Resolved Question: please someone can help me?

Today is very hot here in my area (I'm from Portugal) and I've been feeling a little bad myself. Now more for the night, I started to shake and have double vision (I'm not drunk, because I do not drink alcohol), sweating, dizziness and difficulty speaking without pausing. I measured my blood pressure and it is (9/5) and pulse is 60. What should I do? Please if someone could help me, I thank you. P.S.: i have been drinking a lot of water during the day.

Voting Question: Do you think she is mad at me? Do you think its stupid that I'm kind of annoyed with her?

This is gunna be long but please just read it. thanks. Ok so my really really good pal, lets call her Jen, one of my best best friends, is acting like shes mad at me. Ok, so, last sunday i was talking to her about the world cup games (as we have done for every the past games) and everything was seeming fine. This was every in text, by the way. Then she sends me this: so this weekend wuz crazy. I found out that someone likes me and wants to hang out and i think he's gunna ask me out! and so of course, i ask Who is it??? and she said she couldn't tell me, but she could tell me that it wasnt Matt (the boy she actually likes) So i said ok..well if he asks you out and you say yes can you tell me who it is? And she said she would tell me but she probably won't say yes b/c she likes matt, not this guy. So i asked her where she was gunna hang out with him, and she said "idk..I'll probably go to the park with him with Allie (her other pal)" and then we pretty much went back to talking about the world cup and the argentina game from that day. But she didnt answer my last text about something in the game. Then, on tuesday, i texted "are you watching the game?" (the portugal game) and there was no answer. I didnt text her again until saturday morning after the argentina game. i was surprised she didnt text me because we both wanted arg to win and usually she always texts me about the games. i said "hey, u there?" and 3 hours later she responds with a simple "yeah" then, i said "did you look the game?" again, she only says "yeah." This is odd because usually she'd send like a whole paragraph. Then the relax of her texts were just one or two word answers, and she didn't respond to my last text at every, in which i asked her a question. This every really makes me think she is mad at me. I don't know why she didn't text me at every about the game and why her texts were only one word. And what's worse: i have no idea why she would be mad at me. i didnt do anything to her...and everything was fine on last sunday when we were texting, and then every the sudden it just got weird. Now im thinking maybe shes just in a bad mood because of something that happened...maybe with the boy she thought was gunna ask her out. What do you think? What could it be? This is why I'M mad/annoyed with HER (which makes this ironic that she seems mad at me, because i havent done ANYTHING to her that should make her mad) : i think it is ridiculous that she wont tell me who the boy is, since we're very close. she also once got mad at our pal Liza because Liza wouldnt tell us who she liked. she was like "Whats the big deal were good friends?"..so this makes her a hypocrite. >:( Also, she gets nice of annoying with every this boy Matt crap. For the past like 6 months she always texts me with the drama going on with matt. she thinks he likes her.she thinks he doesnt like her. she thinks he lied to her..blah blah blah..and she comes to me and i dont want her to be unhappy or anything but really, enough is enough! finally, this annoys me the most: the fact that shes going to the park with allie and this boy. I don't care that shes not going with me to the park. The thing is, she's not really good friends with Allie! So now she has told Allie who this boy is, and not me, who is closer and known her for longer. I would never tell anyone else who the boy is, I'm trustworthy, and she should know that. She's been doing this a lot lately. Last year at camp, she nice of ditched me a lot for this other girl she just met at camp. More recently, we were on this field trip thing and there were only 4 girls in our group (including me and Jen). The others were haley, who i HATE and jen knows that, and Libby, who Jen recently became friends with. the directors told us we each needed a partner, and i was about to ask Jen to be mine, but immediately she said "LIBBY YOUR MY PARTNER!!!" so i was stuck with Haley. (the fact that i was with haley didnt bother me. what bothered me is that Jen went to Libby over me.) She does this sorta thing every the time, and it makes me feel like she doesnt care about me. So, do you think shes mad at me? Do i have the right to be annoyed at her (for the over reasons)? Thanks so much and thank you so much for reading this entire thing :/ also, should i ask her if shes mad at me?

Resolved Question: where in europe should i live in?

