Resolved Question: Can I keep my Ball Python both in a Rubbermaid/Sterlite tub as well as a Glass Tank? [READ MORE!?]?
I'll like to keep him in the glass tanks for display and wouldn't really mind seeing him at night sometimes and plus I like that fact that you can decorate the tank for snake's, but I was wondering if I had a tub too like for something he can use temporarily like maybe during a shed because i've heard tubs keep humidity in there quite well and if I noticed the "blue-phase" in the eyes then i'll move him to the tub, but also just put him in there for when i'm cleaning out the tank, so would that be fine because I feel that he shouldn't just always be in a tank and at least have something else that he can go to and use as a temporary home and the tub will also be decorated with hides, branches, rocks, a tiny water dish, heating pad/thermostats, etc. where as the tank will have a heating pad and a day/night lamp for photoperiod, if you know what I mean, but i'll sometimes take him out for handling and every and bonding with him, so do you think it's a dumb idea? Even though he isn't a mammal, I'll still like to give him the best life possible and I adore him with every my heart and would literally die for such an animal no matter how crazy people think I may seem because if the time came where somebody tried to kill my snake then they are just going to have to kill me too.

Open Question: Is it wrong to disapprove my boyfriend seeing his ex?
My boyfriend of over 1yr is mad that i disapprove him seeing his ex (she is still single) and he accused me 'forced him clip every contact with her', and my behaviour is 'completely not necessary'. He insists they are just 'friends'. Here is what happened: 1. Why I don't think they are 'just friends' : from day 1 when she appeared in our life, a year ago, when me and my bf just started heating up in a relationship, she came to london to visit him and needed to 'sofa surfing' in his 1-bed-flat. It happened to be a weekend that i routinely stay over his place; So instead of me staying with him in the bedroom while her sleeping in the living room (I would have no problem with that), he had to persuade me to go home to accommodate her. He said 3 of us staying in one apartment would be 'awkward'. We had a battle over this and he eventually put her up in a 5 star hotel (guess he felt 'guilty' to kick her out). She was furious about me and was rude to me. So, clearly I didn't think they are 'innocent' to start with (feel free to tell me wrong). That incident burried an bad seed in our relationship ever since.... 2. 6month later, she moved to London and found a job; He started to seeing her once in a while, for dinners or drinks, always alone and never told me; Whenever they went out, he would always pick up the tab she never pays; I don't think this is 'just friends doing' at every! Even so, he complained to me he was frustrated that he'd like to 'look his friends more' if it's not b/c of me. I felt very hurt. 3. finally he decided to tell me one day she suggested to have dinner with him, he asked my approval. I initially agreed to it but then felt very uncomfortable so asked to arrive along. He didn't want me to arrive b/c we girls don't receive along. eventually he agreed me coming to the dinner and we were ok; 4. After that event, I asked him not seeing her alone, for dinners etc, b/c I don't think it's appropriate behaviour for ex. especially him picking up the bills every the time feels like he went on dates with her; He promised that he would only meet her when with a group of friends; It made me so glad. 5. Little did I know that when I was away on holiday for 3 weeks, he met up with her FOUR times in 10 days, 2 times alone for dinners and a movie. Surely we had a blown up after I discovered this. I put down my feet saying he crossed my line, he didn't do what he promised and let me down terribly. and he had to pick between her and me (I know it's silly but I felt I was not left any choice here but forced to do so); Of course he chose me, at least it was what he promised to me. He said he would clip ties with her completely. Now, a few weeks later, he came back on his words, again. He clearly has a lot of resentment. He accused me 'forcing him to make the decision' and is 'completely not necessary'. I arrive to my defense that it was HIS and HER behaviour that made me believe their 'friendship' is not pure. Am I wrong to react this way? And how should we solve this the best way?? Any thoughts welcome! Many thanks!!

Open Question: What's the name of this food?
Here's a picture of the food that I'm going to describe and ask about: http://i.imgur.com/XEnNj.jpg Does anybody know what the name of this food is? A pal of my mom's brought this back home from a senior middle, and she gave this to my mom. I don't know if this food is a known by many people, or if the senior middle just created it. It's about 3 by 4 inches and 1 1/2 inches thick. It looks, feels, and tastes like cream cheese is a big portion of the ingredients. The food is white (with raisins), it becomes soft and tender when heated, and it tastes like cream cheese. Although it tastes only a bit like cream cheese, it becomes obvious when the container that the food has been placed in leaves traces of cream cheese, and I mean fresh and semi-liquid cream cheese. Thank you very much for finding out the answer and solve this long-time mystery to me! =) Oh, and it's so greasy that I have to blot the oil out with napkins. I'm not sure if the greasiness is caused by the property of cream cheese, or the top of the food has been fried, because the rough surface on the top looks like it has been fried. It doesn't seem to be too much starch (flour) in the food. To moomie: Ahh~ The calories, fat, and cholesterol contents... Especially the cholesterol... I've never seen any food with a cholesterol content this high - well, I think I've seen a serving of a food that had a 3-digit milligram of cholesterol, so this is the second highest I've seen... =S I finally found out the caloric value in this food, and it was about as much as I've guessed. I could probably have eaten a totally fat-free diet for the entire day, have one-third of the 3x4x1 1/2 portion like I've always had when my mom brings that food home, but I still could have consumed the maximum amount of fat I can consume daily, according to my height and weight. Wait... No. I'm pretty sure that there's no rice in that food, because it doesn't taste starchy as the presence of rice or flour would be. Most of the pictures of Polish rice cakes I've searched on Google Image appeared to be grainy with rice. The third picture from the link that "moomie" has provided looks more like it, because the food looks white, smooth, and tender. The fourth one looks like the food, but only because it has raisins; it looks too cake-like. But I don't know. Maybe the rice is the ingredient that makes the top of the food rough... Hmm....

