I know how you feel. But acting/singing business is actually much harder than you imagine... the competition is tough, and you won't have stability that comes with technical jobs like nursing. You must be much more talented than others to make it in that industry... so your mom is just watching out for you. Don't you think it's a little harsh to say that your mom doesn't want to do anything big in her life? If you are not convinced, you will see what I mean once you start looking for jobs (whether you continue to pursue performing arts or decide to do nursing). If you have talent and you want to go for it, then go ahead. Your mom can't stop you even after you graduate and become independent. But it's really good to keep your options open just in case you change your mind... I speak from personal experience that I don't feel like sharing.

Give her a reason why you want to take lessons. Maybe you could tell her that acting helps you speak up for yourself and builds your self confidence, by acting in front of others. Think of other reasons too. You have to learn how to speak loudly in a play, and you will be able to speak louder in real life. Hope I helped! :]

I faced a similar problem, but don't look at it as your mother trying to hold you back or something. There are some fabulous actors/singers out there who will never become famous because the business really is tough. What she's trying to do is protect you, and I bet she's saying a whole lot about you "thinking about a real future" right now. She's not being unreasonable, but that doesn't mean that you can't come to a sort of midpoint between what you want and what she wants. When I graduated high school, all I wanted to do was act. I dropped out of college and started working in theater, but unfortunately unless you have a union card theater doesn't pay. Now I'm working towards an associates (and soon, a bachelors) degree, and acting on the side. I average about three plays a month (don't do what I'm doing, it's exhausting!), and though I don't make anything off of them unless it's dinner theater, I really enjoy myself while still working towards a teaching degree, which my mother approves of and that I like as well. Now, my mom likes to read my scripts with me, and comes to opening and closing night of every show I do. I'm sure that there are some local theaters in your town that you can audition for. Being able to dance is a HUGE boon, because even if you live in small town, USA there are typically a whole lot of musical shows being performed and they'll want people like you. As for acting-- there isn't anything you can't learn through experience. Audition for little parts and start to learn through the actors around you and soon you'll be just as good (if not better) and you can try out for those lead roles.
4 :
Audition for school plays or teen groups and then show her that you can be in shows and still keep your grades up. Wait until you're at least out of high school before you audition for anything big. Tell your mother how you feel about theater and that you wish to try it. If you compromise and are reasonable, you may get your way.

It was probably because of poor breathing technique. Breathing is an EXTREMELY important part of singing. You should learn to breathe from the diaphragm, not the lungs, and learn when to breathe (in a song). Ask any singers you know, or search the web for more info.

This can usually happen when the high pitched sound pinches the nerve in your brain causing your brain to over work and then stop and display an effect of Light - Headed. Don't worry I play the Piano and violin and get Light-headed sometimes. :)

What kind of musical group (choir or symphonic band) comes to mind with this name, "Hymns for Him"
What kind of musical group (choir or symphonic band) comes to mind with this name, "Hymns for Him"?
I'm researching to help start up a group of band students in middle school and high school to play as small ensembles, (like duets, trios, quartets..etc.) solos, and actually band pieces at my church and maybe a nearby nursing home. We'd play hymns and church-appropriate songs. This is just the beginning of everything! :) I was thinking of the name for this group to be Hymns for Him, but I'm thinking it may sound more like a choir group rather than a symphonic band. Thank you :)

Surgeons: how many residents are usually on a certain patient with you
Surgeons: how many residents are usually on a certain patient with you?
I watch some medical shows and I was wondering if you could point out some inaccuracies. How many scrub nurses in an OR? When residents can begin to do "solo" surgeries without the supervision of an attending? How many patients a doctor might have at one time? Communication between doctors? Personal assistants? Floating to other professions like radiology or the ER? Are you usually consulted from the ER or are you searching for patients there like in Greys Anatomy? sorry for all the question. I am 16 and curious to medical professions. Thank you! that cleared a lot of things up for me!

Medical shows are totally inaccurate. In a minor operation there would be one nurse assisting /passing instruments/ counting swabs and another as scout who gets equipment that may not be at hand. Scouts might roam between two minor OR/ OT in Australia. More nurses assist in major surgery OT. Residents in Australia are first year out of med school, so they would not be operating. In USA that probably/must be different. Doctors can have many patients - they work in a team - the consultant, a consultant trainee, a resident; so the work is shared according to level of skill. Consultants are called to ER or Radiology as need be on their consulting days. If they are not called they are doing rounds in the hospital visiting their inpatients or in the clinic seeing outpatients.
2 :
"How many scrub nurses in an OR" On nurse is scrubbed and assists the surgeon by passing instruments and other stuff. There is then one float nurse who answers the phone in the OR, gets supplies, and arranges the odds and ends needed for surgery. "When residents can begin to do "solo" surgeries without the supervision of an attending? " This is a unique thing, and for the vast majority of residents they are never allowed to perform surgeries without an attending surgeon present in the room. Some specialties, like neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery which have longer residencies, allow senior residents to do some limited operations without attending present if they are eligible to sit for the board certification exam. "How many patients a doctor might have at one time?" If you mean in the hospital, it all depends how busy their call nights are and how many operations they perform. Non-operative specialties like internal medicine, family practice, and pediatrics usually carry more patients than surgeons. That being said, the most the average surgeon would have in the hospital at an one time would probably be 10-15 (including consult patients) "Communication between doctors?" Doctors regularly consult one another on patients. This could be a surgeon asking an endocrinologist to mange a patients diabetes while they are in the hospital or an internal medicine doctor consulting a surgeon. It really all depends on the patients condition and the doctors ability to treat it. "Personal assistants" More and more doctors in all specialties are employing medical assistants and nurse practitioners to assist with patient care. "Floating to other professions like radiology or the ER?" For practicing doctors this almost never happens. For residents it is quite common. For example in many neurosurgery residencies, the residents are required to spend time in the radiology department studying neuroradiology and time in pathology studying neuropathology. "Are you usually consulted from the ER or are you searching for patients there like in Grey's Anatomy?" Almost all specialists share the same motto here: "STAY AWAY FROM THE ER, AND WHEN CALLED GET IN AND OUT!" Specialists almost never just hang in the ER, since whenever you do, the ER staff will ask you to see this patient for something or that one for something else before properly working them up themselves. This leads to the specialists spending extra time in the ER and wasting a lot of time on patients that they would not normally need ot see if the ER had done its job to start. So usually the specialists will wait to get called from the ER before going there.

