  • What percent of people sign ANYTHING without reading the "fine print" in its entirity?

    Especially if they were told that the thing that they were signing was just explained to them in detail and the paperwork simply reiterated what they were told. Worse yet, later told that they were verbally "instructed" incorrectly about the contents of the paperwork they signed. I have read or been told that MOST all people admittedly dont read entirely what they sign. IS THIS TRUE plus what percent of the populace is this true about?

  • How to straighten this financial mistake?

    Yesterday at TACO BELL i had a quick salad and soda. I was charged $6.92 and left for work.

    TWICE since that time, my debit card (HRBlock Emerald Card) has been debited for the exact same

    amount, payable to TACO BELL. THE last debit was at 05:48am today while I slept (the text alert woke me) and TACO BELL is not even open at that time. WAS this a TACO BELL error or HRBlock error because when I called HRBlock regarding this (almost immediately) they said that the funds have not yet been dispersed to "QSR" and now I have to go through much time and paperwork to retrieve the two times $6.92 ($13.84) unauthorized debit. I seek a faster remedy if anyone has one.

  • Does premature birth effect a person's sign?

    A person that was to have been born Dec 24 is born a month early. Counting days, knowing that

    the date of conception is correct based upon first day of last period being mid March can confrim

    that the expected date of Dec 24 is correct. This person was born prematurely on Nov 26 instead.

    WHAT effect, IF ANY, does this have on a person's astrological personality and more.

  • How much earned income, if any, can a person on SSI earn ON the books?

    My son in law, on SSI for bi polar disability, claims he will jeopordize his SSI benefit if he earns taxable income. His benefit is roughly $675.00 a month. My reasearch shows he can earn just under $1,000.00 a month of taxable income and still recieve his approx $675.00 a month. I told him this is what I found on a dot org or dot gov site and he claims that no two cases are alike and he is not allowed that general allowance.

  • Can you advise a specific text or book?

    I truly need a book, for the lay person, detailing the fundamental description of the functional family unit in the 2000s. I am having a heated debate with a man I divorced in 1994 on how much if any

    do adult offspring interact with parents after they are "grown and gone". I HONESTLY dont want opinion here, just reference to a widely accepted authority on this subject. I have read "MOTHER

    DAUGHTER WISDOM" a best seller for years, as has my own daughter.

  • Can someone from Riardo Italy or expert on Italian history help me?

    In 1979, my mother put together six same memory albums for each her daughters. It included several handwritten pages along with photos professionally duplicated for six that are as old as 1890's. I have always been interested in my heritage, having been born and raised at my Gpa's house in N IL, USA.

    My Gpa is from Italy, as is my Gma, both now passed. I never really researched the information on the handwritten pages from my mother, only going over and over the awesome old photos. ONLY yesterday did it occurred to me that the name RIARDO (Italy) and DeNuccio and Zapetella all appeared in the hand writtten pages from my mother about her father and mother's life before coming to USA in 1898.

    KINDLY help me with as much factual information as possible as I just googled the town of Riardo Italy.

    DeNuccio is my greatgrandmother's maiden name. A second cousin of mine married a Zapetella. Riardo is the town in ITALY where one or both families originated before coming to USA. They married in Penn state USA and moved to northern Illinois had six children and the youngest being my mother. I was also born at the patriarch's home in N IL. My Italian American grandfather raised me from birth while my parents worked in and outside the home. My two older sisters already in grade school when I was born. I need more information about my family when they were in Riardo Italy.....thanks

  • Anyone on FLAG etiguette? I saw many flown incorrectly on July 4th?

    Now that the Fourth of July has come and gone for this year, I am, once again amazed to see how many flags were flown incorrectly. When I was in high school, an improperly flown flag or postage stamps stuck upside down were war protestors passive sign to the public that that person did not support our involvement in VietNam. I am always appalled to see the Blue Field (aka THE UNION) posted to the observers right. Flat on a wall, either horizontal or vertical the Blue Field always is posted to the obervers left. The same way that it goes up on the pole. IF displayed in a window the Blue Field is to the left of the observer on the street. Either we have many illiterates or there is, once again, a passive protest to the USA's involvement in something current. I went into a bar named COASTER'S on N. Main St in RACINE WI and got into a nonheated debate about the display of an enormous flag on the north outter wall of the building. The Blue Field is to the right of the observer on the street and the bartender stated that this is the correct way to fly the flag and even a verteran or two sided with him. I was continually called wrong and I will cite the site where the rules are detailed : www.usa-flag-site.org/etiquette-display.shtml

  • Why is the most protected ethnic group in USA so difficult to ask about?

