  • 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.

    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?

    ok my friends has been obsessing over guys lately.. ever since she's been playing volleyball with them she's been falling down and injuring herself on purpose just to get attention and to have guys help her up so that they can hold her hand and also she cries whenever she doesn't get a lot of attention so that the guys will notice her and treat her like a princess or something also she once told this guy that i liked him because she likes him too and she told him i liked him just so that he could talk to her more i mean what kind of friend tells someone else my secrets???? she promised not to tell ANYONE. but she told him just to get his attention. all the guys who play volleyball always treat her like a princess now and she just ignores me. like after i was playing vball with her and the guys the bell rang and then i was gonna give her something but she just ignored me every single time i called her. i was like 10 feet away from her! and then all her guy friends just dragged her away and they were laughing at me and stuff. :( wat should i dooo?? she's being such a jerkk.

  • 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.

  • what is the best way to tell my dad that someone "took" my iPod?

    about a month ago i lost my ipod at school. i have been looking everywhere for it. i've been asking my teachers if they've seen it. i've asked the school office if anyone had turned it in and they said no. i've tried retracing my steps, but that hasn't helped. the only thing i can think of is that someone took my ipod. usually i would put my ipod i my purse, but for some reason i just decided to put it in my backpack. i know it is my responsibility to keep up with it, but i don't know what happened, honestly. and now i have come up with the conclusion that i have to tell my dad that i "lost it". i've already told my mom because i have a strong bond with her and i can tell her anything, but with my dad is a different story. i mean me and my dad are SUUUPER close. probably closer than any teenage girl and father. but just the way he is when he's mad makes me scared and want to...cry. what would be the best way to tell him?
