Open Question: Poll: Which is better: East Coast beaches or West Coast beaches?

I don't mean to ignite a "East Coast/West Coast Rivalry" like the one that plagued the Hip-Hop scene in the mid-'90s, but I just wanted to know the opinions of those who have vacationed in America's East Coast beaches and beaches on the West Coast. As many of you already know, there's a lot of hype around MTV's new Reality show "Jersey Shore". Likewise, this summer also witnessed the release of Katy Perry's new song "California Gurls". I'm beginning to sense a rivalry brewing. So how 'bout it guys and gals? "Jersey Shore" or "California Dreamin'"? more

I told him how i was going through a bad break up with at that time my ex boyfriend and he told me dump him and go out with me.and hes like im just putting it out there. He recently went to malasia for a month for vacation and some how texted me from there to see how i was doing and how my summer was going so far.. and so few days ago he texted me asking me to come to mosque cause his baby brother was reciting this speech but i said i couldnt cause i had to be somewhere so hes oh thats cool. and so again he texted me asking if i was going to a religious function on saturday night i was like probably hes like i hope to see you there. so he texted me asking how did the religious function go?

Resolved Question: Stressing about period.?

So I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and I've only had my period for about a year and last month I had it on the 6th 7th, 8th and 9th. But last month is was late so I'm guessing it's going to be unexpected for a while. Anyways I'm going to vacation with my dad, his girlfriend and my sister. I'm just worried my period will ruin the whole vacation :( I don't use tampons I tried it once and it just didn't work out. I'm close to my dads girlfriend I've known her for 10 years but I live with my mom so I wouldn't tell her stuff like that. We are going to California so we will be at the beach alot usually when I get my period it's as soon as I wake up sometimes I'll wake up but I'll still be tired so I try to fall back asleep and afterwards I'll realize I started my period and have to get up ha ha. Back to the point I don't wear tampons so the fact about swimming is stressing me out and if I wake up some point and started my period I'll have to sneak past my dad and everyone so they don't notice. I'm 13 and my sister is 15 I'm not close with her at all I never hug her or tell her I love her so she's not really there. I always go on vacation with my dad because he's the one who has alot of money not my mom but last summer I hadn't started my period yet so I was fine. So basically this is my first time going on vacation with my period and I am super nervous. I DID bring tampons and pads even though I don't wear tampons but I was thinking if worst comes to worst I'll have to do it. A couple days ago I made an excuse to my dads girlfriend and said "I don't wanna wear my bathing suit in public I look to fat I'll just wear shorts and a tank top" she responded with "It will be hard to get salt water out of regular clothes besides you aren't fat" I was like darn ha ha then I said I'll think about it. I had to come up with something so when the day comes we are going to the beach and i started my period I can say remember last week I told you I didn't wanna wear my swim suit . So i wont look suspicious. okay Im sorry this is really long but I need some help I'm to stressed and if the whole vacation Im worried I wont have any fun at all. I was thinking of wearing liners the whole vacation cuz i found 2 in a drawer but I'm not sure yet. (: Okay so has anyone been through this and what happened ? I just need help please ?I also have very light periods well so far. I could practically wear one pad for the whole day.... but i dont haha. more

Voting Question: guys what do you think?

Resolved Question: I need urgent help. I don't know what to do...?

