living life to the fullest quote
Posted Tuesday July 14 2009, 9:17 pm
16f
i really like this guy and we have a lot in common. he's really into living life to the fullest and such, and he likes the poem "lessons of a moth" by don marquis.
i'm writing his birthday card, and i really want to find a really cute quote about living life to the fullest so that everytime he reads it, he thinks of me with a positive attitude (not as a crush or sexually or anything). i searched through the internet and found a few. it doesn't matter who it's written by, but preferably by don marquis.
i found this one, “No one ever finds life worth living; one has to make it worth living," but i'm not sure if it's too... depressing for a sixteen-year-old? i also found thi...

Cheer Camp Secret Sister Gifts!
Posted Monday July 6 2009, 1:05 am
This is my first year on varsity, and I am one of only 3 new girls. I am going to be a senior this year. At cheer camp they do a secret sister thing and the girls name I picked is also a senior. We are supposed to get 3 gifts for them along with 3 clues. Since I don't know any of the girls very well it's hard to make them personal.
I only have 2 days, so I need some ideas quick! It is supposed to be cheapish, but I don't want to get crappy gifts, not knowing what the girls usually get for each other since its my first year doing this.
I emailed my coach for some ideas, and she said a few girls made scrapbooks and made blankets, but I don't have enough time for things like that :( She also mentioned candy treats...

MY birthday is coming up..
Posted Monday June 29 2009, 6:12 pm
my birthday is coming up soon. i can't decide what i want. there are two things that i'm thinking about asking for. i either want this coach purse or an ipod touch. i already have 2 coach purses. the last time i got one though was a little after christmas. so i kind of want a new one. the coach purse i want is soooo adorable, its one of the new poppy ones.. all of those are so cute, actually. i really love coach, its like my favorite thing. but if i'm good and stuff, when my mom goes to buy herself a new purse, she will buy me one too.. so that's my reason why i'd rather have an ipod touch.
the only thing is, i'm not that obsessed with going on the computer. i mean i go on it, like once a day, but i don't know. what do you t...

What should I get for my boyfriend of ten months sister's birthday?
Posted Sunday June 28 2009, 9:38 pm
Okay. My boyfriend's sister, "A", is turning seventeen on July 13th. I've been with my bf for ten months and am always at his house, so I see her a lot. We aren't really close friends, but we're the same age. She has dyed my hair for me numerous times free of charge, and let me borrow money one time when I wanted to make a purchase. My birthday just passed and she didn't get me a gift, but she did decorate my ice cream cake. She doesn't really get gifts for even family members because she doesn't have much money. I want to get her something nice and am looking for ideas. I'm willing to spend up to thirty bucks. Her favorite color is green. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What should I write on a Father's Day card?
Posted Sunday June 21 2009, 1:36 am
My dad and I aren't close at all, but I don't want to be mean and just put "Happy Father's Day, Dad!" on the card I bought him. He is a decent guy, I guess, so he deserves SOMETHING to be written in the card from me. Anyone have any nice ideas? HELP!

One month
Posted Friday June 19 2009, 11:55 am
17/m. me and my girlfriend's one month anniversary is in a weeks time. Alot of websites say "dont get a one month present" or "theres no such thing as a one month anniversary", but she asked me what i wanted. And for some reason, around here, one month anniversary's are a big thing?
She told me that none of her relationships have lasted longer than three weeks (she's only had three boyfriends, me being 4th). I like her ALOT, so what can i get her? Jewelery is probabaly too much yes?
thanks a lot :D

How do I deal with a gift I simply don't like?
Posted Tuesday June 9 2009, 2:33 am
My nephew, who is 12-almost 13, decided to buy me a gift for my birthday. It was a great gesture and I really appreciate his efforts but I really am not sure what to do since I really hate the gift.
So, I am very into gardening (flowers) and my nephew bought me a metal statue of some flowers. The problem is that the artwork is very large and, well, absolutely hideous. The coloring doesn't really match with my home interior so it really stands out if I do choose to let guests view it.
I know he meant well but I really do not want to display this in my home. It's very unattractive. Should I tell him that I did not really enjoy the gift (maybe even allow him to have his money refunded?) or display the gift in...

My boyfriend and I are having our six month anniversary on Friday and I want to make him a mixed CD of songs to share with him. I don't really know what KIND of songs to put on the CD, let alone which specific songs.
Should I make a mix CD of love songs? My favorite songs? His favorite songs? What?!?! And...are there any SPECIFIC songs I should really add to the CD before I give it to him? Ugh, how in the world do I make the perfect mix CD? :\

Concert tix...to surprise or not to surprise?
Posted Tuesday May 19 2009, 5:48 pm
We're 21/f (me) and 23/m (him).
This is kinda random, I'm just looking for a few responses.
My guy and I have been through some hard times. He's had both physical and psychological difficulties, and he's just starting to come out of them. I'm having financial difficulties, but I decided that I was going to buy a pair of lawn seats for the Incubus concert coming up in July.
My initial idea was to tell him on the day of the concert to be ready by like, six or so, and that I had a surprise for him, then blindfold him when he gets into my car and drive him to the concert.
Problem is, it's about three weeks after his birthday...Because I'm so financially stretched right now, I don't think I...

Bestie's 17th birthday
Posted Tuesday May 12 2009, 4:30 pm
For my 17th birthday my best friend made a scrap book of our lives and she had a custom picture frame made that was engraved with our names and nick names for each other and they are the two most treasured things I own.
Now in June it'll be her 17th birthday and I am clueless as to what to get her. Last year I had her present planned out by January. And she's been through a lot this year and I really want to get her something special and at the end of the year I'll be moving out of state and might not be here for her next birthday.
A little about her:
she's the strongest person i've ever met
loves lacrosse
ben&jerry's ice cream
marine biology

2 year Anniversary gift ideas??
Posted Wednesday April 22 2009, 12:10 am
Okay, so my boyfriend and my 2-year anniversary is coming up. I am getting him a dc sweater. I think I might be writing some poetry about him too. I am not sure what to get him as he says he wants nothing for the 2 yr or he says he just wants me but I really want to get him something.
About him:
- He doesn't like chocolate
- He can't wear cheap gold/silver b/c it bugs his skin
- He has all of the cds of the bands he likes.
- Can’t do a scrapbook because he hates pictures and I don't have enough for a scrapbook.
- I’ve already bought him movies, clothes, etc.,
I will rate every response and thank you soooo much for your help!

A gift to a minor becomes an unexpected sale
Posted Friday March 20 2009, 8:59 am
Last summer when my niece turned 16 I gave her my car as a gift, as she was about to learn how to drive. It was 8 years old and had 120,000 miles on it, a perfect car for a young, new driver.
Now, partly because the economic collapse has made it a buyer's market, my brother and sister-in-law have decided to buy a new car. However they can't afford, for insurance purposes, the gifted car, which would now become a third car in their family. So with my niece's okay they decided to sell the car which I had given her as a gift.
My question is (not for legal reasons but regarding the etiquette of the situation) should I receive any money once the car is sold? I feel like I gave my niece a gift, the type of gift wh...
