He has one son but is out of work right now broke. We went on 3 dates. He bought me wine the first night. The 2nd night i bought us a hotel to use the jacuzzi + chanpagne + movie total $135. I also bought him 3 packs of cigarettes in the last 2 days. His so called Cadillac is in the shop, doesnt know when it will be done but now hes thinking of just trading it in for cash. I havent seen his caddy only the 92 contour he drives around in. I drive a BMW. We drive my car everywhere we go he has never payed for gas. Our 3rd date I payed for our drinks in the club and admission. This morning knowimng hes STILL broke he shows up at 7am unannounced at my door while ringing and texting me to go shopping with him.

Thanks. Hes 29 Im 23. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091125003001AAr0Ted http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091125003001AAr0Ted Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:30:01 GMT I have so much love and respect for her my closest friend. We have much in common w. tastes and values and is omeone who I know I can trust and be very loyal to. About a month ago, we were supposed to meet up at a club. (Me, her, her boyfriend, and 2 of her friends). I got asked out by someone for the same day and told him I had plans. I told her and she compromised and said go to dinner w. him first and then meet them there later. So that was what they did. I tried convincing him to go to the club but he wasn't into it. Okay, just as long as you drop me off. After dinner, we were kinda buzzed from all the wine. I talked w. her briefly and told her we would be leaving after a few minutes. This guy suddenly got horny and (I think) wanted something very physical. I stopped him before anything happened and got into this big argument/talk about what his intentions are. I was on a roll, very passionate (not dramatic)...it was just very bad, disappointing and kinda scary. By the time it was over, the doors were closed to the club and I had called her quickly and texted her - apologizing and summing up what happened. At the end of the night, she got the impression that I had ditched her (i didn't). She texted me at the end of the night saying it was okay, we'll talk later and "chicks before ducks". I left it alone for about a week and a half - had to give it time and we were both busy. Apparently she confided in one of our mutual friends and accordin to her, it "disappointed" and upset - and I don't blame her. I understand that was not fair of me to keep her waiting but I wasn't planning on what happened that night w. that guy. (AND NO, we did not have sex!) It was just a crazy fight and all of the above. I met up w. our mutual friend and gave her a card to give to her. It was just a simple yet sincere apology admitting how I shouldn't have let her and tried to sum up it was a bad night, not plannin that fight w. the guy. I haven't talked to her since (gave the card a week ago). She texted all of us 3 girls regarding something about christmas. I asked a question and she didn't respond back. I have a feeling she's gruding against me. Here's my view: I sincerely am sorry for what had happened - i love my friend and she's the last person I would hurt and I'm not the type (nor was I ever the type) to choose a guy over a girl. It's been over a freakin month and I'm sorry but if she's still goin to be gruding over this...that just seems so childish. Move on and get over it. I don't expect open arms and "oh i love your card" kinda reaction. Just know I was sincere in my apology and be done. What's up? Will she drop our friendship bc of this? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091125002753AAcU7sV http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091125002753AAcU7sV Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:27:53 GMT My closest friend is a cap and I have so much love and respect for her.

