Resolved Question: I'm overcommited. What should I do?

I have soooo much going on in my life right now and I'm beginning to loose motivation. I feel like I can't drop anything. 1. I'm in my junior year of high school. I hate it. I used to be a straight A student, but I don't care about my grades anymore. I feel like school is useless and I'm only doing it because it's a government requirement. 2. I have a job. Every day I have to go clip grass for people and do other yard work. This takes hours and hours but it's the only way I can make money. 3. I'm in piano lessons, My parents really want me to stay in piano lessons (which I have to pay for myself) I used to adore piano, but lately it just feels like a chore and I never really want to practice. 4. I do art. I am a pretty good artist and I have people lining up to buy art from me. My parents (again) are extremely overbearing and are trying to force me to receive it done. I hate this. The more they ask me to do it, the less I want to. 5. I have accounts on fanfiction and DeviantART. I like writing. This may seem like the obvious one to drop, but it is my main source of happiness right now. My family does not know about it, so I feel complete freedom to say whatever I want to say without being afraid of offending their religion or personal beleifs. Also, I have over 200 daily readers and I could never quit on them. 6. My parents make me work for them in their garden because they're too needy to buy food. If I don't, they receive mad. 7. I am committed to my church and youth group. What should I do? I'm feeling depressed. The only one I care about right now is my fanfiction account. Otherwise I'm getting behind on my studies and piano and art and my parents won't cease being overbearing. Help!

Resolved Question: Some problems with Sims 3 World Adventures?

So I've been playing World Adventures no problem for a few months, but today when my Sim took a visit to China, she disappeared and I could only watch what was going on in China. So I searched online and someone pointed out that you could edit the town and move your sim into a home in China so that you don't lose your entire game. That worked, but then I realized her entire inventory was lost. No big deal, but then every of her skills, memories, and lifetime rewards were gone too. That's super annoying. I spent a lot of time getting her to master cooking, gardening and martial arts, and was almost there for fishing as well. I haven't saved the game, but she's moved into China. There's probably not a way to fix it but I would be eternally grateful if anyone knows a way.

Voting Question: can you read this and understand it and say you aren't touched?

Can you read this and understand it and say you aren't moved by allah's word? YOU don't need to read every of it In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the 4Merciful Alif. Lam. Mim. (1) Allah! There is no God keep Him, the Alive, the Eternal. (2) He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. (3) Aforetime, for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion of right and wrong. Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, theirs will be a heavy doom. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong). (4) Lo! nothing in the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah. (5) He it is Who fashioneth you in the wombs as pleaseth Him. There is no God keep Him, the Almighty, the Wise. (6) He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others (which are) allegorical. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. None knoweth its explanation keep Allah. And those who are of sound instruction say: We believe therein; the whole is from our Lord; but only men of understanding really heed. (7) Our Lord! Cause not our hearts to stray after Thou hast guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Thy Presence. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Bestower. (8) Our Lord! Lo! it is Thou Who gatherest mankind together to a Day of which there is no doubt. Lo! Allah faileth not to keep the tryst. (9) (On that Day) neither the riches nor the progeny of those who disbelieve will aught avail them with Allah. They will be fuel for flame. (10) Like Pharaoh's folk and those who were before them, they disbelieved Our revelations and so Allah seized them for their sins. And Allah is severe in punishment. (11) Say (O Muhammad) unto those who disbelieve: Ye shall be overcome and gathered unto Hell, an bad resting-place. (12) There was a token for you in two hosts which met: one army fighting in the way of Allah, and another disbelieving, whom they saw as twice their number, clearly, with their very eyes. Thus Allah strengtheneth with His succour whom He will. Lo! herein verily is a lesson for those who have eyes. (13) Beautified for mankind is adore of the joys (that arrive) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode. (14) Say: Shall I inform you of something better than that? For those who keep from bad, with their Lord, are Gardens underneath which rivers flow wherein they will abide, and pure companions, and contentment from Allah. Allah is Seer of His bondmen, (15) Those who say: Our Lord! Lo! we believe. So forgive us our sins and guard us from the punishment of flame; (16) The steadfast, and the truthful, and the obedient, those who spend (and hoard not), those who pray for pardon in the watches of the night. (17) Allah (Himself) is Witness that there is no God except Him. And the angels and the men of learning (too are witness). Maintaining His creation in justice, there is no God keep Him the Almighty, the Wise. (18) Lo! religion with Allah (is) the Surrender (to His Will and guidance). Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) lo! Allah is swift at reckoning. (19) And if they argue with thee, (O Muhammad), say: I have surrendered my purpose to Allah and (so have) those who follow me. And say unto those who have received the Scripture and those who read not: Have ye (too) surrendered? If they surrender, then truly they are rightly guided, and if they turn away, then it is thy duty only to convey the message (unto them). Allah is Seer of (His) bondmen. (20) Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slay the prophets wrongfully, and slay those of mankind who enjoin equity: promise them a painful doom. (21) Those are they whose works have failed in the world and the Hereafter; and they have no helpers. (22) Hast thou not seen how those who were given a portion of the Scripture are called to the Scripture of Allah (in their disputes) that it may judge between them; then a faction of them turn away, being opposed (to it)? (23) That is because they say: The flame will not touch us keep for a certain number of days. That which they used to invent hath deceived them regarding their religion. (24) How (will it be with them) when We have brought them every together to a Day of which there is no doubt, when every soul will be paid in full what it hath earned, and they will not be wronged lo! is not lol lo! means curse

