Do men carry loose change in their wallets? Help with gift? I'm trying to get my bf a nice wallet as a gift. I think that he likes to keep his coins in his wallet instead of having them loose in his pocket because they will scratch his phone. I shopped around. None of the brand wallets come with a change pouch. It would be most ideal if the wallet also came with a picture slot but that's even more far fetched. Gents, where can I get wallets like that? Ladies, any idea? Thanks a ton!

Perfect Gift for the Perfect Friends? So I started my Christmas shopping yesterday, and found it harder than ever to get the perfect gifts for my friends. I was able to get gifts for some of the people that I wanted to, such as a few people who go to my school and some relatives. However, I need some help with a few more close friends. So, this is where you come in. I would just love it if you could give me some gift suggestions for the following people. Most descriptive and thoughtful answer will get the 10 pts. Friend 1: Price Range: $50.00- $120.00 Gifts I have given her in the past: 100.00 gift certificate, iPod nano, Coach makeup pouch filled with tons of high quality makeup from Sephora, and other things along those lines. Age: 16 years old Other details: I have known her since we were in preschool. She wants to be in fashion. I do not think she does much of her own sewing. She just really enjoys pop culture, shopping and magazines. I cannot subscribe her to any magazines because her father works in a magazine company and she gets all the ones she wants already, for free. She is a cheerleader. She is one of those people who has just about everything. Her skin is allergic to most things with fragrances, such as perfumes and lotions, and such. Her likes: She loves cute, soft things and loves the color pink. She ADORES designer things. Friend 2: Price Range: $25.00 - $75.00 (price should not matter. I just want to give her something really meaningful) Other Details: I have known her since I was in kindergarten She is one of my most trustworthy friends, and this year I want to get her a gift that she will be happy to have, but also has sentiment in it. I also do not think she owns anything desginer, or really even brand name. She is a dancer. Right now she is really into ballroom dancing, but she never invites any of her friends to go watch her perform, so I am not sure if getting her a gift involving that is the best idea. she is one of the, if not, the smartest person in my grade. And I am not just saying that. She is extremely orginized and loves to learn. Age: 16 Her Likes: Not exactly a fashionista, but she does love accessorizing. She loves layering her clothes with knitted things, and loves leg warmers. For the most part, her style is very "british", if you will. She likes things that are unique, soft (in looks and feel), and practical. Friend 3: Price Range: $75.00 - $200.00 Age: 18 Other Details: This friend's birthday is VERY close to Christmas, as in within a few days of it, so I am combining her birthday and Christmas gifts. She is very much a beach loving and beach dwelling person. At the same time, she is a very earthy and down to earth person. She does not wear makeup often, other than when she is going to a dance. She is very intelligent and loves to read. Her likes: She is an Olympic-swimmer-to-be, no joke. She has been training for it since she was about 5 years old. She has a secret love for all things beautiful and elegant. Such as how things were in Pride and Predjudice. She loves sitting down and having events like teas, and anything that makes her feel like a lady. (she is not a big fan of the color pink, however) Also, just so you know, all of these friends have digital cameras, iPods and cellphones. :) And other than Friend 1, I do not want to give gift cards. I really hope you can help me out, everyone who posts ideas is getting a thumbs up! Thank you so much! <3 Thank you so much for all of your suggestsions! I am so glad that you have taken the time to read all of this and help me out! :) I thought I should say that all three of these friends already have Uggs and that they are not into video games. :)

Perfect Gift For My Best Friend? Alright, I am going to split this up into 3 questions. That way people do not have to read as much. I would just love it if you could give me some gift suggestions for the following people. Most descriptive and thoughtful answer will get the 10 pts.

This person had this pencil case and I was wondering where I could buy one? So I asked her where she got it and she said, "that she got it as a gift and she didn't know where the person got it." But I think that it would be cool to have it since she was a complete stranger and I will probably never see her again! Ok the pencil case was made out of kool aid pouches and it was awesome!!! So do you know a site where I could buy one?

what is the funniest gift your child has given you? My kids have come up with some good ones. Every year our town has an Elf Shop where little kids go shop for their family behind a curtain with one of Santa's helpers. All the items are donated by people in the area and cost between a nickle and fifty cents. It is a really cute idea, and my kids all love it. Last year my son knew I wanted new throw pillows for the couch so he found me a set of two. They are orange, brown and yellow probably from 1960. But it was soo funny and they are proudly displayed in my dark red and green living room on the couch. My daughter bought my husband a little pouch to put his things in for the inside of his lunchbox. So he wouldn't be searching for things at the bottom of it. Like his keys and chap stick. It was a pink make up case! They are my favorite gifts every year, you really never know what you are gonna get!

