Open Question: I have trouble going from friends to girl/boyfriend...?

First I would like to say, please give a detailed response to this quesiton, Thank you. It seems like girls like me and think I'm cute. I have many friends who are female and they are always saying "hey" to me while I pass them in the hall, etc. I like to have good conversations with them and make them laugh. But as soon as I try to be something more than friends, it gets awkward, and they stop talking to me. I'm not a creeper, and I'm not annoying, I know my boundaries. So I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. For example, here is a conversation I was having with a girl (the last two messages of it). It was going well and then after I asked her if she wanted to grab something to eat with me, she just never responded again. It has been 3 days and I know she has seen the message. So please read the messages and tell me what you think I did wrong or what I can do. The more detailed your response, the better. Thank you Her: haha, I was running back up to my room. I forgot something for my class that was starting in like 10 minutes, so I felt the need to hurry. also, that Bahamas thing only lasted a week [in May], so if I look more tan, I really have no explanation for it. I'm also hoping to do a program in France this summer, if I can figure everything out in time. I need to take French classes for my French major [go figure], but (*the name of the college) doesn't actually offer anything in France, which means I'd have to coordinate with some 3rd party program or another school or something. which could potentially make my life very difficult. which is never really a good thing. Me: I agree there, difficultness is not a good thing (neither is it a real word) lol. Did you make it back in time for class? =P I didn't know you were a French major. Are you double majoring with French and something else? We should get food sometime, it would probably be easier to talk there - as long as the conversation stays in English and doesn't switch over to French that is lol. more

Open Question: When I try to get close to girls I scare them off?

It seems like girls like me and think I'm cute.

Open Question: I have lots of friends who are girls, but no girlfriend...?

Open Question: Go to my friends wedding overseas $$$?

My friend from college is getting married in the Bahamas this Jan and it would cost close to 2K to go for 4days. I'm a little broke and have been trying to save money and move out of my folks and go to grad school. Its been two years and instead of saving I've incurred debt due to a car accident. Spending these money would cause me to put my plans on hold even longer. While she is not my best friend I would like to be there for her, but I think this is a lot to ask considering she planned the ceremony overseas so that she could save half her wedding budget to pay off debt herself. She has displayed a taker mentality in the past and if she didn't have the money would go overseas for my wedding. A couple of my other college friends are also going and it would be great to spend 4 days in an all inclusive island resort. I worried that I will miss out, but that it is not the responsible thing to do. Should I go? more

Voting Question: How do you tell someone.........?

My boyfriend has not always been good to me. In two years, he has left me for his ex, came back, lied to me about not being able to afford to live to get out of visiting me when I was at college (when actually he spent 2k learning going to the bahamas with his friends that same week), and more recently- he would cop an attitude all the time being mean to me, yelling at me, but blamed it on not liking his job. After he yelled at me relentlessly for bringing it up, I told him I would leave him unless things straightened out because I just couldn't do it anymore. He kept being an ass for a few days, but he has actually been really sweet and kind since I said that, completely changed. However since the last time he really screwed up, I haven't felt the same about him. I don't want to be with him anymore. I feel like something changed inside me, that the last time was the last straw, and I can't go back to how I was before, or how I felt before. I want to move on. But after he "changed", I don't know how to tell him I don't love him anymore. I don't know how to say I don't want to be with him, because I know if I do he will just go back to how he was and not feel like it is worth changing for anyone after me. What do I DO? more

Resolved Question: I hate my job what should i do?

I hate my job. I am a custodian at a middle school. I work 10am to 630 pm monday through friday. I get paid decent money ($11.17 an hour) and i like having off on the weekends its just that it pretty much takes up my whole day. I really want to go to college to be a kindergarten teacher but i dont have time. Plus my boss wont allow me to change my hours around to help me go to school. She says i have to switch to a 3rd shift position but that could take awhile waiting for a position to open up. My boss takes off weeks at a time and i am left by myself to run the entire school. I dont like being looked down upon just because of my job. thats how i am treated by teachers and staff because i am a janitor. I think i am doing pretty well for myself though. I am 21 and I have my own house and am about to get married. Which is another problem. I asked my boss to have off december 16 through the 26 because my fiance and i wanted to go on a disney cruise and get married in the bahamas. he said he will have to think about it because we have programs we have to set up that week and he cant do it himself. which i understand. what i dont get is how he can leave me for 2 weeks to run the school all by myself and that is fair but i cant go away to get married and him be alone. Its like i have to get an okay from him to be able to get married. I would say okay im going to just go and deal with the consequences later, but my boss can be a real jerk and i will pay for it later. He always gives me the shitty end of the deal. I really dont know what to do. I want to better myself and i dont know how to do it. I feel like this job is holding me back in life. what should i do?oh and i have enough vacation time to go away. which i dont get if i have the time why cant i use it. Plus i am giving him a 4 month notice. more

Resolved Question: Is this a good intro to my novel?

The warm summer breeze swept through my tousled dirty blonde hair as I sprinted through the Westfield Plaza parking lot to meet Cassie. Our parents were sending us on a two week cruise to the Bahamas as a High School graduation gift. I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our newfound adulthood and the beginning of our last summer vacation together. This would be the first trip I would ever be taking without adult supervision and the thought of freedom had me more excited than anything else. Although I was eighteen, my parents treated me like a child and never let me go anywhere alone. Since I would be attending NYU in the fall, they must have decided it was time to loosen the reins. With only two days left until our flight to Florida took us to our much anticipated cruise to the Bahamas, we had definitely waited until the last minute to shop for our trip. As I approached the entrance, I spotted my best friend pacing impatiently in front of the soda machines, looking down at her phone. Probably texting me to ‘hurry up’, I silently assumed. Cassie was always impatient; I was always late. We always came shopping together on Sunday afternoons. Other than the fact that this would be our final shopping trip together before we left for college, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the way this day was starting. __________________________________________________________________________________ This is the intro to a novel about a rich girl who is kidnapped by three guys. One of them is really sweet to her and protective because he didnt WANT to kidnap her. They fall in love during a roadtrip where she is held hostage. Tell me what you think more

Resolved Question: Is he an inconsiderate jerk, or is this all in my head? 10 points for any help :( ?

