blind
Posted Monday August 14 2006, 8:46 pm
what does it mean when someone says you're blind? (not literally, obviously) they think they're so wise and stuff and when you ask them what they mean they say "you'll know later"

ma'am and sir
Posted Sunday August 6 2006, 4:46 pm
i live in the south, and we always say ma'am and sir when speaking to adults. however, i recently met some students from northern states and they don't say that. they even said that adults from northern states think it's weird when they say ma'am and sir. but in the south, adults think it's disrespectful to not say ma'am and sir. why is this, and should i just say ma'am and sir to all adults because that's how i was brought up?

I want to do something nice
Posted Monday July 31 2006, 11:20 am
I am going on vacation for a week and my neighbor has offered to water my garden and vegetables while we are gone. She is an older lady, not elderly but older. She lives next door, but we have a lot of land so it will be a hassle for her to come over and get out the hose, then roll it up again...but she offered and I need the help so I accepted.
My question is, I want to do something nice for her in return but I don't know what. I was thinking maybe a gift card to a grocery store or Wal Mart, but how much $$ is appropriate? Thanks for your advice!

Guilt
Posted Monday July 24 2006, 7:08 pm
I was out swwimming yesterday and I went over to myfriend's place. I had just put on my jeans and I sat on their couch. When I got up, there was a huge blue stain on the couch. I had read something about just flipping it over so I just flipped the beige cushion over but now I'm feeling really bad about it because that stain would never come out.
Should I tell my friend?

Who determines what is polite and what isn't? How does everyone begin to acknowledge these "rules"?

interviewing a musician!!
Posted Saturday July 15 2006, 5:42 am
So I'm interviewing this guy tomorrow. It's a half an hour interview. I saw his band at a local pub and really liked them. And since I'm part a community TV station, I asked if I could interview him.
But now I find out he's REALLY famous here and everyone I speak to knows who he is! He's been the host of a popular music show for a couple of years which I didn't know about.
I'm really nervous now about the interview and worse case scenarios kept running through my mind. I'm afraid I'm going to look like such a fool or have a mental blank or something. It's a half an hour interview that's being filmed and I have no idea how I'm going to fill up that time.
How can I relax a bit, and what are some good thing...

Well.. I used to be popular, when popular was good. When it was good to be nice & smart. Well yeah I had tons of friends and I wasn't very shy.. But now I'm like really shy. (I'm going to 9th grade--highschool, 14/f) I can talk to people on the internet but in person, I turn red and stuff.. and people just know I'm shy so hardly anyone talks to me. My friends that know the real me.. I'm not at ALL shy around them.. but at school I am? I can't really explain this, but please help. How can I make myself talk to people, not blush, be more outgoing, and make more friends? Thanks!

sexism?
Posted Wednesday June 28 2006, 7:40 am
Why is it so wrong to be chauvanistic, but OMG SO COOL AND TRENDY!!!!1! to be feminst?
Why is that it's wrong for a man to hit a woman, but if the chick hits the guy, it's considered cute?
Why can girls get away with calling guys every sexist name under the sun but if a man dare say the word chick (ZOMG!!!1!! NOT CHICK!!!! *gasp*) he is called a sexist, and that is not ok?

Unintentional Insults.
Posted Tuesday June 27 2006, 5:22 pm
I am a pepper fiend. I put pepper on practically everything but sweets. My question is, could that be misconstrued as an insult?
My brother's girlfriend kindly made dinner for our family for the first time, a few weeks back. Chicken. Of course, I went nuts with the pepper shaker. The way she looked at me really hurt my feelings. I don't think she purposely shot me down. I think she was just more in shock that I had the nerve to do that. She eats dinner with us everynight, though. She knows my routine. It's nothing new. I still felt like a jerk. I didn't say anything then, but I probably should have. Now it's too late, and I would just like to gather multiple opinions for future reference. I'd hate to unintention...

Bday invitations
Posted Thursday June 15 2006, 5:45 pm
Okay, well I'm 13/f turning 14 in july
This question is regarding my birthday party...my parents are allowing me a sleepover and i'm going to bring a few friends to an amusement park for the day. The problem is, the park admission is $20 per person and obviously that would be a large amount of money for my 4-5 friends, then my family, and me. I want my friends to pay for it, but what is a polite way to put it on the invitations? I was thinking a good way to go might be to write on there "instead of a gift, admission to the park is $20." or something of that sort. What do you guys think? Thx very much =] And yeah my bday is a month from yesterday (6/14) so I don't need the answers urgent... (like, tomorrow.) I dunno ...