What's the right way to gift a Tiffany necklace? I ordered a necklace from Tiffany for the girlfriend. Usually other companies send the necklace all ready to go in a box. This is my first experience with Tiffany. I got: -Box + ribbon -Layered padding inside the box -Drawstring pouch -Necklace inside a small cotton sack inside the pouch -Card about proper silver care -Envelope with return/exchange/etc information Obviously I keep the envelope and I guess the card, too. And I doubt I keep the necklace inside the tiny cotton sack. Am I supposed to put the necklace inside the pouch and put the pouch in the box? It seems like it would get lost in there (took me long enough to find it!). Do I ditch the pouch and just put the necklace on top of the foam inside the box? Thanks for helping a Tiffany noob -_-

What did you get for Valentine's Day? Due to the recession, my husband and I weren't doing Valentine's gifts this year. But at the last minute, I decided it might be fun to have a little something for us to open on the big night. But it had to be within our budget (translation: CHEAP AS HELL). Just for fun, I went on the Tiffany & Co. jewelry wholesale website. http://www.TiffanyStyle.us. A girl can dream, can't she? I noticed that I could saved up 40% off for Valentine's Day Tiffany shopping. Sounds good! But did EVERYTHING from Tiffany cost a small fortune? I went to the page of Valentine's Gift Idea and focused in on the inexpensive thing they offered: Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Toggle Bracelet with the Tiffany logo. Sure, they were only $89 ... yes, INSANE to pay for it... that came with a FREE set of Tiffany&Co blue pouch, gift box, gift bag and silver clean care card. I thought it might be fun! So last night, when we opened our Valentine's Day gift from Tiffany, we felt positively rich cracking open that robin's egg blue box. I had just gotten a Valentine's Day gift from Tiffany, hadn't I? Nothing gets to the heart of the matter like a gift from Tiffany. What did YOU get for Valentine's Day?

Weren't those beautiful silver........? cases for holding cigs, and leather pouches beautiful gifts for the smokers in our lives.

Received favors at an Indian baby shower, any meaning? I just attended a baby shower for an Indian couple. At the end the mother-to-be gave me a bag of favors. I was wondering if there was any meaning or symbolism behind the gifts, they were: -a banana -a large leaf of some sort -yellow snack mix -a silver coin in a pouch (not sure if it's a rupee or not) -two pieces of sweet stuff/dessert -some sort of a crushed up nut, very hard and not eatable, I tried :) Thank you to anyone that answers! One additional note, it was a Hindu Indian couple.

I have lost my mp3 player and my school ID at school. Is there any way I can find it? At school today, I always put my stuff away in my locker before I go to orchestra, because it's less stuff I have to lug around. Well, my mp3 player and ID were in my pencil pouch, and my pencil pouch suddenly went missing. I was in panic mode, and I looked everywhere--the office, lost and found, and even the classroom I was last in. My locker is a disaster, and everything falls out of it, so I was thinking maybe it fell out of my locker and I didn't notice, and someone just took it. I'm really scared right now, because it was a gift for me from passing 6th grade. I'm in 9th grade now. I haven't told my parents yet, because I know they WILL freak out on me. And what if I can't find it? I would be devastated. PLEASE HELP ME! T_T

Pipe Tobacco Taxes United Kingdom.? I have just noticed, that the last few tins and pouches of Pipe Tobacco I bought, don't have the "UK Duty Paid" Notice on the packs. The only time I have not seen these notices are on duty free cigarettes bought as a gift or buying on return journey in from outside the EEC. Is pipe tobacco duty different from the Cigarette tax and levies from HMC&R. I've bought all my pipe tobacco from UK stores, and wondered if the law was slightly different. Thanks

