Well, I know this 15 year old kid that has done crap to me for a long time. I am going to say his name is Brian, even though that is not his real name. I moved in next to him when I was 6 year old. I am now 12 years old. "Brian" has been doing stuff to me for a long time. Bad stuff. I will say all the thing he has done. I am fed up with "Brian" and I want him thrown in jail. He has done stuff to me that I don’t fully remember, but I remember most of it. When I was about 8 or 9, he broke into my house when these carpenters were putting in new carpet. The carpeters thought he lived there, so he just mozied up stairs, and stole my money. He took 20$ dollars. He then put my piggy bank outside in the trees, and left. After a long feud between my family and his, his family finally found the money he stole and gave it back to me. Our families had a big fight, because his family was obviously protecting "Brian." A long time ago also, he got a metal basebal bat and threatened to beat me and my sister with it. One time, when I was like 8 he said if I didn’t give him my mini moter scooter before Wednesday, he would beat me up. Since I was around 8-ish I was really scared, and I was crying and stuff. He has just done so much crap over the years! He stole my Pokemon book right infront of me and thought I didn’t notice. He stole a board out of my backyard (this board thing was only like a month ago.) He has probably even stole more crap I don’t know about. He has took my shoes, and threw them at a far away street, he has stolen my bike and left it somewhere once or twice. He has tried to beat me and my friends up, he was chasing me and my friend Sarah whipping us and we were running, we ran into my back yard, and he tore out my fence so he could get us (more property damage…) He has smashed our Haloween decorations. And VERY recently he lit fireworks right by my garage, and he lit a stinkbomb and drew on my garbage can with it. Very recently he pulled a knife on my friend and said "Wanna go!" and he was being serious. And very recently he threatened to strip me and my friend naked and hang us to a tree. He is serously phucked up. And tons of times he has gone crazy and tried to beat us up. And he has used a sling shot to shoot rocks at our shed. And he has tried to like beat us up a millions time like i said before but we hid in our shed and he tried to open it but he couldnt cuz we put brickks and then he did the sling shot thing. so ya tons of times he has gone on a crazy rampage. and he has said he is going to paintball my house. and yesterday, he threw a balooin with a marbel and vinergar with it at my friends house and made a hole in my friends house doing that. And he has even done more crap i dont know of!!!!! This dude needs thrown in jail hes 15. Do you think I should call the police on him! omg and thats just all the stuff i knwo about and remember!!! i kno he has done so much more . should i call the coppes
u mean the cops wont believe me just cuz it was a while ago!!! if i have proof that he wrote on my garbage can wont they believe the other stuff

I am moving later this July, and I am only in touch with one of my friends, who is a close family friend. She was looking after my pet and house, so my mom made me get her a present. I happily did so, and made her a collage of us in a frame, some candy, and a drawing book since she loves drawing. I came to their house and gave her the presents and she said, "Oh, thanks!", and ran up to her room to put it away. I thought she bought or made me one too, as a good bye/birthday present, but she didn’t even get me a card. Now I am wishing I didn’t waste my own money on her. Is this immature to think this? I am hurt, since I probably won’t see her again. I am moving to another country. I turned 12. by the way. I talked to her on the phone and told her what I got for my birthday (a new scooter, drawing book, candy, and a necklace that used to be my grandmother’s), just in case she just forgot.

I don’t mean to sound spoiled, but I am hurt. I will see her one last time in two days, to say good bye. Should I confront her? My birthday passed, and I celebrated with my family. I don’t think there will be a suprise party since we are meeting at a park. Should I confront her?
My birthday was on the 12th, so I don’t think it’s a last minute gift.
Well, some years, she never got me anything. I try to be the better person and get her gifts every year, but it’s bugging me now since I am moving. They don’t have a financial problem, but she didn’t even make me anything, like a card. Nothing heart felt. I’m not mad at her because I didn’t get a present, I’m mad because I do and she doesn’t seem to appreciate it.
I am very sad to leave her, I have known her my whole life, but she seemed almost in-different when I told her I’m moving. I keep asking her to visit sometime, but she ignores me when I say that. And now, she knows it’s my birthday and couldn’t even "make it" to my birthday party. She was the only one I invited.

Hi, im 30 years old 5’11” tall and around 180lbs. I have always wanted a dirt bike since I was a kid but my parents could never afford one. Now that im an adult with some money Im finally getting my own bike. Since this will be my first time on a bike (I have ridden other gas powered scooters, go carts atv before) I dont know what type of bike I should buy.
I learn fairly quickly. Im not looking to be in the next X-Games either. I just want to mainly cruz around and do a few jumps, nothing to crazy! So whats a good bike to look for either used or new? What size would fit me? I like Yamaha’s but im open other brands. Also Im not too handy with engines so low maintenance is a must. I can change oils ect.. but I will leave the rest to a dealer. So any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Wow. You guys think I should get a 250 or 450?? Remember, I havent really ever riden a dirt bike before although im sure I will pick it up fast. My buget is bettwen 00 – 00 for a used and around 00 – 00 new. I was thinking of starting off with a Yamaha TTR 230 to get the hang of riding but I dont want to out grow the bike fast. I never thought of getting into a bigger bike like a 450!!

