I would like to go to college for either art, history, or film. I can see pretty clear paths for the former two, but not for the third.
What preparations should I make? What do I have to know?What is some good advice for an aspiring film student?
If you decide to head into film, find an undergraduate program that can set you up in internships because that's the best way to find jobs after graduation. If you don't have an internship that provides contacts in the industry (and a potential job offer after graduation), then you're pretty much on your own when it comes to finding a job once you finish school. Everyone wants to be a director, but it's easier to get started in the industry in production simply because there are more jobs in production. The entry level jobs require long hours and don't pay much, but they provide valuable contacts and get you started. You'll need good social skills, good organizational skills, flexibility and perseverance to succeed in production. If you think you want to be a director, start taking photography courses because filming is a visual medium and you need to learn to see what the camera sees.

What is the best advice for switching my regular IRA to a Roth IRA?
Considering the current price of stocks, isn' t this the best time(2008)to switch to a Roth IRA so that I can reduce my regular IRA minimum required distribution, in order to pay less income tax in the coming years? I am 73yrs oldWhat is the best advice for switching my regular IRA to a Roth IRA?
Convertng to a ROTH does not mean that you must invest in stocks. That's an independent choice. You could do stocks... or CDs, or Treasury bills, etc. Whether to switch is more related to your tax and financial situation. It coud be a great decision, or a poor decision. It just depends on your situation.What is the best advice for switching my regular IRA to a Roth IRA?
Possibly.
I'd suggest to just keep taking out as much from the traditional IRA as possible until you hit the first tax bracket and then take out of the Roth any more you need.
May be the fed will do something crazy and reduce taxes on traditional ira distributions to help the middle class if recession hits. I mean, Roth's arn't supposed to exist much longer but odds are they will either extend them or make them permanent anyways. Unless your Roth wont last long I'd say wait for more favorable tax laws to make large pulls from the traditional.
Well, I'm 28 so i got 20-30 years. This may be swaying my opinion.
In theory, yes.
But I'd carefully look at your overall finances as moving a huge amount of money will trigger income tax. I would only suggest estimating your taxes several times with different amounts and only move out the 10% or 15% tax bracket's worth.
You must still be filing either single or MFJ, not MFS.
Your income must be less than $100K.
You cannot roll over your minimum required distribution for the year. (The conversion will reduce the amount remaining in the account and will reduce the 2009 mrda).

What is the best advice you ever received on writing good poetry
The best advice that I got is probably:
In poetry, you are not trying to communicate information, but experience.What is the best advice you ever received on writing good poetry
Show, don't tell
Use detail to show
Be prepared to cross out that word or phrase you really really really like if it doesn't fit.What is the best advice you ever received on writing good poetry
Don't even try it.....I was told.
I WROTE some lines once on a time
In wondrous merry mood,
And thought, as usual, men would say
They were exceeding good.
They were so queer, so very queer,
I laughed as I would die;
Albeit, in the general way,
A sober man am I.
I called my servant, and he came;
How kind it was of him
To mind a slender man like me,
He of the mighty limb.
';These to the printer,'; I exclaimed,
And, in my humorous way,
I added, (as a trifling jest,)
';There'll be the devil to pay.';
He took the paper, and I watched,
And saw him peep within;
At the first line he read, his face
Was all upon the grin.
He read the next; the grin grew broad,
And shot from ear to ear;
He read the third; a chuckling noise
I now began to hear.
The fourth; he broke into a roar;
The fifth; his waistband split;
The sixth; he burst five buttons off,
And tumbled in a fit.
Ten days and nights, with sleepless eye,
I watched that wretched man,
And since, I never dare to write
As funny as I can.
i think i've only been given one piece of advice that applied generically to all my poetry. it was something along the lines of....
';you keep putting in lines just to fill the gaps. stop it!';
i don't think i succeeded in avoiding the advice-giver's ';crime'; of filler lines...
Probably the best advice I ever got was ';Give it up, it'll break your heart worse than a woman';. Of course I was stubborn, and did not give it up, and now you see what is left after years of ridicule and humiliation. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
your tryin to communicate information to, just make sure you say what you want to say the way you want to say it.
From my Creative Writing instructor on punctuation:
';You can use it in poems, you know--not only CAN you, but you SHOULD!';
That poetry is not made of ideas, but of words. That was Mallarm茅 talking to me. I was very young then. Considering he died in 1898.
EDIT: corrected typo... I am such a perfectionist.
A teacher pulled me aside one day and said, ';Don't worry so much about learning how to write a good story. Go out there and learn how to tell a good story.';
The best advice I have ever gotten is to read poetry, lots of it and different styles.
Probably try and explain the experience with words, instead of just using words! Close to the one you received! Cheers!!
Let your heart do the thinking and your hand do the writing.
Please let someone that knows how to write poetry do it, not you.
K.I.S.S.
Make it bleed.
Write what you know.

