Rose hung up without properly saying goodbye. It was something the sisters had dispensed with once they moved away from the house, Virginia to Cornell and Beth to… well, away. Away meant as far from stuffy old Boston as she could get. A stint abroad, several waitressing jobs which paid abysmally, a (very) brief stay in a commune, and one quite serious boyfriend with whom she had lived in an apartment which had seemed romantically Spartan at first and turned out to be just plain old small and dirty. And now, she lived in California. That was what her parents told their friends when anyone asked what Rose did for a living. “She lives in California now,” her parents would say, and everyone would exchange knowing looks. Rose didn’t care in the least, which was what distinguished her from Virginia and their two brothers. Rose was in fact happier than she’d ever been, working at a Waldorf day-care center and even occasionally seeling a painting or two. She was paying the bills with even a little to spare for luxuries like shampoo and fresh fruit.
Rose looked at the clock the floor beside her bed, did some quick math and decided to call her brother Jim in New York. His full name was James Joyce Llewellyn, and their second brother’s name was Thomas Jefferson Llewellyn. The three oldest were all named after various people the Llewellyn’s admired, and then there was Rose, the baby. Just plain old Rose. The child of her parents’ middle age and diminished brain cells. Virginia, the oldest, had always introduced herself first, and someone, thinking themselves clever, would invariably turn to Rose and say, “and I suppose you’re Georgia,” Rose usually said, no, she was New Jersey. Sometimes she was Delaware. It depended on the day.
She got up and put on a pot of coffee, as there was little chance she was going back to sleep. Virginia had awakened her, but also given her much too much to think about to sleep. She punched in Jim’s number and waited as a phone two and half thousand miles away rang.
Jim answered, groggy from sleep.
“What are you doing home?” demanded Rose as soon as he picked up, again skipping niceties.
“What?” Jim said foggily.
“I said what are you doing home? Don’t you have classes? It’s a Wednesday.”
“Thanks for the update.”
“You didn’t answer my question. You sound like ****. You sound hungover.”
“I do not. I mean I am not. I mean I am, but I don’t sound it. Whatever. It’s what, four-thirty out there? Who died?”
“Nobody, but I’ve got something to spill.”
“Well, okay. Dish.”
“Dad’s got a new girlfriend, a young one, young enough to be our sister- that’s verbatim from Ginny- and he’s bringing her to the wedding.”
“Well, good for him, the old dog. Why is this waking-someone-out-of-a-sound-... news?”
“You just don’t get it, do you?”
“Get what?”
“He’s bringing her to the wedding. To meet all of us, and mom, and all our relatives, and all of Ginny and David’s friends. He’s bringing her to the wedding, Jim.”
“Yeah. And?”
“God, you are such a man. Don’t you have any loyalty for Mom?”
“Well, I guess, but it’s not like they’re getting back together. Irreconcilable differences.”
“Yeah, but she’s like nineteen,”
“You’re exaggerating. You think that the wedding is going to be an opportunity for you to pull some kind of a Parent Trap maneuver, but trust me, it’s not. They can’t stand each other. End of story.”
“I wouldn’t care if…” Rose trailed off.
“You’d care no matter what. I’m not saying I don’t care too, but he’s fifty-seven years old. We can’t tell him what to do.”
“Why do you have to be so goddamn rational? Why can’t you just be on my side, on mom’s side?”
“I’m not on anybody’s side, I just-“
Rose dropped the phone back onto the cradle with a clatter of plastic and metal.
Jim tossed the portable phone across the bedspread and scowled fiercely at the sunlight streaming through his uncurtained windows. Stacks of books glowered at him disapprovingly from the dresser. He pushed a hand through his dark hair and pulled his Fordham sweatshirt on over his head, and shoved his glasses up over his nose. He looked at his watch, and decided there was no way he was making it to Contract Law at nine-thirty. Instead he dialed his brother Tom’s number in Boston.
Tom was having the worst morning of all the Llewellyn siblings. He’d awoken to find the half of the bed which belonging to his girlfriend Claire cool and unrumpled. Alarmed, he’d run to the bathroom to find that her toothbrush was gone, and linen closet emptied of exactly half their towels. She’d taken the coffee, the peanut butter, two apples, a banana, the Saltines, and half the loaf of bread.. She’d been nothing if not democratic in the way she’d wrecked everything, thought Tom as he absorbed the state of the apartment which they’d shared until four-thirty six that morning. And so Tom was sitting dazedly at the kitchen table, staring at nothing in a particular, when the phone rang
“Guess what?” demanded Jim
Tom sighed.
“What?”
“Dad’s having a full-out, clichéd midlife crisis, complete with a nubile Playmate, who is reportedly young enough to be our sister, ”
“Well, that’s just Fantastic, isn’t it.”
“You’re sunny this morning. What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. Everything is perfect.”
“How’s your lovely, leggy graduate student doing?”
“Claire is fine. Claire is perfect.”
“Okay. If you say so. I hear that Dad’s bringing this new girl to the wedding, and believe me, Virginia and Rose are about ready to-“
“Look, I really have to go. I’m about an hour late,”
“Well, so am I,”
“Well, at least I’m not paying forty-five thousand a year to get drunk and over sleep.”
“Don’t be so-“
“So what? Responsible?”
“So uptight. So, anyway, I was wondering if maybe I could have your plus-one for the wedding. I’ve been seeing this girl for a couple months now, and I was just thinking that since-“
“No, Jim, I—“
He was going to say “I need it,” and remembered that he didn’t, not anymore. Instead, he hung up and got dressed for work.
It is easy to forget, when one is upset, that other people cannot intuit your every thought, nor see the elephant which is occupying your headspace. And so it wasn’t until he was pulling out of the tight parking spot which he’d fought tooth and nail for that Tom realized he hadn’t said a word to his brother about what had happened with Claire
Please Read this, and tell me what you think??
I went back and read the first paragraph you submitted, but there were still a couple of wholes. The first: who are dot and beth?
The second: If it's 430 in California, why would it be too late (except for sheer laziness) for Jim to get to a class in 2 hours.
The third: If dad is 57 and Melinda is 36, he is old enough to be father (earlier you said not old enough)
Basically, watch for continuity errors. Try to tighten some of the information. The ages for the children also seem to be a little off.
Reply:well one thing that i noticed is that you dont use the rule where you put two spaces after a period
good luck! :)
Reply:Shorter paragraphs, dialogue intermixed with background on characters as the story unfolds, and how what the background on the characters relates to the dialogue.
Reply:it is very good althought i havent read the begining.
it is ok that you give the characters sonething the readers can imagine and create them. and i thing that have a great spirit in them but somehow u mix it up. first u give total view on them and then you hide their feelings.
its like you want to show them but you dont. thats interesting and quite new. havet heard of a writer doing that. it may pass the readers.
globaly it is great. u should publish it ! can u send me the first part on my email merry.fiser@yahoo.com to read it. i promce i will wirte u back with an opinion ! thanks ! and good luck !
Reply:If you want as blunt non-complementary answer I will say that I did not like the way you switched settings abruptly from the sister’s location to the brother’s location and also it “seemed” like you trying to show the setting and surroundings of the characters to much. I could not really feel any emotional content.

Question about insurance claim that is untrue?
Someone claimed that a freind of mine hit their car and drove away. however, she was not in the car that day, and has witnesses to prove it! Her insurance company said that the other driver of the car had plently of evidence (description and number plate!). We think that they saw her car the next day and took down her number plate thinking it was the same style as the one that hit them. Her insurance company sent her a letter saying that they were going to pay out! She is obviously arguing this tooth and nail, as she has 5 years no claim. Have any of you had similar experiences or any advice?
She has asked her insurears to send someone out to check her car, as it has no damage at all.
Question about insurance claim that is untrue?
Tell her to contact the Insurance Ombudsman and also to send a letter to her insurers stating that she is in no way responsible , that she is contacting the Insurance Ombudsman with her complaint and that she does not want them to settle the claim - tell her to keep copy of the letter and send this with complaint to the Insurance Ombudsman along with witnessed statements that to say she was not driving her car that day - she could also go to the Citizens Advice as they may be able to help as well - she could also go to a Solicitor who gives advice free for an initial interview - good luck
Reply:tell her to contact the police as it is obviously fraud and let them deal with it!
Reply:Go to the police and report a criminal offence of fraud, it will be sorted out quickly!
Reply:Since she would suffer a financial loss if the insurance company paid out, she has the option of complaining to the Financial Ombudsman (but she'll have to join a long queue).
Reply:For the insurance company it may be cheaper to pay the black mail rather than fight it. She can sue her insurance co if they raise her rate -- expensive, tough to prove. If my insurance co did this when the policy was up for renewal I would find another insurer.
Reply:was this witness so called ,witnessed this incedent have any other info eg photo's or any other evidence...
does your friend pass any cctv systems or cameras that reconise her or her car or car park systems that will back up her claim,
this will help to clear her name as this other person is acting fraudulant......
and i would take her to civil court if you can!!!!!
if she hit this other car would her car NOT be Damaged!!!!
Reply:I agree with the others here. Tell the police that someone is committing fraud. However, your friend should NOT tell the police that it is she being defrauded because if she does they will do nothing of any consequence. If she tells them that it is the insurance company that will be the victim, which is the truth, she'll find that they won't be able to move fast enough or get enough volunteers to score some smartie points.
Sorry, but I have a dim view of the police, based on bitter experience of dealing with the Hampshire Constabulary, when it comes to them being asked to assist private individuals.

