Resolved Question: How many Dogs is too many?

Now, please make sure you read this WHOLE post because you really need to. I am doing a little research for my story and I have been looking for how many dogs is too many. But none have really answered my question. These parents are Multi-Millionares(Remember, this is Fiction) and they move to Los Angeles, California to a 50 acre place. The house is a 3br, 3 bath house but the rooms are about 20x20 in size because the house is huge. Would 20 dogs be too many even if they were getting GREAT care?Scratch that! I went looking for a place with 50+ acres in California and found a place with 280 Acres! more

Open Question: My once girl friend & I rented a house together in los angeles county. She is on the lease. She is moving out?

She is moving & I am staying. She says after she moves shes going to start eviction on me cause she on the lease & not me. Can she do this ? Also the house we rent is in escrow right now on a short sale. She says she can do this cause she is on the lease & I'm not moving when she does. She is saying because she is on the lease that its her responsibilty to get me out of the house after she moves out & breaks the lease. The landlord/house owner is in escrow on the house. Wouldnt he have to start the eviction on me. If she moves she no longer lives here & she breaks the lease wich the owner of the house is willing to do for her. Please give me feedback. The house is in los angeles county !In Ca & Los Angles a person has legal resedence after 28days. I have been here since we moved in acording to the law here I have to be legaly evicted !!!In LA County even if a new owner buys the house they still have to go through the legal process. I have already talked to the LAPD. So they have to evict in court anyone in the house. She thinks if she moves then she has to evict me cause her name is on the lease ! But acording to the police the owner has to evict me.If you dont live in Los Angeles or know the laws of renters rights here please dont waste my time ! ThanksI left this out all. She thinks she will have the right to evict me cause the lease is in her name & she dosnt want to have anything on her credit record. The owner of this house knows I am not leaving yet. The escorow just opened this week on the house. The owner of the house & her are friends kinda. But I belive in Ca & Los Angeles County that the owner of the property has to start the eviction on me. He is going to let her out of her lease ie: break the lease. But the bank already has the lease because it will roll over to the person buying the house. We have lived here for almost a year now. The owner of this house was about to go into forcloser when he took an offer on the house. I belive when she moves that it she will have nothing to do with this house any longer. The pwner has no money to pay to do an eviction. So the new property owner after close of escrow will have to give me 30 days notice ! Thats what the police & the law says. more

Open Question: What do you think of this prologue?

"We're moving," my mom announced with a serious look on her face. She could've dropped a bombshell, like "you're adopted" or "we're really vampires" and I couldn't have felt any worse than I did just then. This was the first time that I heard these words. Not knowing the exact meaning of “moving”, I stared at her blankly. But as each letter clicked in to my head, I suddenly began to understand. This meant that my friends would no longer be friends but more like distant acquaintances, my school would no longer be called Rose Fields High, and my favorite teacher’s name wouldn’t be Mr. Vandenberg. Everyone was silent for a moment, and all I could hear was the ticking of our wooden clock, and the crackling of the fireplace. After a long pause, my older brother started arguing viciously with my parents. A vase shattered to the ground, and bits of glass went flying everywhere. “Alex, to your room NOW” my dad yelled sternly. “You’re ruining my life!” my brother yelled back, and ran angrily up the stairs. My brother’s life was perfect at school, as he was easily one of the most popular kids, with his golden blonde hair, blue eyes, and big muscles. But at home not so much. He always seemed to be fighting with my parents. I don’t remember a day without them arguing over his grades, or how his clothes were inappropriate, or even how he shouldn’t eat in the living room. I, on the other hand, was a goody-two shoe (or so everyone told me, and even though I didn’t want to admit it, I knew it was true), picked my friends wisely, had boring straight chestnut-brown hair, a plain face, and dark green eyes. My brother and I were complete opposites. I didn't even think we were from the same parents. Still sitting on the sofa, I realized that I had misinterpreted these words. My life would never be the same. “Ana?” I heard my mom say, in a calming voice. “City? State? Far?” I stuttered, thinking of every possible place we could be moving to. “Sweetie, we’re moving to Los Angeles.” I sat silently, my face pale as a ghost’s. No, no, no, no. 1000 miles was too much. What would we be doing in an enormous city like that? We’d get lost, kidnapped, robbed! Every possible horrifying thought came to my mind. As I started realizing what this meant, I got up to my feet. “You can’t do this!” I screamed, anger boiling up inside of me. But unfortunately my parents’ minds were made up. And you see, when my parents made up their minds, there was no turning back. They were also those kinds of parents that have sadistic tendencies, like, bringing clowns to their birthday parties, flirting with their teachers, and embarrassing their kids in front of their friends. But that didn’t really matter, seeing as I will no longer have any friends. more

Open Question: Are people nicer in New York or California?

