Ick! I hate them. I have them all over my forehead and nose. You can't see them from just looking at me, but I know they're there. I can see them up close in the mirror, I try to get them out myself, but for every 1 that goes away, 3 more appear! Do those microdermabrasion kits really help? Or Retinol? Also, I'm pregnant, and I heard Retinol isn't good to use during pregnancy. I'm almost 30, why does my face still think it's a teenager? Pregnancy affects your skin, but it's not that, I've always had this problem. Any solutions out there? Thanks!

Okay, so I'm sure that this question has been beaten to death, but I thought I'd give people another chance to recount their tales.

Here's mine: Yesterday I was in a barn show, not a big to-do. I knew the course, but I was so focused on getting each jump right I started my courtesy circle and realized that I had not done the last THREE jumps! (In my defense, the fifth and eighth fence were the same single in the same direction.) My thought process was literally "Good, I'm done. Wait- I haven't done the line the other direction. I should probably do that." So I finished the circle, did the line and single and did my courtesy circle. After the placing, the judge talks to each of us to tell us what we did well and what we could improve. She kindly let me know that I had trotted my last fence. I wasn't sure, but I had blocked out the course right after I rode it. I wen't home and looked at the video of my ride. I did trot it. Oops!

If that's true, then why would God suddenly after the person dies and goes to Heaven, erase all of it or change their desires against their own will and make them His obedient servant serving and worshipping Him all the time? That's like saying God doesn't care about what I want anymore, he just wants me to do nothing but serve Him, reguarless of what I wanted to do when I was alive.


If God knows exactly what I'm thinking and all the things I still want to do in this day and age, then surely, God has probably prepared a place for me in Heaven so that when I die someday, I get to live out all my fantasies there.


(After I die, I hope to still know what I know now and still have my free will and personal desires and get to fulfill them there.)

would take patrons' orders in English, speak to patrons in English and then turn around and speak to each other in a foreign language. This was done over and over in the middle of a crowded resraunt.
I understood the language, nothing wrong was said but others around me were a bit upset and had opinions that ranged from, "what are they saying to each other ...is it about us?" to "why do these people speak to us in Our language and then to each other, apparently in their own language? It makes me feel like they are discriminating against those of us who are partrons." Several of our group did not want to tip these people as they felt disrespected.
What do you think/feel about this and how should these employee folks behave. Is their activity appropriate?

What happened was is that my aunt (not my real aunt but mom's friend) is a bit of a control freak. My mother has been busy taking care of her family, work-life, school with my younger siblings, and my aunt is wondering why she hardly has enough time for her. Out of the blue she e-mails my mother and asks "when are we going out for coffee? is our friendship on the rocks?"
My mother was pretty upset by it and both of my parents got into an argument when my dad asked her why she even bothers with this woman? I too was hurt by it, btw i'm 17, so I sent her an e-mail saying that we have a life, my mother is busy taking care of us and works very hard, and since you don't have children you don't know what is involved with raising a family. So i'm sorry my mother isn't free for coffee chit-chat with you.
After this she calls our house SCREAMING at my mother for what i sent her and now my mom is mad at me for saying it. Did I really do anything in the wrong here?
Also, my dad is glad.

I contracted with Hovnanian to have a new home built in a sub-division in Vineland NJ. I have another home in Ocean County NJ that I have to sell in order to buy the new Hov home. I was told at the time I put a $15K deposit on the new house that if I was unable to sell my existing home that I would not qualify for the mortgage on the new home - and therefore I would be released from the contract and my deposit would be returned. It was going to take almost a year to build the new house so I had that long to sell my existing home. With times as they are I have been unable to sell my house and now the new one will be ready shortly. I called them to tell them it was not looking good because I've not sold my home. They said if I don't take delivery of the new house they will keep my $15K deposit and may even try to get more out of me! The lady that told me the original story no longer works there and I have nothing in writing. Can they do this? This doesn't sound legal!! HELP!!!

My notes say that the prohibition of compulsion of the 5th amendment right against self-incriminating statements does not stop revoking ones license for failure to take breath test.

is a breath test the type of "testimonial" evidence the 5th seeks to protect? I guess I am confused as to why the state can force breath test:

Is it legal because it is not testimonial?

or

Is it legal because the threat of losing ones license is not considered "compelling" under the 5th?

My boyfriend lives in apartment complex in Maryland. The heater/furnace broke 3 1/2 weeks ago. He has notified them of this several times and have received no response at all. No date of when it will get fixed or anything.
He and I (I live 300 miles away) have called the maintenance # at all times of day (8-5 when there supposed to be open)just to get the answering service. He works 16 hour days so he rarely can go into the rental office in person to complain about this. My question are what are his rights in the situation? Can he call someone in the government? Can he legally withhold rent into till this situation is rectified?
