This is the first time I’ve been able to sit down and relax since 8:00 this morning.
Who wants to hear about my day?
Okay, so a few days ago, I posted an ad on Craigslist selling my portable DVD player and 3 Disney DVD’s. A woman named "Judith" replied. She said that she was interested, and that she would pay me 0.00 + the cost of express mail international shipping. Everything looked legit. Then I got an email from Paypal stating that I’d just recieved an instant payment from her. It stated that I had to ship the items, and then email proof of shipping, and that then my paypal acount would be credited. So, this morning, I went down to the post office, packaged up the item, paid the in shipping, and emailed the tracking number.
THEN I started reading things on the internet, and realized that I was being scammed. I was freaking out, because my boyfriend warned me of this, but I shurgged it off, and said it was okay because I got an email from paypal. I went and looked at the email from "paypal" again, and saw that the email address that it was sent from (small, in bracketts) was not paypal. It was something like shipping.proof@consultant.com or something like that. So, I sent the emai to Paypal, and they emailed me back and said that it was a phishing email. Right away, I called my Mom. She said to call the post office, and then go pick up the package. That’s exactly what I did. I got the package back, and my money back, and I sent this so called "judith Pope" a nasty email. It shoud have been a red flag when she said she wanted it shipped to NIGERIA. For some reason it wasn’t. My parents also lended me each so that I can buy healthy foods still.
I love my parents. I love Andree too, but I hate that he always has to be right, and most of the time is, so I think I’m going to keep my story for the day to myself. From now on, I only sell through ebay.
should i be worried about my identity being stolen? the only info they have is my first and last name, my address, and my email.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 1/2 years. The relationship didn’t start off bad. I moved in with him and his mom and things were going great. Then 4 months later his mom passed away from a pain pill addiction. Two days later my best friend was killed in a drunk driving accident. I tried so hard to be there for him. Through my own grief I tried to comfort him. I didn’t know what to do though. I’d never really dealt with death myself so I had no idea how to comfort someone going through the loss of their mother.
Anyways, things progressed and we moved in with his aunt and uncle and eventually things seemed to return to some state of betterness. Or what I thought was. Eventually I went to school and started trying to better myself and got us into a situation where we could get out on our own. Around that time his brother was in a horrible car accident (yes, alcohol was involved) and wound up killing his girlfriend in the process. So he went to jail.
Soon afterward my boyfriend turned 21 and started drinking himself. Although we’ve always drank to some degree (as I’ve been older and able to buy it) I’ve never felt a need to drink that much. So he didn’t either because I wouldn’t buy it often at all. But, as soon as he turned 21 all that went out the window. Which I don’t understand. His dad is also an alcoholic. That combined with everything else I would have though would have sent red flags up for him to stay away from it.
It didn’t. So for the last couple of years I’ve had to deal with drunken nights of him either getting sick or passing out on the counter.
Also within the last couple of years he has started lying to me. Mostly about insignificant things but also about his drinking. At one point I found out he was drinking a bottle of rum to himself everyday.
I’ve broken up with him numerous times mostly because I don’t want to be an enabler for him. I don’t want to give him a place to stay and I don’t want to make him think that it’s ok for him to act like that. He also takes cheap stabs at me every time we get into a heated argument. He says very hurtful things that usually have nothing to do with what we’re arguing about.
Beyond that he’s incredibly clingy, has no direction, and sounds a bit crazy a lot of times.
All that being said, I have every right not to want to be with him anymore. But, for some reason it is so difficult for me to get out. I can’t help but feeling guilty. Mostly for the fact that I’m all he has and I’m abandoning him. He makes sure to tell me that and he also plays the suicide card. Although he never will come right out and say it he insinuates it. I tell him that things will never get any better between us until he helps himself and he always says he will for me. So I tell him no, you need to do it for yourself whether we are together or not. It’s like there’s no reasoning with him though.
I definitely want to end this relationship. But I also want to convince him to try to help himself or at the very least have some hope for the future. He speaks so catastrophically though, like nothing will ever get any better and that the world is out to get him. He’s also very down on himself.
I realize I can’t make him do anything but maybe I just don’t want to feel guilty anymore. He just needs to realize that he can’t live his live for me and expect to be happy but he’s obsessive and some of the things he says scare me. I want to let him go and not feel guilty. I also start to miss him too and that’s hard to deal with. I can’t imagine never seeing him again. I realize that this has become a very codependent and unhealthy relationship. I sometimes wonder if it could ever somehow work out or if it’s best just to forget about it and if it’s is how do I do that.