I live in CA but want to move to NY SO bad. I love the whole East Coast feel just from visiting, tho I've never actually lived there. I love cold weather and hate the sun in California. Also, I think I'd really like walking places as NYer's do...cause LA/CA traffic is HORRIBLE! Are people nice on the East Coast? I've heard people say yes, and others say no. Personally I think a lot of Los Angeles residents are conceited an superficial, even tho I live here. Thank you! more

Open Question: Scared about new school...?

I just moved to Missouri from Los Angeles, California (lived there whole life, now I just turned 14)... And I'm really nervous about starting school! My old school was outdoors, indoor classrooms and no "hallways," and we ate outside; or in the gym only if it was raining. And we had no lockers, just carried our backpack from class to class every day for our regular schedule. And if you were tardy, you were tardy. Three tardies, though, brought you a detention. My new school is completely indoors, has lockers, tight hallways that look exactly the same, no air conditioning, and weird rules/routines!!! 1. No backpacks. We're only allowed to use nylon bags... O.o 2. Every morning we do some "West Walk." Before school in the hallways, we can't go straight to our lockers and talk/get ready... We have to keep walking in ONE direction around the school. Every level has a specific direction... And even if your locker is RIGHT THERE you can't fight the current to get to it, you have to go all the way around the school. If you DO fight the current, a teacher will pull you aside.... R.I.P. 3. The schedules have A and B days alternating!? 4. After the bell rings they have a "Teacher Sweep" where some teachers go through the halls looking for "stray" students, and even if you're lost they'll take you to a room and make you write a letter on why you're late and how you can avoid it next time... Not getting lost? O.o And I don't remember where my locker is or any of my classes/how to get to them, and to top it off I don't know anyone at the school! (Obviously) And I don't know what I'm going to do with adjusting and finding my way around... I'm so scared about making friends and trying not to get lost and I don't know what to do! :( Sorry this is so long.. :/ Thank you! <3 more

Resolved Question: The Dog Section is NOT into Home Defense. Mind if I ask this question here?

1) Dad died, left me cash. I decided I never wanted to pay rent or make a mortgage payment. I used the money to buy a house free and clear. It was, admittedly a stupid decision. I bought a house in Echo Park, Los Angeles, which is a BAD neighborhood. I did this because A) I didn't know HOW bad and B) It is close to a large community in Los Angeles of MY people (Silver Lake). 2) So I fortified the House: Burglar Doors, Burglar Bars, Gate now has huge Master Lock, motion activated floodlights, very expensive unpickable locks that cannot be copied at a locksmith, alarm, Walter PP 7.65mm jammed in my belt when I step outside to take out the trash, pump action 20 gauge with buckshot in the closet, 9 mm Makarov wrapped in a towel, shoved up in the upholstery of my driver's seat in my car. And a dog. 3) Boy, did the pound see me coming. I know nothing about dogs. I assumed German Shepherds were the best. (What do I know). So I went to the pound. I went to get a German Shepherd. The guy at the pound decide to unload a big dog. There is a dog called a "Shiloh Shepherd." It is HUGE. Breed standard for German Shepherds males is 85 pounds. This thing is 115 pounds. And still growing. And it has a huge fluffy coat. It LOOKS like it could protect you. WRONG. It has had all the good working protection instinct bred out of it. It is bred to be BIG and have a pretty, fluffy coat. Most German Shepherds are higly intellIgent. This dog is a moron. The dog doesn't understand "Fetch." I throw the stick or ball, and the dog just stares at me with eyes of moronic love thinking "Wow Master! You are the Greatest! It's so cool the way you make that ball move through the air. Amazing!' The dog is a coward. Instead of staying outside at night to protect me, he whines and wants to sleep in the house with me. He doesn't stay outside and growl at bad guys. He stays in the air conditioned house and follows me from room to room. He is afraid of thunder, gunshots/backfires/firecrackers, strangers, and fire engines and sirens. He hates being alone and has a spastic fit of joy everytime I come home. When startled in the house, he runs whining to me for protection. So here I have a dog as big as I am (I am 118 pounds) and I have these enormous logs outside to clean up every day, I have vet bills, I have to pay for dog food, and I have to clean his nasty food and water dish, and bathe his smelly carcass in the tub once a week. 4) Is there any way to make this dog useful, and a protection dog? Or do I just need to write him off, take him back to the pound, and go buy the meanest pit bull I can from one of the neighbors (who all have pit bulls)? more

