How to handle the strange people at my new town?
I moved to different neighborhood and town because my father got new job 200 miles away from my previous home.
I has to move with him because I am minor so I can’t legally move out. The new house itself is fine. I don’t have problem with new home but it’s people that I am having problem with.
The people in my new town always call police on anything. Also at my new town, a lot more police on road. How can I handle the people being strange? I have been dealing with police five times in a month so far. Never at my previous home.
I did peeing at backyard at night time, somebody in neighborhood call police because of that, also I took beer from my dad’s cooler. I take a walk through public park nearby. Police busted me because of underage drinking. I also play loud music by school in morning, somebody call police on that one too. There is sports luxury car park by store, I looks through window, somebody call police assume I took to steal but I didn’t steal anything just looking. I also go to closest lake to fishing, somebody call police because of private lake and also thought I was peeping into somebody window.
Now those people at new town are crazy to call police on anything while yet I did same at my old home. Nobody call police on me, they don’t even nosey on what I am doing at anywhere at my older home at 200 miles away.
How can I make it just same at new town as people are at older town? Trying to get them to not call police on stupid stuff. At my older home, nobody call police on me and on anybody.
just be urself
i was an army brat and moved every 6 months till i was 18
as far as the police being called on you…if your not doing anything illegal(getting caught or such), get the officers name then file a complaint at local sherrifs office. if sherrif doesnt do anything then call the state police.
u cant make one town like the other….unless your in charge of that town and have lots of money
u can also ask the officer who called police on you, (if hell tell u)(then file complaint on officer for harrassment on you) and file charges on person who called on you for slander..you can make that persons life a miserable hell like theyre giving you.
people are scared of new people in town nowadays…either you can try to act civil in town (respect of others), or not be civil. either way i would not put up with the bull of law calling on you all the time.
of course law will get u for underage drinking…probably for loud music too..noise ordiance in town..
just find out what u can get away with and what u cant…then have some fun at revenge on the scared people(just my opinion on that last one)
ive been thru almost the same stuff u have, except i been doing it waaay more n u have..lol
respect goes a long way..it can work for u.plus youll find out the ones who is disrespectful towards you(then theres where the fun begins..lol)
Are we now the laugh in stock of the world?
In this rare question I ask why this great majestic nation,the birth place of nations,once the envy of lesser lands from one end of the globe to the other has now become weak and feeble.The nation that once had the backbone to fight the battle of Britain doesnt have the backbone to move a few illegal squaters. Yesterday Mr "Justice" Ouseley after 10 years seemed puzzled my it all and said the council could go ahead. I want to know why its not been cleared this morning? It seems they are going to appeal again and its all going in circles. We are being made to look stupid.I dont like that.Members should read the Daily Mail this morning on these judges who thwart the plans of an elected government. What would other members do? i would create a new legal site of luxury mobile homes and move them into the new homes. It seems these days the courts and the judges are not set up to punish the guilty and protect the weak and innocent,no they go out of their way to protect the evil guilty. What can we do. it was our parents and grandparents who created the Empire.Are we not worthy of them?
sorry I dont know what "MOJO" means? I often hear the word. I encourage members to focus on the main problem and perhaps suggest a solution.
Kannuy. I wasnt saying anything about America. You are right to be proud of your country,but this is about Britain
Dear BP,I fancy him actually.
Yes, pretty much so, most Europeans can’t understand why the council would sell them the site, then punish them for developing it…
Ten years ago (it might be 11 now.) they could have installed mains power, water and sewage to the site for under a million quid, the council are fighting on "Principle", the principle that they can sell a brownfield site then define it as "Greenbelt" and evict the people who cleared it..
New Basic car or used "near luxury" car?
I am considering either a new car or used car. I am considering a new Nissan Altima 2.5S ($19,500) or a 2008 Infiniti G35x fully loaded w/ 88k miles ($16500). If you had to use the car you bought for 5 years (driving about 15k miles- 75k miles over 5 years) which would you do?
