"Frustrated with a friendship and stressed out during junior year, I vented my emotions by posting angry comments about a student on my Facebook wall. No inappropriate interactions, conflicts, or threats ever took place, but as a precaution, a dean prohibited further contact with the student (NOT considered as an institutional action). Also, to help me manage my stress and express my emotions healthfully, the dean referred me to counseling and required me to maintain a therapeutic relationship with a clinician. Initially, I didn’t take full advantage of this invaluable service, and my wellbeing didn’t improve much. At the end of junior year, I slept through a counseling appointment and didn’t reschedule immediately. Consequently, I was found responsible for “failure to comply”. I received a disciplinary/institutional formal warning and the directive to continue counseling.

I took full responsibilities and began to interact more proactively with my clinician. As a result, I learned how to effectively manage my stress and greatly improved my emotional health. I also realized that while it is legal to say certain things on Facebook, some statements will invariably cause concern and trigger a response. From this experience, I became a more mature, sensitive, and amiable person."

this had nothing to do with cheating, drugs/alcohol, or violent/assault. i know this isn’t a death sentence, but will it have a major impact? thanks again

There are no guarantees, but this situation does not sound serious enough to prevent admission.

Actually I do understand what you are going through and have a suggestion, but I got to tell you that; when I’ve witnessed this type of activity from sons or daughter towards a parent, there’s usually more going on than meets the eye. My wife who was widowed took extreme abuse in the form of disrespect from her sons (still does today on a small scale) when we married, and I was dumbfounded by the disrespect which came in the form of; obsessive complaining about her in less than flattering terms, total lack of respect and hurtful accusation. Even though I married her a full two years after she had been widowed, it didn’t seem to make a difference to the boys.

What I saw on a regular basis was; her making excuses for her behavior, start yelling back and eventually crying of heartbreak that she had been treated in such a fashion by her off spring. As in most things I do in life; I think and then respond, which is what I told her with one caveat. Don’t fight back in a normal manner with adult children, rather, go back to basics! When one of the kids is being rude, realize it! And then act appropriately (no you can’t send them to their room), without being adversarial. My suggestion to was to learn how to quickly identify when one of these situations was occurring and nip it in the bud with one simple sentence: Don’t speak to me in anger or like I am a child! If you want to have an adult conversation we can continue, otherwise I’ll have to hang up or ask you to leave!

No if and’s or but’s, if you are being disrespected challenge the premise immediately. Know this; arguing back or telling an adult they are wrong tends to light the fire, but correcting someone displaying bad behavior is the right thing to do. Got to tell you though, my wife had the hardest time being able to tell when the disrespect was going to happen, seemed like the boys always knew when to strike!

I do wish you the best of luck and do not have a good answer for their lack of concern about your physical condition other than to say; there may be more to this story than you could possibly write in Y/A

Especially in adolescents and young adults, the disease is characterized by fever, sore throat and fatigue, along with several other possible signs and symptoms. It is primarily diagnosed by observation of symptoms, but suspicion can be confirmed by several diagnostic tests.

Cheating: I would think so!

In 2005 – the only other contact she’s had with this collection agency – they had contacted her, at her *current* cell phone number. She talked with her parents, they talked with their insurance company, etc, and at least she and her parents thought that the matter was closed.

Fast foward to last month. She again gets contacted by this agency, after over five years of silence. The relatively minimal initial charge ($255) had grown to a number around $450 by their count, thanks to interest. In speaking with her, they find out that she’s in a different state now and decided to re-adjust the interest rate to some sort of higher interest rate, supposedly applicable to our current state and retro-actively all the way back to 2001. Their new bill? $580.

I spoke with them on the phone yesterday for the first time, and they told me that "it is always the responsibility of the patient to pay these debts." Meaning they say they are completely in the right to charge this interest. Keep in mind that the only "evidence" of initial ($255) debt that they have is a single page, fax-looking thing from the medical group back in 2001 that very non-descriptly lists the charges, totalling that amount. On top of that – making the deal even shadier – they offered to settle this whole thing "for $500 even."

