Resolved Question: Opinions of the first chapter of my story!?
This is the 3rd and 4th pages. The first two can be found here http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArsOqUa0JuI0AvEWGCLHJUQgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20081229143244AAr1WPs
I'm worried it's a little dull for a first chapter, any suggestions gratefully received.
Anyway, I was jealous of Alex, I won?t pretend I wasn?t. But I was also curious and hungry for details about her life. I alternated between being dismissive and uninterested in her life, and questioning her constantly about everything she saw and did. As I grew older, I grew out of my jealousy. Mainly because, with maturity, I could see there was little point yearning for a life that just wasn?t mine to have. I could also see that she didn?t exactly have an easy time, either. Well, I suppose my life was pretty easy. While she had to deal with homework, other pupils and dragging herself out to school on the coldest, wettest mornings, to learn about subjects she didn?t care for. Meanwhile, I could stay in our nice warm house, learning about what I was interested in. Luckily, my thirst for knowledge couldn?t have had a better place to be quenched than around my father. Every spare inch of the house was colonised by books, even piled up on the staircases, which drove Lilla insane. I could spend hours tucked away in the many hiding places I had all over the house, trying to avoid Lilla, who, once I reached a certain age, had decided that I should learn to look after the house.
It?s not that I minded helping out so much, but to be dragged away from a book I was engrossed in, to do something as dull as dusting. Well, it was the greatest torture my life held. But once I?d finished my current book and was mulling over which to choose next, then I was more than happy to help. We continued in this way for many years. Lilla started working part-time at the university library; once she was convinced I could be left to my own devices all day without burning the house down.
Things all changed this summer, the year I turned twelve. My father retired from work, having reached sixty five the previous November, and had decided that we should move away from the city. He wanted to return to move to the country, to write his great academic work with as few distractions as possible. The reason I was so angry at the move was that Alex and Lilla weren?t coming with us. Lilla had announced that she?d be getting married again, and she and Alex were moving to Manchester. I found myself constantly thinking of them on the long drive north from London, but tried not to.
My father was certain I?d have more freedom if we moved. In the town house, I couldn?t really go outside. We lived in an enormous city that was closed to me. The house did have a small garden, but it was over looked by the other houses in the terrace. I know what you?re thinking. What does it matter if it was over looked? I can?t be seen. Well, although I am invisible, I do still need to wear clothes. I still feel the cold. And, strange as it might seem, I do feel vulnerable without them. Besides, like any teenage girl, I do love clothes. Anyway, the point is, my father didn?t want the neighbours to see a set of clothes walking around the garden.
At the new house, there would be acres of ground for me to roam around in (he actually said that, roam), with no neighbours around to see. I suppose he meant to make me free by isolating me further, although I can?t quite understood how he came to the conclusion that was a good thing to do. I do believe he?s only doing what he thinks best for me.
We drive past the front door, following the curving driveway round to the back of the property, where a sprawl of outhouses squatted miserably in the rain. Despite myself, I lean forwards slightly, eager to take in what little I can see. My father had misplaced the back door key, so we raced through the wet to the front, coats pulled over our heads. The front door is an expanse of oak, so vast and heavy looking I doubted my father would be able to open it. However, it swung backwards on well-oiled hinges as soon as he turned the key. No fairy tale groan from this door. He flicked on the light switch and I take a long moment to look around.
?At least it?s got electricity?, I mumbled, determined not to show how excited I felt.
Our footsteps muffled by the think carpet, my father lead me through the house to the kitchen, so we could open the back door from the inside and unload our things. The wooden interior gives the hall and living room a cosy feel. I am pleased to see the kitchen is a twentieth century addition, although it does have an alarmingly ancient-looking aga at the far end of the room. I hope it was easier to use than it looked.
?Your mother insisted on modernising the place?, my father commented, running his hand down a table bigger than the entire kitchen in our old house. ?When we were planning on living here. She never took to the place, though. Said she felt that the house was trying to c

Resolved Question: Men - What with wives and kids- the wife being cute& nice. What would make you cheat?
My friends hubby took another woman up to a cottage that they had bought last Dec.07 This may have been something that he did alot as he always went away on the weekends. but she trusted him. Well his cell phone called her and she found the truth right in front of her. She painted the place , put curtains in it and put a new floor in the outhouse. I just think her hubby has a alot of nerve to do such a thing to her. I think he should have told her that he wanted to separate before even dating anyone, let alone take her to their place. Honestly I think he has done this many times before. I am just sick for her. My girlfriend is her best friend and We thought he was a little elusive with us, he would have a few beers and loosen up but that was the only way he would let you feel he liked you. What makes men cheat like that?? I wouldn't be able string anyone along. It is very mean and selfish. Just looking for advice that I could tell her.. All she wants is truth. I don't think anything else could hurt her now. Thanks

