Okay, to make a long as short as I can:
After a huge argument ten years ago, I stop speaking to my parents, and so does my sister.
Five years ago, parents get divorced and my mother goes off somewhere (none of us know where she is).
Three years ago, my father develops Huntington’s Disease, and goes into a nursing home/mental health thing, because he can’t look after himself. None of us (me, sister, or mother) knew he was in there, and had no control over his treatment or anything. When he first went in, he always told the staff he didn’t want any kind of feeding tube, ever (he had a thing about it).
Two weeks ago, he refused his meds. Twelve days ago, he stopped eating. Ten days ago, he died.
My sister handled it all, as she was the only one the staff could track down after he died, and she’ll barely discuss it with me. I don’t think she knows very much herself.

Passages quoted from KJV on E-sword:
Rom 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Rom 9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Rom 9:26 And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

When one flips over to Hosea we find this:
Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.

Explain who these 'gentiles' are actually according to Hosea and why Paul excludes all others in Romans 9 from the covenants, adoption, and promises?

Ok, I am all for free expression, but I don't want to hear about how cruel I am or how people's rights matter. Be reminded of Mark Twain's quote, "Of all the creatures that were made, man is the most detestable. Of the entire brood he is the only one--the solitary one--that possesses malice. That is the basest of all instincts, passions, vices--the most hateful. He is the only creature that has pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. Also--in all the list he is the only creature that has a nasty mind." and tell me he isn't right. Don't get me wrong, I like certain people, just not our species in general. In the end, we are all animals so my questions is this...

If people can take an animal that has been aggressive towards humans and shoot it without further incident, why can't we do that to people? You don't see anybody shooting the animal because it harmed something other than a human. If an animal attacked someone I was close to or even myself, I wouldn't want it put down.

There's an opening at a company in my field (graphic design). However, they are asking for a salary history and "resumes without salary history will not be considered". I have been at my current job for 2 1/2 years and started in a junior level position, took the position to gain experience after getting my bachelor's degree in art/design, and build my portfolio which I have done. I now have 3-4 years of professional full-time experience and should be considered mid-level but my current company is too cheap to give me a big jump in salary for mid-level. I also have another additional bachelor's degree (multimedia), but those skills are not being used in my current company even though I've offered it to my managers so I can be more valuable and grow. With my 2 degrees, my skills and experience (based on market rate) I can make at least $10k more. Should I lie about my current salary on my salary history to get this big jump, and can they verify it? I don't want to be lowballed again.

I had been on the Orthra evra patch for 18 months. In feb and may of this year I had 2 periods in one month. Then starting in August of this year I kept getting my period every 2 weeks, with slight breakthrough bleeding from time to time. I was tested with a synogram and had a hysterscopy performed.

After this surgery I didn't use any type of birth control and refrained my sexual intercourse.

After the surgery I got my period the next day, it lasted about 5 days and then I had my next period almost 31 days later.

On the first day of this cycle I interted the Nuva Ring. About 5 days after my period began, i began experiencing break through bleeding and cramping.

So now i feel like im about start my period again and have break through bleeding, could this be the result of using birth control in general?

I just ordered an item because I got a catalog saying I was "pre-approved" for credit. It seemed a little too easy. Is there a scam here that I should be aware of? I ordered a $200 item.

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?

The father, surprised, answer s, "Well, son, there are three kinds of breasts.In her 20s, a woman's breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her 30s to 40s, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions".

"Onions?"

"Yes, you see them and they make you cry."

This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter said, "Mum, how many kinds of 'willies' are there?"

The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, "Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his 20s, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30s and 40s, it is like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his 50s, it is like a Christmas tree".

A Christmas tree?"

"Yes - dead from the root up and the balls are just for decoration."
