Holiday Deals Questions and Answers



Open Question: Do you think Christmas is overrated? what is your favorite holiday?

as a kid it was the best thing BUT now since i'm an adult it's like it's not a bid deal anymore... my favorite holiday by far is NEW YEARS!!!!I hear people are more depressed and there are more suicides at Christmas ...not sure if that's true though......well I don't really do anything family orientated during christmas so that probably plays a factor BUT it's not better than new years more

Open Question: What can I do with canned green beans?

I know.......gross.......right? I don't know how these cans of green beans proliferated in my cabinet but I have like 6 cans. I only have one recipe which is that classic holiday green bean casserole. That is the only actually tasty recipe I've ever used to include canned green beans. Do you have any recipes that actually make them taste appealing? I'm looking for something other than the classic green beans with mushroom soup covered with french onions deal. Maybe I'll check the Kraft website, their recipes usually turn out good. What would you suggest? I don't want recipes that you haven't tried - please. Only ones that you KNOW are good! more

Open Question: Should it bother me that my wife doesn't want me around her family?

My wife and I are separated and are working on getting back together. She and the kids went to a 4th of July party with her famliy and didn't invite me, knowing that I had no plans for the 4th. She said she didn't invite me because she's not ready to deal with what she will have to go through with bringing me around her family. When we were together she did some horrible things to me and basically played the victim, so her family thinks I was this horrible person. My wife has had me arrested, filed a restraining order against me which was denied, and told her family that I kidnapped our child. I know she is not ready to tell her family about the lies she told and the things she did to me, because of how they will view her. As far as I'm concerned, what she has to go through with her family is her business. I would rather be together and get the silent treatment from her family than be separated on holidays, but I don't like the idea of our family being separated on holidays because she doesn't want to fess up to lies she told years ago. more

Open Question: What dress should I dress my daughter in?

Okay, so here is the scoop. My 3 month old daughter has this cute little pink sun dress that I have been dying to dress her in but it has been too big. I was hoping that it would fit her by today (4th of July) so that she can wear it to a family BBQ. Well, I tried it on her and it does fit, slightly big but nothing major...it looks cute! However, a couple of days ago I went shopping for some new summer clothes for her and I didn't realize until just now that one of the sundresses I bought for her is red, white and blue! It's too perfect for the holiday but at the same time I've been dying for her to wear the pink one! I realize this is not THAT big of a deal, so rude comments are unnecessary...I'm just curious what other Moms would do if they were me:) Here is a pic of the pink dress... http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x230/CesarNess/0704090843a.jpg and this is the red, white and blue one I just bought... http://www.target.com/Newborn-Girls-Circo-Flower-Dress/dp/B001RLH4DM/qid=1246722808/ref=br_1_2/175-4533500-8476644?ie=UTF8&node=16014961&search-alias=&frombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=16014961&rank=salesrank&rh=&page=2 Thanks Mommies!My daughter doesn't spit up much...I always bring extra clothes for her and I have never once had to change her...the extra clothes seem to be to take up space in the diaper bag lol. But I think you ladies are right, the red, white and blue is so fitting and patriotic and I'm sure she will wear the other dress too, even if not for a holiday:) more

Open Question: Weekend get away to paris travel advice?

Hey, im planning alittle weekend get away to paris for me and my partner but im having trouble finding a good deal, Ive always been told you can get cheap holidays to paris but looking at all the holiday makers quotes £400+...theirs alot of other countrys i can go to for cheaper. but i do have my heart set on paris, does anyone know any cheap hotels etc etc in paris?

Open Question: What's the best way to tell someone that you love them, and want to be with them?

What's the best way? The boy that I want to tell, is extremely close to me, and we always tell eachover we love eachover anyway, so I can't just say "I love you", because he would just say it back, and not know that I want to be with him too. We went out for about a year, and broke up because he was dealing with a loss in his family. He is now extremely busy with work. And that was one of the problems before in our relationship, he never used to have enough time. He is taking over his family buisness right now, and then is going straight off on holiday, and then he is going to a college which is far from mine, and he lives about an hour nd a half away. How can I tell him that I want to be with him, and that I really do love him, and that I don't mind if he doesn't have thatt much time! How can I tell him that I don't mind that he is busy? Because he won't beleive me, cos i used to always get angry when he was busy. and do u get more feeling out of someone when u say it to their face? or on msn? or email? or text? he is very busy so im not sure he can come to see me, and i dont reallyyy want to do it by text nd email, or msn cos he wont see the emotions, and stuff. would it be more real and emotive, if i said it to his face? if i did do it by email, what words could i use? xxx thnksand i have to tell him before he goes away! what if something happened to him...then he would never know how i felt! and i have to tell him, whats the point of holding it back? cos then i would never know what could have been, might as well try, if he doesnt feel the same if will be hard, but he will be away, and chances are i wont see him unless we both want to, so i will be spared any embarassment more

Open Question: What makes a friendship stop clicking?