After 5 years:
Altima
-5 years old
-75k miles
G35x
-8 years old
-163k miles
Infiniti Pros
-AWD- i live in Pittsburgh, and i will visit family in CT several times a year during college vacations so it will be snowy
-When going home and back from school, it is a 500 miles trip one way. The built in Navigation system will help (without needing my phone’s GPS
-Luxurious features- leather, navigation, LED Tail lights, Xenon headlights, alloys
-Already depreciated significantly from new… I can prob still get around $8k when it is 8 yrs old ($8500 depreciation)
Infiniti Cons
-A more expensive car, so it might be a target of vandals
-Premium Fuel needed
Nissan Pros
-New car smell with new car warranty
-Regular fuel needed
Nissan Cons
-"regular" car
-No luxurious features
-ugly hub caps vs alloys
-Not a lot of HP
-FWD
-No built in Navigation
-More Depreciation (i can prob. sell for $9k after 5 yrs)
($10500 deprecation)
I’m not considering Accord or Camry right now… they are nice cars, but my mom has an Accord and dad has a Camry… I just don’t like how they drive…
I will pay off the car over 2-3 yrs. I’m not looking at Lexus because i really have my heart set on a Nissan product (Infiniti & Nissan are the same company)
Quite frankly, the Nissan’s pros and cons outweigh the Infiniti’s. You can purchase an excellent GPS for $200 or less and even add some "decent" rims a little later. You’ll have a factory warranty on the Nissan versus no warranty on the Infinity. You’ll also save about 25 cents per gallon on gasoline.
Politics: Gaddafi gone?Why don’t the Libyan rebels go home now instead of hang out in the street like homeless?
I thought they had cozy homes to go to where the normal Libyans used to live so it’s there’s for the taking now yes? DOH! They trashed the place. But why trash their new luxury homes bit weird innit?
In fact why did they originally ride into Libya and trash any of it to begin with if they lived there not very discrete is it?
And Why does trashing the place make things nice and homely for them, they must surely feel foolish now?
They are making me scratch my head a bit.
So what should they do? A) more street improvements or B) some homemaking?
……. Nah let’s march down the street chanting and acting like weirdoes.
Hey – I finally figured out what all that shoot’n in the air sh!t’s all about
They’re shoot’n out all the street lamps that don’t work anymore anyway.
If I was a rebel I’d being havin me a BBQ next to some loyalists pool (for drink’n water) before everything in the fridge goes off.
The BIG question is where they all be a poop’n now that the sewers don’t work.
True they were tricked and coerced but the poor dumbasses just rebelled themselves back into the stone age.
Chaos is what the western allies were after and they’ve succeeded in spades..

Am I behind the times? Should I still give them gifts, even if I’m not invited to the wedding?
Two months ago I received a "save the date" card for a wedding the end of Sept. I later received a shower invitation for July, and purchased gifts for both the shower and the wedding from their gift registry. Recently I learned by chance that the wedding has been changed to a family-only wedding in the Caribbean for the first of Sept, with a "reception" the end of Sept., with the bride wearing her wedding gown. I feel like I have been "dis-invited" to the wedding, and the "reception" is only to collect gifts.
The couple have been living together for a few years, and have virtually everything they need, including most of the items on their gift registries (which people have already purchased). The mother of the bride is wondering if there is a polite way to let people know that they really could use money to help buy their first house, instead of more gifts.
Is this the new etiquette?
I’m so old that I remember when people gave the couple gifts to set-up a new household, not to finance luxury items and new homes. Am I behind the times?
The "save the date" card also said "Invitation to follow". I took this to mean that I was invited to the wedding. There was no later contact saying that the wedding had been changed.
Contrary to what some of the other answers say, if you google a bit you’ll see that this IS becoming a new trend and is (at least by according to some peoples’ etiquette) acceptable… sadly. For instance "The Knot", a major wedding website, has a page on this very question at http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/destination-weddings/qa/home-reception-after-destination-wedding.aspx and their "expert" writes:
"Then when you get home, send out invitations to a party "celebrating your marriage" where you can show slides or photos of your ceremony. It will be as if they had all been there with you after all."
