Resolved Question: my boyfriend cheated on me last year and I am doubting our relationship. We have been together for 2 years!?

Last year he went to indonesia to go surfing and when he got back i found photos on his computer of two girls and he had taken a close up of one of the girls breast in her bikini top. When I confronted him about them he said that they were just 2 girls that hung out with him and his friends on the last week of there trip but I had suspisions that there was more too it then just that. I was too scared to keep looking at the photos just incase I found something else so I stopped! I always had suspisions that he cheated on me because he only emailed like 5 times in 3 weeks and I got no calls from him and even when he came back to Australia he didnt call me until the next day. I have tried to get rid of him numerous of times but he clings on to me and so I take him back only to find that I want to get rid of him again. So last week I plugged in his memory stick to see what was on it and guess what else I found, I found heaps of photos of chicks (sexual) some that he had taken of girls on the beach (close ups of there arses and tits) and also some of the internet and loads of porn and also (heres the devastating part) a video of a balinese girl touching herself and its just them 2 in the room but the video cuts out so I dont know if they had sex or not but this was from the same trip he went on last year where he hung out with the 2 girls and he told me that him and the guys hired her as a stripper but then why did he end up alone with her? Once again I was afraid to keep looking on so I stopped and have now missed out on anything else that he couldve done with the opposite sex. just too let you guys know he has a high sex drive and when he went on the trip we had been together for a year and now its been 2 (painfull ones I may add). When I told him about what I had found he denied it and said it wasnt fair that I went through his stuff and then came rushing home to find I had packed up my stuff and caught a taxi home. Well guys and gals i should tell yous that I took him back but im not sure whether too stay because im so afraid hell do it again and wreck my heart even though lifes all about learning and shit im unsure whether I want to go through with it. Our current situation is that he wants me to move in but i dont think its a good idea. We both love eachother but I cant forgive, forget, and trust him after all this. I feel he has loads of secrets that hes keeping (womens intuition) and he tells me if I leave him he will go crazy and that he wants to make me trust him. Please help me people im going out of my mind thinking this over and over again. just give me some opinions and fellahs feel free to be brutally honest because if anything yall know him aswell as us gals do!!!!

Resolved Question: Can anyone help with my LIFE PLANNING?(mostly college/university info.)?

Hey. (: A little background information might help you understand what it's like to be in my shoes. I'm half japanese and half american, I currently live in japan. okinawa, japan. maybe you've heard of it on the news lately, about the earthquake? (: im a sophmore in highschool. i'm the oldest of five, and i live in a tiny apartment. i share a room...with the four other siblings :[ i have basically no privacy, and my dad is really weird...i would say he's a jerk, but im pretty sure he's got anger problems and ADD. (ex. once i was stressed out and told my 4 other siblings to go in the living room and play xbox, and they totally understood. then my dad asked what was wrong, and i told him i needed space. he told me, "what? you don't get any privacy in my house! sit down and watch TV!"....wtf?) and everytime i ask to hang out during my free time, or over the weekends, they always find a reason to ground me. (your room isn't clean! [note: when i have 4 other people in "my" room]......wait, you have a C! you're grounded!) they always try to keep me cooped up at home, where i hate it. i'm not a perfect child, but the things they do and the rules they come up with at the top of their hands make little to absoluetly NO sense to me! i actually love, love, LOVE school, i look forward to it everyday, just because i get to see my boyfriend and friends, and most of all just leave the house! so, the only escape from this....stressful life is university, in the states. they want me to go to the naval academy and i just simply do NOT want to go. as stated before, i live in japan, so no matter which university i attend, the tuition i pay will be out of state, which is about 3-5 times the actual tuition for in-state students. so i chose california (: haha idk..i've never been to the U.S., but im familar with american culture, from like TV. (my favorites are Gossip Girl and the Hills, used to be laguna beach (: ) and they just make california look sooo glamourous...it's basically a dream for me to live there. attending university there will be a dream come true... so does anyone wanna help me? maybe you've guessed it, but sharing a room with 4 other siblings doesn't sound like a lot of money in my family, does it? so that's why they want me to attend the naval academy...because once you get accepted, free of tuition. so can anyone point me in the right direction? more

Voting Question: Robert Frost's birches compares tree branches to(Multiple choice)?

A.girls flipping their heads to dry their hair B.kites flying on the beach C.winter's first snowfall D.none of these Here is the poem if you need it: When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy's been swinging them. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay. Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust-- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load, And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm (Now am I free to be poetical?) I should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows-- Some boy too far from town to learn baseball, Whose only play was what he found himself, Summer or winter, and could play alone. One by one he subdued his father's trees By riding them down over and over again Until he took the stiffness out of them, And not one but hung limp, not one was left For him to conquer. He learned all there was To learn about not launching out too soon And so not carrying the tree away Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise To the top branches, climbing carefully With the same pains you use to fill a cup Up to the brim, and even above the brim. Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish, Kicking his way down through the air to the ground. So was I once myself a swinger of birches. And so I dream of going back to be. It's when I'm weary of considerations, And life is too much like a pathless wood Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs Broken across it, and one eye is weeping From a twig's having lashed across it open. I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate willfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree, And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches. more

Resolved Question: What do you think of my book?

this is the first chapter: Harmony Kensington The last thing Harmony Kensington ever pictured herself doing was sitting at the Loser table between the garbage cans and the vending machines at Summerfield High in New York City. Even the slightest thought would make her shudder because Harmony worked so hard to get to be the best of the best, the coolest of the cool, the top dog , alpha, basically popular. To Harmony being popular is way more important than getting at least a B- in algebra or getting on the honors list. It meant to be in control and the thrill Harmony gets when she walks by an un-popular, like Anna Tanner or Billy Bloomington. She can tell that the un-popular get this shrill shiver of fear that runs down their spine as she’s passing by, hoping Harmony or one of her friends won’t notice them. Staring straight at the Loser Table, Harmony Kensington couldn’t blink. The possibility that she could end up at that table by making one single mistake, scared her more than anything. “Harmony, are you coming or not?” Charlotte Hill said eyeing their ‘reserved’ Popular Table that they autographed their names onto with Harmony’s permanent lilac purple sharpie at the beginning of the year. “Yeah, let’s go,” Harmony said shaking out of her trance while tucking her beach blonde hair behind her ears and walked swiftly over to their table. Forgetting the terrible thought she had a little earlier. Charlotte is one of those friends who love the popular perks. The exclusive tables, free lattes, VIP parking once they turn 16 if any of those were ever taken away from her she’d go insane! They arrived at the popular table in the cafeteria, the quaint little sushi bar to the left, and with the jock table to the right. Perfect view! “Charlotte! Harmony! ” Jeremy Hutch waved from the Jock Table. The best looking freshmen, Harmony had been crushing on since seventh grade. Harmony could feel her friend staring her down. She had fortunately learned to avoid the Dork Eye from her friends because if you’re popular and you haven’t asked out a guy, especially one you’ve been crushing on since 7th grade. That spells out the four letter word of doom… D-O-R-K. “Hey Jeremy,” Harmony said doing her best to seem casual. “Did you see those dork pants Bloomington was wearing today? It totally looks like he murdered them in the wash.” Immediately Harmony realized she was a being a bit harsh; but then again she was popular. She could say anything, well almost anything she wanted. “Really? I never saw.” Jeremy stated in monotone as he stared into the distance with a look of confusion on his face. Then he looked back in Harmony’s direction, “did you hear about the dance next month?” He asked quickly, a very sad attempt to change the subject but it worked. “Yeah. The Harvest Dance, right?” Harmony said nodding her head quickly, trying to keep her cool. Even though she wanted to explode with excitement. Imagining what he would say next! It was killing her. There was a long pause. “Spit it out,” Harmony mumbled under her breath. “Huh?” Jeremy asked. “Nothing!” Harmony chimed quickly, “So you were saying?” Her anticipation was building. “Anyways… Yeah, that one” Jeremy took a bite of his apple then set it aside. “It looks pretty lame to me.” Her mouth gaped open. “Very” Harmony smiled, replying quietly trying not to show her disappointment. Just at that moment Charlotte finished talking to Jake Robinson, her boyfriend. They’re on and off. Constantly. “Come on, Harmony. Let’s go.” Charlotte said staring directly into Harmony’s eyes shifting her shoulder in the direction toward their table, urging her to go. Harmony could tell she and Jake had just been arguing, meaning they were off, for now at least. “Okay.” Harmony shrugged. “Bye, Jeremy.” Harmony took her tray and left with Charlotte to find Kaleena Montez and Rachelle Laurent their other best friends. Kaleena is like the lady in the movie Titanic, new to the ways of the rich and nice to poor. Except in this case the poor are the unpopular. Kaleena was recently upgraded to the Glamazons because of her latest nose job making her look like gorgeous Alexi Muniez. A Hispanic actress who is all the rave right now. Rachelle on the other hand, was Harmony's best friend since 2nd grade. Harmony considered Rachelle to be her second in command. Right now Harmony couldn’t think about eating. She emptied her tray into the garbage and Charlotte copied. The girls walked through the large hallway which connected the cafeteria to the school and approached the girl’s washroom to be surprised by an array of bright colors. “We thought this place needed a little color.” Kaleena said with a mischievous grin. “Whatever.” Harmony said to Kaleena with attitude shooing her away. “You’ll never guess what happened, or maybe you will.” She smirked. “Char and Jake broke up… Again” Rachelle patted Charlotte on the shoulder. “Aw, Char pauvre fille, c’est impossible.” Rachelle more

Resolved Question: Help/assistance for broke mentally disabled addict in California?

