yes, I did just give birth. I heard that it could be possiably from child bearing, but it seems hereditary in my family to have hyperactive thyroids. being so my mother and older sister are on medication, without the swollen gland! I do not understand why all of a sudden this would appear. Any logical explanations out there?

I had a similar problem, so I will tell you my story(hope it helps and doesn't bore you to death).  This all happened after I had my daughter...I don't know if pregnancy caused it or if it was just coincidental.  I first found out about my enlarged thyroid when I was sick.  I went to the doctor for being sick, and she told me my thyroid was enlarged and wanted to run tests.  I had felt it, but it wasn't that large at the time, so I just thought it was a swollen gland from infection.  I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were normal.  I went to an endocrinologist and he checked my levels again...normal.  At that time, he told me that my only option was to have it removed because he couldn't treat it with medicine if my levels were fine.  It wasn't very noticeable then, and I couldn't bare the thought of having my throat cut(he also told me insurance would not cover it because they would consider it 'cosmetic').  Anyway, over the course of the next 2-3 yrs, it gradually grew bigger and bigger.  I had my levels checked several more times and they were always normal.  I finally went to a new doctor, and she immediately referred me to a surgeon.  The first time I saw him, he said it needed to come out.  He said the larger it gets, the more chance there is of getting cancer in it.  He measured my thyroid and my left nodule was 6cm wide.  In January of last year, I had my entire thyroid removed leaving nothing but my parathyroid glands.  My thyroid had grown so large that it wrapped around my esophogus and surgery lasted 6 hrs.  I now take thyroid replacement hormones daily.  If it does not go down, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist.  The scar is barely noticeable.  They make the incision so that it fits right in with the wrinkles in your neck.  I hope this gave you a little insight. By the way, I was never diagnosed with anything other than a simple 'goiter'.


I need this for a report so don't answer with crazy answers or with another question.

The Oregon Trail was one of the key overland migration routes on which pioneers traveled across the North American continent in wagons in order to settle new parts of the United States of America during the 19th century. The Oregon Trail helped the United States implement its cultural goal of Manifest Destiny, that is to build a great nation spanning the North American continent. The Oregon Trail spanned over half the continent as the wagon trail proceeded 2,170 miles (3,500 kilometers) west through territories and land later to become six U.S. states (Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon). Between 1841 and 1869, the Oregon Trail was used by settlers to the Northwest and West Coast areas of what is now the United States. Once the first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, this trail was no longer used by long-distance travelers.\nHistory\nThe first land route across the continent that was well-mapped was that taken by Lewis and Clark from (1804 to 1805). They believed they had found a practical route to the west coast. However, the pass through the Rocky Mountains they took, Lolo Pass, turned out to be too difficult for wagons to pass. In 1810, John Jacob Astor outfitted an expedition to find an overland supply route for establishing a fur trading post at the mouth of the Columbia River. The expedition was a failure, but on the way back, the party discovered a wide, low pass through the Rockies: South Pass.\n\nWestward expansion did not begin immediately, however. Reports from expeditions in 1806 by Lt. Zebulon Pike and in 1819 by Maj. Steven Long described the Great Plains as "unfit for human habitation" and "The Great American Desert". These descriptions ignored the fact that the land could be fertile if irrigated with ground water (the Great Plains are a major farming area today). Regardless, the images they conjured up of a wasteland of sand and cactus discouraged migration for some time.\n\nThe route of the Oregon Trail began to be scouted out as early as 1823 by fur traders and explorers. The trail began to be regularly used by fur traders, missionaries, and military expeditions during the 1830s. At the same time, small groups of individuals and the occasional family attempted to follow the trail and some succeeded in arriving at Fort Vancouver in Washington. On May 16, 1842 the first organized wagon train on the Oregon Trail set out from Elm Grove, Missouri, with more than 100 pioneers. (Members of the party later disagreed over the size of the party, one stating 160 adults and children were in the party, while another counted only 105.) Despite company policy to discourage U.S. emigration, John McLoughlin, Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Vancouver, offered the American settlers food and farming equipment on credit, being unwilling to watch able-bodied people starve. The following year, an estimated 800 immigrants arrived in the Willamette Valley. Hundreds of thousands more would follow, especially after gold was discovered in California in 1849. The trail was still in use during the Civil War, but traffic declined after 1869 when the transcontinental railroad was completed. The trail continued to be used into the 1890s and modern highways eventually paralleled large portions of the trail.\n\nOther migration paths for early settlers prior to the establishment of the transcontinental railroads involved taking passage on a ship rounding the Cape Horn of South America or to the Isthmus (now Panama) between North and South America. There, an arduous mule trek through hazardous swamps and rain forests awaited the traveler. A ship was typically then taken to San Francisco, California.\n\nRemnants of the trail in Idaho, Kansas, Oregon, and Wyoming have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\n\nRoutes\nWhile the first few parties organized and departed from Elm Grove, the Oregon Trail's generally designated starting point was Independence or


Someone always parks on the street next to the curb in front of our lawn/house. It makes it difficult for us to park there when we need to because sometimes we can't park in the driveway when there are many cars. Are there any laws against people parking in front of your property? (I live in Anaheim, CA so city and state rules may apply).

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do, because it's city property.  We can't control who parks on city property in front of our properties.


i have gotten into a really bad sleeping pattern, and i cant seem to get out of it. I put my kids to bed a 8:00pm but then i cant fall asleep till almost 4:00 in the morning even if i lay there for hours. I will get up the next morning and start my day, i dont nap during the day, and somtimes i get really tired even though its too early to go to bed. but when 9:oo rolls around again I cant fall asleep! somebody help me....:(:(:(:(

Make sure its quiet, empty all your worries from the day into the trash.  ( you can take out the trash in the am)\nNext tell your body its sleepy. Start with your feet , legs, ect until your body decides that your right!! you are tired.


It was not my place to chastize another persons child, I used to tell her along time ago that days like this would come. I feel I can only take my friend, out of the area, so that things would not get out of hand. Police was called. & they did not take the daughter. \nNow my friend is afraid to be home with her daughter and she is now excepting overnight & weekend homehealth positions.\nI guess from a parent place who would want to see their child in jail or a memtal facility. \nAnd I really don't think that having a father in the picture is the answer. I know plenty of single mothers that raised their children without a father figure in the house and their children did not turn out "like chucky bad seed".\nAlso she has two other children and they did not act like that. \nSo please help me help her

She need to get help for her child some time you have to do things you don't want to do but you have to. It may hurt a little while but as time go by she Will be glad she did what she did.You have to start with kid while they are small to get them to know they got to listen to the parent or anybody older that tell them something. people shouldn't use that excuse of that about the father being away to get a answer.You can raise children now without a father around.


