Open Question: Why is my dad so stupid?

He's such a HORRIBLE role-model! He watches porn, he still drinks beer, he makes stupid excuses, and he's really abusive when he's drunk towards my mom and sister. He's 50 years-old and he is soo amateur. He keeps going on my laptop or my sister's, to watch porn... I know this because he doesn't delete the history before finishing his business. He also drinks while watching porn... It's disgusting! Today, I asked my dad if he could steer me to go to this fitness club that I attend to, and he responded that he's too sleepy, sleepy to go. And while I was going upstairs, my dad wasn't asleep... He was on my sister's computer probably watching porn... BLEH! Is your dad like mine?

But everytime i asked someone to take me to the hospital they just gave me an excuse to how they couldn't. Why did i dream this ?

Open Question: What would you do in this situation?

My partner may have fathered another womans child during an irrisponsible one night stand before he met me. I am now heavily pregnant and the lady in question only decided to tell us 2 months ago that my partner is a possible candidate for the paternity of her child. We offered to pay the full price for a private DNA test (which is over £500, alot of money by anybodies standards). For the past two months every we have recieved is excuses why she cant go through with it e.g. she is busy, she doesnt have any photo ID and doesnt have time to receive signed photos etc. We have offered to take her for every these things but still no joy. Now she is insisting that he can be the only dad, even though when she first told us, there was more than one other candidate for paternity. It may sound greedy but this whole situation is driving me crazy. I would never cease my partner being a part of this childs life.........if it is his, but how can we ever move on with our lives if we dont know the truth, especially that needy child. I dont understand why she is so reluctant to carry out a DNA. It is beginning to effect our relationship and causing problems with my pregnancy from the stress of it every. We would like to take her to court to demand DNA but solicitors have advised us that it could cost over £10,000 (which we dont have) for the posibility of the child not being his, and even if it is, because she has already registered the birth, it would cost us further for him to attain any rights to look the child if she decides she wants to be silly about access. Any advice, thanks x P.S We have already sat down with her and explained we will be there to support her and the child if it turns out to be my partners......She said at that point that she would do the DNA but 6 weeks on and we are still in limbo x

Open Question: 17 and bad memory...affects my studies :(?

Well, my dad has bad memory but he is 54 and has an excuse..but im only 17 and ive noticed how my memory has deteriorated over the last few years. I can't remember brilliant times i had with my best pal, i can't remember birthdays or names, and i can't remember things ive done just a day ago.. but what most worries me is cant remember things learned at school... my last set of grades (GCSEs) weren't as good as i expected before taking the exams...but when i took the exams i realised how i couldnt remember anything and was just blank.. I'm really worried, even though i've got until May next year, about blanking in the exams (final exams before uni) as i have done every my life (that has got worse).. i'm not dumb, i'm intelligent, im a good student, work difficult and do well in class... but when i receive my exam results i feel as if i'm being punished... i think teachers also expected more from my results too.. but ive just moved back to the UK, after being in Spain for 5 years..where i did my GCSEs.. But not only does it bother me with my studies but i feel rude asking people things over and over again because i've forgotten..and my best pal reminding me of so many amazing times we've had that i just don't remember at every :( and even when she tells me every about them...i still don't remember.. Should i look a doctor? :(

Open Question: I think I may have ruined my chances with this girl...?

About a year ago I met this girl because she is a pal of my sister and went on vacation with us. Anyway, we started talking and hanging out after wards and began to really like each other. This was during Christmas break so we didn't have school. However, once we got back to school, she said that she wanted to take things slow. Well, I interpreted this as she was losing interest, so I kinda panicked and started saying things and pushing her to date me harder. I asked her to hang out a couple of weekends in a row, I think, but she always had an excuse. I think this may have been because I pushed her too difficult and caused her to not want to hang out. We ended up not talking anymore because stopped trying basically. I had the mindset that "Well, if she likes me then she'll text me when she's ready." Well, that never happened and it's been about 8 months. I have since graduated high school and she is now a junior in high school. I still have stronger feelings for this girl than I do anyone else right now. I've been thinking about trying to receive back in touch with her but I was wondering if I should even bother. I even did a bing search about this type of situation and found that just because she wanted to take it slow didn't mean she wasn't interested. I know I should take things slow, but I kinda have a difficult time just being friends with girls I am attracted to. It will be even harder now that we have already skated around a relationship once. I just wasn't used to dealing with a relationship (still ain't), so it was easy for me to think she wasn't interested. I'd gladly take it slow this time, but the fact is I'm after her as a girlfriend, not a pal. Like I said, I'm out of high school now and I really have no way of getting in touch with her other than facebook. Should I explain to her what happened and how I feel, or would that hurt the situation even more? Or should I just casually start talking to her as a pal, or just not bother at every? Any advice is much appreciated. Update:@ Sage: I also have her number.