Warning, this is going to be VERY long. Okay basically, this is the story. I met this girl in school a long time ago, around 2009 september. She was like all cool and all. I started to like her in January i don't know and i started to hang out with her every week after school. She told me she liked me a lot and all that but she didn't want to have a boyfriend when she told me she liked me( i told her i liked her.) I asked her out on valentines day 2010 and 3 days later she finally gave me an answer and said no because we were really good friends and didn't want to ruin our relationship. I think i should have stopped talking to her when she said that, but i didn't and still talked to her. Basically we hanged out a lot after and we became really close friends. She calls me her best guy friend. I use to ask her if she even did like me still to see if i should bother trying to get with her and she always would reply " If i didn't like you i wouldn't hang out with you so much." It is true we hang out a lot. School ended and we still talk a lot and stuff. And we hanged out a lot during the summer. Well on the 4th of july while in my moms care driving her home, she pop kissed me really quickly and it was kind of awkward and kept saying "sorry that was inappropriate of me." and i was like it's whatever. Then next week i kissed her back and i kissed her back. Then she went for vacation with her friend for a week and after we hanged out and all. That next week she met her x-bf again and this is where i'm getting worried, she was talking to him and one day while i was hanging out with her i saw she texted her ex a lot more than she did with me for a few days which made me jealous. She said she didn't have a thing for her ex but i don't know. One day she got mad because her ex didn't say hi to her because of some little dilemma the kids said at her camp to his brother, which made a big mess. But i was thinking maybe she likes her ex again because come on, who gets made because hdoesn'tosen't say hi to them. Next week i was invited to go ice skating with her and 2 of her friends( 1 guy and 1 girl), and she kept hanging out with the guy. She randomly would come around and poke me in the stomach and thought it was funny .-. . She even pulled me along to go skating with her when i was just sitting there but she did this to the other guy to. Most of the time she hanged out with the guy and after the guy had to go and the girl had to go, we went to her house. I told her why did she invite me to go ice skating if she kept hanging out with the guy, her response was "I was trying to get you to come with me but you didn't want to come. Also i was skating by myself and(guys name) just appeared and talked to me." This is true because the guy kept following her, it was funny. She also though i was mad at her because she pulled me and i wasn't prepared and fell down and i didn't want to give her a hug after... (THE FOLLOWING PART HAPPENED WHILE SKATING IN THE ICE SKATING PLACE) Then, i was talking to the friend and while we were just sitting watching other people skate i asked about the ex and the boy and she told me that she might like them but doesn't know for sure Now moving along to present day, today she went to california and isn't returning for 10 days. I was wondering maybe when she gets back we can hang out and i would tell her this in her native tongue which is romanian. I would say "You are my breath, my world and everything that matters" and to follow up with that i would say "(insert name here), will you be my girl friend." (all in romanian). If she says no then i'm thinking i should just officially give up on trying to be with her as it looks like it will never be. PLEASE HELP! Also some things worth knowing. We text usually everyday, sometimes i text her and she texted me first but i usually text her first. I ask her to hang out a lot and she sometimes ask me to hang out. We are really good friends. Thanks yahoo, if there are any questions you need to know please don't hesitate to ask.@ choclatEater, why does it matter? It's not like i know you so ya O_O. more

Voting Question: Do the dead communicate with the living in dreams?

My Mother and father divorced when I was 2. We lived in California with my Mom.My Dad states that he did not know where we were for 3 years. So out of the blue according to me Dad, my Mother called him up and asked if her wanted to see me for the summer, and he replied, YES. It had been 3 years ..I did not know who this man was. So On my summer vacation, I had such a VIVID dream of my mother in a white room, white canopy type bed..she was telling me how much she loved me, and I felt her love. What I did not know at that time was my Mother had thrown up in her sleep at age 25 and choked on her own vomit and died..her body had been laying in her bed for 3 days. But no one knew how to tell me. I found out as my step brothers were teasing me by saying that my Mother was dead...as an adult now, I feel that was how she said her goodbye because I NEVER got to see my mother again...didn't get to say anything. Just stuck with strangers. Than I asked God as my life had been turned upside down AGAIN..if my Mother was still with me in spirit..and a friend at the same time I was crying my self silly sent me the song Silent Lucidity. So I think that is how the dead communicate with the living? I guess God needed her more than I do. more

Resolved Question: Where should I go in California on vacation?

My friend and I are both 15. we want to go on a mother daughter trip to California and it is all I can think about. She and i want to go to the beach, preferably near a really fun port or something so we can have fun at night and day. There must be some shopping and nice places to eat. Mostly she and i just wanna ride bikes, meet people, and hang out on the beach. Something very chill but still fun for teenagers. Thanks for the help! she and i are wanna have a PERFECT end of the summer more

Voting Question: Stupid to be bothered by this? (best answer-10 points!)?