Resolved Question: How do you create a good Dystopia in your Dystopian story?

This is what I have so far, the Dystopic City is called Equali City, The buildings are ordinary and plain-looking with nothing to fancy or extensive or extravagant, there are many zoos and gardens with every different kinds of animals and plants, the artwork is mainly of numbers, geometric shapes, mathematics, colors, animals and plants, every book, play and music is every about facts and logic, the land is earthy, and people are identified as people. every of this run by the leading group called the Philisterians. Yet the city lacks many things that have been replaced with materialism and ignorance; culture, non-Equali artwork/music, drama, no mentioning of national, holidays, heritages or ethnic names/words, no other languages except the common tongue (English), and no books about literature, science-fiction, adventure, history or philosophy. The Philisterians are anti-culture/history/nationality and creeds. They wanted to create a state of pure equality, one without books, art, music, theater or histories that mention or talk about war, racism, slavery, religion/non-religions, holidays, oppressions, revolutions and hysteria, and also that people must denounce their national/ethnic heritage in order to live in a society of 'humanity'. They prefer to use animals, shapes, plants and numbers as their form of identity, cause the Philisterians believe that mathematics and nature have no prejudices or qualms. Does this need more work or is it a needy idea?

Resolved Question: How to care less about appearances and more about the mind?

I'm in college as a premed, but I work part time as a "boudoir model". Naturally, this requires me to look my very best, which I do. I do this at night to cover my bills as it is quite a high-paying one, and in the day am working my butt off to sustain those As. Back in high school, I got As and Bs, cared as much about looking good as the next high school girl, but spent a great deal of time doing highly enriching things like reading A LOT (and not science/school books only, you look), writing and dreaming of being an author, drawing A LOT, and sometimes singing. I am exceptionally good at every of these--and please don't take that the wrong way. Just stating the facts. But to stay good, these require maintenance. Practice. I once enjoyed practice, made time for it. I still try. But nowadays, I barely have time to study, let alone for these hobbies. I adore them so dearly as they make sure my mind is a green, cultivated garden and not a wasteland. Even a scientist's mind can be a wasteland, in my opinion. And we every are so very familiar with the wasteland inside a great many models' minds. And this job--I mean, I was always stylish, always fashionable, always confident with my body, but... lately I'm feeling like it's getting too important in my mind to look good. It somewhat disturbs me, this new concern. I feel like a stripper. I'm even losing interest in art, an age-old interest of mine. I've stopped dreaming of being an author. The fact that I'll be a doctor someday is immutable. I will, no doubt, but for me... that is not enough. Is this in my mind? Is it in my mind that my garden is shriveling, withering away, leaving in its place a clean-clip scientist's, a rock-icy sl*t's mental wasteland? Please don't belittle my question, dear answerers. (At the time, I don't even know what the question essentially is. Just talk to me.)

