First it was right in her crown and I brushed it off as she has a dry scalp and she likely scratched her head too much. Tonight I found two more areas in her scalp that are scabbing over and have a couple of open sores. (not big, but open none-the-less) The area that healed was almost peeling off as a sunburn would. We had battled lice for a couple of months because someone at her school had it and wasn't getting treated and she kept getting it. (I would catch it really quickly because after the first time I started checking her regularly so most times there'd just be one or a few in her hair) I started using olive & tea tree oil in her hair to deter lice from wanting to get in her hair. Which has helped, but now we're battling scabs and large flakes. Could there be a connection to the lice she was getting and these scabbed areas? (after the second round of lice I stopped using the pesticide b/c she's so young, I was using natural methods to rid her of the nits) I also have trouble getting her to eat enough food. She'll eat very little then say she's full so could it possibly be that she isn't getting enough vitamins?

I'm 5'1" and I weigh 117lbs. The only problem is I have belly fat. I've tried using an exercise ball and concentrating on my stomach only, I stopped eating later in the evening and I have watched what I eat, but it doesn't seem to help at all. If anything it's getting worse. (In case anyone is going to ask the dumb question, no I'm not pregnant) I was underweight for quite awhile and when I had an IUD placed I started gaining weight rather rapidly and I gained 17 pounds since I had it placed 10 months ago. I was ok with the weight gain until it seems to now only be going to my gut! I like the weight gain on all the other parts of my body and other than my stomach I think I look better and I don't want to lose the other weight. Any ideas on how I can lose weight from my stomach with out losing the weight on the other parts of my body?

I have a 2003 GMC Yukon Denali XL. I've noticed when taking off, it sometimes acts like it doesn't want to shift from 1st to 2nd gear. There are times I actually have to release my foot from the gas and then reapply it to make it shift. It doesn't happen every time, but often enough to bother me. Last night the 'service stability' prompt came up, but I know that can be anything from tire pressure to needing an alignment to Lord knows what else! I'm hoping my shifting from 1st to 2nd isn't a sign of transmission going bad. All of the other gears do fine and reverse works fine as well.

I take my foot off of the accelerator, it makes a noise like if you had a card in a bicycle wheel spoke. It makes this sound on the driver's side. I also noticed that after the car warms up good, the sound mysteriously disappears. What could this be? Also, someone else drove it and put gas in it and put 87 in it, could that affect the performance of my vehicle? Before it warmed up good today, it jerked a couple times when accelerating. (the lower grade gas was put in on Sunday)

I'm thinking about getting a cat that's about 10 months old and I'm looking into different litter systems. I've always liked the idea of the self cleaning boxes, but I came across the tidy cat breeze system (all though I don't like the idea of having to scoop out anything) But it seemed to have a lot of great reviews about odor control. However, it seemed like I would have to transition the cat to the box. Anyone have any suggestions on this?

I'm looking at Vehicles to buy and one the lot has for sale in my price range (I'm trying to get an SUV with 3rd row seating) is a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer with about 70,000 miles on it. (I currently own a car with close to 200,000) It has the third row seats like I want and an added plus is it has a drop down TV that will keep my kids entertained. I just want to know from people out there who have owned these if they think they're a good car. Thanks!

Ok, I don't know if anyone else has ran into the problem with finding a 100 watt bulb that ISN'T one of the things the easy bake oven people say it CAN'T be, but i certainly have. I have an excited 8 year old just oozing with joy over the easy bake oven her aunt bought her. I have some soft white 100 watt bulbs, but not one that isn't long life, soft white etc etc. I don't even know if they're still sold in stores, but apparently in my area they are not. Has anyone else had this issue or has anyone used to soft white light bulbs in the easy bake oven? When I went to the Hasbro site they claimed the ovens no longer need the bulbs, but apparently there are still some being sold that do, because the one my daughter received for Christmas needs a light bulb.

