Voting Question: Should I start school on monday?

I have two kids (5 years and a 3 months) a live in boyfriend (of 5 years), a home, a car and grown up bills. I enrolled in a tech school a couple of months ago, and a couple of weeks ago my ex boss retired and handed me his business for a great deal. I am (for now) the only one runing the store and my hours run me from Monday to saturday from 10am to 8pm. I was thinking to hire an ex coworker and go to school monday from 8am to 6pm, weds and thurs 8am-10:30 am. The Bussiness now runs great and makes very good profit, but it is a tiny store and you never know what can happen. I think it would be great to have a back up plan.... What do you think? PS- My boyfriend is working night shift so he has been able to take great care of the kids. He picks them up from daycare and basicly is the mommy.

Voting Question: Wedding with momma drama... Do we have the wedding we want or elope for good measure?

It's a long story but, FH's mom has been the source of a lot of heartache in his life. First, she started off by telling him his stepdad was his real dad only for him to find out when he was 5 that his real dad had been in the Navy in Japan and was unable to look him until the end of his Japanese tour. (FH's dad only joined the Navy to pay off FH's mom's debts... she then divorced him because she was literally sleepy of not being able to buy whatever she wanted as perhis rules so he could pay off her debt... She has told me this herself.) As FH was growing up, his mom used him as a way to receive extra money aside from childsupport from his dad when his mom would not even buy him clothes when he needed (FH's dad had already paid off the debt, even though they had gotten divorced.) They spent several years living with FH's mom's several different boyfriends and watching her become a massive alcoholic (which she still is today.) She bought FH a car that he had to work for. When we started dating and I got a job, I started paying her for the car. She then sold the car. As an adult, we often stayed the night together. His mom decided to toss him out one particular night after he stayed the night with me so we could go shopping for his younger brother's 13th birthday. She proceeded to harass me on my cell phone and at work (just, for no real reason) and tell us both we were not allowed at the home (at home that does not belong to her but to her mom.) Needless to say, FH lives with me and has for a long time. And his mom had not contacted him in every that time until last week. Basically saying "I adore you and want to know how you're doing" he basically said (in nicer words I'm sure) "I'm writing a term paper, leave me alone." She then contacted him on Thursday to let him know that his younger brother's dad was in the hospital after having had a stroke. The only two contacts he's had from her. Now we are planning on getting married and we are unsure of what to do. Family is family no matter what. He wants his mom at our wedding (if we have one) and I do as well... Obviously, she wouldn't be a part of the planning, that's going to be between my FH, my mom, and myself. Our biggest worry is that she will either not arrive which would hurt my FH very badly, she will not allow his younger brother to arrive to which would hurt him worse and be unforgivable, or that she would some sort of hijinks and upset him. FH and I both want a wedding but if we have one, I'm afraid we'll be on edge the entire time. We've flirted with the idea of hiring some security that way, if there is a problem, it can be taken care of without a huge amount of ruckus. But it's my wedding, and that seems a bit weird. Our other option is to elope, but we really want a wedding... So, what do we do? Trying2Bnice: how is he the wrong guy just because his mom can't behave? That's not his fault. Messykatt: I'm 23, he'll be 23 on March 14... not sure why that is relevant... Anyway, he's stood up to her several times for me. We want to invite her because we don't want to regret it and we are inviting his brother and grandmother, his mom lives with her mom so she would find out. That would be a HUGE amount of drama. She already says I control him (no matter whether he denies it or not) and she could easily use this to her advantage in making the relax of the family think I do so. That's my reason for inviting her. He wants to invite her because he feels it's the right thing to do and she is his mom after every.

Resolved Question: Stag & doe AND separate bachelor and bachelorette parties?

