Question #1:
Where do I meet 'normal' gay guys, other than online?
Sorry if I offend anyone by using the term "normal", but I just mean guys that aren't femme, have jobs that don't have to do with theater, the arts, music, etc., and aren't into leather, bears, etc.? Am I asking for too much?I've only been to a gay bar once, but I felt like everyone there was cruising for sex and I was very uncomfortable. Btw I'm am in my early twenties and in medical school. The stupid and possibly naive question is due to the fact that I'm still mostly in the closet and am rather inexperienced in the matter. Thanks in advance
Groove: I've got nothing against those people, its just that I can't relate and, personally, I find it a lot easier to like someone that i can relate to
Question #2:
Why do most employers laugh at online universities such as the University of Phoenix?
My brother in law said that if you want to better your life, then it's best to go to a four-year state university.He said that most employers laugh at online schools, such as the University of Phoenix.
I didn't have time to ask him why, so I'm asking it on here.
Question #3:
Double Degree in English and Fashion Marketing.?
Okay, so I made a post some days ago concerning whether or not to double degree or double major, and I decided a double degree is what I need because the two majors are in different departments.I would like to go to FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) for a bachelors in fashion marketing program and minor in fine arts. I would also like to get some sort of English teaching degree.
I plan to get the English degree online at the same time I am enrolled to get the fashion marketing degree.
Does every college allow a student to be dual enrolled and double degree? Or is that a program at only some colleges? I don't see how much of a problem it could pose as long as I get all my credits (from my understanding I would need 150-180 credits to do that). I don't want to spend 4 more years getting the second degree.
Also, concerning English degrees, if you are only trying to teach in high school as a substitute or something of that nature, what sort of degree is best? a B.A. in English? or a B.S. in Education? I don't want to do anything with younger children. I want grades 9-12. I plan to, after getting both degrees, get a TESL/TEFL certificate and teach abroad for 1-2 years. In the U.S., is this counted as teaching experience? The country I want to teach at is pretty easy to get a job as an ALT there, so that's not a problem., but I just want to know if that experience transfers.
I have many questions. Please answer them if you can.
Thank you, and I appreciate it so much. I am really trying to understand how to accomplish my goals.
GOD Bless you all.
Thank you so much Cheryl. I just have so many questions about college, and I appreciate your answer a lot. GOD Bless. :)
Apologies, Sheryl, I spelled your UN wrong haha.
Question #4:
Problem! Advice Please?!?
Okay im a senior in high school and im graduating june 3rd of this year, there is only one of many problems i have! Im passing every single one of my classes but math!? I've talked to my guidance counslers and they told me that I have a chance and to keep trying and I AM improving but the thing is I didnt do so well on the first semester and I dont want to risk failing because I need the credit so there is this thing called credit recovery they have at my school and if you request they will let you take the class online and start you where you can just do enough to pass and the highest they can give you is a 70 and i requested that because I did not want to risk anything and for some reason the guidance counslers really dont want me to take the class online they keep talking me into staying after school which dosent help me, its like they really think i could pass or something!!! They keep saying they wouldnt dare to take algebra 2 online which i dont think would be a problem because I have taken an online math before and its way better than taking it in a class to me!? I have another major test coming up nect class that seems fairly easy and my counsler told me to just take the test and see if i pass and If didnt then they will put me in credit recovery!? which is what I want? I mean really is Algebra 2 really that hard online if you have notes to copy and your allowed to take the quizzes 3 times and you have a math teacher near you? what would you do if you were in this situation? Should i ask the teacher can he let me retake some quizzes or something?Question #5:
Ideas for a birthday party for a 10 yr old boy...Please help?