My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship since we both went back to our home states after meeting on vacation. I am deeply in love with him. Okay, here is the problem. Firstly, he always blows me off when I want to talk on the phone or skype. Always without fail. We talk on the phone maybe once every 6 weeks. Seriously. The rest of the time it's texts and facebook. I have not seen him for almost a year. I work constantly, but I always make time to talk to him. I never go out or get to have fun because I am working to save money to move for college, and also to visit him. He tells me he can't visit me because he has no money. We have been fighting a lot because of the distance, so I would say seeing one another is pretty important. So, following his speech to me about how he is mean to me (one thing we argue about) because he's under so much stress from not being able to afford school and not having the money to see me. Of course, I understand. Two weeks later, he enrolls in a $1,000 scuba driving course. I would understand this if perhaps scuba diving was a lifelong dream of his. But in the 4 years I have known him, he has never said anything about it. Never been to a body of water, hasn't even been in a pool. I take it in stride and I don't say anything. A month goes by, he is going to the swim shop every week buying gear and all kinds of stuff. He also buys concert tickets and things like that. I still say nothing. Then he and his friends go on a 2 day trip to some diving spot. I get peeved, say nothing. He just had a 4 day weekend off and spent 3 of those days on vacation 4 hours from his house (I live 8 hours from him) at another dive spot. I am mad and upset and I tell him everything I feel. He gets mad and defensive (like usual) and the conversation ends with him saying he will change. He doesn't. 3 days later, he has blown off another phone call, and as I just find out- he's going on an $800 dive trip to the Bahamas in October. Also- we were supposed to go to a concert together last year, and he promised he wouldnt go without me, but when I couldnt make it- he ignored me all day and then 5 minutes before it started he sent me a text that he went with his friend. He also once left me for his ex girlfriend. The list goes on and on. I want to dump him but I feel bad, because I love him so much, I feel a huge sense of loss about what might have been. What do I do? more

Resolved Question: What is the college for me?

I'm very much intro 3D Modeling and Visual Effects for TV/Film but the scholarship i'm applying for only gives me so much money, $10,000, i went to a college fair that came here, (Bahamas where i live) and i saw several schools, but they are extremely expensive, i just checked out Academy of Art and they are like $20,000. Please does anybody know of any schools that have what i'm interested in under $9,500, i want to go next year september, please help me. Schools in The U.S. more

Voting Question: How can I make a long distance relationship work?

My boyfriend and I recently broke up and I feel very free and thought my life was going to be like that forever. Right after the break up I went on a family vacation to the bahamas and sure enough hung out with a long time family friend. I have known him forever but this is the first time I have seen him in about four years and now I have found a new attraction towards him. The whole vacation we were always together and I figured this would just be a summer fling but now being home I am realizing how much I miss him. We are always chatting on facebook and telling each other how much we miss each other. I really wanna relationship but I'm in high school and he is going to his first year of college this year not to mention we live very far apart. I really want a long distance relationship but I don't wanna be really froward about it. I want some tips on how to make him want one too and what I should do all together! Keep in mind I really like him. more

Resolved Question: Are there any cruises from the US that stay at/travel around Puerto Rico only?

My boyfriend and I would like to spend a week during our college winter break this year to travel to Puerto Rico. He has Puerto Rican heritage but was born and raised in the US so he's never gotten to see his native land, which I am very eager for us to do. Most of the cruises we've researched do a Caribbean routing--that is, some of them include Puerto Rico for 12 hours up to a day of the ship docking at the port before they move on to other Carribbean islands like the Bahamas and St. Maarten's. My question is, are there any cruises that only do Puerto Rico? Maybe with the exception of one other island? We want as much time as we can in Puerto Rico. We're choosing a cruise because none of us know anybody in the island who we can stay with, and we also don't want to be spending on additional hotel stays and food. Thanks a lot! more

Resolved Question: A few questions and women for girls and any advice or tips would be good.preferences?

