  • Xbox One and PS4 compatibility?

    I wondered if Xbox One can play Xbox 360 games and original Xbox games as well and can you use the Kinect with it? As well can a PS4 play PS1, 2 and 3 games as well? Thanks.

  • Bedbugregistry.com has been erased?

    I used to use bedbugregistry.com to check out a building or an area before I move to it but the last few attempts over a couple weeks now haven't worked. It seems like all the reports for anywhere in Toronto have been deleted or something. Does anybody know of another reliable site to check and see if a particular address has had issues with bed bugs and/or other pests? Thanks.

  • Duration of stomach bugs?

    My daughter vomited the night before last and also yesterday morning but after resting up she was feeling perfectly well and didn't vomit for more than 24 hrs. Then tonight she vomited before bed again,

    I was wondering if this is typical with stomach flu or stomach bugs to act up and then disappear for more than 24 hrs and come back? Or is there something more serious going on that I should have checked out?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am concerned about that big gap in between being sick.

    Thank you.

  • How can I get rid of my entomophobia? Free counseling?

    Please help! I have had entomophobia (fear of insects) since I was a child but it has gotten increasingly worse over the years and is now the most extreme it's ever been. I'm petrified, paranoid and completely obsessive. I can't walk into a room without scanning it in depth for insects and if I see one I panic, especially if it was sort of hidden. My heart races, I wheeze, if it's particulary large or scary looking I'll cry and I get a feeling like I'm going mad. I can't touch them so killing them is hard but I won't leave it alone either. Once I see it, I can't take my eyes off of it because if I lose it and I can't find it again the panic gets worse. If the opportunity arises for me to kill it I will usually whack it with something like a shoe or an empty box and it's overkill. For example, out of nowhere a large moth flew right in front of my eyes and stayed there like fluttering in front of my face and I was just screaming this primal scream and backing up and I grabbed my daughter and ran down the hall. She was a baby at the time and needed fed so I sat down on the couch with her watching all around me constantly for the moth. I was wide-eyed and completely panicked with adrenaline flowing. When I saw it flying across my coffee table I literally put my baby down on the couch and picked up a flattened box from the recycling (large box) and I looked so crazy my baby started crying. I was screaming and when it flew low enough to the ground I put the box over it quickly and started jumping on the box and maniacally screaming and I kept smashing it for several minutes, every inch of the box. When I saw it was dead, I felt an extreme sense of satisfaction and relief. Insects frighten me like nothing else on this earth. Recently its gone beyond obsession I never open windows and only open the front door when I need to. I spray my apt religiously with Raid and I constantly am looking for them. My husband thinks I'm nuts, my friends don't understand the panic involved and so they just laugh thinking I'm ridiculous and I need to grow out of it. I cry a lot and I have terrible dreams, it's only getting worse. The other night I saw a very large, fat spider in my bathroom at around 1am and I panicked and cried and tried to smash it but it just kept dodging and running and then it disappeared around the corner of the bathroom and never resurfaced. I stood outside my bathroom til after 2am with a swiffer mop in my hand that I had used to try and kill it. I never did use the bathroom I just held it in. I know it's irrational and all that but I NEED HELP. PLEASE PLEASE somebody help me get over this. I can't do desensitizing, especially not on my own. The panic is so severe I get palpitations and I fear a heart attack. I can't afford a psychologist or counselor even on a sliding scale and have no ins. coverage for this. OHIP doesn't cover it. No doctor will give me a referral as none of them seem to take this seriously. This is affecting my life and my personal and professional relationships. I am afraid it will get worse.

    If anybody knows of any real help that I could access for free in my community (Mississauga, ON), I would really appreciate knowing where I could go or who I could speak to. This is consuming my life, and I fear I am passing this phobia on to my daughter. Please help me.

  • Can someone please help with my school assignment by answering a few short questions?

    I am currently taking a World Religions course through the Independent Learning Centre. I am required to interview a person of any faith to answer a set of questions that I have drawn up. There are 13 questions in total and it would be incredibly helpful if somebody of any religious background could answer the questions for me as briefly or as detailed as you like. I live in a very rural area and have no family or friends that are religious. I am seeking a person who practices their religion, whether it's Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism or anything else. It would be a lifesaver if somebody could please help me out. Here are the questions:

    1) What is the religion that you practice and how long have you practiced this faith?

    2) What is or are the God or Gods associated with your religion?

    3) Is there a particular ritual for prayer?

    4) How often should one pray in your faith?

    5) What religious code of ethics are you supposed to live by?