I'm asking this here because the "Singles and Dating" doesn't answer my questions, and when they do... They're rude. So my "boyfriend" and I are on a break for a month (It was a mutual decision, we both wanted space, and it's cause our vacations conflict so we don't see each other for a month). I went on his profile yesterday and I saw that he re-added/accepted an ex hook-up of his from last Summer. He told me that he deleted her because she was super creepy and weird, so it was weird to see that he re-added her (hooked up on vacation... he's almost 18 and she's 15 and he lives in California and she lives in New York)... I thought it was whatever until I saw that she wrote on his wall "I misssss youuuu!" It kind of bothered me that she wrote that on his wall, even though him and I aren't technically together.... I then saw him reply with "I miss you too :)".... Like I know he was probably just being friendly, but still idk why it bothered me. When him and I first started going out, she texted him saying "hey :)" and he said "omg this girl is SO annoying. I hooked up with her last summer and she keeps trying to talk to me" and so I took his phone and wrote "Hey this is his girlfriend. Back off. Thanks! :)" like I was obviously trying to be funny, but then she didn't talk to him again since him and I have been together. And yes, I know he doesn't like her or anything. He wants to be with me. But idk why it bothered me He promised me that we are exclusive. He told me that I'm the only one he wants to be with, but just wants space. The break was a mutual decision, but I'm the one that brought it up. Uhh we're on a "break".... Not broken up all the way.... We're getting back together in a week We made it clear that we were NOT hooking up with other people. He's the one that said that he didn't want either of us to.' I also have this weird feeling in my stomach like idk, I know the relationship will be different, but it's gonna be kind of awkward in the beginning... So how do I move away from the awkwardness? more

And whenever I go to a party, he always asks if I hooked up with a guy and I'm like "no... why?" and he would say "I'm just curious!"Whoops... Awkward haha I meant for the question to be: "Why is it bothering me so much? And the "I miss you too :)" is him just trying to be friendly, right? Because before, he told me that he didn't like the girl at all cause she was really annoying"Ya.... The girl lives in New York and he lives in California.... I doubt it haHe's been in Buffalo, NY for like 2 1/2 weeks for his Uncle's wedding.... And he sounds like he's honest with me when I ask if he's hooked up with anyone on the phone... He says "Nope, I haven't" more

Resolved Question: Why is it bothering me? (best answer-10 points!!)?

So my "boyfriend" and I are on a break for a month (It was a mutual decision, we both wanted space, and it's cause our vacations conflict so we don't see each other for a month). I went on his profile yesterday and I saw that he re-added/accepted an ex hook-up of his from last Summer. He told me that he deleted her because she was super creepy and weird, so it was weird to see that he re-added her (hooked up on vacation... he's almost 18 and she's 15 and he lives in California and she lives in New York)... I thought it was whatever until I saw that she wrote on his wall "I misssss youuuu!" It kind of bothered me that she wrote that on his wall, even though him and I aren't technically together.... I then saw him reply with "I miss you too :)".... Like I know he was probably just being friendly, but still idk why it bothered me. When him and I first started going out, she texted him saying "hey :)" and he said "omg this girl is SO annoying. I hooked up with her last summer and she keeps trying to talk to me" and so I took his phone and wrote "Hey this is his girlfriend. Back off. Thanks! :)" like I was obviously trying to be funny, but then she didn't talk to him again since him and I have been together. I was upset to the point where I was crying and so my sister said to text him (him and I aren't texting a lot so we can give each other space).... He's in DC taking a class at American University and my Grandpa's in the hospital... And my "boyfriend" hasn't really been there for me since my Grandpa has been in the hospital so this is how the convo went: Me: "Hi how's the class going" Him: "The class is going well.. it's super tiring... I'm sorry about your grandfather" Me: "why is it so tiring" Him: "Because we are out all day long" Me: "that sucks. I'm sorry" Him: "how's your grandfather?" Me: "I'm not sure. He's been in the hospital, It's been a really hard time for me" Him: "I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you" Me: "don't be sorry. I've had plenty of people who are there for me" Him:" Oh ok well I'm glad you have" Me: "Ya, well you're busy with your class anyways" And he didn't respond..... My friend said that it sounded like he wanted to talk to you because he kept the convo going by asking questions, but I was responding like I showed no interest (she told me I should cause we're on a break), and he didn't like that I was responding like that. Like he told me that he still really likes me and cares for me and he doesn't want to lose me (we're getting back together when I get back from the Bahamas August 9th), so I believe him so idk why him talking to his ex-hook up with bothering me so much...My sister/guy cousin told me to text him and sound like I don't miss himWait, they didn't even go out... It was like a vacation hook up and he told me that he doesn't have feelings for her.... He never did (or at least that's what he told me)Well we both agreed to not hook up with other people... And whenever I go to a party, he always asks if I hooked up with a guy and I'm like "no... why?" and he would say "I'm just curious!" more

Resolved Question: Why do people want to go to California?

