For all teenagers. What do you think of my writing?




The door knocked twice. The old man got from his chair beside the kitchen table and opened the door.

“Hello,” A tall man, in a smirked shirt smiled as he placed a grey rope into the old man’s hand. “Do you need anything else, Mr. Dan?”

The old man grinned with his head drooping forward then closed the door.

He had something else on his mind; an image that hovered in his head since the day his daughter left him.

He could feel cold wings fluttering against his arms; the angel of death approached him, tiptoeing towards his chair.

Everyday he could feel the black wings drawing closer.
However, today, the black wings stroked his body gently, summoning his spirit bit by bit.

Mr. Dan placed the stool beside the table at the living room. He bowed down against the couch, dipped his hands between the pillows and took out the remote control. After pressing it, the TV droned with a dance song. Mr. Dan smiled and the remote control slipped down from his fingers, sounding over the wooden floor

How do I make a kitchen table look 'rustic'?




I have gotten all the varnish off and sanded an old kitchen table. The look I’m wanting is that rustic black look and I’m not sure what to do now. Do I use a spray paint or a paint brush? What do you put on the table after it’s painted so it won’t chip and so I can clean it?

I would say I'm losing my mind. Little help?




I would say I’m losing my mind.
I’m in college. It was a shitty semester and I flunked three out of six classes.
Not out of being an idiot, but lack of homework projects.
I flunked classes the previous semester and my mother told me she wouldn’t pay for my school anymore if I failed again… Whatever.
The thing is that… I feel a little stressed. I’ve been breaking and shouting at things.
I wanted to kill myself, instead I ended up singing gibberish out loud on the floor, while throwing kicks to an orange juice and balancing a stool chair on my neck. Also, I was breaking plastic glassware with a baseball bat and I tried chopping down a tree with said baseball bat until it broke.
So… I have no money for a psychologist, which I hope might help me out a bit.
I could go to a free psychologist, but my mother would toss me out of the house, because she’s of the idea that I must "fix myself". I’ve been doing so since I was five years old and now I’m breaking plastic-ware and shouting "Stop looking at me, motherf#cker!" at the kitchen table and the walls, while trying to have a decent conversation with the family dog.
I’d kill myself, but the thought of my mother crying won’t let me.
Any help would be nice. Thanks.
-Money… Ok, ignore money?
Ok. Thanks!
Damn.

-Ok, I’ll will.

-Eh, thanks for the healthy sarcasm.

-Unstress. Ok.

-Right on…

-Ok.
Seriously, at least That Girl admits she won’t help.

My puppy finished his perscription for coccidia medication a few days ago. His stool was getting firmer on the medication, but once it ran out, his poop got looser again. I took in a stool and urine sample to the vet because there was mucus in the stool, and she analyzed it and didn’t find anything. He was dewormed two weeks ago, and tomorrow will have another deworming pill, so I don’t think it’s worms. He has eaten a bit of grass and his food and water today, but nothing else as far as I know. I watch him like a hawk outside.

Anyways, just now he went into the kitchen and pooped, then under the kitchen table and pooped, and then into the living room and pooped, and then into his roomand pooped. It got looser and looser, with the last being a bit liquid-ey. He usually indicates he needs to go out by standing by the door, but this time he didnt do it.

I plan to take him to the vet tomorrow, but does anyone have any other advice? I am really worried about him.
To clarify, I am not worried about the behaviour of pooping inside, since he has been learning well since we got him. What I am concerned about is his health.

He is three and a half. about a year ago he showed interest and he would pee in the pot. Now it’s like he’s scared of it and won’t go near it without a fight. I don’t want to be pushy, but it angers me that when he has a bm he runs and hides behind the kitchen table instead of telling me.

I feel like I didn’t do enough to encourage him when he did want to do it, ( it was summer and we were outside alot), adn now that it’s winter and were inside, it seems logical that now is a good time to learn. Especially with a 4 year old neighbor that can wipe himself, and a 2 year old girl 2 houses down that’s been fully trained since 18 mos.

I’m beginning to become embarrased that he’s still in dapers.

Also we have one of those little potties that fit on top of a big potty, that’s what he doesn’t like to use.

Oh, and I think I’m going to take the advise of a resolved question and get him a stool to stand on to see if he likes standing and peeing better that trying to sit.

HELP!
Okay, I’ve bought a "special stool" for paying the cheerios game! And I’m gonna give him a pez dispenser, but he can only have a roll of candy when he uses the potty. Also I’m gonna take away his diapers this weekend. Starting tomorrow!

Wish us luck!

Parents: When your teens/young adults decide?




When you teenager 18-19 or young adult living at home decides to move out, what are you allowing them to take?

Like I plan on moving out as soon as my cars fixed and I have a job to support myself comfortably. I expect to be able to take my bed, any furniture in my room, my tv all my clothes, the desk in my room. The extra kitchen table/chairs and the spare couch in the basement.

