Im going crazy with too many rules! HELP?
Ok, I am 14 and live with my Grandmother. She gives me way too many rules! Here are just some of them:
- Be in bed and sleeping by 9:30
- Cant watch t.v.
- She has to listen to every call, read every text, email
- She has to watch me when I am on the computer and read everything (shes not here right now)
- I am not allowed to be by myself for more than 3 hours
- I am not allowed to baby sit even though I am trained in C.P.R., baby sitting and rescue breathing
- I am not allowed to watch movies in the theater unless I go with a family member
- I can only go out (to the mall, theater, for a walk, etc.) once a month

- I am not allowed to go outside even on the patio without her being out there
- I am not allowed to eat in between meals

- I am not allowed to go by myself in stores
- I am not allowed to listen to music with swear words
- I am not allowed to wear more than 1 article of clothing that is black or dark colored
- I am not allowed to dye my hair
And you know the rules that every parent gives to little kids? Like hold my hand when you cross the street look both ways, dont talk to strangers, etc.? Yeah she always wants to hold my hand when we cross the street that is why I make my brother walk by her!
Im allowed to move out when Im 21 I think she said
I have broken one of these rules before and I got grounded for 3 months. (I jumped in the pool before I asked) I didnt really notice a difference in the rules when I was grounded though because I have so many restrictions even when Im not
Answer: I think these rules are very extreme! I thought my parents were strict! I'm the same age as you and I have a couple of those rules but none are as extreme as that and most of them I agree with because they're for my own safety.
I think you should have a talk with your grandmother and see if she is open to comprise. Explain to her that you feel you are mature enough to handle things like baby sitting and swimming. Try to understand that she was raised a long time ago and your grandmother loves very much and only gives you these rules because she doesn't want you to get hurt and wants you to do well in life.
Hope you can work something out with her.
Stay strong!

How many times larger is the frequency of the new version than the old one?
Your niece is working on a unique science fair project - a clock built around a small mass vibrating on a little spring. Her prototype version is working ok, but its running too slow. Given your experience in this course, you suggest to her that a stiffer spring should oscillate faster, so she goes out and finds a new one with stiffness constant ("K") that is a factor 2.3 times larger than the prototype spring. How many times larger is the frequency of the new version than the old one?
Answer: smple harmonic motion> Force F = - kx
m a = - kx
a = - (k/m) x = - w^2 x
where w = 2 pi f, f = frequency of oscillation
4 pi^2 f^2 = k/m
f = [1/2 pi] sqrt[k/m]
=================
f2/f1 = sqrt [k2/m] / sqrt[k1/m] = sqrt[k2/k1]
f2/f1 = sqrt[2.3] = 1.516
f2 = 1.516 f1
1.516 times larger than old version

All too often, I see 10:13 on the clock, what can this mean?
This started happening a few years ago, at least. It hasnt been consitent over the last few years...but there are periods of time, where I consitently see the number 10:13 on the clock.
Ive read that it is no coincidence that if you see a number many times when you glance at the clock, that it has some significance in numerology.
The weird thing about this number, is that it also happens to be the date of my anniversary with my "first love"...October 13th (10/13) I was with him through most of high school and after...three and a half years of my life, and was cheated on many times..it was an on again/off again relationship.
At one point...and I dont remember if we were together at the this point or not...I got into my car and its was 10:13 am...the total miles for the car had 1013 in it and the tripometer was 101.3
I know nothing of numerology, so I have no clue what this could mean...
but is it possible it is a sign. Kinda like in dreams too.
When we finally broke up for the last time, I had quite a few dreams about being back together with him. And I could feel myself, in my dream, thinking, "Man, I cant believe im back with him, now I have to break up with him all over again"...and then Id wake up feeling SO relieved that it was a dream and that I wasnt back with him again.
(we broke up about 4 years ago)
Well, for the last couple of months Ive been having those same kind of dreams, about the same guy...even though I havent talked to him in forever. But, a couple months ago, I did break up with my most recent boyfriend. Weve been a little on again/off again as well...and I think about him ALL the time. I know that I deserve better and I want to move on, but I still miss him and think a lot about him.
Anyway...I feel as though those dreams are my subconscious way of telling me to remember that I kept going back to my high school boyfriend, and look how much time I wasted going back and forth...I dont want to be in the routine again.
Do you think maybe seeing this number (1013) is also a sign, telling me to remember that i can move on, and be happier without him, if I just give it time?
I could be completely wrong...and If I am, please enlighten me...but it drives me NUTS with how often I see 1013! lol
Please only answers from people who know what theyre talking about :) thanks
Answer: Do you really look at the clock two times a day? And is this the ONLY number you have come across the past several days?
What you are experiencing is Confirmation Bias.- very common.
You see LOTS of different numbers more than you think.
Im sure there are thousands of other times you look at the clock when it's NOT 1013 but you dont remember seeing other numbers because your mind is preoccupied with the number 1013.
What probably happened was you saw 1013 for the first time. Then on another occasion by coincidence you see 1013 again and this time you remember seeing that number before so the number becomes "significant". So each time you see 1013, the significance grows, you keep reinforcing the idea you are seeing this number a lot. But if you made a mental note of EVERY single number you come across in a day or a week, then you will find there is nothing special about the number 1013.
You are simply remembering the hits (the times you see 1013) and ignoring the misses (the times you see other numbers). This makes it seem like you are seeing 1013 all the time.
Once you become AWARE of a number, you will always keep seeing it now.