From all searching that I can do, it appears the statute of limitations has expired on this, especially considering that no activity has taken place on this bill since 2001 and that she (we, now) were never sued. However, after hearing from them last month, we looked at my wife’s credit report to see that they had a – surprise – negative inquery into her history. (It obviously doesn’t look good for a collection agency to be hitting your credit) It would certainly appear, though, that this company saw the earlier debt ($255) as small potatoes, and delayed contact in order to let it grow. Again – as mentioned – it took over five years for them to contact my wife at the same phone number that they did earlier, when she thought it was resolved. Either that is the scummiest of practices, or that is the dumbest of collection agencies.

So here’s the dilemma. We don’t want my wife’s credit rating to be hit by this. Statute of limitations – to where we could be sued by this amount – appears to be expired. The collection agency’s response to this is that they can try to collect (negatively affecting my wife’s credit) as long as they want. Should I attempt to settle with them? I can’t attempt to describe the emotional toll that this has caused at this point … the collection agency is rude (surprise!) to my wife and she feels she is hounded by this. We could afford to pay it, but (1) this is letting a pretty shady business win and (2) there is no guarantee that they will not re-approach my wife in another five years, with some astronomical figure, claiming the debt was never gone.

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

First, derogatory items age off credit reports 7-1/2 years from the date of first deficiency. This is per the FCRA and nothing restarts the clock. There is no way a bill from 2001 should be on her credit report. If it is, dispute it as being beyond the reporting period.

Second, the Statute of Limitations (SOL), the timeframe to bring lawsuit, varies from state to state. Check yours: http://www.bcsalliance.com/y_debt_sol.html. Typically the SOL starts from the date of last activity or last payment. Making a payment can restart the SOL.

The collection agency can continue to try to collect the debt but they cannot report it to the credit bureaus and if they sue, they would lose when you use the SOL as an affimative defense.

In this case, send the collection agency a certified, return receipt letter telling them to cease all contact. They must stop but will probably sell the debt off to another zombie debt collector. You may have to send another letter to the new collection agency.

“White people’s diseases” include simple colds and flu, to which isolated tribes have no immunity, as well as measles, smallpox, yellow fever, whooping cough and malaria. Some 50 to 90 per cent of isolated tribal members commonly die after their first contact with outsiders – even when medical help is available.

Anthropologists have also weighed into this bizarre neo-colonial debate – with its hint of Victorian do-gooders clashing with indigenous sensibilities – by claiming that the British and Paraguayan scientists will be at considerable risk if the expedition goes ahead. “Contact with isolated groups is invariably violent,” says Jonathan Mazower, Director of Advocacy of Survivor International, an NGO that campaigns for the rights of tribes. Isolated tribes often throw spears at groups they believe have come to cause them harm. The Ayoreo are much feared by other tribes,” says John Gimlette, a barrister and travel writer who has spent time in the area and wrote At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pig, an account of his travels in Paraguay. “I remember a farmer telling me that they’re very warlike, very emotional and their first response is always to kill.”

And if that is not enough to put off the hardiest of adventurers, the Chaco forest, which is twice the size of the UK, is known as “green hell”. Exotic wildlife includes jaguars, pumas, giant anteaters and otters, prehistoric lungfish and the great fighting river fish. In summer it is a dustbowl; in winter the rains come and turn it to glue. Although the forest covers almost two-thirds of the country, only four per cent of the population lives here. “It’s fanciful to say that the tribes who have survived there have done so because of their spears,” says Gimlette. “They’ve survived because no one else wants to live there.”

My first reaction is "Why". My second reaction is "Why", as is my third, fourth etc.

Why do we "civilised" Peoples always think we have to stick our noses into cultures that we do not understand? The Crusades, Christian Missionaries- let’s leave other people to live the way they want to, or are the lack of "Soap Operas" a reason to "educate" them.

Really upsets me R.

My Boss recently laid me off because my Father was in the hospital and I’ve had to take 2 weeks off to take care of him. I went in to talk with my boss and asked what happens when I’m ready to work again, to which her response was, "We’ll see if I can get you back on the schedule, if not, then too bad." She hired someone else to take over my hours.

Honestly, she’s got me really pissed off and now that my father is feeling better, I’d kind of like my job back. If she doesn’t give me the 20 hours a week I used to work, is that illegal under the FMLA? Should I contact a lawyer or something for more information? Any help is appreciated.

You need to have worked for them 12 months and 1250 hours during that time to be eligible, and half-time work wouldn’t meet that requirement. Also, businesses with fewer than 50 employees are exempt, which would appear to nix it right there. Sorry.
