Hey Guys, Well basically I have started a year ago making hair accessories and selling them in my family's business in the summer. And would love to continue selling them throughout the year but do not know where to start. I am starting university this year and would love to help my parents to pay for it, so this would be fantastic if I could sell my accessories. I have recently got paypal to start selling online but I have to wait until its activated, so in about 2 weeks I can use it. I was told that I should look for hair salons and gift shops etc but in my area there aren't many and most are big chains that already have their own brands. If anybody could share their ideas or experiences I would be so happy and grateful. P.S , Nasty comments aren't welcome, this question is only for people who are willing to answer with respect. I am really tired of nasty people on this.

When my Husband and I got married. We did not have a wedding. We did the courthouse thing. My Sisters and friends all had regular and beautiful weddings. I would like to do something for our 10 year to kinda make up for it. At the Courthouse, it was just my Parents and youngest sister and His friend as a witness. My Mom bought my dress the day before and I felt like we both looked horrible and we didn't have a reception after or gifts. This is an experience that I wish we could have had. Any idea's about what we could do? I don't want it to really be a renewal of vows because our first are still true. We love each other very much and Thank God for each other. We are also finishing an addition on our house and thought about doing a combo !0 year Anniversary/House warming. I just need idea's about how to go about it. Thanks for all your help. :) I need to add that the addition has a new kitchen, living room and bedrooms/bathrooms. And we have only had the house for 2 years and have not had a house warming for it. We are moving into the addition when it is finished and my parents are staying in the existing. Just wanted to make sure no one thought we were trying to get gifts for adding a bedroom or something. :) when you say that I don't want to destroy the love and peace in my family. are you talking about if I have children? I don't and my other family and his all know that I want to do something and are in support of it.

I am currently arranging for a holocaust survivor to visit my school. I wanted to do something special to really welcome her in, and of course, give her a gift before she leaves. I know I want to give her flowers...but that doesn't seem enough for someone who survived the Holocaust. Another idea I had was to have every student write her a message on a heart, and give all these to her in a basket. Anyone have any suggestions who have experienced an assembly with a survivor? Or possibly anyone who speaks Hebrew or is Jewish that might have an idea as to how to welcome in someone like her? She is Anita Schorr. I would like to add that 1. I do not need to be attacked on here, I am just asking for advice and 2. I checked with her because I am constantly in contact with her, and yes, she DOES speak Hebrew 3. I have been doing a lot of research and all of this on my own. I understand that nothing will ever make up this tragedy to her, but I wanted to make her feel welcomed and thought of personally, since her culture and her identity was taken away from her in her younger and teen years. Thank you for your responses, and I apologize if you found my question offensive or vulgar.

Basically my parents are really strict and homeschooled me since I started 9th grade. They aren't letting me go to college, though, and just intend on making me work for their IT business for what seems like the rest of my life (like an indentured servant), which is definitely not what I want to do. I'd much rather be independent, but they don't let me ever leave the house on my own either so that I can do things on my own (which also means I cannot apply for jobs behind their backs so I can move out). To further explain, they pretty much have my whole day scheduled out, and the only thing I really do on my own is sneak onto the Internet when they are not looking. I know this all sounds negative, but it really feels terrible living like this. I am not the type of person who can keep handling being yelled at, getting my hair and ears pulled, and getting whacked in the head (as if I am living in the 1950s). If I cannot leave, I'd rather be dead. But from a better point of view, I'd much rather work at somewhere like Taco Bell or Wal-Mart and live in a storage unit temporarily. I do not need a good place to stay or many things to be happy. I could also live in a car later on, and perhaps move into an apartment with room-mates when I am ready. Anyway, there are a few main issues I see in running away. The first issue is having no place to stay and contact information. (Because I have been homeschooled, I don't have any friends whom I could go to. And relatives would just let my parents know where I am if I went to them, [which would render me as dead meat]). If I run away, the only things I would have with me is some money lying in the house ($700) and an out-of-state driver's license. My first plan was to rent a storage unit from Public Storage (for me to sleep in) and get some blankets and toiletries for me to use from CVS (which is in a shopping complex very close to the Public Storage). I'd use store bathrooms to wash my face, shave, etc. After I get that taken care of, I'd start Iooking for jobs. I'd first rent a PO box to receive mail and then buy a prepaid cell phone to receive caIIs. Then, I'd go around to different stores/fast food restaurants within walking distance and apply. I am a male, though, with no job/volunteer experience, and no idea on how to find a job. I have a very annoying and obnoxious voice, and I pronounce some words incorrectly (something like a lisp), but I've noticed people working in Target who do not talk much better than me, so I guess it's not completely hopeless. I'd really appreciate some guidance on this. Lastly, I don't think I have all the requirements for getting a job. You need a sociaI security card to work, right? My parents have mine locked up in a bank vault at Wells-Fargo, though. I do have a bank account, however (My parents opened it to get some $100 gift card or something), so I could deposit paychecks in it. All in all, could someone (preferably, someone who isn't going to badmouth me or tell me to stay with my parents---and who has experience living rough like this) give me some advice on going through with my plan? I really appreciate answers, but if you are not going to bother reading the details (even though they are long), I'd rather have you not answer. I mean, it is just plain annoying to get answers with no thought at all about what I wrote. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am 18.

I need an outside source to proofread my entrance essay and tell me what you think? Any english criticism or ideas / problems you see,, i would like to know. TOPIC: Imagine you have graduated from Temple University. You are preparing to attend your 10-year reunion, and the alumni office has asked you to write a one-page essay about your personal and professional accomplishments since graduation. What would yours say? ANSWER: As I’m writing this essay I’m actually saying “wow” to myself in astonishment thinking about how it’s been a whole decade since I had graduated from Temple University. I think about how I’ve undergone many life-changing experiences just a decade after my attendance at Temple. My time after graduation is what’s led to be a series of professional accomplishments to me. Personally for me, it’s turned into a decent career, and lastly, it’s made me appreciate my time spent learning in college. I knew that I’d never give up learning even after my masters’ degree at temple, and that is why I studied toward my Ph.D. in Mathematics. If I hadn’t done such a thing, then I wouldn’t have received the “Teacher of the Year” award two years later for my outstanding performance in classroom creativity and my association with the children in the community. Shortly afterwards, I joined the “National Parent-Teacher Association (PTA”), where I continued to show my love for teaching and work ethics needed to keep education at its best. Now, I work at Pennsylvania University, one of the best schools of the state, so I can honestly say that after a decade Temple University had completely begun the improvement of my life. Even today, I continue to enjoy teaching students and working with the community. In the end I can only say what a pleasure it’s been to be able to attend Temple which has proven to be a school of opportunity for students There isn’t much I can do but say thank you to those professors and school leaders who have inspired me to work my hardest and prepare me for my life’s dream of becoming an excellent middle school math/science teacher. Admission into Temple University was the gift that made me to the person who I am today, and I expect to acknowledge it for another decade. Tell me what you think, what should I add/delete, is it a complete disaster? and so on

