Is anyone else this way?<br /><br />Well, no one can make you decide to quit except for year. However, it&#039;ll get harder for you to quit every year and some day you may regret smoking when you suffer premature death or disability because of cigarettes.

I&#039;d take the pay cut any day.

A person&#039;s BAC varies a lot so the number of drinks isn&#039;t arbitrary.

Is it just simply, bad cells replicating, or is there a cause for it? I know stuff like obesity, nutrition, sun radiation, etc. can greatly increase the cances of getting cancer, but do they actually CAUSE cancer?<br /><br />The development of a malignant neoplasm (a cancer) is a multistep process from which normal cells become abnormal cells that proliferate. The risk factors you mentioned increase the risk of cancer.

Just recently him and his parents have gotten in to an argument and he hasn't spoke to them since, but his worry is if they file a runaway on him. But since he is 18 years of age, could he get in trouble for it?<br /><br />I&#039;m pretty sure that an adult cannot be considered a runaway.

You may find that you need the child support--raising a child for 18+ years is expensive. And at the very least, you don&#039;t want the father to change his mind a few years...

My partner convinced me that he was sorry and it wouldn't happen again. I've discovered that it was all a con to get me to retract it. can i still press charges?<br /><br />I&#039;d contact a domestic violence organization in my area for more advice about what to do in the future and how to protect myself.

If my boyfriend of two years moves in with me & contributes financially to the household, gets his mail delivered here, does he have any legal rights to my home should we break up?<br /><br />Especially since you have children, you NEED to protect yourself and contact a lawyer before having your boyfriend move in. A lawyer can help you draft a legal agreement between you and your partner about what you are entitled to if you separate.

That's what generations have said; but I think that idea is becoming extinct.<br /><br />The interesting thing is that pre-marital sex has been the norm for decades, although popular belief tells us that &quot;back in the day&quot;, people were much more likely to not engage in premarital sex. http://www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2006/12/19/index.html Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:00:50 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3240492 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3240460 What are the natural ingredients in botttled water?<br /><br />Minerals for taste.

Should I feel "white guilt" for slavery and other people's racism?<br /><br />I&#039;ve never heard the term &quot;white guilt&quot;, but it seems like a rather useless emotion. There is tons of institutionalized racism in the world today--instead of feeling guilty about it, do something about it.

We accept that children should not be sexually abused. Again Good. What is it that we fear that sex will do to children when we protect them so carefully? Why is it different from sports in its accepted dangers?<br /><br />By definition, sex with children IS sexual abuse because children cannot consent to sexual activity. Minors don&#039;t have the same autonomy over their decisions because they are not yet adults and do not have the maturity and legal capability to make decisions for themselves, like the decision...

Can I live ok without them and just not get my period?<br /><br />Consult your doctor if you&#039;d like to do this. There is a real reason for having your period even though it&#039;s not pleasant--women who do not menstruate at all have a higher risk fo uterine cancer.

If you&#039;ve never had sex, you&#039;re not going to have a STD on your genitals.

People rob and kill other people just because they like that persons shoes. What's it going to be like when we are desperate to feed our families?<br /><br />I&#039;d be more worried about riots in other countries than here. The US is a very rich country, so when we have to scale back on food, that means buying less meat or buying less expensive food, not going hungry.

All people have to do is to wash the tomatoes real good before eating them.<br /><br />I&#039;d do the same thing if I were a supermarket owner. Better to pull tomatoes than to be sued for a lot of money because someone ate an infected one.

Do you agree that this is a form of child abuse? Do you know someone who did this?<br /><br />It could be considered neglect, yes. If the child isn&#039;t old enough to eat foods like that, then she could become malnourished from lack of nutrients.

My hair is naturly dirty blonde.<br /><br />DON&#039;T try to do this yourself or at least without a lot of research. You are right that if you try to go straight from black to blonde, you will be orange or mixed colors. Black to blonde is a difficult process and must be done gradually.

As long as both nursing schools are accredited by nursing organizations, I&#039;d go with the one that cost less which is probably the public school.
