A man came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a part time job. He said he worked for the National Institute of Racoon Research. He gave me a bag and a racoon catching pole and said I would get $100 for every racoon I caught. I went out that night and caught four racoons, who really didn't like being in the bag together. I went back to the man and he said to keep the racoons in my house. The racooons quickly escaped the bag and now are free in my house. I haven't seen the man in 3 months. I really want my $400 but the racoons have caused me to lose my job already. You see, I was a criminal defense attorney but I contracted rabies and couldn't speak. What should I do? Get rid of the racoons, and lose my cash. Or keep them until I can find the man and get my money, but risk further damages? Please advise.

I was at the grocery store earlier and was waiting on line when the guy behind me started taking my groceries and putting them with his. I asked him why and he said "Thanks for grabbing these for me, I forgot". The guy looked kind of crazy so I just ignored it. Then I was in the parking lot putting my groceries in my trunk. The same guy ran over and started putting his groceries in my trunk. I asked why and he said "Thanks for the ride home, I appreciate it". So we got in my car and I asked him where he lived and he said just go to my house and he would show me from there. When we got to my house he asked to use the bathroom and then wouldn't leave. He said he needed a place to crash. He has been staying here for 3 days now and I think he and my wife are having an affair. He has also emptied most of my bank accounts! What should I do!?!?

Although I try to avoid it when at all possible, I had to use a public bathroom about a week ago. There was a man in the stall next to me making a whole host of horrid noises. After each one he would make a comment like 'Man! You liked that one!' or 'Woah! That's the kind of **** they write about in Newsweek magazine!' I tried to ignore him but he kept talking. Eventually I asked him politely to stop and he said 'Nah man, me and you are gonna start a club, we are the Bathroom Brothers. We will let the world know how much we like taking huge dumps in public bathrooms' I told him I did not want to but he wouldn't listen. He kept saying things like how we would go on tour and sell videos or sound clips of us using the bathroom. I kept saying no and he got angry. He said it was too late. Then he got out of his stall, kicked open the door to mine, and took pictures of me on the toilet. He said I could see them on the internet with sound effects.

I hear White people always call themselves Irish American or German American. No one seems to have a problem with that. But when it comes to African American, alot of people don't like it. I'm African American, and I have no problem being called that because thats what I am. I feel that it reflects my ancestry and who I am today. I also am part Native American too, and I even feel that African American kind of includes the Native American part of me too. I most likely have European blood in me too somewhere. I think I might be part irish, but i don't know. But I wouldn't call any Black person I see African American, because they might not be American. But thats just what I identify with though. Any other African Americans feel this way?

I recently moved into a new house with my wife and I met a local neighbor man. I came home from work one day and saw that man running through my backyard, my wife said that he recently died but she saw him too, it must have been a ghost! Then I saw him in my bedroom while my wife was sleeping! Then I saw him in the basement and my wife said to stay upstairs while she held a seance. She came up two hours later, all disheaveled, and said it didn't work. Next I saw him online at the local home depot. And finally he was standing outside my yard, my wife said she had a new voodoo spell that might work but she would have to escort the ghost to the grave yard. It took several hours and when she got home she was filthy, but she said it didn't work. I don't know what to do! How can I get rid of this ghostly man and get back my peace of mind. Are there any paranormal experts out there?

I'm from the U.S. and will be going to lovely Italy for a year. I'm very excited because Italy is a wonderful place, but sometimes I feel guilty for wanting to leave my home country even if it is only for a year. I especially feel this way when watching movies like the Patriot or something else of the sort. Is this a normal thing to feel?

Sometimes, we all tend to get all anxious about trivial matters in our lives. The best way to deal with those times is to ask yourself whether all that will matter 2 days from now, a month from now, a year from now or even 10 years from now.

My experience tells me that MOST of those issues don't really matter so much.

If you were to think about it yourself, would you say the same thing?

Why do they cover everything, even when in their religion it doesn't say anything about covering everything, inculding the hands, and some even the eyes?

I have an Idea. How about since they don't want anyone to see their hair, face, skin or even their eyes! how about stay at home! they can learn on the internet, work at home, do everything behind closed doors away from everyones eyes! and they wouldn't have to bother with all that clothing! It does not sound to good, but that rule is man made, not in their religion!
Any ideas?

It seems as violent programming becomes more commonplace, so does fighting, killing, etc. in city areas. Whats your take?

What does "Poser" mean? I have heard it a lot before. I don't really mean a person who poses. I think it means something else. Thanks a lot.
