than someone else who also just started but came through another staffing company. This person has very similar background, has the same license and similar years of experience. Additionally, I just found out that there are other people who are new who are making much more for the same job as well. Also, I'm seeing that personnel requirements are being administered unfairly to us. I receive no sick leave, paid time off or any benefits but the one day I had an emergency and was in the hospital, I was called incessantly both by the staffing firm and the place of employment. They were trying to question my integrity by implying that I knew I was sick when I took the job. One last thing - I found out that they give flu shots to regular employees but a few people from staffing firms are not provided these. This is a health care related setting. I felt this was also unfair. Do people think I'm justified in giving this job the boot or do you think it may get better? Am I being a whiner for allowing the discrepancy in pay to bother me? I appreciate any and all opinions as I make my decision!

Also, is it possible within about two weeks' span to travel from Istanbul to Fethiye (Olu Deniz) and then to Cappadocia and back to Istanbul? (by train or bus, or would it have to entail a flight?)

Thanks! Also, if you had to choose, is it better to go to Ephesus or Bodrum?

Are there better ways to end one's life - what might be the least painful and most expedient?

This is for a lost passport. If one contacts the state of birth and pays for a replacement, does the state supply the birth certificate with seal so that it is acceptable for the State Department for reissuing the passport? I have never lost a passport, and I am concerned that they will not accept a copy of the birth certificate.

to me, it is like not so good. I mean it's better than a 5 or 6, but it's not like highly complimentary. I know it sounds trite but I also know that appearance is so so important in life. People lie and pretend like it isn't but so many people are hypocrites and seem to talk out of both sides of their mouths. Does anyone else also feel this way?

What is a standard mortgage broker fee? Is 1.5% a little high for a 30 year fixed refi?

I have a monthly mortgage of $1,350.00 with a 4.92% interest rate which is due to go up. How much might the monthly payment go up if the rate increases to 6.25%? That is on $197,000 with monthly taxes of $330.00 escrowed? That is the only thing escrowed (hazard insurance is paid by myself quarterly). Thanks !!!

The material is some form of synthetic and is a bit delicate. Thanks!

If soul mates really exist, then 1. why are there so many divorces 2. why do arranged marriages sometimes work well and 3. why is it that attractive people tend to find their "soul mate" easier? -- or do good looks give one "higher soul mate potential?" LOL.

I hope I don't get a lot of insulting answers on this one, please. I am looking for only serious replies. I do not have health insurance now and need to know whether this is something I should be concerned about - for the past two weeks, I have noticed a black ash of some sort being secreted from under nails and on certain parts of the skin. I do not notice any other symptoms except for fatigue. Do any persons with medical backgrounds have any idea what it might be? Thanks so much!

Trying to decide between taking a train part way (to Montpelier, France) and then drive the rest of the way to Nice or just rent a care from Barcelona if the route is not too circuitous and confusing.

(A range would be fine).

I believe that the world has always been very rough if one is a female, but for a short while it appeared that some strides were being made for women. Now, it seems most of those gains are being eroded as the emphasis on economic survival of the fittest in the developed western hemisphere is becoming more and more prevalent - especially weakening whatever little safety net there ever has been in the past century...What do other people think about this topic? Thanks.