I agreed to be the Matron of Honour at my friends wedding in December. She recently sent out an email explaining every of the functions she expects me and the bridesmaids to plan and participate in - bridal shower, gown & accessory shopping, wedding-related crafts, bachelorette party AND stag & doe party. I don't know if this is a new trend or what but I always thought you had one or the other. Not both. A stag & doe is a huge event that takes up a lot of time and money to plan. We need a hall, we need to sell tickets, buy booze, organize games and prizes, hire a DJ, etc, etc. I think it's a little greedy to want that and then also expect us to take her out for a bachelorette party too. Granted, she doesn't want to do anything elaborate but that's besides the point. What's the consensus? Also, the bride wants every of the events (shower, bachelorette, stag & doe) to take place in HER town because that's where the majority of guests live but I (and every of the other bridesmaids) live an hour and half away by car. As a result planning every of this is going to be extra tough to start with. I just feel like she's asking a lot of us. What do you think?

Resolved Question: does this seem like a fair price for wedding photography?

Based on the information you provided, below is my recommended coverage for your wedding photography. In thanking you for your consideration, I have applied deep discount on the pricing. Also, I waved the travel expenses and the design fee for the DVD slideshow. I have a couple of weddings to shoot in April and May. I would ask you to wait and look how your engagement photos arrive out and the wedding photos I take in April and May to decide if you want to hire me for your wedding photography or not. ^_^ $840 (70% off original price of $2800) v Pre-event consultation v 8~10 hours photography for getting ready, ceremony, portraits, and reception v Unlimited photography during time hired v Assistant / second photographer v Online image proof v Images with retouching and artistic effects v High resolution images on CD with personal rights v DVD wedding slideshow with music this person is a professional portait photographer just starting out in weddings. She is doing our engagement photo session for free this monday, giving us a photo dvd with personal rights for printing. What do you think?? I fear that almost 900 for someone with very limited wedding experience is sorta steep. I hate the idea of bargaining with someone over their "craft" (i feel its a lot different to bargain for a car, home etc.) however I cant help but think man, almost a grand on someone who hasnt really got any experience seems crazy

Resolved Question: What should we do in BC / Pacific Northwest USA?

My family (we're Australian) will be in Victoria, BC for a wedding early next August. There are 5 of us, my dad (61), my brother (33), my husband (42), myself (36) and our daughter who will be 11 months old. We'll have two hire cars between us and want to spend 4-5 days together as a family in the week following the wedding, but not sure what would best suit our travel requirements and diverse interests. My dad and brother are both keen fishermen, while my husband and I would prefer a wider range of activities, and obviously our daughter won't cope with too much long-distance driving. Only my dad has ever spent any time in the USA previously, and we every appreciate spectacular scenery and interesting culture, food & wine etc. Should we head up into the Canadian Rockies for a few days, or is that too far to steer? Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions for spending time in Washington State and/or Oregon? Thanks in anticipation!

Resolved Question: What do you think of my first short chapter?

The story is going to be called weddings, funerals, and other miseries. I'm fifteen, I aced my English test last week and I've only edited this chapter once. Chapter one. It was another wet night for Alex, he locked up the store, combed his slick, black hair and began to bike his way home, just like he did every other night. Alex had worked at the local music store for the past five years now, he got hired when he was fifteen by his Dad, who ran the store, and now Alex was in management; His parents died in a tragic accident, they were driving home from another wedding, for some reason his family liked weddings, funerals, any annoying gathering that forces misery or happiness onto everyone there. Of course, they were drunk. Driving by the cliffs close his seaside home, his dad swerved from the edge into the deep blue below them, the car wasn’t found for another two weeks, every that was left from each person was half a decaying corpse, Alex didn’t talk about this much, he hated it. The funeral was like any other, the same lot always arriving, one man arrived who Alex had never seen before, the man left before the wake when he was hoping he would be able to introduce himself. Alex moved into a new apartment, the depression of riding past the cliffs every day antagonized him, it made him more pissed off to be upset, that he would forget about being upset. Alex sat on his bed in his foggy, green swamp of a bedroom, and opened his draw where he kept every the savings he had, as well as his “special pal”. He pulled out a bag of white powder and walked into his living room. He poured some coke onto the glass coffee table that he lost his virginity on and began his favorite part, pulling out the razorblade and making fine lines, pouring out some wine to drink between lines. He was ready to snort the chemicals deep into his system. He rolled up a ten pound note and bent over the table, sniffing up line by line until he had finished three. He gulped down his blood red wine, tipped the relax of his Charlie into the bag and rolled up a joint. He turned on his old television and put on some Saturday morning cartoons, that was the odd thing about cocaine, Alex could stay up every night, and even weed wouldn’t tire him. He would stare at the walls then, just to end the high on a subtle note, watch some cartoons, baked out of his mind, sinking deeper into the sofa. There was a knock at the door “Rent money…rent money…rent money!!” Alex leapt into his bedroom and grabbed the one hundred pound for this week. He opened the door to look an old lady, somewhere in her eighties: purple hair, too much make up, curlers in. “Her you go Mrs. Wench. every one hundred, I adore your red hair today.” Alex always gave her a compliment, just so she wouldn’t receive annoyed with him and decide to search the flat. She always preferred having her hair called red, even she doesn’t know why, the crack around her lips looked like various canals leading into a big look of red lipstick. “Oh fuck off you little shit, I know what you’re up to!” ”And a nice day to you too, Mrs. Wench!” He called after her on her way down the corridor.

