Resolved Question: What is this house called?

I saw an article in a news paper several years ago and I am trying to find out the name of the house or the company that builds these types of homes. I've searched all over for a few days and I have had no luck. To construct the house, the wood used for building would be pre-cut to the exact sizes that are needed so all that was left was to assemble the house. Assembling the house for the most part just strictly relied on wooden joints such as mortise and tenon, rabbit, butt, etc. If I remember correctly, it could only be one story high due to the structure needed to keep it together. Furthermore, the floor plan was open as well as beams showing. Please help me find what I am looking for as this is my dream vacation home!I believe I found what I am looking for - Timber Framed Homes. more

So i only have a 296x176 lot left. My question is.. what are included on the setbacks..? i mean.. if ever i want to place something like a big deck for the back of my house.. will it be okay if i use the setback? if they said that the lot should have a setback, what does it mean? i'm only planning to use "some" part of the setback for my deck.. is that okay? or i really don't have a choice but not to use the setback? thanks in advance.. i can't continue drafting my floor plan because i don't know if i can use the setback or not. more

Resolved Question: Is it appropriate to ask my friend to pay for my carpet he ruined?

My boyfriend and I planned a short vacation and were not sure what to do with our animals. I'm new to the state and have two cats, however none of my boyfriends friends were willing to house-sit or come over once a day and scoop our litter box. At the very last minute, my boyfriends best friend gave in, saying he would stay at our home knowing he'd have to scoop litter. I left him a note, warning him one of my cats has developed behavioral issues and has become very picky about his litter box and that it needs to be cleaned daily and fresh litter added, other wise he WILL urinate on our carpet. We had just replaced all the soiled carpet in the basement with linoleum because of this issue. I had also spoke to him about this, trying to make it very clear he could not ignore the litter box. He said "don't worry, everything will be fine." While on vacation we called him twice and he even said "I scooped the litter this morning" so we were confident things would be fine when we got home. To our horror, as soon as we stepped in the front down, the sting of cat urine stung our eyes. I went straight to the litter box, finding it so dirty there were "muddy" tracks all over the basement plus many new urine spots. My boyfriend called his friend and asked what happened. His friend kept saying "but I scooped the litter box, I did!" But I knew he was lying, I had scrubbed the scooper, it was spotless and I even thought to myself that I'd know if he didn't scoop the box, because the scooper would still be clean. There it was, untouched and still spotless. I told him this and he confessed, he didn't scoop the litter once. Now, our carpet upstairs in our living room is ruined. We've tried using every type of cleaner, even cleaners with enzymes, nothing works. We are forced to rip out this carpet as well, however... Should our house-sitter be held responsible? Would it be appropriate to ask him to help us pay for it? We have looked into some inexpensive linoleum (lets face it, carpet is worthless with animals) so it's not like were asking him for hard wood flooring. I'm not sure what to do...We didn't ask him, he offered because no one else would stay. I think he is responsible when I asked him to do something and he didn't do it, he knew of the behavioral issue and ignored it, therefore making him responsible. Also, I'm not looking to sue him, and I haven't demanded anything, so all this legal babble is overboard. At the beginning, I mentioned, there was no one else to watch our cats and we trusted him do to a decent job. After speaking with him he seemed fine with what we asked of him, even with the behavioral issue, if he had a problem then he should have spoke up. It's not my fault he lead us to believe he was capable, when he wasn't. Just wanted another point of view, in a positive way, if you were in my position, and this happened to you, would you ask your friend to help pitch in the cost. Also, we had the problem under control, so replacing ALL carpet wasn't something we had planned. more

Resolved Question: What does it mean to "sell the key"?

Resolved Question: What do you think of this story?

Late that cold winter night, I would come to find myself in am awkward position. One that would change my life and the way I looked upon my master. Truthfully I have feared her ever since that day, and can’t stare her in the eyes without thinking that I could be next. Mary has always been a person to have everything that she wanted. Her father accustomed her to receiving the most expensive and valued gifts when he returned from his vacations in Europe. Being the only girl in a family of eleven males she was babied beyond belief. Master Morris, believed that he was treating Mary as a princess but, in reality he was creating a monster. A monster that would feed off of the pain and wealth of others. No one knew the true Mary, but I. Being the servant in the house I would be there for everything the little girl wanted. I to, unknowingly, would be feeding that monster that would grow with the years. At the age of fourteen Mary realized that being the youngest and the only female of the family she would inherit none of her father’s wealth. This enraged her, releasing her true character. Knowing of the news she plotted plans that would allow her to take her father’s place in the kingdom. Mary dreamed and desired to be the queen of the land, and rule as she wanted. Locked in her room, she would quietly plan out her family’s destruction. I feared this room, and dread even looking at the old hand carved door, just knowing that Satan’s daughter would be on the other side pondering on her next move, struck me with life threatening images. December third we would come to find Mary’s plan was no longer a secret. Lying on the floor of their bed rooms, three brothers lay motionless, cold as stone, with an M carved into their foreheads. When every being in the home was questioned Mary’s, of all people, would pierce right through you, leaving you unknowing of what to think or how to respond. Those words echoed through me all night. Never allowing me to close my eyes with out seeing her repeat them over. “I do not know who took there lives, but I will say this, who ever has done it, lies close to me and works in my favor.” “How could a woman of this class stand there and say this of her own blood?” Said I, standing their waiting for a response. I couldn’t bare the pain of seeing three members of a family, which I grew up with, laying on the floor lifeless while Mary stood above them, just wishing for the other to go as well. No one thought much of Mary’s words but I. But being of my low rank in the estate I would be beaten or even imprisoned if I spoke out among the princess. Three weeks went by, the house was quiet, and Mary’s presence was unseen or heard of. I tended my chores with out a thought on my mind of where Mary would be. I loved working in garden, cleaning up after the villagers was a privilege to me, due to the fact that I took pride in my work. But one morning the whole house would be in terror. The killer that night had stricken and took the life of the other eight brothers, all at once. With the fear that Mary could be next guards were positioned at her door to protect her of what could come. But No one knew that they were in fact protecting the murderer. As I was water the flowers out side her room one day I could hear her giggling. A giggle that would penetrate your mind and never let you be at peace. I sneaked up to the window and looked in to see Mary dancing alone, giggling, laughing and talking to herself. At that very instance I realized that Mary had lost her mind. She was no longer sane and with the king’s death the kingdom would no longer stand. But as I was in my state of thought I saw her pick up a sharp, shiny-silver blade from beneath her mattress, spin it in the air, and then dash out side of the room. I immediately myself, dashed around the corner pass the guards that were a sleep on the hay, ran up the crooked, broken steps and past the front door. To see Mary run into the king’s chamber. As I was going to enter after her, one of the none asleep guards stopped me. “Halt!” he said. “Where go you?” I responded “Oh I was just going to check on the king and tend to his needs at this time.” “And who are you?” He demanded “I am the servant of the home, and by that I can with out a problem enter the room when ever I may like.” Said I. But upon my completion we heard a large thug against the ground. As if a body has fallen, and never returned to it proper position. I, with out thought ran for the room, and with out surprise saw Mary standing there emotionless with her own fathers head in her hands. That was the coldest day that all of the land has felt, life would never be the same for any of us. Days went by and the empire started to fall and crumble with out a proper ruler, and was later taken over by the neighboring king. Since then we’ve lived our lives as best as we could. But no one would ever speak the name of Mary due to the fear that her spirit would come for more

Resolved Question: How can a mother just leave her children and move away?

