Trisha is going to Mexico to buy her grandmother a scarf. Trisha's grandmother's favorite color is yellow and her next favorite color is pink and her next favorite color is green. When Trisha got to the Mexican scarf shop she found out that a strand of yellow yarn costs 5 cents and a strand of pink yarn costs 3 cents and a strand of green yarn costs 7 cents. Trisha told the Mexican scarf maker that she wanted a 900 strand scarf made of 42% yellow yarn, and 37% pink yarn, and 21% green yarn. Trisha is planning on paying for the scarf by selling beef taco's to the workers. Trisha sells each beef taco for 12 cents and makes a profit of 80% on each beef taco. If Trisha only has 955 beef tacos, is that enough beef tacos to sell in order to buy her grandmother her scarf?

In January of 2007 I received a phone call that my mother in-law was in the hospital. She was just going in to have Gall Bladder surgery. I notified my husband it was a simple easy surgery. My mother in-law came out of the surgery ok sick but ok. Two days later I receive another phone call saying she is bleeding out and needs emergency surgery. So I then sent another message to my husband letting him know. Naturally he was worried. So she came out ok and ended up having her spleen removed. I notified my husband once again that she was ok. One day later I received another call from the hospital that his mom was dieing and had to have another surgery to release pressure in her stomach. There was so much swelling that her heart, lungs was failing. So she ended up on life support. I sent my first Red Cross message for my husband to return home. Well he came home and mom got a little better, but then crashed again. We had so much to take care of for her. Her finances, medical bills, insurance, disability, social security and legal affairs were all needing to be taken care of. With only a short leave granted, and no will, or power of attorney there was little he could get accomplished. The hospital did give him all medical say so, because he was the only one his mom had and she had told her case worker that she wanted him to, in case something happened to her. When his leave was up he left to go back to Iraq without having time to take care of everything and with dealing with his mother telling him, “please don’t leave me son”. Once I was back home, and he was on his way back to Iraq the phone calls started coming in with her health going up and down, as well as the hospital needing him there to make decisions for her.. So I had to email him and do what I could to get him on the phone with the hospital. Then with the hospitals guidance, we sent another Red Cross message to get him home for his mom. The message was sent with all the proper info from Doctors and Administration. I could not make these decisions, or handle any of her affairs. No one would even talk to me about them. The Army then refused to send him home, just because he had been home prior to this for the same reason. As we all know it takes time to get things in order and done. So I went to his chain of command here in the states. They have been so helpful. They verified that all the information was true, and he really needed to be sent back to take care of his mother’s affairs, and to be with her. All I hear from the rear command is he will be leaving the next day, or soon they will have him on a flight. After three weeks and matters getting worse, he is still not home. From over in Iraq he is not being told nothing, and later finding out that it has been denied three times. I can not understand why his battalion will not release him to come back to take care of his mother. My husband is not the only solider this is happening to. I am hearing more and more of this kind of thing happening in this unit, I just wonder if it is an Army wide dilemma. The Army's Saying is, "Soldiers and Family Always," Where's that coming into play here. There's nobody that can make decisions on his mothers behalf but him. The Army is playing politics with me, and giving us the run around. They tell you what you want to hear. The command here at Division level has been more than helpful but why does the middle guy seem to have a problem with taking care of one of his soldiers and family, like he told us before my husband was sent over there. Well the battalion commander is mad at me because I over stepped him, and now my husband and his mom has to pay for it. Why does the Army let him get away with it? They still today are refusing to send him home and delaying everything that is being sent from Division. I have the 1st Cav Division here fighting to have him home and over in Iraq a Battalion Commander that is refusing to let him come home because I over stepped him, to take care of my family. If the shoe was on the other foot, I bet things would be different. Can somebody put a stop to the way our soldiers and when I say that I am meaning husbands, wives, sons, and daughters are being treated over seas by commands that say one thing but do another. This needs to end here and now! We need to wake up and realize that they are human and if they are worried about home and not the job at hand over there in Iraq then somebody is going to get hurt or killed because someone was not in the right state of mind. Then they will see that our soldiers are not robots. It should not take that for them to see they are human too. We all want them home, we know there is a war at hand and they are needed there, but we need them home too for family issues as well. PLEASE STOP AND LET THE PUBLIC KNOW HOW THEY ARE REALLY BEING TREATED SO OUR FUTURE SOLIDERS DO NOT GET THE SAME TREATMEANT.

If celebrities can pollute by flying private jets, why is that OK?
They can walk and ride bikes like they want the rest of to. Are all pigs equal, but more some pigs more equal than others.
Aren't carbon ofsets just a way to pollute and live the same lifestyle--still polluting as much as before-- but telling the rest to conserve. It makes me angry for Al Gore to get an award and then see all the private jets in the airport. Arnie flys and plants trees? How many thousands of trees does it take? Anyone figure it out?

Reason I ask is because I'm 22 most of my experience so far consists of retail, customer service, and now administrative/clerical-type duties.

So now I'm looking into doorman work, so I guess I'm gonna have to change my objective? But to what? Right now my object talks about basically taking advantage of my office/organizational/typing skills and using them in a professional environment.

When the super/boss sees that, wouldnt he be like "Ok so why do you wanna be a doorman then?" You know? So how do I incorporate doorman work into all this? My father said I should just use my Actor resume since it has my picture on it and, well you know, the residents probably wouldnt mind a well-presentable face.

But I don't know, what do you guys think?

well this morning about 8:00 or so I was outside walking off of my porch stairs & I lost my balance & fell. It was really hard to breath & a hard time getting up. its 2:55 pm now & im still in terrible pain & its kinda hard to breath. I want to go to the hospital to get exrays & make sure my baby is ok. But somebody told me they don't know if they will do exrays while pregnant. Is it still a good idea to go & get checked or will it be a waste of time to go? What could they do if they won't do exrays?? I want serious answers please!

She absolutely loves band but just says "hi" to the other band kids. She has a few friends she talks to at school, but won't call them on the weekends. She just hangs around at home, reading 90% of the entire time or doing whatever needs doing. She is not studying --but her grades are A's and B's. She told me she is too exhausted from all her late-night reading to call people. She says lately she is talking more at school, but she never makes a phone call to anyone. The occasional calls from others stopped a few months ago.
Should I insist on boarding school? It's only for 11th and 12th graders so she would start off friendless like everyone else so no cliques to try to break into. The academics are the same at both her current high school and the boarding school. She says she is happy at the high school she is at, but with only a few acquaintances, I'm concerned about her social development. Shouldn't she go to the boarding school? It's free if that means anything..
