  • Why do they use the word 'green' in the phrase 'green-eyed monster'?

    I already understand that the phrase is used to describe jealousy... But...

    What is the significance of the colour? What does it mean/symbolise?

    Many thanks for any answers :)

    Thank you for any input :)

    At the moment my hair is the blonde colour (with like the tiniest amount regrowth). So the change to red will be fairly easy.

  • things going wrong when internet shopping? help?

    I purchased a dress from Asos (Marketplace) and it came int the mail yesterday.

    BUT it's the wrong dress!!

    I intend on either getting a refund or sending it back and getting the proper dress.

    Am I liable to ask for an Express post when they exchange the dress and deliver it back?? (this is only because I have my formal in less than two weeks and there would be no point in getting the new dress shipped back if it doesn't get delivered in time)

    Or, if I get the dress refunded can I ask them to pay for the dress to be shipped back to them?

    It is there fault afterall, and I don't want to be spending money on their mistake.

    Thank for any help. I really don't know how to go about problems with it comes to Internet shopping.

  • Should I switch schools? Dilemma...?

    At my current school (which is selective), there is honestly nothing wrong with it. I have friends and the grade I'm with is close with great parties and we're all very tight niche.

    But, I recently my application for a 'better selective high school' got accepted.

    If you don't know what that is. This just means that the school has a better education system.

    A part of me really wants to go to the other high school- I get all subjects I want for years 11 and 12, as well as being able to do 13 units.

    Yet, at my current school I had to sacrifice some subjects and pick up ones I didn't want to do. AND I only get to do 12 units. Which would leave me in a sticky situation come HSC time.

    I won't drone on too much.

    But, education wise the other school is better.

    Social wise I'm not sure... And, that is the problem...

    How can I be sure I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life just changing schools :|?

    What would you do if you were in my situation?

    Sorry, this is a bit long.

    But, thank you for answering.

  • Were there any designers during the Renaissance?

    In particular reference to textiles/fashion?

    Or was most of the designs/fashion dictated by the upper class and therefore there was no actual "designer"?

    Thank you :)

  • I have no personal qualities to show in my school application? D: help?

    I'm apply to change schools and one of the factors of the application is 'What experiences and achievements in leadership and community service have you had?'

    Honestly, I have none.

    But, that does not mean I have no leadership, it is just that I don't go forward for things like school captain. How can I show I have these qualities, but without the flashy badge?

  • I hate when people bring up my "fat stage"?

    i dont know how to deal with it. and i feel really upset and mortified that someone, knowing how i feel about the photos, would still put them up.

    would it be rude if i asked them to take them down?

    i know i should be happy that ive changed and lost weight but it makes me feel horrible, especially that people who know me now and hadnt seen me like i was before would judge me.

  • girls who show too much skin?

    am i the only one who is bothered by them?

    its like we have no dignity anymore, yes, i get it if your on a date and you want to show a little cleavage. but everyday?

    im 14, and i know people in my grade who show huge cleavage. i just think its thoroughly misleading, mainly to older men who think there older and attempt to hit on them.

    its not much of a present if its already unwrapped?

    am i the only one who thinks people should cover up more?

    i left my ipod on the charger for a LONG period of time...8 hours approx?

    but the power went out for the night....and im not sure if the ipod went uncharged for 8 hours...and on

    so it quite possibly drained the battery?

    but this morning when i tried to turn it on...nothing happened...

    I stuck in in a wall adapter charger to try and charge it and also the computer and nothing happen

    So my question is... is it dead? Is there some way I can bring it back to life?

    Thank you for any help :) Im a bit confused at the moment /:
