I’ve tried lasvegas.craigslist.com, which my dad listed as the cheapest source, but I couldn’t find any. Right now we’re trying to find one that someone is willing to give away for free or for a small re-homing fee (a couple hundred dollars, tops)… First of all, are there any Las Vegas people here that may be interested? I doubt it, lol. But do you know any sites where I could look to find cheap birds other than Craigslist?
I know the costs of keeping a bird. Why the hell do you think I want the BIRD for cheap? It’s not my fault. My dad is the one who wants to pay a couple hundred bucks for the bird itself. Keep your rants to yourself and give me answers that will actually educate me in some way.

on my mom’s side of the family, i am the youngest..all of my cousins are married and have their own kids..the depressing thing is i never had the chance to attend any of their marriages..my parents have been divorced since 1997. after since i graduated from high school, all i year from my mom when i have vacation is "go to your dad’s..no one cares about you..that is all i hear..when my dad wants me to go visit, my mom forces me to go, but when my family in india wants me to visit, i cant go..it was depressing because i got my licence in july 2007 then in june 2008, my cousin from india came to visit me for a week with his wife and 2 sons since i went to visit him in new york when he came by himself and didnt get time to visit me then in july 2008 my aunt and uncle came to visit me for a month. i am over the age of 28 and this is how my mom treats me. my mom’s brother-in-law told her not to force me to visit my dad if i didnt want to go and my mom’s reply was "i dont force her" then suddenly for new years, she forced me to fly to las vegas to spend time with my dad for three days and i had a miserable time. none of my family members or friends want to talk to me because i always make up excuses i am busy when i am really not. i am busy going to visit my dad and then suddenly they stop talking to me and my mom doesnt realize that. the economy is bad and my mom is after me to look for a part time job but cant find one. no one is hiring and a lot of places are going out of business and plus as a college stduent, i am facing budget cuts. the way my life is really making me lose focus on my driving, my career, and so forth. i dont know what to do. i need a life of my own. my dad’s friend’s son is getting married and i dont want to go. i will be in school and probably i will have exams and midterms to study for and my dad’s friend and my dad are forcing me to go. so is my mom. someone please tell me what to do. i am very much fed-up. my dad taught me that he had a party and his friend came and now that their son is getting married, i have to go. my mom threw me a grad party after i finished high school. two of my mom’s friends came from sd. then they had a party and my mom didnt let me go then my mom threw me a birthday party and they didnt come. my mom doesnt teach me any family or common sense values. what should i do? all i hear is "go to your dad’s and no one cares about you.
i’m losing focus concentrating on becoming a medical assistant..cant do that by the way my life is..no one will understand what i am going through

Ok my ex husband is moving to Las vegas in July and wants to take our 13 year old dal with him. She has horrible seperation anxiety and we are sharing custody of her right now. She also has a heart murmur and I am worried that the drive and move from home (Missouri) to las vegas will kill her. i am terribly worried and I would like your all’s opinion to either help me convince him that she shouldn’t go or help me feel better about it if she does move all that way. Thanks!
thanks for your quick responses. Also wanted to add, I have talked to her dad and he insists on taking her, bc he wants to move on…so he says. Also, I spoke with her cardiologist and he said that he though he wasn’t a great idea he couldn’t say that she shouldn’t go bc he would feel awful if he said that and then she had a heart attack here at home…. not sure what to do….
I am not sure how to respond so I will just add this here. Legallye our dog is his, he has had her since birth however I hav had her for the past 10 years so she is very much mine. I don’t think that a judge will let me have her but I feel like I have been the one to take care of her since I have been around for the past 10 years. Also, he is in law enforcement and will be working a min of a 10 hour day and I don’t think that that will be good on her either. Sorry, just wanted ot add that! Thank you all so much for your support!!! I want her to live a long happy healthy life!

