I Need Information About A Hand Made Euphona Guitar Circa 1936 Chicago.?

The makers of this guitar were quite elderly at the time (1936) & made Pianos usually. My parents discribed them as 2 old men who measured my mothers hand before making the neck so she could reach the chords. The guitar was made left handed. I would like to know how rare it is…I have been advised that it is quite rare & could be valuable. It is small, but has a great tone. It has traveled the world with me & was rescued from a house fire 10 years ago. There has been some damage to the finish & I would like to find a reliable guitar maker to do the repairs.

What Kind Of Career Would Suit All These Skills?

alright, i grew up doing a little bit of everything
im bascially a jack of all trades
ive had 14 years of ballet training
(but i obviously can’t be a professional, its more of a hobby)
i used to write a lot of stories & songs, writing comes easy to me
(but i dont want to be a journalist)
i love love love every animal & my heart melts for them
(but to be a vet, you need a perfect 4.0 in all your bio classes… including bio-chemistry… & i cant do that X__X im an average B student)
i also had gymnastics / acrobat/ contortionist training
(but the circus is a dying art, usually family owned, & they travel a lot)
i can climb anything
(but arborists dont really make all that much money)
despite being a tomboy, i somehow learned how to do awesome & realistic things with makeup, whether its making someone look sick, or like a zombie, or like a fairy, or if they were rotting in the ocean, or if they were a burn victim
(but mom wont let me go to a beauty school)
im also very artistically inclined
(but i can’t picture being able to draw something every hour of every day for the rest of my life)
im musically inclined, i can read music, sight read & sing, i used to play the violin & i can play by ear on the piano even though ive never had lessons
(but im not about to go be a famous singer)
lol i was also raised as a daddy’s girl & learned all the handy work
i.e. all kinds of house work & renovations & repairs with mechanics, plumbing, electricity etc…
(but i would not enjoy that X__X they have always been chores for me growing up)
so if theres any job that could somehow mix dancing or art & music, or something with climbing & animals, or writing…
ugh im a mess arent i???
i was considering moving to San Francisco with my sister & be one of the acrobats that dances above the crowds at the clubs
because really, i grew up performing & dancing & thats the one thing i have most experience with

Did I Sprain My Wrist?

My wrist seems like it is sprained, it hurts whenever I bend it to a certain point, & it’s somewhat swollen. It is not discolored though, & I don’t have any idea how i might have sprained it.
I’m normally an active guy, but in the past month or so all i’ve been doing is running, pushups, & situps. I got my computer back last week(it was being repaired for several monthes) & I spent a good time over the weekend playing piano, which i haven’t done in several months either, but I really doubt that either of those would give me any type of overuse injury, especially in one hand.
thanks!

“trading Spouses” Question?

The show “Trading Spouses” gives each family $50,000 but the mom from the other family decides how it is spent. I was just wondering if there is a legally binding contract that prevents the families from spending the money that is not the way the other mom meant for it to be spent. I just watched an episode where the other mom gave $2,000 for a piano & the rest of the $48,000 to the little girl of the other family to receive upon her 18th birthday. Are the parents obligated to spend the money that way (they were poor & could have used that money for repairs & bills)?

Repairing Hardwood Floor?

I recently moved a spinnet piano with a friend’s help into my rental house, & we placed it on a carpet to move it across the room.
This left light scuff mark lines across the floor where the wheels were that are only visible in direct sunlight.
I understand there are scuff removers for hardwood floors, should I get this or is this for other types of scuffing like shoe marks? If not, what way could I clean/fix this?