Is my boyfriend too clingy or is it just me?
One thing about me is that no matter what happens between me and a person, I ALWAYS feel like its my fault, or Im just overreacting & this is one of those cases. I think my boyfriend may be a bit clingy. Hes really sweet, listens to my problems, gives me advice, and loves me for who I am despite my flaws. But hes a little clingy to me. If I dont answer my phone hell call constantly a few more times until I eventually pick up, If I dont hell get mad/upset with me. Sometimes I confront him about it and he says that he isnt mad and that Im the one whose getting all heated, but heres an example of certain situations
Hell call and I might be sleeping, or with a few friends, or somewhere where I dont have any time to talk. I dont answer and just figure that Ill call him and explain it to him later. Well most of the time he never gives me any time to actually call him back, hell just keep calling or texting and whenever I do answer hell just seem so upset. He doesnt yell at me or anything but you can tell by the way he talks that hes upset asking me question like "Why didnt answer your phone?" "You never answer your phone for me" "I always have to go through this everyday". But the thing is that Im a college student and sometimes I just dont have time to talk to him constantly everyday and our conversations be a bit dull sometimes. He actually never really has anything to say (He isnt in college by the way, he just works and doesnt have many friends...actually he has no friends and he reminds me constantly that Im all that he has)
Sometimes when I dont answer his calls and call him back immediately after he calls hell pretend that hes busy and doesnt want to talk. Im like what the hell? You just called like 10 minutes ago?
Not too long ago I told him how I was going to shower and that Id call him back afterwards. Well I ended up cleaning my room, then showering which took a while. I was about to call him and then he called me back as soon as I got out and just was kind of rude on the phone. I explained to him how I just got out and he responded "Come on now, why every time I call you, you always say that", "You been in the shower that long?". So I had to explain to him what happened but its like he was so upset just because I didnt call him at a certain time he felt was right. I felt like he was just waiting by his clock timing me waiting for me call him. so that just really got me heated because it was like he was excusing me of lying. So I responded with "Its not that effin serious!" and we got into this big argument now over nothing. I
I dont get it, if at the end of the day I talk to you why should it matter who called who, or who got to the phone first or what time we talked? Its really getting to me. I love him I do and sometimes I dont know if its just me or if its him. Sometimes I feel like when Im with other people besides him he gets upset, even if its with girls or family. He says that Im "dissing him" to be with them. The first time I moved into college I was with him that whole day moving in, later on that day after he left I started talking and getting to know a few girls that I just met and some friends who Ive been knowing and he called me so many times and his excuse was that we never talked all day. So I had to leave the room and talk on the phone with him. I just dont know what to do its so annoying to me now . If I go out sometimes with other people (which I rarely do) he usually calls me before I can even make it to the phone to call him.

I keep on seeing 11:11?
It has been happening for a little bit more than a week now and it kind of freaks me out. Every time I look at the clock on my laptop or even my phone I would constantly see 11:11. It even happens 2 times in a day and I never miss it and today I opened the fridge I saw 11, 11 on my water bottle. It may be a coincidence but I doubt it. Is there any significant in seeing 11:11 too many times though?
Answer: So is this the ONLY number you have come across the last several days? I doubt it.
Im sure there are thousands of other times you look at the clock or anywhere and the number was NOT 11:11 but you dont remember seeing other numbers because your mind is preoccupied with the number 11:11.
What probably happened was you saw 11:11 for the first time.