Open Question: What's more important? Some justice or answers as to why?
I have to pick between two difficult choices. I would like your opinion. Please give reasons as to your choice if possible. I was drugged and gang raped. I suppressed the memory for a time, and have been dealing with flashbacks for the past 18 months. My choice is either file a police report, outside the statute of limitations, or confront some of them myself. By the time I got the who and what, every the evidence was gone. I was uneducated as to what the drugs did, and didn't want to file an accusation, when I couldn't tell IF, who, what, when, where. This could help other cases against the group, if any, and would be investigated. It would obviously be uncomfortable for the police to show up at their place of employment or at home and have to explain it away to their significant other. OR Confront them individually myself and try to receive some questions answered. Who?? ( I know there were 11 men there, and I remember 6 on me. I only knew who 4 of the men were.) WHY????? WHY ME????? It was planned and I walked right into the trap. The first thing said to me was it was my job to service men, and why did I not service one of the men previously on a date. I was having trouble moving after my first drink at a bar, and he brought me back to an apartment filled with his friends. Even if I got some of that answered, I think it would be important to me. I lost my virginity that night. The first man who raped me told me that I had to lose it sometime. I am contemplating going after what I deem to be the weakest links for some answers. I am not afraid of them. That is the least of my concern. What would you pick?? Being able for them to feel some heat from law enforcement, or being able to tell them face to face that they are asses, and that you DO remember?

Resolved Question: Calculating "heating power"?
Here is the questions and my answer is below it: A home has 120 V service, the heating is provided via electric resistance heat. The overall resistance is 40ohms...So how much heating power will the electric resistance heater generate? Power Formula: P= E*I (E= volts,I= watts) I used I=R/E to find the amount of watts:.333333 Then I put it into the equation and I got 40....that isnt one of the options so...what am i doing wrong??

Open Question: Felt a crack in my knee....?
Yesterday in my gym class we had to play tug-of-war. The opposite team jerked the rope, and as I tried to receive my stability my legs locked(bad, I know). They jerked it difficult and when I went forward I felt something crack in my knee(almost like when you crack/pop your fingers). Immediately there was this almost numb pain running every throughout my leg. I waited for a few seconds before I got my bearings back and then limped off to the nurse. I iced it for the relax of class, and when I got home iced/heated it on and off. It only hurts when my leg is straight with weight on it(standing up, my legs straight, weight distributed evenly). My dad thinks I might have hyperextended my knee, but I'm not sure. We can't really afford to go to the doctor right now unless seriously sick. Of course, if this doesn't receive any better within the next few days then I will be going. I was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience or has any idea of what could have happened with my knee?

Open Question: Deep conditioning hair at home?
Hey! So yes I know you can go to the salon and receive your hair deep conditioned, but is there a way to do it at home? My hair is not damaged much at every, I rarely straighten it or use any heat tools but I don't want it to receive damaged like some of my friends' hair. Someone told me that you can just wash and rinse your hair with shampoo, put in your conditioner, but instead of rinsing it just put it up in a towel for about 15 min. then rinse it out. Would this work? If not, what will? Thanks for the help!

Open Question: I'm 21 . I have 2 job interviews . Which Option's Best?
First, I am living a few miles east of St Louis, with my parent's. Now assuming that they are both going to hire me, I have a second interview scheduled tomorrow at 4 pm for Valvoline Instant Oil Change, they start off at 8.25, probably part-time hours, but it is right around the corner from home, I can finish school and what not (Electrical Engineering, I have 3 years left to receive my degree). Then I also have an offer in Dallas for an Electrical Apprenticeship program that starts off at 13.09. I have no way of knowing if I am definitely going to receive that job, though it does sound promising. I don't want to go out there for the interview, not receive it, and arrive back to nothing with Valvoline either. Moving's not an issue. I am from SoCal so I know about the desert and the Heat, Dallas would not be a culture shock. I've lived pretty much everywhere in the contiguous United States. These are two Job offers, contingent on me passing a drug test, which is a walk in the park, for me at least. And while I understand the economy right now, I think you should realize that people with degrees aren't getting hired any faster. Secondly, almost every apprentice programs require schooling, that means college credits. The apprentice job also has a few projects already lined up for job security, and the economy has effected them, but not to the degree it has effected other companies and areas. Dallas is also one of the top cities in America that is hiring.

Open Question: Safe to use olive oil?
I came home to find the cover/cap removed from the bottle of olive oil in the kitchen. Apparently whoever used it last did not bother to put the cap back on. I estimate that it was left open for at least a couple of hours, if not longer. Well, my concern is ... I've heard about cooking oils becoming "rancid" (or at least the process being sped up) upon exposure to oxygen, light, heat, etc. So if the bottle was left open for a few hours, does that mean it will be rancid in the close future? Is it still safe to use the oil? It's practically still full. How long would it take for the oil to become rancid, and how long is it STILL good for?

Open Question: ford ranger heater isn't hot?
Ok, let me look if I can receive every this in. A couple of months ago, after being on the road continuously for over an hour, i noticed the temp. needle on my truck was sitting on C. About this time I noticed that my heat was rather chilly. The temp. gauge fluctuated from icy to mid range on the gauge the relax on the trip. I assumed I needed a new thermostat so i replaced. Had the same results. Temp. gauge wouldn't reach mid level and the heat just wasn't very warm. Next I did a radiator flush (it's a 1997 model and had never been flushed so i thought it was about time). I didn't read the directions on the flush, it said to drain the coolant, pour in the flush and finish off with water. I just drain out enough coolant to so the radiator would hold the flush and let it go. I drove the truck 6 or 8 hours, drained it and washed the rad. out real good and flushed the heater core as well. Much to my dismay I still don't have much heat. It takes the truck several minutes longer to reach temp. and forever for the heat to receive warm. Also, in normal traffic (there is around 12-15 traffic lights between home and work) the temp. needle will fluctuate from icy to mid range till it receive good and warm. So, any ideas? what's up? Should I flush it again? Is there any chance there is some wrong with the thermostat? Let me know what you guys think. Even though it's a mild winter here in Ga. I like my heat in the mornings!

Open Question: Car engine not getting hot and no heat from heaters?
Hi Started my car (2002 Zafira) last week in the icy weather, initially the radiator light came on but went off, I drove it down the road and it clip out twice when slowing down. Drove for about 10 minutes and running perfectly, but no heat from heaters. When I got back home the engine was getting hot (didn't overheat) and the fan was on but very noisy. Now when I start it the car it seems to run fine although the fan kicks in the engine does not seem to receive hot and I'm getting intermitent warm air, and a noisy fan. Anyone have any idea or what could be the problem. Thanks in advance

Open Question: Hot water radiant heat?
I am thinking about installing a 40 gallon (or less) water heater with a tiny circulation pump and pex tubing to heat the main level of my home. So my questions are these...would there be any problems with this setup? Would it be relatively efficient? Keep in mind i will be using anti freeze to prevent freezing. And the water heater will be separate from my hot water supply to my home.

