How would you feel if you were in my place?

I was friends with this girl. We used to share so much with each other and eventually we became roommates. Then I saw her true colors. She was so needy. Literally, there was nothing this girl could do by herself. My other roommates and I would have to wait on her all the time. From reaching things for her on the top shelf, to walking her to the laundry room. She would make me wait to do things on her schedule, make me hold her stuff when we were shopping and everything. She would cut you off to talk about herself and blatantly ignore you when you were talking to her. It became excruciating for all of us. But because I cannot say no to people, she took the most advantage of me. I eventually just got fed up and stopped doing things for her. I mean, I'm not obligated. I was her roommate, not her mom. When I stopped she started to distance herself from me, She wouldn't talk to me about anything personal anymore. She completely cut me out of her personal life. The only time she would ever talk to me is when she needed my class notes or help with her homework. I don't miss her or anything, at all. She was a pain in the ***, and I'm honestly better off without her. We don't even speak anymore. But at the same time, I can't help but feel hurt. To this day, she leaves me out of plans she makes with my friends and she treats me like I did something to harm her. She's been ignoring me and I feel like she doesn't have the right to be mad at me. The worst part is that she's still close with my friends and I'm afraid I'll have to face her in the future. If it were you, how would you act towards her now? Also, do you think that I am also being selfish? Please, any constructive help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help rearranging my schedule?

I may have just been hired at Jewel Osco and I don't want to make it seem like I don't care about work because I do, but I have plans this Saturday I've had for a week now. My parents are still trying to argue with me that I need to work and I would of course be grateful that I got a job but these plans are important to me (this job is actually part time). The hiring manager mentioned orientation but she didn't actually tell me that I'm hired, just that I have to call her in the middle of the week. What can I do to make both plans work? 10 points best answer. Thanks.

I think my husband(her father) sexually abused my daughter...?

If this is genuine, which I find hard to believe, then I wonder why you were so unconcerned when your small daughter had bruises on her nipples and genitals. Why weren't you worried when your 3 year old daughter with bruised genitals started to hate her dad? Why your tiny daughter knew sexual things long before she reached puberty. It beggars belief, actually. In any case, it's your responsibility to tackle this, however late you are in realising it. Phone child services anonymously from outside your home, if you must. They have to investigate any allegation, so will ask questions without bias.

I don't know how to start dating?

I actually met a 20 year old virgin and he had the same problems you had, low self esteem for years and then when he was finally ready to date he realized he knew nothing about women. I found his innocence refreshing and sweet. I didn't have to teach him anything we just talked like 2 normal people and got to know each other. If you meet a girl don't tell her about why you've been single and inexperienced for so long it'll just make her pity you and not date you. Find something positive to say about yourself to a girl. Good luck.

Los Angeles Lakers should select Malcolm Lee?

This dude is a combo guard, but nowadays what PG isn't? I think Lee would strive in Brown's defensive system, and playing alongside one of the greatest to ever play the game won't hurt either.

Can painting classes in high school be useful in architecture?

Hello, I am going into high school this coming september and attending a very high class art program. In the art program we spend the first term experimenting with all types of art materials but since I have quite a lot of experience with art already, I am aiming towards either painting or drawing once the term is over as we must choose one to focus on. I am striving towards architecture and I will even be taking architectural design classes in high school but I was wondering that if I want to be an architect, must I pick drawing as my focus or can I take painting? I love both, but there are more opportunities with painting project wise. Will the skills I learn in painting help me in architecture? Or do I HAVE to go with drawing? I have done some reading and I have come across that art classes for architecture is more of keeping a visual and creative mind. Are both choices equal? Please help!

Do African American men get offended when labeled as "black males"?

I ask because I notice in Brooklyn where I live, it seems whenever I hear the phrase "black male" or "black males" it is often being used in a somewhat negative connotation. For example, if I hear about a high school dropout rate, police description or unemployment problem, it seems the term "black males" is used when describing the African American men who are being talked about. On the contrary, if hearing about something good done like an African American man with a good job, who is well educated, or who is a respected person, I hear African American men referred to in a way like "educated african american" or "well off black guy" but I never hear any positive descriptions with the words "black male" being used. Anyway, its just something I noticed, whenever I hear African American men referred to as "black males" it always seems to be with a negative attribute so thats why I wonder if they take offense to being called it.

My 14 year old daughter likes her 23 yr old brother best....?

She mostly only talks to him and follows him around.She has always done this and favored him more than anyone..more than her older sisters and when I had her baby brother,she didn't even care about that.She has always been uncomfortable around my husband and in a way avoided him.She never really talks to me just to talk..she only talks when I ask a question.She talks to my son all the time.He's a dropout and still lives with us.She follows him everywhere,when she's not doing that,she's alone.I ask her if she ever wants any of her friends to come over she says "No" and that she hates them.She says she hates everyone but her brother.She only hugs him goodnight and only tells him she loves him.One of my friends says it's incest (I don't think it is.).I asked my nieces to talk to her,but they tried to make her hate him and said alot of things they shouldn't have.What to do?

Please help me - roommate issue over guest visiting?

I have had this same issue come up living with roommates. I am a social person but I feel that your home is your home and there is where you should be comfortable and be able to have you time. Something about having overnight visitors just rubs me the wrong way. I don't think you were over reacting at all. You even tried to compromise with your roommate. Sounds like maybe next time get a 1 bedroom or studio and live on your own... With roommates there is always something!!

I am completely lost...?

So im in grade 10 doing work experience this summer and i applied to footlocker. I've called and stuff and so the manager asked me to drop my schedule by the store which i did. So it's been a week since and she hasn't called me or anything yet and i don't know what to do. should i call and ask if she still wants me to work experience there? I am completely lost. I have to hand in these forms and schedules of when i will be working in a few days and i still havent done an interview yet. Well, i would have finished the interview by now but on that day she had some sort of meeting to go to. i also have problems talking to people on the phone. I stutter and get really nervous and say really stupid stuff. What should i do?

How do I keep myself from getting sleepy during the day?

When I'm trying to re-establish my sleep/wake schedule, I do anything that will keep me out of bed. For example, even if I'm really sleepy, I can still play computer games and eat. I know, not particularly productive, but at least I stay out of bed. I let myself do whatever I want for a few days, as long as I don't crawl back into bed. I find that after a few days, my brain gets used to the idea that I am going to be awake between so-and-so hours. It does actually work!! All the best!!

14mm axle, 10mm drop outs?

Should I expect my husband to be more supportive?

My husband and I are having our second child soon. He is working and I am in law school. I have changed my schedule so that I will only be in class two days a week so I can take care of the new baby. I am planning to hire a nanny for the two days a week I will be in school. He has suggested that I take time off from school to be a full time mom instead. I asked him to talk to his employer about taking time off when the baby is born to help and his response was that he didn't want to. His job is flexible but he does not want to ask his employer about any options for time off. I feel like he expects me to make all the changes in my life to accommodate our growing family but doesn't want to change anything in his life. Should I be able to expect more support?

