A group of my friends and myself are debating on whether or not child support is federal or state mandated. The group is pretty much split, with half saying it's federal and half saying it's state. But I say both, and they all think I'm full of it. What I mean by 'both' is that there is a National Child Support Enforcement System, and that, on the federal level, the Children and Families Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services provides a basic framework, so to speak, for federal legislation. HOWEVER, if the states do not wish to fully abide by all federal legislation, they don't have to [if it's only required in order to continue receiving funding]. Otherwise, yes, the states have to abide by the federal legislation. BUT, the states are free to pass their own legislation and create and enforce their own statutes and guidelines as long as they do not contradict the federal legislation [which is why many child support laws vary depending upon the state].

I can't seem to focus on one thing too long. I didn't use to be this way. Is anyone else out there with this problem? Could it be part of aging?

I love my bf so much and want no one else but him. I am ready to get married and want it more than anything... i dont want a huge wedding oor anything , just going to a quiet place with parents and a few friends would be great with me and move into our own house and be a happily married couple is exactly what i want. But he says he isnt ready for marriage, he is 23. And he has a great job, a farmer, and he has the money. So why is he not ready? He says he does want to marry me and i am the only girl for him, but yet not ready for marriage? I will wait for him, but how do i handle it ? i am not a patient person, and sometimes my anger gets the best of me with this situation. Help ! Any ideas? And dont say mention moving in with him, cuz i am the kinda person who wants to be married before moving in with him.

Do any modern (within the last 5 yrs) bands sound like:

Black sabbath
Black lable society
Metallica
AC/DC

I am just wondering because I miss back when music actually had a great sound, and the biggest purpose wasn't about where they stand politically or whatever. I love rock music...but I miss the old rock sound...I hate this crap today with the non-stop screaming and the scratchy beats that sound like a kid banging on a trash can. Where did the talent go? You no longer need a killer voice to be a rockstar these days???

So if you know any, thanks!!

I started getting a cold last week, when the weather went from 75 and sunny to 50's and dreary. It started out with the typical stuff - sore throat, small cough, lost a little of my voice. About 3 days later, it started going away, and I thought that was it. Well, it's been a week since then, and I've still got the cough. I have tried everything. It always gets worse when we go to bed at night, and I either wind up staying up another 1/2 hour to 45 min trying to stop, or wake up later for the same time period doing nothing but coughing. Now, this is bad enough on it's own, but I'm only getting about 5 hours of sleep because of it, and that is just not enough for me. I wind up going to bed around 1 a.m. when I have to get up at 6. I cannot even lay down for a nap, because by the time I stop coughing, it's time to get back up. I've done everything I can think of to get this to go away, with no avail....Any suggestions??? I would really appreciate any help! Thank you...

This is my sentence.

In the beginning of the story the author shows her to be concerned about her family, but the grandmother is only concerned about them to the extent at which they affect her.

2 questions.

1.. Do i use Affect or Effect?
2... do I say "at which they" or "of which they"

thanks in advance!

Get used to it folks, we're setting the bar higher and higher every year. So either you either tighten your chin straps and come along for the ride or get left behind?

I am Capricorn - There is something in Aries men that rubs me the wrong way(not in all of them, I have to admit) I get along fine with the female ones, though...Libras are another story... I either love them or hate them...Both males and females.

How about you?
