The engine starts fine but acceleration is sluggish and I have to gently press the gas petal to keep it from going dead when I am stopped at a traffic light or sign. This is not a constant problem and seems to happen in cycles. It is getting worse though. What could be the problem?

I have several recipes that call for a few tablespoons of "instant coffee". I was under the assumption that this means instant coffee granules right out of the jar. However, a friend tells me that I should make the coffee first and that the recipe would say "instant coffee granules" if I'm to use those. Am I right or is she?

Four days ago I developed a sore throat that lasted 2 days, followed by severe head congestion and now, on the 4th day, I have a 100 fever. Can someone tell me what to expect with this?

Also, on the first day I developed the sore throat, I visited the college infirmary on my campus for a poison ivy shot. Could I have picked up something there?

I know you are not supposed to take certain medications if you are taking Diovan and Crestor. I have sinus congestion and a severe head cold. What can I take?

This just started happening all of a sudden. When I click on my IE icon, the window opens for about 2 seconds and then closes. This isn't happening with Firefox. Any suggestions?

I wanted to prune some shrubs today but I need to disinfect my pruners because I used them on a diseased plant the last time. I just discovered that I'm out of bleach. Is there another household item that I can use for this?

For almost a year now, my back has itched almost constantly. There are no signs of a rash or inflammation. It doesn't keep me up at night and I only notice when I'm awake. Sometimes the itch is more severe than other times. At its worst, I get a tingling sensation. I've tried all kinds of soaps and lotions and nothing seems to help. Help!
