If you had proof that a former bosses underage child was driving stoned and drinking, would you tell?

  • Posted on February 25, 2011 at 1:23 am

I stumbled across my former boss’s 16 year old daughter’s myspace page. She states on her profile that she spends her time smoking weed, and there are several pictures of her smoking a pipe, drinking beer, and behind the wheel stoned and laughing about it. Should I tell her dad, or should I just mind my own business?
My old boss and I aren’t “talk every day” kind of friends, but I left on excellent terms, and we have a cordial relationship.
Okay, so I sent him an email, and he replied “I checked it out, and didn’t see anything that bad. Get ready, it happens. She’s graduating a year early at the top of her class”….

Starting Sippy Cup/Free Flowing vs Spill Proof?

  • Posted on December 15, 2010 at 1:25 pm

When starting a sippy, did you find it easier to go with the free flowing valve or spill proof, and why?

My thoughts are the free flowing may be easier for baby to get the concept, while spill proof prevents messes while baby is learning….any other thoughts/experiences?

Im asking because my daughter has just sort of been playing around with the spill proof for about 2 months, and she only chews on the spout rather than sucks to make the water come out. She drinks from it, nonetheless, but Im not sure if she is drinking on purpose and realizes she is making the water come out, or if she is just thinks its a leaky teether. Wondering if maybe she will get the concept of drinking from a sippy if it were more free flowing. (She only gets water from the sippy, so messes arent really an issue, it will dry) Thoughts? Thanks!

Proof the World is nuts – Ratw 1 to 10?

  • Posted on November 8, 2010 at 9:26 pm

In Lebanon , men are legally allowed to have sex with
animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual
relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)

In Bahrain , a male doctor may legally examine a
woman’s genitals, but is prohibited from looking
directly at them during the examination. He may only
see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a
corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs
of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of
wood at all times. (A brick?)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is
decapitation. (Much worse than ‘going blind!’)

There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel
the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay
them for the privilege of having sex for the first time.
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for
virgins to marry.

(Let’s just think for a minute; is there
any job anywhere else in the world that even comes
close to this?)

In Hong Kong , a betrayed wife is legally allowed to
kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with
her bare hands. The husband’s illicit lover, on the other hand, may be
killed in any manner desired.

(Ah! Justice!)

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool – UK
but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)

In Cal, Columbia a woman may only have sex with
her husband, and the first time this happens, her
mother must be in the room to witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia , it is illegal for a man to have
sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was such a huge problem that
they had to pass this law?)

In Maryland , it is illegal to sell condoms from vending
machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be
dispensed from a vending machine only in places where
alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the
premises.’
(Is this a great country or what? Well, not as great as Guam !)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an
hour. (Who volunteers for these tests?)

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30
times its own weight and always falls over on its right
side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of???)

(Did our government pay for this research??)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)

An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish don’t have brains.
(I know some people like that, too.)

And, the best for last?

Turtles can breathe through their butts.
(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

Thank you all for reading this, if you need to reach me
in the future. I will be in Guam !!!!!!

Can the father of my 6mo daughter win full custody if he has proof I drove DUI with my baby in the car?

