Open Question: TX MIP CHARGE OVER SPRING BREAK WASNT DRINKING!!?

Need some advice before I fight this. Me and my Friend got invited to this party in a condominum at the beach 2 night ago and we went, we did not drink any thing there, we are 20 years old. There were 21 year olds there that were drinking their beer. Earlier in the night I had gotten a call from a guy that wasnt at the party saying cops were looking for a 11 and 12 yr old that had been kidnapped by 18 yr olds> and they were searching hotels..(probable cause or a way to make money spring break??) The cops broke down the door and came in with gun pointed at us and the others had tasers telling us to put our hands up. (asking us if we had heard about the 2 kids that had been kidnapped..? i didnt say anything) The 21 yr olds were automatically put in hand cuffs and taken to jail for the rest of us, we all got tickets without being tested. I was the only one crying becuz i was pissed that i was getting charged for something I DIDNT DO! This was my first charge so i didnt really know what to do but cry and freak out when i had a gun pointed at me. the cops were unbelievably rude(There were open bottles and beer cans everywhere, a beer pong table where we were not even close to sitting by. guessing they thought they were providing the alcohol to minors) there were mostly all minors and some were drinking BUT NOT ME!!!!!!!!. We did not have alcohol in our hand, they did not test me, i even told them i didnt drink and they told me i could either fight it or pay it. So my family thinks we should fight it. They were even letting people drive back home that HAD been drinking. When the cop asked me if i had had anything to drink i had told them i did way earlier with my parents and he asked how much and what it was and told me i could leave after i got my ticket. There were people that had been drinking all night that were drunk driving probably. I need some help with this..so if you have anything to add please help! more

Open Question: I wrote a POEM for her... what do you think? Will she like it?

We're both 17 and we broke up recently, as weird as it sounds she really hurt me but I still want to show her how much she means to me. Don't tell me that she could break hurt me again or that I should just move on - getting my heart broken is a risk I'm willing to take just to tell her how I reel about her. Anyway, here it is: Look up, look around you These people around you; they were all children once It doesn’t matter who we are now; once upon a time, we were all newborn, rocking in our cradles But that doesn’t make childhood any less special Look to your left, then to your right Look to your friends and family; they’ve all felt sadness and loss at some point But they’ve also known laughter, happiness, and maybe even love That doesn’t make any of these feelings less important Look up into the night sky Those glistening, bright white stars There are so many of them, more than there are grains of sand on every beach But that doesn’t make any one of them less amazing Look out, out to the warm horizon There are six billion people in the world right now; they were all children once They will all laugh, cry and smile; they will all look up and see the stars Maybe, they'll all fall in love But right now, there is no person No feeling, no diamond No star in the sky As beautiful as you are I know I have posted this many, many times... but if you know what it's like to be losing someone that you love and had one last chance to hold it together, I hope you'll understand :) more

Open Question: I need indoor tanning advice, from experienced tanners please!?

Here's the deal: my wedding is in two months, and as a gift, we were given tickets for a Bahamas Cruise. We will leave two days after the wedding. I've been tan before, but from laying out over the whole summer. It's the end of winter, and while I'm not pasty white, if I go to the Bahamas like this I'll be one giant blister. My salon just got a stand up bed, and I was thinking maybe doing like 5 sessions in there, then hitting a regular bed a couple times a week until we leave? I can literally count on one hand the number of times I've laid in a bed, and I've never had experience with a stand up bed. Also, any suggestions as to what kinds of lotions to use for the best results? I know nothing about lotions, and there are a million to choose from, and they all look the same to me. This is my first cruise ever, and my first time to the Bahamas ever (or even the beach, for that matter). I really want to make sure I'm tan enough before I leave, because I don't want the whole trip ruined with a bad sunburn. Especially since it's my honeymoon! Any helpful advice I can get would be great! And please no comments about how bad tanning beds are for you. I am completely aware of the health risks. I am also aware of the health risks of a bad sunburn if I go without a good tan. I live in an apartment complex with little to no outdoor privacy, so laying out isn't really an option for me. Thank you so much for your time! more

Open Question: what is the movie on tbs where someone finds a book on the beach and decides to be an author?

Ok. so I saw part of this movie on Tbs last summer, this high school student in California's friend dies in a surfing accident and this kid finds a book on the beach and reads it over and over, eventually deciding to be an author, so he applies for a big university(idk which one) and doesnt make it due to his counselor sending the wrong transcripts, thats as far as i got plz tell me what its called so i can watch it more

Open Question: Girlfriend's talk playing on my mind...?