Resolved Question: When children are raised in an environment of blame?
When a child takes the heat for his parents anger, what are the possible end results? For instance, a dad arrives home after a day of work and is mad about something, the next thing you know kid, kids or kids... one of them, or a mom, anything, really... does something to further annoy an already mad dad. Next thing ya know.... the child is taking the blame for whatever happened earlier, and this sort of thing continues until adulthood. What are the possible end results? There certainly must be more than one possible outcome, right? What, inho, are the POSSIBLE end result as the child becomes an adult? Are there certain "age" variables ( say, 29 vs 39 vs 49)? If you feel knowledgeable or feel like elaborating, here is another? What are the likelihoods of "possible" vs "probable," or is there any single outcome of every "possible" outcomes that is likely to be more "probable" From my possess personal experience, I grew up in a medium big family and every of my siblings are different from each other (it's weird), different interests, different ideological views, different everything really... So, regarding possible outcomes: Can anyone identify some of the possible outcomes as this child grows into adulthood? Thanks!

Open Question: I have a mental illness & its causing me to spend?
money i dont have and cannot afford.I divorced my husband eleven years ago-had to give up working cause of mental 7 physical illness and now on low rate disability living allowance and Income Support.I stupidly squandered away the 90 Grand Divorce Settlement within 9months on every manor of things including holidays,decorating our high rise council flat,cds,dvds,books,things for the home including expensive hi fi equipment.I had to then go to court after i'd spent every my divorce settlement to prove that i had squandered it every awaybefore they'd allow me to claim housing/council tax benefits,income support and disability living allowance. every through the years i've lived here with my fifteen year old daughter i've uncontrolably been frittering away every my benefits each fortnight on my possess pleasures on things i cant afford as i'm in no position to have them-things like electrical goods including stereos radios cds furniture etc and because of my out of control spending i cannot afford to put decent food on the table for us nor pay my weekly instalments on my household bills.In fact i havent been able to afford to but things like meat,fish,fruit and vegetables for at least ten years now and me and my daughter are suffering with malnutrition-we just live on junk foods which have no nutritional value at every. I cant afford clothing or shoes for us so we're walking around in shoes with holes in the soles of them and are down to our very last pair of shoes as i havent bought any since i was still married.Also we have only summer clothes-no winter clothing at every so we're freezing icy as i cannot afford to put on the heating very often as the gas is too expensive. Last fortnights benefits i spent £100 out of my £190 fortnightly money on a new hi fi and this past 4 months have spent £600 on sixties and seventies cds. My friends and elderly parents are disgusted with me-they said at my age almost 58 i shouldnt be wasteing money on things like stereos and cds & that i need to take them every to sell along with other non essential things i've been buying.Do you think they are correct in suggesting i sell it every cause i'll never have the money to buy it every back again-i'd have to do without and just have the tv and portable DAB radio to hear to for music.Trouble is doesnt every household possess a hi fi and cd collection these days-wouldnt i be a odd one out if i receive rid of my cds and hi fi's? my parents and friends said theres loads of people who like myself cannot afford to buy these things but i would have thought most people today would possess a hi fi and music collection. Have found out whilst talking to some neighbours today in my high rise council block that they havent got a hi fi and cds either as they arent in a position to afford those things so they just have a portable radio to hear music on-that they'd rather eat,pay the bills on time,clothe themselves and put food on the table rather than buy non essential items like hi fi's and cd,dvds etc Should i go out tomorrow with my daughters help as she isnt bothered about having cds and stereo-she thinks they're a waste of money-and sell our three hi fi units and every the cd and dvd collection plus other items i've squandered money on? Have spoke to my vicar who knows about this and he too said i'm in no position to buy these sort of things & i should sell them off and make do with our portable Dab radio and the tv for entertainment. He suggested i use the money from selling the goods to receive up to date with my bills first otherwise we could lose our council home-and then whats left put towards clothing and food. Do you every think i should in my situation be content with just having a tv and portable radio-what would you do in my situation?would you buy stereos cds and other non essentials or spend money on the bills clothing and putting decent nutricious food on the table? Do you Honestly think we'd be odd ones out for not having hi fi's and cds-do you have these things-do any of you just have a television and portable(maybe DAB)Radio for your entertainment? How can i learn to accept that once i sell these things i simply CANNOT ever buy them back again because i'm in no position to have these luxury items? Am i too old in middle age to want for ''Material Things'' like cd and dvd collection and a hi fi unit-do you think i need to forget about having these things in future because arent benefits meant purely for your living expenses like paying the bills,feeding yourselves,properly and whats left over putting by for clothing,birthdays and christmas etc-NOT for squandering away on silly things that teenagers would buy like a hi fi and cd collection? I expect you'll every be disgusted too when you read this-go on say it-dont you think i'm a PARASITE for spending my benefit money on non essentials? What would you spend your benefit money on as a priority if say you

