Electronics break around me for no reason?
Okay I know this is going to sound really weird, but I think something might actually be wrong with me.
It all started last week. My laptop battery died out of no where, followed by the hard drive, my car battery, and another two laptops. The internet at my office has even been acting up. I've come to the conclusion that this is either some freak of nature series of events or something is actually wrong with me.
Basically I'm wondering if any medical condition exists that might cause electronics to not work around me? I know this might be a stupid question, but it just seems like too much of a coincidence to be anything else.
2 AnswersOther - Diseases1 decade agoPain after wisdom tooth removal?
I just got all four of my wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago. The pain hasn't been too bad...I was prescribed Vicodin and 600ml Ibuprofen, so I've only been taking half doses.
Yesterday, I started to feel pain on all the teeth on my left side (not just where my wisdom teeth were) like a really bad toothache. It feel like I'm constantly biting into ice cream or something. I just started experiencing this yesterday, but the pain is almost unbearable. Not even the vicodin is helping very well.
I'm planning on getting some Orajel or something today to see if that helps, but basically I'm just wondering if this kind of pain is normal after wisdom tooth removal? I've been rinsing with salt water and taking amoxocillin (to prevent infection) every day, so I'm hoping that means I don't have an infection.
Help is appreciated!
3 AnswersDental1 decade agoHas anyone tried to return a Herstyler kiosk product?
Alright so today I bought a curling iron from a Herstyler kiosk in the mall for $85 (the guy also gave me some shampoo and a comb thing). I really didn't want to buy it because I don't really need it, however I'm a giant pushover and felt too bad to say no. (I know I need to grow some balls so please don't tell me that's what I need to do)
Tomorrow I'm planning on going back to the mall to return it, but I'm worried that they are going to make it impossible for me to do. I've read some reviews online and every person who tried to return it said that it was next to impossible to get their money back.
Basically I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a return with the Herstyler kiosk. Any advice or things I should be prepared for?
When the guy sold it to me he said it came with a 1 year warranty, but didn't mention anything about a return policy. He never said "No returns" or "All sales are final" or anything like that. I still have the receipt and haven't touched anything in the bag since I bought it.
3 AnswersHair1 decade agoMy boyfriend said he's not sure if I'm "the one", but still wants to be with me?
So this weekend I was at my boyfriend's house. He's 22 and we've been dating for a little over 6 months. We are in love with each other and haven't had any major problems in our relationship yet, until yesterday. We were laying on his bed and talking and he started to cry. He told me has was afraid he was eventually going to break my heart and that he would hate more than anything to see me upset. I didn't quite understand at first, but then he said "were both young and I don't know if I'm ready to be dating the last person I'm ever going to date"
We have never talked about marriage before because we are very young (I'm 19). I was hurt by what he said because even though I've never told him, I could really see myself with him for the rest of my life. He said that he loves me more than anything and that he wasn't breaking up with me. He said he still wants to be with me and for things to go back to how they were before he said anything. He said that his feelings about the future aren't certain, but he felt like he needed to get it off his chest.
So my question is, how am I supposed to deal with this? How can I go on being in a normal happy relationship with him knowing that there might be a time limit on us as a couple? Of course I had no idea weather or not it would end in marriage, but if it FOR SURE won't then what are we even doing together?
A couple other things to consider: I am his longest relationship and the only person who he has had sex with. He also has OCD. He doesn't do rituals, but he tends to obsess over things and let them eat away at him. He was on medication a few years ago, but stopped.
Is it possible that he just started thinking about our future and freaked out? Maybe he's scared because this is his longest relationship? What do you think?
13 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoAirbrush makeup brands?
As I am getting more experienced in my career as a theatre makeup artist, I am looking to buy my own airbrush kit. I have looked into a few brands, but I'm wondering if someone can recommend a certain one from experience? I would prefer a cheaper price, but I don't want to compromise on quality either.
1 AnswerMakeup1 decade agoPost cavity filling issues?
This might be a little lengthy...
So about 4 weeks ago, I went to get a cavity filled on the molar right next to my wisdom tooth on the right side. I'm 19 and I've never had a cavity before and I still have all my wisdom teeth. I was told quite a while ago to have my bottom wisdom teeth taken out because they are impacting my bottom teeth however, I haven't been able to do it yet because even with my insurance, having them removed will cost me about $800. Pain-wise, they bothered me about a year ago when they were coming in, but I haven't experienced any pain since then.
So about 2 days after my filling, I began to notice that all my teeth on the bottom right side were extremely temperature sensitive. Then the next day my whole jaw was in bad pain on that side. I finally went back to the dentist a few days ago for a cleaning and the dentist told me my gums in that area were infected and it had spread to the bone (that's why my jaw was in pain). She told me it was because of my impacted wisdom teeth (which I agree probably added to the issue).
I'm just wondering if it was possible that the dentist who did my filling might have done something to cause the infection? I just find it too ironic that I was completely pain free prior to my filling, and wound up with a gum infection the next week. Or is it purely my wisdom teeth's fault?
I have an appointment made to have my wisdom teeth removed, but the soonest they could get me in was November...
1 AnswerDental1 decade agoDry Shampoo/ Hair powder question?
I have a dark auburn hair color and I'm looking for a good dry shampoo or hair powder for day in between hair washing. I would prefer powder, but I haven't been able to find any except baby powder and that really only works well for blondes. Is there maybe a hair powder for dark hair? Anyone know any good brands?
1 AnswerHair1 decade ago2 Questions for people with nose piercings?
Okay so I just got my nose pierced with an L stud about a week ago and I have kind of a gross question. Don't bother responding if you don't have a serious answer... How do you deal with blowing your nose with the piercing in? I haven't quite been able to figure out an easy way to do it. I really don't want to take it out to blow my nose because it's not healed yet and it's still really sore when I touch it.
Also, the day I got it pierced, the guy who did it told me to just clean it twice a day using anti-bacterial soap, but it dries the skin on my nostril out really bad. Is there a better cleaning product for a nose piercing that won't dry out my skin?
5 AnswersOther - Skin & Body1 decade agoI was bit by a dog, help?
Over month ago I was at a pet store with my boyfriend and one of the employees let us play with a puppy english bulldog in a little pen. After a few minutes the dog started nipping at us and left me with a huge gash in my leg and two deep tooth-puncture wounds in my right arm.
The store employees didn't seem to care (or notice) that I left the store bleeding I multiple places. Now over a month later, the wounds have not healed. I mean, they've stopped bleeding obviously, but it looks like I was just bit yesterday.
Should I be worried? Do you think it will scar? Should I contact the pet store?

I'm having a cavity filled the day after my birthday (July 13th) and I'm having a party on July 17th, where I was planning on drinking. I've never had a cavity before so I'm just wondering if drinking will affect the filling or anything.
