Open Question: support groups for depression?

Unbelievable... I have put "depression sucks" on my cell phone. I can't take it anymore either. (I've said that a million times). I decided to type "depression sucks" in my search and found so many others did the same thing. Does anyone out there feel like you have so much to offer the world, or you feel like there are hidden talents screaming to come out? I do. I feel like doing so many things, making a difference, volunteering, learning new things I'm sure I would discover I'm great at. But I am being held down kinda like I was a prisoner but not in a jail, I think jail would be an improvement sometimes. I feel like I'm in a sick camp where gaurds are watching and waiting to see me smile and chuckle over a funny joke, then they move right in and put crates of cinder blocks on me to make sure I don't dare try that again. I see 01/30/10 is the last post. Is there any kind of group out there looking to pick eachother up somehow? Well.... my best to everyone out there. I know that people who don't suffer from depression don't understand. Some say they do but I know deep inside most of them thing we are just lazy losers. Let me add... I believe I suffered my whole life from depression but didn't realize til a couple of years ago. I used to think I was depressed because I didn't make enough money. Then, for 2006 (and only that year) I was doing good, able to pay my bills and actually able to save a little each week. Well I found myself coming home from work and sleeping whenever I had the chance. I was sad constantly and at home the tears would pour out. I knew then that it wasn't the money. I sought help and started wellbutrin and I can say the crying stopped but that was it. A year later I was given lexipro to start with the wellbutrin but I took 1/2 a pill, had a bad reaction and didn't continue. I am not taking anything now and want something different, The old stuff didn't seem to be doing it for me. I started drinking v8 with a scoop of this green vibrance powder and could swear it was balancing me a little but stopped because It's just too expensive for me but would love to know what ingredients or combination would possibly help depression? Maybe no new posts means something good? more

Open Question: What should I do? (changing majors)?

Ok, So I was formerly in a different school searching for what to do with my life. I went from Pharmacy (quit because Chemistry and me just didn't work) to Nursing. I applied to one of the best school in my state and I got in. Now that I am in, even before, I was doubtful about Nursing but I was looking at myself in the end (which was working with neonates or with pediatrics or nurse anesthesia). But as we are doing the clinical, this is my first semester, I am doing great at clinical, but something just doesn't feel right and I don't know what. I just can't put my finger on it. then I went back and did a personality test to see the job that matches my personality and I found out it was psychology. I am not bad at psychology (I took some classes in order to get to nursing), but somehow it seems like people like to tell me their problems are. even when I don't know them. So I am thinking about changing my major again. But I don't know if I am just quitting like I did with pharmacy or if I am even fit to be a psychologist. I might get the same effect I had with nursing. Because I was so sure that I would be a nurse and I tried my best really but it just isn't working. Any leads will be appreciated. Thanks! more

Open Question: Made a loudmouth kid cry but now some teachers are mad at me, did I really go that far?

So I am a high school senior and there is this junior that really gets on my nerves. The junior has his clique and he is just a loudmouth who you can hear all the way across the hall. In one of my classes which I have to take to graduate, I have to put up with his mouth the whole class and the guy uses some really profane language as well. One time he called me a female dog (the b word) multiple times and everything because I did not stay on a school sports team when he himself did not even try out. Basically he is this obese kid who is a loudmouth, I think maybe people are scared of him or something so they don't feel the need to question what he says. Now on Wednesday he went too far, he called one of my best friends (a girl), a female dog (again, the b word) multiple times over an argument and he almost made her cry. She was really sad and she leaned on me shoulders which really hurt me on the inside. Well I was going to one of the other classes (the teacher is a person that loves me) to deliver something to her and this kid cracks some jokes again. Then one of his friends tells him not to continue because he already made my good friend cry. He starts being a loudmouth again and says "Man n*gga I don't care about makin that b*tch cry, what some quitter gonna do? I need to quit searching for parking spaces in this school cuz everyone wanna take the spots" I break and say the following: "Quitter? Precious please you did not even have the balls to try out for any sports team. As a matter of fact if you did have any balls you wouldn't be able to see them because of that Jupiter sized stomach blocking your view. Kid, you are insecure that is why you are some loudmouth who barks like a dog when in reality he is just a b*tch hiding on the inside. How dare you call a girl a b*tch when in reality you are an obese and insecure one yourself. And quit complaining about parking, the handicap space is always open for you!" The kid calls me some dumb terrorist (obviously making fun of my race) and I reply saying: "I can't crack Black jokes, because there is no way I can blame one race for creating a large pile of trash like you". The kid gets louder and tells me to go back to Saudi Arabia and I reply saying: "No this is my country, I am going to stay and make it a better place, decrease the obesity rate so we have less people like you walking around, go cry me a river miss (his first name) precious jones". The kid ends up breaking out in tears and one of my favorite teacher pulls me aside saying: "You are a student who has been accepted into Yale University and this is the type of bullying you show!? I am disappointed, I expected you to be mature". more

Open Question: How does this poem sound?

My teacher wanted me to write a poem about what happened in Haiti and she told us that the last line in each stanza had to be the same. At first I thought that I wasn't very good at writing poems because...well I was just bad at it. but people kept telling me that I had done a very good job. I had written this a few months ago but I just wanted to see what you all thought about it. Trouble in Haiti There was this country called Haiti Where people were enjoying their day But none of them didn’t even see That something tragic was coming their way. What was once a country is now a loss. It was hiding from them all Waiting for the right time to come To destroy everything that was short and tall Even though it was not welcome. What was once a country is now a loss. When this tragic beast struck, to the Haitians’ surprise, Many people couldn’t believe their eyes. Buildings were destroyed and people’s lives were taken. No one watching this even could see this as being mistaken. What was once a country is now a loss. After the damage was done, many people struggled to survive. They would have to eat something to stay alive. A little girl asked her mother, “Mom, where will we go?” The mother responded, “Sweetheart, I don’t know.” What was once a country is now a loss. People from other countries came to their aid. But the Haitians knew that it was no time to parade. There were people that needed to be found and others that needed help. But they could not do this by themselves. What was once a country is now a loss. After the people searched and searched for days, They had noticed that they had to look in many ways. They managed to find people alive at a fast rate, But with others they were a little too late. What was once a country is now a loss. Many people in Haiti are still struggling as we speak. All of them are hungry and beginning to get weak. People in other countries are doing there best to help them, Even though we know little about them. All we know is that what was once a country is now a loss.My bad. This isn't really a poem it's actually a ballet. Basically the same thing. more

Open Question: Searching for a job working with horses-tips on writing my résumé?

