Open Question: I Feel Stupid Asking This, But Was This Guy Flirting or Friendly? 10PTS?

Last Thursday was the last day of one of my university courses. Afterwards me and a group of ppl celebrated by going to lunch. There's one guy in the group, 'Nick' stares at me a lot in class, and complimented my writing a few times, saying it was his favorite. A girl friend of mine in class said he liked me/wanted to get to know me but i'm so quiet. Nick and I only spoke about 3 times after that, because I'd avoid him out of shyness. He initiated the convos and it was always awkward cuz I ruin things by being noticeably nervous/stuttering, etc. Anyway yesterday was the most we've ever spoken and I'm starting to wondering if he's interested in me, or just wants to be friends. He has a gf, so it MUST be friendship he's after. Please give me your opinion. - on the way to lunch Nick walked beside me. He told me he said "hi" in class earlier but I "had my headphones in and was looking down, plus I sit so far away." (He's mentioned that I sit far from him twice now. -_-) - in the restaurant he sat beside me, even though there were other empty chairs - he asked me what I thought he should order because he "trusts my opinion" - he asked me about my business (i run a shop with my sister) and said it was cool that we owned our own store - asked me about my hometown (we live in different cities) - Nick asked me if i liked videogames and what kind, so i started listing some. We got interrupted by others, so he asked me again. Trying to find common ground I guess. - he invited our friends out this friday and then asked if i wanted to come too. When I said I work Friday, he was like "You work on Friday?" Like he didn't believe me, I forgot it's a holiday. lol - one of my friends randomly said that I dress really well, and "look cool" and he agreed. - at the end of the lunch i left first and gave my two girl friends hugs. Nick quickly stood up to hug me goodbye, and hugged me pretty tight. Then mentioned that he works at a Game Shop so he could get me discounts. (He offered to buy the games I want for me and we could meet up) more

Open Question: Can someone help me plz?

I'm very unhappy with my life and I don't understand it. Sometimes I really think if you got an x ray of me there wouldn't be a heart organ. I feel like I literally have nothing left to lose. I lost my brother about 4 years ago when he went to school, my mom is sick, my dad is always working, my best friend laced my drugs with stuff and became someone completely different... I could go on. There is nobody left. Nobody is here for me. I'm always on drugs.... When I wake up, after school, before bed.... Repeat. I've had addiction problems for years and could never get off them. I could but always got back on them. I never had any help though. Im just an addict -- shopping, drugs, used to be food when i was like 12 i was bulimic thenands training g 20 hours a week, 5 hrs and 4 days. I have really good grades nonetheless. I don't look like a druggy, I stil have my looks. Im good at gymnastics. I coach.I have a lot of money, but hardly a dad. Im lucky to sleep a few hours a night. I'm always lying and acting like I'm fine. I have dpd. A lot of my Problems are due to stress and anxiety. I can't cope. I'm sorta dating this business guy living in a big city, we talk and skype... And he has a nice apartment... I'll probably sleep with him so that I have somebody. I have really. Weird intuition... I meditate and I could sometimes feel energy... I'm really spiritual. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep. Sometimes when I try to sleep it feels like I'm awake and dreaming at the same time, sometimes I wake up during rem and am completely paralyzed, or parts of my body will fall asleep and I end up almost breaking something. The drugs I'm on are opiates, when I get off them, I'm going to be really sick. My body lives off endorphins now. I dont like mental health care, I just believe in physical health care. I went to the psychiatrists before, and he said I might have paranoid schizophrenia. That happened about the same time someone was messing with my drugs. I never believed it. Though, when I went to toronto and my dad said some of the bums on the street used to be really smart, I broke down and cried... Thinking if I had schizophrenia and ended up like that his grandma and cousin killed themselves from it. I really can't open up to people. It's because of what I know... What I've been through, I am only a product of my environment. Sometimes I think about killing my self... I want to go to a big city, find some heroin, find a hotel, put on my gymnastics grips, write a note saying all you need is love... Overdosing and dying a fast, painless, blissful death. Then all the pain will go away and they'll just be love.... And then I'll reincarnate again one day. It will then all be okay. This life so insignificant. I know I'm going to die young... So mb I'll wait until my liver or lungs or heart, or one of my abused organs fails me..... Help me understand what my problem is? more

Open Question: How do I get productive in my business?

I have a business plan written out. I have made a schedule that gives me a good hour or two a day to make my goods. I have done research on the laws in my state for getting a license, EIN, etc. But something is stopping me from getting the ball rolling. It's not lack of money (I have a recycling based crafting idea which doesn't cost much). It's not procrastination (I stay focused on this and really commit to sitting down and spending time on it). There is just SOMETHING missing. If I had to guess, I'd say that I have SO MANY IDEAS for products but I'm not sure which one to focus on...Since everything is recycled, I have nothing but one-of-kind pieces and I think I'm afraid to accidentally waste my best material on the wrong project. I'm also afraid of creating something so genius that the idea will be stolen by someone smarter and I will be helpless since I can't afford patents/copyrights/etc. And, lastly, not feeling smart enough to make something people will actually want gets me into this cycle of finishing a whole line of items and then locking it away because the products don't seem "good enough". What can I do? I have couple of hours to work with right now and I really don't want to waste it on JUST doing more research like I always do. more

I want to learn more Korean. I can read and write Hangul fluently. I know 5% of the daily usage of Korean in daily life and I want to know how to learn.

IIII- I can speak Filipino and English. IIIII- My birthday is tomorrow. more

Resolved Question: Could someone please edit or give opinions on this bit from a novel I'm writing? :)?

I'm not the best writer so I need some help with editing or get some suggestions/opinions to make it better myself. Thanks :) This is a bit from the first chapter (second half) Elle woke up to a paper being waved in her face by Alura. "Look a wanted poster" Alura said "I think it's for you". "Read it out, read it out" Elle replied. Alura took a breath "Wanted, the black cloaked thief. He has stolen from our Lord and a reward will be in place for any information on this crime". "Good they don't know it was me at least and they don't even know it was a girl" Elle said. "Yeah" Alura said "but these posters are all over town and someone will be wanting that reward, you should be careful". "Don't worry I will be" Elle smiled. Elle got out of bed and walked to her dresser opposite. She looked in to mirror and noticed she was still wearing the beautiful necklace she had put on at her raid. Touching the pendant she smiled and left it on. She changed into a lovely white dress. The sleeves hung to her hips where a belt wrapped around her. She took some of her long brown wavy hair and made a plat which then hung down the side of her face. She picked up a small basket and went to Alura who was sitting on her bed. "I'm going to the market" Elle said to her. "Be careful, bye bye" Alura replied. Elle laughed and shock her head "Do you think I'm an idiot?". She walked out the front door and down to the street. The morning sun shone down on Westerfort. Dirt roads wide enough for horse and carriage paved the town. Houses sat along the dull streets that were very to Elle's. People from the town were scattered around tending to their daily business. Elle arrived at the market centre. She went to a cart selling vegetables. The woman at the cart was short and had dark brown hair. Elle picked up a onion "Good morning Marcie, how much for the onions?". "3 copper pieces Darling, tis a good morning" Marcie replied and whipped her hands on her dirty brown dress "you're looking very nice today". "Thank you" Elle smiled "I'll take 3 and 4 carrots and a cabbage". "That's 17 copper pieces" Marcie said. Elle handed her the coins and put the food into her basket. Then covered it with a small red cloth. Elle waved to Marcie "See you later" and walked off towards the towns stables. It was large barn that stood not far from the town hall and market. Elle walked in and look around at the horses. She went to one of the stables and saw a magnificent chestnut horse. It walked up to her and seemed intrigued with Elle. Elle pet the horses face "Hey girl" she said and feed her a carrot from her basket. "She's a mighty horse" a man wearing a turnip said and walked up to Elle "I'm the stable master and my name be Wilfred Wiler". "I'm Elle Moonscar if you want to know" Elle replied "She is a beautiful horse". "Moonscar aye" Wilfred said "Not a common name round here, it sounds Elven". "Yes well my mother is man but father is an Elf, he is of the Moon tribes" Elle said. Elves are a fair race though they look like man they are actually very different. Their ears are pointed like Elle's and sometimes they will seem to glow in the light sometimes without. They mainly live quietly in forests, in love of nature. They are immortal beings and suffer no aging or illness after they reach the age of twenty five. But they can die from wound. "Half elven that makes you" Wilfred said surprised "that's quite rare I'd say". more

Open Question: Im starting to sell Avon, Tax write offs?

Can I write off my cell phone and the bill considering I use it to talk to customers? And my internet bill which I used to place orders? If this is true, how do I document this? just keep my receipts? Bill statements? and can I write off the entire cell phone bill I receive each month? And gas mileage...how do I write that off? more

Open Question: My first time producing a movie?