Unique Renaissance Favors for Wedding? I am planning on having my wedding at the Renaissance Festival and am trying to come up with good ideas for wedding favors that a mix of people from young and old and all across the spectrum might enjoy. The major problem is that we aren't allowed to bring in outside food, so my ideas for chocolates shaped like dragons/fairies/etc would be out the window and I am left to non-edible favors only! The wedding would be on the weekend of 1001 Dreams which is all about fairies, fantasies, and amazing things that one might not have believed in (until now!). I am Irish, and that's helped me narrow down a few things. I know for certain I do NOT want to pass out candles or picture frames. Here's some ideas I had so far: Small wooden mugs (if not too expensive, depends on guest count). Suede leather pouches. 4 Leaf Clovers (thought it would be a neat gift and unique!). Shamrock Bracelets (they're green with little clovers cut out of them, the rubber bands). Plantable Flowers. Fake gold coins. Fairy dust. Right now I'm just brainstorming so anything and everything you guys can come up with helps me decide what I do, or don't, want! Thanks! It's not rude at all, in fact. It's the input I need to figure out what I want to do or not. :) Like I said, I'm brainstorming and need all the input I can get without actually resorting to asking my guests. It's going to be a big mixed group with quite a bit of younger people, that's why I listed things like the dust and coins and bracelets among other things. I will ask about that, I wasn't sure since they won't let you bring in a cake so I just figured no on the edibles, too. And homemade chocolates in more appropriate celtic/fantasy shapes I thought would be a nice and personal touch...and people tend to like edibles! XD OH! I did forget to mention...I was thinking about doing a butterfly release. What do you guys think? I double checked already if this was allowed and they said that it is. Each guest would get a small box with a butterfly we could all release together during the reception sometime. :)

What Kind of Steak Do I Have? I got some steaks as a gift from a neighbor from doing some work for him. I would like to know what type of steaks they are. It doesn't say anywhere. Their 1" thick 2" wide and 5" long. I don't know how many ounces. The have no bone and have very little viable fat. They have a little marbling in the middle of the steak. They came prepackaged in these pouches (1 steak per pouch) and are frozen. The are pre-seasoned, sort of like a Omaha Steak. So what cut of meat is it. (sirloin,s trip, filet, etc. ) Thanks