But if you made a mental note of EVERY single number you come across in a day or a week, then you will find there is nothing special about the number 1111.
You are simply remembering the hits (the times you see 11:11) and ignoring the misses (the times you see other numbers). This makes it seem like you are seeing 11:11 all the time.
Once you become AWARE of a number, you will always keep seeing it now.
I hate to say this but its nothing special or paranormal. It really is your brain playing tricks on you. Its called the Confirmation Effect- very common.
I always see the number 15.

Will i ever be more than just the guy bff?
Ok, i so Ive know this girl for several years(which i will call gff), met in Jr. College and became good friends at the University. For her last year she was even my neighbor and we shared a balcony together. We are both graduated now and have dated other people but never each other. There has also been some sexual tensions throughout our friendship which i have noticed. We even made one of those stupid packs where if we are both single by 30 wed marry each other.
Currently i am single, broke up with my ex about 6 months ago for various reason, not related to the gff (that i am aware of anyways), although she never really liked her. Anyways, i am single and my gff has a bf, who she has been with for over 2 or 3 years (ive been friends with her for over 5 years, so before they were together), hes a great guy and all just super busy. So when she has time off and her bf doesnt she hangs out with me, we go on lunches, dinners and museum and junk. For her resent 26th bday i and another gf of ours went wine-tasting and rented a room for us 3, with no bf in sight.
The Bf although a good guy is a workaholic. He doesnt have too much time for her, which she complains to me about, which seem to be his biggest drawback. She loves him and has thoughts of marriage but nothing super serious(or maybe is just wishful thinking on my part i dont know). She talks and sees me more than the Bf sometimes, which i dont mind except i want more. I want the holding hands, going to family and/or work functions together, cuddling and of course the sex (which we talk about and are pretty open with each other).
Now, im not the type of guy that will make her break up with her current Bf ( duno if i even could), have i done it before, yes, but i want her to break up with her Bf if she wants to on her own. Im 25 and she is 26 and well her biological clock, and i guess mine a little too, is ticking, which is why i figure she is playing with the notion of marriage with her current Bf. So what should i do? Will i always be the guy bff? I figure i just continue to be her guy bff and just see where this goes. Obviously some years from now we wont be able to be friends either due to her Bf (which he doesnt seem to care right now bout me being close to her) or a possible a new future gf of mine. I am also looking to go back to school and get my Masters, which means i could possibly be thousands of miles away in a year or 2, and could possibly end our friendship due to the distance anyways.
Again, she knows i like her, Ive playfully told her she should leave her current Bf and come with me in several different ways and times, but she is still with him. And again she also likes me, is it really just as friends, i dont know. Should i do anything? Should i stop hanging out with her? I am not going to be there forever, so what should i do, if anything at all? Maybe im just thinking too much into it (which she, the gff, has told me about my relationships and life in general many times, lol) ? So now whats the next step for me?
Answer: it sounds like you really care for this girl i think if you come out and say it she would be very happy it really does sound like she likes you back and has some suspicion that you like her but she just isn't sure adn never will be till you tell her adn it sounds like your friendship is so strong this wouldn't hurt it and if your worried about going away to school then you really should tell her and if she doesn't feel the same i don't think it would ruin your friendship since there is already sexual tension between you two and in actuality if you tell her and she breaks up with her boyfriend it doesn't mean you broke them up it means she liked you back but didn't know if you were ever going to come out and say you liked her and didn't want to ruin her friendship so don't ever feel bad if it does work out with you two

