people hear something about you and jump to conclusions, call you up and start yelling their heads off when they don't know what the h*** they're talking about?
When's the last time that happened to you?

I am 38 and have been married for 20 yrs. He is a wonderful man, but I dont feel like he is the one for me any longer. I do love him, I'm not in love with him. I have been the one to raise both girls and take care of everything, while holding down a full time job. I am tired and feel like if I have to do everything, then I want to do it on my own now. Should I throw away a 20 yr marriage or should I bite my tongue and stay?

Aging Inmates Clogging Nation's Prisons
AP
Posted: 2007-09-29 14:33:24
HARDWICK, Ga. (AP) - Razor wire topping the fences seems almost a joke at the Men's State Prison, where many inmates are slumped in wheelchairs, or leaning on walkers or canes.

It's becoming an increasingly common sight: geriatric inmates spending their waning days behind bars. The soaring number of aging inmates is now outpacing the prison growth as a whole.

Tough sentencing laws passed in the crime-busting 1980s and 1990s are largely to blame. It's all fueling an explosion in inmate health costs for cash-strapped states.

"It keeps going up and up," said Alan Adams, director of Health Services for the Georgia Department of Corrections. "We've got some old guys who are too sick to get out of bed. And some of them, they're going to die inside. The courts say we have to provide care and we do. But that costs money."

Justice Department statistics show that the number of inmates in federal and state prisons age 55 and older shot up 33 percent from 2000 to 2005, the most recent year for which the data was available. That's faster than the 9 percent growth overall.

The trend is particularly pronounced in the South, which has some of the nation's toughest sentencing laws. In 16 Southern states, the growth rate has escalated by an average of 145 percent since 1997, according to the Southern Legislative Conference.

Rising prison health care costs - particularly for elderly inmates - helped fuel a 10 percent jump in state prison spending from fiscal year 2005 to 2006, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. That growth in spending is projected to continue, the group said.

The graying of the nation's prisons mirrors the population as whole. But many inmates arrive in prison after years of unhealthy living, such as drug use and risky sex. The stress of life behind bars can often make them even sicker.

And once they enter prison walls, they aren't eligible for Medicaid or Medicare, where the costs are shared between the state and federal government, meaning a state shoulders the burden of inmate health care on its own.

Estimates place the annual cost of housing an inmate at $18,000 to $31,000 a year. There is no firm separate number for housing an elderly inmate, but there is widespread agreement that it's significantly higher than for a younger one.

In addition to medical costs there are other, less obvious expenses. For instance, elderly inmates can't climb to the top bunk so they sometimes need to be housed in separate units that require more space.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that inmates have a constitutional right to health care. But what that means can depend on where an inmate is locked up.

I have a nagging feeling that I need to be single to concentrate on my own life. Have you ever felt this way & did you leave the relationship you were in? I feel like I am being terribly selfish & yet the feeling is always with me to leave.

A friend of mine had surgery yesterday and he has a big clot on one nostril. We have tried saline solution to get it to come out but it is a long piece of large tissue that is not coming out. What do you suggest besides calling the surgeon? He is not able to breathe or sleep at all. Thanks.

I've been applying to jobs online for about 2 months now. I've been applying to major chains like K-Mart, Home depot, Toys R Us, and others. I have a high school diploma. I'm currently attending college in order to get an associates degree. I have 2 years of retail experience. I can work a cash register. And I have not had any problems with my employers. Yet I have not had any call backs!

I think that there are a few possible reasons why I'm not getting any call backs:
-I'm over qualified. They probably want someone with less experience so they can pay them less.
-I'm currently employed. Although I'm looking to leave my current job.
-I'm asking for a salary that is too high. Currently I'm making $9 an hour, and I'm asking for $10 an hour.
-I'm failing the test that you have to take when you answer when you fill out the application.

Can any one give me advice. Is there a website that can help me with application test? Should I ask for a lower salary?

so.
i already have a wachovia credit card with a 1300 dollar balance, I also have a dell credit card with a 500 dollar balance. My money is running low, but I will be receiving a couple thousand.

I was thinking I should put 1100 in my checking account to live off the semester with and use the other half to put on my credit card.

Now, I have another credit card that I havent opened with a $5000 limit with citi bank, I was thinking Id take money from there and pay off the remaining balance off for my wachovia credit card, and pay off the dell credit card. And just have to worry about the monthly payment of this citi bank card in addition to my car/health insurance?

any advice?

More and more I am beginning to see disparities and lies in all of the polls and so called news outlets. Don't believe it? Start investigating for yourself. Media is controlled by a small few. Are we to believe what is being fed to us on a daily basis?

I was having such a good day.
My wife was in the kitchen and I wasn't allowed in there because she was fixing something special for me.
She made stirfry for me, and it was delicious !

But now I can't find my cat. All I found was her collar in the kitchen trash. Seems like something always ruins a perfectly good day !

I just can't figure out how she got her collar off or where she might have gone!