I live in the US and when i receive a degree and start making money i want to move to europe for a couple years for an experience (I want to become a teacher). Just so you know, i know about the whole visa thing so please don't bring that up, every i want, is to know which country i should live in. Some extra information are, i talk english, french, and very little spanish, i am going to europe for an experience so a country that can provide that would be nice, i am a laid back person, but i do like to do activities. I want to go to a place where i would have fun visiting things. I am moving there so i can learn about another countries culture as well so, i would be willing to learn their language. Some countries that interest me a lot up to now (no offense to anyone else's country) are: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Ireland. Those are just the main ones. Please any info on the country would be appreciated (by info i mean cost of living, wages, health care (good or bad), racial discrimination, friendliness, etc). Thank you and have a good day. I am not going for maybe a year or 2, so i will be able to learn a new language (hopefully), i am just trying to prepare for the move. I am also not picky at every when it comes to food, just some exra info but the answers i have gotten so far are really helpful so thank you.

Resolved Question: Will Obama allow this ship to help with the oil spill or sit back and do nothing?

Huge oil-skimming boat makes Virginia cease en route to Gulf of Mexico With no assurances it will be allowed to join the Gulf of Mexico oil spill cleanup, a Taiwanese-owned boat billed as the world's largest skimming vessel was preparing to sail Friday evening to the scene of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The boat -- the length of 3 1/2 football fields and 10 stories high -- is designed to collect up to 500,000 barrels of oily water a day through 12 vents on either side of its bow. It docked in Norfolk en route to the Gulf from Portugal, where it was retrofitted to skim the seas. The boat and its crew of 32 were to leave Virginia waters Friday evening. The owners of the "A Whale" said the boat features a new skimming approach that has never been attempted on such a big scale. They are anxious to put it to its first test in the Gulf. http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/06/huge_oil-skimming_ship_makes_v.html Jerry - Nope sorry, the boat is register in tiawan!

Voting Question: family troubles. i need help? please.?

hi, my family is in huge trouble. its nice of a long story, but i really have no one to talk to. here i go: my parents have been married for 15 years. last december they got in the biggest battle. so big that even the police was called (not for anything major, dont worry). they had that battle because my mom went out with her friends (that really doesnt happen at every) and i think my dad got jealous. this battle went on for 1.5 months and it was horrible for me. i gained 15 lbs and got really depressed. when they cooled off, i thought everything would be fine. i was wrong. this april they went on a trip together to portugal and i really thought that they would have a ton of fun... they came home fighting as usual. this time it was about money. this battle lasted for about 2 weeks. by that time ive lost every the wieght, but i got even more unhappy. so now, they are fighting about money... but like the battle that happened in april. this time, my mom called my dad's mom and told her to pack her bags and arrive here because they want to divorce. so , i think because of anger and shock, my dad quickly called my mom's parents and they had a huge argument on the phone. this lasted about 2 hrs. my dad is leaving on a buissness trip to france for a whole week today. and of course this had to happen the day that he is leaving. my heart hurts and i have no one to talk to. dont they realize that they are killing a wonderful family? it seems to me that they really dont have a relationship with each other any more. and it kills me to think that i wont go home and find BOTH of my parents together. last time we did something together without any fighting was when we went bowling 3 weeks ago. i just dont know what i can do. i need help. my family needs help. i have younger siblings. my sister seriously stopped eating because she is so unhappy. we are going on a family vacation to france and lebanon in 2weeks for a month. i really really wish they wont receive into a battle there. im so hurt that i really just dont feel emotion... i just feel numbness. what do i do? can i help this family receive back together or are we just finsihed? ps. im 14 and both my parents are doctors. btw they have been going to a marriage councilor but, everytime that they do go, they just end up fighting even more. fml

Voting Question: English fans, this guy has hit the nail on the head... Must Read...?

http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/31278.html I am English and England fan and I used to have the same attitude. My mate summed up this attitude up the other day when he said to me 'name me a better team on paper than England'. I said Brazil, Spain, Germany, Portugal, etc, even the likes of Chile. He laughed of course. The reason we think we are so good on paper is because the English players are so famous in England and we assume they are this famous outside of England. Lampard and Barry Vs Iniesta and Xavi, or even, Alonso and Fabregas. It is just a joke isn't it? English players just do not have the technique of the foreigners. The English game is built on determination not technique. The English press are largely to blame for our ignorance.

