My sister's best friend (who is like a sister to me) will be caring for my daughter while I'm away at college (NO I'm NOT "dumping the kid off with relatives"... she ASKED me if she could care for her, and my college does not allow children in the dorms, which all first year students are required to live in.) So I drew up this list of "rules" about my daughter (really just how we run our household as it stands... kind of like the little notebook the people on Wife Swap get when they first arrive.) Copy pasted from the actual e-mail, this is how it reads:
__________________________________________________________

1. Only one special treat a day (this includes all junk food and drinks). Only if she's hungry, only if she asks for it specifically, and only if she's already eaten a fruit and vegetable that day. NO white bread, NO foods or drinks (except her "special treat, as outlined above) that contain high-fructose corn syrup, and NO margarine.

2. Only one half-hour program per day of television, one full-length movie per week max. (preferably most of this educational and/or Muzzy. NO Spanish or inappropriate content, and try to find as many European and/or French-speaking children's shows as possible. Also, her favourite shows are Big, Big World and Bindi the Jungle Girl, so if you could try to find others like it, of an environmental nature.)

3. No meat or dairy whatsoever, except 1 serving organic dairy per day if she's congested (as a homeopathic remedy).

4. Animals are treated as equal family members, not "the family...and the dog." For example, if the dog barks, instead of, "Shut up you stupid dog.", it should be a two-language conversation. "Oh, look, the doggy's saying hi." or "Kettles, who's out there?"

5. Appreciating and learning about nature is ENCOURAGED at EVERY opportunity. Birds and trees and fish still "speak", we just don't understand their language. This is to be respected. Take her for a nature walk every morning. This also includes heavily fostering reduce/reuse/recycle habits.

6. I've never personally seen you do this, and I don't believe you would, but just as an inclusion.... if she starts to stutter...dell tells her, and allows other people to tell her, "Come on, spit it out."...but that does not allow her brain to fit the puzzle pieces together properly. Allow her as many tries as she needs, without interruption, to complete a sentence. If she starts to get distracted because she's discouraged, repeat back to what she had so far. Encourage other people to do the same.

7. Another thing I've never personally seen you do, and don't believe you ever would, but just as an inclusion... many many *many* people squelch a childs "inside memory". This includes "Mommy, I decided the sky is purple."..."No Tommy, it's blue." at the most basic level, but...remember this. Faerie tales don't tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Faerie tales tell children that dragons can be killed. So, if she says something about faeries or dragons or some other "imaginary" thing...let her keep it. Don't take the "real" out of it for her. Please?

8. No forced naps or naptime! Resting in bed by 9pm, but if not tired, allow a book by lamplight until sleepy. If sleepy before 9pm, of course, allow bedtime earlier.

9. No forced meal times or amounts. Give her fruits and vegetables first. She will eat whenever she is hungry, and if that means she's not hungry when meals are made, she may sit at the table or be excused, but does not have to eat. Do not ask her if she is hungry, do not tell her when to eat or that her "plate is made", and do not offer food to her......wait until she asks you for food (even if it seems like she's gone "too long" without eating. She knows when her tummy is or isn't hungry). And NO food in front of the tv!

10. Home-Schooled (Unschooled), Waldorf, or Montessori ONLY. NO traditional public school.

11. No artificial fabrics. Cotton/Wool/Denim/Hemp/etc only.

12. Allow her to pick which clothes she wears for the day. A fun thing we do is, each day of the week corresponds with a few colours, and she picks clothes based on that. I can give you the chart if you want to use it with her.

13. Read at least one book *with* her and *tell* her at least one new story per day. Books are VERY important, and so too is the art of storytelling. I'd love for her to learn to love both.

14. She does not know the definition of truth vs lie. Please don't introduce her to those words (they turn into angry concepts). For instance, instead of, "are you telling me the truth or are you lying?" it's, "Is that a real story or a fake story?" (but only if you suspect a lie. Tr
Trust her!)