I still don't have my divorce. I hired him Jan 5, 2009. I'm in the state of Va. I left my ex in 2003, I got tired of waiting on legal aide so I met with a lawyer who was handling a friend's custody case. She is now having the same issue getting her divorce. I paid him $150 for the consultation. Then we set up a payment plan, $100 a month and he said it would cost some where between $800 and $1000. When I got to $750 I requested a final amount so I can pay him the rest in a lump sum. He stated he would get back to me and that I could expect papers the following week. (This was the beginning of October after multiple attempts to contact him) Since then I have emailed and called with no response. I put read receipts on my emails and he didn't even read some of them. I sent him another email today again requesting the final amount owed and when I can expect the divorce and even asked if he could not deliver I would at least like to get my money back. He did read this email, but did not respond. I am at my wits end. I want to be done with my ex legally so I can move on and have a life. I'm 30 years old and I'd like to get married again and would like to have a real life not restricted by legal documents. My ex doesn't even have contact with our children so it's not as if there's a reason to hold off on the divorce in case we 'get back together' that's definitely not happening. What can I possibly do to get my divorce or to get my money back? When I looked on the Barr site they stated they can't make a lawyer deliver the service or to pay me back. I was also told I can't sue him as I would a regular citizen.... so am I out that money or is there hope?

I haven't gotten a sunburn in quite some time and I've never had this happen before in the past. What could these bumps be? From what I have read about skin cancers they don't generally pop up over night. I'm still a little freaked out about them though. What else could they be? They're kind of ovalish and about the same color of my skin.

I want to plan a vacation for next year, but I don't have any one that can watch my kids for me to take one with out them. I want to be able to enjoy time with them as well as have time for myself to spend with my boyfriend one on one. What are some great vacations we can take together where they have kid camps or nannies? I'm looking for either a cruise or something on the east coast of the U.S. (My kids father NEVER gets them and hasn't seen them in a year and a half so I need time for me as well as quality time with the kids. I never get to go do anything for myself and my boyfriend and I never get go out together for 'dates.' our time together is always at my house so a vacation together is also out of the question with out taking the kids) I love my kids, but I also need a little 'me' time as well. I know there are some vacations that have a day or two where they have kid only activities so the parents can go do something for a few hours. I'm just having trouble locating one other than disney cruise lines. I'd like a few more options!

I am looking to buy a dog for my two kids and for me, and i want something i will continue to find appealing (i know that sounds shallow but there are many dogs i feel are very cute when they are little but as they get older i don't find as pleasing to the eye) if i'm paying money for something i want it to be worth the money i spend on it. my boyfriend's mother was just given a shnauzer by him and it is quite cute. when i started to research these on the internet to see if they would be ideal, they seem like they will be fine for us (however the 'giant' and normal sized ones seem to not stay as pretty once they get older and some looked to get rather large), and his sister also has a small one and they haven't had any problems with it being around their small daughter. now that i am looking to make a purchase i have been 'shopping around' looking into different breeders to see who has the best value (and blood lines etc) for the money i will be spending. in doing that i noticed some people advertising 'toy shnauzers' and some 'miniature shnauzers' but i can't seem to find any where that really discusses the differences in these two types. i don't want one that will get very large because my daughter is scared of bigger dogs. in fact my father just purchased a 16 week old brittany and she is absolutely terrified of the dog (especially since his dog reminds me of marley off of 'marley and me' in the way he acts) anyway, any info on the differences on the two types will be appreciated. i want info on any difference including temperment, size, ease of training etc.

1999 daewoo that has 60,000 miles has a knock in the engine. what would cause this and how much approximately to fix possible issues?

Looking for a set of paper dolls anyone else have these?

