I am an 18 year old in my second year of university. I live at home with my dad (I commute to and from uni everyday). I also live with my older brother (21) who is literally allowed to do as he pleases..with no stress from dad. I, on the other hand, must be home by a certain time, can't spend the night at my boyfriend's, have to run everything by him... and he always gives me talks about how I need to be more careful. I need some freedom. This is driving me insane. He was never like this before I started dating someone, and now he's afraid I'm going to become a pregnant drop out on drugs or something. I have always been very careful and responsible and he has no reason to be so worried...other than I'm his little girl. My best friend and I have been talking of moving in together. Do you think it's a good idea? I'd have to take out a student loan, which my parents would give me grief over, I'm currently debt-free... I don't know what to do...

In my opinion, this is the tastiest beverage that any beverage-maker has ever produced. For those of you who can't find it in your stores, here is how you can MAKE IT YOURSELF... and never again be without it ---

Take a 20-oz empty soda pop bottle.
Fill it 2/3 full (usually to top of label) w/Pepsi.
Top off (other 1/3) with A&W Cream Soda.
(The flavor of cream soda is vanilla.)
(Buy both beverages in the 2-liter size, for best savings.)

The resulting beverage is IDENTICAL in flavor to Pepsi Vanilla! (But be sure to use A&W Cream Soda to achieve that result. Store brands don't measure up. I've tried that.)

Know what's really hilarious about this? By stopping the production of Pepsi Vanilla in so many places, those who make it themselves spend only 2/3 of their money on Pepsi, and the other 1/3 on a product of one of Pepsi's **competitors**. Previously, ALL of the money spent went to Pepsi!

Pepsi Vanilla lovers -- enjoy! Now you will NEVER have to be without it again!

It's Ken Livingstone's (Mayor of London) latest move to relieve traffic congestion.
We all know that he's friendly with the IRA.
We know he's friendly with Libyan Bombers.
We all know that he hates the Middle-Class:
And all the cars that have been blown up are MIDDLE-CLASS GAS GUZZLERS.

I think he's got a bunch of bitter and twisted Traffic Wardens (not hard to find) and they sneak about the place, targetting Toffee-nosed Middle-Class school-run Mums in "Chelsea Tractors"
What do you think?
BTW just got a violation for the Israeli car-bomb joke!

It's about a dog that I really care about. She sometimes's pisses blood. The other day I was playing with her(she's not my dog, but a dog that I have a close bond to.) I snuck up on her like I usually do and this time she yelped in pain and bit me. I think she has pain in her lower back and legs. She also pees every few hours or she'll piss indoors. I asked how log she's been like this and found out it was like this for 3 years and she dosnt even have a vet. I brought up the vet and my suggestion was deemed as bullcrap.


Anyway.
I want to know what's wrong with her because I really love this dog.

Or are you the type of person who notices your flaws as well as the flaws of other people? Anyway this will be my last question until later as I'm getting ready to go to the last Mass of the day and then watch some football when I get back.

Where I live, it is the law that you have to own a gun. In a city in Vermont, it is illegal to own a gun. That city in Vermont has a high crime rate. Where I live, we have one of the lowest crime rates in the country. In my opinion, I think it is great to be required to have a gun. Also, I love deer hunting and just shooting guns in general at the shooting range.

So, what is your opinion and why?

btw, this isn't my homework, I really want to know some other viewpoints.

My husband, daughter, two grandsons age 4 and 5 booked two nights at Valley West Inn, and had a dangerous thing happened in the swimming pool which my two grandsons could have gotten hurt, my husband complained to the front office, and they wouldn't do anything about it, so we decided to check out after only being there for a couple hours, and the person in charge said that our credit card would be credited for both nights, will two months later still have not seen any credit on my credit card, so who do I contact, they do not have any email address or customer service link to get me to them, I did send them a letter in the mail explaining the whole situation but have not gotten any thing back from them. HELP!!

First Internet: First time I was connected to the internet, I was in Pre-School. I didn't understand how amazing it was and why everyone in my family was freaking out when we got a connection. I just typed in random things into the default homepage that had a search bar. Then I saw a commercial on Nickelodeon with their website and never really revisited because it was so overwhelming. I'm happy I grew up with the internet, because I'm so informed about computers and how to do things on them.

First Computer: My parents got an old computer that their work didn't want. It wasn't special, it just a black screen and green characters. I don't know what we used it for, but I just pushed on the keyboard. I think I was pre-preschool aged.

I know it's a silly question. My mom is around 5'6-5'7 and my dad is around 6'0. Right now, I'm 13, and I'm probably around 5'0-5'1? I'm okay with being short, I mean look at Eva Longoria, Hilary Duff, Nicole Richie, Mary-Kate Olsen. I'm only in my early teen years, and I'm around the same height as almost all of them. But it's not always fun being the shortest out of all your friends, I'm at the perfect weight for my height [101 lbs.] And I hate my short legs! I'm going into high school in June and I admit...I'm a little insecure about my height..I'm not looking for an exact answer, maybe just an estimate or a really good guess? I sort of have this dream of becoming a model, but I heard that you have to be at least 5'7. :/ Anything I can do to pick up the pace, I know I won't stop growing until I'm 17 but still. Or am I completely doomed because of my genes?

or they know for sure they were moved elsewhere. Here is my question. I want someone to post undeniable conclusive evidence that we found the vast stockpile of WMD chemical weapons or reconstituted nuclear capability that Iraq was supposed to have so much of that it was considered and urgent threat to the USA as our cities were in imminent danger of having mushroom clouds over them....or that they were in fact moved to Iran or Syria, or Russia or whereever else you claim they were moved to. I simply want facts. I want a website, a link, a credible article, official announcement from Bush administration, photos, etc..
that the vast stockpiles were found and or undeniable proof that Iraq had them and moved them. I think this is a fair question, and it would be good to solve these debates with facts rather than fictional claims. Right now what seems to be fiction is that Iraq was such a massive threat to us that we had to act. Go ahead though, this is your chance to make your case.