Is my story any good so far? Please help!?
Im a thirteen year old girl and just wrote this down this morning. Im curious to know if it sparks anybodys interest. Also, I LOVE constructive criticism. If you think it needs to be said, please say it! I love trying to improve my writing!
I stare blankly at the alarm clock, the little red numbers blinking at me in a perfect rhythm. I know what time it is, even if the alarm clock doesn’t. I know I should be getting up soon, but the rain outside my window and the events that will come today make me stay in the comfort of my bed for just a while longer.
A week ago, I never would have thought I’d be doing this. Ever since college my life consisted of waking up, going to work, coming home, occasionally going out with some friends or on a date, taking a shower, and going to sleep. I was perfectly content with this, and I never thought anything would change, or maybe I just didn’t think about my future, which I know now was a stupid thing to do.
In a way, I’ve always been the type of girl that hid behind her smarts. Throughout school, people knew Brandi Henson as the girl nobody knew anything about. Sure, I had some friends, even a few best friends, but I was withdrawn from the world and stuck to my routine. I never really thought anything of it, but my parents questioned me all the time about different things, always worrying there was some underlying cause for my social awkwardness. I eventually grew out of that awkward stage, however, and the only thing that really stuck with me was the need for recurring events. My routine was my security blanket, and I clung on to it as a lifeline. I like having a plan, a schedule. I like knowing exactly what I’m doing and when I’m doing it. Change is a scary thing to anyone, and for me I felt like that fear was multiplied too many times to count. Maybe that’s why this whole thing has been so unsettling, although I’m sure it would be frightening to anyone.
Exactly one week ago I was faced with a pretty drastic event. It had started off as a normal day-my alarm clock went off at 5 o’clock and I got up and got ready for my job at the museum. I grabbed the keys and my purse from the kitchen table and headed for the door. I had thrown on my jacket and was just huddling into the car to try and avoid the normal Phoenix rain when I realized I had forgotten the packet of articles relating to a new exhibit I was in charge of setting up. I quickly ran back up to my office and grabbed the yellow envelope. As I headed back towards the car I decided to save a couple seconds by walking across the yard instead of the walkway. My heel got stuck in the grass and I fell straight forward, slamming my head into the pavement of my driveway.
So, here I was, in pain and lying awkwardly just a couple feet away from my car, soaking wet from the rain that was still falling violently onto not only myself, but also the papers that I had spent hours gathering the night before. After a couple of minutes, I evaluated my head and made the decision that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed. I cautiously stood up and made my way to my car, a comfortable little Civic Coupe. After peeking in the side-view mirror to assure myself my head wasn’t bleeding I turned back around and headed towards my house for the second time, making sure I took the walkway.
Thats all for now, but Ill probably keep working on it. The idea is that Brandi witnessed a murder. This will hopefully open her up to the world a little more, but Im really not sure where Im going with it.
Thanks!
Answer: That's not bad at all. You make the usual mistake of new authors in overwriting. Take another look and edit the passage. Check to see if you can say the same things in a different way using less words. You can make a start by rationing your adjectives and cutting right down on adverbs.
The first two paragraphs don't make an awful lot of sense; they seem to be short-circuiting part of the story. Your first few words should really grab the reader. Many people choose which book to buy by what's written in the first few lines so they have to be awesome.

Where Coughlin First Laid Down the Law
INDIANAPOLIS -- At some point during the telecast of Sundays Super Bowl, the cameras will almost surely cut to a close-up of Giants CoachTom Coughlin -- his face red and his frustration evident -- as he upbraids an unlucky player after a poor tackle or a missed assignment. Coughlins intensity is famous. Announcers talk about it, fans laugh about - New York Giants coach Tom Coughlins personal intensity and obsession with detail can be traced all the way back to his first head coaching job at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Too shy to tell him I like him...but Im gonna do it? Long but any suggestions are greatly appreciated.?
Next weekend is the time. Im going "muster every once of confidence I have..." as Teddy Geiger says and ask out my crush tell him I like him. Its been a year for this crush and next weekend is the first time in forever that we have to close our store together. My plan is to walk down to his side of the building and ask if hes got plans and ask if he wants to grab food after work. Then after dinner tell him. Plan B: He works later than I do so maybe if he says hes got plans, then I could just hang around with him and tell him. (He works till an hour after the store closes so well be there alone pretty much.) Im just nervous and its gotten to the point where I need to tell him cuz Im tired of trying to figure this crush thing out.
This weekend I think confirmed the fact that he likes me too. I went down to his end and we havent been able to talk due to our different schedule. SO I went down there and he hugged me and he said it cant be 3 oclock already (he knew thats when I was leaving. ) He got this phone call where a customer over the phone was asking prices on a product and he had to walk to another aisle to check. So as he started to walk away he looked back and noticed I wasnt walking with him (I was just gonna wait till he got back) He looked at me and said "walk with me?" SIGH. Then a little later he got distracted again and a customer needed him to do stuff. I stepped around the corner to sit and wait for him and was chit chatting with some of our mutual guy friends. And he peeked his head around the corner and I met his eyes and smiled. (I think he was trying to see if I was still there . *SIGH*) Then when he was done all four us walked outside to talk (he and I in front and the other two guys in back)
Yesterday, we talked before I left again. He got called away again but when he saw me still standing there waiting for him to get back he smiled to himself. He told me about how he was switching from FB to Tumblr due to too many people in his bizness on FB. He wondered if I was there on Tumblr. Also he hugged me when we first started talking and then when he got back from his customer it was like some magnetic force for us to hug each other again.
Honestly this little thing we do with each other has happened over the course of a year. But were both shy around each other. I really like him. And I have to tell him because its eating away at me. Do you all think its the right time?
Answer: well if u really like him i would tell him as soon as possible because if u dont he might think u dont like him so he might just go out with someone else it happened to me too so i know what its like when your crush thought u hated him now hes going out with some other girl so ask him dont make your friends tell him he needs to hear it from u