Is this a good start for a story? I am 14 and I have more to the story I just want to know what people think of the beginning. Chapter One Magic is anything but simple Winter was approaching rapidly that year. It was only November and yet the air was dry. Will walked briskly up the path to his home, the leaves piled on the sides. Once he got inside he began to ply away the many layers of clothing that covered him. “Will, is that you?” His mother called from the kitchen. “Yes,” called Will. He walked into the small kitchen and instantly a thousand smells entered his nostrils. A woman with long, curly red hair turned around and Will saw the face of his mother.“I was getting worried about you,” She said with a smile. “You said you’d be home earlier than this.” “Jamane came in to buy food for the castle,” said Will exasperated. “She always takes forever.” “Jamane, huh,” said Will’s mother with the smallest of a smirk on her face. “I always thought she was pretty, don’t you.” “She’s okay looking,” admitted Will. “But she’s so pompous and stubborn and she’s…and she’s...and she’s JAMANE!” “Okay, Okay, there’s no need to get all worked up. I was only making a statement.” Will’s mother set a plate of cookies onto the small wooden table. “Sorry,” said Will taking a bite of one of the cookies. “Was there a reason why you wanted me to come home early?” “Yes, Aron came over and told me that you need to see him later today.” “Did he give a reason?” “No, but why would he tell me secret information that a sixteen year-old can have?” she said sarcastically, “Just because I’m not a man doesn’t mean that I should be kept in the dark. I mean I was the ‘man’ in your life when your father, when your father died.” Will sighed; his mother had been going on like this since his birthday. “I’m going to see what Aron wanted,” he said getting up from the small wooden table. “Behave yourself and don’t anger that insane skattle of his.” “Don’t worry. Benewen and I get along much better now.” Will smiled and looked at the scar on his arm that Benewen had given him when he was two. In the shape of a W Will was somewhat proud that the only scar he had reflected his name. Will walked into town and up to Aron’s cottage. He knocked on the door, but there was no answer. “Good, you’re here,” said a grizzly voice behind him. Will turned around to see an old man with short grey hair, electric-blue eyes, and a little fox-like creature weaving around his feet. “Hello Aron. Hello Benewen.” “The W begins his name, but someday it will be his fame,” came the sing-song voice of the skattle. “Okay then,” said Will, he had never gotten use to the way the skattle spoke. “Riddles are hard to make, but mine are certainly not fake. It is not fun to rhyme, especially all of the time.” “Never mind him,” said Aron. He unlocked the door and they stepped inside. The floor was strewn with books and old newspapers. There were two armchairs by the fireplace and a small kitchen in the corner, along with two doors on opposite walls. Aron lit the fire and put a kettle on the wood-burning-stove. “Sit down, sit down,” said Aron waving his hand at the two arm chairs. Will cleared the chairs of newspaper and sat down. “Mom told me that you needed to see me.” “Yes,” said Aron giving Will a hot mug of tea. “Your magic test is scheduled for December and I wanted to make sure you knew what you were doing.” “I have no idea what I’m going to do, but isn’t the test to see if I can do magic?” “Yes it is but you have to know what you’re going to attempt to do.” “Well, what’s simple?” “Magic is anything but simple,” stated Aron, magic was always such a touchy subject with him. “You have to know the Kragle language thoroughly to be able to make anything happen. You have to know exactly what you want to do. You have to have brains Will!” “Okay, Okay,” said Will. This was why he didn’t like Aron very much; he always got worked up about a lot of things, especially magic. “Well then I guess I want to…um…I guess I want to…um what do you suggest?” “For you, I would suggest a decision making charm.” “Okay, how do I do that?” asked Will, partly laughing. Aron laughed. “That one is one of the harder charms. Seriously though, I think that you should try to levitate something.” “Okay what’s the word for it?” “Levitainta,” said Aron. “But make sure you concentrate and point your finger at the object, like this,” Aron pointed his index-finger at Benewen and flicked it while saying “Levitainta Benewen.” The skattle began to levitate and was hissing and scratching at the air. Will laughed and Aron let Benewen come down. “Because he’s master he can do what he pleases but he won’t like it when he gets the sneezes.” Aron smiled at Will and winked. “Can I try?” asked Will “Try you may but not on Benewen I say.” “I think that answers your question,” said Aron with a chuckle. “Try it on that book over there. Say novena” “Levitainta novena,” said Will flicking his finger. The book hovered in the air for a brief moment and collapsed. “That’s great!” said Aron astonished and Will thought he detected the tiniest amount of pride in his voice. “But it fell right away,” said Will confused and a little disappointed. “But it rose,” said Aron. “It rose because you can do magic. You’ve passed the test and you haven’t even taken it yet!” “I have!? Can you teach me more so that I can ace the test?” “Work on lifting objects for now and maybe I’ll teach you a little more.” “Thanks,” said Will and he set his mug down, got up and began to walk to the door. “Tell your mother I said ‘Hi’,” called Aron. “I will,” said Will and with that he exited the cottage. Chapter two Jamane Will walked home, his mind full of thoughts. Only one child born a year was allowed to use magic when they turned sixteen. Magic users were limited because they had more power than the King! And if Will trained really hard, he may be that one! Imagine him, a lowly shop helper, a wizard! And Aron seemed pleased. Aron, who always seemed so old and angry, yet was treated with the utmost respect, thought he could do it! If it came down to two people, Aron would choose Will to teach! Will rushed home, gave his mother Aron’s greeting, and went to his room. His room was nothing special. There was a small bed pushed against the wall, a desk, and a dresser with a picture on it. Will walked over to the dresser and looked at the picture. It was a sketch of a man with straight, dark-brown hair, like Will’s, and electric-blue eyes, Will’s eyes. “I’m going to make you proud dad,” Will whispered. Will was only a few months old when his father died. King Moragon needed men to fight and chose Will’s dad. Three weeks later, Will’s mother had gotten a letter saying that Will’s father had gone missing. Years passed and there was no word of his father. Eventually he was declared dead. In that time, Aron had moved into town and Benewen had givven Will his scar when he had pulled on the skattle’s tail. For some reason, this memory always made Will smile. Maybe it was because he was now fond of the skattle or maybe it was simply because he liked the shape, the scar had taken. Will picked a rock off the floor and sat on his bed. Not knowing the word for rock he hesitantly decided to use the normal language. “Levitainta rock,” he said, flicking his finger at the rock. The rock rose a little higher than the book had and fell a little later, and he didn’t need the Kragle language! Will tried over and over again until he could lift the rock a foot in the air for a minute. He was going to be the new wizard! There was no way anyone could beat him now, unless everyone else was practicing too. Will hadn’t thought about that before. It would be cheating for Aron to only give him help. He