What are the benefits of doing debt consolidation instead of bankrupcy? Any advice or sites to visit?
It is true that bankrupcy is going to show on my credit for the rest of my life? They are asking for $600 for a monthly payment and I cant do that amount. What can I do? I dont want to do bankrupcy
Thank you!What are the benefits of doing debt consolidation instead of bankrupcy? Any advice or sites to visit?
Yes it is true. Bankruptcy is bad so don't do it. get a second job and consolidate your bills.

Bankrupcy stays on your credit for 10 years. If you go with a debt management company then your credit can go down but in the long run will start to increase as you make your timely payments. The other thing you can do is a debt settlement. That means that a company will negogiate with your credit cards to pay off half the balance and consider it paid off. you must be aware though that your credit cards are not getting paid until atleast the half is accumulated. I'm in the debt management business and if you need help we give free credit counseling.
With the new bankruptcy law, breaking free from debt has become more difficult. Hence avoid getting caught in the debt. If due to any reason, you are in debt, remedy the situation immediately. Though debt consolidation loans charge lower rates of interest than most other types of loans, there is a big difference in rates charged by various lenders. Hence research the lenders thoroughly before applying. Tell the lender how much you can pay and till when you can pay. They can find out a right plan for you.
http://debt-trap.com/category/Debt-Consolidation-Basics.html
Keep looking around and yes, avoid bancruptcy. I did it back in 01 and the lawyer who did it missed a couple of things for one but it still isnt off my record and I have paid very high interest rates for things because of it. I stupidly thought that what or why you filed couldnt be seen, just that you had filed but I was wrong. Glad that time in life is over. Be careful not to let it come to garnishment either as that isnt very favorable with employers.

but my brother had a baby 6 months ago aswell. im scared to tell my mam and dad if i am pregnant incase they go mad. :OMight be pregnant but need some advice please?
The best thing you can do hun is take a test, there is no point worrying about what your parents will say if you're not even sure you're pregnant.
Definitely do a pregnancy test, the only way you can move on with your life is by knowing the truth.
I was 19 when I fell pregnant, if you are pregnant you may find your parents are surprisingly supportive.
Hope this helps, and whatever the test results are that you are happy!!Might be pregnant but need some advice please?
wait and see if u miss your period then take a test then think about telling your parents
if you are its your choice what to do good luck
edit . . . i just looked at your questions you have asked this for about 3 weeks now so take a test then u can worry
its too early to tell if ur pregnant yet, wait till u miss yr period. just a question if ur worried about yr parents finding out ur pregnant why have u come off the pill or rather if u have come off the pill why arent u using an alternative reliable contraceptive ?

What is the best advice for high school freshmen?
Lots of things are said to incoming freshman. Now its your turn to pass along words of wisdom.What is the best advice for high school freshmen?
* Find what you love. Ask around about which teachers are best and experiment with classes you might like. Volunteer or get a job in an area that interests you. Don't let your life be defined by the one-size-fits-all requirements; do your own thing.
* Don't worry too much about making friends right away; the people you cling to in the first week may turn out to be less interesting than the people you meet when you've found your niche.
* Be organized. Keep track of all your responsibilities in a planner or calendar -- helps you avoid ';Oh, that was due TODAY????';
* Be IN CHARGE of your own education. Ask for help if you need it; don't wait for parents or teachers to take responsibility.What is the best advice for high school freshmen?
dont slack off becuz it will come back to haunt u in about 2 or 3 years when its time to graduate and u dont have enough credits!!
Just be tough. Don't let them see any fear and show them who's boss. They're just being silly. If you show them your tough they will respect you and usually leave you alone.
Focus on school because all the social politics and separate groups are don't even apply in the ';real world'; so don't worry about being popular or cool. Just do your work and get good grades so you can get into some kick *** college. Trust me that will be WAY more important than anything else.
be smart about your actions
Beware of Seniors!! Ok, in all seriousness. Take notes, pay attention, study and get good grades. Don't be tardy, try not to miss any days, and be helpful to the teachers. These are the years when your grades count toward your GPA. Stay ';Above the Influence'; with peer pressure. Don't be afraid to be yourself and always remember, not everyone is always going to like you but you don't have to make it your problem, it is theirs'. Good luck...
Be as organized as you can. Pay attention to and keep track of due dates. It wouldn't hurt for you to have a planner or electronic organizer. Pay attention in class and take notes. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Most teachers don't mind, especially if you've been paying attention. Don't put off doing homework or studying. Your grade are going to be very important from this point on. Don't stress out about it, but just do your best.
Pay attention
my best advice to you is PICK YOUR FRIENDS WISELY!
one thing that is going to make or break a positive high school experience is your friends. one thing you don't need when enteing an already stressful situation such as a new school is drama created by your friends. i should know, because my freshman year sucked thanks to the friends i chose. also, make sure you have responsible friends. You don't want to have your friends getting mixed up in things like drugs or alcohol or sex or anything like that... because who you hang out with is ultimately a reflection of yourself! You'll be fine just as long as you dont do anything stupid!! don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of your parents, your principal, or your grandparents! make that your motto... have faith in yourself and don't do anything STUPID!
stay free of drugs, alcohol and tabaco products. Stay in school...
10 years after you will regret or appreciate what u did 10 years ago.
Don't become an statistic.

