Open Question: Where should we visit?

Hi, We are a family from new York city which went on a week vacation to north carolina, nags head to be precise. As you can see, due to the coming horricane, we need to evacuate, however, we don't want to go back home, but spend the extra days to travel to places we didn't plan to from the beginning. We were wonder if the community could recommend us on places we should stop by, even spend the night on the way back from nc to ny. It no necessarily need to be on the direct path, but please don't send us to San diago, etc. Please list the city and what are the main attractions to make our life easier....we already feel pretty bad from losing our vacation for the bad weather. Thx more

Resolved Question: How do you let go of a "best friend" with the least amount of drama involved?

This girl has WAS my best friend throughout elementary and middle school, we went to different high schools but still maintained our friendship. I started feeling distant from her during 12th grade cuz we were VERY different by then and didnt agree on much, plus she was becoming quite a hypocrite. We went to colleges in different states and had very different experiences throughout those 4 years. She really couldn't relate to me on anything cuz our college lives had nothing in common. We spoke less and less every semester. We only saw each other once or twice during xmas breaks. Even though we were both home during summer vacations, we barely hung out since we were doing different things and I just wasn't enjoying her company anymore. After graduating college we ended up working together for the summer and I realized how much we had really drifted apart, she was still into trying to be cool with hometown losers and messing with ignorant ppl while I just wanted more out of life. I have always been the one that wanted to get the hell out of my town and meet new ppl and try new things (I even studied abroad for a year in college), but shes the opposite. I ended up working abroad this past year and she never emailed or called me the whole year. I emailed her twice and she would respond, but if i hadn't, I know she would not even know anything about my life over there. I saw her once when i surprised my fam by coming home for xmas, but havent spoken or seen her since. I got back about 2 months ago and I texted her about being home, even though she never asked. She contacted me 4 weeks ago to invite me somewhere but I had plans and we haven't contacted each other since. Truth is, I dont care that we dont talk or see each other cuz I dont consider her a good friend anymore, and haven't for a long time. But i know she prob still tells ppl I'm her best friend. I honestly wouldnt be sad if we lost contact completely, but I still get these bad feelings like i need to talk to her a few times a year to be on "good terms". Anytime i hung out with her over the past 3 years, it was just to fill a quota or something. I guess i'm scared of ending the friendship cuz i dont want her going around talking crap about me or telling my secrets, or ppl to start telling her bad things about me that I never told her. I'm sick of being fake and hang out with her when i really don't want to, i've been happy this summer not seeing her at all. I dont think she'll contact me anytime soon, but what if she does? should I contact her to hang out once and keep the cycle going? she hasn't DONE anything bad to me, so I dont want things to end sour, what should happen next?I should add that even though she doesn't put much effort in contacting me, she makes a point to tell me its MY fault if we haven't hung out. That's the general consensus within our mutual friends as well, she has everyone thinking that everything's always my fault. more

Resolved Question: Is it ok to bring back the past to clear my thoughts?

My bf and I had experienced a make or break situation. We are on a long distance relationship bec. of his job. When he came back home, I caught him that he had an affair with one of his co-workers. He told he that he'll broke with her once the girl reaches home. He told me, he's just afraid that the girl will do something to hurt herself. I never got any clear answers on what went wrong, on what really happened. All he gave me is "I DON'T KNOW". Since I love him so much, I forgave him and we were back to normal (as if nothing happened). However, he's away again now and sometimes I'm having nightmares about that third party. I never brought up again that issue bec I was afraid that he'll take it in a different way. We already have plans in getting married on his next vacation. Would it be ok to ask him about what really happened?why he cheated me? what did i do wrong?Or do I just pretend that nothing bad happened? A little advice please... Thank you. more

Open Question: Who To Pay Back First!?

I owe three main people money, and I figured asking a stranger's opinion will give me some non-jaded advice on which to pay first or in what order to pay them. 1) GF/Possible soon-to-be Ex: She supported me during a period where I was working in a job where the pay was not steady/reliable. She put out around $1200 to cover my excess bills during this time period. After my checks became more stable we found ourselves living together unofficially. During this phase I often chipped in whenever she needed and also paid for groceries for 2 months (estimated spent $500) for the condo. However, despite her keeping track of the groceries she bought for me, she does not take off the ones I bought for her. In addition, she was planning a vacation back home and had hired a dog sitter for $900 for the week. I offered to dog sit for her to save her some money, thinking she would take some of it off what I owed her, but no. So, what would you pay her? 2) Ex-wife's boyfriend (haha yes Springer-esque) My ex-wife's boyfriend gave my ex and I $900 for a car back in December, and wasn't really concerned about the timeliness of it being paid back since he is well-off. However, he has started to establish a need for the funds, and has asked about it to her once or twice. I dispute neither the amount nor the fact that it is owed. 3) Former Business Partner A friend, who now is barely on speaking terms with, and I went into a business venture together in which he invested around $7000 of his own money. He took out loans for the amount, understanding that there was some risk involved, but that there was also a huge potential payoff. At the time, I agreed that if it did not workout that I would help to pay back the loans he took. However, the business venture did not pan out, and for the most part (I hate to say this) it was due to him not pulling his weight in the venture. Since the venture everything between us has been about money. He wants me to pay $3500 back to him (split over monthly payments). I honestly am bitter about the situation, but in hindsight I think that is typical when friends fail in business together. Would you pay back the full $3500 even though he took out the loans in his own name? And if so, would you pay him before/after the others? The bottom line is that right now I can only really afford to pay one person, and the others will have to wait or not be paid. I need your help Yahoo Answers. more

Open Question: Vow renewal/belated honeymoon situation...(long but pls read)?

My husband and I will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary in a few months. When we were married we went to the JOP, we pretty much eloped (no guests) and we didn't have a honeymoon. I'm planning our vow renewal on our anniversary and we will take our honeymoon after. We are going to do it at a destination wedding/honeymoon location which is about 5 or 6 hours from where our family members live. When we were married we had a couple of family members who were a little disappointed that they weren't asked to be there. We also have a toddler and I have a child from a previous marriage that we would ideally like to include but there are a couple of issues. We don't have much family, just siblings and maybe two or three other extended family members that we are close to who might like to be there. In a perfect world, we would invite these 5 or 6 people and their families and let whoever can/wants to come, come. And we would have our kids there to be in the ceremony and then someone would take them home with them so we can have our honeymoon. However, there is not really anyone of this group who I would ask or trust to be responsible for my kids out of town and then drive them back home. Secondly, I'm not sure some of these people can or will take off work, make the drive and spend a couple of nights on their own dime. So my questions: Do we just have our ceremony alone and not include the children? Will we regret this later? Do we go to the expense of paying for accommodations for these people to ensure that they come and figure out someone to take care of the kids/take them home? Some of these ppl can be flaky, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't show even if we paid for them a place to stay. Is this ridiculous for us to have to do? Or is it worth it to have our kids there? We are sorta private people, I would be fine if it was just us at the ceremony other than fearing that I would regret our kids not being there. Having a ceremony closer to home and then going on the honeymoon isn't an option, we have known for years specifically what we want. And keeping our kids with us on the honeymoon is def not an option either. This is a honeymoon, not a family vacation! If it makes any difference, we will be having a short ceremony either in a quaint chapel or outside with an ordained minister, we will dress formally and have a professional photographer, small cake & flowers, etc. and possibly exchange new rings. In other words, it will be kept short and sweet but we will have some of the traditional elements. Thanks for reading and for any thoughts or suggestions I may not have thought of.Ok let me CLARIFY since everyone is obviously misunderstanding me or is not reading the whole thing or both: I said there was no one I trust to be responsible for my kids OUT OF TOWN and DRIVE THEM BACK HOME. I normally leave my kids with an older relative who yes, will keep them if we go alone but she doesn't drive long distances by herself so the only way she could come is if she travelled with someone else. I really wouldn't want to ask her to have my kids in a strange place or spend 12+ hours in a car with them as she is again, an older lady and gets nervous easily. There is no one else. As I said we don't have much family. There are no grandparents. I never said WE regretted anything, I said a couple of family members were disappointed that they weren't there. And lastly, obviously I recognize if my toddler is there she might not sit like a statue. That's not a problem but thanks for asking. more

Open Question: I just inserted a new nuvaring after putting it in late, could I be pregnant?

