My friend is divorced . He and his ex -- wife
have a little boy . His ex -- wife keeps depending on
him for various favors .
When she had a turtle, she kept pestering him to
help her take care of it . She used to borrow money
from him, but that's over with . We don't know if
she's going to start again . She used to make him baby
-- sit her son from a previous marriage, who he
despises .
She talked him into returning a drum set, a pair
of shoes, a small dishwasher, a few movies, a bottle
of lotion, and an exercise machine over a four day
period .
When she had him return the exercise machine, she
kept him waiting for seven hours while she found the
receipt . We wound up going to her house on Memorial
Day when we didn't really want to go .
My friend thinks doing her favors and socializing
with her is inappropriate . These time -- consuming
favors and this socializing interferes with his life .
Is there a nice diplomatic way to put a stop to these
favors and this socializing ?

I don't want Windows 2000, XP, or Vista! But I do have a PC. Why can't Mac OS X run on an intel computer instead of a PowerPC?

She has an ED. Each time I've told her she's beautiful, it's actually made things worse because she says she has to keep telling herself she's ugly then. I don't know how I can help her see herself differently.

Oh please don't tell me you people are actually serious.The things that of the church shove into society make good fairy tales.

Have you ever had to install a device driver when connecting a new peripheral device to a computer? If you did, what was the device? Was the driver supplied by the operating system or by the device’s manufacturer? Thanks for your help.

I have a huge raccoon problem and I was wondering how could I get rid of the animal without calling the ASPCA or hurting it. It keeps knocking over my trashcans and I can't take it anymore. Does anyone have any advice?

do you go to your priests for confessions? The Bible says that no man comes to the Father except through Jesus...not a priest.

Hebrews 4:16 says "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Whhy then do you feel it neccessary to go to a priest for forgiveness? Honest question.

I look around at the people who attend my church and I see a guy who was formerly employed as an enforcer, another guy who owns a company worth 50M, bikers, mechanics, insurance agents.
Where did the idea that Christians are weak minded people who can't think for themselves come from?
