Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray (2009)

IMDB rating: 6.80

Plot: Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs.

which is your favorite book?
im a freshmen, i need help choosing a book to read for class, nothing too long or short, prefferably the least boring possible

I have charlie and the chocolate factory, charolette’s web, twilight, narnia, hoot, holes, picture or dorian gray, i am legend, because of win-dixie, and bridge to terabithia

Which would you choose and what would you suggest for me?
why cant anyone ever recommend a good book, all i get is BS
Rilynn, i said im not buying new books, and i wont read anything dull.

Last time i checked, the narnia series, twilight series, and i am legend were all 200 to 500 pages, i think thats more advanced than 5th grade level

Dorian Gray is a classic from the 19th century, but its a good classic

And most of these books are pretty old best sellers
EXCUSE ME BITCH!

Im not a fucking moron, i just hate books and i dont want to waste money on another book. i am capable of reading and comprehending, i just hate reading, and i prefer books no longer than 200 to 400 pages just because its easier for me to actually stay interested when a book isnt too dulk or too long

this is the kind of BS im talking about. maybe a bitch like you can learn to COMPREHEND what i mean by suggesting a book for me based on books i have or something similar. AND IF YOU CAN READ ENGLISH, YOU WOULD HAVE SAVED THE BULLSHIT


Out of those books, I would say Twilight. But let me give you some suggestions of books that I’ve read & LOVED. I’m a sophomore.

The Pact- Jodi Picoult It’s in the adult section but it’s SO SO SO good. It’s about a teenage boy that is accused of murdering his girlfriend that he was deeply in love with. It goes through a trial and it keeps you interested. It is soo good!

My Sister’s Keeper- Jodi Picoult You might have heard of the movie. This book was the first one I read by Jodi & I fell in love with it! It was so good. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Dear John- Nicholas Sparks If you are the romantic type, you will love this! Movie is coming out, too!

silly freshman , books are for worms
Charlie | Jan 16, 2010


THE HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES! they are awesome. "The sisterhood of the traveling pants’. Love the "twilight saga" also. "Vampire Diaries". then again im into vampire books lol. Theres also a cute romantic book called ‘When it happens" by Susan Colasanti it all depends on the type of books you like, search barnes and nobles (teen section) they have amazing variety. goodluck ;)
Kate | Jan 16, 2010


those are terrible books, no offense.
read something good for a change, read something that will make you more knowledgeble.
don’t read silly kid books that are 5th grade level.

try reading the secret life of bees or the bean trees or something.

or read something interesting, such as books by jodi picoult or something.
Rilynn | Jan 16, 2010


Wrong category. I suggest a book with very short, simple words and sentences, since you obviously have difficulty reading and comprehending English.

Plot: Bob Harris is an American film actor, far past his prime. He visits Tokyo to appear in commercials, and he meets Charlotte, the young wife of a visiting photographer. Bored and weary, Bob and Charlotte make ideal if improbable traveling companions. Charlotte is looking for “her place in life,” and Bob is tolerating a mediocre stateside marriage. Both separately and together, they live the experience of the American in Tokyo. Bob and Charlotte suffer both confusion and hilarity due to the cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese. As the relationship between Bob and Charlotte deepens, they come to the realization that their visits to Japan, and one another, must soon end. Or must they?

English to Punjabi – Translation.?
Hey Friends, I need your help. I just had a small fight with a friend and need to apologize. My friend’s a punjabi and so i would want to make it up for the fight by sending him a message in punjabi. Please translate the following – "Am sorry (name), for acting weird. Dint mean to hurt you or insult you.. I just don’t know what happened.. Maybe I put the things in the wrong way… Really sorry, it won’t happen again. That’s a promise. And thanks for always being there for me.. Wouldn’t want to lose a precious friend like you.." It need not be completely in punjabi, a lil of hindi is also fine. Thanks guys :)


"Mainu afsos hai (name), apne paagalpan te. Main tera dil nahin dukhaana chaahndi si, na teri be-izzati karni si. Pataa nahin kiddan ho gaya e sab. Shayad main galat keh gayi. Bahut afsos hain, pher kadee bhi agge ainj nahin hovegaa. Eh mera vaadaa aye. Hameshaa mera sahara banan layi lakh lakh shukriya. Tere warga amul dost main nahin khona chaahndi!"

how can i overcome this obsession?
I make up fake facebookaccounts of popular people i went to school with because i was a misfit who guys never talked too. I have always had lowselfesteem and no friends!!! I have no life. Noone thinks i exist!! Mymind is messed up so bad due to stress, etc. How can i overcome this stuff. It really hurts!


Things like that take a lot of time to fix. Really you need to start with being real and stop all the fake stuff. You are who you are and people will like you just for that. Nobody cares about the things that happened in high school and you have nothing to prove to these people. Just try to figure out who you are and learn to like yourself.

Concentrate on important things like your career. If you ever need somebody to talk to email me at tnsnimmons@rocketmail.com. Keep your head up and I promise things will get better for you!!

| Jan 10, 2010


u shouldn’t feel this way u should build ur self-esteem up cause guys like this I kno I do. o & also u can always change as a person.
Ty | Jan 10, 2010


It’s ok. You do need to stop doing this though. It would be best to find a better way of expressing your feelings.