I'm affraid that your PC get a virus. The virus that can do this usually RontokBro and it variant. First step you have to eliminate this virus and then usu this code to get back your regedit and folder option\n\nDim fso, WSHShell, Parent\nSet fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")\nSet WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")\nParent = WScript.ScriptFullName\non error resume next\nwshshell.regdelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\\nWindows\CurrentVersion\\nPolicies\System\\nDisableRegistryTools"\non error resume next\nwshshell.regdelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\\nWindows\CurrentVersion\\nPolicies\Explorer\\nNofolderoptions"\n\nCopy paste and save using .vbs extention run it and restart. That should give back your Regedit and folder option.\nThe line contain wshshell.regdelete "HKCU\... must in one line.\nIf it can't show then probably the virus is still active.


They are not from Earth, but they are not citizens either.


Being American is alot more than being present inside the borders of this country.I don't think my grandfather fought in WW2 so someone could come to this country illegally and wave a foriegn flag and demand citizenship.Citizenship is something you earn by following the rules.

One of the biggest problems is that according the the PEW Hispanic research center. 80% don't even want nor do they care about being an American or following the laws in this country. These are selfish people who prey off of the sweat and hard work of EVERY American both past and present.


Does anyone have experience with surveypass? from www. surveypass.com it is legit? do they really pay?

Don't waste your money or your time with online surveys, none of them pay but they usually want you to send them a start up fee anywhere from $9.95 to $50.00 to join and be paid. These are all scams. I learned the hard way.


I'm a shy guy and I lack confidence to talk to girls. I like a girl in my college but I've never talked to her. Now the problem begins here: I'm currently having one month preparation leave for my exams. I have to study too much and I'm doing so, but I'm still remembering and she never gets out of my thoughts. So I cry for my studies and her too. Help me to keep her out of my thoughts atleast for this one month period. I think you've got my problem so please be kind to help me so that I can study in this month. Thanks.

make her ur inspiration for study,and see it will all work out


I know this female... who is a little shy but loves me a lot... she would love to be in bed with me... but I would like something that would induce this feeling in her and make her bold...

You can't drug her to go to bed with you.  She will sleep with you when she is ready, and if you drug her, that can be construed as rape, and you theoretically could get arrested.


Ok, I know this is a strange-sounding question and I'll probably get, like, zero responses, or else the trolls will fill up my space with rude comments, BUT, I ask b/c our family has these Old English weird nick-names for each toe, passed down through the generations at least since the 1600s, and each generation teaches them to the next. Traditions can be very strange.\n\nMaybe that should have been the question: What family traditions that would seem strange to outsiders have been passed down in YOUR family for years?

My Granny used to sing us the really odd song "Babes lost in the Woods" about kids getting lost in the woods and never being able to find their way home. It used to make me so sad I would lay in my bed and cry thinking about it. I don't know why she sang it to us- but she said her mom used to sing it to her when she was little, too.

I having a problem.I cant's express my feeling in words i mean while talking to people what i say to them does not make sense.Which field in computer industry is there in which u dont have to talk much with your bosses?

You should probably concentrate on those areas of programming where the only people you need to talk to are other programmers, the most removed from the user interface.  But I question the idea that expressing your FEELINGS is relevant to your job.  It's about facts, information, opinions of a professional nature; not about feelings.  Just keep the words you use simple and straightforward, and stick to the topic at hand, and you're OK.  \n\nNobody expects a guy who is good at programming to also be good at human languages; my former lover used to say that his native language was FORTRAN.  This was, in a sense, true: he worked for IBM to help create FORTRAN, all those years ago.  English is a second language to most programmers. Sprecken zie Java?

When I get really nervous or scared I start feeling cold and shivering, or start shaking. Why is that?

Yeah, it's a side effect of the adrenaline and collagen that your body releases during stressful times.  Mother Nature didn't intend for us to be put in the kind of stressful social situations that we find ourselves in sometimes, but our body doesn't know the difference.  \n\nWhen you get stressed out, your body illicits the same response that it would if you were being attacked by a grizzly bear.  Your body uses adrenaline and collagen to prepare your body for the "fight or flight" response.  Basically, it is a way for your body to maximize the use of your muscles in the shortest possible time period.  \n\nWhen you don't use that energy, your body might start to use it automatically, resulting in uncontrolled shaking.

He is methodist, I am lutheran. He is not a church-goer, I am. He says he considers himself spiritual w/ God but is skeptical of preachers. I would like to go to church on holidays with him, and he agrees, but just to be with me and make me happy, not to celebrate the spiritual meaning of the holiday. I don't feel like that's the right reason to go to church. I don't want to force him to do anything he doesn't want to do, and to find common ground with me, he says one holiday we can go to the Methodist church and the next holiday we can go to the Lutheran church and so on. I'm ok with that, but if he doesn't usually go to church on holidays, I am uncomfortable asking him. What should I do?

YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL WOMEN AND YOU KNOW THAT GOD SAYS NOT FOR A COUPLE TO UNEQUALLY YOKED!!! YOU CANNOT REALLY CHANGE HIS VIEWS ON RELIGION OR FORCE IT.. PREACHERS ARE CHOOSEN SOMETIMES TO PREACH AT TIMES THEY ARE NOT I DONT TRUST EVERYONE MYSELF, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE CHURH LIFE LEAD YOU BECUYASE GOD DOSENT SEE HOW OFTEN YOU GO TO CHURCH HE LOOKS AT IF YOU TRULY LOVE HIM AND HONORE HIM, TRY HAVING CHURCH SOMETIMES AT HOME WITH HIM AND DISCUSS CERTAIN RELIGIOUS TOPICS WITH EACH OTHER. COME TO SOME FORM OF AGREEMENT. AND GOOD LUCK WITH WHAT EVER YOU DO GOD WILL LET YOU KNOW


They are not "insurgents." They are dedicated patriots bravely mounting a resistance to an invasion force of carpetbaggers, pirates, thieves, and murderers. \n\nI hope we would have the same dedication and courage to fight for our own homeland if the shoe were on the other foot. And the way Gerorge Wanker Bush has colossally messed up The War Against Terror, it might happen.\n\nO-peration I-raqi L-iberation is not something our children and children's will be proud of. True patriots are committed to getting the commander-in-thief out of the Wh**e House before he murders even more GIs and Iraqi civilians.

