How do you and your wife/husband spend your tax return?
This is our husbands first year that we filled jointly? I would like to buy new items for are kitchen and then let him have whatever is left for himself to get what he wants. Hed like to use all the money to pay bills. My only issue with this is his "bills" are gifts and trips he took with his ex girlfriend. I just feel its unfair for him to expect are whole return to go to that. When I never asked him to pay my school loans or other debt I occured befor we meet. Now I am not stupid I understand it is all OUR debt but I don’t think we should expect the return and apply it to our cost of living. And if we cannot afford are bills with out the return we need to look into getting rid of some bills.

NE way thats here nore there I was wondering how you guys handle it?

Thanks!!!


I see your point, and you should be able to use it for something for yourself, You worked hard all year and should get you something that you been wanting and saying to yourself next time. Well this is your next time.
Yes the debt is there but you are right why should you spend your half on his ex gf.
Good luck! Buy that kitchen item and don’t fell guilty about!.
Or you could just put it in a saving account and neither of you touch it and save it for a raining day, or a small vacation.
but don’t pay his bills

Why haven’t he spent money on you?

You mean you let him get away with spending lavishly on an EX and YOU haven’t demanded the SAME!

Come on, jeeze, don’t be a "cheap date".

I think you know the answer, NOW you need to KNOW how you are representing yourself in this marriage.

MAKE HIM SPEND ON YOU TOO!

If not he is going to take you for a ride, if he hasn’t already.
just me | Feb 01, 2010


I would tell him that you need X amount for household needs, then the rest can be put on "the bills".

You’re in a catch 22. Sure, you resent that the "bills" are gifts with his ex-girlfriend…but if he doesn’t pay them, your MARRIAGE goes further into debt.

I know exactly where you’re coming from. I married into debt. But, you gotta do what you gotta do as a wife, and if that means pay off those "gifts", then pay them off, even if you have to split your refund 50/50.

The sooner you do it, the less resentment you’ll have.

What's Your Opinion About Skins? (Tv Show.)?
Okay, I know few Americans know about it, but I adore it completely and 100%. It’s easily my favorite TV show. Sadly I have to watch it online. :(

So, a few questions I wanted to ask Skin fans:

1)Do you like this show? Why or why not?
2)What’s your favorite character + Why? (Can be two from different generations.)
3)Least favorite character?
4)Favorite couple?
5)Favorite quote?
6)First or Second Generation?
7)Do you think the MTV version of it will be good?
8)Character crush?

You can add questions here or there. I just want to see the feedback. :)
For those of you that don’t know about it, you should definitely look it up. It’s pretty much like Gossip Girl on crack. And a thousand times better. With sex, drugs, cursing, naked people, blown up homosexuality, etc, it’s probably not for everyone. But it is a show for teens, and all of the above is life, no? Wiki it, for sure.

1) I ADORE this show. By far, my favorite television series. It’s so well written and point-blank genius that it’s hard not to love it. The characters are so complex yet simple, the plot is perfect, and it’s a great escape from your life… to see something so realistic it’s better then reality tv. There. LOL
2) Cassie + Effy; both of the characters are super intricate. Amazing style, great quotes, ugh- I love them!
3)Michelle. I just never seemed to get the hang of her. I always felt she just wanted sex. And more sex. And some more.
4)Naomi + Emily. :)
5)"Just be." – Effy , Season 3.
6)Hmm, this is tough. Naturally I loved the first gen, but the second gen was a switch that I wasn’t angry about. I’ll have to say both. :)
7)Uhm, no. F`uck off, MTV.
8)Freddie, for sure. And Maxxie. Too bad he’s gay. :(

Now your turn! Sorry this was so long. xD


1) yeah i like it ive watched it since the begining.
2)i like freddie b/c his fit, cook b/c hes got a godd sense of humor ha. and i liked cassie b/c she was so weird but made me lol.
3) tomas’ girlfriend panda or whatever her name is,, shes boring.
4) ummmm cassie and that glasses dude .. dahm cant remember his name.
5) i dont know it that much to have a fav quote.
6) ohh ermm well 2nd id say.
7) i didnt know they were douing one, whats that gna be like?
8) Freddie ;) oh yeah i remember maxxie, hmm he was ok lol. :)

I think Aspergers is ruining my life?
I have aspergers syndrome as well as social phobia and i have really bad social skills. whenever i talk to someone they end up hating me even my brother and my mum said to him ’she has aspergers’ and he said ‘duh’ so it must be really obvious. And i find it difficult to make friends. I dont know why im telling Y!A community i guess im just frustrated! Help me!
How will i cope when i get a boyfriend?


