Open Question: Who do YOU think has the reason?

Mother and Daughter story. Two years ago: the daughter would always, always ask for an ipod, for the longest time. The mother bought a brand new ipod that was a totally of $300 for the daughter. In about three months, the daughter loses it. A year ago, the mother bought a phone for $75, and gave it to her daughter. Sadly, in about a month, it gets stolen at school, and is never recovered. Last Christmas, a very generous aunt of the daughter, bought her another ipod. Then recently, the daughter gets invited to spend some time with another aunt in the morning for breakfast. There wasn't anything to eat at the house, so the daughter goes, taking both her younger siblings. Once the daughter gets home, the mother becomes immediately infuriated, after finding out she had left without permission. The daughter's excuse is, she forgot. She tells her mother sorry. The mother starts to talk about how that was dangerous, what if something happened to them. It's obvious that she must punish the daughter. The mother then grabs the ipod, and breaks it. The daughter tries to calm the mother down. The mother tells her, "It didn't cost me money. The one I bought you cost me $300." That's my friends story. And, I'd just like to hear some of your opinions. Be truthful, and also explain why you think either of them has the reason.

Open Question: What is the most painless way to commit suicide?

A rather unorthodox question, but yes. I am 15 years old, and I am asking what the most painless way to die is. My work is done. Why wait? I am 15 years old. I started working when I was 13. Currently I work at Global Meats in Toronto, ON. I work as a meat packager, working 13-15 hours a day, at minimum wage. I'm very mature, I love my parents, I am a peaceful person. But certain aspects in my life (financial, emotional) have deemed life so meaningless. I just want a quick way out. I'm 15 years old now; I have believed that I will never be anything but another worthless scum working a minimum wage job. Hence 'my work is done' Please. Slitting my wrists; is it quick? How long does it take until I reach unconciousness. Any type of fast acting poison that are easily accessible? If it's possible, please give your opinion as well in regards to a suicide note I'm writing to my mother. Note: Goodbye my mother; the being always in my heart. Predestined separation promises a future meeting. Goodbye my mother, without handshakes and words, but do not grieve or sadden your brow because in this life, theres nothing new in death. Even in life, there will be nothing newer. George

Open Question: Do Rangers really have to spend any money?

Rangers won the double last season without spending any money of note. Is it really necessary to spend any this season to keep Celtic at bay? It's not like they are shaping up to be any better than they were under wee Gordy. It's not how much money you have, it's all about how you make what you've got work for you. And the Tims still believe Peter Lawwell is some sort of master-mind! Looks like he's better suited at lining his own pockets more like!

Open Question: How dose my first chapter sound?

