It hit me and the police report said its his fault. I have no insurance so the trucks insurance company looks at my car and says the care is worth $1,500 but the damage is $3,700. so they say they can either take my car and give me $1,700 for it or I keep it and they give me $1,200

I don't see how thats helping me. It seems like I am coming out worse. If I keep the car and they give me the 1,200 how will I get my car fixed if the damge is worth 3,700?

Can they do this or are they trying to get over

I'm not a muslim, but I'm disapointed by the many ignorant people here.
It seems that its very popular these days to trash talk muslims.
and yet its only a small minority are terroists.
For example, hitler killed people in the name of christianity, but no one calls every christian they see a "nazi"
my point is, we should stop critizing and lumping a whole group of people just because of some bad apples.

It's just not Christmas to me without some fruitcake. My Grandmother used to make it so it brings back a nice memory. And we all need those.

My husband and I are currently living with his parents, and I am having huge problems with my mother-in-law. Before my husband and I got married, I adored his mother and thought she would make a wonderful mother-in-law, but as soon as we decided we were going to get married, everything changed and she became the mother-in-law from hell. It started off with her trying to dictate every aspect of our wedding, but I won't go into detail about that or the multitude of other problems I've had with her because this will just end up being way too long. Instead, I'm going to ask for advice on a few of the most recent problems I have been experiencing with her. Before I do though, I think it's important to note my husband is an only child, and what I consider to be a momma's boy. Anyway, I'm 5'2'' and have always been skinny, around 100 lbs most of the life, but as with most people's weight, it fluctuates. My mother-in-law would constantly tell me how skinny I was and that I needed to gain some weight. I didn't really have a problem with my weight because I've always been petite and had a hard time gaining weight, but I wouldn't have minded gaining some because I felt I would look better if I did. Just recently, I managed to gain 10 lbs, so I now weigh 110 lbs, and now ALL I hear from my mother-in-law, every SINGLE time I see her (no exaggeration) is how much weight I have gained, and now, according to her, I have a ''belly'' and maybe I should go to the gym and work out because apparentely now I weigh too much. (I should mention she weighs a lot more than I do, and is overweight for her height) I'm so sick of being criticized by her! It's like I'm never good enough. Before I gained the weight I was too skinny and unhealthy looking, and now I weigh too much! There is no pleasing her. I honestly had no issue with gaining the weight, people have commented on how much better I look now, including my husband, but with her constant criticism I have developed somewhat of a complex about it. What really gets to me is the fact that when she makes these comments in front of my husband, he says nothing! He makes absolutely no attempt to defend me or tell her he thinks I look a lot better now. It's really hurtful and I feel so vulnerable when she makes mean remarks about the way I look because I'm too polite and respectful towards her to say anything back in my defense. I really wish my husband would get a backbone and say something to her. Whenever I make comments to him about her rude remarks, he just tells me I look good the way I am and don't need to lose any weight whatsoever. Why can't he tell his mother that? I really feel it's his place to say something. Another issue for her, is the paleness of my skin! I'm very pale and she constantly tells me I need to get a tan. I actually used to tan in tanning beds all the time, until I realized just how bad for your skin it actually is, so I stopped. I don't want to end up all leathery and wrinkled. And besides, my husband PREFERS pale skin so I don't need to tan to appease him anyway. My mother-in-law goes to extreme lengths, telling other people in the family to talk my husband into ''letting me tan'' first of all, my husband and I don't control one another, if I wanted to tan I would, but I don't want to destroy my skin or end up with skin cancer as a result of tanning, and I'm just lucky my husband happens to prefer pale skin over tanned. I just don't know how to approach this issue either. In this case, my husband does tell her he likes my skin the colour it is, but she still persists! It's none of her business and I wish she would realize that and stop interfering. This is getting pretty long, so I'm just going to ask advice for one final problem, even though I could go on for days. The other day, I had just got out of the shower and I was getting ready so we could go out. I was running behind so to save a little time I asked my husband if he would bring me a drink, and he agreed. When he returned with my drink, he sort of laughed to himself and said ''my mom said you need to start getting your own stuff, she said she always see's me getting drinks and things for you and you need to start getting it yourself'' First of all, it's none of her business what my husband and I do for each other! I don't interfere with what she and her husband do for each other, or anyother aspect of their relationship for that matter, so what gives her the right? Second of all, he doesn't get everything for me, I get things for myself most of the time even though I feel uncomfortable doing so since it's not my own home, and I also bring him things when he asks me to, so it's not like I'm lazy or that this is all one-sided, I simply asked him to bring me a drink because I was running late and didn't want to take extra time to do that, it's not like he was doing anything. It was this simple, little thing and she turned it into a huge issue. Usually I wouldn't have said anything in response to her comment he relayed to me, but this time I just exploded on my husband and said, ''I don't think that's any of her business! No one has the right to interfere in our relationship. What we do for each other is between us.'' He just kept quiet and didn't say anything, so I didn't talk to him again for several hours. She's constantly causing problems in our relationship and I just can't take it anymore. Please don't advise me to sit down with my mother-in-law and talk about how I'm feeling because there is no talking to this woman. She is impossible and I know for certain it would be a waste of time and just cause more problems and friction since I live with her. I'd be more inclined to say something and stand up for myself if we didn't live with her because I wouldn't be so worried about causing annimosity between us. And please don't advise my husband and I to move out because it simply isn't an option at this time. Believe me, if it was, we would be gone already. Please give any words of advice you may have on how to deal with this situation in regard to my mother-in-law and my husband, and anything else you feel may be helpful. Any words of advice/support will be highly appreciated. I hope these problems don't seem completely pety, they're just intensified for me because I have been dealing with her constant controlling, condescending, rude, patronizing ways for a year now. There have been many more major problems than this in my relationship with her, such as her trying to force me to convert to her religion, but I just picked a recent few that I don't know how to deal with. I'm losing my mind and I'm getting to the point where I'm just going to explode if I don't figure out how to handle this. Thanks!

