WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? HAVE I BEEN A FOOL?
OKAY, BEEN MARRIED FOR MANY MANY YEARS. HUSBAND LEFT THREE MONTHS AGO. HE HAS PLAYED FUNNY WITH THE MONEY FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AND STUPID ME QUESTIONED IT AND WAS TOLD TO GET OUT OF HIS F…… BUSINESS. HE HAD WAY MORE INCLINATION TO HELP HIS LOSER SISTER WITH ALL OF HER LOSING BUSINESSES THAN TO PUT MONEY INTO OUR JOINT ACCOUNT. SEVERAL TIMES HE HAS DONE FUNNY THINGS WITH MONEY. AND OF COURSE THERE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN ENOUGH SEX IN THE MARRIAGE EVEN THOUGH AS OF LATE HE NEEDS HIS STIFFY PILLS WHICH HE TOOK WITH HIM WHEN HE LEFT. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO I WAS TOLD I COULD STAY AT THE HOUSE WE LIVED IN FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS IF I DIDN’T WANT TO MOVE, HE WAS GOING TO BUILD HIS DREAM HOME AND I COULD MOVE WITH HIM OR NOT, HE DID NOT CARE. SO, HE IS NOW GONE. AND HIS SUPPORT FOR THE WIFE HE DID NOT WANT TO EVER WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME IS ONE HUNDRED TWELVE DOLLARS A WEEK. I AM IN THE SO CALLED DREAM HOUSE WITH MY ALLOWANCE OF JUST OVER ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS A WEEK TO LIVE ON AND TO FEED TWO DOGS AND A CAT, ETC. ETC. ETC. ETC. OF COURSE EVEN THOUGH I AM FAIRLY STUPID, I KNOW NOT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AS TO HOW LAW MAY OR MAY NOT PROTECT ME. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ANY HELP FROM ANYONE WHO HAS ANY LEGAL EXPERTISE, OR JUST PLAIN EXPERIENCE IN THIS SORT OF SITUATION. I CERTAINLY DO NEED SOME HELP AND ADVICE. AS OF NOW, I HAVE NOT BEEN TO AN ATTORNEY. I REALLY DO NOT WANT A DIVORCE AND A NEW STEPMOTHER FOR MY GROWN CHILDREN AS I SEE THEY WOULD LOSE OUT BIG TIME AS THEIR DAD WOULD NOT GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO PROTECT THEM AND A NEW WIFE SHOULD SHE OUTLIVE HIM WOULD GET EVERYTHING INSTEAD OFMY CHILDREN. BUT, EVEN BEFORE ALL OF THAT IS CONSIDERED, I MUST PROTECT MYSELF…….. ALIMONY, HEALTH INSURANCE, ETC. DON’T GET ME WRONG. DON’T REALLY WANT TO GOUGE ANYONE, BUT I DO HAVE TO CONSIDER HOW I AM GOING TO MAKE IT THE REST OF MY LIFE. I CERTAINLY WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP ESPECIALLY FROM SOMEONE WHO MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR, ANYONE WHO HAS LEGAL ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE. BUT NOT TO MENTION JUST SOMEONE WHO SEES SOMETHING IN THIS THAT I MAY NOT SEE. ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS SOOOOO APPRECIATED. THANKS