So, I am 15, and in grade 10. I have an end of the year project to write, produce, and edit an original movie. In 6 weeks. 0: I will just have a few people (I could probably get quite a few) but they are all around my age. I would LOVE some ideas, I have one idea. And it is a compulsive liar, who witnesses a kidnapping, and noone believes her. I don't know. A bit overdone.... Any ideas?? I have literally a week to write the script. (But we will probably have alot of improv because we are all in drama advanced. ) THANKS!!!! (My first movie, I have done commercials and music videos before, I am quite advanced in video production....) ALSO, Netflix has agreed to make a business deal with me, if it is good enough. They will be viewing it. Thanks SO much! This is a HUGE oppurtunity for me!!!! more

Open Question: I've been told that I take life too seriously? What do you think?

My English teacher is always picking at me and telling me to "not worry", that "everything will be fine", and that I am "too serious". In a sense she is right, but I do have some big goals to accomplish and I am working very hard. I own a business, I invest in stocks, and follow political and economic news. I am also in 3 AP courses this semester (Grade 12), where I have to get a 95% average among the three. My goal is go to an Ivy League University for my undergraduate in the fall of 2013, along with a MBA after. Lately I am a little stressed out since I have to write 9 major exams to write within the next two months including the SAT & Subject Tests which can make or break me. In order to accomplish the goals that I have set, I have to work very hard, dedicating almost all of my time to them. I guess my question is, shouldn't I be serious about this? It is easy for her say that it "isn't a big deal" that English is dragging down my average, but she doesn't realize how important the Universities have made the marks. She complains that I am more focused on the grades than learning. I completely agree with her; I wish I could only focus on learning but the system itself only cares about the grades. I see myself as very happy and confident; do you agree with me or her? Why? more

Open Question: Is he entitled to any money?

Myself and my daughter decided to put money into purchasing horses to set up a breeding business. Her boyfriend also decided to put in £2000. In total I have spent over. £20,000 for horses, stables, rent, fields, livery, feed, hay,shavings,vets,schooling,ect. He has not put any extra money in for the upkeep or spent any time doing any work. He now would like his share back as they are not together anymore. I do not think that he is entitled to any money as he has not kept up his part of the agreement as he has not put any money or time into it. There is nothing in writing as it is not a business yet as we are just starting out. Could you please advice me on weather or not he is entitled to anything even though he has done nothing and put no more money into it. Thank you more

Open Question: Isn't this terrible what she did to me????

Open Question: I'm sick of my teachers forcing their ideals on me! Please read?

Every day I attend school my teachers shove their ideals upon me. A specific teacher constantly tells me that I am a "global citizen". I told her that she has no right in telling me that I am a global citizen. A couple weeks after this incident she told the other students and I to write an essay on "Why we're a global citizen." The irony in this is that she expects me to write a personal essay on what she tells me I am, not what I truly am and know myself to be. I explained this to her and she said "Whatever you're still writing it." I refused to and instead wrote an essay on why I choose not to be a global citizen. She is threatening on giving me an F, and my family has arranged to conference with her. I am just sick and tired of this nonsense. This teacher also indoctrinates the class on her reproductive beliefs. . . "You're the type of students that will probably get Ph.D's and put off marriage and children until your 30's. It's not good to have children until you're 31, or to have more than 1 or 2." I, personally, do not want to have children in my 20's and probably won't have more than 2, but I do not see this as her business. I don't see anything wrong with a 26 year old whose financially and emotionally capable of having a child having one. I don't know who she thinks ordained her as the reproductive officer of the class. . During another class with this teacher she made other highly disturbing comments. She told us that if we kept an open mind, and rejected the views of our parents that we could truly be great and rule the world. I don't have a problem with her saying that we should always keep an open mind; however, I do not appreciate her telling me to reject all of my parents views. I am a critical thinker, and I do not agree with everything my parents tell me. Nevertheless, it seems that she believes she knows more than my parents and that if we accept her globalist/eugenicist ideologies we will be able to rule this highly flawed world. I told her that I do not wish to rule this world because it is falling apart, and that it is not her business on whether I agree with my parents or not on political/social issues. I also told her that she should keep an open mind as well. She seems to not like me because I present an opposing opinion, unlike the other students who passively accept what she spoon feeds to them. . She constantly monitors me throughout the classroom now, and antagonizes me whenever she has the chance. There was an incident a couple of weeks ago where she really hung me out to dry. A couple of students in my Physics class were asking students who had Physics a period or so before them what the questions on tests were. Some came to me and it made me uncomfortable. The teacher who is bugging me saw this with her own eyes and did nothing, acting like they were "studying." I asked the teacher of that class what her policy on cheating was because a few students were asking me such. She told me that it was classified as cheating and thanked me for notifying her. I clearly did not name any names, and did not accuse anyone of cheating. I simply asked if what was being asked was considered cheating. The students that were cheating are in a special program, along with I, run by the teacher who is bugging me. It is a group for supposed "advanced students." The Physics teacher notified her of what was going on. I guess she knew that the students were probably in the program. The teacher bugging me than attacked me, saying that what I was saying was simply not true. She said that she did not know I believed "studying" and "learning how to study" were cheating. She told the Physics teacher I was a liar too. These students were not studying nor were they attempting to study, they were cheating. I don't understand why so called "advanced students" in high school would still be learning how to study either but whatever. My father contacted her about this and she told him that I did nothing wrong, obviously contrary to how she acted towards me. She said that when she saw this going on she talked to them right away. This is clearly a lie or else she wouldn't have told me that I was lying and that she was sorry I felt learning to study was cheating. She also wouldn't have told the Physics teacher I was a liar too. She just did this so that my family wouldn't get too pissed and go above her head. I'm so sick of this! What should I do? more