I know a man whom is a very strong and independent person and I was shocked to learn he is still haunted by something his mother did 30 years ago. He was 10 and his younger brother 8 when his aunt decided to take them on a vacation. They had a blast on the trip and were excited to come home and tell their mother all about the things they had done. When they arrived home they walked in and found the house empty, I mean empty no furniture, tv, microwave but worse of all their baby kittens had died on the kitchen floor. He said they were confused and their aunt had no idea what was going on. After realizing that their mother was no where in sight, their aunt took them home with her until she could figure out what had happened. Two days later his aunt finally tracked his mother down, she had moved 1500+ miles away. She had planned to leave when they were gone and had no remorse for her actions. Her only defense was that she just wanted to get away. He was raised by his grandmother and aunt for the next 5 years until she moved back. He has lost all affection for her and she played the victim every time he tried to get answers. And still to this day he can't understand why she would not take her children with her. Oh and by the way for the years she was gone she lived with her other sister and had a boyfriend, the only reason she moved back was because she ended the relationship she was in and wanted to "get away" again. I don't understand how a mother leave her children and come back years later and pretend she had never left? To this very day she still doesn't see what she did was wrong?She did far more damage by leaving with not even a hint that she wanted to get away. I have three kids of my own and I know how hard it can be but you can't just walk away! He felt unloved and unwanted and lets face it when you have kids you need to put their needs first. It is now affecting his relationships and he stays detached out of fear of being hurt like that again! more

Voting Question: My boyfriend cancelled going on a trip with me, why?

I took a last minute vacation this week and plan a trip to the beach for the weekend and my boyfriend agreed to go when we talked about it on Monday and then tonight he canceled, stating that he wanted to finish putting down the hardwood floors in his house and go bowling with his friend from the bowling league who will be having surgery that will prevent him from bowling for the next 3-4 months. Am I freaking out or should he have not canceled on me....I don't feel important! We have been together 3 mths and we are both 26 and do not live together. Also, whenever I pay for dinner he always offers to pay half, I hate that it embarasses me in front of the waiter as if we are not together or are "just" friends....urghhh help me please!Also, adults with mature responses only please...as I have received a very ignorant immature response more

Resolved Question: My husband is acting strange...?

For the past week or so, my husband of 3 years has been acting really strange. He is always cranky, miserable, standoffish, and just plain cruel to me and our young son. I can barely talk to him without him getting very sarcastic, mad at everything I say and gets really mad at little things I do. He also stopped sleeping in our room, so I sleep with my two year old. He sleeps on the living room floor. He barely wants to hold our son, he is always yelling, and just wants to watch TV when he's home from work. He doesn't want to do anything with me, we never go out. Overall, he's just miserable with his life. We do not have a sex life. I don't have any desire to sleep with him because of the way he is towards me and our son. He works every day, from morning to night, and he is tired. Yet he doesn't want to take any time off. He doesn't want to take days off or go on a vacation. When he does plan something, it usually does NOT involve me or our son. He wants to go off on his own. He says he is getting depressed from working, and I'm always telling him he needs to take time off, he just throws it in my face that "someone" in this house needs to work (I don't work right now). We are doing fine on his salary and he just does not want to take any time off. I wanted to know what the hell his deal is because its become to the point where I don't even want to talk to him anymore. I don't want to be in the same room as him. If any women out there have experienced this before, please give me some advice. I'd really appreciate it. more

Voting Question: Does anyone know what my dream means?

Last night I had this CRAZY dream. I was on vacation with all of my best friends, my boyfriend, and some girl I didn't know. We were staying in a neighborhood that looked "normal" and wasnt really a place for vacation. The night that we got there, everyone was asleep except for me and another girl and we decided to go outside and smoke. While we were on the balcony, the thing from Jeepers Kreepers flew over and killed her while I ran inside and woke everyone and we made plans about how to get away. The next thing we knew, Jeepers Kreepers was in the house. He slowly murdered everyone in the house except for my boyfriend, the girl I did not know and myself. The three of us went and hid in a secret room that looked like a book shelf. There was a gun in there and my boyfriend took it and shot the Jeeper Kreepers thing, which stayed on the floor, breathless, for maybe thirty secoonds. Then, it got up and my boyfriend told me how to escape and then distracted the monster (and got killed) while I went into the garage and drove the car through and underground tunnel and went to the nearest town, where the whole military was eating breakfast. I told them what had happened and they went back to the house, killed the monster and saved the girl that I didn't know. more

Voting Question: house sitter sister drama!?

Im going out of town with my husband for a week and a half. We have 3 cats that need to be fed and watered and we need someone to check the mail. In the past, my sister has watched my cats for me but the last time I came home after my week-long honeymoon, her and her boyfriend had trashed my house, drank 3 bottles of alcohol that was in the back of my cupboard. My blender and iced tea maker were on the floor of my livingroom.....but she did the dishes and made a big deal over how she "helped" me. My cats didnt die, so I guess that she kept them fed. I wanted to give her another chance to do a big favor for me and prove to me that she could be trusted to act like an adult (she's 20). For the past several nights, Ive had nightmares about coming home to my house after my much needed vacation. She already said that she would stay at my place (for at least a few days) and then come back just to feed the cats. I really would rather pay a perfect stranger than to give her my house key. Her boyfriend who just turned 21 drinks NON stop and I dont want to have the cops called on my home while Im away. Would you risk giving her another chance and spelling out for her what is acceptable and what is not or would you tell her that the deal is off and get someone else to do it. I plan on asking my mom and mother in law to share the job for us while we're away (since they've offered to help with that in the past) but I fear that my mom will say that Im just paranoid and let my sister do the job for her. The other big issue is, we will return the weekend before her 21st birthday. For the past 2 weeks, she keeps asking "when are you leaving and when are you coming back?"....sounds like someone might be planning a party! Also, if I tell her the deal is off, should I make up some b.s. reason to not hurt her feelings and start trouble or tell her the truth?un-needed in-laws....good excuse! yea, she does have her own place.....her, her alcoholic bf and two other people....in ONE place!thank you all, for the reassurance that I am not a paranoid, psychotic PITA and that my sister cannot be trusted. I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else! I WILL find someone else to do it for me and tell her that its out of the question! Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Cat with missing fur and red torn skin?

I'm currently catsitting for friend while they are on a 3 week vacation. One of their cats tends to get in scrapes and spends most of his time outdoors. Yesterday I noticed that some of his fur on the side of his face looked a little matted but assumed something was stuck in it, as it did not appear to be bothering him. Tonight when I came back to the house, the patch of matted fur was lying on the floor and he now has a sizable bald spot where the fur was. Also, there is a circular area within the bald spot where it appears the outer layer of skin peeled away and it is very red. Any suggestions? I definitely don't want to be the cause of the death of my friends' cat but they also told me that he gets injured often and they usually just let it go because he knows how to take care of his own wounds. I plan to call my friend in the morning to ask what they'd like me to do, but just wanted some help. Thanks.Also, I plan to keep him inside tomorrow and he wears a flea collar and had all of his monthly treatments done just before my friends left for vacation.The only thing I can liken it to is when you're shaving and you don't just nick your skin but you kind of shave off that whole layer of skin, that's what it looks like. It isn't really bleeding, just red. He has no other loss of fur on his body. I cleaned it out with some rubbing alcohol and put Bactine on it. He seemed totally unfazed while I was touching it, so I can't imagine he is in much pain. I mean, he was even purring! more

Resolved Question: Do I stay or do I go?

