Questions about some of the Michael Jackson items at the Music Icons auction in New York City this weekend?
Hopefully, I will only get responses from sincere people here, but I can only wish.

I browsed the online catalog for the big Julien’s Music Icons auction that is taking place this Saturday in New York City. I am interested in it due to the number of extremely interesting items that are up for auction having to do with The King Michael Jackson, including the Holy Grail of all MJ items, the left-handed glove he wore for his performance of Bille Jean on the Motown 25 television special where we all watched him moonwalk into the stratosphere for the very first time.

I have a couple of questions (and thoughts) on some of the items I saw in the catalog.

1.) Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Wedding Souveneir Chocolate Bar – Since when did MJ and LMP have a wedding? They were secretly married in the Dominican Republic and I have never heard anything about a wedding celebration taking place after the fact. Have you? I was surprised to see this item. Let me clarify that I am a lifelong fan starting way back with the Jackson 5. I am 43 and literally grew up on J5 and MJ. I never really paid attention to nor followed much tabloidy stuff about him though, especially when it came to his private relationships. So, am I the only fan who is perplexed by this very traditional wedding souveneir being placed up for auction? Please fellow MJ fans, enlighten me!

2. This is probably more my own thought but I would like to hear the opinions of others on it as well. Of course, as I flipped through page after page of Michael’s life and memorabilia (and therefore my own life and memories), I first felt excited about the prospect of owning one of these items, then I felt sort of contemplative, then I felt a cold and hard feeling in the pit of my stomach, and finally I felt overwelming sadness and broke down into uncontrollable sobbing. I just felt the worst kind of sadness. Sadness for the greatness that was, sadness for what we have lost, sadness for his children, sadness for what the memories of his career represent for my own life and the loss and pain I have experienced…with his soundtrack playing behind it all the while, sadness for a mother who has lost her son, sadness for all he gave and never received back, sadness for all we took and never gave back to him, sadness to watch a man’s life…any man’s life…roll by on a computer screen with dollar amounts attached to their meaning, sadness for the pain and betrayal he suffered throughout his entire life, sadness for so many things. Just the worst kind of lonely and cold sadness. I haven’t felt this awful since I first heard the news of his death. Obviously, I didn’t know I was going to have this reaction or else I never would have looked at the catalog at all.

But now that I have seen it, there are specific items that I feel should be in the hands of his children and not some corporation or millionaire collector who would view them as "cool trinkets." Wouldn’t it be truly wonderful if one or more of the many very wealthy celebrities/friends who claim to have loved Michael so much stepped up to bid on and win these items and then gave them to his children?

Specifically: The Motown 25 Holy Grail glove described above, the Jackson 5 original oil painting, his worn BAD World Tour jacket, all of his original drawings and sketches (these are so personal), the original handwritten "Beat It" lyrics, the black "Fantasy" glove, the blue "Fantasy glove, the original hadwritten lyrics to "T.S." and "Granite".

Lisa Marie? Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa? Any of you greedy Sony bast*rds? How about you, Jordan Chandler? You have the cash.

What are your thoughts or opinions on this?

P.S. I’m sorry this was so long. You know how it is when you cry and type at the same time. I have to go get some more tissue and take out my conacts now…they’re all blurry. Thanks…I really appreciate it.

P.P.S. Please think twice before writing something really mean…I don’t think my heart can take it right now. Thanks.


1. they have a wedding, in dominican republic, i have the clip, it was removed by youtube.

2. your question is?

Wouldn’t it be truly wonderful if one or more of the many very wealthy celebrities/friends who claim to have loved Michael so much stepped up to bid on and win these items and then gave them to his children?
like all of them are sincere… haha… for those that care, they would bid silently without publicity.

