I am purchasing a home and have recieved a large $ gift for my down payment. Does anyone know how this will effect my taxes this year? I have a gift receipt. Does the donor pay the taxes or do I? If I pay them, how do they factor that into my taxes?

I would like to know what the official stance is within the Jewish community (both Orthodox and conservative), as far as attending Christmas parties is concerned? Is it considered 'taboo' or is it perfectly fine?

I met my baby's daddy/husband (my actual 1st) 2 years ago playing in a coed softball tournament. I moved in with him really fast, got pregnant, and got married. I'm 22 & he's 32 but whatever. The thing is, 4 months being with him, he never told me he had kids and I discovered that when I moved in and by that time I was pg, so I was in a bind. Right now this whole experience has made me very mature & I'm used to having somewhat of a perfect life with my own parents & siblings, that that's how I want my own family to be. Just me, my husband & OUR OWN kids. I have no room in my heart for his 2 older sons who seem they would be better off with their mother as she's very wealthy but no room in her bank account to want them either. I fel bad & my mom says I entered this relationship being an instant mom to his sons and that's a consequence I have 2 deal with. Am I just being cruel or has any1 in this world ever felt the way I feel? My family accepts his kids but why can't I? trying 2 cope!

Reason I'm asking: yesterday a Buddhist answerer mentioned how Buddha would sometimes not even answer a question because giving any answer would lead people even further astray from the dharma.

I wonder if this applies to us Christians too. Sometimes I run across a question that is so freakin OFF in its very premise. ("If God is all-powerful, can he do something that he can't do while he's not not-doing it?") I wrestle with whether or not I should answer it just to shed, I hope, a little ray of Light in the dark thorny tangle.

What serves a vastly far-afield, off-base person better? Giving an answer he isn't ready for and trusting the Holy Spirit will make it clear to him later ... or not answering at all, letting him work it out on his own, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide him?

A man is in a hotel lobby. He wants to ask the clerk a question.
As he turns to go to the front desk, he accidentally bumps into a woman
beside him and as he does, his elbow goes into her breast. They
are both quite startled.

The man turns to her and says, "Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as
your breast, I know you'll forgive me."

She replies, "If your penis is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 436."

Hi all, my Female friend who I have a huge crush on borrowed my Laptop because her Computer crashed and she had to finish her research paper. Well I absent mindedly gave it to her without deleting some pics lets say were for my eyes and my ex girlfriend only. And on top of it, my friend sent me an E-Mail pic of my Crush that loaned my Laptop a pic of her in her Bathing Suit while she went to Spring Break. Right now she has my Laptop, do I just cross my fingers and hope she's not nosey enough to browse at my files, or start running towards her dorm room and get it back for 2 Minutes and deleting it?

I was raise old school and taught to hold open doors for ladies, to say please and thank you for courtesies that were extended to me, to give up a seat for elderly people and pregnant women, etc. It seems that in the past decade and/or generation or so, these common courtesies are seldom seen. Is it because the younger generation were not taught these things ? Is it because everyone is too busy or involved in their own existence to really care ? Do you think todays moral/ethical values are being misplaced ? Do you see this world in general, becoming a more hostile enviornment due to world circumstances ? What are your thoughts on the reasons for these changes ?

Question: Which seems more like a family to you

1) A lone Father and his son, all alone, with no mother, and a bunch af brothers and sisters in some catatonic comatose sleep state
2) A Father AND a loving mother, brothers and sisters who are always celebrating feast days and birthdays, and come together every day to break bread at their Father's table?

The Catechism Of The Catholic Church speaks about the "supernatural appreciation of faith (sensus fidei)" as a "characteristic" of the "body of the faithful". Catholics and protestants can sling Bible quotes all day, but when I put all the scriptures aside for a moment, my "sensus fidei" tells me that number 2 (above), which is the Catholic view of the Church, is far more loving and familial than number 1 (above), which is the barren, stripped down vision of my seperated brothers and sisters, the protestants

So which choice, 1 or 2, seems more like a family to YOU ?
