If I am making installments on debts that are already in collection, does that help my credit score any?

No, once accounts go to collections the damage has been done and paying them doe's nothing for your score unless you get a pay for delete agreement where in return for your payment they agree to remove the account from your report.

How does The Crucible connect with what it means to be an American?

I consider suicide every day. I don't know what to do.?

I don't have a life. No, seriously. My parents wanted some sort of genius child so they put me in an accelerated school and I graduated high school at 13. Now I'm almost 15 and in my second year of college, and I'm just so sad and apathetic about everything. I have no social skills whatsoever, hence no friends, and I only get out of the house to be driven by one of my parents to university and back. I'm sort of a pre-law student and need to do extra-curricular activities but everything that's available I'm too young to apply for. I have a 4.0 but I'm scared to death of getting an A- because my parents will treat me like sh*t for it. I worry about everything and hate myself so much. Was I born to be lonely and unhappy? I feel like natural selection picked me as a prime example of the asocial mutant. I'm so bored, sick and tired of my life. It's really just a case of overwhelming apathy and disgust with life. I don't even want to be a lawyer or anything "successful" as deemed by society. I'd like to drop out and work at some underpaid job in a coffee shop in Seattle and live in a small apartment filled with library books, cats and unpublished mcripts. Problem is I'm only 14 and my parents are going to send me to some expensive law school as soon as or before I turn 18. I'm trapped. I don't want this life. I don't want any of it.

My wife doesn't love me. Is it a phase?

Going to counseling together is a good first step. Perhaps the marriage could be salvaged. It does sound to me, however, that the two of you have grown apart and it is going to take a lot of work to try to put it all back together again. Please try to prepare yourself--it seems like she has already started to move on and the counseling might not work.

Had a Pelvic Ultrasound done. Can someone tell me what this means?

There are bilateral ovarian follicles and a left ovarian density of approx. 1.5cm that is nearly the isoechoic to ovary that is probably a hemorrhagic follicle. There is no free fluid in the cul-de-sac.

Question about catholicism?

was having a talk with a friend the other day about the catholic church; am I the only thinking individual who happens to believe that the church's coordinated coverup of ual abuse over time was completely abhorrent? What about the fact that they used s as scapegoats for the crisis, tracing the roots of pedophilia to uality, a claim for which there is zero evidence--not only no credible evidence, but no evidence whatsoever. Am I the only one who thinks that the same men who condemn abortion, extol the sanctity of life and preach with a condescending sense of self-riteousness are the ones who have lost most of their credibility??

1998 jeep grand cherokee vs 97 Honda Accord?

Jeep for two reasons. One it is better in the snow and will last longer if its the 6 cylinder and two its American made. Everyone really needs to start pushing buying American made only things and especially cars new or used. Also the mpg wont be that much worse on the jeep and its so much safer.