If you haven’t, talk to your parents, and get counseling. Just a counselor, you’re not crazy, you’re not weird. Most people are way to scared to do this, it doesn’t mean anythings wrong with you, it just means your willing to ask someone else for help, a good skill in life ;)

If that doesn’t work, perhaps you have an anxiety disorder? Counseling can help with that to.

TONS of people have problems like yours, they just hide it or never talk about it. Everyone has a messed up mind one way or the other. Being genuine is a very valuable quality. Many guys, if not most, in high school, are idiots. If they never talked to you, don’t feel bad. Genuine guys tend to be shy, so they typically won’t.

One thing that really is worse than anything, I think, is someone who tries to act differently around me to get me to like her. I can’t stand it. It means nothing, but it happens all the time. Genuine people (guys and girls), want someone who will be themselves around them, and they’ll do the same. There will always be someone who likes your real self. Trust me.

Good luck!

honey it not hard to make friends who ever you sit next in classes just talk to them

They create a home on the island (centering around a huge treehouse) and explore the island and it’s wildlife. Plenty of adventure ensues as the family deals with issues of survival, pirates, and the brothers must learn how to live on the island with an uncertain future.

Actors: Mills John,MacArthur James,Hayakawa Sessue,Kirk Tommy,Corcoran Kevin,Parker Cecil,Ho Andy,Reid Milton,Taylor Larry,Adventure,Family,

What movies are similar to the Swiss Family Robinson?
Ok, so I am trying to remember the title of a movie that’s very similar to the Swiss Family Robinson. It has to do with a family being stranded on an island and I know it was a family. I think it was more recent than the Swiss Family Robinson. Any suggestions? Thanks


I believe the movie you are looking for is Stranded. Similar story line as Swiss Family Robinson. Same family name also. I also think this was a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. Excellent movie. One member of the family- youngest son was raised by pirates and reunites with family later on in movie. It is from 2002.

could i be happy in a sexless marriage?
my boyfriend is great, he has all the qualities that i would want in a man. He even gets along great with my daughter which is a definite plus. However, there is one problem that appears to be reoccurring. He never wants to have SEX. I have asked him what the problem is and we still get nowhere. He’s really into scents and I cannot tell you how much money I have spent on fragrances, body lotions shower gels, etc… to get him going. Not including the $$$ spent on ling ere. NOTHING!!!! I once told him either ur gay, doesn’t find me attractive or have ED(not the case). He claims it’s neither of these things. It seems like he just has a really low to none at all sex drive. We talk about marriage in the future, but could I be happy in a sexless marriage.


No, not if you’re a sexual person, you will feel neglected and the relationship will not last.
gina | Jan 10, 2010


In a word, no. Because it sounds like your sex drive is higher than his. Your best chance would be identical drives and I don’t think that’s the case. Good luck.
Janet B Acct #3 | Jan 10, 2010


Ultimately, this a question only you can answer. With that said, if it’s causing you distress now and cannot handle it, then it will only become magnified over years.

Marriage is for sex, get yourself a pet if not are having any.
Wisen Smart | Jan 10, 2010


your life will be miserable
you will end up cheating on him
you sound healthy and normal
he sounds gay, into scents..
not boobs, etc. sicko
HOW LIFE WORKS | Jan 10, 2010


wow he needs to get checked out by the doctor honestly. Something is wrong some where. It could be his hormone level or something. Most guys can have sex a few times a day. Hes apparently not telling you something.
I'M a pisces | Jan 10, 2010


Woah, if you want sex at least once a week, and it will be a problem for him? THen there is something not right in your relationship.
Viva Glam | Jan 10, 2010


Of course not! I’m sorry to say that your marriage will not work out if there is no sex involved. In fact I don’t even think your relationship can last very long. It seems to me that you’re already unsatisfied by the fact that you guys are not engaged in a sexual relationship. Being intimate is an important aspect in a relationship. And especially you already asked the problem yet he gave you no answer. If you go on with this you’re relationship may end up badly. You will blame him for neglecting you, not fulfilling your needs. Worst of all, you may even end up cheating on him. A sexless marriage is a definite NO.
Mary | Jan 10, 2010


if you are complaining about it now it is not going to get any better once you are married. He may need to go and see the doctor. How old of a guy is he? Something is wrong. Get him to the doctor and work it out.
UnschoolingMomma40 | Jan 10, 2010


He is gay/
Common sense isn't anymore.. | Jan 10, 2010


Bring-up the idea of an open marriage now.
Either he has E.D. and is too embarrassed to tell you or he’s gay and looking for a front.
It is also possible that he is embarrassed by his lack of experience or lack of skill.

It does leave you wanting a more fulfilling relationship though.

And of course, call me ;) I can fix this problem for you.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
My Antonia by Willa Cather
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories by Sandra Cisneros

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
‘Self Reliance’ and ‘The American Scholar’ by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Three by Flannery O’Connor
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Walden and Other Writing by Henry David Thoreau
Slaughterhouse 5 or Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
Native Son by Richard Wright

Thanks for your help!


