Well my teacher had us fill out this student info sheet and when it ased for an emergancy contact # I could do nothing but say that I do not know information and that all I knew was that was on file in the office. Well apperantly this was a grade and a significant amount of points was deducted from my grade all because I didn’t know certian info.

Also she made up this story about what if "There was a tornado and the place was blowing up and you were being rollled away on a stretcher and they tried both you parents and couldn’t contact them and they came up and asked you who else is there to call?"

and NO I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!

Do you think that it was fair for points to be decucted from my grade all because I didn’t know any emergancy contact # and all I knew that it was on file in the school office if my file ever made the transfer?

i have dreams quite frequently about my parents flat out not caring. some examples have been during a tornado i say i can’t get to the basement, and they say it isn’t a big deal. or i’ll do something extraordinary, win something, get a good grade, what ever, and they just don’t care. do you think like this translates to how i feel in "real life"?

i feel really under appreciated in general. not only by my parents. i feel like if i ever did just get up and leave, the only reason people would miss me or realize i was gone is because all the shit i do for them suddenly doesn’t get done. i feel like people have high expectations for me, so when things go well, no one really cares, its expected. then when something does go wrong for once, its a huge deal. i feel like the only times i’m recognized is when some thing’s gone wrong. again, this applies to life in general, not just my parents. i feel like the world just goes on around me sometimes though. like people don’t even make an effort with me. i have to initiate things. people can talk to each other, but i’m hardly in the picture.

i don’t want this to sound like a pity story or rant, i’m just trying to get stuff out there to see if it applies.

so basically my question is, are these reoccurring dreams simply a reflexion of how i feel in real life, that people just don’t care, or do you think this could mean something different? i get them at least once a week, sometimes more.

thanks ahead of time

What can I do to help myself and be a better person?
Please do not judge me as it is hard enough living with who I have clearly become as it is. I come from a loving, wonderful family. My parents both came from nothing and worked hard to provide for me everything they could. As a child I never went without but things were never just handed to me. Also when I was younger I experienced a lot of hard situations including losing a very close relative while they were babysitting me at the age of 10 as well as losing my best friend to a freak accident at the age of 12. Many times after that I had been close to people who had passed away whether due to sickness, old age, or accidents. My parents were always wonderful but never forced me into therapy. They did the best that they could. My friend boyfriend and I had adult feelings for each other but we were so young and immature and did not know how to handle them and we treated each other very poorly. It needless to say ended very bad. From that point I have realized I have no self control. NONE. It is mainly when it comes to relationships ending because in other aspects of my life I am able to demonstrate it. I expect to always get what I want and am not able to accept when I cannot control something. I am unable to deal with rejection and always think I am able to fix something and make it better and I lack the skills and control in order to just understand that some things need to be left alone. Which in turn when relationships end I am unable to handle it emotionally and I do "crazy" things. Not in the sense of destroying property but I fabricate stories in order to get attention from my ex. I say and do things without thinking about the consequences and just expect people to forgive me and stick around. I feel bad about myself and am unhappy with where I am in my life so I am not honest to others because I want them to think better of me. I care too much about what people who are not important think and care less about what more important people think. My behavior is erratic sometimes I will sleep all day and stay out all night and wake up and get really down on myself because I know that is not what I want to do and I know I was raised better than that. I had an abortion and at the time was with a guy with whom we were both truly in love. The emotions of the relationship were very high due to the pregnancy and the choice we made together. He asked me for space and I was unable to realize that it had nothing to do with me but with him being overwhelmed. I was unable to give this to him. Rather than back off I came on full force which obviously in turn pushed him away. He clearly broke up with me. I continuously contacted him, fabricated stories and said horrible things to him in order to gain attention from him. Months went by and even after all that I had not gotten myself the help emotionally that I needed and I entered another relationship with someone who was completely wrong for me and treated me less than I deserved. I would pick fights and say horrible things to him and expect him to just forgive me. For awhile he did until he had enough. Which in turn he as well asked for space. I was unable to give him the space he asked for and contacted him extensively. I fabricated stories and said mean things to him in order to gain attention from him. I am very concerned about what others think of me however my actions have created an image and reputation that I am "crazy" I am very embarrassed of this. This person I have become is not the person I know myself to be and it scares me. I know I am a good person and I don’t know how I got this far and how my issues have completely taken over my life. I constantly push people away and run away. I get very defensive and am not able to deal with my feelings. I do know right from wrong but I do not listen to my inner voice. When I do not have stability in my life, my life tornados out of control. I get so down on myself for not working or being able to find a job and the things I have done and way I have acted that I sleep all day and my eating schedule gets messed up. When I fight with friends or others I get mean and personal. I am very ashamed of the way I act. So basically my question is what can I do (obviously therapy 100%) to better myself and be the person I know I am. Please just honest, polite answers, we all go through rough times. Thank you