Resolved Question: How was a common duplex divided back in the 40s?
I am writing a story in which the character lives in a duplex built in the 40s, it's a real place, I just haven't had the fortune to go inside it, and it looks quite small. I don't know how they could fit a kitchen, water closet(as they were called), living room, and bedroom in there. Maybe there's a shared water closet. This is Oklahoma, so maybe there was an outhouse, but I don't see any remnants of one in the yard. What was a common way they divided them back then?

Voting Question: some more cos every1 is soo nice today?
sorry some are a little long, but well worth it!
Diagnosis
One day, Pete complained to his friend, "My elbow really hurts. I guess I should see a doctor."
His friend said, "Don't do that. There's a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker and cheaper than a doctor.
Simply put in a sample of your urine, and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about and it will only costs you $10.00."
Pete figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00.
The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause, out popped a small slip of paper which read:
1. You have tennis elbow.
2. Soak your arm in warm water, avoid heavy labor.
3. It will be better in two weeks.......
That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this computer could be fooled.
He decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction.
He went back to the drug store, located the computer, poured in the sample and deposited the $10.00. The machine again made the usual noises, flashed its alights, and printed out the following analysis:
1. Your tap water is too hard.
2. Get a water softener.
3. Your dog has ringworm.
4. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.
5. Your daughter is using cocaine.
6. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic.
7. Your wife is pregnant ....... twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
8. And if you don't stop masturbating, your elbow will never get better
Pee By Number
A mother taught her son to go to the bathroom by the numbers.
"1. Open your fly. 2. Take out your equipment. 3. Pull back the skin. 4. Do your business. 5. Let the skin forward. 6. Stow your equipment. 7. Close your fly."
She checked on him often to make sure he had learned his lesson, and each time heard him through the outhouse door saying, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 7."
She was pleased with his progress until that day when she passed the bathroom door and heard, "3-5, 3-5, 3-5."
Monkey stuff
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking it the monkey is running wild. The monkey jumps up on the pool table and grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.
The bartender is livid and says to the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?"
"No. What did that stupid shit do this time?" says the patron.
"Well, he just swallowed the cue ball off the pool table, whole" says the bartender.
"Yeah, well I hope it kills the fucker because he's been driving me nuts" says the patron.
The guy finishes his drink and leaves.
Two weeks later he comes back with the monkey. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running wild around the bar again. While the man is drinking his drink, the monkey finds some peanuts on the bar. He grabs one, sticks it up his ass, then pulls it out and eats it. The bartender is disgusted.
"Did you see what your monkey did now?" he asks.
"What now?" responds the patron. "Well, he stuck a peanut up his ass, then pulled it out and ate it" says the bartender.
"Well, what do you expect?" replied the patron. "Ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first!!!"
Firm Believer
One morning while making breakfast, a man walked up to his wife and pinched her on her butt and said, "You know if you firmed this up we could get rid of your girdle." While this was on the edge of intolerable, she thought, and replied with silence.
The next morning the man woke his wife with a pinch on the tit and said,"You know if you firmed these up we could ge rid of your bra."
This was beyond a silent response, so she rolled over and grabbed him by the dick. With a death grip in place she said, "You know if you firmed this up we could get rid of the postman, the gardener, the pool man and your brother.
The Spoon!
A man and his wife were in a fancy resturant. While ordering, they noticed that the waiter had a spoon in his shirt pocket, and after looking around, they observed the other waiters and busboys each had a similar spoon. So the husband says, "what's with the spoon?"
The waiter said,"well, we had this company come in and evaluate our time management and they found that people drop their spoon 74.8% more often than any other utensil. So if we carry one with us, we can reduce the trips back to the kitchen by 3 hours per shift.
The husband was impressed. Sure enough, he dropped his spoon during dinner and the waiter replaced it with his, stating, "I'll just get another when I go to the kitchen for something else". While ordering dessert, the husba
noted that the waiter had a very thin string hanging from the fly of his pants, as did the other waiters, so the husband asks, " hey, there's a string on your pants". The waiter tells him, " not all my customers are as observant as you... the same company found that we can reduce the amount of time spent in the bathroom by 2 hours each shift if we tie a string around the end of you-know-what, and when we have to go we just unzip and pull it out with the string completely eliminating the need to wash up and saving time." The husband was impressed, but asked, " it's a good idea but how do you get it back in your pants?".
The waiter leaned close and whispered, " well I don't know about the rest of them, but personally I use the spoon."
sorry about that lol

