My brother doesnt want me to move and hates my husband and has said if I ever try to move , he will call cps, have the children taken away and given to him and I will have nothing. Its just a tactic to make me stay in closer proximity to him. What is my recourse as my children overheard this threat, are scared now and I am very uncomfortable that he will carry out his threats.

MY Sister is the EXECUTOR of my Mother's very small estates (less than $15000). What would a reasonable fee be for acting as the Executor of the estate.

Basically she arranged for the cremation, closed her bank accounts, gathered the funds into one account and is now ready to disburse them.

THANKS, EVERYBODY !!!!!

A GOP Plan To Oust Cheney

By Sally Quinn
Tuesday, June 26, 2007; 12:00 AM


The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week's blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.

As the reputed architect of the war in Iraq, Cheney is viewed as toxic, and as the administration's leading proponent of an attack on Iran, he is seen as dangerous. As long as he remains vice president, according to this thinking, he has the potential to drag down every member of the party -- including the presidential nominee -- in next year's elections.

Removing a sitting vice president is not easy, but this may be the moment. I remember Barry Goldwater sitting in my parents' living room in 1973, in the last days of Watergate, debating whether to lead a group of senior Republicans to the White House to tell President Nixon he had to go. His hesitation was that he felt loyalty to the president and the party. But in the end he felt a greater loyalty to his country, and he went to the White House.

In my opinion, alot of Americans seem to believe that the entire world loves us and wants to live here. That is false..most people do not like America since we invaded Iraq and even before that. Believe it or not....I was on a trip in Italy when 9/11 happened and many of the people there said that we deserved it. Shocking and horrifying but true. I have traveled to many other parts of the world...they do NOT like the U.S. or what we are doing.

I've worked at this place for a year now. I'm not a receptionist but i do cover the phones, when its needed. One receptionist quit, and they tried asking everyone to cover phone except me. Then finally they asked me because they ran out of options. They changed my hours around to cover the receptionist spot. They didn't ask me to be receptionist, just to change my hours and cover phones. Now thier posting a receptionist position in the paper, looking for someone to fill my time slot. The boss acts aloof around me, i feel ignored, and underappreciated by everyone. Everyone is so secretive, i only found out about the position in the paper because the lady call from the newspaper while i was covering phones. Are they looking for someone to be receptionist so i can go back to my old hours, or give me the boot? i need advice, thanks

I have known several people who lived in pubic housing who could truly afford their own place without depending on tax payers to house them. Do you think something better can be done with public housing rather than housing some people who could afford their own home? ..... Like turning them into homes for the elderly who couldn't afford to live on their own? Or do you think public housing is a good way to give people a start?

Did Bush want to get more of the military out of the states before attempting to give our country to the illegals?
Congress did not want to send more troops and Bush refused to listen to them or public opinion.
Does this give possible proof that he has sold out the citizens of our country to our enemies; while ensuring that Congress would have no legal military force large enough to be effective if hostilities do break out between illegals and citizens?

I am confused, we are told that we live in a free country. However, we are constantly told we cannot do things that we should be allowed to do. When we are charged with a crime we are told that we are innocent until proven guilty but are not treated as such. When we do finally get a trial to be judged by a jury of our peersthey are instructed that if they have ANY reasonable doubt that they cannot find us guilty. How does someone convict someone and NOT have a doubt? Unless I was there to see the crime myself I would always wonder if I sent someone that was innocent to prison."

After America was attacked on 9/11, the Nation pulled together and vowed to destroy the anarchofascist islamic terrorists in Afghanistan. At this time, Bush was a strong leader and rallied America against the clear and present danger of terrorists like Osama bin Laden.

We have now been attacked again by an invasion of illegal aliens bent on the utter destruction of America. With no respect for our laws, borders, language, and culture, they continue to enjoy more rights than us and steal from us. Can anyone explain how Bush has rallied the nation against this new clear and present threat? And what about the other traitors who support this bill?

According to California & U.S. laws, how long is too long to be ignored by a boss? My cousin was a no-show for a day and angered her boss. Now her boss isn't calling her with any new work hours or assignments. I don't think my cousin did the right thing, but now I'm also curious. If the boss continues to not repond to calls, how long before my cousin should do something? What should she do once her work has been uncommunicative for that long?

This is a sincere question. Please leave politics out of this.

The actual war ended in 2003 with the collapse of the Iraqi government. The currently ongoing conflict has none of the hallmarks of a war. We are not fighting open battles and are not at war with a government. It has all the hallmarks of an occupation (terrorist acts, collaboration with a new government, etc.). Such has happened countless times in the past.

Why do people keep calling it a war?

I finally chose AF out of every branch and now I am reading that they actually don't even travel outside of the US very often. That is what I really want, aside from other things by joining the military. I don't have family or obligations holding me at home, so I want to travel! Do certain job titles allow different travel opportunities? Does anyone know which they are? I actually do not know which career I want to persure, is there a list along with a breakdown of exactly what they are/do/etc? I am very excited to join the military, I just don't know which direction to take, the recruiters only tell me what I want to hear, I wanted personal experience advice. Anything helps!
