Thanks for the preview…some of us don’t get to see the show regularly.

I think that Patty aka Mary Jane is going to turn on Victor and tell Jack and Paul who she really is. Thanks a bunch.
Emaryl Diamond | May 01, 2009

Where should I start, lol. The whole Billy/Chloe/Mac thing i already getting on my nerves. She just needs to divorce Billy cause he is never gonna be faithful to her.

I hope Ashley will carry the baby to full term, but it is obvious that Victor is still in love with and grieving for Sabrina. I honestly think that Sabrina will pop up somewhere cause she’s not dead. I think Adam is the one gaslighting Ashley with Estella’s help since she doesn’t like Ashley.

Actors: Scott Adam,Frost Alex,Simmons J.K.,Brahm Vittorio,Buell Bill,Bizik Robert,Comedy,Drama,

I get all the blame in my household, parents INSIST I'm bipolar, I'm actually a good kid. Please help?
Every time a petty argument rises in my house, it becomes a tsunami of just pure drama. Whether I’m remotely involved or not, I get all of the blame almost every single time.

My parents, especially my mom, complain to my friends’ parents, people in our church etc. about how "out of control" I am and how I’m "ruining their lives". I find books lying around like "Parenting Your Out Of Control Teen." I am not out of control. I am a good kid. I have a strong faith in God (that wasn’t always the case at all), but it’s something that’s kept me strong. I’m obedient, I’m kind, I’m responsible, but none of this seems to matter. I’m not sure they even see it. They judge me completely on how emotional I’ve been in the past, but it’s kind of a given. They moved me away from my friends to halfway around the world in a culture where I was very isolated for two years and just moved me back last year. It disrupted my life and made things hard, but somewhere in the process, I became the person to blame.

Even close family tell me what my parents say about me, but people such as two of my Aunts have told me they know who I really am and they love and support me and are here for me. When I’m away from the environment at home, it’s transforming. I’m radiant and in control of my life. Sadly, with everything going on, I’ve had to withdraw from highschool. I’m wizzing through getting my GED and am getting a job very soon, but I don’t even have my permit since my parents always come up with a new excuse for me not to get it. (I didn’t like the tone of voice you were using, your room isn’t clean enough, etc.)

My parents go as far as to tell me I am assaulting/ abusing them. I think those are very strong words. Lately, when they’ve hurt me, I’ve cried, I’ve tried to have a say, but the louder I cry, the less they hear me, the more they stick their noses up in the air, the more they shut down, the more they smirk, yes, SMIRK, at me. It is such a trap and such a vicious cycle. I am in so much pain, and I just want to be free.

And they think I’m bipolar, yes. I don’t agree. The "diagnosis" has ruined my life. Endless therapy, social stigmas and damaging medication have thrown me off my game. And every therapist and psychiatrist I’ve seen have honestly seen my parents as a HUGE problem. The ones who have said it to them have been fired, the ones that haven’t are currently walking on eggshells. My psychiatrist took me off of my medications. She’s getting me into family therapy, but my parents mistake it as therapy just for me. It is a mess.

I know it will be a lot better when I’m out of the house, but they’ve made breaking away hard. If all goes well, March 2011 is the when I get out of here at 17 and a half to transfer into a 4 year college for my junior year. I am happy when I am away. I am fine. I am free. I am me.

But what are some coping and communication mechanisms I can use when I am still here?

First of all, I am sooo sorry you have been going through this. I really am. Second of all, your parents are emotionally abusing you. So as far as answering ur question goes, i would just nod my head and say yes when they ask you do to something (nothing dangerous of course) and keep to yourself since you don’t have much longer. If you have a counsler still, you need to make your side of the story clear and ask for help from them. Go out with your friends when you can and just try to ignore everything else or pick something that you enjoy (art etc.) and make that your focus. It will relieve stress and take your mind off of your parents. Good luck :)

TJ | Dec 08, 2009

sounds like your parents are just covering up their mistakes.
and trust me i get real emotional, all the time
my mom,dad, and grandma call me everything anyword
you can think of. sometimes you just gotta think ahead..
maybe moving with one of your aunts would be best.
because all of the negativity your receiving from your parents
could seriously end up in some trouble, mentally,emotionally,
and physically.
you sound like a good kid, move with your aunt you need support
not put downs.
Mickeyy(: | Dec 08, 2009

You need to find ways to play their game to your advantage. Try telling them "You’re right, my room is a mess. I am going to go clean it up." You could also tell them that you feel guilty for ruining their lives and you want to know what you can do to make it up to them. Trust me, this will make their heads explode. Also, make it clear that you don’t want to hurt them anymore and that you realize how much your behavior has negatively affected their lives. Once they see that you are mature enough to move away from them (and live without them,) they will get scared and realize that with you gone, they will have no else to blame except themselves. I can only imagine how tough it must be for you and hope you realize that you are smart enough and wise enough and determined enough to see your way out of this situation. You can do it!

