I just finished the seventh book, but I'm a bit confused about one aspect of the story: How was the horcrux removed from Harry's body? How did Voldemort destroy the horcrux without killing Harry?

I have recently had a lot of back pain which is related to my job. I work at a retail store, have been there for about 2 years, and recently moved to work in hardware. Ever since I started working in hardware I have had a lot of problems with my back due to the lifting involved. (I have to put out all the freight, lift all the paint, etc, and I am a small framed female) This has really done a lot of damage to my back. I went to my doc and got pain medicine and had 5 days of temporary leave. But as soon as I returned to work and had to lift the pain was back. I talked to my supervisor about moving to a different area where I will not have to lift, and he said it was possible but I will have to take a pay cut. I also asked about staying where I am but only doing the light lifting and he said I had to have a doc note and be registered with the disability place.
I really dont like working here and now I'm really wanting to just quit. Do you guys think I should put in my two week

I have been dating a bisexual woman for about a year and everything was great until we had a fight about a month ago.

I left the apartment to get some fresh air and went to my favorite alternative club to meet up with some friends. I had just finished downing a couple shots and started to watch the dance revue when the most gorgeous transsexual I have ever seen sat down next to me and started flirting with me.

Soon afterwards, we ended up going back to her place and had some of the most wild fun I've ever had. We've seen each other several times since then and she even told me that she wants to go steady with me but I'm already in the other relationship.

My current girlfriend did mess around with some girls while we were apart but she's willing to make things work with me. So now I don't know what to do and I need some guidance here: do I stay with my bi girlfriend or do I go for the wild transwoman?

GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE -- The father of a Marine killed in Iraq took the stand in his invasion of privacy suit against a fundamentalist church that pickets soldiers' funerals, saying protesters carrying signs at his son's burial made him sick to his stomach. Albert Snyder said Wednesday he had hoped for a private funeral for his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder.
They turned this funeral into a media circus and they wanted to hurt my family," Snyder testified. "They wanted their message heard and they didn't care who they stepped over. My son should have been buried with dignity, not with a bunch of clowns outside.

Snyder is suing the Westboro Baptist church, whose members have picketed the funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, claiming the deaths are punishment for the country's tolerance of homosexuality. The York resident is seeking unspecified monetary damages in the case for invasion of privacy and intent to inflect emotional distress.

I guess I'm thinking of prayer, studying the Word, fasting (though I know some think the need for this has past), singing songs to God. I know this can also be split up into subgroups --- praise, petition, listening prayer, group Bible studies, individual devotions, etc --- it could go on basically forever. And I know I'm not mentioning everything possible here, not even scratching the surface. But basically I'm asking what do you feel fills you with the most joy and peace? And what do you find the hardest to wade through?

Thanks! :)

My son is three and a half and this is his first year of preschool. We had his first parent teacher conference. His teacher gave me this piece of paper with 100+ things that he should know how to do. Some of them included hoping on one foot, walk across a balance beam, awareness of group rules, hold a pencil, calm body, write first and last name, indicate number of phonemes in a word, days of the week, demonstrate book knowledge (author, editor). etc. Well he got a P grade on everything for progressing which means he doesn't quite know how to do these things. Is it normal for a school to be grading three year olds on this kind of stuff? I wasn't told anything positive just things that he couldn't do. The teacher was also concerened that he couldn't go down the twisty bar at the play ground? Should I be worried or is this a bit extreme? I did not feel good about this meeting at all. Please be honest are these normal things that three year olds should be doing?

Teens are annoying, they complain and whine all the freaken time, teenagers are all about drama, they think they’re in love and make their boyfriend/girlfriend their whole life when its not worth it. They are all about partying outrageously, getting drunk, doing drugs, having sex, getting pregnant, getting STD’s, always backstabbing their friends, always want to be popular when nobody freaken cares, when a boyfriend breaks up with the girl, she cries in the corner and gets a razor to cut her throat oh boo hoo. They expect their parents to pay their cell phone bells, they always want to text message somebody as if it’s the most coolest thing in the world, always wondering how to get that popular girl or boy to like them instead of concentrating on work, has a heart attack in the middle of the mall because her mom refuses to by her a hoody from the “OMG Hollister” store. am I missing any please jot down more?

My husband has depression and refuses to accept it. He says I am wrong, that he doesnt have depression. But he is 56, is trying to work out of our home and keeps getting into deeper debt. He sits all day and reads news on the internet and watches TV. When he finally comes out of his office at 7-8pm, he goes right back in front of the TV and stays up till 1-2am. Then sleeps late and it starts all over. He doesn't do anything unless I push him. His office is a mess. He wont get a job outside of the house even though he is a brilliant attorney. He wont exercise. He takes a herbal anti-depressant, but refuses to go to the doctor and still insists he doesnt have depression. He is 56, has no retirement, no savings, no disability, no longterm care. Nothing. I work and have all this, and I own my own home which we live in. It was mine before we married so he has no financial security for the future. He wont go to counseling and the one time we did, he got furious after we left. Now what?????

Hi Folks,

By which I mean the odd cross between a goat and a sheep.

Or are they "geeps" ?

A lump of this cross-breed on a BBQ is fine.

I used to live for many a year in the Mid-East, and asked in my shoddy Arabic what it was.

It transpired that someone introduced sheep many years ago, which cross-bred with the local goats.

The sheep mainly perished due to over-heating, but the shoats and geeps carried on.

Marvellous stuff if you like your meat, but I'm jiggered if I can find it in the UK.

Any notions ?

Bob

OK I'm making homemade pizza for my GF next weekend and I want a great wine to go with it. I'm not a wine hobbyist (as you can tell) I want something that will be good, but not break the bank because I'm a poor college student. I read somewhere that a Joel Gott 2005 Zinfandel would be good, but I'm not here I can it here in Nebraska. Any suggestion would be most appreciated.

My fishes are starting to gasp for air on the surface. i read somewhere that high pH causes this and that ammonia is really toxic when pH is high. i recently also seen that none of my goldfishes have erect dorsal fin, drooping to the side. i have been changing the water about 20% frequently. Is there any natural stuff to lower the pH or the ammonia? i read somewhere that by adding soda water or vinegar lowers the pH. Will this kill or affect the fish?
thanx for all replies

Well, I REALLY like this athletic girl. But she has a boyfriend. And I told her I loved her during the Summer (Through myspace, yeah...call me a loser). She said that she would really like to be my friend though (Because I was practically a stranger). Now that school starts, she never really says hi to me, but she does look at me. She still has her BF and I really like her, what do I do.
