Have I turned into a monster?

Joseph asked:


I lived in Out of state for three years and then to Peru for another three years and while I was there my grandmother helped me a lot with advise and just someone to talk to, for it was very rough. I missed her so much and sometimes I just set and tried thinking I’ll never see her again. I had no way back home and no money to talk to her as much as I wanted or needed to. So to move on I had to harden my heart and just work to make ends meet. Then in September she passed away so I came home in December thanks for my mom’s help. Yesterday was my grandmother’s b-day and my brother was devastated but yet I didn’t feel a thing and to be honest I forgot!! It’s like nothing seems to bother me any more, I want to blame it on all the hurt I went through and how I had to harden myself in order to work and not suffer. Now my family wants nothing to do with me because I have no feelings. it’s like my heart doesn’t change during crisis or lost of a loved one. BTW, she raised me and was much closer to me then my own mother. What can I do to suffer with my family in stead of being the only one that doesn’t shed a tear? Sometimes I have to fake it. Please help. thanks.

What are my chances of getting into Columbia University?

shanabanana922 asked:


I am currently a junior at the rather prestigious Sacred Heart Preparatory in Atherton, CA. My GPA from freshman, sophmore, and junior year average to about 3.85, and have, in my three years at Sacred Heart, taken 3 AP classes and 6 Honors courses. Next year I will be taking four APs. While my grades are not up to par with the average Columbia student, I (hopefully) make up for it in extracurriculars. I have been a Girl Scout for 12 years, having earned both my Bronze and Silver awards, and will earn my Gold Award in early September. I am the leader of the Young Democrats Club, as well as IRIS, our gay-straight alliance. I sing for the campus ministry choir, which sings at the school masses and weekly prayer services, and I was a member of Advance Choir for both freshman and sophomore years (I would still be a member were it not for the program’s cancellation). I have a rather full acting resume, beginning at age five to my current age, 15, including credentials such as the San Francisco Shakespeare Company. I was a member of the GATE (Gifted and Talented Enrichment) program every year prior to starting high school. I have qualified every year since sixth grade for the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth program, and was nominated for the National Leadership Summit. For the past four years, I have done a service trip to Peru to build homes and teach children, and have started a charity, raising money to send the impoverished children that I work with to private schools. I am a member of two a capella groups, and have recieved numerous awards for academic achievement, community service, and my commitment to the arts. Also, I studied abroad in Chile for a month and a half, and I am proficient in both Spanish, French, and German, the latter two self taught. I recently earned a 2030 on my SATs and will retake them in the fall.
Am I a good fit for Columbia?

For all those who are here in the USA Legal and Illegal, Why did you come to the USA?

Maggym asked:


I am also a legal immigrant from Peru, game here as a little girl many years ago. My father brought us here because he knew that this great country give us the opportunity for a better life if we choice to have one, or not is that is what we want, it is our choice, whereas, in Peru, if you were born to the right family than your opportunity for a better life it there for the taking, but if your are born to the wrong family the opportunity to get out of poverty it next to impossible.

I went back to Peru (as a naturalized American Citizen,) when I was a young adult, it was there that I learn to really appreciate how blessed I am to live in a great country called United State of America. It was there that made me appreciate what it is to be an America, NOT HALF AMERICAN, SUCH AS HISPANIC AMERICAN, BUT JUST SIMPLY AN AMERICAN.

I love this country and would never want it to become another Peru. This is my home, by children home, and my grandchildren home.

I don’t understand those who are here flying their flags in the USA soil, bad mouthing the USA, yet living here and partaking all the opportunity for greatness this country has to offer, and not feel that say way as I do about this great Land.

I hope I get some feed back of why legal and illegal came to the USA to live.

anonymous asked:


Hi all. We have been broke up now for a little over 2 months and she keeps coming around for some reason or another. Every time I plan anything with my friend she always try to get in between us. Some times I come home from work and she be waiting for me at my home “to talk”. Yesterday she came over and told me that her dad was really bad. He wants me to come over and pray for him and that I should be as a friend to him even if I did destroy his daughter’s life.
As a christian I want to go and pray over him and spend some time with him but I’m so afraid that they (my ex’s parents) are going to ask loads of questions that I won’t feel comfortable about answering. Please give me advise as to what I should do and if it is to go how can I avoid the questions without being rude? (I live in Peru by the way) so if you know the peruvian customs that would be a lot of help.
I forgot to add, we were in a ralationship for over 2 years and so I because really close to her parents.
Which makes me more scared to go because they try to make me feel bad for what I done to their daughter.