I was on vacation and I realized I forgot my nuvaring at home - so I got my period last week while down in south carolina. I got back late saturday night and I put my new nuvaring in sunday at around 1:00pm. I told my boyfriend we would have to use another method of birth control, so he bought condoms. then I was at his house yesterday and long story short, he managed to get about 5 - 10 minutes of action, without a condom on. (yeah, I was pissed, I thought he'd put one on and he thought I knew he didn't have one on). So, I was supposed to put my nuvaring in on the 24th, and I couldn't actually put it in until the 29th. and i'd already had it in for 4 weeks because I was planning on skipping my period so I didn't get it while on vacation (ha!). since I only had my nuvaring in for about a day when we had sex, do you think i could be pregnant? even though he was only in for about 5 minutes, and usually women don't ovulate until 2 weeks before their periods and my period isn't due for the very end of September now. I'd just like it if someone would take a little time and try to explain how i could/couldn't be pregnant because of the various hormones the ring produces/the time frame in which it was inserted, etc. I'd really appreciate it. more

Open Question: He won't talk to me, now what?

I was dating this guy for close to two months. We had a connection, I thought. Well, while dating, I told him that my ex- husband, who said he filed for divorce and that it was final … after I filled out paperwork…, now tells me that we are still married and had hopes I would change my mind in the future. So, that he never submitted paperwork that we signed. I am horrified and I explained the situation to the guy. He was shocked… he looked very upset. Then came the issue of what he was feeling. He said we were fine. I went away to London, for one week, for a planned vacation I made 6 months ago. I come back to him telling me on the phone that we should be friends. That yes, the divorce was a small issue for him but we need to focus on being friends because it’s bad timing for him right now. He stated that between him selling his condominium and moving to a rental… until he find a home to buy has been extremely frustrating and overwhelming for him. I tried and tried to convince him all this weekend through text... to please reconsider and we should meet to talk about things. And if after meeting he still feels this way that I have no choice but to respect it. Well, he kept blowing me off that he’ll call me and we’ll see. Until finally, he said yesterday he’s not interested in meeting and I need to respect his decision. Well, I am completely hurt! I went back on to the online dating to find that after weeks he wasn’t on… he recently went on! That was another stab to my heart. How should I approach this?? more

Open Question: Am I being fair to ask my husband to allow me to control his money?

My husband has a lot of trouble handling his bills. Even before we got married, he was evicted from a $1000 a month apartment even though he brought in about 80 thou a year and did not have any other bills other than a $300 a month car note (he moved in with me, but didnt tell me he was evicted). Over the years he has gotten behind in bills and I have "loaned" him money to pay things. We both handle our own money and have individual things to pay. No joint account due to him taking both of our shares of money out of it without asking. We are pretty much even in how much we earn and our bills, but he is also paying off four credit cards bills which I had years ago suggested he get rid of, because he keeps running them up. The problem is my husband is short at the end of the month and I have to take from my savings to make up for it,. He is short, because of his credit cards, he is a smoker and he doesn't manage his money well and always has to pay everything from the next check. This has been going on for years and I have always threatened to have all his pay come to me. He doesn't want this, because he knows I am not going to give him money for his cigarettes or anything I think is frivilous. It has nothing to do with that. I would give him his extra money after his bills are paid, but he does not have enough monthly salary to pay them. He is playing catch up and at the end of the month I am the one who has to pay for his shortfall. $5 for cigarrettes is $5 I would eventually have to kick in. So, the last few months have been the last straw. The most recent finacial issues came up when we were about to leave for vacation. I paid a $1000 dollar for a 3 month overdue bill when he got our phones, cable and internet turned off. I need internet, I work from home. I paid it, then he paid me back and had no money for our trip. I bought everything while on vacation with our two kids, daycare provider and my 13 year old neice until he was paid six days later. I wouldn't have even planned the trip if I knew things were going so bad for him. (My neice had more money than he did, but he did have a suitcase full of smokes.) It was also my second mother's day and the second mother's day I get nothing. Since then it is ongoing. No money for pampers, groceries, getting things fixed around the house. Money for smokes though. His car is broke, so he took 1/2 of his share of the mortgage money ($800) to get it fixed. Didn't get it fixed and cannot account for the money other than he bought things for a party that we were having. I had to loan him his share of the mortgage for that month. Sunday, he did not have grocery money. He said if I loaned it to him, he would buy groceries the next two times. Ok, that is what we did last month. I keep telling him that just makes things worse. He has to make cutbacks. His idea of cutbacks is on our grocery budget. Its roughly $150 weekly for five people. He says its unnecessary and I have an expensive tastes in food. He can survive on a pack of hotdogs. Anyway, I told him to turn all of his money over to me and let me pay handle it. I have threatned it before, but never did it, because I don't really want too. Now, I have no choice or keep getting hit with bills and having to loan him money taking money from a savings account that is for emergencies and the kids college fund. I told him if he doesnt allow me to do it, not to come to me for loans or anything else. This includes using my car to get back and forth to work. He has so far said no to this. I personally think it is fair. I know I am putting him between a rock and a hard place, but I don't think its fair for me to have to pay his shortfalls simply because I budget better than he does. He doesn't want me too, because he knows I'm not giving him money for cigarettes. I understand its an addiction, but come on you have responsibilities that comes first. The holidays are coming up and our kids birthdays. I see it now, me having to pay for everything and no Christmas gift for me again. I don't want his money. I just want him to pay his bills and build himself some savings. I just don't want him living paycheck to paycheck. We should be able to live off our salaries. more

Resolved Question: Is this considered sexual abuse or a sexual violation?

