Open Question: Anyone Know/Seen Any Female Mechanics?

Hello Folks: I am an adult male living over in the Eastern United States and I have a thing for female motor mechanics and other women working in nontraditional fields. I do not even know why it's like that. While most men like women who can cook, clean (and maybe do some gardening and knitting), I tend to like women who can fix, repair, build and maintain things. (Hey, I'm single and live by myself, so I already do my own cooking and cleaning.) This fetish for Women with Power Tools that I have is a turn on for me, much like the way some guys get turned on when they see Girls with Guns. I am aware that the average tradeswoman/handywoman is quite "rough around the edges" and thus very far from a beauty queen and/or even a Hooter's Girl, but hey, I am prepared to deal with that fact. Besides, I have seen a few "fix it" chicks that look real good that I would not mind being with. I know that I got a list of movies and television shows featuring female electrians, female mechanics, female plumbers, etc. (both professional and amateur) from Internet Movie Data Base ( http://www.imdb.com ). Some examples are the 2007 and 2009 TRANSFORMERS movies, "Beauty and the Geek", "Catwalk", "EastEnders", "Firefly", "Home Improvement", "Home Makeover", "Lucille's Car Clinic", "Neighbours", some of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS movies, BETTER OFF DEAD (1985), DARK ANGEL (otherwise known as I COME IN PEACE) (1990), DEVIL GIRL (2007), http://www.highmaintenancethemovie.com , LADRON QUE ROBA A LADRON (2007), LOVE IN HIGH GEAR (1932), NORTH COUNTRY (2005), REDLINE (2007), SERENITY (2005), SPEED RACER (2008), TANK GIRL (1995), GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS (either from 1974 or 2000), TOMBOY (1985), KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY (1945) and quite possibly FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965) - (I heard that the chicks in that movie do some automobile repairs. Is this true?) I know that a lady named Sarah Lyons came out with some FEMALE MECHANICS calendars at http://www.sarahlyon.com/calendar . Back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, when I first got into this fetish, I saw a poster of a chick dressed in a white skirt, holding a wrench and working underneath her yellow Porsche or Volkswagen Beetle. Does anyone have this picture? Also, I saw an old issue of HOT ROD Magazine where a groom was standing up in the middle of the garage while the bride was under the hood tinkering with the engine. Has anyone seen this? Some of the stock photography links have pictures of female mechanics as well. Do any other guys get turned on by handywomen? Does anyone else know of any good movies featuring female mechanics? Please let me know. Thank you. Web_Jock more

Open Question: Does my mom sound like a bad mom, or am I the bad son?

When I was little (3-9) we were really close. She used to read me stories every night before I went to bed. My dad was always a dick. I can't remember details...all I know is when he would come home after work I would run and hide from him. He used to TRY to help me with homework...but that never helped. He'd ask me a question from the homework paper, and if I missed it he would make me do push-ups. Sometimes until 11 o'clock at night, we would be up. I would sit it my room and cry but my mom would make it better. Later... When I was around 10 years old my parent's got a divorce. I was really happy to get away from my dad. Me and my mom were still kind-of close until I was about 12. We would go see movies some nights. But I gradually kept spending more and more time in my bedroom by myself. Now I'm 14, and sometimes I go through the weekend without talking to her...but she doesn't mind. She's become more and more...bitchy. All she ever talks about is how my grades are falling, that my hair looks weird, or that my clothes look funny. Whenever I try to talk to her she yells at me. Even when I tried to talk to her about not being able to talk to her she yelled at me...lol. Sometimes it's really boring or lonely in my room. I started smoking pot in order to escape and not be as lonely (pot makes me talk alot...to my friends through texting). Sometimes I go to my dad's house...not that often. He's gotten weird to. He has a mullet, and he's started smoking cigars. My chorus teacher has taken note of the fact that I don't spend much time with my mom at all. He..tries to help...but makes me feel like I'm the one who's done something wrong. Then i feel bad that I don't talk to her. I feel like I'm the one who's staying disconnected. When I had just turned 14, I was really bad about drugs. I was looking really hard for XTC and even experimented with "hillbilly heroin" and alcohol. I used to hide like...60% vodka in my room. I've stopped doing so many drugs now...all I do is occasional dope. Am I the bad son? Really, all I'm doing at this point is waiting until my 18th birthday. Dont get me wrong...I do other things too. I dj, make music (possibly on iTunes soon), design websites, raise bonsai trees, opened a dog clothing company, and give life advice...oh and photography, and make candles. I do alot of stuff on the side. I forgot to mention above that my grades are also dropping, ever since I turned 13. One more thing...I have a sister that turned out to be a great person. She has an awesome job in San Fransisco and she used to model. Then a brother who just got out of jail and has no job... so you see the both sides of my family And I'm worried that I going to turn out like my brother because my grades are dropping and I started drugs...that's what my mom said. This is my dads actions in the past/present (he's not a fun mannn!!!) a) he abandoned me in the woods b) he abandoned me in a parking lot c) he left me at my birthday party with no ride home d) he let me chew tobacco when I was 3-6 years old e) he would let me eat plants in the garden. f) he's the one that told me pot wasn't dangerous. g) He is currently trying to steal $1800 from me in medical benifits from when an alcoholic 15 year old tripped me down the stairs (compound fracture, right arm) h) he is making me buy my own car and buy my own gas and my own insurance "aww, hell! You don't need a car until your 18 years old anyway" -My Dad! more