Each time I had maybe 4 drinks (vodka and orange juice, these were less strong than a typical screwdriver "recipe" on google) and this was just enough to get me drunk. Never blacked out or passed out or had a hang over. I didn't drink for maybe a year or so after that. When I tried to have an alcoholic drink my stomach would reject it. I'd get a stomach ache after one drink and throw up if I had another. I've tried beer, wine, and vodka and it's the same with all of them. I'm only 20 and a half right now so I know I'm still a minor and shouldn't be drinking. I never ever party. I just like to have a few drinks with a couple close friends and be silly. My questions are: 1) Does anyone understand why my body rejects it so quickly when I didn't have a problem before? 2) When I turn 21 would a doctor be able to determine the exact reason such as an allergy? When I turn 21 I want to be able to go out to the clubs and go dancing and be able to have a drink. I wanna be able to have a beer with the guys. I wanna be able to celebrate with wine. It's not the end of the world if I can't drink; it would just be nice to have a reason why. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091121213805AAT6mmD http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091121213805AAT6mmD Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:38:05 GMT as in a different store for all these people. not necessarily ONE store mom- shes very conservative who REALLY needs clothes dad- he loves to cook, but has enough cooking things.... he too needs clothes and is very business-y but not suits and stuff sister- she has two dogs, a nice and cozy house but its a little messy and needs a little more organization brother- he has a nice house and has one dogs... he loves alcohol and partying other brother- lives with other brother, loves having people over for wine wednesdays, very fashionable nanny- but not anymore... shes my second mom... she recently lost a lot of weight. she dresses cute but also needs money sisters best friend and her husband- they both love clothes and fashion and believe in the thought that counts brother in law- rather large man(tall) loves clothes... jobs involves being in the clubs a lot jewish best friend-(LOL) loves clothes, but thinks shes fat.... age mom-50s dad- 50s sister-30s brothers- early and late 20s nanny-60s sisters bf and her husband- 30s brother in law- late 20s friends- 16 like me http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091119005538AAbTU3W http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091119005538AAbTU3W Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:55:38 GMT Whiskies Tequila Vodka .. .. ?

Fuentes We Filipinos are very sensible. Look how the recent putsch was lambasted in the newspaper. Letters from the readers swarmed indicating that we cannot tolerate the cowardly and senseless killing of soldiers and civilians, wasted ammunitions, and budding economy again jeopardized. We condemn the former regime, its havoc upon our lives. We condemn graft and corruption, so rampant; we condemn the violation of human rights allegedly committed against the leader of Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT); we condemn everything that is foul, inhuman, unjust, impure, indecent. But look at the kind of movies and TV programs we go after; display of sex acts—under the guise of art, nude bodies, violent sex, fornication, adultery, vengeance, magical arts, sorcery, myths. Even an ordinary comedy sit-com is rated "Parental Guidance." Is that wholesome entertainment? You can glean from the entertainment that we are so crazy about what kind of people we truly are. Instead of censorship, awards were given to this filth. The female body has become the hottest and fastest selling commodity, raking millions of profits for the movie industry, print, liquor and wine. Every time a sex-oriented movie goes out for showing we are buying our own ticket to moral degradation, anarchy, and even destruction from VD epidemic, like what happened to Majuro Marshall Islandwhere more than one out of ten have VD. Homosexuality is now enjoined in full swing. Love of money just like lust of flesh is insatiable. The chain has already been started; we wonder when it will end and how. Then we aspire for peace and order and goodwill? Are we worthy? A poverty-stricken Filipino bombarded with filthy movies, how will he react? Concerned Women of the Philippines, Rotary Club, Philippene Alliance of Human Rights Advocates, we appeal to you. Will you remain indifferent? 1. What is the article about? 2. Whose opinions are presented in the article? 3. How does the writer present and organize his ideas? 4. Make a list of the “wrongs” people condemn and compare them with the “wrong” we patronize. 5. Does the writer mention positive, interesting and negative values of Filipinos? List them. 6. Do you agree with the writer when he says that we are indifferent to the present situation?

I told him when he dumped me i really liked him and stuff but he didnt like me enough to go out. We tried to stay friends but it was always a bit akward. Recently since the beggining of septe,ber we met again at a party and we talked lots. Then i invited him to my 18th and he stayed over because he was drinking and had his car. Other people styaed over too but he wanted to sleep next to me. We got a bit flirty and stuff like cuddling in bed. Next thing he invited me out clubbing for his birthday, which was good. Bu we were quite close like he said to me are you cold and put his arm around me and cuddled me and stuff. The on saturdday we were both going clubbing but we didnt plan to meet. I was at a party before hand and then he phoned me and asked where i was. So i went to meet him. Bu i was so drunk he had to carry to a taxi and take me home. ( i was drunk because myfriend poured vodka in my wine without me knowing). I think we have become much better friends, do you think he feels sis less akward now?? because its been so long.

