God Only Knows

So I just got a credit card about a week ago and I want to know how long it will take me to build credit. This is my first ever credit card, I have had no previous credit experience.

If I do everything right with my credit card, how long on average will it take me to reach about 620 for my credit score? Give or take?

Additionally, I would welcome any tips anyone can offer me on how to build credit faster and/or any rookie mistakes I should avoid making. But "how long" is my main question.

Thank you in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My girlfriend works for 8 hours, then is off for 2 hours (not including driving time) where she can rest. Then she has to go to school for 5 hours where she stands most of the time. So she is essentially on her feet for 12 ish hours.

She has been having foot and knee pain and I was wondering if there is anything anyone can think of to help lessen her pain?

All serious answers are very appreciated.

Thanks.

Pretty much it. I m looking to make really good quality home movies, movies that are really crisp and clear, but I dont think my computer can handle 1080p b/c it s not that great lol.

Anyway, I know I can film in 1080p and watch it on my computer at lower qualities, b/c thats how it works on youtube.

My question is essencially, is there a difference in quality between a video that was shot in 1080p and watched in 720p vs. a video that was filmed in 720p and watched in 720p. Sorry, it s probs a stupid question, but I m a super noob at this stuff. Total layman.

I would just film in 1080p and watch at w/e lower resolution i needed, but I figure a camera that can film in 1080p is likely more expensive than their 720p counterparts. So it makes a difference to me.

On july 2nd i went to a graduation party. The tattoo was covered most of the time. Then I got in my swimsuit and put sunblock on the tattoo. I waited about 10 minutes before i got in the pool. Then after i got out the tattoo hurt. By the time i got home my shoulder felt like someone punched it. It felt fine for a few days after. Then yesterday i just bumped it on a towel rack and it hurts so bad today. I got the tattoo 2 years ago but it is still kinda raised. Its on my right side at the top of my back on my shoulder.

It is really bothering me. If anyone knows why my tattoo might be hurting me, please let me know. Any help you can give is appreciated. thx.

I'm looking for a phone with a full keyboard, no contract, prepaid, no touch screen, and cheap. I only want it for talk and text.

Does anyone know of a phone fitting this description?

I live in ohio and I m currently going to the local community college to finish up my associates of arts degree. I ve decided that I don t want to continue school for a degree because school is wayyyyy too expensive for me. I ve been looking into apprenticeships and found an optician apprenticeship which I think I ll enjoy a lot. I know that I would be a paid intern, but does anyone know if interns get benefits? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Soooo, I'll paint a picture of my lovely scenario. I met this girl who's a friend of my sister's (Which isn't a problem, I already checked with my sis) and we talked a bit and we're going to hang out on the weekend and see Thor 2 at the movies.

Well I really like her, and I think she might like me to. But I'm not really sure. But that's not important anyway. Lets just assume she doesn't like me like that atm. I'm like 99% sure I did not friend zone my self, I was very careful and avoided all the classic mistakes.

I want to know how I can get her to like me during this little hang-out shindig on the weekend, while also continuing to avoid the friend zone.

Tips, tricks, do's and don'ts, anything any of you guys have in your little bag of knowledge on the topic of guys attracting girls, especially things that you've found effective from 1st hand experience (For you guys, anything that works well for you, or for you guys, anything you feel works well for guys when they're trying to get you to like them.)

Thanks a lot. :)

My friends and I are attempting to make a video game and to do so we need music. We've decided that creating our own is our best option and are now looking for the right software for the job (Which is why I've come to Y!A).

So I guess I should probably tell you what we're looking for...

Ideally we want something that can do instrumental as well as techno music. Specific instruments might include piano, drums, and various types of guitar (Thought possibly others would also be useful). Even better if you can mix the instrumental w/ the techno but you don't have to. That could give us some really cool effects.

Also, I would most likely be the one doing the music and I don't know much about computers or creating music with computers (My other team mates are handling the coding end, while I do a lot of the conceptual work. None of us really know much about making music). So it would be endlessly helpful if this music creation program was at least moderately easy to use.

Lastly, cost is always a factor. However, I don't want to leave anything off the table. If we can find the right software, we may just have to eat the price. But obviously cheaper is better.

So to sum up what we're looking for:

> Able to create both instrumental and techno

> At least partially user friendly

> Cheaper the better (Though always quality over price)

If anyone has any ideas of what we can use (Literally, anything that even vaguely fits this description would be worth looking into for us), I would really appreciate help with this.

I'm going to a potluck in October for Canadian thanks giving. I'm going to bring a taco salad because... you know... Taco salad. But I wanted to find a delicious recipe to wow my friends that didn't use meat or milk. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian or anything, I just don't usually like the taste. I like cheese, possibly I could even do cream (though not so much), so it isn't all dairy I dislike.

