I just won a local pageant. Like many people out there, I'm going through some tough times economically, so I'm trying to think of the best place to find some cheap gowns for all of the formal events I have to attend. Any suggestions?

Also, do you think it would be possible to find a designer or some company who would rent me some dresses, and in turn I would rep their name/store?

Thanks in advance!

Tonight I noticed there's a small (about penny-sized I suppose, but not that raised) lump on my left armpit. It's painful and a bit hard if I press it, and it's skin-colored; not red or anything.

I'm also beginning to experience a sore throat. I also have two mouth sores; I've been getting these periodically since I was little, but they've been happening more and more frequently.

Back in March, I had a hard lump behind my ear that subsided in a month. It wasn't too painful when I pressed it.

So does anyone have any idea what this painful lump on my armpit is?

I am about to move into my new apartment in less than a month. My old mattress back at home is over a decade old, so I'm in bad need of a new one. I really want a full-sized one. What price range should I be looking at? What type of mattress should I get (springs, tempur, latex, etc etc)? I'm 5'4" and 108 lbs... what firmness is best for me?

I am an Art History major. While I am really passionate about art, the job market sucks.

I've been considering accounting. I've been working as an accounting clerk this summer, and it's been allright. I'm good at it because I'm a fast worker yet I'm also very meticulous, and I am very ethical. The thing is, I'm afraid that accounting is going to be so monotonous. I don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life dealing with numbers and in front of a computer all day.

Any accountants out there, please tell me what it's like! If I decide to go into Accounting, I'd have to transfer out of my current college because it doesn't offer an Accounting major, so this is a big deal for me. I need to know for sure whether this is right for me.

I had unprotected sex on July 20th (about 2 weeks ago). I'm supposed to get my period on the 7th because my cycle is usually 30 days long. However, I experienced spotting for two days about a week after having sex. It's almost the 14th and I still haven't had my period. The longest my cycle has ever been is 35 days and even then, my period would be late. I took a pregnancy test last Wednesday and it tested negative. Still, my period isn't here. Do you think I'm pregnant?