Hi Everyone!,
My name is Kelly, I’m an 11 & 3/4 yearold girl looking for a job. I really love babies & kids, they are my life! I am very good with kids & they love me, I have lots of experience. I have been through a few emergencies while babysitting & they were handled just fine & everyone was safe. I attended a safe-sitters 2day class & know CPR & First Aid & my mother is a nurse at Kootnaei Medical Center & my dad is an electrician, they have both taught me lots.
Creativity is one of my biggest traits & if I babysat you’r kids we would be doing fun creative things like crafts, projects, sewing/creating clothes, baking,getting a cardboard box & cutting it open to make our own T.V. show, write a play & performing it, making a windchimeand many more things to do that the children would like & would be safe.
I am very interested in music, art & acting so alot of our activities would be based around those things. I play violin, piano & gutair & would love to teach children how to play those instruments. I also really like sports like next year I’m going to be on STING proffesional soccer & I really like to play any sport. If you’r child doesn’t like those things I am more than willing to change what wewould be doing. Before I babysit you’r kids my mother is going to come with me to meet you & most importantly, me meeting you’r kids.
I was trained to handle almost all emergencies & I am a Red-Cross certified babysitter, I know that me & your children/infants/babies will have an FANTASTIC time together!
I know that since I am 11 my age makes it look like I’m too young or something but It is kind of in the genes of my family that we just love taking care of people. I have babysat my neighbor’s baby & kids & I often am watching my baby cousins home alone, sometimes overnight. If you asked any members of my family they would say I am very mature & responsible.
If you have alot of kids & just need my help to do chores, yardwork, cook, entertain you’r kids, repair anything, walk you’r dog(s), do poop-patrol or anything else I can be you’r mothers-helper.
My fees would be $4.00 an hour to babysit or being you’r mothers-helper
but if you can’t afford that than just pay what you can even if that is nothing
e-mail me if you are interested!
Thank you!
Katy

I Wrote These Poems In Grade 7. I’m Now In Grade 8 And Was Just Wondering What Peoples Opinions Were On Them. ?

Someday
Someday, I’m going to perfect that song on the piano I started last week
Someday, that guitar solo is going to sound the exact same as it does on CD
Someday I’ll have my own band, with really exciting gigs
Someday I’ll be able to get my music out to millions of people
Someday, I’ll communicate my messages to the world through song
Someday, I’ll be a role model for millions of young women & teens
Someday, I will help others achieve their dreams
Someday, I will prove that the only thing impossible is impossible itself
Someday, I will make people hear melodies of hope
Someday, I will make people sing choruses peace
Someday, everyone will understand what we need to do
Someday, everyone will understand what we’ve already accomplished
Someday, everyone will understand how far we have to go
Someday, is in the distance, but still in reach
Someday starts today
One Window Is All I Need
One window is all I need
To move on from the past
To accept the future
To get carried away in such a world
To see the mountains & the hills ahead
To see the ditches, the holes, the sticks & stones
To see the rainbows, & wonder what is at the end
To see the stars & wonder how long they will shine
To understand the cycle of the life, evolving before my eyes
One window is all I need
To make a single mistake
To make something right
To learn how to repair something I break
To learn right from wrong
To accept the things I cannot change
To have will power to change the things I can
To help someone in need
To teach them how to do the same
One window is all I need
To know what I want to do with my life
To understand why I was put on this planet
To be a leader to others
To be a follower in my faith
To be an influence to the younger generation
To be the best I can be
To give all I can
To be accomplished

How Protect My “wood” Floor From Water Damage?

We have an artificial wood flooring in our kitchen. Over the last year, esp. below the refrigerator water dispenser we’ve greatly damaged our floor from all the drips of water from doing the dishes, cooking, etc.
We were amazed when we lifted some carpeting under our piano how beautiful & shiny it originally was. Now we’re sad because we obviously don’t know how to take care of this flooring.
I’m not sure what type of floor it is… We dropped a hammer on it & gouged it & it appears that it has a thin top surface & the main body of the floor is some type of cheaper wood or other wood-like material; it’s a cheap house.
What is the best way to:
1) Repair the water damage… Can a laminate floor (or whatever) it is be stripped? I believe we CAN NOT sand it because the top layer is so thin. Would I just go to Home Depot or Lowe’s & ask for stripping products?
2) How can I protect our floor going forward? Consumer wax products seem to last a couple of weeks then go dull… not a permanent solution. Can I go to a hardware store & buy a polyurethane-type varnish & paint it on as a longer-term solution?

Why Is My Brother Such An Asshole?