So my mom had a bunch of children’s tickets for six flags. You have to be 13 and under to use them. Eventhough I’m 17, can I use them? How can they tell that you’re 13 and under? Can they refuse you entrance? Can you get in trouble?

I have 2 poster flags I got for Christmas 2 years ago. I had them hung up once but I had to take them down when I moved into my new room. My mom won’t let me hang them since my room is literally new as its an addition to the old part of the house. Any good ideas to keep from damaging the walls would is essentially what I’m asking, thanks

Me and mom are going to see George Strait and Reba McEntire. We’ll be near the very top (back). Any ideas/suggestions on making a banner?

I was thinking of drawing:
Texas (flag or state outline) (heart) George
(using two poster boards taped together or cloth. Markers and/or glitter if posterboard or tempera paint if cloth.

I’ve never made a concert banner before- tips?
Here’s my idea for George:

i cant think of gifts to get my family this year, i would love ideas. here is a little about each one:::

MOM: she is funny, and nice, and smart, kind of like a "wise a$$" (not in a bad way), umm she works at a doctors office…she likes hockey and nascar.

DAD: he has a really good heart, and he is a recovering alcoholic. he is very sentimental, and enjoys nothing more than being with the family.

BROTHER: he is a jokster, and LOVES racing more than anything. he lovessssss nascar and he actually races cars himself (not nascar tho). last year i got him a baseball cap that i got embroidered to say "walker racing" (his last name) with checkered flags, he loved it.

Lets start with the basics. I’m Asian (Hmong).

A festival thing is coming up where lots’o Hmong people go. So, I was wondering, do you think this could work if I did this?

(In dialouge(sp? DARN WII INTERNET D:) and stuff)

Me: (I go up to like a rice/food stand) Hi, I’d like to buy 2 bubble tea
Her: Okay (she makes it)
Ms: (I give her the money) "Oh I bought 1 for you too, do you mind sitting with me and chat for a few minutes?"

END of PART 1

>> (OPTION 1) If she says [NO] I say "Oh its okay, I guess you’re busy, but I’ll leave this here for you" (I walk away) she may feel like a Bi_ ch?

>> (OPTION 2) Her mother is there, she doesnt say anything, but the girl says no, end of day, they go home, the mom asks why her daughter was so mean and w/e xD [Possible?]

>> (OP. 3) She says [YES] would girl’s love it? esp. if its a first time?

>> (OP. 4) She says (IDK) but her mother says she can take a break. we talk… MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!

>////////////<

this sounded really embarassing LOL
but maybe if… T~T she.. did like me after the convo, it’d prolly be a long distance relationship. I go to a diff. county but same state.

I am doing this cuz the last festival, (few weeks ago) I sat next to a girl who I sorta felt interested in. but then i was too shy to say something then it ended. i felt saddened I’d never see or find her again

I mean how am I supposed to find the right girl in a yellow shirt, glasses, and umbrella (thats all I remember) T___T
there were prolly hundreds like that there

Well good news… it was fun. next festival now i guess. n’ flag football tournament with my team (first tourney, we’re out of shapes prolly xDDDD)
anyway
I AM 16 Years old btw. I’d hope a girl around that age would do? IDK

or idk would this work?

i know this question might sound confusing or make no sense, but answer however

thanks ( :

ps – should i get girls with a wingman? jkjk xD (my cousin lmao)
DAMN IT! NO ANSWERS SO FAR =___=

I read 2010 World Basketball Championship would take place in my hometown and beloved country Istanbul,Turkey(I was born in Turkey, I came here when I was 3, I speak Turkish very well).

3. Any additional info?