So whats the best advice you ever received and who told it to you?What is the best advice you ever recieved?
Well, to me it was by one of my Teacher who was a proffessor of English. I was over confident about my studies up to Graduation level. I never confined myself to the text books, i had a habbit to read from every where even mostly at the cost of my course books, which was of course deadly from the examination point of view. I argued with every teacher giving reference of different books and writers. Once this teacher talked to me and said '; ahmad I appreciate whatever you study and work, and also what you have acquired from your studies. Just tell me one thing. Do you think your examiner is also familiar with what you know? He might never have the knowledge of what you know. He only knows the precribed books. Therefore concentrate on your text books at least to improve your result.'; This was only 18 days before the examination.

What are the best advice to give to immigrants so they have a successful life in the US?
Hi, I'm an immigrant and I'm trying to put together a book to help other immigrants to create a successful life for theirself in the United States. I want to help people to avoid the mistakes I made when I first moved here. I'm looking for intelligents tips, such as where to get cheap medical cares, good websites, where to get free English classes, which banks are the most friendly toward immigrants, which organizations work to help immigrants to integrate the US in a better way and so on...
Wether you are an immigrant yourself or not, thanks a lot for all your tips in advance!What are the best advice to give to immigrants so they have a successful life in the US?
Read Atlas Shrugged and embrace Individual accomplishment!
Start an Immigrant based Ayn Rand work shop. She was an Immigrant from Russia and saw America in a way that even born-Americans missed!What are the best advice to give to immigrants so they have a successful life in the US?
get an education early in life, don't start a family until after you've graduated college.
and don't have children young. wait until your late 20's and or after you've graduated college.
on and added note.
my hubbys parents migrated here from mexico. they started thier own business and didnt have children until thier late 20's almost 30's. so now they have the financial ability to put thier kids through college. that is the best thing you can do for yourself and your future children. if they can do it then you can do it.
If you are not legal, go home. If you are, learn the english language.
be legal, learn English and stop looking for hand-outs!!!
First of all APPLY at the nearest US Counsulate General office and fill out all the required paperwork.
Do not travel until you have your visas that authorize you to be a long term resident with work priviledges. Have enough money saved up BEFORE you travel to the USA so you will NOT have to drain social service resources - ie ';free'; medical care and subsidized housing, and food subsidies.
Legitimate immigrants do not come to the USA and take benefits from US citizens who have genuine need.
don't listen to the liberals . Work hard and make something of yourself , America is a place of endless opportunity for those who want it . Free medical - get a job . The best way to learn another language is rosetta stone , for about $300 you will learn english . the simple answer - don't depend on anyone else for your success
one tip for illegal for your book:
- always wear ninja suit everywhere u go...so u won't get caught and deported.
Legal immigrants who have a command of the English language and who observe immigration laws, and who make every effort to be self-suporting, rather than exploit social welfare programs, tend to do very well in the United States. Banks and businesses will provide resources and encouragement to those who want to come here and start their own businesses.
English is essential and a marketable skill will make it possible to succeed. (That goes for native born Americans as well as immigrants.)
The best advice you could give an immigrant would be to spend his or her time and effort establishing a business rather than wasting time trying to work the system for handouts. There truly is no such thing as a free lunch. If a person gets tangled up in the web of government and social service programs, they will never break free.
You are going to find different local areas have different deals. I would start with the chamber of commerce in most communities to help you with this. they will know who is focused on immigrants and can help them the best.

