I'd go with the mansion too! :-)
Have you tried using iTunes software? I use it for mine but I think there's an alternative software available called 'Floola' which can sync your music, vids, etc. and it's free. Download.com has a lot of software reviews and tips/guides which can also...
Mine is about 2 years old and the battery still works but I think a lot depends on how often you use it--when it does need a new I have no clue how to change it, I guess I'll have to contact Apple lol.
It depends on what your personal interests are but some quick thoughts are: writing, music, after-school programs, art or something artistically related, photography, numismatist, do some volunteer work, gaming, dance, fashion, health and fitness, acti...
Caffeine/stimulants are in a lot of products and do have the potential for physical and psychological dependency and some studies report that the use of stimulants can potentially be hazardous to our bodies while some don't show a direct connection. We...
No problem! In my forensic psych class we discussed a lot of infamous cases and trials involving similar situations. Contrary to popular belief the insanity defense is rarely used in this country--the media always publicizes such cases and it can easil...
I think there's probably a much more complex explanation and it's possibly he could be suffering from mental illness whether it's chronic or acute. People can often try to scapegoat or diminish the crime(s) they commit (the latter as a sort of coping ...
I don't think there's really 'one' way to stay awake all night, I'm in college so I've pulled my fair share of all nighters and I can empathize with you. You can drink some coffee but try not drinking more than a few cups, drink plenty of water, keep t...
family guy, ER, project runway,the first 48--most anything on a&e or true tv. ;-)
From what you've said It's more likely dandruff--there are a few other dermatological issues that could possibly attribute to this such as psoriasis (not likely it is, however). Depending on where your geographical region the winter months can be very ...
Try alternating between heat and cold--that can really help alleviate pain in muscular problems of the lower back. Excessive rest can also cause further worsening of pain--so take it easy but don't do complete bed rest. OTC NSAIDs will also help, Ibupr...
Social work is an amazing job (I'm currently studying psychology to working within the public social service system) but the job depends on what level of care you want to provide. Clinical positions in social work generally require a minimum of a maste...
I think it really depends on the university's policy, sometimes they will go on a case-by-case basis while considering your entire academic record. Talk with an academic counselor or admissions specialist with the uni you want to attend, they should be...
In the US the federal programs can be researched or applied at www.fafsa.ed.gov. There's a vast array of programs that students can qualify for, from some aid or full financial aid. Best of luck. :-)
Each of these posts are right on target! Psychologist, Mental Health Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, Social Worker (Licensec/Clinical in the states) and many other similar fields. In the US the minimum to practice something clinical (counseli...
Well, I'm a steadfast democrat and all politics aside I think this issue is very important, especially in the global perspective. I do, however, think it's sort of hypocritical in the way some people don't 'practice what they preach'. I know that aware...
Until your 'stalker' crosses legal boundaries--it's probably something you'll have to work around, even though it may be very annoying. I do not recommend hacking anything, at any time, and if you have a problem contact your Internet Service Provider o...
It really depends on ones active health status and metabolism. UA's can provide positive results for as long as 6 weeks, blood analysis of drugs usually provides positive results for up to one week, hair sampling can last around 90 days or longer. Chro...
It depends on your current health status/metabolism and mode of testing. Generally, Clonazepam will show up as a Benzodiazepine. More importantly--if you're taking any benzo (or other drugs) illicitly I recommend you getting proper treatment. Clonazepa...
I'm not familiar with your situation but this is really a legal matter (even though I think legalities can often be unfair). You should talk with both parents/guardians and discuss your wishes--the family court judge should also be notified of your wis...
I know what the feeling is like, first-hand. A lot of people assume that whatever professional(s) they go to--they're stuck with them. You're the one getting treatment and you should feel comfortable and safe with a mental health professional during ps...
Oddly enough, my class recently had a discussion about this. As far as I know, and for most states/locations, drug testing mothers while in utero or post natal WITHOUT informed consent is, for the most part, illegal. The only state thus far to actually...
If you don't have a specialized store or retail store locally, try eBay, after all they have just about everything, lol. -S
The above post makes a good point--if your child is a minor (or even not) it's key for them to keep their profiles private and use caution with whom they add. Open communication between both the parent and child(ren) is key to happiness on both ends (b...
I know it's frustrating but those are very vague symptoms which can be part of a number of health related issues--the only way to definitively know is to see your primary care physician and please remember if the symptom's become too much for you to vi...
