Why does it feel like something is in my eye whenever I blink, but there's nothing there?
For the past couple of days now I've gotten the feeling that something is in my right eye. I've looked several times and washed it out. I used eye drops (just recently I started trying allergy relief eye drops) But drops only give temporary relief. I can go several hours without this feeling in my eye. Sometimes I can ignore it and the feeling is gone for a while, but then it suddenly comes back. A feeling that something's under my top eyelid near the corner. I don't know if my eyelid is irritated or it's something in my eye I can't see. I only feel the sensation when I blink or roll my eye around. Nothing is red to show there's an infection. Everything looks normal, but this sensation is annoying. I don't wear contacts. How can I cure it?
2 AnswersOptical4 years agoHow do I keep from posting to my blog on Tumblr?
I don t have experience with tumblr, but I wanted to post a prompt on a prompt page on tumblr. I was signed in and clicked on post and created my prompt, then clicked post again. But it only went to my blog and not on the page I was trying to post it to. So how do I post stuff on a tumblr page without it going to my blog where I don t think anyone will see it? Can I move my posts off my blog and put it on the page I wanted it to show up? Step by step instructions appreciated .
thanks.
1 AnswerOther - Internet4 years agoWhy does my cake overcook on top, but isn't cooked inside?
I recently tried cooking a lemon cranberry cake. I've tried the recipe before with success, but now it's not coming out right. I've followed the directions. The only change I made was doing dried cranberries instead of fresh.
3 cakes have come out with a hard top that breaks apart when inserting a toothpick or knife. The middle is gooey when it shouldn't be. As a whole the whole thing just falls apart and isn't edible. I made sure not to over mix. I have used a toaster oven since I don't have a stove at the moment and it turned out fine the first time. I do have a new toaster oven since the first stopped working, but it's in great working condition. What could be the problem?
Any help would be great.
6 AnswersCooking & Recipes4 years agoWill my saved content from my ps3 console be available on a new ps4?
My ps3 stopped working and I had asked if I would lose my dlcs and online friends if I got another ps3. They told me I wouldn t lose them since it s all saved under my account. If that s the case, would that mean I could still keep all that content, the dlcs, my online friends from ps home if I ended up buying a ps4 instead of getting another ps3?
I feel doubtful my dlcs will be on there even if it s all purchased under my account, but how about my online friends?
I hadn t looked into a ps4 yet, but I had this question before deciding whether to replace my ps3 with another ps3 or not. I heard various replies about transfering content from the ps3 to the ps4, but since my ps3 does not work at all that s not possible.
Appreciate it
2 AnswersPlayStation4 years agoWhy do some of the sites on Google Chrome have this issue 'This page is insecure (broken HTTPS).'?
This has been happening on and off lately. Before it righted itself. On some sites, the 'http' is crossed out in red with an exclamation mark in a triangle before it.
Upon getting further details I get:
"This page is insecure (broken HTTPS." and
SHA-1 certificate
The certificate for this site expires in 2017 or later, and the certificate chain contains a certificate signed using SHA-1.
What's it mean? Is this something on Google's end to resolve or on mine?
Thank you
2 AnswersGoogle4 years agoLooking for retro clips of Cartoon Network's western hand puppets Haas and Lil Jo from "High Noon Toons"?
Back in the day when Cartoon Network showed a lot of classics like Hanna Barbera cartoons, they had these hand puppets Haas and Lil Jo that hosted blocks of the cartoons and kind of acted as early bumpers for the network. I've only come across very few promos of them on youtube and I'm looking for more. I know they had little skits on the beach, and driving a car like on a road trip, etc.
I'd be grateful if you could find a link to such clips and/or images. I haven't been able to find much :(
thank you
3 AnswersComics & Animation5 years agoHow do I fix the lag on Just Dance Now site for the mobile game?
Recently I discovered the Just Dance Now mobile game and curiously I downloaded to app to see if it would let me connect to my computer to play since I don't have a wii or ps4 for the game.
I found it worked, sort of. Problem is, video on the site lags at points, where it pauses and acts as if it's buffering or something. And sometimes the movement instructions in the lower corner get overlapped or don't show up at all, or there's a bad lag between that and the music. At least for one song it played smoothly enough. I know I don't have the best power for my internet, but is that truly the case. Below are my specs. I wondered if I could fix this lag with this computer as I can't afford to get a better connection now.

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games6 years agoIs there a name for this particular door in the house?
I'm working on a story and I was checking to see if there's a name for this particular door in a typical house. Like you have the screen door first then the second big door following that you would deadbolt with the chain. Is there a particular name for that 'big' door? Or would it just be the front door. At first I thought the second 'big' door was called a storm door, but I don't think it is. thanks