Hi, I'm not sure where to turn so I'll go to the internet and see if anyone has any advice/knowledge about this sort of thing in California. My 60 year old mother has been plagued by mental disability and severe meth addiction for most of her adult life. About 10 years ago, she cleaned up from the street drugs, but is now, I believe, addicted to painkillers, and her brain is essentially fried from years of drug use (still hallucinates, crazy conspiracy theories, etc.). She actually held a job for a few years about 8 years ago, but when another relative of ours died and left her a substantial inheratance, she got fired/quit/who knows in order to live off the free money she was to receive--of course in her mind the money would never end. I was named the trustee. This inheratance, though substantial, coudl have lasted her about 9 years tops if she was extremely prudent with her money--as it stands, it looks like it will last her about 6-7, and here we are. She is in as bad a shape as she's ever been in, and though I've pleaded with her to get a job for the past decade (honestly my entire life), she is burning through the money so fast without a thought to consequences. I don't believe she'll even qualify for social security because I doubt she has enough quarters. She has honestly never worked for more than 6 months at a time since I've known her, almost 40 years now. She has gotten by on charm and charity, but both wells are drying up for her as she gets older and more tired and has no more stones to bleed. I don't think she could even hold a job at this point as she is just too broken. I'm a new father and my wife and I get by but we just get by and certainly can't support her. Not to mention we live across the country, and at this point, my relationship with her is so shattered, I can't muster the energy to do much besides point her in the right direction at this point, or make some phone calls on her behalf. I've done the rest already for 15+ years, setting her up in countless apartments which she then gets evicted from, flown out there, rescued her from homelessness, etc., given her tens of thousands of dollars for rent, and I just can't do it anymore, particuarly now that I have a new baby. It's not that I won't. I can't. I don't have the time or money anymore. And she couldn't live with us. I wouldn't endanger my child by having her with us, and I honestly don't think my wife nor I could handle it (and we live in a two bedroom if we're talking practicality). She has no other family. Everyone else is dead or has written her off for dead. So that's where we are... What does she have to do to get assistance? Is there anything available for her, and can I call on her behalf? Please understand that she is probably PAST the point of getting a job, though that would be ideal. But who would hire her? I'm pretty sure McDonald's isn't looking for 60 year old ex-meth additcs with no employment history, and I don't even think at this point that she could physically do menial labor... Is there anyone I can call on her behalf who will help her? She lives in downtown Long Beach. I need pracitcal information, preferably from someone in social services or someone who was on the street and has made a better life for themselves. I don't need judgment or sympathy. I just need phone numbers/idea/names of agencies that can help her and what those people can do for her so I can make one final push to get her the help she needs. I would really like her to meet her grandchild someday, but I just don't see how that will be possible if she doesn't get help from someone. Thank you for assisting me on this complicated topic. more

Resolved Question: Story critique needed?? 10pts best answer!!?

What do you think of the following scene? Note: This is not the entire scene, in fact the following pargraphs below start the middle of the scene I'm working on. what can I add or take out to make it better. Suggestions and examples appreciated. ------------------- For a few minutes, I entertain myself with thoughts of Ashley. Always Ashley. Thoughts of our near naked encounter only hours before, here in my room, cause heat to steal into my cheeks , and an even greater heat to ignite between my legs. I close my eyes hard against the memories, and hope that my mother is oblivious to the now increasing redness of my face. My worry quickly dissipates as a quick glance at my mother allows me to see that she appears to be lost in her own thoughts as well. I feign a yawn and free myself from her embrace , ready for the interrogation like conversation to end. This is a common behavior of mine- feigning exhaustion. Whether she has taken notice of it or not is questionable, but I’m sure she has and she simply doesn’t care to make me own up to it. For that, I am grateful. I expect her to hug or kiss me good night now, as she retreats from the confines of my bed, but she does neither. She looks intently at a picture of me and Ashley. Its one of many that frames my night stand. The two of us are on the beach, arms linked, faces alit with laughter at something Josh has said before he snaps the picture, before the three of us rush out into the ocean. On that day I recall the rush of unwelcome emotion I felt when Ashley and Josh waded farther into the cold water together. Fearful of deep water, I opted to stay behind, but I watch them. I watch them, and I see how effortlessly Josh pulls at the straps of Ashley’s halter top bikini until it comes undone and how she just lets him, despite possibly giving everyone in close proximity a show. She presses against him then, kisses him. I should have turned away, but I didn’t. I could have whistled and hollered at them like some of the other patrons nearby. I didn’t do that either. I’ve never felt a pang of envy so strong until then. I wished it were me on the receiving end of that kiss, her lips. That’s when I knew I had fallen for her, when I couldn’t deny it anymore. That’s when everything changed for me. My mother stares at me now, blue eyes piercing, questioning, deciphering. I can sense the change in the atmosphere of my room. The question is on the tip of her tongue, that too I can sense. Are you into girls? I swallow hard, expecting but not expecting. Outside, the roar of an engine dies in the driveway of our house, a car door slams, it’s either my father or Clay. “Carmen, is there anything you want to tell me?” The words sound rehearsed, robotic, and yet a sense of urgency is present as well as a hint of uncertainty. She is unsure if she should voice that she suspects her daughter is a lesbian, but then again she can not help but want to know. No. I can hear the word form inside my head, catch somewhere in my throat. My eyes brim with the distinct burn of unshed tears. “Yes,” I hear myself admit to her, though just barely. My mother catches the words despite how inaudible they seemed to my ears. She nods, remains standing, doesn’t wait for me to find my own words to explain. “ Does it have anything to do with Ashley?” Without delay and straight to the point. Though she tries to mask it, I could hear the contempt in her voice as she says Ashley’s name. “ It has everything to do with me,” I clarify as I sit upright. I can easily see her wanting to blame this on Ashley. In fact, I know she probably does. This upsets me. My mother has always thought that I’d be the most easily influenced, the most susceptible or lured to the unfamiliar, peer pressure. All the things she had worked hard to keep my brothers and I sheltered from prior our move to LA. I’m sure she saw it as some sort of detectable flaw within my character. And now here I was possibly admitting to her that I like girls. She probably prides herself on believing no better of me. My mother recoils slightly at my words, groping for a response. Perhaps she is unsure if she comprehends correctly. I didn’t exactly answer her question, but I didn’t really have to either. She knew. Now, it was just a matter of me confirming it. “So what… are you? Are you a-” “A what mom? You can’t even say it, can you?” I threw these words at her, yell at her, in a mixture of anger, and perhaps shame. Maybe I expect her to be able to say the word because she’s the adult, because she’s my mother. I don’t really know, though I know there was once a time where I myself couldn’t even bring myself to formulate that very same word. Lesbian. I wish, in this exact moment that despite how selfish, ungrateful or insensitive it may sound, that my life were as simple as Ashley’s for she has practically no one to answer to but herself. Her mother isn’t around much and her farther is more

Resolved Question: what do you think of this as a beginning to a book?

so i've remade it now; but i'm not sure if i preferred this one or not? also, this is not the whole of it. but i'm not sure if i can paste the whole thing... don't be too mean :L x Chapter one; My eyes flew open so quickly it was disorientating and, on hearing my mother talking to Dave, I quickly slammed them shut again, not wanting to be drawn into that conversation. I had just awoken from the strangest dream. I was dying to know the time, though my digital batman watch would be totally out. Captiva, Florida, was five hours out from the time in England. I was so not looking forward to the jet lag. Anyhow, I could tell it was still daylight, even with my eyes closed. My head was facing the plane window and through my closed lids I could see a faint, pinkish light. I listened to Dave speaking in hushed tones to my mother, unaware that I was wide awake. “Ronnie, she’ll be fine. You shouldn’t spoil her.” He hissed. “We’ve taken away her home, her friends, her boyfriend-” Mum ranted. She wasn’t pausing to be soothed; she wanted to panic, to be guilty and upset and to feel that she was getting what she deserved. You could say I knew my mother well. “She’s incredibly lucky, you know that!” Dave groaned in frustration, and my mother’s background noise of all the things I had ever lost stopped abruptly. I heard her take a deep breath, and felt the row of chairs shake as she shook herself. “I know. I know that. I guess I’m just worried. Dakota was ecstatic. I can’t fathom why Phoenix responded so differently.” My mum worried. It was a hobby of hers, worrying. Silence ensued her last word, until Dave finally picked out one of his favourite replies to my mother’s constant panicking. “Don’t stress yourself, honey.” David muttered. On paper, I guess those three words, topped with an affectionate nickname, would have been sweet, loving. That’s how my mother heard them. To me, they sounded cold, distant, like a badly delivered line in a play. “Okay. She just needs time.” Mum convinced herself, and was silent. The plane was tipped downwards, preparing to land. My ears popped and a small child in the seat behind me was wailing. It grinded on my nerves- I can’t stand the noise of kids crying. It drives me crazy. I would be such an abusive parent. I almost laughed to myself, and then the flight attendant bustled over to our row and spoke to us. Deciding now was a good time to ‘wake up’; I opened my eyes and blearily looked around myself. The flight attendant was slender with a short blonde bob and a deep tan. Looking closer, I decided that she was definitely not a natural blonde. She looked as if she was in her early twenties and she had dark circles under her made up eyes. There were a few lingering spots from a bad case of acne in her teens, and her lipstick red lips revealed sharp canines. She either didn’t notice my obvious scrutinising or politely ignored it. “We are about to land in Captiva. Please remain seated. We hope you have enjoyed your flight.” She smiled one of those awful, fake, I’m so happy to see you smiles and then trotted off to repeat herself to the next family. My sister, Dakota, another member of the false blonde community, whipped a hairbrush out of her travel bag and pulled it through her soft, knot free hair. You could tell from one look at her perfect, creamy face that she was ecstatic to be here. I wondered if we were even remotely related after all. Sure, it wasn’t that unusual for her to be so happy. I mean, most people would be. Hello? We were moving to Captiva, population five-hundred-and-four, each house valuing at an average of $1,620,631 and home to some of the nicest beaches on the face of this earth. Really, it was me being weird. But I knew I was going to miss England so darned much that it made me want to curl up and die. more

