Have A Home Base With A Vacation Rental Or Holiday Home

Open Question: Could you check my texts in English, please?

PET HATES It drives me up the wall when people criticize politicians and the government but they don´t vote in the elections. Personally, I think people had better vote in elections. It should be a right and a duty because voting you can choose politicians that would represent you. In my opinion, if people don´t vote, they should accept the consequences. If everyone did the same, I mean, not to vote, who would be our politicians? If only everyone would vote in elections. Last elections I couldn´t vote because I was sick but if I had known that the abstention would be so high, I´m sure, I would have voted. If drives me mad when I´m queuing for a train ticket or at the supermarket and a person tries to jump the queu. If someone is in a hurry and politely, he ask me for permission to buy something, I don´t mind giving my turn it. It really annoys me people who has cheek. It really gets on my nerves when I´m in a musical, cinema or theather and anyone sitting in front of or behind me don´t to talk. It happened to me when I was at the Michael Jackson´s Musical. There were two girls who was commenting songs, videos, custome and so on. I told them politely to shut up but then refused to do it. Ten minutes later, I gave their for warming, and I told them that if they didn´t shut I would call the reviewer. Finally, they admitted doing it but if they had continued talking, i´m sure I would have called the reviewer. PRAGUE If I had to recommend a city, without a doubt, it would be Prague. Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions such as Prague Castle, The Charles Bridge, Old Time Square and The Jewish Quarter, although don´t bother seeing cemetery Jewish because it´s really expensive to get in. I would certainly recommend taking a boat along the Vltava´s River. You´ll feel absolutely astonished doing it. Also, it´s definitely worth seeing the black´s theatre. I saw Alice in the wonderful country. I felt absolutely delighted. My hotel, The Movenpick, was in a suburb, ten minutes by travel car from the old town. It was spotless, the room was outstanding and had all the usual facilities. You might find a hotel with a good value for money. You´d better taste Czech´s food .The food is full of flavor, not only is there a lot of interesting meat, but there also are a delicious dessert. One of the cheaper places to eat is Old town restaurant, near the Jewish Quarter. This restaurant is well known for its variety of meats although it was surprisingly empty. I would certainly recommend eating reindeer or elk, but don´t bother tasting horse meat, it´s a bit tough. Despite being Prague one of my favorites European cities, there are some negatives aspects too. In summer, not only is the city unpleasantly crowed but there also are many pickpockets, so, you´d better take sure you money. I only was two days, but if I had known how wonderful the city was, I would have stayed two days later. I wish I come back some day. I´m sure I´ll do it. WISHES AND REGRETS My family If only i´d been able to know my father better. He died from liver cancer when a was nineteen, and since then I´d discovered that he must have been a fascinating person although sometimes he was as a cold fish and there are so many things I would love to have been able to talk to him about. He was an engineer but he loved politic and he knew all sorts of interesting people at the time, journalist, writers, singers, people like that. He was really shy and he spent too much time working and writing. Now, I´m discovering all about him through reading his old letters, articles and paper but if only he had lived longer so that I could have talked to him about those face-to-face. Education, work One of my biggest regret is how I spent my time after university. I studied Biology and after that I studied another degree. After studying biology, I should have studied public exams to be a civil servant, so in the end I did it, but I really wish I had done before because if I had done it before, I would have passed public exam before, and now, I would be working nearer from home. Currently, I work very far from my home, so I spend a lot of time commuting and it´s very tiring. Lifestyle I regret sunbathing when I was younger. I used to look at myself and think I thought that looked as if I was sick because I have got really pale skin, but I might have realized how gorgeous I was then. But in the past we were used to sunbathing a lot. I looked great but I didn´t appreciate it. What a waste! My mother always told me that I shouldn´t sunbath so much, and I insist on doing. I wish I hadn´t sunbathed so much, if fact if I hadn´t sunbathed so mucho I would have had so much wrinkles.

Open Question: How to get help for pets when I commit suicide?

So tonight I have decided to commit suicide. All I have ever wanted is someone to love me. My boyfriend left me a few weeks ago. Story of my life. I feel lost, lonely and empty. Everyone I have ever loved has ended up leaving me. I cant take it anymore finding someone is hopeless. So I plan on checking into a hotel somewhere out of town and overdosing. The only thing that worries me is my beloved dog and cat. I dont want them sitting alone in my house for a few days until my body is discovered. I cant tell anybody either cuz they will try to stop me. I dont want to be stopped this is it. How can I get them taken care of?

Open Question: Im not wanted because im black?

