Hey guys :)My name is Megan, I'm 22 years old, and I live in Brownwood, Texas! I am engaged to a wonderful man who just takes my breath away. ;) I'm an EKG Tech and I LOVE my job. I had a column here YEARS ago, but simply cannot remember the log in :)
I really enjoy inspiring others and provoking change. I find solace in providing others with a happier disposition. A single word of praise or a simple well-wish can seriously change how people see themselves. I love it!

OK I know that it isn't close to Christmas but my question is were to get a bingo bag. I want to get it at like a local store and NOT online. If you could can you try to find a Everybody Loves Raymond bingo bag. This is for my grandma and she LOVES that show. Thanks for your help..
This might not be much help, but have you consider making one?
If it's what I think it is (online it said either a drawstring bag, or a tote bag).
You could go to any craft store like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc and buy a plain tote or drawstring bag.
You can buy some iron-on paper at Walmart, and print an image from Everybody Loves Raymond on it, and then iron it to the bag. If you don't have a printer, Kinko's will print it for you cheap, or you can print it at your local library for literally 10 cents.
I think your grandma would probably appreciate it more if you made it for her. You could also get iron-on letters from Walmart, and put her name on there.
Good luck!
Hey Im 16 and a senior in highschool. I met this guy in an interschool competition. He's the same age but is a senior in some other school. We started talking after the competition and became good friends. We have gone out on three dates till now. And yeah, we have kissed each other and made out a little. We cannot resist each other at all. And hence the makeouts were a mutual desicion. I am falling for him. But the problem is that even though he says he is falling for me, he keeps on telling me he cannot date me cause he's a bad guy and he cares for me too too much to hurt me. He says he is not one of those dateable guys who will love their girl completely and he might find a new girl and dump me.That would hurt me and he doesnt want to do that! He hasnt had a past record of cheating or anything it's just that he tells me he wants to be sure before he asks a girl out that he will be completely loyal to her and not flirt around with other girls. He also liked this girl a year back and he says he feels guilty that he got over her and fell for me! But when we meet we actually act like we are dating, cause he gets me stuff, he tells me he loves me, we hold hands. we actually act like a couple in love. we also talk all the time. I dont know what to do. Because I really want to be with him. But cant figure out how to make him ask me out? and if he is really a bad guy? HELP.

Honestly? I wouldn't give this guy a chance. To me, it seems like he is manipulating you. By telling you he is a "bad guy" when you have witnessed nothing but him being kind to you will only make you think, "oh, he's just being modest. He's so good to me!" (like you said, you act like a couple in love) Him telling you he's a bad guy is in turn causing you to firmly believe he's not, so it he DOES do something bad (flirt with another girl, etc) you're more likely to overlook it.
I honestly think he is just using you to satisfy his crave for attention. You sticking around after he is basically telling you not to has got to be in incredible ego boost for him. He basically "gets to have the milk without having to buy the whole cow". Meaning, he gets to have the perks of a relationship without being tied down to one girl.
Think about it: it he TRULY loved you, he wouldn't care about the other girls he used to like. He wouldn't worry about thinking he was a "bad guy". All he would want is to be yours, and you to be his. In my humble opinion, I feel that what he wants is to manipulate you. He's a teen boy, honey. You honestly cannot expect anything less.
Please understand that this is my educated opinion, and I may be completely wrong. Best of luck to you!
I'm a current worker at a hospital I only work 2 days in there. I want to transfer to another position which is secretary. In the job application it asks me why i want to transferred and i really don't know what to say because i hate the department where I'm working at. which is in a cafeteria. what are some things i could say? for example i need more days instead of saying i hate that place. Please help. I would appreciate it.
You could say that exactly what you were thinking. You would really like to work more hours, and feel that you'd be a better fit for a secretary job. Explain that you're organized, neat and efficient and you feel those skills are best at a desk-type job. Say you appreciated your experience in the Cafe, but you'd really like to transfer to a position that's more fit to your skills. Good luck! :)
Hey i would like to know how you found all the information needed to work at the mcdonalds. Im 14 and really need a job so I would like to know where I can find all the information
You can't work at McDonald's until you're 16. I used to be a Manager there for a few years. There might be some franchise-owned McDonald's that will allow you to work at 15 cleaning, or running the cash register. You will not be allowed to use the grill or any of the machinery until you're 15. It's McOpCo law. :)
Your best bet is to find a local family owned business that can hire any (reasonable) age they want. Most local family owned joints will hire 14 and up.
Best of luck to you! :)
If a girl who is 13 hugs her boyfriend goodbye that is slightly taller than her and then kisses him on the neck is that slutty? It depends on the kiss, right?
What do you guys think?
If he is your boyfriend, it's not slutty. If you said goodbye to every guy that way, it would be. I would say, however, that you're much too young in my opinion to display affection in that manner.
