I used to love the show 24, and I want to get back into it. What is the best way to get caught up on the show?

  • Posted on January 29, 2011 at 10:21 am

I don’t have time to watch all of the previous episodes, is there somewhere that I can just read quick summaries of each season? Or, is there a video that hits all the highlights that have happened in the show so far? Who died, who left, who betrayed, who came back, who came through, is his daughter still in the picture (Elisha Cuthbert), did he kick the drug addiction he was fighting, who is the president now, etc etc

My best friend’s husband endangered their daughter?

  • Posted on January 23, 2011 at 10:17 pm

Tonight while I was at work, my best friend Jen called me. Crying, she said that husband Tom had gotten violent. He was drunk (he’s an alcoholic), and he called their two-year old daughter Ashley over to him. She wouldn’t go (surprise, he’s a dead beat dad, he’s never around and when he is, he’s drunk and playing games on his computer), and he got angry and went to tell her that when someone calls her, she must answer. Jen isn’t sure what happened right after that, but she walked into Ash’s bedroom in time to see him slam Ash onto her bed. Ash wasn’t hurt, but she was crying.

Jen won’t call the cops because he’ll deny everything and then probably take it out on her. I think he’s hit her before, but she won’t admit it.

Is there anything I can do to help besides pray? She has a key to my apartment if she needs to lock herself in it, and she knows that. If I call the cops and tell them, I’m afraid of what he’ll do to ME. What can I do?! I am so afraid for my girls!
I am Ashley’s godmother. I have sworn before God to protect this child along with her parents, and now I am at a loss because it’s a parent she has to be protected from. My first goddaughter was murdered in march, so I feel strongly about my role. I know that I have no rights to this family, but I love my girls. I will NOT but out because inaction leads to devastation. I need advice!
Tom does work. She did not leave Ashley in the care of a “drunken lounge lizzard”, she was in the kitchen when it happened. And I will support her no matter what, she is NOT a loser!!

Is The Best Yet To Come?

  • Posted on December 29, 2010 at 7:24 am

As a child I was well cared for
The necessities provided
Sometimes a few extras too
But I had hopes and dreams
Wishes and lists
And my granny used to tell me
“Good things come to those who wait”

As a teen my life was harder
I worked to get by
Helped my mom and my sister too
No prom, No grad night
No dates, no fun
But I remembered what my granny knew
“God things come to those who wait”

As an adult I made choices to rush results
I wanted my life to be different fast
I worked and I played
Dreaming of the day
When my efforts would be rewarded
Some times were good
Others were bad
But I never gave up
Remembering what I believed true
“God things come to those who wait”

I had a daughter when I was single
And married another in haste
A man I knew was not “The One”
His pattern was simple
Drink, ignore and drink some more
With a few drugs spread here and there
I left that marriage
But I remembered my Granny saying
“Good things come to those who wait”

I am on my own now
Making strides to improve
I don’t ask for any help
Just someone to hold me
And dry an occasional tear
Lately it seems
I forget to remember
On more days than not
That my Granny was right
“Good things come to those who wait”

From now on I will remember
What my Granny always said
I will wait for blessings meant for me
Time is not a factor
Because I realized my past is just that
Today I remembered what I’ve known all along
“God things come to those who wait”
And My best, is yet to come!

My best friend is dating a drug dealer, and they have kids in the house. What do I do?

  • Posted on December 29, 2010 at 7:22 am

She has a daughter that lives in the house. He sells heroin and their roommate sells cocaine. He’s been to jail before, came out, was good for a while, and now is selling again. He also uses. She is in a world of pain, everyone that cares about her (ie, family and REAL friends) want to help her, but she just won’t leave. She falls for his lies … he’ll change, it’s only temporary, he’ll stop drinking and using, he’ll get a job. JUST as she was ready to leave, he switched it up on her. Now she’s finding it hard to go because she sees “small improvements”. I’m contemplating ending the friendship because it is causing ME sleepless nights and I can’t stand the thought of the police kicking down the door. She gets defensive when I say something to her and at this point is telling me to mind my own business basically, and that it’s her decision. I’ve helped her more than anyone ever, and it’s killing me to watch her spiral out of control like this. Friends and family have tried to have a mini intervention. I know that you can’t someone who doesn’t want help, but what is the point of continuing this friendship? I am on the fence because I feel like this is when she needs me the most, when she’s down like this. But do I let her bring me down in the process? Or do I just come back to her after she’s fallen flat on her face and help her pick up the pieces?

My daughter’s best friend…?

  • Posted on November 4, 2010 at 7:23 am

was just killed in a car accident about a week ago-a drunk driver going about 98 MPH T-boned her car, she was killed instantly. My daughter was driving right behind her-she saw the whole thing.

My daughter is sixteen. For the first day, she cried up in her room for hours. Then, it’s like she just..isn’t there anymore. She won’t eat. She cries herself to sleep at night. She’d lost weight. I think the only words she said today were, “I’m okay,” and “goodnight.” She says about three to five words a day, except for three days ago when I suggested she talk to a counselor and she blatantly refused. It’s like her soul isn’t there, she’s like a robot. Wake, eat, and sleep, that’s all that she does. I know she probably blames herself, and I know she’s hurting more than I can imagine. Yesterday, I found her in her room, holding one of her knives (she has quite the collection of weapons) and sobbing uncontrollably. I’m afraid she’s going to do something rash, possibly even kill herself.

