Q: What should I do????????????????
I was involved in a car accident a little more than a month ago, and the other driver was totally at fault. I guess she saw a police car coming and without checking or using her turn signal, side swiped right into me, breaking my side view mirror, damaging my door from even opening all of the way, and possible damaging my axle (the wheel is impounded and wedged) and also a fair amount of cosmetic damages. My car was pretty new, and none of us were speeding.

Now, she was found to be totally at fault, and she didn’t give any insurance information. I currently have Safeauto liability insurance, and get this: I first purchased the insurance coverage in March, and as of today, have not even received my first set of proof of insurance cards or anything. I have sent in multiple requests for my proof of insurance, and haven’t received anything!!!!

Now, I have gone to police departments, been off and on the phone dealing with police officers, insurance representatives, and anybody else trying to find out what her insurance was, whether or not she even had any, and what I should do about my insurance policy not even talking to me. I have pretty much done the work of both my insurance company, her insurance company and many others, including the other driver. Also, she showed proof of her insurance that very same day, and got her car release.

I received a ticket, which I will have to pay if my insurance doesn’t send me my cards, and I also have put in my claim with her insurance company (which she neglected to even do yet, by the way!!!) as well as tried to contact mine. They recently sent an assessor to the tow yard to check out my car, but every time I try to see where things are, they are always “away from their desks”!!!!

I just want to know what I should do, do I have any type of case against my insurance company for negligence, or her insurance company and whether or not they will pay for my car or me to get a new one. I also wanted to know what course of action I should take if she wasn’t covered under any type of insurance, and I should sue???? We are both Illinois residents, where insurance is mandatory under the law.

A: how ever this turns out if i were you i would find another insurance company one where you can walk in and talk to your insurance agent and pick up papers when you need to and find out what is going on… for this one you might have to sue to get anything done…

Q: moving to a different city after highschool?
I currently live in Texas and i want to move to Chicago Illinois when i graduate highschool with my best freind. Im going to get an apartment. If you want a decent apartment in that area that isnt “ghetto” then your going to have to pay around $700-$800. Im not going to have a car thow because im going to use mass transit which is also cheaper than having a car (i calculated.) im going to live cheap ( go to parks, use coupons) The only thing about it is ill be getting my first job, so i dont have any experience yet. but i want a white collar job that pays ok (around 10-15 dollars an hour.) Im intrested in working at the front desk of a hotel(im not sure how much they make) or maby be a flight attendant. and how am i going to get a job online before i move up there (monster, careerbuilder.com)? because they wont be able to interview me when im all the way down here.and also how am i going to move my furniture up there if i dont have a car? and i dont want to pay an outrages price on movers either. i want a adult to answer all those queshtons for me please.AND DONT TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF IT! JUST ANSWER MY QUESHTONS!!!

A: if the area isn’t ghetto you’re going to have to pay closer to 1000 for a one bedroom in chicago. chicago is extremely spread out, so public transportation isn’t going to work in all areas. very few jobs will hire people out of state, you’ll need to have a local address first or else they’ll probably throw your resume away. getting a white collar job with a high school education at 10-15 an hour is going to be tough going unless you work in computers. career builder is a waste of time, they get thousands of applications a day. you’re best off trying to find temp agencies, and then do temp to perm

you’re better off selling your stuff. it will help you get the cash you’ll need to survive. moving your stuff will be expensive. try to get everything you own into one box.

Q: Going in to the realworld can somebody help me?
Im 15 years old and first i should let you know my plan for the first 10 years of being in the realworld.I currently live in Beaumont Texas a minor city outside of Houston (Beaumont population: like 200,000) i want to move up to Chicago as soon as I turn 18 to start my adult life. The reason why i want too live here is because its just like New York city very urbanized and has a awesome skyline , it has a good/big gay community, i dont like like it down here theres abunch of cons about texas and 3,000,000 illegal imigrants come over the mexican border every year and settle in texas sence its a right to work state and they take all of our jobs and make it harder to find jobs and you get paid way less than up north. However up there you dont have that problem because Illinois is not a right to work state. As my first job i either want to work at a “highend” clothing store sush as Saks, Burberry, Ralph Lauren etc.,a pharmacy such as CVS, or Walgreens, or a cell phone store like Verizon Wireles which u get good comision at those are all good career categories i have interests in.