Open Question: car overheated and stalled this morning. help?
I have a 2002 Hyundai Elantra Two weeks ago, I noticed my car was overheating so I took it to my mechanic. I got a new radiator, thermostat and ball joint. My mechanic said I was going to need a new water pump soon, but said it could wait a month since the essential work was $550, and I couldn't afford anything more that day. This morning I drove to work and noticed the heat wasn't working and the temp gauge was at the halfway mark, and it's usually a little below the halfway mark. On the way home, about a half mile from my home, it started overheating and getting up to the red mark.I was on a four lane road that doesn't have a shoulder and I couldn't tug over without being hit by someone going 50 MPH. About 3 blocks from my home is a red light. At the light, the engine shuddered and stalled and people behind me started beeping. I tried to start the car and it almost started. I tried again about 20 seconds later, and it started up. I drove the three blocks and then stopped to make the left into my driveway and the same thing happened. Again, it started up on the second try and I got it into my driveway and immediately turned it off. I opened the hood and there was white smoke coming from the engine. At this point I had to leave immediately to go to my 2nd job, which is walking distance, so I didn't check the oil or the coolant. Obviously I need to go back to the mechanic, but is there any chance that this is just the water pump and I didn't do any more damage (like blow a gasket) when the engine stalled? I know I should have let it chilly before trying to steer, but I was in a really unsafe place and was afraid of someone slamming into me at 50mph if I didn't move immediately. Also, is there even the slightest chance that, if the car starts, I can steer it to and from my morning job (5 miles each way) for the next three days if I tug over (taking a different route!) and let it chilly down as soon as the marker goes past the halfway mark on the temperature gage? The problem is I don't receive paid until Friday, and I don't receive paid if I don't work, I need the car to receive to work and I need the money from this job to pay for the repairs. So if I can't steer to work, then I can't pay to repair the car....but obviously I don't want to total the car by driving to work. Any and every advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Open Question: I've lost everything because I had a one night stand and abortion?
Theres no point in beating around the bush. You will every probably have the same opinion of me as I do of myself - which is disgust. I had a one night stand with somebody I worked with and got caught by getting pregnant. I ended up eventually telling my partner who at the time I felt unhappy with and told him I was leaving him (I didnt tell him i was pregnant, I was going to lift the child alone) He fell apart and I realized how much he cared, so without telling him I was even pregnant, I regrettably had an abortion. In the heat of the moment weeks later I ended up telling him. He told me he would forgive me and I promised I would somehow receive it right between us. Since then I have had no choice but to lie and deceive him further, it seems to just be a habit now. I have also moved in with him and his kids and I adore each other dearly. Now because I didn;t tell him I had my car valeted (he says it makes a mockery out of us because the other man had been in my car and because of the credit crunch we are experiencing) it was the straw that broke the camels back. He says he has arrive to realise I am a nasty person, a bad person and he is happier when I'm not around and he hates me for what I;ve done. He says I havent worked difficult at the relationship, just dwindled on like nothing happened. He says I have to receive out the home quick, and tell his kids I've got another job and am leaving him. I have nowhere to go, cant afford anywhere, I will lose him, two kids I adore, a dog I adore to pieces, a beautiful home, and I have already given up the relax of my life, so I have absolutely nothing. I'm so utterly depressed and just disgusted with myself and feel completely ashamed, he says I have shown my true colours. I really really need some help if I have to keep living this hell.

Open Question: Is it possible for my dog to be pregnant? ?
I have a lab she's not even 1 yet, and hasn't showed any signs of being on heat, no bleeding or anything, we keep her outside but tardy the other night we got home and checked on her and there was another brown male lab laying in her kennel with her, they were sleeping so we left them and then later we noticed the male trying to mount her so we brought her inside until the male left and then today she got out of the fence early this morning and we got a call from the pound this afternoon saying they picked her up with the same male brown lab from the other day, so is it possible anything could have happened while they were roaming together without her showing any signs of heat and if so would she definitely be pregnant?

Open Question: Opinion. Ps3 or Xbox 360?
My buddy and I got into a really heated drunk debate about which console trumps which. Which of the two consoles do you think is better and why? We made a slap bet on this so real answers please. deadline is 24 hours. then sick post how the slapping went ;) My opinion - Ps3 : overall much more powerful. has better graphics. extremely versatile. better home page. Wireless. Bluetooth. Blueray. Free multiplayer. Buddies opinion - xbox 360 : Simple design (Hes a pothead and constantly gets lost on my ps3). chilly avatars. A lot of people play xbox including most of our friends. Better controllers (I actually agree). and cheaper. Thats every he had... Fug it. dont have to say why. And really?... Xbox sux. I had two xbox's die on me before I switched to ps3. Never looked back

Open Question: can you get the electricity, heat, air, water, etc...turned on if you are in a home through adverse possession?
If you obtain a home through adverse possession, can you have the electricity, and every the other over things turned on? Also how do you claim the home? How do you know which bank it belongs to? Uuuum... Ed Fox... No, that isn't true at every. look up adverse possession. While you might be right about certain situations, you definitely are not totally correct.

Open Question: Planning On Getting a Guinea Pig...What Should I Do And Not Do?
Please answer in number order 1) I haven't asked my parents yet. How do I convince them? I made a page with information. What chores can I do around the home? What else can I do to prove I'm responsible? 2) How much would everything cost at 1st? Like 2 guinea pigs, Materials for a cage, bedding, and so on... 3)I know guinea pigs need to have a pal, and I'm planning on getting a female, but should I receive a male, and split the cage in 2 and only put them together when I'm playing with them, or should I receive another female? 4)I'm home schooled, can they stay in my room? I read they snooze when we snooze, and are active when we're active. I have worked and slept when my dog chewed his bone (very noisy). Also, It gets very hot summer, and very icy in winter. I keep my room heated in winter, and icy in summer, because that's where I work. So is it a good idea to keep them in my room? 5) I have 2 dogs. How do they handle dogs? When they're in my room, they snooze. They like coming in because of the temperature. Sometimes they bark and battle, but that doesn't last long because I hate it when they battle. How do they handle dogs? How can I make a cover for the cage? 6) How do I make a cage? I can't find supplies for the C&C cages, do how else can make one? How do I make a cover? 7) Does Emirates airlines allow them in cabin? If not, do they have a place in the luggage storage that's safe for them? 8) If I don't have Guinea pig shampoo, what else can I use to wash them? 9) Do they HAVE to eat pellets? Can't I just give them hay and fruits and veggies? 10) I don't know what hay they sell here. How do I know what to look for? That's every questions I have, Could you also tell me more? The person that helps the most gets chosen for best answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!! P.S. I'm 12. Also, I don't live in the US, so I can't go to walmart. What does alfalfa and timothy hay look like? Also, if I only start with one, she's gonna be lonely until I go to another country to receive another one. And that means working on the internet every day long to look if the plane allows guinea pigs in the cabin. So 2 is better. I don't want the guinea pig to receive lonely.