What do you guys look for in a guy really?I am 18 6 foot 5 and have have a clean shave because soon im going to be a volunteer firefighter and hopefully become a professional later on.Do you girls like guys with chest hair or not?I seriously cannot go anywhere without a lot of people staring at me I guess it is because my size and height because I have no looks at all tbh lol. I have been working out for two months now I look average for my height but I plan on becoming a athlete with 8-16 percent body fat and 210-215 pounds within two years.What clothes do you guys prefer on men?Stay away from the shirts with sayings on them or what?most of the time I am wearing beach shorts sandals and a shirt with a saying on it that matches.If I can get the money hopefully around 400-500 dollars I am thinking of having my cousin and all of her friends go to the mall with me and give me a style or fashion make over basically lol probably sit down and give me tips on how to improve myself in everyway possible.hopefully all of us will have fun to at the mall or house.Any tips or advice oh and btw I have adhd even though I am really shy I am always hyper and can't stop talking.I know low self esteem is bad but I can't help it I member some blonde chick made eye contact with me several times and kept smiling and talking to her friend then took a picture of me about a week ago...That ruined me it does everytime that happens lol I interpret it as a very bad thing.I am one of the nicest guys ever to I love to help people to the best of my ability.I remember last week getting out of the car and pushing another guys car 150-160 feet to a parking lot off a packed road then for some reason passed out when I got home I guess I had low calorie intake and over exerted myself.It's amazing how so many people won't help each other there was probably at least 100+ cars that passed and not one helped there was a few college kids shouting at us saying nice care since the bmw probably was 50k+.I also believe in at least trying to accomplish my dreams such as being a professional firefighter and have a house and be stable for 6-12 months then have a kid or two that I know I can support if my future wife stays at home and also as a firefighter i will have 24 on 48 off so i can spend time with my family more pick my kids up from school play football or do whatever with them.I will be one of those dads that will go with there kids and jump off bridges if he wants me to come with him.I have my life planned out already basically become a professional firefighter buy a house maybe a boat have a stable income and know that i can support my wife an kids and have enough money to go out and have fun then after 25 years of being a firefighter retire then become a Therapist to help people with emotional problems since I have been through so much and still going through some.Hopefully I will have my retirement check from a pro fireman coming in and I will be making 100+ a hour as a therapist so we would be very good on cash kids would be grown and in college and we could travel anywhere the bahamas to the beaches or to London England on the 4th of July.I am also one of the most sensitive guys there is to.Any advice or tips?I would appreciate it very much!I live in Florida also so that explains a little bit of the shorts and sandals its so hot down here.Have a happy 4th of July and I wish you the best of luck in life!I also apoligize for the wall of text and bad grammar please forgive me :). more

Resolved Question: Should I feel guilty for getting a Social Security check when the only tax paying job I ever had was in prison?

To avoid the draft and the Vietnam War, I stayed in college until my student deferment can out then skipped out and spend four years in Mexico until Carter let me come home. After that is got busted by the Coast Guard for running pot on the sailboat my dad left me and went to Federal Prison in Atlanta for 39 months. While in prison I worked in the print shop where they cut taxes from my little check. The DEA confiscated my boat but my girlfriend, a dance major, bought it back at auction with money we stashed from the smuggling enterprise. After I got out of the joint we lived on the boat, knocked around the Bahamas where I played music in the bars and she would dance in the topless clubs when we need more cash. We ended up in Cape Coral Florida where she opened a dance studio for kids. One of her student's mom was friends with Jeb Bush and she managed to have Jeb arrange a pardon for me through his brother President Bush. I turned 62 a while back and got a letter from Social Security telling me that I qualified for Social Security. I thought it was a mistake but I had enough quarters from prison to quality so I took it. Considering that I was a draft evader, draft dodger, convicted felon (pardoned) and never paid anything into the system except my prison job, I felt sort of guilty but I got over it. Should I feel guilty considering how hard so many of you work to support me? more

Resolved Question: Am I certifiably Insane?

Well I guess the title can be a little bit misleading, but ever since I lived in Japan I changed. Now, I'm not saying that it was Japan that changed me but something turned over. I started viewing the world differently. Things that people believed, I thought of it from a different perspective and I started to see how ludicrous it was. Be it Religion, Laws, School, EVERYTHING. Let me give you some background first, Im considered a genius (yes, I know, everyone is now days) I was tested by a professor, at the request of my school and I rates 2 points over a genius(as much as I hate this type of generalization I think it is somewhat relevant. This may have, or not, contributed to my problem. Ok, back to the present. They way I see it, there is no such thing as countries, states, counties, etc. There is only animals and earth, nothing else. So I will start with laws. The way i see it, NO Human being has ANY right to say what another human can do. First, I know that Murder is probably the first thing that pops up in your head, however, if someone really wants to kill someone, they will do it anyways. People do not fear jail, that is painfully obvious. Onto drug laws, Yet again, I believe, no matter how bad a drug may be for someone, that no human has any right to say what another human may or may not consume. Do you not find it somewhat weird that if a government gets a study saying that drug use goes down that they say they need to spend more to ensure that they dont lose their gain, and when drug use goes up, they say they need to spend MORE to curb it? Its just not something within their natural boundaries. If someone wants to do a drug, they will do it, regardless if it is 'illegal' or not. Its an uphill battle on a wet, slippery slope. Now, Education in messed up, it always has been. Ever since I got to high school, I lost complete interest in school. I stopped learning, reading out of a textbook is not learning, it is copying and reciting. Think parrot. Also, I strongly believe that it is impossible to decrease all facets of Intelligence down to a single letter, or a number. Its just Impossible. Example: according to my high school, I am Stupid. My GPA is around the 1 range. I have shot down all hopes to a college straight out of high school. But i guarantee that I am smarter than 95% of the people that have higher grades than me. I ace my tests, but do ZERO homework. This can easily be perceived as laziness, and perhaps it is, but I digress. I will skip religion because that debate has been beaten to death, and it gets nowhere. When I sit in a classroom and I look around, I am disgusted. I see animals, covered in makeup, with views embedded into their mind. Views on what is right, what is wrong, and everything in between. Example: It is commonly accepted that spiders are scary, while dogs are not. This is just because spiders are different and is something we cannot relate to, while dogs are something easy to attach to. Even tho dogs cause amount to exponentially more attacks than spiders. Anyways, I see everyone sitting in class and there is an accepted line. You cant cuss, Why? because that exact array of letters and vowels is considered vulgar. It seems like everything we do in life is trying to hide one fact, we are just animals. There is no love, only lust. We try to hide our desires and everything that drives us through clothes, makeup, actions, everything. Everything boils down to 2 things. Sex and survival. Another thing i have realized is that I have only one life on this earth and I do not wish to waste it working until I'm 60. I will consider my life complete when i have traveled this world. When I say travel I do not mean cruising to the Bahamas for some R&R on a beachfront resort. I want to walk, walk as far as I can, I want to see the world for what it is. You may say I need money for this, but the earth is more than capable of supporting a human who knows how to utilize it. I believe that modern life has dulled mans senses. We are a confused and lost species.I find it hard now to connect with people just because my views. I cannot connect with people because i do not buy into what they do. Now, it would be easy to chalk this up as teenage angst, but I am a very self aware person, I would know when i was just complaining and when I truly do not agree with what is going on around me. So I guess I don't really have a question, rather, I am asking for insight. more