Anyone really fed up enough to move to an island in Chile and live as naturally as possible?

peru homes
Britt L asked:

For ten years my family and I have lived on the island of Chiloe, in Southern Chile. Truly a magical place and one of the most lovely (temperate- not tropical) places I’ve ever been. Problem is, few locals appreciate what they have here. Anyone interested? We live on the beach, have chickens, cows, greenhouse, garden, water from a spring and run our own small business. Aiming for the healthiest food and quality time with our kids. My wife is from Peru and I”m from the US and we have twin 7 year old girls and a 1.5 yr old girl. Land and building is cheap (1.25 acres with ocean US$20k and build a green wooden home for US$35). Life is not easy but it is FULL of goodness, good things and awareness.

Iffy situation – cheating involved – sensualism. I need help?

peru homes
Ryan asked:

I want to start off by setting the scene a little bit.

There’s a girl that I’ve been friends with for a while. Any time she has had problems with her boyfriend she would come to me for help. Her boyfriend just went on a trip to Peru for school and she believes that he has cheated on her. On facebook he forgot to close a chat conversation with his friend that says he’s going to be in big trouble when he gets home because he made a mistake, and his friend asked for at least the girl’s name, and the boyfriend provided some peruvian name.

Idk, I’m pretty good with talking to girls and giving love advice in general and that’s what it started out as. She asked me to pinky swear (lol) that I would help her through this. He is still in Peru, and her and I hang out frequently. When we do, we get really close, we hug, watch the stars on the roof of my car, I play with her hair/stomach/ears, we lick each other for laughs hahah, cuddle, swap gum without using hands (some lip touching involved), but I make sure that we don’t do anything “official” like kissing or go beyond that.

My question is this: What do I do? The first night we hung out, I felt really good, just cause it seemed like she liked me. She made it apparent that she wasn’t doing this to get back at her boyfriend and that, in her mind, they were pretty much over. BUT, her boyfriend and I are pretty good friends, and I love the dude – he’s my homie. Now, after a couple more nights have past I feel really bad, like I’m doing something wrong. I wouldn’t date this girl, because she’s emotionally unstable.. but she’s cute and perrtty, and in these moments my emotions are flaring (obviously). If her “boyfriend” wasn’t in the picture, I would have kissed her by now and seen where that would’ve gone.

So.. I won’t date this girl and I feel bad for doing what I’m doing now because I’m friends with her “boyfriend” – I have no reason for getting close to her except for the fact that it feels good, I’m slightly attracted to her, and he’s a cool girl. She also told one of my friends that if she hadn’t met her boyfriend, she would consider dating me. eeek :\ I talked to her about this and she said she doesn’t regret what we’re doing and she doesn’t see anything wrong with it.. but I do.

What do I do? I feel like an ass, but I also enjoy the closeness and the emotional high.. but I guess who wouldn’t?

Two quotes have been resonating throughout these past few days.
“To deny our instincts is to deny the very thing that makes us human.” – The Matrix (movie)
“I can resist anything but temptation” – Oscar Wilde

That’s such an apathetic, hands-off point of view though with complete disregard for your actions. BAH.

BLESS YOU if you were able to read through this entire thing, lol.

aruk2008 asked:

Can you check the mistakes and help me correcting them as well as telling me why it is wrong. I’ll appreciate any help.

Many people say in Peru there are not many interesting things to do. But in the free time someone has. It can be done lot of activities. Sports, games, social and cultural events are options you have to spend your free time.

If someone likes sports, there are many places where you can go and practice the sport you like. You can join a team and practice football, handball, basketball, hockey, volleyball, rugby and other sports. You can also practice individual sports like tennis, golf, bike riding, jogging and any other. If you like watching sports, there are stadiums where you can go and enjoy a football match.

If you do not like sports, there are other options to spend your free time. You can go to the movies, to the shopping mall, go shopping downtown and even go to a concert of a band or singer.

Talking about food, you can find many different kinds of restaurants, where you can eat pizzas, hamburgers or more sophisticated food. If you want to stay at home you can also rent some movies and ask for a delivery food.

As it has been proved, in Peru there are many places you can go and things you can do to enjoy our free time. People can choose between a lot of activities and they do not need to go to another country to have fun.

Can someone help me with a legal situation I have with my pet anaconda?

peru homes
Barry K asked:

Hey ok well I’m in kind of a tough situation. A few years ago I bought, a pet anaconda from this guy I came in contact with in Peru. His snake had babies and he was trying to sell them. So I had it imported to the US. Well it got much bigger over the years and it’s normal habitat is very large. So, I went on vacation about a month ago for a couple of weeks, and couldn’t take the habitat with me. I knew I couldn’t leave him home alone for that long because he wouldn’t survive. So I decided to take him with me and not keep him in his normal habitat. I got a smaller more portable one. So I made reservations at the Motel 6. When I got there they freaked out about my snake even though they said they allowed pets when I reserved my room. So they wouldn’t let me bring the snake into the room. I took him back to the car, but knew I couldn’t leave him there for very long. So I managed to sneak him into the room, and hide him in the bathroom. So my problem is that the stupid maid decided to clean my room while I was out sightseeing. Even though I put a sign on the door to the bathroom to keep out I guess she still went in. Well when I came back and realized what happened I freaked out and got my snake out of there and left. So since she has turned up missing there have been detectives that have questioned me about her disappearance since they found her DNA in the bathroom of my hotel room. My question is this if they ever find out that it was my snake what if any charges could I face? I mean in a way she was trespassing when I had a sign on the door that said stay out

Randa asked:

the end of this month.