Resolved Question: Intro to my story: would you want to continue reading it?
Plot: Cat is moving again to Silverdale, Washington with her father. There she meets Des, a navy officer, hired to protect her, but when strange things start happening, she must find out the truth of her family, friends, and most importantly herself in order to survive.
This is not the prologue. It starts with a passage from a book that Cat's class is reading not knowing it is real and the baby is her great great great grandmother. I stopped at an awkward point, but it is the best i could copy without copy the whole chapter. My friend is helping me in this, but i would like some comments from strangers dont be afraid to harsh if it sucks say it!
Intro:
We both stood there staring each other down. ?This is no use!? cried Caspian, my father, from the fire pit. ?If you two just stare at each other, we will never find her!? He put the horse shoe into the bucket of water to cool. ?He?s right, Lucius,? I said siding with my father. ?Please, even if we find her, she will just escape again like she always does!? Lucius cried. Lucius was blinded from the truth of this significant girl or woman, whatever she is now. ?You just want to go get that wench at the tavern!? I sneered. His eyes glared at me with such a harsh stare. ?Don?t ever talk about my Carolina like that or I will beat you blue!? he said as he threateningly moved toward me. ?You will not! If you two just acted like adults for two seconds maybe she wouldn?t escape all the time!? my father roared moving between us.
?What is so important about her?? Lucius asked dropping into the nearest chair. Before my father could answer, a terrible scream was heard from outside. Horses were whining and the birds were screeching. We ran to the door to find her shot and bleeding on the ground. Before anyone came outside, she was trying to heal herself. At least, that is what it looked liked. We rushed to her, except Lucius. He was already in the outhouse puking his guts out. She was dead.
My father?s eyes gleamed with happiness. I checked the body for anything valuable, but to my surprise I found a sleeping baby next to her. ?It?s a girl,? I said to him. ?What?? his eyes were blacker than coal. Taking a deep breath, I spat out, ?and she is pure!? People do not usually associate pure as a filthy word, but in this instance it was!
A man rode up to us, ?What is??? he started, but stopped when he saw the body. ?Elizabeth?? he said with a tear in his eye. ?Give me my baby, please.? My father had no choice. ?Catrina,? the baby?s father said with his last breath.
* * * * * *
?How did the Caspian fellow kill the father, Ms. Magana?? a boy with red hair and freckles named Dillon asked. ?Well, he did nothing. There was no physical evidence of murder,? Ms. Magana matter-of-factly said. I was doodling on my paper barely even paying attention. ?What do you think, Catherine?? Emily asked. ?You are usually right about these things.? I just simply answered, ?Murder.? Ms. Magana must have heard me because she asked me, ?Why?? ?Because there are many ways to kill people without touching them,? I stated. ?How?? she pressured. ?Poison, heart attacks, mentally disabling them, or tricking them to do something stupid.?
The bell rang as I finished explaining. I got my stuff and was out the door before she could stop me. Emily was by me talking about her new boyfriend, Kyle, again and how much she is going to miss me. I was moving to Silverdale after school that day. ?Are you going to miss me?? Emily asked. I wanted to say no, but in a way I would miss her, well a little, so I said, ?Yeah, a little.? Big mistake, she was hugging and crying into my shoulder with all her frizzy, blonde hair in my mouth. Everyone looked at this spectacle as a scene from some comedy movie.
?Emily,? I said choking on some of her hair. She backed away wiping tears from her eyes, ?Sorry.? This had been going on all day, not with so many tears and contact, but I?m used to all this. As I walked to my dad?s car waiting outside the school, I let a tear slip. I was getting used to living here and although I never admit it I was going to miss it.
I watched the scenery pass through the window of my dad?s beaten Volkswagen. I started noticing that the scenery was changing from factories to small communities when I heard a voice I have known my whole seventeen years said, ?Cat, It will be okay. I thought that was our last move. I am sorry, honey. Catherine, look at me when I am talking to you!? ?Yes, Captain.? I said turning to look into my father?s stern, but loving gray eyes.
?You will like it in Silverdale. I promise. You will make new friends, and maybe even get a boyfriend,? he continues. ?Maybe,? I said in response looking back out the window watching kids ride their bikes. A tear edges out of the corner of my right eye. I wipe it away before Captain could see it. My father, Adam Dolan, is the captain of the U.S. Navy. Ever since my mother, Rachael, died, Captain has been dragging me acros

