Looking for a travel buddy this New Year..? -

Hey - Is anyone interested in traveling within the US between 12/28 - 01/03. I am a 20 something female from Houston, Tx looking for someone to travel with.I was thinking of going to New Orleans, Boston or Atlanta. NY, CA and Vegas are not an option since they get wayyy tooo crowded around this time.Thanks.

Be careful looking for a buddy online!!

common finding online is not such a bad thing, I have seen lot of people doing it ..a better forum to find may be buddy sites like www.traveldaddy.com etc . But surely one needs to take precautions while selecting a buddy online. All the best, trust common sense and intuition

This is NOT Craigslist

Why would you want to find someone online? You better be careful.

How much is a horse and carriage? -

How much is a horse and carriage/horse and buggy through central park in NYC...the one for 2 people?

we went on one in May and I m sure that for the short trip it was $25 and the long one that we went on was about $40. apologies if these are way out, but after discussion with husband, we are sure this is what we paid.a beautiful tour, so enjoy it.

Price varies by carriage operated. Their clearly displayed on the side of the carriage.Good luck

How do you feel about the whole nyc fashion world? -

i love it but i hate it. i feel like it s been my calling to do somethig in it, not design, but some sort of deocrating or event planning. but when i think about it i feel like it s all so shallow. no offense to anyone who disagrees, but there are people out there starving and homeless and these fashion people are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars creating these extravangant visual displays just to tear them down and throw them out after a show or party. i believe as a part of the human race it is our obligation to help others. i m just confused because i really thought this iw aht i was meant to do but it feels so wrong. idk don t mind my rant, sorry. how do you all feel about this? people in the fashion industry or not?

We all have God given talents. If this is what you enjoy doing, go for it. You have to look at the big picture and not just tiny pieces. This industry creates jobs, it can help raise money for the homeless or AIDS research, etc. Be a designer..but be a designer with a purpose. Use your talent and your skill to make this world a better place. Of course homeless people and those with no food need our help, but they are not the ONLY people who do. For instance...I d rather see a young girl be a model than to sell her body on the street or do porno. How many struggling single mothers are out here who can use your assistance with a skirt, blouse, or suit when she has to go to a job interview and she wants to get off welfare. Fashion can make us feel better about ourselves and it can open doors. How about you someday opening a fashion school one day for young people who could otherwise not afford it because their mothers are crackheads or they live in poverty. Yes there are self-centered people in the industry..but there are those kinds of people in EVERY industry. Think about what your cause is and what you can do to help your cause WITH fashion! Create something of substance in a world that seems to have none. : )

I don t pay any attention to them.

I agree with Sea of Love, from an economic perspective we need a healthy garment industry because it employs hundreds of thousands of people, if they don t have a good industry what happens to these peoples jobs? And how are clothes going to be made for the general public that needs clothes?However, there are people in the higher echelons of the industry that live a very fake life style. They are not in tune with how real middle-income people live. They think the world has to understand their world but never the other way around.

If you feel that way now I would suggest not going into the fashion industry at all because you will become far too jaded. Perhaps try something involved in anthropology or start a charity of sorts, it only takes one person to really make a difference.I do know what you mean though, I used to work as a fashion buyer for Dior before I had children and it is fickle, you will feel alienated because I can assure you people in the industry have a warped sense of life. But from an economic perspective we need a healthy garment industry because it employs hundreds of thousands of people, if they don t have a good industry what happens to these peoples jobs? it just makes the whole social situation worse and there are loads more homeless. Now I live amongst the type of women who see their children an hour a day in between lunching and going to the gym, let me tell you this type of society will leave you drained and they are the people who hire decorators!If you feel its your obligation I would say persue it, you can t change everyone else but you can change yourself. Find something you love and go with it.Good Luck.

You should do what your heart tells you, if you feel kinda guilty working for fashion then you shouldn t. Don t think that all fashion people are this way though. Many employees of those companies started out with nothing and worked hard to get to where they are. New York is a city of competition. Some people have a good heart and some will F you over the second they get a chance. It s not just the Fashion Industry though, the Market Business and all them Wall Street business are that way too. I volunteer for the NYC FoodBank, and trust me there are a lottt of hungry people. I remember i was walking on 8th ave in Manhattan one time, and there was a long line of people waiting to get into the homeless shelter. That line was longgggg. There s a big gap between the rich and the poor in nyc. . Anyway i just wanted to say that many companies in here do donations and help out, some industries donate their clothes and donate money in general. Sometimes it s just not enough though. Especially with the economy now, it s going to get harder and harder. You should get into something you will enjoy doing, you can do what you love and at the same time you can volunteer somewhere else or maybe you can be a planner and decorator for people who aren t that rich, if you re talented you would really help many of them out.

What clubs have the cheaper bottle services in vegas? -

They are basically the same, averaging $350 for a bottle for four people.

Invest the money in a killer room. Get a basic room at Palms Place. This is far cheaper than bottle service, the room has EVERYTHING (Kitchen, huge balconies with a strip view, three flat screens). You can pay $20-30 for your bottle at the nearby Food 4 Less, $100-200 for your room, and get VIP access to all of the clubs at Palms for $45. (Last time I went, Ketel One sponsored all of the vodka drinks for VIP s..... we even had our own bartender at Ghostbar) This is almost certainly cheaper than bottle service, with far more drinks, access to different places, and a hell of alot more fun.

take my advice and skip the bottle service--it is so overrated---i never understood why people pay hundreds of dollars for bottle service when you all it really gets you is a couch to sit on and someone to bring you drinks--if you really want to, you can buy your own drink and stand next to a bottle service couch and laugh at the people 1 foot away from you who paid $300

How to visit Medina Wasl? -

Can civilians visit Medina Wasl (the fake Iraqi town in California used to train soldiers)?

if it s on a military base you probably wouldn t be allowed to enter, unless you know a grunt (family), or at least it was when i was in the army.Perro de Lava would probably know the answer cus i think he s still active service. and sometimes he actually comes to the Los angeles forum.

My package arrived in honolulu today will it be shipped to me in hilo today? -

No.

Pepsi Center Concert tickets- are these good? -

I just bought 2 tickets for John Mayer s upcoming concert. It s in the CCC row 15, seats 7 and 8. How good are these seats?? And does everyone have to sit on chairs?

Here s the seating plan for the Pepsi Centerhttp://www.pepsicenter.com/images/conten��Those look like they d be pretty darn good seats!I would imagine that they d want you to stay in your seats for safety/crowd control purposes. Or are you asking whether these are chairs as opposed to the regular (permanent) arena seats? (I d guess they re just chairs)

Whats a good vacation spot for christmas in california!? -

In Northern California, I would suggest the Mendocino coast for ocean views or Lake Tahoe for scenery even if you don t ski, the mountains are beautiful. Another addition is Calistoga where there are mineral baths. Another choice is go 3 1/2 hrs further south to Carmel and Big Sur and Monterey on the central coast, to San Simeon and Hurst Castle in Morro Bay near San Luis Obispo. If you want the desert, you can go to Palm Springs and mineral pool at the hotels. The Christmas atmosphere in San Francisco proper is very nice.

i live in california and the best place were i would stay is in Huntington Beach :Dthere s like a really nice, luxury hotel that i ve been to once is the Joie De Vivre Hotel, its amazing there, very neat and clean. the other one is the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach, also nice. both of the hotels are right next/across from the beach. there an outlet near there too. but the best one i just love so far is the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, the best place to bring ur kids in. its really fun.hoped i helped :]

Disneyland or Lake Tahoe.There is Chrismas in the park in San Jose