15. NO character, trademark, Copyright, Registered, etc possessions. Tinkerbell is faerie. Mickey is mouse-mouse. Elmo is monster. (So she does not associate name with brand and say, "I want that" just because she sees her 'friend'.) NO Dora, Spongebob, etc.

16. No electronic "blinking-beeping-walking-talking-batter… sort of toys. She can play with jacks, yo-yo's, marbles, pick-up-stix, twister, cards, hula hoops, jump ropes, lincoln logs, dolls, bike, skates, puzzles, etc etc etc....just nothing electronic or battery operated.

17. At least one hour per day outdoor physical activity.

18. Tell her, "that was good." or "that was bad." NOT "good girl" or "bad girl". There's no such thing as a good girl or bad girl, only doing good things or doing bad things.

19. Allow her to write/draw with whichever hand is more comfortable, but heavily encourage writing with the other hand as well. (For practical reasons, as well as "opening up" that centre of the brain for active use)
20. Any and all bath, soap, hygiene, and cleaning products used on or for her (shampoo, conditioner, clothes soap, etc.) can NOT contain sulfates, phosphates, pthalates, parabens, and/or aluminum.

21. Her hair is to be combed, NOT brushed...and without product of any kind (except water in a spray bottle). Her hair is never to be cut unless something happens to it which renders a haircut necessary, and I am notified/consulted with prior.

22. She is a Princess, and is to be reminded of such daily. This does not mean "letting her get away with whatever". It means building her self-esteem. (i.e. "...and you are a Princess, so you know what is best in your heart." and, "I will always teach you if you need me to, because Princesses love to learn.")

23. One thing we do, when she washes her hands, is that she puts the water in her hair and tells herself "I'm so pretty" in the mirror. Please continue this. It fosters positive self-image.
24. If you decide not to attend a church regularly, do NOT discuss a Christian and/or denominational 'God' with or around her. If you do decide to attend a church regularly, do NOT allow her to believe she will be punished in some way if she chooses to believe differently. She should not be taught "right" from "wrong" apart from the Universal rights and wrongs that most religions accept. You are entitled to your beliefs, whichever that may be, but I'd like for her to make her own coherent un-influenced decision. Also, I understand that you may not hold my same beliefs in religion and you may not agree with what I do, and that is just fine. But please understand that my beliefs are what they are, and I really don't want or need her seeing Momma as "wicked"...so keep her away from any and all, as much as possible, things that portray witches as evil green-nosed hags with bubbly brew and broomsticks. You know that image is not true...because you know me. C=. If it happens accidentally,
please explain to her that it's just a story, not real.

25. Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, and Easter Bunny are not real. She knows this. Please keep it that way.

26. Sometimes she forgets to brush her front teeth. The way we remember this is to tell her, "brush your smile."

27. Keep her shoes off at all safe and temperate times.

28. I know you may have no interest in learning the entire language, but if you pick up on things from her Muzzy tapes, and she says something to you in French, please respond back to her to the best of your knowledge in French. (For example... If she says, "S'il tu plait" for "Please", you say "D'Accord" for "Ok". Or if she says "Merci" for "Thank You", you say, "De Rien" for "You're Welcome".)

29. She is to be expected to follow Princess manners at all times. This does not mean stuck up or whiny, but rather, composed. If she cries, no "Aww" unless it's a tummy-ache or something of the sort, and no "Stop crying, it's not that bad." Instead, tell her,
"Take a deep breath, calm down, and say it to me in gentle words." If she gets grabby or selfish about something, she is told, "Uh Oh. Please act like a Princess. You know what to do." (and be aware that if you take something from her or someone else without asking, she may tell you, "That is not Princess. You know what to do." =P) If she gets mouthy, screams, throws, hits, or kicks, she is given one "Princess" warning per incident (as stated above), and if she does not correct her behaviour, she is placed on restriction, not time-out, for the remainder of the day. No privileges until the next morning. If she does not want to do something, we say, "that's alright, you don't have to want to do it, you just have to do it." If she does not know a person as family or close friend, she is not allowed to hug them or allow them to pick her up. This teaches her to respect her own personal space and expect it to be respected. If someone approaches her (not a stranger of course, lol) who is not
close family or close friend, she is to offer her hand. As a safety precaution, whenever she's in a car with someone and gets out before the driver, make sure she knows every time to leave her door open until the driver gets out. If you hear her making a "You are...." statement, remind her that it's most appropriate to say, "I think...." instead.