Resolved Question: It's bugging me again, he doesn't want to have children...?

for AT LEAST another 3 years and I am ready to start by the end of this summer. I will soon be 21, and my husband of 3 years will soon be 22. We have been together for 5 years already. I do understand I should probably finish school first, (I have 2 more to go). However, next summer I will be 23 and want to conceive so I can give birth right after graduating college with my bachelors degree. This is my body, and because I want 3 children I want to start young so I can have a good chance at having 3 healthy children and my body can be more elastic to get back in shape. I understand his feelings and of course I want him to want children as well, but I know I cannot wait 3 years which is more like 4 by the time the child would come, it's not a compromise at all. Also, he says he want to wait because he thinks we are too young (he would be 24 & I would be 23 when the baby would come after graduation). We got married at 18 and 19, which was a young eage to get married, so if we were mature enough for this, I feel he should be ready for a child 3 years after marriage. He also talks of financial concerns and the want to travel. We have already been to Mexico, Bahamas, Maine, New Hampshire, & we will soon be going to Brazil where his family is for almost two weeks! Any advice for me would help, whether your a guy and explaining how you feel my husband feels about the situation, or if your a woman who feels how I do and how you cope? more

Resolved Question: Case Study-illness after cruise?

Bob and his wife Betty go on a long deserved cruise after putting 3 children through college. Their 7 day August trip visits many of the islands in the Bahamas. While on their sruise they have many delicious buffets, meet a lot of interesting people from all over the world, and they spend their time swimming and relaxing in the hot tub followed by cooling off in their air conditioned stateroom. Bob enjoys an evening drink with his cigarette, although neither is an overindulgent habit. After returning from this vacation, Bob begins to feel ill. His symptoms include: dirrhea,malaise, diffuse myalgias, and generalized weakness. He is bothered by headaches and recurrent chills with a fever that reaches 104 degrees F. A cough then develops producing grayish and occasionally blood-streaked sputum. The doctor tells Bob that he has acute bronchopneumonia. Upon culture, an aerobic gram-negative bacillus is found. The chest x-ray shows patchy, localized infiltration. Auscultation reveals fine crackles. His blood test show leukocytosis and an increased sedimentation rate. What could be Bob's diagnosis? What is the causitive agent? What test could be performed to confirm diagnosis? Thanks for your help! more

Resolved Question: What should I do about my parents and is my fiancee right?

About a year ago I lent my parents money that I had saved for my college tuition, with the agreement that they'd pay me back, when I asked for it back they basically told me to F-off and my mom said "I waited 20 years to get my master's why can't you wait". So I ended up missing my semester of classes. Anyway because I'm a forgiving person my fiancee and I have offered to take them with us on a trip to the Bahamas. We are buying the plane tickets- $2,200.00 and just asking them to pay for the rental car we use while we're there- $350.00-for the whole week and 500.00 for the hotel stay for the week. Well they are giving me the run around again and so I am considering getting a legal agreement drawn up so they have to sign saying they will pay for such and such during the trip. My mother is working full time and so is my dad, they are making more than enough money so it's not like they are broke or something. Anyway I just want to know should I have cut my ties with them a year ago after they did that with my tuition (that i worked and saved for) or should I give them one more chance by asking them to sign a legal agreement and if they don't just give up on them? They've always been violent and judgmental, but I feel like I owe them for being my parents, but now my patience is wearing thin and I'm beginning to think it's not worth hanging on to them if they keep disrespecting me and acting this way. And is my fiancee right? He is telling me it's time to put my foot down and stop letting them step on me, but in the culture I was brought up in parents aren't suppose to respect their kids and can do whatever they want and say whatever they want to their kids whether it's good or bad... more

I have a couple questions but would really appreciate any and all information you can give me...so here goes: 1. Travel Agent? Pros and Cons of using one to book my cruise and flight threw. If not a travel agent then what about travelocity and all those sites? 2. How does booking a cruise work? Can I put down a deposit in advance to assure my spot on the cruise and then pay the rest on a future date? 3. What are the hidden charges on Royal Caribbean? 4. What exactly does "inclusive" mean? 5. Ive read that insurance is optional. What exactly is the insurance they are talking about and would you recommend it? 6. Excursions and booking them...are they worth it, how do I book them, how much are they about, and are they worth it? Oh and which ones would you recommend? 7. I love jet skiing and read that a lot of the islands offer jet skiing. In nor and so cal for one hour of jet skiing it costs between 60 and 80 to rent one for an hour. Is this the same over there? 8.

Voting Question: Do I fit your expectations of a lazy, tax evading, freeloading Liberal convicted felon?

