Round hole in the wall by the back door?
I have a 1997 manufactured home with a round hole on the inside wall and outside wall by my back door. It has plastic grates attached to the inside and outside wall with a screen of some sort in it. I guess so water would not get in. The small plastic grill grates are broke on the outside and I noticed during a storm water seeped into the house. A coouple of questions.
What is it used for? Can I block it up? Keep in mind the dryer vent is no where near it.
Thanks!
3 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoI have a judgement listed on my credit report, but collection agency was removed?
I have a judgement listed under the judgement section of my credit report which I want to pay off. I noticed that they removed the collection agency's information under the "accounts in collections" on my credit report, but the judgement still shows. Why did they remove their name from the collection section? This is a newer judgement. I've had a judgement in the past that lists as a judgement and in collections. Does that mean they've stopped trying to collect the debt? I didn't think collections items get removed for 7 years if they are unpaid? It has not been that long. What is my next step? Contact them and try to pay the judgement even if it doesn't show as "in collections"?

I make green tea every morning and I fill up my pitcher with cold water and 6 fresh green tea bags and throw it in the fridge for the next day. It steeps fine and tastes like tea. What's the purpose of heating up the water first?
1 AnswerNon-Alcoholic Drinks9 years agoHad a fever for a week and now a rash with swollen glands?
My friend had a fever for about a week with night sweats and chills. 103.8 was the highest temp he had. After his fever went down to a mild one of 99.8, he had swollen nodes in his neck. He was put on antibiotics for pharyngitis and sinusitis. After 2 weeks from the start of his fever, he's developed a rash on his legs and hands. He also has a big swollen gland in his groin. No fever now. He has chronic psoriasis and they recently took him off of his psoriasis medication. He's 38 and has been on it since he was 14. It came back with a vengeance, plus his mother just passed away a few months ago and he was really close to her. He's been depressed a lot as well. Right now, he's got the rash on his hands and legs which the rash on his legs were painful for a few days (the bumps are small and hard to the touch), swollen node in his groin and complains of right hip joint pain and mild headaches. What could be causing all of these symptoms? I just don't understand what's going on with him. I'm trying to convince him to go to the emergency room, but he wants to wait until Tuesday to see a doctor.
2 AnswersInfectious Diseases9 years agoBoyfriend problems not wanting to promise not to cheat?
I've been dating someone for 4 months who I suspected of cheating on me, but I couldn't prove it. I presented my feelings to him. He said that he didn't cheat. I said I guess I just want you to commit to me. Promise me that you would never cheat on me. I said I promise to you that I would never do anything to hurt you. He said, "I cannot promise that to you, because everybody makes a mistake." I said what if we got married like we planned to in a year. He said, "Well, I will commit to you then." What do you think about his response. It just makes me even more suspicious of him.

4 AnswersUnited States9 years agoCan I use my partner's EBT card?
My life partner was on EBT benefits and he passed away in his sleep. He signed up for them when he lost his job due to an illness. Am I entitled to use his EBT card, or do I need to cancel it? It would sure help my situation out at least for a while. He just renewed it in January for 6 months.
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics9 years agoHow long does a heart pump if it is removed from a body?
We were watching a horror movie today (The Midnight Meat Train) and one of the victims got their heart ripped out and it was still beating in the bad guys hands for quite some time. Does the heart continue to pump once removed outside of a body or does it stop right away once removed? Might be a morbid question, but I'm just curious if that is totally hollywood or not.
2 AnswersMovies1 decade agoA friend of a casino addict banned himself. See below.?
My friend is a casino addict and he started going to counseling for his addiction. At one of his sessions, he found out that he can ban himself from all casinos in Iowa. He decided to go and get himself banned. I know he did it, because I went with him for support. Anyway, the next day at group one of the people said that he could go back and not get caught. He most likely wouldn't get caught unless he won a jackpot.
Now I'm afraid he is back to gambling again. How likely is he to get caught? I'm sure the cameras will catch him eventually. But realistically will he ever get caught?

8 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoPeople from Canada or England please answer about your health care system?
A lot of heat is going on in the United States about a health care change. The change being voted on in our government is to enact a health care system similar to Canada's and England's. There are a lot of people opposed to this change here in America. My question is: Do you like your current health care system, or hate it? One issue that causes alarm is how long of a wait a person with a serious illness has after diagnosis for treatment of the disease. For example, one TV ad said that in Canada a woman was diagnosed with cancer, but she was in waiting for 6 months before she was able to get treatment and her cancer spread and she passed. All I know is our health care system right now is very expensive for uninsured people and can be expensive for people who are insured.
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhich Stephen King book do you like better between these two: Bag of Bones or Lisey's Story?
I just got through reading Bag of Bones and I loved the story a lot! I read that if a person enjoyed reading Bag of Bones then they would also enjoy Lisey's Story. Well, I'm about 1/4 of the way through Lisey's Story and I think all of the characters are insane and Lisey herself is kind of shallow. However all of the characters in BoB hooked me into the book.
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoHow do I get rid of these haunting memories?
When I was young child all of about 10, my father passed away. After that my step mother became very depressed. Her emotions were very rocky. She would be angry for a while, happy for a while. Sometimes she would even abuse me. I remember one day I had an accident and peed the bed while I was asleep. That next night my mom made me wear a diaper and sleep on the floor, because I was too old to ruin her mattress. This is one example. Anyway, as an adult just when I think I'm happy now and have left the past behind me, it creeps up again and I get anxiety attacks or stressed out over it for about a week. Sometimes I even have nightmares about mom and I fighting. Will I always have this, or will I ever be free of this? I've tried to do that several times, but the memories keep coming back to me in my head.

5 AnswersFriends1 decade agoI dreamt the other day of flying to California (Which I never have done before)?
The first plane I was on was huge, and I ended up not being able to find my seat and also I lost the two people I was travelling with. I'm not sure who they were exactly, but I knew them. Then we landed and I had to transfer to another plane with little time to do it. By the time I got to that plane it was taking off, so I missed my connection flight. What does this dream mean?