Okay so for a while I've been experiencing addiction to unhealthy food and it's caused quite a bit of depression and anxiety for me. Lately I've found that my ability to hold onto thoughts has become significantly weakened. I've always felt that I had a deep literary gift, as far back into my life as I can remember I felt very strongly about things and I would delightfully let out my emotions through poetry and writing, but lately when I've felt sparks of inspiration light up inside me it just seems to disappear into the recesses of my mind the next second so I can't put it down in writing the way it would have come out passionately if I had been able to hold onto it and it just causes such sadness and frustration for me, I've been hoping deary that it's just a side effect of stress I've been experiencing but the worry remains I might have sort of killed my mental strength with my addiction, because I've read that unhealthy food does kill brain cells, but can someone help me? Do you have any idea if I did kill a bulk of my mental potential or if it's just an effect of stress and I will be able to think freely again? I'm just really looking for honest honest answers from professionals, any information at all will be so much appreciated. Thanks.

I am finishing up my associates degree at my local community college and getting ready to transfer to a state college but I still have NO idea, at all, what I want to do with my life. I have a nearly full time job at a fast food place and I know for a fact that I don't want to work there for the rest of my life. Does anyone know of a good "career finder" website that's free, helpful, and doesn't want all of my information? Or maybe have any suggestions for me by looking at the following information? Female. I have a burning passion for music (you will always find me at local record stores). I play guitar fairly well. I love to travel. I love photography. I'm a people person and very outgoing. I do very well with writing and social science classes, but am horrible with science and math. I am athletic. I am a leader, in fact a supervisor at my current job. I love history. I lean more towards liberalism. I am very relaxed and can work well under stressful situations. I also took a test on iPersonic and this is what it said after I answered a series of questions: Spontaneous Idealists like you are creative, lively and open-minded persons. You are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Your enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. You enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when you are around. However, you are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to your direct and sometimes critical nature. You are a keen and alert observer; you miss nothing which is going on around you. In extreme cases, you tend to be oversensitive and exaggeratedly alert and you are inwardly always ready to jump. Life for you is an exciting drama full of emotionality. However, you quickly become bored when things repeat themselves and too much detailed work and care is required. Your creativity, your imaginativeness and your originality become most noticeable when developing new projects and ideas - you then leave the meticulous implementation of the whole to others. On the whole, Spontaneous Idealists attach great value to their inner and outward independence and do not like accepting a subordinate role. You therefore have problems with hierarchies and authorities. As a Spontaneous Idealist you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a colorfully diverse group of people who interest and inspire you. Working in a “secluded room” is not your thing. Your sense for the motivation of others is almost eerie. You constantly observe that which happens around you and have no problems noticing all sorts of things simultaneously or communicating with several people at the same time. Your enthusiasm is contagious to others and that is why your colleagues and friends all appreciate you as an important member of your team. Your articulateness and your sensitive ear for nuances in conversations with others obviously play a role. For you, this team-oriented environment is very important because you need to receive positive feedback and recognition like other people need air to breathe. It would be practically impossible for you to contribute everything you need to maintain your high ideals, by yourself. Variety, challenges and fun are important ingredients of your area of responsibility. You appreciate receiving new stimulation, meeting new people, and continuously collecting unique experiences. However, too much routine, too much detail work and the necessity to stick with one project for a very long time is not your thing. Your strength are creative problem solutions, discovering new ways and opportunities, the conceptualization of new ideas on one hand, but not so much their concrete implementation on the other. Ideally, you have a staff of capable colleagues that takes over your concepts and runs with them.

I've been trying so hard to get a job. I live in a rural community with a lot of highschoolers and very few job opportunities, so I have to drive to town to find anywhere that will hire new employees. I'd like to have a job at the local LUSH or Fruits & Passion (which are sort of like Bath & Body works for anyone who doesn't know). I was wondering, for one, will a store like that even consider hiring a student to be a sales associate, or do they look for full-time, experienced workers? Is there anything I can say to them that would change their mind? I'm confident I'd be an excellent employee. I want to know what kind of knowledge they would expect me to have before hiring me, so that I can prove to them that I'm capable of the job, despite my lack of experience. Even if not, and I end up working at a local movie theater or gift shop or Starbucks or wherever-the-hell, What does an employer look for in a high school student? How can I make sure my resume actually gets looked at and I get an interview, and my file isn't just lost in the bottom of someone's desk? I worked at a Chinese food restaurant briefly in early 2011, but they (being terrible business owners) had to let me go because they had hired too many employees at once. Not to mention they were paying me under the table. :/ So I feel like it's probably not a good idea to put that on my resume. It's the only experience I have, though.

Ok, my brothers wife has a very hard time falling pregnant for medical reasons, and might not actually be able to become pregnant. They really want a baby, and one morning the idea of surrogacy popped into my head. Ive always wanted to experience pregnancy, and when I told my mother I was going to offer them myself as a surrogate she was shocked and very pleased, saying "that would be the best gift you could ever give them, and to offer makes you a very wonderful soul." when I told my other brother about my idea, he was understandably shocked and freaked out lol but he said it makes me an honorable woman, but he said I should also experience it for myself. My brother and his wife, the ones I want to offer my womb for, are desperate, but we all think my sister in law would view my offer as a smug kick in the teeth, and her husband my brother would freak out. I know for a fact that in-vitro insemination is not incest, because it's their bun and my oven so to speak. How should I go about touching thus very delicate subject with them? Would it be better if it's someone they trust over a complete stranger? Is it weird me as his sister is the one offering? I'm 19, healthy and my personality won't allow anything to go wrong, I really want to do this for them, but I don't know how they will take it, does anyone have advice?

Hey! Recently a lot of people, including my family, have started accusing me of being anti-social. I have been a quiet person all my life. Never really liked talking too much. Just kept myself to the necessities. It's not like I don't blend with people, more like I don't want to blend with them. I don't see any use of talking about the latest gadgets, movies, or gossiping like my class mates do. I don't like talking to the nerds about serious equations or complexities of nature. I like sitting alone, in one corner of the room and observe the whole class. I love it. Just myself and my old desk. It gives me a sense of independence if you may say so. Even at home. When my brothers, sisters, elder's talk. I like listening. I love being alone in my room -playing games, reading, studying, completing assignments etc etc. Many people think I am depressing, but it's what I like doing. But don't mistake me for not being an outdoor person. I LOVE the outdoors as much as I love staying indoors. I love going to new places, experiencing new things, exploring new lands - but here comes the problem. I love it when I do it alone. With family or school, It gets fucked up. Seriously. I hate going to parties as well. I don't fancy the idea of spending on dressing, gifts, nor do I consider going somewhere special to just dance. If I want to dance, I can do it in my hall. Why should I spend some amount to go to a dark, crampt place and dance there. All I am trying to put through is the fact that I don't like being around people. I don't enjoy it. But it's gotten to a point where people get irritated with me and I get irritated with them. What do you think? Why can't I be different with people still accepting me? Should I change?