My Chinese girlfriend has a habit of trying to stir me up. The thing is I sometimes worry that she will go after another foreigner. I don't think she realises how much her comments play on my mind. Eg. Tonight she talked about marriage and going back to my country with me. But then she followed it up with trying to find a man with blue eyes (she has a fascination with blue eyes) or a man who is rich... Makes me think that I should just enjoy what I have here in China but not make any future plans with her... Definitely not to go back to Australia with her if she is going to have the bastard attitude of trying to leave me once we get there. It plays on my mind so much that I lose trust and the other night I had a strange dream that she went to the beach without me and before long had a group of young men running after her - my mother witnessed this and was furious and yelling at her for not respecting our marriage (my sister was in shock). I witnessed the whole thing and walked towards the beach but was devasted and yelling at her through tears that we were supposed to be married. She was too busy laughing and joking with these guys to pay any attention to what I was saying. more

Open Question: I Have Alot of Dreams were im trapped in my bathroom with someone?

also alot of times im "SOMEWHERE" but not somewhere. like i will be at "MY HOUSE" but its not really my house that i live at now, or even in the past. and alot of times i will have "MY BEST FRIEND" but they are not my best friend in real life...i dont even know who they ARE. what does that mean? now about the bathroom part. the last dream i had being trapped in a bathroom, i was hiding in there from a boy(that i saw at an autdition) i guess he was famous cus we were running from security. and my "BEST FRIEND" was tere and we hid in a public bathroom. and i dont even know who that person that was supposed to be my best friend IS? the second time, was when me and my crush were stuck in my house bathroom(nothing like my real house), after we "popped away" from the beach (dreams make you go everywhere) anyway..i was in the bathroom, he was allowed to leave and come back in instantly, i was wasnt able to leave even if i wanted to , but we were stuck in there with one of my "friends" idk who this person was. but im just SICK OF GETTING STUCK IN BATHROOMS!! so what does it mean? more

Open Question: Need help deciding on place to move - have various possibilities?

I recently got married, and my husband absolutely hates where we live now and wants to move. In fact, I agreed to move before we got married (unfortunately). I have only lived in three states in my life - born in California (but would never live there again), then moved to Arkansas (don't want to live there again either), and currently reside in Tulsa, OK. Now I know a lot of you people from big urban cities would probably hate it here, but I actually really like living here and have lived here for 17 years. The city is just big enough to have a variety of things to do, traffic is not a problem, and the way of life is perfect for me here. All my family is within 2 hours from me (my family is very important to me), I have lots of friends here, job I love, house I love, etc.....I REALLY don't want to move, but I said I would make a compromise and move. My husband is originally from India (has no relatives here in the U.S.), and has lived in the U.S. since 2002. He lived in Philadelphia for 6 years and then moved to Tulsa for a job (that's how we met). Anyway, after being here, he found out he really doesn't like it here. He prefers the big city living (as in Philly), because you can travel by train or car and get to so many different places (New York, beaches, etc) in not much time, loves the urban city part like all the activities of a downtown life, and likes the "character" of the Northeast much better than the South. Yes, I realize that Oklahoma is pretty flat, but the weather here is much better in my opinion, and yes, we do have hills, trees, grass, etc. here too. It's not really fair to make a comparison of the two areas because the climate, terrain is completely different, but I guess it's what you become accustomed to. So basically, he and I are pretty opposite in how we want to live, but we think we can make a compromise that we both can live with. Now we just have to decide on a city. He would love to go back to Philly, but the thought of living in the Northeast part of the U.S. is not appealing to me at all - I HATE THE COLD WEATHER and it is SO FAR AWAY from my family and friends. I personally think the Dallas, TX area would be a good compromise, but he said he definitely doesn't want to stay there the rest of his life - he says it's too hot and has no character. We already BOTH have some friends there, it's not too far from Tulsa (so easy to travel back and forth), definitely a big city, and large airport for traveling (he is a traveling consultant, so having a big airport nearby is crucial). Some other options that we are looking at are Atlanta, Tampa Bay or St. Petersburg area, Miami maybe, and Charlotte, NC. I'm trying to focus on areas in the South or Southeast mainly. These aren't the only options, and am open to other suggestions. I've only traveled through Atlanta, Tampa, and Miami - never been to NC at all. So I have no idea what it would be like to live there or what kind of cities these places are. If anyone could provide any insight on how it is to live in any of these places, that would be great. We're just trying to blend a little of what we both want and find somewhere that would be good for both of us. So key points are: bigger city that has large airport nearby, lots of activity (like downtown life, etc), nicer weather than in the north, somewhere where you can drive your car to work (around a 30 min commute is fine) and not have to take pulic transportation, a fairly central place where you can drive a few hours and get to other interesting places, and nice housing opportunities (I definitely cannot do condo type living and prefer a suburban house with at least a 2 car garage). Thanks for any help!St. Louis and Kansas City are out - he already said no to those, which is fine with me also. Please don't think that my husband is entirely inflexible. Afterall, I don't want to go North either. Hadn't thought of Nashville, but will check it out. As far as kids, not sure that's in the cards for us. I'm already 43 (no kids), and while it's not out of the realm of possiblity, the chance of that happening at this point for me probably are not good. So schools are really aren't a primary concern. I know Dallas and Atlanta areas are HUGE and there's so many places to live. What would be some good options as far as an area to buy a home? We both make really good money, so a home around $300K $400K is not out of the question for us in the Dallas area. I know the Frisco area of Dallas is pretty far out and the Fort Worth area is pretty sparse - so probably will stay away from those two. Don't know anything about Atlanta or what areas are good/bad. more

