If you are married and have been filing as independent for a few years, how do you record a gift of money from parents that paid off outstanding education loans? Are there taxes that need to be paid?

We had a really exciting visit today, I can't believe I forgot about it until now. We got a flier from the Jehovah's Witnesses telling us that apparently this year Jesus died on April 2. Well that's when they were "celebrating" it anyway. How is that calculated, is it to do with the moon?

But possibly the most exciting part is that we found out we've got a local Kingdom Hall! It's a small suburb, don't know how we've missed it, but there you go. Any advice on this new discovery?

I know there's several questions there, but at least this way people can take up whichever bit they want (as usual) and STILL feel like they're answering the question! Who says heathens can't be generous?!

My husband is in the military and regularly hears everyone's political gripes about the war in Iraq. After which they always say "But I support the troops". What I want to know is how many people who say that actually DO something. Or is their support simply a pat on the back and a "atta boy".

I use an Olympus SP500UZ and usually setting it on the SHQ setting for best qualitiy. My photos still come out at 72 dpi which excludes me from some contests. A contest I want to enter now says I must have 300 dpi at minimum 4"wide and 200KB, The photo I was to enter is 72dpi and 130KB. How do I fix this, and if I can't how do I take future photos that would be 300 dpi.
Anything involving numbers fries my brain. I hate math!

I was raised pentecostal by two caribean parents.
I get conflicting messages, one which says I can be anything I want once I get out of college but another that says
I have a certain path to follow anyways.

they seem to get upset when I dont follow this "predetermined" path. I cant bear to see myself ending up like so many people in my church, old and redundant. I'm 20 and soo I will have to soar.

I want so bad to leave my church and find a new one. I hate being so well know.

any advice?

my dreams include leaving this place to start a rock and and touring.
Then later use my degree in finance to help disadvantaged families coordinate bills and
If I ever become famous, I would like to use my money and influence to coordinate serious efforts on behalf of children who cant read.

yes everything that goes through my head is lofty, with most of it being left up to chance, but I still dream.

I remember airlines asking for people with disabilities and parents with infants to board first. Why has this changed. Now I see the first class and business members board first. In fact they should board last as they sit in front rows.

Why does it matter who brought in the most money. The media itself is equally covering the candidates. I could care less of H. Clinton brought in the most money, I'm still not voting for her.

I have a 29 gallon biocube with 2 other pj cardinals and zenia, star polyps, and mushrooms. If I treat the tank with meds I will likely lose all of my snails, corals, etc. I have a quarantine tank set up for them, but was told that if I quarantined them the ick would still be present in the tank. Is my best option to raise the temp a bit (currently at 78) to 80 and drop the salinity to 1.020? If I did this could I put the corals in the quarantne tank to ensure that the lowering of the salinity doesn't killl them?

If the Bush argument is so honest and true - where's all the facts? 911 the nations largest/worst crime scene - sterilized? Clues and evidence all cleaned away? WHY?

Why?

Why 911 seems like such a perfect Bush talking point- fear fear fear, terrorism, 911, ...scared yet? Got Duct tape?
The plan is perfect for making us afraid - it seems, is it a big lie? Forget the anthrax- please forget the anthrax - we got 911 and its far more effective canard for all reasons to borrow money from China, and wreck the economy and give war-time tax breaks to Big Oil- hello?
"Fight them over there"?
with our loose borders- does that make any sense? My point- where's th P.R. to squash this -
WhiteHouse DOES want us to believe they are truthful- don't they??
..maybe we'd just like to know... something fishy going on...you can bet - the appearance secrecy is a big mistake

I have always been interested in social work, even though I have had great reservations about the career (because it is difficult to make a good salary, doesn't get much respect and case loads are too high, etc.). However, my mother really encouraged me to do it and I'm now halfway through an MSW (Master's) program.

However, the more I think about it, the more I'm realizing that I will *not* be happy with the salary I will be making. I know that you don't go into this profession "for the money," but while I don't want to be rich I want to be adequately compensated for my education and skills and I don't believe I will be.

What do I do now?? If I drop out, I will save loads of money (loans) but won't have anything to show for it. If I stay, I will have a Master's degree, but what can I do with an MSW if I don't want to be a social worker? I'm lost and don't know what to do. I have also considered doing occupational therapy, but that would require another Master's...Help!
