I am applying for a job at clothing store, and on the application it asks why I am applying for this position. The honest answer is because I need the money, but I know you're not supposed to say that on applications. So what should I say instead? Thank you. (link)
if its a big, nationwide famous store, say that its "well established" and you want to "build up on your customer service experience". Thats what i usually put. Seems to work Hope i helped :)


As the years have gone on I've noticed that my left foot is larger than my right foot. When I was younger it didn't seem to be that much of a problem but now I can feel that shoe being too small while the right shoe fits just right. I don't know if I should be seeing a doctor about this because I'm afraid it's some sort of freakish deformity (and I just don't know about going through surgery). I haven't said anything to my mom about it either.

How should I go about buying shoes now that I've noticed this problem? Two shoes of the same size is simply not going to cut it because I get blisters and raw spots on my left foot now. I'm afraid if I wear a size too large on my rgith foot that the same problem will happen with it and leave ugly marks. Please, help me figure this out! (link)
its perfectly normal- i have the same problem, but not as bad as what you describe. What i do is this: my left foot is size 12, my right 11.5. I put one of them odour eater, shoe sole things in the right shoe, and so because of this, my foot sits higher, which makes the show space smaller. Hope i helped :)


I have an iPhone 3GS and I want to know if there is a way to play the sound from my videos when I am not in the iPod app? Like for example if I am watching a movie and I wanted to continue to hear the movie when I push the home button, as it does when you are playing music. Is it possible to do this? (link)
no unfortunately its not. I looked so hard for an answer when i wanted to listen a song, but only had the music video, and everyone said its not possible!

i have an essay where i have to compare a contemporary figure to a character in macbeth. i picked chris brown because he had a great career and now hes ruined because of the rihanna incident. i'm assuming it'd be easiest to compare to macbeth himself, so all i can think of is that they were both great people/role models before but now they're considered bad and dangerous.
so if anyone has read macbeth or knows anything about it.. i would LOVE for you to help me throw around some ideas/comparisons to chris brown. thank you thank you thank you! (link)
I dont know much about chris brown, but i do understand what macbeth is based on: its the classical greek story. In acient greece, there would be a few general idea's that stories would be based on, and these would be performed as plays. Macbeth plays on the classic Fall of a hero character. It goes like this:
- A man, isnt all that great
- Somehow, he reaches the top of his 'field'
- However, he has ONE flaw, that he cannot control, and this is eventually the fall of him, where he goes from everything he could have, to nothing, and usualy dies because of this.

Using this outline, you could research Brown easily, or even pick someone else who suits this profile better. Hope i helpd :)


I live alone with my dad and have since I was a baby. My mom died in a freak accident of sorts and so it's just been me and my dad all of these years. We get along great! The problem is that I started to have my period and I am going to need some pads (my friend gave me a few of hers to get me by for a couple of days). I know I should tell my dad so that he knows about it but I don't know what to say to him that isn't embarrassing for us both. How do I tell my single-father that I've started having periods? (link)
i found you the following on http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/pq_girls/dad_talk.html:
You'll be happy to hear that we have received similar questions from dads who are nervous about talking to their daughters! Chances are your dad knows that you might have questions and concerns about body changes. As for how to start the conversation, the first step is finding a good time. If you have brothers and sisters, you might want to find a few minutes when you can talk to your dad alone. It might be as simple as saying, "Dad, I need to buy some supplies at the store because I might get my period soon."

You both might be a little embarrassed, but also relieved because you will have raised the topic finally. It should get easier from there. For instance, your supplies will become just regular items on the shopping list. You also might suggest that your dad buy you a book about puberty. You also can find these at the library. Funny as it might sound, dads do know what periods are! But if you have questions you'd rather ask a girl, consider talking to girls or women you are close to, such as an aunt, grandmother, or older cousin.
Hope i helped :)


I am very good at "proof-reading" written material. I did this in college for a few friends and, eventually, when I became an English tutor. I know that people have many people look over their writing before having it published so I was curious if there was a way to actually become someone that does that for a living. What would the job-title be and how would I find something along that line of work? (link)
i googled "becoming a proofreader", suprisingly, there were lots of results. This one seemed good:

http://www.ineedsomespace.com/money/money_advice/freelance/money_free_06.html

i think its called freelancing? that what alot of the results show up?