I have a male friend (knew him in person) with whom I used to talk daily from 2007 to late 2008. We are still friends, but he has chosen to mostly cease communicating (usually sending each other just holiday greetings and the only thing he talks about his his cats, whereas he used to reveal everything about his personal life -- and I do mean everything, right down to crying on my shoulder). This has been since late 2008. I miss the former close friendship we had, but he insists nothing is wrong with him and that I did nothing wrong. I don't understand why he got so cold? (I'm thinking he has a girlfriend and, being a man, thinks that backing off a friendship is no big deal.)cryingdr ... I have already tried that a couple of times ... exactly what you said ... BUT he closes up even more when I do that ... so that is not working. more

Resolved Question: how can i deal with extremely religious parents?

my mom and step dad have been studying Judaism and Hebrew for 8 or so months now, and every time they have friends over they expect me to participate in their 'religious activities' such as friday is a day to do a certain 'activity'. I'm not jewish!! and i don't want to be! They at least let me stay home instead of going to Jewish church on Saturday, and i'm thankful for that. But i don't want to take participation in anymore holidays and 'activities'. I'm sorry if i offended anyone, i'm just asking as to how to deal with a religion i just don't want to take part of. thanks for any answers. more

Open Question: i need some advice for my daughter ?

we live in a very small town where we are all outsiders in wales its a very tight nit place, and she has always felt that she doesn't fit in. She had to deal with acne and alot of 'crap' throughout primary, she begged to go to a different high school, but i told her we all have these problems and she should stick it out. summer holidays have just began, and she has just finished her mocks. The mean and bullying comments are starting to take over her life and its a struggle for them not to get to her, she also has a fe 'crap' teachers that are very young and inexperienced teaching core subjects e.g science, shes a very bright girl and the new teachers have effected her grades. i phoned in to talk to the head teacher she was very help full and nice and said she'd talk to the teachers and keep a eye out for my daughter, we later found out She was full of bullshit.. and things got alot worse for my daughter. She has just finished year 10 and her acne and is clearing up and shes got her confidence back. Shes begging for me to let her change to this other school that is a hour away on the buss (but as we live in rural mountains its not that far) it old her to stick it out and shes nearly made it out, This makes her extremely depressed around the house and shes takes out her anger on her father sister and myself. She wants to start afresh where she wont have reminders and all the drama and better teachers where she can get her grades up. she doesn't want to stay on in this schools 6th form as apparently its going bankrupt and its well known for not offering many courses.. The school she wants to change to is in the same County and they take the same GCSES course/work would they let her in so she could take her tests and come back for 6th form at this school? or is it impossible to change at the end of ear 10 would should i do? first steps? thanks so muchsorry, i got into the rant and boom.. paragraphs are long forgotten more

Open Question: İ told a close friend that her child's high pitched whining voice was stressful and she reacted badly-bad idea?

I holiday with them occasionally and do not speak the family's language and the combination of his whining tone and the language barrier is very stressful to me. I am a childcare worker and almost like a sister to this friend and was trying to help her to say no to her child while on a weeks holiday with the family. He is also not refused anything by his mother and whines then squeals until he gets what he wants. İ suggested to her that this was not age appropriate for a 4 and a half year old and she try saying no occasionally. İ explained that saying no was much harder than saying yes. But she reacted very defensively and said that he was not whining - that it was his normal voice. İt is not his normal voice - he simply whines constantly to get her attention so she has become very used to the sound. İ think our friendship has now ended because of this conversation. She did the lioness motherly thing and has cut me off. How should İ have dealt with this? more

Open Question: Someone please let me know if i'm blowing this out of proportion...?

My boyfriend "assumed" i made plans to go out of town to visit a friends simply because I told him she asked if i wanted to come visit. He called me later that day and asked when i was leaving and i told him i wasn't i never said i was going he then informs me that he thought i was so he made plans to go out of town as well with some guy he's been hanging out with. He wouldn't ever tell me if they were going for sure, it was I don't know yet we just talked about it. Then he never called me answered his phone yesterday when i was trying to find out what the deal was. I kept telling him to let me know if/when he was going so i could figure out what i was going to do because i do not want to sit home alone on the holiday. NEVER tells me anything it takes him 3 hrs to return my text still with no answer. Finally he texts me and is like oh i left my house earlier we are on the way. WTF???? He never called me when he made it, of course he sent me texts wanting to know what I was doing. He has yet to call me i have no idea where he is staying, who he is with etc. I AM LIVID!!!!! So now i am going out of town to hang out with my friends but i am so pissed i can't see straight. Am i wrong or is he because i don't feel i did anything wrong by being upset? I get he wants a boys weekend but he went about it the wrong way in my eyes.Thanks guys, i'll suck it up and go on with my weekend! Have a great 4th! more

Resolved Question: Should I get a prepaid credit card for my teenager's trip to China?

He's going on trip w/23 classmates. The school has advised that they do not want to deal w/cash (however, he will have $50.00 on hand). Debit is preferred to credit, however, there are fee's w/every transaction! On the other hand, credit isn't accepted everywhere they will be going. They also don't want them taking traveler's checks. Furthermore, my bank said I could not get him a debit card if his name isn't on my account. Sooo, am I limited to one of those prepaid credit cards you get at the grocery store, and are they good worldwide? Help, it's a holiday weekend, time is running out! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks more

Open Question: Screw "your sister is your best friend"?