Resolved Question: Air Force and family?

Okay, so i am 18 years old and have really nothing going on with my life. I have currently finished part time with a government job. I have always wanted to be a part of something. Wanted to be a cop for a while then a paramedic or flame fighter. But where i live it is almost impossible. Everything is in a hire freeze. I have thought difficult and deeply about the military and my papaw has always told me that everybody should go in at least for 2 yrs. Just a week ago my papaw died from pancreatic cancer and my family is having a difficult time. Everything is so confusing right now and not sure what to do. I have graduated high school and have a clean background. My High scool gpa is a 3.0 and i have been accepted in many colleges. But I want to enlist in the air force probably just for 4 yrs maybe 6. My dad is having a rough time right now cause of papaw and i am to. I don't think he understands that but I am. But I want to enlist. I go Wed to the recruiter and my mom and sister is going with me. Dad is too but he said it was stupid and a waste of time. He said he is going to wait in the car. He owns a big business with tractors and heavy equipment and wants me to take it over. I told him I will after the Air Force but he said if i go in he is going to sell it every. I really do not like working with that nice of stuff but it does make good money. But i still want to enlist and go with the air force. My question is what could i tell him before i go to make him understand. He has to know that I will arrive back and take it over but just to wait for me. Im not ready for it. Plz no negative feedback and nobody tell me to not hear to my parents. I am 18 but I do respect them. I dont want to go in having him mad at me.

Voting Question: SPEEDING TICKET in MI?

Hi guys,, so my family was heading to Troy (my bro was driving) and I guess he went over 13 miles on a 70mph freeway. He got a speeding ticket and he ended up receiving 2 points, which was his first time. The cop said he can either pay directly on-line or sign up for a court. But we are not sure what to do.. we asked many of our friends and they recommended him look the judge and ask to erase points from his records. we're willing pay whatever he needs to pay ($150) but his only 16 so the insurance will increase for 3 years until his points receive rid of itself automatically after 3 years of safe driving w/no ticket. we're not thinking about hiring a lawyer because it costs money to do that so what's the point of paying lawyer and paying the ticket? on the back of the ticket he received, it says: guilty, guilty with explanation, and not guilty should he go for guilty with explanation? and tell the judge that he was trying to pass this car front of him and he was tardy for the community service at the church in downtown? In addition, what should he expect? I mean I heard that it's practically a lose case if the officer decides to show up. and also to sign up for court, does he just calls the number located on the ticket? and tell them what? that he wants to appeal to reduce his points? also if he goes to the court, what should he say? should he ask to go to a traffic school? Alright, I need help by this wed!!!!! oh yeah, Thanks in advance guys and p.s don't speed :)

Voting Question: I Need to LAND this job, bridal consulting.?