Voting Question: I had a dream and couldn't wake up, any ideas?

It was so weird, I fell asleep in real life around ten, ten thirty, and I remember it was like watching a movie. I walked into someones house with a couple of friends and some lady gave us papers to fill out. Well once that was over everyone crowded into one bed and we all fell asleep. Well I had a dream while I was in that dream(I hope you know what I mean), and while I was in that dream, I realized I was dreaming(Lucid dreaming) because I saw two sinks and then there was one. So I was pinching myself trying to wake myself up but I didn't work, I was stuck. And so this girl realized i was trying to wake myself up when I started slapping my face(Which btw, I was almost awake then) so she attacked me. I spent awhile fighting her off and then I ran to a fimiliar bathroom and locked the door. I could hear her trying to break through so I remembered in a lucid dream, I could close my eyes and imagine somewhere else. So I closed my eyes and pictured a beautiful beach and opened my eyes back up. I was there, and by then I was fully aware that I was dreaming, almost as aware as I would be awake. So I walked the beach and there was a party. I closed my eyes and changed my appearance and body type and my cousin found me. Then we walked to where the people who I fell asleep next to in my base dream and I went to go talk to them, although they didn't realize they were dreaming and soon enough they faded away because they woke up in the base dream. I once again tried to wake myself up but failed so I just walked down the beach til some guy stopped me and told me to go to the opera with him. So since I couldn't really think of anywhere else to go I just went. Well we were at the very top of the theater in the balcony and the girl who tried to stop me from waking up was playing a bird in the play and saw me. Looked me dead in the eye and grinned, and then she landed on the balcony where i just flicked her off(Not in the middle finger way) and then she came back so I took the rope that was holding her up and began to twirl it over and over until she fell out of the harness and onto the floor. I knew she was going to come get me so I closed my eyes and once again imagined myself somewhere else. I made myself go to Germany and walked around this quiet neighborhood until I walked into this large house. A lot of drunks were in there but they were dressed well. I didn't want to be there so I closed my eyes and put myself in a very nice hotel, where I became frustrated and started to try anything to wake up. I began to bang my body everywhere I could because when I felt my shoulder it felt as though there was a bruise there and I was getting worried about what was happening in real life. When I didn't wake up, I pictured an open window, and ran and dove out of it. While I was free falling, the song Running up that hill by Placebo began playing and right when I was going to hit the ground, I finally woke up in the main dream. I was still lucid so I made sure everyone else was up, and I pinched myself about eighteen times before I shot my eyes open in real life. I know this is a lot, but I've had double dreams countless times before, it's just never had I had one where I couldn't get out of it. Is there some kind of meaning? I mean I remember a lot of it perfectly. It's just so weird and I kind of got freaked out. So can you please help with any ideas? I would be extremely greatful! more

Voting Question: What city is right for me?

I’m currently a college student living in Tampa, FL at my parent’s house while I am getting my degree. I am almost finished with school and I was thinking of cities I would like to move to, because Tampa is not a place I like very much. Tampa isn’t a place where you can get around without a car like you can in Boston, New York City, or any other major cities up north. This is a major importance to me, because I don’t like to drive. If I could I wouldn’t drive. Tampa’s is lacking in public transportation. I don’t see them doing anything about it either, because people here aren’t really willing to invest in a good public transportation system (they like their cars too much). There really isn’t that much to do here too, well what I like to do. The only thing to do here really isn’t something I enjoy doing. That is going to the beach. I am not found of doing that because I hate getting all sandy and burnt (curse my Irish skin). What I am looking in a city other than public transportation is good shopping, safety, cold climate, something in the U.S. or Canada, has to be pretty dense, and has an artistic community in some part of the city. Also, I love mom and pop restaurants. The city that is on top of my list is Boston. The reason for this is because I am originally from Boston, so I know the city very well. I also love the climate, I love the Red Sox, and I love how easy it is to get around without a car. Did I also mention the clam chowder is to die for! Also my whole family lives there (besides my parents). I’ve also done some research on Brooklyn, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Toronto, Buffalo, Detroit, Providence, Chicago, San Francisco, and last but not least Seattle. I like what I have read on all of these cities. What I want to know is do you have any more suggestions or think that some of the cities that I listed I probably wouldn’t end up liking? If so please feel free to tell me so!I have been saving for quite some time now and have $10,000 saved (saving all of my pay check beside the money put aside for bills). That's why I chose to live with my parents while going to college. I did that because I know the economy sucks and I would need some money saved away just in-case I lost my job or whatever. Thanks for your concerns on me not being able to find a job where I want to go, I thought of that. That’s the reason why I saved the money by living with my parents. more

Resolved Question: Do I have ADHD or is my fiance just boring?

I'm 30 and she is 26, all she seems to ever want to do is stay at home and do the normal routine. Her routine consist of waking up and putting makeup on (this takes 1.5 hours... every day) go to work, come home and act like she just saved the world from her receptionist desk, get a bath and do what ever else she does upstair for the rest of the night until bed all while complaining that she has no time. I like to go out and enjoy the local restaurants and bars for a nice relaxing evening out, anything to break uo the week. The weekend can be even worse. She wakes up at 10:00 and by the time she puts her makeup on its like 12:00! (i get up and am ready for the day by 8:00). Then she complains about how she is too tired from the week to do anything!!!!!!! While I like to enjoy the weekend by going to steelers game, white water rafting, skiing, driving to the beach... whatever, basically anything to get me out of the house! I prupose to do thing and I get this speach about how its always about what I want to do and that she had a hard week and wants to relax all wekkend.... EVERY WEEKEND. On top of this her bank account is always negative at the end of the month and I usually have to pay a bill for her every once in a while to bail her out. I dont even make her pay any of the living expenses, She just pays her phone bill, student loan, and car loan. I pay the mortgage payment for the house I just bought and EVERYTHING else. Her financial problem is that she buys a pack of cigarettes every day and buys stupid ass decoration and clothes and the local TJ Max or Marshalls all the damn time. I sit her down and explain the budget I worked up for her on excel like once a month but she just bitches that I'm cold hearted. I'm a hard worker and have a lot of free time as a recruiter and am working on opening my own staffing company. Sometime I I wonder what she would do if wasnt supporting her ass! more

Resolved Question: Do you think this could win a contest?