Voting Question: Question about a guy I'm crushing on and currently talking to. Does he like me or not? What else should I know?

Here it goes: So there is this guy who I'm talking to. We didn't know each other at all, had no classes together, or lunch together, but I always wanted to talk to him, he looked like a humble guy, someone different and not to talk about very good looking. So for the next week, my friends were trying to help me out by giving me motivation, because I AM a VERY shy girl when it comes to men. And it took one of my friends to go tell him without me knowing that i wanted to talk to him (which scared the living peaches out of me) and I thought he was just going to walk away from that, but actually did want to talk to me as well, but on that day I left early and he approached me two days later when he had school. He looked hella nervous before he came to talk to me, and looked like he was about to walk away but then he said my name and that's where it all started (I had added him on my facebook, which is how he knows my name). I mean we talked and he asked me for my number. he text me the next day and we text for 8-9 hours straight. And it went very well. And we don't text often, and I kinda like that. We usually talk in person during school, and I give him a laugh sometimes in our convos and we basically talk about anything. At first it was getting to know each other questions. I mean whenever we text or talk, they're long convos, and I really enjoy talking to him, I mean, I guess I kinda like him now :]] But sometimes he doesn't text me and I text him. The last time i spoke to him was on a Friday and it's Sunday now. He hasn't text me since, and sometimes I wonder if I should text him, but I don't want to be obsessive, like text him every god dam hour and annoying him. I mean, I know I would hate that. And sometimes I feel maybe he doesn't like me, but then again he looked for me and sat down with me this Friday and we spoke. He loves my art and photography. And found out I can sing and I'm learning the guitar. I also know he sings as well, has an rnb group and he's a very dedicated person. He loves his family, hard worker. We both want to be teachers as well. We love music, but our music tastes are different, because...well I'm "a rocker" (i listen to industrial, metal, melodic death metal, hardcore, rock.roll, funk rock etc) according to him and he's the "ghetto kid" (rnb, rap and "everything"". But we share our music and he likes some bands I like and know as well =]] We can both drive, but we have no car. But the BIG question is, how long should I wait until our first date? Who is supposed to ask who out on a date (cuz he is kinda shy, but so am I >.<). I've never had a boyfriend, never dated...so I'm kind of new to all this guy stuff. And he's the first guy I never knew who I got to know. Sometimes I think I'm doing things wrong, maybe I should try to text him more often? or I don't know. Sometimes he acts so normal. Is the fact that we still aren't making body contact ok?(e.g. hugging or kiss on the cheek). And remember, it's only been a week and a half we've been talking. So anything i missed or anything I should know? Please enlighten me.He also cut class just to talk to me on Friday, I didn't like that, but it felt pretty cool :) more

Resolved Question: does this seem like a fair price for wedding photography?

