Am I the only one who would be tempted to keep him prisoner myself (say in the garage), so that he could do no harm, but so that the authorities would carry on looking for him?

Wouldn't it be amusing to take him places around the world and take pictures of him, then send them as postcards to Bush and Blair, saying "Guess where I am? Wish you were here?"

Or are you the mean spirited sort who would have him committed to a psychiatric unit under a false name, because he believed he was Osama Bin Laden?

Here's the situation, I made a verbal agreement with a surveyor over 4 months ago to have a 1/3 acre surveyed. The surveyor said it'd be done within 2-6 weeks and gave a price of $500-$700. I asked him to call first before he did anything to make sure I was there at the time and we could go over everything. Well, 6 weeks pass, I don't hear a word. Then 4 months pass nothing. Then one weekend, I head up to the place at the lake and notice stuff has been moved around, someone climbed over one of the fences(its over 6 feet in height, so it took some effort), and I notice the 2 pins are in the ground. Then, I receive a bill from the surveyor 2 weeks later charging me $1400. Can he really do this? The work was never done within the agreed timeframe and the agreed price. Any input would be appreciated.

was arrested five yrs ago for endangering the welfare of a child by a court marshal. no charges were filed. after i bonded out of jail no court date was set nor was there a case number. now all of the sudden if a background check is done this shows up under a dfs(division of family services) report yet my criminal background check comes up clean and the report on the arrest says unsubstantiated....how can this be possible for it to show up not to mention it's been 5 yrs. ago. a srgt. from the sheriff's dpt. told me that this wasn't a formal charge just a notation. if nothing shows on my criminal background check then would an exspoungement even do me any good?

I was only cutting the long grass over his side of the fence so I could watch his wife sunbathing without craning my neck. Now the blade has shell all over it and it won't work. How was I to know he had a tortoise? The cat got out of the way okay.

If it was a deterent and it was working, there wouldn't be anyone on deathrow would there?

Though is the prospect of life in prison enough to deter people from committing serious crimes?

What else can be done?

I have a friend who has just been shopped by (we think his ex g/f) - he's already on bail because of defending himself towards a physical attack by her (long story). He has been claiming benefits for many years - he has rheumatoid arthritis in his knees which he is on medication for, but has also been working because he can't put food in his son's mouth just off the benefits. So he's been blagging for a very understandable reason.

He's just been written to by the authorities about this and he's in a very harsh position.

Now, I have heard of people getting caught and paying off what they owe in order to stay out of prison. Is this a possibility? If so I might be able to help him as he really doesn't need this right now or ever. Anything anyone out there knows about how we can get round this will be very useful and much appreciated.

Please help!!

I have been divorced since 2000. My husband pressured me into joint custody. He is primary and has since moved two hundred miles away. He wants me to have nothing to do with our son who was one at that time. I have not been able to see, talk, or hear my son in over three years. I call no one answers; I go there his wife calls the cops. His family wont help me. I am not a bad mother just not as wealthy as his family. Is there anything I can do? We (my daughter and I ) miss him soo much. I don't even know what he looks like anymore!

Fortunately I think the pendulum is swinging back... I mean slowly but surely. Do you think Roe vs. Wade will ever be overturned nationally or do you think it will just happen state by state? And how long until you think infanticide will be illegal nationwide again? 2015? 2050? 2100? I'm afraid it'll still stick around for a few centuries, I mean if slavery was legal for that long, why wouldn't this be?

I work for a credit card company and people call in yelling and cursing, then asking for help. Why do people do this when that just makes you not want to help them at all?? This is a question and also a suggestion that if you ever need help with a company that can control your APR or late fees or anything that will cost you money you may want to be nice to them.