Do I really need a dam
Do I really need a dam?
I'm in my 40s. My man wanted to marry me and provide for me so I can take care of HIM. He hates me now cause I flipped the script (changed my mind about him). I'm not a doormat. I've experienced all types of losers and I want to be married for the rest of my life, but, why can't I be with someone who I know really loves and cares about ME? Not another loser who needs a nurse. I'm at rock bottom, raised my kids solo to adulthood and I know I can still reach a couple goals for myself as long as I have health and determination. Love or no love, do I really need a dam (him) blocking the flow of my river? Won't it happen for us anyway if it's meant to be for us?

Your question indicates that you have followed similar paths before, and not liked the results you had found. What you are proposing with this man is a marriage of convenience. This might be all fine and good if you wish to live loveless and under his thumbs, so to speak. The law doesn't necessarily provide for such arrangements, and if he decides to stop "providing" for you, what then? Your best bet is to either stay single, or to attempt a real relationship with a man who loves you for you. Personally, I think that you may need some professional help if you have been selling yourself short in this way as your description suggests. You have been choosing desperate men who will resent you on many levels... why?

IDK; are you a beaver?? LOL. If he is making you into a doormat then hell no, it's time to dump his sorry ass. But if he is only trying to achieve his own goals and needs your help until he does then you married him and you should at least give him that chance. Know what I mean?

Is he treting me unfairly
Is he treting me unfairly?
Been engaged for 2 years to a man who has serious financial obligations to his ex and children. I like his kids but feel as though I can no longer pay half of our household bills, he makes about 4 times what I do. I'm a full time student and I work but it is not enough money. I'm tired of being left alone untill 10 every night. For the last year I took care of his elderly father who recently went into a nursing home- because I'm no longer doing this he says he can no longer subsidize my cell phone and 40 buck a week health insurance. I know his kids come first but should he cut me a break on the cell phone and insurance untill I finish school in 2 years? I feel as though 100 percent of my income is going to our house. I have a child who lives with us that I support entirely but with my income I cant subsidize his kids to. He pays there rent, tuition, books, utilities on apartment, and the ex 2200 a month- altogether he pays out about 65,000 a year which leaves us with little and my child really poor. Should I move into a cheap affordable appartment and go solo? Before you bash me and say we are not married keep in mind I pay half the house expenses on a house that I dont own and never will also I spent the last year taking care of an 86 year old man with alzheimers his father and it was not easy. I'm really glad his kids have no struggles financially but mine does.

Well that's weird that he has to pay so much money, i mean.. is ok to have to pay child support and alimony which is required if they were married for a long time.. talk to him and let him know he has other responsibilities but if thats the money he is required to pay .. deal with it, when you get with a men with kids you need to be strong enough to deal with all the problems that come with it.. and if you dont want to go through this.. then leave him.

is your child his? if not he still has his own obligation sorry that doesnt leave much to u

Before you bash me and say we are not married keep in mind I pay half the house expenses on a house that I dont own and never will also I spent the last year taking care of an 86 year old man with alzheimers his father and it was not easy. I'm really glad his kids have no struggles financially but mine does.

Well that's weird that he has to pay so much money, i mean.. is ok to have to pay child support and alimony which is required if they were married for a long time.. talk to him and let him know he has other responsibilities but if thats the money he is required to pay .. deal with it, when you get with a men with kids you need to be strong enough to deal with all the problems that come with it.. and if you dont want to go through this.. then leave him.
3 :
is your child his? if not he still has his own obligation sorry that doesnt leave much to u
4 :
you really did get the short end of the stick on this one . . . sorry but he's not thinking clearly or fairly