I went to college in the 1960's on the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program. I stayed in school until the free money ran out but earned a BA in Philosophy. When they made me leave school I got drafted. I tried to tell them that I was gay but they didn't believe me and sent me to Basic Training. To get out of the Army I shot myself in the foot with an M16 rifle and they had to discharge me. I told them that it was an accident but they didn't believe me so I sued them and they had to give me a partial disability for the missing toe. My father died and left me his 36 foot Alberg Sailboat which I moved onto along with my college girlfriend, Sophie. I started smuggling marijuana with the boat and got away with it for several years. One night the Coast Guard busted me as I was entering Destin Pass with a load of good Panama Red and they sent me to Federal Prison for four years. The DEA confiscated the boat but I had Sophie but it back at auction with money we had stashed from the pot running. Sophie stayed on the boat until they released me. While in prison they taught me computer graphics and I worked in the prison printing shop. When I got out of the joint I bought a Mac and began making fake ID cards for college students and fake papers for the Haitians in South Florida. I made good money doing this and saved enough over time for an extended cruise to the Bahamas and points south. I played music in the bars for extra money and since Sophie was a dance major in college she would sometimes dance at the topless clubs, sometimes knocking down a grand in one night. We kept this us for several years until my Uncle died and left us a little house on a canal in Cape Coral, Florida. We left the boat there and took off to "see America" in a camper van. We would stop in various cities and rent a Home Away motel. Sophie would dance when neccessary and I would play a few gigs at the bars. We ended up in Berkeley and rented a small apartment and Sophie danced while I finished my Masters in Philosophy. We went back to Cape Coral where I gave sailing lessons for the tourists and Sophie opened a dance studio teaching the rich folks kids modern dance and ballet. One of Sophie's little student's Mom was friends with Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida. She liked Sophie and Sophie gave the daughter free lessons in return for her having Jeb arrange a pardon for me through his brother, George W. Bush so now I have a clean record. I turned 62 last year and got a letter from the Social Security Administration saying that I could start collecting my benefits. I thought it was a mistake since I had never had a real tax paying job but it turned out that I had paid taxes on my prison salary and did qualify. They now send me a check. I was recently offered a job with the State of Florida teaching Philosophy at the State Prison as part of a State/Federal college program for inmates. The director of the program is an old friend I met in the joint. I don't think that I will take it because any earned income above $12,000 penalizes by Social Security money so I will probably just help Sophie around the dance studio, maybe teaching guitar to the kids and be a mentor to them as best I can. But after meeting Gov. Bush I got interested in politics and worked as a volunteer on the Obama campaign. Several of our friends are encouraging me to run for Mayor of Cape Coral, Florida and I am considering it. My platform will be simple. I have nothing to hide. Good honest government.

Resolved Question: Do I seem like a dope smuggling, lazy, welfare loafing Liberal to you?

I went to college in the 1960's on the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program. I earned a degree in Philosophy and stayed in school until the free money ran out. I got drafted in 1967. I tried to convince the Army man that I was gay but he did not believe me. They sent me to Basic Training at Fort Gordon Georgia and I shot myself in the foot with an M16. It blew part of my little toe off and they had to discharge me. I told them that it was an accident and they didn't believe me so I got a lawyer and sued them. They had to give me a partial disability check. My dad died and left me his 36 foot Alberg Sailboat which Sophie and I lived on. I started smuggling marijuana into the Gulf Coast of Alabama but got caught by the Coast Guard after a few years and sent to Federal Prison for 36 months. The DEA confiscated my boat but I had my girlfriend buy it back at auction with money we had stashed from the pot running enterprise. While in prison I learned computer graphics and after I got out we took the boat to South Florida where I used my new skills to make fake ID cards for college students and fake papers for Haitians. My beautiful mixed race girlfriend Sophe was a dance major in college and she would dance at the topless clubs in Key West a fews nights a week, cash of course. She could knock down a grand per night sometimes. We saved a pretty good nest egg from the ID business and the dancing and left for the Bahamas. We knocked around the islands for several years where I would play guitar in the bars and and Sophie would dance occasionally so we had an easy fun life of boat living and partying. I even got to sit in with Jimmy Buffett one night at the End Of The World Bar. We finally came back to Florida where my uncle had left me a little house on a canal in Cape Coral. We left the boat, Sophie's Choice, and hit the road in a camper van. We spent a lot of time in Berkeley where I played in bars and Sophie danced while I finished my Masters in Philosophy. The government paid my tuition through a rehabilation program for convicted felons. We finally made it back to Cape Coral where I gave sailing lessons to tourists (cash of course) and Sophie started a dance studio, teaching the little girls of the rich folks modern dance and ballet. One of her student's mom was friends with Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida, and he arranged a pardon for me through his brother George W. Bush. Time went by and I turned 62 last year. I got a letter from Social Security and thought it was a mistake since I had never had a legitimate tax paying job. But it turned out that I had just enough quarters from working in the prison printing shop to qualify so I took it. I have been offered a job teaching Philosophy for the Florida State Prison System, a Federal/State college program for inmates. The director is an old friend from Federal Prison, another ex-pot smuggler. Its not too bad a drive over to Punta Gorda and it might be pretty fun teaching those guys an Ethics course. But maybe not. I have come this far without seeing my name on a W2 form, except the one from prison, so maybe I'll just give some more sailing lessons now and again. But since President Bush restored my voting rights I have become intersted in politics. I was a volunteer for the Obama campaign and thinking about running for Mayor of Cape Coral, Florida. more

Resolved Question: Republicans: Do I fit your idea of the lazy, dope smoking, welfare loafing Liberal bum?

