Question #1:

Do most men want an old-school stay at home wife but are afraid to say anything?

I ask because my husband and i have been married 5 years and i have held down a good job and brought in a decent income for all 5 of those years. I was raised in a family where women work even after having kids, it's the norm, my mom,grandma etc..all worked their whole lives. But now i am currently p/g with our first baby due in Dec, and also my husband is military so we will be moving to Alaska for his work in Feb of next year. My husband and i have looked into my working once we move up north and while it is possible for me to transfer from the hospital i work at now to one in Anchorage there are many factors that will make it difficult. We will only have one car at first due to the military only pays to move one vehicle, i won't have a daycare line dup because it's a new city and i don't know anyone, and also i will still be on maternity leave when we move. My husband mentioned to me very quietly one day that he would not mind if i took 6 months to a year or so off to stay home and take care of the baby. He even mentioned that it would be nice to be on the same schedule (we currently work different hours) and he would like me to be home when he gets off work, cook dinner etc..I have no problem with that kind of stuff it's just that the idea of not working scares the pants off me, i have always worked. My husband has never said anything about liking the idea of me being a stay home mom and so it kind of threw me off when he mentioned it. Do most men want a wife to stay home and care for the kids and do household stuff as long as they actually do a good job and don't sit on their butts watching tv all day? I fully intend to go back to work eventually i have a job i love and i make ok money at it. But my husband feels a couple years or so at home would be good for us and our baby. I agree but im scared to death of staying home. Do most men mean it when they say stuff like this?
My husband like shis military career and we have excellent pay and benefits from it. The lifestyle may be a bit harder but we have never paid a medical bill and always had food and a roof over our heads where as civilians in this economy have not been so lucky. And i hate to tell you this Lawerence but there is authority in every job not just military. I don't think you've had a REAL job if you think the military is to authorotative.lol..

Question #2:

What type of car should I buy for college?

Im in high school right now and graduating next year. And I was wondering what type of car I should buy. A SUV, Pickup or Car? I will be living close if not on the campus. I like having the option of being able to tow other cars just incase, and I would also like to hold a lot of big things. (Example, Surf Board, Coolers, Lawn Care Equipment) The problem is, I will be renting an apartment, so I dont know if having a big car will be good with parking on the street and gas is getting expensive. What do you guys think? Also, please dont think I dont have the experience to drive a large car, My first and current car is a near 20 foot Ford E-Series, and I parallel park that every day of high school. I've been driving that since I got my license and before that my dad let me park it in our garage only Inches from the Mercedes and the wall. I never hit either.

Question #3:

Do I need anti-depressants?

First of all, I believe that anti-depressants are RIDICULOUSLY over prescribed in the United States. I hate how everyone thinks they need anti-depressants just because they get depressed a little, or even a lot. I believe that it has nothing to do with how often you are depressed (there may be a plausible reason for you being depressed that is not related to a chemical imbalance) but rather your ability to be happy. I'm an 18 year old in high school and I feel like I can't be happy. I see other people everyday at school, and I feel like I am way different from everyone else. I'll give one of many examples. In class, we had to get our pictures taken, and everyone could work up a good smile, or pose, or what ever (even if it was fake, they still had the energy to do it) but I couldn't even muscle up the energy to smile. Not that I don't have physical energy, but like emotional energy, if that makes sense. I really don't want it to show because I don't want to be "that depressed guy" who no one likes, so I end up just trying to hide from everyone. I actually believe that I show some symptoms of being bipolar because sometimes I'm doing just fine acting normal and then out of no where I feel this emotional energy sucker coming over me. I look at all of these other Americans who seem to take anti-depressants just to relieve stress, or because they look for happiness in the wrong places, but like I said, it seems like I don't even have the ability to be happy. Also, very rarely (like once or twice a month (if that)) I will randomly get these weird intense feelings of excitement and/or enjoyment over something completely small, or nothing at all, and if that's how people are suppose to feel on a daily, or even weekly basis than I think anti-depressants would be worth it, even though I feel strongly that people should stay away from them if they can.
Some extra details for you; there really is no reason why I should reasonably be depressed. I have a loving family, my parents make enough money to support me, I have luxury items (xbox, ipod, big t.v, a car to drive, my drum set, even a big swimming pool in my back yard)But I don't have any close friends, I feel like me not having friends is not a reason to be depressed, but rather, I don't have friends because I'm depressed. And I wouldn't blame them either. Family should be there for you (which they are) if you are depressed, but you can't expect others to hang around you if you are depressed, emotions are contagious. So does this seem like a reasonable reason to take anti depressants even at my young age, or is this just normal for everyone, even though I highly doubt many people at my school feel the same way I do.

