How do you go about moving to the beach when your kid graduates?
I had my son at 18. So i kinda missed out on the fun part of life. I am not complaining fully my choice, but i was thinking about life when he is grown. I told my bf that when he goes to college/moves out officially i wanna be saving up our whole lives so we can move somewhere like the Caribbean or something beautiful breezy sunny and not too hot. It jus seems so nice to me. But as i was telling someone else my plans they stated that i could not have a relationship wit my kid or my grand kids living far away. I said why not? I mean if i have the money to livein aruba i obviously have the money to fly bak and forth. anyways. If i wanted to do this for real. How could i 1) make a plan to save up 2) find out how much i would need 3) find out if i could still visit my grand kids /kids how i could keep a good relationship wit them? I was just thinking that i could move whereever and if my kid needs me he can come out there too right? is this a bad plan? would it work? help me figure this out! lol =D thanks!
1 AnswerAruba9 years agoIf you are behind another vehicle @ a stop light & you cant see the light but you can see the tail lights wtd?
It's poring down rain, cold and dark. You are at a stop light. In front of you you can see the tail lights of the vehicle but not the actual stop light. The vehicle infront of you starts to fade away. You still cant see anything but the taIl lights. What do you do?
a) blindly follow the vehicle hoping for the best
b) pull over i wont blindly follow anything
c) i would contemplate both and make a decision based on what i think is best for me
d) sit there because im not sure which one to do
6 AnswersPhilosophy9 years agoIf someone has a terrible god awful hair style should you tell them?
This guy at my job is really weird. he is quite nice but completely shy and socially awkard. soemtimes he wears the strangest cloths like an ugly button down with no undershirt and the last botton missing so his belly is showing...ugh...and things like that. anyways soemtimes he actually wears cute things and ever since i gave him a compliment on one of his shirts i noticed he dresses better. here is the deal everyone in the office is kinda avoids him bc he seems liek the type of person that was picked on so much that one day he will come in wit a gun and kill us all like no joke he seems lie that. anyways bottom line the guys is nice but he has this GIANT completely bawld spot in the front of his head that he "tries" to comb over with the side hairs. and it is just so terrible. and i feel bad bc i think he could improve the way he comes across if he would just shave his head already. and he is only like 30 or 31. i feel so bad for him i wanna tell him out of kindness not out of cruelty but 1) idk how you can nicely say that to someone and 2) what if he takes it offensively and tries to kill everyone cus he really is crazy? lol anyways the reason why i am really debating telling him is bc i worked here for 2 yrs alweays wanted to tell him and next week is my last week so i really wanted ot say somehting b4 i left.....do you think i should just leave it alone? idk what to do.

2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships9 years agoIs asking a question really a way to answer your subconscious?
What i mean by that is...do you really think everyone know the answers to the questions they ask subconsciously, but they ask the question inorder to reassure their subconscious that it was really correct the whole time?
like if i asked on here if it was ok to hit ppl. obviously i know it isnt ok but what i am really asking is how mnay people out there feel like i feel or think like i think how many ppl r on my side?
is asking a question really just a way to assure ourselves we know that answer. (and i dont mean factual questions).

5 AnswersWords & Wordplay9 years agoDo Truly believe life is what you make of it?
Over the years i have developed my own view on life like everyone else does. My veiw is that life is what you make of it, if you chose to wollow in self pitty that is what your life will be, if you chose to be a victum thats what youll get, but if you chose to make moves your life will make moves. I think you get what i am saying. I think that happiness is a choice & you chose to be happy in your own life or not. I want to hear you veiws?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoGA temp Agency contract question?
I live in ga. A right to work state. I work for a temp agency named "TIG" and a company named "TCE". The company wants to hire me on but cannot due to some company problems. I however need more money. My husband jus lost his job and ive been tryin to get more money here for a while. I love working at "TCE". But i can only work here if i work for "TIG". Well that is per my contract with TIG. Their contract states that i can only work at TCE if i work for TIG or if i quit TIG i cannot work at TCE with any other temp angency for 6 months. now that is wut the contract says but bc ga is a right to work state isnt that contract illegal? if i quit TIG and worked for another company and still worked at TCE would the contract hold up in court since it is technically illegal to tell me i cannot work somehwere? Ive been tryin to talk to the company lawyer but he isnt answering and i need help now! I tried to ask this question b4 and could not get a proper response bc i dont think ppl really understand completely what i was talking about so if you have questions i will answer them i jus really need some assistance if you could! thanks guys!
2 AnswersLaw & Legal9 years agoAll religions do you really think you can change someone’s religion though rude sarcastic non factual remarks?
I am just curious to know the answer. I for one am not religious. I actually find this section quite humorous bc of all the fighting and OPINIONS stated as facts. It makes me giggle. I have no problem with ppl being religious, in fact i condone it. It’s great to have something to believe in, and i understand that. I personally believe we should all coexist, but obviously that will never happen. the fact is that people use their religion to define them. atleast i feel that it seems that way. why else would someone be so offended for someone else to not agree with them? i understand that your religion takes up your life in the way that you live it, but why does it have to be a thing of pride? if i say i dont believe in god why does that mean that ppl who do feel the need to tell me i will burn in hell? I was raised a devoted Christian all my life. and as i grew up i made my own decision about my life just like anyone should. but sometimes kids are brought up to believe something and they will die believing that witout ever experiencing anything else. just blindly believing in something can really help you when your down but does that mean u have to force other ppl to believe the same? why is it somehow wrong for me to disagree? Just bc i live my life different than yours doesnt make me wrong or right just like it doesnt make you wrong or right. so how are all these snarky, rude comments helping anyone. why do you think if you say im stupid for not believing its gonna miraculously bring me to your side? and atheists why do you think telling believers they are stupid and telling them facts will make them not believe? the fact is that it wont. and that it doesnt matter. bc at the end of the day you and i will live on our lives just like we did b4 and noone is going to be any different or feel any different about their beliefs. so wut is the point in all the hatred and fighting? do you really think you are going to change someone's mind?
*fyi i am not talking about good ppl who generally care about others and chose to "spread the word of god".*
*and atheist i am not talking about intelligent, factual, adult conversations in which you try to per sway someone*
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoDo I have to have some kind of permit or degree to start my own Toddler Arts & Crafts activity business?
I love art. I have always wanted to be a preschool art teacher. But school is just not for me. It's not like i cannot do it. It's just not in the cards for me. So I was thinking on the side I could start a Toddler Arts & Craft business. I tried researching on the internet to see price ranges or maybe some kind of info but i can find any. maybe people dont want this kind of business and that's why i cant find info...i am not sure. But anyways what i would do is kinda like a daycare only the hours would not be as long. and it would kinda be like tutoring bc it would be by appointment or atleast a phone call 1st and it wouldnt be more than a few hours at a time. I would charge either per hour or perhaps per visit per kid. But i would mostly want kids under the age of 5 bc if i had lil ones and big ones i think it would be hard to control. anyways we would make special arts and crafts paint draw make mommy and daddy gifts. make holiday decorations. regaurdless it would be fun. and it's really what i want to do with my life when i get more established. I live in GA. so I though that would be important info for the laws. any thoughts?
1 AnswerSmall Business9 years agotemp angency contract question?
Ok so i have worked for this temp angency for almost 2 yrs now. they suck! since day one theyve been rude under paying me and just unexceptable. I tried to leave the 1st yr bc they promised me a raise and i needed the money and then they didnt give it to me when they said they would. i was screwed fro money and had to borrow some from family until they added it to my next check which is unexceptable i should have to wait 2 more weeks to get money i earned 6 weeks ago. anyways i tried to leave them then and switch to another temp agency and i found out i cant work fr my company for 6 months if i leave them or they can i guess sue me i am not really sure. the deal is this is the second time they have messed up. this time i requested off 12 hours of pto. it was on their website like its supposed to be. and when it was time to send in my timesheet i also included a letter reminding them of my pto. well the check comes and they didnt give me any pto. i called and left 2 messages and thye still havent called me back. and when they do i am not lookign forqard to them saying opps we will add it to your next paycheck again. and last time i tried to leaveone of the ppl there pretty much cussed me ut talkign to me like he is my dad. ugh! i cant stand disrespect and i think they treat me this way bc i am so young i am only 20 and i was 18 when i first started and had never worked for a tmep angency b4 and i think they took advantage of that. andyways my poitn is i want to leave and work for another temp service so i can get atleast 4 dollars more per hour. what do you think they will do? how much can they sew me for?
