I am buying a home from Ryland Homes and they keep delaying the completion of it. Is it too late to back out? More specifically, I signed all of the paperwork and they already have $6000 of my money (retainer and other fees). They keep telling me to have my 20% down payment ready, but they keeping changing the finish date. They say that if I back out now, I will lose the $6000. What options do I have...or am I at thier mercy?

ok. my mom has been drinking all my life. She works eleven-twelve hours a day. So i could understand maybe having ONE beer. She gets home at about 4 pm, and she automatically starts. She never wants to drive me and my sister anywhere, and my dad is the only one who does any of that kind of stuff. The only time we really get to see her is when she is drunk. She is emotionally hurtfull, and she really needs help.
Is there anyway that I can get her sober? Oh and she smokes too :(

I think it would be great for America to have the first family throw a wedding for all the country to enjoy. The twins are awesome!

Currently I have a Intel(R) 8294G Express Chipset Family. Meaning I believe it is integrated. I have a couple years old Dell that I haven't used in a while, and I was wondering if I could just add that on into my computer without having any problems? the Dell is not integrated, just a normal card.

My organization (where I am pretty much the most senior staffer) is going through an Executive Transition after a very difficult couple of years. I was often at odds with my former boss, though he always respected me, and virtually NO ONE he worked with was happy with him. So it's been an emotional ride and I think my NGO has a chance for new possibilities and I want it to go well. How do I make sure that things start out well with the new boss?

hey.
i just wanted to let you know about a Turkish rock singer who lost his life at a car accident. he was a really talented 28 year old singer-rocker-artist. he died on the way to his birthday, after he sang for a campaign for the kids with lukemia. he staied in coma for 5 days, but the strenght i always admired in him, gave way. he was a nice guy. a sincere, funny, loving guy who devoted his life to cahrities and "PECAE" acts. (his name, Baris, means Peace)

i encourage you to listen his songs at youtube. just search "Baris Akarsu" and you will have lots of results. especially "Islak Islak"...

you will find the translation of the lyrics at the comments. and if you cant, just ask one of the people who commeted, and they will send you the lyrics...

I have a lot of old debt from a divorce over six years ago. I was able to delete a lot of it but only from one reporting agency. I'd like to clear up all three reports but when I visit their individual sites, I get offers to sign up for a service.
There has to be a way I can do this on my own. I'd really just like the old and inaccurate items removed and start working to rectify the rest.

Hi, I just started a new job where we get paid every two weeks.
The reason I left me previous employment was because money was tight and I needed to make more money.

Ok, my question is, if on my new job I get payed every two weeks, DOES that mean I have to wait a whole month to get my first paycheck? Because there has to be a waiting week on your first check, so if I get payed every two weeks does that I mean I won't get my first check until next month?

OR can I ask for a advance to pay my bills, because bills are not going to wait for the money to come in..Please answer my question..No smart remarks please..Thank You

I'm going to work for Wal-Mart D.C. making about 13/hr, which is not bad. They pay every two weeks, so I really don't want to make my bills suffer

Any suggestions

My parents, or more so my mother, basically want their children to be doctors that are wealthy and successful and will return to Vietnam to deliver salvation for all the sick and orphaned children and people. Its not like I don't want to help people, but I've dreamt of other things.

My oldest sister is an architect major. They guilt her often that she may be following her dreams but they always tell her she won't find any work. This irritates me.
My second sister just left for a liberal arts college in Pennsylvania [swarthmore!]. The very fact that they ahve pressured her so much to use her ridiculous brains to be a doctor made her not want to.
My brother is a junior in high school and is lazy. He is smart as hell but lazy. He doesn't want to be a doctor and is interested in technology.
And woe is me--I'm the last child. I'm the youngest of four and therefore obliged to fulfill my parent's dreams.

*question/rant continues*

Well, many youngsters or teenagers on yahoo answers are beggging their parents to get them a puppy when their parents can't get one.

I am just wondering, what is the age that people are mature enought to get a puppy?

I am 16 years old and I am going to get a shiba inu, i know their temperment, genetic disorders, diseases and everything. When I go to college, my parents and grandparents are going to looks after it. If its a nearby college, i will live at home.

Do you think at 16, its a bad age to get a dog? At what age are people mature enough to get a puppy?
