you're probably going to lose the case. you did give permission and you're now bound by it, especially if the person complaining did not know that your signature was added by someone else. it isn't forgery, btw, if they had permission.

3 days -- that's the 72 hours.

no such motive would be required. any ordinary middle class folk might do the same in an effort to disguise the circumstances of their teen age daughter's giving birth. Imagine -- it's 1961. sure Hawaii is a tolerant, multi-cultural place, but really!!?? the father isn't a local but from...

illegal immigrants grew up in countries without welfare offices. They're simply doing what they've always done -- look for work from business people and the well to do by hanging on street corners and at the suppliers of materials.

i suppose if she was 15 at the time, it's [grudgingly] allowable. adults, however, should avoid sexing with children -- the disparity in maturity shows moral turpitude.

both states will tax you. Businesses in Florida are taxable no matter what the form of organization. If you live here in Florida and do business from here -- state business taxes and sales tax to FL consumers both apply, even if the business is done over the Internet and/or to foreign...

have you ever heard of Process Communication Method? how about Neuro-Linguistic Programming? Facial Action Coding? no?? in part, you're a product of your environment -- your environment doesn't include these psych methods, so you didn't know they exist, and you can't start learning them, so...

it is the equivalent of commission sales. if W&R didn't tell you that up front -- run. and it will be more than 40 hours a week. after you get your sales pitch down, you'll start by making phone calls to people you don't know. 40 or 50 of them a day. That's to find one who says he or she...

annualized default rates on credit cards are high and rising. for those who carry balances near their limits, I've been told that default rates are now over 10% per year. so the banks need to cut exposure to high balances -- this is one way of doing it. [also, credit reforms required them to...

"free" does not exist in Universe. Everything has an energy cost and the cost must be paid by someone/something. What you are really talking about is government paid health care. Is it possible? yes. Is it desirable? highly questionable, if not highly doubtful. *** Among the many...
