what are some low cost ways that i can make some money since im unemployed and how to go about it. any ideals would be appreciated. thanks for your help. dolphinnut25 (link)

if you have access to a computer, you can do work online. Like jobs straight from your home. Or take online surveys and get paid. If you google different online survey companies, most of them will pay you just for taking a five minute survey.
Good luck in the future, I hope I was of some help to you!

Well, I asked a similar question not too long ago, but I have done some research & come up with a more specific question. A guy that I don`t know very well likes me (it`s just obvious) & we have hung out twice - note: we know eachother from classes at school, but hadn`t talked for a long time. The first time we hung out was on the beach at night (just us) and the other time watching a movie alone in my room. Quite 'close' situations I suppose.
I have been reading a bit about "friends with benefits" (no intention of having sex with him, ever) and "romantic friendships" (male/female, not same sex). It`s summer and I wouldn`t mind some combination of those two concepts. However, I was advised earlier that this may 'break his heart' - we hardly know eachother, I`d certainly hope that he doesn`t like me THAT much.
I have decided that communication will be important since I must be sending awfully mixed signals to him. How can I bring up the topic that I am starting to like him but am not looking for a serious relationship? His past relationships have been quite long (over a year, times two?) so I don`t know if he`d even feel comfortable with that idea.
I will be seeing him on Monday again but I`m not sure if that`s even an appropriate time to begin talking seriously about things. I want my intentions to be known sooner than later though so there isn`t any confusion. Thanks for the insight! =) (link)

I have a similar situation going on like that right know. If you don't have feelings for some on, and you do encouage him to hang out and talk to him he may really begin to like you. I told the guy that likes me he is a great friend, he still has the idea were bf/g/f so I would suggest to just be open and honest with your feelings. If hes hurt, its better to be hurt now then before too many feelings get involved. Ask him what he feels, and tell him in turn openly and honestly what your feeling. Thatll be easier then waiting til later on. Trust me.
All the best!

I was just wondering if it is possible to be Bipolar if you have no real manic times, you just go from being seriously depressed to feeling normal. Your mood is a lot different, but it isn't elated. If not, what disorder(s) could this be?
Thanks! :) (link)

Everyone gets depressed sometimes. If you are a girl, the depression may have to do with your period. Your hormones, can have emotional and mental affect on you. If you are depressed for more than 2 weeks it can be clinical depression aka Bipolar. If not its just your hormones activating around your period.
Usually when you are Bipolar you will be in this like trance. Like unaware of everyone. And that mood can be constant up to 2 weeks, also you can be violent and act out. If this is not the case then you are not bipolar.
Also if you have something going on family related or something is bothering you, this can cause depression. And it will get better with time.
I hope this helps and things work out for you!

Hey, I love acting too. The best advice I can give you is to call around to different theatres in your area, and see when they are having open call auditions, that means anyone can audition. Also, get representation, by joining an agency. They can help you get local jobs, and when your ready you can go to EXPO in Dallas. Also, your agency can get you to places in New York, and Los Angelos.
Good Luck :D
Let me know if you have anyother questions.

okay i absouloutly LOVE the show Summerland. i usually watch it every night at 8 on theN, but thats not enough. (i know, im addicted) no my questions:
•does any place sell summerlands dvds or something like that. that i cud get on ebay?
•are there any sites where i could watch full episodes?
thank you sooooo much
(link)
| |
Hey thats like my favorite show too. I love Jesse McCartney! lol. you can go on the n.com to read cast bios and stuff like that. I'm not sure where the dvds are sold though.

Okay well as of 6.23.08 I have my first real boyfriend! Yes I am ver exited and all that. But im scared of what my mom will say. How can i tell her? I want her to know so that i can go over his house and go places with him, its kind of hard to do that if she dont know were im going. So what can I do??? (link)
|
Congratualtions! Honestly, just be honest with your mom. I have a friend who lied to her mom for eight months over her last b/f and she ended up being grounded for 9 months. No joke. Her mom basically excluded her from society. Trust me you don't want that.
I bet your mom will be happy for you, you never know if you don't try.
Plus, your mom will respect your maturity and honesty, and you just might get even more privelges.
Good Luck with everything!!