I just need to vent. Tell me if im being neurotic and over reacting... Am I making the right choice
I just need to vent. Tell me if im being neurotic and over reacting... Am I making the right choice?
I am finally seriuly thinking about leaving my live in boyfriend of 4 years. Tonight was the last straw. He told me yesterday that he might go out with one of the reps at his company at some big bar for this guys b-day... he wanted to "role solo", in his words.. cool with me, we see each other every day. But he told me today he does not really want to go, and he probably won't. I go to work out, and im gone for 30 minutes and he is gone. No note, no nothing! I call him and he tells me he woke up from his nap and just decided he was bored and he wanted to go to the bar. Fine by me.. although I was a little ticked at the fact that he could not even tell me goodbye, he knew where I was! At the apartment complex gym! He told me he will be home in and hour or 2 (at 6pm). He has a problem with liquor, so now all he does is beer, but he drank liquor for the first time last night in a while... maybe opened up pandoras box? because normally when he is just doing beer he is home soon, but it is now almost midnight and no sign of him. Not even a phone call, or a text message. I have called him numerous times becuase I am worried about him drinking and driving, but he does not answer and does not call me back. I text him and told him that I am pretty much done. I have been dealing with this crap for a while. I have gained a little weight that I am trying to work off, and he is on this kick that I need to weigh 118 lbs, and I am 5'8! I want to be at 130, but he disagrees. I work part time because I am a full time student trying to get accepted into nursing school, and a lot of the times he tells me whenever we have an argument that I bring nothing to the table because I make less than him. He also tells me that he can do better than me and that when he goes out alone, he has attractive, successful girls hitting on him all the time and he wonders why he is with me. Never appologies because somehow I brought it on myself... That is why I am so pissed that he is not answering his phone now! I have no trust in him. I am not even attracted to him. When he wants to be intimate, he will say stuff like "put ur lips around my cock", or "i wanna tare that pussy up"... just stuff that is not even romantic. It is hard to even lay in the bed with him without him trying to grope me and say "Oooh, I love your tits!!! Wanna fuck?"!!!!!! Ugh! I live 8 hours away from my family so the only thing that is holding me back is the drive, and the fact that I have 2 lovely cats that I cannot take with me. We can't even really sit down and talk without having an argument. I feel like I have to agree with everything he says or I will get made to feel like shit. I am just an angry bitch right now! Also, I recently cosigned on a truck for him becuase his credit is shit. And now that is hanging over my head. He is not physically abusive, just not mentally attached to me it seems. Whenever I have a bad day at work, and want to talk about it, there are times where he will say stuff like "Your day does not compare with mine.. I have real problems, you work part time, how big can your problems be?" He does not like my family really because they don't have much money, therefor he does not think they are worth shit to him because they aren't in the position to help us out, and in his eyes becuase I am the one bringing him down, they should send lots of money. I go to school 14 credit hours. I did work a full time job that allowed me to do my homework on the job, but because I was not busy enough at my job he basically made me feel so bad about it that I quit. The economy is so bad that the only thing I have been able to find is part time, so I filled the rest of my time with classes, so now I am stuck until May when the classes are over. Then sometimes he will say "Just work on getting your ursgin degree, that is how you can help us out the most"... My head is just spinning right now. I am at a crossroads. I don't know what to say to reach him, and make him feel as if my opinions and feelings matter...

I am sorry that I barely found this article, I am big fan of reading about real problems rather then one liners that people put on there so here is my two cents, but hopefully you won't need this and you will be able to go on with your life HAPPILY! First the alcohol, that is a problem and him not drinking is something he knows is an addiction, that sucks because when the first drink comes its over. It becomes the next drink and then the next drink. Before you know it, it has become the addiction all over again. Verbal Abuse... Your confidence will be nothing very soon. Absolutely nothing. This type of abuse reminds me of a southern movie or something about a woman coming to empowerment. The reason I say that is because you are no longer treated as a princess or even loved like one. I am a male and trust me I have my cravings. Not every part of intercourse is making love HOWEVER every time you both do this, its not even close. Every time he is living a porno with foul language. Your body is sacred and special... He does not respect you in the least bit, he believes that you are well beneath him. (There to SERVICE to him.) For what ever reason, to boost up his ego, to make himself feel superior, or just to be the so called "Man" either the case it is wrong. Plane and simple wrong. You are worth way more then what you are given credit for. You are the submissive person in the relationship and usually there is nothing wrong with that. Having to dominate people often times creates greater conflict but can be very fun at the same time. Your case he has beat you down so far that you words shocked me. " I feel like I have to agree with everything he says or I will get made to feel like ****." So you are saying that its totally ok not to have an opinion any longer, you are saying as living person you can't think for yourself. He is selfish, he is unappreciative. I promise you this will escalate even though you say that there is no physical abuse, but trust me there is. Abuse is present. I am sure you are thinking about his good qualities to justify him. But all you are doing is saying that it is ok. I am sure things started out great, love etc... They do not exist any longer. Finally, your question... Is there a way to reach out to him? Yes, leave... That's the only way he will understand the severity of the issue. You need take accountability because at this point you have said that its ok for him to tell you all of these horrible things and at this point you are changing your ways where this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated! (Accountability is means to understand where failed, however this isn't justifying his actions by any means.) Good luck and you are welcome to email me at anytime as a friend to talk to. ADAM

