I've realized that my departure from the teaching path just before my divorce left me working in jobs that don't bring me happiness.

I communicated this with my ex in a letter included with my monthly child support payment, that I will be looking for paths to get my teacher's license (including taking the GRE) and that should my income change as I seek other employment I will discuss the changes to child support with her -- and that I will NOT stop providing child support for my child.

My ex called and expressed a lot of anger. It was as if she read only the parts of the letter that she wanted to, and looked for reasons to get mad. I can understand that she may feel frustrated that I've gone from one job to another in the last 5 years (had 4 full-time and two part-time jobs), but I have not stopped paying child support. If I am working towards entering a career I WANT to do, isn't that better? Do I not deserve to do something I like for a living?

In his book, The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins argues that religious belief is—what else?—delusional. He mocks the irrationality of believing in something that you cannot subject to scientific scrutiny; he rails against the so-called “immorality” of the Bible, like the sanctioning of slavery—untrue—and the alleged way that religion, especially Christianity, stands in the way of scientific progress—also untrue.

Just in case his readers are not convinced, however, he then pulls out the really big gun: Religious belief is a kind of child abuse.

By “child abuse” Dawkins is not, at least not principally, referring to the scandals involving sexual misconduct by Catholic priests. He means that teaching a child about Christianity can damage them psychologically and emotionally.

We got a yorkshire terrier about a year ago and now she has acquired major fleas! I mean to say, you can see them crawling around in her wispy belly hair! Well, we are kinda tight on money at the moment and these fleas have got to go. We really can't afford Frontline or K9 Advantix, so are there any safe home remedies? Also, she is not quite one year yet, and she still eats everything she can. I'm afraid that if we put flea medication on her, she may eat it and become sick. What should I do? Also, I have heard about Dawn dish liquid, is this safe? If there are no safe home remedies, what is the safest and cheapest madication out there to use? And to get rid of the fleas in our house and/or yard, what home thing could we use? What about lemon juice? I thank you so much in advance for your help with this serious flea problem!

being apathetic is worse than being unintelligent. And then he calls himself a narcissistic, selfish, and generally a prick. I don't understand this guy at all. He seems to be a jerk. He's nice one minute, then the next, he's a jerk. What do I do, and what's his deal? Please help.

Thanks for reading more:

For about the past month, I've been having trouble with the operation of my Microsft Optical Wheel mouse which was PS2 and USB compatible.

I suspect the problem is with the computer, but you tell me.

The computer is running XP pro and is constantly being updated by auto updates of whatever it is Microsoft is pushing at it and with JAVA updates.

I was running the mouse via the PS/2 adapter when the problem started. Under those conditions, the mouse pointer would stop moving and only a reboot (sometimes several reboots) would get it working again.

I have since switched to USB operation and downloaded the latest driver, which comes in the form of an Intellipoint dealy that allegedly can be configured to work for about a zillion mice.

Under those conditions, I can get the mouse to work again by waiting for XP to complain that it doesnt recognize something on the USB bus and dis/reconnecting the mouse cable. LEDs go out during fault.
Thoughts?
