  • Looking for Textbook Solutions?

    Does anyone know where I can purchase the teacher solution book for a certain textbook. I am out of school and brushing up before graduate school but I have now way of knowing if I am doing the problems correct! If it helps I need the solution guide to Fundamentals of Financial Management 13th edition.

  • Unsure of the speech I wrote, opinions needed?

    The first speech was based on an interview you did with a partner and I did exceptionally well. Except my partner basically told my life story which makes speech #2 more difficult because the topic is myself. I don’t have a problem giving speeches I just can’t seem to write one about me that I like.

    I wrote this one and can’t decide if I like it or not so any comments would be appreciated!

    For better or worse I speak or do what is on my mind. My parents have known this since I was little, but it was confirmed when my first grade teacher, Sister Mary, told my mother that I go right up to that line and stop and that I always knew when to stop. That was about fourteen years ago and unfortunately sometimes I lose sight of that line. The first time I lost sight of the line I was four. My family and I lived in Florida and although we had a pool, she took me to go swimming in the ocean one hot day. The thirty minute car ride seemed like a lifetime to me. I was bored and too anxious to sit quietly in the car like I usually did. I had my favorite swimsuit on; it was Little Mermaid with red ruffles and was feeling pretty full of myself. I kept asking my mother “don’t I look cute?” and “aren’t I pretty?” The first time she laughed and said yes. But I wanted a reaction out of her so I continually asked her the rest of the trip. Finally, we got out of the car and I grabbed Stripy, my large green/orange/yellow tiger-like floating raft toy. When we reached the sand there was a small crowd of people and my mother explained to me that it was a red tide. If you don’t know, a red tide is an algal bloom that slightly discolors and depletes the water of oxygen. Perfectly safe to swim in, but there usually are a high number of dead fish. Anyway, I didn’t like that answer. I held Stripy by the tail and ran right into the water. I was the only person in the water for miles. A few local papers were there and asked if I would like to be on the front page. I sat on Stripy, held out my ruffles, smiled and replied, “Aren’t I cute?” Next day there I was front page of the local paper swimming with dead fish. My mother was mortified.

    Not every opinion I have mortifies my mother, sometimes I mortify my father. My father was very athletic when he was younger and to encourage aggressive play during my early soccer years in elem my father would jokingly say “if you draw blood I’ll give you a dollar.’ He was only joking and I never took him seriously. Fast forward to hs where I played varsity fh all four years. I was taking a stroke, a one on one shot b/w me and the goalie; I had a reputation for never missing a shot. This came at a crucial time in the game during a crucial match. I shot lower left and scored. The goalie however, knew how I always shot and dashed to her right side, hitting her helmet against the goal frame and breaking her nose. The medic was there before I reached her. She couldn’t play for two games but she was fine in the end. After the game walking to my car I jokingly nudged my father and said “where’s my dollar though I indirectly drew blood it was her fault for running into the cage.” I was completely unaware that the goalie’s extended family was in town and in fact walking behind me. One of them coughed to get my attention and pointed to his shirt where the goalies face was plastered above the #41. My father promptly turned left to go to his own car.

    I’m an equal opportunist so my sister has never had immunity from my accidental mortifications. I love my BIL my his mother smokes around my niece/nephew which I don’t agree with. Earlier this year I rang my sister cell phone and before a hello teasingly said, ““I hope your mil isn’t smoking around my niece and nephew she shouldn’t do that.” The line went quite and this raspy voice replied, your sister left her phone with me while I watch my grandchildren.” Oops.

    Oh, I wrote it so speak off of so I don’t really plan on saying ‘elem’ etc.

  • Help with my french essay!?

    I have the essay written I was just wondering if any native speakers could read it over once and point out one or two things that need to be fixed. I'm just looking for grammar mistakes and if I used the most appropriate verb! Thanks!

