I'm not asking about Bush specifically, and I'm aware that it is within their authority to appoint whomever they want; that isn't what I'm asking. What I am asking is YOUR personal feeling about Presidents (in general) appointing their friends to be cabinet members. Do you think they are able to remain objective about the friend's job performance, or do you think cronyism is a big problem in American politics?

Again - I AM NOT TALKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT BUSH; I AM TALKING ABOUT ALL U.S. PRESIDENTS.

had already been divorced and seperated on the grounds of my ex unreasonable behaviour and violence. He put me in Hospital for 6 weeks,during that time he got a residence order I am told he should have never had without my solicitor or myself present. But all I got from the court is that the children had been moved it would cause more damage to move them back, my ex also managed to obtain a 3 bedroom council house at this point also as he had been living in a room since I had thrown him out of our home 6 years previously, as he had not supported us emotionally or financially in anyway. Infact he also stole money from my 8 year old childs bank account, which had been put there by a relative for her future. The police said because he had taken her and she had signed their was nothing they could do, even though she was under 16.
I went through so much with this man now he has stolen my childrens childhood knowing I can have no further children and totally brainwashed my children .?

3 1/2 years ago, we got "digital cable", and didn't like it, nor the cost. The cable company told us to give back the cable box, so we arranged a time for them to pick it up and left the cable box on the doorstep, which was picked up. We opted for regular cable, and was billed for the next 3 1/2 years like nothing was wrong, or that we owed any money for this box.

We just recently canceled our cable, and now our cable company says they never picked up our cable box, and that we owe them $200. Remember, this is 3 1/2 years after we supposedly had this box. I've called them probably five times now, and someone says they'll have a manager call me back, that never happens. I've even gone in person to the local business office, spoke with someone, where I was promised again to have someone call me back about this, still no call back.

I'm out of ideas, and now I have a collection agency on my case for the $$. How can I "make some noise" so someone can fix this problem?

Thanks!

My polite and humble Question was

"Tom Cruise is jumping on Oprah's couch begging everyone to follow scientology, What will you tell him?"

The best answer i chose,
"Mission Impossible,Tom"

No sense of humor. End result, Pissed off scientologists.

Are there FUNDIES in every religion???

I was going through a change in my life and needed a break from relationships and brushed off this guy who was really interested in me. Now, I can't help but constantly think about him. Why am I feeling this way and how do I start talking to him without losing some credibility?

My 4 yr old daughter was an only child until her sister was born 6 months ago. We've definitely spoiled her with material things, but I always felt that I was pretty tough on her otherwise. Still, she refuses to do anything that she doesn't want to do. She screams at the top of her lungs and tells me that she is not going to to do whatever I'm asking her to do at the time. We've tried rewarding her for good behavior and punishing her for bad behavior in the form of timeouts, loss of toys, going to bed early, etc. I don't believe in capital punishment for my family and will not budge on that issue, but I'm open to any other suggetions. Do other 4 yr olds act like this? What do I do?

What do I do. I called Animal contol and there is nothing they can do since it is a stray. The kittens just started walking around the yard & the mother cat kicks my pugs but daily. She jumps on her back and hisses, very mean. I need to get rid of these cats but am afraid I will get bitten by the mama. What should I do? Oh yes, my daughter wants a kitten. Can it be tamed since they are strays?

ever seen anything like this?

I've heard of people doing this at all you can eat buffets, but this guy had no shame packing the hamburgers into his backpack so he could stock up and eat them later.

Not to mention, the sweltering heat .... nasty!

Have you ever seen anyone do something like this?

Why is it that when you support your country, support your president, and support the mission of our troops in in Iraq, there's always some idiot demanding that you stop hiding behind your keyboard and join the military to go fight on the front lines? But complaining, bytching, and moaning doesn't require you to do a friggin thing! If you use this logic, does that mean that if you support gay marriage you should run out and marry somebody of the same sex?

Petty. Ive been asking for my belongings for 4 months now and nothing. My wonderful ex boyfriend can't seem to make the time to either A: pack my stuff and set it out his front door. B: let me pack my own belongings. or C: take my stuff to a neutral zone so we can exchange it or leave it at a friends house for me to pick up.
I have brought law officials into it but I don't have proof that those things are indeed, mine...so I can't do small claims court.
But that isn't what is bothering me. What bothers me is WHY he is refusing me what is rightfully mine even though he makes more than the average American per year, is 23 years old and can afford his own stuff!!!. We were each other's first loves and moving in together was a first time for the both of us. Our breakup was about a 10 on the rick tor scale, it wasn't good. Is he trying to hold onto my memory? Is he waiting for the right time? or is he trying to mess with me, knowing that my stuff in his possession is going to eat @ me?

I have Precious Moments dolls, some probably discontinued and should be worth more that what was paid. They are in the original boxes with the papers they came with. They have porcelain hands, feet, and faces, and most are approximately 12+" tall.

I'm already 33 and I never learned to eat veggies.
The only veggies I can eat are potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, garlic and onion if you can call them veggies at all.
I only eat chicken, pork, beef and shrimps. No fish, other seafood... not much fruits either. The only fruits I can eat are mangoes, watermelon, cantaloupe...
I love breads, pizza, and pasta, especially sweets.
Are there any supplements I can take to make up for the veggies and fruits I don't eat? Thanks. I'm only 33 but already feeling a lot of bad things in my body.
