Hmm, if you have problems with your hands, then a hobby where you have pain-free fine motor skills with your hands is going to be a challenge.
You should play dumb, and just tell her, "Gosh, I don't know, but it seems to me that a lot of the kids can't even read. Geez."
The big difference between a Squier and a Donner is that the Squier has a MUCH higher resale value. You'll be lucky to get any money at all for a used Donner.
It counts as a hobby if you make no money form it. If you make money from it, then it's a job.
I would always break the D after two weeks.
It's important if you want to be able to communicate well with intelligent musicians. If you just want to jam with cavemen, you don't need to know how to talk.
Old string will not harm the instrument at all. It's just that they might not sound good. If they sound fine to you, then leave them. But I promise you that you will like the sound of fresh strings.
Socialize. As much as possible.
Also, try to figure out what makes you miserable, and stop doing it. I'm not trying to sound smart-alecky, but very often we do things just because we think we are expected to do them, not because they bring us joy.
You should buy one of each and decide which one you like the best.

First, you have to want to do it. Second, you get the money, you buy a bass, and you hire a teacher.
Anything is better than nothing. It all depends on how much money you want to spend.
Go for it! Just keep your expectations low. Really, if you can do it and not pee your pants, that is a great achievement!
It's not a bad idea. It's just a dumb idea.
Longer lesson time will not help you at all. What will help you is practice time.
Ask your teacher what to practice. That is what he is for--to guide you in your practice. The purpose of lessons is to show you what you need to practice, and to gauge whether you are practicing correctly.
A good musician can make any guitar sound good. Musicianship is in your fingers, not in the instrument.
Yes, but not year-round. And not above concrete.
But then who will clean up the bodies and the trash? You're just transferring the problem from one place to another.
Why not just build a giant slide/tube on top of Mt. Everest for bodies and trash