Resolved Question: My friend is dating someone online and I know he's fake!!!!?

I have a friend and she's 18 now. She plays VSide and had been playing Vside back since like 2009 (approx.) which made her 15 at the time. And through this online game, she found "love." Now, at first I didn't mind her having this boyfriend that is online but only as long as he could prove that he is who he says he is. I asked for her boyfriend's name, and she told me it: Derek Balarezo, 19 years old. I don't just automatically trust people online. You have to know so much about them to even slightly believe in them. I found out that this guy had a bazillion myspace/ facebook accounts. I found his videos on youtube. I clearly found his youtube channel. The real Derek Balarezo had a video telling his fans that "Codaje711" was his only account on YouTube, and "Codaje7119" along with all of the other accounts are fake. It was clearly stated, I found his official links to other websites that he uses. I also found out that a lot of teenager girls have written to him that their friends have cried because they found out that they weren't dating him but in fact an online poser. When I went to tell my friend about everything that I have just discovered, she told me that she already knew about the fakes. Derek had already told her. "Derek" - Has never shown himself on webcam - Says the webcam is broken - Does not have a mobile phone (when he texts her, it's through yahoo or facebook). - Had made plans to move to Canada from NY (multiple times and failed everytime because he would make up a stupid fight to make it a reason not to move here). - His microphone is broken too. I don't know how the hell my friend would be so naive to believe in all of this bullshit! I warned her back then and she turned her back on me. I directly went to her to tell her and she was like okay thanks for researching but it's really none of your business. So from then on things with me and her have been just down the drain. We didn't talk for a while now, but then around this year me and become really close again and then we're now best friends. I was really glad that she broke up with Derek in 2011 but after the break up she jumped right to his brother "Dylan." She has been dating "Dylan" for 9 months now and still is still currently dating him. I didn't even try to tell her that Dylan was fake because of what happened with Derek. I have been noticing a lot that Dylan would get in a fight with my friend before the date that he's supposed to move up here. I believe that this guy is the same guy who played as "Derek." Sure, she tells me it's none of my business to get all over her relationship but I'm only trying to protect my friend. Dylan is a photographer and so he is moving up here on the 1st of May... He asked Jamie for her address so that he can send his camera here first. That's complete bullshit. He only wants her home address. He apparently already sent the camera but it has been a month. It's scary to know that he watches her on webcam everyday but she has never seen his face live! This time, I tried to talk to Dylan instead of going to my friend because I know the past would repeat itself. Now, I know all about the real Dylan now. I went to message Dylan on facebook (which by the way, only has 6 friends, and they're all my friend's friends). I asked Dylan if I could ask him some questions because I felt that as a friend of his girlfriend, I would like to know him a lot more. He agreed to answer the questions, so I made it like an interview and he got all of the answers wrong except for one. He know knew that his camera was a Canon 40D. This guy already knew me as the girl who called out on his brother for being a fake, so I know he was scared. I straight up told him that I don't believe that he is who he says he is. So he replied by telling me that he IS who he says he is, and it makes him want to prove himself more. I said "okay, you know what? You want to prove yourself huh? Go buy a fucking webcam, I'll give you 3 days." Dylan didn't freaked out right away saying what? why only 3 days? I work full shifts at starbucks from 5am - closing. That's bulllshit! who would be working that long and always replying to his girlfriend through text? I looked at how long it took for him to reply each time, and they take 1 minute each, not to mention he was talking to his gf at the time too! It was 3:30am here when I messaged him. We talked since 1:30am, He had work that morning so I pretty much caught him lying. I told him that he was supposed to be at work. He replies " I JUST got out the shower, I'm on my break" but I was confused and said "What!? you messaged me and showered at the same time?" He then says "I showered 45 mins ago" What the hell!!! He's mixing up his stories now. He worried and went to tell my friend t more

Open Question: Can a creditor transfer a bill to a debt collector while you are disputing it?