Edit: 1 star for you. Great question! Good luck with your book!
Edit2: Friends, you do realize that expressing malice towards legal immigrants only serves the cause of illegal immigration supporters. If people come here legally, they deserve all the advice they can get.
I think you should ask as many immigrants as possible what their experiences are. Find people with different backgrounds from yours: a different color skin, a different educational background, a different religion. They will all have different experiences. I think it is a great idea, and good luck to you!

Well learning english as best they can is an obvious one.
But you know what. the BEST thing they can do is be grateful.
Yesterday I was eating lunch and there was a TV on and cops was one. There was an immigrant who was being arrested for a DUI.
The cop was fair to him. And when they were booking him at the jail the man turned to the officer and said thank you for treating me with some dignity, I know I did soemthin wrong, but I appreciate you treating me well.
I know this is a situation of him being arrested but the point is he knew he did something wrong, he was polite and cooperative to the cop and the cop treated him with respect and he will probably receive a lighter penalty maybe because of it.
A good attitude will take you farther than anything else.

I only have one tip. If you really want to help them be successful, stress that they need to come here to be an American, not a (Mexican, Vietnamese, whatever) living in America. This country was built by immigrants, but the difference between then and now is that our Forefathers all came here to contribute to the development of this nation, not to just make money to send back home to family members while maintaining loyalty to their native land. Nothing makes me more disturbed than to see people here cheering when Americans are maligned, mistreated and ridiculed by people in their native country. America is a GREAT country, and those who choose to immigrate here must understand that the privilege of coming here carries with it certain responsibilities like paying taxes, obeying laws, and taking pride in AMERICA. I do not mean to suggest that people surrender their heritage when they come here, but they must be prepared to change their loyalty from the old to the new. Good luck with your book.
This would not be the appropriate forum to do so, if you are who you say you are. Work with local groups that work immigrants instead.

get an education early in life, don't start a family until after you've graduated college.
and don't have children young. wait until your late 20's and or after you've graduated college.
on and added note.
my hubbys parents migrated here from mexico. they started thier own business and didnt have children until thier late 20's almost 30's. so now they have the financial ability to put thier kids through college. that is the best thing you can do for yourself and your future children. if they can do it then you can do it.
If you are not legal, go home. If you are, learn the english language.
be legal, learn English and stop looking for hand-outs!!!
First of all APPLY at the nearest US Counsulate General office and fill out all the required paperwork.
Do not travel until you have your visas that authorize you to be a long term resident with work priviledges. Have enough money saved up BEFORE you travel to the USA so you will NOT have to drain social service resources - ie ';free'; medical care and subsidized housing, and food subsidies.
Legitimate immigrants do not come to the USA and take benefits from US citizens who have genuine need.
don't listen to the liberals . Work hard and make something of yourself , America is a place of endless opportunity for those who want it . Free medical - get a job . The best way to learn another language is rosetta stone , for about $300 you will learn english . the simple answer - don't depend on anyone else for your success
one tip for illegal for your book:
- always wear ninja suit everywhere u go...so u won't get caught and deported.
Legal immigrants who have a command of the English language and who observe immigration laws, and who make every effort to be self-suporting, rather than exploit social welfare programs, tend to do very well in the United States. Banks and businesses will provide resources and encouragement to those who want to come here and start their own businesses.

What is the best advice on publishing an article?
The article is titled ';Complex Simplicity: The Beginning of Time'; (about 2 pages).
It is a look at the various existing theories/beliefs on GOD and the Universe, creation, time, space...etc. with a unique conclusion and a NEW Theory!What is the best advice on publishing an article?
you should have an editor review your article before publishing.What is the best advice on publishing an article?
two pages and it deals with god, the universe, existing theories and beliefs? and a new theory?
you ought to expand it to the length it requires, make sure you are footnoted and referenced to the hilt, and submit it to a scientific journal.
My new theory is that none of us knows for sure what happened and that we should all enjoy ourselves, protect the environment instead of arguing about who created the world, how, what, etc...

