I work in a restaurant in DC, and need a few questions answered concerning taxes and minimum wage.

The first concerns my hourly wages and taxes. When I began working there, I was never given a form to fill out for tax claims, and every two weeks (regardless of the number of hours I work or how much I make in tips) I receive a voided check; apparently everything goes straight to taxes. I also don't claim my own taxes.

My second question is about the minimum wage... Once a week I work as a busboy and am paid $25 for a 6-7 hour shift. In this restaurant, busboys also act as baristas and food runners, and they receive 20% of the servers' tips. If this means that the busboy only qualifies for the minimum wage for servers, the $25 isn't so bad, but if the busboy should receive regular minimum wage, I'm getting screwed...

Is anyone very familiar with this topic or know where I should turn for advice?

How can I obtain tickets for Obama's inauguration?

I currently do not have health insurance and want to know if anyone knows of an affordable but good dentist in the DC / VA / MD area. I don't mind distance, I just want quality care that won't leave me homeless :-)

My boyfriend is French and is looking for a grammar book to improve his English even though he stopped taking classes, preferably a book in English so that I can essentially teach him. Anyone have any recommendations?

I am cooking dinner for my boyfriend tonight, he wanted veal but I have no idea how to cook. Right now, I have veal, lemons, stir-fry potatos, and some herbs, eggs, etc (no flour). Any ideas?

My friend is a huge Ron Paul supporter, I'm liberal (more socialist than democrat) and he called me a "neocon."

I thought "neocon" was a term for extreme conservatives, was I wrong? Not trying to start a left vs. right debate here, just second-guessing myself.

Does anyone know where I could purchase an apron in or around DC?

The heels of me feet are horrendous, extremely rough and white. I've tried using pumus stone, lotions, etc to improve them, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions

Would you support making Election Day a national holiday? Why or why not?

I'm a journalism student looking for an audio recorder, but I want to purchase one that can be used to cover speeches as well as personal interviews.

Does anyone know of an affordable audio recorder that would suite both needs? I'm terrified of spending $100 or more only to find out that recordings of large speeches are inaudible.

Recently I've had problems starting up my computer... The Vaio logo will come up, then the screen will turn blank and remain that way for a few minutes, at which point I restart it. After enough tries, it will turn on. Anyone know what the problem could be or how to fix it? I really can't afford a new computer right now and need it for school.

I am a junior in college, but I just transfered and am now away from my family, friends, and everything I know. It's been 1 1/2 months and I still have no motivation... It wasn't like this before, and I'm not sure what to do. The school is great academically, nothing at home could match it, but I simply don't feel like myself. I had straight As before leaving, I currently have Cs and, if I can't push myself to study and work like I used to, it will only get worse.

Any advice?

I just had a LEEP done 3 days ago and have not yet had any bleeding or discharge. How long does that normally take to start? I'm sick of wearing pads all day for no reason.

My 96 Jetta's high beams won't shut off, it feels like the lever is misaligned or not clicking into place, is there anyway I can fix it without taking it to the shop so I am not blinding everyone I pass at night?
