  • I had a heart attack 6 months ago and didn t go to the hospital for it. Is it possible I m okay?

    I am under the age of 21 and had a heart attack 6 months ago when a "friend" gave me a drug at a party.

    I didn t call an ambulance, but someone who had the same thing was taken to the hospital that night.

    Since then, I have exercised my heart up to over 180 beats per minute with no obvious trouble. I have had lots of caffeine on more than one occasion. I have had prolonged cardio exercise, as well.

    I have not seen doctors specifically for my heart attack, however I have had a physical and urine sample taken, and they raised no alarms.

    What do I do? I am worried about long term damage. I know I still need to see a doctor, but am anxious. What can I expect?

  • Am I having a heart attack or a panic attack?

    When I move my left arm certain ways, my inner, upper left chest is hurting. If I put pressure anywhere with my hand there is no soreness. The pain is faint when I do not move my arm. It's not an extreme pain, but it is noticeable and sharp. This pain has continued for over an hour. It does not feel like there is anything going to happen or happening.

  • Name of a movie that may be based on the Zodiac Killer?

    I can't remember the name of this movie, and I really really want to see it all the way through.

    I saw near the end of the movie, and having watched a documentary on the Zodiac Killer a few weeks before I instantly connected the two. In the movie the serial killer wasn't the Zodiac Killer, he had some sort of different name (it's not the 2007 movie). It looked like it was a 70's or 80's movie, maybe early 90's. It may NOT have been based on the Zodiac, but it might have been inspired by the events.

    From what I saw, there was a detective and this rather obese guy that the detective had been blaming for the murders. The detective had pretty much stalked the obese guy, becoming obsessed with pinning the crime on him. After one point, the serial killer ties up two teenagers while they're picnicking and stabs them brutally. One of the teenagers was the detective's child (can't remember if it was the male or female). After this the detective goes off the deep end, and his accusations get him fired. The case goes cold and he has no way of proving anything that he's claimed. The detective either loses his job or quits it. After so many years, he forges a letter claiming to be the killer to remind them that the killer is still out there (much like the real Zodiac letters, it claims a body count that is unproven, something like "me - 46 Police - 0".

    The detective tracks down the obese man one last time. The obese man, this time, beats the hell out of the detective and ties him up, throwing him in the trunk or back seat. He tells the detective that he was right all along and that the sad part is he'll never be able to prove it, as he murders a final victim with the detective's gun, but keeps his fingerprints off of it. The killer then parks at a public place (a police station I think) and runs in, claiming the detective has just killed the final victim. The detective runs in and murders the killer, only to be murdered himself by police in an attempt to stop him from killing. The movie ends shortly after, I can't remember if the police ever find out who actually committed the murders.

    I know this is kind of vague, but I don't want to say something like "it was DEFINITELY a police station that the killer runs into in the final scene" and it actually be somewhere else. Is anyone able to help?

  • What kind of electric guitar pickups are best for me?

    The second paragraph is my question, the first will be the situation; you can disregard the first half of this question if you don't need that much information.

    I've played guitar a little over a year. Though I'm by no means great, I plan on starting lessons in the next few weeks (I've learned everything from time signatures to vibratos to scales to chords to hammer-ons/pull-offs, the circle of fifths, even a few licks on my own). I hope my lessons will take me a little higher in my guitar as I'd like to perform in front of family and friends before 2015. I have 5 guitars; 1 acoustic, 1 acoustic-electric, and 3 electrics. All my guitars have been used and bought rather cheaply, and I have taken them to stores for repairs and putting together some different things. There is a used guitar I would like to get soon, it's a Warbeast electric. Being concerned about spending a few hundred dollars online, I have taken the liberty of reading some reviews on the guitar. Most of which are positive, but have honest feedback about the pickups being terrible, and the headstock being a little weighted, making it no good to play sitting down. I plan on having the guitar shipped to Guitar Center and picking it up there.

    Since the pickups are no good on the guitar I am buying, I would like to get pickups for the guitar that will, more or less, be my type. I enjoy a more thrash metal type of sound (my favorite band is Anthrax), but I want a little bit of versatility--not a lot, mind you, but just enough to where I can play it without distortion as well as with a pedal or two. I've never purchased pickups, nor do I know the first thing about them. I want to be able to play some really speedy licks, but also be able to tone down to, say, a nice slow opening like Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". What kind of pickups should I look for?

    I will call ahead to a local guitar shop to get the pickups and some new strings put on the guitar the first day of having it, so I'm not too worried about price as long as it's between $1 - $200, I have time to save up and get the right option. What would you recommend?

    PS. I would also like to change tunings on my guitar for things like "Walk" by Pantera (Drop D), though I will not go lower than a whole step down on all strings (DGCFAF)

    If needed, the specifics of the guitar are (as provided by the website:)

    "Construction: bolt on

    Body wood: basswood

    Top style: beveled

    Headstock style: SOB 3 to a side

    Headstock color: black

    Tuners: sealed die cast

    Neck wood: maple

    Neck radius: 12"

    Back of neck: satin

    Neck binding: none

    Nut width: 43mm

    Fretboard: rosewood

    Inlay: none

    Frets: 22 jumbo 2.7mm

    Factory strings: 9-42

    Scale: 25-1/2"

    Bridge type: tune-o-matic

    Tailpiece type: string-through-body

    Pickups: 2 black plastic covered BC Rich humbuckers

    Controls: 1 volume, 1 tone and 1 three-way toggle

    Hardware: chrome

    Finish: glossy"

  • Uses of the word "ambivalent"?