I Keep Staying Up Too Late?
I just find Im staying up so late these days, a year ago or 2 years ago I was going to bed promptly at 10-11pm.
But now it ranges between 11 to 1 weekdays and 12 to 2 on weekends.
I just feel that I have so little time to realx and reflect that I need to stay up late to give myself that time, I also really like the peacefullness and comfort of sitting at my pc...
BUT I know I need to stop... I jst feel that I cant help it though. Is it because as Im 17 my body clock is changing? Is it because Im losing discipline? Do many other teens do this?
Answer: Are you getting up on time every morning? or are you struggling? Are you sleeping very late on the weekends?
Asa teen you really do need 8 - 9 hours of sleep every night. Try to create a bedtime routine so that you creating a pattern and make sure that you get up at the same time everyday - even weekends. Use those early morning hours on the weekend to play on the computer or to get other things (like your homework) done so that you have more free time on the weekends. Set a timer onto the light switch by the computer so that it goes at out the same time and is a visual reminder that it is time to wind down for the night.
Once you move out to college and work, having a set schedule will help you achieve.
Good luck!

When the time is 2:18, how many degrees are there in the acute angle between the minute hand and the hour hand?
When the time is 2:18, how many degrees are there in the acute angle between the minute hand and the hour hand on a clock?
Ive been trying and trying, and I finally came to 39 degrees. Can someone tell me if I made a mistake and if I did, explain how to find the right answer?
(Just in case, this got me the the beginning too:
-When the clock hand spins all the way around, thats 360 degrees, not 60.
-When its 2:18, the hour hand is not directly on the 2. Its a little past 2, and yes, that counts.)
I got my answer by:
(360/60)*18=108
(360/720)*138=69
108-69=39
Other things:
2 hours and 18 minutes= 138 minutes
2 hours= 120 minutes
12 hours= 720 minutes
12 hours= 360 degrees
720 minutes= 360 degrees
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your answer, but the answer is actually suppose to be ___degrees, not minutes.
Answer: You are correct.
There are 60 minutes around the clock and 1 minute takes up 360/60 degrees. Which is 6°.
When the hand is on 18 minutes, it is 6 × 18 degrees from o'clock. Which is 108°.
There are 60 minutes per hour so from number to number on the clock, there are 60 divisions. There are 12 hours around the clock so 12 × 60 will give you the amount of division around the clock where 1 division is one minute - this is the hour hand.
When it is 1 o'clock, the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand is 360/12 degrees which is 30°.
18/60 = 0.3
18 minutes is 0.3 of an hour. So 2:18 would be 2.3 hours.
2.3 × 30 = 69
Take the 108° from 69° and you get 39°.
Answer = 39°

