Sorry in advance for this being so long, but I could really use some impartial advice. My husband and I have been married for almost 20 years, together for 6 years before that, since I was 16. We have always had a pretty chaotic relationship. We lived together before we were married and fought a lot even then. I would go back to my mom's for a few days or couple weeks, and then he would call and I would go back. After we were married, things didn’t get any better. He was in an accid ...

I hear so often we should follow what God tells us to do in our daily life. How do we know what is right when we are faced with very hard circumstances? We are told that if we listen to what God says we will make the right choices. If we pray for guidance, how do we know what to do? ...

publisher, is having trouble paying its rent. A landlord who late last year evicted Salon from its New York offices for nonpayment of $90,000 in back rent is now trying to force the digital publisher to pay more than $700,000 for the unused portion of a five-year lease that is slated to run through September 2019. Salon had been paying over $300,000 a year to Vbgo Penn Plaza for offices at 31 Penn Plaza, near Madison Square Garden. By the fall of 2016, according to a suit filed recen ...

We heard we were getting snow yesterday. This is Georgia. We might have had just a light coating but this is the issue. We have ice. No one that I know of drives good on ice. Near the Atlanta airport this morning there was a 21 car pile-up. Our interstates seem to be ok, they have had gravel and sand put out but our secondary streets are the issue here. I live on a hill, a big hill and I doubt I would want to take my nice vehicle down or even try because no sense in wasting a good car and I am s ...

but I miss it and find the more insular, mostly white Christian town I live in now sadly lacking in important ways. My society in L.A. was mostly white, mostly born and raised there, but with plenty of variety, like our Japanese-American neighbors, the black guy in the next office with a passion for French antiques, a Turkish friend whose wistful descripions of the farm she grew up on sound like a little paradise, the accountant who's probably gay, a Yemeni-American manager with a terrific ...

I package froze green beans. Saute bacon, onion and garlic in olive oil or cannola oil. I cook the bacon until done but not "super crispsy." Add frozen green beans to ...

By Agence France-PresseMonday, June 7th, 2010 -- 11:00 am Having an "out of wedlock child" was enough to remove a black juror from a 1998 Mississippi murder trial involving an African-American and a white victim. Since then, nothing much has changed in the old south, a newly released study has said. When it was all over, Alvin Robinson was found guilty by a jury of 10 whites and two blacks, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars for a murder he claimed was in self defense. Two years later, an ...

Aside from sheer panic that sent hordes of screaming holiday shoppers running for cover, mall store lockdowns, a police search and investigation, no fatalities or injuries, thank goodness.

NEW YORK (Reuters) U.S. shoppers spent 6.4 percent more this Black Friday weekend than last year and hit department stores and clothing shops, rather than focusing on discounters as they had done in recent years. Retail stocks have rallied in recent months as national chains have reported month after month of improving same-store sales as the economy has stabilized and they have paid down credit card debt. On Friday, the S&P Retail Index was hovering near a 52-week high, after rising 30 p ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pending home sales unexpectedly surged in October, hinting the economic recovery has legs. Also, the four-week moving average for jobless claims fell to a fresh two-year low, though new claims were higher for the week. "Fear is evaporating ever so slightly. The economy is not falling off a cliff, giving investors a glimmer of hope," said Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh. ...

that whoever you are, you have the same chance as anyone else to rise, with pluck, industry, and talent. But they imagine wrong. The U.S. today lags behind many of its First World rivals in terms of mobility. A class society has inserted itself within the folds of what was once a classless country, and a dominant New Class—as social critic Christopher Lasch called it—has pulled up the ladder of social advancement behind it.... ...A complacent Republican establishment denies this change h ...

It makes no difference in terms of the economic impact on wages whether an employer exports the work to where the cheap labor is located, or takes advantage of cheap labor that comes to where the work is located. The only difference is that one means used to drive wages lower and keep them low is legal, while the other means is not. Think about it. Just about everyone on this forum hates what offshoring has done to OUR wages, and yet some support illegal and/or unrestricted immigra ...

Excerpt of statement from the NY Times Editorial Board, link to entire statement below. "Early this year, it was widely acknowledged that the economy was in for a tough patch. The “fiscal cliff” showdown at the end of 2012 had led to higher payroll taxes and had locked in earlier cuts to jobless benefits, while “the sequester” — deep and arbitrary federal spending cuts enacted to end a previous debt standoff — kicked in on March 1. The only consolation at the ...

median income would soar by more than $22,000. Nearly 26 million jobs would be created. The unemployment rate would fall to 3.8%. Those are just a few of the things that would happen if Bernie Sanders became president and his ambitious economic program were put into effect, according to an analysis given exclusively to CNNMoney. The first comprehensive look at the impact of all of Sanders’ spending and tax proposals on the economy was done by Gerald Friedman, a University of Mas ...

Does anyone have advice on the pros and cons of these 2 procedures? I am so unsure of what to do. I am 39 and sure I want no more children. The price for the tubal is why I am hesitating.

Income Inequality May Take Toll on Growth By ANNIE LOWREY WASHINGTON — Income inequality has soared to the highest levels since the Great Depression, and the recession has done little to reverse the trend, with the top 1 percent of earners taking 93 percent of the income gains in the first full year of the recovery. The yawning gap between the haves and the have-nots — and the political questions that gap has raised about the plight of the middle ...

And Rush is still on the air. Ding. ding, ding. Round #2..... LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Current TV on Friday counter-sued former host Keith Olbermann, claiming he failed to perform his duties for the progressive television network and saying it does not owe him "a dime" of the millions Olbermann claims he is owed. Current and Olbermann, who hosted his program "Countdown" on the network, have been locked in a war of words and legal filings since last week, when Current fired the comment ...

Being the raging Liberal that I am, I was feeling somewhat disappointed that President Obama did not slam Romney into the mat. Then I reailzed that Obama was being Obama.

I did think Romney looked a bit wild eyed and caffeined up. I am thinking that his eyes looked l ...
