watches my child daily when i go to work. He tells me i should appreciate them more.(him and my granny). I get offended when he says that because even if he feels like i dont appreciate him he shouldnt speak for her i app my nana very much & i show her daily in many ways.He can never be in the same boat as her.

I have a 2-year old son that has sucked his thumb since he was about 3 months old. At first we didn't give it much thought and thought he would just stop doing it on his own when his teeth started coming out. We now he is 2 and it seems that he isn't ever going to get over that face. We have tried to just taking it out from his mouth every time he does it, we have tried distracting him while he is doing it, we have tried telling him to get it out sternly, we have tried to put garlic on it, but nothing seems to work. He'll get it out at that moment that we tell him or put garlic but once we're not looking or the wipes all the garlic away he just puts it back in his mouth. Does anyone have any ideas? Please help....

Men, what are your thoughts on the women you hook up with, like one night stands. do you respect them, does it change your feelings for them, do you stop thinking about them the minute you sleep with them? What do you think of them? I'm sure a lot of people feel different but I just want to get a variety of opinions to try and see what is out there.

Do you think its irresponsible for a parent to bring their child, who is knowingly infected with RSV (a potentially serious respiratory infection and highly contagious) to their daycare? My friend runs a daycare from her home and didn't know much if anything about RSV. Well, one parent brought her son and told my friend, "if his breathing rate goes above 60, take him to the ER." I'm sorry, but that seems really irresponsible, and frankly, dangerous and unfair to the other kids at the daycare. Anyone? I think she should tell the mother to come pick the kid up.

I've tried getting together with a couple people I've met through different classes I've taken at the Y. It never seems to work out due to changing schedules and the general business of working moms. It seems like the majority of women I talk to have a hard time fitting in more than an hour a week for exercise. It helps me a lot to have a workout buddy because then I know I have to go to the gym if for no other reason than not to stand them up. Any ideas would be appreciated.

would also argue that every single barrel of domestically produced crude oil and every MCF of natural gas makes us less dependent on foreign sources. That is just one more barrel that we didn't have to import. That is another 50-plus dollars that we didn't send to some country that may hate us. It is another $6 an MCF of natural gas that didn't go somewhere else.

And so, why, for goodness sakes, would we want to intentionally inflict financial harm on the folks that are producing the crude oil and natural gas from domestic sources? It is counterproductive in the extreme.

And so when you talk about reducing our Nation's dependency over some period of time, since we recognize we are going to have to have crude oil and natural gas, then by reducing the domestic production of crude oil and natural gas, you have, in fact, increased the foreign source requirements of that crude oil and natural gas. And so that is what this bill does.

Let me talk a little bit about the specifics of what this bill does. Back under the Big Oil category, let me talk about what that did. That is simply a tax increase. Most businessmen and -women understand that taxes on businesses go up and they go down, they go up, they go down, so a 3 percent increase in the tax rate on businesses is not something that is going to destroy any single business, I wouldn't expect. But it is cash flow that would have otherwise gone into their business. And in this instance, their business is producing crude oil and natural gas.

Statistics show that the small producers who are impacted by this provision reinvest about, in 2005, reinvested 617 percent of their profits back in the ground. Let me make sure you understand that. If they made a dollar out of their businesses, they borrowed $5 and put $6 back in the ground.

Now I would give you the statistics from 1999 to 2005, but it is embarrassing. It is 898 percent. And so these are folks that take that money that they earn, taking the risks of drilling for oil and gas. And I am going to be joined here in a few minutes by a colleague who fed his family for a while owning a service company in the oil and gas business, taking the risks that are inherent with all the oil and gas exploration, all of the regulatory burden with trying to produce crude oil and natural gas and making money with it and turning that money back into additional activity.

That 617 percent provides additional jobs, because you spend that with drilling contractors; you spend it with service companies, some large and some small, some mom and pop organizations. In fact, my dad and mom owned an oil field service company for the last 25-plus years of my dad's career. They spent it with folks like him, who he also hired folks, and so that is how that system worked.

What section 102 does is to change a section of the code, section 199, which, back in 2003 when America was losing jobs, particularly manufacturing jobs, the Republican Congress in place at the time said, we need some way to incent manufacturing jobs because most manufacturing jobs have better benefits and better pay than service jobs, particularly entry-level service jobs.

Now, you know, lawyers and accountants and doctors and others are in service business and they make really good money. But the bulk of service jobs are such that they don't make as much money. But manufacturing jobs, by and large, really are important to this economy on a go-forward basis.

In fact, back in 2003, Speaker Pelosi said manufacturing jobs are the engines that run the economy. These are good jobs. They give working families high standards of living. So even our current Speaker agreed that to incent manufacturing jobs to stay in this country was an important thing to do. So that is what section 199 of the code was intended to do.

The net effect was to take the corporate tax rate which, on C corporations is 35 percent, and over its implementation time frame would lower that rate about 3 percent to somewhere between 32 and 33 percent, meaning that those manufacturing jobs would have that 3 percent taxes that instead of coming to the Federal Government and having the 435 of us spend it, the companies would spend that money themselves. And with respect to the oil and gas business, they would take that money and multiply it by, from 200 percent to 600 percent for the small companies with additional activity, additional jobs.

Now, by definition, oil and gas production was considered to be manufacturing under the definition that was put in place. Now, under the ending subsidies for Big Oil, every single oil company, the companies that produce the largest average daily production down to the smallest daily production, if they are a C corp, are impacted by this. So I guess by impact, we will have to assume, my colleagues on the other side's definition of Big Oil includes every oil company, just because that is how this impact will be. This impacts every single oil company that is in that business.

And again, I said taxes go up, taxes go down. But the net effect on this is that there is less money for these companies to spend in the oil business drilling, producing, completing all the things that go on to produce additional crude oil and natural gas which, again, as I said earlier, limits our need for imported crude oil and natural gas. Every single barrel is a barrel that we have not had to buy from somebody who really hates us.

My Fellow Americans:

As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list! contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.
