Something's up with my dad and I can't figure it out, but maybe I'm crazy?
Okay, okay I know this is going to sound like I’m high and living out of some badly scripted movie, but I’m the paranoid type.

My dad works as a Financial Systems Analyst (fancy for accountant) for the Department of Defense. Anyway, the past few months he’s been going on a lot more business trips than usual, like three times as many. He always gives me his hotel information in case of emergencies or if I need more money in my checking account or something. So one time I needed something, I called the hotel and requested him. They had no record of him staying at the hotel. Not only that, his four day trip turned into some mysterious eight day trip… and his phone wasn’t turned on (straight to voicemail). Super creepy? Well it happened a few more times before I called his work and they assured me he was there and that he was just super busy in meetings or something (Government people…). Well, so he supposedly had a trip to San Fransisco and I called his hotel and guess what? He wasn’t there! His cell phone was on, but he wasn’t answering. I must have spent four or five hours calling every hotel in the area. ALL said he wasn’t there.

He has also been working a lot more. Usually he’s home by 4 (unless he goes out with his friends or girlfriend), but he’s been working till like 6 or 7 and not coming home till like 8. His girlfriend of 4 years broke up with him for working too much!

On top of this, about a month ago this weird 866 number kept calling. A few times I answered and it was a woman (sounded black) in a very hushed voice, distressed voice. She would ask for my father. I would say the generic "He’s not her right now, can I take a message?" She would just hang up. I called back a few times expecting some company, but it was a personal number. It was to some guy named guy, and when it went to voicemail it said that it couldn’t take anymore messages as it was full. I told my dad and he said it was probably a solicitor or bill collector (except my dad isn’t in any kind of debt). They continued to call and I would hear breathing and then the call would end. Sometimes I would answer and it would immediately end. Now the phone isn’t even in service. I haven’t heard from "them" in a week, so I was curious and tried to call them back.

On top of all that I came home yesterday to find our house a complete wreck. It was ransacked. Nothing was stolen though! The intruder had taken stuff out of drawers and closets (my neatly organized closet TRASHED!) and thew it everywhere.

I think that my dad is like a secret spy or something?! This sounds crazy, I know. But its really weird. I think that he’s maybe an assassin or something top secret. I haven’t found a secret room in our house yet (like in the movies), but IDK.

My father also brought in a lot more money than his job pays him last year. I’m really nosy about his finances, which I know are none of my business. But his salary is public record.

For 2009, a person on the General Schedule, Rank 14 (GS13), Step 3 makes a Base of 89,009. Then you have to multiple that by the local increase. For Cleveland that’s 18.16%. This comes to a little over 105,000 (this is before the taxes and stuff).

I tried telling my dad about the weird house break in, but he’s on one of his "business trips" and I’ve left numerous voicemails. He’s supposed to be back Monday, but for all I know he could be dead.

I know this sounds extremely odd, but I’m so freaking worried I packed a suitcase and am staying at a friends. I’m scared, like for real.

Could me dad be an assassin?

In the movies don’t they take the kids for hostage or they get axe murdered?? I’m only 16! I just got my first car and I want to go to college. I’m too young to die. I’m really worried about my dad =/
Why would he need to sell drugs? He makes good enough money.

His ex girlfriend is a pretty good looking lady and they had been dating for 4 years?!?

Why would his "new girlfriend" have our house ransacked?

How do you know he’s not adept or not? I don’t know, but part of having a secret life is being able to hide it!
I’m going to get axe murdered =C

---

One of two things:
1) Your Dad is buying and selling drugs.
2) Your Dad has a girlfriend.
3) Your Dad probably isn’t adept enough to be a assassin. (you saw too many movies!)

If your house has been broken into, you need to call the police, if you father does work on secret information, I am sure you will be taken care of. I honestly think you are overreacting, you fathers rooms are probably not registered under his name, but through work. I would call the police and stay at your friends until your father returns. If he was an assassin, he would not be working so many hours.