Open Question: how do you know if raw pork has gone bad?
I bought some pork yesterday afternoon. It was out of the fridge for about an hour and a half, then it was put back in the fridge at my moms home. When I went home that night, I took it with me, so it was out of the fridge for around 3 hours (but it was in a freezer bag along with a thing of popsicles). When i got home, the popsicles had nearly melted, I touched the pork and it felt icy but I'm not sure if it is unsafe since the freezer bag obviously didn't work that well. Its been in my refridgerator since I've gotten home and I plan to cook it up in a soup tonight in my crock pot so it's ready in time for lunch tomorrow. How can I tell if it's safe to cook? I will be cooking it for at least 10 hours, since thats how long I need to wait for the soup in a slow cooker on low heat.

Resolved Question: Air conditioning is not cold?
Air conditioning is not icy? air conditioning is not icy? i have a 96 camaro 3.8. earlier today i was driving and thought it would be a good idea to let the ac run for a little while. while it was quick to change from heat to ambient icy air, the air never really got colder than ambient temperature. when i got home i opened the hood and saw that the wheel thing on the end of the compressor (not the normal steer wheel, the end "clutch"thing) was spinning when the ac was on, and was not spinning when the ac was off, just as it should. when i turned the engine off, i found that the same wheel on the end of the compressor was pretty easy to twist. when i twisted the wheel by hand i could hear a faint gurgling noise coming from around where i imagine the heater core is, or something around that area. when i ran the car with its hood open (at the warmed-up low idle, about 650-700rpm), with the ac on and the wheel on the compressor spinning, after about a minute i cound not really feel any change in the temperature in the silver cylinder thats in the ac lines between the compressor and the inside of the vehicle (evap. canister?). it not really receive hotter or colder. what do you think is wrong? i dont know when the old guy i bought it from had last run the ac... please please please be able to tell me that it is just becasue the ac has sat unused for a while,and it just needs to run for a while at freeway speeds with the ac on or something like that... or maybe the car takes the intake air temp and only activates the ac when the ambient air is warm (it was 64 in the direct sun when i drove it today)? i checked the lines as much as i could look inside the engine bay, and there is no evidence of a leak at any of the connectors. i obviously cant look anything past the firewall, bu there was no sitcky residue or anything on any of the connectors in the engine bay. i also took off the cover of the valve thats rght before the upper connection to the air conditioning radiator (i know its called something else) and, using the head of a nail and a file, i put the head of the nail on the tio of the valve an just barely tapped the end of the nail until i could hear an extremely quick puff of air. im sreious it was many many times shorter than the puff of air you receive when you take a tire pump off a tire valve... when i finally did release a tiny puff of gas, i sounded like there was a lot of pressure behind it, more than a tire has. so there is in fact freon in the system. i really dont want to have an ac problem hunt... thanks

Open Question: I am writing this story and I need help. Just read the beginning and tell me what you think :) please?
Ignore grammar and spelling. that's the beginning of my story, it's placed in the 19th century England. It's kinda twisted but I wish you like it, just tell me what you think. If you want to know more or read more about the story, email me. :) The hot sun beaded down on my face, the overpowering odor of cherries stirred up my stomach, but it didn't matter. Out here was the only place women in heat and greedy men didn't hound me. I needed time to think about why in was here. I have to focus, I can't waste time on wine and parties. "well well well, lord Claude has found his way to my secret hide away". I should have known the queen of hearts herself would find me. "Victoria, you look as fine as ever. Thank you for welcoming me into your home. I am honored to be a guest at your return party". I didn't feel honored at every or welcomed. Victoria sat next to me. "You seemed uninterested in my return parties. Quite a shame, I worked so difficult studying abroad". Victoria looked me in the eyes, they seemed lively and wild but the burned a hole threw me." If you aren't here to like yourself, then why are you here? Perhaps you are looking for a different nice of entertainment". I couldn't take her any more, she's too naïve, too young. "Victoria, that entertainment is not what I want from you. Besides I am not going to betray my fiancee so quickly". " oh lord Claude you tease me". I couldn't handle her any more, as politely as I could, I stood up and started walking. Victoria huffed "your a sick sick man Claude, playing with young girls hearts and leaving them. Your hardly a man. Taking in that useless sister of yours. She isn't worth her salt, we every know she is your half sister". Her venom made me cease. "Not lonely that but an Earl who serves the queen to solve horrific murders. It's terrfiying to think you habent gone mad, and frankly how you understand and solve them is unnatural." Sick, am I? I turned back to Victoria and her wrist. "your right, it is horrifying to think I having gone mad. But you look, death is so beautiful, like when a child is born. No one knows whe that child has been and no one knows where it will go when it dies. What is beyond us is a mystery. Some leave in peace, some in pieces. Almost like what that masked killer is doing to his victims. Doesnt it frighten you, he could be close." Victoria start to breath heavy. I knew she was scared, which was good. I didn't want anyone, especially not someone as noisy and easy to fool like Victoria, to run around and become another victim. "your horrible, and your mom was right to kill herself. A child like you is no dream of women. Look at yourself, seventeen and already heartless and icy. You will die alone." You will die alone, those word stung and made my scars arrive alive. I gave up, no amount of word can equal that. "good bye Victoria, I will look you very soon." I left her there, that was every I could do. You will die alone. Those toxic word filled me up. There was no way around it, I was going to die alone. I won't, I can't, take anyone down my path. Not my princess nor my bride will suffer like I have.

Open Question: I was raped and now im pregnant.?
I told the police on my ex. He raped me for 6 months, I only got the courage to tell 2 months ago. The first time was when I was staying over in his home because our heating was off and it was freezing and we were making out and he put his hand up my shirt and felt my boobs, then I said cease and he said "do you know whats good for you? Then let me!" Then he took of my clothes and threw me on the bed and shoved his penis into me and I was crying and shouting, nobody was home and then he slapped me and I was crying. He did that 4 or 5 times every week and when I wouldn't answer his texts he would rape me even harder the next day. I finally told my mom and she told the police. I felt weird and I was puking and I felt different so I went to the Chemist and asked for a pregnancy test and it came up positive then I went to the doctor and he said I was 5 months pregnant! I noticed my belly was getting bigger, I told my mum and she said that I'd need a part-time job and that she can only help me so far. What do I do?? I went on to it today because my other account was deleted because I wasn't on it in the last 3 months.

Open Question: What's more expensive for the home; oil for heat and hot water or electricity for the same use?
I am intent on moving somewhere for $700 where they said that the rent includes every utilities, minus electric. Then I found out that the "includes everything", is essentially only the "icy" water, as their heating needs, hot water and heating of the rooms, is done with an electric system. As such I'm wondering if it were just cheaper with another home that is $920, but every utilities are included. In essense, knowing if electric is more expensive, will the $220 difference not really be a saving after paying for the electric? Any choice would be based on average usage.

Resolved Question: Just a hook-up or something more?
2 weeks ago I met this guy who just approached to me and we started talking and we ended up making out. He started talking to me through blackberry messenger every single day, but whenever he never asked me to go out or something, just really vaguely like "lets do something" but nothing concrete. I told him things we could do like go to dinner or something and he said that okay but we never did anything. Until he asked me to go to his home but I didn't agreed because I was afraid he wanted something else and I didn't. Over two weeks we talked every single day, flirting and playing through texts but that was it. That weekend he was going to hang out with his friends close my home, so he told me he was going to visit me and I agreed. We meet up in front of a coffee store at 1 am where he was parking. We talked, laughed and everything until things started to heat up. He asked me to peck him on the lips and I said I wasn't going to and we played around for some minutes were he kept insisting and I kept refusing but playfully. I was getting icy and so was he, so he told me to arrive closer so I did so he hugged me from the side and we were cuddling, flirting and teasing each other. He was trying to kiss me from the side but I just didn't give in. Then he said we should receive into the car because it was really icy, so we got into the car and we started talking until I brought up -the talk. In a summary asked him what he wanted or whatever, that if he just wanted a repetition of what had happened 2 weeks ago, to tell me I wouldn't mind but to tell me what he wanted.. so he asked me if I wanted to know if I was just another one, and he said no I wasn't but that we should let everything flow. So we ended up making out in the backseat of the car, I ended up on top of him and he was squeezing my butt which felt nice until he tried to touch my boob but I didn't let him. We were making out for like 20 minutes, until he realized it was 3 am already and I had to go and so did he, so I got off the car really quick and he drove me to my home. I just kissed him on the cheek and got off, but I believe he wanted a kiss because of his shock face when I pulled away quickly, I got off quickly and closed the door. Then he said like teasing "without slamming the door" and I just rolled my eyes at him and rushed back home. He hasn't talked to me since it happened which was this Saturday, so I'm guessing I was really just a hook-up for him and that's it? I'm really open to opinions and any commentaries, but please tell me!! We met outside a Club btw

Open Question: Please help with my pug :(?
Since yesterday morning, his breathing sounds more like wheezing and like he's struggling. His appetite is fine, his energy is at the same rate as usual. He's just usually really noisy and he hasn't been, he can still bark though. I was thinking maybe a day from being in the heat is why because I have a coal stove in my home and he was downstairs every day yesterday? I don't know what to do, but it's breaking my heart and I don't have money for the vet.

Open Question: HELP! What can I do to get my hair back?
I was born with fine hair, but I had a lot of it. In other words I was born with fine strands of thick hair. Now my hair is fine and extremely thin and lifeless. It's most likely from the heat I used and because I teased my hair so often to make it voluminous. When I was a baby, my aunt tried this shampoo on me that caused me to lose a lot of my hair. The hair grew back but fell out really easily too. I lose a lot of hair. What can I do to receive that big amount of hair that I had when I was a baby back? Are there any home remedies that I should work with? I no longer tease my hair and use as little heat as possible (I always use heat Protectant Spray by Tresseme).

Open Question: Help me decide what to do about my Dad?
HI guys, I haven't really been active on here in a long time but I'm at a bit of a crossroads in my life. My dad and I do not have a great relationship, he was always distant when I was younger and eventually left when I was 12 years old. The year leading up to this he would make untrue promises and never be home. Needless to say I have always wondered where or who he was with. Anyway he moved out and divorced my Mum with an agreement that they BOTH made. She would not take half of his business on the condition that me and my mum could live in the home I was raised in and that he would pay support until I was out of education. It was agreed that he would pay £200 a month while I was in term or below my mothers care. So for example he would have to pay on the 12 months when I was living at home and at high school but only the months I was at Uni terms when I lived in my flat. So over the years my relationship with my dad has gotten worse and worse, he met a new lady a year after he left who had a son around my age. My dad then went on to effectively pretend I was non existent and treated the other boy like his son. The only connection he had with me seemed to be the burden of paying child support. He would bring the boy when he had put time aside for me making it effectively worthless. So I came to uni in 2009 and ever since then my dad has been nothing but an asshole. He seems to think I ask for money, drink, do drugs, ignore my family and live in fantasy land being supported only by him. Let me be clear, I have never done drugs, work difficult at university, maintain a great relationship with the relax of my family and have a very strong committed relationship, which my dad hasn't even bothered to ask to meet her after 2 years. He has decided that because my behavior is so bad and that I am so ungrateful that he does not to pay the support he is legally bonded to. Now because I am over 18 it is up to me to take action. I can either let him away with it or take him to court. He likes to remind me I dont have a job, I understand this point he makes, I do try to find work but I am in a very important year of study and it is difficult to find one. I am making excuses here, when really there is none. But that doesnt mean he has to treat me like I am someone I am not. I dont ever ask anything of him because quite frankly Ive arrive to know better. My dad refused to buy me toys or sweets etc when I was a little boy, he wasnt trying to not spoil me he was completely detached from his role of a dad. My dad thinks that because he has paid this money so far thats his job done, he knows where I live yet never comes to look me, he knows my interests but never asks, he knows about my relationship and university course but I asked him in the heat of an argument what I study and where and he got both wrong. Bearing in mind we talk on the phone once or twice a month I was disgusted by this. Sometimes I dont even answer because It doesnt even feel like im talking to my dad, he talks to me like a lawyer trying to justify himself for not wanting anything to do with me. He claims he has no money and my mum bled him dry, yet he has an aeroplane and 2 cars. Also, the money that my mum supposedly took from him, well he was legally binded as per his signature on their divorce agreement to pay. He always tries to involve his relationship with my mum in our relationship. So hes refusing to pay it anymore, he thinks hes basically screwed my life up and its what I need to stand on my possess two feet. I think he thinks he is the only one who cares about me and that there is nobody out there that will help me through it. Effectively what he has done is nothing but show me how little he cares, its not like he gave me 200 a month as well as seeing me lots or offering to buy me a drink now and then THAT WAS every HE DONE. Now hes not doing anything. What a great dad. Also its worth mentioning the £200 was meant to increase by a tiny amount each year but we excused him from this because he was my Dad and I didnt want to put a financial restrain on him. Now I have had enough of him treating me like this. Do I let him away with it or not? What would you do?