Resolved Question: The French Government expelling the Roma people?

This is illegal. The Roma are EU citizens and have the right to live anywhere in Europe. There was no inquiry into the danger they pose to nearby residents, therefore the French government has no right to move them. They say they are living in unhygienic conditions - but their response to this - throwing them out - is wrong. What is their excuse for these close inexcusable actions? You are wrong, Charles. They have the right to take up residency anywhere in Europe. It isn't anything to do with sovereignty you racist prick. My possess uncle lives in Berlin.

Open Question: Can a father be held liable for child support if he does not want the child?

It's a bit of a long story but here goes, because I think it's important to have every the facts: A male pal of mine, going through a rough patch after the girl he was dating up and left him, started hanging out with a girl he wasn't real close to. She eventually became extremely clingy, always telling him how depressed she was and threatening to commit suicide on a daily basis, telling him she would if he didn't let her arrive over etc etc ... naturally he got sleepy of it, and began ignoring her. Just before it got to this stage, however, she crawled into his bed and started fooling around with him, he thought "why not?" and she told him she had had the contraception injection (sorry, don't know what it's called). This morning he got a call from her saying she's pregnant, and that "they gave me a bad batch of injection" or something. I for one don't buy that excuse, and we are both starting to think that she lies about being on contraception in the first place. He's still a dumbass for not getting a condom but that's beside the point now. She says she is planning to have the pregnancy terminated (please no discussion whether abortion is right or wrong) and has as far as we know made an appointment, but this girl is seriously unstable and we're concerned that she won't turn up to the appointment or will otherwise back out. The dad seriously does not want a child, he also suffers from mental illness and does not feel capable of being a parent in any way. So here's the real question: If she decides to keep the child, which is well within her right, can she then claim child support from the dad even though he has made it exceedingly clear he wants nothing to do with it? He just wants this girl out of his life, period, and has wanted that even before she claimed she was pregnant. I've looked at the Australian child support website but can't seem to find anything that answers this particular situation so any help is appreciated!

Open Question: Question for LGBT and Straight people?

I can't receive my head round how people think being gay is a choice. I mean, every the crap you have to go through.. Getting treated different in society, discriminated, (maybe) disowned by family members, possibly not receive a job because of you orientation, etc. There's even scientific research that proves it, chemicals in the brain telling you which sex/s to be attracted too. To me, if these people don't believe THAT scientific evidence, why trust science AT every? Don't believe that we breathe oxygen, or that white blood cells attack germs, etc. They're just picking and choosing which research to believe, and which research to not. I tried reasoning with my parents, because they're Jehovah's Witnesses, they believe it's a sin to be gay. I said, "We receive disabilities, deformities, health problems, mental illnesses, because of imperfection, maybe liking the opposite sex is an imperfection too? Being attracted to males, females, or both is caused by chemicals in the brain, maybe because of imperfection, these chemicals are the other way round in certain individuals". OF COURSE my mum wouldn't hear and said this research is made up to make people feel better about themselves. As I said before, if you're going to say that, why believe science at every. You could say, hypothetically, that people saying that we breathe in oxygen and trees breathe out oxygen, so we should cease chopping trees down, is just an excuse made by tree huggers. They say you're born straight, and pick to be gay or bi... I never sat down and wondered if I should be straight - something that everyone accepts, something that my parents don't hate... or gay - something that not many people accept, something that my parents are obviously against. It just hit me one day that I like girls (at the time I thought I was bi), then as time went on I realised I'm a lesbian. I HATED this, I WANTED to like men, but could I? - No. I couldn't force myself to receive turned on by a man's body. I don't know about straight people, but I don't pick how my body sexually responds. If it's just as easy as choosing to like the same sex, I'd adore for a straight man to try and be gay for 10 mins; And try and masturbate to gay porn. To try and receive turned on by a man's body. He wouldn't be able to do it, probably wouldn't receive an erection, just be disgusted. And lastly, when I'm older, I'd adore to make a family with the person I adore; For us to make kids together, but obviously we can't. Why would I pick not to be able to make kids? Why would I pick to be in adore with someone that can't receive me pregnant? It just doesn't make sense. I'd like to hear your thoughts and views on the subject, thank you. Too long, it literally takes TWO minutes to read.. Gods sake, I'm trying to help towards the LGBT movement, and what do I receive? Pointless answers atm.

