So I am apparently having problems with my Weebly domain that I myself am unaware of. Whenever I type in http://thecornerclubpress.com/ in the URL bar, it shows up just fine for me. Note: I am not logged into my weebly account. When I type in The Corner Club Press in Google, it shows up fine, but everyone else who does the same tells me they keep coming to a web page that asks them to buy the domain name. I even put the link on my FB, and our logo showed up with it, and they tell me they keep coming to that page. I have tried various web-enabled devices (iphone, 3DS, laptop, computer, comp at my friend's house (she shares the account with me), but everyone else cannot access it.

Okay, I haven't heard this song in forever, but recently heard it somewhere. Thing is, I don't know the name of the song or artist who sings it. I think it starts with I feel the rain, I believe in god....Sounds very Indian. There are two singers, one's singing the whole melody i feel the rain, i believe in god...and another one sounds like he's singing some lyrics in Hindi and making some interesting humming sounds, too. Sounds like tabla (form of drums) are being used. I wish I could provide more detail...

My cat's a little strange to me. She is not a lap cat and doesn't seem she likes to be held. However, when I pick her up and cuddle her, she purrs, but I know she doesn't want to be held because the first chance she gets she tries to escape.

I really don't understand this behavior. It's rather contradictory.

Also, with my fiance, she'll roll on her back and act all cute when he comes into the room and meow, but when he's in the game room and I bring her myself to him, she seems to suddenly dislike him and perceive him as threatening.

Not exactly the question, but three weeks ago I upped my dosage of Retin A to 0.05%. For some reason, I had two two of 0.05 percent in my bag with my 0.025% creams, so I just decided to up my dose to see if that would work. After a week of using it, I thought it was working because my skin was relatively clear, then I started breaking out around the same time I always do, which is two weeks before my period. My period used to be irregular, but now it's monthly, and it's been monthly for 4 months, and four 4 months I've been breaking out two weeks before my period. I know this isn't a coincidence, but my real question is, should I go straight to my dermatologist about this, or should I just make an appointment for birth control, having to go through all that fun pap smear stuff to get it?

Okay, I'm editor for a Gothic magazine that's aimed for anyone 13 and up. Recently we received a piece that I'd like to see published, but one of the other editors has concerns that the content would send the wrong message. In the story, the MC mentions that she's been raped and that despite fighting against it, she actually wanted it because it was her first feel of a man. It's not even a rape scene, but just a mention that she was raped, so there's no explicit detail. The other editor feels that this will send a harmful message to both males and females that females always want sex, rape included. This has me skeptical now. Since this is geared for individuals aged 13 and up, I'm assuming our teen readers are reading YA and/or adult novels now. In my opinion, I don't think I should have to request that the writer change the scene, because I've never believed that it's a writer's responsibility to deliver messages and morals to kids: just a story that reflects reality. Obviously you wouldn't mention rape in a middle grade book or a chapter book, but this is a magazine for teenagers and up. Most girls don't want rape, but some girls are twisted enough to think what the MC of this story thinks.

What should I do? Should I persuade the other editor the content should stay, or should I request that the writer change the content?

I've been debating this for a while, because, although I have acne, it's mild and doesn't affect my self-esteem. I've been on accutane twice, and my skin is much better than it was before I broke out, but last year my skin was flawless, then I started breaking out again. Nothing severe like before the second time I took accutane, but still annoying. I don't get pus-filled pimples. I just get annoying whiteheads that I have to use a needle on.

But the main problem is is that I'm using this 10% sulfur stuff, and I sincerely believe that if I weren't using it, my skin would end up being how it was before accutaine. And I'm concerned by this because I find myself using it everyday just to prevent breakouts or get rid of the ones I use a needle on, and I hate it, because I have dry, peely skin everyday, but it's the only stuff that works on my acne and dries out the whiteheads fast. If I don't use it, I break out, mostly on my right cheek. My left cheek, for some reason, has no problems with breakouts. Also, I definitely break out near my periods.

I feel like I need to see a dermatologist, because I want some medicine (don't really think I need accutane anymore, because my skin isn't oily like it used to be) that can pretty much clear my acne again so I'm not so dependent on this sulfur stuff, since it's the only stuff that works.

Also, I've been using this tretinoin stuff, too, and I don't think that's helping anymore. In fact, I don't know if it ever helped.

I just want my skin to be clear again so I don't have to constantly rely on a stupid needle and sulfur. I'm just annoyed and tired of it.

Well, I ordered an item from Etsy, and it was shipped from Turkey to the US. It's been over a week, and the product hasn't arrived. I e-mailed the seller about when I should expect it, but I'm impatient for a response and am just wondering when I should be expecting them. I realize they come from the other side of the world, but I just want to be reassured that I have nothing to panic about. It's a one-of-a-kind item.

Okay, so I signed up for etsy, and semi-bought two things, and the only way I can finish buying them is through paypal. So I got the account on paypal, and wachovia is denying my card, although I have the money in the bank for it. But at the same time, I received two e-mails for each item I "bought" saying thank you for buying these items, and you used paypal to pay for them. But the money is still in the bank, and there is nothing in the holds or anything suggesting I officially bought anything from etsy. What is going on?

I've been engaged for almost a year, and though things are going well, I've suddenly decided I'm not ready to be married. We've planned it as a long engagement simply because we can't afford to get married right now, but regardless, being engaged implies you're ready to get married, and I'm not.