30. If she is sick, anything mild enough that does not require a trip to the Emergency Room is to be treated naturally. A daily kids multivitamin, tea, and naps. If medicine is required, please either look up the natural version and dosage, or call me and I will find out for you. NO processed medicines.

31. Do...NOT...*ever*...allow her to talk "gangster" or "ghetto". If you catch her speaking this way, have her repeat it back to you or whoever it was directed to cleanly and clearly.

32. If you are ever angry at her or around her, no yelling, screaming, or shouting! If you are angry at her, speak in gentle words, explaining more than
reprimanding. If you must get loud when angry, please keep it behind closed doors.

33. If her teeth require further care than cleanings and/or checkups, NO silver or amalgam! White caps and ceramic or ionomer fillings only.

34.I am to be notified of and able to participate in any and all medical decisions.

35. When the time comes for her to be returned to me, there is NOT to be any sort of struggle/hassle involved. Beginning either when I marry or when I am in the proper position to care for a child, she will return to me for a few interspersed months out of the year, for two or three years, and then periodically be asked where she would like to live until she chooses with me (if this means immediately, so be it. If this means never, so be it. But it is to be HER un-influenced decision.)


Again, this is how I would raise her myself if she were living with me. I cannot tell you what or how to run your household, but please try to accommodate most if not all of these.
I will also print this if you'd like, so a copy is always available. C= If any of this sounds pompous, it's not intended to be...just realise she is my Princess, perfect in every way, and I want to make sure she stays that way. I know you're not my mom in any way, but it's hard to let go. Also, I am more grateful than you will ever know that you chose to care for her. It means the world to me. I know this is a lot, and I know you know half of these already, but I like to be comprehensive, so if it's something you already know, just consider it an indication that we're on the same page. Love You!!!!!! SO much!!!!!!

As a parent, what is your opinion of these rules (ASIDE from the fact of "Omg that was soooo long."?
Really, "Hope", I make you sick? How about the bastard that raped me. Does he make you sick too? Tell me again how being sexually attacked equals choosing to get pregnant, cos I must have missed that part....

I have 4 old TVs - analogs - and I don't want to have to pay the recycling joint to take 'em off my hands. They charge $5 each! I know $20 doesn't seem like much but I'm not working and haven't got the extra cash for such things. I just want to get rid of the old sets. Will places like the Salvation Army or Goodwill take 'em for free?

My boyfriend and I viewed a really lovely house and consequently decided to buy it. We are now living in this house but since moving in we have noticed that some things aren't there that were shown to us when we viewed it. It may sound really petty and picky but it's the principal of it.

During the viewing the couple who lived in the house proudly showed us the lighting in the garden and how to turn it on...this lighting is now not there as they took it with them when they moved out.

In the bedroom the bedside cabinets and end of bed tv box (one that pops the tv up) are gone...even though the couple showed us how we would fit our television into this box and how it works. The bedside cabinets match the bedroom suite that still remains in the bedroom however they took the cabinets with them. This feature is listed in the sale document as bedroom suite with matching bedside cabinets.

They also removed the soft close toilet seats off the two toilets and fitted cheap new ones which were poorly fitted and still had the price tags on the bottom. Again they showed us this feature proudly when we viewed the property.

They also showed us a fitted recycle bin inside one of the kitchen cupboards and talked us through what they used it for etc....this is now gone as well...

We are very confused as to why they would have shown us these things if they intended to take them.

We have since contacted the seller to ask where these things that they proudly showed us are....and they have replied with the fact that because these items were not listed in the final contract they were free to take them. Ie. because we didnt specifically specify that we wanted them to leave those things they took them....