Everything started summer 2008. I got laid of in June, had my son in July, and my brother in law moved August. There really was no summer vacation for me. I decided to be a home maker in July because daycare costs almost 1800 a month for 3 babies. Everything was gravy. My husband and I rotate care with the children so I can get relief. We planned our future business together as well as our life. Those days were great until his baby brother moved in from overseas. The deal was that his brother was to help babysit so I can work 2 days and he can help with the house. The brother has taken advantage of me by never coming home when he's suppose to, lying on me to his mom overseas, lying to us in our face, eating all my food that I made for my 3 children, peeing on the toilet, throwing his clothes on the dining room floor just to name a few and my husband does not even tell him anything. Instead my husband tells me to control my anger. I am stuck at home for 5 days at a time without going outside bc there is no car or no help for me with the kids. I use to be the only one my husband talks to about his goals, now he tells his baby brother everything throughout the day. All I get is to see my husband back from work 7pm and sit with his bro and watch tv until 11 or 12 midnight. Then he remembers me, but I'm tired from running around the whole day, so I do not want to get intimate. Then my husband gets upset and sleeps. We do not even talk bc the bro is always there like a virus. This is just the tip of what's going on. My feelings towards my husband are resentment, bitterness, and betrayal to name a few. I do not want to be with him anymore because he has allowed his family to take my freedom. We do not have money to put kids in daycare so I can work or have a break, that is why the bro came, to help. If I was on my own with my children, I can get help to put my kids in daycare so I can make something of myself. What would you do?? I am to my last straw?? more

Voting Question: What can i do about my family?

my ex of 5 years and i broke up recently. a very bad break up. we have 2 kids (4yo & 8months old). we recently have begun talking, and are not planning on getting back together, but at least getting along for now and see where it goes. well, my fam was real quick to tell me to get rid of him & forget about him & that they will help me. and well, it's been only 3.5 weeks. nobody calls, nobody helps. they see me struggling & dealing with 2 kids, and never offer a hand. we live next door to eachother, and they see me outside unloading a car full of groceries with a baby on my hip and never come out to ask if i need any help (the walk from the car to the house is a little hike!). today i came home and had all my luggage (from a short vacation i took) and when i called to ask for help there reply was "we are sitting down to have some breakfast" it was 12noon! my sister went down to miami with me, and after just 2 days she left with my dad saying that she is sick of the kids and having to help. the only time i asked her to help me were when i was taking a shower, loading/unloading the truck, trying to make the kids dinner, stuff like that. where i can't deal with them & do it too. not without a highchair or bouncer or anything to keep my son from destroying these people's house we were staying at. he is in the crawling stage & into EVERYTHING. and all he wanted to do was climb up the stairs, play with the glass vases on the floor or in the liquor cabinet! so yeah...i get absolutely no help. i asked them if they could help me monday-thursday from 4pm-9pm so that i can go back to school and get a degree in SOMETHING. their reply is "No way!" every single one of them. i have a mom, dad (but he works in miami during the week), brother (who is 20), his fiance (who is 20), they have a 11month old son & a 13year old sister. it's like...aaaall them people in the house and not ONE could help me out. then they want me to give them my ex's 4-wheeler and they will pay the payment monthly. i asked, why can't i just give HIM the 4-wheeler (although it's in my name) since they already have TWO, and let him continue to pay for it, and they can help me keep up with my mortgage instead of putting that money towards the quad. so i don't lose my HOUSE. their reply "i'm not gonna pay for something i'm not going to have anything to do with!". u know, i am trying so hard. they told me LET HIM GO, and MOVE ON, and DROP THAT *******, and they would help me, and NOW? not ONE of them gives a crap and i sit at home all alone, nobody to talk to, debt up the ***, may lose my HOME, i'm a stay at home mom doing everything i can to continue this, taking odd jobs here and there to make payments. and not ONE person can help me. they were quick to tell me WHAT to do, and that they WOULD help, and now that it is reality...not finger lifted...it's so frustrating & makes me so mad. i know it's not their responsibility, but at the same time, it's FAMILY. i thought family always stuck together & helped eachother out especially in their time of need?Ummm OLDSPICE - Fuck you. :) How was i to know at the time that he was going to turn out to be irresponsible?? He was a great person, i NEVER seen any of this coming. I'm not asking my family to TAKE CARE OF MY CHILDREN. THey are MY children, and MY responsibility. I am asking them to help me better ME as for me trying to go to school. So again...my reply to YOUR answer is...fuck you :) more

Resolved Question: How can I get help getting my x-husband arrested for stalking?

Soon after I got married I began getting abused. It started with emotional abuse. I was put down so much that I didn’t even feel human. My identity as a woman was stolen from me by my now x-husband. My paycheck went to his bank account, when I was allowed to work, and I was even forbidden from driving a car. He cheated on me at every drop of a hat, and because of that I got an STD, which gave me precancerous cells. He sodomized me on many occasions, so bad that I got hemorrhoids and had to have a colonoscopy, and later a hemoroidectomy. I wasn’t even allowed to vote. The violence got progressively worse, and soon after I found out I was pregnant with my first-born son he became physically abusive. He kicked me in my stomach more times then I remember and forced me to have a threesome with him and another woman. He would not buy food, unless I did. He treated her like a queen and soon I was made to sleep on a cot, get up at 5:00am, clean the house, cook food, and pretty much anything else he could do to dehumanize me, and if I refused…I would suffer. At that time I didn’t realize there were places I could go to get help for this, and I was afraid I could not raise a child alone due to my lack of education, support, and I had no self-esteem. So I stayed. Two months after my oldest son was born my x-husband beat me horribly. I was thrown down a hall, through a closed door, where he rammed my head on a linoleum floor until I bled, strangled me and punched me. The dog had peed in the house so he shoved my face in dog urine laughing while he did this. He probably would have killed me at that time had my neighbors not heard and called the police. When the police came he threatened to kill my son, holding a knife to my two-month-old son’s throat, if I told the police what had happened. I, however, had had enough. He was arrested and kept away for just 72 hours! Yet I had learned my options and left him to begin a new life. Soon after I was able to get a job. I also got victims compensation, which made it possible to get an apartment, a car, and furniture for my home. Yet he continued to harass me by coming to my apartment and even pulled a gun on me. I also later found out that there was sugar and bb’s in my car’s gas tank. After six months I gave him another chance because he told me he had been in anger management and that he would never hurt me again. I believed him. I moved to Tennessee where I knew no one and lived with him in a small country town with very little resources. It took him two weeks to begin again. He threw me so hard I had a bruise the size of a softball on my shoulder. A week after that incident he strangled me so badly I had hemorrhages in my eyes and I was seeing white light. I was pretty much dead already. During the time that I lived there he threatened to kill me many times and told me that no one would find the body. A week later I snuck out at 1:00am and ran away back home to my parents. He followed me that day but soon went home when he realized I would not go back with him. When I returned home I began the process of starting my life over yet again. Two weeks after I got home, however, I realized that I was pregnant. I didn’t even think I could be, he had forced me one night but I thought I had thrown him off before he could finish. I was wrong. I planned on an abortion, but I didn’t have the heart to do it. So I made the choice of being a single mom of two children. On April 7th of 2006 I had a court appointment for my divorce, and Micheal was to take my son for Easter vacation.Because I was pregnant they could not finalize my divorce. When he found out I was pregnant he was furious. After the court hearing he called me at my parents’ house, and stated he was outside, He could not take my son with him to Tennessee; he had changed his mind and was dropping him back off with me. I went outside to see my son sitting in a carseat in the middle of the lawn. He said he wanted to be there for his children and wanted me to go back with him to Tennessee. I told him no; I had given him way too many chances and we just weren't compatable.I asked him to leave my parents house or I would be forced to call the police. He knew I only liked meeting him at public places. When I said this he flipped out at which point he tackled me ripped out clumps of my hair, strangling, and beating me, yet again while pregnant. He had his hand over my mouth and I couldn’t breathe. He threatened to kill me if I didn’t get in the car in 5 seconds. Our son was in his car seat during this whole incident and was screaming while Michael beat me. My son still won’t talk and is very afraid of men. He is glued to my side. He kidnapped me, drove across the city to the airport, and practically dragged me through the airport beaten and bruised. He held onto my son and used him as bait to keep me with him. Thankfully my father, realizing something was wrong, called the police and Michael was captured at the airpor more

Resolved Question: hey obama fans not such a good public speaker Huh?