Ok as you can tell by the title, I cannot stand my sister. There are many reasons as to why I don't like her so before you say that I need to get over this you need to realize that I have been trying to for over five years. So, the reason I hate (yes i no hate is a strong word) my sister is because shes a bitch to me and my other sisters until my parents are around. When my parents are around she uses a baby voice and opens her arms and says "mommy!!! daddy!!!" and then compliments them till they have to go do something. not only that but she says hi every time i c her and when i say every time i mean EVERY time!! i.e. i get up "hi!!" in that baby voice. i mumble hi back and then walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth. i come out "hi" in the same baby voice. i mumble hi back and go to the kitchen. somehow shes there "hi sissy" (she nos i hate nicknames i have told her many times) i mumble hi back. i go see my parents she is there and says "hi" AGAIN and i either dont answer cause im so pissed off at how annoying she is or i mumble hi back and i get in trouble for being 'rude'. and the reason i mumble instead of saying hi back is becuase she has been doing that for FIVE YEARS!!!!! i cannot stand it!!! plus, i left after getting mad at her for saying hi again and then later my other sister tells me that she asks my mom "i dont no why she wont say hi to me" in a "im so innocent" voice. another reason im so mad at her is because she stares. she will stare at me for more than a few minutes and im the type of person who just ignores staring or i just walk away or i just give the person who is staring at me the "what the heck are you staring at me for" look and when i give it to here she says in the baby voice "hi sissy". now there are many other moments like the ones above but when my parents arnt home she acts like shes the queen of everyone and everything. when we talk back she acts all offended and tells mom and dad and i get in trouble. ok so the reason i absolutely hate her is when i was 14 i almost died from internal bleeding and had to go to the hospital. a few weeks after i came home (i was there for a week) shes acting all mad at me and i confront her about it and she says. your my problem. because of you my relationship with God is ruined. and i hate you and i never want to speak to you agian. now let me remind u when she said that i had just got out of the hospital form practically dying a few weeks before, i was 14 and shes my OLDER sister. now my mom wants me to fix the relationship that im ruining even though i told her what went down because she said that when she was younger my mom and my aunt had a bad relationship and she doesnt want us kids to go through that so she makes us spend time together which made it even worse then my mom says "your sister is your best friend" and ends the conversation. i really dont want anythign to do with my sister ever again i am in college so i have to deal with her for the rest of the summer, breaks, and other holidays. please help me i really need it thanks. more

Resolved Question: Dont READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

*Jay Lethal defeated Johnny Gordado during Lethal's entrance, he handed his headband & robe to SoCal Val, but threw it in her face, she threw them down, turned her back and walked away..leaving them at ringside. *The Main Event Mafia comes out to the ring. Kurt says he knows Sting is home licking his wounds, but it wasn't personal it was all business. He calls out Mick Foley who comes to the ring with his security team. Kurt immediately cuts off Foley who tries to speak and says he's crossed the line. He says he went over his head and lied to the Godfather. Rocco & Sally Boy stand in front of Foley, he says do your best. Steiner & Joe attack them & take them out. Foley says to just let him wrestle at Victory Road. Lets make a deal...Kurt says, door #1 he kicks his ass, door 2 its Booker 2. Nash is 3 and behind the curtain he unleashes Samoa Joe. He says he picks #1 and immediately hits Angle..the Mafia beat him down until Jeff Jarrett makes his way to the ring with his guitar. The Mafia runs off and heads away from ringside, Foley gets to his feet and Jarrett nails him with his guitar. The Mafia begin smiling as Jeff goes up the ramp through them, Angle slaps his chest..and Jarrett looks back at him with disgust before heading back down the babyface tunnel. The Mafia look confused and try to look for Jarrett. *TNA Tag Team Champions, Beer Money come out to join West & Tenay for the following match. Scott Steiner & Booker T def Team 3D. Halfway through the match, Kiyoshi & Bashir come out & attack Beer Money at the commentary table. It looked like 3D was about to get the win. Rob Terry & Doug Williams attacked Devon at ringside, Brother Ray was left alone in the ring.. Brutus Magnus attacked him with the briefcase allowing Booker T to get the pin. Post match, Steiner attacked a fan at ringside and pulled him over the guardrail. *Eric Young defeated Rhino w/Jesse Neal using his feet on the ropes. *Sting comes out to the ring with the TNA title. He says he knows Kurt is watching and he has his belt..you want it, come get it. But in the meantime, he wants to talk to Joe, who comes out to the top of the ramp and makes his way to the ring. Sting tells him that he is the reason why wrestling and this company are as bad as they are right now. He's not willing to work for anything and expect things handed to him. He said he can fight this fight alone. Joe said, fortunately for Sting, he's been told to keep his temper. Sting asks who is in his ear, who's telling him, who is pulling his strings. Joe says he's going to say it one last time and you'll find out at Victory Road. Sting says he's going to find him tonight..pull him from the shadows bring him to the ring..tear him apart and feed him to the fans. *Ladder Match for the X-Division Title Shot Briefcase. Doug Williams vs. the returning Homicide of LAX Homicide wins back his X-Division case, right as he was grabbing the case, Williams attempted to get back into the ring but Team 3D prevented that. Terry, Magnus, Kiyoshi & Bashir joined Williams and they continously beat down Team 3D until Foley's new security team made their way out and helped 3D to the back. *Mick Foley comes out to the ring he says life can be funny sometimes and some times you need to make difficult decisions. He says that TNA shouldn't have two decision makers and suggests that tonight one should step down from decision making capacity. Jeff Jarrett comes out to the ring and says he needs to ask Mick a question..if he thinks before anything he says. He says they are cut from the same mold, its the nature of the beast. He says in Foley's quest to regain his TNA title, he put TNA in serious danger and no matter what happens after Victory Road he will always be a true legend in this business. He tells Mick he needs to start thinking why he came to TNA, the young athletes and their families and the future of TNA, but they have to do it together. Foley appreciates what Jarrett is saying...and that in hindsight, they are even steven...but he does say he needs to prove something to himself and that winning the TNA title was no fluke and that's to take it back from Kurt Angle and that's he's going to do it for the right reasons and for all the fans and wrestlers of TNA. He says Angle needs a warm-up match and tonight Angle should take on Jeff Jarrett..non title of course. Jeff likes the idea, but is "gonna tweak it" a bit..and make it a 3 way dance...himself vs Angle vs Mick Foley. Foley says he sees his tweak and raises one, so no one says they are in cahoots, they're gonna let Kurt Angle choose his own special referee. Jarrett says that it cannot be a member of the MEM or Matt Morgan. *"The Outlaw" Jethro Holiday defeated Jesse Neal w/Rhino *Booker T & Scott Steiner come out to join West & Tenay on commentary. Non Title Match. *Beer Money defeated MotorCity Machineguns when Roode pinned Shelley following a DWI. Beer Money jawjacked with Steiner & Booker from the ring and t more

