You see, my best friend's grandmother has a mobility disability problem, I want to help her out, however I can, but I need help finding out what kind of things she'd like to do, or if i could get her some kind of gift? Please help.
She barely talks, even to her own granddaughter (my best friends) so it wouldn't be so easy just to ask her, but what do you think she'd like to do? Pleasee, I need help.
My grandmother's birthday has past and i want to get her a birthday present. she is 67 years old. What should i buy her?

Although India is now probably very backward in terns of cleanliness, economy, caste systems,and poverty, it has had a very rich tradition, culture, religions, music, food, and history than probably any other country.
India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all - Will Durant
India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only." - Mark Twain
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." - Albert Einstein
If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India. - Max Muller

My friend is moving away. She was quiet until lunch and until 4th period (P.E.) she told me that she was moving. Then she broke down crying. She says she doesn't want to go but her mom has to move 'cause of her job. Well, me and my friends were thinking to make her happy on the last days, and to give her a present, so she wouldn't miss us as much. So we decided to get a gift and write all of our names on it with our favorite Perfume, and each bring one of her favorite foods on Crazy Friday(My school hosts a school party every friday with music and games). Then we are going to present everything to her on friday.
We are gonna bring Taki' (a type of mexican/spanish potato chips), some chocolate chip muffins, spaghetti, and of course, cookies! We will be sitting under a umbrella, on a blanket, in the grass, listening to music and watching people play games and dance. We will give her gifts and things like that. But my teddy bear I was gonna give to her is ruined, because my grandmother gave it to my dogs and they destroyed it. But luckily I have 3 more, but I have no idea which to give. There is a green/blue bird(its a webkinz), a giraffe, and a donald duck teddy, which one is the best you think? Do you that it is too much, and make her miss us even more? What do you think?
~Please and Thank You~
have very rigid parents. Their dad is a big time lawyer, there mom is a nurse/stay at home mom. They are the types of parents who think their children need all the best of everything. They buy 0 jeans for their 2 yr old. These girls have EVERYTHING. They even each have their own toy rooms separate from their bedrooms. They do not need toys. I cannot afford 400 dollars for each girl to have an outfit. Yes that is truely what their parents spend. They have this intimidating personalities. Its almost eerie for me to walk into their house. Not that I am poor but I am a nursing student paying my own way through college so money is tight of course. I have thought about books but their grandmother (who I am close to) says there mom is too picky and only allows certain kinds. I am totally at a loss.
Their girls just seem like something out of a primp and proper movie. They are in total control by their parents in every senses of the word.
Someone PLEASE help.
Not to be picky but we moved here when my son was 3 months old. This is our 3rd Christmas with them. Every year we spend about 30-40 dollars on each girl. But last year they gave my son a flashlight that was 6 dollars (I know because I bought one for a stocking stuffer). Just seems a bit off that spend well over 100 on them and my son gets cheaped out. But my son gets lots from us to make up for it. But he is growing to the age where things are said from him and I dont want him to think its ok to be stingy. I am a bit worried he might say something soon. It is very obvious. My mother in law and their grandmother get offended by it and give my son extra gifts to try to make up for it.
I have thought about the donation to someone or some organization in their name but I am not sure. I asked their grandmother (my husband's aunt) what she thought because their mother is her daughter (mind you not the person her parents raised her to be) and she said she would fear that next year they would refuse to have us for Christmas because it is always at their house. That would break my son's heart because he loves to see all my husband's cousins (one is a firefighter who he oozes love for). I guess more than anything I don't want them to make my son feel excluded. I thought about giving them a gift certificate to build-a-bear. Their mom is not hip with stuffed animals - she thinks they make children immature. But I am tempted to buy them in hopes their grandmother will take them and let them be a kid just for a little bit at least, ot keep them at their grandmothers house. She is at least allowed visits with them when their mom is scheduled to work (which is rare).
My sister and I are a year in half apart (I'm 18 and she's 20) and were best friends up until we turned 9 & 10. That's when my parents started fighting again and we silently took sides ( I wanted them to divorce; she didn't). It drove a small wedge between us and we were constantly criticized by our parents and grandmother for not wanting to be around each other as much. Then when we became teens, we drifted even more due to separate friendships, hobbies, personalities, etc.
