I don't understand how ANYONE can be in favor of the resolution condemning Turkey for something the OTTOMAN EMPIRE did 90+ years ago when OUR SOLDIER'S lives are at stake.

It is a fact that Turkey HAS closed airspace before and is threatening to do so again.

It is a fact that 90% of new Life Saving Vehicles are supposed to be flown through Turkey.

It is a fact that IF this resolution is passed, Turkey COULD shut down airspace.

It is a fact that new logistical plans will have to be made to get those vehicles to the Soldiers. That takes time.

And, in those extra days/weeks/months, MORE of OUR SOLDIERS will be KILLED, MAIMED and INJURED by Road Side Bombs and EFPs.

Is that really worth it?

How can anyone support this resolution with that at stake?

My car lost almost all of its oil within one week, and started making a clicking noise and it sounds like it is coming from the engine. That is when i checked the oil. I put 3 qts. of oil back in it and started up and let it run for about 2 minutes, shut it off and let it set for a few minutes then checked the dip stick again, it still showed barely any oil and the clicking didn't go away. That is when my boyfriend suggested that i needed a new oil pump for it because oil wasn't getting into the engine. I have spent the last 12 hours looking for an oil pump and can't find any information on it, or if my car even has one. Any and all help with my delima would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I've had a very difficult year; i had attempted suicide at the end of my junior year and underwent therapy treatment where i was diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder. Right now i'm in my senior year and i'm at a plateau where i am neither sick nor getting any better. i'm deciding on whether or not fasting will help any. I know that i have fasted before in an effort to lose weight but this time i'm hoping to go about it in a more spiritual manner. I want to feel more in tune with my body before i continue with my treatment plan. I've allready had alot of progress with my depression but i still have to work on my ED. I hope to find a center, a balance, so that i may find more strength and fight off any relapses.

does that make any sense? i'd love some feedback, hell even someone to fast with and keep me centered, because i know i can't do this alone. MUCH ADVICE NEEDED!
Thank you.

I usually hate romance novels, but once in awhile when I'm in that mood I'll read one. It's like naughty literature for women.

There's a friend of mine that's been getting nerve pain(sharp pain that makes her scream out loud) in her left arm(no chest pain) and she thinks it's from drinking yerba mate tea for several weeks. I love her a lot because she's my mom. I keep telling her to go to the doctor. She said they won't do a thing about her. What to do? What does this pain mean?

After only 1 year, how do you bring yourself to get a divorce? I've only been married for less than 1 year. We've tried everything, and it just doesn't work. I've always been kind of against divorces, but there's no way around this. I made a mistake, and that's it. How can I bring myself to cope with this? My husband REFUSES to work any job, no matter what the pay is, and he's bipolar and an alcoholic. Any suggestions?

I use to wonder why they would think that about us, but if all they see about the USA are things like that mockery the homosexuals made of the last supper and they believe that we are going to take over there countries and force them to accept new laws that allow their god to be made a mockery of, then can we blame
them for fighting the way they do?

* I'm not saying that I defend them this just crossed my mind and was wondering if any one else had thought about it like that
(my son has been to Iraq and I know other young men that have been there and they have said that it is getting better over there)
