AnGeLiC
One lonely day I woke up,struggled through the dark trying to find my way to my one and only friend,and began to live the another life,a life created by the mechanical lights of my computer’s screen,a life where with just one click I could be on my way to mars in a war with an unfamiliar creatures or on my way to a derby match against anuneasy rival.
the room was all darkened as I really didn’t like the light ,the idea of waking up every single day in the same room looking at my extremly boring and grief causing room diodnt sound right,how much days I still have to be wasting ,16 years has already passed how many years left to be wasted.
I switched off the machine after I found no one descent enough to be chatting with or a game that I havent already finished to play.i opened the door room to find my beloved grandfather with his eyes full of curiousity about how much time I’ll be wasting before I start my everyday habit ‘studying’ what else .i tried hard not talking,but my highly sociable character always let me down,it always forbid me from not telling an intresting fact or a piece of info I just knew from my mechanical lights machine.always knowing that by the time iam finished talking all I will be getting a fake smile,an question that makes sense or a low gigle followed by”now go finish your homework”I headed to the kitchen to get a drink with my mind full of what am I going to do next on the computer.
as I went back to my room I found to parts of my machine were missing and my grandfather’s voice saying “WE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS DEVIL”it brought us nothing but c- report cards and now it have to go at least for a while” .
I wasn’t ready at all to go throw an argument so I just headed to my bed and closed my eyes.with my head full of thoughts about what will school bring the next morning.
that night in particular I had the most ockward dream ; I was standing on our green rounded planet with strange winged creatures hoovering around me the sun in the background,though the sun was there but still the sky was dark,suddenly the winged creatures approached me in a high speed.i woke up at that moment.my eyes full of fear that dream kept me up all night because i barely recalled a dream.i kept asking my self wether our planet was in danger then I recalled we already know its in danger,but what does the winged creatures have to do with it??..
did they symbolise good or evil ? sadness or happiness..warmness or coldness.
another morning came.i put on my school uniform and was all ready for another 7 hours of torture at school. As soon as I entered the class I went back to my seat at the end corner,I always tried to impres that girl who sat by me by adding positivity in the enviroment and trying to have a friendly chat,but she didn’t seem to be intrested at all.
it was time for lunch break,I went and sat down alone reading a book I borrowed from a friend,then dreda came out of nowhere she was flawless I have always wanted to talk to her but I never had the guts to do it,her eyes where so shiny they were so beautiful I couldn’t tell wether they were green or they were blue,her golden hair reflecting the sunglight and ofcourse her smell raised world in me far beneath my lonliness,she was always surrounded by girl friends or boy friends,boy friends most of the time which raised fires in me.
another school day was finally over,as I walked home all alone I found dreda walking infront of me,full of pride and self confidence,that was the perfect time to utter a word after continuasly watching her from a distance for a long time,I approached her slowly trying to figure out what am I going to say,she was just across the street,I took a deep long breath and began looking steadily in her eyes while crossing the road,suddenly I heard a sound it was so high that it summoned me from the imaginary moment I spent with dreda,followed by the sound of a car brakes and a loud scree, I looked at my right hand to find a huge bus about to run me to the ground my whole life just flashed infront of my eyes,all of a sudden everything just stood still and the whole place was so warm and full of delightful lights,I said to my self this must be heaven and iam surely was about to open a door to an other life,I looked to my right once more to see the same winged demon I saw in my deram,it was the most beautiful thing I ever seen in my whole life,its wings was full of colors,colors my eyes couldn’t identify they were clors I new to my eyes,its silver eyes looking at me,its light red hair swinging all the way to her waist,and it had a big strange symbol on its front I shouted whats going on ! am I dead ?? she gave a pale smile and every thing just disappeared she was gone the bus was gone,and myself standing infront of dreda she looked at me and said”UM HI.ARENT YOU THAT BOY FROM OUR SCHOOL?” I looked at her trying to observe what just happened,the lights.the colors the silver eyes,they all still filled my eyes,dreda spoke




Should he be in a booster seat?

My friends Brother is 8 and weighs around 85 lbs and is 52 inches tall. Should he be in a booster seat?




We are going to Disney World in two weeks. It’s me, my hubby, a 6 year old and an 8 month old. Does anyone have some helpful tips for bringing an infant with us?
Thanks for the information. We are staying at the Pop Century. Any advice on Pop Century and having an infant?




I’m going to be having a baby soon and I was wondering whether it would be easier/better to use an infant carseat (carrier) that I can easily take in and out of the car with the baby still in it or to use a convertible infant to toddler car seat instead?







New Volkswagen Beetle 1999?

I found a 1999 VW Beetle on Craigslist that is at a used car dealer about 35 minutes away from me. It is white, automatic, 116K miles, alloy wheels, leather seats, power windows, locks & mirror, Alarm, AM/FM Cassette & CD (don’t know if it’s a single or multi player), remote entry. That’s all it listed on the ad. I ran a carfax report & it shows only 1 owner, 2.0L L4 SFI SOHC 8V / Front Wheel Drive, power brakes, tilt steering wheel, A/C, dual front airbags….it also shows it’s passed all it’s SMOGS & 01/08/04 it shows the vehicle, engine & brakes were serviced….no recalls, accidents or problems, etc.