I don't know what to do because I won't tell anyone how I feel about what happened, most people don't know this happened, but I want to know if my feelings are justified. I was at a teen club with 5 friends. I had went to a really fun one before with my best friend and it was so goofy! We were on vacation though so that club isn't near where we live. My one friend, who was SO wrong, said this club was like that. We all went to the club, completely sober by the way, and hated it. It was way too dark and the guys were creeps. I hate grinding, at this point I had only done it once before and a guy asked me to grind. I mean, what else is there to do at a club if you don't plan on hooking up, so I just decided to do it. The guy pulled me way too close and then he started to try to pull up my dress. I kept trying to move his hands down and he kept trying to stick his hands up my dress and pulled me tight so I couldn't do anything about it. He then spun me around to face him, told me I had a beautiful face, and put his hands on my butt while continuing to try to put his hands up my dress. I didn't like this and I said "I have to go." He then wouldn't let me go because he had his hands on my hips and was saying things like "Oh no don't go!" to me. I finally got him to let go and I asked my other friend who was grinding to go to the bathroom with me. The guy then grabbed my wrists with a firm grasp and said "No you're first time is the best!" I got scared and had to really pull my arms away with a force. I just ran to the bathroom. I cooled off for a few minutes and went back out to my friends. We explained what happened and they asked if I was okay or if I wanted to go home and I said I was fine. I was upset but fine. I laughed and danced the rest of the night and made jokes about everything that happened and pretended like I wasn't hurt at all. I was a little upset that whole time, but I thought about it more later and that's when I really started hurting. My friends don't know I'm so upset. Nothing technically happened, but I still feel so violated and hurt and a little scared. I feel like if it took that much effort to get away from this guy (a teen at a club who was an inch shorter than me. I'm 5'6, he was probably 5'5. So a shorter guy in a crowded club.) what if something happened to me in a less crowded place with a guy that's bigger than me? Would I be able to get away? I don't know. Am I overreacting, or is this a sexual violation? I know it really wasn't that bad but I feel like it was at least a minor sexual violation. I don't know I'm so confused. I wouldn't like go anywhere else with this information it's just for my own understanding. Is my hurt and feeling of violation justified? And is this really a sexual violation? Am I just being stupid? Cause I really feel stupid. Thanks so much for any answers.I don't usually hang out at clubs. I'm not a party person either, I just went to be goofy and have fun with my friends. I'm never going to go again. My friends were all around me and couldn't really get me out of the situation. All in all the situation lasted under 3 minutes. Thanks guys.Also, I would never consider charges or consider myself someone who had something horrible happen to them just because of this. I know it's nothing big, maybe I'm just shaken, but I guess I'm wondering if I have a reason to be. Thanks again.****ALSO**** I have a therapist because I went through a tough time with my family this year (bipolar dad who screwed us over and left us twice) and I feel awkward telling him this. It only happened Sunday night so maybe it will pass, but should I tell him? I feel awkward telling anyone.. opinions? Thank you all so much. more

Resolved Question: Would or did you have family come stay right after the baby was born?

I'm due with my first in Oct. My mom ( who lives about 3 hours away) is planning on coming down and staying with us for two weeks right after we get out of the hospital. My boyfriend is also taking two weeks paternity leave from work. We have a large enough house and she will have her own room and bathroom. My boyfriend and my mom get along great. I haven't spent more than 4-5 days in a row with her since I left for college. I didn't always come home for vacations. While I was a teenager we got along better than most and I really love her. I'm just not sure if it will be too much added stress having her there or if the extra set of hands ( she fully plans on doing all the cleaning and laundry) will be a huge relief. Since I really haven't spent that much time with her in 6 years I'm a little nervous of the tension of having someone in your house, around you all the time and and a newborn baby- it will just be too much. I don't know. What were your expirences?I am really close with my mom ( ecspecially from a distance) and knowing her she will take off and do her own thing for her own sanity. Due to some medical issues I'm going to try and deliver vaginally but I know I'm high risk for a c-sec. My boyfriend has been wonderful picking up the slack. I've had a rough pregnacy and quit my job. He comes home from working all day, makes dinner for both of us. He does all the shopping and quite a few of the household chores and has never complained. I wouldn't mind the break for him as well more

Resolved Question: Why do I feel like a different person after coming back from vacation?

This year has been a bit different and challenging - you can call it my "eat, pray, love" year. I took a break away fr. my major (competitive to get into), got a new job (completely different than what i'm normally used to), and I went through a breakup. It wasn't just any breakup though. I'll be in my mid 20's and for most my life, i've always been single. Just didn't feel as if I "needed" a bf and I'm also intuitive when it comes to if I'll be able to sincerely care for someone or not; i'm also cautious about committment (not about being faithful but I love being independent). My ex pursused me for a long time, despite me having no desire for committment. He proved to be a good, genuine person and I felt that he was right and saw potential in him as a person, a partner, and possibly a long lasting relationship. He and his family/friends say i was "everything he wanted in a girl" and was completley different than his younger, immature, and dramatic exes. Things were going well - i never held him back but was never a doormat either. Then one day, he decided he "didn't want a girlfriend right now" because he felt like being "selfish". There was no 3rd party. It was a big let down...completely. immature and just felt as if it were a waste of time. He texted me the next day reitirating his apology but i never looked back - never talked or seen him. It's been about 4 months and i'm doing better. There were times when it hurt and I would get a bit biter/angry, and emotional. We didn't date for a long time but it just affected my self esteem and attitude. Within the past 3 months, I worked hard at the new job, met people, kept busy and worked 5-6 days/week, got into scrapbooking more, spent more time w. friends, went out at night more, worked out (LOST 13lbs! :), and even went to dinner w. a gentleman i met at a wedding. My family had been planning a vacation to hawaii for months now and i'm thrilled bc i get to spend time w. family whom i haven't seen in years (and have yet to meet). The last time i went was when i was 16 and this may be icing to my "eat pray love" year in finding myself. Before leaving, I couldn't help but have this strong feeling that when i get back, everything for me will just change...it wasn't a bad or good feeling...just a strong intuition that things won't be the same when i get back from vacation. - I'll be a completely different person. I was comfortable where my life was at and didn't want furthur changes. I also had this bitersweet feeling that my memory of my ex will be erased...almost like a distant memory...which is what i've always wanted and prayed for but it makes me sad. We have a few days on the trip and i'm getting that feeling again...surprisingly things have changed - i noticed i've changed (family members have noticed), i found out i got into nursing school this coming fall (which is HUGE). I still had that feeling that things would be completely different when I got back. Also, halfway through the trip, i was becoming "tired" from the vacation. I'm back home now and it feels weird. I definitely miss my family but being at the house feels different, the weather's cooler (not like hawaii; if anything it feels like summer's over now) and it feels as if I've been gone for SOO LONG, i'm different/changed but it also feels like I just boarded on the plane yesterday - the whole vacation was a dream. I changed when I was in that relationship; i changed after the relationship ended; i changed when i was healing from all that hurt and now i'm a completely different person after this vacation. Thing is, this isn't my first time traveling (did last summer as well) yet this year, i'm soo affected - why am i feeling this way? Why do I feel this way? more

(sorry this is really long) my older brother is in charge until my parents get back for a vacation for their anniversary. he is 17 im 12 and a male. my parents gave him permission to discipline me anyway he wants. the other day while i was at a friends house it was around 7pm and he told me he wanted me to come home before it was dark. my curfew is normally 10:30 so i just said ok and hung up. when it started to get dark i just stayed because it was still earlyish. so then about 20minutes after it being dark he called my cell he called me about 4 times because i knew he would just make me come home. finally i answered and he asked me where the h*** are you. i told him that my curfew is 10:30 but he just started yelling at me saying "i told you that i wanted you to be home before it gets dark" he then said he was gonna come pick me up because he didn't want me to walk home when it was dark out. when he got there he looked so angry and he had his girlfriend with him because it was her birthday and he was planning on taking her out tonight. he said he was gonna have me be at home while he adn his gf were out somewhere which was ok with my parents. so anyways he said " get ur a** in the car " very angrily. when we got home he told me to go to my room and i wait for him. when he got up there he had a belt in his hands and he told me to lean over the bed. i begged him not to spank me but he still made me do it. he hit me so many times i lost count and i was crying so loud and i was afraid his gf would hear me!when he was done he made me take a shower then before a put my pants on he gave my stuff to rub on my butt to help with the pain or something. so i put it on while he watched. after that i got ready for bed and before he left my room he told me he was sorry and that he hit me too many times and he even gave me a bruise! he then ruffled my hair and said goodnight. so my question is should was he right for spanking mw for just not coming HOME or answering my phone? and was it wrong of him to hit me so much? i know i was being a brat and ruined his date with his gf and all. (btw he told my parents about what happened and they agreed with my bro) more

Resolved Question: Dog-Friendly vacations? how do you find places to go/stay?