I hope to work my way up to assistant maneger and then maneger. those places i mentioned most likely have a assistant manegement training program for peole who dont have degrees. If i start working there how do i get into that program? How long will it take to become assistant maneger?

when i start off as just a team member i will probably make minimum wage (about 7 bucks) times 12 hours a day times 5 days a week times 4 weeks in a month which will make me $1680 without that certain percent of taxes or social sucurity or whatever it is they take out of your earnings taken out .I want a studio apartment, i dont want a car thow cause im going to use public mass transit and put like 500 into a savings account each month to buy a suberban house in Arlington Heights or Lincoln Park when in my mid to late 20’s and have $500 left to pay other bills with/ go out to eat with / shop with. Moving to a new major city im faced with having to make freinds from scratch with co workers or join a fitnes center and make freinds with some regulars there or at some other venue like a resterant or somthing.

take this information and give me feedback of information about all this it can be about anything. i just want suggestions/comments/help/info from a 3rd party. because when i talk to my mom about it she tells me its cold up there and tries to talk me out of it when part of my reason of wanting to move up there is to get away from my nutty family and this environment down south (thats another story) lol.please help me!!

A: It is always good to have a plan, but you need to realize that the plan will not always go as you wish it to.

You will not immediately get a management (or even assistant manager) position, and a lot of jobs do not allow 60 hour work weeks, so that is going to diminish your ‘expected’ income, according to your plan, drastically. In fact, when first hired many companies hire on a part time basis because it allows them to give the new employee a ‘trial’ and they are not required to provide benefits that they must give to full time employees.

There are going to be many other people wanting the same job position you want. You need to make yourself stand out. To do that, you need an education. You do not mention how old you are now, but I woudl get a job now so you have experience. It will increase your chances of getting into a managerial position quickly. Do not drop out of school, though-in fact, you should look into taking classes at your local community college.

There is a recession right now, and jobs are hard to come by because many companies are having to downsize. You should save up money, because once you get to Chicago, it might be several weeks or even months before you find a job. Be open to working in somewhere you find less-than-desirable in order to earn an income while you look for your dream job-it might be McDonald’s.

Also, lets investigate your income. 1680 a month is NOT a lot, and after taxes it is going to be closer to 1200 a month. You will save by not having a vehicle (gas, maintenance, insurance, and of course the cost of the vehicle itself) but you will have to pay for your rent (which I know is 7-800 in smaller cities-Chicago is likely to be more), your public transportation, your food, clothes, medical expenses (you will not have insurance, I assume, because that will eat up your income and most companies do not provide it until an employee has been with them for a period of time), not to mention a landline, cell phone, cable/satellite, internet, electricity, water…

If you want to buy a house, you are going to have to have outstanding credit as well-so you need to make certain none of those bills get behind or it is going to effect your plans for a future home).

It IS cold up there, but that is not a reason not to go. If you want to move there, by all means do but you need to have a better plan than you have now-it is a good start, but it is not “real life”. And, while you might not realize it now…a lot of young people spend their entire teen years wanting to run away from the one thing they long to return to when they are older. I understand crazy family (I have them), but they will also be your greatest allies in life unless they are abusive or something.

I do wish you the best…

Q: Are These Condoms Useful Anymore?
Ok I bought a pack of condoms around January 15th and I have kept them in my inside side pocket of my purse so that they would always be with me and my parents would not find them. I live near Chicago, Illinois so we have been having some pretty cold weather this winter, I never leave my purse in my car but I take it everywhere with me so it comes with me when I am in car rides or if im outside keeping my friends company that are smoking (I feel bad if my friends have to go outside alone to smoke so I just go with them to keep them company). So my question is are these condoms still good to use?? or will the cold weather have ruined them?? They were really hard the night after I spent the night at my friend’s house because his room was very cold (I didn’t have sex with him, he is seriously just my friend and more specifically my best friend’s boyfriend). I waited for these condoms to get warm and loosen up again and I waited like a week after that before I used them. Also since I use this purse a lot and sometimes just throw it on the ground, is it possible that the condoms have been rubbed up against the side of my purse too much?? The answers to these questions are very important because I have already used some of these condoms
The condoms have not ripped but I am just wondering if sperm is going to be able to get through them because they have been exposed to these conditions.