My 5 year old son's behavior is out of control…Help!?
I just don’t know what to do anymore. My son and I have definitely not had a normal life and I think this has really led to his current behavior. His father and I divorced when he was 6 months old. We were in the Air Force, stationed up in Alaska. A couple of months after we divorced, his father moved to a different base in Utah. He has since remarried and has never been a huge part of my son’s life. He calls every couple of weeks and my son goes to his house for a couple of weeks about once a year. My family is from the midwest and I didn’t make very many good friends while I was stationed there (as any female who has been in the military knows, the wives hate you and there aren’t many females that you work with, so making GOOD friends is difficult). So for the first 3 years of his life, I raised him completely by myself while also working a 60-hour workweek job. Disciplining was few and far between and I spoiled him rotten, mainly because I felt so guilty.

I got out of the Air Force, moved in with my parents, and started going to school full time in August of 2006. Things only have gotten worse. My parents hated the lack of discipline but instead of helping me or giving advice, most of the time they would berate my parenting skills or get mad at me or my son when he would do something wrong. After a year, I moved out and got my own place. I’m still going to school full-time and work part-time as a server when needed.

Justin has always been very active and very loud. So am I, and so is his father. He has also always been very emotional. Big meltdowns are something that I’ve been dealing with for years. Lately, however, the meltdowns are becoming colassal and impossible to deal with. If I ask Justin to do anything e.g. clean his room it usually becomes a huge deal with him screaming that he hates me, kicking me, hitting me, throwing toys, screaming this blood-curdling scream that has to be heard throughout the neighborhood. Twice when this has happened, I have given him a spanking. I’ve always been a firm advocate for not spanking but I just didn’t know what else to do. When I did it, I was very calm and it was just one swat, but it didn’t do anything. So now I just try to ignore him until he calms down. And when he tells me he hates me, I say that I’m sorry he feels that way and that I love him. Usually he calms down and would go a couple weeks between episodes. In the past month they have become more frequent and I’ve started to expect them every couple of days. And another new thing is that when I discipline him, he has started saying that I don’t like him anymore. This is heartbreaking to me, because this kid is my world!

Now I am busy…busy, busy, busy. I am a full-time student in my junior year and I do a lot of homework. I know I don’t play with him as much as I should. Quite frankly, I hate playing with cars, trucks, and trains and I have a hard time doing it for longer than a couple of minutes. But we do other things: coloring, watching movies, playing video games, going hiking, we go to the park several times a week, if not every day when it’s nice, and go to McDonalds playland when it’s crappy outside. He’s had swimming lessons, karate, tumbling. I try to do everything I can to make him happy and healthy. So I just don’t understand why his behavior and mood swings have gotten so severe. This has made me feel so guilty and I feel like it must be my fault and that I’m a terrible mother. I feel bad that his dad’s not around and bad that I have yet to remarry and get him a suitable "father" figure. (And that’s an entirely different post…I refuse to settle with just anyone!). Also, even though I try to do activities where he plays with kid’s his age, he has no friends that are his age. He calls my 24 yr old brother his best pal. None of my friends have children yet and I have no idea how to go about meeting kids for him. I’m hoping this will get better when he starts kindergarten in the fall?