Hi TuscanSun,
Well here is the update between my wife and I.
Things where very strange when I got home.
I bit my lip and changed the way I approached my life. We have had many talks and many hard days.
But you know what it worked.
So your advice realy helped our marriage.
Our love for each other is stronger than ever.
We are now both very happy and hopefully will be for a long time. Now we must keep the spark going and never let it die again. Once again thanks a lot for your help.
Ray
This made me so happy to read! I am so glad that you and your wife worked things out! I have been thinking about you both lately and was wondering, but obviously it wasn't my place to ask. I have recently become engaged, so it warms my heart to read about things like this. God bless you both, and best of luck to you!
im about to go and upgrade my phone. im getting a smart phone,and i know that to have one, i'll have to pay a data plan, which im fine with. but i've heard that i would have to pay even more to have a 4g phone.
is this true?
im buying the phone online, but will i have to pay an activation fee or have to pay the data plan right then when i take the phone to the store to activate it?
thank you.(:
If the phone is from the provider you currently use, you shouldn't have to pay an activation fee. You've already paid that once you began business with the service provider. The only cost you will incur is the cost of the phone. If you're getting an entirely new plan, you will have to shell out some money. Usually it's around $200.
First lets talk about real life. I have a boyfriend that we used to fight all the time but we recently stopped. I've been together with him for a year and a month and i can hardly see him because of his parents. He had trust issues which is why we fight and he also gets jealousy easily but he said hes gonna change and he has been chowing, so far, really good results. and also to add, i normally get these "feelings" about things and they always come true. we never really discussed about these "feelings". Now for the dream: In the beginning, me and my boyfriend are fighting because he is fed up with these "feelings", he hates that they are always true but he never believes them at first. We just keep on fighting about it. Then one day, a guy that i dont know and never met, comes to my house. I am alone in my house. His name is Chase. As soon as i open the door, we just stare at each other and its very quiet. After about a minute of staring, we just kiss out of no where. I forget that i even have a boyfriend. And with that one kiss, i learn almost every single thing about him. He says it is cause he has the same "power" as me except his is stronger and he can control it. I end up falling in love with him. After about a week later, I break up with my boyfriend to officially go out with Chase. Not even a day later, we are like we been together forever. We don't live together, but we showered together and it was the best feeling i have ever had. Chase watched out for me. There are many people who wanted me dead because they knew about my power. And every time they tried to kill me, Chase was there to stop them.... I told my boyfriend about this dream and he is really sad, i feel very guilty cause i would never ever cheat on him. I love him too much, but part of me really wishes this Chase guy is real.
I think your dream is extremely symbolic, and I will break it up as best I can to describe what I PERSONALLY think it means.
1)In the beginning of the dream, you and your boyfriend are fighting about your 'feelings'. You then go on to meet some random guy who also has 'feelings'.
----- This could mean that you're aware of your constant bickering with your boyfriend, who doesn't seem to understand you. The random guy could symbolize you craving for someone who understands you. Someone who gets you. Someone who believes you.
2) You say that in your dream, people were trying to kill you because of your power.
------- Again, I feel that this could mean you're self conscious about people not understanding you, and all you want is someone to get it.
I think your subconscious is telling you that your current boyfriend isn't working out for you, and you're yearning for something more.
AGAIN - This is just my PERSONAL opinion based on the slight information I have. I am by NO means a professional, nor to I have any history analyzing dreams. I am simply making a guess based on my intuition.
Good luck.
i have a test tomorrow on quotes from the story of agamemnon. i have to identify who said what. how do i go about studying for this!? its about 100 pages long and the language is very difficult for me to understand
Practice and patience. The best way to understand different forms of diction is to simply read it and read it often.
When I read the first few chapters of Pride and Prejudice I was like, "Holy hell. What are they TALKING about?!" but as I delved farther in, it got easier and easier to understand. P&P is now my favorite book.
i have a rott n great peranease mix he is almost 2 years old. he is the most stubborn dog i have ever had!! would like some suggestions on how to get him to quit chewing up things like flip flops bras any toy of my sons tissue n anything wood. he has had since the day brought home something to chew his own toys always a raw hide or bone never without yet he chooses to chew things he know he not suppose to. i catch him in his act all the time and right when u say mister in a stern voice his head goes down and he drops it so he knows and we do not hit him was a smack on the nose when he was a pupp yet he seem to think u were playing and would hip hop all over a go get a toy and want to plsy so that stop and just a strong no is what he gets and i take from him and show him no and then see if he want to take it again and if he does again a NO until he stops he is driving me apsolutely crazy i have always had well trained animals and he has many issues the chewing is just a beginning thought i would start there
If your dog is chewing, they're bored. Dogs require a LOT of stimulation, especially an active breed like a Rott. He needs to go on walks daily - MINIMUM. He also needs to have a range of interactive toys: Plush, toys that make noise, hard toys... etc.
