Help! Someone is trying to break into my house?
About the night before last night I had these two guys meet up in my drive-way. I'm 17, and my brother is 8. Our parents are out on a vacation for a week. (Just letting you guys know.) So the two guys were in my drive-way, no car, no nothing. They met from coming on opposite sides from the street (Example, one came down from the left side and one came down on the right), and they both came at different times. I had my window open, and my desk lamp was on and it was the only light on. It faced the street, I heard talking and looked out again and they were still there. I saw them pointing at my window and I ducked lower. I couldn't hear what they were saying because they were kind of whisper talking and I'm on the second floor. Of course that freaked me out, and they left. So I turned on all the lights and I made me and my brother sleep in his bedroom, which is in the back of the house, and we stayed there for the night. Last night at about midnight I heard the outside door open and my dog leaped up and started growling so I leaped up and locked the inside door and held it. I felt the intruder trying to turn the knob. I stood there awhile but didnt hear the person leave. They didnt knock or anything! So then I went to look out the window and there was no car or anything. I went upstairs for awhile and came back down about 10 minutes later and opened the door and there was no one there. I didnt see the person and they didnt leave anything behind, nor was any property stolen or damaged. Please someone tell me what to do, I`m really scared!! I think someones planning this because twice I`ve seen cars in my driveway at various hours of the night. I can`t call the police because I didn`t get license pate numbers or anything. Please tell me what you think or give any advice or support you have. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
My mom doesn't let me leave the house! What can I do?
Talk with your mom. Sit down and have a serious conversation, stay calm and take your time and DO NOT GET UPSET. Ask questions like: I would like to go out with my friends, since you do not let me, I would like to know why? Try and figure out what it is and why she won't let you out. Try and meet her in the middle ground, and lay down some rules. Earn more "trust", even if you think she should trust you completely. It also sounds like your mom cares for you and wants to protect you, which makes her sound like a good person. Be thankful, but being a teenager, you should be allowed more freedom. Many times, parents act like children, sometimes it is up to the "kids" to act like the "adults". It may take a while, but try and take small steps, earn her trust. Sneaking out, breaking curfew or make her upset, will only cause you more troubles. Best of luck.
How long can you leave a boxer alone in the house,while you are at work?
Figure a dog can hold it's bladder one hour per month of age to 8 months. A good solution would be go to the humane society or boxer rescue and find a dog that is over 8 months and house trained. I happen to be well connected with Boxer rescue in Vancouver, WA if you near :-). Alternatively, hire someone to help you meet your dogs needs. Dog walkers would probably be happy to come by, and play with a puppy for an hour a couple of times a day.
Landlord terminated lease so he could sell the house. Wants us out by December 1st, but is also making us pay December s rent before we go?
Basically our landlord sent us a paper in the mail saying we had to be out of our house by December 1st because he is selling the house. Our lease doesn t end til June, and we ve never paid rent late or broken any of the rules for him to randomly make us leave. Also, in the paper it says "December s rent must be handed to me before you leave the property". Why is he making us pay for a month we won t even be living there?? Is that even legal??
Why does my husband always leave for freemasonry?
If he had that pattern when you were dating and since you got married, you did sign up for it. If there has been an increse in the amount of time spent at meetings, it is a sign that somthing has changed. As a freemason we are not to neglect our commitment to family and it is preferred that we miss lodge rather than that. Attendance at other lodges is supported and traditional among masons. With his responsibility to not neglect his family, he may not be aware of your feelings if you have not talked with and communicated with him. In that case, he would be hard pressed to see his mason time as neglect. Be calm (and for effect romantic to get his attention on you, men are too easy to train when a woman uses her "charms") and let him know that you respect and support his commitment to the masons being as they are an asset to many who are in need but he made a commitment to you also when you got married. When you get his attention and he does spend time with you, make it interesting and fun. I do not mean or advocate manipulation, just take care of him and you will have him eager to please you, thus building a stronger marrige.
How or where did you meet your spouse/partner?
We had an arranged marriage. My aunt and my MIL were best friends. I met my husband when when he came to India from Canada. My parents had met him when he visited India at age 18.My husband was only 21, his mom wanted him to marry me. She had already made up her mind, first time she saw me. My husband on the other hand wanted to see more girls. He had never seen me but he was rebelling against his parents. He was mad at his parents and told them, he didn’t want to see me. He would marry me if they wanted to. I was worried when I found out that he didn’t want to see me. I asked my cousin in law, who was the middle person, if there is anything wrong with him? She said, no, he’s really nice and you would make a nice couple.I didn’t want to marry a man who didn’t want to marry me for him but for his parents. Then we met, agreed and got married. I was 19, he was 21. My mother in law wanted me to wear those kaliyan (flowers in my hair) She thought I was Rekha. :) Rekha is her favorite actor.This picture was taken at my husband’s uncle’s home.I was painfully shy…This is our family..Edit: I wanted to share with those who are wondering about people in an arranged marriage.We were driving home from Costco today. My husband said, I am so grateful I married you. I know it was meant to be. I was such an ass when I was younger. I am glad you stuck around. :) This wasn’t the first time he has told me. He has been telling me this for 30 years.