I went to college on the Basic Educational Grant Program in the 1960's. I stayed in school, earning two degrees, until the money ran out. Then I got drafted into the Army. I tried to tell them that I was gay but they did not believe me. During Basic Training at Fort Gordon, I shot myself in the foot with an M16 and blew part of my little toe off so they would let me out, which they did. Vietnam had to do without me. They didn't believe that it was an accident so I hired a lawyer and sued them. They ended up having to give me a partial disability. My girlfriend was a dance major and she paid my tuition to the University of Miami by dancing at topless clubs a few nights per week. I earned a Masters Degree in Philosophy. My father died and left me his 36 foot Alberg Sailboat which Sophie and I lived on. We started running pot to the Gulf Coast of Alabama and got away with it for several years. Then I got caught and sent to the Minimum Security Prison near Atlanta for 36 months where I learned graphic arts and computer design on the public nickel. The DEA had confiscated the boat but I had Sophie buy it back at auction with pot money that we had stashed before the Coast Guard busted me. When I got out of the joint I started a business making fake ID cards for college students and fake papers for the Haitians in the area. This was all cash of course. I am a pretty decent guitar player so we left South Florida on the boat and knocked around the Bahamas for a few years, playing in bars for tourists and Sophie would dance occasionally for extra pocket money. She could knock down a grand per night sometimes. We eventually came back to Cape Coral where my uncle had left me a little house on a canal so we could dock the boat, then knocked around the country, spending a lot of time in San Francisco and Mexico where the living was cheap. We made it back to Cape Coral and I started giving sailing lessons to tourists, cash payment of course. I turned 62 last year and got a letter from the Social Security Administation. I thought that it was a mistake since I had never had a legitimate job. But it turned out that I had just enough quarters of work from my time working in the prison printing shop to qualify. So now I get a check each month. It isn't much so don't worry. I splice in with a few guitar gigs and we do ok. I was recently offered a teaching job at the Florida State Prison as they are looking for someone to teach an ethics course in their Philosoply Department. The director of the program was in Federal Prison with me those many years ago. But I would have to drive quite a bit to teach the classes so I don't think I'll do it. We don't really need the money as Sophie teaches the rich folks kids over in Ft.. Myers modern dance and ballet. So there you have it. I have never had a real job. I was educated mostly at government expense and with untaxed money from Sophie's topless days, was a convicted felon until Jeb Bush pardoned me (one of Sophie's ballet students parents were friends with Jeb). I never paid a dime into Social Security until they locked me up and now I get a check. Please don't hate me. I paid my debt to society. more

Resolved Question: Republicans: Will you make me your poster boy for the lazy, dope smoking, welfare collecting Liberal?

Allow me to confess my sins. I went to school on the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program. I sold pot on the side for fun money. They paid my tuition and I stayed in school studying Philosophy and Anthropology until the money ran out but I did earn two degrees. I got drafted into the Army and then shot myself in the foot to get out and not be sent to Vietnam. I told them that it was an accident but they didn't believe me. So I got a lawyer and sued them. Now I get a partial disability check from the VA. My dad died and left me his 36 foot sailboat. I used it to smuggle pot onto the Gulf Coast but got caught and went to Federal Prison for 36 months. The DEA confiscated the boat but I had my girl friend buy the boat back at auction with money was had stashed from the drug running. While in prison I learned computer graphics on the government nickel. After they let me out they sent me to Vocational Rehab and I got more training in graphic arts. Then I started a business making fake ID cards for LSU students so they could get into bars and such. Then later I made fake Green Cards for Mexicans. I never reported any of this income, always being paid in cash. I am also a pretty decent guitar player and knocked around South Florida and the Bahamas for years, living on the boat, playing in the bars for tips and hooking up tourists with the local Bahamian boys so they could get some smoke while on vacation. I never sold it myself. Learned my lesson and paid my debt to society. The boys just tipped me for my trouble. Things continued on like this until last year when I turned 62. I never had a legitimate tax paying job in my life but got a letter in the mail from the Social Security Administration. I thought it was a mistake but it turned out that while I was in the joint, they were cutting taxes on the money they gave me to work in the prison printing shop. I had just enough quarters in to qualify for Social Security so I get a check each month. I have since redone the old boat, The Chong, and give some sailing lessons for tourists down here in Cape Coral, Florida. Somewhere in there I managed to go back to school and finish my MA in Philosophy. My girl friend was a dance major in college and she would dance at the topless clubs a few nights a week and paid my tuition to the Univsersity of Miami for my Masters. Recently I was offered a job at the State Prison teaching Philosophy to the inmates as part of a Federal/State college program. They are looking for someone with my credentials. My Masters Thesis was On Situational Ethics In Modern Society. The salary isn't bad but I don't know. It would require me to drive a long way three days a week and it will interfere with my fishing. And maybe I'n not really the right guy for the job. Do I meet your expectations? more

Resolved Question: Girlfriend Issues/problems?