I am searching for a set of paper dolls that had a fold out 'set' that had one side of the 'set' had a soda fountain the other had the high school it came with several dolls with 50's style clothing. I am searching for these to add to a collection because i had them as a child. However, i can not remember the name of the set so i can search for it. Did anyone else have these and happen to remember the name of them?

so i moved into my apt march 1 (technically March 4th but the lease started on the 1st.) The lease states no cohabitation. It does not say i can not have over night guests nor does it say i can't have sex. (it will make sense in a minute) It also doesn't state i have to turn my heat off during the day. it does state my utilities are included. My boyfriend stayed the night two nights because he works 2nd shift and by the time he gets here its late. he's been around my kids since before my daughter was a yr old. she's 6 now. on sat morning my landlord informs me it isn't going to 'work out' and wants me to move. she then stated she would give me half my deposit back. i told her she was asking me to move and expected to only give me half of back and i would expect it all back. she then said fine. she then proceeded to ask me if my boyfriend and i have sex etc and i told her it was none of her business and she began to preach to me i shut the door in her face. she then called me not too long after and began to preach again. she called again on sunday and preached to me again and i told her to leave me alone and stop basing everything on assumptions since i wouldn't answer her questions. basically she's evicting me based on her personal beliefs and what she thinks we're doing together. she all but called me a prostitute and kept telling me how horrible of a person i am. she now gave me 30 days notice to leave and threatened to call the cops if he stayed the night. i know she can't have him removed and she also has to go to court to evict. but i'm leaving anyway as soon as i find some where else to live because i'm not dealing with harassment. she also came into my apt and turned my heat off the first day and told me i wasn't to leave it on all day while i wasn't here and there are no heating units in the back half of the apt. she then came down sat when it was 75 degrees out and turned it on then in the conversation on sunday accused me of leaving it on and it made her have to turn on her a/c and she would deduct the excess amount for her electric bill from my deposit. i want to report her for discrimination and unlawful eviction, but have no idea where in va i would do that. any help would be good. i am contacting a lawyer in case she tries to keep or skimp on my deposit.

a place in my area buys off low flood vehicles and sells them for a fraction of what the car would be worth otherwise. you can get a fairly new car for under 6,000. i'm in the market for a used car because i have a VW that keeps breaking down and has a lot of minor issues. (which all add up to a major price) i was just wondering if anyone had experience with low flood damaged vehicles and was wondering if they were worth buying at all. i'd rather have personal experience answers. thanks!

i am attempting to decide what exactly i want to do as a career and i want to know all of my options first. i would like to work with autistic children but i also have a strong pull to wanting to aide in helping catch online predators. i origninally figured special education teacher would be my best bet, but i don't really know that i would want to go that route. even though having summer's off is appealing, i just don't know that i would want to be a teacher and i don't know that i can see myself doing that the rest of my life. does anyone know what other options are available as far as careers dealing with autistic children? or how to make a career (other than being a cop) to work with catching online predators? (that isn't volunteer work, every one suggests volunteering but i can't feed my kids with good intentions)

and i've been searching for package deals. however it seems that none of them seem to include cake or photos. the wedding packages are already fairly expensive and many offer open bar for x amount of hours but not cake or photos. i would think it would be cheaper to include cake and photos than an open bar. anyway i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to do a better search. i googled 'wedding packages' along with the words 'key largo' but didn't come up with much. anyone know of a good place other than that to look? anyone know anyone that's gotten married there or has anyone gotten married there themselves? anyway, any suggestions will be helpful!

my grandfather served on this carrier/tanker in ww2. i have been trying to track down where it is now. i know it was sold to hillcone steamship co. in '48. i googled the steamship company but i have gotten no where. i would love to visit the carrier if possible. my grandfather was an amazing man and since he passed away i have greatly regretted not listening to more of his stories or asking him to tell me stories. if anyone has any info about where the ship is now i'd appreciate it! oh and i put it in this category because the question didn't fit anywhere else

ok so i'm thinking of purchasing a german bloodline german shepherd who's 8 months old. his cost is $1,000. if i purchase him i planned on putting him up for stud service because of his great bloodline. but i have no clue how much to charge for this service. anyone know?

ok so i've been on a quest for a german shepherd. but not just ANY german shepherd. a german blood line. i found one that is 8 months old and is $1,000. he's beautiful and HUGE. i was telling my sister about him and she said it would probably be just as much to import one of my own because the new pup prices are around $2250 each. does anyone know how i would go about importing my own pup? the dog i found is a male and i prefer a female because i can breed and sell the pups. but just curious if anyone knew how to import your own pup and about how much it costs!