Seriously, why? I have houses in San Diego, Malibu, and West Hollywood, and I don't see why everyone wants to live here or vacation here. So far the only plus sides I can find are *We have a beach The down sides *Tourists are crowding up our beaches *Tourists park in our driveways and in front of them so they can get to the beach *Yesterday a tourist came up to my house taking tons of pictures and asked if he could come in and take pictures (I told him no, of course!) *Celebrities don't just 'walk the streets'. I've never seen one in a restaurant or anything. *The weather isn't that great, All these places are hot and rainy *There's nothing to do here, most days I hang out with friends or am on the computer *In San Diego, we live on a PRIVATE beach, which means we own the land outside our house, but people are constantly going on our property even though we have signs up that say "Private Property:Keep out!" *In malibu, we have this house with a pool and the pool edge is a huge drop and if you look over is the beach underneath and we have a ladder where from the pool down so we can climb into the beach from there, and people will climb up and go into our back yard. OMG, so annoying. BTW, I spend Summer in my San Diego house, most of the school year in Malibu, but then we go to West Hollywood whenever me or my family members get acting jobs. I'm 14 btw. Any opinions? more

Resolved Question: Where else can I get a work permit?

Okay so I'm a minor, although pretty close to being legal. During the school year, students could get legitimate work permits so that they could work during the summer and such, however as of right now, my school is closed down because of summer vacation. I'm thinking about applying to a couple of jobs and I just want to know, in case I get hired, where else I can get a work permit. I live in Southern California. Thank you :) more

Resolved Question: my x has never paid child support. When i tried to talk to him and ask for help he threatened to sue?

My x husband and i divorced 6 years ago, we had 2 children together. He got into drugs and became violent so i had to leave. We agreed on child support for the 2 girls at 25% of his net income and he would pay for their health insurance. I have 100% physical custody. He has never once paid child support; and he backed out about half of his weekends when we lived in California. he did add the girls to his insurance last year and he paid for a season of soccer. I have since remarried (3 years ago) and had a son. We had to move out of California because of the crashing economy and increasingly high rent. My x signed a visitation modification and only wanted the girls for 4 weeks in the summer. He never calls them, didnt send them christmas presents, didnt even call my oldest daughter on her birthday. He does pay for them to fly from Texas to California every year. My husband now is an amazing man. He loves my girls like his own children. We have paid for everything. We have never had a vacation,or even a weekend together. We have never even been able to afford a family vacation. Our finances have been hard especially on my husband because he went from a single man to an instant Dad to two girls over night, and we had a son about a year later. This year i had enough. He drove out to get the girls for the summer, He drove up in a new car and apparently he got married (they walked in with huge rings) and never told the girls. He supports his wife who doesn't work and her parents are moving in with them and they are all buying a 5 bedroom house in California together. I guess im playing the "its not fair card", I just want him to help out with the kids. With his income of 55K a year according to every child support calculator i have tried it states that even with the travel expenses every year that he would owe about $800 a month. He told me that he could afford $450 and he wants extra time with the kids and i have to wave all back child support and if i dont do what he asks, he will sue me for full custody and make me pay child support. What do i do? We dont have money for a lawyer and im not willing to give him extra time when he has never paid a single child support payment. I have told him in the past he can fly out and see the girls any time he wants or he can fly them out for any school break. I want them to have a good relationship with him. I pay for their own phone so he can call them anytime he wants (he calls maybe once every 2-3 months....he hardly even returns their calls when they try and reach out to them. Why does he only now ant extra time when i ask him to help with the kids? My girls are very happy and involved with the community. They play sports, have tons of friends and are doing excellent in school. They dont even enjoy spending time with him. Its not even a safe environment. He sells drugs (i cant prove it, but he has told me many times that he grows and sells weed...actually he tried to sell me some the last time he drove out he had a softball sized amount in the back of his truck....i tried to call the cops but for some reason CHP and the local police dont talk; and i dont want my girls to be there when he gets arrested). Should i just let him pay $450 a month? I dont want him to be destitute, i dont want him to be screwed financially...but i do want help with the kids expenses.sorry long story..needed to vent after getting off the phone with my x more

Resolved Question: What do I do, I can't concentrate?

