I'm a Security Guard. Today, I bumped into a former colleague of mine,who told me the site at which he is presently employed,has him working 14 hour shifts. Surely,this is against the Law isn't it? ...I thought the maximum you were allowed to work in a shift was 12 hours.
He says he's not happy about it and quite frankly,I'm not surprised. Amongst other things,iwould think this is a Health & Safety Issue. Am I right?

What was your opinion of the placement of gay actor Ian Mckellen as Gandalf in the film adaption of Lord of the Rings, and the recent announcement by Jo Rowling that Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series is gay?

Do you consider these people to be detrimental to your children's heterosexuality?

It says it's from: Mail delivery system
Subject: Mail delivery failed. return to sender

So, I know you get these if you sent something to someone & their mailbox was full or you accidentally mis-spell the address or something, But this isn't what is happening.
I did NOT send anything to anyone & especially not to these strange e-mails addresses they say I am sending stuff to. I got 7 of these e-mails yesterday & 4 more this morning. Do I have some virus or something?

Senator Biden would allow uninsured Americans to buy into an insurance program that mirrors the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan – the program that provides health insurance to members of Congress, their staff, and federal employees.
While the program will contain the same carriers and the same plan offerings, the new program will have its own insurance pool. Carriers in the FEHBP program would have to offer plans in the universal buy-in plan, but would have access to reinsurance to help with catastrophic costs for enrollees with greater than usual health costs. The buy-in program could also have an age-adjusted “payment” or “bonus” for plans that enroll older and less healthy people to help carriers avoid the effects of adverse selection.
People would be permitted to buy-in on a sliding scale based on income.
Small businesses would be allowed to participate in the program to help provide insurance for their employees.

We applied the primer a few days ago and just applied the first coat last night and we are going to apply the 2nd coat tonight and the color is way too bright! The name of the color is "Like Butter" and on the swatch it appeared to be a softer yellow, not this bright!! So is there anything I can get to apply to the paint for this second coat to tone the bright yellow down?
I want a pale soft yellow, not a canary, hello sunshine yellow that I have now.
The paint is by Valspar (from Lowe's), and it's a latex paint.
If I don't receive accurate help I already know to call Lowe's (hardware store) for help and ideas of what can be done.
Thanks soooo much and have a great day!

Why have I been asked if "I am truly a Witness" simply for asking a question. Am I not entitled to ask a question of you, WE ask questions to others about Religion don't We?

My alternator tested bad about 2 months ago so I had it replaced last month. On Sunday the cars dashboard lights were coming on and going off (ABS, AIR BAG, TCS) and after stopping to get gas, we tried to start the car and nothing. We had to have it jumped. So when we were driving it to my Aunts at every red light everything got dark (headlights, dash lights) until the gas was pushed and they all came back strong. We took it back to the store where we purchased the alternator and it tested bad. But he also said he smelled a burning smell and said to get the electrical system checked. We did that yesterday and everything in the whole car was fine, but the alternator tested bad and the battery was about 25% charged. Is there something that could be wrong in a car that would cause it to kill alternators? Or did we maybe just get a bad one? I don't see how something could be wrong to kill the alternator after a month... or is there? Please help!

P.S. This is a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS

It was mentioned to me that it was wrong of me not to have yet sent out thank you cards to attendees of my loved one's wake. I really meant to, but have honestly not had the time to do it. We thanked everyone we greeted at the wake, and truly appreciate everyone's support and cards. I have all the cards that people gave, however, not everyone wrote an address and I don't know many of the names.

I have only occassionally received a thank you after attending a wake, but have never thought it was inappropriate not receiving one. What is proper in this situation?

Thank you.

I am expecting my first child with my girlfriend of over a year and am curious on which last name should my boy have in a non-married relationship? Since my girlfriend already has a 6 yr old (was a donor sperm baby) and has her last name, my girlfriend says that this new baby should also have her last name. What do you think?

My grandfather recently passed away, leaving a house full of old family papers. These range from deeds to the family farm from the 1800s to boxes of bank statements, cancelled checks, newspapers.... Everything is scattered around the house in cupboards, trunks and drawers. Any advice for tackling the task of sorting these papers and deciding what is worth keeping (for the sake of family history) and what should be shredded or otherwise done away with? Any ideas about how long it might take? I hope to spend three or four 12-hour non-stop days to get everything sorted... Is this realistic or completely unfeasible? Thanks for any advice from your experience.
