The hatred which divides nation from nation, race from race, class from class. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Father Forgive. (Words from the litany of the Chapel of Unity, built by the people of all five continents on the site of the old Coventry Cathedral, bombed in WW2.)

Go and do your homework. Biology might come in useful, when you've grown up.

If your life partner is NOT your best friend too, it won't last a lifetime. If you mean you are not quite that serious yet, think hard about what it might mean to lose a friend if friendship is all he or she wants.

Hi Unhappy Sprocket's language isn't good but the sentiments are. You are responsible for 6 children... 6 youngsters this man is mistreating. I suspect you mean the sex is good. Whatever, stop being selfish. If the place where you live is yours, change the locks. If it isn't, take your children and walk away with what you can carry. They are more precious than possessions. If you have nowhere else to go, try a church... any church, whether you are a believer or not. There IS help out there. For the sake of your children, and you own sake, go out and find it.

It will BE tomorrow in the UK in just under an hour. If we all vanish without saying good night, duck :-)

I shall have to add another answer... once again some of the comment boxes aren't working. This is interesting so hopefully Volcane will come back for another look. I got a comment from him about the remark I made about Colleen. I copied my comment so I will paste it next. akaQA put out an "question" that she was back and a lot of people were pleased. Gradually they realised it wasn't true. I checked her karma and her high score had vanished. I clicked on a question of mine she answered a while ago and it said karma 60. I think that was worse than just letting her go, if that's what she wanted. I don't know if it was or not, and it's none of my business, but it did strike me as dishonest, assuming it is impossible for a member to do something like that as a "joke". Is it? The other comment is on something Volcane said too, suggesting fia calmed down. I just wanted to say I agree with him. When I first read what she said I thought she'd done a good job of gathering opinions together. A lot of information has been added since, like how Google insert the adverts most appropriate to the question. I didn't know that, but I didn't go on about it either. Maybe if fia did calm down he or she would not only stop to think but type answers that are easier to read. Sorry Fia, if you see this, I won't unvote you, but I will think longer myself before I vote you up again. I don't know when you joined but I didn't see you around until recently, which means I've been using the site longer and I am very aware there is a lot I don't know about how it works. ninnet, this is another answer for you in a way. You asked for ideas about changing akaQA and I think it really has come out that the lack of information needs to be addressed, but not by ranting about it. I have no idea if there is anything we can do to influence Admin but perhaps members of longer standing have ideas?

leeroy has just said there used to be bonus karma points if you got 200 views of a question. How many leeroy? I was just thinking ninnet would have been rewarded well for the interest this question has caused, and why not? Surely that's the point, as well as being here to help with problems. On-going debates are interesting, though it's a shame the subject of this one is likely to be unproductive.

Click on the mark that opens everything but the internet... probably bottom left. Go the Accesseries... then system tools... if that doesn't lead you to sound control one of the other headings listed will. It is even worth checking the icons bottome left. One might lead you straight to the sound control. Explore... and when you find it move the arrow from mute to the volume you want and click OK Good luck... it is there somewhere... no luck... do come back with the model etc. Someone is sure to have one exactly the same, and don't forget to say which version of Windows you are using.

Sorry Donna Anyone in pain from any "legal" cause would have already have visited a doctor, or investigated alternative treatments. Cold turkey... and learn from your stupidity before it kills you.

And try a torch, even if it's daylight. The glimmer of stones might catch the light if it rolled into a corner.
