My father moved down to Arkansas for work and put some stuff in a storage locker. He called me today and told me he was a month behind and when he called the place to arrange payment , they told him it had been auctioned off. Don't they have to provide some kind of letter informing him of this sale and also place an ad in the legals? What could his course of action be. He lost all his furniture and me and my brothers baby pictures.

Thank you and God Bless.

A massively empowered Iran with control over the oil fields in the south of Iraq is one of the BEST case scenarios.

A massive Sunni/Shi'ite sectarian war ACROSS THE REGION, oil prices throught the roof and terrorists being bred by the thousand in a failed state is also very possible.

(And for those who don't get it - when dealing with a country whose leader is reliant on democratic election, oil is power)

My wife has been trying to vounteer with a hospital for a month now. She went in to do the 6 hour intro meeting. The 1st 2 hours were for her but the last 4 hours were all about benifits and vacation packages that didn't even apply to her. She informed this 3rd rate hospital about all the time they waisted of hers and how they should have given her a hospital walk through in a writen letter. Now they are calling her a racist and not allowing her to volunteer at the hospital. She is from California & San fancisco. She strongly dislikes ignorent, lazy, people, who waist other peoples time and money but she is not racist. She knows the facts on many issues but what are the facts in this issue? She purchased scrubs to go volunteer and spent 6 hours on this interview along with getting her hopes up just to knock her down. Is there any legal action that we can take against this hospital?

I don't mean interested, I mean hooked.

So my question is this.

How did you start becoming involved with learning the laws and what kept you hooked into this type of field?

It was talking about how peaceful fallujah iraq is and how the people welcome american soldiers now that the insurgents are gone.

Doesn't this mean the surge is working?
American deaths have ceased, is that a good sign?

Isn't this just more proof that the cut and run liberals have lost another argument?

Any ideas?

I am interested in joining the NAVY and I have talked to a recruiter about joining the NAVY as an enlisted and I wasn't know that with a BS degree I could join the NAVY as an officer (the OCS program) until I did some research online.

I am a permanent resident and I have already applied for U.S. citizenship. I am just waiting for the interview to become an U.S citizen. Should I wait till I get my citizenship or just join the navy as an enlisted?

I was told that there's a GPA requirement for OCS and my GPA is way too low to compete with others. Is there anyway that I can off set the low GPA ?

I want to do something relative to civil engineering. If I joined the navy would I be guaranteed that I would stay in the field of civil engineering?

What are the differences between an officer and an enlisted for a 2 year contract.

Thank you for your time !

If a woman moves her boyfriend in with her kids and the dude beats or rapes the kids, should the woman go to jail for endangering the welfare of a child?

I notice that it is almost never the kids father, its normally the man that the mother is sleeping with.

we've been writing back and forth for about 2 months, and in his most recent letter, he asked me for money. not alot of money, about $100, but he said $50/ $75 would be ok. he said that this was because he has no one else to ask, and that there is no way to earn any money in the prison, and that sometimes he had to sell his main course of lunch to pay for a stamp. anyway, he wants the money so that he can celebrate thanks giving, and other years he has missed out when the others have enjoyed themselves. the money doesn't go directly to him, its used as sort of currency so that he can buy things from the store. watcha all think? should i give it to him or not?
please avoid the "if he's there he doesn't deserve any luxeries" etc, everyone deserves a second chance and everyone needs a friend. thanks guys.xxx

My father recently became seriously ill from our apartment complex negilgence. The complex sprayed chemicals and painted the downstairs apartment below my father's apartment. They did not fumigate or open any windows after doing this. As a result, these fumes came through our ventilation late at night and sickened my father. He is a heart patient with chronic lung disease. This aggraveted his condition and has put him in the hospital. Do we have a case against this complex and what kind of attorney handles these matters?

Driving accross California in recent months I see less Mexican and latino workers in construction sites, restaurants... (many of them being illegals as we know), I see more other types of immigrants and Anglo-Americans (from very few to few)

I hear news that raids are happening nationwide and laws are getting tough
so they start to leave on their own (attrition or self-deportation)
but there's still supposedly around 12M illegals.
So is this really what i see or just an illusion? Any data?
Are they leaving to visible levels?

While at my sister-in-law's wedding in CA, my dog's escaped my yard and were picked up by Animal Control. We had recently moved to Copperas Cove from San Antonio, so I didn't know the Local Laws. As soon as we returned , I went to the pound and bailed them out. I paid $70 in impound fees. They informed me I also needed a rabies certificate and city licenses within 72hours. Since we had moved I had no idea where their rabies certificates were, but it was almost time again, so I rushed them to the vet and got them their shots- $24, then went and got them licensed for Copperas Cove- $2 and bought an invisible fence system to keep them in from now on $180.
Now , I have just received a SUMMONS to COURT on 2 counts of "Domestic Pet at Large" and 2 counts of "No City License" . It says they are going to issue a warrant for my arrest! I don't understand. I did what I was supposed to do. I have NEVER been introuble with the law and I don't have money to pay fines or lawyers. Someone Help!

With Britian getting ready to halve the 5,000 soldiers they have in Iraq, Debra Cagan, deputy assistant secretary of defense for coalition affairs was sent to the capitals of our Iraq "coalition allies": Moldova, Macedona, Albania, Czech Republic, and Kazakhstan to beg their leaders to send more troops to Iraq.

Currently:
-Moldovia has 11 troops in Iraq
-Macedonia has 40 troops in Iraq
-Kazakhstan has 27 military engineers in Iraq
-Czech Republic has 100 troops in Iraq
-Albania has 120 troops in Iraq

The US makes up 94% of 'coalition' forces.

Arguably, all these countries have economic issues which preclude the deployment of any more troops or aid.
