  • What kinds of flowers are these? I would like to use them for my wedding.?

    http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i344/nycolea13...

    I would like to use this exact bouquet at my wedding, but the site that hosted the photo does not say what type of flowers these are. What type of flowers are the orange, purple, and pink flowers? I have some ideas, but I figured it would be best to ask someone more familiar with flowers. lol

  • How do I get my money back for car?

    Okay, so I bought a car two weeks ago from a private seller who is also also a mechanic by trade. It is a 1997 Lincoln Continental with 200,000 miles. Yes, I know.... but it was $1200. I asked the seller in two different conversations if there is anything wrong with the car and he replied "there is absolutely nothing wrong with the car" and listed the things he had fixed on the car already. I test drove the car and liked it. He had told me that it was his ex wife's car, and on the title was just his ex wife's name, not his so I literally asked him "Do you have the authority to sell this car". He informed me "yes" made a big to do about how he wouldn't invite me to his house if he was trying to sell me a car he didn't have the right to sell. He even gave me a 30 day guarantee on the engine. So then he signed his ex wife's name on the title. Well I drove the car home and locked it, then didn't even drive it for a week before I was waiting for my temporary license plate (my mom had to mail it to me from another city since she and I are both on the insurance, she registered the car). Well when I put the key in the lock it didn't work. Turns out the key doesn't fit that lock. So I had to call pop a lock to open it. Now in one week of driving it the car has died on me six times. I took it to the shop and they're saying it needs a new fuel filter, tie end rods tightened, and an alignment. The estimate for this work was 700. I have already put in 1300 for the car, and really don't want to put in another $700 for this 1997 car with 200,000 miles. I was expecting it to last at least a year, not just a week before having issues.

    So now I just want my money back !

    Is there any way that I can do this? I was wondering if I could get it back based on the fact that he forged his ex wife's signature on the title. Doesn't that mean he didn't have the right to sell me the car in the first place? Or could I get the money back sense the tie rods are loose and the mechanic I took the car to said that people are not allowed to sell cars with front end issues like that, since it can cause a wreck.

  • How do I help my disabled mom find a home?

    So my mother is 48 years old and she has very bad arthritis, to the point where she is bed bound at times because the pain is so severe. She worked at the same facility as a CNA for 21 years, but she was fired in 2011 because her job claimed she did not turn in a doctor's note for a week leave of absence when she did. She was awarded unemployment, but her job sued her and won meaning she has absolutely no income right now.

    She has been applying to jobs and is taking classes at community college to increase her chances of finding a job, She has been living with her sister since 2012 and taking money out of her retirement even though she is not retired to have any type of income Recently the home situation with her sister has become quite dangerous and my mom needs a new place to live.

    The problem is my mom has a very limited income, doesn't have a job despite a lot of effort to find one, and I would have to pay for any place she lives. I can't really afford to pay more than $300 a month for her and I have looked on craigslist and can not find a room or house for this amount. We live in two different cities and she does not want to move because she is still in school. She is paying for school out of pocket.

    Is there any government program that my mom could apply for that would help her find her own place?

    Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

  • Can you only tan certain parts of your body in a tanning bed?

    I am African American and I have been thinking about tanning lately, but I just want to tan from my neck down. I was a tomboy growing up, so I wore a lot of t-shirts and jeans, so now my feet and face are much darker than the rest of my body. And now it looks weird (to me at least) when I wear strappy shirts.

    I want to even out my skin tone, but I don't want to make my face even darker, so can I put sunblock on my face before getting into a tanning bed, or are there light switches in the tanning bed for different parts of your body? Like the top 1/3, middle 1/3, and bottom 1/3?

    Thanks for your help !

  • Side effects of Haldol?

    If your patient who is taking Haldol all of a sudden has his eyes roll back into his head and becomes very stiff what is the proper name for these symptoms and how would you intervene. I have been looking in my drug books and in my psychiatric nursing book, but I am still not exactly sure what to call this.

    My guesses are tardive dystonia or tardive dyskinesia.

    Anyway, if you know what this is and how to intervene I would really appreciate your help !

  • Why would central venous pressure be increased in heart failure?

    I am reading my teacher's notes and she says that central venous pressure would be increased during heart failure because the heart cannot pump blood, but I do not really understand this.

    Wouldn't the CVP be low if the heart couldn't pump blood, since the heart is not able to create as much pressure to move the same amount of blood?

  • Could a licensed dermatologist answer this question please?

    I am African American, and I have a large area of hyper pigmented scars on the middle of my chest.

    I was wondering: if I put the highest level sun block on the scars, and go tanning in a tanning booth, would the skin around my scars basically blend in with the hyper pigmentation so you couldn't really see the scars? And would the sunblock stop my scars from getting darker?

    Thanks for your help !

  • A little confused about health insurance , please help.?

    Okay, I am a college student and I want to go to the doctor, but cost has been a regally big factor in this decision. I have been putting it off for weeks now. I have insurance, but I am not sure if it would be cheaper for me to go to my university health center, or to go to an after hours clinic. I want to see the ob/gyn and I'm honestly not even sure if an after hours clinic would even have that option.

    Either way, how can I figure out what would be the cheaper option?

  • Can you help me understand this explanation of testicular torsion?

    I am trying to understand what causes testicular torsion, but I am having a hard time understanding the following text.

    "The spermatic cord and the structures it contains The testicle is covered by the tunica vaginalis, a potential space that encompasses the anterior two thirds of the testicle and where fluid from a variety of sources may accumulate. The tunica vaginalis attaches to the posterolateral surface of the testicle and allows for little mobility of the testicle within the scrotum.In patients who have an inappropriately high attachment of the tunica vaginalis, the testicle can rotate freely on the spermatic cord within the tunica vaginalis (intravaginal testicular torsion). This congenital anomaly, called the bell clapper deformity, can result in the long axis of the testicle being oriented transversely rather than cephalocaudal. "

    I do not understand why the testicle would rotate freely, if it has a "highly attached" tunica vaginalis. Isnt' the tunica vaginalis anchoring it to the inside of the scrotum, so wouldn't it rotate less?

  • Why would you apply a heating pad for gas?

    I was in clinicals the other day and my pt was complaining about discomfort because of a lot of gas in her stomach. (She had a lot of abdominal surgeries)

    Well, there were no PRN or scheduled meds for gas, so my instructor told me to put a heating pad on the client's abdomen.

    Well, now I am working on my care plan in which we have to explain why we chose certain nursing interventions, and I honestly don't know why putting a heating pad on a gassy stomach would remedy the discomfort. I have tried looking it up on google, but that was no help.

    So if you can help me figure out why this intervention would work I would be GREATLY appreciative !