Short of owning a vacation home, which most people can't afford. How do you find suitable vacation spot where you can bring your dog(s)? Hubby & I cannot afford an RV right now either - although that is something we are thinking about for the future. I have a vacation planned where I am unable to bring my dog and we have arranged for boarding at the place he attends for daycare. I know he will have things to do & be well cared for, but I feel bad going away for an entire week without him. But in the future, if I go away for longer than a long weekend, I would like to find vacation spots where I can bring my dog with me. Where do you go? What do you do? How do you find these places? If you need to know, I am in South-Central Pennsylvania.fleafree, yes Ireland is a bit far - but it would be somewhere I would love to see! But a trip like that would be without my husband (he won't get a passport) so he could stay home with my dog! more

Voting Question: Traveling to Mazatlan with a 7 month old & 4 year old. What do I take, what can I get there?

My parents have just booked an all inclusive trip to Mexico as a family vacation in November. My parents go quite regularly – so this is apparently a 4 ½ - 5 star resort. There will be them, my brother, sister in law, 5 y.o. niece, myself, my husband, our 4 y.o., and our baby - who will be 7 1/2 months at that time. I know what I’m going to need - but I'm wondering what I should take and what I can get while I'm there. I'm already planning to take a car seat, 2 cans of powdered baby formula (because I know they don't sell her brand outside of Canada), and enough jarred baby food for the airplane and the next morning. From what I understand there is a WalMart in Mazatlan and we plan on going there as soon after we get there as possible (probably the next morning). Should I bring enough jarred baby food for the entire trip? Or just enough to get there and get to a store? What brands are available? Should I bring 2 packages of diapers? Or do they sell Pampers at the WalMart there? We’re planning to buy an inexpensive umbrella stroller there and just give it away before we leave if we can’t take it on the plane on the way home. I’d really like to take our playpen – but our travel agent has ordered a crib for our room already. Sorry if I sound completely ignorant – but I’ve never been to Mexico before let alone with an infant. I can’t find it spelled out anywhere either. Is there anything specific I should be sure to take for my 4 y.o. as well? more

Resolved Question: US Immigration - I need clarification on residency requirement?

I am a green card holder of which I gained through marriage. Thus I have 3 years to apply for citizenship. I have already satisfied my 18 months physical presence requirement. I now have 17 more months before I am eligible to become a US citizen. Right now I have a pretty lucrative opportunity to transfer overseas with my company. But I don't want to jeopardize my chances of applying for citizenship. I don't want to delay the citizenship process. I am 341 days from qualifying to apply for a N-470 since I have just returned from vacations. If I take the job and make it a point to travel back to the USA every 3 months and stay (let say for one week at a time) to visit my family, will I jeoparidize my residency requirement for naturalization? I will not move my family nor will I sell my home or move my bank accounts. During my kids school vacations, I would plan to send them to where I am to visit. I would like to hear from any of you experts out there. Thanks for your advice in advance. p more

Voting Question: Do you think I have a case at my appeal for unemployment?

I had my son in April, I planned my pregnancy around my job. We work out of town for 12 weeks, so i planned to have him just in time to take my 12 week off while my team was out of town and i would pick right back up in my hometown. My DR put me on bedrest 3 weeks early, and then my son was born 2 weeks early. which threw off my whole scheduled plan. So i was just going to have to make the 2 hour drive daily there and 2 hour home. Plan was myhusband was going to be able to take him to and pick him up from daycare, seeing as how the daycares around here do not open for drop off at 530 am, or pick up at 730. HOWEVER my husband is in the army, and had to go to AT (annual training) at a different time than was previously scheduled, it was a last minute change, SO when it was time for me to go back to work there was no way that i could make it work for that first week. (husband was gone for two weeks, his second week gone was supposed to be my first week back.) That first monday he was gone I called my manager, and he was on vacation for the whole week. (I couldnt take my son with me because we stay in company supplied apartments, and no family or pets are allowed to stay in there with you. AND i was breastfeeding so I could not be away from him overnight for 4 nights in a row. yes i did pump for during the day but i cannot pump enough at one time to last him for 4 days.) So, the monday that i was supposed to be back at work, was my managers first day back from vacation. i told him my issue, to see if i could take this 1st week as unpaid extended FMLA or whatever it would be called, and he said let me call and find out. 1 minute later, the HR lady who i had been dealing with my whole pregnancy calls me, and says "since you did not report to work today we are going to have to seperate employment as of today". no questions no nothing. i said wait a minute, what?? and she said "you will get a letter confirming this in the mail, and will be considered for employment in the future if you reapply along with any other applicants." end of phone call. So i tried to file for unemployment, my company denied it saying that i voluntarily quit. I have been searching for a job, and had many interviews. but have had no luck. please help. do you think i have a case next week in my appeal hearing? any tips? more

Resolved Question: workers' comp? disability? what?

I work as a nurse's aide in private pay and government subsidized home care for the disabled. Last week while at work, I had a seizure (never had that before!) and fell on a concrete floor. Luckily, i knew that something was wrong a few minutes before it happened and called my boyfriend to help me get the the hospital. I was planning on calling the main office and requesting a replacement to relieve me, but i started seizing already. Short story- I woke up 4 days later in the Cleveland Clinic Neurology ICU with a severe skull fracture and multiple brain and spinal cord injuries and don't remember any of it. The doctor in the ICU approved me to return to work next week with restrictions (no driving for 6 mos. ect...) But, my company is hesitant about letting me work right now. They want me to take it easy and treat the 6 mos. as a vacation! I can't go that long without pay! I'm only 23 and 1/2 through school! I have rent and bills to pay! What are my options here? Is workers' comp an option? What about disability? Would i even qualify for that? I'm not fired from my job but they don't feel comfortable with me right now (which is understandable). I am just so lost right now... more

Resolved Question: What to do about friend not contributing?

