I'd print the page first. Then I would make sure I outbid everyone by an astronomical figure. After winning the auction, I'd go to their home and collect like Deebo from Friday.

First, I would call my relative to let him/her know that I've seen the ad. Then, I'd give them 24 hours to remove and return the item to me. If that doesn't happen, then I'm resorting to violence....joking! I'm contacting the administrators of the website, the police and Judge Mathis. :-)

1) I would immediately contact the site of the auction to let them know I was the owner of the item, not the seller and the seller did not have my permission to sell it. Ask them to remove the auction, immediately. 2) I would inform my family member what I have done, and request the item be returned to me ASAP or I would bring get it legally. Family heirlooms are not to be sold, regardless of how much they are worth.

I contact the auction house and ask how I should proceed with this. Technically this is a stolen item and not eligible for auction. Any reputable online auction site [ie eBay, etc.] has guidelines for this scenario. Then I'd call my relative and let them know either they GIVE IT BACK or I'm reporting the property stolen.

Notify the local police first, notify ebay 2nd, call the relative out of the blue and chat them up about what they've been up to. Casually ask about the item to see what they say. Either way 5-0 is on their way to them. No sympathy for a thief.

I would print out the ad and show up at their home. And then I would take my stuff back.

$10,000 is not my grandfather's army trunk. I would go to them, or call them if they aren't local, and let them know they they will be returning it. I would hope it didn't escalate beyond that point. But I would be getting my antique back.

In my case, younger looking is big a disadvantage because I have been refused access to Atlantic City casinos more than once, I can't buy any alcoholic beverage without having to justify my age and the worst is at night clubs! It an really annoying at times! I am often taken seriously!

When I was young ( I wanted to run with the older crowd...yeah I thought I was 'all that'!) so I didn't like looking young. After pushing out the little ones, I liked the fact that I looked young and was 27-28 for quite a few years. NOW...I still look younger than what I am but it's not so good 'cuz according to my girls I look like one of those older women who try to look like they're young. Oh my heart!

People have always said that I don't look my age. Its more of an advantage to me now that I'm in my mid-30's. Now I need to work on feeling younger.

I had to let that go after a few years of claiming to be 27. I am often told I look younger than I actually am, which is nice. But my hairline has started to reveal my truth. I could live life under a hat (like Ne-yo) or bandana (like Bret Michaels), but I have a real job and they wouldn't allow that. I also considered a wig, but I don't know how you ladies spend all day under those thick, hot, heavy hairpieces.
Yup, it's easier just accepting I look how I look.

When I was younger, it was hell being seen as much younger than I actually was. But I always consoled myself with the fact that it would come in handy one day. That day has come! haha

Growing up my family could not afford health care, so I suffered because of it. Now I want to make sure that my kids do not go without health care. Unfortunately since we're self employed, our health care premiums are outrageous. We are paying $1300 per month for a family of four. Our insurance premium increases each year and will increase even more if we decide to have another child. I'm so happy to have an alternative to paying this exorbitant fee.

I agree with Inkognegro. If anything happens to me, I have no clue how I'll pay or what I'll do. Even my kids were w/o care for a while and they both have allergies and are asthmatic. Luckily, coverage kicked in shortly after the baby got a sinus infection (even though we still came out of pocket for initial treatment).

Yes, I've been healthy all my life but, as I approach 31, there are some things that I feel I need to get checked out and can't. There are some serious conditions running in my blood. The types of things that, if not caught early, could take me away from my kids. I have to just muddle through and hope that none of these aches, pains, headaches, and "spells" are anything serious.

It's ridiculous and the stress I live with about not getting sick is just another ailment to deal with.

As a self-employed person, having affordable health care is HUGE.

From preventative care to getting coverage for pre-existing conditions this reform will not only help me but about 32 million others, as well, so Thank you, Mr. President for seeing this through!

For my minor children, the peace of mind knowing that they can attend college and still have coverage until age 26 through my policy is also nice.

The stress and worry that we as Americans have had to endure while the rich, Fat Cat insurance execs do their snow job on us ends now! We want fair and affordable coverage, we want to be healthy and live quality lives, and that is what any compassionate person would want. So why all the controversy? Why teabagggers, why?

Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee (not tea) and realize this is the RIGHT thing to do, RIGHT NOW!

I am perpetually afraid. Every sniffle, every twinge of my knee, every toothache heaps stress on my life. I KNOW i need to go to the doctor, but I wouldn't dare.

I would probably be pissed...on the inside. If it's already this far gone, no point in arguing with them about it. I would just try to be there for them until the end.

I'd be pissed because stuff like this could usually have been prevented, but people choose to keep it on the hush for some reason. The next thing you know, something curable becomes your death sentence.

It would kill me to know that they went through it alone and didn't let anyone be there for them. However, if they're about to die, there's no point in wasting time on that issue. I'd just be there for them then in any way that I could. But I think it would still bother me long after they were gone...

Re: My Question of the Day for 24 March 2010

VLT — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 11:26:43 -0000

I can understand - some people would rather suffer in silence. But I would let him/her know that I'm there for them during their last days. I'd sit by their bedside and keep them company.