How are schools like in the United States?

Can someone please give me some feedback on my poem?

It's good, but take the capital letters out of the middle of the verses (at the beginning is fine) and split it into stanzas.

Can someone please give me some feedback on my poem?

The rhyming is all wacky and it's very dull in imagery .Maybe you are trying too hard to write a poem for the sake of writing a poem and not letting whats really inside of you flow out on it's own as a poem.I'm not sure if you understand what I'm trying to say but it's kind of like you just can't force a good poem, but we can get excited when we start to write and try too hard .The good poems always seem to just come out of no where and sometimes I can't even believe I've written them.Just keep writing and don't spend too much time trying to fix old poems just write new ones .It's something you need to do all the time . Keep writing. ..............Or don't

Is weed bad? honest answer please?

It's a controlled substance so it's considered illegal. It does nothing wrong to your body. It only loosens stress. It's grown from a plant the. It's dried cut and smokes so I has no harmful substances like cigarettes do. So it's not harmful to you and it's not addictive nor is it a gateway drug just it's something you shouldn't smoke while driving and other things not bad for you at all unless you do what our government did and blow 4 hours of smoke to monkeys without and oxygen in there so you suffocated the monkeys which results in brain cells dieing. So that's why they say brain cells are killEd while smoking. But their not

I wanna talk about school dropouts...?

Most people I go to school with, or in general, don't yet know what they want to be. My smartest friend in the entire school is having anxiety attacks because she doesn't want to make $50,000 a yr. I already know what I wanna do, and if I really wanted to, I could pursue it right this minute. I honestly could care less if I'm not getting paid a ton, enough to get me by really, as long as I'm doing what I want. I'll admit, my grades have tooken on a huge dip, from being an honour roll student, because I personally don't enjoy it anymore. I've been debating about dropping out, but I have something to fall back on, not like most drop outs. Is it possible to be ready for the 'real world' without actually graduating?

I think i need a change......?

I'm not even sure if this is the right category to be writing in or what. I don't really know where else to turn. I am a 21 year old female. I have, until last semester and one a few semesters previous, been enrolled in college, although no real passion or path in what to do with my life. My major was communications/broadcast journalism, but I honestly did not have a real strive for it, and was not particularly great at broadcast journalism. My grades plummeted and I eventually was forced to enroll in community college, where I didn't do too great, I was just taking basic gen-eds. I then and still have no idea and have tried to figure out with no success a path for myself, which led to extreme laziness. I've had off and on jobs (nothing career-wise). Money went to utilities, groceries, weed (which, yes, did start a little bit of the problem, but has also helped with stress and anxiety..etc). I'm now living with my two best friends. I'm a waitress at a local restaurant in my town. I'm not enrolled in school. I just work. The same days. Every week. They don't sell alcohol. I mostly wait on old people. I bet working somewhere with a bar or something would be more fun, and I would meet some cool people. My social life is not 1/10th what it used to be. I do the same thing every day. I, like, sleep late. Wake up/get ready for work if i do that morning. One morning during the week, one or two on the weekends. The rest of my shifts start at four or five. I have the same two days off in a row a week. All the servers where I work are girls. Some of them are pretty bitchy. A few of them are cool. My best friend works there. I live with her (18) and my other best friend(21). One is in school, the one that works with me is not. I have no boy in my life at all, although I wish I had. I used to be so social. I sometimes go out, and guys do talk to me. But I'm also pretty picky. I can't help it. I don't even want a BOYFRIEND, per se. But I'm in such a slump. I'm good looking, I'm not trying to bound stuck up. I think a lot of people see me as a sl*t. No further comment on that really, I don't know. I thought about going to a REALLY good cosmetology school, but I deep, deep, deep down know it is not for me. It is the feeling I have with everything career-wise. Absolutely nothing feels right and I feel like I would have known it by now.. ? Maybe I should take some career aptitude test or something? That seems so easy. My life is boring. I wish something or someone could make it interesting for me again. I feel at times it's miserable. Am I going to be staying in a shitty apartment waiting tables the same day every week alone for my entire life? My parents live four hours away from me, now. But we love each other very much. They greatly express how much they love and miss me. I don't think they know how much I love and miss them. They moved away after we moved to the town we were in and I was in school, living with two of my friends, 18, and happy. SO i stayed behind. Which was totally okay at the time. I was, and maybe still am, okay on my own. I eventually had a boyfriend who I saw as perfect. We dated for a year and a half. We were in love. He later moved to Dallas after he graduated college. I don't know what to make of that. I honestly do not know if it has anything to do with anything (I don't know what to call this at all, honestly.) If this were a year, maybe a little bit over, ago, I would have no problem opening up to a friend or something. Between those two times I smoked a LOT of pot, which maybe helped with some aspects, but I've researched that it temperaliry rewires the brain when habitually used. I know, not the smartest idea. I know. Everything else, I don't know. Do I moved home? I don't know who to talk to. I'm sorry if this is stupid. I just don't know what to do.

Care to Critique My Poem?

This is actually pretty good. I'm too lazy to go through and tell you what you need to fix. You're the best judge of that. The couple of parts that seem sort of iffy, just take them out and make them something better.

I Feel I Been Trapped Into Being A Father!?

Well long story short me and a girl were highly intoxicated and we had sex. Poor decision I know. And I felt very pushed into it. 2 weeks later she says shes pregnant. Not sure if thats even possible. I find out she already has 4 kids and is still married. I told her it was a poor decision for both of us and that either she should get an abortion or put it up for adoption. I am not able to financially support a child right now and can't be a good father to this child and that I want to have a kid with someone I am married 2 and raise a kid the right way and not like this. I asked her if she was on birth control and she said yes and that the day we had sex she forgot to take her pill that day so she doubled up the next day. Not a very bright girl if she is to do something like that, there is a morning after pill you could take as well. I haven't a clue who shes been with previous to me and know very little about her. Yes I know shame on me, but everyone makes mistakes. She strung me along for several months saying she was going to get an abortion but when the day came to go and do it, she wouldn't show up. She told me she understands I am not ready to be a father and that I am not financially stable for a child right now and that I will never hear from her again and if I change my mind to give her a call. Few weeks ago I got served court papers her claiming the baby is mine, I am now scheduled to take a DNA test and I pray that its not mine. She wants full custody and child support. Clearly all she want's is money, which I have very little of and my job is not looking very promising. I don't understand why she is doing this to me and why she would lead me on like she did, lie to me about being divorced, and then come after me. I am now spending thousands that I dont have on lawyer fees and DNA testing etc. I feel as if someone has just taken all my dreams in life and shattered them. I have been very depressed over this for months now, and can't believe there is people out there like this. I am afraid to hear some of the answers, but I would like your opinion on this matter, and I am sure you people will say dont have sex then, yes I know, this was very uncharatierstic of me to do, and I dont believe a child should have been conceived like this.