A: When you heat something up, cool it down, heat it up, cool it down, it does wear down the material. *especially purses are exposed to so many elements from humidity, to cold, to warm etc.

That is why condoms are advised to stay in a neutral environment and not to be exposed to extreme conditions and altering conditions.

The material’s elasticity and its effectiveness will decrease. The liquid (sper.micide) inside will also be affected.

It is best to throw those out and get new ones. They are at risk of ripping, tearing, holes and sper.micide not being effective in the cond.om.

I don’t recommend your purse, back pockets, or anything that will cause heat, friction or be exposed to changing environments. If the condoms are sticky, discoloring, feel hot or way too cool (as it doesn’t take long at all for degrading of the condom to happen in those conditions) or that you question its effectivensss, do not use them.

Best to store in cool and dry place.

If you think you might have a sexual encounter that day, take one or two condoms out of the box and store them in one comparment in your purse, zipped up to not expose light and use with in that day, if not sooner for best mind at ease results.

If an encounter doesn’t occur, it is up to you, but I advise to not use those condoms after that day went by if you exposed to many elements that day.

The rest you can properly store in your room or a good location in the home if you are afraid of parents finding them. But it is best to not destry all condoms since you will be out of money and risk of std’s/pregnancy at a higher rate if you have unprotected sex.

My sister (I roomed with her as teen) either hid them in her jewelry box (which was like mine, three rows with a top lid. She put them in a box, in the middle row. Our room stayed fairly a good temp.

Q: Is it legal for the police to bring someone in for questioning with only this much evidence?
We live in a small town in Illinois. My 17-year-old brother is sort of a town “hoodlum” and has gotten several tickets for skateboarding and underage drinking, so the cops kind of have a thing against him.
A couple nights ago, my brother was at a restaurant in town. Then he and a friend decided to go to McDonalds for dessert and he rode with his friend and left his car at this restaurant. While they were at McDonalds, the restaurant was robbed. When the police showed up at the restaurant, they recognized my brother’s car in the parking lot.
So tonight, my brother was out walking down the street, and a police officer pulled up near him and told him to come to the police station. They brought him to an interrogation room and asked him why his car was at the restaurant that night, who he was with, why he left, what door he used to enter the restaurant, etc. Then they let him come home.
I’m sure he had no involvement in the robbery, but regardless, did the cops legally have the right to bring him in and quesiton him like that, just because his car was in the parking lot at the time? Did they have the right to just grab him off the street like that and bring him to the police station?
It’s not that I’m worried about it, I’m just kind of ticked if it wasn’t legal because the cops are always picking on my brother for things he didn’t do. It’s sort of like racial profiling, except it’s “skater profiling” instead. But the first person to answer is probably right — that it was legal — so if that’s the case, then I guess I’m not SO upset, since his car was there and all.
Mr Placid, no, my brother’s CAR was at the restaurant that was robbed, while my brother himself was at McDonalds.

A: Yes, they can ask him to come in for questioning because his car was there. He has the right to refuse.
LOL at Nicholas (above) cops do stuff all the time that they shouldn’t. Most of them think they are above the law.

Q: Where is the Global Warming Today?
It seems that every extreme weather event is somehow blamed on global warming (with of course the exception of Hurricane Katrina- which, according to liberals, was Pres. Bush’s fault).

Today it is -5F in Illinois, before the wind chill.

Your flesh will freeze.

You will die if you go out unprotected.

Why aren’t the Global Warming Devotees blaming this cold spell on the use of fossil fuels?

The Nobel Prize winning, Self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet, Al Gore, blames global warming on people like me.

I’ve done my share- I’m an American, my car only gets 29 mpg and I use a gas lawnmower.