Open Question: Does anyone know or remember the exact sex experience that produced ur first child?

Open Question: Should I try to prove my girlfriend wrong, and make up to her for the awkward moment we had? Help!?

I'm 18 years old. I'm just curious, do girls like it when their boyfriends try to prove them wrong as best they can when they feel like something might not be going well in the relationship? I've been with my girlfriend for a month now and she said recently that she doesn't like it really when i stand there with her by her car when she's like "i gotta go" and I make it kinda feel awkward since I continue to stand there lol. She says it doesn't feel like this is going right because of that, and that I seem to not pay attention sometimes. She said she doesn't really know if that's a real feeling, or if she's just tired. In reality though, I'm not that awkward, it's just that lately whenever I do that, it's when I'm trying to find a perfect time to kiss her and we like kissing eachother. But that was when I was just feeling tired a bit so it can make things awkward sometimes. But I want to try to prove her wrong, because I don't want her to think that there's something wrong with the relationship right now. I want to be the real me all the time, the one that she likes a lot:) How do I communicate with her about this or what should I do? A part of me wants to ask her out for friday night like do a walk on the beach or something that I know she likes doing a lot, and tell her that I owe her a good fun time without any awkwardness, to make up for that night. Is this a good idea? more

Open Question: Do girls like it when their boyfriends try to prove them wrong about a small flaw in the relationship!?

Open Question: How can a good looking guy talk to the average girl without creating something awkward?

I can't talk to girls, at least, not without being high as a kite or drunk. I didn't grow up thinking I was very good looking at all. I learned I was later as I developed. Girls ARE attracted to me; I can see it! Last Week, I was at the beach with my friends. We were all kind of high on some legal research chemicals; it was fun actually. That aside though. The reason I mentioned that is cause it gave my shy friend, Robby, the guts to go talking to girls. The thing is, I kept saying that the girls were looking at him, cause I was trying to encourage him, and it worked. But every girl kept looking at me, actually, I know, cause they looked right at me and smiled. A few of the girls from the first group he talked to and some from the next. I know for sure, cause when he went to talk to them, I sat back a ways and the girls were still looking away from him from time to time and flashing a smile once in a while. I smiled back but that was it. I finally got the nerve to walk up to the first group when they were leaving and say "hi." I asked which part of the Island they were from. And the one girl responded, "That way." She said this instead of saying the West side, or City, or anything. It made me feel kind of blown off, like she didn't want to speak to me. So I went back up the beach. Anyway, it's taken me forever just to get this far. I'm already 30 and I've dealt with this my whole life. I would really like to meet a good girl, well, and, truthyfully, have some AWESOME SEX. But this isn't happenin as long as meeting girls is so awkward. Anyway, I've come to know what it is. I'm a really decent looking guy. The reason the girl responded "that way" is because she was at a loss for words or shy, or whatever. I realize this afterwards after years of experience and finally figuring it out. I need bold women who carry on conversations I guess, intelligently. I don't know. For a good looking guy, you either got to be really bold and on top of everything with humor, be going after the really good looking girls (shit, they intimidate me!). Being better looking pushed a lot of girls away over the years. See, what it is, is that if you are not super outgoing and you don't respond to flirts from girls right away, because you are shy and ignorant to their language, like I was, these girls take a lack of response or the wrong response as a rejection real quick. In my mind, I'm still flowing, just "slowly." But by the time I ever got around to making the move after easing in and feeling comfortable, they usually kind of reject me. It's phucking awkward and sucks. So, see why I have to be loaded to even talk? I'm not the type to be able to pull up all kinds of rabbits out of my hat, and I'm already 30 and I can't do this sh..it anymore. I don't want to be 40 and saying the same phuckin thing as I was saying when I was 14, 20's, and now 30. Any help is appreciated.Oh yeah, I'm a big phucken geek really, always have been. I feel like people expect me to be extra cool and bold and all that stuff. I know, cause I've had enough experience to know that most of the dudes I've met and girls think I'm supposed to be some way I'm not because of my looks. It's actually caused me to be somewhat of a loner, because I don't want to live up to any expectations of what just isn't me. more

Open Question: How often are you supposed to apply sunscreen?

