I don t remember the title or author but I read the book in high school I think. It was about a boy who grew up in a castle and had experiments performed on him in a tower. I believe there was a stone dog or cat in a garden that he used to play with and pretend was real as a kid. Once he gets older they bring in a girl off the streets with crazy hair and sunglasses and the boy and girl run away together and the people from the castle go after them. The book didn t have a very good ending, and I remember being confused about it because it seemed like there should have been more, so it may have been in a series

A lot of women have bad dreams during pregnancy, but not like this. Most of my dreams are just vivid and weird, but three have made me upset, one to the point of crying. First I dreamed that I had a son, but he was maybe 12, and he was trying to kill me. He had me pinned to the floor and was choking me. The second one that I woke up crying from was about my boyfriend (baby's father) cheating on me. As soon as I had evidence that she was flirting with him and getting touchy, I killed her. I hit her head on concrete until there was blood everywhere, then I drowned her right in front of my boyfriend and told him to make a choice or she died. He refused and just stayed silent, smiling faintly. People were surrounding us, but no one seemed to care that I was killing this woman. The most recent dream involved a couple of owls. The female was trying to be cuddly and the male just ignored her, so I got mad at him and threw him against a tree. After he fell I ran to him, picked him up, and apologized. I love animals and would never ever hurt one no matter what, and while I don't usually like people as much, I would never kill someone. I'm not that kind of person. I have never had dreams like these before. I know it sounds silly, but these dreams have made me worry that my baby will end up being one of those awful kids that tortures animals and eventually becomes a serial killer, so I just want to know if these dreams will affect my baby in that (or any) way? And what could they mean?

While on the freeway we saw a plane flying extremely low (like I could see the propellers spinning and my boyfriend said he could faintly feel the engine rumble), black smoke coming from the back in four lines, seemed to be quickly losing altitude, and heading towards us(the airport was a ways to our left). Was he about to crash? Should we call 911 or something? My boyfriend says it lookes like a military plane though I don't know if that makes a difference.

I feel like it's hurting my relationship and hurting him when I tell him no, but am I supposed to pretend I want to when I don't? We are both 21. My boyfriend is very attractive and desirable to me and he actually can get me off multiple ways like no one else ever has. The sex is really nice and we have a great emotional connection, plus he usually does stuff for me in return, but I quite often just don't feel horny. Every single one of my relationships has been like this. All of my girl friends have basically told me they never don't want to have sex and spend vacations in hotel rooms having sex. This leaves me feeling like some sort of inhuman freak or something because I rarely want to have sex and everyone else seems to always want it. Foreplay usually helps, but I have never felt some all consuming desire to have sex like everyone else seems to. What is wrong with me? How can i fix it? Am I asexual? Doomed to be alone forever? Help!!

My boyfriend and I have been dating a year and five months. We also work together. Recently, I've noticed we don't have much to say besides "I love you" and "wake up, it's time for work." unless one of us is having a problem, sometimes with the other. He is talking about marriage and how happy I make him, and I love him and won't leave him. I have proposed a date night, something we haven't done in awhile, but I need fun and romantic, preferably affordable ideas. I want to do something that encourages communication ON the date, as opposed to AFTER the date, so no movies. And ALONE. Just the two of us, not a double date. Any ideas? Thanks. :)

Say if a person from Michigan was born and raised in Detroit, but at 20 years old she moved in with her boyfriend in Grand Rapids, would she be a resident of Detroit or Grand Rapids? She does not own the house, nor is she on the lease, everything is in her boyfriend's name. And if she is not a resident of Grand Rapids, how does she become one? Thanks! :)

Right across the street is a subway train that goes to reagan national airport and arlington and a there is a bus stop too. It serves breakfast and has a pool and hot tub and sauna and fitness center. In the lobby there is a gift shop and i think a fountain. There are several restaurants nearby, one of them that sells sandwiches and pizza i think. I remember pulling into a shady overhang at the front entrance. Or is there another hotel with a subway to DC within walking distance? I remember staying at this one when a I went to DC with a friend's family, but it was like six years ago and I don't remember the name. If anyone else does, that would be great. I would like to stay here again.