Okay, so I'd been writing a story and posting it on Inkpop, but I kept getting from a lot of people that it was too confusing. So I'm trying to decide whether it was just my writing that needed better explaining, or whether it was the idea itself that was complicated, and I should just simplify things down. Tell me your opinion, please? The story's called Inked. A long time ago, there was a world called Lux. Its queen, Imperia, ruled Lux and Earth. Back then, people were gifted with all sort of abilities such as shapeshifting, spell-casting, etc., that they could develop to any level. However, Imperia found that people's emotions led them to all sorts of wars. Heartbroken by all the destruction, she separated Lux and Earth, allowing Earth to only have people with emotions, and Lux to only have people with abilities. In the process of separating emotions and abilities, she found she couldn't completely take away emotions, so she just suppressed them indefinitely. After all this was done, she disappeared, leaving nothing but a book telling of the past and the hidden paths between Lux and Earth. Fast-forward until a couple hundred years ago, and Lux is a peaceful world. The current king of Lux, Nicolae, orders one of the advisers to his court, Greyson, to explore the uncharted lands of Lux. Greyson does so, and in the process, finds the book of Imperia that had been locked away for so many years. He finds a path to Earth, escapes there, and is overwhelmed by the feelings that he experiences there. He falls in love with a girl, Xana, and vows to stay on Earth--until Nicolae's men find them and order them back. So Greyson and Xana come to Lux, where they find out that Xana has the ability of Touch--an ability that allows her to touch anyone on Lux and release all their emotions that had been suppressed. Unfortunately, with this ability, she unknowingly causes King Nicolae to become infatuated with her. He takes her away from Greyson by force, making her his slave (also not aware that she's human) and, well, she soon bears a child. Panicking, King Nicolae lies to everyone, including Greyson, telling them that Xana's child is a child of a maid. Soon after this, Xana reveals that she is human, and King Nicolae, furious, has her executed--but not before she requests that her daughter be named Liora, after her mother. King Nicolae denies her request, and after her death, Greyson swears revenge. Meanwhile, a noble of the king's court, Theron, looks over the book that Greyson had brought back. Theron finds that same path to Earth and when he finds himself on Earth, he experiences all the wrong emotions--greed, pride, envy, and so on. He comes back to Lux demanding the throne, and when denied it, he breaks away from the king's court and swears he'll come back. He steals the book, and as he's forming a rebellion, he discovers a ritual described in the book's pages--the Ink rituals. In the Ink rituals, a person sacrifices his own blood and "Inks" himself on someone else. By doing this, he transfers his soul to the other person. The person, or Ink bearer, will forever carry the Inker's soul, with a permanent mark on their face as a symbol of the ritual. His children and their children will also carry this same mark, continuing down through the generations until their line ends. Theron, obsessed with the idea of living forever, immediately tries to Ink himself on someone. But he doesn't want to sacrifice his own blood, so he kills his own son and mixes only a few drops of his blood in to act as a substitute. After realizing it works, Theron presents this opportunity to many of the people of Lux, and to further convince them, he brings them to Earth. A majority of them experience the same feelings as he did, and they join his rebellion. Years later, the rebels have started to call themselves the Purities, making King Nicolae grow more and more fearful in his fight to protect his throne. He comes up with a plan to have his daughter (Sora) Ink herself--the traditional way--seeing as she is one of the most gifted with her abilities on Lux. He sets up an arranged marriage with her and a son of another noble. Unwilling to marry, Sora tries to run off with a boy--unaware that he is actually the other son of Theron. He kills Sora, but as she's dying she Inks herself on a maid: the daughter of Xana, Juliet. Soon after, Theron's forces take over Lux, Nicolae is murdered, and the Purities come to power. Juliet escapes with Sora's ex-fiance to Earth, and she eventually has a child, thus continuing the line. Fast-forward again to present time. The situation remains the same; the Purities still hold power on Lux, people on Earth are still ignorant of the other world, and a small group of rebels called the Seraphs are gaining power to bring down the Purities before they can take over Earth. Unaware of all that is going on, a child is raised on Eart Sorry, Yahoo cut me off again-- "Unaware of all that is going on, a child is raised on Earth. Her name is Liora." And that's where the actual story begins. Sorry if some of it doesn't make sense. That's just the basic gist of the story.

Her birthday is January 3rd and I have no idea what to get her. I'm already getting her flowers, but what else? I got her a diamond pendent necklace for Christmas so I was thinking of something more personal/experience? My budget's about $150. I was thinking of concert tickets but that doesn't feel very...personal, though it is an experience. Any ideas? Maybe a gift bag of small things? I'm really in a pickle here, haha. btw, we're both juniors in college.

i was at some kindergarten playschool (no idea) and then i saw my previous math teacher. She didn't really like me so we said brief hellos and went our way. But then i came across this notebook with a really cute pattern on it, and at the back it said "writing is sacred art that everyone must learn to, those who can write must write or they will be punished, severely punished for not using the gift bestowed upon them ' or something like that. and i'm sorta a writer, i write short stories. ANYWAY, so naturally i got curious, i opened it and i began writing a story which i cant remember, and then i realised im in a classroom, and my math teacher was teaching astronomy? hahah anyway i was writing and then she came up to me and she said, 'its good you're writing, this is very useful you know? there are other stories that some childern wrote but its not finished.' i flipped the book and there were stories written in a scraggly child-like handwriting. And they were unfinished. And somehow there were so many attempted stories that not a single one was finished and the book was WAY thicker than it seemed. And so i picked up a pencil, and i left, determined to finish every story in there, then complete mine. So after i left, i was in this tram or trolley thing, like those train things in the zoo. I'm not too sure. maybe it was a bus. Anyway, i was writing and this girl sat next to me, and she was HOT. I didn't recongnise her. Maybe i dont remember but she had black wavy hair and fair skin, dark blue eyes and she was wearing a black dress with pink frills or something like that. something like the one avril lavigne wore in her my happy ending music video, but longer and less poofy. And she said "hey, whatcha workin on?" And we talked and she flirted, i made her laugh, she was really interesting but i cant remember our conversation at all. But what i do remember was that we were talking about the book or something and she said "you could write so many things inside it.. like..." and we were like talking at the same time, and i said "Stories, experiences, people..." And she was at the same time saying, "relationships, your boyfriend..." And just after she said 'your boyfriend', i said, "your number" And she sorta got the hint i wanted her number. And she gave me this really cute flirty look and she said, "you don't have a boyfriend?" And i said no, and she gave me her number and i asked her out like, er... "do you wanna get coffee sometime?" And she was like sure. then she pecked my cheek and i woke up. Second time this week. But the last one was olivia wilde, and no book, and it was on a bus, and kinda similar. we were flirting i guess. What does this mean? I'm Bi and all, and this is sorta freaky. And yes, I'm single. help??