If YOU are a single man: Are these reasons enough for you NOT TO GET MARRIED?
Is marriage on its way to becoming the relationship equivalent of our appendix (in that its no longer needed)?
IF you are a man who is thinking of getting married, or you know a man who MIGHT be thinking of getting married, are these reasons ENOUGH for you NOT TO WANT TO GET MARRIED?
Please tell me what you think, are these valid reasons why smart men of today won’t commit to a marriage: ????
=============
Reason 1: Smart Men have figured out how to get sex without committing to marriage (usually it involves escorts because more and more single women over 30 these days DONT want sex). These gifted intelligent men have stated that the Internet has made meeting women for sexual flings much easier now than meeting women in the past, from escort ads to cheating web sites, it is so much easier now.
Men don’t mind becoming friends with a woman, thats okay, but risking ones financial future just for the hope of a little bit of sex that soon fizzles out and is gone for good is just too much risk for too little reward these days.
Reason 2: Smart men are now enjoying the benefits of having all the amenities a woman can bring to the table without having to sign their life away forever. These smart men clean their own house and cook their own food, and they can now buy appliances or services to do the things that wives used to do for husbands (dish washer, washing machine, maid services). They know that living together without a Marriage license is less risky than getting married. They also enjoy the happy friendship with their lady friends and they also share expenses. No need for these men to get married when they got all of the benefits but none of the financial risks that divorce comes with.
Reason 3: These savvy smart men have wised up to the “woman of today”. Those women that feel compelled to trade up from man to man by taking each one for his financial empire are running out of victims. These smart men are on to their game and usually refuse to ever get married.
Reason 4: Smart men know that marriage is traditional, but they also know tat the perks are just not there anymore. Women have the upper hand, in societal consesus and family courts. Smart men know that there is no reason today for a modern man to get married. Smart men are fully aware of the tremendous risks a man takes when he gets married now adays, they know that marriage can easily become a recipie for a ruined life for a man; spend a fourtune on your lawyer AND HERS, loose more than half your wealth, lose your house, car, and more often times than not you can get accused of something terrible that will ruin your reputation. Smart men know that its just become something to avoid. (And people wonder why men shy away from it nowadays.)
Reason 5: Smart Men want to wait until they are older to have kids. Although men understand that women worry about their biological clocks, they say they don’t have to. And they don’t want to be pressured into tying the knot by women who want marriage in order to have kids.
Reason 6: Smart men savor their freedom to enjoy hobbies, late nights out and freedom from extra financial burdens. Smart Men know that marriage will require far too many changes and compromises.
Reason 7: Smart men have learned that its time to turn the tables on modern women by forcing them to hunt for the men, not the other way around. Smart men get a kick out of watching women eat each other over one man, except theyre not fighting over him, theyre fighting for his money, and the smart men know this fact all too well !
Reason 8: Smart men all too often have heard this sentence: "I accompanied my brother on a visit to his divorce lawyer today. Hes going to lose everything he has worked his whole life working hard for before he got married! Don’t do it! Don’t get married!
=================
So tell me, what is your opinion? Does marriage for men these days still make sense? Do YOU think its a good idea for men?
Answer: personally i think that everyone should get married.
no one deserves to be.......happy.
if you're answering questions such as this, you're not ready to get hitched.

would you read my book?
As the school bus rattled down the country lane towards her home, Kitty edged her way forward, one seat at a time to the front of the bus. Her brother Lester was right behind her. Although the kids weren’t supposed to move about while the bus was in motion, it was a Wednesday and that meant that Kitty would break the rules. She just had to get off that bus first and race into the garage to try to get the backdoor key from where it hung inside the garage cupboard. If Kitty managed to get there before Lester, she might, just might, be safe. If Lester got there first then Kitty would be put through an ordeal of terror that would last from four o’clock, when they got off the bus, until after six when their mother would return home from her weekly shopping trip in town. Two hours of hell is a long time in a little girl’s life. Kitty knew this; she’d been through it all too many times before.
The Larson family lived on an isolated farm in South Texas. It should have been the ideal situation to bring up the four children and in most respects it was. At the age of twelve, Kitty was the youngest of the four, with two brothers and a sister. Margaret was the eldest and for the past year had been away at university in North Texas. She was too far away to help Kitty even if she had known what was going on. Really, it probably wouldn’t have made any difference whether Margaret was there or not, Lester was so devious and so cunning that he would have simply worked around this and made his attack in another way. Lester also had one other thing working strongly in his favour and that is the simple fact that abused children do not tell on their abuser, and certainly not when it is a family member. This is especially true when the abuse is sexual. In any case, Margaret was not someone that Kitty could have asked for help. As nice as Margaret was she was as timid as a mouse and frightened of her own shadow; not the one to choose as an ally against a sexual predator. Plus, Margaret always looked after Number One first and this was not something she’d have thought Number One should be mixed up in.
Lester was the second eldest and at seventeen was a powerful figure of a young man, sometimes more like a young bull than a human being. His strong and masculine physic was filled out with the proportions of a man at least ten years older. These muscles had been honed from years of hard work helping his father, Fred, on the farm. Lester had been a more than willing helper from a very early age and as time went by, Fred knew he could depend on Lester and over the years gave him more and more responsibility. Fred believed in Lester and under no circumstances would he hear a single word against him. Lester had a fiery temper, he loved to control people and, if the truth were known, he was a bully. This was in sharp contrast to Albert, the third-born child.
Albert was basically lazy by nature. He was a gentle lad and but easily led. This characteristic often got him into trouble, starting off at first with small things and as he got older, progressing onto more serious things but never anything too serious or even remotely violent. It also meant that he was, almost always, in Fred’s bad books. Fred was an honest hard-working man and had been ever since he himself had been a lad. He simply could not understand the distractions and motivations in Albert’s life. This basic difference in outlook meant that there was usually a degree of strife between them. It also meant that although Albert and Kitty were close both as friends and in age, he could not help Kitty. Lester had too many things to hold over him. Lester was nothing if not a bully and there was always something that Lester could use to bully Albert into silence. Albert loved explosive things, whatever form they took, and could be counted on to have the makings of a homemade bomb or some exotic shells for his gun that he shouldn’t have had or something else that Lester could dig up and use to make Albert’s life hell. Albert’s ‘bombs’ were just homemade explosions that he would send up off in one of the far pastures behind the woods. For him it was more akin to the launching of a rocket rather than just blasting a hole in the ground and no matter how well he tried to hide it, Lester always knew both before and after the event.
Although Albert knew exactly what was going on, Kitty would never ask him for help. She knew he was too frightened for his own skin and would be bound to turn her down. The trouble was, she could also understand why: she knew which one of her brothers it would be that her father would believe if it came right down to it. Even about this. Or rather,especially about this.
By the time the bus pulled into the drive, Kitty was perched on the front seat nearest the door, ready to leap out just as soon as the door started to open. Lester was in the adjacent front seat but he didn
Answer: yes,it's very fine.

