» The heat was turned off how can she get it back on?

i have a friend who couldnot afford to pay her heat bill so they shut her off is there a way to get it turned on while she pays the bill down Tell your deadbeat friend to pay her bill and it will get turned back on. Anything else you do will be illegal.She can talk to a consumer adviser at the gas or electric company where they shut the power off.Usually the bill has to be paid in full and a deposit will be required for service to be reconnected.However they may be able to get her into an energy share plan.Paying the bill is the only way. the utility company probably has it locked.Many citys have a moratorium in effect for this in the winter.

» Walkaround lens - help me choose!

Here's my outfit: Canon 30D Sigma 10-20mm Sigma 17-35mm Canon 50mm 1.8 Sigma 70-200 2.8 Sigma 1.4x TC As you see, I pretty much got wide and zoom sides covered. But the "walkaround" range has some gaps. 17-35 sometimes just doesn't have enough reach. 50 is a good prime, but no zoom/flexibility. What should I do? Tamron 24-70 gets pretty good reviews. How about Sigma 17-85?? Canon 24-105L or the new Canon 17-55 2.8IS are expensive options. Any thoughts? What's your favorite walkaround lens? Thanks.How about the 17-85mm IS lens they package with the 30D now, but you could buy it seperately.I would also suggest the EF-S 17-85 IS. It's decently wide enough at 17mm, has a fair reach at 85mm...and of course has IS, which should co...... - 2009-07-04

» How do I tell my new coworkers that I am pregnant?

I have already told my new boss that I am pregnant, and he handled it well. I am 5 months pregnant and I really would like to start wearing my new maternity clothes to work, but I want to inform my new co-workers of my situation, so they don't feel awkward asking me if I am indeed pregnant. I also don't want to just leave them to figure it out. I really am showing, but I am just wearing bigger clothes, they must just think I am heavy-set. How do I tell them after waiting this long to say anything?Wear your maternity clothes (especially things that tie behind the back) and start making comments about your pregnancy. People will then say, "oh, I didn't know you were pregnant" and you can laugh and tell them all about it. Al...... - 2009-07-04

» Atheists, okay I can understand that you don't like it when people use God and religion to explain things?

You consider it as lying. Still what about people who lie using science? Like a doctor that says something that is not medically or scientifically possible in order to comfort a family member. For example: Telling a family member that their dying relative is squeezing their hands, when it is only a response. Or telling them "Talk to them (in their last few minutes of life), they can hear you". When this is not true. What is worst comfort using God and religion? Or a lying about science and facts in order to comfort someone?Well, if their atheist, then lie on the science. If their not, tell them god will take you to a better place.

Hi, I recently bought a semi-accoustic Epiphone guitar for christmas. It was cheap (~€250) yet i prefered the feel of it to other, more expensive models. The thing is, at the moment, I can only play it at the weekends. If I tune it one weekend - when I come back to it a week later, all the strings have slipped out if tune (by one semi-tone). Is this usual? Would it be worse if I was playing every day? I'd like to know if it's just a faulty guitar, so i could bring it back to the shop.

Yup, that's bisexuality.

Often that means the individuals you fall in love with will also be of that gender, but not necessarily. You can fall in love with someone without sexual attraction just as easily as you can be attracted to someone you will never love.yes it is called being Bisexual.

» Is the term "Spaniard" pejorative?

I am from Spain and I used to have and English teacher who was Irish and he once told us that the term "Spaniard" was used to refer to people from Spain but in a pejorative sense, and that the politically correct term was "Spanish people or Spanish man/woman". Is it true? I was wondering about it because I have confirmed that Americans used the word Spaniard simply to talk about people from Spain in a neutral way, to differentiate us from Hispanics from Latin America. But do is the word "Spaniard" pejorative in Ireland or in Britain or not? Maybe my teacher was in a mistake. I don't know.In English English "spaniard" is not perjorative or insulting but slightly oldfashioned - Spanish man/ woman is the usual wordin american usa...... - 2009-07-04
