About chaos



It's another crazy year in my world of entropy. I am engaged now and very excited. It will be a little while before we can get married due to money constraints, but it will happen.
I like things simple. I hope to give honest and useful advice. I don't believe in giving answers just to get good feedback. 98% of all questions put in my inbox will be answered. The only ones I don't answer are those too young to be here or too obscene/disrespectful. I don't know everything, but I think I can help a lot.

what is the meaning of court summon and does one necessary need to attend?

It means that you must appear in court on the day it says. You have to attend or there will be a warrant sworn out for you arrest. If you have a conflict, there should be someone on the sheet that you can call, but you probably will have to drop everything and be there.

Like the title says...
This is just an opinion thing. I'm curious as to what you all think. I'm turning 17 in 5 days, if it matters ^_^.
I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and I still feel like I have a crush on him...
Lol I mean, I get nervous before picking up the phone and dialing his number...I get butterflies in my stomach when I see him...I hear his voice and I smile...
We're totally in love, and all that. He's told me he feels the same way, though not quite as strongly as I do (the "crush" thing, not the love thing.) Is it weird that I still have a crush on the guy I've been with for almost a year?

I know it seems a little odd, but enjoy the crush thing while it lasts. Its not uncommon to still feel all gooey when you talk to your boyfriend. I still feel gooey, but I know I love him a lot too. I don't think I do the neervous thing around him as much unless I am trying out something new in the kitchen.

i've been eating a lot of candy for like the past 3 days, pretty much all ive ate was candy and chocolates and soda, n the only food was pizza and a hot dog. me and my parents are like 99% sure that i have diabetes and ive heard that one of the things that will happen to you when you have diabetes is mouth pain and i always have mouth pain, i have to tak 3 aspirins every morning so it wont hurt in school. so we thought it was a cavitty and we went to the dentist and there was nothing on the x ray so now were like positive its diabetes. anyways, today my mouth was hurting really bad so i took 4 aspirins and i couldnt take the pain and that hasnt helped so i took one more and it still was hurting so i went to go brush my teeth and wen i spit out blood came out and i checked my gums to see if they were just bleeding from the toothbrush and they werent so i just spit and blood came out in this thick mucus (sorry if thats gross) so i was kind of worried then it still hurt so i took 2 more aspirins cause the pain was unbearable. so basically i have taken 7 asprins and i only weigh 100 pounds, im really scared but no ones home and im scared to go to a neighbor or call 911..and i really dont want to puke, do you think ive over dosed or anything please help

Stop taking aspirin. You may have an ulcer. You really need to go to the doctor.

Call them ahead of time because he can also test you for diabetes. I know what its like to be afraid of having diabestes because mom is on an insulin pump. So far I am alright, but overweight. Please don't assume that one particular symptom is the disease. Get tested.

I am 47 been married 2 1/2 years and for the first time I have never been so much in love, just recently about 6 months ago it seems like I have to beg for attention from my husband not sexual attention even though that department is not like it used to be but I want the hugging, cuddling, holding hands, kissing just to be close. I just do not what to do anymore, I am tired of trying and crying and the funny thing is 7 months ago I weighed 200 lbs and decided I was going to lose it on my own so I got really motivated and lost 60 lbs. I went from a size 18 to a 6 and I thought things between us both in the bedroom and out would change, I was wrong I jst need some good sound advice. Thank you taking the time to read my question. Bonnie

Retreat! You need to go on vacation for just you two. Plan some time just to "be." Have you asked him to hold you, cuddle, etc? Because guys do not take hints well. You want it, sometimes you have to ask for it. As things heat up, you won't have to ask as much. Ask him what he wants too. Try sometime crazy. If none of that works, seek a therapist or some other outside help.

Hey, I was going to have a sleepover party for my friends on Halloween after we go trick-or-treating with each other. My one friend that I invited is allergic to dogs, cats, and guinea pigs -- which are all of the pets I have. She can't even go in my house because of it. I was considering sleeping out in a tent in the backyard, because it's really big, but it might be too cold by October 31st for that. I don't want to just uninvite her because that might screw up our friendship and that's pretty rude. :\ What should I do?

Throw another log on the fire. Yeah tent camping is pretty..cool. Depending on where you live, you could probably do it. Make sure your friends know they are sleeping outside so they can plan for it. As long as its above freezing, it will be ok. You can build a fire and all that good stuff. There are sleeping bags that can keep you warm even on the coldest night.
Maybe you can plan some alternative day with her if this doesn't work out. She will still probably want to go trick or treating. So, talk to her about it, and see how she feels.

How could i overcome my fear on stage?

Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. The more you know and feel the material, the better you will be. Fear is not always bad. Sometimes its just anticipation. It's ok to be a little jazzed up because you need to channel that into the energy of what you are doing onstage.

I have resigne from my current employer by giving three month notice period as per agreemant.Suprisingly they have accepted my resignation the same date and realesed me by saying that;in my case company has dicided to release me immideatly and did not impose the rule of deducting three month salary from my account.I simply did not understand how company can give me release order immideatly without giving me three month salary.What was the fun of giving three months notice.My whole family is suffering because of this financial crunch,I have a ailing mother and one year old child to fed.Company name -Pfizer limited;Country India.Designation- District Manager.Guwahati.