Of course my lifetime energy consumption will never even come close to Al’s.

Since Global warming is my fault, I want some of it.

A: I’m with you,where is the f g global warming.P.T. Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute.we need to stop this stupidity express before it destroys the country.http://globalwarmingheartland.org it really is sad to see one of the answers from a brain dead kid that has become a brainwashed gorite.

Q: Breaking News illegal immigrant was trying to blow up the building what do supporters have to say now?
New York — An Afghani man indicted Thursday in an alleged terror-bombing plot was due back in a Denver court Friday. Federal authorities said he is at the center of a conspiracy that may have targeted commuter trains in the New York City area.
In Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and New York, the FBI has uncovered homegrown terror plots. 24-year-old Najibullah Zazi who federal agents said planned to bomb several New York City sites was back in court Friday.
The charge of lying to a federal agent in a terrorism investigation was dropped against Zazi in Denver, but he now faces more serious terrorism charges in New York. Officials said he shopped at beauty stores for bomb supplies.
He purchased unusually large quantities of hydrogen peroxide and acetone. Those same ingredients were used in the 2005 London bombings.
Richard Clarke, Former National Security Officer said: “I think this is as close as we’ve come since 9/11 to having a major terrorist attack on U.S. Territory.”
Thousands of people were inside this 60-story skyscraper in downtown Dallas Thursday when the F.B.I. said 19-year-old Hosam Smadi, an illegal immigrant from Jordan, was trying to blow up the building. According to authorities, he parked what he thought was a powerful car bomb in the tower’s basement.
But it was a sting operation. The bomb was fake.
“I mean, it’s scary. It’s definitely scary to think that it was that closed to happening,” said Rachel Powers who works inside the building.
In Springfield, Illinois, the F.B.I. was coordinating another sting operation. In this case officials said Michael Finton, also known as Talib Islam, tried to blow up a federal courthouse with a van he thought was loaded with explosives. But they were phony
Federal authorities said the cases in Dallas and Illinois were unrelated but the arrests were coordinated so neither suspect would get cold feet as they attempted to conduct their operations.

And we don’t have any home grown American citizen, domestic terrorist?
Belle
Belle that is not the point. He is illegal he is not suppose to be here. He is wanting to blow up a building.You do understand thousands of people could have died if this were a real attack ? Wake up Belle, this not monkey see, monkey do, you see ??

A: This is exactly why a nationwide crackdown on illegal aliens is needed. From the ones who came across the border to the ones who overstay visa’s. We have no idea who these people are or what their intentions are. It is not worth the citizens of this country to sit and sort out their intentions.

Q: Problem with neighbors…?
I live in an older home with poor insulation and windows. We live on a very noisy street with a lot of traffic – foot and motor. There isn’t much I can do about that.

BUT, the people who live across the street are a nuisance! From what I can tell, it’s a single mom with two kids (a boy about 17 and a girl about 14). The mom is NEVER there. And when I say never, I mean I see her truck parked there maybe once or twice a week. It used to be there daily, so I assume she’s gotten a boyfriend where she spends most of her time. But even when she was there a lot, this issue went on. The problem is the son. He has friends over every night during the summer, and even a lot when school is in session. They stay till all hours of the night SHOUTING at the top of their lungs, horsing around, cranking car stereos, revving engines, etc. Sometimes there is a group of 15-20 teenage boys out there till 3am. My son and I are usually woken up several times a night by them.

The easy solution is to call the police, right? WRONG! When I first moved in about 2.5 years ago, I called the police and reported this behavior when it first occurred. The problem with that is, in our city, if you report a problem to the police, you have to be willing to sign off on the report. So, the police got to our block, parked, got out and talked to the kids who mainly dispersed. THEN, they walked across the street to my house and knocked on the door and asked me to sign off on the complaint. As you can imagine, I was harrassed non-stop by the boy and some of his friends over the next few weeks. They egged my car one night, and to this day walk over to throw garbage in my yard.

The next step I took was to call the police and file an anonymous complaint. The only problem is, if you won’t guarantee your signature on the complaint, the police are very slow to respond, if at all. I tried this a few times, but it took them hours to respond and once they just didn’t show up, ever.

