what was i supposed to say?

my boyfriend and i went to a local concert and had a lot of fun, it was a really wonderful night.
he got a ride home with his friend and i drove myself home.
a few minutes after i got home he called me to tell me that his friend thought it would be funny to punch the gas while he was getting out of the car, so basically he fell and got his leg run over by one of the wheels and he says he has a purple gash on his leg now.
naturally i started freaking out, i mean he called me to tell me this and it sounds really serious. he said he could walk on it fine so i know it isn't broken. i started looking up how to treat leg wounds and asking him questions about it with legitimate genui...

Is it tacky to attend a New Year's Eve event alone?
Posted Saturday December 27 2008, 9:50 pm
I just moved to a new area (for my job). All of my friends and family are a great distance away from me now. A coworker here has invited me to a New Years Eve party that she is throwing. I don't want to show up alone but it seems like that's my only option if I am going to show up (which I do want to go to her New Year's Eve party as a friendly gesture).
I'm not dating anyone and have no male friends that would be suitable for a party of this sort that live nearby. I want to make a good impression at the party but I'm not sure if having a date (or not) influences that.
Do you think it's tacky (or pitiful/sad/overall bad) to go to a local New Year's Eve event by myself? I mean, can I go to a New Year's Eve...

My Mother's Ring
Posted Monday December 22 2008, 10:17 pm
My mother passed away 26 years ago. After her funeral, I gave her diamond engagement ring to my daughter, "Emma." Since then Emma has had two husbands and two more diamond rings, plus several others with various gemstones to match outfits. As far as I know, she has never worn my mother's ring.
I would like to spend my last years honoring my mother by wearing her ring. I am now 82. It would, of course, be returned to Emma when I die. Would it be all right to ask for that privilege?

She celebrates Hanukkah, but I do Christmas...

18/f
I'm in college, and I want to get my roommate something nice for the holidays because a lot of us are exchanging gifts. All of us, except for her, celebrate Christmas. She grew up in a Jewish household, so she celebrates Hanukkah.
Would it be okay to still get her a "holiday" gift. Would I just write Happy Hanukkah on the card?
We're doing a secret Santa, too. Should we invite her to participate or just leave it since she doesn't do Christmas?
What's the etiquette for that?

Handling embarresment?
Posted Sunday December 14 2008, 3:44 pm
How do you handle embarrassing situations? If someone says something that embarrasses/offends you either alone or in front of a crowd of people and its just too hard to laugh it off, how do you handle it?
I'm not good with witty comments and I hate when people know they've gotten to me. I'm at a loss, these awkward moments are starting to eat at me. Help?

I sold my boss a laptop and he turned it for profit.
Posted Wednesday December 10 2008, 9:36 pm
I don't know if this is the right forum or not , but ok here's what happened. I am the IT guy at a mid-sized company, and people perpetually beg me to get them ipods and laptops etc. because I run across great deals all the time. Well I ran across this sweet deal for a dell I don't recollect the model , but it had a nice dual core processor and 2 gb of ram and vista ultimate. I looked it up at the time and retail it was a $800 product. Well the person I bought it from is not a good business man and I always get ridiculous deals from him. I got this laptop for $200, and my boss was wanting it really badly so I sold it to him for my price.
A couple weeks later I come to find out that he just flipped it for profit. It really pisses me ...

Did I ask too much?
Posted Monday November 24 2008, 11:35 pm
I'm probably looking into this too much (as usual, lol), but here's the deal:
I sent a guy I know a message on facebook- he just joined the site a couple weeks ago. I haven't talked to him in several months, mainly to ask about applying to schools, etc. I sent him a random message asking him how he is, and if he had any feedback/advice on the application process, etc. I ended asking if it would be possible for him to look over a paper for me, whenever he could.
The thing is, it was sort of a long message, and as I mentioned, I haven't talked to him in a while (HE, being a friend of a friend who I thought could help out). So, he hasn't replied yet, but I'm getting the feeling that he either doesn't want to, or ...

Visible teacher tattoos... okay or not?
Posted Saturday November 22 2008, 11:22 am
This is probably better off answered by those in the "real world" or at least with real jobs...
Anyway, I'm 18 years old and I really want a tattoo... the tattoo I want is the word "love" and a heart on my wrist - it would be very small and nothing eccentric. Just black lettering and the outline of a heart. No color or anything.
The reason I want that tattoo is because I used to self-injure, and if you google "To Write Love on Her Arms", you'll understand.
My only problem with getting it is that I plan on going into teaching and I'm not sure how professional it would look to have a tattoo that I won't be able to cover up.
In all honesty, I'd rather get the tat...

they were so rude!
Posted Monday September 15 2008, 2:07 am
so last night was my first night at a new restarant job as a waitress. ive done waitressing before, so im experienced.
a group of 5 kids my age (19) walk in and they were my second table on my very first night. one of them recognized me as a classmate in the college i attend.
basically they gave me a hard time about EVERYTHING! when i put a soda down, they asked it to be switched to a different one, no ice, etc.
To make it worse, one of the dishes got sent back because they thought it was going to be like "chinese" chicken they claimed.
I could deal with that to an extent. But they left no tip! ? And this kid sits right next to me in a small class of like 7. How do i act around him? do i say ...

My boyfriend has a bad habit of always being on his iPhone. While out to dinner with friends, watching a movie, pretty much every where. I try to get him off of it and after I say something he will, but 30 mins later he'll get back on. What should I do? It gets pretty annoying him always playing with his iPhone :-\