My boyfriend and I are going on a five day cruise in September for the first time, so I have some questions. First, the website doesn't have exact dates, just the month. Do I have to call or will they post exact dates as it gets closer to September? What do we do with our car? How long do they stop at each port? What will we have time to do? My boyfriend wants to visit Atlantis in the Bahamas. Will we be able to if we take a bahamas cruise? What is there to do on the ship? At each port? Are life jackets provided or should I bring my own? What does the posted cost include? Will we have to pay extra for food or amenities? How safe is it? What are the statistics for catching that norovirus thing or whatever? Seasickness? For the ship sinking? For a fire starting? Should I bring medicine for nausea? How big are the rooms? Do they have a safe for belongings like in hotels? Answers to any of these questions would be great. Thanks. :)

My boyfriend's last girlfriend had bad social anxiety and mostly hid in his room when she came over. They thought she was being rude and didn't like her. He says they like me and they let me move in, but my boyfriend told me they wanted me to be more social. I try to talk to them a decent bit or watch TV with them in the living room, but sometimes I just want to be by myself and watch what I want to watch on TV in his room. I'm worried they are going to start hating me too because of it. I have never been terribly social as my mom pretty much let me do whatever I felt like when I lived at home. If I wanted to nap or be alone, she let me. I'm used to parents like my exes' who would start conversations with me or leave us by ourselves all the time, but my boyfriend's parents don't start conversations; I'm expected to I guess. Only that's one thing I'm awful at. I like them and they have done and keep doing a lot for me, but I'm just not sure how to talk to them. Any ideas?

I used to live with two roommates in one's father's house, paying 250 a month. I was the only one working and paying rent and they were always talking about me behind my back so I moved out. I live with my boyfriend now and his parents charge me 200 a month, but they charge my boyfriend nothing except occasionally bringing home food. We are 21, work at the same place, but I make less. We pay insurance on our car together and I pay my phone and buy my food and my boyfriend pays the car payments. I have no problem with paying rent, but is it right? I live with my boyfriend, not some random roommate. He's talking about proposing to me, but are they still going to charge me rent when we are engaged? Married? I'm not going to be charged to stay in a room with my husband. He can't move out as his mother is terminally ill and won't live much longer, plus he gets the whole house and a large sum of money once his father dies, so I would be moving out alone. Anyway, is this right? What can I do?

I first started hearing it last night. It was sometimes two taps and sometimes one. Tonight however it started out as one tap every five or six seconds and after awhile it became two taps every 12 seconds exactly so its like tap.....tap......tap then taptap............taptap............taptap. It kind of sounds like the house settling as my mom would say except over and over again. I'm thinking maybe bugs or mice? How would I check? We do have a bit of a roach problem. Could that be it? Any ideas?

My friend and I had this fwb thing for like a week. We accidently fell asleep together at our friend's house in the friend's bed while playing xbox and when I woke up his arm was around me so I guess I thought it was okay. The next day he demanded to know why I slept beside him and told me it would never happen again. I gave him space for a bit and when we talked again he told me he wasn't mad but it would never happen again and called off our whole fwb thing, saying we would just be friends from now on. He wouldn't tell me why he was so upset over it when I asked and I really want to know because it didn't bother me at all. Any ideas?

I'm dating this guy and he's great but he isn't as affectionate as he used to be. My friend likes me and I like him just fine, but we went a little too far and held hands and got kind of personal sharing secrets. Then he stopped talking to me. I got him to talk to me again by admitting I like him. BAD idea. He is single, unlike me, and now he's wanting to be affectionate and drive me places and often implies he wants to have sex. I don't want to go that far. I've told him, but he keeps implying and assuming i want to. I feel like I've ruined our friendship. I'm scared if I turn him down we will stop talking again and he is also friends with my roommates and always over at our place and I can't stand being near people who are ignoring me. It makes me really depressed and anxious. I can't move out, so what do I do?

