If an underage person shoplifts beer from me...?
I manage four bottle shops (six-pack shops) in Pennsylvania. This question is hypothetical, but the possibility is very real.
If an underage person (under 21 years old, not necessarily a minor) shoplifts a bottle of beer from my shop, and is later caught and charged with Underage Possession, can I be charged with Furnishing Alcohol to an Underage Person?
I have heard many conflicting answers to this. I have even asked a couple of local cops.
*I should point out: we do NOT check everyone's I.D. the moment they enter our shop (we sell soft drinks and snacks and other non-restricted items in addition to beer). We check I.D.s when someone comes to the checkout.
2 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoHalloween costume ideas?
I need a costume idea for Halloween.
I work for a hotel, and I'll be behind the Front Desk on Halloween night. Our Dress Code will be relaxed on Halloween, but I can't wear a costume that's too elaborate or may interfere with my work. Also, it has to be somewhat tasteful, since I'll be dealing with the public.
I'd prefer ideas that wouldn't be too expensive, either. I should point out that I'm male, so no Mermaids.
3 AnswersHalloween9 years agowhat does this hand gesture mean?
This will probably sound weird, but here goes:
My ex and I aren't on the best of terms; we only speak to each other when absolutely necessary.
Lately, when we happen to pass by each other, she will hold up her hand---usually her right hand, but not always---and make this gesture:
http://tinypic.com/r/33ldmw5/6
At first I thought it was just an accident, but after a few weeks it has become apparent that she intentionally makes the gesture, and its only when I'm around.
Does this gesture have any significance? If I try to ask her outright, she'll tell me to go "F" myself, and that's why I'm reaching out to the Yahoo community.
4 AnswersWords & Wordplay9 years agoTakeout ("to-go") containers that can be recycled or reused?
My local Community Supported Agriculture facility has opened a kitchen, to be used as a source of organic, all-locally grown, prepared foods.
We are doing our best to leave as small a "footprint" as possible, and one of greatest problems is the containers we will use to package prepared foods for "takeout". We want to use products that are compost-able, recyclable, and meet food-industry standards.
We don't have to pick just ONE type of container, and I'm searching for multiple options which can apply to various situations. Ideas?
2 AnswersGreen Living9 years agoworkman's comp time limit?
Between 1984 and (about) 1990, I worked for a carpet cleaning company. Within months after I I left the job, I began having severe back problems. I started seeing a chiropractor, and he determined that the injury to my back was a result of the repetitive motion I did while working for the carpet cleaner.
At the time, I was in my twenties; I am now 46, and my back is constantly bothering me (in the same areas as it was back then). I still see a chiropractor now and then, but I am never free of pain.
Is there a time limit on filing a Workman's Compensation claim? I don't want to sue for a million dollars, I just want to correct (or at least relieve) my pain.
FYI, I am in Pennsylvania.
1 AnswerLaw & Ethics10 years agoconstant, mild-to-moderate headache in a vegetarian?
My girlfriend is a vegetarian. She does eat eggs/dairy, but no meat of any kind, and no seafood. She's been eating this way for about 3 years. I do a lot of the cooking/food preparation for both of us, and I try to see to it that she has a well-balanced diet.
Lately, for about 5 or 6 months, she has been experiencing almost constant headaches. They range from mild (but annoying) to moderate, and occasionally they are severe enough to nearly incapacitate her.
Usually, an over-the-counter analgesic has some effect over the pain, but doesn't fully relieve it. Also, she does NOT take any vitamin/mineral supplements. Could her headaches be caused by a deficiency in some nutrient?
I should also point out that she is 23 years old, otherwise quite healthy, has no known health issues.
9 AnswersVegetarian & Vegan10 years agotransfer airtime from one Prepaid cell to another?
Probably an insane Question, but here goes:
Is it possible to transfer the balance from one Prepaid Cell Phone card to another? In this case, from AT&T GoPhone to a Tracfone.
My girlfriend got a new cell phone (with a contract), and gave me her prepaid Tracfone. It still works,, and it still has airtime left on it.
I use an AT&T GoPhone, and I have several prepaid airtime cards that I received as gifts.
Is there some way to use the GoPhone cards to add airtime to the Tracfone? I don't want to spend money on addtional cards, but I don't want to waste the phone, either.
2 AnswersCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoCialis lasted about 17-18 hours?
I took Cialis (36-hour, 100 mg) for the first time yesterday.
The effects were "as directed", and it worked exactly as I expected it to.
However, the effects lasted only about 17 or 18 hours, not 36 as described. Is this normal? Is it normal for some men to have shorter-term effects?
By the way, it was "actual" Cialis, prescribed by my doctor, and purchased in-person at a reputable pharmacy (CVS).
Also, I am a healthy 46-year-old male.
1 AnswerMen's Health1 decade agoblood-drawing tool/device (an odd Question, coming from me...)?
I have a friend who is a vampire, or at least believes she is. Whether or not that's crazy isn't important.
I would like to buy her a blood-drawing tool, or a lancet, or some other manner of blade that is disguised as something more ornate, such as a ring, bracelet or necklace. I have looked all over the internet, and I can't seem to find anything like this. But I'm convinced such things exist!
I can easily find lancets, etc. for use by diabetics, but as I said I would like something more ornate and "vampire-like".
Does anyone know of any stores/websites where they sell such things?
4 AnswersMythology & Folklore1 decade agowhat song is this lyric from?