So what I really want to find is a place that boards trains, ect, and has lessons that will hire me... I want this to be a place that I can work at, and take lessons from at least once a week. I don't care if it's just cleaning stalls... a job is a job, and it's something to start with. I would like to write a résumé, but I'm unsure of where I should start, and everything to include... Just the whole job business makes me very nervous...And I'm so unsure about everything, because I'm too critical of myself, and a pessimist so I see everything going wrong... But I know how important a job is, especially since way too many things ride on 'When I get a job' I want to get into dressage *when I get a job* I want to talk to a doctor about getting on adhd meds to see if they would help *when I get a job* Too many things cannot happen until I get a job. What all should I make sure I remember to add? Is mentioning my ADHD important? How about the fact that I also want to take lessons? So far, all I can think of is... Years of experience with horses. The fact that I own my own horses. Point out that I'm very passionate about horses? I can lift heavy things. I have no problem moving bags of feed, and bales of hay. I'm twenty years old. And now, everything else is kind of flying out of my head... (Again, with the ADHD...I've been horribly distracted these past few days, and I've been finding it pretty hard to concentrate on things...) Also, online, I can find some places that look potentially great, like they're what I want...but they don't have any employment information on their website. Should I email them and just ask if they have any openings? If I do, should I just ask, or should I also include my résumé, or send that in a second email after they respond? Should I also post a Job Wanted ad on Craigslist, with like a mini résumé? What should I make sure I mention for that? Or do you know a better *free* place I could post an ad on, to find a job? Oh, and these people deserve a Best of Craigslist for this post, so go and give them a vote, and enjoy their cleverness. :O http://lexington.craigslist.org/grd/1653571001.html more

Open Question: What is the movie called?

This movie has been driving me crazy, I need to know what it's called so I can watch it. I saw it a very long time ago. Here is a description as best as I can remember: There were two women, one wanted to be a pageant queen or something, but she got pregnant and if the pageant people knew they wouldn't allow her to compete. Thus, she had her best friend adopt the kid and raise her like her own. So this other woman competes and pageants and is enjoying her life, but for some reason the kid is given back to her. I don't know what happened to the woman who was raising her. And so on... I thought the woman was Sandra Bullock, but I am not so sure anymore because I searched through some of her movies and none really click. Thanks!Paranormal Kitty, THANK YOU!!! Yes, that's it! I don't know why I kept thinking it was Bullock when it was Driver.Thank you everyone!!! more

Open Question: lose weight the RIGHT way...?

I've been doing internet searches on weight loss and all I find are peoples opinions, educated guesses, etc. I'm tired of hearing do this do that when a) it doesnt work and b) the person is just repeating what they heard everyone else say and hasn't even tried it themselves.. I'm not overweight, but I know that there's people out there who have lost weight, whether they were at a healthy weight and got skinnier, or overweight and got healthy, I know your out there. how did you do it? what worked best? and why?but what do you change your eating habits to? why? how much do you excercise? how many calories do you aim to burn? so many questions people don't answer... more

Open Question: Container Potting Soil (beginner needs info)?

Ive had bad luck with Miracle Gro soils. I'm currently using Miracle Gro Organic Choice potting mix. Plants are slowly declining. At the moment I have a peace lily, flaming sword bromeliad, gloxinia and kalanchoe. I plan to expand into more indoor plants as soon as I find a decent soil. I went to a local Armstrong nursery and they suggested a mix they sell which contains vermiculite, worm castings...etc It was labeled "organic". Yet at the flower shop I work at.. when our plants come in from the local farms it looks like the soil is something like 3 parts peat moss, 1 part dirt, and 1 part perlite. And those plants are healthy as heck and seem to be very hardy and much better looking than the average superstore plants. Ive searched and searched online but everyone seems to say something different. I also want to add that my bedroom plants do get sufficient humidity, air, and indirect bright sunlight. I water them correctly also. Im in southern CA, I think the potting mix is whats wrong. Or maybe I need a soil test kit plus new soil. Anyways I would love your help, info, suggestions, whatever from people who know about this. What is the absolute best potting soil? (for indoor plants and vegetables) (container style) What should it contain? (recipe? Ingredients?) Should it be sterile? (I mix desert sand in the soil but now gnats are showing up I seen 2 this week! HELP!!!) Where can I buy? +Can be a pre made mix like a store brand +Or a recipe I can combine more

Open Question: Are you doing something useful with your life?

Are you just person that sits there and complains Or suck on blood, or rip flesh with your fangs Wicked like the Joker, compacted like sardines Can you be programmed like another machine Are you evil, do you risk it all like Evel Knievel When in a tight squeeze do you become deceitful Do you waste away your time puffing Mary Jane Hoping it takes the pain, turns into blood stains Commotion might set in, panic will soon ensue Do you see in one direction, or in another view Standing very still, will you keep your composure Always to stand, not be push, even by a bulldozer Are you pure of heart, no comprehended by sin Or were you just innocent up until the age of ten Is your life begun to fade, or just in for a pit stop Better hurry up before all the roads begin to clot Are you a bum, or suck like a leech Attached to something by your teeth Can you even survive on your own Waste away life as you beg and grown Are you another actor of this play we all call life Want to end it all, then I dare you take that knife You complain of life, never to see its attributes Your falling faster and faster without a parachute Will you hit the ground hard and manage to live Slowly recover, or just have another grave to dig Is your heart an open wound, shot with a harpoon Wanting it all to end, praying death comes soon Are colder than an igloo, or have a goal to pursue Having tantrum every time things go a little askew Ignorant, sitting there watching TV, as people chat They’re telling you how to think, you start to get fat Do you speak of lies, everything wrong you deny Is your life worth money, or worth to forever fry Or do you want wings and a halo above your head Never give up hope, and may you never be mislead Are you a bum, or suck like a leech Attached to something by your teeth Can you even survive on your own Waste away life as you beg and grown They call me a demon from the deepest pits of hell Told I was to bring torture and pain on a high scale Searching for Pandora's box so that it can be opened Voicing out for those who have not always spoken Out about finding my purpose, crazier than any circus And to hated more than a song from Miley Cyrus If to be hated is to live, then I'm living the best reality Out on my patrol, making everyone another casualty Can you find the meaning, are you good at pretending Do you understand the message I’ve been sending While I'm out their shooting demons into ballistics Your just another lab rat becoming a life size statistic My purpose in life is to find a way man can collaborate But violence is the only thing we can ever ejaculate So let your soul be free, so for the next generation Can live better, cause war may be their preparation Are you a bum, or suck like a leech Attached to something by your teeth Can you even survive on your own Waste away life as you beg and grown The Midwest Arsonist more

Open Question: Does this sound harsh to you?

Me and my husband have been together for 6 years, married for three, we currently have one three-year-old little girl, and I'm also 7 wks pregnant. We have our own home which is paid for. We both work. We've always gotten along, and to my knowledge, our marriage has been perfect. In my eyes, we are very blessed to have what we have. We've got all this and we're only 25 years old. Just recently, my husband met these new guys and started hanging out with them. I didn't approve, but he is his own person and I let him do what he wants. I'm his wife, not his mother. The guys he was hanging out with were a few years younger than him, so yeah, they're a little immature. This all started in November of 2009, and just got worse. He started spending the night at his friend's house like a teenager, and fussing at me when I would say anything about it. We started arguing a lot about his staying out all the time with the "guys" and that's basically when our problems began. Before now, we've not had any such problems. I understand that we married young, but we've already got a family, which is a lot more than most people our age have. I consider all this a blessing. Just the other day, he told me that he has been thinking about life, and about where his is going, and said that he wants to leave and he wants a divorce. I said fine. He said he isn't ready for "all of this" and just wants to get out and be "free". He says he "needs time to find himself" and needs to do some "soul searching so he can be a better person." - whatever. So, whatever that means (cheating, sowing wild oaks, meeting new ppl, etc. I assume) Maybe he's bored. I dunno, don't care. All I know is that I've put my all into this relationship, and that is all I can give. I've been his lover, best friend, wife, everything. Well, he said he wanted out, and then persisted to stay, and kept coming "home", but said he was still planning on leaving and staying over at his friends house till about 10 pm - 12 am. I had it. He kept talking about how he was going to leave, but did not. To me, if he wants it, he can have it. He doesn't need to torture me by coming home and giving me false hope that we will remain together. And I refuse to let him use me. So, I asked him one last time as I was on my way to the OBGYN yesterday if this is what he really wanted. He said "yes". I said "okay, then get your things now and leave". "If you want out, you don't need to stay here anymore". I told him to go ahead and go that way me and the babies can get used to him not being here. I told him that when he got finished "finding himself" he could come back home, until then, not to bother us. Funny thing is (and I know this is harsh, but HE wanted this, not me), he doesn't even have anywhere to go. He isn't prepared for anything. He only makes 1200.00 per month, and expects to survive on his own. He has his eyes on an apt. that is $400.00 per month. But he isn't thinking, he's also going to have to pay child support, his power bill, water bill, gas in his vehicle, food, etc. He'll never make it. But right now, he is caught up in some fantasy that somehow life will be better without us. He hasn't even filed for divorce yet. He is staying with those guys that are most likely the one's who put this idea in his head in the first place. I just didn't feel that it was fair to me and my children to let him keep coming in and out as he pleased. He said he just "needs some time to sort himself out". I don't know what the hell he is talking about, and I'm not sure if I even wanna know. In my eyes, we seemed happy until these new punkass childish friends came along and "enlightened" him. Of course, they all ragged on him for being married. But, that is nothing to be ashamed of in my opinion. Do you think I did the right thing by calling his bluff and making him leave? I feel that he would have just dragged this out as long as he could if I wouldn't have made him go. I know it sounds bad, but I don't want to make it easy on him. I want him to see what he is getting himself into. I still love him and I want him to come back home, but I know I cannot force him. So now, I'm not calling him or anything. I'm just going to let him be. PS: Sorry so long, I know a lot of you don't like reading long questions, in that case, just move on. Only serious answers please. more

Open Question: Do you think I did the right thing?

Open Question: Should I train to be an astronomer or a diplomat (and other life issues)?

I'm stuck between the two. I'm 16 and a high school sophomore so I want to start taking steps toward getting to my future career. I'm already thinking about colleges and everything, but I need to have ideas on what majors I'd need to take. They're total opposites so I just dont know what to do! Also please give me ideas what I can do now, so that I'd look good when applying for colleges and stuff. Please reccommend things, like good colleges for these courses, what clubs in high school I should do, etc. I'm mostly interested in going to college in the Northeast of America, or in Europe (UK, Spain, France, etc). If I do something with international relations I'd really want to go to Oxford University.. thats like my dream place to go. But I really need to pump up my grades. This year, I had a fallout for the first semester. Like those are the worst grades I've ever had in my life. I procrastinated too much.. my mindset just wasnt right. I couldnt pull off all-nighters anymore. I think the problem was always there, but it just got worse to a point where it drastically affected my grades. My family just moved to a new town, from NJ to Texas. I've never been to the south.. so its all new. We literally just moved 2 months ago, cause my dad has a business here. I feel homesick already, but Im taking this as a new chance to fix everything. I feel embarrassed of how I wasted that last semester but Im an optimistic person.. and I know I cant change the past so I have to focus all my energy on doing my best in the future. I mean Im very smart.. I know I can get top grades if I just was working right. Anyways, I hope if I can get grades 95+ from now on, colleges would be able to forgive me if I can show them that I turned my life around and am now a much better person. The pros with taking Astronomy is that I've always been interested in Astronomy.. it just seems very fascinating. I just want to know more and more. Like once in the summer I spent like 3 days just researching all this stuff about the universe. The cons are that I'm worried about how much emphasis is put into mathematics for the career. Like I've seen some equations and its like... woah, overload! How do people come up with that stuff? I mean I like math cause I like classes Im good at (except Geometry... Im amazing at Algebra, but fail at Geometry.) and its cool when you get something right.. but ehh.. I mean it also feels horrible when you don't understand things and get answers wrong.. so idk. that seems stressful. Also its uncertain.. you could spend all this time searching for something and then not find it! And sometimes things just seem scary after a while. The pros with doing a sort of International Relations thing are that I love traveling (I've lived in England -> Cameroon -> New Jersey, US -> now Texas, US. It was all coincidental though, not really planned by parents like "I love England, lets move there!"), am very interested in international affairs, cultures, politics, etc and have a will to solve problems and help people! I'm interested in philosophy and the sort.. like if I were to go to Oxford (is that even still possible, even with my 1st semester fallout?) I'd want to take their Philosophy, Politics, and Economics course. I want to be a UK diplomat, not a US one, no offense. Like ever since the Obama election I've been very interested in the news.. I like to be in the know. Like when I come home from school instead of watching TV shows and stuff I usually go straight to like CNN or something like that. The cons would be putting myself in danger in some forlorn country.. and I wonder how longterm relationships would work out with all the traveling. And the availability for me to visit my large family when I could be so far away. Also, would I have to lie about certain things just to protect my country's interest? Or do something that I know is wrong, but have to do anyways? Like lawyers who know their client did the crime, but have to prove they didn't anyways, or they can't release the information... ehh. And I speak English, and can get along with Spanish but I'm no expert. Im also planning on learning French. What other languages do you think could be helpful? Japanese? Arabic? Portuguese? Chinese? Swedish? IDK! Im also planning on learning a native Cameroonian language of the area my parents lived, but i dont know how that would be useful towards being a diplomat since there are so many languages in Africa, its not like I could go to someplace else in Camerooon and use the same language and they'd understand. Please give me advice in anyway you can, if you can solve any or all of my problems. Also, do you think I still have a chance at getting in great colleges (ex. Oxford) if I do exceptional from now on, to be able to prove to them that I'm now a better person and will not repeat the same mistakes?** I moved to Texas 2 weeks ago, not 2 months. In Dallas, if you want me to be specific. more

Open Question: Am I wasting my time on my boyfriend?

Here is the situation: I've been with my boyfriend(28, I'm 23) for a year and we get along great and so on but the tables have turned since we first got together. When we started out I was unemployed and he was working and paying for everything. Even though we both still live at home I now have a good paying job while he is out of work and pay I for mostly everything. Don't get me wrong I don't mind paying at all(we focus more on just being together at home now than going out) We tentatively talked about moving in together just before he lost his job. We since agreed it is the best interest of both of us(we live an hour away and he has to do all the driving) he has been saying we need to wait until he has some sort of income, even part time, so all the burden isn't on me. He does look for work and applies to places, I've even suggested him going back to school(shot down cause he just paid off his student loans a few years ago) and I was ready to give up on the relationship because he doesn't have as much natural drive and ambition as I do and would find a way to not fill out applications to jobs I found for him and we were at a deadlock. About 2 1/2 months ago I was in a fatal car accident where I almost died. I think it freaked him out and then suddenly he was filling out the applications going and finding places that were looking to hire and so forth and all around has really stepped up his search. He went so far as asking his parents to loan him money or doing odd jobs for friends in order to get me something on Valentine's Day and my birthday even though I told him no. He also worked odd jobs to make money so he could pay for things when I was well enough to go out but still on medical leave without a dime to my name, and never said a word about it. He finally agreed to not be so strict about us moving in together and me being the main source of income(or only source at times) since financially it's more expensive how we currently have it. My concern is this: with me back at work and starting to make money again(which I'm saving so we can move in together in a few months) I'm worried it's going to just go back to how it was before of him acting like, why rock the boat? He did agree to me helping him start his own business by investing in the equipment he needs to do decent recordings of live shows for local bands(I guess that's where he has been making money recently) I know he loves me and wants what's best for me and really does want us to take this next step. But I don't want to sit here waiting for something that is never going to happen. Lord knows when he going to get work again and our current situation is not working and making everything very tense. Am I wasting my time waiting on something that may never happen or just being cynical to a positive sign of improvement? And for anyone suggesting he is a child who just uses people for money you are dead wrong. He paid all his student loans off himself(over $20,000) before he was 26 years old(I've seen the records myself) and he has no debt to his name whatsoever. He also drives to and from my house at least once a week(again an hour away) and has never asked me for gas money even before my accident. more

Open Question: shall i quit my job in desperation? and what to do about the evil deputy?? HELP!?

HI everyone, im new to writing things on here so bear with me but i have a problem at the moment and really down and dont know what to do!! firstly im 20 years of age , and have worked since the age of 16 which im proud of, i worked in a nursery for 4 years.i was at my first job for 3 yearsand after 2nd year hated it with a passion, i was basically treated like a scivvy, asked to do things no one else wanted to do, but being a loyal and honest person i would do as my manger requested. it got unbearable for me to cope and i was signed off with sick leave for about 2 weeks at a time and my attendance was really bad, i was off at least once a week. to make it worse we got a new manager, and she made it obvious she never liked me and would have fag breaks with her staff members.i decied the best option was to leave but i was so put with working in childcare, i considered looking for somewhere else,but becasue i was so desperate to leave the only easiest job i could get was in another childcare setting.. which takes me to my job now... which is a christian nursery! i from the moment of my interview i picked up my deputy never liked me, she would sometimes ignore me n give me quite dirty looks... when i started i was the only black member of staff which i felt slightly out of place and a lot of staff would nt really talk 2 me, it was like they were used to seeing staff come and go so they wasnt really botherd in getting to know me.i admit i didnt want to back into childcare but my friend from the previous job was employed here and recommended, so keeping an open mind i thought all nurseries cant be same and gave it a shot.. from dec to march i had 8 days off which included time off when my aunt died, which was very distressing for all the family...and they extended my propbation for another 2 months but im really struggling to cope there, the deputy manger can be very horrible at times, as in walking past me sometimes when i come into work she wouldnt say hello unless i would say it. or there would be times she would come into the room and ask other members of staff how there weekends been and refuse to ask me,...it bothers me as i do believe im human and have feelings too, it doesnt hurt to be respectful to your employees, weirdly enough the mangager is really nice and will have converstaions with me or at least make an effort..the workload has been immense soooo many staff changes and i would be asked to explain everything to the new staff, as well take over old staffs key children and potty train them as well as take observations and sometimes i end up crying on the way home, crying at work. i have shared this problem with the owner of the nursery as i feel i wouldnt be taken seriously by my manager as she is like best friends with the deputy and i know would defend her every move. i have had to work in a room where 2 people hated each other which is distressing as there is no communication what so ever so there was always problems with parents as no one was communicating. but lastly there was four members of staff in the garden with the deputy tidying up,me and a friend was cleaning the messy tray wen the deputy and another staff had a tray of wood shavings considering i had the bin next to me the tipped the tray and because it was windy the wood shvings went everywhere all over my clothes in my hair.. at that point i could have easily punched them in the face n walk out but i held my breath n said nothing then the deputy laughed and said oh sorry like it was a big joke... dealing with all the stress i dont feel like it was joke and done quite maliciously as they could have simply said excuse me or simply waited or just moved the bin!! im at work from 7:45 to 5:30 everyday and being a private nursery is open all year round i feel like im on the verge of a breakdown and dont know ho to talk to im desperatley job searching and have a few interviews coming up, and hoping i get them because i honestly feel i wont pass my probation.. worst thing is my deputy is my work mentor who focus on my work and attendance..in the room i work in i am the only one who is odne as they are told, hardly any one interacts with the children so i feel like im doing my job as well as evryone elses...and i feel im just getting picked on! i work so bloody hard to care for these children and know one gives a toss...im really down and just stuck right now!1 i desperately want to just give but cant leave as i dont have another job lined up and cant afford it i dread my alarm goin off and sometimes im crying on the way 2 work. another thing that pissed me off immensly was i used to work with another black girl who got fired and i admit had a bit of an attitude, and a friend of mine told me the deputy siad " oh shes only like that because of her culture" we are not all arrogant at all and was deeply hurt by this but as i had no proof couldnt do much about it, and im sure if i asked her she owuld have denied th more

Open Question: I want some REAL LIFE advice about a threesome!?

I am a woman, I have been with my man for 6 years and 2 kids. We were best friends before we started dating and I feel we have a very good relationship :) About 3-4 years ago I really started to open up sexually and ditch all the crap I was raised to believe and be who I am, which is a bisexual female. I really want to have a threesome with my man and another woman. This is also something he is into as well, yay :) We decided we are going to use a legal prostitute because it seems like a lot of the problems that the couples have is with the third woman and this just seems the best way for us. ANYWAY. I cannot for the life of me find some real, honest to goodness advice about this! First of all, all the advice out there is for the guys! Either how to get your woman to have a threesome, how to pick up two chicks, how to pleasure both women at the same time...I'm so sick of it! I want some advice for my perspective! I know for a fact there are plenty of women who are into and have had threesomes - so why doesn't a google search yield any results geared toward us?? Second of all, the other advice I seem to get is one of two things - -Don't do it. It's a bad idea and you will ruin your marriage. (Spoken by people who have NO idea what type of marriage I have lol but ooookayyy) -Do it. It's fun. Just be comfortable and set rules. (BUT HOW? AND WHAT KINDS OF RULE? lol give me something to roll with!) SO please please please, females - okay males I guess too ha - that have had threesomes or know anything about them can I please have some REAL LIFE advice about following through with a threesome and the best way to go about it before, during, and after as all three are as important as the next. Thanks guys!! :DUm. What's the risk? lol.We already decided on a legal prosititue but thanks for the idea :) A "friendly but willing" girl at a bar could have STD's (not my cup of tea!) & is most likely drunk & could easily get stalkerish and also very easily not follow any boundaries we have set in place, ruining the night and making it not so fun. But like I said, thanks for the idea :)I don't need any validation, I will do what I want lol but thanks :) Nope, I'm just looking for some advice on the best way to go through with it before, during, and after. And I didn't want anyone to reply "Don't do it" And for gosh sakes if you are going to ignore that and write don't do it anyway, at least give your freakin reasons!! lol!Harry, I totally see where you're going with that, but I don't think that's a good idea, lol. She *does* have her own fam to worry about, therefore she shouldn't be sneaking around, eh?Magic 8 Ball, I totally agree as far as the rules are concerned. That's why I asked. Because like I said the advice I'm getting is to set rules. And I wasn't sure what they were talking about. Because I don't see what rules would need to be set.kttphonix you are WRONG i am sorry but you say the reason there isn't any information out there is because people don't want this?? well you are wrong, there are a lot of people who want this, the reason theres a ton of advice for the guys and not any for the girls is because we live in a man driven world. everything is men first. and all about what they want and if they are happy. THATS why there isnt the information for the chicks. like i said there are plenty of chicks that want to and do do these things on a regular basis - it's just that we have it pounded into our head as girls to be nice and be with one guy and always do it missionary. and guys advice is to have fun and spread it far and wide and be with as many chicks as you can. sorry thats just the way it is. more

Open Question: Fantastic Revenge Prank?

Earlier today my wallet, unbeknown to me, fell out of my pocket and onto a chair while I was eating dinner with my friends. I got up out of my seat for some reason and while walking back to our dorm I realized my wallet wasn't in my pocket anymore. I rushed back to the restaurant and basically backtracked everywhere I had recently been in order to search for my wallet. This lasted for an hour because I was desperate. I also called the police to file a report and made the effort to transfer all of my money out of the bank account my debit cards accessed. A few hours later, still bummed, a friend called and said they had stumbled upon my wallet nearby where we had eaten. I was ecstatic when he handed it back. However, $100 was missing. I thought - well I guess that's expected. Then, even after more time passed another one of my "friends" threw my $100 bill at me that I thought I had lost forever and reprimanded me, saying "Wow I hope this prank teaches you a lesson never to part with your wallet again". They had my wallet the whole time! And they tried to teach me a lesson while putting me through so much unnecessary torment for something that was completely unintentional! I should teach them a lesson for breaking my trust! So... I need the best revenge prank ever... like I want it to be epic. What can it be? I'm open for all ideas and everyone should maybe even build off each others' ideas. Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant or not but I'm in college and I live in the same dorm on the same floor as all of these people. more

Open Question: Car Audio/Capacitor help for 2 amps?

So I have searched around on the internet for a couple days now and have seen so many ways people had these things hooked up. Which way is the right way or will give me best results? This is my thinking but i believe i may be wrong. Starting from the battery... Chassis>Capacitor>Distribution>2 Amps... or can you not distribute a ground wire? I grounded the Capacitor to the cars chassis and then to the amps right? Or do i need to use another distro block for the grounds and go from the chassis to the cap the the distro and then out to the 2 amps? or do you not even ground the amps to the cap??? So simplified view for grounding Chassis>Cap>2 amps? Chassis>Cap>Distro>2 amps? Chassis>Cap (then separate) Amp>Chassis and Amp>Chassis? Thanks in Advance! Rob.I didn't mean to put "starting from the battery" in the beginning, if you were confused. Sorry about that!not sure if you need to know this but the power wires are from the battery>Cap>distributer 4 gauge. then out from the distributer to the 2 amps it is 8 gauge. I'm using 4 gauge grounding wire. more

Resolved Question: How is the easiest, or best, way to tell your semi-estranged family you're engaged?

My family and I are, I guess you could say estranged. Things have been complicated with them the last four years--some good times, but a lot of horrible times--and prior to my meeting my soon-to-be fiance, things got pretty dangerous for me. When things started heating up again, I moved to another state to be with my mister where his family is stationed. My family loved him, but things are now strained since a) they don't see what they do to people, especially me, so they can't fathom that I would need to move for my safety and emotional well-being and to continue my life with more opportunities b) they see him as the one who "took me away." Contact has become more civil with my parents and youngest sister, however, my younger sister hasn't talked to me since I left. She and I were very close, and she understands my reasons for leaving, but it is my guess that she feels abandoned since she can't leave for another couple of years when she graduates. My mister and I are very soon to be engaged, and want to marry sometime this summer. My question is: How should we got about telling them about the engagement? My mister wanted to ask my dad's permission until the situation blossomed into what it has. I know my dad would have loved that, but can just imagine the kind of response he would get now. I am not afraid to tell them that I am engaged, but I am dreading their response and how it will be a rain cloud over something that should be one of the happiest times of our lives. Perhaps I am searching for the perfect, non-existent way to tell them without them being themselves...I don't know, but your advice is welcome.It's a common nickname for "boyfriend" where I am from, and he isn't yet my fiance. Soon, but not yet. more

Resolved Question: I want you to help me so bad: relationship ended?

I am reallie reallie disturb right now so please be patience with me. ( I was in long distance relationship ) Here goes my story: About few months back I broke with my bf & it was nasty, nasty nasty break up. I know whenever relationship ends it ends with bad note but mine was reallie nasty. We called each other names, screaming, arguments & all the nasty things you can think of. We were together for 5 years a lot shit happened btw us, family, personal issues, career issues, financial issues etc etc. I sincerely believed he was my soul-mate & i think somewhere in his he also believed that too. We were best friends, best lovers, best kids. Kids who are too much focused into studies and family orientated etc & both of had common personality of being honest & believing in God, staying away from alcohol & drugs, clubbing etc. It started out with ‘one hot love’ passionate kisses, romance, hugs little too extreme of everything and it was perfect. People would look at us & say ‘ you guys are so lucky’ he would get this compliments from his friends & i would get same compliments from my friends. We took each other for granted & thought nobody would be able to break us up. He was my first love & I was his first love beside ‘crushes’. Unfortunately, few months back we broke up ; it was him who just totally acted out reallie mean while I was in middle of my mid-terms & he started arguing with me & it tuned into a flame & we broke up. Everything ended. I spent few weeks crying & thought maybe he will realize his mistake & would call back but he didn’t. After few weeks later I tried to get in touch with him but initially he responded with lotta excitement but second tym around when I called he didn’t pick up my call nor bothered returnin my call either. I changed my number bec I was so tired of waitin for his phone call to end everything. Ever since then; I have been sensing he’s around me < this is pretty insane thought, i know> but I smell his perfume, I feel his touch & I hear his voice as he’s around & beside me. Not only this but also whenever I am online trying to search for something & his state name would come up randomly. I know i know, this is reallie broad thought but I have been feeling this since we broke up. I tried & decided to ignore this thoughts for so many times. But nothing reallie changed. I am not sure what to do? I want to get in touch with him again ( it’s been 3 months after we broke up ) But I think, I shouldn’t but I am getting reallie bothered by this. What should I do? Ps: His b-day is coming and I am thinkin to call him up to wish him on his b-day but then I think it will look that I am too desperate to have him back in my life. Please help more

Open Question: Do YOU think "drinked" is a word?

I want you to put the word "drinked" in the search box for Yahoo Answers. The number of people who post a question with this ridiculous word is staggering. I stumbled across someone's question who used this dumb word in his dumb question and then I clicked the link that asked if I wanted to see similar questions. You cannot imagine the vast amount of stupidity you will see if you search this ridiculous word. I don't think I'm better than someone else because I know complex words like "drank" or "drunk" but I will admit to the occasional reading of questions from people that could only be found on Jerry Springer. I don't want you to take my word for this. SEARCH DRINKED... it's a sad form of entertainment but an opportunity to earn a couple points nonetheless. Since the answer to my question is painfully obvious, the best answer will be chosen based on originality. more

Open Question: Books about the findings of "Deja Vu" (how it works, to what people and why)?

Hi, I've recently become fascinated with deja vu. I'd love to find out more about how it happens and why as it puzzles me that a "screen-shot" of that I've already seen played out to me, thoughts and all. I've had these from dreams, shrugging them off, then having them played out in front of me, in the strangest situations. I remember seeing a particular situation and even remembering my thoughts at the time, is there anything I could read at all about this? I'd really like to find out more, I've searched the web with no avail so far :S Thanks a lot for any help! All the best, Mel (if possible, please don't recommend a book that simply ends with: "as you can see we have more research to do" or "You're imagining it" with out back-up, thanks again :)) more

Open Question: Website competition script?

Hello all fellow netizens! I run a website, MumsOnline - Where Parents Talk, which is fairly niche and because of the target audience, a lot of retailers/suppliers use us to run competitions which promotes their services to our users. Upto a few months ago, we had a dedicated modification to the forum which would allow me to put in the competition details, the questions and answers, and the script would randomly choose the winner from the correct answers. However, since vBulletin has changed their software - our old solution no longer works so I have been searching high and low for an alternative to no avail. I need, essentially, a solution which will allow me to put in the details of the competition (html preferred as I can format the information how I need to), stipulate the question, supply a list of wrong answers and 1 right answer, end users would then choose their answer and at the end of the competition run - the script will automatically choose the winner from the pool of correct answers. I've exhausted my resources looking, so now I ask you lovely people of Yahoo Answers if you can help me out? Thank you for your time and I look forward to any suggestions! All the best, Andy http://www.mumsonline.net - Parenting support community, for parents by parents. more

Voting Question: Source of a Martin Luther King, jr. quote?

I've been searching for the text and occasion of a MLK quote... I have never been able to find it in his biographies. My best attempt at paraphrasing it is: "It is not enough to merely be neutral or nonpartisan or unbiased in the struggles for justice of oppressed people. Justice demands that those who are free must stand up actively to advocate and fight for those who are oppressed." Let me know if you recognize this quote/where it came from... Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Is my plot very good, a little good, or entirely suckish?

In my story eighteen-year-old Cassandra is returning to her small hometown in Florida for the first time in three years. During her freshman year in high school, she lost her good reputation when she killed the local football star as he was trying to rape her, so she went to live with her aunt and uncle in Maine. Years of hard work in school have earned her a spot at Vanderbilt University in the fall, but before she goes onto college, there are some things that she needs to take care of back home. First of all, her father is going back to work at the fire station (after an injury), so he needs help looking after Cassandra's sixteen-year-old sister Kaye and running their family-owned apartment complex. Though Cass really doesn't want to return home, she knows that she must help out, so she goes home with the idea of staying only the summer. Her first few days at home are okay. Though her sister is entirely unwelcoming, she gets in with her old friends pretty well and things seem to be going her way. However, at her first night at work at a local restaurant, everything seems to go wrong. It is thirty minutes until the end of her shift (at 11PM) and everybody seems to be going home for the night. The only ones in the restaurant are Cassandra, her boss, and another male patron whom she has never seen before. As she is getting ready to wind down for the night, four people walk in who turn the evening around for the worst. One of them is the step brother of the guy she killed three years ago, and when he sees that she is pretty much alone, he takes the opportunity to mess with her. She lets his comments slide, but when he grabs her butt she responds aggressively by punching him in the face. He then overpowers her in the restaurant, and though she looks to the strange patron for help, he sits there and does nothing. Luckily, her boss is there to chase her attacker away, but she turns her anger on the mystery patron. He makes a smart remark about her attack not being his problem, and this only makes her even angrier. Okay, I am babbling. Sorry :) Basically, the girl finds her childhood best friend brutally murdered the next day, and as the police search for the killer, she launches an investigation of her own. This leads her to the guy at the restaurant, and the violence that she finds in his past is shocking. However, when she learns that he is innocuous, she feels herself starting to fall for him. But there is only one problem: The police are on his trail too, and Cassandra must make a choice--keep the remnants of her good name or protect the guy she has grown to love. So, how does it sound? Be as mean as you want--I am very thick skinned :) ! more

Open Question: Broadway & Off-Broadway on DVD?

I can't believe I missed Jude Law playing Hamlet. It's just not fair. D': *frustrated* I would have loved to see that. I don't even like Shakespeare, but Jude Law is a gorgeous and talented actor, and to see him perform would be so amazing! (For all you David Tennant fans out there, I think he's a good actor, but I'm just not familiar with him. Before I resorted to Y! Answers, I was searching google to find an answer. I found out that David's performance of Hamlet is coming to DVD - I'll most likely rent it, because I like him as an actor. But I really, really want to see Jude Law play Hamlet.) I saw Extinction with my best friend and my brother, and I could only afford to see it once. It was my first broadway play ever. I really, really want to see it again, but I'll never be able to, because broadway doesn't go to DVD. T^T Or does it? Does Broadway and Off-Broadway come to DVD? It's just not fair. D: What about people who want to see broadway shows - people who didn't know or couldn't afford to go at the time? You can see it for a limited amount of time, and then you'll never see it ever again - it just sucks. ]:Or, even better than going to DVD - will it go back to Broadway? Will I get another chance to see Jude Law play Hamlet? Ever?! D: more

Resolved Question: Why are you no longer christian?