I think people made up the idea of Heaven so that they could lie to themselves that they'd live forever. And since we are a social creature, I remember that the idea of Heaven is the place where you friends and family are, so we see how our evolutionary and human ideas even reach something impossible. Heaven is a place where our loved ones are. That's just a lie to keep our emotions in control! The humans who came up with the idea of an eternal place were greedy for themselves, and they probably thought it was noble and grand idea that would attract people to follow them. Heaven is on Earth, because it is our home and the gift that was given to us from God. Why should we die and leave it to go to somewhere foreign? What about our bodies and allowing them to rest in the Earth, the place where we grew up with those memories and happy experiences? It is greedy in that we follow the religion to save our souls. It is for that purpose only, and some may say: I do it because I want to or to honor him, but we are just praying and flattering God with gifts and spiritual prayers so that we can be saved.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ AND THINK SERIOUSLY: " The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."- Albert Einstein Has anyone ever encountered these experiences in which there is this little voice that tells you to go in a certain direction even though nobody else is? I certainly have and whenever I don't listen to my intuition I end up screwed.For those deep thinkers out there, is there anyone in here that takes the idea of causality seriously enough? The idea that everything is already predetermined by a force other than yourself. Einstein, Spinoza and other deep thinkers certainly did. Therefore, I truly think that whenever you think of these things deep enough you realize(at least with my personal encounters with nature) that this mysterious force, whether you call it nature, casuality, God or just life itself is the source of all intuition and creative insight. 'Explore thyself' as Thoreau once stated and carpe diem (seize the say to the fullest) since death is already for sure. Thus, I conclude (at least in my humble opinion) that whenever you listen to you own intuition you are listening to casuality and thus to you own self...to the true you that existed before you became 'someone"( if you know what I mean) and before your genius of childhood grew up into a boring adult. Having said all of this, I truly think that life (at least real life) is not meant to be a struggle after all. That 'it is not up to us" as Bjork (famous Icelandic singer) once stated in one of her songs and that all we do 'people' is get on the way of real life. All we do is prevent real life from flourishing. That perhaps each one of us should just listen to our own intuition, to our own selves and that by living to the fullest (carpe diem) and having blind trust in nature (or this mysterious force called casuality) we are actually letting life speak. "If you leave it alone it might just happen. It's not up to you, it never really was". -Bjork. It is not meant to be a struggle, it never really was. Plus, when you think this deep and take the time to stand rapt in awe at the beauty of nature then you realize that why should you even bother fighting with a beautiful and breathtaking force that you are part of anyway. It's all about unity and cherishing the imagination for reality, and for life... for REAL LIFE (that some of us may call 'death...think about that one, grasshopper:)). AND , have you ever wondered, what could happen if everyone stopped working and stopped doing what is 'expected' and that they could just get out of the way so true life could flourish and speak for itself? "Unthinkable surprises about to happen, but what they are, it's not up to you "- Bjork (once more). There are certainly times in which you just have to be selfish and self-sufficient, do your own thing and listen to your own intuition regardless of the opinion of others for this magic to take place. I would LOVE to hear comments, deeps thoughts or INTUITIVE STORIES . Let the intuition, life and magic come alive in here and speak for itself PLEASE and Thank YOU! Further reference, interesting links and quotes" "Life is what happens when you are too busy making other plans" - John Lennon It's not up to you (song from Bjork) Undo (Song from Bjork) Vespertine Documentary and Inside of Bjork (Bjork on being selfish, self-sufficient and doing what YOU want to do, listening to intuition) "If you leave it alone it might just happen, anyway. It's not up to you "- Bjork "All of us cosmic dust and humans dance to this mysterious force"- Einstein on free will and the presence of casuality, the presense of God (if you will). "What do YOU care what other people think" -Richard Feynman "That government is best which governs the least".- Emerson on letting life speak for itself and that we should just step back and let it take over. http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html (Ken Robinson on life is organic .... just establish the right conditions in which life can grow for itself) LASTLY, "I just want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details".-Einstein on just wanting to know this mysterious force and nothing more.

This may look like it's in the wrong section, but after reading my dilemma, you can see why I'm here. It's the closest I could get. (I saw there was a Christmas section, but I want to talk to people who I know have some experience with the sort of thing I'm going to talk about. I believe I can get better suggestions here.) Anyway- So, my boyfriend presented me with a very unique and thoughtful gift on Christmas Eve. He made an unpublished website for me. I'm not sure if that gets the point across or not, so. It was just these files he dumped onto my computer, they open in Chrome. Boom, an unpublished website that you need files on your computer for to see. Hopefully that was in depth enough. Moving on. I loved this gift, as it incorporated cute things involving us and things he knew I would like. It was a great idea. But this left me in a state of worry, because now that I know how far he's going to please me on a holiday such as Christmas, I must find a way to at least try to live up to what he's done for me. So, I guess my question is... What in the world do I do? He learned some HTML, CSS, and Javascript combined with a good amount of prior knowledge of Photoshop to knock me out of my seat. He's intelligent and committed, I've never doubted that. But now I see to what extent, and I have to come up with something at least semi-impressive for our 2012 Christmas. I know it's extremely early to ask, but I figured if I'm going to need to impress someone as knowledgeable as him, I have to start a whole year ahead in order to get to a point where I MIGHT be able to make something worth his time. With all that said, I need suggestions. What's out there that I can learn to make something special for him? Keep in mind I'm not the brightest, nor am I very confident. But I'm willing to try a lot, just because of my desperation. Any help is much appreciated. Before learning of what he was going to do for me, I was thinking of creative things I could make by hand instead of on the computer. I came up with some things that were cute enough, I suppose. Although we were just discussing this, and he said he would appreciate something dealing with the computer more, because that's what he's interested in. (Quote: "...if you spent a year learning a skill and implementing it into something that I could actually use, I'd be pretty happy.") I'm open to other types of ideas. Anything that anyone can throw out there, really. But this seems to be ideal.

