Resolved Question: Should I try to come up with the money and pay her back, or take it to court?

Yesterday, I sold my old jeep to a young lady and her father. They had driven the car 3 times before deciding to buy it, and her husband and father inspected the vehicle and said it was good. They checked everything-the tires, motor, transmission, and after driving it, her father said it was a good car. Today, the girl called me, very angry and said that she wanted her money back, because the car wouldn't start, and the windows wouldn't roll up. Now, I was surprised because as I had told her before, the car had worked for me absolutely every time I used it. And the windows were working. She said it was false advertising, and her husband threatened to sue me. Now, from the people I've talked to, I know that once the deal is done, it's over. I signed the title over, they gave me the money, and that was that. The car was working just fine while I had it. So what should I do now? I will be speaking to an attorney tomorrow but I want to have an idea or at least a few opinions on what to do. I don't even have the money anymore, I used it for college. I feel kinda helpless. Any ideas?It's a 1994. What could they possibly sue me for? more

Resolved Question: middleclassman << Best Pro-Liberal Story ever.?

We don`t pretend we get things done becasue we are not against everything. Just ask Joe the conservative. Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a conributor. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noon time and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university. Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like. I have." _____________________________________ This story was provided by user "middleclassman". more

Resolved Question: I just bought a privately owned used car in BC... Did I get swindled?

Under a week ago I paid $1700 cash for a 199 vw golf that was advertised as being 149 xxx km with no accidents. We purchased the car, and THEN carfaxed it (I know, stupid me) and turns out it was totaled in 2004, and is now classified as 'rebuilt'. So hat was my fault, I figured I should just suck it up. But now, I was sorting through the papers again and I found another document wedged in the aircare pamphlet. It's the previous owners transfer form! It says it has 200 000 km on it... And it was signed by both parties. So... I have this government transfer form now that says this golf has 149xxx km (lie) no damage over $2k (lie). I haven't transferred the car to my name yet, and it's been under a week since I paid for it. Anyone have any idea what kind of legal rights I have here? more

Resolved Question: How are so many low class people becoming so rich?

FYI: I live in India. Please Note: I am neither Racist nor Casteist. But I am person with several genuine problems and absolute bewilderment. I am website designer, and I have extremely good communication skills. I rate myself as a very good at civic sense and social manner awareness. I am trying to run my small family (4, including myself) with the earnings out of my shoestring business. I am always polite to my clients, I make sure they are comfortable with every technical aspect of their website, I make sure the site is Standards Compliant for the client's sake, despite them not even knowing what W3C Standards are. I try to keep my prices as comfortable as possible, and relatively low. Yes, I am somewhat more expensive than the general market, but the cost of having an unruly, brutal joke of a messy website "design" is more than the price of owning a good website. Also, I never spit on the road, refuse to relieve myself on the pavements like so many other people do despite desperate urgency, always say "excuse me" before I do anything remotely assertive. I respect women, pay my taxes on time. Despite all this, I barely manage to scrape by, financially speaking. I am usually at the mercy of my landlord, and begging all the people I owe money to, to wait "just a few more days". Then, I get a small respite in the form of a new client or two, and I am forced to spend all the money on my commitments. This basically leaves no chance for me to improve upon my life, or the conditions therein. I am always stuck in this vicious cycle of debt and repayment. Add to my woes is the fact that we as a family have no source of support from our relatives, and hence zero investment capability; I can't even afford to advertise my services in the local newspaper classifieds. I am forced to rely on the poorly maintained and extremely unreliable public transport system, since I don't have a vehicle. Yet, I do try to work hard, against all odds. CONTRAST THIS WITH THE FOLLOWING: All I have to do is to take a short walk onto the main road, and I see multiple swanky cars on the road. In a majority of these expensive vehicles, there are people who are unruly, wear arrogant looks on their faces, and drive like shit. A lot of them don't look educated (you can tell the difference, though it sounds preposterous). They don't hesitate to pull down the window and spit copious paan onto the roads. They don't hesitate to open up their fly and start spewing on to the footpath, even in the presence of women on the road. They wear large chunky jewellery on their sweaty unhygienic bodies (trying to demonstrate their wealth), but display the social sense of a bacterium. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! How is this happening? Will I ever succeed in life? Will I ever overtake these creatures? And pray tell me HOW _SO MANY_ of them are ending up so RICH! This is not a rare phenomenon anymore... so my curiosity... more

Resolved Question: How can I get people to write for me?

I have a car/bike website. I advertised on craigslist for writers to help me. I got quite a few responses and was really excited about the project. Once it was launched, I was down to one other writer and myself. And lately I haven't heard from him. I know that actually paying my writers would probably help some, but they all agreed to contribute and try to build it up into a paying gig. I have one more month on my site. I haven't sold any ads yet because I want the site to look like more than some guy sitting in his dining room in his underwear, posting whatever on the site. Any ideas where I can scare up some writers? more

Voting Question: I dont know what is going on with my boyfriend?

