Background: Every year my mom has a family get-together with all her kids, grandkids, etc. For the last 4 years my brother hasn't gone. He says he'll be there and not shown up. Although it's bugged her, my mom won't say anything to him because she knows he won't tell her the reason he's not going. In the past 11 months, my sis-in-law has lost a daughter and been diagnosed with a disease that has a terrible prognosis.
She told me but made me promise not to tell my mom. The problem is, my mom wants to call sis-in-law and confront her about not coming to the family event. I told her that considering what she's been thru, she doesn't need the added stress. My mom knows she's sick but not full picture.
I have honored my sis-inlaw's request but I'm afraid my mom (who isn't known for her sensitivity) will regret confronting her. She may not even make it to Christmas with the diagnosis she's been given and I'm sure my mom will regret laying this guilt trip on her. Please, no rude answers.

my dad is always wanting to know what I am doing. Like when I'm online he'll try to read my e-mail and stuff. He won't let me go anywhere or have anybody over. He grounds me for no reason. He also yells at me non-stop too. What makes it even more confusing is that I haven't done anything wrong to lose his trust.

I have this new betta I got from walmart. It seems pretty happy. Its got bubbles all over the waters surface. One day I've looked at his biggest fin ( the one at the back ) and it looked like it was missing little parts. It also had a small red outline that looked a lot like blood. Is he bititng his fins because of malnutriteon? ( I feed him 4-5 pellets every day). Whats up?

I'm so addicted to Everybody Loves Raymond. I've been watching it everyday, avidly for a few months now. I think Frank is definitely the funniest but for some reason Marie's my favorite.

My husband and I got married a few months ago in a private ceremony (you could say we eloped) we just did not want any one to know till afterwards especially my son. Now I would like to celebrate our wedding by having a reception and setting up a gift registry. I had a friend said I could not do this after the fact, but I don’t see the problem allowing us to formally be introduced to friends and family and having a reception like any one normally would. We just choose this method because it worked better for us and did not want the family to make a fuss, since we have both been married 2 times before we wanted something, sweet, simple and outside in the woods and it was beautiful. Any help and or suggestions would be really appreciated.

thanks!

My fiance is in the OK National Guard. He is also about to start finaly semester of college (scheduled to graduate in December). I was wondering if there was any way to petition for a deferrment or exemption because he's still in college or for some other reason. We're getting married in a month and they are trying to deploy/mobilize him the week after we get married.