So I just started a new theater camp, and my fellow cast members seem like so much fun! I really want to hang out with them, but I dont know how to approach them. I kinda just watch them have fun and laugh with them... but I want to be included, you know? Does anyone have any good advice of how to bond with them cause I have to say I'm pretty funny, and I think they would enjoy my company, but Im just a tad bit shy. btw, we are all in high school. Thanks! (link)
| |
Hey well I can think of one thing you all have in common. You all like theater so just walk over and talk to them. Just introduce yourself. If their talking about something, think of something you know to add to the convo. Maybe you can ask them something about themselves. Don't be shy and just sit there, b/c you may be really missing out on getting to know them as friends. You can't recycle time, once its gone its gone, so don't waste it just go talk to them. Have confidence, b/c that will help you overcome any kind of shyness. I promise.

so me and my guy friend are best friends. he liked me in 7th grade and then again earlier this year. i liked him too but we never told each other. he has this on again off again girlfriend who he went out with and broke up with nine times. so him and his girl had been broken up for about 2 months, she had another boyfriend so i finally decided to tell my guy that i liked him once again and i had heard through a mutual friend that he liked me again. so i told him and he informed me that his ex girlfriend had called him the day before to let him know that she was breaking up with her current boyfriend and wanted to give their relationship another shot....(as if the first 9 times didnt make it clear that it doesnt work out). so he said "i know you would make an amazing girlfriend and i like you but i want to try it with her one more time". so he's currently going out with his ex....AGAIN. who only causes him misery and since im the best friend i get to hear him complain about her all the time. now i really really REALLY like him and his parents think i "fit in the family" which means a lot to me. now we all know that this relationship isnt going to last and hes going to break up with his girlfriend for the thousandth time and he's already called me saying "i cant believe i went out with her again when i had a much better option" and then in the middle of that phone conversation his girlfriend called. i got put on hold and then when he answered the phone again him and his girlfriend had stopped fighting and everything was good again. he says he wants to be with me but he doesnt want me to wait around for him because he would feel guilty and greedy for wanting me to do that. basically hes the most amazing friend and i know that he would be an amazing, caring boyfriend.
ok that was part one of my problem.
part two.
so he says not to wait around for him...so maybe i wont. ok so my uncle's girlfriend and my mom are really good friends. my uncle's girlfriend has been trying to set me up with her grandson all my life. he's the same age as me, tall dark and handsome, smart, oh yeah..and his dad owns an island. we had a playdate once when we were about six years old where we had an accident with a hammock and i ended up with a black eye...casued by him but he felt really bad. other than that i havent seen or talked to him except for today...when i saw him in the dentist's office and i have to say i was impressed. it would make both our families incredibly happy if we got together but i've never really had a conversation with him. i added him on facebook but im not sure that he knows who i am but i have thousands of connections to this kid.
so do i sit around and wait for a guy who has loved me for years(this could take anywhere from 2 weeks to 5 months) or do i try and start something new with this kid??
sorry this turned out so long. (link)
|
I think you should try things with the other kid. Your best friend will always be there and if it is meant to be, it'll happen. Just give it time. But honestly, don't wait aorund. Try to get to know the other kid. You told you best friend how you feel. The ball is in his court, let him decide whats more important, andother heart break or true love. You have plenty of time to find love. The best advice I can give you is to listen to your heart, and don't ever settle for something that doesn't feel right.
All the best

Hey, so me and my friend slept over this guys house the other night. Well the next day [like th day i woke up at his house] my town had this carnival so I walked up to him and I was like Hey! and he was just like Heyy. and We walked away from eachother..whats wrong with me? like what did i do to piss him off. (link)
|
Hey, I don't think you did anything to piss him off. Was it awkward? If so that maybe why he walked away, he may not have been totally sure what to say to you. Sometimes guys do that. Its kinda their thing.
If you see this guy again. Just talk to him the way you normally talk to a friend. I doubt you did anything, so don't read to much into it.
And there is nothing wrong with you, don't worry.
If you need anything else, feel free to email me.
I hope this works out for you!

14/f im going on a movie date tonight, our first one acctual and I need tips :) whats cute, whats attractive. What would be an appropiate movie for us to see tonight. We've hung out alot so a kiss wouldnt be out of the question so all tips and advice would be great!! (link)
|
Congratualtions on your movie date!
First of all, I would say to dress as you normally would. If you don't wear skirts then don't wear it tonight. The idea is that you want to be yourself. If you don't wear make up, but want to, be subtle. Less is more so don't chunk it on, its not attractive, I'm always being told I wear too much. So trust me, I know.
Anyways, second of all, just relax, a kiss is a very private very personal thing, especially your first. So don't rush into it or anything. Take your time, if its meant to happen it will. And this may sound stupid but when you go to kiss, don't open your mouth too much. Go for his bottom lip. okay?
Good luck with everything tonight! I hope its fun and memorable for you!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I'm not sure which category is appropriate but what does the phrase "Two olives short of a martini" or "A few tacos short of a combo" really mean?
Thanks (link)
|
It means the person isn't all there mentally.
Also, a brick short of a full load.
The malls open but no one is shopping.
Those are some other ones.

So, I used to be like a real girly girl. Like I wore all abercrombie and bright makeup. But Im starting to like the dark look now. Not like Gothic but like just black clothes. Im wearing ALOT of black makeup, my nails are black and My myspace has changed to all black and an intense song. I am pretty happy with this change but the only problem is my clothes. They are still all abercrombie and I don't like it. So does anyone know a good store that has like alot of black clothes? I don't want like black chains and all that, Cause I don't wanna go too intense. Like Just regular black Fashionable clothes? Thank you (link)

Aeropostale has some cut shirts. So does Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Papaya, Belk may have stuff. And Kohls does too, especially if there having a sale day.
Good Luck!

I really badly want to learn to play the guitar. I thought I would start off learning with an acoustic guitar. But I have some questions...
1) If you know how to play the acoustic guitar can you automatically be able to play an electic guitar? (By that I mean like the guitars you see rock bands like Bon Jovi, Buckcherry, and Coldplay using)
2) I'm left-handed. I know I will have to get a special guitar to play. But I will need to take lessons and if the instructor is right-handed can he still teach me? If so, will it be hard for him to teach me? Or should I just find a left-handed instructor?
3) What are like the best kind of guitars? Cost is not an issue so please give me the best you can think of.
4) What kind of accesories will I need for my new guitar? (ex. guitar pick, carrying case, strap...?)
5) Can you give me some links to good begginer guitars?
Thank you in advance! (link)
|
Hi I have a guitar too, mine is first act and it works pretty good. Gibson is a good guitar too. I am having trouble playing guitar too, but that is b/c I am so used to playing the piano.
It shouldn't matter that your left handed. The instructor should be able to teach you, and yeah you should get a few picks and a carrying case. That strap is needed only if you want to play while your standing. For me its easier to sit and play. Also get the First Act beginner book, it teaches you all the chords. Its really helpful, but you may still need an instructor, so he can help you with where to put your fingers and how to tune in the guitar.

This woman I work with is "sort of" my superior (i work for an employee owned company) and I tried being friends with her but do not like her. Everything she does at work is so backwards and the truth is before I went on a one year leave, I had her position and did it 100 times better. (anyone would agree so I am not just being conceited). Lately it has been so bad though that she snaps at work over the slightest thing and freaks out on me and another worker. she talks bad about everyone and is generally unpleasant. I cannot stand going to my job I would normally like because of her. I posted a question about this situation a few months back and mostly heard that I should find a new job. I make twice as much here as I would somewhere else so that is not an option. I have considered asking to move to another crew, but she would find out and really that would NOT be good, also there probably isnt a space for me elsewhere at the moment. Any advice would help, thanks (link)
|
It sounds like she is snapping because of the pressure. Maybe people tell her that you can do it so much better than she can. The best thing I can tell you is don't find a new job, thats running from the problem, you really should just sit down and talk to her. Ask her if everythings okay, and when your not busy ask her if you can help her a little bit with her workload. Maybe she really needs someone who will help her w/ her job a little bit.
I think in time we have all worked with someone who is unpleasant or are about too, but just do the best you can at your job, you seem really good at it, and next time she snaps at you, just close the door, and ask if she needs help w/ her work, or would like to talk.

my memory sucks. i'm really smart, but i can't remember anything. please tell me some memory exercises to help me improve. btw. i'm thinking about making a memory book, you know like a diary but instead i'll write about things i want to remember like special moments and hilarious sayings and things like that.. i don't want to depend upon this book to remember or my friends.. please help. (link)
|
The book actually sounds like a good idea.
Also, if you associate memories with things it can trigger your memory. For instance, my freshman year of highschool I wore the Curious perfume by Brittney Spears everyday. And whenever I smell it, I remember something about my freshman year. I know that sounds completely absurd, but it is so true. I psychologically associated the smell of the perfume to freshman year, and I can remember a lot from it.
You may wanna try it, it could help
Good Luck with everything!

Well i've liked this guy forever, And I am pretty sure he liked me too. We always flirted like non stop. But now summer is coming and I can tell we are trying to keep in contact with eachother (it's hard considering he doesn't have a phone) Anyway We talked online EVERYDAY Since schools let out. Then one night, I imed him and I was like "Omg joshh!" And he was like "yo" And then I was like "Omg, I just watched the scariest movie and I'm home alone and freaking out" And he was like "cool" And i was like "not really" And then he just signed off. It was so odd, he's never like that and he always says bye to me and i figured he would be there for me or something. So I just thought to myself, 'okay I don't know what i did for him to act like that so when he is ready to talk I will let him I/M me next time' Well, We haven't talked in 8 days because he Hasn't imed me. Honestly, he used to always i/m me until that ONE NIGHT I IMED HIM! What the heck did i do? And what the heck do i do?! help! Thanks so much (link)
| |
Honestly, it sounds like somethings going on, but it probably isn't you. Guys are weird if you notice, one day they act happy to see you, then the next day they act like you don't exist. I wouldn't worry about him, but listen to your heart, if you think something is wrong, push him to see what it is. He may like you a lot, and may be scared. Guys often take the emotionally inarticulate route, by not saying things. So don't take it personally, and don't worry. Next time your on, if your wondering about him, just say like "How are you?" That can lead to what really may be bothering him, if there is something bothering him.

ok so i like this guy and today we were on the bus together. (not school bus, i live in england so we were on the red kinda bus :P)
he was sitting downstairs in the back and i was standing at the door and was about to go off. i looked at him and he looked back at me smiling a little (but he always smiles so i dno if that meant smth) then i thought maybe i should look at himn one mor etime before i go off and then this girl came downstairs and he was looking at HER.
so i was a bit dissapointed because i thought he fancys me since he notices me alot in school.
i dno if him looking at at her meant smth so i'm jzst asking, would a guy look at a interesting looking girl even if the girl he really fancies is standing next to her?
(sorry if im making a big deal, and dont tell me that, just answer my question :/)
thankss :] (link)
|
The best thing I can tell you to do is to ask. Don't jump to conclusions or just assume. If you think he likes you, talk to him see what his interests are. If he likes the other girl,oh well, at least you tried, ya know. But its hard to tell if he likes her, your best bet would to find out by getting to know him.
And if he does like you, don't waste any time, go for it, because you'll always kick yourself if you don't.
Best of luck with everything!