When I got engaged to him, I didn't really have any friends to hang out with, so it was just him and I everyday. But now that I actually do have friends to spend time with, and after talking to my dad, who told me when you're married you have to drastically cut time with them, I've decided I'm not ready to give that up. I'm young, and I'm just not ready.

I want to be with him, and I love him to death, but I'm just not ready for this kind of commitment anymore like I thought I was. Realizing what I'd have to sacrifice for marriage has made me very uneasy now.

My brother is having a wedding this Sunday, and I really want to use it as an opportunity to practice portraiture. However, I don't have the money for an external flash, nor do I have the money to rent one. I hate using high ISO because it results in grainy images. Is there any way I can take decent photos inside without the use of a flash? We don't know if there's going to be a professional photographer at the wedding, and so my parents want me to use my camera to take the pictures. They don't care if they're professional or not, but I do. I can't stand awful pictures.

For the past week I knew my period was going to come soon because I always experience the same exact symptoms before I get my period: a mild break out and slight cramping. Always. Well, today I noticed that as soon as I wiped, I saw some blood on it and thought my period was going to just flow. But it's just been spotting. I have slight cramping, but no blood flow. Just spotting. Should I be concerned, or will it get heavier?

Now that my short story is officially under copyright, would I be allowed to post a teaser of it without permission? Or is that not advisable?

I received a pre-acceptance letter yesterday for a short story I did. Tuesday, I sent out a question asking if they had received my short story, so they answered the next day, which was with the pre-acceptance. It was basically asking if I OK'd the edits they did, and I did (they were super minor, so minor, I could hardly tell they were edits at all).

Well, I sent out the OK around 4 o'clock yesterday, because they asked for my answer ASAP, as they said it's ready for publishing. They also told me I should be expecting an acceptance letter, and that once I OK'd it, they'd send it to me.

I haven't gotten the acceptance letter, and from what they told me, I figured I'd get it today, because the letter sounded like they really, really needed me to OK it.

If I don't get the acceptance letter soon, when should I mail them about it again? I don't want to harass them, but this is the first short story that's finally been accepted, and I really, really want to make this work. I'm going to break down if it suddenly doesn't because of lack of contact. I'm just paranoid it may have gotten lost in cyberspace (how does mail get lost in cyberspace), or something...

Okay, I have a hold in my account that says it's from reservation rewards. I can't think of where the heck this is coming from. I thought about amazon, but I have no idea where I'd find that; plus, I canceled my amazon prime. Other than that, I have no clue where it's coming from. This isn't the first time I've gotten this either, but I was dealing with other bank issues at the time when I first discovered it.

I researched this, expecting the obvious pain, but some people said you sometimes don't feel pain. Others said they don't even realize it until they feel blood. But I think this depends on where you're stabbed. How would getting stabbed in the stomach feel? Details please, I'm doing this research for a death scene in my novel.

Well, I'm techinically wanting to minor in Art, but I'm going to take four semesters of photography, which are the only photography classes and/or photography-related classes available at my university.

My question is, if I minor in photography, would that make me eligible for a job at say, a newspaper? I want to keep my major in it, but the art course at my college is extremely strenuous and makes you take more classes unrelated to photography than related. I'd have to take too many art classes before I could finally take photography 1. I'd have to take three semesters of drawing, one painting, one sculpting, one ceramics, two art history courses, a print making course, a color experience, and a 2D design class, and I'd have to take all of these before I could even take photography 1. A major just doesn't seem worth it. If I minor, the only thing I'm going to be getting rid of is useless classes that have nothing to do with photography, since there are only four photography courses at my university (the generic photogrtahpy 1, 2, 3, 4). No photoshop courses, no photo studio courses, you get the idea. And if I minor in it, I'd have to only take four prerequisites before finally being able to take photography 1.

Was anyone else on here required to take drawing (or two years of it) to do a photography major?

I have to, and it's really discouraging. I tried so hard today to draw some still lifes for about two hours (my class is two and a half hours), and I just couldn't do it. I kept erasing and having to start over, and in the end, I had to accept some really crappy drawings. I know the professor isn't expecting Picasso, and I'm not worried about passing drawing I, but drawing II.

I mean, this sucks. I have to take two years of drawing just to take photography I (well, I have to take other classes as well before I can take photography I, but it's just a history class, some design class, and a sculpting class). If I only had to take one year of drawing, I wouldn't be freaking out. But I am!

My fiance got two driver's offenses: one for passing a car incorrectly (he got a pass on this one--no fine, and now he has a speeding ticket for doing about 22 over). He's twenty-years-old, and says that he might have to go to court irregardless because he's under 21. Did his first offense go on his record? If so, could this be a suspension of his license? Also, we live in Georgia, so what is the estimate do you think? I have no idea how any of this works because I've never gotten a ticket before.

Okay, my brother bought something on ebay two days ago that he doesn't have the money for in his account. I believe it was bought on credit (or debit: two scenarios just in case). He has five hundred dollars for credit, and about four hundred dollars in his account. He was telling me how the money hasn't gotten pulled out his account yet and how the item hasn't bee shipped. I was talking to a friend about this, and she said that they probably won't ship it if he doesn't have the money in his account. He might have used credit (think that's the only option on ebay), but if he used debit, wouldn't he be paying the bank back? Wouldn't the seller still be getting the money, but he'd basically be in debt with an overdraft fee? If he used credit, wouldn't the money still be getting to the seller? I'm confused.