Open Question: What do you think of my future plans after high school? Please be honest!?

Ok, well this is a very basic plan, and I am VERY ambitious. After I graduate high school I would like to get a job full time and stay at home for like 1-2 years(my parents will let me live at home for free to save money up) and work and save money. I would then like to transfer to Seattle and live there for a few years and such and establish residency and go to college to get instate tuition, either a university or community college then transfer to university. I currently live in central Minnesota. Ok this is the SIMPLE outline of my plan. I think this plan will work, first off what do YOU think of this outline plan? Now obviously there is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more too it, and im well aware of that too. I already know a lot of things, but there is A LOT I don't know. My ambition came from we were at a Japanese steakhouse earlier sitting around a grill with other people watching them grill steak and rice on it and entertaining us by doing things like twirling the utensils through the air and lighting the grill on fire. It was AWESOME! Im 18 and im going to be a senior and will be class of 2011. I was there with my older sister whos 23 and has worked at walmart since she graduated a couple years ago and a couple years ago moved out and currently does nothing but live in a basic apartment and works at walmart. They had these other people there at the steakhouse talking about what they do for a living, someone owns a limo company and has traveled a lot, another person works in a prison and they both said they recently went to San Diego, and the waitress said shes going to london later this month and she said she came from Indonesia. My sister told me that we have really boring lifes, and I have a lot of ambition to do exciting stuff like that, and obviously its going to take a lot of work, my mom told me that they had to work hard for all this stuff and it didn't just fall into their laps. I now have a ton of ambition to do something big and exciting, and thats why im planning now. Ok back to my plan. I would like to get a job at a basic retail store like Target or Best buy and work there for a few years living at home then transferring out there. Now I know NOTHING about transferring jobs. How exactly does it work? Also, will you go back to being paid a lower wage or will you keep your current wage? Also, is it the same for every store or does every story vary? If I can't get a job at a big box retail store with locations nationwide, I would work wherever I was able too and would keep on trying to get a retail job so I would be able to easily transfer. Now heres another thing, the cost of living difference. Im from Central Minnesota and a nice one bedroom apartment can be found easily under $550. Now Seattle isn't as expensive as San Francisco or New York City or Los Angeles, but its still really expensive especially where I am coming from. Thats why I would like to save up money for a few years. I DO know that Washington's minimum wage is one of the highest in the country, its $8.55 I believe(How many high school students know this?), which is cool. Now heres the thing about getting a basic apartment. I would just need a basic 1 bedroom or studio apartment. The apartments I have lived in have been terrible and I don't really mind them at all. I don't need french doors or stainless steel appliances or hardwood floors or a pool or fitness center or valet trash service. I also would be open to living anywhere in the Seattle area, even in a suburb thats still a little ways from Seattle. Now places like Redmond, WA are really cool, but also home to lots of high tech companies and the cost of living is ridiculous. Now, I would have lots of money saved up, but apartments generally want your income to be around 3 times your rent(Again! How many high school students know this?!?!) and would money in a bank account count towards getting an apartment or whatever? Also, can you have someone from out of state cosign? My dad would probably cosign for me if I have worked a few years livign at home and have tons saved up. Now heres another thing, I have never been to the city. I would need to go there to look at apartments and put an application and deposit down on one, and also get to know the area and check it out and see what its like. I may even need to make more then one trip there to check stuff out. This I am aware of and will definitely cost money. Will I fly or drive? This I don't know, I will have to figure out whats cheaper and such. I have a plan for when I get there as well! I want to go to college eventually out there. I will have to work for a couple years and establish residency so I can get in state tuition. I know you simply can't get in state tuition by moving there, I will have to look up the requirements for Washington and see what I need to do. It shouldn't be too hard, like register to vote and apply for a Washington Drivers License. What do I waContinued from above:What do I want to do? Again, I don't know this year I am definitely thinking about it and have ideas. Also, Seattle has tons of high tech companies and everything, some places I would love to work at. So I will have to work hard and study hard and do very well in college. Minnesota also has some of the highest community college tuition in the nation. As you can see Minneapolis Charges $151 for a credit for instate and Seattle charges $87. http://www.minneapolis.edu/prospectivestudents/knowingthecost/index.cfm http://www.seattlecolleges.edu/DISTRICT/prospectivestudents/tuitionfees.aspx SO what do you think of my rough plan? Please be honest. My parents want me to do more then they ever did and I want to too. They would love to see me move far away, though they want me to be ready and prepared and realistic and everything. If you took the time to read all this I REALLY REALLY appreciate it. I don't think this plan is all that ridiculous. Now if I was sayign I want tContinued from above:Now if I was sayign I want to move to Seattle as soon as I graduate and i was asking how I can get an apartment and a job before I graduate, NOW then I would be incredibly crazy and pretty stupid.I also have some previous questions about volunteering out of state. I wasnt serious with those. This question I am very, very serious. more