So I have a girlfriend who is a Junior, Im a Freshman In college and weve been going out for 1 year and 6 months. Lately it has been really rough because she has been very clingy, and eventually that led to her cheating on me (wasnt too much of her fault, the guy kissed her but she led him on), and then I gave her one last chance to redeem herself and stay with me by stopping the clingyness (at least a little), and stopping talking to the kid who kissed her. She told me she would do this and that it would really change this time (I have told her many times before she needs to change or this wont work out, but this time I was really serious about it) So I was going to the Bahamas in the next couple days for four days. The second night of the Bahamas she got really upset with me. I was hanging out with a couple of friends who my dad just met at the bar in the hotel/resort, and they were all about ten years older than me (nothing to worry about). So I tell my girlfriend this and she gets very upset because she thinks for some reason I am flirting with them/we are doing something, despite the fact that I tell her nothing is going on, my dad is the one they are really talking to, and they are unattractive and ten years older than me. Eventually she understands, but it takes the whole night for me to explain the situation to her which seems a little absurd considering the cirumstances. After this, the next day, I talk to her and check my Facebook, and see that she sent me many hateful messages, some relating to the girls my dad met, and other of just random jealousy as normal. She tells me she sent them because she thought the girls were my age, and I was lying to her, because I just added a girl on facebook who was my age, but I told her she should be able to trust me, especially for me trusting her and giving her another chance. So we talk alitte more, and she still seems to act a little clingy, and I understand but then again it IS my vacation, it was only four days, and I wanted to enjoy it with my dad. So that night I went to a club to jsut chill and out relax. Im kind of confused on the days of when she said she 'trusted me' to go to the club and not do anything, but I did, I would say for several reasons. first off, I felt suffocated, and I felt that if she couldnt do the simplest things I asked her (trust me, stop being clingy) then why should I do what she asks me? Also, if shes the one who cheated on me in the first place, dont you think I deserve a littler break? I also wasnt definitely going to hook up with anyone, but didnt limit myself because I jsut coudlnt stand the constant clingyness and didnt know what to do, after talking to her day after day about it, and she still never seemed to make any progess. If she did make progress, it was only for a little while, then she went back to being just as clingy. So after I did this I waited to tell her when I got back, we talked, and eventually after I told her I hooked up with a couple of girls she was understanding about it, I thought. We hung out that day, everything seemed fine, and then at night, one of the girls I just 'pop kissed' found me on facebook and she commented and said she had a good time. Obviously, my girlfriend wasnt too happy so she flipped and got all mad at the girl, but eventually, surprisingly enough, they became what seemed to be good firends just that night after talking and understanding what really went on. the next day, my gf came over to my house after school, and as she has done many times before, tried looking at my texts. I have told her multiple times that if she really trusts me and wants to be with me she shouldnt have to do that, and the only way I can see how to stop her is to take the phone away and say trust me, im your boyfriend, if you want this to work out you need to trust me. So that is what I did. After this, she got really upset with me and decided that I was emotionally cheating on her with the other girl, which was not really true; we flirted a little, but nothing big, I was just still confused with my relationship. but I told her after she got upset that she could look at the texts, I gave her my phone, and then she ignored me. We went for a long walk, talked about alot of things that happened in the past, and eventually she mentioned how she couldnt stand the fact that I had to be friends with the girl I kissed in the Bahams and it just hurt too much. I normally would be understanding about this but the thing is every girl I have ever become friends with or known that is around my age she has had a problem with, and either given them a hard time or told me to stop talking to them, or both. So I considered this and told her she was a really cool girl (the girl i met in the bahamas), and that i still wanted to talk to her just as friends, but i wouldnt not talk to her half as much as i talked to my gf, and she could check everything I sent to her and she sent to m more

Resolved Question: why doesn't my mother love me.?

I got in trouble for associating with this one girl I met this year. We had a bad influence on each other, and we both ended up cutting and I found myself talking about depression, anxiety, suicide frequently. This girl's friend got a hold of a letter she had written to me, turned it in to the school counselor, and our parents were notified. I was called down twice to counseling during the school day, but that was it. This girl who I had met had an anxiety disorder, and was constantly visiting the guidance office, a therapist outside of school, and took meds for it. Now, I have stopped cutting, stopped associating with this girl, although she is in a few of my classes, and stopped seeing any mental school psychologists. I am not messed up. I am a normal teenager, and this girl dragged me down with her. I have been a straight A student my whole life, started kindergarten a year early, play 1st chair violin, and am a good athlete in soccer, running, swimming, and gymnastics. Meanwhile, my dad's friend works at the school. He told me, jokingly one night that he was going to "check up on me with the school principal". I, laughingly agreed and said "you won't find anything bad", thinking he was just going to see if my grades were good, etc. He comes up the following week and says "I need to have a talk with you. I've heard you've been making some bad friend choices lately"...so on and so forth. I realized then that my principal, and now my dad's friend knew about this "friend situation". And to add to it, my dad told me that school records couldn't be burned for 99 years and this cutting thing will be on there, which may affect college. Just yesterday, my social studies teacher caught this girl passing notes to me (I didnot agree to passing notes) and said "ladies, I will not have you writing any more letters to each other". Im wondering if he knew about the letter. My mom took my facebook/gmail accounts and reset the passwords. She monitors everything I write, and everything I text. I got into a huge argument with my mom and ACCIDENTALLY kicked a hole in the wall. My phone is taken away, and I am grounded for the rest of spring break. The hole I fixed, and I have been doing chores, being helpful around the house, and this morning I bring in the newspaper, read the comics, and leave it on the kitchen counter. Because it was scattered in about 5 sections, my mom got all heated up.and. canceled my plans, I am now spending the evening with my grandparents, no phone, no computer, church all evening. before she left and went out the door, my mom: "why does everyone wish they had a daughter. i want everything my way, and god dammit, no one gives me what i want. i dont love you, i dont love your father, and since he's gone i have to spend a whole entire godawful weekend with you little shit." why does she not love me. what am i supposed to do. i am extremely sad, my dad is in the bahamas, i have no one to talk to. no one. no phone, no house phone, no leaving the house, no computer, no siblings at home. i dont know what to do. i dont know where to go. my friends wonder where i am. i hate this. anything? more

Resolved Question: Advice on how to let him know how sorry I am and get past this.?