I just got a birthmark removed off of my face, and I am supposed to wear sunblock all the time because if not, that part of my skin will tan darker than the rest. My doctor recommended Neutrogena Sunblock SPF 85 .. http://fabulouslyglamorous.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/neutrogena-ultra-sheer-dry-touch-sunblock-spf-85_slideshow_image.jpg How often are you supposed to keep putting it on if you don't swim and your not at the beach, and just doing regular day to day things? When you are at the beach and do swim, how often should you put it on because it doesn't say. Also.. if I put sunblock on, and let it dry.. and then put aquaphor on it.. will the sunblock still work or will it not because I covered it with the aquaphor?http://images.allegrocentral.com/F6/C5/ff8081811c34c2bf011caeeafd4e0722-PRODUCT-BIG_IMAGE.jpg (That is what I'm supposed to use for 5 days, twice a day) I forgot to ask my doctor these questions and I haven't been able to get ahold of her! I don't want that part of my skin to tan so I really want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Thank you!! more

Open Question: What do you think of this poem I wrote for her? Do you think she'll like it?

We're both 17 and we broke up recently, as weird as it sounds she really hurt me but I still want to show her how much she means to me. Don't tell me that she could break hurt me again or that I should just move on - getting my heart broken is a risk I'm willing to take just to tell her how I reel about her. Anyway, here it is: Look up, look around you These people around you; they were all children once It doesn’t matter who we are now; once upon a time, we were all newborn, rocking in our cradles But that doesn’t make childhood any less special Look to your left, then to your right Look to your friends and family; they’ve all felt sadness and loss at some point But they’ve also known laughter, happiness, and maybe even love That doesn’t make any of these feelings less important Look up into the night sky Those glistening, bright white stars There are so many of them, more than there are grains of sand on every beach But that doesn’t make any one of them less amazing Look out, out to the warm horizon There are six billion people in the world right now; they were all children once They will all laugh, cry and smile; they will all look up and see the stars Maybe, they'll all fall in love But right now, there is no person No feeling, no diamond No star in the sky As beautiful as you are Ive posted this before I know. If you dont like poetry, then dont mention it :) more

I don't care what other people wear, but I don't even think I will ever find a nice wedding dress for me because all the designers ever want to make is strapless. I have not seen anyone even look good in a strapless dress, no matter what size they are (even though the bigger girls that pour out the top of their dress really kill me). And I think for church weddings they are totally inappropriate, Maybe for beach weddings they are cool. I was just wondering if anyone felt the same way and also, where to find pretty dresses with cap sleeves, or off the shoulder sleeves. more

Open Question: What do you think of this poem I wrote for her? Would she like it?

We're both 17 and we broke up recently, as weird as it sounds she really hurt me but I still want to show her how much she means to me. Don't tell me that she could break hurt me again or that I should just move on - getting my heart broken is a risk I'm willing to take just to tell her how I reel about her. Anyway, here it is: Look up, look around you These people around you; they were all children once It doesn’t matter who we are now; once upon a time, we were all newborn, rocking in our cradles But that doesn’t make childhood any less special Look to your left, then to your right Look to your friends and family; they’ve all felt sadness and loss at some point But they’ve also known laughter, happiness, and maybe even love That doesn’t make any of these feelings less important Look up into the night sky Those glistening, bright white stars There are so many of them, more than there are grains of sand on every beach But that doesn’t make any one of them less amazing Look out, out to the warm horizon There are six billion people in the world right now; they were all children once They will all laugh, cry and smile; they will all look up and see the stars Maybe, they'll all fall in love But right now, there is no person No feeling, no diamond No star in the sky As beautiful as you are Ive posted this before I know. If you dont like poetry, then dont mention it :) more

Open Question: Spray Tan vs. real tan?

Im heading off to the beach for a vacation tomorrow, and I am getting a spray tan tonight. Can someone tell me what the benefits of it are? Its mostly for health reasons, I'm really light skinned, and God knows that the beach will make me red as hell. Is a spray tan bad for you in any way, or is it better than like a tanning booth? Thanks. Also- any help for making my boobs look bigger in a bakini? Thanks! xoxo more

Resolved Question: How would one react to a relative loudly arguing in a hotel room that the 'non-arguer' purchased in/midl night?