Based on the information you provided, below is my recommended coverage for your wedding photography. In thanking you for your consideration, I have applied deep discount on the pricing. Also, I waved the travel expenses and the design fee for the DVD slideshow. I have a couple of weddings to shoot in April and May. I would ask you to wait and see how your engagement photos come out and the wedding photos I take in April and May to decide if you want to hire me for your wedding photography or not. ^_^ $840 (70% off original price of $2800) v Pre-event consultation v 8~10 hours photography for getting ready, ceremony, portraits, and reception v Unlimited photography during time hired v Assistant / second photographer v Online image proof v Images with retouching and artistic effects v High resolution images on CD with personal rights v DVD wedding slideshow with music this person is a professional portait photographer just starting out in weddings. She is doing our engagement photo session for free this monday, giving us a photo dvd with personal rights for printing. What do you think?? I fear that almost 900 for someone with very limited wedding experience is sorta steep. I hate the idea of bargaining with someone over their "craft" (i feel its a lot different to bargain for a car, house etc.) however I cant help but think man, almost a grand on someone who hasnt really got any experience seems crazy more

Resolved Question: What should I do/ get my boyfriend for our 2 year anniversary?

We've already done almost everything imaginable. I made him a scrapbook, he's made me a picture frame, I've put all our pictures over the past two years in a digital picture frame, he's taken me on a helicopter ride, and swimming with dolphins I've written him a letter with all the reasons i love him and taken him to his favorite restaurants. He likes his car, and I like Photography. I'm all out of ideas and I have no idea what he's doing either. Any Ideas? Nothing too expensive. Preferably under $100. oh, and I'm 17, he's 19. more

Open Question: Can someone please explain to me what my new creative ability is?

I have always been a creative person. I have explored all of the arts and tried them all. I have done video production, photography, fine art, music, theater. I am skilled in the abilities surrounding those areas. Like I have a really good photographer's eye, I can set up lighting, I can act, I am teaching myself piano (I have a good ear). But lately when I see certain material things (ie; rocks, structures, trees, walls, buildings) or areas (ie; housing, nature, buildings, anywhere) I instantly get visual ideas of OTHER locations that the areas remind me of. I visualize places I have never been before. Sometimes certain smells also give me ideas too but not as much. I am a high school student and my ideas do not happen too often at school. They happen more when I am like outside in nature or riding in a car and pass by places. It is nothing bad or dangerous. Just something cool that I have recently acquired, that's all. I have tried putting my ideas on paper and have been fairly successful with communicating the picture well. I have thought about putting my new ability to work by doing set design in theater or production design in film. Animation has been an idea too. My question is if anyone knows what is happening to me. Like if it is some kind of medical condition maybe? Lol. more

Resolved Question: What horror movie is this?

I saw this movie late on tv a few years back and I cant remember what it was called. Sorry if this is a bit long but there is a lot that I remember from the movie Characters- 1. A teenager guy who loves photography 2. His little sister who is probably 10-12 3. The teenagers guy friend who is also a teenager but not into photography 4. The photographers dad who might have been played by Jurt Russell 5. The photographers step mom who might be played by Bonnie hunt or an older actress like susan sarandon. she was very petit Movie Plot- - The teenager knows about this abandoned town that isn't really a ghost town but it's deserted and its kinda one of those old fashioned towns and there is a diner close to the town - When the five people go to see this town they stop at the diner and when the people in the diner find out where these people are going they look linda worried but don't say anything - The family gets back on the road to go to this town only for a few hours so the teen can get some good pictures - They go into this building with a bunch of shelves and I think they were stocked with canned food and stuff - The sister finds this video camera and she watches the video and sees this other group of college kids who went to the town, she also sees most of them get attacked by these creatures you never see in the movie - She shows it to her family and they realize that these people had the same car trouble as them - The five people try to push the car out of the town but it doesn't move at all - Later on in the movie the stepmom goes to find a bathroom and she is walking on these old wood planks that are in front of a store and she falls and they crack under her and she gets up and she is on this really small chunk of rock underground and all around her except a rock wall is just a hole in the earth and if she makes any sudden moves she might fall into god knows what - The photographer teen who came with her lowers himself with a rope and gets her but when they are climbing back up to the surface they hear a heavy breathing under them that is climbing really fast and the son takes out a gun and shoots at the creature that you still never see - The family goes back to the diner and when the sister is getting her food she recognizes the waitress as the girl who survived in the video camera she found and the girl gives the sister this really strange look - They try to get out of the town and sleep in a nearby motel but the dad wakes up and thinks there is a creature outside the window - They leave in the middle of the night and when they are driving away you see the creatures point of view coming toward the car and then the car gets hit really bad and they realize they will never be able to leave - The movie finishes off when you see the sister playing basketball and the dad and stepmom now work in the diner and these people come to the diner and say they are going to the town and the people who work there just look at them the same way and don't say anything to the people. more