You can put bitter spray on the legs of your furniture to keep him from chewing it. Try a taste in your mouth - it's extremely unpleasant.
Dogs are also creatures of opportunity. If he sees a hamburger just chillin' unattended on a plate, chances are he's going to take it. My dogs are extremely well trained, and have been since they were pups, but even they will try and sneak a bite. Your best bet is to not just leave things around that you know he likes to chew. If he enjoys chewing bras, don't leave them just laying around. Put them away.
The most important thing in discipline is consistency. You need to stick with the same discipline EVERY TIME he does something wrong. For example, if he is chewing on the leg of your couch and you say "No!" and then later on in the day he is chewing on your kid's toy and you say "Bad!" he will be extremely confused. Pick one word that means he needs to drop it, stop, etc. It'll make your life much easier in terms of training.
Also - it's good that you don't hit your dog. That is no way to train an animal. You want your dog to respond to you effectively out of love and respect, not fear.
im in LOVE with my ex but hes always angry and hes as out of control as it gets. i waznt dat great of a person myself its wasnt all r fault tho we live in a very bad area and have pretty messed up lives but over the last couple of years ive become more mature and hes just become worst. the more im away from him the more better of a person i become and from what ive heard he just gets worst and im still extremely lonely and i know hes the only 1 dat can fix dat. mybe if we lived in a better world without abuse, drugs, and babies we could b happy 2gether again. till then what do i do? can i really keep living without my soulmate?
So....... in you're previous questions you're asking about some guy you like, and how you want him to ask you out, and you do all these things to make his current girl angry - yet you're still in love with your ex?
Are you fucking with us?
this guy likes me, i would say yes but he has a flaw dat i really have a prob with i dont know why it just bothers me its dat he has a big birth mark on his chin and its the red kind. i know he cant fix it but i just wanna ask him in a nice way 2 like put concealer on it or something i cant think of a nice way 2 say it tho it just sounds mean but i dont think its 2 unreasonable
It's extremely unreasonable. If a guy told you that you had small tits, would you run off and get them bigger for him? If he told you he thought your hair was ugly, would you change it? You're SUPPOSED to like someone for who they are - asking a guy to change his appearance to suit you is incredibly wrong.
Though, if you must, here is a nice way of telling someone something that bothers you about them: Hey, it probably doesn't mean a lot to you, but I personally get really annoyed when I see people spell horribly and use terrible grammar. It irks me when people use words like 'dat' instead of 'that'. I just think it makes you look childish and uneducated, and I'm only telling you this because I bet you're a really sweet person, and I'm sure you don't want people to think you're uneducated.
Or, for your situation: Hey! Can I ask you a personal question? Do you ever get self conscious about your birth mark? I know of a really cool way that you can make it less noticeable if you want. I break out sometimes on my face, and it makes me really self conscious, so I use this really awesome concealer. Do you want to try it?
So recently I started talking to a man a few years older then me. Well, my question is do men care about stubble in the pubic region? On the mound mostly. I am very prone to ingrown hairs and such so i cant get it completely smooth. Yes I get that if hes a good guy he wont say anything. I just want to know from men's point of view.
Please & Thank you
Most guys prefer no hair whatsoever. They want it as smooth as you can get it. I don't think a little stubble is going to deter someone, though. As long as you're not growing a jungle down there - you should be okay.
Occasionally I'll get lazy with my grooming, but my boyfriend doesn't really care. He might say something like "Woah!" but usually he's pretty cool about it. SO if my awesome guy can handle my craziness, I think a little stubble will be alright. :)
So I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 18. We've been together for 2 months now.
Next weekend I'm going to meet his whole family for the first time, at a dinner. I guess his mom asks how we are doing and everything, and I've briefly met her once. The thing I'm worried about when meeting his whole family is our age difference.
Everyone always makes a big deal that I'm 3 years older than him. But really, we're perfect for each other. People don't make fun of me, but they just joke around saying things like "Ha ha you cradle robber!" Things like that. I'm worried what his whole family is going to say. I know there is going to be a joke or few and I never know how to handle it! I'm a pretty shy girl so I just kind of laugh it off. Or the question from families are always "Why would you wanna be with him!" Like joking around but I never know how to respond.
Any advice on how to handle comments like these?! I obviously want to make a good impression on his family.
Be classy. If someone makes a rude comment about the age difference, just brush if off and say something like "Even though Tom is 18, I really feel like he's at my maturity level. I don't even realize he's 18 until someone makes some comment about it."
Recently I switched my schedule so I could have a drawing and painting class to work on my portfolio. My teacher placed me at te end of the class next to this sophomore , David. He seemed real nnice at first, but then he just kept staring at me and making odd comments about everything. And he breathes on me heavily(his breath stinks).
I really want to switch seats but another girl Maggi sits there and thinks David is a real creeper too.
