Any suggestions on what i should change, oh yeah and try to keep the price low

Hi,
I had some light implantation draining on Aug 6-10th, a little bit of light spotting one time each on three different days since. I was dizzy a lot yesterday (Tuesday). And last night, I suddenly had a muscle spasmish painful cramp on the lower right side of my stomach. I woke up at 3 am and it was still hurting. At 8:30 it was gone, but when I got in the shower it came back. It has been going on off and on all day. Not too extreme, just strange feeling and hard to ignore. I called my doctor and she said that it is too early for an ultrasound to check since the first day of my last period was only 4 weeks ago. So, she wanted to do some bloodwork to compare HCG levels to progesterone levels. I guess if the progesterone levels are lower, then they would have evidence for an ectopic pregnancy. However, I feel like unless I am in the process of dying, I would want to wait for an ultrasound confirmation on that before having any kind of surgery (I REALLY want this baby to be born). And our insurance is TERRIBLE, so I don’t really want to do the bloodwork unless it is really life or death, because I will basically be paying for it all out of pocket (around $ 200, I think). My husband says that he thinks I should at least wait a couple of days to see if the cramp actually is getting worse or if it was just a fluke and will go away on its own. Has anyone else had a similar scare? Or been through an ectopic pregnancy?

PS. I went to the emergency room once for a really stiff neck that hadn’t gone away for a week, thinking I might have meningitis. The doctor sent me home saying I must have just slept on it wrong and it went away completely the next day! That was so embarrassing and it cost us hundreds of dollars. I just don’t want to go through that again if I can aviod it.

I had signed a year lease starting Aug 31st (Monday). On Sept 1st (Tuesday) I had moved in half of my stuff then ran to get the rest. While I was gone for 3hrs, someone pennyless into the house and stole over $ 1500 worth of my stuff. I called the cops and filed a report. They told me to call the landlord and they had him fix the door so it would shut again. Few screws to hold the wood in place and he was done. (Nothing like feeling safe huh!)
Well I decided it was way too unsafe for a single, white female to live there by myself so called the landlord the next morning (Wednesday Sept. 2nd) and told him I couldnt stay. He wasnt thrilled but agreed to letting me out of the lease. Said he wasnt in town but could meet up that night to trade my rent back for the house key and have me sign a release form to let me out of the lease. He never called back that night. The following morning (Thursday Sept. 3rd) I called him and he said he wasnt giving me my money back until he talked to his attorney but still needed his key. So I went ahead and gave the key back. I also gave him a fax number and my address so he could send a release form for me to sign. He said his attorney was on vacation and wouldnt talk to him til Tuesday, Sept 8th and would call me back.
So Tuesday came and I didnt hear from him. I called him every day, sometimes twice a day for almost a week, leaving messages on his voicemail. Still no returned calls. Finally got him to call back Tues. Sept 15th after threatening to get my attorney involved. He told me he called his attorney the day before (Mon Sept 14th) and was supposed to hear from him that day (Tues Sept15th). He would call me back as soon as he heard from him.
Well it is now Monday Sept. 21st and Ive yet to hear from the landlord. Hes had the key for almost 3wks and I have received nothing through mail, fax, or even a phone call about the release form I need to sign nor when Id be getting my money back.
Now I know if you sign a lease and fullfil it and the landlord doesnt return your deposit within thirty days without sending you a notice of why theyre keeping it, you can go to court and get it back plus maybe double your deposit. In my case what can I do? I had a verbal agreement that he’d return my money but still nothing. Ive made NUMEROUS calls and can get proof from my cell company along with the ONE time he called me back. Im still technically in a lease for 1 year since I havent signed a release form BUT do not have a key to the house.
Should I just wait til thirty days go by and get my attorney involved? The attorney wont cost me a dime since Im “living” with my parents til I find a new place and theyre insurance covers all attorney fees. Dont ask me how, my mom just told me it wont cost a dime to go after him lol. So yeah, any and all input would be awesome! Thanks!
Yes Im a female, for all of you who ask about the avatar. Just have short hair and this looks most like me. Dont be a hater! Lol
Dont know if this helps but the landlord lives in New York. He had been staying in his RV down the road. He left Sept. 5th to go back to New York. Since then I cant find any attemps of his to rent the place out again. I found it on Craigslist and nothings been posted there. Checked our main paper here in Columbus along with numerous smaller rental papers/books. Theres not even a “For Rent” sign in the house….