  • Colored Contacts: general questions?

    I am looking at purchasing pairs of colored contacts, however, I have a few questions:

    Do they actually affect your eyesight? I just want to get a pair to change my eye color, not to have better vision.

    Do they do any damage to your eyes? I don't want to get them if they're dangerous.

    Do they wear out? I looked at one site and it said contacts can be worn for up to 3 months. Does that mean I'll have to get a new pair every 3 months?

    Is it okay to wear two different colors? Other than the fact that most people wouldn't think it looks good, would there be any affect in wearing, say, a black contact in one eye and a white in the other?

    How much is paying too much for colored contacts and how much is paying too little?

  • Dayton Ohio Oral Piercing Under 18?

    My mom's agreed to let me get pierced. However, I need a place that will do oral piercings. The only website I could find with a FAQ said that they don't give minors tattoos or oral/sexual piercings, but there isn't a law against it. They just don't do it.

  • Looking for a 90s - early 2000s halloween movie?

    I remember seeing this movie a few times as a kid, and I'm pretty sure it was a 90s movie (POSSIBLY late 80s or early 2000s)

    The movie involved an old man dying from being crushed by a lot of pumpkins and then coming back one halloween. It was more of a kids movie, involving quotes such as:

    "Who's putting up the decorations?" "The zombies!"

    and a scene where a bunch of zombies sang out "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat"

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Do protein drinks/bars actually help build muscle?

    I've been drinking protein drinks and more water than I used to (not a lot more, but definitely better than just soda) and I'm eating my first protein bar. I exercise until I wear myself way out and then some (mainly crunches, sit ups and push-ups, but when Summer hits I intend on going out for runs, as well) throughout the day, and I've only recently started this routine. It's not hard to keep up with, but I would honestly like to know: Do protein drinks/bars actually help build muscle, or are they just complete crap? If they don't help with muscle, do they have any good effects on the body?

  • Vans Warped Tour Tickets...?

    My mom paid for tickets the first day they were on sale. (They were presale tickets) So we bought them, and none have come in the mail. Do they send an E-mail with the tickets to print out?

    If so, when should the email arrive? The concert's in August, but I'm giving my friend a ticket to meet him at the show and we probably won't be interacting a lot after school's out, so I kind of want them soon, if possible.

  • Snake Bite questions? Brands? Rings/Labrets?

    Okay, so I'm looking at snake bites. I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask, but I'll keep it short.

    How do I know what size piercings to get?

    Where can I find lip rings WITHOUT the balls on them?

    Labrets: I know what kind of labrets I want. But I want to be able to switch from labrets and rings. Is this possible?

    Do I have to tell what size piercing I want to who's piercing me?

    How long before I can take the piercing out and put in a retainer?

    Is it safer to get pierced with labrets and then switch to rings later? (Because I hear you have to sleep with the piercings for the first 4 or so weeks)

    After a few months/years/etc. if I take out the piercing, will it still seal up?

    I've looked online, but I want to find a store with a wide selection of piercings, not just generic ones that I imagine tattoo/piercing places have. Where should I look?

    Any and all help is appreciated! If you can't answer many questions, that's fine, but is there any advice you'd give me?

  • What are some good hardcore cover songs? (Screamo Covers)?

    EXAMPLES:

    "You Give Love A Bad Name" by Atreyu (Original: Bon Jovi)

    "Tik Tok" by Woe, Is Me (Original: Ke$ha)

    "Epic" by Atreyu (Original: Fait No More)

    I particularly like the "Tik Tok" cover because it gives the sound of a band like Woe, Is Me but it's the lyrical charisma of Ke$ha. I am NOT a pop fan but I love when screamo covers of songs.

    What are some good ones?

  • Looking for some new rappers to listen to... Suggestions?

    I don't mean Eminem or Lil Wayne or any of those guys. Not the popular stuff. I mean talented rappers with deep, meaningful lyrics. Sometimes Eminem will put out great stuff, but more often than not, I can't get into Eminem or Lil Wayne.

    I would also like to know of some rappers that rap really fast. I can't give any examples, I can't think of any off the top of my head, but the kind of rappers that rap as quick as possible to where you can hardly catch what they're saying.

    Any suggestions?

  • Questions about lip/nose piercings - Snake bites, spider bites, angel bites and stud?

    Okay, so I have a lot of questions:

    First, I'm not sure which piercings I want. I KNOW I want either double spider bites, angel bites or snake bites. Everyone's telling me go with snake bites, but I like how spider bites look, and double would be really really awesome. Then there's angel bites, because I really like how they look, too.

    Now, here's a problem: I'm 14. My mom will let me get my hair dyed and everything, so I'm sure she'd let me get piercings. But... Money. That's gonna be an issue. And I need to know a place to get them. I don't know any tattoo/piercing places. And I don't know how much they'll cost, but I don't think I can shell out that much, and I don't think my mom will be paying a lot for them.

    Back to the whole equation of which do I get. Now I really want rings. Similar to the ones in this picture http://bestuff.com/images/images_of_stuff/210x600/...

    I want to get the piercings all at once. What would the price be and what would be recommended by you guys?

    I am also wanting to get a nose stud. Nothing big, but I want to get one. How much would that cost?

    FINALLY: What would be the maintenance of all these piercings, what would I have to do to keep them clean, etc.? I'm not afraid of the pain, just getting them and keeping them clean.
