I am having a party at my house on a Saturday night. I have no choice but to have it outside on my deck so it will be noisy. I live at the end of a street so I don't think I will be bothering to many people.
Its a semi-formal/formal get together. Their will be dancing, bon-fire, hot tub, snacks and a scary movie at the very end of the night. How do I keep everyone from going off into the woods? Bothering the neighbors? Peeing in the Hot Tub and not making a ton of noise. My mom approved of it already... I just don't want things to be a total disastor. Also I'm hosting this party because I don't want to go to prom and I plan on having like a mini select our own Formal King and Queen. Any ideas on how to do that?
This is my first time hosting a party so I need some pointers...
Thx.Need tips and Advice on how to throw a good party for minors?
the first party I had was a Halloween party.
now we went a little 'all out' but we got a air hockey table, had a pool table, and foose ball. Keeps people entertained. We chose music we knew would make everyone happy. for our friends who like hop hop we had hip hop, we had country, we had jazz...everything. We ordered pizza and cookies, served water and tons of soda. We didn't have any alcohol we made sure of it. If any one brought it in they were told to leave. We had some really big guys supervise things to make sure it didn't get out of control. if you're worried about them running off into the woods, maybe set up a temporary fence to make limits, peeing in the hot tub lol well lets just hope they don't. We tried to have a movie it didn't work to well, no one cared but we kept in running any way. assign someone to watch over the fire, that can get a bit crazy.
Neighbors, we went around the block and put notices in the mail boxes to let them know that we were throwing a party and would turn the music down about 11pm. We said if they had any questions to call us and left our numbers. We had absolutely no complaints that way.
otherwise your party sounds like it's going to be really fun. WAY better than prom, i went to my prom and hated it, waste of money!Need tips and Advice on how to throw a good party for minors?
Dont have alcohol ready available - that will be sure to get you in trouble - tell all of the guest that you put a chemical in the hottub to detect urine - so if anyone pisses in it then you will know and that will be the end of the party. Also might add that you need everyone to be semi quiet so that you will be sire to have more parties in the future. ???
NO ALCOHOL.
well first off 2 keep every 1 in line tell them that the best behaved cuple will be king and queen also have them vote and u could up a TALL fence so tht they dont run off and to make evry 1 happy go 2 the peeps u r inviting and ask them for some of there favorite foods and make that and they might stay and enjoy there favorite food and provide a soft drinks and popcorn and snacks the movie make sure it isnt a stupid scary movie here r some suggestions:
the grudge
the grudge 2
freddy
the wrong turn
the texas chainsaw massacre
see no evil
saw 1
saw 2
saw 3
best of luck
NO ALCOHOL. The second thing I would do is have someone slightly older than you to ';chaperone.'; I don't mean separate people who are dancing to closely, rather someone to just keep their eyes and ears open. If they are close to your own age they won't stick out. That way you can enjoy yourself without having to worry about your guests. It seems that you have already done a great job planning the event. With more things to do, it is less likely that you will have problems.
Considering that you are having your own court, you defintiely need to get a tiara and crown. You could make winning it a funny contest instead of popularity contest. Perhaps pictionary, I know it seems goofy, but whatever age you're dealing with seems to like the game, especially once you get going. Or a dance off. Depending on how out going your guests are.
Frisk them at the door...
Feed them well
Play the music LOUD (so it thumps thru to the boys so they will dance)
Ask your neighbors to drop in if they want to.. = to help you out= they won't = but then they will tolerate the noise knowing they can come over... to give you suggestions... lol (sly trick but it works)
SEW have fun with the kids
teens sometimes like to play around with the kid stuff if you present it in a fun way. The balloon kits that you can make animals and swords work well. Soap bubbles and sidewalk chalk,silly putty and helium balloons that they can draw on. We've had bonfires that the teens grabbed the younger kids toys to entertain themselves with.