This will sound completely crazy. and it is. I live with my boyfriend- we have 3-3 1/2 years to keep up money to move currently we are in debt so we are negative $ there are also hardly any jobs so he works for a family member making $25/day when they need him: we cant pay our $500 rent, but now we can eat. We had a car-but it died...so were getting another car with my parents help--1 car. just 1. His plan, since we're far from anything corporate, is to go about and hr away for a job that may pay well working form 8-5 so he'd have to leave around 6-7 depending on traffic. Also I need a job to help keep up this money of course, and when we finally move I plan to use the schooling (which im currently doing) to possibly start a event planning Business or work in an already established one-not sure yet. However I need to start getting my feet wet now as i will never learn every that i need, and receive the experience i need to do this without getting evolved at the bottom. One other problem: my experience (on a resume) = about 0 . I worked at mcds when i was 14. I did volunteer at a Senior Citizens home (doing everything from serving lunch, crafting with Alzheimer patients, and planning activities with the coordinator) for a year from 9am-9pm, i worked as a waitress for about a month or two. besides those little things I really have nothing on my resume, and since im going to school i have no degrees to fluff it up. So Here is my Crazy Plan:: 1. Where ever my bf lands a job I follow and hit the streets/buses (as he will have that 1 car) looking for nearby wedding planning, bridal shops and the like 2. I go in and talk to a manager for a job, any job coffee getting-trash taker outer, any job and the chance to learn how to be a bridal consultant. So im working as a lackey whileapprenticingg. 3. I find the local parks and eateries so that if i don't start work till 11am i have somewhere to go and something to do from 8-11 since I hitched a ride with my boyfriend. then if im done at 3-4 and hes still working till 5pm i have book stores, possibly malls, and places to go plus the fact that i will probably have to walk to them every hitching buses in between and im sure that will take up some times.. but i figure the pay off is that we have enough money to move in the 3 years, we can receive a home and start where we want to be...as we currently live no where close where we'd like to be... SO what im asking is any ideas on how tconvincece the manager of said stores to hire me (when they think im crazy) since i have really no helpfuexperienceses??

Resolved Question: Corrupt Christian Evangelisation International Church. Rev. Dr Leslie Mary Trombly continues to hire con man?

Abp Paul Baker has proved himself to be a liar, a cheat, a con man and a sponger. Yet although his boss Rev dr Leslie Mary Trombly knows this she is glad to continue to hire him, saying that we have no right to be annoyed with him, not trust him and not forgive him. What has he done? He was drummed out of his previous church because of money "disappearing". He has had other churches refusing to deal with him because when they did in the past he would refuse to pay his bills or overcharge. He has borrowed huge amounts of money from parishioners and businesmen, insisting that he needs it desperately, but never pays any of it back, and spends it on cars, a boat, golf club and great holidays!!! He is married yet he proposed to a lady, got engaged to her, organised a wedding with her and a honeymoon with her and virtually moved in with her for EIGHT YEARS and this only ended because she ended it. This man is a sociapath with no care for others. He lies to God and uses God. He lies to his wife and uses her as a cover, if he had left her to be with the other lady he could not have continued with his Church work. He lied to this other lady and the many people he "borrowed" money from. The town he lived in until recently has hounded him out of the town. This man is English and living in England where cheating and stealing are considered disgusting. When it is an Archbishop it is far worse. By allowing him to stay in this church, with this history, this church is corrupt and cannot be trusted. Would you trust this man with your money? Would you believe anything he says?

Resolved Question: what do you guys think about my sims 3 story?