Radical Left-Wing Group ACORN To, AGAIN,
Receive MILLIONS of Taxpayer Dollars
Congressional Cut-Off of ACORN Funding a Sham:
Tell Congress to Cut Their Funds PERMANENTLY!

Dear Friend,
You probably heard that, as a result of the overwhelming scandals that the radical left-wing group “ACORN” is involved in, and after a HUGE public outcry, Congress recently voted to de-fundthem.
WE WERE LIED TO! Congress only voted to de-fund ACORN for ONE MONTH — which means we have to fight hard AGAIN to FORCE them to defund this far-left group… PERMANENTLY!
TELL CONGRESS TO DEFUND THE RADICAL
LEFTIST GROUP “ACORN” PERMANENTLY:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
“ACORN” — the “Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now” — is a far-left group of “community organizers” that has not only worked extra hard to support liberal causes and get Barack Hussein Obama elected — they broke numerous laws in the process.
And YOUR taxpayer dollars helped them to do it!
During the last two election cycles, ACORN has been under investigation for election fraud and related offenses in nearly 20 states, for crimes ranging from false voter registrations and illegal voting, to identity theft and records tampering, to using felons as registration workers. And, recently, a private undercover “sting” operation showed ACORN employees were willing to help human *** slave traffickers to run their illegal “businesses” (including child prostitution) — and how to dodge having to pay taxes, on top of it!
According to the Employment Policies Institute, ACORN is a non-profit (but not federally tax-exempt) organization at the center of a vast web of groups run by long-time anti-corporate activist Wade Rathke and a handful of his closest allies. It operates in at least 38 states, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Peru, and is integral in a fight to prevent Foreign Direct Investment in India. Rathke said ACORN plans to continue its growth by adding offices in 100 new cities over the next five years, after seeing 100 percent growth in offices between 2003 and 2004. ACORN claims 200,000 member families (though member dues only account for eight percent of the organization’s massive budget), and represents approximately 80,000 union members. It operates “social justice” radio stations, community television groups, and a magazine. It runs home mortgage and tax counseling centers, a voter-mobilization organization, left-wing schools, a furniture company, a consulting firm, and a law/lobbying firm.
It’s funded by YOU AND ME — to the tune of MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS YEARLY!
In fact, ACORN has received more than $53 million in direct taxpayer funding since 1994, and countless millions more through grants from financial institutions throughout the country. And, bills passed this year could give ACORN access to as much as $10 billion more.
The American people were so upset with the extent of ACORN’s crimin al activities that we demanded that Congress de-fund this radical leftist group. Last month, Congress was forced to do so — but they TRICKED us, and now ACORN is set to start getting taxpayer funding again, starting on November 1st!
And that means WE have to take action NOW!
TELL CONGRESS TO DEFUND THE RADICAL
LEFTIST GROUP “ACORN” PERMANENTLY:
SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
Shortly after five videos aired on national television, showing ACORN staffers advising people how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for young girls from El Salvador, to be illegally imported for a child ********** ring, the Senate voted 83-7 and the House of Representatives voted 345-75 to cut off all funds to ACORN. The Census Bureau, which was set to let ACORN help them with the upcoming national count (which determines distribution of Congressional seats!), cut ties with the group last month. The IRS says it will no longer associate with ACORN through its tax assistance program either.
So we’re all good, right? No more taxpayer dollars for ACORN — right? Hooray!
NOT SO FAST. Last week, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) revealed that federal funding will again start flowing to ACORN — at midnight, Halloween night.
TRICK OR TREAT! As Representative Bachmann pointed out, “when the clock hits midnight on Halloween night, the spigot of federal tax money will open wide open again… and they’ll be back in the money.” That’s OUR money they’ll be scooping up into their big plastic pumpkins — to continue funding their radical far-left agenda!
CONGRESS WILL GET AWAY WITH THIS TRAVESTY — unless we take action, expose what they’ve done, and FORCE them to do the RIGHT thing!
So, we’ve set up our website to enable you to send “Blast Faxes” to every single U.S. Congressman and Senator AT ONCE, demanding that they DEFUND this leftist “community organizer” group permanently!
For about what it would cost you in time and telephone charges, you can send Blast Faxes to Democrats, Republicans, Independents — EVERYONE in the U.S. Congre