  • Posted on January 2, 2010 at 10:00 pm

All throughout my pregnancy my ex-fiance was abusive towards me and he also smoked crack on a weekly to daily basis and he had no job except for cash jobs here and there. I was afraid to notify authorities of the drug use and the physical abuse situation at the time because I didn’t want to send him to jail when I was pregnant because I was scared of being a single mom. I did not use drugs at all while I was pregnant, and I had a full time job and went to school part time while he did not work and would smoke crack. I have documentation that the police were called to a domestic situation (he was violently beating me) when I was 3 months pregnant, but at the time I did not press charges because I was scared of being a single mom, so the report is limited and does not include the extent of my injuries (I suffered a concussion and I can still feel the spot on my head where he bashed it into the floor a year later). I was very hard on him verbally because of his drug addiction and as a result he began cheating on me while I was 8 months pregnant. I did not know this at the time and all that I knew was that he was not coming home and I was 8 months pregnant and I needed him to be there. One night when he had called me and told me he was not coming home for the night I told him that I was taking a sleeping pill because I couldn’t handle the stress he was putting me through, and then I was going to bed. He then called the cops to my house that night and the cops told me they had to take me for a psychiatric evaluation because he had told them I was suicidal. I voluntarily went for the evaluation and after talking with a therapist they could very easily see that I was fine and they sent me home within a few hours. I am certain he has obtained the police report for that night and will use this against me in court to say that I have mental problems. A few weeks later we broke up and he went to live with the girl he was seeing, who lived down the street. This was obviously very upsetting to me as by this point I was 9 months pregnant. It is a well documented fact that stressors like this during a pregnancy is a very strong indicator of risk for postpartum depression, so I began seeing a therapist right away to work through my feelings about the situation. I also began reaching out to my friends and I have always kept a journal to gather my thoughts and I relied on these resources to get through the difficult time. I was told that I could take anti-depressant pills however I declined the pills as I also chose to breast feed, and I felt that I am mentally strong enough to tackle my emotions on my own. When I gave birth to our daughter he made the entire time increasingly stressful and only visited the hospital a total of three hours, and refused to help pick out a name for our child. He also brought police to my house the day I brought my daughter home from the hospital, asking the police to escort him while he got his belongings from the house. When I told the police I had just brought my newborn daughter home that day and that it was not a good time, they agreed to postpone the escort for a couple days. He also was violent with me showing up at my house a week later to retrieve additional items and this resulted in an order of protection that was active for 2 months until I had it removed to enable him the ability to see his daughter. Although it was stressful for me to see him and this affected my milk supply, I was also frustrated that he was not making any efforts to see his daughter and so this was a double edged sword that stressed me out both ways. I thought that by lifting the order of protection he would not have an excuse any more to not see his daughter. I was wrong and he refused to see her. I stopped seeing the therapist due to a lack of time when I returned to school part time and work full time because I was confident keeping busy would help me to heal and that I was able to handle the situation on my own with the support of my family, friends, and my own intelligence. But unfortunately one night, when my daughter was 3 months old I was drinking after my daughter had gone to bed and I made a very bad decision. I wanted so badly to tell him what an awful piece of shit he was that I put my daughter in the car and drove a quarter mile down the street to his new house to confront him. This was a bad decision and he called the police and the police report will show that they gave me a breathalyzer and I registered just under the legal limit for a DUI. The police did not arrest me and they simply sent me back home, but I am sure he has obtained a copy of the police report and he has now filed paperwork to sue me for full custody of my daughter. I do not normally drink and that was a single night of error and I give my daughter everything I have. She loves going to daycare and I visit her on my lunch break every day and I have a good job and my family and friends help me out with her a lot so that I have a bala
I have a balanced life of work, family, and me time. I do not want or need him in my life, and although I think that at some point he should be a part in her life, I dont think that now is that time because she is just six months old. He has never changed her diaper, he fights not to pay child support and i am afraid he is still violent in his new relationship. He says he doesn’t smoke crack anymore but I do not believe him. I am convinced that he has done everything he can to manipulate me into looking like the bad guy when he was the one who couldn’t get his act straight for so long! I wish I would have called the cops on him while he was smoking crack in my house or beating me so I would have the kind of proof he has on me that makes me look bad. I know in my heart he is the real bad guy, but i know the courts will only look at proof, not what I know in my heart. My question is, will they take my baby away from me because of his evidence?

Psychological Tricks To Getting Your Ex Back

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 7:15 am

Just broke up and too devastated to think straight? Just what do you do when you desperately need to get back with your ex? Before you type in that 100th text message, you need to know that pouring your heart out to your ex at this point is pointless and lame. Your ex won’t come back knowing that you miss him or her like crazy, because psychologically, the hungry dogs don’t get fed. Get it?

Let’s say your dog suddenly stop whining for food, maybe even hangs out with your neighbor more than you. What just happened? You start to think if your dog is sick….or could your dog have dumped you for your neighbor? At this point, you are paying more attention to your dog, showering it with food and attention….even if it’s just for your own curiosity. Aha! The moral of the story? You must know how your ex’s mind functions to gain an unfair advantage to get them back.

If you are honestly looking at the reasons of your breakup, you’ll probably see realize by now that the breakup happened as a result of the inability to change the other party. Did you fall short of her expectations of a perfect partner or do you stop trying once you know she won’t be the woman you wanted her to be? Many break ups happen because “it doesn’t work out”, or “we’re not compatible” because your ex did not behave in a way you want him or her to behave.

What this means is that if you can convince your ex that you have changed for the better, there is still hope for getting back together. You stop trying to change your ex, and start showing your ex that you have changed for the better. How? One way of doing this is by showing that you have taken the time to assess the break up and came to the conclusion that you are willing to make some adjustment to help the relationship. Proof your point not just by speech but by the things that you do. This will give your ex the impression that you do care deeply about the relationship.