Well, my so called "best friend" is REALLY getting on my nerves. She's not contributing to our friendship at all whatsoever. I asked her before I went on vacation two weeks ago if she wanted to hang out. We were all set and our plans were fair game until she got a better offer from a different friend. The other friend *is* moving for three months but they had two weeks to hang out before she left and I hadn't seen my "best friend" in over two weeks. I was really looking forward to spending time together, but she just ditched me for this other girl. The next day I went on a week vacation. I called her daily, texted her, but I never got a reply. That hurt. The time change was pretty hard on me so I wasn't really functioning right until a few days after I came home. When I was finally ready to hang out again, my cousins fiance was killed in a car accident so the next few days was stressful and was filled with repeated visits to the funeral home, fights with his fiances family (her dad was abusive and her mom a drug addict, things were definitely rocky), etc. I was very upset about the situation, so in attempt to confide in my friend, I called her and explained the situation. All I hear on the other end was her loudly chewing gum and then a loud, "Well that sucks". Uhh, what kind of response is that? She didn't have to get involved but a little sympathy would've been nice. She just told me that she'd have to look at her schedule to see if we could hang out. WTF?! And then, she said she was taking her "boyfriend" thing up north with her this weekend. I mean, I'm constantly trying to get a time to hang out with her, but she's "busy" doing nothing or hanging out with someone else. She constantly brags about her more than "comfortable" lifestyle with her cottage, boat, laptop, nice cell phone, giant flat screen, etc. She knows my mom is blowing through her retirement fund and working a crap job just to keep food on the table and STILL thinks that this bragging is appropriate. She's dramatic about EVERYTHING, convinces herself if she has a cold she's gonna die, went to the ER after stepping on a tooth pick, had an MRI done after falling to reveal that her theory of a broken tailbone was all in her head... It's tough to deal with. What should I do? I'm planning on finding some new friends because trying to work things out with this girl is proving to not be working. But should I still try and talk to her? more

my ex bf broke up with me almost 2 months ago. he was planning on moving from NH to mass because he worked at his families restaurant and didnt want to commute the 20 minutes...from NH so he broke it off with me even though he wasnt moving for over a month and started looking for girls in mass on a dating website. i hadnt talked to him in a bit so i re-added him on facebook. he told me he was recently arrested for possession of percocets and marijuana in his vehicle. he is now down in south carolina in his parents vacation home "getting clean" as he likes to refer to it. aka he is in his beautiful summer home lounging in bed while his mom cooks and cleans for him and he plays on his macbook. he is very rich btw. last night i told him online that i still loved him and he said that the only reason he broke up w/ me was to distance himself from me so he wouldnt hurt me since hes addicted to drugs...he said he still cared about me so much and hoped to work things out when he gets back and that right now he CANT focus on love or dating because him getting better comes 1st. so i go to the dating website that hes on and type in his username and go figure it says "online today" i wrote to him and confronted him and he said that im crazy and he said he only checked it because hes sick in bed detoxing and he wanted to read emails...........he then told me to "go f*u*c*K* myself" and deleted me and my sister off of facebook immediatly...... more

Voting Question: i love my ex bf w/ all of my heart. he is currently trying to get clean from a pill addiction.should i give up?

he broke up with me over a month ago. he planned on moving to boston to get an apt and running his familys business and he was even looking for girls to date in the area where he was moving. we had a really strong chemistry initially you know the kind (intense attraction, butterflies, overwhelming excitement) puppy love so to speak he ended up getting heavy into drugs a little before he met me and it didnt get bad until the end when he broke it off. (snorting percocets, smoking weed both daily) he got pulled over and arrested just they other day. i hadnt spoken to him in over a month and just recently added him on facebook and he told me he'd just been arrested and that he was headed 18 hrs away down to his family's vacant vacation home in south carolina to "clean himself up". he said he blamed me a lot for the fighting between us but came clean that it was mostly on him...and that he had to "distance" himself from me because he knew hed hurt me. he also said he has a lot he'd like to tell me in person when he gets back and that his phone is turned off...but that he will call when he gets a new one. i offered to send him letters to his home in SC but he said he will keep in touch through facebook. he is online all the time! and he never messages me...like hes legit on there for hours on end. as a matter of fact we are both on the facebook chat now and he hasnt said anything ive left mine on for an hour and walked away to see if hed msg. also i called his phone and it said the voicemail box was full it didnt say that the phone was shut down by ATT. i messaged him and he said he still cares about me a lot but that he has to clean himself up and "maybe" things can work when he gets back.. he asked if id still be here to talk to if he needs support...but he nevers messages me anyway!! he didnt dump me to get clean he dumped me to move on to boston which is an hour away and was signed up on a dating website looking for women in that area...only now that he gets arrested and loses his job does he say he broke up with me to avoid hurting me.......he wont even say he loves me he just says "i care about you so much" more

Voting Question: Does Joe the Conservative need Liberals around?

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a conributor. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noon time and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university. Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like. I have." more

Voting Question: Met a girl on vacation at 13?

i was on vacation and i met this girl through hanging out at an activity center where they had alotta games and stuff. my first day there (before i had met her) was extremely boring. the next morning, started one of the best days ive had for a few years. the next day she and here family were gone as they were at the beach, i was in a really bad mood and didnt have much of an appatite. the next day she was there and we both tried to skip meals to hang out and didnt wanna really seperate. she told me something she has never trusted with ANYONE, not even her family or bestfriends. then that night we hung out at the pool and when she had to go at 10:30 at night, i tried saying bye with a simple hi 5 (im not good with goodbyes) and she gave me a hug and an email adress. the next day i had to leave the hotel early in the morning to get to school for the first day ( the hotel was only an hour and a half away from home) and those few days were all i thought about most of the day. ever since the night of the day i first met her, ive been having dreams again (mainly about her) and that was 6 days sago. the problem is that now no girl in my school seems good enough too me. yeah, meeting her helped me regain my confidence but she had all the qualities i liked in a girl. she was exactly a year younger than me and im 13. were both in the 8th grade. she lives 2 states away from me so it would be hard to visit her. she laughed at my jokes no one got and she basically was like me in a female body with the exception of being much smarter. do you think i should try to hold out for 5 years for a girl freind until i go to college ( the college i plan on going to is near where she lives) or do you think i should just move on. ive already gotten many emails from her basically, do you think i shouli forgot to mention the fact that im a guy but i hope youve all assumed thatalso literally 15 minutes after i sent her an email the day after I left the hotel, she sent me one and then i had gotten 5 emails from her in just that one day. i got 4 yesterday.saying bye too her was one of the hardest things ive ever done, tied with accepting the fact my house burned down in a fire 2 years ago more

Resolved Question: What should I do about underwater home - mortgages?