My husband and I met in our junior year of high school and dated all through college. We had both decide to wait tell marriage to have sex. Well at least that was the original plan and I totally agreed. But my friends kept telling me that I should have sex with at least one other person to prevent me from wondering my whole life about being with someone besides my husband. Also they pointed out that losing my virginity on my wedding night could really ruin the mood with the pain and blood the first time. That I might even have to wait a few days after the first night to have sex again. Which would really put a damper on the honeymoon mood. At the time it all made sense and sounded like smart idea. But hind sight is 20/20 and dummy me I went ahead and had sex with a old friend that had always wanted to with me. I knew it would be safe since he was already married and it would be just a one time thing we both agreed and he made me promise to never tell his wife. Like I would no way and told him the same went for him. Since he never used condoms with his wife we didnt have any to use and figured I was safe time of the month. I was wrong so know find myself pregeant on top of everything else. Ok if all this was not bad enough my new husband found out about this somehow at our reception after the wedding. He didn't even mention it again tell we were at the hotel in the bahamas. I knew something wasn't right after the reception and flight to bahamas but thought he was just tired. When he confronted me I told him the truth and used the logic that had convinced me that it was a good idea. That had done it really for the two of us so that our honeymoon wouldn't be messed up with me being a virgin that first night and possibly not being able to have sex for a few days because of the first time pain. Well as can guess that didn't go over very well. We spent the two weeks in the bahamas and you can guess was about the worst two weeks of my life. Our talking amounted to more of what going to do that day to pass the time and none of that involved any sort of physical contact and definetly no sex. It wasn't tell missed my period the last few days of our honeymoon it should have started or shortly after got back that found out was pregenant. My husband has moved into the house that his grandparents gave us for wedding gift. I still am staying at my apartment for the moment. He says that we will work through this and that I am not to abort the baby since its not the babies fault. But he does not seem sincere in the working through it. He is very anti abortion and says that if I were to abort the baby that would be the last straw. So think he is really just trying to work through this for the baby even though it is definetly not his. One of my friends says that should just take one of those morning after pills that this early it will just cause me to miscarry the baby and my husband would just think I lost it. I am so confused right now I love him so much and really did do this for him, well not the get pregenant part. more

Voting Question: Hi, I'm looking to become an officer in the United States, but here's the thing I live in The Bahamas.?

Ok, I'm a college student at the moment but here's the thing, I want to take a bit of time off and serve as a law enforcement official. It would be great if someone would tell me all the necessary steps needed to become an officer in the U.S, so that I can make plans and gather all the necessary documents to get my self established and ready to go. Thanks Kendrick. more

Resolved Question: Should I continue to deceive her.?

This is suppose to be the best time in my life. Just got married about 3 weeks ago and had just returned from honeymoon about a week ago. But that is not what has or is occurring. We are both in our early 20s and had dated since high school and through college. Though we had dated that long we both wanted to wait tell marriage for sex. Well at least that is what I thought and was true tell about a few weeks before our wedding. What have come to find out is that my wife's, so called Friends, convinced her that being a virgin on our wedding night would just make it uncomfortable. They suggested that she lose her virginity so that all the pain/discomfort of losing it would not be there for the beginning of our honey moon and thus she could have more enjoyment. She agreed and had sex a old friend, as she has put it was just sex and nothing more. Well it was more because I found out about this right after the wedding at reception by overhearing a couple people talking. I asked my new wife and she broke down and told me the entire truth that night when we arrived in the bahamas for our honeymoon. Well lets just say that pretty much ruined our honeymoon we stayed for two weeks since had already paid for it and took the time off. Did not sleep in the same bed the entire time on our honeymoon. To add more to the problem she had missed her period about week which should have started about the last few days of our trip or shortly after we returned. She did home pregnancy test and found that she is pregnant. Well unless some divine thing occur ed it is impossible for me to be the father since we still have not consummated the marriage. Since our return she has not moved out of her apartment into the house my grandparents gave us as a wedding gift. I have told her that just need time and counseling to get past this. In reality I just can't see get past it and would have already filed for a divorce but she is saying that will abort the child. Which I am totally against abortion and that's when told her that we will get through this. That its not the child's fault and we can over come it. Its not true but do not want to see her kill a baby. So have been planning on starting counseling with her and wait tell she is far enough along or has the baby and then file for divorce. more

Resolved Question: What can I do about my dad?

I'm 20 years old, I'm a college student and i live in the Bahamas. I like to go out but i tend not to make it a habit. I do this out of respect for my parents because i live at home and for the sake of my school work. My father is really strict, like super strict, and sometimes he really treats me like a child. In the Bahamas it isn't normal for someone to leave home before finishing college, actually some people stay in their parents' house for as long as they could (I am not interested in this).. but I know that someone will answer that i should move out but i want you to understand it isn't that easy. Rent here is really only paid by a fulltime job, and i am still a student and i want to finish my program . So I am not asking anyone to tell me to get my own place because as of right now this is out of the question. What i am asking, is if there are any techniques or tips that i can use to get my father to let go a little and stop being so overbearing, it's really stressing me out. Like i said I'm 20 years old, none of my friends have to get into an argument every time they want to go out..so what do i do? more

Resolved Question: Can someone tell me what they think of my college admission essay?

If you have any suggestion please feel free to tell me. Over the past few decades, people have drastically changed the way they choose their career. Times have changed a great deal, and people no longer feel forced into a certain profession. People are now given endless choices and possibilities, and it is up to them to decide what they want to do the rest of their lives. When facing these important decisions, it is very easy to become confused. Fortunately, for myself, I found this decision to be a very easy one. I come from a family of teachers. Therefore, it did not take long to decide that teaching was the career choice for me. After deciding on the education field, I then felt the need to choose a major. I chose high school mathematics because I felt it would allow me to teach a subject that many students of today’s time don’t really grasp as well as other subjects. I have always had a love for knowledge, and for children. I feel that the children of today truly are the future of tomorrow and the creators of what is to come. Children are all too often over looked in today’s society. It is my belief that it is part of a teacher’s job to help children learn how to express their opinions not only in the classroom, but in the real world as well. While attending the College of the Bahamas, I intend to obtain my bachelor’ of education in secondary certification, learn more behavior strategies to improve my classroom management and to continue to embrace cultural diversity. After accomplishing these goals there are many other plans that I plan to live up to. My main goal as High School teacher would be to reach out to as many students as I can. I know that Mathematics can be a difficult subject for some students but when I teach my aim is to show them that they can love learning. I believe that when a child has elevated from a D to a C or B student I can say that I have accomplished my goal. I chose the College of the Bahamas because of many reasons but mainly because it is a chance and opportunity for higher learning, it is close to home and I think that if someone is to be successful in their life they must start at home and then go abroad. more
