Do you capatilize grandma and grandpa or grandparents when writing?

When writing a paper do you capitilize the words my Grandma? my Grandparents? or are they to be lower case?

And also when writing a paperif you had a sentence like this:

They owned a restaurant called La Plazita –> would you place La Plazita in quotes or in italics it?

How do I get Polish Citizenship through my grandparents?

My Grandparents on my mother’s side were from Poland, born and raised, before they immigrated to the U.S around the 1950s. I want to try to obtain an EU passport. Can I do this through my grandparents ancestry in Poland? I was was born and raised in the U.S. as was my mother. My father does not have any relationship to Poland. Please do not quote the jargon off of the consulate website, I’ve read it and have no idea what it mean or how it applies to me.

How many Democrats realize that your party is no longer your parents or grandparents Democrat party?

The party is now owned and operated by George Soros,The Shadow Party and MoveOn.Quote: from MoveOn director Eli Pariser,”Now it’s our party.We bought it,we own it….Does this make you proud to know you have at least two far left radical groups controlling what was once the back bone party of the people.

baby chicks?

i have two baby chicks they are 3 weeks old i got them when they were 3 days old when i got them i really didnt get a chance to ask any questions so i wanted to know how old do they have to be when they stop needing the heat lamp when can i start feeding them regular chicken feed any tips or pointers would be great help thanks

Baby chicks?

When can baby chicks be moved outside? We have an extremely nice/secured chicken coop/house and some baby chicks. They currently have feathers on their wings and tails. Do they need to be completely covered in feathers before they can go outside?

Thanks
K8t, thanks, that’s what I thought…

I also thought about putting the heat lamp outside with them…. I’ll probably just keep them inside until they are completely covered in feathers with no fuzz…

BABY chicks?!?

where can i buy baby chicks!? somewhere close to sussex.
PLEASE HELP =]

Baby Chicks?

I need to know proper care of baby chicks. The fact that I’m even asking seems silly since I grew up with chickens that each year had babies, but I just want to make sure I don’t “mess up”…
What do you need for chicks you buy from a feed store? When our hens had babies they just lived outside, we didn’t intervene or do anything. They ate the normal adult feed and just lived with mom and did fine… can babies start out outside on normal mash? Or since they wouldn’t have a mother should I start off with them inside with a heat lamp?
Also… and this is probably my most important question. We have stray neighborhood cats that come around our house… do cats ever dig to get into things?
Any input/info is appreciated.

Memorial poem for grandma and grandpa?

You all are always so helpful so I thought I would ask. I am getting down to the wire getting some things done so I will now probably have a bunch of questions.

I wasn’t orginally going to do memorial anything as I know my loved ones are watching down but I think it would touch my mom. I would like to include a small poem or something in my program for my grandma and grandpa (my mother’s parents, also my grandparents I was close with) my grandpa died when I was about 2 or 3 but still have fond memories of him and his wife my grandma who died when I was 15. They both died too early and wish they were still here. I think my grandma really died after my grandpa did. They were married for so long and only to each other.

So I would like a poem of some sort about marriage/love and death. Not morbid or anything. Hope I am explaining this correctly.

Does anyone know of anything?

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone make suggestions to make my poem more poetic?

A Child in Hiding

There was a child named Suzanne Butnik
And her childhood was going great
Until one fateful day. During that day,
She was a lost child, all she could do is
Watch people run in all directions as they
Screamed from the top of their lungs. Only one
Thing would make the Jewish people of
Budapest, Hungary act like they are crazy;
The Germans.

To escape the wrath
Of the Germans, Suzanne and
Her mother stayed in her grandparent’s
Home from being taken away.
The days were cold and hunger soon took
Over their minds. Her mother struggles to find
Food as Suzanne starts to cry. They move
From one safe house to another to keep
The Germans from being suspicious.
Suzanne and her mother finally ended up living
in the woods with the others who are
trying to escape death.

With each other’s love to comfort them,
There was no reason to die.
For the good news that the red army is
coming, their soul lit up like the
Summer sky. With the chance of
coming home, Suzanne was filled with curiosity.
When she reached the city of Budapest,
she is finally home. She will never forget this
moment as it will be written in a tome.

Is there something wrong with me?

