A friend of mine previously had elbow replacement with a prosthesis. He was able to use his hand and his fingers had life in them. One of the screws came out and the doctor was to replace the screw. He did and a week later infection set up. He went back in and inserted antibiotic beads. After that he went back in an took the entire prosthesis out. He said that people can function without them. Now he cannot use his hand at all, his fingers are dead(no feeling). His entire arm just dangles as if it was a rope hanging from something. His arm goes all around his back. Does this qualify for malpractice since he cannot do anything with his hand and arm now when before then he was able to function with the prosthesis , but now he is dependent on others to help him.

He beat the Giants in the playoffs with the 49ers a few years ago and last year again with the Eagles. He also beat the Giants in a regular season game last year.

I think it is quite odd that trash haulers like BFI and Waste Management ask their customers to recycle and charge them for this recycling, especially when they in turn make money on those items. They should actually be giving money to customers for their recycling which in turn would be used as incentive. Does anyone agree?

A month ago, my boss cut everybody's hourly rate, then, he cut our hours. He found out I had applied for a job - called me in & asked if I had applied for a job someplace and I said that I had - he said my final check would be mailed out that afternoon and asked for my office keys! Can I get unemployment?

I found out that my boyfriend is still friends with his ex gf. He has been with her 10 years ago and they were together for 8 years. SHe is married now and has a child and I found out that she visits him at his house with her child! He told me that they are just friends and that her husband knows about it, he sometimes even comes along, am I weird to have a bad feeling about this? I admit, I hate the fact that my boyfriend gets visits from his ex!

What should one do when a magic becomes too great for one to handle? When the stem of the magic is natural, but it spirals into nothing but hate and destruction, but is too in-routed to a person - to a living being - to ever destroy?