    Quand j’ai rencontré la famille de mon petit copain, je me senti comme un étranger. Je viens d’une petite, américaine famille. J’étais avec mon petit copain, Brady, pour huit mois et nous avons décidé qu’il était temps pour son famille me rencontrons. Le samedi prochain était la petite cousine de Brady, Sarah, anniversaire. Sa mère de Brady m’invite à la boum pour elle. J’ai dit oui, mais j’avais peur !

    Le jour est arrivé et Brady a me chargé. Quand nous sommes arrivés, tout la famille a tourné et m’a dévisagé. Il y avait beaucoup des personnes. Il était censé être quelques personnes ! Ils avaient les cheveux bruns et ils étaient grands. Les hommes étaient muscles et les femmes étaient sveltes. J’avais les cheveux blonds, j’étais petite, et j’avais un peu de musculaire. J’étais dans les vapes. J’ai tourné à Brady et je l’ai questionné ou je peux placer mon cadeau pour Sarah.

    « Tu l'as amené ici ? Avec toi ? Pourquoi ? » Il a paru à moi comme il ne m’a reconnu pas. À ce moment-là il a commencé rire à moi.

    Je me suis pensé, qu'une chose bizarre à demander. « Parce qu’il est sa anniversaire. Il est un bijou petit. Rien haut. » J’ai douté que ma famille ait été la seule donner des cadeaux sur le jour de naissance. Il a continué m’expliquer qu’on ne donne pas sur le jour de son anniversaire, mais les cadeaux donneront le samedi prochain, exactement une semaine. J’ai placé la boîte petite dans ma poche.

    Pour l’heure prochaine, je rencontrais tout le monde. Je pouvais me souvenir seulement quelques noms. Il y a une tante qui prenait beaucoup des photos. Elle a dit qu’elle n’a pas beaucoup des photos des son autres âgé enfants. La tante n’a voulu que sa fille entreposée tout le temps. J’ai été sauvé : il a été le temps chanté et manger le gâteau d’anniversaire. Les luminaires ont été faiblement. La tante de Brady a marché dans la pièce. Son visage a été luisant parce que de les bougies. « Que tout le monde se taise ! » quelqu'un a dit. Nous avons chanté bon anniversaire et elle a soufflé les bougies. Nous avons claqué pendant que les luminaires ont allumé. Sa mère a tranche le gâteau et elle a donne le premier part de gâteau.

    « Je déteste la vanille ! Pourquoi ce n’est pas le chocolat ? » Elle a procédé frapper le part de gâteau avec son bras et l’assiette est tombée. Le gâteau est allé volant. Il y avait deux lueurs. Tout le monde a paru à la tante qui souriait et a déposé l’appareil photo. Ce serait un moment intéressant dont tout le monde parlera. Sarah a couru à l’extérieur. « Hier on m’a dit que le gâteau serait chocolat. J’il serais fait si j’avais le temps. » Si elle lut eut parle, elle aurait compris que Sarah n’aimait pas le glaçage vanille.

    Après l’émoi, les gens ont commencé partir. Brady et moi restions aider propre. Il a commencé pleuvoir si nous sommes parties. Quand nous sommes arrivés à mon voiture Brady a dénoté et a dit « Cela ne parait pas bon. » Il était une roue à plat. La mère and le père de Brady ont foncé voir quel était mauvais. Son père avait débuté prendre son portable quand j’ai trouvé le cric de voiture. Ma mère m’enseignait il faut que ait préparé. J’ai changé le pneu en vingt minutes. La mère de Brady était surprise que j’aie pu. Nous avons dit au revoir et avons dirigé à la maison.

    Après le premier la rencontre, je ne plus sens comme un étranger avec sa famille.

    "Her face was glowing."

    I've been thinking about it too much and have overcomplicated it for myself! Thanks!

  • Has anyone had a lot of pregnancy sex?

    I am almost 4 months along now with quads, so you can already see quite a bump. I feel fine other than being a little puffy and achy, but my husband can't keep his hands off me! It is sweet and it does makes me feel beautiful as I grow. He says my pregnant body and glow turn him on. It's like his mind has reverted back to being 16, I mean we have work to do before we bring four children home. Any one else go through this?