We are very confused because there must be a level of assumption somewhere along the line in property sales...for instance you don't specify you want the door handles left behind but you assume that when you move in they won't have taken them.... The same with us and these toilet seats....why on earth would we have specified that they leave the toilet seat behind? We assumed that we looked at a bathroom and when we moved in it would be the same bathroom. Would anyone else honestly list toilet seats in their agreement?

In our agreement it states that they will leave the fitted bedroom suite. Now the bedside cabinets were not fitted but we weren't to know this so we assumed that the fitted bedroom suite included the whole suite we saw...why would we think otherwise seeing as it was listed in the sale document that we read at the estate agents.

As for the bin and the garden lights...the assumption is that if they show you it and show you the operation of it that they intend to leave it behind and therefore why would we specifically list these things? As aren't we under the mutual agreement between seller and buyer that these things will be left. I know that's not legally binding but surely it cant be right to show off these features at a viewing and then have them not be there when the buyer moves in...otherwise you could renovate a house to an extremely high spec....sell it and then take everything out before the person moves in.

This is not right. Does anyone know about property law and if there is a loop hole in this. A contract is a contract and we understand that these things are not listed but not everything in the house is listed. On the bathroom list, the toilet is not listed at all...does that mean they could have taken the toilet away? It's ridiculous.

Advice please if you have it! It will be gratefully received!

I'm looking in getting rid of 4 non-working televisions. I live in Malden and money is tight. Any one have any suggestion on where a good company/program that will come and pick up these old televisions that have been sitting on my porch for years. Thanks!

Its heavy and the city will not do it for me.

Not long ago, i was in a relationship with a girl for quite some time. I was absolutely crazy about her and i did everything i thought possible to please her. Not in the materialistic sense, but i was loving. It seemed as though after some time she fell out with me and would devote her attention to stupid things like television shows. She would completely ignore me for stretches of time and channel her love to other guy friendsLike when she told a guy friend 'she loves him' on my own birthday for having spoken to her late in the night. I was more than willing to do that.I hoped and hoped. She'd tell me she was busy and continue chatting to her other guy friends, mainly one dude. She'd seem grumpy, truculent and hormonal with me while she was clearly a different and much more exciting person with her friends. I'm still surprised at how she didn't dump me. I managed to fool myself into thinking it was my fault and that i should bear the guilt of not doing enough, which i clearly was.

She was fickle. Like the swing of a pendulum, she'd bounce back to me but not for long at all. I never once picked a fight or sough to upset her. I was loving while she excelled at apathy. I felt completed recycled, like a household ornament. Then the news arrived. In a few months time i would be uprooted and moving to a different country. Things intensified. By this time, she barely acknowledged my existence. I plucked up the courage to ask her what the matter was but it seemed as though she didn't know why herself. She only got emotional on the last day and that was it. A few weeks (or month later) i receive an email from her stating that 'she thought it was her fault that we fell out with eachother.

As a result i was never confident what to do as everything i did seemed to produce the same, deadpan response from her.

6 months later, i'm now bitter at what was the biggest waste of energy and time in my life. I hate her.
I undestand that it's a tall order, but could anyone shed some light on why she was like this?

Can somebody who speaks French check these sentences for me please? I typed the English beside so you know which tense I'm trying to use.

1. Après être allée au Pays de Galles, nous voudrais aller en Irlande. (After having gone to Wales, we would like to go to Ireland)
2. Après avoir regardé la télévision, je joue sur l’ordinateur.(After having watched television, I play on the computer)
3.Après avoir recyclé, je me suis douché car je n’ai jamais un bain.(After having recycled, I had a a shower because I never have a bath.)
4. Après avoir rangé ma chambre, je m’occupe de mon neveu. (Atfer having tidied my room, I look after my nephew)
5.Après être restée dans une tente, j’ai passé ma vacance dans une caravane. (After having stayed in a tent, I passed my holiday in a caravan. )

I used être for what I thought were special verbs, thanks in advance :)
Malta C, thanks it's just that I wanted to say "I play on the computer" in the present tense not the past tense and the same for "I look after my nephew"

I'm a sophomore in high school and I'd like to know if I'm on the right track for attending certain schools, how to improve my chances, etc.

