Three businessmen walk into a hotel. The front desk tells them the cost for a room is $30.00. The men give $10.00 each and go up to their room. Several minutes later the manager comes to the front desk and tells the clerk the businessmen should only be charged $25.00. The manager gives the clerk five $1 bills and tells him to give the businessmen their change.

As the clerk is walking up to the room he realizes he can't divide $5 equally between three people. He decides to give the businessmen $1 each and keep $2 for a tip.

Each of the three businessman has now paid $9.00 ($10.00 initially and $1.00 back).

Nine dollars times three businessmen equally $27 dollars ($9.00 X 3 = $27.00). Plus the $2.00 the clerk took as a tip. ($27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00)

That's a total of $29, but the businessmen payed $30 originally.

What happened to the last dollar?

That's when you stick somebody's head down the toilet and flush it.
It happened last week at a Beer Hall, someone was talking on the phone, then some tough guy came up to him and rammed his head into the phone a few times, then dragged him into the bathroom, put his head down the toilet and flushed it a few times. Funny.
I know it is immature, but I was laughing when it happened, and then later when we were all outside arguing in the street, his head all wet.
Just funny. What a night!

I have to go for day surgery to remove a breast lump & I know they will try to load me up with prescription painkillers after. I'd like to avoid taking them if I can & take something more natural. Any tips?

What I mean is, why when writing down on paper, an "a" or "k" or "d" for example via printing or script in our own hand, we can't write it, the same way a second or third time?

I've always wondered that.

Maybe if there are any who are reading this, a couple 3 handwriting experts, can share, an answer to my question.

Thanks

(Repost)

For example when I say I have a hand, properties which include/define me having a hand is.

* It is attached to my arm
* It has veins and blood running through it
* It has fingers... etc... etc... etc...

1 property that I use to define existence is that which is in spacetime. I have many others but am eager to hear your defining properties.

My claim is that no theist can give me a property which is an adequate attribute of existence that applies to Himself and God.
The statement "I exist, and God exist" is not compatible. Because the properties which define existence apply to one "I" but not to the other "God"?

One way of surpassing semantics and getting to the root meanings of "certain" terms is to define the properties of that term. At times simple definitions will not do we have to get to the properties. Once we do this it is clear that the statement "God exists" is meaningless.

Or perhaps I`am mistaken and a theist will prove me wrong?

Doesn't theTorah say, " Thou shalt not steal." Doesn't it also say that the people they claim God gave the land to were only tenants living in the land based on their obedience to the Torah? Since they failed miserably and got themselves evicted, shouldn't they be thankful for what land the U.N. gave them and stop stealing Palestinian land while they pretend they want peace?

A quote from an Israeli who knows the truth and speaks out against his government:

Rabin really wanted to move forward towards peace. Slowly-slowly, with stubborn haggling, but also with consistency and persistence. Olmert's aims are quite different. He wants a "peace process" that has no end - babbling, meetings, conferences, without any movement, while in the meantime the occupation is continuing, annexation is creeping forward, settlements are enlarging and the hopes and chances for the two peoples are evaporating.

when is it no longer acceptable for a child to throw a tantrum. i think once they can talk that tantrums are not acceptable, babies throw tantrums because they have no other way to communicate(i think its kind of cute when they do). i am just wondering what other parents think. i am a nanny and pregnant with my first.

I personally can think of two for me. Two young ladies, Lisa G and Duchess. I came on here because I was sort of talked into it and discovered two exceptionally inspiring ladies.

Last year, i brought 3 pups -- newfoundland, saint bernard and english mastiff. All 3 of them have now grown into giant dogs and i am badly overwhelmed taking care and controling them. I have too much work and school stress already.

My girlfriend also doesn't seem to care for them properly, because she fears their size and feels they may attack her

When i take all 3 for walk, i have very hard time controlling their leashes. All 3 of them pull me together, and i'm myself dragged instead of controlling them. I feel several hundreds of pounds of pressure pulling me at once. I have back pain, because of all the strength i use to barely control their leashes.
I can't take them 1 by 1 for walk, because i don't have much time so i take all 3 together.

They are becoming destructive and noisy too. In the night they bark a lot, and disrupt my sleep. Their costs are goin higher to

I was not aware that they will grow so incredibly large, when i brought them as pups.

How to handle them?

myself, my husband and our 5 month old son live live in arizona near my mom and dad. We lived in chicago by my inlaws for a while, then moved here about 10 months ago.
My husband and my mom and dad dont really get along that well. He hates spending holidays with them and i could either take or leave holidays with them. But this year we hit financial hard times, he told his family (before we had found jobs here) that we would all come out for christmas to chicago and spend it with them, not stay here with my family. But things got financially bad and i had to find a fulltime job. I have only been there for 2 weeks and have no vacation time or time off around christmas. He got extremely shitty about it and told me "i guess you will have to stay here and the baby and i will go spend christmas with my family" "he is not spending his first christmas here with your family" "it is not fair that my family is always on the back burner" etc... then he asked if i cared..
