I don't see anything particularly wrong with people hiring someone to come in and clean their place. Some people really do lead busy lifestyles and all so having someone do that, because they make the money to pay them anyway, reduces their stress and lets those people do some other things. I've never had the luxury (because that's what it is) of having someone do that and never cared to do it myself since I've never been in such a position to merit bothering with it, but it's cool if some people do. I'd just of course hope that the house cleaner is getting what the person is worth and can support him/herself.
Sure thing. ~
Record pain.
You have me there... Oh wait. xD
Snake Eyes is going to go to sleep. xD. How's it going?
*Luke scream* "NoOOOOooOOooo!"
Cheater. xD
Winter is always my emo time. It's cold and crappy out and I have to shovel the driveway. Everything is dead out, the sky is gray and dull, and it's so boring unless you are into winter sports, which I am to a small extent but I can't go snowboarding all the time. Also the shortened days and long nights and you can't go out really much at night because it's so cold.. that's why there are so many holidays in winter.. because it's emo time. I like autumn for the changing leaves, the colors, the apple pies and going to the farms and such for honey and maple syrup and apples etc. Also we have motorcycle runs in fall that are fun. >.> And the state fair. Also, Halloween rules! So yeah, I've never thought of Autumn as emo time. It's more like it's preparation for emo time. xD
Good song.
Dude, I was asked that too! I have to go on the 8th to the court to see if I get chosen or not. Good fun. I ponder going all gothed up maybe and just looking evil.
Ah, I did not know that it made women sick for long and such. Thank you for telling me. I do feel though it is probably still the best way of dealing with it and cheapest. Now that I know the side effects though, it does still make it quite the choice. I think it depends on the Christian groups as there are some that are very against spermicides and some that are against any form of birth control at all. Those groups, of course, teach abstinence as the best policy until marriage. Some Christians are pretty open and don't care really so I'd imagine the day after pill isn't so bad to them.
This has been suggested and the best we could do has been done. You can edit a thread title for up to 5 minutes after you posted it. After this time, you will not be able to. To do so, go outside of the thread, double-click on the thread title and change it. There is nothing else that can be done. Closing this as that's pretty much the answer.
I can say that though I would not want to see a baby of mine aborted, and I'd want to do the responsible thing and be there etc.. I feel the right is left to the woman having a baby. I don't think it's right that people can say 'you should not get an abortion if you were not raped' or something because I'm not able to know the pains of what it would feel like to get pregnant and not have the love and support to help raise a kid. There are a lot of factors that go into pregnancy and raising children. If a girl doesn't have the necessary means to do it, I think that's her own personal decision to make. If a girl wants to try and do her best with it, then by all means she should have the chance to do so. If she wants to give the kid up for adoption, that should be her right too, and lastly I feel if she just does not feel capable of raising the child and doesn't want to give it up for adoption for whatever reason, she should have the right to abort. I do put a cap limit of time duration though on it. I think if a girl has carried a baby through the first trimester, and is like in the 3rd trimester, where technically a baby 'could' survive outside the womb, I do not believe she should be able to abort a child then unless there are medical reasons. The reasoning behind that is that by that time, a person should have long made up their minds on what they wanted to do and the baby is more developed. The reasoning of hardship etc, isn't one that can be really used at 6 months pregnant, to me. In the end, the solution to abortion in most cases would be the 'day after pill' which would pretty much help a lot of people and not mess up a woman's system either because it is done so early and to me is really not so much different than using a spermicide. However, some women do not realize they are pregnant till a few weeks after, so for these women, abortion may still need to be an option. I do think the day after pill being more marketed would probably though reduce the need for abortions dramatically. Some people like to insist others should put up kids for adoption. I think it's a fine idea to do, but if the woman doesn't want to, I can see why. There are -many- kids that -never- get adopted out there. So all those couples that say they'd adopt kids... they aren't. Many are just talk due to their stance but do nothing because the child they want has to look a certain way etc, or they have no desire to really put their money where their mouth is. If we had a shortage of kids needing to be adopted, maybe I'd rally more to this option, but it just is not true and many people are unaware of how these kids even live. It isn't easy, or fun, to live in orphanages and then bounce around some families that get paid to have the kid stay there etc. Many of these kids that aren't adopted turn out pretty rough and unhappy. So, in the end, I think the choice is best left up to the woman and those who say things like 'adoption is evil' etc, that's fine to believe if it comes to yourself. It doesn't seem fair to feel that way about what someone else does. Abortion is a serious choice and I do not think many women make it so easily as some people accuse because they are so against the concept. The women I know who have feel it was one of the toughest choices of their lives. I don't feel it fair to judge them.