    I have major problem. I have loved the native American culture and taken a great interest in it and even had a full Navajo attorney to represent me in 1996. I NEED HELP HERE.... My daughter is living with a very sick young man who uses his Cherokee heritage to gain great enormous sympathies. God knows that I love the native American culture, tho admittedly my Gma was terrified of them from Western movies she believed in. She passed three years before I was born but I heard one or two comments with the word "extreme" attached to it about her. NOW, this man my daughter is living with is very very emotionally and physically abusive. The superintendant of his high school he dropped from volunteered that this young man is very ill. He is on SSI for bi polar, but my daughter stated to me last week that he

    sells his meds when he fills Rx for this problem. He also has anger management issues and is in counseling for it. He tore the bedroom door off the frame from my daughters room at his mother's house.

    I spoke at great length with a local female law enforcement person who was in full agreement with my concerns knowing that the PD has responded to calls of DV at that address. WHEN the female law enforcement person found out his ethnic backround she back way off and wont return any of my calls, my daughter's concerns, wont return my emails and even vmail goes unanswered. She had agreed to help us. My daughter is made to feel RADICALLY guilty for wanting to leave him and even his mother gets in

    on it. She tried to leave him about 10 days ago and he demanded and paid for her return, holding her

    last paycheck from McDonalds employer as ransom. He takes all her income and his mother takes all her food stamps. He screams at her to get off the phone when she calls me after asking who she is talking to. He reads her email, her facebook, and he dissallowed her to have many friends. SOMEONE

    PLEASE HELP US BOTH, PLEASE. Her father is equally afraid of the "political hotbed" and a rather

    neglectful father I divorced years ago. HONESTLY, HELP US. By the way my own son, by my first ex, is one part over 256 parts Cherokee as well.

  • Who knows alot about name change for adults?

    When I was divorced I kept my ex's surname for the children's sake only. Now they are both grown and one is totally on his own and the other, about to enter college. I want a different surname and

    have for nearly a decade. IT gets complicated now and I know I should have done it way sooner as I

    am about to relocate 700 miles to another state from where I lived about 6.5 years. Do all states have residency rules and what are they and why are the statutes so hard for the PRO SE person to

    find? Do I have to publish intent for a few weeks and where if I am relocating in two months? I know that this site is an unusual place to ask but I cannot find the state statutes and all the legal form sites want 39 dollars or more for the forms that I could type myself. ON this topic, I find they make it very difficult, and why?

  • If Poland was named Prussia before 1947 what are ancestors from there called if they came to USA in 1890's?

    My sister insists on calling our paternal ancestry POLISH but they were in PRUSSIA until late 1890's before USA. How does one call their ancestry prior to a radical name and governmental change. It is NOW Slavic but was Baltic before the big change in 1947. Please include authorities for any points you make on the subject. All help will be appreciated.

  • Will my "contacts online" show a contact online if on a cell web browser?

    I can't check my own status from my laptop regarding my cell. Today my "contacts online" showed my daughter online when I knew that she wasnt UNLESS someone else was logged into her yahoo email account. At first I thought she was browsing from her cell, but not sure if that would show her online in the "contacts online" window. She wasnt on her desktop or my laptop either. She said Yahoo is sorta famous for not logging some people out on rare occassion. Very annoying, if not somewhat suspicious.

  • Does a tattoo make a Roman Catholic unable to be buried in a consecrated cemetery?

    Besides that possible misconception, why does my ex (Mormon) second husband insist that I am now excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church I still am a member of? I was married twice, once inside the church and the second time in front of a JP I thought was licensed but as it turns out his license expired ten years earlier, making it either a putative marriage or me a victim of a scam. Second ex spouse insists I am excomm. but a RC Vicar says that I am not. Comment on very tiny tattoo also
