This girl with whom I work likes to have parties at her house on the weekend. Nothing crazy like college kids have, but just some friends getting together, having drinks, and playing games. The thing is, I think she's made it pretty clear that she likes me and I think she would be into a hookup.

Neither of use is in a relationship kind of mindset, so to be clear, I'm NOT wondering how I can ask her out. What I want to know is how I can best bring up the topic of hooking up in a presentable way. She's having another party for the 4th of July this weekend and I figure it will be an opportune time to make the move. My main concerns are A. the other people with whom I work would find it weird and/or become jealous and B. I will ask her to hook up in a way that makes it sound awkward or pervish.

What's the best time to bring up the subject and how should I ask the question? I want to bring it up casually and smoothly so that it's clear that I haven't been thinking about it all night.

I've had Boost Mobile for several years now. I signed up because I never really got into the smartphone thing and I just needed a phone for texting and calling. Boost offered unlimited service for $50/month which was a pretty good deal back then when you used to have to sign up for a 2-year plan and still pay $80/mo.

These days it seems the big providers are all moving towards that same trend, offering unlimited text/talk as well as some data packages for about the same price. Boost Mobile has compensated for this by lowering their own prices--I now pay only $35/mo. for the same service. However, I'm starting to feel as if I could be more productive with a smartphone, using their nifty apps to do nifty things. I would still probably not even need a data plan, but it would be nice to browse the internet in a WiFi hotspot.

So my question is, can I get similar service for a similar price? I don't see myself paying more than $50/mo. and unlimited talk/text is mandatory. Which providers can offer this deal, and which ones have the best phones? I'll go ahead and say right now that I won't get an iPhone, because no one should pay $400 for a phone.

It is apparently by Louis Vuitton, but extensive searches for Louis Vuitton hats yielded nothing more than Scumbag Steve hats. I'm not looking for this specific hat, I just want to know what one would call such a hat.

I have a Sony Vaio and recently I cleaned the keyboard and I kinda made the mistake of doing while the laptop was on. I realise that what probably happened is that I pressed a combination of keys while wiping down the keyboard. So now basically, the up and down arrows function as Home and End, while the actual Home and End keys don't do anything anymore. In Microsoft Word, the up and down arrows function normally, as do Pg Up and Dn, but the Home and End keys still aren't working.

I've got things to do today, but whenever I have stuff to do I try to make up excuses for myself to not do them. It's such a weird feeling; I know have to do these things, but I just can't make myself to do them...

So what can I do to get excited about it or just motivated enough to get off my a$$?

A weird science question I guess, but if seltzer water has CO2 in it, and we are drinking it, is that bad? Considering we exhale CO2, it doesn't seem safe to be ingesting it...

I would think being made by the same person they would both be pretty good.

I was thinking one day about how completely terrible modern music is. I tried to be pessimistic, thinking that it can only get better from here. However, I've heard the music kids listen to, and I know that the future must be bleak for the music industry.

So what do you think? Will someone come along and turn music around in the right direction? Or will the Lady Gagas and Taylor Swifts of the future lead us into musical oblivion?

Picture this: You and she are making out on the couch. You take it upstairs. She takes off her shirt, you take off yours. She unbuttons her pants and you unbutton yours. Slowly, she takes them off, to reveal...

LEGS THAT LOOK LIKE A BOWL OF FRENCH ONION DIP!!

Seriously, what is your opinion on girls who, although they may look thin, have flabby, cottage cheese legs?

I really like this girl and she really likes me and it's all good, but there's only one problem. She's kinda big, and I don't care how shallow it is, but it's impossible for me to be turned on by that.

I know that looks aren't important and it's good that I like her for who she is, but sooner or later I'm going to have to perform and I just don't know what I'm going to do.

The last thing I want to do is have to explain that I can't sleep with her because she's too fat.

So this girl and I have been talking since Sunday (we work together) and I can't decide if it would be better to ask her to go out this weekend or next weekend.

On one end, if I ask her this week, I'm worried she'll think it's too soon or she won't have time to develop any feelings.

On the other hand, if she is wanting me to ask her out this week, I worry that if I don't ask she'll think I'm not interested or that I dropped the ball.

Basically, I have no credit, as I'm only 19, but I have a well-paying job. I need some way to build credit for future use, but I have no reason to take out a loan. A website I read suggested that I take a car loan out and pay it off, but I have a car already. Is there any type of loan that I can take out simply so I can pay it back?

I have a gold chain that I want to sell. I know I won't get nearly what it's worth, but I want to get as much as possible. All I know is that it's 14K and made in Italy. It's pretty heavy, and I believe it's 20 inches (I'll recheck that when I go to sell it). What's the best suggestion?

Since buying Cuban cigars is illegal, I was wondering if there are any American or other international (but legal) cigars out there which are worth buying. Are there any particular brands that deserve a try?

I have no idea what those accents under the "T" and "s" do.

So I bought some leather pants from Goodwill (because Goodwill is awesome), but they're entirely too small. Yes, I knew they were too small when I bought them, but I can get them on if I try hard. Besides, where else am I going to get like-new leather pants for $8?

Anyway, they are a size 1 and I normally wear a size 4, though I could probably get into a 3 if I wanted. Can I have the waist changed to fit me better? The length is just fine.

I already have Reign in Blood, and I love Slayer and thrash metal altogether, but I want another album by Slayer that's as good or close to the greatness of Reign in Blood.

I don't trust the Billboard top 100 either.
