  • Pain in shoulder/arm on right side?

    Two days ago I woke up with a severe pain in my right shoulder (almost to my spine) all through the bicep of my right arm. It generally aches but sometimes if i move just wrong it REALLY hurts, and it feels weak.

    I assumed I slept on it funny, popped an aspirin and went about my day. It is still hurting though. It's not as painful as it was and I have full range of motion but sleeping is extremely unpleasant... I sleep on my right side and it hurts my arm now.

    What the heck did i do? Should I call the doctor or just stick a heating pad on it?

  • 蟲 and むしむし Questions (Japanese)?

    So few questions here.. I have seen both 蟲 and むしむし The hiragana when dialect is written and the kanji when Mushi is alone. What exactly does Mushi mean? is the definition different between the two above? I know 蟲 as insect but then it makes no sense to say むしむし when answering a phone...

    Help!

  • When could native americans own private land (not tribal owned)?

    I am beginning a story on a native american man (will most likely be Iroquois if it will matter) I began the story with the man owning a mine/house ect and trying to settle into a small town where he was outcasted for his heritage, but I am having a very difficult time finding when a native american could legally own private land that would be respected by USA law.

    So .. when would a native american be allowed to purchase/own land? Also were there ways of natives obtaining land legally with loopholes before they were allowed to purchase, Ie a gift or gambling?

    I know Native Americans weren't given a general citizenship until 1924 but was there a way for them to opt into being an American citizen and I suppose renounce their tribes?

    If you can link any sources it would really help :) Thanks I know it's a lot of questions in one.

  • Good sources to learn Japanese language?

    I'm looking for a few good reference books or websites that could help me learn Japanese at least some basics especially written. Most of what I have found myself is romanji or will list the Hiragana but then go straight into more complex things that I simply don't understand without much or any explanation of how to take the hiragana and understand the next lessons in verb usage and such.

    I only know a very small handful of words so I'm looking for something very beginner based. I don't care if it's a childrens book or text book just something that explains things well.

    Thank you all very much :) The japanese speaker at my work left and we're struggling quite a bit so I'd like to learn a bit to prevent this in the future.

  • Why have I started clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth?

    So until the last few months I never noticed myself clenching my jaw or grinding my teeth more than maybe a little clench if I was really upset about something but a few months ago I started clenching my jaw a LOT, as in probably as often as I don't have it clenched.

    I can't seem to relax my jaw by at least just mentally telling myself to relax it, and last month i started noticing that i also rub my teeth together constantly. They don't crunch together or anything but i was told this is still grinding.

    I plan to see my dentist to try to get a mouthguard or something but my question is WHY have I started doing this? I havn't had any major new stress or anything that I can easily relate to constantly clenching my jaw.

    Thanks

  • 2 sewing questions in 1. Zigzag stitch problem and sewing small circles?

    I'm very new to sewing and decided to make an owl stuffed animal I found online (soteitei.blogspot.com/2011/03/tutorial-… seemed pretty easy but on the first step I've already got two problems!

    1. My machine isn't sewing the zig zag stitch. It's a new brother, never used before. Needle/bobbin ect are all correct for machine because they are what came with it. Universal needle. I've checked bobbin case to make sure it wasnt dusty and have checked both top and bottom threading. I have the machine set exactly how the booklet says to set it for zig zag. I'm just getting straight stitches on a medium cotton blend. HELP!

    Also

    The little eyes for the owl, how in the heck am I supposed to sew this? I decided to try with straight stitch because I wanted something sewn and the machine is just too fast even at it's slowest and I tried to pick up the foot and turn the fabric as I sewed as slowly as the machine would allow and it ate the fabric which took me considerable time to get out and get everything back to how it is supposed to be.

    I just want to make the owl :(

  • PC not recognizing disc drive?

    I just built this PC last night with my boyfriend and everything was working just fine, this morning though my disc drive is missing. I can open/close it normally but the computer isn't reading any of the discs. Also it is not listed under My Computer but it is listed in the device manager with its driver being up to date.

