my sons dad has recently tried to return to his life after a long period of time. he didn't pay child support or anything. my son is 14. he does not want to see or have anything to do with him because of it. his dad wants me to force him to go or set up a meeting between them. my son says he does not want to see him period. do you think i should force him to go?
my son does not respect him at all he will not call him his dad but rather by his first name. this upsets his father greatly but my son says he is not his dad, he is his father and there is a difference

I am expecting my second child and I am 34 weeks pregnant. I had my first child by C-section because my contractions got weak and the baby was under stress. Now,I got a different doctor,because we moved in another State. Well,as this morning,he left the choice to me. I can schedule a C-section or I can try Natural birth. I am so confuse, I am going crazy and of course I am afraid too. Any help and/or suggestion would be appreciate. Thank you

I've been looking into getting a cell phone, but I'm not sure which to choose. Everyone I've talked to has a diffrent opinion about which provides the best service. I'm thinking either nextel, or verizon. Any thoughts? I just don't want to sign a 2 year contract and be stuck with crappy service.

Should men display their emotions that way, or it is only OK for women?

Does it depend on the situation?

Thanks!

We can see the impact that humanity has made on the earth by looking at any of the thousands of great cities we have built, but would the majesty of our planet be any more brilliant if we humans had never existed?

Ok i work in for a retailer that sells alot in the way of computers,hard drives etc etc. I live with a guy from work who is on his way to management eg he already has all manager access and keys to everything.
Last week i found 3 external hard drive boxes with a hole in each and the hard drive removed dumped in the area i coordinate, so as per procedure i take them to the managers and report where i found them. The sale value of the three hard drives is $1000, we also had a notebook $1500 stolen 2 weeks ago.
While walking home tonight my housemate told me he left a returned notebook id processed at the service desk for 2 days at which point i said "dont do that theyll blame me if it goes missing", at this point he blurts out " i took all that stuff" and when i said "WHAT" he was all sheepish and walked faster.
This obviously left me feeling very uncomfortable and in an awkward situation, i am totally against theft!! what do i do? do i report him?

Hello, I live in the state of TN. A former landlord has served us with papers referencing back rent and damages, as well as lawyer fees. I have a few questions because I am not at all familiar with the court procedure or what to do.

1. Is it legal for him to include his lawyer fees in the amount he is seeking in the state of TN? I had read something that stated it wasn't, but that may have been inaccurate or referring to another state.

2. If we owed him appx $100.00 dollars when we moved out, but he kept our entire deposit which was $650.00, how can he be suing us for "back rent"?

3. The house was incredibly damaged when we moved in, including light fixtures being torn from the ceiling and an incredible roach infestation that we had to deal with until we moved once the lease was up. Unfortunately we did not take pictures due to our inexperience in these matters. The point being that any damage done to the house was far before we moved in, and I don't think he can have "proof" that we caused any of it. We had asked him multiple times to fix certain things, such as our back door coming completely away from the frame of the house and having to be pushed back in every time we used that door, which he never did fix. Can we be charged for these "damages" with no proof?

4. The papers filed against us gave no specific dollar amount or damages he is claiming. I thought that any papers served had to have the specific amount and damages that he is seeking. Is that correct? The total just says "less than $25,000.00", which I am assuming is the small claims limit.

5. I also read in several documents that he is required to mail us notification of any damages he asseses as well as the amount he estimates will be necessary to fix them before taking us to court, which he never did. These papers are the first we have heard of him since we moved out over a month ago. He also never sent us any documentation about what our deposit was specifically used for, since we did not receive any of it back. He also never provided the location of his seperate deposit account in which he keeps tenant's deposit money (as I read he is supposed to in the Landlord/Tenant act). Can I bring this information up in defense?

6. Despite having our phone numbers as well as the last known mailing address, we never heard from this man. I also read that he is supposed to make an effort to collect anything he feels he is owed, a "demand", before pursuing legal action. As I said before, this is the first we have heard from him. Is this also something I can bring up in defense?

I know this was an incredibly long post, but in short this guy is basically a slum lord. With the papers being so vague, I almost get the impression he tries this with most of his tenants when they leave. I really hate to give this guy anything whatsoever after living in complete misery for over a year. Is it not enough that he kept our whole deposit? I don't understand what damages and fees he could have assessed that would have amounted to more than $650.00 that he could find us responsible for. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

A young female teacher was giving her class of six year olds a quiz "behind
my back I've got something red, round and you can eat it. what is it?" she
asked. "an apple" replied little Raymond "no," said the teacher " it's a tomato
but it shows your thinking." "I've now got something round, a greenish colored
you can eat it." "An apple," replied little Ian "No it's an onion, but it shows your

something under my desk that's an inch long, white and it has a red end."
"Dirty little boy," said the teacher "No it's a match, but it shows you were
thinking," he answered.

it's just i have heard so many things about how cancer rates are rising rather than lowering. and the treatment industry takes billions of pounds/dollara per year. I AM NOT APPEALING OR REFERRING TO ANIMAL RIGHTS CAMPAIGNS. i simply want to ask if anyone has any opinions on whether our current methods and practices of cancer treatment are misguided, and perhaps only continue due to all the money and vested ineterests poured into current practices. perhaps it iwould be impossible by now to admit we are doing things wrong...has anyone heard any stories or has any real opinions on this? i do not agree with animal experimentation, but that is a whole other issue and this cancer thing is unrelated. i am talking about regardless of animals, is our approach at best wrong and at worst fraudulent???

We have never even spoken to each other but they do things that aggravate my family. They are loud and disrespectful not to mention their kids get into our mail box. Can you put a restraining order on a neighbor just because you don't like them or does there have to be some sort of threat involved?
