I kind of want to get a second job. I'd like the secondary income to go completely towards my new computer funds. I'm in college, so I can't work mid-afternoon (or morning, for that matter); I currently work at Menards (which is a hardware store) and get about 25-30 hours a week, but I really...

I got my tax info today from my employer. I have a few questions... What online tax service would you recommend that is free? Last year I remember having to re-do the entire thing like three times on a number of different sites, because when you got to the end you'd actually have to pay...

They're like... $30+ at all places I've seen online. Anyone have one that they'd wanna get rid of?

I have a question regarding the Simpsons... It's pretty apparent that the animation quality drastically improves in this series in the late 90's, or around 2000 or so. Does anyone know why? Did they get a new animator? I know nothing about animation... did they maybe switch techniques? I...

I ran upstairs to get some milk and when I came back downstairs, I realized that there was a crack in my monitor. Literally, from the top to the bottom there is a crack running the entire height of it. Is this common? I've never heard of anything like this. It was bizarre. I thought it was a...

Anyone have personal experience with them? I hear that they are owned by Amway, who were discovered to be a fraud. I went to a meeting tonight and it sounds too good to be true... mixed reviews from what I've read on personal anecdotes so far... Thoughts?

I'm in my third semester of college. I didn't really have a good first year (2.5 cumulative), and I can't say this semester is going very well either. Started at 17 credits. Immediately decidedly I'd go to 14, because I needed to get my grades up so I wanted to stay focused... Well, I emailed...

The past couple days I've had diarrhea and have been throwing up any time any food/liquid hits my stomach. What do I say when I call in sick for that? Do I actually say "diarrhea" or do I just say that I'm not feeling well? EDIT -- so here's what happened. Her: "This is hardware, how can I...

A friend of mine being one of them. Cases in point: - we're at work -- at Menards (similar to Lowe's, if you're not familiar). My boss, who's in his late 30's or early 40's, is sitting at the desk with me and my buddy. We're looking at the schedule, and my buddy gets 35 hours. "35 hours!?," he...

I really wanna cut down on my pop intake. I'm starting to run like 2.5 miles nightly just so I get into shape, and I know I'm going to have to cut down on the pop I drink to help with that.. I'm planning on getting a pizza tonight, but it got me to thinking: what the hell am I going to drink...

I always had this misconception that like... you had to buy a phone through the place you got your phone from, otherwise they were "locked" or something and you couldn't use them. However, a friend of mine sold me an old phone for $5... it doesn't seem to work and it's kind of old anyway, so I...

The recent "workout mix music" topic inspired to start going out and running. I try and do it 3-4 times a week. Unfortunately, the portable CD player is starting to feel archaic... I can't run without it skipping, or the batteries falling out of place. I'm looking for a good affordable MP3...

What I mean by this is: what game that was in production/expected to be released that never panned out were you most frustrated with? Sometime (circa 1997) I was looking through a Nintendo Power magazine. They were previewing a new game called "Earthbound 64." My jaw dropped. About a year...

Does anyone have any old Nintendo Power lots they don't want anymore? I am craving ones from like 1990 - 1996. I know some people don't care about them at all (I remember someone offering me a huge lot for like $20, but shipping killed the deal). I'm willing to spend like $30-40. Anyone have...

I'm sure someone will know the answer to this. Since I live in the North of the United States (North Dakota) and am in college, a group of friends and I are taking are taking a trip to Canada. I'm sure everyone knows this, but the drinking age up there is only 18. I'm only 19, so this will be...

Currently I'm working as a "Sports Clerk." I get paid minimum wage at a newspaper. I'm basically in charge of gathering scores and stuff along with a couple other people. Obviously, the pay sucks. The hours do, too (9-11 at night). However, I do view this as good experience... because I have...

*ring, ring* Me: "Hello?" Friend: "Hey, what are you doing tonight? Do you have to work?" Me: "Yeah, I do." Friend: "Do you get done at 12:00, again?" Me: "Yeah." Friend: "Well, after work, can I come over?" Me: "OK." Friend: "Yeah, well, I want to use your computer to do this DOS lab we...

What's the best way to accomplish this? Anyone know of any unorthadox methods that work really well, or anything? At my job, I seriously have a really hard time hearing. I have two bosses. One of them takes unreasonably quitely and I always have to ask him to repeat himself. The other one has a...

OK, last year I did my taxes with TurboTax online, and I got charged like $10 total, I bet. Now I'm having to pay like $55; they charge an additional $25 to have their fees deducted directly from your return (as opposed to paying them with a credit card). I thought it would be $25 total, but...

Holy crap. I'm staying at my aunt's house watching her dog. They live in an apartment. Acrossed the hall lives another relative of mine. It's actually my uncle's place. Now my uncle's girlfriend is younger, and she just came over here and talked to me. They've been dating for a while, but I've...