Why are you like that? If I recycle, it is simply because I can use that money for something else. I am not trying to impress anyone and I certainly would not want a stingy man, or frugal man, or or stingy person. That is a pretty stupid statement, it is the undertaker who is after m e now and I hate them. I saved a lot of money once, to escape, to never be homeless again, at the mercy of others, in the street in those horrible shelters with strangers, no privacy. It was a horrible experience. I was lulled into a false sense of security, bought a home, car with dp from hard earned savings which cost me my teeth, years off my life, injured my body..so I could retire in comfort...have some equityin and money from sale of my home if I ever moved, or when I did. I scrimped, saved, at the expense of my health, years off my lfie, for a big fat nothing. I saved that money from my hard earned, hard earned pay, years of scrimping, eating crud . Then when I got a little more money, I ate a healthy diet, but the damage was done. They, the enemies, gave me back the4 lean years condensed, packed down, brimming over, years of revenge. I wanted to be retired or semi retired in comfort by age of 62, able to do what I wanted, work when I wanted, be comfortable. They never mentioned race. I never mentioned race. Race became a big issue when they needed an excuse, reason, that I was kept from doing anything I wanted to do. It was the times, the way it was. It was not. It was a factor, but that is not the reason they did what they did to me. I am thrifty one place to have money for something else. I am female. It is hard enough without all this. I am hated by men here, like no where else on earth, and women. So, I do not want to be at their mercy. They seem to be offended...I said they had not had my experiences. They did not, cannot. No two people experience the same things the same ways. I am caring less and less. Alone for 25 years and they are still going on as if I am married to the person I was married to 25 years ago. We were not stingy, we just did not have a lot of money. Ihad to recycle, refinish, can, freeze, make gifts. Some I liked to do. I have no idea why this is being done to me but the man in the courtroom in the lethal deadly tone said under his breath 'THEY lured you up here. " Emphasis,,,,,"theeeeyyyyy". Frightening. It was due to lies on me. I am not masochistic. They are sadistic here, and all for the men. I moved to my death, unwillingly, unwittingly. They are his friends who gave me back the lean mean hardship, condensed. The ones who said they had a hard time while I had it made, and got revenge because I did not tell them things so they could sue after I was forced to leave my job. I wa snot fired. I preferred to be home with my children. So, they are killing me now, for money, sucking up to the minority groups, making everyone angry at me so no one will care at all when I die, and the pie can be divided , again. Repeat. Number two. Always after the second time. I am not gay or bisexual.I don't know who THEY is, or waht they is, but it was prospect of being close to my daughter, having family I loved near, and work. I scoop out the last lotion, last mayo, etc., and recycle things to have that little bit of money. I run my car very little.

Before Xmas, my parents asked me what I would like for a gift. Since I did not want them to spend much money, I simply asked for a Wii game, knowing that they are cheap, and that perhaps the family might get some enjoyment from it. However we do not own a Wii per se, the one in our house belongs to my nephew, which he deserted and left at our house two years ago since he has obtained a variety of newer computers and gaming consoles since then. So on Xmas day, I unwrap the game, which actually looked quite expensive because it was a limited edition one that came with a special controller. At that point, as I thank my parents and give them hugs, my nephew starts screaming that the Wii is his and demands that he takes it home with him. I refuse to comment and simply leave the room so that his parents can make the decision. It later transpired that they were to take the Wii home. The next morning, after I had agreed that my parents would take the game back (since we now have no use for it at all), my parents go shopping together. They come home only to tell me they have a surprise for me, and I find that they have brought me a brand new Wii. I told them that I am very grateful but under no circumstances are they to spend so much money on me at the whim of a 9 year old. I tell them that it is unnecessary and to take it all back, the whole price came to at least £200 and that is unacceptable. I feel absolutely awful for telling them to do this but at the same time I feel quite a lot of disgust at the way my nephew behaved. This is not the first time that he has done something like this, he ruined my birthday this year when he started screaming that he was bored and demanded everyone play a game with him when the rest of the family were happily chatting. He has become completely disrespectful and I refuse to buy him presents any more because the last one I brought for him, at Xmas two years ago, he opened and threw on the floor immediately because it was 'boring'. Perhaps if he had looked at that atlas, today he might know where Germany is... A part of me can't help but feel bad for disliking a child like this, particularly one that is a member of my family, however I just do not know what to think about it. I Cannot readily discuss this with family as that would just sound awful, and I'm not sure if discussing with friends would be a good idea either. Any help or similar experiences would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Kay, long story short - I got absolutely nothing for christmas and I don't want my best friend to ever experience this. So next year I want to give him and some of my friends some cool gifts (when I get a job after I graduate). He's not into football..But I would Still like to get him a jersey since his fam is. So, I was looking up jerseys on NFL shop, but there's So many Redskins jerseys and I have No idea who's popular and who's good in the team. You see, I'm a Saints fan, and it's much easier for me to find a good jersey for them than looking for a Redskins jersey... But really, what player jersey should I get for him? Like, who's there quarterback..or something..? Lol...!

My boyfriend is turning 23, and since I'll be overseas on his birthday, I'm going to leave him a box of goodies. So far for this box, I've got him experience vouchers to drive a Formula Ford car and V8 Super Car (10 laps each), chocolate, and of course a card (home-made). However I'm a bit stuck with what else to put! Because the experience vouchers are the bulk of the present, I would like something small, but sweet/sentimental/cute/funny (In the past, I've gifted him with a personalised keyring, t-shirts, homemade cookies, so preferably steer clear of those ideas). Although he'll be more than happy with the vouchers and the chocolate, I still want to fill up the box. Any ideas? Thanks! :)

My mother wants to replace my dad's car stereo because the cd player is broke. (christmas gift) My idea was to get a used one from a used parts place and just replace it with the same model. We found a good deal on the one she wants. My question is would this be just plug and play? Or would it require a new harness or anything? I have a little experience tinkering around with stereo systems. Not enough to put a new wire harness in. But I can get to it and unplug it and hook up a new one with the same connections. I know this may sound like a question with an obvious answer but I just want to double check.

