  • I need honest opinions on if this would hurt your feelings?

    1) your parents and brothers never call or come over.. I mean NEVER!!!!!\

    2) your brother has a 40th birthday party and your not invited.( the excuse I get is that it was at a bar and I am not really a drinker) but I still would of went for the food and music..

    3) they took my nephew to a child amusement park and I was not invited.

    when ever I see my nephew its only when I make the effort and go see him at my moms( grandmas)

    I have been at my apartment 4 years now.. I live 3 miles away from my family and they have never been here.

    My mom tells me I am to sensitive.. Am I wrong to feel this way?

  • How important is it that your friends and family like your boyfriend?

    How important is it that your friends and family like your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife?

    My boyfriend is a really good guy.. He has a college education. He goes to church. He does not do any drugs or drink.. He is a really nice guy and I feel I am falling inlove with him..My friends are really great people and will accept anyone I date unless they are a bad person of course.. But the problem is that my brother and his wife judge anyone I ever date.. Because my current boyfriend is into go to church and does not drink etc I am sure they will make fun of him..

    I really notice this a lot on the phone..But he also does it in person..

    He will say something or you can tell him something and he giggle real low..

    He says its a tick he has...

    But I find it to get on my nerves..

    When I told him my uncle and cancer he did it.. I got pissed... He claims that he is not aware when he does it

  • This question is for someone in the dental field or someone who has peridontal gum disease?

    I had not been to the dentist in over 8 years ( I know stupid) anyways trust me I learned from this mistake.

    Ok so last summer I noticed my gums getting swollen and red.. So I tried to fix it myself with saltwater etc. Finally 2 weeks ago I gave in and went to see the dentist... I was told I have gum disease.. They did a deep root scale and sold me a rotadent electric toothbrush with some special toothpaste to use. This was two weeks ago today and my gums look so much better.. No more red swollen gums..I was told it will take 3-4 weeks for my gums to heal and I have to go back to the dentist at the end of March for a check up..Maybe more scraping.

    I have a few questions

    1) what will they do at my next app.

    2) what is a good mouthwash and toothpaste to use to help keep gum disease under control

    3) I was reading on the internet I might need to get teeth cleaned every 3 month? What is the future car for this..

    I must add I will never go years again ever without the dentist.. I now brush and floss my teeth like crazy so this wont happen again.. I have dental insurance but it sucks.. After the insurance picked up there part of the deep clean on my teeth I was still stuck paying $1500.. I cant afford this every 3 months...

    I can however afford a regular cleaning ever 6 months.. With good oral care in between...

    Thanks for any help you can give me

  • I have a question about my car damage.?

    I have a 2009 chevy aveo.. Thursday on my way to work I hit a pot hole really hard... It was so hard it felt like I hit a tree.. The tire never went flat but the rim on the tire was bent..I put the spare tire on it,and then Saturday went to a tire shop to get a new rim.. When there I asked them to check the alignement on the car..

    They checked it and then told me that I have front end damage.. They said the whole front is shifted and I need to contact my insurance company and then take the car to a body shop...

    He said maybe the frame is bent or that the suspension is shifted..He really was not sure,.. But said that for sure the car is shifted...

    So I have a app tomorrow at the body shop..

    So my question is what do you think it can be? And can it be fixed or will the car be a total loss..

  • i have 401k questions help?

    last summer (2011) I took a loan from my 401k of $3,000 I have to pay back $13.00 a week for I think it was 5 years. So right now I am about 15 months into paying off the loan..

    I have been at my job 17 years but things are really getting bad.. I know its never a good thing to cash out a 401 k but as a last resort if I had no choice and had to do it I have a few questions.

    I have $32,000 in my 401 k . I am single and in my 30s.. So I am not old enough to take it out without a fee..

    So with my load on the 401 k was think if I dont pay it back then I get a fee on that..Plus if I take out the $32,000 i get a fee.

    My question is this.. If I cash out the 401k $32,000 how much will I get back after taxes and fees. Keep in mind the loan I allready have out

    second question is will the bank take my fee and taxes off the top so i just get the rest and wont owe anymore at the end of the year tax time.