Cotillian?
When i was young, my mother enrolled me in cotillian, so that i could live up to our socialite name. I fought tooth and nail agianst it, and even boycotted the dress code for my coming out party. Now that i am a parent, my mother has offered her opinoin that i should enroll her in cotillian. I am not sure if i want that life for her, but should i let her decide? or should i just force her to do it like my mother did?
Cotillian?
Just have a frank conversation with your daughter. Explain what cotillion is and what you do in it. Try not to inject your own negative opinions of it, otherwise your daughter may come back one day and say, "You made me say no when I really did want to try it." And then ask her if she's interested. Chances are she'll say no -- cotillion was already on its way out when I was in middle school and high school in the 90s. Then you can just tell your mom that while you appreciate her opinion, your daughter isn't interested, and you'd rather her invest her time in something she DOES like to do.
If your daughter does say yes, there are some great things to be learned in cotillion that apply to real life. My best friend did it, and she picked up a lot of etiquette rules that continue to be useful for her in business situations.
Reply:Let her decide. Why have a battle with your daughter over something so inconsequential to real life?
Reply:Would you have appreciated the chance to make your own decision, probably, and she probably would to.
Reply:You have to let her decide she will respect you much more if you let her have a say.
Reply:ok. I was like that too. When I was in middle school my parents made me do the SAME THING. and I HATED IT. BUT in the end...I sit up straight (great posture) i shake hands the way they are supposed to be shook. I have excellent table manners. blah blah blah...and you know what...it stuck! I look around and hardly ANYONE has any manners anymore! they slump over...give cold, dead fish handshakes and hunch over their plate to shovel in the food! these are just some of the things I have witnessed. I think even if your daughter thinks its outrageous and stupid...think in the long run. Seriously, we NEED more mannerly people in this world.
and another thing, being in cotillian really helps to land a great job.

Are we coming to an end?
I met my now b/f April of last year and we got together last June. At that time i was coming out of an 8 year marriage with 3 kids. It was like love at first sight I had never felt anything like I felt for him before, not even with my husband. It seems now though things are fading. I feel inside that maybe I jumped in too soon. He comes with alot of baggage I thouht I could put up with but I don't think I can. My heart and head tells me to break it off and just focus on my children. He knows how I feel and is fighting it tooth and nail. He thinks we can stay together and everything will just smooth itself out. But i think i need to be alone. Idk what to do. He is a good guy who would do anything for me but, I am just confused as to why i started having all these feelings at once. It seemed like 2 months ago we were fine....
Are we coming to an end?
Ask him for some space to think. See if you can "take a break" for a week or a month, lots of people do this, my mom is a single mom with 2 boys and she did the same thing.
Reply:relationships are crazy. as you know. you just have to follow how you feel. yea i know that is easier said then done. my kids alwas come 1st b4 anyone else. i would say. give it some time n if your feelings dnt change then maybe take a break for awhile. that always help
Reply:if someone loves each other and if they aint staying together they get tired of not seeing each other they get tired of waiting even for seconds ... and at the next moment they meet they start to make trouble and fight or blame each other cuz they love each other but cuz they are so tired of waiting so he maybe right it will be ok if u two stay together .
by the way make sure he really loves ur kids ... make sure he will do anything for em as for u or else dont even bother about putting those childrens lives in dangeour by marrying him ... so make sure he is 100 % true if he is then its ok ...
Reply:take a break to sort out your life.. if in a month your still thinking about him, give him a call
Reply:It's always good to do what's best for you especially when there's kids involved. Right now the kids come first and everything else sencond. If this relationship is not doing it for you, then you need to take a break cause if you're not happy the kids will see that and for some reason kids always seems to pick their parents moment of unhappiness to rebel against them. Take the time to figure out what you want and what's best for you and the kids. make sure you really think about it.
Reply:maybe just take a lttle time out

Lady's am i a normal guy?
So i never really thought about this but, you know what the stereo typical guy is right? The lowed mouth, garbing his groin, garbing a girls butt, macho moron. Well i always thought that is not how most guys are, but my question is am i a normal guy? I will give you a description of my self based off of what people have said about me; I seem to find the right thing to say (my girl was called an alien and i told her “it makes sense, your out of this world and you up ducted my hart”) I don't cry all the time but if i need to i will, i will fight tooth and nail to protect the ones i care about, I am kinda soft spoken but not shy, and i can make almost anyone laugh (maybe not hard but they laugh) so am i normal or do i just think it?

