I moved to a new apartment in a new state about 6 mo ago. One of the conditions of the lease is that I needed to set up an account number with the electric company which I did.

A couple weeks pass and the electricity goes out. I call the company and they have a hard time finding my name or my account number but after a few minutes assured that they had me on file and there was just a brief outage and power would be restored. Since then...6 mo and no bill.

My apartment complex charges water and trash removal in the rent...my last apartment complex also included electricity. I was hoping I was wrong and didn't check the lease.

Tonight I check my voicemail. "Urgent call" from the Electric Co. I'm assuming my luck has run out and I'm getting a massive bill.

Is this disputable? Can I at least get out of late charges for their part in the error? Do they have to supply me with a detailed bill for 6 mo of energy use? Any advice would be great! THANKS!

early in his presidency gwb allowed the ban on the sale of assault rifles (introduced by his predecessor, president clinton) to expire.

robert hawkins used an assault rifle for his day's work at the mall. it maximised his kill potential (assault rifles are designed for that job).

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7130364.stm

president bush now tells us that he is praying for the nebraskan victims.

robert hawkins would almost certainly have killed fewer people with a handgun or a sports-rifle. would it have been better if president bush had kept the assault-rifle ban and spared his prayers?

or do believers prefer the empty gesture?

Im 24 years old and I have been thinking about purchasing a motorcycle (sportbike). I have little experience with motorcycles and I do not plan on stunting at all, I just want to ride. I can afford the bike, gear, and insurance without a problem and I want to start off with 600cc version. I understand the danger factor but I still want to ride. Please help if you can.

If you got the one of your dreams, what dreams did he meet? If you settled, what did you settle on and why (in other words, what did you either overlook or do without and why)? What advice would you give others as to the settling issue? What did you find most important/least important and why?

Ok here is the deal ladies and gents. . .
I have a 2-3 y/o Lab/Retriever and she is pretty hell bent on being the worlds most picky eater. She will eat dry food until she gets bored but wont touch it after a few days. I tend to mix wet food, gravy train, rice, or what have you that might help.

Basically shes getting pretty spoiled with it all. I have even tried taking what she didnt eat away from her and hoping that she will get hungry enough where she wont be so picky. She's doesnt care, she would rather starve to death then eat! My main concern is this... What can I do that wont exactly spoil her but also wont put too much weight on her.

I rescued her from a shelter and have had her for a year now. Shes healthy, enjoys life and I want the best for her. She hit the 80 lb mark and gets her daily exercise. I fear or risking her for severe hip dysplasia when she gets older due to excess weight gain because of all that junk food.

What can I do ???

Hey

I got a ticket for having a dead taillight. I live in the state of California; I’m just wondering what I need to do to take care of it. I can install the new taillight, but can I just go to my local city and get an officer to check that I have fixed my taillight? Or do I have to go to the city where I got the ticket in? Any help welcome, I’m confused by the ticket. I can’t even read the officer’s writing as to when and where I need to show up.

Thanks.

If after I make love to my wife her vagina makes a farting sound does that mean she's cheating? She also seems to act distant. And I practically have to beg her for sex. I also have other hints, but I don't want to tip you ladies off. So can you please explain how you all would act if you were cheating on your spouse? Don't forget to answer about the farting thing. Just curious.

From 1876-1932 he wrote the most delightful and stirring music. His band, from 1892-1931, is considered the world standard of concert bands, non pareil. In 1976 I had the pleasure of shaking hands with a gentleman who had met Mr. Sousa. Treat of a lifetime!

Some background about my family I (21) live with my mom (45) and my sister (going on 16). My moms a single mom so of course raising two girls money is tight

ok I found out back in about 2000 that my mom has this alter ego on the internet. she pretends to be in her late twenties, uses pictures of other people, and ends up on the phone with them for hours at a time either telling stupid stories, fighting and crying and threatening to kill herself.

Recently with her discovery of myspace its only gotten worse, she is " dating" this guy. I've heard her talking to him and to someone else about how she bought a good bottle of scotch and spent over 200 dollars on it, paid 250 towards his cell phone bill since he was calling her, and bought him this engraved necklace for about 200. I was hoping that she was lying to whoever she was talking to but had proof when a billing statement arrived at our house in her other name for a necklace that was engraved. I'm sorry thats way too much money to spend on a lie. My mom has my sisters money for her bands florida trip this spring and we suspect thats where she's getting this extra money

My mom has no idea I've know all of this and that I've actually found her myspace as well as his (unfortunately hers is private)

I'm out of ideas and I'm afraid to confront her about it.This is a long shot but has anyone dealt with anything like this... what should I do?

Thank you in advance
