noonehere Who will have the best "rebound" from Friday Night Lights? Feb 19, 2011 12:11 PM
Bettye Wayne Voulez-vous un pacte civil de solidarité? Feb 25, 2010 12:59 PM   I just learned this and wanted to share... gay marriage is almost-sort-of legal in France! A Pact Civil de Solidarité (or PaCS) is a civil union between two people of any sex who wish to combine their debts, contracts and assets. A PaCS is not available between:  family members, those who are already married or PaCSed, nonresidents of France and those under 18.   Couples can file taxes jointly after three years, may collect inheritance and social security benefits, can share health benefits, and must share a common residence. Partners can not jointly file for adoption, however one partner can file for single-parent adoption. A nonresident can not gain residency through a PaCS, only though marriage. A PaCS ends when one partner dies, or after a three month waiting period if one partner requests it. A PaCS also ends if one partner gets married.   I searched around but I couldn't find any information on whether or not one partner is allowed to make power-of-attorney decisions should the other partner become unable to make those decisions for herself... if anyone knows please let me know. I'm also not sure if one partner shares the burden of all the other partner's past debts, or if couples only share debts incurred while PaCSed.   In French, " pacser" has become a verb, as in " Voulez-vous pacser avec moi ?" or " Les femmes se pacsent ." Un Pacte de Civil Solidarité is not equal to marriage, but it's an important step toward equality. If only the US would do the same.

They have a great selection of designer shoes and handbags on sale. For example there's this thing that's called Carolyn's closest that has amazingly discounted things like these Givenchy's shoes for $250, which is insanely low for Givenchy shoes. Here's the link for Carolyn's Closest! Enjoy! http://www.footcandyshoes.com/carolynscloset.asp

laurel9894 Planning my 1st trip to France Jan 13, 2009 9:53 AM Bonjour France! I am taking a trip with 2 of my besties to France but we are already lost. It's going to be at the end of May and we want to fly into Paris and travel all around. We only have 7 days and we want to see the south of France too. Are we asking too much? We totally want to get a rental car and drive but we dont want to be too rushed with our time limit. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm open to all. I'm excited but i dont want to overwhelm myself or my friends. Please please help :)
