  • How long do employers typically expect teenagers to be able to work?

    Basically, my problem is I can only work about 2 hours without making it so that I have little to no free time to just relax and de-stress myself. I would have to balance work, school, and exercise which leaves me with not a lot of options. If I can drive (I can get my intermediate license sometime this fall), I shave off about an hour in a ideal situation (When figuring everything out I pretty much estimated for how long certain things would take, so it could be longer or shorter than an hour.) So this means that in an ideal world, I can work 3 hours a day. 2 hours if I get a job before my intermediate license. I cant help but feel that I would have a hard time getting employed if I can only work for such a short amount of time, when there are probably plenty of people who can work for longer than me. Both situations leave me with 2 hours of free time. Is that just too much or something?

    Also, is there anybody reading this that went through, or are going through this same thing? How did you manage?

  • Can't find where my guitar came from?

    I got this guitar from my mother, who she got it from, I have no idea. Whether she bought it or if someone gave it to her I don't know. Every time I try to ask either of my parents where it came from I just get a vague answer that doesn't tell me anything, and the subject gets changed. AFAIK it just sort of showed up out of nowhere and nobody has any idea where it came from. It's Cremona brand, or so it says on the top and in the sound hole. In the sound hole, it shows a bit more information, but what it tells me still hasn't helped me much. "Cremona, hand crafted" "Produced in great traditions of Europe" with the model number "CW-410/BK". You'd think that the model number along with the brand would help me easily locate it, but so far, googling "Cremona CW-410/BK Acoustic Guitar" and variations of that hasn't come up with anything. The brand Cremona apparently does exist (and so does Kremona), or at least the type of guitar called Cremona. I might be wrong on thinking that it's a brand. It's a pretty basic looking black acoustic guitar with a little red teardrop thingy on the right side of the soundhole (right side being my right when im looking at the front of it. So its left), so I know its not these fancy looking thing that a lot of things branded "cremona" seem to have. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Do I have a right to get my money back?

    I recently ordered a pair of headphones and earbuds. After waiting a few days, I got a notification that I was unable to recieve the headphones I ordered, and as such, got a refund for my money. However the refund I got was for both the headphones AND the earbuds, so I basically thought I got the earbuds for free either due to the delay in shipping or a simple mistake. I, needing new headphones ASAP, ordered another pair (a different pair) the same day that was more expensive than the ones I previously ordered (probably a stupid idea). A day later, the day after the earbuds had been shipped, amazon decides to charge me for them. Now, I wouldn t really have a problem with that if it weren t for the fact that now, my account is overdrawn. So, considering all the facts, am I allowed to get my money returned?

  • Is it better to just leave my computer on all the time since its so hard to turn on?

    I recently got a new (well used) gaming computer, and it is such a hassle to get it to actually turn on. I ll spend 30 minutes to 2 hours to finally get it to work. What happens is that the computer doesn t fully turn on, so it doesn t send a signal to the moniter, and I can t actually do anything with it. It takes a frustrating amount of flicking the power switch on and off and pressing the on button until it finally works. So I m wondering if I should go through this demonic ritual every day to keep my computer rested (or whatever leaving it off does) or if it would be better just to leave it on as long as I can.

  • I can't exactly see in my dreams?

    Anyone else have a similar experience? When lucid dreaming (always unintentionally, I hate the sleep paralyzation that comes with it) or I know I'm dreaming, I can't exactly see my dream. I know whats going on, I know whats there as if I could see it, but I can't actually see it. It's like when you think of an image when your awake, only that feeling enhanced.

    When I don't know that I'm dreaming, I can see, or at least I think I can see, I'm not really sure what's going on but I feel like I can see.

  • If someone called you sexy, would you be offended?

    Just saw this youtube video, a woman was walking though NYC and got a ton of compliments, and somehow she was offended. Femenism is all about "equality" isn't it? If you put a man in that situation (and lets say he does get the same amount of compliments), why would he have a problem with it?

    How come compliments to femenist come across as sexist?

  • Whats the worst trouble I could get into for this?

    Lets say, hypothetically, I got a gorilla costume for Halloween and sometime later, I were to show up in school and during lunch, change into that costume and just go ape ****. I wouldn't hurt anyone or break anything (probably) if this actually happened. How much trouble do you think I would get in? Few days of detention? Maybe suspension?

