We are invited with family to a 1st birthday party. The host is a collegue from work, but my family and I don't know him very well. But got to go. It is at an upscale restaurant, but no entertainment planned for the kids. More like lots of their family from around the country gathering plus some other guests invited too.

My 9 yr does not know any of the kids, and they are likely to be mostly under 5, or boys. Would it be ok if she reads a book for part of the time? I mean at times other than eating, little bit of introduction to others, cake cutting? I so don't want to see a looong face or visual "I am bored" signals sent my way the whole time? Its weird, but the hosts would feel bad if we just didn't take her...or only stopped by for a short while, so those options are ruled out.

What is this thing they have with being toothpick thin?And,it's always the same female celebrities day in & day out,Britney Spears, Paris Hilton,Lindsay Lohan,Angelina Jolie.Even though I work as a cashier in a local supermarket and see them all on the covers of all the gossip magazines we sell every day,I don't buy them because I consider them a waste of money and time .But, those magazines have been around for years.
But,what's this ridiculous preoccupation they have with not eating and being too thin?Do they like being "hounded & harassed" by paparazzi?Do they like the negative publicity that they get?Why do they even have any audiences?What's the deal?

I have a daughter in law that I treat like gold. She is mean to me and now my son has turned on me and my husband. She is so nasty that she got into a road rage fist fight. She tells me she hates people and is very hateful. She keeps me from seeing my grandchildren and now my son is acting like her. We get along with everyone--trust me it's not us. My husband tried to talk to my son, but he brushes him off. My son is spoiled and always had a bad disposition. I love my grandchildren so much and I am heartbroken. I have friends that have similiar situations like us, but it doesn't help. Is there anyone else that goes through what I am going through?

Is it because god wont let them touch women? Don't you see how christianity drives people who are likely good people to do bad things such as rape?

Okay, I THINK this song is by Julio Preciado. It goes something like this:
"Te escribi una carta y no me contestaste, fui a buscarte y cambiaste direccion. Como tengo unas cosas que reclamarte me obligaste a que te cante esta cancion. Deje mi casa por vivir feliz contigo y me pagaste como algunas pagan mal, por tu culpa estoy viviendo en donde ahora vivo y a esta vida no me puedo acustumbrar."

...the fact that my car is down, the weather has been too extreme to do anything, my daughter was almost kidnapped up the block at one in the afternoon, and we may be moving within the month?

Would these things cause extra stress/anxiety/depression to one who has been doing very well on medication?

Well, the thing is, my boyfriend and I broke up after living together for about a year. We were both really stressed with our 5 year age difference and our different levels of work experience and our seperate years in school. It was hard because I had to move back in with my mom, though we promised to stay friends and he promised to help me out with what I need financially and all that. The problem is, he does his part though sometimes he isn't all that dependable, but I am still kind of hurt obviously and jealous though I am doing a lot better emotionally than I expected. Anyways, I find myself constantly checking his Facebook and email and calling him and I get jealous when he says he has friends that are guys and girls though he promises he doesn't want a girlfriend. I can't just seperate myself because we have to talk everyday and see each other every weekend because he helps me out. So, what can I do to get over this and be a better friend to him so he doesn't leave that either?

My nipples always get tender about 3-5 days before my period is expected. My period was due on Wednesday, and I haven't had any of the sensitivity that I ALWAYS feel before that time of the month. Is this a clue that my period ISN'T coming? I'm hoping to be pregnant, but no, I'm not stressed.

I need a cute bag for school, but I've checked a lot of stores including; hollister, a&f, ae, forever21, wet seal, old navy
and I don't like any.

I need a BIG one because I put a lot of stuff in mine.
Any ideas where I can find one?
