I currently live in the US, and I'm of Irish [mostly], Italian, and a small portion of Polish background. I'm the oldest of all my siblings [step, and direct blood relation], and I love animals. [Mostly dogs though.] I have blue eyes, blonde hair and hair skin due to my lack of following the tan-trend that seems to be spreading.

  • I need a find Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince in French, in hardcover. :( I don't speak any french at all and I'm struggling. Help?

    A friend of mine is proposing to his girlfriend and asked me to find a french version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I don't speak a word of french although I managed to figure out that the title is "Harry Potter et le Prince de Sang-Mêlé". Can someone help me find a hardcover version? All I'm finding is paperback. :(

  • Are there any strip clubs in Detroit for girls?

    Are there any that cater to women? All of the clubs with male strippers I've been to are gay strip clubs that cater obviously to men and either won't let you in without a male friend and/or won't give girls lapdances (only for guys).

  • What can you do as a civilian to help during a war?

    Aside from volunteering for the Red Cross and giving blood, what can a regular civilian do to help during active wars? Or are there really not many options and better to just continue on your life regularly?

  • Can I own a knife in Michigan for self defense?

    live in the Metro Detroit area, and because of my job I have to travel when it's still dark out (4am) and end up being in very empty parking lots. Recently I was harassed by a man outside my work with no one around, and luckily nothing happened, but I realized I don't have much defense. Being a tiny 21 year old white girl in a bad neighborhood I'm also a walking advertisement for easy prey. Better to have something to help me than nothing at all.

    I posted another question regarding pepper spray laws in Michigan, but apparently they are pretty strict. Can I own a knife of some sort for self protection? I feel like if I can't own pepper spray it might be the next best thing.

    I want to purchase pepper spray, but I don't know the laws for it in Michigan. Can I own pepper spray? (And does anyone know where I can get some?)

  • What ever happened to "Cricket" from the case of the Charles Ng/Leonard Lake serial killers?

    A third person, a woman nicknamed "Cricket" was involved in a series of murders (rape, torture, and murders) that were carried out by the killer Charles Ng and Leonard Lake. I know she was granted immunity (which is disgusting), but I want to know what happened to her after.

  • Should I tell my boyfriend his roommate hurt me?

    My boyfriend lives with another roommate, and we're all in our early 20's. He warned me at the beginning of our relationship to stay away from his roommate, but it was because he enjoyed stealing (or hitting on) all of his friends girlfriends and treated woman badly (emotionally). He's also into been into martial arts for a very long time and likes to rough house. We've been together a little over a year now and while the roommate and me are on friendly terms and do talk (they share a living space, it's not possible to avoid), I still have kept my distance but he'd occasionally hit on me.

    Well a week ago when I was hanging out at the house, his roommate was home and walked into my boyfriends bedroom to ask me to check something on the computer. While I was checking for him, he said something stupid and I jokingly shoved his shoulder. In turn he shoved me back and I pushed him away. The little game suddenly escalated when he grabbed me though and locked my arms behind me (he's in martial arts) and it really hurt. I told him to stop but he wouldn't and kept hurting me. He grabbed my hair and it hurt to the point my eyes were tearing up and I told him to stop, but he kept it up as if we were still playing around. He dragged me by the hair across the bed for a while before he twisted my limbs into a lock again while I continued to tell him off. It continued for quite a while as I pleaded. Finally he let go suddenly and left me there, completely in shock at what had happened and sporting bruises that appareared later in the day.

    I haven't told my boyfriend what happened. I'm scared of what he'll do and the house is actually owned by the roommate and they work together (the roommate got him the job). I'm worried he'll lose the place he lives and his job, which he can't afford because he's already living paycheck to paycheck. I don't want to be the cause of difficulties for him, but I'm scared of being alone ever with his roommate now. He's been confused (and possibly annoyed) with my inability lately to be left alone for any moment of time at his house.

    What should I do? Should I just let it go for his sake and pretend nothing happened?

  • Do a lot of girlfriends enjoy popping zits/blackheads?

  • I've been told it's bad that I smile out of politeness/habit in Russia?

    I recently just arrived in Moscow to study at uni for the next year (America). Some Russian friends and fellow uni students told me that people do not smile simply to be polite here, and that it's considered a negative thing. That I should only smile when I'm sincerely happy. But it's really hard when it's a habit you've been following for the last 20+ years of you're life!

    Any tips on how to kill this habit/train myself not to smile on instinct? Is it really that bad when I can't help it?

    I'm from the north part of the metro but I don't mind driving a bit, so long as the strip club isn't disgusting/dingy (a lot of the female strip clubs in the Detroit area tend to be...unsanitary.)

  • If you took the "morning after pill", are you "safe" the days following?

    If a contraceptive fails (I'm with a clean, dedicated relationship) and you take the "morning after" pull for emergency contraception immediately after, are you "safe" the following days as well? Does it reduce the chances of me getting pregnant while having unprotected sex right after taking it too?
