Hello,
I recently invited a good friend of mine to dinner, and she suggested bringing a friend of hers; I have never met her friend personally, but we are both aware that she has been diagnosed with HIV. I'm neither prejudiced nor like to discriminate, but I really wouldn't be comfortable having her in my house, as the virus may come into contact with silverware, utensils, glasses, etc. What is a diplomatic way of letting my friend know this? Should I simply tell her I have to reschedule dinner for a later date? Or should I tell her I don't want her friend infected with HIV over to my house? Thanks!

ok, well this is my first halloween season as a vegetarian (so i'm like waaay more aware of the types of things that are in candies), so that pretty much means no candy corns, skittles, ect. and i'm kind of bummed about it.

: ( i mean i know that i'm being healthier and what not, but i feel kind of left out because all of my friends are like chowing down on gelatin filled halloween candy and i'm just like sitting there trying to resist my temptations by thinking of the nasty gelatin.

well i guess my question is.....any advice? or reassurance?

ps: i know that vegetarians can eat gelatin, but i choose not to, i mean in my opinion it's the same concept..the animal had to die.

I have expressed my critical views on the Media, the public (including myself) and the Portuguese police with scant knowledge of the case. The presumption of the McCanns innocence needs to be maintained as well as the presumption of the police competence-but the media and gossips frequently disregard it when it suits. I’d suggest that in this sad case, it is worth making the extra effort to protect this right. What I dislike about this is all the bad judgements, either way, without the full facts in such a serious issue.

the masonic order is bankrupt with trillions of dollars worth of bonds need to be repaid due to the waste of money on killing people in iraq and afghanistan, maintaining the gitmo nazi concentartion camps, and spending on new weaponry (of course others cant have nukilar weapons to ensure they couldnt defend themselves for the new invasions to come). After all this, can the masonic order afford a universal healthcare system? it is widely recognized that the order of death and destruction is completely broke.

My husband and I are renting a room to someone who doesn't bother to help out around the house. He sits in our living room watching our television and eating the meals that I've cooked and even when asked, seems to have a problem pulling his weight around here. Add to that the fact that he hits my dog and is extraordinarily disrespectful to me on numerous occassions. I can't take it anymore. We've been friends with him since college and we don't want to lose our friendship but I cannot take the disrespect and rude attitude that's just driving me crazy. What are some ways that I can control my anger and not try to bottle it up all the time?

A boy shouts out.."Ha!, I can see your stockings!!"
The teacher says sternly.."Get out Jim and don't come back 'till next lesson!"
She carries on writing and the chalk breaks again.
"Ha! I can see your panties!!" shouts another boy.
"Get out Fred and don't come back 'till tomorrow!" she says sternly.
She returns to the blackboard and the chalk breaks yet again, she bends down again but this time her panties tear with a great "Riiipppp!"

"Well, Miss, after what I'VE seen, my schooldays are over."
