MY SLOGAN: TREAT YOURSELF!Hi my name is Jen - I am 33 and married; a graphic desinger, a big sister, movie lover, horse rider, and board game nerd.
advice
I've recently paid the funeral expenses for my father's funeral out of the estate account. ($10,000)....should any travel expenses be paid to family members ( out of state)....???
Is there a travel allowance ??
No, people coming to a funeral are there to be supportive, you have no obligations to them. In fact, if they have proper ettique they should be giving you money with their sympothy cards to help pay for the funeral.
Well i have a boyfriend that ive been with for almost 6 months but ive known him for 5 years. He is a very jealous guy because that is the way he was brought up he is very sweet and loves to buy me things! I have another guy who is very nice and sweet also. LIke last week i went to his house and he had a cute teddy bear for me, when i talk to him on the phone he talks to me like he's known me for ever. He says stuff like "i love you", "i want to be with you forever and i will never leave you". He's very sweet like. I dont see my boyfriend only on weekends because he works 2 jobs. Like i said everytime i talk to him he is so sweet and my boyfriend is not that sweet. well i dont want to fall i love with this guy what should i do? please reply!!!
Well from what I hear, you sound dissatisfied with your current relationship, and this new guy is showing you what you are missing. If you are not happy in your current relationship, maybe it is time to take a break and try dating some other people. But if you are completly happy with what you have, and don't want to loose your boyfriend, I would leave the other guy alone.
My vote: See other people. Don't settle for someone just ok.
my mom is cheating on my dad and they have been married for a long time and i dunno wut i should do.. HELP
Confront your father and ask him for the truth.
everytime i try to sumbit my answer to a question on this site, it says "Chatspeak detected. Type in english please" does anyone know why it's doing that, and how to fix it? I Rate High for the effort! thanks~*
It's the new thing to clean up the questions and get rid or the crap. If you say more than two chatspeak words like (ur or lyke) your question will not be approved. So type in english from now on!
my bf and me have been going out for 2 weeks now. and it just weird. he has already told me that he loves me and everything. i can't stand that and when i told him not to say that, he got kinda upset. so then he told his friend that i said i love you first, and then his friend wants me and him to break up with him. and today when i wrote him a letter about it i was kinda mad. and during the passing period he came right up to me in the big lunch room and started yelling at me infront of god and everybody. i walked away trying not to cry, but when i walked into 3rd period i was balling. he told me later that i started it. and that he is tired of my prissy attitude. what do i do? what would you do? would you stay with him? should i dump him? i like him a lot
He obviously does not really love you, nor has very much respect for you if he can yell at you in front of the entire lunch room. You have just gotten a taste of what he is really like, now ask yourself, do you want to be with someone like that?
What should I do to remove my leg hair?
Shave - with shaving cream, not gel. And spend the extra money for a nice razor, it makes all the differnce.
Ok I am not a geek and I am not popular. I am in the middle and I am sure of it. I am in 8th grade and I have never had a boyfriend before. In all I have asked 4 guys out and they all turned me down. I am pretty...but not like WOW GOREGOUS pretty but resonably cute. I have to ask is there something wrong with me?
-single and hatin it
Not at all. I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 21, and by that time I was smater and knew what I wanted in a relationship, it wasn't something superficial. Don't go looking for a boy, just to have a boyfriend, wait till the right boy comes around. You are less likely to get hurt that way.
P.S. I am now 24 and happily married.
my rat has been loosing a lot of weight lately. i know rats have respratory problems,but their is no sign of blood in his nose or mouth. he gets plenty to eat and seems very happy.if you have any ideas what could be wrong please let me know. thanks.
When there is a sudden chage in a pet like extream weight loss, it usually is a sign that there is something wrong. If you are willing to spend the money, I would take him to the vet.
there's this guy in my school who seems to dislike me . maybe i'm just being sensitive , but sometimes he repeats what i say in a funny/mocking way .he teases everyone , but i have this feeling he doesn't like me . maybe i'm too sensitive , cuz i don't like it when people tease me or make fun of me . how should i respond to such things ? ( ps : i don't know him that well )
The reason he continues to tease you is because he knows he is getting to you. If I were in your position I would either one, just ignore him, and show him is comments, or even his presence does not effect you at all. Or if you are more brave, call him on his behavior. But you must do it with complete confidence. "Are you so immature that you have to tease others to gain attention and acceptance." If he mocks you after the comment, tell him to "get a life," and walk a way with your head heald high, and then ignore the jerk.
I was wondering where can I find those pink breast cancer bracelets besides online? And if it's in a store what aisle would it be in? Thanks in advance!
Try the fashion jewlery department at a department store. Ask a clerk, they will point you in the right direction. I use to work in the accessoies department at Herberger's. We always had breast cancer jewlery.
How do you update microsoft word? Because i have 97 and i want 2000...dont tell me to search google either i tried that...thanks
You have to go and buy the upgrade. Try Best Buy. My guess is that it will be $100+.

tnxs..ill rate u high
I did not know that about the muslim religion. I am sure it is hard to try and conform to your muslim culture while trying to fit into American culture.
