I'm really looking for personal experiences of those who have grown up w/o fathers in their lives.

My father abandoned my mother(and two sisters) while she was pregnant with me. He was abusive to her & honestly it was the best thing that could have happened to us all. But I wonder how I would be different if I had had a father growing up. I'm almost 28 now and I have 2 of my own children and they have a wonderful father....I honestly can't imagine doing this job on my own.

Heres something to think about. They probably did not have an equivalent of Al Gore.

*She would be an embarrassment to the Nation if she were President
*She is a horrible Senator who pretends to talk "black" at Baptist churches further making herself look ridiculous
*She lied and cheated her way through life when she was a lawyer at The Rose Law Firm.

WHAT CAN SHE DO and do right? ANYTHING?

10 Office Rules:

10. Never walk without a document -- People with documents look like hardworking employees headed to important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're headed for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they're headed for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you really do.

9. Use computers to look busy -- Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, chat and have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about, but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss -- and you will get caught -- your best defense is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars.

8. Messy desk -- only top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.

7. Voice mail -- Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing -- they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That's no way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they're not there -- it looks like you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

6. Look impatient and annoyed -- According to George Costanza, one should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give off the impression that you're always busy.

5. Leave the office late -- Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important e-mails at unearthly hours (i.e. 9:35pm, 7:05am, etc.) and during public holidays.

4. Creative sighing for effect -- Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.

3. Stacking strategy -- It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor, etc. (thick computer manuals are the best).

2. Build vocabulary -- Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember, they don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.

1. MOST IMPORTANT -- DON'T forward this to your boss by mistake!

When Clinton and the Democratic congress passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (which raised taxes for those making over 200K and increased social spending on education, job training, and police) Republicans were predicting doom and gloom.

Why were they so wrong?
------
"The tax increase will kill jobs and lead to a recession, and the recession will force people off of work and onto unemployment and will actually increase the deficit."
- Newt Gingrish

"I believe this will lead to a recession next year... Stay tuned for the next 60 days... I think we're frankly now living on borrowed time."
- Newt Gingrish

"A recipe for economic disaster..."
- Phil Crane of Illinois

"It is going to lead to a Clintastrophy, an economic Clintastrophy..."
- Indiana's Dan Burton.

"April Fool, America. This Clinton budget plan will not create jobs, will not grow the economy, and will not reduce the deficit."
- Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico

"We are buying a one-way ticket to a recession... I want to predict here tonight, that if we adopt this bill the American economy is going to get weaker and not stronger, the deficit four years from today will be higher than it is today and not lower ... When all is said and done, people will pay more taxes, the economy will create fewer jobs, the government will spend more money, and the American people will be worse off."
- Gramm of Texas

"This plan will not work... If it was to work, then I'd have to become a Democrat and believe that more taxes and bigger government is the answer."
- Kasich of Ohio

While drying clothes last night, the dryer works except for the heating part. It is an electric GE dryer which my wife and I purchased about 7 years ago. I am assuming that there is a part that needs to be replaced which is the heating element of some sort. Am I correct? What could the problem be and how much might it cost to fix? Is it worth fixing or will it be less expensive to just buy a new one? Thanks in advance.