And with a sweep of dread, it fell upon me. Jack had left me. I was never going to feel the softness of his skin under my fingertips again, or see the smile that reached his eyes. He was gone, gone to a place where he was never coming back, to a place that was utterly without me. As I walked along the small, lonely beach that used to be ours, a flood of memories came back to me. I remembered Jack jumping off that boulder and nearly breaking his leg, Jack running on top of that log that was washed upon our shore so many years before, Jack showing me that little clearing in the bush... it pained me to think of everything that we had done together on this small secluded shore. I decided that I could not bear to stand anymore time in a place where everything reminded me of Jack, so I set off towards town. In town, I noticed how every single person who passed me by stared at me with a mixture of pity and disgust etched upon their faces. I could understand the disgust, for it must have been days since I had showered last, or even changed my clothes. However, it took me a while before I finally realized that by that time, everybody in town must have heard about Jack, and felt sorry for me. I made my way through town, passing all the stores that I had visited so many times with Jack, and found myself desperately wanting to be home, in my own bed. I could feel myself falling apart, each seam ripping one by one, and didn’t want any witnesses. I ran the rest of the way home, letting the wind whip my face and free myself of any emptiness. It felt good. I ran up my driveway and stopped at the front door to retrieve the key from the broken board in the porch. At once I could feel the loneliness falling back into place, and as I fumbled with the key, trying to get my shaking hand to place it in the lock, I noticed I was crying. I finally managed to open the front door, and I ran inside, not bothering to close the door or take off my shoes. I made it to the stairs, and my empty heart took over. I could feel it climbing from my heart to my head, and then down to my toes, until I couldn’t feel anything but the silent tears pouring down my cheeks. I could hear Jack calling my name, comforting me. I tried to reach out for him, but the moment I touched his beautiful skin he vanished, and I heard another voice calling me. This voice was quieter, like it was calling from a distance, but much more worried. I tried to open my eyes to see who had picked me up and carried me to my room, but the darkness was too comforting, and I let it win. I awoke many times during those days that I spent in my bed, each time waking up in good spirits due to lots of much needed sleep, and then remembering the drastic events that had happened, and allowed myself to curl into a ball and float away. However, after three days of sleeping and crying, I decided to do myself some good and go downstairs to my worried parents. My dad was sitting at his usual spot at the end of the small kitchen table, and my mom was at the counter with her back to me, making coffee. I quietly went to stand behind my dad, to see what he was reading on the newspaper, to find a large photo of Jack on the front page. A twang of loss shot through me. I had been there the day that picture had been taken; in fact, it was me who took the picture. I studied my dad’s face, and was quite taken back when I saw a single tear running down his cheek. At that moment, it appeared to me that I was not the only one who cared about Jack. To my parents, this was like losing the son they never had, and I couldn’t even imagine the heartbreak his mom must be feeling. Not only had she lost her husband five years ago, but now her only son. I reached out to my dad and hugged him. He jumped at first; unaware that I had come downstairs, and then pulled me onto his lap, something he hadn’t done for years. My mom, sensing movement, turned around, saw me, and cried in relief. She ran around the small table that took up most of the space in our kitchen, and hugged me, squeezing me tight against her. I started crying again, allowing myself to let out all the despair that had piled up inside of me, and after all my tears had run out, I simply sat there with my parents, filling myself with the thoughts of joy that although I had lost my darling Jack, I still had my parents who loved me. sorry it's so long! I am 13, and am entering this in a youth write contest. I was one of the winners last year. Do you think I could win again this year?Randy - to answer your question, Jack died in a boating accident. more

Resolved Question: Should I submit this for my Standard Grade (Scottish exams) English Prelim folio?

Danger in the Deep It was a beautiful day in the Bahamas. The palm trees were swaying, the crystal blue waters were shimmering, and occasionally you could see a couple of fish dart past. We were walking along a road just next to breath-taking beaches following a diving instructor, holding our oxygen tanks, flippers and mouth pieces. The oxygen tanks were very heavy and a few people in our group were walking in a comical fashion, because there wet suits were probably too tight. We finally reached the pier to which our catamaran was tied. I glanced down the pier to see the watermark where the tide was at his highest. Scattered all the way below was dried up seaweed and pretty shells. As I looked further down I saw that the pier was far longer than I had thought, stretching probably another 15 meters under the water. We walked down it and then clambered onto the boat. We all took our seats and then we set off. Slowly we started to go faster and faster until the boat was smacking off of the waves and our bums hurt. Our attention was caught by a pod of dolphins leaping out of the water. They were so graceful and beautiful. It just made me feel so lucky I was to be here. Then, just as I was getting used to the motion of the boat, the instructor slowed down until we stopped and got out of the cabin. “Okay everyone, go and get your oxygen tanks and flippers, and then, I think we will be ready.” I heaved on my oxygen tank and formed a line with a partner. Then I sat on the edge with my partner, and fell backwards. The water rushed over my head and immersed me in the tropical blue waters of the Bahamas. We all gathered together under water and got or partners again and swam off. I swam along looking at all the beautiful coral reefs and the vivid coloured fish. It all went really quick and I could have stayed out there for far longer. But I suppose we had to because it was starting to get a bit darker. We just started swimming forward slowly when I realised that my air tube was caught on some coral. It wasn’t a big deal so the instructor just swam down and was going to take it off. And then we saw it - a flash of silver darting past. Panicking, the instructor tugged at the pipe, it just wasn’t coming off. Then I spotted another silver flash behind us, and then to the left. I tugged really hard and the coral broke, setting me free. As I turned around, all I could see was blood in the water, and then the body of the instructor floating upwards with his arm detached to his body. I suddenly realised that my oxygen tank was running out, so in desperation, I swam back to the dead remains of the instructor because I know that they had bigger tanks than us. So I took his tank and pulled mine off and put on his. I felt really selfish doing this, but it’s not like he was going to need it. I swam back up slowly, as I knew that I would explode if I went up too quick. As I swam up upwards so painfully slowly I knew that the shark could get me at any time. I finally reached the top. Then I realised that I was stuck in open water by myself… A day past and I was shattered, because I didn’t dare to sleep. My stomach was wrenching as I hadn’t eaten anything for ages. My head was sore from not drinking anything and I probably would have lost more from diving. I was so tempted to just drink the water around me, but that would just dehydrate me even more. Now and again I would swish water around me mouth just to stop it being so dry and then I would spit it out. I was so cold, I had lost all feeling in my legs and my fingers looked like they had been in the water for years because they were so wrinkly. I was so tired so I just closed my eyes and tried so desperately not to fall asleep, but I couldn’t help it. I woke to the sound of an engine; which was strange because I couldn’t see one. But the I looked round and saw the best thing in my life, a fishing boat! I flapped around as much as I could, so it could notice me, and it turned and started to come towards me! Closer and closer until it was right beside me. It chucked down a ladder and one of the crew members climbed down and heaved me up, I would have never been able to climb up myself, I was too weak. They took me on and took my life jacket off of me and gave me a towel and water. Then once I warmed up they gave me some soup. Once I got back to solid ground I found out that what happened was that they had mixed up the registers of who was going and who wasn’t and the wrong register had two less people than what there should have been. So they left us out assuming that they had everyone. I can tell you one thing, I’m not going diving again! And also, can you tell me if you spot any spelling errors, because you know how its difficult to spot them in your own writing. Thanks everyone! more

Resolved Question: DJing 101 - Equipment, Music, and Promotion Tips?

Hello All, Im a 25yr young wanna be musician, but non the less music fanatic. I have been compiling my MP3 music library for about 10 years and have always gotten compliments on my diversity of collection. In College I was "That Guy" who always had the mix CDs, or was on the Computer making the playlist on the fly during parties. I already possess the ability to read a crowd and the environment to determine what genre, and tempo of music to play, because I have been doing it for years at Parties and family functions. I was really into the Hip-Hop DJs Dirty Harry, Vlad, and Green Lantern to the extent that I made my own 20 Mashup/Blend CD called "Wasted Talent" complete with 5 Interludes, though it mainly appeals to the HardCore Rap audience.

Resolved Question: WHAT DO U THINK OF THE BOOK IM WRITING SO FAR?