I live in SW Florida where I owe $335,000 for a house surrounded by homes forecloure specialists are enjoying profits from selling at $125,000 (in much better condition than mine), and at least another thousand brand new unoccupied homes nearby. Flood insurance just became mandatory and rates went up. I bought in '06, it was the best I could get then, but in very poor shape compared to the quality of currently available homes. It would take another $20,000 just to make it marketable to sell for $125,000. In '06 I had to have two loans on teacher pay, did not have enough reserves for a down payment, assumed value would continue escalating and would refinance/consolidate both loans, with increased equity in a few years, and live here another ten years, retire and go home and live in Texas in a modest, low cost home, for the rest of my life. Disaster struck. I modified loan 1 (SAXON) under HAMP - that one payment is 31% of my gross income - one of my 2 "take home" paychecks a month. I modified Loan 2 ($65,000 balance) directly with OCWEN, who only gave me a reduced rate (14% TO 2%) for 5 years. My entire 2nd paycheck is that payment, utilities, food, clothes, car, gas, credit cards, student loans, and other living expenses. I live hand to mouth and see now that I will never be able to retire/sell this house/move home, etc. I didn't want to get rich, but I didn't expect to pay every dime I make for the rest of my life for basic living because of what I perceive as a national financial disaster - obviously not just a "natural real estate cycle" - evolving from poor economic planning and oversight on the part of the politicians who have been paid by my taxes from my hard work for the last 35 years to assure my (at least basic) quality of life - for life. Ethics? It is hard to specify ethical boundaries under such extreme, outlying conditions. I do know one thing about this crisis: Ethcial boundaries were crossed at every stage, by many people, over many years. The argument for the end consumer to suffer - in such an exaggerated way - in order to affirm their ethics - seems profoundly hypocritical. On the other hand, I am still here, paying my mortgage, even though every other homeowner who purchased a home in this HOA between '05 and '08 has walked away, so I AM demonstrating ethics. My question is, "What would you do?" I wish I could put up a poll and ask every expert what they would do. Walk away entirely? What then... ? Rent for life...? Stop paying 2nd lien? What then...? Credit ruined...for how long...? What else....? Swallow and pay every dime they earn to live a restricted (since '06: never go out, no travel, no vacations, no gift giving at holidays, drive old cars, buy used clothes, etc.) life for the next ten or fifteen years, fearing job loss or pay cut daily, only to find out at retirement that I have to walk away from it then, can't sell it, perhaps have to file bankruptcy, then, and live in government housing for my retirement...? That seems awfully bleak. I make too much, they say, to file bankruptcy. hmmm...what would you do? Thanks for any wisdom you could share. Synthia more

Voting Question: I can't move on from a failed love of 4 years. Will I grow old and die alone? I am lonely, and I have no frens?

As of this year, I am 30 year old guy, she is 26. The story goes. I fell in love with her 4 years ago. It was a 'right one' type of love. Since the first day we started, I started planning to marry her, and decided to give my life to her, and from that day onwards, I grew more and more in love with her. 3 years passed happily, no quarrels, no major arguments, we had a perfect relationship. She just started work 2 years back. She is now entering her 3rd year of working life. I have been through a lot with her, her studies, her graduation, her job hunt, her job coping, her family ups and downs, her personal ups and downs, her health. Like I said, I love her, and I will give my all to her. It is all these things that drives me on to want to give a better life to her. We just celebrated our 4th year together in June this year. I just started a new job. I took this job in the hope that it will bring me closer to the ability to give her a good life, a good marriage. I live in a metropolitan country, housing is expensive, I have seen bad situations from some peers that they worry a lot over the cause of money. I do not want that to happen. The job is horrible, I got depressed and started to be a boring person. We still go out routinely, but 1 month before she called it, I felt a bit distant from her. She do not hold my arms anymore, or not as lovingly. She seldom call me and tell me about her outings with friends so much already. She started to call me less and less after work as we make our way home. She used to be very chatty and happy to be going home after work. Then one night after our routine exercise session, she ask me to be her brother. It was very unexpected. She say she do not have the boyfriend feelings for me anymore, and we are becoming more like brothers and sisters instead of boyfriend girlfriend. She say we are too close till this happened. I probe her to check if she has another guy, she is not the lying type. I trust her when she say she does not. She is a good girl, very filial, very loving, but I do not understand why she has to do this, and I think I will never understand. As of this question writing, it is the 3rd day since that fateful night. We had a lot of things in the pipeline. We have planned vacation, we have planned occasions, we are even waiting for some studio prints to arrive, and we paid for it like 5 days before that night. There was absolutely no reason at all for her to want to go through all those plans if she already intended to leave me. We even celebrated her birthday happily less than 1 month ago. The call off was extremely sudden and uncalled for. Why go through all those things when she was ready to let go? My take was she finds me boring recently, but I do have reasons. I was saving very hard, working very hard, for a planned proposal next year. I am tarnished. I am crushed. My 4 years of planning to a close to perfect marriage just went poof into the air. I love her too long, too deep. I am not angry at her. I am not mad nor am I thinking she jilted me or other guy. I am just extremely disappointed, and crushed, and lost. For 4 years, I lived my life with her, and I thought confidently in my heart she will be the one I will live the rest of my life with. To grow old with. To have children with. I do not think I will ever stop loving her, even if I move on, I will not be able to forget all the things we did for 4 years. All the happy days. I have given all my love to her. I have an empty heart now. I am old and I am a non-social guy, I will most likely go home after work every day, and waste my weekends at home on Xbox. My weekends was always with her, and no other. Do not tell me to let go, it is not the case of simply letting go. My love for her is as strong as a mother's love for her child, it cannot be let go. Even if she is not in my life now, I still can't stop loving her. What should I do? I am afraid this love will cause me to reject others, and I will grow old alone, and die alone, and be lonely for the rest of my life. Should I even attempt to win her back? Like how I wooed her years ago? I would if there is the slightest chance that good things will happen. more

Resolved Question: Sort out my relationship?

My girlfriend and I have been together for two years. I’m 35 and she’s 28. Six month ago I found her e-mail account open and read all her e-mails (I never wanted to read her e-mail since that day, I trust her till that day). But the e-mail contains so many amazing stories, she is chatting/dating?- with three guys, for all of them she sent them her very nice pictures. With one of the guy is it is a series one, he live in another state and they had a plan to meet somewhere and do whatever they want- she actually told me she is planning to go for her friend wedding in that state. We have a series discussion with the issue and she apologized, I love her so I accepted it. However, my heart didn’t accepted her fully, since then I became very suspicious, I want to read her e-mail, sometimes I will check her call and text. After six months, she went to vacation to another state alone, she asked my permission to go, I am not happy with that and I said OK. She went there to visit her best male friend. I trust her friend, but I don’t trust her friend friend. To make the story short, she spent most of the time with the other guy (her best friend friend), she told me they partied together, movies, she told me only few. I don’t trust this guy, and decided to check her call record online, and there are thousands of text message, but when she come home all the text message were deleted. She hide some of the pictures she had with him, but found them those pictures, they are disturbing to me. Even after she came home, he call her very repeatedly and she also call him, a lot of text message, she go to bed and talk to him. She always defends her, saying she is honest and all her friends are just friends, she told me she is deleting text and e-mail message because I will be angry. she said she will continue to do the same thing, she is not willing to stop some of them. So I told her to end our relationship here What is going on please tell me, does this girl love me or she is in love with another guy? I am wrong by checking her e-mail and text messages? Does she deserve a second chance? What is the best scenario to heal this relationship? Please help me I angry and depressed at the moment, she has no place to go that is one of my concerns. more

Resolved Question: I love her. What should I do?