Its quite complicated - Firstly - We have been together for about five years. He has his own business so I bought a house which is in my name. We agreed to do this in case his business folded and i wouldnt lose the house. Anyway - he does F@@k all to help me in the house - No help with DIY, no help with cleaning or maintenance. When i ask him why he says Its not his house so hes not intrested!!!! I feel really crap - he keeps throwing in my face even though it was his idea. He has a flat above his business and sometimes he still stays there, esp if we have an argument he just goes back there. Because of this set up he wont help me pay any bills on the house. He stays up till 3 in the morning using electricity. He gave me a credit card a while ago but im not allowed to use it so i have given it back to him. I dont know what to do - I work for him and I get a small amount of money for doing this but its not enough to live on at all. I have a son to support and my bf is just not helping. To top this off - I said to him I really dont know I can financially go on and am looking for another job. I joked about becoming an escort and he said he found that really horny. So horny in fact he nagged and nagged me to join an agency. Then because i joined he did too. That same day they said they had a booking for him - it made me feel sick. He was going to do it but then found out the agency are scamming people so cancelled it. I just dont know what to do - what is he doing to me. He has a boat which costs him about 1400 pounds a month, a new car which he recently bought for 800 pounds a month plus other stuff. yet he wont help me more. I saw a shop near me today advertising for staff so i told him i might apply and he was really shitty about it. I cant win - and i dont know what to do. more

Resolved Question: Outrage at Christian Evangelisation International Ministries Church, Abp Paul Baker to blame. WHY?

This church advertises on the net asking people to donate money to help the needy. I will tell you who the needy are. It is run by Rev Dr Leslie Mary Trombly who has a lovely lifestyle in USA. She goes without nothing. Her hobby is running the church from her wheelchair online. It makes her feel important. Under her we have Abp Paul Baker, an old man now, married with kids and grandkids. He supposedly sorts out the money and gives it to those who need it etc. But this is what we found out about him, and all of this is proven. You can read an article about it. Sunday People newspaper, UK. Very Bad Men and other tv programmes are thinking of making a programme about this guy. His last church threw him out because of "money discrepancies". He has borowed huge sums of money from parishioners and others. One lent him £8000 and then he nagged her to lend him another £7000 which she refused. Most people have to work a year to earn this. This guy then insists that he is sorry but he cannot pay it back and pleads poverty. Yet in the meantime he has about 5 holidays a year, long expensive ones, buys cars, bought a boat, joined the golf club, and takes his family out for very expensive evenings. In other words the people who lend him money end up paying for his luxuries and lifestyle. Other churches in his area refused to deal with him because he didnt pay his bills or over charged. Other jobs he had always sacked him. He is almost bankrupt and owes the bank a great deal. Yet he continues to spend a lot. Usually other peoples money, which they think he will pay back, but he never does. Although this man is married with kids and grandkids and very old now, he also pesters women at the church for sex !! He told one much younger single woman that he loved her and wanted to marry her. He bought her an engagement ring, got officially engaged to her (forgetting to tell his wife). He also virtually moved in with her, making out to his wife that he had to work very long hours and that is why he was rarely at home. He did this for EIGHT YEARS and it only ended when the girlfriend ended it, it would still be going on now otherwise. He became so loathed and distrusted where he lived, and his wife knew that she was an outcast in the town, and she was scared that if they stayed he would keep pestering this woman to see him again. So they had to move a long way away. The church knows all this, yet they are happy to keep him. Happy for parishioners to trust him with their money and their lives. The fact that he uses people and lies to people and robs them doesnt bother them. What does this say about the church? more

Voting Question: Who is right in this family feud?

I have a grandma who is getting old and a very forgetful. My dad and my uncle (his brother) have been tense with each other after my dad found a bunch of checks addressed to my cousin who is in her 20's. She claims its for my grandmother's groceries, but each check is about $300 every other week. My grandma says she gives her the money because she's got two kids to raise and she's going through nursing school. What she likes to forget is that my cousin got pregnant at 16 and then again when she was 19, both to her then boyfriend, now husband. In my eyes this doesn't give her the right to collect money from my grandma, but that isn't the worst thing. My grandma has asked for my dad's help to sell her car since she can no longer drive. My dad claims that the car was promised to me (I'm 15) when i got my license. My grandma admits that but says she at least wants some money. We offered to pay $2000 for the car, which she agreed upon, then decided against, saying it wasn't enough. We don't have tons of extra money so we declined her offer of $3000. About a week and a half later, she asked my dad to put a sign on her car, advertising it for sale at $2000. My dad asked her why is it back at $2000 when she had said that was too little an amount. She says she knows that but she wants my cousin (as mentioned before) to be able to afford it since she has no cash flow. That is a lie since my cousin is out of college and working as a nurse, plus her weekly withdrawls from my grandma's bank account. That is the point where my dad somewhat lost it. He told my grandma that she was picking favorites and then he told my uncle to control his daughter before she sucked my grandma dry. This caused the rest of the family to turn on us. Who was right? I want to say my dad, but then again, i'm totally clueless to their side of the story... more

Resolved Question: Vehicle purchased on craigslist?