My boyfriend lives in Australia, and when i visit him, his parents always offer me drinks with dinner or my boyfriend's pals will buy me something when we're out at the club, and I don't know what to have. I feel kind of stupid and un-ladylike when this happens. Can you give me some ideas about what kind of drinks a woman would have? favorites? what your girlfriend drinks? what wine goes well with dinner? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091106121231AAPO6mB http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091106121231AAPO6mB Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:12:31 GMT I woke up in the hospital, the doctor said that I had alcohol poisoning and had to have my stomach pumped. I nearly choked to death on my own vomit. He also told me that I was about 30 to 32 weeks pregnant. I had no idea! So basically, I am eight months pregnant, and almost every night for the past two years or so, me and my girlfriends have gone to the bars and clubs after work and have gotten very, very, very drunk. I usually wake up in a strange place with out any recolection of what has happened the night before. I'm not an alcoholic, but I do enjoy drinking and I don't want to give it up. Now that I know that I am pregnant, I'll try to stop, but do you think that my baby has been harmed? the doctor said that I have to come back in a week for him to run some tsts, and that i should get an OBGYM or something like that. I don't know what to do. I only gained about ten pounds, but I asuumed it was because of hte boozr. I know that booze has a lot of calories, so I dont eat during the day so that I can get really drunk at night because sometimes we end up getting fast food at three in the morning do you think that I am a bad person do you think that I have hurt bmy baby? i dont even know who the father is and i have no family and all of my friends are only my drinking buddies and we only drink together and nobody loves me what should i do http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091106102616AAdNHxQ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091106102616AAdNHxQ Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:26:16 GMT I don't know what to do, I'm 20years old (Female) , Unemployed & Not Studying. I've been depressed since 15 , it began with my parents seperating , shortly after my grandfather died , my mother had my dog put down as neither her or my father are allowed pets at their new houses. When my parents broke up ( I always wanted this to happen because my father use to beat my sister and I and mentally abuse my Mother ) I was happy to be living with my mother because she's lovely and not strict like my father, For years i'd begged my mother to leave my father but when she finally did i went completley off the rails. ( As much as I hated my father [ & even today he still resents me for chosing to live with my mother & her new man & he always degrades me, hes stopped physically abusing me and now mentally abuses me calling me useless, whore, ect ] I now realise that he only wanted the best for us, and If i'd have gone to live with him , he wouldn't of let me go down this track ) - NOT blaiming my mother - ) When my parents were together, my father made my sister I stay in school, play netball, athletics and tae kwon do. I hated sports but because of my father we were very good at it ( I represented my area for netball , I went to Austrlia for athletics and Became a 1st Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and represented my country and won 3 gold medals at the Junior World Champs at just 13 ) Since I was living with my mother I dropped out of boarding school , quit all my sports and began drinking . I took advantage of my mothers kind heart and refused to listen to anything she told me . I wasn't depressed when i began drinking but i was certainly on a downwards spiral . I would pretty much go out every night drinking and I met this 30 year old guy who just got out of prison and told me he was really horny. We texted for a few weeks and I actually thought he was interested in me as a gf ( despite the fact he told me how horny he was ) . We agreed to meet up again and he picked me up, he drove straight to the alcohol store and purchased 3 bottles of wine and told me to drink them, i listened. He then drove us to a motel and paid $70 for a room, i knew we were going to have sex and we did. I was bleeding all over the sheets and didnt know what to do as it was my first time, but i really liked him and thought he liked me too so i didnt want to tell him to stop, even though it was my first time. We fell asleep and in the morning he kissed me goodbye, told me he had to go to work and gave me $50. I