Open Question: We can't move bc his mom can't afford rent...:(?

Since last week, my fiance and I have been speaking about moving out from his parents home. They pay close to a grand for a 2 bedroom this is not including electric, cable, and phone. Only one person has a job in her relationship. We spoke to people that knew me and they said we could have the apartment we wanted for a reasonable amount. He gets a check that covers the rent and I am supposed to cover utilities and net/cable. Nice Single Family Home with rooms for his kids when they arrive to visit. Here's where trouble comes in. Last night, his mom cried to my fiance that she can't make the rent. He called me saying we can't move out now bc his mom is his mom. ...now what should I do? How do I respond? I understand her and him, but what can i do? I even was okay with giving her 300 a month until October. Am I being fair? How do I approach this bc I adore his parents and I don't want them to hate me. I also want my possess place though. What should I do? I understand her, but why can't she move with her bf to a studio. The excuse is that they have been living there for 20+ yrs.

Open Question: This person annoys me.Should I keep on worrying or forget about it ?

Okay, let me put this clear: One year ago, I used to hang out with a lot of friends(including this guy)and, although I had heard disturbing opinions about him (that he's not a good person, a psycho, a gay person etc), I used to have a great time with him-as a pal of course-and we used to share a lot of things together. We got separated because of my exams. That's when he started to show me how psycho he really is. During my studies, he used to call me over 10 times per day, just to ask me how it goes and stuff (unfortunately, I had given him my phone number-back then when we used to receive along with each other). My parents used to hang up the phone,even telling him various things to him, in order to close down that obsession.During that, we used to arrive up with a lot of excuses. There was a period when he had stopped, but then started every over again.Of course he had never called more than one time per two weeks, but it is disturbing. Whenever I answer and realise it's him, I hang up. Then he calls untill he hears my possess voice again, but one of my parents answer. And if he hears one of my parents' voice, he hangs up and does not call again, at least not for three weeks or one month. One week ago, he did this again. I hanged up and that was every it was. Today he called again.I answered, he said:Hello, is it you?I hanged up. Then he called again, my dad answered, he hanged up. Please forget the : talk to him thing. We've heard he's a psycho, of course he is.He keeps on calling me for so much time, even if he knows that I don't wanna talk to him.If I really wanted, then he would have received a call back then. I'm thinking of changing the number and make it private. In my country, if the number's private, no one can finds it (except it's the police). My parents claimthere's nothing to worry about, as we can handle it. He has rarely stopped, and whenever he calls, I hang up and that's every. But-really- should I worry about it? If yes why ? If no why ? Please tell, I really need help. Thank you so so much :D

Open Question: Mayweather Apologizes For Racism?

A few days after making his controversial comments on a video streaming network, Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to Ustream tardy Friday night to clear the air with his fans and the boxing public. When Mayweather appeared on Ustream several days ago, some of his comments resulted in a mountain of negative press from the media and harsh comments from the boxing fans who watched the profane video. Some of the comments Mayweather made from several days ago, like "cook him up with some barbecued dog" and "cook that yellow chump" and "I'll make that mom f**ker make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice" and "this mom f**cker's name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets" - sent a tidalwave of negative air in Mayweather's direction. When Mayweather returned on the service tardy Friday night, he apologized to everyone for the comments. He made few excuses and said he "didn't really mean" any of it. "I do want to apologize for what happened the other night. I want to apologize to everybody because everybody thought that it was a racist comment that I said. I don't have a racist bone in my body. I have nothing but adore for everybody. Some of my guys are Muslim, some of my guys are Jews. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, whites, ...it doesn't matter. I got nothing but adore in my heart. every i want to say is, if anybody was affected from what I said the other day, I apologize as a man. I was just having fun. I didn't really mean it," Mayweather said. Prior to the apology, Mayweather discussed a possible battle with Pacquiao. He wants Pacquiao confident and ready to win, but also made it clear that a Pacquiao win won't happen. "Manny Pacquiao, he truly believes that he's one of the best, but I know that I am the best, that's the difference," Mayweather said. "I want him to believe that he's going to win. every 41 opponents that I faced thought that they were going to win, but that didn't happen." During the broadcast, Mayweather sent his condolences to his former promoter Bob Arum for the recent loss of his oldest son, John, who lost his life as a result of a hiking accident in Seattle, Washington. "God bless to Bob Arum and his whole family, because I heard that Bob Arum's son had a bad accident. adore to the whole Arum family," Mayweather said. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=30633

Open Question: How do I tell him to cool it down?