I bought a vehicle off craigslist early last week for $1,700. The car appeared to be in pretty good shape and ran pretty smooth, I put about 200mi on it and parked it only to notice it was spewing transmission fluid everywhere. I took it in to a shop where I know the guys and they told me it was a torn front seal and they recommended to another shop since they didn't work on transmissions. So after getting an estimate of about 600 to do the job I wasn't to upset, I figured something would go wrong with it. Then after a couple hours the shop called me back and told me that it was very bad on the inside and that the best route was a rebuild or a new transmission. The quote on the rebuild is $1,800...We called the private seller asking to help pay for part since in his ad he claimed "transmission in good working condition", I've put down 800 already and I'm trying to get a loan to pay the rest, my question is, can I take the seller to court for false advertising?To STEWIE: I paid cash for the car, all 1700. I bought the car around 7pm 30miles from my house. So pretty sure the mechanic was closed...I love how you defend crooked people, youre probably a heartless lawyer or a used car salesman who see's no problem in screwing over the working classTo make it more clear I've put 800 down on the transmission repair. Now I'm out of money. more

Resolved Question: Local church wants to take my younger brother to their youth group?

A few days ago my little brother grabbed a flyer that was on our doorknob that was advertising a free carnival for kids set up by a Christian Church a few blocks away. He is 8 and I am 16, and I babysit him often, as well as a cousin who is 6. A few days later while driving with both of them in my car they saw the lights and stands in the church parking lot. They begged me to take them down the street to this carnival and my mom said to take them, because they were making a fuss. When we got there it looked pretty lame. They had very few games and free cotton candy and popcorn, but they enjoyed themselves, even though we were there for less than an hour. Well when I walked in there they asked me to write my name, address, and kids name on a paper so they could mail an evaluation to my home on this carnival. Well today two ladies came to the door and said that they were going to be picking up my cousin and brother for their bible study on Sunday around 11 am and to have them ready! I told them that I don't think my mom will allow that and that we are not non-denominational Christians, we just went to the event because it was free. They then said that they wanted 20 dollars, 10 for each child who attended the event, and that it was only free to families who wanted to enroll their kids in the youth program! I then mentioned that I would have never wrote their names on the paper, I was told it was for a post evaluation. Well needless to say I told the lady not to come by on Sunday, because they won't be going and I was not paying anything and closed the door. Can I make a complaint against this church or these ladies? They really came to my door thinking they owned my brother!!! more

Resolved Question: One Stop Motors ????

Has anyone ever sold or bought a car from One Stop Motors? or even heard of them? I placed an add for my car on ebay and within 3 days One Stop Motors contacted me saying they could advertise and get my car sold for $499 non-refundable for more than what I was asking, that they would continue to advertise it until it was sold, and it would come up on the top 3 of any search engine. However, being skeptical I said sure if you could mail or email me a list of the services and advertisement sites you plan on using that you just described to me over the phone.... well that's when all hell broke loose.... and they had me check out their website and read their blanket agreement online and do everything but send me a contract or description of exactly where, how long, and how many websites / ads they planned on marketing my vehicle. The only way they would divulge that information was in an invoice that I would get only after I paid them my $499 non-refundable. They just seemed shady especially if they do not offer their to-be customers with a solid assurance of where their money is going to be used towards and it is non-refundable. Has anyone here ever sold or bought a car from One Stop Motors and if so how did it go? Has anyone here even heard of One Stop Motors. more

Resolved Question: We are trying to open up a painting company and cant get no one to quote?

Hi long story short. We just moved from British Columbia to Toronto area, because i had my daughter and wanted to be closer to my family. My boyfriend was a professional painter in BC for years. As we moved to a slightly high class area where people `have money,` we thought that him opening up a painting company was fool proof and would take off immidiatley. NOW we are having trouble paying rent and buying food, with another baby due in 2 months and don`t know what else to do to advertise. There is NOT to much competition at all in this town. He did get a few small jobs from my dads friends in the area but it is not enough. The things we have done to advertise are: Flyers and magnetic cards on mail boxes as they are the multi ,ail boxes one for each street. Put a add in the local paper. Handed in cards to the local paint store. Got magnets to advertise on the side if the car. Drove around and looked for homes that needed painting and knocked on there doors to hand them a card. We still get no calls to quote. With the flyers we put up there are at least 5 of the phone number tabs riped off each one and we placed about 100 around town. What more can we do we just dont understand. more

Voting Question: How Can i get my money Back for a used car i financed that is unsafe and defective?

