If someone disagrees with you, they will clone your account or email you obsessively. Some people will even create new accounts if if you block them. Seriously, what's up with that.

I have recently returned to work after having my son. I work 19 hours a week for the local council run library. I have adequte childcare organised for the hours I am contracted to work.

Today I was TOLD I had to attend a branch meeting next Thursday, my day off. I said I would be able to attend as long as my son was able to come along with you.

Now this might sound bizzare but I used to only work Saturdays in another branch and I seen people actually bring their kids to work and I was always allowed to take my son along to meetings. They seem to bend the rules when it suits them.

Anyway, the area manager said that I couldn't bring him along (the meeting is only 1 hour long and pretting informal with only 4 people) and I was obliged to go to the meeting. We had a bit of a stale mate and it has been rescheduled for a day I am working, meaning someone else has to come in on their day off.

How tragic it is when the President and Senate are more concerned about people who have broken our laws and how to reward them than they are about our soldiers who are fighting Bush's war. Where will the money come from to help our soldiers when the illegals have taken it all?

This is a very sad time in the USA when our government has turned its back on the very people who elected them and have served them proudly.
God Bless the USA!

I made a purchase because the item was listed for a very low price. My order was then voided because they claim their system had an error. When I contacted the company regarding this, they said they could not honor the first price because of the system error, I'd have to order again, this time at the new--$250 higher--price. I have my receipt from the first order showing the initial price. Can they charge me more even though none of this was my fault?

Her latest nutcase remarks after calling Edwards a fa----- is saying she wished Edwards was killed by terrorists. She also said the Edwards were using their son's death and her wife's fight against cancer for politics.

Even Republicans McCain, Guiliani, and Mitt Romney have distanced themselves from her. They have said her remarks were in appropriate, offensive, and that there should be no place for name calling in a political debate.

Okay, the illegal immigrants are breaking the law--and you say they ALL should be punished (by deportation or whatever)--so you oppose any amnesty.

NOW--there are hundreds of thousands of people--businesspeople, managers, etc. who have ALREADY hired illegals and so broken the law. And note--we're nottalking about future violations--jsut the ones who are already guilty of hiring illegals.

The question: do you want EVERY ONE of these criminals to ALSO be punished--by jail, fines, or whatever legal penalties apply? ALL of them--including those who are otherwise law-abidig. No exptenuating circumstances, no consideration of the effect on their families--no matter who they are?

If your answer isn't an unqualified YES--then I submit you are being a hypocrite.

Which starts on 1st July. personally im looking forward to it for health reasons. But this also makes me believe that this will not be policed properly, Just like the Mobile-phone talking while driving because i have even seen police using their phone while driving. I just hope people are sensible about this because my attitude is if you can go without a cigarette on a long haul flight (say 9 hours approx) then you should be able to give up completely. Admitally i do not smoke so it's easy for me to comment. What do you think?

Or does he get to choose based on what is convenient?

"Dick Cheney... is asserting that his office is not actually part of the executive branch."
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2007/06/22/cheney_asserts_hes_part_of_the_legislative_branch/

"the Administration claimed executive privilege in substance while blocking disclosure of what was discussed during meetings of Vice President Dick Cheney's taskforce on energy"
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1601450,00.html

Do you think he should be considered part of the executive branch? or the legislative branch? Both? Neither?

I am turning 36 in Nov. 2007, would like to finish college (9 months to go) and get an Associates degree before I enlist - to get in as an officer. Any good ideas on military branches to join when seeking high rank and/ or becoming an officer in a relatively short time frame? I heard that you can only become an officer up to age 29. Is that true? If yes, what other military career route can one choose to hop the ladder in a short period of time, get good schooling or college and desired MOS? Thank you for helpfull answers in advance and God bless you.

I was just looking at something which had "proof of purchase" written on it. I'm sure I've seen many such products. Why would they even bother writing that on it? How can something be a "proof of purchase" if the customer has never actually purchased it?