We are both intelligent but I did better in academics so I was placed in the gifted program, Beta club, got principal's list, and what not so I began to really shine more educationally. This was, however, the straw that broke the camel's back. My father (more than my mom because she didn't want either of us to feel inferior to the other) praised me for doing well academically and even told me I was the smartest of my three siblings. At first it made me feel good but then extremely bad and guilty and pressured to stay that way. I felt bad he didn't tell my sister that but at the same time, my sister was the one everyone said was the prettiest and the most outgoing and likeable so I felt it was my own compensation for not being the favorite, pretty daughter. I was smart. She was pretty and a cheerleader. We kept our place in our household and excelled in them. And if we did something to try and break free of our "roles", whether they were good (me hanging out with friends or her getting an A) or bad (me getting a C or her hanging out late at night ) my father would swiftly make comment of our changing ways, inevitably putting us back in our place.
Eventually we didn't really talk anymore and if we did, it was five minutes of bickering. I thought she was stuck up, selfish, too talkative and superficial. She thought I was lame, ugly, too shy, a bookworm, and unlikable. We were and are night and day.
I worry that our relationship as sisters will never be ammended especially after a recent conversation between my father, myself, and my sister. He made note of all my previous academic accomplishments and how I've had to struggle more for my goals than her, basically belittling her and her accomplishments. I stuck up for her and praised her accomplishments but she just condescended me in the end like always. I know she does it because she feels bad about herself when my dad talks to her about her life but he's done and does the exact same thing with me by making me feel bad for not having a lot of friends or being pretty like her or being liked by everyone. He even told her he was so proud to have her as a daughter. He's never told me that, just that he was proud of my accomplishments.
Continuing my character summaries for the story I am writing. Please let me know what you think of these characters, along with any improvements I could make.
Zachariah Michael Anderson (Everyone calls him Zachy) – 18
• Has been at the school since he was 8, his older brothers Raphael 20, Michael 22 and Gabriel 24, have left the school by the time the story has started (But they will make appearances and be referred to) and is actually very well liked among people. – He doesn’t talk about his parents much.
• He’s tall at 6’5, has a head of dirt blonde hair that falls over Sapphire blue eyes. He has creamy pale skin and a big grin to match.
• He’s a happy, cheerful but deep person. He’s considered to be a joker, and is always quick with a sarcastic and funny comment, more often than not at an inappropriate time – This probably covers up underlying issues, such as his parents leaving him and his brothers to grow up at the school rather than with them.
• He’s smarter than he looks, and gets through all of his normal classes easily. However, he is also very insightful and observant; he seems to always be able to read people like a book, whether they are happy, sad, angry, tired, hungry ect, he knows it, except for Griffin, and Alice when she arrives, he has trouble reading her (this is due to the extensive shield that she’s built up around herself from so many years alone), and that’s what draws him to her - the two become gradual friends over the course of the story.
• He doesn't really trust Arthur, as from the moment he arrives with Alice, he can sense that there is something lurking beneath the surface - but he can't tell what.
• He has the ‘Gift’ of empathy and can read aura’s; which proves useful to people when deciding if someone is untrustworthy. He’s also a decent fighter, for hand to hand combat, so can be useful in a fight.
Lake Tyler Montgomery – 17
• Lake grew up with his Grandmother in Vancouver Canada, like Alice, his parents died when he was very young. His Grandmother sent him to the Home shortly after his thirteenth birthday, when he started displaying the same ‘Gifts’ as both his parents. – His Grandmother is a Witch, as was his Mother, but she believed herself to old to teach him magic by herself.
• He’s small at only 5’3, slim and baby faced with lightly tanned skin, curly mouse brown hair and ice blue eyes. With a lop-sided smile, and a scar under his right eye from the night in which his parents died.
• He’s quiet and shy, and doesn’t really talk to those outside of his social circle. He’s good friends with the twins, Riker and Rydel (when they’re not teasing him), and he likes to hang around with Iris and the girls, because they don’t pick on him for being small. He likes Alice when she arrives, because he sees them as being the same, though he feels sorry that she had to grow up not knowing who she was, and without anyone there – This in turn makes him appreciate his Grandmother more.
• Griffin gives him the creeps; He gets bad vibes being around him.
• He is descendant from a line of Witches’ and Sorcerers, and so can use forms of magic and invoke the spirits; though not powerful one’s – he can only cast a few spells, for levitation and blast forces.
• His father – a French/Canadian Marine - had the ‘Gift’ of sensory location, meaning if given time, he can find anyone or anything anywhere, only however, if he knows exactly who or what it is he is looking for. – His powers work best when angry, but Lake, being kind natured and very reserved, has trouble finding anger to use (until later on in the story).
