Resolved Question: How do I convince my parents to let me live with my grandparents?

I'm 14 years old and my parents recently moved us to Byron, MN from West Fargo, ND, which is a tiny town (less than 5,000 people). It's been about 6 weeks. I absolutely hate it here! Plus, this isn't the first time we've moved... my dad's job has taken us from Tacoma, WA to Boise, ID to Lisbon, ND to Litchfield, MN, then to WF and now Byron. At heart, I truly am a NW girl (WA, OR, ID), and I am sick to death of them dragging me all across the country. I esp. hate that we had to move to another small town... this is the third one, and (no offense to anyone) I just really do not like small towns. The people are very clique-ish here (ie: I'm going to invite her instead of you, just because I've know her longer and I feel obligated) and have 0 to no manners, there's nothing to do, I have no family out here besides my parents and 2 brothers, the school system sucks (education- my history book is from the 60s, and physical/money wise- every Thursday they turn the heat off/down to save money), and many more attributes that just drive me insane. Not to mention my family is just pretty dysfunctional as a whole...my dad's a workaholic, so I hardly see him (Today-Sunday- he's working :/), my mother for some reason either hates me or has bipolar, my older brother never talks to me like an actual human being, and my little brother has a learning disability, making it hard to be patient with him (even though I try my hardest). There's constant yelling and fighting, whether it be between me and someone or between other people. Plus, my parents bit off way more than they could chew by buying some house on a golf course that is about $250/month more than we can afford, on top of the house payment back in West Fargo (thanks, economy). Not only that, but they only signed a two-year lease, which means we'll be moving AGAIN once that's up. Overall, I just don't feel like I fit in anywhere, and I am sick of moving- call me crazy, but I actually want to have friends in highschool. So, I want to ask my parents if I can go move in with my grandparents in Idaho until I graduate. It would just be way more relaxing for me, and I could just focus on my education and being around my grandparents (afterall, they won't live forever :/). I would even be willing to just go for a semester so we could all try it, and maybe they could get their s*** together. How can I convince my parents of this? I've talked about it lightly with my mom, but she didn't take me seriously. How do I get both of my parents to take me seriously? Thanks for taking the time to read all of this- it means a lot to me.

Resolved Question: Help! My internet boyfriend seems to be obsessed with balls!?

So, I met this cute guy online (I've never seen a picture, but he says he's cute, so I believe him), and he wants me to move to Potlach, Idaho to be with him. However, all he seems to talk about are balls. Baseball. Football. Basketball. Men's Beach Volleyball. Golf. Oh, and boxing (I'm really not sure how that last one fits in here). I don't want to always be second place next to him obsessing over balls and other men playing with balls. I need to know that I'll take priority over his sports obsession. I'm really not sure I want to leave my husband for this guy if I'm always going to be put aside every time a ballgame comes on TV. So, I need advice. Is this something I can overcome? Does anyone have experience with a sports obsessed boyfriend or girlfriend?

Resolved Question: Should we make getting marriage a little more difficult? Would secular America take it more seriously?

Yeah, I know atheists. I know. "But....but.....12.3% more Christians get divorced than atheists in Idaho on Thursday's!!!" Yes. Congrats. You got me. **Golf Clap** Now that we got that out of the way, why does our atheist/secular/wobbly Christian culture tolerate broken marriages with such ease? Obviously there are times when a union must be broken. It's biblical to have clearance when your spouse cheats on you. But I get the impression with phrases like "starter wife" and "Trophy wife" that there are many fools out there that don't take this covenant between a MAN and a WOMAN with Jesus at the center of your lives very seriously. My heart breaks for the children stuck in these situations. Perhaps less TV, less fantasy sports and less Internet porn would lead to better marriages? Perhaps men should actually grow up past the age of 15 mentally? Perhaps women should wear a top out in public that is decent?

Resolved Question: You know you're from IDAHO When...?

- The wind is faster than your truck. - Every other vehicle is a 4x4. - When the sun goes down you start looking for your coat. - In March, your vehicle is 43% mud. - You leave your keys in the car and the next morning it's still there. - You installed your new computer using a Leatherman tool. - You hear the words "stream" or "brook" pronounced "crick." - The elevation exceeds the population. - You've broken down on the highway and somebody stops to help you. - You can see the stars at night. - People drive 200 miles to shop in a real mall. - Your great grandmother is older than the courthouse. - You got a set of snow tires for Valentines Day. - The bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house. - Your back yard smells like sagebrush or various animals. - A girls' basketball game fills the gym. - You slept through the night unawakened by a siren. - A rodeo is more popular than a rock concert. - You can fish, golf, and go skiing all in the same day if you try hard enough. - Yellow light means "follow the car in front of you no matter what." - Democrats are like salmon, they are on the endangered species list. - You wave to someone on the freeway because you recognize the truck. - You talk about a combine and people don't wonder what you are putting together. - In the spring, every tenth car you pass is a tractor. - When the car in front of you is weaving you suspect a farmer instead of a drunk. - Maps and gloves are kept in your vehicle's "jocky box." - You can choose plastic bags or paper sacks for your groceries. - You have to wait for a flock of sheep to pass you on the road. - You know why people pay money to watch "pig wrestling." Post some jokes! =^_^=

Resolved Question: How difficult would it be to get into BYU?

Any of them...I have family in Hawaii, Idaho, AND Provo, UT sooo really it doesn't matter which one I go too, I guess. My first choice would probably be Hawaii though because I go every year to visit my aunt and uncle so I know the area very well and I have cousins that go there as well. Provo would probably be my second choice....ehh, whatever. How hard is it to get it? I really messed up my freshman year so my GPA is 3.1. Last year I did so-so (C's) first semester, but got straight A's the next. But I'm starting my junior year this year and plan to get straight A's (I'm intelligent, this is something I could easily do.) while juggling a job and being on JV Girl's Golf. I'm going to load up on APs Senior year, so I believe it's possible that I could raise my GPA pretty high. I AM a mormon, but I don't go to seminary. One of my cousins was rejected from BYU because of that, and she had stellar grades, so...yeah. Or should I just say screw it and stay in California? The rest of my family (my aunts and uncles) moved to Utah and my parents stayed here in the SF Bay Area and we are financially successful. Is California really a place I want to move away from? =/ Anyone know of good schools in California that offer a good education but aren't too hard to get into (I'm obviously not a UCLA or UC Berkeley student.)

Resolved Question: Touristy spots in Idaho Falls ID??

Will be in Idaho Falls next to the Pincecrest Municipal Golf Course. Is there a nice touristy place with shops and things to look at, maybe with music and places to eat? From CA so dont know what to expect. And where are the nearest falls too? Thank you!

Resolved Question: Does anyone know the 18 rules of why westerners are better than city people?

Rules of Utah, Idaho and the Wild West are as follow> 1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. 2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked. 3. Let's get this straight: it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way. 4. They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-80 goes east and west, I-15 goes north and south. Pick one. 5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year. 6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept. 7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin' in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop. 9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. 10. We open doors for women. That's applied to all women, regardless of age. 11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey. 12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! 13. You bring "Coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and serve over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair. 14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch. 15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish. 16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come home for the holidays. 17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines than allof you put together, so don't mess with us. If you do, you'll get whipped by the best. 18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!
