Help with a friendly ghost?
Within the past two weeks everyone in my house hold has been experiencing paranormal occurrences. My aunt said when she was laying in bed (in the middle of the day) the end of her bed began shaking, as if someone was standing on it and jumping up and down. This happened at night while she was wide awake and the only reason she did not tell anyone is because she could hear me and her daughters talking downstairs, and was calmed down. That next day, my younger cousin said she woke up around 4:00 AM because it felt like someone was pushing up and down on the corner of the bed. My aunt then admitted to having the same experience. Later that night, my cousins and I were bowling and my aunt and her boyfriend went to the store (so no one was home). She was checking out when her boyfriend said he forgot something and to wait for him in the car. He was taking really long and decided to call, but he didn't answer. She texted him and told him she was waiting out front. He called back but all she could hear was static. When he finally came out she apologized for not being able to hear him when he called. He said I didn't call you. and she said, Yes you did at 10:12. and he said Honey, by phone is at home laying on the bed. When they got home all the doors were locked and they walked upstairs together, and sure enough his phone was laying on the bed, with an unread text messages and an outgoing call for 22 seconds long. When my cousins and I got home, they immediately told us about what happened. A little freaked out, one of my cousins went into her room to get her laptop to look it up, when a picture frame of our family that was hanging on the wall was on the floor (face up) When she went to put it back, she realized it's one of those frames that has two nail head holes that you actually have to lift it up and pull it out to get it off of the wall. The next night my aunt began seeing glimpses of a little boy in her hallway outside her bedroom door. She never got a good look at him and only saw that he had blonde hair. A few days later, and a few more glimpses, he appeared in the middle of the night and was smiling and laughing for several seconds. She saw that he was wearing old overalls and was about four years old an appeared very happy. After talking to her friend about it, my aunt decided he was probably a friendly ghost who just wanted some help. So that night when her boyfriend was at work she decided to confront him. She felt like an idiot but she muted the tv in the middle of watching it and said We don't wont to hurt you and we're not afraid of you, we just want to help you. If you want us to help please give me some sort of sign. She unmuted the tv and not even a minute later the strangest thing happened. at the end of her bed is a fan that always blows from the bottom of the bed towards the headboard, and anything that is light enough to be blown away is blown up against the wall. But a receipt that was sitting on her headboard floated off of it (against the wind of the fan) and landed next to her hand. A little shocked, my aunt goes to put the paper back and of course the fan pushes it up against the wall. This sounds crazy, but my aunt is now convinced the movements on their beds were him jumping and playing on it, and he somehow called her because he missed her or was giving her some sort of sign. Also, he wanted to take a close look at the family portrait that was hanging relatively high. We all think he somehow looks up to her as a mother figure because she is honestly the most loving person I know (she took me in and adopted me this past summer when my parents weren't fit to care for me). This weekend we plan on going to the library looking up records on our house, which is only 50 years old and they have been living here for 16 years. We're not sure what we'll find but we're just looking for some advice. We do not want to force this boy out but would like to help him pass on. Does anyone have similar stories or have advice on what to do next. Most of us were skeptics until now, but we honestly believe something paranormal is happening to us.

Do Christians think the world is better with people in it that make wild claims about gods and ‘holy spirits’?
Personally, I think this makes the world a much worse place. All these lying SOB’s running around making absurd claims about invisible gods and crazy bible myths and they are never held to account for the claims they make. In a world like this, truth is treated like a resented child, right? You know the kind of child I’m talking about? It might have a speech impairment or behavioral problems and the parents of this child resent it and are ashamed of it but they have to nurture it because it’s still their kid. Truth is like the child of humanity, right? But religious people, the majority, treat truth badly, don’t they? They think they can hide the truth where people won’t see it. Do they think they can bring truth out occasionally from the small room where they keep it just so truth appears in family portraits and they can say, “See, we have truth with us!” but then shove truth back into the hidden place when they no longer need it?

how do you feel about simply giving away copies of your wedding photos of family and friends to those who ask?
we paid a fair amount for our photographer and some family members are asking for copies of the photos of themselves from the wedding which is fine, but i'm almost being made to feel that it's my job to make sure they get a picture. normally i wouldn't mind but my photographer happens to be a friend and he mentioned to me about one aunt and uncle making a point of having him wait until all their kids were around to do a 'family shot' of them all dressed up rather than the relaxed 'un-posed-for' shots that i was hoping for. is it just me or does that seem an odd request at somebodys wedding? now they're asking me to send them a larger than average print of that 'family pic'. and mentioning this to another family member, the response i got was 'well do i get one of me and my kids as well then? oh thats lovely'. i almost feel like saying - its a pic from my wedding not a free family portrait of your day out so it's staying in the wedding album' but i feel really nasty by feeling that way. it wouldn't hurt to get a cheapy copy done at a supermarket but these are my wedding day photos, and i feel like they're being treated as a free way of getting a dressed up family pic. even my step mother copied them to her laptop without asking. my photographer didn't password protect the disk because he is a friend and i feel like that fact is being abused. i know i'm over-reacting to a certain extent here but is it just me or are people taking the mickey a little?