Thinking about moving to Sarasota, Florida and I’m 22. Where do I start?
Hey thanks for reading. Let me just let you know my circumstances first. I’m 22 and in college at a community college close to home. I live with my parents and neither of us have a whole lot of money. My dream has been to move down to Sarasota, FL to reside, get my residency and go to college down there. Where do I start? I know I need to save money, but how do I make this dream a reality? Plus, I’m very sociable, but don’t know anybody there. How much money would I need to be making to survive on my own? How much would the move cost? I will be debt free in 3 months. I need some advice, and some guidance as to where to start. I live in a small town in Illinois and want to experience something completely different. Any ideas are welcome! P.S. If you know of what kind of job growth (I know with this economy it’s pretty bad in general) Sarasota has, that would help to. I’m experienced in retail management, serving, and have an insurance license. Thanks!
What do you think about your job and workers in the USA?
JUST A FEW DAYS AGO I STATED TALKING WITH A GIRL FROM BARCELONA SPAIN WHO IS A STUDENT IN CALIFORNIA. SHE WAS TELLING ME HOW CRAZY PEOPLE ARE HERE IN THE STATES WORKING TONS OF HOURS LIKE SLAVES, INCLUDING HER BOYFRIEND WHO IS AN AMERICAN SPANISH TEACHER.
WE ALL THE RESPECT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I GET A LAUGH EVERY TIME I HEAR PEOPLE ON THE STREET AND ON TV SAYING THAT THIS COUNTRY IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, I PERSONALLY THINK THAT IT WAS. IF WE LOOK AT THE UNITED NATIONS SURVEY IT SAYS THAT IS THE 6TH OR 7 TH BEST COUNTRY TO LIVE IN THE WORLD. IF ANYONE WHO LIVES HERE IN THE STATES LIKE MYSELF FOR 30 YRS LOOK HOW PEOPLE LIVE HERE, IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A VERY MEDIOCRE WAY OF LIVING IF YOU COMPARE IT WITH REACH EUROPEANS NATIONS. THE AMERICAN DREAM FARING AWAY LITTLE BY LITTLE. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I CAME HERE FROM CUBA CAUSE CASTRO IS IN POWER, I’M NOT AN ECONOMY IMMIGRANT LIKE MOST PEOPLE THAT IMMIGRATED TO THE STATES OR ANYWHERE ELSE.
FINAL COMMENTS: THE USA ECONOMY HAS BEEN GOING DOWN HILL SINCE 1976 ACCORDING TO ECONOMIST AND I HAVE SEEN THIS DECLINE MYSELF, WITH CLINTON 23 MILLION JOBS CREATED, WITH BUSH ONLY 3.5 MILLION JOBS, MILLIONS WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, UNLIKE ITALY THAT IN ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO FIRE YOU, IN THE STATES COMPANIES FIRE YOUR BEHIND EASILY.
THE REASON THAT MANY CUBANS THAT I KNOW AND IN MY ON FAMILY BECAME WEALTHY HERE IS BECAUSE THE ECONOMY WAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD, AND IT WAS A VIRGIN COUNTRY, THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE.
MY OWN CAUSING CAME HERE FROM CUBA, SHE IS NOW WORKING FOR 7 DOLLARS AND HOUR IN A FACTORY CLOSE TO MIAMI, THIS IS NOT A DREAM, THIS IS MORE LIKE A NIGHTMARE, BUT IM NOT STUPID, IS STILL BETTER THAN LIVING UNDER CRAZY CASTRO.
some of my cubans friends they have houses, nice cars, they are truck drives who wake up at 4:15 in the morning and return home at 5, 6 or 7 pm, they are not workers, they are slaves, to me they don,t leave a good live and i’m sure millions of people around the world will agree. the only people living well nowadays are professionals with a good degree in their hands, but for the majority of people like my father said the are slaves. my father opened a fish market here in jersey in the 80s and made lots of money, those days are long gone, even fish price is way,,way high, margin of profit is slim.
hi live free or die,
what economics have to do with democrats and republicans, please.
for your information…the usa economy has been going down hill since 1976, is not what it used to be, many cubans that i have met here in New Jersey became rich because they came in the 60’s and 70’s, they bought buildings like my half-brother grandpa. this country was a country where people came to make lots of money, is very,very hard nowadays to do that and for most cases you have to become a slave.
hi, loretta.
Well, is obvious that you have a problem towards others, you don’t fool me. What you saying does not make any sense. Undocumented people come here cause the states permits them too, the states needs many of them, by deporting these people you wont fix was broken in the usa. I guess you don,t have a tv or listen to radio. Many undocumented people have done jobs that people here don,t want, dishwashers, etc.
Is obvious that you are prejudice towards others, I sense it..

PLEASE HELP ME THINK OF A TITLE~?
if you dont want to read all of it, it is basically about the social mess. behind Death of a Salesman, please help i cant think if a title
the mess. is that everyone cant achieve success and money through lots of friends and good looks
Arthur Miller’s plays are well-known for their statements about American society. One of the most famous plays would be Death of a Salesman, which is about American Society in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Through this play Miller makes a social statement about American society and values.
The main character in Death of a Salesman is Willy Loman, an aging salesman from New York City. In the beginning of the play Loman is exhausted but later emerges as a man who is not very successful. However, Willy believes in the American Dream. Willy bases his whole career on the idea that if people like you, success will be yours. Unfortunately Willy never achieves this success, but always brags about being more successful than he actually is. For example when, “Willy tells his son “I never have to wait in line to see a buyer. ‘Willy Loman is here!’ That’s all they have to know, and I go right through” (Miller, Death of a Salesman, Act I, 33)
Willy teaches his two sons, Happy and Biff, that the key to success lies in being liked and in good looks. Of course, Willy was wrong and as a result neither Biff nor Happy succeeds. son Biff was a high school football star, but was unable to graduate because he failed to get all of his math credits, and is unable to hold down a steady job. Happy, Willies other son, is also miserable working as one of the two assistants to the assistant buyer at a business, Happy is physically superior, but otherwise, inferior, to those he works with.
Linda is Willies loving wife. Willy never feels that he is good enough for Linda. As a result, Willy goes off and has affairs, but Linda stays a loyal wife, who never forces him to face the reality of his failures. Linda sees through Willies bragging and sees an average man who is no longer needed and who is about to be discarded. For Linda, it is enough that Willy has tried to be a good father, husband and provider, even if he has not always succeeded.
When Willy goes to his boss, Howard, to request a job where he does not have to travel, Howard fires Willy, which makes Willy infuriated. This made Willy feel like a total failure and made him feel like he would be worth more dead than alive. Willy commits suicide by crashing his car, hoping that his life insurance money would enable Biff to succeed by providing him with the means to establish a business
Willy Loman is a victim of the American idea that everyone can achieve success and wealth. In writing Death of a Salesman, Miller blames the values in the American Dream, that everyone can achieve success and money, and he criticizes the ideas that only profits matter in business and that people are expendable.
please tell me what you think of it to E>