    I've tried to uninstall/reinstall the driver but that didn't do anything.

  • Career for tricky character?

    I have been searching my brain trying to determine a career for a very important character in a three installment novel. I keep going back and rewriting the details of her work and it's driving me mad...

    The character is a young 20's female who due to an accident about 2years before the story has brain damage in the form of long-term memory loss, she also has a slight limp and occasional pain in her legs. She is highly intelligent but is not sociable kite the opposite she is one step from a shut-in and I really would like to give her a job that she can do from her home. What she did before the accident i keep changing with the current career so I'm finding no help in that, but I would like her to have made a decent to good living before her accident. She is highly logical as well and doesn't put much stock in the emotional or whimsical side of life. The amount of money her current employment brings in is a non-issue due to other circumstances.

    What could a young intelligent woman do that does not involve a lot of social interaction or physical activity with little to no skill sets due to her memory loss?

  • Do you know the name of this song or the artist?

    I cannot remember the name of this song or who sings it..

    I think it's a country song from maybe 5-10 years ago wouldn't be any older. The band (or at least the song) had a violinist in it.

    The chorus was something similar to

    "In my darkest hour I am free"

    And one of the verses is about the singer of the song sitting next to someone they love and holding their hand while they die.

    anyone? Sorry i can't remember much more about it.

  • conversation starter strange situation?

    I've recently moved across the country and an online friend i've had for about a year and a half lives about 45 min from my new home. Since we live within driving distance now we thought we'd meet up at an event his town holds. Well we missed each other and realized that if we'd had each others phone numbers it wouldnt have been an issue. He gave me his saying "Next time use this".

    I'm quite bored and lonely since I know very few people around this area and having him as more of a real friend rather than online friend would be great for me, but I think he's a bit akward around me since in the past it seemed he had feelings for me and I have a boyfriend.

    We met playing a video game together online and most of our conversations are based around it, seems silly to text about the game though.

    What's a good conversation starter via texting so I can start chatting with him on the phone so we can take our friendship to a normal life basis?

  • why are my questions being deleted?

    I posted in the video games section looking for someone to play world of warcraft with using their refer a friend option, the question was quickly removed.

    Nothing in the post was perverse, asked for any kind of personal information from people or was against Blizzards(world of warcraft) own TOS.

  • Is this non compliance to divorce decree?

    My boyfriend's divorce decree states in it that their shared home would be occupied and sold by him. In trying to get it on the market and sold as the decree states he has to get a sellers agreement signed by both mortgage holders (himself and his ex wife), she has so far denied signing it, and keeping him from putting the home on the market.

    This is keeping him from doing one of the things stated that he would do.

    Is this considered noncompliance on her part? and as a second note if she is in noncompliance and is taken in contempt of the court over it is it possible for her to lose her alimony because we know if she has a chance of losing her alimony she will probably sign readily.

  • Concerned about meeting his family?

    My boyfriend and I are currently in a long distance relationship, we plan on changing that this coming December. So far he has came to stay with me several times and has met and spent time with my family. He enjoys them and vice versa. What I am worried about is his family is very conservative. My family is very liberal. To add to that out of my family I am one of the more liberal of my family.

    I want to make a good impression and he tells me that I should not worry, but I can't help but be fearful that they will see my more liberal behavior as a fault and not like me for it.

    How can I still be me, and let them see who he is really with, without the fear of alienating our relationship in his family for my having different views on many subjects and culture?

  • birthday ideas for adults

    My boyfriend and I have been friends for about 2 years but only recently have became a couple. He live 1700 miles away from me currently. The week of his 37th birthday he is flying here to stay with me. I just moved and am short on cash but I really want to do something sweet for him. He is a romantic so I know that he will be very appreciative.

    So far all I've thought of is putting some of his favorite candies in the drawers of the dresser he uses here, get him a bottle of wine that he enjoys and a nice photo frame with a photo of he and I to put on his desk since he only has a digital one now.

    I'm looking for something that will blow his socks off, it's the first birthday we've had as a couple and he's coming all the way here for it.

    - thanks