I have a 9 yr old who will be turning 10 in May. I am a new mother, as he is my step-son and his father has recently received custody of him, so I am new to all this. He has been moved around a lot and has went to many elementary schools, so he doesnt really have "best" friends. Also, when he lived with his mother, she never sent him to school clean, so he was picked on by the other kids! :( I have done some research online and seen many ideas, but they all deal with his closest 5 friends. Which according to him, he doesnt have. Since he has been with his father and I, he has been at the same school, so the kids at this school are what I guess would be considered his closest. But I have no idea what kids at this age like to do, or what is age appropriate. I was thinking bowling, or maybe a party at a local pizza parlor. But I also want it to be the best birthday he has ever had. I also want it to be interesting enough that even though the kids in his class may not know him as long as everyone else, they will still come. The school has a policy that when inviting children to parties, they must invite all the kids from his/her class. So this party will need to be gender neutral.Also, any ideas on games? I was thinking maybe getting a jar with change, or jelly beans and letting the children guess how much is in the jar, with who ever is closer winning the jar. But I would like to have a few different games with kids winning prizes. Money is a little tight, but as far as prizes, the dollar stores always have inexpensive prizes and party materials. Please help...Thanks!
Question #6:
I KINDA NEED HELP WITH SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR LIKE AGES NOW. I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT IT. HELP?!?
I know this ain't a real life issues section or whatever but still i kinda need help.You see, there has to be something wrong with me cause i feel there is i mean, i like this person right, and we use to go too the same school and now we don't but yeah and well even though we are not in the same school i still kind of like him. I mean sure on the day of leaving the school i wanted to tell him that i liked him but unfortunately failed to do so.
Now i have a new school life and everything and at first i was like YAY i ain't gonna like him no more i can totally forget about him and yeah it was like that for like the fist few months even at the start of this year i made my new years' resolution to be:
a) Work hard in subjects i have.
b) Totally forget about the guy i liked. For good
c) Not to fall for any guys cause it's kind of torture at times( cause i'm not allowed t date anyone not till I'm like 19 or 20 i think a couple years to go then.)
Anyway in school he kinda gave signals that he might have had feelings for me too, but i dono i was never good at sorta reading into stuff like that. and i couldn't tell him i liked him that i liked him not until the end cause of the fact i'm not allowed to go out with anyone. I mean that's fine if the guy don't like me and all i can live,but if he does then it's torture at times. I mean you can't just ignore those feelings or push them aside right? but yeah i still do. I'm nearly 18 so and i still totally suck at this whole love thing but, all i wana know is (after giving a log essay about the problem) how do you stop liking a guy. Cause all i feel every time is stupid. I've added this guy as a friend on this online chat thingy and well i hardly ever go there and if i said something to him it would look odd cause well i hardly talk to anybody on it and if i suddenly startedtalking to him everyone else would be like 'wat's that about?' you know. Oh and by the way i really didn't want anybody knowing about my crush on him cause:
a) I was a bit shy
b) loads of girls liked him. I dono i think he was a flirt.
c) he was a bit of a trouble maker but sometimes sweet.
d) every time time i told my closest friends i liked him, they were like 'Really? oh my God you're joking. Tell the truth...' that kinda thing. I mean they didn't expect me to like a guy like him.
Who by the way did a a lot of swearing. i kinda hated that. so yeah.
And at times i like him and i hate him i mean I hate him cause of the fact i like him
I hate cause of the fact he makes me feel stupid
I hate him cause he makes me feel miserable case of liking him
I hate him cause he wont get out of my brain
I hate having crushes in general
When everything is good he talks to you blah blah blah.. etc your like over the moon
But at times you hate yourself cause you feel stupid for liking him and get mad at yourself for doing something stupid in front of him then hate him for making you hate yourself for feeling stupid and hate him for making you do the stupid thing you did in front of him cause you were nervous. Then i feel miserable
I just wana stop having crushes in general i mean my life would be so much easier. Why isn't there a button that stops you from liking ppl i mean it would be awesome if there was something like that. I just want to stop liking guys till i'm like 20 or something then i'll be happy. so if there is anybody who knows what to do that could you please help me cause, i've had enough of this really. thanx
Question #7:
People that bring sick/infected kids around, this time her kids have Pinworms...?
ok, I asked a more specific questions about this most recent episide on a few other categories to get some responses on how to handle this neighbor - her kids have pinworms they just took meedication yesterday so I know by researching the internet that they are still contagious because eggs live on bedding, clothes, ect for up to 3 weeks (similar to Lice)How would you deal with a neighbor/friend that does this? We talked last night about this and I sent her an article about Pinworms I found online last night and she brings her kids out to the cul de sac to play today after school !!!