Resolved Question: What do you think about the World Cup this year?

For me, I think it's a ugliest and most unfair WC I ever watch. Let forget about the errors that the refs made. Let look at the Semi-final schedule. Netherlands and Brazil played yesterday, Paraguay and Portugal or Spain played today. Netherlands and Brazil played on the 2nd of July. Paraguay will play the winner of Portugal and Spain on the 3rd. These four teams only have like 4 days of relax. The other four which includes Germany, Argentina, Ghana, and Uruguay will have 6 and 7 days of relax. I won't be surprise if one of the four teams from Group A-C will win the WC this year. How about you guys?

Resolved Question: Why can't I get a girlfriend? If you don't like reading, err...don't click this.?

Yeah, a lot of people ask this question (why can't I receive a girlfriend), so I'm going to make my plight in my possess words. If you don't want to read the whole thing, please just click the back button. I understand if I only receive two or three responses At a minimum they are thoughtful, and formed with the whole picture in mind. I haven't been *completely* women deprived in my eighteen years of life. I've arrive pretty close to sex once - though, it was a lust thing. I mean, it was in another country on a one month trip. That kinda' stuff doesn't happen here (USA) for me, nor do I really want that. There was a blond girl that dated me earlier this year, although...her interests...were not mine. Our brains didn't connect at any level, and we have virtually no common interests. Throughout High School I'd be lying if I said I was a well-known popular guy. Noo, I definitely fell into the unknown. I'm not some socially incapable being - in fact, I talk to big groups/audiences with ease, as well as converse with those of every ages without the slightest hindrance. But, I'm just not interested in most main-stream things! I adore computer games. I spend half my day on the computer (mind you, if I had a girlfriend, I'd adore to spend my time with her). I also adore to read, and by read, I mean science fiction nonsense, the most farcical fantasy with orcs, goblins, wizards, and swords. I adore it every. On the contrary to many my brethren, I exercise often. I've ridden my road bicycle to school and back almost twenty miles a day. Sometimes, I take my full suspension downhill mountain bike out to the trails, and do some jumps and trial skills. When it gets really hot, I take my bicycle, hop on the city bus, and go down to the local ice skating rink where I dominate the ice (^^ I'm not thee best, but I can honestly say I'm one of the best at every session, and that isn't trying to be some conceited ***). I would adore to think I'm a really nice guy. I'll hold the door open for anyone (literally and figuratively), I'll go out of my way to help someone (whether it be helping them find something they lost in a store, spend a few minutes breaking up an argument, etc (difficult to think of examples when I'm writing a sort of self summary :/)). I don't really watch much TV, although, the year I spent in Portugal studying abroad, I did watch entire series (Scrubs, How I met your mom, Heroes, etc.) Here in America, I've watched my absolute favorite TV series, Stargate SG-1. Atlantis isn't bad! Universe...I dunno. I'll leave that opinion up to you. Star Wars is hands down awesome. C'mon - who doesn't like Starships with lasers, add on top of that guys who can swivel their hands and toss someone against a wall? Lord of the Rings is awesome. Jurassic Park? Hell yes! Office Space? Catch me if you Can? Pride and Prejudice? Stardust ^^ (has a special place in my heart). Anyways. I receive a car in a few days, along with my license. Maybe this will help? I've always felt not being able to steer a girl to a date kinda' spoils the whole 'date' ideal. Well - here's two pics of me (in additional details). One was a few weeks ago, this one a few days ago. I didn't try to pretty up in either, as that's what she would receive half the time. No point in doing some amazing camera shot to fake how I look 24/7. If it's my looks - tell me! At least I can relax in peace knowing there's nothing I can do about it. Is it because I'm Atheist? Everyone seems to be religious! I'm not stating that's a bad thing, but when I tell them I'm Atheist, there just seems to be this huge wall that prevents them from dating me :/ Thanks people. Honesty is welcome, as fluffing up what you really think doesn't help me. http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu356/spasemnspiff/P1020661.jpg http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu356/spasemnspiff/Me.jpg