I have purchased a dark blue 2006 Dodge Magnum in December of 2009 from North Coast Auto in Bedford Ohio. The car was found online and myself and my boyfriend worked with a John to make this car mine. It was advertised to have a new engine, keyless entry, tinted windows, clean interior, ect. A used car in excellent condition, sold for the bb value of excellent condition. John also informed us that while he was holding the car for us he noticed a crack in the windshield so he had that replaced. We had gone to the dealership the middle of December and put $400.00 down then arranged to take $2600.00 later to pick up the car. We had taken the rest of the down payment the end of December and the car was still not ready they told us. Then after about two more attempts to go pick up the car at a time that was convenient for me and my work schedule, TaRodd and I made it up there, John said it would be ready that morning. I called him multiple times and he ignored the calls so I left a voice message stating that I would be there at noon because I had to be at work at 1:30pm. The last time we spoke he said it would be ready as he said in the morning. Once we got there he looked a little surprised and said it would be one more hr, that they were finishing the detailing. He had me sign the papers, I didn’t feel comfortable signing the paperwork without seeing the car other than online but he assured me that if anything was wrong with the car we would shred the paper work and refund the down payment. Tarodd and I then waited and at 1pm I had to call in to my job and use 2hours of my paid time off so that it would not affect me attendance because the car was still not ready. We kept waiting and then I had to leave for work and they said that Tarodd could stay and look at the car and bring it to me and if I find anything wrong I can take it back. Well Tarodd didn’t leave the dealership until 8:45pm after they had closed. They then gave him the keys and left. Driving Back To Akron TaRodd then noticed that the engine light had popped on, he called john’s cell, to tell him what happened an that it needed fixed but was only able to leave a message. Once I got off work we noticed that some of the nuts on the outside of the hubcaps were missing also that the hatch back door did not hold itself up. Then it snowed and we noticed that something else wasn’t right and moisture was inside and the defogger was not working. We had to snow scrap the inside of the windows while driving or I wouldn’t be able to see outside. Then the check engine light came on, and the control arms were wobbling and would cause the car to jerk around. While these things were happening Tarodd and me were calling Jon and leaving messages demanding he called me back and that the car was unsafe to drive. When he did answer he apologized and assured me that the car would be fixed completely and told me that he hadn’t called me back because he gave my number to Bronco from North East Auto who was the garage that fixed their vehicles, and that he was supposed to have called me, but didn’t. He said he would call Bronco again and he gave me his number as well so that I could call him if I did not hear from him by the next day. When I did have to call Bronco the next day because he did not call me all he said was to bring up the car and he would fix it, but when I asked how long it would take he would not answer and said just drop it off. I asked when to bring the car he kept telling me to drop it off before 7:30pm but I worked until 10pm every night. I explained that to him and so did Tarodd and he then said have Tarodd drop it off. Tarodd drove up there the first time and they kept it 1 week and didn’t do anything except reset the check engine light and told him to bring it back on the weekend so they could finish fixing everything. So then 1 day after he got it back, prior to taking it back on the weekend, the check engine light came on and the car was still emitting lots of black smoke when it would get on the high way and when I would increase speed on the high way. It was clear when it snowed that nothing was done the week they had it because the windshield was still leaking. Then on the weekend Tarodd again dropped the car off on his way to class and they had it 8hours and when it was picked up they told Tarodd that they had to order parts and that they would need it for another week. Well we got the car and told them this is ridiculous and that they need to get everything together because this is a bigger hassle than needed. We then left multiple messages on Broncos and Jon’s phone requesting a call back regarding when they had all the parts. No one ever called us back. Then it was time to get new plates and I hadn’t gotten an E-check because the check engine light was on and would not pass so Tarodd and I drove up and told them we were on our way. Once we got there Bronco asked us to make a list of things needed done so we quickly wrote done the major more

Resolved Question: Should I take H&R Block to court?

I had a baby in November 2009. Since my boyfriend got his W-2 before me (in January), we decided to let him claim our son and have H&R Block do his taxes so we could get a RAPID refund. The preparer didn't know what he was doing. He ended up opting him out of the Earned Income Credit (without asking), typing in 2 months for the amount of time our son was "living in the home" for 2009 and accidentally checked 'yes' for the question "Did this person make more than $3500 in 2009?". When he was all finished he told us my boyfriend's refund would be about 900 dollars. I thought something was wrong, but didn't say anything and took his word for it. We paid for the rapid loan and we were expecting to get the money on our card within 2 days. I told my mother, who has been doing my taxes for years and never made a single mistake, and she pointed out that we were, in fact, supposed to get the EIC and Child Tax Credit. She got online and printed out the Publication from the IRS's website stating that if a child was born in 2009, you put 12 months, regardless of what month they were born in. They called my boyfriend 6 days later and told him there was a hold on the card and he had to come back up there to sign a paper to take the money off hold. We went back up there and showed them the mistake they made and ask that they amend them. The manager fixed it and gave us the forms to mail out and we asked if we still had to pay the fee they charged us to do this. He stated that we still have to pay the fee because that money is going to them for filing it originally. Yet H&R Block has the "Maximum Refund Guarantee" which states that if they don't give you your maximum refund you're entitled to, the tax preparation is free. We called the headquarters and even they are refusing to give us the money back. We mailed off the amended form and we are STILL waiting to get the check in the mail. We really needed that money to get our air conditioning fixed in our only car, not to mention we have a 6 month old and its 80 degrees outside in Virginia Beach right now. My question is should I take them to court? Why should we have to pay them for something THEY screwed up? I'm really not trying to make a big deal out of this, but this is just ridiculous and not fair. In my eyes, its false advertising for them to make a promise and not live up to it. more

Resolved Question: On average, what % discount can be reduced from a new car price when you offer upfront cash?

I am looking at purchasing a car that has a MSRP of 28,980 by a Chicago dealership. The advertised price is $24,943. Assuming, I were to pay cash, what is the general rule for the percentage discount? For example, if I tell the dealer I will pay cash, would it be in the range if I were to tell him I would pay him $22,000 for the car (excluding taxes) or is that too low. When you pay up front cash what percentage can a buyer usually discount? more

Resolved Question: Summer Business Ideas for 16 year old who needs money.?

