I am writing a letter of interest for freelance work at a newspaper. Many cover letter examples have statements like: "I think my knowledge of the town makes me a good fit for the paper." Even though I am a journalist, my grammar isn't bulletproof. So I am wondering if "makes me a good fit for" is a correct statement. Suggestions?

Does anybody know any good natural treatments for shingles? Something you can do to ease the pain, rather than take loads of tablets or painkillers? I'm thinking along the lines of...different foods you can eat, herbal remedies, special types of body massage...!?! any genuine answers or website info appreciated.

I'm in the UK.

Who do we blame for the allowance of lead base paint toys into the country? Its obvious that those whom are entrusted to take care of the safety of our children have no concerns over the public health of our children. I know the govt doesnt care ne thing about us at all, but where are all the watch dog groups that are/were children safety advocates? The fda or who ever else was supposed to be doing the job wasnt doing the job. It pisses me off that we have spent billions on these toys throughout the years and this is all we get. We need to boycott these corporations and file a massive lawsuit against all those involved from the companies who made the toys to the ones who allowed them into the country, for I know we all have or have had these toys in our homes. Let me know your opinions. Please serious answers for we have put our kids safety in jeopardy. I am a new parent so to some extent I blame myself for not doing my research however someone needs to pay for putting our kids at risk

Debt from a school through job training back in 1999. It was just recently placed on credit and tried to dispute it, but Transunion gave an unclear answer as to why it was not removed. The answer was it is all automated. About $100 dollars was paid in total. I'm not sure how much is totally owed because I was asked the question, it's not my debt.

I need a Disney expert to give me some advice. Our family is going on vacation to Disney and I'm wondering what we need to know before we get there. We're going with 3 kids, 6,5, and 9 months, and also my parents, ages 65 and 53. None of us have ever been before. We'll be there for 7 full days (plus 1 day each for arrival and departure). We have 6 days allotted to visit 4 Disney parks, and one day for Sea World. We did not get the park hopper option, so I was thinking the trip would go something like this: 2 days MK, 2 days MGM, 1 day Animal Kingdom, 1 day Epcot, 1 day Sea World.

My specific questions are:
1. Will my children enjoy Epcot enough at this age to spend an entire day there?
2. Is 2 days enough to see the Magic Kingdom?
3. What kind of crowds will we find near the end of September?
4. How much money should we expect to spend on food, etc...each day?
5. Is there any other advice you have for a family of first-timers?

Aren't our taxes paying the teacher's salaries? We do the homework for the kids - what are they learning? They learn to get other people to do the work for them.

it has been almost a year since my wife left me. she rejected me 'n' number of times and are soon going to be divorced (after 18 mths of marriage). whenever we have a talk she talks about herself and asks me what i am doing these days. since i feel rejected i don't talk much except ask for her wellbeing.

Whenever we talk she says she came to know what i am upto from other friends and hammers me by telling i am not sharing anything with her. If she is so much concerned she can come back to me but that she doesn't want to.

Please help me know what does she want from me? how can she expect this from me?

He said he did not have adequate legal representation-oh wait he is a Senator that doesn't make sense. Then he said he put his right hand under the stall-oh wait it was the left due to the wedding band--This guy cannot make up his mind on anything. What do you think about him now trying to fight his own resignation now that he has retained Michael Vick's attorney? Could he make a decision in the senate or would he constantly change his mind??

I am probably going to go with a 2.5" hard drive enclosure but I want to make sure the laptop I buy will be able to read my old files. I've been reading that some hard drives are IDE and some are another kind (I forgot what the article said). Does it matter if they are different kinds of hard drives? Will they still transfer files? Any suggestions on a laptop for under $800 (all I need is internet, DVD/CD burner and a reasonably good video card)? Oh...and how hard is it to remove the actual hard drive from your laptop? I'm kind of worried about that part!

I've always enjoyed this one:

A guy is trapped in his house by a flood and he is standing on his porch when a boat comes by to get him.

"No," says the guy. "Thanks, but God will save me."

So the boat goes on. Then the guy is leaning out of the 2nd story window when another boat comes by:

"No, thanks, " says the guy. "God will save me."

When the third boat comes along, he has climbed out onto the roof:

"No, thanks, " he says again. "God will save me."

Finally, he is on the ridgepole with just the tiniest bit of space between him and drowning and a helicopter comes and lowers a ladder to him.

"No, thanks, " he yells above the whirring of the rotor. "God will save me."

Then he drowns.

When he gets to heaven, he asks God "Why did you not save me?"

And God says "I sent you three boats and a helicopter! What more do you want??"
