Which spouse would you PICK over the other? Guys and Girls... I want your thoughts? Why?

Is someone who is immature easier to "fix" than someone who is insecure? Or do you think vice versa? Is an insecure person likely to be controlling or is the immature person likely to cheat?

Come on people... help me think this out. Not a real issue with me or anything (or my girlfriend) but just wondering. So I am taking a poll.

Your thoughts?

No one ever said parenting was easy. I am the parent of a 13 year old girl, the youngest of 3. We found out a couple of months ago she had been smoking marijuana with her best friend. Of course the promises came that it wouldn't happen again and now it is my understanding she has been "exposed" to it again. She is telling me that her only exposure was being around people who were smoking and blowing it in her face outdoors and that is what would make her test positive. I am pretty sure that is a load of bologna. I need some confirmation that if the only exposure to pot she had was last week, outside, with someone blowing it in her face while she was talking, that it isn't enough to make the test positive. Any feedback is appreciated.

Quad. Equat. Claification please?
EXAMPLE:
1) x² +3x+1 = 0
2) [Sol] x²+3x=-1
3) (x+ 3/2)² -9/4=-1<--(The left side is changed to include the square of a ploynomial)
4) (x+3/2)²=4/5
5) x+3/2= √5/2
6) x=-3√5/2
*Writing a Quad. form equation in the form of (x-d)²=e is called completing a square*

My question is this, in step 3) where did the "3/2" and the "-9/4" come from?

We are started with the equation in step 1) x² -+3x+1 = 0 but we can't factor it, when and how do you pull out the two "fractions"?

i redownloaded my old zoo tycoon 1 game a couple days ago because i just wanted to play it and see how much better i thought zoo tycoon 2 was than it because ive had #2 for a while now but any way i had to uninstall it because two of the dinosaurs the mamoth and the sabre tooth wouldnt show up like you could buy it but not see it and it would show the name in your animal inventory but you just couldnt see them at all and some of the dinosaur eggs would wiggle but not hatch but i played it for about an hour so i deleted it because i was gonna re install it and see if that would let it be okay but now it wont let me play it and when i try to delete it it says that the file cannot be deleted and now it will come up with the options screen like do you want to play or uninstall and all that but only if you put the cd in not if you try to click on it and if it does come up you can click play but it just exits and dissapears.

I have a small business. I recently received a tax statement assessed by my county for "unsecured property tax", which includes tax on just about anything I use for my business. When I read this I could just not believe it. Is this legal? How can they tax me on my property, like my desk, or my car that I use for personal use and work? Isn't it enough that I paid taxes on all that stuff when I BOUGHT it, and the fact that I pay income taxes as well? Where do they get this stuff????

A roller coaster (420 kg) moves from A (5.00 m above the ground) to B (18.0 m above the ground). Two nonconservative forces are present: friction does -2.00 104 J of work on the car, and a chain mechanism does +3.00 104 J of work to help the car up a long climb. What is the change in the car's kinetic energy, KE = KEf - KE0, from A to B?

My husband told me he didn't love me or want the responsibility of our child. He still calls and emails just to talk about his day. Is it immature for me to ask him to stop? I don't want to be strung along and even though he probably thinks he's doing a nice thing by talking to me and checking in, it actually hurts more when he calls and writes and gives that kind of false hope. He even called to see if I knew anyone who had a pickup truck for sale and just to tell me about some physical test he passed today. I'm not saying I'm going to be bitter forever, I just need a couple weeks of space and talking to him makes me really sad because I think about all of the good times.

What would you do?
A few days ago I wrote to get advice about a man who just will not leave me alone.Thank you for the advice.?
OHHHHH! He is making me crazy and sad.Please take a peek at my question from a few days ago.I didnt have enough room to write everything here.Here are some of the things that he says to me when I break up with him.What do you think?:

Why won't you let me be your boyfriend? Why don't you want me, like I want you? Why won't you be my girlfriend? I don't understand. I just want you to want me. I just want you to touch me, to hug me, to kiss me....I just want to be with you. Why won't you let me be your boyfriend?

Why can't I ever be happy? What am I doing wrong? Why do I always have to be alone? I don't understand. What's wrong with me? Why won't you be with me? I'm so sad. I'm so very sad & alone. And you won't be with me. No one will.

