relationship problems , my girl friend ( she is 25- I am 40)cant drive !! I did not want to teach her my self , so I paid a professional , she has had 21 driving lessons $ 2000 dollars worth . she still cant drive now, so now I try , get in the car with her and we fight , I don’t know what her problem is, but now I am so mad after spending $2000 dollars , and hardly no improvement in her driving , ( when I say she cant drive I mean someone would be dead if not for other person in car with her)
she is 25 . Question do I have the right to be unbelievably angry and wanting to get her poor family to pay for the lessons , I am now yelling and always upset, and I know the relationship is over ,,,, ( but then again 21 lessons and barely no improvement ) what to do ????????????????????

razerblaze2011 asked:


OK, he is around 6-8 months old and has never been truly “Healthy”.
This is because of lack of research on my part and i feel TERRIBLE about it…. Here are the conditions he was in prior to this past weekend.
Lighting- 2 75 watt r zilla bulbs (Realized he was getting sick so we started gut-loading crickets with extra calcium and fed him more greens) this was about 2 months after i got him. Oh and he was around 2 months when i got him
Temperatures- low 75 high 90
Substrate - walnut shell
Diet - a few crickets each day and some lettuce/zucchini/broccoli

After i while he got to where he was twitching and shaking. I looked this up and realized it was do to lack of calcium. (Didn’t realize that D3 was needed to digest calcium) so i started to dust crickets more and feed more calcium rich foods. He got better and i took him outside every day. Winter came so i stopped taking him outside because i felt it was too cold for him… he got better and ate more than normal. One day when i woke up he was dragging him self around with all of his legs.. (back included) but didn’t lift himself up.. This deeply disturbed me and i immediatly looked it up online. Then i realize my mistake and quickly changed his cage to as follows:

Lighting- 1 r-zilla 8.0 UVB/A 24″ light 1 150 watt r-zilla night heating light, and 1 r-zilla 100 watt daytime heating light. (I have 2 Reptisun 10.0’s on order as i read they are the best. I’m not sure how good the other 2 lights are but my heat in cage dramaticaly improved
Temperature- basking area 105-110 low 82-85 Night temps low 74 high 83. ( around 14 hours of UVB and bright lights on, then just night heater on)
Substrate- Newspaper (Much easier to clean and i read small dragons eat loose substrate such as wallnut shell-which i hear is the WORST)
Diet- 4-6 Crickets a day and a bowl of collard greens, Turnip greens, and zucchini-which i mist before giving.

At first, there was a Dramatic improvement. More active, alert, hungry, and he seemed to be happier as well! But, last night and today he has been down… worse than before! Last night he didn’t eat AT ALL or drink (that i am aware of) i mist and bath him daily to help him go. I forced water through a syringe last night and today because he appeared dehydrated. Now that his basking temps are higher he loves to sit on the log and bask although he cant get up there himself because he can hardly move… but when i set him up there he perks up and acctually lifts his head in the air! which is way better than laying flat and not moving much at all…. anyways i tried to get him to eat greens as well but he wouldn’t. Now today a new problem appeared.. now he doesn’t seem to want to keep his eyes open. He can because if i poke him or move him he opens them and looks straight at me, but after a few seconds he puts his head back down and closes his eyes. When i bathed him today he filled his whole body with air and got stiff.. which he never did before.. I’m not sure what this means.. i thought they could only puff necks.. Anyways i am trying to find the money to take him to the vet.. I hope he will recover and have a good life because i truly care for him.. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!!! PLEASE email me for pics or my phone number if you need to talk to me! i am willing to do ANYTHING!!! ALL HELP WILL BE GREAT!!!

I would like if you problems specifically could be addressed, as i feel his cage, diet, temps, lighting are now ok. I am worried about these things tho

Please answer all of these seperatly so all will be addressed! thanks.
Laziness -

Not wanting to open eyes -

Dragging self around/ not lifting up body-

Mouth WIDE open when basking, not slightly like i see in pictures or described in books/forums.

Please email for pics or my phone number i will gladly do all i can. Thanks.
Could a dragon of his age be undergoing brumation? even if chance is low i am curious…

Also i am worried about why he wont open eyes for more than 4 secs at a time.. this is a reletively new symptom… please help.
I have also heard that uvb lights can damage the eye of many reptiles including bearded dragons. I am using a r-zilla 8.0 24″ tube bulb that is about 10″ away… i have 2 lights over his basking area 1 is a r-zilla incandesent 100 watt bulb that is slightly frosted and the other is a 250 watt bulb that is a deep purple so it produces hardly any light.. all are about… 9″-10″ away… the 2 bulbs are above the screen directly over the basking area, the uvb tube is below the screen back away from the basking area. but is still 10″ away… (its below the screen because i heard uvb waves are greatly reduced when passed through glass and screens)
Thanks, and continue with your answers!