Resolved Question: How do you do Divination - reading the future - from Sheep's shoulder blades?

Does anyone have this skill , passed on from Yiayia , perhaps ? Having slow cooked a half shoulder of lamb last night , on a bed of sliced potatoes and onions , the meat with a coat of mixed herbs and chopped garlic laid on it , and then the ceramic dish wrapped in foil , 20 mins on 200C , then four hours on 125C , the meat just slid off the bone , and aided by a Greek side salad (without the Feta ) and some hot multi-grained bread , I scoffed the lot , with a half litre or so of a thin Spanish red wine to assist it on it's way . MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ! ! ! Leaving me pensively looking at the bone and idly wondering how you go about telling the future from these things . It has been a Cultural week for me in Greek related things , on Monday the Missus and I took the Eurostar train through the Channel Tunnel to Lille , in the far north of France ( the trip is pretty dull going through , like a 20 minute ride between Monastiraki and Omonia , only much less exciting ) Anyway , apart from eating various meals to die for while there , we went to the Musee des Beaux Arts and found two Paintings by Domeniko Theotokos , El Greco , from Fodhele village in Crete , therein , A study of the Western Church's saint Francis of Assisi , and Christ in the Garden of Olives , which had astonishing use of bright Magenta and Aquamarine pigments - for his epoch . And yesterday we had our annual " Voices from Greece " event at the University here in Norwich , the UEA , this year looking at topics about Thessaloniki , the history , an account of the life and works of Manolis Anagnostakis , a modern era Poet of the left wing in politics - " Words must be hammered in like nails " he wrote of his writings - but then he was a diasporic Cretan ! And lastly Victoria Hislop was there (who she ? ) author of " The Island " about the leper colony of Spinalonga ( again Crete ) and now made into a 26 part serial by the Greek T V Mega channel . Her latest book ( in english ) is " The Thread " and is set largely in Thessaloniki . ( Guess who left his copy at home , and so couldn't ask her to sign it ! ) etsi einai H zoi . And I have just read through Stratis Myrivilis' " Life in the Tomb ", and have the Communist general Sarafis' book " E L A S " , his history of the resistance and the civil war , and a copy of Andreas Franghias' novel about Athens , " the Courtyard " , Both to read next , so , - Many thanks for those of you who found me the links to suppliers of translations into english of Greek authors' books ! Nothing about expanding my library on this shoulder-blade , though , as far as I can look ......... .

Resolved Question: What to include in my art exam?

For my art exam, my theme is gather (gather objects, materials, buttons ect..) based on the artist Joseph Cornell, and I have decided to base mine on spring. Everything is in this wooden box which I have made, but now I don't know what to put in. This is what I have got so far; - Clay insects, - tiny glass bottles contaning different things, - A picture in a photo frame which I drew myself, - Another picture but the outline is embriodered, - Embriodered animals, insects, flowers ect.., - Real leaves (coated in PVA glue for preservation), - Lockets, - A clock (which I made myself), - Gardening calender and vegetable/blossom labels. So thats what Ive got so far, I was wondering what everything else thought. Thanks for your time! =)

Voting Question: What are some fun, odd jobs anyone can get?