Last year, as a freshman, I only took 2 Honors courses (English & History). I've always been stronger in English than in math & science. I didn't realize as an 8th grader that choosing all honors was important. Note: I had been in all honors classes from 1st to 8th grade.
My GPA last year, unweighted, was a 3.4, and weighted was a 3.5

This year, I am in all honors classes & my projected GPA should be around a 3.7

Question: I am a year behind in math and science. I am currently in Honors Geometry & Honors Biology, which is what most honors students take in their freshman year. Will this hurt my admission to top schools? I am not going into a math/science field, but I'm still unsure.

As for extracurriculars, I am on my school's debate team. I started later in this year, as a novice debater and qualified for the state competition with my partner. I did not trophy, but I am taking a 1 week-long debate program at a school near my house this summer. Next year, I'll be debating on varsity and will hopefully trophy as much as possible.
I am a part of my school's literary magazine. The advisors also help us enter contests and get our work published. I recently entered a poetry contest, and am aiming to enter about 1 contest/publication per month. I won 1st place in an essay contest, 2nd place in a poetry contest & had a poem of mine published in middle school.
I am a member of my school's recycling club. I actually attempted to start an environmental club last spring, and it was going great but this year, unfortunately, all of my members dropped out. Since there are no other sophomores in the club, my goal is to become VP next year and President my senior year.
I have just joined Model UN and there are also no sophomores in this club, so it seems clear that I can become President or Co-President.
I volunteer every Sunday morning with a Jewish organization called Friendship Circle. I'm basically a buddy to a special needs child in a Sunday School environment. I am going to find out how to get on the FC Teen Board. I have volunteered about 24 hours so far.
Last summer, I found an internship all by myself, when I was 14. I interned at a television & film production company and helped edit and organize for a reality show on Lifetime. I got a great recommendation.
This summer, I am attending this Leadership Institute Program at Brown University for 2 weeks. I will be taking a class called Changing Business: Becoming a Social Entrepeneur. It sounds really interesting.
I'm trying to decide between going on a service trip in a foreign country (I already have traveled quite a bit: to Brazil, France twice, England, Jamaica twice, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Ireland) or finding an internship at a non-profit or a local newspaper/magazine. Next year, I'm thinking of going to Spain for a Spanish immersion (Since I take Spanish at school and want to become fluent) and maybe going to Georgetown for 1 week for a journalism program.
While at home this summer, I will take Spanish classes, continue my guitar lessons, take SAT classes in prep for the PSAT's this October (I may qualify for a scholarship), take tennis lessons, read a lot and maybe find a job.

Next year, I am taking 2 AP's: AP Lang & Comp and AP US History. The rest of my classes will be Honors. For electives, I'm taking creative writing, and trying to decide between photography and communications. I'd have to be apart of the school paper if I took communications, and our paper is doing horribly... I don't know.

So: Thoughts on whether I'm on the right track for schools such as Duke, Boston College, Tufts, Georgetown, Brown, etc, advice on what to do with my summer (to go on a trip or stay home and take classes/get an internship...go on a trip next year?), if it matters that I am not ahead in math/science, & how do my extracurriculars look? Too many, too few, what?

P.S. I'm interested in majoring in communications, journalism, environmental science, business...not positive right now.

Okay, here's my situation: I'm a fan of all things retro and old-fashioned, including televisions. I want to decorate my house using period-style furniture and electronics, and I want a retro television from the 1950's ( like the one on "I Love Lucy") but I want the modern amenities available in a new TV ( like color, digital reception, high definition) Also I don't like the look of new plastic flat screens, so I had an idea- I buy an old T.V. (I've already found a few online for cheap) and replace the old screen with a new appropriately-sized flatscreen to get the whole package of looks and functionality in one!