kk so im writing a book im 12 tell me what u think 8^] be honest ps sry its so long I watched in terror as he slowly drew the knife closer to her throat. The light reflected off the knife in a flash that illuminated the fear on her face. She struggled to break fre from the heavy, metal chains restraining her. It was no use. She screamed with fear for her life.wanted to do something-anything but I couldn't move, my whole body felt so heavy. His eyes filled with a hunger as blood started to spill from her. the cold, hunger eyes turned towards me, "You're next." "NOOOOO!!!!!!" "Are you deaf? I said, 'shut up' as in now, Nikky! Some people don't want to be up at 5:30am during summer break!" Yelled Mary-Anne. Ugh. Not again, that was the 12th murder nightmare this month. The weird part is the victim is always different and the cause of death is always different but the killer is always the same. I rolled over to face Mary-Anne. It felt like someone dropped millions of cinder blocks on my head. D*mn migraines. "turn off the light, be absolutly silent & leave if you want to live to see 10am," i threatened. Mary-Anne could tell it wasnt a good idea to p*ss me off when i had a migraine. In a pathetic attempt to hide her fear she rolled her eyes, "You stay quiet and I'll be quiet." Fine with me because she shut up. Mary-Anne is my step cousin. Sadly she was spending the summer with us. She lives in California, so she's got a perfect tan and a perfect beach body. She also has perfectly wavy brown hair and a perfect, pimple-free face. Her personality, on the other hand, isn't so perfect. She's spoiled, snotty, annoying, high matinence, and bratty. My vision was starting to go crazy, which my migraine was only getting worse. Only one thing to do in a situation like this, take 2 Advil and sleep until conciousness becomes somewhat bearable again. I stumbled out of my warm, cozy bed to face the mess i call my room. I navigated around the mess on my floorand went across the hall to the bathroom. i took 2 advil then went back to bed. The problem was, sleep wouldn't come. i piled pillows over my head and waited until the Advil kicked in. A half hour later, I threw the pillows off my head and crawled out of bed. My head still hurt but I didn't want to just lay in bed. On my way out of my room, I ran face-first into my door frame. That was a nice addition to my migrane. I went to the bathroom to see if I was bruised, bleeding, or both. When I looked in the mirror, I jumped back and almost fell flat on my butt. I looked horrible, I mean i looked REALLY bad! My long blonde hair was everywhere, it looked like a rat's nest. My green eyes were dull and the dark circles under my eyes look 1000 times worse than usual and my usual was the average person's bad. And to top it all off, I had an ugly bruise starting to form over my rigth eyebrow. I decided to go find some food. That was kinda my philosophy in life, "when in doubt, eat". It's a bad habit, but im a growing girl. Mary-Anne was rifling through the fridge when I came in the kitchen. "You really eat this stuff? Do you have any-" Mary-Anne gasped when she turned arpund and saw me, "You look like sh*t." "And you were hatched from Mars. Now that we've covered the obvious, will you move so I can eat?" She started to ramble on about who knows what, probably something to insult me. I didn't care so I didn't listen. I didn't have the energy to fight with her this morning. "Earth to Nikky, are you even listening?" Mary-Anne asked, obviously annoyed. "Nope," i truthfully replied. But then she stared going off again. "I'm going on a walk," i said just to shut her up. Mary-Anne looked at me like i was insane, "ARE YOU CARZY? YOU CAN'T GO OUT IN PUNLIC LOOKING LIKE THAT!!!" "Okay. okay I'll go make myself presentable, just chill." I went to the bathroom and splashed some cold water on my face. Then, I put on some make-up, got dressed, pulled my hair back, and put on a basebsl cap. I looked in the mirror, this was as good as it was going to get. I was about to leave when my stomach growled. Oh right, breakfast. Cereal, here i come. I was getting up from the table when I tripped and fell hitting the open milk on my way down. I was laying flat on the tile floor and the milk was about to fall on me. I reached up and tried to reach for the milk, but it was too far away. Suddenly the milk tipped back up on the table. The wasn't a drop of milk on me. I quickly rose from the floor and looked around for an explanation. Nothing i was alone in the room. i fellt kind of dizzy. I took a deep breath then yelled that i was going on a walk. I went into the woods where nobody goes because there's no path. Okay i have to admit it was kinda of stupid but I always went for walks in the forest to clear my head-and my head was realy spinning. between the migrane, the milk, and the nightmare i was afraid my head would explode. I didn't think today would be any different fkk if u want the rest e-mail me at kayladee22@yahoo.com 8^]kk here's some more But i din't think today would be anydifferent from any othe day. My head was spinning as I walked through the forest. The nightmares always shook me up a little because they seemed so real, the milk thing was still rolling through my mine and it made it worse trying to think with a migrane. Something in my gut told me there was something wrong. Then i heard them. The foot steps, I was probably over-reacting, right? I turned my head slkightly to get a glance behind me using my periferal vision. There was definutly someone behind me, so I ran. I ran as fast as i could. My only mistake was when I looked behind me to see if he was still following me-he was, a tree root sticking out of the ground tripped me and I went face first into a shrub. The footsteps were REALLY close now, but weren't they coming from the other direction? Wait, the were coming from both directions.

Resolved Question: I was in love with the thought of a family, but I don't love my husband, I'm in love with someone else?

Obviously this looks simple off the top, but let me explain. I have a child (5) who is absolutely everything to me. I was taken advantage of, ended up pregnant, and happened to be seeing my now husband back then. He gave me the "I'm going to support you either way" speech, but it was obvious he didn't want me to keep the baby. He ended up messing with other girls while I was pregnant. I tried to leave because I felt he didn't deserve the situation I was in, but he begged to stay, so there was really no excuse. He blames it on us being young, said he was stupid and didn't know what he had, etc. etc. I ended up breaking things off when my little one was a little over a year old. He's always been "dad", just not always the best kind. I don't mean he doesn't love the child, I mean that he has not been responsible or been the one changing diapers, staying up on sick nights, been there for everything, etc. He was there when he wanted to be. I put up with it because my child loves him. Yes, we were young, and I understand the whole "wild oats" theory, but being a parent is not a part time job and I didn't ask him to be anything or for anything. I considered myself a single parent, because I was. Long story short, I always went out of my way to make sure they spent time together because my child's happiness means more to me than anything, regardless of if I was seeing anyone else, etc. I graduated college (go me!) on time and worked nights for my baby. I'm proud of that. He enlisted in the military to get himself together. We were there for the sending off, graduation, etc. He got her name put on his arm on a free weekend, kept writing home how much he loved us, etc. Still didn't have much faith because he always has time for drinking and flirting. A year after that I got engaged to a man who had been in my babys life as a friend since she was one (yes really just a friend). I had completely thrown my hands up on her "dad" and any chance that we could ever be a family. This man was good to her and loved us both very much. We had only began dating a few months prior to the engagement, and I honestly felt it was more of a logical decision than one of the heart. I told her dad and he had a breakdown, confessed all these feelings, his downfalls, whole nine yards. I felt bad, but didn't let that sway me, as his word has never been golden. He was leaving for on orders and I took my baby to the beach with him for a few days (I won't let them go alone, I'm picky over the baby and we are always together). We had a nice time and it made me wonder, but still I didn't let it get to me. I ended up breaking off the engagement because I knew it was the right thing to do (my heart wasn't in it). About 2 months later he was leaving for deployment, so I made alot of trips to where he was stationed for them to spend time together before he left. I say "them" because that was my primary concern, but of course we would laugh and have a nice time, too. Well with me having completely given up on finding real love (I honestly didn't believe in it), we made the decision to sign papers at the courthouse so she was taken care of and if anything happened to us while he was gone he could come home (he's not the biological father, so he wasn't on the birth cert.). I was in love with the idea of a family for her. I was excited and while he was gone I found a house, moved, and got things in order here. He was saying wonderful things, but as soon as he got home (2 weeks early b/c his dad had a heart attack), it was like the same ol again. It was disheartening to say the least. I told myself it was temporary, it's post deployment, things will be weird etc. He ended up blowing our entire savings account on car parts for his new car instead of the things we had talked about getting as a family. No warning, did while on a short underway period, I see the bank account numbers start dropping. He thinks it's no big deal (always been selfish in his thinking, but everyone sweared the military changed him.. ha). I think it's a huge deal because we agreed on keeping emergency money in the account (he brought it up!). As months passed, he started going out all the time. My baby started acting out very very badly because they couldn't understand why we moved here to be with daddy and daddy was never here. He left again for a month without much warning. My child went into absolutely the worst behavior pattern I've ever seen. I was heartbroken because I did this for them and I felt like I made things worse. They were screaming they hated me, whole nine yards. Horrible. A mutual friend came over and was helping provide a male figure in the house. He came over, spend one on one time with the child, talked with them about the temper tantrums, let me cry it out and told me it's a phase, don't take it personally, etc. My husband's advice was to tear her tail up and for me not to cry about it. Very heart warming and supportive right? So this friend made a point to cSorry I rambled on guys.. It was not a planned thing and he walked in so I didn't have time to spell check or punctuate. I appreciate the advice. I always make sure my child doesn't see the fights. I've always covered everything up in their best interest, however they are older now and have began questioning him and myself on things dad says he's going to do and then doesn't. I'm being purposely vague on my personal details. For the record, he's been dad since day one. He was the first person to hold her but I've let him get away with many things out of love for my child. I realize that is my fault but I would like to think a grown man would put his family first, not his friends, beer, and a car. (Funny, right?) All in all, I'm conflicted as to what is best for my baby. I can live with not having who I love out of love for my child, but is that the best way to go? Thanks again.PS- I am completely aware of the fundamentals of punctuation, but thank you for your heart warming concern for the quality of my education. Please, spare me the condescending tone. I had 5 seconds to press send. I didn't expect Harvard level advice on Yahoo by any means, but please atleast comment on the subject, not the form.

Resolved Question: Freaked out. Hoping someone smarter than I am (and some doctors are) will read. Long explaination question.?

Okay, there is something wrong with my throat, and no one can seem to (or cares enough to) figure out what. If there are any really smart doctors or med students who roam around looking to give free advice (probably way too much to hope for, but you never know) or someone who has had the same symptoms, please, *please* answer this if you can. I have been to every medical site I can think of, as well as urgent care and the ER, and no one can tell me anything... I noticed this about three months ago. I was swimming at the beach when a wave hit me from behind, hit my head, and I felt something in my throat move. Like the throat itself was shifting to one side. For a moment I couldn't swallow. This wasn't exactly painful, but it was highly uncomfortable. That feeling of discomfort lasted for the rest of the day. A few weeks later, my throat started to swell, from chin to collarbone. It was a visible swelling, and was not concentrated to my glands--again, it was more like the throat itself. I went to urgent care and spoke to someone who said my throat looks fine, and she prescribed me a mild corticosteroid (sp?) for a week. The swelling went down, but I continued to experience discomfort when any type of pressure (no matter how soft or mild) touched the outside of my throat. Then a couple of weeks ago, I started to have trouble swallowing. It felt like the back of my throat, on top, was very very dry. It got a bit worse, to the point where I had trouble swallowing without lubrication of some kind. I must've gone through gallons and gallons of water in a day and a half. Now, to be clear, I *could* swallow. But not without difficulty. It also felt as though the glands on the sides of my throat were swollen. My husband took me to the ER, where I spoke to a doctor who listened to my symptoms, looked in my throat for about two seconds, and announced me normal. When I started crying and insisting something was wrong, he rolled his eyes and ordered an x-ray. (Sorry, had to rant for a second.) The x-ray, I'm told, also appeared normal, with no swelling or problems. He prescribed a broad antibiotic (azythromyacin--sp?) for me, which I've been taking. It seems to have helped the swallowing problems, and the swelling has gone down. But just a few moments ago, I picked up something, was holding it near my throat, and had the first feeling of actual pain in my throat. It was not sore--more like the throat felt bruised on the outside. I don't have insurance right now, so I can't afford to go see someone specializing in ears, nose and throat, but I *know* something is not right with my body. Please, I am begging, if you think you might know what's wrong, answer this question. Guesses are welcome, as long as they're well-informed. I would really really appreciate any insight. Thanks so much....wvtwinmom THANK YOU. I am still hopeful of more guesses, but I can't express how grateful I am that you actually took a moment to wager an answer for me--and a very comforting one at that. Hopefully there are more people like you out there on this site. :) more

Resolved Question: help me with writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please?