What is your advice to help my oldest daughter deal with a new sibling?
I have 3 daughters ages 8, 6, and 4. I recently had a little boy who is 9 days old. My oldest daughter has been acting up since we brought her brother home from the hospital. She's been punching and bullying her other sisters and has been playing tricks on everyone. I've tried sitting her down and talking to her straight up, I've tried threatening her. She keeps doing really bad things. How do I handle this? What do I do?What is your advice to help my oldest daughter deal with a new sibling?
I have 4 kids of my own 10 year old boy,7boy,6,girl and 19 month old girl.one of the first things i did was to make my oldest my helper not for his brother and sisters,but for me and baby,just having that time with him and the baby was magic even if was just at feed time!you have to remember that she had you all to her self once.im sure she would love to have that time with just you,to talk about school,friends and how shes feeling.What is your advice to help my oldest daughter deal with a new sibling?
Chris did this when he was little, he simply wanted attention and its hard to be the oldest. Let her help with the baby, and when you can take her out and spend some time with her.
Let her be the helper
i would say involve her in the baby's life, and baby her too.

What do you advice about dietary/nutritional supplements?
I'm planning to start exercising since I feel I'm gaining more weight now than when I had my baby 4 months ago. I've always have in mind of trying dietary/nutritional natural supplements but I'm scare it would bring secondary effects. What do you think of that? What is your experience?What do you advice about dietary/nutritional supplements?
Dietary supplements may not be risk-free under certain circumstances. Be sure to consult your health practitioner before purchasing or taking any supplement if you are pregnant, nursing a baby, or have a chronic medical condition such as, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease. Also, while vitamin and mineral supplements are generally considered safe for children, you may wish to check with your doctor before giving these or any other dietary supplements to your child.

Do you have advice for helping a stray cat adjust?
I need to take home for fall break a homeless cat I have been feeding outside my dorm. The problem is I already have three cats at home and I know cats do not take to one another easily. How can I help my cats accept this stranger? Also, can you train a grown cat to use the litter box? How?Do you have advice for helping a stray cat adjust?
Introduce your cats to this one slowly. First thing I ususally do is when I bring them in in the carrier is to let the other cats smell him/her and by leaving him/her in the carrier it protects them all. After a little while introduce the new cat to a ';safe room';, where he/she can be alone and get the feel for the new place. Have litter, food and water in there for him/her. Spend some time with ';new cat'; and allow ';her'; to adjust and leave her in this room. When she is calmer show her the litter box (no lid at this point), put her in it calmly and if possible take her leg to scratch in it so she has the feel of the new ';dirt';. If she potties on the floor later put it in the litter box so she can smell her smell there. Spend time with your other cats, once everyone is relaxed bring new cat in and hold her while they see and smell each other. It's your job to protect new cat.. don't let her have to defend herself or it will get quite festive later. If too much tension arrises put her back in the safe room and try again later after all is relaxed again. It may take several times before you can go to the next stage of letting her loose, yet still protect her, put her back in safe room if needed and repeat until you feel comfortable to let them all together with no supervision.
Remember your cats at home will feel a little betrayed and new cat is scared to death and you are her protector.
Good luck... oh later show new cat all the litter areas, she should catch on pretty quickly.Do you have advice for helping a stray cat adjust?
Isolate him away from the other cats for a long while, let them interact under the door, exchange blankets with each others cats, when you first introduce them supervise them and maybe put the new cat in a carrier. Usually they will go by themselves to litter box unless you have potted plants they may decide to start using that so be careful make sure the only sand around is in the litter box.
Go to http://www.spiritessence.com and look into using flower essences with all the cats. Dr. Jean Hovfe has a mixture there called ';New Beginnings'; which might be very appropriate for them all. In Dr. Hovfe's article library at http://www.littlebigcat.com she has an article titled ';Cat to Cat Introductions'; which will give you some useful guidelines about introducing the cats.
Sometimes a thin layer of dirt on top of a litterbox will get an outside cat to use it. It has the smell and texture they are used to.
Uhm try to socialize them and then when you have to go to work or where ever even if its near make sure you sepreate them for their safety. Yes you can train a cat to use it to I did it.
my freinds had the same problem but after a few weeks both of his cats got along and had little kittens. he just put one in one room and closed the door and let them smell and ';hiss'; at each other. good thing for takking in a stray because most adult cats are unwanted and put to sleep. :(
the cat will automatically go to the litter box it is their nature and it will take some time for the others to get used to the new addition but they will you just have to watch and observe their behavior so they dont fight but they will get along eventually....just takes time and patience
I just took in 2 strays and they are adjusting still after a month away from my other 2 cats. They usually use the litter box but I have to scoop everyday of more often and clean out totally twice a week. Not hard. I think the idea someone mentioned about putting some dirt in is a good idea. We have had a few accidents with just one so I am going to try that. Good luck and thanks for taking in a stray. Make sure to take it to vet or shots etc...

