Who is saying it doesn't affect their travel?  Everyone I talk to says that yes they will probably stay home this summer?

I had planned on driving during my vacation this summer so I could take my dogs, but I'm not so sure now. I may leave them behind and fly. Air Tran is selling one way tickets for $89. We had planned on going to Florida and Vegas but whenever I think about the gas prices, staying at home and doing home improvements and landscaping might be more satisfying. And for the person who said you were indigent is just ignorant.

You're lucky.  Enjoy the summer, becase when you get older and have to work for a living, you don't get the summer off.  I'm at work right now.\n\n(Don't tell my boss I'm answering questions.  He thinks I'm running reports.)

If I was you I think I'd do whatever it takes to avoid these people, even if you have to move. \nMisery loves company and they are trying to make your family just like theirs. \nFind better people to socialize with before your hindsight tells you you should have.

My parents have a place on a lake about an hour and half away. I try to get down there as often as possible in the summer. When I go on vacation, I love going down to my timeshare in Palm Beach right on the ocean. I look at the website sometimes and just wish I was there. My other retreat at work is Yahoo Answers.

Everyone's more or less right so far.\n\nBut there is another explanation as well.\n\nIf you were to call AT 6, I will be home--possibly because I never left, possibly because I will arrive before six, or possible I will arrive exactly at exactly at six.\n\nIf I will be home BY six, it means I  definately left, but if you want to call, then six is the earliest you can call to be guaranteed of reaching me at home.\n\nBy saying I will be home at 6, I am saying don't expect me to  arrive home before that time\nBy saying I will be home by six, don't expect me to arrive home later than that.time

I have the same question for anything that involves a 'pass'.  How do you enforce their leaving?  Right now up to half of the people here came legally and overstayed visas.  Why would these passes miraculously be enforced?

I just heard on the news this morning that hurricane season is once again upon us. They did say that it shouldn't be as bad as last year though.\n\nI don't know how the people that live in these areas do it...they really have to love where they're at to continue to live in the hurricane zones and rebuild or evacuate or whatever comes along. \n\nPersonally I am not that flexible with my life. I like stability and security.  Even if the insurance does cover the loss of the actual building and contents..you can never replace or put a value on your possessions or your life. \n\nI think the predictions hold some merit. They are just that...predictions,but I would definitely think twice before building in that area. Not the life for me.

I'm sorry to hear this, and think that management is quite inconsiderate for doing it in such a way.\n\nNo, I don't think anyone can go to sleep as soon as they get home--need time to unwind.  You'll probably wind up with little, if any, sleep.\n\nAgain, I'm sorry.

I know exactly what you are talking about. My parents did that with me all the time at that age. I'm 21 now, and they know I am free to do what I need to do, but every once in a while they act like they don't want me to go. I can tell you exactly what it is: Your parents are having a hard time accepting the fact that you are no longer a child, but an adult. It is normal for them to seem a little overprotective because of that, they just want the best for you, no matter what your age is, and they still want to be acknowledged as important in your adult life. Even with a full time job, and with my friends and boyfriend, I still try to find time with them, kind of my way of saying that I understand how they are feeling, and because they are my family, no matter what. Before you leave to go somewhere, give them a hug and tell them, "I'll get home safely. I love you. See you later!" Just let them know you appreciate them, and I promise, as you grow older the more they will continue to learn to let go. Good Luck

Having read you story, I don't think that these people are what I would call friends. If you know for a fact that their kid was stealing, and they back the kid up every time without even considering that you have no reason to lie about this, this indicated that your world to them is meaningless. The situation with the air conditioner is the back breaker. Friendship is a give and take situation, just like any good relationship. These people are very selfish. They could care less about you, all they care about is themselves. I would give the people the heave-ho, and good riddence.That just me. You asked for my opinion, and this is it. There is an old saying which goes, "you don't know someone, until you live under the same roof with them". You will be wiser in the future when it come to having others live under the same roof with your family.

No, I don't think they should go unchallenged if they want to stay. Now if they want to come for a short visit...( 2 seconds ) then leave, fine. But no. We have our own AMERICAN problems to deal with without them ILLEGALS adding to them. There are AMERICAN children and elders ( who by the way worked hard to pave the way for our generation and generations to come) that are going to bed hungry and having to choose between food and proper medical care while these ILLEGALS are corrupting and taking advantage of the system that should be catering to the above mentioned.  And I am sick to death of having to press #1 on the phone if I want to hear the message in ENGLISH. It should be ENGLISH by default.

If there are true friends, they will understand your feelings. Moving from one extreme to another has made you see what your preferences are as far as where you choose to live. You are happy. They shouldnt hold that against you. Just explain how going back made you feel, the good about seeing them and the bad about the city.

The Illegals are going home. The Illegals are going home.   More and more everyday.  Now maybe they can come the right way.  And To those with sob stories--we have plenty here-who have been waiting longer,\n\nLooks like some-are afraid so they won't address this.

I think a lot of people are feeling anxious about the end of the year. People will be leaving and summer plans are being made. I also have noticed that a lot of teens have been getting in really bad fights. Its sad because the summer is coming and its a time to celebrate. All of these friendships that are being ended are putting a damper on things! You teens need to look around an realize that these people are going to be around for a while and you need to deal with issues in a realistic way. Fighting is not the answer!

You would know better than some jerk on the Internet where you are from.\n\nWhy anyone would dispute this with you I cannot say.\n\nWe all encounter so many people on the net who are either stupid, ignorant, or simply trying to stir the sh*t.\n\nIgnore them.\n\nThey are simply trying to engage you in pointless debate. Do not give them the satisfaction of any response.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nP.S. Maybe they are so ingnorant themselves that they cannot comprehend the idea of someone travelling from one country to another, getting a good education, and using language, grammar and spelling that are better than their own.\n\nIn this case, if I were you, I'd take it as a compliment, and move on.
