I was thinking more like in terms of price per square footage. Most of these neighborhoods are justifiably expensive because they have mansions. I know that homes in Palo Alto, for example, go for millions even though they are shacks.

I believe the creators of Candy Crush Saga delight in bestowing frustration amongst the masses. There was one level that was literally unbeatable, but that was due to a programming error in the IOS version (which they fixed eventually, THANK GOD).

The typical case of morning sickness peaks around 10 weeks and is well into tapering by 14 weeks but you might have the kind that tapers at 16 or 18 weeks. I hope you feel better soon! There is a correlation between bad morning sickness and IQ so maybe you have an ultra smart baby in there. : )

Are you shy? Do you send off a standoffish vibe? I know I do - I have had several friends tell me that they thought I was stuckup b*tch and did not seem approachable because I was reserved and, sadly, my natural expression on my face when I am not smiling looks kind of bitchy (if that makes sense). But once they get to know me, they love me. Maybe you need to make more of an effort to engage in conversation at these events, even if it is uncomfortable - "fake it till you make it" - and extend invitations to people you think you might click with, rather than wait for them to reach out to you. I guarantee there are others in your same position, who want to make friends but have a hard time reaching out, who love the invite.

Thanks I'm very self aware and not good at faking small talk - feels so feigned, and insincere. I do try, the friends I have are solid, but they are few and far between, and I'm just so bored and self analytical now about it, and how I must suck..bc otherwise I wouldn't be alone.

OR: Don't be so hard on yourself. You say you have solid friends, so it is not like you are inherently unlikeable or that you "suck". And it is really hard to make friends the older you get. Are you feeling down because you truly are missing that social connection (I am guessing you don't see your good friends much?) or because you think you "should" have more friends? (Even as adults I think it can be hard to get out the wanting to part of the "popular crowd" mentality!) As for the small talk - I totally agree it can be awkward and feel forced. But you have to start somewhere. What about inviting a few people who you think you will click with out for drinks, or over for a dinner party? Sometimes it is easier in smaller settings. Or join a committee at school - you'll be spending time with people on a regular basis, and will have something in common to talk about when you are working together, that may then expand into more (like becoming friends with work colleagues outside of work - that is usually not instant but grows over time because you work together)

Why do people put so much importance on making friends? I guess im like you but i really dont let it bother me. Im friendly with some moms in my dc's class/activites but i dont find myself wanting/needing to hang out with them more than i have to...and those are the moms i like. i find more satisfaction from hanging out with dh (even though he works long hours) and family (eventhough they live 3 hours away). I know i dont know your whole situation but it sounds really desperate. You'll click with someone eventually, stop worrying about it.

My DH is better than me in many respects, so it'd be nice if this was true. But we are fundamentally the same, as are my parents, as are his parents, as are my siblings & their spouses and his siblings & their spouses. I only know one married couple where the personalities & interests are complete opposites, though they do share common goals.

For now - when you call again, let them know that you need to pay your project vendors. I know it sucks and you feel like you are begging for money, but to bug the again is probably the only way you will get paid. For some companies it is normal to pay in 90 days! For future - put "Due Upon Receipt" on your invoice, which is completely fair since they have already received the deliverable from you. Also, spell it out on your quote - even if it is a half page quote, it is a good idea to always have a client sign one ahead of start date.

This is good advice. I will definitely add that to future invoices. I have worked for them multiple times and it has never been a problem getting paid, but I guess I shouldn't assume it will always be the case. It is a pretty small agency, so it is not like a big company that has specific policies like 90 days (my old job we had clients like this).

So, then if both presidents sent in more troops, it seems that maybe that was the right call. Why do you think that your uninformed view (by your own admission) should alter our country? If you do not know how to successfully pull troops out and end a war as least dramatic as possible, then shut up.

DF did that - she was a day student at Exeter. She never had a problem - she was a great student and played field hockey & lacrosse - she had a strong network of friends there. As long as there is a reasonable population of day student, there shouldn't be an issues. It might be a problem if there are only one or two day students per grade.

Meh. People grow apart and the fantasy of being a bridesmaid when you are 16 far outweighs the reality. She will probably be relieved to just be guest and not have to she ll out for a dress.

Maybe you could get her to add some accents to the tattoo that are the same color as the dresses.

It's not that she has a neck tattoo - it's more what it is - a make sex organ - I don't want to be looking at my wedding album in 10 years and see that!

We're you in hers? How old we're you when promise made? How old now? Would she be invited as a regular guest?
