Our neighborhood is being terrorized by a teenage drug abuser whose family moved into our area recently. He had broken into 3 homes shortly after they moved in - was arrested, but now is out on bail and pretty much doing whatever he wants whenever he wants while the parents turn a blind eye. Their presence in this neighborhood is the direct result of a decision by board members of a local Episcopal church - who moved them into this area, although they were fully aware of the boy's history of drug abuse and crime. (We notice they didn't move him into any of THEIR own neighborhoods....)
We want to send an anonymous letter of formal complaint to the church board members. Not that there would be anything threatening or improper in the letter - but no neighbors want to be personally identified and perhaps draw the ire of the troubled young man and his father.
It's easy to set up a "bogus" email address....but if there is no personal information included, can it be traced?

About the Alien that a family found and he lived w/ them.
It was not animated and I think It was late 70's or early 80's.
He was a cute furry alien that always tried to eat the cat.

Three guys die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: Don't step on the ducks!"

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest woman he has ever seen. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to the ugly woman!"

The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extemely ugly woman. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first guy.

The thrid guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly woman, is very, VERY careful where he steps. He manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to him with the most gorgeous woman he has ever laid eyes on: a very tall, tan, curvaceous, sexy blonde. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The guy remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"

She says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

I'm trying to do fluids checks and changes. Need to know how much of what fluid, filters types and sizes, where check points are. Geez! This is a new much bigger engine for me and things aren't where I'm used to seeing them. I want to go from regular 10w30 to Mobil 1.

A friend asked for a favor, handing me $3,500 U.S dollars. She asked that I deposit this in the bank and wire it over to her in America (I'm currently in Taiwan). Her business dealings are shady, so i was worried the cash might be counterfeit. I took the money to a bank in Taiwan, and only half of them were accepted; the rest of the bills were either from a year that apparently had so many counterfeits that the bank doesn't even take any notes from that year. The rest of the bills wouldn't pass through the machine. Now, they didn't say the remaining bills were counterfeit, but either way, I cannot deposit them into the bank in Taiwan to wire to her.

Now, I'm going the U.S in a couple weeks, and I want to know if I try to deposit this money into my account there to wire to her, and these bills DO turn out to be counterfeit, will anything happen to me? Will they notify the police or put something on my record? Or will they simply tear up the money? Should I just mail her the money?

Ok, so you are financially independent no worries, etc. but you do not have the love of partner will the money that you have make it easier? Or financially; you only cover your basic necessities in life, but who cares? you have love in your life, a person to share your life witth. Hmmm... what would you choose?

My best friend and I are having a very meaningless conversation and we need some clarification.

(Please take into account that it is 1.20am)

I said we have a 'dint' in the wall, but he says no it should be a 'dent' in the wall.

Which would you use?

(This dent/dint is about and inch and a half wide and is indented about the width of my pinkey)

Thanks for your help!

My seven month old daughter is beginning to whine a lot and also to throw little mini temper tantrums! I am not sure how to handle this because I wasn't really expecting it until she was a bit older. It's not appropriate to discipline a baby like you would a toddler, so I don't really know what to do. It also is getting quite irritating because I'm with her all day and my extended family seems to think it is "cute"!
Mostly she does this when I need to put her down in order to complete a chore. I give her lots of attention and playtime and interact with her, but I like to think I also encourage her to be independent....I put her down on a blanket with favorite toys so she can play and I give her time in her jumparoo where she can see me for short periods of time.
This is a recent development....she only does it with me. I try to redirect her by distracting her with a different toy or sometimes I simply tell her "no" and finish up what I am doing. What do other people recommend?
