Do they ask for ID at BAM/Barnes and Noble?

I wanted to buy a manga at BAM but it's rated mature and I'm 16. I just wanted to know if they would ask me for any ID when I go to buy it or will they not care. (And I've read all these things online so don't try and say I'm too young)

Just wondering if someone else feels the same?

Am I the only one that would hate to see the disappearance of physical books? I mean what if your nook/kindle beefs it and breaks? Making everything online sucks because it can easily foul up. That's the way I feel anyways.

How to meet other people who are into anime?

I am 22 years old, work a full time job (grave yard shift) and sleep during the day…

I spend a lot of my free time watching anime on streaming sites and channels such as crunchyroll, funimation, and netflix…

My friends aren't into anime nor is my family because they think its weird and immature :(

Im wondering if there's any good social sites out there dedicated to "Western" anime fans (I live in southern California)…

Is Crunchyroll.com a good place to meet other fans of anime?

Or how do you casually meet other fans. I just want people that can relate to my interest in anime and japanese rpg games.

I heard that people meet other anime fans at bookstores in the manga section, such as barnes and nobles.is that a good idea?

Anyways, enough of my questions… Thanks for the answers, they are much appreciated :)

The Smoking Skull would you c/c this poem?

The tour guide leads us into the whiteness
-a vast hall lit iridescent, civilizations sturdy in glass cases,
little fragments of broken things
asleep,
as if in a coma.
Walk around a while, a few lectures,
and then
suddenly, there's something more recent.
Set apart
from cities of pottery shards ---
"The Smoking Skull," the guide gives it a name.
Empty eyes, oozing with the blackness
that fills the nooks and caverns of the world,
a little twirl of ash, skipping down its jaw,
and in its mouth
a cigarette
hangs.
Others walk by, give a few words,
moments of the past piling in those empty eyes,
a strange wonder,
the bone steadily burning away with death.
Kneel down a minute,
Grandma, Uncle, and Brother take form,
trading ghostly flesh,
whispering little words they never got to speak
with dancing smoke.
Stand up,
feel the burden in my pocket,
throw it
away.
The skull laughs and tells me,
"Its gotta be some day."
Added (1). I'm sorry, I swear I meant no offense. :/

What would be considered damage to a collectors book?

I am a big fan of Zelda and had Hyrule Historia pre-ordered since August. Well when I finally got it in the mail (a day late) it's corners were bent and squeezed, so I went over to Barnes and Nobles I exchanged. I didn't notice until I got home that the 'D' in Zelda's paint was chipped off the tiniest bit (a little silver instead of gold).So I exchanged that one (still in plastic wrap) for a new one. The man gave me one that someone pre-order, but didn't pick up yet. I got the new one and it was fine.So now that person's book has a small chip in the 'D' and I feel like I did the wrong thing. Would you consider this damage because now I feel really bad. Thank you.
Added (1). By the way, the plastic wrap is off so I can't return it
Added (2). Also, although the chip of paint is small it is noticible
Added (3). Besides the chip it was in good condition

Where to start with Doctor Who?

So I want to start watching the BBC (I think) tv show doctor who, because I have a friend who's really into it, and from what she tells, me it sounds pretty cool.So I want to start watching this show, but my question is, where do I start? I watched an episode on on demand, but I didn't really know what was going on, except I saw the doctor and some girl. Then I went to Barnes and Noble looking to buy a season of doctor who, only to find that there are like a million.So someone, please, tell me where to start with this show, and if you can, explain the whole thing to me with their being doctors in the past and not only one. Best answer gets 5 if they explain! :)

What are some places to work that arent high energy?

I'm 17 and have been working in fast food. I'm on the verge of being fired, and if I don't I'm going to quit within a month anyway.It's too fast paced for me and I'm pretty slow and scatter brained.

I want to work somewhere calm or neutral like a bookstore or a clothing store. I'm looking more at a book store, and honestly don't know of any close clothing stores. The only bookstores I know of around here is Barnes and noble and half price books, are there any other book store chains I don't know of? Also, what's other slow paced//calm environment places to work.

I got offered a job at my local TCF bank which I'm going to take in the summer when I have my GED because it's not a high energy job. But until then, I need some income, I can't afford to not to be working (I help my parents pay bills, and have to buy my own necessary items for living)

Can I get a job at Barnes & Noble even though I'm 16?

I fear they may not due to my age (16 years old) and lack of retail experience.
My resume is very sleek. I excel in subjects like English and History. I'm highly organized, dependable, punctual, and a quick learner. I'm a junior in high school, so I would need working papers. I've only had two jobs, a cashier at a family business, and an assistant at a hair salon. I'm on my High School Honor Roll, French Honor Society, and my GPA is 3.9. I'm in six clubs and I play a sport. I'm proficient with Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, and the Internet. I'm also very knowledgeable in literature and psychology.My hobbies include reading, writing stories, photography, and volunteering.

Minimum wage in NJ is $7.25 and I'm only asking for $9-10. I believe I am very mature for my age and can handle working in that type of environment.My only problem is I have my application and resume, but I don't think my B&N is hiring. Should I submit it in anyways?

How to safely introduce a puppy and a kitten?

(Also posted in Pets > Dogs)

Well, this summer coming my mum and I are moving house. Although my mum has always loved cats, she always used to say that there 'wasn't enough room for a second pet'. Now, however, the house we are moving to is big enough for 10 cats! (nyahaha) - so I've told her we're getting a kitten, which she knew was coming.

Now, by the time we move in the summer, our little puppy will be a year and a half old, so in that little nook between "puppy" and "Dog". He is well behaved in the sense that when you say "sit", he will sit, and when you say "Leave", he will leave stuff alone. Unfortunately, he's like a child in a candy store, and gets excited by everything! (he once played with a crunchy leaf in the garden for almost an hour). He's a very rough-and-tumble kind of dog and loves to physically play. He's not aggressive in any way but is VERY nosy, and has to be in the centre of everything! He has met cats before (when out walking), and he always approaches them on his belly. He even bonked one on the head once with his paw (which earned him a hiss).

Like I said, he is not aggressive in anyway, just very hyperactive and very full on. He's the type of dog that when you first meet he runs up to you like Dug from Up and is like "Will you be my friend? ^_^"

The house IS big enough that they can stay out of each other's way, and we have (in the past when I was a lot younger) had dogs and cats together (we even had a blind cat that was boss of the two dogs), but I just want to know a way that I can safely and calmly introduce the new kitten into the home without fear of the puppy. I need a way that the two will either get along fine, or be impassive to one another.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this?

Thanks

Added (1). Additional -

Oh, yes, I intend to introduce them slowly to one another. I don't want to upset the kitten and agitate the puppy in any way shape or form. I want the two of them to eventually become comfortable around one another, and I don't mind if it takes a long time for this to happen - I will stay with them for as long as is necessary :)

How hard is it to restain a door?

The front door (main entry door) that I have is white and has been painted white probably a few years ago when the entire house had a white paint job. The door itself and the design looks good and the I like the windows but I dont like a white door. How hard would it be to strip the white and to have a dark wood stain look, something like mahogany?

This is what I am planning: Take door off hinges. Sand down with a sander until I hit wood. Get some good brand stain and apply evenly and rub with towel or rag.Do one side and let it cure.Do the other side. Then finish with some kind of weather protectant sealant or clear coat. I am not sure if this is a feasible task there are some small nooks and crannies where the window designs are (wood framing) but it's not TOO small that a little elbow grease can get into.Is it possible to change a painted white door to a wooden stained look?
