  • 1995 Dodge Dakota Sport Overheating Problem?

    We've checked the coolant, replaced the thermostat (2x), replaced the water pump, replaced the fan clutch, the temp sensor (which broke when we replaced the thermostat ^^;;) and its still overheating. Not intensely overheating, but running hotter than it should be, and isn't really safe for road trips which is what we primarily need it for. My fiancée is at his wit's end, anyone have any ideas?

  • Otherwise healthy cat has sneezing fits?

    My fiance and I adopted a kitten from his mom (who has well over twenty cats in her house, so god knows what all this little guy could have been exposed to...) about a month ago. He is four months old now. We noticed when we got him home that he wasn't feeling good, and looked like he had an upper respiratory infection, so we took him straight to the vet. We got antibiotics (ammoxicilin) and some other meds for ear mites and treating his runny eyes. We gave him all of the meds for the recommended amount of time, and he's really perked up. He's extremely playful, happy, and loving.

    BUT... for some reason, he's still having daily or bi-daily sneezing fits, and he is expelling some pretty large boogers. About ten minutes ago, he shot one out that was about 5x the size of his nostril, and it left his nose bleeding from the trauma of expelling it.

    What could be causing this, and what can I do to make him feel better temporarily? (I intend to call the vet ASAP, but they aren't open till Monday, and his condition really isn't emergent.)

  • Free resources for medical coding and billing?

    So, I've applied for a Medical Billing and Coding position, and I have received a response e-mail. In the posting, the employer said that they would prefer someone with certification and experience, but it wasn't necessary, so I figured what the heck.

    In their response e-mail, they asked me to examine a situation and its accompanying claim and benefits, and determine if everything was done correctly. In the e-mail, the employer said " even if you do not have prior coding/billing knowledge, resources are available on-line and through coding references which will help you with this exercise"

    I'm getting a little over whelmed by all of the links out there, and I'm having trouble finding anything of value. Does any one know of any good, reliable, resources I could use to try and figure this out?

  • Teeth ache after eating or drinking something cold?

    In the last 5 or 6 years, I've been noticing that my teeth have been growing increasingly sensitive. Now it is to the point that i can not eat or drink anything really cold, such as smoothies or ice cream.

    Has my enamel worn away? Will toothpaste for sensitive teeth help at all?

  • Help me find a couple nice, cheap outfits for wedding functions?

    My best friend is getting married in June, and I'm her Maid of Honor, meaning I'll need dresses/outfits for the rehearsal dinner and the bridal shower! I'm not very fashion conscious, and I am in college and very broke, and thus I need something extremely affordable. I would really prefer something comfortable too. The bride wants to keep everything a little on the casual side.

    I was thinking this: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7323&...

    with a nice pair of peep toe wedges for the rehearsal dinner, but I'm not sure. And I'd be lost at where to begin with jewelry. Don't have any idea for the Bridal Shower...

    Also, I will need plus sizes, as I'm currently running 18-20, depending on brand.

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  • Help finding a good case with a belt clip for my 5th gen?

    I can't seem to find any good cases for the NEW 5th gen iPod nanos that have belt clips. I hate arm bands, and everything i seem to find fits the 4th gen, but not the 5th.

    Any suugestions?

    Would 4th gen cases fit 5th gens? I doubt I'll use the camera at all, so if it just covers the camera, that doesn't matter...

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my iPod Nano (2nd gen) to my computer? (Please see details)?

    Ok, so here's whats going on:

    I keep all of my music in iTunes on Computer A, as it is an older computer and I don't want it hogging my hard drive on my gaming computer. Computer A suffered a hard drive crash, and I had to re-install windows, and everything on it was lost.

    I have two other computers, Computer B (which is my gaming computer) and Computer C.

    There is irreplaceable music on my iPod Nano, including several CD's that were stolen last winter, that I don't particularly want to lose, but I want to add new music to it.

    Is there any way to get the music OFF the iPod onto either Comp B or Comp C? I have read about transfer programs, but I want a SAFE program, because permanently losing the music would be devastating.

    I'm a Windows gal, so dealing with Apple products is a bit of a challenge for me, and even iTunes makes me want to rip my hair out. If this is going to be a long or involved process, I would appreciate detailed step-by-step instructions.

    Thanks to everyone that answers!

  • Is there a listing of publishers for erotic/sensual novels?

    I'm in the process of writing a light fantasy sensual novel, and I'm looking for a good listing of publishers that would possibly be interested in purchasing it when I'm finished with it.

    I have found a handful through my own research, but if there is some kind of listing, similar to the annual "Writers Market" magazine, that would be wonderful. I've searched Amazon and Google, and so far come up empty.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • Kenmore Series 80, stopped working. Can anyone help my diagnose the problem?

    I had a load of clothes in this evening, and when it went into the spin cycle after the rinse cycle, and it began to make a noise like it was unbalanced, only much much worse. It sounded like it was going to go through the wall bouncing back and forth, and then it just stopped.

    Does anyone have a clue what this could be? Neither me or my fiance knows much about washers, so we're afraid we'll do more harm than good if we open it up..

    Thanks in advance.

  • I need to learn Spanish FAST?