President Barack Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his TelePrompter. The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks. Resting on top of a tall, narrow pole, they flank his podium during speeches in the White House’s stately parlors. They stood next to him on the floor of a manufacturing plant in Indiana as he pitched his economic stimulus plan. They traveled to the Department of Transportation this week and were in the Capitol Rotunda last month when he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln in six-minute prepared remarks. Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual — not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small. After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama delivered some less-than-soaring speeches, reports surfaced that he was training to wean himself off of the device while on vacation in Hawaii. But no such luck. more

Resolved Question: Your comments on the story i'm writing?

I have started with a story. As of now I have done the character sketch of the main characters. Please read and give in your feedback. Amy: Amy Newton was born in New York and had stayed with her father in the city forever. Her father, Herbert Newton, a famous businessman was travelling most of the time to different countries because of work. Lucy Newton, her mother had passed away when she was only two. Brought up by nannies and maid’s Amy was closer to them during her initial years of growing up. Yet she respected and loved her father more than anyone in this world. Herbert fulfilled all her desires and wishes... expect one. He was not able to spend “Quality” time with his daughter. Amy had travelled with her father across the world during her summer vacations and had enjoyed those days the most as they brought her closer to her father. She detested when the vacations came to an end. The Newton’s had a huge mansion in New York. It was an 8 Bedroom, 3 floored house with a swimming pool in the backyard and a garden in the front which was the size of a baseball field. Built by a famous architect from Rome, the house had ethnic and classical touch of the Roman civilization. Paintings from famous artists hung on the carved walls. The Mansion depicted the wealth of Mr. Newton who was a self-made man. Every room had a different theme. There were rare pieces of decorations brought from different parts of the world to enhance the beauty of the mansion. It was the most aesthetic white structure that the city had ever seen. Milky white marble statues found place in the gardens of the house, which were illuminated with bright lights during the night. The place was no less than a fairy tale castle sitting magnificently in the city, praised by all its audience. Amy was a very beautiful girl. She had the perfect features and perfect body. Long brown hair which were never out of place. It seemed like she never had a bad hair day. Big green eyes which never missed any detail. A smile so warm that it made a dull day bright and shinny. She looked like a ramp model which made boys go all ‘oohh and aahh’ and girls all jealous. A down to earth girl Amy was. Talented and intelligent, she had always been a topper in her school and college. She never mentioned that she was “AMY NEWTON” infront of a crowd, because she wanted to be just Amy. Her father’s name when attached with hers changed things completely. People almost fell to their knees. And she loathed this. Amy enjoyed being outside her home though. An independent soul, she didn’t like to be dependent on her father. Her father on the other hand did not approve her taking up summer jobs when she was not travelling with him. Peacefully both father and daughter used to discuss this issue. Now as she was going to be 20, Amy had decided that she will not join her father’s business. Instead she had a different plan sketched up for her life. But Herbert was hell bent for her to join him as soon as possible. She was delaying the option with excuses that made her father angry. It was her 20th birthday that changed things for Amy. Mark: Mark Stevens was a born rebel. His father, Andrew Stevens, was a famous Lawyer of London. His mother, Emily Stevens, was the owner of one of the most expensive boutique in London. Rich and Famous list was not complete if ‘The Stevens’ were not mentioned in it. And Mark never left any opportunity to use his “Status” to get things done. His father did not like it when he misused their family name. A lot of arguments took place between the father and the son on almost daily basis. Emily was the pacemaker. She took time out of her busy schedule to sit with Mark and talk to him. This made Mark closer to his mother. He confided his deepest secrets to her. In London, the Stevens had a “Palace” in which they lived. It was indeed a palace, which belonged to one of the royalties of the country in the early centuries. Andrew Stevens had bought the property at a very handsome price. Emily had decorated their “Home” in the most beautiful manner. Everything was exquisite, expensive and exotic. A library which was bigger than the town library, an indoor sports area constructed which was well equipped. Both Mark and Andrew enjoyed sports a lot. Andrew was the football team captain when he was in high school. And Mark had led his school team to victory in swimming and basket ball. Their beautiful garden had flowers which were of rare species. The Palace was made of grey brick and stones. A long drive way from the main gate which was huge and made up of wrought iron. Tall and beautiful trees covering the drove way on both sides. A fountain was in the middle of the enormous garden. The palace was included in the most exotic and breath taking palaces of the country. When Mark was 5, his father wanted him learn how to play tennis but Mark was keener on learning swimming. He felt ‘the water’ belonged to him. Mark had created a big sceneWhen Mark was 5, his father wanted him learn how to play tennis but Mark was keener on learning swimming. He felt ‘the water’ belonged to him. Mark had created a big scene and finally his father had to agree with Mark and grant him his wish. Usually when there was a conflict between Mark and his father, Mark won. One reason was that Emily supported Mark. She was the only person who understood... or atleast kind of understood her son. “Brat” was what his father called him when he was upset with Mark. While he was growing up, his father fed into his mind that Mark should become a Lawyer – Just like him – in future. Mark was not fond of this particular career option. He felt he will be overshadowed by his father’s name once he took up law. Though he was a brilliant student and could easily make it big in any of the professions he would have chosen, but being a lawyer was something he had absolutely rejected since childhood. He did not want to be like his father.Mark was a handsome boy. He had the looks of a royalty. Bright blue eyes which pierced easily through anybody’s soul, Pearly white skin with a face and body which belonged to only Greek gods. He was every girl’s dream come true. He was in reach of every soul around him, yet so far. He was a kind of person who understood the situation well and manipulated it according to his benefits. His mind worked in a manner which nobody could ever understand. Not a predictable person Mark was but he could easily predict others. He had already planned his future and was quiet determined on going against his father’s wishes. He knew his mother would support him, like she always had. He also knew that when he would tell his father about his plans, his father would throw a fit around the house which would be extremely difficult to handle. But Mark was ready for all that. more

Resolved Question: How to not end up pulling all my hair out staying home w/a 10 mo. and a 4 1/2 yr old?