    6) What are major milestones in your faith?

    7) Can you tell me about a celebration you might have for one particular milestone in life? For example: marriage or coming of age?

    8) What symbols and/or rituals are of particular importance to you, and why?

    9) Are there any sacred texts associated with your religion? If so, what are they?

    10) Do you have your own personal creed that you live by?

    11) Are there any rituals that you observe in your day to day life?

    12) What impact has your religion had on your life?

    13) If you could leave me with just one final thought on your religion, what would it be?

    Please help...thank you so much!

  • Is there something wrong with my computer or with the websites?

    For the last several days I have been trying to get on to listsofbests.com and allconsuming.net. I frequent these websites but I recently had somebody configure my computer to a new router and he made some changes to things in my comp but nothing major. Anyway, every time I try to load the site I get ERROR 324, HTTP INTERNAL SERVER ERROR 500, ERROR 502 BAD GATEWAY OR ERROR 503. Occasionally I'll get on to the website but then within a couple of clicks I'm stuck and when I refresh I get one of these error codes. I looked up fixes for it and I tried rebooting my modem and router, rebooting my comp, registry cleaner, clearing my browser cache, clearing my DNS cache, re-installing Google Chrome and trying other browsers such as IE. Nothing has worked. I thought it was a problem on their end but when I checked websites that let you know if a site is down or not every site says that these 2 sites are up and running and working fine. So how do I fix this problem? Or are the websites wrong and these sites are really down? Can't be down for a whole week though so i'm inclined to think it's me. P.S. please be as simple as you can in your instructions to repair this problem as I really don't know too much about computers Thanks.

  • I know my husband will never change, so what can I do to change myself?

    We've been together almost 6 years now and we have a child together. My husband has always had issues with alcohol. It's gotten pretty bad in the past and we recently broke up but are now trying to reconcile. I realize he does love me and he is trying and I know that he's not perfect and he never will be and I know he won't quit drinking and that he'll never change. He doesn't drink everyday mb only 2-3 times a month, but when he does he's awful.

    He ignores me all the time if I call his phone or send him a text and I hate that. Right now, we're still living apart and he has moved back in with his parents but we're trying to save money to get a place together again. My problem is that I know he's ignoring me because for the last 6 years the only times he ignores me is when he's drinking and it is a friday night after all I know what he's doing. It bothers me that he doesn't even have the decency to send me a text and say he's out having a drink or something and he loves me and will call me tomorrow etc...or something like that. Nope. Just flat out ignores me and doesn't pick up if I call...like I don't exist. This really stresses me out because I know he's lying to me the next day when he says his phone wasn't working or he didn't drink anything. (He's a terrible liar)

    Anyway, since I can't change him, my question is How Can I Change Me? What can I do so that this doesn't bother me anymore. I'm just sitting here stewing at the moment over the fact that in the midst of our reconciliation he is still blowing money on alcohol and ignoring me and then will lie about it afterwards. What can I possibly do? I've tried distracting myself but it doesn't work. Are there any techniques I can use to calm myself down? Please help cause I can't be stressing out like this anymore.

  • How can I get my 3 yr old to eat what I give her?

    I have a 3yr old daughter who has a neurological problem and she can't talk yet. She can't tell me what she wants to eat she can just sign to me that she's hungry. I've tried every food item I can think of and it never seems to be what she wants. I have to make 5 or 6 different things and mb she'll take a bite or two of one of them and the rest she will reject by yelling. Sometimes I've just finished making an item and she will stare at it and refuse to eat it but then 2 secs later sign to me that she wants to eat. I just don't know what to do. It's so frustrating that she barely eats everyday and I know that it's hard for her too cuz she can't talk and tell me what it is she does want. How do I get her to eat what I give her? How do I get her to understand that I can't keep guessing. If anybody has any suggestions please anything would be helpful. I've tried to make mealtimes fun, I've tried calmly taking meals away when she refuses them and waiting til the next meal and she will continue to not eat at the next meal. She has a very strong will. The communication barrier is a serious issue since she can't tell me the reason y she doesn't want something. I can't assume that she just doesn't like the taste of everything, it could be other things too like it bothers her stomach or she has something else in mind but she has no way to communicate these feelings to me. I'm just at the end of my parental rope so please help me feed her.

  • What kind of insect is this?

    I just moved to a new apartment and we noticed an insect we've never seen before. I'm pretty sure it's a type of beetle. Quite large, black and yellowish colouring on the wings and very prominent long legs. Very slow bug, very dormant. It makes a sound almost like an electrical hum when it flies, and it smells like cut grass or dirt. Has kind of a flat head and buggy eyes...no picture available. I am curious to know what type of beetle this is, we live right on a lake if that helps pinpoint it.