Come on K9. Those insurgents are killing their own people by a larger percentage than they are taking our troops. those morons are blowing up markets and coffee houses. If they were REAL PATRIOTS, they would put on a uniform and come out and fight like REAL MEN. They are nothing but a bunch of COWARDS, who don't mind killing women and children. And if by some mishap our forces mistakenly kill civilians over there, then, we are truly sorry.Those people should also stand up against the insurgents. They won't because they are afraid. That is why they need our help. \nI really still don't know how I feel about Mr. Bush and his handeling of things so far, but I do know that there aren't many men in this country who could handle the pressure that this president has had piled on him since he took office. Would Clinton have been able to keep his johnson in his pants long enough to formulate a response to 911, i doubt it. Here is how i justify taking out those goddamn terrorists, by these events: the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beruit, by the first bombing of the WTC, by the attacks of 911. That should be enough for any real American Patriot to stand up and take action. I do feel that we haven't sent a loud enough message to those COWARDS. and I pray to God that Iran screws up and we get to go in there and clean house also. I think that the Iranian people are tired of that mullah crap that is being forced upon them also. Religion is one thing, but government is another. And I believe that they need to be shown how to seperate the two.\nBy the way, where does your allegiance lay?

My parents just told me we are moving... and I want to slit my wrists

what is so important about where you live now,moving maybe a better place to make new friends and cutting your wrists is not going to change the fact of moving unless you die then you wouldnt no if they moved or not so why put your parents through all this shit tell them how you feel and see why they want to move it maybe for the better like a better job means more money you can always write to your friends so do the right  thing and talk to your parents and get some help cause if you would take a big risk on killing yourself because your moving then you need some professional help


I'm guessing it will be like applying for a credit card or a loan. Does anybody know?

Anytime somebody checks into your credit you get hit with a bit of a lower rate. While this seems unfair, and I actually think it is, creditors look at too many views into an individuals credit without coresponding credit extended as a possible bad risk. When others are (seeminly) unwilling to extend credit, it makes others think twice as well.\n\nIt is best to only have those who you are very sure are going to extend you credit look at your scores. This way it will show that while somebody checked your credit, you received credit from that company as well.\n\nThe best way to ensurre this occurrs is to know exactly what the state of your credit is. You do this by getting your credit statement and learniing how to read it. Then if need be take steps to correct any outstanding bad debt or mistakes on your report. If you had a bad run of luck finacially in the past, you are allowed to write an explanaton which prospective lenders or credit card companies can read. \n\nHowever, it is best to correct bad credit by paying if off, allowing for the three years to have it fall off your report, then apply for a store card like JC Penny and use it to make a purchase which you pay off right away. This will build your credit for larger items. Just be sure you don't get out on a limb. Never take on more credit than you think you will be able to pay off. Take the disability insureance, which will pay a certain number of monthly payments untill you can get back to work, or will pay it off completely if you die or become permently disabled for any reason. Make sure it is not limited to work related accidents, as you could slip through the cracks of the policy then. Make sure it is for any accident of illness.\n\nGood luck building your credit.

it's been a month and i've started spotting? is that normal or should i worry?

I'm very curious, can see no reason why other people should decide what I can and can't smoke.

It's more addictive than alcohol, but I'm not too keen on alcohol either.  I say that because recent research has shown that more people ADMIT THEMSELVES for marijuana treatment now than for alcohol!  Why do they say "it's not addictive?"  It's making a fine distinction.  Weed is not PHYSICALLY addictive, but it is for dmn sure PSYCHOLOGICALLY addictive.  The new info just shows how ignorant we are about psychoactive substances.\n\nThe point in making it illegal is to, as much as possible, prevent it from reaching children.  The impact it has on children bad.  Although not terribly well-understood, new streams of evidence are consistently bad.  One of the impacts with the most evidence is asthma and diabetes.  Less evidence, but highly probable is a correlation between marijuana use and the onset of paranoid schizophrenia.\n\nThere is a long list of other negative side effects.\n\nNow on a personal level, I don't really care if you shot yourself in the head, ate lead, or drank mercury, but I am angry about irresponsible parents and I am concerned that marijuana use impairs driving and judgement (people lie and say it doesn't, but slowing reaction time IS impairing driving ability).  So weed is illegal because it is a safety hazard based on the belief in the ignorance and irresponsibility of the greater mass of humanity.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. \n\nmaybe Jesus said that. but that's for every prophet. You have to accept all the prophet sent by God. when moses sent by God to the children of Israel. they can't enter paradise unless they believe in the prophet that sent to them. the followers of Moses toward God path. \n\nsame thing goes with Jesus. you have to accept him as a prophet with a true message . \n\nand same goes to Muhammad. you have to accept the last prophet of God. and accept all the prophets that God has sent. \n\nJesus cannot be God. do not love Jesus until you admire him so much that you call him God or Son of God.\n\nwho agree?

well Jesus was not just a prophet , He said He is God. He is called the King of kings. and one day all knees will fall and ALL tongues confuse Jesus is Lord.

That is a distance of 5 miles.  The speed limit is 55 mph, but you are running late so decide to go 65 mph to make up time.  How much time do you save?

This is how you solve it. Use dimmensional canellation, but you will have to do it twice and subtract the difference\n\nA. (5 miles/1)  *   (1 hr/55 mi)  * (60 min/1 hr)\n   =5.45 minutes\n \n   \nB. (5 miles/1)*  (1 hr/65 miles) * (60 min/1 hr)\n   =4.6 minutes\n    \nYou saved 1.2 minutes. Not much at all. Which is what they say, speeding only saved 2 or so minutes in a 15-20 minute trip. BUt it tears the bejesus out of your engine


How can one remove and prevent Body Odour?

Start by bathing or showering every day and washing well with soap and warm water. Use an antiperspirant/deodorant. Maybe a little cologne or aftershave too.\n\nTry the link below for more information.\n\nTerry


Or am I the only heretic out there? Ugh, it's linty and clogs the toilet.

I agree, Charmin is too linty and leaves residue on skin.  I prefer Quilted Northern double roll myself.


Ok, so I know that audio files are recorded based on what we'd call the graph of a sine. What I need to know is when this was started, who started it, how it's done, and how audio is transfered to a sine function. Just anything like that would be great.

Music is composed of waves of a certain frequency, amplitude and wavelength.  This wave can be expressed as a sine function.\n\nWhen music is recorded, we try to reproduce those wave patterns on a piece of tape, or in a digital file.  Unlike analog recording, digital recording needs to "digitize" or sample the wave pattern to record the height of the wave.  It must do this very rapidly to get a good "picture" of the waveform.  All this math and science goes into CDs, DVDs, even records, tapes, etc.

In applying for positions at mid-level or upper-level management, should I write my letters in full paragraphs, which I prefer, or should I use the two-column "T" format, listing requirements on the left and my qualifications on the right?\n\nI'm looking at top tier consulting firms and senior positions in technology and biotech companies.

