My husband and i were eating at Fat Apple's (EC) last week when several *very* small children began to play under our table. Their parents were across the room and seemed oblivious to the situation. The waiter told the kids to go back to their parents as the kids were not only quite loud, but were doing very unsafe things like crawling under chairs. Eventually, the waiter asked the parents to come get the kids. (By then, the little ones were screaming.) The mom came over and as she was taking the littlest baby (about 2yo) from under the table, said to me very sweetly ''you don't mind the noise, do you.' My response was ''Actually, yes I do.'' So...of course, she got very mad at me and made quite a stink about how i didn't like kids.
Here's the question: How should i have handled the situation? Should i have stopped the kids earlier? Should i have not said anything to the parent who seemed to feel that I was a child hater?

If you were at work or were somewhere where you got into a conversation with someone who thought that you were charming and attractive and would make a good match for her daughter whom she describes as beautiful, but doesn't have a picture of. Would you agree to the meeting?

I've been doing a good amount of business travel lately. My employer reimburses mileage and provides a per diem. However, both those amounts are below the standard IRS rates. For instance, the IRS mileage deduction is $0.485 per mile, while my company reimburses $0.405 cents per mile. The IRS per diem for the region I travel to is $44 / day while my company pays $35 / day.
When I file my 2007 taxes, can I claim the difference between the allowable and actual reimbursements and an unreimbursed business expense?
I travelled 2,000 miles for business, so was reimbursed $810. At the IRS mileage rate, that would have been $970. Can I claim the $160 as an unreimbursed business expense? Is the scenario different for mileage and the per diem?

I'd prefer answers from folks who have actually faced the situation (or tax specialists) rather than speculation. Many thanks!

Since I've been here, I started having some preconceptions, because most christians I met on R&S were not exactly what I've known from my real life. In my real life I met so less people that were completely sure on their religion, that I could count them on the fingers of one hand. So now, I kinda have this image about christians: not willing to accept other views

How is it for you? Do you make an image of what a person is when he sais he's a christian?

Men and Women Was I being unreasonable?
My ex boyfriend and I had a fight over disaplining my 7 yr. old. Finally I asked him how should I approch you when I don't agree with what you're doing. He said if I knew anything about him then I should understand him and give a chance to do it. I said it wasn't fair and he got mad, told me I thought that men were all bad and girls were all good, like I don't like men. This really hurt and pissed me off so I told him to get out.

That's something I've always wondered about.. don't plan on downloading anything copyrighted or anything like that.. I don't even have Limewire, etc. But really, isn't just the sharing part illegal? Or is the actual downloading illegal as well? For example, in Canada, I believe you can download them, but not upload (or share) them. I live in the US, by the way, not Canada.. Just wanted to mention that I believe it's like that there. Thanks :o)

What kind of substrate/bedding do you use in your indoor Russian tortoise habitat?
I dont know what is best. I know that Russian tortoises are natural diggers/burrowers, so what kind of substrate is easiest for them to be dig in and be comfortable in? I don't want to use sand, as that could scratch the shell. I've read online that some people use rabbit pellets for the bedding, but that really doesnt make sense to me because what if they try to eat it?
should it be a dirt type of substrate? what about carefresh bedding?

We are planning on getting married nxt yr before he deploys to korea next yr. Before we get married he wants me to meet his parents and family. The only time we have to go back is during christmas. I live with my mom and with me leaving she will be left alone on christmas. I have 2 older brothers and 1 sister but they really never come visit on holidays they might call but thats it. I'm feeling really guilty for leaving her and we had planned to take her with us but we will be staying with his mom and I myself really dont even know what to expect from his family. I told my mom the other day that I felt bad leaving her behind and it would make it easier if my siblings would come visit her. But her answer was that they are married and have things to do and he is only you b/f but you can go and have a good time I don't have a problem been here alone. She made me feel really bad. I feel Im been selfish. Has anyone been in this situation before? Please need advice

I got rigid lenses a few months ago. I have been wearing them sporadically -- I'll wear them for a few days, decide I can't take it any longer, and then not wear them at all for a couple of weeks. I am trying to wear them all the time now, though, so my eyes can get used to them. (Yes, the fit is correct according to the eye doctor and I am using the comfort rewetting drops the doctor recommended.)

My question is... will my eyes ever get used to these so that I feel perfectly normal? At first, it tickled too much to look up, so I was looking down all the time. Now looking up is easy enough, but it tickles the corners of my eyes too much when I look to the sides. My fiance says I am blinking a lot. I don't want to be the weird girl with funny eyes. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take to go away?

Consider the following chart:
Compound Mass Iodine(g) Mass Fluorine(g)
(1) 4.75 3.56
(2) 7.64 3.43
(3) 9.41 9.86
When asked to find the mass of fluorine per gram of iodine in each compound, I found (1) 0.7495g F/g I , (2) 0.44895g F/ g I
(3) 1.0478g F / g I.

I am now asked to explain how these numbers support the atomic theory however, I don't see anyway how they do: they do not support the law of multiple proportions or any other part of the theory - AM I MISTAKEN? if so, how does this support the theory??

If you study the bible at all you know that natural disasters was an effective way for God to get his message across. When God brought the flood in Noah's day I bet those people pooped themselves at God's righteous power. I can hardly wait for the next. Non believers repent now or face the consequence.

I did an experiment where I produced copper by combining Fe with CuCl2.2H2O.

I decanted the FeCl and H2O also produced and washed the copper 10 times with water and once with HCl. Then I left it to dry over the weekend.

The percentage yield was 73%.

How would I get an improved percentage yield if I performed this reaction again?
