3 years ago, I had the last business trip before I left my company. When I came back, I submitted all the bills to be reimbursed for the actual cost of the expenses incurred. Afterwards, I left for another firm and have all forgotten about the trip.

But now a friend of mine, from the finance department of my old company, wrote to me that the department can't find the receipts to justify my expenses claim. So they asked me to give an explanation, implying that if it is not satisfactory, I will have to pay back.

I feel outrageous. I've given all the receipts, and my claim was authorized, but now they want me to explain again, supposedly because somehow they've lost the documents.

On the other hand, my old friend at the finance department will be scolded if she can't ''find the money''. And if I want, I can pay back since the amount is rather small.

I have some kind of dilemma here. What do you think i should do?

Can I still file in Illinois? Or do I have to file here? (Any Illinois or California Lawyers out there that can help with this as well?) Any answers to this question are welcome.

with all the crimes committed today murders, drive by shootings,etc. Why do these crimnals get by so easy? There should be stiffer penalties for crimes, and it should start with the juvinal devision and go on up.I feel that if you are old enough to know right from wrong then you are accountible for what you do at 12 you know killing is wrong then tried as adult. and cut the appeals process if you are guilty then limit the amount of times on appeals and do what must be done.

My cousin overdosed on pot. He was just a kid. 19 years old, and a senior in high school. Everyone love him. He was a football player, and an active member in our church.

Well 1 day, during his senior year, he went to a party. Some liberal parents had gone out of town, and left their child unattended (why am I not surprised by the irresponsible parents) so of course, he threw a party. Well when my cousin arrived the kids were drinking, smoking, and behaving poorly.

Since most of these kids were passing around a marijuana cigarette, my cousin felt out of place. At first, he refused to smoke. But the kids kept putting peer pressure on him by saying things like, "one puff won't hurt you" and "all the cool kids are doing it." Finally, my cousin succumbed to the pressure, and he took a puff.

Immediately he went into convulsions. Then he stopped breathing. Finally, his heart just gave out. By the time the paramedics arrived it was too late. My cousin was DOA.

Kids, don't do pot!

The chief argument against this, or so I've heard, is that such legislation is merely a surrogate for universal healthcare legislation. The big argument in favor of it, of course, is that the U.S. is subsidizing pharmaceuticals for the rest of the world, including well-to-do European and oil-rich nations. Thank you in advance for not expanding the scope of your answer into a discussion of universal healthcare itself.

My brother says that they are introducing new laws for probationary drivers in Australia. Apparently, they are limiting amount of passangers per vehicle, introducing a curfew (apparently 6pm - 6am), and increasing the amount of 'experience hours' before you get your Ps to 100 (currently 25).
Anyone know any info? (particularly WA)

Is this true?

Thnks

some people, companies and states insist on their freedom to follow their own policy. And they do. At some time such policy proves to be not in harmony with the policy of other people, companies and states. So, we end in painfull struggle for our own rights, in the sake of achieving our own goals for having more power and freedom over others.
Such independent policy causes wars, pain and ruin of some people, companies and states. if such policy become habit, we will end in evil society with evil greedy people and many broken hearts.
it all comes because of freedom of some people to do what they like not having any responsibility about the pain they cause to others.

Does any government have a "right to exist"? Can states or governments have rights? Or can only individuals have rights? Can groups of people have "special rights" based on their membership in that group that other individuals do not have, such as the "right" of Jews to have an exclusive state just for them? What if other ethnic groups tried this? What if blacks or whites declared that they had a "right" to their own exclusive state that non-members of their group did not have? Isn't Zionism just another brand of identity entitlement politics?

i contacted the sheriff's department and notified them that my parents (mainly my dad my mom quit i think) but that they did meth and marijuana and my dad got arrested and mom didnt and she posted bond and he was out the same day he got arrested and after the cops looked in the house and "searched" it and a few days after dad getting home from jail i got my chance to look through the house and there was still glass pipes, and marijuana pipes so i wrote an email to the head sheriff telling him the situation and he fowarded it to the sheriff on the case and the next day a sheriff called to talk to me and we only got to talk for maybe 5 minutes and he was just asking me yes or no questions and he could tell someone was around me (my dad was standing by me) and he said he would call back the next day while my dad was at work and i got off the phone and dad called his lawyer and dad said a sheriff could not have contact with me about an investigation without parental consent and that it