My 4 yr old stepson "Mikey" was at his fathers on New Years and broke his femur while rough housing. He is now in a full body cast (mid section to ankles w/legs bent in a sitting position) I have the task of staying home with him and my baby girl "Grace" while my wife works. It is the hardest job I've ever had. I have to carry him from the couch to the bathroom to the floor to his bed to the floor to... He can scoot around on the floor like a crab and Grace can now crawl and wants to touch and taste everything, while he scoots behind her usually being good but sometimes doing nasty little things like pinching her when I'm not looking. I don't know if he is just trying to see what makes her tick, or is frustrated when she isn't giving him attention or if he is a future sadist/neighborhood cat killer.(He displayed this behavior before this happened too. I attribute it to being made to spend time w/his bitter father and whoever else watches him when he's there) I can't keep them separated at all times but sometimes feel I should. I find it very hard to punish a child in a body cast, he knows how much sympathy we all have for him, and knows how to keep us/me busy even when he's stuck on his bed in time out. How do you ignore a kid screaming his back or leg itches with no way to itch it himself. He's so bored he makes me carry him to the bathroom just for something to do even though he doesn't need to go, all the while I have Grace attached to my hip, crying or trying to chew a wire. I'm at a loss, and am getting a serious case of cabin fever. At the same time I feel as if my wife and in-laws think don't appreciate what I'm doing for a child that isn't even my own. They think I'm on a f^%$ing vacation or something. I'm doing this because I was the only one that could leave work w/out going homeless, I love him and it made the most sense. It is much more difficult than I imagined. I can't get either one to take a nap. Once in a while Grace will, but it barely lightens the load. Anyone have any ideas on how to attend to both of their needs w/out going nuts? I planned on making the most of my time at home, teaching Mikey things he is missing at Pre-K and possibly taking on-line courses so I can better my self and family when this is over. It will be 4 wks b4 the cast is off and I still am planning to stay home w/the kids due to the cost of daycare and my marketing/sales job not going anywhere before the accident. I don't have time to shower, scratch my own a**, let alone clean or make dinner for everyone as I also planned. Besides giant hamster balls to put them in or a serious daily dose of valiums for myself, hmmm or them.. How do I stay sane? I have a whole new respect for single parents. I do not spank because I wouldn't let anyone spank my child besides me or my wife w/out anger, and I'm sure his father feels the same, so I'm not the disciplinarian. I feel like the biggest wuss saying wait till your mother gets home. lol. It took about 2 hrs writing this off and on while making sure no one's eating paint chips. I NEED HELP. Calgon take me away, far far away.Don't get me wrong. I discipline him, just not physically even though there are times when I feel a swat on the butt is the most appropriate measure to take. It's just a matter of treating others as I would want to be treated. I wouldn't want anyone taking it upon themselves to physically punish my daughter. I'd be furious. So it's just showing her ex-husband respect, it's not that I feel I don't have the right. more

Resolved Question: I need help getting my life back on track?

I have been in a relationship for 15 years. We were married 3 years ago. I never get anything for birthdays, not even hugs or kisses on our anniversary. To make a long story short. I am a Christmas Eve baby. My mom, father sister and 4 brothers are all deceased, so I am alone except for my 1 daughter and a son who both are grown, and my husband. Christmas Eve he likes to spend with his family, and this is fine with me because I am busy playing Santa Claus, shopping, cooking etc. So I never kick up when he stays late because I know that by the time I stop cooking or being with my Grand children, it will be an all nighter. My husband and I always plan to start celebrating my birthday on Christmas night. We plan to be out of town for a couple of days. However, this year, something went wrong. He was with his people as usual. Let me add, my husband is a big drinker, and he can not handle it. Usually, I wind up being the target of his druken stupors. He use to hit me, but after several bouts with the law, it is now verbal, stalking and threats. Anyway, I spent the night by my daughter's telling him where I was and he knows the phone number, and has my cell. He calls me Christmas morning calling me bitches, never saying Merry Christmas or anything. Before hanging the phone up, he told me to suck his private parts (bitch) and slammed the phone down. He called back and called me and my grandchildren a bunch of M.F. and this continued for 3 days. I took my children and went on the vacation that him and I was suppose to take He called to threaten me saying he was coming where I was and have my car towed away and me and my children could walk back. This is a 3 hour drive, so to walk is impossible. He called the hotel at 6:00 a.m. until 11:00. They had to change my room. He made my birthday and Christmas day a living hell. To top it off, he is on disability and I work. He left me in a house with nothing. While I was at my daughters, he took the bed, kitchen set, everything. I am sleeping on the floor and he went to Georgia with his people that came up for the holidays. He got a lump sum that Child Support owed him in back pay where they had put a Levy on his account in error. So he left me high and dry, no where to live, no money in the bank, no food, and I am here alone sleeping on the floor. This just happened. Now he is calling me every five minutes (sober of course) he made a mistake, and he is sorry and his heart is hurting. I am so hurt by this. I want to start my life over, without him of course. I've hurt long enough. Everytime I ask for groups where I live to try to deal with verbal abuse and depression, they have nothing for me. Now I am not only dealing with my mom and dad, being deceased at Christmas, but being alone for the entire Christmas holiday and not even getting a card from him for my birthday or Chirstmas, and in this empty apartment sleeping on the floor, a lot of thoughts have crossed my mind and they are not good. He even took the pots and pans so I can't cook. He took the kitchen set so I can't even sit down. I only have the chair at my computer. I waited so long for this holiday for us to be together and take our vacation. And then this happend for no reason at all. Please feel free to respond because I really need someone to talk to. Is there any help for someone like me? more

(She thinks it's slippery for the dog) what do u think? I already planned out stuff. eg. Food and water bowl, sleeping area and potty area. My parents always says that the dog I want is expensive and grooming and the vet yada yada yada. Does anyone think I should get one or not? Best answer wins 10 points!

Resolved Question: How do you stop being a push-over and learn to tell people "No!" ?

Here's my story: Several times before, my husband's mother asked if we could babysit my husband's half sisters (ages 8 and 10) because she made plans to gamble, go on vacation, or go out of town for the night and a few times she had to work. We were babysitting bi-weekly (twice a month) and it became too much stress for me to handle ontop of having a house to maintain and a newborn baby. The last bi-weekly sleepover/ babysit was when my husband's sister urinated all over our $850 new couch. Now they still sleepover and are babysat, but less frequently. They sleep on the floor. Yesterday my husband had a funeral of a family member to attend. He stopped by his mom's house to drop of his sister's from the funeral and magically she had plans to stay the night in a haunted hotel with her boyfriend, and her other daughter, who usually babysits the 8 and 10 year old, had plans. How convenient she must have thought, because my husband was at her house and she put him on the spot to babysit. He called me and the first thing I said was, "Well, they have to bring blankets.. I threw ours out, they got moldy." And I didn't even realize I told him in other words, yes. I called him back right away and asked if he already told them yes, and he did. I realize now that I am just so used to pleasing everyone except myself that I never tell anyone no. I'm sleep deprived, receive no help with cleaning up after them when we babysit, and in general, am not enjoying life living like this. My husband always says, "This will be the last time we watch them." But his mother plans for him to be at her house at the right time so he's suckered into taking his sisters home for the night. We live 35 minutes away and she gives him money for the gas, and a few dollars to babysit, but this time I demanded she give us $50 since it was no notice, and I was cranky. Who knows if she'll even pay us, she said she gets paid Fridays, well I guess she spent her money from this week in one day, because she couldn't cough up more than $20. How can I stop being a damn push over?My husband told his mother that I would probably say No to babysitting, so that could have been a warning to her. I don't get along with her, and I was about to call her and explain that I do not have the energy to watch her kids. They are misbehaved and cannot be trusted. She also raised them to be slobs, they always smell horrible when they're at my house. It's not fun!My husband told his mom that he had to give an estimate for work this morning and that I would have to watch them for a few hours, that being the reason he called and asked. He tells her all the details of his life and I told him , "Can't you just say we're busy and have plans we forgot about?" Yeah we sit at home a lot of the time and do nothing, but it sure beats watching children and driving around like their personal escorts.My mother in law has never made herself available to watch our daughter. She won't even spend some time visiting her granddaughter. It's all about her receiving favors from us. She's so greedy and if it weren't for the $100 she gives us at Christmas and the $20-$40 she gives us to babysit, I would probably tell my husband to tell her to get lost. She failed as a parent for my husband (I see so many things that he is f'd up from being raised like an orphan) and I'm not willing to let this woman interfere with how I raise my daughter. more

Resolved Question: My step-children have been out of control, what do I do?

