Open Question: Would you distrust this person? Would you be able to confide in her?
You were a small child, probably nine, small for your age.
You go to swim in the river with your older married sibling and her husband. His little sister is along, about same size of you. Both very small. Big innertube. One sitting on front, her, you on the back, back to every
one. You are so small, the two, there is much room
between the two of you on the tube. Before going into the water your sister says can you swim. You say “Yes”. because you can, you have been going up stream and swimming downstream for some time from waist high water. You did not know you were going into deep water. Never been over your head, ever. This is during a period of your life when no one seems to like you, and you are rarely included in anything.
Everyone is preferred to you, and you get left out, no one talks to you re. anything. Ecstatic to be included
for a change.. They push the inner tube out into the deep, carefully watching the other child. One on either side of her. You are sitting with your back on this huge innertube. They are treading water. It is deep. You are unsuspecting, completely unsuspecting, just happy
to be doing something with someone, be included..
Suddenly, you are dumped and something clobbers you hard on the head, dazing you. You surface a little way from the tube, gasping, choking trying to tread water, getting farther and father away. Trying to stay
afloat and to
get your bearings, keep going under. Each time you
go under you choke, panic has set in, snot streaming and water is hurting your throat and lungs, each time you come up you cannot talk, or speak, but they are petting, stroking fussing over the other child. You cannot get to the tube and are literally, literally drowning. All but water in your lungs about to give up, when finally she comes to get you. Close, very very close to drowning, literally. Never an inquiry if you are ok. Never an I’m sorry, or why nothing. I did not lie about being able to swim.

It is just a joke to them. Obviously, later they tell a much
minimized story to my mother and there is a reenactment. Much smaller scale. A parody, a comedy.
Once again, they stress how they prefer someone else
to me.

Would you trust these people. Later in life you try to approach this subject. Denial. Complete avoidance,
same thing. This is the way my relatives do me.
Always have, talk over, under about, and never have an apology, never an explanation. Nothing. This is part of why I am not cared for by anyone.That does not
mean I will allow anyone to abuse me. They base their treatment of me purely on gossip from others,never
never ask me anything. Do not want to know. Not
a close family…..not to me.

Due to their feelings for me, they cannot believe
anyone else could love me or care about me. My husband did not beat me, yell at or curse me. Did not do drugs, not a drinker or gambler.. Did not, as far as I know mess around on me. He may have had an affair once when we were having a hard time. He was not using me for a ahole or deep throat. They cannot believe that due to their
complete and total lack of love for me.

Would you trust this sister? Would you like it if you
were made to be subject to her. My life is over pretty much . I don[’t guess it matters now. I have spent the past 23 years desperately trying to have a personal life with friends of my own, people who really love me.
This person told me I never had a friend in my life.
That is probably true. No guy I dated ever wanted anything to do with me except for sex. Probably true.
They did not get it. My husband treated me better than anyone ever treated me in my life before I married, and better than I have ever been treated since my divorce.

I was not a bully as a child. I was small for my age
until I was about ll, or 12 when I gained a little wt.
Even then I was not fat. I was not a fat child, or teen,
and it was not due to being starved. I was not fixated.

I have been unable to build a life. As far as I know
my children and he are the only ones who ever cared for me and that was sometimes strained due to outsiders..

Believe it or not, I am not nuts. I have no pathology
in my personality. I love the Lord. I grieve over the loss of the past 23 years. I made not one single friend outside, when I lost my long time job no one called, not church, no one. No one expressed any caring or concern at all. Just ripped off everything I had,
may have tried to arson my home, and total out my car.
.
Everyone’s minds were poisoned to me, and they could not see me as I was, merely as they were told I was.

I sound like the drama queen. No. I despise this and
said nothing for over thirty years, then I grossly exaggerated, and retracted it all. I told the woman not to repeat the lies. I was not a juvenile delinquent. Did not shoplift. Liked books, academic things, being healthy,
health nut, (was) liked pretty clothes, looking nice,
going to church, being pretty, being
“farther and farther”
Clarification: During the years I was married to my husband, he treated me better than anyone had ever treated me.
I fared better when I was married to him, than since. I never went without when I was married to him.

Open Question: can u make my life better plz by helping me?? worth 13 points and best answer.if correct ,only 7 questions ?
Read the play excerpt below and answer the questions that follow with the BEST answer.
plz read it and then mark the correct answer!!!!!!!

At rise we see DAD, TINA, and MARK rushing in and out of the living room. Each enters carrying important items—such as sleeping bags, rain gear, and gallons of water—, sets them down, and exits. All three come in together, and MOM bursts through the front door.
DAD: Where’s the water now?
MOM: As high as the car’s wheels.
DAD: We’d better go.
MOM: We can’t. The car’s dead.
DAD: What?
MOM: The water is up to the engine; it won’t start.
TINA: Oh, no!
MARK: What can we do?
DAD: I don’t know. (He looks through the window.) It isn’t raining now.
MOM: The water is still rising. The levee must have broken.
TINA: Will we drown?
MARK: Can’t we swim away?
DAD: No! That’s too dangerous. What we need is a boat!
MARK: I wish we had one!
TINA: We’re going to drown!
DAD: (reaching to hug her) No, honey. We’ll just go upstairs. If we have to, we’ll climb onto the roof. (to Mark) Let’s get jugs of water and the camp stove upstairs. I’ll get the canned food out of the basement.
MOM: Be careful! (She smiles and nods as DAD waves a flashlight and exits. MOM turns to MARK and TINA, gripping each child’s shoulder.) Listen to me. None of us is going to be hurt. Do you hear me? No one will be hurt! The worst that will happen is we’ll be cold and wet for a while. (She looks from one to the other.) We’re together, and we’re in our home. We have water and food, and we can climb above the rising water. But just as importantly, we aren’t alone! Other people—our friends and neighbors—are living through this flood with us.
Little by little, everyone will work together to make sure no one is harmed. We’re part of a community. Our family is much larger than just the four of us!
(DAD returns, dripping wet and carrying a box of canned food.)

Open Question: Ok , so what do you think of my short story plot? read pleasee?
I have to write a short story for english, and I need some help or suggestions on the plot i came up with. :::::::::

A girl, lets call her Emma for now, is on a bus coming home from whistler, and she sees this really cute guy she has never seen before, and he is writing on this gold colored notepad. She goes and sits beside him and she introduces herself, compliments his writing and such, and asks his name. and he says it, and then gives her the cold shoulder, so she goes and sits back in her original seat. Suddenly the bus slides out of control onto a thin ice cliff. Quickly everyone leaves through the back emergency exit, but the Emma tries to be heroic by saving a little girl scared at the front of the bus. But unfortunately for her, the guy who gave her the cold shoulder earlier comes out of nowhere trying to save the little girl as well. But Emma being stuborn wont let him be the hero, so the two of them start arguing. So the bus falls into the ice river hundred of feet below them, and Emma wakes up in the hospital where her family explains it is a miracle she lived seeing as though she had not a scratch on her or any damage. Emma asks about the little girl and the guy, and they say that the little girl, nor the bus are yet to be found, and there is no history of the guy boarding the bus, or even anyone with his name at the school. So Emma thinks she is halusinating until she begins opening her get well soon cards, and she finds a gold colored one like the notepad the guy was writing on and innside is a short letteer, and it is signed by the guy, and she realizes all of his initials make up the word angel.

any good?