I searched for god with all my heart. I leaned not unto my own understanding, but I trusted and acknowledged god in everything. I never approached god empty handed and I obeyed his word and kept his commandants best as I could. I frowned on things god said were sinful or wrong and I was happy as a lark to be his good and faithful servant. Once, while praying, I told jesus that I could "spot" him out of a crowd of thousands because I KNEW HIM. I submitted myself to god. I prayed for his will and his plan to come to pass. I tried to keep a clean heart and mind and be patient for god to do his good work in my life. I respected god and thanked him every single day for his son, jesus and the holy spirit. So can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here because god is not helping me in any way, shape or form. Why is god permitting me to go through so much living hell when he himself said that he would not allow me to carry more than I can bear? Why have no doors been opened for me when I have knocked so hard that my knuckles bleed? Why does god say that he will deliver me out of all my troubles and yet my problems just keep getting worse? If god can't answer ONE SIMPLE PRAYER that I have brought before him for 10+ years, then why should I even bother to pray.. at all? I'm well aware what I ask for must be in god's will for me but see... what I've been seeking god for is a good husband. I am single, I have NO family - none! I live alone with 2 cats and 3 goldfish. My biological clock is ticking away. I'm lonely. I am seeking god for a good man so we can get married and have a family. What disturbs and frustrates me the most is seeing people getting married who aren't christians, that blaspheme and take the name of god in vain. And, here I am, the good little christian girl, waiting on god... waiting. waiting. waiting. -crickets-commandants = commandments more

Voting Question: What should I put in the "Objective" section of a resume if I am currently employed, but keeping my eyes open?

I graduated college in 2009 and I have been working full time since as I found a job after graduation. Since the economy wasn't the best when I was hired (and still isn't great) I am under paid. I can't complain about employment, but I know I deserve more. Keep in mind that I am in an in-demand field: environmental engineering working on renewable energy projects. One major side note – I am up for salary renegotiation at my 1 year mark at the company I am with, and a big part of me wanting to contact other companies is because I want to know my options, and if other companies are interested I want to look in demand during the renegotiation. I hate sounding greedy, but I would take an offer if it paid substantially better (wouldn’t you?). So - I would like to send my updated resume to companies I have spoken with and interviewed with when I was job searching and while still in college. I have a list of contacts at other companies, so I will be emailing specific people as opposed to a general email. But I don’t know how to approach my Objective. I am satisfied with the company I’m currently working, but I want to just see what else is out there. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this topic without sounding like an ass, or arrogant, or disgruntled, etc? more

Voting Question: How do Employment Agencies work?

I am a little unsure and do not know much about them. Does anyone have experience going through an agency, and could you tell me how they operate? Do they find everyone a job, or certain people they think best fits the employer's needs? I went on a couple of agencies websites, and it's just a basic job search engine, do I have to call them and ask them for their help? Or they will contact me once I send my resume in and set up a profile? All answers would be appreciated. more

Voting Question: Would be Husband have been cheating, based on the following?

Married 13 yrs. 10 yr old Daughter. Me Bipolar in remission. Was caring, gentle, and charming. Now. Has been reunited with an Ex, the three of us would go out socialising she became a god friend to me. They spent the guts of two weeks in December searching for her Adopted child in Cork, he took her along as he worked there at that time. Hid his mobile, took calls outside. Phone me two weeks before Christmas to tell me he was leaving me in January, I accused both him and her of having a "Something" going on, both denied. He got angry with me when I mentioned her name. 1st January at 11.30 pm caught him in her house alone drinking and very cosy looking, they both maintained a good friendship. Have a message on phone that he didnt realise he,d rang the house one night while he was out, it was him and her in a car, laughing, and him saying I am gonna get up in the morning and make you a cup of tea and then we'll go to the pub and get that drunk we wont. END of message. We have been seperated now for nearly 3 months, It is killing me not knowing for definate if there was or is still something going on. She is divorced and has been about the block anyway. People are amazed when they hear bout me and him, but yet not so amazed about her and him, it seems to me people know something and I dont. Based on the above, and I going out of my mind beleiving he cheated or is it plain to see, yet not for me.

Voting Question: Does this sound like a stalker to you?

My best friend recently met a guy online though a catholic dating site. We'll call the guy Bob. So Bob started talking to my friend through the site, within a day they were on AIM and that night they became friends on facebook. She tells me facebook was his idea. Soon they exchanged phone numbers and since then he calls her at least twice everyday, sometimes more, texts her all the time too. And if she's with her friends and can't talk he gets upset, and will text her non stop, or make up some problem so she'll talk to him. Bob insisted on meeting my friend in real life, and she agreed, stupidly inviting him to her house to meet her parents. Myself and another friend begged her not to do this, and not to go on a date with him at all. My friend claims that Bob doesn't want to date her, he just wants to be her friend, and that she trusts him, so it was ok. So they met and he took her to play at his old high school, Bob insisted on driving the 40 minute drive there. They arrived an hour, talked for almost an hour in the parking lot after the play and talked for another hour when they got back to her house. The next day they went to a fancy mass together. That afternoon my friend was hanging out with me and some other people, and Bob calls her again making up some story. note they had just seen each other 3 hours ago. He called again that night after she got home apparently. My other friend and myself feel very uneasy about the guy, granted we've never met him, but still. We checked his facebook page, and he has almost 1,000 friends, and talks about beer pong a lot, he's only 20. We told her this, but she says she can't find it. I searched from her facebook and she's not lieing, my guess is that Bob blocked it from her. Which I find fishy. But my friend over looks this, my other friend and myself think she's blinding herself to his flaws because they met on a catholic site. so in short Bob: -calls 2+ times a day -texts all the time -has to know what she's doing and who she's hanging out with -is very pushy in getting his way -blocks things on his facebook from her seeing. stalker? rapist? creepy guy?Note: he also keeps her up into the wee hours of the morning and then she's tired the next day. more

Resolved Question: I'm looking for the name of a book...?

I'm doing a report on the Great Depression and literature, and I read a great book in 8th grade that I feel would be great for this report. Trouble is, I didn't have the best time during the two years I spent at the school where I read the book. As a result, I threw away most of the assignments I did that year, including any regarding said book, to try to forget about it as quickly as possible. While I can remember a fair amount of details, I can't remember the name, and I haven't gotten anywhere using those details to try and find the book, so I'm hoping you can help. The book is set during the Great Depression, and it's about the teenage son of a (who's a good piano player that can improvise, and I think he's named Josh) who can't stand his Polish immigrant dad, so he runs away with his little brother and best friend in search of a better life. His best friend dies off quickly when they try to jump on a train, and Josh and his little brother meet all sorts of people during their journey (i.e. bootleggers, truckers, farmers, anarchists, a circus they join temporarily). They even become separated at one point, and Josh realizes just exactly what his dad had to go through from day to day with little to nothing all the time. Josh even becomes separated from his little brother at one point. They reunite and later head back home. In terms of other characters, Josh did have a crush on the clown in the circus I mentioned, and Janey is the 15-year-old daughter of a trucker he met. I know that either his little brother or best friend is named Howie. Man, it's so frustrating that I can remember so much stuff about the book, but not its name. more

