Basically, I moved into a new apartment for school in May, and I had 2 different roommates living here than I do now.
I lived here for May and June while I took some spring classes, then went back home after the term was done to work.
I had a frying pan, 2 pots, a strainer, a toaster and a cookie sheet here.
When I was back home, the two roommates moved out and one of them walked out with 1 pot, the frying pan, the toaster and the cookie sheet, so I'm only left with the strainer and 1 pot.
I asked my new roommates about it and they didn't talk to either of the guys before they moved out and didn't see what I was missing.
so this leads me to assume that one of the old roommates walked out with what I'm missing now.
am I right in thinking this and is there anything I can do about it?
There are many ways to track down your old roomates, but if you have their cell/facebook, then all the hard work has been done for you. Just add them/give them a call.
If you FB them, try and figure out where they're going to be by checking up on their statuses/events, etc.... Then meet up with them with a shank (or any other small sharp knife) and figure out if they took your stuff. It's likely that they will have taken it, so don't be afraid to take the first blood.
If you text them, you just ask to meet up somewhere public, like a coffee shop, or a men's room in a McDonalds, and then threaten them there.
if you can't contact them, you'll have to go full-out stalker, and hack into government files to find their contact information, etc...... Then the shanking begins.
Hope this helps, I know it worked for me when I was in college, and one roomie stole some oven mitts from me.

So I lent a decent chunk of money to a friend of mine who had been out of a job for a while, thinking that they'd be able to get a job and pay me back eventually. I don't need the money to live or anything so I wasn't too worried. I also thought they'd be able to find work of some kind. This was months ago and now it looks like they won't be able to pay me back before I graduate college(paper engineering) and move far far away. So what do I do? I value them as a friend quite highly, really cool person, fun to be around, honest, plays magic with me all the time. So when the time comes for me to leave should I suggest they pay me in magic cards(they might have enough to cover the money), or should I just count it as a loss or a donation(which makes me wonder if I can claim it on my taxes). I guess I could just wait and see if they pay me back, we do live in the future where they could just wire me the money if they ever got it. Other things to consider concerning if they'll ever pay me back: won't work at mcdonalds for I think moral reasons(vegetarian), liberal arts major(anthropology or something like that). What do you guys think?
This happened to me a while back. This annoying butt named Jack borrowed $150 from me, and didn't pay me back immediatly. I decided to pull out my uncle's crossbow and went to his house and demanded the money in cash. This would probably work for you, but just remember to ask nicely and say please without a crossbow before you go longbow. Manners always come first!
PS: Got my money back!

