What to wear with these pants?
They're soft, quiltlike fabric with a white drawstring at the waist--I would describe them as patched gypsy pants. The leg is considerably narrower than gypsies, though, and tapers more evenly. The colors are generally a darker neutral palate; some patches are striped, some paisley, some completely random color swatches. They look a liiiiittle like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Patch-work-Alibaba-trou... but darker, thinner, only a 1" waistband, and more of a color theme.
I have very light tan flats to go with them, but am not sure about shirts... I tend to have a huge collection of pants and nothing to wear with them. I was thinking some kind of lighter neutral color or some blue, but haven't gotten further than that... Fitted? Flowy? Open back?
Thanks :)
3 AnswersFashion & Accessories8 years agoCan minors legally buy gel capsules?
I am in high school and my friend told me it's illegal for minors to buy gel(gelatin) capsules/empty pill capsules. I don't want to look like an idiot and get carded in a crowded store, and for the first time the internet seems to be empty of this topic...
Thanks!
Law & Ethics8 years agoCan you be persecuted for debit card purchases?
I have a teen account with Wells Fargo and would like to make a purchase online, a really beautiful bong, for someone else. Will Wells Fargo be able to check my statements and see that a minor has ordered it, and confront me about it?
It's for my dad, who has bad insomnia and a medi card--a birthday present.
Please help! I don't want to get a visit from the cops telling me to get drug tested!
4 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police8 years agoCause of stomach problems?
I woke up at 4am feeling really nauseous, and was totally sure I was going to throw up, but convinced myself that I wasn't going to since I don't plan on throwing up unless I absolutely have to. My usual solution for feeling weird is to pee, but it didn't help. Then all of a sudden I had to run back to the bathroom and woo diarrhea. This morning I was woken up before noon--a tragedy by any standards--and had really hardcore diarrhea for literally half an hour.
My nose is a tiny bit stuffy but I'm not nearly sick enough to have that kind of a stomach issue yet... Last night me and 2 friends split two THC butter cupcakes, but there wasn't supposed to be enough THC in them to do much, and sure enough we all just got a little buzzed. I also split half a brownie with my friend on Halloween, and ate a lot of candy, obviously, that night--didn't drink, didn't smoke, brownie didn't do much either. (Two wasted edibles in a week, shoot me.)
Is it possible that the cupcakes(or brownies...) really didn't agree with me, or does this have to be attributed to being sick or food poisoning from something else? I've smoked before, but it's been a really long time and I have no tolerance. Is it possible that THC disagrees with my system?
Please help, because that would suck royal balls!
2 AnswersOther - Health9 years agoSongs similar to these?
I'm trying to help some friends of mine discover good electronic music and they both tend to like similar stuff. The best I can classify their taste is as melodic glitchstep with vocals and a fair amount of bass.
If it's helpful, some songs they really like are:
Coyote Kisses - Acid Wolfpack
Pendulum - Set Me On Fire
Skrillex ft Krewella - Breathe
Krewella - One Minute / Killin It
Modulation - Groovy Movie
Fonik - Infectious
Just for some examples.
Also, I'm into pretty much everything electronic, except old school(I'm lame, I know), so if you have any suggestions for that that's great too.
Please help! Pandora is doing me justice but not fast enough! Thank you~
1 AnswerOther - Music9 years agoHelp set up this mouse?
Hi,
I never thought that I would ask for technical help with this kind of thing, but it's starting to get annoying.
About 8 months ago my dad brought back a really nice wireless mouse from China. Okay, well, not really nice, but better than my trackpad. Since I'd just bought myself an attachable mouse the day before, I figured that it would be a pain to set up the wireless one and just used the cheap mouse.
Today I lost it, of course.
The mouse is by "360", whose site is www.360.cn. Unfortunately, though I translated the site, they say nothing about having mice as a product and I can't for the life of me connect the mouse via bluetooth.
There are batteries in it, it's turned on(red light, all systems go), and no matter what I do, I can't get it to get recognized under devices. It's not got any kind of manual or anything, and I've tried sticking a pencil into a hole on the back of the mouse that says "connect". I'm on a MacBook Pro.
Please help...
1 AnswerAdd-ons9 years agoIs it risky for a redhead to get blonde highlights?
I'm a strawberry blonde ginger. My parents were both gingers when they were younger, but my mom became blonde and my dad became...uh...guy-brunette. I'd love to get an extremely layered haircut and color the bottom layer blonde, so that only an inch or two showed under the top layer, but am worried that if I do that it will not only look like I'm "trying too hard"(I'm not, I just like the idea of having a truly fire colored head) but it will also wash out only to leave my hair bleached and damaged.
Should I ask my stylist to color the bottom layer golden blonde, or keep my hair natural? (Or, for that matter, get a streak of neon color in it, like blue or purple or something? I'm in high school, I can get away with murder when it comes to my hair.)
Danke.
6 AnswersHair10 years agoSomeone help!? Impossible decision!?
OK SO.
For the last 3 months I have been looking forward to going to a Deadmau5 concert. For those of you who don't know him, just look up a video of one of his concerts and your life will be changed. Lightshows like those at Burningman.
Anyway, Deadmau5 is coming to Petco Park this Friday, the 28th. He's supposed to have the biggest lightshow ever, as this will be his Halloween concert weekend kickoff show. People have said it's going to be unreal cool. So here's my dilemma.
Choice number one.
