I am a 24 year old in California that is currently unemployed. I am a full-time student and have less than $1,000 coming in every month. I have around $15-$20k in unsecured credit card debts that I have not payed for 6-12 months. I also have a secured car loan of $25k, but fortunately, am able to pay that every month on time. I get phone calls everyday, but have ignored all of them. Since my credit has gone down the drain, should I still ignore those phone calls and have my debt written off? Or should I try to speak with the creditor/collection agency and attempt to repay it? Should I consult with a debt consolidation agency? Lastly, should bankruptcy even be an option for me? I would be appreciative of any advice given...thank you!

I want to consolidate all my credit card payments…. They are becoming overwhelming... has anyone heard of this company (ww.FreshStartAmerica.com)?

Are they a legitimate company?

They say they will negotiate my payoffs… I send them the money and they will pay my creditors…

I am 32 years old with high blood pressure and obesity. I just started a new job (a small employer- only 3-4 employees), and we all desperately need health insurance.

Kaiser wants to charge me $550 per month for my single policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only earn 900 per month. If I go with Kaiser, I will only be taking home about 90 dollars each week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is absurd and unconscionable.

I guess that Kaiser has a legal right to charge people whatever the hell they want to, but it's immoral. Wouldn't you agree?

That high of a cost for health insurance is ludicrous.

So this window is x by 2x with a semicircle at the top. What is the function that represents the semicircle? I can't get beyond *pie*x^2/2. I know it's wrong I just don't know how to make it right. Any takers?

I've heard several people refer to it as such. I'm just wondering, has anyone else ever heard that before?

I have a 7 month old and I am not sure how much I should be feeding her solid foods. She eats 2 solid meals a day 5 tablespoons each following a 6-8 oz. bottle. Rest of her meals are her bottles. Should I feed her more solid foods and how much? She doesn't have teeth yet. Any kind of sample feeding schedule would be helpful.

Does this mean he will most likely develop diabeties as he ages into his 50s and 60s? What if he lost some weight and kept it off with regular diet and exercise, would that prevent him from ever developing diabeties, or is he doomed genetically to succomb to this sooner or later no matter what he does to prevent it. This is of course, if indeed being glucose intolerant translates to meaning that it is the first step to becoming diabetic. Right now, I don't even know what being glucose intolerant means, so if someone could please clarify. Thanks!

I see this claim made sometimes, usually by theists of the christian persuasion. I have asked for evidence but so far received none.

Personally I don't feel like I have to worship anything. Is this a feature of the theist mindset?

many protestants contend that all sin is equally offensive, but that would ignite the loics that all good works would be equall glorifying....

and i believe it was said "everyone will be paid according to what they have done"....and will be rewarded differently..

so, why would it make sense for there to be levels of charity and "heaven" so to speak.....but not levels or degrees of evil and sin???

My son was born with bicuspid aortic valve which has developed a leak. He is now on enalipril 2x per day to decrease the afterflow and buy some time before he has to have surgery, but the doctor has discussed our options and we basically have to choose when it comes down to it, whether we go with a valve repair, or valve replacement and if we do replacement we can do mechanical or donated valve or The Ross procedure. And he will probably be under 5 yrs old when this needs done, (he's 2 now) so I would like to keep him off of coumadin (blood thinner) so he can play sports in school if he would like. But I also want to do what is the best for him long term. Any advice would be helpful. thanks