I don't want to say anything to him cause that's mean.
And I don't want to ask the teacher cause she might put me in a MORE uncofortable position.
How can I get this creeper vibe out of my system??
I'm 16/f/junior in high school. I don't know what age he is. About 15?
The only thing you can do is tell your teacher. Just say that you'd like to sit closer to her to be able to hear the lessons better, or you could just be honest and say that the guy makes you uncomfortable. Make sure you let her know that he hasn't made any sexual comments/advances (if he hasn't!) so she doesn't get the wrong idea. Don't be immature and catty about it, just be honest.
Okay, I just got the HTC Evo, 2 weeks ago. I want to get the iPhone 4S in March of next year when I will have my Evo for about 6 and a half months, just in time for my trip across the world. It's only going to be about $100 because my contract would be up and since it would be up, I would get a discount. So, I told my mom that I would like to get the iPhone in March and she freaked out calling me spoiled, I just got a new phone, I don't need another. I am talking six months away AND I will pay for the iPhone with my own money! This is what grinds my gears, my brother smokes weed, he buys it all the time thus leading him to be broke constantly. She is okay with him using his money for illegal drugs and I can't buy myself a new phone with MY money? What is her deal? My dad agrees with her and they both said they aren't letting me get it. Why are they being so ignorant to me? I don't get it! Also, how can I talk them into letting me get the phone without them freaking out again? I love my Evo, it's a great phone, honestly. The only thing that makes me hate it is the battery, it lasts 4 hours and when I go across the world on my trip, I want to be able to take pictures and send them to the friends that I am there with and play games and find local restaurants on the internet without worrying about losing battery every time I click my phone on like I do with my Evo. Please help ):
You could calmly explain all these reasons to them. Tell them you wouldn't even consider getting a new phone, if the one you currently had - had a better battery life.
does every woman bleed after having their cherry popped?
Yes, thought you might not always be able to see it. Some girls bleed a little, some girls bleed a little more. When I lost my virginity, I didn't see any blood. When I used the restroom about 5 or 6 hours later, there was some light spotting.
Hey, I am a Sprint user and for as long as I have had a phone, all of sprint's sucked. On October 14th, the iPhone 4s is coming out. I had just gotten my HTC Evo 4g, I like the big screen, I like the applications, the kick stand and the amazing 8 megapixel camera. The only thing I HATE about the Evo is the battery, it lasts for so little time, if I play games, it lasts shorter. For anyone who might be reading this who has the iPhone, please let me know if the battery lasts a long time. I am going to Vienna, Austria for 11 days in March, so I would have had my Evo for 6 months by then. My dad was ready for an upgrade and I wasn't when I wanted the Evo, so I took his. By March, I would be ready for my upgrade meaning the iPhone should be able 150$ maybe. I love me Evo and I think part of the reason I want the iPhone is for me to be able to say I have it, even though the Evo is iPhone's toughest competitor, I hear that iPhone sales have even dropped because everyone has switched to HTC. But, I also just really want the iPhone so my phone won't die half way through the day when I am in Austria because I know I will be snapping pictures left and right and I don't know if my Evo battery will be able to withstand that kind of use. I also figure by the time March comes, people that want the iPhone will already have it so Sprint will have it in stock by then and I won't have to be put on back order or anything. So, I love me Evo but I feel the iPhone will better suit my needs in Austria and everything that I have read about the iPhone 4S seems incredible. What do you think I should do? If anyone has the iPhone please tell me about the battery, if you've experienced any problems with it, if it's terrible, please be honest! Anybody who has the Evo, tell me if I should keep it or if I should switch.
Thanks so much guys!
You really shouldn't buy something just so you can say you have it. Seriously, that's really lame. Not to be rude or anything, but it is.
Apple is known for their battery life, though not many products (aside from actual cameras) are made to withstand constant use. If you're taking pictures constantly for five, six hours - yeah, it's going to need to be charged.
Hi,
I am a teacher and part of what I do for rewards is give children stickers. With this tough economy, I have little to none money to spend on the kids this year, this includes stickers. Is there anywhere I can buy stickers for a low price. I tried Target, but 1,000 pack is about 5 dollars. That's too much, given that last year I bought the same pack for 1,000. I'm looking close to 10,000 stickers. Help me, please!
Thank you so much.
I am so bummed. I searched for over an hour to try and find something, but they're all out of your price range. The only thing I can suggest is scouring Ebay. You never know what you might find. :)
For the past month or so my boyfriend and i have been messing around and getting closer and closer to actual sex. about two weeks ago things got heightened and i was in only a thong while he had on boxers and basketball shorts. we imitated sex and the tip of his penis was in my vagina. my period is 5 days late. what are the chances im pregnant?
As much of a chance as having "actual" sex.
Protect yourself if you don't want to be a mom, sheesh.
