We were born in TX and moved to OR when I was 11 and he was 4. I moved back to TX in 2003 after being laid off. My brother came with me and we stayed at my grandmother's until I could find a place. We moved out and my brother moved back to OR because he couldn't find a job and didn't have transportation. Unfortunately TX has poor bus service, especially if you live in the suburbs. However, OR has an excellent transit system for just about anywhere you live. My brother has decided to move back to OR (after being fired from his job 2 weeks ago) and will be leaving this Friday. I am so crushed. We are very close and he is one of my best friends. We do everything together. It has not been confirmed that he is gay, but he is kind of like the girlfriend I never had. He helps me shop for furniture, decorations, clothes, etc. and he always listens to me and he never judges me. My husband and I have a terrible relationship. We are working on things, but I get no companionship.

Do you come here to bash the other side, to get some insight on how the political system works, or to get a good laugh at how stupid people really are (both the right and the left)?

I'm confused about this big arms deal with Saudi Arabia. They won't lift a finger to help us in Iraq yet we make sure they get our very best military hardware that could be used against Israel or us at a future date. Does this make sense to you? Is this as bad or worse than trading nuclear technology for mangos? What this administration needs is a good used car salesman working their deals instead of the idiot doing it now, don't you think?

I am a contractor and i feel like i got cheated at small claims court. The lady, a former customer, sued me for 1276 and won. The issue is that she works at the small claims office and i feel this influenced the judge's actions. He didnt pay attention to the contract, cut me off when i spoke, and awarded more money than was due. What can i do? I know i can appeal within 10 days, can i get it moved to another court? Would an attorney take such a small case? Any help would be appreciated!!!

I was in discussion today with a friend who keeps tropical fish. It came to the subject of Marine fish and Brackish fish. Although I do understand some Brackish fish can live with Tropical Fish, but I I am absolutely certain that NO MARINE fish can live with tropical fish or Brackish fish? Or could they? Can anyone clear this up for me please and would be so grateful for a list of brackish fish or Marine fish which may live with tropical fish. THEN I CAN SHOW MY FRIEND! many thanks you are all very wonderful x

Okay, I would rather the radicals not answer this question but that is dreaming. To all Liberals and Conservatives. Honestly please. Do you REALLY agree with EVERY view on your side and DISAGREE with EVERY view on the other side? Or is it just the major points? I can agree with some views from both sides. Am I in the minority like it seems?

If god loves us so much, why does he make us suffer with disease and death everyday of our lives? and if he loves us so much, why does he send people to live in hell FOREVER?! isn't that harsh?

I think it will be Clinton as the nomination, but I don't see her picking Obama.

I see it being Richardson.

I've read a lot here on R&S about how cristhian apologetics are not credible.
One argument that got my attention was the one about Lee Strobel. He is suposably not credible because he is vey partial in his books and never interviews anyone who disagrees with him.
Is that good enough for all of his books to be discredited? I mean, he does interview only authorities on the subject. Also if the answer to the question is yes, than i can easily just toss all of Dawkins arguments in the trash either: He is partial, his books are clearly biased and he does not present alternatives points of view in them.
Personaly, i believe Dawkins has great arguments, he is a great scientist.
So i don't believe just denying what Christian apologetics write is a good or valid counter argument or a rational point of view.

I'm very interested in all opinions!
Please try not insulting anyone, insulting only shows ignorance ok?

Paz de Cristo

I get so bloated when I'm pregnant that it actually makes me feel sick and I don't want to eat. I try taking Beano with my food, or Gas-X later, but nothing helps. I drink plenty of water and eat healthy things like grilled chicken or cereal or fruit and still get really bloated.

Please help. I feel so yukky and uncomfortable. Any other remedies you know of?

I was looking for bugpatches which are supposed to keep bugs that look for ones blood away from you and this method have been effective in Australia for 50 years but recently I saw this advertised in USA but because I do not live there it is rather hard for me to get those patches and do not have much time to get them and I live in a country that is highly conserative in many things and one can not get them here and also it cost a fortune to import it because of greedyness that seems to be a part of this system here and the taxes are far to high to deal with you never know what they are going to charge you. Anyway I wanted to know if there are possibilities to get those patches without receipt because they are just natural products and highly protective and also if they were to be found without receipt in Scandinavia which have lots of bugs that irritates people but i am on my way to Philippines with stop over in Sweden. And thanks for previous answeres.
