Once we were ungrouned from each other, I was allowed to go visit her again. After about a week of being able to be around each other we were allowed to go walking again. But visiting him was never to happen again.
The 3rd week she wanted to go back to his house. We bth were missing some things, and figured we had left them at his house.I had argued with her and told her I didn't want to get grouned again. She kept trying to talk me into it,she said we'd only stay for 30 minutes, I also made her swear she wouldn't drink before I said I'd go. She agreed and we went back.
Once we were at his house he was telling us how drunk we were and green when it came to the little amount it took to get us plasterd. He was laughing and making fun of us. I had a really low self esteame, so with the way he was laughing at us and the feeling I was being put down, made me hate what I had done even more.
I went to use the bathroom, on the sink was pics of me and her passed out and nude. It was obvious we were passed out, and that we were posed different in each pic. I was shocked and horrified. When we had awoken the day after getting drunk we had our clothes on, so I couldn't understand how he had gotten naked pics. I called her into the bathroom and showed them to her, she couldn't believe it either. So we left with the pics and didn't go back to his house. a month later I found out I was pregnant, by a black man, scared of what my parents would do.
This made me more depressed and my self esteem drop straight down. I didn't tell anyone for a long time. I was terrified how I'd be treated. At the time I wasn't sure my parents weren't predjudiced. So I had a fear of how I'd be treated by family when I had a mixed child.
Eventually I started showing, even through the baggy clothes I was wearing. My mother had thought I was pg, but wasn't positive till I was getting big enough that there was no doubt. She had said how disapointed she was, and how I had ruined my life.
I had always felt like a failer. I was constantly put down growing up. My parents had both had horrible childhoods. They didn't realize how their past was affecting their kids as we grew up. It was after most of us were grown when they realized how bad of parents they were. After they found out Iwas pg they constantly kept making comments about how terrible it was that I had gotten pg at such a young age. There was no looking on the bright side of anything. I was scared to tell them when it had happened
I was horribly depressed through the whole pregnancy. When I went into labor the fear of the color of the child weighed heavily. I still had no idea how they would react. Now I had never heard my parents speak illy of another race. But felt true colors would surface the moment eyes were laid opon my mixed child.
As I was about to give birth I told my mother( who was in the delivery room with me) that the childs father was black. To my disbelief, She was happy hearing this. She said how beautiful and exotic mixed children were. Then the next thing I know the Dr. said the babies head was crowning. I started halucinating. I remember telling mom that Ralphs cows were out and in our yard again. From what seemed that she was far off in a cave, came the sound of her voice, she said I "know sweety, it'll be alright. Then came the Dr's voice from as distant as hers had seemed.
He was saying that the babies head was stuck, and that my blood presure was too high. I didn't know what blood presssure was and since Iwas alreay having halucinations, I started imagining blood was squirting out at high pressue. Inside I was panicing. Then a nurse yelled that my blood presure had dropped, and that they were losing me and the baby. I don't remember anything after that.
My mom told me that when my blood presure had bottomed out, it was the same time the Dr. was struggling to get the babies head out. She said That I had passed out which made it even harder for the baby to come out, because I wasn't able to push. (look for pt 9)

I'm referring to a business with a physical location or even a home-based business. I'm not really referring to an online business, but it can be included. I know that there's an agency called SBA for small business loans, and there's a lot of self-help books and online material to research. But is it really easy to start a small business?

I have a business administration degree, so I have some idea what's needed to start one. I've had a couple of business ideas along the way, but it really is hard to find good help. And then there are the customers. So many of them are rude and childish that I don't want to deal with them. I'm also at a stage of my life where I feel the ship has already sailed.

So, any thoughts, comments or know-how?

Okay, we all make mistakes in spelling on here. I know I do. Sometimes I'm horrified to see my question with something misspelled so badly. But some of the stuff I see on here is ridiculous. I don't mean to make fun of anyone but one I saw recently just cracked me up. It asked "How often do you wash your hairs?" My first thiught was, which hairs are you talking about? Then one of the answers was "Never, I'm ball" I don't know maybe i'm in a silly mood but that just made me laugh so hard. On this same note, some of the opinions asked are just downright silly. Like one-"do you like wheat bread or white?" Now that is not a thought provoking question and requires an answer of one word. It could have been a poll but an opinion? I think not. I don't want to get anymore nasty comments so please keep it simple and clean. I don't mind if you disagree with me, in fact I like a good argument but no threats or bad language please!

