I work for the County, Department of Human Services. I do not like this job and would prefer not to stay any longer than necessary. I left this job a year ago after being employed here for 5 years. I returned to this job in July of this year after not being sucessful in another venture.

I took the test to become a permanent employee with benefits, (medical, dental, vision, retirement, etc.) that I have to pay OUT OF MY POCKET to have.

As an temp...I do not have ANY benefits but can get my kids on another Medical/dental/vision plan that will save me about $250/mo. My total savings will be about $400 per pay period if I DO NOT become a permanent employee. That's $900 per month!

The ONLY benefit for becoming a permanent employee is that I too, would have medical, dental, vision.

I am tempted to hold out on making a decision until after the first of the year.

Split up with BF, who now wants shared custody of our dog, which is mine, but CKC registration is in both our names. He scared me with a lawyer and I have been sharing custody with him and there is a draft agreement being written up, but hasn't been signed. Is this unsigned agreement binding? Can I keep the dog and wait for him to take me to court? He doesn't take care of the dog properly and just wants her out of spite towards me and frankly, I can no longer nurse my dog back to health every other week from what he's done to her.

I don't know maybe I'm freaking out because everyone seems not to be concerned family wise. The only symtom that worries me is his eye hurting on the same side of that earache. Could it just be an earache and just set up and appt. with his pediatrician or could it be a more serious problem.

Have you ever been through the stage that i'm going through? You end up going to bed thinking that this is your last day of being a slob. And you intened to wake up the next day on a perfect diet and do everything perfectly from that day onward?
For example keeping a tidy room or doing better in school work? because i have every intention of doing these things but i never actually do. haha i'm soo damn lazy. Has anyone had this or anyrthing like this?

Not quite the same thing but I had a relative that was bipolar and whether it was part of the disease or a character flaw, I don't know.
I've known others who told fantastic stories of careers, fortunes gained and lost, ties to famous people etc.
One person would start a story and it would grow by leaps and bounds. Another person was in a head on collision but told their child who was an infant during the wreck that they had been hit by a train.
Soem chronic liars seem to lie just to hear themselves speak others have an agenda.
Not to mention the deadbeat Dads and Moms who are always coming to visit the children and never show.

I want to know about how much money I should save to go on a cruise. There will be two adults, preferably a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean, I live in Utah so I have to fly to a port, probably in Texas or Florida (that's another question, are there deals on plain tickets when purchasing cruise tickets?)
Keep in mind that meals are free but I want to do some activities at the ports of call, like swimming with dolphins and doing a zip line canopy tour of the jungle, just a few things like that. I also don't care too much about the room size. I basically want a good estimate, and rounded up just in case. Thank you.

What makes people go from crying little innocent babies, to becoming sociopathic, dangerous killers who do all of the things I mentioned above.

I want to know if it's society to blame, or if those pepole just snap from pressures, or just it's in their character.

We obviously are faced with many social ills in our society today and even worldwide, and we never know who we're really dealing with, as people can be hard to read or figure out.

So what is it that makes people do these things and turn evil?

Is it easier for men or women to be this way?

Are people born evil or good, or just like an empty slate?

Obviousyl as we have worldwide companies and our society is well established, lots of intellectual things are going on, which requires a functional mind, so it's dumb to say that evil is a very powerful and prevalent force in the world, but it's definitely there. It has it's role.

So what makes people like this, and how do we spot them out and deal with them?

A guy goes to the pharmacist and says, "Listen, these two girls are coming over this weekend, and they are hot, very hot. Would you have something to get me going all night? It's going to be a hell of a party."

The pharmacist goes in the back room, comes back with an old dusty bottle and says, "This stuff is potent: drink only one ounce of it, and I guarantee that you will be doing the wild thing all night. Let me know how it goes."

The weekend goes by and on Monday morning, the pharmacist goes to work and finds the same guy waiting for him on the door-step. The pharmacist says, "What are you doing here so early? How was your weekend?" The guy replies, "Quick, I need Blue Ice (muscle pain relief).

The pharmacist, knowing what the guy had been doing all weekend, says, "Are you crazy, you can't put that on your penis. The skin is way too sensitive."

The guy says, "No, no, It's not for that, it's for my arm."

Pharmacist: "What?? What happened?"

Guy replies, "Well...I drank the whole bottle of your potion."

Pharmacist: "Oh my god, and then what ? "

"The girls never showed up!"

My fiance of three years recently got caught up in playing the game constantly. It's gotten so bad that he plays from the time he gets home from work until he finaly goes to bed. Sometimes he does not even get off until 6 am. He plays anywhere from 6 to 12 hours a day. We just moved in together three weeks ago and this is when I really began noticing. It wasn't like this before.

Don't get me wrong, it's not what he's doing that's the problem, it's what he's NOT doing. I spend no time with him; when I try to he yells at me saying I'm annoying him. He never helps out around the house either but yells at me if he can't find something.

We have a baby on the way and this game is ruining my feelings for him. I really need support from him but he's not giving it. I've calmly talked to him numerous times about how much this bothers me but it always leads into a fight with him saying I'm trying to control him. I don't know what to do to make him realize how much this hurts me. Please help