Freaking out about college admissions, need your thoughts
Freaking out about college admissions, need your thoughts!?
I am a Junior in High School and I have always been accustomed to receiving great grades, which in my book is all A's. My sophomore year I slipped a little bit though and received a B in my Honors Algebra II class, but Math is most definitely not my strong point. Not only did I get a B in a class, but I also had two A minuses. My cumulative unweighted GPA after my Freshman and Sophomore years was a 3.9. This year though, everything just seems to be going wrong. My grades read as this... Spanish IV- A Debate- A Honors Physics- see-sawing between a B+ and A- AP European History- A Trig and Functions (without a doubt, the hardest math class in my school because of the teacher and the academically rigorous two day tests)- a most lovely C Choir and Gym- A's My unweighted GPA is just around a 3.6 and I am worried out-of-my-mind that this is going to ruin any chance I have at getting into a school of my liking. Obviously I am aware that GPA isn't the only factor taken into account during the admissions process, but I can't help but worry about my seemingly dreadful year. I am a fairly well rounded student. I partake in several clubs, like Student Council, Mock Trial, Key Club, and I am a Thespian member of Drama club. I am also a large part of my school's choir. I was officer of my sophomore choir and will be officer once again next year. I am in my school's elite choir, Chamber Singers, and our own Glee Club called Broadway Bound. I have continuously placed Superior at Solo Ensemble since 7th grade and was one of two Freshman to make it to State at my school that year, and have gone ever since. I also have played the violin since age 4 and traveled to Costa Rica and Washington DC with my touring elite violin group to play non-profit concerts and teach local children. Also, since age 10 I have been attending summer College-Prep programs. I attended three programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison starting at age 10 and continuing throughout middle school, and two summers ago I was admitted and attended camp at Columbia University in Manhattan for Law. This past fall I was invited out of 250 students in the US to attend a National Youth Leadership Forum on Law in Washington DC, and this summer I plan on going to a summer program at either Brown or Georgetown for Journalism, along with taking a month long quest to South America for community service. I am also a member of NSHSS and volunteer at my local food and clothing shelter and play my violin at nursing homes regularly. I have not yet taken the SAT or ACT, but am signed up to do within the next two months. My projected ACT composite is anywhere from a 31-33, and my PSAT score was in the 90% in the country. So, with my credentials, do you think there is a remote possibility of me getting into schools such as....(granted I have a killer essay and improved grades from this semester) Columbia NYU Georgetown UConn UW-Madison UGA UCLA USC Pepperdine Brown Northwestern Thanks for taking the time to listen to me drone on.

Wait until December of your senior year.. that's when you start having panic attacks.. oh is it just me? While your ECs in music are fantastic, C is definitely going to count against you for the Ivies... sorry. Not sure if they care about stuff you have done before high school, but those camps may also help you... my family could not afford camps so I also did something else instead. What's your passion? Is it law? If so, can't you go get some real life experience at a law firm? I like physics and I have researched and will research more for professors. To increase your chances, consider submitting a music supplement. Your GPA won't KILL your chances, but write good essays. I don't want to get into that too much. Columbia - Reach (As it is for everyone) Georgetown - Not sure/didn't research, but I assume reach UConn - Match? UW- Madison - Public.. should be in.. UGA... dont know UCLA - GPA is a bit low, but we'll have to see weighted GPA: Match, low reach USC - Low Reach? Pepperdine - Low reach/reach Brown - reach Northwestern - high match Really unsure about some schools, and it is hard to tell with your PSAT scores. My PSAT score was a 191 and was a 93 percentile... that means it's a 1910 SAT and is a pretty bad score. I increased it eventually but if you did get below a 2000, a lot of your match schools would become reaches. Don't report your SAT if it's bad, but I'm not sure if you could really get away not reporting. Good luck! You really do have impressive music E.C., like I said, be well rounded and write good essays and get good recs!

Do you think Robert Plant has sold out to be an American Idol
Do you think Robert Plant has sold out to be an American Idol?
How old is Plant? Sixty something? 60-61? He's fairly close in age to Paul McCartney 66 and Mick Jagger and those guys are like nursing home and assisted living old. How does this English bloke sprout more hair at 60 plus years than most Brits sport by age 30? I wager that could be a Led Zeppelin hairpiece. He looks like Brian Seacrest with long hair and a soul patch. So what do you guys and gals think of Plant teaming up with his niece (she is certainly young enough to be) Allison Krauss? I never cared for Plant's falsetto shrieking in Led Zep but the bluesy acoustic stuff he did with Page was decent if he kept his range below falsetto drag queen screeching tones. Personally, I think he should stick to Led Zeppelin reunions or get a Zep like band going solo. This teaming up of these two was a slick marketing ploy that has obviously sold well but it has the artistic merit of a collection of advertising jingles. If all that glitters is gold, Plant is certainly making up for lost time being a pop star and buying his Stairway to Heaven on a marketing scheme that makes Brittney Spears seem like a legitimate folk singer songwriter by comparison.Should the Plant/Krauss follow up CD be entitled "Whole Lotta BS"?

Great thing about bands like Led Zep, The Stones, and the Beatles is that none of them stayed within the strict frame work of 1 genre. All three allowed influences of many types of music both past and (at the time of creation) present. Stones and Zep had songs either tinged with, or were written as country, reggae, jazz, blues. Most bands now are crucified ifthey dare step out of a very tightly defined genre. I applaud Plant for making music that is different from his norm. It keeps him and his sound fresh.

Is it worth being a second wife to a man who is never home before 10 at night
Is it worth being a second wife to a man who is never home before 10 at night?
Been engaged for 2 years to a man who has serious financial obligations to his ex and children. I like his kids but feel as though I can no longer pay half of our household bills, he makes about 4 times what I do. I'm a full time student and I work but it is not enough money. I'm tired of being left alone untill 10 every night. For the last year I took care of his elderly father who recently went into a nursing home- because I'm no longer doing this he says he can no longer subsidize my cell phone and 40 buck a week health insurance. I know his kids come first but should he cut me a break on the cell phone and insurance untill I finish school in 2 years? I feel as though 100 percent of my income is going to our house. I have a child who lives with us that I support entirely but with my income I cant subsidize his kids to. He pays there rent, tuition, books, utilities on apartment, and the ex 2200 a month- altogether he pays out about 65,000 a year which leaves us with little and my child really poor. Should I move into a cheap affordable appartment and go solo? Before you bash me and say we are not married keep in mind I pay half the house expenses on a house that I dont own and never will also I spent the last year taking care of an 86 year old man with alzheimers his father and it was not easy. I'm really glad his kids have no struggles financially but mine does.

