I received a 14 day notice to quit. Im scared and upset. I can pay what I owe by next week. I will pay as much as I can on Friday.
Its my understanding that I have to leave and if after 14 days are up, I need to go to court but that could take a few weeks.
I have nowhere to go, noone to take me and my family in.
If i get evicted, I wont be able to get another lease for years probably.
My husband was out of work and now finally has work. We have been late before.I got a raise at work, and my husband's new job has been giving him overtime when it can.
People say save for a rainy day, set aside 2 mos rent in case things go wrong.But we were living paycheck to paycheck and couldnt afford to.
We have no luxury in our lives.No vacations in 6 years, cant remember last nice dinner out.so dont say cut back there is no where to cut back.
I will talk to office today but I feel hopeless, what can i say to these ppl?

I failed my calc class this semester and it lowered my gpa to below a 2.5 I'm retaking it again this summer so it will be removed before I return to campus for the fall. Will I be allowed to pledge since I'm retaking the class? I don't want to go through everything and find out this isn't allowed.

I'm an adult student (28) who returned to college @ 24 to complete my bachelor's degree & change careers. I will graduate this summer with a dbl.-major B. of Science, & have been accepted to grad school in the fall. I already have an associate degree and have worked in my field (IT) for 8 years. I have supported myself the entire time I've been in school, sometimes going to school FT and working 2 jobs. My mother also passed away my first semester, so the semester after that I got straight Cs. My overall GPA will only be a 3.0 but my major GPA will be a 3.37. I've struggled a lot & haven't always gotten the best grades due to my time constraints and depression after my mother died. (She was very sick for years and we were close.)
With my combined education and work experience, plus an explanation of what caused my lower GPA, do you think it will matter to employers? Should I list both my major and my overall GPA on my resume or just my major GPA?

I hope to do better in grad school!

from the news

SINGAPORE : It is the world's first and largest floating stage, and is set to be THE platform for mega performances on the waters at Marina Bay in the next five years.

Made entirely of steel, the stage was recently used to celebrate the Singapore Combat Engineers' 40th Anniversary Parade.

It is also set to welcome a new generation of National Day Parades for the next five years.

Slightly larger than a soccer field, the new stage is made of 1.2 metres of light-weight steel which floats on water.

"The requirement is to create vast spaces on the water. And to also create a space for mass spectator events as well as a temporary set for the National Stadium to take huge performance stage sets. We have to design a platform that's rigid enough to take these high loads," says Dr Koh Hock Seng, Senior Program Manager, Naval Systems, Defence Science & Technology Agency.

The result - a stage that can take the weight of about 9,000 people and three large military tanks.

What's more, it is designed to be broken up and reconnected into various shapes and sizes, when needed.

And walking on it is as good as walking on solid ground. Stage performers don't have to worry about getting sea-sick.

Even though the stage floats on water like a ship, it doesn't swing along with the waves - mainly because it is held in place by six columns, each driven 16 to 20 metres deep into the sea bed.

But the stage is free to move up and down following the rising and falling sea levels.

Construction took a year to complete - it started in March 2006 and was completed by end-April 2007.

But due to land and height constraints, the seven-storey high gallery can only sit some 27,000 people - about half the number of previous National Day Parades at the National Stadium.

"At the end of the day for this very first NDP 07 over here... besides having a seat at the sitting gallery, we have the vast area of this Marina area which people could... find a suitable place, and at the same time, hopefully they can enjoy the NDP 07," says Tan Tze Leng, Programme Manager, Infrastructure, Defence Science & Technology Agency.

The floating platform will be managed by the Singapore Sports Council

Whew !! And after reading several posts about how good he was, I'm quite shocked to say the least . That guy doesn't sound like a Conservative Republican at all . There had to be seceral others, like me, who were watching and wondering just what the heck is this guy promoting . And then, Boom, one of the moderators said what I was thinking and many others just had to be thinking . He said something like , " Are you sure you're running in the right party " ?. . . . .I say, " Thank you Mr. Moderator " .
What do you say ?

My 2002 Chevy Impala is having problems...?
I have a 2002 Impala LS and the security message light comes on, then battery picture, then service engine soon message and they keep repeating, at the same time this happens, the air conditioning stops blowing cool air. When I turn the car off, my radio goes to locked and the trunk release pops open. When I go to restart the car, my automatic tracking is off and has to be turned back on. All this only happens when it is about 78 degrees or more outside. Never happens in the morning or when it is under 78 degrees. Sometimes the trunk pops when you open the passenger side door. After I turn the car off and key out my radio and air and lights stay on. It usually only does it when it's hot outside. Also my door locks will go crazy and click over and over. Any advice??

I was just thinking about the one episode with the whole "brain cancer" speal. He said that he was doing it to get high (good idea, right? haha), but when you think about it, he told Cameron and Chase where they would find his blood sample. So he could have easily had them test someone else's blood. I just think that the brain cancer thing would not have been just a one episode deal, maybe they'll bring it back in the season finale. What do you think??