Open Question: Ive been seeing this guy and now hes working abroad for a couple of weeks and cant contact him?

ive been seeing a guy for a few months and we usually talk and text every day quite a lot. the other day he went to work in portugal for a couple of weeks and his phone was playing up first as we couldnt hear eachother properly whilst talking on the phone and we werent getting every of eachothers txts and now his phone is completely not working and we have no other way of contacting eachother til he gets back. im quite an insecure person anyway and this is making me worry that he will forget about me. i know im probably being stupid but i hate that i cant talk to him and worry that he wont be missing me as much as i miss him, as i dont think guys seem to be as bothered as girls are about things like that

Resolved Question: Is there something wrong with me? Erm...?

Yeah, a lot of people ask this question, so I'm going to make my plight in my possess words. I haven't been *completely* women deprived in my eighteen years of life. I've arrive pretty close to sex once - though, it was a lust thing. I mean, it was in another country on a one month trip. That kinda' stuff doesn't happen here (USA) for me, nor do I really want that. There was a blond girl that dated me earlier this year, although...her interests...were not mine. Our brains didn't connect at any level, and we have virtually no common interests. Throughout High School I'd be lying if I said I was a well-known popular guy. Noo, I definitely fell into the unknown. I'm not some socially incapable being - in fact, I talk to big groups/audiences with ease, as well as converse with those of every ages without the slightest hindrance. But, I'm just not interested in most main-stream things! I adore computer games. I spend half my day on the computer (mind you, if I had a girlfriend, I'd adore to spend my time with her). I also adore to read, and by read, I mean science fiction nonsense, the most farcical fantasy with orcs, goblins, wizards, and swords. I adore it every. On the contrary to many my brethren, I exercise often. I've ridden my road bicycle to school and back almost twenty miles a day. Sometimes, I take my full suspension downhill mountain bike out to the trails, and do some jumps and trial skills. When it gets really hot, I take my bicycle, hop on the city bus, and go down to the local ice skating rink where I dominate the ice (^^ I'm not thee best, but I can honestly say I'm one of the best at every session, and that isn't trying to be some conceited ***). I would adore to think I'm a really nice guy. I'll hold the door open for anyone (literally and figuratively), I'll go out of my way to help someone (whether it be helping them find something they lost in a store, spend a few minutes breaking up an argument, etc (difficult to think of examples when I'm writing a sort of self summary :/)). I don't really watch much TV, although, the year I spent in Portugal studying abroad, I did watch entire series (Scrubs, How I met your mom, Heroes, etc.) Here in America, I've watched my absolute favorite TV series, Stargate SG-1. Atlantis isn't bad! Universe...I dunno. I'll leave that opinion up to you. Star Wars is hands down awesome. C'mon - who doesn't like Starships with lasers, add on top of that guys who can swivel their hands and toss someone against a wall? Lord of the Rings is awesome. Jurassic Park? Hell yes! Office Space? Catch me if you Can? Pride and Prejudice? Stardust ^^ (has a special place in my heart). Anyways. I receive a car in a few days, along with my license. Maybe this will help? I've always felt not being able to steer a girl to a date kinda' spoils the whole 'date' ideal. Well - here's two pics of me - you can just press the next button to go the second photo. One was a few weeks ago, this one a few days ago. I didn't try to pretty up in either, as that's what she would receive half the time. No point in doing some amazing camera shot to fake how I look 24/7. If it's my looks - tell me! At least I can relax in peace knowing there's nothing I can do about it. To sum it up, since I've been asking Yahoo Answers, I always receive the "Patience, the right one will arrive." It's been three years and she still eludes me :/. I comprehend that I'm eighteen (a very early stage of life), but there's no remedy but the company of special someone when you look people together everywhere. I was really reminded of this when I went to Disneyland last Friday. Thanks people. Honesty is welcome, as fluffing up what you really think doesn't help me. http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu356/spasemnspiff/Me.jpg http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu356/spasemnspiff/P1020661.jpg