ya you shouldn't be with someone in his situation.. You are both going in different directions in life. You would be happier on your own for now, and meeting a guy who you can start your own family with when you're ready. I'd imagine it is burdensome to have his responsibilities and children forced on you.
2 :
idk where being home before 10pm fits in here. But if living with him creates financial stress for you and your child, MOVE OUT. like you said you arent married and its not your house. I think you need to reexamine why you are getting married. His kids and ex will always be a factor. Make sure you are marrying for love not for him to be the breadwinner. it looks like thats not gonna be possible.
3 :
I don't really think he should have to pay for your things. Because as you've mentioned he has children to care for. But he shouldn't be taking care of his ex. Unless they have some legal agreement. He isn't ever around, so yes move away and go solo. You may be able to get insurance for yourself and your kid and get help with bills and such through the assistance office. You'll have to check with your local one. Because it may vary from state to state. I don't know much about this relationship with him. Is he working all that time or just going out and having fun. Honestly you need to do what's best for your baby. And since your money is paying half of everything in his home, you need to get yourself out of there. It's not your home so I don't know why you're taking care of it. I understand helping out. But he also has to understand you're in school and have a child to care for. So your money has to go to taking care of your kid and you. Yes leave.
4 :
Your husband has it made.Did you ever think that you deserve better than that.Such disrespect on his part.When you develop some self-esteem you will see how easy it is to tell him to take a hike.Learn to love yourself and the rest will follow.You deserve more than being a slave to someone.Save your $$ and go.Run...Good luck.
5 :
To me it sounds like he's using you to help him out with HIS life. He doesn't sound like he really wants a romantic relationship with you. You've been engaged for a while now and he doesn't want to pay your cell bill because you're not helping HIS father anymore? That's selfish. I'm afraid that if you stay with him you will still be unhappy for the next 2 years. Not that the money should matter but that's a lot of money he's paying to his first family. YOU still exist. He has to remember that. Where is he so late every night? And what if you get pregnant and he has another child to support?? You have to think about YOUR child and yourself. I'm sure you can make it on your own. You have a good head on your shoulders and you need to start a new phase in your life...withOUT him. He's obviously not ready to start a new life with someone new yet. I really hope it works out for you. Good luck
6 :
You are truly getting the short end of everything, as is your child.. yes, I feel that it is time to move out on your own to find someone who does not have this much obligation and baggage.. he is not taking good care of you, and it does not look as though he values you in the same light as he does his other obligations.. you will be much happier with someone who can give more to you in many ways..
7 :
You aren't subsidizing his children. You are subsidizing HIM. I think you need to consider your childs future as much (if not more) than some man's financial needs. Sit down together, talk, review the household budget and take things from there. If he's not willing to compromise on something else for your phone and insurance you know you have other things to think about.
8 :
I would lovingly point out that you have said a lot of what you don't like and don't want. Have you put as much time into thinking about what you do like and what you do want? I think that may turn this whole thing around for you. When your goals are clear the path is clear and when the path is clear you will know if you are on the way exactly or if these things are all aside from that path. Is he supporting your schooling? Is there anything from this relationship that supports your goals? Do you just want to be swept away and on a beach somewhere without thinking of your future perhaps? Do you live each day reaching for an image that has no qualification or grounding in real life circumstances? I'm just saying your picture is a little lopsided. Where are the things you do want in relation to this picture? That's all. You can live through this if it's on the way to all the things you want. Good luck friend

i think you may have to have a discussion with your fiance about this. But if the problem has reached a point where you feel that he gives more attention/money to his ex and kids maybe you should just tell him your moving out until you finish school or he can figure out what is important remember don't burn bridges just close them for maintenance

If I were you I wouldnt do it he is just being cheap and probably using you for you money so he dont have to spend his

This is where I stopped reading: "For the last year I took care of his elderly father who recently went into a nursing home- because I'm no longer doing this he says he can no longer subsidize my cell phone and 40 buck a week health insurance." Ok ... I'm not going to mince words or sugar coat this ... just so you know before you read: Your guy is a creep. He's a selfish, self-centered, tightwad JERK. I will now finish reading the rest of your post ... but I doubt I'll read anything to change my mind. Nope. I didn't read anything that's changed my mind. Your guy is being totally ridiculous to split hairs over money, when he makes 4 times what you do, and when he can CLEARLY SEE that you're struggling. What kind of cretin treats a woman like that? He doesn't respect you. He doesn't love you. Your kid is watching you and learning from you, how to be treated by a man. This is BAD right now. There's nothing positive I can say about any of this, hon. As tough love ... I have to tell you that you've made a mess out of this, and it kills me to say it. I KNOW that you're doing the best you can, and that your heart is in the right place ... but good intentions aren't the point here. You have to extricate yourself out of that house A S A P. You ran yourself ragged taking care of his father, and THIS IS HOW HE THANKS YOU !?!! HE'S A CREEP !!! What is so loving, tender, sweet, romantic and admirable about a guy who treats you like he's treating you? He doesn't RESPECT YOU !! You're not equals - he sees you AND TREATS YOU as someone beneath him in stature and income - and that's just sad. Basically ... he's a snob, and he's treating you like the hired help. Do whatever it takes, but get out. No this relationship isn't worth saving. Spend NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR on anything that doesn't involve taking care of yourself and your kid. Give him NOTHING. N o t h i n g. I know that your self-respect is around there somewhere ... make sure you figure out where he hid it, and take it BACK before you leave. I know ... some of this was harsh, but it's no worse than HOW HE IS TREATING YOU ! I just smacked you over the head with it. You probably didn't want to see it, but you have to, hon. *big hug* and best of luck to you