I got bored today, so i wrote this story off of some ghost sims i downloaded today. What do you guys think? this is the story: I’m Lilean, (pronounced Lillian). I like to be called Lile (pronounced Lilly), but my mom calls me Lilean. I am eight years old, and this is my story. I live at 1246 Cloverdale Lane in Sunnyview, Virginia. It is only my mom, my sister and I. When my mom met my dad, it wasn’t “adore at first sight.” No, not at every. My mom was loveable and nice to my dad, but really, she was a mean, old gold digger. My mom flirted with my dad. My dad flirted back. At first, he rejected my mom. He sensed something a bit wrong, but my mom reassured him, and told him there was nothing to worry about. The two soon became boyfriend and girlfriend. They got married the next week. Of course, knowing my mom, there was a big, flashy wedding at the Old Pier Beach. My mom wore a big white dress, and my dad wore a traditional black tuxedo. My parents had some friends arrive by, but that’s about it. That night, they conceived me. My mom’s real goal in life was to become wealthy, and have a daughter. When she found out she was pregnant with me, she was ecstatic. She could not wait to have a daughter. Right then and there, she decided to name me Lilean Kassidy Amethyst. Now, here’s a little background information on my mom. When her and my dad met, they were human. One night, they were on their way driving to Hogan’s Deep-pal Diner to eat dinner. They got into a car accident, and both died. When the Grim Reaper came to collect their souls, he gave them another chance to live, as ghosts. My mom loved the idea that she got to live, but hated the fact that she was a ghost. She so badly wanted to be a human mom with a human daughter. She didn’t want to be a ghost because she knew that she would be hated amongst the world for being different. And she was right. Every time my mom went outside, she had some haters arrive by and hate on her for being different. She went to the hospital the next day, and talked to the doctor. He said that now that she herself was a ghost, there was a 25% chance that I, too, would be a ghost myself. My mom went home, furious. She decided that she would be on bed relax herself until I was born, because that was her way of coping. She thought that somehow, by being in bed for nine months, the chance of being me being a ghost would decrease, or go away completely. She had my dad bring her EVERYTHING she needed. needy dad. My mom decided to go out to the grocery store to receive some watermelons to eat, to ensure that I was a girl. She had her mind set on me being a human, rather than a ghost. When she got home, she scarfed down the watermelons. Not too long after that, while laying in bed, she went into labor. She decided to stay at home, and try to deliver naturally. She had many long, painful contractions, but eventually, I was born. She held me, took a deep breath, and looked down. Wrong move. She dropped me and screamed for my dad. “What, what, what is it?!” My dad screamed. “Our daughter is a GHOST!” My mom was, once again, furious. “So what?” “So what? SO WHAT?! Are you kidding me?! Our daughter is an ugly ghost, just like me.” My mom started crying. “What’s so bad about her being a ghost? Maybe she will be as beautiful as you.” My dad was trying his hardest to be comforting. “Everything. I wanted our daughter to be a normal human, who had everything I never had. Money. And if she is a ghost, no one will want to hire her, and I don’t want to take care of her. At every. I will do everything I need to to receive a normal human daughter, no matter how many pregnancies I go through.” She was dead set on that. “Um, honey I don’t mean to break it to you, but I’m only gonna want to have SO many kids. And they aren’t every gonna be girls...” “Just…. Just…. Just take Lilean and leave me alone. I don’t wanna look her ugly ghost body.” My mom was depressed, so much so that my dad was thinking about checking her into the hospital to make sure she didn’t do any hurt to herself. My dad took me out of the room, and put me in a crib in my room. My room was big, pink, fluffy, and everything I could want. But not for long. I fell asleep, and the next day my room was completely different. I was asleep on the floor, in a smaller room, with un-painted walls and un-done floors. It was a scary sight. My dad was off trying to receive a job. I started crying, because I am only a couple of days old, and hungry. My mom came in with this bad look on her face, like something bad was going to happen and she would like it. She picked me up, and shook me a little. Not enough to kill me, but enough to make me sob. She started yelling at me, and pinching me. My mom took me downstairs, and shoved a bottle in my mouth. I didn’t know any better, so I drank it. The next thing I know, I am in my dad’s arms. He walks over to my mom and says, “What happened to Lilean? Has she been sleeping every day?” “No.

Resolved Question: Baby Shower question..no rude answers, people w/ SIDS,etc.experience if possible please?

