Completely against my permission, my wife went to a church, which requires both parents with custody to sign giving them permission to baptize my child. I was against it and was very vocal to her of my opposition. She, or someone else, forged my name on the document showing that I gave permission for the baptism. Has she committed a felony or misdemeanor?

Hello Folks.. I'm living in a 18 month old house with 2370 Sq Feet living area. The living & dining rooms, kitchen & breakfast rooms have 12 ft. ceilings, the rest of house has 9 ft. ceilings. There is a 12x14ft bonus room and full bath upstairs above my garage. My A/C unit is only 3.5 tons and there is only one unit for the whole house but there is a thermostat in the master bedroom downstairs and a thermostat upstairs in the bonus room. The evaporator in the attic is a 4 ton (13 SEER unit). We have had the A/C folks out here DOZENS of times trying to get the system to cool the house properly. The worst problem is upstairs. By 12 noon on a typical southern summer day (Louisiana) it will be 80 degrees and will get as high as 84 degrees by 2pm if the outside temp is in the high to mid 90's, even though the unit will run non-stop during the day and nearly all night some nights. The most unusual "fix" they have tried is to replace the Blower/Furnace with a 5 ton unit in order to increase the air flow to at least 1400 CFM (prior is was less than 1200 CFM). Since they changed the blower, downstairs doesn't seem to be a big problem but upstairs continues to be a problem.

BUT, it seems that the Humidity level is Way too High.. It never gets below 60% relative humidity and will frequently get as high as 65% depending on outside humidity. From everything i have read, 60% is too high for indoor humidity levels. Could this be caused by forcing 5 tons of air through a 4 ton evaporator? The A/C company has begun to refuse to work on this issue any more other than offering to Upgrade my compressor to a 4 ton but they want me to pay them $1,000 for the upgrade. They claim this will fix everything because the air will be MUCH cooler. However, a neighbor of mine had this done to his identical floor plan and he is STILL having trouble cooling his bonus room. The A/C company and the general contractor are now being hauled into court by several residents of my neighborhood with similar cooling issues that they can't seem to get resolved. Can someone offer some advice or insight as to these problems?

Thanks!

Here's what happened to me today.. I went to the ____ and ____ clinic this morning so that my pain management doctor, could perform an ESI injection in my neck.

Before the procedure I was in one of those Operating room cubicle things that you lie in, along with many other patients, all of us waiting for procedures of some kind. the only thing that separates you from the other patients is a partial wall and a curtain.

My Doctor arrived and greeted each of his patients and explained the procedure he was going to perform, nothing new to me. While the doctor was in my "cubicle" and after he was finished talking to me I ask him if he could PLEASE consider changing me to some sort of alternative (oral) pain medication, other than the 10/500 Hydrocodone he has me currently on. I explained to him that I have been on this same medication for 3 years now and I have worked up to the maximum dosage I can take without liver or kidney damage and also that I had tried two other pain medications that he had briefly switched me to (Opana and Kadian) but neither of these medications did anything for me at all and I cannot relieve the pain with the hydrocodone any longer.

well.. the doctor went into this Very LOUD, Very PUBLIC Tyrade telling me that "there's nothing else for you from me! If you want I can send you to ANOTHER pain management doctor that will GLADLY give you ANYTHING at all you want! He will give you Oxycontin! He will give you Fentanyl ! He will give you Darvocet! He will give you ANYTHING you want and as MUCH as you want! If THAT'S what you want, if you want to become ADDICTED to pain medications and take all sorts of HEAVY duty pain medications just say the word and I'll refer you to this doctor and you'll get all the meds you want!"

He then left with a blunt "Make an appointment with my office and we will discuss your options!!" and he walked off...

I could hardly remove the sheets from over my head after this.. Passing by the other patients as I was being wheeled to the OR garnered a SOLID stare from each and every one of them.

Not only do I feel this was WAY WAY out of line for My Doctor to do but it was also publicly HUMILIATING and EMBARRASSING to me for him to HOLLER out my PERSONAL medical information in front of at LEAST 6 or 7 patients and a whole handful of nurses and medical assistants as they were passing by my "cubicle".

Do you know if My Dr. has violated HIPAA laws by this very publicly humiliating outburst??