What to do when i find that my roommate is not a real woman,she was caught wearing fake silicon boobs .?

There is nothing shocking about it. She underwent the sex change operation on her own. Let her lead her own life. If you have control of the room you can tell her to leave or find yourself another room with a decent roommate. Maybe, you find the matter disgusting, but that is the way things are in real life. She wont be of any harm to you, but your self respect will take a beating if the matter becomes public.

How to balance school and work hours?

Okay so I start college for the first time in August, but I haven't gotten my schedule yet until I'm finished getting my transcripts and doing financial aid. I'm applying for this job that is going to be hiring in July but I don't know what hours to put on the application. Since its summer time do I just put a regular 5 or so hour time mark and then change/discuss the different times once August comes around? I don't have any experience yet so I really want this job but I'm just so confused about everything lol. I don't know what hours to put and if it will conflict with my school time =/

You are really heavy on the quotes there. Don't quote material without commenting on it in some way - that will lengthen the essay and make your work look more original and less like a festival of copying and pasting.

What did my orthodontist mean by this?

They won't usually take them off "that day", if they think your teeth are finally ready then they will usually make another appointment to have them taken off. They usually only take them off the same day if their schedule is clear, but most of the time they are busy.

Why is my mother insane about me turning 21?

I turn 21 in a couple of months. Around the same time that I go back to school and my younger sister starts college for the first time. Dinner started out just fine until my parents gave some pre college advice to my younger sister and then my mom found that as an opportunity to call me a drunk idiot. She then proceeded to question me as to how many times I had been drunk in the past year (zero by the way) and then continued to yell at me for having a social life. She told me that at school I should only be focusing on school and not going out with friends, in fact she even suggested that I get rid of my friends because they're worthless and will probably stab me in the back (take it my friends are 4.0 students like myself and striving towards different career goals). Before I even had the chance to realize what was going on, she then told me that if I take a drink of alcohol then I'm going to die because alcohol kills people. I then calmly tried to tell her that I was responsible and had never been drunk before and don't plan to (I am telling the truth). She didn't believe me and told me I was an idiot that didn't care about anything that she said and that I was going to end up dead in a ditch before 30. So I told her a little more angrily this time that I wasn't an idiot and I know the consequences. She then turns around and says that I constantly say I know everything and that I should just shut up because I don't and then she proceeded to tell me a story about a homeless person who never drank any alcohol and then went on to run his own business. Because according to her alcohol + me turning 21 = complete failure and how I will never be as good as my younger sister, of course my dad sides with her because he doesn't want to upset her. Now take it I'm a pretty smart guy in both books and common sense and I know the consequences. But what I don't understand is why my mother is so adamant about me dying when I turn 21 and why I should only focus on school and fore go a social life. Why am I never as good as my younger sister in the eyes of my mother?

so the 1st one nothing happened cause we couldnt meet. and now we scheduled a date on our anniversary. but ive no idea what i should do. should i go all out and get flowers a teddy bear and chocolates. or should i just go easy with a rose or something. im totally confused. i mean its only been 2 months so i dont think its that important. but she's head over heels in love with me so i dont wanna hurt her by doing something lame. so i think ill just get her a bracelet and a rose. but is that too much or too little. or should i do something totally different.

Boss wants to cancel my scheduled vacation?

I just had surgery on my left dominant arm. My expected time off of work will be approx. 6 weeks. Today the surgeon said I will probably be able to return to work one week before my planned 2 week vacation. I called my boss to let him know I would be returning to work for a week before my vacation. My boss said I will need to cancel and then reschedule my vacation, even though my vacation had been approved for 2 months. I wanted to tell him that I had booked hotel rooms with another family and my kids and was going out of state for those two week to see relatives who I have not seen in years. I believe that he is a bit upset because he can not go on vacation until I return. Do you think he has the power to cancel my scheduled vacation and should I call Human resources to verify his claim? Will human resources side with him or me?

Christians, is 1 Timothy 4:10 a forgery?

How does it imply that there is salvation outside of Jesus? Is it because it says "living God?" Jesus Christ IS the living God. He is the Savior of all people, but that salvation is only granted to those who believe.

If anyone can provide advice to a friendship problem?

my friend and i recently decided to end our friendship and go in different directions. we used to spend a lot of time together, we liked hanging out and had the same interests, i suppose naturally as we got older our common interests as well as our daily lives spread further apart and year by year we did less and less to the point of since last summer the only thing we did on a weekly basis was get lunch at a restaurant we never ate at before. over the years as we grew further apart, we discussed simply ending the friendship to make it easier for one another so we wouldn't have to stay aboard a sinking ship so to say but decided against it each time, basically the same reasons for not ending the friendship, our long history together(friends since 1993)growing up together and being there during personal hardships, injuries and illnesses. since about 2007 my friend has been hanging out with a group of people who i don't like at all. i gave them a year to see if there attitudes would change and if i would get more comfortable hanging around them, but i saw that this wasn't the group i wanted to be associated with. i told my friend that i don't think he should be around people like this, high school dropouts with piercing's, tattoos, smoking and drinking. they commonly hung out at a park or bowling alley(not exactly high society)my friend grew up in a troubled home and was always kind of shy and embarrassed about his life. he was never popular but these people were a couple of years younger than him so he enjoyed being liked by any group of people, i told him that this was bad judgement and if he liked me as a longtime friend and trusted my opinion, that he listen to my advice and stay away from them, as i thought they were bad news. he told me not to tell him what to do and how to live his life, it was like this for the past 3 years, i gave him multiple chances to stay away from them before i lost patience because he was ungrateful towards me and everything i had done for him over the years, helping him with stuff thru life. this is when we agreed to go our separate ways, i didn't like that he was hanging out with them, he didn't like to what he perceived as me trying to run his life. there is nobody in his immediate family i can talk to about this situation. i didn't like the person he was when we hung out the past year or two because of the bad influence these people have been on him but i also don't like it that we wont be friends anymore and wont speak. what should i do and is there a way to solve this problem from both ends? any advice is appreciated, and you are welcome to email me if you need more details and information. thanks so much.

I played electro guitar for about 3 years... I stopped playing a year ago due to a bust schedule...

i think its one of the great benefits of marrying a police officer. you dont get to see your annoying husband all the time. but at the same time he's making money so its not like hes out partying. cops wives must be a pain in the butt to live with complaining about some of the dumbest things.

My Dad punishes me all the time for little things, but he does things a lot worse! What should I do?

I'm sixteen, and am always getting punished for my attitude. Snide little comments under my breath & stuff, you know how it is. I strive for self control & I never lash out or curse, but comments like that sometime slip out, but its always very settle. One the other hand,when my Dad gets mad, he swears like an R rated movie and breaks stuff, spills coffee...that sorta thing. Yet, he's always punishing me for what I do. If I did what he did....well I'd get punished for life. The social structure of families just doesn't seem fair sometimes. He demands respect, but how can I give it to him when he acts like that?

My 14 year old daughter likes her 23 yr old brother best....?