Open Question: Can a cheater complain when he gets cheated on?

When a man, who has walked out on his first wife and two young daughters for another woman - also married - gets 'done the dirty' on - does he have any right to complain? You see - this man is my partner, he did the above. Then the second relationship broke down because she cheated on him - and he couldn't stand it. I was with my partner for two years - and he treated me very very badly. He would shout at me, tell me what to do, make me lie down in the car incase people saw me at the risk of offending people, who cancelled an abroad holiday we had booked 2 days before we were due to go, he went abroad not even mentioning it to me! He never let me know he cared about me, we didn't live together, it had got to the stage where we only spoke every few days and he would tell me to "find somebody else to look after you" Now, I must add, we did have short breaks together and I loved them, I loved him, we had great fun together when I saw him, and a general laugh. It was unconditional. Sometimes. Which wasn;t enough for me. So - I did. I started seeing another man just casually and decided I wanted to give the relationship a shot. So - I told my partner I was seeing somebody else and wanted to call it a draw with him. He was devestated - crying, wailing, he loved me, breaking his heart - all genuinly I might add. Now, after that pain has subsided, he tells me he was a committed partner, I just didn't have the patience to wait for him and do the relationship thing properley on his timescale! He tells me I am a slut, a slag, a nasty piece of work etc etc, he has shoved me around, involved police - the lot. He's been aggressive. He says although he never had a lot of time for me and I got a 'sh*t deal' from him - his door was never locked to me and I knew he was a wonderful partner at heart, All I want to do is bloody scream!!!! Now people - from what you have heard - baring in mind he can be a wonderful and loving, affectionate, generous, kind and funny man (he;s definately not all bad - he is great) wwho sees who's point of view most? Grrrr!!! more

Open Question: Mum's on holiday, being left without food - advice please?

She's in Portugal, so she's paying someone to look after us, called Helen. She left £40 for Helen, and a list of things that Helen needed to buy for our lunch. Helen hasn't bought lunch for me or my brothers any day this week - and it's thursday today, it's the 4th day all of us have gone without lunch at school. Every time I speak to her about it, she says she "forgot". Helen is supposed to come over at 6pm to make dinner for us, but she doesn't come over until 8.30 every night. I called mum and told her what's happening, but one of my brothers told her it "wasn't that bad" so that she wouldn't worry - so now she doesn't believe me. My brothers are only 13 and 15, I'm worried about them being left without ANY food until 8.30 at night. would like some advice as to the best way to deal with this. Thanks.oh, and she has spent £20 out of the £40 on food for herself which I keep finding in the fridge (like half of a leftover chicken sandwich from the shop.) If she can buy food for herself, why can't she buy it for us?!Yes, I am 17 and I can cook a meal (and have cooked a meal in the evening a few times this week) but Helen has the money and I can't get it off her! So I have no money to buy the food with. Not to mention that I can't drive so it's difficult to get to the shops. more

My mother died when i was born, (i am now 15 and i have a 26 year old brother) after she died my father spent all his time working, my brother was already at boarding school, so i was brought up by nannies until i went to boarding school when i was 7. During the holidays, i normally stay with my brother as my father is never around, he is always traveling visiting his various companies and closing deals here there and everywhere. It is nearly the summer holidays and i don't really have a place to stay, i love my brother, but he is really strict, he always lectures me or slaps me on the back of the legs if i am rude to him.

Open Question: 2009 NBA Free Agents: Stay or Leave?