  • Why are people so mean to each other?

    Why are people so mean to each other when there really isn't any point? Stupid fights over religion, making fun of people over the internet, bullying, vegans vs meat eaters, etc . I get it if people have a grudge against each other but I see total strangers going at it as if they had a long bitter history together, for absolutely no reason. Why can't everyone just go about their business without attacking someone else for doing what their doing?

  • Why am I always so tired when I get home from school?

    I'm starting to think I'm nocturnal or something. A school day goes by fine, I'm wide awake (except in a couple classes) and I'm all good, but as soon as I get home I just fall into a coma. Then I wake up hours later and can't sleep at night, so I stay up for the longest time and finally get back to sleep, only to repeat the cycle. I have actually stayed up all day before to see if that helps, but it doesn't, I'm wide awake as soon as it's night time.

  • Conversation starters?

    I'm not a very good conversationalist at all, I can only drag a topic on for so long until it's just dead and there's an awkward silence between me and the other person. With friends its easier, but there's still the inevitable silence that happens. I want to be able to talk to people that I don't know, and actually keep the conversation going. Questions to ask to learn more about a person are also welcome.

  • Tips on being more aggressive?

    I'm usually such a pushover. People would be making fun of me and I'm not clever enough to come up with something to say back for them, so I just sit there letting the anger build up. I want to act on it but I'm way too nice. I've told myself multiple times before that I'm going to do something about it next time it happens, but when it comes down to it, I forget all about that and go back to what I usually do, which is sit there and take it.

  • Bought potatoes from the supermarket, can I plant these?

    I heard you can't plant regular potatoes that you get from the supermarket because they spray something on them to keep them from growing, but these ones are growing roots and I'm not sure if they will grow into a full plant. Can I actually grow these or am I just wasting my time?

  • I've seen people more better looking than the most beautiful female celebrities?

    I don't know why people say things like some celebrities are the hottest women in the world. I've know people personally that look so much better than any celebrity or "most beautiful woman in the world" that I've ever seen. Is this common with everyone or do they just seem better looking to me since I know them

  • What's wrong with video game sellers on ebay?

    I see people who sell brand new games, factory wrapped and never played, for less than even half of what it costs to buy the game. You only lose money from that, so why do people do it?

  • Joined the football team, slightly regretting my decision?

    I've always wanted to play a sport, and football seemed pretty fun. I really don't know much about football, but I thought it would be something easy to understand if I just read up on it, which I did, and decided it was easy enough to play, then I went into details about the game after I signed up, and saw that it was a lot more complicated than I originally thought it was, with terms I don't understand and plays I don't understand either. Will I be really bad at this game, or have others actually played knowing nothing about the game and ending up good? Also, what position would I be good in? At first I was thinking wide receiver, but I don't trust myself with catching the ball, so maybe running back. I'm pretty fast, and can't really do anything too aggressive since I'm pretty slim.

  • Why do vegans think all animals are treated badly before they become food?

    If you've ever been to a real farm, you can see that farm animals are treated as pets pretty much. They have a lot of room to graze and run around until they're inevitable fate. They get fed every day and live a pretty good, relaxing life.

  • Don't know if these cookies have gone bad?

    Had these triple chocolate chip cookies in the freezer for months now, and they look fine, but they probably aren't. Is it worth it to give it a try? Could they have some horrible bacteria on them or something?

    I've been wanting to play this song on piano, and I finally found something. Problem is, I don't really know much about how to read sheet music. I know the basics, and I thought it would be enough to be able to play this, but when I play the notes indicated on the screen, I get a completely different sound than what is in the video. Are the notes in the video wrong or am I just doing something wrong?

  • The Dead Linger "Over Range" error?

    Since the new update, my game of TDL is too high a resolution to show up on my screen, so my moniter goes black until my random key pressing somehow closes it, or until I'm forced to restart my computer. It's extremely frustrating, because I've tried everything to lower the resolution. I've tried opening the properties window and adding -windowed, -h 1280, -w 1024, still wont work, i've even tried lower resolutions. I've tried increasing my resolution to the highest that my moniter will allow, its still over range. Lastly, I tried searching through the folder, I turned the folder inside out and I still can't find anything to edit the resolution.

    PLEASE HELP