What is the best advice you ever recieved?
So whats the best advice you ever received and who told it to you?What is the best advice you ever recieved?
Well, to me it was by one of my Teacher who was a proffessor of English. I was over confident about my studies up to Graduation level. I never confined myself to the text books, i had a habbit to read from every where even mostly at the cost of my course books, which was of course deadly from the examination point of view. I argued with every teacher giving reference of different books and writers. Once this teacher talked to me and said '; ahmad I appreciate whatever you study and work, and also what you have acquired from your studies. Just tell me one thing. Do you think your examiner is also familiar with what you know? He might never have the knowledge of what you know. He only knows the precribed books. Therefore concentrate on your text books at least to improve your result.'; This was only 18 days before the examination. I took his words very seriously thenonwards and got through the exam successfully.What is the best advice you ever recieved?

What are the best advice to give to immigrants so they have a successful life in the US?
Hi, I'm an immigrant and I'm trying to put together a book to help other immigrants to create a successful life for theirself in the United States. I want to help people to avoid the mistakes I made when I first moved here. I'm looking for intelligents tips, such as where to get cheap medical cares, good websites, where to get free English classes, which banks are the most friendly toward immigrants, which organizations work to help immigrants to integrate the US in a better way and so on...

What was the craziest advice or suggestion you got?
What was the wackiest, weirdest or most off-the-wall advice you got while planning your wedding, regardnig your wedding? Crazy ideas? Crazy concepts? Insane reception ideas? Odd food suggestions? Let's hear it!
For me: my mom swears up and down I don't have to get my hair done for the wedding. She thinks I can just wash it, dry it and stick the veil in it. I think she is crazy. My hair is and always has been absolutely insane, curly and huge. Oddly, this is the only thing she has a strong opinion about. Go figure lol...What was the craziest advice or suggestion you got?
A co-worker told me to lie to the priest during our meetings with him. Gee, I'll really have to think about that. Especially considering the source - a woman who wants to get a divorce but says she can't afford it. Instead, she stays married and dates a super-rich guy who is also married to somebody else all the while still sleeping with her husband who has no idea that her ';overnight shifts'; are not actually for work so she can ';keep the peace at home.';
Perhaps getting married wasn't in her best interest. I wonder what would have happened if she'd told the priest the truth...?What was the craziest advice or suggestion you got?
Great question. For me, because I am Catholic and my fiance is Methodist, his mother suggested that we marry in a Lutheran church so that we can ';compromise'; on our religion. I found that a little ridiculous.
My friend suggested that I just buy a white prom dress instead of a wedding dress to save money. Um, hello, people would notice, especially since my wedding is pretty formal.
My mom feels that I don't owe my bridesmaids anything, and suggested I get them all a $10 candle. I told her that they have all spent over $100 on their gowns and accessories, and three of them have to fly to get here and they are hosting my shower, but she still doesn't think gifts for them are a necessity, especially for my two sisters.
It's not so much that it was crazy advice, but that people were actually offended when I wouldn't accept their advice (even online folks). I made my own wedding dress and people thought I was insane. It was fabulous. It wasn't that hard. You wouldn't BELIEVE the negative comments I got from people about making your own wedding dress. Even on Yahoo!Answers when someone asked about making their own, I got many thumbs down when I said ';SURE! You can do it!';. I'm not even a great seamstress and someone bought my dress already (Tudor recreation) for $700.
On the whole though, I got a lot of terrific advice on Yahoo!Answers from do-it-yourself-for-less-money allowing me to stay in budget.
At my wedding, my first maid of honor didn't show up. The flowers weren't the flowers I asked for. My cousin didn't have music ready. Then, there was the part where my husband's cousin covered our car in butter, cheese, and hot dogs. That, of course, led to a shouting match and a near fist fight. Which led to my husband's grandmother refusing to be in any of our wedding pictures...I guess because she thought covering the car with butter was perfectly all right.
I didn't get much advice from my mother, because I had heard her for my sister's previous two weddings. The first one she suggested using potpourri instead of rose petals, so every step my sister took crunched.
I felt bad, but my mom was elected to bring chairs and that was about it.
My husband's uncle pulled aside at the reception and gave us advice on our marriage. Cherish each other everyday, always say I love you, etc.
All pretty good sounding advice but this is coming from a man on his second marriage whose current wife NEVER comes around to family gatherings or spends time with him and I believe he's had numerous affairs. Thanks - I think we'll figure it out on our own!
someone told me that the brides maid is more important than the maid of honor and i read about one bride using live gold fish in bowls as their centerpieces/ favors at the end of the night every one got to take home their fish may i sarcastically say 'yay'
To buy a gown that exceeded my entire budget. I couldn't believe anyone would pay that much for one dress.
Then I saw the show ';Say yes to the dress.';, and saw people buying dresses that cost more than my first car.
That isn' the craziest I've heard...my family was pretty good through it all, but HIS family.. oy.. his aunt was stuck on doing a great big cheesy rose infested bouquet for me.. GAG..
It was hard to convince her that It really wasn't my taste or desire, I think she tried for months
