not reading entire discussion

lilttownmommie @lilttownmommie (1473) • United States 14 Jan 07

1syntax Since most people are likely to be speaking English. Having English as "1" makes sense. It would take less time for majority of the people to locate their number. Since "1" is the first number that would appear on the list. As for the order, or equality...

1syntax Too much of anything is harmful. Something becomes poisonous when the amount exceeds the acceptable amount. Its just that some requires less to hurt you while some needs more. Which in this case, water should require a lot. At least thats what I think :)

1syntax You can get decent interest if you put your money under term deposit like GIC for a year or more. In Canada we get a interest rate of around 4% a year. I think it is more safe to have the bank look after your money. Besides, its more convenient to wire money...

1syntax Before you decide to stay or leave, you should try to confront him and tell him how you feel. If the situation doesn't improve, you might want to consider moving away. His violence behavior surely not the best for your future child.