so my family has always been dysfunctional but as sibling we hav always stuck together. I’m the oldest of two younger brothers, and we grew up pretty close but the youngest was always closer to me. my mom wasn’t in the picture and i was like their mother. so on mothers day my younger brother jorge was making me mothers day cards. well…..now he’s seventeen and we’re all grown up. so he was having trouble at home with my dad he decided to runaway to my family we have in san Francisco( we live in Las vegas). so he was there for about a year and and i would stay in contact with him. So when i moved out with my boyfriend we have an extra room that we wanted to rent out and thought it would be a good idea to help my brother by having him move in with us and just pay 0 worth of rent. He has him own entrance with him own bathroom and his room is right next to the kitchen. We live in a two story condo so the downstairs is pretty much all his. Well the deal was if he finished his high school in San Francisco was going to drive out to pick him up and after that he would have a month to get a job and start paying rent. His rent includes utilities food, shelter etc keep in mind for just 0 a month. Well he called me one day all of a sudden and said he didn’t want to be in San fran. any more and he wanted to get picked up in Los Angeles. so i told him we would be there by that weekend . My boyfriend and I took off after him on a shorts notice, brought him with us and explained the rules to him again. He doesn’t turn 18 until June so he is still a minor. Well the very next day he was here my ipod went missing. It never crossed my mind that it could be jorge, i thought i may have dropped it somewhere and i was really bummed out. So after the second day he said he was going out with my other brother and would be back later that night. He didn’t come back until a week later. I asked him if hes even looked for work and he replied, " well its my first week home and i just wanted to hang out a bit with my friends." I was a bit disappointed but said okay by monday I want you to start looking for a job. well yesterday he was home all and the minute his friend called he left. This morning I asked him if he was going to look for work and replied, " well its dad’s day off today and i wouldn’t want to run into him on the street or something." but then his friend called again and he showered and took off… well wtf. Then to make matters worse my brother called me and said are you alone? I was like yeah whats up? he starts to tell me, " well the other night I went out with jorge we went to a party and I got pretty drunk and passed out on my friends couch, and I had my ipod on me." "the next day i woke up and my ipod was missing, it was in my pocket the whole time and i wasn’t so drunk that i don’t remember what happened that night and my friend lori that lives there also had her ipod missing and all of a sudden jorge had money." he asked he," have you been giving jorge money?" I said no not at all. Well the day that my ipod went missing I had only been to my mother in laws house and then i was home all day i looked for it every where but it still hasn’t came out any where. My stuff have never gone missing. So now that i think of it Jorge was the only other person that was there when my ipod went missing too besides my boyfriend but he bought me the ipod. And my other brother said that when he passed out on his friends couch only Jorge and lori where there. So what should I do? He hasn’t made an effort to get a job and all of a sudden things are beginning to go missing in my house? should i kick him out? but if i kick him out where will he go after all he is only 17. please give me advise on what you think I should handle this situation.

Life really sucks for me right now! I feel as if I’m the only person who has to deal with these problems!

Ok I’ll start from the beginning: My dad used to work at home, but he and my mom kept fighting, and eventually, we figured out the problem. They fight out of boredom, so my dad wanted to get a new job. He wanted to work outside of the house. But since the economy is messed up, he had to get all the way in las vegas, which is FAR from where we live. I only get to see him on some weekends, it’s like my parents are divorced. Ok that problem sort of got solved. It sucks now, cuz he’s soooo far away from us. I’m on a visit to see him right now, but here are some problems. He has no cable, my mom and I are clueless about this city, and we are bored! My mom really wants to buy some fruits, cuz my dad is sleeping, so we can’t. She doesn’t know where to drive. So she talked to me. I come from india, and she said that we have a lot of problems in our current life. We live in CA right now, but she stated many problems that we faced:

1. My greencard has been delayed for over 2 years now, so I can’t travel anywhere (except india)
2. My brother can’t transfer to a good college, and he can’t get a job
3. Already mentioned my dad lives far away
4. My parents keep fighting
5. I don’t know my own language (I’m embarrassed), so It’ll be tough going back to india
6. My grandparents are all alone in india, struggling to survive.

My mom says the best solution is to this is to move back to india. I don’t have a problem with it, but it’s a lot of change, and…that sucks.

I just wish we didn’t have to do this! Why can’t I be happy like everyone else? Do I deserve this? Is this my fate? Someone please help me!!!!!!!
Alright, I was born in India, okay. I know what it’s like there, and I love it there, so snot nosed kid, I’m going to have to disagree with you. I love that country, but I love america too! Besides, I hate it here in vegas. I’m only thirteen years old, and the only thing that appeals to me are the bright lights!