But even then, the boys guessed that it was me who called and the verbal harrassment started back up as I was walking from my car into my house.

Several times, other people in the neighborhood have called, but I keep getting the blame. Sometimes they will just take it out on me after I’ve seen a cop car there, and I wasn’t the one to call. One guy kept yelling “WHITEY DON’T LIKE A (n-word) UP IN HERE.” about 10 times in a row. (I guess I should mention I’m the only white person for about 4 houses in each direction.) They’ve made disgusting comments about me being on my period, called me every name in the book, etc.

I’ve tried contacting my council representatives, got no answers from either of them. I’ve tried the police, obviously. I’ve reported the house to social services, several city departments, etc. No one ever answers back. I know that it would be ridiculous to think that I could talk to the mother (if she were ever there) because she’d likely be as hostile as she’s raised her son to be.

What do I do? The reason I stopped calling the police is because my husband works third shift and I’m home alone overnight with a 19 month old toddler. I’m nervous they might try something dumb by messing with my house or even trying to get in while I’m there alone with him at night. And I don’t want to have to shoot anybody. But they keep blaming me every time the cops get called on them, so even though I’ve quit complaining, I’m nervous they’ll still try to retaliate because they think it’s still me.

At my wits end with this, and just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

PS – It’s midnight here in Illinois, and I just heard glass breaking, and lots of whooping laughter and shouting from over there. They keep breaking glass bottles on the sidewalk and street in front of my house, and I keep having to sweep it up, so I guess I’ll find another one out there tomorrow. It’s like being hijacked in my own home…

A: You need to defuse the situation, I know it will be hard but you really have no choice if they think its you that’s calling they are eventually going to get really mad, they are at the age where they react before they think……..you have to swallow your pride and talk to them walk over and tell them your sorry you all got off on a bad foot but that when you called before you were under a lot of stress and not sleeping and you over reacted you realize you should have just spoke to them yourself.Don’t let them know they are still bugging you, just say something like I know your just teenagers having a little fun, but you have to know I’m not the one calling the police and I’m not sure who is I would even go as far as buying an extra bag of hamburgers one day and say the drive thru accidentally gave you something you didn’t order would they like it……..my point is kill them with kindness and eventually maybe they will calm down a bit, maybe even start with the extra bag of burgers…….I know this sounds ridiculous when they have caused you so much grieve but for your family’s safety you have to make nice and then figure out a way to move.
I’m sorry your having such a hard time. The mother will get you no where, she will probalbly say your picking on my kids.

Q: An ex blogged a death threat from another state?
my ex has openly blogged on a public blog that when he sees me again he’s going to kill me. Not only that he goes into how he’s going to kill me, dismember me and dispose of my body. He goes into pretty graphic detail.

He DOES know where I live. However, he moved to another state. He has money and a car, and knows my address but he’s pretty far away from me. So I’m not sure how serious to take this.

Several people were alarmed by this particular blog, because he uses my real first name in it and the specific details in the threat seem grusome and heinous. But when I read it I thought he’s probably just talking crap.

Still, if I were to go to the police, exactly which laws would apply to this. If he is in Texas and I am in Illinois, would texas law apply or illinois law? Would I call and make a complaint to my own police station or to the police station where he lives? If he only used my first name in the threat, would that even be evidence enough to file a complaint? Would complaining to the police help matters or just make them worse? What exactly would they do about it anyway? Talk to him enough to make him mad and leave again, or really do something? Would I end up having to fly to texas or him come here to go to court over it? Because I don’t want him here sleeping in some nearby hotel and mad as a hornet about having to come here to go to court or something… it seems to be tempting fate. I’m much happier that he’s far away in texas. And I certainly don’t want to have to go there to go to court over this stupid crap either.

I’m probably not going to do anything about this but I want to explore my options. What would happen if I report it?
It’s pretty much up where the police could read it right now if they wanted to. Could I maybe report it anonymously?