It's often hard for someone who is diagnosed with a disease or illness that needs long-term treatment (or even short-term) to cope with. Addison's is treatable and has a good prognosis. As long as you follow your physicians orders precisely (meds, diet...
lady6289 makes some good points. Personally, I'm agnostic, but you really have to explore religion and spirituality and somehow you have to find that balance of what you believe. Another post mentions being discrete and as much distaste I have for that...
If you're referring to disposable gloves you should use a lot of caution, many of the gloves on the market today contain latex or other irritants. Additionally, many folks are allergic to latex and other products which can potentially cause an allergic...
It depends on the actual severity of the infection. Generally, you can use a topical OTC antibiotic which will help. Alcohol, although a good antiseptic, can irritate a wound, as the above post mentioned. There is a slight risk for sepsis so you should...
Usually 10 inches to make an actual hairpiece. I looked around at the L-O-L website and they accept shorter hair which they can sell to offset some costs. Take care. :) -S
The preceding two posts are right on target. I've noticed in my search for a graduate program in human services or sociology that a solid liberal arts training in your BA program helps things a great deal. Funguy makes a really good point about your pa...
In essence, cutting or self harm can be a coping mechanism, albeit a negative coping mechanism. People have a number of reasons for cutting or self harm, the key is to identify stressors/issues and develop positive and effective coping skills. The actu...
Our bodies require a minimum amount of calories and liquid (water) each day to replenish and continue/maintain stable homeostasis--it's not a do or don't situation. After chronic or prolonged forced withholding of food and water, our bodies begin shutt...
Right on! I'm the same way, I've enjoyed reading some of the answers on your question--I'll keep reading it to see what others have to say as well. Take care. -S
I've always enjoyed hearing other peoples opinions on religion and spirituality--it can be such a sensitive topic. We had a discussion about this in a philosophy class and it got quite heated, to say the least. I've always had trouble with religion in ...
Nursing is very admirable (I personally completed a portion of nursing school) but yet especially demanding in subfields such as emergency or critical care nursing. The key to remember is that you will, at some point or in some form, have another perso...
LOL, I finally figured it out! Thanks for posting the question... lol.
There's a couple options--the toy manufacturer may offer a voucher for a new toy and an option to return the toy to them for proper disposal. If you would rather throw the toy away, I recommend you contacting your local public health department, normal...
Hybrivet Systems, Inc. has a line of home testing kits to check for lead--especially in light of the recent lead scare; the kits can test a number of items and are quite affordable. I believe you can buy direct from them and below is the website addres...
Well, as you've said, it can be hard. I think a lot of people are "afraid" of mathematics in general--but it's really not that bad. Pay close attention to your text and follow the formulas--it can be a -slow- process but if you take your time you shoul...
Contact the patient's primary care physician or health professional and ask if it's safe to administer medication via the j-tube. If the physician has outstanding orders that OK's meds to be administered there shouldn't be any problems provided you've ...
Brava, maddieruud, well said... or typed! ;-) -S
Most any domestic pet can be used in animal assisted therapy--with proper pet owner and pet training, animals can be used at nursing homes, pediatric units or hospitals, etc. Equine therapy is an emerging popular field of AAT as well. As for law enforc...
Chances are it's a security setting not allowing you to access whatever program(s) you want or need. If you're not the owner of the computer and the security settings are locked, you'll need to get the owner or whomever with the password to help you (t...
I'm sure it's possible but our bodies are different and we respond differently compared with others--stretch marks in one person, may never show up in another. There are lots of OTC lotions and ointments available but I'm not sure as to their effective...
Who you tell about this is completely up to you--I do recommend, however, that you seek mental health counseling to help you cope with things and move on to a new chapter in life. RAINN http://www.rainn.org/ is a good starting resource for you. If you'...
I love rock and metal, woo! My fav. band is Lacuna Coil, but I also like some others: Within Temptation, Ra, Mad at Gravity, Imogen Heap (she's not rock or metal but I still like her), A Perfect Circle, and loads of others. There are a number of sites ...
I know that some of the older computers had actual locks on them (ahh, I remember them when I was in middle school). Anyway, a lot depends on what operating system you're using or even the brand/type of computer you have. There are plenty of advisors w...
I can't attest to the status of marijuana and medical benefits--I understand that current studies are being done to determine benefits and risk-factors. Ultimately, those studies are very limited, to people with certain illness. The drug is illegal--an...
Both of those professions are very admirable! It's really up to you--I know it's a tough decision, but you'll be doing that profession (generally speaking) for an extended period of time. Try shadowing a teacher and a vet. and see what the jobs are lik...
