  • Dad unhappy with my brother's adoption..?

    Well to begin, my dad and brother have never gotten along. After the divorce like 20 years ago my brother's mother had alot of mental problems and my brother came to live with us when I was born. Today he is a sucessful, 30 year old CEO of a local Boys and Girls Club. He had a son but his wife cheated on him 3 years ago. They got divorced. He decided to adopt a child. I and my mother are quite happy; however, my dad didn't seem happy at all. My dad never calls my brother unless its important. I know there are deeper problems, I just want my dad to be happy with my brother and his newly adopted son. I asked him if he would call, but he said if he did he would "say something." I dont think my dad loves me or my brother. It makes me very sad. What could i do?

    thanks..

  • Electoral College - will it be gone by '08?

    For instance, we as a country elected Al Gore president. But the Electoral College elected Dubya. I was okay but dissapointed that he won but I was okay with Bush until the War in Iraq. Imagine what the world would be like with Gore as president..

    But back to the topic. Under this legislation:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote...

    the country would shift to an entirely populat vote system.

    Do you support this? Do you think it will pass by '08 elections?

  • Tennessee 101: Info and Comments?

    I noticed some wrong information about Tennessee. I live in

    Tennessee and have been all around it. Let's get the facts straight:

    WEST TENNESSEE:

    1. Not beautiful, unless you find ugly, used cotton fields or wide open brush fields beautiful.

    2. West Tennessee is, for the most part, NOT an urban area. Sure, the Memphis Metropolitan Area is here, but it is only 10% of West Tennessee. The rest is a maugepauge of uninteresting towns sub-5000 in population.

    3. The people in West Tennessee are very uninviting. If you weren't born here, you are invisible to everyone else.

    4. #1 in TN for STD's. ICK!

    5. West Tennessee will be affected very soon by I-69. Maybe this will enrich development.

    6. Culture here = NASCAR/Sports and nothing fun for teens to do.

    7. Oddly, there are many Starbucks..

    MIDDLE TENNESSEE:

    1. Growing, polished; a model for the rest of the state.

    2. They get great music acts and there's alot of culture.

    EAST TENNESSEE:

    1. Snobby and boring.

    2. Sunsphere!! :P

  • Kenmore electrical dryer not working - tried everything!?

    To begin, when you pressed the start button, it made a loud HUMM noise. We tried again and it made that noise and it stopped. First when we took it apart there was lint all in the motor. We removed it and it worked fine. It stopped working in the middle of the load. Then the button began doing the same thing and stopped working. We made sure the belt was on correctly and that the thermal fuse worked. They did. We went to a Sears parts store and bought a replacement motor. Still, nothing. Is the switch broken? The electrical connections to the timer work. What is going on with this dryer?

  • Has anyone signed up for the AT&T Unity plan??

    I want to know if your mobile & landline anytime minutes are pooled together? Like if I call out of the AT&T calling area, does this take away from my cell phone minutes?

    It seems like a good deal. I have Cingular (now the new AT&T... that phrase is driving me nuts...) and BellSouth in Tennessee. Details have been sparse, can anyone help?

  • 15 year old guy needs a new hairstyle - desperate!?

    Here's the deal. I have brownish/blonde hair. My hair is odd. After I wash it its really straight. But as it dries it kinda morphs into a curly-ends "wings" type haircut. It's (when dry) barely past ear length. I'd have it shorter but my forehead is large. (lol..) Well, I'm kinda looking for something brendon urie-ish:

    BUT I dunno if my hair is that straight and manageable to putt that off..Frankly I'm tired of my hair. Any suggestions are REALLY welcome.
