I got 4 overdraft charges @ $35 each. Thats $140 down the drain. Yes I made a mistake, but after my account went negative I deposited the money the next day. Now my account is back to a normal balance. But what does US bank do they charge me $140 anyways. These banks make milions and billions in profit a year. Do they care about us (the little man)? nope they want every last penny out of the poor man they can get, because it makes them richer. I argued and argued. they wouldn't refund not one penny. Now what do I have to do. I have to borrow more money from them. I had to take what they call a checking account advance. So now instead of just $140 they are making 120% APR on the money I borrowed. These people are scam artist. please leave any input....... Stay away from US BANK....

I have seen pictures of MONALISA ,but could never find any mystery in this.i can not admire even modern paintings. most of these paintings seem to me expression of repressed sexuality only.

i do not think it's healthy and i wouldn't do it because death has to come naturally on its own terms

my question really is, what's the difference between ending your life and being depressed for the most part of it. isn't that how people get cancer and other types of illness

what are your thoughts on this

thanks

I have all these ideas for my first novel but, like an idiot, I'm too lazy to type an outline or buy index cards to write character descriptions. I know I have to have to write these ideas down or otherwise I'm sunk.

Any advice on how to get in the habit? Also, any ideas on HOW to outline a novel or maybe there's some kind of formula to it? Since this is going to be historical fiction, I'm also going to do some research (it's about a romance between an English schoolteacher and a young Scottish minister in late 19th century London) so how would the research fit in with the novel outline?

It's also weird because I keep having dreams about my book as well as who's going to star in the film adaptation...LOL. In fact, the only way I can visualize the book is to figure out who would star in a possible film adaptation of it.

I need some techniques for vampyre looking photographs. My models already have the vamp. spirit but that's not quite good enough. I'm not looking for anything specific, just a couple of photography techniques.

Christians, Muslims and Jews believe in the devil. Is this the common enemy, the devil divides the world ?

Is this the real enemy that pits man against man, brother against brother....?

Has the devil corrupted human philosophy by manipulating logic to suggest that we are all equal (a literal half-truth-we are all equal before God) and that men and women are the same ?

Does it exist ?

How does it work ?

Is the reality that mankind does not realize that 'truth' can 'lie' the 'original sin' from the garden of eden, when the devil deceived mankind ?

all right...i'm embarassed about this a little bit 'cause experienced people keep telling me to get real & not live in a fantasy.

i'd love to write a bestseller in a couple of years' time. i've given this a lot of thought and maybe, just maybe I could do it. the problem is, when I hear people saying these things I get completely discouraged about anything in life. this bestseller would save me in a way - it would leave me with a sense of great accomplishment and change me for the better. i've exp. a lot of hurt and this is the only thing I feel passionate about.

This is going over board for me its not white dissing black but both white and black dissing latins especially some italians iam not saying this in general.
I know that only puerto ricans have the rigths of staying in usa (iam puerto rican.). But iam considered that some police men have confused us and have tempted to to imply the law for other latins. My fellow friends please tell me your opinion.