What can I do to help her? I’ll do anything, i’d give anything if it meant giving her happiness again…I’m terrified for her. I can’t get her to go see a counselor, and she won’t talk to anyone.

Please help??

2 cliches”falling for my best friend”&”i`m the other woman” unbiased advice please?

  • Posted on October 30, 2010 at 5:23 pm

(this is probably gonna be long..im aplogizing and warning you beforehand…so please dont complain..)
and also…i know i deserve all of this heartache im sure..i cant blame anyone but myself, but i wouldnt take any of it back…i couldnt
but i am lost now for advice,
im biased in regards to his emotions anymore ,regardless of how long ive known him or close weve been,

“justin” has been in my life since i was 4..he was 5 years older than me and was friends with my sister..weve kept in contact over the years but nothing more than a ‘howve you been, hows your mom?’
within the past few years thats changed though,
hes somehow become my best friend, one of the few people who really gets me and i just actually enjoy being around..
hes not afraid to get competetive with me, he treats me the way i want to be, like a little sister almost,
justins been married for a few years now, and when i say that…dont think its what it sounds like…its an entirely sanctimonious union..
they break up constantly, because she never really liked the idea of being with ‘just him’ in the physical department.
i dont understand him at all why he stays, shes a horrible mother, and a more than lousy wife, let alone girlfriend..
(and no this isnt just me..this comes from alot of others, i just cant help believe it now, credible sources, such as his family members, our closest friends, his best friend even)

she doesnt treat him the way he deserves, and this life hes living is eating away at his heart,
i made the mistake,
i couldnt help it, but we became intimate..
this went on, off and on for about a year, hed always end up back with her
it didnt fully bother me, i was kind of at the same point of lack-of-emotion towards intimacy, and thought it was cool that ‘hey, my really good buddy and i have an extra way of bonding now..and were cool about it’
we had a complete and honest communication about it all…if i wanted to start dating someone, id tell him..wed take a break on that side of ‘us’
things seemed to be working out with them 2? wed take a break
hed talk to me about her..and i was the only one supportive of her..i even yelled at him a few times for seeing me when he was heartbroken over her
‘i`m only human’ hed reply.

well…enough people have me convinced that shes horrible for him…im convinced myself…because it only took a month or 2 of him talking about her, for me to yell at him.
just stop..shes never gonna change justin, and thats all i can say cuz you probably think im biased.

3 weeks ago, the ring was at home, a smile was on his face, and he kissed me in front of all of our friends at our weekly card game.
all he could say was how good it felt to be free to finally do what hes wanted to do..
we went home, and it was like magic,,,he wasnt my buddy anymore
and i realized i was falling for him…the way he kissed me, it was different..and i thought he was for me too..
the things he said, the way he acted,
he even said that he wanted to see what kind of a mother i was…he knew i dont bring men around my child unless im serious about dating them and having them stick around..
he knows all this, and asks me to bring my daughter to the park the next day with his..

that playdate never came…the week after that…i was livid after a few hours into cards..he was nonchalant, as if nothing had happened…just ‘my buddy’
he realized something was wrong, and he knew it was him, so we left early and we went back to my house.

he claimed he didnt remember it!
we had shared 1 pitcher of beer between the 2 of us, theres no way he was that intoxicated..
he apologized for it, and for hurting me..but then he started saying the same things!(obviously he did remember) only with more reluctancy..he proposed another playdate for our daughters (which im realizing now probably isnt a good idea until he and i get past this)

the problem is…she only wants him back, to stick around as a husband, and not just as a babysitter,when she realizes she might lose him…
ive dealt with this so many times before..
when she catches wind from our friends that he and i are hanging out
she goes in a fit, makes it so hes not allowed to go -anywhere- with -any- of his friends, and is up his ass,
once shes satisfied that hes not gonna ever leave her ‘alone’ with the kids, she goes right back to her ways, making out with random guys at the bar,(shes even come on to me!!!) living the life of a young college co-ed while her amazing husband is at home taking care of the children.

i know what hes doing right now, hes falling for it again, she caught wind of what happened the other night, him kissing me..
and she couldnt let it happen..
she apologized to him and begged him to take her back

they were almost completely finished!
justin was at his final wits end and seemed so accomplished,
he seemed so ready and final…he wasnt gonna put up with her crap anymore..he was going to better himself.they had been d

thank you guys for not being judgemental towards me…i already feel horrible as it is..i was worried someone would consider me a horrible person..

i know i need to let him go..its not really cuz of how long ive known him…its because ive never had anyone ive ever been so comfortable with..ive been married myself, and even my ex husband wasnt as good of a friend as justin is..

i do need to get over it..i cant hurt like this anymore

even if it means losing the only person who really ever understood me.who could tell always tell when i was lying that ‘nothing was wrong’ and could always tell why..

thank you guys..this is gonna take alot of strength
and to answer the one persons question..honestly i just wish i could take it back and never have fell for him..never have been intimate…i just want my friend back…
