I have a gift card given to me last year, I have not used it, Visa has the money, which I am sure that they have invested, and the are charging me fees to hold & use my money. My card has lost half of its value. I have repeatedly contacted them for my funds, they promise & promise but I am yet to see any of my funds returned. Is there any merit to a class action lawsuit against these gift card companies? How should I proceed? I have thought about corresponding with AARP since I'm a retired person living on my pension. Help!!!

How can they NOT expect negativity to come back to them?

I often see some Christian questions like: "Why do atheists attack Christianity?"

Isn't cause and effect a reality in their worldview? Or is their entire worldview so encapsulated by religious superstition that simple cause and effect becomes 'prophecy' to them?

Christians, Muslims, what do you think?

Okay, so I broke my pelvis about 4 weeks ago in an accident,
and at first i didn't know (maybe because of the painkillers) but
now I have both chronic and acute pain in my foot (only left foot)
It's the typical burning feeling, pins and needles pain, acute pain
occurs when i change position(i.e get up, sit up, etc etc)
despite my left leg being colder than my right leg by a noticeable amount, 2 doctors i've visited ruled it out as pinched nerve as there are nerves running to the foot where my pelvis fracture is.

The question now is, how should i treat this? ice my back by pelvis area? or my foot area? i heard some people say use warm water?

thanks a lot in advance

I was reading an old copy of Take A Break that i've just found in my desk and on the tips page was this:

Save money on toilet roll, go to the loo at work. Not only do you have to buy less loo roll, you're also getting paid for it!

Who are these people and what are they thinking when they write into magazines?

Hi

Our landlord ignores our emails and will not respond to our questions re: fixing problems in our rental home. We have sump pump issues, broken stairways and other issues. We sent a registered letter, giving him 10 days in which to fix the problems.

What do we do now?

If he does not respond or fix the problems, what can we do?

Withhold rent in escrow?

Leave the property?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Very best wishes

Lisa

Is there such a thing?...

I'm a real perfectionist and have a few minor spots on my tattoo that I wanna touch up. I wanna do it myself instead of hiring a tattoo artist to touch up something that he can't even see...

How can I touch up my own tattoo???

An incident occurred in a supermarket recently, when the following was witnessed:

A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout.

When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier, she made a loud remark about the English Flag lapel pin, which the female cashier was wearing on her blouse.
The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, 'Yes, I always wear it proudly. My son serves abroad with the forces and I wear it for him'.
The Muslim woman then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing and killing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

At that point, a Gentleman standing in the queue stepped forward, and interrupted with a calm and gentle voice, and said to the Iraqi woman:
'Excuse me, but hundreds of thousands of men and women, just like this ladies son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that people just like YOU can stand here, in England, which