I have a very old roof, I did not ask the owner how old, but I think it was on the roof when the building was built in 1980 or 1982. Well, we had some strong winds this year and lost a lot of cedar shingles and some minor damage to siding. Painting is also the rain and wind geschält.Allerdings examined my insurance and said that because my roof was old, they replace or repair my roof, because it was normal wear and tear, but I think the roof was damaged by strong winds, even if it is old. We took the case because they do not leak, but just a lot of missing someone Gürtelrose.Kann advise if the owner should be responsible because they may be 2 years or 2 1 / 2 years, assures us. Why did they make sure, if they know they do not damage our old roof. So I think my roof is the main structure of the house, because it protects all for what is the point of having owners insure

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’

Sonny Bunch

Michael Moore’s new film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” chronicles the galling excesses of our modern economy in brutal detail, jumping from home foreclosures to businesses cashing in on life insurance policies they had taken out on their dead employees to bank bailouts to million-dollar-bonuses paid out to executives of failed banks. As he comes to a crashing, triumphant crescendo, the merry prankster of modern moviemaking says he wants to get rid of capitalism and replace it with a better, fairer, more just system — democracy!

Democracy?

It’s a head scratcher. One doesn’t replace an economic system with a political system. Saying you want to replace “capitalism” with “democracy” is like saying you want to replace “public transit” with “puppy dogs.” It’s not quite right.

It’s obvious why he chose such a malapropism: “Socialism” is what Mr. Moore is really after, but that’s a far more disturbing word to the average American. He wants to replace one sacred-yet-secular American word (capitalism) with another sacred-yet-secular American word (democracy), fully obscuring that neither word means anything close to its dictionary definition in Mr. Moore’s worldview.

To Mr. Moore, capitalism isn’t an economic system that has delivered billions around the globe from poverty and subsistence existences by virtue of the profit motive.

No, to him, capitalism is an exploitative sham, an economic system designed to deliver money from the poor into the hands of the wealthy. If he had stuck to the recent bailouts of the banking industry, he might have had a point. Unfortunately, he spends much of the movie flying far afield of that travesty.

And that’s the main problem with Mr. Moore’s movie: His focus is too diffuse, his aim too scattershot. It’s old hat for the director to argue only one side of the story, but this is the first time he has so blatantly failed to focus on the primary issue at hand, flailing, instead, at all the wrong targets.

Consider Mr. Moore’s take on the foreclosure crisis: He sympathetically portrays two families who have gone through foreclosed after failing to meet their repayment obligations. Foreclosure is a terrible thing, something no family should have to suffer — unless, of course, they fail to repay the money that has been lent to them.

Credit is a bedrock of capitalism, but credit comes with sure responsibilities. Banks are not charitable institutions, and there have to be consequences for failing to pay back the money they advance. The subprime loan crisis was caused only in part by banks lending money to unqualified borrowers: No less complicit were the irresponsible citizens who took out far more money than they could afford on terms they could not possibly understand.

In a way, Mr. Moore and his ilk are the ones ultimately responsible for this crisis. By turning homeownership into a basic societal entitlement — irrespective of credit-worthiness — they encouraged the poor to steal recklessly and leaned on lenders to give money even more recklessly.

Mr. Moore’s suggested solutions to the crisis of capitalism are almost as ludicrous as his diagnoses. As the film draws to a close, he asks us to reconsider Franklin D. Roosevelt’s second bill of rights, and one of those rights in particular jumps out: the guarantee of a job with a “living wage.”

This has been a constant bugaboo of Mr. Moore’s. He thinks General Motors Corp. — faced with competition from cheaper, better, more fuel-efficient vehicles from Japan and elsewhere — has shot itself in the foot. Not because it refused to build better cars or agreed to a back-breaking deal with the labor unions that made the cars too expensive, mind you. No, Mr. Moore seems to think GM has come to ruin because it has laid off too many employees, leaving the once thriving cities of the Midwest, including his hometown, Flint, Mich., wastelands with no business prospects.

Let us think about this for a moment, shall we?

GM automobiles are too expensive and too fuel-inefficient. They carry massive legacy costs providing health care benefits and pensions to both current and past employees of now-defunct plants. Increased plant efficiency and decreased need for labor are trumped by union demands to preserve jobs, resulting in excess workers collecting most of their pay for what amounts to make-work.

Yet GM should guarantee these people’s jobs and gold-plated benefits? Or the government should step in and subsidize inefficient companies to pay now-redundant employees?

Mr. Moore has always been long on provocative questions and short on answers. “Capitalism” is no different: He suggests a splendid and shiny future without adequately examining the likely consequences of such a future or offering much in the way of proposals for bringing it to life — other than sophomoric pranks like showing up at a bank headquarters to