Resolved Question: My sisters boyfriend is always hanging around! it drives me nuts!!!!!?

OK, well, my sister has a boyfriend. He practically lives at my house. He comes over, monday to friday, after they get out of class, for like, 4-5 hours. He sleeps over every saturday night, and goes home at 8:30 every night (except of course, saturday). He's been over everyday except for one since the 13th. I am only 13. My parents won't ban him from the house, 'coz he's done nothing wrong. He's a nice kid, but he's ALWAYS here. My sister also treats my parents and I like c*ap and like servants when he is here, and when she is on the phone to him, or on msn to him and her other cool mates. The only thing I'm jealous of (JUST slightly), is that he spends 10 times more time with her, and she wont give me the time of day. I have to try 10 times more than he does. I also try being very nice to her, but it's not working. This has been going on for weeks. The lot of it. I'm slowly going insane, please help me, I'm desperate. I have no friends. Two, but one lives an hour away and one lives 40 minutes away. Its too far on public transport, and we don't have a car. My music lesson is private, but where I take them, they are all like that. No chance of making friends. I am becoming a prisoner in my own room! I have no where else to go, except for half an hour every friday, before they get in from school-a music lesson. I am home-schooled, and there are zero clubs, groups, other classes etc. to join around here. I might be able to go some places but why should i feel like a stranger in my own home and my own room? Other than that, there's no where else. The bus fares are gonna add up, and music lessons are pricey. If any one has any other ideas, I could really use them. I could really use some different ideas to get this kid to not hang around so much, to get my sister off of the phone OR msn. The library, photography, and swimming can only last so long. I am majorly desperate. At most there are these places I can go sometimes: 3 different pools 3 different libraries 3 different shopping centres 3 places for local photography. These things are going to run out of steam-fast. Especially since I have to be with an adult (mum or dad) to go anywhere. If someone can help me, I'm getting really sick of her games, and his face. Please help me!!!He's a nice kid, and I don't want to be rude, I just don't want him around everyday and sleeping over every weekend. I've talked to my parents: nothing. My sister: nothing. I'm at my wits' end! Please help! more

Resolved Question: What photography equipment do you think is the most important?

Obviously, there are tons of gadgets out there for studio photography. And, while some are important or at least moderately essential, I figure the vast majority of them are not. I'm trying to get a general guideline of what is somewhat necessary as opposed to what is not. For example, in a studio setup, you need lighting and backdrops as starters. Simple enough. And, on the opposite end of the spectrum, who really "needs" a remote shutter trigger, green screen or gels? They may be nice to have but certainly not required. But, there are several things that sort of seem to fall in between and I'm not sure what to bother with and what not to unless I find myself with extra cash or something like that. For example - reflectors, soft boxes and things of that nature. I currently have some economy CF continuous lights (set of 3) with 2 white umbrellas, several backdrops, some DIY gels, and a car sun-viser I bought to use as a reflector. As for actual camera attachments, I'm using a bridge camera, like a point and shoot on steroids, so while it has a lot of features, interchangeable lenses are not one of them. I might upgrade to a DSLR once i can afford it so long as it allows for a Live View LCD. I only use the onboard flash (when needed), a pop-up flash diffuser and occasionally a wide angel attachment. I found out that a few things I have are essentailly useless for what i'm doing such as a neutral density filter. Any info about the basics of what I should have/get would be great. Emphasis on - basics.I thought this went without saying but I mean besides the camera and memory card/film. more

Resolved Question: From a spiritual perspective, is learning about liberal arts a waste of time?