I am a Teen writing a teen novel Please disregard this Flaw. I am sorry about the first paragraph if it offends you. Chapter 1~ A new place a new Life Just imagine that your Dad died because of an I.E.D and your mom died in a car crash and you were holding your mom when she took her last breaths. Well, that’s what happened to me. Those were the worst days of my life. My mom’s name was Amber and my dad’s name was Adam. He was an Army soldier and she was basically a soldier’s wife. They were always together, and always on my butt about my homework. Well, now I’m on my way to live with my Uncle Harold Reid. He was a really great friend to my parents. I met him when I was about two. My cousin Mason and I are like brother and sister. He has always been like an older brother to me in many ways, but we don’t have a lot of chances to talk since he graduated about three years ago and is now in college. I’m taking his room until he comes and visits me in about a year or two. I’m a guitar-playing, singing girl. I don’t like country; I like rock, like Bullet for My Valentine and Drop Dead Gorgeous. I have one weakness though, and the band’s name is called Tickle Me Pink. They gave me a letter when I was 14. I’m Abby Smith, born and raised in Colorado. I’m supposed to be a tan, brunette, snowboarding, athletic, Denver Bronco-lover. But I’m not. I’m pale, blonde, I play guitar, I’m somewhat athletic, and a Jets lover. I’m fifteen, but I’ll be sixteen on December eighteenth. My birthday, as it happens, is on a Monday. The plane takes about 7 hours to get to Port Angels and then a whole 2 hours to get to Ione Washington. I like Doctor Russell. I go help clean her house and she gives me money so I can get new books and a new guitar. Her daughter, Ella Russell, is so cool. She helped me buy my first guitar. Uncle Harold really likes to show me that he cares about me, so he wraps his 5 foot 8 inch-tall body around me and squeezes me so hard that I can’t breathe. Then I say, “How’s it going?” He always tells me what happened in the last year or two, and then with my casual face I say, “Cool.” “I’m so sorry about your mom and dad, Abby,” he said as I arrived at the airport, with a tear in his eye. “You stay as long as you want, ok!” “Thank you Uncle H, I appreciate that you’re doing this for me.” He then wiped away the tear and said with a smile, “No problem.” I had only three suitcases with all my stuff from my house including the clothes from my drawers. It was no problem to get all the stuff in the car. Two hours of sitting in the car, we talked about Mason, Uncle H said he was doing ok and he was getting married to a girl named Sabrina I’m happy for him, but would be delighted to see him here at home. He told me about Ella and how she got married to a guy named Mark I’m happy to see she’s happy. He had already got me registered for school so I could go on Monday. Then we sat in the car for the rest of the time while I listened to Nickelback, my mom’s favorite band, on my new IPod. Ione was a gray place, unlike my friends I like having my room dark it was great for me here. The trees are like a maple oak mix it is really pretty here. The population was 508 people well actually it is 509 now that I’m here. We finally got to the house my Aunt Cheri came out screaming like always. It took me two trips to get all my bags upstairs. My room was a light green, with a mahogany bed it looked liked it was about to fall apart, the dresser was in the other room so I had double the space. I had my own bathroom which is great. The best thing I like about my Aunt Cheri and Uncle Harold was that they did’t care what I did just as long as I left a note or didn’t get hurt, that’s hard with me because I broke three bones while rollerblading. I put all my things away where I was supposed to and went down stairs to talk with my Aunt C. I made dinner macaroni and cheese with hot dogs. After dinner I put all the stuff away in the dish washer and went to take a shower. The shower wasn’t used often but it was ok with me. I then brushed my hair in to a pony tail and brushed my teeth. I said Good night to my Uncle H and Aunt C then went to bed with a glass of water waiting for school to start the next day. again please disregard the Grammer flaw I thank you for your time! I am thinking of calling it A New days end, Darkness or sun set. If you have a name for it please tell me I am Adding detail as we speak I am makeing it longer and more discriptive

Open Question: Wow.. would a friend charge you money for borrowing a game?

I thought in friendships sharing is supposed to be involved, like I wouldn't mind letting my friend borrow tons of my stuff free of charge, but he is asking that I either pay $40 to buy two of his video games, or rent it from him for $15!!!! What kind of friend makes you *rent* stuff from them??? I could go to Blockbuster and rent the games for half the price he's asking. Is it just me or does this sound ridiculous???

Open Question: Why does HDMI cable vary so much in price?

I have learned that HDMI cable, which stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface is often used for HDTV's. This is recommended for best picture and sound quality. It can be used for other technology as well. My question is, why is there such a difference in price for the HDMI cable. You can get very good HDMI cable for about $15-$20, which provides excellent output. But some places I have seen charge $100-$200 for an HDMI cable! What is the difference in the quality of the cable to justify this price? Is the $100 device intended for a different medium other than an HDTV where the $20 model would be fine. Why would you need to spend so much more money on an HDMI cable? Jeff

Open Question: Anyone familiar with Lace Wigs?

Open Question: Did you know that most waiters make less than 1/3 of the minimum wage from their employers?

The way it works is that the company assumes that because you get tips that will bump you up above minimum wage. If it doesn't then the company has to forfeit more money to the employee in order to make them earn minimum wage. This almost never happens or else the waiter is doing a poor job. Do you feel like more of a horrible person now knowing this and not tipping well? You should. As a waiter I make $2.10 an hour at a very nice restaurant. We also have tip share where I work so when I get no tip I actually LOSE money because I have to cough up money from my should-be tip amount for runners, bussers, and other employees. So unless the server has poured gravy in your lap on purpose and made a pass at your wife, you should always leave some kind of tip. Revenge doesn’t feel all that good in the long run, you’ll feel much better if you communicate clearly why you’re unhappy, and you may improve the restaurant.