[OK this is a long one, if you dont have the time to read, skip to the bottom where the astericks "*" are....!!!! but I would prefer you read!! (hah) ] Thanks everyone I'm just wondering if I did the right thing. I live about 4 hours from Anaheim, CA where Disneyland is located. I work in Real Estate so I travel a lot between my home location and the LA area. I happened to be working a job halfway between my home location and Anaheim when a cousin of mine invited me to go to Disneyland with them on a Sunday afternoon. I told her that I would love to go but was not sure if I could swing it...although I would do everything in my power to do so. My husband and I were working about 3 hours from Disneyland and we thought, well, after we're done doing some painting on this home that we're about to rent out maybe we can head over to use our 'free passes' (if you buy one day you get a free day, and we still had a free day to use) so we thought, well even if we only go for 5 hours that would be cool. Well apparently we were busier than we anticipated and knew we would never make it to Disneyland to use our free pass, so I thought, well, since I missed out, maybe I can rent a hotel room, and they can stay with us and we can all go to the beach the next day, which is very close to the proximity of Anaheim. Before I introduced her to the idea, she called me and said that Disneyland was full and that they would not be let in. We decided to bunk together (at a Radisson Hotel Suite location that would accomodate her boyfriend of 3 years, his 2 kids, and her 2 kids, all of the 4 from a previous marriage they both had). ALL WAS WELL!! The kids behaved well, we were all going to go to Disneyland/California Adventures the next day and have a great time!! The main reason I squeezed this mini trip in was because I grew up being best friends with her sister who was close to my age and never got a chance to really get to know this girl who is 4 years older than me). The kids went to bed early, and then we all had a little 'adult time' to wind down. My older cousin of 4 years and I went for a walk around the beautifully/classy landscaped hotel, while the guys relaxed and drank a few brewskies. When we returned, she told a lie that we had met some guys and that they were flirting with us...all of which was not true. I realized through that night, and earlier hang out sessions that she tries to make her boyfriend jealous....she asks him every day why he wont marry her....and he wont marry because they just got divorced from both of their previous marriages, and he wants to be precautious, (plus she's a little crazy). She thinks she's psychic, and believes with all her mighty powers that the book/movie "The Secret" will/can change anyones life. Basically its based on the mentality that if 'you believe' it will come to you. So all and all she started to pick a fight with this guy for NO REASON-----!! It quickly escalated and told them that if they should just leave. So goes into the childrens room of the suite and gets 'her' 2 kids, and tells the kids to 'get up' that they're being 'kicked out by Sandra'... but that was clearly not the case..... The whole fight started over stupid nonsense....and after she got all hyped up she told me that her boyfriend and his two kids could go to disneyland with us, and I responded by saying that our vehicle, truly, is filled with tools from our jobsites.... * * * * All and all....the basics of this are that they started fighting at 2:30 in the morning and did not stop until 5AM!! THEN they began fighting again (but *whisper* style) at 6:30AM until 7AM..... The next day, I told them that I was not going to Disneyland/California Adventures....they just went on like nothing happened...although I tried to avoid them while everyone gathered their belongings that morning. What do you think of this??? (OH ALSO, we chose that hotel, because all 4 kids, all 4 adults would have a place to sleep, it came with a FREE buffet breakfast for EVERYONE, complimentary and also a free shuttle to AND from Disneyland... Im trying to take the high road, I called her today and said that Its all 'ok' and that my husband and I every once in a while get into it, like any normal couple....But im just wondering...was it bad for me to tell her to 'get the heck out of my room' because they would not stop fighting??? more

Open Question: How long should I wait for her? Please help :) Please :)?