We knew eachother for a few weeks before things became romantic and intimate. She had guy who had been a friend for awhile now. He was a short, and fat. I always joked that she should date him, but she always brushed him off saying that hes just too gross for her. However it turned out this guy had loved her for a very long time and suddenly snapped when he saw she was happy with me. He suddenly became rude to me, and constantly tried to get me to swing a punch at him just so I would look like the bad guy. He would plan events with her and tried to make sure I had no way of contacting her. He took her phone and made sudden plans so she had no time to tell me in advance. Then he became very pushy and started to force himself on her. I finally had it and called him out on it. During this time, he pretty much created walls around her and tried to keep all friend out from contacting her. He tried to convince her that he was the only good person and everyone else is trying to use her. It worked momentarily. But when I talked sense back into her, she told us both to leave her alone. She eventually told me that we should just be friends. I was of course hurt, but let her make her own decisions. I loved her enough to let her go. And as days went by, she came back to me. Things went back to being great and we had some of the best times of our lives. However once again, her friend tried to come back, and the guilt trips he told her drove her to tears. She left me once again, and during that time he rushed in and carried her away and slammed the door so no one could follow him. I tried to reach her, but had a hard time getting to her. When she saw me, he would make her feel bad for seeing me. Sometimes I did get her, but most times she felt bad and couldnt come back to me. She hurt me alot, and she didnt want to hurt anyone else like that. She didnt want to hurt her friends feelings so although she didnt like what he was doing, she didnt put up a huge effort against it. It was simpler to accept things the way they were than to possibly hurt others to get what she wanted. In the end I left thinking that if she didnt want me. I dated other women, but nothing ever lasted. No one was like Her and I kept hating that I compared most women to Her. But I moved on, and despite her disgust, she began dating her friend. During this time, it was hard to talk to her. She would talk, but the second HE came in, she went silent. Neither one of them talked to me anymore. She would try to talk to me, but always made sure that her boyfriend was gone. Most of the time he wasnt. She never asked him to be around all the time, but he was pretty clingy so she never got any alone time. So I moved on. I still missed her though. I still talked to her, and when she talked to me, she was super happy. She was on vacation for a few months. She asked me to come visit her, and after awhile of questioning if I had the time to do it, I did. We met up and had a blast. We traveled cities, and went hiking. At first it was subtle, but as time went on, she began flirting with me and touching me alot. She would fall asleep in my arms on train rides and tell me how much she missed me. She finally leaned in to kiss me. I didnt know what to do because I did want her back, but she was still with her boyfriend. I was afraid I would ruin my trust if I tried to make a move. She told me she loved me, and one day I had to leave to go back home and take care of some things. Several days after my arrival, I hear her boyfriend started to yell at her for seeing me and she cried alot. She texted me she loves me but she doesnt want to be with me. Part of me believes that he made her say that, but part of me fears that she really meant this. We talked on skype, and sometimes I would see that he made her cry. We played games online, and even after coming back home, it would feel like she was still here. During our chats, we would still flirt with eachother, and although she would never say it, she would lip the words "I Love You" on the camera or say the word Elephant Shoes (our inside joke because we felt silly saying I love you outloud). only once did we ever say I love you to eachother. One day I even talked to her boyfriend about how I feel about him. He evaded me alot, all while I wanted to finally make my move. I want to try and win her back. I feel confident in the fact that she is actually very shallow and I am SIGNIFICANTLY more attractive than her current boyfriend. She is also very comfortable with me, and I am honest to her. I know she finds me attractive and feels safe with me. The only thing I fear is that she is with her current boyfriend. Despite all of the things he has done, she still stayed with him, so I keep questioning if I will ever have a chance. She is coming back home tomorrow and I have been waiting for months to make a move on her. Any advice at all? more

Resolved Question: Is this a good morning routine?

Well, Ive never really had to do any acne treatments because i never really broke out at all and i really kept myself clean. Well surprisingly now im breaking out in whiteheads and small pimples. im like NO! im also trying to lose about 15 pounds that i gained on my vacation. Those buffets sure get ya! hahaha. well heres what im planning to do: Wake up at 6 am go on elliptical for 20 minutes. Take a 10 minute shower. Use Noxzema Deep Lathering Cleanser in shower (ive always used this) I use Hydrating Teatree Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. I also deep condition with Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Masque once every two weeks. I use a loofah to exfoliate my skin, does that work? So if im really breaking out i use my proactiv renewing cleanser on the spots with most zits. Then i get out and comb my hair and then apply Biosilk Silk Treatment to my damp hair. I then use my stridex acne pads. Then 3 times a week i moisturize with either aveeno clear complextion moisterizer or proactiv oil free moisturizer with spf 15. Then i get dressed, let my hair air dry, and eat a fruit for breakfast. When my hair is dry, i straighten it. I put it in layers and use my Pantene Shine and Heat protection spray on each layer. Either i straighten it or curl or just leave it or do something lol. After that im pretty much done and just apply my usual every day makeup. I get my stuff together and then go on the computer or something and then leave for work. I dont eat lunch all day other than maybe a water, juice, and a granola bar or something. Then i get home and eat a nice healthy dinner. Sounds good? My coworker who i am very close to pointed out that i was getting a few pimples and i freaked. (we are really good friends lol) im glad she pointed it out. But what i noticed by myself is that i went for a good 120 to 145 in 8 days at my resort! CRAZY!!! lol so thanks in advance plz helP! more

Resolved Question: Should my roommate have to pay me back the damage deposit?

My boyfriend and I just recently moved in with his bestfriend Ryan. We were living on our own (bf and I), and then his bestfriend broke up with his long term girlfriend and needed a place to stay. Our lease was ending a month later, and Josh (bf) and I were planning on just moving into a basement suite since both of us are in University so we are on a very tight budget. However, since his friend needed a place, we all decided to rent a place together. We were originally looking at duplexes and townhouses because of Josh and mines tight budget, but Ryan OFFERED to pay more since he didn't want to share walls and wanted a house. He orignially offered to pay $1000 every month. He decided to take a vacation when we were looking for places, so Josh and I had to make the decision on our own. Ryan gave us a list of things he wanted. A garage, a separate living room for his 'theater room' (hes a tech junkie), a big yard and a big bedroom Josh and I found a place that had everything. Ryan came back and originally said he liked the place. Rent would be $700 for him, and $950 for Josh and I.... Remember, Ryan OFFERED to pay more (more per person since Josh and I are technically paying $475 each), and even offered to pay up to $1000 a month. He knew going in that our absolute limit was $950, and at this place he only needs to pay $700 to make up the difference. Now its 2.5 months later, and both times rent has come around theres been a huge argument. At first he agreed to the $700, but then when rent was due there was a huge problem getting it.. Now hes saying its not fair and he won't pay that much rent. He makes TWICE as much as Josh and I put together (Since we are students), but he blows it on junk.. he never ever eats at home.. all 3 meals he eats are at restaurants.... he always has to borrow money from people (I just found this out). We can not afford this place if he does not pay $700, so we will have to break the lease. If we do though, we will lose our DD , which Josh and I paid $900 of and without it, we will have no money to put towards a DD for a new place to live. I think that if we have to move, Ryan should have to pay us that money since we are losing it because HE DECIDED TO BACK OUT OF WHAT HE ORIGINALLY WAS THE ONE TO OFFER (I never once asked him to pay more, I was fine living in a duplex, but he OFFERED to pay more bcuz he was the one who had to have a house)... Anyways, do you think that its fair that he pay us out of his pocket for the money was lost due to breaking the lease? **P.S we didn't get anything signed as we knew that even if we did, we would never take him to court over it (We cant afford it)... Its not like he forgets that he said that, hes just saying he changed his minding, so having it in writing wouldnt make a difference more