Sometimes a company will release you immediately due to insurance issues and the lack of productivity that comes from the fact that you have already quit. If there is an actual contract that states that you get three months salary with three months notice, then you have a case that might be relevant. I don't know about the laws in India, but I know if you had a contract here, you would probably still get paid.
Wow, three months. The most I have heard of in the U.S. is one month for high level positions.

i have been married for a little more than 3 months now.my husband and i do not want kids now.i'm 30 years old and my hubby is 36.i was a virgin and neither he had any sexual contact prior to our wedding.he does not want to use a condom during sex and i dont want to take oral contraceptive pills.so our sexual activity has remained largely non-penetrative.i'm still a virgin and my hubby insists on oral sex or we arouse each other and then masterbate.he gets aroused by wonderful shapely legs and a good body.
do u think we need to go to a sexologist for councelling?is he normal?his penis is around 5.5'' when erect.i know it is small but then...
are there other contraceptive measures even if a person is a virgin?both of us are confused.we are not that young either and we want kids only in 2006.i need advice urgently.

Good grief. It's not that small. Trust me, it feels a whole lot different. There are other options in the contraceptive category, but I think you both should have worked this out ahead of marriage. At least you agree on when you want kids. There are patches and shots. Talk to a doctor or a sexual therapict. I think just a visit to the doctor will help.

well, i know its strange, but sometimes i wonder if my parents were virgins before they got married. because they both married late in there lives )38 39ish) so i kind of wonder. is this strange to think? i mean im not going to go up to my mom one day and say hey mom how are ya doing? so btw were you a virgin before dad?

Maybe you should wait until you are older to ask them. My mom started telling me way too much about her love life when I turned twenty or so.
It isn't strange to wonder. It also isn't unheard of to be a virgin. My best friend died a virgin at 26. My boyfriend is still a virgin at 37. I wish I were still a virgin (32) because I didn't get a choice. When my father found out I wasn't a virgin anymore, then he told me they both were when they got married. They were 19 though (and divorced after 3o years).

My girlfriend of one and a half years left me for
another guy. She said if I move out the flat she
would break up with me but I moved out anyway
because of her disrespectful children and loafer
brother. She did nothing to rectify the situation
but instead got the first guy she met to move
with her into another flat. is she trying to
spite me and make me jealous or is she just
using another guy to help her pay the rent? She
says she loves me but she hasnt called me for
days now and we havent been out for weeks?
I dont take shit from her children but she is so
soft on them. What should I do? Just play it cool?

Go elsewhere. She is probably both using the guy for the money and spiting you at the same time. If you can't get along with her children, you shouldn't be with her because they come with the package.

-ALL NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED-

My friend, Jamie, and I were sitting around one day thinking about our Halloween costumes and watching the Addams Family Values movie when my mom suggested we dress up as the Addams family. She said I could be Wednesday and Jamie could be Morticia. We talked about who in our school could be the other characters and how to make the costumes. We've talked about this for a long time and got all the characters and I was like "Who could Tabitha be?" (Tabitha is my our friend) and she said "Oh, shes Wednesday!" I was like, "I thought I was." and she thought I was joking and was like "Oh okay." So this week I was like "So what about Tabitha?" and shes like "Shes Wednesday, remember?" And I was like "No. Im Wednesday." She argued the situation and all she does now is talk about who is who and is trying to get me to be some other weird uncle or something! I cant believe this! Shes my best friend and she did this to me and is rubbing it in my face. I want to be her friend still and all. I really do. But I still dont get it! It was my and my moms idea! Thanks everyone.

Like you could be Cousin It.

Hey everybody! My best friend Brooke's mom died last year of ALL (actute lymphoblastic lukemia) she died on October 17th which would be this Saturday. On is the year anniversary of her mom's death and i wanted to do something special for Brooke to show her i care... any suggestions on something i could get her or ne thing i could say? i would really appreciate it!! and i rate every1!

Wal-mart has nice, but inexpensive flowers if you would like to give her some. I would make it a point to see if she wanted to do anything that day. Let her bring up her mom's death. Just take her out for shopping or a movie or something fun.

so what do you do if whenever you get in fights with your mom your step dad gets involved too adn every time he gets involved i tell him hes not my dad so stop talking to me and hten he says yeah im glad im not bc if i was your dad id beat your damn ass ... idk what to do or to say to him and its really pissing me off! please help!

The first thing you have to do is give up the "You're not my dad, I don't have to listen to you." attitude. That's will piss him off every time, so unless you are ready for a knock down drag out every time, drop it.
The guy is trying to make things work out, and help your mom raise you to be a decent human being. Could you possibly cut him a break every once in a while?
Take a deep breath and see if you can discuss it like the adult you want to be. There are going to be arguments with your mom for a while until you grow out of the rebellious stage that you are in. And sometimes you have fights you didn't even start...I had one last night with my mom. She is just being irrational, so I had to just let her be. It isn't about winning or losing, its about growing up and having sense and responsibilties.

hey well i went tanning last week and on the 3rd day afterwards i would have an itchy like heat rash on my stomache and on the 5th day it was really bad. It was exactly like and alergic reaction. i had to take benadryl to stop the itching. Ive been tanning b4 this during the summer and this never happened to me. I did use a different lotion during the summer tho. Why am i getting this reaction? and its not because they dont clean the beds because i see them clean it and i lay on my back the whole time. What is this from??