What is some advice for someone devastated by no longer having a girlfriend?
It's been over a month. What is some advice for someone devastated by no longer having a girlfriend?
If this person is that broken up about having a girlfriend then it seems like they really need to get more in touch with themselves. Sounds like he doesn't have enough going on in his own life so the girlfriend is everything to him. My advice to him would be to gain some activities that are more important than a girlfriend such as charity work, volunteering, go to church, sports, working out etc. But we warned that unless he finds a girl that's not into the same things she'll just complain that you dint have enough time for her or that those things are more important than her which is the whole point. But don't worry the right girl will understand, the rest are just for fun. What is some advice for someone devastated by no longer having a girlfriend?
Having a girlfriend can be an enjoyable time and a time of personal growth.
Being single can also be an enjoyable time and a time to grow in different ways.
A month is a very short time. Find joy in your life as a single person. A woman will come into your life when it is the right time.
Ha ha, not to belittle your problems, but I am so psychotic and dysfunctional that I haven't had a girlfriend in the last 8 years. Not to be nasty, but just jerk off and find something else to do with your time. I am 31 and middle aged women don't want what I have to offer. I do drugs and drink alcohol everyday. I am ready to die now.
Just chill and hang with your best mates instead. Find another girlfriend otherwise forget relationships and see what the solo world can offer you.

Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?
I've found that cheap bruhes work better than the Purdy because the roughness separates the bristles. That's why I was considering a paint sprayer because I have spent a lot on different brushes and rollers. I'm using a lot more paint trying to get coverage in all of the dimpled areas also. Would love advice on how to tackle my painting project!Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?
Get a roller with a 3/4 inch nap, or a lambs wool roller. You might still need to dab some paint in the deeper dimples, but these should do the job.Need painting advice for roughly textured walls. How do I get coverage in all the dimples, etc?

There is a foam cover that is slit about every 1/2 inch. It works great on really rough surfaces. Lowe's and Orchard Supply Warehouse have them.That would be a lot faster than a brush and better coverage than a 3/4 inch regular cover.
Lowes sells rollers to use on rough surfaces. I wouldn't use a paint sprayer, unless you're painting outside.

What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
Three weeks ago my Grandma broke her hip. After getting a pedicure and prior to a massage, beauticiantician had her put on a robe and a pair of disposable flip flops. After changing my grandma of 84 years walked out to the lobby and tripped on a misplaced floor mat (over-lapping another). My Grandma has had surgery since. She asked me for some advice on where to find a good lawyer, and also whether or not she should sue.What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
I feel really bad for your grandma that she had to have surgery. However, I think it's really mean for her to sue. I've been in the beauty industry, and most day spas are locally owned businesses. Suing could shut them down and ruin the salon-owners livelihood. This could be devastating to the salon owner, particularly if she has a family that she is supporting. The disposable flip-flops are standard after a pedicure, there's nothing negligent about that. The misplaced floor mat could have happened anywhere, including at home. I think she should sue if she truely ginuinely needs the money for the medical care, but for no more. No pain and suffering, etc.What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
I can feel what you and your grandma feels. It's a hard situation for old woman to broke her hip.
In the case of yours, perhaps you may ask free advise from pro-bono attorneys (non commercial/voluntary attorneys). There are plenty of them around the USA and they are really good. They don't even charge money for giving any law assistance to the society. Perhaps, you may take a look on the list that I just found from a very good website. Here it is %26gt;%26gt; http://criminalsattorney.info/998809-Com鈥?/a>
