Grants - Opportunities You Can't Afford To Lose! - grant money Questions




Question #1:

I need help :( How do I show my ex that I've changed?

I was a bad selfish little girl, I cheated w other people's feelings and money, i liked my bf a lot but i still continued doing those things that i shouldn't have because i took things for granted, i believed that if something went wrong we could work things out. But it never happened. I guess you only really appreciate things after you have lost them huh?

Aft we broke up because he found out about something i was hiding, I stopped doing whatever I did in the past because i totally regret it. I explained and apologized for the past, but i guess its too late? and he knows i still have feelings for him because i blog it all out and he reads my blog. im not really sure he even misses me anymore, i guess not really because we haven't seen each other for 2 months... i tried asking him out but he made excuses not to see me. then he keeps rubbing it in my face like 'don't you have a lot of guys to date? why did you ask me out?', he keeps telling me that and teasing me about some stupid disgusting guy friend of his that likes me which i don't even like back. so how do i show that i don't want to fool around anymore, i don't want to get with guys only for their money, and i really want a 2nd chance to fix things because i still really like him? :(

Question #2:

I have an amazing new invention?

I want my Ideas to turn into Profit fast.

I am a fifteen year old boy living in the UK. I strongly believe that I am in possession of a great new idea which would sell and in return I would become a millionaire if not a multi-millionaire but first I need to know without telling you my idea yet, copyright, patent non disclosure statement etc..., would the government back me up and give me a grant as I do not have much money and I do not know any one whom is wealthy.

Maybe you could point me in the right direction give me a business partner maybe thank you.

Also should I show my idea to a manufacture HQ or just walk into a shop like Argos or something because I really want to become a millionaire and I am certain I have the idea/invention to pull it off just need money, advice and connections.

Thank you.

Your sincerely
to be famous inventor and millionaire.

Please answer the questions all please thank you and no I am not telling you my invention.

Question #3:

Help on deciding on a new video card for my desktop?

I am looking at Click Here
to replace my old ati x1900xtx.

I don't really want to drop a bunch of money on one. $200 max really. Just something to get me back up to speed. So any suggestions would be good suggestions granted they are in that price range. Preferably a pci-e 2.0 model as well.

I am using this board.

Question #4:

Why is Kanye Pest pestering Taylor Swift again?

Here is the latest from the former celebrity that defines what it means to be a loser. Click Here

According to the article, Pest has now declared that he is writing a song for Taylor that he wants her to sing and "If she won't take it then (he) will perform it for her".

Why wont this creep leave her alone? Uhh, loser, your the last creep in the world she wants any "songs" from. Im betting she would rather get a kiss from "miggs" (see Silence of the Lambs) than a song from you homey.

I get it, the loser is trying to put her in a some kinda position here where she has to either sing the stupid song, thereby granting him forgiveness in the publics eye or snub him and finally make herself the villain.

Ahhh, if Taylor just didn't handle the whole debacle so well, the loser would have escaped unharmed, like he did with political rant on the charity telethon (lowest of the low), and she would have been made into an unsympathetic figure, blond & spoiled, forever Nancy Kerrigan and a double loser in one night.

The ultimate loser however is not Kanye Pest, but anyone who has sympathy for him or has apologized for him. Talk about the dregs of humanity. Only truthers compete with these clowns. Who cares if a celebrity loses his celebrity?

Such fame is only based on whether or not the public likes you. Its not a f-ing birth right or entitlement. If you lose it, so what, and who deserves to lose it more than Kanye.

That said, I suppose I should be more appreciative of him. After all, there may never be another loser of this loser magnitude again! Sure, there will be more celebrities murders in the future but we prefer to call them "felons" or "criminals".

The term loser is reserved for a cowardly person who is the ultimate in classlessness. A guy who gets on the ultimate non-partisan event (a telethon) and rewards every Bush voter who donated their hard earned money to the cause with a big insult.

Oh yea, Im sure that brought the money in. Not like those people needed the money though, ehh? Add to that the Taylor Swift debacle and, well...who can deny...this is a loser for all time.
AP - Why the apologetics. Seriously, Im curious to know why you would feel the need to make any type of defensive remark on his behalf? I want to understand this phenomena.

Question #5:

Question about getting loans and grants for college. Please help.?