Evelyn woke up in pain. Not, “Ouch, I broke a bone” pain but “ this is really uncomfortable” kind of pain. She had felt this kind of pain before, so she brushed it off. Jerking her eyes open, she looked up to see the bright, golden sun beaming straight into her eyes. She jumped backwards and her feet became completely submerged in water. Looking around she saw where she was. Sandy beaches, towering trees and roaring waves surrounded her. She looked at the ground where she had been laying. It was a pretzel in the sand. “How did I get here?” she wondered She called her friend, Pagee’s name and her blonde haired green-eyed friend came running to greet her. “Where are we?” Evelyn howled at her. Pagee told her that they landed on a strange island off the coast of Africa and that the plane had crashed and the ended up here. Evelyn heard a rumbling noise coming from her stomach. Pagee looked at her confused, and then burst towards the jungle and Evelyn scampered after her like a lost puppy. Reaching the jungle she saw Pagee flinging herself towards a vine. She grabbed the vine and climbed up it and then fell. She stood up with a banana in her hand. Evelyn giggled. In a time of crisis leave it to Pagee to find food. Pagee peeled it, stuffed it in her mouth. They ran back to the beach together. “ So, what are we going to do?” Evelyn asked. “ I don’t know, and this place scares me,” Pagee replied as she stuffed her face. “ How are we going to get home?” “ That, I don’t know either, and it scares me even more. Erin had felt the crash, but the last thing he remembered was the seatbelt light flicking on. Parker, on the other hand, remembers everything from the seatbelt light turning on to silently watching the plane float away. He remembers dragging Eric, his best friend, onto the beach and watching his limp, lifeless body lay on the sand. Parker still shocked from what had happened curled up and went to sleep. Evelyn likes adventure. That is why Pagee is her best friend and what a perfect place to have one than on an island. The sun woke her up to reveal Pagee dangling from a vine. Pagee then swung, grabbed another vine and kept going. She came running back and started again. “Wait Pagee!” Evelyn yelled to her. She grabbed a vine and took off after her. Seeing Pagee climb up the tallest tree on the island, she stopped and climbed up it too. They sat at the top and looked out. The view was amazing. They could see for miles in all directions: golden pyramids of Egypt, dark murky waters of the Nile and millions of miles of endless ocean. “ Wow!” they yelled together and they giggled until they fell out of the tree. They grabbed a vine and swung back towards the beach. Erin woke up abruptly when he heard screaming in the distance. When he opened his eyes he saw a spear sticking out of the ground like the sword and the stone. There was an identical one laying on the ground beside it. By the spear he saw a trail of footsteps. He quickly followed them not thinking about who they belonged to. When he reached the end of the steps he saw Parker trying to start a fire. Erin asked him what the spears were for. “ Fish” was all that came out of his mouth. He rushed to the beach and grabbed a spear. He walked into the water and stood with a skillful look on his face. He stabbed a spear at the water as if he wanted to destroy it. As he pulled it out of the water Erin caught a glimpse of a golden fish about four foot long trying to free itself from the sharp spear. “Aha! We’re eating good tonight!” He ran up to Erin, handed him the spear, and ran back into the water. He took his jacket off, dipped it in the water, and layed the golden fish on top of it. “ Come hunt with me!” he yelled smiling a toothy smile from ear to ear. Erin grabbed the other spear and took off towards the water. When the boys had waded into chest deep water, Erin noticed that a fin was poking out of the water. The silver beast swam slowly towards them. Erin saw the wide, open gills sticking out of the water, and he knew what it was. A shark. It swam swiftly towards them with his wedge shaped body wriggling as it got closer. He opened his mouth and flashed his pearly white teeth. They sparkled under the sunlight like the misty gray eyes above them. His eyes were the eyes of a killer. As they sparkled under the afternoon light they became red as the gums holding his massive triangle teeth in his mouth. He nudged Parker and they ran back to the fire. Parker made the fish while Erin swung off on a vine to find water. Evelyn swung and hit something hard that mae her crash to the ground. She looked up and saw a red-headed freckled boy about her age sitting in front of her. He let his name escape from his mouth. She replied that her name was Evelyn, and she took him back to her camp. Erin followed Evelyn back to the beach after they found Parker sitting by the fire eating fish. When they got back to their camp Pagoh btw just tell me like what needs improvement and like if i need to change anything! please help! oh and i did write it by myself more

Voting Question: How is my story, please read?

Slowly I came to myself, but I couldn't move. My hands and feet were stretched out and tied, chained or something. A piece of black cloth was over my face, so I couldn't see a thing, and I was gagged with something that filled my whole mouth. It made it hard to make any sound at all. A sudden breeze gave my crippled body goosebumps, and the cloth blew away from over my face. The sight that met me, was a man. Clad in a tatty uniform, holding a whip in his right hand and a razor in his left. Trying as hard as i could to restrain myself from the chains i felt a sharp excruciating pain throughout my whole body. I have been induced into captivity for some time now, 1 and a half years to be precise. I have no knowing of why or how i got here but i'll tell you the story. I had been back packing around Southeast Asia for a few months, which was a dream come true as it was something i always wanted to do. Seeing the sights of Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia was immense. But Bali was the the place that i was mostly looking forward to. With it's sheer beauty and miraculous sceneries Bali was like heaven on earth for me. As i didn't have enough money to buy a hotel room i stayed in a beach hut on the sea frount for the night. Feeling the sand between my toes and hearing the waves crashing together made me feel so uplifted and proud that i found this exotic paradise. My room was only small with a ragged dusty bed in the middle. I didn't have any luxouries or amenities but i didn't let greed get the better of me. As i flung my heavy bag on the floor, i sat on my bed and gazed out the window. Looking out towards the moon i yawned. Hearing the soothing sound of trees rustling with the wind and waves violetly moving, my eyes slowly closed as i fell asleep. Early in the morning i was awoken by slight wisperes outside my door. Not knowing of who it was i slowly peered out of my window. Suddenly. at that point. My door was bashed down and around 10 middle aged men wipped the covers off me and covered my face. As i had no idea what was happening to me i tried my hardest to break free of the men. As it came to my attention that the majority of the men had guns and weapons, i held still. Shocked of what was happening, the men started to beat me. As the pain was unbearable i slowly fell unconsious, the sound of the men laughing at me slowly faded out and the last thing that came to my attention, was the men dragging me along with a few other back packers to an open top rusty truck. Waking up with my bare hands tied tightly behind my back and a silver peice of tape around my mouth i percived blood from my face. As i was not alone, i was sat with a young woman and a man which seemed to be her boyfriend. As i shaked my head from a deep sleep, i looked back at what dusty road we had drove along, i began to notice the sun slowly peering from behind the mountins. Having no idea of what was going on still, I began to think to myself, I could just jump off the back of the truck, running to a nearby station, house, village, anything. But I didn't, and knowing what i know now, I wish I could of took that opportunity and I could've been free. All I knew was that were we was going weren't going to be pretty. As the truck came to a sharp holt, I looked to where we were. It was only still quite early in the morning and I could just make out where I was. I looked at my surroundings and could see that we was in the middle of knowhere. We were deserted. Suddenly a group of men came round to the back of the truck and started shouting and screaming at us in some langague I didn't understand. They reached out and violently dragged us from aboard the truck. Kicking and punching us to the entrance of what i call a 'hell hole'. I found myself to be trapped in some sort of an old house that may have been used as a hostel at some point. I was being held captive by what seemed to be everyone there. Around me was gaurds staring. Some jeering and wailing at us. I felt so small in this enviroment. I felt petrofied. I could smell dirt which made me want to vomit. A small lightbulb hung from the ceiling. Swaying from side to side. Rusty pipes slithered throughout the room. A large man grabbed me by my tatty clothes, looked at me and ripped the tape from my mouth, it was agony, and he threw me into a cell. He violently threw a piece of paper at my face shouting "You pay, you pay!" I looked at the paper. It was a grant. For £10,000. I shook my head. He made a jesture with his hand, putting it up to his neck. As if he was slicing his head off. My stumoch churned. As i knew i could not get the money to pay the grant, I shook my head again. Throwing the paper slowly on the floor. At that point i felt lifeless. I knew if I didn't pay that money in a week then my life was going to be over. I rested my head into my hand thinking how I could get the money. As i sat in a cold, dark, lifeless cell I heard screams in frount of me. I knew these me more

Voting Question: Please read, I think I might have been raped!?