A: If you won’t do anything to report the crime (You’d report it to the Texas authorities and actually might not even have to go to court over it, since all the evidence to his crime is availiable for public viewing) the very LEAST you should do is move so if he tries to carry out his threat he doesn’t already know where to come to kill you.

Q: Very Cheap Boyfriend?
I’ve been with my bf for about a year (its a long distance relationship, he lives in Alaska, I live in Illinois). Airline tickets are very expensive for him to visit me…I get that. But he makes lots of promises which he rarely keeps (he’s gonna take me on a trip to Mexico, trip to Las Vegas, trip to Germany etc, which never manifested). He never takes me out unless someone else is paying for it (friends of his sister have connections and often gets free tickets…free concerts…free coupons for food etc…). He has yet to buy me dinner during this entire year. He took me to the movies twice but didn’t buy food, offered to take me to Subway for lunch once (I suggested a better place), once took me to a sushi place but only spent about $10 as he didn’t eat himself and bought me takeout chinese food once. Most recently, in the past 5 months, he’s been claiming he’s working on a multi-million dollar deal. Each month it’s, “the deal is gonna come through this week or the next”. I’m not a materialistic person at all, but I do like to be treated some time, you know? What girl doesn’t? Well, he’s in town this entire summer (I insisted so I could see what he’s really made of — if not crap, lol). Well what really pissed me off is my car is really old, so I just drive in the neighborhood and my job which is very close to home. But my bf has been asking me to drive him all over town so he can look at houses because he says once he gets his “big money” he’s gonna move here (I insisted he pay for gas) and anyway, my car broke down, and I had to have it towed ($100 out of my pocket). The engine is ruined because of dirty oil. My bf is an engineer (supposedly)…shouldn’t he have checked the oil for me right? The last straw was the next day was my birthday. He said, “I guess when it rains it pours. The bank froze my account so I can’t take you out on your brithday”. So I we went out so as not to be depressed on my birthday, but I paid for it. I also paid for all the food for a 4th of July barbeque we hosted at my house the day before. So I’m feeling really used. The sex is off the chain but that’s pretty much it. Is this guy using me? Am I’m being unreasonable to expect to be taken out during these rough ecomonic times?

A: I think you could dump the loser i mean your cheap boy-friend .. why? become he said he working on a multimillion dollar deal oh come on do you really believe that..? let be real here who pay thing all times you do right..?! and on top of that didn’t even take you out on your own birthday, you have paid for it..

Q: BF is rather cheap…should I drop him or is that being petty?
I’ve been with my bf for about a year (its a long distance relationship, he lives in Alaska, I live in Illinois). Airline tickets are very expensive for him to visit me…I get that. But he makes lots of promises which he rarely keeps (he’s gonna take me on a trip to Mexico, trip to Las Vegas, trip to Germany etc, which never manifested). He never takes me out unless someone else is paying for it (friends of his sister have connections and often gets free tickets…free concerts…free coupons for food etc…). He has yet to buy me dinner during this entire year. He took me to the movies twice but didn’t buy food, offered to take me to Subway for lunch once (I suggested a better place), once took me to a sushi place but only spent about $10 as he didn’t eat himself and bought me takeout chinese food once. Most recently, in the past 5 months, he’s been claiming he’s working on a multi-million dollar deal. Each month it’s, “the deal is gonna come through this week or the next”. I’m not a materialistic person at all, but I do like to be treated some time, you know? What girl doesn’t? Well, he’s in town this entire summer (I insisted so I could see what he’s really made of — if not crap, lol). Well what really pissed me off is my car is really old, so I just drive in the neighborhood and my job which is very close to home. But my bf has been asking me to drive him all over town so he can look at houses because he says once he gets his “big money” he’s gonna move here (I insisted he pay for gas) and anyway, my car broke down, and I had to have it towed ($100 out of my pocket). The engine is ruined because of dirty oil. My bf is an engineer (supposedly)…shouldn’t he have checked the oil for me right? The last straw was the next day was my birthday. He said, “I guess when it rains it pours. The bank froze my account so I can’t take you out on your brithday”. So I we went out so as not to be depressed on my birthday, but I paid for it. I also paid for all the food for a 4th of July barbeque we hosted at my house the day before. So I’m feeling really used. The sex is off the chain but that’s pretty much it. Is this guy using me? Am I’m being unreasonable to expect to be taken out during these rough ecomonic times?

