    I have an extremely painful headache on top of my head, I have had it for about 12 hours.. It seemed to be triggered when I walked by some painting being completed at an amusement park.

  • Scion xD 2008 Wheels?

    I bought the floor model of my Scion xD and the wheels make it so that I have to get custom tires that are WAY too expensive. I don't really give a flip about having shiny wheels, and didn't realize it would be so exorbitant.

    I am wondering if I buy new wheels, how much will they cost? They're about $200 a tire now. It's way too much.

  • Why does Tropicana orange juice taste so much better?

    It is my opinion that Tropicana is the best orange juice and all other is crap. Much like Heinz ketchup and all others. There is no comparison.

    But WHY is it so much better? Does anyone know? Type of oranges? Pasteurization process? Orange oil? Magic elves? What?!

  • Java Help Question Nested If Statement?

    The "Employee Bonus" output is where I'm having problems. It's coming out as .03 which is the percent of the bonus, but it's not multiplying BONUS_3 * employeeSalary. Is something declared incorrectly?

  • Anxiety attack or panic attack length? Urgent!?

    Please, please help me.

    I had today what can indistinguishably be described as an anxiety/panic attack. After a series of internalizing many stressful events--- my chest swelled with pain, my heartbeat was fast irregular and hard, my head was pounding, my stomach and back were excruciating, and I was crying uncontrollably.

    I took deep breaths, and stopped crying but the emanating body pain continued until I drove home. Then, I began to get hot and cold flashes.

    I took a pain medication and was finally able to sleep [I had been running on empty]. I woke up, felt better but two hours later.. ALL THE PAINS ARE COMING BACK. Just as bad as before.

    This is so horrible, I generally have a very high tolerance for pain and would not complain if this wasn't seriously terrible. I want to know if I may have a fever/flu on top of the attack.. and what I should do if these symptoms continue.

  • Teaching in Japan startup fees? Is ¥500,000 normal?

    Hello.

    I was recently offered a contract with a large ALT outsourcer in Japan. They seem like a very nice company, but the startup fees seem a bit high. They are asking about ¥70,000 each for key money, deposit, agency fee, and 1st month rent, along with ¥30,000 for fumigation and locks--- totaling about ¥310,000. The additional money is to live for the first six weeks without a paycheck.

    So, is this normal? Many people I've talked to have said these startup fees were paid by the company. Please help in any way you can. Thank you.

  • Should I take the Eikaiwa or ALT position?

    I have been offered two jobs in Japan, and I was wondering if anyone could offer me some insight in choosing between a big ALT outsourcer or a big eikaiwa. I've gotten job offers from both but am still contemplating my decision. I've heard plenty good and bad about both-- but I want your insight!

    The big "A" Eikaiwa pays slightly better, but I get very little vacation (plus my workweek is Tuesday-Saturday and most national holidays fall on Mondays!). I will also be in a suburb of Tokyo, which is awesome but will increase my living expenses.

    The big "I" ALT provider has offered me a job but has not placed me yet (will probably be rural so I will learn Japanese and really embrace the culture) but the vacation sounds great.

  • Relationship confusion-- Please help?

    Basically, I'm afraid to get back into a relationship with a man, let's call him Kevin, I care very VERY much about. We first met two years ago at a New Year's party, and began a very serious relationship very quickly. Problems happened, we broke up. But we still light up when we see each other and love each other very much.

    He's in a 1.5 month relationship right now where he's happy enough. Content. What we have is far from that.. He says he would drop it in a second if I were ready to begin our relationship again. We both imagine starting a family together and spending the rest of our lives with one another.

    But, I'm still scared. What has changed to stop this incarnation of the relationship from being riddled with the same problems we've faced before? Is this vision of our love just an illusion? I don't want to hurt him again if this apprehension is not unfounded.

    To further complicate the situation, I'm leaving in March to teach English in Japan. Kevin and I have two options at this point-- to remain "friends" and keep hope in the faint idea that the fates will bring us together again, OR start up the relationship again try to work on our problems while I'm still here, and plan to get married upon my return.

    It's not fun, and damn messy. This is a condensed version, the other was too long to read and no one answered. Thank you so much. Peace.

  • Relationship confusion, please read.?

    This is a rather complicated question and I'd like any insight you can give to me. Yahoo Answers has been extremely helpful in the past, and I thank you in advance for your wonderful help. If you don't have time-- just skip to the last few paragraphs and it will summarize it relatively nicely.

