Hi,

I just bought my Mom a Nespresso essenza mini coffee machine. She bought a pack of americano coffee pods that are compatible with the machine. 

Can I use the pod on the lungo setting or do I have to use it on the espresso setting and then add more water?

What's the significance of a pod labelled specifically as a particular coffee drink? 

Hi,

I'm in my early 30s. I suffer from acne (though it's improved in the last 12-18 months)

I have a lot of scarring from acne, uneven skin tone and a little pigmentation. I have large open pores in the centre of my forehead, sides of nose and apples of my cheeks. I have oily / combination skin.

I'm using an excellent oil cleaser with the hot cloth method to remove makeup and cleanse. I follow that with an alcohol free toner for pores. Then a light gel with salicylic acid for scarring and uneven skin tone followed by a serum, and a rebalancing cream with salicylic acid recommended by a beauty pro following a facial.

Is there any need for a moisturiser as well? I have a good day time moisturiser but I don't know if it's needed after all the other products!

I like to use a few drops of bio oil too to help with the scars.

Regards,

Confused and flustered!

I'm in my early 30s, he's late 30s. He had a bad experience with his ex of 10 years and is wary of starting anything new. I really like him and we've been out a couple of times but he wants to be friends. I think he wants more. He's all about the hugs and yesterday he texted me suggesting we practise kissing on each other. Yes, I said he's late 30s, not 15!

Should I make out with him but keep my options open? In other words, just have some fun and see what happens? Or is he using me until he meets someone else?

Ok, I went on a couple of dates with this absolutely lovely guy, but, he wants a family, and I cant have have kids. So, we've agreed that we're just going to be friends. We've met for dinner and a film a few times since, as friends. He tells me what a dear friend I am etc.

The guy is all about the hugs. He wraps his arms round my waist and hugs for ages. He even hugged me and kissed all along my collarbone one time.

He texts, jokingly...I think... asking if there's any harm in kissing a friend?

I really like the guy and I'd love for him to be my boyfriend, but he still tells me im a dear friend... but wants to kiss.

Opinions?

I've been on 2 dates with a lovely guy, but for different reasons, we've mutually agreed to just be friends. This is fine and I think we'll be very good friends. The thing is, he seems to have a hug obsession. He texts me saying how great our first goodbye hug was. How he didn't have to stoop to hug me, how he was able to wrap his arms right round my waist. He says he's a very tactile person. He texts me saying he can't wait til we meet up again so he can hug me again. He texts me saying he wishes he could hug me right now. He's all about the waist hug and rubbing lower back and hips.

So, is he chancing it? Or is he after friends with benefits? Or has he got a touchy feely fetish? Maybe just a big softie who likes hugs?

Hi,

I'm in the process of repeating my final year college exams...again. I just can't seem to pass them.

This is not where I had planned on being right no.

I had been looking forward to getting my degree with everyone else in my class and maybe travelling or getting part time work.

Instead, I'm stuck at home dancing to the tune of my lecturers and my parents.

I feel so much pressure to pass. I feel stupid for failing and I feel as though I'm worthless most of the time.

Today, I was feeling a little more confident. I felt as though I could get these exams I just had to keep positive. Then...POW!...My mother delivered a body blow. She arrived up to my room and said "we really need you to get this (exam)"

I'm so upset and angry. How could she say that to me?

As if I'm not under enough pressure and stress already!

I've recently started using firefox as my web browser (instead of Internet Explorer)

I want to reinstall I Tunes on my laptop.

When I go to the Apple website and click download I get a Firefox popup saying it is a binary file. It's downloaded but I can't open it.

Can anyone offer help?

Thanks

hi,

my neighbours are getting a wii from santy and have asked me to set it up for them xmas morning,

I don't have a wii.

I know how to sync the remotes to the console

if the console loses power or is plugged out, is it necessary to resync the remote and additional remotes or are they recognised by the computer anyway?

Hi,

My mother had been receiving Remicade via IV as a treatment for her chronic and advanced rheumatoid arthritis.

All was going well until earlier this week. She had severe reactions to the drug and as a result will not be able to receive it anymore. She had tightening in her chest, broke out in hives etc.

She has also tried Metatraxate but this caused even worse reactions.

Is there anything else that you would recommend trying??

Thanks.

Hiya,

I've got no idea what to get my parents for Christmas.

I usually get them each a few small things but I'd like to get them something they can both enjoy.

I was thinking about a gift voucher for a weekend away.

Any other suggestions?

Hi,

I am measuring myself for a new bra.

I was wearing a 38E.

I've now discovered that I an a 42 in a back strap which is a rise of 4 back strap sizes. This means I drop 4 cup sizes to a B.

This has to be wrong. I definately am not a B as I am large breasted.

Please help.

Hi,

I'm in Ireland and I'm planning a break for my mom's birthday.

I'm thinking a city break, maybe for 3 or 4 nights.

Her birthday is October

- Ideally the weather would be warm but not hot.

- She has arthritis so a lot of walking is out.

- It has to be somewhere with easy access to the sights, shops and restaurants.

We went to Paris last year and had a great time

Hiya,

I want to get my friend (female) something Tiesto related as she loves dance/trance music. I haven't a clue what she sees in it but anyway!

Which would she prefer? A Tiesto Dvd or Cd?

Hi,

My friend will be 22 soon and I've no idea what to get her. As with a lot of people, I have a shopping budget.

She's into clothes and shopping but as she's not working, she has very little money to shop, so I was thinking about a gift voucher for her favourite store.

She likes movies too. She doesn't like anything too complicated or with too much of a backstory (she finds it to hard to follow).

She likes films like Saw, P.S I love You and Step Up.

I was thinking about getting her a selection of films with a good story line. Maybe some classics like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, that sort of thing.

If anyone has any suggestions for some Dvds or anything else I could get her for her birthday that would be great.