Hello, Thank you in advance for your input. Sorry this may end up being a little lengthy. Before I say anything I would like to share an article: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-receive-a-job/ Give it a skim and you will understand the mindset I have had my entire life(I agree with the article). I don't like school and I don't think it is necessary to make a living. I know that I am very talented and capable of making a living without having a 9-5 job or working for someone else. Who I am and what i'm looking for: I am currently making my possess website for a business I am starting up(I knew nothing about web design when I started and had no personal helpers to show me what to do, so It has taken a while to receive going). I have made a lot of progress, but have a lot left to do and do not have time to receive it done quickly while working a day job. I am thinking about paying someone to help me speed up the process, but I do not have a lot of money. I am an artist and dream to work from home with my family selling products and possibly offering services. I am currently working doing grounds maintenance on a golf course. I have done this 3 years in the past, but at different golf courses. I chose this because I like working outdoors and gardening. This year I am getting a little fed up with it because I hate golf and the tasks are becoming so mundane and stupid. I receive paid $8.40 an hour and start work at 6am. I do not like waking up early either unless I receive to stay home and work. I have never had a cashier job or a job in food services because I think those are the worst ones out there and I am socially awkward. I like doing odd jobs. Some I am currently doing on the side are: picking up someone elses kid from school three days a week(found on Craigslist), helping my pal clean exercise bikes at a spinning studio once a week for cash, and helping my mom as an assistant for her interior design business. I am not interested in pursuing interior design, but am very artsy and do not mind helping her with odd tasks and helping her with some of the design aspects for clients as well. I am looking for any quirky, odd, fun job ideas that anyone can receive that could replace my golf course job and possibly go along with other jobs. I'd like to hear about ones that are accessible, but that I may have never heard of or thought about. I'll take anything that will help me mix it up and mix and match so that I can keep my life interesting and enjoyable while I support myself and receive my business underway. I do not need to make a lot of money, I just need something to pay the bills that doesn't make me feel rundown and useless every day. I would like it to be more enjoyable and interesting that what I am currently doing and have done in the past and I do not want to be working every the time or during the evening because I need my family time. I don't mind things that are just once a week as long as they are not one time deals because I don't want to have to be finding new things to do every the time and worrying because it is not steady. A little bit more about myself: I am 19 years old and am not going to school for any degrees or anything. I do sometimes, however, take art classes at studios to further my knowledge. I have had a job as a mail carrier and will hopefully have one again soon, but it is only one day a week. I have worked in a hotel cleaning the rooms which made me feel like a low life, but I would do it again if they didn't use such harsh chemicals. I was a receptionist at a tiny massage therapy place for a short time and had more of a problem with the other employees than the actual job, but would probably not want to do this for a big company. I always thought being one of those "online chat representatives" for businesses would be fun, but I don't know of any that are based out of my area. I live in Farmington, MI USA. Some of my other interests include, holistic medicine, gardening, art(photography, metals, jewelry, paper crafts and card making and photography), yoga, soccer, organic and healthy eating and making my possess skincare products. Thank you so much for reading and for any input you can offer.

Open Question: Language arts help! read a short story then answer 3 questions?

When I was your age, Tyler, every the boys were into muscle building. We wanted to build up our arms for baseball. We wanted to be home-run hitters. I spent one winter lifting weights, and so I felt pretty good about my arm strength. Then one early spring day my parents were going to a party at a neighbor's. It was just for grown-ups, so they were leaving me and my sister, Fran, alone in the home. Of course, they didn't leave without the usual warnings. Dad said, "Now, don't receive into any trouble." Mom added, "And no fighting!" Once they left, I decided to show off a little. I flexed my arms and showed Fran my muscles. Your Great-Aunt Fran was about ten years old then. I don't think she quite got the idea, because she just sort of shrugged her shoulders. "What's so great about that?" she said. "I'll show you," I said, annoyed. "I've got muscles of steel." Now, we had an old-fashioned bathtub in those days. It was the nice with four knobby feet and rim around the top. Those tubs were heavy, too. But I wanted to prove myself. Fran followed me into the bathroom, and I grabbed the tub by the end close the faucets. Then I heaved it up. And up it went—just enough; just enough, this is, that a pipe broke and the water in that pipe spilled onto the floor. I can still look the way Fran looked at me then. I think she couldn't decide whether to giggle or sob. Me, I started rushing around grabbing towels to mop up the water. "Boy, are you in trouble now, Eddie," Fran said finally, like I didn't know that already. "Thanks for that," I said. "Got any ideas on what I do now?" Of course, I knew that the only thing I could do was to telephone Dad at the party and admit to him what I'd done. And that meant he'd have to arrive home and fix the mess I'd made. He came, and I could almost look the smoke coming out of his eyes. Without even changing from his party clothes, he took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work. Only when he finished did he turn to me. After staring at me awhile, he said softly—your great-grandfather always spoke softly— "Since you like showing off your muscles so much, Eddie, I've got a big garden plot that needs turning." And with that, he rolled down his sleeves, put his suit jacket on, and marched out of the home. Now, turning the soil was tough work; however, I enjoyed it so much that it turned me into a gardener too. Now, young man, given your latest incident, I have some work for you in my—our—garden. 1. Why did Grandfather Eddie tell Tyler this story? to receive Tyler to build up his muscles to explain to Tyler about his possess life to tell Tyler about his sister, Fran to help Tyler learn how to dig a garden 2. Give three examples of how Tyler learns a lesson from his grandfather. 3.What characteristics of this family suggest that they would be good and helpful members of their community? Give at least three reasons for your answer.

