What do you think of my story?

Discovery
"Once, in every thousand years the dark shadows are allowed to enter the earth. For twenty-four hours they are free to roam the streets, without anyone knowing...but the Guardian's. The four human beings who have been born with extraordinary powers. The legends says, that when the shadows attacked the last time, they had killed two of the guardians, almost reaching the secret that is hidden in the core of the earth."
"That is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard." Laughed Tawny at the legend that she has just heard.
"I think it's interesting." The girl who has just read the story out loud objected her friends opinion.
"Come on Tina, it's so.... I don't even have the words to describe it." Tawny said looking at Tina's face and bursting out with laughter.
Tina had always loved reading legends. She found them fascinating and so magical, it made her want to smile. Sure none of her friends believed in these stories, but it never mattered to her.
"It's not like anybody believes in this crap." Tawny shrugged as she sat up from the couch and started walking towards the computer that was placed on a small antique table in the corner of the room.
"I believe in it, and I'm sure there are more people who do too." Tina argued with her best friend as she began to follow her, wondering to what was she going to do with the old and dusty computer.
She watched amused as her friend cursed under her breath trying to figure out how the ancient thing worked.
"Just press the black button." Tina pointed with her finger at the small button. Tawny's face lit up when she saw the screen start.
"What are you going to do anyway?" This was a mystery to Tina, since this computer was never used by her friend. It was just something that stood in the room with almost no point for being there. Sure sometimes Tawny's mother would turn it on and search for something online, but that only happened once or twice a year.
"I am going to look up this legend of yours and see what other people have to say about it." She said proudly while she fiddled with the mouse.
"I thought yo don't care about these things." Tina stated the easy fact, still standing beside her friend with a confused look on her face.
"I don't, and I want to show you that nobody does." She said with a distant look in her eyes still trying to figure out what to click on the screen.
All Tina did was sighed and made her way to the door which led to the outside.
"I'm going to get Will and Ivy, while you do, whatever you need to do." Tawny didn't answer her face was stuck to the computer.
Actually Will never ends up with any of the girls. Sorry , there is like zero romance in this book

My friends dad died around nine months ago, left a house and a little money. He had three sons, one of whom cared for him, had a joint bank account with him and visited him twice or more a week and whenever he called. He has been living in the house for the past nine months with the belif that he would get the house (because the other sons agreed verbally). The other sons only wanted a gun and a car and a painting which they got, and the rest of the family where free to come and get whatever they want from the house (pictures antiques etc). Now when it comes down to it (because of financial problems of one of the brothers) they dont want to sign the house over. Will the house be sold and money split equally, or will the brother that took care of the dad be favoured and keep the house?

Lesson 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you 0 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her 0 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…

“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the 0 he owes me?”

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders, in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the admin. clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 3

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 4

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there. Kind of goes against 'What Makes 100%', but hey, it's your call :)

Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

Heavy Rain Plot Holes??? **SPOILER**?

First off I'd like to say I loved the game (although it may not seem like it lol) but my experience was soured slightly by some significant plot holes and I'm wondering if I've just missed something or if you have to have a different outcome to get some answers or if the game has just been a bit unpolished by quantic dream...

-How did Shelby kill Manfred(the antique dealer)? I saw the flashback where it shows you Shelby hitting him over the head with something but as far as I can remember you control Shelby the whole time and you stay in the front of the shop with Lauren until Manfred takes too long and you find him dead.

-Why would Shelby care the Lauren died? In my game I kicked out the window in the car before I untied Lauren so she died. Then Shelby goes to Kramer's to get revenge. But whouldn't be glad she was out of the picture as she was effectively trying to find HIM.

-When Shelby's mother whispers his name to Maddison she looks shocked but how would she even know who he is? They hadn't crossed paths.

-What happened to Ethan's wife/Shaun's mother? I know if Ethan dies she goes to the grave with Shaun but in my game Ethan and Shaun get an appartment together and she's nowhere to be seen. Are we supposed to believe she would just let her only son (who had just been rescued form certain death) leave and live with her ex-husband.

-And what I think is the biggest plot hole - What's with Ethan's blackouts? I know he has blackouts because of the fact he was in a coma and the trauma of his son dieing but why does he always wake up in that street and more importantly why does he have the origami pieces in his hand?

Like I said I really loved the game, I thouht it was a great change of pace to the usual shoot 'em ups and the like and I'm hoping there are simple answers to my problems rather than plot holes.

Also did anyone jump out of the window in Shelby's appartment in the fire scene? If so does Maddison die like she says she would?

Thanks.

So I'm a stay at home mum to a 9 months old very good girl. Which is not the problem. Before my daughter was born we hired a house keeper to help with the cleaning and ironing. She's staying with us full time.
She's very good with the cleaning and I couldn't be happier because having someone else to take care of the house gives me full time to concentrate on my daughter. Now this person in the past has been taking my baby's clothes without asking (I always give her the ones Emily's not using anymore myself) and this is been going on for a while until I had a serious word with her and she eventually stopped.
She doesn't speak any italian (we live in italy) and very little english so I find hard to communicate. What I know though is that she's a serious threatening to my baby's health. She keeps putting random things into her playpen (50 cents coins, sharp or very small objects, antique dolls from my collection) and doesn't matter how many times I tell her not to put anything in there I still find the most random objects in it. I always make sure I check but I know that one day either me or someone else will put her down distractedly and something bad will happen.Playpen should be a safe space for a baby. Also the other day I sat my daughter on her highchair to get her lunch ready. After And I swear I could tell her/shout for days and still get no result. Should I send her away? Because i really feel bad about it but what else can I do?