must be giving everyone else help too. Especially the King’s son, Morganarth. Yes, thought Will. Morganarth would most definitely be given help. But maybe he wouldn’t practice. He was, after all, as arrogant as Jamane, if not more. He would think himself to important to practice. Possibly every sixteen year-old boy would think themselves to important to practice. For they were not as poor and lowly as Will. They all had fathers who lived with them. Will looked out his window and saw the moon was high in the sky. He crawled into bed and instantly fell asleep. Will’s dreams were filled with wizards, skattles, and Morganarth. He woke up feeling less confident and lifted the stone in the air just to make sure he really could do it. He walked into the kitchen and ate the oatmeal that was for breakfast. “Are you going to work today?” His mother asked. “I have to,” said Will. “Can you give these quilts to Mrs. Kindle?” “Sure,” said Will taking the blankets from his mother’s hands. “I better get going then,” He said and left the house. He got into town and walked into the grocery store. “Hello Mr. Kindle,” said Will cheerfully. “Mom told me to give these to your wife.” “Ah yes,” said the store owner. “Lillian told me to give you this.” He handed a small pouch of money to Will. “Mr. Fisher also sold me quite a few fish today and I need you to stock them in the ice patches.” “Okay,” said Will. He put his apron on and made his way through the crowded shop to the frozen meat section. He began to place the fish into boxes of ice, when a tanned girl of about fifteen came into the store. “Hello Jamane,” came the voice of Mr. Kindle. “Hello,” said Jamane. She looked around the shop and spotted Will. She smiled at him and he half-heartedly returned it. “What can I do you for?” asked the shop owner. “I need to buy some fish for King Moragon’s supper.” “Lucky for you, we just got some fish in today. Why don’t you help her Will?” “What- oh okay,” said Will not looking forward to this at all. Jamane walked over to him, her long, straight, black hair flowing behind her. “What kind do you want?” “What would you recommend?” she asked, still smiling. “This one’s a large one, fresh and looks good,” said Will trying to get her out of the store as fast as he could. But instead of her getting up to leave, she bent down and reached across his arm to examine the fish herself. As if she knew more about fish than him. “It looks very good,” she agreed looking a little disappointed. “I’ll wrap it up for you.” Will walked over to the counter and began to place paper around the fish. He truly didn’t like the King’s slave. In the same war that Will’s father had died in, Jamane had been taken hostage from her country, Shiqueta and had never even been looked for. She was placed in the King’s service and was a kitchen maid. She was also betrothed to the King’s son, Morganarth. Jamane walked over to the counter. “So when do you test?” she asked. “December,” grunted Will. “Morganarth is testing too.” “Has he shown any sign of magic?” he asked trying not to get his hopes up. “Nothing, Aron’s been working on it with him but nothing has happened yet.” “What’s he suppose to do?” asked Will intrigued against his will. “He’s suppose to lift an object.” “Hmmm. Well there you go,” said Will handing her the package. “Thanks,” said Jamane. “I’ll see you around then Will.” “Yea probably, bye.” Jamane gave Will a strange look, almost a longing one and then turned around and walked out of the store. Morganarth and her would be the perfect couple, he thought. Both arrogant, stubborn, and, (as much as Will hated to admit it, even to himself) Jamane was exceptionally beautiful. Chapter three A life not worth living Will didn’t go directly home after work. Instead he went to Aron’s cottage. He knocked on the door, and Aron allowed him inside. “What do you want boy?” asked the old man. “I wanted to know,” replied Will cautiously. “When you use magic, do you absolutely have to say what you want to do in the Kragle language? Or can you say it in our language?” “Most people have to say it in the Kragle language, but there are a few people who are powerful enough that they can use ours. Why?” “I was just wondering incase I get put into a situation where I need to use magic, but I don’t know the word for it.” “You’re getting ahead of yourself there,” said Aron. “You have to pass the test first. But yes there are a few people who can use magic without the Kragle language, but those people have to be very careful not to do magic when they don’t intend to. And I must warn you Will, it’s not just words that control magic, its feelings too. If you feel very strongly, you can do something that you don’t intend to.” “Can you use magic with out the Kragle language?” asked Will not listening to what Aron just said. “Yes, I am one of those few,” replied Aron. He flicked his finger at a book. “Levitate book,” he said and the book rose high in the air. “As long as it’s not Benewen lifted, master may show that he is gifted,” came Benewen’s voice as he walked in from the other room. “You’re welcome, Benewen,” said Aron smiling and Will laughed. “So have you been practicing?” “Yes,” said Will as though he had been a naughty child caught in the act. “I thought you would be,” said Aron laughing and Will looked up. He wasn’t acting as though he was angry. “Show me what you got.” Will looked at the book Aron had just lifted. “Levitainta novena.” He didn’t want to show that he could do it with the normal language. The book rose high in the air and stayed there for about a minute. “Excellent!” cried Aron when the book came down. “You have been practicing!” “I can do something else too,” said Will deciding on the spot to show Aron. “Levitate book,” and the book rose again. Aron looked stunned. “You’re sixteen right?” “Yes,” said Will nervously. Now he was wondering whether or not this was a good idea. “Most adult wizards can’t do this! For your test though, stick to the Kragle language. And don’t tell anyone that you can do this! If word gets to the King, you will never be allowed out of the castle.” “Secret, secret, secret make your mouth shut and keep it,” said Benewen as he jumped up onto Aron’s lap. “Okay,” said Will nervously. “I won’t tell anyone anything.” “You better get home now,” said Aron. Will got up, scratched Benewen’s ear, and walked out of the cottage. Will was worried now. At the time, he thought that showing Aron what he could do was a good idea. Now he wasn’t so sure. Would Aron tell the King? Surely he wouldn’t. He had told Will not to so why would he? But what if he was forced to said a voice at the back of his mind. If the King found out, Will would become a slave. He would be forced to do the King’s bidding. He would have to fight in any wars. He would have to die to save the soldiers. If he was discovered to have more power than the King, he would be like Aron. Aron came to Arainia two years after Will was born. No one knew anything of his past. He was subjected to take the magic test and passed. The King became extremely worried, for no one had ever been able to perform magic before. The King made Aron move into the capitol, Juna, and become his slave. Aron wasn’t able to do much, for he was under the constant threat of death. All he could do was train any new wizards should they ever appear. Will knew that he had to be careful now or else lead a life that was not worth living. Thank you to everyone who reads this and I really do value your opinion so please comment so that I can make this better. The plot that I have right now has many twists and turns but I'm positive that it will only be enough to fill a 200-300 page book if this all works out right, if that.