1. my best friend of 8 years is turning 15 this friday, and idk whaat to get her. she made me a scrapbook for my birthday, so i feel i should do something sentimental back, but a picture frame is too plain and a pic. album would be the same? she loves sports&comedy and is super outgoing and such:)
2. one of my bestfriends, who is a guy, birthday is dec. 12 and i am clueless what to get him. we’ve always had a flirty relationship, but we wanted to just keep it as friends. so i need some fun ideas of what to get him. he loves theatre, texas tech, and girls haha. but hes not much into fashion like hollister or anything.
3. lastly, theres this guy i met who i think is super cute, but we’ve only known eachother for afew months now. we rarely hangout outside of school, but i hug him daily and id love to get closer with him. i want to get him something nice, but nothing thats too boyfriendish or wierd? hes into more of the fox, hollister stuff?
thanks for any of your help!
or maybe even a cologne idea that is fairly cheap but smells good? like i loove the hollister cologne, but its kind of pricy. so any ideas along that line works too:)

for #2 get him an ornament

for#3 get him an ornament or something from his favorite store

For person 1, why are you looking to BUY her something? MAKING her something would be vastly more appropriate.

I once copied down a small books’ worth of quotes, and put it together as a sort of book and gave that to a friend. Finding the quotes, and picking quotes and poems I thought she’d like, and then organizing them, etc. It was a fair amount of work; that’s what she appreciated: the thought, planning, and work involved.

You could consider making things for all three.

Another way to go is to buy a LOT of inexpensive things, both useful and silly. It doesn’t cost much in total, but, since it’s lots of individual items to open and enjoy, it seems bigger than a single big present.

I don't know what to do in this situation? (My Parents)?
This is long, I’m warning you now. lol
Alright, well I’m fourteen… I live with my parents and 2 brothers. My dad is an alcoholic and like for the longest time I can remember him being like that. When I was really young, like six, seven and eight.. he was always the "enemy".. and he was always beating on my mom and taking out his anger on all of us. When I was ten he ripped the hand rail off the stairs leading down to the basement, and he started storming up the stairs growling.. and swearing… and I got so scared that I called the police. i was on the phone, my little brother was beside me.. and i was pretty much wailing on the phone explaining that i thought my dad was going to hurt someone. he noticed i was on the phone and he was so angry, he stormed out of the house and tried to "run away:"… he was really drunk. Well the police got him and he wasn’t allowed to be near us.

The reason I just explained that is because it kind of ties into my problems now.
Like, I feel that he hates me for calling the police. Although after I did, he was sober for a good year or so. I just feel like that is a reason why he dislikes me so much.

Well, now.. we all still live as a family and he still drinks, he’s not as violent but he still has anger problems. It feels like everything I do is criticized, and I have SO much anger inside of me.

At school, I’m like SO relieved.. and i have no problems with anyone in my entire grade, and nobody has problems with me. I don’t swear and I don’t get angry about anything.

But at home, everything ticks me off. If my mom is smoking in the house, I’ll go crazy.. calling her mean names and screaming. It’s like this huge amount of anger.. I can’t even control it.
Now my dad is saying that I am causing all the problems in our house, and that if I want to leave I am more than welcome to. He says he doesn’t want to provide any money for me.. and that he can’t wait for the day I move out. I am so glad I have friends that really care about me. But I feel like my family hates me. They say I’m crazy and that I need medical help, and maybe I do. I don’t know. Why am I so angry whenever I’m at home?

Can someone help me please… ??!!?


No. You are not Crazy. You are just like me. But you should talk to someone about it okay. Or you could have a talk with our family. You have to say what you feel to them

My guess is that you grew up seeing your father act like this and now some of his behaviors towards your family has rubbed off on you. You seem like a nice enough person. Maybe it would be best for you to move in with a friend or another family member such as a grandparent or aunt/uncle. You’ve probably built up alot of resentment towards your father (for good reason) and subconsciously take it out on your family. I think a change in your living arrangement would relieve you of some stress.
Molly | Nov 23, 2009


This is understandable what you went through as a young child would affect anyone with anger problems if you did not deal with what happened, but to blame you is not fair in this they are to blame believe it or not, how sad that your father is this way, sorry.