I say paragraph form.  I used to be a recruiter and I have never heard of the T format.  That would get on my nerves.


Why is it that shows that are uplifting to women like "Commander in Chief" get cancelled but shows that are degrading to women like "Desperate Housewives" are going on strong? I'm so disgusted by this! Please give thoughtful, intelligent insight. Thank you.

I don't know, mind you I never  liked C.i.C but that's because I don't particularly like Geena Davis not because I can't believe that a woman could be president. I'm guessing the ratings weren't good enough to keep the show going. \n\nBut there are strong women characters in TV even if they don't carry there own shows all the time. Come to think of it most of them are in those forensic shows, CSI, Crossing Jordan, Bones, and stuff like Medium. \n\nMaybe that's why it was cancelled because it wasn't a crime scene show. Desperate Housewives is a piece of trite contrived garbage in my opinion and is geared towards those who would prefer to read a Harlequin romance than a novel of substance. \n\nWhy is this? It just seems to be what people want now a days, I'm sure that trends will change and you'll find better and better female characters in TV.


I am alright; but after I shave my pubic area my penis keeps up erected for most of the time of the day; upto 2-3 days why is that? is it normal or any other matte? Please help

It's not a big problem indeed;\n\nfirst of all you should know that the pubic area is one of the sensitive areas in your body. When you shave it off it makes more sensitive area to come in touch with your pants and the others parts rather not inturepted by others. \n\nSo this makes your penis to getting on erections. However I think it will end up and be back to normal within few days.\n\nAlso having a shave will maintain a good temp in your pubic area which will also makes you getting erection.


like this...\n   once my sister was outside collecting rocks saw a med. size one and picked it up and found out it was dog poop.

The doors on my car froze shut on me once and I couldn't get them open.  I had to call 911 from my cell phone and the cop finally got the passenger side open but I am a large person and he had to LEAN over me to try to push the driver's side door open.  I hit the lever and let the seat lay me flat of my back and then I got the giggles and he wondered what I was laughing about and I said, "Is that your nightstick or are you just happy to see me".  He cracked up and said he didn't know how in the world he was going to write this one up! TRUE STORY!


I am new in US...back home in Thailand, we are just not used to of stereotyping someone as gay...this way...like it is done in US....We have  our own ways for doing that... :)

gay is a sexual preference NOT a song preference!\nyoure okay,if anyone calls you gay because you like a song theyre ignorant.You should stay away from ignorant people who judge people because of what they like.theres nothing wrong with being gay anyway,i'd rather be gay than ignorant!!!!(i'm straight but does it matter?)

It depends on which satellite. TV satellites are in a geo-synchronous orbit, they remain over the same location all of the time.\n\nMost artificial satellites are placed in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), where they travel at about 27,400 km/h (8 km/s), making one revolution in about 90 minutes. The primary exception are communication satellites that require geostationary orbit. However, it requires less energy to place a satellite into a LEO and the satellite needs less powerful transmitters for data transfer, so LEO is still used for many communication applications. Because these orbits are not geostationary, a network of satellites is required to provide continuous coverage. Lower orbits also aid remote sensing satellites because of the added detail that can be gained. Remote sensing satellites can also take advantage of sun synchronous LEO orbits at an altitude of about 800km and near polar inclination. ENVISAT is one example of an earth observation satellite that makes use of this special type of LEO.


It seems to me that they persecute many people because people believe differently from them. Aren't Christians supposed to "love thy neighbor"?

Because religion is a big social club and subsequently its members are subject to the mental conditioning of their leaders.  If leaders preach hate, their followers will become hateful.  Within a congregation people are given the right to be prejudiced against other groups who are not "saved".  Members are also lulled into thinking that their sins are forgiven, so a license to do evil is handed out to all who solidly believe.  We are all prejudice in the privacy of our homes, even if we do not admit it.  Religion just brings it out of people.


For all you who don't believe in The Theory of Evolution and believe we were created in God's image.  What exactly is God's image?\n\nI believe the New Testament says that Jesus 'took on the form of man'.  Isn't the indicative that we took on a new form from the one spoke of in Genesis?

It is ironic that men are supposed to be made in God's image, but we turn around and personify him in our own image.

My father is a mechanic and got fiberglass on his hands while working on a radiator of a car. it happened 6 months ago. he has a rash that has spread to his elbows and no treatment seems to be working. His hands are twice the size they used to be.. Can anyone help?? I am really worried about my dad......

Usually, it takes inhalation of fiberglass particles to cause serious health problems. Skin contact may cause the symptoms you describe, but they usually disappear as the small fibers work their way out of his skin. Sometimes, scrubbing the affected areas with a smal brush and strong soap helps. \n\nHe should follow the advice of his physician, not the often incorrect advice posted on here. I'm betting that eventually, the problem will go away.\n\nBTW ... you are to be commended for your concern about your father. Kudos to you! :))

First of all If the bill is correct I will pay it because I sort of have good credit and Im trying to get it to excellent credit. The collection isnt on my credit report yet, but I wanted to know when the collection agency send me back the proof that I need and I agree to pay it , will they still put it on my report? Lets say it is mines and I send them the money due which aint much , only 130 dollars...what will they do next?? And what should I do to protect my credit ratings? I read that sending them a settlement offer that states that negative marks should be removed, but like I said it hasnt made it to my report yet...Please help

You need to take the time to read the Fair Credit Reporting Acts and the Fair Debt Collections Act.  The reason you are having a hard time with these boneheads is because you don't know the law, and they are running all over you!\n\nI've posted the relevent parts below that will help you out.\n\nFirst, when you contact the collection agent, you must do so IN WRITING to prove you sent them a letter.  Be sure to state you want to have your debt VALIDATED!  This is very important.  Once they receive this letter, they must reply within 30 days.  Their reply must have PROOF that you have a legal obligation to pay this debt.  That means contracts, bills, receipts, and everything used to calculate what they claim you owe.  Also be sure to include a cease and desist warning, with warning about posting anything to your credit report while this matter is in dispute.  Once that is done, they can't do anything until the debt is validated.\n\nIf the fail to supply this information, and post negative information on your credit report, they will be in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.  Whether the debt is legal or not, posting unvalidated reports is against the law and you can sue them in small claims court for $1000 very easily.\n\nIf they validate this debt, and it does appear you owe them, then pay the bill.  By law, the Collection Agency can not post anything to your report within 180 days of the date of delinquency.  (that's six months to you collection agents reading...).  \n\nI would also follow through with a negotiation demand that if you pay the bill, they will agree IN WRITING not to place negative information on your credit report, or remove anything that they did place.  Do not actually make a pledge to pay, or you may be restarting the clock on the Statute of Limitations.  Do not acknowledge that you owe the debt.\n\nContact me if you need any advice or encouragement.  I am not a lawyer or credit counsoler, just someone who likes to get under credit collectors skins.


to them.  I first received the email/opened it/ licked reply.  Erased the to field and replaced it with the email address of the person I wanted to send it too and received an email back from them saying they couldn't download the attachment.  I had cc'd it to myself and when I look at it.  It says nothing about an attachment..even though the original did.  I tried to paste and copy the info in the attachment, but don't see how to do it.  That is the bar at the top changes to a different format and I don't see the edit key there and when I highlight and right click it..it does not say paste or copy.  How do I do this? Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to get this information to them tonight.

When you click forward, it carries the whole email to the other person.  Even alows u to type extra stuff or remove stuff.


wants me to do that. anybody been there with there boyfriends or husbands.

A sexual relationship should be focused only on one man and one woman.  If your boo wants that from you than he is not respecting you and the relationship.   I understand we all fantasize, but that is all they are, fantasies, they are not meant to come reality.  If you give in there will always be something more he's going to want and expect from you.  Think with your head and not your heart or something else.

I have much better than basic computer skills: software and hardware. I build custom computers all the time. These computers i build are always faster than any off the shelf system. I know alot about hockey, i know web design. I can learn anything there is to learn if i can be hands on with it.

do you have a degree to back this all up? with out the degree you wont get where you want or even deserve to be.\n\nIf you have your degree then go to a collage or training program and ask for the "job test" it is where you sit and answer a million questions, then they put your answers in the computer and the computer tells you where you would be good at. Then you can find a job in what your best at.\n\nif you dont have a degree, then consider school for another 4 years and get your degree, you should complete it fairly fast if you already know it all.\n\nGood luck.

Derek Jeter forgets how to play and hits a homerun and wont stop running around the bases. He just keeps going around and around.  He is screaming "I will keep scoring runs until we win" What will the announcers be saying.  What does Joe Torre do?  Do they let him just keep running??  Do they go to another show like in a rain delay???\n\nThese are the things I think of during the seventh inning stretch.

Very funny question but i think someone from either team will knock him out after the third run around. The announcers would probably be like is this guy on some kind of new and hallucinogenic substance that the physical cant detect? Joe Torre would probably be like would someone get him off the field get an ambulance or just shoot him damn it?


Why does Governor Hayley Barbour want to spend so much money on the bird flu? It has not been even 1 case of it here yet and its MAY... He said this yesterday

Because he wants to be seen as being ahead of the curve.  The CDC is Ginning up the horror mill again ( remember how SARS was going to KIll us all) H5N1 is a normal virus with a mortality rate of less than 1 percent. Way less, The regions of the country where there have been deaths, attributable to H5N1 or not ( it is inconclusive as to whether or not these individuals died of contact with this virus or another pathogen) have been reported as less than 100 people. And that is in regions where people sleep with their chickens. And incidental also home to 1/6 the worlds population so the actual Recordable mortality rate is some where around 100:1000000000. Yeah you counted it right 100 in a billion that you will die of this disease.  But hey Make Politics while the sun shines right?


How would you vote?\nI'm thinking it would have to be a Possum since only Amnerican born critters can run for President. Lets make it a little more fair...a 2 headed Harvard Edjumacated Marsupial vs George W Bush

ok so i was in my class talking to this girl about movies then she asked me if i like star wars so i answered "No Star Wars sucks" and some fat nerd whom i dont even know just stood up, walked over and trys 2 punch (more like a slap) me in the face but missed and hit the chick then starts to yell with tear in his eyes "STAR WARS DONT SUCK! YOU SUCK!"...yeeeeeea...the point is what is wrong with you star wars freaks get a life plz.

it's not "Star Wars geeks," but people like your classmate who take any negative comment on their own pursuits as a personal attack.  they don't realize that everyone does not share their personal tastes.  their pastimes are such a part of their life that they cannot distinguish between what they enjoy and themselves.  which is why they will fight over any criticism or slight made on their pastime.  this is ignorance, and it has nothing to do with Star Wars.  i've seen several people behave in this manner and they did not all like Star Wars.


the lesbian couple?\nif so, do you believe Schmooly was condoning homosexualty, as an Orthodox Jew, or do you think he made God-like truthful points throughout the show, as he was quite frank about the issue being contraversial?\n\ni personally thought it was well done, as a Christian.\n what was your take/thoughts on it?

I saw it... I think he made a big point to seem open-minded, but ended up talking about the fact that they were gay so much that it made me feel like that's all he was focused on.


but they dont take the money out of his check. he sends a money order in....

it depends what the laws are in your area. for me in alberta canada, i was told they have a clause where if they think the man quits his job in order to avoid paying support, the totals will just keep adding up until he gets another job and then he will owe even more. but, thats what they say and it doesnt often seem to work out where the courts get him to pay more of the back support. another thing they do here is that if someone owes a lot of back child support, when they go to renew their driver's license, they cant until they pay back what they owe. but i dont hear much about if that actually works or not and if they move to a different province, its even harder. \n\ni would assume that if he cannot pay right now due to quitting his job, the money he owes would just pile up until he gets another one, but im not sure how they work for back-support. you would have to contact someone in your region to find out.


how would you be posed?\nhow would you be dressed(if you are dressed)?\nwhere would you be posed?\nfinally, what kind of facial expression would you have?

If it were possible.. I'd be carved out of amber.

I am selling my house.  My realtor tells me I need to purchase title insurance and the buyer also needs title insurance.  What is the deal here?  Is this legit?

Yes this is legit. You must and you should.\n\n You don't want problems from prior ownerships to interfere with your rights to your property. And you don't want to pay the potentially ruinous cost of defending your property rights in court.\n\nA title insurance policy is your best protection against potential title defects, which can remain hidden despite the most thorough search of public records and the most careful escrow or closing.\n\nCall the title company you will be using and ask them if you need it of if the realtor is full of shit. They are the experts.


i just had dinner at my grandmother's and i havent seen her in awhile so she made appetizers,dinner and dessert i ate it all just to make her feel good,but now i feel sooo stuffed  is there anything that can make this feeling go away,i dont wanna puke it up

Drink water. I know you are stuffed, but drinking water will help break up the food more, allowing it to digest easier and a little quicker. Plus it will helpit "pass" quicker.


Just wondering about this...I remember seeing John Tesh in many clips for Channel 2 News in the 1970s.  I just can't remember the exact dates.  Thanks.