Resolved Question: Is My Poem Good? Wings Of Amorous Liberty?

I fly to new heights with angel wings A sacred place to me they bring I hover at the very Golden Gates To peek in Paradise at the grates My hand briskly runs through your hair The spirits of adore dance in the air My cup of heart in your hands is safe and sound In a rosy garden, caressing is bound In lustful indulgence, we dare to steep The dark forbidden sins, we seek in the deep When everything in this sacred place is free None else could know such amorous liberty You move yourself in a graceful majesty No one else could ever know how good you can be Entrancing waters soon form a flood Breaking through the barrier, just as the roses start to bud Some do not know the art to make Such innocence, so silent, each other we take In this place, we are forever free Free to adore forever, with our Wings of Amorous Liberty Not death, paradise It's like being at Heaven's gates & looking through at paradise, but not in it, just gazing in wonder It's to set the tone/ mood of comparing the person in the poem to paradise, his "wings" allow him to go to Heaven's gates & look in at paradise (Metaphorically in real life he gets the girl) & is comparing her to paradise/ seeing Heaven through the "very Golden Gates"

Resolved Question: What should I name my coffee shop?!?

I am opening a coffeehouse next year. It will not only serve specialty coffees but also serve menu items as well. I will have a special menu for those on restricted diets. Some items will include brick-oven pizza, paninis, sandwiches, pastries, pies, ect. Local artists can rent out portions of the wall to hang artwork and sell. I am also an artist and will tutor kids's art classes and for one month once a year they will have an opportunity to hang their work and sell it. It will have a relaxed atmosphere during the day, and turn a bit more formal at night. A place lady can conduct a book club meeting or go to lunch. A place kids can work on homework after school. A place the elderly can go to grab thier early morning cup of joe. A place teenagers can go to chill in the evenings or take someone on their first date. It will have an outdoor area with a dancefloor and garden and overhead string lights for receptions. I will also host tiny acoustic concerts for local musicians. I know it will take alot of work, but I am strongwilled and know I have the capacity to do it. But, as potential custumers, have an idea for name? I need something short that rolls off the tongue. For instance... "Anybody wanna swing by __________ for a bite to eat? " or "Reception will be hosted at ______________" A place everyone can remember the name of.

She assumed that it was me that tore it up and she got really mad, but I close her up. I was even more hurt so with my ex, I decided to write her number on a cubicle in a libray and she also assumed it was me and called the police, but she let me off because they said she was OKAY with it, but I shouldn't do it again.

Resolved Question: How can Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Artists/Musicians in their own congregations, but accept, and .....?

How can Jehovah's Witnesses Reject Artists/Musicians in their possess congregations, but accept, and .....? and glorify worldly musicians and artists? I spent many years as a member of the WTBTS. We every have gifts from God...one of my gifts is musicianship. I found it interesting that live music, on the piano, or guitar was not only rejected in the kingdom halls, it was loathed. Over the years I made requests to perform for the "friends" at anniversary parties, and receive-togethers. My music is clean, much of it original, and because of constant practice, and thanks to God, my performances of high quality. The elders decided that "karaoke" music was more acceptable than "live" music, so I was told; "It's not a good idea" for you to offer your free services, as it might displease, or in some way "stumble" your brothers. The karaoke music that was played was either songs from crooners of the 40's or 50's, or it was rock, and mixed media music chosen by the grandchildren of the elders. My classical, and instrumental "pop" renditions of finger style guitar were considered "To relaxed" to entertain the friends...they wanted a quick, noisy beat for dancing, and for their teen members edification. Much of this music was the type with subliminal meanings, that the adults did not understand, but they accepted the rock-beat, disregarding the content. Then, my requests to become a "performing artist", were rejected by the elders because; "The world will eat you up, and how will you serve Jehovah to the full?. I had an early career as a guitar luthier, (guitar builder) and because the man who owned the guitar company was a well-know "Christian", I was encouraged not to peruse that occupation, but I should pursue gardening instead. As the years rolled by, and my windows of opportunity whisked by, I observed that in every congregation I attended, worldly musicians were glorified, and enjoyed by the witnesses, while they excluded their now members desires to become accomplished in that art field. Many of those worldly songs and lyrics are disgusting, and sexually oriented, and truly reprehensible. Today, there are many talented, morally aligned, and gifted artists amongst Jehovah's Witnesses, who are "re-directed" by the elder-body, to ignore their God-given gifts, and spend every of their time, "in service". Why does this "double-sided" agenda exist among Jehovah's Witnesses? Why is this Hypocrisy, and rejection predominant in their ranks? 1 hour ago - 1 week left to answer. Additional Details On a side note, every of the Jehovah's Witnesses who Are worldly musicians, are rock, or R&B musicians, most of their music and lyrics are distasteful, sexually oriented, and they spend the greater parts of their lives entertaining, not in "service".. *Michael Jackson *Prince * George Benson and many, many more. Pop and rock musicianship is promoted, but even their "kingdom songs" had to be "organization approved" taped music, and the only "live" kingdom music allowed, was at the N.Y. Watchtower Headquarters, where they could showcase their "talent" to interested parties, and to the "World". Why these Double Standards? Why the ruining, and waste of lives, of talented members? Live kingdom hall music is disallowed in Jehovah's Witnesses, and has been for decades. show me one hall where live piano and guitar is allowed, and let's concentrate on "quality" musicianship, not hip-hop. No original kingdom music is allowed, and if submitted to the TWBTS, it must be scrutinized before ever allowed in a KH. If you are a JW, and you have talents, or special abilities, do not expect them to be utilized for the kingdom work, unless you become a member after you are successful, then they will suck your bank account dry....using your talents. Michelle, when I was a JW, it was MY home of worship they made these partial rules by. The other "organized events" like anniversaries, school parties, etc. have to be "approved" by the elders, and attended by them to make sure everything is "clean and presentable". My point is that artists are not supported, or encouraged by this sect. Please re-read my question without a clouded perspective? Thanks. My point is the JW's do not support the arts...unless there is a payoff...donations, or association with worldly fame etc...This is not meant to "fascinate" anyone, but to reveal the purposes, and expose the motivations of the 8000 LbGorilla. Thanks Michelle. Angelmus...clear this up please...was he a performer prior to , or after becoming a JW? Does he ever "Play in the KH" as another members says? My experience is very different than those "raised" in the WTS, so there are "extenuating circumstances", I am sure...Music is just not played for the Cong. members anymore...it was 40 years ago... I also know of many "Karaoke" witnesses who have businesses playing lots of worldly music...much of it at the member's anniversary parties, etc. My point in this question, is that their is favoritism, and partiality shown to long-term members, 2nd and 3rd generation Witness families, and "higher-ups", and well-known performers with $....NOT the rank and file young members. Don't Worry Smiling JW...you will soon be asleep, and you won't be smiling! This story and question is very true. I don't care if you report a question you are too embarrassed to answer...it needed to be addressed, as do many other "anomalies" with the WTBTS. I make NO personal attacks here...I just defend my questions, and answer those that revile me. This story and question is very true. I don't care if you report a question you are too embarrassed to answer...it needed to be addressed, as do many other "anomalies" with the WTBTS. I make NO personal attacks here...I just defend my questions, and answer those that revile me. No, no personal glory Hadenough...I am totally disabled, and the music was my gift from God, stolen by a greedy publishing company...If God allows I will need to play for my last years to survive...they encouraged me to be a gardener, with 11 broken bones, and a leg that didn't work, instead of having "fellow feeling"...they were as dispassionate as every of you are. I will be singing a new tune ....

Resolved Question: HTML & CSS help - Categories Box / Link Positioning?

