I am a young student (over the age of 18) who is looking to get a credit card with a low limit, just to start building up a credit rating. everywehere i apply, i get denied becasue they cannot verify my credit rating. its like im in a paradox, HELP!!!
I had this happen to me. I'd suggest joining a credit union and getting a card through them. You could also try getting a store credit card (like Dillard's, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Macy's) or a gas card and pay them off IN FULL every month. After about 6 months (though I'd give an extra 2-3 months at least to make sure the cards are reporting), you'll have a FICO score.

Answer to:
Would having three credit cards, but only using one of them, help or hinder my credit score? I use one and continually pay it off as I use it, but the other two carry balances of $0.00.
You may want to make small charges on the other two cards and pay the balance in full by the due date. This will ensure that all three cards are active and helping to build your credit history.
Some credit card companies will either shut down your inactive credit cards or will charge you a fee because you haven't been charging (but many will "reverse" this fee if you buy...

Do you think we are heading towards an economic Depression?
I think that the US is headed towards more inflation, but foreigners will probably view the country as being "on sale" and increase shopping-related tourism, thus increasing retail sales.

If you're looking at a demo to send out, you could just burn them on a home computer and print a top layer onto the CD. (There are printers out there that will print directly onto the tops of CDs as well as other mediums, but they may be out of your budget.)

Almost all sites that charge you upfront are scams. I'd suggest looking for data entry jobs locally. You may need to prove yourself in the company itself for a little while before working at home if you don't have a strong enough résumé.
You could also try listing unused items on eBay, though it can be a bit of a hassle and will require a little money for the listing....

Answer to:
Can I get a checking account at 15 though a credit union?
It's possible but highly unlikely unless you have a parent or other credit union member who's over 18 as a joint account holder with you.
If something goes wrong, they will generally hold the non-minor accountable since one must be the age of majority (18 in almost all cases) to enter into an enforceable contract. (You agree to pay any overdraft charges, say.)
Answer to:
How can i get a small $2,000 loan, i have no credit or a checkings account, but my husband does and hes in the millitary. any suggestions?
You both may want to look at USAA. They do banking as well as insurance and are rated #1 in customer service in just about everything they do by Consumer Reports, Forbes, and other magazines. It's easier to get a loan through them if you've been a member for a while, but I'm pretty sure they'd still consider you.

I am applying for my dba in New York State to start a business selling craft items. Do I need to charge sales tax on the items I sell?
I'm not sure about the specifics of New York, but in general if you don't charge the customer, you'll be the one who ends up paying the sales taxes. You will probably only be required to charge tax on the sales you made physically within the state or shipped to New York residents. You may want to contact your county's business licensing department to ask. Best of luck!

If you plan to be serious about this (as it seems you want to be), you'd only need the DBA if you plan to set up a business name. You could be a sole proprietor, in which case you would not need a separate tax id number.

Yep, I even tell people about it. The reason it's the only site that's actually FREE is that it was set up as part of the FACT Act, which was the federal law that allows consumers access to their credit report.

You can ask for your credit card issuer to reduce your interest rate (APR) and if you've been paying in full and on time, they should be willing to work with you.
I managed to reduce my interest from 12.15% to 10%. I now have 7.75% because the prime rate is no longer being offered. (I'll ask again if rates go up.)

When refinancing a mortgage,Is 10,000 a high cost to pay a lender.
Yes. You may want to look at the "no cost refi" ads they have on television. I know it can easily cost $1,000 - $2,000, but you should look around. Bankrate.com should be of assistance or perhaps you could look to LendingTree for offers? At that rate, you may be working with a strictly subprime lender. I'd be wary.

Do stringed instruments (violin, cello, etc) hold their value with time or do they depreciate? I don't mean antiques, just good quality hand made instruments?
They generally increase in value, especially if they were hand-crafted outside of a mass-production Chinese, Italian, or German factory. ESPECIALLY if they are well-played. The longer they're played and the older they are, the better the instruments tend to sound.

It depends on what you define as "cheating". All of it makes me cringe, but I don't think I'd mind if my partner kissed or caressed a guy. I'd prefer he do it in my presence, though. (Wow, that makes me feel like such a perv!)