I met the most amazing girl while playing halo 3(video game). She was the kindest, most intelligent, caring, honest, (I could go on all day), and on top of everything, she looked just like a barbie to me. I have never met her in person but, we agreed to wait for each other and not look else where for love. We spend at least 4 hours together a day, and some days more than 9 hours :D I have been in that online relationship for 8 months and 16 days. We are the same age and we really cared for each other. We even got to saying, "I love you." But, I have not heard from her for exactly 6 days, 23 hours, and 32 minutes and I just don't know what to do. We fight a lot, but nothing as big as this one. I don't even know if she is alive or not :( But anyway, I should probably stop writing about our relationship because I know I will not stop anytime soon. I will paraphrase our last conversation and then I will ask for your opinion. She told me someone else told her, that they "love" her. "Love you much more than this online guy," which is completely wrong because I only get 6 hours of sleep every 2 days because I have to stay up late to spend time with her. But, I would do anything for her, so I don't mind giving up sleep for her at all. She said she wants to 'hug me, kiss me, wants me to sleep over(whether they be naughty or nice), go to the beach, cuddle, and even make love, when we are both ready' Then we had some more small talk, and then she "goodbye :)" With a smiley face. That was almost a week ago :( I wrote her a letter everyday, and even made three video's for her hoping that we can just talk about it and work it out. I really LOVE this girl. What should I do? How long would you wait for someone you really love? A day? A week? Month? Year? or Seven years, like the guy in the Notebook? Because right now, it feels like I'm in that movie :( And when I said "wait," I meant 'not even considering another person to love and staying completely faithful to her' Please help me out with your opinion :) Please :) I will take help from anyone that offers it :) more

Open Question: First Love Help? Please Help :) Please :)?

Okay....ready? I met the most amazing girl in the world, while playing Halo 3(video game). She lives in Cali and I live in Virginia, mhm, 3 hour time difference and 2678 miles apart. At first she was just another teammate, but since we spent almost 4 hours a day playing together, so I asked her to be my girlfriend. Like, officially. We did everything normal couple do, but just online. We even fought, like straight up argue, a LOT :( Exactly 6 days, 21 hours, and 17 minutes ago; was the last time I heard from her. She said "I DON'T LOVE YOU." But, I have been thinking about it, and I think she said it because I told her to say it. I have such strong feeling for her. I want to know where she is every moment of the day. I want to know if she is safe, happy, laughing and just enjoying life. I even worry about the dumb stuff, like, I want to know if she is hungry or not. I love her. I really LOVE her. And I know what it means, I even wrote a poem about what if means, so I know what it means :D :( Anyway, let me recap our last conversation and then ask you for your opinion. She told me someone else told her, that they "love" her. "Love you much more than this online guy," which is completely wrong because I only get 6 hours of sleep every 2 days because I have to stay up late to spend time with her. But, I would do anything for her, so I don't mind at all. She said she wants to "hug me, kiss me, wants me to sleep over, whether they be naughty or nice, go to the beach, cuddle, and even make love, when we are both ready." Then we had some more small talk, and then she "goodbye." I cried, well, I was still crying from the day before that, because of one of our fights. But that's the last I heard from her. I wrote her a letter everyday, and made her two video begging to stay, and try to work this out like usual. Well anyway, no reply, no sign of whether she is alive or not, no ANYTHING. So, how long should I wait for her? A day? Week? Month? Year? Two? or Should I wait seven years like the guy in the Notebook? Please HELP me, I just want to hear your opinion :) Please :) more

Open Question: what song has these lyrics: "welcome to the beach house, where we drink til we cant stand up again"?

what song has these lyrics: "put your clothes on inside out, give people somethin to talk about. write your story... and every thing that i see from the corner of my eye, makes me wanna find a place and lose track of time. every thing that i see from the corner of my eye, give me hope, give me strength, give me a place to lose my mind. welcome to the beach house, where we drink til we cant stand up again. and we never get caught in the rain..." more

Open Question: Is this a good beging to a story?

The warm air was blowing across her face as Zoey Caster walked along the beach. Her violet eyes narrowed as the wind became stronger and the sand blew in every direction. She looked into the sky and saw the red and orange sun just starting to set. Zoey stopped walking and lay down in the sand to watch the remaining sunset. In, out, in, out, she watched her chest rise and fall. She closed her eyes and let her head rest. Zoey drifted off to sleep, totally unaware to what was happening on the other side of the sea, deep inside a dark, old cave. Plans were being made, discussed. That's all i have so far, i know where i am going with it, but i wanted to make sure that the first few paragraphs were interesting before i continued...I dont really care if you criticize it, i just want honesty!! more

Open Question: Another story question? Please help!?