felt like a prostitute, but after i got home and showered i texted him, no reply, i sent him so many texts for about a month untill i realised he was purposley ignoring me and never had intentions of anything other then the 1 night stand. I felt used and stupid. By this time i was depressed and drank alcohol to "forget" about the pathetic failure i'd become. Instead of playin sports I'd taken to under-age clubbing with my cousin. One night while I was under-age clubbing with my cousin we were EXCESSIVLEY intoxicated and met some guys at the club, they were buying me drinks all night long and after the club closed they asked us if we wanted to continue drinking at a near-by beach, young and drunk my cousin and i agreed. We arrived at the beach and kept drinking, shortly after i needed to use the toilets which were in the bush , one of the guys said he would help me to go to the toilets incase anything happend to me. As we got out of sight of my cousin and the other boys , i remember he tripped me to the ground and then hit a rock across my head attempting to knock me out. I was struggling and screaming but no one heard me, i tried pushing him off and telling him NO but eventually he over powered me and began raping me. I gave up ( and now that i think about it, i realise that this was the day I gave up on life ) and i just lay there crying as he continued to rape me. He took off with his friends and left me laying in the dirt nakked and violated. My cousin came to find me and help me get dressed , I was devistated but I felt like she was more concerned about how we were going to get home then the fact I'd been raped. We eventually got home and the next day I tried to talk to her about it and she didn't even care , she didnt try to comfort me or want to here me talk about it so from then on i kept it inside and never spoke about it again. From then on I began blaiming myself for the rape and told myself It was my fault because I was drunk and I put myself in that position going to the beach with men we'd just met. Not being able to talk about the attack with anyone was really eating away at me. ( I just wanted to talk about so i could move on, but i never got the chance to so I feel like even today I havent dealth with it ) Now not only was I depressed , I'd lost all myself. I continued drinking and put on an extreme amount of weight which lead to me loosing all my confidence. I had zero self esteeme , I began to hate myself , I Idk what happend to the rest of my story... but if by any chance you want to help me please give me you're yahoo messenger or msn and i'll hit you up thanks =]x http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091105125224AA5iCsr http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091105125224AA5iCsr Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:52:24 GMT My wedding is in July 2010 at a pavillion that my fiance and I have rented, on the beach. The only things supplied are the place its self are the chairs and tables. There is also a kitchen area with a stove/oven/refridgerator/freezer.. We are hiring a caterer, a DJ, and probably a bar tender. I was thinking of having a few drink choices rather than providing a full scale bar becuase I deff cant afford that. I was thinking of making up a cute "Bar Menu" to place near the bar on some hot pink paper (my wedding color)... so that people know what their choices are For example: BAR MENU: Margarita Cosmopolotan Malibu Bay Breeze Screwdriver Vodka and Club Soda Vodka and Cranberry Also listed would be the types of soda, beer, and wine that we have What do you think? It might be important for me to add that this is not a very formal wedding. I'm not even wearing a wedding dress. I'll be wearing more of a white cocktail dress...and it'll be more casual/cocktail attire http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091105073306AAkQ33G http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091105073306AAkQ33G Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:33:06 GMT So, I'm a manager at my company. We're primarily a sales company and I run a team of 10 sales staff. My deputy (for want of a better term) has been with us for just over a year and was recently promoted. I'm also a married man (10 years) and have a child. She is in an on-again, off-again relationship and is often dating. She is also extremely, and I mean extremely gorgeous. Before anyone starts giving me sh*t please understand this: I do NOT want an affair. If I found myself single then she would be top of my list, but I am not and I am perfectly happy with my married life, thanks. The reason for asking my question is to try anf figure out if I am flattering myself (in which case, there's no problem) or if this lady does indeed have a "thing" for me, in which case I need to make some changes, the right ones, and quickly. 