Question #1:
I need a new hobby while I am quitting smoking and dieting......?
Currently I spend most of my time on ebay buying dolls for my collection. But for the next 3 months there is no money for that. I am also on a diet so there is to be no munching out. Add to that the fact that I am quitting smoking.Before this I did not watch television but I did add that already and it has helped. I can knit but find it tedious and I draw well but am only really interested in portrait and have no models.
I can sew doll clothes and that is one alternative but I need other things to do as well.
Can you suggest something? I have heard about farmville. Do you have to buy it?
Anything you can suggest will help. Thanks.
Question #2:
Which do you prefer, heavy metal or 90s grunge/alternative?
I'd like to get some friends together to start a band, but I can't decide what music we should cover (and what genre I should eventually start writing lyrics for). Which do you prefer, heavy metal (more so the hard rock-influenced stuff, like new Metallica or Avenged Sevenfold) or music from the 90s grunge and alternative movement?Question #3:
Is there a VMware Alternative?
Is there an alternative to VMware that is safe and free?Question #4:
What are some alternatives to dancing at a wedding reception?
I have a limited budget for my wedding and we are renting out a friends restaurant for the evening. The problem is they can't and won't allow a dance floor. I even knew a DJ that could have helped.... what are some alternative ideas for entertainment? Remember...limited budget.BTW...the reason for the "No dance floor" policy isn't the noise. They have tried it in the past and it "just didn't work" and apparently the building is getting old or something. I can play music over their speaker system hopefully...
Question #5:
Is the dbf file format the same as ascii file format?
I need to export data from SQL to dbf, there is hardly any support from the web. I guess the best alternative is to export to Excel file than to Ascii , and hopefully the result in Ascii can be read as a dbf. Any better ways. ThanksQuestion #6:
Sick of school. Not sure what i should do?
I hate school and im not saying this like every other kid does i hate being there it seriously sucks beyond belief.My guidance counselor offered my an alternative school program but my dad doesn't want me to switch from public, im not sure why but he said no. im 18 so its up to me not him but he is the only person in my family i have any respect for.
So what would you do? Ignore your dad and switch or stay in public school and hate every second of it.
Yeah sorry im in high school its my last year and with or without alternative i'll still graduate at the same time
Question #7:
Are immigration progams like 287g good or is there a better alternative?
what would that alternative be?Immigration and Nationality Act Section 287(g)
Section 287(g) authorizes the Federal Government to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting designated officers to perform immigration law enforcement functions, pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), provided that the local law enforcement officers receive appropriate training and function under the supervision of sworn U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Question #8:
What comes to mind when I say....?

what kind of motorcycle should I get?
when I have some extra money i'm considering getting a bike as an alternative, fuel efficient form of transportation. i'm not into crotch rockets or mopeds. what's a good bike for a beginner?something I can take on country highways and low traffic streets. luggage isn't important. if it can't fit in my backpack i still have a car.
Question #10:
What are some cheaper alternatives to sending my cracked macbook screen to apple?
I heard apple wants $500 to fix a cracked macbook screen, and my laptop is barely worth $1200, and is almost 2 years old. I really don't think it's even worth spending $500, especially because the crack is not even that bad at all. Are there any cheaper alternatives?Question #11:
Can anyone respond to this guy?
Here is quote from someone that does support god, and claims the universe and life can't be organised unless there is a divine force like god"i choose to believe that there is a force organizing this universe, because the alternative is very dry and depraved. some people see the intricate works of physics, chemistry and biology, and they say it is all coincidence. maybe; but i perceive it differently, even if i pretend to agree that mass came spontaneously out of the blue, can you imagine what an orchestra of particles is playing within and around us, and the degree of harmony it requires for things to be the way they are today, let alone for intelligent life to take roots?
u think it just happens that zillion of quarks and particles met by pure luck to form billions of atoms, and those also met by mistake to form molecules, and those met by pure luck to form live cells, and those met by mistake to form intelligent life?
it is easier tossing zillions of scrabble letters at random, and they fall down in billions of stacks, each stack representing a complete book, and these books form a continuous series and entertaining story that starts from stack 1 to stack xxxx billion.
personally, the deeper i go into science, the more i believe in the divine. "

Question #20:
Can I get into college? No extra curriculars, subpar grades?
As a senior, the application process has already been initiated but I am lost and don't know where to start. Quite frankly I don't feel ready for college. I am still 16 and most of my peers are beginning their Junior years.Throughout high school I have maintained decent academics but external pressures have kept me from being involved in the community. Not to sound like a sob story, but I had to deal with alot of crap. My parents divorced in 9th grade; and as a result I was transplanted half way across the country to Texas. With no friends for the majority of my freshman year I kept mostly to my self. As the year progressed I became good friends with two people who would later change for the worst. During sophomore year my two best friends turned to drugs and alcohol and I was caught in the middle of it. Before you judge me, I never smoked or did any drug, but I was involved heavily with people that did. My best friend was busted for selling extascy and had to spend two years in an alternative school and the other just dropped of the face of the earth. I exerted my best effort to help them but nothing I did ended up working. Professional intervention was the only thing that could help. That aside, I also spent that year living under the wing of an abusive boyfriend who espoused my mom. Fast forward to junior year and I started to branch out and become more sociable. In October I was diagnosed with mono and spent 19 days out of school, jeopardizing my grades and was on the verge of repeating junior year due to attendance. Once I got better it was too late as clubs where established and I was extremely tired following school. Now that I am better, I intend to make the best of my senior year. I plan to join BPA and another volunteering club to help boost my extra curriculars for college, but I fear it is to late. Applications are already starting and I am in between a rock and a hard place.
If you were in my situation, what would you do? I can give you a list of colleges I want to apply to and my "stats" for analysis. Do I have any chance of attending these universities or is my future ruined?