So heres the story: I go on vacation to New Jersey every summer as I have family there. When I got home to the UK I got a pal request on fb from this guy. I know who he is - he's from the church I go to there but I've never actually talked to him. He started chatting to me on fb and we were flirting and stuff and by the third time we chatted, he started calling me beautiful, gorgeous and that he's never met anyone like me he then said that he wanted to call me. I was kinda suprised, but I gave my no. anyway. So we talked and he told me to call him the next day, 3 days went by and I never did cause theres was a lot going on and when I fb chatted to him, he said it felt like those 3 days were forever. The thing is, I don't want to be too attached to this guy,I want to keep my options open and not move so quick because I fall very easily to someone who pays me attention, He's obviously overtly flirting with me and wants something more. I still want to maintain a friendship with him though just not as deep as its going right now. I fb chatted with him yesterday and he told me to call him the next day but I never did cause I realised i wanted to chilly it down a bit. ok so FINALLY my Q: So the next time we chat, what will be my excuse for not calling AND how do I let him know that I don't want us to call each other just fb chat - to chilly it down a bit and for him to not arrive on so strong??? thank you! :)

Open Question: horrible teacher - Should i drop biology A level?

I had my first day of college yesterday, and my first lesson of biology. even though it was my first lesson i already could tell the lesson was going to be a failure. we had an asian teacher and i couldnt even tell half the words she was saying, and also she was horrible. as soon as we walked into the class she started going mad saying if we ever dont do homework or are tardy to the lesson our ema would cease. she'd mark us in tardy (even if were tardy by a minute), and make sure it was stopped. she then went on shouting at us saying if we dont receive ema we have no excuse either, she'll make sure were not entered into any exams!!!!!!! not just biology every of them!!!!! baring in mind this was our first day and lots of people were nervous and as soon as we entered the lesson she did nothing but yell! the whole class were just sat there like what the hell! o.O. then she went if we dont finish the lesson we'd be staying behind for a long time to finish it, and most people need to receive the bus home, and theres only one bus which leaves when college finishes so we'd be stranded! the whole lesson was a distaster. she was so moody and cocky and arrogant and just plain horrible i had tears in my eyes because i was so dissapointed about the teacher id be given because i just knew i wasnt going to do as well as i could. her teaching methods were also awful. i couldnt tell what she was saying and basically i learnt nothing at every, all lesson. I got a A in gcse biology, but i didnt learn one thing in a 2 hour lesson! So im thinking of doing three things.. - asking to be moved to a different class with a different teacher (baring in mind, i'd have to say why i wanted to move and i cant exactly say the teachers horrible) - dropping it altogether and just doing three a levels (id only have three a levels rather than 4, but it would free a lot of time up, less homework so i can concentrate on my other subjects more) - dropping it and taking travel and tourism (thats a possibility of the career i want to go into, but its not deffiate. because its such a specific subject, if i ever changed my mind it would be useless for any other career. also ive got more work again each week) what do you think i should do? i just can NOT stay in that class. even if i dont do so well in the exam because of it and just scrape a pass which at least is another a level, its detrimenting my other subjects because sick be spending homework and revision time on biology when i know im not going to do well, when i could be spending that time on other subjects i will do well in. thanks

Open Question: Was I rude? I've got a trouble with a girl (she is my acquaintance, our nationality is totally different.)?

I've got a trouble with a girl (she is my acquaintance, our nationality is totally different.). I hadn't talked to her for few weeks because I was busy for study. I hadn't answered when she sent messages to me few times. and finally I replied... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- her : hey, are you trying to avaoid me or something??? me : excuse me, mademoiselle. I don't understand "are you trying to avaoid me or something???". Why did you write that? I am not always online. and I am busy for study, work and having fun. I have only time for my friends because I don't have enough time for other people and don't want to waste my precious time. what's new, btw? ttyl her : ok well done .... it was nice of rude writing that... me : why it was nice of rude writing that... ? about what ? if i was rude, sorry. maybe you misunderstood. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Was I rude? My friends said " you are rude... " some said "you are not rude, just you said directly. " If I was rude, how did I have to say? if you think I was rude, why do you think so?