I tried so hard. I really tried to be your boyfriend. I tried to be good to you. As good as I can be & I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Sonya, I'm so alone all the time. I don't want to be alone anymore. Why won't you be my girlfriend? Why can't we be happy together? I don't know what to do anymore. I'm trying so hard to be a good man. I don't know how to be better.

I wish you'd come back to me.

With love,
Kevin

I'm 19, will be 20 next march. I did not sign up for college because I didn't have the money, and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I work for Food Lion in a rural community, and I know in my heart that working for Food Lion isn't for me. Some of the people at my job said college was unnecessary. I feel like I really missed out, and most of the people I went to high school with are already starting their second year. I know I need to go to college; it has always been something I wanted to do. What would I have to do get into a good school? Can I start over and take the SAT like everyone else? I just want to feel fulfilled because this is always on my mind. Thanks a lot.

In a time when unions are outraged with Democrats for their pro-immigration policies, big labor has launched an unprecedented lobbying campaign to force workers into unions. Labor unions are supposed to protect workers’ rights, yet union bosses want Congress to pass a law that actually robs workers of their democratic right to a private ballot.

In March, the House kowtowed to the unions and passed the so-called “Employer Free Choice Act.” Today the battle comes to the floor of the Senate. Union bosses will learn that the Senate isn’t going to roll over so easily.

I was a card-carrying member of the AFL-CIO Metal Lather union in my youth, and I understand the role that unions can play. But unionization is increasingly facing organizing challenges. Unions have seen a steady decline in membership, from 16.1 percent in 1990 to 12 percent in 2006. Right now they’re less interested in seriously defending workers’ rights than they are about simply holding onto their power. It seems obvious that big labor wants to rebuild its membership rolls — and its bank account — through a forced unionization process called “card check.”

What is card check and why is it so bad? The bill now before Congress would overturn a 72-year law that guarantees workers the right to cast private ballots in union organizing elections. Card check has always been an option, if employers voluntarily choose to recognize a union that way. But this bill mandates the recognition of a labor union as the exclusive employee representative if only 50 percent plus one of the workers signs a card expressing interest in a union. It’s automatic. No discussion, no hearing from both sides on the issue, no election.

What about the views of the other 49 percent? It’s very likely they would not even know an election is taking place. Union organizers only have to solicit cards in secret until they achieve a majority. That’s not a free and fair election. By voting in union-organizing elections, you are consulted about a decision that will require you to pay potentially thousands of dollars a year in union dues and may require you to support union actions, including strikes. Yet under this so-called “Employee Free Choice Act,” it is possible for nearly half of the workers to have no voice at all.

This isn’t about workers’ rights. This is about intimidation. Consider the pressure you would be under to sign a card if your coworkers asked. Workers and their families can be harassed at home, at church, at the shopping mall. A former union organizer testified before the House Education and Labor Committee that many workers “signed the card simply to get the organizer to leave their home and not harass them further.” Pressure often escalates to include threatening phone calls, vandalism, stalking, and even violence. In one 2004 case, a worker in High Point, North Carolina, who dared to oppose the United Auto Workers’ card check campaign, needed 24-hour security posted at his home.

The only protection workers have to exercise their freedom in union elections is the private ballot. A choice made under duress is no choice at all — it’s coercion.

A private ballot allows workers to make a decision without the union organizers, coworkers, or the employer looking over their shoulder. An employer wouldn’t know if you voted for the union, and the union wouldn’t know if you voted against the union.

Ironically, the bill’s supporters agree that secret ballot elections for unionization are a good thing — in Mexico! In August 2001, eleven cosponsors of the House card-check bill sent a letter to the Mexican government urging the adoption of secret-ballot elections as a basic right for Mexican workers for the very reasons we should protect this right here in America. Go figure.

Let’s be very clear that no one is denying the right of workers to organize unions. Unions, in fact, won more than half of the federally supervised organizing elections held in the last year. The right to join a union by secret ballot is time-honored. It is a right I exercised when I chose to be a card-carrying member.

But the right to decide by private ballot is fundamental in our democracy. Without it, union organizing is just legal conscription.

The Senate must stand up for American workers by defeating this bill.