Voting Question: Getting an apartment without proof of income?

I really would like to move out on my own (i'm 19). I work "under the table" and bring in about 2800-3200 depending on the month. I have just over 5,000 dollars saved. I recently saw an advertisement for these tiny "micro lofts" in Los Angeles that would be perfect for me, and go for 700-900 depending on the unit. How can I move into this complex, or any other for that matter without proof of income?!

Resolved Question: How much money should I save to move out on my own?

I am 25 right now but I am going to school to become Respiratory Therapist. I have an internship that will start in Februrary of 2011 and will last for about 14 months so I will be done with it between April and June 2012. It is a long ways off, I know but I like to make sure that I have a plan for my life. Well anyways I moved back in with my parents because when I am in my internship year it is full time and it is a paid internship. I am going to work a job to survive but I won't be able to live on my own during that time. I want to move out as soon as I am done with school and hopefully have a job offer. My question though is how much should I save to start to live on my own in Los Angeles or San Diego California. I have about $5000.00 saved up right now but I don't want to move out and be all poor and have no savings for rainy days. How much should I save for security, first month and last month, to have utilties turned on, needed appliances and most importantly furniture. I have been looking online at general prices and they vary so greatly. I would like to live in either a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment. So any advice that you can give me on how much to save up and even what type of furniture and things I will need to move out on my own that would be great. The first time I moved out I went and volunteered at a facility that provided you with everything that you need and so I don't have any experience of paying for the needed things.I currently do live in the Los Angeles Area. I live in Glendale and do realize that it is very expensive to live. I have also considered moving to North Carolina but do not know how much Respiratory Therapist get paid out there. In California the starting pay for the field that I am going into is 25 an hour or about 52,000 a year. more

L.A. is expensive but is Miami the same? Also is there a good amount of jobs in a recession like this?

My landlord raised my rent to 6%. Los Angeles has an apartment rent stabilization ordinance allowing only a 3% increase in rent for July 2010- June 2011. My landlord states this does not apply because he claims I am renting a "condo" and there is no rent control in Westwood. There is no HOA fee, no common area, and the landlord owns all the units. What is my next move? Call city hall? HUD? more

Resolved Question: What can I do to get out of my mother's grasp?