I want to go to a private school in Iowa. My GPA is a little low (2.9) but my ACT is a 27. I want to know if theres a possibility of me getting in there if my parents have no money. It's where I really want to go but I feel like i wont be able to go there because of money issues. Anyone want to help tell me what to do?

Question #6:

Will I be put in jail for misdemeanor violation of probation under these circomstances in Georgia?

I was charged with DUI and have been on probation. I am scheduled for court on Tuesday due to unpaid fees/failing to finish counceling. However, i just have not had the money to pay everything and it was very hard for me to get everything done due to costs. I have documentation proving i was granted unemplyment benefits back in the summer. I have bank statements proving i never had a lot of money and a check stub from the parttime job i work now. My probation officer personally attacked me saying i have a poor attitude. when i asked why she thought that her exacts words were "you just look snooty like ur too good for probation and you have ur nails done and you always look better than i do and is always dressed better than i dress" however my nails were just little press ons my mom gave to me so i ripped them off in front of her proving they werent real. I never buy anything, the dress i was wearing my ex boyfriends mom gave to me 2 years ago. point is, im pretty sure she hates me for no reason, and shes out to prove that i have money and my "priorities are in the wrong place" When i lost my job i even told her, i told her my car is dead and was having to buy another one when it happened. I didnt have any money saved up so i was forced to find a car to make payments on. And i have to go thru a credit acceptance place coz i had no credit and so my payments for my car are pretty high. She accused me of buying a "brand new mustang", but its old, a 2000 model... Anyways, I just cant go to jail coz ill lose my job and my car. What is the most likely outcome of court for me??

Question #7:

I need help looking for free help on applying for gov grants.?

I am a convicted felon.I'm looking for help in looking for the right gov grant my particular issue and most sites want money for info or it doesnt give in detail if that grant is meant for me and is the grant for organizations and companies and not for indivisual person.

Question #8:

Have you been paying attention to how federal stimulus grants?

are being used in your community?
We have a project here called "The Greenline." They are pulling up unused railroad tracks and making a walking trail. It is funded by federal grants. The problem is illegal aliens are constructing it.
Illegals don't pay taxes, they line up at the post office every Friday to send money out of our economy and into Mexico's. They use up social services they don't pay into and they take jobs from United States citizens and legal residents. And my county is leaving itself open to a lawsuit by misusing federal money. Companies awarded contracts involving federal money must verify their employees' eligibility to work in the United States.
Is this going on in your community to? How does this stimulate our economy?
In this case it is the county's fault. The law says they must ensure contracts are given to companies that verify their employees' eligibility to work. It's a federal law regarding federal money.
I'm saying they didn't ensure the company awarded the contract was verifying their employees' eligibility to work as the law states they must.

Question #9:

Ramadan: who is a muslim?

a person with an islamic name?
a person whose parents are muslim?
one whose background is 'islamic'?
one who submits to God only when it fulfils their own needs? (i.e. the pick and choose/moderate muslim)

Please read the following hadith:
Muslim :: Book 20 : Hadith 4688
It has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman b. Yasar who said: People dispersed from around Abu Huraira, and Natil, who was from the Syrians. said to him: O Shaikh, relate (to us) a tradition you have heard from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He said: Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: The first of men (whose case) will be decided on the Day of Judgment will be a man who died as a martyr. He shall be brought (before the Judgment Seat). Allah will make him recount His blessings (i. e. the blessings which He had bestowed upon him) and he will recount them (and admit having enjoyed them in his life). (Then) will Allah say: What did you do (to requite these blessings)? He will say: I fought for Thee until I died as a martyr. Allah will say: You have told a lie. You fought that you might be called a" brave warrior". And you were called so. (Then) orders will be passed against him and he will be dragged with his face downward and cast into Hell. Then will be brought forward a man who acquired knowledge and imparted it (to others) and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought And Allah will make him recount His blessings and he will recount them (and admit having enjoyed them in his lifetime). Then will Allah ask: What did you do (to requite these blessings)? He will say: I acquired knowledge and disseminated it and recited the Qur'an seeking Thy pleasure. Allah will say: You have told a lie. You acquired knowledge so that you might be called" a scholar," and you recited the Qur'an so that it might be said:" He is a Qari" and such has been said. Then orders will be passed against him and he shall be dragged with his face downward and cast into the Fire. Then will be brought a man whom Allah had made abundantly rich and had granted every kind of wealth. He will be brought and Allah will make him recount His blessings and he will recount them and (admit having enjoyed them in his lifetime). Allah will (then) ask: What have you done (to requite these blessings)? He will say: I spent money in every cause in which Thou wished that it should be spent. Allah will say: You are lying. You did (so) that it might be said about (You):" He is a generous fellow" and so it was said. Then will Allah pass orders and he will be dragged with his face downward and thrown into Hell.
=======================

so, tell me:

how good should a person be to NOT suffer the same consequences as above?

