Over the past two years I have been trying to do up my house, which could have been finished about a year ago; except that every builder/plasterer/joiner/painter etc we've had just messed us around. Either they turn up 3 hours late every day, take 2 hour lunches, don't turn up at all when they say they will. Some take longer on the job to try and get more money, some quote us, say they'll start next week and then never turn up. Some start the job then don't turn up for 2 weeks with no phone calls, they don't answer their phone - and still expect to be paid for the work started! Some go completely AWOL in the middle of a job and we never hear from them again.
If there is anyone out there that can justify that not all tradesmen are the same then I would like to hear from you.
Likewise if you've been in a similar situation, it would be comforting to know that it's not just me.

I understand that some holy books consider homosexuality to be sinful, but my question is -- What do you think is God's reason for condeming it?

My husband is the only one who works. I am a stay at home mom. He makes good money, but we would like to have more on our paychecks. He claims zero right now on the W-4. We always get a big refund at the end of the year, but we would rather have a little more throughout the year. Would changing what we claim to 2 or 3 change anything.or would it not be that much of a difference?

I got an email about a week ago saying that why shouldn't people that are on welfare have to take drug screens before they get accepted like the people that are applying for jobs have to since they are the ones paying for the welfare anyway.Do you agree/disagree?

My daughter had a few bouts of what doctors called "colic" when she was about 6 weeks old. My in laws seemed to believe that this was all due to a condition that their culture (hispanic) calls "OJO"
Apparently a baby (or adult for that matter) gets this when someone looks at her admirably and does not touch her. (?) They then give her this evil eye that causes her severe pain that makes her scream bloody murder. Then my mother-in-law comes over with an EGG and rubs it all over my daughter and cracks it into a glass of water. Somehow, by cracking that egg in the glass she is able to determine if she has ojo or not, which she strangely does everytime that egg gets cracked.
No offense, but this all sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. Does anyone think differently or know of any scientifc reasons as to why this would be true at all?
We get into about this a lot. She doesn't do it to her anymore, but I'm still curious.

I've was taking One-A-Day weight smart for about a week, but I stopped because I would feel my heart flutter every hour or so. I haven't taken them in three days, but I still feel those flutters frequently. Will these eventually go away?

THANK YOU ALL SOLDIERS for YOUR LOVE of us.From YOUR petty countrymen.
ThankYOU families that make the sacrifice, being with out them for their enlistment.
YOU all should be validated as the BEST of the STRONG,Validated and celebrated for YOUR GIFT to our country,in a time when people forget HOW WONDERFUL our LIBERTIES are.

I put quotes around "races" because i don't believe in them. Different cultural backgrounds, sure, but not in races. And I cannot think of one good reason for the separation of people by color, creed, or background, or "sticking with your own kind". I once asked a work acquaintence if he found this incredibly beautiful, hot black woman to be attractive. He said, "No, I believe in the purity of the white race and no mixing with others." I believe this for all people, that to intentionally stick with your own color or creed, even when presented with many attractive and intelligent alternatives, that to refuse to even consider someone as a partner because of their "race", is racist, supremist, etc. Argue as much as you wish, but separation creates inequality. I believe that the mixing of cultures and colors, and the dropping of religion, is the only hope for the world.

You know the little yellow rectangle that appears when you get new email, that sits in the system tray?

Is there a way to make it only come on when you have real mail? I get so much junk email that I always am thinking I got mail, when in fact it is worthless.

A friend asked me what kind of chocolates I like and I said I still love the ones I used to eat as a child - mars bars, musketeers, milky way etc, and these are the chocolates I buy when I visit the US. ( I am currently living in Argentina). She said oh, I only buy those for my maid. I was left with nothing to say. What would you have said? Any ideas?
