Can you please tell me what is the metaphor on this statment???Thank you?

WHEN Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old man-servant -- a combined gardener and cook -- had seen in at least ten years.

Obama Supporters: Without Bashing President Bush, can you articulate Obama's economical plan?

Pssst You are wasting your time. These people see nothing wrong with stealing money from hard working people at gunpoint and giving it to them. They really believe if you tax a corporation, they won't add it back onto the price and the public will pay for it. They don't understand taxing corporations will making it more appealing to move out of the country and take the jobs. They think poor people provide jobs, and create wealth, unlike wealthy people. And best of all, they believe there is a difference between taxpayer money, and government money. Good luck

Getting a Networking job out of High School??

I'm taking a networking cl at my private school and I am a senior graduating in 4 months. I heard my teacher say that this cl is college level Cisco Networking.....so my question is-can I get an entry level networking job straight out of high school after getting a good grade in this cl? Or would most employers require college training or network+ certification??

I ordered a package from India and when I checked it on USPS, this is what it said...?

Cool down, everything is fine. All packages from overseas go through customs...and may or may not be checked. Takes a couple of days, then they are back on their way. You do not need to go there or give permission for anything. This is not an unusual occurance...it is standard. This is the same in all countries. When the company you ordered from said how long it takes to arrive, they include travel time and customs time in ther time estimate.

Are they really that bad?

OK, so the other day I went to the dentist, I had to teeth pulled, and it hurt, and also i found out i needed braces. When I was little, i ALWAYS wanted them, but now, I am totally freaking out. I only need to get top braces until my canines (which were pulled) come in fully, along w/ the braces I need a banding, i only need the braces for a year. To make a long story short, are braces really that bad, and what is a banding? Thank you for your cooperation!

Female + Male Club, bar, lounge employees please respond?

My husband and his family own a bar. The Girls that work as tail waitress make minimum wage plus tips. On a busy weekend night the girls can pull in a few hundred dollars. The Bartenders definitely do more but they pour all drinks for the bar plus the waitress tickets. Some places make you pool your tips with the bartenders or bus boys and cooks so be aware of that. the cheaper the drinks in the bar the cheaper the customers will be. If your willing to sell up and go get the business your tips will be well worth the effort you put into your job. good luck!

Why have cats become so popular?

How did this trend start? Ok so it seems that recently cats are taking over the internet and now everyone owns them or goes D'awww when they see one. Sure cats can be cool pets but still, why have they become to mainstream to appear in every internet picture with a caption that reads "___cat says ___". In my opinion its gotten kinda out of control, because there is honestly nothing THAT great about them and after seeing 100+ cat pictures,videos,gifs, I am starting to grow tired of it all. I remember the days where kids would talk of the cat lady as a bad thing, and that she is lonely. but now people envy that cat lady for her ADORBZ CATZ?!