    If anyone knows, I would love to know what these giant things are lol.

  • Question about quality furniture?

    I am shopping around for a new coffee table/end tables set and I have a couple questions about quality. I can't afford an all wood piece of furniture I just don't have that kind of money. I would like to know which is the best quality between the following:

    There's one table set that is made of Birch Solids/Ash Veneers and has a dark cappuccino finish...don't know if that's decent quality. I need furniture that is easy to keep and clean and that won't chip if i put anything on it. I have a 19 month old baby and I need something resistant to the wear and tear of a toddler.

    The other table set says it's made of Hardwood Solids and Select Veneers...not even sure what that means. To be honest I don't even know what Veneers are.

    Any help would be appreciated in trying to differentiate between shotty furniture and decent quality that will last at least for a couple years before my daughter destroys it lol.

    Any suggestions? I would love to know the ins and outs of these two options if any knows?

    Thank you

  • Question for doctors preferably or persons with medical training?? Urology?

    I have been having a problem for 2 months now and due to being jerked around by a crappy clinic in my area I am still awaiting diagnosis/treatment. I only just got a referral to a Urologist but the earliest appt. is in 4 weeks. So I'd like to know if anybody has any suggestions as to what's wrong with me. I have been having to pee very very frequently and I can't sleep through the night without getting up at least 4-6 times. It's very irritating...I also occasionally have stomach pains and cramps. I'm not pregnant for sure. I'm 25 yrs old I had bloodwork done and my cultures was normal and the original meds given to me didn't work so I know this is beyond a standard bladder infection. My CRP level is very high at 25.8 just over 3 times the maximum norm for me. Any ideas?? I'm very worried that I have a serious problem. Is this more likely an irritable bladder or a kidney problem that would be treatable or could this be something more serious? I will provide more info if needed. Thank you.

  • Birth control pills and home pregnancy tests?

    I have been on birth control pills for several months now. I'm on the week where you don't take any, when you're supposed to get your period. Usually by now I've gotten it and it's very heavy...but so far this week all I've had are little traces of blood...like so light that it's barely noticeable. I missed a couple pills in the pack but took them as soon as I remembered, and I've never had a period this light before. I feel like I have cramps though. My question is if I do a home pregnancy test will the birth control pills screw it up? I'm unsure how it works like if I'm on bc pills and I do a home pregnancy test will it produce a false positive? or will the test be accurate? I'm very concerned...any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • What do I do about an invasive grandmother?

    I have a 9 month old baby who is perfectly healthy and happy and I have my boyfriends' mother who is a nightmare. She constantly ignores what I tell her and just does what she wants. There are some weekends where she will watch my daughter for a night if I have to work or if my b/f and I want a night out together and she just won't listen. For example I told her how to make the bottles and she watered them down instead, I asked her to feed her vegetables once in the evening when she is the most hungry...and she feeds her all throughout the day. Several times I have asked her to stop slathering my baby in baby oil including in her hair and then sticking her in long sleeves and pants because the apartment is quite warm...and she still does it and my baby ends up with a heat rash. She also puts fruit juice in her mouth and I really don't want that. No matter how many times I tell her not to do it she just assumes that since she had 10 children and this is my first child that she is right and I am wrong. I have asked my b/f to tell her and he has, sometimes right in front of my face and she ignores him too. If I gripe about it to my b/f he gets soooo freakin defensive about his mother that he says we just shouldn't bring her there anymore. Please help, I don't know what to do about this anymore. I'm either going to offend her or my b/f or both...is there any way to deal with this without offending anybody and how do I make her understand that it's my baby and it's my way?

  • I'm nervous about speaking to a psychiatrist...?

    I am under a particularly large amount of stress lately. I am not getting enough sleep and I have an 8 month old baby that can be quite a handful sometimes especially since my boyfriend works afternoons and it basically feels like he's never there. I have nobody else to help me. I lose my patience very easily and it's putting a strain on my relationship. I feel sometimes that I'm just losing it...I have no way outlet or way to control my stress and I would really like to speak to a professional. The reason I am hesitant is because my boyfriend is concerned that the therapist will be concerned for the safety of the baby or something which really isn't an issue. Should I see somebody and how can I put my b/f's fears to rest? As well if anybody knows where I could see a therapist in the GTA that would be helpful...somebody covered by OHIP preferably. Thank you