My wife, while on a vacation to her home town, spent the night on a secluded beach with a friend of hers who happens to be male.  They had a fire and laid there and listened to the waves and watched the stars.  That's all she said happened.  She was trying to keep this from me, but I found out.  So she has been friends with this guy for about 10 years.  We have been together for 7 years and have a 2 year old child together.  What I want to know is....Is it right for her to spend a night like that with a friend when she has a husband and a child or should a situation like that be spent with your lover?  I didn't like the idea of her doing that but I want to know other peoples opinion because I might be wrong.

No. What she has done is very inappropriate and in my mind, VERY selfish. I imagine she wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of such a thing should you have done that; am I right? Bottom line is this - it is not right for her to spend an evening like that with a man who is not her husband. Period! The mere fact that she kept this from you is an indication that what she did wasn't right. Deep down, she knew this would upset you and rightfully so. But if it were so harmless, she wouldn't have kept it from you in the first place. I think to help resolve this situation you should ask her what makes it "okay" for a married woman to do such a thing? I'd also ask her what makes her think that you should be "okay" with it as well?!

If she's not into it you should go the solo route with the flicks. Acceptability of some skins action on film lies solely with the particular couple.

Okay I really don't care much about the observable universe, I want to know an estimate of the mass of the entire universe (To emphasize that look here -> ENTIRE).\nI know that we apparently cannot determine that, but I'm just looking for some good estimates, and maybe the reasoning beside them.\nAlso please include the percentage of that which is dark matter.

Ok...we don't know how big the entire universe is. It may well be infinite, which, assuming it is homogeneous, would mean that it has infinite mass. At any rate, physicists currently think it is "much larger" than the observable universe. How much larger? I don't think that they have any evidence. But let's assume that we can see 1% of all visible space. This would make the mass of the universe = 100 * 3 * 10^52 kg, or 3 * 10^55 kg.


I have high blood pressure, but am on medication for it. My blood pressure was normal this morning, but my pulse was 103!

"Taken when at rest, a normal adult's pulse can be anywhere from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Anything over 100 is technically defined as a tachycardia. There are many instances during which it is perfectly natural for the heart to be racing out of this "normal" range."\n\n"The heart will always beat faster when it has more work to do and needs to pump more blood and oxygen to the body," he says. "Exercise, emotion, nervousness, a large meal are all common triggers. If you are overweight or out of shape, the heart will need to work harder. And sometimes, a regular pulse slightly above the norm just may be normal for certain individuals, depending on his or her specific body chemistry." \n\nLots more info on pulse rates at site below.  Hope that helps!

This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.\n2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.\n3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.\n4.

It is a great sport. Very demanding physically, and mentally. It is also a very tactical sport. The riders are good people, possibly more dedicated to their sport than any other athlete (ie. soccer player, runner) \nI watched the TT and was happy for Ullrich to win.


I can't find anything with a pentium 4, that says it will fit the PGA 370 socket.  Which Processer will work on the PGA 370 socket that will be big enough to run XP OS?

And you won't find a new processor that fits it either.  The current Pentium 4/Pentium D processors use the LGA 775 socket.  But I don't like Intel processors anyway.  I like AMD and that wold be socket 939 for a good number of them.  If you're serious about upgrading you're going to have to get a new motherboard to fit the processor of your choice.  However, depending on the speed of the PIII you may be able to run XP if it is faster than say 700MHz but don't expect it to be a speeding bullet.  Not to mention that you'll need a minimum of 256MB of memory (I like having at least 512MB) but I won't touch a system that has less than 1GB.  As long as you aren't going to play games and already have sufficient memory, and I hate to say this because it goes against every fiber in my being, you'll be fine.

i am just wondering if there is any software that will atomatically find and change the tag information for the song. like the musicmatch plus feature except for free. nad if there isnt one for free could someone tell me a cheap one.

Winamp can do for both, mp3 and wma. just right click the song in the playlist and select "View file info" then edit it.\nhttp://www.winamp.com


I have exhausted all my other options except reading the resolved questions. I thought I would spend a couple of points asking questions. I like to get answers so start typing. Today is my day off and I don't have much else to do.

I hope to gain level 2.\n\nIt's a short term goal, it's achievable and it depends on people like you who rate my answers.


I hear about the fire that killed about 200 people outside Lagos Nigeria from petrol scrounging and wondered. To put the the picture in perspective Nigeria is exporting 2.5 million barrels of oil daily. Now at current rates around $77.00(US) a barrel thats about $195 million a day or $71 billion a year. Now there's a total population of 129 million people BUT 70% of the population makes less than a $1 a day. Is my maths out or WTF is where the money going and who and why isn't something done about it ??

its a well known fact that the nigerian government is corrupt but they have oil so they can do what they want


I am an agnostic; I just wanted to ask a bizarre God question. I am sure I will get cut & pasted rants."...and the donkeys of the field rejoiced, and the insects rejoiced, and all matter of things rejoiced, and the shepherds did rest, for they saw all was good and were pleased..." Ezekial 45:9\nHave fun weirdos!!!

It's good to believe what you believe, it is also good that you keep Christians thinking, because it makes them look things up in the bible.\nSo believe it or not you are actually helping out...\nthe bible clearly states that all things Good or evil will bring Glory to God...\nSo I truly thank you for your questions it keeps me thinking about God and his kingdom.\n\nAs for plastic who is to really say it is not there I have not been to heaven so I do not know, but it is a GREAT question. \n\nThanks