Sky High

Sky High
Sky High (2005)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: It all begins at a secret school in the clouds like none on earth: Sky High, the first and only high school for kids with super-human powers going through crime-fighting puberty. At Sky High, the student body throw flames with their footballs, study Villainy with their Chemistry and are divided into Heroes and Sidekicks instead of jocks and geeks. It’s an out-of-this-world yet completely recognizable place where cool gadgetry, rampant bravery and awe-inspiring magical skills mix it up with parental battles, peer pressure and dating trouble—with explosively fun results. This year’s class features some of the best, brightest and most powerfully gifted super-teens ever assembled. And then there’s Will Stronghold. When you’re the son of the world’s most legendary super heroes, The Commander and Jetstream, people expect you to live up to the family name The problem is that Will is starting with no superpowers of his own and, worst of all, instead of joining the ranks of the Hero class, he finds himself relegated to being a Sidekick. Now he must somehow survive his freshman year while dealing with an overbearing gym coach, a bully with super speed and a dangerous rebel with a grudge (and the ability to shoot fire from his hands)—not to mention the usual angst, parental expectations and girl problems that accompany teenage life. But when an evil villain threatens his family, friends and the very sanctity of Sky High, Will must use his newfound superpowers to save the day and prove himself a Hero worthy of the family tradition.

how funny would you rate this comments and related storys accepted?
last friday me and two of my friends were on the late school bus (im 13, so im in 7th grade, and yes you squares out there we talk like this) so anyway i was sitting alone and this 6th grader sits in front of me and my two friends friend 1 and friend 2 sit across the aisle. ( i like my own seat) My friend starts being stupid so we all did, the Patrice asks me where I was going to be in 20 years. I said "well, I like that big red bridge in san fran." then my other freind looked at me with a grin and said " what are you crazy? the bridge is over water!" then i stared back with a quivering strait face and said "Oh YEAH! MERMAID! HIGH FIVE!" and raised my hand to her. the the sixth grader turns and squints his eyes like hes so smart and says " you know you people are L-A-M-E! you like so low to the ground and im in the sky." then he looked at me and said "DO YOU NEED PILLS? YOUR CRAZY!" then he turns to freind 1 (short temper) and says you look like a *ahem* word not to be said but starts with D and ends with K. she starts yelling! " you (* is a cuss word) * sucking son of a *! you look like a * with his head between my legs!" 6th grader: "no but at least i dont stuff a bra (hes a guy and my friends a real DD)" friend 1 says" yeah but ya daddy liked it!" and this went on till we all got tickets from the bus driver.


This is why I hate 6th graders. They are stupid, cursing, and take their lives WAY too seriously.

Help me! Which one is the best gaming laptop between these two laptops?

Hey, guys! Which one is the best laptop for gaming between these two laptops? HP Pavilion DV6-1260SE or HP HDX16-1370US?

Thank you.
@Adelia: I’m re-asking this question because I deleted my previous question because it was invalid.


Interesting question, and one that has been inquired into in the past by plenty of people. Some savvy people will in reality say you best be careful regarding what you ask in about issues such as these.
Adelia | Nov 25, 2009


I think HP HDX16-1370US is more sufficient among the other one.
King | Nov 25, 2009


DV6 has a great design, and featured with Radeon 4650. I choose DV6.
Lord Killearn | Nov 25, 2009


Undoubtedly the HP Pavilion DV6-1260SE. It will run all new games in 1336×768 resolution and graphics settings in highest. Its specs are better, and ATi 4650 is a very good graphics chip for laptop gaming.
Best value for money! Go for this.

Whats the most important aspect in chart for relationships?

besides sun sign compatibility what should one look for between 2 charts?

how important is moon sign compatibility?

what does all the conjuction/sextile/square/trine stuff mean?


Things to look at in a chart for relationship compatibility.

The 7th house is the house of relationships. Look at the 7th house, any planets in the 7th house and any aspects they make.

The Venus and Mars placements including sign, house and aspects.

Juno placements

The aspects made between both your chart and the chart of the other person. You can do this by getting a synastry chart. You can get a synastry chart from this website. http://www.astro-software.com/

"what does all the conjuction/sextile/square/trine stuff mean"? – These are called aspects. Here is a link that explains what they mean. http://www.cafeastrology.com/articles/as pectsinastrology.html

I am making a green bean casserole, should i use: FRESH BEANS, FROZEN, or CANNED?

and what is the difference? I know with many green bean casserole is not a favorite so I found a few recipes that got raving reviews. One of them (Martha Stewarts) called for fresh, and the others were canned, however a reviewer mentioned that they used frozen green beans as an alternative. What is best?

