About a month ago I lost my job. I was working for my aunt. I was fired. I wanted to file for unemployment, but I was told only if you're "not at fault" can you receive it. Also, I had an interview at the local courthouse. The lady called me two days later to ask if I could work full time. She hinted that I was "picked for the position", but said it takes one to two weeks for the background check, reference checks, and commissioner to sign off, and did not say it is definite. It is now Sunday, and Tuesday will be two weeks. I called a week ago and the lady once again reminded me that it takes a while. I want to call again, but don't want to nag. On the first I owe $700 and I don't have it. I applied for state aid, but that was no help. I don't have a car and rely on the bus system. I have been homeless on and off for two years and I am panicking about losing my apartment HELP!

I remember I was watching The Mike Douglas Show , my Grandmother was in the kitchen ,I remember a special report came on and the news anchor said,"Elvis Presely had died from an apparent heart attack" and I yelled to my Grandmother "Grama! Elvis died!" then later I sat in the bathroom crying, I felt and still feel so bad that he suffered like that!

I've been dating this woman for almost 2 and a half years. She is a 30 year old single mom with a 6 year old daughter. Lately, she has a lot going on. She has an issue with her ex-husband. He isn't taking care of the daughter the way he should be and she took him to court. A guardian ad litem was appointed in the case. She said that while this is court case is going on, we should take a break and just be friends. She said she wanted to take some time and needs some space because she feels that she doesn't have time to be in a relationship. She said that she doesn't want me to wait and that it's ok if I see other people. I care so much about this woman and her daughter and I don't want us to be apart. I don't know what to do. How long could this guardian ad litem take?

Optometrist pressured me to see surgeon instead of fitting me for reading glasses. Told me new prescription wouldn't help because I have cataracts. She also said it would be 3 years before insurance would cover surgery because cataracts were not bad enough. Without asking, she wrote an e-mail to the surgeon and would have sent it if she had my phone number. She finally wrote a prescription but never let me look through the lens prescribed. The only explanation I can think of for her behavior is that she has a financial incentive to send this surgeon patients. I am really uncomfortable with what happened and am considering reporting the incident to the state medical board. I see well except for eye strain when I read. She prescribed prism for the reading glasses to eliminate strain. Optician told me eye strain is not related to cataracts. Prism helps eyes converge. I have a one diopter change in my rt eye since June 2005. I plan to see optholmologist about cataracts.

We've been married over 20 yrs and I have been a closet crossdresser for about 15 yrs. I frequently joke with her that certain clothes or make-up would look good on me and she laughs, but I think she suspects that there is something more to my comments. How can I tell her that I really love women's clothes and make-up and that I would love her to dress me up and treat me like a sissy?

A treasure hunter strayed from his expetition of the deepest darkest jungle , to look around for a rumoured lost tribe (capula tribious) that idolises three gold balls... after serveral days searching, he finds a clearing, in the centre is an idol where the 3 golden balls are displayed in a triangle pattern..
He looks around see's that the coast is clear moves closer, picks 1 up (guesses the weight is 7lbs) he can carry all three so after another quick glance around, pick's them up and runs quickly but causiously across the clearing... after about 5 mins he comes across a trail, so he follows it .
Then he hears a weirdest cry from the distance behind him, guesses that someone has discovered the balls missing , suddenly comes across a bridge, an old rope bridge, next to it a sign says caution this bridge is unsafe will only take 160lb's he knows he weighs 145lb's but he hasn't got time to get across the bridge twice to take the balls...

How does he does get across in one trip...?

I bought it and realized that i didn't want the purse and asked for a refund. They told me it was too late and had already shipped the bag on a Sunday. I asked them how they managed to ship it on a Sunday. But they said that they had. They are in Singapore. I don't want the purse anymore. I think it might be fake. What should I do? Can I get a refund for the purse and shipping?

Have you ever be in love?
I haven’t.
Either do I want to.
It does not seem like a pleasant thing.
One minute,
You can feel like a hummingbird on an early Sunday morning,
Peacefully chirping away at the morning sun.
The next minute,
You can feel like one of these innocent people
That was on one of those hijacked plans
That crashed into the towers in New York City.
One minute,
You can be treated like a flower in a garden:
Always watered, always looked at, and always cared for.
The next minute,
You can be treated like the homeless person on the corner:
No money, no one to live with, never had been cared for.
One minute,
You can be Princess Diane:
Always loved, hardly ever criticize, and always been listened to.
The next minute,
You can be a cold-harded person:
Never been loved, never been called beautiful, and never been looked at twice.
From the reasons above,
Moreover, other reasons that would make this poem too long,
I do not want to be in love.

I really can stand Eric, or Dustin. Alot of America cant. So please go to cbs.com and elect Eric, America's player to elect to give jessica the silent treatment. That will really out him in a hole. I was so happy when I saw it today, and saw that america wanted to put up dustin. But was so mad when it came so darn easy to eric, because dustin said for jess to put him up out of confidence. But anyway, tell me what you all think. Thanks.

I'm kind of in a bind and have a few questions to ask -- so please answer accordingly.

I'm thinking about going to a community college first to get an associates degree;

1) How long does it take to get into a Community college? I'm about to graduate from homecshooling and getting my diploma -- the last registration/class begins is in October. Would I be able to make it?

2) How are online classes? The college campus is kinda far with heavy traffic. I don't want to have to commute every day.

3) Lastly, disregarding #2, how often does a full time student go to class (5x a week, etc) at a community college for an associates degree?

Thanks!

I have an 84 Chevy Suburban 6.2 diesel and 700r4 Trans. I came up to a stop sign, then started going, first gear went real high, and I tried to let off a bit to let it ****, but it didn't just kind of sounded like it fell out of gear, and now I have no go. I press gas, nothing happens. Park still won't let it roll, but 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th are gone. Automatic trannys are not my specialty and I'm not trained on them much, so I am curious, does this sound like a full rebuild or a shift cable or what? Thanks in advance for your advice.
