  it has been sadly interesting to see fadingeld's and others experiences unfold...wife out the door pronto and some not.

  many here are still married, one in one out.

  i have basically had a sucessful unplanned fade.

  Being married to a j-dub sucks. My wife is having an affair with jehovah, while waiting for me to become bird food.

  i'm tired of being an apostate, atheist, agnostic, take your pick.

  i was going to start calling myself a heretic, but then i decided to look up apostate in the thesaurus.

  look at all the lovely words we have to choose from:.

  Being an apostate isn't so bad.

  It could be worse... you could be a Danny Haszard.

  I'm in a position to make a very difficult decision...

  ok, here's the thing.... i have a 2004 ford taurus.

  it's really nice with sun roof /power seats/heated side mirrors/the works and it's mine but with a payment of $310.

  i was just offered to take a 1995 saturn (still runs decent) for the taurus but with the '95 i will not have a payment though there will be more maintenance on it.. i love my taurus, it makes me feel like i'm still human but i'm very much strapped with finances.

  Sounds like you've got plenty of help and support, but if you need another strong back to move things just let me know.

  Six is right. Make sure you are not getting screwed. Are they purchasing the car from you using their own financing? Or are they merely making the payments for you while the vehicle stays under your name?

  The money you can save by not having a car payment can easily buy you another cheap used vehicle if in case the saturn has a major failure such as an engine or trans.

  Also, think of the money you will save on insurance.

  I'm in the opposite position. I drive an older camry for business and personal use. It has close to 300,000 miles. If I so choose, I could walk into a dealer and get a new car, but I don't want the payment. It's a waste of money and I enjoy using the saved money each month towards important things such as paying off debt and saving for retirement.

  When my car finally takes a dump, I'll get a new car, but you can be sure that I won't be doing that until I have to. There's no shame in being practical with your finances.

  not because of fire but because of the pollution from the smoke and ash.

  Yep, the air quality is horrible here in Los Angeles area. I'm on the road all day and I had to break out my inhaler for the first time in 4 years. Breathing can be difficult for sensitive people. I'm at home in long beach right now and it's amazing how strong the smell of smoke is when you step outside. Despite being miles away from the nearest fire, you can smell it as if your neighborhood is on fire.

  ARIZONA LAWS ON PEDOPHILIA....HELP NEEDED

  by Mary in

  does anyone here know if the laws in arizona require a priest or minister or elder to report cases of child abuse to the authorities?

  someone i know needs this information asap and you can probably guess why.. thanks..

  Hi Mary,

  I saw that too. My impression is that if the priest learns of child abuse within the realm of a confession then he is not required to report it. Yet if the priest learns of child abuse outside of a confession, such as rumors or common knowledge among the congregation members, then he is required to report it.

  My question is: What would keep a priest from claiming that all child abuse he is aware of was learned through a confession? In other words, even if a priest learned of child abuse through a 'non-confession' way such as a rumor, what would stop him from claiming it was learned through a confession? And thereby allowing for him to keep it a secret.

  Arizona seems a bit messed up to me.