Open Question: Dating: Can a female please explain this weird female behavior?

So there's this girl who I've never met personally but we always text and talk back in forth. In the beginning she seemed really anxious to meet me, she would make times but I missed them b/c something would arrive up, she talk extremely freaky to me and say what she was going to do when we meet, although she would only sometimes respond to my text..So we start to talk more and more over the phone, and I've noticed she doesn't talk to me with the sexy talk and she seems a bit more reluctant to meet me..The curveball she texts and calls me every THE TIME now. She says Im not like other guys, and she still wants to meet me, but seems to keep making excuses. I preferred it when she talked freaky to me, I now feel like I'm her therapist or something. Plus she keeps making excuses not to meet me but often text me or ask me to call her. Does she still like me? This seems to always happen to me, why can I just pick up girls like every other guy without turning into some sort of psychiatrist for them?

Open Question: How do I deal with a friend that is a compulsive liar?

I have this pal that I can tell lies a lot. There are just things she says that are completely untrue, and everyone knows it. A few examples: Last Christmas she said she would bring me my gift, then she forgot it so she said she would bring it later, and everyday there was a new excuse, like that her aunt was bringing it but she got in a car accident, and she had the gift in the morning, but didn't look me and thought I was absent so her mom came to receive it right before she saw me. Then, she just makes up unbelievable stories. Like that she was on a rollercoaster completely made of wood and the person in front of her lit it on flame, and they barely made it out in time. She also claimed that she was at the exact same hospital as Michael Jackson when he died, and she was able to look every of his family, and look his body. AND, she claims that she met the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. I'm not jelous of that, but when I said I was embarassed to admit my first concert was Hannah Montana, she said she went to the exact concert and she met them, etc. Just like everytime I say something, she like feels the need to show me up, and make up crazy stories that I know aren't true. It's annoying because I don't even know what the truth is anymore. I feel like breaking up our friendship, but if I avoid her I avoid every of our group of friends. I know these are lies, because I have caught her in a lie before, and several times she just lies again to cover it up. How do I deal with this? It's really annoying, and I'm sleepy of wasting my time having to hear to her lies.

Open Question: would this be a good POV switch?

I'm writing a story. It's about a girl, Charli (still kinda skeptical about the name) who has extreme selective mutism. I plan on writing in first person point of view through Leo (the other main character) as he tries to bring her out of her shell, because she has never physically spoken to anyone (not even her parents). Even though Leo is the narrator, Charli is the main character, because basically, the whole story is about her. And, as the main character, i want the readers to be a bit more personal with her, to understand her thoughts and feelings too, but i also don't wanna give away the big secrets or anything. I want her mind to be some what of a mystery to the readers, to make her that much more beguiling, if that makes sense. At a certain point in the story (about half way through, or so) Charli and Leo are talking (excuse my pun). Charli writes down a question for him, and he gives out a really long answer, and as soon as he finished, on instinct, Charli speaks something along the lines of "i feel so normal around you". After that, she realises what she did, gets scared, and runs away. I wanted to implement a POV switch from FP Leo to FP Charli. Do you guys think that would work? would it add to the impact of her speaking, or would that just make it seem stupid? should i try a different POV switch, or should i go with the every out third person omniscient?

Open Question: Need a mans opinion/advice please...why would my bf lie?

Ladies: If you must answer, no man bashing. I really just need to understand this. I'm snuggling with the bf watching a movie and his phone goes off... I swear I've never seen the guy move so quick. He opened the msg and immediately shuts his phone off. I saw that it was from a girl we know but he acted so odd about it that I asked who it was just to look if he'd explain it to me....nope. He told me it was a guy pal. So, is there any good reason at every for him to lie about it? It's been bothering me every morning. I don't know why he would lie in the first place or how to bring it up in a way that won't start an argument. I found out nearly a year ago that he was carrying on with a few girls on facebook and we nearly broke up because of it. Since then there have been a few more incidents regarding him lying about who he's been talking to. His excuse was that he was afraid to be honest with me about it because he thought I would be jealous of them after everything and he wanted to avoid confrontation. I explained that he needed to have more trust in me that I would be able to handle it without acting like a jealous teen. but here we are again. Any and every useful advice is welcome. I don't know what to do. I don't expect him to cease talking to other women just because he's with me, that's crazy, but lying about them is highly suspicious.