I will be turning 17 in July. I have recently been absquatulated from my part time job. I want to open my own business when I am an adult and see this as an opportunity to develop my entrepreneurial skills. I have thought of these already: Car Wash: I cant rent any space to do a car wash and I don't think it looks good to ask to use the clients water supply due to the fact that I will have to go door to door. Yard Work: Its incredibly unfortunate that I am so allergic to spring and summer time, because I do not mind doing yard work, but it gets hard to plant flowers and cut grass when my eyes are watering so bad I cant see. Baby Sitting: I'm looking for a more professional job other than baby sitting and I think most parents have baby sitters and don't plan on switching just for the summer. Online Source: I have looked online to make money, and each one turns out to be a scam. I am so sick of people suggesting online surveying or "click ads and make money". SO NO ONLINE SOURCES! Dog walking is an option, although maybe as a last resort. House cleaning/ pet sitting: I don't think many people who go on summer vacations would trust a 16 year old male to watch their house. Advertising for small businesses: I thought that maybe I could contact small businesses around my community and offer to hand out flyer's for them at a cost. ANY OTHER IDEAS ARE EXPECTED! Brainstorm all you can! Quantity not quality! I need a way to make money this summer in order to pay for my gym membership which I am on a contract for another 8 months, as well as my cell phone, due to the fact that few, including my own family have telephones anymore. more

Resolved Question: Does Shell gasoline come from the broken BP pipes?

Honestly, I don't know much about gas other than what octane to put in my car. I see commercials for Valero that advertise that it is 100% American gasoline. And then on the news I saw that BP's pipe or whatever burst in the Gulf of Mexico and that it's reeking havoc on wildlife & its dependent industries all along the gulf coast. One of my friends was talking about whether the gov't should pay for the cleanup, and I said that I felt that it was BP's blunder and that BP should pay for it. I also said that if the US pays a dime towards it, that BP should be mandated to pay us back. That's just my personal opinion. My friend went off on me about how all gas comes from the same place (??????) and that whether I buy gas from Shell or BP or wherever, that I'm a part of this "problem". I'm confused though.... How does gas all come from the same place? Some comes from offshore of the US and some comes from the middle east, right? Where does Shell gas come from? Does it come from the damaged area of BP's pipelines? more

Resolved Question: I think I'm going to be homeless in 2 weeks...husband plays xbox all day...advice?

I was working full time as a nursing assistant and my husband was working in sales. my husband got laid off, and our income supported us for awhile, but then I got laid off. We survived on savings for 2 months while I applied everywhere for jobs...I put in probably over 100 applications in 1 months time. My husband meanwhile decided he didn't feel like applying for a job. He has spent all day long playing xbox for 2 months and put in maybe 4 applications and never even called back. Now we have $150 in the bank and $700 in bills due and can't pay our rent. I have a lot of experience in childcare so I've been putting out flyers and advertising on myspace for $125 a week for 1 kid and $175 for two a week and I offered to take up to 6 kids total. So far only one person has inquired and that was yesterday and she hasn't called back yet. I am about to pawn my engagement ring off just to pay the rent. I'm scared to death. I also think I'm pregnant. I don't understand why he is doing this he always supported me but now he isn't trying at all. We have nowhere to go none of our family can take us.

Voting Question: Open an office - have basic questions?

I'm about to (or at least hope to) open my own office soon. I'm wanting to start small with technology, mainly a 2 or 4-line phone. My question is maybe simple, but I'm used to the in-house switchboard operated multi-lines, but I'm not in a position yet to need, nor be ready for that type of investment. My question is this: If I get either 2- or 4-line phones (probably 4 just to be expandable in the future without new equipment) and have lines hooked up to them, will I need to publish/advertise each number as an office number or can they be set up to have one "master number" that will ring the 2nd line if the main line is in use? And the same basic question for 4-line. If this can't be done with a "traditional" landline, could it be done with a VoIP system set to simulring? My second question is that office furniture is VERY expensive (at least as a startup) but also, at least in my opinion, very important since the customers first impression will be how your office looks. So, are there any places that rent/lease professional office furniture cheaply enough to make it worth not going ahead and buying it? I'm going to be in need of at least one desk for my office, a reception desk and one other desk for the front office, plus chairs for all of those, chairs for customer waiting, and customer chairs in the office(s). Also needed will be file storage, decorative/functional furnishings (bookcases/display cases/hutches), and all of that is going to cost a few months worth of earnings to buy outright - which as stated would be a huge strain initially. If anyone knows of a reputable, and cheap rental/lease company that would actually service SW Indiana it'd be appreciated (since the things I have found are Indy/St. Louis/Nashville). Other questions include how much should I budget for signing - which the space I've selected will only have door graphic signage, and a 18"x12" road sign space available if I desire. Sorry for all the questions, but I don't want to push myself into moving into my own office space if I'm going to jump in over my head. I *think* I've got the budget pretty well down - the space is $450, electric is around $50/mo, so I've got the bare basics, but if I'm going to be spending more than I'm bringing in it's not feasable. I should add I'm guaranteed $1500/mo for at least 6 months, plus my own income. But, I'm trying to budget for no more than $900 of that per month, since I've obviously got my own personal things to pay as well. I can stay in the office I have now - but I have no personal signage, and share an office building (and shared phone system) with 4 other people also making commission - so getting calls is like being a chicken in the alligator enclosure. I'm also going to have to pay $200/mo to stay there - with only a basement cubicle, and no personal phone line, no ability to set my own VM message @ my extension because the office manager is cheap and that requires the phone company to change, and drive about 60 miles/day round trip 5-6 days per week (appx $40/week in fuel + general maintenance). Obviously the private office will be a little more up front, but will save about 300 miles/week on my car, and allow for less competition over incoming calls and walk-ins. OK, think I'm done rambling. Thanks all! more

Resolved Question: Have you met Joe Republican?