Note that you do not want to suggest getting back together or show interest in reuniting. You simply better yourself so that your ex will change his or her perspective on you (as in tricking your ex into thinking that you have changed, but in reality you are changing your ex’s mindset about you). By doing this your ex will definitely rethink about the relationship that you shared and whether he or she really want to walk away from it all.

At this point, the two of you would be in a guessing phase, just like in the beginning of your courtship, since the chemistry is there but there was no known intention of reconciliation. This dynamic is sexy and is a fresh change from the coupled life you have led together, serving as a fantastic platform to reignite your love for each other. What you can do at this point of time is to ask your ex out for casual session of coffee just to catch up. Conversation topics should be light and nice, and talking about past relationship problems is strictly not allowed. You are here to recapture the lost feeling of being in love.

What can you do to nudge your ex to come back to you when you are not suppose to express the intention of making up? At the very least, you need to let your ex feel what he or she is missing. Little gesture that you used to do for your ex such as remembering important dates or reminding your ex of some happy memories together can go a long way to influencing your ex to reconsider the break up.

Getting your ex back using these subtle psychological approaches gives you a much higher success rate. After all, we’re hard wired to think and behave in similar ways, with strong influence from our instinct and emotion. The real task here is to make your ex think that he or she want you back, instead of telling them outright.

Getting back with your ex is a delicate task, and you must never left out the details on how to react when your ex response to your strategies.Do not take chances because you may not get a second chance to get your ex back once your ex
see through you. Visit http://www.WinningExBack.org/get-ur -ex-back-magic-of-making-up.html today!

Visualization-See your goals before you reach them

  • Posted on July 1, 2009 at 9:05 pm

There is no question that goal setting is an incredibly important step when it comes to actually achieving the goals you set for yourself in life. You may know what you want in your mind, but by actually writing down specific goals on paper or on your computer, you help to make these goals even more real and you allow your mind to focus on getting there even more.

There is another trick that works perhaps even better for helping you achieve your goals and it is called Visualization. Visualization is pretty simple, you visualize yourself in your mind doing something and then you work to achieve that picture that you have created in your mind. You see, your mind can’t necessarily tell the difference between what is actually happening and what you are IMAGINING. So in effect, using the techniques of visualization alone can actually make you better at whatever it is that you do. A study conducted of college basketball players demonstrated this in details. In the 1980’s, a study was conducted that demonstrated the effects of a group of men actually practicing their basketball skills for 6 weeks versus another group who simply visualized going through the drills in their head. As it turned out, the group that merely visualized practicing showed as much or in some cases MORE improvement than the group that actually practiced the drills. While this was only on experiment and can’t be proof positive that this concept if foolproof, it does demonstrate that this concept may have some real merit.

One of the reasons why this exercise may prove effective for someone looking to improve a skill or reach a goal comes down to one simple thing…focus. When you are visualizing something, it can be much easier to focus on it than by actually doing it. Sounds like a weird concept, but here is an example. Imagine you are playing basketball yourself. You have to dribble the ball down the court and make a basket. When you are actually playing the game, you have the opponents to deal with, your teammates, the folks in the crowd, the sound of the buzzer and perhaps even other stimuli that can get in the way. It can be hard to focus on truly improving your game at that particular time. Even if you aren’t playing and are just practicing, your focus can be diminished by anything else that exists around you at the time. When you are visualizing, however, all your focus is on the skill you are trying to improve. You can spend time analyzing every detail of your moves…what works, what doesn’t, how to move your body in such a way to make you even more effective on the court. How to plant your feet before you make a shot and many other areas of the game you want to focus on. By visualizing, you increase your focus.

The key question is how do you do it? Visualization is easy, but first, rid yourself of distractions. You want a quiet room, but it doesn’t have to be completely dark or void of all noise. The goal is to focus, not go to sleep. Simply close your eyes, and picture yourself doing whatever it is that you want focus on. Perhaps you want to lose weight…then picture yourself thinner, or perhaps picture yourself running an extra mile every day. The more you can picture yourself doing or achieving whatever it is that you want, you will be much closer to actually getting there. The more specific and detailed your vision, the better your results.

No one is saying to stop actually DOING, but by adding the technique of visualization, you can help support your other efforts and you may just reach your goals much faster than ever before.
