My mother in law showed up at our house yesterday unannounced which is fine, she doesnt do it often and right away she started trouble with me. I believe its because we were on our way out and in her mind thought she would spend time with our son, which obviously wasnt going to happen as we were literally getting in the car, this set her off. She called me a druggie..not true.. my husband called her on this and she said she didnt know what drugs, then said I was fooling around on my husband, again not true to which my husband got upset about and then she proceeding to call me a whore and rip a cross that I was wearing on a necklace off my neck.
My question is...would you let your son around this woman even tho its his grandmother, my son is not very old but if she says these things to start trouble, not only to me, but infront of her son, my neighbours and infront of our son, does it not make you wonder what she would say to my child about me when I'm not around...whats your thoughts

I've never tried to make decorated sugar cookies before but will try tonight. I keep hearing about people using brushes...what kind? Pastry brushes? Regular paint brush? Is there one that is recommended over another? And where do I buy it? Thank you!

I see a lot of people answering with words like "man isn't responsible for climate change because I don't think it is". Is your climate denial based on a feeling that you have or based on a scientific study? If it's based on a scientific study please provide the source of your information so that we may all read it. What journal does it appear in title, date, issue, volume, etc..

Read it all. I use county water and I'm drinking county water. I took one quart and heated it up in the microwave for four minutes. I let it sit in the refrigerator in a pitcher for a couple of hours. I am now drinking the water but the water still smells like it has a little bit of chlorine in it. Is it safe to drink chlorinated water your whole life? How can I completely get rid of the chlorine? I heard that chlorine kills bacteria and germs but it also said that drinking chlorinated water causes certain types of cancers. If you tell me to boil the water, how many minutes in the microwave does it take to boil the water? Is it safe?

Overall which of these two cards are the best:
Visiontek ATI HD 3870
Visiontek ATI HD 3850
I have been receving more cons about the 3870, but the 3850 has no cons and has the best ratings everywhere.
It has to play crysis at top performance, Half-life, and all new games out.
I just want to know which one has a smooth and reliable performance on that woun't let me down for a long time.
Please i have been researching for almost 4 months now.

After 10 years of unhappy marriage, I want out.... but my husband won't leave or do anything. I can't stand it, I feel so trapped, it is really doing my head. I feel so angry, he has no repect for my feelings at all. There are 2 children at home (12 & 9) 1 is his, and all we do is argue and fight in front of them. He swears, and has in the past been violent to the property and has kicked and spat at me.We split for a year, but then I stupidly went back. Now I don't know where to turn. I don't want to leave my home, as this is my kids home and I have pets that I can't abandon, as he wouldn't look after them. I have nowhere to go...... I have asked him to leave but he won't.I just can't face going into another year with him, as I just can't live with him any longer.(we went to Marriage Guidance last year, and he didn't take it seriously)

The best part for me is the feeling I get from giving. The worst part is the people that expect a gift when they give you one!

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet
table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see
carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum
balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can and quickly. You can't find it
any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000
calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an
'eggnog-aholic' or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it! Have one for
me. Have two. It's later than you think.

3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of
gravy. Gravy does not stand-alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your
mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk
or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a
sports car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to
control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat
other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New
Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do.
This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the
buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of
eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like
frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position
yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before
becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of
shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

8. Same for pies. Apple, pumpkin and mincemeat - have a slice of
each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one
pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert
-- Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the
mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have
some standards.

10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the
party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Reread
tips: Start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

Remember: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention
of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in hand, body thoroughly used up,
totally worn out and screaming 'WOO-HOO what a ride!'

Merry Christmas!

Okay. so I've been "sick" for over a month and a half now. i get so many headaches and i just started getting bloody noses. i basically have no energy no matter how much i sleep and when i got to sleep at night i just can't fall asleep. I'm rarely hungry but sometimes I'll just get like struck with hunger. I get pains in my stomach every once and awhile. I dont have a fever however. I get chills all the time and i also get dizzy often. my sineses also are painful sometimes. i've been to the doctor and saw 2 different doctors and one said sinese infection and the other said nothing was wrong but it may be mono. I've taken medications and o-t-c things. but i just don't know whats wrong.

I'm a senior in St. Louis, MO and I've been considering Physical Therapy as a career.
I applied to Saint Louis University and Maryville University in St. Louis. I got accepted to both.

However, Saint Louis University has been my 1st choice but if I go there I only get $1000 scholarship every year which means I'll end up having to pay about $27,000 per year. I just got a letter from Maryville and they're giving me a scholarship of $5,500 per year. Meaning each year I'll only have to pay $13,000.

I don't want to base my decision on the tuition. But, I come from a really, really poor family!
