I have central heating radiators. I had my boiler worked on and they worked good the first day. Now they are just cold and don't do anything. All the pipes are cold. They have 2 valves on them. I have bled the system multiple times and still nothing. Now that it is going to be getting cold soon, I need them to be working. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

I worked for a bank a while ago and I had a customer come to my window and notice I was wearing a cross around my neck. He felt it was wrong that I wear something like that in public, he flat out told me he was an Atheist. So I flipped over a $1 bill and showed him "IN GOD WE TRUST"; asked him if he hated God and felt so strongly about it what on Earth was he doing here. The look of shock on his face as he walked away was priceless (he didn't even finish his transaction). However, the manager scolded me and said "to make the customer happy I should have apologized to him or tucked my necklace into my shirt..." I was astonished... what should I have done?

When I took my A levels back in 1984 the grades I obtained were AAB which I was justly proud of.

Back in those days the clever students got 3 A grades or if they were part of the elite 4 A grades.

However, nowadays to get AAB is seen as average and the clever students are getting 7 A grades (as the link below shows).

This would have been impossible back in 1984.

Does this mean that human evolution is moving so fast that teenagers now are far smarter than they were 23 years ago, or is it just because A levels have been made easier so that more teenagers can get into university?

or be concerned if the elderly cant afford to pay for their medicines and have to choose between eating and paying for them?

Or do you prefer a strict cold blooded laissez faire attitude ...and if people cant afford to take care of themselves we just let them die off somewhere or perhaps even round them up to take them off our pretty streets...so as to not mess up tourism and commerce?

Me and this girl have been friends since 9th grade, but during the 12th we got really close. She started dating a guy. Everything was good for about the 1st month and half but after that he started treating her like crap. She called me like every other day complaining and asking what should she do. she never took my advice and would just do what i told her she shouldnt. Well she put up with him for about a year. she just recently starts dating this other guy and tells me that after being with him 1 week she wants to sleep with him. I told her she shouldnt because its so early. well today she calls me crying b/c the guy dumped her and she did sleep with him. Now shes asking my what she sould do. I dont know what to tell her anymore. Im really tired of hearing all the complaining and does that make me such a bad friend?......what should i do, or tell her.

My husband works outside all day and came home with several (5-6) red spots on his calves and shins. They didn't have a raised bump, just round rosy rash about the size of a pea like thing but he said they itched. Then like a day later I got a similar spot near my elbow. It didn't itch but a couple days later a bump formed and now it does itch. Any ideas?

A girl came skipping home from school one day. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled. "We were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde," her mother replied.

The next day, the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" Yes, pumpkin, it's because you're blonde."

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "No... it's because you're 25."

I am reading a book on logic called "Possible Worlds"; Question: I assume that 2+2=4 is necessarily true, what if someone said that they can conceive of a world where 2+2=5; would this be enough to consider 2+2=4 a contingent truth? Same with square circles; how do you defend the position that circles can't be square when someone says that there could be a world (Limbo or Heaven...) where circles are square. How do you disprove such a statement? What or how do we demarcate between "All possible worlds" and the impossible?
