My mother passed away but still receives child support checks (in her name) from my father (which he is legally obligated to continue paying despite the fact that she's deceased). Every time I go to the bank they have to "check with their legal department."

Why can I not donate my organs upon my death? I have my card, my D.L., and a statement in my med. records stating my desire to be a donor. Problem is I found out that I do NOT have the right to donate them. It is up to my NEXT OF KIN to actually decide if my organs will be donated, and they are NOT required to follow my wishes..Why is this the case? I have called attorneys and received this same information. I live in Mississippi. What can I do as my family is against organ donation and I want to be a donor???

Does it really help people if the government provides for them? There is a saying that goes "You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life." We already have a public education that we are dumping tons of government funds into. Should we also spend money to feed people? How does that benefit them? Doesn't it give more incentive not to work, because of all the freebies?

My neighbour started to build a big loft conversion with 3 large windows that overlook my garden and my bedroom. When I checked with the council (also my next door neighbours as they are also affected by this) they said that they did not received a planning application from them. After a month and when the building is nearly done and the roof up, we received today the letter from the council informing about the application for the development. My question is what are the regulations regarding loft conversions, do we stand any chance to complaint about it considering that he started work before even having plans approved from the council ?
Any answers would be very much appreciated

the lawyer acting in his capacity as chair of the zba in my town swayed the board to grant a variance to a cell tower developer to construct a 180' tower in a residential zone. The lawyer was employed by a firm very active in representing tower companies trying to push their way into this area. he gave the board members information pertaining to legal issues associated with the siting of towers before the meeting . the information was biased toward allowing a variance for fear of legal action against the town. when i got an attorney involved ( at the hearing for a rehearing) he told the board that my attorney was incorrect in his assessment of the law. it was ultimately disclosed that the chairman had a conflict of interest and he stepped down. i did get a new hearing because of his misdeed however i did not get a new board and had to spend over $50,000.00 to reeducate them and protect my land.

"Don't confuse Mika Brzezinski with the facts. She's anti-gun and is not about to let some stunning counter-evidence change her mind.

If ever there was an illustration of how an armed citizen can make a difference, it is the case of Jeanne Assam, the brave woman who took out the killer at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. And yet . . .

On today's Morning Joe, Mika -- in newsreader mode -- dutifully reported the incident. But when Joe Scarborough sought to draw the logical inference, Mika put her anti-gun foot down."

How do identity thieves get away with what they do, assuming that they do not leave the country?
Example: a person signs up for a credit acct in someone elses name. They order a package online. Obviously, they have to have the package shipped somewhere if the thief wants to collect the package. Cant the police just trace where the package went to and question the house owner, or is it not that simple?

I pleaded 'no contest' to a 'simple assault' ticket... was never arrested. The court lady made me sign a sheet saying I could never own a firearm. There was no expiration date, no... no exceptions, no nothing except a lifetime loss of my second amendment rights. Is this fair? Can a small city court actually enforce something like this? I am not a FELON, was never even arrested. And YES I realize, I did plead no contest, I could have waited in the HELLA crowded lobby for 3 more hours to plead not guilty, had a trial date set, yadda, yadda and then (probaly) be found guilty (ever try pleading not guilty to speeding ticket?), have to pay all court costs, still sign over my right to bear arms. Anyways, Please can I get some intelligent responses?

3 weeks ago I was fired from my job. The reason they gave me was I just didn't fit in, and I was on a 90 day probation period. Now I would have believed the probation thing had they not had me get my pharmacy certification within my first 30 days. I've had a couple of people check the computer system at the company's home office, and they found no bad things against me.....no customer, or employee complaints. SO home office also thinks there is no reasonable explaination for my termination. Yesterday I went to pick up my final check to find out that "someone" had accidently picked up my check and cashed it. My paystub was in a sealed envelope, my name and social security number written on the front, my pay stub and cash inside this envelope. If for any reason that enevelope had been dropped, I could have lost a lot of things from 1 so called mistake. I know that you can't just accidentally give out a paystub, seeing that you have to sign for it to pick it up. Do I sue?

I'm a promotional model and I work as an independent contractor for a variety of different marketing companies/ modeling agencies. Prior to this, I've never had any issues with not receiving payment that was due. However, I worked a tradeshow for a privately owned, out fo state modeling agency. Everything seemed legit but then I didn't receive the check when I was told that I would. I had to keep contacting the owner to ask where it was and she has continued to make excuses. I just found out that another promotional model had to sue her for money that was owed. So now that it's apparent that I might also have to sue her for what she owes me, how do I go about doing this? I know how small claims court works but since I live in Michigan and she is in Indiana, what are my options?

i have been living in my place of residence for a bit over 14 years. i just renewed my lease yesterday. i was thinking about having someone to move in with me but, not to report it. meaning the rent will stay the same and we would cut my current rent in half along with the phone bill only....

when i recert. she looked me dead in my eyes and said it is against the rules to have someone stay with me with out reporting it. it was like she could read my mind lol.

well, i know for a fact that other residents have their family members living with them but, they get away with it.

what do you think?

I thought extraterritoriality for sex crimes only applied when the victims were kids. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating that rape is OK for illusionists or anything like that-just curious as to how the US can charge him for something that happened in the Bahamas.