Does anyone know this classical song played in 'When Boris met Dave'?
In ‘When Boris met Dave’ during Boris’ speech about the miners strike does anyone know the piece that was played in the backround? Also if you know that you’ll probably know another song that is a classical piece and sounds similar to the Brideshead revisited theme. They always play it on TV when showing a stately home or anything related to the ruling classes.

in what movie do two people sing "angel of the morning" in a car together?
i think they are disagreeing on what radio station to put on, but then when they switch to that song, they just kinda leave it for a minute. then the scene cuts to both of them belting it out and it’s really funny. i just can’t remember what movie this is!

fire and water usually dont mix, he’s got a cancer rising meaning he’s sensitive and a scorpio moon which means jealousy/possesive tendency mixed with your Sag rising where you are outgoing and Moon in Leo you attract attention might not be such agood combination. but i think that if you are getting along and can tolerate each other…why not?
geminigirl | Nov 19, 2009

i agree with the above answerer. its a combination of water and fire. the relationship will be sometimes disturbed and sometimes happy. both of you need to commit to each other to make things work. you have venus in aries which means you will like the initial stage, but after a while you might get bored of his committed nature. venus in pisces people aren’t much of a challenge. they are usually ready to give hundred percent in the relationship. as a venus in aries you enjoy the challenge which he won’t be able to offer you. in additiona you enjoy controlling the relationship. your man likes space and often withdrawn. so here you guys will need some workings. Hope this helps.

Good luck
angelfly | Nov 19, 2009

It’s about a fair trade. I’d say it’s kind of a unique relationship! You have a lot of odd planetary alignments together, such as your Moon square his Uranus etc.
Bi Gemini Guy | Nov 20, 2009

i dont think that you will make a ideal pair. it will be a different pole views that never makes a joint

Easiest way to get from LAX to Grauman's Chinese Theatre?
My sister and I are coming over to the USA from Australia for a holiday.

We will be in LA on Monday 28 December for the day. We are flying into LAX, arriving around 7am on SouthWest Airlines. We fly out at about 8pm that same night to go to Vegas.

Since we only have the day there, we want to do a Hollywood / LA tour and try to see as much as possible. We have found one we are keen to do that departs from Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (6925 Hollywood Blvd) at 9am.

I have looked at www.metro.net but the Trip planner keeps telling me that there are no options available for the trip we want to do.

Investigating a bit further, it looks like we can take a Shuttle from LAX to Aviation/LAX station, take the Green Line train to Imperial/Wilmington station, then change to the Blue Line train and travel to 7th St/Metro and then change to the Red Line train and travel to Hollywood/Highland.

Not knowing what the train system is like, is it easy to change Lines from Green to Blue and then Blue to Red?

Are the stops in the same station (i.e. just have to change platforms) or do we actually have to leave the station and go to another station?

Also, what is the best way to buy a ticket? Can we just buy tickets with cash on the Shuttle bus for the whole trip (including return to LAX at the end of the day) or do we have to buy separate tickets when we get to Aviation/LAX station for the train trip?

Finally, is there an easier way to get to Grauman’s (bearing in mind we HAVE to arrive before 9am or we will miss the tour)?
Sorry, perhaps I should have explained better. We are coming from Australia but we will already be in the US before our day trip to LA.

We will be in Vegas and thought, since the airfare was so cheap, that we could do a day trip to LA and check it out as well.

We are looking at taking an early flight from Vegas to LA. We won’t have bags so we should be able to clear the airport quite quickly after our flight lands.

Re the "Flyaway" how long does it take to get to Union Station? I was worried that if we took a cab or a bus we would get stuck in traffic and risk not getting to the Theatre on time to meet the tour.

I will check out the other tour company that picks up from LAX. Thanks for that suggestion. I would certainly be alot easier.

Simple. Take the "Flyaway" Bus from LAX to Union Station . Fare is about $7.00 and they run every 1/2 hour. Catch it under the blue signs at the baggage claim area.

From Union Station take the "Red Line" subway to Hollywood/Highland . Fare is $1.25. You’re there

Peedlepup | Nov 26, 2009

Peedlepup’s answer is great, but you probably will want to drop your luggage off somewhere. If you’re only in LA for the day, remember to ask the airline to put the luggage on your next flight. You can buy a round-trip ticket back to LAX from Union Station – the fare is higher, of course, but just keep your original ticket and you can get back on without a problem.

Paris Hilton is right, although condescending. You should see if you can arrange for a cab to take you to Grauman’s.
Everything Happens to Be Purple | Nov 26, 2009

if you are coming from Australia you cant fly on southwest cause they dont fly there!
i have a better idea instead of you traveling all that
way did you know there are some tour companies
that will pick you AT lax?
here ones

http://www.lacitytours.com/Layovers.asp

travelmaster | Nov 26, 2009

This is unrealistic….You have to go through customs and even if you take a direct taxi during rush hour and you still won’t get there by 9:00am most likely…..You need a much later tour or somehow meet up with the tour in progress……
Paris Hilton | Nov 27, 2009

From LAX, take the UNION STATION Flyaway shuttle. It will drop you off at Union Station in downtown. From there, you can take the red line subway to Hollywood/Highland (look at the metro rail map).

The Flyaway will be faster than the green/blue/red line trip that you mentioned. However, if you choose to do that, you can buy a $5 day pass that is good for unlimited train rides, which will be cheaper than the Flyaway ($7 each way).
gomanyes | Nov 28, 2009

Peedlepup’s answer is great. End of story. Just remember your luggage, youll have to do something with it! :D