Liberal arts studies, include learning about music, art history, electives, home economics, cooking, photography, anthropology, studying poetry of long-dead poets, philosophy, and foreign languages. Does somebody who is going to end up being a McDonald's burger-flipper, Flight attendant, bartender, housekeeper, surgeon, electrician, car mechanic, or truck driver really benefit from reading Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, or Psychology 101, or painting a picture of hands splattered on the canvas, or spending hours fiddling away with a flute, or putting your eyes on a viewfinder taking pictures of birds sitting outside the trees of the school's campus. Is this necessary and useful in life and do people really need to learn this stuff? What do you think? more

Resolved Question: Could I get some information on San Diego? I'm a cook and want to go to San Diego City College for photography?

Hello! I know there are a million similar postings, but I guess it's not the same when it's not specific to you! First some general information about me... I'm 26, currently living in Arizona. I'm thinking either before summer or right after, I will be moving to San Diego to attend classes at San Diego City College. I have my culinary degree and have been cooking since I was 15, so I don't think I'll have too much trouble finding a cooking job out there, but my true passion is photography and that's why I want to go to school for it. I also love the ocean and have been to San Diego a few times and really enjoyed it! Here are my questions: 1.) Have any of you been to SDCity or known someone who has? Is it a nice school? I hear they have a good photography program. 2.) Is the best way to find a place out there through craigslist? I think the most I'll be able to afford for rent will be $500, so it seems to be the most economical way. 3.) How is the job market when it comes to cooking? I understand photography is tough to get into pretty much anywhere and I'm assuming it's even tougher in San Diego, but I'm not sure. 4.) What specific areas should I search in for apartments that are proximal to SDCity? 5.) How much does it cost to register your car and get a drivers license there? It cost me about $430 to move to Arizona DMV. I have a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Thank you very much for all your info! Chris more

Resolved Question: Emotionally Abusive Mom PLEASE HELP ME!?

I have never felt so much pain from someone in my life. My mom constantly hurts me, but she acts like she doesn't know. I'm 17, her only daughter. I have 3 brothers, and she treats me horribly. So much, in fact, that I'm terrified of being at home because I never know when I'm doing something that will make her upset. Whenever she doesn't like something that I do (which is most everyday) she takes some item or "privilege" away from me. Like she won't let me go onto youtube or twitter for over a month. She's taken away my music, my phone, internet, tiem I get to spend with friends, some of my clothes, and money before. It seems like she gets upset at me for almost everything. I'm almost 17, she gets mad if I put a thumbnail size picture of me online. She got mad when she saw I had one of my guy friends (nothing sexual) following me on twitter. She got mad when I started following FRED on youtube. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if any of my brothers do these things, she doesn't mind at all. At least once a week she sits me down to "talk" to me about something (usually something I've done wrong), and they usually end up with her taking something from me, putting restrictions on me, or slamming me with chores. I've triend so hard to be good and do everything perfect. I'm honest, I try nicely telling her how she makes me feel. I try so hard not to get mad, and I don't. I try to have a nice discussion with her, but she bashes me everytime. For example, she won't even let me get on facebook. She tells all about how it's bad and starts listing a super-long list of negative effects and how I should stay away from it. And I told I only wanted it so that I could let others view my work, such as writings, photography, and my vlog (which is 100% true). And THEN, she turns right around and creates one herself and talks all about it in front of me. She's constantly making me feel stupid, alone, worthless, unimportant, used, fat (and I weigh 115), unwanted, and pathetic. And then she turn right around saying "Oh, I love you" and still treats me the same way. Sometimes she buys things like clothes or takes me out to lunch every and then, but it's only as a cover-up. Whenever I try to tell her how her actions and words make me feel she always adds something like "well, I take you out to lunch every month, how is that being cruel?" And she acts like she cares about me... When she talks to me, she sympathises with me, but then it always comes back to bite me. 6 months ago I had some questions about my boyfriend, and I wasn't sure about him (and I'm most definetly not a flake). She guess something was wrong, and when she would pick me up from work at night (I don't have my liscence) she would hammer me with questions and not let me out of the car until I answered them. She went so far as making me break up with my boyfriend on a certain day, and wouldn't let me go to work until I did. I'm not a self mutilator at all, but these past few months... I just don't know how much longer I can take. She's constantly hurting me, or embarrassing me, and I don't know what I should do. I really don't know what else I can do. Please, if you're still reading this, please help me. Please. more

Resolved Question: Which of these pictures is the best?

