No Dancin' Fool
Posted Friday April 13 2007, 8:24 pm
I'm a 17 year old female and my prom is tomorrow night. I don't have a date, but I'm going with my best friend and another friend of hers (this was planned from about mid-year).
My problem is that I can't dance to save my life. I can follow if it's a slow song, but I can't dance to anything fast. I just wasn't gifted with rhythm I guess. It's too late to learn now and I'm not willing to embarrass myself so here's my question:
What if someone asks me to dance? How do I say no without being rude or giving them the idea that I'm not or could never be into them. If I'm into the guy or interested, I don't want him to get the wrong idea and just walk away.
I know "No, thank you" isn't rude, b...

What to do/say?
Posted Sunday April 8 2007, 7:33 pm
My grandmother has a friend who's father just passed away. In January, his mother passed away. Their family is Korean and their religion is Buddhist. My grandmother is Italian and Catholic. She wanted to know what the proper etiquette is for responding to this. She wants to know what a non buddhist person should do/get and a buddhist person who just lost his second parent. In the past they have done a LOT for my grandparents such as getting them many extravegant gifts and my grandmother just wanted to know what would be an appropriate thing to give them would be. When my great-grandmother passed away they gave my grandmother money. I'm not sure why I'm telling you that, maybe it'll help. If any of you are buddhist, what's the appropriate thing to do?

Take it or Talk Back?
Posted Thursday April 5 2007, 3:48 am
Ok so I'm usually a fairly polite kid to adults (exceopt my parents but w/e) Ne way, my b/f and I have been together for about a year but his mom hates me. She often says harsh things hidden under sweet comments and I know my b/f hears her but never stands up for me. I always want to rebel and say something back but I'm not sure. Is it better to take it and show her I'm a good person? Or talk back and show her I can defend myself? Please help.

getting rid of bf's present
Posted Tuesday April 3 2007, 2:04 pm
stupid question but i had a bf and he gave me this singing toy for valentines day.
i dumped him, and now i hate him and i never see him anymore (he moved). well whenever i look at the toy it reminds me of him. i really wanna get rid of it, but i dont wanna throw it away cause he spent his money on it, and i cant give it back to him cause i lost contact with him, and i cant give it to any of my friends cause i told them what he got me.
oh ya and i am not going to be in any relationship soon so i will not give it to my future bf. (anyways its ugly as hell and i hated it when i got it)
lol any ideas on what to do with it?

slurred speech
Posted Monday April 2 2007, 11:24 pm
when i talk, it comes out slurred, and people have a hard time understanding me sometimes.
it wasnt always like that though: 2 years ago people understood me just fine, and i never had trouble saying things.
now, i talk really slow, and sometimes my tongue feels too big.
i think its because i am bilingual, and i speak the other langauge most of the time (and that one i speak fine) its just english i have so much trouble with. i used to be this really chatty girl, but my self confidence really went down becasue of this.
are there any excercises that i could do to improve my speaking abilities? talking more in english is not an option, but like reading aloud or something, would th...

column and family thing
Posted Wednesday March 7 2007, 3:01 pm
i don't understand the sign in to advicenators. does everyone have to create a screen name to be able to ask for advice. because I only came here for advice not to give advice but i have this column. so i was wondering if it's like that for everyone. and
my uncle's wife is so annoying. I mean it really got on my nerves that he wants to see what everything in my room looks life. why should she care why does she have to see things. they didn't even really need to use the computer on my room but then they did one time. what an excuse. it's stupid. i don't even like how she smelled when she came in my house.

I'm not sure if it's polite to ask to bring a friend.
Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 11:24 am
My guy friend of six years is getting married in the fall. My boyfriend is going to be standing up in his wedding. I was invited, of course, but I am worried about going because I won't have anyone to sit with at dinner. Since my boyfriend is standing up, he has to eat with the other members of the wedding party. Would it be rude of me to ask the groom if I can bring a friend so I'm not sitting around by myself the whole time? Or should I just stick it out?

Grand Opening
Posted Sunday January 14 2007, 9:35 pm
My father opening his business next week. Is there a standard procedure on how to run an opening? I've called people around my area and they are not sure. Google wasn't much help either. Invitations were already sent and food is taken care of - I'm not sure on how to actually run it in terms of the order of events, speech, etc. Does the ribbon and over-sized scissors need to be used? Thanks.