Question #10:

Unlawful Detainer Notice AGAIN!?

I lost my home to a loan modification scam. The new owner filed an unlawful detainer eviction to my tenants with my name on it. I don't even live there! I responded, went to court and the plaintiff tried to collect rent money from me but the judge only granted him right to possession and that was it. Now one of my other tenants just receive another unlawful detainer notice with my name on it again. I'm kinda tired of going to court and I accepted the lost of my property but my question is, can the plaintiff still try collect money from me again if the tenant doesn't answer to the eviction?
Sorry for the typo, I meant my investment property, not home.

Question #11:

How to handle a scam? What to do next?

My stupid immigrant friend is about to be scamed. Someone named "Carolyn" from New York called my friend from cell phone 596-909-7969. She apparently said the he was eligible for $30,000 in federal grants. He says she was very convincing and that she had all is personall information. She asked him for his social and back account number to transfer the funds. And my dumbass friend gave all those information like a pro. And she left her number which is 516-204-7163. Do we contact the bank or police authorities? We checked the bank account and no money has been withdrawn, yet.

Question #12:

ugggghhh i need help!?

Im 17 years old, i turn 18 in april and graduate in June. I live about 7 hours driving distance from los angeles and plan on moving there with my friend after graduating. We want to get an apartment and attend a community college. This is something we really really want to do but have no idea on how about doing this! we have NO money saved up yet but plan on applying for financial aids, grants, etc. And having a part time job while going to school.

It's so difficult trying to plan all of this by ourself since we live so far from there right now but we've been wanting to do this since we were freshman. Please help me in finding out the costs of everything and how we can make this possible! Thank you (:

Question #13:

I'm jealous of my boyfriends ex-wife, how do I get over it?

I'm confident/comfortable with the fact that things are over between them. But I am so jealous of her because -

a) She's now dating a rich guy and doesn't have to work. So instead of getting up at 6a.m. every morning and slaving at work like me, she's a lady of leisure who takes acting classes, has a grant for grad school and is learning how to make movies.

b) She has a SUPER "baby daddy" for BOTH of her children (the oldest is not my boyfriend's biological child, but he cares for the kid anyway) Once, when my boyfriend was really broke, he barely ate anything so he could give HER money for groceries for the kids (this was before she was with rich guy)

c) Despite having two young children, she is forever travelling places (New York, Paris, Minnesota, etc)
Thank you to everyone who actually gave advice instead of asking what's wrong with me and making snap judgements.

Question #14:

What will happen if I can't afford to pay my car property tax this month?

I am on disability and I just don't have the extra money this month to pay the $93 tax on my car. The car is paid for so I don't think they can repo it. After I get my pell grant money later in the semester I can pay it with that, but for now I just don't have it.

What can happen? What will happen?
possum I'm in NC
So luv, it's just late fees added on? They aren't going to put a lien against my car or take it away from me or something like that???

I wonder how much each additional month's fines are.......I've never missed a payment on my taxes so I'm at a loss here.
The registration is current. My stickers are current...it's just the tax collector bill that is overdue.

Question #16:

Financial Aid Refund Check?

Okay well I know that if you get government aid or scholarships and there is money left over after all expenses are paid you are usually entitled to a FA refund check.

But here's the thing with me, the grants I received covered most of my expenses but I just became eligible for a scholarship that would leave alot of money left over. If the checks are coming in a few weeks but my scholarship doesn't go into effect until the week of, will I still get a check for the left over money? and if not, will I get that money in refund check from the spring semester?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Question #17:

Can someone help me understand how I am going to pay for college?