A: Short and sweet: Long distance relationships don’t work. I’ll say that again; Long distance relationships don’t work. Honest, they truly don’t.

Okay, so SOME do. But a very, VERY large percentage of long distance relationships just don’t work. Might you be in that very SMALL percentage that DO work? You might. Do you wnat to hang in there to find out? Only you can answer that.

Now for the TRUE stuff: W/in that entire paragraph (whichj was really long), you had onlt one positive thing to say about this long distance BF. ANd THAt was the sex. So, I ask you, is the “off the chain” sex worth all the other crap that you wrote about? ? ? IS it?

Okay, now that you have answered your OWN question, if I were to suggest, go target your area to find a guy in a local vicinity. A local area might inlude w/in about a 30 minute drive. Now I am SURE that there are OODLES of guys in your age bracket w/in a 30 minute drive of where you are.

If by chance, you might try a dating site, here is one that is good AND it is free, free, free.

Q: What do you think of my story?
ok yeah right now all i want to here is constructive criticism. i know i have some grammar problems but i want to here about the story and stuff. i want to know after reading it would you want to read more.

Chapter 1: Open Road

I was sitting in the back seat of my brother Jason’s black 1972 Dodge Challenge, gazing out of the open window snug warn under a nice brown quilt. It was silent and my brother Jason as usual was driving he never lets Sean or me drive, and Sean was snoring quietly to himself in the passengers seat. I kept thinking about my past, it wasn’t a very pleasant one both my parents are dead. They were killed when I was a little girl. I was raised by my uncle he is a hunter (a.k.a someone who slays evil creatures!) he trained me and my brothers how to hunt. He always used to say to us “ a great hunter isn’t someone with a personal armory in their trunk: its the person with a well-developed, well-read and researched mind. The best weapon ever is the one sitting behind your eyes.” He was right a hunter like that will survive but I always carry a knife on me just in case, my brother Sean and Jason carry guns no matter what. Anyway we went separate ways awhile ago and now me and my brothers been traveling around the U.S. hunting ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, and what ever else goes bump in the night. It is a really hard life but it is my life and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I removed the quilt from my arms and bent down to pick up my dark blue backpack. I un-zipped the bag and started to dig through in it, it was full of clothes, my laptop and my black leather book. That book is my life it has ever thing about me all the hunts I’ve been on, Newspaper clippings, pictures of my mom, dad, and family. Not to mention I a few notes and poems! I finally found what I was looking for, it was my cell phone I slid it opened and looked at my text messages. There was only one new message, I clicked on it and read it to myself!
Hey Emma miss u!!

They own a hunter’s bar down in Illinois it pretty nice lots of hunters go there, to talk about hunts they been on and secrets. I hit reply on my phone and started wrighting.
Miss you 2 call me next time!!

RE: Emma P.
I hit send on my phone then slid it close, I put it in my bag and zippered it back up. Then Jason finally broke the long silence that had been going on for about nine miles straight.
“who did you just text?” Jason said is eyes still locked on the road.
“Penn why do you care anyway?!?” I said pushing the bag to the flour of the car. I kept staring at the back of Jason’s head his hair is a dark brown that kind of looked black in the right sunlight. His hair has always been spiked up no matter how old he got that was his hair style. His dark brown eyes were still locked on the road while he answered.
“ just curios don’t have to get all snippy on me!”
“ what ever!” I said rubbing my stomach. “Just when are we going to get something to eat I’m starving!”
“there’s supposed to be a gas station a couple of miles down we’ll stop there.” Jason said eyes still locked on the road. I looked outside the window again it was just another highway an old one probably not used much. I looked up at the trees they were just blurring by as we past them. I turned my head back to the front seat of the car Jason was fiddling with the radio looking for a decent song. When Jason finally found a song that he liked, he started sing with the lyrics of AC/DC -Black in Black he turned up the volume which woke up Sean.

