I have a friend, to whom I have rented my house. So far, she has paid her rent on time, and she actually does a few things to fix up the place (it's nowhere near "done"). We have worked together for months, and I believe she's a competent, hard-working person. If only it were easy...

She only nets about $140 a week. And she has three pets. And she's not very good at... cash allocation. She has five bucks to buy a dvd, but she tried to beg me for some stamps (to send in utility checks).

She wants a roommate... but she thinks we can't get one until the house is 100% finished (it's like 60% now). But she has excuses about doing some little things... and I know they're crap.

Get a second job, right? Nope, she "can't" leave her animals alone in the house all day, because her dog eats garbage, or some crap. And the animals are staying...

I don't plan to throw her out. But how do I get her head in the game, thinking of how we Can instead of how we "can't"? Real answers.

If I was to say: Okay, what are the top 3 problems that must be overcome to have a peaceful and crime-free community? What would you say. What is the plan to get things right?

Further if we wanted to improve efficiency of society, how would we do that?

the idea that God punishes the entire nation when the collective sins of the people becomes too great. Is this unfair to individuals, or does it help to create a stronger sense of personal resposibilityh

Hi there,

Suddenly this weekend my Task Manager started showing up without menus? Is this due to some virus and I would need to restore/repair it?

I am serious, Christians look up your redemption draws nigh. Russia is getting thousands of their troops ready to go the the Persian Gulf, along with their fighter jets, as I only found out this morning. Never before in history has Russia been an Allie of Iran's and the Arabs, Never until now. The US has said that is it is getting ready to strike Iran. One of the millitary chiefs said the other day that they are not talking of a surgical strike they are talking a major war with Iran, and they said it will be very soon. Israel will also attack Iran soon too. The EU are now working over time on coming up with a peace covernant with many including Israel, and the EU work in 7 year terms too, get that. Israel said the other day they are desperate for peace. The EU have stated that this year they will be aiming to achieve major peace keeping roles and peace making roles. Jesus has showed in back in 2005 that was very biblical it is around the corner(anichrist)

I am interested to know if, in your opinion, the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing or different things:

1.a) "Don't just sit there!"
1.b) "Just don't sit there!"

2.a) "It's just not an issue."
2.b) "It's not just an issue."

3.a) "I just can't give up."
3.b) "I can't just give up."

4.a) "She's not just another pretty face."
4.b) "She's just not another pretty face."

Please post answers for EACH pair of sentences. If the sentences have the same semantic meaning to you, just post "same". If you feel that the sentences have different meanings, explain the difference in your own words.

If they all seem different to you, but you can think of a better example of a similar pair of sentences that would have the same meaning in your opinion, please post those too.

Also, I would appreciate it if you would be willing to mention where you grew up, as I am curious to know if there are regional differences of opinion about this.