Will these players stay or will they leave. If you think they'll leave where do you think they'll end up. -Hedo Turkoglu: Leaves going to either Portland, Detroit, or Toronto. His name is surrounded around Toronto. -Andre Miller: Leaves. Maybe to Portland. He want's alot of money. May not get it wherever he goes. Sixers drafted Jrue Holiday and have Lou Williams. -Jason Kidd: Stays in Dallas. Especially with the money Cuban just offered him. (ESPN: Kidd had a meeting with NY. Cuban flew to NY to meet with Kidd before he could meet with NY and offered him about 3yrs, $9million per year.) -Shawn Marion: Leaves unless Turkoglu signs with Toronto. He needs to be in an up tempo system like he was with Phoenix to be successful. Not worth alot of money anymore, could end up in NY on a mid-level contract ($5.6mil). -Ben Gordon: Stays in Chicago or could end up in Detroit. Detroit has shown alot of interest in him. One of the two will happen. Detroit has $18-$20mil to spend in free agency. -Lamar Odom/Trevor Ariza: Both will stay. Lakers will find a way for both to stay if they want to repeat as champions. -Allen Iverson: Definately leaving. Not many options for him. Word is, GMs aren't really interested in him anymore. Possible destination, Charlotte. They could use his scoring. Bobcats were one of the worst scoring teams in the NBA. -Paul Milsap: Leaves. Is a restricted FA. Okur and Boozer didn't opt out and he wants more money. Utah will have to match if another team over pays him. Could end up in Detroit, OKC, Memphis, Cleveland. -Ron Artest: Stays. Yao Ming's done. -David Lee/Nate Robinson: Both could stay. NY doesn't want to pay them alot because of the 2010 Free Agent Market. They'll get less money if they stay. Robinson stays or ends up in Memphis or Minnesota since Rubio is having kiddy temper tantrums about a Low Market drafting him. Lee will end up in Memphis or Oklahoma City. Lee was offered 4yr/$32mil, he wanted 5yr/$50mil. -Chris Anderson: Stays in Denver. Could end up back in New Orleans. -Rasheed Wallace: Definately leaves. Pistons are rebuilding, they traded Billups. Will end up on a veteran team like San Antonio, Boston Orlando, Dallas, Cleveland. All could be interested. -Mike Bibby: Leaves. Asking for a six-year deal at a big price tag which the Hawks won't give him unless he settles for the mid-level contract. Crawford will start at the point if he leaves. -Anderson Varejao: Stays. Comes off the bench while Cleveland signs a versatile big man so Shaq can own the paint. Will play better on the court w/ Big Z who can stretch out the "D". -Marcin Gortat: May Leave. Houston is interested since Yao's non-healing injury. Will end up in Houston or OKC. Won't demand alot of money. -Charlie Villanueva: Definately leaves. Will end up in Cleveland or Detroit. more

Resolved Question: ANY advice welcome....stepmom problem?

here's the deal. i'm 24. i don't live with my parents anymore (haven't for over 5 years.) i have always had a close relationship with my dad (he was a single parent and raised me from the time i was 5 years old). once my step mom came into the picture, everything was great. one big happy family. she has a son and a daughter of her own (not from my dad). over the last few years, she has given my dad so much grief over him helping me out if i needed gas money or whatever. it got to the point that when i would visit for holidays, i didnt even feel welcome at their house. she constantly compares the way my dad treats me to the way he treats her children. (i was married at 21 and my step sister just got married and he paid for both...mine was a courthouse wedding and her's was a huge ceremony and reception and my dad paid for everything without saying a word.) i miss being so close to my dad but i dont even call hardly anymore because i know if i do, she will start causing problems and i dont want to do that. when i do call, i have to call his cell phone so i know i will get to talk to him. her sister (my step aunt) told me she feels neglected by my dad because of how he treats me. (BTW i am his only child and the only blood family he has in this country). i have never acted out towards her or done anything to make her feel unwelcome. is there anything i can do to maybe get her to calm down about everything?i am completely independent from them and have been for about 4 years now. i have done everything i can possibly think of as to making some kind of amends with her...we have gone out to lunch, gone to several day spas, etc. i just dont know what else to do to get through to her that im not trying to take all the attention from her kids. my step sister just got married last week and i am glad that my dad took care of everything because she deserves it. even so, her mom still had things to bicker about. (petty differences). it seems childish to me and i dont understand it. it hurts that i have all but lost alot of the relationship i had with my dad more

Voting Question: All Inclusive Honeymoon- Dominican Republic or Jamaica?

Hello, we want to go somewhere decent for our honeymoon. We haven't had the opportunity to travel much but I was looking at All Inclusives in Jamaica and the DR. Out of the two, which one would you recommend? Also for the resorts, we are looking at the following: into Punta Cana (Gran Bahia Principe Ambar Don Pablo Collection (Adults Only), NH Real Arena, or Grand Oasis Punta Cana) or Puerto Plata (Sun Village Resort and Spa)… We looked at some places in Jamaica such as the Gran Bahia Principe (Runaway Bay, Jamaica), Holiday Inn Sunspree Montego Bay (although this seems more like a family resort), or Riu Ochos Rios (Montego Bay, Jamaica). Any honest feedback would be appreciated. PS if you know where we can find a killer deal for an all inclusive for our honeymoon, feel free to recommend that as well. We really want to stay at around $800 per person for 1 week and will be traveling September 13- September 20, 2009. more

Voting Question: Serious fear of fireworks & other loud noises?