Kelley Blue Book shows that the dealer can charge 05 & that doesn’t include the alarm & remote entry (which is not listed on the KBB site to check off). Dealer listed the car on Craigslist (& when I called they said it was correct) for 95 Priced to sell fast. It’s almost 1/2 the KBB price. What do you think? I’m going to test drive this weekend. Also I saw another from a
a private seller, 1999 100K miles, red, manual transmission, 1.9L L4 FI / Front Wheel drive, power steering & brakes, A/C, AM/FM Cassette, tilt steering wheel, dual airbags, new tires states you can get 45 to 50 MPG as it is a rare diesel. Owner states they bought in 2002, needs new timing belt & needs "to replace the up & down window button on drivers side," has 6 CD player, seat fabric is great but has stains, hubby drove it 2 to 3 times a year from Northern CA to Santa Barbara
said there is a scratch on the rear fender, said that you can run it on biodiesel & with an inexpensive kit can run it on cooking oil or so she was told. Hubby died so that is why she is selling & she is willing to negotiate. Listed for 99. Carfax shows in 99 it was a lease, 2002 purchased from leasing company with 36,437 miles, now it’s at 100K, & it doesn’t show any problems, recalls or accidents.

With that said, which do you think I should go for & on the diesel, what would be the lowest you’d go? I wish the diesel wasn’t red but it has great gas mileage. I have a friend who is a Mercedes mechanic so he said he’d work on it.

Do these cars have any major problems that you know of? Anyone familar with the diesel bugs?

Thanks so much for you advise, help & time with my questions!! :o )
Forgot to mention on the diesel it is a GLS TDI, and KBB says that fair value is 80 and good is 85 for a private party. And I think I mentioned the seller has it listed as 88 & she said she is willing to negotiate. I’m not sure how much it will cost for parts & labor for the new timing belt and the up & down window button.




What is required to become an Infant-Parent Mental Health Specialist?
What type of graduate degree is required? What schools offer that degree? Any other certifications? What is the salary? Where is the best place to practice?




What do you think of th peom.?

Mind

My mind is a Idea
For Deaths Amazement
I blind in the Dark
As if I was the Devils Patent.
While I watch him rip me Apart
With no Hesitation.
As I watch my life fall
Into Hells Mansion.
Where people don’t think
But only bleed there pain,
Holding there hands out
While there hearts strolls
Threw there vines.
As I Sit there smiling
With a insane look on my Face
I take my first look
And takes there souls away
In front of there face
As they Scream in pain for Mercy.
Without a look of
Shame or gilt upon my face
As if I dream for this day to for take.
For something to swoop
Me off my feet
And into a Scared
Fearful innocent face
So he or she can look into my eyes
And into a place
Where god forbids
Any man to take.

Are 5 point harnesses street legal?

I was thinking about adding a 5 point seatbelt harness to my car and was wondering if it was street legal




Is it not safe to wear a seat belt when above 6' 2''?

I am 6’4” and got my first ticket for not wearing a seat belt today..anything I can do?
Also I have a friend who is 6’3” and was wearing his seat belt while in a crash. It messed up his back/spine pretty bad because of his height. I can guarantee he would have much rather had a few stitches in his head then a messed up back for life…he never wears his seat belt anymore




My toddler has the Graco MyRide 65 Convertible Car Seat and I was wondering if anyone used that on an airplane and if it fit in the seat. Also did anyone have a car seat not fit?




Find a picture and a description of an infant toy in your home. Write a very brief description of the toy, telling why it would appeal to a very young infant. How would the toy be used by a 2-month-old? How might the same toy be used by a 6-month-old?
Toy manufacturers often try to convince parents that infant toys will still be interesting to toddlers. How might a parent scaffold an infant`s interaction with this toy? How would this relate to the zone of proximal development?




I have seen a couple where you can position them on your hip but they all look really low




Is this a good start to my story?

The 64 Impalas engine roared to life as Niko Mikhail frantically floored the gas. As he clutched tightly to his silver cross pendent, muttering a prayer for what could only be his last minutes on earth. From his rear-view mirrors he could see the rapid flashes of cop cars. He knew that there was now no way to prove his innocence, the only witness he had for the crime he was accused of committing,lay dead in the back seat, He thought of his mother,wife and daughter who he had left behind in the old country, how he would probably never see them again. In need for a desperate miracle niko recalled the names of the saints, his mother and grandmother had instilled in him as a child. He was a man out of options, what very few he had to begin with. The only other means of escape left for him was fire, he starred at the deceased women and though of himself being in the same state. He reached to his glove compartment for Little Becca, his glock nine nicknamed pistol. As he saw the cars getting larger and large in his review Niko panicked. He reached out of the window and fired 4 glass shattering shots that missed his targets by miles. He knew now there was no turning back it was life or death. As he came around an intersection he came face to face with a police blockade, all armed with bullet proof shields. Nikos car collided with a bystanders ford pick up instantaneously killing the driver and sending Niko flying through the windshield. As he managed to wipe the glass out of his now broken arm warning shots were fired. "surrender now or we’ll be forced to exert lethal force!!!". Niko looked at the crowd of officers and then down to the palm of his hand, Little Becca had one bullet left. Nikos life had been ruined by corruption,lies and broken promises, this hadn’t been what he left his country for, this wasn’t the American dream he had so longed for. Niko outstretched his arm and steadied his aim, a volley of shots entered into Niko as he fired off his shot.

I am due in a few weeks. Because of arthritis issues I did not get an "infant carrier" car seat – I have chosen one of those convertible seats. So, I don’t have a baby carrier.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can best handle baby in a restaurant without the infant carrier? I was hoping to use a moses basket in the booths, but it’s SO huge! Any other ideas?
