I have a savings account with my credit union that offers a .050% rate. They offer a money market account beginning at 2.50%, compounded daily.

If your money is as accessible through a money market account, and you can deposit or withdraw money at any time from that account (my CU allows this, as long as I maintain a minimum balance), is there any reason to keep money within my savings account? It seems I would earn more interest by transferring my cash into a money market account.

A blonde woman walks into a chemist and asks the
Assistant for some bottom deodorant. The assistant, a little bemused, explains
to the woman that they don't sell bottom deodorant, and never have.

The blonde, unfazed, assures the lady behind the counter that she has been
buying the stuff from here on a regular basis, and would like some more.

The shop assistant thinks for a minute, knowing full well that they don't
stock, or have ever sold, such an item. She smiles at the thick blonde Pollock
and says, "One moment please, I will get the chemist."

The chemist looks at the blonde and says, "Can I help you miss?"

"I would like to buy some bottom deodorant please," says the Blonde.

"I'm sorry," says the chemist, "we don't have any."

"But I always get it here," says the blonde.

"Do you have the container it comes in?"

"Yes!" Said the blonde, "I'll go home and get it."

She returns with the container and hands it to the
Chemist who looks at it and says to the her, "This is just a normal stick of
under arm deodorant".

The annoyed blonde snatches the container back and reads out Loud from the
container, "To apply, push up bottom."

My boyfriend and I had carpet installed over a year ago in our basement. We went in to the carpet installer, picked out what we wanted, arranged install, and I handed over a cheque so the carpet could be ordered (I was told it was $1300 to have the carpet ordered). I never signed anything, didn't even recieve an invoice or statement. Carpet came in, installer came to my house and installed the carpet, and left. Still I never signed anything, not even with their installer. Now they are trying to come after me for money owing, that I was never told about. They have even gone as far as wanting to take me to court over it. I am going to fight it, as there is nothing stating my signature on a contract, or invoice saying I still owe a certain amount of money. What are my chances? I've even told them I would pay the money, but now they want to charge me all this additional money that makes no sense, and I feel they are just trying to scam me. Help!?!

I am 20 years old, and I live with my parents. I have been an Atheist since I was about 10 years old. I have an A-level in Philosophy and my reasoning is just about as informed as it gets. There is absolutely nothing that would ever make me believe in God.

My dad is the leader of a "Christian Rock" group, and my mum helps him everything to do with the church. I fear that I will be kicked out of the house if I tell my parents the truth. However, I have a place to go if I am.

For the last 10 years I have gone to church, listening to the bull**** that they talk there, pretending I am a Christian to make my parents happy. My parents want me to help them out with a PowerPoint presentation at a concert they are holding this Sunday. I have to either carry on pretending and waste more of my time (which really sickens me, to be perfectly honest) or tell them the truth.

Should I Tell My Parents I'm Not A Christian?

My 16 month old loves to "repair" things. He tries to take apart toys, chairs, anything that looks mechanical. He already has a toy drill and tool set which he loves, but I would like to find a toy that is take apart and put together for toddlers. Any suggestions?

BTW - he has a Mr. Potato Head and likes it well enough, but I was hoping for something more mechanical in appearance since he LOVES Daddy's laptop and other gadgets.

About a year ago there was this girl who hung out with our group who was obessed with witchcraft...After a falling out with her past boyfriend he had all of this bad luck afterwards. He felt she had cursed him. He and I had a short fling a few months later and to my knowledge she found out. Well since that has passed I have lost 4 ppl, my baby has had surgey, my sister has gotten Cancer, my mother in law has had a stroke, and my sister has lost feeling in her left foot..she is diabetic. My question is do u think it is possible she has put a curse on me? I do not believe this kind of stuff but she is hardcore into it. This stuff has all happened within 7 months time. It all started 4 months after the fling..what do u think?

To summarise; I've known this guy for two months now. I went for drinks with his friends, things seemed cool. I went back to his house... we kissed and hugged but that's pretty much it. He got out of a 2 year relationship in the summer and I got out of a 6 month one. Anywho, we began to get close, and it felt wicked until he put on this 'guard' that we admitted he was putting on because he doesn't want to get hurt. Also, he said that he doesn't want to get into a serious relationship for obvious reasons. This hurt and made me want to, even though initially, I didn't. All of a sudden, he became distant... we could both feel it. He was no longer cute & sensitive. I feel as though I'm treading on eggshells. It's horrible! Some of his friends (especially his BEST friend) are quite mean to me these days, even though it's allegedly a 'joke!' - Errrrr, NO! He's such a good guy... what happened? He said, out of the blue, when I said I missed him, that I was being clingy and that we're mates =/

One very obvious effect of chemotherapy is that people generally lose all of their hair a few weeks after the drugs enter their system. Why do you think chemotherapy drugs cause a person's hair to fall out?

I know that both eating fast food and microwaveable dishes all the time is not good. However, I live in a dorm and don't have many other options, as we don't have kitchens. In the grand scheme of things, which is worse: fast food or microwaveable meals?

My husband and I have been married for 12 yrs. and 7 yrs ago we split cuz I liked to go out & he didnt; I met a guy, but I always denied anything happening. We got back together for about 1yr and we split a 2nd time cuz he was talking to a co-worker and decided he was not happy w/me anymore.(she understood him?)..We tried again for the sake of our 2 daughters. I know there is a lot of commerodery when you work in a large group. He is a gaurd in a prison and a couple of days ago a female officer called his cell phone in the middle of the night, but hung up. He called back to the prison and asked if anyone had called him and they patched the call to her. They talked for about 15 minutes. I asked him why she had called and said she just needed advise.He denies anything is going on and says he talks to everyone at work. Our relationship is normal...we have problems with bills and payments, kids, work, like any other couple.Our sex life is ok, but should I be worried or let it go?

I was watching Dr. Phil today, and a woman wanted to sell her posessions to get treatments that MIGHT help her get pregnant. I understand that adoption is expensive too, but it's more certain than treatments. Why is that not an option for so many people?