I am 18. I have no job, car, or anything of value. I am still dependent on my mother and she treats me like dogs..t because of it. She tells me to be a man and move out, but I have absolutely nowhere to go whatsoever. If I could get a job, believe me I would, but the only job that would take me is the military because I have no job experience. I got good grades in high school and got some rewards but my mother wanted to move to Los Angeles from Mississippi, so I can no longer use my grants to pay for college until I get my residency which takes a year. I have seriously considered joining the army as this would be my ONLY way out besides the streets or joining a gang which I will not do. Does anybody have any suggestions? more

Voting Question: why does my friend lies so much?

my friend and i are both 16 and my friend is a compulsive liar, he lies so much about things especially about money. Here's the thing i recently moved back from Alaska to my hometown Los Angeles, we were both best friends before i moved to AK and we kept in touch after i moved to AK then we started hanging out when i came back from AK (i think that make sense LoL). Anyways he is the only friend i have in California and i still haven't attended school in California so i havent made any new friends. The point is that he lies so much about money like one time i told him i was going to Seattle and San Fransisco for vacation then one month later when i return from vacation he told me he went to NYC while i was gone and that he was going to Mexico later this month. i knew he was lying but i didnt say anything i almost feel like he was trying to impress me or like he jealous of me. He also lies about whats he doing like when i bbm him he always says "text me later im shopping at bloomingdales" i know he lying because he cant afford anything there, last time we both went to bloomingdales he didnt buy anything because he says "he cant afford it" that doesnt make sense because he always says he buys all his clothes there. How do i confront him of his lying? should i even say anything? or just ignore him until i make new friends this coming school year? more

Resolved Question: Is pioneer square Seattle safe ?

I am moving from Boston to Seattle with my boyfirend and dog and we found a place in Pioneer square and put a deposit down because it was such a good deal for the size of the apartment. Now I keep reading about how dangerous it is. The apartment is right next to the Compass Homeless shelter on south washington and alaskan way, its in an old loft building and i thought it was a nice area because it has water views. I keep reading that i wont even be able to walk down the street without getting harrased or mugged. Keep in mind that me and my boyfriend used to live in Boyle Heights which is a so called "unsafe" area in East Los Angeles, and we never had any problems. Is it really that bad ? should i lose out on my deposit and find a different place ? would like to hear from people who live in the are or can compare it to LA or Boston/New York. thanks more

Resolved Question: Should I switch high schools?

Hiya. I'm 15 and currently attending one of the best schools in Los Angeles. But lately I've been having doubts. My mom live in El Paso Texas, and I been thinking of switching. At my high school I am right now, I'm a total loser. Everyday I sit with my twin, and the only "friends" I had were forced and didn't even like us. But my sister thinks we should stay because its a good school and if we leave we will lose are place and chance of going to UCLA/ or good schools. Plus she is taking AP World and has to do some summer assignment. But we both agreed that if we moved it might be for the better. We can be with our mom (We don't really see her, and she says she might die soon :/) and we can get free braces (we need them!, it was expensive in LA) and learn spanish, and just learn things in a different perspective. But I'm scare because I'm half black and the mexican/ black tension might be a little to much.We use to go here when we were younger and we were the only black people, but if we move I can be more confident and ect. I know in LA it exist (the tension between black/mexicans). And I don't want to be the only black looking person in the class. And the girls here are a little mean (most) and I don't want to be a total loner and regret the decision of moving. PLEASE HELP. more

Voting Question: I've got a 1k+ speeding ticket; which I can't pay . . .?

I live in Los Angeles and I've got 14 weeks to pay off my ticket (based off of the superior court date on the ticket). The price is approx. $1,300 dollars. And, I was cited for doing 90 in the 65 and not having proof of insurance at the time. Fortunately, I was able to find my insurance later. Unfortunately, it had expired. I didn't/don't have a job and I go to school full-time at USC. What's my next best move(s) in terms of legal recourse and just (over all) taking care of this situation? ==== F.Y.I. This would be my first ever ticket and/or confrontation with police authority and law. I didn't complain when I got the ticket and, I've got only one or two insignificant jobs before when I was like 18. I should mention, I dabble in the computer filed of proggraming and GFX design but, I don't have any luck with that on finding jobs because so many companies want people with more experience. I'm 22 now. So, life's been fun and a learning experience. Now, I humbly come to the yahoo answer community for your valued answers. Please help me stay out of jail!!! more

Resolved Question: Where should I move next year?