Open Question: Is My Six-Month Old Kitten In Heat?
Last night, February 5th, I came home to find that one of my two 6-month-old kittens was acting rather odd. Whenever I said anything to her, she hunched down and stuck her butt in the air. She then proceeded to do a kneading-type deal with her hind legs and attempt to meow a lot. Then she would flip onto her back and roll around, even if it meant falling off the bed. She is not a very vocal cat, in fact the only time she makes noise (other than purring) is when she gets hurt. She has also began making a cooing sound like a pigeon, which before only the other cat could do it. Which is why I believe she is in heat. She is very lovable and affectionate, but once you cease talking to her she stops doing every that weird stuff, so I am unsure of what exactly is going on. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Open Question: My 4b hair is really damaged?
I have 4b hair. My hair has been natural for about 1 year and 5 months. My first month I went natural I couldn't decide what color I like so I colored my hair about 6 times in one month including lightening it twice and it's been color 3 more times after that. With permanent color at home. I also have heat damage on my ends from my months I transitioned so a few of my ends will not curl like the relax. My hair seems to be holding up, it's not extremely damaged and I know the best thing to do is to do a big chop again, but that is not an option for me yet because I need my hair to be long enough for me to braid it. Is it possible that I can just condition my hair really good and just transition my damaged ends out? Or should I just suck it up and big chop and just wear wigs.

Resolved Question: I think I broke my furnace?! NEED HELP!! Super cold.?
So, basically I think I broke my furnace today. During the morning when I'm getting ready to go to school, I turn up the heat to 74 degrees f. I'm sort of forgetful and I forget to turn it off. Question before I go into anymore detail: Is this a high temperature to have the heat on? Could this impose a problem? Anyway, now my furnace isn't kicking on. I turned it off and on and when I turned it back on I turned it to 66 degrees f. I went to go check, and the degree upstairs is now 61. It's an electric one and I live in a fairly new home. My home also has 2 thermostats, one for the upstairs (which isn't working) and one for the downstairs (which i'm guessing is working.) It's a fairly new home, about 5 or 6 years. Please explain this and the best shall win ten points and my gratitude. and use easy to understand things. SPANKS!

Resolved Question: What should I do with my life, is there any hope?
Since last August....my life has bee n quite difficult. I'm just sleepy of living, but can kill myself. I just have had a string of bad luck with no break, one problem after another. I have gone weeks at a time with no food. Last August my dad went to Prison and now I am stuck living with my immature physically and verbally abusive mom. I have to clean up her ****/ cover for her every the time. I just am too exhausted to take care of her ******* **** and mine. I wish I could just end my life. I pretend I'm glad, but I feel rageful and empty inside. Also, last August, me and my first bf of 5 years split up. It took a role on me. Most of the time now, I forget I ever knew him. My dog keeps getting fleas no matter what I do, my mothers cat and dog have fleas, but she does nothing about it. No! I have to deal with it. It's like she has no brain. Ugh I can't even say one thing without her ruining it with a dumb comment, its like she enjoys pudding people off. Oh and she makes assumptions every the time which just adds to my stress. Hehe, I think I'll die of a heart-attack young. I've asked her to cease, but its like talking to a wall. I am sleepy of caring. She makes me want to skin myself. She is like bipolar when it comes to her emotions and so emotional it drives me nuts. It's like when we walk, she walks super quick and I find it difficult to keep up as my legs are bad, well getting better. Just got of a motorbike accident. I asked her again and again to slow down, she does and then ******* walks quick again. She has surpassed my buttons. I'm pretty difficult to piss of, like really difficult, but she has made me so rageful I threw my motorbike. I moved from a nice home to a **** whole, not heating...I live in a basement suit that is in horrible condition and ice icy. I have only $100 for food for a month as rent is expensive. That's for two people. Usually some of it ends up covering my mothers bills as she is terrible with money. Me and her are polar opposites and i hate it. It gets so icy here that even with socks and winter boots, my feet are icy as rock...I am not exaggerating. How do people tug through the tough times? Is it hopeless? Thanks.

Open Question: Kidney infection! Help?
Hi, i'm a 17 year old girl. So, i'll tell you my story and hopefully I can receive some answers. (It's nice of long so bear with me :) ) It every started a few weeks ago, I would wake up with SEVERE SEVERE SEVERE pain in my abdominal area and my back. I had got in a car accident and was diagnosed with whiplash in October. I thought it could have been from that, so I went to a physical therapist. They said the whiplash would have never effected the abdominal area. Then, I knew it was serious. I missed that whole week of school cause I could barely move or walk. It was the worst pain i have ever experienced in my life, and also the first. I'm a hypochondriac, so I tend to freak out about this nice of stuff. I wanted answers. now. So, I tried to go to school one day, but the pain was horrible. I was crying and ended going to the ER. They told me I had a Urinary Tract Infection. I was worried, but they gave me pain killer and antibiotic and said it would clear up very soon. I was glad. I took my antibiotic twice a day. After one week, I ran out and the pain went away. I assumed it was gone and went back to my ways. Drinking caffiene, eating sugar and eating unhealthy. and drinking NO water. I rarely drink water (which is not good in this case) but I just can't receive myself to. I drank cranberry juice. And it did nothing that i know of. And it's gross.! D: A few days later, I kept feeling pain close my abdomen. It wasn't constant, just every so often. And i had remembered that the ER told me to go back after I take my antibiotics to make sure it's gone. So, I went to my gyno and they tested my urine. It seems that I still had it, so I took another weeks worth of antibiotics. These were stronger than the other one I had taken. Once again, I took those for a week and assumed it was gone. Again. So I started not to care. Until the other night, I woke up at 2 in the morning with an unbearable backache. I took 2 pain killers and tried to snooze. And I absolutely couldn't. The pain spread to my kidneys and abdominal area. I took several baths that night because it relieved my pain temporarily. I waited for my mom to wake up to tell her. She woke up, and I told her. We couldn't go to the doctor cause the weather was (is) horrible and it was a saturday. (yesterday) She called my gyno and got me a perscrption for a STRONGER antibiotics. She picked it up from the pharmacy. But while she was gone, i was throwing up. I kept throwing up. I took my antibiotic and let it sit in my body for atleast 2 hours before throwing up again. Because i kept having the urge. I threw up 5 times. That's usually a sign of a severe kidney infection. Once again, i'm a hypochondriac so stupid me, I go look up stuff that scares me half to death. I looked up some home remedies and got some. I took hot baths, used a heating pad, took medicine, etc. Not much seems to be working. I'm still in alot of pain right now, and i need answers. Do I have a kidney infection? I keep thinking it may have gotten worse cause I don't drink enough water. every the bacteria may have not flushed out of my system, so it could have spread to my kidneys throughout these 3-4 weeks. I tried AZO Standard last night but realized it only helped with urination. I have NO burning or stinging when I urinate. I tend to go a bit frequently than I normally would. But that doesn't bother me, besides everytime I receive up I am lightheaded and I black out. That's normally when I receive the urge to vomit. Nothing seems to be helping! I fear kidney stones and kidney failure. What should I do next? I'm currently still on the last antibiotic. (Started it yesterday) Should I receive more tests done? Has anyone else had this? Any tips on making the severe pain go away? PLEASE HELP. Thanks for reading, I know it was pretty long!

