I'm a college student and my sister (in her 30s) has 3 kids, making me an uncle. My family expects me to help raise her kids almost. My sister married into a family that is directly opposite to my immediate family. I am usually a quiet, mature, intelligent person, while my sister and the rest of her new family is just the opposite. The parents dont live up to their promises and dont let their children hang out with other kids their age for w/e reason, so I'm stuck being their best friends. Due to limited words to type here, parents are basically horrible. These nephews are 5,7,9 yrs old. I'm 19 yrs old and I commute to college so I'm living at home to save money and I dont have a choice really. If I ever give constructive criticism of any kind, the parents reject it and doubt that they could ever possibly be bad parents or make 1 wrong move. When they happens, my sister blames it on my mom b/c im living at home. My sister doesnt think I can speak for my own part. Need more room to type

I work for a small company that is having a staff meeting that should last about 30 miniutes. I've been told that I should be paid for minimally two hours by law. Is that true? And if so, where can I find the law that supports that statement?

I recently met this guy and we're becoming great friends. He's from Spain, masculine, talks about sports and beer, but never mentions girls. I'm assuming he is straight, due to some other remarks so I think he would be uncomfortable if he knew his new friend was gay. So... I'm not exactly telling him. I wouldn't lie if he asked, and I don't feel censored around him, so if he doesn't have to tell me he's straight why should I have to announce I'm gay?

stills throws a party on Halloween DAY but calls it something else like: Hallelujah Night or Harvest Festival?
They still encourage "dressing-up" in customs and giving out candy (all the same things done on Halloween) and all done on the day of the dead, just called by a different name to justify it.
Is this happing in your church and if so how do you feel about it?

I found organic bananas at a good price. I bought three bunches. They are ripe. I don't want them to get overripe.
It's not like other fruits you can store in the fridge, as they get black.
I would not like to freeze them.
Would it be good to peel and put them in some lemon juice to preserve them and keep them fresh?

thanks!

Evolutionists believe in something called abiogenesis. Basically, this means that all life originally came from a combination of rocks and chemicals. My question is this, a dog and a cat cannot have a Kuppy, so how can a rock and a chemical produce a child together? Moreover, seeing as how they cannot move, how could they possible have done the deed to procreate?
Abiogenesis relies on rocks and chemicals being in the right condition, and we have not been able to get rocks and chemicals to breed even once since we first thought this theory up. Why then do we believe in this? Isn't it obvious that Rocks and Chemicals, like Dogs and Cats cannot have babies, and their babies would definitely look more like rocks and chemicals than tiny microscopic organisms, wouldn't they? Why do we not have a rocky coating? Surely, that ancestor of ours, the rock, has some very interesting survival devices. Why did these strengths not get passed down?
This again proves that evolutionarianism 100% wrong.

I have an account with MCM for $1550. Now they told me I can settle with them for $930 all at once or I can pay the $930 within 3 months. Now, I am thinking like this if I settle for the $930 then I will be saving around $600. As of right now, things will be really tight if I try and settle for that $930. I was just thinking about waiting to pay it off. But I wouldnt wanna have that sit in the back of my mind if they take legal action or something like that.

Please only positive comments and concerns only. I dont need to hear any negative advice.

Thanks for taking the time out to read my question.