I'm currently trying to create a categories box, in this there will be links to the specified categories, HOWEVER, I have hit a road block and have been stuck on a CSS problem for quite some time today, this being the display of the links. I wish for the box to look something like the categories box Yahoo! Answers has, it is where I got my inspiration from, I have created a nice little box with a graphic shadow and title etc ONLY PROBLEM? The links are everywhere and not inline, if you look at the categories box on Yahoo! Answers, you will look that they are every inline going downwards A-Z and then in 4 sections, whereas mine, are everywhere in the box and are not inline and instead going horizontal rather than vertical. Any help with this? I currently have my 'simple' css and html coding like this. HTML:

CSS: #home_categories { position:relative; top:25px; left:25px; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#B8B8B8; width:650px; min-height:100px; background-image:url('/images/categories.png'); background-repeat:repeat-x; } #home_categories h3 { position:relative; top:10px; left:15px; font-size:18px; font-weight:bold; color:#000000; } #home_categories a { position:relative; top:30px; left:10px; margin-bottom:5px; font-size:12px; margin-right:25px; display:inline; } #home_categories a:link { color:#247cd4; text-decoration:none; } #home_categories a:visited { color:#247cd4; text-decoration:none; } #home_categories a:active { color:#247cd4; text-decoration:none; } #home_categories a:hover { color:#247cd4; text-decoration:underline; } Best Answer = Fixing it or at least sending me on my way to fixing it. Many thanks, I wish to help others so if you help me, feel free to post a link to your question(s). Thanks again! -Liam

Resolved Question: Am I the only one who thinks the US is kinda like a craphole?

I don't want to ask this in an offensive manner but I recently visited the US and it sucked big time! 1. immigration customs people at the airport are HORRIBLY RUDE..... it's like "thank you for letting me arrive into your country so I can spend MY MONEY in it" 2. American cities are very ugly, suburbia suburbia and more suburbia!!! then big box stores and highway and then more suburbia...... basically no one walks, everyone drives, how do you interact then? how do you meet other people? 3. their idea of a good restaurant is ruby tuesday or el torito mexican food.... basically CHAIN RESTAURANTS..... americans lack the culture of fine dining where you sit with friends and eat food prepared by a specific cook/granny/family with his/her/their possess secrets.... in america u go to taco bell for dinner or eat some average tasting meat at some boring texas themed restaurant and you're done! 4. working in america is horrible, you work more than anyone else in the world and you receive less benefits..... 5 days off per year.. WOW THAT'S SLAVERY!!! and many dont even receive health insurance from their billionare employers!!!! SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!!!! 5. Very pleasurable things many people elsewhere in the world find comforting like gardening, cooking, and so on are considered dirty jobs that only mexicans should do..... 6. they lack cultural appreciation...... it's painful because most cities lack cultural quarters, and the ones that have them like NY or SF are full of snobs.... basically being cultural in america equals being a snob....... it's not like elsewhere where the culture/bohemian areas are populated by struggling normal people who find a way out in art. 7. they claim to be party people, open minded but everyone cares about other's races, race is a basic everyday part of living..... everyone walks around telling you how irish, italian, german, african, mexican they are.... YET THEY ARE every AMERICANS.... AND EVERYONE OUTSIDE THE USA SEES THEM AS JUST AMERICANS! and of course you can't drink until you're 21, most nightclubs close at 2am and at 11pm they have last call for alcoholc hehehehehehe so much for a party crazy people huh? 8. police are HORRIBLY ABUSIVE! To continue number 8, in america u go to jail easier than in other countries.... in other countries for things you would receive a slap on your wrist in america you'd go to jail for five years!

Just tell me what you think. Grammars off because Im on my phone. Also, would first person be better? ********* Thalia shrank down in her seat as her mothers toyota carolla pulled into the immaculate gardens of Maryfield Prep. She reached down and played with her backpack, the soft grey fur of totoro comforting her. Anime was like a drug, she thought, taking a strand of brown hair and chewing on it. She certainly loved the japanese art, with her wallet, pencil case and backpack every designed to look like totoro from the anime "my neighbour totoro". She knew she'd stick out here- it was a school for the talented offspring of geniuses, and she'd only gotten in through scholarship.Besides, with her dad, and her older sister, it would be worse. Urgh, this WOULD be difficult.

Resolved Question: Advice on how to start my story?