Take your pick:\n\n1. the derivation of "eight-six'd" comes from the Old West. Alcohol was once allowed to be 100 proof in strength, and when a regular was known to get disorderly, he was served with spirits of a slightly lower 86 proof. Hence he was "86'd."\n\n2. New Yorkers know a different origin for this phrase. There's a bar/restaurant called Chumley's, at 86 Bedford Street in Greenwich Village. The bar has a formidable history as a literary hangout, but more importantly, as a speakeasy. The place is known for having no identifying markings on the door, and at least four or five hidden passageways that led to exits, some into adjacent apartment buildings. To "86-it" meant to simply vanish from a "dining" establishment. It's not hard to imagine how that evolved to mean "take a special off the menu", or any of the other interpretations it's given today.\n\n3. the origin of this term "eighty-sixed" was referring to the standard height of a door frame. In other words to be thrown out the door, you are 86'ed.\n\n4. The term 86 or 86'd has its origins in NYC, where people committed suicide by jumping from the observation deck of The Empire State Building on the 86th floor before a safety fence was installed.\n\n5. this term came from a shaving powder (Old Eighty-six) from the wild west days. Just a pinch in the rambunctious cowboy's drink would have him heading for the outhouse and out of the saloon.\n\n6. filmmakers learned to use transparent light filters to change the quality or colour of the image that they were filming. These filters are categorized by number, the highest number being an 85 filter. The mythical 86 filter would be totally opaque, not letting through any light at all. Hence, the origin of the verb 86, to get rid of something in the way an 86 filter would completely delete any image in front of the camera from striking the film.\n\n7. "86" referred to the number of ladles it took to empty an army pot of soup. After 86 servings, the pot was empty.\n\n8. The United States military has what is called the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 86 of the UCMJ is Absence Without Leave. (commonly called AWOL).\n\n9. this expression originated in New York City back in the days when there was a saloon on every street corner and elevated trains ran along the lengths of the major avenues. One of the lines terminated at 86th Street, at which point the conductors would eject the drunks who had fallen asleep on the train. Sometimes the drunks were belligerent. The conductors took to referring to them as "86's."\n\n10. It is a holdover from journalism days when news was delivered over the teletype. To expedite the process, sometimes coded numbers were sent for common phrases and actions. For example, when a story was complete, the number "30" was sent. To this day, copy editors in newspapers still use the number 30 at the bottom center of the last page of a story. Also, (I've been told), when an item was sent in error or to be discarded, the number "86" was used.\n\n11. this term had been derived from military shorthand and referred to the phone dial (when it had letters on it). The T for Throw is on the 8 key and the O for Out is on the 6 key - hence something tossed is 86'd.\n\n12. the expression was nautical. Something like "86 leagues or feet", with the idea that putting something that deep down in the ocean was discarding it.\n\n13. this originated during the Korean war. "Eighty-six" refers to the jet fighter North American F-86 Saber. Whenever an F-86 shot down a airplane during a dogfight it had been "eighty-sixed".\n\n14. "86" refers to the standard depth of a grave in the U.S.: 7 feet, 2 inches; thus to "eighty-six" something is to "bury it".\n\n15. Folk lore has it that local code #86 in New York makes it i


Everybody knows Bush isn't that popular, but now that we're in this war, we can't pull out, can we? Some politicians say that he went into it with all the wrong strategies, but now that that is the past, why are we still disapproving of Bush? I dislike Bush and everything he's done with the war, but i personally have no other way of getting out of the war. But i agree that for future reference, Bush should stop trying to impress his daddy. I ask, though, why do you complain about Bush? If you think about it, imagine if someone else won the 2004 election. Would they really know what to do with the war, since it already started and would be horrible to take the troops out at that time?

Well his popularity depends on who you're asking. Needless to say the liberal media isn't polling anybody I know! I live in Houston where of course he's quite popular, but I also work for a Dutch company and I'm working in Malaysia right now. The people I encounter from many different countries and backgrounds seem to understand what's really going on in the world and aren't as critical of him. I think most people that they poll just are giving a knee jerk reaction. Nobody is neccessarily pro-war, but there is a time and a place and if Iraq wasn't it, I don't know what would be! But to get more to your question (?)I have to say no; we can't contradict him. We'd be much worse off with Kerry in office because he would be a tool for the UN and they've shown to be totally ineffective.

seeing vagina for females is not easy can anyone suggest a way to masturbate and at the same time see what happens there?

Best things is to use a MIRROR. If anything why don't you video tape your self masterbating down there. Make sure its a up close view so you can see what's really going on down there since you're wondering..


I PRAY DAILY FOR THIS.  PLEASE OH LORD DELIVER US FROM EVIL!!

I hope not, bush's poor job approval& his stupid actions will make it easy for the Democrats to sweep the 2006 & 2008 elections! Watch how fast republicans try to distance themselves from him.

I really want to invest in real estate but I don't have the money to do it and I am currently unemployed. I saw an ad on tax sale properties saying that one can buy properties for literally a few hundred dollars and some for a few thousand.  What I really want to know is, whats the catch?

One catch is, if the property is improved (has a structure on it) you will generally not be able to inspect the property before buying it.  So you would be taking it "as is."  I think people and companies who make money at this probably have enough money to buy several such properties at a time, and they can average out the risks and make a good profit in the long run.  But they will need to have plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters available to do repairs as necessary in order to make the structures habitable -- or they must have the skills and time to do the work themselves, obtaining permits and following codes as required.\n\nIf the properties are just vacant lots, the risks are different: they just need to know how much land is worth in a given area, and be able to afford to pay taxes on the properties until they can be sold.

If x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a\nThen what do we know about the equation ax^2+bx+c=0?\nThis is easy but probably the thing you wouldn't spot at first.\nIn case you couldn't tell, I ran out of meaningful questions.

Aahhh, subtle. You're obviously careful with your parentheses, so the difference between x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a and x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a) (the correct quadratic formula) could not have escaped your attention - technically, the first could be interpreted as x=((-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2)a, in which case a=1/a and a=±1.\n\nThat's clever.

One: He only likes Americans.\nTwo: He likes only Americans.

I agree with The Professor (real or not) but regarding the last example he used (See below)\n>>>Thus, the rule requires you to say We can come to an agreement only if everyone is willing to compromise. But you can say more naturally, with slightly different emphasis and with no risk of misunderstanding, We can only come to an agreement if everyone is willing to compromise.<<<\nI tend to disagree.  These two arrangements do convey different meanings.  The first one means "No compromise, no agreement (i.e. a compromise is the requirement for an agreement)."  The second sentence means "An agreement is the only thing and nothing else we arrive at upon a compromise. (i.e. when a compromise is reached, we have no choice but agree)."

it's probably in your genes or related to low hormone levels.  it looks like your doing everything you can...some sugar shouldn't hurt.  you getting enough water?  it can help flush away some of the toxins.  vitamin C is also said to help.  also try stretching more often to increase circulation to your problem areas.

My bf and I just broke up A couple weeks ago and I have had feelings for his friend for a while, but have never acted on them. I want to ask him out, but I am quite nervous. I was wondering if I should tell my ex first and get permission from him out of respect, or should I not even bother? I would not ask a guy out this close to a break up, but he is leaving for the summer pretty soon and I want to get to know him before he leaves. Any advice?

GET PERMISSION THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS THERE TO BE RESENTMENT AND TENSION WHEN YOU START A NEW RELATIONSHIP. ONLY OTHER PROBLEM IS IF HE'S LEAVING SOON YOU MAY NOT END UP WITH A REAL RELATIONSHIP BUT A KINDA SPACE FILLER TILL HE LEAVES

Every day, this category sees about a hundred questions along the lines of "CHRISTIANS: How can you believe...", followed by "ATHEISTS: How do you explain...".\n\nMy question is, does anyone really think that there is another way of asking "Why don't you agree with me?" which has not already been asked, and which will lead to some kind of meaninful conclusion?\n\nIf so, please go ahead and ask it now. The suspense is killing me.