… to which I reply, "NO IT’S NOT!". What people don’t understand is that many of us guests want to witness the ceremony – the walk down the aisle, the vows, the first kiss as a married couple – and it’s not the same if we don’t. People can have the intimate wedding or the big wedding, but they can’t have both, it’s a contradiction.
I would politely decline to attend.
p.s. I’m guessing there was no change of plan, this was the plan all along.
Is class warfare alive and kicking in the United States thanks to Obama?
Five years ago nobody cared how much the top 5% were paying in taxes because everybody was too busy enjoying their new swimming pools, BBQ’ing steaks bought with credit cards, cashing out the tens of thousands in equity from their homes to take exotic vacations, and driving around in their new luxury SUVs! So why NOW is a 36% tax rate on the rich is so horribly unfair? And why is Obama trying to make it sound like people with private jets and yachts are the one’s that quadrupled the deficit and added $4 trillion in national debt instead of him?
Yes, he pits the people against each other so they don’t watch him so closely.
Could you please check and improve my sentences?
A 60-year-old man lives in a small hut in Manila, Philippines. He works as a printing machine operator. He has six children. They all live in small hut like his father. Recently, the old man had bought a lottery ticket. To their surprise the old man has wins the second cash prize which is worth 40 Million US$.
From this cash prize, the old man has transformed to billionaire from ordinary poor man. He decides to buy a new luxury home for his family as soon as he got the cash. He also has decided to provide enough education for his children as he was un educated.
Guys, This is my current level in english. Please tell me how am I doing. So that I can improve myself.
"A 60-year-old man lives in a small hut in Manila, the Philippines. He works as a printing machine operator. He has six children. They all live in a small hut like his father [do you mean "The six children all live in a small hut like their grandfather", or "the old man's father"? or "The six children all live in a small hut like their father"?]. Recently, the old man had bought a lottery ticket. To their surprise [whose surprise? "To everyone's surprise" would sound well] the old man won the second cash prize, which was worth US$40 million.
From this cash prize, the old man has transformed to billionaire from ordinary poor man. He has decided to buy a new luxury home for his family as soon as he gets the cash. He has also decided to provide ample education for his children, as he was uneducated."
That’s very good, well done. The tenses are a little confused — i.e. it switches from present tense to perfect tense, but I think it’s okay. It might sound more natural to say "Because of this cash prize, the old man has transformed from ordinary poor man to billionaire" — it seems a little better to put the former state first, then what he transferred into.
[Edit]
He’s actually a millionaire, not a billionaire — there are a million million in a billion and he’s "only" won 40m.
Anyone selling a new home with all modern amenities and luxuries in?
You have not mentioned where you need a home.
I dreamed that my mom lived in two homes?
In reality, my mom lives in one luxury townhouse. She also got a new job within the past month.
In the dream I went to visit my mom and two younger sisters(my stepdads barely home, plus he and my mom are distant emotionally anyway). Then they told me that they lived in two luxury town homes and I could pick anyone I wanted to stay in with my kids(one was her current home she lives in now and the other a brand new one). I was confused and wanted to know why my mom would waste money like that. Both homes were nice and I believe she also had a couple of cars for both homes.
"I was confused" is perhaps the ‘key’ to your dream.
I suspect that distant "stepdad" plus the twice used "luxury" expression are also important pieces. "Why my mom would waste money like that" is the primary issue. She invested (read ’spent’) more on home and hubby than you imagined she needed to, which is part of the confusion.
Your night-time mental exercise was exploring some nagging question about your mother’s choices, and her values. There might also be a tinge of jealousy, as in to some degree wanting what she has, but this may also be related to the place of a parent providing for a child. We often have that little girl self-perception when dealing with mom. (Which is okay, because she often will still be seeing you as a little girl too)
