OK, so my dad has cancer, my mom needs 2 hav surgery, my sista is a diebetic, my other sis just had a baby, and we hav alot of other things like that going on in my family. I really need an additude ajustment. When ever some1 else says somethin negitive, i become negitive, and every1 gets mad at me. How do i change this?

maybe you need to talk to someone. make an appointment with your guidance counselor..maybe you just need to get some stuff off your chest, and talking will help.

I have been working for a company for about a year and a half. Last Christmas time I got a bonus of $20. This year, when I was really depending on that small bit of bonus, I got nothing.

The company recently sent a letter to all of it's employee's scolding us on leaving early. I was one of the people who had left early sometimes. I haven't done it since, but could that affect my Christmas bonus?

I know it isn't that the company can't afford it.

What I'm wondering is what the proper thing for me to do would be. Would it be uncalled for if I asked them about a bonus? I need to call them before Friday about working on Christmas, so should I just ask about my pay on Christmas weekend, and if there will be a bonus at the same time?

Should I just ignore it and decide that they decided to not give me a bonus this year, or treat it as a mistake on their part and ask them about it.

I'm just not sure if I would be out of line in some way if I ask them about a bonus.

i agree with others. it's a gift, and it wouldn't be right to ask them about it. you still have a small chance of getting it, christmas is in 4 days

Okay, so today, I went out and bought a CHI straightener. (I had a Hot Tools one, but it's too old. That's why the CHI was purchased.)

Well, I haven't used the CHI yet, and I only bought it because everyone raved about it. So, before buying it I went on amazon.com, and other websites, and looked at customer reviews for the CHI. More than half the reviews said that the CHI broke, and left damage to their hair. The ones that put the CHI down, recommended the 'Sedu' straightener.

I read the reviews for that one, and everyone RAVED over it, just LOVED it. So, I'm curious..did I make a mistake purchasing the CHI? Or does anyone have one..and have any complaints about it?

Does anyone have a Sedu? I just want to know about them both, thank you!

:) Britt

i think CHI is supposed to be really good. but i'm sorry, i've never heard of a Sedu

I've lost my voice, and I was wondering if anybody knew any useful remedies to help me to a speedy recovery, as I'm supposed to be singing in a carol concert on Sunday and in the coming week. I've heard honey and lemon is good for throats, and obviously not trying to strain my voice any more. Any additional ideas?

get plenty of rest, try cough drops/throat lozenges, drink tea and orage juice. i hope you get better soon!!

I am having my 17th birthday party on friday and the theme is pink. I invited guys and they don't care that the theme is pink lol. But this is my first party where guys can come and I am worried something bad will go wrong or that my mom will stay downstairs or something. And what are some games we can play or things we can do that will be fun for both guys and girls? thanks and any other ideas will be great thanks

tell your mom you are old enough and responsible enough that you dont need her at your party

play spin the bottle, twister, umm... just make something up

Ok.. hi. See me & my sister are like 9 years apart, she's 23 & I'm 14. She is always talkin bout how I shouldn't be mean to her, but she used to ditch me for her friends & crap. Ok, well, she's all of a sudden wanted to be "sisters" and I'm just like, no. She's all whiny & she's babyish. It really gets on my nerves but, when I wanna spend time with her she's always "busy". Ok well we have alot in common but she wont open up to me & tell me about her problems. She goes & tells mom (BIG mistake). Then mother goes & tells daddy & they talk about her so bad. I dont know what to do! I know I don't like her sometimes but hey, she's my sister. Please help!!

go talk to her!! you guys are getting older, and it won't be as hard to talk to her. plan a day out at the movies or lunch or something, and start talking to her. you are so lucky to have a sister!!
