I have always assumed there is something illegal about a retailer placing a higher price ticket on an item that is already showing a certain price. Am I incorrect?

If the price marker has bad aim when putting a higher price on a product, the higher price rules.

Answer to:
Do people usually get a lot of money back from their income taxes? (by a lot I mean $3,000+) My sister is getting 6 grand and I have never gotten anymore than about 2 grand. 6 grand is a lot I think. If you're working for someone and get a very large Income Tax Refund, it means that you're letting your employer deduct too much from your paycheck. Unless you're ultra-Patriotic and want to lend the US Your Money, interest-free for the year, I'd advise you to fill out a W-4 form and have the employer deduct less taxes from your pay.

I'm sure that the "quail eggs" used in those shampoos are highly processed, and therefore do NOT have Salmonella or other nasty microbes to put in your scalp. Why not just leave them alone? Quails are cute, and provide food for the odd cats or foxes who also live behind your office building.

She won't thank you. After the teeth are cleaned, get the Vet's ideas of the kind of dry food that will keep the gums healthy. Good Luck!

It looks as if the charcoal holders are in the path of gas heater flames that "start" the coals. If you want to ignite the charcoal on the bottom grill, you can do it, but it defeats the reason that you paid the big bux for the gas heater.

Any ambidextrous people out there have any tips for writing left-handed? Due to a wrist fracture, I have to write left-handed, and it's hard! Been a lefty all my life. Writing IS hard, at least in some languages. Make sure that you don't smear the letters as your hand progresses over the page while you write. The best (unrealistic) solution would be to switch to Hebrew, Arabic, or Chinese, which go from right to left, or up/down.

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can't go that fast on any road? In the olden days, men wore trousers that had Codpieces, rather than buttons or zippers for a fly. Sometimes men would stuff some extra material into the codpiece to make it look bigger (for some unknown reason, heh, heh). In that tradition, that's why Speedometers go up to 130+ miles per hour.

I've ridden on freeways with a 350 cc bike, and to me, it was the minimum I'd be comfortable with.

Since God gave us the ability to expel gas from our body, is it ok to fart in church? No. Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. You have a body and a soul. The body is animalistic and sensual, not interested in spiritual things. In order to purify yourself for the soul to make "contact" with a Higher Being, it is necessary to control the body.

Would you be OK with the split of the United States of America into 6 parts? Would you move out of your (insert color here) state to a (insert color here) state? Seems to me that there was a war fought in 1861-65 that kept the US from splitting into TWO sections. Why do you propose a more complex split? Ideology? For a view of such a future, refer to the book (or movie) "The Handmaid's Tale," by Margaret Atwood. (If your parents and library let you).

My experience has been that all of the antibiotic prescription should be used up; that just since you feel better doesn't mean that the infection/whatever is totally cleared out.

Real life scenario: My company just hired a person that I have to work with. She made derogatory comments about some other employees, and then befriends the same people she made fun of. I hardly speak to her (now). What else should I do? If you, yourself, start spreading derogatory information about her, aren't you just as evil as she is? She's not going fool everyone--people will see behind the chinks in her armor, and will realize what she is.

Answer to:
Did God create Dinosaurs? There is obvious proof of there existence, though no mention of them in the Bible. My lame theory is they were created to flatten the earth. Well, the first part of the Book of Genesis is very hard to take literally. Some take it as an allegory, especially with Adam/Eve/Serpent. If you see the First Six Days of Creation as Undetermined (to us) Periods of Time, rather than 24-hour Human days, it begins to make sense.

Answer to:
Is there still a valid reason for people to use Ham Radios? "When all else fails...Ham Radio!"

Amateur Radio communication technology is open and flexible enough to establish communication links,...

Is a Long Distance Relationship worth it? One problem that I found was that on the phone, in letters & emails, and during the times that we were together, we were always on our "best behavior."

Ultimately, it was worth it. But...

Answer to:
Which Dracula movie did you find the most scary? Actually, the 1931 "Original," starring Béla Lugosi is the most chilling for me. Lugosi's acting, expressions, pacing of the dialogue, accent, and stage presence still give me the chills. I was once able to imitate the laugh of that pitiable Renfield, as he reached for spiders and rats to devour. Oooough! I will have trouble getting to sleep tonight!