Would that be too unreasonable?
What are you going to let your kids take when they move out?
Or
What did you let your teens/young adults take when they moved out?

time to leave her. How do i go about this?




details: live together in house for 2 years.
She cannot possibly make the payment on her own.
Only her name is on it so i could just go but i feel bad doing that
I also feel really bad leaving her 7 year old daughter.
Also when we bought the house i put up 3000 of my own money for downpay and payed half the payment every month. I dont think i would ever see that. I also bought just about everything in the house. Do i take the couchs, tvs, kitchen table, microwave, beds, patiio furniture, bbqpit, lawnmower, ect….?
she would only be left with one bed for her and daughter and a little tv.
the big issue is i know even a roommate would not work because she needs about 00 month from someone to make it work (i did the math)
I love her so much but i can tell she doesn’t love me anymore and has a plan to cheat on me (saw in email).
So staying with someone who wont let me touch her anymore and does nothing but bitch at me is out of the question. I posted up some issues we had on YA in the last couple days and everyone agrees to dump her ass. But what about her kid? what about the house? Should i wait till she actually goes thru with the cheating she is planning with this guy when he gets back in town in 10 days? Why do i feel so bad leaving her?

What is wrong with women in the SW PA area?




I purchased everything I need for a home of our own (mine and my NOW ex gf.). I have all the furniture, appliances, dishes, expensive cookware, kitchen table, etc….I saved up 00, so far, as start-up money….I asked her to marry me, she said yes…I know how to make love VERY well…Well maybe I am not THE BEST at it, but who is? And now I am stuck, single and alone…..She up and left me…of course for another man…All I want out of my life is to get out of my parents house and lead a life…Be exclusive to one woman…I can only hope it would be returned…so far…nothing….I even tried communicating my thoughts to her….She ran away….Communication is one of my best attributes…I look others in the eye when I speak to them…Is it me?
This would be my third relationship that has bit-the-dust….

Should I tell him about my situation?




I’m recently divorced, and met a WONDERFUL man about a month ago. Things are going well, and we seem to be getting serious. Anyway, this guy is obviously well off and I don’t have much of anything. Like I said, I went through a divorce and moved into my apartment with my son’s furniture and a kitchen table. The rest has been graciously donated. He’s seen my apartment, and nothing has changed. He has to know that I’m not exactly living high on the hog. My question is this… he’s extremely financially responsible. I have bad credit and very little in savings. When should I tell him? It’s only been a month, but we are moving pretty quickly.

My living room furniture is a coo coo brown
my kitchen table is a counter height deep reddish brown in color the table top has a med/thin black border. If you have any suggestions on kitchen colors that will go well with sprintime-6708 as that would be fine.

my ccat just wont stop pleassseee help!




my cat is about 3 and weve tried everything to stop her from jumping on our kitchen table and scratching furniture.. weve bought " sticky paws" which is double sided tape that her paws stick gently to when she scratches the couch and she learned quickly not to do it. the table on the other hand is a whole other story. for soooo long weve been tapping her in the back end and spraying her with the squirt gun yelling and everything nothing helps! the squirt gun will get her off but she will jump back up in about 5 - 10 min if not sooner. after shes squirted for a while she considers it a bath and will basically laugh at me when i tell her to get down. i am pregnant and cant get up as often as i used to and its almost like she knows i wont get up and force her off the table so the more she does it.. so does anyone have any suggestions before this cat drives me crazy?>>>

Me and my best friend are moving out together?




Me and my best friend want to move out together. I’m doing this mainly for her. She is my best friend and I love her to death. She grew up without much and she is a foster kid. The agency told her that she has to be out of the foster home the monday after she graduates. Which sucks for her because that doesnt give her much time to find a place. Today we went looking at some places. She now has her heart set on the last one that we looked at. They are nice apts but the 2nd room is tiny. We both want the bigger room, naturally. I feel that i should get it because I am bringing in more money and the way it looks, I will have to move in before she graduates to hold the place. She threw in my face that she is bringing in the kitchen table and the furniture. Oh and she has a bigger bed set then I do. The way it looks, this is going to ruine our friendship. I dont want that to happen. I’m about ready to tell her that she can move in with someone else. What should i do?

Why doesn’t my cat clean her butt?




My cat is a very clean cat. She is always cleaning herself but two days ago I noticed that she had dry poop hanging from her behind. I try to take it off with a warm wet napkin but it was to hard to do so I gave her a shower. Today her behind was completely covered in poop. I cleaned her again and eventhough she doesn’t like it and does everything to run away I did it. Why does she have poop on her behind. I had never had this problem with her. Is she not cleaning herself down there or is she sick. My cat is not fat. Last time I took her to the vet she weighed 7 lb and they did not tell us she is overweight. Is not a matter of she not being able to reach either because I’ve seen her clean herself there and around her bum. Is she being lazy. Her litter is always clean. Should I take her to the vet. She had worms before but was dewormed. I dewormed her last month. We have not seen any since.

For me this is a huge problem because she likes to climb our furniture and kitchen table. She also likes to sleep in our beds.
