I would like to join the Peace Corps. Unfortunately, I have a bad credit rating. Would this affect my joining?
Think really bad. And unpaid debts.

1 AnswerLyrics1 decade agoDo I have to pay taxes for my 1099-misc as a business income?
I did collections all over the eastern part of NC for a woman (not a business). I ended up with a 1099-MISC with $2,200 in the #7 Non Employee Compensation Box. TurboTax told me "Congratulations, you're a business". I tried filling out the Schedule C questions but I don't understand any of them. Do I fill all of the questions out in reference to myself as a business? I don't understand this.
4 AnswersOther - Taxes1 decade agoWhat is the song that plays in the beginning of episode 2 of Dirty Sexy Money?
It's when Tripp and Nick George are getting ready for their day. I read on the internet that it is Greenskeeper's Lotion song, but that's a male singer, and the singer is female. Thanks!
2 AnswersDrama1 decade agoMy live-in boyfriend doesn't want a break, says he still loves me, but is angry (see details). What do I do?
It's very unlike him to be this way, we've been dating for a year plus, been living together a year plus, and I've gone through a transition period at my job and life, ended up unemployed and depressed for about a month. He's saying he's upset about how unhappy I've made him this last month, and on top of it, I did something stupid that I've never done, and gone through his phone. I know. Big mistake. He doesn't want to break up, says he still loves me, and doesn't want a break either because he wouldn't want to lose me. He's still pissed. He's said things along the lines that he doesn't want to sleep in the same bed, and has said some pretty mean comments here and there, designed to hurt my feelings. I've been acting cheery and trying not to push him, and I wish I could leave for a couple of days to give him his space (not possible, I know NO ONE where I live). What should I do? What can I do? How long do you think this is going to go on, and how long will I be punished for this?
4 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhat the heck is the point of banking?
Seriously. Every week I go to the bank. I deposit the same check (my paycheck) from the same local company from a local bank. I don't have any problems with the bank, I don't overdraft or anything. But, the last THREE weeks, they have placed a four day hold on my checks. I live pay check to pay check, and it's extremely difficult to do crap like, fill up my car, or get groceries, or replace the tires on my car, if THEY CONTINUOUSLY HOLD MY CHECK FOR FOUR FREAKING DAYS. I don't understand it. What the heck is the point of banking if I can't ever get my checks when I need them and have money to use and spend????
11 AnswersPersonal Finance1 decade agoDid I "unbalance" my computer by adding more memory? Or??
I have a Gateway 3200S Desktop. I had a 256 MB Graphics Card which specs on the label that listed 400 DDR 3200. I bought a 1 GB Graphics Card for $160 whic specs were for the same (3200, DDR, 400, Desktop). I kept the 256 MB, manually installed the 1 GB myself.
Turned on my computer, and the monitor was on, and continued to read the normal "MOnitor Self-Check" message. It did not act as if the CPU was plugged in. I tried another monitor, same case (so it's not the cord or the monitor itself). I tried several times with the first MB ram still in, just one, both, different spots, etc. No change in the monitor. It's been suggested to me since I didn't have 1 GB in 1 spot, and 1 GB in the other, that I unbalanced my computer. No other suggestion has made sense to me.
Do you have any suggestions about how to fix this problem and salvage my cpu? Is it unbalanced now, and if so how to fix?
4 AnswersAdd-ons1 decade agoWhat's wrong with my houseplant?
I know you can tell from the colors of the leaves what may be wrong with your plant. I just got this plant and the color of some of the leaves have turned a darker green than the normal color of hte plant. What may be wrong with it? Too much water, sunlight?
4 AnswersOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoEveryone: Do you know where I can get a job?
I'm looking specifically in the Wilmington Area or the Raleigh Area.
I'm new to the area. Any large companies you can name or offer websites to would be greatly appreciated.
I've already tried:
IBM, Fedex, USPS, UPS, Union Pacific, Borders, hospitals, etc. No more staffing agencies, please.
I'm a great, hardworking candidate who is trained mostly in bookkeeping and administration, in addition to customer service. I need to make 15+ an hour. Would love to be salaried.
I read a book that said stop looking in newspapers for the jobs, and the best step is to just get out there and ask everyone you meet: "Do you know where I can get a job?" and the second best question is (if they say no) "Do you know someone who I can ask?"
Thank you for your help.
3 AnswersCareers & Employment1 decade agoWhat stylish basic pieces of clothes do you recommend?

Also, if you have cheap stores online or offline you recommend I'd appreciate it! I need a lot of help to look professional for my job.
6 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agoWhat's the best way to tell my guy I'm having my period?
First of all, I KNOW I can just come out and say it. But I was wondering if anyone had any more subtle, or clever ideas of coming around to it.
Secondly, here's the situation. We are both 22 years old, and he lives an hour and half away from me. We've been dating for about a month. I am going to see him for the entire labor day weekend and it's day 3 of the period. I will probably be completely finished with it by Sunday (which stinks).
So, how do I say "I'm on my monthly and we can't do that" without being so... blunt about it?
27 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhat are the sayings called?
I can't remember the proper word for them, but they are like, little sayings to live by that maybe a grandmother or mother would say.
Examples:
"It is easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission."
"Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoHow is the army for women?
I am not super strong or athletic, but I think I may have the mental determination to do it.... I was wondering if any of you have personal experience or first hand accounts you could offer me? I am nervous about this, but think this may be a good option for me to get some kind of perspective on my life. I am thinking of joining the Army Reserves.