I'm 31 years old & have been dealing with a lifelong fear of fireworks & explosive sounds. I have tried everything to alleviate the fear, i.e. forcing myself to be exposed to them, coming to grips with the fact that they probably won't hurt me, etc... This is the one thing that causes me serious anxiety & I'm embarrassed by it. Every July 4th, I have a ritual... I make dinner then sit home & watch a movie. This works well for me & I'm content that way. My problem now is my boyfriend is insisting a spend the holiday with him & he purchased a fortunes worth of fireworks to ignite. I sort of threw it out there a few weeks ago that they freak me out, but he laughed it off (I don't think he understands the severity of my fear). I used my mom as an excuse as to why I couldn't be with him & he's insisting I bring her over to his house so we can all be together. I'm feeling cornered & trapped & he's not taking no for an answer. What can I do? more

Resolved Question: Pay cuts at GMTV and inflated salaries of low quality presenters?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196438/25-cent-pay-cut-shorter-holidays-GMTV-stars.html Why do you suppose Kate Garraway is on £280K per annum, Lorraine Kelly £350K pa but Fiona Phillips already quit on a salary of £400K pa. This is despite Lorraine Kelly actually presenting her own section on the show. Could Fiona Phillip's better deal be related to the fact that she is married to GMTV boss Martin Frizzell. Is his act of employing his inferior quality wife and then having the nerve to ramp up her pay above everyone else not an abuse of power in a high profile company? I think it should be taken into account when their franchise comes up for renewal, if not sooner. more

Open Question: Would a One Year FICA Tax Holiday be better than the Stimulus Bill?

Obama has $787 Billion to spend. How will he spend it? That is actually the wrong issue -- why is this his decision to make? Why does he get to decide how we stimulate the economy? Doesn't that just run the risk of a political spoils system in which all his political pals get helped out with the money? How is that different from Sudan or the Philippines? Wouldn't a FICA tax holiday for a year 1 July 2009 till 1 July 2010 be more clean, more simple (about 9 lines of code), faster about 1/10,000ths of a second after the "Enter" key is hit, more progressive -- the lowest earning people are proportionately helped the most, and the most stimulative --a right there spendable cash in the paycheck, in the pocket, burning a hole in the pocket -- wants to get out -- let's go to the Mall ans spend it -- whee .. this economic stuff is easy. Effect on Social Security -- nill -- that whole system is completely fraudulent and doomed anyway, this just means it collapses in 13 years instead of 14 years, no big deal. Effect on the States -- nil -- no state taxes are involved -- just FICA. Effect on the working poor -- hugely excellent Effect on the middle class -- pretty darned good. Effect on the upper class -- you gotta be kidding nothing effects the upper class except maybe opening up those Swiss Bank accounts hahahaha! Overall effect -- pure genius! Overall effect of current scheme -- No one knows the current scheme -- but it looks like money down every liberal agenda item from the last 8 years that's been waiting in the wings -- ratholes every one -- social workers, parasites, teachers, f***brains, poor dear darling union members, vote getters for Obama, state service agency personnel (clipbpard people -- you will love it when three of them come to your door), teachers unions (did I mention them already?), anyhow you get my drift -- it's a porky porky drift -- a spoils system -- We won so here's cash for us -- all good friends here, right, oh so delish! We are the World -- We are the Stimulated -- Summer of Cash -- please come with flowers in your hair! The working stiff would get a spendable benefit, 60 seconds from now, in direct proportion to his/her earnings, which would go back out the door, by the end of next week, creating a multiplier effect bigtime. Maybe the Stimulus Bill needs a little amendment --so it's not the Obama is Cash Czar Bill -- it's more like a highly progressive, even-handed program, with no complications, can be done by turning a key and putting in 9 lines of code in 1/10,000th of a second, clean simple, workable, and fair, and very stimulative. That's the mission see? The idea is to get the mission accomplished. Nothing else is the idea. Not helping those who helped Obama. Not being politically correct. Not making a complicated flowchart. Not fixing the energy problems. Not pretending to great patriotic posing. None of that counts. Only the mission counts. The mission = Stimulate the Economy Now!Currently Social Security will go bust in 13 years. A one year FICA tax holiday would change that to 12 years from now. So, the fix is a $10 per pack cigarette tax, and for a similar amount of roll your own tobacco. Use 1% of this revenue to subsidize nicotene patches and oral inhalers. The other 99% goes for the Social Securty Trust Fund. That Fund also has to stop paying for anything other than the original Social Security insurance (no more SSI crazy money). The Medicare costs would be reduced by about 7% over the next 50 years by fewer expensive cancer cases to care for and treat with expensive drugs and surgery. The Southern Tobacco state politicians should simply be shunned by the entire Congress and government when they obstruct these provisions. Their bias is not a valid basis to decline good policy for the nation. America is worth more than all the politicians, and thus it is worth more than a few selfish ignorant biased politicians from the tobacco states. more

Voting Question: We can't join our families together for holidays because of my mom?

I recently got engaged to a wonderful man and while I love and adore his family, his younger sister is engaged to a significantly older man. The main hitch here is, the older man was actually hired as a handy-man by my mom when we moved into a new house. My mom completely disapproves of the relationship and feels she is responsible for it and no matter how many times I tell her how much of a good man this man is and how he is now part of the family, she won't let her anger and resentment grow. This creates problems when it comes time for family get togethers and holidays as my mom refuses to even be in the same room as him let alone in her house. As such, we haven't been able to have the entire family together and nothing I say makes her change her judgement and views. I don't want it to, but I think it will begin to cause rifts between my fiance and I as his family is beginning to feel unwelcome as they believe my mom looks down on them. I try explaining the hardships it's causing to my mom but she just either doesn't seem to care or refuses to even give it a second glance. I don't want to forever be splitting up on holidays or even rotating holidays since our families live 20 minutes from each other and we could all come together as one and celebrate. When I am married, I want our families to be able to intermingle but I just don't think it's going to happen. As much as it upsets me the tension my mom is causing with this, I don't want to leave her out of any family celebrations either - I don't think two wrongs make a right. I just need to know somewhere I could go, or any advice on how to deal with this and maybe just maybe down the road make it possible to bring our two families - ALL members included - together. more

Open Question: Fair priced holidays in the UK or abroad for the single traveller?