Sorry that this was extremely unorganized, I really didn't want to have to take time to go back and revise this.

Question #4:

Okay, this girl is reaaaly confusing me )): help?

Okay so I'll just give the cliff notes of how all this went down. Oh and don't let how it may sound fool you because it wasn'tas smooth sailing as you might think. and if you're asking, yes I did feel that sense of "I'm an idiot" while writing this.

-Met this girl by getting her number and talking to her for a looong time

- I'm not sure if she expected more cuz I'm not the best looking guy out there but far from de worst. anyway she still giggled and smiled when she saw me.

-Thanks to a bet we had, She took off her panties before we walked into the theater and I finger f**ked her during the movie...but she's bisexual.

-I did it again while we were in the booth at bubba gump restaurant(I was so shameless back then)

-A few days later I called her asking if she really had any feelings for me and we had a heart to heart and she SAID that she didn't but there's more to it.

- We ended up going to prom together and first thing we did was find a private place then made out(for about ten seconds then my gym teacher caught us)

-she sat on my lap and(stupid me) asked if she liked me. but she sat on my lap and said "i like you" in the sweetest voice.

- well the date ended and i had my arm wrapped around her the ride home ( She asked "why are you so warm" in the ride before we got to the dance and snuggled with me then)

-after wards we hadn't really talked in a while. I mean when we first met we'd talk all the time(I mean literally going whole nights w/o sleep) but then and lately we don't really talk at all.

-next came the summer and my 18th birthday where we spent the whole day at six flags. She lifted up her shirt enough to show off her tummy but wasn't so into me hugging her and such. when I asked her about it, she said she doesn't like PDA with guys. and I quote "if you were a hot girl then I'd not mind"

-but I managed to walk around till we found a private place in the park then(stupid me again) asked if I could kiss her. needless to say it was kind of awkward and lasted about 3 seconds. But here's the funny thing. on the way back home we sat in the very back(we were being driven, I don't have a car) and at first she swore that I wouldn't get to touch her down there and that I'd be lucky to get to feel her boobs. Well when we were in the car I was sorta acting like a little puppy pawing at her for a feel( I was such a...dumb ass!)

-she insisted on no and I gave up then tried to talk about other things. About five minutes into this new conversation she said I was allowed to feel anywhere above the waist. I didn't hesitate and immediately went to work. at this point I finally grew a pair and decided to try something I thought was tactful. I massaged her breasts and nipples with moves I saw in a porno. and then I started testing the waters by occasionally and more frequently moving them downstairs. she was giving me that "hey" look but I told her "I'm not going below the belt" with a new found confidence :D

- Eventually she let me go downstairs but with only about five minutes left before she got home..she didn't "get home"

Well anyway recently it's gone back to the not talking on the phone and since she lives far away and I STILL don't have a car plus i'm in college, I don't see much more of a chance coming for us to really do anything. I do have one last chance. our family does a show for thanksgiving where we get to do a song and dance and she's coming. do you think I have a shot or do the clues tell me I should give up?(Oh..one more hint. even though she says she prefer girls and has even been in a hotel room with a cute one on a school trip, she doesn't let them touch her down there, or so she says_o)
Oh , and if you're wondering why this is in the LGBT category...I always feel like you guys know something I don't. Get really insightful answers here.

Question #5:

what is a lawyer supposed to do in this situation?