Open Question: What should I do in this situation?!?! D:?

Hey guys! So I am not going to be biased at every because I honestly want to know if I have any chance with this guy because I really like him! I asked this girl what grade he was in and she said she didn't know so she asked him and he told her his grade and he was like "you didn't know??" and she said told him that the reason she asked is because that I asked her. He looked at me and I walked away because I was embarrassed and then when we were leaving class he was talking to his pal and he kept glancing back at me. I was partners with this girl and she sits by him which gave me an excuse to move my seat by him.I coughed and he laughed/smiled (idk why?) I just kinda smiled and looked away. Me and my partner were talking and we started laughing and then he looked back at us and he held my gaze for a while. Yesterday when we were getting ready to leave class he was just standing there staring at me and I was staring at him back.It got awkward so I looked away and started talking to my pal. I feel this connection with him.He's not the best looker but he seems really nice and I just feel drawn in to him. I want to receive to know him.My guy pal is friends with him and he offered to tell him I like him.Is this a good idea? thank you every!

Open Question: I met this girl and we're both interested, but she lives an hour away in Orlando?

I live in Tampa, but I met this girl who lives in Orlando while I was at a show there. She gave me her number, and we've had a couple of good phone conversations and been exchanging text messages for about a week. I'm just trying to figure out where to go from here, should I just make excuses to go to Orlando and visit and hang out with her? I was also thinking because of the distance, should I flat out tell her I'm interested in dating and want to set up a real time to visit? Any ideas?

Open Question: Progressive Ins wants to collect claim on accident expenses; details.?

I'll TRY to keep it short. Got into an car accident about 7 months ago. Accident Story Summarized: Driving down highway after work in the morning (I work graveyard shifts) on the left lane on a 3 lane highway; driver B in a suv tailgates me as if he were rushing; I'm with my GF so I just keep my speed and not try anything stupid, driver B cuts to middle lane, speeds up, passes me, then cuts into my lane (left lane); We are now going downhill and reaching a intersection controlled with traffic lights. I have my distance from driver b to the standard sec rule. Road conditions where during a icy weather where snow covered floors were plowed and salted. The accident: Driver B reaches the intersection about 3 cars away whereas my car is behind him with a gap of 4 cars while driving close 45mph. At this instant the traffic light turns yellow and the driver slows down but passes the intersection line and then breaks immediately within a 1-2 second interval. My thoughts were that he would continue past the light and I would follow since I have enough time while slowing down past the yellow light. I slammed on the breaks and skidded/slid about 1 1/2 car distance and hit his rear left side. I was driving a sedan and he was in a SUV. His bumper caused him to bounce ahead and leave my car trashed. The police came and made an assumption of the accident saying, I was at fault. The cop wrote me a ticket for reckless driving and gave my GF a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. (She is ok) The officer stated that in his conversation with driver B; he said "I was never even behind them!". I went to court, and issued a summons against driver B for reckless driving. I went to court again and fought the ticket against me for reckless driving. The prosecutor offered me a deal saying he would drop the 4points that would have been issued if I just pay a $350 fine and drop the summons against driver B. I took the deal. (I really just didn't want any points and money wasn't an issue at that time.) And his excuse was that my case wouldn't hold in court since anyone who rear ends someone is automatically at fault <--- Wow? Mind you till this day, I never reported anything to my insurance company because I only have a cheap liability insurance. I have been recieving notices from Progressive (driver b's insurance company) asking me to pay his car damages. I hit his bumper and bounced off of it; and they want me to pay $1,000 for this. I ignored the first 2 letters from progressive and a few weeks ago they sent me anouther letter from their claims department threatening to take more action. I don't have the money to spend paying them. I live alone, I'm 19, I'm currently unemployed and receiving unemployment because after the accident I didn't have transportation to work and I got laid off. I receive no support from anyone except myself helping my friends with computer issues and making extra money to help pay my bills and I'm a full time student at a county college working on a computer major. What do you suggest I do? And What problems am I looking at If I keep ignoring their letters until I actually have enough money to pay them. (Eventually I will.. I just cant right now.) THANK YOU FOR READING MY LONG STORY LOL. Thank you for every answers !! I'm just going to try and work a payment plan then.