Does anyone know of any respectable holiday websites or stable holiday firms that don't rip off single travellers when travelling alone ? In the past when Ive travelled alone Ive ended up paying extortionate prices for my holidays, only to meet people who have paid considerably less because they may have taken a child or gone as a couple to the same destination & ended up with a longer holiday for a lot less money. I wouldn't mind but some of the the airlines Ive used had plenty of empty seats on them & some of the hotels or apartments Ive stayed in weren't overcrowded, plenty of empty rooms. There must be somewhere that gives single travellers a good deal or are we all discriminated against because of the fact some people choose to holiday alone or may not have anyone to go with ? more

Voting Question: I am frightened I am driving my girlfriend away....?

I am in a bit of a mess as I do not know what to do. I am in love with girlfriend in a big way and she has agreed to marry me. We have been together for four years but I have a big big problem with jealousy and insecurity and really I am looking to know how I deal with it. We have just come back from holiday and I hate other men gawping at my partner. I used to be a guy who did not care less as I heve had partners and been married before with no problems but this girl is different. She makes me very happy and I am frightened I am driving her away as these problems are causing arguments and I cannot seem to stop it. I get annoyed when she smiles at men. Why I do not know. I think it is sad but how do I stop it. I feel like I am treating her as a possession rather than a partner. I know she should be able to do what she wants but I suppose I do not trust her to stay faithful. I feel like walking away but it would kill me if I did that. Yes I could get another partner but I would be running away from the best person I could ever meet. What can I do to change the way I am. The thing is I know what I am doing is wrong but I don't know what to do to change things. more

Voting Question: how hard will it be for my german boyfriend to stay with me in the states for 6 months?

Ok, I currently live in Germany, I am here as a us military dependent. I am currently seperated from my husband, but no official divorce will be happening to fast. The seperation is filed, and it legal. I must move back to the states for a short time, before even considering how I will live over here again. The plan is to go back to the states for about 3-6 months. All of my house hold goods, and myself have to return to the states. I have been a stay at home wife for 3 years, so I have no personal inome at the moment, which why I need to stay in the states for a several months to get a savings together. My boyfriend wants to come with me. His English is perfect, and he is skilled as an auto-mechanic, and anything dealing with contrustion, but his specialty is in commercial window systems. I know I can line a job up for him with proof before he ever comes over. And I have really good employment waiting on me as well. Right now he has about 6000 euros saved... so almost close to 10,000 usd. We plan to move back to germany, which at this time we will marry and do things the proper way. I dont want to rush the marriage, specially when my stupid divorce is not finished. I know about the fiance visa, but we dont want to marry there I know he can stay for 3 months on holiday, but can he work? So basically, I want him to be able to earn money, but neither of us plan to stay in the united states for more than 6 months what should we do? where do we start? any help will be amazing! more

Open Question: Does she have feelings for me again all the sudden?? What do these signs mean? Anything?