God bless them, they are the sweetest people I’ve ever met, but they are so unbelievably annoying! Ever since my son was born they have had no problem in telling me that I was doing something wrong! Father-in-law kept pressuring us to breastfeed (which I did whole-heartedly) and then when I exclusively breastfeed, he thinks the baby couldn’t have gotten enough to eat, even though he was growing like a weed, so tried getting us to supplement with formula! My sister-in-law b****ed about me patting my son on the back “too hard” when I was trying to burp him, like her little 17-year-old self would know. My FIL constantly went on and on about how I didn’t need to start feeding my son regular food because he couldn’t digest it properly at 7 months (it’s not like I gave him T-bones and chips or anything), how I didn’t need to get him off the bottle until he was 1, and constantly getting on my husband’s **** about how he takes care of our child (he could use some improvement on the quantity of care, but definately not the quality). Just yesterday my SIL kept taking sticks away from my almost 17 month old son saying they were too dangerous and he needed to find smaller sticks to play with, when she had just taken one that was no bigger than his hand away! That night I was letting him practice eating with a fork and they get all over me about how he’s too young to bother with that and how I should just let him be a baby! They even got on to me about switching his fork from his left hand to his right hand (I’m not obsessed with him being a righty,… just encouraging him to use it. If he ends up being a lefty, so be it). I am just getting so incredibly fed up with it all! I tell them nicely that it’s okay, this is what I want him to do as his MOTHER, but they are unrelenting. I don’t like the thought of raising an overly-dependant child that needs Mommy and Daddy to do everything for him, like he did. Son doesn’t feel comfortable hooking up his own washer and dryer with instructions so calls his Daddy to come do it for him (didn’t even let me look at it and I’ve done it before), and daughter is so spoiled and insecure she didn’t even feel comfortable getting an ATM card on her own. I’m just trying to encourage him to do more and better, but I never force him. What is their deal?? And how can I tell them just to back the **** up?
Who said anything about me living with them? This is all over a course of 17 months.

embarking on new things asked:


As a single mother who has confronted issues like poverty, financial hardships, homelessness, and single parenting, I am committed to helping individuals achieve personal growth and I am determined to enhance the well-being of individuals from diverse backgrounds, such as the homeless, disabled, elderly, single mothers, and those with a mental illness. As a result of my own personal experiences, I am familiar with the constant despair and frustration to those struggling to survive. I am convinced that increasing our own sense of empowerment can make the difference between a future of despondency or one filled with hope. I am applying for the Master’s in Social Work because I am dedicated to pursuing my life mission: helping others in embracing their inner potential to make a positive life transition. Preparation for my personal goal began while I worked at Harbor View Adolescent Center as a Youth Counselor. My primary work responsibility involved my serving as a positive role model for adolescents, ranging from ages twelve to eighteen. The adolescents encountered issues such as physical and sexual abuse, abandonment, drug and alcohol abuse, bulimia, depression, and severe behavioral problems. At times, the position was extremely stressful: however, I discovered that I had the ability to connect with the adolescents and develop strong emotional ties. While working with them, I focused on several areas of treatment, including social skills, vocational skills, and independent living skills. My main ambition was to help build their self-esteem and improve their sense of security. I am especially interested in doing graduate work in the area of helping children and families. I especially see these groups as oppressed and vulnerable and I believe that I can serve the public effectively. As a youth counselor and case manager, I have gained valuable experience in listening to people and improving the quality of lives for others. My career goals specifically targets the vulnerable , oppressed, and poverty stricken individuals who will benefit from improvement in their quality of live. I want to ensure that these groups of individuals have the opportunity for services, resources, and much needed guidance.
Personal strengths: There are several aspects of my personal strengths that I can bring to the field of social work. Some of my personal strengths include that I am highly caring, in regards to other individual needs and feelings. I also speak Spanish fluently. I believe that I can bring my language ability of being bi-lingual to the field of social work in that I will be able to help meet the needs of Spanish speaking clients from culturally diverse populations.
Academic Strengths: As far as my administration abilities, I am very efficient with reports, quarterlies, and paperwork.
Social workers are guided by a professional code of ethics on advocating for social justice, change, equality, human rights, and well-being of all individuals. This includes, but is not limited to, the disadvantaged, poor, vulnerable, and oppressed individuals ; the most helpless in our society. Our roles as social workers is to empower these individuals function more effectively , to help them develop the necessary skills to effectively cope with the complex issues in their everyday lives. Therefore, I am committed to helping build a society that functions to treat all individuals with respect and equality. All individuals have a fundamental right to live with human decency, but society is structured such that not all individuals have equal access to such necessities such as food, housing, education, safety, and employment. As social workers, it is our responsibility to ensure that individual needs are met so that they can be self-sufficient and able to make the best possible choices for themselves.
Diversity means different things to different people. For me, diversity is and never was a bad thing. Diversity is the differences in the decisions that we make, the way we think, act, behave, and choose to live our lives. For this reason, I respect every individual for who they are regardless of our differences. Some people make excuses to discriminate based on differences such as race, culture, and ethnicity. Instead of discriminating each other, we need to be involved in celebrating diversity and differences. We can do this through being open to learning from individuals, from other cultures, and through understanding value of diversity itself.
For instance, I feel that my cultural background helped me to be better relate to the clients that came from the same background and different backgrounds as well. I am biracial. My mother is Mexican and my father is African American. I was raised in a community in which the population was mostly Spanish. From that aspect, I learned how to speak fluent Spanish from my own culture and also by my family. I am culturally competent in my language ability to speak Spanish. This helps me to be