My dreams usually come true. It’s nothing like predicting a death or anything, but I’ll just have a glimpse of something seemingly random, like a bottle of perfume spilling and someone screaming. It won’t make any sense until a couple weeks later I go to the mall to Sephora or something and a kid knocks down the same perfume in my dream in the same setting and his mom starts screaming at him, Just random stupid stuff. After it happened multiple times I looked up Deja vu and assumed it was something like that. But over the past year or so it’s gotten more frequent and the situations less irrelevant. I sometimes made decisions off of what I dreamed, not logic. I started getting confused because deja vu once in a while is normal. But I’d have it like every week. So I started writing down my dreams to prove to myself it wasn’t just some stupid deja vu…and I’ve recently convinced myself that yes, in fact I am seeing things in my dreams that come to reality. I should probably ignore it because it’s nothing huge, but it freaks me out a lot. It’s unnatural. What prompted me to write this is that a while back I had a glimpse of a poem about grandparents. And now this kid recently died and I checked out his ‘memory page’ on facebook and the poem‘s there…he apparently wrote it and his parents found it when cleaning out his stuff or something and posted it there. I’m confused…it’s so weird. This probably doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it’s something unexplainable for me. I don’t like it.

Do i have a depression disorder?

I was wondering if this is depression? i feel lik cryin almost EVERYDAY, i feel bored and worthless. I just always wanna be left alone. these are my personal experiences, to help u:

- I have heart problems
- my older ONLY brother is autistic, mute (can’t speak, no voice, no sound) and adopted
- my mom and dad are divorced
- met my dad ONLY ONCE in my lifetime, two years ago, summer vacation.
- who i thought was my dad really wasn’t
- who i thought was my dad, who i loved very much, disapeared in Haiti (visiting his friend) and is possibly dead from the earthquake
- The haiti earthquake that might of killed who i thought was my father happened on my birthday
- my mom and i don’t have a great relationship anymore
- my grandparents are dead
- don’t have a good relationship with sisters anymore

i don’t have lots of friends. NO ONE knows about how im feeling exept for two of my CLOSEST friends. One of them i told but does’nt relate or undersstand. the other really understand and relates well, so i trust her more and more close to her wit my real side. I lik to be in my room, closed lights, put music in my ears (ipod), read books wit a little flashlight. i also sometimes close the lioghts, listen to my ipod and stare out my bedroom window and i would start cryin about how i hate my life. I also have my diary i write evry time im in my room about how im feelin.

now, im a little better than before. around september-october, i would cry lik crazy, throw stuff and and talk to myself or outloud if no one in the house would hear me, i would say stuff lik how i hate my life and why did god make my life lik this. I also have this broken closet door in my room that i used to write words like : ( cry, life and death, suicide), with also little dark sad poems.

my closest friend knows this but not COMPLETELY, cuz i told her during 2010 summer vacation, and it got worser during september-october, now it got a little better, but i think it’s getting worse again ( the crying and depression ).

wat do i do??? is this depression

ps: srry about how long this is.
i also left this out: i thought about suicide probably only twice. but i thought about running away about more than 10 times but never thought of ACTUALLY doing it, cuz it’s not really smart.
plus, it’s like i WANT to be depressed

Can Chinese families adopt American children?

I was looking at an article from CNN about American families adopting children from China, and was wondering if Washington would even allow a Chinese family (living in China) to adopt a non ethnically Chinese child with US citizenship?

Are families form China actually legally allowed to do this, and if so how hard is it. Presuming that the family is in a position to give the child a good home would they be allowed to do so?

FYI, I’m not interested in doing this myself, I just want to know if it’s even allowed.

Why not adopt a child from your OWN culture?

I see some white families adopting children from China and they make no effort whatsoever to retain the child’s Chinese culture. They just westernise their adopted children.

This is just an example of many. All these celebrities are adopting kids from around the world with the process taking just weeks, and are changing their names to “cooler” names. Let’s all forget the name they were given at birth, the name that denotes their culture. It’s a fad. I bet they don’t even try to make their child’s culture an integral part of their lives. They should because with international adoption, the child is being taken from their country and from their culture.

I adopted a child from Indonesia and I haven’t tried to force a new identity on him. His birth name has been kept, we fluently speak his native language and we celebrate his culture, not erase it. (I must say that I live in a country not too far from Indonesia but that isn’t the point).

What are your opinions? Before some of you go mad, I did say SOME families do this (westernise their child/erase their culture) not all.

Any adopted children whose parents are of a different race?

I would like to hear from anyone who has been adopted by a family whose race is different from yours, or from parents who have adopted a child outside of their race. I’m wanting to know if you have had any social problems such as teasing from other children or difficulty with grandparents, etc.