1 AnswerLyrics1 decade agowithholding a paycheck?
My nephew (he is 19) quit a line-cooking job at a local restaurant. It was just slightly above minimum wage, hourly.
He quit with no notice, and is due a final pay check at the end of next week (he had already worked a full week, one Pay Period). I won't get into detail about it, but suffice it to say that I feel he had an adequate reason for quitting unexpectedly.
In any case, his former manager has left him a phone message, saying that they are going to "withhold his final paycheck" for some undetermined amount of time. My nephew has not been in contact with his former manager, just the phone message.
I've already told my nephew: I don't believe they can do that! I have been a manager in the past, and I have seen a couple of employees just quit unexpectedly. When they came to collect their pay, I might have asked "why did you do that?"---but they got their check then and there. It was their money, which they had already earned.
Have the rules changed in the past few years? If it helps, my nephew lives in Pennsylvania

3 AnswersZoology1 decade agoreliable/good value anti-virus that won't slow my machine down?
right now, I'm running a Trial Version of Avast anti-virus, which works quite well, AND it doesn't slow down any of my other applications.
I've tried McAfee, which works well, too, but it slowed my PC down terribly. I've also tried Kaspersky, which seemed to work well and didn't seem to slow my PC down too much...but it DID slow things down whenever it performed a database update.
What I want to know is: what's a reliable and effective anti-virus that WON'T slow down my PC, and that's also a really good value for the money. I'm certainly willing to spend money for protection, but I want my money's worth. And yes, I've read the reviews at places like cnet.com. I want some opinions from "real people".
7 AnswersSecurity1 decade agolearning about the behavior/habits of greyhounds?
My parents will be fostering (and possibly later adopting) a Rescue Greyhound. The dog is coming from Florida later this week (we are in Pennsylvania), and after a few meetings, my parents will be bringing the dog to their home.
My parents are both in their late 60's, and they are experienced dog owners. They have been doing their own research into greyhounds, but I live nearby and I intend to see (and interact with) the dog fairly often.
I don't need anyone to post everything they know about greyhounds on here; just looking for really good links to really good information. Thanks!
3 AnswersDogs1 decade agohow much information is required, by law, in the 2010 Census?
I have heard numerous (and often conflicting) accounts of just what KIND of information is required in the Census. Some (particularly the US Census website) have told me that "the Census form must be filled out and returned"---end of story.
I've also heard that to meet minimum requirements of law, the Census form needs to be filled out, but all the Census Bureau really needs to know is how many people reside within a household.
Does anyone know the specifics?

1 AnswerFacebook1 decade agoHow to start a (convincing) rumor?
Hypothetically: let's say I want to generate a rumor, among my classmates, in my workplace, or elsewhere. It would have to be a believable, plausible rumor (I don't mean "aliens have landed in my backyard"). It doesn't matter whom or what the rumor is about---we'll assume, for the sake of courtesy, that it isn't anything slanderous or damaging to anyone.
How would I go about starting/creating/generating a rumor? Naturally, I don't want it traced back to me; it would have to appear as though it originated spontaneously.
Ideas?
