i really need a serious point of view. thank you very much.
ok, here's the thing. i'm 23 years old, 3rd year college undergrad, moved here in the states 3 years ago with my mother and brother so i can save enough money to go back to school. we're renting an apartment here so i have to help out with the bills too.
as of this moment, my mom has a part-time job, my brother is a working student and my dad was left back in our country w/ no job at all. i can't go to school here because i pay for over half of everything so i can't just have a part-time job.
i really want ot finish school so i can get a better career. but it's like my parents doesn't care at all.
my mom doesn't help out with the bills and my dad needs money. and my parents aren't even near retirement.
i mean at my age, i should have a professional job but it seems like they're holding me back.
so am i being selfish to think that i should just go back to our country and finish college and just think about myself for now?

I felt really bad about it, and gave it back to her the next day. I saw that she was in the park every day. Of course, I'd spent all the money. But, she's got her personal stuff back.

So, do you think I'm a bad person?

The local pub was so sure that its landlord was the strongest man around that it offered a standing ?1,000 bet that no could beat him. The challenge was that the landlord would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran out into a beer glass, then hand the lemon to the customer. Anyone who could squeeze even one more drop out of the lemon would win the money.
Over the years many people had tried this, truck drivers, weightlifters and all had failed. Then one day this frail little fella with heavy rimmed spectacles came into the bar and asked if he could try the challenge.
After the laughter had subsided the landlord said that it was only fair that the man be given a chance at the bet, so he picked up a lemon and started squeezing. Once he was done he handed the remains to the little man who promptly squeezed out 4 more drops of juice onto the bar.
Everyone looked on in amazement as the landlord handed over the prize and asked "What do you do for a living that has given you such strength? Are you a lumberjack, weightlifter, what?"
"No" the man replied, "I work for the IRS."

I quit my job a while back because my manager was unable to understand my needs. Although he was shocked, he told me I didnt have to work the two weeks and I can leave as soon as my shift is over. After leaving I was interviewed by Apple but didnt get it, also by Old Navy and did not get a call back yet. Did my former manager ruin my records? I have good credit and excellent references. What can I do to prevent future incidents? What can I do to know my own background?

Use the given triangles to evaluate the expression. Rationalize all denominators.

I have two right triangles of a different size. The legs of the smaller triangle are both 1, and the hypotenuse is sqrt2, and the two acute angles inside the triangle are both 45 degrees.

The bigger right triangle has a small leg of 1, and the long leg of sqrt3, and a hypotenuse of two, the two angles inside of it are 60, and 30 degrees


tan 45° - sin 45°

Since the beginning of the year I found out that my husband has been in contact with an old girlfriend. I use the term girlfriend loosely, but you get the idea. Anyway, there was a plan in play for the two of them to meet again after many years. It did not happen. When I found out about it I was upset and confronted him. I resorted to snopping thru email to figure out what exactly was going on. We did go to marriage councling and everything was going well. Until 2 months ago he left his email open one day and I saw mail from her. He denied it until I told him I saw it. He admitted but assured me it was nothing to worry about. I told him it is not the fact that you are in contact with her but that you have neglected to tell me, again. Well just a couple weeks ago I grew suspicious/noosy and went thru his email and found more communication between them. She wants him to meet her. I called him out and a huge arguemant took place. I was wrong to go into his mail, but why can't he be truthfu

My house was just sprayed down with this product. It was in an aerosol can. I got it from a Vet's office, they said that it was safe once it dried. But now everything is dry and I'm left with a gross smell. Is it still toxic? Main ingredients:

Linalool

A 69 year old male is charged with sexual assault and sexual interference with a minor (12 year ld child). He's under house arrest. He can't leave the house without a surety. Can he leave the country with a surety? The conditions didn't specify that he can't leave the country. If he can, how can I change the conditions so he can't. He's leaving the country with a surety on Nov. 19, 2007 and coming back on Dec. 6. but I don't think he's coming back. Please someone advise me of how I can go about stopping htis PEDOPHILE from leaving the country. Thank-you.

I am looking to get a tattoo by christmas.

The first question is, I know you have to wait a couple of weeks at least before swimming, will covering it up whilst in the pool help? or should I just not swim at all? after a few weeks of healing I mean.


Also I am getting it on my upper back and have to work. (not on actual day and I will make sure I get it on the first of the days I get off)
My work shirt is 100% polyester, will this be bad for the tattoo and can I cover it up just while I am at work in something breathable? if not will my tattoo get stuffed up? I do about 6-7 hour shifts max.


Thanks, I just wanted to ask online to find out some information before I go in and book it.

Ok... as if things weren't complicated enough... my mom just recieved a letter telling her she is being audited because she has some unreported income. The problem is she doesn't know where the over 50.000 came from all we have is Acct. numbers that match her ss# she was told to go to the local SSA to verify that the ss# issued to her was solely hers and she did, then she was told to go to the bank and obtain a letter stating this acct. either does or doesn't belong to her. The problem is the bank will not give her any info unless she knows the name on this acct; that has her ss#. Is there anything she can or should do?