Hmm, well I’m someone who may or may not have this condition to a degree. There’s no real need to diagnose me, though I have looked into it extensively.

If my advice means anything, I say to consider yourself not as someone with a disease but as a person who is one with the disorder. It will be with you your whole life; it is you. It is how you think. So yes these situations will happen again and again, accept that. It may be negative that you have this Aspergers net to fall back into when people question how you act, because you get labeled as something that a lot of people will simply avoid.

There are things people can do to treat Aspergers, though they don’t help everyone. There are dietary changes, forms of cognitive or behavioral therapy/management depending on your needs. Social concerns are the least likely for you to find a magic solution to. To beat a dead horse, you could push yourself to talk to people in any situation and with time and age you will become accustomed to it and learn to fit in better.

I hope it helps some.

PS. The quotes on your profile are great, especially the first.
Pareidolia | Feb 04, 2010


First of all, your family needs to help you. Your syndrome doesn’t just affect you, but it also affects your family, and they need to help you in living with it. Things like this affect whole families, and they need to understand that and be much more patient. I’d advise you to sit down and talk with them and ask them to understand that those sort of remarks do not help whatsoever.

My boyfriend has social anxiety, and I’ve seen him develop greatly within the past few years. Part of it has been having someone to open up to and still be 100% supportive of him, while still being able to agree that he does have flaws and help him find ways to accept or change them. He’s also had to ease himself out of his normal environment. He used to have trouble making friends, and he still does, but not nearly as badly as he used to.

A good first step to overcoming this, or at least improving upon it, is to accept yourself as you are. You may not feel comfortable in some situations while attempting to make friends, which is fine! Some people are more comfortable making friends in parties, while some freeze; those who freeze may require a more structured environment, such as a classroom or a club. There is nothing wrong with that at all. Everyone has flaws, but you ought to accept them or find a healthy way to change the behavior which causes them.

As much as it might really suck to do, you may want to try talking to a school counselor. It’s what they are there for, and they are trained to help you with these sort of things! Just remember that you are not alone in feeling this. Good luck (:

Plot: Why are Americans so fat? Two words: fast food. What would happen if you ate nothing but fast food for an entire month? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules? For 30 days he can’t eat or drink anything that isn’t on McDonald’s menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked. Spurlock treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and an equal number of regular folk while chowing down at the Golden Arches. Spurlock’s grueling drive-through diet spirals him into a physical and emotional metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac.

Can you help with Mortgage Calculator in Java?
Here’s my assignment? Write the program in Java (with a graphical user interface) and have it calculate and display the mortgage payment amount from user input of the amount of the mortgage, the term of the mortgage, and the interest rate of the mortgage. Allow the user to loop back and enter new data or quit. Please insert comments in the program to document the program.

I’m still getting errors! (see below) :-(

There was a lot wrong with this. You had duplicate main methods, you tried to import while making a variable declaration (which would be a handy feature I suppose, but is invalid in Java), and forgot to extend the JFrame class and implement ActionListener. I fixed these and some other issues so that it would compile. Getting the logic to work is up to you though.

Parents, do you allow "guns"(toys) in your house?
I have a 4 year old stepson and we don’t believe in keeping him in a "bubble" his whole life will help him, if you get what I mean.(Everything he sees/plays with/etc is appropriate for his age) Anyhow, we do have a rule we don’t allow toy guns in the house or for him to have them. The only kind he is allowed to have is squirt guns in the Summer. I babysit another 4 year old boy, and today he came over with a Nerf gun. I’m going to let his mom know we don’t allow those kinds of toys at our house. Anyhow, what are your thoughts on this? Do you let your child have "gun toys" at this age, not at all, or when they’re older and understand better?

*All daycares I have worked at(3) didn’t allow children to have "guns" as well.
Kat-he knows the difference between the fake guns and the real ones. I just don’t see the point of having one of those toy guns in the house. I didn’t say a Nerf gun and Squirt gun was different. Just that the boy I babysit brought one over today.


