I decided to buy a bedroom set 3 weeks ago from a woman who was selling it on craigslist.org. The asking price was $750. My boyfriend and I rented a truck and showed up there to pick up the furniture...it didn't look anything like the pictures, it had paint, nicks, scratches....so I told the woman I would give her $500 cash and she agreed. About a week later I realized that I gave her $500 in an envelope and a CHECK for $250. ( I forgot to take out the check!)

Now she is emailing me saying she deposited the check and it was stopped, now her account is overdrawn and she is calling the police. My question is, can I get in trouble for this misunderstanding??

... and had to re-think the way we describe politics? Is there really only two ways to think about it? What is the value in boiling complex decisions down into a simple dichotomies? Is too much energy spent on attacking the other side instead of promoting solutions that benefit us all?

And anyone who says homosexuality is a lifestyle choice, please don't bother answering this question - you will only be demonstrating your ignorance and showing that you either don't know any homosexuals or that the ones you do know will not be open and honest with you, for good reason.

I was wondering who had a feeling they were going to have a girl and it indeed was a girl? They say that maternal instincts on your babys gender is right, so just wondering who thought it was going to be a boy or girl and they really were right???? I have a feeling I'm having a boy even though everyone tells me it's going to be a girl. My ultrasound is next Friday, so I am really anxious to know....

I had two dreams on two different days:

1) My boyfriend gave me a ring. I put it on my ring finger. Later on when I took it off my finger was tarnished with a green circle.

2) My boyfriend placed one small seed in my hand (like a pumpkin seed). I looked at it and then swallowed it. Then I saw a little girl.

A thief, in Paris , planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.
After carefully planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of petrol.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:

"Monsieur, that's the reason I stole the paintings.

I had no Monet,
to buy Degas,
to make the Van Gogh."

(And you thought I didn't have De Gaulle to post this joke!)

There's my first question of the day and it basically asked why one God would refer to himself in the plural sense. Most people answered that it was referring to the holy trinity, the father son and holy ghost. However the quotes I used come before the birth of Jesus (son) and his death (holy ghost) in Genesis of the old testemant. The trinity didn't exist until the new testament so how could that be an answer to the question?

I had an interview with a company for an open position last week. Everything went pretty smooth and I had a good feeling about it. Now, I was asked to come in again tomorrow to talk some more. At the first interview I was told that the hourly pay for the position is usually anywhere from 15 to 17 dollars depending on experience. I don't have any experience since I just finished college and haven't been able to work on the side.
If I am offered the job for let's say $15/hr, should I try to negotiate a little more even though I have no experience or should I just take whatever I'm offered? If you think I should try to get them a little closer towards the $17/hr, how should I do it?

We really want a little girl, and I do believe that there's a higher power of some sort up there, and everyone's praying for a girl too. But really, as long as the baby is healthy..I will be happy no matter what it is...

But still I can't help but wonder if praying helps......do any of you have any advice like that?

I'm at sixteen weeks and I could find out now, but I don't see the doctor again until July 9th.

She started throwing up late Monday night and we took her to an emergency clinic. She had an IV and several injections. Took her back Tuesday afternoon for more IV and more injections. She hasn't been interested in food much, but I did see her drinking a bit last night. No vomiting or diarrhea since the night she started vomiting. She had a solid bowel movement about an hr ago. She is still really lethargic, but I was able to feed her a mix of bland dog food and shredded chicken (that I cooked last night with nothing on it, no preservatives, etc.). Should I get some pedialite and try to give her that? I have an oral syringe that I've been giving her water with. My husband and I don't have children and she is our baby .

Santa in America

Santa was visiting his son who was in America for the very first time.

Santa was at a Local Food store going up and down the aisles with his son.

Santa asked, "What is this?

Santa’s son, "Powdered orange juice"

Santa a bit confused, "Powdered orange juice?"

Son: "Yeah, Dad. You just add a little water, and you have fresh orange juice."

A few minutes later, in a different aisle Santa asked again, "And what is this?

Son, "Powdered milk"

Santa, "Powdered milk??"

Son: "Yeah, Dad. You just add a little water, and you have fresh milk!"

A few minutes later, in a different aisle...

Santa, "And give a look here!! Baby Powder !! What a country, What a country!"