I am in a college photography class and there is an automotive art show coming up and I want to enter a photo. I just don't know which one. It is free to enter the show so it wouldn't be a waste of my money. It's not a serious show or anything. It's for college students. My first question is are any of these are even good enough to enter an art show without being humiliated? If they are, which one should I use? Here is the link. There's only 15 photos. http://s669.photobucket.com/albums/vv58/Maeby239/Cars/ I think I like this one the best. http://s669.photobucket.com/albums/vv58/Maeby239/Cars/?action=view&current=DSCF7098-2.jpg more

Resolved Question: How could this guy got so lucky?

I have a friend who is 24 and been attending college for years, but never graduated. He have no real stable job of any type, doesn’t belongs to any real niche or have very many friends, no car, and is living with two female roommates. He usually do things like bicycle courier, art, photography, modeling, maintaining a large private aquarium for owners, and other things. He races jet ski and fight professionally. Yet for some reason, he never seems to broke at all. He goes out of country at least once a year, travel around country fairly often, get lot of free clothes frequently, and seems to be able to get into almost anything he wants to for free! He have got in many exhibit, museums, and other things for free. He’s no head turner, he’s more of what people would describe as “ugly-handsome” which mean he could be incredible charming and a lady’s man but at the same time look like he’s ready to kill you. He’s slightly small for a average guy and doesn’t look that intimidating but there’s just something about him that you cannot quite put finger on but have a feeling that there’s ice in his vein. Especially since he’s quite fond of fighting, messing with others head, and getting revenge on others whom he feel deserve it. What really annoy me is, every time I’m with him, there always at least one girl who would end up flirting with him. Today we were at a restaurant and he wasn’t even paying attention to the waitress, but the waitress start to tease him, move in seductive way, and end up flirt with him for good 10 minutes and ask him to come back.. My jaws dropped at this! Especially since she pretty much ignored me the whole time. Other time he was mad because he doesn’t get a date with this girl, so he wait a couple days then don a suit and adjust his behave then went into art gallery and the girl was all over him. He also have been known to be a home breaker (he have seduce some married women) I just feel so frustrated by all of this. I work really hard to overcome many barriers to get my degree, get a job, tries to know as many people as possible, be as outgoing as possible, and everything. I have many friends in similar situation. Yet none of us seems as lucky as this guy. Why does he seems to have everything all good eventhough if most guys tried to be like him, they’d be laughed at and ignored? more

Resolved Question: Help with Project Ideas please!?

I have a photography project where we have to take 20 photos based on the theme of 'Journey'. Our tutor gave us two examples- one he did himself was to take photos from inside a moving car at night. All the lights from street-lamps and cars came up all distorted and squiggly. Another idea done by a student from a different class was to take photos of his journey from bed to the kitchen (eg. a photo of the rumpled bed sheets, his feet going down stairs, switching on the kettle, etc.) The tutor said to try to think of something a bit different and quirky, but simple. I have a few ideas myself, but none i particularly like :( Can anyone help me out? more

Resolved Question: Which SLR is right for me?

Long story short, my car was broken into. I'm an amateur photographer who was formerly shooting with a Nikon D50, which is now stolen. I'm trying to keep my mind open to new options at this point, perhaps there's a better camera out there that's better suited for my needs? I often shoot in low-light settings, concerts etc... I do a lot of portraits and fashion photography, band shoots...etc... But I'm also a sucker for raw beauty, macro and cityscapes.

Resolved Question: Need tips on moving to hawaii [specifially from people who live there]?