Also I hear 2 strokes are faster off the start but 4 strokes get better overall power through the gears. I was leaning toward a 4 stroke. I hear 4 strokes are easier to maintain to. Is that true?

My hubby is a spendaholic! He has a lot of hobbies (mini-bikes, scooters, snowmobiles, go-karts, etc) that he spends a lot of money on. But even aside from his hobbies, he likes to spend for the pure joy of spending. He makes about 00 every 2 weeks. We SHOULD be living rather well for our taste (not quite high class, but upper/middle class).. yet we are living paycheck to paycheck and most of the time run out well before the next payday. I’ve started taking his change or whatever money is left in his pockets from the days spending and storing it away. I figure if I do this often enough, and to the point where he wont catch on to the change being gone.. I could get a nice little "nest egg" started. Im not saying I dont want him to notice me taking the money because I think he would be mad, because he wouldnt be.. I dont want him to notice because if he KNEW about the money thats set aside, he would want to spend it the SECOND he ran out of money!

Whatdaya think? Is it wrong? In one aspect I feel like Im stealing from him and hiding things from him and its so so wrong. But on the other hand I feel like if he’s not able to save on his own, I’ll do it for him. And when the day comes that we are in desperate need of money, he’ll be happy to find out, I’ve been saving.

Is there another way to go about it though? I’ve tried talking to him about his spending and tried to get him to save and he just CANT! Money burns a hole in his pocket before it even gets in there! lol It’s also not a possibility for me to get a job and save MY checks because we have 3 kids.

Tips, advice, help….

I want to buy a scooter but i do not have a lot of money to spend on it. Also, i do not plan on keeping it for long so a low priced one would be convinient. Thanks in advance.

I read somewhere that moped scooters have between 75-100+ mpg! That’s really great. Can you see everyone riding one around? I can. It’s very weird to me. I’d do it. They range from 0-0+ and to me are a definte wave of the future.

QUESTION: In order to save money & gas, would you ride a moped scooters to do your everyday tasks and only use your car on rainy days and long trips?

Like the ones with the little hat and ask for money. Sometimes have a mini bike or scooter.

I do not want to spend a lot of money on a scooter, but I would like one. If I would buy it, it would be like 0 or a little over.(less is fine too) If I was to buy it, it would have to be easy enough to put together for me. (I’m 14). My dad could help me a little, but not with everything. I do not have a welder, so it cannot need that. Oh and I want a scooter that you can stand up on, not one of those ones that look like mopeds. Please help, thanks.

I live in NYC and am considering getting a scooter to zip around without having to sit in traffic for hours and worry about parking. I’m also trying to save money but not look ridiculous so a large scooter that doesn’t require insurance and registration would do the trick I think. Any Ideas about what classifications I should look out for?

I want to get this mini bike for myself. My parents own a lot in a private campground where the speed limit is 5mph for cars and they are very strict about it. They are much more relaxed about golf carts, atv’s ect. I would like to have a mini bike to take with me when I go to visit so I can get around the park. I weigh 240 lbs so just want to make sure a mini bike will carry me before I spend the money on one.

Thanks!

I cant get a car (no money) and my bike is making me so sore i can hardly pick my daughter up. I was looking into buying an electric scooter and was then wondering how am i going to transport her in it.
I need something motorized that does not need a license, and runs on the sidewalk.

I am in need of a new car. My main concern is money. i am a first year college student and i was needing to keep my car payment around 350 in order to be able to afford it and insurance. I just resently found out my car insurance went up and so now i would be paying the 0 + 125 for insurance. I only bring home about 0 a month but i am still living with my parents. my other option is to get a scooter. i have found one for only 0 so i wouldnt have a car payment and my insurance would be cheaper. scooters are more dangerous but when i outweighed the pros and cons they came out the same. i know in the end it is up to me but i would just like some out side opinions on what you would do. thank you a bunch!

I really need to save money on gas, therefore I am thinking to get a moped in the near future. Yet, does anybody know what should I do if I buy a street legal moped or scooter? Do I need to buy insurance? Can I ride it on the freeway? Please help me with my question if you happen to know the answer.
I forgot to ask what to do after I buy a scooter? How to register? With MSO, what is the next step?

and what about the motor? do they last long? I don’t want to spend lot of money and after few month only to find out motor is not running or any motorized problems etc…what is good brand, model and where can i buy good, reliable gas powered scooter?