I'm graduating college soon. Originally, my family was from New York, but we moved to Los Angeles when I was still a kid. I've always felt way more connected to the East coast so I moved to Boston for my undergrad degree. Now I'm about to graduate and I can't decide for the life of me where I should go. I absolutely loved Boston for college, but don't want to stay there after college. So I need some outside input! Please respond what you think even if you haven't traveled very much. The main options are 1) New York, either the city of one of the boroughs, 2) Los Angeles, back with my parents so I won't have to pay rent, 3) Cleveland, or 4) somewhere random I haven't thought of yet. Pros and Cons~~~ 1) NYC Pros - Tons of family to help me out initially - Awesome city - lots of job opportunites Cons - Crazy expensive - overwhelmingly large city 2) Los Angeles Pros - Won't have to pay rent - good weather Cons - have to live with my crazy parents - dealing with my crazy friends - I kind of hate LA, that's why I left 3) Cleveland Pros - Love the Midwest <3 - My best friend from college lives there, she's basically the sister I never had - inexpensive for a US city Cons - What's in Cleveland? - Lots of jobs?? Or somewhere completely random... I don't know... I have been leaning towards Cleveland lately just because the Midwest is a friendly place and I'm a little bit shy. Also, my friend lives there and would be able to help me out. I've lived in a lot of places and I might get bored of such a small city yet on the other hand I haven't found what I was looking for in the places I've lived in. Anyway, please answer!!! I really don't know what to do and I have to decide within the next couple of months. more

Resolved Question: Would you read this kind of story?

(Sorry if its a lot of detail. But I plan that it will be a pretty lengthy story.) So basically, the story is about a teenage (to later on young 20 year old) girl named Astrid Velasco who is in high school and who dreams of becoming an actress one day, but never really pursued it. She lives an average life in an above average income community in Southern California, yet her parents have financial issues struggling to give her and her two siblings the life they never had as low income immigrants from Mexico. She moved there from Los Angeles starting her sophmore year in high school. Astrid is considered to be very smart, but she slacked off alot in school and got by on C+ and B - averages. The story begins with Astrid looking forward to the school prom and high school graduation. She goes to prom, but doesn't have a good time, and suspects that her boyfriend is going to dump her. The day after prom, her best friend falls into a coma due to a food allergy. The following day, her boyfriend dumps her after school under pretext that "feelings change" and Astrid is understanding, but a bit heartbroken. She's ok, only to recieve news a few hours later that her friend passed away that same day. Her heart is shattered and she struggles with the loss of her role model and most respected friend. Despite wanting to not go to school anymore, she manages to get through the last two weeks and graduate. Things are put into perspective, and Astrid decides to at least try at her dream because life is too short to not take advantage of living it the way one wants to. She moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and begins to work under the stage name of Aly Santos while going to a local community college. She works at a restaurant for two years without much luck in finding her big break. The restaurant is sold to a different owner. She meets the owner named Luis Valentino who is also a very successful director. He gives her her first real acting job as the main girl in a music video for the band Chazzy for their song "Dawn Savior". Working on set, she meets the lead singer Ricky Budd who is infamous for being the stereotypical party hardy want to be rock star womanizer. Aly can't help but feel that she knows him from somewhere. As time passes, Luis Valentino begins to romance Aly to become his, but around that time, she realizes Ricky Budd is Roderick Villa, a long forgotten friend she grew up with. Before she moved away, her and Ricky Budd were close friends, and had mutual romantic feelings for each other, but neither one admitted it to the other. When Ricky Budd (who's real name is Roderick Villa) was going to finally tell her, she dissapeared, moved away. Ricky Budd also come to realization that Aly Santos is Astrid Velasco, the girl who got away, the inspiration behind his hit song "All Things True." He begins to fall for her again, as does Aly for him, but she also falls for Luis Valentino. Things get stressful between everybody, and eventually, the time comes where Aly has to choose between clean cut succesful and rich good looking Luis Valentino, who will help launch her acting career all the more further, or will her rekindled feelings for rock star ex- drug addict childhood friend Ricky Budd win out in the end? (How does that sound? Idk what to title it yet, so suggestions and criticism would be greatly appreciated! ) :) more