My boyfriend (Jamie) and I have been together 13 months. I love him more than pretty much anything. I have never cheated on him and I don't want to leave him. We plan to marry and have children someday, once we are both completely stable. About six months ago or so, I met his friends, and they became my friends. One of his guy friends (Chip) was really super nice to me from the second we met. Originally, I was just like "this guy is cool, I like him." About two months ago, I moved in with one of our other mutual friends (Brandi), and a month after, Chip had to move in because his family was moving away and he needed a place to stay. So all three of us live in the same house and I have to see them everyday basically. I've always liked chip in a friendly, borderline crush way, but we have never done anything aside from friend hugs and talking, but lately I feel almost like I'm crushing on him and it just keeps getting worse. One time I found myself wondering what it would be like to kiss him, and other times I have to refrain from flirting with him. Out of my two roommates, I want to be around him the most. Last night we were riding in a friend's car, Brandi up front and Chip and I in back. He jokingly touched my hand (all of my friends fake flirt with each other) and we ended up briefly holding hands, but I pulled mine away. At every turn we'd be squished against each other, and it sickened me that I enjoyed his body being so close to mine. I even found myself wanting to cuddle up to him and hold hands again, to the point that I had to fight with myself not to. I know he likes me one way or another as he offered to play step father if Jamie and I had a child and something happened to him. Chip is not better looking than Jamie, and I am not really interested in dating him or even having sex with him really, I just enjoy being close to him. Neither Jamie nor Brandi knows about this. Is this normal? Am I really attracted to him or is it just that I like how nice he is to me? Do I just like the attention he gives me? I can't stay away from him without being homeless, and I can't afford to move out so what do I do?

Let me go ahead and say I am not taking any drugs and don't have a history of anxiety. Most of today I have felt like something is off. Like I'm dreaming. Everything feels unreal, like everything is moving way too fast for me to keep up. I have been living with my 3 roommates for about a month and i always have to be around people at work so lately I just want to be alone, sometimes to the point that I will run off and cry in the bathroom or something. I feel like I can't get away from people anywhere. I haven't had any shortness of breath or unusual pains aside from the occasional ones in my ribs that come and go which I've had since I was a child. I got enough sleep last night. This happened to me in high school too. What could be wrong with me? Am I just stressed or is there possibly something more?

I have only slept four hours if that and I woke up hungry and having to pee and can't fall back asleep. I don't know what the magic about first morning pee is (the hormone is either there or it isnt) but will it be concentrated enough if I've only been asleep four hours (if that)? Can I take it now or should I wait until, like, 7 am (it's only 430 am and i REALLY have to pee!)?

We don't even fight about stupid stuff really. Most often he snaps at me, which he knows I don't like at all and I respond. Or I say something and he takes it wrong. Obviously we are both very emotional. We don't even fight about silverware or food, just random little things and the fights don't last very long but it always happens again. Why? Is it normal? If not, how do we fix it?

I'm just going to say it. Sorry. My boyfriend and I were have intercourse in missionary. We like to go fast and hard. Anyway, I guess we got to going too fast and he accidentally slipped out and pretty much stabbed my butt hole. It hurt so bad that I screamed and freaked out and stuff came out. I went to the bathroom and it looked like maybe a tiny bit of blood, i wasn't sure, but there was none on the toilet paper even when i shoved it up there three times. The pain went away almost immediately, no throwing up. I feel okay. Could it have ruptured my intestines or would I know immediately? How long would it take for symptoms to show up? What are they? I have no insurance so I dont want to waste money on a doctor. Should i go anyway? Thanks.

I don't have an addictive personality at all, and trust me I have done a lot to get addicted to, but McDonald's is the worst. I know it's bad for you and I try not to eat there a lot, but whenever I do, it's like I still want more and more. There is one in the place I work and I see people who are too big to even walk but they still keep going there. They have to know it's bad, but they still keep going there. Why? Why is it so good?

So we have been spending the day with two of our friends who both smoke. A lot. One of these friends was smoking and without even being offered, my boyfriend asked for the cigarette and took a drag (is that what they call it?), acting like he was being cool or trying to impress me or something. I don't smoke (neither does my boyfriend really), nor have I ever felt the desire to. I think it's an awful habit. My mother used to smoke when I was a child and eventually managed to quit cold turkey. She still has coughing fits sometimes, but for the most part she is okay. I am not a control freak in any way. I give my boyfriend freedom on a reasonable scale. I don't tell him what he can and can't do or who he can be friends with. This just REALLY bothered me to the point that I suddenly got really annoyed and didn't want to kiss him or even really talk to him. I'm not on my period, pregnant, or susceptible to constant mood swings. This one thing just made me really irritated with him and I can't seem to shake the feeling. Why?