Deadmau5 concert. $160 for the cheapest ticket available(early entry though!). Giant lightshow, super cool crowd, awesome music, a night under the stars, lots of insanity and fun. The downside is that none of my friends can go with me(or want to), and that I don't know if there's an age requirement... either way, my dad would insist on coming with me, which would make it awkward. Not to mention that there's a possibility that I'd be booted if there's an age requirement.
Choice number two.
All of my friends go to this thing called Scream Zone where we live. It's a Halloween festival/carnival kind of thing, with a bunch of freaky stuff and lots of people I'd know. A lot of my friends live a fair distance away, so this is a rare opportunity for us to all get together and hang out for a while. It's about $20-30 and they'll all go without me if I'm not there; let's just say that the majority of peoples' Facbeook photos come from Scream Zone after they go haha.
The only day they can do Scream Zone is Friday night. Please help. To sum it up:
Concert: Deadmau5-->Giant venue-->Huge lightshow-->$160-->No friends with me
Scream zone: Friends-->Traditional event-->$20-30-->Memories
HELP!!!!! SUCH A HARD DECISION FOR ME!!!!
2 AnswersOther - Entertainment10 years agoI've had my belly button pierced for two weeks and am worried it's going too well to be good. Should I worry?
I got my belly button pierced two weeks ago. I did extensive research on it and found that quite a lot of people got theirs infected and most of them said it was extremely painful. I've found that it stung a little for the first two hours, then from then on it's not hurt at all unless it's been whacked by something by accident. There is no swelling, no redness, and only a teeny tiny bit of crust around the holes that I soak and gently clean every day. I spray it twice a day with H2Ocean and soak it up to three times a week in a shot glass. I don't get shampoo or conditioner in it and I clean it with just shower water, no soap in case I get the wrong kind.
I'm worried that this is going too well to be true. Should I be taking extra steps, really avoiding touching it at all, or being concerned that there's so little crust? I'm kind of concerned about it. How can I tell if it's infected, and if it shows any signs of starting to be, what should I do?
Thanks!
3 AnswersOther - Skin & Body10 years agoWhy is my cat throwing up orange-ish foam repeatedly?
My cat is 11 years old and for the past few days she's been throwing up foam. She's always thrown up foam every once in a while, but never with actual regularity. We heard her make a sort of yelpy, strangled sound and and has a foam beard now, plus is hiding under our dresser. Her foam-puke is orange tinted and she's always sort of squeaked when we pick her up and hold her around her chest, but only sometimes and we haven't really thought much of it. Her pukes are small and frequent. She seems scared now, not letting us wipe the foam off her chin, and is drooling a lot. No unusual eating habits and no unusual behavior that we've noticed.
Also, two or three weeks ago she jumped onto the separating wall between our patio and the neighbor's and tried to jump onto the roof to go for her nighttime stroll, but the roof was wet and she's old so she slipped. Since she was on the other side and it was midnight, we couldn't do anything to help her. It was about a twelve foot drop and she seemed fine afterwards. Is it possible that she's suffering from internal bleeding or a ruptured something-or-other?
Is this something to worry about? We've called the vet and are going to take her in in an hour, but I'd like to know whether it's something that we should have serious concerns about. Thank you =(

Just want to know his name, he's really a beautiful little boy(probably now a cute teenage boy haha) and I wanted to know a bit about his background. He played Arwen's son for only about 30 seconds in the Lord of the Rings movie Return of the King. Any help appreciated. Thank you!
2 AnswersMovies1 decade agoDid the Spaniards speak the same language as the Mayans in around 1500 B.C.?
I'm doing a journal entry from the perspective of a Spaniard who has just sailed to the Yucatan Peninsula for History. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the Mayans spoke Spanish back then or a different language, and if the Spanish Spaniards spoke was the same as that of the Mayans... Any answers would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. First answer with all the information will be the best answer :)
Thanks,

5 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoPLEASE HELP ME!!!! HOMEWORK ISSUE!!!!?
Okay, I have a really big issue with homework. Well, not really big, but it's got me pretty much stuck since my brain is not in a good place right now haha.
I have to find the participle in each of the following sentences:
1) Caught by a storm, a large whale was washed ashore by the waves.
2) Jumping up and down with delight, the children gathered around the beached animal.
3) The mammal, given the right care, could be saved.
4) The marine biologists worked carefully, keeping the animal wet as they examined it.
5) Encouraged by the crowd, the whale was able to return to its ocean home.
6) Moving out to sea, he tipped his tail to his landlubber friends.
7) Pleased with their accomplishment, the crowd cheered.
Another thing. What are the following:
relative pronoun
reflexive pronoun
demonstrative pronoun
indefinite pronoun
Could anyone explain to me what exactly a participle IS? The instructions are so stupid!
Any help appreciated! Thanks!!
2 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoDoes anyone else feel this way?
I feel, most days, like everything has changed since a year ago, and it will never be the same. My friends are all different. They walk in a pack, and whenever we walk to the drop off place 1/2 a mile from school, I'm stuck behind them and can't get a word in edgewise. But when I leave without them, they yell at me for ditching them. I've taken to walking quietly behind them and not really caring. I've lost the friends I had online, all the people who had talked to me daily and actually been happy to see me. Every time I complain that my friends gang up on me(it's supposed to be playful, and I act like it's okay, but it hurts), they tell me to stop overreacting. Please, someone tell me... I have no place else to go. I don't know if it's because I'm annoying or try to be funny when I'm not or something like that. I express myself through words and art, not through talking. It doesn't work out for me. Any advice appreciated. Thank you. :(