Thanx!!

It could be any of about three things. One could be a reaction to the suntan lotion. Another could be you have "sun poisioning." The third could actually be the stuff they are using to clean the beds with. As far as it being on your stomach, its pretty tender skin there, and you might have been laying on it. If you were, that part would get the most exposure.

I've been suffering from clinical depression for a few years, and recently started having panic attacks and mild hallucinations. The hallucinations are morbid (pools of blood, reaching hands, ect.) but clearly recognizable as they're so out of place. I don't want to see a psychologist or take medication. Is there a way to make your mind stay away from depressing thoughts or just clear it if things start getting hazy/weird?

It sounds like you have more than just depression. Sometimes your imagination can run away, but you need to talk to someone about it. It doesn't clear up, you have to learn to deal with it daily. You don't always have to take medication, but sometimes you need it to start feeling better.

I don't think I react to things the way I should,
I lost my father in 97 and I didn't cry all the much and I loved my father very much, then in 2002 I lost my Brother to A Car Crash, and I just don't think I was as sad as I should have been I know you guys are probally think I am cold hearted and made of stone. I fear the same I mean I feel regular emotions like LOVE and anger, and Joy. But when it comes to sadness I just kinda of go numb is something wrong with me, or am I just worrying too much?

No that is a normal reaction that lets you lead your life. Your father and brother would probably want you to go on with your life, and not dwell so much on them. There may be a time farther down the line when you actually deal with the grief that is just triggered out of the blue. When you let it go, then you will probably have a chance to get it out of your system. Sometimes when you have someone you can talk to about it or just hold you while you cry, lets you grieve. If you haven't talked to a counselor about this, I would encourage you to do so. But you aren't strange or weird or cold hearted, this is just the way you handled it.

my plant, gromie, just winked at me. it kidna scares me. i am really upset with his behaviors! what should i say to my naughty naughty venus fly trap? should i tell him to be a good boy, or just ignore the cute little guy?

Did you breathe on it? You know some plants just take things too far. I had a plant once that liked to lean from side to side in its pot, so I put it on a turntable.

Hi, my problem is this. I'am a 21 year old female from Australia. I've worked in numerous jobs ranging from a Hardware to a Chemist and at the moment i work at my local supermarket. At the moment i'am studying medical administration but i dislike it very much. I can't seem to hold down a job because i still don't know what to do for a future career. I dislike studying but i don't want to let my family down. Time is running out, financially i'am really poor and concerned about my future. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Time is not running out, you can always learn new things. If you don't like medical admin, change majors. See a an academic counselor and express your concerns. Then they can guide you to the next step. If you are very far along, maybe you should finish the degree, get a job and start another one field. Don't burn any bridges because you may need their help later to get along.

my mom and dad have basically failed in bringing up a good family there idea of a good family has screwed with our heads. none of us plan on being mormon (my parents religion) my brothers shoplift do drugs drink. my sister has a kid and a boyfriend who used to beat her. my little sis. is spoiled and i am worried about her. i smoke drink and am just screwed up in the head. my parents try so hard to keep us together and happy but they don't get that they can't do anything anymore so they might as well give up. how can i get away from there useless attempts to make me the good kid that doesn't do anything wrong when i do and i can't stop myself? also how can i stop my brothers and sisters from reminding me i am the last chance? it makes me feel guilty.

Maybe it's time to step outside of the help your parents provide and talk to a counselor at school or a therapist. If you know that you shouldn't drink or smoke, there is help out there to make you feel better.
It is not fair to think that you are the last chance. What you need to tbe thinking is what you can do for yourself to make your life better. The whole world does not rest on your shoulders, and you aren't the only person in your position. Try to make something positive happen in your life or the life of someone else.
You don't want to be a Mormon? Fine. Go to the library and do some research on some other religion that meets your needs. Or just start reading the Bible. If you are searching for an answer from God, you will get one.

alright well i dont wanna be like another girl saying oh my relationships arent workign out its only been a month blah blah .. yeah thats not a real relationship .. see for about 3 years now on and off i've been with my boyfriend .. this is the third time we've been together adn its been about 2 months but for some reason it just hasnt seem the same at all .. and he is completely obsessed and always says to me how im like his life and idk what to do because i know how badly i'd hurt him .. and im scared because what if me and him really do have a future with eachother but just not right now and if i ruin it with him now he might not want me later in life .. please i could use any advice

You are in so far you can no longer see the bottom. I have been here. Get out. It's hard, but you will feel so relieved to be away from this sap draining guy who can't seem to take care of himself without depending on you. You don't need him. You need some fresh air, and some fresh thoughts because this guy is probably planning every second of your life for you. I know you have invested several years, but so did I. And the second I got him to let me go, I felt happier and had a lot more energy.