What is the best credit card for a new college grad with only student loans as credit history? (ie - no credit history)
If you have the option, I'd suggest going to a credit union as your first option. If you don't have access to a credit union, you may want to try for an unsecured card from a bank you have a relationship (checking, savings, etc.) with.
Make timely payments and try to pay in full if you can so that you don't get stuck paying 18-21% interest. You'll probably start with a...

Does anyone know of any "hard lenders" who would loan US$100,000 to support a business plan overseas. It's for a multispecialty health clinic. Been search for months.
With that sort of exchange rate, lenders may be hesitant to let you borrow. A rented doctor's office is good, though. Depending on which specialties are offered, it may be inelastic demand. Are there doctors ready to work in the clinic you'd like to open? Write these details and others in a business plan and submit it to potential lenders.

STUDENT LOANS ARE NOT BANKRUPTABLE. Contact your lender(s) and ask to be put on hardship deferral.

Answer to:
What does the hand-soap in your bathroom smell of?
Under the sink: plumeria, Moonlight Path (Bath & Body Works), Tone (I don't know how to describe the scent), fresia, coconut lime verbina, raspberry, vanilla, etc. I tend to wait until the semi-annual sale at Bath & Body Works and buy, like, $20 of glycerin soap bars at a time when they're on sale for $1 each. :P
I also have some milk protein & honey liquid soap.

"Fresh Linen" is awesome as well as "Cotton Blossom"... they're both light, clean smells.

What can I do with leftover bars of soap that are to small to wash with anymore?
Make liquid soap. Put the sliver and some water into a pump, let sit for a week or so, stir it a bit, and pump. Some brands are easier to use than others. It's also easier if you cut or grate the soap into flakes because of the increased surface area.
I usually just lather them onto a rag to finish them off, though.

I'm not sure, but it'd have to be enough that it's worth my time. There are people who pay to read her (i.e. those who buy her book), but I'm not one of them. ESPECIALLY if she writes in the same style as her blog postings. (It's like trying to read a 12-year-old's "text speak"!)

How much would you be willing to pay for a robot (like Rosie in The Jetsons)?
Very little. I view some housework as physical exercise (take THAT calories!) and would rather have human contact and companionship outside of the internet. (Which is human-based, but there's a difference between writing words on a screen and interacting in real time with voice and vision and such.)
Also, I'm on a rather tight budget. :P

If i file bankruptcy will i lose my house
It depends on many factors. Texas, for example, has strong homestead laws that protect people's homes. Are you including your house in the bankruptcy?
Typically, I'd advise bankruptcy only as an extreme last resort. Be aware that student loans are NOT bankruptable and that most credit cards and hospitals (medical bills) are willing to take a settlement or a payment plan.

I should add that I'm looking for fuel economy over appearance at this point. Both get very good gas mileage (28/36 on the ECHO, 26/36 on the Corolla from 2008 EPA standards).

Can they numb u when they pierce ur labret so u wont feel it that much?
They can put on topical numbing agents if they can manage to get a prescription for you to get it, but the pain is part of the piercing process. It's a quick pain and not too bad. Most people who pass out either had low blood sugar or psyched themselves out. Eat before going in for the piercing. It really isn't all that bad. The numb feeling is worse than the piercing.

I don't know how horrible your horrible credit is, but you may want to try Prosper.com
I've never used the site, but I've heard it highly recommended by others who invest and borrow there.

What's wrong here is that you went to Bank of America.

Knowing nothing about the particular lenses themselves and just reading the titles, I'd go with the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS because:
* The focal length allows you to take images closer up, which could help you with some nature shots and other uses.

The police officer you spoke with obviously doesn't have an understanding of the psychology of a victim, especially with domestic violence and/or sexual abuse.

Are wolves friendly or just diabolical?
Wolves tend to keep to themselves. Those that come up to people are either pups, used to people, or are sick (possibly rabid). Wolves at play can be sooo cute! I wouldn't trust an adult coming up to me, though.

Answer to:
If someone refers to 'partying' does that always mean getting drunk?
No. Some people (mostly prostitutes) use the term as a euphemism for sexual acts/scenes. Teens tend to refer to getting drunk as partying, though there may be drug use as well. There are some sober parties, but some don't consider them to be fun. When I was in highschool, there were plenty of social get-togethers, but without any alcohol involved.