Some ideas.. your sister, when she's sarcastic, maybe try laughing a bit at her comments because they are jokes. When she's mean to you or yelling, try to just move away from her and do something else. Maybe try making some friends and such so you can do things away from her. She may be in her way telling you she needs her space. She's being rather selfish and inconsiderate and maybe some time that's what you need to say to her and just move off and get out of her hair for a while. If you can try to stay calm around her and act like this stuff doesn't bug you, you'll do better than if you react emotionally to her crappy attitude. She may be partially annoyed she has to be around you so much because she considers you over-emotional or the tag-a-long and she can't do much herself. You never know really for sure what the other person's problems are with you until you ask. Maybe that's another thing to consider is to just ask her how to fix things with her and that what is her problem with you so you can work on things because this is hard on you. If she's on the computer, maybe try getting the phone then for a bit to talk to your dad. If your mom is tired and all that, she probably doesn't want to come home and hear sibling rivalry situations so this may be just something you have to deal with between you and your sister and learn to find some ways to get out of her way until she sees things differently. Maybe sometime when your mom is calm and your sister isn't around you could approach her calmly with the situation and not just go 'my sister does blah blah' etc. Mind your approach and ask her what you might be doing wrong that sets your sister off and is there anything she can think of to try to help patch things up between you. Parents will listen to more if it does not just sound like whining, when of course, they are in the right mood for it. I wish you luck and can tell you are pretty stressed out. Hope things get better for you and hang in there. Siblings just do these kinds of things to each other sometimes and don't really appreciate each other until they grow up or something bad or great happens that brings them together. Siblings notice the good and the bad of each other. They sometimes are competitive too. They've also always got the know how on your successes and your failures and those annoying habits we all have. Living in close proximity of each other, it's kind of normal to rub each other the wrong way. Try to not let it get you too down and hopefully something will turn out better for you.
You won't see the worst of the criminals in this tour. They will probably show you how they process in people, have you perhaps talk to some of the people on lighter charges etc and the wardens and guards who work there. Murderers and rapists etc aren't going to be confronted really. They would not want the students to see people that could be crazy or well are the worst criminal elements. I'd imagine this more or less gives you a view on how prisons themselves work, what they look like etc, which I don't consider it that bad of a thing to know.
Damn, that was quick. Okay locking now.
There are sad faces as have been shown. There's no need to add anything. Thanks for the suggestion, but this time, just going to go ahead and say no since there's no need.
The comics industries have been hurting for a while. Warner Brothers bought out DC some time ago and so Marvel being sold to Disney is not a surprise. I do think people are kind of overreacting to the situation but I don't mind the joking really as some are funny to imagine up. xD As comics are moving to digital etc, and comic books themselves cost more to make etc, the books themselves have been going down in value that has hurt both DC and Marvel. Marvel kept a float with lucrative movie deals and all of those movie deals won't be touched by Marvel that are in place still. In the end, the comic industries have had to make changes due to pirating, comics being less of value and more expensive and such as we change to a more digital world. I think that it might have not been a bad move for Marvel to do as it may offer up more variations in comics etc. I don't really believe Disney owning Marvel is going to mean we'll see Mickey vs Wolverine or something like that. Disney owns quite a few businesses in entertainment in which people do their own things with and manage as per usual mostly. I don't really say I'm crazy about the merger since I'd rather have businesses be free and all to their own things and not be made more corporate owned than they are individually but at the same time, I don't think this is going to result too badly. I hope anyway.
It's going fine, thanks :) How is yours?
It's more entertaining this way.
