  • How can I purchase Playhound sunglasses from the US?

    I saw a friend online wearing the best sunglasses in the world. I went to their website and it says online shopping is only available if you are located in Thailand! Does anyone know where I can purchase this brand name online? I tried eBay and scouted the Internet to no avail.

  • Ohio 1099-G taxes withheld?

    I opted to have 10% of each bi-weekly unemployment payment withheld for tax purposes. I fall under the bracket of earnings that allows all of my paid taxes to be refunded to me, along with child tax credits, etc. I am just wondering, now that tax time is coming, will I get that 10% back? If so, how do I claim it? I was unemployed for part of last year, and I remember thinking that I did not receive the 10% that had been voluntarily withheld because there wasn't a box that calculated the total amount withheld for the year on the form that I got in the mail. Also, I use TurboTax. Because of my unemployment situation, should I go and have my taxes done to ensure that I get the largest refund possible? I have children and got less than expected last year. Is it likely that this was due to being unemployed, or is it me not knowing how to use the software to it's full extent in my situation?

  • Can you break your voice box from singing?

    I met someone online recently who seems like a really nice guy and we have a lot in common, but he doesn't speak. We just message back and forth on skype and such. I asked him what happened and he said that he broke his voice box. I didn't want to seem rude, but I am sort of skeptical as to whether he is being truthful or not. He has recordings of him singing and playing the guitar and when I asked if he broke it screaming, he just responded, "Yes I used to be able to do that too," which seems like a vague answer... Just wondering if anyone had any medical information on whether this story seems feasible, or if it is more likely that he is lying for whatever bizarre reason.

  • Places to stay for Bonnaroo?

    I am going to Bonnaroo, and I've never been before. I expect the hotels to book up pretty early in advance, so I want to get one asap. Any suggestions on affordable prices and locations within walking distance of the festival? I am unfamiliar with the area.

  • How do I fix a baseboard heater thermostat?

    I recently moved into a new apartment that has baseboard heating. Each room has it's own thermostat, Which I originally thought would help cut heating costs, but unfotunately when I turn them on, even at their lowest setting, they continuously run. All I can think is that the thermostat is broken. If I replace the wall mount unit will this fix my problem? Any information on what I can do would be appreciated, because as of now I am uncomfortably warm and am also expecting an unusually high electric bill.

  • Does anyone know a recipe for formula to feed baby moles?

    I was rebuilding my garden wall, and I accidentally upturned a nest of baby moles. The wall is completely moved around, and I'm sure their mother won't return for them. I have made them a little nest in a flower pot, and can't bear to let them die, so I tried feeding them soy-based baby formula with a dropper. They don't want to eat it, and I'm not sure if it is even okay for them to have. They are much too young to feed worms or bugs. Does anyone know what I can feed them?

  • Movie about a lady who has a wolf man move into the apartment above hers?

    The actress who plays the lady in the movie is really famous, but i can't remember her name. She is blonde. I think it is set in older times when they had the carnivale, and the museum of "curiosities" and such. She is a photographer or something... She wants to take a portrait picture of the family and ends up becoming more and more involved with them. I saw part of it on HBO, and want to know what the movie is.

  • Why is GE stock so low?

    I am thinking of investing and saw that GE is nearly at an all-time low. I understand that the current credit crisis plays into this equation, and that the CEO isn't currently with the company, but are there other extenuating circumstances that are influencing it's value? Is there an up and coming competitor to the company? Also, is there a website that gives insight as to what is affecting the fluctuations in the company you are interested in investing with?

    So... Octo mom. She has had numerous plastic surgeries and repeated in-vitro fertilization treatments. Octo mom lives in her mother's house, which is being foreclosed on now, and has no job and is on welfare. Octo mom is taking donations on the internet to try to survive. Where did she get all the money for the aforementioned surgeries? Did she used to be rich or something?

  • How do I go about settling the balance on an old eviction?

    I got evicted about six years ago, and I am looking for a new apartment and my old eviction is still on my credit. I want to pay it off, and since it has been so long, I am pretty sure they would settle for less than the actual balance. To accomplish this, do I need to contact a lawyer, or can I just call the collection agency that is handling it and offer a settlement myself?

  • Is this a poem, or does it need to be in a different format?

    is the following a poem, or does it have a certain format in order to qualify?

    Blue Clouds

    In the morning we stood at the shore

    The flames rose up from behind

    To wash away our sins

    But I couldn't bear to turn and watch

    So the clouds were a mirror of crimson to pink.

    The ice caught up the ships

    And we held hands in the current

    One arm with the baby clutched high and crying.

    And everything so cold amidst the fire

    As the tide pulled needles into our ankles.

    And the clouds turned black and drowned the light.

    I think of when my grandmother told me she had that dream.

    He laid his head in her lap as if to sleep.

    "Tell her I'm right here..."

    And I never could tell her that I watched the clouds as the dawn broke

    And took a picture of the mackerel sky

    And asked

    "Where did you go?"

    Again.

    There was a night once

    I stopped the door as he shut it

    And saw his eyes were clouds and tears

    "I'm not ******* stupid"

    And he didn't take his ring back

    But I always felt and ache when he held my hand and spun it on my finger.

    Yet I never asked if he was sorry he stayed.

    I remember the day that the storm blew over

    And the birds had yet to return

    We found the boats wrecked into the shore

    Their splinters tangled with the shattered trees

    And the clouds hung high and white over the muddy waves.

    I thought with awe

    "This will be the world when it has ended"

    And was wrong but never knew.

    And the fire dies out into thick clouds of loved ones and belongings, and memories, and mistakes.

    In the dour night we remain lost at the waters' edge.

    He holds my hand and spins my ring.

    The smoke is clearing to reveal the clouds above

    Are an inky blue that hides the moon.

    We wait for the ships

    And the world has ended.

    "Where did you go?"

    And the baby is silent

    And a bird flies in from the sea.

  • What's with the comment Drink?

    i think i have the gist of this concept, but just to be certain, can anyone explain to me why people write "drink" after repeat questions? i am guessing it has to do with something like, "everytime this question is asked, you have to drink.."

  • Where did penny loafers originate?

    I was looking at some guys penny loafers today and it got me wondering... Why would any one need to carry one cent around in their shoes? Was it originally to show that you had money enough to adorn your shoes with it, or was it for practical purposes of some kind? (Like maybe a shoe shine was 2 cents..) Does anyone know? Just bored and curious.

  • Filled out my FAFSA... What next?

    I am a single mom with 2 kids and i am trying to further my education. Iv'e been out of school for about 7 years, and my highest completed education level is my diploma. I really have no idea what i am doing as far as attempting to get some kind of grant or financial aid and I am pretty much just playing this completely by ear. I filled out my FAFSA and sent it in online, and my status for the form is now "Processed", but there really isn't any other information than that. My EFC score is 0, which I think is a good thing?

    Anyway, I guess my main question is where I go from here. Do I just wait for the schools I had the form sent to to call me and let me know what they specifically could offer me in lou of grants and loans, or will I be getting something letting me know my general qualifications? Is there anything else I should be doing in preparation for enrollment or any other kinds of additional paperwork I should fill out in an attempt to get additional grants?

    I feel really ridiculous trying to call the schools directly at this point, since I'm not even sure if they have received my FAFSA. (It was just processed online today.) If anyone has any information on what I should do next, it would be appreciated; especially any info from single moms or other nonconventional students who have done this before.

    Thx!
