Last February, my sister broke her leg while delivering papers for a local newspaper. It was 4am, 15 degrees, and there was some recent snow on the ground. By the grace of God, the owner of the house she fell in front of was in his garage smoking a cigarette. He heard her cry out, contacted me, and together we took her to the hospital. One hellacious compound fracture, one titanium rod, 2 screws, and 6 months later, the newspaper is suing her for breach of contract, because she stopped delivering papers without a 30 days notice. They will not willingly offer workman's comp, because she was an independant contractor. She was also not insured. The owner of the home had a $1000 home owners insurance "limited injury" policy. This man was a lifesaver. She and I both would feel terible suing such a man. If I had my way, I'd torch the newspaper building for being so inconsiderate, but that wouldn't solve anything. Do you have any suggestions?

does anyone know what the translation is for jennifer lopez's song me haces falta? also what does como ana uma mujer mean? it's the title of her new CD.

Ahora si te hecho de menos
Ahora que si me lo creo
Me duele vivir y pensar que elegi
en vez del cielo el infierno

Que si se extranan tus besos
Que si me muero por dentro
Me alejo de ti hacia la obscuridad
y en el fango me encuentro

La verdad estoy mal
El sufrir, es gritar

Si me haces falta
Tu me haces falta
Si te recuerdo, te extrano, te siento en el alma

Si me haces falta
Tu me haces falta
Si me arrepiento, me odio, estoy desesperada

Desesperada, estoy aqui desesperada
Ahora si te hecho de menos
Ahora si estoy hecha menos
Ahora si puedo sentir toda la soledad
que tanto y tanta?? da miedo

Que si te extrano te pienso
Que si el dolor es intenso
El sobrevivir de la batalla final
Es cruzar el desierto

La verdad, estoy mal
El sufrir, es gritar

[Repetir Coro 2x]

The major figures and demographics that comprise those who think we should pull out of Iraq includes: Spoiled narcissistic elitists who live in a fantasy world, totalitarian dictators from third world countries, and those who hate America and have publically announced its desire to destory us.
Is this significant? Seriously. Oh, I should also include Al Qaeda and its ilk to the list as well.

No matter HOW nice and sweet you think they are, they can turn on you. They can be vicious.
Many of you think "stupid/irresponsible owners" should be outlawed but responsible owners shouldn't, but accidents happen. I have had a few freinds get attacked... both are alive thankfully. If it is illegal for one man, be it for all. We are all equal.
They CAN be trained to fight. People WILL do just that. They can be aggressive.
So really, be honest: What do you think?

GW deniers are always out-debated in this section because they never provide a shred of scientific evidence to support their claims. The best they can do is to fall back on the same old debunked myths regarding GW. On the flip side, GW acknowledgers virtually always provide a plethora of scientific evidence to support their claims.

It seems to me like it would be very difficult to maintain one's denial in the face of such lopsided quality of arguments. If I wanted to remain in denial about a subject, I wouldn't expose myself to such strong opposing evidence.

Case and point - Jello asks for a short-term GW prediction:

I provide it, and he now has to find a way to maintain his denial:

I mean short of all people being perfect clones of each other with absolutely NO differences about which to fight.... under which circumstances there would need to be only one gender and humanity would promptly go extinct.


... Just why do people go wishing for world peace when there is absolutely nothing in the entire world that people will NOT fight about?

Couldn't they just win that someone would hurry up and win the wars quickly to avoid larger casualty-counts?

Okay, here's the problem. The dumba** 14 year old next door decided it would be a brilliant idea to walk over the top of my car a couple days ago. Now there are little dents on the roof in several places around the edges of where his shoes were plus a larger one (like maybe the size a baseball would make?) right above the back windshield on the roof and then some more smaller ones and one maybe ping pong ball sized on the trunk. So I'm trying to get estimates to make the parents pay for the damage. I went to a dealer recommended body shop and their estimate was about $820 because they said they would have to I guess remove the roof and trunk panels to get the dents out and then repaint them. I went to another body shop that a friend recommended and they gave me an estimate of about $385 and said they could do it by going through the interior of the roof and they didn't need to repaint. But now I've had two people say that using the cheaper way will still show where the dents were.

This is so backwards some people say that you should leave home at 18. Very reasonable(not). And then you have the side that says you have to make 16 dollars an hour to move out. I live in georgia how am I supposed to make 16 dollars an hour right out of high school.

Now I am re asking both questions.

How old should I be to move out?

and How much money do I need?

I currently make 11 an hour?

I am 25 years old, I used to have quite thick hair, but the last 6 months it has been steadily getting a little thinner. When I wash my hair or brush it excessive amounts of hair is coming out. Not huge clumps to be noticed but enough. What could be causing this?

I am over weight (not obese), my hair does go greasy often (I wash it every day), I am also getting a lot of greys....any explanations?