Answer to:
Satan is a product of Christian thinking. So how can those who reject Christianity maintain their belief in him? Wouldn't such belief entail a residue of the very Christianity the believer means to deny? In Judaism, the Satan (pronounced "Sutton") is not opposed to G-d. In the allegory of the Book of Job, he is a construct to bring out the true nature of Job's character, and accepts the limitations that G-d imposes. In Talmudic thought, the Satan holds the post of Tempter, Tattletale, and Prosecuting Attorney for the Divine Tribunal. But he draws a salary--he's not an...

How large were the temple stones in Jerusalem? There are stones of varying size, depending on when they were placed in the history of the First and Second Temples. See this link: http://mosaic.lk.net/g-wall.html Or you can go and see for yourself. The Western Wall still stands, and extends underground for a good way, as well!

Answer to:
What is red eye in photographs and why do some people show it more than others? When the camera flash is too close to the lens, the light gets into the eyes of the subject, and the blood vessels inside color the light that is reflected back into the lens. If you think that's bad with humans, see how dogs and cats look! The best way to avoid red-eye (and the Professionals use this) is to have a separate flash unit that is Six inches to a foot away from the...

It was served at a meeting of scientists in Moscow. Yum!

My husband got drunk the other night and threw me across our deck. He is still drinking and I left our vacation and came home. He's blaming me and not taking any actions to change. The next category question that I saw in the list was "Why Aren't You Dead Yet?" You'd better take action NOW! Move out to a safe place (with the kids, if any) and call on your community resources to get whatever help you need to protect yourself. "I was drunk" is NOT an excuse. It's a predictor for your future.

Can men at 63 years old still have kids Marlon Brando's last kid was born when when he was 70. Then he died when the boy was only ten years old. You can have 'em, but it's not the best plan, unless there's a driving need for an heir. You probably won't enjoy their best years, and they'll see you only in your declining years. Or is it a paternity situation, you jolly dog, you?

What is the problem with having a black man as a President? Nothing. Things began to roll when among the Vice Presidential Candidates for 1988 and 2000 were a Woman and a Jewish Man. I was pleasantly surprised to see those barriers broken, and hopefully the next barrier will be broken this year.

Not sure of your situation. Assuming you have no agenda (more than one divorced father of my acquaintance has had the experience of an ex- scheduling the kids for routine exams, etc. on their visitation days as a 'gotcha!'), KAFBA's advice is good. If the appointment is something critical or cannot be rescheduled, then I am sure that your ex would be willing to work with...

The Hard Answer, from family experience. Drop Him. Have Nothing to do with him. You've probably found out, by little cues, that he sees you as something that he can use. Of course, it will hurt. But it will hurt harder and longer if you decide to stick with him, and in the end, you'll be alone.

Do fire engines have to stop at red lights I'm not sure how universal it is, but some jurisdictions in Michigan had wired up their traffic lights so that emergency vehicles could trigger them to stop cross-traffic. One of our nearby streets is the direct route to a major hospital, so I see the ambulances/fire engines slow down at lighted intersections, turn on unbelievable noise, then go through.

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. If my contacts get me to 20/20 am I good? I think that this is one of the physical requirements of the Priests and Levite attendants of the Altar, rather than of the person bringing the sacrifice. Anyway, wait a while. The Third Temple must be built through the efforts of G-d and the Messiah before you'll have a chance to bring your offering. You might get better, in the Messianic Age.

What would have happened to Adam and Eve if they did not eat from the tree and sin? The story is more an Allegory, than a strict record of facts. From the text of Genesis, G-d originally created a "Handyman" to tend the Garden. The "Adam" was instructed to stay away from a certain tree. Then G-d did some surgery that resulted in the creation of "Eve," a helpmeet. It seems that at this point, Adam was given more privileges and...

First, Jews are Jews, and non-Orthodox Jews can be counted and participate in Orthodox (if that's what you mean by Torah-Jewish) services--following Orthodox standards. On the other side, it gets sticky because non-Orthodox services don't generally follow the format that comes through our Tradition (as elucidated in the Talmud and its commentaries)....