I am having a problem with a cell phone company. They grossly overcharged me (we're talking $1000.00 for 1 month of service) after being with them for years, and they refused to fix their mistakes saying I could either pay the bill or have my phone cut off. I use my phone for business so this was not an option. I ported my number and disputed the bill with them many many many times on the phone. I received a letter in the mail in January from this company saying I owed the amount still. I wrote them a letter back saying I am disputing these charges and for them to send me proof. They sent 2 years worth of bills, and I picked each one apart and wrote them another certified letter stating-with evidence-that I did not owe this bill. I wrote in the letter they had 30 business days to respond to me with what they were going to do or I would sue them in small claims court for damages. I have the signature receipt showing it arrived at their facility on February 14th, 2012. I pulled my credit February 16th and realized they had me listed as an unpaid open bad debt. Mid-March, a debt collector (not the original cell phone company who sent me the bill in January) called my home saying that it was their debt now and they would be collecting it. First, can a 'creditor' transfer a debt when it is under dispute/investigation? Second, it has been 40+ business days, should I attempt contact with the company once more, or continue with the small claims? more

Open Question: How do I compromise with Christian girlfriend WHO I LOVE?

I've been dating (who I think is) the most wonderful girl in the world for eight months now. She's a Christian and I'm atheist/agnostic. We're so similar and well suited that we only argue about one thing: God. Though our arguments were intense, we always found it natural to carry on as if nothing had happened afterwards. I was only upset for the first time when her mother wrote to her saying that she should break up with me and that I was unsuitable for her as I was not a Christian. She said that my girlfriend had "no business dealing with" me. Though my girlfriend has been wonderful and persuaded her (difficult) mother to give me a second chance, I was still left feeling like a little piece of our relationship had been taken away. Before our relationship, I believed 100% that God did not exist and that religion was a man-made phenomenon; however, since dating her I’ve acknowledged that (although small) there’s a chance that he does. I guess this is because some part of me wants to accommodate her views and make her feel comfortable with talking about them: whilst being (even more) scientific and rational. On the other hand, she still claims to “know” that God does exist, and does not believe that there is even a chance that he doesn’t, aka: I made a change for her, and she didn’t reciprocate. She has said that she’d choose Jesus over me any day, which I find hurtful as I’d choose her over anything. She also states that our children will be raised Christian or bust, and that they will be made to believe that everything in the bible is true start to finish. I would never say to them “you’re mother is wrong”, I would be lenient and let them choose for themselves. On the other hand, she would most certainly preach to them that I was wrong; with my natural selection and acceptance that there really is no answer to who and what we are that will ever satisfy. Though this seems like jumping into the future too suddenly, I think about it as am so serious with her. To sum up: I love her more than anything and would die for her, but feel sad that this isn’t reciprocated. She was part of a Christian cult as a child and feels immense guilt for choosing anything over her god, though I think (for our sake) she should! My mother was raised strictly Jewish and my father as Christian, yet they gave up their religions in the name of their own love, and raised my brother and I as neutral, happy and ethical. Why can’t she (at least go one step of the way to) do it for me?? I really want us to work together. more

Open Question: Seriously..Does Customer Care EVEN EXIST?

Why put a link to "Customer Care" all over the website and have it force everyone through a maze of troubleshooting documents!!! THIS is why I never use my yahoo mail. Everything in my inbox dated after March 2010 has disappeared. There is NOTHING I can do and instead of providing an ounce of support, I'm wasting my time sifting through "troubleshooting" options that aren't even beginning to help me! Clicking on any Customer Care link wastes another few minutes to get you right back to where you started...this is so incredibly aggrivating I feel my only real option save the few archived emails that didn't vanish, and delete my account. How is it even remotely acceptable for my inbox to be 2,000 spam emails...and NOTHING else!! WTF! PS. Writing this is just another huge waste of time because big shocker, the real problem is this is business as usual. Peace Out. more

Open Question: Should I ask for a status update on interview situation?