Also, my dad doesn’t work two jobs, and he does not work at the gas station
Also, my grandparents who I previously mentioned are on my dad’s side of the family, my mom just wants to stay with them, becuz she thinks that’s the best solution to make everyone happy
I’m hindu, BTW…..so I can’t really go for the prayers… besides, I’ve asked god a billion times to help me out, and he hasn’t done a thing for me. I’m starting to lose my faith, but I’m giving him one last chance.

I already asked once (this is my last I promise), I just need more opinions.

I am planning to go there for college. My dad is buying a condo there this summer and I am planning to live in that condo when I turn 18. I am currently living in Las Vegas and I just hate every inch of it. There is nothing to do here but gamble. I grew up in Hawaii but I never really got to go anywhere but the beaches. I just really love it there and I miss it, like I cannot even explain how much I miss it.

So my plan was that when I graduate and move out of my parents place, I am going to go live in the condo. I would wait about a year to start college. During that one year I am going to work in my Uncle’s company. I am going to save most of that money in a savings account so when I start college, I won’t have to work more than 1 job. This condo is pretty nice and I won’t have to worry about paying for college because my dad is paying for everything. Transportation is also covered because my dad agreed to buy me a car there. All I need to worry about then is everyday neccessecities like food, clothes, electricity bill, etc.

So yeah that is basically my plan. My dad told me that it is really hard to find a job there and that I will be barely getting by. Is that really true? I will have shelter that is all payed for, a car, and a decent paying job. (my uncle owns a construction company if that helps) I have relatives there anyways. So is my plan a bit exaggerated or do you think its doable?

for sexual assault when i was 15 (2 counts)

use to have consensual sex with him but he broke it off and one day i went to his workplace and waited for him to unlock his car( i was hiding) and got in eventually his g/f found out when they were about to go gamble and he knew i was in his car and she saw my purse and found out i was there they got out and went inside their apt..and argued.(i was in the car till 3am till 5:30pm) and she came out and i let her beat me (i was in my cycle and planning to press charges) and we went to their apt so i could tell her the whole story and eventually the cop came and he took me home and i ran away because my dad knows these ppl and they let him know about me hooking up with his friend so i took the city bus to my old apt. complex( which in still had the keys to the fitness room and i spent the hours there sleeping) then i noticed light flashing at me and realized it was the cops and i walked towards them and they asked if i was who i was and i said yes and they told me the 47 yr. old called them and told me about my whereabouts and i suicidal. so the paramedics took me to the hospital and the next day i ended up in a acute treatment for youths and i was interviewed by metro (written report) and it took them the day i left treatment to get any new info so the detective basically told me on the phone that he could spent 20 yrs in person, that i had to testify and i’m the only one who can press the charges but i wont meet up til next sat.

SO MY QUESTION IS WILL HE REALLY GOING TO SPENT 20 YRS BEHIND BARS? (i live in las vegas,nv ,btw)

and that’s not the only thing he did he provided me with alcohol, had sex with me at 15, sexually assaulted me but i never did anything because he was the only person i had and i was scared, took me to the hotel when i was 15 a couple of times, solicitation before having consensual sex with him, and i dont know

I AM NO LONGER "IN LOVE" WITH HIM I’M DOING THIS BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT MY ADULT LIFE
in prison*
and oh yh sexual activities (no intercourse when i was 15)

the age of consent in nevada is 16 so the sex we had when i was 16 will be dropped

his g/f called my home phone an hr and a half ago because he left his clothes here and i told her about me pressing charges and such but my brother hanged up the phone
b**** he really did raped me when i was 15

yes i’m hurt but that’s not my only resaon why i’m doing this and like i said i have no feelings for him

I WILL START SEEING A THERAPIST ON TUESDAY BUT CONSIDERING THAT SHE IS A DETECTIVE AND SHE’S TELLING ME HE WILL SPENT 20 YEARS IN PRISON, IS THAT ACCURATE?
I CANT DROP THESE CHARGES BECAUSE I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED WHAT DONT YOU FREAKING UNDERSTAND!!!!
