I am going on a cruise from San Diego to Cabo. What should I expect as far as being checked onto the boat? Do you carry all of your belongings on? Do they make you scan your luggage like at the airport? I know this has got to be a big NO NO, but what would be the best way to sneak on things such as alcohol? (I know there is plenty on the ship, but we are trying to stay within a budget). Can you bring back any liquor from Mexico? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2005 Acura TL and I was in an accident a few months ago. I have special molding strips that are on my car along the bottom. I think its called a rocker panel. Only half of my car's molding needed to be replaced so the collision center gave me the other half of the molding they ordered. Its still wrapped in bubble wrap and is straight from the factory. They only thing is, it's only going to fix half of a car. I want to put it on Craigslist to sell, but I am not sure how much to ask for the parts. Any suggestions??

When you purchase a used car from a dealership, aren't they supposed to check things like the oil??

My brother just purchased a used vehicle about 45 days ago and it started running weird. He took it to a shop that specialized in his type of car (acura). They said there is engine damage due to no oil. He has not even driven 2,000 miles. Shouldn't the dealership be responsible for the damage?

A few days ago I started getting a pain in the area where my female organs are. It was sore across my entire pelvic area. I was complaining about feeling bloated, gassy, and swollen in that area. Then yesterday I started spotting which is not normal for me. Now I can pinpoint the source of the pain and it kind of radiates through that general region. It gets really painful at times and the rest of the time its a dull pain. I am on birth control, which is supposed to help with cysts. Is this possibly a cyst or what else could it be?? I have a drs appointment tomorrow morning but I just wanted to get other's opinions, experiences, etc.

Thank you.

Yesterday I had stool samples taken. In one of the samples they tested for white blood cells. I receieved the test results today and it said there was none found. Is that a good thing? Or should there have been at least some WBCs? I'm sure the doctor would call me if there was something really wrong, but I am just curious.

For the past two months I have had sudden and serious cases of diahrrea. I have no other symptoms. Just really terrible watery stools. They come and go, lasting about 4-5 days where it is really bad. I've tried Immodium AD, Pepto, you name it... i've tried it. Nothing works. No one else around me has been sick, so I dont think its a virus. I have a doctor's appointment today but I am just nervous about what it could be. Its affecting the quality of my life and some days I cant even take care of my son. What are your thoughts? Food allergies? Chrons Disease? Has this happened to anyone?

I am thinking about entering into a "Hot Moms" contest our local radio station is hosting. I just had a baby 6 months ago and I'm still a little self conscious about myself. Would you vote for me based on these recent pictures? Please be honest, but kind. (I'm on the right in both pics).

In our rental contract it states that "Inspection to be done prior to tenants moving out." Our landlords never did an inspection or walk through yet they are charging us a completely unreasonable amount of money to fix things up. They never gave us a chance to fix anything that didn't meet their standards. Isn't that a breach of contract??? Should we be entitled to receive all of our deposit back?

I would appreciate as much insight as possible on this issue. Thanks!

I am about 33 1/2 weeks pregnant and for the last 5 days or so I have had horrible pain in all of my fingers and toes and sometimes my knees. It is worse during the middle of the night and in the morning after I wake up. The pain usually subsides within a few hours of me being awake. At night before I go to bed my joints start to hurt again. My fingers and toes are a little swollen. This morning I noticed that I was loosing some sensation in my right hand. Kind of like when your foot falls asleep. It only lasted a few minutes. Could this be arthritis? Is it possible that pregnancy causes it? I have my regularly scheduled doctor's appointment on Thursday, I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks!

Two nights ago my right ear started ringing on and off when I layed down to go to bed. It will ring for a few seconds then go away for a few seconds, and then it happens over and over again, until I fall asleep. Last night I noticed it happened again and now this morning I am noticing it while I am sitting here at work.

Is this something that happens during pregnancy? (I'm about 29 weeks). I have a very healthy blood pressure and have not been exposed to loud noises. I do not listen to headphones either. I have also not experienced any trauma or damage to my head, ears, or neck.

Could this be tinnitis? What could be the cause of this? Any help or advise is appreciated.

I am not sure how to ask this question diplomatically, but I will try my best. Has anyone noticed a change in their "personal female body odor"? Not to the point where it smells bad, but just a different scent than before?

I am now 16 days late. I took a test when I was 7 days late and it came up negative. I am usually on time within a day or two. I don't really feel any difference in my body. I kind of feel like I may be getting sick, but I am not sure. I do not feel like I will be starting my period anytime soon. Should I take another test even though the first one was negative and taken after being 7 days late? Could the reason for me being late be stress related? What are some of your experiences or opinions? Thanks!

I am going to Maui in a week and I was wondering if anyone knows of the best nightclubs on Maui. Preferrably some place that has people ages 20-30. Any information would be appreciated!

I am going to be 23 soon and would like some ideas on themed birthday parties. Any unique suggestions?

My grandfather was just recently diagnosed with olivopontocerebellar degeneration. Does anyone out there know a friend or family member who has this disease?
