My mom and I get along very well, but we don't really have much in common. So I'm usually clueless about what to get her as gifts.

Since it's just me and her, we usually go all out on each other. For her real gifts, I've so far got her a leather jacket, a few nice blouses, a pair of dress shoes and a ring. For her stocking I usually get her stuff like make-up, perfume, lotion, nail polish...but that only goes so far! It's hard to fill up her stocking. So, any ideas? Please don't say a gift card or anything like that. Thanks for your help and happy holidays!

back in 2004, a 54 years old father of 3 decided to have a romantic relationship with an escort who was 25 years old. the proposal given by the escort (commercial sex worker) was a scholarship to a nursing course, an apartment, a generous allowance and intermittent sex service. she strongly encouraged the man not to leave the family as she did not like to destroy a marriage ! ?
the wife did not agree to the proposition, and when things went rough she brought the case to court. she demanded an allowance for the kids and asked the court to protect her and the kids from violence of all forms.
the court decided in favor of the wife and kids but instead the husband elevated the case to the appelate court.
a few months later, while waiting for the desicion of the appelate court, the man had a mild stroke, his business crashed and wanted to return to the wife and kids.

In a Public toilet I had barely sat down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's toilet but I don't know what got into me, so i answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doing just fine!"

And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?"

At this point, I'm thinking this is bizzare so i say "Uhhh, like you, just doing what you gotta do

At this point I'm just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. " Can I come over? "

This question was just to weird for me but I thought I would just be polite and end the conversation. So I tell him, " No..... I'm a little busy right now!!! "

Then I hear the guy say nervously...

" Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall answering all my questions!!!"

What do you think of the facilities available in the UK? I personally find them dire, having to wash your hands BEFORE you go in and keep looking over your shoulder etc. What do you think needs to be done to improve the situation? Would everyone be prepared to pay for safe and well cleaned public loos? Anyone had any bad experiences? Lets face it, this is something that everyone needs at some time, and we know how it can spoil your day if no 'comfort break' is available!
Your view please ................

I think the Christmas gift giving thing has gone out of control. Family peer pressure has forced my wife and I to buy over a thousand dollars of gift for almost 30 different relatives. We are forced to go via peer and family pressures to three different family celebrations. One on Christmas eve, one one Christmas morning and one in the evening.

Everyone has to outdue each other and buy the adults very expensive goods. One time a few of my brothers decided to cut back and they were told off and quickly had to go back to the big spending of years past.

This year I told my relatives that I would not give any gifts or expect to recieve any also. I am getting alot of negative comments directed at me. Some relatives will not even talk to me now. I may not be able to accept the negative peer and family pressures next year.

How about you, could you stop giving and recieving gifts at Christmas?

Direction

Why…fight it
You will never, never, never
…Not deny it
With quiet, and
Subtle innuendo
Buy it

Cry…lying
You’ll forever, ever, ever
…Sit beside it
Light lit, or
Self illumination
Equipped

Goodbye...fly it
In clever, clever, clever
…Reliance
With compass, no
Indication
Try it

Last week, i was answering a question about "Universal" health care. I basically said it was socialism. and this is the stupid question i got in return."well if socialism is sooo bad then why do we have social security?" Do people acctualy think this way? do they not read, or pay attention to their country? If they did tehy would know how social security is unsistanable, as is socialism,in any form. From "Universal" Healthcare to social security. here is a link to that question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap_hit2AirjUrSIgvex5ofHty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071120081620AALF0Yh&show=7#profile-info-98TGHjEaaa

my situation is that i moved out and didnt do a walk out inspection. i did clean the place but they say i didnt, so im being charged for that. plus theyre saying I owe money for back rent, but i gave a 30 day notice and moved out on the day i said. the only thing is, i put the keys in the drop box the next morning so i dont know it thats y theyre trying to charge me for rent or what. The first time i heard anything regarding the matter was over a year later from a collection agency. i just recently sent the collection agency a dispute letter and i guess ill go from there. is it just a lost cause if I cant prove anything or can i fight it and win. thank you

May the ring
Upon your finger
Be much more
Than gold to you
And the diamond
That you gave her
Reflecting what
A man must do
Hold her hand
In the darkness
Sheltered heart
From the pain
Say I love you
My forever
Listen to her
Be a friend

I heard somewhere that it isn't necessary to remove your tampon before urinating if you've only had it in for a little bit and aren't ready to change it yet. The site I read it on was directed towards young women who've just started having periods (I'm not in that group, but was curious). It said that you just have to hold the string out of the way. I've always just changed it when I have to pee...but wouldn't it be nice to not have to? So, anyway, is that true or not?

Well you asked for it.

Do veg*ns eat ani.........cra....

No, seriously now.

I saw a program about birth customs and all that. Its seems there are a few people who celebrate the birth of there son or daughter by cooking the placenta from the birth. (The doctors on the wishes of the patent keep this in a sterile container until needed).

This couple had a party and some of it was used as a platte and the other half was cooked as a pie.

I wanted to know
a) Would you say human placenta is veg*n.
b) Would any of you veg*ns eat such a thing.
Bare in mind that may herbivores offspring do eat there placenta