LAst week i was contacted by a company, i didnt even apply for the position. I was interested, they seemed interested, i interviewed with 5 people, they asked for references and writing samples. My references were contacted which to me seemed pretty serious and from what i've read others feel the same. On easter sunday the hiring manager asked for another writing sample that would pertain more to what i'd be doing in the role. Id never been asked for something like this and it honestly seemed like a bit much, but naturally i did it as i want the job. Well i havent heard a word from him since i sent the sample in on monday. Should i take this as a sign that he hated it and is done with me? I mean he was talking about bringing me on board last week. I am feeling angry at this point. I put effort into this and now i feel like i'm just getting the brush off. It's been 4 business days. What should i do? more

Open Question: Money War Ending, War of Money Ending, Money's Warfare Ending?

Money War Ending -Ju Hee Narrating- The dog is barking very loud alarming Jae Soo(Na Ra's friend). He then ran nervously making me uncomfortable and scared then came back shouting for help. I ran with a goose bump on my body and my heart is pumping so fast. I am very scared at that time and kept thinking that nothing bad will happen to Na Ra. I saw Na Ra lying with blood on his head. I cried as I see him there making my heart stops and makes it difficult for me to breathe. We rushed him at the hospital and it crushed my heart seeing him on his condition blaming God why a good guy has to suffer that way. I hold Nara's hand as I confessed my love telling him not to leave me alone because I am scared then suddenly he holds it tightly with tears dropped on his eyes. A continues beep sound floats in the air. I grasp for air as I heard that sound, it felt like an end is coming near. I called for help as I ran crying. The doctor sent me outside as they tried to revive Nara. His sister hugs me as she cried and told me to fight and believed everything will be fine. As the doctor told the bad news, I ran to Na Ra and hugged him as I cry until I slept. The next day, Dad is knocking at the door and waking me up. I thanked dad for waking me up ending my bad dream. Dad looked me in the eye with a serious face telling me that Nara is dead. It shattered my heart and breaks into pieces knowing that my dream is a sad truth. I ran outside fast as I could and I find my self at the bridge. I shout for his name and why does he left me alone. Juhee: Why have you left me alone? I can’t live without you by my side, I really liked you! I still want to see how you smile one sided, how you wink your narrow eyes and I want to wash your dirty clothes everyday (smiling). But you are unfair. Why do you left me on my own? I decided to jump to the river to end my life and follow Nara but before I jump, a group of Crane interfered that flew away to the sky from under the bridge that makes my attempt to stop. I suddenly remembered Nara, It flashbacks Na Ra hiding my 50 cents coin under his feet. I felt a sudden relief, it felt that Nara is always here protecting me, I know that it is a sign from him maybe he wants me to continue living my life. -Ten years later- Little Nara: Mom, mom Hyun-Jung[Ju hee’s BestFriend]: Hey Ju hee your son is here Little Nara: Mom I wrote a letter to you. Juhee: Wow can you read it? Little Nara: Dear mom, thank you for being a good mom to me. You are the best mom in the world and I will never leave you alone. I will continue to try to make you happy when at times you are thinking and crying. I love you mom and thank you! -Ju Hee Narrating- Ten Years have passed, I didn’t find another man I could not replace Nara in my heart. I have just decided to adopt a son and name after him. I know Nara is happy for me now. I am now slowly moving on but I know that I will never forget his presence. --end-- Jae Soo(Na Ra's friend) decided to continue to run the Dong Po lending business with a low interest. He said that he will continue what Na Ra started. To help how our ancestors and how they gracefully accept help to those who are in need. Ko Cheol(Na Ra’s Teacher) died after 6 months from Na Ra’s death from cancer. His assets were donated to the poor people on Chansu’s Village he started. Rumor said that Dong Po hid from the authority for almost a year but his conscience haunted him resulting him to go crazy. Woo Sung went to Ko Cheol’s grave and asked for forgiveness. He also started a small time lending business as he runs from the loan sharks where he borrowed his seed money. Eun-Ji(Na Ra’s Sister) and his husband have started a small time restaurant from the money they saved and are living a simple life with their 2 children. Eun-Ji told me that Lee Cha Yeon(Na Ra’s ExGF) is happily married on her husband who is an art collector and a businessman after she went abroad to study and start a new life with her grand mother. I heard from Jae Soo that Ms. Jo found out that her boyfriend was using her for money leaving her nothing. Ms. Jo is now working as an entertainer in a karaoke bar. Dong Goo(Gangster) decides to live a decent life, he works hard everyday as a carpenter, driver, etc. just to make a living. more

Open Question: B&A: What kind of writer are you?