I'm going to go to university next year. I've finished 9th grade and now it's called university in portugal, don't know about US or england, I think it's called college there. Anyways, it won't be in the same town as my mom or dad live, so I'm going to receive a home there.... Which my mom will pay. (I won't buy it, I will rent it). So I don't need money for anything... I basiclly have fun on the beach the whole day, and then at night I sit in my PC or go and walk my dog, and I play chess. Is it nerdy not to have a job? I'm the only one of my friends that doesn't have one. I also don't help my mom and dad in home anything... Should I do something more? Should I look for a job, but I don't need the money for anything, is it okay not to have a job? Or should I receive one?

Voting Question: Was the idea about making America a land of religious freedom thought of before the “Founding Fathers”?

I was watching a documentary the other day about the Dutch who settled New Amsterdam (New York) back in the 17th century. When I watch documentaries, I also like to keep a Wikipedia page open to read about the stuff that gets mentioned. I read that there was a sizeable population of Sephardic Jews who were escaping the Spanish Inquisition in Portugal and sought refuge in New Amsterdam. A lot of the Dutch colonists were against letting the Jews arrive into their community but the Dutch leaders were insistent that they would not persecute people based on their religion. Even the English King James was insistent about the British American colonies, which were below his rule at the time, about not persecuting people based on religion. So Americans who act like the “Founding Fathers” were the originators of religious freedom are not really aware of the whole truth, right?

Resolved Question: Trying to get a bit of ease (cancer)?

- Ok, so, I'm a 15 years old male. I don't eat a lot of salad, but I'm improving. Never smoked, but sometimes (rarely) I receive a bit of passive smoke from my parents. I do spend a bit of time in the computer (like, I go to the computer every day). I've started going to the gym, for the past couple of weeks, every day except weekends. I live on an island, close Portugal or Morocco (no need to specify, but I thought it might help.. it's a tiny island, not sure if that reduces the risks for cancer, I mean, it's not like it's contagious, but I don't know). As far as I'm concerned, no one in my closest family had cancer (I asked my dad: did anyone in the family receive/die from cancer? He said 'no', but I don't know, he could probably just be trying to make me forget about it. But he meant every the way back to my great grandmother and every that, not further back, since he was not alive by then.) In the American Cancer Society (ACS from now on) it says that, for males, the lifetime probability of developing cancer (any type) is 44.05%, and dying from any of those cancers is 23.24%. -------- My question: -------- Given my aspects of life (I know you can't be specific, I mean, we're talking about probabilities for an illness), do my probabilities for getting/dying from cancer decrease in comparison to those in the ACS? Or do they increase due to some risk factor in there? Oh oh, and by the way, is that a PESSIMISTIC probability? Like, for someone who has smoked a few times, doesn't do a lot of exercise, NEVER eats salad, blabla? Or for someone normal, that SOMETIMES does those things?

Resolved Question: So I really like this guy but I never see him...?

So I really like this guy. He doesn't know who I am but we've been texting a lot. He hasn't texted me back or answered his phone for the past few days but I'm positive he isn't answering anyone's calls or texts because I got other people to call him. Anyways, I'll be gone on holidays for three weeks in about two weeks and he's going away (he just got back from Portugal on Monday) on Saturday for a week. That's kinda confusing, I know. The thing is, I really, really like him. He's so silly, sweet, gorgeous and we're really same in the sense that we have the same views and adore the same music and everything. I don't know how I'm going to survive without him, and if I don't look him by the end of this week I'll be heartbroken. He's every I can think about and, even though I don't think he really knows who I am, he still texted me. That must mean something, right? Basically, my question is, what should I do? Should I keep looking for him and attempt to strike up a conversation in the hopes that he'll ask me out? Should I just try and suffocate my feelings for him? Should I text him or talk to one of his friends about where he is or whatever? And how am I supposed to survive not seeing him for the relax of the Summer? Thanks, Rosalie XX

Resolved Question: ★ Please help! Read description please?