So I took my son to the doctor and we will be starting counseling soon. I just want to know if there’s anything else I can do and if anyone else has had this problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There are multiple things you can do. My son is 2.5 and has outbursts very similar to your sons. I made an appointment with his pediatrician just for myself to discuss my sons behavior. He referred my son to place called Early Steps. (I had never heard of it before). I took my son and they did a complete evaluation on him for everything. He qualified for some programs that were FREE for my husband and I. He gets to see a psychologist for his anger management persay. Also, the approach the child development therapist has given us options in dealing with these moments and it is VERY difficult and time consuming, it IS working. We are encouraging (almost over encouraging) good behavior. Only with verbal praise and hugs and kisses. When my son throws things, hits, screams at us, etc. we simply drop our heads look sad and say that it hurts my feelings and I don’t want to be around you when you are being mean and hurting me by hitting me. Then we just walk away staying in his sight and not look at him. The first day it made it worse, but we stayed consistent with it. When my son is done and realizes he is not getting a response from us acting like that he will walk up and want a hug and will clap and say I big boy pwease, and I take the oppertunity to tell him when he hits or screams that isn’t being a big boy thats being a mean boy. It was about 3 days and our hectic life that revolved around my sons attitude turned into we can go places now, he is pleasant to be around, he will do things without being told like picking up his toys and will come announce he is a big boy. No spoiling, I do not have to buy things, it was all natural things we should have been doing. My son is the first child for my husband and I the first grandbaby on both sides and the first great grandchild on both sides, so it has been hard. I realized we didnt know what we were doing or how to do it. And, it was okay, now we do. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from anyone where you live. You are not the only parent who is going through this at all. Nip it in the butt while you can and you will make your sons life easier for the both of you. I did learn that children feed off the emotional and mental state of their parents. We also had to make adjustments within ourselves too. We are in week 3 and its amazing the change in my sons behavior. Just do not give in. When everyone says it is all about being consistent, they are telling the truth. Consistency is the key. Spanking in my opinion should be used when your child does something that could cause harm to himself, like running in the street, I panicked and spanked my son when he did that and it was the first time he had done that and the first time I spanked him, however, he will grab my hand before he walks in the parking lot. My reaction scared us both that neither of us will have a repeat of that. I wish you all the luck in the world! Stay stern, if your son knows you are weak he will be able to manipulate very easily.

My son is 5 as well, and had similar problems with the ex etc except that my ex does have shared care, only he doesn’t discipline at all. If my son doesn’t like his dinner he’s allowed to throw the whole thing, plate smashing and all onto the floor. He swears, hits and punches. He’s starting to understand that he may be able to do it at dad’s, but its not acceptable behaviour for mum’s house. Trouble is Im scared of him, he’s knocked me out cold twice already.

I don’t really have any advice that’ll help, but my son also does the "you hate me" part and I believe its just trying to work out whats normal. They have a huge range of emotions and don’t understand just because you hate someone at the time, doesn’t mean you’ll like them again later, so if you’re upset or angry about something, they immediately think that you hate them and that scares them even more.

It sounds like you are a good mother, after all you wouldn’t care if he hated you otherwise. You’re interacting with him and the benefits will follow, just hang in there

im not a mother so cant help you much.

but from the point of view of a child, i think he just want your company more. both of my parents are working and rarely spent time with me. i used to do the same when i was a kid although not that extreme like your son.

you have a hard time. do your best!

I am a homemaker with 4 kids, age from 3 yrs to 9 years (2 boys & 2 girls) I used to work in a hotel line which required long working hours. I have similar problem as yours for my eldest son 2 years ago. This has opt me to resign from my job last year to really spend time to educate him. Thank GOD today my son behave much much better. My advice to you is to spend as much time with him and give him all the positive & encouraging word.

As others had said "9" and "Corpse Bride". You may also want to try "Mirror Mask" or Jim Henson’s "Labyrinth" or "The Dark Crystal" (though not as dark). You could also look into Miyazaki’s movies "Spirited Away", "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", or "Princess Mononoke"

Lion King 1?, The (2004) IMDB rating: 6.40 Plot: Imagine a cross between _Lion King, The (1994)_ (qv) and _Back to the Future Part II (1989)_ (qv). This is a separate story thread, that of Timon and Pumbaa, intertwined with the original story. Thus, along with seeing new events (e.g. Timon’s departure from the meerkat colony, Timon and Pumbaa’s first meeting, the origin of “Hakuna Matata”), we get to see a new perspective on (and some previously unseen causes for) some of the events in the original film. Oh, and the whole thing is told in a _”Mystery Science Theater 3000″ (1988)_ (qv) framework, with Timon and Pumbaa narrating and interacting with the “onscreen” movie.