I felt the cold, bitter wind rush against my face, as I ran as fast as I could down the long narrow driveway. I could hear the thing behind my seeming to get closer every time my foot hit the ground. My heart was racing a hundred and fifty miles a hour, it seemed, but, I kept pushing myself, I couldn’t slow down, it would surely get me if I did. That thought motivated me enough to run a little faster, but, it still seemed to be getting closer. It was getting darker outside and before I knew it I was running in the woods, jumping over fallen trees and piles of brush. I could hear the thing behind me even louder now than before. My mouth was getting dry and my legs began to ache, I didn’t think I could go on any further and that’s when I collapsed.

When I woke up it was morning and the sun was shining bright. It was warm against my face, despite the bitter cold air. I was still lying in the woods where I collapsed the night before wandering why that thing didn’t just eat me. Now I am lost in the woods and don’t know where the heck I’m at. I don’t know where to go. The woods were creepy even in the day time, most of the trees were hunched over or fallen down like a tornado or some other strong storm had gone through it the night before. There were dead leaves on the ground and the sound of rushing water somewhere in the distance. I couldn’t see too far into the woods because of the thick gray fog that covered the ground. I sat down on a nearby fallen tree and started to think about where I was before the thing was chasing me.

I didn’t like being in the mountains, isolated, 12,000 feet from sea level. Looking out the back window of the jeep started to make me sick to my stomach the further we ascended up the mountain, but, this is the place my parents talked me into going for Easter vacation. We always go on vacation for Easter, but, we usually go to The Bahamas, not the mountains. This year they wanted to try something new. We arrived at the cabin later that afternoon. The cabin was pretty big. The door opened to the living room and a left turn took you to the first room. Going straight through the living room you entered the dining/kitchen. On the right of the kitchen was a bathroom. Walking through the kitchen to the sliding glass doors took you out to the huge deck with a hot tub and a drained swimming pool. Another bedroom and bathroom was located upstairs. Upstairs the cabin didn’t have a flat roof like most houses, the rafters were exposed, and it was in the shape of a triangle it looked rather nice. The cabin was decorated with painted pictures of the mountains and forests. The furnisher was a bluish green color touched up with small white flowers and green and blue pillows. The fireplace was my favourite item in the house, it, was covered in grey and brown river rock. The owners of the cabin provided us with wood in the shed out back. My parents and my little brother, left about 3 hours after we arrived and unpacked, to the store to get some groceries. I decided to get in the hot tub while they were gone. I got into my bathing suit and stepped in the water and immediately pulled my foot out, I didn’t expect it to be that hot. The next time I started slowly and it wasn’t as bad. The water was almost unbearably hot once I submerged my whole body in it. I was in the tub for about 10 minutes when I saw a strange figure in the woods staring straight at me with big bright red eyes, but, not the kind you see in movies, these eyes were shaped like a crescent moon or the tip of a fingernail. I got out of the hot tub and grabbed my towel to dry off my face to erase any illusions I might be seeing, but, what I wished to be an illusion was still the red eyed figure staring at me. I blinked a couple of times and it was gone, just like that. I turned around and walked back into the house locking the door behind me. I never wanted my parents as bad as I did then. I walked into the bathroom and put my clothes on. I walked in the living room to the jacket closet and grabbed my jacket out, it, was getting chilly in the house. I turned to look out the door again and the figure was on the back deck staring in the sliding glass door. The figure was huge, it seemed to be maybe 10 foot tall. It looked like it walked on two legs instead of four. I could tell it was hairy from the small thin spikes jutting randomly from the creatures body. It ran for the door but failed to break it. I screamed and jolted to the front door, throwing it open and started running up the driveway. That’s all I remembered.

My stomach was growling and my mouth was extremely dry, almost like I haven’t had anything to drink in 2 months. I felt the outside of my pockets to see if I could feel my cell phone, but, I had no luck, all I could find was a half smoked pack of Marlboro Menthols and a green and purple lighter that said Jessica along the flat side. Jessica was a tall slim girl. At 18 years old her parents let her smoke as long as she
At 18 years old her parents let her smoke as long as she kept up her own habit. Now this girl was lost in the woods with nothing to her name but a half smoked pack of cigarettes and a lighter that barely worked.

