  • Where can I buy blooming tea buds in a shop or store instead of online?

    Of the three places I've used to purchase them online, I've had terrible experiences, the wrong blooms shipped, broken jars/glasses and shipment was ordered two months before Christmas, they lost my order and it wasn't received until after Christmas. For those that don't know, blooming teas are buds that bloom into beautiful flower arrangements in hot water and you drink the tea it makes while enjoying a bloom flavor. Please help! I'm in the Chicago area.

  • Ex Showed Judge Checks That Were Never Given?

    My husband and I have full custody of his children from his past marriage. We have taken her to court for back child support (she is supposed to pay 100/mo for two elementary aged children) She owes us about 7K to date. She came to court with copes of checks that we never received. My husband told the judge this and the judge requested to see proof of clearance through the bank. The ex stated it costs 50.00 per hour to obtain these records and we need to pay these costs up front. The judge said for her to pay it and then he will rule on the payment. Obviously she can't obtain these so she will forge more documents to the court. What can we do about this?

  • 7 Year Old Being Harrassed By 15 Year Old Neighbors?

    My step daughter plays outside after school. For the past several weeks, there are a group of 15 year old boys that harrass her in regards to her shoes, coat, clothing, appearance. They tell her her clothes are ugly and tell her she's poor. I send them outside in play clothing and shoes. I'm not a name brand hound and love to save money. So what, if they are play clothes? I'm really upset and have tried to let it go but it's just terribly sad that they pick on a 7 year old girl like this. Is there anything I can do other than speak to their parents which will likely go no where?

  • Step Daughter and Pelvic Pains URGENT!?

    My step daughter is 11. She woke up in the middle of the night having severe lower pelvic pains. Could this be her period coming for the first time? I gave her a heating pad and some hot chocolate. She's still up in pain and I then gave her some ibuprofin.

    Could it be something else?

    If it is her period, what do I buy her, pads and tampons? I want her to decide! HELP!

  • Turkey Gravy Recipes?

    I normally make my turkey gravy with turkey stock from the turkey itself and mix flower with cold water and slowly pour in until a thicker consistancy. I want to try it with cornstarch as I've heard it tastes better. I saw other recipes here but I don't want to add cream of mushroom soup for those that won't like it, any ideas would be great! I want a medium-thick consistancy and I have a lot of turkey stock (3 cups)

  • Discrimination For Not Stating Race?

    I applied to a worldwide corporation online. Upon completion of the application I was thanked and offered an optional race/sex/class declaration through another link yet it stated it was not relevant to complete for hire.

    I received a voicemail yesterday from a company representative stating I was not going to be considered for the position because I didn't not state my race but I may be considered for another position someday if I complete this information. I contacted the EEOC via mail and now is there anything else I can do? I feel rather violated and offended that this happened.

  • Did The Priest Mess Up Our Marriage?

    We got our marriage license. Fine. We got married about two weeks ago. The priest took our marriage license with him and the certificate he was supposed to complete and told us he would mail it back to us. He just emailed me telling me he sent the license into our county and we need to pick it up from them. WTF? I think he screwed this up badly. We are in DuPage Co, IL

    How much did they cost, post a picture! I paid 135.00 for mine and I thought it was outrageous. It's not but 2-3 feet long and adorned with Swarvoski crystals (who the F*** cares) and fake pearls. So we might as well share pictures of them, right?

  • How much did your makeup cost? Hair?

    I finally found someone for under 150 without the 50 trial fee to do my makeup. I noticed that their minimum charge is 45 bucks. I called them and they said it depends on the makeup and what you want. OMG are you kidding me? The average makeup application costs 55 dollars and up. WTF? I am not greedy by I think that I could do a better job if I paid myself 55 bucks!