What I suggest you do is to search for your mother so that you may visit her, search for a job over the internet or look for advice from someone in order to save your home, unless they are going to use the funds to pay for your mothers care. But focus most of your efforts on the job search because you are going to need that money in future and you need to start thinking and caring more for yourself. It is hard when these things happen to us and I know what you are going through as it happened with my parents too. But your mother wouldnt want you to suffer and she would want you to continue on with your life as best you can.
2 :
There is some law about if a parent is in a nursing home, their home may not be taken away from them. Try to talk to someone that specializes in the elderly or with people in nursing homes. Maybe a social worker at the hospital that was treating your mom can give you advice along these lines. I am sorry for all the stress you have put up with. I hope you will be feeling better again soon. Please take care of yourself.
3 :
are you your mothers legal guardian? if so you have every right to go and take her back home as long as you can care for her. You need some counseling I take care of my disabled daughter 24/7 and I know how hard it is mentally and physically. If your not her legal guardian you should go to court and get it that way no one can tell you what to do concerning her as for your house you can go to the bank and refinance it that will save you from loosing it. Best of luck to you hope these suggestions help you out alittle bit I am really sorry to hear of your troubles I am not a Dr but if you need someone to talk to email me I will do whatever I can to help you out friend.

Why do I feel like a failure...why am I being hard on myself
Why do I feel like a failure...why am I being hard on myself?
Today was one of the worst days I've had in a long time. I missed my flight to S. America in the morning. I've been playing this trip out for 6 months. I just graduated from nursing school and thought I'd give myself a travel gift for 6 years of hard work, sacrifice, and plain not having a life due to studying so much. I paid $3400 total including flight. I've never traveled before let alone been on an airplane. I planned this trip out for myself...a solo trip w/ a tour group. Couple of friends bailed out but that wasn't going to stop me from going. Well, since I wasn't too familiar w/ the rules I showed up 1 hr 40 min early and was turned away b/c I had to be 3 hrs early. My older brother wasn't too supportive...they said it is common sense...then how come they didn't tell me as they dropped me off the airport. It's easy to point the finger, but why didn't they speak up. I was ignorant of the rules. I don't know what happened but I started to be really hard on myself, was crying a lot throughout the day, and felt like a failure. Tried to find another flight but unsuccessful...there is one in a few days but I don't have the money to pay the difference in ticket...I honestly put my last dime on this trip so I had just the right amount. My parents are financially in a bind...they heard me sobbing over the phone but they could not help. Then I just started to pity myself...I hated myself for doing this today. I'm a beautiful inside/out as many people say but I'm alone b/c guys choose sluts over me....I'm "travel-less", and poor until I start work w/in the next month. Can't get a refund for my tour. Why was I so hard on myself? It's unlike me.

That sucks! You're clearly being so hard on yourself because this trip meant so much to you. I know you're feeling bad now, but it only just happened to you and you'll feel better later. Ignore your brother, don't take him so seriously. It is your fault, but don't beat yourself up about it, it's happened, and it's not the worst thing in world. You'll feel better tomorrow. Good luck
2 :
Hey, I would've done the same. Three hours seem excessive. Don't be pessimistic, maybe it happened for a reason? There's a lot of gang war happening down there anyways, wouldn't want to get caught up in that. Congrats on your degree though! (: Cheer up

i can understand where you are coming from but you are being a little too hard on yourself. and pls, you're not a failure. you just graduated from nursing, give yourself a pat in the back :) you'll earn that money in no time as a nurse

normally when a person goes into a nursing home and does not have the money to pay there way medicare will cover the first 30 days after that the state will take the ss check as payment and also attach any property in that person's name to be sold upon death to off set bills!!!

Sounds like the authorities stepped in to do what your mom would have never allowed you to do. Old, sick, folks get very belligerent sometimes and don't know what's best for them or their families. Don't fight it. Let her stay where she is. The nursing home will file proper paper work for getting her qualified for medicaid so that the nursing home bills can be paid. They have no such concern for you, and your mom is not homeless. You might be though. That means, if you don't want the lights turned off, find a job.

pardon big letters but GET HER ASSESTS FROZEN they can assign someoneoutside the family get a lawyer whateveryou call legal profession..been there done that good luck..

Forgive me, but the way your question is stated, it's a little hard to understand. I would suggest either spell check or stating a complete sentence. Questions like this need a lot of details. You do not state WHO put her in a nursing home, and with you having the power of attorney, this does not make sense. Unless she was not being taken care of correctly, adult protective services can step in at any time and take custody of her from you. Since you don't know where she was taken and what home she is currently in raises another red flag. You also state you were driving her 60 miles, but were you driving to her, or driving her to the doctor or? I just can't understand your question enough to give you proper answers. Again, it appears that Adult Protective Services has taken control. If you have Power of Attorney, you can contact an attorney and file proceedings to confirm control or her estate and her. If you fell apart and someone saw you do this, and you were reported to not be a good person or caregiver to take care of her, your rights could be taken away and courts will file to be in control of everything. You also do not state if you are an only child and hinted that relatives did this. Please supply more details - and see an attorney.