Pro tip: If you and your girlfriend can't get in to see an R rated movie together, it's probably not a good situation. A 19 year old dating a 15 year old can be arrested in many states.
Pro tip: People who give advice by starting with the phrase "pro tip" fail at giving advice and/or are not pro, but rather orp, the opposite of pro.
Goodluck, I hate kids but I know it'll be different for mine (My sister had her first kid at 18, still lived at home for a few years and is horrible at raising kids, her idea of a babysitter was (and still is) coming to our house with the kids and leaving without them, with no way to reach her, saying she told the 8 year old she was leaving so it's ok.) But I am dead scared of that time in my life and I wish you courage.
Good luck again.
Please be a good parent.
This is good parenting. If you aren't 100% committed to raising a child, then you might as well put it out of its misery via abortion.
I recently found out that a good friend of mine died a little while ago. We were friends in high school and generally kept in touch after.
We hadn't talked in a while, so I went to her facebook page just to say hi. That's when I saw all the "miss you" and "still can't believe you're gone" from friends and family. Needless to say, I was pretty upset, not to mention feeling like a world-class bastard for not knowing about it and missing her funeral.
The thing is, we had a lot of mutual friends from our little high school social circle. Granted, I only kept in regular contact with two of them after graduation. But I'm now feeling really pissed that none of them told me. I haven't talked to any of them since I found out. I didn't really know her family, so it was only through friends that I would have heard about it.
I mean really, you'd think that someone would have at least called and said "How're you holding up since _____ died?" Or, when they first heard about it, asking "Did you hear about ____?" Or let me know about a funeral or something. But no, nothing.
Am I at all justified in feeling as mad as I do? Should I just say "screw you guys" and just cut ties with them for good? Because I'm definitely considering it.
Honestly, they were probably thinking that you didn't care about this dead person because YOU DIDN'T CALL THEM (just a keep in touch kind of thing). So they think you are a selfish octopus.
Thus, ignore these people. They don't care about you clearly (or not enough to remember you) so let them be.
So, a situation.
There are two people. Person A, who we'll call Adam, and Person B, who we'll call Bob.
Adam and Bob meet through a mutual friend. They flirt online for about a week, and Bob decides to end the "relationship". During this week, Adam becomes extremely infatuated with Bob. Adam repeatedly annoys Bob with texts and calls of infatuation, and Bob keeps on telling Adam to go away and that he does not want to be with him. Note: Bob never sent threatening messages of any kind to Adam. All he did was insist that Adam stop contacting him.
Months later, this exchange is still going on, and Bob finally decides to ignore Adam completely and blocks Adam's phone number. Adam becomes extremely sad and frustrated.
Adam then commits suicide, leaving behind a note that says Bob caused him to kill himself because Bob would not be with him.
Can Bob face negative legal consequences from this? (Jail, fines, etc.)
I wouldn't think so since Bob never implied harm to Adam, and Adam killed himself on his own accord.
Even if Bob is innocent, no one will believe him because a dead guy says it was his fault. Bob will feel guilty forever and everybody loses.
But really, you should be on your phone 24/7 trying to get this straightened out. If all else fails, go to the post office and work it out with your two best friends.
Guys, firstly I'd like to say that if any of you remember one of the posts I made about my friend dating a 15 year old, the reality is, I was the friend dating her. There was no friend, it was me. The friend was a lie.
(had to put a reference in there...I couldn't help myself)
I'm sorry guys, but as a 19 year old going out with a 15 year old, I'm sure you can all understand how awkward it would be asking EVERYONE on a website if your relationship might be considered creepy and expecting everyone to agree with the fact that I should be dating someone 16 or older and not the 15 year old I'm currently dating.
ANYWAY regardless of her age, I'm with this girl and she's amazing. Well, for the most part. Here is the issue. Every week, for some reason, she gets depressed and decides that I should probably be dating someone my own age, concludes that she's a horrible person and that she makes my life crap.
She comes to this conclusion because she:
1. tells me all her problems (which I like) and then feels bad about dumping them on me.
2. Doesn't think she's beautiful or nice in anyway (totally wrong on both points there)
3. We are of different ages and she feels bad when i must explain how old we are.
4. She also think she's holding me back from experiencing certain things like sex, because she's young and there is a legal law about having sex with minors in Australia. (A pretty huge technical hitch in my situation)
Despite all this, she says I help keep her depression away, and thats one of the reasons she loves me so much, (aside from the fact that she can be herself and i make her feel accepted) and that she'll never leave me. She also has insecurities that I will find a girl my own age who is very nice and I'll leave her for a new girl, purely because she's my own age.
Just for the record, I have no intention of breaking up with this girl. She's really good for me an she's the first girlfriend I've had that i really feel loves me back and hasn't broken up with me.
If anyone knows anyway that I can stop the weekly depression rant, or help reduce any of her insecurities, it would be much appreciated.
So, I did all the work for you; I went to webmd.com to figure out your girl's problems (and by golly, she could have quite a few).
Ok, so I put in that she was a 15 yr old female, and then entered the following symptoms:
1. Depressed mood (not caused by child birth) (you said she gets depressed)
2. Difficulty Solving Problems (the fact that you guys couldn't work it out and came to us makes this a symptom)
3. Emotional detachment (she can't relate to you because of the age gap)
4. Impaired Social Skills (reasoning a combo from 2 and 3)
5. Lack of pleasure (you guys can't have sex)
6. Mood swings (either she's PMSing or happy then sad)
7. Repetitive behavior (it happens every week)
8. Sadness (duh)
9. Unusual Behavior (pretty much the whole situation)
So webMd says your girlfriend has (in descending order in terms of likelihood):
I suggest you watch movies that make kids look like demons to brainwash her (and don't watch the endings so that she thinks they're always evil1)
Problem Child
Problem Child 2
Problem Child 3
The Chuckie series
Nothing with cute kids though, just crazy ugly ones. Then she'll want to have an abo or put the kid up for adoption, and everybody wins!!!! (except for the kid...)
1. Watch Jerry Springer everyday: You will see people on this show that will make you feel good to be yourself (unless you watch your own episode :(.....)
2. Watch funny videos on Youtube: such as this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-N4vX2xqzM)
3. Listen to happy music (ex: Another Night by the Real McCoy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pav2f4b-1ZE
Then you'll be so happy your mouth will hurt from smiling so much.
In about two weeks I'm moving in to a house away from my mother.
I was just wondering if people had some tips of what were some good healthy things to cook so that I could start losing some weight.
I will be going to the gym probably 4 times a week so that I could get the exercise portion out of the way (By the small amount of knowledge I have there) All I know how to use is the general machines that are targeted at a certain muscle which get the job done. But I would like tips also for how to increase the weight and when to increase the weight, as well as maybe some things I could do in my room for a warm up before I go.
So tips for Eating and tips for the gym.
I'm 250 lbs. and about 5 11 so im a bit chubby.
I did this last year (not the working out, the moving away!) and I didn't work out cause I'm a boss like Rick Ross.
My secret: focus on school and partying. I ate out about 33% of my meals, then I would eat instant/frozen foods for everything else. I actually lost weight and looked better!!! Maybe it was because my mommy wasn't there to nag me about clean undies....
But you don't need to work out, I lost 7 pounds (down to 150) and I felt great!!!
EDIT: This might not work now that I know you're chubby, so maybe eat some applies and banaenaes instead

Hey, I'm a valid advice giver, it worked with my ex, so it should work with you, just don't get too attached to your girl if you know what I mean.
This is good parenting. If you aren't 100% committed to raising a child, then you might as well put it out of its misery via abortion.

So webMd says your girlfriend has (in descending order in terms of likelihood):
1. Depression (child and adolescent)
2. Depression (post partum)
3. Schizophrenia
4. Bipolar disorder
5. Epilepsy (temporal lobe)
6. autism
7. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
8. Child Abuse
9. Porphyria
10. Post-traumatic stress disorder
11. Puberty
12. Reye's syndrome
13. Acute Stress Reaction
14. Sleep deprivation
15. Asperger syndrome
16. Aspirin poisoning
17. ADHD
18. Grief reaction
19. Hyperthyroidism
20. Intoxication
So there's a chance it could be anyone of these things causing the problem, but most likely, it's depression, so WebMD says:
