9 AnswersRenting & Real Estate6 years agoHow to give two weeks notice?
I accepted a job in July and during the first interview, I informed my supervisor that I would be needing 2 days off in the later months for my college graduation. Now in October, I'm being told by my immediate supervisor, who was not present in the interview process, that I probably won't get the days off because we are unstaffed at the moment.
Long story short, I need to tell her, in a professional tone, that I either get the days off or I walk. And please refrain from mentioning the interviewer in yoyr response. I'm trying to learn how to handle myself without bringing up "he/she told me I could" Lol
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoWhere/ how do I make friends?
I left college for good to finish online and find work & I also left all of my friends behind. I have no one to gang out with except for the friends I had in high school that didn't go to college, but all they do is smoke weed. I have tried, unsuccessfully, for 3 months to find a job and have gotten nothing so far & I know that's the only reason I feel so lonely. I am currently single as well. But I hate being 22 and in the house on Friday and Saturday nights. Where do I go to meet friends? I am accustomed to having guy friends because it is far less drama but so far the 3 I met only want sex and I don't want that. Please help. Also I live in Atlanta lol the city of fun but I am miserable lol

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness7 years agoAsking a guy out....?
Charles and I are arising seniors in college and after 6 months of courting, I decide to ask him out... in a text. Instead of saying yes, he told me he wanted to hear it in person so I told him I wasn't gonna ask him at all then. But I am attempting to plan a romantic event where I ask him to be my boyfriend in the park next to our school. I wanted to use candles but it is kinda windy at night down there. There are lights in the park but mood lighting is always better. That's where you guys come in.... I just need finishing touch ideas. I have enlisted his lb/ best friend/ roommate for help cuz I seriously don't plan on talking to him until he says yes. Thanks in advance.

My mom bought me a cheap little anklet and it is too long, where can I get it shortened? She bought it at Ross for 5.99. But it was a gift and I do love it so not wearing it is not an option.
1 AnswerOther - Beauty & Style8 years agoMy dog has really sensitive skin!!?
I have posted a question like this before, but received no helpful answers. I have an English Bulldog and she is allergic to EVERYTHING. She gets bathed about once a month because too often will dry her skin out. But I love her to death and am absolutely torn that nothing helps my pooch!! WE have tried a lot of things: Flax seeds, oatmeal baths, dawn dish soap, baby shampoo, pet medicated shampoo, regular human soap, regular human shampoo, just plain water (lol), lysol, and other things. Some things help a lot but but nothing works fully. The oatmeal broke her out completely, dawn dish soap (most recent), very helpful, but her 'outside smell' and itch returned after like 2 days. She has one antimicrobial soap from Ross, but if you have ever shopped at Ross, you know that is a once in a lifetime occurrence.
What I am asking for? A remedy that will be sensitive to her skin, will not make her break out, but will keep the smell away for longer than a few days, also something that wont make her itch badly, because she will scratch herself until she bleeds, then want you to scratch her lol
Her name is Daisy btw =.) Thanks.
5 AnswersDogs8 years agoHow do you feel about the Christopher Dorner case?
For those who don't know, there is a self proclaimed 'intense' man hunt for a Christopher Dorner in California. He supposedly killed 3 people in retaliation for being fired and for being a victim of racism in his short stint as a police officer. So how does everyone feel about it? Is he wrong? Should be he caught and arrested? Where do you think he is right now?
13 AnswersCurrent Events8 years agoWords of encouragement.?
I have been feeling really depressed lately, although I have no reason to be honestly. I just can't help it. I'm like a second away from withdrawing from all my classes and going home. I have talked to my mom about it, and she pays for me to go to school, so her first response is to tell me to stay but if I can't handle it, come home. But I wanna stay. I really just think im homesick. But I'm a junior in college and im not tryna fall behind. So im asking for words of encouragement. Not really motivation to stay in school just something to make me smile and make my day a little better. Thank you in advance
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoMost comfortable shoes for work?
I dont want to say my mother has bad feet, but they always hurt when she gets off of work. She is a medical assistant so she is on her feet basically from 8 to 6 everyday, and I want to find her the most comfortable shoes for her being on her feet everyday all day. She found some pretty good shoes years ago, Adidas makes them, but it is time for some new ones. So I would like any suggestions from stores I can try to actual shoes I can buy for her. Money is not an issue and time isnt either. But I would like to have them before Mother's day
1 AnswerFashion & Accessories8 years agoHelp me with this tough choice?
I am a 21 year old Junior in college and I do not have a smartphone. I want one really bad, and yesterday, before this important meeting, i called my ma to get advice on my outfit and she told me I could go ahead and the order the Galaxy S III. I was sooo happy. So i went to my meeting with a ginormous smile on my face.
While at the meeting, I learned the dues for membership exceeded 400$ that I would obviously have to obtain from my mother. But I would never consider asking her for both, she has given me a lot that is why I need help deciding which to choose from.
Background. The organization is actually a national fraternity dedicated to community service work and uplifting our youth. They do a lot of work with soup kitchens and I want to open up my own, soup kitchen, after graduation. so by joining I could actually meet someone who could help with that,
With the phone, people laugh at me for having a flip phone still lol and I always miss important information because I have to come back to my laptop to check my email, Facebook, and twitter. The most recent mishap was when I missed out on free battle of the band tickets and t shirts, my school was giving away. and my accounting class makes us do research on our phones in class, and i'm always sitting back, waiting on my friend to find the answers. and I would like an instagram =.)
In short, this is my dilemma, should I get the phone or join the fraternity?
Thank you in advance.

1 AnswerDental9 years agoReluctant to hear my dog is getting spayed?
I should start off by saying I have a very weird relationship with me dog. I love her as is she is my daughter. One time I actually had this dude believe that she was my daughter. That was fun for a minute. lol ANYWAY Because I am so close to her, my family has decided to not tell me important info about my dog. I.E if she dies, they claim they wont tell me. TODAY!!!! My sister called me and told me Daisy is getting spayed on Thursday and I flip out. One i'm mad no one told me, two i'm away at school and shes gonna need me in recovery, and three i didn't think they would really keep stuff from me. So I text my mother and ask her why didn't she tell me, and she says huh, lol confused, I text her back and she says huh again, and then she said studies show dogs who are spayed are happier. ANYWAY. Is my baby getting spayed a good thing, or do i need to drive 3 hours back home to stop this charade??
12 AnswersDogs9 years agoImmunity to an Ibuprofen?
I would remove the 'an' from my question but I needed 20 characters. lol Anyway. I got my period when I was like 11 or 12 and maybe 6 months after it started, I began having these terrible menstrual cramps. So I take Ibuprofen monthly for them. When it first started I took 2 on the onset for about 4 years. Then in high school, two just wasnt enough anymore. So i have been taking 4 on the onset of cramps for the past 6 years. YESTERDAY. I started my period, I took 4 ibuprofen like a normally do and it did nothing, but you are not suppose to exceed 6 in 24 hours so I just dealt with the pain but when I woke up this morning I took an extra 2 and it seems to have helped a little. My question is, have I built up an immunity to ibuprofen? And if that is the case, what is a safe alternative? I have discussed options with my doctor but she advised against birth control because I am too young lol and she prescribed something else but it did not work and the pills were too big. & Midol doesnt work for me either. =.(
2 AnswersAlternative Medicine9 years agoWhat should I do with my boyfriend?
I have been dating this guy for like 8 months now. To start, I never wanted to date him, but I guess peer pressure but us together, anyway, I fell in love with the guy and it was great. Now 8 months later, I am just so over our relationship. Whenever I bring up that I want to break up, he gets so sad and it hurts my feelings, so I always say never mind. I hear he is that way because this is his longest relationship, im his first real girlfriend, and he gave me his virginity. But anyway, it just seems like lately everything he does gets on my nerves and I know its because im falling out of 'like' with him. And I tell him all the time I don't wanna change him to make myself happy, but in way I unintentionally change him, mainly when I say 'stop that, or don't do that around me'. But he has a lot of flaws I just don't want to look over anymore. and I can't help him break his 'weird' habits, because I don't want to change him. But I think he needs to change in order to find another girlfriend after me.
Lastly, I feel sort of guilty for trying to leave because I suffered from some serious health issues recently that i'm still trying to work through, but they are not as severe anymore =.) But he has been so supportive and encouraging throughout this while ordeal, so i don't want him to think 'im good enough to see you at your worse, but not at your best' type stuff. Also, we go back to college in August, and we will be living in the same dorm on the same floor, so it will be super awkward if we are not together...
Really I just don't know anymore. I will accept any outside help I can get at this point. And I should add, I have tried talking to him about how I feel but he gets so wrapped up in the idea of me leaving that he shuts down. Thanks for reading. ALSO!! We graduate next year, and I wanna get an apartment and he wants to move in with me, and whenever I talk about how excited I am about the possibility of being pregnant, EVENTUALLY, he always says stuff that implies he wants to be the father.
12 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoDoes the fruit Papaya taste good?
I was recently diagnosed with high risk- HPV and I start my treatment on Monday, but I was looking up some information and I read that women who consume Papaya fruit are less likely to develop lesions that cause cervical cancer from HPV. So before I go fill up my mini fridge with them, are they good? I mean, I am going to buy them regardless, but I would like to know if the are good enough to buy a lot of like oranges or strawberries, or should I just by two a week and eat them slow, like say cream corned? lol I can eat oranges all day, but I will only eat cream corn once a week, and that is really pushing it. lol
4 AnswersOther - Food & Drink9 years agoCan I un-extend expiration on yahoo answers?
I just recently asked another question and I was in a rush to pick the 'best answer' and provide my reasoning for it before I forgot, and I read on another question that you could extend the expiration period, but I thought when I clicked on it, they would let me pick a time that I wont to extend it too, so I was gonna make the time shorter BECAUSE I FOUND THE NEST ANSWER ALREADY. Anyway, it didnt. I clicked the option & it just went away. Is there a way to reverse it? I don't want to delete the question though, because its good, and I think it will help some dog lovers with stinky puppies. lol
1 AnswerYahoo Answers9 years agoBetter ways to get my Dog clean?
I have a 6 year old English Bulldog named Daisy. She has terribly sensitive skin. She is allergic to grass and a ton of other things outside 7 inside our home. We have to wash her with Baby Shampoo, because she breaks out with anything else. & if we bathe her too often, she gets rashes and she itches terribly. SO MY QUESTION IS. Is there anything I can maybe add to her shampoo that will make her stay cleaner longer? I plan on bathing her today, but whenever she gets a bath, that fresh smell goes away after a day or two. Any ideas? Please be mindful she has very sensitive skin, so no crazy things. lol
6 AnswersDogs9 years agoHow does 'Life' work, like being out on your own?
I am actually graduating college next year and I just have some questions about how the 'Real World' works. Like, when I get job, if my paycheck is suppose to like 8 thousand dollars a month, do I get all that money in my bank account?I want to live in a townhouse, will I be able to add another dead bolt on the door and an alarm system, or do I need to buy a house to do that? I watch the show infested a lot, what do I do if I buy a place that has a lot of bugs in it? When you get into a car accident, who do you call first? Things like that. I would appreciate if someone explained to me about these things without an attitude, but I know that is nearly impossible. I'm not ashamed of my ignorance, because i'm trying to fix it at this point.