Okay so i added a little more things and i need some more comments. Should something happen between Violet and Roger or Melissa and Roger? Should there be a shark attack? If so to who? Roger, Melissa, Violet, or Peter? What else should happen in the story? What should be the mural of the story? Please help :) I'd appriecate it :) Thanks “Hurry up!” I yelled from the car window as my little brother came running down the steps dragging his SpongeBob towel behind. He jumped into the back of my convertible and we drove off. “Come on” Melissa said as we laid down our beach towels on the warm sand. It was a bright sunny day in July and nobody was at the beach down in Florida. Turns out Melissa, Peter and I were alone. “You know you want to go talk to him” She pointed her freshly painted finger nail towards Roger, the lifeguard. I’ve been in love with him since the third grade, but never told anyone besides Melissa. “Shut up” I spat and popped a grape into my mouth. The warm juice flowed down my throat making me cough it back up. “You know I would only make a fool of myself.” Melissa squeezed out her tanning lotion onto her palm and rubbed it into her arm. She didn’t say anything because she knew it was true. “See, you believe me.” I turned over onto the towel and let the sun warm my back. “No, it’s not that. It’s just that I’m kind of sick of you not showing who you really are. You could have a chance with him if you tried.” I didn’t feel like talking back so I just said “Ill think about it” and then after successfully eating a grape, I walked down to the water. Dipping my feet in the gray misty water felt good after walking on the hot sand. I made sure to keep an eye on Peter who was playing with the sea shells on the bottom of the ocean floor. He was 2 when he almost drowned in our backyard swimming pool. It’s only been 4 years ago. It feels like yesterday. I close my eyes and remember that awful day. I was 14 at the time and it was a late June day when the sun was just about to go down. My dad and mom went into the house with my Aunt Sophia and my Uncle Randy letting me watch over Peter as he swam. I picked him up and put him on the edge of the pool and told him to wait while I got a towel. When I came back, Peter wasn’t on the ledge anymore. I immediately flung off my sandals and jumped over the side of the pool. Frantically, I yanked him up by his Scooby doo swimsuit and gave him CPR right away. He soon started breathing and coughing up water. That’s the closest I’ve ever been to death or someone dying in front of me. I remember his purple/blue face and his blood red eyes…. “Violet, Violet!” I turned around to see Melissa tugging at my pony tail with a bright red lollypop in her hand. “What?” “Look” She said and yanked my pony tail the other way so I could turn my head. “What the hell!” I made a grunting sound as I stood up in the water and knowing that I just crushed a million little bugs, I swiped at my foot then dipped my hand back in the water. She turned around and saw that I wasn’t paying attention so she pulled the string to my bikini top and I immediately fell into the water. She was going to get it. I tied the soft lace back up the stood up. “What?” She pointed to Roger sitting on the lifeguard’s chair. “And?” I exclaimed not surprised that Melissa was going to show me something pointless like she always does. “And, he’s wet! Cant you see?!” “And?” “Erg. Look at that family right there.” She pointed to a white family holding there little girl. “Okay.” “So he just saved her from drowning!” Melissa squealed with delight and then turned back to me to just see me sitting back down into the water. Her smile faded, almost slowly like a cartoon. I looked back at Peter still playing with the sea shells. At least he was okay. That’s all I cared about. “You’re so lame. You should go talk to him.” Melissa walked back over to her towel, brushed off the sand stuck to her feet, and applied more tanning lotion to her arms. She gave me a dirty look before putting on her sun glasses and lying down. I tried to make myself feel better by saying that it’s my life not hers and that Roger probably wouldn’t even care if I talked to him. Besides, I have to keep my eye on Peter. Thanks again :) Help soon please :D Do you like it so far?Please help! more

I suppose I have larger thighs than the rest of the girls at my school, and it makes me sort of self conscious. Is it just me? What can I do?

Resolved Question: Can you rate this poem maybe give some ideas to make it better?

As I sit on this empty beach Of some desolate forgotten shore, For expressive words I reach To say what's in my heart and more. It's obvious to my discerning eye That when people mope and sigh Pining over some unrequited love Or some perceived misfortune from above; Out of the emptiness of their heart They try wishing upon a shooting star And their longing gaze shoots out far So they may from their pain forever part. But as I gaze across the blood-red sea Shining dully under the silvered moon The hopelessness of such an act I see As no help will come of this anytime soon. more

Open Question: First time taking our daughter on vacation (3 trips planned) any advice? What are fun things to do at these...?

First time taking our daughter on vacation (3 trips planned) any advice? What are fun age appropriate things to do at these places? Hi hope everyone is having a good day today! Anyways we have 3 trips planned over the course of the next year and a half. Does anyone have any advice for traveling with a baby? Any tips? Things we need to consider and make sure we have? By the way the second trip our two dogs will be coming with us as well (they always go there with us)...so any advice on traveling with a 10 month old and 2 dogs will be appreciated as well) First trip she will be 4 months old and 3rd trip she will be 16 months) (We will be taking her pack n play) First trip will be our daughter first trip. She will be 4 months (almost 5 months, we are talking a week shy) and we are going to take her to the Great Smokey Mountains for a night. We will be visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Is this a good first trip for my daughter (I hope so, it isn't too far away (maybe 4 hours) and its already booked). We are planning to visit Ripleys Aquarium, what are some other things we can do that might be fun with her while there. (We chose the aquarium because she is super observant and we think the fish will catch her eye and she will enjoy that....obviously she won't remember the trip she is so young, but Mommy needs a night away, going through Travel withdraw...we have always traveled a lot) The next trip we are taking is 8 hours away to see family. She has grandparents that we are visiting that at that point she will have only see 1 time prior, which is coming up at Easter (they are coming to see her). She will be 10 months old. The big issue here is our dogs will be coming with us as well. (A Terrier mix and a Poodle) But with the SUV it shouldn't be a big problem. And we are staying with my parents. 3rd trip Myrtle Beach SC, age 16 months. 15 hours away. (Stoping half way at relatives for a or two.) What would be some fun activities to do at Myrtle Beach with a child of 16 months? Thanks This is all new for us, she is our first daughter and an she is an only child more

