International prepaid card?
My girlfriend and I are going on a trip to Jamaica soon and we are trying to find a prepaid card to take with us. My bank is trying to charge me a 3% fee for every purchase and I'm not OK with that since I'll be using it constantly for about a week. Does anyone know of a prepaid card that we can use internationally and not pay a fee for every purchase?
2 AnswersCredit7 years agoIs now a good time to buy a Macbook?
I am looking to buy a new Macbook pro. Not the Retina display but the one with the CD drive. I am wondering if now is a good time to buy it or if there are plans to release a new one later this year that I should wait for? I have no idea how to tell the trends of computer sales and stuff like that so I'm hoping someone here can help me out with that. Thanks!
1 AnswerOther - Computers8 years agoMy Pug ate a chocolate cookie?
My dog is a pug and weighs about 19 pounds. He got into a package of Chips AHoy cookies and ate one. They were chocolate and peanut butter cookies. They aren't chocolate chip, the whole cookie is chocolate. They come in a pack of 2 and together they are 2.3 ounces so I'd say one cookies is about 1 ounce, which is all he had. It happened about 2 hours ago and so far nothing out of the ordinary has happened. I called the vet and she said to just watch him and try to get him to eat lots of dog food and drink lots of water to flush the chocolate out of his system and I've been doing that. How long should I watch him or what else should I do that I'm not doing?
4 AnswersDogs8 years agoKick someone out of my house in Georgia?
I moved into a mobile home in August or so of last year and it was owned by someone else. I bought the trailer from him December 7 and took full possession on January 1. There is another man that rented a room, too and I was trying to be nice and give him time to find a new place. He has known since December 7 that he needed to find a new place but he hasn't. His room is still full of stuff and I don't know legally what I can do to get him out and what to do with his furniture. There is no signed contract between him and I and there wasn't anything signed with him and the other owner either. I have told him to get his stuff out and he says he needs a week to have a place for his furniture to go, but he is paying 0 rent and was supposed to be gone by February 1 at the very latest. At this point he is BEYOND costing me money because his stuff being in there is preventing me from having my friends move in that are going to pay rent.
3 AnswersRenting & Real Estate8 years agoPrice gauging for water at mobile home park?
I recently moved in to a mobile home park and my water bill is ridiculously high. They said they charge me a base rate of $19 even if I literally use 0 water. After that they are charging me $10 per 1,000 gallons. They get their water through the county which charges a base rate of $10 and $6 per thousand gallons. So basically they are charging me over double what it should be. I asked if I could get my water through another company and they said no, I have to go through them. Is this legal? It doesn't seem like it would be because it is the only option they have. My water bill for a single person is $120 this month and that is extremely expensive for the little amount of water I use. Is there anything I can do about this? I already called the county water department and they said there was nothing they could do.
6 AnswersRenting & Real Estate8 years agoWhat kind of paint to use for a shower wall?
I am trying to paint a shower wall in a mobile home. The bathtub and shower isn't one piece like a whole kit that slides in. The tub is just installed and the shower head comes out from the wall. The paint on the wall of the shower is chipping and I'd like to repaint it. Is there a special sealant or paint I need to use so that the water from the shower won't ruin the wall? Is it possible to use regular paint and only finish it with a special sealant second coat?

4 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks10 years agoSlept on a pull out sofa bed now and now I have lower back pain?
On Friday of last week I went on a road trip and was in the car for about 6 hours. That night I slept on a pull out sofa bed and did so again Saturday night. Sunday morning we woke up and I had pain in my lower back only on my right side. We came home that day and were in the car for 6 hours again. Since then, I've had pain in my lower back. It is a dull pain sometimes, and a sharp pain when I bend down to pick things up. Before sleeping on that couch, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for me and I know I haven't pulled or strained anything because I haven't done any strenuous activity. The pain has been going on now for about a week and isn't getting any better. Does anyone know what this could be or anything I could do to help it? I have been pain over the counter pain medicine and it helps, but it doesn't make the pain completely go away.
2 AnswersPain & Pain Management1 decade agoHelp my Cat has grainy, bloody urine?
Our 9 year old cat had a urinary tract infection in January of this year and we gave her medicine to fix it. Since then, she ran away from home and returned after a two week break and we took her straight to the vet. They checked for worms and the results were negative, but lately we have noticed blood in her urine and stool. We took her back to the vet and they gave us medicine to give her because they thought her stomach might be upset from all the change in diet and told us to give her this pepto for kitties for 10 days. We are rounding day 8 today and we came home to find bloody urine in the floor in front of the litter box. It is not only bloody, but looks grainy as well and we are baffled as to what it could be. We plan to take her back to the vet, but we need advice on what it could be.The vets ask us if she is eating well and she is. They ask if she is active and playful and she is and they ask if she has been acting any differently and she has not. She acts perfectly fine all the time, but there is blood in her urine. She lives in a house with other outdoor cats, but she stays indoors. She is always kept in a room away from them except they do use the same litter box. What does this sound like? Can anyone help us understand we are very worried and scared about her. Thanks for your help.
4 AnswersCats1 decade agoHow to lock iphone 4 during call?
My girlfriend and I both have an iPhone 4, and mine auto locks when I put the phone up to my ear, but hers doesn't.

I know it has to have something to do with proximity settings, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help us?
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans1 decade agoCat is very tired after having been away for 2 weeks?
Our cat ran away from home and after countless fliers, phone calls, and shelter checks she came back to us last Saturday night. She has lost a third of her body weight when we took her to the vet on Monday, but otherwise she's healthy.She also got a Rabies vaccination and I thought that may be what was making her so tired, but it has continued past the shot day. She is sleeping almost all day and night and is not playful when she is awake like she used to be. Is it normal for cats to need to recuperate of sorts after being gone from home for so long? Could it be that she is just weak after losing all that weight? Everyone tells me I'm being paranoid, but I just want to make sure she is O.K.
5 AnswersCats1 decade agoAdvice on finding lost cat?
Our cat is an indoor only cat, but sometimes she likes to go out and lay in the fenced in backyard. Last week, we woke up to notice she was gone out of the yard and we couldn't find her anywhere. She's never left before and hasn't really shown any interest in doing so before.She has a collar with ID tags on, so we thought someone would call about her but they haven't. We have been looking at the local animal shelters and pounds to see if she may be there, but she isn't. We have been putting up fliers everywhere and posting on craigslist to see if anyone has seen her. We are starting to run out of options as to what we should do. I have heard that cats can return home after weeks of being gone, but I don't know if that really happens. Has anyone lost a cat and then found them? If so what strategies did you use to get them back?
