I am a picky eater. I don't like mangos, kiwis, blueberries, seafood, pork, ham, sausages, pepperoni, and that's only the beginning. My mother is Japanese so she always makes Japanese dishes, most which I do not like. For me she makes basically the same meals every day and I'm starting to get tired of chicken, rice, curry, stuff like that. I want something new but something I also like. Any suggestions?

I graduated with a degree in Spanish in 2000, but since then, I've mostly been working menial jobs, though for a year and a half now, I've also been working part-time as a Spanish tutor at a college. I would like to use my degree to land a better job, though, so will the fact that I have spent the last several years working crap jobs keep me from landing a well-paying job that would in which I could use my linguistic skills?

Man those were the days; when waking up at 7am on Saturday mornings were worth it. Your parents were nowhere near getting up so you had your house pretty much quiet to yourself till at least 11am.

I remember for me it was hell getting out of the house by 8am every weekday for school but I got myself up in no probelm on Saturday mornings at 7am for Muppet Babies. isn't that funny?

Anyone else remember those times?

Acts as if the turbo has suddenly gone off. A warning 'beep' is heard , then the message 'Anti polution warning' is shown on main display. When engine is switched off then after a while restarted, everything reverts to normal.
Any ideas? ( I know it may be the 'computer control')

This has been around for a bit, but I thought is was worth sharing and debating:

Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963
2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after
3. Jack Ruby, who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years later by coincidence

On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day -- every day)

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants.' Crikey, that's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland's maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay. OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital, they do.

Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. NINE. The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child -- her previous two were also born at Parkland. Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost $200 to have them in Mexico. This time, the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.)

How long has this been going on? What are the long-term effects? Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the U.S. Illegally -- now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right, she's technically a U.S. Citizen.) These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.

Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable.

Because these women are illegal immigrants they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification -- no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income -- an illegal immigrant need only claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word.

My husband is a pilot for the United States Navy (yes, he fought in Iraq) and while the health care is good, we Navy wives don't get any of these perks! Car seats? Diapers? Not so much. So my question is this: Does our public medical care system treat illegal immigrants better than American citizens? Yes it does!

As I mentioned, the care I have received is perfectly adequate but it's bare bones, meat and potato medical care -- not top of line.

Their (the illegals) medical care is free -- simply because they are illegal immigrants? Once again, there is no way to verify their income. Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the 'free' care is not so easy for Americans.)

There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County. So the hospital is going to sue them! Illegals get it all free! But U.S. citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this?

As if that isn't annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband. The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish. This was apparently a great injustice to her.

In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who speak Spanish. Additionally, medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.

For example, if you gave your lover a ring...and s/he cheated on you--would you request the ring back?

If you intended to support a friend's church, and the friend back stabbed you--would you still support the church?

How much is your good word worth...if affected by the negative actions of others?

I am a single male who wants to date women who have a shared interest. I have discovered during the last few years that I enjoy and am pretty passionate about the adult swinging scene.

So, in my effort top be honest with women I date, when is it appropriate to tell a potential mate of my desire to share this interest with my mate?

Im 15 and i have been on minocin for a few months its been working but my acne deffinatly hasnt been cured and my dermotologist gave me the choice to go on accutane after my next minocin treatment, but i was told that i would have to get regular blood tests to make sure its not harming my liver. is this absolutly neccessary or does it just depend on whos taking it. also im still only 15 and have only tryed minocin as an oral antibiotic and iv been reading about the side effects of this drug and was wondering if it is worth trying now or if i should try other antibiotics first. i have tried many thing in the past such as proactive(crap) and other creams prescribed to me by my dermotologist but nothing seems to work and i have heard that accutane is pretty much the strongest thing to take and has cured almost all of its users (with some ecceptions) of acne, my mom being one of those people and she hasnt had a pimple in 10 years.

Hubby and I argue on this. I refer to a day coming up in the

should say, 'this next week', so he'll maybe understand better?
He'll get confused all the time on what I'm trying to tell him to
maybe mark on the calender an appointment. So what are
your answers to t his dilema of ours?
