I was wondering what you thought of this story so far, please be honest, thanks!
The computer made a soft hum as Blaire typed away at the black keys. Today was Kin, so she had to send Kinmil to all of her friends. Her eyelids slowly drooped over her opaque eyes, begging for sleep; but she knew better than to listen to them. With effort, she opened her eyes back up, asking herself if she had activated it. She waited for a moment then heard the dreaded voice coming from the silver speaker above her, answering her question.
“Activation for H2O” the metal voice chimed as she tried to block herself with her lunch tray, but it was too late. The icy blow of water smacked her right in the face, numbing her cheeks momentarily. Finally it came to a cease and she looked to see what damage had been done. Her books were fine, the waterproof covers she bought at break time protected them from getting drenched in the water. Her metal table now had a small puddle on it, but that could be easily wiped away. She inspected her computer for a drop of water, grateful not to find any. With a sigh of relief, she quickly finished off her mils and pressed a silver button.
“Permission for camera to be turned off while I sleep?” she spoke into the speaker adjacent to the one on the ceiling . She waited for a moment, hopeful that her little “nap” wouldn’t have more severe consequences besides the spray of water.
“Permission not granted, camera will be off for ten minutes.” the metal voice chimed and she heard a quick bing, indicating the timer had started and camera was off. Quickly she tore off her clothes, then entered 345 into the glowing number pad next to the huge silver doors. They slowly slid open and she walked into the white bathroom. She turned the silver knob waiting for a familiar gurgle. At last she heard it, and the water gushed out into the tub. Blaire pushed down the silver knob and the gushing stopped, now the water sprayed from the colorless shower head. Briskly washed, then pulled the knob out, stopping the flow.
“Five minutes remaining.” Blaire heard from the speaker. She pulled her night clothes on in a hurry, then inspected herself in the mirror, looking for imperfections. She had none, her cream colored skin was flawless. Blaire grabbed a brush on top of the counter and briskly ran it through her long, dark honey hair. She cleaned up the room, then entered 543 into the glowing number pad beside her, opening the doors. Now that she was out of the steamy room, the cold air hit her unexpectedly; now reminding her that she forgot to turn the heater on. She immediately bolted under the dark blue comforter on her bed. Blaire let the warmth surround her as she fell into a dreamless sleep as she heard a bing, letting her know the camera was back on and the light was turned off.

Do you think I am viewed as overweight if I am 5'9" and 175 lbs? (also I have large bones). I know I am not obese but I am wondering if I come off as overweight during a first impression.

Background: I have a single member LLC (a web design company) that sold all assets last year and, to avoid a recent lawsuit, have used a business credit card (attached to the business EIN) to pay a settlement of $15k. I have no funds to pay this back to the bank. No revenue has been made within the last year and no future revenue will be made.

If my LLC declares bankruptcy...
1. how does this affect my personal credit or liability?
2. how does this affect my ability to own other future businesses>
3. will the business be audited by the government or by the lending bank?

I need to pay for the balance owed on my new car Monday but the money required, which I have, won't transfer into my checking account until a day or two after that. They only allow $3,000 to be put on credit cards and I was hoping to put at least $5,000 on them. I have the money to pay off the cards but thought it would be easier to do it this way so I didn't transfer the money from my other accounts sooner.

Don't people get it? It's like a car....you can be given a free car, but you can't drive it without a valid driver's license, current registration, gas, insurance, etc. Money money money. You can get a free dog, but you have to pay vet bills, food, toys, treats, emergencies, etc. Nothing about owning a dog translates to "free".

Why are people always asking for FREE dogs?

I am 23 years old, I don't have any knowledge of music and musical instruments.
I would like to learn more about music and musical instruments, but only as a way of relaxation. I am thinking about learning how to play the guitar, and possibly not get very much into complicated musical notions.
How can I learn to play a guitar (or what other instrument??? I don't know)?
What guitar should I buy: classical, electric, or acoustic? I want one of 100-150 $, and I want a new one, not from e-bay, because in my country we don't use e-bay.

Can you give me advice (good advice from people that know better than me maybe?...), or do you think I'm just nuts if I think about this thing?

Thank you!

If you were in a long term relationship, to the point where you had moved in together, and things started to go bad; at what point would you say enough?What would it take for you to decide to walk away and end it?There is no physical abuse, but dishonesty about important issues, and being emotionally shut out.Arguments have also become more common than communication.Do you give it one last try and try to work it out or do you leave and say thats it I'm done?How do you decide that it is unfixable?

From the class and respect shown from the crowd during God save the Queen,the passion and emotion in amhran na bhfiann I mean to see John Hayes and Jerry Flannery visibily crying was extremely poignant. The will and desire to win displayed by the Irish was outstanding,the icing on the cake was Horgans gaelic style try AND we even saw Eddie O'Sullivan smile!!!Historic.. a great day to be Irish.