This is a pseudo-philosophical question meant to indirectly ask you what your intentions are with the stories you write. We all write because we have something to say. But some of you might also write because you intend to contribute something specific to the literary world, (or the specific genre you write in). So, what kind of writer are you? (What combination if you're more than one). 1) Political: You aim to challenge the writing conventions, bend the rules, stir controversy, and push your political agenda through your work. You're a trend-setter. 2) Social: You aim to conform to the industry standards and the positive opinions of your reader demographic. You write to please your market. Fame is a bonus but you wouldn't mind appearing on Late Night with Jay Leno. Marketing is your specialty, after all. 3) Religious: You aim to pay tribute to the issues, beliefs, and ideals that you find sacred. Your work is devoted to giving meaning to every day issues that relate to humanity, spirituality, and morality. You aim to make sense out of life through your fiction. 4) Economic: You aim to contribute to the growth of your genre/readership. Competition inspires you. Supporting yourself financially is a necessity and sometimes you're willing to sacrifice quality for quantity but only for efficiency's sake. You aren't one to ramble or waste time/effort. This is business. 5) Academic: You aim to impart your wisdom/knowledge/experience on others, and to address topics that you know about. Write what you know is a familiar mantra to you. You value a certain amount of quality and take pride in your efforts. You aim to teach but not lecture and your readers are meant to take underlying lessons away from your stories. If you don't learn from it, then it's a waste. Garnering prestige via awards would be a bonus. 6) Philosophical: You aim to cross-analyze and rationalize the ways of the world. This is a combination of Religious and Academic writing but your goal is to make your readers think for themselves. You are a philosopher of the mind and your work tends to focus mainly on the inner workings of a person/character. 7) Hobbyist: You aim to find personal satisfaction and entertainment in your writing. You aren't particularly concerned with readers, your stories are written mostly for yourself. You might, however, one day aim to graduate to a full-time writer but currently, your only concern is to find personal satisfaction in writing for yourself. None of these are meant to offend or seem negative. We all have our own motivations and they can all be good. If you have some tendencies toward others but don't completely fit the description I offered then feel free to state so. These are just guidelines to help characterize your intentions/goals as a writer.What brilliant answers. I found myself nodding along smiling with so many of these answers. And thanks Brent..how could I forget the procrastinator? That's me in a nutshell lmao. more

Open Question: Would anyone judge my writing?

I've been working on this story for a while now, and I was wondering how my writing was and if people were able to understand it. I'm trying for an un-biased opinion and who better to ask than a complete stranger. Lifting his head and staring past his hair, he watched the rain slicked white cobbled steps wind and curve up a hill between rows of flower beds and giant willow trees before it finally ended at the foot of a ten story white stone building skirted with an assortment of cars. It was where he worked, and like many others, lived. It housed about twenty workers or more depending on the season. In fact, many of the workers families practically lived there as well and it was always crawling with children, most of which were too disobedient to understand what “No Running” meant as the floors were kept extremely polished and slick and having sticky little children running over them made it a potential danger for the workers there---the “No children allowed” pole was never even passed so he had to put up with the danger of eventually being bulled over by a couple of ten year olds. Many called it a stay-at-home work place, and many called it an apartment complex. It did look livable on the outside, and he had begun to think that at one point that it was some sort of housing facility though his sister company out in Massachusetts told him otherwise. Dominic for one didn’t know how many of them stayed there so long seeing as the building was completely falling apart. Oh he wished for a car but, driving it through the flower bed wouldn’t be a smart thing wouldn’t it? It would have been something his friend would have done—like a child—like an idiot, he wasn’t that kind of man, his father brought him up to be better than that. Though he dared not let the thought of business slip his mind of pure foolishness, he could admit now and then a break from stress related death was a small gift. One lift of his leg and he would be on his way---oh god why do I take my travels on foot?—Regan, his doctor, advised him against it but, Dominic was never one to listen to those in a lower rank nor did he really appreciate their input. \o/ hope it isn't too conufusing. more

Resolved Question: Homework Q:If starting a small landscaping company, should I take out loan primarily to pay wages of employees?

In my business class we were put in groups and given the assignment to write a business plan. My group is writing one for a landscaping company. I am the boss and the two guys in my team are my employees. As of now, it looks like our start up costs are very low and are only to cover the costs of supplies (lawn mower, weed eater, etc.). They are so low that I don't think that I will need financial assistance to cover capitol. Should I take out a loan just to cover the cost of paying the two employees or could i pay them on commission? thank you! more

Open Question: Are there dissertation editors, support groups or services out there?

