I can't list the number of unique places in our fair city that have been run out as a result of gentrification or whatever the right term is. Soon, the whole country will be a string of strip malls with all the same stuff in them if this keeps up.

i live in the US but was born in Albania, It's been 10 years since I've been living in the US. I recently visited Albania and noticed a lot of things had changed. For example one of my friends father lets call him Jason, is a human trafficker, and so are his dads brothers, Yes I met Jason's father and uncles, seemed like really friendly people. But soon I noticed whenever I would be out going somewhere they'd always follow me, I'm 17, I'm not stupid I notice things. So i distanced myself from Jason a week before my summer vacation ended in Albania, and now I'm just learning that they're bothering my little 13 year old cousin, And I just have no idea what I should do. I'm afraid my uncle will find out that it's my fault they're starting to pick on my little cousin.jasons father, once kidnapped one of my neighboors in my house in Albania and sent her into prostitution in Italy , and of course my mom knew, because if you're albanian, then you know everybody knows everyones business. But I didn't actually think they'd try anything considering they were extremly friendly to meand dont say call the cops because seriously Albanias like half way around the world

A few months ago, I came home from bootcamp and I went out to lunch with my aunt at this upscale restaurant. We had this beautiful waitress who was asking me about the military and said her ex was a Marine. She seemed to be genuinely interested. Anyways, I can tell I made a good impression on her.We went back to this restaurant last week and we had the same waitress. I didn't recognize her because she was wearing glasses but she recognized me and said "How could I forget those eyes?". She also told me that her brother was in training for the military as well. Anyways, when she brought my aunt the check, she looked directly at me and said it was fantastic seeing me again. She also left her card with her name inside the bill. I realize she is a waitress and it may have been solely for business. But what would you do if you were me? Is there enough here to ask her out?

my boyfriend of one year has been giving me troubles since day 1. He's insecure, a chronic momma's boy, and afraid of being alone. He's 21 and behaves as if he was 18. His mother shelters him half to death, slowing his maturity. He doesn't have to work for anything - everything is given to him. His only bill is to pay for his gas. He's a darling otherwise. He's loving, caring, hilarious, and a great friend. My mom likes him, and that's always been hard to achieve. I adore his beautiful qualities and his heart of gold. But i come from a different world. I'm independent, i pay bills, and i aspire to be all the best i can. He just sort of rolls along through life, doing things here and there with no apparent desire or zest. I feel as if he's apathetic about life. As if all he wants is to play a little basketball, surf a little, work a little, watch some movies, and go out a little. It just seems so small. such a small world! I want to explode into life - work hard so that i might have a comfortable lifestyle for me and my future kids. He just doesnt seem to understand. Ive had to spell it out thousands of times and ive lost my patience. Ive grown tired of spelling things out. He's old enough to understand by now, i think. He should understand that arriving to work at 6:05 is officially late and 6:15 is not "on-time." He's immature and i feel as if i cant handle it anymore.We're the same age and i feel as if he is not on the same level of maturity as i am. I'm going to go to this nice college here in my hometown, i got this nice job working in an office, plus i own my own business. Im not in Kansas anymore! I just wish he would man-up and his mother would cut the cord and give him a swift kick in the a$$ - a reality check, whatever!He's lucky his parents provide for him. At my house, its just my mom and me. so i have to work to support myself and help her. he just gets fresh air on his gonads and chills out.I cant identify with him anymore and i dont know what to do. We talked about it and he's more anxious than ever. I feel trapped, stuck. i feel as if i don't believe him when he says he's going to change. yes he has changed in the time we have been together, but at the expense of my patience and respect for him.Strangers of Yahoo Answers, what should i do?Patty: I have offered ultimatums before and it has only heightened his anxiety. Plus, i don't want to feel as if he "must" grow up. I think he should grow up at his own pace. Nobody should be forced. I just really don't want to be the bad guy. Thanks for your response.

Now is this a case of , i want but i cant have or, is it ok/ legal to have blue flasing lights on the cars, we arent going to get sirens or anything of that sort. if Blue is ILLEGAL then how about orange? it may mean if its orange and it ''kinda'' works because we get there say 15 seconds earlier ,its great for us as its more chance of a success which means more profit and income? i thought id try hear before contacting other sourcesSo i ask you again in simple terms, Can i install blue flashing lights (not headlights) to a standard cars roof , like the emergency services have legally?Part two if no Is orange ok to install?

I am a 23 year old female, I have 3 beautiful boys and a very loving husband and two great businesses. For the past year (since I had my last baby) I have been feeling so paranoid and scared about dying or being ill. I am constantly on the computer looking up illnesses and matching symptoms and panicking. My family call me a hypochondriac which I don't deny. I fear I am making myself ill, I get headaches ( not bad ) neck and back pain and just other aches and pains. I don't go to the doctor very often, as I am terrified of going. I just want all of these horrible feelings to end and go back to normality. Please if there is someone who has gone or is going through this please share your story with me.Thanks in advance

First off im a white guy, i dont know if that makes a huge difference on beard hair.My beard is about 2.5" in length, and i am not looking to make it longer. My beard hairs are curly, and they sort of curl to the side. I want my beard to look similar to say a Tech N9ne beard (though nowhere near as long). Here is a pic:http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/news/00…How do i straighten and shape my beard? I just dont seem to understand this beard business, though i have been growing mine for quite some time now.

I just setup a Yahoo Voice Account. I did it for my business. I of course experimented with it. I called the number from my house phone and let it go to voice mail. It worked great and it went to my email account where I could retrieve it and listen to it as an MP3. All of that is good. Here's what I need to learn how to do. When it go's to voice mail a female voice with a British accent announces that "the party you are looking for is not here" etc...I want to know if I can change that to a message that relates to my business. If anyone knows if that's even possible (I would certainly think so) I'd really appreciate learning how.Thankswww.cashforyourteststrips.com

One friend of mine is a know it all. He is opinionated about politics, business, religion and has his list of movies and music that he prefers and wants me to watch about 5 or 6 movies every week and tell him what I think of them. But on this day I told him one of the DVD videos froze up after one and a half hours of playing and he thought I was talking about a video tape. I tried to talk about it but he kept ignoring me and talked to my wife while I was in mid sentence. I got angry and he sensed this but he seems to think that I get angry for no reason, after all he is perfect and I am just there to hang out with once in a while when he's in between visits with his father and going to lunch at the Hickory House as a ruteen activity and just happens to stop by for 10 minutes every Saturday with a bag full of videos. Sometimes he makes me feel like exploding and he does this because he gets bit of pleasure in it.

PLUS...there is too much to state...HELP

American businesses added 67,000 jobs in August, and the government lost 121,000 jobs, yielding a net loss of 54,000 jobs. Isn't this what conservatives want... more jobs added in business and a smaller government? And, since there's a net loss, they get to blame Obama for a sluggish economy.