Resolved Question: my still needs space?

long story short, my wife said she needed space 4 months agao. I have some flaws I am working and so does she. I did 2 months of therapy by mysefl and we have been doing couples therapy for 5 weeks. She got 1 week away for work and then we went on vacation and the day we got back she checked into an extended stay for a month. I suggested she go to her parents and she said no way! She didnt want them monitoring them. I also suggested she go to her coworkers house who is married. She said she wanted to be alone. Well 30 days later I asked what she wants to do now. She said her parents. She said it will be cheaper and she would be closer to our son. She's going from having peace and quiet to having her parents hover over her. We are cordial to each other and we love our son to death. She just needs space. Her parents love me and they no how lop sided this marriage is meaning i cook , clean take care of our son. My wife works late hours so I pick up the slack. So living with her parents could be a good thing because they mite talk so sense into her. On the other hand it could go terribly wrong. This could be really awkward, we have a family vacation coming up with all of the grand parents, i'm the best man in her brothers wedding. Ugh this is crazy. I would like to see if we could cohabitate with some rules in place so that I give her space. But on the other how will we work it with our son if she wants to stay with her parents. This is very confusing and we need to come up with a plan of action as to what we are going to do. I wish she would stay home because just think if she goes to her parents its going to get weird cause I have such a good relaitionship..MY WIFE STILL NEEDS SPACE? more

Resolved Question: what do you think about this?

opinion and or advice please? When i had my daughter back in 2006 her father and i got into a huge fight, after I had her her father sign up for the Army. When she was 6 days old he left. One months later he is in the Army MP. Every since then he does not do anything with her, his excuse was he never has time. He went to training, came home and saw her, then went to Iraq for a year. Not once did he call, send a letter, or anything. So when he got home i gave him thebenefit of the doubt and let him try to be a father again. I put him on child support and all i get is $388 a month. Not evn enough for half of her cost. So we had a contrct for him to pay half of her day care everyweek, and when he wants to vist her to give me a weeks notice. (we did this becasue he would just come home at a random time and expect me to drop everything i was doing so he could see her, (i do understand that he may not know when he gets to come home but to atleast give me a heads up that you might be coming so i know to plan maybe a vacation around it). So i am married to some one else, who she happens to call daddy. ALL she has ever known. He watns to adopt her and be 100 percent her father. But of coarse her biological father wont go with it. Even though he hasnt called/seen her in a year. Never sent a freaking card in the mail or anything. No christmas for her, no birthday card a t the least, and worse of all not even a phone call. I now feel that when he trys to see her next are call her next if ever, that i am just going to hang up on him. I want to protect her for him. I do not want her to grow up with knowing her bio father has nothing to do with her. And is only a 1 time a year dad. I do not want her to feel that diasppointment as if she is not good enough for him because he has nothing to do with her. what should i do, i dont ever want her to be mad at me if i dont allow him to not see her. But what can i do, i feel that he doesnt deserve to be in her life for the way he has treated her. He only pays is 388 dollar a month child support becasue the srmy makes him, i know when he gets out he will never make a payment. He does not care if i dont have enough money to support her(which i do, but its the thought that counts) All he thinks is that im trying to get money from him, but i would be happy if he would just make an effort,a phone call, a 46 cent letter. Thats all. I dont have his number bc i dont want to get so angry one day to call him and tell his how much of a poece of **** he really is. He even lie to my daughter. Told us 2 yers ago he was sending her a package in the mail... it never came. Thansk for your advice.. and sorry this is so long!flustera.. i do get what your saying, and im not mad at him for leaving , im married and i have asked for him to just give up all parental rights child support too so that myhusband canadopt her. I dont watn anything to do with him since he has never beenapart of her life. even when he comes home he dont ever try to see her. I just wish if he was going to be her father that he would try to be part of it. He dont make an effort.LOVING WIFE: do you know if it is one year with paying child support or 1 year without paying child support also with not contacting? I have wanted to cancel his orders to pay child support, to see if he would make them on his own, but my husband is againt me doing that. more

Resolved Question: How can I win my unemployment appeal?

I recently had a baby in April 2010. I had been at my job for 4 years, also a top producer (sales) for all 4 years. Each summer my "team" goes out of town to sell in another city. We stay out of town Mon - Fri. I planned my pregnancy so that my 12 weeks of leave would fall exactly in sync with the 12 weeks we spend out of town, therefore I would be able to return to work as my team was returning to our home office. My doctor put me on leave due to back and blood pressure issues 3 weeks early, and my son was born 2 weeks early. This threw a wrench into my plan to return to work. I had come to the conclusion that I was going to have to just leave my son at home with my husband while i was gone during the week, My husband is in the National Guard, and his AT (annual 2 week training period) fell exactly on my day that I was supposed to return to work. I called my supervisor as soon as i found out (wed before the monday i was due to return), he was out of town on vacation. He returned my phone call on Monday and I told him my situation, that I was going to leave my son at home with my husband, but he will not be home for two weeks (company does not allow family to stay with me in the company provided apartments) and that I could not be there due to no child care. I asked if there was something I could do locally for the 2 weeks until I could get there, or if i could just use my FMLA. He said he would call HR and ask. 2 minutes later, HR calls me and sayd why arent you back at work, I explained and she said you are not eligible for FMLA b/c there are not 55 employees within a 75 mile radius so my office is not eligible. I only get 12 weeks, and that my 12 weeks are up. Therefore "we are going to have to seperate employment" (her exact words).. I was shocked. So here is my story. No job, new baby, and denied unemployment b/c my company says that I quit voluntarily. more

Resolved Question: Liberals: explain to me why you should have health insurance if you work less than 40 hours per week?

Health insurance is for people who work real jobs, jobs that require that you get out of bed, get in your car, drive to a building, sit yourself in a cubicle or office, do actual work for 40 hours per week and then go home. When you take a vacation, you don't take more than two weeks. Those are what are known as people who should have health insurance/health care. Now, explain to me, liberals, how those of you who don't have real jobs: part timers, no timers, college professors, Marxist teachers, artists, hippies should have the same health insurance as those who work REAL jobs with REAL hours and NORMAL vacation time. I am sorry but if you make jewelry and teach two classes on basket weaving and take the whole summer off, there is no reason why you should have health insurance. This is not Switzerland or Japan or Ireland, we don't do socialism here ----we reward those who actually work and health insurance is one of those rewards. Now, if you want health insurance, go out and find a 40-hour-a-week job with two weeks of vacation, an actual office and a retirement plan. I am sorry, but teaching part time at a community college, freelance writing and selling homemade jewelry is not a real job, therefore, no health insurance.What I am saying is, I have a neighbor who has Crohn's Disease and is always complaining about her job, how she has to work full time even though she's sick just to get benefits b/c the state won't put her on the state insurance plan b/c she's not sick enough ---I am sorry, but this person wants to use her illness to live a way of life that is not consistent with American values, she keeps telling me that she wants to quit her full-time office job and teach part time at the community college and make jewelry at home for sale ----Sorry, that is not a real job! You can't just go around doing whatever you feel like, America needs a workforce not people who think that they can just work a little bit here and a little bit there and make jobs out of their hobbies. There's a reason why it's called work. Teaching part time at a community college and making necklaces is not a real job. more
