A month ago I had a meeting with my professor asking if she would provide recommendation letters for graduate schools. She said although my perpetual lateness to class was dragging my grade down she would have wait to see all of my class work (papers and tests) to determine my final grade. She required a grade of A- or A in order to provide recommendations. Then I can just contact her during winter break and drop off recommendation forms.

The grades came in a week ago (got an A-) and I emailed her informing her of the grade I received. Today she emails me back saying something to the effect of "I now have too many recommendations to write and cannot dedicate any more of my time to this so I cannot write your recommendation letters". I need her to write three letters of recommendation or I will not be able to apply to three of the eight graduate schools on my list. Is there anything further I can do?

My (now former) boss and a former professor wrote recommendation letters for my graduate school applications this past fall. I e-mailed each of them to thank them for their efforts immediately after they submitted the letters. Now the results are in and I did not get accepted. What is proper etiquette in this situation? Do I notify them that I didn't get accepted or is that unnecessary?

We're a group of friends in our 20's; suggestions for New Years Eve parties are also very welcome.

I'm the one that ended the relationship, vowing to remain friends. On the surface I've moved on and am seeing other people. But now that he's moved on as well I realize that practically we can't remain friends and be fair to our partners. Is there like an emotion arc where after missing, jealousy comes acceptance and moving on? It's been almost a year. Am I just confusing feelings of jealousy with wanting that relationship back?

Hi I will be a bridesmaid in a few days. My dress is coral pink chiffon, shoes are champagne colored. What should I do makeup wise? I don't usually wear makeup so suggestions with product links would be greatly appreciated. I have brown hair and brown eyes and I'm white, my foundation color right now is warm beige in cover girl trublends.

I've been realy looking forward to the New York City Chase (an Amazing Race type thing for ny) but I don't want to compromise my health.

She had a mild fall nearly a week ago. Thought everything was fine, only a few bruises. However today she has had pain in the colo-rectal area as well as a feeling of always needing to go. A nurse suggested it may be a fractured coccyx. She does most likely have hemroid as she has had limited mobility for nearly 5 years now. How can I ease her discomfort or read up on what her condition is likely to be?

Their pet died over the weekend is it appropriate to get a card saying something like "I'm sorry for your loss" or is just saying that in person better?

and I just got around to looking up some tours for Friday night. To my dismay the monuments by moonlight and such tours all need a reservation at least 4 days in advance. Does anyone know any other good quick intro tours I could still book? Or maybe book in the afternoon to take in the evening? OR do you recommend skipping organized touring all together and d.i.y. ?

I'm asking my friends to go to the Slipper Room (Orchard & Stanton) this coming friday for burlesque. Any opinions on that? But ppl gotta eat. I'm in the area all the time but I cannot think of a place that would accomodate almost ten ppl. and is still good vibe and not $$$$$ Suggestions please?

When I tried sprinkling tea a few years ago into a house plant I ended up having to dispose of the whole thing because of fruit flies. Now I got large pots with pansies and it says fertilize every two weeks. Should I buy some fertilizer or try the coffee/tea route? Any suggestions for natural spider mite remedies? They do seem to come back every year on anything I grow :(

While squeezing own orange juice this morning I realised I had tons of pulp left over. I started wondering what comercial producers do with the pulp left over from the process of making pulp free juice? What do they do with it all? Anybody who works in a o.j. plant know? Or know a website that answers my question? Thanks.

I just graduated with a B.A. in Psych/Women's Studies. However I have no experience in that field and have instead been working part time for over 2 years now as an Archival Assistant (that's Library Science). Now I have been offered a full time position.

Should I stick to building a career in Library Science since I have "broken in" to this field already or explore the seemingly endless myriad of choices to do with Psychology. Or thirdly to go back to school for Nursing; which many ppl (nurses included) assure me is a money making "insta-career".

I read that it's ideal for backyard gardens but I live in Brooklyn with no back yard. I want to grow something edible out of the flower boxes I have...they're about 2 feet x 1 x1...would that be enough soil to sustain even one okra plant?

does a person who works a regular job doing physical therapy in a rehabilitation center need to be slipped a twenty as a thank you for doing their job or as a prompt to actualy do their job? I know I am innocent about these things but can anyone tell me that this is appropriate and normal??

This is the link, my bf wants basil and mint for kitchen use. Any other product suggestions? Should this thing be planted now and re-potted in spring?

Thank you,

I'm not seeing quite the answer I need. I have Anise seeds that I want to incorporate into a butternut squash soup...how would I do that? Do i need to pulverise the seeds or just simmer them in butter and then strain them out? Would adding a clove of garlic, cream, and some chicken stock make for a good combo of flavors? I'm missing some of the traditional common ingredients for this soup like ginger and brown sugar but want to use up the garlic and anise seeds that I have aplenty. Thanks.

I have blood in my urine and chills...it burns when i urinate and i have frequent urges to go...Im trying to wait out the night and go to a regular doctor. I checked web md and it says go see doctor immediately if u have fever and an ache in your side. Might be power of suggestion but I feel that coming on too. SO ladies that have had this or any doctors should I wait out the night or get myself to an emergency room before I pee all my blood out? (never had a uti before kinda scared)

How did you start? Was it an entry position as a counselor with no prior experience or was it through volunteer work? Are you satisfied with your job? What do you do? Are you able to support yourself financialy? Challenges that you have faced?

Thank you.

I want to have a more grown up picnic than iced tea and punch. But is it even allowed to have open alcoholic beverages of any type? Even just sipping wine? Or is some bad tempered cop in the right to ticket me?
