Actually, I've already planted it. (tee hee) I don't have much gardening experience- so I wonder, is it okay? It would be surrounded by flowers, such as lantana perrenials. impatiens, Alyssum, Begonia- pretty much most of the annuals. Is there anything I shouldn't be planting by the tree?? Thanks a lot!!

Many months ago I found out he had made friends with a 23 year old girl that works at a gas station close to our home. I found out that he was talking to her daily, going to her place of business several times a week, lent her money to pay her cell phone bill etc. One night she called when we were at Applebee's and he disappeared for 10 minutes. After Applebee's I had to run into Garden Ridge. When I came out 5 minutes later he was nowhere to be found. Upon calling his cell phone I could tell he was on the other phone. When I asked who he was talking to he said he was calling me. Well, it clicked, and I asked for his cell phone and saw a number I did'nt know. Upon conforting him he said it was that girl and that she was going through a hard time with her husband. He swears they were only friends. I gave him a choice to either give up the friend or me. He said their was no choice and has, to my knowledge, quit talking to her. 5 months later I can't get over it. What do I do?

Heinz's wife is dying from a rare form of cancer. There is only one drug that can save her, a radium compound that a druggist in Heinz's town has discovered. The ingredients to make this drug are costly, and the druggist is charging 10 times what it costs him to make this drug. He pays $200 for the radium, and charges his customers $2,000 for a small dose. Heinz tries to borrow the money, and can come up with only $1,000. Heinz explains to the druggist that his wife will die without the drug, and asks him to sell the drug at a cheaper price, or to take payment later. The druggist replies, "No, I discovered this drug and I am going to make money from it." Heinz becomes desperate. He breaks into the drugstore and steals the drug for his wife. Should Heinz have done that ?.......This is taken from the book "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout, PhD. What do you think you would have done if you had been Heinz? When you answer, give your reasoning, please.

I hold a "utility" patent for a utility power plant that makes NO pollution, doesn't need to burn ANY fuel, and makes power cheaper than ANY fueled process. Electric power made this way can power all our homes, cars, trucks, factories, waste management, whatever we need electricity for.
It's been to Clinton, Gore, Gingrich, Barr, the DOE, Bush, Cheeny, all over our government, even utility companies, and never one word about EVER building a power plant, just sell it out for pennies on the dollar.
Utility companies want buy it but will not discuss EVER building any plants. The patent office web site states it must work or it wouldn't be useful and therefore wouldn't be granted a patent.
With energy such a big problem, shouldn't the gov be trying the things their own people have determined does work?
Is their call to keep raping our environment, while they continue to pimp the problems and ignore solutions? Must "we" get rid of the politicians to have solutions to problems?

My husband found a 1989 Chevrolet standard shift, V-6, with a plow. The gentleman is asking 2345.00 after taxes, registration, and the like. Now the kicker. - It has 148,000 miles, I cannot drive it (don't know how to drive standard), can't get the kids in (standard cab), has extensive body rot on not only truck but on plow itself. I told him that I investigated it on Bluebook.com and found it to be worth a max of 1600 if it was in excellent condition. He says I'm fooling myself. But the guy has us over a barrel because we need him more than he needs us. We have to have our driveway plowed as it is over 1,000 feet long and each and every time you hire someone it is $50 and that is for one shot/one line down the middle no neatness and no widening. Should we just give in or spend unknown money on an unknown winter season.

Can you help me answer some of these questions?

Why did Madison agree that the presence of “factions” and “interests” would aid the government in functioning democratically?
How would compromise prevent the “unjust majority” from taking control of the government?
Why did Madison believe that the “spirit of party and faction” would have a positive impact on the government?
Why did Madison believe that a large government would be more successful than a small government?

seriously how do you bounce back if you really loved your wife but she had a mental condition that couldn't make her commit or keep her stable in a marriage. On top on going through a divorce finding out 1 month after your marriage ended that you're going to get laid off and possible lose everything you have. How do you bounce back after all those setbacks? it's hard to hold my head up right now.

1.) lim (x^3-2x) / (x-2)
x ->2

I know that it is indeterminate and that I have to evaluate algebraically. I just can't figure out what to do with the x^3. I factored it out to x(x^2-2) / (x-2) but I don't know where to go from there. Is that as far as you can take it so it would be DNE?

lim (sq. root 1+x) - (sq. root 1-x) / x
x ->0

I have no problems when there's just one square root, but for some reason when there's two I can't seem to ever get the right answer.

Any help is great. Thanks.