...the resistance due to the skin effect?

There are formulas to calculate both, but I don't know how the skin effect resistance works at low frequencies where the resistance due to the skin effect is less than the DC resistance. Do they add? Rdc + Rac? Is the AC resistance ever less than the DC resistance?

My mother in law has been a source of trouble for my husband, his father and brothers his entire life. She has always been nice to me until now, when I called her out on something. My sister in law had the same trouble with her a year ago. (she called her out on something too) My Mother in law volunteered to help babysit if we needed her and when we needed her she threw a fit (as a 49 year old woman) Grrr. She has health issues but not bad enough to not babysit. My husband and father in law said she is better than she used to be. This makes me nervous for our future, as soon as I can afford a babysitter I am going to because she seems unstable. My husband and I are both starting new jobs and needed help with getting our daughter watched. I just needed to vent.. Any Advice? Words of wisdom?

am of lineage that includes nobility and royalty. I want a woman who is not a peasant and also has good ancestry so I can have a son who inherits the good genes and carries on the bloodline. But it is awkward to ask women about their ancestry. I believe most of the females I know of are peasants and have no noble ancestry to speak of.

It's not like I would really care about the woman. All I care about is keeping my bloodline going. After I have a son, I could care less if she got cancer and died, for example. I would favor my son more than the woman.

My husband had a biopsy of a mold done about a month and a half ago. He had his follow-up today and she told him it was precancerous. She then removed a larger/deeper portion of the skin. I know that this means that it had a higher chance of becoming cancer, and I was just like "oh thank god she caught it". But then my mom (i don't know why i tell her anything) was like, "oh my god, does he have to have chemo, that's so serious!" and she's a nurse! she totally freaked me out.
has anyone had a precancerous mole before? what happens after the diagnosis, anything? should we go for a second opinion...I don't want to find out in 2 months that we should have done more and that he's dying....
any input would be great! :)

Should I come back to this section and try to show how we as Muslims really feel and believe, or should I just stick to my original plan of never coming back here again? I left because nobody really wants to learn or open their minds up to new ideas. I've seen some on here state false things over and over again even though they were proven wrong numerous times. It kind of makes one feel that it would do no good to show any kind of goodness or tolerance since we're all painted with the same brush anyway.

How does this make you feel?

In my area anyway, the ticket buying system was changed from a system where you bought tickets in the order in which you stood in line to one in which numbers were drawn to determine in what order you bought tickets.

The old way, people would stand in line overnight or longer to get tickets. Now, you just have to get there before they draw numbers.

The longest I myself have stood in line was about 13 or 14 hours to get Indiana basketball season tickets back when they were even more of a consistent Top 20 team than they are now. They were hard to get, and still are.

Also, stood in line about 12 hours for Pink Floyd tickets.

What system does your area use for in-person ticket sales, and how long have you stood in line? What were the tickets for?

Thanks for reading this long question!

She is so unreasonable, I just put on my white gloves and ran them on the top of the door and they showed some dust on the fingertips, I casually mentioned that perhaps she could prioritise cleaning over cooking ( as she admits that if it cannot be deep fried its not worth cooking ) but would she listen no! I need a way of apologising that will not comprimise my ethics, basically I am not sorry, if she spent less time watching 60 minute makeover and took out a duster more than 4 times a week I would be much happier
