Are there any laws in Georgia that limit the sell of Nyquil? We sell OTC medicine where I work and we had a guy come in and try to buy 6 bottles. I know about the pseudofed laws but am not sure about any with NyQuil. Where can I go look on internet to find out? Our local cops will not be any help, they are too lazy to do anything. Thanks!

" ...in 1659, a law was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony requiring a five-shilling fine from anyone caught "observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way." Christmas Day was deemed by the Puritans to be a time of seasonal excess with no Biblical authority."

"it wasn't until June 26, 1870 that the federal government declared Christmas as a federal holiday."

The Republican candidates are taking soft swings at George W. Bush in order to distance themselves from that aspect of the GOP...

But is it wise?

Would they be better off to try to reinvigorate Bush's dwindling reputation and then ride it to the polls?

Maybe their unwillingness to align with Bush will cause the whole party to look confused and unstable?

Here's the scenario....... You can plead you charge down to a misdemeanor charge of Terroristic Threats. Then of course you say.... Well, I can't work if I have a felony on my record. Then you take the plea bargin.

This is what is happening to alot of people in ************. Everything from Domestic Disputes to Disorderly Conduct can be pleaded down to a Misdemeanor meaning Terrorristics Threats.
It's good because you don't have to spend time in jail. but you sacrifice the chance to maintain or obtain a good paying job. Most employers don't know this is a low-grade charge. They read it and think TERRORISTS! And for those of us who cannot afford a decent attorney,we have to take those kinds of deals. I am ready for the closed minded "Shouldn't get in trouble." answers. There are circumstances outside of all reasonable explaination why we find ourselves in these situations. I don't expect those who have not had any experience with the law to understand what I am feeeling

but they jammed the remote in the vcr, cut the christmas tree in half, put the kids toothbrushes in the toliet, poured lotion all over the floor, and etc. They broke in during the night and had plenty of time to wreck stuff but took only two things. Does it seem like this was a crime of hate or a typical break in? When we walked in, it looked like whoever did it was pissed and took the xbox and dvd player as an after thought to make it look like a robbery. They also cut the phone line from the outside and took out a good amount of the line so it would be hard to repair. What are your veiws? Regular break in or should we be worried for her and my nephews safety because this was a break in with hate?

Starting February 2008, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will put into effect “Advance Passenger Information System (APIS).” U.S. Citizens will need permission from the United States Government to travel on air and sea vessels from or through the U.S. That includes foreign visitors.

The Nazis in 1933 invoked similar cross border travel measures against Germans Citizens who tried to leave the country.

remove, dismantle, tear down, etc., whatever EFFICIENCY, studio, in-law-quarters, etc. in their home (especially here in South Florida), by "supposed" city ordinances_which in reality there were none to begin with, and besides taxes were charged on these illegal additions up until someone 'tipped" authorities, and owners were made to tear them down.

Now that these same homeowners_in some cities in the thousands, literally_have lost or will be losing their homes in foreclosure, shouldn't there be some type of legal recourse against, city, county, and even state in the form of a HUGE civil suit?

City and Counties both were charging taxes (extremely high, which is one cause for foreclosure in S. Florida at present)> Wasn't it their duty, obligation, etc., to check over these properties once they were matched to the original records, tax cards, etc., and upon finding them w/ illegal additions, inform individual homeowner.

In other words they were ABETTING in supposed illegalities!

Ongoing insecurity hampering humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan – UN

UNQUOTE

How about this for a radical thought...?

MAYBE ... IF Politicians and aid-workers were to -
i) LISTEN to the security person on the ground...
ii) OBEY the advice of the security person on the ground without changing the goal posts AFTER an agreement has been made
iii) Indeed, maybe they should stay well away from the theatre of war until the Military and security forces have decided and stated a cease fire has been agreed upon to allow aid to go in?

Maybe they'd feel more secure when the guns are put down..

I was served with court papers recently due to a credit card debt that I have from a few years back. They are taking me to court in an attempt to garnish my paycheck for $$ owed (approx. $1000) If this were to happen, it would create a hardship for me whereas I would not have the $$ to fully pay my everyday household bills. I was thinking about contacting a lawyer to see if they could help me in trying to get this modified so that 10% of my pay would not be taken every week. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience in this area. Would contacting a lawyer be worth it, and do you think they'd be able to help me out? If I do nothing, they will definitely win a judgement against me, and the garnishments would begin. Another option I was considering was to contact the plaintiff to see if we could work out a payment arrangement with them instead of going to court. I'm just not sure if I can do that at this time since the papers have already been served.