It is not only this instance, but others as well. Over the winter her kids had lice and she brought them around right after she treatment, she frequently brings them around whenever they are sick with upper respitory infection, ect.
My daughter has a compromised immune system and I simply cannot let this happen. I have explained this to her in the past. However, maybe she thinks something like pinworms aren't that big of a deal...............
just to add some details....her kids go to a daycare that obviously doesn't believe in cleaning, LOL.....we live in a nice new middle class subdivision and their house isn't dirty or anything, it is just that the keep picking up EVERYTHING from daycare and my neighbor doesn't have the etiquette to make sure her kids are infection free before bringing them around other children which I cannot understande. What gets me the most is she is a Teacher with a Masters Degree, supposedly very smart, right ?! I just don't get it !!
Question #8:
how good is my laptop? bad/average/good/great?
I used to be into computers a lot more when I was younger, back in the days when a 300 MHz processor with 128 MB RAM was a pretty sweet system. But I kinda got out of it in my latter years of high school and haven't really had a computer of my own in about 7-8 years. My family bought me a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with a Pentium(R) Dual Core 2.1 GHz CPU with Windows 7, 3 GB RAM. Haha, my first computer when I was 12 in 1995 was 133 MHz with 8 MB of RAM until I updated it to a whooping16 MB. Anyway, I don't know anything about the video or sound cards (if they even use that stuff anymore for that matter) or where to find those stats.So I guess what I'm asking is how good is my computer? I don't use it for games or anything like that just basically to go online and and do work with Office. It runs fast and is probably a lot more that what I really need, but I'd just like a general bad/average/good/great rating.
10 points to whoever explains their answer best.
the Windows Experience Index is 3.4
Question #9:
Why do employers ask such stupid questions during interviews?
I went to apply to Bed Bath & Beyond today (you know, that 8 dollar an hour cashier job that anyone could have) and they made me feel like I was trying to join Star Fleet.He looked at my application and saw that I am majoring in radiology. "Why are you going to school for radiology?" Then he asked me what I liked to outside of work and school and I said tennis. "Why do you like tennis?" How the heck am I supposed to answer that?
So then I went to the actual interviewer and I sat down and the first thing he asked me was my favorite cereal. I said "Um..banana nut cheerios?" he said, "Ok. Why?" and I said "...Because I like how it tastes" and he goes "Ok...interesting." And then he started writing notes. WTF. I feel like I am in the twilight zone.
I noticed a pattern in applications (especially online ones) that there are more and more stupid, irrelevant questions being asked for minimum wage jobs. Why? What do employers think they are going to learn??
Question #10:
Are online universities worth it?
I've wanted to go to school but I don't have the time, and I'm not able to work only part time due to the bills I've created (car payment, rent and other expenses etc.) I think it's probably harder when you're already established rather than fresh out of high school. (I'm almost 27.) Is it worth it do do online? Can you get a complete degree (2 and/or 4 year) online? Which colleges are better/worse?Question #11:
is it possible to get your licensed practical nursing degree online?
please include schools and websites. i have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find one! its so frustrating!!Question #12:
How do i ask her out?
I talk to this girl ALL the time on MSNshe either talks to me or i talk to her as soon as one of us signs on
she knows i like her and i know she would probably go out with me
i don't often talk to her in school
we're 15
i wish she was online now
it's really hard
i'm quite shy
Question #13:
Does anyone know about this accident?
I am looking for information on a car accident that happened in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canda. I believe the accident was in 2004 because I think I was still in high school. It involved a bunch of teenagers who took their parents SUV and many of them were killed. I also believe the driver was 14 years old. I can not find anything about this accident online when I google it or in my local newspapers website. Anyone have a link to a site or know where I should look?Wow, I ask a question about kids that DIED and you have the nerve to send me a link to a stupid video on YouTube. That's pretty messed up.
Question #14:
How do I convince my parents to let me buy MW2?
I have played the game before and I have seen little to no blood. The bloodiest part in the game is the story mode which I don't play anymore because I now only play online. I have payed it on PS3( especially online mode) and the reason my parents don't want me to get it is because of, yes all the blood and gore, but because we are Arabs and my parents find it racist even though you only fight Arabs in like the first level. I don't mind paying for the game itself. I even wouldn't even mind paying double for the game, so how can I get them to let me buy it? Also my mom keeps trying to convince me with these online parenting websites about violent games and school shootings, when really I know the data is skewed by bullying, peer pressure, and depression only she dose not believe me. Also I have little brothers who I have to share the PS3 with so I think my parent would be a little fearful of them playing it too, but I actually keep, even the most worthless, things I own away from them so keeping my little brothers away from this game would not be very difficult for me. Even if the reason is because of my grades then I am actually going to an advanced school and I am passing with mostly B's and my C's only last for a maximum of one week, but by the time report cards get out I have bumped up my grades. Another thing is that I have tried turning off the blood and gore from the very first time I played, but there is no option for that. By the way, I'm 14.P.S. My birthday is coming up soon, so would that help?
Question #15:
Is my appeal letter good?
To Whom It May Concern:I was devastated to hear that my application was not considered for University of Texas admission. I have worked very hard to be in the top ten percent of my graduating class just so I could have a better chance at my dream university. It was heartbreaking to discover that my transcript never arrived at the admissions office.
My counselor has now sent out a new transcript. She has also written a letter explaining the situation. I hope that my academic accomplishments and extracurricular activities will be reviewed upon receiving my official transcript. I believe my application reflects me as an individual. I strive for academic excellence in challenging courses. I like to stimulate my mind in class, in after school activities, and in my life outside of school. I work hard for what I seek and won’t relent until all options have been exhausted.
Although I wish this misfortune never came about, I eventually began to appreciate the valuable lesson it has taught me. I have learned the necessity of the follow-up. It was my responsibility as a prospective University of Texas freshman to consistently check my application status online. I fully realize that it is neither the fault of my counselor nor UT admission. I had sole responsibility of understanding the deadlines and application rules. I’m disappointed in myself for being so careless with something so critical. I sincerely hope that my appeal resolves this.
Question #16:
Can you really learn a foreign language online?
I am preparing for a Masters program in English Literature, and one part of my requirements is that I prove moderate proficiency in a foreign language . I have considered German (for insight into the history of English), Spanish (I live near Mexico), and Greek (I also have an interest in Biblical studies). But the language I would really like to learn is Swedish, as I have family members from Sweden and two nephews who are growing up bilingual.Easier said than done. No universities near me offer Swedish as a foreign language, and I really do need to attend an accredited school for my requirement. Online language learning sounds so counterintuitive. Can it actually work?
Question #17:
Please can someone help me job wise...?
I live in an area where money is like tight. My mother is single and cannot work due to health problems. Im 17 years old,i do online school, and were struggling money wise. I feel like i can do more, but I applied in so many places, and havent heard from any of them. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Please and thankyou for your help. I really appreciate it.Question #18:

We're learning italian at school and i have to present a powerpoint on my family and their interests.I dont trust ONLINE TRANSLATORS so please dont use them.
Also, how do i say "I have black hair and black eyes" in italian?
Question #20:
Can anyone help me to name the title?
Hi,I'm now building my online design portfolio. I have categorized all the work and I want to put them in 2 separate categories (folder).
The first folder contains the works I done for real existing clients (from US, Hong Kong and Australia). And the second folder is the projects I've done at uni.
I was going to call them 'Jobs for client' and 'School work' but that sounds not right and boring. Can you guys think of any creative and appropriate title?
This design is awesome, but I don't want to separate the works (in logos, editorial, packaging etc)