How can I start over and fix my life?
It all started with a dream that became a nightmare. When my goal in life is to working in television or film. I went to school for and worked hard for my degree. All my life, I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been insulted, lied to, mistreated, taken advantage of. Film is was the only way for me to survive. I’m out of school, struggling for work, lost my insurance, my lost girlfriend and even betrayed her trust in a stupid act of vengeance now I lost her as a friend for good. I’m now a sex addict and alcholic. I’ve reached rock bottom in my life at age 22, and I feel like giving up my dream and live. I don’t know if it’s worth it to start over. What should I do now?

Why did Democrats HATE Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America?….here it is?
Please List the Parts that you HATE so much and WHY?

1. THE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT: A balanced budget/tax limitation amendment and a legislative line-item veto to restore fiscal responsibility to an out- of-control Congress, requiring them to live under the same budget constraints as families and businesses. (Bill Text) (Description)
2. THE TAKING BACK OUR STREETS ACT: An anti-crime package including stronger truth-in- sentencing, “good faith” exclusionary rule exemptions, effective death penalty provisions, and cuts in social spending from this summer’s “crime” bill to fund prison construction and additional law enforcement to keep people secure in their neighborhoods and kids safe in their schools. (Bill Text) (Description)
3. THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT: Discourage illegitimacy and teen pregnancy by prohibiting welfare to minor mothers and denying increased AFDC for additional children while on welfare, cut spending for welfare programs, and enact a tough two-years-and-out provision with work requirements to promote individual responsibility. (Bill Text) (Description)

THE FAMILY REINFORCEMENT ACT: Child support enforcement, tax incentives for adoption, strengthening rights of parents in their children’s education, stronger child pornography laws, and an elderly dependent care tax credit to reinforce the central role of families in American society.

7. THE SENIOR CITIZENS FAIRNESS ACT: Raise the Social Security earnings limit which currently forces seniors out of the work force, repeal the 1993 tax hikes on Social Security benefits and provide tax incentives for private long-term care insurance to let Older Americans keep more of what they have earned over the years. (Bill Text) (Description)
8. THE JOB CREATION AND WAGE ENHANCEMENT ACT: Small business incentives, capital gains cut and indexation, neutral cost recovery, risk assessment/cost-benefit analysis, strengthening the Regulatory Flexibility Act and unfunded mandate reform to create jobs and raise worker wages. (Bill Text) (Description)
9. THE COMMON SENSE LEGAL REFORM ACT: “Loser pays” laws, reasonable limits on punitive damages and reform of product liability laws to stem the endless tide of litigation. (Bill Text) (Description)
10. THE CITIZEN LEGISLATURE ACT: A first-ever vote on term limits to replace career politicians with citizen legislators. (Description)
Further, we will instruct the House Budget Committee to report to the floor and we will work to enact additional budget savings, beyond the budget cuts specifically included in the legislation described above, to ensure that the Federal budget deficit will be less than it would have been without the enactment of these bills.
Respecting the judgment of our fellow citizens as we seek their mandate for reform, we hereby pledge our names to this Contract with America.

Why do I continue to have these crazy panic attacks while I fall asleep?
As I begin to fall asleep, the few moments between me being lightly asleep and dreaming I start freaking out. When I start to dream I have like mini panic attacks I think that I am going to die or something I just seem to always have the feeling I can never wake up it is really horriable. I don’t know if the doctor could help me and I don not have insurance right now so I don’t want to chance it. It is really challenging look right now it is 4:36 a.m. and I keep waking myself up so I would really appraciate any advice.
Thank You