I was skinny dipping with a female friend of mine one night in the dark this summer, I’m 18 and she is 24. All of our clothes were sitting in a pile on the beach. Well when we came out all of our stuff was gone. So we were trying to look around for it when this guy said “looking for something.” Ok so this guy totally took and hid all of our clothes, he told us that he would give them back to us if one of us had sex with him. Here’s the deal, we walked down to this beach, it was about a mile or 2 from where we were staying. So we really needed our clothes back. We looked at each other trying to cover ourselves. My friend, I will call her Mary said “ok I’ll do it.” She had kind of been around the block a little but I was like thank god. Then this guy which I might add must have been 35 or better, look at her and says “no, I want her” and points to me. I was like no way… My friend Mary was like please just do it so we can get our clothes back, she was almost starting to start to cry. It was all bad. Mary also said I would have done it for us, she did try to talk him into just doing her several times, since she knew that I was very inexperienced. So I finally agreed to do it. I had only ever had sex with one guy and that was only a few times. So I let him do it. First he made me put it in my mouth, which I had never done before. We were in the sand and I just laid there, closed my eyes and let him get on top of me. He totally tore me up, he was being as rough as he possibly could with me, and he kept saying “take it b*tch.” Every time I would start crying he would ask me do you want me to stop? At first I told him yes and then he said that he wouldn’t give us our clothes back. So I told him “no just finish” every other time he asked. He seemed to totally take his time. He seemed to try to make it as painful as possible, why would he have done that? So finally he was done, he swore that he would not go in me but he totally did, it was everywhere. I was just glad he stopped. I went back into the water to get the sand off my back. He then gave us our clothes back and ran off. I just found out that my “friend” Mary knew this guy and totally set me up for $100. The whole thing was planned!!! I am so pissed. Was I raped??? I agreed to do it. I was totally tricked into giving it up! What should I do now? I haven’t told her I know I was thinking about getting back at her, but how? Also why would he have tried to make it hurt so much??? Feel free to message me. more

Resolved Question: Is it rude that a friend asks to return her gift?

I gave one of my best friends a beach theme birthday gift . A beach bag , a beach towel , a necklace & 2 tank tops for her b-day gift. 2 months later she wrote me an email asking for me to swap her tank tops because they do not fit.

Resolved Question: Opinions on my first chapter?

Just any feedback and thoughts really. Revised a little since the last time I posted. Thursday follows Thursday, marking the weeks and months of the year as autumn passes and winter comes. The colour bleeding out of the landscape, bright green leaves turning gold, then grey. The dark rocks and dusky heather covered hills take on a severe and overbearing beauty almost unimaginable in the softness of summer. The white van moves agonisingly slowly up the driveway. From my vantage point at the first floor window I watch it disappear and reappear amongst the overhanging trees. “Come on, come on, come on”. I tap my feet in rhythm with the words. Buck, picking up on my tension, is practically turning somersaults in the hallway below, well, as close to a somersault as a huge, hairy dog can get. He stops, races to the top of the stairs, sniffs my feet, then races back to the bottom, his claws clipping on the wooden steps. He moves so quickly I fear he’ll fall snout over tail to the bottom. Thursday mornings are always the worst for me. It’s the only time of the week I’m not completely free and so, I suppose, I resent it. It’s not that I don’t try to fill the many hours of my week. It’s just that, well, thinking about it too much is a little...overwhelming. For someone in my situation, I think it best to live from day to day. Moment to moment. Don’t think too far ahead, or the weight of all the years ahead of me in this house, they might crush me before I get the chance to live them. Now though, standing at the window, waiting, my head is filled with ideas on how to spend the rest of my morning. The van is one minute away. I check my reflection in the mirror at the top of the stairs, looking to see everything is in place. Good thing too. One of my bandages around my neck has worked its way loose, revealing the nothingness underneath. I doubt he’d notice anything was amiss in the few moments it takes for him to put the bags of groceries inside the front door and for me to sign the receipt. Still, I must be careful. He’s getting out of the van. I dive for the stairs, slipping on my socked feet down the first few steps. For a moment I feel the pull of gravity towards the earth, suspended for a few heartbeat less seconds, realising how far it is to the floor below. Images flash through my mind of myself, falling, bones splintering. Something horrible for Rachel to find when she comes downstairs. Then I right myself, continuing more carefully. I remember the last time I was careless... I’d planned to spend the afternoon walking over the hills, but the gathering clouds encourage me to stay near the house, so Buck and I heed down towards the beach. We pass by the lake, almost completely frozen over, the waterfall a silent pale-red icicle stretching from surface to cliff. Even Buck seems in low spirits. The cold snap has come so suddenly his winter coat hasn’t had time to make an appearance yet, though you can see the fur thickening at his shoulder and along his spine. I walk beside him; my hand plunged into the thick brush on his neck. Winter is usually my favourite time of year. I enjoy feeling the impact I make on the world. My feet crunch through the frosted grass, leaving subtle prints on the icy surface. I take a deep breath and breathe out. The warmth I create hangs in the air for a second, before being pulled away by the wind. Once on the beach I settle myself on a rock and watch Buck wander along the edge of the surf, whining out to sea. I pull the letter from my pocket and run my fingers over the address. I wonder who sent it. No one ever writes to me apart from Aunt Lilla and this isn’t her handwriting. From the letters stiffness I guess it’s a Christmas card. Christmas is still two days away, but it’s so tempting to open it early. No one would ever know. Turning the card over and over in my hand, I look out to sea. Is something out there? Yes. A hand. Attached to a dark mass I guess to be a body. Dead or alive? I can’t tell. Alive. It waves. I have only a moment to think. But I don’t think. I shove the letter into the pocket of my parka, kick away my thick boots and throw off the bulky winter coat and scarf. Striding past Buck, I wade out into the sea, staying on my feet until the ground drops away beneath me. The cold is indescribable. If I could invent a stronger word than freezing I would. Thought was nearly impossible, but I try to pretend to myself I am swimming in the sun-dappled lake in summer. The figure seems a thousand miles away. Might as well be a million. Might as well be on the moon. The Sun. At least that would be warm. The only thought in my mind is to reach whoever it is. God, I hope this isn’t for nothing. I gasp, taking in a mouthful of seawater that feels like a thousand knives stabbing my insides. Cold, and yet strangely warm at the same time. It burns. My eyes sting, my limbs feel like they are about to detach themselves from my body. Slowly, I reach him. He seems unconscI give up, and my vision was starts to fail, but I feel a pulling at my collar. Buck. He pulls me towards the surface. His claws rake my back as he struggles with both our weights. I hadn’t thought I was capable of feeling any more pain. I don’t know how he managed it, but when we break the surface and I take my first breath... Salt drenched though it was, nothing had ever tasted sweeter. The three of us struggle to shore. Once there, it’s all I can do not to collapse. It takes several long moments for me to catch my breath, desperately trying to refill my lungs with air. I see the boy splay out onto the sand. He dry heaves and doesn’t seem capable of standing, let along walking. We can’t stay here.Slowly, I reach him. He seems unconscious. I have no idea what to do. Instinct takes over once more and I hook my arms under his armpits and attempt to kick my way to shore. My legs tangle with his. Suddenly he is awake and starting to fight me. Speech is impossible. No reassuring word can pass my lips to calm him. We both go down. I let go. Push him away. I have to. Every atom in my body screams for escape. I kick my way towards the pale light of the surface. Something drags me down. I look, eyes starting to dim. In the murk below I see him, holding onto my leg. His eyes wide with panic. I reach down to grab his hand, thinking, maybe, I can pull him up with me. Too heavy. Once again we head for the depths.“The house”, I chattered through my teeth. I gestured feebly up the slope. “It’s not far”. The wind whips the words from my lips, carrying them off out to sea. But he seems to understand. I throw my discarded parka around him and I offer a hand up. After a long pause, he takes it. Together we stagger forwards. Barely aware of the direction, as long as it is away from the sea. The snow storm that has been threatening all morning has now broken in earnest. Fat, white flakes drift from the sky. After the horror of the sea, it was almost seems warm and friendly. It’s so tempting to lie down in it. Maybe for just a few moments. more

Resolved Question: Something of intrest to barbados!?