lol my cuzzin when she was getting married we were looking or bridemaids dresses and my stupid aunt decided so that everyone save money that we all go in diffrent dresses and this other girl did not have mmoney so her bridesmaid dress was in white =/
my dad's advice...';Don't take my advice.';
my FMIL suggested not to have flowers during the wedding coz they cost too much haha
I went for a make up trail downtown Toronto; it was someone who my mom suggested. I asked the make up artist (if you can call her that) to make me look natural and fresh with a nice bridal glow! a bit like the natural look of the cover girl ads. Well I don鈥檛 know what she did but she was actually using what looked like a small paint brush and painting on the foundation! She used this vibrant Blue eyeliner, about four different colors of eye shadow. It was horrible. I was scared to even look in the mirror because my head felt five pounds heavier from all the make up. I did look, and I was in shock. My mother suggested that I let her do my make up for the wedding and that it looked natural!!!! There was nothing natural about it; I looked like a show girl! I couldn鈥檛 believe she even suggested that I show up at my wedding looking like I just did Las Vegas show!
This isn't crazy advice, but it's just kind of one of those no-brainer things. When we first started planning the wedding, my FMIL (I love her to death, seriously) would suggest the most obvious things that brides-to-be already know. We were looking for a hotel to get a block of rooms, and she said: (knowing full well we were going around asking for their group rates) ';make sure you tell them you're booking a few rooms because sometimes hotels will discount the price.'; Ok, great idea, thanks! :)
Then there was my friend who thought that I didn't need to be considering anyone's feelings, as long as it made my life easier. We're having a beach wedding and I had to think about getting chairs, etc. She suggested making all of our guests stand, because, ';screw them, they can stand for a few minutes.'; Ok, tell that to my 84 year old future grandma who uses a walker. And ';you don't need to feed them, save your money.';
Other than that, though, I've been pretty lucky with people staying out of it or offering constructive criticism.
My MIL suggested that I should ride the limo with everyone else from the hotel to the venue, get this, two hours before the wedding.
They hired the limo from 3 pm till midnight and wanted me to ';wait'; for the limo and drive with them at 3 pm and only have 1 and 40 minutes to get ready in the bridal suite (ceremony at 5 pm). I politley declined as I needed more time to get ready, but they INSISTED that I should ride the limo and they were not letting go!. I was sooo enfuriated that I used the ';this is my wedding, I do what I want'; card... I mean, come'on ...what bride gets ready in an hour and a half????
Another one, my MOH (bless her heart) hands me a glass full of beer right before the ceremony. Here we are in the limo with my sparkling, brand new wedding gown, and she hands me a hand full of beer on a moving vehicle????? I handed out to someone else without making a fuss. I know that she meant well, but I did not want a spill on my dress 30 seconds before the ceremony!!!!
Good luck
My fiance tried to tell me we didn't need any flowers! lol! Of course I made sure that we will have an abundant amount of flowers!
For me: my mom swears up and down I don't have to get my hair done for the wedding. She thinks I can just wash it, dry it and stick the veil in it. I think she is crazy. My hair is and always has been absolutely insane, curly and huge. Oddly, this is the only thing she has a strong opinion about. Go figure lol...What was the craziest advice or suggestion you got?
A co-worker told me to lie to the priest during our meetings with him. Gee, I'll really have to think about that. Especially considering the source - a woman who wants to get a divorce but says she can't afford it. Instead, she stays married and dates a super-rich guy who is also married to somebody else all the while still sleeping with her husband who has no idea that her ';overnight shifts'; are not actually for work so she can ';keep the peace at home.';
Perhaps getting married wasn't in her best interest. I wonder what would have happened if she'd told the priest the truth...?What was the craziest advice or suggestion you got?
Great question. For me, because I am Catholic and my fiance is Methodist, his mother suggested that we marry in a Lutheran church so that we can ';compromise'; on our religion. I found that a little ridiculous.
My friend suggested that I just buy a white prom dress instead of a wedding dress to save money. Um, hello, people would notice, especially since my wedding is pretty formal.
My mom feels that I don't owe my bridesmaids anything, and suggested I get them all a $10 candle. I told her that they have all spent over $100 on their gowns and accessories, and three of them have to fly to get here and they are hosting my shower, but she still doesn't think gifts for them are a necessity, especially for my two sisters.
It's not so much that it was crazy advice, but that people were actually offended when I wouldn't accept their advice (even online folks). I made my own wedding dress and people thought I was insane. It was fabulous. It wasn't that hard. You wouldn't BELIEVE the negative comments I got from people about making your own wedding dress. Even on Yahoo!Answers when someone asked about making their own, I got many thumbs down when I said ';SURE! You can do it!';. I'm not even a great seamstress and someone bought my dress already (Tudor recreation) for $700.
On the whole though, I got a lot of terrific advice on Yahoo!Answers from do-it-yourself-for-less-money allowing me to stay in budget.
At my wedding, my first maid of honor didn't show up. The flowers weren't the flowers I asked for. My cousin didn't have music ready. Then, there was the part where my husband's cousin covered our car in butter, cheese, and hot dogs. That, of course, led to a shouting match and a near fist fight. Which led to my husband's grandmother refusing to be in any of our wedding pictures...I guess because she thought covering the car with butter was perfectly all right.