Do these look authentic? http://cgi.ebay.com/Gucci-Double-Dog-Tags-925-Silver-Neckalce-Chain_W0QQitemZ160235634323QQihZ006QQcategoryZ3822QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem they came with a gift bag, a box, and a silk pouch... on them it is a "R" i a circle, GUCCI, and "made in italy". under that is the numbers 925. the sellers says they are 100% authentic, but i want to be sure... they dont have a hallmark, which concerns me, but they have this 925 which apperently represents that they are argento silver or something. they are heavy and on a chain which has a screw together link to undo-do up. it also has a smaller chain. what do you think? xxx 260234782183 apparently that is the serial number or something. i have a problem with the fact that it doesnt have a hallmark...

Bridesmaid's gifts...Give me your opinion please? I'm trying to pick out bridesmaids gifts. I have 8 girls, ages 24-27. All but 2 are married (most w/in the past 2 yrs), and the other 2 have their own apartments. I'm trying to think outside the box and beyond makeup pouches, jewelry boxes, and wedding day pearls. I found these personalized cookbook stands, and thought doing them w/ a local cookbook, since all but 1 live at least 2 hrs away. Would do you think? I also considered doing the cookbook stand/apron or apron/cookbook combo. An apron w/ their name monogrammed to say: Jessica's Kitchen or just Jessica. Or if you have another different idea, feel free to share. Thanks in advance. Best answer will be picked.

Does Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for women....? come in a gift set with some sort of blue crushed velvet pouch or something? My best friend is giving me hints on what one of my Christmas presents is and I think it's that but I'm not sure.

I had a fight with my mom. What should I do? Three years ago, my grandmother passed away. I was very close to her, and she left me a pair of beautiful diamond earrings. This is the one thing of hers I have left. Unfortunately, the posts were to big to fit through the tiny holes in my ear. I broke my ankle about a month ago, so I'm on crutches. Plus my dad was yelling at me today, so I went upstairs to talk to my mom (we have a good relationship). I walked into her room, and saw a pretty chinese print pouch on her dresser. Thinking it was a Christmas gift from one of her students (she is a teacher), I opened it. Inside were the earrings. I thought she had been using them for herself, so I started screaming at her for stealing them. After I was done, she told me she had gotten the posts fixed and was going to give them to me as a Christmas present to wear to my winter formal, my first high school dance (my ankle will have healed by then). Then, out of anger from the rest of todays events, I told her it was a horrible gift. She cried for about half an hour afterv our fight. I feel awful. I think this would have actually been my most cherished present ever. What can I do?