2 months ago I had an operation and couldn't drive or carry anything. She accompanied me on a two night trip out of town. On the first night our dinner meeting cancelled so we dined together. We had plenty of wine and got on very, very well. I should say we travel well together, have a lot in common, enjoy each others humour etc. We get back to the small hotel and she looks into both rooms, pulls a funny face and says "what are we doing about the sleeping arrangements...you might need to burp me" which was a reference to my saying I'd get a full nights sleep without my baby to burp (being a new Dad). I glossed over it and we obviously slept in our own rooms apart. Nothing more was said and her hangover was good for night two that we hit the hay sober and early. Now, we've finished road trip 2. This time one night one we have a great dinner, good wine and lots of fun conversation about all sorts of things. When dinner is finished she asks (for 2nd time) if I want to take her to a local (upmarket & expensive) strip club. I agree (I know, maybe stupid, but in fact the club is one of our clients). We go, we have some more wine, and she has a shoulder massage from the massage girl (it's upmarket like I said). In the taxi back she asks me to massage an area of her back the masseuse founf a problem with. When we get to the hotel she asks if I would keep going for her but in her room so she can lay down. I agree but have a smoke first outside. When I knock and get the "come in" she's on the bed in just her thong and bra (which is undone). She's also dug out some body lotion. I massage her back in the sore area and little up and down her kegs and leave. F&#K it was hard, but I did leave. Hand on heart all I did was massage her, and she was face down, just moaning a little as I went. Next day all is fine. She asks if I will say about the club to colleagues and i say no. She notices my hands went yellow as the lotion has self-tan in it. I joke my palms are yellow, but so's her butt. The conversation changes to the day ahead (oh, and we laughed at the joke). A little later she remarks on my hands again, asking what I will tell my wife. I say just that I used some lotion with tan in it and didn't wash it off. She says she decided not to tell the kinda-boyfriend about the club as they'd talked about going to one together. Fast forward to the end of the trip (and there is NO uneasiness or anything) and before we board the plane I say "so what was the best oart of the trip" and she says "the first night was the best, it was fun". OK, thats it. She hasn't exactly made a move. Does she like me "that" way do you think? The massage...there WAS a big lunp in her back, for sure. Obviously I need to be careful going forwards. But do I say anything to her? I certainly don't want her thinking it will harm her job, as it won't. If she DOES have something for me then I need to reowrk our time together and build in some safety nets. Then again I may just be flattering myself. I just don't know. It's not a problem I have ever had before, assuming it's a problem. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091105063745AAK3nBp http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091105063745AAK3nBp Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:37:45 GMT If I see a 2005 Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2007 Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon which is going to be "better" of the two. Is the wine considered better after a couple years? Or does it depend on the wine for that year if it gets better or not. Or is the difference in the years immaterial. I don't need to know what you think of this particular brand so you can save that for your wine club. Thanks The reason I'm asking is because I got a four pack of Ravenswood wine at Grocery Outlet (which is a place that sells close outs) All the Ravenswood at Safeway is 2007. But this that I got at the outlet is 2004,2005,2006. Its a variety pack. The pour pack was 16.99 and it came in a decorative case thingy. So thats really only 4.25 a bottle. The normal price is at least twice that. Its a gift so I'm not gonna test it. Great answers. Actually this store has a policy that if it's not to your liking it can be returned, sounds like I might need to. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091103144321AAL3ovN http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091103144321AAL3ovN Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:43:21 GMT Let me start off my saying that i'm not a gangster or anything I just did this for fun.

I told him when he dumped me i really liked him and stuff but he didnt like me enough to go out. We tried to stay friends but it was always a bit akward. Recently since the beggining of septe,ber we met again at a party and we talked lots. Then i invited him to my 18th and he stayed over because he was drinking and had his car. Other people styaed over too but he wanted to sleep next to me. We got a bit flirty and stuff like cuddling in bed. Next thing he invited me out clubbing for his birthday, which was good. Bu we were quite close like he said to me are you cold and put his arm around me and cuddled me and stuff. The on saturdday we were both going clubbing but we didnt plan to meet. I was at a party before hand and then he phoned me and asked where i was. So i went to meet him. Bu i was so drunk he had to carry to a taxi and take me home. ( i was drunk because myfriend poured vodka in my wine without me knowing). I think we have become much better friends, do you think he feels sis less akward now?? because its been so long. I still like him that little bit and always will, but surely if he knew this he wouldnt act like that.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091101083254AAZpBZ3 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091101083254AAZpBZ3 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:32:54 GMT Im female, 23, a bit over weight, and working part time. I drink every day. weekdays, generally, about 2-3 glasses of wine a night. at the weekends, say on a night out, i can easily consume a bottle of wine for myself, on top of shots, and possibly a different drink, like vodka and coke, or malibu or something. I work at a pub, and at the end of every night shift i always have a drink, after every day shift, ill have 2 or 3. I drink generally when im out with my boyfriend, or my mates when we're at the pubs in the evening so its always a social thing. im starting to notice that i dont like situations where im not drinking, because when i have a glass or two im completely relaxed and very chatty (overly sometimes). without a drink ,i feel immensely uncomfortable. I like to drink alone sometimes, when i have the flat to myself, and generally if and when this happens, ill easily finish a bottle. ive been drinking like this for 3 years, and have a constant want to cut-down/give up alcohol. I fear giving up because everyone of my friends, knows me as a drinker, and we are all extremely social, and love going out pubbing and clubbing. so if i gave up, i fear id lose my ability to have fun, or i would just crack and give in to drinking again to have fun. Last night i went out for Halloween with friends and had one beer,2-3 glasses of wine, 2 tequila shots, and one vodka jelly. and i dont remember anything about leaving the pub. so i called in sick to work today because of the hangover. im beginning to regret drinking every time i do, but i dont ever seem to stop, or rather i don't want to. i dont feel i possess an alcoholics profile, because it does not affect my friendships or my relationships with my friends and family. could someone PROFESSIONAL give me some advice on wether i possibly have a problem, or whether i just need to talk to someone like my GP, or can anyone ...i dont know.. im just starting to worry about my health, but i dont want to give up alcohol... what problems, could arise from this? am i drinking too much? what is a reasonable amount to consume a week? im clueless. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091029073523AAzyfQY http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091029073523AAzyfQY Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:35:23 GMT I want to know what and how and who, can help with a divorce. I want my children of course, they are 20 months and 7 months. My husband would not let me work for over a yr now. I had really bad post partum depression with my last son. Thankfully Im past that. I went to a pyscharist and he put me on mood stabilarizers and colonopin. I Went out and got a job w/ out his permission, A bartender at a Country Club. Good Money. Never drank on the job. He was pissed and said it was a bad inviroment. I ended up quitting, he made it unbearable and I fiqured we would stop fighting. Didn't happen. My friend Suggested to bring the kids to Virgina for a couple days, at the time it seemed to be a good idea, He flipped when I metioned it and this is where it started. I had to take my father to get surgery on his back, I invited his parents over to watch the kids till I got back, I came back to an Empty house! He took my children ! I called the cops, They said he had a PFA on me, its a little blurry cause I was so furious! So, I called my friend and took off for Virgina for a couple days, I had to get my head striaght. Bad Idea, Shes a HUGE drama Queen and was pregnant and wanted me to baby her and go to the hospital and sit there with her everyday, There was nothing wrong with her and she is ALWAYS going to the hospital. I didn't drive 6 hrs to sit in the hospital. So when I was there I called lawyers and got thing set up for when I got home. I went out 2 nights I was there and drank. She called my husband and said I was shitfaced the entire time and that i had cheated on him. big fat LIE! I went also and sold my weddings rings, he had cancelled my credit card so, i had no money. He had a Emergency cosdide hearing for the children for the folllowing week. I tried to get a lawyer but, I had no money, he had it all. So I got a county lawyer appointed to me.Anyways, we went to court and he had said I was drinking and he was worried for the children. I think I may of drank 4 times during the span of 2 months. and when I did , the children and him were in bed, I would drink my wine and listen to music after a very long day! Never caused anyone harm.So the judge lady awared me custody of the kids form 9-6 mon-fri. Thanks full time babysitter and he would come pick them up and take them back to his moms for the nights and weekends. We did that on and off for a month, we tried to work it out and I kicked him out and then finally , I had the kids all the time. Not court ordered. He wasn't coming home and I had no money for 1 week ( thats a long time with little ones who need diapers and milk and formula) So, I went to welfare. That weekend he came and brought a whole bunch of grocerys! So I called welfare and said he did that and he said he would take care of us and we could work it out. We were still fighting like cats and dogs and lead me to use more colonpin than I should of. I had called the cops on him nuremous times for the mental abuse and torture of his mouth. They wouldnt do anything. So , One day I had fed and changed the boys and put there show on downstairs and went up to lay down for 20 mins. It was 5;20 and He would be home at 5;45. He came home and flipped shit and said I was passed out from the meds I was on. Bullshit, so the argueing got really bad and I called the cops again, this time he made me look like a horrible mother whos on drugs and leaves her children alone. Which complete BULLSHIT! I love my children with all my heart but, I was battleing Post Partum depression. He doesnt believe in post partum depression or the meds I was on to treat it. I agree the meds were to strong at first but, it had to take time I thought. Im not a dr I was just doing what I was told. But the fighting became a regular and it was just too much So, I took more than I should have to calm me down. So him and his family and My mother who knew nothing about what I was going thru, Hadnt talked to her in over 7 months came to have an Intervention on me... Are u fucking kidding me? He started all the fights and Was ALWAYS right! He knows everything and his family too. Italians very stubborn and conciede. So they made me go to rehab. I have to say it was a nice Experience , I met alot of nice people and was sort of a vacation away from everyone. So now Im out and going to meetings doing what Im suppose to do with a friend from rehab, I stayed out on a sat with my friend (whos gay) and we went to a meeting. had lunch and went to a 5 below store. I never get out of the house, I was gone from 1030am to 5pm. The meeting was about 30 mins away and I got lost lol. But, I got home and he fought with me for an hr and putting me down and every time I go out its the same thing over an over. I just cant take it anymore! I want a Divorce but, Everythings in his name, he has a fancy lawyer, the car I drive is in his name and not paid off. I just want my kids and to leave him but, I don't want to put them in daycare. I dont have a job, Now of course Ok first I would like to say, Im not unstable. He made me look this way because, of everything I was going through with my Post Partum, If youve never been through it U have no Idea How crazy you can be! Second, I had a job which he made me quit, In that time I did open a bank acct which I no longer have because, I have no job. I have tried since then to get a job, but the hrs I could work isnt possible with a reg job, thats why the bartending was perfect. If anyone knows about daycare, its a wash to work full time and pay for it. Ive been Supporting myself since I was 16. I know how hard it is out there, when I met my husband, I had my own apt and was working with him at Mercedes Benz. Ive been an Optician for 6 yrs ABO Ceritifed and would like to go back to school to be a dr. As far as the kids and leaving them downstairs, they were strapped into there chairs and love the show which is 30 mins long, they don't budge when its on. My husband,leaves them and washes his car outside! Not to metion, I have to live up to his mother expectations. I feel like I married her too. He wants me to be Betty Fucking Crocker, Well shes dead! I cant fed them anything or him thats not HOMEMADE, do u know how hard that is when u have little ones. I take care of the house, which by the way is for sale and I have to keep it spotless in case someone wants to look at it. I iron all his work clothes and make breakfast lunch and dinner, do everything with the kids. and I have men approch me all the time, I don't think I will have a problem finding a new one. I had a guy tell me he would work 3 jobs for me and I was dream girl. A week ago, Ive know him for quite sometime now. But, Im married and never took it there. and did anyone read the part where he WOULDNT LET ME WORK, I had three job offers in a yrs span and he even told the judge, His pride he didn't want me working. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091026184349AAv0iPq http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091026184349AAv0iPq Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:43:49 GMT ok i need help with a costume for a french halloween party i have no clue what to be all i know is that it has to be french i just cant be like a french student like some ideas people chose were, the french flag, a wine bottle, a grape, marie antoinette, the eiffel tower, french poodle, an artists, chef etc i want something really unique simple to do any ideas and i really dont want to be a french maid http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091026022729AAI0DqJ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091026022729AAI0DqJ Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:27:29 GMT Don't tell me, "ahh...diet and alcohol shouldn't be used in the same sentence."

I have absolutely no idea on how to go about doing that. I am fairly young but have had little less than 8yrs of wine experience (ie: wine clubs, tastings, retail). Is it a profitable career?

It is the area south of Indian Creek and encompasses roughly the southernmost 23 blocks of the main barrier island that separates the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. This area was the first section of Miami Beach to be developed, starting in the 1910s, thanks to the development efforts of Carl G. Fisher, the Lummus Brothers, John S. Collins, and others. The area has gone through numerous man-made and natural changes over the years, including a booming regional economy, increased tourism, and the 1926 hurricane, which destroyed much of the area. History: South Beach started as farmland. In 1870, Henry and Charles Lum purchased 165 acres for coconut farming, and his daughter Taylor named it "South Beach". Charles Lum built the first house on the beach in 1886. In 1894, the Lum brothers left the island, leaving control of the plantation to John Collins, who came to South Beach two years later to survey the land. He used the land for farming purposes, discovering fresh water and extending his parcel from 14th Street to 67th in 1907. In both daytime and at nightfall, the South Beach section of Miami Beach is a major entertainment destination with hundreds of nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels. The area is popular with both American and international tourists (mainly from Europe, Latin America, Canada, Israel, the Caribbean and within the United States), with some having permanent or second homes. The large number of European and Brazilian tourists also explains their influence on South Beach's lax and overall tolerance of topless sunbathing, despite it being a public beach. Points of interest: Lincoln Road: is an open-air pedestrian mall, considered South Beach's premiere shopping area. It is home to many restaurants and several night clubs, such as Score and Funktion, as well as many retail outlets. Ocean Drive: is the easternmost street in South Beach, and stems from south of First to 15th Street, running in a north-south direction. Ocean Drive is responsible for the South Beach aesthetic that most out-of-town visitors expect. It is a popular Spring Break and tourist area, including the famous, yet predominantly local, Pearl and Nikki Beach night spots. Washington Avenue: is one of the best-known streets in South Beach. Running parallel with Ocean and Collins, Washington is notorious for having some of the world's largest and most popular nightclubs, such as Cameo and Mansion. During "season" (October 15 to May 15) the street is jammed with traffic until early in the morning (as late as 6 am) every night of the week. In the 1990s explosion of South Beach as a nightclub venue, its nightclub moguls included Ingrid Casares, whose investors included the singer Madonna. South Beach Park: on Ocean Drive and 2nd St Washington Park: on Washington Av and 2nd St Historical Museum of Southern Florida 101 W. Flagler Street Miami, Florida 33130 Miami Metro Zoo 12400 SW 152nd Street Miami, Florida 33177 Nightlife South Beach has an active club and bar scene. It is host to more than 150 clubs and other venues, most of which close at 5 am. South Beach can be expensive, and access to nightclubs is often difficult for non-locals who do not have connections, or do not plan their evenings. Nightlife in South Beach is dynamic and ever-changing, although The Clevelander and Mac's Club Deuce have remained steadfast tourist destinations on Ocean Drive for well over a decade. The average club is only open for about a season or less. Recently, the local government has been taking steps to prevent these short-lived venues from establishing themselves at all.

Anyway I hadn't seen her for months so I went down to London for her birthday but had a fight the night before I left (the night of her birthday) because I had said I wanted to go clubbing with her and and other friends but when I realized I had very little money and that the club closed at 5am(I had to leave at 6am) I told her I couldn't go and she got pissed off. I have sent her a few texts and I called her when I got back home. She answered that call but said she was in a hurry so it was short phone call. I haven't heard for her other than that since London. She is in edinburgh this weekend and it would be cool to know if she is talking to me... What do you think and what should I do to say sorry to her?