She mostly only talks to him and follows him around.She has always done this and favored him more than anyone..more than her older sisters and when I had her baby brother,she didn't even care about that.She has always been uncomfortable around my husband and in a way avoided him.She never really talks to me just to talk..she only talks when I ask a question.She talks to my son all the time.He's a dropout and still lives with us.She follows him everywhere,when she's not doing that,she's alone.I ask her if she ever wants any of her friends to come over she says "No" and that she hates them.She says she hates everyone but her brother.She only hugs him goodnight and only tells him she loves him.One of my friends says it's incest (I don't think it is.).I asked my nieces to talk to her,but they tried to make her hate him and said alot of things they shouldn't have.What to do?

Please help me through.. career decision.. NESS TECHNOLOGIES or CSC..?

I would find 3-5 people who are currently working in the embedded software industry, and do a short information interview. This can be done on the phone or even by e-mail - all you are asking is for their story on how they got to where they are, what they feel was most important in terms of what they learned along the way. What this does is give you a clear picture of your path forward, and what experience you need to pick up along the way. Hopefully these conversations will give you enough clarity to evaluate the two positions and see which one will give you more of what you need to achieve your ultimate goal.

Am I done for because I'm not college material?

In this day and age, so-called experts claim that college is the only path to success and great careers. I believe this to be somewhat true, but I hope there are alternatives that still lead to the promised land. I noticed that many billionairies/millionaries were college-dropouts or never went there, but ofc they are exceptional people and geniuses. I never did really good in high school and wasn't motivated. If i'm not the type of person who learns in classrooms and books, what else could I do? there's still the chance I might goto community college, but yeah I'm open for alternatives. Please help!

What does the bible say about some believers remaining here on earth?

lol... huh? when Christ comes to collect His church, to snatch His pearl of great cost, there wont be any believer remaining on the earth. there will be a whole new season wherein people will take the evidence of the scripture and proof of the rapture and become the remnant God has always appointed. they will seek to help other people and this will be countered by the government, they'll ban the Bible and outlaw Jesus and kill Christians who don't confess caesar as lord. but when He comes to extract His beloved ones, not a single one of them will remain here. the rapture is a homecoming and reunion and it wouldn't be so if the whole family were not present.

I've got nothing to contribute to society. Nothing to live for?

Is there anything left for me to live for in life? I'm a college dropout who's completely broke with no job and am getting kicked out of my parents house for good because I was caught smoking pot.. I've got no friends (at all) and no one I can turn to. I've got some drug addictions (which my parents didn't know about, they only caught me smoking pot) that I don't want in my life but I feel far too addicted at this point to stop, which I will have to cold turkey since I have no money... I'm pretty sure I have schizophrenia or some (or even multiple) mental disorders since I've been seeing/hearing things that aren't there even after being off all the drugs for a few days. I just want to die, I don't see any other option really as I don't want to be some bum walking up to people on the streets and begging them for change. I doubt anyone would even care, really, because as I said I have no friends and my parents have stopped caring about me a long time ago, it's just only now that they're finally throwing me to the dogs.

How can I get my first job in the restaurant industry?

I am a 24 year old college dropout who has been working his way up the chain in the accounting field, and office environment. I've recently been laid off and was thinking about making a change to what I am really passionate about... cooking. I have no desire to go to culinary school and I was wondering if anyone will hire someone with no experience at all to work in a restaurant. I'd be fine chopping veg all day if it meant I could learn.

How do I change the schedule of what days my ads appear on Google adwords?

The instructions on Google's help page are not helpful and are not correct. There is no EDIT button next to ad scheduling. There is only a question mark that tells you about ad scheduling when you click on it and it tells you how to do it but the EDIT option is not there like it says on the help page. Google also says you can call or contact them via email but the email contact is greyed out and unable to be used and the business hours are closed. There is no 24 hour tech support. UGH!

What should I do about returned items harassment?

Are you trying to ask if the local cops will investigate if they are asked, or if the DA will seek a warrant? Of if the criminal code of your state has an applicable statute? No one here can tell you. Or maybe you are asking someone to pedict the results of the investigation? Same answer.

I need a little guidance in my life?

I'm 18 and very soon to be 19. My whole life I've lived in fantasies. I've spent time pretending to be a high school basketball star, a star athlete, a genius writer. The list goes on. I've always strived to impress, or rather make a strong impression on a group of people who are either ignorant or doubtful of my latent talent. With highschool done, I have no immediate group of peers left to make a strong impression on. Because I'm so slow I can't keep a fast paced job and I lost my only well suited job at a call centre due to my own stupid negligence (lesson learned). I'm slowly watching myself become less of a "child with potential" and growing into a grown man who lives with his parents, has no job or drivers license. I failed my first semester of University and I'm really skeptical that I will do well. For the past few years, I've been stuck in a guitar playing fantasy. It started in high school when I was 15 I received a guitar. I immediately started fantasizing about impressing my high school peers. I became fixated on it, and I deluded myself into thinking that I would "win" and the credits would roll. I would have a "Yo Adrian, I did it!" moment. I'm still stuck in that fantasy, and I'm begin to test the patience of not only my parents and those around me, but myself. I'm self aware enough to know that I probably won't have enough success as a musician to support myself financially. This dream/fantasy, the guitar one I mean, is different. I'm playing shows, and getting infront of audience. However I can't help but feeling like a archetypical loser. I mean, no job, failing university student with some deluded rockstar dream? The crazy part is, I STILL fantasize. I get home from playing a show and I put on music and fantasize about impressing people. But not at a show... at a party with a group of peers who are ignorant and/or doubtful of my abilities! It's crazy, I've already made my shows known to people, and the girls who never paid attention in high school are curious about when the next show is. On the one hand, I'm the guy who's winning over club owners with my songs and lyrics and slowly becoming into the adult I want to be. On the other, I can't hold a job, I have terrible grades, and I'm on my way to being 26 years old and still living with my parents, and STILL fantasizing about showing that hot girl on the bus I can play a mean solo! I never wanted to be the loser guy who "still hasn't given up on the band", but I sadly feel I'm destined to become that. I'm not a "music is my life" kind of guy, in that I dont believe its all or nothing. But I feel like a bad american idol audition waiting to happen. I dont wanna play a show and have no one show up. Or have a friend or a parent say "just give it up". I dont wanna borrow money from an uncle to "buy a van" and "tour the world". I dont wanna be the guy at family reunions everyone feels sorry for. I don't want to be a failure at life, or a loser. But I fear I am headed down that road, anyone have any thoughts?

What do you think of my poem? (It's Dark)?

Clubbing solo in Vancouver?

Hey everyone, I'm a 19 year old guy here as of May, (sorry for the pour-outs here haha) and probably because I used to be a pretty quiet dude, I've been really interested in going out to bars and clubs lately. I've been to a few places with friends whenever they've wanted to go but lots of my friends or acquantances are still 18. And the ones that are old enough don't always have the same desire to go out. So, does anyone have any experience in clubbing solo, is it in anyway acceptable? What are some suggestions? I just want to make the most out of the summer and have some good times before the fall starts where I will really have to put a ton of focus on a hectic college schedule. I'm about average as far as looks and personallity go so should I give it a try next time I can't find anyone to come out with me?

What constitutional amendments would support a person's right to drop out of school?

The only one I can think of that would remotely support this is the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment encompasses "fundamental rights" like the right for parents to rear their children as they choose. And I guess that would include parents having the right to choose to raise uneducated children. However, I think it wouldn't pass the test because there is a compelling government interest to educate our youth and the parents rights would be superseded, unless the parents are home-schooling them or have some other valid basis to pull them out of school. Some states allow parents to pull their kids out of school to work on the family farm during harvest season for example.

I'm a guitarist, guitar is my life but I'm on a bit of a downer?

Ibanez, jackson, esp or even a custom les paul like slash's guitar all have thin necks and trust me, are far easier. I took upon alternate picking about 6 months ago. I can do it much quicker but it may be hard to incorparate it at first becuase if you can do it faster just down picking it like me, i get carried away down picking and forget to alternate pick. I can do hand of blood down picked at full speed down picked but not alternatley, not that fast but it does ache :L. Its messed up tbh just try and keep practicing.

How can I break a bike chain?

I just bought a new SRAM single speed chain from the local Trek store for my haro that I just finished restoring. I was able to break the original chain by pulling off the c-clip with a scratch awl, but the chain shattered after riding, so I had to replace it. Now this one is too long, and my scratch awl trick doesn't work, and I can't pull my axle back on my dropouts. My dremel is broken, so I can't grind down the pin, and the store is closed until noon tommorrow, but I need the bike before then. Is there any trick for breaking it?

Don't you hate when people criticize depression and the?

people that have it? Like for instance a lot of talented people drop out of school who if they didn't have depression keeping them down would be so successful and "EVERYONE WOULD LIKE THEM" right? Now the majority in my opinion with depression struggle daily and end up not succeeding because of it. Some do some don't. Is it there fault? No! and don't even try and state against this if you do not have it , because you do not know what it's like unless you do have it. It doesn't matter if you've studied , got a major in Psychology or whatever. It's a miserable feeling when the effect occurs. So if you don't have it you will never know and should thank God you do not. The effects can make you weak, exhausted, miserable,stressed etc on a daily basis. You can try to fight it but in a few days or even sooner or later it could occur again but it's how long you can keep it under control for. It's like your sometimes in a different atmosphere of sadness and you have to think hard to get out of it.. There's exercise, eating right, meditating, etc that can help relieve it ,depending on what type of mood you originally were in. The reason i am posting this is because i hate when people insult dropouts from school, or people who struggle to get up and go to work . It's not there fault how they feel they don't have the energy to do anything almost half the time.There not losers a lot of them are very nice people and try there best to just keep a positive mood so they can succeed... It's a very hard, sad process... That they say isn't treated without medication. So to the people who insult "dropouts" or people who struggle with there jobs..Before you try to assume another ignorant comment think of why that person did this or that .

Could a high school dropout with a PPL become a commercial airline pilot?

Not in America (or Europe or most other countries). There are way too many qualified commercial pilots out there who not only graduated high school (when they were supposed to) but have a four year college degree.

Do you think that religion really matters?

The main point of religion is to teach people to do the right thing.. why would it matter exactly what religion i am from as long as my values or just as good as the next..? I strive to be the definition of a Southern Gentleman.. So why is it wrong for me to not necessarily be a diehard believer in the trinity?

Why is america the most immoral country in the world?

americans have made a mockery of the institution of marriage. they kill unborn babies. they allow their young kids to have sex without marriage. they allow their kids to dropout of school. they allow their kids to drink underage. they promote racism & homosexuality. they hate people who go to church. but they claim to be good people. it is a lie.

I need help with my boyfriend's mom.?

She has always hated me, ever since we first met and she waved at me and i smiled and she thought i was rude for smiling and not waving. Well last night I was on the phone with him and she started cussing him out about me, saying I was a stupid b**** and lots of other things. She lets his exgirlfriend stay the night at his house all the time because she loves her and wants him to be with her. I make straight A's in school and therefore she calls me a stuck up snooty white wh*** (the family is black by the way, she also comments about me being white all the time), and his ex is a dropout. She told him she wants him to get her pregnant and they can live with her. Really? Instead of wanting your son to have a good life? She called the cops on him when he said he was gonna go to my house. She said I'm too ugly and preppy and I can't go over to his house anymore. Obviously you'd be thinking just break up with the guy but that's out of the question, this guy is great and perfect and never done anything wrong to me. I love him to death but I can't deal with his literally crazy mom anymore. Please help.

So basically, the mom went to America and his son misses his mom and wants to visit her.

Unfortunately, lots of things go wrong and he continues to try getting to his mom. The boy is probably like 8 years old or something so ... anyclue what movie this is?? I THOUGHT the name was "Faces of the moon" but i was wrong but im pretty sure the world MOON was in there so please help me find the movie's real title and give me some link to the summary of it.

I'm having a baby next month and his father and I aren't together. We're trying to work out a visitation schedule and I'm wondering at what point the baby will be okay to stay at his dad's without me? I'm also going to breastfeeding and plan on keeping frozen milk at his dad's

As a Capricorn, how can I learn to accept criticism?

Accept criticism as a way to improve, not that someone is saying you were wrong or did bad. Try not to take anything people say too harshly, and just think good about yourself in general. Have confidence.

Someone please help me. I am afraid, and don't know where to turn.?

Well, for starters, always be the bigger person. Don't be rude or yell at the people who are mentioned above and always say please and thank you. Maybe they'll feel sympathy for a polite old lady and decide to not force all of the money out of you at once.

How often should I visit my Godchild? Do I have to be involved in everything?

So I was asked by a second cousin to be a Godmother to her child when I was in college. I was not close with the mother so I was confused to begin with why she chose me, but I felt obligated to say yes to being the Godmother (which now, I know, I should have politely declined...but that's retrospect). So I saw the Godchild during a Holiday, then only once at the first birthday part and nothing since then (it's almost been a year since). The thing is they tried making a time to visit with the child but both our schedules didn't mesh and I'm busy most of the time and it's difficult. Is it ok to only visit on holidays and birthdays? Or is that wrong? I know I'm being partly selfish by trying to do as little as possible, but when I grew up, I didn't even know who my godparents were and I met them like once or twice and I think I got a card on my birthday, but that's it. What is proper?

Im 39weeks pregnant and having weird pains/discomforts. HELP!!?

I am currently 39 weeks pregnant with my first child and was dialated to a 3 for 2 weeksa nd then thursday they told me i was almost a 4. i was having consistent braxton hicks in my back for almost 2 weeks that ended wednesday, now as of today, my abdomen feels ilke i did a ton of sit ups, Im having weird discomfort down there that i cant explain, and ive been having what i think are contractions(basically feels like my stomach is an excercise resistant band and it is getting pulled) but they are not on a schedule. sometimes ill have one within 2 minutes of one, but then wont have another one for an hour or more. I have been nauseas all day, even when im just drinking water. My doctor thinks im stupid. he wont listen to me, wont give me direct answers, and wont listen to my concerns. ive tried to switch doctors but its to late in my pregnancy and ive been trying to switch doctors since my 28th week. Can someone give me advice on what to do with these symptons. i called the doctor and all he said is if the contractions become within 5 minutes apart to come in, but im nervous being dialted to a 4 for 5 days now. I DONT want to have this baby at home.

If there is a 2011 football season, Standings(NFC) ?

i dont think the nfc north will do that well. you said that the packers have the toughest schedule in the league. well, based on the system, the rest should have a tough time too since only 2 games are different between all the teams (minus home and away games). as for the east, i see the cowboys and eagles being tied for 11-5. in those losses early, vick started and got the win with kolb winning the game. he didnt get the start. but kolb for the most part wont be there. the cowboys have a lot of upside this season inclding new staff all around and romo of course. the redskins still have problems with the offense. maybe 9-78. the giants have a brutal last 8 games. and they have a problem playing the 2nd half. the nfc west is the nfc west, i dont agree, but i dont disagree. anything can happen. i think the nfc south is pretty accurate, i just dont see the panthers doing much better. they still have a lot more prblems than just qb. thats why i thought giving clausen the boot for newton was bad because they need help on defense and clausen was still young and developing. but who knows? last season made EVERYONE look stupid. plus, i cant say much since players havent been resigned so players like asomghua possibly resigning can make/break a team.

Is it sometimes NOT a good idea to put off having kids?

I know that people say less educated people usually have their kids young and have loads of them, while more educated people put off having kids until they're comfortable with their careers. So let's say the average high school dropout have their first kid at age 16-17, and by age 25 have like 4 or 5 kids. While the Bachelor's degree person has their first kid in their late 20's to early 30's. Some even later than that. But think about it. By the time an educated person would be at the top of their careers, they would be more than likely in their mid-late 30's. A woman's chance of conceiving biologically starts to lower after the age of 35. By the time a woman is 40 her chances of conceiving are even more lower, and even if she does get pregnant she has a high chance of giving birth to a child with birth defects. These are usually the same women who put their careers first instead of wanting to raise a family. They look down on less educated people who have kids they didn't save financially on, but at the same time they're crying because their child was born with a defect. Which from what I hear is not easy at all to do and take care of. Yes I understand that it's good to have some money saved up to have kids, but at the same time you don't have to have all the money in the world to raise kids either. Income also doesn't determine your parenting skills. Your thoughts?

How to un-invite a friend?

she has a eating disorder and strives for attention from all my friends and puts me down in front of people, i didnt really invite her, i told her i had plans and she just decided to come along, i dont want her around, how do i un-invite her?

Do you agree that because we are under Grace instead of Law does not mean..?

As a Christian I know the cost of sin to my Saviour therefore I have no desire to live an unholy life, also because I am crucified with Christ sin no longer has the power over me that it used to. I now have the power through the Holy Spirit to live my life pleasing to Him.

Having Trouble Identifying Weird Vintage Cruiser?

This is a very strange bike. It is a men's bike and all the decals are gone, except for on the front forks where there are like two spikes pointing up with a circle surrounding the spikes in the middle. Beneath that is a larger V and the two spikes and the circle are in between the V . Also strange is the fact that instead of two tubes (upper and lower) it has 4 narrow tubes (2 for each of the regular tubes. Also, it has campy dropouts in back that look pointy (like catwoman glasses). On the left rear drop out, "54x41" and "218159" and "MOY" are stamped. On the seat tube, there is one decal that is square, silver metallic, with a gold band around the bottom and one at the top. Below the gold band on the top, there is a "checkerboard" looking thing that is silver and green. Below that are 6 bands of silver. Anyone know what this is? What make? What model? What year? It's pretty funky... The brake arm says "Bendix".

What are some good careers in the music industry? Also what degrees would I need?

I love music. Like it's my passion. But I am really confused about what I should do in life with it. I know it's really tough to make it anywhere in the music industry, but I wanna strive for it anyway. I was thinking that being in a band or being a singer is not exactly "my thing" even though I love doing both. Anywho, I need some ideas. Please help me!

I'm at the end of my rope and I need help. Can anyone help me?

For the fibromyalgia i would stretch in the morning and go on a little jog or a walk. It will help ur blood move arround and hopefully relieve some of ur stress. For the muscle spasms (which i get sometimes) i apply icy hot at night where i usually get them, legs arms and on the left and right side of my neck. The icyhot helps blood travel and it feels good on my skin all minty and helps me sleep. For the keratoconus there is not kuch that i can say but eat carrots and smoke some mary jane(green plant) would help that... ( I live in California ) but the mary jane would probably interfere with ur anxiety and you would most likely have a panic attack. Thats why u turn on ur favorite tv show and stay away from people for a few hours. Or be with the ones u trust.... Anyway... If not mary jane. Drink some mint tea :) And for ur sleep disorder drink some mint tea before sleep and apply some vics chest rub at night... I know ur in a difficult situation but these are the only few tricks that can relive some of ur stress and pain... Its a tough would out there and im kinda in a financial crisis myself. Just gotta keep optimistic and excercise to keep ur mind straight. Good luck out there :)

Can I get joint custody of my son if my ex and I never married?

Yes, you can get both physical and legal joint custody. You may have to take a DNA test since you were never married to your son's mother but it will be worth it in the end. Don't let anyone try to take your child from you.

Can you be fired for calling in sick 4 times in over a year?

I have been working as a courtesy clerk (bagger) at a grocery store for about a year and 2 or 3 months now. Recently, I called in sick for the fourth time ever. My manager told me that I call in too much and that its "always on shifts where she really needs me". She told me if I didn't show up or get the shift covered, she would take me off the schedule permanently. I wasn't able to get the shift covered, and felt too ill to go to work that day. I feel this is unreasonable as I am never late, have never had consecutive sick days, and am generally a good employee. Some of my friends who work with me used to call in about once or twice a month, have had no call, no shows, and are frequently late, yet they still have thier jobs and were getting more hours than I was while working there. My main question is if this seems reasonable, and if not, what should I do about it?

Can't seem to run faster?

I have been jogging for 4 times a week for approximately 3/3 and a half months, and have been managing to go for about 3.4 miles without stopping for some time now and was starting to feel that I was getting somewhat fit. However, I simply cannot run any faster; I timed myself once and was so horrified at how slow I was going that I've been too afraid of letting myself down again (I averaged about a 14 minute mile). In each of my runs I've strived to achieve better times and pushed myself hard but I just don't seem to speed up. Is there anything I can do to see more progress?

I'm considering dropping out of high school. or at least not going to college?

