I have two large dogs, which are now displaced. I could handle a couple of days with them being boarded or taking them to work, but now I'm broke (from dog care). It's not fair for the dogs, that they can't play in the big backyard, or that they have to be boarded. there are no gates up, and basically our backyard is exposed for all to see. The neighbor casually mentioned to us that he was re-doing the fence, so that we could take proper action with the dogs. In conversation the other day, he said it would be 3 weeks! He doesn't have dogs, so he could care less about the well being of my dogs or myself. What legal action can I take to get this fence built NOW, and my dogs free to roam in my backyard?

My son keeps getting kick out of daycares due to his disability.
Is this fair? Can daycares kick him out due to his disability?
Is there any daycare centers that take care of children with disability's? His disability is SPD and ADHD and he is on SSI for this.
Also it is possible that he might have Autism or be Bi Polar.

He has been kicked out of 8 different daycares. and They had told me that it is due to his disability.
I thought this was against the Disability Act.

Well, my boyfriend and I are planning to purchase a house within the next month. I am putting down $100,000 and he is only putting down $20,000. If we ever marry then divorce, would the $100,000 I put down on the house be considered pre-marital property since the house was purchased way before we were married? Is there any way to make sure I get my $100,000 back in the event of a divorce?

The Rest Of the Story
By Paul Harvey
THIS IS AN EYE-OPENER!


Conveniently Forgotten Facts.

Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that
a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die.
Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first
tied to a chair.

Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours
by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him.

When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther
member, Warren Kimbro took Rackley outside and put
a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found
floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven,
Connecticut.

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what
happened to these Black Panthers?

In 1977 (only eight years later), only one of the
killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro,
managed to get a scholarship to Harvard and
became good friends with none other than Al Gore.
He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern
Connecticut State College.

Isn't that something? As a '60s radical you can
pump a bullet into someone's head and a few years
later, in the same state, you can become an
assistant college dean!

Only in America!

Erica Huggins was the woman who served the
Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture.
Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a
California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so
easily? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts
of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers.
These two people actually went so far as to shut down
Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the
accused Black Panthers during their trial.

One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee.
Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a
college dean. He isn't a member of a California School
Board. He is now head of the United States Justice
Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none
other than Bill Clinton.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?

Is this other notable Panther defender now a school
board member? Is this other Panther apologist now
an assistant college dean? No, neither!
The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical
law student at Yale University at the time. She is
now known as The "smartest woman in the world."
She is none other than the Democratic senator from
the State of New York---- our former First Lady, the
incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton!

And now, as Paul Harvey said; "You know the rest
of the story".

Remember this story when Hillary runs for Presidency
of our great nation!

right now. My dad is an alcoholic and a composive gambler. He is retired and they have good sources of income from his pension as well as their social security, but he's a compulsive alcoholic and gambler. Just this month he had $14,000 deposited into his checking account, we don't know from where, but it's all gone now. Their house is paid off so he could be drawing money from their equity. their also have an IRA account with some $40,000 in in but it may not be that much there anymore. My mom's sick of this and wants out but she's afraid of everything. I'm afraid of taking her in because she's very negative and she drains me emotionally. I don't want her problem to hurt me and my marriage and children. She can't be taught how to live productively, I tried. What can I do LEGALLY as a child to help them without hurting myself in the process? BTW, they were abusive to me when I was young, my dad for being an irresponsible ****** and my mom for not knowing any better. Help me.

I have a biology project, and i'm a little stuck. I'm NOT asking you to give me any answers, but i'm interested in your two cents.

Here is a fictitious situation: there's one liver and three EQUALLY WELL MATCHED candidates, a rich man, age 68, a poor single mother of three little kids, 24, and a 3rd year med student, 25.

What criteria should be used to decide who gets the liver? (i thought it's unethical to decide based on age, gender, or race) Based on this, who should get the liver?

I guess at first thought you may want to give the single mother the liver, i did too, but give it a little more thought. whats your reason to? You don't know any of these people.
For all you know, the single mother could be a drug addict. Maybe, maybe not. The Med student could drop out of school anytime. You don't know. The old guy could be the CEO of a company, if he kicks the bucket, what'll happen to the buisness?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions. =D

I have a friend in her mid-20's who teaches developmental classes at a nearby university. She has been battling cancer for a while and has gone through several rounds of chemo. Obviously she's doing okay if she's able to be in a classroom, but with the chemo her immune system is currently somewhat compromised. The situation I'm asking about is this. One of her students brought her daughter to class. About halfway through class, she tells the room that the daughter is there because her school (or daycare, not clear on that) believed she had a contagious illness (either chicken pox or measles, not clear on that either). Dr. Mom, however, didn't believe anything was wrong with little Typhoid Mary and brought her to class. Today I heard my friend was in the hospital with whichever contagious illness it was. Is there any legal action that can be taken against the mother (paying medical bills or the like) since she knowingly brought the sick child into the classroom? Just curious.

I have a friend who is currently 20 yrs old. 1 1/2 yrs ago, she was stupid, met a man off of a phone chatline, went with him to a hotel where he drugged her and held her captive for 2 1/2 days and raped her. There was obviously no evidence, as she didn't go to the hospital afterwards. She knows his name but not where he is. Any advice for her to help her get justice?

I got married 7 years ago and purchased a wedding album and loose prints from my photographer. We recently contacted him to either purchase more prints and offered to buy the negatives.
He refused to sell us any reprints - stated they were going out of business and closing their books. He also stated that if we wanted the negatives we would have to send a check for $10,000!

Do I have any recourse or options with him? I am not sure I believe that he is actually closing down his business - he has been running his business out of his home for over 10 years. When we stated we thought he was being unreasonable about the $10,000 pricetag for the negatives (we paid around $2000 for his services back in 1999), he stated that they had no value to him but obviously had a value to us, & if we wanted them we would have to pay that non-negotiable price.
I am sick over this - if anyone can provide info that would be great. These pictures are of MY wedding and won't sell me any reprints!