Your client startles you in your first conversation with him, conducted in jail, two days after his arrest for possessing several ounces of marijuana. “When searching me after my arrest,” he says, “the police did not find a small gun I kept in my boot. In the patrol car I was handcuffed, but was still able to get the gun. I stuffed it, out of sight, in the seat behind me. I suppose it’s still there. And it’s loaded.”
“Wow,” you say. “Let me tell the police about the gun. Somebody could get hurt if it’s not found. I’ll provide this information anonymously, of course – what you tell me is confidential.”

“No,” your client says, “don’t tell. My fingerprints are sure to be on the gun. With my prints, the cops can link me to a robbery I committed two weeks ago with that gun.”

What do you do?

Question #6:

What could this dream mean? Need best answer!?

I went at the park that I was playing when I was little. It was a really sunny day and I went at the swing to play a little, even if I am older now. Suddenly I felt dizzy and I left the park, changing destination. My parents were along me, even if I do not have a good relationship with, and I told them that I wanted a certain Barbie doll. Funny, because the dream so far is childish.

Anyways, the scene changed and I was at some place where suddenly some men came and they asked me to go with them. I denied at first, but then they took me by force and they pulled me into some big vehicle like a bus. After awhile, the vehicle stopped and they procceeded out where two of them were holding me. We had arrived to some place like a wasteland-desert and from now on we had to ride a car. Not all of those men came, only the leader and two more if I remember correctly. I sat behind with a black-haired man next to me; He looked dark, but so familiar at the same time, like I knew him from before. I began talking with him but I cannot remember what we said to each other... But we felt drawn to each other and we began kissing. He said that he loved me, even if we knew each other for so little, but I was still feeling that I knew him from the past. The others in front did not noticed, so suddenly I jumped from the car and I fell near some fire. If I was fell closer I would be burned but the dark-haired man saved me and told me to not try such reckless actions. The leader approached us and he was angry that I tried to escape but the dark-haired man stood in the middle to face him. He began fighting him with a sword and by accident I fell onto a cactus and my coat was full of spines. I tried to take them out and somehow I got a long sword and I went to attack to the leader.

Afterwards the scene changed, I was back at home. It was night and my parents were watching TV, while I was holding my cell waiting for the dark-haired man to contact me. Suddenly I received a message from some other dude that in reality he was after me, telling me that he wanted to meet me and have 'fun'. I was pissed and later I went back at that wasteland area to search about the dark-haired man but he was nowhere. I was calling out for his name several times but nothing happened.

I know long, but what could it mean? Thanks.

i'm planning on getting a used mercedes benz m class and i'm 25 years old. it would be my first car since i never owned a car

i was just curious if ppl would think i'm high maintenance since it's a luxury car

Question #11:

Would my fiance's family be offended if I didn't go?

My due date is a week from today(September 15th with our first child). My fiance and the father of the baby wants me to go with him to his family picnic which will be in the park on Saturday. I was hoping he'd change his mind about going or our baby would decide to make his appearance a week early so I wouldn't have to go. So far it hasn't worked out that way. His family is okay to be around,just have to avoid certain one's especially when drunk. It's not that I wouldn't mind going,it's the fact that I'm 39 weeks pregnant and it's supposed to be over 90 degrees outside(not to mention the humidity which will make it over 100 easy). Where the picnic is,there isn't a building and very little shade,way too hot for me. He doesn't seem to understand that. Even when I said I'd just sit in the car with the A/C running the whole time he told me I shouldn't because they'd think I was being antisocial. He's making me feel guilty and like I'd offend his family if I didn't go and stay the whole time(he won't leave early,I know him).

What should I do?

Question #12:

Question #13:

My boyfriend doesn't wait for me?

We just started high school a few days ago and things have been a little weird lately and i miss him because he's been at football and doesn't really have time to talk outside of school. I feel like I'm trying too hard to always make the first move. Yesterday I waited for him and then hugged him goodbye. But today after school I was just standing there not knowing he already left. Then I saw him waiting by his brothers car. Is he trying to pull away from me? With not really making an effort to talk to me or wait for me....Should I talk to him?