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university. Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have." more

Resolved Question: False Advertising on Used Car... Law Advice?

I purchased a 2004 Santa Fe from a used car lot. When I bought it, I believed it was an LX trim, with a 3.5 liter engine... as per the online ad on their website and on auto trader. However, I found out after purchasing it that it is the GLS Trim model, with a 2.7 liter engine. On kelly blue book the difference in value between the vehicles is: the GLS model is worth roughly 10% less than the model I thought I was purchasing. Now, the bill of sale does not list a trim. Just the make and model. However, I have a print out of both adverts, both with a picture of the car I bought, stating the 'false' specs. Is this enough to prove false advertising? I would ask for my money back, but I spent $75 registering the vehicle and $275 buying tires for it. I would need to be reimbursed for those costs should he offer a return.

Resolved Question: Help with resume - Describing and listing responsibilities/accomplishments?

I was the manager at a pre-owned dealership from Jan-Nov 09. I'm having some difficulty listing my job responsibilities and accomplishments--please have a look and offer some input... Filed and organized paperwork Verified client applications and information Determined eligibility of in house financing Processed payment information (down payments) and collected monthly car notes Advertised new cars and sales as well as general business - online and by flyer Attended auctions with owner to purchase new lot vehicles, helped appraise vehicles. (I wasn't terribly great at appraising) Give pay to mechanics Renegotiate with buyer after vehicle re-possession Notify buyers by telephone and mail of late car notes and possible re-possession. The lot was quite small, we would have a total of maybe 10-15 cars on site and we would sell about 8/10 per month. I personally sold a few by "accident" but listing that doesn't seem appropriate because it wasn't necessarily my job to be a salesgirl and I didn't use any special technique. So of those cars we had to repossess 1-2 every few months. Of those cars I was able to get the cars back to the buyer by settling on late payments and arranging a more suitable future payment (lot owner approved, of course). And for those cars that weren't repossessed but late on payments I always managed to get them to pay within 12-24hrs of speaking to them. I would say about 80% of the clients I determined in house financing for were good, on time, clients. How in the world do I list this properly? more

Resolved Question: Do i have the right to sue this dealership?

I bought a car from a dealership in Ohio. The price was $2300 and I just needed a car to give me kids to get to school. I bought the car as is, knowing only that I had to change the tires ( that's the only thing they told me that needed fixing) so I bought the car and took it back to my home in Michigan. The next day I took it to a mechanic and they told me the car had a blown transmission and it was missing a head on the gasket on top of regular servicing. They told me I was even lucky that the car didn't blow up on the way back home. But they told me it would cost 2000 extra to fix and i don't have the money to fix the car at all and i don't want to keep going out of my way to take my kids to school before work. Since the dealership falsely advertised the car, could i sue them and get my money back, or make them pay for the transition repairs? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: I bought a car and turn around and couldn't get it in my name because it has a lien on it. What can I do?

I bought my 2000 ford focus le wagon and went to get it in my name and found out that the title has a lien on it. I called the guy that sold it to me and he states that he didn't know it had a lien on it. He's a small car dealership owner. The guy that sold it to the dealership owner had the lien against him. I paid $2500 for it and found the advertisement where he had it advertised for $3500. That to me makes it sound like he knew. Anyways, I'm giving him to monday to find the lien holder release form that my dmv told me I would have to have to put it in my name. If I don't hear anything by then, I'm gonna call him and tell him either my money or we go to court. Is this the right decision or should I try something else? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also surprisingly I was able to put insurance on it. more

Voting Question: Please help! Is this a good narrative essay?

