Too early to start campaigning for office?
November 2010 a seat for county commissioner will be on the ballot. We keep electing the same old half dead good ol boys...our property taxes keep going up. People complain, and then re-elect them. They would be hard to beat...what do you think about starting now? Over a year in advance? I was thinking about creating a piece to mail with a magnet people could stick on their fridge as a reminder. Good idea? Bad?
2 AnswersElections1 decade agoCut a chunk off the bottom of my foot.?
Had a bit of an accident and took a chunk out of the bottom of my heel. It's the size of a quarter and the depth as well, pretty much right down the the meat. Do I have that looked at? Or just keep it clean and let it heal.
2 AnswersFirst Aid1 decade agoHow do towns attract new businesses?
I keep hearing this question in our local election, and the answers are always the same. Inexpensive land and tax breaks, inexpensive land and tax breaks...doesn't seem to be working in our town. Are there any more creative ideas?
6 AnswersOther - Advertising & Marketing1 decade agostory about why dogs die young?
I read on line a story about someone explaining to their child why dog's die young. Something about how dogs don't need to learn how to love, so they can die earlier. Sort of a tear jerker story...any one have a copy of that?
4 AnswersDogs1 decade agoLooking for a good political slogan for city council bid.
I am running for city council. My platform is that I am conservative with money. I believe money should be spent on roads, bridges, public safety etc. Not pet projects. What would be a good slogan for my signs?
3 AnswersElections1 decade agoNeighbor hitting golf ball towards my house.?
So I have the first house going up in a new development. The guy across the street is used to hitting balls into the field, well my house is there now and he hasn't stopped. It's only a matter of time before he "shanks" one and takes out a window. I haven't moved in yet, I'm assuming he'll stop once I'm hanging aroud full time. I've met the guy and was nice even though he was trying to "push my buttons" complaining about the new development. I can tell the guy is a hot head.
Soo.....I should, what?

1 AnswerSecurity1 decade agoIs there such a thing as a "fake" hangover?
After quite a few years of abuse, I quit drinking a month ago. On occassion I wake up and feel hungover still. I was speaking with a friend who had also quit around the same time, and he has had the same experience. Is there such a thing? Is there a name for it?
4 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoHow do you get female employees to stop the gossip?
Every few months I end up in a situation where one female employee will apparently be speaking poorly about another one. It's not always the same two, it rotates. We have had meetings to talk about it, both in groups and individualy. I've read books, I even see employees reading "how to get along" type books. Note; they make sure everyone sees them reading the book too, nice... We have lunches together to try and boost moral etc. But they just can't quite ever seem to cut out the nasty gossip. Apparently what they are saying is so bad I can't even drag it out of anyone. Is there anyway short of just firing people to get them to stop?
12 AnswersGender Studies1 decade agoDo you take off your clothes at the chiropractor?
I'm not being wierd, it's just that I was giving my buddy crud the other day because he was talking about how when he would go he would end up wearing just his boxer shorts. I went for several different reasons and never took anything off. FYI - not that it matters, but his doctor happened to be gay...Do people normally undress for the chiropractor?
7 AnswersInjuries1 decade agoWhat things are “a must have” in a new home?
I am going to be building a new home. Nothing huge, I’m single, no kids. I’m thinking a two bedroom one floor finished basement. Some sort of cottage or bungalow type deal. I’m starting a list of what it must have. As in a garage with a door leading into a mud room and then the kitchen? Or into an entry way next to the front door? Steps from the garage down into the basement? I guess I’m asking about basic convenient layout. What about your homes layout do you like? What do you wish you had? What don’t you like?
One thing I do want even though it will be a smaller home is a decent sized entry. I visit new homes, even larger ones, and all of the company ends up on this tiny bit of tile in the entry way falling over each other, the kids and the dog trying to put shoes on and off.
9 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoIs it illegal to delete files before leaving a company?
I had an employee leave, before she did she deleted quite a bit of contact information in her Outlook file. She printed it out and took it with her as she is staying in the same line of work. Now I'm stuck putting this information back together, as I need someone else to contact these accounts. Is what she did against any sort of law?
7 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoHow much hazing is ok?
So next year my nephew will be in high school Hockey. My brother just heard about an incident in the locker room in which a freshmen player was held down while other players put their private parts on his face. My brother is pretty up set, other people seem to think kids will be kids. Is this type of behavior normal, acceptable?
10 AnswersHockey1 decade agoWhat percentage of people would not steal?
Maybe we need to narrow this down, my honesty question is too general. Out of your friends, what percentage would never steal if they knew for sure they wouldn't get caught?
8 AnswersSociology1 decade agoWhat percentage of people of people are honest?
Now I’m not talking about honest in such a way that they will answer personal questions about themselves, people have secrets, it’s a given. I’m talking about getting too much back in change and giving it back. Admitting they are wrong in an argument instead of trying to argue and invalid point. Maybe doing or saying something they shouldn’t have and asking forgiveness. You know, the hard stuff. What percentage of people would you guess are actually honest?
