In example we have adopted 3 boys whos parents gave them up over 10 years ago, one of the children was 3 months old the others were 4 and 5. Thru myspace the birth mother found them and contacted them behind our backs. Thier myspace was deleted but they go to yahoo, aim , inbox etc and just keep making new myspace accounts. We have parental controls set at home but they go to friends homes or library and just make new ones. Thier Birth mother was a horrible person who had every chance in the world to keep her kids, she only wanted 2 of them , she didn't want the brown child , just the 2 blondes. I know they are just curious, but they went too far and gave out thier real names, our address, and thier birth mother posted pictures of our adopted children on her myspace. The children knew they were adopted. Do you think to have a myspace page a parent should have to actually sign something saying it;s ok to have a page or should children be able to continue endangering themselves?

Seems there's too many people just wasting time!, waiting til marrige for sex, being nice to everybody!, oblivious to the real world. Is this you?, or do you do what you want, when you want, and deal with any consequences later?....

By law my new landlady is required to provide bins for recycling in our building and she does not, even though the city picks up everything recyclable and it could not be simpler to do. I've emailed her to ask her several times what the situation is with recycling in the building and she never got back to me; finally another tenant told me that she just doesn't bother. This tenant said she was actually told to go out to a neighboring building and put her recycling in with their stuff! In this day and age I think this is just ridiculous and I'm kind of pissed about it, but if I complain to the city won't she know it was me since I've been asking about it? I don't want to get on her bad side because we like the apartment but I really feel strongly that this is just criminally lazy and I want it to change. Thanks!

I became a gf of Mr.A for 7 years up to now. His family used to ask him to get married to a rich girl but he refused because he loved me. He is a quiet person, he never liked romatic feeling but he is faithful. Since i've known him, i can't do many things that i want like singing, dancing, wearing sexy dress because he dislikes...so i have to follow him. He often easy to get angry if i did s.th wrong but he is easy to compose. Last year, i came to study in another country while he was continueing his work at our country. He came to visit me twice a month. However, while i was in another country alone i knew Mr. B. W first talked as friends but i found out we had many things the sames then we decided to be bf and gf (i told him that i already broked up with Mr. A but in fact not yet). what should i do? Mr A has built loving with me 7 years and people know about us and he is still faithful to me even he is so sensitive (angry) , while Mr.B even i just know him but we have the same hobbie

I work for a pediatric hospital in a division of sub-specialty doctors. You would think they would have enough money to buy whatever they may need. One of our most "respected" doctors always takes food that does not belong to her. Leftovers in the fridge, someone elses unopened drink, whatever. However, this morning was the topper. A girl on our administrative staff brought in 2 tins of butter cookies for everyone to share. Around 8:00 she went back to get a cookie and noticed one of the tins were gone. There were only about 4 people in the office at this point, not enough time for them to be gone. When we started looking, we looked in this particular doctors office and found the tin of cookies hiding behind her briefcase. What would you do? We have tried posting notes around saying not to take other peoples food or food meant for everyone and have even sent out emails.

is drained. I tried to jump it but it only made a clicking sound when I turned the key. I dont think there is anything wrong with the actual battery, is this the alternator? Its been sitting for about 2 and a half months. Its a ford ranger, and I tried jumping with a ford escort? Do i just need a bigger vehicle to jump it with?

In my opinion religions that expect their followers to have faith or to just depend of scriptural reassurance
about God will eventually lose their grip on their followers (Example- "Post Christian" Europe) or result in
fanaticism (as exhibited by the followers of Islam and Christians in America).Once a degree of critical thinking
gets established , religion starts losing its grip on the followers. Which explaing why critical thinking is being
resisted in countries like Iran,Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.


The only religion that will ever survive is one that offers direct perception of God, one that offers proof of God,else
mankind will have to move beyond religion.

Stabbed to death for...being a scientist. Best part? The guy was only given a 5 year sentence (eligible to get out in 3) because he was "of good character".

Thanks Aussies, you've shown us it's not a serious crime to stab an "evolutionist" if you're drunk but "of good character".

So, should we rethink our stance on R&S?

My husband is Dominican and dark-skinned. I am white and pretty fair skinned. Of course I think about how my baby is going to look just like any parent does - regardles of race. I think about what color his eyes will be, if he'll have a little button nose, etc. However, I fell like EVERYONE else focuses on what his skin tome will be. They say they hope he takes after me - even his family says it. I find that so odd andnever know how to respond so I just say that he has two good looking parents so he'll be lucky either way.

Of course I know my husband is dark but I never think about it -- he is just my husnband to me. It's only when others stress it that it makes me think about it. Anyone else having a bi-racial baby experience this?
