Who was at fault?
Did anyone get hurt?
Anyone have any crazy stories?
We (my SO's cousin was driving) rearended a lady last night that stopped in the middle of the freeway in an effort to cut into traffic merging onto another freeway. She kept driving! We had to follow her for another 2 miles before we were able to get her to pull over, where she began screaming at Cousin while we were waiting for the cops. Then she drove off!! We had to chase her and call the cops back to give them our new location. Luckily she drove into a cul-de-sac and we were able to block her in when she tried to drive away again. And all I wanted was to go home after a long day...

And...for the people with dogs...
I've had my pup for almost a month and he's still not house broken. We're doing the crate training thing, but eh.... He knows he's supposed to go outside after he gets out..but he doesn't seem to understand that he needs to go outside the rest of the time. I can catch him and get him outside if he starts to poo on the carpet..but I'm not quite quick enough when he starts to pee.
Any tips? I'm about ready to go insane.

Option 1:
I got an internship for the summer. It's not one of those "lucrative" internships that pay their interns a ridiculous amount of money. In fact, the internship is unpaid. It's just something that seems like fun and relevant to what I think I'd like to pursue as a career. But knowing me, I change my mind all the time and in a few months, I could decide that I want to pursue something else entirely. I think the internship would be fun, and I'd get to live with one of my best friends in New York City. I'm also a junior, so this would be my last summer before I graduate.
Option 2:
I can take a few classes at my college, which is supposed to be gorgeous in the summertime. My boyfriend will also be there, which is a huge incentive. It would be a relaxing summer in quiet Upstate New York.
Help me weight out my options. What should i do? What would you do?

Obvious post inspiration is obvious
A fan likes the books and collects info about them and makes a website with an encyclopedia of sorts. The site is free and the fan makes no profit and the author doesn't mind.
Book series finishes, author plans on writing a follow-up encyclopedia with info about the books and what happens to the characters afterwards.
Fan wants to publish his website into a book. Author tells him no, because she is publishing her own.
Fan goes ahead and tries it anyway, author gets mad and takes him to court.
Do you think author is well within her rights to refuse the fan's publication? Do you think the fan has every right to publish whatever he wants?
Basically, whose side are you on in this situation? Why?

For example(s), when I was in 8th grade, I read the entire Redwall series to comfort me during anxiety attacks that caused me to stay home from school for weeks. Now that I'm older, I re-read the series to give me comfort when I'm dealing with a rough time.
I'm also just about to re-play Jak 2 and Jak 3 on the PS2. When I first started being home-schooled in high school, these were the two games that I obsessed over and spent so much time playing to take my mind off everything. Just the thought of playing them is giving me a comfort I can't explain.

Nevermind. Figured it out.
What's a good Wii multiplayer game? We've had a Wii for a few months now and the only game we have is still Wii Sports. We tried Galaxy, but it made me and my mother nauseous. Same with Twilight Princess. We liked Mario Party 8. Hated Cooking Mama. I feel bad because we I whined so much for a Wii and now we hardly use it. =(

The drugs, the iud and the insertion are both listed under "billed to patient" and "billed to insurance"-- I assume my insurance didn't cover it all, that's understandable. The drugs actually show a balance of zero under billed to patient, so whatever. Adding up insertion costs comes to about what I'm finding online as an average cost for insertion. But, adding up (IUD billed to patient) and (IUD billed to insurance) totals over $800 and my information says the iud itself is from 300-400 dollars.
Is there a way to dispute this? I'm pretty sure there is when you're working with medicare or what have you but here I don't know. I have blue cross/blue shield, if that helps.
Alternately, how might I come up with nearly $500 in 2 weeks ish? >.< Anyone know someone in the market for a kidney?
EDIT~ I managed to call them today, and my insurance did not cover the iud or the insertion (SO i imagine what the bill is showing is that the insurance paid its "we don't cover this we're just helping you out" portion) BUT that's moot because they did, in fact, file the wrong paperwork and it is supposed to be free and my balance is now $00.00. Thank god.

In Bad Boys 2 our two heroes are preparing to break into someone's house and rescue a hostage. In order to do so they want the house owner to think that his security systems is crazy. They hope he will turn it off and they can sneak in undetected. The plan is to use cats and iguanas (?) and either the cats of the iguanas or both get thrown over the fence to cause the appropriate troubles. And that's the question that is causing the argument: Who gets thrown over the fence? The cats? The iguanas? Both? Any fans of the movie here who can answer that?

Ok, what was the name of the guy from the 1800's (or 1900's?). He worked in a hospital I think, for delivering babies. The hospital had a high death toll and many women died because the doctors who were delivering the babies did not wash their hands. So this guy told them to wash their hands and the death toll fell a lot.