Reply:What is normal? In my opinion there should be no "stereo-typical guy" be who YOU are, I know I love that more than any douche trying to pretend to be something he's not. And if someone says you're not normal, I want you to look them right in the eye, stick up your middle finger, and say "**** YOU!" My favorite quote, curtosy of Gerard Way. But seriously, if you find someone who loves you for who you are "normal" or not. Then you know you're alright. Ok? Lots of luck!

Why should there be Saffron colour in our National flag?
Both ruling as well as opposition parties hate the Saffron colour and Saffron Brigade tooth and nail. How come they have not thought of changing the Saffron colour in our National flag. It can be replaced by some pleasing colour of Italy or Russia. (We can tolerate a hardcore communist to be the Speaker and even as a VP but Saffron discipline cannot be tolerated, isn't it?)

It is extremely difficult to push through the same, in view of possible backlash by the people who would be united on this cause, (though they are compacent to the pinpricks of the self-beatified 'progressives' in normal times). It would be a political suicide for these politicians, since it is easier to manage closed door chambers containing few hundred members than the millions and millions of emotionally charged populace.

It would be a political suicide for these politicians, since it is easier to manage closed door chambers containing few hundred members than the millions and millions of emotionally charged populace.

How many of you brides have been screwed over?
during wedding planning.. what advice would you give to other brides.
I meet with over 20 jps when i finally found one i liked.he was nice. both my fiance and i felt comfortable with him. i gave him a $200 deposit in cash. with the promise that he wold email me the contract. He never did email me a contract. he took forever answering my emails. and everytime he said he was going to email something he was having problems with his computer.when i tried getting my deposit back he fought me tooth and nail.. finally he agreed to give me half of it back. m advice.. never just hand over money without having a written and SIGNED by both parties in your hand.. also always pay by cash. and if the say they want it in cash tell them sorry you do everything b check. and people are really too good to be true

Yes I have been! I had a photographer that did awful work, we gave her a deposit without a contract...however we cancelled the check and did the 'right thing' by turning around and paying her half of the deposit as the engagement photo sitting fee that was supposed to be free....she proceeded to call my fiance and I fat..i was the cow and he was the whale...and she said she wanted to take my fiance to court for sexual assault...im like wtf...poor guy was so upset because he was with me the ENTIRE time, we walked in front of her...she was a B***** and we went to the police about her. She threatened to F*** us up!
We finally found a new photographer and she's so much better
look at ALL their work, make sure alot of have un-enhanced, you don't want to have someone and find out everythings been enhanced or altered because they're covering up for their own mistakes.
Reply:Ouch, so you got burned like that....but really good advice. There is always someone who will try to gain money and power by anyway possible especailly in trajic or blissful moments. by the way, Congrats on getting engaged. :)
Reply:I am sorry to hear about all that! I had a similar situation with a photographer we hired. She seemed professional and did nice work, but was just starting out. She kept trying to pressure us to pay her sooner, but I told her I would not give any type of deposit until we had a contract. She never did send that contract (OR our engagement pictures!) so we let her go. Happily! We decided to go with someone more experienced, and things are going much better now. Never let a vendor pressure you! THEY are working for YOU and a certain level of professionalism should be expected.
Good luck with everything, I'm sure your wedding will be gorgeous!
Reply:Never had anything like that happen but good advice to keep in mind for my future wedding whenever it gets here, ya know? I'm sorry that you had to learn the hard way but it's better to have eyes wide open for the future than not.

All of the vendors that we dealt with were by recommendation only. They were all upstanding businesses and did amazing work.
Reply:my florist screwed me over and I flipped out on her and went somewhere else
Reply:I did get a bad vibe from one catering hall so I stayed away. I felt like I was talking to a used car salesman and I just got a funny feeling. He offered me a drink and I felt like I would have a bill for it when I left. I didn't of course but I went with my instincts and went somewhere else.
The problem I did run into was the church of all places. They wouldn't tell me what days they had available so I could go to a catering hall and say okay - I can do the wedding on these 4 days - what do you have available. They gave me such a runaround that I went to another church (my church the bad one was my husbands) I figured if they were giving me such a hard time on just getting a day what would they do after that and on the day of the wedding.
Reply:No, we weren't. We were careful. One just never pays for services until they are received.