Okay. This is gonna be long, so be prepared. This AWESOME (my dream girl) chick, broke up with me around this time (Jul) last year, reason being "she wasnt ready for this relationship and still has things about herself she needs to work on, BUT wants to be good friends with me". We dated for just bout 2 months (total of "talking" and dating was 3 months), but BOTH took different approaches than we did with our previous relationships. Getting out most of our disagreements early on to avoid major probs in the future...didn't really work lol. Never cheated. Never argued, DID debate..but always ended in understandings, and talked out ALL of out probs. We were good. I got too comfortable, and didnt want to leave my "bubble". And other people came into play. Ultimately she left me for someone who (at glance) was "better", but showed the scum bag qualities later down the line. We BARELY spoke after wards, like almost NOT AT ALL. Why?? I believe my calling, cause when we broke up, I said I wouldn't be able to be your friend. Kept that word for A YEAR. She'll text around holidays, I may or may not have texted back. Our run ins were VERY awkward (which she admits to now), came into my job once..and she NEVER comes in there, came in, walked around said a cold sounding "Hey", I went to the back, and they already left (less than 8 minutes of being in there). ANYWHO...recently. We're cool. It all started after a flirty comment she made towards me. She starts hitting me up on myspace (hasn't since we were together). Wanting to hangout. So, we start texting each other more often. I showed I cared after something horrible happened to her. I made a gesture of taking her out to get her mind off of things. Came over that night, we did the catch up questions. I STILL didn't ask the ones that would hurt me (ever thought of us getting back together, do u want to get back together, how are you feeling about me, etc..). I did ask why are you single, her reply was "Why not, all these guys are the same", I reply with "maybe youre not making yourself accessible in the RIGHT PLACES and RIGHT crowd" , she said "youre probably right". I did tease that I have about 3 other questions, but aint gonna ask em. Told her I DO have feeling for her, but arent gonna act on em, expalined how I'm one of those friends who always likes her..but she just keeps me AS FRIENDS. And I hate that. her responses were "Oh ok, gotcha"..yeah, not good sounding. BUT...she REALLY wants those other questions to be asked. But AINT NO WAY I'm gonna hurt myself right now. Next day, So we went out, kind of reenacted one of our first dates. All through it she kept pressuring me to ask em, of course I don't. We lay on the beach, she playing in my hair, touching my arm where I got my new tattoos. Asking what I'm thinking about. Then she asked what the questions pertained to, "her?..yes. Another person? ..no. Me?..I SAID NO, even though it does). She got quiet, I changed the subject. Then she said "yes", I said what, she said "to answer your question"..you dont even know my question..lol..we laugh. She keeps saying "nows your chance". I laugh it all off. We play in the water, I've shaken A LOT of insecurities since we dated, and make it shown. She jumps on my back, playing around, i carry her deeper into the water. We walk around, she's now bringing up memories of when we last went out there. We ate in the same restaurant, she brought up where we sat last time. How I used to drive and how i used to get mad, which she always found as super funny..lol..now she's dropping the babes and babys left and right. She texts me about the questions again, while sitting RIGHT NEXT to me. She makes hints to when her fav bands are coming to town, she wants me to watch her fav movie with her sometime soon, and saying that maybe the answers to my "questions" wont be as bad as i think. I keep in mind, she DOES have dude friends. But none seemed to call or text while we were together that day/night, except her bestfriend. That was 3 days ago. Now EVERYDAY, she texts me asking if I'm gonna ask the questions, and she's not gonna stop til I ask. ALL THIS knowing I still like her, but aint really showing it..other than I told her that I do. She also has a rep of NOT EXPRESSING her feelings and sure as hell not talking about em. She was "gaga" (her words to friends) over me when we dated, to actually break down and express her feelings with me. I used to be a "big deal". Am I getting back to that same guy i once was in her eyes?? or is this her just being friends, OR maybe wanting it again..but making sure we start off AS FRIENDS ALL OVER and not rush. I dunno people...what do yall think??? ..had to repost, sorry. I accidentally closed the question (don't really know how to operate this site lol) more

Voting Question: Billy Maays died, it's true, or is it?

??? i am so confused, is this a scam? is there some kind of june's fool holiday that i don't know about? Billy Mays died at the age of 50 (like micheal Jackson) the article that says so is below, no one knows what happened to him but alot of people don't even know that it happened, it seems like it's no big deal, i went on the Pitchmen Website and it was still running and at the top left corner appeared a sentences saying "Billy Mays passe- we will miss him" and that's all? was he really not that famous, is someone trying very hard to hide it, or is this a scam/joke? article:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090628/ap_en_tv/us_obit_billy_mays;_ylt=Ajo0yfB01m4vrSA5r53w5ItzfNdF more

Voting Question: Is she cheating me or What ?

I fell in love with a girl about five yrs ago and when i shared my feelings with that girl she told me that she is in love with some one else but she made me to realize that the relation ship is not going smooth and she encouraged my feeling also... some how she ended up with that relation and we had a couple of dates and she commits me, i introduced her to my family and every one had accepted her although this was an intercast relation, i have a small business of mine and appointed her in my own office, after in last year december i came to know that she was dating some of her school time crush (x guy) and also that she was still in touch with last guy she ended up with, Some of my friend caught her red handed and informed me about that and when i traced her call logs she had been talking talking to him for hours in a day, this was a sheer disappointment for me. I had a word with her and by January she committed me that since we have a long relation ship and she really love me she is going to end up all these confusions and all she accepted that she had been on a wrong track and she is really ashamed for that she needs a break so we had a good holiday i asked her after that if the thing is settled she told me all done, But one of my own employee told me about a business deal that was done with the guy she was dating(her school time crush) while the deal was taking place she told me that the client is her uncle, the very same day i fortunately spy into her chat session that she was having with an online friend of her about her life that she is confused what should she opt for now, as she knws that there is an to her school time crush for marriage and she is engaged here with me also, what should she do.... she also mentioned him that i am quite busy with business and not able to give her proper time and she dated x guy and all that at this time she was on leave for a month, the same day i droped her a sms that there is nothing between us and she should live a happier life at this she again started to beg on the time we had togeather and that i must think once again and all OK she again promised and i was a person to accept her again, during this time she told me that she had a word with her grand mom about our relation and she disaggreed to this due to intercaste but she damaged her hand on this and she had to go the hospital and all, but by the time she is back to work for a week now she is not giving time to me, although she always have to leave early or her mom or dad is waiting, before joining the office she was calling me every night saying to say good night and she had been dropping a good night sms ending with love... but now no calls no sms. what do you suggest me ? what is in her mind ?let me also tell you that at my end every one who knows me he knows her as my fiance... kindly suggest me something appropriate more

Resolved Question: Hiring a car in Cyprus, help please!?

I'm about to go on holiday to Cyprus and have just found out I'll need to hire a car as the one I was going to be using has been sold. I'm having alot of problems finding a reasonable deal on a car hire, I'm 24 and have had my license for about 20months so I'm automatically excluded from most companies. I found Europcar who would rent to me but told me I'd have to put down a ridiculous deposit on top of the payment to hire the car. Does anyone know of a good reputable company that don't charge through the roof prices and don't have lots of silly surcharges and deposits? I really need to hire a car as I'm staying in quite a remote area. more
