My girlfriend of three years and I are going to school to be Doctors ( we want to be Pediatricians and specialize in mental disabilities) so I know that we will have a pretty income after we pay off our schooling. I don’t want to just buy things with the money I get. I would like to make investments that will allow my income to grow more (Not to be greedy; I just want to allow my family to grow up financially secure after watching my family’s finances crumble from the economy). I have already invested three hundred dollars in a particular stock which I plan to keep until I finish my residency and begin my medical career. I also invested 100 dollars in a certain thing my father talked me into doing because it has the potential of a 1,000% to 30,000% increase and if that goes through, I want to begin making investments then and of course save some to buy my girlfriend a nice ring and allow us to have the wedding we want to have (we want to get married at the Magic Kingdom at Disney in Orlando). What are some good investment ideas when I am making a pretty penny?
I have various video clips, most of which I have taken on my Panasonic Lumix digital camera. Other clips have been emailed to me through various other formats. I am trying to put them all together as a surprise video for the bride during her bridal shower; however, Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker are not recognizing a lot of the clips. Also, there are a few that it did recognize, yet only the sound comes through with no picture. Can someone please recommend the simplest, easiest to use program out there? Or, can you instruct me on how I should go about doing this (compile clips and bring them to a professional, convert the clips, etc.)?
The bridal shower is in 3 days, so I am in need of help asap.
Thank you so much!

Young and Dumb
When I was in 17 years old I transferred from Erie High School to Pittsburg High School. My senior year had just begun, and I was almost finished with school. It seemed kind of silly to switch when I had just one year left. It wasn’t because my family had moved, or because they got a job somewhere else, it was because I was engaged. I transferred schools because I had decided to move in with my fiancé. I had heard it all from everyone. I wasn’t going to amount to anything, I was going to drop out, and I was throwing my life away. Of course I didn’t listen to what everyone told me, I had known him since I was 12 years old and knew what I was doing.
I had a lot going on in my childhood so I stayed at my Aunt’s house a lot. I was really close to my older cousin and he was often like an older brother to me. He’d have his friends over sometimes and we all liked to hang out, and naturally I started crushing on his best friend. But because he was 4 years older than me, it was not easy to be together. We went through the whole parent clash thing off and on for years, but he still stuck around. This proved to my mom that he really cared about me and at 17 I got engaged and she gave me the ok to move in with him.
I was always a fairly good student and made good grades and loved school. And I kept that up after I transferred. I was so eager though, to start my life with my fiancé that we started planning our wedding. When I had talked to my mom about this she said she wouldn’t sign the marriage papers until she saw that diploma. So here I was, going to school during the day, and an after school program in the evening to get those extra credits I needed in order to graduate early. And by semester in December ’06 I was graduated. My mom was really shocked and by no means expected that I would do that, but she held up to her word and agreed to let us get married.
The planning didn’t take long, as I was not concerned with a huge ceremony but only to be happy and begin my new journey with him as my husband. Again I was tried to be talked out of it, that I was much too young and should wait. I just didn’t see a point. Everyone else always says to wait and you need to live first, but to me, that was living. My main priority in life was to be happy and to start a family. So on February 28th, 2007, I married my best friend.
We have now been married for four years and have two beautiful children. Not every step of the way was easy. It has been a great journey and adventure all along the way. It’s had its up’s and downs but I wouldn’t trade what I have, and how close of a bond our family has for anything. So many people try to direct you and focus you on the order in how life should play out. And to me that just doesn’t make since. I don’t think there’s any certain way or “order” to live your life. I got married young, had two children, and I’m just now starting college. But my life is perfect to me.
They will only be small a bit bigger that the size of a golf ball. They will be made of felt and have wadding in them (i want them to be scented so people can hang them in there wardrobe.
Please don’t tell me to make cookies or have chocolate’s as my favors that is not what i want to do.