We are looking into adopting a child from China and I am just trying to think everything like this through.

adoption from overseas, what is your opinion?

its very typical for american middle upper class families to adopt children from china or an asian country. how would you feel if a middle upper class asian family were to adopt an american child and moved him/her to live in china or an asian country? also what if any other race/nationality were to adopt an american child and raise that child in their (the adoptive families) native land say africa, brazil, indonesia, saudi arabia, ext? do you think it would be fair and the same for a child to be adopted and brought up to live a better life with a loving family whether its in the states or not?

Are your kids’ grandparents fair to all the grandchildren?

My parents are both deceased and I was an only child. My only aunts and uncles are elderly and live far away and don’t really know my children, though I do my level best to keep in touch and send photos of the kids and cards and pictures from them so they feel like the kids are part of their lives. All these aunts and uncles used to remember me at birthdays and Christmas, but they claim they have too much going on with their own grandchildren to do anything for their dead siblings’ grandchildren.

My in-laws coordinate with my sister-in-law to get her twins things like a Fisher Price house with all the people and accessories for their birthdays. For my kids they have always tried to get away as cheap as possible and put little thought into it. I talked to my mother-in-law once about trying to help me out since my kids have only one set of grandparents while their cousins have two and she said, “Your kids will just have to accept that your dad was an alcoholic and died.”

Nice.

So now I am in the position of always filling in the gap of gifts and experiences they should have had with my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles that I had growing up, that they can’t have because my parents and grandparents are deceased and my aunts and uncles won’t help out. Even if the aunts and uncles would do for my three kids what they did for me total while I was growing up, it would be helpful.

And my uncle received 1/4 of my mom’s estate when she died even though he is the richest person in our family and I was a minor child at the time, and he refused to give up any of my 1/2 of the estate (which he was in charge of) for my college education, so that my dad had to pay for it all, which was in direct violation of her will. Now I have never approached him and said he owed me or anything like that. I have always been respectful. Yet he says my children will just have to accept that they don’t have grandparents and he has too much already with his seven grandchildren.

They don’t get it — if my mom was alive I would never DREAM of bothering them. But since she’s not, I can’t afford to make up for all my children would have had from my mom, my dad, my grandparents (whom I admit would be 100 years old by now), etc.

They are not spoiled or feel entitled to anything, which makes it all the more tragic that no one cares about them. I feel bad that our Christmases are such that we are forced to give them only traditions: going to get a real tree, decorating it Thanksgiving weekend, doing readings and advent calendar every night in December, and playing games together and watching movies on Christmas, with only a few presents and some of those clothes. My kids don’t mind and love the traditions, but that’s not the effing point. They would have a lot more if my parents were around.

Anyone else successfully whipped their in-laws into shape to make things fair for all the grandchildren?

I’ve heard people say stuff about grandparents rights to grandchildren and is there any truth to it?

Hi. Here is my question, can my biological mom sue for grandparent visitation? See I moved out of my moms house when I turned 18(the very day I turned 18). I haven’t had a good relationship with my mother at all. My mom is very manipulative and always seems to turn stuff around to be about her. I’ve tried numerous times to have a relationship with her, but it always seems to end in a blaze. She always seems to do stuff to make me mad, its like a game to her I think. I’ve been more than nice to her, I’ve fed her and my little brother and sister, lent her money and still she always starts a fight and she always brings my fiance into it. Hes been there for me since I was 15 and has been witness and victim to her verbal attacks. This last one pretty much done it for me, I mean she totally crossed the line and things were said that can’t be taken back and I just want can’t deal with the stress anymore. So after considering everything I’ve decided for the sake of my relationship and my sanity I’m just better off without her in my life. Now my fiance and I are planning on getting married this summer and we’ve been talking about a baby. I was wondering if when we do have a baby if she can try to sue for grandparent visitation or rights? This is something that really worries me because I don’t want my child to be around her at all. Can someone please help me? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks all.
I live in WV, if that helps with the laws at all.

I need help with a game plan on the grandparents visits once the baby’s here?

Ok so this is our 1st child and 1st grandchild for both sides of grandparents. Luckily both families live within 3 hours so we don’t have to do any drastic planning for anyone’s visits. My mother-in-law has already said that she’ll wait a couple of weeks and let my mom come over and help 1st since she figured a girl is more comfortable with her own mom. My husband will be taking off a week when our daughter is born to help out. My parents only live in the next town so they are extremely flexible and my mom does not work so she’ll be available at anytime. So my q. is when is it best to plan to have my parents over? I know we’ll need all the help we can get, but am not sure about taking away from me and my husband’s bonding time. Any suggestions on what you think would be best from personal experience would be greatly appreciated!

I know we can kind of play it by ear, but would like an initial game plan so everyone knows what to expect upfront to try to prevent hurt feelings when the time comes. Thanks
Oh yeah 6 1/2 weeks and counting!!!!

