I'm thinking about having a sign made to put on my front door. The sign would say "This isn't a public taxi, convenience store, or a pay phone." Do you think my loser neighbors would get the hint? I have told them no numerous times when they come over here to bum a ride, bum a pop, or bum our phone. They still won't get the hint. I've threatened to press harrassment charges against them if they continue to come over to ask for things. I'm fed up with getting my teething 1 1/2 year old to lie down only for those morons to bang on my door and wake her up. Is there anything I can do to make these people go away? Please don't say move. We're doing that in another three months.

The service has not been all that good, and I've had to buy my own drinking cups since they don't seem to remember to leave new ones every day.

To be fair to the staff, I should add that there are three of us, in three beds, and they come daily to clean.

Okay, I asked a guy to our school's girls-ask-guys dance, and I'm really nervous. I think it's going to be ok, I've talked to the guy about it and he's an absolute sweetie, but I've never done this before and I don't know what I'm supposed to do! Do I buy dinner, since I asked? Am I supposed to get him one of those little buttoniere thingies? Help!

no one has ever answered this question but after some experimentation, I have come up with a few simple solutions.

Fortunately I have figured out a way to squeeze my buttocks together so that ACOUSTICLY, you just don't hear any of my farts. Unfortunately, the SMELL is what ultimately gives the "silent but deadly" ones away.
Basically, if I fart in a crowded area, I wait to find out if it stinks or not... if it doesn't stink IT NEVER HAPPENED.

IF IT DOES STINK:

#1 is it proper to walk away from "ground zero" as quickly as possible and then strike up a conversation with someone - pretending the event never happened?

After about 10 seconds, depending on fart intensity, the smell will be detected but only in rare circumstances (such as a beef dinner) will the fart intensity be a 10 ( on a scale from 1 -10).

the only problem with walking away to a new area is that sometimes the smell "follows" you, or, worse you might fart again - and again even giving yourself away.

Hi

I recently got married and have an eight year old daughter from a previous marriage.

She gets along great with my husband and we do not want to exclude her from our personalized "Thank you notes" since we honestly believe our union has made us a family and not only "a couple."

Is there a proper way to print out the notecards without excluding my daughter on the wording?

Also, We do not want to print the cards using our first names only.

Please Help!!!

Thank you in Advance!!!

If the the "pot," (so to speak) is not intending to be rude or crueln and just want the kettle to realize....

Why can't people just take criticism without feeling like the person giving it has to be all better than them?

I live in an apartment building and I am having problems with my upstairs neighbor. She is an older lady probably in her 50s of 60s and she is constantly bothering me about my next door neighbor (who lives below her also). She comes knocking my door at least a couple times a week, usually more, and sometimes at really wierd hours (once she knocked at 1:00 at night). I answer the door (she keeps knocking until I answer) and she starts rambling on and on about how loud the neighbor is and how she is going to call the police. The thing is, they aren't loud! I have never even heard them! Additionally, I don't udnerstand why she is telling ME about it! I'm just standing there thinking, "why are you here and what exactly do you want from me?" It is annoying to say the least. I try very hard not to be rude to her since she is my elder and all.. but this has got to stop. I think she may have dementia but I'm not sure what to do! What would you do?

I have seen several people say some of the WORST things on here!!! I just read where a grown woman told a little 11 year old girl that she is "fat and should stick her head in the oven and die"!!
How can people be so cruel???
If anyone out there wants to pick on someone they should at least not pick on a CHILD!!
I have decided that if I see bevahior on here that is nasty to people, i'm going to report them for abuse.
This world has enough problems without people wasting their time to pick on someone.
Furthermore, if any of you reading this are one of the creeps that likes to hurt people with your words. I feel sorry for your sad and insecure little lives.
I hope people can just use this site for what it was intended, being a helpful place to learn and have fun.
Does anyone agree?? Will others begin to pay attention to how badley some people are on here and make a change by reporting the abuse??

I've had it a few times where they come shooting past me in the pedestrianized area. Sure they do up to 10-15mph. If bicylces were doing that speed with pedal power there would be a public outrage. And never had one that even bothered to look what that whiff of wind was as they whizzed past me.

What you think? Should they be on the pavements and pedestrianised areas as they are or should they have speed restriction that makes them unable to go faster than walking speed?

UK question.

I was reading about RFID Chips on http://RFID-News.org/

It is very interesting technology but I am not sure about all the applications. How do you feel about children being implanted with RFID chips in order to monitor their whereabouts?

I would be interesting in hearing peoples thoughts on this subject. Thanks.

my upstairs neighbours play loud thumping music past 12 am at night and at intervals throughout the day. what should i do? i get the feeling that if theyre told once, theyll just keep doing it again and again. i dont wanna get face to face with them, as i am a little worried about the retribution they might seek. also, i wanna know what the average thickness is of walls and ceilings are in apartment buildings. just an average.

After having a few mixed drinks at a friends house party, and eating some of his homemade salsa, my stomach started to turn and couldnt handle it. I rushed to the bathroom as quickly as possible and it completely went through me instantly. After I was finished going the bathroom, the odor quickly went through the entire house, and all the guests were complaining, but had no idea who the culprit was. Soon everyone was dying to know and started asking everyone who did it for the rest of the night, but when I was asked, I said nothing because I was embarressed. I ruined my friends party and I felt bad, should I have come clean and said it was me to end the issue?

Yesterday we got a courtesy ride from VW dealership to our house as my car needed some repairs. Well, after we got home, the driver of the shuttle got down and opened the door for us and was extremely courteous. I wanted to give him some tip, but we did not have cash on us. He was so well dressed that it made us get a complex looking at our attire LOL. Well that apart, if we had some cash how much would be appropriate to tip him? We will be going to the dealership tonight to pick up my car and I was planning to explain to him that we did not have cash on us and hence did not offer the gratitude. What do you guys think? Will it look like over reacting or inappropriate?