Ok. First of all, I'm learning English as a second language. So some part might not be understandable. But it's like I'm ranting anyways so. But I do need help, I'm so desperate. and Second, you'll soon notice but I'm a huge nerd. so. yup. I'm a senior in high school which is located somewhere other than US, and in my country, especially for prep school students, being a senior equals do nothing but study. I'm not bragging here or anything but my school is a prep school so everybody here is like shuper smart. And around this time, summer vacation, it ain't no vacation for us, its almost like living in hell cause we literallly spend 70% of the day studying. BUT. I can't concentrate on anything right now. I'm not distracted... or maybe I am. I'm not thinking about anything else, it's just nihility? type of thing. I'm just spacing out and it's crazy to notice how much times have passed since I started that daydreaming thing. I do have a motivation, kind of, but apparently not enough motivation, after my non-concentrating hours passes, I feel like I'm such a deadbeat. I need to go to college, because I don't want to waste another year going through this process all over again, omg I hate that. As much as I hate studying, I wanna get this shit done asap. All my friends are like fckin... cyborgs. Robots. It's making me extremely nervous to watch them how long they could stay in the same seat for like...forever. And i know some of you might say how you think I seriously need a rest and everything, but no. Things are... pretty insane in here. I've stayed in California as an exchange student just one year ago, so I know how high school works there. It's pretty laid back, compared to my country. I'm posting this in US site because all the answers I got from my country's website was to take a freaking concentration pills, but y'know. I don't need that. I tried and it's a bogus. Or it was something like go to sleep and do it tmmrw, I can't afford to that either. Time is wasting. So pleeease. Help me. And thanks for the peeps who have read this to the end.

Resolved Question: I don't know whats going on with me today.?

Well right now I'm on Summer Vacation in California. So when I woke up, I walked over to Subway to get some breakfast. I told the person behind the counter what I wanted and she asked me what kind of sandwich what I wanted and weirdly my brain just shut down and it was like she was speaking in another language. She asked me again, I was still blank until a woman next to me told me that she was asking me what I wanted on it and I finally snapped out of it. When it was time to pay(total was $8.05) when he asked me for the money. I gave him $8.05. But he repeated himself "The total is $8.05" I said "that is $8.05." The cashier said "I only see $7.05. And suddenly my brain saw that it was an extra dollar short. I don't know if I was hallucinating or what at the time. Then when I opened the door, it wouldnt budge. And I found out that I was pressing on the wrong side of the door. I dont know if the West Coast heat is getting to me, if I'm just angry about my family life or me being stuck at my cousin's house doing nothing, or maybe if I'm just simply lacking the nutrients my body needs/ more

Resolved Question: Do you think this is fair/get out of grounding?

Okay. Yes I do want all of your opinions but please don't be mean about it. But be truthful. So my parents decided to take a family vacation. To California(we live in Wisconsin) And I REALLY don't want to go. Mostly because I'm pregnant and I don't want to leave the father for a whole 2 weeks. Plus they want to go on roller coasters there. But they just told me that if I don't go I'm going to be grounded from seeing him for the rest of summer. (A month and a half) I would just tell them I pregnant but my boyfriend and I have told them that and then found out it was a false test. =p So we tried again because we really want this baby. I'm obviously not going to California. But how do I get out of this grounding/ tell my parents about the baby. I can't even go buy a pregnancy test because they won't let me leave the house! =[ Help!!!Yeah they would ground me. Because they did last time for having sex. And for "lying" about the pregnancy. Even though I took the PT and it was +. But the blood test was -. And it' not that I don't trust him. It's that we're so close and it's stressful without him. Stress+baby=not good!And his parents even offered to let me stay with them while my parents are gone. They gave us rules like we won't be alone and we sleep in different rooms. And my parents keep saying I have to go with them! more