I am currently expecting my 3rd child, a daughter, in July. I had my 2nd, a son almost 2 years ago. I had my first child, which was also a girl, almost 5 years ago. When I was expecting her, a lot of people around me had girl clothes and things they were needing to receive rid of, so I had clothes from newborn up through roughly at least age 3. I also got a car seat, etc., as well as some new things from my baby shower(we didn't find out my first daughter was actually a girl until I was 7 mos., as my first OB during a not even 4 mo. ultrasound told us she was a boy, so we had to tell everyone the weekend before my shower that the sex was different than what was on the registry). My first daughter passed away from SIDS at almost 3 months of age. After her death, I put every the clothes that had been in the hamper when she died in a sealed storage container. My MIL & BIL w/ out my permission opened this container up & took out many of the items in it, as well other articles I had packed elsewhere. As a result, I only have a very tiny amount of her clothes left. She had also worn every of the 0-3 months clothes there were. The few I have left are ones that I had to hide after I discovered the others missing that were very dear to me, & I nor my husband really feel comfortable putting our DD on the way in these outfits, as it would really upset us emotionally. Also as a result, we have no 0-3 month girl clothes, nor any receiving blankets, etc.(none of the newborn stuff- my MIL also swiped a bunch of my sons stuff when SIL, her other DIL was expecting w/o my permission-we used to live w/ them, but don't anymore-including the frame stroller I had for DS's car seat, not to mention every the things that the caregiver MIL hired to watch GMIL stole for her DIL; this CG also stole some of my husbands things, and we later found out she was a crackhead-wish I could say I was joking here). We have a car seat and stroller combo that is neutral colored that we have from our son, as well as a baby bathtub, a play mat, and a couple of neutral colored onesies, but that is about it. Both my husband & I are also out of work, which has made getting the stuff we need a lot harder. SIL, the other DIL, had 6 baby showers for her baby, including one that was hosted by DH's aunt(who couldn't be bothered to show up at the one for my first child, & only showed up for my second child's b/c it was hosted as an event to keep the family left in town from BIL and SIL's wedding occupied the day after, after most of the family left early the morning of the shower). I was expected to show up at every of these w/ at least a $40 gift each time at MIL & to a degree SIL's(who is much better s off than us;she and BIL have 3 cars, a home, excellent jobs w/ excellent pay & benefits, & still have the money to go out & eat at nice restaurants every night as well) insistance, & DH and I have not had that nice of money for awhile. I had also hear "Oh needy SIL, she needs the help" after buying or having to receive every of my childrens clothing and things myself. My MIL doesn't even ask about our little one on the way(& I am going on 6 months), esp. since she found out we are having a girl. She doesn't ask how I am doing or anything either. My husband mentioned to her recently that we needed some things for the baby, as we also recently discovered some of the stuff we got w/ DS had been recalled/pulled off shelves due to safety recently & needed to be replaced. She said nothing & ignored him. My parents have been out of the picture for awhile(my mom is mentally sick- she told people that my husband & I killed our first child, as well as threatened to "do everything in her power" to take away any future kids we had, as well as other unsavory comments-she stopped talking to me after I disputed her claim w/ DD#1's DC as well as my son being a glad healthy toddler. She forbade my DF & sisters from talking to me.). every of my other family lives out of town;every of our friends are too busy w/ their possess lives/kids to bother hosting a shower. Even sans gifts, I would just like to have a receive together, something to know someone other than my husband & I are excited about our little girl on the way & something to celebrate her impending arrival. I know it goes against the proper way of doing things for me to host my possess shower, but it is the only way I look one of any nice occurring. What should I do? *sorry this is so long*

Resolved Question: would it be possible to do a wedding on this budget?

I would adore to be able to do mine and my other half's wedding on a budget of £2500. We would like a church wedding and then hire a function hall and have a buffet for the reception. For cars we can use my dad's mercedes, the guest list would be about 60-70 people (10-15 being kids). Do you think this is possible, maybe if we did the catering ourselves? My partner is Danish and it is very common for them to do buffets for celebrations so maybe they can help if they arrive to england for our wedding. My boyfriend keeps saying we can't afford a wedding but i want to prove to him that we can. The wedding would be in england so weather is quite unpredictable so outside options probably won't be a sensible option

Resolved Question: Gift for a wedding after attending your wedding. Poll?

