I mean "two" inches from his face to let him know the Iraq war is wrong and the USA will not win in the long run. "Plus" I more than likely will slap his face a few times to get his attention.

Im 23 yrs old, i have a boyfriend & we have been together for 4 yrs. 2 yrs ago we got in2 a huge car accident he was the driver i was the passenger, the accident was his fault it was BAD,i was badly hurt with broken bone,stitches and i was pregnant, nothing happened to him not even a scrach. After the car accident we broke up,he got arrested for hit & run & other charges & as for me i was in bed for 6 months not able to do anything & i also had to get an abortion .Allot of people told me to sue him so i did. The break up didn't last long & now we are still together & i still havent healed 100% .
this is verry complicated & stressful! im not quit sure if our lawyers know that we are still together. im wondering if that will affect my lawsuit against him in my settlement?
I know its weird that im sueing my B-F but I havent recovered fully & i don't know what could happen in the future with my injuries they might get worse who knows I was hurt really bad so i think its the rite thing .

You know how crazy long the post office lines are these days at Christmas time! I have 3 packages that I have to mail (all are over 1 pound). Therefore I can't drop them in the blue boxes (it's the rules they have posted). I already have them stamped with the correct postage, do I still need to stand in line or can I just go straight to the desk and hand it to an employee? Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

I know that the elections are coming up and people will vote for their prefered canidate and its time for bush to leave.However, does anyone actuall believe that bush will leave office when he is supposed to.I don't know why but i get this feeling that something stupid might happen that will give bush the opportunity to extend his time in office.Some incredibly random event will happen that will make the make the american vote or give bush the power to stay in office longer so that he can save us from whatever the event is.
Any thoughts

Reagan attended church sporadically throughout his life and was not very devout.

My guess:
The same things John Edwards was talking openly about that made him the unofficial "winner" of the last Democratic debate:
-Good wages and good benefits for working class Americans
-Taking better care of our environment
-Creating a government that serves the American people, NOT the darling special interest big business groups that the GOP panders to for donations.

You know,REAL issues!

Because, isnt it true that the longer the Republicans can stall with their unconstitutional approach to imposing religious beliefs on others, the less time the have to actually discuss issues that affect most Americans in the first place?

What's wrong with National Healthcare? Having the HMO's and PPO's just give big business another means to control our lives! Maybe that's because if people didn't like their jobs, they could just quit and move on. IIs big business afraid of having empowered employees? If we had National Healthcare we could once and for all reduce the complexity of of healthcare! Is it so wrong the we as citizens have the right to healthcare? I'm tired of people using the Constitution, etc. as an excuse. Shouldn't healthcare be part of our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Just maybe Canada, England, and Europe just might have it right. Why can't there be a balance between the power of big business and the American People?

I know someone who molested a child about 30 years ago and he has never been convicted or accused or anything. The victim in the situation is the step-child of the molestor. My problem is that the victim allows her daughter to be around her step-father and know him as her grandfather. The little girl is 8 and her father is my boyfriend. We don't want her around that man at all, but the lawyer said that unless her mother stands up and does something, we have no proof, and nothing will be done. Is there websites or something where we can post his name or picture to let the world know to stay away from this man? This is making us sick because child molestors are always repeat offeders. They don't stop with one child. Any advice is appreciated!

December 13th 2007.

More than 6,000 illegal immigrants were cleared to work in the security industry, the home secretary has revealed.

A quarter of non-European Economic Area nationals registered with the Security Industry Authority (SIA) should not have been given professional licences, MPs were told on Thursday.

Jacqui Smith told the Commons that of the 39,885 non-EEA nationals processed by the SIA before July 2 this year, 6,653 did not have a right to work in the UK.

In another 4,447 cases, the Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) does not believe the individuals have provide the right to work, she added.

Does this worry you because it scares the hell out of me?

My friend has a myspace page were he allows myspace users to post pictures and comments on his page of females in compromising positions. The females have no idea, and it's pretty big in my area. He tells me that he can't get sued becasue he's not the one posting the pictures, but I'm not so sure about that. Most of the ladies are in high school or a year out of high school, and a lot of people will see them. One girl said she will sue him, but he says she can't because she has to deal with the guy that posted the pictures of her, not him.

On October 22 I completed a form SS-5 (Request for replacement Social Security Card) and, per instructions, mailed it with my passport enclosed, certified mail, to my local Social Security office.(5TH FLOOR, 237 W 48TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10036 ). My return receipt shows that the package arrived and was signed for by a SSA employee.

Time passes. Now it's a month and a half later - far longer than the 2 week turnaround promised. No response from the SSA. I called their main toll free number and tried to get a current status. No luck; I have to contact my local office. The local office deliberately does not list their phone number.

So now I am left with only one option, the one I wanted to avoid in the first place. I have to take a day off from work and stand in line at the SSA to find out what happened to my application and passport.

Does anyone have a good alternative for me? I don't want to waste a day at the SSA. Thanks!

this isnt so much a question but more standing on the soapbox. I saw an AP report that Al Quaidas No.2 , Al-Zawahri had a radiocast about the recent "round table" talks between Israel and Palestine with other nations representing to resolve and make a little peace, stating that the palestinian state didnt need to be involved with infidels . Jesus , you know these guys are such cowards , they have videos pop up from who knows where or when with some crazy *** message to fight the free world or they broadcast on militant radio. They have no balls , they will never come into public for all to see to spread the word. As they say , we may be infidels etc, but we at least we make public apperances and try at least to make an effort to promote resolve. I am including all that try , foreign friends , and here at home. Well thats enough stream blowing, oh yeah one more thing, No. 2 suites Zawahri, hes full of sh##!

lane changes, and show common courtesy, is when a police officer is spotted near by. Then EVERYBODY obeys the law. Other than that the drivers here don't give a hoot for other road users, no signals,ETC It's a dangerous state to drive in. almost as bad as New York city

I worked at dairy queen only for a month. I had to call in because I needed to get x-rays on my back. The manager fired me and he refuses to give me my check. He says that I didn't sign in on the right paper, but that's because he never gave me a paper to sign in on and I would tell the other manager every day and the other manager would tell me to write down my hours on loose leaf. So I did and then when i wanted my check 2 months ago, he told me he lost the papers so i wrote down all my hours that were printed on the schedule and every week he would tell me that something happened so he couldn't get the check. Now he refuses to get me my check because he says it's been two months and he just doesnt care. They don't have any dairy queens above him so it's up to him if he gives me my check or not. But I didn't work there those 2 weeks for nothing so who can I talk to??