Because the list is not infinite, as you would realize if you knew what "infinite" meant. Most people have to start out working for a living and you will be suited for only Epsilon-level jobs, like sweeping out McDonald's at closing time.

I understand now why people did not try hard in school. Do you agee with me?

I was a straight A student throughout school. And now I can't even get a min. wage job! But the high school dropouts have a job! Why? Because they ditched school to go to parties! Where they made friends that would ILLEGALLY hand them a job! UNFAIR! But that's life. NOW I get why MOST students just did not care!

Should Barack Obama strive to achieve the high moral standards that Newt Gringrich has?

Will any woman ever love me?

go to a gym, and go on a diet. go back to college, and focus on your grades. work part time, somewhere like wal-mart or something. get your body waxed, to get rid of the hairs. start helping your parents out, to make them realize what a good man you really are. start making conversation with people, to make new friends. start watching sports like baseball (thats hot ;) just to get into sports. talk to your cousins, they are family so you should love them and they will love you back. go see a doctor about your depression, and be put on meds. start going out to hang out with people when you can, become interested in sports or cooking or something like that, play sports with your new friends, dont give up so easy:) you have the rest of your life to live!!

What can a grad school dropout do?

I'm thinking about dropping out of my Masters program because of an adverse relationship with my advisor, but I'm afraid that I'll end up flipping burgers or trapped in a cubicle for the rest of my life. What should I do? I have a BA in Geography and a BS in Math, and I love what I'm doing, but it's just not working out with my advisor.

Got job offer at Geico...Will they still hire me after seeing I have battery misdemeanors?

I have 4 battery misdemeanors from a few years ago...(abusive boyfriend....I never hit anyone...arrested both of us).....but all the charges were dropped, so I never actually spent jail time for any of them, excep the very first which ended in me getting probation for 8 months. Will they still hire me? I am scheduled to start training next week!

Culver's experience and interview?

A Culver's fast food location is opening soon and I already applied. They called me for an interview and I went. I believe it went very well. I spoke with one man and he asked me all of the basic interview questions. He even told me he liked me and I would be perfect to work the front end. He told me out of 300+ applicants that I was in the top 100 to be interviewed. Then he sent me to another man that talked to me about training and the opening date. He told me out of the 100 interviewed that 50-60 will be hired. He said training starts in a couple weeks and the opening date is August 1, 2011. He said he will "definitely give me a call in about a week" My interview was on saturday so I'm waiting for this weekend to come to see if they are going to hire me. Does it sound like they want me? If they do call me, will I have to have a 2nd interview? How was your interviewing experience there? I also want to know about other peoples experiences getting hired at Culver's and what they thought about Culvers? Pros and cons? Are they flexible with schedules? because I will be a full time college student by time they open. Do you recommend working there? I'm really hoping I get hired, this will be my first job other than volunteer work. Any information you can give me about it will be great! Thanks!

What are some typical jobs most male high school dropouts are eligible to do?

Take a typical guy who never finished high school. What kinds of legitimate jobs do most of these guys do for a living--particularly as they get older, have kids and raise families? I don't mean part-time fast food service jobs, which are actually mainly performed by teenagers already in school.

Im really sad lately...I feel like I should be more loving towards my family...?

Ok so I am a 13 year old girl (14 next month) and I just feel really different.Not really depressed or sad..maybe more mature or something? I'm not mean to my family,but for some reason I feel like I should be nicer to them.Every time I make a mistake my mom lectures me about how I am cold hearted and should tell her and the rest of my family I love them.She just got remarried a few months ago my real dad left before I was born.My step-dad is ok but he has 2 daughters and they are very rude and I really don't like them.The oldest is 25 and the youngest is 12.They hate me and my brother.My brother is 23 and he's cool.He's always been nice to me,but he's a dropout and so my moms disappointed in him.I have this problem..I can't tell my family that I love them..no matter how much I do..I don't know why and lately I feel like I should but for some reason I'm scared.I even want to hug them sometimes,but I don't..It doesn't bother me to hug my friends at school or tell them I love them..when they could never compare to my family.When all my mom does is say how cold hearted I am for not telling them.My brother and my other family members dont say much either.What is wrong with me???

What to do with small children who act up when guests come over?

How much notice does he have of the guests, and what is your level of involvement with him immediately prior to their arrival?

I want to quit my job but they wont let me. Is that legal?

That is not legal at all and they can not hold your pay if you quit. If they refuse to pay you you can sue.

Why is he so suspicious of me?

The guy is a jealous maniac. Get used to it if you want to continue to see him. Walk away if you want to maintain any level of privacy or independence.

How important is two weeks notice?

I'm recently turned twenty and in the beginning of August I'm going to be moving across the country with my girlfriend. My boss is the kind of guy who calls your parents or husband if there's any problem no matter your age, and I know he'll call my parents when I put my two week's notice in. I'm getting about seven to ten hours a week for no real reason (I'm a good employee and the managers are all asking for more hours for me to no avail) so if I did walk out, the schedule wouldn't get that messed up (I work at a fast food place). I know the managers would give me good references no matter what because I work hard, am never late, never call in sick, and I get along with everyone there. So....how important is a two week's notice? I can't let my parents know that I'm leaving until I'm actually gone because they're homophobic bigots and have threatened to kick me out if I became a lesbian before, and for now I'm dependent on them. It's a complicated situation.

My family always brings me down and now D.Y.F.S is coming? How do I deal with this?

This past year I have been going through depression and anxiety attacks. I missed school so much that because of my illness and the treatment that I have to take summer school to make up for it and to pass the grade. It's everyday and I have missed it a few times because of my weird sleep schedule. I have trouble sleeping so I stay up like all night sometimes and then crash during the day. The school said that if I miss one more day of summer school that they would call D.Y.F.S on my family. Well I missed it today because I was sleeping and now D.Y.F.S will probably come to my house tomorrow. I'm really scared and I don't know how to deal with this again. D.Y.F.S was involved with my family last year and I was so afraid so them coming back, it's one of my greatest fears. Should I just let them take me into an orphanage? Should I just run away? Kill myself? I don't see why not, no one in my family wants me. Today my brother told me that I should just go die and I'm so fat. I have a terrible self image and everyday when I look in the mirror I hate everything I see. So what he said didn't help me at all. Also today my mom said that she wishes I was never her child, I'm just a big problem and that she wouldn't care at all if I ended my life. This hasn't been the first time that my family made fun of my appearance and said very hurtful things to me. I just don't know how to deal with this anymore. They make me feel like a waste a life. What should I do? and what should I prepare for tomorrow with D.Y.F.S?

Did you dropout of college and succeed? what did you do, take a job training or other?

I dropped out and joined the armed forces as a corpsman. When I returned to college, I was able to raise my GPA from 2.5 to 3.5 in my final two years. I then went to grad school, and worked for 25+ years as a logistics manager - I then retired and entered seminary...I'm now a minister.

Can a 16 year old drop out work at a fast food restaurant?

