I am an average 61 year old guy with average income and just had a quadruple bypass surgery. The surgical team was excellent. The cardiologists were excellent. The other doctors and nurses were excellent. The hospital facilities were excellent. My insurance company has stepped up to the plate and paid for all the major expense items. My medications are state of the art and my co-pay is about five bucks a prescription. I hear the extreme rich and extreme poor complain but why should I be unhappy about health care?

Since the definition of poverty does not include the effect of government sponsored income benefits like tax credits, food stamps, and medicaid? Regardless of how much the government gives, they will still be considered poor...

Randy Alcorn wrote a book tited 'Lord Foulgrin's Letters'. There may have been a sequel, I have forgotten. This book is available on audio tape also. The book is similar to C.S. Lewis' book 'Screwtape Letters'. It traces the attempts of the devil to entrap and enslave human beings. Very clever, even quite funny as the devil continually is foiled. What did you think of this book?

Have you ever been "the coolest person in the room"? Whether you actually are cool or not, were you ever in a situation when you thought to yourself that you were, without a doubt, the coolest person in the room? Was the place you were in so completely full of nerds and geeks that it was easy, or did you do something awesome to "out-cool" all of the other cool folks? Tell me your cool story, all in good fun, of course.

I recently asked a question about making a law banning smoking in homes with children and was appalled to get so many smokers worried about their rights. Do they not have TV, internet, newspapers? All the facts are out there. Do they really think they can sit there and not agree that smoking causes so many serious conditions in everyone most importantly children that can’t escape it? It makes me sick to my stomached to have to give children breathing treatments everyday and know that the parent is smoking in the home knowingly doing this to their children and I’m suppose to mind my own business? I don’t get it. I would love to here a real answer and not a selfish, immature answer about America is a “free” country. Free for whom? Not these kids that can’t tell us we are killing them by exposing them to smoke day after day. Please explain to me how this is not child abuse?

Reports said he did, but Owen said he'd rather have a quiet recovery period without the media hyping up the news of his "attempted suicide".

Well my gran has just died and i suppose I'm coming to terms with it but it's my grandad I'm worried about. He's okay I suppose because well we could see it coming - she was in hospital most weeks. But any he's got diabetes and goes into a hypoglycemic coma about three times a year which is apparently quite a lot. When he went into one it was okay because my gran could phone 999 quite easily and so it was never fatal. But now she's gone who's going to phone? And because you can't actually tell you're going into one then emergency cords would be useless. So what I'm really trying to say is that there has got to be more than just my grandad witht his and how do they alert someone when it happens? otherwise he could die and I'm not going to let happen! And as we're living in Germany he won't live with us. He won't live with anyone come to it because he's too independent. So please help. Thankyou

I go in to check on her during the night and she is completely naked (just the two of us live together).

I put her clothes back on.....go back and check on her later....and ALL her clothes are back off. Why does she do this?

I’ve liked this girl for some time now, and it was recently her birthday and I went beyond what normal people would do (like write on her myspace blog) and I sent her an ecard. She wished me happy bday 3 times (text/wall/free gift) so I thought this would be okay. I haven’t told her directly I like her but she did tell me few months ago that she just wanted to hang out as friends, but even then I sometimes got the feeling she may be interested, even a tad…or it was friendly. I rarely see her.

I sent her a great ecard for birthday last week but I haven’t heard from her, and I think she is ignoring me now due to this action. I heard actions speak louder than words, is it real bad that she knows that I most likely like her now? Some people tell me if she never knows you may regret it later. Thanks.

Ps we went 1 month without talking before her birthday so its not like I’m ‘chasing’ her like I’m obsessed, I’m just attracted to her personality.

However, when I play the same DVD on my other player, and my computer's players, it plays just fine. Could it be that the one DVD player needs cleaning?