Basically, I have a pal on Facebook who is my ex-classmate. I used to have a crush on him, because he was a really sweet guy, but he went back to England. The other day, I was checking my Facebook mail and he sent me a message asking me if so and so had Facebook and I said yes and sent him links to their profiles. We started talking about other stuff and I asked him about his summer and he said that he went to Portugal and on Friday he was coming to Hong Kong (where I live now) and to look if we could meet up. I don't know what to say, because when I chatted to him, I remembered how sweet he was and started liking him again, but if we do meet up I have a feeling it's going to be awkward. I have no idea how to tell my parents (they'll think I'm going on a date with him and they don't approve of my age yet). But obviously, he meant just as friends, although he added a couple x's at the end. If I say yes, where should I suggest we go and how do I tell my parents? Should I suggest that I bring along friends (old friends of his too) or does he mean a date? Or should I just turn him down...but how? Thank you so much and God bless. Thanks guys! Don't be disappointed that I'm not going to pick a Best Answer because the answers helped me a lot! :) Thanks guys!

Resolved Question: Discuss the possibilities of each of these teams taking their first world cup in the near to distant future?

Lets start with UEFA: Netherlands: has been in 3 finals, but has never been able to man up in the final match. I figure they have to win one sooner or later, but who knows. Portugal: Have usually shown they are a team to be taken seriously even though they are lacking in the medal department. Have one of the best players in the world with C Ronaldo and made Spain work on their win this year. Sweden: A contender that did not make it to the World Cup this year, but has shown itself to be a promising team. Russia: Who can neglect the giant of Eastern Europe. Their football team has become much more competative and were even able to knock out the Netherlands in Euro 2008. But they could not make it to the World Cup this year. now CONCACAF: Mexico: Always there always persistent but they always seem to lose in the world cup. They have a big arsenal of honors including many Gold Cups, and even a Confederations Cup. Are the team that has lost the most matches in World Cup history, but if you think about it this speaks more about their persistence as they are always in the world cup to lose these matches. United States: Defenitely an up and coming footie nations. Many people mock it and disregard it, but I think they are a current middle power in terms of footie. Players are starting to infiltrate European teams where they can gain some sounds experience. now lets do CONMEBOL: Paraguay: I powerful display this World Cup with what is increasingly becoming a world class team. They qualified in 2nd place to the World Cup behind only Brazil in South America. And in the quarterfinals they truly gave the eventual champions a run for their money. Colombia: With recent Copa America success (they actually won it in 2001!) who can deny such an engaging team. Although it should be noted that they are not asstrong recently and did not qualify for the World Cup this year. how about Asia: Japan: A proud display from the Samurai this year. Taking Paraguay down to the line in penalties. It seems like ever since Japan and South Korea hosted the world cup they have both become contendors. South Korea: Who can forget their entertaining match against Nigeria or their slaughter of the Greeks. Similar to Japan, ever since hosting the World Cup they seem to be growing in potential. Australia: Really failed to deliver this World Cup, but still a potential gold mine of athletic talent. Similar to the US. Now lets talk Africa: Egypt: The dominant power in the African Cup of Nations now for quite some time, but failed to qualify to the World Cup. They have strong players Zidane's brilliant displays in the last Confed Cup. Ghana: A fairly brilliant run through the World Cup this year, especially considering that Essein their star player was not on the field. Ivory Coast: No one can deny the star power of the Ivory Coast. I don't believe I've ever seen so many players from an African country play at the very top level of European clubs. They are every over the place from Chelsea to Sevilla to Manchester City. But alas they were misplaced against Brazil and Portugal this world cup and were not able to show their true worth. Cameroon: Take us back to 1990, what a brilliant run Cameroon gave us that year. Well...so I've heard as I was too young too remember lol. They really disillusioned me this world cup, but hopefully better days will follow ahead:)

Resolved Question: Is my life as hard as I think it is?