I'm not talking about some "pay us and we'll write it for you" scam, but are there any legit (not going against code of ethics of any school - basically no plagiarism involved - just advice) sources or businesses that help you work through your dissertation, like give feedback or provide advice and support. The obvious answer is yeah, the adviser or my committee and I pay my tuition so I should get that. Well my adviser is elderly and tenured, doesn't ever read or respond to my stuff and I have to get my work past him before I can present it to my committee. I don't know what to do, but what I want is some feedback from an invested professional...this guy doesn't care (once took 6 weeks to answer an email). I've gone too far to switch advisors too (believe me, I asked). I just want to do my dissertation and I want to do it well. I'm willing to pay for quality HELP from professionals, not looking for an easy way out. Basically, I'd like an adviser like the one I'm SUPPOSED to have in the first place but I clearly do not. Please help! Where are some good sources for professional academic writing help that you know of? more

Open Question: What should I do if I have no new information to write in my appeal?

I got wait listed to UCR and I hear and read that if you write a strong appeal letter they can get you off the waiting list. Sadly, with no new evidence, I cant write anything thing. One article I read, stated that colleges hate when students claim they are a good match for the school. So something I was thinking of doing was saying how the Bourns College of Engineering had a certain major I wanted to attend to, Business Informatics. Is that pretty much the same as saying I'm a good match for the school? Any advice would be nice. more

Open Question: Chemistry Help Please Someone?

Okay, this is the question: Farming is a big business in the United States with profits for the lucky and possible bankruptcy for the less fortunate. Farmers should not be ignorant of chemistry. For instance, to be profitable, a farmer must know when to plant, harvest, and sell his/her crops to maximize profit. In order to get the greatest yield farmers often add fertilizers to the soil to replenish vital nutrients removed by the previous season's crops. Corn is one product that removes a tremendous amount of phosphorous from the soil. For the reason, farmers will rotate crops and/or add fertilizer to the ground before planting crops for the following year. On average, an acre of corn will remove 6 kilograms of phosphorous from the ground. Assume you inherit a farm and must now have to purchase fertilizer for the farm. The farm is 340 acres and had corn planted the previous year. You must add fertilizer to the soil before you plant this years crops. You go to the local fertilizer store and you find SuperPhosphate brand fertilizer. You read the fertilizer bag and can recognize from your high school chemistry class a molecular formula Ca3P2H14S2O21 (you don't understand anything else written on the bag because it is imported fertilizer from Japan). You must decide on how much fertilizer to buy for application to your corn fields. If each bags costs $54.73; how many bags of fertilizer must you purchase and how much will it cost you to add the necessary fertilizer to your fields? Additional Information: 1 bag of fertilizer weighs 10,000 g [454 g = 1 pound] Thanks! more

Open Question: Worked as an Independent Contractor with Commission Wages and Haven't Gotten Paid?

I worked for a small business March 2011-Oct. 21, 2011 as a Pet Groomer. I was paid commission (45%) and in the beginning I was receiving a check. About July-ish they handed me a form and said if you want to work here you need to sign this, it was a form to become an independent contractor. I didn't have much choice (job market being slim) so I signed it. After I signed it, they started paying me in cash only. They said it was because one of the two owners wasn't in the business anymore. In oct. I have to quit (with a two weeks notice) because my husband (in the navy) was being stationed in Wa. So we moved from Southern California to Washington. I kept a log of all the pets I groomed with price paid and commission price owed to me. I had a copy of it but since the move I haven't able to locate it. My job duties also consisted of answering the phone, working as the cashier and cleaning. Once I quit, they said they didn't have the money and couldn't pay me. So really didn't have a choice and had to leave to Wa without the money. Back and forth text messages, facebook messages, calls for the next few months with no success. I came back to California in Jan (to visit family) and went into the shop. They gave me $200 of the $900 they owed me and said that's all they could pay me at the time. I asked for another copy of the log (since i couldn't located mine) and they said they had lost it. I wrote out a note saying that as of 1/6/2012 they owe me $900 and had both them and I sign it. Under the $900 -$200 making it $700. I had to leave to back to Wa. And with more back and forth messaging I received another $200 on March 1, 2012 (using the note and -$200 make it $500). Its now April and still haven't been able to get the rest of the money owed to me. I haven't been able to contact the owner at all but have been in touch with the shop manager. Everything has been one excuse after another. I finally received a 1099 in late March (not Jan. like I was suppose to, not a w2 either like I thought). It really took a chunk out of our tax return. I'm just frustrated with the whole situation. What can I do? Do I need to go to Ca labor laws Court? or Small Claims Court? Can I sue for back penalties or court fees? Plane ticket to get back to Ca for the court? Really would have liked to have kept this out of the court, which is why I have waited so long... more
