when i was in yr 8 my mum told a very embarrest 12 year old daughter that when she was older (15,16) she would be allowed to have guy friends over, and she would quite like it because this way she could have a balance between having boy mates (NOT boyfriends) and going to a girls school.

Now this 12 year old daughter is 16. I still remember the conversation, but we havent talked about it since and there are some guys i still know from intermediate that i want to meet up with again.
Im not mates with any other guys atm. I know its a pathetic question but im really embarrest to bring it up and argh i keep putting it off how do i ask her?

do you think that now ive grown up she might have changed her mind?

Hi,
I am single and coming to the end of my rental lease. I have been living on my own in apartments for the past ten years. I have to make a choice quickly on whether I should renew my lease. My parents want me to move in with them. During the past year, my father's health has really declined and my mom has to take care of him for most of the time. He has his good days and bad days. In a way, I know it is the moral thing to do so I could help my mom with my dad. Also, it would help me out financially since I live paycheck to paycheck. I could finally save money. But my parents live in a two bedroom townhouse. I would have my own bedroom, but still it will be cramped quarters. Also, I know I shouldn't worry about what other people think...but I will be a 32 year old living with her mommy and daddy. I have always been very independent and I can't stand the thought of losing my independence. But if I continue to live on my own, I will feel guilty for not helping them out. Also,

my little sister is in year 7 now and she is very, very annoying. She is incredibly "inquistisive" as she like to rummage through my room and search for things she is intrested in, she like to peep in my monitor and see what I am doing, and when I tell her to stop doing something like: "Can you keep your clapping down, please?" I get response like, "shut up, you faggard!" or no response at all.
How can I deal with that?

Those Born 1930-1979
READ TO THE BOTTOM FOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH BY JAY LENO. IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE---VERY WELL STATED

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.



We played...tag your it, Indians & Cowboys. The Indians always lost the battle. Snow ball fights....who could hit a moving car with a snow ball and run like heck without being caught.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We didn't rush to the emergency room for a scrap on the knee, or bashing our heads into something that got in the way.


We did not have Playstations, Nintendos,
X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVDs, no surround-sound or CDs, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms........
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!


Kind of makes you want to run through the
house with scissors, doesn't it?!

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

My grandmother does not have a will and never made one out because she raised me as her own daughter and it was understood that I would inherit her furniture and heirlooms (We live in an apartment, so there's not very much, only a nice bedroom set and dining room.) I am 20 years old and have taken care of her the last several years without any support from my almost non-existent mother. Recently my grandmother has developed symptoms of Alzheimer's. I do not know how much time she has before she has no mind of her own. My mother has just expressed interest in my grandmother's belongs, things my grandmother has already given to me (like paintings) that just happen to still be in her apartment because I live with her.

If my grandmother dies, or has to go into a nursing home, is there any law that can stop my mother from just coming in and taking all the furniture (like I said, there's not that much, and it's of sentimental value, not neccesarily financial) , paintings, and even my personal family photos and heirlooms that my grandmother gave me as a child?

It's not that I'm being selfish by not offering to give my mother anything. It's just that there isn't much here to give. It's all stuff that I'm going to need for my apartment. Plus, I don't see why my mother should be entitled to anything, as she doesn't even speak to my grandmother, and has NEVER helped me care for her, even though her medical needs demand much of my time and energy. Heck, my mother didn't even raise me. So, if anyone has any advice, please share it with me. I wouldn't put it pass my mom to take me to court just for meaness, but I'm willing to give it my all to fight her on this one.

We are looking for inspiration for the entire evening (which we'd like to be slighly formal) and envolving our family, extended family and friends. Ideas on "ceremonies" as well as gifts are appreciated! Any meaningful suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!

how many people would get mad if your mother in law bought your daughter new shoes, and then you found out that she told your daughter that the ones you bought her were dirty and didnt fit right? (child is 7) or would you like it if she constantly was telling you what you were doing wrong with raising your child. how about your mother in law offering to help you buy a house, under these conditions...she will pay what you cannot afford on house for 1 year, but only if her name is on the mortgage and only if its the house she wants you and her son to buy...which just happens to be right next to her sister. and what would you do if you confront your husband about this and he tells you to stop being a b****

I am worried i am taking my appearance too far.
I am an 18 year old boy from a small town.
I am being bullied constantly both by my parents and other people because of how i look.
My parents tell me i am a weirdo and that they don't want to be associated with me, and my mum has recently asked my dad for a divorce, because their child has turned out to be like i have.
I'm quite lost inside this situation, and i feel like its my fault because i wanted to be different. Although I feel like i do not stand out as much as they make out.
I have 4 piercings, i have both sides of my lower lip and both of my ears. One of my ears is stretched to 12mm (1.2cm) which isn't very big when you think about it.
This is how i look:
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q208/davecieply/P8200103.jpg

I receive a mixed opinion on my appearance, my close friends and girlfriend tell me i do not look out of place, and that i am still a normal person. But i now feel like a 'weirdo'.
Should i take them all out?

I have a niece that wants to leave home. She will be 13 soon. Her parents are emotionally and verbally abusive to her. We are a tight nit family. I have recently confronted her to let her know that her grandmother and I do know what's going on. That when she's ready to leave we will take her into one of our homes. We just aren't sure at what age she could leave and not be considered a run away. I am her aunt, making me her mother's sister. Her grandmother and I know that this will tear our family apart, but we know that she, my sister, is hurting her daugter. I believe that the only thing that can be done is to get my niece out of the home envirinment. But at what age can she leave? My niece is made to take care of several younger children and clean the house. She's not allowed to be a child. Which, is a very important part of life.

Frequently people from the USA are giving incorrect advice on Yahoo to UK residents.

Do those of you in the USA not realise that other countries have different laws, different government agencies and different local councils?

Surely it can't just be arrogance. Why not check before answering a question.