You are probably upside down on your loan, but it will be even worse if it is repossessed.

Some people are into this sort of thing, but I think that most have a bestiality fascination because it is so repulsive to people.

This is part of why "typical use" of condoms has a 15% failure rate. People don't use them correctly!
As for pregnancy, there are factors such as how regular your periods are (and thus ovulation), if there was pre-ejaculate, if there were active sperm present in said pre-ejaculate, etc.

It's unlikely, but possible. It's more probable that you'll have STD transmission if your partner's infected.

Can i find data entry jobs.
but working from home.
sites?
There are sometimes opportunities in the local paper in the classifieds section. Just make sure that you're not going through a middleman agency as those can be scams. Temp agencies are not the same as some of these "placement services" and tend to be legitimate.
Answer to:
What are some of the best ways to earn extra money working from home? And I don't want to have to pay for a membership or some stupid manual that will only provide me with a list of some sort. I also don't have much money to start my own business.
You can start a business from home on little money, but you would have to start small. You could sell handcrafted items on eBay or etsy.com
You could also try babysitting kids if that's your thing, but make sure that you have homeowner's insurance to help cover possible liability.

Answer to:
I got a call from a bank saying that someone used my SS# to apply for credit. I called Equifax, Experian and Transunion to report credit fraud. What else should I do?
You would only need to call one to file a fraud alert on your credit reports. The one will notify the other two. I would file a police report and, if thoroughly paranoid, freeze my credit report. It does cost money to "freeze" and "thaw" credit reports, but it may very well be worth it. Sorry to hear this and best of luck.
Answer to:
Does anyone know where i can get a credit card with no fees and no credit checks?
ALL credit cards and most debit cards (all that I know of anyway) will run credit checks. Even if you're getting a secured credit card (which would charge a fee) requires a credit check. There are plenty of cards out there for people with bad credit (even bankruptcy), and there are a few with no fees. You may want to check with Capital One, but they do run a credit check.

Answer to:
I got a credit score of 971 from experian. how is that possible, if 900 is the highest score you can get?
You received a VantageScore, not a FICO score. 990 is the highest VantageScore possible, whereas 850 is the highest FICO score. (A VantageScore ranges from 501-990. FICO scores range from 300-850.) Your VantageScore would most likely translate to a very high FICO score. Good job!

My credit stinks (credit score from Equifax is 580) I had a bankruptcy discharged about 10 years ago and a foreclosure about 6 years ago. Can I get a mortage loan? Should I get a mortage loan?
You may be a candidate for subprime lending. You'll pay a higher interest rate and the criteria is getting tougher to be approved.
I'd suggest doing what you can to improve your FICO score. Learn about how credit scoring works and see if you can get help from the government through HUD. Best of luck!

They typically can, but the interest may be sky high. You're better off establishing credit first and then getting a loan. A dealership will give you the interest rate of someone with horrible credit because that's what they expect you'll have. (You don't even have a credit score, after all.)

(US) Do the credit bureaus know how old I am? Do they have easy access to this information?
Your name, address, social security number, employer, and telephone number are listed on your credit report. They get this information from those who submit inquiries into your credit report or who post information to the credit bureaus.
Answer to:
Do you know your credit rating? How do you think this affects you?
I don't know my FICO score, but I'd imagine it's decent. The only thing that's really holding me back is that I've only had a credit card for 2 years. I do, however, have a 5-figure credit limit, so that's helped me out with utilization. My credit score has helped me lower my interest rate, too, though I've never paid a penny of interest. :)

It depends on the person behind the credit card. For me, they're a convenience and help me make more money (through cashback and a float on my money, which is making interest in a high-yield savings account). For others, they've been a source of great distress, helping push some to suicide.

No, I'd say that payday loans/check advance places, as well as CashCall and the like have taken that role.

A question for dog lovers: if a rabid opossum drinks from your dogs water bowl, will your dog contract rabies? any veterinarians out there?
A rabid animal would be drinking from a water bowl? They tend to have trouble swallowing and will sometimes freak out if they see liquids. I think that's why they used to call rabies "hydrophobia".
I would make sure that your dog was up-to-date on shots and might observe it for a while for odd behavior.
Are you sure that the opossum was rabid?