Question #14:

My Mazda 2 is due for its 1st service, where should i go?

I have a Mazda 2, due in for its first service. I know Mazda don't issue a service book with new cars, as it's all done on a database. Is it best to go to a Mazda dealer?

I've been quoted £117 by Mazda, but don't know if this is a good price or not (i'm such a girl!)

Any help from anyone with a newish Mazda, or anyone who just knows would be grately appriciated!!

Thank you!!!

:)

Question #15:

What do you think of this introduction? :)?

Hi, okay so have to write a narrative essay for school. And I'm writing about the first time i went driving...(basically my dad left the car for a min to get something from the house and i decided to drive anyway and hit a pole..stupid i know lol) so this is my intro what do you think of it? any suggestions on things i can add or change? and how should i start my first paragraph??

sorry for all the questions but please answer really need the help!

thnx :)
Some people claim that women can't drive. I, like many others am very skeptical of this assertion. However, recent events have caused me to see some truth in this incredibly chauvinistic idea. What most sixteen or seventeen year olds would agree on, regardless of gender, is that there is nothing that can beat the excitement that comes with driving for the first time. A heady mix of emotions: fear, dread, excitement, the feeling of independence, of maturity...it's all there. Once you get behind the wheel of the car for the first time, you know you have taken that first step to adulthood and nothing says "I'm an adult" better than being seated in the drivers seat...

Question #16:

Car Rental USA Insurance?

I am getting really annoyed with trying to get a quote for car rental in USA. For basic rental I have been quoted $200. But then there are all the insurances:

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI)
Personal Accident and Effects (PAE)

What do I actually need to have as they are really expensive!!! Adding just the first two takes my rental up to $500.

I am very confused. What legally do I have to have? Someone told me the US insurance is strange cos you can get sued for an accident and end up paying thousands of dollars out to the person you hit. Can I just get insurance through my own car insurance here in the UK rather than paying $300 dollars??
Also can someone please explain what the above insurances actually mean??

Question #17:

What do you think of the first paragraph of my new novel?

(changed a few things)
Sorry about the format of the paragraph. It's just that I'm still not sure how to "technically" integrate dialogue. Capitalized words mean they were suppose to be in italics. Oh and I know I talk a lot in slang, but that's how I intend my novel to be.
--------------------------------------…


I had just walked a few blocks from my house when a cop pulled me over. Well not technically "pulled me over", but yea, he stopped me.
"Hey kid what's your name?".
I just said the first name that came to my mind.
"Lawrence".
LAWRENCE, I thought, oh my God.
He turned his car off, and said "What's the backpack for?".
I had completely forgotten I even had that with me. The bad thing is I was holding it like grocery bag, which made me look suspicious, instead of wearing it like a backpack.
"It's for school and stuff, you know?".
He took his stunner shades off, looked me right in the eye and said "Oh yea? Woll what school ya got on a Saturday?"
There was nothing I could say to that. I stared at him for like two seconds without a reply. He probably knew who I was, and was just trying to see if I'd give in. HelI no, I wasn't gonna give in.

Right when he pulled the handle to open his door, I shot off like my mother was dying. He came after me for like only a few steps and then ran back to his car-- probably to call back up and tell'em he'd found Jerry Gons. And it's a good thing he ran back too, 'cus I tire out fast while running. I mean, I'm a lightning fast starter but I can't keep the pace.
I ran 'till I saw somewhere I could hide and they wouldn't expect it...(to be continued)
--------------------------------------…
thanks, be rude, be nice, be HONEST

Question #18:

Is he too big of a mama's boy or am I overreacting?

I have been with my boyfriend for 4 wonderful consecutive years. We share a beautiful son together. Im 20 and he is 21.