Thanks
It’s my best friends anniversary and I wanted to make them a card since I’m broke at the moment, I’m a horrible artist so I figured I would use my iPad, my idea was to take anime characters they both look like set them side by Side and write something, how can I do this and make it look good ???
When I went to visit my mom for her wedding, I was forced to stay there in the States. My parents are divorced, and my mom remarried. I really missed all my friends, my school, my entire lifestyle in Sri Lanka, and being in the States was depressing and not for me. I visited my dad in Sri Lanka this summer, and I spoke to him and told him that I wanted to stay here in SL. He said that I could, and my friends are all excited and happy for me. I just have to talk to my mom and convince her now… But, is risking my education and relationship with my mom worth coming back to SL? Am I making a mistake? I was happy in SL, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to catch up with my classmates and get life back to normal. And, I’m 16 years old.
my aunts friend asked me to make a slideshow for her nephews wedding, just pictures no video clips. i have made it before for my cousins engagement party she paid me 50 plus they gave me an extra $75. i of course told them id do it for free since its family. anyway, i put the pics on do the effects and music. sometimes i scan pics for them if they dont have a scanner for the old pics and load them on myself if its not already on a disk. my question is how much should i charge? i dont want to under or over charge. i do it off a website that sends me the dvd should i do how much it costs on the site plus a little extra? i think on the site its between 30-40 for each copy. so i told my aunt how much it was then she decided to give me extra along with it. what do people normally charge for making slideshows? the one im making now is a few minutes over 9 minutes long and basically staying at that length, any ideas on pricing range? thank you!
We’ve tried talking but it just made things worse between all of us. I tried being her friend but because she still has feelings for girlfriend, she is acting like a total bit-ch around me (only wants hang with my girlfriend). She does not want to hang around me (we met once) and I honestly have no idea what I did. I’d like to know so I could apologize.. I really want to be friends with her but because I’m with who I am with, she says ‘I don’t know’ to being friends with me. And also says she doesn’t have a problem with me.. so we did the only thing we could do: block, ignore and delete from facebook (but that isn’t going to end this dramashit due to my girlfriends mother being so in-like with the ex *she was planning the wedding of my girlfriend and ex before we got together. She also wants my girlfriend to date her ex again, which makes me feel hated*).
What should I do?! D:
1. I hadn’t even thought about how or when I wanted to celebrate this year yet. It’s on June 15th
2. There’s a wedding 3 states away on Sunday, June 12th that she and my dad RSVP-d yes to. They’re elderly so they asked my brother to drive them to and attend the wedding.
3. My sister told my mother that she shouldn’t go to the wedding and that the family should celebrate my birthday on the 12th because it’s the Sunday before my birthday and the next Sunday is Father’s Day. My sister is probably concerned because I have stage 4 lung cancer and no one knows how many more birthdays I will have.
4. My mother emailed me saying that she was changing her mind and not going to the wedding because she loves me and wants to celebrate my birthday because I’m more important.
5. When my brother found out she canceled on the wedding, he was upset. My mother didn’t even tell him. He overheard our conversation at dinner last night.
6. Today I received an email from my mother saying that my brother is very upset that they’re not going to my cousin’s wedding. I don’t even know if he’s ever met my cousin. None of us are close.
7. My mother feels bad for my brother and wants to know if we can change the date of my birthday celebration now to June 17th so they can attend this wedding as originally planned, but it’s up to me because I’m more important and she loves me very much.
8. My brother is mildly autistic.
9. I’m doing well with my cancer. I’ve been through chemo and and shrunk my tumor and lymph nodes considerably and it’s been a year and there’s been no sign of the tumor coming back thus far.
10. The day I graduated college in 1975, this same cousin’s mother (my first cousin) had her wedding planned for the same day and my parents made me leave early from my college graduation so they could attend this wedding. I was hurt, like really? You couldn’t say “our daughter who we love and are so proud of is graduating from college that day and we can’t make the wedding?”
I’m confused and angry. I don’t even want to celebrate with my parents because I feel like they say one thing and do another. What should I do?