Open Question: How do I keep the blade of a two piece hockey stick from becoming loose?
I work at a sports store in Canada (Sport Chek) and recently decided to try and salvage two broken one piece sticks, (OPS). The two sticks were a Warrior Kronik and a Bauer Vapor X:40 and I chose two Reebok 6K Sr. composite right handed blades to add. I clip off the blades of the two sticks and used a heat gun to add more stick glue to the blades then added the blades into the non-tapered ends of the sticks. I let them chilly for 20 minutes and they both seemed fine so I took them home. I decided to try them out by shooting some pucks on a skill pad, but after taking some wrist shots and a few slap shots i could hear the blade starting to move around inside the shaft. Upon closer inspection I found that the blade moved from side to side (along the wider walls of the shaft, but towards and away from the thinner walls). I was wondering if there is any way to prevent the blade from moving around inside the shaft, any help is appreciated! *Note: I have access to a full pro store @Mikhail - As stated in the question, I did use stick glue.

Open Question: Is this an okay beginning for a novel?
Prologue Inside the Earth’s core lived whouls. Most average whouls had gleaming green eyes and olive skin which made them the most beautiful people in existence. They could withstand almost anything including the intense heat that could be felt in the Earth’s core. Although they were secretive creatures, they had the most modernized society. The hover car had already been in existence for 50 years, which then turned into a teleportation machine. Ultimately, they lived the best lives but if this were true, then why did the most powerful whouls have to battle for their lives? In the town of Fob, the only town in the Earth’s core, the whouls patiently awaited for their new leader whose fate they decided. Would it be there current leader’s son Oliver who had grown up in the limelight? Or would it be Will’s kids. The kids didn’t know that the town decided on their fate and that the competition barely mattered. They were trained to believe that the competition determined who’d survive. The way the competition worked was that the public’s least favorites contestant’s events would be made harder. If that weak contestant were able to survive, then the public’s opinion might change and the cycle started over again. This goes on for about a month until the final vote; the winner would survive the final physical competition while the other two would be executed during their event. The whouls loved the year of the competition as it provided entertainment and a new leader. Before the competition started, whouls placed their bets, although, most knew that Oliver would win. It simply came down to the fact that Will’s kids were weaker than Brian’s child. Every right-minded whoul knew that Will’s kids would not survive the competition but everybody liked a good battle, right? Chapter 1 Nora stared at her parents, wondering who they really were. Her parents always seemed peculiar to her as if they didn’t belong. Her dad was a sweet man but seemed as if he was hiding something from her and her brothers. Her mom, Patty, always seemed on edge like something life changing could happen any moment. Nora wanted to live adventurously instead of this monotonous, simple life. She was sick of staying at home for every vacation and seeing sadness in her mom’s dark blue eyes. She craved to feel soft sand in between her webbed feet and to hear the ocean constantly roaring in the background. Instead, she lived isolated and in the middle of nowhere. Why was she destined to live every child’s nightmare? She wanted to live her life to the fullest and fulfill a legacy. Determined to make use of her boring weekend, Nora rummaged through every possible inch of the home. Searching for something exciting and interesting, Nora saw something she had never seen before, a little knob in the wall. Curious, Nora stepped closer and investigated the peculiar bronze circle that was sticking out of the spotless wall. Just as she was about to tug the knob, her dad frantically yelled, “Nora, what do you think you’re doing? Your mom and I have told you countless times not to rummage through our belongings! Why can’t you and your brothers just hear?” Nora muttered angrily, “We do hear! We’re just sick of living this boring life that you think is acceptable. Andy, Blake, and I just want to find something interesting that would explain why you and mom are so odd.” Her dad, Will, let out a giggle and said, “You think that we’re odd! I don’t know what has happened to my sweet daughter but you are not her! I’m sick of you and your brothers thinking it’s okay to be disrespectful to us. It’s getting out of hand, Nora. Out of anger, Nora yelled, “If we’re so disrespectful, then send us away!” Her dad said in a serious tone, “Nora, if you want to be sent away, then I’ll enroll you in boarding school straightaway. Nora laughed and said, “You would never do that, Will. Even if you did, what about Andy and Blake?” Will raised his voice and said, “I’ll enroll them in boarding school too. Your mom and I need a break anyways and maybe it’ll tutor you kids how to be independent.” Too mad to talk, Nora escaped up the stairs to her room. She thought about the idea of boarding school and came to like the idea. If she went to boarding school, life would be a little more exciting. She wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells around her parents or look her mom’s sadness on a daily basis. After thinking about it, she loved the idea of being sent away with her brothers. Still in thought, Nora’s older brother Andy came into the room. Andy came in wearing his favorite skinny jeans and a white v-neck. He flashed his white teeth and said, “Nora, you need to arrive downstairs because mom and dad need to talk to us. I don’t know why but they seem serious.” Annoyed, Nora said, “I know why they need to talk to us."