What is the best advice you have for College Life?
I'm attending The College of William %26amp; Mary in the fall, academically tough, but what advice do you give to survive academics and college life, such as planning, time management, and social aspects?What is the best advice you have for College Life?
Stay away from frats/sororities, college parties, alcohol, marijuana, meth, etc.
Do your f**king homework - if you are buried and need more time on a project, talk the teacher rather than just not turning it in - as long as you aren't just slacking, and are making an honest effort - they will usually understand (but don't take it for granted either).
Set your priorities - classes and homework trump all other social aspects of school - if people think you are a geek or a loser, then f**k them, what you do now has a lot to do with where you will end up later. College is supposed to prepare you for real life - most fail miserably because a young kid going directly into college from high school and suddenly not having any parental supervision is a recipe for disaster (there are obvious exceptions - but they are pretty rare).
If you try to skim by in college and do the bare minimum in college, real life will come along and kick you square in the
teeth.
Make sure you are ready to go to school - and to make it your #1 priority, some people are better off to take a year or two to get their priorities straight - go get a job someplace and it makes you much more aware of why it is important to get an education - you can't actually support a family (or even yourself) flipping burgers (though thousands and thousands of people try every day).
Good luck!!What is the best advice you have for College Life?
Thanks!
I've been pretty fortunate myself - I went to ITT and got a bachelors in electronics engineers. I actually ended up doing electrical engineering design work after years of doing various technical jobs. It's been a wild ride - and that piece of paper from ITT has made it all possible.

the freshman fifteen is easy to reach, so pace yourself eating. parties are okay, but partying too hard and getting wasted every night is not cool. its really annoying, and it gets old really fast. keep your school work above all else. if you are already a procrastinator, then you probably will be in college too. just make sure you get the work done, and go to as many classes as you can. above all else, be yourself, and be confident. don't be scared or nervous about your grades. just do your best, and know that your professors are really there to help you. you shouldn't have any problems getting adjusted after a while. good luck!!!
One thing I hear a lot is to be careful about social eating, or about the choices you're suddenly given. They call it the freshman fifteen for a reason--it's really easy to gain weight after starting college.
And time management--don't wait until the last minute for anything, especially not studying for exams. Cramming a whole night before an exam may actually make your grade worse because not only can your brain not remember things like that, but you won't have gotten any sleep, either.
don't party too much on weeknights....it'll be tough, but try to save it for the weekends. absolutely attend classes, or you'll fall behind. you'll have enough time to get your work done, depending on major and how many credits. just focus...you'll do fine! college is great!
yes you got them in the right order but social has to take a back seat to study EVERY TIME. and may often not make the cut