This is going to be a long one!! I will be as short as possible! I have been with my boyfriend for about 71/2 years. I have a 2 step kids, a Girl who is 7 and a Boy who is 9. The history is complicated but, we got together about 4 months before his daughter was born. We also have a child together that is a 4 y.o. girl. The kids have always been a big part of our lives. We have joint custody, they spend EVERY weekend, holiday and all school vacations, they also spend 1 whole month durring the summer with us. Life was pretty good the first 4 years, but durring the past 2-3 years they have slowly been going down hill. The past year has been the worst! It started with them not listening, talking back, then ignoring me, then the sneakyness and lies started. They lie about everything, they tell more lies than truths. Then the stealing started, they steal from stores so I have refused to take them anywhere, then they stole money from my purse and tried to take all the piggy bank money(about 85$)to their mothers house. I found it in thier jackets. This has started MANY problems between me and my boyfriend. He says, "they are just being kids...you are being too hard on them!" he refuses to accept the truth! It is the main thing we fight about. The girl started on medication for ADD, I don't see any difference. When I am alone with them they turn into little devils when Dad comes back they act like angels in front of him. They have been causing so much trouble at school the boy is in the principal's office every day, for fighting on the bus, swearing, pulling boys pants down, and sexual harrasment on the girls, just to name a few. The girl,7, has been spoken to by the bus driver for sitting with the 6th graders instead of in the 2nd grade seats. When she was confronted about what they talk about she said they talk about boys, sex, drugs, and drinking, also they make plans of what boys they will go to third base with, etc.etc. this is just the tip of the iceberg. When I thought it could not get any worse, it did,.......... At their mothers house, they set their bed room on fire. They stole a lighter, piled up paper on the floor and started lighting it on fire piece by piece. After about 15 min of this the smoke detector went off and the mother ran in to see flames up to their knees, they both have small 2nd degree burns on their legs, not too serious. Their mother put the fire out before it got out of hand. I am afraid that next time it will be worse and it might happen when they are with ME! I have suggested they go to see a therapist or child psychologist, but their dad keep saying my kids don't need professional help they are just kids!! I'm sorry but they are NOT JUST KIDS!!! I don't want my daughter to end up like them. I cry because I don't even feel like a family any more, I dread seeing them, and don't want them in my home. But I love my boyfriend, and I want my family. What do I do? I want to give up! If you are still reading,THANK YOU!! Thanks for sticking it through! This is probably the longest question ever!! more

Resolved Question: why i was happy to have fun even by myself before but feel lonely now?

I join an escort tour to Sydney for 5 days. I go by myself. I was so happy that I can take a vacation. I was very excited the first three days. I ask for free time without being with the group for 2 days. And the first day I was so happy walking around Sydney. But then at that night I met a guy from match.com. We had a drink. He proposed to drive me to hotel, I said no because he is a stranger to me. He proposed to show me around the beach side and other parts of Sydney, not just city center the next day. I said I have other plan since I only have one day left and I want to explore and get to know the city. But the next day I took the train to the city center. I look at a girl who sits on the tourist bus Sydney Explorer ALONE. and i feel sorry for her. it seems she looks lonely - maybe just my personal opinion. Then I can't decide should I take Sydney Explorer or Bondi Explorer. Finally I did not take any. Then I walk around city as I previously planned. But I couldn't decide which lunch to get. And then I sit in the museum cafe looking at Sydney opera house and all of a sudden I bursted out crying. I thought I would be very happy. This is what I wanted. Have afernoon tea. Look at beautiful opera house sitting next to harbour. This is what I wanted. Why am I crying? I missed this person and I wanted to call him. But I don't have cell phone and I don't feel like using pay phone. Also I thought he probably made other plan. I put myself together, continue to another 35 floor luxury hotel cafe lounge and have a cocktail and look at the opera house from another perspective. I wasn't crying again but I wasn't that happy as I thought I would. If I haven't met this person, maybe I wouldn't miss him and wouldn't cry. But he is a stranger to me. I don't even trust him to take me to hotel. Maybe I have been single for so many years and then all of a sudden feel lonely after first date? I then had a plan to spend a summer vacation in Los Angeles. But I was afraid I would be missing him so much that I won't be happy in Los Angeles. So I decide just to stay home. But now I am evey afraid I wouldn't be happy even I go to Southern France which I have been wanted to go. It is perfectly ok that I don't see this person again. It is not like I am obsessed with him. I later find that he wrote me an email the next morning and ask me to call him if I changed my mind and decided to go out with him. But that was after I left Sydney. But when I call him, he seems not interested in continue the relationship. Maybe he is not interested in talking to someone who is not in Sydney. Maybe he is dating dozens of other women he met in match.com, so I don't want to think too much about this or think of any possibility with him. But I don't understand, I alwasy enjoy alone time, traveling alone, and feel luch that I have financial resources to travel. I am still trying to save money and it is not like I am a millionnaire. Travel expenses are a lot of money for me. I am supposed to be happy when I travel. Why now I started to think being alone is an issue? alone was not an issue and i used to enjoy myself before. why it is different now? could it be just it is time i should have someone? more

But now I am even afraid I wouldn't be happy even I go to Southern France for a short vacation which I have been wanted to go. so now it has been several months i left Sydney and I haven't moved on to other vacation spots. It is perfectly ok that I don't see this person again. It is not like I am obsessed with him. I later find that he wrote me an email the next morning and asked me to call him if I changed my mind and decided to go out with him. But that was after I left Sydney. But when I called him after I returned home, he seems not interested in continue the relationship, although he is polite on phone. Maybe he is not interested in talking to someone who is not in Sydney. Maybe he is dating dozens of other women he met in match.com, so I don't want to think too much about this or think of any possibility with him. But I don't understand, I alwasy enjoy alone time, traveling alone, and feel luch that I have financial resources to travel. I am still trying to save money and it is not like I am a millionnaire. Travel expenses are a lot of money for me. I am supposed to be happy when I travel. Why now I started to think being alone in travel is an issue? alone was not an issue and i used to enjoy myself before. why it is different now? could it be just it is time i should have someone? more

Resolved Question: Deciding to euthanize and aggressive dog?

A few months ago, I pulled an Australian Shepherd mix (Caleb) from a rural shelter in Georgia. A huge amount of effort was placed into even getting the dog here (I am in New England). He arrived emaciated, covered in ticks, and infected with heartworm. After a fundraiser and three months later, he is heartworm free, tick free, and gaining weight. He is set to be neutered on Tuesday (so please keep in mind that this dog is unneutered at the present moment). At first, I noticed little quirks with his behavior. The first time I tried to bathe him, he snapped at me. I quickly corrected him. He didn't snap at me for three months- not so much as a growl. For others, however, it is a different story. It started with just growling. He would shy away and growl when someone tried to pet him. But he would go to people- he even climbed in my father's lap several times. The growling quickly turned into snapping after his heartworm treatment was complete. At the vet, he tried to bite anyone who touched him- I had to hold him for the last part of his treatment. Once he began to feel better physically, his behavior detoriated rapidly. He would growl and snap at anyone who entered a room with me in it. He has bitten a few people- but never hard enough to even break the skin. Up until today, his only exception has been me. For the past week, I was on vacation, and had to kennel Caleb. The kennel staff reported that he tried to bite several people while in their care (this doesn't surprise me). Caleb came home two days ago. Yesterday, I brought home another unneutered male- a mini Aussie. Caleb (the first dog) did what he usually does upon meeting new dogs. He growling, lunged, showed teeth. I corrected him (once having to actually physically hold him back by his scruff because he was going for the new dog). After he got over the initial reaction of there being a new dog in the house, he simply got used to the idea and followed the second dog (Pyg) around the house. Today, while I was petting Pyg, Caleb lunged at him. There was a quick fight during which Pyg backed off and Caleb kept advancing. I promptly separated the two of them, and muzzled Caleb (which he usually doesn't mind too much). I was out when this occured so I had to drive back home with both of them in the same car (uncrated, bad idea, eh?). As we're driving, Caleb is still muzzled. He crawled into my lap, and put his face next to mine- something he routinely does. This time, however, he growling and lunged at my face so hard that the force of his muzzle hitting my face actually hurt. He was fine with me afterward. Many hours later (about twenty minutes ago), Caleb was laying on the floor in the belly up position. He does this when I want him to go in his crate, and I usually pick him up to get him in, but given today's events, I didn't want to push my luck. Instead, I tried to coax him into his crate. When that didn't work, I leaned down to pat his belly and he lunged at my arm. He seemed to realize halfway through his attack that he was attacking mom, becasue I felt his teeth on my arm, then he backed off, nipped my finger, sniffed, then backed away again. Up until today, I was determined to fix this problem of his, determined to see if there was anything I could do. I thought he would never go after me- but now I realize that you can never say never with dogs. He has not done any serious damage yet, but I feel like it is only a matter of time. Should I stick with my plan of seeing a behaviorist, or does it sound like this dog is too far gone? I'm going to think this over for a few days and see if his behavior improves, but it is getting to the point where I am anxious about petting him. It is very important for me to mention that this is not a dog I intended to keep. He is a foster dog, and I was planning on adopting him out once his problems all seemed to be settled. But now I realize I could never give anyone this dog. He is not trustworthy, and I don't know if he could ever be trustworthy. Some opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you guys. I think I already knew that euthanizing him is what I needed to do, so I really appreciate the honesty. more

Resolved Question: I arrived to be a nanny and the house is disgusting, what do I do?

I put a resume on a nanny website, a family called me and wanted to to do an application. I did and we talked for a long time. They seemed nice. By the next morning they had booked me a flight to Italy on vacation with them. I hadn't even really said yes. So eventually after talking to them a lot I did agree. Before I left they had changed the flight to Mexico and didn't tell me vacation plans had changed. They paid for me to get my passport and sent me travel money. Now that I am here their house is a horrible nasty mess (dog feces and urine on the floor, garbage not in can, garbage and clutter everywhere) and cleaning was not a part of the job (light vacuuming and some laundry were described). I am here and the family is great, but I can't live in this kind of mess. But they have invested so much in getting me here, flights, passport, new furniture, paint, and all, but is it really proper for them to invite a nanny to live and work with them in this kind of place without some kind of fair warning? PLEASE HELP! more

Resolved Question: I need advise ASAP! Please help!?

I guess I should give everyone a little background on myself. I am the oldest of 7 children. 4 of which still live at home. I am happily married to my husband of 6 years. I am a nurse of 8 years( I don't particularly care for my career, but it pays the bills). I don't smoke or drink, never been a "party" time, and have always been known as the "good child". Here is my question. I grew up in a home where mom and dad worked their butts off, but we didn't always have everything we wanted, but we always had the essentials. My parents were very strict in my upbringing. I was always in the position were I felt I needed to take care of things. So even now, that I am 25, live on my own, and have my "own"(lol) life, I just can't get that idea out of my head. My youngest siblings are 8 and 9, I do everything for them. I'm not over reacting. I buy school clothes, school supplies, plan and carry out birthdays, go to doctor's appointments, school and IEP appointments, take them shopping and basically everywhere with me, I also take them on vacation with me and my husband. I love them to death and I don't want them to do without. I also help my parents if they need anything. Now here comes my real problem. My 18 year old brother started collage and him and his girlfriend could no longer afford their apartment. So being "me" as my husband says. I allowed them to move in and added them to my lease. They came into my house under the conditions that they do not have any children, they pay half the rent, they help keep the house clean. Everything was great until after the lease was signed. They are 18 and 19, they some how got alcohol and brought it into my house, everything they touch ends up in the floor, they bring people over at all hours, destroy my house, and then don't bother to clean up the mess. They use my and my husband personal items. I am at my wits ends. My brother use to be this sweet little kid who cared about his family and his future, now all he does is drink, party, and curse me out every time there is a opening. He really loves the F word. I have been confined to my bedroom for the last 2 weeks, due to the fact that the rest of my house looks like a tornado went through it. Now to make things worse they are announcing that they are getting married, and she wants to get pregnant as soon as she can. The reason this bother's me is because I can't have children and she knows this. I know that I should be beyond jealousy, but it hurts a lot!! WHAT CAN I DO???? IS IT MY FAULT??? HOW CAN I GET THEM OUT???? My brother stated that if we move he will take me to court and sue me for my half of the rent. HELP!!!!!! more

Resolved Question: Have you heard how the Dem's took a 5 week vacation and left the Rep's standing in the dark?

Speaker Pelosi Turns The Lights Off On Energy Debate With gas prices hovering around $4, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved into action this week. But rather than address energy issues, leadership in the House put forward a motion to adjourn the House until September without debating on or voting on America’s current energy crisis. I voted against this adjournment resolution, but unfortunately the vote passed 213-212. So Friday morning, when the House adjourned, several members of Congress stayed on the floor, hoping to give speeches to the American people about the fact that leadership in this Congress packed its bags and headed off for a five week vacation. Before we could begin speaking, Speaker Pelosi had the lights turned off in the House chamber and forced CSPAN to turn off its cameras. I and many of my colleagues stayed down on the House floor, giving speeches in the dark calling for a vote on increasing energy production. It is unconscionable that Speaker Pelosi would choose vacation over having a debate on energy policy, especially when there are signs that members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, are coming together to work on real energy solutions. On Wednesday, a bi-partisan group of legislators unveiled a new energy plan that would lift most restrictions on offshore drilling and encourage the development of alternative energy sources. This is a strong attempt to break through partisanship and work on a comprehensive energy plan. Yet, Speaker Pelosi and other leaders in Congress are unwilling to stick around. I believe President Bush should call a special session of Congress and force Speaker Pelosi to address gas prices. According to Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, the President has the power “on extraordinary occasions” to convene the Congress. High gas prices demand action, and right now the American people are being let down by Congressional leadership. We need to put all energy options on the table. More drilling, more alternatives, more conservation…this Congress needs to get serious and work on a comprehensive plan that includes all of the above and ends our dependence on Middle East oil. Over the next few weeks, I will be carrying five gallon gasoline cans around south-central Michigan to collect gas receipts from my constituents to send to Speaker Pelosi. You can also submit a personal note to the Speaker for me to deliver. You can mail your gas receipts to my Jackson Office at 800 West Ganson Street; Jackson, MI 49202, and I will make sure they are delivered to the Speaker to demonstrate the cost of the inaction of Congress. This was sent to me in an email, yet doesn't seem to be news. http://walberg.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=96796John Boehner R-Ohio http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0808/House_Dems_turn_out_out_the_light_but_GOP_keep_talking.html?showall more

Resolved Question: Sent this to my ex....response was a text of :)?

