My girls are 1 year and 3 weeks apart. Every year we throw one large family/friends party at our house on a day that falls between our girls birthdays. On each girl’s actual birthday, we do a small-scale day catered to them, with immediate family.

This year my daughter wants to go to Chuck E Cheese. How do we invite grandparents and her closest cousins/parents to come hang out and have fun, but make it clear that if they come, they will need to pay for their own food/drinks/game tokens?? I'm not being cheep, I just can't afford to throw 1 HUGE dinner party (usually around 60 people come) and two small parties every year (grandparents and sister/brother-in-law+their kids come)

I learned the hard way last year, I was stuck with the bill at Chuck E. Cheese for $200.00 plus the large party costs on top of it. I'm not made of money!

How is the most polite way to tell immediate family they are welcome to come join, but pay their own way??

Thanks in advance! :)

or it is best to just try to forget about them? Stalking, while maybe not ideal, at least would get old after a while AND THEN I could more easily lose interest.

What do you think?

at back to school i always ask to spend around a thousand dollars total. my friend gemma only gets to spend two hundred and she said it was spoiled of me to even expect that much from my parents. but we always spend that much anyways, and really, its all relative. i dont think a thousand dollars for clothes that are to last into the winter (and if it still fits ill wear it next year) is a lot to spend. What do you think?

what would you think about a ten year old having a cell phone under these circumstances:

•Homeschooled yet socially active (so will be away from home more frequently)

•responsible

•ties up home phone line quite often

Would it be considered unethical to change?

It has been my opinion that this is an education, not a job. So, why would my current school consider it "unprofessional" or "unethical" to transfer with my fellowships to another school? Will it adversely affect my "reputation" to switch schools to finish my doctorate?

They say that if you fall out of a building or bridge, you die in the air before you hit the ground. Yet, if you sky dive, you fall not only farther, but much faster, yet your body is totally fine. Is it true death comes during the actual fall (out of a building)? And if so, why?

When I drink certain alcoholic beverages- like wine and wine coolers- I get bad stomach pain- a burning sensation that feels like my stomach is on fire- so severe that I cannot drink those type of drinks- does anyone else experience/ not experience this? I'd like to know whether this is unusual or not and also if anyone knows what causes it. Thanks!

I just took a test a few days ago and found out that I am pregnant. I am 5 weeks along today. I have noticed these pains for about two weeks now, they just started being more often. They are not canstant pains it comes when I get up or something. I guess moveing in a sertain way is what trigars it and it is a very sharp pain that last only a few seconds and it is on both sidesvery low...almost right by my legs. I dont know if this is bad or not. I have seen people say that your muscles are stretching and stuff but is there anything else that could be wrong?

Democrats have been promising universal health coverage for at least 30 years, and healthcare is more screwed up than ever.

They've promised to stick it to the corporations, who have become more powerful than ever.

They've promised for 40 years to clean up the environment which is now dirtier than ever.


Republicans have promised to reduce government, which is bigger than ever.

They promised to defend freedom from government intrusion, which is now all but a joke.

They said we wouldn't 'police the world' and here we are in two simultaneous lands, 'nation-building.'


Why does the majority of the voting population continue to vote for the same old thing when they all claim to want change? Has propaganda become so refined, have our attention spans become so short, or is it just that history is not valued or understood?

Can an individual eliminate credit card debt by declaring bankruptcy? I didn't think you could wipe it out, just get the bill collectors off your back. But, someone told me that it depends on which chapter of bankruptcy you use. The right one WILL eliminate credit card debt. I know someone who has $80,000 in credit card debt and they are trying to do that to get rid of that debt! Is it really possible? Are there any restrictions in doing this. Can you ever get a credit card again if you do it?