Ladies, I would like your insight on an hypothetical situation loosely based on some one's reality: Couple A had their wedding on a nice venue. Some of the attendants flew across the country as the wedding was at the couple's hometown. The couple wanted the attendants every together, so everyone stayed on the hotel of the couple's choice. Between tuxedo rentals, airfare, hotel accommodations, meals, tips, rental car, showers and a very expensive wedding gift, attendant B spends around $2000 for the couple's A wedding, including a $250 wedding gift and many, many hours of manual labor. Now it is couple's B time to receive married a year or so after couple A. Couple B hosts a lovely wedding and makes one of couple A an attendant as well. Couple's B wedding is just as nice as couple's A. Travel is also necessary for couple A to attend couple's B's wedding, but no manual labor/help/cleanup/set up is needed as couple's B had hired staff to do that. Now, it is time for gifting. Couple's A received $250 as wedding gift from Couple B on their wedding and many hours of labor. **Neither couple is strapped for cash. As now couple A has to gift couple B, couple A should: 1- Gift a gift of comparable value as theirs. It is the polite thing to do, besides, they helped you on your wedding and their contribution was invaluable. Besides, since I'm an attendant to their wedding, I would gift the best that I could of course. 2- I would give what I can afford, but definitely would do my best to receive as close as possible to their generous gift only a year ago. I can gift $200 and will happily do so. 3- That was my wedding, this is theirs. If they chose to gave me an expensive gift, that's on them. I will give whatever I normally gift on weddings, $100. What would you do? Which option would you pick? Thanks They are good friends. Yep, another option 4- I can afford it, so I will gift them $300. They helped me a great deal on my possess wedding. I will look good as well.

Resolved Question: Survivor's Benefits + Marriage?

This will be a long one... Not sure though below what category I should of posted this question. I lived with my American dad since tardy 2005 in Las Vegas, my parents divorced sometime in 2000. My dad remarried to a friends Hungarian ex-wife so that she can receive a green card in January of 2008. They never lived together, I continued to live with my Dad from January of 2008 till June of 2008. No one told me about the marriage. Not my Dad or my half-brother or anyone else for that matter, I was left in the dark. I learned much later that my Dad was mad at her because they agreed that if they married, she would pay him a monthly sum of money, she stopped paying though. From July and onwards I lived with my grandparents, I heard the news that my Dad had died in a car accident in early December 2008. When I figured out who was married to my Dad, I remember seeing her in Las Vegas when I was with my dad. We visited them (the lady and her ex-husband and two of her kids) several times throughout 2007 and 2008. I'm 18 years old and at this time I'm still in high school receiving survivors benefits, currently living with my half-brother in California. I'm guessing (because the social security office won't tell me a thing) that the other two kids of the lady are getting the benefits too. I could be getting much more of the benefits if my Dad wouldn't have married her. My mom received my mail from the social security office, checks and anything else from the ss office (although I've called once before several months ago to change my mailing address). I drove to mothers apartment last night to pick up the letters and I received one that said: '"Effective 05/2009 additional auxiliaries were entitled to benefit's on (name)'s record... When we have a limit on how much we can pay on each person's Social Security record. If You Disagree With The Decision Please tell us within 10 days of the date of this letter (March 3rd) if you disagree with the decision. You will also need to give us any proof that your benefits should not be reduced. If you let us know within 10 days that you disagree with the decision, we will not reduce your checks. We will continue to pay you while we review the case to look if you are right. However, if you are wrong we will ask you to pay back any money you received that was not due. If we do not hear from you within 10 days, we will reduce your checks. We will send you another letter at that time with more information about our action." I'm going early morning on Monday to the social security office in Santa Clarita, by then of course it would be too tardy, but I'm still going to battle for my money since they failed to change my mailing address. I need proof though that they shouldn't make a reduction in my benefits. The only things I have at this time is: A phone number of a pal of my Dad's who knew about the wedding and the green card issue,and an address where the lady lives in Las Vegas with the same ex-husband and two kids (my mom hired a private investigator). I have absolutely no idea whats going to happen now, but I'm thinking I won't be able to cease this reduction from occurring. I don't think its illegal to marry for a green card but it would be nice to have the women deported back to her country of origin so that I can receive every of the money which is rightfully mine. Is there anyway of doing this? If not is there anything I can do so that the social security office will cease reducing the amount of money I'm receiving monthly?

Resolved Question: Question MO Labor Laws!?

