Bad Boy with a Good Friend


What should you do if you don't like your friends new guy/girl? This is the question I am facing. My friend has decided to go out with a guy I know is not the best guy. This guy went out with two friends of mine at the same time. He cheated on one by telling the other that he had broken up with the other. I don't want another one of my friends to be hurt by this guy but I have to trust and support my friend in her decision and I want her to be happy but how do I tell her that her new guy is bad news without her getting upset?

All I want for Christmas...

Remember when we were little and we used to write a list of every thing we want. Why can't we still do that? I am currently on the hunt for great Christmas gifts for the people I care about and it seems almost impossible to find the right thing. This is my first Christmas where I have the money to actually buy some nice (small) gifts for everyone. I was shopping on Black Friday (like every other person in America) with a friend of mine and we were talking about what we wanted. I asked her what I should get her and she said "Oh I am easy to shop for." that comment made me think how well do we really know each other? What do the Christmas gifts we receive say about the person giving it to you? I don't want to get her a "safe gift" like a necklace or a bracelet cause the only jewelry that I can buy is from Target, so the gift is just showing the person hey here is a Hannah Montana watch, I thought you would like that I picked up like two seconds ago. Then there are my parents I have no idea what to get them that says hey love you thanks for that food, shelter and paying for all my expenses. So I have been listening very carefully for a couple of months now and I think I know exactly what they want. My dad is the easiest he wants nothing more than for me to utilize my ability's and develop as a kind human being. My mom on the other hand has been complaining about this popover pan for the passed year so I found one that is absolutely perfect. But it still does not feel like enough. So I guess my question is how do you know what the right amount of something to show you appreciation?