And mainly, what is the difference between these 3 (Fresh, Frozen, Canned) in the OVERALL production?

Thanks! 26/F making her first G.B.C. to a dinner party tomorrow night!
All info appreciated. Have a great day! Best answer passed out ASAP


It’s probably easier to use the canned beans, since they’re already cooked.

The frozen and fresh beans still need to be cooked.

Hope this helped!
Jill | Nov 25, 2009


I think that fresh green beans are best. The taste and texture is the difference. Usually canned green beans are soft where with fresh they are crisp. So its really your preference on if you prefer your green beans crispier or softer.
Nicole J | Nov 25, 2009


Sure fresh beans should be an option
Susan | Nov 25, 2009


Canned tends to taste better for my family. And, to make green bean casserole even better, use cream of chicken soup instaed of crem of mushroom.
EdwardCullenAddict | Nov 25, 2009


Fresh beans are well fresh uncooked beans. Frozen are about the same a fresh because they a also uncooked fresh beans that have just been frozen. Canned have already been cooked. Fresh and frozen will be crisp and crunchy in your casserole and canned will be soft. What you use would depend on your taste preferance I prefer to use canned for G.B.C.
Sarah | Nov 25, 2009


Fresh is ALWAYS best. Frozen comes a reasonably close 2nd when fresh are not available. Canned is always a distant 3rd and should only be used if the fresh or frozen are not available at all.

I’d wager that Martha Stewart’s recipe gets such rave reviews simply because she uses fresh beans.
Bostonian In MO | Nov 25, 2009


when ever we make it we use canned it tastes really good try it :]

Paranormal activity in my house?
remembe once when I was 13yearsold I was in my bedroom it was a dark night I was just listening to music I then desided to look out my bedroom curtains out of my window I then saw a man looking back at me with a evil angry expression on his face he had blonde curly hair he was wearing a blue jacket he was a very old looking man he didnt move just stared at me I then stopped looking out my bedroom window I just freaked out but the strange thing is he looked just like my local dentist who is still alive who lives across from me then a other night when I was 13yearsold I was in my bedroom again I this time desided to look under my bed I then saw a women under there she had pale white looking skin she was skinny she was wearing a green long sleeved top she had brown hair tiedup I backed away didnt’ look again then a other day when I was 13years I had just woke up I thought I heard a male voice say was she I looked around and saw nothing im 19yearsold now sometimes I also get the feeling im being watched I sometimes think I hear wispering too I also feel like thier is a wieght on top of me at night and that someone is sitting down on my bed I also feel like thier are people touching my back legs hips Ive never told anyone these things and just a few days ago I was just listening to music I thought I felt someone behind me I then felt someone poke me I then thought I heard a male voice inside my head say my name I then turned off the music then it all stopped!
A other question I have also do you think it could be possibilly be a Incubus or Succubus!

Is this turkey safe to eat?

To eat it, or not to eat it, that is the question!

My roommate bought a 12lb frozen turkey and has it in an ice chest with a bag of ice since Monday outside on the back porch. There was no room in the fridge. He injected it last evening and it was still mostly frozen, except around the very surface of the turkey. It’s still in it’s bag.
There was no cold water put in the ice chest as I’ve seen people suggest. The outside temperatures have been ranging in the 50-60’s.

He is a very good cook, but over time we’ve discovered we have a very different idea of what is safe to eat and what is not, also how to clean up after preparing meats, etc. He eats food that has been in the fridge for…eons, and doesn’t get sick. I have had food poisoning twice in my life, and am very careful about guidelines.

I don’t want to hurt his feelings and not eat his prepared food, or have a big discussion about it, and when it’s fried I might be sooooo tempted to eat it! I really would love to indulge in some fried turkey. My son will be coming as well, so not sure if I should ‘warn’ him or not.

Any idea of what the temp in the ice chest would fluctuate to and from? Last night the bag of ice was still about half full of ice.

Thanks for any input. I am thankful to have people to ask!


it will be fine