PLEASE HELP!! people who are willing to read a bit..it's a good story!!!? just tell me what you think...but please no "good job! keep writing" ...tell me something helpful Grandma’s basement was ancient, dark, dank, and filled with who knows what. Boxes, trunks, and bins of every size and shape were scattered across the floor, lining the walls, and towering from floor to ceiling. It was exactly four days after Grandma’s funeral and mom was devastated. She couldn’t even walk into Grandma’s house, let alone sort through all her junk, so that job was left up to me. My directions exactly: “Sort out her stuff: keep, sell, throw away.” How I was possibly supposed to discern what was worth selling and what needed to be kept at ten years old, I have no idea. I had been sifting through Grandma’s mountains of gadgets when I came upon that one fateful pouch. It was made of the purest velvet hands could feel, royal violet with a silk drawstring. I was just about to toss it over my shoulder into the steadily growing “keep” pile when a sliver of dancing silver light escaped the bag, thrown across the wall for a split second before it disappeared. I blinked, rubbed my eyes and reached out, my tentative fingers struggling to hook the thin drawstring between them. Inside, there was nothing but a little black box. I snapped it open to reveal yet another, smaller pouch. I tugged at the caught zipper, finally releasing it with an extra hard yank. The sack flew from my hands, it’s descent intercepted by the far wall. It landed hard, and a bulky golden chain slipped out, dragging with it an oval-shaped pendant. I fumbled with the pendant for a few seconds and discovered a hinge, which I opened without hesitation. Maybe that was my mistake. Perhaps I should have hesitated. The basement disappeared around me and I landed feet first in what looked like a dungeon (I wouldn’t know, I’d never actually seen one.) Lofty walls of stone that stretched so far that they disappeared into darkness surrounded me. “Laurie! You have kept me waiting longer than I expected… four days it has been. Four days I have waited for you.” It was then that I noticed the dainty chair at the far side of the room; its high wooden back had been facing me. “I-I-I’m n-not Laurie. I’m Mandy.” I stuttered for the first time in my life that day. What was wrong with me? Her voice wasn’t even all that scary. If only I’d had my gift back then… “Mandy?” The voice was sharp now, harsh. “Yes,” I am Mandy. Not Laurie, not mom. “WHAT?” The chair spun around with a skin-crawling screech, revealing perhaps the most stunning creature I’d ever laid eyes on. She had long, auburn hair that flowed down her elegant back in loose curls. Her lips were full and pink, like a freshly blossomed rose. Her eyes were green as a bright spring day, but they held the depth and wisdom of an elder, adding to her natural grace. Her beauty was astounding, and it was all I could do to keep my pathetic jaw from dropping. “Who are you?” She sneered, disfiguring her flawless face. “Mandy Kline, I just told you! How many more times should I say it?” My rush of sarcasm probably wasn’t a good idea, but I couldn’t help it. “Where is Laurie? She is supposed to be the one to discover the locket! Many years I have waited for this day, yet still she eludes me. I want that aura!” The woman’s eyes morphed from pleasant green to gold, then faded into a deep maroon. I can still remember the taste of copper rising in my throat at the sight of her eyes, the nausea that had overwhelmed me so completely. “Grandma was her best friend. When she died, Mom got lost in herself. She can’t do anything but cry these days.” I didn’t know what it was about her, but something had made me want to make her understand. To wipe the smirk off of her face and replace it with the beautiful smile once more. “You are Laurie’s daughter, are you?” Her tone softened and her eyes returned to their lovely green. “Well then, I suppose you would do for a substitute. It is worth a try, since you are already here,” She said, more to herself than to me. I recall the panic, the urge to run, the realization that I couldn’t get away, and even if I could, I’d be lost; most of all I remember the sinking feeling of defeat that had settled in my stomach as her haunting eyes had focused in on me. I backed into the wall, gripping the stones for my life. “Calm yourself, Mandy. It will not hurt.” “What won’t hurt? What are you doing to me? Who are you?” “Anne.” Before I could even think to dodge her, Anne was before me. She projected her left palm, and I noticed the slash of a scar across the tip of her index finger. My heart had been hammering in my throat, an empty chill creeping up my spine. A streak of rainbow light spurted from the scar, hitting my heart directly. I winced, but all I felt was a tingly sensation in my stomach. It only lasted for a short moment before she dropped the hand to her side. “Now, was that not simple? No need to fuss. I have a…gift for you.” Her eyes were bright and frie Her eyes were bright and friendly again as she put a comforting arm around my shoulder and lifted me from the wall. “Gift? What could you have that I want?” My curiosity overcame my rationality. Of course, I knew she probably had many things that I would want, but what did she have to offer? “Perhaps exchange is a more appropriate word.” Oh, so now she wanted something from me? I saw where that was going. She paused. Waiting for my approval? I doubted it, but nodded anyway. “Each and every person has an aura. Each and every aura has it’s own color, scent, opacity, and mood. An aura is essentially a person’s external soul. You, on the other hand have only the remains of what was once a very weak aura. Without some kind of help, you will baffle doctors all around the world with a very sudden and unexpected death. I will be getting the short end of the deal, but I will save you.” “Oh? And why have I never heard of this ‘aura’ thing before?” “Aura! It is pronounced ohrrr-ahh,” She emphasized, eyes flashing. “And of course you have not ever heard of it! There are no magical people where you live. Not in the open, at least.” “And you are magical?” I confirmed. For some reason, the whole concept of magic hadn’t fazed me. I guess I’d been expecting it. But it hadn’t really hit me yet. It wouldn’t hit me until I would wake up on May twenty-fifth. “Yes, I am magical. How else do you think I could have gotten you here?” Before I could respond, my shaky ankles gave way and I slid to the cold, stone ground. She cut me off before I could form a question, or at least a sarcastic remark. “Silence! Listen: your aura is weak and dying. I can see it fading as we speak. If you have any hope to live, you must make your choice. I am offering you a gift, a power beyond any other.” Her eyes were somewhere beyond me, in a place I dared not imagine. “Get on with it already! What’s your offer?” “Patience is a virtue, Mandy,” She chided. I had a wonderful remark ready, but I bit with a grimace. If you’ve ever actually bitten your tongue, you would understand it’s not the bet way to shut yourself up. “With this gift, you will be able to see and smell any aura, which is usually impossible as they are undetectable to mortals. This gift is a one of a kind treasure.” Her emerald eyes glazed over with passion. “And what do you want in return?” “I will be taking your aura and replacing it with the gift. It is quite simple, really.” “How exactly are you supposed to give it to me? Does it come in a box? A potion? Why should I trust you anyway?” “You are quite inquisitive. It is too late for you to doubt me, for the gift is already given. You will feel its effects on your next birthday. Until then, please be patient, young friend. Goodbye, Mandy.” And before I had a chance to argue, I was back in Grandma’s basement, locket in hand. I turned the locket over and noticed a smear of red. There was a slash on my right hand in the top joint of my index finger, identical to the one I had noticed on Anne. It had glowed furiously, pulsing in rhythm with my heart.