My husband and I are having too many problems, Im 20 weeks pregnant?
I am now 20 weeks pregnant and my husband and I have been fighting a lot. I feel like I have been getting too depressed due to the fact that the only positive thing I have to wake up to is my little boy, he can always put a smile on my face. Last night I wrote my husband a little letter telling him how for now on it will only result in a one sided battle, because I am not going to put any stress on the baby. Well today I just stayed in bed for about 2 hours staring at the clock while he played world of warcraft, he is completely obsessed with it, so there for I get no help from him all day( we have a 14 month old already btw). Today he was suppose to take me to see my niece because he birthday was a couple of days ago and he was also suppose to take me shopping for little girl clothes because we found out friday we are having a girl=] Well he didnt take me anywhere today, I was completely upset because I feel like he never keeps his promises=[. So at 5 he left for work, changed the computer password so I couldnt get on, I called him over a dozen times heard his coworkers laughing and saying things about me in the background, it just really hurt me, and almost every time I called he would hang up on me. I just feel really depressed and I dont know what to do, I really need some advice. Thanks so much.
Oh and every time I start to cry or something he has no sympathy for my feelings and calls me a baby, I always tell him its my hormones and Im just really sensitive right now, but he says if you were more mature you wouldnt say that.
He changed the password because we were fighting and I didnt have the strength to sit there and yell while I cry and be called a baby again and again, so I just walked away from the situation and went in the bathroom and locked the door and thought about everything, he did it because he knew I needed to do some work=[ wasnt nice!
Answer: That is just wrong.
I know us women can be hormonal and sometimes witchy when we are pregnant (trust me, I have been through it 3 times), but there is absolutely no reason in the world for your husband to let his coworkers bash you. They have nothing to do with your marriage and therefore should stay out of it.
The World of Warcraft thing has to end as well. I have been there with my husband too. Same game, same problem with spending hours playing that stupid thing, neglecting other people, etc.
Well guess what? Be stronger than I was and pull the plug on thing. He has no right to lock you out of the computer and waste hours on pixels when he should be spending time with his son and wife. It is your house and your computer too. So unplug the computer and cut off the internet connection. He will thank you for it in the future.
And do not get all stressed out over it. It is true, it is not good for you, your son, or your soon-to-be new daughter.
Good luck and hang in there!