When asked she said to get her a gift voucher (which is what she always says). It's impersonal, boring and not that exciting. The other answer I got was a new iPhone cover she liked, I let my little brother get her that because he doesn't have a job and can't afford much. We got her a laptop, iPhone 4 and camera for her birthday in November so now I have no clue what to get her for Christmas! I was thinking a Hot air balloon ride but I got my brother and dad "experience" gifts as well. Anyone have any better ideas? She has no hobbies, she doesn't wear perfume or drink wine, the last massage package we got her she didn't use and now I'm at a loss! WHAT DO I GET HER? Please help :)

I met a guy a little over six months ago-- he's a close friend's brother. We hit it off really well right off the bat, though it was a shockingly un-awkward threesome for quite some time. It's been roughly two years since my last attempt at a serious relationship, and he is everything I've been looking for-- intelligent, amazing sense of humor, shared experiences, generous, strong, and hard-working. We started dating fairly quickly, following a group weekend camping trip, and connected very well physically, though I have yet to sleep with him. I wasn't looking for a serious relationship, but when he asked, I found myself reconsidering. We were already dating exclusively, though it went unsaid. So I said yes. I knew right off the bat that he had some trust issues-- his last (and really only) serious girlfriend did some unspeakable things. I've had a fair amount of similar experiences, so I understood that and was willing to accept it without any real trouble. He and I have gotten close quickly; we spend a lot of our time together, and are taking extra care to address potential issues early and try to get to know each other as well as possible. Being very cautious with each other, really, to prevent anything horrible. Recently, however, he broached a topic that I was not ready for. "If you're planning to wait and progress the relationship, I wouldn't hold my breath", he said. He went on to say that love was not something he wanted to have as part of his life-- he may feel it, but he'll never say it. Every time since that I've tried to bring it up, he's reacted with extreme anger. I went so low as to ask his sister, and she was baffled, as well. Evidently, he's much more ardent when talking ABOUT me than talking TO me, though the 'L' word hasn't (and shouldn't really have) come up yet. It's only been a few months-- I'm not in love with him, though I care very much about him. The words weren't going to be an issue for a long time. But this vehement denial gave me pause. I entered the relationship fully prepared for what he called "a controlled freefall". I knew that, given time, I would fall in love with him. Nothing yet has made me think or feel differently, before this. The words will be very, very important to me when I reach that point. Loving him is, in my opinion, the greatest gift I can offer him. And I'm afraid it will be received with revulsion. What do you think it is? Is he afraid because he's been burned before? Am I a less-than-love relationship? Is he incapable of love? More important than all of these, is there anything I can do? I'm willing and happy enough to stick this out regardless of the resolution of this issue-- he's worth that-- but I can't help being bothered by it. Why would he decide going into it that he's never going to love me? I want to fix this, or help it. It's going to cause me a lot of pain in the future, and it may eventually end the relationship. Even if it helps him love someone after me, I hate the idea of this issue staying with him. Please-- any ideas or suggestions.

This holiday season, I'm low on money. So I'm trying to be frugal, but practical at the gifts. My mother is IN LOVE with all things Disney. I have found my penny presses that I got bought while there, and noticed the lovely copper color. Now, I'm painting a military tribute for my father...and when it comes to things art related like painting, drawing, jewelry making, etc...I'm damn good lol. I've sold jewelry and even had requests for paintings. I was thinking about taking these pressed pennies and using them to making a bracelet with some colored beads. I've cleaned the pennies to get a brilliant shine, and I have many beads to accent to copper color. Would this be a good idea for a gift? I certainly think so, but I'd love a second opinion. Now, keep in mind, I have ALL the tools I need, the education, and experience to make this. I'm not one of those people who do a crappy job and think it's acceptable. So what do you think?

Well I just had my first kiss with my gf of a month We were laughing and all that so we went for a walk in the park. She fell down and hurt her ankle :(. so I picked her up and carried her back to the bench.she was crying so I let her rest her head on my shoulder and held her. I cheered her up with a kiss. Anyways I was wondering, this is my 3rd gf ive kissed. But she is an amazing kisser, and a whole lot better than my others, even when she's sad. I want to get her something to cheer her up bc of her twisted ankle. Ideas? And also has this ever happened to u,and what was your best kiss like? I just found out it's a decent ankle sprain and she needs a boot and crutches for a few days. So... yeah and were 16 btw. I want to get her something nice that will remind her what I'll do for her.

If you were a never married successful and sexy 42 y/o guy - would you like if your gf paid for a night at the Drake Hotel in Chicago with dinner and Champagne (he loves champagne for some reason) and bought you nice sunglasses (because he keeps losing his) and a new hat (he really likes wearing hats to keep his head warm).? He likes to tell people what he wants for Christmas, but I like to surprise people. So instead of giving him a bunch of shirts and things he may not want or need, I thought I'd get him "an experience he won't forget". Is that a good gift idea?

I'm a travel agent and was having a debate with the two other people I work with. Occasionally the in-laws will come into my office and want to set up a honeymoon for their child and soon-to-be spouse as a wedding gift. But then some of the in-laws want to go along on the cruise with the newly married couple. A few of the mother-in-laws even wanted to be on the same floor with rooms right next to each other. Ok, I obviously can't say this to the customers, and also because I'm supposed to be selling vacations. But I think this is a bit awkward. I couldn't imagine that the newly married couple wants their in-laws anywhere around them during their honeymoon. This is speculation, but I would guess the newlyweds feel they don't have a say/don't want to offend the in-laws since they're being generous enough to pay for the honeymoon. One of my co-workers agrees with me but has to go along with it as well. We're not here to talk customers out of spending money! But the other co-worker thinks this is a great idea to have the entire family go along on the honeymoon. She has even hinted that the two of us are being ungrateful. From personal experience, I get along great with my own parents and in-laws. But weddings tend to be rather stressful. To be honest, after the wedding we just wanted to get away and I didn't want to be anywhere near my family (particularly mom and mother-in-law). Once we got back I was no longer stressed out and was glad to be around family again. What do you think?

Classic problem - I need something original to get for my boyfriend for his birthday/Christmas. He's always wanted to go skydiving, so that was my first thought. However, most skydiving experiences around here (Michigan) cost at least $200, and money is tight. Anyone know of something exciting I could get for under/around $100? I'm out of good ideas. Thanks! Nothing too "standard," please - obviously, I'm looking for something more than just a video game or cologne.