Well my boyfriend of a year & 3 months broke up with me on june 1st. It's been so hard because he's my first love & im f/15 . We have been through so much together , He just turned 16 in april. Well ever sence march our relationship kind of went down hill slowly but surley. He started going behind my back , hanging out with girls & not telling me or them coming over to his house , i would always get a call whenever it happend because he lives in a big neighborhood so things got around real fast! He said it was so stressful but i mean HE brought it on himself , he was the one doing wrong i did everything for him , i love him with all my heart & i was his first love too. It's like he's a COMPLETE differnt person than when we first started dating , it didnt change till like 4 or 5 months ago ? He actslike he doesnt care or anything , & he broke up with me the wee k he got his lisence [ idk if that makes any sence ]. but its been TOUGH on me , i cry all the time & im just starting to eat right again & get my weight up . Idk what to do , everytime we start to talk agan & try to be friends , somthing always comes up & i get hurt again. Help please (link)
|
I'm so sorry you got your heart broken. I would love to tell you that it will never happen again, but this would be a lie. It sounds like your doing a little better then when you started, eating again. The best thing I can tell you is to sort out your feelings, maybe write them down, maybe even write a song. It'll be very cathartic, emotionally purging, and that will help seal some of the wounds. Also, time heals all wounds, I know you just want the hurt to be over. Its gonna take some time. Trust me, I've been hurt a time or two, and I can tell you, it does get easier with time, and maybe a little chocolate ice cream. Your story reminds me a little bit of Chris Daughtry's song "over you" at least the chorus, anyway. You may wanna listen to it, it may help. I would honestly tell you, that what you had with him is so intense, you cannot go back to being just friends, at least now anyways. Give it time...
Anyways, I really hope everything works out.
If you need anything, just let me know

15/f
my parents are so strict,
i dont know what to do to change it.
i got 2 a's on my report card and the rest b's and tehre mad. they dont want me to have a bf cause im "too young", even though everyone else has one. and the other day i couldnt sleepover at my friends cause my mom didnt know her, except fro teh fact she saw her late at night with guys.
they suspect i go out and drink, or they think i hang around wtih people that do(but they do)but they know im responsible, like they dont trust me at all! like they dont want me to drink at all, even thought i KNOW they did when they were my age. there so strict and its not like they just get over it, like if i had a boyfriend theyd go tell all my aunts uncles and there friends, so its pretty intimidating too. i dont know what to do cuase its not fair, i wanna go out and stuff but there so strict about everything like drinking, boys, and grades. i know theyre just watching out but still im 15 and i wanna have fun! and 2 a's and the rest b's isnt bad!
its driving me nuts and there pissing me off!
PLEASE HELPPPPPPP!!! (link)
|
You know what, I had to laugh, this reminds me so much of my life when I was 15. The best advice I can give you, is instead of yelling "You don't trust me" or "I hate you" I would tell you to tell them exactly how you feel, but say it as maturely as possible.
And if you do have friends that drink, its not you they don't trust, its your friends. Believe me I learned after years of my mom and I not getting along of silly stuff like this. As you get older, this stuff becomes less and less important. I promise.
And just to give you an example, I had a best friend growing up, she and I did everything together. We went out with our 2 guy friends to the bowling alley, well my mother drove away and hid behind the trees. Yeah, complete embarassing, b/c they saw her. Well it just so happens that the bowling alley was closed so she gave the 4 of us a ride to the movies. There were all these guys around, and my best friend went with them and my mom wouldn't let me go. I cried the whole way home I was so angry, and embarassred and hurt. I yelled "how come you don't trust me????" well she explained it was my best friend she didn't trust, not me.
And to conclude, my best friend, who always made some not-so-great decisions, ended up pregnant her junior year of high school.
I'm not saying you will, I'm just saying to look at things from your parents point of view sometimes, all they want is your best interest, you'll realize it someday, I'm glad I did.
