Resolved Question: What do you think of my short story? I got bored and wrote it, im in the 9th grade.?

When I recall some of the best times in my life, I often think about a little trip I took back in the summer of '04. If made into a movie, this story could be considered a drama, comedy, or even a romance tale, but most would consider it all three rolled into one. It came about suddenly and unexpectedly. My friend of many years, Bert, and his mother decided to join several of their friends at the last minute on a trip to their favorite vacation spot, Destin, Florida. I was then invited along by Bert as we did most everything together. Besides the planning that comes along with most vacations, it started out very typical. We loaded up the car on a Friday afternoon, and planned to leave the next morning, however, at 3 AM we all three, (Bert, myself, and Bert's mom), found ourselves wide awake and, figuring we wouldn't get much sleep anyway, decided to depart for Florida right then and there. After a quick stop at Hardee's to fulfill our late night munchies, we were on our way. To take up the time we decided to watch some movies on a portable DVD player we had brought along, which in theory was a good idea, but not in the backseat with Bert. He was quickly asleep and had taken up most of the room. I tried to keep my own space, but within 30 minutes he had sprawled out all over the backseat, including on top of me, and I couldn't stand it. I decided to move up to the front seat with Bert's mom, which wasn't so bad, except for the fact that for the next eight hours, of which about 3 of them I had the pleasure of sleeping, she forced me to listen to some of the worst music I have ever experienced in my entire life. I'm still not quite sure who it was singing, but a female country singer giving her rendition of famous Elvis songs has never sounded so bad. At about noon my ears were finally granted some relief when Bert awoke and commanded his mom to turn on some new music and stop torturing me. The next few hours were not so bad. I had good music, someone to talk to, and some nice ocean views. Even with all this, the time couldn't come soon enough for us to get out of the car and get our vacation started. Right around 3PM we finally rolled into the parking lot of our motel, The Ocean Moon Inn. I couldn't wait to get unpacked, get poolside, and get some tropical drinks in my hand...sure, I got all that, but I also got something I didn't bargain for. As I stepped out of the car the first thing I had to do was stretch, as it had been a very long and cramped ride. As I was doing so I gazed up to take in what would be my home for the next week, and as I swung my view from left to right, there she was, sitting with a group of friends on the staircase leading up to the second floor. We made eye contact for what seemed to be forever, and then she glanced away. My heart thumped, I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline, and then I quickly grabbed my bags and made my way down a hallway and out of sight to think about what had just happened. I wasn't sure if Bert had seen her or not, I was sure he noticed the loud group of mostly boys surrounding one or two girls, but I wasn't sure if he had really noticed the one that I had, or the way that she looked at me. The motel was a sort of "L" shape. It had two stories, and was quite small with only about 30 rooms. They all opened up to the pool which was in the center of the "L". It was an outdoor motel with no lobby, no indoor hallways, no convention rooms, as in you were either inside a bedroom, or you were outdoors. Bert followed me as we quickly made our way to room 205. We were familiar with its location as we had both stayed in it only a year before, along with Bert having stayed in it with his family for nearly the past 5 years. We opened the door and a cool breeze rushed us from inside the room. Bert unknowingly plopped down onto one of the beds, and rolled over as if to go to sleep. I stood there for a few moments and then blurted out, "Did you see that girl?" "What girl," said Bert, his voice muffled by the pillow his face was planted in. "The one at the top of the steps!" Bert rolled over, "Which one at the top of the steps...the dark haired one?" I nodded my head. "Yeah, what about her?" said Bert.” Did you think she was hot?" I didn't reply. I just stood there with a "DUH" look on my face. A few more seconds passed and finally Burt assured me, "She wasn't that great." Dismissing the idea entirely and rolling back over. For the next hour or two we relaxed, watched MTV, and ate Cheetos...correction, Bert relaxed, watched MTV, I also ate the Cheetos (and some Ho-Ho's), but I couldn't do anything but think about those few seconds that I made eye contact with the girl on the stairs and the feeling that she gave me, even though I didn't even know her. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, as Bert obviously didn't feel the same way as I did, but I couldn't get her out of my head. I wond more

Resolved Question: Redecorating Jane's bedroom?

We recently inherited a house on Nantucket after the death of my father-in-law and are beginning to redecorate in hopes of being able to live there this summer instead of in our Malibu house, which we wanted to re-do over this summer. We want the house to have a beachy, vacation feel because of it's location, but Jane is still young and we want her to enjoy her bedroom and have it as girly and luxurious as possible. After several consultations we bought the following sets and have yet to decide on one, these are our top choices: http://www.poshtots.com/Themes-for-Girls/Top-10-Themes-for-Girls/Flowers-Garden/Stephanie-Anne-Twin-Bedding/7/2452/1273/21086/PoshProductDetail.aspx http://www.poshtots.com/Designer-Rooms/Bedrooms-for-Girls/Tutti-Frutti/9/2399/2983/productlist.aspx http://www.keywesttravelguide.com/lilly-pulitzer-breakfast2.jpg more

Resolved Question: Which of these 6 jokes do you like best?

