Health Care: can you answer the following 4 Q's?

1) How much do you pay for health insurance per year (if provided by employer you are still technically paying since it is part of your compensation)?
2) What type of coverage is it (full coverage, catastrophic, individual, family, HMO, PPO)?
3) Is that more or less than what you paid in 2006 federal income tax?
4) The June 2007 US labor force was estimated at 153+ million workers, if each worker paid what you pay for health insurance to create a non-profit consumer co-op funding the exact insurance program you receive, would our national health care be better or worse off?

*My employer pays my health insurance ~$10K/yr for full coverage family plan PPO, slightly more than my federal income tax, slightly less than all payroll and income taxes put together. This would amount to over $15.3 Trillion to cover the 153+ Million workers and their families.

Are rats the landlord's responsibility?

Hi, I recently moved into a ground floor flat, the landlord owns the whole building. There's a fire escape which comes down into a small communal yard which is outside our living room window, and kitchen door. Our housemate has seen a rat there during the daytime (I heard this was a bad sign and might mean there are quite alot nearby?) The lease says nothing about who's responsibility pests would be, but I'd think it'd be in the landlord's best interests to get rid of rats because of the damage they could do. Is there any kind of law that says rats in communal areas are the landlord's responsibility to get rid of or that they have to get rid of them to provide decent living conditions? The landlord seems a bit old and confused and also rather stingey so I'm just asking this incase we explain about the rat and he doesn't do anything.

left out of her own family!?!?

recently some of my family went to europe. we all went over to their house to look at photos and discuss their trip. it turns out my aunt and uncle bought presents for my two of my three younger cousins. the two boys recieved wonderful presents. the girl however didnt recieve one. my aunt and uncle never apologized they just said they "didnt have enough money for presents for everyone" but they could have easily not spent los of money on two outlandish presnts for the boys and have gotten each child a small gift. the little girl didnt seem upset, she smiled and watched her cousins recieve their presents but she did look a little hurt to be left out. i felt horrible for her and wondered why she had been left out? has anything like this happend to your family?

Muslim women who share their husband with another woman?

May I ask a few questions if you don't mind

1) Be honest we are women and perhaps the most jealous of the two genders. Do you often get jealous and wish the other wife or the other two or three would vanish?
2) If you were the first wife did your husband tell you that he was seeking another woman and ask for your view and opinon. If not how did that make you feel? If you agreed to it, why did you?
3) And finally one for the men who have more than one wife. I know it is Islamically permissible, but why have you chosen to remarry? Do you not think of the emotional consequences it has on women or do you simply not care.

I know there are loads of questions but I'd really appreciate it if you could answer them all. Jazak-allahu Khaar.

The Mariners came close to acquiring.... Mark Loretta?

The Mariners, who lost out on all of the pitching that interested them, had their final pre-trading deadline talk not about a pitcher by about an infielder.

Seattle came very close to getting the Astros to part with Mark Loretta, sources say.

General manager Bill Bavasi said the club was close on landing a position player just before time expired. He wouldn't be more specific, but it was learned later that Loretta was the player the Mariners were trying to pry loose.

It was going to be a sweet deal if it went through, because the Mariners weren't having to give up any minor leaguers they consider their top eschlon.

He's primarily known as a second baseman, but he's played three dozen games both at short and second this year in addition to 18 games at first and third. He's hitting .294, just four points under his career batting average.

Whats up with that? Where would Loretta even fit? We have the best defensive MI and great corners, Not to mention Vidro's been great! Ugh Bavasi...

people in your life that are difficult to deal with (sensitive, bitchy..etc.)?
It is really up to other people to accommodate them? And be careful around them? Sounds like a lot of work.