Is time our enemy or our friend?
Is time our enemy or our friend?
by Warren Domke
Little child can’t wait for a treat, or time spent in childlike pleasure
In his young mind each hour lasts an eternity
How can he know how many hours he has ahead?
How time will change him from a child to a boy to a man?
High school girl watches the clock, waiting for “him” to call or come by
She aches when they are apart, and her heart leaps when he’s there.
If his attention is too much she blushes, if too little she hurts.
How can she know how many hours it will take for her to grow into a woman?
Young man hurries to catch a bus or a train or a plane.
Cabbie, hurry up. I’m running late. There’s an extra tip if we make it on time.
Plane is late. Will I make my connection in Atlanta?
How can he know how these hours and minutes fall away like sand in an hourglass?
Woman watches her child asleep, wondering what she’ll grow up to be.
A woman of leisure? A wife and mother? A nurse? A teacher?
She’s little now—her mother worries about her. Will her choices be good?
How can she know that they’ll grow and age together, and the hours they share will pass?
Man waits near a telephone for a call from a grown child.
A new grandchild is coming. The minutes are like hours and the hours like days.
Will it be a boy or a girl this time? Will they be able to share those precious hours
that seemed to slip away with his own children?
How can he know what moments to value, and which to ignore?
Old woman rocks in a chair thinking about the days and hours she’s lived.
A love here, a child there, a good friend and some she could have done without.
How many people she’s known are gone now? Are they waiting somewhere for her?
How can she know that those hours past are gone forever except in her memories?
Time. It drags, it flies, it soars, it plunges. Good times, bad times. Times you cherish, And times you want to fade away forever. A broken heart here. A lost moment there.
It adds up to a lifetime.
How can we know when we are young how to cherish the hours and those who populate them?
Time—my enemy and my friend. A child, a schoolgirl, a young man, a mother, a grandfather, an old woman, and me. Aging and growing together and sharing time for a while.
If threescore and ten is all Im getting Ive got two and a half years to get it all done. I hope I have a lot more than that. Maybe fourscore and ten?
Answer: Time is simply the gauge that measures where we've been and where we are going. It is mechanical in its eternal existence. It is neither friend or foe.. it "is" and nothing more. Life however is a culmination of decisions, choices, and random occurrences; we do have control over such things. We should not waste our lives by wasting time then you are your own worst enemy. That is the enemy you should never make peace, as for time it continues forward, regardless, and threatens no one..
I enjoyed the read, it was insightful, and time well spent.

Is my writing too off-topic or distracting?
In three days, an eclipse will tower over my hometown, Terram. The moon wont cover the sun in this kind of eclipse, but a shadow will be cast. A shadow capable of drenching the entire town in fear, no matter how brightly the sun shines. Why? Because on that day, the Unknown will reopen. The catacombs beneath our town that havent been opened in nearly a decade. I was too small to remember the last time it opened, but now I would have to face it with my own eyes: a hundred men, descending the makeshift cobblestones steps into eternal night. Where they go after they venture beyond the darkness within it is unknown, even by those who have witnessed its opening dozens of times. Although a hundred men may not seem like many, each man is more than just a body and soul. With every person that the Unknown claims, six are taken away from the people of Terram: a father, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather, a nephew, and a son.
Click, click. Fwiiiing.
My eyes went to the grandfather clock against the back wall. Its old, rusted gears struggled to grind and keep the ever-changing time, but still managed to bring each click and whirr to life. Each of its purring chimes reeled me further away from my thoughts and back to reality. The clock face materialized in front of me. It was only nine oclock. Only a minute had passed since Id last looked at it.
When the last of the clocks chimes faded away and its quiet ticks resumed, silence trickled back into the room. In the hopes of speeding up time, I turned back to my work. My pitiful broom moved back and forth in my hands, but its scratchy bristles barely cleaned the floor. I couldnt stop thinking about it, the Unknown. While I was alone at the Inn, time moved so much more slowly.
Of course I was never really alone; Mr. Franley, the Innkeeper, was always in his room at the end of the hall, but somehow, his company didn‘t count. Sixteen of the seventeen available rooms were always empty, otherwise. And that didn’t count the one that was lent to me. I was only given that room because I had nowhere else to go. Before I started working at the Inn eight years ago, I was living on the street. I dont have much work to do around here; I never did. I swept, cleaned the chimney, and cooled the wood furnace. "Im only letting you work here because youre small enough to fit in the chimney to clean, and dont forget it," Mr. Franley would always say.
And then, as if on cue, the floor began to rattle and shake. I winced as the furnace hissed and moaned from behind the door to the storage room. That bothersome noise could be none other than the furnace. Before long, the entire lobby was a sauna. The little furnace spewed heat throughout the Inn both night and day, in sweltering heat and blistering cold. After pounding on it with a wrench and hoping for the best, I thought I finally fixed it, but Id only made it worse; now it wouldnt turn off at all. But it wasn’t the heat that bothered me, it was the noise. It seemed to be one of the only two things that ran 24/7 around here.
The other thing was Chase Franley’s mouth. Chase was a charming boy who could easily bewitch anyone. I doubted there was a soul in Terram who didn’t know his name, as he always seemed to say what people wanted to hear. Im sure there were many girls who would have given much of the money they had to spend a night at the Inn in the hopes of making Chase happy, but even the Innkeeper’s charming grandson wasn’t enough to bring business to the Inn. The fact of the matter was that the people of Terram were just too poor to stay at an Inn. And if you could walk to your house only a few blocks away, why bother? The other reason was that everyone in town knew that the Caupona Inn was only good for one thing, and no one was happy about it. Not even Mr. Franley, whose Inn would bring in a fortune on the day that the Unknown would be reopened.