So! Does anyone have any recipe ideas for me? Maybe an old favourite or even one you've been meaning to try but never got around to it?

I was wondering if I had a perfectly healthy meal that wasn't particularly high in calories (Like fruits and a bit of raw veggies, for example), would that cause my body to go into starvation mode? It would be a smaller meal than what I usually eat calorie wise but probably healthier nutrition wise. :P

In other words, I'm looking to find out if starvation mode will kick into effect even though I'm clearly still eating and that food happens to be giving my body some much needed nutrients. Is starvation mode all about the calories? Will my body go into starvation mode by doing this?

I'm trying to lose 10 pounds in the next 30-45 days so this info will help a lot. I'm trying to eat smaller potions more often, but it's really hard sometimes to get a lot of calories into the day. Example: my first little "okay, I'm awake, get moving Mr. body" meal was a quarter of a cantaloupe. Taste and nutritious, but pretty low in calories.

Anyway, any help would be great. Thanx.

I'm pretty fat. I'm okay with that, really. I've fat in varying degrees for most of my life. But I also have man breasts, which is embarrassing. So I want to know what are the best exorcizes to get rid of man breasts? Do push ups work? Bench press? What?

Also, if there is a way to lessen my man-breasts in, say, a month, month and a half... that's be SUPER awesome, cuz there's a thanks giving party in October (I'm in Canada) and there's this girl I like going to be there, and I think she might be slightly interested. (Obviously, I'm going to be working on dropping some pounds from my stomach too, but the biggest concern for me is the topic of my question.)

Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.

I was considering having my blood type tattooed onto my arm in case of emergency situations, so paramedics/doctors/etc would know my blood type quickly.

I'm hesitant to go through with it however, as I am unsure if it would be of any practical use. In other words, would a paramedic or a doctor who saw my tattoo ever in a million years just take my tattoo at face value and give me that type of blood?

The famous holocaust poem, "First they came..." by Martin Niemöller. I want to know if it's public domain or if someone owns the rights to it. Can anyone help please?

I don't want to write an actual romance novel per se, but I would like to be able to add romantic elements to my fiction. I'm looking for a how-to book that can help me get better at this.

Simply put (at the risk of repeating myself), I want a book that will help me learn to add romantic elements to my fiction.

I'm not opposed to the idea of a book that focuses on teaching how to write an entire romance novel, as I'm certain I would be able to extrapolate and only add elements of what I learnt (from said romance novel how-to book) to my (non-romance) novel that I would be writing... Clear? Hopefully?

I just want something that's good. Really good.

I saw a video about this magnet train that runs through a tunnel and all the gass and everything is sucked out of the tunnel so it's basically a vacuum. They theorize they can eventually get a train that can go around 3500 miles per hour through a vacuum.

This is an interesting if not amazing accomplishment on its own, but can a human being survive the g force of going that fast? I know jet pilots pass out without flight jackets and they never go near 3500 MPH. Is there something about moving through a vacuum that lessens G forces? Certainly astronaut must go pretty fast without use of flight jackets.

I guess my real question is, can this train ever really work the way they want it to or will gravity keep them down?

I always feel ideologically isolated and half the time I'm frustrated by the (Supposed) values of others.

I want to find someone to talk to about random crap but who somewhat approximates the way I feel about things. Someone with a similar world view. I don't suppose there's any kind of website where this sort of thing happens? Like a database of ideologies, find the one you're looking for and talk to the person? Like the facebook of philosophy, maybe.

I just bought my gf her first vibrator today. She's a virgin so I wanted to get her something she didn't have to put inside of her to get pleasure from. I figured the vibrations from a vibrator would work. I went with the "neon luv touch one touch 5 function bullet" it's small and I figured she could just use it around the outside of vagina.

Well she shoved it down her pants as soon as I showed it to her. I was a little pleased to see her enthusiasm but nervous to see her response. Well, I was right to be nervous because as soon as she turned it on she wanted to turn it off. She could not get it out of her pants fast enough. She said it was uncomfortable and actually painful. This was not the response I was looking for at all!

She said she put it right on her hole, so I wonder if maybe it might have to do with it being really sensitive on her hymen? But I really don't know much about the vagina so I dunno what it could be other than that.

She's out with friends now but with be home soon and is eager to experiment with her new toy (and me, of course). I really want this to feel good for her, but obviously if it's hurting her it wont feel good.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me 1) what the problem is. Do some girls just not enjoy vibrators?? or what? and 2) if there is a better way of using this thing on her. She is eager now, but she has a habit of disliking things too quickly if all doesn't go just right. And I know a lot of girls really enjoy it.