Disney baby bedding?

Does anyone know a good site for Disney crib sets and nursery decorating items? Thanks

baby disney bedding?..please need to know!?

where can i buy dumbo(disney) bedding for baby,s cot in glasgow.uk.?

Suggestions for Disney baby nursery theme?

Over the years, when my husband and I have preordered the Disney platinum edition DVDs, we’ve gotten lithographs of all the classic Disney movies (Lion King, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, etc.) that we’d like to frame in our baby‘s nursery. The problem is in our opinion a lot of the Disney baby bedding and merchandise is tacky (please don’t attack me for this, it is just my personal opinion). I want something that goes along with the lithographs – soft colors, classy, not so bright and ‘commercial’ and something that any other Mom and Dad might be picking for their baby‘s bedroom (so I don’t want baby bedding from Wal-Mart or Target, since pretty much everyone buys from there).

Money isn’t an issue as long as it isn’t completely outrageously priced (I just can’t make myself pay some prices!). Does anyone have any suggestions (or specific examples) of where I might find a nursery theme (looking not for unisex, but for both boy AND girl since we don’t know the sex) that would not look out of place with the lithographs? It doesn’t necessarily have to be Disney, just something that will go with it.

True to life Baby Name Fun?

1. You get hired doing the job/career of your dreams what is it?
2. At the company holiday party you meet the love of your life, what’s their name?
3. You get married on Date? And Where? What were your wedding colors?
4. You give birth to a baby boy two years later. His first name has to do with Art middle name nature.
5. Three years later you give birth again to another baby boy his first name is a magic name middle name is a greek name.
6. two years later you give birth to a girl FINALLY! You name her first name after a woman who made an impact in your life. Her middle name means elegant.
7. Three children is quite enough with juggling a career. Years pass and your oldest is in high school, your middle child in junior high, and your youngest is in 4th grade. You give in to your maternal instincts and try once more. You give birth on Christmas Day to triplets. Two girls and a boy, their first names have a christmas meaning, middle name a religious meaning.

Baby name meaning,is it really that important?

I know a guy named Leroy.Now the meaning of Leroy is “king” but he is hardly a king.In fact he never completed high school,he failed ninth grade two times and then just dropped out.I don’t even think he ever completed his education.Therefore i don’t think name meanings effect your child’s life that much.

Don’t get me wrong,it is a good idea to have a nice or positive name meaning but i don’t think it will change the course of a life.

how about a baby name / life game?

aged 15 you fall pregnant,your “boyfriend” leaves you a week before he is due, but the shock and distress makes you go into labour, you name your son ————- and give him your dad’s first name, then your son’s dad’s first name, as 2 middle names.

you leave school to be there for your son, aged 18 you think you’ve finaly found the guy of your dreams ——————–. and when you are 19 you get engaged and he adopts your first son. on the honeymoon to ————————– you concieve twins, a ———– and a ————–. you give birth in the hospital, and name them ——————- —————— and —————- ———————–.

when you are 23, you and ———————- try for another baby, you succesfully fall pregnant with a girl, whom you name ————————— ————————–.

the following year, you and your family move to ———————————. and you give your next baby the place name as a middle name —————————– ————————–.

oneday, a tragic accident at work, kills your husband, and you are left a widow. you are distraught, and amonst the grieving you discover you were pregnant, another daughter, you name her something that means hope, or is inspiring, and you give her the feminine form of her fathers name as her middle name. ——————————— ————————————.

7 years later, you become a free-living hippy, and fall pregnant what you think is the last time. you and your hippy boyfriend ———————– have created quads! the names are connected to eachother, and follow your hippy spirit style: ———————– ————————-, ——————– —————-, —————————- ——————–, and —————-, ——————————. you give birth in a hammock :p

2 years later you fall pregnant again, its a ——————. you name it ——————- and their middle name rhymes with their first, you end up giving birth prematurely – in the back of a campervan, but everyone is healthy.

and 2 years after that, a miracle happens! you fall pregnant one last time, twins you name them the most beautiful names imaginable ———————- —————- and ——————- ——————.

and they all lived happily ever after, the end

Are people really this mean in real life? [Baby Names]?

This is a stupid question but whatever.
I was just looking at unisex name questions and people just totally bash my name [Hunter]. And I was just wondering if you were a teacher or person that just met me would you totally bash my name like the people on the net do?

Just wondering.
Do people act like they do in real life concerning baby names.
Like if you sister was going to name her daughter Hunter, would you tell her “That name deserves to be on a dog, not a baby!”.
