As he was ripping plaster from bathroom-wall studs, Kitts found bundles of bills totaling $182,000 wrapped in pre-World War II Plain Dealer news pages and tucked into boxes. The money is in such good condition, and some of the bills are so rare and collectible, that one currency appraiser valued the treasure at up to $500,000, Kitts said.

But there's a hitch:

The walls from which Kitts pulled the money aren't his walls. The house isn't his house. Nobody knows for certain whose money it is.

When Bob Kitts and Amanda Reece first tallied the 70-year-old currency that Kitts found hidden in Reece's bathroom walls, they were gleeful. Now, they're feuding.

Let's say that , hypothetically speaking, someone was on the Delayed entry program for the military, but did not quite come clean about some things in the past. If that person told the truth after already having a contract and being on DEP, and it made him inelligible of joining, would that count as fraudulent enlistment with all of those consequences, or would it not be fraudulent enlistment untill after one already did recruit training, and all of that?

My husband's grandmother gave out quite a bit of money this year for Christmas. My husband's check ended up being for $12,000. His mom has the check in her possession, and will not give it to my husband. The check is made out from my husband's grandmother to him. His mother took him to the bank and tried to get him to sign the check over to her. She told him that she was going to put all $12,000 in a savings account in her name so he couldn't have access, and said that he couldn't have any of it. My husband refused to sign the check obviously, but she still has it. My husband and I are both deploying to Iraq in 2 days. She is mad that he didn't finish college this semester, and that's her reasoning to try to take the money. Some of the money could be used right now so we don't have to worry about paying bills online while deployed. She is a lawyer and a judge, but my husband and I are curious. Is it legal for her to hold a personal check from my husband's grandmother to him?

Why then did a bunch of thugs break into my neighbours daughters place tie her up and then rob them in front of her daughter and then TAZER their helpless POODLE? The police need to be trained further in using communication than something that can mame or kill! I deplore the use of these vechicles of " DEATH ". Sadly, the Dog is okay, but is more gun shy than ever. It's like shoot now ask questions later, deal with the authorities. Why, not use rubber bullets or pepper spray instead? Or something a little less deadly!

It seems to me that most women are going to vote for Hillary just because she is a women. Most African American and Hispanic are going to vote for Obama just because he is a minority. Why can't we judge presidential candidates on their skills and knowledge and not on their race or sex?

Bush Doll would say? To be fair what would the pull string former Pres. Clinton doll say? You know how some of the baby dolls, when you pull the string say "Feed me ***** i'm hungry". Naw just kidding, that would be a Saturday Night Live doll.

He is getting involved with the NFL and cable companies so that games on NFL Network might be seen by more people.

Is this a good idea for a government figure to get involved like this?

Obviously, all factions of the U.S. ruling elite were not involved in the conspiracy. Since the evidence overwhelmingly proves a government conspiracy, why don't those members who were not involved demand a real investigation? There are no candidates for president who have come forward to demand the 9-11 investigation be reopened. The 9-11 conspiracy isn't even mentioned in the debates, yet it is the biggest crime ever perpetrated against the American people. Is this because the revelation that 9-11 was, in fact, a government conspiracy would only serve to underscore the criminal lengths that the ruling wealth-elite are willing to go to forward their personal agenda? The neocons laid out their agenda in the PNAC where they called for U.S. global hegemony. In it, they wrote of the need for a "new Pearl Harbor." The evidence is well documented that they acted on their entire agenda. What would happen to America's ruling elite were the real criminals in our society brought to justice?

As we all know we don't have good memories from Somalia when we were there but isn't it time to take actions. The Ethiopian army is not doing there job in protecting the Somalian people from radical Islamist insurgents. Last time we checked we were fighting a War on Terrorism. Wouldn't you consider these insurgents terrorists. It's beleived that they have links to the Al Qeada group. Somalia has turned into the worst crisis in Africa. 200000 people have left the country. What should the US do sit back and watch or take action?

Had the Bush admin not fabricated lies and cherry picked information, yet the war was launched anyway, wouldn't there be fewer people upset with the war regardless of the outcome?

My guess is had the Bush admin been honest, the Iraq war would not have happened at that time. Your thoughts please.

To actually have an understanding of how the public feel about things? Obviously ignoring the trolls and people like that who just answer for points or to cause arguments. I just feel that the vast majority of the needs of the country are being ignored by those, especially the PC Brigade. I can understand the methods behind their policies, but it's causing such bad feeling in the country on so many issues - it feels at times they do not have a proper touch on reality. As I'm ending university now, I have made friends with a lot of people who are going into politics and have had this discussion with them. Just wondering what you all thought??

Like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park?

Or do you think corporations should be allowed to operate within these areas, come up with their own tourist operations, and maybe build some strip malls, mcdonalds, Wal-marts, hotels, if they think they can make some profit from it?

I met a man a little over a year ago. We hit it off and he moved into my house about 4 months ago. Shortly after I started to find little signs that he was smoking pot. I confronted him and he said he didn't do it very often not to worry about it. I'm total against it and will not allow it in my house or around my daughter. He brushed it off. I insisted that I won't tolerate it. For a wile I didn't see anymore signs but kept my eyes open. Last week I found little pot on the desk in my bedroom. We work different shifts so we don't see each other during the week. I confronted him again and told him I wanted him to leave. I can't except the sneaking around behind my back when I flat out told him I wanted nothing to do with it and he must have had it in my house again. My problem is that he said this is his residence and I have to go to court and get a 30 day eviction notice like he was a tenant. I live in FL. and don't know the laws. Do I have to do all that? Please help