Sandy G asked:


she’s 16,sexually active,can’t get along with her brothers or sisters missing school, demanding, very opinionated and she can’t see she is self centered and that the world revolves around her. i had to involve family members and have a sit down session which took about 3hrs to no improvement or progress in her current situation. My family took her into my home with the intent to resolve some of the personal issues with sex,demanding personality,i cant confirm the skunk smell in our kids bathroom after her use and leaving the exhaust fan running with the doors closed. non the less i cant let an outside force ruin the basic family house rule that have been established with my own kids. i have no other option to let her get a reality check at the group home. I’m not sure that the group home will solve it as well, change needs to come from her own heart. We’ve had a sit down talk, set a positive home environment had to work a little around her school schedule, she can’t admit fault or apologize to her sisters or brothers. out of options….

afarmboy87 asked:


Hello my name is Bryan, and I am writing this letter as I have found myself to be in a bit of a predicament. I believe my situation I a little unique, so forgive me if you find my cover letter a little unconventional. I am looking for full time employment, and will need to relocate. As this may not be uncommon, bare with me one moment as I explain. I have a wife and kids in a country other than mine. After a three year wait, it was planned and expected, that my family would be able to immigrate in to the united states, in June two thousand eight. Some unexpected situations arose, and now my family will be unable to apply until two thousand thirteen! With a one year old boy I have hardy seen, and another one on the way, I am saying good by to my job, selling every thing I own, and saying hello to the international job market.
Who am I and what can I do for you, This will be difficult to sum up, as I definitely due not fall into the norm! At 38 this is my first cover letter to prelude my first resume. I was raised within a multimillion dollar muti-corparation family. We owned several farms, a large trucking company, excavating business and a landfill. Buy the age of twelve, I would be performing independently, tasks and operations, that a typical person may be faced with after training in there mid to late twenties. By the time I was twenty, I was producing show quality cars in my own automotive business. I went on to work, or contract, in almost every facet of residential construction. I now find myself behind a desk quite often, as I do purchasing for a industrial construction firm, as well maintain there fleet and repair all equipment and tools.
I do not come neatly packaged with a degree for you to hang on your wall, or with a number of years study in a particular field. I come very rounded, very mindful of ramifications of any move, or any situation, in any type of business. Being a businessman my self I can appreciate the purpose, forethought, planning, preparation, expense, implementation and the anticipated change or improvement of any given job. I am not at the apex of my career, and certainly my collar is still blue. I have never been worried about what time lunch is, or dwell on those days where you put in nineteen hours for eight hours pay. I am a company man, from a company family, and I know what it takes.
I am contacting you because you offer employment outside the United States. As I may be qualified for a particular opening you have posted, you may want to consider me for a opening where I miss the mark. As I am very motivated, and always eager to learn. Encountering a place where I can work, live, and reunite my family is paramount. That said do not feel reluctant to offer me a menial position. You will quickly recognize my abilities people always do.

Thanks Bryan
Thank for your input and witty comments. I have never written a cover letter, I did read some outlines today. State purpose, note why you would be a candidate, create a desire for them to turn the page and see what your qualifications are. But I have had 30 jobs that I can remember, from a teacher to ditch digger, a heavy equipment operator, to motorcycle salesman. I am currently employed in very good position. I plan on sending 200 or more letters to companies who have positions for some specific title warehouse foreman or customer relation or shift manager all of which are in new Zeeland for example, and there paying to fly me and my family out there, that’s expensive! I have to prove with out a shadow of a doubt, that I am the guy their looking for. I have forgotten more about those jobs than some guy with a masters degree and three years experience knows, but I do not have 6 years in a specific position to sale them, so I have to paint a picture with words, or get a snapshot of my
life on one page, its tough. Look at my week for example, I wined and dined some vendors for pricing, and adjusted my inventory for anticipated workload, For my company. I did some computer diagnostic work on some 2007 trucks in our fleet, and rebuilt a pressure washer. At home I bailed 900 bales of hay, put new floor timbers in the barn, and bid a job to due some commercial wiring on my own, who dose that in a week! I certainly am not the most talented guy on the earth by know means, but I do have a unique past, and a abnormal amount of abilities so I’m always told. I am applying for the rarest of jobs those only out of the country, where I can relocate and reunite my family, a very odd situation Which by the way needs to be told, as they all want to know why your applying for a job out of your country; and the world is going to force me to write a conventional cover letter! At this point in my life, what is conventional about my life or needs.
I appreciate all of you input and
heed all you advice, but I am questing the common principles. Is it not possible a person with a uniquely diverse past, in a very peculiar situation, trying to gain employment in a foreign country, for the sole propose reuniting a family. Appealing to employers who facing the toughest hiring situation, overseas placement, none of this justify a cover letter a little uncommon? maybe not critique away