Where is the best place to turn to find good financial advice regarding my family's retirement?
I am 43 and my daughter is 4. I am starting late on saving for retirement and would like to set aside money for my daughter's education. I am considering hiring a CFA to set up some accounts to accomplish both these goals. Aside from liking the CFA's approach, I have little knowledge of his background and track record. Is there a good way to approach the situation and sift through the over abundance of funds and options available? I hope to retire in about 20 years and send my daughter to four years of college. Is there any hope of accomplishing these goals, with little set aside so far?Where is the best place to turn to find good financial advice regarding my family's retirement?
You can do what you want to. It'll just take a little more saving and savvy on your part. Your daughter can start at a community college. State schools are affordable and offer a fine education as well. Since I'm in your business anyway, it's a noble thought to want to provide for your daughter. But if she has to pay for all or some of her education herself she'll be a lot more appreciative of what it means to go to school. She can take out loans. If you want to be a good provider you can surprise her by helping her pay them off. Besides, nobody goes through four years of college in four years any more. It's probably a good thing to start and stop a couple of times. As far as retirement, the ';experts'; say you need over a million to retire comfortably. I know a lot of people who retired very nicely on a lot less. If you work until you're 67 you can get full social security benefits. (Yes, it will still be there) You can (and probably should) get a part-time job in retirement. The important thing is to get started. You'll be a lot better off than if you don't.Where is the best place to turn to find good financial advice regarding my family's retirement?
Try this website for advice: www.choosetosave.org.
For the CFA, ask for three references. Call them and ask them how he did for them. Also check if he's appropriately registered as a business and has some sort of credentials to give advice.
I also like Money Magazine and Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine.
Good luck!

What is the best advice for a job interview?
I have an upcoming interview for a local retail store and I was wondering what advice you guys had that could help me out a little. I'm a 20 year old college student just trying to get this part-time job. Thanks!What is the best advice for a job interview?
Dress for success. Do not wear sexy. Wear well groomed and clean. Matching shoes and purse. (if you are female) Look at what those working there are wearing. Dress somewhat accordingly but if they are wearing jeans, that is a bit too casual for an interview. Wear a nice pair of slacks. Female Stay away form flashy jewelry and dangling earrings. Minimal is best on jewelry. Make sure your footwear is up to date, not scuffed or over worn. Be sure your purse is clean inside and neat.
Male or female, what ever you do if you have tatoos cover them and do not wear piercings in your lips,nose or brow or more than one in your earlobes. Make sure your breath is fresh, but don't chew gum.Your nails should be clean and cut at a reasonable length. A female whould wear a very light non-emphasized polish. Don't wear more than one ring per hand! Easy does it on makeup, but wear some.
Explain that while you don't have an experienced work background, you are especially skilled in working with people, (and with fashion if its a clothing store) and as a college student your grades show that you are a quick study and intelligent as well as punctual and reliable.
Emphaize you enjoy the public, take orders well and follow directives as well as like being a team player. If you have other skills that are applicable to the job for which you are applying, emphasize those. Example: Being familiar with a cash register, credit card machine, sales and paper work.
Having played on a sports team (showing the team mentality). Show a sense of humor without sounding like you do nothing but joke or have a nervous laugh and chatter. One light area of wit will do during an interview. Be honest and flexible concerning work schedules. If they want you to work during a class that you can't alter, you need to say so, but if they want you to work on Friday night and it interferes with your social life, its better to alter the social life. Shake hands at the introduction and in closure and thank the person for the interview. Follow up with a quick thank you note to your interviewer for taking time in her/his busy schedule for you and state you look forward to further communication. This is a way of keeping you first and foremost in their memory and showing them that you are a proper and appreciative person.
Have in mind what are your weak points and strong points because usually you will be asked. Try to make those as average as possible. If your weak point is uncontrolled children screaming in the store then let your strong point be an ability to distract children from misbehavior. But be prepared to state how you do that. Never get away from basic honesty. That way you don't get caught unprepared.The best to you....I wish you successWhat is the best advice for a job interview?
As the old saying goes ';first impressions last';...so make a good first impression
*dress in neat, respectful clothing (preferably long pants with a collared shirt and closed in shoes)
*make sure you are well groomed (clean hands and nails, tidy hair, aftershave/deodorant but not overboard)
*act confident but not cocky
*shake hands upon greeting
*be prepared (e.g. any supporting documentation you require; have it ready)
*memorise some positive words to describe yourself and your work ethic so when you are asked a question you have some words ready to go to build a sentence around (e.g. hard working, motivated, dedicated etc...whatever words describe you)
*be aware of your posture in the interview (e.g. don't slouch or sit too casually/laid back)
*be honest...
-Look the interviewer in the eyes
-Answer with straight to the point answers
-Remain confident
-Dress professional (at least slacks and a button up shirt)
-Research the company/store so you know it
-Have questions prepared should they ask you
-Be ready to answer the typical interview questions
TIPS:
1. Be honest
2. Be confident
3. Show what you got.
