I had a debate with a friend a while back about this. I never courtesy flush, as I believe the fury of the smell is released at the same time the offending material hits the water and a courtesy flush is just a symbolic attempt to soothe the masses. Others insist that courtesy flushes spare others from the agony. What do you think?

I am a university student in Turkey. Next year 2008 january i will go to ISCTE/ Lisbon by Erasmus program. Through the whole period i stay in Lisbon and in ISCTE they say that there is no dormitories. But i was wondering, if I start living in an apartment on my own, can I able to meet Portugese people and interact multi-culturally more? Can I enjoy Lisbon just like my own country with my friends?

I am 7.5 months pregnant. My husband isn't supporting me financially. He has used all my savings, has put £20K debt on my name with loan and credit card. He has also abused my family financially. We live in my brother's house. I have asked him to leave but he refuses to leave and says he would hit me if I say any more. He has financially engaged my brothers with mobile contracts and debts too. I am scared to live alone because I can't work now until the child is born and childcare is also very expensive £700 pcm, so even when I work after child delivery, i wouldn't afford to pay for the house or childcare. What should I do?

Why can’t the water department take out the chlorine that they put in to kill bacterial mater before it gets to our drinking resources? After all chlorine is bad for us too and we pay for our water so we deserve fresh, uncontaminated, clean filtered water at the tap. Reservoirs can be built in many areas to collect more water but they never plan right to save water and money, they would rather raise the water bill and have floods all the time. They have billions for war, but what about our water resources? What about high insurance prices, government disaster relief money, and all the wasted time and money on fixing something they could end by just spending time making reservoirs and creating jobs building and maintaining these facilities? Not only would they save a lot of water but also the money they save could go to taking out the chemicals from our water before it comes into our pipes and into our glasses, showers, and foods. What about health problems caused by our drinking water?

I have a dachshund and I noticed this morning his face is swollen. It is really swollen around his nose and by the sides of his mouth. I'm not sure if he's having a reaction to the pet food he's been eating. It's Ol'Roy and I noticed it was on the recall list. He doesn't really have the symptoms of what is described for the bad food so I think it's something else. I just do not know what it could be or what to do? Can someone please help me?

We wouldn't think of questioning the Bible, so it seems the only conlusion is that the other cultures, notably the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Phoenicians, the Chinese, etc., were not paying attention.
Question: can I get some info on that?

Or maybe when they were doing their obseravations and writing stuff down, they said "This is too weird, we better just pretend it didn't happen."

But the Hebrew folk wrote it down, cause Joshua said 'Write it down! I stopped the sun! Write it and proclaim it! Put it in the Bible that I stopped the sun."

"The renegade cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged the Iraqi army and police to stop cooperating with the United States and told his guerrilla fighters to concentrate on pushing American forces out of the country, according to a statement issued Sunday.

The statement, stamped with al-Sadr's official seal, was distributed in the Shiite holy city of Najaf on Sunday — a day before a large demonstration there, called for by al-Sadr, to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad.

"You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy," "

What are we teaching the youngster that look up to these players? They say that they are not role models...bullsh**, they know that they are and should act accordingly. The NFL, to me, has turned into a league of prima donnas and money grubbing owners....I am all for making a buck, but come on...it is getting totally rediculous...ticket prices, merchandise, even the old bubble gum cards are skyrocketing.....

Shouldn't the league remember the "little people"? We are the ones that sit in those stands in all weather, support our teams even in the lean years, hold up the family team tradition and pass it on to our youngsters, and finally buy the merchandise....when are we going to get a break? We want our teams to be honorable, hardworking, and DRUG FREE players. What is the Hall of Fame going to be full of in Canton? Think about the future, not the now..... Please Mr. Commissioner, think about what is best for the NFL and the FANS........

So i have curly hair which is like 15 cm if straightened and there's like three four twirls and twists now XD...
Some days it looks good and others it doesnt...and i really dont wanna cut it cause i wanna see it grow LONG!!
but many of my friends think its hurting the way i look and i should cut four months worth of hair growth...
I think they DO have a point cause it hasnt been THAT nice since then :| but what to do....

Look better for the people/myself
Follow my goal and grow it long despite the NOT AS good look that comes with it?

Keep it mind that i have blonde highlights with the natural brown hair and i am one of the few curlheads at my school so i do get asked: "Is it natural...omg how do you do that. "

so yeah what would you guys do? thanks for any advice