With Uranus ending its retrograde motion I wonder if something like this could have happened to your Sun sign? I would love to hear about your experiences. Aries: You may have lost your favorite hat and you bought a strange new hat, which you are still not comfortable with; your relationships were little bit like hide and seek game; you discovered freedom and self-discovery; you discovered the most original perfume and unusual cosmetics for your face. Taurus: You danced funny, your feet were moving a lot more, Brazilian style; colors in dreams become more vivid; you got drunk on unknown blends of alcohol; your taste in movies and perfumes suddenly took a new turn; you said occasionally “no” and meant “yes”; you discovered uniqueness of your personality by serving selflessly others. Gemini: You started sympathizing more with the New Age; you started to understand the kundalini yoga; you read more news and give more feedback; you had strange fantasies involving your friends; you vaporized your past in the eye of an electrified future; environmentally friendly products attracted more of your attention. Cancer: Your boss lost touch with reality, and you are not sure if its good or bad; the strangest ideas about your alternative careers visited your brain; you asked yourself: “Who is really my father?”; your knees started to have a life on their own; you started to believe that you can play a social role. Leo: Your hips acted strange; your teacher becomes gay; you reacted almost aggressively on someone telling lies; you become interested in space science and astrology; you ended up having a contact with a person from a country which you didn’t know existed. Virgo: There was a strange electricity in your sexuality; you started working on ending the money-based world; your business became more unpredictable; strange curiosity about unusual ways of the between-worlds; you finally started to understand what a “sexy perfume” is. Libra: You looked at your partner and ask “Who are you?”; your partner developed a strange hobby; your partner disappeared inexplicably for a while; you couldn’t drink as much; you negotiated more than a compromise; the perfumes that you received as gifts made no sense at first. Scorpio: You just didn’t know how to approach health issues; you almost had an accident at a gym, maybe even involving a crush on someone; you unintentionally hurt your proud coworker; you start keeping up with the cutting edge nutritional supplements; you became intolerant of certain foods and obsessed with “organic”. Sagittarius: You were dealing with how much it hurts when you fall in love; when flirting, you couldn’t finish sentences; children “tortured” you more than usual; a power surge hit you with new creative ideas; you felt drawn to weird new technology; you learned to “manipulate” your heart energy. Capricorn: You suddenly and expectedly moved to another location; your mom tried to slap you; your stomach became more selective; you didn’t care if you belong or not; you dragged strange pieces of furniture into your house. Aquarius: Your neighborhood becomes somehow more exiting; you started a blog or a site for environmental networking and became sympathetic with the Occupy movement; you learned to learn again; your lungs started consuming air in a strange way; you rediscovered your hands and fingers; your memory improved; your computer almost stole your brain; your brother or sister hit you with elbow; lightning hit your neighborhood. Pisces: You started eating stuff you never heard of before, like seaweeds and algae; through ideas for unusual investments, you befriended money; your speaking voice became shriller; you started a screaming club next to the railroad tracks; a swan or a goose stole your valet. http://www.astroknowlogy.com/questions/what-are-the-effects-of-this-current-retrograde-uranus

I know this will sound so stupid but its driving me mad so a few suggestions from the dependable yahoo users should hopefully help me decide. Ok well my girlfriend and I have always liked comedy but had never been to a comedy show, something we both wanted to do together. So for my birthday my girlfriend bought us 2 tickets to a stand up show in a town close to us and booked a hotel near the venue to spend the night afterwards. I was excited to say the least and thought this was a really great gift. The show was a few months after my birthday so i had alot of time to look forward to this and the closer the time got the more excited i got. However, about a week before we were due to go we had a major row over something so stupid, i was no angel in the situation but she definatley over reacted and decided she wanted to split up. I couldnt believe what i was hearing after 9 years together she wanted to end it over something so insignificant. I thought it best to stay out of her way for a few days to let her cool down, during which time she informed me that i wouldnt be going to the comedy show with her as she had offered my ticket to her friend and they were going together. I was pissed!!!!!!!!!! So off she went with her friend and left me at home. She returned the next day looking pretty worse for wear which added insult to injury to me because now i knew she wasnt thinking about us and our relationship, she was just out having a great time, the great time that i was supposed to be having. A few days passed and we started talking again and after some serious conversations we decided that getting back together would be best for both of us because we are still very much in love. I noticed though that she wasnt herself and was being very weird with me, not letting me get close to her and i smelt a rat right away, i quizzed her about what was going on and she addmitted to me that she had met a guy at the hotel after the comedy show and ended up spending the night in his room doing, well you know what. Well as if my heart wasnt broken enough now it was thoroughly crushed. It took some time to get past this in my head but i thought for the sake of the relationship i had to try. I dont blame her for sleeping with the other guy but i am angry with her that she stole my birthday gift away from me for no real reason especially knowing how much i was looking forward to it, and how everything then happened after that. Now everytime i see the comedian on tv that we were supposed to see or even hear his name i get knots in my stomach because i know she is bound to be thinking about that night. I'm just so angry that she has a memory of her first comedy show (that i should have been at) that will haunt me. She has tried to make amends and has offered to buy some tickets to another show at some point but the whole idea just reminds me of what she did the first time. I know this sounds so childish of me an i kinda feel embarrassed even posting this but thats just how my mind works im afraid. I had said to her that i dont think i could go to a show with her unless i had been to one without her so that i would have a more pleasant memory of my first comedy experience as opposed to going with her and knowing that she has already done this before at my expense. she says it would be shitty of me to do that...EH HELLO!!!! shitty of me???? is she being serious. Well there is a comedy show coming up at the same venue soon and i am seriously considering going alone and also staying in the hotel that she stayed in simply because its a pretty lively place and she will be sitting at home knowing that theres every chance i could be up all night drinking with another woman. I dont intend to sleep with anyone else, thats not how i roll. she says we were split up when she slept with the other guy. I intend to be in a relationship with her when i go so would never dream of cheating. I guess what im asking is should i go ahead and go to the show on my own simply to make her feel as shit as she made me feel because she doesnt seem to think what she done was wrong but i just cant forgive her for it and want to show her how much it hurt me. I actually do love her so much and want to spend my life with her but i just cant shake this at all. Sorry for the long story im just venting some left over frustration here......ah i feel better already

I'm finishing up my student teaching and have a male cooperating teacher, but have no idea what to get him. His into farming and I was thinking a gift car from a local farming tools store, but i don't know how much is appropriate neither do I have a lot to spare since I haven't been working. I've had a great experience and want it to be meaningful and that really shows my appreciation, but I have to keep my budget in mind because there is still other things I have to get like the students (42), the teachers lounge, his partner teacher and the principal! Any ideas for all or any of those will help.

