My husbands best friend has a little girl who will be 2 in the spring. He has not been with the mother since shortly after her birth. The mother has custody of the girl, while our friend gets her on Saturday morning, and has to give her back on Sunday by 8 pm. Our friend is attempting to gain full custody of the girl, and has been fighting for it for several months.

Recently, a boyfriend of the mothers called CPS on her, because she was doing drugs. CPS tested her, and she failed.

Now, I thought that because she failed it, there would probably be a hearing and custody would go to our friend. But instead, CPS said that they are giving her another test in one week, and if she fails that one, they'll give her a third test. After that third fail is when 'further actions' will take place.

Why does she have to fail drug tests so many times and CPS allows the little girl to remain with her? What do they mean by 'further actions'?

Napoleon was an atheist but he did not ban religion believing that it did society good.So why the 'it's good for you and not good for me attitude'?

As a blonde crawls out of her wrecked car, the local sheriff asks her what
happened.

The blonde began, "It was the strangest thing! I
Looked up and saw a tree, so I swerved to the right. Then I saw another tree,
so I swerved to left. Then there was another tree, and another and another ..."

The sheriff thought for a minute and then said, "Mama ... I don’t know how to
tell you this, but the only thing even resembling a tree on this road for thirty
miles is your air freshener."

There were eleven people hanging onto a rope that came down from a plane. Ten
were blonde, and one was a brunette. They all decided that one person should get
off because if they didn’t, then the rope would break and everyone would die. No
one could decide who should go, so finally the brunette said, "I'll get off."
After a really touching speech from the brunette saying she would get off, all
of the blondes started
Clapping.

A blonde buys a handgun at a local pawn shop because she thinks her husband is
cheating on her. When she gets home, she finds her husband in bed with a woman.
The Blonde grabs the gun out of her purse, loads it and points it at her own
head.

Her husband seeing this starts screaming at her not to
Shoot.

The blonde replies "Shut up stupid! You're next!"

I broke up with my BF for several reasons. We live together and our relationship just kinda died. He accused me of cheating, which I didn't. We got into an argument about it and he told me not to come home. After a weekend of NOT answering his phone, I finally went thome and tried to talk to him. He said If I wanted to fix it I should have come home in the first place.?? I didn't want to stay because of all the fighting and he told me if I stayed away another night I could move out all my stuff. So I said ok and now I'm moving out. NOW he wants to bring me flowers and ask me to the movies and dinner. All the things he didn't do when I was home. I don't feel I should compromise the fact taht I don't deserve to be ignored, as no one does, but I feel so bad becasue he's calling me crying and upset. Moving in was against EVERYTHING that myself and my family believes in and since he kicked me out, there are a few people that want to kick his A$$ and that's not helping. WHAT TO DO??

Really, everyone whose been posting your scriptures and passages, it's all figurative and open to interpretation (and often loosely). My question is, if its the end-all of religious documents, the archetype for your existence and beliefs, why then wasn't it written literally? Could they (the authors) not have just said what they meant? It seems its all jumbled up, and if you put "this" with "that" it means whatever you wanted it to mean.

It says that it was proven on Oprah and Dateline. You have to remove the first name from the list and add your own. You then send the modified letter to 200 plus people. It even quotes some lottery section of the law to prove it is legal. It promises that a small percentage will send a dollar back to you, but as they send out their 200 letters with your name on it, you'll be in the money.

This guy has really gotten me confused. About three or four weeks ago I started talking to him over IM. When asked who I liked I said him. He seemed fine with it and seemed like he wanted to get to know me better. The next day, he sits next to me in my writing class and starts talking and joking around with me. I tried to IM him that night and he didn't answer. Actually, he didn't answer my IMs until about three days ago, where he talked for about 5 minutes, maybe less. Last night I attempted to figure out what was wrong with his head (and if the brain was working) and he wouldnt answer. I told him that I didn't knwo what I did but I'll leave him alone and won't talk to him. He still didn't answer. So he knew I was mad at him, and he wouldn't try to fix it. Today I walk into my writing class and he sits at the table next to mine, but the tables are so close together he might as well be sitting next to me. He kept putting his feet on my chair, taking my books, looking at my homework and

Using a force platform it's been found that when people jump straight up as high as they can they exert a net downward force for much of the time equal to about 2.3 times their weight. Approximately what acceleration do they achieve?

Ok, the company I work for is having a Christmas party in 2 days. Its is semi-formal, at a country club, plated dinner...very nice.

Well, my boss magically sprung a surprise on me, I have to find gifts for EVERYONE! There's only about 25 employees, and it is going to be determined on senority grouping. So for example, anyone who has been here more than 3 years will get a $200 value gift...more than 1 year, $100...etc.

So, can anyone give me an idea of general gifts in the ranges of $20-$280, $80-$140, and $140-$200. The youngest person is about 20 and the oldest is about $50, male and female.

Please help me!!! I only have 2 days...eeek