This is my first narrative essay. Please tell me what I can do to improve this. Anything is helpful. Sorry the grammar is not perfect, I did this in a rush. My first visit to Tokyo was a life changing experience. I did not want to go to Tokyo and I expected it to be a dull and boring trip, but I was provided with an experience of a lifetime and a new view on life. Walking out of the air conditioned train station with my mother, a blast of hot humid air surprised me and nearly pushing me backwards. As I walked out onto the sidewalk, I gazed up to the sky and saw many tall glass-plated skyscrapers. “Mom!”, I exclaimed, “what are these tall buildings for?” “Well Kurt”, she replied, “these are office buildings, where businessmen work.” “Will I ever work in one of these buildings?” I asked. “If you work hard in school and try your best you will one day” she explained. Walking down the street, I was surprised by the hustle and bustle of city life, the amount of people on the sidewalk and the amount of cars on the roads creating a never ending traffic jam. The sounds of hammering from constructions sites, the loud blasting music from stores and restaurants, the sound of cars honking, people talking and advertising campaigns was like music to my ears. These were the real sounds of a big city. Walking around Tokyo and taking in the sights and sounds, as sweat ran down my forehead, drenching my shirt, I was speechless. The city felt like a never ending maze with streets that led to streets upon streets. Walking past an alley, I noticed homeless people digging through dumpsters and sleeping in old, dirty stained clothing. “Mom, why are those people homeless?” I asked. “Because they do not have a job and do not have any money,” she explained. “I don’t want to end up like that when I am older,” I added. “Work hard, get a good paying job and make lots of money. Then, you will not have to worry about being homeless,” she stated. After walking around parts of Tokyo, my mother and I walked to the nearest train station, which was crowded with people as usual. Buying train tickets was very confusing. There were so many flashing lighted buttons the ticket machine looked like a Christmas tree. Finally, after purchasing the tickets, we made our way over to the train which was filled beyond its doors. Two men, wearing white gloves and police like uniforms, pushed people into the train as they tried to get everyone in. After the chaos of getting onto the train was done, I could only notice how full the train was. “Why are there so many people on the train,” I asked quietly. “Because most of these people are going to and from their jobs,” my mom explained. The train was like a giant sauna and there were so many people no one could move. Luckily, our stop was next and I did not have to bear the train ride any longer. The walk to Tokyo Tower was peaceful and refreshing. The route to the tower was through one of the few parks in Tokyo and it felt like I was in the middle of a forest, not in a city. I could hear the branches swaying in the wind, the birds singing and the bugs buzzing. As I approached the tower and looked up, I was impressed by how the tower stood out like a diamond in the rough. As the elevator went up, the city began to emerge before my eyes and I felt at ease to be out of all the chaos. I felt like I was on top of the world looking down at a never ending concrete jungle. Looking out at the view, I felt mesmerized by all the tall buildings. “What kind of people live at the top those tall buildings,” I asked, as I kept my eyes glued to the view. “People who have worked hard all their life,” answered my mom. “Why do they try so hard?,” I retorted. “Because you only live once and you should do everything you can to make the most out of life,” my mother stated, hoping that I will do as she says. Starring at the view, I was impressed and inspired. Just like the never ending view of the city, I realized that there is a never ending amount of opportunities and possibilities in life. In conclusion, my visit to Tokyo turned out to be more than a trip. The visit changed me as a person, taught me what was important in life and that I should work hard for what I want because things do not come easily. In addition, my visit to Tokyo showed me that we only have one life, therefore, we should work hard and make the most of it. more

Resolved Question: What is your opinion about Costa Mesa won't enforce anti-solicitation law?

COSTA MESA - The city of Costa Mesa has placed a moratorium on its anti-solicitation ordinance that civil rights groups say targets day laborers seeking employment on public streets. A month ago, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, along with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, filed a lawsuit on behalf of day laborers challenging the ordinance.The lawsuit alleged that the 2005 ordinance violates the day laborers First Amendment rights and bans "active solicitation" by, of or from people in moving cars and in commercial parking areas that have signs prohibiting such actions. "They know they are going to lose," said Naui Huitzilopochtli, a member of Colectivo Tonantzin, a day laborer advocacy group. "The day laborers are happy that they settled for the moment." The city of Costa Mesa has agreed to halt enforcing the ordinance pending a decision by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal on a challenge to a similar anti-solicitation ordinance in the city of Redondo Beach, according to an ACLU release. Costa Mesa officials did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment. Click here for more immigration-related news. The solicitation ordinance is designed to address conduct that creates a public safety hazard and obstructs the entrances and exits to public streets and parking lots, according to the city. The city has for years tried to tackle issues related to day laborers. In 2005, the city shuttered a job center, which citizens argued attracted illegal immigrants and wasted taxpayers' money. The center – formerly on Placentia Avenue – opened in 1988 in response to complaints about loitering, traffic problems and unsafe conditions when laborers searched for work on streets and at parks. In September, police went to five hot spots throughout the city and arrested 12 day laborers for illegally soliciting work in three locations. The day laborers were later deported. Police Chief Christopher Shawkey said in a recent interview that police received 114 complaints from residents and business owners about day laborers intimidating customers and swarming vehicles prior to the September arrests. The day laborers were free to be in the locations if there were no violations of the ordinance, Shawkey added. He said the city has reached out to nonprofit and church groups to let them know about the guidelines of the ordinance. According to the ACLU, the ordinance also stops a wide range of other groups, including small businesses that use handheld advertising on public streets, homeless people who seek donations, people in fund-raising activities and students who try to get the attention of passing motorists for car washes. Besides asking city officials to halt the ordinance, the lawsuit asks that the city pay damages to Colectivo Tonanztin in an amount to be determined at trial. The suit also asks for reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses of the litigation. http://www.ocregister.com/news/day-237171-ordinance-laborers.html more

Resolved Question: Is Premiere Productions Inc. a bait and switch scam operation?

