For large size - double to king size quilts.

Both families and singles just barely making it.........

Will they be "required" to have insurance and who will pay for it?

We are looking at displacement trawlers for Alaskan waters. Fiberglass, aluminum and even steel hulls have come up. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Which would you have and why? What about electrolysis in harbors with a steel or aluminum hull? Does a steel hull use sacrificial zincs up faster?

I want to send my son a new phone in Seattle. I am in Alaska. We do not have Sprint here.

I work in health care and was asked to co-chair a "voluntary" committee for safety & security. This will entail making and educating the workers in a disaster plan. I believe that since our efforts will help the organization in a work environment, we should be paid ( not just given pizza for our lunchtime meetings.) The scope of what they are asking for, will entail many hours of work and planning. Employees should be paid for training necessary to implement the plan. The person in the paid safety, security & infection control position started this committee to help him do his job, because he is overwhelmed. I feel that all employees should be paid for work that benefits the organization. Am I wrong?

If you received $75,000 in an unexpected inheritance, how would you invest it to receive max returns for retirement in 10 yrs?

Series EE bonds were in my name with son as beneficiary. He does not live with us. I paid his car insurance, cell phone bills and used the Series EE bonds ( $3000 in interest) for his school. Can I deduct interest is he is not listed as my dependent? What would be the best way to handle interest income?

Your story hit a nerve with me. My son has a very similar story.

Try looking at your situation for the root cause. The anxiety/depression/insomnia is taking over your life. Start here. Because this is the only way you will break the cycle. You have already identified the problem - now you need help. You can't do this all on your own. Contact your local mental health agency or NAMI ( National Alliance for Mentally Ill) in your area. The symptoms you describe are signs of amental condition. There is no stigma attached to this.

Mental illness is just that - an illness to be treated and overcome. NAMI can help with advice. Get to a free clinic. Are you close to a university that may offer sliding scale clinics? You need to deal with the underlying cause to be able to succeed - and you will succeed. Surround yourself with positive thoughts. Insomnia and depression are a powerful combination. They can rob you of the ability to think clearly - it's tough when you are always tired and down. The quest to get help, may not be easy - but it is essential. Keep asking for help!!

In the meantime, you need to keep trying to take care of yourself. Get down to your local state employment office. Be honest, explain your situation. You still need to eat and take care of yourself.

I am sorry you have no family to count on. My son is in a similar situation and I will always be there for him, even though he is many miles away.

I can tell by reading you are a highly intelligent person. You can do this! You are worth it! DO not get discouraged, for it only leads to more failure. Reward yourself for the positive things, no matter how small. This may take time, but you can do it! Please, please seek help. I know it may be difficult, but the insomnia and depression have to be dealt with. They are a powerful combination and will suck you down everytime.

I wish you all the best. Be well and good luck!! You do have a future and it is better. You can find it with a little help. You do have people pulling for you - I am one.

My new hubby used to chew tobacco, but he has been using the nicotine gum for over a year now. He chews 4 pieces of 2mg many times a day. ( I am talking several boxes of 90/week). What are the risks? I have tried to wean him off with regular gum, but no luck. Any ideas?

I live in Juneau, Alaska. We had over 200" of snow last winter.