Keep ignoring him. Don't even pay attention to him. It'll become an "extinct" urge after a while. Some dogs have a one-track mind, though, and it may take a while. Just stick with it, or you'll have a new (unwanted) buddy.

How do they make the round toothpicks?
This answer was posed to a 7-year-old at http://www.sdreader.com/php/ma_show.php?id=39 but I don't know how accurate it is.
They make toothpicks out of birch trees. They cut down a tree, take off the bark, and saw the tree into logs. If you stretch both your arms out real wide, that's about how long each log is. Then they use a big machine with a very sharp blade to peel the logs...

One phone company charge me $55 instead of $5 and that made my checking go negative, I got charged an overdraft fee, when phone co. refunded my money back, the bank refunded the overdraft fee, will that affect my credit history& lower my FICO score? How?
Debit cards/checking accounts aren't forms of credit, so this won't affect your FICO score.
You may not even have a FICO score if you haven't had credit in the past, though you may have a credit report if someone (such as a bank or employer) has run a credit check on you.

Has anyone tried and been successful using hoodia capsules
I haven't, but most of the hoodia pills that are being sold are not the variety (hoodia gordonii) that has been researched. Pfizer isolated the component and has since released the rights to the primary ingredient. Hoodia gordonii is a "protected plant" (only a few people have access to it).
There are nasty side effects and it's far from FDA approval. I'd avoid it.

Because they see the way that HMOs, ERs, and the DMV are handled and are (logically) afraid that health needs will be denied or there will be such a long wait that their problem may have run its course by the time they can get an appointment.
In the ER, you have people with broken bones sitting next to hypervigilant (but well-meaning) parents whose kids only have the sniffles.

Answer to:
I heard that salvia is completely legal in the US and if I do salvia can I pass the drug test?
The legality depends on the state. Louisiana, Tennessee, and a few other states ban it. Salvia divinorum does not contain THC, so it wouldn't show up on a drug test for marijuana. Salvia can be tested for, but it isn't common at this point and is still legal in many states.

I was fingering my girlfriend when I had sperm on my finger. She got her period the next day but is it still possible for her to get pregnant?
It's unlikely, especially of she's older and has had regular periods for a long while, but if you had seminal fluid on your fingers, there's still a risk. WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING? You're not only putting her at risk for pregnancy, you're putting her at risk for STDs.

What is Salvia? Have you ever tried it? What does it do?
Salvia divinorum ("sage of the seers") is commonly just referred to as "salvia" and is an entheogenic (sacred) plant in the sage family that has hallucinogenic properties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum gives a fairly wordy educational overview.

If he comes back to you later, he isn't really through with you. It sounds like you two need to either break up or to work on the relationship. I was in a relationship where we'd get at each other's throat but we always seemed to get back together. It isn't healthy and can sometimes border on codependency in couples.

It's worse to miss a pill at the beginning or end of the month. It wouldn't be too terribly high, though. You may want to use condoms for a week or so and consider switching to another method of birth control if this concerns you. NuvaRing is a "set it and forget it" method you could use each month. If it's just a one-time slip-up, you should be fine staying on the pill.

Prostitution is legal in many counties in Nevada as well as Rhode Island. Sex workers tend to have stories to tell and it can be an emotionally draining "career" but there are also sexual surrogates who are well-respected as being...

Do you go to the gym a lot?
I don't, but I have gym-quality equipment in my home that I'll use when the mood strikes. I liked the gyms at Duke, but I didn't like the chain gym I switched to afterwards. I didn't like the crowds/lines for machines or the huge glass window at the front (I guess because many of the muscular guys wanted to be seen.)

Ideal weight/BMI is intended as a guideline. Bodybuilders have higher BMIs than do "normal people" because of their muscle mass. A better measure of health would be body fat percentage. You should be fine. Ask a doctor or nurse the next time you go in for a physical or other visit if you're concerned. :)

Who thinks this is a funny name for a porno? Laura Croft, Womb Raider.
The concept's good, but "womb" tends to turn a lot of guys off. The thought of pregnancy (unless it's niche porn) makes most guys cringe. (It's most guys' worst nightmare, right up there with HIV/AIDS.)

