Ok, I am pretty confused, is Slughorn in the seventh book on the 'good' or 'bad' side.
Because on on of the pages 588 or something he was fighting against Charlie Weasley, then on the next he was dueling Voldemort.
That completely got me stumped. Is he good or bad?
Thanks.

Do you still want to see I Am Legend after finding out that it is PG-13? I myself will pass on any movies that should be rated R, but the studio makes it PG-13 because they want more money!!!!!! That's bs.

This is the first year in a long time that I've had my own place to decorate. The problem is that it isn't just my place, I have a roommate. A couple weeks ago we talked about getting a Christmas tree, and agreed to find a cheap one and share the cost (should be like 10 bucks each). My mom even bought me decorations for it. This eveing, my roommate informs me that she has "bad news about the tree". She doesn't feel like she should help buy it, because her parent's have saved all this money for her for school(we're in college), and it's their money, not hers, so she can't help me buy one. She's kinda been against decorating the place from the beginning, and we've used all of my stuff that I had gotten a long time ago, so I really feel this is just her way of getting out of having a tree. Needless to say I'm a littel mad, and don't really have the money to buy the tree and lights for it....so do I find a way to get that money, or just go without the tree?

A guy wakes up one morning to find a gorilla on his roof. He looks in the yellow pages and, sure enough, finds a gorilla removal service.When he calls and asks if they can remove the gorilla, the service guy asks, "Is it male or female?"

"Male," he replies.

"Oh yeah, we can do it. I'll be right there," he states. An hour later, the service guy shows up with a stick, a Chihuahua, a shotgun, and a pair of handcuffs. He then gives the man some instructions. "I'm going to climb up on the roof and poke the gorilla with the stick until he falls down to the ground, when he does, the Chihuahua is trained to bite the gorilla on his private parts and not let go. The gorilla will then reach down with both hands to try and remove the dog, allowing you to put the handcuffs on him."

"What do I do with the shotgun?" the man asks.

"That's simple," the service guy replies. "If I fall off the roof before the gorilla, you shoot the Chihuahua."

Is there such a thing as unforgiveable sin?

I have never understood what is meant by this term.

It seems to be to run counter to everthing in the New Testament. There is nothing that you could have done in your past that God will not totally forgive as long as you

1) honestly and truly repent.
2) seek God's forgiveness
2) have faith in Jesus Christ

So, is there any sin that cannot be forgiven and forgotten even when you have done these three things?

What is unforgivable sin?

I rear ended a guy after he suddenly stopped. It was right after an intersection where the light was yellow. I chose to go through it because I was approx 20 - 30ft away from the intersection when it turned yellow and I was going 45 mph. The guy in front of me goes through the intersection without slowing down one bit and suddenly does major breaking coming to a complete stop, not like easing into it at all just breaks as hard as he could suddenly. I was about 15 ft behind him. I know I should have had more room between our cars, but it was a yellow light and I did not want to be caught in the intersection to get ticketed for a red light. SO after hitting him we pull over and I try to get his information, but he doesn't have a Driver's License or insurance, but his Dad the passenger does. So after arguing with him fro 15 mins about wanting his information he decides that he just wants to walk away. SO they drive away leaving me only with a license plate number.Help! Shouldn'tHeBeFalt

My computer runs on Windows xp and I have a broadband connection. Recently, I got Windows xp reinstalled as earlier one had got corrupted. I notice that when I opt for shutdown, the computer seeks permission to install updates before shutdown (There is option to shutdown without installing updates too). If I opt for installation, computer starts counting updates installed (e.g. installing update 1 of 8, 2 of 8 so on). Last night, number of updates was as high as 76. What are these updates which Windows xp seeks to install before shutdown? Is it some sort of spyware? I am confused.

When we started going out 2 years ago she was a healthy and good looking 120 pounds....but over time she has gained weight. I'm not sure how much she weighs but she is definitely around like 180 pounds now....she stopped working out, and she just eats whatever now. We don't live together or anything, but we've been going out for 2 years, and I love her a lot but cannot see myself marrying her....I know it sounds bad, but I take such good care of myself physically, and I eat well.....I don't understand what happened to her? What should I do? I'm not that physically attracted to her as much as I used to be....I stopped having sex as often....

So my sister created a few business cards for the three of us (all sisters) a few years back, and apparently created an email address that didn't go on there. The handle is something like "smithsisters." To me the handle implies all 3 of us are in on this email account, that it's used or could be used for the business card deal, and that we should've been notified that she was creating an account handle like this.

She says she only sends stuff to herself and that this was the first time she'd sent anywhere else (she forwarded something to me today, which is how I found out about it). I believe her but I still think she should've asked us first, as it's like it's got our names on it as well. Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill or am I right to feel a bit irked?

Hello,
I am signing up for health insurance with 5000 deductible and a $280 premium a month for 2 adults. Now, the application asks when I would like to start the insurance policy the 1st of a month or the 15th of a month. I would like to know whether to wait and start on January 1, 2008 with a fresh new year. Or sign up for the insurance to start on December 15th, 2007. What are the negatives or the positives of doing this. I realize this year is coming to an end and I keep thinking i'm better of waiting until January 1, 2008.

What do you think?
Thank you greatly! :)
