Do you call every box of facial tissue "Kleenex",

every can of soda "Coke,

every bottle of correction fluid "Whit-out"?

Why do we do this?

My wife had a credit card that had a $2000 limit on it in 1994. She made payments on it for awhile, but stopped in 1997 when money was tight. She did not receive anything from the credit card company until 2000. She made arrangements to pay $100 a month and made them for 4 months until she realized that her principle was going up. She stopped paying again and argued that she could not continue to pay more than $100 a month, and that she was not going to keep paying to owe more. We bought a house last year and the credit card was on her credit report, with several late payments. But it also showed that it was current and was still owned by the credit card company. We have not heard from the credit card company since 2000, but that all changed last week. We started getting phone calls and letters saying that the account was sold to a collection agency and legal action would be taken if we did not respond in 30 days. Can they do this after 10 years or is it just a threat?

What do I do? I completely disagree with everything they stand for. I love being Christian. I like knowing when I die I will be with God in heaven. What they believe is absolutely insane. It would be similar to trying to get me to believe heaven is Planet Cybertron, and I get to spend eternity chilling with the Autobots. Now my mom wants me to take a test that is designed to tell me all the things wrong with me. There is nothing wrong with me. It just sounds like a big scam anyways. I've done some research and the audits sound like a form of brain washing. I can't bring myself to believe I can buy my way to salvation.
My second problem is my younger brother has always had problems. He so far has had the benefit of psychiatrists, but will he no longer get that help?
I am just so angry about this because I feel helpless.
By the way, I don't know if this will help with your answers, but I am 16 and my brother is 14.
What can I do?????

I have a friend & he has at least 3 kids of that he knows about all under the ages of 3 & does not take care of them at all. He does not visit them, help with diapers, milk, Nothing not even a phone call.

I am a mother who works 40+ hours a weeks (& so does my husband) just to be sure that we can always provide for our daughter. I had her when I was 18 so I HAD to grow up real fast, & did RIGHT AWAY. When I talk to me friend he is always making jokes about how his kids are so much cheaper b/c he does not have to take care of them. Things like that really make me almost ashammed to say he is my friend. I have told him in the past how I feel about his comments, but does not change what he says around me.

So Is it wrong for me to kick this friend to the curb????

I can not stand DEAD BEAT PARENTS. All of my other friends are aware of this!

First of all, who would pick up the crap to throw it? Second how can you pick up crap that is loose enough to be sprayed by a fan. Finally if you were lucky enough to make it work, after it was all finished, wouldn't you be S H l T 0uT 0f Luck?

The reason Im asking in the pregnancy part of answers, is because I didn't get any answers in women's health, and I know you girls are on here all the time. I lost my twins3 weeks 3 days ago on Aug. 26th, naturally I have been bleeding since. On Monday, I passed a large piece of tissue, about the size of your hand spread out...I gave it to the OB/GYN, and hes sending it off for testing, along with something else he removed during a pelvic exam. I am just curious if anyone else has experienced this, and would like to share with me what happened. They said at the time of birth, that both placentas delivered intact. So I'm just wondering what I passed. And if I will have to have a D & C done to remove more tissue even though both babies, and placentas seemed to come out fine. I'm also having kinda bad cramps along with the bleeding, is that normal after childbirth?