Answer to:
How long after getting a tat do you have to wait to give blood? Do you have to know your blood type or will they find out?
It depends on the tattoo parlor. Some have been inspected for health standards and you can donate blood once the tattoo is healed. All shops should have an autoclave and use fresh needles, but in case they don't, the Red Cross and other places are looking out for the best interest of those they're trying to help.
Answer to:
Do you know your own blood type?
Nope. I tried to donate, but I was too anemic. We tried taking the test (I just had to have one reading high enough), but my body wasn't cooperating.

How successful would a new deli in New Delhi be?
I LOL'd! (Seriously, though, there are a lot of vegetarians in India, and many Hindus -- no beef, and some Muslims -- no pork). What's a deli without a corned beef on rye? :P

Answer to:
In Nashville, a recent survey showed an 85% public's satisfaction with the metro police. Is this the national average?
I have a feeling that it's lower in most cities, but I can't say for certain.
Answer to:
When the PAL calls you for a donation, how do you react?
I politely refuse donations. I do charity by giving my time. I'm out of work at this point, so I'm of limited financial means. (I have savings, but they're for emergencies.) Sometimes I feel cheap, but if I said yes to one charity I'd have many more lining up. My ex used to give to the ACLU, NRA, Amnesty International, and many other organizations. Go figure, right? (He was...

Answer to:
What do you think of men that get manicures+pedicures?
The ones I've known have generally been stuck up or thought of as gay. Manicures I can understand, but pedicures are a bit much for most men. I think that good nails can be sexy on some men, but it depends on the man.

Answer to:
If Julius Ceasar met Vercingétorix in single combat at the battle of Alesia in 52 BC, who would have won?
Rome, of course! Why else would poor Latin II students have to translate "The Gaelic Wars" if he didn't know what he was doing? (It's been 7 years, you'll have to forgive me...)
Boudica seemed kindda cool, though, even if she was unsuccessful.

Answer to:
Ladies, how many of your are plus-size and wear thongs? I think it is stereotypical thinking that sees it only right that skinny women can "pull off" wearing them.
I don't tend to wear underwear/panties or a bra, but I've worn bikini briefs in the past and something dangerously close to a thong. I'm not the sort of person to flash a peek of what's underneath my clothes, though. More power to women who dare to bare, though!

Answer to:
How many of you women can suck your own breasts?
I can, but it results in a tad bit of neck strain. I think I'm a D-cup, but I'm not sure. I stopped wearing bras going on 3 years ago. I've never known of a woman who could suck her own clitoris, though. (Perhaps I should work on my yoga some more?) :P

Answer to:
Do Latin Americans find it unfair that people from the US took the work American?
Considering that the continents were named after the mapmaker and the US was originally the United States, they shouldn't be offended.

Answer to:
Do you remeber when people used to beatbox? (making the sounds of a beat using their mouth)
Yes. Some in a cappella groups still do this. I've seen people do this when freestyle rapping in groups as well.

Answer to:
Can you die from schizophenia without killing youself?
It doesn't cause deterioration of the brain like Alzheimer's Disease eventually will. Your perception may be skewed to the point where you kill yourself unintentionally, but that could also happen from alcohol use or even bipolar disorder.

Answer to:
Have you ever lived alone with someone who has bipolar and is it healthy to do?
I lived with my then-fiance and his father for nearly two years. He had other issues as well (borderline personality disorder, mainly). I have a friend who's engaged to a bipolar chick and they're living together in an apartment and are doing fairly well emotionally. It depends more on the person than the personality. It can be stressful, depending on how quickly they cycle.

Answer to:
Can a person with bipolar disorder be a single parent
I've known multiple women who were bipolar and single parents. I didn't care for their parenting ability, but it had to do with them as people, not their emotional disorder.

Answer to:
Is it unusual for two sisters aged 16 and 15 to still be bathing/showering together, sleeping together in the same bed, and sharing the same clothing?
In most of Western society, yes. There are parts of the world where parents sleep with (not sexually!) their children until they leave the home.