His mom and I have really never got along. I was his first girlfriend, he lost his virginity to me. So she's never had to deal with girls before me. He has a younger brother, He finally just moved out and got into his first relationship. His mother has ALWAYS been over barring. She use to make him print out his time worked every week and right down the mileage on his car to make sure he went to work and work only. We met at work, she would call twice a night to talk to him to make sure he was at work. He was the ideal teenager NEVER got into trouble, touched drugs, alcohol, straight A student. So she had no reason to not trust him. I wanted her to know that I really cared for her son and I wanted her to get to know me, so I called her and invited her to go to lunch or to go get pedicures together whatever she wanted my treat, mind you I was 16 at the time she said I don't hang out with teenagers and hung up on me.

Ok fast forward to now. She calls him 2 or 3 times a day. He won't answer his phone in front of me when she calls, he goes to the back room. Of course I go and ease drop. Ill hear him say things like "Yeah we got the car looked at" and he will give her every detail or 'I have work I can't make it, no I can't ask for any more time off" It drives me up the wall how she is always in our Business. She flipped out on him because he wouldn't take the day off to be with her on her last birthday, she is 42 she doesn't need her kids to miss work to make her feel special. ashe calls him every week to go to a concert. She never calls to take our son any where or to even see how he is doing, but shes got his name tattooed on her? She will buy us groceries and bring them over unannounced and tell us to pay her for them even though we didn't ask for them or even want them and tell us we have to pay her back. We don't carry cash so she calls and calls until we give her the money. My boyfriend will blow me off to hang with her. It's like he doesn't want to tell her no. We get into these HUGE fights over him going to concerts with her. Because we never get to do anything together. The last time him and I went out together I was 7 months pregnant, my son is now 2. This last fathers day and his birthday she calls and tells him she wants to take him to diner, she didn't even invite me. I don't know why she thinks it's ok for her to take up all his time on Father's day. Her other son lives about 30 minutes closer to her, works half the time my BF does and doesn't have a kid. But she never does any of this to him she doesn't just drop by unannounced, call all the time or ask him to go any where. I tell him why doesn't she hang out with her friends. I wish she would realize that he works no les than 50 hours a week so his son and I have very limited time with him. Sorry this is a novel but I really needed to vent.

I am to the point where I can't and wont put up with fighting his mom for his time. I feel that our son and I should be priority number 1. And im about ready to tell him it's me or her, I know that sounds crazy making him choose between me or his mother, but im tirexd of her purpoesly making plans with him when she knows we had plans. Shes very vindicting and manipulative.

So do I have the right to be as pissed off as I am or is this normal?
When he doesn't answer his cell phone she calls our house phone and says"is MY son there" she doesnt even ask how am I? no he's at work "shes say when will he be home I tell her, and she will call back for him two time or 3 times between the time I told her he'd be off. It's gotten to the point where I just hang up on her, and that's so out of my character.
Iv'e been living with this situation for 4 years now and im beyond fed up. Ive told him numerous times that he has to live with me NOT her. 97% of our fights arguments are over his mom and im sick of it.

Question #19:

I just found out how much my husband paid for my ring and I'm kind of disappointed -- what to do?

Okay, last night, my husband revealed to me how much he paid for my ring -- $5000. That's not very much for him. He buys cars all the time that cost 10 times that much. He could've bought something nicer for me. And I didn't get to pick out the ring, so it's not really my taste. It's also not a traditional bridal set (with an engagement ring and a wedding band) -- it's just one ring. I know this all sounds very superficial, but it sort of bothers me. When he proposed, I told him that I liked the ring because I didn't want to hurt his feelings or seem materialistic. When he told me how much he paid for it, I told him that I wanted an upgrade after we have our first baby. He kind of laughed, but I really do want the upgrade. I wear it every day, you know. It should be something I like. And he got to pick out his ring, so I think I got a raw deal. He's kind of a cheapskate -- he actually thinks he spent a lot of money on it, believe it or not.

Question #20:

Does my opening paragraph make you wanna keep reading?

Sorry about the format of the paragraph. It's just that I'm still not sure how to "technically" integrate dialogue. Capitalized words mean they were suppose to be in italics. Oh and I know I talk a lot in slang, but that's how I intend my novel to be.
