I twisted my back a day ago and in addition to the pain in my lower back, I also have pain in my lower right abdomen, like intense cramps, but it isn't really time for cramps right now. Are the 2 connected?

My USMC nephew is finishing school in San Diego and has immediate orders to Hawaii at the end of this month (his first duty station). His command there is telling him they will not ship his few household goods or his car over there because he's in a "student status" This sounds like total BS to me, but we did 23+ years in the Navy and don't know how different it is for the marines. He is married, surely they don't want them to go over there with no HHG or transportation, get a place off base and expect him to what? Buy a bike to get to work, her to go to school, commissary?

Anybody know the rules on this?

Can anyone tell me which hotels are along the route? Are there some places to sit or stand that are better than others, as far as more to see?

Thanks!

I am logged into Yahoo, I click mail on the home page and it takes forever, then says "DONE" at the bottom of the page when it's still blank. Or it comes up with an error. I've emptied my temp files, rebooted 3 times, nothing. Hubby can access his account with no problem on my computer, but mine just won't do anything. And it's not the same as being blocked. Password works fine, homepage is okay, I can click on news items, just the e-mail isn't working. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Hubby's making pies and we have a pile of granny smith apple peels left. Other than jelly, butter and apple vinegar, is there anything else we can do with the peels besides compost them?

How much liquid is supposed to be in the little applicator? I found some I bought in 2006 and want to use it. It has no expiration date, but I'm wondering about the amount that is in the applicator.

Thanks

Oven's clean now, but the rack is stained. What should I use to clean it?

In Texas, roommate took off and isn't coming back. The electric bill is in his name. Are the remaining roommates responsible? How to get the the power into someone else's name, preferably without having to pay this bill he left behind?

Let's put them out of their misery and cast some votes today, shall we??

You know you're going to spend the day here anyway, why not? ;)

We are looking at cruises for the summer and one makes a stop in Casablanca, with an option for excursions to Marrakech. Has anyone been to both and if so, which do you recommend? We will have one day in port and may have to choose one or the other, as I'm not sure when the excursions return, but I know they will leave early in the morning. We have two 9 year old girls who will be going with us, so please no suggestions of the best hookah bars :)

And who doesn't?

You know the ones, someone who was nominated a lot but never won, or the people who had a memorable screaming fit, meltdown or line that was blown way out of proportion?

Then, who do you believe was robbed of an Oscar and for what role?

If you are a U.S. citizen and put money into a Swiss savings account, does the bank report your interest to the U.S. government or leave it up to you?