I live in Ontario Canada and as most Canadian know, we are one of the highest countries in the world that puts money towards education (besides France of course!) and I know that I can also get my education paid for (grants, loans, scholarships etc.) but I don't want to have to owe OSAP (Ontario Student Assistant Program) money for the first 10 years of my life. How can I pay for college without getting loans?!
I will be going to college in September of 2011 so that give me 10-12 months to save!
I have searched and searched for scholarships, but the whole things is so confusing!
Also, while on my search for scholarships, I came across a forum saying that students have been writing to locally owned businesses and large corporations asking for money! Has anyone every tried doing this for real? Did it work for them? I know that this is Canada and I'm sure businesses/ people would LOVE to help each other out, but I'm still worried about asking. THANKS FOR READING!

Question #19:

Was it wrong of me? Was she even worth it?

To make a longstory short. There was a woman with a nice body but a not so nice face. She looked much older than her age. She was dating an abusive man who was a criminal. She recently aborted his child. She dresses provocatively and excercised often. Almost like an obssession. i could neverstand still, i suspected drug use? She also looks a little anorexic. I liked her and tried t obe a good guy to her. I listened to her hours and hours of hurt stories about her life. One day her friend met me and everything changed. She started t otreat me differently. I felt very self concious about how she treated me. I told her about it and it and she didnt care. She would often flirt with me sexually. Like lifting her leg up in a restaurant. Yet she told me that she didn't want to go with me as a bf or anything. She treated me like someone odd and dumped her problems on me. ihelped her a lot but she took me for granted. I tried to explain to her how I felt and how few people would sit and listen to her problems and genuinely care. She still didnt care and had no patience for my feelings. later we had an argumaent. She tried t osay that I was the same as her physically abusive ex bf, who she was still seeing I later learned. As she expressedthat he "gives her love". We had an exchange of words and I said some really mean thing out of anger to her. but I just got tired of how she treated me. I have no one in my life and it was hard for me to be flirted like that by a woman who had no interest in me. it made me sad, angry and very down on myslef. I felt ugly because she had a so called beautiful body, which peopel commented on all of the time. i recently tried to say sorry to her for the mean things I said out of anger. But she doesnt talk to me any more. She said some really horrible things to me and that is why I let loose. Though I never cursed her, I just told her how I felt. But she made it out like I am the wrost man ever. Even though her ex bf is a criminal, a liar, illiterate and an illegal alien.
And he used all of her money and that of her family. But she still 'loves' him. She looks old but thinks she is the most beautiful woman. it makes me sad sometimes but I dont know if i am wrong and just cant see that she was not worth me. or did I lose out on a woman I could have built something with?

Question #20:

Is he sorry or is he sorry he got caught?

My boyfriend and I have been going out for 18 months. When he's nice he's terrific. He did a huge painting of me. He would pack my lunch and give me rides where ever I need to go. He can be very sweet and thoughtful. We have an amazing connection. He can read my thoughts, finish my sentences...you know the deal.
On the other hand he is taking me for granted and he has been very rude to me during arguments. When I try to communicate something to him that is bothering me about the way he behaves, he replies with "Are you going to break up with me over this? If not than shut up about it. " When I tell him I'll leave him he says "Go ahead no one is stopping you!"
He stayed at my place while I went away for a weekend trip and when I got back, the brand new clothes I had bought and left on the couch were missing ($113) It's not alot of money. Why would he had clean up my place, buy fresh flowers and offer to go grocery shopping before I returned if he is a thief? It doesn't make sense. Then again he is short on rent and I wonder if he took the clothes so he could return them to the store, or maybe he gave them to some other girl...I don't know what happened to them! They are missing and he swears on "everything he holds dear" that he didn't take them.. My Prada sunglasses and a diamond pendant he gave me went missing last year...I never accused him or even thought he could have done something so disgusting. Yet I'm seeing a pattern and I don't know what to do.
On Friday night I broke up with him and he didn't stop me. 12 hours later he began apologizing and asking me back and promising things would be different. He swears he didn't take anything and he will change for the better. I also broke up with him on Christmas of 2010 ...so it's not the first time he promises things will change. He is literally begging me..text, email, calls... It's so painful to watch him beg and reason for us to get back and have to say no!!!!
I'm 34, we both just got out of a doctorate program. I can't understand why someone so smart, in a health care profession would steal or be so obnoxious. Not to sound shallow but people say I'm good looking. I was class president for our graduation. I don't have problems finding another guy but I love him VERY much. Losing him is like losing a family member. He is a part of me. No one has ever come close to the connection I have with him.
