while
science has demonstrated remarkable progress in only 500 years?

Why is the
period when the church dominated western history universally referred to as the
Dark Ages, while the period of breaking away from church dogma is called the
Enlightenment?

Dear Tide Soap Company



I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all
through my married life, as my mom always told me it was the best. Now
that I am in my fifties, I find it even better. In fact, about a month
ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse.



My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to berate me about how
clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One
thing led to another and somehow I ended up with a lot of his blood on
my white blouse. I tried to get the stain out using a bargain detergent,
but it just wouldn't come out. After a quick trip to the supermarket, I
purchased a bottle of liquid Tide with bleach alternative, and to my
surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out!! In fact, the
stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me
that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney
called and said that I would no longer be considered a suspect in the
disappearance of my husband. What a relief!! Going through menopause is
bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for
having such a great product.

Well, gotta go. I have to write a letter to the Hefty Bag people.

Basically I got scammed for $2600. I sold a car and was given a cashiers check. I took that check to the bank where they verified and then deposited most of that check. I waited almost two weeks before using the money to pay off some bills. 3 days after that the bank notified me that the check was a fraud and they wanted their money back asap. I have direct deposit so everything that went into the account was taken until we could go in and make payment arrangements with them. We were told at the bank by several of the management team that it was our fault and that there was nothing they could do. They pretty much pressured us into getting a high interest loan to pay off the amount we owed. Is this right? Was this our fault? No one has been very helpful with this. The bank simply wants their money back. Can anyone help?

I've been with this man for a year and things have gone steadily downhill, he's had an affair, spent all our money, and I mean all of it. Won't go to church with me or to therapy. I married for love- truly, but it seems he did not. As I write this I know I've been a complete fool. He had a terrible upbringing but who hasn't had their share of pain and despair? Does anyone have a story similar to this where things have worked out? -Aside from the loved one being struck by lightening or having a concussion where the selfish personality is miraculously changed? Help.

Why do we seek and yearn to be with others, why do we need to share the company of other people?

From married couples and lovers to strangers and people we meet on the street we seek to be around, to be in the company or in the presence of other people. And while 'getting away from it all' and going somewhere totally remote can be pleasant, eventually everyone gets the same urge to find and share the company of other people.

So my question is, Why do we seek and even yearn for the company of others?

To be clear, I am not asking about biology, evolutionary science, physiology or evolutionary psychology : i.e., we are pack animals. Instead my question is directed more at the 'heart and soul', the emotional centre of our being. What is it that being around others fulfils on ourselves and why do we yearn for both romantic/intimate relationships and just friendships and acquaintances?

Please explain your answers if possible.

Thanks.

ok so here's my story...my husband and i went to blockbuster to drop off some video and when we pulling into the parking lot there wasn't any parking space left so my husband got out of the car while i pulled to the side and right when he got out i pulled into the handicap parking space to do a 3 point turn so that when my husband got back - the passager door will be on his side. anyways when i was doing a 3 point turn, right when i pulled into the handicap zone waiting for a car behind me to pass by before i pulled out, the ticket guy pulled up and gave me a ticket for $345. I told him that i wasn't park there and that i was going to make a 3 point turn and my car was not a park or i didn't leave my car sitting there. the ticket guy told me that it does not matter if my car was on park or not that california has a strict rule about a car being on a handicap parking area if i don't have a handicap parking sign on my car. so i'm planning on fighting this ticket and wonder if i can win

Do I do it while it's filling up with water or wait for it to fill up completey and start slowly spinning the clothes in the cycle? Additionally, do I use hot or cold water? And if the soap reaches it, will the water be filled with suds? I've been using this crappy machine for months and I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right.

This is one of the few times I'm taking Yahoo Answers seriously, so HELP!!!!!!

I am trying to extend the life of my current computer do you think it is worth it or should I just buy a new one. I plan on doing some gaming and also some video editing. Today I purchased the following:

1. 320GB EIDE Western Digital Hard drive for $79, currently have the stock 160GB planning on reinstalling Windows XP on the new one and making the current stock 160GB my D drive.

2. Kingston 1GB DDR PC3200 RAM for $54, currently have 1.5GB, planning on replacing the 512MB with the 1GB stick to have a total of 2GB.

3. ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512MB AGP video card, got it on sale at Best Buy for $99. Is this a good card ???

4. CompUsa 500 watt PSU for $59, are CompUsa PSU's any good ???


So for about $300 do you think it will be worth it and do you think the combination will work OK ?? Or should I just save a few more months and purchase a new computer with a Quad Core, etc. ??? Please let me know what you all think. Thanks for any info. God Bless !

We have about 5% ownership of a small company where most shareholders are family members or friends. The stock value has decreased dramatically. I would like to sell my stock and take loss. Not many people know the company except the family and friends who are already shareholders. May I sell to some of the family members and take loss? Even if I surrender my shares to the company, it seems that it will benefit all shareholders as their actual ownership will increase proportionally. Can I surrender my shares, "benefit" those family members who are majority owners, and take loss?

Alternatively, can I sell to relatives who are not already a shareholder of this company? Who among the relatives I can sell the shares to and still take loss in my tax return?