I am a 42 year old black man who was previously married. My marriage went a bit stale, and during the last few years of my marriage, I got talking to this lady whom I knew of, but did not know her personally. Things developed, and we ended up having a full-on relationship. I moved out of my marital home. I must add that I was legally separated from my wife at the point when I went into a full-on relationship with my new partner and so at no point was I ever with both of them. I had moved out of the marital home as I have mentioned before. My mind was made up that I was to get formally divorced from my wife, and my new partner kept pushing me to get divorced, as she assured me that as soon as I do, we will have plans for marriage. It took me 2 years to convince myself to get divorced, but eventually I did. I had no idea how things were to develop, as all seemed well with her and her desire to get married to me once I was divorced.. Now, for the bit that I need help on. My girlfriend is of Italian origin, and basically, her family are refusing to accept me because im black. For the last 5 years, I have been hidden away from family functions, her family and other relatives. I am not welcome in her family home either. In certain parts where she lives, she hides in the car when we drive together just in case a member of her community see us, as she tells me this would be an embarrassment her parents, this is her reason for this behavior. We argue about this as I find it demeaning and absurd. Only her close circle of friends know about us. Her mother in particular refuses to have me round, or will not talk to me. I have tried to be civil by sending flowers for birthdays etc etc, but this has been to no avail. Her parents are aware of us, but they just refuse to recognize this relationship, even though their daughter constantly tells them how happy she is with me. They have said to their daughter who is 38 years old by the way that until she decides to marry me, she is to keep me well away from them and the family. But yet, they are not extending their hand to welcome me in. I honestly believe that even if she was to decide that she will marry me, they will still have an issue as it appears that they are simply embarrassed at their daughter being with someone black. We spend a lot of our time together when we can, but as her parents live in Italy, she also has to go visiting them every few months, for which I am not allowed to go. I have been to Italy twice, but I was kept well away from her family, and as she is from a small village, we could not be seen together out there. I spent the entire time hidden away in a hotel well away from anyone else, and she would come and see me when she could. My girlfriend just cant seem to commit properly or decide what she wants to do, and I am very tired of the hiding, not after 5 years. I love her, and have tolerated a lot, but how much more should I tolerate?. She is stuck in the middle of this, as her family means a lot to her. I can see clearly that she is trying to find the courage to sort this out, but her parents make her feel soo ashamed of herself every time my name comes up. On a personal level, we get on extremely well, our souls are matched, and we share many common interests. There are no issues with compatibility at all. She has had to put up with a lot from her parents since they discovered she is with me. I cant imagine myself apart from her, and she tells me the same, but yet, she cant seem to move forward with this. I just want as normal a situation as can be. What does anyone advise ?...HELP

Open Question: Renter's Rights when it comes to a beehive being removed from your apartment?

It was discovered that there was a massive beehive INSIDE the wall in our living room. Our landlord came the next day and he and a beekeeper broke open the wall and there were THOUSANDS of bees. First off, they didn't tell me they were going to crack open the wall and just told me to simply take anything I may need over the next couple days out of the room. So I took our laptop, checkbook, etc. That night I come home and me and my husband peak into the living room and I kid you not, covered from floor to ceiling in bees! Literally looked like something out of a horror movie. Not one piece of our furniture had been covered or moved or anything. In addition to the bees covering everything, there's also a layer of dirt, dust and honey on my couch, the rug, everything. This was on a Saturday night. My landlord assured me everything would be cleaned by Monday. It's now Tuesday and there are still bees and the cleaning hasn't even started. My landlord also assures me that they will replace anything that they are unable to restore to perfect condition. What I'd like to know is if I have the right to a discount on next month's rent for enduring this nightmare. I have a 4 month old baby and am a stay at home Mom and have had to hide out in my bedroom for the last 3 days and will probably have to continue to do so for the next 3-4 days. I know it's not his fault that the bees came but as the LL he is responsible for this being a livable structure and that is what I'm paying for. Shouldn't I be credited a pro-rate for the days that the bees have put us out? Not to mention how terrifying it is that the bees would escape into the rest of the house. We were not offered a hotel room during this ordeal and could not afford to pay for one out of our own pocket. Would love some advice on this. The LL's are very nice but I think there should be some exchange for us having to live through this nightmare. Not quite sure how you suggest I help remove a massive beehive when I have no experience and have a 4 month old baby to watch? I'm not busting anybody's balls here but there's been no consideration for the safety of my child, zero consideration for preserving my possessions some of which can't exactly be replaced. I'm waiting for everything to play out before I make any demands but I've been extremely patient and pleasant through this. I just want to know my rights once all the cards fall.

Resolved Question: A Question about record labels...?

Ok, I've been writing songs for about 2 years now, but only recently been adding music to the songs I write because I've been playing guitar now for a while. But I'm wondering, do you have to play live shows to "get discovered"? Because i live in a pretty small town I guess. Well it's not that small, but it's small. And we don't have that many places for 18 year olds to perform. I mean there's a college bar... where they do karaoke until like 2am.. but I mean. I really don't want to be in a bar filled with drunk college guys who might boo me the whole time... (JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE DRUNK AND HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO) And all I want to be is a musician, and I think I'm good for a beginner because I've played for my teacher, and he likes my songs and my guitar playing and so does my mom and dad. But I want to play for more people. And I'm wondering would it be a good idea to take him a long with me, just to play another guitar so that way I'm not on stage for the first time by myself? We also have a hotel that I could maybe play at.. and my guitar teacher does "recitals/talent shows" sometimes. But for record labels. Would it be better to move to Nashville, or Los Angeles? I'm a little confused on the whole record thing, because I may have about 3 good songs. And I guess you could say i write "real music". Because I write what I know and what's happening in my life. I just wrote a song about my friends graduating called "Only Begun". And then I wrote another song today called "Shot in the Dark" about a guy I've liked for a while.. and I'm not mentioning the third one.. lolz. But I think those songs are the most "commercial" songs I've written. Also how long should songs on a demo be? Should they be the full songs, or like 1:30? Like a verse and a chorus or something? Or the full song? I'm so confused on how to get myself "out their". Also i really want to do my county fairs talent show this year too. And I'm planning on singing "Bad Romance" along with me playing the guitar :) Do you think I'd have a shot at winning if I played my guitar too? Sorry for so many questions, but I want to know everything about everything I need to do to get better. thanks!

Voting Question: How do you sanitize items after black mold exposure?

I have been staying in an extended stay hotel for the last 9 months. Recently, we discovered black mold in the room. Management is giving me a different room to move into. How do I sanitize my belongings prior to changing rooms? I do not want carry over any black mold spores when I move.