Voting Question: Being poor in a rich school?

ok little backround I used to live in a huge house. But my mom knows some people and they built this huge house for her just for 400,000. It was amazing. 6 bedroom. perfect. My parents were married. I lived there from 1 and a half yrs to 5 and a half. There were kids my age that i hung out with. Named Casey, Maggie, Abbey and Devon(girl). Well Abbey and Maggie did not really like each other but i was best friends with them. We all got in different kindergarden classes. Casey moved right before kindergarden started, and Devon moved in the middle of the school year. So there was just me maggie and abbey. Abbey meet new friends in her kindergarden class. We and Abbey were still very good friends and still hung out with each other. But me and Maggie were did not meet any new friends in kindergarden. (well i did but not best friends) Then when kindergarden was over i moved, because my dad lost his job and we could not afford the house anymore. So we moved into a big townhouse. and i lost in touch with Abbey as soon as i went on the moving truck to go to our new home. Me and Maggie are still best friends see each other about five times a year, but she moved into the same city as me but different location and she goes to private school now. Anyways. The people in my school and there school are way differnt cause the people in my school do not get everything in life handed to them unlike them. They are not the richest people some are but they do not act like it. Everyone is kind, and are soo fun to be around. But the other school is full of rich snobs. They love money and i have not seen one poor popular person there. I know this because i'm moving back there. but not in the big houses. into a one of thoose small townhouses. but it has a hottub :)... anyways. And i searched abbey on facebook and she looks really popular but nice but not her friends. I am nervous because when i am new there in 7th grade im bound to meet up with her and talk. Im scared and embarrsed of because what i had and now where i am. Im also a changed person im no longer highclass. more of middle class. maybe little lower. From the big maniison of a house to a small townhouse. I do not know what i should do. It is embarassing cause its a major downgrade. So i do not know what to do. Its not my fault cause my parents got a divroce and had to split the money so i need to know how to live with rich people in a rich school and not be teased while being poor thanks more

Voting Question: I'm searching for random best...things. Is there such a site?

Is there a site where people can post any knowledge they think is great to have. And other people can rate the posts on how great the knowledge is. hmm, how to make this really clear.. For example: I find a great way to learn how to play guitar, and want to share that technique. I can post it on that site and my technique will be rated. But also when I find a very useful piece of software, or a very beautiful picture, a great restaurant in hawaï, anything. I guess I'm basically looking for a site that rates the entire internet. more

Resolved Question: Where should I stay in Hawaii (Big Island)? Do I need a car?

Where should I stay in Hawaii? Do I need a car? Hi everyone! I'm making my first trip to Hawaii for the second half of April and I'm hitting the big island (traveling alone). I've made a list of things I want to see and do and I'm looking for recommendations for where to stay. At this point my best idea is spending the first week in Kailua-Kona (since that's where I'm flying into) and the second week in Hilo. I'm trying to keep the trip as cheap as possible and so far from internet searching the places that seem best are "Patey's Place" in Kona, and "Hilo Backpackers Hostel" in Hilo. I'm looking for any insight or experience from people willing to share. Additionally, do I need a rental car? If so, for the entire time I'm there? Is it expensive to get around otherwise? Any help or suggestions to make this trip easier, cheaper, and more fun are greatly appreciated!

Voting Question: Searching for a fast sleeper used car, what would you suggest?

I've been looking for something to make my commute to work a bit more fun. I was wondering what do people consider to be the best used sleepers for fast cars these days? Thanks.The school bus is a nice touch but a little freaky. A Camaro is clearly not a sleeper and the cop car is just going to have people thinking I'm actually a cop or an undercover cop. I'm thinking of some kind of sedan that goes like crazy but most people don't know that it goes fast. Still looking for ideas. more

Voting Question: What do you think of my first chapter?

This is the first chapter of Meeting Jordan. It's a sequel to Star Searching. Charles and I went to the drug store two months after our one year anniversary. We were both almost twenty now and were in college. I had missed my period twice, and I was terrified. “What if I’m pregnant?” I looked up at him as we payed for the test. “Then we’ll get an abortion if you want. Okay?” he stroked my long hair. Charles and I had been best friends for years and had only started dating not too long ago. He was a pop star and we were traveling a lot. Currently we were in our hometown of Elmira, California. It was a very small town, only a little over two hundred people. Charles and I might bring another person into this small town. We drove back to the small apartment we had rented for our three month stay in our hometown. I hurried to the bathroom and took the test. I sat there on the toilet, waiting for a few minutes, waiting for the test to give me an answer. My scream was so loud that Charles burst into the bathroom with a gun in his hand. He must have though something was in here. Charles bent down next to me and took the little stick from my hand. We were having a baby. I didn’t believe in abortion or adoption, and I didn’t want to dump my little baby with my family. Charles looked down at the stick and bit his lip. He shook his head and looked at my stomach. We were two months pregnant, the last time we had sex was two months ago. “Charles, what are we going to do? I . . . I don’t want an abortion, and I don’t w, w, want to give the baby up for adoption,” I sobbed into my hands. He wrapped an arm around me and touched my stomach with his other hand. His touch was gentle as he rubbed my soon to be big stomach. I buried my face in his shoulder. The hand that was on my stomach moved to around my back. “I don’t know sweetheart. I don’t know,” he kissed me gently and stroked my stomach again. “Do you want to keep the baby?” I whispered. He looked at my stomach, love in his eyes. He already loved our baby. Charles nodded slowly and looked up at me. He stood up and pulled me with him. “We have to tell our parents,” his voice was happy, yet sad at the same time. I leaned into his side and let him guide me out to his car.I meant thought, not though. more

Resolved Question: help fluency of my writing?

can you tweak this so it sounds more flowing? On the other hand, reasons against Euthanasia can be broken down into these main areas: There are many religious arguments that Euthanasia is against the word and will of God, it weakens society's respect for the sanctity of life, the patients suffering may have value and voluntary euthanasia is the start of a slippery slope that leads to involuntary euthanasia and the killing of people who are thought undesirable. Some ethical arguments include that accepting euthanasia accepts that some lives (those of the disabled or sick) are worth less than others, Euthanasia might not be in a person's best interests and Euthanasia affects other people's rights, not just those of the patient. A few practical arguments are that proper palliative care makes euthanasia unnecessary, there’s no way of properly regulating euthanasia, Allowing euthanasia will lead to less good care for the terminally ill, Allowing euthanasia undermines the commitment of doctors and nurses to saving lives, Euthanasia may become a cost-effective way to treat the terminally ill, Allowing euthanasia will discourage the search for new cures and treatments for the terminally ill, Euthanasia undermines the motivation to provide good care for the dying, and good pain relief, Euthanasia gives too much power to doctors, Euthanasia exposes vulnerable people to pressure to end their lives, Moral pressure on elderly relatives by selfish families, Moral pressure to free up medical resources and Patients who are abandoned by their families may feel euthanasia is the only solution.
