  • dad died grandmother says life insurance was drained by funeral costs?

    Family - 4 hours ago

    Additional Details

    my father died. I am his only kid Im 27. my grandmother took a life insurance policy out on my father. I was never told the details. The arrangements was no funeral parlor 2 days after he died we went to the family church and had mass then went straight to the cemetery. I am unsure of how to find out if I was lied to. or if my grandmother was the one to end up with what ever the life insurance paid off. I have heard that she may have been the primary beneficiary as long as she survived his dying. and I would then be the secondary, only being beneficiary if my grandmother was deceased when he died. can someone put this in perspective for me please?

    i like this guy. ever since i told my friend how much i like him, she flirts with him right in front of my face and then brags about how much they talk and how good friends they are. the first time i told her that she kept flirting with him in front of me, she told me she would stop. it got to the fourth time i was telling her and she said she would stop talking to him altogether because she wanted to prove to me that she was a better friend. i told her it was her last chance. its now at the sixth time and ive had enough. she started telling me how her and my crush started talking on the phone heaps and texting and stuff and that he asked her out and she was just rubbing it in my face. i got really angry. do you think i was right to get angry at her? i recently talked to the guy i like and he told me everything that she said was pretty much bullshit besides he called her for half an hour once to find out my best friends phone number because they are like brother and sister blah blah. also i recently talked to my friend (the bitch)'s ex best friend and she told me that my friend had done the exact same thing to her boyfriend. how do we show her what she is doing? we have both tried telling her multiple amounts of times but she just says that we dont make sense. so any ideas on how we can make her stop and show her how much damage she is doing? or should we just let it go and let karma get her? please help.
  • Is he flirting with me or just being friendly?

    I am friends with this guy that I've hung out with 4 or 5 times. I have a crush on him and it seems like he is always flirting with me. The first time I met him it was cold and he put his arms around me and warmed me up. It seems like every time I see him he hugs me, lays on me ( jokingly), calls me his lover, etc. He gave me his number (but didnt ask for mine) and I texted him so he would have my number. We had a short conversation, only 8 or 9 texts long. I didnt hear from him for about 3 days, and then he texted me last night saying "hey cutie". We had a good 30 minute conversation, and then he just stopped replying. So, does it seem like he is flirting or looking for something more?
  • What does a girl do when she knows that you like her? Plzz help?

    I know this girl and I like her, but I've never talked to her before. My friends always say her name or ask me if I like her in front of her and all I can do is tell them to be quiet. She used to look at me a lot before, but now all she does is ignore. I even tried to message her on facebook... but still no response. She also seems to be very shy and not have a lot of guy friends. Should I just leave her alone and move on or go up and talk to her? I don't want to seem to desperate, also what kind of signs will she show now that she knows that I like her...? Thank you guys, in advance.

    Its been 2 1/2 years since i last ttalked to my mother. she met my daughter once and has never seen my son. i want very much for her to be in my life but i am finding it hard to forgive her for kicking me out of the house at 18 and calling my husband the devil. she's tried to buy me back but she wants nothing to do with me as long as i'm with my husband. she's never really been there for me as long as i can remember but she is still my mom and the only parent i have left. i truly love her but i don't know how to forgive her for the horros and disappointments she's caused me to have through my life.

Manual Mania

What should you do with all those new manuals that come you’re your new electronics?

By Ann Douglas

Manual Mania

‘Tis the season to be flooded with instruction manuals and sales receipts. The question is what to do with them?

Here are some tips on storing manuals and receipts so that you can find them when you need them.

Sales receipts

  • File sales receipts according to the method of payment. If you paid for a particular item using a major credit card, staple the receipt to your credit card statement and then file the statement with the rest of your financial records.
  • If the purchase was a gift, file the sales receipt in a file folder marked “gifts” or staple the receipt to the inside cover of the instruction manual that accompanied the item.

Instruction manuals

  • Store all your instruction manuals in a particular spot in your house: in your filing cabinet; on a bookshelf; in a series of plastic pockets in a large, three-ring binder; or in a desk drawer.
  • Resist the temptation to store the manual in the box the product came in. Chances are you’ll end up misplacing the instruction manual when you decide to get rid of the box—something that could have you hitting the panic button the next time you need to reprogramme your VCR!