To make a long story shorter. When i was hired it was a condition upon employment i had a company car to steer during work hours. Just recently they gave my car to a new employee because he did not have one at every. They decided that I would have to use my possess car ( i do not want too) they said they would pay me 35 cents a mile and i disagreed, while i did it for a couple of days, I went to the GM and said I don't think this is fair. the Govt allows 50 cents. I said i will take 45 while u try and receive me a new car and the deadline is Wed. I said if u cant do that I will just arrive in and do phone support and work around the store ( my job includes both and field support). Well, Wed came and they wouldn't budge. I said i would then just stay in the office. He said that was unacceptable and told me to pack my bags. Is this Legal? I have been at this company for over a year and its problem after problem. Not Salary employee and do not pay travel time for training either! Please Help I know its a lot! 10 points to best Thanks in advance As I understand what u every our saying.

Resolved Question: Could I have PPD? When to consult a doctor for help?

I have a 7 week old daughter who I adore more than anything in the world. It was an unplanned pregnancy which led to a shot gun wedding (but fortunately I do adore my husband very much and would have married him either way :) ) During my pregnancy I lost my job and being pregnant makes it almost impossible for someone to hire you. I am breast feeding so that is an added stress. I dont know if Im experiencing PPD because it seems on and off. One week I will be crying every day and just feel like Im going crazy. My anxiety gets to where I just cant snooze. I receive paranoid when it comes to my husband for no good reason. Last week was definitly the peak that scared me. We were in the car and I was breastfeeding her in a target parking lot and I just went from feeling completely overwhelmed to empty and just wanting to run away. But then other days I feel I can handle it more but I have to really work at keeping my emotions below control and I havent felt really glad except for when Im holding my baby. Could this just be depression and stress or post partum depression?

Resolved Question: Am I an independent contractor or am I being taken advantage of?

A few months ago I was hired by this family to care for their elderly mom. they told me they needed someone three days a week Mon, Tue, Wed, from 5am-2pm. nine hours per day. they made me sign an agreement stating that I am an independent contractor and that they would not take taxes out of my check and I was responsible. - when I am paid the check comes from the mom's personal account. When I am running tardy I am required to call the son to inform. If I need a day off I must call the son to receive clearance. This is not sitting well with me because it seems they hired me. told me what hours and days they needed me, and expect me to be there those hours, yet they are not paying into my social security tax, medicare, unemploymnt, nor are they providing workmens comp in case I am injured in her home. I am also required to pass medications to her although I am not a nurse and to transport her in her car without being placed on her insurance. I think they may be taking advantage of me. How do I find out if this is legal?

Resolved Question: Things to do in Scarborough, QLD? Also Morgan's Seafood?

Hi There We are going to be staying in Scarborough for a few days over the first weekend in March, 1 day is taken up by a wedding we're attending, but we have 2 free days to do what we'd like. We'll have a hire car. Just wondering if there are any "Must dos" to make the most of our 2 days there? Also, Morgan's Seafood (Takeaway) is it as good as the hype or are we better off to go elsewhere for one night out?

Resolved Question: Hire car from Boston (not as simple as it sounds)?

I'm an Australian citizen (25+) wanting to hire a car for 8 days from Boston MA (returning to same). We will be driving into Canada for most of the trip (New Brunswick to be exact) to attend a wedding. My partner (also 25+) has dual citizenship US/Aus, though he lives in Australia. Who would be the best people to hire a car from in our circumstances? Ie. Best to deal with, cheapest etc. International drivers licences are no problem. Thanks.

Resolved Question: Ramadan ~ SubhanAllah! do we realize that Sikhs are putting us to shame?

I've seen several Sikh weddings and I think they are conducted really nicely. They go to their place of worship, when they enter they go into Sujood, they keep their hair covered and basically the whole ceremony is nice and calm. It's very much a religious occasion for them. Now compared to the Muslim weddings nowadays, they put us to shame. At these so called Muslim weddings, they hire grand cars, book a posh venue, the guys and girls are every together, music blaring, disco lights beaming, the guys and girls getting on stage performing dance routines, the girls are dressed like tarts, dancing and shaking their hips..... if you were to walk in there, you wouldn't be able to tell whether it's a Muslims wedding or Hundu wedding. It's shocking. It's a disgrace. InshaAllah I will live, die and be raised again as a believing servant of Allah SWT, but after seeing every this, I would much rather attend a Sikh wedding ceremony that the ones that Muslims have nowadays. What are your thoughts?? (please star the Q. Alot of people need to open their eyes)