Resolved Question: Should we get compensated?
I rent from a very big rental corporation, Canada wide, mainly known as Boardwalk. Can I say that?? Anyways over 40 townhouse units were flooded with sewage, from a city sewer line break! Water was turned off and we were all told the problem would be fixed asap. NOT!!
Tuesday the incident happened, we were sent letters stating our basements were full of raw sewage, not to go near the water. Then all water sources were shut off to the units! After the third day emergency water tanks were brought in, again we were told it would be up to 48 hours till things were fine again. Then the Friday, porta potties were brought in with hand washing units?? and 36 bottles of water were given to all 40 town houses.
Then we received a letter stating that we the people had to physically move and empty our basements for cleaning crews to go in. No cleaning gear, no safety suits, we all had to go in and get sewer soaked items out of our basements.
Saturday and Sunday there were no crews, we ran out of water, we had to phone the city for more water. Monday came and finally our basements were cleaned but by a mickey mouse cleaning crew!! probably the cheapest crew in the field. The crews they did send in a week later wore head to toe safety gear; while the tenants had no protection.
Boardwalk says they are not responsible that we should have had tenant insurance. The majority of families did not have insurance. Most families had babies and children, for days of hauling water and using outhouses. The City says its not their fault! its Boardwalks fault, Boardwalk says they owe us nothing in return. Boardwalk takes no responsibility especially when we pay $1,295.00 a month for rent!! Not to mention the fact workers of Boardwalk were very ignorant and condescending when people would phone about concerns.
Does anyone have any ideas or possible solutions to this problem? Its not only me, its 39 other units including me who are looking for some kind of compensation and help with this huge poorly handled problem. Things have gotten fixed, and we all lost alot of things, but its just not good enough.
We did have media here 3 days in a row Global was nice enough to handle our story!! The public now knows, but whats going to happen now?? A petition is going around for lower rent? But? I don't know if that will help???

A young girl in her school uniform is walking down the street, on the way home from school, when a teenage boy says, "Hey girl, I`ll give you Rs 100 to climb up that tree."
The young girl agrees, climbs the tree, and collects her reward. When she gets home she tells her mother about the hundred rupes she recieved for climbing the tree.
Her mother replies by saying, "Never, ever, climb that tree again, that boy just wants to look at your panties."
The young girl promises she will never climb the tree again.
The next day on the way to school the young girl runs into the boy again, and this time he offers her five hunred.
She thinks a moment, and agrees. She climbs the tree and collects her money. When she gets home she brags to her mother about the five hundred she recieved just for climbing that tree.
Once again her mother tells her never to climb the tree again, for the boy only wants to see her panties.
The young girl responds, "Haha, I fooled him, I didn`t wear any!"

The naughty, Little Johnny comes home from catholic school with a black eye. His father sees it and says, "Johnny, how many times do I have to tell you not to fight with the other boys?"
"But Dad, it was not my fault. We were all in church saying our prayers. We all stood up and my teacher in front of me had her dress in the crack of her butt. I reached over and pulled it out. That`s when she hit me!"
"Johnny," the father said. "You don`t do those kind of things to women."
The very next day Johnny came home with the other eye black and blue. Johnny`s father said, "Johnny, I thought we had a talk!"
"But Dad," Johnny said, "It was not my fault. There we were in church saying our prayers. We all stood up and my teacher in front of us had her dress in the crack of her butt.

A teacher was helping her students with a math problem. She recited the following story: "There are three birds sitting on a wire. A hunter shoots one of the birds. How many birds are left on the wire?"
A boy pauses. "None," he replied thoughtfully.
"No, no, no, let`s try again," the teacher says patiently.
She holds up three fingers. "There are three birds sitting on a wire. A hunter shoots one," she puts down one finger, "how many birds are left on the wire?"
"None!" the boy says with authority.
The teacher sighs. "Tell me how you came up with that."
"It`s simple," says the boy, "after the gunman shot one bird, he scared the other two away."
"Well," she says, "it`s not technically correct, but I like the way you think."
"Okay," chimes the boy, "now let me ask you a question. There are three women sitting on a bench eating popsicles. One woman is licking the popsicle, one woman is biting the popsicle, and one is sucking the popsicle. Which one is married?" he asked.
The teacher looked at the boy`s angelic face and she writhed in agony, turning three shades of red. "C`mon," the boy said impatiently, "One is licking the popsicle, one is biting and one is sucking. Which one is married?"
"Well," she gulped and in a barely audible whisper replied, "the one who`s sucking?"
"No," he says with surprise, "the one with the wedding ring on. But I like the way you think!"