    Ok, so, my college recently implemented a requirement for all students seeking a BA degree have to be profecient at the second year level in a foreign language. Since I recently changed my major, this applies to me.

    The problem is, I only have one year of school left, and I don't want to stick around an extra year just to take one Spanish class a semester. I can, however, test out of the classes.

    I have been considering purchasing Rosetta Stone, but if there is a faster, better way, I would really like suggestions. If I can at least test out of the first year, I should still be able to graduate on time.

  • Shakespeare fans, any ideas for a research paper?

    I'm taking a Shakespearean Theatre class for my English major, and we have to write an 8-10 page (double spaced) research paper exporing a theme in one of the plays we have covered, or a theme that spans across two or three plays. I'm really drawing a blank on what I should explore, and what plays I should use.

    Just for reference, this is the prompt found in the syllabus: "A course paper of 8-10 pages (typed and double-spaced with 1” margins and 12 point, Times New Roman font), focusing on a single work or on multiple works sharing a similar theme, will be due the last class of the semester. It is expected that you will consult some of the critical material surrounding your selected play(s) and that you will incorporate at least three secondary sources in your paper."

    I can find references and do the research quite easily if I just have an idea. But I'm just... stuck.

    The plays we have covered are: Richard II, 1 Henry IV, Taming of the Shrew, The Merry Wives of Windsor, As You Like It, Hamlet, The Tragedy of King Lear, Macbeth, Coriolanus, and Cymbeline.

    Anyone have any ideas for a theme I can explore?

  • Midnight Sun Fanfic? Please read...?

    I'm thinking of writing a continuation of Midnight Sun, picking up where the draft on her website left off.

    My main questions are, would anyone have an interest in it, and would Twilight fans think it is offensive to SM? I mean, with the way she took the leak so emotionally hard, I don't want to do anything that could be construed in a negative manner...

    I need to start writing again, and I think a fanfic is a good way to get my mojo going again before I start working on my original stuff again.

    Thanks for answering!

  • Pop up, virus and spyware problems? PLEASE HELP?

    Recently my computer has been suffering from relentess pop ups, mostly advetising and phishing sites. Even when I'm away from my computer (since I have internet access that is always connected) these sites pop up without any provocation, even when I'm out of the room! Most of them bring up the download prompt (asking me where I'd like to save whatever malicious file they're trying to get me to download), and I cancel them, but thy still keep popping up.

    I've run countless adware, spyware and virus scans, and every time it seems to catch something new. I continue to be diligent with it, but I don't know why I keep having these issues.

    Also, when I start Windows, a system error message comes up saying that "The Server Is Busy. This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy." I have no idea if this is a genuine message or if its something a malicious file is generating.

    Also, something I've noticed as I was typing this up, my keyboard is very unresponsive. I don't know if this is part of the problem or not, becuase it seems to be isolated in my browser.

    Anyway, I'm at a loss for what to do. Any suggestions would be welcome.

  • I'm having problems running WoW... Computer savvy people please read?

    I installed World of Warcraft on both of my computers about a week ago, and I'm having problems running it on one of them, and I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose exactly what the problem is so I can remedy it.

    Occasionally when I start the game (usually when the computer's been off for several hours and I don't run any programs before WoW when I start it up) I don't have any problems. But more that 80% of the time, I start the program, log in, and then my computer restarts itself.

    Its an older computer, so I'm thinking it might be the processor. I've also had problems in the past with faulty cooling fans, but I fixed those.

    Any one have any ideas what would cause it to restart?

  • Workman's Comp Question, Dont know what to do? (See Details)?

    This question is slightly involved, but me and my fiance really need to know what our options are... so please be with me.

    My fiance works for a landscaping company, and on 6/28 he was trimming branches from overgrown trees. He and his coworkers were loading the branches onto a trailer hooked to the back of a pick-up to take to the dump, and pretty soon the trailer was full. My fiance's supervisor told him to step onto the trailer and use his weight to compress them so that they could fit the last of the branches and wouldn't have to take two trips.

    This is against the company's saftey regulations, but my fiance did as he was told. He tripped, fell off the trailer and broke his arm.

    His boss told him that he couldn't recieve workman's comp, becuase the accident was his fault. Normally this wouldnt be a problem, but his personal health insurance is running out on 7/25, and the doctors want follow ups and physical therapy.

    Does he have any rights? What are our options?

  • Nail seperated from the nail bed? How can i help it heal?

    I got acryllic nails about a week and a half ago. My boyfriend and I were goofing off last night, and i was trying to push his hand away because he was tickling me, and the acryllic nail went into the palm of his hand. He pushed back on my hand, not realizing he was pushing on the nail, and the acryillic flew off, and my finger started bleeding.

    I put ice on it for the pain and swelling (maybe for 10 minutes) and i looked at the injury and noticed that my fingernail had seperated from the nail bed about halfway to cuticle. I cleaned it throughouly with rubbing alchohol and wrapped it in bandaids to keep from jostling it around in my sleep. When i woke up, I removed the bandaids and recleaned the wound.

    From what i could see, the nail bed seemed to have rebonded slightly with the nail, but it felt like there was pressure under the nail. So I squeezed a little, and pulled back the tip of my finger and out came a clear liquid.

    Is this normal? What can i do to help it heal?