Last summer 2009 I moved to Madeira. Which is a tiny island of Portugal. I didn't know the language and I'm not Portuguese and neither are my parents. I suppose they had wanted to move here because of the "beautiful" landscapes and the weather. Before then, I had been living London, going to school in London. Living my life, basically. It's been a whole year that I've been here and every I do is sob. I hate this island, it's so boring and everything is so far away. For the whole year I had to go to this school, which I honestly disliked. Most days I would of gotten home at 17:30 or even 18:00 exhausted. It's not just the fact that I got home from school tardy, it was how the teachers treated me. They told me not to talk in English because we are in PORTUGAL. And even my form tutor told my pal's mum I'm going to become a prostitute or a whore when I'm older. He also said things about me when I was there, excepting me not to understand what he had said. But I did. He said things like "You two(These two girls who talked to me ) can always cease talking to her and not go to the same path as she is. The teachers in lessons would act as if I didn't exist. Each lesson I didn't do anything because I didn't fully understand what they were saying and you too would probably receive bored of five 90 minute lessons a day. My mum and my dad found English friends who had two daughters aged 8 and 11. We used to go look them every weekend. Not that I wanted to or anything. I wanted to have my weekends alone, relaxing. Which is something I rarely had gotten on school days. Once, I told my dad that I didn't feel like going to their pal's home because we've been going to their home three days in a row. When we go to their home, or they go to ours we usually leave at 11 or later. Then my dad threw me onto the floor and started to hit me because I didn't want to go that day. He also took every of my electrical appliances away (Computer, phone, iPod, DLSR and hair straightener) and threatened me to give my cat away. My mum told me before we went to Madeira, that this was only for us to look what it was like here and if we wanted to, we could go back. And now I told her about it and she claims she never said that. We were planning to move back to England (My mum and me) back in March, but it seems as if she's gone against me in some way. And the home that I was supposed to be going to, The home that I got my hopes up upon is actually going to be given to my sister and her friends. And she knows that I really wanted to go and how much I hate it here. I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense This isn't the first or the second time or even the third time I've cried over every of this. My parents know I hate it here. It's so heartbreaking seeing my friends have fun in London, and me sitting down doing nothing for practically this whole year. Why don't they understand? What should I do? And do I have any reason to be as unhappy as I am? By the way I'm only 14. Thanks.

Resolved Question: What travel shoe looks good with pants and a dress?

It needs to have support and stability to handle cobblestones, be comfortable for touring every day and look good. I'm trying to avoid taking 3 or 4 different pairs of shoes to Portugal. I also don't won't to turn my ankle so they need to be comfortable. I tend to like Skechers that look like bikers shoes because of the support but I'm not thrilled with the colors and they don't look good with a cute dress. If nothing fits the requirements I guess I can take 2 pairs of shoes. Any suggestions or recommendations from someone who has traveled lately?

Resolved Question: Could you help me out a bit with the details for my character, please?

Basically, I'm writing a story that has nothing to do with vampires (cue sigh of relief from exhausted answerers). Instead, it has everything to do with fairies, and I've adapted mythology mainly from Celtic Europe and ancient Rome and Greece to make up a whole load of different classes and races of fairies (or the Fae, if you like) along with a history, etc. etc. This writing is purely for pleasure, it's just a little hobby of mine. I'm trying to kill my character. Harsh, yes, relevant to the plot, also. I haven't actually worked out much of the main framework for my main character, but I need her dying for a part of my plot to kick in. I'm trying to kill her via snake bite, and since her death is in the past, it's likely to be fatal. Trouble is, I've made a list of various poisonous and potentially deadly snake, I just can't pick one! Please select for me: 1) The Portuguese Viper, lives in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Has a relatively low death rate as well as a pretty undramatic name. 2) The Northern Cross Adder, lives in France and Germany, has a slightly more dramatic name but it has a 4% (modern) death rate. 3) The Asp, lives in the Mediterranean, dramatic name and about 10% death rate in kids. 4) The Montpellier Snake, found in the Med, only fatal in severe cases, but has a pretty snazzy name. 5) The Horned Viper, dramatic name, dramatic death rate even in our day and age, found in the Mediterranean. 6) The Leventine Viper, has the best name, lives in southern Europe, and numerous deaths are reported due to it every year. So what do you think? Obviously the location of the snake nice of dictates the location of the character, but it's vital to her death. It doesn't really matter much after wards, because the relax of the story is set in the UK. Thanks :) Sorry if I didn't make much sense!
