I bought a 2009 Accord in September and my living situation and finances have recently taken an awful turn. I can barely make my payment now and i can't handle the thought of destroying my credit and getting repo'ed. is there an option to trade it in for something cheaper? or am i just screwed?? help! i'm freaking out...

I just bought a 2009 Honda Accord a few weeks ago and EVERYTIME i get in it, that smell is just.....ahhhhh. how do i keep it? those little trees do not smell the same...anybody know any tricks?

i'm laid back, funny, have a great family, great friends, college degree, good job, awesome hair (lol), and the best german shepherd in the world!

what do i have to do? each new relationship just fizzles....nothing seems really amazingly groundbreaklingly awesome. and i'm not a snob about anything at all....i've dated so many different people and i love everybody!

what gives?

this girl i work with is 5 years younger than me, i'm supposed to be mentoring her and overseeing her work, but she is very pushy and acts like she owns the place- she's been there 6 months. she is disrespectful at times and it makes me crazy. i'm non-confrontational but i don't tolerate anyone telling me how to do my job, especially from some fresh out of high school child. when i DO call her out on her BS and tell her to cut it out and get her work done, she'll start slamming doors and cabinets and childish stuff like that. the worst part - MY supervisor is completely oblivious. she's really manipulative and only acts like this when he's not around, and then makes me look like an ogre when i actually enforce my role. i've been there 6 years and i'm not about to let some immature brat run me out...but i just want it to stop without jeopardizing my quality of work. i'm damn good at my job, but her actions are starting to affect me......HELP.

this winter is wicked cold and my hands have this weird rash around my knuckles and joints that's BRIGHT red and it burns when i put lotion on that eventually subsides.....is this just really bad winter skin? anybody with the same thing? lotion suggestions? i have tried everything..

ok, i've seen every episode in season 3 (i own S1 and S2) except for the first one!! i still feel kind of lost......can anyone tell me where to watch it on the web? ABC is only airing the last 4 on their website. ahk! i have to see it! thanks.

i keep getting an error message saying i'm critcally low on disk space and it won't let me save any more files to itunes. i'm afraid to remove files under the control panel because i dont want to get rid of something i need.....do i need a new computer or can i just buy more disk space somewhere? if i need a new computer, how do i import all my itunes songs? i cant lose 3000 songs!! ARGH!! help!!!

my friend and i are going to ireland for spring break next year. i am looking for some tips on where to stay/what to do/what NOT to do...etc. we will be in dublin for St. Patty's Day and we're just looking to get out of the states for a week and have some euro-fun. he's super excited but i'm kinda nervous...any tips for 1st time pond-hoppers?

anybody out there ever been to ireland?

i have em, do you have em?

i recently got allergy tested and it turns out that i am 4+ (the worst score) allergic to my cat and dog. along with a whole bunch of other things that i can't control.....my doctor is recommending i get weekly allergy shots and i'm just wondering if this actually helps people, it seems like it will take a really long time to get a little bit of relief. i'm going to do it either way, but i was just wanted to get some opinions from people who have gone through this.

anybody have experience with this?! did they help you?! i refuse to get rid of my pets, so i guess this is the next step.......

thanks :)

i couldn't care less about celebrities' lives if i tried. who the crap cares if paris hilton's dog took a big steamy one on the sidewalk or if britney spears is a bad mom (didn't we all see that coming anyway? she's a complete moron.....). does anyone else hate this channel?

give me james lipton any day.

i'm working on super-senior status (by the time i graduate, it will be 5 1/2 years), and i'm wondering.....is this an abnormally long time to get a Bachelor's degree? does it have anything to do with my major (biology)?

how long did you degree-holders out there take to graduate?

i want an NES system like the one i had when i as a kid! i miss super mario bros and duck hunt and mega man and all that.

does gamecube have these games JUST LIKE the ones that NES had, with the same characters and all that stuff? i have an xbox, but the games are so intense and complicated.....i just want to jump on some mushrooms and save the princess.....

help me!!

i live in dallas tx, and it's about 102-106 everyday here. the building i work in at night has a broken air conditioner and they have yet to fix it (it's in our corporate office's hands now, we can do nothing locally). i'm considering telling them that i refuse to come back until it's fixed because it is SO DAMN hot in there (90+ degrees). but i don't want to leave my co-workers hanging with a shift uncovered but i'm MISERABLE.

what would you do?

i'm freaking 22 years old and my parents live 300 miles away from me. i am completely independent (financially) and i am about to graduate college and start my career and my life. but my parents still keep me out of the loop on family affairs and act like i'm still a little kid. my cousin, who lives 5 miles from them and has a daughter my age, has to keep me in the loop on stuff that's going on, and none of it is really that big of a deal!!!!!! do i talk to them? do i just let it go and keep acting like i'm oblivious to what's going on!? help!!

i'm about to rip my hair out......

i started hanging out with this guy lately and we have a GREAT time together, but all we do is drink when we're together (which i'm all for, that's the charm of being 22), but i'm ready to do something different and.....well, sober. i want to invite him somewhere where we can't get sloshed and we can have a great conversation. any suggestions on how to bring this up without offending him?

i am moving in a few months and i have 3 cats. my current place knows i have them and they are really nice about it, but i paid $1200 in pet deposits to have them here, and i just cannot afford to pay it again. pet deposits in my area are really expensive and i'd rather just not tell the new place that i have any pets. any good/bad stories out there? i know all about the penalties/fees/repercussions.....blah blah...i'm just trying to save a buck. college life is expensive enough....

thanks!!

i got down to a 6g a few months ago but i got an infection and had to take my rings out. now i can barely get a 10g and i want to put some 8g plugs back in. besides tapers (i don't have any), is there a good way to stretch my ears quickly? any home-remedy type suggestions?? thanks!!

i am so tired of getting e-mails from these people that don't agree with how i answer of ask questions. it's my O-P-I-N-I-O-N. it doesn't mean i'm right or wrong, it's just what i think! why do we fight with each other and be nasty? it's like this YA and myspace/facebook/etc have become these little microcosms of reality and people get so worked up about........nothing.

any takers?

does anyone else think that there has been a serious decline in the quality of music today?

i am so sick of these whiny, talentless, toddlers who have nothing to say so they "write" these ridiculous songs and flood the airwaves with the music equivalent of feces (fallout boy, my chemical romance, etc.) does anyone think that today's youth has been robbed of good music? my personal opnion is that my generation (i'm 22) witnessed the last wave of good music in the 90s with bands such as Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction, and others. all this crap now is just noise. I keep up with all of it (or with what i can stand), and i just haven't been even halfway impressed with anything in the last 6 years.

anyone agree?
