Thats totally normal. The parental instinct is very strong in most people and I know I would die inside if anything ever happened to my children.

You need to see an eye doctor. They need to take a look at your eye structure to see whether this is something that can be repaired.

But don't wait. You don't want to end up seeing a doctor and having them go "Gee if you'd have come in sooner we could have fixed this".

Transitions are always tough. You know the routine at the old place, you know the people, and you generally know what is expected of you. You have to learn all those things over again at a new place.

I've found that the first 3 weeks really suck at a new job. But after about that time you get oriented, you start meeting people, you learn what you are supposed to be doing, and you get past that awkward part.

Sorry I missed the whole part where it was said you were his boss.

Are you? If you are, you should not be making light of his religion no matter what it is. That would be grounds for a big fat harassment lawsuit for "hostile workplace" and religious discrimination.

Here's another vote for negotiable. Once you gain some experience if you wanted to change jobs then you might have more of an idea what your salary demands are.

For now just go the negotiable route and see what they offer you.

Well technically all the assets you own get divided down the middle so your pension and the joint account are 1/2 his. It really doesn't matter what you both decided to do with your money beforehand. They'll usually take a snapshot of what it looks like at a certain point in time and use that as their guide to divide the assets.

If it's any consolation he's also responsible for 1/2 the debt. So while he is entitled to 1/2 your pension you can offset that by 1/2 of that home equity loan.

It really doesn't matter what he ends up using that money for. He does need a new place to live so if he chooses to spend his 1/2 of the assets furnishing his new place I guess I don't see that as outlandish as you do. I would just take a look at the balance on whatever you agree the division date is and give him 1/2. Then take your 1/2 and close that joint account. Problem solved. Now you don't have to care what he does with the money.

Corporate Finance involves work with the financial data of the corporation, decisions involving this, and the analysis that goes along with it. This may involve taxation, profit and loss, depreciation, financing, debt management, and so on.

Corporate Banking involves the relationship and financial transactions between a corporation and it's partner financial institutions (banks, investment companies, etc).

You cannot blame yourself. Unless your friend had told you there was something seriously wrong you could not have known. Even trained therapists and psychologists don't always catch the warning signs.

Ta Ree Saw has it right, just be there for him and show your support. Be his friend and let him know that you love and care about him. He needs the love of those around him to get some help and recover.

You gave those items as gifts with no strings attached. They aren't yours anymore, they are hers. The sentimental value may indeed count with her which is why she continues to wear those things. See it as a compliment that she liked your gifts and continues to like them.

I agree with the others, quit checking her myspace. It will only hurt you and you don't need the headaches.

While I understand your point of view and there is validity to some of what you say, I must comment that until you have been in the throes of a deep depression and felt suicidal yourself then you really can't understand what it is like.

I am not condoning suicide, don't get me wrong. I will do anything I can to try to talk a person out of it and try to get them on the path to healing. But I do understand when you get to that point that you are in so much pain that you really would do anything to make it stop.

I do not believe someone who is suicidal wants to die. What they want is for the pain to stop. If they felt there was another way to get rid of their pain and cope with what they are feeling they would do it. But they are at the point where they feel they have already tried everything, nothing works, and all they see is the pain continuing indefinitely for them. Their mind has refused to let them consider other alternatives and so they start that downward spiral.

Calling them cowards, taking the easy way out, etc does not help these people. Those words willl simply reinforce their belief that they are worthless already and nobody cares.

You have to give them a path to relieve their pain and then they will listen to you. Take them by the hand, guide them on the path out of that darkness they are in, and they will not kill themselves.

Sounds like he might be a little obsessive about this and needs a bit of work/life balance.

Try talking to your brother and just keep it non-threatening. Tell him you are worried about him and his health and that you just want him to be happy. See if he'll open up and tell you why he's so nervous about having so much money.

Pressuring him won't work so try some gentle understanding.

This post now locked due to flaming.

I suggest you send him a private message.

The police cant tell you a name but they can tell you if someone was killed during the time frame

Yes, they can tell you a name. How do you think reporters get their information? This is public information.

Fallout I also do not give out my MSN information for privacy reasons but please PM me anytime if you have information to discuss or can shed more light on the situation.

I too want to thank Avman for the excellent work he provides to this site.

You are very welcome. But the forum is run with the efforts of the entire moderating team so I would like to extend my thanks to them. This could not possibly be done by one person.

Once again, I'm not drawing any conclusions about what has truly happened. Many possible explanations listed here may indeed be the case.

All I am telling you is that it didn't happen the way it has been reported. And that there has been an attempt at deception. I don't have details or the rationale of why. And we're not really going to try to figure that part out.

This isn't something we've taken lightly. Many of us have put in a lot of extra effort validating, tracing, calling, and verifying things. And this is where we are at.

People will draw their own conclusions. And if you have more direct evidence we should consider please let us know. But at this point we have been through everything reasonable and the story is not holding up.

I understand Fallout. Search deep within your thoughts and put all the pieces together. Put the facts in order as you feel they have been described to you.

If you look hard enough, you'll find the inconsistencies and likely uncover the truth on your own too.

Start with the time of the supposed death, and how quickly it was communicated.

Ok...avman tell me please what is so suspicious about the manner I reported it ?

I did not say it was you.

I am very confused then

is it a hoax or isnt it????

Yes, it is.

Flaming each other will not be tolerated so stop it.

We are not accusing anyone of anything. We are merely reporting the results of our investigation and there is no evidence to show that there was any sort of death of a young person in the manner described in the location it should have been.

The method the death was reported to us is suspicious.

The behavior of certain individuals in the reporting process is more than suspicious.

Not to mention we've seen people try this before and the patterns are very similar with this report.

So we checked it out. Those who were shocked and upset by the original information have the right to know that there is more to the story.

Wow.

 

I'm curious as to how you investigated/found out that it was a hoax. Can you tell us?

We have contacts at various organizations (police, publishers, etc) that help us do legwork from time to time.

Dear members,

A couple of weeks ago there was a rash of postings concerning a particular member celticghirl. The posts indicated she had been killed in some sort of accident.

Due to some inconsistencies in the story, we decided to investigate these reports and determine whether indeed this was a true event.

At this time we have concluded our investigation.

Upon contacting our sources and reviewing our information, we have determined that this appears to be a hoax and there is no evidence or any other reason to believe that this death has occurred.

Our apologies for the length of time that has passed but we did want to make sure we were thorough in checking our sources.

That is a very good article Rose.

Our doctor told us that she was more concerned about the health risks of an unplanned pregnancy than any risk of birth control.

With each of our babies we practically had an army of doctors monitoring the pregnancy throughout the term and they started high risk care immediately upon conception.