I let my 5 year old son have toy guns.He likes the nerf guns and him and the kids in the neighborhood always play with them.I dont see what the big deal is,its just the nature of being a boy.Even if I did take away his nerf gun,he’d still find a way to make anything into a gun.

What am I politically ? Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Liberal, Conservative or something else ?
I am politically confused. I want to where do I lean ? SO I i am going to write down the major issues and where I stand,, and I want YOU guys to decide for me based on what I write for ALL the issues and decice what am I ?

Foreign Policy/Terrorism:
I think we should fight Al-Qaeda and the Taliban whereve it is, and kill its members without mercy, but we should not invade countries that have nothing to do Al-Qaeda like Iraq(Hussen was a moderate muslim) or Iran(they are shia, not sunni). But I do agree with Afghanistan’s mission and wish we send more troops.
Israel must be supported but talking with rogue leaders should be given a chance. We also must maintain are nuclear capability and never surrende it.
America should work with its allies, but it should also put pressure on them to share burdens. We should have a New World Older and help in humanitarian mission, but not take sides in a civil war.

Healthcare:
I think people should choose what they want. If people can afford private insurance, they should have it. If people cannot afford, there should be options for poor people. I also think government should be involved to an extent and make sure people, especially women remain slim, and don’t get fat, cause we lack having thin women.Veterans should be treated with more respect, and have half price on medical costs. Also doctors cannot be sued for no reason. That must stop. There must be tort reform. Only doctors that are reckless without any regard should be sued.

Education:
Teachers should be paid more if they are good teachers. Period. Good teaching means the kids learn and do well in class. There should be extra help provided to students in case they don’t understand the material. Critical thinking skills and logic must be taught early in a child’s life to prepare them for standardized tests. Also Corporal punishment like caning should be used on parents not involved in kids education. Evolution and sex eduaction must be taught in school. Reasonable accomodation should be provided to kids that wish to pray. Gay curriculum like that penguin book is not needed in schools. Gays only need to be mentioned during Sex ed. Our budget must spend more on education and work-fare programs for those that are are not sure of college should be allowed.

Gun Control:
People should have whatever guns even assault rifles, BUT as long as they pass strict background tests. If people are found to be reckless, they have no business having guns. Also no hard drug users should ever have guns. Drug testing should be required.

Energy:
We must invest in many forms of alternative energy. Oil should not be the only one. More experimentation and exploration needs to be done. At the same time, there should be investment in Euroepan and Japanese style of high speed rail and urban transportation to Europeanize American cities. The Amtrak Acela is a joke. It’s not real HSR. Real HSR means 250 mph to 300 mph. Even China has us beat on this. I am not talking about coast to coast, but regional services like in the Northeast, Southwest, Northwest, Midwest, and Southeast should have high speed rail corridors. Eminent domain must be used and protests against this should be crushed brutally. We must have more urban transportation European/Japan style transporation in other cities of America as well aside from NYC, Chicago, Boston, and DC.

Economy:
Capitalism and free markets shouhd be allowed but with reason. Local and small business must never be allowed to suffer.Compeition is key. A McDonalds or Wallmart cannot for example move nearby a 100 year old bar/restaraunt or a mom and pop shop . It will destroy business. There should be free trade, but CEOs cannot make indiscriminate amounts of money or cheat people to make their profits.
1 or 2 Months of paid vacaction should be allowed in workers of high skilled jobs.

Crime/Judical:
Death penalty should be reserved for those that commit cold, calutated, pre-mediated and heinous crimes. If a a gunman robs a shop, and kills the clerk cause the clerk grabbed his gun, that is not enough to sentence to death, life in prison is enough, BUT if the gunman ties the clerk up , after the clerk surrendered the money, and shoots, him, then the gunman should get automatic death. Child molesters(those that commit crimes to kids under 12) should be sent to work labor camps. Judges that give light sentencesd to them should join them in those camps.

Immigration: There must be a large wall on the southern border due to the high crime rate. It must be large enough that they cannot cross. Coast guard must increase patrols in our water. LEGAL immigration is fine as long as people wait in line. Foreign students studying engineering or medicine with good grades that graduate with a Masters or MD should have the right to be U.S. citizens because they will contribute greatly. For unskilled workers, a guest worker program should be allowed since there are cer