Does barbadians really realize whats going on around them,some of you may not be familiar with the beautiful beaches,but i was born very close to the beach.I have notice now there is no access to the beach after you pass the Holetown police station,the only other access is by the paynes bay fish market,are we as barbadian will continue to shut up and allow ourself to be shut out from our beaches.We will ultimately pay a heavy price for our unwillingness to act,history will not be so kind to us, it will record a free people who had so much and gain nothing of value to our children or grand children,others will rightly say those people never achive anything,we labour not if we cannot labour for our own.The politicans in Barbados continue to fool the public over and over,you hear them saying things like Four Seansons,and many other top class resorts is being built how good it is for the economy (bullshit). How many developments in Barbados allocate funds to improve the surrounding area inhabitated by locals? How many developments seek to improve the lot of those whose areas they invade? They build up to the perimeter of their boundaries,and surround them with high fences.The message is clear,we are here but we are not apart of you.Now there are talking about developing Six Mens St.Peter,my word will not fall The beaches in Barbados is becomming private.I dont have anything against development but how in high heaven could any government allow people to block every access to the beach in a small island like Barbados as far as i can see in the future Bajans will have to bath on the east coast and build houses alon the scotland district.I agree Subway should set up in Barbados,but to the original topic it is quite difficult to take money out of Barbados so Bajans must realize that when top class hotels are set up here ,there bank accounts are overseas so if you are in any where outside barbados and you book a holiday at a hotel own by outsiders the money does not come into Barbados it remain in their countries more

Resolved Question: was endless summer a good thing or a bad thing for the beach boys?

4 me it was a little of both,commercially it was good,now artistically it was a big step backward.the reason why:at the time "endless summer was released,the beach boys were on the verge of breaking free of the "surfer"image they created over a decade earlier,their previous album "holland" was one of rolling stone's top 5 albums of 1973 and it also got the beach boys a lot of airplay on underground and alternative radio stations.when "endless summer" came out whatever forward artistic progress the beach boys made from 1966-1973 kind of went out the window because all everybody wanted from the beach boys was the old stuff,hence why a lot of the new material that came out after "holland" pretty much tanked,with the exception of 1976's "15 big ones"and the only reason that did as well as it did was because it rode on the residual popularity of "endless summer". more

Resolved Question: Atheists/Skeptics: As you are free from the bondage of God & religion, what would you HATE to live without?

These are the things and/or people in life that you really love, but would be absolutely crushed if you couldn't enjoy them as you can now This may be from physical disability of some kind. massive change in circumstances or they were outlawed. Take these away and you'd be devastated. Maybe benign things like time with friends and family, support of loved ones, ability to love a sunset or the smell of a wave on the beach, cheering at a sporting match, pop concert, shopping etc. Or even `vices` such as getting rat-faced with your buddies on Friday night, sleeping around, watching trashy movies, gambling etc Things that you love, and all the more so because you have factored God out of the equation. Maybe if helps you think, a top 3 or top 5. Thanks / Brad M more

Resolved Question: How do you tell if your frog is a boy or a girl?

I have no idea! I found my frog on a beach in a tide away from the beach so I'm sorry I have no idea what kind of frog and I'm sorry because I know it varies from frog-to-frog. It is very small, it can fit on your thumbnails and is built like an average frog and it is like a greenish brown. I had two frogs originally, but somehow the other one got out (it has a lid, I bet it got opened and nobody saw it jump out, and my sis found it dried up =(. Anyway pointing that out because it climbed on top of the other frog and I know the one on top is the male.)Yes, obviously the one underneath is a girl, but I don't know which one escaped. So I was wondering, how can you tell? Theres a tadpole in there too, so hopefully there the same gender, I don't want it to get over populated (it might be cool if I knew the gender though and I could set some free and keep the ones that are either male or female. My dad is going to the same beach and getting me another frog,he's visiting friends) But anyway, how can you tell? Thanks! Sorry for the long stories! more

Resolved Question: dreams of mermaids, would anyone care to give an interpretation?

I was curious to the representation of dreaming of dark skinned mermaids with green eyes (like a jade or emerald). I dreamed I was sitting on a beach next to a fire by myself and facing the ocean wearing a black skirt long and a tank top. When I saw mermaids with dark green, some with dark blue almost black skin with these green eyes. They didnt look like your Disney ariel with long flowing hair and singing. They didnt say anything they just came out of the water staring at me. The hair looked black but their skin was like a smooth scale kinda, but i was curious to some random opinions. Do not reply if you feel the need to share any puerile comments toward my question, find a question that is of your genuine interest and respond to something you actually know about. It is highly callow and a cheap cowards way to go online and search for people to put down ideas or questions because your lack of manners. Anyone else who has any insight to share, feel free too. thank youI wasnt scared, startled yes but not scared. I felt more confused on why they were staring at me. I was a bit nervous on running away from the water so I didnt move. and no I've only had one dream I was mermaid but that was when I was like 5. it was a cool one time dream, i had silver hair and dark blue finsdoubt of myself with femininity never heard of that, thanks i think thats really fascinating... and i really appreciate the answers everyone keep them coming if there are any out there more

Resolved Question: What do you think of the start to my story?

Please feel free to speak your mind about if you think i have potential, which i dont think i do lol. Thanks :-) It was a perfect sunny day in L.A, the sun was gleaming, and the sky was a perfect shade of blue and not one cloud in sight. I was wearing my favourite outfit for this type of weather a black and pink spotted bikini, lounging it up on the terrace of my apartment, it was sheer bliss. This was nothing like where I used to live, in a small, drab old village in South Wales, United Kingdom, where big, dark, black clouds hung over the town like an omen. There I lived with my older twin brother Cameron, my sister, Stephanie and both my parents, Alannah and James. It goes without saying my brother and I always looked a lot like each other, with dark brown hair and big, bold green eyes. Since we were young we have always been close and although he is only ten minutes younger than me he has always acted as if he were ten years older. Stephanie our younger sister is seventeen years old and we also have two other twin brothers, Jamie and Johnathon who are twenty eight. I hated living in Wales, it was always so cold and wet, where everyone knew everyone else’s business and if they didn’t they would sure find a way. Man it feels so good to be lying here in this blistering heat. ‘’Hey there gorgeous’’ I heard from the right of me. The apartment I live in is beautiful; it has everything a small town girl could have ever wished for, with an outdoor swimming pool on the lower terrace a bathroom I could play baseball in and a bedroom that could fit ten queen size beds, the only downside was that the top terrace and the balcony are conjoined with the neighbours, the only separation being a Perspex wall. I turned my head to reveal a stunning looking guy staring right at me grinning like a Cheshire cat. The guy had tame, light brown curly hair just above his shoulders, dark tanned body, and an athletic physique; he must have been around ten feet tall and was completely dazzling. ‘’Hey’’ I replied in a bored tone of voice, returning my head to its original position. ’Stunning view isn’t it?’’ I turned my head back towards him. ‘’The view, of the scenery’’ he sniggered nodding towards the beach. I let out an uninterested laugh and got up and walked into my apartment without another word or any other acknowledgment towards him, I could hear him laughing to himself and a huge grin spread across my face. In the apartment I started to make myself a Mojito, I grabbed a highball glass from the cupboard and added two teaspoons of sugar to it, three sprigs of mint and lime juice, I then mashed it all up, added the rum and ice, poured the tonic water and garnished it with lime slices, mint and a straw, without being modest it looked and tasted perfect, and so it should now that I have bought a club. The club has proved to be very successful with big celebrity names like Paris Hilton and Rihanna attending. The name is original of course and self titled, ’The Club’. I have never been neither creative nor an inventive person and found this name very necessary. I took a sip of my delicious Mojito, put the T.V on and sat in front of it. It was four o’clock in the afternoon and T.V listings in America were nothing like British T.V, that’s the only thing I miss about living in the U.K along with family, after flicking through nearly every channel I switched it back off and went to run myself a bath, ready for my night out on the tiles. It was so peaceful laying in the bath, no one disturbing me and the only noise being the luxurious bubbles crackling gently around me, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven, I took a big sip of my Mojito and remembered all the times I would have to state an announcement each time I wanted to go in the shower or bath when I lived back at home, and even then I still couldn’t get any privacy. I closed my eyes, I was awoken but a huge scream and what sounded like a few men laughing, I looked at the time it was six o’ clock I had fallen asleep for two hours and the water was freezing, I looked around and could see bits of mint and lime floating around and realised I had dropped my glass into the water. I grabbed a towel off the shelf and got out. An hour later I was sitting fully dressed on the top terrace smoking a cigarette. I decided to wear white cropped shorts; a black top that slouched off the shoulder and black platform shoes, my long brown hair was curly with sultry looking eyes and highly glossed lips. I took a puff on my cigarette and could hear male voices from next door, it was weird I had lived here in Malibu two years and had never had anyone else live next door to me.Yeah I thought I focused on the trivial like the bath and the making of the mojito, and I have been trying to minimise it but its quite difficult lol. I only started this tonight but thanks for your opinions they are more encouraging than i thought they would be, I actually grinned like a cheshire cat reading lmao.Any other details like how to be less chatty would be appreciated thanks :-)Astrobat, you have been the most detailed with the replies, and have helped me quite a deal, I wish there was another way of contacting you, as I said I have only started this tonight and have all these ideas in my head but can’t find a way to get them down like I imagine them. I never wanted it to be chatty but the first chapters are about the character being lonely and I am not quite sure how else to put this across. I have never done anything like this before so it’s a new thing to me as you can definitely tell lol. Thanks again to you all for your constructive criticism I actually thought I would get insults so its appreciated lol. more
