I've moved this question to the Entertainment reference desk, where it is more appropriate. -- Richardrj talk email 07:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
My life stinks and I'm sick and tired of working. And I have asthma. Is there a country in the world where, if I so choose, will financially support me for life? I hear some European countries come pretty close, but ya gotta be a long term citizen there, I'll bet.-- Dr. Carefree ( talk) 01:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Come to Great Britain,have at least 2 kids,and stay on Unemployment for the rest of your life here like so many people have already done.The system will pay for everything! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.86.15.15 ( talk) 14:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
After contemplating the matter, I started to feel like a real heel considering moving to another country to take advantage of thier system. Why do that when there are plenty of opportunities here? I've paid taxes my whole life, so is there a way I can take advantage of this system? Yes, I'm talking about the good ol' US of A! I saw a commercial a while back for a book that claims the government will pay for just about everything. It was hosted by a guy who looked a little like Emo Philips, so maybe you've seen it. Is this true? Will Uncle Sam give me unlimited cash and services? I've paid my taxes for many years, so I see no moral problem here. It's getting me excited thinking about it! Dr. Carefree ( talk) 03:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
My name is Llano Gorman,
The definition of the term "Cane" is a bit out dated .. very out dated .. try to find a bamboo cane now .. most are made from aluminum or wood. .. this is what it states in wikipedia at this time ..
"A cane is a long, straight wooden stick, generally of bamboo, Malacca (rattan) or some similar plant, mainly used as a support, such as a walking stick, or as an instrument of punishment. Depending on the use, it is left in its natural state or improved (e.g., smoothened, varnished)."
I am proposing a total re-do . Can I do this with out getting into trouble?
It now should Read :
A cane is long and generally straight mainly used as a support. There are five general uses of canes: 1)Medical Cane / Daily use cane 2)Blind Cane 3)Recreational Cane 4)Collectible Cane 5)Travel Canes.
1)Medical Cane: Is used for weight bearing, or balance issues. This cane must be measured for the individual. 2)Blind Cane: The white cane is the international symbol for vision loss generally, including low vision. "This helps the community know that these individuals have trouble seeing and in turn the "White Cane" helps those with vision impairment interpret their surroundings. 3)Recreational Cane: Fun Cane, or going out cane. Something that is not necessarily for weight bearing, decorative, the main difference .. does not need to be measured for the individual using it. 4)Collectible canes are canes from all varieties such as: Antique Canes, Sword Canes "Which now since 911, are not legal in most states and provinces through out North America, however they can be collected." Daily use and even recreational canes are collectible. Main difference, there is none because collectible means just that, it is the eye of the beholder that makes the type of cane collectible. 5)Travel Canes: Canes that can be folded. Fold-able canes are generally used for the airplane traveler. "Must not be used as a Daily use Cane or Medical Cane for long periods of time"
A cane has 3 components: Handle, Shaft and Ferrule or (bottom)
I really do not want to hurt anyone .. Its just really out of date .. Many people did not know there are so many different types .. what are your thoughts? I also have many other pages of information about canes ..

In the film and book shoah concerning the holocaust, what was the name of the boy who rowed a boat down the river every day, and was spared due to his lovely singing voice. he was made to sing for the nazi ss guards. Also, what was the name of the man, who was interviewed, or the men that accompanied him after his liberation from a camp, they went around finding ex camp guards and taking turns at strangleing them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.115.175.247 ( talk) 11:42, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

If a client use a prostitute (sexually) and a prostitute use a client (taking his money), does it makes it fair? One thing would balance the other? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.55.243.23 ( talk) 12:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Of course it is fair. If a price is agreed and a service rendered then the contract is complete. Only if one side cheats would it be "unfair'. 86.209.155.92 ( talk) 12:28, 21 July 2008 (UTC)DT

One of the above questions prompted me to ask, I am planning on starting a new job part time as a straight male escort. so 1, is it illegal, and if so why, 2, what should i watch out for, 3, any other advice that i should take to heart, and 4 why are there so many questions about prostitution on this page, I see one every two weeks or so. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.115.175.247 ( talk) 15:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Principally don't pay any fees to any internet site promising a job as male escort. That is a known scam. Mr.K. (talk) 11:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

My sister died recenty and had told me many times about typing something for Pres. Eisnehower to sign regarding charter of People to People. She worked for USIA in this time span, no one has been able to verify this . The following note was found in her papers after she died Quote" As secretary to two Congressional Liaison Officers, I relieved my superiors of difficult and responsible office details in the execution of their daily responsibilities. I took and transcribed highly confidential dictation. I often worked overtime in the Budget Office, compiling and typing the budget for direct presentation to Congress. Extreme accuracy was required as corrections and adjustments had to be made on short notice for Congress. Also typed letters for signature of the President of the United States of America on the "People-to-People" program."
This is something she typed in a resumé on November 23, 1983 I contacted Nation PersonaRecords/Civilian Personnel, they referred me to Stae Dept. they referred me to Eisenhower Library/Archives which is where I started originally, no record there. Nat'l Records & Archives Adm. sent record of her employment with Gov. from 1950 to mid 1976 inclcuding work in France and a Commendation for her work but no one can tell me that she did what I mentioned in quote above. Am at my wits end, 84 years old and I wanted proof of this for my grandchildren before I die. USIA tells me she could have been on loan to White House or temp. duty and they would have no record, you would think there would be a record if she was gone from them temporarily. Was told all records over 25 years oldong but I don't know how to shorten without leaving out important details. I sent death certificate,DOB, Social Security # etc but still no luck —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.75.38.31 ( talk) 18:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
what is the definition of a countline bar? 99.245.92.47 ( talk) 20:01, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Originally a Countline was a piece of confectionery not sold by weight. There were a set number of pieces in every retailer's pack. Hence the pieces were counted. Individuals bought so many for a price. i.e. 5 pieces for sixpence. Today the term has widened to include small chocolate (and etc.) bars even though they are sold individually.

Hi, I've tried for a while but to no avail. Perhaps someone with better googling skills than me would be kind enough to help. I'm looking for the daily temperatures (high/low) of Durban from June 1 2008 to today if possible. All I've managed to find thus far are useless stats and lots of forecasts. Thanks and please don't ask why, it's complicated... Sandman30s ( talk) 20:27, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