1) A blonde walked into the Bank of New York City and asked for the loan officer. She explained him that she's going to Europe on vacation for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The loan officer said the bank requires some sort of security for the loan. The blonde offered him the keys to a brand new Rolls Royce. The car was parked in front of the bank and the loan officer inspected it and it's registration. Everything was in order so the bank he accepted the car as collateral and gave the blonde $5,000. As she left, everyone in the bank started snickering at her for using a $250,000 car to secure a $5,000 loan. After the laughter died down, the loan officer got into the Rolls and parked it in the bank's underground parking lot. Two weeks later the blonde returned and paid back the loan as well as the interest, which was $15.41. As she handed over the money the loan officer said, "Miss, the bank was very happy to do business with you but we're a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked your credit standing and found out that you are a millionaire several times over. Why then would you bother to take out a loan for $5,000?" The blonde smiled and replied, "Where else in New York could I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I returned?" 2)Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double-pane energy efficient kind. But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work had been completed a whole year ago and I had yet to pay for them. Boy oh boy, did we go around! Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast-talking sales guy had told me....... that in one year the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and I haven't heard back. 3)One bright summer day an attractive young lady, very much the debutante, went up on the roof of her London hotel for some sun bathing. She laid down in a likely spot but noticed that in a few minutes the shadow of a neighboring building began to cover her legs. She sat up and looked around for a better location. Off to her right was a large flat area that couldn't be overlooked so she moved to it. She turned around slowly and noticed that no one was in sight. She smiled and proceeded to remove her bathing suit top, then her suit bottom, laid face down, draped a towel across her rump, and drifted off to sleep. Some time later she woke and opened her eyes to see a pair of brightly-polished shoes in front of her. She glanced up. An officious-looking man in formal attire stood at near attention, carefully avoiding looking down at her. "Madam," he said stiffly. "I am afraid you cannot sun bath here." "But why not?" she asked. "I'm up here all by myself and I'm not bothering anyone." The man cleared his throat uncomfortably, "Madam, you are sunbathing on the glass roof of the restaurant." 4)A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife as she turned back and forth, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she'd like to have. "I'd like to be six again," she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her birthday, he rose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. He dragged her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster ... everything there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal, with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto bed. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well, Dear, what was it like being six again?" As she opened her red eyes her expression suddenly soured. "I meant my dress size, you maniac!" The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's going to get it wrong. 5)An Irishman late for an important meeting is frantically driving through town looking for a parking spot. Finally in desperation he leans out of the window and looks to the heavens. "Lord," he yells. "If you'll just make a parking spot appear I promise to go to mass every week for the rest of my life and give up Irish whiskey. Suddenly he spots a parking spot just ahead of him. He leans back out of the window. "Never mind, I found one myself." 6)A large flywheel company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he decided it was time to let everyone know that hestar if you like!sorry about joke 6 the whole joke is: A large flywheel company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he decided it was time to let everyone know that he meant business. The new CEO walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, "How much money do you make a week?" A little surprised, the young fellow looked at him and replied, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?" The CEO then handed the guy $1,200 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks' severance pay, now get out and don't come back." Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?" From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's." more

Resolved Question: summer homework physics problem?

This is dumb, but I can't figure it out. Please help! Tiger Woods, practicing golf on vacation, hits a golf ball off of the top of his hotel (35 m above ground level) with a velocity of 130 miles per hour. The golf ball is initially moving upward at a 42 degree angle (from horizontal). a. Calculate the location where the golf ball lands. b. Calculate the time of flight. c. Calculate the maximum height reached by the ball. d. Calculate the height of the ball two-thirds of the way to the landing spot (2/3 of the horizontal displacement, not 2/3 of the time of flight). Sorry for the ridiculous question, but this is part of my summer homework and I can't even figure out how to set up this problem. If anyone can help me with any of the parts, thank you SO much!! more

Resolved Question: how can i put my guest in her place?

a friend is staying with me for the summer at my family's vacation home, & she makes me feel like the guest! she makes rules, goes to bed early every night & tells me & my friends we have to be really quiet. she leaves the shower drain hair on my razor everyday but gets pissed if i'm messy. she wouldn't pay me for groceries & i was going broke so i said we should buy our own food. she agreed but she still eats mine. she has a tantrum when it's her turn to drive, i never know when i wake up if she'll be over-the-top happy or a cold b****. she never wants to hang out with me anymore, & though i include her in what i do, she doesn't invite me when she goes out. when she does make plans with me, she breaks them or stands me up. she's living in a very desirable location for free, my parents & i pay for internet, tv, phone, electricity, etc. everyone who's ever stayed here pays rent or at least offers but she just expects more. I TALK TO HER ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING CHANGES. what can i do???**this may change things a little** i told her i'd be there for all of june and july, and she was welcome to stay with me. a couple weeks ago she said she couldn't believe i was leaving her so soon, she was staying until the end of august! what??? i stammered then let it go... i don't know if it's worth making trouble based on principle because i'll only be here for two more weeks. should i kick her out so i can have some peace (and know she won't be in my house when i'm gone) or should i just stick it out? i don't want to make her lose her job- she'd have to move back home- but i can't deal with this. more

Resolved Question: about getting into colleges....?

I'm a high school student in Texas. I have a 4.2 GPA out of 5.0. But, because my school is so competitive, i'm in top 30%. I only have jointed few clubs. Also I got 1600s New SAT score. I want to be an engineer and am searching for colleges that are known for that. But, I prefer to go to University of Texas because it's located near my home. But, if there is a college that I really fit in, location won't really matter. I'm a junior now and having a summer vacation. How can I prepare for collleges and what to do now? more