We met when you were 22 and I was 42. Yes we had a 20 year age gap but at the time it felt like it was meant to be. I know our age difference really doesn't matter. People are people and if their feelings are sincere the age gap is meaningless. We were in a relationship for 9.5 years. At the end you made more money then me but not at the time we met. You did support me in a way but I supported you in a different way. But I carried my own weight. I did sometimes wonder if my making less then you was part of the reason you ended it, you did tell me that it was not the reason. I did believe and you did say you got emotionally involved with ...... when you met a few years ago. So maybe some kind of feelings did developed between you two. You have told me many times that ..... was jealous of our relationship. I have always thought that something was going on, that you were more then friends. You were on the phone with ..... every night and even when we went on vacation. You always said that you two were like girlfriends. You were drinking and partying buddies that's all. The night I did see you kissing him floored me. But that was not the first sign that something was going on. I went up and pushed you and said "what the fuck was that?" You really did not answer, you were kind of shocked. And you went and spent the night with ..... After much emotional discussion the next morning after you came home, we were kind of ok. You went to the wedding and stayed over night at the hotel. The next night we talked and that is when you told me you had sex with .... I always just felt something was going on with you two. You always said I was just being paranoid. It seems strange that when you told me you had sex with with ..... a weight was lifted off my shoulders and that I wasn't just imagining it. I was hurt but not surprised. In fact, I respected you even more for being so open with me. And I was ok with all that. I was not crazy about ..... at first, but in the last year or so that had been changing. In fact I would ask you to ask ..... if he wanted to go along with us when we did things. I was dealing really well with the fact that you were best friends. As for you having sex, that was something me and you would of had to deal with. You did always tell me you liked the fact you could go partying and hang with ..... and your buddies and come home to the stability of our relationship. And I was cool with that ....., I really was. We even discussed that a week or two before this all came down. But it did bother me that you were drinking and driving as I have told you many times. It still does - I hope you have stopped doing this. A few days before our break up we sat down and talked about our money situation and about fixing our home one thing at a time. It was exciting. You were excited. We talked about going to Hawaii for our tenth anniversary and having ..... look in on the house while we had the kitchen done. The day before you ended it we were looking at cars for you since mine finally broke down and that I would take your car. That was always the plan. But that did not happen you could not do that. So you leased a car for me in your name. I could see you were excited about driving it to the club that night with your friends and I was excited for you and happy for you because you really liked the car. You thought it was a great deal. And I was and still am very appreciative, thankful and grateful. When you came home that morning I was floored. You had been out drinking. You said you could not do this anymore. You needed to find out what you want and that our relationship is going nowhere. I couldn't help thinking from where the hell did that come from ...... It may be that you had more feelings for ..... even you may not have been aware of. There was one night that I asked you if ..... made you choose and that he won and I lost. And you said "Why are you's thinking I am a prize"? ..... to me you are a prize. You do have money and status but you do not show it. In fact you are a very humble man ...... Who you are, is and was more important to me then your money and status. ..... maybe someday we will be together, but as of now it is not to be. We have been through a lot together ...... I was there for you by your side without even a thought as you were there for me. It's just who we are. more

Resolved Question: Continuation of Today's young woman?

"I said goodbye to my mother." She's leaving tomorrow. The movers came this past Thursday and got most of her furniture. She's loading up her 5 cats and driving 850 miles tomorrow back home. She called me today and asked me to come by and say goodbye. I went because she was actually sad and contrite sounding. This visit was one of the most bizarre things that she's done. She talked a stream of conciousness type monolog at me for around 30 minutes, about moving, the cats, the mounds of trash still left in the house here, etc... never looking at me - just at the floor or glancing up at me and looking away quickly. I offered to take her out to dinner. It was awkward, but not awful. I told her about my promotion, my raise, my recent vacation, and other achievements that have occurred in the last year, and things I was doing with friends (plays, concerts) that I had not discussed with her - because I wanted her to know that I was doing very well - without her advice or critiques. I brought her to my house for a few minutes after dinner to show her our new furniture and other things we'd done around the place. She was shocked - and I wanted her to be. I took her home, and offered to help load some of the heavier things into her car so she wouldn't have to tomorrow morning. I am going to be going by and checking on the place and taking in her houseplants that she couldn't take with her. I don't mind doing this, and she is planning on returning in August to clean out the rest of the house and get it ready for sale. The house is a pigsty. The majority of the furniture is gone, but mounds of papers, trash and such still are in every room. The 2-car garage is still filled waist high or better with stuff. Closets weren't cleaned out - the fridge and freezer still have food in them. Her pantry is stocked to feed a family for a month. She forgot to set up a lawn service - and will probably be impossible for her to do from that distance. She had to ask me how to use a light timer that plugs into a lamp to turn on and off so it looks as if someone is home. more

Resolved Question: yall want more jokes?

E-Mail from the Afterlife An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida, his wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email, unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address, he did his best to type it from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint, at the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen..... DEAREST WIFE... JUST GOT CHECKED IN... EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW... P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE. Fix the Sidewalks There's this old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, "if I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'll quit!" Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had "fallen". This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age. About a week after the new priest arrived, he visited the Mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. The priest said, "you have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen." The Mayor started to laugh, realizing that no-one had told the new priest about the code word. Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, "I don't know what you're laughing about, your own wife fell three times this week." Three Mens Valuables Three men are in a car which is about to crash. They all decided to throw out one valuable item. The first person throws out a rock. The second throws out a pen. The third throws out a grenade. Their car crashes and they survive the crash. Then, they all start walking back to get their valuable items. The first man sees a little girl crying and asks her, "Little girl, why are you crying?" The little girl replies, "Someone threw a rock at me!" The second guy sees a little boy crying and asks him, "Little boy, why are you crying?" The little boy replies, "Someone threw a pen at me and poked me in the eye!" The third guy sees a fat kid laughing really hard and so he asks him, "Hey kid, why are you laughing so hard?" The fat kid replies, "I farted and my house blew up." Dog, Monkey and Leopard Due to his owner's negligence, a dog became lost in the deepest jungles of Africa. Wandering around, the poor dog notices a leopard hading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. Just then, the dog noticed some bones laying on the ground close by. The dog immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching leopard. Just as the jungle cat is about to leap, the dog loudly says, "My, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the leopard slinks away. "That was too close," thought the leopard, "that dog nearly had me." Meanwhile, a mischevious monkey had observed the entire scene, and decided to cause trouble for the dog, while getting on the good side of the leopard as well. The monkey dashed off after the leopard, to tell him what truly happened. The dog saw the monkey dash off, and suspiciously tailed him from behind. He overhears the monkey spilling the beans, and quickly decides on a course of action, racing back to the pile of bones. At the same time, the leopard has decided to take care of the dog once and for all. The monkey hops on the leopard's back, to watch the demise of the doomed dog. As the leopard approaches, he can hear the dog talking to himself: "Where's that lazy monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago for another leopard, and he's still not back!" New Teacher A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!" After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?" "No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!" Man asks the Nurse A man is lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his mouth. A beautiful young nurse arrives to sponge his hands and feet. "Nurse," he mumbles from behind the oxygen mask, "are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don’t know, I’m only here to wash your hands and feet." Struggling, he again asks the nurse, "Are my testicles black?" Finally, she raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand, holds his testicles in the other, takes a close look, and says, "There’s nothing wrong with them!" The man pulls off his oxygen mask and replies, "That was very nice, but, are my test results back." Bad Day There's this guy on a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half-an-hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says: "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't see a man crying." "No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police, they say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison..." New Truck One day, Jimmy Joe was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba driving a brand new pickup. Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin. "Bubba, where'd you get that truck?!?" "Bobby Sue gave it to me" Bubba replied. "She gave it to you? I knew she was kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?" "Well, Jimmy Joe, let me tell you what happened. We were driving out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowhere. Bobby Sue pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Bubba, take whatever you want'. So I took the truck!" Tired of Welfare A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says to the social worker, "Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job." The social worker behind the counter says, "Sir your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes. All your clothing will be provided. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy all her sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. Your starting salary will be $200,000 a year". The guy says, "You're bullsh*ttin' me!" The social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it." more

Resolved Question: I will be ovulating while on vacation, should we try at my grandparent's house?

My husband and I decided to start trying to conceive this month, and we are so excited to possibly get pregnant. Well, I calculated when I should be ovulating and its going to be around Thanksgiving while we are visiting my grandparents out of state. We are staying in their extra bedroom and I am embarassed to have sex in their house. My husband said we can be really discreet and have sex on the FLOOR so the bed won't make any noise. We want to have a baby ASAP so I don't want another month, but I don't know if this is okay to do. I don't plan to tell anyone we conceive on vacation so I don't have to explain myself! lol What do you think? Try to conceive while visiting grandparents for 10 days, or wait another month? more