Does anyone else hate the use of the world "character" in wrestling?
Jim Cornette once wrote this:

"First and foremost is the word "character". It’s used constantly today, even by veterans, so much so that many who were around back in the day have to think hard to realize it’s a recent term that was NEVER heard in wrestling until the late 80’s/early 90’s"

"No wrestler should feel they have a "character", some other person detached from them, a Walter Mitty-like alter ego who comes out when the red light comes on, then goes away when he changes clothes in a phone booth. Every performer in pro wrestling is in the "ME" business. For example, as a performer, I am in the Jim Cornette business. Jim Cornette is my product. I sell Jim Cornette."

What are your thoughts on the word "character" being used to describe a wrestler. Personally, like Jim, I hate it. Your thoughts?!
Brandon:

I see what you’re saying, but they’re not an overexaggerated version of themselves. It’s an overproduced idea out of some Hollywood script writer’s mind.

"Gimmick" was always a term used in wrestling. A wrestler’s gimmick was, as you said, perhaps that they didn’t have one. But, to me anyway, "character" just sounds way too soap opera for something that supposed to be a serious show.
Raymond H:

It’s not who they are because they didn’t create it. A good "character" as you call them is an individual’s personality with the volume turned up 100%.

No, they don’t go round like that ALL the time, but the fact is that a "character" is something someone has made up for you. Not something that represents who you are, evenly vaguely.

---

Well, not everyone can be like Jim Cornette and sell themselves to the crowd, some people need a character to get over, it really doesn’t matter if you call it a character, an Alto Ego, or a Gimmick, it all means the same thing, and everyone, even the guys back in the 80s and before, had played characters.

All Hail King Jerry | Dec 18, 2009

---

I like Jim also, but I disagree with him. Wrestlers DO play characters for the most part. Even Chris Benoit, who is slagged on for never having a ‘character’, had a character. It was that of a non flashy, focused, intense wrestler. The fact he wasn’t flashy was actually his character. So, I do think the word character should be used in wrestling. Wrestling is a morality play of good vs evil, where guys either play the face or the heel. They’re all characters. Some may be closer to the real personalities of the wrestlers than others, but their is still a part of them playing an over-exaggerated version of themselves.
Brandon | Dec 17, 2009

Do you think Kamala goes around to the TGIFridays slapping his belly and moaning unintelligibly with his handler directing traffic? No…he goes there as Jim Harris.

Do you think DX goes to the same TGIFridays, sprays silly string all over the place, and Shawn Michaels superkicks the manager when s/he tells them to stop? No…they go there, eat their food, and get out.

When a wrestler has a persona just for his job, it is his character. The same as when an actor plays a part on a movie and TV set. It’s not who they are.

Need help picking a good audition song…?
Hey, I need both a ballad and a more upbeat song choice… I am mainly an alto, for an example of my range, I’ve done "Can’t Get a Man With a Gun" from Annie Get Your Gun and "I Love a Piano" from White Christmas… I’m looking for something directors won’t groan at (aka, over used songs, aka anything from Wicked, Hairspray, Rent, Phantom of the Opera, or Grease…)
anyone have any suggestions?
sorry… I am definatly an alto, my range is pretty basic, I can’t go that high…

This would help a great deal in what you can sing to impress with your voice. I would suggest a song that the octave is very comfortable with the range of your voice. For instance a soprano could get far with "Over a Rainbow" , a second soprano could get far with "Moon River", an alto could pick from a variety of songs like you have mentioned or "Tomorrow", "God Bless America", or "Love Story".
Do you understand what I mean? Good Luck on your pick and kick some butt with your talent.

How about something from "Seussical the Musical"

Hmm. I had the same problem. I can sing comfortably anywhere from Soprano 1 to Alto 2. You might want to look at "You must love me" from Evita. Very beautiful.