    Basically, I'm afraid to get back into a relationship with a man, let's call him Kevin, I care very VERY much about. We first met two years ago at a New Year's party, and began a very serious relationship very quickly, probably too quickly. Completely and utterly, madly in love, yadda yadda. We got along famously and just "got" each other fantastically. He asked me to move into his house at about the four month mark so we could see more of each other, but his business became very busy and we spent less and less time together. I felt very alone and isolated because I had moved in but he seemed to rarely make time for me, and I soon became unsettled.

    A year later, December, I said I was ready to leave the relationship. So we ended it. And I found someone else, which made Kevin realize how much he missed me. He was destroyed-- became very reclusive, stopped eating, began to look at work differently and took up boxing to vent his frustration. That March, Kevin confronted me and told me that he wanted me back. He'd re-assessed how important I was and after playing the field a bit himself, realized how special what we had was. I was apprehensive to go back, I was happy in my new relationship. It wasn't the same, but I was happy. The new relationship didn't, however, have the consensual love I had with Kevin (new guy didn't like me as much as I liked him). Kevin gave me an ultimatum-- Come back or he wouldn't be waiting for me when I was ready. (I know this sounds melodramatic, and I suppose it was. He was in extreme emotional distress over the situation and needed some possibility of relief.)

    So, after much conflict, tears, and sleepless nights, I went back to Kevin. But, truly, I wasn't really "over" the new guy, and didn't truly return to Kevin that April. I tried to go through the motions but it was not the same-- I felt like I had been lured to come back before I was truly ready. It was evident to Kevin and it nearly drove him crazy with pain and frustration that I didn't feel as madly in love with him as he did with me. He had thought, when we got back together, things would be perfect-- and they were far from it. Neither of us were happy.

    We separated a second time this September. We agreed to wait a month before dating anyone, but soon found new people to fill our days with. We didn't see or really speak to each other for about two months.

    Just a month ago, this November, I needed a drive to the airport and all my family, friends, new boyfriend were out of town. So, I asked Kevin. He said of course. When we saw each other for the first time, both of us lit up like Christmas trees. My eyes swelled with tears when we embraced. I was so happy to see him, and he felt exactly the same.

    We began talking again, and spoke of the connection we had when we first started dating.. and realized we did not have anything that resembled the connection with our current significant others. My misguided relationship was already on the verge of disintegration and ended, but Kevin's still continues. We see each other maybe once a week, and both of us live for the idea of seeing one another again. If a plan gets canceled, we're both completely dejected. It's not sex or kissing or anything like that, he still has a girlfriend, it's just spending time with one another and holding each other when we embrace. It's quite clear we're still in love-- and everyone who sees us interact is confused as to why we're not together. Honestly, so are we.

    >>TIME-CRUNCHED PEOPLE JUMP HERE<<

    He's still in a relationship with another woman where he's happy enough. Content. We, however, think of who we would want to be with if the world were about to end and say each other's names. He says he would drop it in a second if I were ready to begin our relationship again. We both imagine starting a family together and spending the rest of our lives with one another.

    But, I'm still scared. What has changed to stop this incarnation of the relationship from being riddled with the same problems we've faced before? Is this vision of our love just an illusion? I don't want to hurt him again if this apprehension is not unfounded.

    To further complicate the situation, I'm leaving in March to teach English in Japan. Kevin and I have two options at this point-- to remain "friends" and keep hope in the faint idea that the fates will bring us together again, OR start up the relationship again try to work on our problems while I'm still here, and plan to get married upon my return.

  • Would it be weird to cover my tattoo with a Band-Aid to teach in Japan?

    I may be hired in Japan as a teacher. However, I have a small tattoo on the back of my neck which is visible in non-collard shirts. Would it be too strange to place a large Band-Aid on my neck to cover the tattoo? I have long hair and would usually wear it down or a head band, but if my hair falls out of place I'd like to have a back up.

    Would they be overly suspicious of an omnipresent Band-Aid? Please help in any way you can.

  • Relationship issue-- please help.?

    My boyfriend and I have just decided to take a one month hiatus from the relationship to redetermine our stances.

    Basically, my problem is, I love him. He is my best friend and we share our lives together. The beginning of our relationship was very passionate but, after a while I no longer felt sexual passion towards him. This continues today. I had begun to think normal sexual desire was not necessary for a long-lasting relationship, but this is probably incorrect. (We are still very young.)

    I feel like these is some sort of emotional boundary preventing me from wanting to be intimate, but cannot pinpoint what it is exactly. Do you think it is fixable? I was hoping someone else has encountered the same situation and may have some insight.