Here is my story please tell me what could be changed to make it better and by 'choppy' what's it exactly mean? rate out of 10 stars so far too. Just what is good and what is bad? and how can I change it! THX ))))Quinn(((( Preface The rain drummed softly on the window-pane. I sat beside my bedroom window looking at the outside world, wet, cold and grey. Even though it was summer the past few weeks were soggy and boring. My parents of course, decided they're going on a vacation, and going to send me to Oklahoma to my aunt Eloise. If I go again I'll probably die pulling out the weeds in her garden. Frosty, my siberian husky pup, suddenly starts yipping. "We have to do something." I say sighing. I flip the switch for my battered radio. Get away for the summer. Take the royal express to California. All tickets 20% Off until Wednesday, June 30th. Come to the station and buy your ticket today! That's it! That's what I'll do. California here we come! ************ I open the safe in my room and dump my life savings into my bag. All ready now. "Okay, Nat, you can do this." I say to myself. I reach for the knob, ice cold under my sweating palms, turning it without a noise. I tip toe down the hall trying not to wake the beasts lying beneath it. I skipped the stairs that creak when you touch them. I get to the bottom and see Frosty waiting for me at the front door, holding and umbrella in his jaws. "Thanks." I whisper and pat him. I step out into the pouring rain. I quickly check my watch. 12:09pm. I scoop up Frosty and open the umbrella. I walk down the driveway and down the road leading downtown. I call up a cab asking fro the train station. He points at my dog,"If he barks I'll kick him out!" I nod swiftly. He starts driving. I hum to my self patting Frosty to the tune. We pull up, I hand the cab driver two twenties and get out. I walk up to the door and it opens, I go through and go to ticket seller. "One royal express ticket for california please." I ask. "That's eighty dollars ma'am." He smiles brightly as I hand him the money. He passes my a ticket and I pretend to drop it. "Whoops, clumsy me." I lie, using the excuse to put frosty safely in my bag. I walk towards security. The lady isn't looking so I get frosty under the table. She asks for my bag and she puts on the converer belt as I go through the Medal detector. She hands me my bag and I smile. She checks something do I kneel down and open my bag frosty hops inside again. Good that i'm so crafty and smart, I think to myself. I head to the railway. The royal express is one of the best trains in South Carolina. I give the (who ever the person who Collects tickets is) my ticket and board the train. I look for an empty (cabin thingy?) and sit down. Our beds were above the seats. ************ The rain is still falling as the train rumbles off into the darkness heading for our first stop Atlanta. I rest my head on the window and close my eyes Frosty wrapped in my arms. I soon drift to sleep. more

Resolved Question: I'm suffering from a deadly case of writers block. Can you save me?

Hi everyone (anyone?). Let me give some detail. I wrote a novel, like a novel-length piece of words that make up pretty (and ugly) pictures. I have not finished editing it, nor have I, obviously, turned it in for publication. In the middle of that novel (my first ever), I had a vague vague idea for another one, but like a dutiful writer, I slogged through the end of that, waiting for the glory of the new one. When suddenly, it hit. See, my idea was a vague thing, it was about magicians. Thats it. "I'll write about magicians." So I devised one plot. But I didn't like it. Then another. Then six more... but none of them have that spark that makes me WANT to write. I did develop a character... the poor man is alone in a blank world, because I can't write him a story.. its the plot I need. Finally, after stressing, and then de-stressing and rewriting plots, I decided i needed to let go until it came back to me. Luckily, I was about to go on vacation. So, here I am, on vacation in Montreal, Canada for goodness sakes (I live in California). I've seen museums, beautiful landscapes, had incredible fun, taken beautiful pictures, experienced dwarfing cities... we have a consant change of scenery, I'm not in the same place for more than 3 days. Sounds like an inspirational dream, right? Nothing. Sure, plots have drifted by, some pertaining to that magician idea, and some just off the wall... but NONE of them grab me by the eyeballs and yell "WRITE ME!!!". None. Not even close. I have, NO idea what to do. I want to write, I do. My life gets foggy and slitheringly pointless with the story to persue.... but unlike usual, there is no reward for my suffering. NOTHING helps. I am at my wits ends. I feel like I've lost the ability to write. Is one novel all I have in me? Also, if you are wondering, I'm still going to keep editing the old one, I didn't give up or anything, its just I also need a new story. And its SUMMER, the ONLY time I have to write alot, and here I am; all the time in the world, nothing in the world to write. Help? more

Is there anything wrong with socializing or not socializing; which to you think is better and why? more