Just wondering! I am not a dropout.. Just curious to see if they would be able to get the job without a high school diploma or the equivalent?

Kanye was an above average rapper back then. His lyrics on Never Let Me Down, Jesus Walks, and Spaceship are godly.

Mother is trying to control my school life?

The answer posted by "?" is fairly reasonable, but a guidance counselor may be more helpful. You should discuss your situation with your school's authority on future planning (at my school this was the guidance counselor). You sound like you have clear and responsible goals for your future education, but double-checking these with the counselor could help, and the counselor could also help to address these issues with your parents. Having a informed adult on your side certainly couldn't hurt. Regardless, I hope everything works out well for you.

Which cell phone should I get?

Personally, I like touch screens better, but its really your choice. If you have never had a touch screen before, ask you're friends if you can try theirs out. Added bonus; Neon Orange. A nice eye popping color if you're that bold person. On the other hand if you really love the phone you had, go for it, but I would chose the Ig touch.

My 8 year old sister is sick and i'm worried about her?

Keep your hands clean. Don't touch your mouth,face, and especially eyes. She probably has pink eye, or allergies. Most likely its allergies. Pollen can swell up the eye and stuff up the head. She will be fine just keep her filled with fluids to you see the doctor.

My in-laws are always staying at our house on the weekends - without asking me. How do I say "no"?

My in-laws live about 3 hrs away from my husbands & I's house. It seems like 1x per month - they find some reason that they need to come to our area of the state and plop their feet up at our house for the entire weekend. Lately, their visits are becoming more frequent -- 2-3x per month. My husband and I are very busy - and work opposite schedules -- the weekend is all we have together. And when this crew comes into town - they bring husbands, wives, the mother-in-law and their children. It's like we're a new vacation home for them. I understand that family comes first - but I'm having a hard time enjoying their company when they're always around. They were raised differently then I - they rarely say thank you for meals, never help to clean up, and never say 'thank you' for us allowing them to stay. That makes it all the more difficult. Even worse, my husband is always very excited to have them there - so I just put up with them....again, and again, and again. I need their visits to slow down - but I don't want to be rude and make my weekends and theirs miserable. Should I just be honest and ask them to please back off with their frequent trips? These trips are even more frustrating as I generally find out about them coming 2 days before they head our way - which changes any plans I may have made in the first place. Of course, they never ask me - they always TELL my husband they are coming. HELP HELP HELP with a little advice of how to cure these bad habits these people are starting before it gets worse!! I want to enjoy these people - not despise their company!

My 4 1/2 month old's sleeping schedule?

Ok, she takes maybe 2 naps a day, maybe an hour at the most... but she doesn't fall asleep until anytime around 1-2 maybe not even til 3:30 a.m. but she'll sleep on and off for 12 hours after that. So if she falls asleep at 2, she'll sleep until about 8am, wake up, eat, get a diaper change, and fall right back asleep until maybe 4 hours later, and wake up, eat, diaper change, and back to sleep and continue that for about 12 hours, so she doesn't wake up for good until around 3 in the afternoon, therefor her naps don't start until about 6, then another about 9, (give or take) We try to bathe her around 9 depending on what time she's napping, how can I get her on an earlier schedule? I don't want her to be real cranky from us having her stay awake longer, but if we have her get up earlier and go to bed earlier she'll probably have to wake for a feeding, like if we try to get her to go down at like 8-9 for the night she would probably wake up about 3 am because that's been 7 hours..... I don't know, any advise would be great, please! Thanks in advance!

16 year old GED HELP?

So up untill tonight, my focus as a 15 year old have been quite narrow-minded. I go to school simply because it's "what you do", not in a bad way, I have excellent grades, etc. More to the point, My dad has homeschooled me on and off for the past 5 years, I havent had much planning ahead guidance and this year have fallen extremely behind in my schooling. I go to an online school, themorningstaracademy and unless I get the summer extension, which I cant afford by tomorrow, the deadline, Im going to fail two of my 6 classes because I wont be able to finish all the assignments. I started super late because I and everyone else around me has a mac, I had just got mine and couldnt affor to buy a PC which is what I needed for school. Its not that im incapable, This is my first year taking AP classes and I hav excelled, there simply isnt enough time. That being said, I have few options. I can transition into public schools for the 3rd time and run a high risk of being placed BACk two grades or more, can continue with online school which I cant afford to do because my parents now see me as not being able to handle it, which I understand from their perspective, but being the one actually trying to do it right, I just couldnt get it all done. And my third option, my birthday is in two months, so I could go straight for my GED, and start life basically. Im not particularly in favor of any of these options, because when I think GED, I have this illiterate, "prescious" type stereotype in my mind, as if im some stupid dropout who will in the eyes of others will never acheive anything, which im not calling ANYBODY by the way, thats just the stupid image I have in my mind. Im not sure what to do, any input right now would be helpful. I do want to go to college and a good one at that. Being homeschooled for so long, I havent had any guidence when it comes to the future and pursuit of education, career, etc.

Is it possible to fail in life? will i always be a failure?

Dear Lildreamer, by reading your question over and over again I realized that you are of a above average intelligence and because you worry of such things makes you a good hearted person. You shouldn't listen to what everyone says and keep trying your best. Don't heed the ill minded voices that try to discourage you and do not drop out of High School. Prove to them all that you will not be what they think you'll be and live your own life based on what you want to do, not what others say you can do. I really hope that my advice helps you. Best wishes, Sin

Where can i find the best case for samsung strive?

i bought a pink hard rubber case off of amazon about six months ago. it lasted for about two weeks. during those two weeks though, it began shattering (as in, i would look down at pieces of the rubber would have fallen off). my mom has an otterbox for her blackberry torch and its amazing. unfortunately however, otterbox does not make a case for my style phone. :( i just need a good case (i would like it to be silicone so that it won't break) thanks!

Why is it that I don�t care about almost nothing anymore?

first off you do care otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question, second, at least YOU try things, most people are cowards and never find things out. have you ever heard the expression it wasn't meant to be? most of the time its true, how many times have you tried something and found out it went straight south and you said glad i never did that? lol the thing that keeps telling you to move on is that core that you have built inside yourself from failing, failing all those time wasn't necessarily a bad thing, it was a good thing. you are just going through life figuring out what you like and don't like and what you can and cant do, you need to go back and figure out what was the pros and cons and piece them together and then use them to be successful on the next thing you try, your to hard on yourself because you feel like your getting older and running out of time, but here's the good news you have plenty of it. and who cares what people say, i would rather fall on my face 100 times and learn along the way rather than everything be easy or handed to me, don't worry drama and gossip are like reality t.v. shows they all fade away, how do i know im 25 and just started being successful after failing hundreds of times good luck hope this helped :)

What time does/did your 3 month old go to bed at night?

Only you can answer your question. Ask yourself are you and your baby happy with the routine you have? If the both of you are then you have no problem. Also as you have your baby in a routine now it will be harder to change it. Hope this helps