I haven’t read all of the books you listed, but I have read a good deal of them. That being said…

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a wonderful book. I think that’s a book every person should read at least once in their life, at least in my opinion.

I also love As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. It does have some dark themes and concepts, but it is excellently written and simply an excellent book.

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story. It is a very interesting story, and I found it somewhat thought-provoking, because it allows the reader to get into the head of a person who is not fully mentally stable. It’s also a pretty quick read.

I don’t know how many books/stories you’re supposed to pick, but some others that I believe are worth reading include Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, anything by Kurt Vonnegut, The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne (I didn’t really like this one, but I can’t deny that it’s a true classic), and numerous others on the list you gave. All in all, I can’t say which books you might like, because I don’t know your taste in books. So, perhaps pick some from the list, look them up, and see which ones you think you might like the best…

Best wishes!

The Road goes ever on | Jun 15, 2009


To Kill a Mockingbird or Slaughterhouse-Five would be my choices. They’re both really good books and there is alot to analyze in them (if you are required to do that).

I don't know I should do about my mother in law?
I guess I’ve gone to the desperasy of asking people online because I still have a problem. I have confronted my mother in law about some stuff she has said in the past and telling me what to do in a calmly manner. But when we go to her house, she still tells me what to do sometimes and I feel like she’s over my shoulder. I’ve tried avoiding her but she’ll ask me questions whenever she gets the chance or brings up something so she can tell me what I should do in that situation. I realize she is trying to help but at the same time I think she can be mean and rude. She will yell to get her way around her house, never yells at me but I mean to my husband and hers. She makes a big deal out of small situations. I always try to be polite, nice, and include her in things but I no longer enjoy being at her house because of how she acts. What should I do? I don’t think it’s right to completely cut her off from seeing my son and I but honestly if it’s something that will work in the long run… I’m open to all answers. I don’t want to do something I’ll regret. And I really don’t think that’s fair but then again she isn’t being fair. I don’t think it’s fair to put blame on my FIL either because he’s done nothing at all…been extremely nice and understand. And trust me… I’ve tried ignoring it… I do everytime…I’ve never raised my voice. But it’s everytime I go over there…shes in my business. I can’t stand it any longer. I also should add she treats her other sons and daughter the same way, like they are kids still. They are over 30..
Good answers good answers.. thank you. I’m still open to w/e anyone wants to say.


What your mother in law is doing is so wrong, I understand how frustrating this must be for you, the only thing you can do it seems you have done, so the rest is up to the rest of the family to talk to her about this, this is not good for any family but if everyone lets her continue to do this she will not change, how sad, this is not your fault.
I Love Babies | Dec 21, 2009


Oh I c. Ok first wats goin on is tht she is treatin u like a child cuz u r datin her child. So she c u like her child & thinks she can boss u around. Which cud or cudnot b flatterin dependin on the situation. So wat u need 2 do is constantly and subtly sho her ur not a child. Talk bout business politics etc. And try bossing her around. I kno ur thinkin "wont tht cause fights?" No! not if u do it in a subtle way like "Pass the gravy", "Im sorry your in my way can u move?" subconciously these little demands override her parent ego becuz now the role has switched ur telling her wat 2 do.
Answer King | Dec 21, 2009


Talk to your husband about it. Maybe if you talk to her together she will be more receptive. You don’t need to outright threaten not to see her again, but imply that if she’s going to act this way that you will not visit as much any more. In the end, if she can’t make an effort to control herself you are going to have to avoid visiting her home. She can still have contact with your family without directly being a part of your lives.
Ashera | Dec 21, 2009


She is not treating you any differently than any of her other children. So look on the bright side and know you are accepted. You go to her home. So her way or the highway. Ok, the woman is not pleasant. Probably never will be. You can always count on some things not changing. And not everything and everyone has to be pleasant. So honey, suck it up and try to limit your time with her.
chiliredkitty | Dec 21, 2009


It might bother you how she acts, however you won’t be the one to stop it. If it bothers all of her kids then her kids need to have a family meeting with her..and try to get through to her. She needs to be told that you’re all grown now, she did a wonderful job but it’s time to stop yelling and to stop controlling. But don’t forget to do it in a loving way.
Tracy L | Dec 21, 2009


Your mother in law can do and say whatever she wants however she wants in HER home. If you don’t like her behavior in HER home don’t go to HER home. As far as her husband and your husband and her other kids go. They are adults, they can choose for themselves if they want to put up with the way things are and obviously they have. Again if you don’t like it stay home.

What could I carve that would be similar to carving a pumpkin?
So, the thing is I love to carve pumpkins. But that’s only something you can do around Halloween.

I’ve been trying to think of something I could carve that would be similar to carving a pumpkin. Something that is available year round, or at least during a season other than fall.

I know there are artificial pumpkins, but you can’t carve (as in just the skin, leaving the flesh) you can only cut.

Ideas would be appreciated.
