My mom has been taking the Parent Plus Loan money that's supposed to be used for my school expenses and has recently bought a new car for herself, her own apartment, and furniture for her apartment. Is it illegal for her to do this?

A carnivorous bird (feeding on both herbivore/detritivore and carnivore levels) has an energy requirement of 18 kcal/day. If it feeds in our ecosystem for nine months (270 days) of the year, how large must its territory be to ensure its dietary needs are met? Express your answer in square meters.

Assume that only 50% of the arthropods can be captured, and 75% of what each bird eats can be assimilated.

I've had a rash on my body for ten days now. Small patches of bumps appear on my body, mostly on my arms, shoulders, and back. I itch like CRAZY. The past few days, more bumps have started appearing and I've been unable to sleep at night because I'm so itchy. The bumps tend to come and go.

I've used Benedryl.. I've tried Benedryl cream, as well. It hasn't worked.

I've tried using Hydrocortisone cream.. It hasn't worked either.

I tried another allergy pill with loratadine. Hasn't worked.

There aren't any bedbugs, fleas, other random bugs that I could even think of.

I've washed everything I own in hypoallergenic detergent.

I'm going insane over here because the itching is CONSTANT and there are so many bumps. I don't know how much longer I can stand this.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I'm not going to be able to go to the doctor for two weeks.

Please help.

Here's the situation: My mom wants to apply for a Parent Plus Loan. I don't know how good/bad her credit is. Since my dad didn't put her name on any of the house stuff (mortgage, electricity, phone, etc.), since he's had a ton of late payments on it, would the credit check on my MOM reflect that?

So I had a little accident and now I'm having some wrist problems.

After it happened, that night, the pain from my wrist woke me up a couple times. It was like a burning, hot pain that radiated down my arm, about halfway to my elbow. It was swollen and it has a bruise on my pinky side.

Yesterday, it also felt weird to run it under water.

Today, the pain is less. No more hot burning pain, but there's a dull ache. It's not a constant ache, but if I do a lot of things that involve moving my wrist, it starts to ache again.

I have full range of motion, but like I said, if I do a lot of stuff, it starts to ache.

It's still a little swollen and bruised. There's nothing like sticking out or anything, no deformity.

It's tender still.

I'm wondering if I should go to the ER or not. Better safe than sorry, I know, but I don't want to waste time/money if it's just a sprain or something.

It's been about a day and a half since I injured it.

So once or twice a year there's this thing in Columbus where brides wait outside a wedding dress place for hours because dresses are extremely marked down here. It's a big event and I never paid attention to it because I wasn't interested in weddings. I only remember hearing about women getting in fights over dresses and people getting trampled. =P

Now that I'm engaged, I want to find out what this event is just in case I could get a discounted wedding dress here.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks. =]

In a couple years, I'll be applying for vet school, but of course, there's a fear of not getting in.

If I don't get into vet school, what other options are there? I still want to continue my education in the veterinary field.

My bra size is usually a 34D, but recently, my boobs have gotten bigger and I think I need to move up to a 34DD..

I usually find cute, inexpensive bras at Target, but they don't have DD's. Walmart's bras are ugly and uncomfortable.

Victoria's Secret has the cutest bras, but they are so expensive!

I think it's ridiculous to spend more than $30 on a bra.. Especially when I could get good quality bras at Target for $20 or less. It's too bad they don't have DD. =[

My wedding is going to have a rustic theme. Kinda looking for a place with a barn for an outdoor wedding. My fiance and I are going to be wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats and we'll probably ride off on "Just Married" horses.

We live in Ohio and doing searches on wedding venue websites hasn't worked very well.

If anyone knows a good wedding venue for what we have in mind, I'd love to know. =]

Thanks.

My fiance and I were looking for a wedding site that's located on farmland. We want there to be fields and pastures with horses.

Our idea is that there'll be horses and at some point, we'll ride the horses as part of the ceremony.

We're also going to have horse-drawn carriages.

If anyone knows any farm sites in Ohio with horses, let me know. =]

I'm trying to find movies where two people are in a relationship. One person has a health problem and doesn't want to put their partner through the ordeal, so they try to convince them to leave.

Anyone know of any movies like this?

I just want to know what kinds of things make love real.

My cats have been having all out brawls lately. There was an incident that happened a couple days ago and now whenever my cat, Bo, sees the other cat, Calie, she launches herself at Calie and tries to kill her.

I don't want to go into the incident, but now they won't stop fighting. Whenever Bo sees Calie, she tries to kill her.

I was thinking of getting the product Feliway to see if it could calm them down enough so they stop fighting.

Does Feliway work well to stop fighting cats?

Or should I just use the towel method, where I rub one cat with a towel and then rub the other cat with the towel so they smell similar? I don't know if that would work because Bo just SEES Calie from 20 feet away and chases after her.

I'd like to try Feliway or something like it while using the towel method, as well, just in case.

Is there another product like Feliway that calms cats that I can get? Feliway is pretty expensive.

Last night, one of my cats, Calie, got her paw caught in the guinea pig cage and it was so bad that she started crying really loud. My other cat, Bo, heard Calie making this noise and freaked out and started attacking her! They fought while Calie was stuck and both of my cats were screaming. Calie finally got free and managed to run away..

Last night after the fight, my dad gave them catnip to calm them down, but today, Bo keeps searching for Calie and attacking her. These fights aren't just playful; they are bad. Bo is going into full attack mode and there is much cat screaming during these fights.

Right now, I'm in my room with Bo and I won't let her out, but I can't just keep her locked in here all day.. She'll need to eat and pee.

But I know if I let her out there, she will deliberately SEARCH for my other cat to attack her again..

If she keeps doing this, my mom was talking about having her put down.

I don't understand why my cat is all of a sudden going into psycho mode. These cats have grown up together. It's been about 13 years that they've been together. They were both kittens when we got them, Bo from an aunt of mine, and Calie from the Humane Society. They used to love each other and sleep together years ago, but now I can't let Bo out for even a second or she'll try to kill my other cat..

What's wrong with my Boo? What should I do?

I want to sell my textbooks to a site called TextbooksRUs.com.

And I was wondering if there's a certain time where I'll get more money for them than others?

My nails have small indentations and ridges and are kind of bumpy.

I've seen many products that look like nail polish bottles that claim to strengthen nails and such.

Is there something that I can put on my nails to make them more smooth and not have ridges?

There's a brand of sparkling juices that're in bottles that make them look like wine.

There's no alcohol in them.

Trying to figure out what brand this juice stuff is for a picnic I'm having.

I've heard that about 30,000 people a year wake up during surgeries because anesthesia fails.

Why does this happen to certain people and not others?

I want to know what kind of spider bit me. And don't tell me to see a doctor. As if I can afford that!

I bought a box of hair dye and I can't dye my hair myself..

So I'm wondering if I take the dye to a salon, like Great Clips or something similar.. Will they dye it for me?

If so, does anyone know how much it would cost if I'm supplying my own dye?

Serious answers only, please.
