Can anyone tell me if Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian? Every bio and interview that I've ever read from him has stated that he was born in Ontario and moved to the US in 1957. However, some guy on youtube INSISTS that he was born in America and gave some quote from an interview with Lightfoot to prove his point. I don't see how everything I've read could be wrong, but maybe this is just some little known fact? That he was actually born in American but raised in Canada? Any help would be appreciated.

I have lived in an apartment building for 8 years. Instead of normal carpet, my apartment had that thin commercial carpet. My cat became a carpet terrorist on the stairs thinking it was a scratching post. Plus I had a pull that my vacuum ate up one day and left a line in the carpet with a missing thread in the living room. There is also a stain that I could not get out oustide the kitchen. But these happened over 8 years which I think is reasonable.

As I said, I haved there 8 years. The carpet was not new when I moved in. It was atleast 1-2 years old. I understand it got ruined and will need to be replaced, but I don't think that I should be responsible for giving the landlord new carpet. Even if it didn't have these problems, the carpet would stil be 9+ years old. If I am charged, shouldn't it atleast be a depreciated rate? Would this be something I could bring to small claims if I am charged the full replacement cost?

why did president bush's proposal to privatize 4% of social security a couple years back come under such intense criticism, especially given the fact that social security is widely recognized as inevitably heading for bankruptcy by just about everybody?

last friday after my football game i was hanging out with my good friend in my car. We were just talking and all of a sudden he leans over and we started making out. I completely got so lost in the moment i forgot about his girlfriend, who might i add is about 6 inches taller then me and could beat the crap out of me. There was a slight scare that it got out at school but it didn't get very far cuz nobody would believe he would ever cheat on her. I feel horrible but then again i don't. Now everyday in class he keeps asking me when where hanging out again and i've been just avoiding the question basically. help!!!

I know this is a very personal question, but the reason I ask is because I take pain pills. I have severe scoliosis, my spine is shaped like an "S" and my curves, last time I checked, were measuring 53 and 55 degrees. I have never had surgery, and don't intend to. I have had this since I was 12, and I am 26 now. As I got older the pain got worse, and finally in 2005, I started taking pain pills. I was ashamed at first to resort to taking pain pills, as there is a stigma that goes with them. But in order to be a productive mother/wife/person, I need pain management. I take Lortab, the 10's...I only take 2 at night, and I suffer during the day because I am afraid of becoming a "junkie". I also take a muscle relaxer at bedtime. This only reduces the pain, as it never goes away entirely. I would just like to hear other peoples stories who have chronic pain that is a common part of their everyday life. Sorry so long.

I am in grad school and it's very demanding and time consuming and my boyfriend couldn't be as supportive as he needed to be so he ended it so he wouldn't have to think about how little he could see me. Can this be worked out?

The Penny rain pounded on the meatal roof
like comforting raps on the door of hopless oppertunity
The fire wood warmed the damp moldy
banket wraped around my heart.
spiders slowly built steel traps
for flys.

Soft wisps of air carrying strong words gave
me streangth for time law.
The moons watchfull eye kept me cautious
the Suns wawm glow
lulles me to sleep.

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