Also, an editor? Thats what they do right? proofreading? Hope i helped :)


My friend said she went to the movies over the weekend and saw the preview to the newest upcoming Twilight movie. I haven't read the books or anything (my mom won't let me) so I don't know if the "series" has been finished but is there a third movie coming out based on the books by Stephenie Meyer? When would it be showing? And where can I see the trailer or preview to the newest Twilight movie? (link)
indeed there is (unfortunately for me..i hate them all..but diffrent strokes diffrent strokes eh?)

its called "eclipse". Its going to be released on the 30th june 2010 for the USA. 9th July for the UK. Basically, whatever country you are in (i assume its the USA), it will be around that time, with germany being the last on 15th july. Hope i helped :)

p.s apparently theres 4 books allready out, so i assume "breaking dawn" will come out after eclipse. But she is now working on "midnight sun"...so i assume they'll be a movie on that. I think we're all in for another harry potter style thing, where they release a million different books and movies. Happy watching :)


Let's say I bought something on Ebay, but didn't want it anymore. Is it legal for me to sell it on Ebay again? I already looked at their site and couldn't find the rules for that. (link)

I saw Remember Me with Robert Pattinson in it this weekend. Great movie/ Well I am in french class, and I know that there is a part where he is speaking a tiny bit of french by his sister caroline. well i know that he says Mon dieu! (which is my god), and "French toast" in a french accent but what is teh other thing that he is saying? i could never figure out what someone is saying when they say that phrase.

for those in french it kind of sounds like jacques les blues. but i know thats not what it is. thanks.; (link)
courtesy of wikipedia:

Sacrebleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger.

In French, sacrebleu or sacredieu is always written as one word without accent, the 'e' in the middle being pronounced like a faint and short 'eu' (ə). In English, the phrase is often written with two words: sacre bleu and in Dutch Goefeuchtebleu.

The expression is today no longer used in the major French-speaking countries France, Belgium or Switzerland, but in the English-speaking world, it is well known from Agatha Christie's books about the fictional Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.



Assuming Sacrebleu is the term you are refering to. Hope i helped :)

Does anyone know where I can buy a Double Decker Bus from... particularly in the Illawarra/Sydney area?

Please help. (link)
You want to buy a double decker bus? As in, the transport system? if so, then i googled "double decker bus for sale" and here it is (i used google.com.au):
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=double+decker+bus+for+sale&meta=&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=double+decker+&gs_rfai=

Theres tonnes there, so i cant really give you an exact website. If you are not talking about a bus as in the transport system, then god knows who can help. But also, im curious as to why you want one? because if its a one time thing, they're much easier to hire than buy? Google "double decker bus for hire". You've probabaly allready tried google-ing, but this questions been up for ages, so i though id give answering it a shot.

Girder under first floor is 6x12 inches (4planks) and 46 ft long, supported by 5 standard teleposts (jacks), rated at 8,000 lbs loading, spaced a little over 7 ft apart. Girder ends sit on concrete foundation wall. At one end there are 20 foot clear-span beams under the second story floor and under the roof. Consequently, telepost #3 in the basement is also supporting half the load of the 20 ft beams. What should be the ball-park capacity of this third telepost: at least 16,000 lbs rating? (link)

How tall will I become? I am 206 cm. tall and I am at the age of 17. (link)
Males usually stop growing at 16-18 years of age. I assume you are male, but if you are female, you wil usually stop growing at 16years of age. If you are desperate to know you can get an X-ray called a “bone age” which can show if you’re fully mature (that is, have finished growing). There are numerous growth plates in bones (areas where growth takes place). These growth plates close or stop growing in a very orderly fashion. And there are tables that allow a radiologist to very accurately measure someone’s bone age or stage of maturation. If the plates are all closed then no more growth is possible.