Should I keep the beginning like this: Gram says I’m an ocean girl at heart, and that is true. I have lived most of my fourteen years on Reverie Island, which is not much more than a pear-shaped island roasting in a green spot along the Long Island Sound. To tourists it’s a caboodle of gift shops, lighthouses, seafood restaurants, and beaches where you rode the ferry to receive there on a blistery summer day. But to me, and certainly to Gram, who had lived there for eight-four years, meant so much more. Just over three months ago, not long after an occurrence known as The Lillian Hobbs Incident, my mom plucked my grandma, me, and every our belongings (no, that’s not true, we did not bring the inn, the garden, or the sand, which every belonged to us) like ragweed sprouting up in her garden to a rental home in New London, Connecticut. “No ocean?” I said. “This is where we’re going to live?” “Yes,” my mom said. “But it’s only temporary.” Temporary. I sounded out the needle-pointed word in my head, each syllable at a time. I wondered exactly what she meant by this-was my life in Reverie every temporary to her, too? The door opened and a blonde lady in a turquoise suit stood there. I looked up and down the road. The victorian houses were every jammed together like rows of shoeboxes in a messy closet. In front of each home was a tiny square of grass that wasn’t enough to keep a cow alive for five minutes. “Where are the lighthouses?” I whispered as my mom waved to the lady. “Hannah’s farm? The Art home?” “Oh, Auden,” My mom sighed. “arrive on, you know this is what we have to do. And you still have the relax of the school year.” “We have to go back. I forgot something.” “We’re going back, Auden,” She hissed. “You know we have to visit grandma at the hospital. She’s not doing so well.” I thought of my grandma laying still in a bed so big she could receive lost in, the sheets rising and falling with each bated breath. “In the back of my closet,” I said, “below the floorboards. I put something there, and I’ve got to have it, before it’s too tardy.” “Don’t be a goose. I have to talk to the realtor, so start talking boxes out of the car.” I did not want to take the boxes out of the car. I did want to look fragments of my life shoved together like cattle in boxcars. Not long ago, I started prying away at the loose wooden floorboard of my closet in Reverie shortly after Grandma’s accident one April afternoon. The inn was an old building that my mom and grandma had been restoring, room by room. Each night as I waited to hear from grandma, I pulled and pulled and pulled away at that stubborn floorboard until it broke loose. Inside it was a stack of thick, monogrammed stationery with matching envelopes. The nice that gram always used. I fished it out and read the front. Reverie Island, 23 Comfort Road Lillian Hobbs Frankfurt, Germany u.S. Station Jack Thomas My heart stopped. Jack Thomas was my grandfather who I knew nothing of. For some reason, I felt afraid. It’s like I was split down the middle and one half of me wanted to open it more than I’ve ever wanted to do anything. The other half was so scared. I couldn’t cease shaking, so I placed it on the dusty floor to keep from crinkling it. Did she hide it here? Did she want me to find it? I stare at it forever, and then place it back in the floorboard. Not today, I thought. But now I needed to know the story behind those letters. Before she leaves. The reason that my grandma’s story reminds me of the letters in the closet is that beneath her story was another one. Mine. Or, a) start the story off with her finding the letters. b) Have her start with The Lillian Hobbs Incident. Thanks.

Im looking for solid and lasting partnership. She was aware of this, also like she was aware of my previous escapades with men...thus far, we receive along perfectly, the sex is good, etc... She wants to move three states away to transfer to another college because her foster mom "suggested" that this city isnt best for her. She already goes to a prestigious university, has a promising career in culinary arts in a renowned fine dining establishment within walking distance of my home and then there's me taking good care of her. Why the hell would she leave ? It would seem foolish and ridiculous to me. Our neighborhood is decent despite it being a dangerous city. Im setting up my finances to purchase a home in the coming year, an going back to school. So what more can I do to make it a prettier picture ? Im not comfortable with the relationship having an expiration date or being,treated like a "temporary contract arrangement of convenience." I desire and require unity of longevity and authenticity and I dont want to cease her from leaving or attempt to...however, I want to avoid exploitation or the feeling of such. Also, what then ? Do I gravitate towards men again ? I gave up on men because im so disgusted at my experiences, so just how easy is it to finish aborting my homosexuality ? Im not even attracted to men any more.