You must know the reasons behind this religous belief first before you can explaine to your mother why that tradition is not importaint to you. If she disagres, try and be respectful of her wishes. And if you must, just pluck them yourself. Maybe your parents won't even notice.
My guy friend and I just started liking eacother..( begining of thanksgiving break )..and we just told eachother * which is something I like NEVER do * but I am so afraid that he'll just change his mind..and I'm gonna feel SOO weired on monday at school. Ahhh what do I do..we're not like BEST friends but we're pretty close..and I've never felt this way about another guy before. Please Help!!
Why stress yourself out over something that may not even happen? Don't worry about the possible end of your relationship before it even begins. Just let things happen naturaly. To calm your nerves call him this weekend so you don't have to wait until monday to talk.
hey everyone! omg- i need some help!! okay, well this guy, Eric, like me alot and asked me out last night, and I said yes. But, my ex boyfriend(our relationship was 1 year)is coming down from Oregon tomorrow and i still love him. Help, i dont know what to do!! i really love my ex and i still like Eric alot. I am sooo confused!! please help me!!
He is your EX-boyfriend for a reason. Move on with you life, don't hold onto a past relationships. Go out with Eric, and enjoy what life could be like with someone else, you may surprize yourself.
ok here it is:
i was at starbuck ordering a vanila creaam. The person asked me what my name is (they always do that and they out ur name on the cup). well when it came out the girl (who looked about 18 shes HOT!!!) she thought i was about her age and im only 15! she gave me her # under the cup...
the screwed up thing is it is all wet and its messed up. and each time i go up 2 starbucks 2 get her # shes not there. Should i jus give up w/ her
Absolutely not. She obviously likes you, so why would you give up so easily. Go to Starbucks again and if she is not there, ask someone when she will be working. If you don't know her name, describe her. She will be impressed that you tried so hard to find her.
At school a few weeks ago, I walked into the assistant principlals office to get my locker combination because I couldn't remember it. While I am in there, the assistant principal takes me into her office and informs me that several teachers and staff that walked into the office said that it smelled of alcohol, and that the strong scent of alcohol was coming from me! She asked if I would be willing to take a breath alizer test and I told her yes, I will take one. Well, I obviously passed the test and then she kept talking about how strong the smell is. I told her I couldn't smell anything! I told her that maybe it's the halls in my mouth that is making the room smell like alcohol, but we both agreed that a tiny little halls can not stink up the whole room with a strong scent of alcohol. So, she brings me all the way out to the front of the school so I can smell fresh air and then back into her office, and I informed her that I still can't smell any alcohol. She was very surprised at this, and kept saying how the smell of alcohol was so strong. She asked if I smoke cigarettes. I told her yes. She asked if I had them on me. I told her no. She asked if I could prove it. I confessed that I did have cigarettes and a lighter on me, but I do not smoke in school and I only carry them on me because I walk home from school and smoke on the way home. She then, searched my things just to be sure, but she asked if she could beforehand. I didn't have anything else on me, and then she suspended me for 3 days. Well, just yesterday, I got a letter in the mail ordering me to court for this. For having cigs and a lighter at school. I just wanted to know..do I have an argument? Was she allowed to do all those things? Do I have any argument at all? I'll rate 5 for everyone. I really need help on this.
As far as I know, schools are allowed to search anything you bring onto the property. And even if they weren't allowed, she still she asked your permission, and you said yes. So yes she was allowed. Bringing cigarettes to school is obviously against the rules if you were suspended for it, and now if you have a court order, it may also be a county, or even a state ruling. If that is so, I would say you have little to no argument. Do some research about the laws surrounding this before your court date, it may help your case.
Hi, i'm sad cause my dog is the nicest one on earth. but he's sad cause we had another dog and we had to give her away. its horrible i cant stand it. my mom wont let me get another dog. wut should i do?-Caitlan
Be greatful you still at least have a dog. Don't be so concerned with what you don't have, and take joy in what you do have. Your dog is not alone, he has you. So give him some extra attention, that will cheer him up.
Hi, i have a friend who has bad b/o. I'm not that kind of person who can say "Would u mind putting on some deoderent?" I could never do that to a friend. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to tell her without hurting her feelings. Please my b-day party is coming up and shes coming, i dont want to afend my other friends. Please, I really need some help.
Have you ever heard of deoderant crystals/rocks. They are really cool. It's a crystal, but when you get it wet it acts as a deoderizer, and you can use it on your whole body like soap. You can usually find them at health stores for less the 5-7 dollars. Look them up online. Just buy her one and give it as a friendly gift. Say you thought it was so cool you thouough she would like it too. It would be the same as giving her some lotion.
Okay, I'll put it to you this way: I'm OBSESSED with mashed potatoes. I make them all the time when I come home from school. I normally eat them plain or with corn. I need to mix it up a bit. Does anyone have any thing I could put in them to make them good? Anything will be good for me. I eat anything pretty much, especially mashed potatoes. Heh. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas as to how to spice up my mashed potatoes, that'd be great! Thanks if you can help!
Try vinagar. It's delicious, a lot like german potato salad. How about ranch dressing, MMMmmmm. Little bits of bacon, green onion, or garlic. Be creative!
