I need to have my hair re-highlighted. Unfortunately, I dont have the extra cash to go to to my normal stylist. I have been having my hair highlighted blonde for quite some time. I have dark blonde hair to begin with! I am looking for some tips on what products to use. I have a skilled friend who is going to do the process for me. I would like to use the foiling system since that is how my stylist normally does. Also, if someone could tell me what exactly I need to buy from Sally's that would be wonderful! Thanks!

I have had two children. The youngest is 10 months old. Both of my babies were large and I gained nearly 50 pounds with each. We are officially done with having children and I would like to get in shape. I want to look and feel good again. I weigh between 165-70 right now, I am 5'7.5" tall. I would really like to get down to 140 (or less). Is it possible to lose the flabby baby belly I have? What is a good goal per month for me to reach? I would love to hear some success stories of other Mommies.

I am in serious need of a term paper for my Early English History class. I was just wondering if maybe someone out there had something that they would like to share with me. I buried myself this semester with 16 credits. I have 2 kids, work part-time and have a husband. I am super busy and let this assignment creep up on me. T

The topic is pretty open. It just has to be about English history up to 1689. People, places things are all open. Needs to be approx. 3500 words.

Please someone help me!

My husband and I are attending a themed Christmas Party. This year is "It's a Redneck Christmas." Everyone is supposed to bring a gift that is some sort of accessory for the gift exchange. I have a couple ideas, but would love to hear what others have in mind. The gift cant cost more than $5.

I visited a pluralist Hindu Temple last week. During the puja members of the Temple twirled a gold tray of candles around. What is that called? And also, near the end of the puja the priest offered a water substance the the members drank and then splashed on their heads. It tasted spicy and floral-ish. What was that? Thanks!

A friend of mine throws a super fun themed Christmas party every year and this year its a "Redneck Christmas." I have been trying to come up with ideas for my husband and I. What would you wear if you were going? Keep in mind we live in MI, and it's cold right now! THANKS!

Also, we have to bring an "accesory" gift (max.$5) any funny/cool ideas for that?

I have a Caucasian friend who is married to a bi-racial man (African American and Caucasian.) They have two children. Their oldest is a little girl. She looks very much bi-racial. She has a beautiful medium complexion, dark hair and dark eyes. The youngest is a baby. He looks full Caucasian, blonde hair and blue eyes. The Mom is a natural dark blonde with blue eyes and the Dad is dark hair and green eyes. He has a light complexion. Whats the likely hood of two children, from the same parents to look totally different? Do you know of two kids of bi-racial parents that look nothing alike? Or does this sound a little fishy?

I really want to get a new style and really like the way the deep side swept bangs look. My question is this-I have parted my hair on the side for YEARS and my hair just naturally doesnt fall on my forehead. Do I keep the part on the same side and just go deeper or do I work it from the other to get the desired look? HELP!

I have a very loving 3 year old, who is very passive. The other little boys his age at daycare a wrestling around and being "boys" while my little boy just kind of plays by himself. I know periodically he plays with them, I just never see him being very aggressive (not necessarily in a bad way.) He loves doing boy things like basketball, baseball and things like that. When it comes to meeting new kids, he pretty much climbs my leg. It takes him a LONG time to warm up. I am a very social and assertive person so it's hard for me to grasp the idea of having a "shy" child. Is it possible that once he gets older he will grow out of his passivity? I don't want him to be a bully, I just want him to be more assertive/strong.

Does anyone have advice for a social butterfly Mom who has a super-shy passive child?

We are taking a cruise that leaves from Port Canaveral...where do you recommend we park? We will be bringing two vehicles. How much is it to park at the dock/peer? Are there any hotels that allow week long parking if you stay with them? Any information is greatly appreciated! THANKS!

My husband and I have cruised with Celebrity and Norwegian before and will be cruising with Carnival in two weeks. To put it pretty frank, my family doesn't like to dress up. And I am always concerned that we wont be dressed appropriately for the dining area. It's not really me I am worried about but my husband and father-in-law. For those of you who have cruised with Carnival, more specifically on the Glory, any input you may have on what you feel was the norm while sailing would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! And I am also curious how the food was-what kind of variety did they have?

My daughter was born on Valentines day and will be turning 1 next February. I have started to think about what I would like to do for her. My son (who is 3) has had some really cool birthdays and I would like to continue that with her. I have a question though, would you do a Valentines/Love themed party? I was also thinking of doing a "Winter One-der Land" theme because we live in MI and it will be still cold here. I need some input on how you would handle this very special birthday!

How does the early history of Indian civilization differ from that of the riverine civilizations of China, Mesopotamia, and Egypt?

If you can shoot me in the direction, I can work from there! THANKS!

Recently, I have been seeing a lot of women who have been dressed very modestly (basic dresses) and are wearing a cover over their hair. The men they are with are regularly dressed. The kids, if a little girl wear dresses but the males look "normal." Who are these people? I know they aren't Amish or Mennonites because of the way the men are dressed, and its evident they are married! Help solve this mystery!

The bee was HUGE! We live in Michigan and were having yard sale at a friends house. She has A LOT of big trees! The bee was about 3" long and it's body was as big around if not bigger than a McDonalds straw. It was hauling off a half dead moth that was the same size as it was! My husband and I tried to capture it, but it got away! What was this GIANT thing?

Can someone tell me the name of a good movie that is "historic and set in a non-western culture". I need to watch a movie like this for a history class! A few examples the teacher gave are: Gandhi, Last Empereor, Cry Freedom and Hotel Rwanda. I was hoping to find something that wasnt listed so she wouldnt have to read 30 papers on the same movie! Thanks in advance!