I can fell drops of water hitting my skin getting more and more often with each passing second, until, it was a steady drizzle. When I lifted my arm I could see ice pellets bouncing off the blue sleeve of my jacket. Great it was already cold and now it’s sleeting and raining. All the leaves had fallen off the trees leaving me with nowhere to take cover.

I decided that I wasn’t going to get anywhere if I didn’t move. The question was: Where do I go? I decided to go towards the sound of the rushing water to see if anyone lived on the water or if there was at least an empty cabin to wait till the weather got better.

I started out thinking that this twin thing was so easy. I didn’t have colicky infants and they always ate and slept together. I feel so blessed and love my babies! Around 6 months they stopped napping together and now that they are walking they are like tornadoes. I can’t go to the park or kids gym by myself. they work together to get into dangerous things. My house is very babyproofed, so now I don’t like to leave the house. The safety harnesses don’t work. They both lie on the floor and scream if I put them on them. I am SO freaking tired all the time. What is my question? I guess I just need some ideas or some encouragement. I feel like no one understands . Or maybe you are all fine and I just need a nap.
Thank you all for your answers. I personally think a safety harness is better than my kid running away. Why not be a little less judgmental on other parents since everyone’s children are different? I also can’t nap during the day because they do not nap at the same time anymore. Even if I struggle with the awake one and try to get them to go to sleep. It doesn’t work and they are learning No (14 mos), but pretty much not fazed by it at this point. I like a lot of your suggestions though and I will start using the daycare at my gym and I like the toy idea as well!

Hi, I go to college in Austin, but my parents live in an area right outside of Houston called the Woodlands. I talked to them only briefly after the storm, and they said they were fine and had tons of supplies but no power. Now I can’t seem to reach them on their cell phone either and I’m starting to get worried – it’s been two days that I haven’t heard anything. Does anyone know someone in that area? I just wanted to get some information on how everyone is holding up in the Woodlands, I hate not knowing! If you could let me know what you’ve heard, that would be great!

I live in an area that is very prone to tornadoes. We’ve been getting hit especially hard this year. My best friend of 15 years lost her parents and her 3 year old daughter to an F3 tornado that hit their house about 3 weeks ago. I’ve always had the mentality that it couldn’t happen to me or anyone I know, but I’ve most definitely changed my views now. A week after that happened we had tornado warnings again and a funnel cloud was spotted right above my house, no one was home at the time, thank GOD! So now I’m seriously looking into getting a good shelter. Anyone know of any companies in Arkansas or surrounding states that manufacture shelters? I just found out that FEMA will pay a percentage of the cost if you don’t have a shelter and you live in an area that gets hit frequently. Money is not really a problem, this is a top priority right now so I’ll find a way to scrape it together. Any info on types of shelters, manufacturers, installation, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t want to build one, I wouldn’t have near the knowledge to do that. I want to buy one. I just want to know what the best kind to get would be. And if anyone knows of a reputable place that sells them…..

Okay, so my car’s parked at the edge of a parking lot. the spots in the parking lot are slanted so it’s easier to park (each lane thing is a one-way thing.) since the back seat is covering the view when i turn towards the back to see, i use the rear view mirror as i’m backing out. i’m backing out slowly w/ my foot still on the breaks. i hear a honk. i’m kinda slow to react so when i’m pushing down to hit the breaks i already hit the car. i come out of the car (b/c my parents told me if i even move a little bit after hitting some bad people will claim a hit & run) so i get out of the car. the girl’s going crazy cussing & telling me go get my car away. so i get back in & go forward a bit (back into the parking space). i look out the window & she tells me to go up more. i do. then she gets out of the car. she’s all cussing like crazy, complaining that it’s her fourth accident. i just say "sorry" b/c i’m kinda in shock. first accident during the three years i’ve been driving. she asks if i have insurance. i say no i don’t think so (i’m not sure. i have it for the car.. maybe for myself but wasn’t sure at the moment). and then she calls her boyfriend or something. she asks him what to do by saying "hey oppa i’m at school but this girl just hit me while she was backing out in the parking lot. it’s her fault but she doesn’t have insurance. what should i do in this kind of situation?" & i’m thinking.. was it my fault?