I ask these questions all the time. And my reason is this...\n\nThe questions are seen by a few hundred people at best, and then are bumped down the queue, not to be seen again until the are resolved, and pop up on the front page again.\n\nTherefore, I will continue to ask questions, to reach as many of these theists as I can.  My purpose is not to insult them, or argue with them.  I just want them to get the question stuck in their heads.\n\nBecause even though it will anger them when they read the question the first time... they have to THINK about it to formulate a response to it.  And if they think about it long enough, eventually, they'll begin to see why religion is so illogical... and false.\n\nAnd that's all I want them to do... THINK about it...\n\nNow, why do I care?  For me, it's about politics.  Religion is destroying this country, and affecting my life, in many different ways.  I want it gone, as soon as possible...

Other precision strips may function in the meter but only the QID strips are specifically designed to provide accurate results in the QID meter.  Only use the strips specifically designed for your glucose meter, using other strips could provide inaccurate results.

Three factors that affect your growth rate are as follows :\n\n(1) Your Genes\n(2) Your Pituitary Gland\n(3) Your Nutrition\n\nThe Pituitary gland sits as the bottom of the middle of your brain. Its secrets various harmones, one of them including the growth harmone. Growth hormone is the key factor that controls how tall you grow to be, and the amount of it that gets produced can vary from year to year and even month to month as you grow.\n\nNutrition can help, in the sense that undernourishment can cause growth to go more slowly. Eat well-balanced meals, with protein, vegetables, and all the vitamins and minerals you need.\n\nYou certainly can't control your genes, but with a well balanced diet, you centainly can suppliment the rate of increase. The only limiting factor is your age. By 19 years, the growth of an average person stops. There are medicines available in the market, but I am certainly not in favour of using those. In case you want to, consult your doctor before using those.\n\nCheck this site too...\n\nhttp://www.seps.org/cvoracle/faq/height.html

My doctor recently prescribed Wellbutrin to treat depression.  I have read about other drugs like Zoloft and Paxil.  Which one is the best?

I have been on and off soo many different medications over the past 7 years, Wellbutrin being one.  The first time around that I took wellbutrin it did wonders for me and I had no side effects except maybe a little weight loss.  I took it for depression and it also helped with ADHD.  It wasn't an immediate difference that made me all of a sudden happy about life but it hit me all at once along the way and i looked back and realized how much wellbutrin had helped me.  I was happy.  I was positive (which you have to take part in trying to get that mindset) and I noticed I hadn't been sad/down or upset about anything in months.  It was one of my favorite and most successful medications.\n  .....I eventually came off of it (b/c Dr. felt it wasnt needed since i was happy and content) and went back on and off other drugs later on when I fell back into depression.  This past year I tried Wellbutrin XL (there is a difference) and it had no effect on me at all, which was obviously no help at all.\n\nZoloft and Paxil I have heard positives AND negatives about.  They are both under the same category SSRI's and so they are both very similar in how they work and you'll most likely have similar side effects from both.  Prozac is also in the same category and in my own personal experience, I will NEVER take another drug in that category because it did exactly the opposite of what it was supposed to.  It really jsut depends on the person tho.  Its trial and error and everyones body reacts differently to different drugs.  \n\nI would lean towards the wellbutrin for you though....especially if you havent ever been on an antidepressant.  also, ive heard more negatives from other and worse side effects from zoloft and paxil.  Wellbutrin tends to not have much of any after the first 2 days (and i only had nausea).  Just dont take it on an empty stomach.  and if anything, instead of a decrease in sex drive like most other antidepressants, ive heard many stories of an increase in it from wellbutrin!  (always a plus).  Good luck!

Nowadays it's quite a common thing for women to pursue a career (and I mean working long hours) but also desire to be full time mothers. Do you think that both can be achieved in an effective way, or is it inevitable that problems will arise in either her job or her family?

If you are looking for a life without problems you won't be able to manage a job or children both are fraught with possibilities for enormous numbers of them.\n\nAn intelligent woman will be able to balance both with reasonable success and failure in both.  She will miss some of the high points of child rearing and might not reach the pinnacle she would have liked at the job.\n\nHowever, loving both her children and her job that will be enough for her.

People like you Mr Mann want a good spanking for this sort of misuse of a fantastic service.  When I was a child my shorts were regularly taken down and my bottom smacked. I learnt from this and now if I misbehave my wife "Mistress P" does exactly the same, you should be smacked by your wife, not with the bare hand or slipper like me, you should get a good caning that would sort you out once and for all


Yes, as well as Microserf, boogle.com, etc.  \n\nDefine what you mean by counterfeit??


What are the advantages to registering in Delaware?

Delaware's corporation laws allow corporate management the greatest leeway in what they want to do.  The state actually makes pretty good money out of being a convenient place to incorporate with minimal paperwork burden and taxation (heck, I've chartered a Delaware corporation or two myself).


i need to summarize several research papers by answering 7 questions. there is one phrase in the question that i don't quite really understand and so does my classmates.  here is the question...\n\nare the views of the other scholars cited either to support the argument or as a foil to disagree with? how are these views presented, and in what terms? give brief examples...\n\np/s: i dont understand the phrase "how are these views presented, and in what terms?" if can please give example... thx..

how are these views presented...\n\nwell go back to the text and see in what way the scholars communicated their points. Did they use anecdotes, scientfic evidence, etc.\n\nin what terms?\n\nquote specific things the scholars said to back up weather you think they support the argument or disagree with it.


I am looking for some ideas for the google summer of code that i could possibly use in some of my remaining applications.  I consider my self to be well versed in C++ with decent knowledge and learning fast in Java.  Thanks.

I thought the companies you can work with have already outlined what features you could help them build and infact most of them also specify the languages you can code in.\n\nIt might be worth your time to go through that list!!


she is eight and has to take 5 different meds twice a day. any home rems that really work.

Well, listen to the advice of your doctor and get rid of things that can gather dust.  I found that a HEPA filter really helped my son as did putting anti-allergy covers on his mattress, box spring and pillows.  I also vacuum out my son's room every single day with a HEPA-filtering vacuum.\n\nManagement is definately the key.  You may not be able to completely get her off meds but you MIGHT be able to reduce her need for some of them.  Good Luck.


i have apache 2.2 , windows server 2003 , html knowlege and i am about to buy a domain name , but i am wondering about php , do i need it ???

if you want to create content that is dynamic in nature (pulling from a database), then you will need to code in php, asp, asp.net, etc...\n\nyou should buy a book.  it will make it easier to learn.  i recommend the Sams Teach yourself in 24 hours/21 days series.  They are great for beginners.