Should I talk to my dad again?
My dad is very hard to be around. He is always hateful and will change the subject to talk about his past and how he's a victom of his past. He depresses me when he's like this. When he drinks it gets worse. he doesn't want to admit that he has mental problems and an alcohol problem (both are problems on his side of the family.) My dad and I usually get along just as long as he stays positive and out of his past.. He never talks about happy things. He can't say that he loves me (another family problem) He is never proud of me. (at least he doesn't verbally express it) There is always a problem and when I tell him about something that makes me happy (like how I will be attending college) He says negative things and often acts jealous. Since he is so negative he really has no friends. He doesn't talk to his family and often speaks bad about my entire family including my girlfriend of 4 years. No one want's anything to do with him. I feel sorry for him. He's great to be around just as long as I keep him busy with a movie or music. anything to keep him from bringing out the booze and yelling about his past. about 5 months ago my dad blew up at me for posting a picture of the family on facebook. It was a normal picture too. Nothing offending or crazy. Just an old family portrait. It was so stupid but I had had enough of his crazy ways. I havn't talked to him since then. If he would have just asked me to take it down I would have. No problem. I love my dad and can't stop thinking about him. i feel that if I do talk to him again he will only be mad at me for something dumber within a few days. What do you think? He's 48. I'm 23. I've told him how I feel even threatened him that I would never talk to him again. He continued. He's been like this for decades. He has told the same pity stories about his family since I was little. I can't stand it. The whole family has been pushed away from him. Sometimes I think he wants to be alone.

Do you think it's best to keep my personal deep secret an secret for my wedding?
It is getting to the point where this personal deep secret of mine is kind of bothering me a little because of my past time. I went shopping yesterday with my mother for my wedding dress and shoes and my mother bought me this beautiful dress and a pair of beautiful 6 inch Stiletto Heels Wedding Platform Sandal Shoe with clear lucite on the bottom part of my shoe. It was actually pretty fun shopping for it but I'm having some guilt. I'm not totally a real woman I'm actually used to be a guy and I got an transition from male to female at the age of 22. My mother and father knows about this and when I talked to them they said to forget about the past be who you are now, my mother said You'd definetly wanted to be a girl when you were a teenager and now you can. My fiance has 3 kids already so that would also make me a mother and a wife when I get married. But everything seems like it has to be exagerated so much. My fiance saw my family's old picture of me when i was a guy in my teens and ask who is that, I just said it was my little brother who died now. Even my little sister now has to try to remember to call me big sister and my little sister because of how extremely short she is, she has to wear 5 inch heels when she is standing next to me or going out with me because it just looks awkward without her in heels. I'm 59 and my little sister is 53 but when i wear my heels it makes me taller and so when i stand next to my sister the height actually fits. Because of my transition to female everything has to be complicated from my sister height to my height to our old family portraits. My family had to move from North Carolina to New York because of my transition to female. My fiance was kind of wondering about my old family portrait because he says my little brother looks a little like me. I mean you won't be able to tell that I'm a Male to Female Transition Girl unless If you've asked me because I appear 100 % a female on the outside. I appear as a female and I have everything that a girl has from Breasts to a Vagina. I do honestly feel guilty a little about this but my parents and little sister have told me to keep my secret a deep secret. Do you think it's best for me to keep my personal secret an secret ?? What would be the best thing for me to do ? The wedding is almost about a month away from now and I hope things would go smoothly. I actually meeted my fiance from the law firm that I worked for, I work as an Attorney and My fiance happened to be working in the law firm as an attorney to. I'm currently 32 years old.

Where can I find matching dresses?
I need to find matching special occasion dresses for my two girls. I have a 3 month old and a 2 1/2 year old. My baby wears 0-3 or 3-6 months and my toddler wears 3T. I want to find either white or pale pink or pale blue dresses that will work for their dedication at our church. I also plan to use these dresses for our family portraits and Easter so something appropriate for that. I want them to be as matching as possible. Sleeveless is ok as I have sweaters for the girls to wear over them to stay warm. I have been searching online and it seems every dress I like, they don't have in a small enough size for my baby. Or they only have it in infants and not in toddlers. Please list any links you come across or can think of. I'd appreciate any help for this. Thanks so much in advance. BTW, I need these dresses in two weeks. So if I have to wait forever for shipping, I can't do it. Thanks. Thanks but that link isn't working for me for some reason. Can you tell me what you googled to find them so I can do the same? Thanks.

Why are happy people so cruel?
I'm really depressed with life, people always treating me like I'm stupid just because I lack social skill (I have social anxiety) in school all my class are smarter than me cause they have good communication skills. I'm shy and I hate happy people cause they are mean as if I don't have it bad already. I don't want to live anymore.. I can't picture myself progressing in life. I always dreamed of having my own family portrait but the way I am right now girls think I'm the loner weirdo who's going to shoot the school. I ask here because I have zero friends in life.. my PC is my only friend.. I'm so depressed.. I'm also almost done with getting my associates degree and the teacher I have now is so full of himself HE is the reason why I want to quit my career. If I can't communicate what use in life do I have? I don't have money to see a doctor or psychiatrist either