A: you should edit it and fix the errors because i saw a lot of grammar and spelling errors.

but it sounds pretty interesting, but chances are your going to rewrite the first chapter a million times. the first chapter is VERY important.

Q: PLEASE answer-need help and scared-what should I think?!!!?
bf of 4 years and I got into some arguments last week (mostly over him having to lend me money again which I did return to him on Sunday but it’s happened alot). I screamed and yelled at him-he said some things to me out of anger he didn’t mean-it was just overall bad.

I went to work Friday w/him saying he loved me and I thought things were fine. when I got home from work Sat am there was a note on the door from him saying it was the hardest thing he had to do but we needed to break up-we eventually talked and he said no breakup-he just needed some time to relax and regroup. I left. came back to get some things sunday (thought he was at work) but he was home sick. I left a note in his car along w/the money I owed him saying I was sorry for intruding. he called me saying he was really sick but I could come in the house to get some clothes. we talked a bit and I offered to go to tthe store to get him some gatorade (he had really bad stomach flu) and said that would be nice but didnt want me to go out of my way. I came back w/it and hugged me saying thank you and that he loved me. I told him “just don’t make me feel used” and his answer was “don’t yell and scream at me.” which was fair so I said I was sorry and it wouldn’t happen again. then I told him if he was going to break up w/me to just do it-I can’t stand not knowing. he just said he was sick, needed to rest and needed a few days to sort things out and that he loved me. I left.

I called him this morning just to check on him and again told him I was sorry for yelling/screaming at him-nobody deserves to be treated like that. he never called back.

when I got to work tonite-his sister had emailed me (I emailed her a thank you letter for xmas gifts) and let it slip that my bf is leaving tomorrow to go back home (we live in az-his parents live in Illinois) for a visit!! he didn’t even tell me. I’m really scared that he’s going to use this time to breakup w/me w/out having to do it face to face. he’ll email or call me to tell me to get my stuff so that when he comes back i’m gone

I’m a mess right now. i’ve already given notice to my apts b/c I was supposed to move in with him next month.

I also found out that he worked last night when I didn’t and I could have come to get my things then (I asked him this when I was there on sunday and he told me not to get my things). so i’m really confused!!

what should I think? is he leaving just to get some air and destress for a while? or is he using this as the cowards way out to break up with me?!!

our anniversary date is tomorrow (not officially though-it’s 2-14 but tomorrow is still the 14th) and the last day i’ll have email access (at work-don’t have it at home) so he’d have to break up w/me while i’m at work.

what should I think? he acted like he didnt want to leave when I talked to him last-just really needed some time to himself.

i’m scared

A: Well, first of all worrying over it, doesn’t solve it…As hard as it is to think about, even if he does want to break things off, can you change it? There is a popular quote out there it says, “If you love someone set them free, if they come back they are yours forever.”… Just relax, and don’t panic. If your relationship is hearty, it will get through this…Have some faith in it…If it doesn’t survive this, then try to realize that it wasn”t built on a solid foundation to crumble so easily. I hope things can get worked out soon…As far as email goes…he can break up with you over email, but that doesn’t mean he is breaking up with you at work…He may send it to you thinking you will get it when you are home…or he may just send a how are you, I miss you email too. Just breathe and go with the flow a little bit. Take care. : )

A: I think we can all safely say we understand what your going through and we are all sorry. What you need to consider is How this whole situation is making you feel. Is this the kind of relationship that you can communicate easily with each other? When your not having such Angst, are your needs met? Ending something that has been so much a part of your life is difficult. I know how hard it can be, but sometimes, well mostly, it is for the best. When you make each other upset all the time it is time for some space. And even though you were reassured on Friday, that does not mean all is fine. Sometimes it take a while to sort things out. People are not simple little creatures, as in Shrek, there are many Layers!!! And sometimes a little thing can become a huge source of pain. Money is one of the biggest causes of divorce. That’s DIVORCE… paperwork bitter family issues and children. Imagine how it can damage any relationship.

Chin UP, No matter what happens you will be loved!
