  • Is there any way I can translate an entire article from English to Vietnamese online for free?

    My friend unknowingly got involved in a pyramid scheme. I found out when she texted me asking if I wanted to become an entrepreneur. I told her maybe and talked to my dad, who is the one who told me it sounded like a pyramid. She wouldn't tell me the name of the company and wanted me to go to a meeting with her and learn everything there, but I bugged her until she told me is Nu Skin. I googled it and I found some articles online that discussed Nu Skin's sketchy business. She believes me now, but her dad wants to read the information for himself. The problem is that he barely speaks English. I was wondering if there was a way to get a version of the articles I found in Vietnamese instead of English. I really prefer a free or cheap method because money is tight right now. Thanks! (:

  • My boyfriend invited me to a cookout his boss is having. Would it be rude to bring food?

    My boyfriend invited me to a cookout at his boss's house next Saturday. He is good friends with his boss and the co-workers who will also be at the cookout. We will be helping to clean out his boss's garage and then there will be the cookout. This will be the first time I meet all of these people and I want to make a good impression.

    My boyfriend loves fruit and I was thinking of making apple salsa (he told me he was interested in trying it when I told him about it). I was going to surprise him with salsa to take to the cookout if he wanted to or he could keep it at his apartment.

    He told me there will be 15-20 people at the cookout, so I can make enough salsa, but would it be rude of me to bring food to this cookout? I don't want to be disrespectful. Should I check with my boyfriend first or is surprising him a good idea? Please tell me if this is just a bad idea. Thanks! (:

  • How would you react to a girl you have never met calling you and telling you that your son with a social?

    disability is stalking her?

    I asked this question before but I didn't really get a helpful answer. One person was trolling and telling me that I liked it because I continued talking to him, but the fact is that he told me he didn't have many friends and I could tell he had a social disability, so I felt bad for him. I figured he was harmless, but now I'm thinking otherwise. Two people told me to tell my parents, but they aren't in the picture, so I can't tell them anything. My mother suffers from dementia and my father is a severe alcoholic. Another person told me to call the police, but I don't want to get them involved because I'd feel bad for calling the cops on a person with a social disability. I just want it to end, I don't want anyone in jail.

    So here's my story:

    I met what appeared to be a girl on runescape about 7 years ago. I was 12 years old and "she" said she was 18. Little things, like not wanting to talk about guys, not knowing basic girl stuff, and other things made me question whether or not it was a girl I was really talking to. Some weird questions came up, like "do you masturbate?" but at the time, I was in middle school, and didn't know what those kinds of things were or the extent of their creepiness. I continued talking to him over runescape, and when he stopped playing, we exchanged screen names. I was probably in 8th grade at this point and still pretty naive. "Her" avatar was a guy and I was absolutely sure "she" was a he. Later, he admitted he was a 27 year old guy who didn't have many friends. At this point, I knew he was a little creepy, but I could tell just by talking to him that he had some sort of social disability. I felt bad and stayed talking to him. Things were fine for years, but now I am 19 years old, and things got even creepier. He started pressuring me for a picture, and I kept saying no, but he'd just ask again and again and again. To put an end to it, I sent him a picture of me just standing there. I thought if I sent an unattractive picture, he'd stop harrassing me. He messaged me once I emailed it to him "could you bend over a bit so I can see down your shirt". I was pissed and was like bye! and he used the "I have no friends" excuse and I said as long as he respected me, I'd stay his friend. He started to ask me very weird questions - mostly about my sex life. Things got even worse when he messaged me one day saying: "your sister looks just like you". I flipped out because A) he was stalking my sister. B) My sister is 17 years old. C) My sister never asked for this. D) he told me he liked to jack off to pictures of girls. E) it was creepy as hell. He also told me he watched porn behind his parents backs, walked around his friend's house naked when she wasnt home and asked him to dogsit, masturbated while he drove, and smelled the same friend's panties. All of that on top of creeping on my sister on Facebook was just the straw that broke the camels back. My boyfriend thinks he has antisocial personality disorder. He lies and he tries to be manipulative, but the thing is that he's not very smart. I was outraged, and used the fact that he told me his first and last name as well as the town and state he lives at to google him. I already knew he lived with his parents because he told me they controlled everything he did. I was able to find his parent's phone number and now I'm debating on calling it and telling them to keep their son away from me and my sister. Every time I block him on messenger or runescape, he creates a new account and messages me. He also told me he's been in trouble before for talking to girls online. He is 27, I am 19, and my sister is 17.

    If you were his parent, how would you react to me calling you and reporting all of this? How would you confront your son about this? How would you handle this situation in general?

    Sorry this was so long. Thanks for reading it!

  • This man has been stalking my sister and I'm not sure how to handle this?

    I met a guy 7 years ago on runescape. He seemed friendly, and eventually decided to stop playing. We exchanged yahoo messenger screen names and continued talking. After he asked me to send him a picture, I sent him one just of me sitting on the couch. He asked me to send him another one - this time standing up and bending over so he could get a better look at my boobs. He started asking me creepy questions about my sex life and masturbation and I was like this is a little weird. I figured he was harmless and I felt bad because he said he didn't have many friends and I could tell he had some social problems so I stayed talking to him. I thought he was just lonely and avoided all his weird questions. One day he asked me my sisters name. I told him Emily and the next day he messages me saying: your sister looks just like you. He also told me he watched porn and jacked off to it. I flipped out on him because i feel like its one thing when he is being creepy towards me but he doesn't know my sister and the thought of a 27 year old man jacking off to a 17 year old disgusts me. I told him I put a tracker on her Facebook and was prepared to call the cops if I saw he was on her page again. I didn't put a tracker on and I know the cops couldn't do anything but I needed to scare him away from my sister. Now he's creeping on me even more and since my naive sister refuses to block someone she doesn't know I'm terrified he's going to read the posts on her public wall and find out where she is or where I am. I happen to know he fears his parents finding out that he talks to people online, watches porn, masturbates, etc and so I did some sketching of my own. I found out from the white pages that he lives at home with his parents and I got his parents phone number online. I know the cops won't be able to put an end to this, but his parents might be able to. Should I call them and let them know their son is a horny pervert stalker or should I not? If I should, what should I say?
