She is approaching her late thirties and wishes to have a baby, but no longer wishes to be burdened by a marriage in order to have the child. She comes to you and asks to donate your sperm so that she might be able to have a baby. Needless to say, this request is done out of great respect for you and in consideration of her complete t... more...

One thing that no person wants to face is the prospect of receiving a speeding ticket. It's costly and if you're looking up at a police officer who has stopped you in traffic to write you a citation, it's embarrassing as well. Today, with the advent of the photo radar ticket, you might not realize the damage your lead foot has done until days or possibly weeks later when you open your mail to find an image of your license plate on your vehicle that was speeding merrily along; ... more...

But ride along with a police officer to accident scenes daily, and you'll probably change your mind real quick if you don't wear them now. When I first started in police work, I didn't wear my seat belt. At the time, there was no law requiring it. But my opinion changed very quickly after doing the job for only a short period of time.