WHAT SHE SAYS: she claims she was behind me.. but i didn’t see her in my rear view mirror. i heard her honk. but by the time i was pressing on the breaks i hit her. but she says that "otherwise the dent wouldn’t be on the driver’s side honey."

the DAMAGE: HERS- a white mark on the side of her car smaller than a volleyball. it’s dented in a bit. the sides of it are dented (like a mini crater. (the white thing is where my white matrix hit it) the white part is basically where it’s the ditch and the sides of it go upwards to the orginal place. but the thing is.. it’s right between the car door & the left front tire. the bent thing kinda gets in the way for hte door to open. but iono.. she was able to get out. there’s some white/silver scratches..sharp ones ..i don’t think i have marks like that on mine so i don’t know if it’s even from my car.
MINE-a black scratch/mark thingy (similar to the one on her black car) in the shape of a tornado (5 inches ish across). & now the bumper’s sticking out on the side. not a lot. maybe.. an inch? less than that i think. dunno. can’t measure with my eyes. almost an inch though.
now she wants repairs paid for. replacing the fender and painting the car door (where the sharp white/silver scratches are) barely shorter than 0. i don’t know if this is necessary info though. uhh HER CAR: `06 black honda civic (two door) & MY CAR: `09 white toyota matrix.

at first i assumed she was right & it was my fault since she’s been driving longer & she honked.. but after thinking.. iono. help please?

Additional Details
okay so i did a test thing. i parked (straight since i didn’t have much room to park crooked the way the parking spot was). but i had my little brother drive back & forth almost right behind me. i could see the top of his head & up (including the roof of the car). nothing more than that. but the fact that i could see that whole thing means i should’ve seen the top of her car after i hit it. & i realized i have a habit of looking at the side mirror. but i remember on that day i looked at the side mirror & realized my laptop was in a spot where it could slide of the seat.. so i fixed it & then looked in the rear view mirror & backed up. i don’t know what happened but i heard a honk &then by the time i was pressing harder on the breaks (im slow to react but i was also wondering if the honking was at me) i already hit her car. if the part of her car up to the edge of the hood & windshield was there..i understand how i couldn’t see it & she was there.. but thinkingofwhere her car was hit..

yes asking this again b/c no one else is answering.. and i really need to know or i’m gonna get charged 780 b/c she wants to replace the entire fender and paint her door again.

Okay… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2.5 years.. and we’ve been living together in an apartment for over a year now. He was living with his grandma after he graduated high school, and last year a tornado came through and tore the house apart.

Since she’s older, and his parents live right across the field from where the house was, they just added onto his parents house and she’s staying with them. instead of having a house built for herself.

she’s financing the house being built with money she got from the insurance companines… which was over 200,000. i think she’s spending 50-60k on the house.

well, she doesnt know i live with my boyfriend currently. and when this house gets built, it’s going to be his, well he’s going to pay her rent but he’s going to live there and own it one day. well shes totally against a couple living together when they arent married. and he tried to talk to her the other night about me moving in with him and she freaked out about it.
she said something along the lines of "im not gonna finance something like that" and that she doesnt approve of it.

she seems pretty set in her ways.. he’s gonna try to talk to her again over the weekend but i’m not getting my hopes up. how do i deal with this?

my 19 year old brother in law moved in with us about 5 months ago after a tornado came through and destroyed his grandparents house.he was living with them. at first it wasnt a problem he was a good kid.we didnt bother giving him a curfew or anything because we could trust him but now,he’s hanging around with the wrong people and has an attitude thats terrible.hes also partying every day and i do mean every day either drinking or smoking pot. he hangs around people that are 16 and none of them have vehicles so of course, they bum off him.he has a job so he buys his gas but they ride around all day and when he’s out of money usually within two days after he gets paid he comes beggin me for money.we dont make him pay rent or anything all he has to pay for is his gas and insurance for his vehicle.he has a curfew of 12 right now bc i got tired of stayin up worrying about him. last night he tried to borrow some money and i wouldnt give it to him.am i wrong for trying to help him clean up?
he does start paying 100 dollars a month next month in september and when he does that we are lifting the curfew.he has to pick up after himself and everything.my husband agrees with me on this but im usually the one to give in and give him the money anyway bc i get tired of getting the "feel bad for me bc my life sucks" routine when he doesnt realize how he has it made.i havent given in yet though.
to answer one of the questions:there parents are split up and they ended up moving in w/ there grandparents when they were really little. my bro in law was like 2 i think so he doesnt really remember much.they still have contact w/ there parents though.its just hard watchin a good kid who was in college drop out bc of bad grades and then see him go down this road.ive been there myself to and i just dont wanna see him go through what i did. we used to be close but now,he’s changed and thats what he doesnt understand if he would act right i wouldnt have any problem with givin him money.