1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs6 years agoIs this pain really coming from my new tooth filling?
I had a cavity filled, possibly about three weeks ago, that is right next to a retreated root canal tooth. Well ever since then and in-between going back to have it shaved down to fix the bite, I had been experiencing pain on the side with the new filling, only when eating on that side or biting down a certain way. After going back for an x-ray, the dentist found nothing. No infection or anything wrong. Recently I felt I kind of figured out the issue when I lightly touched the newly filled tooth on the surface. A scratch in a certain spot on it with the fingernail brought a quick instance of pain. So if it’s not an infection, or coming from the retreated tooth next to it, it must be an issue with the filling right? Anyone know what kind of issue this is? What to expect before I head back to the dentist? Thanks
2 AnswersDental6 years agoIs this pain in the tooth and infection or a trigger?
Recently I had a cavity filled which was right next to an old retreated root canal tooth. After experiencing some pain, I went back to have the dentist shave it a few times to fix the bite, but there's still pain on that side only when I eat something that's not soft. I don't know if the work triggered something in the retreated tooth (which has been about a year since the re-treatment) or if there's some infection under the teeth there. Or could something still be wrong with the one he filled even though the bite feels normal. Just curious about what to expect before going back. This has been going on a little over 2 weeks after first getting cavity filled.
1 AnswerDental6 years agoWhy can't I enable multiple tab browsing for my internet explorer?
I've become used to the things I search automatically popping up in a new tab. For some reason it doesn't do that anymore. I've gone to internet options to enable tab browsing from the tab settings, but it changes nothing. Is there some other way to get it back, because nothing in internet options is working. The only things that pop up automatically in new tabs are fake add/potential viruses that I quickly close. Yet my searches open on the main window rather than in multiple tabs the way I want.
I have internet explorer 10 by the way

Anyone having trouble searching on Google Chrome? Often I get the blank page that says "This webpage is not available" and when I hit details it says 'Error code: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED'
The same subjects can be searched on google chrome on my phone, and Internet explorer on my computer. Why can't chrome searched simple things anymore? The things I want to search are still around. What's going on?
1 AnswerGoogle7 years agoHow do I get rid of the pop-ups on at&t yahoo browser?
The latest problem I've had with my homepage att.net (yahoo) is that the homepage froze when I tried to search and "yahoo is not responding" message pops up at the bottom. Internet explorer never finds a solution to the problem on its own, so I close out. I've tried a lot of solutions to try and fix it, but someone noted a lot of people have had the same issue lately, so maybe it was on yahoo's side.
Anyway I seem to be able to search now, but sometimes when I search or click on a link, another page pops up. Like an unknown pop-up/redirect page that I don't click on. Is there a way to block those, or is that a sign that there's already a virus I my computer that my antivirus didn't pick up or get rid of?
It's only started happening when I slowly started having trouble accessing att.net yahoo (with the 'not responding') Is this another issue on Yahoo's side?
Thanks for helping.
1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Products7 years agoWhy is Yahoo.com not responding?
Has anyone been having this trouble lately with att&t.yahoo.com? When I click on Internet explorer (I have 8 by the way) to go to my att&t homepage and I try to search, it freezes, and a message at the bottom of the page says 'Yahoo not responding'. How do I fix it?
I have a cleaner to get rid of cookies and my browsing history, but that does not seem to change anything. And most times, I cannot access the options under the menu bar because they're all in gray.
Thanks.
3 AnswersOther - Yahoo Products7 years agoWhat are some good fiction books involving first time or unlikely parents and a kid/kids?
Lately I've been watching the old 80's sitcom 'Webster', and with the series in mind, I was wondering if there were some good fiction books following a similar plot/subject to the series. If you don't know, the series involves a career working couple who take in their godson after the death of his parents. They never desired to have children, but are learning as they go.
So, what books feature such a family relationship? People/ a couple/ godparents willingly or rather unwillingly taking in a child/children maybe cause of a death or other reasons. Stories involving a slow building of a family relationship? Or even an adoption tale.
Maybe there's one like the show where a couple/family take in a child of a different culture/ethnicity. Or a couple not wanting a kid (s) but ending up having one, by either of the reasons I listed above or through pregnancy.
(It can be fiction, or fantasy, etc, but I'm not looking for non-fiction)
Thanks for your help
1 AnswerBooks & Authors7 years agoWhy is there a playback delay on the youtube videos in Google Chrome?
Lately I've noticed the videos I watch on Google Chrome do not run as smoothly as they used to. The audio plays fine, but there is a second delay as the video is playing. By that I mean the video actually pauses/freezes a second or two before continuing to play. It does it at several points in all videos. I run my pc cleaner to empty my cache/temporary files before going online, but the same thing occurs.
Is it just on Chrome or is this some youtube issue?
2 AnswersGoogle7 years agoHow do I get digital sub-channels for my new tv?
I recently got a 24" Sanyo LCD 720p HDTV and I wanted to know how to get all my channels to change to digital.
From the set up wizard, I have it set to cable. When it was scanning channels, it picked up analog and digital channels and RF channels (I don't have the exact number) The only other thing hooked up to my tv is the ps3 through the hdmi cable.
With this new tv, I was introduced to sub-channels for the first time. There are only two channels with two versions of subchannels: like channel 7 is, 7-0 and then 7-1. All the other channels are with a -0 and are not in HD. So, is there any way to pick up -1 channels or have a total conversion where all the channels are -1? Though my tv is 720p, I noticed on the channel info for channel 7-1 it says HD 1080i (dolby) audio 1/2. I don't know if that means something or not.
I called about it and I was told this set-up most likely has to do with the reception I'm getting from my cable network which is Cable One. I have no cable box or satellite connected to it. Is that the case, or is there still some setting I can adjust on my tv to get that high quality digital setting on all my channels?
Thanks for helping me clear this up!
