My nephew (14) and his siblings are being raised by their grandparents. The grandparents have money and are able to afford anything the kids need or would like to do. The problem is the 14 year old. He gets in these major mood swings (bipolar) and they can't handle him. He wants to live w/ other family, but no one has the room for him and they would have to take legal custody of him. He says that he is not bipolar and he is not taking any medication! They have already had him on medication once and he quit taking it. They don't know what to do with him and I have no suggestions either. Would anyone have any suggestions about this situation? (His dad died last year and his mom can't take care of him).

I'm doing some research for several different projects. I need help finding some good sites or books to do this.

1)Institutions, asylums,etc from the first half of the 20th century and before. I need information on what they were like, treatments, and who was sent there. Also, if you have any local ones that are still around, atleast the building and know some history on it, that would be great!

2)Magic. I'm looking for some sort of black magic, voodoo, whatever that people would have used before 1950 (going as far back as necessary) that would supposedly, somehow, bring together past and present. Or present and future. Not necessarily time travel, but more of an awareness through dreams, psychic visions or something.

3)Medicine, herbal remedies, home remedies etc. What I'm looking for is something used in the first half of the last century that people would have used to cure an illness but in reality the medicine was harmful. No, I'm not planning on using this.

why are people asked to specify their race when they want to register their kids in a school in the USA? Who cares . The thing is some people can't check mark any of the option given because they just don't fit in any category . Is asking people colour for school is hiding a kind of discrimination?

This is the last year of his contract with the Chicago Bears. Will he guide them to the playoffs again? and if not will Chicago resign him?

I honestly don't believe the Bears will go back to the playoffs with Grossman as the starter.

I know people who have gigabytes of music. Im thinking they must not be very picky, they just download whatever. I want to increase my own very limited music collection, how do I start building a music collection that large?

There were these twins, Jim and John. Jim was the owner of an old dilapidated boat. It just so happened that John's wife died the same day Jim's boat sank.

A few days later, a kindly old woman saw Jim and mistaking him for John said "I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You must feel terrible."

Jim, thinking she was talking about his boat said "Fact is I'm sort of glad to be rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning. Her bottoms was all shriveled up and she smelled like an old dead fish. She was always losing her water, she had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. Every time I used her, the hole got bigger and she leaked like crazy.

I guess what finally finished her off was when I rented her to these four guys looking for a good time. I warned them she wasn't very good, but they wanted to use her anyhow. The fools all tried to get in her at once and she split right up the middle"

The old woman fainted.

perhaps they can throw in Ashcroft, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Hasstert, Rove, Inhofe, Cunningham, and Hunter while they're at it!

do you honestly and truthfully believe that you would/could cheat on them?

If you do commit adultery, does that show a possibility that you truly don't love them by inflicting that kind of pain on someone?

If your spouse cheated on you, would it make a difference to you if it was a 1 night stand (sexual encounter) or a long standing affair?

Could you look past it & forgive them, even if you knew that it was a long standing affair, or is that unforgiveable?

If you felt like this was the person you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, have children & raise a family with, grow old with, could you do it? Even if there were problems between you, problems that could be fixed (no abuse, violence or prior adultery), would you look outside your marriage for answers?

Do you think that some people commit adultery as a way to irrevocably destroy a marriage?

I know this isn't just 1 question, but your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time

Do they like one other, are they jealous of one another, or do they just detest one another?

I wish they would compromise and run together, I think that they would have better chances of defeating the Republicans, and Edwards, I don't want Edwards to win...

Another one I’ve seen is that if an archeologist finds a piece of pottery in the ground and determines that it’s thousands of years old then this somehow proves that the universe has a creator and of course that creator is the Christian god because all other gods are just plain ridiculous. I just don’t get. All this proves to me is that a thousand years ago, some guy made a piece of pottery. End of story. Am I missing something?

I think that he will, but I was just wondering what others think. And just because you don't like him isn't a reason to say no.
