My fiancee lost his job after being off work for 4 weeks due to an automobile accident. I'm worried he's not going to find a job before his unemployment benefits run out. I'm scared and I really don't know how to help him anymore.

Hi everybody. I am a 19 year old female, and just recently got a great job @ a laboratory where they have full benefits. I currently have BCBS TX health insurance (the high plan) and I am wanting to look into having a breast reduction really soon. I am currently a 40D and have somewhat of a "hunchback" going on. I constantly find myself slouching and when I try to straighten my back up, I only do it for a second or two because the weight ends up making me slouch again. I really don't want to have back problems the older I get, but I'm afraid if I don't do something about it, then I will by the time I am 25 or so. I also have pretty obvious stretch marks on the sides of my breast from the weight. Does anyone know or have any info on how I go about having this done? Thank so much!!

I currently work at McDonalds and today made my 5th or 6th day working. I was at the front counter today taking order's and toward the end of my shift, I'm responsible for restocking the counter so that the next shift would have enough condiments and what not. So as I was doing this, my manager was on my register taking an order. The 2 customers (a man and woman) ordered a meal that included a drink and 2 snack wraps that doesn't include a drink (which they wrongly assumed;especially the man). So I come back from the stock room and he asks me for his "2" medium cups, but his reciept only said he purchased 1 medium drink. I didn't take the order, so I assumed my manager didn't put in their second drink. I asked, "Did you order a second drink with your meal?" Then he asks, "The big question here is, why do you give a damn?" I ignored the uncalled for comment and tried to explain that the drink that was ordered was in his hand which came with the meal...

I am a full time college student and I also work for my school's transit system. When I first got hired and filled out my tax information I may have done so incorrectly. I may have placed a 1 in the area where it asks about dependents, I don't have any. I believe that because of this there are not a lot of taxes being taken out of my paychecks. For instance, I received a check once for about a gross pay of $602 and about $6 of federal and $16 for state taxes were taken out. I redid my tax information and requested that an additional $5 be taken out of federal and state each. And when I redid it, I put a zero in the area for the dependents. But, the amount of taxes being taken out is still not what I think it should be. No more than about $40 for each check. I don't make that much, my gross a year would probably be about $11,000. Will I have to pay the IRS during tax season because of this tax situation? How do I fix this???

I'm 15, and I'm starting Driver's Ed in a few weeks. Before going in to the class, I was just curious - is there a test for getting your permit? After you get it, what's required before you apply for a license on your 17th birthday?

Thank you so much :]

In an 8 week time period, I incorrectly transcribed a phone number 3 times. Each time it happened, my boss pointed it out and asked, "why can't you get it right?" Each time, I apologized, corrected the number, and said that I would try my best to get the numbers right. On average, he gets about 50 calls per day and I handwrite the messages on a phone log for myself and a phone long for him. On the three occasions, I incorrectly copied the number from my book to his book. I really try my best to be perfect. Today, he said "I am so tired of this!" Not sure what to do? The errors are not deliberate. Any advice?

I really really really need help with this problem .

3 friends went to a hotel . When they got there they found out that the room was 30$$ So they each paid 10 bucks. when they are already in there room the manager figures out that the room was really only 25$$ so he sends the BusBoy up to give them there bucks back . While the busBoy was on his way he noticed that It was 5$$ and he remembers that there were only three people so to make things easyer he took 2 of the 5 dollars and give the friends one dollar each. So all three of them ended up paying 9 dallors each .

The question is " What happened to the remaining dollar?"

And please poeple be seirous.
