I am trying to remember a song. It's from the 60's or so, and it is is in a European language. Possibly French. It's a famous duet. It is poppy, and famous, and has a campy tone. I can't place it. Does anyone have an idea?

It was a low budget film about these people who get lost and end up in a small town in the middle of the USA somewhere. The people welcome them, and throw them a part where they kill two of the current residents. We quickly find out that the town has to have a consistent number of residents or...something bad happens. The two people are not allowed to leave. I think the title is a number, which was the number of people in the town, but I don't remember it. Someone help!

I have had a ringing in my ear for about a week. My brother has just had an ear infection that made him lose 90% of his hearing in his ear and I visited him and the next day this started. I'm in Maryland where it snowed 2 feet. I had an appointment on Friday that was canceled, I have an appointment today that was canceled. I don't have health insurance. I don't know if there are any home remedies or not and if I should go to the emergency room or wait out the weather until tomorrow (hopefully).

Every time I let my babies out of their cage, all they do is look for food and eat my carpet. Why are they so obsessed?

So, two weeks ago I was fired. It was a job I had for twelve days. My boss calls me in on a Tuesday and says she has to let me go. I say that doesn't make sense and is a complete surprise because I have been checking with her every time I do something new and she has been happy with what I have been doing. I never got a warning and I've only received positive feedback. She says that I don't fit in with the company culture. It doesn't make sense to me...

Or do you think that slang is only for psychologists? Me, with a masters, not a doctorate.

Sometimes I worry about disease, but I do it anyway. Does that ever bother others? Or the whole fact that is is alcohol, and addictive substance.

Let's be a bit creative and explain to me why it is. I'm looking for a good story.

Or ever?

I know it's cheaper, but the food isn't nutritious. None of it. They know this and don't change the product. They are known to be cruel to animals. The workers get underpaid. They commercialize to children and try to promote their food as healthy through Michael Phelps and other athletes. They are pure evil!

Surely it is worth a buck not to buy McDonald's. Why would anyone shop there ever?

I am looking for something I could do for two weeks starting New Years (2008-2009). I would like to be outside and not freezing cold. Any ideas ladies and gentlemen?

I've been having on and off stomachpain for about 3 months. Yesterday I noticed a little bit of blood when I wiped myself in the bathroom. Today investigated and decided it was definately my anus. I haven't done any kinky stuff that may cause it to bleed. When I say a little I mean that I didn't notice it unless I wiped and it was so little that I couldn't figure out where it was coming from yesterday. That's still going on. Today, well tonight I have started to taste blood in the bck of my mouth when I breath. I mean a rust/iron taste.

I went to a doctor a month ago for stomach pain alone and she gave me some pills, said I had gastritus. It made me feel better for when I was on them (1 week). Now, this bleeding is concerning. I will call her (my doc) tomorrow, but ....

1. Do you think this is a tonight type of thing?

2. Do you have any hunches of what might be going on?

I've thought about it, and it seems like commercials really depict what America's value. This makes sense since commercials want to relate to the most people possible. You can see white, black, men and women doing different role tasks (like cleaning) in commercials but you hardly ever see Arabs.

Do you think that commercials are a really accurate reflection of the way America is?

Money begits money type of thing?

Would you consider it for yourself or no? Why or why not?

Long version: I went out for Halloween. I went in to the city and I parked. A guy told me it was illegally parked, so I went to get into my car. I locked myself out. So, I was illegally parked at like 10:30pm in a very crowded city. The jerks charged me $250, by the way. While I was standing there for 1.5 hours until midnight noticed that I was in front of a line of hispanic men. When I got there there were like 5 of them. When I left there were like 20 of them. While I was there they kept getting more guys and at one point a bg truck dropped off a bunch and there were a bunch of luggage looking bags out of the back fo the truck. They didn't go anywhere the whole time I was there and they were all standing there when I left. What the heck was going on?

Short version: I witnessed about 30 hispanic guys standing on the side of the road for 2 hours in the middle of the night with bags. What was going on?

I find that I do, and I wonder if that's universal or not.

I just knew McCain and Obama and when I went there were many more names. Did anyone else feel confused and upset that they hadn't been informed? What's up with that?