Open Question: Disagreement on parenting styles..?

I have two issues with my husband when it comes to 16 month old daughter. First, we both came from difficult childhoods (alcoholism, abuse, etc) his mom wasn't really there for him and my dad for me. So he has a mom figure and I a dad figure. We refer to his "mom" as grandma, but he doesn't want to refer to my "dad" as our daughters grandma and I don't think that is fair and we argue about it constantly. The other thing is, when our daughter was first born since we both came from alcoholic families we agree not to take our daughter around anyone who's been drinking I have held my end of the deal and as a result my sister has never met our daughter because she refuses to stay sober. He attempts to hold up his end but the minute his family starts pressuring him he caves and I don't back down so we end up in the huge argument. He uses the excuse of "someone who has drank every day every day for so long, can't stay sober." Well my sister is the same way, but I stuck to our agreement. Any advice? Compromise maybe? I just feel lost and I'm sleepy of arguing over the same stuff. Thanks

Open Question: The "clear my head" excuse. Should I believe him?

It's amazing how people can really engage us with smart words and a nice personality. Well, I've been down this road several times on this board with the same guy, but basically is about this man that finally decided that I was his match after a few odd situations and regular non drama dating. In a nutshell, after a few weeks of "couple" bliss he calls me and says that "he needs time to clear his head" I was not surprised, he has done this before, he asked for specificaly a week. He said exactly that he needed to pray and become a tibetan monk. At this point I'm like (huh?!) but then again I was not surprised at his request. When we starting dating he left for a few weeks and didn't call or text, I was ok with it, for Pete's sake we were only just dating, but when he came back I receive a call in which he says that he spent time with a girl and he did not feel what he felt with me and I believed him. Seems to me he can't balance life and work for whatever reason but weather I'm being too crazy or not I think this is just simply an excuse. What do you guys think? I'm asking to every the men and women here. I really want this to work but honestly I'm starting to feel stupid waiting for this guy to give me one of his usual "need to clear my head" excuses anytime he feels like. Where does that leaves me? What nice of bs is that? Thanks for every the input. glad Weekend!

Open Question: Whats happening to my friend? :/?

Heyyy (: I'm having abit of pal trouble if anyone could help that would be really appreciated (: I've recently gone back to school for sixth form, but i'm feeling that me and my best pal are drifting apart. My best pal is epileptic, but hasn't had a fit since a year ago. During the last week of summer, i think we started to irritate each other, i'm not sure whether that was because we were spending to much time together or not? Her boyfriend of two years is starting college this week, so we know she's going to be missing him. We went to Chester on the last week of summer, and she just spent the whole time talking to him and didn't talk to me much, it was only when she realised i hadn't spoke she started asking why i wasn't speaking. Then on our first day of sixth form she was on the phone to her boyfriend every day, and not walking with me and our other friends, and didn't talk much through the whole day. On our second day of sixth form, we had to receive into groups to organise an event for December, and everyone was saying I should work with this guy cause i couldn't manage that amount of work on my possess, but then my best pal was saying how he couldn't work with me cause it would be 'flirt,flirt,flirt' apparently, which isn't the case at every. So she said that he could work with her on her part of the project, and that she'd help him on his. I just don't know whats going on with her? Everytime I ask if she's going to arrive out with me and my friends she'll make up excuses, such as she's too sleepy, or she's a her dads, or she's sick or whatever, but this isn't one time she's done this, as it's turning into a regular occurance. She can never plan ahead, and I'm not sure if she's letting her epilepsy hold her back? I'm worried, as i do adore her and she's my best pal, I'm just at a loose end of what I can do? Thankyouu for your help (:

Open Question: it is weird but what should i do?

okay. this may seem a bit weird but i really need help. so it every started once when i went to the swimming pool once and i saw a odd animal there. they caught it but i got really scared. after that i was really scared to swim. but then i shifted from that home. a few weeks back i liked a page on facebook that said- ''when i am in a swimming pool, i think that there's a shark in the deep end of the pool'' and i know its stupid but now whenever i go swimming i feel that there's a shark in there so i just stand at one place in the pool and i don't swim. if i tell this to my family, they'll just think that its an excuse for not swimming. and i know many of you would think that i am weird but i really need help. please tell me what to do to receive rid of this feeling. i know that there isn't a shark in the pool but still i cannot receive rid of the fear.