Obama supporters have repeatedly stated that McCain is too old to run for President. McCain is 71 & Obama is 46.

Obama has stated there are 57 states in the Union.

Obama stated 10,000 people died in a kansas tornado that killed only 10 people.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18564159/

Obama stated that his parents met 4 years after he was born in Selma & his Kenyan diplomat father had a flag draped coffin.

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/03/sweet_column_item_obamas_gaffe.html

He stated that Canada’s Prime Minister is a President.

Obama said they speak Arabic in Afghanistan and there are poppy fields in Iraq.

http://www.willisms.com/archives/2007/08/obama_gaffe_che.html

In Oregon, he said he didn’t know anything about the Hanford Nuclear Facility, a well-known decommissioned nuclear production complex located on the Columbia River.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGZbgMQZATs

Is Obama worse at facts at age 46 than Senator McCain at age 71?
The Obama supporters below are not addressing the issues or question. This is typical of Obama and his supporters.

This question was for McCain Supporters.

There was a tornado warning earlier, but it calmed down. My parents don’t believe there’s going to be another tornado, but the thunder is lasting long periods, if that has anything to do with it and it’s greenish/gray outside. Medium rain. I don’t know if there will be one. Any good signs? My house also has no basement and is a one story. Any good place to hide?

I am sick of California and all of the fake people that live here… I want to be out in the country. I have done lots and lots of research and would love to move to Tennessee right away, but I have to convince my parents… They say there are things to consider first like the culture shock, the weather, etc. If we did move there however, we would move to middle or east TN because we’ve heard that there is a higher chance of tornadoes in west TN. ALSO, I will be going to college in a year and I am planning on going to UTK so if we did move it would have to be near the university. Can someone who lives in TN please tell me what the weather is like all year round, what the culture is like, how it may be different from CA, gas prices (ha), average income, average house cost, etc…. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE c:
Thanks Amy W! You were a really big help!

I just moved here with my parents and we’re having a pretty loud thunderstorm with a lot of lightening.

are tornadoes frequent here? It seems a bit cold for one… (It was a bit humid, but chilly today. had to wear a sweater.) but I don’t know anything much about Michigan weather except they get a lot of snow.

As a child growing up in Kansas in the 1950’s, I remember going outside with my parents during quite a few tornados to "enjoy the quiet" in what I was told was the "eye of the storm" for maybe 5-10 minutes. There was no wind, rain or birds chirping. Once the wind & rain started to pick up again, we headed back in to the basement for shelter for the other side of the storm. Was this really what occurred?

my 19 year old brother in law moved in with us about 5 months ago after a tornado came through and destroyed his grandparents house.he was living with them. at first it wasnt a problem he was a good kid.we didnt bother giving him a curfew or anything because we could trust him but now,he’s hanging around with the wrong people and has an attitude thats terrible.hes also partying every day and i do mean every day either drinking or smoking pot. he hangs around people that are 16 and none of them have vehicles so of course, they bum off him.he has a job so he buys his gas but they ride around all day and when he’s out of money usually within two days after he gets paid he comes beggin me for money.we dont make him pay rent or anything all he has to pay for is his gas and insurance for his vehicle.he has a curfew of 12 right now bc i got tired of stayin up worrying about him. last night he tried to borrow some money and i wouldnt give it to him.am i wrong for trying to help him clean up?
he does start paying 100 dollars a month next month in september and when he does that we are lifting the curfew.he has to pick up after himself and everything.my husband agrees with me on this but im usually the one to give in and give him the money anyway bc i get tired of getting the "feel bad for me bc my life sucks" routine when he doesnt realize how he has it made.i havent given in yet though.
to answer one of the questions:there parents are split up and they ended up moving in w/ there grandparents when they were really little. my bro in law was like 2 i think so he doesnt really remember much.they still have contact w/ there parents though.its just hard watchin a good kid who was in college drop out bc of bad grades and then see him go down this road.ive been there myself to and i just dont wanna see him go through what i did. we used to be close but now,he’s changed and thats what he doesnt understand if he would act right i wouldnt have any problem with givin him money.

At least three times a week I have a nightmare that a tornado is comign towards me and I have to save everybody! I have to save my husband my parents everybody and when I cant get them to shelter soon enough I’m scared everybody will die and itll be on me so I refuse to seek shelter without them! One time in my dream my mom was asleep so I picked her up and carried her to safety! My dreams are always diff tho. But it bothers me! What do tornado dreams mean?