What do you think about this good bye/ invitation? Jennifer, I hope this letter finds you well in this coming holiday season. Let you enjoy the time with family the memories you make, and will cherish in old age. I asked you to open this gift in private for myself as everyone I’m associated with me perceives me as “Strong and Silent”, and I would like to continue this trend. I wrote this to you because I have seen many friendships die, paths never conveniently cross anymore and people stop making an effort to see each other as they go back to their busy life. I never got the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with you away from the eyes of our peers. I don’t know what you possess that is so captivating, that makes me want to see you, to converse with you about the most nil of subjects, just to be in your company is enough. I extended my hand to you many times, although in a shy and awkward way about it. I never meant to make you feel uneasy. It’s odd the people you think the most highly of, you never act as yourself. I guess it’s fear, the idea someone is critiquing your every motion so you abandon your identity, what a fool. I find myself up at night thinking about you, and you flourish in my dreams, how are you, what could she be doing, I wish I was there to share the moment. I long to see you. I love the relationships you have with your sisters and your niece. Family. Enjoy the simple things in life. I love the feather in your hair, the glimmer in your eye, those little red mittens you hold with content. I think the thing I enjoyed most is your ambition to claim what you want. Whether it was seeking an answer to a question, changing to a different program or the alteration of a job situation. You know what you want, and nothing’s about to get in your way. I wish I was as strong as you perhaps this is why I’m writing this although it’s rare for me to know what exactly what it is that I want. I want your camaraderie. I don’t want you to feel as though you’re obligated to make a motion, but only to be your self in the most perfect way. Live with no regrets, as though today was your last day. Sorry for the cliché, but when people speak for the most part they have a motive or a lesson in everything they say, it’s just a matter of perception. Know this: I will always have my hand extended to you. Whether it’s the smallest of favors, or it be in your darkest hour, let it be your highest point. I would take pleasure in helping you. I write this tell you this because I believe your worth it. I promise I am worthy of your time, give me the chance I am the one who can walk that mile until the end starts. I don’t want you to have a second thought about asking for something, or telling me how you feel. I will likely wrestle with myself waiting for that reply that will never come. I wish nothing but the best for you. May our paths cross again I wasn’t sure what to get you I hope you enjoy the gift it should serve you well as someone who is always cold. Lol. Let it be a symbol. Thank you for the touch you have had on me, no matter how small, all experiences make us who we are. As we continue down the road with our load heavy or light it’s sure nice to have some help from time to time. 21 hours ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details This is a letter to a girl I'm more than fond of in college and i don;t want to let her go, This is the letter i plan to give her enclosed in a box with a cashmere blanket. What's your opinion especially women, is this to weird/creepy or can you tell it comes from the heart. If possible can i ask what action you would be moved to make? * Names have been changed. 21 hours ago We are friends but not great friends. I can't believe I'm doing this, but i need answer. 7 hours ago If your a woman, can i ask: how would you react? 6 hours ago Here's another variation Jennifer, I hope this letter finds you well in this coming holiday season.

...And Is it a good idea to trade in books? I have so many textbooks my college bookstore isn't accepting anymore and wont give me any money for anymore for buyback. So it's been very hard to sell them. What's even more discouraging is that even right after the quarter the class ends, they change editions and are not buying mine back anymore. I have so many that are brand new editions but no value here. So that's why I really want to sell my books and am thinking to try on Amazon since I already used them before to buy stuff. ** Is the value worth it if I trade in my book or is it better to just sell them? Some the values are okay but others I looked at seem kind of low. But I'm afraid if I dont do them now and wait even more, then the value will just go lower like it has with many my books. **Also how do I know that if I trade in my books they will give me the Amazon gift card and if it's safe? I read the FAQs telling me it goes automatically but how I know for sure I got it even?? I'm woried I'll send my books all the way there, and they wont give me anything or the full amount. But I dont want to keep these books forever. Most the books dont even apply to my major so I dont know whats the point of just keeping stack of books. If anyone has done this before or have experience please let me know what you think of doing it and if it's worth to trade in at all...

I have a friend coming from overseas during the christmas period and i what to get him something. I met him while traveling and conversations have been limited since so I don't know a huge amount about his interests. i also don't want him to have to lug it back with him. i was thinking an experience gift card or a variety of local premium beers or something. any other ideas? he's staying a couple of weeks, and the beer he could drink on xmas day or whenever, that's more so he'd have something under the tree like the rest of us. i don't know about electricals or dvds cos of region codes and the need for adapters. plus i don;t really know what he's got.

My boyfriend likes cameras and he's really into filming and making his own videos, should I get him something for that? But I really don't know what he needs, his family is really wealthy and he has a lot of camera stuff so any suggestions for that would be great! Also I was thinking...cologne, pie ( he really likes pie), making a huge knot blanket for him, a phone charger for his car and cameras but I haven't been able to find one I like yet. Any other ideas? Nothing cheesy please no picture frames, or heart pillows- nothing with a heart! Also any websites you think would be useful would be great help - I've been looking at gift.com they have really great ideas too- Oh and we like to go to events together so maybe an experience gift like a helicopter tour of a city or trip somewhere? If you have an idea thanks for sharing- I don't care what it costs all ideas are worth hearing! thanks

It is one of my close friends sweet sixteenth birthday (actually it was in november) but the party is this Saturday. We're close friends, not lovers, so I want to get a gift that says "We're great friends, and I care, I'll be there for you," but not one that screams "I love you," if you know what I mean. She's pretty don't get me wrong, but I don't feel that way about her, but we are really close friends so again, a gift that says I care, but not one that says "I drool over you." :P Any ideas? Experience or stories would be greatly appreciated. Also how much would I expect to spend? Money is not an obstacle, I was thinking around $100, but I really have no limit on friendship

My husband and I got married 2 years ago, just after I graduated from college. After we got married, we moved, and I spent a year looking for a job. It was, and still is, hard times for everyone looking for a job. My husband makes enough for us to live off of, so after a year of frustrated searching, we decided to just go ahead and start the family and that I'd go back to work once the kids were all born. It was more my idea than his; I was afraid of how long finding a job would take...I was assuming it would take another year to find a job, then having to work for a year before I qualified for a maternity leave, then atleast a year to conceive and give birth...I didn't want wait until we were 30 to have our first kid! Anyway, conception and pregnancy were both pretty easy (lucky for me :o); baby #1 is 8 months and we're going to start trying for #2 soon. I love my son and find being a mom to be very fun and exciting (he's so close to walking!). But I often feel down because I don't feel like I'm getting out of the house and contributing enough. My husband and everyone tells me I'm doing great and being a SAHM is the toughest job ever, and I don't doubt them on that. But I just can't help but feel like I'm not contributing enough. My husband makes enough for us to get by on, as well as save up for some nice Christmas gifts. But we still live on a tight budget. It just urks me sometimes to know that if I were working, we'd be on easy street; we'd have enough money to take time off and go to California to see our family over the holidays, enough to pay down the debt (started from the wedding, and as soon as we pay some of it off, the car breaks down, then we pay that off, and he needs a colonoscopy, repeat) And on top of that, I have this constant worry that as time passes, I'm forgetting what I learned in college. I have 2 bachelor degrees in business and little experience, and whenever I glance at Craigslist (just for fun), I end up questioning whether or not I'd be capable for any of them. I feel like I'm losing my self-confidence. Is this part of a post-partum or something else? I did have a rather hard time with post-partum the first 3 months after my son was born and I saw a therapist for it. I honestly don't think the therapist helped all that much; she didn't have me see her more than every 6 weeks anyway.
