My niece is 13 yrs old. She is very pretty, bright but mostly she is a sweet, loving young lady. She is an only child. Since she has been in 8th grade, there are a couple of "mean" girls - girls that just don't like her for some unknown reason. I think they are jealous b/c that is usually what happens between girls. She doesn't get invited to parties that these girls are going to.

I think she is too nice and that's part of the problem. If she fought , I think they would back down. My sister-in-law wants her to be all nice-nice and act like it doesn't bother her that these girls are saying mean things. My niece is a "good girl" - she doesn't date and my brother & his wife made her cancel her myspace page b/c it was becoming an obsession with her.

Some of these mean girls are already having sex!!!

Is there any advice that I could give her to help with this situation? I hate to think of these girls being mean to such a sweet girl.

Yet on her own television show, she states repeatedly, that couples that "play house" and do not get legally married are not entitled to the same rights and protections as couples that do legally marry. As a jurist, isn't she condoning prejudice here? I mean what would she say if the government said Jews could not get legally married? Of course I don't watch her anymore, but what do you think of her beliefs as a judge?

A four-year-old boy who was asked to return thanks before Christmas dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. He began his prayer, thanking God for all his friends, naming them one by one. Then he thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, brother, sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all his aunts and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food.
He gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes, even the Cool Whip. Then he paused, and everyone waited ... and waited. After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, "If I thank God for the broccoli, won't he know that I'm lying?"

I have four dogs. Two of them have kennel cough. My other two seem fine right now. One of them is a very small chihuahua and I have heard that toy breeds often can get gravely ill from minor infections.

Aside from keeping them away from her, is there anything else I can do to protect my little one?

Also, my vet tech told me antibiotics are usually not necessary for Kennel cough, but to watch out for seconday infection. Is this right?

I follow the directions for white rice or brown rice on the bag and both either burns on the bottom of the pot or is too mushy or too hard. I just want to make a nice pot of fluffy rice. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I made this relish with

Cranberries, Pecans, and oranges, and orange peel and a tad of sugar, would that be a healthy breakfast for being pregnant or at all?

I know crushed coral is a good substrate to use for increasing the PH, but I'm not sure what rocks to use to build some caves and hiding spots.

Also, what rocks would be good for a South American Cichlid tank? Since they like softer water than the Africans they would require different rocks, right?

when a person wont come to you or tell you the problem they have with you. Instead they do passive aggressive things to get your attention in the most obvious ways. Would a person like this really have an issue or is it just a game to them you think?

My stepdad has raised me since I was 5. My dad has been around too but I decided to have my stepdad walk me down the aisle.

How do I phrase the invitation? Do I include my two sets of parents along with the grooms? Seems like a lot of people. Also, I barely know my stepmother and she has only been around a few years. Do I still put her name on it?

Are the bride and groom required to dance? We HATE dancing!

Are there any rules for seating charts for the reception? Should I mix all 3 sides of the family?

Thanks!