Hill's Prescription Diet A/D Question
Hill's Prescription Diet A/D Question ????
Hello everyone! I have tons of questions to ask!The other day I have found a stray that had kittens.This stray has been around, and she never looked pregnant.I remember seeing her around, and she seemed skinny.The stray is pretty young! I can tell because she is pretty small.Well looking at kittens they seem really tiny, and I am a little worried.Today I went to the pet store to buy food for the cat. The first thing I bought was kitten food by Schesir.Then the girl that worked at the counter told me to get Hill's Prescription Diet A/D (caned food), and Solo by DRN. The girl told me that this stuff is full of protein, and energy.I thought okay I will get it because it seems like what the stray needs.I know that I should ask the vet,but I decided to first ask here.How much food should I give to a young skinny nursing cat that lives outside?Should I give first the Hill's A/D,and then Solo?Plus how long should I give it to her, and can I give it to her with other food at the same time?

Hi What is true is that ad is a bit calorie intensive. What is also true is that it is horrible food and not necessarily good calories. This is not food a cat should eat I am glad it is canned food You do not need kitten foo eithe You didn't mention how old the kitten are, If under 6 weeks they need mothers miulk or special formula http://www.kittenrescue.org/handbook.htm If over 6 weeks they should all be eating the same thing. Quality canned foods Thank you so much for rescuing Here is some info and good links Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat. Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingrdiant a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things? http://www.catinfo.org/#Learn_How_To_Read_a_Pet_Food_Ingredient_Label Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with grfains and carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process them. Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive. You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/bpo_ch4a.php Please read about cat nutrition. http://www.newdestiny.us/nutritionbasics.html http://www.catinfo.org/feline_obesity.htm http://maxshouse.com/feline_nutrition.htm#Dry_Food_vs_Canned_Food.__Which_is_reall

A/D is not suitable for long term feeding. Your best bet is high protein low carb non vet food, ranging from fancy feast up to wellness. For more info including a list of acceptable commercial foods, see www.catinfo.org

You are qualified to enter the crap shoot for all these colleges, and you'll probably have a 20% chance at each of them. You're a senior now, so there's nothing you can "add" to your application that would actually improve it. If you get rejected from all those colleges, you might choose to either take a gap year and go abroad saving children in Africa or take a post-graduate year at a prep school, applying again after that year.

You definitely have a chance - just don't put all your hopes into one or two schools. Those 2 only admit about 7% of the applicants. Go to collegeboard.com or princetonreview.co, and find a few other places that are already accepting students with your qualifications. In addition to Princeton and Cornell, apply to at least three of the 'likely to admit' and make sure one of them is in your state system [finances have a funny way of sabotaging plans]. That way you have some choices when those skinny and fat envelopes start arriving. Also do not fail to consider small liberal arts colleges - they are your ticket into outstanding 'name school' grad programs.
2 :
you have an average chance at cornell and a below average chance at princeton. everything you do is boring and average. that SAT is also weak; retake and try to get it to 2200+. i'm going to say with a 2200, cornell would be in reach but princeton is not. i hope your rank is high. as for other schools, try univ of virginia, unc chapel hill, emory, berkeley, and one or 2 safeties.

Does you baby get overstimulated easily
Does you baby get overstimulated easily?
I have two girls and am wondering if it's a girl thing, just from i have seen personally. It could be a coincidence. When my two year old was a baby she was very independent and usually wanted to fall asleep solo and could only handle a little bit of hands on before getting irritable. One day we were at a family get together and she was passed from person to person, by the time we got home and i nursed her at home, she was trying to nurse without touching me. That was the most extreme. Now my two month old daughter is the same way. she wants to be solo to fall asleep and is happier being by herself, loves being talked to but gets easily frustrated with hands on and being held. She cries to get put down quite often. She is also currently nursing. Just wondering though if it's a girl thing or if anyone else has this experience? Most of the boy babies i know want constant attention, but is that a coincidence? Lol, it's strange that i have 2 kids that are the same way. My oldest is 2 now and it was probaly when she was about a year old when she wanted more cuddling. She was always social, just didn't like being held very often.

It is possible that they are sore from all the handling and passing around and just don't want to be held anymore.

Um, my daughter is 1 and she was a very demanding baby that ALWAYS wanted to be held till recently. So IDK.
3 :
I don't think it has anything to do with gender. My daughter is almost 9 months old and is the most social baby I have ever seen! She loves people and is VERY secure in pretty much any environment.
4 :
My moms says I was like that when I was a baby but I thought I was the only one. Good to know there is other people like that in this world!
5 :
My boy is the same way. He likes for us to play and chit chat for a bit whilst he's awake, but if I get too goofy he is like 'ok mom, enough, put me down' lol. He doesn't mind being held, but if i am overly playful he gets agitated. I tell my husband he reminds me of Stewie from Family Guy... These little babys have such BIG personalities :-)

I love The Postal Service - definitely my favourite band. I would love for them to release a new CD ... Sadly, it looks like it's not going to happen anytime soon. Well, I also listen to The Bravery, Interpol, The Shins, Bloc Party, Angels & Airwaves, and Dashboard Confessional. You might like to check them out.

Val. P.S. Ignore the question tag in the end of my "open question" it isn't meant to be there :)

I love The Postal Service - definitely my favourite band. I would love for them to release a new CD ... Sadly, it looks like it's not going to happen anytime soon. Well, I also listen to The Bravery, Interpol, The Shins, Bloc Party, Angels & Airwaves, and Dashboard Confessional. You might like to check them out.

What should I name my project
What should I name my project?
My friend and I are putting on a music project this summer. It will be a compilation of high school and college musicians from our high school. We will prepare solo small ensemble works and perform them at local nursing homes (as well as maybe the hospital and other local facilities). I'm hoping we can come up with something simple and catchy. Our town is also called Oswego if that helps with any names. I'm hoping for something simple, catchy, and memorable, so we can use it again in the future. The only thing I have come up with so far is "Music Meets Oswego." Perhaps "The Oswego Music Project," but that seems to bland. Any and all advice is openly accepted! Thanks!