I'm thinking of moving to Hawaii. I currently work at a call center and i've spoken to a handful of customers from Hawaii, though i do have limited time to hold a conversation with them. I've been told it's a wonderful place to go to, it's not much expensive and if i'm up for it, then do it while i'm young. I just bought a new camera for my photography because i needed it bad for the extra money I plan on making with it. So I am currently left with around $950 as of right now. In two weeks i'll be back around $1500. So i was wondering.. since it would take about $200 for a bus and another $400 for a plane from CA to Hawaii.. i'd be $600 down having only a little left. I do not have a car. and looking up apartments in Hawaii i see that there are quite a few that are around $500 - $600 a month. First off, what kind of jobs are in Hawaii?? Is it easy to get hired around any specific island or is it a great challenge? Is it hard living over there or is it pretty laid back and okay? As far as not having a car, i bike everywhere or skate everywhere. So are things pretty much in a walkable distance or is a car much more recommended? Can you take a boat from island to island for a suitable price? Or is it kind of pricy? Any certain islands i should stay away from or attract more to? Or any specific cities i should look into more than others? Any other advice would be wonderful please. ThanksMan... those are both really really good answers. Well, i'm from all around states from Large cities to minor cities. As of now i'm currently in a minor city and the pay isn't so great and it seems impossible for me to get out of this state [Virginia]. I currently live with my mother, and we have no reason to get along in any situation it seems and I tend to stay with friends or sleep on the streets when it comes to a daily argument her and I get into. My dad I can get along with and but he's off doing his own thing right now. Btw i'm 19 if I havn't stated. So i'm wondering if it'd be better for me to stay here and just push it out with the job I have, or to throw my cash into Hawaii for a chance. I'm very skilled with computer languages, I do Videography during the summer for extra cash and photography on my own time. Is it legal to sleep or tent on a beach in Hawaii until a job is found or would that be a definate no? I'm kinda stuck between street, or Hawaii right now aha more

Resolved Question: Boyfriend won't work, need advice!?

I have been pulling most of the weight around the house. I make about 3,200 a month after taxes and he makes about 300.00 a or so month doing photography gigs here and there. I pay the electricity, the cable and internet, my car, insurance, furniture bills, cell phones, etc ,etc. Sometimes we struggle mostly because he doesn't make enough money. I worked so hard in school to get my degree to be able to have a decent life. We moved into this huge apartment which he promised to help pay and still no luck. His business in photography due to the economy has been struggling but I told him to get a whatever job meanwhile to bring in consistent amounts of money. He refuses and say he makes more money this way and that he's not going to lower himself. We almost broke up over this but I decided to give it another chance. We even talked about marriage, but now we are hitting financial problems again and he will not get a job. I try to tell him to and he say I'm a gold digger and that I should have more faith. Also that it worries him how money directs my mood. I tell him we owe so much and he says don't worry. He tries to push the business instead of getting a real job. He's here all day doing god knows what while I get up everyday at 6 am to get to work!!!! Am I wrong for telling him to get a job? Also I started thinknig that I'm not gonig ot marry him since I would be paying for al lthe wedding. I do care about him, but it bothers me that he won't help out. I don't wanna be with somebody who would let me struggle when he can easily get a job. more

Resolved Question: Party Idea's! I need some! I always have to plan early!?

Okay so I'm turning 15 March 2nd and I know its like 2 months away but I plan in advance. My dad may be losing his job this month but he said I could still have a party as long as it wasn't too pricey. It's probably going to be at my house. I don't have too many idea's for it. So here's some information about location and what I like and such. Location: My House. I live lakeside the bad part is it's snowy but it would come with some great photography. There's a tiny island in the center of the lake the we have a boat to get to but it'd be quite chilly. My house itself is mid-sized. Down stairs I have a living room with a porch that overlooks the lake. Upstairs I have a very large recreational room. We could do somethings up there. Next to the rec room I have a large bathroom with a walk-in closet my friends adore. We always spend hours in there "primping" as my father calls it. Things I Like: I enjoy listening to music all the time. I like nearly everything except most screamo scares me. My favorite is pop or punk and techno is cool too(: I like taking pictures and getting my picture taken. Getting my hair done/ doing hair is quite enjoyable. Same with makeup and dressing up. Oh I have 3 dogs and a beautiful kitten. I'm not sure how that's relevant though. Most of my friends drive so mobilization won't be an issue. I also already have a large car that we could all pile into. I think my father would allow a maximum of 15 girls to come over. He hasn't decided about boys this year. Only Idea's I have: The party can not be dirty or sexual. I'd like it to be a slumber party. Watching a movie? All of my friends are the same sized clothes and shoes. We have tons of makeup and hair products. I aiming towards a fashion/photo-shoot party but I'm not exactly sure what to do with that. Like set up the stairs/living room as a runway. Winter clothes for pictures outside..I do have a camera for pictures so that won't be a problem. I think that's all I have to say. So i'd like for you to suggest your ideas. Thanks :D Oh and if you're still reading this sorry it was so long.Me and my friend are having it together :D She likes the idea of the whole model thing we just don't know where to go with it. more