When I was 16 very nieve,shy,timid. I was more like 12 when it came to knowledge of the world. I was spending time with a girl friend., and was supposed to stay the night with her, and return home the next day at 11:00 am. she wanted to go walking and we wound up a few blocke from her home at a friend of hers house. He was in his 30's, black, short for a man, but very friendly. He asked us to come in and visit for a while.
I was very shy around anyone I didn't know, so I tried to be invisible,and kinda hid behind her. I let her do most of the talking. Only when asked a direct question did I speak. He kepy makin comments about how quiet I was, and trying to get me involved with the conversation. I was so uncomfortable. I had an extreamly low self esteem, I didn't like attention on me.
He decided to make mixed drinks for us. I was totally against drinking alcohol. My friend on the other hand wasn't. He kept trying to talk me into drinking " just a little bit " to make me more relaxed. He said I was too tence and had a huge wall up. He said if I would just drink a little it would help me calm down and relax.
My friend had excepted a drink. She also was putting a little pressure on me to drink. But she was more friendly about it, and agreed that I was way too tense. So I let her talk me into sharing her drink. I was suprised at how sweet it tasted. I had thought alcohol would be nasty.
I was finding myself drinking it like it was tea or coke. before I knew it I was feeling more relaxed and it was easier for me to join in the conversation. I didn't know how tipsy it had made me till I got up to use the bathroom. I couldn't control my legs, and kept falling off balance.
They were laughing at me. At first it was a little funny, but the more I tried to control my movements the more I realized I couldn't. I was starting to get scared. I didn't like not having control over my body. When I finally made it back from the bathroom and sat down my fear was intence. I refused to drink anymore. I could hardly talk comprehensiblely. He told me to drink a glass of water quickly, that it would wash out the alcohol. I downed the drink.
The last time I remembered seeing the time was around 6:30 pm. The next thing I knew I was waking up in a bedroom I didn't recognize. She was beside me asleep. I woke her up, and asked what had happened and where we were. Once she was able to wake up enough she wasn't sure what had happened either.
Then the realazation came over us both, that we had stayed out all night, and that it was morning and we were in deep trouble. We quickly got up and grabbed our stuff and left. He wasn't home,so we locked the door when we left.
When we got to her house, her parents were in the living room. The look on their faces said it all. They immediatly started with lots of questions. Where had we been, why hadn't we called, what happened, did we know what we had put them through, ect,ect,ect. They listened to her explain what we had done, where we were, why we hadn't come home or called.
When she was finished telling them the truth of our horrible actions, then the anger and punishment came. They called my parents, and then took me home. Both her parents and mine had agreed to ground us from each other for 2 weeks. We both had extra chores and other things we were grounded from. Looking back it was a light punnishment. But at the time it seemed to be the end of the world. Those 2 weeks seemed like 2 months. (look for part 8)

If someone is not understanding on how you feel, Isn't better to help them understand how you feel? Should it bother them that your trying to help them understand better? So they don't put words in your mouth or think they now and find out letter that they never did understand what you meant or felt. Is it really fair to other person to be misunderstude?

I used to be a member of Greenfield before they merged with Toluna, so I'm fairly new to this particular site. Can anyone tell me how many points you get for creating opinion topics and polls, and how many points you get for commenting on opinion topics and polls? Also, does setting the maximum number of words per opinion mean anything in terms of how many points the creator or the commentor gets? Thanks in advance for all your help.

I'm really thinking of the pictures of the people of Walmart .. but I think most of the time, if you are over 50, you should think twice about it. I know I might get scorned for my opinion, but hey, I am over 50 myself, and haven't worn them out in public since my 40's. I do wear them around the house and in the yard. When I go out someplace, I'd rather have a nice pair of slacks, crop pants, or capris on, just because of the lumps, bumps, and spider veins! I guess if somebody had a more perfect body, it could be different. But interested in your opinion.