What first prompted my interest in your narrative is that you began with "My friend and I . . . " which is correct, but usually forgotten by many on this board. I suggest you use your initial name of "Music Meets Oswego." It's short and to the point.

What can a nurse do in a morgue
What can a nurse do in a morgue?
I'm studying nursing, but I'm really tired of all this drama that tend to surround the hierarchical foundation of the somatic/psychiatric units. My mind leans to where it's more quiet and independent: morgue. I know that most of the answers would be from the US, but at least I'll know something about this. 1. Can having BA in Nursing qualify me to work in a morgue? 2. What education is needed for that? 3. What about the pay? 4. How many shifts are there? 5. How many people is there per shift and what are their roles? 6. Is the work there more teamwork or solo work? Thank you in advance....for real answers! /Haleo.

My cousin worked in a morgue in England on his holiday away from Australia. So anyone can apply and gain a job in the morgue. I don't know how much they get paid but Ben was able to pay for the expensive accommodation in London and still be able to eat, drink and party. So I would say a fair amount as his rent was almost $1,000 English pounds. I would guess there would only be a day shift when you get the bodies autopsied. And someone would be there at night to go get the bodies and put them in the fridge. The Forensic Pathologist is the Boss in the morgue, then you have the assistants. Some of your work would be sols. Some would be team work. I am a Nurse also and hate the political bull dust. I am now training to go into Drug and Alcohol addiction/rehab. But I would also like to work in the morgue.

What should I sing for Oldies
What should I sing for Oldies?
A select choir that I'm in does a thing every year called Oldies, where we go to nursing homes and sing. Each of us (there's 16 of us) sings a solo from between 1920-1970. I'm a mezzo-soprano belter. Here's a video of my voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbN6rrNpPfQ I have absolutely no idea where to begin, there's SO much music. Help!

A few suggestions that those oldies would be familiar with would be most ABBA songs. I'd suggest for your voice, something like Fernando, Girl with the Golden Hair or maybe Chiquitita. You could also try Bridge over troubled water by Simon and Garfunkel or maybe Aretha Franklin's Respect or Dionne Warwick's Say a little Prayer.

Violinists! Suggest some solo pieces to play for a group of about 50 people
Violinists! Suggest some solo pieces to play for a group of about 50 people?
The character in my story is a nurse, played violin for ten years as a child (5-15) and had dreams of going professional someday, but her mother dies and that decided her future career. Ten years later, her boyfriend (a fine craftsman) makes a kit violin and gives it to her. She is touched by this and decides to practice some classical melodies to entertain the members of their small community. I like Massenet's Meditation from Thais and Boccarini's Minuet, but there is no accompaniment available, and I'm not sure how nice they would be without. Please don't suggest something like Sarasate's Gypsy Airs! She's not a virtuoso! That's far beyond her technical skills. She remembers some tunes she loved well enough to be able to recapture them after a few weeks of practice. Thanks! If this isn't clear enough, please let me know and I'll ask another question, or add details. 1 MAR 08, 0457 hrs, GMT.

Massenet's Meditation would be fine .I often hear buskers play this unaccompanied and it sounds great. It is perfect for the story too. Another one to consider might be the violin transcription of Chopin's nocturne number 20 in C# minor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I4zoyEwT3s This sounds good unaccompanied as well. Also : Paganini...Cantabile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEtens6JJp8

Should I delivery solo or not
Should I delivery solo or not?
I am due in about 7 weeks and I still haven’t decided if I want anyone with me while I deliver my baby. I am really annoyed and irritated already and I can only imagine I will be worse while in labor. Has anyone ever delivered without anyone besides the doctor and nurses in the room?

I have no kids right now. But many people only have their boyfriend/ husband with the nurse and doctors in the room, thats it. I wouldn't feel comfortable with the family in there, thats what the waiting rooms for. good luck with your choice.
2 :
I delivered for kids 3 of them solo the last one with my sister in law giving birth is undescribable it is truly a miracle labor is what is rough delivery is a breeze if i had the chance like my kids i would share it with the ones closest to me no one was aloud in when i was pregnant i was with my girls you could not give me a billion dollars to miss it the baby is a miracle giving birth is a blessing good luck
3 :
Usually it's common to have the father of the child in there or, if you don't want them, some women have their mothers. Really it is all about whatever is going to make you the most comfortable. You delivery is about you and the baby, you don't need any other added stress, so if you do have someone, make sure they are someone who supports you.
4 :
When I had my daughter my mom would not leave the room and I was so annoyed (my husband was there as well). So when I had my son I didn't tell anyone until after he was born, I didn't want the madhouse that I had when she was born. I was like you and really irritable and I even told my husband that if he did one thing to annoy me he was getting kicked out. He ended up being just fine and even helped catch our son and cut the cord. I suggest inviting ONE person in there because you want someone to be there for support but don't tell anyone else until after the baby is born.

i just had my mom and one nurse. if i had to do it all over again i would make sure there was another person in there with me. i only had one person holding my leg..my mom...and it was so hard. i dont care if i have to pull a stranger out in the hospital to hold my other left next time around...i will do it! my arms from holding my legs hurt the most after having my son. so make sure there are two people holding your legs. there wasnt but one nurse in the room with me until i was about done.
6 :
I was the same way when i was about to have my son. i had been arguing a lot with my boyfriend(his father) and wasnt even sure if i wanted him there when he was born. he was and i am glad that he was there to see our son be born. everything is good now