Here's the problem though... I heard from my friend that if you try to touch/remove a cathode ray tube from a t.v./monitor that you could badly electrocute or kill yourself because they store an absurd amount of electricity in them for a long time, I have good reason to believe him, though how should I go about getting rid of JUST the CRT? I know there are recycling places and stickers from the city you can get if you want to dispose of the entire thing, but I still want to keep the old case.... is there somebody who will do it for me? What do I do? Is it even worth the trouble, or should I just try and build a replica of a vintage television set sans-screen? I'm pretty adept at building things, so would that be the way to go?

Any serious input is appreciated!

Thanks, -Ronny
@Mr. Funeral: What kind of professional do you mean? Like some kind of electrician, or do they still have T.V. repair people? Most of the time when a T.V. breaks, you throw it away and get a new one....

I want to recycle my old televisions, and was wondering if there were any places in Morro Bay, California to do so. Also that would pay me to do so.

Or is there another way to safely dispose of them?

Just revise and rearrange PLease + thank you

1There are many negative effects linking themselves to the drastic climate change, or Global Warming. These effects include the polar ice caps melting, economic consequences, increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves, warmer waters and more hurricanes, and finally, the wide spread of diseases. These are only some of the effects of the climate change, but they can be stopped. It will take time, but there is a number of different ways to stop the change. For instance, doing simple things such as picking up trash in your neighborhood, local park, school, or even just on the sidewalks will make a big difference. There is little doubt that the planet is warming. Over the last century, the planets temperature has risen by around 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 of a degree Celsius). The warmest since the mid 1800’s was the 1990s. The hottest years recorded were 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003.
The United Nations panel on climate change projects that the global temperatures will rise 3-10 degrees Fahrenheit by the century’s end - enough to have the polar caps all but melted. If the ice caps melt, a vast majority of our countries borders will be under water. Monuments and great buildings, as well as homes and lives will be under water, including New York City. Experts say that fears surrounding climate change are overblown
Alarming predictions that climate change will lead to the extinction of hundreds of species may be exaggerated, according to Oxford scientists. So now we know what some of the causes are for global warming, how can we as individuals do our part to help save the planet?

The answer is simpler than you may think. You don’t have to go miles away from home to protest, or spend masses of money. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Only buy what you need; don’t stock the cupboards with things you may or may not use. Reuse whatever you can, like containers and paper, and recycle what you cannot reuse. It really is as simple as that.
Finally turning off unused sources of power such as televisions and heaters will help the environment, as well as save you money. If everybody stuck to these rules, we would be doing a great thing by protecting the earth. So please take into consideration what I have said, and try to do your part. After all, it will be our next generation that will feel the effects

Nowadays people live in the society where consumer goods are relatively cheaper to buy. Do you think its advantages outweigh its disadvantages? Within 40 min

Here is my essay:

Over the past few decades, the prices of consumer goods, such as televisions, mobiles, and computers, are significantly lower than in the past. As far as I am concerned, the impact of this phenomenon would be positive.

To begin with, in terms of individuals, various kinds of benefits would be brought about. Compared to before, cars, for instance, could be afforded by increasingly more families, which could apparently contribute to make people’s life more convenience. Moreover, as the expense of purchasing commodities has been in decline, family budgets are far more likely available for other investments, such as improving housing conditions or education, which could in turn improve qualities of lives on a daily basis.

Likewise, not only can individuals benefit from this downward trend, but also the society as a whole profit from it. With constantly decreasing of prices, the gap of consumption levels between high-income households and low-income ones reduced correspondingly. As a consequence, it is evident that the society would be more stable and harmonious. A recent study conducted by National Society Council revealed that, a decrease of average cost of consumer durables by 1% reduces the crime rate by 2.3%.

On the other hand, there are those who argue that the decline of prices would lead to waste. Commodities are so cheap that when those products are broken, customers tend to throw them away, rather than repair those produces as they used to be. However, thanks to spread the importance of recycling, this would be no longer a consideration.

In conclusion, the advantages of remaining comparatively lower prices of consumer goods could not only promote qualities of modern lives, but also contribute to the stability of the whole society.