I’m 15 & he’s 16, maybe since he really into the puberty stage he’s like this, but please provide other reasons. He’s always bothering me. When I try to play the piano, he sits next to me & plays the same song, saying that I suck at it, even though I just started, or he reads in my ear when I’m playing. Whenever I’m watching TV, he takes the remote away from me. When I stick up for myself & say no, he threatens to hurt me, & if I still refuse he actually goes through with it. Whenever I don’t listen to him, he takes my laptop off the network so I have to ask him or my dad to put it back on. Whenever I’m just in the car doing nothing, he just makes fun of me or anything about me.
And since we’re in the same high school, this presents him with many more opportunities to make fun of me. I’m hanging out with my friends, he comes over & calls me stupid & starts hitting me for no reason just because he wants to seem cool. When I talk to girls, he assumes they’re my only friends & that I’m gay. When I talk to guys, he assumes that I’m gay for them. (I’m neither of the two). He constantly tells his friends I am, or says something like “oh, you’ll have to ask him yourself” implying that I am, even though I’ve told him countless times I’m not. Now all his friends think I am, & I’m pretty sure he & his friends are trying to convince everyone else around me that I am.
And please try not to give me any of your kindergarten philosophy that we’ll grow up & be tight, because we won’t, okay? He ruins my life beyond repair at every corner & has no remorse for it. He likes to say that I’m weak & stupid, he likes to make fun of the music I listen to, he thinks that I’m helpless with everything & when I don’t accept it he says that I’ll fail, which I don’t. When I leave my door unlocked & I’m using my laptop, he’ll come in & watch what I’m doing or record it or something just to show to his friends just so that they think I’m a loser.
I just want to know what to do about this, is there any way good ways that I can ignore him out of existence (in my world at least) or anything I can do (that isn’t telling my parents, because they don’t really help a lot, & if they do they’re on his side), like some comeback or remark that’ll leave him speechless for sure? I’ve tried the reverse psychology thing, I’ve tried changing the subject, I’ve denied what he’s said a million times, of course I’ve tried ignoring him, he just pesters me until I give him a response & since we’re at home, I can’t really go anywhere. Whenever I think of something to say, he just retorts with something about what his friends think, or what everyone thinks & that he doesn’t know why I’m the way I am. I have stolen from him before, but it was only small kinds of things & I have apologized & paid him back for it, but he still holds this against me. I tell him I don’t care but he constantly brings it up, like when we’re meeting new people he’ll tell them, or when he’s with his friends or I’m with my friends he’ll say it loud enough for me & everyone else to hear. He’s always getting better marks, even though he’s in a higher grade & he says I’ll fail because I probably don’t get it, or it’s too hard for me because I’m too stupid or something. But I’m doing fine.

Anyone Know The Name Or Artist Of This Song?

I am reading a story & like the character is playing the piano & singing a song. I really want to figure out what the song is to go listening to it since i was reading the words & i want to hear how it sounds to see if it as good. here are the words tell me if anyone knows what it’s called or who it’s by..i’d really appreciate it.
song:Out on your own,
Cold & alone again.
Can this be what you really wanted baby?
Blame it on me,
Set your guilt free.
Nothing can hold you back now!
Now that you’re gone
I feel like myself again,
Grieving the things I can’t repair,
And willing-
To let you blame it on me-
And set your guilt free.
I don’t want to hold you back now love!
I can’t change who I am…
Not this time!
I won’t lie to keep you near me!
And in this short life!
There’s no time to waste on giving up!
My love wasn’t enough!
And you can blame it on me.
Just set your guilt free honey.
I don’t want to hold you back now love!

Before I even started high school, he told EVERYONE he could that I was gay. And I mean, everyone. So now whenever his friends see me, they hear my voice & say it sounds gay or that I dress gay or something. He likes to say that I’m weak & stupid, he likes to make fun of the music I listen to, he thinks that I’m helpless with everything & when I don’t accept it his help he says that I’ll fail, which I don’t.

But I’m doing fine. I COULD just do the same thing back, but I don’t like getting revenge because it’s just a never ending war from there. What are the best ways to just block him out of my mind for now, because “in a few years”….that’s a few YEARS. I’m talking about now. I don’t even want to talk to some people out of the fear that they think that I’m gay & will never talk to me again or publicly embarrass me.
I can’t call him stupid or anything, because he’s somewhat smarter than me even though I’ve told him he’s older so of course he knows more. The only thing I have over him is that I not as lazy as him since I do things myself & get more exercise & that I’m nicer than him.
Common things he says to me: “My friends saw you today & they said that (so & so) gay.” “I bet you always hang out with (somebody who I don’t even hang out with a lot, but they consider a loser)” “Ugh, why are you so ugly?” “You’re super passive.” His fault by the way, since he’s always such a bully I don’t want criticism from anyone else so I just have to think about what I say so that I don’t seem like the description that he tells everyone I am. This makes it harder to make friends.
So yeah, I can keep on trying ignoring him but he’ll just come up into my face & yell at me & bother me for an answer which I do eventually give. If you can give me some REALLY good ways to ignore him, not fight back, ignore. I don’t want to have to deal with this never ending problem now, be