I had an interview with Premiere Productions Inc. for an Event and Wedding Planner position that they had advertised on Craigslist. I was interviewed by one person and she told me that I was perfect fit for the position and company which was odd to me because she hardly asked me any questions about my background and qualifications. The day after the interview I received an email and call from a man named Joshua Komer who told me that the position would require me to pay Premiere Productions Inc. $3500 to $11,000 for their training which they did not mention in their job listing or during the in person interview. Since when do you have to pay a company thousands and thousands of dollars for 12 weeks of training as a prerequisite for a job? I told him that I was looking for a legitimate job and career opportunity. I expressed my reservations and concerns about the costs associated with their training program. Joshua told me that they could assist me in taking out a loan and line of credit in my name to finance the training. He also made it a point to assure me that I wouldn't have a problem paying the loans off quickly because I would be making lots of money through various internships during the training program. If that's the case then why do I need to pay them so much money in advance and why can't they take it out of the earnings I'm going to make while I'm being trained. This fellow Joshua sounded like a used car salesman. I consulted a friend of mine who happens to be an attorney and he told me that this sounds very hokey and thinks that they're trying to convince me to take out a loan so that they get all the money up front and will be in the free and clear once I realize that Premiere Productions Inc. is a fraudulent scheme at which time the only recourse I will have is to deal with both Premiere Productions Inc. and the bank to seek financial restitution. Then Joshua proceeded to tell me that he is currently an Event Producer at Premiere Productions Inc. and was in my shoes just a few shorts months ago, but took a leap of faith and paid for their training program. If Joshua is really an Event Producer, then why is he spending all this time trying to sell honest job seekers on the hopes and false promises of their paid training program when he should be planning events and weddings as he was allegedly trained to do. I asked to speak to his supervisor and I was told that I would be contacted by a lady named Maria Cook. When Maria contacted me over the phone, I pressed her for more details regarding the training and job. I could not get a straight answer out of her regarding how I was going to get paid while enrolled in the training program. Although that didn't prevent her from trying to coax me into trying to sign a contract to pay them $11,000. When I told Joshua and Maria that I would not be signing up for their training program they got very hostile and angry. In addition I kept receiving hostile and harassing emails from them for several days. Is it me or is their job posting for Event and Wedding Planners a good ole bait and switch tactic to get people to pay money to get training for placement into a non-existent job? Am I being scammed, ripped off, and bamboozled by this tag team of Joshua Komer and Maria Cook?There website is www.premiere-productionsinc.com more

Resolved Question: If you ran a Mexican Drug Cartel...?

...would you want marijuana to be worth $100.00/oz, or $5.00/oz? The inability of certain redneck hicks on here to fully reason through a topic (without blatant generalizations) disturbs me, but I'll try not to let that interfere with the more important issue. Now, because my last question was cut off horribly short, here is my proposal: 1. Legalize marijuana. 2. Restrict it, exactly as we do alcohol. 3. Tax it. The "you can't tax marijuana" theory is a fallacy. I can grow tobacco and distill booze, but I do neither of these things, nor do many other people. I would simply buy it and pay the tax as a convenience charge. 4. Driving, advertising, and manufacturing of marijuana remains a crime. Possession does not, assuming you are of legal age and not operating a motor vehicle. Open container = sack or pipe in the car. It's really not that big of a leap, folks. 5. Tax the crap out of it. Think about it... a pack of 10 joints, sold for $20.00, is still cheaper than the price at which cartels are moving it, and would last a casual smoker several weeks. $10.00 of that can go to taxes. 6. Of that $20.00, $10.00 is taxes, $5.00 is for the farmer, $5.00 is for the roller. 7. If you make it a legal requirement that only HAND-ROLLED marijuana may be sold in stores, you are employing thousands of people in the lower-income demographic. Now, disregarding the amount of money that we spend to incarcerate, feed, clothe, house, and guard all those "hardened pot-smoking criminals", consider the money generated FOR the economy, for the government, and for society. There are a dozen reasons why this will not work, if you completely ignore the idea of addressing the problems point by point. There is *every* reason why it will work, for the good of humanity, if you allow it to. more

Voting Question: What do you think of the $2-4k used car business right now?

Ive been involved in small car lots before. Even helped start and worked at one for 2 years back in 2006. We sold 20-25 cars per month out of that store. Nice building, garage, nice lot and good location. - The building can still be available to me. ($850/month) Other than tax time, what do you think of going back into that business, but instead of carrying 30 cars like we did, maybe 10 + Quick Detailing. I know how to advertise online, and offline and spread the word. I was thinking of adding a cleaning business, Quick detailing for $40 per car, done in 35-40 minutes etc. With the economy, what do you think of that combo? Employing maybe 1 person full time, and 2 on part-time income. Holding it at this until building the business to possibly carry 15 cars paid for. If you want specifics on income, Id say full time 500/week and part time 250/week each for a while. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: POLL:Is this a good and realistic way to become rich??

Here is one but kind of a gamble. Invest money and work till you get 30,000 dollars. Say you are going to host a the biggest race of all time.Advertise BIG......charge 1,000 dollar admission fee. Must be driver,navigator plus a car. Have 100-150 ppl enter race. Winner wins 30,000 dollars you stay with the rest. They are responsible for food,hotel,safety,etc..make a map to the harshest conditions. Then with that money invest in small stores(some of the money) and stocks. I think this is hustling but no? because winner get 30G,2nd get 10G and 3rd 5G. And of course I'm going to have to find a cheap .way to follow them all. Then with all that money actually start a REAL racing league like NASCAR but in extreme environments with no safety kind of like a Bullrun+Death Race mix. Pay per view 100 for 1 race-150 for 2 and so on .To be in it 1000 dollar admssion applies to this league too or maybe not seeing the recession. Live off the money I make from that monopoly and start mechanic,auto parts stores etc...Race wil not be held in US more

Resolved Question: Do conservatives need crying complaining liberal pest around?

Let us ask Joe the Conservative. Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a conributor. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noon time and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university. Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like. I have." more