Resolved Question: Greyhound Owners in Australia - is it fair that our pooches can't run free on a DOG beach?

Legally in Australia all Greyhounds must be leashed at all times in public (even in off-leash dog parks). My boy loves the local dog beach where we take both him and our Labrador. I do the right thing and leash him on a long training line at the beach, so at least he can move away from my side to meet, greet and play a bit "without mum" by his side! Our Labrador keeps racing back and looking at me imploring me to let his mate off the leash so he can play chasy as they do at home - but with a bit more space. Many people at the beach ask me if he is going to run away, or is he vicious because he has to be leashed - all are horrified when I tell them he is simply discriminated against because of his breed. Without exception he makes friends with them and their dogs, and I hate to keep him leashed. I can't leave him at home and only take the Labrador - he loves the paddle in the sea, and the socialising, and it would be awful leaving him behind. I have actually written to the local council asking them to clarify whether they would actually police such a law on a dog beach, and eagerly await their reply. I have seen several others with Greyhounds off leash at this beach, and the owners say they have never been in trouble. I however don't want a fine! What do you think - should Greyhounds be allowed off-leash at least at a fully enclosed, purpose defined DOG beach?The GAP dogs have passed temperament testing, and don't require muzzling for this reason. It seems to me that there are MANY breeds who wouldn't pass the same test loose on the beach.... Mine is actually scared of Chihuahuas as he has been attacked twice by them, yet he is the one on the leash by law????Sorry, I didn't explain GAP - this is the local Greyhound Adoption Program, backed by the States Greyhound Racing body. They temperament test the dogs before adopting them out, ones with high prey drive are not re-homed. Dogs who pass this test wear a special green collar to show they are exempted from the state Greyhound muzzling law which states all Greyhounds in public must be muzzled and leashed - do you wonder why people who have never met one of these gorgeous dogs think they must be vicious? more

Open Question: Does salt water damage your hair?

I hear spraying salt water in your hair after you shower makes it wavy. I know everytime I go to the beach my hair looks great after a dip, and after it dries, but then it smells like salt water. So my question is (obvisouly), does salt water damage your hair, and does it make your hair smell like the sea. Oh yeah, and chlorine. I joined a diving team and I desperately need to have my roots done, if I could just go back to my natural colour, it was a beautiful copper, I'd be happy, but what can I do so my hair doesn't turn green from the chlorine if I dye it. Any tips for this would be great.Does it need to be Sea Salt? more

Resolved Question: This girl said she liked me but has been texting me less and less each day. What's going on?

We hit it off pretty well about only a week ago, and everything has been going fine except for the decrease in texts out of no where. She is comfortable with other people knowing I like her too, and has made it clear she likes me....I just don't get it.The last text I sent I asked her out, but that was like 6 hours ago. I'm not over texting her or anything either. If she doesn't respond I just might send one more and that's it. more

Open Question: what can i do to get over her?

But I sorta found that a date myself? Well anyways I didn't say too much but I felt a little wierd next few months thinking sumthing was really wrong and she blew up on me again and said that she thinks we should break up aftert 17 months she put the blame on me all day when I tried to figure out what was wrong and what I could do to make it work but she stretched it out till I felt like leaving and she stopped me and said its me I don't feel like what we both want to do as jobs will work out together and she's now only going to be a vet not a zoologist like she used for the excuse! Well it made me feel worse than I already did its been 8 months now that we have been split I stay home all day on my computer other than work I don't seem to want to be around anyone is why I stay home I always think about her so I don't think dating anyone else would be a good idea. I listen to a lot of theory of a deadman and shinedown bvut it also maked me think of her but I don't want to not listen to their music cuz of her cuz they are awesome! Can anyone help me by answering why I still feel like this after 8 months what can I do to feel better more