how can people take something that doesn't belong to them? I was at the mall today, and I had about a good $400 in gift cards, ready to spend. I get something to eat with my friends, take out the little pouch had, make sure I had all the cards, and put it back in my bag. I go to look at some stuff in a store, go to take the pouch out, and it's gone. I Ran around the whole mall to where we ate, the lost and found, back to the store, and nothing. Odds are, if they haven't turned anything in already, then it's gone. my family works hard for their money, and for it to just be gone kills me. I feel disgusted that someone can be so selfish! I can't even explain it. And the funny thing is, when we went to go back to the food court to search for my purse, we found someone else's wallet. And handed it right in. karma however, didn't kick in for me.

What should I do about this MIP and Concealment of a Dangerous Weapon? So it started when I went down to denver to visit a cousin flying in from spokane. I had to drive 4 hours to get there and on the last day of my stay (Sunday Night 6pm) I went to the mall to the Oriental Gift Shop (Sales of oriental goods and weaponry that is for collection). So I bought 4 small throwing knifes (I believe less than 4 inches in blade length) it was the last set they had so they gave me a pouch with the 4 knives already in place so I put them in my front pocket, I also bought a finger gauntlet that was in a bag in a box with the reciept. So Im on my way home and I get pulled over in Kimball Nebraska (Sunday 10pm) for going 77 in a 75. He has me get out of the car and he asks if I have anything in my pocket. I say yeah I got these throwing knives from the oriental gift shop and etc etc. and he takes them out of my pocket. He continues to ask me if I have anything else. I tell him yeah I had the gauntlet that was in my trunk in the bag it came with, and the reciept is also in there. He says im being charges with Concealment of a Dangerous Weapon. Now these knives are dull and like I said I believe less than 4 inches im not for sure though because not only did he confinscate the throwing knives from the gift shop, but he took my gauntlet out of the trunk and out of the bag and confiscated that too... I dont understand why but he did. He searches my car and gets it out and places both on my car. He also finds a bottle of Mikes Hard Lemonade, unopened under my passenger from seat. I had no intention nor did I have any idea that it was under my seat. My sister had taken my car earlier in the weekend and it was left in there. I have court on October 26th, and I just dont know how to go about it. In this case I had no intention on doing anything illegal nor anything to hide from the police and I was perfectly honest. I know most people say how they "dont know where that came from" but I really had no clue it was in my car and to tell you the truth I would much rather prefer a budlight over Mikes Hard Lemonade. =P. Any comments or suggestions?