Resolved Question: I already asked this...in the wrong section, what does this bizarre dream mean?

I usually go with the whole "Dreams are just a summary of your day" thing, but this one was totally random and weird. It felt insanely real. So, I was in this underground parking structure and Kurt Cobain was there and he told me to get into his car and watch Frances (his daughter, for those of you that don't know). This obviously wasn't suppose to take place now because for one he was alive and 2, she was in a car seat. Anyway, so I'm watching her and then he gets our the car and I start panicking because I feel like I can't watch her by myself, and I'm thinking, "Shit wtf am I suppose to do??" and then he comes back and I'm relieved. Then he gets in the car and we're driving and we go further down into the parking structure (I dream about this PARTICULAR parking structure A LOT, at least 4 completely different times). In the dream the name of the parking floor is "W*********" my last name...and the name of a city in Seattle haha a total give away but whatever I want to be specific. I turn to Frances and I say, "What does that say?" and she says "W" and I start laughing because the way she says it is really cute. Then we get out the car and we're at this outdoor mall that seems familiar but I've never been to a place like it in reality...I don't think. Then it gets scary....Courtney Love shows up with some guy and we're on one of these things http://www.urban-photography-art.com/image-files/dnc.jpg inside a building that takes us to the outdoor mall, like we have to ride this out of the parking structure. Kurt's wearing a bear hat and He's holding Frances' stroller and Courtney's flirting with this random guy and starts making out with him and Kurt looks at me and then looks at the ground as if to say, "Yeah this happens all the time." and I was thinking "What the f*ck?" and then we're outside at the mall and we're both pushing Frances and Courtney leaves with that guy and then I see all of these kids I "know". I know a few of them in reality, some of them are random people I've never seen. So I'm hanging out with them, and then my "best friends" at the moment who I'm sort of drifting from ...show up and I sit down with them and then I turn to the kids I was with before and I start talking to them (they're at a different table) and my "friends" at my table are like "Shut up! You're being rude." which makes no damn sense, and I ignore them, and then Kurt shows up again and says "What the hell are you doing we need to go, NOW." and I woke up sweating like CRAZY even though my room was freezing. Needless to say it scared the SH*T out of me and I remember EVERY detail. I usually remember bits and pieces but I remembered this like it happened. I usually don't think dreams mean anything but this creeped me out and had nothing to do with my day and I thought dreams were when you go over everything that happened in your head...so yeah what the hell does this all mean? I'm sure it just means I have an overactive imagination...and that I need to go to bed now. more

Resolved Question: Does this look accurate?

My boyfriend and I are hoping to get our own place in a year or two. We have been together for almost two years now. Would it be cheaper to rent or to buy a house for like under $150,000 under my name. I am worried about how i'm going to afford this. Right now I'm going to college. Currently I am working at getting my Bachelors in Art education to become a photography, graphic arts,interior design, pottery and/or jewelry. I'm interested in all aspects of it but not sure if I could do photography as a career lets say. Anyways, does this sound accurate for two people? My boyfriend is not in college but he is working in a store but I'm assuming in case he looses his job or something happens so that way I'll be able to make enough money for the both of us if that happens. We want to stay around 20miles within or around Aurora,Illinois(about an hour from chicago). I have two cats and we have to take them with us. One of them is really picky and only eats wet food. -.- How can I make this work that we can get our own place in a year or two. I'll be getting my Associates in Arts education by then. And thinking after that to try and get a bachelors OR go to vet school depending and all. Also, I figure before we move out I'll save the first month's rent or payments AND at least $700 in emergency money.
