I'm having pony rides at birthday party and per the company there is a rider weight limit. I wasn't sure if it would be rude to include it invitation or if it is good idea to avoid hurt feelings. The limit is 72 lbs.

I am making chicken soup and starting off with a whole chicken and wasn't sure if you can reboil the carcass for more broth or do you have to use a chicken that was roasted first, just not sure.

I want to make a nice dinner for my guy. I know he loves this chicken and his favorite veg is broccoli but I can't think of what else to put with it. I'm also making a very rich cheesecake for desert topped with chocolate ganache so I'm trying to do lighter sides. Thanks for ideas!

I love my cousin & even threw her a bridal shower party. My problem is an aunt & uncle are attending who have tried to make my life horrible since birth. My aunt was preggo rt before my mom and became extremely jealous that she had to share the limelight. I've been slapped on the face by this aunt when I was only 2 yrs old. My mom is extremely non-confrontational and believes in turning the other cheek so to speak. Now that I'm pregnant, I realize how hurt I truly am bc I feel so overwhelmingly protective of my baby. I don't understand how my mom could never stand up for me all these yrs and the same a&u are still trying to make my life hell. Should I attend out of love for my cousin or just avoid the pure fear I have of them going after me once again at a family event. My sis says to just avoid them but I feel like I finally need to stand up for myself and avoid the drama for my unborn babies sake. Am I way off?

I get to visit my boyfriend twice a week bc he is receiving treatment. He is almost 30 and his dad also likes to visit at the same time as me bc there are only certain hrs to see ppl. I have let his dad visit several times w/out being present and now I want to spend time alone w my bf and he says its putting him in a difficult spot bc his dad feels hurt if he doesn't get to come. His parents never saw him but every other month when hes at his home. Is this rude of me? I feel chaperoned when he is around and I'm an adult.

When we were just friends and seeing if we wanted to date he told me he wasn't over his ex. He said the passion for her was greater than for me and after several mo's he told me he had serious feelings for me. Now he acts head over heels in love w me, saying he's never felt about me the way he felt for his exs. He has even told me he sees himself marrying me and me having his children. Is this possible that he goes from being lukewarm to redhot with me? It feels to good to be true and I want to believe him and enjoy it but I'm scared of getting hurt. Thoughts?

I've been diagnosed w post-traumatic stress syndrome and I've dissociated three times before, completely didn't know who I was, where I was going and what I was doing. I'm under severe stress right now and I forget where i was and nothing looks familiar. Is there a way to prevent this, I hate this and I'm scared.

If you do, is it just bc it was a part of you at one time but nothing now or bc you're still not over that person? Or do you toss em, out w/ the old and in w/ the new?

I was at his apt tonight and read it. We met a yr ago and he only wrote about how he was still in love with his exgf, I'm a yr older than him and he refered to me as the older woman! Then he made a journal entry on how we had dinner, movie, and f-d all night but still not over his ex-gf. This was mo's ago and we had broken up and recently he said he was over his ex and realized how much he loved me. He has introduced me to his parents and friends and invited me to spend the holidays with him... I shouldn't have snooped tonight but darn it, I did and now I have mixed feelings. He has apologized recently for making me feel insecure when we first met since he wasnt over his ex, he says he's going to spend every min making me feel beautiful and loved... should I be mad at the past or just get over it. I'm not a guy, I just don't know how they think.

Mad that my bf's ex-gf just dropped off old books of his on his front door even though she wouldnt see him for mo's after their breakup. Shes a cheater type and think she's bored w her current guy.

Or glad... because I feel a little insecure but not enough to ever let it make worry over any man ever again. If he's not over her I'll gladly move on,... we were friends while he was healing from the breakup and then he confessed his love for me recently, has even talked kids, marriage, the whole 9 yards.

I'm choosing glad I think :)

I think I'm more afraid of someone walking in with a bomb and destroying a city and killing tons of people. I think we could survive a depression because we have a history with it but not with such a severe attack on our own land. I'm not sure though :(

The dinner will be for her and her husband and daugther. I was informed there is an allergy to millet, and she tries to avoid corn and eggs. Plus she tries to eat somewhat healthy. I agreed to do dinner before I knew the restrictions and now I don't know what to do, any ideas would be great, thanks!

I've been seeing a guy since may and we're still just casually dating but he tells me he cares alot for me. We had sex in the beginning but he is a christian and has decided that he really wants to get to know me and love me outside of the bedroom first although he loves the sex. Here's the issue, he's been broken up with a girl for almost a year now and she's moved on but I feel like he is still in pain from it. He is coming home from a business trip today and I thought he'd want to see me but today was the anniversary of their first date and he's depressed about it and wants to wait until Saturday to see me. I feel really ticked, I understand pain bc I'm divorced but I'm clearly ready to move on even though I know you can still have thoughts of the past. Should I tell him I care about him greatly but think I just want a friendship to relieve him of any pressures he's feeling about me? I just don't understand this and I don't want to be some kind of clingy girl. Thanks for help!

I thought we were 4 hrs apart btw EST and PST so I thought it would be 8pm if it were 12am in EST, but my friend and my time clock on the computer say it is 9pm in PST if it's 12am in EST. ...*sigh* I'm so confused.

I've looked it up a little bit and done the compatibility thing and alot of it is right but he's not the dreamy artistic type. He is a numbers kind of guy (accountant) and likes music alot. He grew up on a farm but lives in the city now and is very stubborn at times. I know nothing of Pisces' personalities so any advice on what their like and how to deal with them would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Also, I'm definitely a Cancer in every sense if this matters :)

I was walking with a woman who was apparently my friend and she told me she was going out of town for several mo's and was leaving her 2 condos vacant. I suggested I could find friends to rent from her and she agreed. We were on a dirt road and I looked to the night sky and noticed a small circle of lightning occuring. I showed it to my friend and she also though it looked wierd. The circle kept getting bigger and it didn't appear to be lightning anymore but like circular ripples in the sky getting bigger and bigger. After a few minutes I was stunned because a giant hole appeared in the sky. I couldn't see where the hole lead to but a huge golden shooting star like thing fell through the hole and onto the Earth. I knew it was evil and was going to effect people. I was so scared I could barely move and then two men appeared on the road. One of them became a vicious dog like creature and started running toward us. It ended and I can't get it out of my head, help w/ ideas :)

If there is anything I can do to help be more comfortable in his class. It's an English grad class and my first one at that level. I'm not used to discussing all the idealogy behind literature and I feel so lost but I'm doing ok on the assignments. I just hate not being able to participate in class bc I feel so lost compared to the grad students (I'm an undergrad). Thanks for any advice.

I can't go on anymore, there is not one person who loves me. I've been on here before bc this is the only place where anyone even says anything nice to me. I'm done, I just can't go on and I want to die so bad but I'm afraid death won't help. I don't know what to do, I can't take it anymore!
