My partner was supposed to be on a contract as of December 2006. She was a grill cook at a restaurant in Picton, NSW. After 10/11 months of trying to "get her contract", she was finally told she was going to get put on a normal wage, for eg, hourly rates.

You see, she was working the minimum 76 hour fortnight plus on average, working 3 to 4, sometimes 8 hours overtime each fortnight.

For 11 months, she was only getting paid for 76 hours, and even then she was being underpaid about $60 to $70 per fortnight.

She went to industrial relations about it and they have come to the conclusion she is owed just over $1500. My stepson is owed a little over $2500.

The business has now been sold and my partner has been working for the new owner (he is a former employe), since November 19.

My partner has been getting harrassed, intimidated and humiliated by the new (and former) owner because she took a stand for her and everyone elses entitlements.

What do you think is right?

I like names that are not very common but are very beautiful. So far I have:

Boys:
Sylas (or Silas)
Jace (or Jase)
Owen

I don't have any girls names. I am open to suggestions and I also want to know what you think of the others.

I have repeatedly found myself attracted to abusive men. For some reason, this is the kind of relationship I find myself wanting. I hate it and it has ruined my self-esteem. What on earth is wrong with me and how can I fix it before it's too late?

I myself feel horrible about all the bad things in this world. I feel like crying sometimes just thinking of people who have abortions, or those who cheat on husbands/wives, people that are murdered for various reasons,etc. It just saddens me all the terrible things in the world. I wish I could do even more to make it stop. I know all I can do is pray and stand up for what I believe and be a light by living my life as close to what God would want me to live like as possible.

What are your thoughts on this?

*just so others know, I'm not perfect and do not claim to be and I am not saying I'm any better than anyone else, I just feel horrible that bad things happen. I feel bad that people starve, have to walk barefoot on the street, etc.*

28. I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

29. Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.

30. Remember that postcard Grandpa sent us from Florida of that Alligator biting that woman's bottom? That's right; we all thought it was hilarious. But, it turns out we were wrong. That alligator was sexually harassing that woman.

31. Old people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.

32. How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine making course, and I forgot how to drive?

33. Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover.
